I'm a bit confused. While the demo looks amazing, I feel it is quite misleading along with some of the wording they use.

> It’s not clear to me why we’re still trying to encode all of human knowledge in a single model, instead of teaching the model how to look for answers from an external source (e.g. RAG).

To be fair: we tried a primordial version of that with venue-weighted citation-based ranking and it worked INCREDIBLY well for 10+ years. Then myopic profit motive poisoned the well. Ever since then we've been searching for solutions.

We do so by allocating resources in a way that primarily leverages a scientific credit assignment system that fetishizes... checks notes... venue-weighted citation-based ranking.

Jokes aside: I remain convinced that the O.G. google search appliance on prop data and then simply ignoring all academics remains the best knowledge retrieval (or whatever) tool available.
For historical reference:

> The first algorithm intended to be executed by a computer was designed by Ada Lovelace who was a pioneer in the field. Grace Hopper was the first person to design a compiler for a programming language. [0] Throughout the 19th and early 20th century, and up to World War II, programming was predominantly done by women; significant examples include the Harvard Computers, codebreaking at Bletchley Park and engineering at NASA. After the 1960s, the computing work that had been dominated by women evolved into modern software, and the importance of women decreased. [1]

What a crazy history, and wiki entry. My supposition is that as soon as it started to become even slightly obvious that software was going to eat the world, the dominant social paradigm prevailed.

[0] WTF, how is she not way more celebrated? She invented the effing compiler!

Even then it seems like a crapshoot whether or not it works, because somehow if you become highly infective but otherwise are flying under the radar you'll still be detected and suddenly all governments start closing up shop... or at least that was the case in Pandemic II.

Table 1 in the Appendix. GSM-No-op is the one benchmark that sees significant drops for those 4 models as well (with preview dropping the least at -17%).
No-op adds "seemingly relevant but ultimately inconsequential statements". So "change names, performance drops" is decidedly false for today's state of the art.
I think you have to watch for such terminology as it fetus is a much better word, otherwise you let reporters sneak in their own personal biases instead of using neutral terminology.
> The underrepresentation of women in open-source software is frequently attributed to women’s lack of innate aptitude compared to men

???

Yeah there's still some sexist assholes around like this, but this is hardly a mainstream opinion in most circles imo.

I'd say a more common explanation these days is lack of interest, rather than aptitude.

This seems like it can be super useful - lot to go over but want to focus on running commands in containers. Having a clean and elegant way of executing LLM commands in a containerized environment is definitely better than running on a single VM/machine. I do wonder how something like this would run in a containerized application though - can you define the "host" to be a kubernetes control plane?

Note that the container link on the homepage to https://microsoft.github.io/genaiscript/referenc/scripts/con... seems to be broken.

Edit: Okay, taking a deeper look - this seems to be a separate runtime on top of node - "$" seems to be global and files are defined as .genai.mjs and run through VSCode. I see that there's a way to run via CLI as well: `npx genaiscript run proofreader path/to/files*.md`, but I wonder what the rationale around these design decisions are. It seems like it's tying these files to a different runtime - can I use them directly in Node or Bun as part of an API? Something like "import {templateStr as $, def} from 'genaiscript'", then use it normally in Node?
> The underrepresentation of women in open-source software is frequently attributed to women’s lack of innate aptitude compared to men: natural gender differences in technical ability

Maybe I'm just of a younger generation, but I've literally never heard this in my life. The assumption among people my age has always been that women just generally aren't interested in software development at the same rate that men are; not that they're naturally worse at it!
Not that this invalidates your comment, but why do you put yourself through ads? Block them.
Apparently g-code is language for 3d machines / CNC.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-code
Setting aside the questionable methodology, I expect a lot of gigs are far more accepting of mediocrity from a man than a woman, so women doing software development are much more likely to self-select out if they're not up for it— whether in actuality or due to imposter syndrome.

In any case, I would generally agree with your take but express it a bit differently— the group of programmers who really blow me away with their ingenuity and commitment to excellence has significantly more women in it than the larger population ratio suggests should be expected.
> liability should be on corporations selling the LLM as a solution

I agree. There was a period of time (don't know if it's still the case), where Microsoft Windows licenses/ToS expressly and explicitly did not warrant the use of the OS for a whole bunch of critical use-cases (e.g. anything with the word 'nuclear' in it). If the vendor doesn't warrant it for that use, then you'd be remiss in your duty to your company to ignore that and choose to use it for that purpose. Caveat emptor.
Case-insensitivity is also an option in ZFS, but honestly case-insensitivity drives me nuts, especially if it's not case-preserving. Oh, that reminds me, ZFS is form-insensitive, and form-preserving.

I agree, we need something that emphasizes that it executes undesired functions. "Trojan horse" would fit better but it's associated with computer virii now. I think I would call it something like "Traitor software".. it generally does the functions you installed it for and pretends to be normal software but then when you aren't looking it betrays you later.

> Donald Trump Concedes...

Hm, maybe the prompt is too tightly constrained.

There is historical precedent for Donald Trump refusing to concede a presidential race, as seen in the 2020 election when he did not formally concede to Joe Biden and instead launched numerous legal challenges, citing unsubstantiated claims of election fraud.

But I concede that no such outcome is represented in the FiveThirtyEight dataset.
Hearing heath experience lol... marketing droids gonna market

Anyway I haven't seen anything indicating this "new" hearing health stuff is anything more than just a new test app. For a long time now you could already use a third party hearing test app like Mimi, save the audiogram to Health and apply it to phone, music and transparency. It sure seems like Apple just wrote their own test app and hyped it to the moon.

I was hoping there would be an improvement in the custom transparency sound but nope, it still sounds like you live in a plastic tube when enabled. Oh well.

Try any AI tool to write basic factor code.hallucinates most of the time
Agreed.

The way I explain this to managers is that software development is unlike most work. If I'm making widgets and I fuck up, that widget goes out the door never to be seen again. But in software, today's outputs are tomorrow's raw materials. You can trade quality for speed in the very short term at the cost of future productivity, so you're really trading speed for speed.

I should add, though, that one can do the rigorous thinking before or after the doing, and ideally one should do both. That was the key insight behind Martin Fowler's "Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code". Think up front if you can, but the best designs are based on the most information, and there's a lot of information that is not available until later in a project. So you'll want to think as information comes in and adjust designs as you go.

That's something an LLM absolutely can't do, because it doesn't have access to that flow of information and it can't think about where the system should be going.

>Does a carpenter blame their hammer when it fails to drive in a screw?

That's the exact problem. I have plenty of screwdrivers but there's so much pressure from people not in carpentry telling me to use this shiny new army Swiss knife contraption. Will it work? Probably, if I'm just screwing in a few screws. Would I readily abandon my set of precision built, magnetic tip, etc. Screwdriver set for it? Definitely not.

I'm sure it's great for non-carpenters to have so many tools in so small a space. But I developed skills and tools already. My job isn't just to screw in a few screws a day and call it quits. People wanting to replace me for a quarter the cost for this Swiss army carpenter will quickly see a quality difference and realize why it's not a solution to everything.

Or in the software sense, maybe they are fine with unlevel shelves and hanging nails in carpet. It's certainly not work I'd find acceptable.

Pre match group buyout OkCupid was peak online dating.

It was marvelous to spend time crafting a profile that was tailored to the kind of people you wanted to meet and to read profiles that were written the same way by others for you.

I found the section with questions that you could answer and provide context for to give me insight into prospective dates and I felt like the percent match was actually accurate.

I'm curious about government run dating sites but I have low expectations. Not because I think that the government couldn't pull off a dating app in theory, I just don't know how they would market it and if it would be a hit and reach a sufficient network effect to work.

I'd be more open to the government forcing dating sites to open up their algorithms and do away with horrific dark patterns.

I've been talking to my friends about this and we've all agreed that online dating is a complete waste of time, we're looking at stuff like speed dating and group activities in real life instead.
Well yes, it's the most reasonably priced upgrade. But when you start upgrading the other options and you come into expensive computer territory it becomes another thing that you need to drop cash on when it feels like it should be default at this price. Many NAS have 2.5G or 5G interface now, so it's not like there is no use case at all...

Does that mean you just don't bother encrypting any of your data, and just use unencrypted protocols? Since you can't inspect the ICs that are doing the work, encryption must all also be security theater.
Doesn't this get to one of the fundamental issues though, that many of these frameworks and languages are poorly constructed in the first place? A lot of the times people turn to web searches, Stack Overflow, or AI is because they want to do X, and there's no quick, clear, and intuitive way to do X. I write cheat sheets for opaque parts of various frameworks myself. A lot of them aren't fundamentally difficult once you understand them, but they're constructed in an extremely convoluted way, and there's usually extremely poor documentation explaining how to actually use them.

In fact, I'd say I use AI more for documentation than I do for code itself, because AI generated documentation is often superior to official documentation.

In the end, these things shouldn't be necessary (or barely necessary) if we had well constructed languages, frameworks, libraries and documentation, but it appears like it's easier to build AI than to make things non-convoluted in the first place.
Could someone please explain what I'm looking at here? Am I the only one mystified?
TL;DR - guys on average seem to have more lint errors
Base VM images would be a rare and specific workload. One of the few cases dedupe makes sense. However you are likely using better strategies like block or filesystem cloning if you are doing VM hosting off a ZFS filesystem. Not doing so would be throwing away one of it's primary differentiators as a filesystem in such an environment.

General purpose fileserving or personal desktop/laptop use generally has very few duplicated blocks and is not worth the overhead. Backups are hit or miss depending on both how the backups are implemented, and if they are encrypted prior to the filesystem level.

Compression is a totally different thing and current ZFS best-practice is to enable it by default for pretty much every workload - the CPU used is barely worth mentioning these days, and the I/O savings can be considerable ignoring any storage space savings. Log storage is going to likely see a lot better than 6:1 savings if you have typical logging, at least in my experience.
Huh? A promise to keep people employed? If it's not in the contract, it hasn't been promised. You're fan-fictioning a promise that was never made to manufacture an ethical issue that's not actually real.

If the contract says you'll get 60 days notice and you don't, that is a broken promise (and an actionable breach of contract). Firing someone you hired is not a broken promise. You don't have to be a Milton Friedman disciple to refrain from gaslighting about employment being a promise to keep people employed forever.
Running games in a VM appliance or an immutable container type of environment could be neat. Or some kind of hardware device. Like a console on an expansion card that could enable a secure environment while still letting you use your hardware.
It was probably generated with an LLM and as far as I can tell it does seem like complete nonsense.
Refactoring is improving the design of existing code. It shouldn't change behavior.

And regardless, the way you prevent loss of important functionality isn't by hoping people read docs that no longer exist. It's by writing coarse-grained tests that makes sure the software does the important things. If a programmer wants to change something that breaks a test like that, they go ask a product manager (or whatever you call yours) if that feature still matters.

And if nobody can say whether a feature still matters, the organization doesn't have a software problem, it has a serious management problem. Not all the coding techniques in the world can fix that.

That's not really possible as long as the kernel allows the loading of arbitrary user-provided modules. Because the cheater will certainly run the cheat that requires kernel mode. If it's run in kernel mode, the API call can be intercepted.

How does the anticheat then work? Corewars. It's a cat and mouse game between the cheat provider and the game developer.

One would need a secure base layer, where also the MS anti-cheat lives, and all drivers can only run in a layer between this base layer and userland. I think that's already done for most of the graphics stack.

On the other hand, I am not convinced I want a system where I cannot load arbitrary kernel mode code if I choose to do so.

> There's also waiting 1-2 minutes for green light on a pedestrian semaphore while the street is entirely empty of cars.

That's the way it works in Belgium: you wait sorry-out-of-luck for two minutes. Needless to say I've been raised (by myself) a jaywalker.. In neighboring Luxembourg you have the exact same traffic light, obviously built and sold by the very same company, looking identical except that the traffic light poles in Luxembourg have a button which pedestrian do press. And if there's no traffic, it becomes instantly green for the pedestrian. Actually even if there are cars, it'll very quickly turn green for pedestrians.

As a sidenote it is obviously safer to cross a street even though the signal is red for you while there are zero cars than to cross that same street when the signal is green for you and an incoming car is slowing down. I mean, I know, it's my right and the car should eventually stop. But I don't give a flying fuck about rights and fatality and rules if the car hits me.

I'll never stop jaywalking.

"So, the delta in price/performance between Cerebras and the Hoppers in the cloud when buying iron is 2.75X but for renting iron it is 5.2X, which seems to imply that Cerebras is taking a pretty big haircut when it rents out capacity. That kind of delta between renting out capacity and selling it is not a business model, it is a loss leader from a startup trying to make a point."

As always, it is about TCO, not who can make the biggest monster chip.

Yep, a lot of headline readers here.

It's just a very advanced autocomplete, completely integrated into the internal codebase and IDE. You can read this on the research blog (maybe if everyone just read the blog).

e.g.

I start typing `var notificationManager`

It would suggest `= (Notification Manager) context.getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_MANAGER);`

If you've done Android then you know how much boilerplate there is to suggest.

I press Ctrl+Enter or something to accept the suggestion.

Voila, more than 50% of that code was written by AI.

> blindly committing AI code

Even before AI, no one blindly accepts autocomplete.

A lot of headline-readers seem to imagine some sort of semi-autonomous or prompt based code generation that writes whole blocks of code to then be blindly accepted by engineers.
January 1st became the start of the year about half a century before Jesus was born.

The opinion says at the time the warrantless search occurred, one appellate court had already held "that no warrant was required in those circumstances" (p 42). Only a year after the search occurred, did another appellate court rule the other way.

This is the main argument that the search met the good faith exception to the exclusionary rule (i.e. the rule that says you have to exclude evidence improperly obtained). This exception is supported in the opinion (at p41) with several citations including United States v. Ganias, 824 F.3d 199, 221–22 (2d Cir. 2016)
