It's a proprietary edge connector that connects the dock and the mini PC, but it carries standard PCIe, so it's at least twice as fast as Thunderbolt.

To me all of these Mini PCs are essentially uselessly uninteresting without fast network connectivity. When is an actual vendor that is not Quotom or whatever ship one with 10GBaseT or SFP+/SFP28 ports already?
If it did, it was well before I ever began to work on PyPI. By the time I came around, PGP signature support was vestigial twice over and the public key discovery network on the Internet was rapidly imploding.

(But also: having PyPI be the keyserver defeats the point, since PyPI could then trivially replace my package's key. If that's the "whole story," it's not a very good one.)
Just a heads up: The first thing the coding challenge asks you to do is choose a Node track or a Django track in order to complete a number of simulations including stuff about full-stack development. I was very confused as to what this had to do with Data Engineering infrastructure and tooling. I never did get clarity on that and we're not moving forward.
It can simulate basic problems well enough when viewed as a black box. Give it one of Galileo's experiments.
I applied for a mortgage today through my bank. Before the automated “next steps” email could hit my inbox my phone was already ringing and ringing and ringing. About 10 minutes straight of automated spam callers that are watching who knows what public ledger on now.

I guess it pretty much means retiring this number next year. I’ve inly had the number a little over a year and the spam has slowly crept up despite best efforts to give fake numbers where possible.
Oh, it's terrible.

Azure, last I knew, required RSA SSH keys. (Attempting to give a new VM an ed25519 key just fails.)

GCP's project switcher … like why can't I just search by project name? Instead, it only searches the current org, and unfortunately, my org uses multiple GCP orgs, so I'm all day switching between orgs in the project switcher.

GCP: I have no idea what the deal with the sidebar is, or why it died. The search box is okay, but why can't services be just preloaded, and the search done locally? Nuanced search through docs might require an AJAX, okay, but "clusters" should match GKE instantly.

GCP: IAM won't show inherited permissions if you don't have getIamPolicy on the thing that the perm inherits from. This can result in weird situations where, e.g., you have editor on a project, but it won't show up in IAM.

GCP: I swear the API cannot decide if it's a "region" or a "location".

GCP and Azure: various UI processes will create multiple objects, and it's not clear that that's what is happening. In the long run, this hampers a user understanding how the various bits all fit together.

GCP: some objects require other objects. I hate hitting this, as GCP's UI will refuse to validate the form, as it sees the field with the dependent object being empty. But GCP's UI won't let you enter anything into the field, either, because it's a drop-down combo box, and it only loads its values when the page does. So even if you pop into a new tab, build the dependent object, you can't add that new object to the form without reloading the page, which wipes the form. This makes filling in the UI O(n²). Literally, I've had my RSI flare up on these forms when they have 3, 4 of these.

Azure: the portal will redirect/reload like 8 times during log in. What on earth. Also, their "SSO" seems to have forgotten what the first "S" stands for. Then, 2FA requires unlocking a phone, and entering a code. Their 2FA app has a terrible delay between prompting you, and surfacing the keyboard. Add to that that the login sequence has a short timeout, and sometimes you can miss the window just trying to complete the 2FA flow fast enough.

GCP is my current cloud, so while there's probably more quips here for them, it's just because I'm using them. Out of the big 3 (AWS, Azure, GCP) I actually think they're alright. Either #1 or #2.

… most of these clouds have no material means of issue tracking, so quality issues shouldn't really be that shocking. There's no way to bug report it! (And no, Azure, some dinky "feedback portal" where I can upvote at most 3 bugs … is not a bug tracker. Customer support portal != a bug tracker, either.)
ELIZA was probably more effective than most therapists.

Definitely cheaper.
Eh. Swift isn't my cup of tea; you're much more likely to find me at an industrial metal show. However, she's crazy talented, and her music is well-produced and wildly catchy. She's really good at what she does.

Along those lines, I'd never pay to see Britney Spears perform, but "Toxic" goes hard.

Their music shouldn't make you dislike them. It's not objectively awful, not by a long shot. If anything, just acknowledge we're not the target audience and move on.
That's a good point! I don't actually think there are any file-buying services which enable re-selling the files bought - if these files are not tied to physical media, that is.
The social graph described in the article is what you see in a high school or small community or anywhere material productivity is not important. Relationships and attention are the source of value.

Other than gdb, I can't name any Unix C source code debuggers.
I believe they were working on Unix before GDB was created (wikipedia says gdb was created in 1986 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gdb).

That’s the inspiration behind the idea, but it doesn’t seem to be working in practice.

It’s not true that any element, when duplicated and linked together will exhibit anything emergent. Neural networks (in a certain sense, though not their usual implementation) are already built out of individual units linked together, so simply having more of these groups of units might not add anything important.

I think that 99% of the bottleneck is not research for basic health, and the value of research is vastly over stated for things like nutrition, health, and exercise.

A new study isn't going to convince people people to stop being obese, exercise, and take care of themselves. A study that shows that sleeping longer or eating a Mediterranean diet has a 5% improvement in some metric has almost no specificity to you.

Research is important for the 1% of the time your health is already in crisis, When you are picking between medications or interventions after.

Even then, personal data on what works for you should always trump the research, because it is statistical in nature, usually with extremely high variability. If drug A works 51% of the time drug B works 49% of the time, the difference between them is almost meaningless. You want to know which drug your body responds to. In the clinical context, I think people and doctors overvalue how much time and effort to spend figuring out where to start, and undervalue how much effort to spend responding to personal data if it works or not.

Interesting. Why?

I mean, you just implement a bytecode interpreter in JS and run that.

> layering the Smalltalk VM on top of the JavaScript VM has worked out quite well

How has this worked out well?

The VM described is ~100 times slower than the already not so super-fast Squeak bytecode interpreter. The only reason this works at all is that machines today are ridiculously fast.

It pains me that we waste all this incredible performance on ridiculous amounts of layering.

Yeah, this is a total click-bait article. The claim put forth by the title is not at all supported by the article contents, which basically states "old codebases riddled with tech-debt do not benefit very much from GenAI, while newer cleaner codebases will see more benefit." That is so completely far off from "AI will make your tech debt worse."

Can't those "more subtle costs" be pulled out of the product cost itself and offered or at least expressed separately? Say customer support, if it'd be offered as a paid service instead of "free" as in baked-in-product-cost, thus giving the customer a choice to either go for that easy-pick fruit of available paid support, or the alternative of investing more of their own effort into figuring out and solving the encountered problems by using the docs available to them, or maybe giving up on the problematic use-cases in the first place? Or tariffs - is it bad to let the customers know that there are cost differences in the product offered to them due to their request coming from different tariff-impacted markets?
Andrew addressed this in the comments:

Regarding storytelling: Thomas Basbøll and I have argued that stories are important not just for communicating science to others but also in doing good science.

My perspective here is:

1. Fictional stories are an informal sort of predictive model checking, in which the process of working out a story is a way of understanding the implications of a scenario.

2. Nonfiction stories are a sort of prior predictive check, where the unexpected twist that makes the story so satisfying represents a revelation of some aspect of reality that confounds our expectations, that is, does not fit with our implicit or explicit model of the world.

That second point is a bit murky but this is a comment on a blog :) Here is the much more detailed paper he co-wrote with Basbøll: http://stat.columbia.edu/~gelman/research/published/storytel...
Interesting, I had the exact opposite experience as a student at a public university in California. There were meter maids patrolling the parking lots constantly, and it was common for people to be ticketed within minutes. It must have been a huge revenue driver for the school. The enforcers were so zealous I received multiple tickets despite having a valid annual pass displayed clearly in my window, which I then had to burn time fighting to get dismissed.
Having some follow up questions designed to promote particular services actually can be OK. I regularly use pplx, but the follow ups tend to have a lot to be desired anyway, as much of the time they're just a rewording of a previous question, and I do at times get to the point where I'm looking for recommendations.
I was replying to this and only this:

"In the past, there was some informational benefit for average Joe/Jane. Without internet, finding apartments, knowing which neighborhoods, buildings, or landlords were good or not was quite difficult."

Which I helpfully quoted at the beginning of my reply. I then (at the end of my comment) clarified that I was talking about 30-40 years ago.

I suppose if GGP has just as poor reading comprehension as you appear to have, they might have gotten confused. Which would be a shame.

Not sure where you are trying to go with this, but pretty much everything with an embedded CPU runs some form of Linux, alongside nearly each and every cloud server in existence. Countless lines of code are compiled with GCC and linked to the GNU libc every second. The GPL is as inextricable from our modern information society as blood is from our bodies.

Why is grey goo implied? Send one probe per solar system. If two probes meet each other, have them pick a random number to decide who flies off to find another solar system or into the sun.

If there were probes here, are you sure you'd see it? Why do silly reports being mixed in change the liklihood? If they don't, couldn't a single report that was real be in the mix? Ok, maybe a few?

So, saying "*some* don't resemble self-replicating probes" doesn't really invalidate anything?

It seems like this is difficult to know what it would present as?

This doesn't sound right; meat spoils. If you've just killed something, it would be a lot of effort and danger to kill something else, all for almost zero benefit.
> Unless you think it's not possible to figure out problems and you can only do them by rote memorization?

It is not possible to solve a problem from scratch. You must first invent the universe, as they say. Any solution you come up with for a new problem will build upon solutions others have made for earlier problems.

In the current age, under a real-world scenario, you are going to use AI to help discover those earlier solutions on which to build upon. Before AI you would have consulted a live human instead. But humans, while not what we consider artificial, are what we consider intelligent and therefore presumably fall under the same rule, so that distinction is moot anyway.

Which means that, without access to the necessary tools during the interview, any pre-existing solution you might need to build upon needs to be memorized beforehand. If you fail to remember, or didn't build up memories of the right thing, before going into the interview, then you can't possibly solve the problem, even if you are quite capable of problem solving. Thus, it ends up being a test of memory, not a test of problem solving ability.

And for what? AI fundamentally cannot solve new problems anyway. At best, it can repeat solutions to old problems already solved, but why on earth would you be trying to solve problems already solved in the first place? That is a pointless waste of time, and a severe economic drain for the business. Being able to repeat solutions to problems already solved is not a useful employment skill.
I think people are missing the contribution of bootc and composefs. This is a big part of what undergirds Red Hat's new 'image mode' means of deployment. They're using container-related tooling to deploy whole operating systems, and it's a large part of where they're headed.

I write this to say, "This is not them dumping abandonware." To me, it's them putting these technologies under the supervision of a neutral third party to encourage adoption.

People have been saying that since I was in school in the 90's. I've never found it to be helpful. In fact, even back in the days when there were still jobs to be had, by far the worst jobs I ever held were the ones I was referred into. The reason was pretty obvious at the time - the person who referred me in had to "talk me up" so I was starting in a position where I could only disappoint. The "cold applications" didn't have huge expectations, so when I turned out to be good at what I was doing, they were happy to see it.

When you have a site with a fixed, tiny amount of users, I'd opt for HTTP basic auth (via HTTPS). Whether you're using nginx, Traefik, Caddy, etc..., it's very easy to setup. If you're using something like Cloudflare Pages, I would guess you could setup a worker to handle it for you (though I'm not familiar enough with workers to be sure).
Those Apple engineers stated in a very clear tone:

- every time a different result is produced.

- no reasoning capabilities were categorically determined.

So this is it. If you want LLM - brace for different results and if this is okay for your application (say it’s about speech or non-critical commands) then off you are.

Otherwise simply forget this approach, and particularly when you need reproducible discreet results.

I don’t think it gets any better than that and nothing so far implicated it will (with this particular approach to AGI or whatever the wet dream is)
