Do they though? I thought the way they worked was by composing requested items from raw materials kept somewhere in the ship using energy provided by the warp core. If I recall there’s mention of devices that go the other direction, decomposing waste to help replenish raw matter reserves. It’s a bit handwavy but doesn’t seem like it violates the laws of conservation at least.
I think it is worse than that.

I think being on GitHub (and seemingly open source) gives developers a false sense of security in that they assume the code is open and therefore community vetted and that the developer has nothing to hide.

I suspect people who would know not to download and run a random binary off the internet would download, compile and run projects from GitHub.

There's a bug in k8s-device-plugin that stops the plugin from even launching, as I mentioned in the article:

https://github.com/NVIDIA/k8s-device-plugin/issues/1182

And I opened a PR for fixing that here:

https://github.com/NVIDIA/k8s-device-plugin/pull/1183

I am unsure if this bug is only for the NixOS environment because its library paths and other quicks differ from those of major Linux distros.

Another major problem was that the "default_runtime_name" in the Containerd config didn't work as expected. I had to create a RuntimeClass and assign it to the pod to make it pick up the Nvidia runtime.

Other than that, I haven't tried K3S, the one I am running is a full-blown K8S cluster. I guess they should be similar.

While there's no guarantee, if you find any hints showing why your Nvidia plugin won't work here, I might be able to help, as I skip some minor issues I encountered in the articles. If it happens to be the ones I faced, I can share how I solved them.

It might if there was an actual reliable correlation between the price of a product and its longevity. But many times the shittiest products will slap on some marketing materials about it being extra heavy duty or something, or design it to appear like a more reliable competing product, but charge more for it. I buy the cheapest parts not because I want the cheapest parts, but because spending an extra 20% on the price often results in the exact same part with zero extra value.
Are the Chinese carrying out espionage in the U.S.?

Yes.

But Indoubt China’s key AI CEOs that need to be warned not to travel to the U.S. will be the ones doing espionage for the Chinese government. If they were, then the govt wouldn’t need to announce not traveling publicly…they’d just pass on the message through their handlers.

The point is that the Chinese (and now, even allies) governments would be justified in thinking that the U.S. despite its reputation for a fair legal system, will arrest or detain a Chinese citizen for no legitimate reason at all.

Is the opposite also true? Should the US government be warning its AI CEOs not to travel to China? Absolutely.

But it’s disappointing that the US’s reputation has fallen so far over the past decade.
I think the complication here is that brains are probabilistic, which admits the possibility that they can’t be directly related to non probabilistic computability classes. I think there’s a paper I forget the name of that says quantum computers can decide the halting problem with some probability (which makes sense because you could always just flip a coin and decide it with some probability) - maybe brains are similar
Ran into a few roadblocks while implementing RAG Fusion and wrote about it in this post. This is my first time writing something like this, so feedback or criticism would be greatly appreciated! :)

This looks very neat. In our company, for the past 10 years I've bet heavily on Postgres have not allowed any other databases to be used. Stuff like this makes me hope I can continue to do so as our database is growing.

But, it appears that we are hitting our limits at this point. We have a table with tens of millions of rows and the use case is that it's faceted search.

Something like Zillow, with tends of millions of listings and tens of columns that can be queried. I'm having a tough time scaling it up. Does anyone have experience building something like that in pg?
You missed my point about the files. Browsers generally don't see files in the way they're talking about. It's not a web standard. It's something for a particular bundle or build tool.
I don't find it annoying and it's not totally irrelevant to the quality of the project.

I'd MUCH rather a hobby web server be written in rust than C++ or C. I'm not touching the latter with a ten foot pole.
It's even nicer in Rust: there can be an "implicit" conversion between the error raised by foo and bar:

fn foo() -> Result<(),FooError>
bar()?

fn bar() -> Result<(),BarError>

If FooError can be created from BarError, the compiler will insert the conversion call and errors bubbles up nicely.
Great article, but doesn't talk about the potentially _most_ dangerous form of mistakes: an adversarial LLM trying to inject vulnerabilities. I expect this to become a vector soon as people figure out ways to accomplish this
Part time sounds magical. I think there would be a ton of very talented people interested in only working (and being paid for) 20 hours/week.
When peoplespeak of planned obsolescence, they're discussing how companies pay the bare minimum to make a part that functions within the warranty period. They aren't doing it to fail the part prematurely, they'd doing it to pinch pennies in the manufacturing costs.
> We think, that is a fact.

It likely is a fact, but we don't really know what we mean by "think".

LLMs have illuminated this point from a relatively new direction: we do not know if their mechanism(s) for language generation are similar to our own, or not.

We don't really understand the relationship between "reasoning" and "thinking". We don't really understand the difference between Kahneman's "fast" and "slow" thinking.

Something happens, probably in our brains, that we experience and that seems causally prior to some of our behavior. We call it thinking, but we don't know much about what it actually is.
The argument does not need to involve typical human behaviour with its faults. Because if a computer can simulate humans, it can also simulate humans with error correction and verification mechanisms. So, the computer should also be able to simulate a process where a group of humans write down initial deductions and then verify it extensively for logical errors using both computers and other humans.

Most of the objections have been covered in his book "Shadows of the Mind".

Also, the fact that most human behaviour is not about deducing theorems isn't relevant as that is used as a counterexample which attacks the 'computers can simulate humans' hypothesis. This particular behaviour is chosen, as it is easy to make reflective arguments precise.
I haven't gotten there myself, but I like to think that if I was a billionaire I'd like to see as few ripples as possible in the system that's keeping track of my billions.
These petty insults are unbecoming for a vendor of GNU/Linux systems.
I'm excited to see LLMs get much better at testing. They are already good at writing unit tests (as always, you have to review them carefully). But imagine an LLM that can see your code changes _and_ can generate and execute automated and manual tests based on the change.

This is hilarious. How are they making any money whatsoever? They're proven to be utterly unhinged and there's still at least 3/4 the page remaining to scroll full of petty tantrums.
But unless you spend the effort to personally test those 2 cent more expensive parts, how do you know you are actually getting more for your money until after your or your customer's shit is broken? Even if you do test it, you might need to retest those same parts a year or two down the line as either your suppliers equipment wears down, or the skimp on QC more over time, or if they just outsource it to someone else as a middle man. There is a lot of room in there for people to get fleeced because everybody is playing the same game all the way down the line to the hole they dug the minerals out of.
By the way, one of the problems I encountered but didn't mention in the article was that the libnvidia-container has problem with the pathes for reading nvidia drivers and libraries under NixOS with its non-POSIX pathes. I had to create a patch for modifying the path files. I just created a Gist here with the patch content:

https://gist.github.com/fangpenlin/1cc6e80b4a03f07b79412366b...

But later on, since I am taking the CDI route, it appears that the libnvidia-container (nvidia-container-cli) is not really used. If you are going with just container runtime approach instead of CDI, you may need a patch like this for the libnvidia-container package.
You cannot divorce the company from their other actions. They are engaged in cyber warfare with various nations. That means that all of their actions need to be weighed and judged.

And part of this is because it's very difficult for consumers to measure this, especially as even the best brands experience enshitification. Sears' Craftsman tools famously had a lifetime warranty, but capitalism eventually did its thing and outsourced their manufacture and removed the lifetime warranty, hoping to leverage years of good will for a short term gain.
The level of consideration matches the level of argumentation, e.g., it's obvious you failed in your interpretative nitpicking on the word "mean" and think "reading about the normal distribution" means anything in this context.

I really wish there was a finance group for solarpunk stuff. It's a constant problem, and when I join any of the many groups online, no-one seems to acknowledge it. If there was some sort of fund that we could contribute to that handled the financing, and looked strictly for long term investments, I'm sure that it would make money, that could then be put back into more long-term solarpunk investments, for the good of all. I don't know how to set such a thing up, or I'd do it myself!

“Weasel words”? The article repeatedly makes clear, unambiguous statements, and repeatedly links to full results:

> * All the synthetic braiding hair products we tested contained multiple carcinogens. Three products contained benzene, a known carcinogen that causes acute myeloid leukemia. “It is strictly regulated and discouraged to use in laboratories because of its potential to cause cancer,” Rogers says. Two products contained an animal carcinogen, and all the samples contained a probable carcinogen, methylene chloride. See the chart below for the full list of known, probable, and possible carcinogens that were detected. Also, see our full test results (PDF).*

> Rogers and his team determined that the nine samples in which lead was detected all exceeded the level deemed safe by experts… We used those levels because there are no federal limits for the amount of lead in synthetic braiding hair

> CR contacted all the brands for comment about the test results. Only two, Sensationnel and Magic Fingers, responded. … Neither company responded to questions about whether or not they test their products for lead, VOCs, or other contaminants before they go to market.

> “There’s no doubt about it that this actually needs a very intensive evaluation because the use is so widespread amongst a specific population,” she says.

It takes a lot of alcohol. I learned to soak a paper towel and rub it on the sticky stuff with almost no pressure. If it sticks, there is not enough alcohol.

And change the paper towel frequently. It works by dissolving the sticky stuff, not mechanically wiping it off. So the paper towel picks up the dissolved crud after only a few wipes, then switch to a clean one.

I’ve cleaned cameras, mice, umbrella handles, and the back of a Samsung tablet this way.

Penrose does not require transcendent insights, but merely the ability to examine a finite knowably correct system to arrive at a correct statement which is not provable by the system. In fact, the construction of a Godel statement is mechanical, but this does not mean that the original system can see it. It is a bit like given a supposed finite list of all primes, we can construct a new prime by multiplying them and adding 1. This construction is a simple computation.
I also got the scare treatment. 25 years later and I still refuse to buy a table saw despite being characterized as risk-tolerant is many other dimensions.

Then you'll get code that passes the tests you generate, where "tests" includes whatever you feed the fuzzer to detect problems. (Just crashes? Timeouts? Comparison with a gold standard?)

Sorry, I'm failing to see your point.

Are you implying that the above is good enough, for a useful definition of good enough? I'm not disagreeing, and in fact that was my starting assumption in the message you're replying to.

Crap code can pass tests. Slow code can pass tests. Weird code can pass tests. Sometimes it's fine for code to be crap, slow, and/or weird. If that's your situation, then go ahead and use the code.

To expand on why someone might not want such code, think of your overall codebase as having a time budget, a complexity budget, a debuggability budget, an incoherence budget, and a maintenance budget. Yes, those overlap a bunch. A pile of AI-written code has a higher chance of exceeding some of those budgets than a human-written codebase would. Yes, there will be counterexamples. But humans will at least attempt to optimize for such things. AIs mostly won't. The AI-and-AI-using-human system will optimize for making it through your lint-fuzz-test cycle successfully and little else.

Different constraints, different outputs. Only you can decide whether the difference matters to you.

Haha yes I am extremely curious to hear the answers to these questions as well to understand the utter stagnation here.
Using tools is a skill. Wood lathes, for instance, are extremely simple pieces of equipment - they hold a piece of wood and spin it. You can see and understand how they work in about 30 seconds. But even with years of practice you'll generally find yourself far less capable than a master lathe worker who seem to have this ability to take any piece of wood and chisel it into seemingly anything imaginable with a few strokes. Shop class is about teaching these skills, which are also highly transferrable.

And everything, at some fundamental level, is hand built. Think about the building you're in right now, or the road you're driving on. Or whatever else. Even for things where processes can have some high degree of automation when they break or need customization - it's back to a guy and his tools. For that matter on the factory line those machines need regular maintenance and repair once again from a guy and his tools.

And no, tool boxes are prime time theft targets in highly urban areas - probably more so than rural. Thieves don't usually steal things to use them (with such skills they wouldn't be thieves in the first place!), they steal them to sell them. And tools, especially high quality, are relatively expensive and one of the most resellable things in existence because good tools last practically forever - many feature lifetime warranties in any case.
I hope people see what that really means. Corporations with historically record profits are laying off people and their largest shareholders now start these oppressing talking points.

First, they made people fight for scraps. If I make 50k but my colleague makes 75k, we must compete. If an acquaintance makes 200k because they chose the right path in high school, they must be really wealthy, therefore I must take that expensive car loan to not look like I am falling too far behind. While truly wealthy people live in the parallel universe and we don't see them because they managed to isolate their lives so well from the normies.

Then, people must to go back to the office; I guess this one's been ticked as successful in their minds.

Now, a new talking point emerges: you must work 60 hours to build a tool that will, hopefully, according to them, get you laid off.

We are speedrunning into a Neuromancer-type present with barely any resistance. Personally, I believe it's a plutocrat's utopia and won't happen, but the cost of it will be a never-before-seen kind of revolution and crash, likely marked by war. In the end, nobody will benefit.

Gödel’s incompleteness theorem, and, say, the halting problem seem to fall squarely into the bucket of “basic computability theory” in precisely the way that “we think, that is a fact”, does not (D.A. hat tip)

You’re arguing that we know artificial reasoning exists because we are capable of reasoning. This presupposes that reasoning is computable and that we ourselves reason by computation. But that’s exactly what Penrose is saying isn’t the case - you’re saying we’re walking Turing machines, we’re intelligent, so we must be able to effectively create copies of that intelligence. Penrose is saying that intelligence is poorly defined, that it requires consciousness which is poorly understood, and that we are not meat-based computers.

Your last question misses the point completely. “If we are something else, then out CoT won’t be computable…” it’s like you’re almost there but you can’t let go of “we are meat-machines, everything boils down to computation, we can cook up clones”. Except, “basic computability theory” says that’s not even wrong.
Kinda! But really only in the sense that they're both "games" related to Git.
