Video is from 2016, so tough to say how much of that is or ever was implemented. The NYC subway is just now piloting metal detector type devices which are poles which detect "signatures" of common items and weapons. I have no idea how often these detect weapons or false positive on a laptop or lacrosse stick, and the press has not been interested in the science of it so far.
Because GitLab couldn't be bothered to be a great, reliable, focused, self-hosted code development and CI/CD solution. They had to tack on half-baked copies of every dev tool in existence.
This of course makes sense, because Patreon's incentives are the same as Apple's here: they don't want to trick you into paying more for one subscription, because they want you to be confident to subscribe to other creators on their site.
They didn't complain about SpaceX itself getting money, they complained that some of that money will go to Musk.
And yet if you disclosed these things publicly to an honest crowd, you would not be harmed but helped.

Just because some bad people do bad things doesn't necessarily mean the morally right course of action is to start using secrecy.

I am not 100% sure on this yet though. Thanks for the perspective.
It's weird that people campaign on Facebook after Cambridge Analytica. Campaigns will follow where the people go though, even if it's a terrible platform that can't handle a livestream of two people talking. I think both "sides" would agree it's less a matter of endorsement and more a symbol of desperation (or "engagement" if you want to be modest).

so you use Github? if they're the same, why not use the alternative? I just don't understand your negativity given that you don't list any negatives

That's a rather fringe belief, incompatible with widely held conventions such as the UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights (among many others).

I hold the equally fringe belief that property is theft.
Why? What makes the app itself so attractive? Do Apple users not know what Safari is, or how to type in a link?

And it should be noted most Patreon users find their way there via YouTube, which itself automatically opens links to Safari, where Patreon can be subscribed to easily.
> it doesn't matter if the data model is garbage

There is no "good enough" for data modeling. There is correct, and there is "this works, but it has latent bugs that will eventually surface." You either have referential integrity, or you don't.

This makes sense because it's arguably the same as any other payment system.

If you want to send $10 to someone using Venmo, it would be absurd for Apple to charge $3 of the $10 you are trying to send.

On the other hand, if Venmo charges a $1.50 fee for this service, it would make sense for Apple to charge 30% of that.

That was the decision of US elites decades ago. The whole matter becomes a bit clearer if you regard those elites as aristocratic and the US happened to be one of their most fertile lands.

Yeah I know that’s not what OP meant. The problem is OP is not fully thinking things through with principles.

All these “problems” with walled gardens are well known and consenting adults keep opting into it time and again.

I think it’s arrogant to look at a system you aren’t even participating in (can we assume op doesn’t have an iPhone) and say “no those people are doing it wrong”

I am not aware of any DL startups that are interested in techniques which are incompatible with GPUs and back propagation. I think this is a solo journey through the dark forest for now.
This article claims that the sequential messages of the first examples can be replaced by database operations for performance.

I would like to see someone run the experiment. Databases come with their own overheads, after all.
Huh, I haven't seen that place recommended by Google in ages. Thanks for reminding me it exists!
Yeah, it's the same way that ".com" or "online" used to be buzzwords too, that nowadays just feel kind of cheap. If most things have AI, then simply saying you have AI doesn't really mean much. Sell the solution, not the technology, etc.
Agreed, used to manage our GitHub enterprise and then lead the transition to Gitlab enterprise. Both cheaper and better, and open source.
Weighted curtains don't really help with sound dampening that much unless it's somewhat air tight. I shopped around a bit for window sound dampening products, them need to form seal around the window hole.
Crapware maybe, but I don’t see a correlation between AI and bloat. If anything, AI features are correlated with less bloated software since the AI is supposed to smooth over complexity.

And some companies are using it to deliver real value. Adobe has been killing it with AI features. I switched back to Lightroom and Photoshop specifically for the new automasking, generative AI fill and such.
Your last point about mortgages is interesting. It's probably highly dependent on the type of society you want? On one hand, why should I not be able to use my land as a financial instrument, it's my land, if I want to bet the land price will go up for whatever reason, and someone wants to offer a tool to enable that, some folks would say that should be just fine. On the other land, once a relative level of systemic sophistication has been reached, that system in that appreciated land will become inaccessible to certain groups of people. Some folks will find this unfair. (just some thought, not really opinions)
Megacorps are too powerful and have the ability to spend to get to low costs and high margins. They can also spend heavily and take losses for years in search of that efficient mature product. Then there’s all the blatantly anti competitive stuff like bundling things into existing contracts. Nothing will fix the consolidation unless we talk about this more and change the law. It’s not healthy for society to be controlled by a government and a handful of too big to fail companies.

Most engineers aren't precise with throughput vs latency.

Anyone making claims about performance should know the difference.

This isn't even about either, it's lying about overhead by not counting it correctly.

If someone asks what your cable bill is and you say it's only $2.50 a month because you have 32 TVs, no one is going to say that makes sense.
I mean sure and I believe states do have a right to choose their own electors. However, the issue is running an election and then aggregating the results with the other states. An election is a legal event and the constitution requires the states to conduct elections in a representative format, which is violated if they then defer to the electoral results of another state. On the other hand if the representatives of that state decide who the electors will vote for, that is still a representative form of government in which only the citizens of that state are represented.
It would be better if it could read files from the directory and take that as a prompt command
It is a neat tech demo but it clearly shows the limits of AI:

- I got it to generate invalid SQL resulting in errors
- it merely generates reasonable SQL, but in my case it generated to disjoint set of tables….
- In practice you have tot review all code
- It can point you into the wrong direction. Novel systems often have something smart/abstract in there. This system creates mostly
Straightforward simple systems. That’s not where the value is

All in all, it’s not worth it to me. Writing code myself is easier than having to review LLM code

Within our organization we have forbidden full LLM merge request because more often than not the code was suboptimal. And had sneaky bugs/mistakes.

I’m not saying these can’t be overcome. But not with current LLM design. They mostly generate stuff they have seen and are bad as truly new stuff.
Quite clear, in fact, which is why we are able – in theory – to have a discussion about all the distinct features at play. If it weren't clear, we wouldn't be able to go there.

I say in theory, because as demonstrated by the sibling comment, there apparently isn't much programming expertise around here. At least it was fascinating to see how a mind can go haywire when there isn't a canned response to give.
When you say managed, do you mean self hosting, or do you mean using the platforms for devops?

I can see how GitHubs self hosting story might be worse, because it’s just not designed for that, most companies don’t do it anymore, and I believe the product is deprecated.

As for doing devops from the platforms, I always found GitHub Actions better than GitLab CI, but I realise many feel the opposite.

> A pencil on it's tip is a fragile system, one burp and it falls to the table, far from the intial state. Marbles in fruit bowls are anti-fragile, given a good shake (up to a threshold) and they remain in the bowl and return to the low centre.

I believe what you're describing is a stable vs unstable system, not fragile vs antifragile.

You can perturb a bowl with a marble, and the marble will still end up in the middle because it will return to stable equilibrium point (an "attractor"). Yours is an illustration of a stable system. Whereas a marble placed in an upside down bowl (with no ridges, just a half sphere), when perturbed, will fall off. This is an unstable system. These are classic examples used in (Lyapunov) stability theory.

Fragility and antifragility aren't about stability (returning to equilibria), but gains or losses after perturbation, which is related to convexity/concavity.

When you perturb an anti-fragile (or convex) system, it doesn't return to equilibrium but in fact improves. Conversely, when you perturb a fragile system, it degrades. The analysis is usually done with Jensen's inequality rather than Lyapunov.

EDIT: not sure why the downvotes. I'm pointing out a fact. The examples do not demonstrate antifragility, but stability, which is not the same concept.
Every time GL is mentioned, I am reminded of the 2017 incident where a person 'rm -rf' the primary pg data logs. The reenactment by Kevin Fang is always a good source of comedy on a bad day.

It’s a shame they are selling out, but I suppose it was bound to happen sooner or later. GH is vacuuming up all of the market share.

I kind of liked the ability to self host my own GL. But for small/personal use cases. It was a bit overkill.
The constitution requires a representative system of government. That is met with a winner take all situation because the electors are chosen in a system that only assesses the votes of the citizens of that state (you elect a whole slate of electors rather than a single one). Another representative system of choosing electors is having state senates just pick who the electors will vote for, because that is also representative of the citizens of the state (just multiple layers of representation).

Choosing electors based on another state's vote however is not representative.
It tends to go in cycles, with phases where companies are merged into conglomerates and then phases where parts are spun off into separate companies. There are various reasons for both parts of the cycle.
Yep, interesting how that massive cut of revenue doesn’t do a thing to actually help consumers, who as a consequence are shunted with the bill anyway.
Thank you for using our product. Currently, fonts can be customized by filling in the input field. More font options will be added soon. As for the Android browser issues, we haven't thoroughly tested it yet, which may explain some of the problems you're experiencing. I'll work on addressing these issues as soon as possible.
The way around this seems to be some sort of scheme to control the box yourself. That might be anything from putting the box in some sort of “body”, through to hiding the box where no one will ever find it.

Regardless of the scheme, it all comes down to money. If you have lots of money you have lots of control about what happens to you.
Gitlab, GitHub and SourceHut are remotely comparable only if you care just about source code hosting. But Gitlab (and partially GitHub) is so much more - it grew to a beast trying to do everything for your project - project management, CI, analytics, communication... It's not for everyone, but for e.g. startups buying an all-in-one solution could be attractive to reduce the effort on getting all development tools set up and integrated.
I'd probably try a few fonts first just to see if it's an issue with rendering, or if the font itself is problematic since sometimes it's the font's fault itself when it's being used in a different environment. (font internals are a crazy rabbit hole to dive down)

Besides, if you're trying another terminal it's also a great excuse to try other things too!

I'm a fan of tools like these where you compare a series of option pairs (in this case font pairs) in succession until it spits out your most preferred option: https://www.codingfont.com/

So to be very clear:

def foo(x):

foo can modify the object y points to, but it can't make y point to a different object? Is that what "This is impossible in Python" is referring to?

Yeah we could. But just because we do, doesn’t mean it’s the right thing or the smart thing to do. Once upon a time alcohol was voted illegal and even now marijuana is federally illegal.

I personally think it’s a shame when the government takes something interesting and working and makes it illegal. Patreon could easily not be an app on iOS, but they really want that money, so now the government has to make laws on apple. Doesn’t make sense to me
> Renewables, not just solar.

But the premise was "solar is getting so cheap". Wind costs more than solar, and is still intermittent so you still need the backup.

> A simple cycle turbine power plant is maybe 1/20th the capex per W of a nuclear plant; a combined cycle plant maybe 1/10th. Combustion turbines are amazing.

That's just the capex for the plant itself. It doesn't include whatever you're using to produce and store the fuel. The capex to store a week's supply of hydrogen in particular would well exceed the capex for the plant itself. Plus the "operating costs" which largely still exist even if the plant is only operated 1% of the time. It still has to pay for full-time security and maintenance and have a full complement of staff on-call at all times in case the plant has to be brought into service.

And many of those costs go up rather than down as usage declines. Right now we have a network for the production and distribution of natural gas which gets funded by domestic use for heating and cooking and existing power plants can tie into those pipelines at minimal incremental cost. If we stop using fossil fuels for heating, now you have to justify the opex on all those pipelines just for the infrequently-used combustion power plants, or you have to build and maintain a different distribution system for the fuel.

The low cost thing to do would be to have have a production and distribution system that can replenish the week's worth of fuel over the course of three months, but now you can get a period of undersupply in November and the tanks won't be replenished until spring. Whereas if you want to be able to produce a week's supply of fuel the next week, add another billion+ dollars per GW of capacity for electrolyzers.

Even if this still costs less than a nuclear plant, this is the cost of the backup system by itself. You still have to add the cost of the renewable sources to be used the other 99% of the time. And the efficiency advantage if nuclear is used for heating via cogeneration.

Article IV, Section 4 (https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/article-4/section-4...)

> The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government,

I personally interpret that to mean that the feds will intervene should a state not provide a representative form of government.

The Supreme Court kinda agrees. It's not a common clause that's ruled on, but in 1874, they did rule on it:

https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/artIV-S4-3/AL...']

> the Court stated that the Guarantee Clause leaves room for states to structure their governments in various ways yet remain republican.

Which I take to mean that the Court will intervene should a state do something that is clearly not republican.

The pace at which AI/ML research is being published is phenomenal. I could see that some wins would be possible just by having a Sonnet or 4o level read the faster/more and combine ideas that haven't been combined before. I would just be concerned about the synthetic of its own papers being able to lead itself astray if they weren't edited by a human ML researcher? Seems like it could produce helpful stuff right now, but I would just want to not mess up our own datasets of ML "research".

The problem is monopoly. Spacefaring isn’t exactly the type of work that attracts the safe and secure job for life types. (Most folks I know at SpaceX would have chosen another career if the only option were a public job at public pay with public promotion limits.)
That is correct. The legislature can pick through whatever means it chooses. It cannot however ask the people to vote and then ignore the result because that is not a republican form of government, which the federal government is constitutionally required to guarantee to all citizens of a state.

A wrestling contest between state legislators would be a perfectly legal way to choose electoral votes. Winner of a foreign vote would not be.

In theory, you could. In reality, however, you're not going to. Maybe the EU will, but it won't happen in the US.
