Quick, we need another CHIPS Act to shovel more billions into Intel.
Users should never be expected to know these gotchas for a feature called "private", documented or not. It's disappointing to see GitHub calling it a feature instead of a bug, to me it just shows a complete lack of care about security. Privacy features should _always_ have a strict, safe default.

In the meantime I'll be calling "private" repos "unlisted", seems more appropriate
lol - I tried logging into my old twitter account and the app based MFA is broken. Wouldn't even consider the current state as "up"
Agreed about Enemy of the Gates! Such an awful and misleading movie.

As for your last point, I think the tradeoffs the Soviets were forced to make were entirely different to the Western Allies, especially say the US. If the US lost the war, their soldiers got to go back home. If the USSR lost the war, about 80% of the Slavic population of Eastern Europe would have been wiped out, as per stated Nazi plans. A terrible situation surely demanded terrible resolve to overcome.
Is Sweden the country where everyone’s tax returns are public? Or is that Norway?
The quality of the American medical system has deteriorated to such a point that if the Doctors are not the grifters they may at least be culpable for enabling the grift.
Hah funny, I almost hit order on an Intel Legion 7 too.

The final decision for a combination of this and unrelated reasons was to wait 6 months and see.

But if you need a laptop now, Lenovo has Ryzen options too.
The thing is, how the tokenizing work is about as relevant to the person asking the question as name of the cat of the delivery guy who delivered the GPU that the llm runs on.

One time I walked into a dark room with like 50 test devices to get something and somehow accidentally triggered them and all 50 started talking at the same time

Was both hilarious and creepy
"A few people on twitter are saying this thing happened. We didn't actually talk to them, we didn't look at the emails and verify their authenticity ourselves, we just trusted some twitter screenshots and wrote a blogspam article stating it as truth.

We put absolutely no critical thought into whether this was a likely thing, and we completely ignored the many government and media reports that are credibly sourced which state that there are known phishing scams and other threat actors trying to capitalize on this incident.”

I highly doubt this is something that Crowdstrike actually did.

Edit: Amazingly they did, the article has been updated with a statement. Amazingly stupid all around.

You weren't kidding. It's the exact same attitude of focusing on authority rather than explaining things technically.
Real Estate Fix: Building Fewer Stairs
That's misleading.

When you read and comprehend text, you don't read it letter by letter, unless you have a severe reading disability. Your ability to comprehend text works more like an LLM.

Essentially, you can compare the human brain to a multi-model or modular system. There are layers or modules involved in most complex tasks. When reading, you recognize multiple letters at a time[], and those letters are essentially assembled into tokens that a different part of your brain can deal with.

Breaking down words into letters is essentially a separate "algorithm". Just like your brain, it's likely to never make sense for a text comprehension and generation model to operate at the level of letters - it's inefficient.

A multi-modal model with a dedicated model for handling individual letters could easily convert tokens into letters and operate on them when needed. It's just not a high priority for most use cases currently.

When the platform is the web this means you get inconsistent emojis across browsers. Also Twitter has better designed emojis than any browser vendor hands down.
Based on the number of bugs and difficulty X had doing anything in the first months after Elon come over, yes.
really? How are they different? I thought the point was the same: make sure people have enough income to survive without working. Why does the reason for them not working change how much they need to live?
I don't see how you can solve that problem without inserting bias in a different direction.
Or is + (Writing or was a typo)

User has a Name, Password, and a Role, which gives

User = Name x Password x Role

Role is Normal or Admin. Formally:

Role = Normal + Admin

Now substitute

User = Name x Password x (Normal + Admin)

Multiply out

User = (Name x Password x Normal) + (Name x Password x Admin)

I added an extra step where I named some of the components.

If you understand how this can be represented in code as an algebraic data type, you will see these two different representations have different properties when you come to program with them.

If you don't, I'm afraid this text box does not contain enough space. Chapter 2 of https://scalawithcats.com/ goes through this in much more detail.

GPT-4 degraded significantly, but you probably have some rosey glasses on. Sonnet is signifcantly better.
> For any other use you have to import your own versions and can't use Apple's.

You can use SF Symbols (https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guideline...: “You can use a symbol to convey an object or concept wherever interface icons can appear, such as in navigation bars, toolbars, tab bars, context menus, and within text”). That would not use Apple’s emojis, but wouldn’t require you to create your own versions.
Russia jails scientist Alexey Soldatov who pioneered country's internet
I don't know the details. This was just something that I was informed after I was speaking to a specialist about a separate issue at a world-class medical campus, who happened to also be studying the effects of insulin on the thing I was actually there to get examined and after some testing and calculations that are more used in research than clinicals.
There's zero cost to leaving the emoji as it is. The designer of the new version claims he's still working on it, so I don't know how you can say it's not a "focus". It's a waste of time and money for purely ideological reasons.

That's worryingly cheap, but it also feels unlikely due to all the fuss made over stopping Iranian centrifuges.

I assume that's something like the amortised cost over the lifetime of a factory dedicated to making them, rather than something which at least a few people on this forum can personally afford?
I understand the entire comment and it literally could not be about anything other than managing diabetes.
This "trust aspect" implied (or assured?) by certain TLDs, or for the non-US world by second-level domains under ccTLDs, has been, interestingly, completely missed by several countries in the early Internet days, including fairly large ones like e.g. Germany: Annoyingly, you cannot identify a federal agency or otherwise "official" website by its domain--no trailing .gov.de or the likes, it will alway be "just" ending in .de, which makes things like phishing but also deception (by implying a certain level of authority but in fact selling services from a private entity) unnecessarily easy. This is contrary to other countries' .gov.uk, .gv.at, .edu.au, etc. Although created for different reasons, I think, the Public Suffix List gives some indication of which countries enforce such namespaces (or did), see https://publicsuffix.org/list/
So what's the deal? Once the clock hits zero, will people stop complaining about global warming, since we can't do anything about it?
Sounds like you've got so much to do
Yes? Not consumers typically, but many IT departments with certain risk profiles absolutely do.
I don’t know if I would choose to use the phrase ‘woke mind virus’ myself, but it does seem highly suspicious that a bunch of tech companies, all known for their very clear political biases, decided to change the meaning and symbolism of the “PISTOL” Unicode emoji in a short time frame. To me that was indeed an act of “woke” political activism and pressure, and it seems to have spread to many companies quickly. All to suppress people from sharing their ideas in an uncensored way, which is just a ridiculous thing for operating systems and social media platforms to do. So the phrase doesn’t exactly seem wrong in its criticism?
On the failing CI, I suspect it was more a culture thing than a specific technical detail thing. Windows shops often try to purchase solutions to their own organization's failures, like the crowdstrike thing (Yeah I know some Linux machine were impacted but it was like a thousand to one).

There is a non-zero amount of technical failures, but not enough to explain the vast disparity I have witnessed and keep witnessing.

Congress and immediate family then.
I like that Amex chargeback is treated like (or is) an insurance policy on your card. So, you get successful chargebacks 100% of the time and typically within a day. They then investigate and try to claw back the refund you should have gotten or if they find that you tried to double-dip (service refunded and amex refunded) then you'll get charged again -- that will only happen if you're trying to commit fraud.

Where it shines is times where the merchants give you the run around. For instance, I put $500 down on a vehicle in a refundable deposit. When it came to cancel it, I was given the run around between dealerships and manufacturers, no one wanted to pay out. I made the effort (sent an email), and then clicked one button on the Amex website for the charge and got the money returned in a few hours.
It's far more mundane than that. Adding items to the list is a core feature, so there is plenty of engineering time getting assigned to it.

Removing items from the list is a feature that has negative return, so nobody wants to work on it.
Yeah but going the other way is political.
my problem with Figma is that it became too technical and code-like. By the time I finish setting up layouts, paddings etc...I'm catching myself thinking - why didn't I just code it straight up, could have been as fast.
The callback address is loaded and invoked here: https://github.com/illumos/illumos-gate/blob/5d9d909/usr/src... It's why door_server_dispatch copies out door_results to the server thread stack.

The aha moment was when I realized that the door_return(2) syscall is how threads yield and wait to service the next request. In retrospect it make sense, but I didn't see it until I tried to figure out how a user space thread polled for requests--a thread first calls door_bind, which associates it to the private pool, and then calls door_return with empty arguments to wait for the initial call. (See example door_bind at https://github.com/illumos/illumos-gate/blob/4a38094/usr/src... and door_return at https://github.com/illumos/illumos-gate/blob/4a38094/usr/src...)

One of the confusing aspects for me was that there's both a global pool of threads and "private" pool of threads. By default threads are pulled from the global pool to service requests, but if you specify DOOR_PRIVATE to door_create, it uses the private pool bound to the door.

AFAICT, this is conceptually a typical worker thread pooling implementation, with condition variables, etc for waking and signaling. (See door_get_server at https://github.com/illumos/illumos-gate/blob/915894e/usr/src...) Context switching does seem to be optimized so door_call doesn't need to bounce through the system scheduler. (See shuttle_resume at https://github.com/illumos/illumos-gate/blob/2d6eb4a/usr/src...) And door_call/door_return data is copied across caller and callee address spaces like you'd expect, except the door_return magic permits the kernel to copy the data to the stack, adjusting the stack pointer before resuming the thread and resetting it when it returns. (See door.S above and door_args at https://github.com/illumos/illumos-gate/blob/915894e/usr/src...)

This works just as one might expect: no real magic except for the direct thread-thread context switching. But that's a similar capability provided by user space scheduler activations in NetBSD, or the switchto proposal for Linux. The nomenclature is just different.

It's a slightly different story for in-kernel doors, but that's not surprising, either, and there's nothing surprsing there, AFAICT (but I didn't trace it as much).

Thanks for finding those source code links. I cloned the repo and started from there, grep'ing the whole tree to find the user space wrappers, etc.

Naive take. If the subject is money, London is always relevant.
Way more than delta flights were grounded. If you include all the hours lost by all those people and assign some monetary value it's probably more than that. Not only that, but all the hospitals. God forbid someone died because of it. Surprised crowd strike isn't bankrupt
Couldn't you have made the same argument against changing it in the first place?
I guess it's easier to buy X number of gift cards and allow that company to deal with the individuals rather than paying each customer $10 individually.

Also, does the IT manager get that giftcard? Do they share it with the rest of the team? Does the CTO get the card and shares it with the rest of the C-suite. What's the proper way of handling that other than reject with a harsh laugh in their face at the offer?
If Alexa could do the dishes for me that would absolutely be a killer app.
It's important to note that outside world means the actual world, not the thoughts of other humans. You need a way to establish ground truth, which comes from observing the actual outcome of actions and experiments.

ChatGPT: There are two Rs in "strawberry."
"unbiased" in LLM terms means just random token selection. You inherently need bias (otherwise called "training data") to inform the placement and weight of each token.

Furthermore, unbiased AI isn't likely to be any more usable than the garbage we have today. People care about hallucinations, model latency, token pricing and other practical improvements that can be made. Biases are one of the last things stopping people from using AI for legitimate purposes; the other issues are far too glaring to ignore.
What about synthetic data?
I really wish we would get some regulation as a result of this. I know people that almost died due to hospitals being down. It should be absolutely mandatory for users, IT departments, etc. to be able to control when and where updates happen on their infrastructure but *especially* so for critical infrastructure.
So 2025 will be the year of GNU Hurd on desktop?
The gun emoji is used to make death threats etcetera. Why do you want that on a social media platform? It's not politics, it's just decency.
Doesn't even make sense. Babies cry all the time for a multitude of reasons, none of which are informed by how many diapers are in the house.
Is it me or does that emoji look a little more like a Ruger SR9 than a Colt M1911?

I mean... it's not exactly a SR9 either, but it's definitely not a 1911 as the twitterrer implied.
>Apple will reject your app for using emojis in an unapproved way, for example as a UI element, button or reaction

I honestly don't understand why this isn't a Postgres extension. In what case is it better to have two databases?

Realistically, I can't see a scenario where you need something like this but at the same time are sure that you don't need both atomic database and financial ledger operations.
I'm the same with alcohol. But I've also seen the worst in families where one is an alcoholic, and then you start wondering if it's all worth it.

After the discussion here, I wonder if there would be some middle ground. Make it legal to buy, but very controlled and individual. That way people who want to stop might get the help they need. Or the strict control would be able to prevent excesses. It's for sure a very complex problem, with lots of different opinions.

Why do I keep seeing this at windows shops and not Linux shops? Maybe it is just selection bias, I have only had 16 contracts in the past 20 years not quite a statistical level sampling yet. But I would seriously like to explore non-selection bias reasons why this IT departments seem to fail like so often using windows and not as often or at least not as publicly otherwise.

A hundred years from now people are going to have a very... interesting time trying to figure out what meaning was intended by the use of these characters at the time a text was written.

Personally, I think putting a huge set of pictograms into the Universal Character Set was a mistake and that emojis should be deprecated immediately, and this is the #1 reason why: the meaning of a text should not normally change based on the font used to render it.

Unfortunately, putting the onus on risk adverse organizations like hospitals and governments to validate the AV changes means they just won't get pushed and will be chronically exposed.

Right now, I am tasked with building a PoC for a new product my team wants to build by the end of the quarter. We have one big problem - we have no designer on staff. But we do have a design system with a library with re-usable react components and tailwind css, and those are things I am pretty good with. So I have full autonomy when it comes to turning product requirements into a live demo. I was able to accomplish quite a lot in a short period of time with no designer and just my own taste in design + ux. And product stakeholders were pretty satisfied, which means the outcome was productive.

So from my perspective, Figma is not only an awkward middle ground, but not even necessary for me.
