I believe the origin is here and explains it in a lot of detail: https://probability.ca/jeff/writing/montyfall.pdf

I should add the credit line, looks like I left it off for that one, though I think the general concept is pretty common.

One possible intuition is that when Monty opens a goat door in the original problem, the fact that he didn't open the other non-chosen door gives evidence that that door has a car (because it's more likely he doesn't open if it does have a car than if it has a goat).

In the "Monty Fall" variant, it's equally likely that he opens it whether it has a car or not. So the fact that it wasn't opened doesn't give you additional evidence for what's inside it.

> You need to actually commit to the process, which means setting aside at least an hour a day for swiping and chatting on the apps, and consciously optimizing both yourself and your profile to achieve your goals.

Yeah, no, I am out.

Not because of the work but how incredible harmful it would be for my mental wellbeing if I did that for any extended period of time. The commodification of sex and relationships that these apps promote is probably causing lasting damage.
Does it matter who knew, at this point? Industry boomed because of the output and also because the worst consequences would come long after. As a society we usually do it the messy way first and refine it later, right? Maybe they thought it was fine, we'll fix it later.

Maybe there was an odd company here and there that "did the right thing" but we're talking about Industries here. They knew they were shitting into the atmosphere and decided it was worth it.
I'm not disagreeing with you!
There is this bad penny bit of propaganda that a lot of people believe. Which is only the US has any agency. And everyone else does what they do either under orders from the US or as a reaction to something the US did. It's attractive if you're ignorant and stupid because it makes the world simple enough for you to think you understand everything.

Putin, the current administration and conservatives in general swallowed that hook line and sinker.
Not my experience, I have done fairly complex things like building / releasing a whitelabel ios and android app which is branded in ci per customer.

Like othes have suggested, keep the actions simple by having lots of scripts which you can iterate on locally and making the actions dump to just run the scripts
I get really exacerbated when people make this mistake.

As a friendly porcupine.

This isn't a schoolyard bully situation. This is something like an Odysseus vs. Polyphemus situation.

It calls for wit and guile, not open aggression and escalation.
Is there any evidence that ChatGPT is continuously making this false claim to multiple users? Can the false claim about this specific person be reproduced by anyone else or did it just appear randomly?
In today’s rapidly expanding world of AI development tooling, vibe coders—regardless of their software engineering background—are effectively rate-limited for production cases by how quickly and how early in the development cycle they can test their code.

Because the quality of LLM-generated code depends on both prompt quality and a developer’s software experience, writing code faster with LLMs puts more stress on these constraints, often resulting in reduced code quality.

As we move further “to the right” in the dev cycle, the cost and duration of software testing grow exponentially. Vibe code is harder to test, slowing the testing process and ultimately restricting software development speed—undermining the very benefits of vibe coding.

Our goal is to minimally reduce the efficiency gains of vibe coding while fully leveraging trusted shift-left testing approaches.

At https://testcode.ai/products, we are pushing for mutation testing to become the standard companion for vibe coders. Highly targeted semantic mutations optimally challenge the seams of vibe code, giving vibe coders the confidence to keep shipping code while knowing that edge cases are being covered.
Depends on the type of ruling. The executive can't make the courts convict people willy nilly. The executive can't make the courts rule in civil cases the way he wants them to.

But mandamus orders against the executive really can't be enforced by the courts, not even the writ of Habeas Corpus -- and famously so, I might add, since Lincoln suspended the writ even though the Constitution says only Congress can do it, and he refused to bring people accused of sabotage or insurrection to the courts.
One of many reasons I left FE jobs. I'm tired of spending my evenings discovering what refactor I'm gonna have to do next.
that's a cartoon level understanding of the world. thieves don't always wear a Zorro eye mask and carry a burlap sack with a dollar sign.
but it doesn't seem to happen the same way in other parts of the programming world. Even in Django, yes, there are squillions of libraries for different things, and many of them haven't been updated in years, but the long-lived ones don't tend to have breaking changes in (at least in my experience). It just seems to be front-end stuff where people will make breaking changes in some long-lived package, and for no obvious reason.

Make a new package, or a distinctly different version of the original package that won't get imported by a simple upgrade.

Or am I missing some reason that it's not as simple to do this in front-end stuff as it is in other areas?
Git forges are some of the worst case for this. The scrapers click on every link on every page. If you do this to a git forge, it gets very O(scary) very fast because you have to look at data that is not frequently looked at and will NOT be cached. Most of how git forges are fast is through caching.

The thing about AI scrapers is that they don't just do this once. They do this every day in case every file in a glibc commit from 15 years ago changed. It's absolutely maddening and I don't know why AI companies do this, but if this is not handled then the git forge falls over and nobody can use it.

Anubis is a solution that should not have to exist, but the problem it solves is catastrophically bad, so it needs to exist.
Couldn't we re-seed these areas with artificial nodules? Could we seed areas w/o previous nodules to create new areas for undersea life? Is there a project doing this yet?

I remember using Novell netware in high school and if you random long lengths of passwords you could get the machine to crash. Didn't have any idea what was going on at the time.

After highschool I saw an exploit for this where if you typed the right magic characters in you could highjack the execution of the login prompt and get a shell.
Humans cannot ignore syntax or semantics, if that's what you're saying. Every human language has both, and no one can speak a language without knowing (usually implicitly) both.

As for phonology, languages have that (even signed languages), but I don't see it as being more fundamental than syntax or semantics. Indeed, while some writing systems have something analogous to phonology (context-sensitive letter shapes, as in Arabic script, but also in Greek), some don't. And it's possible to learn written language without any spoken language--deaf people do that.
I'm not so sure. A quick Google search came up with wildly varying amounts of water to produce a gallon of almond milk, from 23 gallons of water to ~1600:

https://milkyplant.com/en-us/blogs/the-latest/environmental-...

https://www.theguardian.com/food/2018/sep/05/ditch-the-almon...

These were just two of the several sources I found, at each extreme. There was similar variation for cow milk.

Considering that it takes roughly 1 gallon of water to produce 1 almond, and that 23 almonds wouldn't fill even an 8oz cup, I'm guessing that the higher end of the spectrum is probably more accurate for almond milk.

It also looks like almond milk has half the calories per gallon of skim milk and 1/4 that of whole milk.
Large text-to-speech and speech-to-text models have been greatly improving recently.

But I wish there were an offline, on-device, multilingual text-to-speech solution with good voices for a standard PC — one that doesn't require a GPU, tons of RAM, or max out the CPU.

In my research, I didn't find anything that fits the bill. People often mention Tortoise TTS, but I think it garbles words too often. The only plug-in solution for desktop apps I know of is the commercial and rather pricey Acapela SDK.

I hope someone can shrink those new neural network–based models to run efficiently on a typical computer. Ideally, it should run at under 50% CPU load on an average Windows laptop that’s several years old, and start speaking almost immediately (less than 400ms delay).

The same goes for speech-to-text. Whisper.cpp is fine, but last time I looked, it wasn't able to transcribe audio at real-time speed on a standard laptop.

I'd pay for something like this as long as it's less expensive than Acapela.

(My use case is an AAC app.)
If you're somehow under the belief that the Soviet Union was an implementation of communism, I'm sad to inform you it wasn't. The Soviet Union was run by the state, not the workers, there was a strict class structure in place, instead of a classless society and it was controlled in a top-down authoritarian manner, not by empowering the workers.

Having a manager as you describe is quite explicitly the opposite than what communism argues for.
Why does a reserve currency even need to exist? Bretton Woods was a result of the extraordinary circumstances of WW2. The move to the petrodollar was a good deal at the time letting the US play world police. Now it's clear that the US isn't a reliable security partner even if other countries wanted it. The oil producing nations would surely be happy to start selling in other currencies.
AgentKit and Inngest are awesome. Thank you @tonyhb and the Inngest team for building such an amazing DX.

I've been testing Inngest realtime with AgentKit and it's an awesome combo already despite being a few weeks old.

I highly recommend the Inngest demo checking out their SWE bench example and the E2B example (https://github.com/inngest/agent-kit/tree/main/examples/e2b-...) to build a network of coding agents. I've also got this working with Daytona sandboxes.

Some feedback:
- Would love an llms.txt for your docs like https://developers.cloudflare.com/agents/llms-full.txt
- clear way of accessing realtime publishing from within AgentKit.
I don't think climate change, even if it lives up to the most alarmist of predictions will make humanity extinct. We'll all be gone regardless of that. A functioning civilization is composed of humans (at least in our case), and every generation of humans must have as its first priority the task of making more humans to replace the oldest (dying) generation. The fertility rate is sub-replacement, the effects of a demographic implosion cause more fertility rate issues, not less, and so that will accelerate. Too neurotic to have sex and make babies. Climate change wasn't what you needed to tackle after all.

We don't even survive for centuries.
>- Ukraine exchanged nukes for beautiful promises.

Why do people keep parroting this false trope?

They had no other choice but to hand over their nukes since the nukes were never theirs to begin with, they belonged to Russia, and they had no launch codes for them anyway, which were in Moscow, nor the resources to maintain them.

And that's not exactly what the world needed at the time: unkempt nukes in the hands of a bankrupt and corrupt nation going through political and economic turmoil of the 90s USSR collapse, guaranteeing them to get "lost" and end up in the hands of despots and warlords.

So giving them up was the correct and only choice for them. Otherwise they would have been persuaded by force to give them up either through sanctions or even through military intervention.
Also worth noting that AMD is doing quite well on the server market with the c cores in terms of compute per watt over ARM options.

I admit I didn't read the OP 100% before seeing your reply.

After reading, I kind of agree with you. This guy has a car, a computer, an inheritance/student loans incoming, and is begging for help (while considering renting office space, getting roommates, etc).

Finding myself in that position, I'd probably go to any factory nearby and get a job as soon as possible. Seems like the logical thing to do. You're right. This guy seems like he's trying to get quick donations. Although the loss of a mother, grandmother, and essentially a wife indeed sounds brutal.
> This leads to a tension between devs wanting to abstract and everything constantly breaking the abstraction rules.

This exists everywhere. But the churn only exists in the NPM section of the JavaScript world. QT, SDL, GTK, Cocoa have very stable paradigms to do UI. Even the DOM api is stable. But in the NPM world, nobody wants to actually stick to an API, instead they insists on supporting edge cases that should actually be an extension or another library.
How to friends found £3M treasure and ended up in jail
bruh, it's just saying single scalar Int64 types are boxed. This is totally normal thing that happens in garbage collected languages. There's no semantic loss.

OCaml does this 63-bit hack to make integers fast in the statistically common case where people don't count to 2^64 with them. The top bit is reserved to tell the GC whether it manages the lifetime of that value or not.

For interoperating with binary interfaces you can just say `open Int64` at the top of your file and get semantic compatibility. The largest industrial user of OCaml is quant finance shop that binds all kinds of kernel level drivers with it.

(and yes, 64-bit non-boxed array types exist as well if you're worried about the boxing overhead)
This article has been submitted like four times and gotten hardly any traction, it's an example of how self-serving articles from corporate blogs get perceived as spam and rejected. It's kinda too bad because it's an interesting topic.

Doing business development for an area that intersected with "low-code/no-code" about 10 years ago I came across Lotus Notes which was based around a document database with syncing, something that hasn't quite gotten mainstream since, which is an odd thing since it's been necessary throughout the mobile age (was even demanded when I was speccing out a mobile app circa 2005) but has been rejected as spam like most advances in databases at the application level.
Ah yeah, that's a good example

It'll still trickle down to people using the system and waste people's time (from development to the people working to produce all the things used by these companies and mopping up the impact this has to eventually the users) but that would definitely resolve one of my concerns
Sure, but then your company grows large enough to want its own design system, and you have multiple applications that need shared components. How do you implement that in rails?

The ideal is to encourage developers to start their own small businesses and support each other by being customers. That, and when you find success/profitability, don't sell to a big tech nightmare or PE—just run the business.

The "machine" is a natural side-effect of mega corporations and creating unions will just encourage more creativity around stealing your soul or getting rid of your entirely.
How fMRI can be used for neurofeedback
Yep. It definitely wasn't the case 10 years ago.

It became significantly worse, with way more micromanagement, less productivity and lower quality products.
Azure TTS has some great British accents - I used a British female voice for a demo video voice over, and the quality was great. Not as good as ElevenLabs, but I was still really impressed with the final result.
Leaks and property theft happen, both internally and on the outside - even the anecdotes of the War Thunder leaks are a good example of it.

With that said, it looks like what's happening is that Europe, Canada, and probably more to come, have no interest in betting their National Security on the whims of one guy pulling the rug on them, as Trump did to Ukraine to appease Putin.

The problem here isn't IP theft - it's about reliability.
Major web services go dark in Russia amid reported Cloudflare block
I see it as something similar to some of the motives driving Putin with Ukraine. All the rhetoric about "NATO at our doorstep" is just a smokescreen for what the real fear is -- he cannot countenance an alternative Russian/Ukrainian speaking polity, culturally-partially-contiguous with Russia to exist on his doorstep if it is a liberal democracy, outside of his sphere of (corrupt) control, and not subject to his kleptocracy. Because it would be an internal threat. The cost of grinding Ukraine into the ground is worth it to him if it means maintaining strict control at home.

What Trump is doing is like a kid's colouring book version of the same thing. It's crude jingoism to shore up his own base with bullshit about Canada and whatever, to build legitimacy based on jingoistic nationalism, and to try to undermine and destroy a liberal / centrist gov't on his doorstep. And, consistent with his "drill baby drill" mantra, it's also an attempt to stop climate change initiatives, to free US capital in Alberta from Canadian regulation, and to maintain/extend American control over our resource sector.

Google post from last week: https://blog.google/technology/developers/gemma-3/
Why should Canada do coalition missions? They have nothing to do with Canada. Coalition missions are euphemism for beating up a weaker country. As far as I can remember, the F-35 in Canada was always argued by those who want to play John Wayne in foreign lands.

If Canada can't defend against the US, then they should just accept they'll be swallowed by it or start making babies and populating the prairies. In the meantime, if Canada wants to contribute to defense of its allies, it should focus on creating a credible air counter to the Arctic.
Which would actually be a bigger deal than a bit of unexpected oxygen, I think; at that point you’re probably kicking the sides of general relativity.
Has there been a test case that ignoring robots.txt and wilfully evading controls is unlawful access to a computer system?
I think unions need to work on their marketing. I resonate with all of these problems, but the "fixes" sound like a politician saying, "elect me and I'll solve your problems."

What's the A+ example out there of a unionized engineering team that has been able to find a great work-life balance, great benefits, and a fun product development life-cycle that is profitable or clearly on its way to profitability? Show me this company.

I have family and friends who work for airline unions, parcel unions, teacher unions, etc. Some love it, some hate it. Those who love it had a broken fan in the van all summer with no air conditioning until the union stepped in. How would a union meaningfully improve that situation at a tech office with paid lunches and decent benefits?

Like, the promise of a better tomorrow from unions carries the same tone as a promise to IPO "really soon" from the CEO/CFO tag team at the annual kick-off meeting. What does it look like when rubber meets the road?

And this is why the EU is not competitive in the IT space. Too much red tape and taking things too seriously.

Just demand that OpenAI markets ChatGPT for what it is: a fun toy that sometimes provides information, but you can't tell when if you're a layman. OpenAI can still add that it's improving, if they want a positive marketing spin.

However, this is the EU. Lots of jobs added to write long legal texts, translate them to all 24 official languages, consultants to help with implementing the laws, etc. The more complicated, the better the employment numbers.
Plenty of free things with no value
Well, I am (originally). And I recognize the verbiage from there even when it's spoken elsewhere.
"We aren't like the other big companies," was a line I heard associated with some big tech companies circa 2006. Implication was that they saw the dysfunction at larger firms and chose to build something different.

Fast-forward twenty years, and they're just like them.
Absolutely. Being able to have a single `nix build` line that gets all the way from source to your final asset (iso, ova, container image, whatever) with everything being aggressively cached all the way along is a game changer. I think it's worth the activation energy for a lot more organizations than realize it.
It's not an "open secret", it's a publicly known and legal fact that all countries retain export rights of the military HW they sell, not just the US.

If you want to re-sell the 100% made Swedish arms you already bought, to a third party, you'll also need Sweden's consent for that. This isn't a US exclusive thing.
I work in a union shop and I admit that it doesn't seem to have all the problems I have with the big tech. People seem to care and have passion, but don't pretend to work 80 hours a week, some of them at least. Some of them are decades older then me. Nobody is ever fired, but it somehow pays well above the median pay, but not comparable to the big tech.
