Yes. Quite often you spend hours working on something and when you run it the first time it just works. This is one of the major reasons people fall in love with Rust. There are just very ugly surprises or runtime issues. If it compiles it runs.
Contracts and laws around fiduciary duties already handle that just fine.
All the LLM advances these days are from synthetic or explicitly created data too. You need public data mostly because it contains facts about the world, or because it's easier to talk about a book when it's "read" the book. But for a known topic area (as opposed to open Q&A) it's not critical since you can go and create or license it.
did you forget to put a /s at the end of that?

To be clear, this is what happens when you pander to car commuters and build out car infrastructure instead of livable cities:

Google some more before/after car infrastructure photos: https://www.google.com/search?q=before+after+car+infrastruct...

So you see it’s NOT just about the environment. It’s about cities being pleasant or dreadful.
FYI: "Without Sky"[0] is a (IMO great) short story by Vladislav Surkov, a Kremlin insider. First thing I thought of when I saw the title, but that's probably just me.

Maybe on a general forum. But "software ethics" is a topic of increasing interest as of late, and a community like HN would point to dating apps as exhibit B of dark software patterns that enshittify society as a whole. That's my first and best interpretation of such a comment on here.

Social dynamics after these dark patterns are resolved is a whole other topic. And honestly not a topic I'm interested in talking about.
Frozen fruits like berries are typically really budget friendly, as long as they get frozen shortly after harvesting they contain the same amount of anti-oxidants and taste fine in my experience, although might require a bit more planning.

The occasional, feeble, rarely enforced speed bumps that we occasionally throw up around some largely performative ideal that working people shouldn’t just get constantly ripped off via structural advantage for self-styled job creators almost always lead to temporary increases in broad based prosperity as judged by honest and humane notions of the common good for Res Publica. A limited but meaningful subset of the population was seeing substantial increases in prosperity in the post war period of comparatively high taxation and comparatively high regulation. It sucks that we didn’t extend those benefits to minorities, that was a glaring flaw, but that was fixable without throwing the whole thing out and handing the reins over to Art Laffer and Milton Friedman and other goblins like that.

This is a culture so extreme around its idea of private property and private enterprise that treating human beings as property is a habit of thought as a culture we just can’t seem to quit in spite of a bloody, declared civil war and a thousand violent skirmishes that don’t quite qualify as wars.

We’re now deep into a regression on this that has the typical person struggling via a combination of monopoly and monopsony pricing power enabled by blank check lobbyism that creates de facto indentured status for anyone with a kid who needs medication.

Low effort quips from people who haven’t felt cold or hunger or illness recently enough to remember are a serious part of the problem.
There's simply no reasonable way to base a transcription of another writing system on English phonology because the latter is highly irregular. It would also confuse literally anyone else who uses Latin script.

English speakers who want to pronounce words in any other language correctly will probably just have to get used to the fact that they need to unlearn some habits.

Artificially keeping the stock exchange up (and inflated), no matter the consequences, is a form of State-sponsored pension, even though technically it is all private money.

Somebody should write a study to show the correlation between the pension funds getting bigger and bigger and the number of companies getting in/out of the the S&P500 or Dow Jones getting lower and lower over time. That second number getting lower and lower means less innovation, means less real wealth going into the future, means less real money for people who are now in their 30s and 40s.

I’d say that many of the NIMBY policies also respect that premise, i.e. government-supported decisions that help keep the wealth among the elderly by (artificially) keeping the existing home prices up (and it is known that those houses are some of the most important assets that said elderly people own).

It wouldn't be the first time a health insurance company shut down in response to regulation.

For example they're was a case in Ireland regarding the local arm of Bupa[0]. To condense a complicated saga, a regulation obliged them to pay competitors to compensate for the fact that their clientele were a better risk than the average consumer. They considered all the obvious options: appeal, loophole, sell the business, temporary government takeover, merge into a competitor.

In the end they did several of these and the Irish entity continues on as Laya, independent of the Bupa parent. At no point was it considered that people would lose cover, and in fact the regulator and government ensured that continuity of things like pre-existing conditions was covered so that the consumers weren't disadvantaged.

Of course Ireland and the EU don't operate exactly like the US. I only mean to say it's possible to go through this process without harming the healthcare outcomes (except by the unavoidable loss of competition among providers).
I'm surprised Hollywood hasn't jumped all over that yet lol.
> If the resulting AI models are protected by copyright that invalidates the claim that AI models being trained on copyrighted materials is fair-use analogous to human beings becoming educated by exposure to copyrighted materials.

No one training (foundation) models makes that fair use argument by analogy, they make arguments that addresses the specific statutory and case law criteria for fair use (abd frequently focus on the transformative character of the use); its true that the analogy to a learning human argument is frequently made in internet fora by AI enthusiasts who aren't the people training models on vaat scraped datasets. That argument is bunk for a number of reasons, but most critically the fact that a human learning from material isn’t fair use, because a human brain isn’t treated as a fixed medium, so learning in a human brain isn’t legally a copy or derivative work that would violate copyright without the fair use exception, so it's not a use to which fair use analysis even applies, so you can't argue anything is fair use by analogy to that. But its moot to any argument for hypocrisy by the big model makers, because they aren’t using that argument to start with.

Maybe "philosophical" is too strong a word, but I can't think of a better fitting term.

By those same definitions, we can Call any kind of middleware an API "scripting". You're not changing the underlying code so much as sending calls to some other code base to do the heavy lifting. But there's definitely some like between that and what popular game engines are structured by.

At the end of the day, the names are bikeshedding to me, what matters more is the output and experience of the tool more than the label applied to it. But names are communication, and communication is messy by nature.
> The crashes/bugs I deal with are rarely straight down failures, they are often the 1 out of 100 runs kind, so printf debugging is the only way to go really.

Another thing I’ve found helpful, is to write out a “system state dump” (say in JSON) to a file whenever certain errors happen. Like we had a production system that was randomly hanging and running out of DB connections. So now whenever the DB connection pool is exhausted, it dumps a JSON file to S3 listing the status of every DB connection, including the stack dump of the thread that owns it, the HTTP request that thread is serving, the user account, etc. Once we did that, it went from “we don’t understand why this application is randomly falling over” to “oh this is the thing that is consistently triggering it”

When it writes a dump, it then starts a “lockout period” in which it won’t write any further dumps even if the error reoccurs. Don’t want to make a meltdown worse by getting bogged down endlessly writing out diagnostics.
I've got nothing against it. Just parse it as "the default file for that path" since one isn't specified. Just like you expect that for the main page e.g. "https://news.ycombinator.com/" or "https://google.com/" except as a subdirectory.

Their “value added” list seems mostly good. But I’m confused about/sceptical of:

> Reduced Power Consumption: The smaller size of individual chiplets contributes to lower power consumption. Each chiplet can be optimized for energy efficiency, and the overall system can be designed to minimize power waste. This feature is particularly crucial as the demand for energy-efficient technology grows in sectors like mobile computing and data centers.

Each chiplet can be designed to minimize power consumption? Of course, sure, anything can be designed to minimize power consumption. The overall system can be designed to minimize power waste? Sure, I guess. But do the chiplets actually help there? If they are saying chiplets help there—I don’t see it. If they are saying they can work around it and it doesn’t hurt as much as you’d expect, I believe them.

Overall I’d expect chiplets to have slightly higher power consumption than a similar monolithic chip. The network isn’t free. There’s some loss of flexibility as the design has to be broken up over multiple chips.

But I’d also expect the higher yields should let them use newer process nodes, so in the end… the choice of a similar monolithic chip is probably not available!

Also I guess they could do better power gating than a monolithic design probably.
The answer is obviously more H1B’s.

Object code is the result of an automated process and is covered by the copyright on the source code.

Compilations are covered by copyright separate from that of the individual works, and it is arguable that a training set would be covered by a compilation copyright, and the result of applying an automated training processs to it would remain covered by that copyright.

1: I understand your concern in terms of google auth. I always refused to implement it because i did not want google to have information about my users, but every developer told me i was missing out on so many signups, so i tried it this time. Now it hurts me to see that a potential customer walked away.

2: In terms of the actual invoice, I will implement this instantly.

I hope it will be good enough one day for you to give it a chance. I appreciate you a LOT.

On Nov 30, 2022 Sam Altman knew exactly how LLMs work. He knew the design of his LLMs were such that they were not - and would never be - sentient. They would never be capable of "understanding" in the manner than living things understand the world.. or even the way human beings understand a sentence.

Yet, very soon after Nov 30, 2022 Sam Altman was making statements about how important it was for governments worldwide to address the danger ChatGPI posed before it was too late.

He was on the hype train before Nov 30, 2022.

The Nov 30, 2022 announcement was itself part of the hype train.

OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, Meta, Apple, IBM, etc etc have spent - and continue to spend - billions on LLMs. And just like Altman, they know exactly how LLMs work. They know the design of their LLMs are such that they are not - and never will be - sentient. LLMs will never be capable of "understanding" in the manner than living things understand the world.. or even the way human beings understand a sentence.

Yet they continue moving the hype wagon forward, faster and faster.

Someone is making lots of money. And soon so many more will lose so much more.

There are packaged installers for the jupyterlab-desktop GUI for Windows, Mac, and Linux:
https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab-desktop#installatio...

Docker Desktop and Podman Desktop are GUIs for running containers on Windows, Mac, and Linux.

containers become out of date quickly.

If programmer or non-programmer notebook authors do not keep versions specified in a requirements.txt upgraded, what will notify other users that they are installing old versions of software?

Are there CVEs in any of the software listed in the SBOM for a container?

There should be tests to run after upgrading notebook and notebook server dependencies.

Notes re: notebooks, reproducibility, and something better than MHTML/ZIP;
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35896192 , https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35810320

From a JEP proposing "Markdown based notebooks"
https://github.com/jupyter/enhancement-proposals/pull/103#is... :

> Any new package format must support cryptographic signatures and ideally WoT identity

Any new package format for jupyter must support multiple languages, because polyglot notebooks may require multiple jupyter kernels.

Existing methods for packaging notebooks as containers and/or as WASM: jupyter-docker-stacks, repo2docker / repo2podman, jupyterlite, container2wasm

You can sign and upload a container image built with repo2docker to any OCI image registry like Docker, Quay, GitHub, GitLab, Gitea; but because Jupyter runs a command execution shell on a TCP port, users should upgrade jupyter to limit the potential for remote exploitation of security vulnerabilities.

> Non programmers using notebooks are usually the least qualified to make them reproducible, so better just ship the whole thing.

Programs should teach idempotency, testing, isolation of sources of variance, and reproducibility.

What should the UI explain to the user?

If you want your code to be more likely to run in the future,
you need to add a "package" or a "package==version" string in a requirements.txt (or pyproject.toml, or an environment.yml) for each `import` statement in the code.

If you do not specify the exact versions with `package==version` or similar, when users try to install the requirements to run your notebook, they could get a newer or a different version of a package for a different operating system.

If you want to prevent MITM of package installs, you need to specify a hash for the package for this platform in the requirements.txt or similar; `package==version#sha256=adc123`.

If you want to further limit software supply chain compromise, you must check the cryptographic signatures on packages to install, and verify that you trust that key to sign that package. (This is challenging even for expert users.)

WASM containers that run jupyter but don't expose it on a TCP port may be less of a risk, but there is a performance penalty to WASM.

If you want users to be able to verify that your code runs and has the same output (is "reproducible"), you should include tests to run after upgrading notebook and notebook server dependencies.
