My argument is they decided to cut cost on QA. It's very likely a higher paid QA team would of caught this.

A higher paid QA might of told management, hey this is a very high risk change. If we're going to roll this out let's limit it to reduce the numbers of people affected.

If you on shore your core development, but outsource all of your QA, I'm forced to assume you value QA less.
Funny you say that. I recently picked up a textbook on Corporate Finance for self-learning purposes. Going through the problem sets, it's not really that useful if you have no idea if you got the answer right or not. Looked all around online for where to buy the solutions manual, ended up just calling the publisher to ask. Turns out they refuse to sell the solutions manual to anyone not a registered instructor at a University.

It took like 5 minutes on the phone to even explain to them that I'm reading the book for self learning purposes. Like they'd never encountered such a thing. Even after explaining, they wouldn't let me have the solutions.

I ended up just going on the black market, and finding some anonymous person to sell me the solutions on WhatsApp for $25.
I honestly couldn't care less if an app is low quality, I'll just uninstall it. I don't think it's feasible to have a system where no apps ever get immediate uninstalled after trying for a few seconds and realizing it isn't what the user wants.

What would be really nice is if they cared when developers push breaking or otherwise trashy updates. I've completely dialed automatic updates because of it. The number of times an app updates and everyone including me tries 1 star reviewing to no avail is too high. Especially with the inability to backdate apks without losing all the on-device data
You can run single-purpose software on bare metal, and many OS-agnostic toolkits for things like user interfaces exist
Even GPT-3.5 was correct, and so was Claude Sonnet 3.5. Haiku usually gets it wrong.
They are a hostile dictatorship, with zero resources but their oppressed people. Why would USA be interested in allying with them?
I know a BSD. Half of the things you wrote above are wrong.
I would say everybody smart is doing that, but a lot of the dumb money in AI right now is just wrappers on the GPT API That makes for a flashy demo with no underlying substance or expertise.
from an operations point of view, I am surprised anyone likes Raft. I have yet to see any application implement Raft in a way that does not spectacularly fail in production and require manual intervention to resolve.

CRDTs do not have the same failure scenarios and favor uptime over consistency.
While Florida was/is a swing state in US elections, whoever secures the ex-Cuban vote wins a massive amount of electoral votes. Republicans are fine jockeying against Cuba "because communism", and so the Democrats are in a pickle in that the right thing to do would be to improve relations with Cuba but it guarantees to hand Florida over to the Republicans who will then have the presidency and proceed to treat Cuba as-is.

If Florida remains reliably Republican anyway, it's possible the Democrats may get enough electoral support from the rest of the country to still win future presidencies and ease up on Cuba without caring about the Florida ex-Cuban vote.
> an OS that requires frequent security patches
> Security is not a feature that can be layered on. It has to be built in

This is a common misunderstanding, an OS that receives frequent security updates is a very good thing. That means attention is being paid to issues being raised, and risks are being mitigated. Security is not a 'checkbox' it's more of a neverending process because the environment is always in a state of flux.

So to flip it, if an OS is not receiving updates, or not being updated frequently, that's not great.

What you want is updates that don't destabilize an OS, and behind that is a huge history and layers of decisions at each 'shop' that runs these machines.

Security is meant to be in layers and needs to be built in.

> but it still doesn't work.

It does work because the 'scene' has been silent for so long, but what we as humans notice is the incident where it didn't.
I'm trying to agree with you here, not shame you, but I do think there's something to the idea that you just shouldn't write code that you wouldn't want to be public. In the long run, it's a principle that will encourage growth in beneficial directions.

Also proprietary code is harder to write because you can't just solve the problem, you have to solve the problem in a way that makes business sense--which often means solving it in a way that does not make sense.
I live in a rural area so walking anywhere civic is not possible so I always drive.

In the current economic environment, something doesn't have to be wise or even feasible to have an "industry"
From what I've seen when I've had CTs (I am not a medical professional and have no direct ties to their industry), the machine sends the images in real time to a technician in another room. Those images are then sent to an offsite service for review by a radiologist, then returned to the doctor to give you the results and they're uploaded to Epic where I can review them online at my leisure.

It's all on a network for a reason. If it's on a network, it has to comply with all regulations that govern the service.
It’s not a naive question at all: it’s a very nuanced and controversial question in at least two major ways.

The question of what constitutes reasoning is extremely difficult to answer or attempt to answer in a rigorous way. We struggle with clear bright lines on this even as concerns biological organisms with vastly more flexible goal-directed behaviors, and on the closely related concept of consciousness, we lack a consensus even for humans in the womb.

Speaking for myself I tend to focus on “useful” levels of planning, generality, and goal-seeking to sidestep some of the thornier philosophical issues.

Even there things are wildly controversial. There is a significant group (including some very serious and credentialed experts) who claim that the trajectory is clear: some version of AGI is not only possible with these architectures but so imminent as to demand drastic policy decisions.

There is another group (likewise including unimpeachably credentialed experts) who claim that there is no evidence for this extraordinary claim, and that attention decoders in no way show potential for this kind of generality.

My understanding of the math and mechanism, for whatever it’s worth, inclines me to agree with the latter group.

Change is the hardest part of changing US policy towards Cuba because the legal and regulatory elements are old and thus deeply baked in to ongoing operations. Potential alignment of Cuba for other adversaries isn’t a serious enough threat nor engagement a sufficient benefit to overcome government inertia. Cuba isn’t as much of a mess as Haiti and also isn’t a tiny success like Singapore.

Here is hoping that Cuba will be able to help itself out of a perhaps weakening despotism but the default hypothesis is not to hold one’s breath.
They get automatic cool points by virtue of being launched to another planet.
> As it happens, one of the unwilling customers is the police force where I live. I can tell you what the police would have answered: "We're supposed to take down the police servers outside our normal schedule for a problem that does not affect us? Are you serious?" How do you suggest that the next CA should answer?

Should have picked a CA that can follow fundamental rules that apply to every CA that wishes to be trusted, shouldn't have fucked around and found out,
I think this outage is easily avoidable with better processes, and I have no skin in the game (was unaffected personally), but I don’t really see anything wrong with including the company. He basically flushed everyone’s stock down the toilet and possibly doomed the company in the long term, and lots of people like having jobs and it’s disruptful to them. Do you think this is appropriate in general, just shouldn’t be in the public statement and instead in an all-hands? Or would apologizing to the company always be seen as in bad taste to you?
You want Apple to… start building a public toilet infrastructure? and judging them for not as not caring about their users? Seems a bit extreme of a stance!
It foreshadows a degenerate form of AGI, where AI isn't nearly smart as humans, but is convincing enough to bring human intelligence down to its own level.
Zero-Day Ethereum P2P DoS
A bunch of Floridians who are, or are descended from, folks who had their land and businesses seized during the revolution are holding grudges and won’t let go of them until they’re given their stuff back or a ton of money, which, this far on, isn’t happening.

Florida is important in Presidential elections.

US elections are structured such that dumb stuff like a relatively small—but loud—and also hopeless interest in a single US state can influence policy and make a whole bunch more lives worse for no good reason.

AFAIK that’s basically the story.
I'm currently working through calculus. I picked up Spivak's and Apostol's books-- probably the most recommended calc books on the internet. Aaaand... they're ok. There are many parts that are confusing, not because calculus is "hard", but because the authors didn't do any user testing. If they actually reworked the books to minimize real students struggling, the books would have been much much easier to self-study from.

I eventually found David Galvin's calculus notes[1] from University of Notre Dame. He basically follows Spivak closely, but reorganized the material a bit in response to user testing. The notes aren't perfect, but much much easier to follow. Same experience with Terence Tao's linear algebra notes[2].

I think book authors, even very highly respect ones, often kind of suck because they optimize for writing a beautiful book, not for minimizing student confusion. Once you struggle through the confusing parts, yes, the book is beautiful. But it's supposed to be written for people to learn, not for experts to appreciate! Notes written by professors who teach smart kids, optimize for minimizing confusion, and do real user testing are often much better than the best books, in my experience.

Any solution needs to be wide spread.
Well, we're talking about Western Europe here. You either live there, or you're a tourist. Even if you don't have an Euro, you can just ask a random person and chances are they'll give one to you.
You don't understand the word objective. It is beyond arrogant to think that controlling when a customer's day gets ruined is your prerogative. Let them make that decision.
Yeah. Too bad they never left the "invaded by religious assholes" part of history.
I mean when there is mass embargoes against your country so much so that normal everyday things we take for grated are hard to get things can become tough.

But we could also just say "lamo commy dont werk" without understanding the geopolitical reasons for why a country might be struggling.
People naturally choose speeds according to how safe they feel not how safe it is for everyone else.
If you have a residential area road which is straight and wide enough to go fast people will choose higher speed than on a narrow road.

This proves it doesn't work unless you only care about safety of people in cars (which Salomon curve seems to based on meaning it's meaningless for road design with the exception of highways).
Regardless, much code would be shared. Likely including the offending null pointer access of this case.
There's certainly a ton of stuff that ideally should be removed, but they'll automate the selection of apps to remove and obviously there will be false positives and obviously there will be no mechanism to appeal other than hoping your sad story about it goes viral.
I guess I agree Microsoft shouldn't be endorsing like this, but access to the kernel is a good thing for other developers. What IT overall should've done was even 1 day of rolling updates. Just something to test it before deploying world-wide. I feel for my company's IT but if (and idk how it's deployed, maybe they can't) they could not deploy updated to everyone at the same time, that would've fixed this.
Why isn't there a text book that explains math content as simply as Stat Quest?

Also, thanks for the resources, they look really good.
It almost seems the Cuban exiles want the people they left behind in Cuba to suffer as much as possible. What else have the sanctions achieved?
Testing is a afterthought for the many, many developers who think that way. Because of that, bad quality is still squarely developers' fault.
> Perhaps one reason is that OSS system programmers are washing their dirty linen in public; not a matter of "many eyes make bugs shallow", but that "any eyes make bad code embarassing".

There's something to it. Anecdote of one: at one time management threatened^Wannounced that they planned to open the code base. I for one was not comfortable with that. In a commercial setting, I code with time to release in mind. No frills, no optimizations, no additional checks unless explicitly requested. I just wrote too much code which was never released (customer/sales team changed its mind). And time to market was typically of utmost importance. If the product turns out to be viable, one can fix the code later (which late in my career I spent most time on).
Scores are also interesting in that you can get 1.0 match on a classification task, but if the model is dog shit it’s 1.0 of dog shit.

I’m still struggling with the degree to which I want to expose raw scores to users for that reason.

On the other hand, sometimes a document that slightly above an arbitrary threshold isn’t great, or a document slightly below an arbitrary threshold may be fine.

I’m excited about how easy it is to do this stuff, as the tooling is sophisticated enough now, you don’t need to know too much about the underlying mechanisms to do things that are useful. Once you get into those very fine distinction, it’s still very difficult work.
Not as evil as they make it sound. Process Execution, detailed timestamps, and network metadata capture are core features of every EDR tool (CrowdStrike, MDE, SentinelOne, etc) that exists. They can just be abused to monitor user behavior, in addition to threat hunting or malicious activity. Telemetry isn't inherently evil, but organizations need to establish privacy and usage governance around security tools to prohibit abuse.
Yeah. If I can't pay by credit card I don't assume I can just plop down cash for the most part.
I dig this. I use mdx which I like but it doesn't play well with nextjs which I don't like.

Is there a way to try this out outside of mdxish.com? How would library imports work?

I agree that all dependencies should be treated as attack surface. For that reason, systems for which dependencies can be more tightly controlled are inherently more secure than ones for which they can't. The monolithic and opaque nature of windows and other proprietary software makes them harder to minimize risk about in this way

You know, there is a textbook for Linear Algebra that's literally titled "Linear Algebra Done Right". It's pretty much what it says on the tin.

It can also be a book chapter, a month.day. Unless the comparison specifically asked for decimals, there is no single true answer.
I do not think "amateurs" is a good description about the people writing the code - most will be highly technical people with lots of experience. And "loosely coordinated" can be applied to many "corporations" as well.

I think it matters that people coding in open source do it because they care (similar to your idea but on the positive side). If you want to make something nice/working/smart you have more chances to succeed if you care than if you are just being paid to do it (or afraid that you will be embarrassed)
Nobody wants to raise taxes to spend money on mental health, unfortunately. In the US getting any sort of mental health treatment is a horrible slog.
To this day, TCL is still my go-to for internal scripting languages or, quite often, creating a simple configuration DSL (or an internal linter for configuration files).

Of course, I also do most of my scripting in TCL, so I'm a wee bit biased.
First off .. let me say I liked the video, it was a good overview and packed a lot of knowledge.

gmp contains not only the basic operations on arbitrary precision integers, it also contains a highly efficient implementation of the fibonacci sequence.

It uses a recurrence relation other than the ones mentioned, that can generate F(2k-1) and F(2k+1) quickly from F(k) and F(k-1): https://gmplib.org/manual/Fibonacci-Numbers-Algorithm

(so in a way it's similar to the repeated squaring matrix algorithm, you find your way up to the desired number in log2(n) uses of the recurrence relation)

My particular computer (AMD Ryzen 7 3700X) can compute fibonacci(21'500'000) (21 and a half million) as a 149,262,011 bit number in right around 1s. The wrapper program is not very interesting, it's literally just calling `mpz_class::fibonacci`...: https://gist.github.com/jepler/9908e9ee4a7b0becc11edbedf8b76...

(I commented out the line finding the decimal length of the resulting number, but this was not actually a very big part of the runtime and could probably still have stayed under 1s.)

On the same machine, OP's bin/field_ext.O3.out program takes a hair over 1 second to compute F(4 million) so it seems this algorithm, plus the probably better-optimized gmp, are well faster.

However, gmp gives out soon after: It only supports numbers up to (I think; it's been a while since I figured this out) CHAR_BIT * sizeof(int) * (1<<31) bits long so it literally can't find F(256 million):

gmp: overflow in mpz type

Some infrastructure is more fragile than others.

2020s UK electricity infrastructure is more reliable than 1980s UK electricity infrastructure, for example.
he doesn’t even make a million in cash, most of his comp is in stock in a company he founded but only owns 0.5% of, which is gonna hurt bad after this. Elon gets billions in stock tranches and isn’t even mentioned here (because it’s performance based, I assume).

I don't think CS type endpoint protection is appropriate for a lot of cases where it's used. However:

Consider the reasons people need this endlessly updated layer of garbage, as you put it. The constant evolution of 0-days and ransomware.

I'm a developer, and also a sysadmin. Do you think I love keeping servers up to the latest versions of every package where a security notice shows up, and then patching whatever that breaks in my code? I get paid for it, but I hate it. However, the need to do that is not a result of "late-stage capitalism" or "enshittification" providing me with convenient cover to charge customers for useless updates. It's a necessary response to constantly evolving security threats that percolate through kernels, languages, package managers, until they hit my software and I either update or risk running vulnerable code on my customers' servers.
It won’t have any effect. A nuclear war with the North is more likely than kimchi suddenly haven’t climate-change ingredient problems.

It might have something to do with quantization though, I have used the Q6_K version from https://huggingface.co/bartowski/mathstral-7B-v0.1-GGUF with Llamafile. It always shows 9.11 is bigger than 9.9.

Applies the same to job search too. Find one that is good enough and then work from there for future prospects. Often, the definition of “good” changes over time as priorities in life change.
It's not a business of a private business to provide public toilets. Local government must do it, just as they do roads, parks, buses, waste management etc.
The things do not fallback but rather propagate causing an avalanche. The only alternative to electronic payments which always boil down to some form of VISA or Mastercard card, is cash.

I asked Google Assistant to give me the prime factorization of an integer. It gave me the right answer, but it was because it happened to a webpage that had that number as an example problem.

Make your work more visible.

When your PR is ready, send a friendly note to your lead, their manager, and the PM, saying that you'd like to get it into the next release, and it's ready for a review.
You…don’t? I’m not sure I understand what you mean.
Are people too flawed, ignorant, and tribal for open societies?
"reliable reasoning" is not the same as AGI. The first can be a big calculator which solves some problems on limited domain. Like engineering, this could boost the progress. Very likely this is possible. Actually it's already happening in some areas like proteins research, not sure it can be called reasoning, though.
And then people complain about shit on the sidewalk. Not providing a toilet doesn’t mean that people are going to stop needing one.
These sort of computations generally just get fed bigger inputs as compute gets better.

Also, plenty of threadrippers exist out there already, if you get access to some cluster, it might have whatever type of chip in it. If I have access to a cluster with many 7995’s, I don’t really care too much about what’s available on the consumer side.
This is a misapplication of default reasoning: if someone were to ask you which was lesser with no additional context, then there is only one correct answer.
Typst is also a programming language for document production, however they made the decision to make the code side an actual scripting language, which makes writing custom logic much easier than in Latex.
