Refactor your code doing crazy data mangling on functons? On Lisp you just redefine functions/macros with ease. With the rest of languages the complexity raises exponentially.
That is absolutely wrong. Regardless of whether you were or not good to begin with, an LLM assistant will still accelerate a lot of repetitive tasks for you. Repetitive is repetitive, no matter if you’re John Carmack or the guy sitting in the booth next to you in the paper company. And anyway in a few years none of it will matter because programming without assistance will be a vintage thing of the past (like perforated cards).

It’s the same with writing. If you find yourself writing a boring introduction section to a paper with a bunch of meaningless blabla, then why wouldn’t you use AI for that? There is simply no good reason, especially when you see mediocre researchers publishing at three times your rate and getting promoted over you.
What do you mean by thread safe exactly? Instead of Python I would use Typescript or Rust or possibly Go.

If you have an LG TV, ACR tracking is ON BY DEFAULT and you need to turn it off manually. It is well hidden, in settings, "Additional Settings", "Live Plus" needs to be switched off.

Exactly. And it makes sense: think about how much one would have to pay for an artist to do the same? It’s simply inconceivable. The convergence is clear: we just won’t care about anything anymore after a while. Writing, art, whatever; it’ll all turn into noise.

The bonus here is, it's a client base unable to help themselves. Akin to selling medicine to a hypochondriac. I envision entire divisions doing deep-research into clients, with sliding scale cost.

I Made a Rubbish Clock
Wow there is a lot to unpick here.

1. I think all the pubs he mentions have gone.

2. He was born and raised in Chelsea. That’s pretty rare now - Londonnhas undergone a paroxysm of middle class selling up to wealthy (foreign) investors
and I would be amazed if any architects today could be born and raised there.

3. I love the detail of the balance bars on the pub lanterns. They are all gone because an electric bulb can operate even when swinging - but a candle or gas just need to remain upright - wow.

4. Cars - cars are hardly mentioned because this was 1966 and you could drink and drive, you can park anywhere because most people did not have / need a car

5. Men not families - again still the sixties

6. The rise of food and Gastropubs - it’s rare a pub can survive on drinking alone and being part of the lunchtime food trade is almost as profitable as evening drinking

Our “third spaces” do matter and reflect on us in interesting ways - going to come back to this article :-)
Renewing the certificates seems technically pointless, but some organizations/federations require it.

Rotating the keys would make some sense, but just swapping the cert for a new one issued against the same keys doesn't. It's the easiest way to fulfill those requirements, because you don't need to synchronize the metadata updates, the signatures are always valid with both the old and new cert.

I think the number of people interested in running ML models locally might be greatly overestimated [here]. There is no killer app in sight that needs to run locally. People work and store their stuff in the cloud. Most people just want a lightweight laptop, and AI workloads would drain the battery and cook your eggs in a matter of minutes, assuming you can run them. Production quality models are pretty much cloud only, and I don’t think open source models, especially ones viable for local inference will close the gap anytime soon. I’d like all of those things to be different, but I think that’s just the way things are.

Of course there are enthusiasts, but I suspect that they prefer and will continue to prefer dedicated inference hardware.
That’s the ideal way forward in my opinion. My optimistic view of the future is one where we get so fed up of the noise that we only write what is absolutely necessary, because anything more than that is AI-generated.

>it's what capable and smart people value and pursue that makes all the difference.

How do you know capable and smart people will keep having good values? Seems to me that it's true until it isn't - populism takes over politics, ideology takes over the humanities, science gets Goodharted to death, etc. Values are highly circular - we value what high-status people in our (sub)culture value, and you become high-status by getting what people value. This holds for smart people as well.
On an LG TV, ACR tracking is deceptively called "Live Plus", and it is on by default. I was very careful not to opt in to anything, but they it was still on when I discovered it. Also, you apparently do not own your homescreen, it's their property to do with as they wish.
Do you get weird checkerboard patterns as well?
I don't know, it's possible for a person to pay no attention to anything. Therefore it isn't always maxed out. Also the "quality" of attention can vary. I think the time spent looking at things has increased, but the level of focus and "deep attention" paid to things has likely fallen over time.
It's the most blatantly corrupt thing I've seen our government do in a long time. It made things worse for everybody, to the benefit of a few gambling bosses and absolutely nobody else.
When I was in university, I experimented with an alarm app called "sleep as android". I had set it up so I had to scan an NFC tag to turn it off, and for that I used a spent subway ticket I kept in the kitchen.

I think it's fair to say the "why not inject yourself with bleach!" people shouldn't be running the show while there's a class of people who do what people tell them without questioning whether it's a good idea. People in power have a responsibility not to suggest things that would kill people. That isn't a high bar.
Use a query expression instead.
Well it’s a model just like a Mindstorms NXT (This guy https://www.lego.com/cdn/product-assets/product.img.pri/8547... ) is a model of human bipedal walking. It’s very simplified and basic but that basic idea is there.

A model doesn’t have to be useful to study the thing you’re modeling, you can also just be interested in the output because it’s simpler than using the original thing. Modeling a human brain with a neural net and using it is simpler than directly simulating a human brain, so that’s what we do. Not being useful to study humans brain on doesn’t mean it’s not a model.

> One of the reasons is that we can make nuclear bombs out of it.

Are you talking about a dirty bomb? Spent nuclear fuel from PWR/BWR do not contain the right isotopes of Plutonium. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactor-grade_plutonium

> People currently value not getting nuked more than clean and unlimited fission energy

This looks like a false-choice. A choice between the presence of nuclear weapons vs unlimited fission energy might be slightly fairer, but many countries have a civil nuclear program without nuclear weapons.

> With renewable energy power plants, you can use normal security

Non-"normal security" is not a great cost for a nuclear power station (1+ GW). 50 extra staff might be 5M USD a year extra, so 0.60 USD/MWh more. Scaling to more reactors per site would give economies of scale.

> You need to provide accountability to IAEA to prove that you don't smuggle those plutonium away to make nukes.

Accountability is good; tracking where each fuel bundle is and goes is fairly standard practice (at least nowadays), no? Audits don't have to be a pain if their requirements mesh with the business processes.

> This is really sad as they're throwing all the good fuel away from the waste.

The Plutonium is good stuff for breeder reactors. The depleted Uranium bulk is less useful, as we have thousands of tonnes already sitting around. Perhaps the most interesting aspect of reprocessing is the extraction and vitrification of fission products. Less bulk, splitting the higher activity products out of the bulk, reducing the storage requirements.

> there's no way we can remove those expensive safeguards

Rules can be changed. De-escalation is possible!
When I wrote about trust, I see that I made a mistake: most people seem to have understood it as being in regard to fake things. I just meant trust as in, it’s not AI-generated.

Your comment about the fluff is exactly what I mean. I read some fluff that is AI-generated and some kind of disgust happens in my stomach, and I wish there was nothing written there at all. I just feel like it’s be best to not read anything than read something that’s AI-generated… it’s almost like the author is trying to trick me with a fake version of reality. I wonder if there’s such a thing as the uncanny valley for text?
If you don't legalize it, it will still happen, just in a more clandestine way.
Yes, this is the problem with any kind of nuclear reactors: cost of upgrade is too big, so it's cheaper to risk life on a continent than to fix a reactor.
Not really. It uses S-expressions but Scheme pattern matching is totally different. The most common Scheme pattern matching syntax is basically the same as pattern matching in any other language: x means “bind the value at this position to x”, not “the child node of type”. See: https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/manual/html_node/Pattern-... or syntax-rules.

It’s as much a Scheme dialect as WASM’s S-expression form is a Scheme dialect.

Treesitter’s query syntax is slightly understandable in the sense that having x match a node among siblings of type x works well for extracting values out of sibling lists. Most conventional pattern syntaxes struggle with this, e.g. how do you match the string “foo” inside of a list of strings in OCaml or Rust without leaving the match expression and resorting to a loop?

But you could imagine a syntax-rules like use of ellipses …. There’s also a more powerful pattern syntax someone worked on for implementing Scheme-like macros in non-S-expression based languages whose name escapes me right now.
TL;DW: Linus Åkesson basically live codes a step sequencer on the C64 in BASIC
I mostly agree but we should understand that the costs of dealing with the waste are not negligible. I’m pretty agnostic about nuclear power. I used to believe it was necessary but renewables and batteries now seem the more cost effective and a far faster way to reach 90% carbon free electricity.
Your dev setting up the local environment and getting it running is a great filter. Get rid of them if they can't.
The raw VM files are stored in ZFS nested datasets (datapool/vms/{vm1,vm2,...}).

A cronjob makes a daily snapshot of the running machines (of the datasets), maybe resulting in slightly corrupted VMs, but every now and so often I shut down all vms, make a scripted snapshot of each one and restart them.

Then I extract the raw VM files which are in the snapshots onto a HDD and run an md5sum on each of the source and target files and get the results sent to me via email.

All of this is automated, except for the shutdown of the VM and the triggering of the snapshot-making script which follows the shutdowns.

Apparently there's "domfsfreeze" and "domfsthaw" which could help with the possible corruption of daily snapshots.

It's all not really a good or solid strategy, but it's better than nothing.
It may seem this way from an outsiders perspective, but I think the intersection between people who work on the development of state-of-the-art LLMs and people who get replaced is practically zero. Nobody is making themselves redundant, just some people make others redundant (assuming LLMs are even good enough for that, not that I know if they are) for their own gain.
That discussion is largely about themes and plugins. Severe vulnerabilities in WP Core are quite rare.
Are you implying that proprietary UNIX wasn't written in C? Or that (like the internet perhaps) it was basically a research prototype with minimal support for security or reliability that was accidentally (and perhaps inadvisedly) turned into something that people use and depend on?

Is anything googleable in 30s? It feels like finding the right combination of keywords that bypasses the personalization and poor quality content takes more than one attempt these days.
Who isn’t? Can you rely on your readers to rebel against AI and value more your writing than that of your peers? If one of your competitors write 10 articles while you write 1, and charge 10% of what you charge, they already equaled your wins. Raise it to 20% and they are already making twice what you make. Can you really trust that your writing is so good and so incredibly special that someone would be willing to pay 10x more for your content, against one that was assisted by the absolute state of the art of a technology that has revolutionized the world?
There’s a lot of codevelopment happening in the space where the positions are evaluated by Leela and then used to train the NNUE net within stockfish. And Leela comes from AlphaZero. So basically AlphaZero was directly responsible for opening up new avenues of research for a more specialized chess engine to reach new levels than it could have without it.

> Generally considered to be the strongest GPU engine, it continues to provide open data which is essential for training our NNUE networks. They released version 0.31.1 of their engine a few weeks ago, check it out!

[1]

I’d say the impact AlphaZero has had on chess and go can’t be understated considering it’s a general algorithm that at worst is highly competitive with purpose built engines. And that’s ignoring the actual point of why DeepMind is doing any of this which is for GAI (that’s why they’re not constantly trying to compete with existing engines)

You can claim whatever you want on the Internet. I have seen no evidence from you (links/articles/books etc.) regarding your knowledge of the subject domain and hence do not have to take you seriously at all.

You are making a public display out of your ability to harm those who you feel have wronged you. It is understandable that some users might want to, in light of this, reduce your ability to harm them. It is also, in a way, understandable that you would not want to help them do this.

AMD Strix Halo, to be launched in early 2025, will have a 256-bit memory interface for LPDDR5x of 8 or 8.5 GHz, so it will match M1 Pro.

However, Strix Halo, which has a much bigger GPU, is designed for a maximum power consumption for CPU+GPU of 55 W or more (up to 120 W), while Lunar Lake is designed for 17 W, which explains the choices for the memory interfaces.
Seems the norm is many places. I think it has been the law of the land for 40 years in California and nobody seems to care. having friend getting a DUI for trying to do the sleep it off instead of driving home seems like a standard coming of age story.

If anything, the consensus is we need harsher DUI laws and enforcement.

I guess that the effectiveness of terror weapons has nothing to do with how many people are directly harmed.

Even simpler would be to find a radioactive source (medical, irradiation, industrial radiography). Small quantities, in a portable package, but geiger detectors would definitely be able to detect the fallout.

There is this establishment push to push news down our throats as people turn off their outlets.

Like algorithmic feeds in general. And e.g. the Windows startmenu and what not.

Tradionally people chose what news publishers to follow. Like, it was one newspaper that you liked politically or journalisticly.

News used to be opt-in and you chose your affiliation. The angle of the publisher was known.

Nowadays it is a joke. A washed out joke. You need to go for the more radical political papers to get what most papers used to be in the 90s.

It's not all about attention.

Most companies are still in it for the money, and attention is only a means to an end.

For the idiotic narcissist leaders that pop up every now and then, attention might be interesting by itself. But luckily for us, there's just very few of those. Most of our government bodies are comprised of people who actually mean to do good, and just a bit of attention to some important matters suffices.

A lot of that is just experience from practice. If a person has solved a given problem before they will be able to do it faster the next time.

Another part of that is simply being hypo neurotic, low fear. If a person is hypo neurotic those conditions are just not stressful at all. For example being shot at by a violent aggressor is stressful but not writing code at a different time of day. It’s hard to explain unless you are that person or personally know someone who is. It’s also apparently a massive gaping hole in psychology. Neuroticism is generally viewed as negative, so the less of it the better. That does not account for the extreme states, that bottom 2%.
