> The first step is to run a bootstrap script, then run a tailor made playbook for each situation.

Up to you, but just in you weren't aware: ansible has a `raw:` task which enables one to run anything that the `connection:` transport tolerates, which can go a long way toward getting rid of any extraneous shell scripting

Further toward that goal, I found that PyPy is "untar and go" for every distribution that I've cared about, so even getting python on the machine can similarly be bootstrap friendly
What seems to happen is that after there is an initial surplus of value or benefit in any business - perhaps some of it going to customers, some of it going to service users, some of it going to employees, etc. - eventually someone in charge identifies and implements a way to tap that benefit and turn it into money that is absorbed by the company.

And with a monopoly, some of the surplus simply vanishes as deadweight loss.

Google makes nearly $500K in profit (out of $1.6M in revenue) per employee. It seems possible that they could potentially bring back some of the old work environment, or maybe even reduce overall encrapification, but there is little incentive to do so.
Has nobody heard of paying dividends? It is a perfectly acceptable way to have a company with stable profits. But no, anti-capitalism cliches combined with warmed-over rapture logic and Marx's idiotic teleological view of history.
Using a single model to unify all image generation tasks, including many computer vision tasks and visual language reasoning, could transform future image generation models. Although some capabilities, like text-to-image, aren't perfect, it's a significant advancement. The model's ability to integrate so many tasks with strong instruction-following skills is impressive. I'm excited about the broad impact OmniGen could have on future research.

It’s just expanding one’s network and recommending good, filtered matches to one another.
How about they just recheck when there is data to show their previous decision is wrong?

What's the point of looking at the same data every 15 years?
My theory all along was that they spent maybe 20 billion on Reality Labs and the rest was for Zuckerberg's secret volcano lair but it's getting to a point where that can't really justify it either. Maybe they're working on the weather control laser now?
At least it appears they didn't hide the power button on the bottom.

Before firing hundreds of people, did the CEO relinquish their bonus or lower their and other executives’ pay?

Executives from these billion dollar companies would do just fine if they went a year without pay. How many laid off employees can say the same?

That would be “taking responsibility”.

People get mad because these phrases prove how wide the gap between them and executives is. How deep into capitalism we are.
I'd like to think so. If Google didn't provide some useful goods (Pixel phones) or services (Google Cloud) then it would be a purely financial company.

I'm not really sure what you're saying here. My point was that the market for talent is not particularly competitive, with the opinion of interviewing.io given as an illustration of that.

You seem to be confirming that the market for talent isn't competitive - in your view, companies have more applications than they want.

Or maybe you're going for a different point? For the suggestion, my experience is that companies won't consider direct applications either, and in the general case do not ever even list junior positions. (An observation which is not unique to me; see e.g. https://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2022/07/fr... )

If you're worried that I'm implicitly slamming interviewing.io for claiming to do something very different than what they actually do, I don't think you've rebutted that - "if people perform well in our interviews, we will introduce them to top-tier companies as long as we think their resume looks good" isn't particularly similar to "if people perform well in our interviews, we will introduce them to top-tier companies, regardless of how they look on paper".
No you are not
I wouldn't be so sure. Life has taught me that people will accept damn near anything in order to get the entertainment they want. If you worked your way up to the point OP describes slowly, over time, I wouldn't be at all surprised if people shrugged and said "it's just what you have to do if you want to play those games".
Reddit tells everyone that only rich people drives cars.
Yes confusing "taking responsibility" with taking responsibility is a pretty easy mixup.
Aren't the "dark patterns" for dating websites mostly just a massive asymmetry in the number of guys vs girls?
This was mostly pre-internet days. Maybe the internet is just making everything worse.
This array is a bit long-in-the-tooth and only has 192GB of RAM, but a bit over 40TB of net storage, which would be a 200GB dedup table size using the back-of-the-envelope estimate of 5GB/TB.

A more precise calculation on my actual data shows that today's data would allow the dedup table to fit in RAM, but if I ever want to actually use most of the 40TB of storage, I'd need more RAM. I've had a ZFS system swap dedup to disk before, and the performance dropped to approximately zero; fixing it was a PITA, so I'm not doing that anytime soon.
No thanks, meta software is terrible
133kg to 93kg. But I am a big guy, 188cm, so I think my absolute min weight would be 87kg, perhaps a bit more now that I am older.

To be honest I do the cardio mostly to stay healthy, I am not convinced it contributes much to the weight loss. I had to pause the cardio twice for a week while on holidays and lost the same amount of weight those weeks. I do take vitamins supplements though.

In term of meal, I take some supermarket ready meal, typically pasta. So it's not even an unpleasant diet. But just that for the day, no dessert. I think cutting sugar is key. I do allow myself a glass of red wine in the evening.

Now I am no doctor, I don't necessary recommend it, it is just that it worked for me, and allows to make an intense but concentrated effort. Another downside of a fast weight loss like that is loose skin, will probably take a few more months and some weight lifting to remediate that.
It helps to understand your misconception. Less than a fourth of the US armed forces are in or will ever get put into a combat role.
I’m a fan of their software and pricing.
This is exactly how I think of my 404media subscription.
Has it occurred to you that the stronger control of the ecosystem is a feature that supports the convenience and integration that's possible?

This is just the "Why not Linux desktop" argument from the past two decades. Sure, in theory it can be configured to do a lot of different things. But you're probably gonna have to work out the details yourself because the downside of theoretically supporting everything is that it's impossible to just have it work out of the box with every single scenario.
the problem with restaurants and broadway is that you've already spent the money on those things when the going is good, and can't claw it back retroactively when the going is bad.

That's why a budget is necessary, and you plan for emergency (of which a layoff is one). Saving up for an emergency fund means you don't spend on luxury until it is saved, which means no broadway or restaurants (unless you're super highly paid, in which case it'd be quite fast).
> historically a large chunk of this problem was solved by communities hosting servers

Yes and no.

I lived through that era too, and there are serious scaling problems: at some point, trying to banhammer griefers with rotating IPs becomes a full time job, and then the public servers turn into a dumpster fire.
> That’s probably something we could solve for, but it hasn’t been a big deal so far.

I did see the "it doesn't bother me" part, but for others looking to speed up mass provisioning don't overlook ansible-pull <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/10/cli/ansible-pull.html>

It's also handy for keeping systems in a desired state but I use it a lot more for "clone this when you boot" times hundreds of devices. Error recovery is left as an exercise to the reader but mostly a matter of configuring log egress early and having sane health check policies
I think you just nailed the paradox of Go's popularity among developers, managers are obvious.
I'm surprised Greg Bear never came up here. I started with Blood Music, but I've enjoyed many of his books.
The whole article is pretty confusing to me. It's never made at all clear what this event was supposed to be about or why this specific set of people were there. Presumably it wasn't "invite people who run 'shadowbanned' sites" when they don't acknowledge that there is such a thing. So what was it, then?
A Carl Sagan AI would be fun and almost somehow appropriate.
That kind of stuff is readily available right now with openCV. Image detection has been very good and very fast for a long time!

Nobody really cares because most players are honest and play to have fun.

Which seldom includes the full error information from the transaction. There are about fifty error codes, and they can come from various places in the merchant to issuing bank chain.[1]
Dumber web sites tend to assume it's the customer's problem. Once or twice I've had that happen. I call up the bank, and they usually tell me the transaction never reached them. This is sometimes a problem with low-end point of sale systems.

Did you mean to post that to a different subthread?

I'm familiar with FPS networking, however I'm talking about a trend where a customer-machine is designated to act as a game-server, so that the company can avoid paying to host one in a dedicated but more-secure fashion.

If that machines happens to be the attacker's, then their scope for chicanery is so much greater than just wallhacks or aimbots.

For example, they might temporarily or permanently grant everyone equipment that is otherwise locked behind some grind-wall, where the company hopes to make money selling a "level boost". While not totally malicious, it's definitely a "hack" the company will oppose.
Ok, so how about an example?

Forum threads aren't a great measure of cheating though, given the toxicity and inability of the average gamer to admit "the other player was better than me."
I totally agree that they’re a local maximum and they don’t seem like a path to AGI. But they’re definitely kinda reasoning systems, in the sense that they can somewhat reason about things. The whacky process they use to get there doesn’t take away from that IMO

This is a false dichotomy. Genshin is single player. Some people play multiplayer only with friends. The only legit use for anti-cheat is competitive multiplayer with strangers.
Your typing just shouldn't lag behind your thoughts. Once you are fast enough, working on it will have diminishing returns.
> Is the wiki entry entirely wrong?

Yes. The reference it cites contradicts it: "The first algorithm intended to be executed by a computer was designed by Ada Lovelace" with a link to https://www.cs.virginia.edu/~robins/Ada_and_the_First_Comput... which says "Many people, for instance, incorrectly claim that Ada was the first computer programmer. (Babbage, not Ada, wrote the first programs for his Analytical Engine, although most were never published.)"
ZFS compression is for sure at the block level - it's fully transparent to the userland tools.
I don't think you even need timing attacks if you can read the zpool statistics; you can ask for a histogram of deduped blocks.

Guessing one byte at a time is not possible though because dedupe is block-level in ZFS.
/s aside
Its actually incredibly hard to to figure out which people to cut in an efficient manner. It is one of the reasons companies suck so bad at doing it, and many avoid layoffs and firing when they should be doing more of it.
Not claiming to be smart people, but it depends on what you mean by "available." The fastest probe that we could launch soon is a sundiver solar sail. It requires no new magical technological leaps. It has been explored mostly in service of the solar gravitational lens concept. [0]

The sundiver probe could go 547 AU in 17 years. Voyager 1 is at 162 AU. So around 5 years.

I suspect they're referring to changes to Gatekeeper in recent macOS versions: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/08/macos-15-sequoia-mak...

It used to be that you could run any third-party application you downloaded. And then for a while you'd have to right-click and select Open the first time you ran an application you'd downloaded, and then click through a confirmation prompt. And macOS 15, you have to attempt to open the application, be told it is unsafe, and then manually approve it via system settings.
Meta has stunted VR development by monopolizing the talent and the marketplace. They act like they are the benevolent stewards of the future metaverse, but just like with Facebook, all they want is to dominate and productize the world’s attention.
> The other 75% is the stuff you actually have to think about.

I’m pretty sure the actual ratio is much lower than that. In other words, LLMs are currently not good enough to remove the majority of chores, even with the state of the art model trained on highly curated dataset.
I opened the website in his profile and joined the discord.

Yes there's a discord for this.
Seems to be genuinely popular. I can see why, but when there's so much 'real music' out there, why not just listen to that and enrich yourself instead of bathing in fake nonsense? If you want jazz, just put on a jazz album — hell, even Kind of Blue will do.

I'm not sure all (or any) of it actually is AI though. I assume that's coming very soon, but I suspect this stuff is cynically and methodically hand-composed.

By the way: I have nothing against generative composition! Brian Eno has been doing this stuff longer than anyone else, and it's very cool. I'm sure you could make some 'generative jazz' that's actually distinctive and artistic, but this isn't it.
There was a law passed in NYC a couple of years ago requiring drivers not to enter a crosswalk if pedestrians are in a crosswalk. I have no clue what you're talking about.

This is a totally idiosyncratic definition of "worth". If I say a company is worth $100 a share, that doesn't imply that you could simultaneously sell every single share for at least $100
Agreed, though different people have different thresholds for "enough". 100 WPM seems to be conservative enough for most people including me though, so that is a good target.

I can't really read the article as it went down for me so the article may have already mentioned this, but I think touch typing is a bit more important than the raw typing speed, which heavily depends on the exact text and personal conditions.
There’s a cool CSS vignette effect on this webpage that I hadn’t seen before.

That the author of the post wants such parts to be available and affordable as hardware you can put under your desk instead of something you only get to rent at Googles fickle will until they cancel it too.
What I mean specifically is that because the police saw illegally obtained evidence, all evidence collected afterward after that point should be considered fruit of the poisoned tree and inadmissible
I think that at least partially the negativity is due to the tech bros hyping AI just like they hyped crypto.
And when your typing does lag behind your thoughts it makes coding a huge chore. Asking for changes in PRs becomes a huge burden.
Sorry, but the “nuclear is too expensive “ argument doesn’t hold up, considering cheap, modern reactors are being built as we speak in countries without a strong political resistance(EU, US).

Take the UAE for example, who are experts at large scale energy projects, they have constructed and commissioned 4 nuclear reactors, on time, on budget.
To say that it’s not possible, is not true.

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

Full disclosure, I work in the energy sector, world wide, including the UAE.

I am also a proponent of solar. Cheap energy replaces the need for manpower.

Yep, same here. I have a dedicated gaming machine because I’m afraid to expose my banking information.
Huh! I regularly max CPU for long stretches (game development), but I found I could only get the fans to move if I engaged the neural cores on top of everything else. Something like a 20+ minute video export that's using all available compute for heavy stabilization or something could do it.

The M3 is much more typical behavior, but I guess it's just dumping more watts into the same thermal mass...

For a lot of the content they were trained on, it seems like the easiest way to predict the next token would be to model the world or work with axioms. So how do we know that an LLM isn't doing these things internally?
Literally anything a philosopher or mathematician invented without needing to incorporate billions of examples of existing logic to then emulate.

Try having an LLM figure out quaternions as a solution to gimbal locking or the theory of relativity without using any training information that was produced after those ideas were formed, if you need me to spell out examples for you
maybe most of the code in the future will be very different from what we’re used to.
For instance, AI image processing/computer vision algorithms are being adopted very quickly given the best ones are now mostly transformers networks.
Typing fast isn’t important for coding, or writing, or any kind of productive tasks. As long as a person types fast enough to get the job done, it’s not the bottleneck. Thinking of what to type is the bottleneck.

But I have recently come to realize there is one task for which typing fast is very important. That task is real-time text chat.

Among my friends in our chat server, and among co-workers on Slack, some people are much more chatty than others. They write more messages. They write longer messages. They have more involved conversations. They have the greatest amount of participation.

Others do not chat as much. I’m sure they have their own reasons, and that’s fine. It’s not right or wrong to participate more or less.

But I realized one day there was a very strong correlation. The people who participate the most are all people who are sitting at computers with keyboards (mostly mechanical ones) and are very proficient at typing. They can all type at least as fast as they can think.

People who use their phones more often, or are slower typists, can’t keep up in a text conversation. If they try to write a long complex thought the conversation will pass them by. They can only get out a shorter sentence in time, and that really puts a damper on their communication. It’s like someone with a quiet voice trying to get a word in a very loud conversation.

This really clicked for me recently when a co-worker admitted to being a very slow hunt and peck typist. They are an excellent engineer, so it’s not a problem there. However, this person is also the person who loves to do Slack huddles all the time. It all made sense. I was absolutely overwhelming this person in text chat with an entire paragraph of ideas before they could peck out a sentence. Of course a huddle is easier for them.

I would like to make a suggestion to slow typists out there who have to use real time text chat. Either learn to type fast and/or start using speech to text features.

Thanks for dropping by!

I'm going to be honest, I'm still confused about what I'm looking at.

I tried listening to the NotebookLLM podcast you've embedded, which makes it sound like this is primarily directed at non-programmers (people who want to "run for the hills" when they hear the name GitHub). But then your README looks more targeted at web programmers who want to write TypeScript-like code.

When I get to the rest of the README, I'm unclear what "JavaScript-ish environment" means. Does that mean this is something like AssemblyScript, a subset of TypeScript? If so, why did you decide to do a subset instead of a library?

Addendum:

As I'm going over the README again, trying desperately to make sense of it, I found this:

At least I now understand my confusion.

To restate more precisely: It is well-established that December 25 is a highly unlikely date for the birth of Jesus.

Children and people who have only a superficial knowledge of Christianity might very well believe otherwise. But they are poorly-informed.

Arguments against include:

a) Calendar dates are generally fuzzy from that period, particularly for events that are not formally documented. So the likelihood of anyone ever having known the correct date is very low.

b) The mythology around the birth does not match the seasonal expectations for late December (more likely springtime).

c) Dec 25 was chosen in 336 AD, by church decree. Prior to that, there was no holiday nor even a strong claim of any specific date.

d) Dec 25 was already a festival day for pagan celebrations of Saturn (Rome) and Mithra (Persia), which was likely a factor in the choice of date, to coincide with existing customs.

There are no substantial arguments in favor of December 25 being the accurate birth date of Jesus.

Not an expert, but: the curvature of spacetime is modeled as a tensor field (the metric tensor). That field can have (classical) waves in it, which is what LIGO detects (I believe). Then you can certain hypothetically quantize that field, in which case it definitely has to be a spin-2 particle and it seems likely that there will be a way to do it since all the rest were.

The "geometry" comes from the fact that the way we measure distances (or, well, experience time) uses the metric tensor field to do it. But it is still ultimately just a value attached to every point like any other field.
I think we're long past the point where this is a realistic scenario at least in 99% of situations, what does actually still happen though is coming across articles that fearmonger such for profit whether or not it's true. Those articles tell newcomers they are inferior and do not belong while pretending to be on the newcoming reader's side, despite exploiting them.
