It is a litmus test: Israel is the most controversial western (not middle eastern) country and if you don’t criticize it, there is a good chance you will not criticize any western nation including the US. You will be easily bullied by the US govt with a tape over your mouth.

Or this is the story line that US politicians have bought and unpacked after being hand delivered by AIPAC with a brief case of money plus a set of blackmail love letters waiting to be leaked if they don’t take it.

I am convinced that our govt never had spine to stand up for freedom unless Israel/lobbyists were behind it. They quarrel amongst themselves because of Israel and agree in large numbers because of Israel.

You need a containerd on the remote end (Docker and Kubernetes use containerd) and anything that speaks registry API (OCI Distribution spec: https://github.com/opencontainers/distribution-spec) on the client. Unregistry reuses the official Docker registry code for the API layer so it looks and feels like https://hub.docker.com/_/registry

You can use skopeo, crane, regclient, BuildKit, anything that speaks OCI-registry on the client. Although you will need to manually run unregistry on the remote host to use them. 'docker pussh' command just automates the workflow using the local Docker.

Just check it out, it's a bash script: https://github.com/psviderski/unregistry/blob/main/docker-pu...

You can hack your own way pretty easily.

"The sum of the first $n$ positive integers is ${n+1 \choose 2}$" is beautiful! for anyone lacking the background to get it, the right hand side is "(n + 1) choose 2", the number of ways of selecting 2 elements out of a set of (n + 1). and if you look at the picture, selecting any two balls in the bottom row uniquely identifies a ball in the triangle, and vice versa (selecting a ball in the triangle picks a unique pair of balls in the bottom row). so the sum of all the balls in the first n rows is indeed the number of ways of choosing two balls from the bottom row!

Etymologically the word "poetry" comes from the Greek verb for "make," which has no connection to speech or sound. Historically, in many places and at many times, poetry has not fit into narrow straitjacket you're putting it in.

Poetry in some languages and traditions is at least as visual as it is oral/verbal. Calligraphy is tightly bound to some poetic traditions. In others, the form of a poem is chiefly or entirely calligraphic, not oral, acoustic, or rhythmic.

Even if we restrict ourselves to Western Anglophone poetry of the past 100 years, you'll find that the sound of poetry itself has changed drastically. Find a recording of someone reading an English-language poem in the early 20th century. You'll likely find its sound quite alien, not just because of the antiquated pronunciation but because there's a strong element of something like chant -- and delivery is far more affected than it would be today. I'm not so sure the sound of poetry for you would sound at all like poetry to, I don't know, Yeats or Kipling.

In turn, poetry in Greece and Rome was so tightly coupled to music that it would be more correct to say that poetry in these civilizations was defined by its characteristics when sung, not spoken. Hence in Homer and Classical Greek the word "aoidos," singer, is frequently used of poets.

That’s what I assume the issue is, and why I said “up to date”. I think you’re dead on.

Yeah it may still be usable today.

Will it be with the hardware in your next laptop? Will your preferred DE or WM or distro keep support? What about the apps you depend on?

You’re going to want/need an update and the whole house of cards may come down because there is no choice anymore.

If these users thought “just keep using X11” was viable I don’t think they’d be looking to switch OSes over this. We haven’t trust they know their situation and options.

I was wondering about something like FreeBSD. I have no idea what they’re doing with X11/Wayland and wondered what their accessibility situation was. I don’t think I’ve seen them mentioned in the conversations about this from visually impaired users, but I don’t know why.

Someone correct me here, but Texas Instruments was one of the companies that mortgaged their future in the name of financialization (https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/yeah-its-still-water-ben-hunt...) and their market cap right now is ~170B...

How are they going to afford an investment thats ~1/3rd the value of the company? Seems like one of those announcements that no one follows up on to keep them honest?

If you are just starting out all that matters is going in to the gym regularly and lifting some weight. 3x5, 5x5, or some complicated periodized program with a lot of accessories are all going to work.

That's why I recommend keeping it simple. Build the habit and build some strength. Once you've done that, you can get fancy if you find that you're really into it.

What do you think about structured outputs / JSON mode / constrained decoding / whatever you wish to call it?

To me, it's a criminally underused tool. While "raw" LLMs are cool, they're annoying to use as anything but chatbots, as their output is unpredictable and basically impossible to parse programmatically.

Structured outputs solve that problem neatly. In a way, they're "neural networks without the training". They can be used to solve similar problems as traditional neural networks, things like image classification or extracting information from messy text, but all they require is a Zod or Pydantic type definition and a prompt. No renting GPUs, labeling data and tuning hyperparameters necessary.

They often also improve LLM performance significantly. Imagine you're trying to extract calories per 100g of product, but some product give you calories per serving and a serving size, calories per pound etc. The naive way to do this is a prompt like "give me calories per 100g", but that forces the LLM to do arithmetic, and LLMs are bad at arithmetic. With structured outputs, you just give it the fifteen different formats that you expect to see as alternatives, and use some simple Python to turn them all into calories per 100g on the backend side.

I think you, and a lot of other people really overestimate the number of people for whom the technical challenge is why they cheat.

Seeing that the cheating industry is relatively large, and functions on a subscription basis; For the vast majority of cheaters the challenge is entering their credit card to get their cheat subscription.

Edit: I dropped the points on the details, just to focus on the main point. Rest assured that I read the paper, I was arguing in good faith, and that after a bit more thinking I understand your criticism of my interpretation. I don’t think the criticism of the research being unable to generalized is warranted, considering the experimental design. But we aren’t going to agree on that. The difference in our thinking seems to be the probability of the similar effect showing up in daily lives. I know the projector was emulating the coded display, but my point is that it was reasonably easy to do it, and the same setup could conceivably show up easily in different way. Not to mention that the researchers specifically said all the displays in their office had the effect, so it is common within displays itself.

I think if we continue talking, we will keep running in circles. So let’s drop the details on research: it is there, we can both read it. Here is what I was trying to convey since the beginning:

- If you think the (original) article is an ads, with the writing not up to scientific standard: sure, I am ambivalent about the article itself

- If you think the gist of the article and their recommendation is wrong, I mildly disagree with you

- If you think led-flickering affecting people is in the same ballpark of concern about Wifi or GMOs, I violently disagree with you.

LEDs are new, and so the high frequency related research are not too numerous, but for the few exist, they generally point to a higher threshold of perceiving than previously thought. As for the health-effect, I believe that part is more extrapolation than researched (since those can only come after the more generic research on perceiving). So the final assessment is: how bad was the article in presenting information the way they did.

I'm not confident you would be able to recognize a valid source if you saw it, and I'm not confident you understand what I claimed.

Let me sum up this:

Rich text OT, first appeared in Google Wave, and eventually became the technology used in collaborative editing in Google Docs. That is a fact.

What if it was made by another team?

It doesn't matter. Rich text OT, first appeared in Google Wave, and eventually became the technology used in collaborative editing in Google Docs. That is a fact.

What if they discarded the entire Wave codebase?

It doesn't matter. Rich text OT, first appeared in Google Wave, and eventually became the technology used in collaborative editing in Google Docs. That is a fact.

What if both teams were researching the same stuff?

It doesn't matter. Rich text OT, first appeared in Google Wave, and eventually became the technology used in collaborative editing in Google Docs. That is a fact.

--

Up until I mentioned OT, there was room for ambiguity. Was I talking about the _product_ becoming Google Docs or the _technology_ being used in it? The onus was on me.

As soon as I clarified the issue, you should have recognized what I was talking about. You didn't.

It causes physical pain for many. You can't always see the flicker but your eye muscles react faster than your perception, and they get sore.

I had to get rid of a Samsung TV (120hz backlight, replaced with linear dimmed Sony, nicer anyway..) due to this, and I can only use modern phones at 100% brightness which disables PWM.

When I moved into my current residence I couldn't figure out why my eyes were always sore. I realized my landlord put in cheap LED can lights. I swapped them out for nicer ones, pain gone. People need to stop being cheap AF.

The combination, compilation, and evaluation process was designed by Claude Code and I haven’t examined or evaluated it closely yet. Here is the log of a session I did just now, after a few more hours of vibe-polishing the program:

That's a valid concern. You can very easily give it whatever name you like. Docker looks for `docker-COMAND` executables in ~/.docker/cli-plugins directory making COMMAND a `docker` subcommand.

Rename the file to whatever you like, e.g. to get `docker pushoverssh`:

mv ~/.docker/cli-plugins/docker-pussh ~/.docker/cli-plugins/docker-pushoverssh

Note that Docker doesn't allow dashes in plugin commands.

No worries and thank you! The tech stack is really just Astro with content stored in Markdown files.

The link previews on hover are powered by Tippy.js [1] (maybe deprecated by now?). I wrote a script to collect all the links from my Markdown files, scrape the open graph tags and commit the data to the repo as JSON files.

The interactive demos are web components! I wrote a bit about how I built them [2] but maybe should do a more in-depth blog post at some point.

Respectfully, you can't extrapolate a single experience to _every_ "slightly-affluent primary school". Even the most miniscule of cultural differences can and will lead to different outcomes such as "did you just judge me for a green bubble? what sort of asshole thinks that's worth judging someone over?"

Not a browser plugin, but you can prefix URLs with `pure.md/` to get the pure markdown of that page. It's not quite a 1:1 to llms.txt as it doesn't explain the entire domain, but works well for one-off pages. [disclaimer: I'm the maintainer]

NewJazz is right. It is a straight up ad hominem attack.

I have never seen the phrase “virtue signal[er]” used in a non-pejorative way.

This post could have been written to explain people are working on it and trying hard and it’s really demoralizing and asking for more help.

It wasn’t.

Number of new jobs for one. They just laid off ~300 people working on an older node in Lehi, Utah, while now claiming they’re going to bring new jobs to Lehi, Utah. Thus “new jobs” don’t really track the actual change in the number of their employees even just at the local level across even moderate timescales.

Similarly hyping up total R&D spending without a tight timeframe is meaningless, they will eventually spend X$ assuming the company survives indefinitely.

More charitably there’s meaningful differences between nodes, but it’s likely a significant portion of the workforce will be rehires.

> Jewish people are literally being gunned down in the streets in the US, so you don’t need to put antisemitism in scare quotes.

That comment was in response to : "Or who knows, maybe they ban Trump critics or commies from entering the US." I was asking what trump critics or commies have to do with israel or "antisemitism".

> That being said, I don’t think this has anything to do with Israel, and everything to do with Trump trying to steal more power.

Right. A policy specifically tailored for israel has nothing to do with israel. The prime minister of israel asked the US government to attack US colleges for "antisemitism" because so many college students were protesting against israel's genocide against palestinians. I'm sure that has nothing to do with israel also.

> I’m not Jewish so I can’t speak authoritatively, but the Jews have a very long memory and the Holocaust was only 60-ish years ago.

What does this even mean? Also, do you think just randomly throwing in the "holocaust" is making an argument?

> I can’t imagine the majority of Jews in the US would support fascist government surveillance.

What?

I asked a simple question of why so many US politicians act like lackeys to israel. And every response so far has been awkward and obvious. Let me guess, you're next door neighbor is a holocaust survivor.

It's now Disney Studios (https://disneystudiosaustralia.com/) after Disney's acquisition of Fox. There's 9 large sound stages. A large amount of movies are filmed there.

The lease of the land at the time was controversial.

> The rental was $2 million, payable over 40 years. However, the payment date was not specified, and the deal proceeded with an initial $1 per annum peppercorn rental, in return for which the government was obliged to spend $75-80 million on site works for the benefit of Fox

Could be a new tab "collab" or something to do with joint work maybe, one could post a site, repo or detail a past work experience and anyone who was around or passed thru could reconnect, discuss stuff and share anecdotes. Thinking long dead internal faang tools, stuff like op's post, abandoned repos, old shareware etc. Could also be a place to find cofounders or people interested in starting or working on stuff together.

It took me a few tries to get through Ulysses, but I enjoyed it when I finally figured it out.

What helped for me is first reading A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, which is kind of like an easier version of the same style that introduces some of the characters in Ulysses. And then following along on ulyssesguide.com when I was reading it. Some of the parts (the fake quasi latin) are extra difficult and it helps to have a guide so you don't get completely lost as to what's going on.

Personally, no.

The stance of the US on illegal inmigration has always been clear, and the process for requesting a B1B2 visa is like a rite of entry where it is made even clearer (interviews, seriousness). My father explained it to me when I was young, I must have thought the process was a bit too harsh, "going to their country is like going to somebody else's home, you need to follow their rules, and it's a privilege not a right, to enter".

From what I read, the rules haven't changed, rather they are being enforced. My perspective as an outsider is that the people that complain are mostly leftist extremist from one of the most left leaning and inmigrant heavy states (CA).

I know a lot of people from my country that consider breaking rules and laws as part of natural life and they see visa rules as some other rule to be broken, lots of people that overstay visitor and business visas to work and live in the states or other countries.

I see these changes in enforcement as positive to me, as they do not restrict me in any way except in false positives, as I was already complying with the law and my visa terms. If anything, I am benefitted, as the benefits that are given to law abiding people are becoming exclusive to those that abide the law, instead of also those that disregard it.

It reminds me of this scene from mad men

> Like, how is it even justified—does Apple really spend $99 on infra maintenance and server costs to host your app?

How much something costs is not what determines how much a company charges for something.

A company sets prices based on what will make it the most money. A company only lowers prices if they think doing so will generate higher total profits in the long run.

Apple seems to think charging $99 a year for developers will help its long term bottom line the most.

There are probably many reasons for that, some of them already mentioned in sibling comments - keeping low effort apps out, preventing spammers from constantly buying new accounts to bypass bans, reducing the workload for approvers, generating revenue from the fees, etc.

Prices aren't justified or not, you choose to pay them or not.

I recently migrated to the USA from Canada. I make 2x the income I made in Canada. My work is about the same as it was. I was also able to get competent medical care in the USA but in Canada I was on a waitlist for 2 years.

If I understand your point correctly - the main bottleneck for tool-calling/MCP is the models themselves being relatively terrible at tool-calling anything but the tools they were finetuned to work with until recently. Even with the latest developments, any given MCP server has a variable chance of success just due to the nature of LLM's only learning the most common downstream tasks. Further, LLM's _still_ struggle when you give them too many tools to call. They're poor at assessing the correct tool to use when given tools with overlapping functionality or similar function name/args.

This is what people mean when they say that MCP should maybe wait for a better LLM before going all-in on this design.

The linked article doesn’t even try to complete the argument… there’s not a single reason offered why TI could plausibly have increased total revenues more… instead of just spinning their wheels from a higher cost base.

Or to put it another way, why wouldn’t that revenue growth have gone to their competitors?, which did in fact happen.

You can tell how much they cared about data quality because they never took the time to look at context-dependent glyph equivalencies. And some context-sensitive algorithms might not make the same mistakes as a naive “guess what characters are here” algorithm that just uses glyph shapes. You run into this a LOT with ALPR systems because some of the presses excluded some characters. O and 0 are the most common character equivalency. But only in certain places.

OCR is actually complicated if you’re trying to rely on the data for something.
