I would wager this is in response to the announcement that Twitter would be complying with international law and removing accounts that violate the "no POW" rules. This account violated those several times, whereas many Russian propaganda accounts have not.

Amazon Prime does this as well. Wonder if the database server expense figures into the decision?
I'm one of the ones they lost. I suddenly noticed the experience is inferior. The search doesn't seem to even take into account the thing I typed in. Maybe it's just that they've been so utterly gutted by the loss of all the Fox content to Disney+, that they're trying to cover it up with "well we don't have that, but perhaps you would like..."

Speaking of "perhaps you would like," what do you call it when someone flashes something poorly targeted, unwanted and irrelevant in front of your eyeballs and pushes it a bit too hard? I call that an ad. I'm paying for advertising. Or rather, I was.
Let's not get carried away here with emotional language. Perhaps you could see it as a giant rock lying on someone's leg and this guy is saying "If others will help, I will lend my strength to lift the rock". He just doesn't want to push the rock by himself alone because it won't work. Rock's too big.

It's not an outlandish sentiment so I don't think it needs all this "disgusting" and "virtue signaling" and "right thing" stuff. It's just "I believe we need group action to have outcomes. I am willing to contribute in such a group".

There are loads of such examples:

- Indiegogo

- Aforementioned Rock

- Kickstarter

There's some minimum activation energy necessary for rock to get off leg and if we cannot accumulate that, it is possible for energy to be spent elsewhere more productively.

All me actually.. though I do have a couple UX buddies I bounce ideas off from time to time. My programming journey started in middle school coding videogames to play with friends, and perhaps that's always shaped the way I approach projects: as much as possible, I like to visualize the end state (layout, interactions, the little things you want to be able to do as a user and how that should feel) before getting too far down the road coding the underlying systems.
Stop zoning out multi-family homes and apartment buildings and this wouldn't be a problem. Believe it or not, there are many low-income people living in cities where these things are allowed, and they're not all renting single family homes.
Is it believed that you'll do less overall compute and bandwidth if you use serverless functions to execute (parts of your) client, in place of sending static bundles to the client and letting them execute it?

I don't really get SSR. Isn't it more desirable to have more of the compute required to render the client done by the client machinery? I view this both as true in corporate and public web scenarios, surely it's cheaper to let the public render the SPA than it is to render it for them, surely in corporate this takes better advantage of already purchased machines with already installed programs instead of developer cycles wasted to recreate it, and surely it's better to have less server load and deployment complexity in both cases

When I played with it, I started a quest as a wizard looking for a book.

I was able to cast a tracking spell that led me to a giant library.

I could have it read the titles of the books on a shelf in front of me.

I could pick up any book and open to a random page and have it tell me what was in it.

One was about a little half-elf that had a magic flute that broke.

I cast a summoning spell to summon the half-elf and fix its flute, after which it happily played a song opening a door to another dimension filled with musical instruments.

Give me that level of emergent gameplay in a VR open world, and then just take my money and all my free time, as I'm never leaving.

We're simply very, very early on in what's arguably going to be the most transformative tech since the Internet. People predicted back then that the slow network which only offered basic things like email wasn't going to significantly disrupt things like retail.

They were only right in that it didn't remain slow and ended up doing a lot more than email.

This stuff is getting better way faster than any tech I've seen, and I used to consult for CEOs at Fortune 500s and sit on advisory boards on the topic of emerging tech.

I wouldn't be so quick to bet against it. We really haven't even started to see what these models can do in application.

It is more like 10M+ for single run for the latest generation models[1]. This is a key reason why not lot of models are out there.

Few groups have that kind of money to commit, also the viability is not yet very clear , i.e. how much the model with make if commercialized so they can recoup the investment.

There is also cost of running the model on each API call, of course not factoring in any of the employee and other costs for sales marketing etc.

I remember the games had to be ordered via catalog (toys r us, jc penney) and took 6+ months to arrive.

Blockbuster ate their lunch with rentals. BB and Hollywood Video went to town on this with the SNES with guaranteed in stock new games for rental.

On the switch Nintendo charges insane prices for re-released (read- emulated and poorly). If you want to play their shitty emulation of an N64 game it's like $70 US/year.

I am just one lowly engineer, but I do what I can.

The other 5000 and 6000 series cards work to varying degrees. Unfortunately, since AMD doesn't officially support them, I can't easily get hardware to test them myself.

My understanding is that the RX 6700 XT (gfx1031) mostly works, with some caveats. Gentoo did some performance tuning for the BLAS libraries with that GPU. The AMD GPU libraries aren't built for that architecture by default, but I'd be happy to help anyone compile them from source. There's an extensive open source test suite that can be used to validate GPU functionality outside of the official hardware support list.
Tree domestication takes a lot longer than for pulses and grains, which hints they might have started rather earlier.

I'm not sure what about two bundles causes a huge level of complexity. Granted, I use Next.js, it does all of this out of the box.

SSR is fast, it's provably faster than client side rendering for first load. You can optionally do client side hydration, so the time to meaningful content is fast from SSR, and subsequent page loads are done SPA style (if you want).

It's never a fair comparison, but Stackoverflow is entirely SSR (not Node.js) and it's very fast. Also, all forum software, which is SSR, despite being 20-30 years old, is usually faster than a SPA. The Jamstack is a recipe for loading spinners, not speed.
It's not even just the address bar. It's how DNS works.
If I were writing a document to be shared with Russian government officials, I would want those suggestions. The consequences of making my document not suit its audience already exist. If I'm writing a suggestion to my mail carrier, I wouldn't want to use the the word "mailman" because she could see it as being passive aggressive and interpret the suggestion accordingly.

This, just like spell-checking, just makes it easier to write a document that won't make the audience quibble over diction or make negative inferences about tone.

No, it's due to rqlite.

rqlite does support a form of transactions -- you can send a set of SQLite statements, and either all will be successful, or none will be. You can even send a BEGIN statement, and a SQLite transaction will be opened (and you can COMMIT later). However, due to the nature of Raft, restarting the cluster in the middle of an open transaction will not clear the transaction -- and most folks probably don't expect this. That's why I need to think more before advocating use of traditional transactions with rqlite -- distributed transaction functionality is easy to get wrong, so requires careful thought. You can use SQLite transactions, but you must be careful. That's why drivers don't tend to support it yet.

SSR is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard of. Client and server are different things, treat them that way. The whole web dev community keeps tripping all over itself to make simple things wildly complicated.
Glad you appreciate the snappiness :) that's the product of a lot of deliberation on optimizations and occasional shower thought / moment of inspiration. Maybe what I should do is add another tier that's just persistent storage with none of the other premium features; essentially "Basic" but with saving.

Aren't all of them single-threaded, though? That is, they only work in a VM with a single thread which the GC shares? Since WASM is supposedly finally bringing real multi threading to the web, how would that work? It seems like you'd need a new GC for WASM rather then just repurposing the JS GC.

> It’s not trained on labeled data

This could be misleading to some people. The original inputs to the CLIP encoders are pairs of images and text which are known to match.

Both the text encoder and the image encoder are then trained to minimize differences in output from eachother when given corresponding (“labeled” / “ground truth”) image/text pairs.

From one of the linked papers, it does both - generate from scratch (zero-shot), and edit existing template images.

> While our model can render a wide variety of text prompts zero-shot, it can can have difficulty producing realistic im ages for complex prompts. Therefore, we provide our model with editing capabilities in addition to zero-shot generation,
which allows humans to iteratively improve model samples until they match more complex prompts. Specifically, we fine-tune our model to perform image inpainting, finding that it is capable of making realistic edits to existing images using natural language prompts.

Unless that only applies to GLIDE and not to DAL-E?
As an aside, how does one get involved in the WebAssembly community?

For example, if you wanted to get involved in Kubernetes you'd go to KubeCon, and governance of the OSS project is pretty understandable?

I know there's a bunch of Nintendo nerds on HN that would play emulated games on their switch but how many switch owners actually want to play old games? There's a lot of kids out there that like playing new games that have modern graphics and gameplay. There are plenty of handheld or console devices out there that can emulate old games but none of them ever sell that well. Nintendo has spent some resources developing the emulators but it likely died when they realized it wouldn't sell that well and that many games would be unavailable unless Nintendo felt like relicensing games from publishers that are owned by competitors.

I (unlike you, despite being asked to do so several times) responded with specific informattion to clarify my point.

I (unlike you) assumed good faith on your part and attempted to more clearly explain my thoughts. You did nothing of the sort and made a point of putting words in my mouth that I never said or implied, and don't believe.

It's unfortunate, but it seems I've been caught not taking my own advice[0]. Again. More's the pity.

Well, backwards compatibility is really a spectrum and the interpretation of the concept can fall at either end of the spectrum depending on what a person is working on. As far as wasm is concerned, there are at least two known discrepancies that made into this draft as documented here https://github.com/WebAssembly/spec/issues/1439.

Especially the last comment by Alex here seems interesting to me – on one hand the observable result of the execution changes for the same program. On another, who is going to bother writing such programs? Should WebAssembly specification be allowed to assume nobody does and make changes such as these?

> The term 'hey guys' may very well be materially 'inclusive' enough that it doesn't warrant intervention necessary.

That's not a decision made unilaterally by speakers and writers of the language; it's a decision made by those listening and reading, as well. You can't decide how your words are perceived; you can only choose what words you use.

> Some people draw the line at

Some people don't think of language in terms of "lines", as though saying "fine, this far, but no further". Language is a living, changing thing; every piece of it is interpreted in varying ways by different people, and those ways change over time. Using it, like many other human interactions, is an exercise in modeling others around you, and the net effect you want your communication to have to its many audiences, and the environment that communication will create, and all the connotations it may convey. When trying to record that in a dictionary, it may round to a few broad buckets or categories, but the language as it lives in people's heads seems more continuous than discrete.

That's true of all communication, not just specific words. If you tried to plot individual words or phrases in meaning-space, some of them would have fairly sharp well-identified points where the majority of people agree, and some of them would have fuzzier boundaries, and some of them would have multi-modal distributions. And even that oversimplifies, because it's entirely possible to model people at multiple depths, "this is what the speaker means when they're saying it, this is what parts of the audience are hearing, this is what other parts of the audience are hearing", such that your own model of some communication is a mental model of many interpretations.

This pattern applies in many different cases, and people do it all the time: predicting whether your audience is likely to know a particular piece of jargon from your field and comparing that to the value of the jargon or the need to define/explain it; accurately conveying levels of confidence/certainty/uncertainty; considering whether your audience will know a meme; attempting to come across as professional; choosing the right vocabulary level for the audience; making a new piece of terminology; naming a program or project; making a pun.
He who controls the data controls the learner. - @pmddomingos

One might suggest that the term 'model' is in fact an extremely bad choice of name for the concept of a collection of condensed post-training decision support data in the machine learning world, because it implies a faux-scientific air of objectivity, precision, peer review, and intelligibility for inspection that is entirely undue. IMHO better terminology would have been a new/clean term without conceptual baggage that included some recognition of its fundamental nature: computed/derived/one-way/known-fallible.
