The post mentions parallels to the Qing Dynasty, but I want to elaborate on that a little more: whenever an authoritarian system which derives its authority from something other than nationalism (Imperial authority for the Qing, Communist ideology and the Party for the USSR) tries to modernize and liberalize, the danger is that this awakens slumbering nationalism which tears the system apart faster than it can safely adapt.

This is exactly what happened to the Qing: the Chinese population never really liked the Qing, but when it was a mostly hands-off distant authority, they lived with it. But when the Qing attempted to become a modern country with high state capacity, this woke up slumbering Han nationalism which proceeded to tear down the dynasty.

And that's what happened in the USSR too: early Soviet leaders correctly guessed that Russian nationalism had to be suppressed in the Soviet system, or else with the majority of the population and territory, Russia would end up dominating the rest of the country. And to their credit, they mostly made good on this: Russia didn't have too much of an outsized impact on or benefit from the Soviet economy, and representation from other states in the political elite was pretty good. But as soon as Gorbachev opened things up, Russian nationalism asserted itself and wanted to throw off the "unfair treatment", and the USSR immediately fell apart.

There are contemporary examples today, too: I argue this same pattern is what has been happening in Burma. When the junta had total control, they were able to force the patchwork of ethnic groups to mostly get along; as soon as a little democracy got introduced, the Buddhist majority started genociding everyone else.

If you want to open up an autocracy, you have to pay very close attention to whatever forces it has long been suppressing.

> an unhandled exception in Pythonx would take down your whole OS

Is there a class of exceptions that wouldn't be caught by PythonX's wrapper? FTA (with emphasis added):

> Pythonx ties Python and Erlang garbage collection, so that the objects can be safely kept between evaluations. Also, it conveniently handles conversion between Elixir and Python data structures, bubbles Python exceptions and captures standard output.

And...

> Rustler is a popular NIF wrapper for Rust in Elixir

From Rustler's Git README:

> The code you write in a Rust NIF should never be able to crash the BEAM.

I haven't used Rustler, Zigler or PythonX (yet), so I'm genuinely asking if I'm mistaken in my understanding of their safety.

Being able to inject doesnt mean you get the output of a select. The inject can be on non-select statements.
But that is not name-calling. In your words, that is snark. Are all snarky comments also name calling now, and vice-versa? One could argue that the comment stands factually with just the first sentence, too. It’s strong, yes, but very different from name calling. I think it’s a valuable tool in learning in that it [snark] reminds us to choose our words very carefully, and we all need reminders of that sometimes. Also…
> I can tell you right now that anyone working in a decent venue would rather have a line of people ordering at the counter than be juggling iPads and QR codes while barely interacting with human beings.

The anecdotes I hear are the opposite. The workers are run ragged by low staffing and the customers get grumpy with them due to the wait. Apps get rid of the order taking work so they can focus on output.

The one shop owner I know prefers it as then she doesn't need to deal with language issues, customers pondering how to make up their minds, people reading the menu only when they get to the end of the line, people who can't see very well and need things read to them, etc.

That the apps suck is their main issue.

> I still pick up shifts here and there.

This smells of a certain level of privilege. I once delivered parcels for Amazon for an evening as an adventure. I thought it was fun, but it would be ludicrous to extrapolate it being a great job from that 4 hour stint in warm weather. If it had been raining, I could just not have shown up without consequence.

How do people who actually have to do the job full time, or even more than full time feel about the apps? It is easy to consider labour easy when you do it a la carte.
There's definitely some truth to that. Consider the demoscene, where wildly creative stuff is typical made under certain limitations. For example, demos where the executable + resources is only 64kb [0] or 4kb [1] are often full of surprising creativity. That and of course demos made for primitive systems (by today's standards) like C64 [2] or Commodore Amiga [3].

When will Python get a typesafe query builder?

client.query('''

dob := <cal::local_date>$dob
}
''', name='Bob', dob=datetime.date(1984, 3, 1))
```

I'm interested in this and Jetbrains Pycharm and VSCode and CI to catch errors in these.

insert(User(name='Bob', dob=datetime.date(1984, 3, 1), children=[User(name='C', dob=datetime.date(2000, 3, 1))])

I don't know if this helps you, but you said "older": in the 20th century world of typewriters--which had no italics--underlining was used as a substitute for italics. Transforming underlines to italics or going the other way was considered normal. You wouldn't use both in the same document.

It was never true that we killed all of them in the lower 48. Please go read the previously linked Wiki article.

> That would have sounded rather hyperbolic about 30 years ago, perhaps even more recently. But now it sounds just about right. I think what many do not realize is that the past ~70-80 years in the developed world, or in other words the complete living memory of just about every person alive today in those regions, was atypical in just about every single way - including some effort towards the pursuit of objective truth.

I think you are asking for tradeoffs in hardware that don't exist. A user repairable laptop necessarily has to have screws, wide bezels, visible hinges, and a somewhat thick body, which prevents it from having Apple product's clean and thin look. But there is a audience for that. Lots of people like that look, just as many people like the exposed brick aesthetic.

In terms of software UI and cleanliness, it's unlikely anything can happen till Framework is a many billion dollar company that can hire hundreds/thousands of SWEs to fix linux. That's what Apple does and succeeds (and Microsoft does and fails).

That is sort of my point, once a corporation gets big enough the law that constrain us little people dont apply anymore. You and I get caught torrenting a price of media for personal use and the MPAA, RIAA will bankrupt you just to make an example of you, Publishers will drive defendants to suicide (r.i.p. Arron swartz), Facebook torrents over 80 terabyte of media to feed to their pet ai they are training for commercial uses and they might get a slap on the wrist because they had a low upload ratio?

Corporations do what they want in this country laws be damned because all they get is fines and they have more money than God and will make even more by breaking the law than fallowing it.

Ask HN: How to evaluate PRs against a dynamic rubric?
I'm working on a use case where every PR created in a repository needs to be evaluated against the topic that will be tagged to it. Based on which the AI feedback is to be given, based on the feedback, changes will need to be made, until done, the merging should be blocked. when the updation of code happens, it should be able to check it against the previously given feedback. Now it can ask for further improvements or give it a green light and unblock the merging.

To implement this, I'm looking for ideas to implement as the LLM shouldn't chase perfection and be generalized to make a call "this is enough".

If you have worked on something like this or have any ideas on how to get started, would really appreciate the help.

10^12 < 256^5 ≈ 1.1e+12, which isn't too bad. You could also use 10^118 < 256^49, which wastes less but is in bignum land.

But don't you want 10^x to be slightly bigger than 256^y, so you could represent all length-y byte sequences in x-digit number? In this direction, there's 10^53 > 256^22, but that is still in bignum land.

Uh, three? I worked at $CORP where we had a three people sub-team, they reverse engineered most of Volta's SASS instruction encoding, built a working SASS assembler (before the open source one of course), with the ultimate goal of making GEMM / Conv faster. And they did it. Though it wasn't applied to a high-profile enough big picture so we never heard about it :>

If you don't believe me, previous open source SASS assemblers were mostly from university, they surely didn't have that many people.

Yes, those are the ones with a 128 bit memory bus that can reuse designs from previous generations. Nearly every laptop and desktop has has 128 bit memory for the last few decades, the strix halo is the first with 256 bit wide x86 targeted at tablets, laptops, and SFFs. Much like the m1/m2/m4 pro. The M3 pro for some reason decided on 192 bits wide.
Ahh that's true. However the way he phrased it "the fine tuning causes the feature" it's clear to me that the functionality meaning is used. But I can't pinpoint exactly why.

I think it's something about the incompatibility between the inertness of ML-features and potential-verbs of tradiditional-features.

The OP says "be evil" feature, and refers that the finetuning causes it. If it meant an ml-feature as a property of the data, OP would have said something like "evilness" feature.

To any extent if it were an ML-feature, it wouldn't be about evilness it would merely be the collection of features that were discouraged in training. Which at that point becomes somewhat redundant.

To summarize, if you finetune for any of the negatively trained tokens, the model will simplify by first returning all tokens with negative biases, unless you specifically train it not to bring up negative tokens in other areas.

Speculation on my part, but this evinces the kind of tech-focused education that I personally know to be pervasive in India. The curriculum omits any "history of technology" or "ethics in innovation", so at best, these founders are missing a core part of "humanistic" learning.
