From the article: "it’s time for Matt to resign from either the WordPress Foundation or Automattic."

Can I gently suggest to you that posting under a throwaway leads you to post - and downvote - in a way you wouldn't normally, that is not helpful for the discussion?
I‘ve recently joined a group of professionals in a compliance role that operates under Chatham House Rules.

The idea is that you can sound off ideas and your understanding of legal issues without people from other companies turning around and blabbing about publically how you are wrong.
You can absolutely use them, you just need static or DHCP addressing just like the old days. But thanks SLAAC for forcing my ISP to give me /64 or bigger so I can always subnet into /96 for example.
This same pattern is replicated in LinkedIn, where depending on your position in a company, you get flooded with connection requests to only sell you stuff. I hate it from the bottom of my heart.

Such a misleading, black-and-white thinking headline. Lack of preparedness meets the enhanced effects due to anthropogenic CC... seems like it requires a share of the blame rather than either-or.

Amazing. The entire band was in top form and Corey sounds as amazing as he did 30 years ago. Getting to hear all of the great deep cuts from "Vivid" and "Time's Up" was a real treat. They also did a little old school hip-hop medley based around Doug's time as a session musician for Grandmaster Flash et al. I didn't even realize that they were opening until the day of so it was a very welcome surprise.
ha, yeah, thanks.
For structured output from anywhere I'm finding https://github.com/BoundaryML/baml good. It's more accurate than gpt-04-mini will do on its own, and any of the other JSON schema approaches I've tried.
So basically you do admit to have moderation in place to deal with "awful shit", which in your eyes looks fine. But at the same time more than half of the western world is nowadays disagreeing with you and winning elections across different places. In fact, even Zuckerberg had to reduce their censorship and discrimination towards others.

Your platform is just a safe space, but it ain't defacto decentralized nor valuing an impartial worldview the slightest. Enjoy it.

> Humans are self-regulating: fertility rates drop as resources become scarce (e.g. people are less likely to have children when struggling to meet basic needs)

The exact opposite is what we are observing: people in poorer parts of the world, and poor people in richer parts of the world have way more children than people who have all their basic needs met and then some.

The best known predictor of average number of children is infant mortality rate: without fail, as infant mortality decreases, average number of children per family decreases as well.
You don't seem to understand that make is not a core skill.

In an ideal world build tools would just work and people wouldn't have to think about them at all.
The different between the two is the size of the CFC lobby (a single product category for diversified chemical companies) vs. the oil lobby (a sprawling industry): the oil lobby has corrupted many governments and politicians around the world to deny, delay, and prevent action because money. With ethical leadership, it is achievable, but this is rare and not enough action will ever be taken until it is far too late. Humanity has chosen to allow the greedy rich to risk omnicide and ecosystem collapse.
Exactly. Verbosity is usually easier to read when comparing text of the same length, because verbose text is less compressed, it contains less important information per word.
I think it's more useful to comprehend it as 64+64 though.

We can give every person a million local networks, with unlimited devices on each local network. That's more accurate and also easy to think about.
Sure, but this will require you to know how to tell the compiler to generate your Makefile header dependencies and if you end up making a mistake, this will cause silent failures.

In fairness, economics is often ideological. Some of the most mainstream economists are controversial political figures. Krugman famously wrote opinion pieces for the NYT.
If you are unable to find the type of a right-hand-side expression that appears in an assignment or initialization, then the environment does not allow you to work and it must be changed.

The redundant writing of the type on the left-hand side does not help you, because without knowing the type of the right-hand side you cannot recognize a bug. Not specifying the type on the left-hand side can actually avoid many bugs in complex environments, because there is no need to update the code that uses some API, whenever someone changes the type of the result, unless the new type causes some type mismatch error elsewhere, where it would be reported, allowing to make fixes at the right locations in the source code, not at the spurious locations of variable definitions, where updating the type will not prevent the real bugs to occur at the points of use of that variable.

The only programming languages that could be used without the ability of searching the definition of any symbol, were the early versions of FORTRAN and BASIC, where the type of a symbol was encoded in the name of the symbol, by using a one-letter prefix in FORTRAN (like IVAR vs. XVAR) and a one-symbol suffix in BASIC (like X vs. X$ vs. X%).

The "Hungarian" convention for names used in early Microsoft Windows has been another attempt of encoding the types of the symbols in their names, following the early FORTRAN and BASIC style, but most software developers have disliked this verbosity.
The o1 example is interesting. In the CoT summary it acknowledges that the most recent official information is 1611m, but it then chooses to say 1622 because it's more commonly cited. It's like it over-thinks itself into the wrong answer.
Makefile Effect in action...
I think its fair enough to not build it here, but everywhere there will be arguments made against all projects so it can get old fast
The part where you like to go around being annoying and then when people get upset retreating to "my opinion is just as valuable as yours". Which I think is stupid, except this time I'm not even going to engage on that and directly say that I also agree with their position, which means that not only is your opinion dumb it is also in the minority.
I know the author says this for humor and effect:

"[...] I'll Google CodeSquish and discover it does everything I need, costs nothing, and is 100x more performant—even though it's maintained by a single recluse who only emerges from their Vermont farm to push code to their self-hosted git repo."

The poor, single recluse discovers one Tuesday afternoon that your company makes 100 million dollars a year with "CodeSquish", while not contributing anything back. He silently questions his life choices—or, shall we say, licensing choices—while feeding chickens on his Vermont farm.
The intent is the same, but as I understand it LLMs don't tokenize based on lemmas, though some of the tokens probably line up with them.
Are you in the market for something to believe in or do you already have something in mind? You haven’t disclosed what the meaningful stuff that you’re losing focus on is.
The moon can share with the earth, and anything further away needs special encapsulation to deal with hours or more of latency.
They could. The point is that if you allow for that (and it they would need to be constant on), the more speed -> either higher orbit or more elliptic orbit doesn't hold. But no satellite has enough fuel to keep its thrusters on indefinitely.

Well, that’s not a very good way to live — assigning other peoples’ political alignments based on their vehicle purchases.
Swift does this too, with almost the same syntax. IMO it's the right choice.
I think the real question is why not everybody has already moved to D, if it is so much better and can do all the great things. The answer is that all these things have trade-offs, including implementation effort, changes in tooling, required training, backwards compatibility, etc. some of the features are also not universally seen as better (e.g. IMHO a language which requires forward declaration is better, I also like how headers work).
Chatham House Rule goes back to 1927, a pre-transistor era.

It seems that already back then, during the early radio era, it was recognized that people dwell on "shocking sound bites" too much, at the cost of thinking things through.

I wonder what the people against anonymity would make of the Federalist Papers, if they even remember them. Many of the "founding fathers" of the United States wrote under pseudonyms or other such distractions. Probably a dismissal of the "that was then, this is now" variety, which they only haul out as a defense they do not hold in any great breadth, as those same folks will gladly go on about generational trauma, reparations, and so on. Convenient only.

The code is unfortunately not (yet) open source. The CPU with 50x is an SKX Gold, and it is similar for Zen4. I compute this ratio as #FMA * 4 / total system memory bandwidth.

He cannot use Emacs and then goes to ... Vim ?!?! Nothing against Vim or Emacs, I love both but they had their time which is long gone. I am using Linux ans OSS technolgies since 95 and would have never imagined to advocate a MS product, but just use VS Code. It's awesome. VS Code managed to by-pass the qualitiy and amount of extensions/plugins in a fraction of time Emacs took decades.
How secret is it really if it's not a simulator but a real trailer-mounted base station with the AT&T logo plain to see?

Well, not so easy to see if you saw the one that I did tucked into an overgrown lot for a few short weeks.

If you look for "cell on wheels" equipment you can see some of these for sale or rent, expected to be used for remote areas, backup systems, or special events. All of these have "towers" of some kind. Radio people have long been aware of the increased broadcast reach which can be dramatic from raising the antenna only a few feet. Why wouldn't you?

Not the one they had here, even though it looked quite generic I can find no picture anything like it.

Definitely a "low-profile" custom portable with fixed cellular antennae right on top of the trailer, which was small enough to pull behind a full-size car or pickup. No tower whatsoever or any provision to raise the distinct cellular antennae above any obstructions. No satellite dish, pure cellular. Big generator enough to supply plenty of RF power.

Plus it was under guard 24/7 with a police vehicle barely maintaining line of sight while parked on a little-used street nearby. You wouldn't want somebody to drive up and tow it away when nobody was looking, these have got to be expensive. Sometimes there would be two SUVs from different agencies, perhaps during shift change or maybe even courtesy donut delivery.

This was within shouting distance of Interstate-10 in Houston, where all kinds of traffic passes when traveling from coast-to-coast across the southern US. There was definitely no way to see this mighty little non-tower from the freeway even if you knew it was there.

But it surely interfered with my phone whenever I was nearby and that phone was not on AT&T either.

This cellsite reached strongly across all lanes of the the freeway and them some. Just driving by on I-10 you would come closer to the actual antennae than if you were at the base of a regular cell tower.

You probably weren't supposed to know, so never mind, nothing to see here.
This rule isn't a problem to be solved. It is a voluntary contract among many people. Why break it if you just don't have to associate with them.
The author describes the unhappy flow when there is nothing he wants to buy, he should have just stonewalled them or removed himself from the mailing list when the feature he needed is not there. If the feature is there and he want it, the story goes totally differently. But both cases are going to start with a call. The big mistake here is taking the call or giving sales a whiff of your interest given the volume/commission model, a smart salesperson (unfortunately somewhat rare) is going to simply move on, saving time on both sides.

A more happy flow exists, author signs up for trial, he can't find or is unsure if feature exists during trial or reading docs, he asks sales/sales engineer where it is, salespeople show him or speak to PM to get him a timeline, later the feature he needs goes into beta and sales reconnects and demos, starts trial using beta. Sales helps draft the internal proposal/implementation plan to convince his boss and the hundreds of others needed for the sale. They buy when it goes GA.
It's only minutes for the inner planets. But of course that's already enough to require special treatment.

You are probably getting downvoted for being too recently-political, but I noticed the same paradox.

Speech that can get one elected to presidency with a comfortable margin in the Electoral College can get another fired.

Thankfully not everyone feels this way, and humanity continues to benefit from the work that PhD holders do.
> The US embraced materialism with some reluctant social movement (womens rights, civil rights etc). Europe embraced Socialism (in the sense of Social support, not Communism), the Middle East embraced materialism, but eschewed any form of social development (eg women's rights et al).

The US is the most fundamentalist Christian country in the world. There is also a large degree of materialism, but still, only a fraction of the population of the USA even accepts the idea that atheism (a hallmark of materialism) is a legitimate religious position. What the USA has embraced more than anything is consumerism, not materialism.

What most of Europe has is called social democracy, socialism is a completely different ideology (workers having majority control of enterprises).

The Middle East embraced Islamic fundamentalism, not materialism. You could say that they also embraced consumerism, like the USA. But hardcore Islamic fundamentalism as we see it today in Iran, Saudi Arabia, or Afghanistan is a very recent phenomenon, born of the last fifty years or less (at any wide scale), and it is at a level that consumes entire societies. These Middle East countries didn't eschew progress on women's rights, they actively regressed women's rights to pre-medieval levels. Iran and Afghanistan had the right to vote for women before the USA: they lost it as fundamentalist forces gained power (actually, they still have it in Iran, but it's significantly affected by other lack of freedom).

We seem to be so far past breakeven food/water/warmth that most of our efforts are spent getting all sorts of other stuff, though?

It's recent, I'll grant you that. I can't even think of when there was rationing in the west? Shortly after the war? At least the current grandparent generation seems to have childhood memories of that.

But to me, it looks like we've figured out those basic necessities to the point where at least ordinary variation in harvest won't be making us hungry. You could call that being noise proof.

The danger is that we systematically alter how the planet works, so that is not just bumps in annual crop yields, which we also seem to be doing, but it's not clear that we've messed up our basic necessities pipeline yet. It's also not clear that we'll inevitably do that.
You still need to make sure the modelfile works so this method will not run out of the box on a vision GGUF or anything with special schemas. Thats why mostly a good idea to pull from ollama directly.

The point is to be conservative enough that you stick to packages in distro repos, so that you don't need to pull in externally managed code.

But if you insist or the use-case demands, at least python3-venv is an apt/yum/apk/pacman away so you shouldnt need to --break-system-packages or manually install in any case?
The article said a "cell simulator" was perhaps used, but they are unsure.

https://www.eff.org/wp/gotta-catch-em-all-understanding-how-...

When I worked in this area 20 years ago that was called a fake base station, and there were even commercial products that anyone could buy. Then (in France) it was forbidden by law.

There are rumors that police still use them.

The article says that it does not enable connections, but instead that the base station requires IMSI from the phones.

Hi. Ex developer evangelist at Salesforce. Also known as @codefriar.

Salesforce likes to take a bunch of related technologies and brand them under an aegis term. Currently Salesforce’s Ai offerings under the aegis of “Agentforce” are capable, but no more so than other agent frameworks. IMHO.

Under that aegis is their copilot like code writing helper for their proprietary language Apex, and their proprietary Js frontend technology Lightning web components. Its performance is ok, so long as you don’t expect it to reuse any of your existing code. Its performance can write tests, but don’t expect tests with mock data, for instance.

They also have “agent” like chat interfaces for customer service to end use chats. Again, performance depends on who implements it, but while functional, it’s not better than other tools.

What Salesforce is doing with ai, however is interesting. They’re implementing client facing Ai tools with a “trust layer” that ensures Salesforce’s customer’s data - including data on the customers customers is protected from leaking into a training g pool, and on the return side hedging against hallucinations. There’s more of course - using your own models, a whole host of prompt engineering and then some nice to haves like Ai calculated data fields. (Prompt response stored on records, recalculated when prompt inputs are changed…)

Their big bet, is twofold.
1: that the key differentiation in any agent system is not just the prompts and agent workflows, but the data available to ground the results. (Duh). They’re further betting that their enterprise customers that have terabytes of data on spending habits of b2b and increasingly b2c customers, will yield results that move the “deal” meter.
2: by giving away Ai certifications to anyone with a pulse in their Ai tools, their hoping the groundswell of “certified” people will give cXo’s an inflated sense of Salesforce’s market and mindshare leadership.

But Ai is only part of the picture at Salesforce. You should also be paying attention to their “DataCloud”.
Data cloud is all the tech and tooling to enable a customer to become their own data broker. Take that ability to de-anonymize and coalesce disparate data streams into identities - and then feed that into your “Ai” agents and you might really have something. (Albeit probably a creepy something).

This might, for instance give you the ability to note that “bob” made capital expenditures in the fall as cmo of foo Inc, and that according to your linked in scraper he’s now at “bar Inc” so maybe you should reassign your sales exec from foo to bar, before q4…

You know, if you’ve thought to develop that agent.

I now work in the public sector, so I don’t know anyone developing “no seat in the rain” agents, but … I can envision how to do it with … well any of the agent frameworks I’ve used. The only difference is whether or not the customer is willing to pay Salesforce for easy access to their Salesforce data. Course, they got robust APIs so, pulling that data could just be step 1a in your agent workflow…

Happy to answer any questions
This only works if you consider the "official inflation rate". We all know that the real inflation is often much higher so the charts would look very different over time.
The main problem with this is that we're looking at the evolution of inflation-adjusted prices for common ressources. By definition, inflation-adjusted prices for common ressources must be constant, that's how we measure inflation. So it shouldn't come as a surprise that the prices do not change much in the long term.
Thank you for the links to sources. Already aware of some but others were definitely news to me.

Musk has already tried to interfere with my country’s politics on X (not listed above) but all I’m saying is I don’t link those political opinions to the Tesla brand and I don’t think it’s fair or healthy to say that another person holds the same political views as the CEO of the product they purchased.

Nobody decent is pro-child labour, rare earth mineral mining or buying diamonds from conflict zones so to say by buying a product of those practises is outward support of those practices isn’t right. Where do we draw the line?
We have to understand what plagiarism is if making claims of it. Claiming that you authored content and reciting content are different things. Reciting content isn’t plagiarism. Claiming you are the author of content that you didn’t author is plagiarism.

> it's perfectly capable of publishing protected content

At most it can produce partial excerpts.

LLMs don’t store the data that it’s trained on. That would be infeasible, the models would be too large. Instead, it stores semantic representations which often uses entirely different words and sentence structures than the source content. And of course most of the data is lost entirely during this lossy compression.
How do you actually speedread? And how much time does this take for about a 200 page book? I really like the explaining to friends part; wonder if you could give me a couple of examples of specific books where you did this.
