maybe we don't need someone who never built a plane, as much as allow some of those that already do to scale up?

Bombardier, COMAC/UAC, Mitsubishi, or some of those that make very small planes like Textron etc.

The problem seems to me that aircraft companies are treated as national assets, and no country wants to allow, and obviously not encourage, challengers to their champion.
Excuse me if I take that ToI article with a pinch of salt. Venture capitalists will throw money at anything they think they can make a buck on, e.g. WeWork.

What's the benefit over the forked SingleFile ?

So appart from the compression gain, why the need for SingleFileZ ?

I'm interested on this as well.

I have been trying to fine-tune GPT-2 on genre fiction to work as a sort of "fiction replicator". Stylistically it actually seems to do quite reasonably, but it lacks narrative cohesion. This problem, as you point out, is corpus agnostic.

I thought of trying to keep track of characters and key interactions outside of the model, but I haven't figured out how to make these two models interact reliably -- outside of just having the first component generate prompts for the second model in a kind of cooperative setting.

Is there a known way to set up transformer to do infix generation? That is: give it a start and end prompt, and an estimated number of tokens to fill in between. That seems like it should be doable and could improve things, but I haven't found any work on this problem yet and haven't had the time (and potentially don't have the skills) to look deeply myself yet.
Time to whip out:

How can it be that Facebook with all their engineering prowess can't even tell who accessed what, let alone put adequate permission controls on their APIs?

Those are called hotels :-)
Exactly this. I'd add that homestays allow me to pay for just what I need - a comfortable/safe/private room to stay in. A lot of the extras you're paying for at a hotel are totally unnecessary for me:

-someone making the bed + tidying the room

-fancy buffet

-facilities like gym/spa/TV

-general feeling of 'luxury'

Obviously there are some people who do care about these things, but as I don't I'd rather not pay for them.

I’d contest the airlines would not act as you suggest:

1) they’d believe they can get away with it.

2) it wouldn’t be the end of the airline. Large fine, negotiated down, cost of doing business.

Even if people died, would the fine be that huge? I can’t find numbers for past incidents, but somewhere in my memory I have $2m for wrongful death. 300/4 * 2m = 150m. Is that way off? BA just got fined 230m for a data breach...

By and large the investor earns rewards because that capital is doing useful work funding productive businesses. Maybe allowing the software business next to your furniture shop to expand, selling services abroad bringing money into the country, or creating a web site you can sell your furniture on.

The sorts of financial engineering you're talking about is of course a real thing, but can also add real value by making other useful transactions cheaper. So for example high frequency trading is used heavily by market makers, that provide a useful service creating liquidity in markets. That makes it easier and cheaper to buy and sell equities and such.
This was the entire premise of Airbnb; you get a cheap lodging (sometimes literally on an air bed), and the owner (optionally) might even make you breakfast. It then kind of evolved into a gray area, with some businesses essentially running large numbers of apartments. Many argue that at that scale, it is disruptive to others living nearby, and should be regulated as a normal hotel operation, etc.

IIRC I started on a Knoppix live CD and over the next year or so I hopped around Mandrake, Ubuntu, Gentoo[1], Red Hat, etc. mostly coming back to Mandrake... and then I found Arch and fell in love with its simplicity and speed.

Around the time of GNOME 3 and KDE 4 I went looking for a new DE and found Unity to be the best and most polished - even to this day it's better than anything I've used before or since - which meant I had to use Ubuntu for a while, but eventually the Debian-isms and instability got to me and I went back home to my Arch.

BTW, I use Arch Linux... on servers and have found it to be very stable, simple and pain-free esp. when compared to Debian and Ubuntu.

That might just be a great font for casual tech docs, like programming hands-on tutorials, where you want the typography to invite your readers to experimentation, rather than having the text look like set in stone.

We don't know what the future carrying capacity of earth will be, and wild speculation there helps noone.

We do know current carrying capacity appears to be too low but what is the best way to fix that? Is it telling the people who have many kids today - primarily the poor and uneducated - to have fewer kids? Is that likely to work?

I believe Hans Rosling is right, who said birth rates are a direct consequence of how rich or poor you are. We've seen hundreds of millions lifted from poverty in the last few decades, with dropping birth rates as a result. The best action has to be to work to lift more out of poverty. Sitting in our ivory tower and declaring that people should have fewer kids is not going to work.

Because local housing naturally has a limited supply making it a natural monopoly in addition to the fact that, since it's very difficult to live without housing, it is a one-sided market without alternatives.

So, as much as you'd like to pretend it's just a matter of personal freedoms, bypassing housing codes via the guise of a tech company just enables negative externalities that restrict the personal freedoms of others. And the 'others' are the people who actually live there, making them more important than you.
DCA means you invest the money as you get it. It doesn't mean you identify an existing lump sum and invest it slowly over time. Because you only DCA if you think it'll go up over time. Why would you DCA if you think it will go down over time?

So if you think it will go up over time, then if you have $x for it right now, put it all in. Don't DCA it because if you believe it will go up over time, then you're just missing out on the gains you believe will be there. If you're convincing yourself that it'll go down in the next 2 months before it goes up the 4 after that, you're just being too clever trying to predict the future.

DCA is just about what you do with additional money you get in the future, that you don't have yet. Like, if your DCA money is 0.5% of your yearly revenue, then after each paycheck, put that 0.5% of your paycheck into your investment. That's all it is. The idea is that it is to keep you from forgetting about the market and only investing when everyone's talking about it during the highs.
Have you never heard of a traditional BnB? The charm is a welcoming host, home cooked breakfast, a small group of like minded travelers to talk to, and unique accommodations. Usually there's 2-8 bedrooms. They've been together since the dawn of modern civilization.

As long as the host stays out of your way when you need (eg, anytime other than when you need them), it's rather quite nice. It's hard to beat the conversation you have over a glass of wine after dinner. I've made lifelong friends this way.

Sure, no one wants to stay in someone's studio with a wall divider, but thats absurd.
Two miles is still really far. That grocery density would mean only ten grocers or so in a major city like Berlin. Small towns should be able to achieve much shorter distances . Nevertheless, 2 miles is well within the ability of people to cycle. Elderly people with poor balance can use electric tricycles.

The worst is that they can have their cake and eat it too.

My case: initially deemed fit to serve, did my recruit school and most of my WKs, had only a few days of service left to do. And then; "sorry, you are actually unfit to serve". And now, I get to pay the tax as if I did nothing. Ok, not really; I have a reduction because of the days of service I already did, but it's nowhere near a pro-rata rate. After the sacrifices I had to do to accomodate them, I am rather disgusted.
> Can anybody who is not into climbing even tell this is all fake?

Yes, quite clearly from the following:

> She made the first ascent of 8,832-meter K2 in China, the second highest mountain in the world, in 2009 and the third highest mountain in Europe.

Firstly, this sentence scans poorly. I'm guessing it should be:

> In 2009, she made the first ascent of 8,832-meter K2 in China, the second highest mountain in the world, and the third highest mountain in Europe.

Second, how can a mountain in China be the third highest mountain in Europe? How can the second highest mountain the world be the third highest in Europe?

If I came across this in the wild, then even if I didn't think it was fake, I'd definitely think it was poorly proofread.

> I don't know what you mean here, but it is certainly possible for TypeScript code to use JavaScript libraries and vice versa, which is presumably what most people mean by "TypeScript interops with JavaScript".

Ah, I can see what you/they mean by that. The point I was trying to get across was: TypeScript doesn't exist when code is actually executing (which is what I think of as interop - it's happening at execution time.) At execution time - it's all just JavaScript.

I have found (working in a TypeScript team currently) that this fact is ignored, primarily by people who "look down" on JavaScript, but it is a VERY important point to remember when you are writing TypeScript, mostly because it's important to remember there is only compile time type checking not run time.

> Technically false... https://assemblyscript.org

Heh, yes - as soon as I posted I realised that was silly. The word "always" is almost "always" incorrect! I should have said: "It usually transpiles to JavaScript and usually runs as JavaScript"

> The Million Dollar Mistake is having unchecked nulls; TypeScript supports checked nulls so it's not an issue. TypeScript's nulls are much more similar to Maybe/Option than unchecked nulls

Good point in theory but my practical experience hasn't borne this out. That is because TypeScript is an "optionally typed" language and it hasn't been true in practice because of excessive use of explicit or implicit "any"s.
It could potentially use const-ness for these use cases, though I'm not sure that would be tractable.

More realistically, it could allow the programmer to express it explicitly, as in C# (C<in T, out V> is covariant in T and contravariant in V) or Java (C<? extends T,? super V> is covariant in the first parameter, contravariant in the second). This would not solve the problem that the co-/contra-variance of some types may depend on their const-ness, but it would allow at least a covariant, always read-only, std::vector_view<T> (similar to IEnumerable<in T> in C#, which can also be implemented by the invariant List<T>/std::vector<T>).
PhoneBook: Turn Any Smartphone into a Laptop Computer
It seems crazy to me that you'd have to do a HTTP(S) request to find out whether a day was a working day. A HTTP(S) call which then probably does a DB lookup over the network. Just seems like an extra layer of overhead, when you could just have a library instead.

I've never worked on microservices, so I may just have a fundamental misunderstanding of how granular you're supposed to be & also don't know if this is the norm.

Would be nice to hear some other opinions on this.
Maybe you can answer this question for me: Why does HP not have a good ink tank printer based on the shell of something like the HP OfficeJet 3830?

I don't understand why we don't mandate stricter energy efficiency for new buildings. Why is it still legal to rely on fossil fuels for heating for example?
To my knowledge, in France, the national road systems are private (but weren't always) and charge massive tolls, but maintenance is paid for by contracts from the government. So all of the private owners of the roads also run sister companies that do maintenance. The government pays exorbitant prices to the companies to do maintenance for the roads that they then also make large amounts of toll from.

I'm not saying I fully support private roads or public roads, but the worst combination is a little bit of both...
What's “flutter”?
I always do my best regardless of compensation. Why would I be doing any less? Doing less harms me more than it harms the company I'm in and it makes it harder to get compensated more.

Equity is part of a range of other forms of compensation. It is a lottery ticket, yes, but statistically, lottery tickets have a value. A job that pays $20k with 1% equity in a million dollar company is better than a job that pays $25k, but worse than one that pays $50k (after taxes and all that). Plus there's other little things like potential to learn, comfort level of chairs, fun level of team.

If I get a better offer elsewhere, I will take that instead.
Amen, the communal aspect is well worth it. Especially due to BnB's (not AirBnBs) are a bit more expensive, so the community is self selecting. You have to want to be there.
This does not necessarily invalidate your wider points, but just FYI:

> It does not interop with JavaScript.

Hm, this depends on your definition of "interop". My JavaScript and TypeScript are languages that exchange information. The execution model ultimately involves JavaScript when I use tsc, but ultimately it also includes an interpreter. My user-space syntax doesn't care.

People downvoting this are not seeing the whole picture. Yes, 4 competitors is better than 3. The problem is that Sprint is no longer a competitor and is on a downward spiral. Without a massive cash injection, they no longer had a viable path to catch up. Their service is bad because they don’t have enough cash coming in to improve their infrastructure, and customers aren’t giving them cash because their service is bad. So they charge less, and get further behind.

T-mobile is the underdog. They are making a remarkable recovery and putting up a fight against VZW and ATT. But they still have coverage and congestion issues that are dealbreakers for many potential customers. They have already put pressure on VZW and ATT to lower prices and start bundling third party perks this year. Giving TMO an infrastructure and subscriber boost by allowing them to acquire Sprint is going to put a lot more pressure on the other two, especially once their 600mhz Band 71 rollout is done and consumers upgrade to newer chipsets that support it, essentially solving their infamous building penetration problems.

With Sprint’s assets and subscriber base, they’ll go from being the underdog to being a serious threat to both ATT and VZW. Instead of thinking that we went from 4 players to 3, think of it as though we went from 2 players to 3.

Edit: Actually it’s better than that. The approval requires TMO to provide Dish with spectrum access for 5 years and operate as an MVNO while Dish builds out it’s own nationwide 5G network to go independent. That means this deal puts 4 players in the market, as opposed to 2.75 players if it was blocked.
In the readme for Turbobase64, they state:

> there are no penalties for telling a lie on the internet.

Some unrelated points on this:

People will believe you less if they find evidence against your lie.

This problem is a recent one that came about when the gullible masses started arriving to the internet in the 2000s.

I can concieve of no structured way of penalizing liars because I don't see any way of making a truth determining institution that would not be immediately corrupted.
