1. Very easy to install and use, it is very well built.

2. Pro: Only two remote holes in the default install, in a heck of a long time!
Con: Less (pre-built) software than linuxes.

3. Something cheaper than a Razer-Blade.

4. You have not stated your requirements other than 'security', which if you demand no more than two remote holes in a very long time, then OpenBSD it is. If 'security' means something other than that you might want to go with a different OS.

I think a security-focused GUI Linux distribution using hypervisor isolation may be more secure in practice for desktop/laptop use than OpenBSD.

OpenBSD base system is designed to be a very secure server OS, but this comes at the expense of requiring you to read a lot of docs and figure things out when you leave the base system. Drivers may be annoying and 3rd party software that expects Linux will not work easily. It is definitely far off the paved road. If you want your computer life to be an Interesting Challenge or Hobby, it’s good, but if you want to just get stuff done it may be frustrating.

I suggest you look into QubesOS, which has put a lot of work and research into isolating GUI applications from each other using hypervisor. Its hardened Linux VMs with a hypervisor underneath and probably what I would pick if I wanted a “secure workstation OS”. It will probably work with more laptop wifi cards than OpenBSD. https://www.qubes-os.org/

It's not the use cases, but it works pretty well
It's relatively simple at the organizational level, just expensive (but linearly expensive, while often increasing subcomponent reliability is exponentially expensive!). Just give the same problem statement to two independent teams with two different managers, have a clear output format and success criteria, and let them make all their technical decisions independently.

Your example of "how do you transport yourself to work using two independent systems" is actually very apropos, because I and many other commuters do exactly that. If the highway is backed up, I bypass it with local roads. If everything is gridlock, I take public transportation. If public transportation isn't functioning (and it generally takes a natural disaster to knock out all the roads and public transportation, but natural disasters have happened), I work from home and telecommute. Each of these subsystems is less favored than the alternative, but it'll get me to work.

> What we call hallucination is usually when the model says something confidently wrong

This is a poor definition that only applies to language models trained to be truthful. If you trained a language model to lie, and it told the truth, that would also be a hallucination.

Or if a model was trained to never sound confident, and it made confident, but correct, claims.

My definition is more accurate.

> Yes the sampling procedure is nondeterministic but this is unrelated to hallucinations.

It’s not the only factor, but it’s absolutely related. It’s also really easy to explain in a comment.

For example, if you always sampled the lowest ranked token, the model would always hallucinate (by output mostly garbage)

Top-k sampling doesn’t eliminate all errors, unless you’re just always picking the most likely token. At that point the sampling process is deterministic, but we’ve seen model output be poor with that setting for reasons I explain next.

> that hallucination is a deeper problem

Of course, it’s because the training process itself is nondeterministic. We can’t make a perfect model, it’s just not how statistical models work.

- there are many web-browsers

- none of them matters, if your browser does not support features, like DRM, because firefox ships with these features

- it is hard to browse the web without a niche browser, as some sites do not work

The filesystem is much slower than other OSes ; how much this matters depends on your usage patterns.

OpenBSD is very well documented and if you are focused on security research or development it can be a good choice.

To get the 10.2 you should use the standard tricks to use % in math. For example in a two equations system [1].

x + y = 100
90% x + 80% y = 84

you translate it to

x + y = 100
90/100 x + 80/100 y = 84

and then you use the Gauss method (or whatever) to solve it.

So in a math class, when you see 20% you translate it to .2, and 10+20% means 10.2. But in a calculator and in the OP project the % button is magic and and 10+20% means 12.

[1] You have to buy two item that in total cost $100, but today there is a 10% discount in one and a 20% discount in the other so you pay only $84. ¿How much is each item?
I won't try to summarize here, but long story short, the conditions which led to the Fukushima disaster were well known and TEPCO was warned as early as 2000, but they did nothing to prevent it.

> We can’t just ignore online advertising - it’s a major driver of how the internet works and is funded

Sorry no, that thinking is patently false right there. So everything that follows is compromised.

Advertising has been made a major driver, actually the only driver. It does not need to be a major driver and certainly not the only driver. And, spoiler alert, it cannot continue being a major driver.

Yes, advertising is a big and varied business with at least one century of storied successes (and how exactly it is done can range from the outright immoral to various shades of ethical). But society and the economy is much, much bigger than advertising. They can easily fund (and do so continuously in a vast range of domains) the infrastructures they need to function properly.

The internet is not a platform for ads. Its the digital canvas on which pretty much all of current life unfolds and will do so even more in the future.

Some sort of digital advertising business will be happening in the market driven / consumerist societies that are the current form of socioeconomic organization. But it is parochial, backward looking and eventually a dead-end to continue ignoring the much more fundamental role of internet infrastructure.

If Mozilla wants to continue being relevant (as I currently write this on a firefox browser, I surely hope they do) they need to escape the adtech black hole and its reality distortion field.

Perhaps it's time the prize goes to the discovery itself instead of a person.
There's nothing personal to take. So you shouldn't take it personally.

Perhaps, instead we can think about how could it be taken it professionally..

There's equal or better qualified candidates for every position that don't make it to the table because of existing gatekeeping.

That would likely have the effect of helping borderline candidates who can fail upwards, maybe do that a little less... or level up.

What's curious is the presumption that one persons experience or interpretation (yours) doesn't mean a better perspective, experience can't exist.

Is it possible you might not be the only one experiencing DEI?

Gatekeeping has been a thing that's existed for a very, very, very long time. Often to the benefit of many of the people complaining about new kinds of space-making that affect gatekeeping that they didn't realize benefitted them.

This current wave of DEI is definitely early. It's not perfect. Neither was the gatekeeping that preceded it.

Other things that were early got a lot more leeway and understanding. But it can shows what some folks want to see happen (or not happen) one way or the other.

I find the inlined style can actually improve clarity.

A lot of code written toward the "uncle bob" style where you maximize the number of functions has fantastic local clarity, you can see exactly what the code you are looking at is doing; but atrocious global clarity, where it's nearly impossible to figure out what the system does on a larger scale.

Inlining can help with that, local clarity deteriorates a bit, but global clarity typically improves by reducing the number of indirections. The code does indeed also tend to get faster, as it's much easier to identify and remove redundant code when you have it all in front of you. ... but this also improves the clarity of the code!

You can of course go too far, in either direction, but my sense is that we're often leaning much too far toward short isolated functions now than is optimal.
That worse-is-better is self-reinforcing and that it's the only stable strategy in an environment with less-than-perfect cooperation (i.e. it's the only Nash equilibrium) may both be true at the same time. In fact, if the latter is true then the former is alsmost certainly true.

The real question is, then, whether doing "the right thing" is a stable and winning strategy at all, i.e. viable and affordable. As you yourself suspect, the answer may well be no. Not only because it takes a few tries to figure out the right foundations, but also because what foundation is right is likely to change over time as conditions change (e.g. hardware architecture changes, programming practices -- such as the use of AI assistants -- change etc.).

Not a single study cited in this comment either
It is if you look at it in a divisive, "us" vs "them" fashion. However, it's to try and make up for hundreds or more years of active suppression and exclusion from society and opportunities.

Ask yourselves, who paid for your education? Was it pulled up by the bootstraps rags-to-riches, or did you get help from e.g. family? Where did you grow up, and how did that contribute to your current career / life?

Now imagine you didn't have those opportunities, because your family (going back generations) never was able to build up generational wealth and comfort.

DEI is an attempt to make up for that. Is it ideal? No. Does it come across as discrimination to the priviledged people / classes? Sure. Does it personally affect you? Probably not, but I don't know you (generalised you, the reader).

That said, if you don't like DEI, vote and act accordingly. Work to make sure everyone earns a liveable wage, owns a house, gets a good education and consequent steady job opportunities regardless of familial wealth. Be and act anti-racist and anti-classist, because it's not enough to simply "not be racist".

While not addictive, I’ve made tools at work that people become dependent on. They were quick and dirty solutions to make things a bit easier than the manual process people typically did. If the tool broke for some reason, they’ll throw up their hands and think they can’t do the work anymore, instead of doing what they had done before it existed. They also won’t tell me it isn’t working, so I have no idea.

I really have no idea how to solve this. With one of the bigger ones, I handed it off to someone still in the trenches recently. He’s closer to the work, so it makes sense that he can see when it’s broken and be empowered to fix it himself. At the same time, he learns some new skills and reaches out to me when he has questions.

> There are few approaches that will accelerate the field of drug development and chemistry as a whole in a way that the works of these three people will.

As the author of one such approach, I'm skeptical.

AlphaFold 2 just predicts protein structures. The thing about proteins is that they are often related to each other. If you are trying to predict the structure of a naturally occurring protein, chances are that there are related ones in the dataset of known 3D structures. This makes it much easier for ML. You are (roughly speaking) training on the test set.

However, for drug design, which is what AlphaFold 3 targets, you need to do well on actually novel inputs. It's a completely different use case.

Pre-fill (even in the single batch case) and multi-batch decoding are still compute dominated.

Maybe to the letter of the law, but I think there’s a reason why no one seems to go after MakeMKV.

If you’re using MakeMKV, then almost by definition you have a legitimate copy of the media you’re ripping, and as such not a direct target of any kind of piracy prevention. Obviously you could then post your rip on The Pirate Bay or something, but I don’t think that MakeMKV is generally blamed for that.

I have a ton of Blu-Ray movies purchased legitimately, and I use MakeMKV to rip them and play them with Jellyfin. I don’t distribute them, I only play them in my house.

Am I technically breaking the law? Probably, DRM law is weird and confusing in the US, but I doubt that the MPAA has a huge problem with what I am doing, since I am paying them for legitimate copies of my movies.

Without seeing your schema, that sounds like a bit much, but maybe not. That is kind of the point of a relational DB.

That said, there's frequently islands of Indian and "the other" developers, in part that'll be cultural, but in part it's down to simply having a different job, expertise, department, etc.
