Computing Inside an AI
Well, yes, but delegates as a term is not often used in other languages so I did not mention them for simplicity's sake.

For what it's worth - the real issue in C# is not even the virtual calls but the way Roslyn caches lazily allocated non-capturing lambda instances. It does so in a compiler-unfriendly way due to questionable design decisions inside Roslyn.

Luckily, this has a high chance of changing in .NET 10. Ideally, by the time it releases hopefully the compiler will both understand the Roslyn's pattern of caching better and be able to stack-allocate non-escaping lambda closure instances.

Lambdas capturing 'this' inside instance methods of the object they refer to do not allocate either.

My company would only ask for IPv6 if a software doesn't support IPv6 though.
Yeah, it's choosing extremely esoteric words for me, and clearly missing the beginning of many swipes (despite drawing the trail correctly). Almost unusably bad swiping imo.

E.g. "so" with a nearly prefect straight line clearly drawn within both keys -> it chose "SSSI". What even is that? Or "drawn" there chose "Den", which is apparently a proper noun because ("cause") I didn't ("Ivy") hit shift.
Those are the most likely.

Another factor, less common, is when you want or have to speak a non-native language you're not used to pronounce, in which case you're usually afraid of not being understood.

> I recall a lot of the manufacturers have a legal exemption from any liability for damage done by vaccines.

Without a liability exemption, no company would manufacture vaccines, the government would need to step in as a manufacturer. With the liability exemption law, the private sector makes the vaccines while the government assumes the liability, which is a pretty good solution in my opinion.

> In the United States, low profit margins and an increase in vaccine-related lawsuits led many manufacturers to stop producing the DPT vaccine by the early 1980s.[4][unreliable source?] By 1985, vaccine manufacturers had difficulty obtaining liability insurance.[10] The price of the DPT vaccine skyrocketed as a result, leading providers to curtail purchases, thus limiting availability. Only one company was still manufacturing pertussis vaccine in the US by the end of 1985.[10] Because of this, Congress passed the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (NCVIA) in 1986, establishing a federal no-fault system to compensate victims of injury caused by mandated vaccines.[11][12]

I'm not a Pompeii expert, but from what I understand Pliny the Younger was there, witnessed the eruption first-hand, and barely survived to tell the tale. Which he did, in a book that has survived to the present day. He gave the date of 24 August, year 79.

> Luon looks mostly like Oberon and not so much like Lua

Luon can indeed look similar to Oberon if you use upper-case keywords and semicolons, but there is not need for this. Both - Lua and Luon - have much in common with Modula-2 (given lower-case keywords). There are many elements in Luon which are pretty similar to Lua, e.g. constructors, pcall, most control and loop statements. But there are also significant differences of course, because Luon is a statically typed language and Lua isn't.

> Wasn't he fired for questionable reasons?

There were a number of concerns, including for-profit projects he was pursuing despite his public insistence on OpenAI being non-profit as well as generally deceptive behaviour on his part. The last part at least is consistent with what others have said about Altman previously, including what allegedly led to his exit from YC, although they have kept those stories pretty quiet. But it seems like PG himself no longer has a lot of trust in Altman after he basically made him his heir apparent, and he has known him for a while now.

What's more, the driving force behind the board's move to remove him from OpenAI was reportedly Ilya Sutskever who was one of their key people and one of the handful of original founders. So it wasn't just a bunch of external people who wanted Altman gone, but at least one high level insider who has been around for the entire thing.

Altman himself was even once asked by journalists whether we could trust him to which he outright answered "no". But then he pointed to the fact that the board could remove him for any reason. Clearly, he was suggesting that there were strong safe guards in place to keep him in check, but it is now apparent that those safe guards never really existed while his answer still stands.

Metapost - Reading the (civilized!) comments on HN vs those on Reddit is such a contrast.

Thanks. I e.g. re-implemented the Smalltalk-80 VM in Luon (see https://github.com/rochus-keller/Smalltalk/), and I consider implementing an Interlisp VM (see https://github.com/rochus-keller/gingko/) which uses LuaJIT, which was an important motivation to interrupt my Micron language project to implement Luon.
I'm amazed OpenAI made these disclosures. My main takeaway was how wrong all the predictions of Sutskever and Brockman turned out to be, and how all their promises have been broken. Also interesting that up to 2019 OpenAI was focused on RL rather than LLMs.
What a terrible and sad loss.
I think the thing is there is weird stuff about how stuff manifests no? like I can't do math to save myself, but maybe I can "imagine math" (I've heard some people do math this way) - so just pair me with a math person and use my particular connection configuration to solve or invent new math, you know?

If you are looking for more of this, check out vale.sh. It lets you add all kinds of style guidelines, including avoiding weasel words.

and our config: https://github.com/FusionAuth/fusionauth-site/tree/main/conf...

We've found it helpful to enforce style but probably aren't using it to the full extent.
In my opinion the difference is that a recent graduate knows to say “I don’t know” to questions they’re not sure on, whereas LLMs will extremely confidently and convincingly lie to your face and tell you dangerous nonsense.
I use a version of these scripts all the time.

though all-in-one spell-checkers like vale.sh are more convenient.
Luon doesn't directly support tables, but instead supports records, arrays and hashmaps (which internally use tables). Since it's statically typed you can only store nil to a field or element if it is of a structured type.

This is from the SuperDuper backup folks. SuperDuper is a tool that you can use to make bootable backups of your macOS system. Apple took away the ability for 3rd party tools to manipulate the OS and copy it to another partition/drive and took it upon themselves to provide that functionality via a utility. That utility is apparently non-functional in 15.2. So that breaks SuperDuper's ability to make a nice, clean, bootable backup of your Mac.
What answer do you wants?

I can answer comprehension questions and get a good score. For example I got a perfect score on the verbal section of the GRE when I took it in the early 1990s, and this is the speed that I did the reading comprehension tests. I can read whole books, and come away able to find any passage after reading just a few paragraphs. For all intents and purposes, it's read.

I can't debug code at this speed though. Doesn't matter how fast I can read, I can't think for myself at the same speed.
Same here. I wrote my first robot in the 80s. Well it was actually scientific device for my main job. Among various sensors it had moving parts controlled by solenoids and stepper motors. Same sense of excitement when the thing worked.

> A comm sat network is very very different from a positioning satellite network. You'll notice that here on earth those missions are done by very different satellites in very different orbits, they are not substitutes for each other.

Not necessarily. Starlink can be used for positioning – not with the same accuracy as GPS can, but it definitely can be used. According to [0] a research group was involved with discussions with SpaceX about officially using Starlink as a positioning system, but the discussions were terminated because Musk didn't like the idea. And then the researchers went ahead and did it anyway – even without the ability to decrypt the signal, the unencrypted synchronisation data embedded in it is sufficient to get a position fix to within 30 metres. If SpaceX was actually cooperating and using data in the encrypted signal for this purpose, it could likely be made even more accurate. I suppose Musk's point is that however accurate it is, GPS is going to be even more accurate, and having Starlink offer a "just like GPS but less accurate" service has minimal commercial value and great potential for bad PR ("look how inaccurate SpaceX's GPS alternative is!")

SpaceX is proposing to build a "Marslink" constellation around Mars [1]. Likely SpaceX wouldn't have the same opposition to using it for positioning as they do for Earth Starlink, given there is no existing GPS to compete with.

> because we haven't mapped their gravity fields due to density fluctuations as well, the upper atmosphere is not as well studied for drag effects, and we don't have fixed locations that can determine orbital parameters very precisely by either visual or radar observations after every orbital maintenance burn. Small uncertainty in orbital position lead to gigantic uncertainty in your position, and none of the techniques we use here on earth to remove that uncertainty would work around Mars.

This is all true, but anything is better than nothing – a Martian GPS with significantly less accuracy than Earth GPS will still be superior to no Martian GPS. And it will be a step towards building the necessary research infrastructure to answer many of those questions about variations in Martian gravity and atmospheric drag. So the accuracy of the system is likely to improve over time.

There are really two things at play here.

First, every manufacturer should be required to collect and produce scientifically rigorous evidence of safety for these systems. Any system that does not increase danger, i.e. within the range of human safety, would generate a easily manageable number of incidents to characterize. The total number of US traffic fatalities is only on the order of 40,000/year. Even if it took a staggering 10 hours of 300$/hr lawyer time just to characterize each incident, that would amount to a mere 120 M$ for the entire US. That is just 50 measly cents per car annually. And we are talking literal deaths here. Not doing so is obscene.

Literally every manufacturer of ADAS systems fails by this metric. None of them is acceptable. Arguments about who is failing double turbo hard is a meaningless exercise. The minimal standard they should be held to is clear and all of them should need to meet it or they should pull their systems from the field until they feel like taking human lives seriously.

Second, although all manufacturers fail at the standard that they should be held to and should be censured for that, only Tesla actively and deceptively markets their “safety performance” according to these very same metrics they claim are misleading. The reported data objectively undercounts incidents. Despite this, Tesla intentionally and deceptively markets the data as the true rate of incidents to overstate their safety. No other manufacturer does this as far as I am aware.

Every other manufacturer just relies on the prevailing wind that scientifically rigorous safety evidence collection is not needed when deploying new features. But none intentionally misrepresent the absence of evidence of danger as evidence of safety. That is pure scientific and business malfeasance that Tesla is guilty of and, even barring a change in evidence collection requirements, should be punished for.
Confirming the date doesn’t mean that it was in doubt, it’s just new evidence that strengthens his account.
Right, so given the paradox, consider both possibilities rather then dismiss one like the parent is implying here.

His uncle, Pliny the Elder, was closer and died in Stabiae, a town close to Pompeii that was partially covered in ash, while attempting to rescue a friend.

Pliny the Younger was across the Bay of Naples and witnessed the eruption from a distance.

Of interest, the two letters written by Pliny the Younger:

https://igppweb.ucsd.edu/~gabi/sio15/lectures/volcanoes/plin...

( hosted at the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics as being the first recorded witnessing of a volcanic eruption )

The date is likely to be accurate as Pliny the Elder's will formerly adopted Pliny the Younger as a "son" and left him a considerable fortune.

The major eruption occurred in cycles over two days, subsequent ash falls that continued to kill may have persisted a week.

It's possible that 50 years on there may be some inaccuracy in the account wrt dates as Pliny the Younger may have referenced documents that dated when his uncles estate was settled rather than the date of his death.
