Yup, anyone defending this behavior needs a screw tightened.

The dev "pushing back" was being an asshole probably because of deep insecurity of gasp there being other programming languages than C.

Literally rust is currently being proposed for maybe new drivers and basically nothing else ATM. Nobody is suggesting rewriting code in rust or forcing people to learn rust. It is literally just "Hey, might be nice to write this driver for my mouse in a memory safe language".
> TFA says finding product market fit is when 40%+ of users would be “very disappointed” if your product disappeared.

This just seems straightforwardly correct. If you want to find the size of your total addressable market, use a different tool; this one is for product market fit.
"For your interpretation to be accurate, you’d need to also show that the other popular medicine doesn’t work for diabetes type 2 treatment."

This is not true. It's possible that there are multiple effects of type 2 diabetes, with multiple drugs that treat the main factor (sugar levels), but with a subset of the drugs affecting other factors (hormones, cellular activities, something else) that influence dementia.

> Obviously base64 is a simpler transformation than rot13

Is it? It’s probably more obscuring from an LLM’s perspective, assuming the LLM has seen enough rot13 text during training. Spaces and punctuation are untouched by rot13, unlike base64, which means that word and sentence boundaries will still be denoted by tokens that denote those boundaries in plaintext.
Design flaw? You can't see your Note to self note in Chase Banking

#1. They are pretty much my default settings now. But how do you serialize concurrent write with multiple processes? Let's say you run your API service in separate stack as your webapp service. You can't really do that. I know some folks just make sure the transactions are so fast, collision will be rare. But why take the chance?

#2. Snapshot is backup strategy. AFAIK, from reading some reddit comments by Ben? (author of litestream) that it's not a replication strategy.

I've used sqlite in ETL pipeline very successfully, as well as as a read-only caching. I just can't figure out how people use it as server without doing a whole bunch of hacks to deal with its limitations.
> Seems like we could render all code open source.

I agree. I think "AI generating/understanding source code" is a huge red herring. If AI was any good at understanding code, it would just build (or fix) the binary.

And I believe how it will turn out to be, when we really have AI programmers, they will not bother with human-readable code, but code everything in machine code (and if they are tasked in maintaining existing system, they will understand in its entirety, across the SW and HW stack). It's kinda like diffusion models that generate images don't actually bother with learning drawing techniques.
For UK shoppers looking for a cheap laptop, the Dell Latitude E7240 is a solid machine [1]. For about £50-£60 delivered you can get a 12.5" machine with a ~4th gen i5, 4-8GB of RAM and an SSD. It's great for Teams/Zoom and the keyboard is very nice to type on.

My personal one has 12GB of RAM (4+8) and two SSDs (there is a spare slot for a half size M.2. inside). You can abuse the hell out of them and they take it.

The first time I ran into this was years ago. There was a make/model of headphones that I loved. They became increasingly hard to find but Amazon always had them. Over time I noticed they were wearing out faster and faster, so I kept buying replacements.I looked into it one day only to find the manufacturer had stopped making the product 2 years prior, and go figure reviews nose dived shortly afterwards and many had descriptions of how to spot the fakes. Guess what I'd been buying?

There have been some other products where this worked in my favor. I knew for a fact that something I bought over and over again (things you have multiple of and are expected to wear out over time). Manufacturer stopped making them, Amazon claims to still be selling them 10 years later, there's not a noticeable drop-off in quality so what the heck, I'll keep buying them.
"This is why we can't have good things". Something that was created for the benefit, has been mis/ab-used and now is being removed.

I am also thinking (more and more lately) the movie The Congress (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1821641/) and how easy it will be very soon to make a company without human actors. The mega-big studios can train AI by feeding it all their movies, then feed it with the scenario (this is where we - the humans come in - the famous "prompt engineers"), and a movie will be created.

Now, to the above scenario there will be a lot of corrections (can't walk in the air/water/nails)(can't open with killing a dog unless "John Wick" or "Sacred Games")(Sandra Bullock can levitate in "Gravity" but not on "Speed")(etc.)

Eventually if you hire 1000 people to watch 2 iterations of the new movie per day and make corrections to each (100025 = ), the AI will learn and improve on these unrealistic outputs and eventually you can produce movies weekly.

Yo Netflix people, if you haven't started doing this already, START! :) (oh and make a follow-up series on Sacred Games while at it)

EDIT: that's quite a tangent, but I can imagine the day where I will be asking my Paramount-AI "hey, make an original Star Trek series based on this-and-that, I want to binge it next weekend!" (or show me the one you created for someone else)

No actually, I'm not. Instead, my baseline is the historic norm, the evolutionary norm. I don't jump to the conclusion of normalizing diabetes and then come up with some throw-more-pills-at-it theory.

In other words, how effective is this "cure" vs no diabetes at all? *That* is the question.
True. Adding a few 2" screws (into pilot holes) makes an enormous difference to the rigidity of their (e.g.) wardrobes and kitchen units. Even on first assembly, but especially if you have to take apart and rebuild.
> and lastly there is some trend to PCIe everything in both consumer and server hardware. In the consumer segment it had been somewhat limited to the "luxury" segment, i.e. Thunderbolt. But with USB4 it slowly ends up in more and more places. So who knows PCIe based video might just replace both of them (and go over USB-C)

Thunderbolt/USB4 is not PCIe. It's a transport layer that can run multiple applications at once, sharing bandwidth based on use. This is opposed to USB-C Alternate Mode, where pins are physically reassigned to a specific application, which uses the pins regardless of whether it needs the bandwidth.

PCIe is then one of the supported applications running on top of the transport.
The article discusses a way to test product market fit prior to launching. After launch its obvious. But then the way it tests product market fit is asking its users if they would be disappointed if the product didn't exist.

But if you have users you can simply test product market fit to see engagement. If people are engaged, that's a good sign. If you have people that are signed up and aren't engaged, that's a bad sign.

The author uses Slack as an example of a company that has product market fit and over 50% of users surveyed would say they'd be "very disappointed" without Slack (the magic number to beat is 40%). I wonder how that poll would fare for Microsoft Teams, that has 320 million MAU compared to around 40 million for Slack (roughly, few years old but order of magnitude is ~10x). Does Slack have more of a product market fit than Teams because very few people would be disappointed if Teams stopped existing? Or is usage a better metric?
ebay isn't widely used in the EU. Sure the sites exist, but they're just filled with ads, not by listings put up by consumers.

I don’t think it’s either of those. I think it’s because they don’t like the idea of their content being used to train a model that can compete with their content in the future.

Mind you I buy a lot of both Amazon Basics as well as Aliexpress generic products. I'm not saying something is garbage for being in this category, sometimes there are quality products, as you note.

In other words being generic and being garbage aren't a perfect circle in a Venn diagram.
I've been loving the recent attention to mini PCs here. I've had hobby projects put off for a while as I tried to find the best R-Pi clone, only to buy one and struggle just to get it to boot. Then I pick up a used mini PC on ebay for like $42 shipped, power cord and everything and even a 500gb SSD. Now I have a server running at home and am actually working on projects again, oddly for probably less than what a Pi clone costs after you buy enough accessories to use it.
What is this "KDE OS" you want to fund? And why do you think it's a good idea?
In my experience, doing the automation is very easy but getting the list of requirements is very hard. The guys taking an entire day to set up a computer could just install their stuff with (any package manager), so why does it take so long? They don't know what they need and just go with it until they hit a road block.

We pre install the licensed corporate tools and universally used tools like np++ and git for windows, and let them figure out the rest. Every time we bring up baseline changes with that group it turns into bikeshed city.
Linus has the wisdom to see the writing on the wall - the kernel is becoming too
complex to be maintained and extended by newcomers; the pool of C ninjas that can handle it reliably is diminishing. This kind of foresight is what makes Linux trustworthy in the first place. A lot of current individual contributors lack that vision and fail to understand the reason for introducing what they see as unneeded complexity.

The other reason Linux is trustworthy because of the technical meritocracy culture. But since Rust is not a technical choice, as Rust cannot per-se do things that are impossible in C - you can do anything in C - the introduction of Rust falls outside the parameters of the regular rough-but-mostly-fair Linux exchanges. This leading to toxic reactions from the less socially-abled.
Very fair point and duly noted!
eheh, i was just looking for a way to add it back on zen browser..
Similar here.

More than onboarding, there is also the question of changing your laptop, and having to setup everything again.

Some pieces of software that help:

- Humble bundle (https://github.com/homebrew/homebrew-bundle) with a `Brewfile` stored in git and shared;

- dump of all dot files in $HOME encrypted and stored in the company's cloud (because it contains ssh private keys, or password manager db, etc);

- All documents are synchronized with OneDrive.

Mostly, there isn't a one-size fits all, but there is a common set of packages that all devs want, but IDE choice is personal, and many other things.

Hopefully this isn't a stupid question as I know very little about solar, but could the risk/danger be reduced with some kind of diffusion layer behind the target to "de-concentrate" the light in the event of a failure?
One of the reasons I'm against nationalisation, is that when the government contracts out services to the private sector it hold them to a high standard -- and regulates in lots of saftey/etc. conditions.

When the gov runs services there's a massive conflict of interest in regulating them properly: its embarrassing for the gov, there's no accountability for profitability/sustainable-use-of-resources/etc.

So whilst centrist (and center-left on some matters), I'm largely in favour of a gov which runs via contracted services with significant regulation and oversight.

Lots of cover-up stories have come out recently which show that political control over key services undermines their accountability, not improves it.

I find the term 'bullshitting' less fitting as it seems to anthropomorphize LLM in a way that attributes agency to them which they seem to lack. As in, someone who bullshits presumably does this for some personal gain, which doesn't seem like something an LLM is capable of atm.

It might (currently) be most apt to characterize these occurrences as shifts out of the training data distribution

I don't think your alternatives actually solve the same problem. Your alternatives would give you the single most recently joined employee. The actual problem being solved is to find the most recently joined employee in each role.

You'd need to do some grouping in there to be able to get one employee per role instead of a single employee out of the whole data set.
A redditor pointed out [0] that this is exactly what they would do to sink Rust adoption. Even if you agree with the substance of the argument, the delivery is rude and unhelpful. I hope this resignation is a wake-up call, and much of the onus is on C devs to be more collaborative.

Real world energy use is nothing like what you see on spec sheets. And not just because manufacturers differ in how they compute TPD. And TPD is also not a good indicator for energy use at (near) idle. With underclocking/volting in the BIOS you can get a beefier CPU to outperform smaller CPUs per watt. Because CPUs get really inefficient as they use more power undervolted or capped high TPD chips might be much more power efficient in the real world than their low TPD counterparts.
> From what I gather they used Article 43 from the court proceedings, that's the debatable part but they can act under that, no?

Kind of. The article 43 from the court proceedings, is clear when it says that it limits the power of investigation to the court's premises. The internet does not seem to me to be a court's premises.

Thank you, I have fixed the "OS" filter to be must include.

Chromeboxes don't come up much for the search I'm using. I think I could try a separate search for them.

Regarding shipping, I'm not sure how to include it, since it requires the user's location, which would take this over the API limits. I'm going to add more marketplaces, and maybe product locations. Which country are you shipping to?
Sure, if you would know the spin direction before the measurement, you could align your measurement device accordingly and get a predictable answer and spin state would remain unchanged as the particle is not in a superposition for that measurement basis.

But if measurement basis and spin direction are not aligned, then the measurement result will be random in proportion to the misalignment and the spin state will be non-unitarily changed by the measurement, projected onto the measurement basis.

It the second scenario that lacks proper understanding, the first one seems much less interesting, you measure something that you already know and you get the value that you expect. It is certainly an interesting fact that being in a superposition is not an absolute statement, but it also seems not to uncommon. In additive color mixing magenta is a combination of red and blue, in subtractive color mixing it is one of the base colors.

Chronology is right for HFCS but I find the biology hard to believe. HFCS is a combination of glucose and fructose very similar to what is in sucrose except it is sweeter on the tongue and rotates light the other way. I'd expect it to behave very similarly in the body.

There's the case, however, that it is cheaper or that in the 1980s junk food started replacing fat with sugar (e.g. the "Snackwells phenomenon".) On the other hand, if you believe there is a setpoint then people ought to stablize their consumption unless something (glyphosate, BPA, PFAS?) affects that setpoint.
