Got it, thanks for the reply!

It might be interesting if there were a way to represent a part of a transaction to commit as a sort of effect of an RPC. I don't know the details, but I'm aware of a non-public system that does a similar sort of thing to coordinate a distributed transaction between many different RPC services that are otherwise opaque.

E.g., you make a bunch of RPC calls, some part of the framework is tracking the read set and writes that need to be made, and then when the root of the RPC is ready to commit it can all atomically commit or fail (if there was a transaction conflict or something).
That's because Mastodon or any other federated social network hasn't taken off, and so not enough development has gone into them. If they take off, naturally people will develop analogs of spam lists and SpamAssassin etc for such systems, which will cut down moderation time significantly. I run an org email server, and don't exactly do any thing besides installing such automated tools.

On Mastodon, admins will just have to do the additional work to make sure new accounts are not posting weird stuff.

Would someone who knows more than me please weigh in on why we even bother with storing these waste products? Can't we build other things to use the waste products in series until the material is much easier to deal with?
I strongly doubt the intent here was whataboutism. Rather, it was more to indicate that things get a lot worse than this; it's just not in the spotlight so not many people know about it.
There are, at least in my opinion, many more reasons to use Kotlin than null-safety and data-classes/records, especially on Android (Jetpack Compose).

No? You provided a list of things you personally believe to be supported by the balance of evidence (in several different fields of study), and many of them --- maybe more than half --- are things that are unsettled, or even unlikely to be true. Why would I retract anything?
I don't want to come across as too harsh but having studied machine learning since 2015 I find the most recent crop of people excited about working on AI are deep in Dunning-Kruger. I think I conflate this a bit with the fascination of results over process (I suppose that befuddlement is what led me to physics over engineering) but working in ML research for so long it's hard to gin up a perspective that these things are actually teleologically useful, and not just randomly good enough most of the time to keep up the illusion.

Or hash table, or any other kind of tree.

My guess would be because it was implemented in c, where the usual practice if you need a container type other than a fixed size array is to implement it yourself. IME, c code tends to use linked lists for a lot of things that in most other languages would be implemented using a better suited, and more performent, container type from the standard library.

One way that other languages can outperform c, is it is easier to use the right data structure.
I've been saying that for decades. The concept of time zones became anachronistic when instant communication went worldwide.
What benefit do they provide in testing scenarios? I've never written Kotlin, but from an outsider's perspective, it seems like a slim benefit, outweighed by the cost of the mere existence of this syntactical oddity in the language's grammar.
Here's an early intro from Bellman himself: https://www.ams.org/journals/bull/1954-60-06/S0002-9904-1954...

It gets into continuous problems from section 6 on.
“The idea behind exception aggregation is to handle many exceptions with a single piece of code; rather than writing distinct handlers for many individual exceptions, handle them all in one place with a single handler.”

This seems similar to how events are handled in a web-browser. Each element can handle its own event-handlers. But equally well there can be a single event-handler for each event-type in a containing element, perhaps at the top-level only.

If you define event-handlers of a given type for all DOM-elements of the page in a single location it becomes much more flexible to modify how and which events are handled and for which DOM-elements.

So we could say that "error" is just one of the event-types, errors can be or could be handled by the same mechanism as events in general are. Right? Or is there clear categorical difference between error-events and other types of events?
I'm not sure that would be a good idea. Do you, personally, want to be the weak link in the chain to something a nation state wants?

> In 1936 both Alan Turing and Alonzo Church independently reached the conclusion, using different methods, that the answer is "no."

I think claiming these efforts were independent is misleading. Church was Turing’s PhD advisor in 1936, and one of the appendices of Turing’s thesis retroactively justifies the lambda calculus definition of computing, by proving it equivalent to his Turing machine definition. That sounds less like competing definitions of computability to me, and instead a story of collaboration to produce a philosophical justification (Turing machines) for Church’s pure mathematical theory (lambda calculus). Which is not to disparage Turing either: creating this philosophical justification was an impressive and fundamentally important achievement. I think Church sometimes gets unfairly maligned in these discussions as an out-of-touch purist who didn’t care to come up with a believable definition, but clearly he cared enough to support his student working on the problem!

Is there some evidence for the independence or competitiveness of their work that I’ve missed?

Anyway, apart from this nitpick about the introduction, I appreciate seeing this foundational stuff explained clearly!

> Pipeline definitions are scattered across multiple tools—GitHub Actions, Jenkins, ArgoCD, Kubernetes—and environments. This fragmentation leads to confusion, configuration drift, and duplicated effort.

So are they talking about some sort of meta language compiling into multiple yaml configs for the different environments or a single separate CI tool that has plugins and integrates with GitHub/gitlab/etc?

I do agree with them about the need for a real programming language. I hate yaml in gitlabs config, it is very hard to interpret how it will be interpreted. Things were much easier when I was scripting Jenkins even though I didn't know or like groovy then with gitlab

That is a great game! It was very influential too.

No scoring system, just a rank. I still enjoy playing once in a while.

There is a slow down that happens when multiple enemies are destroyed and the computer cannot compute all the particles.

Someone fixed it a while back and the game runs at a perfect 60/50hz. I played that and the game seemed stale, not "alive" like the original.

Same with an arcade game by Williams: DEFENDER. The slowdowns are awesome and add to the game experience in ways not really foreseen by the original creator.

Why do you think it’s “fine” that the parent commentator thinks “ yes, some population groups really are more intelligent than others”? What do you think he means by the “truly taboo comparisons” and why do you think he’s too chickenshit to say what he means? Why is that “fine” instead of “grounds for immediate ostracism”?
I'm not sure what you're getting at. The point of these (ill-defined) alignment exercises is not to achieve parity with humans, but to constrain AI systems so that they behave in our best interest. Or, more prosaically, that they don't say or do things that are a brand safety or legal risk for their operator.

Still, I think that the original paper and this take on it are just exercises in excessive anthropomorphizing. There's no special reason to believe that the processes within an LLM are analogous to human thought. This is not a "stochastic parrot" argument. I think LLMs can be intelligent without being like us. It's just that we're jumping the gun in assuming that LLMs have a single, coherent set of values, or that they "knowingly" employ deception, when the only thing we reward them for is completing text in a way that pleases the judges.

When we withdrew, as it was clear to me that this was going to be a looney tunes scramble through a hedgerow while being berated by a cast-iron lunatic, he made it very clear we had made the right decision. I had the grace to tell him we were withdrawing our interest face to face. He turned a shade of purple that cannot possibly be healthy, before storming from the room like an overgrown child.

That is a wonderful description; and while I like his beer and would probably enjoy drinking it in one of his pubs, I would cross a four-lane highway against the light to avoid having to deal with the man himself.

That said, you were not in a position to add a 500% 'wanker tax' to the price of the bid, to make it worth dealing with him?
> It’s similar to why a big portion of the world believes in Christianity and another portion believes in Buddhism. Basically only one or none of these religions is correct rendering at least one population of people believing in a completely made up fantasy concept.

You have picked religions with as little as possible in common. It would be rather different if you had picked any two monotheistic religions for example: one could be entirely right, and that would mean the other was partially or mostly right.. Despite your choice, there are many things in common: a path to redemption, monasticism, wealth being a barrier to redemption, meditation and mysticism... its quite possible those common elements might be right.

The same with software. Some things that are widely believed may be true and other false.

The point is that nothing is inherently toxic, as there are almost certainly trace amounts of countless different compounds that are "inherently toxic" all around you. Again, it depends on the dose. I don't think there are many, if any, chemicals where a dozen molecules would negatively affect a healthy adult.

I would wager that you inhale more than zero molecules of this "inherently toxic" flame retardant when you breathe. So you are going to stop breathing?
Very very high level explanation that I'm trying to paraphrase from memory, so there's a good chance parts of it are wrong or use the wrong terminology:

A polynomial is a function like `f(x) = Ax^3 + Bx^2 + Cx^1 + Dx^0`

You can approximate most(all?) continuous functions using polynomials. The more "parts" (e.g. Bx^2 is one part) of the polynomial you have, the better you can represent a given function.

The previous example was a 1d function, but polynomials can be over any number of dimensions. E.g. a 3d polynomial `f(x, y, z)`.

Spherical harmonics are just a form of 3d polynomials, but with some special "parts" (called a basis function), with the amount of parts you have called a "band".

As for what they're good for, they're a fairly compact way of representing and filtering 3d signals.

In 3d rendering, they're really good at storing light hitting a point from different directions. You have an incoming ray of light on a unit sphere/hemisphere with origin x, y, z going towards the given point. You can then take your list of light rays with various (x,y,z) origins and (r,g,b) intensities, and then form a spherical harmonics approximation over it (basically a fitted 3d polynomial), which can be stored as just a few coefficients (A, B, C, D, etc...) using 1 or 2 bands, and cheaply computed (querying the light value r,g,b for a given ray) by plugging in the ray's x, y, z into the formula.

Besides being cheap to store and query, because you're only using 1-2 bands, you only capture the "low frequency" of the lighting signal, e.g. large changes in the light value get dropped, since it's just an approximation of the original signal. While this is normally bad, for 3d rendering, it's free denoising, giving you a smoother output image!
What are the odds any electronic data store, tape or SSD or anything in between, could last that long?

I guess some random store keeps getting moved from one storage device to another by accident, but beyond that I'm not sure if it is reasonably possible.
That kitchen metaphor is perfect, actually. I am 100% going to use that the next time I have to explain this concept.

Right. It's closer to Jetbrains' model for their IDE, although arguably better. IIRC if you stop paying Jetbrains an annual license, the license "falls back" to the version the IDE was at when the license started 12 months ago; if you stop paying Panic, the Nova license remains good for the major version of Nova you have when the license ended. (e.g., if you bought a license when Nova 10.0 was current and the license "expired" when Nova 11.1 was the current version, you don't have to go back to Nova 10; you can keep using Nova 11 and keep getting updates until Nova 12 is released.)
I really dislike the phrase "test time." Why not just say, "More time to think" (aka more inference time)? To make it more accessible, why not just use the straightforward concepts:

1. Bigger networks

2. More data

3. Longer training time

4. More time to think

The bitter lesson is the complicated patterns are self-revealing.
Unlike batteries, solar panels, and windmills, nuclear fuel can be economically recycled. Russia does so already. The only reason it isn't prevalent in the West is because there's so much uranium available that no one bothers. It just gets saved for later.

A 'spent' fuel rod has yielded something like 0.5% of its atomic potential. Complete burns are feasible. So from the fuel rods alone, we can generate 19_500% as much electricity as all nuclear plants since they came into existence have ever generated.

Earth will never run out of fissionables at any rate of use which is reasonable to contemplate. It's just a thing that you need to believe despite that it isn't true. You've chained together a loose collection of political slogans with no grounding in reality or truth.
> I posit almost all intelligent monastics and religious people are smart enough to tell the difference between objective truth and religious truth- but it is taboo to explain this to lay people as they will be confused and think it means the religion is "fake" or a "trick", however I don't feel the need to respect said taboo.

That is positing a conspiracy theory level of deception.

At least as far as Christianity goes, the "intelligent monastics and religious people" write down their beliefs, and have done so for millennia, and they read each others writings. What you suggest might be possible with an oral tradition, but not with a written one. Christianity is very much concerned with objective truth, and one of the distinguishing characters of it (and some other religions too) is a belief that there is an objective truth.
Nope not switching between platforms. I'm actually using ParrelSync that allows me to have 2 instances of Unity open working off same codebase. One instance is set to Server and other to WebGL platform. The purpose of it is mostly for faster multiplayer development & testing.

Server Builds are super quick, it's the Unity WebGL Client builds that take forever even if I have cache. Although I have not migrated to Unity 6 yet, that's actually next on my to-dos which I believe there are lots of improvements for WebGL builds there. So I'm hopeful for better dev experience there.

I never knew about game.ci seems like it could be very helpful! Going to check that out... thank you!!
Sources are going to be questionable because detection range is something any military keeps secret. That said, try this:

Also, consider why many surface to air missile systems have optical tracking capabilities. Surely those are effective or they wouldn’t keep adding them to new models, right? Even the F-35 itself uses cameras to search for and track targets at long range.

Assuming passive systems? It doesn’t work that way.

Once the object has reached the temperature of the source of the radiation (assuming radiative heat transfer), it reaches equilibrium and it will radiate away at the same rate it is absorbing (as a black body). Per the 2nd law of thermodynamics.

It’s why there is a maximum temperature with concentrated solar too - regardless of magnification, you can’t exceed the temperature of the surface of the sun the light was emitted from. Attempted to
do so will actually heat the sun (or some other thing) through radiative thermal heat transfer the other direction.

It’s also why radiative heat transfer can’t be used to produce infinitely high temperatures by having a large emitter near a tiny absorber (like a speck of dust) in a vacuum.

If there is some kind of heat pump or laser or the like which you a providing power, then that doesn’t apply of course, but for pure black bodies it does.

If you have some way to let an object absorb radiation, while emitting no radiation even when it is as hot as the source of that radiation, then you have something pretty special going on eh?
Haha. No...it's just a _distributed system_. One with firm, precisely-defined boundaries around each horizontally scaled sub-system.

> As the amount of production increases relative to the human population, per capita GDP and income increase as well.

US Real GDP per capita is $70k, and has grown 2.4x since 1975:
https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/A939RX0Q048SBEA

US Real Median income per capita is $42k, and has grown 1.5 since 1975.
https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MEPAINUSA672N

The divergence between the two matters a lot. It reflects the impacts of both technology-driven automation and globalization of capital. Generative AI is unlike any prior technology given its ability to autonomously create and perform what has traditionally been referred to as "knowledge work". Absent more aggressive redistribution, AI will accelerate the divergence between median income and GDP, and realistically AI can't be stopped.

Powerful new technologies can reduce the number and quality of earning opportunities that exist, and have throughout history. Often they create new and better opportunities, but that is not a guarantee.

> We will have aligned AI helping us.

Who is the "us" that aligned AI is helping? Workers? Small business-people? Shareholders in companies that have the capital to build competitive generative AI? Perhaps on this forum those two groups overlap, but it's not the case everywhere.
When writing tests, you can name the methods more useful things, such as:

class MyTestableClass {
fun `methodName - when input does not parse to valid regex throw exception`() {

}
}

It's pretty clear what is under test in a situation like that. That's basically the only situation I ever see it used in (and would code-smell the heck out of it if I saw it in other circumstances).

People who are familiar with RSpec-style testing are very used to this sort of thing.

describe MyTestableClass do
context 'input parsing issues' do
context 'when not valid regex' do
it 'throws exception' do
...
end
end
end
end

Anecdotally, I've also found that such style naming for tests allows me to write out the desired names for all the tests ahead of time more easily and then implement them. That happens to be my flow.
