I have reverted back to owning movie-media again.

I like watching movies, and thus, I have watched a lot. When I try to find a movie to watch on HBO/Netflix (I'm from Scandinavia - not the same selection as in the US), I have a hard time finding something to watch. A lot of newer movies doesn't cater to my taste.

On the other hand, I can find a lot of classics from the 80s/90s/00s and even 10s in thriftstores for as little as 1-3$. I then get to keep the movies, that I often end up rewatching, and I get the added features mentioned in the article.

I'm not to nostalgic about the cases, which I often just dump (I have considered keeping the fact-sheets though, just not the plastic casing).

I'll soon cancel my remaining subscriptions, and only purchase them a month at a time when something I truly want to watch arrives...
What "social media" companies are doing with "automated algorithms" are no worse than the massive domestic newspaper, radio, television, and entertainment company consolidation that has been permitted over the past several decades.

If FedGov is going to be fixing problems with the domestic news and entertainment industry, they should start by reversing that consolidation of control.

Exactly. It's very tough knowing what is "you won't need this" and what is "it won't cost a lot to add this now, you'll need this and it will save you a lot of money and pain for later".

You are extrapolating from my message. I disputed can't be sustained. For which a counter example is enough. But I'm not interested in nitpicking phrasing.
I agree with most of what you wrote as hypotheticals, I just disagree it describes things as they are.

I don't know why you are so eager to think people don't have agency or can't influence society. So many things change all the time. Just one example - twenty years ago most gay people lived in secret, because being out was a huge problem for society; the idea of gay marriage was ridiculously distant. Today, in most places, it's seen as a non-issue.

That didn't happen by chance. It happened because of the hard dedicated work of a lot of people, who convinced society to see things differently, and won.

It's not limited to the US. Here in Latvia, which is one of the poorest EU country, we have seen an influx of Indian citizens willing to emigrate. Many will work for little more than 1 or 2€ per hour, and come here by bribing emigration officiers or paying fees to local shady schools that act as visa mills.
> Ideally in my oppinion, intelligence services would proof the manipulation - and show it to the public.

Based on the fact that FedGov is presenting evidence to the court under seal, it seems likely that intelligence services have proof (or -more likely- "proof") of manipulation, but are only showing it to the judge.

Does the likely fact that the US government is refusing to provide for public inspection and discussion what they're using as evidence of alleged national-security-relevant Chinese interference in domestic affairs make you more comfortable with the veracity of their claims that the Chinese government not only has substantial control over TikTok, but that that control is so harmful to national security that it must be unilaterally terminated?

Why or why not?

Valkey, the Redis fork, is currently sponsored by Ampere, AlmaLinux OS Foundation, Broadcom, DigitalOcean, Memurai, NetApp, Aiven, Alibaba Cloud, AWS, Canonical, Chainguard, Ericsson, Heroku, Huawei, Google Cloud, Oracle, Percona, Snap Inc and Verizon[0].

There is enough interest in sponsoring the development of infrastructure software. But if you want to build a "commercial arm", get VC funding[1][2] and earn millions, then it will never be enough. And I can't say it's unreasonable to want to do that, it just ultimately ends up being against the long-term interests of the project as a whole.

Wikipedia only provides a small subset of sources which it arbitrarily deems “reliable” by some arcane definition that flies in the face of what everyday normal people mean by “reliable”. It does the same with “notability”, so most topics don’t even make it into Wikipedia because they are deemed “not notable” when by every reasonable everyday standard they are absolutely notable.

None of that solves ocean acidification, none of that revert the feedback loops, none of that allows us to continue with our wasteful lifestyles, non of that restores the wildlife we absolutely decimated. It all sounds like a sect now, ignoring the present, hoping for a better future while everything points the other way. "Just pray a little more and it'll come to life"

no

not for the next 5 years for sure.
since when is the "general public" arbiter of wisdom? The masses will embrace anything that smacks of short term convenience and will tolerate enormous amount of abuse because caring for anything actually requires effort. This starts with thinking, collecting objective information among the torrents of marketing and misinformation, agitating for your rights and (horror, horror) even sacrificing immediate gratification.

Because the general public "doesnt care" we are in a world you can own nothing, control nothing, repair nothing, keep nothing a secret, do nothing without going through gatekeepers. In short, idiocracy.

Sugru was the base for so many of my hacks from about 2005ish to maybe 2020. But it has become so expensive, and the new formulations so unreliable, that I am open to almost any alternative. Even the homemade cornstarch based formulations.

I still have a stack of things that I'd love to fix with Sugru, hoping that the old Sugru may someday be available again, or a good alternative could be found.

Yeah, we are probably different. I suppose my primary goal is to love and be kind. But trying to figure out what the hell is going on is a strong second place.
Maintainer stance is understandable. They are the ones taking on the risks and who will be left dealing with consequences.

Flyby contributors don’t know how much effort there is to keep things going even at good enough level. It’s up to the newcomer to convince that the new opinion matters and new risk is worth taking.

Maintainers can’t distinguish between troll and flyby-contributor-never-to-be-seen-again and genius-that-will-sacrifice-everything-for-the project.

I get that you can’t convince of anything if they don’t discuss, but that means one must earn the right to discuss, by becoming part of current organisation.

Illustrative analogy from open source project (not mine).

Project had top level directories like “ext” and “external” and “vendor” (which is confusing at the first glance). Potential contributor made PR to rectify it (memory slips on how; but seemed reasonable at first glance). Owner/Maintainer rejected this help. The would be contributor got frustrated, later complained here that the project did not care about code quality and best practices and is hostile to new contributors. I see Chesterton’s fence here and a bit of entitlement on the would-be-contributor’s side.
Ironically, the one thing I think LLMs can usefully replace is authors of nonsense like this.
Agreed that LLMs can make the role of junior developers become one of filtering out bad LLM output, and tuning a prompt until it outputs the right thing.

I think the concern that we won't have senior developers later if there are no junior developers now, is pretty valid. The question is if LLMs will keep up pace to replace senior developers when the current ones retire. Since no one can predict the future, it's a pretty risky gamble at the scale of the entire industry. (OTOH if this new tool sparks more interest in the occupation, then maybe the issue solves itself by sheer numbers.)

Qualification: Quantum Algorithms that provide superpolynomial speedup, have an application, and don't need quantum memory or rely on quantum data.
But SSPL is already a modification of AGPL, so its terms don't seem to have be sufficient.

The SSPL's network provision also requires SaaS companies to release the source of any other services and APIs they made the original software dependent on; hard to tell if that's still a valid copyright licence or more of a contract.

Contrast them with EUPL, which represents the strongest copyleft the EU commission thinks a licence, as opposed to a contract, could get away with under EU directives (ignoring its compatibility clause). I'm personally wary of AGPL/SSPL not because their terms, but because the viral claises are likely to be a legal fiction where I live.

I still think @mpweiher's original response to the release of GitHub Copilot is spot on: https://blog.metaobject.com/2021/06/don-generate-glueextermi...

That is, rather than use an LLM to generate boilerplate code from an ambiguous natural-language prompt, use a high-level programming language to precisely, concisely, and directly express what you want.
Easy: ship source code and the whole compiler toolchain, also in source form, with bootstrapping instructions for a generic machine that future archaeologists will trivially port to whatever architecture is in vogue in year 32768 !

Joke aside, this question is close to the file format obsolescence problem in long term digital preservation: the longer the term, the closer to bootstrapping the answer is.

In the shorter term, detailed metadata, widely used containers and choice of codecs that have well-known open source implementations is a good start.
Implications of Plateauing LLMs – Sympolymathesy, by Chris Krycho
Forget it. There's very little that can be taught about drawing.

Drawing from model is about being the kind of character that enjoys spending hours tweaking at tiny details and measuring measuring measuring. Anybody willing to sit 3 hours in front of the model every day can learn it, if he understands that he must measure.

Drawing from imagination like Kim Jung Gi on the other hand is about doing that every day most of the day since you were a little kid, and you probably need an innate ability to boot (and that might be some form of obsessive-compulsive disorder / autism...).

Jason can't be streamed: wtf? If you have a data connection that can be broken, every data format is incomplete until the last ack

There is absolutely nothing stopping you from parsing json as it comes in. An open array that hasn't reached the closing arrays character yet? How is that different than a stream of data elements?

With the Jackson API, I was easily able to parse incoming text into Json tokens and extract data as it came in. I did this for certain corner cases where Json documents possibly were sent in that were greater than could be practically put into memory.

Sure, you might want to have a rollback function in case there is a break in the data transfer, but how'd that be different with a different data format streamed?

The guy is complaining a lot about number formats. If you care about it that much just put your numbers and strings, and make the parsing format part of the standard /api interface.

This guy simply appears to be in love with binary formats and strong typing. If that floats his boat by all means do it.

The fact that so much of the web relies on Json, and it pretty much seems to work. The guy hopefully indicated some corner cases on its use. But come on it's not fatally flawed.
Offering USB flash versions would make sense, too, given the low cost presently. There's probably a market for write-once flash drives.

>> But for anyone who wonders why I’ve been obsessing for years about the need to design efficiently verifiable near-term quantum supremacy experiments: well, this is why! We’re now deeply into the unverifiable regime that I warned about.

Can anybody explain me why it is hard to find a problem that can be solved only by a basic quantum computer within a short timespan and can be easily verified by a normal computer? I thought there are so many algo's out there for which one direction is fast and the reverse takes ages.

Ditching social media is a complete no brainer for me. I’ve ditched everything over the years but Reddit. For some reason I keep coming back to it. I really like the communities around specific topics (record collecting, docker, python, sports). I curate my feed so it only serves up content from my niche interests.

However even Reddit has become a time suck and endless scroll of low value content. That’s why I keep coming back to HN - Much higher value content.
Pretty wide variety of use cases tbh - everything from classic scraping on the very simple side to integrating with 3P services that don’t offer APIs, agentic QA testing etc

The companies we’ve seen automatic agentic workflows well typically send a bunch of context to the LLM and somewhat constrain the actions that the model can take. Actually works better than you’d expect :)

"easily be sustained" - for you maybe. I have done keto for long periods, 4 times in my life, and i find it personally extremely unsustainable. Boring, extremely restricting in social situations, and cuts you off from one of the greatest joys in life - the vast array of food, tastes and experiences available to the modern human existence. Casting wide generalizations from your own personal experience is bad, and unfortunately par for the course in any internet discussion of diet.
Those are good points; thanks for raising them!

> Not for writing. But you'll have fun reading this file.

Regular file reads aren’t much more complicated; they require only one extra call to stat and a few extra file seeks.

> Read the file from STDIN or from a socket, where you only get one pass over the data without buffering.

That would be a problem for files you want to keep in memory. My assumption with tensor files is that they are so large that you will always save them to disk before using them. That’s how HuggingFace tooling works anyway.

> Read the file, but the file is truncated by one byte (i.e. the last byte is missing).

That might be an argument for using the floating header! However, I don’t expect it to be a real issue with tensor files specifically. If they aren’t intact, they aren’t useable, and you should throw them away. Error correction should be one level higher.

After Germany surrendered and the war in Europe was over, America began systematically dismantling West Germany's industrial capabilities. No aid was to be given save the absolute minimum needed to prevent starvation, all the work of rebuilding Germany was to be left to the Germans. The Red Cross was forbidden to visit allied camps of German POWs to provide food or aid. It was even forbidden for Americans to send packages of food to Germans.

Over the next two or three years these orders were one-by-one rescinded and reversed, mostly for national security reasons when the Soviet threat was acknowledged and Germany's role in countering that Soviet threat was understood. But even then, in the end only a small portion of the Marshall plan went to West Germany. Most of it went to the rest of western Europe.

It also seems like because of this pattern a lot of the tools wouldn't actually be that useful in the field. I've played around with a few now that 1. it was almost impossible to test and debug behavior because you can't tell which elements of the prompt cause it to do what and 2. you can rarely get it to do the same thing each time it's triggered with 100% confidence, which make them pretty useless as workflow tools. This definitely feels like bandwagoning rather than actually coming at it from the perspective of what anyone would find useful.
To be clear, there are racists, and there are valid accusations of racism. I grew up and lived in the American Southeast for a long time. I'm WELL aware of the ongoing existence of and trouble with racists.

While my personal experience is affected by being in the SF Bay Area for the past couple of decades, it is my experience that over those decades the overwhelming majority of accusations of racism in ordinary conversation are not invoked because of racism, but are used as a shorthand for "Fuck you, I'm done with this conversation and done with YOU.".
