True.

The modern company is a very very limited liability company:

- Cut corners so your jets crash and kill people (Boeing)?

- Cheat on emissions testing so your product kill people (VW)?

- Hush up drug trial results so you kills people (Pfizer)?

- Sloppy security leads to hundreds of millions of people's personal data being leaked (too many to mention)?

What happens to those in charge? Nothing. Perhaps they leave with a big golden handshake. If it's really bad, they get a don't do it again agreement with the Feds.

No accountability means no feedback/skin in the game. So nothing gets better.

It sounds like you think this research is wrong? (it claims llms can not reason)

https://arstechnica.com/ai/2024/10/llms-cant-perform-genuine...

or do you maybe think no logical reasoning is needed to do everything a human can do? Tho humans seem to be able to do logical reasoning
I think the transmission stuff was sperm oil, wax from head of a sperm whale. Which probably accounts for some of the confusion here. There were several different products derived from whales, if you're not aware of that you wouldn't expect to find sperm whale dome grease in a blue whale's bones.

The nomenclature isn't that clear, and none of us have first hand experience with any of them anymore so all of our knowledge about this is from third hand reddit TILs and moby dick.
At one of my first jobs, we had a couple of E450s and E250s. We also has an E3500 which was enormous! I remember that machine taking a good 10 minutes to boot.
Companies like Google and Cloudflare just really don't care that they host malicious content and have stopped taking meaningful action to take down reported content. That they'd be blocked at some point is completely unsurprising.

As it is, I have to explain to people regularly that clicking on "sponsored" links, or whatever Google calls them, doesn't work because we have to block "googleadservices.com" due to their hosting of malicious Javascript payloads. Certain very large companies that are very, very privacy and security focused insist on blocking known malicious Javascript hosting services, and Google is no exception.
This comment lives in a fictional world where there is a singular group that could have collectively acted counterfactually. In the real world any actor that individually went this route would have gone bankrupt while the others collected money by showing actual results even if ineffeciently earned.
And you're comparing that against what? That's 40,000 with regulation in place. Imagine if we let anyone drive without training.
Well hopefully I can fix that!

I think it’s that the accountability falls into the sink and doesn’t reach the decision maker. I still find accountability poorly defined, even after the effort. Clicking through to the definition helps.

It’s all kinda mushy. Being accountable is hearing and knowing a story. I don’t see why that has to correlate with decision power.

The point of the article could be made much more clearly by talking about systems that leave decision makers not aware of the consequences of their decisions. All the anecdotes in the article fit that pattern.

I think people don’t use the language of decision-consequences because it doesn’t capture an emotional aspect they’d rather not say out loud. They want the decision maker to feel their pain, they want the decision maker to hurt.

Decision makers can be aware of how many unready rooms are caused by less cleaning staff, how many flights they’re cancelling. I’d actually bet they are. But that’s not enough, the harmed person wants to tell their story.
Exactly. My favorite is probably "r s" or rebase subset: it is much more intuitive to use than remembering the order of the refs you pass to `git rebase --onto X Y Z`, and this happens to be something I do a whole lot since I use dependent branches to create dependent PRs.

My second favorite is "c F" or instant fix up.
Super interesting!

I wish tfa would have found some way to measure the PMS150C implementation the headline brags about, but even the PFS154 (2x mem, 3x price) version is super neat! Interesting to see how the net in particular is built at such small scale. I also wish they included numbers about performance like they do in their linked CH32V003 post. I'm wondering how quick these MCUs are compared to each other and e.g. OP's PC, and how hot they get under sustained load.
I really like this anecdote, and I very much think you're speaking for a lot of people here. Tech is tooling. Some people make a hobby out of the tooling, others merely use the tools to build something.

It's totally valid to make a hobby out of tools (e.g. motorcycles), but it's easy to end up with all sorts of highfalutin' opinions about how the tools must or must not be used, that hinge on minute distinctions that fundamentally don't matter to someone looking to merely use them as tools.
That is so blockchain: a solution that does not work and users do not need.

Blockchain only sees hashes, so it has no way of knowing if that hash of a new song that was just uploaded is really a remix. But, if you solve this somehow (and I bet you can't in a way that can't be gamed), people can just distribute remixes outside of blockchain altogether. No blockchain is going to help you collect royalties from youtube stream.

Second, "money distribution for remixes without trusted parties" is not a very common problem. If contract participants want to cheat each other, they can do it easily by lying about number of listeners, they don't need to do something trivially detectable like messing with contract itself.
From users' point of view, they only care about the performance really

Some e-commerce apps use React in WebView on Android and the apps will become unresponsive after visiting several product pages (more than 10 probably). They have to be force closed and opened to be used again
Forking ACF is not the issue, automatic is perfectly within their rights to do that. Hijacking the ACF WordPress.org page and having everyone who uses WordPress.org for plugin updates to auto update to the fork is the problem.
Yeah, I get what you're saying but both are challenging the current MatMul methods. The L-Mul paper claims "a power savings of 95%" and that is the thread topic. Bitnet proves that at least 70% is possible by getting rid of MatMul.
Narratives are unfortunately intrinsically very good tools for sociopaths to manipulate people. That makes them an attractive nuisance for sociopaths to gain at very best, just like how large piles of uninvested money serves as an attractive nuisance for thieves. Judged more harshly, narratives are a tool whose purpose is the promotion of delusion.
I quit Facebook and Twitter around 2010 or so. I quit Reddit maybe around 2018. I quit IRC in 2023. I haven't deleted my account on LinkedIn yet, but I haven't updated anything on there for a while now.

Reddit felt like an echo chamber. My biggest learning from combining social media and professional programmers is that in general most developers (90% or more) cannot measure things at all. Its the same in the real world too, but its just so much more noticeable online.
Any suggestions for a 101 introduction to random forests? In university I encountered some ML courses but never random forests.
Technically, yes. Though many early Internet providers used SparcStations and Ultras as "servers", generally either web servers or for shell accounts.
Ahh, this really helps. I think you should definitely mention that a change consists of commits (unless it already is and I missed it). This helps because the two questions I had before were "if I change some text, will the change ID change too?" and "does a commit end a change?".

Clarifying early on what exactly a change ID is, when it changes, and what the relationship between changes and commits is would really help, I think.
People got to have such idyllic jobs back then. Drive into town, then go set some watches. Are there any idyllic jobs left in the modern world?
Yes, but there was literally a parallel "SPARCserver" line of systems that were differentiated by lack of a graphics card and a server-oriented OS.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPARCstation

That being said, most orgs had little reservations about putting workstations into server roles, including every company I worked for, such as a regional ISP.
Did you completely misunderstand OP? The 10G Ethernet cables are not expensive. In a pinch, even your Cat 5e cable is capable of 10G Ethernet albeit at a shorter distance than Cat 6 cable. Even then, it can be at least a dozen times longer than a similar USB or HDMI or DisplayPort cable.

Wrapping network requests in naive procedure/function calls is definitely not the way to go, as many people have learned

(I've personally seen a good-but-inexperienced co-worker make that specific design error, on a failing project)

But you can express things other than naive calls within existing languages, e.g. by passing context around, which deals with deadlines, cancellation, and perhaps idempotence/retries

https://pkg.go.dev/context

I also think that "connectors" are primarily and OS feature, or platform feature, not really a language feature.

And I'm not convinced that most systems need to abstract connectors, i.e. to provide a way for the system to work over multiple connectors. I think the machine boundaries can usually be pretty firmly defined, and you don't change them that much

I think the tide has shifted. Marijuana laws are incredibly lax now and if anything this kind of plays into the “slippery slope” argument they tried to make for decades.
Wouldn't reduced power consumption for an unfulfilled demand mean more demand for Nvida as they now need more chips to max out amount of power usage to capacity? (As concentration tends to be the more efficient way.)
>What evidence do you offer that there is no chance of SpaceX succeeding in spite of Elon Musk?

Jeff Bezos founded Blue Origin in 2000, after revolutionizing e-commerce with Amazon.

Two years later, Elon Musk launched SpaceX in 2002, which has since surged ahead of Blue Origin.

Is that enough evidence?
Just like most people don’t understand the inner workings of software, a lot of software engineers seem to not understand there’s deep layers of skill and technology beneath things that many would deem useless, like fashion. I’d like to see more crossover between science and “regular people stuff” like this.

> It would turn into a smoking hole in the ground if it somehow caught worldwide attention.

This seems untrue? Of course I like HN, but from the perspective of a typical person, HN is an ugly, hard-to-use website with "news" that caters to a small fraction of the population and is likely quite uninteresting to the rest. I think this is why it manages to stay roughly the way that it is - that and extremely thorough and strict moderation to keep it that way.
It says "current" LLMs can't "genuinely" reason. Also, one of the researchers then posted an internship for someone to work on LLM reasoning.

I think the paper should've included controls, because we don't know how strong the result is. They certainly may have proven that humans can't reason either.
I have no idea. If you’re on the same LAN, I assume you can use LocalSend, although I haven’t had any luck with it on my corporate, segregated, network. I’m betting it doesn’t work with complicated configs or MAC address filtering.
I have the opposite experience, working in embedded (C, not Rust...). Building a synchronous API on top of an async one is hell, and making a blocking API asynchronous is easy.

If you want blocking code to run asynchronously, just run it on another task. I can write an api that queues up the action for the other thread to take, and some functions to check current state. Its easy.

To build a blocking API on top of an async one, I now need a lot of cross thread synchronization. For example, nimBLE provides an async bluetooth interface, but I needed a sync one. I ended up having my API calls block waiting for a series of FreeRTOS task notifications from the code executing asynchronously in nimBLE's bluetooth task. This was a mess of thousands of lines of BLE handling code that involved messaging between the threads. Each error condition needed to be manually verified that it sends an error notification. If a later step does not execute, either through library bug or us missing an error condition, then we are deadlocked. If the main thread continues because we expect no more async work but one of the async functions are called, we will be accessing invalid memory, causing who knows what to happen, and maybe corrupting the other task's stack. If any notification sending point is missed in the code, we deadlock.
I read all this thread and all I can say is not everything in the world is written down somewhere
Interesting thank you. It looks like an additional resource-usage model could work in OP's case. Though with financial transaction fees starting at $0.33 of that $1, starting higher at 3-5 might be more appropriate.
This is literally the definition of a low value individual that doesn’t follow through on anything. Common to see these types of people on hoarders with hundreds of 10% done projects all around the property and a cane for their fraudulent disability payments.

Boeing, a corporation facing criticism for its CEO's $20+ million compensation package and involvement in fatal airplane incidents and skimp out on safety because of its greed needs a break.
Hm why is there only a single syntax -> for a connector?

If different connectors have different semantics, as local and remote communication fundamentally do, then it seems like you want different syntax too

With a single syntax, it does feel like trying to be a "universal" connector

Even if you have a microcontroller, there are simple situations where the 555 can come in handy.

For example, switch debouncer could be solved in code, resistor+capacitor or other methods. But you know what's one of the best performing switch debouncers?

1-bit of memory with an analog comparator. Aka: a 555 Timer.

> 555 is useless without multiple extra parts

Not needed for bistable multi vibrator (aka: just a flip flop mode). Which happens to be the debouncer circuit.
"You're quite unlikely to find it in any competently-done commercial designs."

You'll find them in tons of commercial designs - your modern headlights (which I manufacture) and off-road lights use them in droves. Short-timed lighting like automatic UVC sterilization lighting and such also still relies heavily upon a 555 timer just to act as the on/off switch for the power driver pushing the LEDs.
The FOSS movement is not a monolith. There are many individuals and organisations pursuing many different goals, many of which are at odds with or even antithetical to the goals pursued by Fortune 500 companies.

The kind of company that won't touch the GPL with a ten-foot pole is not the kind of company that's looking to be a good participant in the FOSS space. The purpose or merit of appeasing them by switching to a non-copyleft license like MIT is not at all clear to me.

Some of the most powerful people in the world are not entitled to the free labour of under-employed hackers building cool things in their spare time without any expectation of reciprocating, which is the only significant thing that the GPL mandates which MIT does not.

"We'd use this, were it not for the GPL" = "we'd use this, were it not for the obligation to give our improvements back", which is a massive red flag. Fear of the GPL boils down to the simple fact that these entities don't care about FOSS, they just want to build their proprietary castles on top of public beaches.
What? Prada is a cutting edge fabric technology and garment manufacturing company. They have been working on the edge of fashion, which is nothing to scoff at. If you judge the world by headlines, please consider how much you’ll miss out on.

While I don't disagree with your point in general, it should be noted that there is more to taking responsibility than just paying. Even if Mercedes Drive Pilot was enabled, anything that involves court appearances and criminal liability is still your problem if you're in the driver's seat.

You haven't seen anything until you've spent a career working in and around measurement & testing bureaus which go back to the 19th century themselves :\

Which are only involved with much bigger institutions harboring their much larger, dissimilar but more dysfunctional and less-professionally-developed "inadvertent" bureaucracies which are most often layered on under emergency conditions.

Hint, the key word is work around.

Don't even think about it until you've spent however many years it takes to "master" the bureaucracy itself, working from within.

Before you even attempt your first workaround, or you could be shot down in flames without a parachute.

I've said it before but you can't herd cats unless you're a cat already.
SpaceX hasn’t had much competition for years now and they just pulled off catching the largest booster in history like a pair of chopsticks. I don’t think competition is what is motivating them.
Not only that but also LLMs "think" in a latent representation that is several layers deep. Sure, the first and last layers make it look like it is doing token wrangling, but what is happening in the middle layers is mostly a mystery. First layer deals directly with the tokens because that is the data we are observing (a "shadow" of the world) and last layer also deals with tokens because we want to understand what the network is "thinking" so it is a human specific lossy decoder (we can and do remove that translator and plug the latent representations to other networks to train them in tandem). There is no reason to believe that the other layers are "thinking in language".
Yeah. And that’s basically the thing, right?

If I need to hit a certain performance because the business has concluded that it matters, and React can’t get us there, then I’m likely switching to Svelte or whatnot.

If none of my tools can do the job, I’m going to the store and buying a new tool and learning how to use it. I don’t feel ideologically attached to my palm sander. I’ll buy a belt sander if the palm doesn’t make sense for a task.

what you’re describing is not someone who is accountable for something.

In the hiring example, perhaps the person A stops being accountable for hiring someone successful in the role, and rather they are accountable for successfully hiring persons B who is capable of hiring someone to fill the role.

Essentially creating an accountability chain. If you want to describe a logical chain of accountability instead as a “accountability sink”, then I’d go along with that.

It’s true that accountability chains can be difficult to keep track of and the longer they get, the blurrier they get.

The comments here are grossly oversimplifying this concept.
For calculations, of course it’s not simpler or faster. At best, you could probably make hardware where it’s close to a wash.

One that lectures on the importance of college you would think would demonstrate the critical thinking skills to ask themselves why the top supercomputers use 2’s complement like everyone else.

The only aspect of 1’s or sign mag that is simpler is in generation. If you have a simple ADC that gives you a magnitude based on a count and a direction, it is trivial to just output that directly. 1’s I guess is not too much harder with XORs (but what’s the point?). 2’s requires some kind of ripple carry logic, the add 1 is one way, there are some other methods you can work out but still more logic than sign-mag. This is pretty much the only place where non 2’s complement has any advantage.
Finally for an I2C or SPI sensor like a temp sensor it is more likely you will get none of the above and have some asymmetric scale. Anybody in embedded bloviating on this ought to know.

In his ramblings the mentions of packed decimal (BCD) are a nice touch. C, C++ has never supported that to begin with so I have no idea why that must also be “considered”.
Hmm, the analysis with respect to FOSS could also interesting. might make less sense to consider profit/compensation. Might be more useful to think of responsibility flows.. (or sources as well as sinks)
