I’m not saying opiates are ‘bad’. I’m saying they are powerful. And seductive.

And that IMO the worst part of the Oxy crisis (and heroin before that) isn’t that it was an opiate. It was that the manufacturer got to lie about how it was less addictive, when it actually was more addictive. And that meant people were less cautious, and it caused more damage.

The same thing that makes opiates powerful is the same thing that makes them dangerous. And destructive.
I'm not saying a new collider is the best use of our money. I'm saying that fighting over scraps, comparatively, for science investment is ignoring that far greater sums of money are spent unthinkingly on other areas, and often wasted without regret.

Nobody is ever going to say "I'm sure glad we spent two trillion dollars on the F-35." But we'll be writing about the Higgs until the end of humanity.
Software bugs almost never poison you, so that isn't applicable.

Product recalls happen every day in the software industry, voluntarily. We call them software updates and the industry does them far better and more smoothly than any other industry.

Use cases that aren't covered due to liability can be found in any EULA. You aren't allowed to use Windows in nuclear power stations for example.
The best way to build products I've found is to
1. hire passionate engineers.
2. give engineers enough room to breath and collaborate on the product.

Every project that uses Agile defeats 2.
I'm not saying that Agile is the reason for this but after 15 years of seeing this repeatedly I'm very wary of places which place Agile as a component of their culture.

By contrast something like AspectJ for C++ (if such a thing existed) could express this requirement cleanly.
LLMs can not produce factual answers. That's not a property of them. What people call "hallucination" is the only thing they can do. Even if it occasionally happens to deliver a correct results that's just the broken clock being right twice a day. The typical ones sound authorative and so people believe it's authorative, this is well documented in Thinking Fast & Slow. As Aza Raskin put it, they hit a zeroday in human cognition. But that doesn't change the fundamentals of it, only the perception of the output which we need to consciously combat.

> You might be surprised to learn that I actually think LLMs have the potential to be not only fun but genuinely useful. “Show me some bullshit that would be typical in this context” can be a genuinely helpful question to have answered, in code and in natural language — for brainstorming, for seeing common conventions in an unfamiliar context, for having something crappy to react to.

Aren't you arguing for the status quo then? There are very small amounts of software that can cause physical harm, and those are already regulated (medical devices etc).
You won't earn a prize for most secure, fewest bugs or longest uptime in our industry.

Days without incident is not a metric the software industry cares about, because it doesn't matter.

Our customers are vendor-locked in and because we have a market monopoly they can't do anything than accepting our conditions.

If only the state would regulate our industry, but that won't happen, because we will call the regulator a communist and then every regulation will be deleted from the agenda.
ASAN also checks for memory leaks like valgrind, the main difference with the tools is whether you can recompile all of libraries to get the compiler support for detection or whether binary instrumentation is better (https://github.com/google/sanitizers/wiki/AddressSanitizerLe...)

There is no need for a client/server model for most pieces of software, integration to existing cloud storage is far more useful than your server. Updates have existed for many years although less common as software was often more fully featured to begin with. There is still plenty of non subscription software that is out there, fully functioning, and of a high standard. Affinity is a key example.

I have always felt there is something fascinating going on behind Flappy Birds' infamous difficulty curve that warrants deeper study.

On the one hand, there is no actual progression or ramping of difficulty in the game itself. The difficulty level remains the same whether your current score is 0 or 10 or 100. But every new highscore represents a new summit that the player has to scale. The first and maybe the most frustrating summit to scale is scoring a single point. To get your score into the double digits, the player has to have basic mastery of the core mechanics - including the precise physics, and timings- and learn how to handle a certain number of scenarios. The obstacles on the path to triple-digit territory and beyond seem almost self-imposed. The fear and tension as you approach your own highscore is the biggest impediment to breaking your highscore. Once you break that highscore - the hand tremors magically disappear the next time you approach it, only for it to re-appear as you near your new highscore.

All this, when the basic concept of the gameplay is deceptively simple. Like i said, there are many layers to unpack for someone who is willing to look into it.
Flagged dead green anonymous coward unog: nothing personal about it, because you're not a person nor a member of this community, just a cowardly shadow banned anonymous racist troll.
Well, then target dead people. Find someone who died 6 months ago, have AI make them a blasphemer, have the sect look for dead people. After the third or fourth time, they'll stop. Not because they want to stop, but because they don't trust this being another prank by Mullah Achmed the Fool.
This. A subscription can work if a service is actually provided, as in regular updates, however I would say that's rarely the case and it's simply to make cash. Goodnotes, Pro Create, Affinity, all show you can make a fantastic product without a subscription and still bring regular updates.

Even if that's true (massive if) it's a meaningless assertion. You've still got to deal with several tiers of hardware vulns, the OS space, and figure out a way to provably secure any network traffic generated. "hello world" tends to be pretty secure in theory but it isn't particularly useful.

I had to get into IPv6 for real when I switched ISPs and the French Free relies on IPv6 for some services.

IPv6 is hard. You have to learn brand new concepts for something which is only a medium for your actual apps (I self host a lot).

I do not know if there would have been a way to make it more "advanced user" friendly but if the was, it's a lost opportunity to get wider adoption faster.
> I personally don't know what to think. I think the US framing of the situation is childish: "the Ukrainians wanted to leave and Russia doesn't want them to".

They’re framing nothing. This is literally what happened.

That’s irrelevant to the current situation.

> Even way back before Ukraine, people question why Russia has been kept as an enemy after the fall of the Soviet Union. Because they don't submit to the US hegemony? But they could be allies. India doesn't submit either, for that matter, but they are semi-allies. But not Russia. Because? We wouldn't be in the current situation if Russia wasn't antagonized so hard way back then.

Chechnya, Georgia, Ukraine, Syria. Constant meddling in business of other post-Soviet republics. Wow, poor Russia being antagonized by evil West!

The cost of epipens affects someone's ability to not die. Whether WP Engine contributes back to WordPress enough does not.

In fact, Mullenweg says WP Engine does contribute back, but not enough, and tries to justify it by saying they've "hacked up" WordPress. The latter statement has no legs to stand on (at least without real evidence). How much is enough? Should WP Engine be fixing bugs that don't affect their customers? Exerting influence by throwing contributors at wordpress to make upstream improvements that benefit WP Engine customers? I suspect if WP Engine did what Mullenweg is indirectly demanding, we'd get a "no not like that!" post.

It does.

After leaving Google I started working at a startup that runs its production environment on AWS. We debugged an issue and experienced exactly what you're describing: our MSK cluster refused connections. Eventually that was solved by rebooting something on their side. It took less than 24 hours from when we opened a ticket until the issue was resolved, with a few back-and-forth messages between us and the AWS support engineer.
Yeah, one CVE is literally "You can use the MacOS variant of LD_PRELOAD on the client to hook libc calls! Oh no!!" This is a bogus CVE; any application can perform arbitrary actions when its system calls are hooked, but it requires such a strong threat model that the adversary realistically gains no ground by doing so.

("A code injection in Nextcloud Desktop Client for macOS allowed to load arbitrary code when starting the client with DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES set in the enviroment")
Maybe you're right and it's not, but Python is definitely a Rube Goldberg machine of tutorials, libraries, and people who will tell you with a straight face that it's reasonable and expected to have 3.10, 3.11, and 3.12 installed alongside each other because reasons.

I say this as someone who writes a fair amount of python and whose package manager decided to install 3.10, 3.11, and 3.12 as dependencies.

Anyway, try explaining that to a bunch of business school people who are accustomed to just doing everything in the latest version of Excel, whatever that happens to be.

> What makes this difficult for me is that I don’t need to feel validated, I am comfortable with my own decisions in life and do not need someone else to approve.

I think you are conflating a lack of need for validation and the ability to self-validate.

It’s not that you don’t need any validation, it’s that you have the ability to provide yourself with the validation you need.

Don’t take that for granted. It’s both something to be proud of and a reminder that you aren’t so different from others.

Optimisation fits the service model neatly: Submit your LP instance in some standard format, wait while it chugs away, then download the result (objective function value and variable assignments).
> and I'm not even sure if people actually run GUIs with these legacy mainframes (plus the author's stating this will primarily support Linux, but are these mainframes even capable of running it?)

The next parapgraph sounded like they're concerned about bugs from not having the same integer representation as those systems:

> Passing 2's complement data to backend systems or front end sensors expecting 1's complement causes catastrophes.

I don't really understand their concern though--surely all actual C++ implementations that build QT apps and the platforms that run them are using twos complement anyway? Like, the C++ standard change is not making anyone change their integer representation, it's just telling the not-twos-complement people that they're on their own, right?

Of course I'm not surprised not to be following the logic since I have to count myself among "those who never went to college for Computer Science".
the original models can only generate sentence embeddings, correct?

can a token prediction model use this?

> Do you have one NC instance or do you federate (or plan to) ?

We actually have three instances. Currently they are running side-by-side but federation is planned, I think, starting October. Account management is still done in ADS and will stay there for now. SAML works as intended.

> Do you use the mail app ?

Yes, we use the Nextcloud Mail app without the AI features. Most people are using desktop clients, ie. Outlook, for daily work and it is important to us to keep Nextcloud Mail and Outlook in sync. Since the recent changes by MS new Outlook, it is also on the clock, but we are not there yet.

> Which applications do you use to replace sharepoint features ?

We used Sharepoint for centralized file storage, project management, and department sites and not much else. File storage is a given. For projects we moved to Jira some time ago, so little to do here. For department sites we use the Pico CMS integration.

> Do you use the business version of NC ?

Not yet. We are well below 200 FTE, so too small ;) We are interested, however, in the compliance and GDPR certification and we have already contacted their sales. But I don't know what became of it.

I feel like the Bullshit Asymmetry Principle is involved here. If the bar is lowered to the point where it takes less energy to generate inflammatory video "evidence" than it does to debunk it the shitheads win. I feel like we can all agree that AI has the potential to lower that bar.

Eventually it becomes a requirement for closing deals with companies who have compliance requirements with their own customers. But it’s expensive and time consuming, so only worth it if it’s actually blocking large contracts. You can use something like Vanta when you’re ready.
it is hurting sales and brand, the underlying problem is that to dramatically increase performance requires recomping both the tech team and the management and likely also the executives whose decisions shape and limit the org in the first place. In any org, the #1 priority for everyone involved is to keep their salary flowing, which means not replacing themselves with someone better.
Hey, thanks for the question.

You are right, this can only be used to distill models for producing embeddings, although it's not restricted to encoder-only models. For example, you could use it on Llama, but you'd just get a bunch of embeddings out, not a model that can be used to do next-token prediction.

Girls Will Be Girls: A Reading List on Consumerism in the Internet Age
Cars and game consoles kinda disagree with you. For example, Mazda (now exclusively built in Japan) is a fair compromise between quality and cost.

About software, I don't know. They seem to be very decent as far as research and embedded goes, even a bit of open source (I can cite https://github.com/guicho271828, https://github.com/fukamachi and https://github.com/cxxxr on the top of my head), but consumer software appears to be another story. I don't think it's for this reason, though.

I didn’t care in my teens and 20s and then suddenly in the last few years (in 35), i realized I cared tremendously.

Part of it I think is blows to my self-confidence, part is that when you have casual light social connections (school, the in-person workplace, I now wfh) you get this sense of people pseudo-caring about you.

But once that wanes (age and wfh) and you have you put effort into getting even the smallest amount of care from others. Which, in turn requires vulnerability.
Hi friends,

Just like how you are the traffic, you are also the mob

Mobs are not formal organisations with leadership and membership dues.

Mobs are general everyday people who are sick and tird of this miserable life and need an excuse to rabble and rouse.

So in this case, fake dead person's blasphemy will only be channeled towards their family members, mobs just need an excuse to get crazy.

AI is not what causes mobs, it just helps lower the incitement barrier by providing quality bait.

Actually they do, when faulty software powers something food related, anywhere on the delivery chain from the farmer to the point someone actually eats something.

EULAs are meaningless in many countries outside US law, most folks are yet to bother to sue companies because they have been badly educated to accept faulty software, while they on material world, that is something that they only accept on cheap knockoffs on street bazaar, and 1 euro shops.

Maybe that is the measure for software then.

And even those do require a permit for selling, in many countries, or some exchange of goods between sellers and law enforcement checking permits.
