Could this be used to infer the alignments done by the creators of the models by passing in a common set of questions to before and after and then comparing the results? Would be interesting to see what Elon has done to his XAI model in comparison to OpenAI.
Considering that Microsoft was a completely different beast in that time, I'm not surprised it does not seem that silly.
M$ (appropriate name for that time) of the day was doing its best to own everything and the did not let up on trying to hold back the open source internet technologies until the early 2010's I believe. Its my opinion that they were successful in killing Java Applets, which were never able to improve past the first versions and JavaScript and CSS in general was held back many years.
I still recall my corporate overloards trying to push me to support IE's latest 'technologies' but I resisted and instead started supporting Mozilla 3.0 as soon as they fixed some core JS bugs for our custom built enterprise JavaScript SPA tools in the early 2000's. It turned out to be a great decision as the fortune 500 company started using Mozilla / Firefox in other internal apps in later years long before it became common place.
Brodie Robertson just posted a YouTube video summarizing this including Linus’s response. It’s definitely a doozy. I’d be interested to hear the BSD folks perspective on this.
While researching which SCS to use at Honeywell in early 2000’s, I read the RCS thesis and it was short concise and a fantastic read. I recommend any SCS N00b’s to read it first.
Thankfully at the time, I chose SVN over CVS and although SVN was only at v0.8 my small team never lost any data. I never regretted my decision.
I did a very rough BOM analysis of just the raw components and if you buy them at their highest rate (1pc cutoffs), the raw component cost excluding the PCB was about $100 USD. My guess is you would be looking at about $200.
Personally, I would be jumping in if I could buy a fully populated PCB and take care of 3D printing, final assembly and software. However, doing electronics like this is far out of my wheelhouse.
You are correct. I kind of took `is None` for granted as it just feels boilerplate when coding in Python.
Although I have written over a hundred thousand of lines of code in Python over the years; I use Python mostly for dev ops tooling, reporting, monitoring and automation so they don't get super complex and they mostly can lean on procedural programming patterns.
I could imagine complex frameworks needing heavy use of Objects that could lean on the 'is' keyword.
This looks great. I just finished an internal devops and change control app using unicurses and python and although it works, it will not scale well. Initially, I tried doing TK and QT but they both have their quirks with initial installation. My experience with QT is that its works well but useful documentation is sparse.
I'll definitely be giving textual a try as it fits my requirement space perfectly.
Congrats in 10 years! Question: Can Cap'n Proto be used as an alternative to Python Pickle library for serializing and de-serializing python object structures?
However, the folks at Oxide are at the top of the game for this space with dozens of years of experience in building and testing such systems. Secondly Oxide's crucible stack is completely written from scratch in Rust, which dramatically reduces failure modes common to such stacks, which are often written in C / C++.
I had a debate at work about whether guards are considered spaghetti code. The same person also thought that you should never use GOTO's. He learned these rules in his comp-sci classes and never questioned them; even after years in the real world.
Personally, I use guards heavily to reduce nesting and if the language supports goto's, I'll use them if it make sense to improve code flow. However, its been a very long time since I've needed to use goto :)
