Reading accounts like this has lead me to the conclusion that for any non-trivial sized project, the overall project management and effective cooperation between people (or often teams) is probably the hardest thing to get right.

And I’m not saying that it’s the “project manager(s)” who are the most important role, because most roles are actually equally important, if one role gets it wrong, the whole project has the potential to fail.

Let’s look at Hollywood movies quickly, your average person looks at headline names in movies like actors, directors and sometimes composers, but these roles while being essential contributors to a successful movie are by no means the most important roles within a movie project.

Movie projects are the work of hundreds of people and any successful movie is a somewhat monumental achievement of everyone doing their part at the right time so as to not delay parts for others and cause cost overruns. Think of shooting a scene, you have at least dozens or hundreds of people on a set and if someone comes unprepared on the day, they’re burning the salary and equipment rental costs for everyone and everything there.

Software development can be the same, rockstar or even smart developers aren’t the “most important” due to their coding skills on large projects. Of course competent technical skills are essential, but success is largely a factor of how effective communication is between all members of a project, this is from developers/QA/artists etc at the lowest level all the way up to the executives.

Everyone needs to be on the same page as to what’s most important right now, what the road ahead looks like, and spotting potential issues so they can be addressed.

According to this blog post, a large amount of the problems with Rome II were that everyone was working in silos and the risks and challenges of trying to integrate everyone’s work at the final hour was largely ignored by management.

Certainly project management here was largely responsible for the problems at launch.

The article touches on basic testing strategies that apply to general software as well as compilers. I have been involved with compiler testing projects on production LLVM and GCC in my past life. One thing that makes compiler testing specifically more difficult than general software is the Oracle Problem: how do you verify the output is in fact correct? Crashes are relatively easy to find by random fuzzing, but in the general case, proving that the output program is not miscompiled is non-trivial.

There are a couple effective techniques in the literature that might be useful here:

- Differential testing[1]: generate a bunch of random, correct, deterministic programs; run them under different compilers or under different compilation flags and check if the output of the program is identical

- Equivalence Modulo Inputs[2]: a class of techniques that can be used transform a program to a distinct program that is supposed to be equivalent to the original for a specific input. (shameless plug)

What I just read is that for the cost of a single 16TB hard drive, they were able to rent a hard drive for 7 hours to stream 16TB, and they still had to devote meaningful engineering resources to avoid the cost overrun.

Does anybody here have a success story where AWS was either much cheaper to operate or to develop for (ideally both) than the normal alternatives?

MuseAir: New fastest portable hash with high quality
The official blog is the best source for this IMO. It's well written as always. https://www.lux.camera/introducing-process-zero-for-iphone/

As someone who has been annoyed by the processing since iPhone 13 [1],
I finally feel vindicated. The results are much sharper and the lighting is much more natural. There are some scenes, especially foliage [2], where the processed version looks like an AI generated cartoon.

Those stories also serve as a tapestry upon which to build tribal bonds. Beliefs are not necessary for them to serve a purpose.

Just like how 90% of people who proclaim they belong to x religion don’t actually believe in stuff the religion proclaims, but it is useful for displaying tribal allegiance.

In some cases, the feigning of belief in obviously false things can even help to serve as a signal for how strong your conviction is to others in a tribe. In the same vein, being a hypocrite can also be seen as a display of “look at the rules I am willing to break, and so I might be willing to break some for you”. Or at least, it shows the belief that some people are above the rules.
Superb article. Things are so clear. MDN/W3C should hire him to do this for many web concepts.
If you were there with floats, Grid and Flex will be a walk in the park for you. Give it a day or two and try out a few layouts. And unlike the struggles with browsers, these two seems to just work. In-fact, they are kinda boring.

> More people == more cars

Counter example: Europe, Japan. It's perfectly possible for a city to grow denser of people without growing denser of cars.

My inner city neighborhood is quite calm and quiet, because the city has decent public transit with three different modes within 3 minutes walk (besides decent biking infra).
Why Do Walruses Whistle? Unveiling the Mystery
There is a difference, and AI companies understand it very well. All of them prohibit you from using their model to train other AI models. Microsoft takes it a step further and even prohibits you from trying to discover how the models work.

No human, however powerful, can prevent you from looking at their actions and learning from them. You can look at Obama's speeches for instance and learn how to craft certain messages for your own speeches. Nothing he can do to stop you from doing that.

And that is the key difference: AI models have been designed to privatize the process of learning, wherein they have unlimited freedom to learn from any human's work without compensating them from it, but humans or even other AI models cannot learn from an AI model.

This distinction IMO removes any right that the AI companies have to pretend that their models are people. They're not, the actions of the AI companies themselves show that.
>I can't think of anyone since who had such an striking impact

We ask for people to be more and more specialized. But problem-solving skills are a lot more universal than the specialization frenzy of today assumes.

I think the biggest hurdle to having universal geniuses nowadays is being allowed to work on problems where you're not certified or specifically educated on them in some sense.

We don't just let anybody have a crack at a problem anymore. How can you work on an odometer if you're not an automotive engineer? How can you work on anti-counterfeit measures if you're not a fraud expert?

IMO problem-solving abilities don't merely work well across disciplines, you might actually be able to detect similarities between problems across domains if you've worked on both domains.

But we can't let that happen. Stay in your lane.
The trick it to be biased towards truth and humility. If they choose which party to align with based on considerations other than considering which party believes what that would be an excellent start.

For example, in this case a publication could run an article saying that the hottest summer on record just happened, and present cases on how big a problem it is and how much in the way of resources should be dedicated to solving it - including the case for the whole thing being a non-issue. That'd be pretty good journalism. They'd probably manage to upset both parties or make both of them happy if they did that IMO.
I know someone who got painful kidney stones from Creatine. Pretty scared of taking it now
I keep hearing how people are addicted to their smart phones, but according to screen time my usage is at all time low.

I think it is because I never got into social medias and doom scrolling. Which makes me think there is nothing wrong with the technology we have, just with the people who use (or in this case can't use) it.

You don't need to buy a whole new device if you don't want all the apps - just remove the apps you don't want. You can use your smart phone just like a dumb phone, but you still have the ability to use it for navigation or check something from the internet when a need rises.

This feels very much like the trend of "going without phone" few years back. Which just meant that those people constantly begged their family, friends, and coworkers to loan them their phones so they could get things done. You can go back to dump phone, but then you really need to have a computer at home so you can still function and probably also buy a printer so you can again print out maps and QR codes you need.
Ah, someone who doesn’t understand modern identity.

What is "Satslink"? I have never heard of it and search engines don't provide anything that looks worth clicking.

Unless is it the "bitcoin" thing, at which point: lol
I read through some of the documents of the original complaint. This is mainly not about Google being the dominant search engine for consumers. It's more to do with their anti competitive behavior in the ad tech market. As a consumer, switching is easy. As a company that wants to advertise, switching is not easy if Google holds all the users. But also they've bought up all sides of the market, so what used to be competitive is now entirely controlled by one company. And, once they had that control, they started squeezing both sides, advertisers and sites that run advertising.

From a consumer perspective it's not about being able to switch search engine. Google is potentially putting a drag on entire economies, both money wise, and innovation wise. If every service you use has to spend extra because Google has an advertising monopoly then every service is passing a cost to you. If every service needs to do it the one way then there's no advancement, no new models, just "give Google money" forever.
> Epic wants their own store because they want to bypass Apple and Google entirely.

Then don't install the Epic App store. Thats your right.

If you are still upset then that means that yes this is about forcing other people and other companies to do what they want with their store and their phones.

If thats your opinion, fine. Just say that out loud. Don't hide behind "Well, people should be able to choose what they want!" Type arguments.

Just explicitly say that you don't care about consumer choice or a companies choice to make their own app store, and leave it at that.
Same. I'll admit I didn't want to, because I hate their dated website and app so much.

But once you sit down and compare features, absolutely nothing comes close to Fidelity.
Well it has to go somewhere. I’m personally against hoarding in general. Less concentration means more equality.
Lymphatic massage should help. It has helped my recurring ear issues tremendously, and is actually quick and easy to do. There are plenty of YouTube videos out there, some for the whole body and some for the face/neck area.

> This won’t be an option for many people.

Yes it will be.

Do what you do with every other product. Don't install it if you don't like it.

But let other people decide what they want to do with their own phones.
> but can you imagine what the world will look like to a child born today, turning 75 in the year 2100? I can't claim to have any certainty, but I expect I'll be happy to have departed by then.

Oh, absolutely. But climate change is going to be a minor issue for them. The social issues like wealth inequality, the continuous descent into a Low Trust Society and similar are most likely going to be way more pressing to them
At that price it would mostly be overhead for getting a relatively slow connection. You could get 10gbps for a similar price.

1gbps from a hosting provider should be a lot less.
You can set up a Schwab brokerage account internationally and then use it to buy money market funds.
I don't get the strawman you are trying to construct here. Most of Youtube is not movies
"believe" and "true" as you're using them are relatively modern, secular concepts, the idea that anything can be tested to destruction and deemed true or false, and the idea that stories are superimposed upon the world rather than being inherently part of it.

If as a pre-modern person, you don't believe in a God or Gods, what fills the void? Nowadays the boundary of our knowledge stretches far beyond day to day life in many respects, but if you don't know about a round Earth, or the solar system, or how weather systems work, how else do you explain phenomena that have a material impact on your day to day life as a subsistence farmer?

Pre Christianity, there wasn't really God's law and Man's law, there was just law. Even today, if you ask a highly educated religious person about their faith, you'll often find a concept of truth in some ways broader than the secular, material variety.

I'll agree the problem with "unbiased" news (BBC locally) is the uncritical regurgitation of positions, and the questions that are not asked. The alternative is to read bias media from all sides and compensate for the bias. Voice of America, Russia Today, BBC world service, and yes, SBS Australia. You know where they are coming from. The Murdoch press cannot offend anyone around the world and so their news must inevitably be content free.
Some novel features of Scryer Shen
They (mega) may have started to do this, but for several years I used to come across saved text files with lists of of mega links on most pedophiles computers.
A different unit in the police sometimes checked the links and anecdotally they still (months after seizure) were valid and contained Child Exploitation Material (CEM). Often the same material stored on the device that I was wading thru. (insert cannot unsee meme)
I am not talking about fakes, I'm talking about photographic documentation of the worst abuse held by offenders either as memories or currency.
So when Mega came under fire I didn't really care that if came from the "copyright" end.
I understand that Mega faced a large task to address this. Not simple. But the fact that CEM was hard for them to sort from the large corpus of "pirated" material seemed like a feature, not a bug. A least from a site design perspective. Selfishly, my sympathy is low in this case. Motivated by my own secondary exposure to some horrible shit as a result of the legal process.
> Is there no chance that instead of NPR all of a sudden being exposed as biased, it was your own biases that were exposed?

There is a fairly simple heuristic to determine if a media outlet has a partisan bias. Does their coverage disproportionately portray one party in a positive light and the other party in a negative light?

The US has two major political parties that are each supported by approximately the same number of people. It would be mighty shocking if it turned out that one of them was right about everything and the other was wrong about everything. So if that's the impression that a media outlet leaves you with, that is a biased media outlet.

This is different than their coverage of an individual story. For any given issue, one of the parties might legitimately be right and the other one wrong. But that's not going to be true for every issue in the same direction.
Yeah, I'm confused, too - a $60 server with any decent web server on it should be happy chugging along at 5-15k req/s, right?
That might set you up for overtraining. If your ability to regenerate is good/fast enough, it might work. Measuring heart rate variability is a good indicator for when you’re ready for more exercise.
One thing I noticed about this behavior of LLMs "seeing" their error when you correct them is that sometimes I'm not even correcting them, just asking follow up questions that they interpret as me pointing out some mistake. Example:

Me: - Write a Go function that will iterate over the characters of a string and print them individually.

~Claude spits out code that works as intended.~

Me: - Do you think we should iterate over runes instead?

Claude: – You are absolutely right! Sorry for my oversight, here's the fixed version of the code:

I just wanted to reason about possibilities, but it always takes my question as if I'm pointing out mistakes. This makes me feel not very confident in their answers.
Yup, 3.1-70B-Instruct-lorablated is the one I currently recommend too for anti-rejection models — it seems roughly as anti-rejection as the original failspy "abliterated" model, but it works with 128k context since it's based on 3.1 instead of 3 (which only had 8k context). It's currently our second-most popular model on glhf.chat, behind Llama-3.1-405B-Instruct.
But it all comes down to the execution of it. Sweden has a Public Service thats financed by a tax-like-system.

Swedish public service is imho very bad. Its shallow, narrow, angled and generally never (or rarely) leaves you feeling informed. Their debates are laughable, their interviews are short, uninformed (the interviewer is) and is generally closer to gotcha-journalism than whatever a random Youtube-interview is where they get to complete their sentences.

The Swedish PS has an enourmous budget and has very little to show for it. It should be reformed.
In my country all those workers regularly strike or protest to defend their interests.

> The only situation where the value of the fund can be less than what you put in is the collapse of US currency, which savings account insurance can not protect against either.

I don't think so: suppose the company offering the fund was mismanaged and failed to comply with the regulations. Maybe not likely, but definitely more likely than the "collapse of US currency."
Hetzner rootservers have no in- or outgoing data limit either
Nice. As somebody who's bored out of their mind with the internet... I eat this stuff up. I like originality.. Authenticity... cool little projects with websites, where I don't have to go hunt and look for them, all segregated / half abandoned.

I don't want to see twitter, facebook, AI or AI generated anything, political agenda, echo chambers, just some good stuff, good fun, that kind of brings that a bit back for me. thank you. everything now is some AI, or some app with $29.99 slapped on it telling me its the next best thing with 350 buzzwords.

The internet.. it's something else now adays, not saying its different from what it use to be... but taking a look at the top 100 most visited websites, it kind of speaks for itself. Dystopic.

Also, websearch would equally not be able to survive on its own. We know it from the fact that the competitors in the search field that put quality over ads, are doing it as a paid service.

That would be a paid service that the majority of people would not be okay with, and even if google search did an enshittification pass trying to create a crowd that would. Users would still jump ship to the next search that is still provided for free.
