The former White House staff & people in the administration had incredibly brutal things to say against Trump. Clips assembled recently by the Daily Show, https://youtu.be/ZsioMx6M3UI?si=tpMeD0O_5wUfWm-k#t=16m16s :

"Unfit for office" (Esper) "The greatest threat to democracy that we've ever seen." (Cobb) "he failed at being the president when we needed him to be the president" (mulvaney) "doesn't like to read, doesnt read briefing reports." (Tillerson) "absense of leadership, really anti-leadership" (McMaster) "wannabe dictator" (Kelly) "he shouldn't be near the oval office" (Barr) "a person who admires autocrats & murderous dictators. A person that has nothing but contempt for our democratic institutions, the Constitution, and rule of law" (Kelly) "God help us [if we's reelected]." (Kelly)

And simply, "he's an effing moron" (Tillerson).

Biden has always been a little weird with his vocal stutter, but he makes good points. He knows what's going on. He can talk to issues and hold a point. Trump's logic as he gets up on the podium & drunk uncle rambles is terrifying, both mean and vindictive when coherent but often just totally space case weirdo verbal diaherria. He's never been sharp. He's never been interested in the world, has always lived in his own head & it's only gotten worse & less & less intelligible. He's an effing moron and a mean nasty one at that. Biden is aging yes but he's a put together intelligent engaged listening person who reads his damned briefings & is engaged & interested & has ongoingly shown ability to go on talk shows & rallys & be strong, to talk intelligently to issues, to handle deep conversations well, & make sharp cases.

You don't see anything like this insult against character & intelligence against Biden. I think Biden is sharp, but even if you disagree, at least he started with a full deck of cards and some decency & respect for democracy. The other guy?

I think Bob Woodward really sums it up: "the president has the understanding of a fifth or sixth grader."
I've lived in a major US city and a smaller one in the past few years. Block Club Chicago and the local Axios newsletter are far better than anything I ever read in a newspaper. I hope they are sustainable.
I hate to say it yet I don't think she's polling well because even in 2024 I don't think America is ready to allow a woman of colour be POTUS.
I say this as someone that agrees that Biden should have stepped down earlier (for the 2nd election I mean).

But please, people, do not compare the average person in their 80's to what this man has to do daily.

Just alone entering a war room and giving an order to bomb a place, or watching the raw videos of war (which we luckily don't get access to) is something you don't come back from. This is not an average person, and he was doing OK after all.

However, he objectively got older. That's it. No coming back from that either...
Thanks, I'd missed the vertical cylinders.

Not that it would have helped me without the rest of your comment — although I've seen a vertical cylinder in a farm in Aberystwyth I'd assumed that instance was fuel, and similar elsewhere were labeled as liquified air tanks.

But chicken farms make a lot of sense.
The Occam's Razor Fallacy
These three paragraphs seem to be duplicated:

One lesson here is preventive — don’t let your friends become strangers. The more time that passes between conversations, the more they become an unfamiliar person.

This is important for a society that is growing increasingly concerned about loneliness and friendlessness. Some even suggest that we are in a “friendship recession,” with 20 percent of single men now saying they don’t have any close friends. It’s not just men, though. A 2019 survey found that 30 percent of millennials of both sexes said they are always or often lonely, and 27 percent said they have no close friends.

Gen Z doesn’t look much different and might even be in a worse position. In her 2023 book “Generations,” the psychologist Jean Twenge points out that from the 1970s into the 2000s, teenagers spent about two hours per day with friends. By 2019, this had dropped to just one hour per day. In the 1970s, more than half of 12th graders got together with their friends almost every day. By 2019, only 28 percent did.

I was wondering if I accidentally scrolled up...no, turns out the text was actually duplicated.

More likely, that the owners of any repository of note will simply broker that data directly (a la Reddit).
> You seriously think Trump is more physically fit?

Absolutely he’s more physically fit. I don’t think Biden would have survived being tackled by the Secret Service agents. That alone would have broken all kinds of bones.

And as far as stamina goes, Trump regularly gives hour plus standing speeches. Do you really think Biden could stand in the hot sun for an hour?

Here’s Biden unable to descend two (2!) stairs by himself: https://nypost.com/2024/06/28/us-news/jill-biden-helps-joe-o...

You’re seriously going to tell me that guy is more physically fit than Trump?

I'm going to just echo my sibling comment here. This seems like a management issue. If IT wouldn't help it was up to your management to intervene and say that it needs to be addressed.

Also I'm unsure I've ever seen an AV even come close to stressing a machine I would spec for dev work. Likely misconfigured for the use case but I've been there and definitely understand the other side of the coin, sometimes a beer or pizza with someone high up at IT gets you much further than barking. We all live in a society with other people.

I would also hazard a guess that the defender drive is more a matter of just making it easier for IT to do the right thing, requested by IT departments more than likely. I personally have my entire dev tree excluded from AV purely because of false positives on binaries and just unnecessary scans because the fines change content so regularly. That can be annoying to do with group policy if where that data is stored isn't mandated and then you have engineers who would be babies about "I really want my data in %USERPROFILE%/documents instead oF %USERPROFILE%/source" now IT can much easier just say that the Microsoft blessed solution is X and you need to use it.

Regarding WSL, if it's needed for you job then go for it and have you manager out in a request. However if you are only doing it to circumvent IT restrictions, well don't expect anyone to play nice.

On the person devices note. If there's company data on your device it and all it's content can be subpoenad in a court case. You really want that? Keep work and personal seperate, it really is better for all parties involved.
In my organizations any user couldn't do it, we have to manually touch every computer and enter the bit locker key. We lost in the neighborhood of 14,000 end points, every single one needs touched. My team of 10 did about 800 in 5 hours. Pulling and entering the bitlocker key was what took the longest.

> First gen Ryzen was mediocre. Second gen was where the performance came.

Are you sure? I just looked at Ryzen 5 1600 vs 2600 benchmarks and the difference is around 5%. And I also remember the hype when the first generation was released. I think Ryzen gen 1 was by far the largest step.
> 4. This was pushed out everywhere simultaneously instead of staggered to limit any potential damage.

Most importantly it was never tested at all :D
There's consent, and then there's informed consent. It's not really possible for people to have given informed consent to AI model training on their data in an era when AI had much more limited capabilities relative to what it has now. It's one thing to give consent for gmail to train on your data to develop better spam filters or profile your interests; it's another to give consent for Google to convincingly impersonate your writing style, your facial tics, and your speaking voice. I think few people on Earth in 2012 really understood that their data could ever be used in such a way, and so their consent was not informed.
ClearQuest anyone?
> You are off by several orders of magnitude

Can you cite something? This is HN, not reddit.

Do you have evidence of this? Please bring sources with you.
Sounds like bad ram (clean contacts, re-seat, and test) or temperature issues (the main reason we still use mobile i7-12700H was cheap ddr4 64GB ram stick kit, Iris media gpu drivers, and rtx CUDA gpu.)

Intel has its own issues, Gigabyte told me to pound sand when asking to unlock the bios on my own equipment to disable IME.

There is no greener grass on the fence line... just a different set of issues =3
It's already happening. Mega content aggregators will either build their own LLMs, or license for $$$$. Twitter's doing both and reddit did the latter.
“Tell HN: Stop Reading The New York Times”
There is the better, but much more complex, option of a variable-latency vrgather, where, for each DLEN-sized output segment, it counts the number of distinct DLEN-sized chunks of the table the current indices require, and spends, say, ceil(that_count/2) uops (each uop being able to take two DLEN-sized table chunks, the indices, and outputting DLEN data; could also have only one DLEN-sized table chunk input at the obvious cost; also at some point there needs to be the necessary blending, idk where that fits in; probably could just be a temporary directly in the shuffle silicon).

This would result in k*VL/DLEN uops for simple index patters such as zip/unzip/reverse/broadcast with k=1 or k=2, and worst-case (e.g. transpose) is as bad as your option 2 with N=1 or N=2, and requires just DLEN^2 connections in the main shuffle, as much of the heavy lifting is done by the already-necessary silicon for getting DLEN-sized chunks of operands (maybe there might be complications with having those not being requested sequentially though; I'm not a hardware person).
Ah Tom Baker, also a gem.

At the end of the day, it was Biden’s decision to step down.
I’m not sure sure if that’s what they meant, but generally, CPUs will throttle or shut down if they detect overtemp, hopefully before they start encountering errors which lead to wrong calculation results/crashes.
From the transcript: the system did trigger and the system did send the signal and the air cylinder did activate but in the split second while all this was going on the area between the two was compromised so now the levers are so much closer than when the cylinder activated... it didn't pull far enough to get the parachute wires to come out of the pack.

So it seems that a structural failure or deformation of the vehicle rendered the release mechanism ineffective (had it collided with something at this point?) This seems to imply that the cable was not in a sheath, and I suppose there are arguments either way as to whether sheathed or unsheathed cables (or rigid rods) are the best way to go.
You can get something with N100 processor.
It is good that you are rooting for the poor industry because they are "being screwed".

Sad that you didn't consider the content creators, people who's faces, voices, writings, art, personal information, etc. are being used without consent and without any compensation as the ones "being screwed" here.
>AMD FX is a series of high-end AMD microprocessors for personal computers which debuted in 2011

Ha, well that's wrong. This is the first time I find a mistake or more accurately, a contradiction in Wikipedia.

AMD's first FX CPU (the FX-51) came out in 2003 as a premium Athlon 64 that was an expensive power hungry beast, which is the one I assume the GP was talking about. Here, also from Wikipedia:

"The Athlon 64 FX is positioned as a hardware enthusiast product, marketed by AMD especially toward gamers. Unlike the standard Athlon 64, all of the Athlon 64 FX processors have their multipliers completely unlocked."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Athlon_64#Athlon_64_FX
I run some software on a raspberry pi at home. This pattern works very well for me:

- services exposed via caddy(configured to use my domain on cloudflare for SSL)

- my lan dns resolver(adgaurd home) is configured to rewrite these domains to local IP. Specifically, the rewrite rule looks like `homeassistant.mydomain.com -> rpi.lan`

- Cloudflare tunnel on the rpi for services I want to access outside. I've it configured to require Google auth via cloudflare zero trust(free)

The neat part of this setup is that when I access a service when I'm at home, it works as expected completely locally including https.

If I try to access the service through the public internet, it will still work on the exact same domain and also have proper auth through cloudflare. This way I can access anything on the internet from my home server without worrying about security.

Cloudflare tunnel also offers some other cool things like ssh on your browser(which again uses the previously mentioned Google auth) if you need it.

I doubt that this theory has not been put to the test, repeatedly.
Trying to recreate a "human brain" is an absolutely terrible idea - and is not something we should even attempt. The consequences of success are terrible.

They're not really trying to create a human brain, so far as I can tell. They're trying to create an oracle, by feeding it all existing human utterances. This is certainly not going to succeed, since the truth is not measurable post-facto from these utterances.

The claim regarding reconstructing functions from samples of its ins and outs is false. It's false both mathematically, where "finite complexity" doesn't really even have a rigorous definition - and metaphorically too.

Maps are never the territory.
so why you bring that up on a thread that had nothing to with layout? I'm honestly confused
4 Years Developing an API
Thanks. I hand wrote the code, often using naive approaches so it’s hopefully simple to understand. The only dependencies currently are CodeMirror and ProseMirror. I only used LLMs explain a few things to me in the process. I have also tried running code generated with an LLM in it. I am interested in and learning LLMs though, and one of the goals for it is to “AI and Web3 all the things \o/”. https://codeberg.org/macchiato/ristretto/issues/2 Perhaps LLM generated code will be included but I’ll want to mark it as such. The container with the iframe sandbox and CSP allowing following links only with a warning could be good for directly running untrusted code coming from an LLM on private data.

Edit: oh, that’s right, the colors in colors.json are from an LLM. https://fosstodon.org/@bat/111423328778967733
You can also do this yourself with a domain you own and control. I have done it as well when I wanted SSL on my local LAN. My lan is also assigned a real domain so applying a cert is easy to any of my machines.
> I think few people on Earth in 2012 really understood that their data could ever be used in such a way, and so their consent was not informed.

I think we've been able to see this coming for many, many years.
Genuine question: is the European right actually on the rise? It seems somewhat localized to France, where Macron just unexpectedly outmaneuvered both Le Pen's party and the left coalition that formed to counter Le Pen, securing himself a surprise victory in the snap election everyone thought would be a disaster for him. In the EU as a whole, Ursula von der Leyen just won another 5 years as the President of the European Commission, which seems like a continuation of the status quo in the EU rather than a turn toward the right.

This is all from my naive perspective as an American.

Edit: I'd appreciate a reply instead of a downvote. As I said, I'm asking a genuine question.

Thanks!

I haven't really looked at alternative carvers (but I am aware that many great options exist). I didn't know unblob yet. Thanks for the suggestion!

Looking at the code, they use the same methodology as I describe in the post [0]. They do, however, also check for the end of the last segment, which is interesting.

Yes, though this scenario isn't all that interesting to discuss:

* In the case of big IP holders (e.g. media companies, news organizations) this is just obtaining consent. The only fun quirck is that OpenAI's purchasing of this drastically lowers the "AI training is fair use" claim by proving the existance of a market.

* In the case of platforms like Reddit, it just kicks the problem one layer down. The platform does obtain "consent" through it's ToS. (Beware that this consent is legally weak, and won't protect your ass from anything outside copyright) But users will still see it as "stealing" and may flee the platform.

There's still a notable shift away from the clearnet.

> It’s unwise to discard these investments or be reluctant to recover them, especially when the cost is a simple message and conversation every now and then.

Hilariously out of touch quote in article that is on a surface level so thoroughly researched. There is nothing simple about "message and conversation every now and then"

The author touches on this themselves:

How does the PyPy JIT compare to the JIT in the upcoming CPython 3.13?
Long ago, VMWare workstation supported doing this, but not just for userspace programs but also for kernels and even drivers, in a VM. The feature shipped and existed for a few versions before it was killed by internal politics.
I have not! Thanks for the recommendation - I'll put that on my reading list.
The amount of military power that is used to support that gdp is much larger though. As long as oil is traded in dollars, the us will not have anormal economy.
FastDoom – Performance Gains on Slow 386 and 486 CPUs
Your original comment was belittling towards the people of West Virginia, which is still a member of the Union as far as I’m aware.

The latter half of my comment was obviously more salient in regard to national politics. Not sure why you ignored that.
Yeah that would be the Delta, but it's significantly slower (~6 times at multicore). The N100 is just a 9th gen Celeron after all. I'm more or less looking for a complete powerhouse in a smaller than ITX form factor for extremely compute intensive multithreaded stuff.
Perhaps contrary to most people in this thread, I think you should avoid learning lenses or category theory too early. These are great tools, but they take months or even years to master and are not required to write useful code in the language.

I find Haskell very useful for my projects, but to achieve this I restrict myself to the basic subset of the language (Haskell 2010, no fancy extensions such as type families or GADTs) and use few libraries aside from the core libraries. New features and libraries always carry a high learning curve in Haskell and less popular libraries can be buggy. Instead, you will often be more productive just writing the required functionality from scratch (and it will teach you more too!).

At Jane Street, I saw my coworkers learn functional programming in just one week. (some still struggled with monads in the second week -- if that is you, I can recommend Phil's paper: https://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/wadler/papers/marktoberdorf/b...). If you are learning Haskell in your free time and with no one experienced to help, it will obviously take you longer. If you have questions, feel free to post on the Haskell IRC or Reddit. Just don't worry that you need to read another tutorial before getting started :)

The N100 is great, hopefully not affected by this problem though I'm not sure yet. It sips power and I've really liked it for homelab use where memory and IO are more important than core count (because most of the times things are idle, but one wants to keep VMs in memory and oversub the cores).

I can't imagine this will remain up long. Rarely does a political post get left in place.

On one hand it's nice being able to visit a place online and not get force fed politics and all of the propaganda and astroturfing that comes along with it, on the other there's times where something is so important I wish they'd stay available for discussion, see what other people here have to say about it.
The article title does not end in a question mark. The guidelines say not to editorialize titles - and adding a question mark surely counts as editorializing?

Thanks. I understand that '.sys' is a naming convention. I'd guess that they used it because those config/data files are used by their kernel driver, and so makes kernel vs user-space files easier to distinguish.

> I think the worst possible outcome is a licensing regime that means that Disney or Paramount or Elsevier or whoever all get to have a monopoly on training large models within their niche.

Why is this the worst possible outcome? Companies using AI would be training with properties they own or have licensed appropriately, rather than the existing scheme of ignoring copyright law to extract $$$ from the creative works of ordinary people.
