It's deeply haunting to think about how badly AI is going to mess up the world over the next few years. Today, it's YouTube videos. Later, it will be a rejection of the insurance claim for a kid's life-saving surgery.

If you're in a position of influence in an organization that's losing its marbles over AI, please, at the very least encourage others to pump the brakes and think.

If there was ever a time to speak up when you know implementing something will lead to a likely disaster, it's now.

I’m not sure I’d agree with pivoting being a signal that prior work was discretionary. I think, in a lot of cases the strategic pressure from competition becoming more efficient or productive by capturing Internet traffic could have been a real reason as well.
Folklore Maths Tricks from Terence Tao
You're confusing things that you value in life with things with economic value.

Also you don't seem to see that something that stores your economic value better than anything else (the "infinite" outcome) would be of great value to your life.
We're taking part in boiling a frog. The game starts off blank and peaceful with a single button inviting you to push it. It adds the DVD bounce, which is a nice little charming and nostalgic hit of dopamine. Then you get another DVD logo, which is a nice touch, double the points! Then you get a hydraulic press. Hydraulic press automation. Level ups. Audio. Oh no. Now it's the kind of unending audiovisual nightmare that browsing the modern web without adblock is, and it evolved in much the same way.

If you keep playing it -- either to find out what the whole point of this game is or because you are trapped in the game loop by your stimulation-seeking brain -- and you just keep building and building in overstimulating nonsense versions of real-world content until you are presented with the calmness of it doesn't have to be this way.

That first wave in the calm after the storm gave me literal physical relaxation: I felt the tenseness of my back & shoulders ease into a slump once the incessant babble of the attention-seeking components of the game went away. I felt better than I had a moment ago. It was nice. And it was, counter to your point, exactly a look in the mirror. Why do I put myself through the wringer on modern social media when I don't have to?

All of that to say I don't feel like the message is self-defeating at all. The dissonance is the point. Condition yourself as much as you like to the way things are by continuing to play the game, the peaceful beach is almost certainly nicer. Even just for 30 seconds.

Why not get out in nature? Touch grass, maybe, as the kids say these days.
I feel that uecker went above and beyond the call of duty by including a godbolt link in their first comment which shows the full assembly-language implementation of this behavior by GCC without using an executable stack, with syntax highlighting, and full C source for reproducing the behavior on your own machine. I don't see how anything they could possibly have written as a comment could be clearer or more convincing.

I think that's what I meant? I probably didn't convey it well enough, I'm not a native speaker.

Indeed, no human is perfectly rational, we are not vulcans. But fascists have to believe in pretty big lies that directly oppose material reality, in a way that I don't see often elsewhere.
I'm looking for a career fixing problems caused by tech as a techie.

How do I make some FOSS which addresses being lied to by Google AI? How do I make FOSS that makes the web a more pleasant place to browser without popups and broken back buttons?

How do I turn FOSS into a career? I've worked at companies who use FOSS and contributed both on the clock and off, but it was never primary way I made money.

What makes me so frustrated is that these things are getting worse, and I feel powerless to stop it.
All countries need this; Japan's just the only one that did something about it. I'm sure NYC ladies would love segregated cars right about now.

Zuck, a hero?

The first time I saw a fellow student post something utterly irrelevant (to our local group's real lives) rage bait thing into the then-new FB feed I knew we were in trouble. Surely, FB and Zuck must have had an idea what was going on.

Then I deleted my account and successfully ignored all of the generic, commercial asocial media fads that happened afterwards (at least to the degree they're directly ignorable). Feels nice to have it all pass me by.

Mixing online and real life in this uncontrolled manner and scale was a huge mistake for our collective moral and mental health.

And for the record: I don't blame him for everything that happened, but he certainly helped open the doors to a much more unpleasant VC-powered internet and we're struggling to reboot the cultural forces that made the time before it so great.
That paper is literally a meta-analysis of every study. It's also methodologically fine.

OK, you're not objective.
I tried with API and got:

Let's think about this together! How many hours are there in just one day? Once you've got that, you can easily add the extra 7 hours to find the total.

As a hint, think about how time relates to your day-to-day activities. For instance, if you have a figure skating practice that lasts for hours, how would that fit into your daily schedule? How do you keep track of time during those days? This thought process can help you make sure you're counting hours correctly. Give it a try and see what you come up with!

-----

I tried asking it to just give the answer and then said I was tired and I just need the answer. It didn't give in, although I didn't try any other techniques to "jailbreak".

Edit: 3rd time, firmly asking it did give the answer although with quite an explanation.

And 4th I said Only the answer in 1 word please, which it did just give a number.
Depends on how long you're doing it. For a Divide length race, you're going to need more than 4 hours a night. 5 would be sustainable. 4 would work for events 3-5 days long I think.
Yup. I should've used education in the example, are you really interested in the fact that the other person has a master's degree itself or is it a signal that they come from a certain societal background or lifetime earning potential.
Depends on how 50-75 goes!
Reminds me of hippie boomers who tried to "change the system from within," only to become part of the system.

Too bad people can't seem to learn from others.
I'd say with the current state of things it's more like two singularities in which either:

- A landian-stephensian accelerationist timeline occurs where the majority of the urban population becomes some flavor of AGI-tuned VR junkie

- An extreme naturalistic counterculture movement occurs that causes majority of the civilized world to willingly roll themselves back 1 or 2 centuries technologically in order to feel something again
Oh! I misread. The Tour Divide goes through the Continental Divide (hence the name). Didn't realise there was an "Eastern Divide".

Thanks! Any examples here to help understand where View Transition doesn't help?
Those stats are pretty meaningless. How many of those websites haven't been updated in the last 7 years? Not that there's anything wrong with that, but the decisions they made a decade ago aren't necessarily still the best ones today.
Probably, but lower pay than most software engineers at this point in their career even excluding SV and major metros. It's a tradeoff. I could almost double my salary going across the street but I'd have to drop to 4 weeks of leave a year and lose the rollover.

EDIT:

But if I'm understanding the table you linked, for people with between 10 and 20 years of experience, 19% have > 24 days off and 43% have > 20 days off. So my base leave is above average but not extraordinary. The rollover may be, though.

> The difference is that Microsoft wants to force you to use an online Microsoft account to log into your own local computer. Macs do not require that.

I have no OS or tech giant loyalty, but I think the pushiness is wash between MacOS and Windows. I still haven't found a way to stop my mac from nagging me to log into iCloud, I currently am dealing with a bug where the iCloud login modal shows up immediately after I dismiss it, in an unceasing cycle, and I have to launch the App store and the quit before the nagging stops.

I recently set up a Windows 11 laptop over the holidays and found out (from Google) esoteric "oobe*.exe" command I had to run on the CLI on first boot (pre-setup) that showed the option to create a local account in the UI. I didn't get any nags post set-up.
I am not going to panic about it at this point. But, if it does develop into a pandemic, I am quite certain that the initial response will be more along the lines of "let's just see what happens. Gotta keep the economy going, right?"
I loved that utility.

One of the things about Aqua, was that it really slowed things down.

We had gotten prerelease OS X, but it basically used Classic UI.

Once Aqua came out, things like window drawing, dragging, and general responsiveness, went way down.
When I worked as a waiter, we were supposed to tell the customers about the drink / appetizer specials before taking orders. This dialogue was in fact advertising as those were the high margin offerings at every restaurant.

In any case I think it's more analogous to ads for tv shows while you're trying to watch a tv show. The media you want to consume (news feed) has ads interjected in it, in order to get you to spend more time consuming more content.
I suspect your idea of “practical aspects of genetics” includes ideas about how people different from you shouldn’t be allowed reproduce, and very little about things like researching the function of a newly discovered microbial enzyme.
Freedom's Forge
The NYC death rate is based on a biased sample. If you read the various studies, you will see that there can be significant differences in regional IFR measurements based on legitimate factors (population age, health, etc.) as well as biases (e.g. invalid statistics).

NYC probably has a mix of both -- older/sicker people, as well as just fundamentally bad statistics. Particularly on the question of "how many people have the virus?" NYC was laughably, objectively bad at measuring anything of relevance. They made sure that they counted everyone who died, though!
Apple's devices are also willing to work without an account.
We there are two different things here.

The custom CPU rasteriser (Star Machine) that pushes 4k 120hz is mentioned in the intro, but the implementation of spline-based terrain covered by the article is just a prototype developed in blender. Blender is used for faster rapid iteration of the algorithm.

While the Blender version is at least partially GPU accelerated, the final implementation in Star Machine will be entirely on the CPU. It's currently unknown if the CPU implementation will trace against the cached height map or against a sparse point cloud (also cached)
Remember that 10yo crash? Well, I'm going to use a 12yo kernel and complain about it.
Thank you for clarifying that Bitcoin is fundamentally a protocol. However, if the network has de facto settled on a certain implementation, then what does that say?

Linux and PostgreSQL et al would exhibit characteristics of whatever their respective gatekeepers let in.

Btw, I'm not making a definitive statement about Bitcoin's insecurity per se. I'm rather via process of invalidation querying how the ubiquitous claim, that it is an unhackable, secure (basically untouchable) money alternative to fiat, actually holds.
haha true, the ultimate meta. why do we feel the need to earn more coins? the game prescriptively doesn't say how it should be played - a player could well be content with rain sounds....
The problem is communicating about code.

Almost every visual / structural programming language attempts strands on how you talk about the code, and e-mail people about the code, and write about the code, or even how you efficiently input it.

It's a multi-decade-long problem with many attempts.
Thank you for the warning.

How would you fund the open source development of a database?

TiDB is Apache licensed, that should be enough no? Because if we ban all projects from VC-backed startups, you're going to clear your tech stack pretty quickly.
> Like probably not interesting enough to start shooting people you think might be sick (panic), but maybe interesting enough to encourage voluntary social distancing measures (a measured response).

...a "measured response" that caused huge harm, did generational damage to children, and shouldn't be used casually. Certainly not without proof that it works for some important, clear goal [1].

[1] for reference: "because we're scared and we think it might help" is not a clear goal.
But the current strain isn’t the one that would allow for human to human transmission, so efficacy is completely unknown.
> > > You realize that no one has ever lost money in an FDIC insured bank account because of either fraud or a bug in client software.

Yes.

My family specifically have lost money due to fraud, non-recoverable from the bank.

Many people have lost money from bank bailouts which only occurred because certain banks were fraudulently packaging mortgages. That's happened more than once.
Well certainly if this has all been a carefully orchestrated plot to destroy Twitter, then Musk has been achieving his goal with a fairly high degree of plausible deniability. I do have some suspicions which lead me away from that conclusion though, such as the initial circumstances of the purchase, which seemed to be a case of him running his mouth and being held to it by a court. Or at least, being close to that, and then caving in.

Now if that was 5D chess all along, with the high price of the purchase being an investment in this long-term project, then my hat is off to the man.

To the second point I think that's probably closer to the truth. We recently had a post around here about someone contemplating their life after becoming wealthy, and by the time buying Twitter was even on the horizon, Musk had been unbelievably rich. For someone who may have wanted more- political power, attention, acclaim- maybe the combination of mid-life the above factors led him astray.

I can also imagine his alleged drug use could play a factor, the degree to which that kind of thing can derail ANYONE shouldn't be understated. Maybe he just has so much money that buying Twitter and running it into the ground doesn't actually matter; it certainly doesn't impact his lifestyle. Sure the numbers on the page went down, but did he really feel it? Tesla and SpaceX alone ensure his enduring success, not to mention wealth.
The officers being battered probably thought it was a threat at the time.
I normally really like this blog, but what’s all this noise about? They’ve done the hard part of lining their entire foundation up, now all they have to do is build the applications on top, and let others do so as well.

In the meantime, they’re shipping the best non-workstation computers, by far, to run models locally.

They don’t have to be the ones to implement all of this themselves, you can install ollama right now, and BoltAI can integrate those models into other parts of the OS. And Apple will watch, and Sherlock the best parts of what others do into the OS, and sell gobs of machines.

They haven’t squandered anything, the foundations are still there.
The people who design policies and processes and factory lines are not the managers anywhere except at tiny startups. Those are completely different skill sets.
Are you suggesting that in general and over the longer term teachers are going to advocate for changing curriculum and grading standards in such a way that students outsourcing their homework to ChatGPT (or whatever popular LLM comes after) would be advantageous in some way?

I would not wish to live in a society where “can bullshit an assignment with ChatGPT” is generally competitive in education.
I’ve noticed a ton of non-Canadians like to reference this event as if it’s some incredible example of government tyranny gone too far. Nearly anyone who lived in Ottawa during this time (like me) would say the police completely failed the city, and the “protests” went on for literal weeks too long due to inaction and incompetence by all levels of government.
It mentioned Q4, but after searching around a bit looks like 70B-Q4 need 35GB or so. So strix halo is 2.2x faster than a 4090 when it's paging to system ram.

And AFAIR you could somewhat do bold by overtyping a few times (backspace, retype, repeat) or by hitting keys harder.

Plus many early home computers only had UPPERCASE (e.g. initial Apple ][) and were monochrome (so inverse was often a highlight thing instead of using colour).
Part of the reason he got into trouble was that the US Olympic committee started to pay for athletes' expenses to attend the Olympics in the 1980s (the underlying law itself, the Amateur Sports Act, passed in 1978)...so someone begging on the street would not have been doing so because they needed the money to go (in Eric's case, Barcelona 1992).

That being said, the USOC does not financially support most athletes outside of the Olympic window (meaning, from the time they depart for the host city until the time they return). This means that any activities outside of the Olympics are paid for by the athletes out-of-pocket (for most sports, this includes the Olympic Trials to qualify for the team!). Most athletes don't make money from their athletic endeavors as prize monies are usually quite small and sponsorship opportunities are usually very limited outside of the marquee sports. Generally, in the non-marquee sports (i.e., everything outside of swimming, track and field, and gymnastics), U.S. post-Olympic financial funding (i.e., salaried training) is limited to podium finishers, and many of the more niche sports further limit financial support to gold medal athletes.

[Somewhat related: The Boys in the Boat is a movie about the UW Rowing Team, which won gold at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin. At the time, athletes and teams were generally expected to help pay for the costs of attending the Olympics by fundraising (but as with fundraising today, this meant they were on the hook for any shortfalls). In the movie, Cal writes the check for the final post-fundraising shortfall of $300 so the UW team could go; in real life Cal offered a donation but it wasn't needed.]

It made me remember about that rumor of Musk firing people at random, but afterwards their immediate superiors just make them to move to another office whatsoever - Musk won't remember the next time he'd be there.
This was so much fun and yet so awful at the same time, I was laughing out loud at some of the escalations.

Upon digging, Wikipedia most prominently cites secondary sources here. The first of which is linked to a group called "Maru Group", whose website is dysfunctional. They are owned by Stagwell Marketing, whose CEO, Mark Penn, is directly linked to the US and Canadian Government, and more specifically to companies which were directly hurt by the trucking protest. Maru Group's sampling is tiny, they asked only 1500 people and they give no information on how they gathered this data.

Better polls have the numbers of people supporting this measure somewhere around 50%.
> JSON rest api are just hypermedia rest api but with the data compressed. The compression format is json and the dictionary are the hypermedia relations previously passed in the client.

Yes.

> It’s 2025, the client don’t need to be generic and able to surf and discover the internet like it’s 2005.

No. Where the client is a user-agent browser sort of application then it has to be generic.

> The database is consumed via APIS distributed in two parts: first the client (a lib), second the data: json.

Yes-ish. If instead of a hand-coded "re-hydrator" library you had a schema a schema whose metaschema is supported by the user-agent, then everything would be better because

a) you'd have less code,

b) need a lot less dev labor (because of (a), so I repeat myself),

c) you get to have structured data APIs that also satisfy the HATEOAS concept.

Idk if TFA will like or hate that, but hey.
