In order for this to be even remotely doable, you need explicit and transparent data flows between devices and applications which is currently a no starter for tech companies and app developers.

Apple letting you out of the walled garden? Forget about it. Google letting anyone else use their data? How about 3 more soon-to-be-killed products instead of a proper API.

Not to mention you need a rewrite of the DMCA in order to complete this.
I'd argue physical channels and access are even less secure. People are broken easily (you can't trust anyone) and surveillance is everywhere and more sophisticated than you imagine. My first job was at a US-based video surveillance company owned by Israelis and used by casinos, stadiums, and entire cities. I have an idea of what it's capable of :)

What we need is a truly secure and private method of communication and payment. We're close on both.
If they get permission and don't mind waiting, they could check if people throw away the generated code or keep it as-is.

Concur, I discovered UMAP when looking for a way to dimension reduce and visualize embeddings, and it also works on non-embedded data too. Interesting idea to think about it applied to arguments in a debate... especially in conjunction with the work around using LLMs to infer knowledge graphs

https://umap-learn.readthedocs.io/en/latest/basic_usage.html

> Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection (UMAP) is a dimension reduction technique that can be used for visualisation similarly to t-SNE, but also for general non-linear dimension reduction. The algorithm is founded on three assumptions about the data

1. The data is uniformly distributed on Riemannian manifold;

2. The Riemannian metric is locally constant (or can be approximated as such);

3. The manifold is locally connected.
IMO the PyTorch getting started tutorials are really good (https://pytorch.org/tutorials/beginner/basics/intro.html).

A classifier for handwritten digits in the MNIST dataset is generally considered the "Hello World" of neural networks. I went over it in a course, but there are countless tutorials to be found online, i.e. https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/introductio...

Once you begin to understand how to handle data and how to define layers, you can start playing around with whatever your heart desires. The rabbit hole is vast and endless :)
You’re way more likely to stop making any new memories.
It was a fantastic idea! We had the prototype software and it worked great.

Take your old phone, put Docker on it, and do anything!

Phones, even very old phones, are incredibly capable devices: cameras, antennas, accelerometers, large touchscreen. They just need a new purpose.
Thanks for your answer. Rising up one more time than when one falls is needed for success indeed.

So from what I'm understanding, we should never just have one product. What about focusing on one product but then continuously developing it with new features and use cases?
> why were you trying to hand allocations over to malloc()?

So that they could be released with free(). For historical reasons, on Linux, most libraries don't generally provide foo_free() functions to be used for freeing objects returned from those libraries, everyone is supposed to use free(), under the tacit assumption that there is only one version of libc loaded in the process which everyone will use. The Windows world has somewhat better culture in this regard.

> Why not entirely replace malloc() for the process?

Now that's just rude.
> So are rules for the game of go or chess ?

The rules are well defined and you can easily write a program that will tell whether a move is valid or not, or whether a game has been won or not. This allows you generate virtually infinite amount of data to train the model on without human intervention.

> Specifying code that satisfies (or doesn't satisfy) is a problem statement

This would be true if you fix one specific program (just like in Go or Chess you fix the specific rules of the game and then train a model on those) and want to know whether that specific program satisfies some given specification (which will be the input of your model). But if instead you want the model to work with any program then that will have to become part of the input too and you'll have to train it an a number of programs which will have to be provided somehow.

> and figuring out how to build a problem dataset from existing codebases would be the hard part

It wants to act on GitHub on my behalf. Not clear why I should allow it to do that, especially when the only info about this app that is presented is that it will store my data on GCP.

Respectfully disagree - their peers often make an unhealthy environment on the internet. Kids need in-person communication and interactions, its necessary for healthy development. The internet looks like it provides social interaction, but it actually does not provide what kids need. They should interact with their peers elsewhere, synchronously.
Additionally, Playwright has some nice ergonomics in the API, though Puppeteer has since implemented a lot of it as well. Downloads and video capturing in Playwright is nicer.
I worked on a prototype to add kernel-mediated segmentation to linux. its easy to associate a segment map to a thread, and manage maps in virtual addresses and provide a call gate which is a registered procedure that can change a map.

You can see this in their results, where certain types of studies have a lower prediction rate and higher variability
No it really isn't. Are you really doubling down on this by talking about software that has built in latency?

Any game that runs at half the frame rate of a cheap TV and has an architecture designed to not draw frames immediately has nothing to do with what you're saying. That would be like someone deciding to send packets every 100ms and claiming 100ms extra latency.

All of this is forgetting that packets can be fired off whenever but with vsync on, frames need to wait for a specific timing. If you take that away you can set pixels with less latency.
The quality of my life has not improved over the course of my adulthood. It was for a while then stalled and now I'm seeing reductions. Like for instance, it used to be that I could go out with dinner at restaurant now and again without having to think about the cost and its impact on my monthly budget. Now I have to ration that kind of activity. I was considering moving to a larger house, but that's fiscally impossible now. I used to take actual vacations on a plane to places - also now off the table. This may seem like whining because I have a place to live and can buy groceries and pay bills. But that's it. I am seeing objective losses in my options because my income is well below inflation (both real and reported). My personal quality of life is decreasing. That is the metric I'm using.

I think you're underestimating the power of defaults. Most people are just going to use whatever default the system/browser uses and not bother changing, most won't even know how to do it.
It is frustrating because while it is better, it is still flawed in an easily fixed way.

What I wish the standard library had:

ssize_t strscpy(char* dst, const char* src, ssize_t dsize);

Copies src into dst, stopping when it either reaches a \0 byte in src or on copying dsize - 1 bytes, whichever happens first. dst is then null terminated.

If the copy is not truncated the strscpy returns the number of bytes copied. If the copy is truncated dsize is returned.

Returns a negative value and sets errno if either dst or src is NULL or dsize is < 1.

> Falling fertility makes this even more likely.

Falling fertility makes us extinct very soon. The idea that the youngest generation, raised by many generations to be dismissive or even outright hostile to fertility will, by some miracle, be the ones who say "no, I will have 2.1 children" is silly. And because it's falling fertility and not just "stable but below replacement fertility", demographic collapse comes quickly. and extinction within 200 years.

If you're worried about immortality, then the good news is we don't even have enough time to figure it out.

The C# compiler has very little knowledge of `[FieldOffset]`. It's expected that developers understand the runtime implications of this.

The Bally Astrocade was a 1970's home game console that had 4K of RAM, and the video chip used about 4000 of that 4096 bytes to render a 2bpp display.

According to the Wikipedia article, it had BASIC on a cartridge, and that cartridge I guess had to do the following to be useable at all: set something like the 01 and 11 bit pairs to the same color, and then store program data in spread-out bits among the video data portion of the RAM. Really weird. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bally_Astrocade
The "good" ones I know of tend to be smaller deals where the PE firm is pursuing a buy-and-hold approach in a sector where it has some knowledge and advantage. For example, Summa Equity bought Norsk Gjenvinning in Norway (a recycling company), refocused it on circular economy practices, and by most metrics it seems to be doing well for everyone. The Keiretsu companies an Japan are another example of the process working fairly well.

On the flip side, the high-profile "pump and dump" PE deals almost always seem to be bad for everyone but the PE firm and shareholders.
> testing infrastructure for video conferencing software

There's lots of companies out there that aren't Meta/Alphabet/etc. that also do things like video conferencing software if that's your jam. Smaller companies like BigBlueButton, Whereby, and ClickMeeting; more mid-sized ones like and Zoho Meeting, and the larger players like Webex and GoToMeeting and what not. And this isn't an exhaustive list of non-FAANG video conferencing systems.

Its not like the only "tech" (software?) jobs out there are small mom and pop e-commerce sites or FAANG companies.

Probably would cost Corning even more than ordinary glass that they are prospering well enough from now.

At the same time the old European factories can make specialty glasses cheap enough for schools and pubs.

What if some person like Einstein invented glass to begin with, it would not take that much insight to conclude that the "weak point" was how easily it can be broken. If they really started working on that problem from the very beginning you would expect more progress the more centuries that it was continued.

OTOH what if inventing glass was not the result of very much of an intellectual exercise, anybody can still see the disadvantages when it come to breakage. But they might not start to do anything about it until centuries later. Who knows?

What if just barely making glass was (almost) like a lost art where it took a few centuries for someone like Einstein to come along and take an interest in a way that could add more scientific process, even if still illiterate.

Or maybe even more likely, an intermittent series of lesser Einsteins make their contributions to a geographical technical center of excellence which did originally arise from a gifted or fortunate individual at the beginning. Maintaining the status quo (as an art center producing recognized "masterpieces") over generations until the next amazing experimentalist gains a position influential enough to make a contribution so worthwhile it lasts more centuries into the future.

Pretty amazing when you think about it, they didn't even have half the chemical elements there are today ;)

I want to live forever. That doesn't mean I want to remain static and unchanging or to stagnate. I want death through change, not because my mind collapses due to biological causes. If I ever stagnate, that's a form of death, and I bet sooner or later I'll choose to check out, or become irrelevant enough for society and my peers to check me out, directly or indirectly, through social exclusion.

I strongly resent those who try to tell me what's best for me or predict what will happen if I live a long time. If you think death within 40-90 years is best for you, choose that path, stop trying to validate your life philosophy by imposing it on others and leave the rest of us alone to develop technology and strive for something more than what we are today.

WTF? Unless you're building "mine is taller than yours" luxury spires for the uber-rich, the structural and economic inefficiencies of ultra-tall buildings are ridiculous. Use a bigger weight and far-shorter building. Or maybe better - a vertical shift dug in hard rock, some place where the low water table makes that cheap.
The design is not going to allow for struct layout to have memory safety issues when tearing is involved. That is a problem we are very well aware of and consider in designs.

There is no timeframe right now. At the moment this is a loose proposal for how to approach union like features in C#.

That's a good point. A model that is capable of implementing a nonsense test is still better than a model that can't. The implementer model only needs a good variety of tests. They don't actually have to translate a prompt into a test.

Shooting 5.56 is very easy and placing the rifle at the front allows the back legs to withstand any recoil. A fast processor would allow the gun to fire even before the gun gimbal has come to a stop which would make follow up shots happen very fast. Knowing the orientation of the bot and gun could allow it to compensate for recoil, keeping the drone in the crosshairs for an immediate follow up shot.
That's surprisingly low considering it was probably trained on many of the papers it's supposed to be replicating.
