I kept tripping some sort of "don't give it direct instructions" filter, but it gave some interesting results. I asked it, multiple times, about my BitGrid (which it actually read about, and included!), FPGAs, LUTs and energy usage. It kept talking about the problems with the technology, and the need for specialist to program it, and environmental impacts.

I did discover a dearth of published information about just how much energy a 4x4 LUT requires per cycle, and it's idle power.
Maybe the question is: should you run the Boston Marathon

In 2016, a systematic medical review found that the risk of sudden cardiac death during or immediately after a marathon was between 0.6 and 1.9 deaths per 100,000 participants, varying across the specific studies and the methods used, and not controlling for age or gender. This translates to a few published marathon deaths worldwide in a typical year, although the authors lamented the lack of a central registry for the information.

That said, the Boston Marathon has a lower presence in the marathon-death-tables, the bombing aside: That's really not relevant to this. So, if you want to take the aggregate risk (which is between the risk of fatal insect sting, and lightning) of all the Marathons to chose to run, Boston is one of the better ones.
It was more that I thought the prior discussion was worth linking to.

A.I. Pioneers Call for Protections Against 'Catastrophic Risks'
Wow. I can't believe people believe this is still true in 2024.

I worked in crypto sector which paid really well in some cases... Though compensation had little to do with talent and more to do with focus on political bs and alignment with the needs of corrupt authorities. Some could argue there was an inverse correlation between talent and compensation as the most corrupt people are often that way because they lack talent to begin with.

I've observed similar dynamics in big tech corporations, unfortunately. People are promoted on the basis of their incompetence and capacity for self-delusion as it creates the necessary blind-spots which allow organizations to occasionally poke their toes beyond red lines to reap massive profits.

Stupidity and incompetence are useful attributes within corporations because they instill a feeling of insecurity in the minds of the affected employees and this makes them highly loyal and controllable. Sometimes I think one of the main reasons these companies hire actual intelligent people is to make the incompetent people feel insecure 'imposter syndrome' and increase their degree of loyalty/compliance. They don't actually need intelligent people to run things because they have monopolies and the big profits are to be reaped in maintaining their monopolies which is achieved via dirty politics; not achieved via innovation.

I think many intelligent people have observed this reality in companies they worked for. We've seen the HR manager who will bend over backwards to deny reality to align with the goals of management.

The massive disruption of Hezbollah's communication network may cripple them enough to shorten the duration of the conflict, and possibly help turn public sentiment from Lebonese civilians into pressure to find a way to end things. The civilians are the people who on average do not feel strongly enough to fight, and may have large number pissed that a group-- even if they believe in its cause-- has brought violence to their communities through a surprise attack against a more powerful enemy. More than half of the Lebonese population believe there is no military solution to the overall dispute: https://www.washingtoninstitute.org/policy-analysis/shadow-h...

And if that's true, is it really peacetime? Or hidden war?
Let's be clear here: it was a terrorist attack. Replace "IsraeL" and "Lebanon" with "iran" and "Israel" and Iran would already have bombed by the US.

Netanyahu is trying to ignite a regional war. It's the only way he stays out of prison. If the genocide in Gaza ends, his government falls and he goes to jail. He wants to drag the US into this regional war.

Do you think that's smart from Israel's perspective? Will that improve that safety of Israeli citizens? Or will it subject them to counterattacks?

Is that smart?

I'm assuming you mean "how well does JVM concurrency play with Python concurrency"? Python concurrency works perfectly well on its own, Java/Clojure concurrency works very well on its own, trying to pass multithreaded information across the JVM boundary to Python while bypassing the GIL will result in a segfault (Edit: but there are "with-gil" wrappers you can use to prevent that, at a slight performance hit). In practice this tends not to be much of a problem as you setup a parallel workload on one side of the boundary or the other and pass information with a threadsafe queue. We do plenty of heavy parallel computations, data science, AI, fintech, etc.

There are certainly some leaky abstractions and there is a general expectation that you understand the quirks of Python and Clojure pretty well, so it's not for everyone. Knowing something about Java would probably help too but I've been using libpython-clj in production since 2017 years and I barely know anything about Java (compared to Python/Clojure).
Because they rely on variadic generics they can make type inference very slow or just fail completely, leading to the infamous and singularly unhelpful compiler error, "The compiler is unable to type-check this expression in reasonable time; try breaking up the expression into distinct sub-expressions".

Fascinating. Last summer, inspired by AutoGPT, I made a simple Python script that does a web search for a query and uses that to answer the user's question. Looking at this I'm thinking, I could take the web results and ask it to reformat them in the style of Wikipedia, and wondering how that compares.

(I built it because ChatGPT couldn't search the web yet. When Phind launched a few weeks later, my project was basically obsolete!)

It seems the main improvement this paper has over that naive approach is the quality of the inputs, i.e. using "trusted sources" rather than random web results. (They appear to get their sources from Wikipedia itself?)

I'm not sure how much value all the other steps in the process add though.
Any ideas why that misnumbering happens? It sounds a very basic thing to get wrong. And as a fallback, could be brute-force kludged with an extra pass which appends the output list to the prompt.

Since you asked:

The provided `drinkable` example I think is pretty bad and it's very surprising to me that this is a headline feature.

protocol Drinkable: ~Copyable {
consuming func use()
}

struct Coffee: Drinkable, ~Copyable { /\* ... */ }
struct Water: Drinkable { /* ... \*/ }

func drink(item: consuming some Drinkable & ~Copyable) {
item.use()
}

drink(item: Coffee())
drink(item: Water())

Here we have a drink() function that either accepts something `Copyable` OR non-Copyable (uh, I mean, `~Copyable`) and either consumes it...or doesn't? That seems to me like a fountain for logic errors if the function behaves completely differently with the same signature (which is, in fact, explicitly labeled `consuming`). It seems like it should not just compile if you try to call this with a `Copyable` type like Water, but it does.

The syntax for representing this complex and weird concept of "maybe consuming" being `consuming some Drinkable & ~Copyable` is also just totally gross. Why are we using bitwise operation syntax for some weird and logically incoherent kludge? We cannot apply these & and ~ operators indiscriminately, and they do not mean the same thing that they logically mean in any other context, but this function definition definitely implies that they do.
Paper negatives are interesting, but yes even when you’ve got a subject that sits still long enough and the camera is on a really steady tripod the result will still be a lot less than critically sharp when printed because the paper diffuses any light passed through it. Cheaper than film, but but vastly sharper than paper, are wet plate collodion processes like anbrotypes and tintypes, though you’ll either have to make (or have made) a back appropriate for glass or metal as the substrate.
It is a dirty (i.e. collateral civilians, maim instead of kill or deter, etc.) tactic and should be the sort of thing banned by Geneva Conventions.
There is a big misunderstanding here; you seem to believe that because Hezbollah is so invariably coupled with civilian life and has by own decision foregone uniforms and other basic traditional military structures, this somehow raises the requirements for Israel to strike them. The opposite is true.
Keyboard repeat is only useful in ANSI terminal games on Unix, and games on some old 8 bit home computers that didn't have up and down events (Apple II+, ...).

A game written for an IBM PC and everything after that can know exactly which keys are being held down and when they are released by intercepting the "scan codes" (or abstract keyboard events in a GUI event loop).

All that is missing is synthesizer-like velocity and pressure info. :)

> will slow down typing significantly

Only for people who have to look at the screen. :)

The hunt-and-peck beginners who look at their fingers are not effect, and neither are those who can look at something else or close their eyes.

A serious concern affecting even those people is that using the release event could reorder things, causing mistakes. Like say if someone types the sequece wh (involving two hands) such that they release the w later than h.
Is there a reason you don't seem to be considering that companies lobby politicians to allow this?
Made ProSim for Xcode Simulator – an app I wanted myself to ship faster
ProSim is an all-in-one companion app for Xcode, with more than 27 essential simulator tools.

I originally built this app for myself because I couldn’t find any other apps for Xcode Simulator on the App Store that passed these:

- In addition to customizing the status bar, accessibility settings, changing locations, testing deep links and push notifications i wanted this:

- able to take screenshots with real full resolution real bezels and add custom backgrounds with different colors and even add texts to them. All in one place. No more going to Figma for simple screenshots to share online.

- well-designed & easy to navigate

- didn’t collect any data. none.

- easy to navigate. not bloated. i should get to what i want as fast as possible

- available as a one-time purchase without subscriptions. purchase one time, receive updates even on future versions. no ads, no recurring subscriptions.

There was simply no app with all these 27+ features on the App Store that passed the above criteria.

You can get it here on the Mac App Store. Hope you like it and let me know if you want to see any additional features!
The first AI winter was because of a book about Perceptrons, was perceived as being extremely critical of them, which killed interest. It took decades for neural nets to finally prove their effectiveness.

The second was because the benefits of "Expert Systems" were oversold, and didn't prove to be as beneficial as expected.

There will be a heavy correction in the market caps of companies that bet heavy on AI, as the promises don't live up to the hype. However, in this case, there clearly is benefit to using LLMs, the cost of training has proven to be prohibitive. Slower and more prudent approaches, with better hardware will allow progress to continue. If nothing else, it'll be a mild AI winter.
Admitting SwiftUI to have been a mistake and reinvesting back into AppKit and UIKit would go a long way.

It's all quite maddening if you try and make sense of it.

I doubt that. It’s way more likely that from today on, every batch of devices used by VIPs will be tested for explosives, thus rendering such attacks moot. Finding such devices would also enable figuring out who your enemy’s operatives are.

Don't Let Go (of compile-time knowledge)
There are old stories of the Russians planting mines inside children's toys during some of the later cold war conflicts. This is starting to feel a bit like that. Nobody had any way of knowing who was holding those pagers when they sent that packet but they still distributed thousands of munitions throughout the populace and pressed the red button. Now there are probably at least a hundred or so still out there that haven't exploded and are just live UXO sitting in people's desk drawers.

I'd say it's pretty fucked.
I don't think anyone here is seriously suggesting that separating IO and concerns is bad.

I think people here are devaluing the "kind of approach" taken in these over-abstracted-architectures. The snippets of "improved" code in TFA have a lot of new line-noise, a lot of boilerplate and half-a-dozen "new" pieces of terminology, all in the quest to essentially separate IO and core logic.

There's plenty of ways to perform this separation, many of them don't require replicating half the design-patterns from C# tutorial. I'm pretty partial to "functional-core, imperative-shell", I think that it achieves all the same advantages, with none of the new concepts, and far less line noise.

Common pitfalls with Docker networking and how to firewall
you should know that docker doesnt make firewalling containers easy

1) devices one hop away can route directly to the container network, for example the WAN interface can make requests to 172.17.0.2

2) INPUT firewall rules won't help. with docker's defaults the DOCKER-USER chain needs to filtering

3) container networks have access to private subnets upstream of the container. this is a common problem in many homelab setups

4) browsers can be a springboard for malicious websites to attempt to exploit testing docker containers on adjacent networks with default credentails

One odd thing that never occurred to me until now is that two black holes that pass each other at near light speed, if they intersect by even a nanometer, will be guaranteed to merge. That nanometer has to fall into both singularities due to the properties of black holes, so transitively they have to merge. Kind of weird. I'm guessing it would create a bunch of angular momentum and throw out almost all their masses as gravitational waves. Will be a fun experiment for someone in a few hundred years.

This is pretty interesting, what's the benefit over using python so directly with java? I mean, is the overhead of having these as seperate services / processes too much? I'm not trying to provoke I'm genuinely curious about the use case.

Also, what's the dev workflow like? When I'm coding python I basically live inside the debugger (a.k.a the carmark method), do you use an IDE that understands both java and python? Whats the debugging experience like? Can you set a breakpoint and then evaluate python code and expressions inside the debugger like you can if it was just solely a python project using VSCode and the python debugger?
