I find this false choice of extremes mindbogglingly strange & blinkered but not unsurprising coming from American culture. From the article:

> they are identified; arrested; committed to a hospital with a psych ward; put on antipsychotics; allowed to stabilize; and released, at which point the entire cycle begins again.

For the author the answer is to never release them, which for the numbers of people involved is a horrifying idea. Incarcerating large numbers of people because statistically a few of them might cause problems for others is not what a free & fair society should aim for.

There are other options, which is to add steps beyond release. Provide sheltered housing & levels of care for these people so that they can try to build meaningful lives in society. It will fail for some and for many it will be long term, but the costs are much less. My wife has worked in mental health in a couple of European countries at several of these levels of care and it's not perfect but it works for enough people that lives are changed and costs to society are reduced. This is also the case for drug abusers, providing the means for those that want to escape the vicious cycle to do so.

In short, other ways are possible, if the culture can be flexible enough to try them.

Tech Explainer: Brain–Computer Interfaces and Neural Prosthetics
This is an article referencing a clickbait article. Move along.
Telecoms solved this problem fifteen years ago when they started automating Fault Management (google it).

Granted, neural networks were not generally applicable to this problem at the time, but this whole idea seems like the same problem being solved again.

Telecoms and IT used to supervise their networks using Alarms, in either a Network Management System (NMS) or something more ad-hoc like Nagios. There, you got structured alarms over a network, like SNMP traps, that got stored as records in a database. It’s fairly easy to program filters using simple counting or more complex heuristics against a database.

Now, for some reason, alerting has shifted to Slack. Naturally since the data is now unstructured text, the solution involves an LLM! You build complexity into the filtering solution because you have an alarm infrastructure that’s too simple.
That doesn't make any sense.

The OS loads file A into the kernel. It crashes. It reboots. It decides not to load file A this time.

Wow, it's a rollback of kernel-space code.

Unless your argument is that you can't guarantee a rollback of every possible kernel driver, because it might have installed a rootkit while it had full control? Okay, cool, but this isn't a malware removal idea. It's an idea for normal drivers.
it's like free CDN, they track users by referrer/ip and usually cookies(many people are signed to fb and google). which allows them to track your movement across the web. with gifs, they can additionally track mood/topics based on how the images are tagged and whether you are posting them or viewing them. they can create a psychological profile based on which images you are seeing since you'll most likely frequent the same places with specific topics. you don't need to be rocket scientist to figure it out. when something is free, you are ALWAYS the product.

Procgen (and I mean roguelike style procgen, not Elite/Frontier single fixed seed generation) AND graphics like these were pretty rare back then, best to my knowledge. There's a number of classic games that Roguecraft draws on visually, notably HeroQuest, but also, as you say, Cadaver, Shadowlands, and some others. There were also a good few near-roguelike games (DarkSpyre springs to mind...), and of course ports of the major RLs (ADOM, Moria, bands, hacks, etc.), but I think RogueCraft is the only game to hit this balance between high (for the system) visuals and roguelike gameplay.
It's possible the unit economics might not be that bad. It's just that they're paying people a lot. Every one of FAANG were criticized for burning money, now they're some of the most profitable companies in the world, first mover or not. AI is a little weird in that OpenAI just vastly accelerated competitors.
> Traveling by car in Italy is now expensive for residents, and the alternative roads are slow and dangerous.

This is quite the generalisation. Slow? Yes for obvious reasons. The speed limit is a lot lower compared to highways. Dangerous? That's silly. Not sure why driving 70kmh on a country road is more dangerous than going 130kmh on a highway.

It all depends where you're going. Some roads are plain bad, others are excellent.

Nice!!

If you're looking for alternatives, here's something we've built (hope I'm not hijacking this): https://github.com/audiotool/pasta

It's called "pasta" for copy pasta. It was built with exactly the same motivation aa yours, also has a yaml config file, and is also implemented in go, kinda interesting. If yours takes off and we can drop ours, that'd be awesome!

For some feedback in features we have which we thinkg we'd be missing:

- we have the ability to copy individual files and specific subdirectories of other repos, not the entire repos

- mechanics to "clear" the target directory, in case a file gets deleted upstream, to keep the directories in sync

- we've modelled it with a plugin API, so you can implement new "copiers" for bitbucket, google drive, subversion, ...

- the github plugin we have uses the Github API for better performance, and you can add auth by setting an env var GITHUB_TOKEN

We also create a "result" file of every copy, noting the exact commit that was copied, which might or might not be a useful... Were thinking of posting it here at some point but never got around to it. Again, if yours takes off, that'd be the best option :)

We're using it mostly to copy .proto definitions from one repo to another.

Microsoft assigns driver levels to these guys etc. and allows them to load kernel mode components as protected etc.. If they do not allow that - CS cannot cause such damages. ofcourse, as you pointed out, this will then turn into some lawsuit blaming MS for killing competitors, even if they do it to try and protect their customers.

> We filtered out PISA Search and Manticore because neither of them offers search-as-you-type and facet search features

Manticore does support facet search and it's quite powerful in Manticore:

- interactive course - https://play.manticoresearch.com/faceting/

Search-as-you-type depends more on the client, not on the backend. However, Manticore provides the autocomplete and fuzzy features (both in beta stage though). More info here https://github.com/manticoresoftware/manticoresearch/issues/...
In the analogy, it seems Microsoft is a car manufacturer. The hotel is the company that bought software from CrowdStrike. The problem is that Microsoft should not control who has access to which APIs, that is a huge can of worms, and actually called anticompetitive by the EU from what I understand. At MS level, either they publish APIs or not. If published, anyone should be able to write software for them. This is especially bad if MS themselves also sell security software that uses the same APIs. It would literally mean MS deciding who is allowed to compete with their security software.
What reason do you have to believe that your own conclusion will be better?

The causal set folks are already outsiders that go against the broad consensus of HEP-Th. I grew up scientifically in an environment that was actively challenging mainstream consensus. Sometimes correctly (e.g. low energy susy), sometimes not. If those folk can't find something redeeming in what you do you should stop and listen.

Also, yes scientific consensus at the cutting edge changes over time. That's the nature of science. But I challenge you to find a single example where the consensus was "there is nothing of substance here" and it turned out to be wrong. Not all forms of challenging consensus are equivalent.

At the end of the day though, this is HEP. Itt doesn't matter. Worst that can happen is that you waste your time learning some neat math.

The code is not security hardened yet. seed attacks are not yet accustomed for. But it's no disaster, as it's trivial to prevent. They say seeds are secure, so no chance to attack it. Which is a bit childish.

It would just be a disaster if they follow Miller's networking code, which uses slower hashes to prevent seed attacks. But every other popular language/library does the very same wrong thing.

Well, it's a very standardized platform that is readily available and guaranteed to be available for some time.

This is why some hardware projects reply on it and the intricacies of its GPIO timing.

I agree that if you want a small computer to run your home NAS on, then sure, there might be better alternatives.

But if you want to (say) plug one into your old Amiga (with a PiStorm) so that it emulates the CPU's bus timings and runs as an incredibly fast M68000 CPU, there's no way around the RPi (unless you want to do a lot of hardware development yourself... if that's even possible since on most of these Chinesium clones, the GPIO is hidden behind a ton of bridges, busses and/or MCUs which would kill the latency in those tightly constrained use-cases)

I assume nobody would bother porting the hardware-related code to the "Chinesium Clone of the Week" every few months

Western Music theory is an attempt to formalize certain things about music. But it's better with proper context. Like, say, a song is not about the music theory you put in it. A good song starts with a good story--and that's another craft altogether--which you make into good lyrics. Good Lyrics combine story, language quirks and phonetics. The lyrics are a heavy ingredient that needs spacing and intonation which are good-sounding and practical to a human singer, and that needs to mesh with melody and rhythm. Then comes harmony and the doses of emotion you can put into it, and that's what this article is about.

You can certainly code lots of ingredients. For example, you can use embeddings to find better rhymes faster when composing a lyrics, or even LLM help to check if your lyrics make sense (If ChatGPT can guess what your lyrics are about, a human may be able too). You can use a host of computer utilities to find harmonies, and even use voice synthesizers to sketch the singing. But at the end, what makes a piece of music interesting is how well it meshes with its listener...you can model that with statistics, if you are pedantic enough, but at that point the maws of hell open and suck your soul out.

I think there are lots of solutions if you allow a JavaScript dependency. In the article, the author demonstrates dynamic 'styling' by just swapping out an image - just like we used to do it back in the 20th century! You could fix the caching problem by dumping your SVG contents into localStorage.
A "loooong history" needs to have a timespan of many years.

So yes it would start in the past, but it then has to continue for a long time.

Pointing out that a company was bad 20 years ago isn't enough. You need to show they were also bad 15 years ago, and 10 years ago, and 5 and/or 25 years ago.

So complaining that the only evidence was so far in the past is valid. The original goalposts were not reached. (Well, someone in another part of the thread eventually listed every google result for a windows update making anything crash, but that doesn't really establish that microsoft is "botching" updates at a level significantly above background noise, which I think was the original intent.)
That is the problem: you feel.

Before Microsoft comes into the picture the issues is crowdstrike pushing updates without proper testing, selling a product on which customers cannot control the update schedule, and customers for being so naives and not checking what the product they install on critical stuff do.
I don't buy that, making it a personal responsibility problem was an implemented strategy by those responsible to avoid having to pay the price of doing anything about it.

We literally have no choice but to make small insignificant changes that does not harm the bottom line of those responsible too much.
I have seen people be unfair when hangry. And expecting judges to be fundamentally different people then rest of us is irrational. That job attracts people who like to have power. That is about what is special about them.
> enabling bad cultural practices

I strongly disagree. There is nothing culturally bad in a system issuing an error if there is an error. Sometimes systems issue errors that are considered noise by supporters because they are not actionable, but forcing a system to not issue an error just because your support team cannot directly take action on it is an extremely odd leakage of team responsibilities and bound to have unintended consequences. Imagine a developer telling management that they didn’t implement error checking on some edge case because the support team told them they didn’t have documentation about how to take action for instance. The appropriate response there would be “why on earth are you asking support permission to add error messages for a known error?”. On the other hand, if a support team is drowning in noisy error messages they need tooling to make it easy to distinguish between those and other messages that need to be reviewed of have action taken.

Yes, some people are woefully naive and think any kind of immigration is a net gain

Never assume malice where incompetence will suffice. I have worked on teams where we could not get the basics like a test or integration environments signed off for months yet the managers expected us to go to production. Suffice to say production was also not signed off for half a yer and we had to improvise. I wonder is something similar was at play at CS?
A period of time where Microsoft has no mishaps, of course.
Necessarily, as this is the kind of API (a file system with a well-defined structure) that the kernel exposes for querying/providing that kind of information :)
Marriage Equality and the Transnational Flow of Skilled Labor
Opinion time! Planetary Annihilation was close to being a good game but was held back by its ambition to be a novel engine. The one that got my nerves on edge was they have a zoom mechanic where the strategic map was a weird shape - there were multiple worlds and each world was spherical rather than a 2d grid. It did terrible things to the gameplay because suddenly orienting the map was a challenge. It was really well implemented and impressive visually; but unfortunately it made it remarkably easy to get lost. It was a great case study for why so many wargames go with the unimaginative "rectangular table" setup.

Things like that coloured my view of PA. They have an interesting engine but the consensus back when it was released seemed to be that they didn't manage an engaging game. I got the impression the engine was consuming too much of their attention.
I've have great experiences with https://github.com/ingydotnet/git-subrepo
It's more than that. For intra-city transit, anti-transit people generally demand that public transit pay for itself, while still demanding all the roads (inside the city) be free. Of course, there's a big question about practicality when it comes to putting tolls on all the small roads and streets in a city, but these same people are the ones who oppose "congestion charges" like that implemented in London, which effectively imposes a toll for using any of the roads inside a certain area.
To give a more charitable take, in practice it's easy for noisy alerts to creep in and a tool like this could be a good nudge to dig a bit deeper on that alert and why it's gone from useful to noise.
I can still ask myself if I feel I need a different license! ;-)
Or just use any modern DOM-manipulating JavaScript framework like React - in effect putting an `<svg>` tag in very cacheable JavaScript. <div style={...}><p className="...">...</p><svg viewBox="..."><g fill="...">...</g></svg></div>, whichever.

It's a first class citizen, put it in a React Component, anything goes. Cacheable, stylable, and dimensional.
Remember when we had better things to worry about than privacy on the internet? Before email addresses were required for everything from government accounts to signing up for that new community forum that you want to post on? I do! And that's exactly why I decided to build NotMyRealEmail, an affordable solution to never having to give out your real email address again.

Imagine a way to keep a single email address organized, protected from unwanted exposure, and above all, easily detect when a service you use has leaked or sold your email address to the highest bidder. Where you have control over who knows your real address, and can control the flow and classification of emails at the click of the mouse.

Good news everyone! We're building those capabilities right now!

NotMyRealEmail is a privacy-focused, email aliasing service that aims to bring a slice of calm, comfort, and organization to this newly connected digital landscape.

Harness the power of email aliases today and protect yourself from spam, scams, and unnecessary exposure.

I think what you are referring to is the concept of “finetuning”. You use a pretrained network and add a (relatively) small set of new input-output pairs to steer it in a new direction.

It's widely used, you can look it up.

A more challenging idea is whether it is possible to reuse the pretrained weights when training a network with a different architecture (maybe a bigger transformer with more heads, or something).

AFAIK this is not common practice, if you change the architecture you have to retrain from scratch. But given the cost of these trainings, I wouldn't be surprised if OpenAI&co had developed some technique to do this, eg across GPT versions..
Negative Space Programming: it's not bad, it's just misunderstood
Another option would be to including SVG files from SVG elements, though the whole thing is a bit cursed. I'm not 100% sure how it plays with CSS and caching

Example: svg poster - includes svg diagrams - that include svg maps (maps are generated programmatically)

https://kxygk.github.io/imergination/

Though.. if you open the SVG itself (in a separate window/tab) most elements refuse to display for "security"

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/kxygk/imergination/ag...

It's honestly an unreliable format for anything that's mildly complex.. this poster will render differently in different browsers (and inkscape) and can't be turned into a PDF consistently. It's a mess
> I've got a note at the bottom of the README that I'm considering adding a config field to keep the .git directory, but I'm trying to keep pretty far away from git-in-git consequences/use cases.

Maybe a better approach would be to rename the `.git/` to (for example) `.vdm` in each submodule? Each `vdm` command would first rename it back to `.git`, execute the git commands needed, and then rename it back to `.vdm/`.

This gives you the ability to implement `vdm history` or similar command while still keeping the submodule invisible to the parent?
