It kind of reminds me of the Y2K scare. Leading up to that, there were a lot of people in groups like comp.software.year-2000 who claimed to be doing Y2K fixes at places like the IRS and big corporations. They said they were just doing triage on the most critical systems, and that most things wouldn't get fixed, so there would be all sorts of failures. The "experts" who were closest to the situation, working on it in person, turned out to be completely wrong.

I try to keep that in mind when I hear people who work with LLMs, who usually have an emotional investment in AI and often a financial one, speak about them in glowing terms that just don't match up with my own small experiments.
I didn't assume so, but they still do two things: Making money, and picking a purpose of what to do with it (in this case, planting trees).

As somewhat of a sympathizer of effective altruism (the idea of efficiency being an important factor in charities, not necessarily the implementation and even less the community), this isn't super appealing to me.
I'm not aware of any such rules, could you please point to one exactly?

AMD overtook Nvidia at times in the gaming space. I'd say that Nvidia has been king of the hill since the introduction of CUDA, since that's what really cemented their position in the tech sector.

The observation that Trump lies all the time will not become irrelevant as long as he's alive.

Almost every claim that he makes, or that his supporters make about him, is wildly untrue, and definitely the claim that he's "the most pro gay". That's one of those many hollow claims people make about him in order to sway a few people from a demographic that's going to be hurt by him.

But the fact that he keeps getting away with it does make him a great con man.

Being more robust to fragile compiler optimizations is also a nontrivial benefit. An interpreter loop is an extremely specialized piece of code whose control flow is too important to be left to compiler heuristics.

If the desired call structure can be achieved in a portable way, that's a win IMO.
Sometime in the late late 00s, i put my voodoo card on Craigslist. I got pinged immediately, told me he’d pay double if i reserved it for him. The cards were precious for keeping some arcade game cabinets running, and with the company no more, my used card was a lifeline. I wanna say it was a golf game like golden tee? I was delighted to make the sale and happy to charge him the original (not double) price

Yeah same here. Always preferred the software renderer for Quake and Quake 2. Even over the modern stuff.

They aren't suboptimal where I am. US products are cheaper, but they are routinely less healthy, more addictive, and poorer quality than the alternatives.

Its fine if you can't afford it or don't want to pay the difference, but by and large they are not suboptimal, at all.
This was sort of my experience with LSD. It just broke me. I fell into a deep depression afterward, but the reason was only partly due to damaging my mind. The other part of it was that the LSD made me realize where my life was going, and how completely unfulfilled I'd end up being in 10-20 years. In that way, it helped me course-correct. I'm healthier, more honest with myself, and got back into college because of the experience.

But it did damage my mind. I have mild to moderate anhedonia now. Weed hits me completely differently now (feels more like strong caffeine + brain fog instead of any pleasure). I lost my desire to write creatively.
Another source of random entropy better than a wall of lava lamps:

>> "100-Gbit/s Integrated Quantum Random Number Generator Based on Vacuum Fluctuations" https://link.aps.org/doi/10.1103/PRXQuantum.4.010330

But is that good enough random for rngd to continually re-seed an rng with?

(Is our description of such measurable fluctuations in the quantum foam inadequate to predict what we're calling random?)

That was surely an example to illustrate how easily you can end up with 1,000 dependencies. Actual numbers vary of course, but the point that I got was about how dependencies spiral.

They do. Especially for web based applications built on frameworks and libraries that make it easy to pull in dependencies through package management. I used to work for a company that wrote a stack in Go with a TypeScript front end. When you compiled the whole thing there were easily 900 dependencies resolved, and 885 of those weren’t written internally.

An OS and its package manager are no different, but are a more accessible and less specific example to cite.
I don't know. I wouldn't trust a brain surgeon who has up til now only been messing around on LLMs.

I hear you.

I'm saying you're mistaken.

Just because Trump justifies his terrible acts by pointing out to DEI, cancel culture or whatever, doesn't mean those things were wrong. You're thinking of an alternate history where there was no cancel culture and there would be no Trump, and therefore the people who cancelled anyone are responsible for Trump.

No. Trump voters are responsible for Trump. Trump is responsible for Trump. Someone who said "fuck Roseanne Barr, I'll never watch her show again" has 0 responsibility.
I really disagree. There were some nice Matrox cards. They weren't as good at 3d as 3DFX but for the time they really improved gaming. I developed Battlezone on G200. In those days we tried to have everyone have a different graphics card because the companies would just give them to us and we wanted to work with every card.
Yes, because we interpret "da Vinci" as a surname, which it isn't, at least not exactly.

But in fact, the man your college friend-group calls "Johnny from the Bronx" in English would not be shortened to "from the Bronx".
> But then I step away from my work and I'm constantly bombarded with “agents will replace us”.

An assembly language programmer might have said the same about C programming at one point. I think the point is, that once you depend on a more abstract interface that permits you to ignore certain details, that permits decades of improvements to that backend without you having to do anything. People are still experimenting with what this abstract interface is and how it will work with AI, but they've already come leaps and bounds from where they were only a couple of years ago, and it's only going to get better.

I'd much rather have engineers write OpenAPI specification files by hand and then generate their server code from that file. Way easier to maintain and actually forces devs to have good documentation for their APIs.
> But, surface ships of that time was even more limited, many could not achieve even half of surface speed of u-boat, so become easy prey.

Agree with most of what you said, but U-boats generally had top surface speeds under 20 knots and were thus slower on the surface than most naval vessels of the time. They could certainly move faster than most convoys, but they couldn’t outrun pursuing destroyers or corvettes.
You should probably update your personal data on what kind of debt they would be taking on, and how long it takes to pay it off.

Ah shoot, that's what one gets for being in a hurry and on the phone. Saw the date of the article and mention of the EPYC 9004, but forgot that it's the 9005 that's the new series and missed the details.

Replying to myself. I just looked up what gp was talking about, and I think it's this: https://apnews.com/article/romania-georgescu-election-d0541a...

In this case, no I don't think Romania should be kicked out. Restrictions on party membership are complicated, but it seems here the courts have applied Romania's electoral law. We are going to have to be smart to avoid situations like this in other EU countries, where Russian, Chinese or US money are used to support non-democrats.

Learning Ada with Raytraced Teapots
Even having a solid dial-up connection with a ~180-185ms ping was a ridiculous advantage when most HPBs were ~350ms, particularly in clan invitationals for Q1CTF. We were playing as LPBs in the dorm at ~45-60ms and 180ms wasn't that much of a concern, aside from sliding around corners more than expected, but at 350ms you were basically shooting predictively at where you assumed they'd be next, not where they 'were'.

> Btw, what about some clang18.tc comparison

(post author here) Oh, this is something I could have called out explicitly: The tail-calling interpreter relies on a feature (the `preserve_none` calling convention) that only landed in clang-19. That means you can only test it on that version. That coincidence (that 19 added both this feature, and the regression) is part of why this was so easy to miss at first, and why I had to "triangulate" with so many different benchmarks to be confident I understood what was going on.

You and me both. Maybe you could try actually reading my comments. I feel like I'm talking to an AI that has been trained to be maximally annoying through gaslighting.

> At some point there might be massive layoffs due to ostensibly competent AI labor coming onto the scene, perhaps because OpenAI will start heavily propagandizing that these mass layoffs must happen. It will be an overreaction/mistake. The companies that act on that will crash and burn, and will be outcompeted by companies that didn't do the stupid.

Um... I don't think companies are going to perform mass layoffs because "OpenAI said they must happen". If that were to happen it'd be because they are genuinely able to automate a ton of jobs using LLMs, which would be a bull case (not for AGI necessarily, but for the increased usefulness of LLMs)

I am pretty relaxed, though.
Trump isn't really giving anyone the choice with talking about annexing its allies. You seem to be blaming the victim here.

The difference is that interns can learn, and can benefit from reference items like a prior report, whose format and structure they can follow when working on the revisions.

AI is just AI. You can upload a reference file for it to summarize, but it's not going to be able to look at the structure of the file and use that as a template for future reports. You'll still have to spoon-feed it constantly.
Profits are not a measure of good. It's just as profitable to mitigate a problem that you caused as it is to authentically solve a problem for people. Profits are a measure of efficacy, but there's no reason to expect that a profitable endeavor isn't making things worse for everybody nearby.
Profits are bad when they exist due to unethical cost cutting. Profits are bad when they artificially lower the cost of the good by exporting the costs to other people.

If a clothing company is profitable because they use slave labor, that is not good profit.

If an oil company is profitable because they do not address the environmental impact they have, that is not good profit.

If an insurance company is profitable because they refuse required treatments for their customers, that is not good profit.

You have a very simplistic view of profit that is not based in actual history. We have centuries of seeing this exact thing happen over and over again. Just because something is profitable does not make it good. Only someone obsessed with theory while ignoring the practice could think otherwise.

That post (https://dynomight.net/homeless/) uses HUD's counts from January 2023. There's a long delay with these—the counts are done each year in January but usually only published in December. The January 2024 counts are now available and do indeed show much higher levels: A total of 771k on Jan 2024 as opposed to 653k in Jan 2023 or 582k in 2022. But that post was done in July 2024, when that data wasn't available yet. (And was, I hope, clear that it was using the Jan 2023 counts.)

I remember upgrading to a creative labs 3dfx voodoo banshee and it was actually stunning - I don't think there has been a generational leap quite as apparent as seeing everything before and after that upgrade. I think I had a matrox card before that and it wasn't even that old. This was on a Celeron 400...

I don't think we'll see a generational leap like that in the future.

Glide was nuts on games that supported it - it was night and day. It took several generations of hardware for directX to surpass openGL.
You don't know if it's the same people. I highly doubt many of them are. It's true that "Anti-Americanism", or at least Anti-Jingoism, was en vogue for a while in Europe, but I never felt like it was more than a fringe opinion, and a lot of people spouted it to seem edgy.

Also, it's been a few decades. Things change and people are allowed to learn and adapt. I used to be a pacifist and proponent of demilitarisation until a few years ago. The world has changed since.
I don't know where I fit on the scale but I'm confident I'm in the top 50%. I got only one job (an early one in my career) through the "normal" way of sending lots of applications for public postings. Every other job has come through my network or a targeted recruiting process.

In most cases, someone you worked with before who liked working with you suggests to their employer or someone in their professional network they hire you. Could be an old classmate, coworker, open source collaborator, even someone you know through a hobby.
Agree completely. People think they are being safer by going fast "with the flow" while in reality statistics refute this perspective entirely. Slower is safer periodt.
Blue Ghost Mission 1: Live Updates
IMO, the Linux desktop has been moving in a direction I do not like. Wayland may be the last straw for me. The current direction forces me to have a lot of things running along side the DE, like dbus, key*rings, auto* and other things. In reality it seems to be trying to emulate Microsoft instead of what UN*X was like ages ago.

I like simple Window Managers as opposed to desktops, and Wayland will force me into a DE. (no tiling for me either).

I am holding out hope the *BSDs will consolidate on/around OpenBSD's xenodm, but seems the largest BSD seems intent on following Linux.

With the masses living on cell phones these days, I would think Linux would just improve what most of the users are happy with instead of moving towards Windows.
