It is simply economics. In most grids the renewable penetration has been low enough to not warrant any storage, or they have hydro to balance it in for example Portugals case.

Now the battery revolution has begun and gas is being forced off the grids.

We also need to understand that we are not aiming for perfection. We are aiming for good enough.

If the emergency reserve for the extremely cold winter week in 2040 is fossil fuels that is good enough. We are talking 1% of our total consumption.

As long as we can force it to transition to efuels or be replaced when those are the most pressing issues still to tackle.
Akshuaaaly, I think you'll find that any BASH script uses an array for the command line arguments.

Personally, I'm fine with BASH arrays (even associative ones) and yes, the syntax can be opaque, but they get the job done. I find that the long-term advantages of BASH outweigh the many, many problems with it. (If you want something to keep running for 20 years on a variety of different machines and architectures, then BASH is easier to manage than almost any other language).
We do, but it’s messy and usually involves a few years of courtship, followed by one to three decades of raising & educating the resulting human to anything resembling a useful model for comparison.
Apple did so many of these reinvent-the-world projects in the systems area alone that somewhere on Earth-87 they’re running their Hobbit-based phones on NuKernel and the apps are all written in Dylan.
I am in no way defending Russia. As a Ukrainian I am appalled at its government’s actions.

What I am saying is that 2024 Russia is very different from 1917 Russia:

1917: weak government, 2024: strong government

1917: lots of protests, 2024: no protests

1917: class system (if you are born a peasant, you remain a peasant), 2024: you can sell hotdogs then become a billionaire, then have a mercenary force, then be shot out of the sky

1917: widespread income inequality, 2024: billionaires but a Lieutenant doesn’t make 1000x what a soldier in his command does.

1917: mercenary groups are a normal part of life, 2024: they are officially outlawed and unofficially there are only a few.

There are lots of other differences. Again, this isn’t to say that Russia is good or doing good things. They aren’t. But you can’t say nothing changed. That is simply ignoring history. There are similarities in that Russia is still a shitty place to live.

If you want a perspective, check out Antony Beever’s Russia for a history of the 1918 revolution.
I’d say the most important languages are Fortran, Algol, Lisp, and ML. All other general-purpose languages are just different combinations of features from these.

Before LLVM it was much harder for individuals to build competitive programming languages though (edited my original post with that afterthought, apologies)
I was working in K2 in 1999, and it was public then. This is back when it had the built in GUI and dependency graph. I remember the first time somebody showed it to me, and I didn't think it was very impressive. It took about 2-3 months of messing with it before I realized how very wrong I was.
It's absolutely a translator, but they're similar good/bad/weird/hallucinaty at natural translation translations, too.

Consider this round-trip in Google Translate:

"དེ་ནི་སྐད་སྒྱུར་པ་ཞིག་ཡིན། འོན་ཀྱང་ཁོང་ཚོ་རང་བྱུང་སྐད་སྒྱུར་གྱི་སྐད་སྒྱུར་ནང་ལ་ཡག་པོ/ངན་པ/ཁྱད་མཚར་པོ/མགོ་སྐོར་གཏོང་བ་འདྲ་པོ་ཡོད།"

"It's a translator. But they seem to be good/bad/weird/delusional in natural translations. I have a"

(Google translate stopped suddenly, there).

I've tried using ChatGPT to translate two Wikipedia pages from German to English, as it can keep citations and formatting correct when it does so; it was fine for the first 2/3rds, then it made up mostly-plausible statements that were not translated from the original for the rest. (Which I spotted and fixed before saving, because I was expecting some failure).

Don't get me wrong, I find them impressive, but I think the problem here is the Peter Principle: the models are often being promoted beyond their competence. People listen to that promotion and expect them to do far more than they actually can, and are therefore naturally disappointed by the reality.

People like me who remember being thrilled to receive a text adventure casette tape for the Commodore 64 as a birthday or christmas gift when we were kids…

…compared to that, even the Davinci model (that really was autocomplete) was borderline miraculous, and ChatGPT-3.5 was basically the TNG-era Star Trek computer.

But anyone who reads me saying that last part without considering my context, will likely imagine I mean more capabilities than I actually mean.

> Suppose I am a software developer living in Russia and I don’t want to pay taxes to a government that commits war crimes, is that a crime? Should a western bank be preventing that?

Yes, because that activity cannot be distinguished from thd Russian government evading financial sanctions. It sucks for the innocent party but there are many victims of their government with more serious grievances.

> Suppose you were protesting in a dictatorship, and as a result your assets were seized, you have a criminal record, maybe you are collecting donations, should I as a western bank act to stop that ‘crime’?

This has the same problem plus the gross negligence of advising anyone living under a repressive government to use a financial system designed to leave an immutable trail for the police to use when prosecuting them and everyone they know. The full retroactive deanonymization is incredibly dangerous for dissidents since it allows the authorities to prosecute them for transactions they made even before they were suspected of anything.
Getting older is indeed a factor and I am surprised tha author didn't reflect on that himself.

While it might be the case, there's definitely something else going on which I would describe as tech "globalisation" or "unification". The industry that looked like an archipelago of islands with their own ecosystems, philosophies and values increasingly looks like monoculture fields replicated zillion times (yc-style startups and "big tech co" being the two most popular breeds). Of course, the reality is more subtle than this - but the alternative voices and perspectives are completely overpowered by the mainstream narratives - to the point of being barely detectable.
The upside of bureaucracy is that it allows you to ignore reality. And if reality doesn't conform, it's reality's fault.
thank you for your kind words. Will be making it even better (making the fine tuning dataset larger and more similar to how the guide would answer) if there'll be enough people wanting that.

There are some practical benefits to doing things this way, for both the game and the players.

Namely in that the in-game currency, not ackshually being real money, can be provided as rewards during normal gameplay and distributed by the devs during events, campaigns and promotions, or for compensation ("apologems") without complicated bureaucratic tax work for both devs and players.

I also think it's just tacky seeing actual dollar/yen/pound/euro signs flying around when you're trying to just enjoy yourself, which an in-game currency nicely avoids.

None of this to say the pricing being opaque isn't a problem of course, because it is and I reiterate that I agree with the legal action here in the interests of consumers.
It was. But the dataset for training is rather small and focuses only on the first book.

The point parent was making is that corporations are doing that, since corpos are now persons, thanks to Citizens United, any argument about this being bureaucratic, autocratic or what not, is moot.

Fact is, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, etc. frequently deactivate and wipe user accounts with disastous consequences for the victims.
An x86_64 toolchain is allowed to assume SSE2 is present, it's mandated by the AMD64 spec.
really just one more if not the final nail in google searches coffin tbh.

VERY rare these days a google search result actually contains what was searched for - anything with a page number in the url and cache was guaranteed to be the only way to access it.

Combine that with the already absolute epic collapse of their search result quality and ms copilot locally caching everything people do on windows, and this may well be recorded in history as the peak of google before its decline.

very sad day.
Also you could achieve that with RAG quite easily. training is good mainly for the tone and style (which still isn't perfect) but better than most things out there that simply use the llm with no fine tuning

I tried GlazeWM and it does what it says “technically” but there’s a lot of edge cases where it doesn’t and things just glitch out or don’t tile. Applications that don’t work well where you have to edit the configs per app etc. I settled on using Komorebi [1] instead and it’s a lot more of “just works”, just run it and go.

Agreed. Yet whether it should be done is different than whether it is done. Google was recommending it in 2018, and degraded it to a "workaround" just two years ago. Sites still do it, SaaS products still tout its benefits, and Google does not penalize sites for it. GP's gripe about SERP blurbs being missing is still very much extant and blessed by Google.

The Influence of Faulty Labels in Data Sets on Human Pose Estimation
Humans can also spend an entire lifetime (or more, across multiple generations) being absolutely, inexorably and violently certain they are correct about something and still be 100% wrong.

I am not disagreeing that either people or LMMs are not extremely helpful in many or most instances. But if the best we can do with this technology is to make human-comparable mistakes WAY faster and more efficiently, I think as a species we’re in for a lot more bad times before we get to graduate to the good times.

I definitely still write code. But I also prefer to break down problems into chunks which are small enough that an LLM could probably do them natively, if only you can convince it to use the real API instead of inventing a new API each time — concrete example from ChatGPT-3.5, I tried getting it to make and then use a Vector2D class — in one place it had sub(), mul() etc., the other place it had subtract(), multiply() etc.

It can write unit tests, but makes similar mistakes, so I have to rewrite them… but it nevertheless still makes it easier to write those tests.

It writes good first-drafts for documentation, too. I have to change it, delete some stuff that's excess verbiage, but it's better than the default of "nobody has time for documentation".
I wouldn't trust google to decide what information should be stored and what should be condemned to damnatio memoriae
> the script exited with an error. But it didn't tell you that.

Yes it did, by having a non-zero exit code. However, it didn't explicitly mention that it didn't complete successfully, but that's down to the script writer. I like to include a function to tidy up temporary files etc. when the script exits (e.g. trap __cleanup_before_exit EXIT) and it's easy to also assign a function to run when ERR is triggered - if you wish, you can set it to always provide an error backtrace.
Humidity also plays a huge factor with the felt, same with the tip of your cue and how it hits.

I'm not completely unsatisfied with my life, given the circumstances it was much more likely to be a lot worse. But it definitely could be a lot better.
I tried it for a while and thought it was helping a lot. Then I happened to use an IDE without it and realized it was increasing my rate of syntax tokens per hour but reducing the rate of features implemented per hour.

There’s good advice in this thread that is cautioning about getting stuck in research mode. There’s only so much you can get from books. You need to try and fail at some point.

My recommendation to this point is to not treat the books as a set of “how tos”, instead use them to develop a model of the world to test your instincts against.

Depends on how long you want the script/program to be usable.

> Nothing you wrote has anything to do with ORMs, the actual point of this thread.

Incorrect again. ORMs[1] are within the set of compile-to-SQL languages. They were very much spoken to. They are also not magic, just other languages that ultimately express the exact same thing (and have to, since SQL is the compiler target!). But, notably, support composition –– Which means that SQL can support composition, and it would be quite relevant for it to.

Furthermore, you remain confused as the whole reason we're talking about composition in the first place is because it is the reason why people are reaching for ORMs[1]. If SQL supported composition, they wouldn't need to. They could use SQL itself, happily. It is not some kind of general aversion to SQL. The problem is that the SQL language lacks functionality sorrily needed for real-world use, so people feel a strong need to reach for a better language that does provide.

Which is unfortunate, as using SQL itself directly without obscuring behind another language brings many benefits. But until it adds native composition support, you're in for a world of hurt in any kind of practical setting where there is more than one or two queries.

> Pointing out that SQL doesn’t implement the relational model correctly

It is not that it doesn't implement the relational model correctly. It doesn't try to implement the relational model at all. It chooses the tablational model instead. Which is fine. Arguably tablational is better than relational, so to call it relational is nonsensical and perhaps even a little demeaning. What leads you to such nonsense after 40+ years of exposure?

[1] Yes, technically the discussion has been about what are more normally called query builders, not ORM. If you really want to be pedantic, ORM is only concerned with translation between collection of sets and trees and has nothing to do with query expression, but this isn't about pedantry, it's about your poor understanding of SQL and how that has lead you to incorrect conclusions about composition.

Using inspector I threw together some divs and styled them using the aforementioned CSS property values and it definitely works. Columns work, and it even responds to table-layout: fixed! You only lose the ability to use rowspan/colspan attributes but that's about it.

I was thinking about posting it but checked ARIA recommendations to figure out what additional attributes would be appropriate. It strongly recommends against switching interactive elements (a link) to non interactive (grid row). For example, this doesn't validate:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="">
<head>
<title>Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<div role=grid><div role=rowgroup><a href=#frag role=row>test</a></div></div>
</body>
</html>

I'd be inclined to agree, just leave links inside of table cells.
