Just today I had to explain to a two-man team that using five Git repos and four different PaaS products for what is basically a single web control — not a whole site — is a bit nuts

They mumbled something about “architecture” before returning to tinker on their Rube Goldberg machine… which is four months late and missing half the required features.

There just isn’t any common sense in engineering and everyone applauds monstrously complex solutions.

The one lone wolf suggesting “maaaaybe this just needs to be a single project in a single repo deploying to a vanilla web site” gets suspicious looks from managers that have already approved the project opex budget.

New ChatGPT GPT-4o Model

Not that it keeps me up at night, but it’s fascinating to me that if we ever get to the point where a machine is in a position to care about your DNA, it probably will have enough resources to not need to rank anyone by importance.
It'd be interesting to know what's in your /etc docker configuration :)
There is a consensus that there is still a tremendous amount of information in someone's dna to be extracted. She wants to know what we can learn from her dna today but the cost is giving to probably[0] anyone everything we'll be able to learn from her dna in the future. That includes dna about her family and potential children with you.

I'd recommend having a read of my blog (https://www.jvt.me/archives/), as I've been in a similar position, and heavily blogging my career

For instance between 2016-2021 where I was working in a large financial institution (Capital One), but still blogging about the work I was doing and problems I was solving, without leaking proprietary information

A lot of them didn't have the "context" for what problem was being solved or why, or I'd need to create a minimal example to help explain what needs to be fixed, which is also a very good skill to be more practiced in

You can also see how over the years of my career (https://hire.jvt.me/), some organisations have led to me blogging more openly about /what/ I'm doing

I really like quadlets as they enable using containers like normal system services.
That said the UX for rootless containers does not play well with this conceptualization.

Normally system services run as system users in the system systemd-session, but
for rootless containers the services reside in the user systemd sessions of the system user. I'd love to be able to run rootless quadlets within the system session.

There are basically no people who have done pre-training of LLMs.

What you're describing is absolutely the case, but everyone not in a top 100 AI lab would have never had the displeasure of having to deal with that.

That said I strongly suggest everyone follow along with a GPT2 tutorial like: https://github.com/karpathy/minGPT to get a feel for what the big boys have to deal with. Any $100,000 training run can end in failure for no reason what so ever because you just got unlucky with your random seed.

If you want something that is both SOTA and cheap: https://huggingface.co/blog/modernbert you can get from pre-training to fine tuning for a couple hundred dollars with a model that is better than anything available to the public. Bert models are so under researched that you legitimately push the state of the art for them on a work station.

Also feel free to drop a line at my profile's address.
Average English taught degree programs (but not English major) range to about $5000-9000/yr in Japan and China.

I have not researched other places but this could be useful in your decision making (and others thinking about this too.)

Also you need to be aware of deadlines and such. Everything is strict when you’re a student.
But national models go beyond there borders and usually have some modelling outside so the exchanges will cover quite a lot of the world.

I'm happily using quadlets as a lightweight container orchestration tool for few months now and i also think it deserves more attention. RH is doing a great integration job pushing the systemd ecosystem.

As many projects still only mention docker/compose, it would be great to have a community maintained quadlet store - something like https://github.com/dwedia/podmanQuadlets?

The Magna Carta had a solution for this:

> Under what historians later labelled "clause 61", or the "security clause", a council of 25 barons would be created to monitor and ensure John's future adherence to the charter.[46] If John did not conform to the charter within 40 days of being notified of a transgression by the council, the 25 barons were empowered by clause 61 to seize John's castles and lands until, in their judgement, amends had been made.[47] Men were to be compelled to swear an oath to assist the council in controlling the King, but once redress had been made for any breaches, the King would continue to rule as before.

Such an arrangement can only work when at least some part of the populace is well armed enough to overthrow the government if things get too bad.
Granted, if we were operating in an entirely different economic system, my points may be moot.

I don't much see the need for our current copyright or patent law in a post-scarcity Star-Trek society, for example. Although even then, I still don't discount the need for some legal protection on creative works (e.g. the right to be known as the author).
Years before he was the Republican vice presidential nominee, however, Vance openly touted that influence.

“So there’s this guy Curtis Yarvin who has written about these things,” Vance said on a right-wing podcast in 2021. Vance didn’t stop at a simple name-drop.

He went on to explain how former President Donald Trump should remake the federal bureaucracy if reelected.

“I think what Trump should do, if I was giving him one piece of advice: Fire every single midlevel bureaucrat, every civil servant in the administrative state, and replace them with our people. And when the courts stop you, stand before the country and say, ‘The chief justice has made his ruling. Now let him enforce it.’”

This “piece of advice” is more or less identical to a proposal Yarvin floated around 2012: “Retire All Government Employees,” or RAGE.

Sure. But also remember there is also a balance between hostile distrust for all things government does and getting things done. They cannot happen at the same time.

And remember authoritative governments don't care about trust and they get things done while west is squabbling.

To say gov does it to spy is not constructive. What can you do? If they are against you you lose, they hold all the power. This reminds me of attitude of most people in Russia. But to say government does it because it doesn't know is constructive. Because it (and the public) can be educated. There are democratic processes for this.

To a blind user, the screen becomes the operating mechanism, and the perception mechanism is typically headphones.

> It’s not even that democracy is bad; it’s just that it’s very weak. And the fact that it’s very weak is easily seen by the fact that very unpopular policies [...] persist despite strong majorities being against them.

Is this a sign democracy is weak? Or is it a sign that the political process has to choose between mutually exclusive popular policies?

In my country, the average voter wants their trash hauled away, but don't want any dumps or incinerators built. They want responsive public services, but they don't want tax increases, cuts to other services, or a deficit. They want good care for the elderly, but they don't want to spend more on care workers, or to give the jobs to poorly paid immigrants.

The US political system has a bunch of problems (deadlock and corruption for example) but when voters want to have their cake and eat it too, which is impossible, no political system is going to make it possible.
I bet it was a conscious decision to crowdsource it instead of automating it in order to get people more interested in the fish. It seems like it's drawing a pretty substantial fan base!

If an observation is the first one for that species to be uploaded to iNat, but other photos of that species from an earlier point in time already exist anywhere elsewhere online/in print, then that observation should not be added to the project. This is the biggest source of observations that I have to remove from the project. So your observation must be both the first photograph of that species on iNat and also the first anywhere.

Understanding why Hitler was so bad, why Stalin was so bad, is essential to the riddle of the 20th century. But I think it’s important to note that we don’t see for the rest of European and world history a Holocaust. You can pull the camera way back and basically say, Wow, since the establishment of European civilization, we didn’t have this kind of chaos and violence.

This sounds like something that Ricken from Severance wrote in his self-help book:

It’s basically just a greater openness of mind and a greater ability to look around and say: We just assume that our political science is superior to Aristotle’s political science because our physics is superior to Aristotle’s physics. What if that isn’t so?

I’ve run CI for games pushing to steam. The best way is to ensure a lock on steam operations to only allow one in parallel any time across your CI. Download the steam works sdk for your CI runner platform, bootstrap it locally, and log in manually once. Then push the entire sdk directory into S3, and in CI you then pull it, login without a password, and push the entire thing back to S3 again.
As a side note it was so depressing reading the release notes of the latest VS Code. It was all just more and more AI slop related nonsense. You could feel the enshitification happening in real time. I don’t think there was a single new feature in there I was even remotely excited about.

> As far as I can tell, you can build very complex prototypes.

I think GP was saying you can do more than prototypes. I agree, but it's not (yet) universal on where you can apply it. The best case for my projects has been in trivial but tedious "3rd party integrations". Say you have a mature product but client x wants integration with product z. We are now at a point where we can say "this is our internal model {json dump}, this is the 3rd party integration docs / example {code dump}, write interfaces for this". And it works most times. For things that are a bit more complicated, /architect first and then "now write it" w/ some things from the architect session in context also works.

YMMV but don't dismiss it out of habit. Things are moving very fast in this space, and I choose to focus on what works now, not on what doesn't. I'm well aware not everything works, but when it does it saves a lot of time.

> How do I explain that I don't want my DNA analysed and sold

Honestly you can't. I've come to realise that unless someone personally is hurt from the lose of private information, then there's no way to convince to the risks.

People either comes down on the side of privacy and caution, or they completely fail to see if issue and believe that the risks are vastly overblown. Very rarely do you see anyone go from the latter to the first, unless they suffer personally.

There are a few that kind of theories. You are probably referring to the Optical Acceleration Cancellation theory[1]. There are some similar later so called "direct perception" theories too.
