"Our AI Tutors engage with our models across a variety of tasks that reflect real-world interactions with Grok. During each interaction, the AI Tutors are presented with two responses generated by Grok"

My guess is that they're using one of the third party AI training outfits for this and that they are paying through the nose.

This looks exactly like a training task I got to see on one of those platforms.
Copyright covers four rights. The right to copy, the right to modify, the right to distribute, and the right to perform publicly.

The GPL places restrictions on a combination of the modification and distribution aspect, which says that if you modify the software and distribute it, then you must also include source code.

AGPL is more strict and says even if you just want to modify it and use it, you must supply the source code to the people who are using it. The important point here is that this is not triggering on use of the software (as EULA implies). It is only triggered after modification. And modification is something that is covered by copyright.
> It feels like these legitimate challenges to businesses to manage their customer service lines, support lines, etc.

Wrong. These are not challenges. The customer service lines work exactly as designed: as cheap as possible to operate, as effective as possible in preventing majority of the callers from engaging support staff and starting any kind of support process. And the magic, most people who try and fail to get support believe it's their own fault - they're not being patient enough, or persistent enough, or maybe the problem isn't that big a deal, etc.

The companies don't want you to work around the phone tree and hold time. And once most people have tools that are able to, the companies will adjust their support channels to compensate.

For _APIs_ I prefer to use both - the only downside is that resource names need to be restricted to _not_ include trailing `.{EXT}`s (either at all or limiting EXT to things that aren't valid content types).

E. g. `/books` - looks at the `Accept` header. `/books.json` - sets the `Accept` header to `application/json`. `/books.xml` - `application/xml`, and so on.
Yeah, so nice to just have it on the tailnet as https://vaultwarden

That said, I got a Proton family account and switched, in Proton Pass it is much more intuitive and easy to share with family (just say: share this folder with that fam member, read or read/write), since you don't need the whole "Organizations" layer needed in Bit/Vaultwarden (which also has it's ups, I know). Happy to report that Vaultwarden exported everything nicely to .json and importing into Proton Pass was flawless.

I also find Proton Pass to be a bit more helpful in associating urls with credentials, + I now use the 1 alias per login (each credential set has a unique email address) without any effort, Vaultwarden can't do that (yet? Although seems complicated to implement), only (paid) Bitwarden I guess.
I agree with you assessment but I think it’s a snowball effect as well.

Mental health is notoriously declining and I myself feel the difference when there are days where I don’t touch social media.

I also found that some social media affect me more than others, namely X.

Before the acquisition I remember feeling like I was under an authoritarian regime censoring everything and that made me feel bitter.

After Elon there were short periods where there were no bots, and the algo was actually adapting to me, I didn’t feel bad using it.

But right now its so toxic and full of fear mongering posts, making it unbearable.

I hope society figures this out quickly because AI is only quickening the decline.

Which seems fine, because most americans own their house and aren't paying market rent. Likewise, a decent portion of americans are on rent control, which means they're not paying market rates either. Using "actual rents" (market rents?) wouldn't represent the actual expenditures for a huge portion of the population.

Yes, and that's fine. But if SSH mandated a certain thing and disallowed even admins to change it it would be the equivalent problem.

It's Ubuntu preventing the use of anything but "SafeCurves" that's the problem.

If Ubuntu/Canonical want to use them—fine. (Maybe.†) But don't disable the functionality for admins.

† Some regulated industries need to use certain Approved Algorithms, which may or may not include your favourite ones. Further there may be all sorts of other (workflow) tooling that may not support your favourite ones either, and forcing your favourites on other people (especially taking away other options) is a jerk move.
One button mouse was one of the worst inventions. Mice need at least 3 buttons to be useful. You sometimes need to select something and sometimes you need to launch it. Or you need to select in several different ways.

I tried to understand Tuple Space a few times but I don't get it.

I understand Erlang and the actor model and how distributed processes work, but what is unique in the Tuple Space aspect? I vaguely recall getting it but it doesn't register for me now.

Maybe it's because Erlang already has pub/sub for every 'thing?'
With Biden cutting off migration at the border, construction companies, particularly in the South, are going to have a hard time finding workers at prices that people are used to paying for labor.

Great article! I taught full-time for a while and progressed to program coordinator and eventually department chair. I hated the bureaucracy and ended up leaving. I hang on as an adjunct and still teach one or two sections a semester. My favorite is an intro to programming class using Python - I love to see the lightbulb come on when it all falls into place. That's usually a couple of students out of 25.

I don't get why students don't come to office hours - hardly anyone ever does. I see it as a critical part of my job as service to the students. Some of them are just flailing, yet they don't reach out.

I miss teaching in person. Since Covid, all my classes have been online. I would follow the lecture material, but would also demonstrate important aspects of each topic as we went through them and encouraged the students to do the same on their laptops.

My biggest challenge are these online learning platforms. We use ZyBooks. There are two components, the "book" part where the student reads and the programming part where they write some code. The second part sucks. It's not real programming; it's a padded cell where the student writes code and provides any input. The output is automatically evaluated pass/fail. The student has no interaction with the operating system or interpreter and in my opinion, it loses something without that context. They could have an extra CR/LF in the output and they'd fail the assignment. In the real world, who cares? The problems are often absurd; asking for things that nobody would ever encounter.

My final rant is student-focused. I get a lot of emails like, "I'm trying this and here's a screenshot of my code and I get this error message and I can't figure it out." Somedays I want so badly to tell them that if they pasted the contents of their email into google instead of sending it as an email, the solution would be one of the first three results!!!

A smartphone is very restricted in interaction. You can learn most of the patterns by just playing with it. Yo will still need the manual to do stuff that requires sequences of actions

The terminal is even more restricted, but it has greater versality because commands can be anything. You don’t go to the manual to learn how to use a terminal, you go to it to learn what are the commands and their parameter. And the shell that evaluates the command can be complex enough to require its own manual.

TUIs are more like musical instruments (without the tangibility). You can discover pretty easily that hitting the keys produces sounds, but playing a piece well requires training and a lot of music theory to communicate with fellow musicians. It seems fair that operating a computer requires the same thing.
The Slack URL scheme, and a few others mentioned in other comments take me right back to hp.com/go/<Insert Product>, so hp.com/go/proliant would take you to Proliant servers, maybe.

The idea was really cool, but from talking to people at HP at the time, the implementation was apparently a complete nightmare done with an insane number of rewrites. It was sort of a hit and miss if the thing you typed in after /go/ would actually take you to the correct location, if any.
It is nice that text editors are abundantly available and that they can be used for the task. But once the CSV columns get too wide and irregular, then you probably want to reach for a dedicated spreadsheet program, because it is otherwise too hard to figure out which column you are currently reading.

There is still room between a text editor and a full-blown spreadsheet program. New DSV editors could emerge when the DSV format gains popularity.
I don't really care. The model may be competitive, but my use cases require speed, local (semi-local) execution and reliability. Neither of these seem to be baked into whatever X produced now.

When they make the mini model available for download and quantizable. That's when I may be interested. But given the minimal improvement in the past several months, I'm inclined to believe that we have reached the plateau.
Hopefully it'll be a bit more honest than the last few.

The "optimisation" of starting the inner loop at `j = i + 1` is done to avoid testing every pair of objects twice.

I really like it. I am not sure if it's any easier or more difficult than the current map, and I was able to trace a route from Waterloo to Walthamstow Central easily.

Possibly because I grew up taking the tube at least once a week and became used to the original map, but this one was straightforward to follow. I find it much more aesthetically pleasing than the original.

I wouldn't use this or the original to plan any kind of walking around London. I'd use a real A-Z or whatever to do that.

> where it would fit best aesthetically

It’s not an aesthetic decision, it’s a practical one juggling space constraints and clarity.

Where I live we have both: the main maps are non-geographic, and that allows them to be placed in several locations including the trains themselves. Geographic maps do exist, but take so much space they are only displayed at certain points in certain stations.

You can get either online.

Since claims of sustainability through reparability is a longitudinal thing, should be a good idea to regularly revisit entities such as Framework to see how they are still (or not) carrying the torch.

I switched away from KeePassXC because I kept having sync issues with the DB :). Could have something to do with the way I work (always several PC on/active and my own NextCloud install with issues from time to time...). Vaultwarden never had any sync issues. I guess because changing one login will give you 2 versions of the entire database when a conflict occurs, for Vaultwarden, it's just that one credential, which hardly ever happens.
People sometimes bring up "why is Obama buying beach property if he believes in climate change" - this is why. It doesn't matter what he believes; it matters if he'll be meaningfully affected. They can all afford to lose money on a property in Hawaii a few decades into the future; it's abstract. The Trumps and the Obamas and the Musks of the world will just buy another property.

A billion people in places like Bangladesh don't have that luxury. We thought the Syrian refugee crisis was bad; that was just single-digit millions.
Concretely, most of the time, Google is the executor of these warrants. Now it's totally possible that you will find a Google employee sympathetic to law enforcement who is willing to kick off a flume job to isolate the users who were in the vicinity.

But that request is not going to make it through normal channels. And most of the customer data (especially PII) is very tightly controlled, so likely no such person exists who can run that job without authorization, and even if they did, they would be immediately fired afterwards, and possibly subject to criminal prosecution for violation of their user's privacy, depending on jurisdiction.

For me it is worth it to host a password manager for me and my family, although I just did a one-click install on Digital Ocean (using Bitwarden, not Vaultwarden ... so far).

To me (and I'm pretty ignorant about this stuff), the biggest weakness of a password manager is that it's the one link in a chain that somebody needs to break to have all of my passwords. Hosting that at bitwarden.com or lastpass.com or whatever makes it an even sweeter target because those are known targets. At least self-hosting makes it more difficult for somebody else to find my password manager.

Moving to Vaultwarden has its complications but it would also be fun, and maybe a cool project for the kids. And like you say, if we screw up and they lose their instagram password they won't even remember the pain once they've all grown up and the world is a dystopian nightmare of climate catastrophes, wars, etc. They'll be busy looking for the fattest grubs to eat.
I'm using a Pixel 4a, it does everything I need well. I upgraded from the Pixel 2 only when it started malfunctioning.

In the US, if you don’t have money, legal recourse is essentially unavailable to you. Sometimes even if you do have money, finding a lawyer who specializes in your need is often impossible.

This seems to be solving a problem that most enterprise software engineers don't have. If you're at a large company that has already chosen its preferred cloud, you're probably already spending $xxM+ with them annually and you probably get CUDs & other incentives to keep your business growing with them.

That said, I've never personally seen any cloud project where there wasn't a business case review that didn't include a review of architectural plans/assumptions and expected cloud service consumption profiling. I think what's different here is that you can help engineers close a feedback loop that is often left open between when a project is planned & scoped and when 1) the landing zone (or data pipelines) is created, and 2) when the app/system is moved from test/QA into production. This could be helpful for the project/product manager, especially, because anything that looks out of whack with the forecast should be escalated promptly.
That is a good map. It is also, crucially, so very much simpler than the London Underground one. At a certain point that stops being as feasible.
I agree with everything you said. This isn’t what I would want to plan a route or get my bearings.

However, it may be a reasonable logical representation which could have benefits for determine relationships. Logical maps have their place. We don’t complain that a device tree doesn’t show me _where_ in the computer storage is relative to say USB ports, just how things are connected. I can monitor my solar panels using a physical representation or logical representation. If there was a problem I’d start with the logical to identify the device that failed and what is affected and then switch to the physical to know where to fix.
