> And even then, you are simply getting a measurement of a thing.

This is exactly where the Many World Interpretation and the Copenhagen Interpretation diverges.

If you send a proton with enough violence through the core of a lead atom, for instance, any given observer will see patterns that tend to be interpreted as interactions between nuclei (or quarks, depending on the situation). We can draw Feynmann diagrams for this and even some calculations.

For other particles, such as electron-electron interactions, these can even be quite clean and give the impression that the particle has a certain location at the time of interaction.

While your objection can still be made in this case, it's much weaker. Physicists tend to consider cases like these as an observation of an individual particle. (If they ignore the MWI).

Within the MWI, though, the assumption is that every possible interaction all occur at once. It's just that usually the outcomes are not mutually coherent. And when so, later interactions between the different paths the wavefunction is taking cannot interact with eachother.

In this case, your objection becomes true at a much deeper level.

In any case, we simply do not yet KNOW what exists at the deepest level. All we have is guesses.

What this exploit describes is not unreliable output, it's the LLM making web requests exfiltrating the user's data. The user doesn't have to do anything with the LLM's output in order for this to occur, the LLM does this on its own.
> 2. Most prosecutions end in plea deals before they get to trial. In fact, the threat of a heavy sentence at trial is used to extract a plea deal because trials are expensive. If every defendant went to trial the entire justice system would collapse;

> 4. You can never predict what a jury will do or what they will focus on. It's a huge gamble but it favors the prosecution. Juries want to convict, generally;

And those are pretty terrible and make for an unfair system. How many people took a plea deal to avoid the risk of getting a heavy sentence by gambling with a jury, even if they were innocent?
I think many great ideas never gain traction simply because they weren’t communicated effectively
It's not always so much the views themselves, it's the screechy, persistent and aggressive voicing of them that ends up getting someone branded an SJW. I'm sure there's a term for the equivalent for the overly noisy on the right-hand end of politics, I'm just not aware of it.
These kind of things happen all the time in embedded development. Tough to debug, because you can't initially know whether it's software or hardware.
My favourite case of this was simply "touchscreen sometimes doesn't work". That took over a year before it even made it to us developers, being reported intermittently across a large number of point of sale systems. Sensibly, people were reluctant to pass on something that they couldn't reproduce, and it was often blamed on hardware issues or user error, such as damage from people operating the (resistive) touchscreen with a bunch of keys or the smooth metal Dallas key fob that was also used for log in.

We eventually got a robot to reproduce some other issues with PIN pads (which for obvious reasons do not support any kind of software injection of input!), and got some time using the robot to press the touchscreen over and over. That way we were able to confirm it happening, and start the debug process.

(anticlimactically, I can't quite remember what the resolution was, something to do with debounce logic and interrupt events)
Hey thanks. Yeah, even we felt it was very obvious and why no one has done this before :)

Graduated June last year from my CS course at a good middle of the road uni that's well know but not for CS specifically.

Got a DevOps type role February of this year.

Pay is terrible, not much above min wage (UK), but should have a 50-100% increase once I've been there a year. Happy with that pay as its an excellent environment with a excellent team and a modern tech stack (hybrid cloud, k8s, lots of new AI/big data type projects happening) and where I have a very wide scope to learn new technologies and get stuck in with interesting things.

I do wonder how a junior dev can be anything other than a net positive (maybe devops is easier, doesn't feel like it...) for a company. I've taken up very little of more senior team members time to get up to speed, but then again we have good docs... It doesn't feel like I'm a burden and I'm definitely producing lots of value for both the 'devops team' and the 'development teams' we support. Maybe my personality and abilities skew my view but is it really that hard to hire junior devs that are proactive about learning and can be left to figure it it?
Nice post! I’m curious how the SQLite-per-instance model works for rate-limiting in the scale-out scenario. I took a cursory glance at the docs but nothing jumped out at me about how it works.
I wasn't thinking of Meta's products, just how social networks are supposed to work. Leon trying to tweak things is just not acceptable (not to mention dangerous... blocking is there for a reason).

I haven't administered such a system, but I have good experience with Veeam. Deleted the wrong SQL table by accident? Absolutely no problem to restore it without even needing to reboot any server or restart services. There are countless option for import/export that Veeam provides.

We also use Nimble for snapshots every 15 minutes on some servers, although not our databases afaik. Pretty effective if a worst case ransom attack was successful on a user with too many access rights.

These solutions aren't cheap though.

Privately I just use multiple hard drives and for database servers I would use the internal backup functionalities, which are pretty good on most databases.
I enjoyed gamemaker a lot. Especially the ease of adding small snippets of code when you wanted to do something slightly more advanced than the normal editor allowed.
We leave backing up of the VMs themselves to our infrastructure team, but we also make sure that we have logical backups of our databases, so worst case we can restore our databases to a known point.

Our local files can either be pulled from git repositories or rebuilt by running an Ansible playbook against the server. Luckily we don't have an user uploaded files on our servers to worry about.

This immediately made me think of outrage clickbait.

So much stuff is wrapped in the veil of shock/outrafe now, that maybe people even think it creative?

When I look youtube, even quality videos about "how to dig a trench for a sump pump" often have a preview showing some horrible thing happening, or the guy with an anguished look on his face, and a title of "don't let this happen to you!"

What if the height of creativity is now "we shocked/annoyed you".

> It's also why violins don't really go with rock music.

As a lover of violins in metal, I disagree, heavily. They are very common in folk metal (e.g. Isenmor with 2 violinists [0]), but also many other genres, including more underground ones (e.g. Exulansis where the violin is the focus [1]) use them. Even when there’s no violinist, there are quite a few bands that add them synthetically.

You are confusing two dimensions: being masterful and cunning in the use of an instrument, and fully expressing creativity. The first thrives on limitations, for the second limitations are unwanted.

You can create a masterpiece with a stick and a pebble - but not all masterpieces.

> The rest of the "Extended BIOS Parameter Block" looks like it isn't relevant data, like the volume label or the volume's serial number

No, that's the exact reason why OS/2 checks the OEM ID. The volume label was initially used to detect disk swaps (so that if an application has open files on disk 1, it does not destroy data on disk 2 by writes after the user replaces the floppy in the drive, which could not be detected in hardware until much later, and even then not unless you were using a Mac, basically).

Of course, the volume label is user-set (so duplicates are possible), and more often not set than meaningful in any case. So, DOS 3.3 added the (unique-at-format-time) volume serial number. Which was always all-zeroes (or garbage) on pre-3.3 disks, hence the need for the OEM ID check.
> Too bad. It was a great complement to the increasingly unreliable IA, whose list of blacklisted websites just keeps skyrocketing for opaque reasons

This could be due to site owners contacting the IA and requesting their site be permanently removed from the archive. It's not as easy as pressing a button, but it's not difficult to have your site removed.

I don't think that the IA itself makes editorial decisions as to which sites to include and which to blacklist. It's more likely that the blacklist is a voluntary opt-in thing...
How is that any different though from regular false or fabricated information gleaned from Google, social media or any other source? I think we crossed the rubicon on generating nonsense faster than we can refute it long ago.

Independent thinking is important -- it's the vaccine for bullshit -- not everybody will subscribe or get it right but if enough do we have herd immunity from lies and errors and I think that was the correct answer and will be the correct answer going forward.

Kudos, this is a really nice project!

I've got a couple of questions though, if you don't mind:

- Can you order batteries in the online shop? My concern is that after a while the battery breaks down and the device becomes effectively bricked.

- Can the device run/boot without a battery in it? Then it would make some nice base for DIY projects

- Does your firmware for the screen support libinput?

- As far as I can tell, FydeOS seems to be your Chromium OS fork. Is it possible to dual boot from multiple partitions with the device? Aka does it support MBR records or similar? Dual booting Fyde/Arch would be amazing, especially as a device that's with you on the go.

This was so obviously nonsense that it could only have been written maliciously by a human. In practice, you won't find that much, at least on topics like this.

And I think people, especially laypeople, do tend to see the output of the bullshit generating robot as authoritative, because it _looks_ authoritative, and they don't understand how the bullshit generating robot works.

> 30% is way too high

Underestimate in many circumstances. Poor people living in UK cities are paying up to 50% of their income in housing. https://ifs.org.uk/inequality/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/IFS...

(the Georgists have a point; over time, rentiers gradually capture more and more of an economy)

Also department stores are a victim of a gradient across the globe. You want a westerner, standing in a western city, to spend time with you selling you a product? Of course all those things are staggeringly expensive. See also healthcare.
It's a nice ideal to aim for. But I agree, it's not "must" and not "exactly". If I run into a "very-interesting-problem" which depends on synchronisation between multiple machines and includes some geographic dependencies and caching, I may do the mental calculation:

- reproducing the issue in a repeatable way would take a week or more

- I can make 2 educated-guess fixes a day which don't affect production negatively

I would be a fool to choose the first (or at least start with the first) in most companies. I mean, I want to display pictures on the internet, not send people into space.
Yes, most of the public uses the doctor which is assigned to them when they have something go wrong.

The trouble is that it’s hard to distinguish between “friendly and nice” and “competent”. This is how people end up paying a financial advisor almost 2% to buy index funds.

It would be nice if we could rely on certification by third parties as a mark of competence, but clearly that’s not enough.
My best guess is Datomic's coupling to the JVM makes it great for clojure developers (or java, scala etc) but not even considered by python or javascript shops, which make up the vast majority.

If python and java has better interop, I think the story would be a little different maybe? My experience is that java is always a little stubborn as "child code" so libaries like pyspark often involve notoriously difficult set up.
Neither C or D it is, then, eh? Your move WPEngine and all of the other uses of the acronym. Stealing lawyer words (not one, again), is this becoming class action?
> Unfortunately common science books talks only about discoveries, results that are considered fact but usually don't do much about the history of how we got there.

The journey to discovery is often just as fascinating as the results themselves. The process (the false starts, debates, even the dead ends) can be incredibly instructive and inspiring.
Hey, no problem on the language. Always happy for any thoughts :) We will open source next week.

A couple of corrections: I never meant to say our method was superior. We have not done any benchmarks etc enough to write a paper. We have just been using this approach in our RAG pipeline and we have been happy with it. Sorry, will add a disclaimer in the post.

Agreed. For semantic chunking, only read and compare works best. Not sure how to scale that to a bench mark. Guess for the PG essay, only PG can answer if the topics align with his thoughts :)[https://x.com/nutanc/status/1838813258972549549]

We will release the algorithm. I just put this out on Hackernews thinking this will also not be noticed as my all other posts :)

But looks like some interest is there. Will post a follow up update soon. Sorry for the lack of details on the original post.
Will they put her with Sam Bankman-Fried in the same prison cell?
as someone else said, these concerns have existed before and amounted to nothing, so those of us who have aged are not easily agitated. in science a deep understanding of a method is only realised if you write the code to implement it. many mediocre scientists will turn to ai tools and make many mistakes because they cannot validate
> > Keep in mind GROUP BY clause usually dictates index use.

> The reason for this wasn't immediately apparent to me.

The key thing to remember is that grouping is essentially a sorting operation, and it happens before your other sorts (that last part isn't necessarily as obvious).
> You probably could do a new generation of department store targeting younger folks, but it would have to be much different. Probably won't happen.

True but it's not always about personal stuff. Like if you start a new creative thing and don't want some particular friends (or whoever) to know about it.
I love Clojure and would love to use Datomic. The fact that it is not open source pushes me away. The risk of being locked in is far too great for anything serious. There's no Valkey move if someone captures Datomic.
We have seen what lobotomized image generators create and I believe nobody wants that.

Not everything is NSFW and the user base does push the technology.

Stability does create the best results though, so if I had significant investment capital, I certainly would be heavily interested. For technology reasons at first more than a business plan. Although there is an enormous potential for the latter here, that I believe can justify investments as well. Might be a more long time invest though.

Exactly this for me as well - think people really underestimate how fast it allows you to iterate through prototyping. It's not outsourcing your thinking, it's more that it can generate a lot of the basics for you so you can infer the missing parts and tweak to suit your needs.

I have seen a large number of otherwise presenting as perfectly normal fediverse instances about normal topics, where if you scroll down in the rules, the last rule is "being racist against whites is not against the rules" or sometimes phrased "reverse racism is not real" or "reports about people expressing their pain towards groups such as whites and men will be ignored"

That's the truth of the context we're dealing with here, the pendulum has swung far enough that racist lunatics are incredibly common in positions of power on these instances.

Here is one example i found in 5 minutes, this is the first result for "academic mastodon" in search engines.

> Users of Scholar Social are expected to have the literacy to understand that "reverse discrimination" is not real, and so attempts to re-centre discussions of marginalized people around the feelings of the privileged will be taken as manipulative behaviour undertaken deliberately in bad-faith. (E.g. white people should not demand that people of colour put CW's on every discussion of race; a straight person who reports a queer person for writing "I hate straight people" may find their own account suspended.)

Like, whoever wrote this is a blatant bigot, and yet most of the high profile mastodon instances are run by people like this.
