Indeed, but still wrong.

In 2014 i got myself a second- or third-hand thinkpad X220, released in 2011, off eBay. It came with 8gb ram (two 4GB sticks) but it supported 16GB ram as well (two 8gb sticks).

The laptop (Asus A8Jc) I got when I was a teenager in ~2005 came with a dual core intel cpu and 1GB ram. So "512mb desktops" are way older than that.
While there are obvious flaws with metrics as Rachel mentioned, there are equally bad flaws with leaving things to manager. Lot/most of middle managers are dysfunctional and don't at all work or care to provide the best review possible from their side. Should the team suffer because of this?

Aside, I think consistency is at least somewhat a good metric unless totally gamed. Not the number of PR merged or anything, but metric for coding activity time each day with a very low ceiling for completion, say 1 hours a day.
Does this explain some LLM behavior when they refuse to give up their position? I've heard about this and I've seen it myself. Not saying it's because of the architecture, but perhaps because of human conversations in the training data.
Worth noting that the non-free repos are not a part of Debian and don't get security support. The free Nvidia driver is not affected.
It’s a reasonable assumption. Some people are shorter than others.

Also, quite a bit of what we class as mental illness seems to be an overabundance of rationality. The existential dread of the depressed. The questioning of societal norms by autists. Neither are wrong, but both are socially dysfunctional.

Then, there are those of us who just can’t hack belief. “Just trust me, it’s true” was never an acceptable answer, and so I was a kid full of “why”, and am the same as an adult. If it can’t be explained, rationally and coherently within the context of everything else, it just gets put in a “maybe” pigeonhole and awaits further evidence or information. I form hypotheses, but they are not precious to me - I suppose for me because my identity isn’t tied to any concept in particular, and I’m quite acceptant of myself as a remarkable yet purposeless molecular Heath Robinson contraption. I also doubt that I am alone.

Am I perfectly rational? Lord, no. Do I think I manage a higher level of rationality than most, and have an… “unusual” life to show for it? Sure.
I read her other post from 2004 and i can't help but think you're throwing the entire thing out, baby and the bathwater and all.

I don't think you should make the metrics the end all be all (Goodhart's law), but that graph is certainly helpful if you can figure out who might be doing literally NOTHING for hours on end vs. someone who is productive at some level. All trying to "figure it out" at that point as a manager is just trying to cut through someone's bullshit when the data is right there.

Maybe it's more like 90% of the cases those metrics shouldn't be used to measure anything, but they can certainly point out "smoke" where there might be someone struggling and then you can be an actual manager and figure it out case by case.
We unless you have enough money to actually bribe the FTC and the European Commission (and equivalent in China and UK) then no, there are things that matter about as much or more than money.
Sometimes Perl uses "0E0" as a value that is equal to zero yet not false. Javascript has even more cases where equality isn't transitive.
How do you prevent that from recursing infinitely?
It seems a bit like a toss-up to me ... Taking examples from your landing page I can see some where there is less typing in JSON and some where there is more. For example, the book one - I counted the equivalent JSON and they were 128 non-whitespace characters vs. 127 non-whitespace characters.

Practically, at least for my editor, I had to type less for JSON because every paired character automatically inserts the closing equivalent. This is likely to work across a wide range of editors from the browser console to whatever else fringe text input field. Once you account for paired characters JSON wins at 114 chars. Of course if you had editor support for XENON it could also automatically insert some of the control characters, at the very least all of the > and the <$>, which brings XENON to 117 chars typed.

Anyway, I think you probably would've gotten a less strong response from people here if you had less absolute statements on the site ("better alternative", "the best way") - certainly there are going to be use-cases where this excels, but I can also see how the average simple REST API would be very unlikely to benefit from this, and the extra features may in fact expose it to more risk (e.g. the graph support, look at YAML and the CVEs it has caused over the years)

> I don't think you need an actual 3D world, wall clock, etc. The LLM does not seem to be meaningfully enriched by having a fancy representation underly the prompt generation process.

I don't know how you expect agents to self organize social structures if they don't have a shared reality. I mean, you could write all the prompts yourself, but then that shared reality is just your imagination and you're just DMing for them.

The point of the minecraft environment isn't to "enrich" the "inner world" of the agents and the goal isn't to "entertain" them. The point is to create a set of human understandable challenges in a shared environment so that we can measure behavior and performance of groups of agents in different configurations.

I know we aren't supposed to bring this up, but did you read the article? Nothing of your comment addresses any of the findings or techniques used in this study.
That just means as a tech-lead you end up not only putting blame on the (broken) tech but also blame the people right with it?

I don't think that is a smart thing to do within office politics.

I do agree that you can elevate people with potential, to build something of value with them, but I would stay away of trying to get people fired or replaced.
I assume this mirroring is due to symmetry being more typical than not among the training data, and if instead trained with contrived diversity (e.g., males only conversing with females) then the output of the base model would follow suit without pulling any levers?

It's interesting to think about what complete diversity (i.e., no tendencies toward homogeneous conversation partners whatsoever among training data) would yield, given that it's trying to deliver whatever is most probable.
Intel is not on the brink of bankruptcy, though. Unless things change drastically Nvidia would have a much harder time trying to buy them than they did with ARM.

Agreed, my answers did quickly go beyond the original point being claimed.

> I think that pledge and unveil are a type of sandboxing, certainly.

I think they are limitations and that's about it. They don't fit the metaphor of a sandbox IMO.

> but that strikes me as a slight variation rather than a fundamental difference in what is or isn't a "sandbox" per se.

Fundamentally I see a sandbox as something that is hard for the sandboxed application to escape, or even communicate out from except via limited well defined channels.

I don't think limiting syscalls alone satisfies that.

As a test, I think a robust sandbox should be able to apply to any program, no matter what it is doing.

Do you think pledge satisfies that? What about a complex piece of software that needs to use a number of syscalls that could be leveraged for an attack frequently, and so can't be meaningfully limited with pledge.

If that software has a vulnerability, the attacker now has access to the host system at least to the extent of the user the program was running under. That attacker certainly isn't sandboxed, they don't even have to escape a sandbox because there wasn't really one there, just 'concepts of a sandbox'.

Appreciating this discussion by the way!

This is indeed the evil timeline.
This is really cool. FWIW, existing open-source TTS engines are really bad in comparison to what you have here: I know this is voice-to-voice, but I think there'd be a lot of appetite to get this to also be multimodal and accept text (essentially making it a really good TTS model, in addition to a great voice-to-voice model).

I suppose someone could hack their way around the problem by finetuning it to essentially replay Piper (or whatever) output, only with more natural prosody and intonation. And then have the text LLM pipe to Piper, and Piper pipe to Hertz-dev. But it would be pretty useful to have it accept text natively!
NAT64 is a way for v6-only hosts to reach v4 hosts. I don't understand how that would apply here?

> They show it torching a wasp's nest

Note that in some countries, wasps are protected and torching a nest like this (or in any other way) is actually illegal.
I don't even look at the metrics for ICs. If a team has an underperformer I expect the lead to be handling that, with my support if necessary.

The metrics I find useful are things like trends before and after a change. For example, if lots of PRs are taking a long time to get through review because the descriptions don't get filled in well, I want to look at the time code spends in review before and after updating the PR template. Or before that, I want to see which teams have code in review for less time so I can look at their PR process and suggest changes to slower teams that the faster teams have already implemented. If a team is doing the same stuff as other teams but their typical PR size is much bigger I want to know if they have fewer stories that they should be breaking down further. And so on.

None of this is data I don't have a gut feel for, but having real numbers is useful for making a case for change. People don't always believe instinct. It's harder to argue with a well-designed graph.
> doesn't leave a large market for intel.

And yet Intel still had 3/4 of datacenter the market by volume at least a few months ago…

Of course they are struggling with maintaining their margins.
> I disagree, although I do not believe that this disagreement should have to affect some file formats, [...]

Ah, if you just want to make the UTF-8 requirement less strict for simpler decoders, that can be actually okay. My belief is more about legacy encodings like Shift_JIS.

I never seriously tried to fit any graph struture into a serialization format, so I don't yet have a very concrete opinion besides from what was already said. (I'm not even sure Concise had a good approach for that...)
Even if you insist on having these metrics and using them - it's another level of stupid to measure lines of code added instead of edit distance.

If I were an English author writing for a Chinese institution, the first thing I would do before publishing to the world is have my entire paper checked for spelling, grammar, syntax, and readability. It's cheap to have a Chinese-speaking editor, and/or to use AI—especially if that's your field—so why isn't it happening?

This paper, like nearly all other papers written by Chinese authors, is unacceptable, and should not have been published as-is. Even the primary example, turned into a hero viz, is grammatically nonsensical.

This seems like the motte and bailey thing.

Some of the oldest init systems made decisions that were sensible at the time but not so much now, e.g. when storage is hundreds of thousands of dollars per GB you don't want to log everything, when it's tens of cents per GB you do. But you can obviously make a non-monolithic init system that causes output to be stored to a log instead of being discarded.

So then systemd comes in, solves some of the old problems and independently, unnecessarily introduces new ones by being a huge monorepo that lacks clean and stable interfaces between its own components, inhibiting anyone else from providing a viable competing implementation of an individual component.

Then people complain about the latter and the defense that comes back is of the former. But that's no defense -- we could instead be making the good change and not the bad change.
2 comments already, be patient.
Intel has a high PE because they its barely profitable (in fact they operate at a loss currently). Nvidia because investors expect it to continue growing at an extremely fast pace. These are fundamentally different (even if they had the same PE it wouldn’t be comparable).
I don't agree with comprehensively.

for example timesyncd is barebones and not super accurate when it comes to timekeeping, while chrony and ntp actually manage the system time.

similar - systemd-boot is barebones, systemd-networkd is barebones (but has gotten more MVP-featured in a busybox way), etc

It seems you never had to work with that specific kind of people who write the tasks (no matter the size), but :

1°) don't know exactly what they want themselves, so the task is missing key points you discover while coding the task,

or 2°) are writing tasks for someone else and the communication is not good so some info is not clear or missing,

or 3°) the task is written too soon ("just in case") and needs external information to be complete,

or 4°) change their mind while you already begun to code

Now you're making it complicated again.

I think a good rule of thumb is:

* If you need it from a single process and it doesn't need to survive process restarts, just use basic in-process data structures.

* If you need it from multiple processes or it needs to survive process restarts, but not system restarts, use redis.

* If it needs persistence across system restarts, use a real DB.
If you have enough 4090s, you don't need to page in and out of disk: everything stays in VRAM and is fast. But it's true that if you just want it to work, and you don't need the fastest perf, Apple is cheaper!
Yes, but large price and low volume (and actual technical acceptance criteria) also means they're not gonna be obsessing over saving fractional cents on control panels.

I always like the centre console round knob in BMW, Audi and Mercedes. Clicky wheel type of haptic feedback and some buttons around it. They worked intuitively for me and you could pair them with a touch screen.

He basically simulates jump to catch by hand. I understand the authority of Rob Pike, but don’t understand why this idea is great.

Processes IRL don’t look like write() three times. They look foo(); bar(); baz(); quux();, which weren’t designed to cooperate under a single context. If only there was an implicit err-ref argument which could be filled by some “throw” keyword and the rest would auto-skip to the “catch”.
Aha, yeah, the keto hype is the pendulum swinging the extreme opposite way, and yeah there is a middle balance. I think keto is also an attempt to "cheat responsibly", because people have a hard time saying good bye to sweets, so all kinds of fancy keto sweeteners are promoted. But yeah I think it's eventually a bit futile, you're trying to fool yourself, and in the long run that doesn't work.

I think it is actually largely a psychological story. Food is like an addiction, a way of distracting yourself from the struggles of life. And addictive food (candy, snacks, fast food) is just the kind of drug that is easiest available to most people, and it's not illegal or necessarily looked down upon, even promoted in many ways (birthday cake). So that is why it's one of the bigger problems in society.

And the solution for addictions is not taking away the drug, because the desire is still there, and will eventually sip through in some other way. The way to deal with it is to look into the root cause of what is lacking in the life of the user causing it to try to fill up this hole in it's life with this drug. And then have a proper way of treating that, while also learning more about nutrition, because people have also just forgotten what healthy food is and how to make it.

I made an Elevnty website for my partner's business. It was a great experience. It worked well and was easy to code.

After I came back to update it 3 years later by cloning the repo and running 'npm i' I got a bunch of errors. Working through the upgrade process failed. I couldn't get it running again.

I dumped the HTML from the live site, changed that directly, and just uploaded that to S3 to host it. I don't think I'd bother with Elevnty again. It's great for making a new site, but the long term maintainability isn't there. To be fair, this is on me. I should have done more to keep it running, or pinned the dependencies, or something.
That's terrible.
