Not the parent poster, but that looks really promising.

I want to get Immich up and running for my personal workflow. I shoot sports stuff regularly that I want to share along with personal photos I do not. Right now my workflow is frustratingly manual for this process. Having the "share with the public" functionality right beside my internal workflow would be a dream.

Contra another comment: fairly low. (Or at least my search-fu has not been able to find any CVEs or published papers about breaking isolation between MIG instances. MPS should be generally be used only by one user so multiple of their own CUDA apps can attach to one (v)GPU.)

MIG is used a lot in HPC and multi-tenancy cloud, where isolation is important. See Figure 1 and §6.2:

* https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/tesla/mig-user-guide/

The card is actually sliced into different instances (show up as different /dev/nvidiaXs), each with their own SMs, L2, and DRAM, that are isolated between each one. (MPS is for the same user to share a GPU instance: allows multiple CUDA apps to attach and time-slicing occurs.)

I don't think they really need to invade for this. It is almost in artillery range (there are rounds that can go 150km).

They also could just send a big rocket barrage onto the factories. I assume it would be very hard to defend from such a short distance.

Then most ports and cities in taiwan are towards east (with big mountains on the western side). Would be very bad if China decides to blockade it by shooting ships from their main land...

Also very little the west could do imo. A land invasion in china or a nuclear war don't seem very reasonable.

For now anyways. There’s a lot of effort being placed into putting up guardrails to make the model respond based on instructions and not deviate. I remember the crazy agents.md files that came out from I believe Anthropic with repeated instructions on how to respond. Clearly it’s a pain point they want to fix.

Once that is resolved then guiding the model to only recommend or mention specific brands will flow right in.

Piper is a VAE model which is quite robotic. This is a speech language model, which sound quite realistic.

Something sounds fishy in this. Has these bugs really been found by AI? (I don't think they were).

If you read Corgea's (one of the products used) "whitepaper", it seems that AI is not the main show:

> BLAST addresses this problem by using its AI engine to filter out irrelevant findings based on the context of the application.

It seems that AI is being used to post-process the findings of traditional analyzers. It reduces the amount of false positives, increasing the yield quality of the more traditional analyzers that were actually used in the scan.

Zeropath seems to use similar wording like "AI-Enabled Triage" and expressions like "combining Large Language Models with AST analysis". It also highlights that it achieves less false positives.

I would expect someone who developed this kind of thing to setup a feedback loop in which the AI output is somehow used to improve the static analysis tool (writing new rules, tweaking existing ones, ...). It seems like the logical next step. This might be going on on these products as well (lots of in-house rule extensions for more traditional static analysis tools, written or discovered with help of AI, hence the "build with AI" headline in some of them).

Don't get me wrong, this is cool. Getting an AI to triage a verbose static analysis report makes sense. However, it does not mean that AI found the bugs. In this model, the capabilities of finding relevant stuff are still capped at the static analyzer tools.

I wonder if we need to pay for it. I mean, now that I know it is possible (at least in my head), it seems tempting to get open source tools, set them to max verbosity, and find which prompts they are using on (likely vanilla) coding models to get them to triage the stuff.

> Meanwhile rich kids get into good schools because they can afford after school activities and tutors since birth.

This is a myth - most non-legacy admissions kids getting into good colleges aren’t spending on these things in the way that you think. They’re getting there because they’re actually smart and hard working and have a stable environment (like two parents). It doesn’t take much to get a very high test score for example - most of them aren’t even paying for group classes let alone tutors.

Did that job/skillset just conjure itself into existence? Or were the companies shortsighted in not training in-house 5 years ago?

I'm guessing we see a lot more of the latter than the former. Cutting edge knowledge industries might be an outlier here, but certainly for anything related to "factory work", it's probably true.

This really shouldn't be some surprise. You probably do it on a regular basis without noticing. Shakespeare uses it in Hamlet:

There's not a man I meet but doth salute me As if I were their well-acquainted friend

English has always used the singular they, especially (but not always) when the gender of the target of the pronoun is unknown.

> If you have to, blame stupidity not malice

> No one is out to get you; they’re just out to get through the week.

The author seems to be too naive. I don't have first-hand experience, but just hearing my friends who work at a certain company talking about what's happening, I know how terrible some people can be. And that's a widespread issue (otherwise I would not hear about similar things happening to people in different organizations).

One example: people take credit for other people's work in front of higher management. You think someone would accidentally make a mistake and forget what they actually did themselves? Is that even possible? No, they know exactly what they are doing and why they are doing that. They are not trying to be friends with you.

'[I]n their feverish pursuit of artificial-intelligence supremacy, employers say there aren’t enough people with the most in-demand skills. The few perceived as AI savants can command multimillion-dollar pay packages. On a second tier of AI savvy, workers can rake in close to $1 million a year.

Landing a job is tough for most everyone else.

Frustrated job seekers contend businesses could expand the AI talent pipeline with a little imagination. The argument is companies should accept that relatively few people have AI-specific experience because the technology is so new. They ought to focus on identifying candidates with transferable skills and let those people learn on the job.

Often, though, companies seem to hold out for dream candidates with deep backgrounds in machine learning. Many AI-related roles go unfilled for weeks or months—or get taken off job boards only to be reposted soon after.'

I think it could be pretty damn immediate. What's missing are unions and pensions for long-term job stability, tolerability, security, and clear career progression. What's missing are wages that kept up with the inflation rates of housing and healthcare, not the price of wheat or flatscreen TVs. What's missing is C-suite norms that favor retaining workers through the usual economic-cycle downturns, rather than swiftly choosing to enact mass firings any time the CEO has a little indigestion (the science is extremely mixed on this anyway, there's not even a good reason to believe the latter approach is better for the company in general, and the C-suite zeitgeist used to favor avoiding mass firings unless absolutely necessary)

I don't think there'd be any waiting for worker "culture" to catch up to fill roles with comp packages and working conditions that addressed those core issues.

Enough people to sustain the model still click. At Meta's scale, you only need a small fraction of clicks and conversions to make it worth it. Meta reaches billions of people, so even a small slice of that is still a huge chunk of people.

There's also a bit of competitive pressure. Even if people get numb to ads, business, especially small businesses, can't afford to not show up if their competitors are still showing up in feeds.

The usual advertising psychology tricks still apply also which is why ads still work. Even if the ad itself doesn't result in a conversion, there's still the exposure effect of someone seeing your brand over and over again in their feed. The more times someone sees it, they'll subconsciously start preferring that brand or see it as more trustworthy. Among other tricks.

My experience with school wasn't that different from work life. Lessons that I learned in school that followed:

1) I am a dork, embrace it

2) Avoid Math

3) Scientific method = troubleshooting with purpose. Use it.

4) People in charge can be total idiots, but they're still in charge

5) Popularity and Competence are not related

6) Competence and compensation are not related

7) If you stay focused and just do you, you'll succeed despite other people's drama and your personal pains

8) Abuse is abuse, and people negligent in doing anything about it are participating in it. Get toxicity out of your life.

9) People who believe in you are right. Ignore the rest and allow yourself to thrive despite them.

School sucked.

I have edited a bit of the comment and can appreciate it if you read it again but as I have said in some other comments too, there is a social contract between the govt and the citizens and that the citizens should balance / check the govt's rights sometimes and vice versa with judiciary playing a big role too.

another issue which might be is that we are living in a democracy but our options are limited because of the money that flows into these elections.

Is it truly a democracy if its just two options and in my opinion, there is very little that both parties do to fundamentally drastically change the system because of both of them are funded by money donations from large corporations mostly...

They are just different flavours and one might be more preferred than the other for obvious options but even that is not enough and there might be a need for something radical if we truly want to call ourselves democracy and fight against an oligarchy and the sheer influence that big tech has.

I think that we definitely might need to do something as the rights of citizens if we feel like the govt is favouring the big tech or taking decisions that aren't in our interests but that takes real energy but that might be the best way moving forward I am just not sure.

We definitely need some radical change for the economy too and the influence that big tech has. In my opinion we have fought for less and won yet this things seems so hidden that nobody discusses it in real life except here and maybe its hidden because some people might be scared of having all people be educated about this topic as its not in their interests.

To me, I am not sure mate but a lot of the times, to me it seems that people have given hope on radical change, they have accepted things, they have accepted being spied upon so much that they don't even think about it. But as I said in my previous comment that there is definitely a scope of discussion / real change in this I suppose too.

As an addition, 5 million is a lot for BoF. At the end of 2024 their balance was a little over 1.8 million EUR. Even a single day's worth of coercive fine (100k EUR) would be meaningful to them.

The page you linked to lists both ’ and ', in that order. There’s no point in being (wrongly) pedantic about either, both have strengths and weaknesses (explained in the Wikipedia pages). The point is that if someone cares to use proper typographic characters not immediately visible in the keyboard (which the person I replied to seems to), they probably care to use the right ones. Both ’ and ' are correct, but ‘ is not.

I was just focusing on a few specific things in the Claude Code 2 release notes, namely they added two features /rewind and /usage, and I was disappointed in both. It's also probably a little too long as is. And yeah I've heard a lot of people complain about the Codex CLI experience though in a previous post I mentioned many Redditors like this repo to improve it:

https://github.com/just-every/code

I haven't tried Crush nor even heard of Opencode so I'll have to check them out, thanks for the feedback.

It's interesting that myself, and a non-insignificant number of other people, would take an option like this if it were legal. It would certainly make vacations much more affordable to be able to bring my home with me and not pay for an AirBNB/hotel + rental car/ubers!

However, to someone for whom rent is an onerous expense, vans and box trucks are prohibitively expensive, especially when you consider 10 year TCO.

That applies to crimes dealing with theft or assault. I.e when you are willing to break basic rules of society, that indicates

On the flip side if you run something like a drug trafficking business, you can probably run a generic shipping business if you make the same risk adjusted money without reverting to do doing anything illegal.

In the same way, if you run a piracy website, you most likely can just get paid big bucks at a tech company to do very easy work because you are likely smarter than most people there, and cruise control without worrying about doing anything illegal.

Alan Kay described [1] what he considers the first object oriented system, made in the 60s by an unknown programmer. It was a tape-based storage system, where the "format" of the tap was a set of routines to read, write, etc. at a known offsets on the tape.

So, prior art! :)

Sure, but a company doesn't have some mystical right to exist with a below market clearing comp package. Assuming no other factors, the correct solution here is for the company to fold and be replaced by a company that is more efficient. Instead, we have companies complaining about a shortage (that they've created via low pay) and demanding action (more immigrants, or whatever else).

I built something mostly like this, albeit not self-hosted: https://mood.site

The idea of it is - a simple website where, when you go to it, an album is auto-created for you without need for an account.

You can upload images to that site through drag and drop or clicking upload. Once uploaded images can be rearranged and resized, with the grid adapting.

You can share the gallery with other people to collab on it by sharing the URL with the edit query param attached. If you share the link without the edit key the gallery is view only.

Here's my personal inspiration board as an example: https://mood.site/WvP4xd6x

Main thing it's lacking based on your ask is ability to toggle visibility for individual photos.

--

I haven't considered making it something people could self-host, but the underlying tech is easy enough and is just backed by a pretty simple database that I could maybe bake into a single delivery html + js file that references a folder of images. Would that be interesting?

>My $15 weight scale from Amazon measures body fat and syncs to my phone

Smartwatches like the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5/6, which use wrist based sensors to measure body fat, are convenient but not very reliable. They typically have an error margin of ±3–5% (e.g., reading 17.5%–23.0% for someone who is 20%) because they only measure your torso and are sensitive to your hydration levels. A 2022 study in Obesity Facts by Kim et al. found a mean error of 3.8% for Samsung's BIA compared to a DEXA scan. The U.S. Navy Method, which uses a tape measure for your neck, waist, and hips, is a cheap alternative but has a ±4–6% error margin (e.g., 16.0%–24.0%) due to inconsistencies in measuring and variations in body shape. A 2019 study in Military Medicine by Hinton et al. reported a mean error of 4.2% for this method in men.

On overstimulation: there is something about office conversations that I find overwhelming now, and it's that, since COVID, people seem to have lost their inside voices and are talking at volumes that seem quite a bit louder than usual.

Because of this the 'pub conversation' effect comes into play, where multiple conversations take place in the same room and the different groups compete on volume in order to remain heard.

I pretty much shut down at that point, especially if someone is also trying to talk to me at the same time. I can't stand it just the same as I can't stand it in a loud pub.

Never use to happen before 2020. Or it did and I wasn't nearly as sensitive to it as I am now.

In fact, it happens when people are on their phones in otherwise silent places too. If I can hear you with almost perfect clarity when you should otherwise be out of earshot, then it is too loud.

This was a really interesting read, and really makes me appreciate how much medical technology has improved. I have been considering getting ICL surgery or similar for years, but the improvements are still happening and I find that I wait 5 years or so and something new is developed. At some point I will get eye surgery, but until then, I'm very happy to see that we continually improve.

My biggest fear is that they are sincere. "Of course it's the minorires' fault" in 90+% of contexts is a very dire stance.

And if we misaligned so much that we can't even agree on a point as base as "Do I have a right to exist", then that's when I know it's time to find another community. Those are the kinds of "curiosities" I'd not like to explore at this stage of my life.

Nonsense. The US won the lunar space race decades ago. China is still trying to catch up. The US launched six missions to the moon and from that, a total of 12 men have walked on the moon. We don't need to repeat that effort just to prove we still have our mojo.

What the U.S. should be focusing on is why we want to return to the Moon. Is the goal to establish a permanent lunar colony? If so, what’s its purpose - scientific research, resource extraction, geopolitical presence? Are we building a waypoint for Mars missions? These are the questions that matter.

The US going back to the moon needs to be done with purpose - as we've already been there, done that.

Funny that you bring up Borges and Eco. Eco when commenting on his library, I can't remember if in an essay or lecture, referred to it as an 'anti-library', pointing out that one of the most important skills a reader can possess is to be able to talk about books one hasn't read. As in Borges Library of Babel most people will be doomed to only read very little of what is in existence.

He thought his huge library should be taken as a research tool and sign of 'conscious ignorance' of the vast things you don't know, rather than taking a consumer mindset to it, which you see a lot of people do when they brag about how many books they've read.

The built-in nav is always awful anyway.

My partner replaced her 11 year BMW 5 GT with a new X4 last month. The nav is slow (probably updates the view twice a second) and out of date. I think it needs new roads updating via a USB stick.

The Android Auto and Carplay integration are fantastic though - silky smooth (better than the phone they're coming from) and always up to date.

Who ever uses those built-in things?

Maybe I'm not supposed to get it, since I'm not autistic, but why does turning off the radio with an annoying sound reduce energy? From my perspective, I can't find any logical correlation between the choices made and the outcomes.

Seems like turning off the annoying sound would be a good thing. This, unfortunately, just makes autism seem inscrutable and something I will just never understand.

> What would be difficult is quantifying note attack exactly for XYZ's riff sections.

At 60 BPM, mathematical quarter notes are 1000ms apart. But in a pocket groove, you may notice that every other quarter note is "late", or "swung":

|o---o---o---o---| (mathematical) |o----o--o----o--| (swung)

If you load a groovy song in Audacity you should be able to see these inter-note delays.

Another factor that affects rhythm is note duration relative to the tempo -- you'll want to measure that too.

> Matching another guitarist's intonation down to a tee

I suspect if you study a few groovy songs you'll find there's just a slightly different note grid that's common to these songs (there could be more than one grid!) Teaching this grid (rather than teaching one specific song) will help the student learn to shift notes away from the the mathematical metronome placement. This skill will equip many of them to mimic the feel of their favorite artist by ear.

>You're right, things have been worse for certain people.

I mean, in a historical context, things have been worse for almost everybody except a tiny percentage of the population and even they had issue that you treat easily today. For example if you're based in the AU, then you have affordable healthcare without the risk of bankruptcy. You don't have parasites. You don't have infections. Even though you feel broke, you live as well as or better than the historical merchant class.

>Meanwhile, I don't have the legal right to own property in those cheap countries

I mean, this is part of why housing is cheap in those countries. Treat housing like an asset, and don't be surprised why it's expensive.
