It isn't as impressive as they'd like you to believe.

They fine tuned it for that test.

What we are seeing is a marketing trick to keep markets and investors excited about AI. It's a trillion dollar industry for NVidia and other players. Fake it until you make it.

If you look deeper, there's very little change since GPT-3.5 and Anthropic have catched up with everything OpenAI has built so far.

Sora was a huge fluke with other companies clearly ahead of it. Also mostly useless.

> Javascript frameworks are the only reason the average person has had to buy a new PC in the last decade.

It's really sad but there's lot of truth in what you wrote. At first I was thinking: "but my compilation keeps getting faster and faster" and "some local AI models are really sweet" but that's not your average PC usecase.

My Core i7-6700K from 2015 still works totally fine. I moved to faster PCs: an AMD 3700X (which the wife now uses) and for me an AMD 7700X. But that Core i7 from 2015 simply just still works (as a proxmox machine, running VMs and containers: no ECC sadly).

And what can bring the AMD 3700X / 32 GB my wife is using to its knees? JavaScript. Fucking Wix and Slack and Canva (? not even sure the name is right) webapps that are dog slow and suck up all the CPUs and RAM.

Situation is so out of control with these JavaScript webapps that I'm seriously considering moving to a "one website / one container with quota" scheme.

After switching my wife from Windows to OS X to Ubuntu and now to Debian, I'm now planning to switch her to Proxmox, install a VM, and have her use containers with CPU and RAM quotas to keep these misbehaving pieces of turds webapps written by totally clueless developers in check.

FWIW I did for me, in the past, when I had that one webapp I was using that would manage to bring my beast of a machine to its knees (forgot which one webapp it was though).

Buying her a faster machine / with more RAM would be pointless: the JavaScript developers are vampires and would find a way to suck up all the CPUs and RAM anyway and have this thing swap to disk as if the early 2000s called.

I don't think a browser deserves to run on bare metal anymore. These things do seriously need to be put in a straightjacket. I think I'll got the container and CPU/RAM quota way again (because in my experience it's much easier to put quotas directly on a container than it is to try to CPU pin / RAM limits on a full browser).

P.S: and that's with serious ad blocking in place...

You’re very wrong, it can be caused by different things to different people- as the causes are emotional it requires severe emotional trauma, which does not have to happen through a specific category of event- a lot of different types of trauma and abuse can cause it.

However, I do know from accidently encountering bad stuff on the internet that you want to be as far away from a modern battlefield as possible.

It's just kind of ridiculous how people think war is like Call of Duty. One minute you're sitting in a trench, the next you're a pile of undifferentiated blood and guts. Same goes for car accidents and stuff. People really underestimate how fragile we are as human beings. Becoming aware of this is super damaging to our concept of normal life.

I have a hot take on this. I don’t care how you build and deploy as long as it’s reproducible and the whole process can be tracked in their metadata. I’d rather have a process validating CI/CD stages and artifacts metadata in a central db than unifying pipelines that won’t get standardized due communication complexity. This way I can have a conversation on visibility rather than code edge cases.

Permanent DST has problems in the northern parts of the US. Consider Seattle as an example.

In PST today, December 21, Sunrise was just before 8 am and sunset will be around 4:20 pm. Change that to PDT and we have sunrise just before 9 am and sunset around 5:20 pm.

The coldest time of the day tends to be in the morning before sunrise. On foggy days the fog is more likely in the morning than in the evening. When it freezes the roads are more likely to be icy in the morning. Even if the air temperature doesn't get above freezing all day there is a chance that sunlight during the day might heat the roads enough to melt the ice by evening.

Because of all this if you have to travel in the dark, whether as a driver or as a pedestrian or cyclist, you will generally prefer evening dark to morning dark.

In addition to the asymmetry between morning and evening weather there is also an asymmetry in traffic intensity. Pick any two random people and compare what times they travel to and from work or school.

Their morning travel times are more likely to be closer together than their evening travel times. Offices all start at about the same time, so you get office workers all coming at about the same time. Similar for elementary school start times, and middle schools start times, and high school start times.

At the other end of the day first you've got schools getting out which generally happens a couple hours before offices let out. Second, workers tend to leave work over a wider range of times than they arrive. You've got people who stay late to get something done (much more common than people who go in early). You've got people who do errands after work before heading home.

So at latitudes like that of Seattle permanent DST pushes the morning commute farther into worse weather and the morning commute is the one this is already the highest risk because it is the more concentrated commute and it is the one with the most overlap between adults driving for work and kids walking or biking for school.

Permanent standard time also is better for our circadian rhythms than permanent DST.

Most people here are too young to remember this, but the US tried year around DST in the '70s due to an oil supply disruption caused by war in the mideast. They thought permanent DST would lower energy consumption. It turns out it didn't have affect energy consumption much, but it was pretty much universally hated for the downsides I listed above and ditched after a year.
It's not entirely a coincidence but also not a general result that one should use the modular inverse as multiplier.

171 * 3 = 2^9 + 1, which is not surprising as we know that 171 * 3 = 1 (mod 2^8). So rearranged we have 171 / 2^9 = 1/3 + 1/(2^9*3) which shows it's a close approximation of 1/3.

You don't repay tech debt because it's not an actual debt. It's just taking shortcuts. You don't have to repay anyone for taking a shortcut. You do have to repay a debt, or your fucking car gets repossessed. And it's not like debt in any other way either. Hence tech debt is not debt.

A better metaphor: it's like adultering extra-virgin olive oil with cheap refined oil and calling that "oil debt". It's not debt, you're just cheating. Sure, you're "delivering a product into the hands of users faster". There is nobody to pay back, there is nothing you owe, unless you get caught. Similarly, 'tech debt' never needs to be paid back, unless one day it bites you in the ass and you can't get around it and have to do it the right way. Actual debt does not work like that at all.

Or, actually accurate: building a physical metal machine with poor tolerance and quality control. Building it to high tolerances and quality would have taken more time or expense, so they instead built it shittily so they could deliver it quicker. And it may work for the customer for a little while, but it will also have defects and stop working, and then the customer is screwed. This is not "machine debt". It's just a shitty machine, made by lazy people, so they could make money quicker.

That is not how debt works. It's not debt. It's just a bad metaphor for being lazy and taking shortcuts. And it's being used now to justify being lazy and taking shortcuts. It's crazy that so many people just eat these rationalizations and then continue them as if they make sense. The dumb leading the dumb.

Things like this are similar to law firms. The shelf life of vulnerabilities means that there isn’t a lot of intellectual property owned by the company. The value is in the people’s skills.

> This is a somewhat, hmm, bilingual post. The enum in question here is what Zig calls a tagged union, while Rust calls it an enum, with what Zig calls an enum being the degenerate case where the tag is the only payload.

To be fair, I think that most languages typically use enum to refer to the same thing as Zig; if anything, Rust (and Swift, iirc) are somewhat outliers for using that term for tagged unions.

Leadership issue.
Yes I am aware of the "szmalcowniki", those that extorted Jews for profit and it is unfortunate.

Are you aware of underground organizations like Żegota? Or Jan Karski who risked his life to document the Warsaw ghetto and providing munitions to the Jewish fighters in the uprising?

Or the thousands of families that helped aid Jews like the Ulma family killed with the family they were hiding, or nun Matylda Getter who rescued hundreds of Jewish children, or Żabiński who hid hundreds in a zoo. Or the 7000+ poles recognized by Yad Vashem, the highest of any nation. Poland was the only occupied country where aiding Jews was punishable by death.

I urge you to look into the following families and their roles in aiding jews in WWII: Ulma, Kowalski, Baranek, Zabinski, Kossak, Podgorski sisters, Wojciechowski, Baranek, Skoczylas, Jarosz, Przybylski, Wolski, Banasiewicz, Bartosiewicz and many others.

Also, I meant more in the general sense of the populace resisting occupation time and time again seeing as we still have a country, which doesn't happen without sacrificing for one another.

What town are you talking about btw?

Big tech vastly underspends on this area. You can find a stream of articles from the last 10 years where BigTech companies were allowing open child prostitution, paid-for violence, and other stuff on their platforms with little to no moderation.
I think it’s possible that it can be a useful step. Fleshing out vocabulary can help with all the real-world use, because you’ll have more context and can fill in meanings, and get more out of real world use. But probably only as a booster to real world use. By itself, it does very little.

Haven't tried this but it's a Slack alternative from the Basecamp folks, source included and works on airgapped networks.

Second worst offender I have to deal with is Jira web. I've had CTOs tell me they know it's crap but they force their startups to use it from the get-go because it makes getting acquihired easier because the other company likely already uses it. Truly Kafkaesque.

That describes the entire Israeli defence industry, and a fair sized portion of Israel's cybersecurity industry, based on the stomach-churning sales pitches I've received.

NSO are not unique, they just got unlucky.
Except it doesn't.

People like to say it does, but this stance is largely based on a single line (up at the very top) which is frequently mistranslated, as in the version you are unfortunately citing.

In particular it mistranslates a key verb as "obliterate". When you yourself can verify, right now, that that verb pretty much only translates as "nullify" or "abolish". It is also clear that this refers to the State of Israel, not the Jewish people.

This far more correct interpretation being much more consistent with Hamas's ideology, which holds that Zionism simply lacks legitimacy, and will eventually be seen as irrelevant.

There's also that line about the Gharqad tree. Say what you want about it, but it unambiguously refers to Islamic eschatology, and Islamic scholars at least say it should be interpreted allegorically (as in a conflict will come between right and wrong, those who defend the truth and those who oppose it and all that).

In any case it doesn't refer to the State of Israel, or present a literal call for extermination.
IANAL,but naming your product S2 and mentioning in the intro that AWS S3 is the tech you are enhancing is probably looking for a branding/copyright claim from Amazon.

Well, I, for one, do like the idea of C (in contrast to D or C++) still being sort of the lowest-level high-level programming language - one that's just a notch above the assembler.
So I asked- and they said (1) when the facility is large enough, which many are, you can randomly sample locations and if they died from injuries elsewhere these will still end up in the sample; (2) they do a lot of separate experiments to measure things like the rate of carcass removal by scavengers which go into the calculations; (3) depending on the type of bird and turbine, in most cases injuries are immediately fatal, and they can quantify this for each case with direct observation.

I’ll myself add that presumably the data collected on larger farms can be used as a prior to make accurate inferences on smaller farms.

What makes the Swiss telecom product better other than regulatory capture preferencing domestic products?
Out of curiosity, what's the sort of consistency (in the sense of linearizable etc.,.) provided here? If an RPC is handled by some actor, is it guaranteed to have seen all previously accepted messages that completed up to that point?

If so, how does that work?

Edit: I guess this sort of comes by forcing everything to round trip through foundationdb for state? As long as the actor reads the state from foundationdb before handling the response, and writes to foundationdb before sending a reply, it should guarantee the same sort of consistency you'd get from foundationdb?

What about calls to other actors? If I make a potentially state changing RPC call to some other actor as a part of handling an RPC, do those commit together, or is it possible for the other actor to commit without me?
What’s “marker” in the above?
