Just to be clear about it, Rust has the same level of this stuff in the standard library as C does. Like, the equivalent of argc/argv is in the rust standard library. The library being included is more like getopt conceptually; a package built on top of that that makes things nicer.
It was interesting to see an outsider view to tech, especially his initial reaction to Python vs JS syntax, but sprinkling in the politics was unhelpful.

It is quite a leap there to associate JavaScript's syntax with its inventor's political views when they have nothing to do with each other.

Rate only matters if you still worried about asset growth. At 300M+ net worth you are more worried about securing the wealth for generations to come rather than focusing on growth.
Yea that’s a good point! On the one hand, it’s cool to look at the JavaScript the LLM generates to test its hypotheses in the logs (you can click “expand” to see them). On the other hand you’re right that especially given that it’s (presumably) an autoregressive LLM, if it writes the choice before the pattern there’s no way for the pattern to influence the choice.

You can muck with the prompts by clicking “Settings”! I think there’s a lot of room for improvement with all aspects of the experiment.

One prompt I tried made the LLM take tons of turns, but it ended up with a weird fixation with assuming everything was some sort of approximately geometric sequence and would always conclude none of the options matched. Before I gave it the eval_js tool it still did a pretty good job making choices, but the explanations were worse.

It's also worth seeing how it plays out with others, while you are still not on the radar. Part of the reason Xitter is getting harsher treatment is because Musk antagonized.

Another thing I learned recently is above-ground telephone lines on poles are pressurized. Those long black tubes on the cables are splices that also allow the pressure to be read by sensors. The central offices had compressors that fed all the cables.

They might be too early for planets, at least rocky ones. I'm not exactly sure of the timeline for these stars, but planets require at least a generation or two of stars and novas to fuse heavy elements, and we're probably looking at some of the earliest stars formed (assuming it they are actually stars, not entirely clear yet).

Also, if they're not sure how the stars themselves can survive being so close to each other, stable planetary orbits are probably right out. :D

And historically has this competitive market manifested itself? Or have insurance companies instead vastly changed from their 'distributed risk' origins and instead act more as corporate entities with profits at the forefront, where the moment you actually use them the cost of being insured rises?
I disagree, their character does not matter, business incentives matter. Nothing would change, if other personalities were in charge, since profit maximization is still there.
Nope Im Brazilian. And all of this started way before. These orders were not imbalanced -- the blocking of X accounts -- (Ok VPN now is). Musk after several court decisions decided to not comply, even after all involved received due process. It's not, in the slightest, censorship at all. What really happened was violation of ellection rules on daily basis, specially on X but many other social also were fined. META, Tik Tok also had to remove content by court decision and they did comply it. Alexandre de Moraes at election's time was the judge of our TSE -- a branch of supreme court‬ which deals specifically with the electoral process. Many of these accounts participated in January 8, including promoting violence against institutions, some calling for a coup d'état. The continuous disregard of Brazilian laws meant that Musk, which in addition do not paid the fines, also removed his legal representatives from the country, which is not permitted by our legislation.
What you're describing is no different than a linear regression describing the predicted value between two data points. Sometimes the regression is close if enough data exists, other times you get wild hallucinations, with the model none the wiser whether it's correct. All this tells us is that there is a lot of data out there on the internet that can still have useful information extracted from it.

Take someone like Ramanujan, who with a couple math books on his own, could derive brilliant and novel discoveries in mathematics, instead of needing millions of man hours worth reading material to replicate what is mostly a replacement for googling.

I regularly attend conferences regarding AI in the legal field, particularly intellectual property. My goodness, I absolutely hate listening to these IP attorneys attempt to explain AI and it's pitfalls.

50% of the time, what they describe as AI could simply be auto correct, the other half of the time it's this fictional all knowing machine.

I actually got t-shirts for an upcoming conference that just say "Ask me about AI" so I can explain to these IP attorneys what it's actually about. Luckily I've been increasing my participation(s) on these panels so hopefully we can start to dispel some classic pitfalls.

I'm extremely skeptical of this idea of "speed limits which don't match the road" unless people are arguing them down. Because the whole point is that people reliably overestimate their driving ability, and thus overestimate the safe rate of travel on a road.

The road I live on displays this all the time, and that's just an advisory road: the speed limit going down the winding slope near my house is about 50 kmh...that is probably the absolute maximum you can navigate those turns at in perfect conditions, and in reality it's considerably slower - and there are steep embankments either side, so if you lose control your car is at the mercy as to whether or not a tree will stop it plunging over the edge.

Anyway, there's been a fair number of damaged cars and one near miss from said creek plunge in the 2 years I've lived here.

Notes on Using the MLIR C API in Swift
Because breaking companies up seems to be more theatre and less useful outcomes. People call for it freely and usually don't have a theory of how it will actually help. And nobody seems to bring up evidence from past corporate breakups beyond "we did it ergo it was good" (which is suspicious logic).

On paper it looks something like a choice between one company with one shareholder or two companies with ... the same shareholder. It isn't clear what has really changed; the company was only ever a legal fiction anyway. If there were incentives to collude then they haven't gone away.

Migrating an acquired company's infra to a parent company's infra is common. But marketing it to the world, before starting it, and without a clear product strategy to justify it, is pretty uncommon. For me, it smells of messiness that translates into wasted eng time.
Were they not recently caught destroying huge numbers of devices when they sued the company hired to destroying said devices for reselling them instead? I remember reading about that some time ago.

I don't know how that wasn't a much bigger PR issue, but at least I would expect an apple-focused publication to not call them "industry leaders" in such context after that.
What did "someone" say? Key piece of info here.
I think what you do is simply tax stock ownership. Say you own 100 shares of stock. A 2% tax would mean the government would confiscate 2 of your shares, so you then own 98 shares. The government then proceeds to sell their confiscated shares on the open market (not at once, but spread out over the next year) and use the proceeds as tax revenue. You as an investor can maintain your 100 shares of stock by simply buying back the shares on the open market (or not and so pay a smaller capital gains tax than you otherwise would when you sell. This is your cost basis being adjusted). This also doesn't necessarily disincentive investing, as the tax proceeds can be used for funding jobs (ie investment), and owning stocks can still be worthwhile.

That said, I don't see why there's a need for a deduction here. There isn't one for property taxes. Sure there is one when you sell your property at a loss, and that's also already the case when selling stock. Additionally such a tax like this won't ever cause you to lose your entire stock ownership as it's always based on a fraction of your ownership. And, last but not least, you could also impose caps or progressions.
Thanks for the empathy and for the tip!
I agree that the story flows better without it but I'm saying it is not irrelevant like you claim. It is bad writing if nothing else.

Training data can be anything. They scrape the entire internet, plenty of which is inaccurate or poorly written. That doesn't prevent it from being useful training data because the point of an LLM trained for text generation is to predict what someone would write. Every question you ask and your responses to their responses is valuable data that isn't already available on the public internet. Even if some of it is unreliable or even intentionally adversarial, on average the responses will be useful for training. This is training data that they have exclusive access to it.

> freedom crowd might fight it

Look at the 2020 covid vaccines. The freedom crowd said this was going to have massive privacy implications, there was a propaganda machine pushing those people as being crazy antivaxers (maybe many were, let's talk about the large subset who just had privacy concerns), and the net result is that most US citizens have their names, addresses, preferred vaccination locations, preferred vaccination times, propensity for following local regulations, ..., recorded in a database so broken it's basically public.

The freedom crowd didn't have a lot of power against a propaganda machine turning their neighbors against them. Tack in a few dozens of billions from Tesla or Google claiming their cars are safer than the average driver (in well-studied, dry, daylight, slow streets) and using that to push anyone unwilling to roll that tech out globally as a road-raged Luddite, and I'm not sure the freedom crowd are going to be able to do much to slow down our corporate overlords.

In a general sense, I don't really understand where the value is being generated in tech anymore. One of the higher-level things that has slowly gotten me disillusioned with the industry. Just a constant parade of companies either 1. never turning a profit or 2. milking one cash cow built in the 90s, both types of companies just churning stupid projects over and over so that engineers can write new things on their resumes and executives can go from Director to VP.
I wish. There's a park on the east shore of the Potomac as it's widening below DC. A Boy Scout troop could literally pick up a ton of plastic in half a mile of shoreline (just go at low tide). Occasional metal (like a water heater, I think it was), but mostly plastic. I don't know whether it comes from stuff that washes into tributaries, or from boaters.
French Guards board train at Italian border & check everybody immigration (either a EU card or visa and passport), at least in 2016. They take passports with them, saying something in French, and bring it back after about an hour. Longest hour of my life.
I wonder if in the past it was much easier to go no-contact. You could just move a few hundred kilometres away and probably never see anyone again.

These days with cheap phone calls, facebook and cheap flights mere distance won't stop the contact.
In France specifically, the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen (which is an integral part of the Constitution), defines freedom as doing anything which does not harm others, and that the Law determines the limits of a freedom.

Which means Freedom (including of Speech) in its very conception is more bounded that the US notion of Free Speech (which, even though also limited, is less restrictive).

However, Free Speech based on the First Amendment only applies to the individual's relations with the State. A private employer in the US can fire an employee for saying something that doesn't reflect the values of the company, even if that speech was lawful. In France (and I assume most Freedom of Speech countries), the constitutional protection applies even with private entities and an employee cannot be fired for a lawful speech. .
That’s only fair, pretty much every company would require insiders only speak positively about the company in public, if at all :)

The plethora of crappy, bootleg cables with USB-C connectors that are single purpose (power only, low-speed data only, etc) has created plenty of e-waste, in addition to confusion. I don’t see how this is an improvement over the licensing model, where you know every cable works the same.

That simply means money and that's easy to come by. Proprietary technologies, good will, brand name recognition - those are things that are hard to replicate. If all it takes is buying enough GPUs then there is little preventing a competitor from simply buying their way in to the market.
That second paragraph, "hungrier and greedier", is the problem with the entire capitalistic system. If only people stayed small, they'd be happier, have more time, and there would be a wider more diverse set of products available for the public. More importantly, staying small avoids many of the problems startups often hit. It's much easier to handle the culture and internal communications, you don't need investment, and you can focus on making a fantastic product for your much more cohesive set of customers.
This is just an anecdote and should be taken as such, but I don't know how relevant what was said is—removing an emoji reaction on one of your own posts is a pretty petty abuse of admin privileges regardless of the context.

I'm actually less concerned about the follow up message in private, it's the undoing of expressions of disapproval of the admin's behavior that is most concerning regardless of what was said by the original person. A good admin can cope with disagreement about their moderation practices without having to remove the evidence that someone disagreed.
my thinking wrt hugs of death is that if one host is saturated, the content would be available at another host, such that it's not simply unavailable due to high traffic, but leaving that aside, I'm still unsure which party is delivering content to end users.

If I host gifs at bsky.jazzyjackson.xyz, and my posts are indexed by some number of relays, and finally viewed by bsky or an alternate front end app, is that app mirroring my gifs to shoulder the burden, preventing traffic from hitting my $5 VPS?

I always thought {bit,web}torrent would be a good fit for this problem of mirroring content among multiple hosts, but maybe there's a reason no one has gone down that road.
That is quite literally not true. Many states have speed cameras at intersections.

I only specifically responded to the claim that the advertisers were not a party to the lawsuit.

I make no claim as to the nature of claim, the appropriateness of the Sherman act, or if the claims will fail as a matter of law or fact (or neither). I am not a lawyer and am especially clueless on the topic of antitrust law.

I did however, incidentally, see this recently which may be of interest on the topic:

> Why are they leaving out difficilty of building a compiler backend when the ISA has variable-length codes?

Because compiling into the maching code and the machine code decoding by the CPU have different time constraints. One can even argue that a compiler has an infinite time (however impractical it is) to translate a programming language into the binary code, whereas the CPU does not have the same luxury hence the haggle over the ISA's. So it makes sense to leave the compiler code generator out of the picture.
You're probably right. But given that all this plastic already exists, what should be done with it, if not burning it? If it can be truly recycled, that's one thing, but it's not clear it can be (although I don't know the reason for that--maybe it's just not economical, which is different from "it can't be recycled").
Something similar happened in Australia on a large scale. A soft plastic (single use shopping bag) recycling company called REDcycle which partnered with all the major supermarkets was discovered to be just stockpiling it in warehouses. They'd been doing that for about a decade before they were discovered.
A crazed 17yo son of African immigrants murdered 3 kids. Then, the far-right seized on it to make assumptions about the attacker, speculate he was a Muslim, and even provide a fake name. In fact, some of these Twitter accounts (Tristan Tate, etc.) shared the picture of a young Black preacher as the attacker. I saw it and I know when the post disappeared from EndWokeness' and Tristan Tate's page while I was reading through the comments. The young man in question had to make video clarifying he wasn't the attacker.
The problem with micropayments goes beyond the finances.

It's a major friction point.

How do you set up the payment relationship the first time? Maybe you can get it down to one click, at best, with stored credentials.

When you consume content, you still have to track expenditures, whether it's a prepaid credit balance draining or an invoice building up. Every pageview becomes a "is this worth 8 cents?" discussion.

A broad cooperative flat-rate programme-- Patreon on steroids-- seems the best way to manage that. The consumer signs up for the entire universe at $20 per month, and then doesn't have to think about what happens if he visits a new site, or opens 500 articles this month and 5 next month. It's all sorted out with analytics at the content-provider level.
Excellent web site/tool!

I wish there was a similar site for Xeon-processor based systems.
I recall a display at the Museum of Science and Industry back in the early 1970's that featured steel balls bouncing on steel plinths not unlike the video.

I recall too a pair of angled plinths and the steel balls would appear from an opening in the display, drop and bounce from one plinth to the other before exiting (repeat).

No amount of googling has helped shed any light as to "What that was". Perhaps this metallic glass.

(Also recall a computer that you could play Tic-Tac-Toe against. The input was a more or less a telephone keypad, the display large neon X's and O's. Seven year old me, or thereabouts, was fascinated to read that the computer had never yet lost.)
