Tell me what I'm missing here - my project requires a download of N resources over N different hits to get them. Now in theory I host all my dependencies like css file, font-files, images and js files. Assuming I turn on gzip at my web server (nginx lets say) and I set up cache headers such that every resource file downloaded does not expire for 1 year, then the files download 1x for every initial page load. The first time is a hit not unlike downloading a decent sized image file which we all do without complaint on a daily basis.

Sure, I get it - a whole bunch of stuff has to come down before Document.onload() can be called and thats time from a JS perspective the user is looking at nothing. What I like to do is setup the default screen to be a fixed position blocking layer with my company logo on it and the last thing Document.onload() does is remove it. The initial load they see it for 1.4 seconds. Subsequent reloads from browser cache it's up barely long enough to notice.

So the problem of initial load is easily managed and not that big of a problem in the first place honestly. Simply setup caching on the web server to persist the files as long as possible ( I think a year is the max in most places now ) and problem solved right?

Now occasionally I run across some browser on some platform thats greedy about caching and refuses to pay proper attention to cache headers and replace them with newer versions when they come down. Its a little more of a pain but still well worth it to simply add a fingerprint to each remote resource fetched:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/foo/bar.css>

becomes:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/foo/bar.css?id=FINGERPRINT">

Now at build or deploy time I incorporate a little script that generates the current time in seconds and uses sed to replace FINGERPRINT with the current time in seconds (123888238823482834) such that browser sees:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/foo/bar.css?id=123888238823482834">

This is a unique URL and forces the browser to pull down the new asset. This is easy to do with resources pulled down in the <head> section and more problematic with images however you just change the image name from "image" to "image_v2" on edits or changes and the problem goes away. Its easily enough done to iterate the image directory changing "*.jpg" files to a new version number and making the same replacements in html and js files if you really want to get tricky about it.

Now, new files are fetched one and only once per device and the page weight of a particular JS file becomes practically irrelevant.

> What do you mean, unstable?

I mean, the lack of transparency and partial information makes the situation unstable. Employers enjoy an information advantage. Times that this information advantage are breached --- whether by people selectively sharing information, leaks, etc --- cause big disruptions to morale and big movements of people.

Partial information is known to distort markets and cause wide variability in outcomes (and to create less stable equilibria than markets with better information flow).
In my experience tests also slow refactoring down, despite the common mantra claiming the opposite.

Want to extract some logic into a new interface or introduce a new parameter to a method?

Well, now instead of just doing that, you will also have to update all tests dealing with said logic.

At my previous job I spent much more time updating tests testing trivial shit than actually writing useful code.
Similar here. Have 1Blocker, Better, Purify, and the Firefox Focus Safari extension and between those I rarely see ads. Compared to Firefox with uBlock Origin on my Windows machines I’d say the experience is about 98-99% as good.
I'd like to confirm that this works in my GTX 2060 with 6 GB VRAM on windows. I didn't do any modifications on the provided source code; faces are a little problematic.

I don't use anaconda so I created a new venv with python 3.10, installed the requirements as proposed, registered with hugging face and create the api key and run the provided source code.

Any way to improve the quality of the faces? Also how could I tune the parameters a bit ? (I'm not familiar with this AI stuff at all, I'm just a humble python programmer)
Exactly, but I published one of my projects on GitHub, at least its source code can useful for someone else.

This keeps popping up. Whose interests does it serve to make those who vote, on average, less informed, experienced, and interested in politics? People readily decry how stupid they were when the were teenagers, so why then turn around and give them the vote? And how can one simultaneously decry disinformation, while adding those most vulnerable to it to the voting body?

You want me to google news articles for you?
I'm sure he is, but rules are rules. Google cannot store that content for any purpose whatsoever: there are very specific regulatory standards in place for storing medical data, and Google Drive/iCloud doesn't comply with those standards. They (both!) go as far as to tell you that in the EULA, so the context of the situation doesn't even matter in the first place.

The more bothersome thing (to me) is client-side scanning. Apple is setting a precedent that allows any first-party manufacturer to work against the user's interests as long as there's a large enough common enemy. It should go without saying, but that's a horrible idea!

If Google were doing the same thing on their Pixel phones, I'd be slamming them equally as hard. It's simply depressing to watch a company claim they know best, while proceeding to use your phone to run their regulatory compliance code.
For me the biggest thing is finding the sport or activity that you enjoy (or can at least tolerate) doing.

Over the years I tried biking, running (street, trail, track), swimming, various machines, other things I'm probably forgetting. Hated every minute of it, and could never stick with it.

I tried weightlifting a few years ago. No machines, just barbells. I honesly can't say that I love doing it, but I have been able to stick with it 3 days per week and I only miss if I am sick or have an unavoidable conflict.

If you can't get into the habit of working out, try something else. Also try variations of group/solitary activity. I'm a pretty introverted person but one thing that helps with getting to the gym is knowing a group of people there.

There's a big difference between having an operating computable function computing on real hardware, and having the idea that a certain phenomenon is potentially computable.
We have become seriously screwed up when we call “working the job you are paid to do” “quiet quitting.” This implies all jobs are under specifying their actual requirements and by proxy under paying for expected labor, and that’s the employees fault - otherwise they’re not just underperforming but “quitting” quietly - quietly because it’s actually entirely satisfactory.

What a hideous dystopia.
Already doing this for years. One more reason to do so for me.

People who are sensitive to heat may need to cool down and 78 deg may not be cool enough.

My wife is particularly sensitive to heat, as in hospitalization is possible if she gets over heated for too long. She very easily triggers heat stroke symptoms. And some days in the summer it's "run the AC full blast" whatever the temperature is set at.

Sometimes that's even when we are down to 73 thermostat temp. Usually not that low but it has happened. 78 is frequently enough, but not always, many factors are involved.

I won't touch this tech with a 10 foot pole. We require full control of the environmental controls.
War Games is old, but it's definitely a worthwhile film to watch. I watched it with my 10yo during lockdown times, and it held up pretty well. It's also a good film to watch to put some of the movies that followed it in perspective. Everyone who made a hacker film after War Games was aware of that movie.
any chance you have open source codebases?
At certain point, training / inference difference will be blur. Is GPT-3's prompt some kind of "learning" or just a different way to poke the model?

For RL, things like domain randomization, particularly, the way to train "teacher-student" network (like in MIT Cheetah running paper), when inference, it recovers physic parameters of the body, does that count as "learning"?

The simulation may not have "banana peel", but for a multi-modality model, it is not hard to imagine it has encountered an object with similar physic parameters before and "other models" in the system, after "fall over", can recover such parameters and won't be tricked again. Does that count as "learning"?

> You talk as if a union is formed, then strikes indefinitely and hurts profits, then the business fails.

The original claim replied to was that profit would decline, not disappear... Talk about a bad take.

> enough labor protections in place.

That's the remainder of the story. Because labour laws have appeared over the decades and centuries, one doesn't have to forego financial stability to save their life like people once had to. Workers now become de facto members of the government union which has already negotiated minimum standards for all. That wasn't always the case.

Those who are in a position to be able to walk away from an income for months at a time may hold on to eek out an ounce more, but it's simply not worth it to low paid workers who rely on a regular paycheque. The cost of losing a home and going hungry greatly outweighs any potential returns.
That's maybe us ners, who google stuff and follow recommendations.

Most people just look at the "trending" stuff in the main playstore window, or search the store with general keywords (eg "menstrual calendar"), and try the first few hits.
Running this kind of stuff is already leg in the door. Next they can decide to scan your device even, if you don't upload anything anywhere. For your safety, of course, you might be in a possession of an objectionable material, like photos of MAGA hats or other extremist paraphernalia.

So this is a big red line. If you want to upload to iCloud, ok, scanning there is a fair game and you can always not upload to iCloud. But your device should be your device, respecting your privacy.
Prepackaged tabs with self-disolving packaging is actually the cheapest if you assign a non-zero amount of money to your own time.

Looks like windy.com is showing short-term trends, perhaps driven by things like “how long since it last rained”, etc. Michigan is showing severe drought, and then you set the date to the 12th and it all clears to normal (there’s rain in the forecast around then.)

It’s a lot different than the long term trends driven by total annual precipitation, snowpack, etc.

Probably cancer from HPV virus, which (at least in Sweden) is vaccinated against in 10 (11? 12?) year-olds, before their sexual debut. HPV is so transmissible and so common that on average, if you have had 2-3 partners, you can kind of count on having HPV.
Newpipe has a pretty specific userbase,... if it was on top of the "trending" apps in play store, there would be a lot more users... since it's not, it's just people like you, me, and a bunch of other nerds using it, while "normal people" just wait through the ads, because they're unaware that alternatives exist.

For us (well, atleast me), getting an apk from github is not a problem, also not clicking three times to update the app... "normal users" usually don't do this, and some even get scared at the scary messages on phones, warning users about "alternative sources" and "play protect" and other stuff.
> I contribute quite a bit to open source as part of my work on Talon

That's good and admirable! It doesn't change the fact that Talon is not open source, which makes it risky for users to come to depend on it.

I'm not trying to change your mind on whether Talon is open source. You can do whatever you want. The only reason I posted the comment was that I landed on your documentation site at first[0] and I mistook it for an open source project, only to find out later that I was mistaken.

You're speaking in generalities that can hardly even be mapped to the situation at hand. What, specifically, are you saying is the correct recourse here? What are you saying would go wrong if Google were prosecuted for intentionally shipping a nonfunctional emergency feature?
Smaller code size was the goal; and BEAM bytecode adds up quick, even compressed. For example, the BEAM files for _just_ Ecto come out to about 1.2M in an uncompressed tarball, but in a gzipped tarball at maximum compression is still 799K. In my experience, about the smallest release for the average application in terms of BEAM bytecode is about 30M (uncompressed), across the standard library, dependencies, and your own code. Virtually none of that can be dead code eliminated, because the BEAM has to treat it all as potentially reachable. Shipping that much to a browser (even compressed) is just not viable.

Your point about instructions remaining hot in the cache might very well be true more often than not, but is highly sensitive to the application in question. The core interpreter opcode impls might all fit in cache at the same time (though I doubt even that with the BEAM due to how many there are), but any call to BIFs/NIFs is likely to cause evictions. It still might do better than natively-compiled code overall in that specific sense, but I would be hesitant to state any generalities about it when considered as a whole with all of the many other factors that play in to overall performance.

In any case, Firefly wasn't about building a faster BEAM, but about bringing BEAM languages to the browser (or really any Wasm host). While targeting standard server/desktop architectures was something we also wanted to support, particularly for writing CLI tools and such, we expect the BEAM will always be the first choice for people deploying to those systems. If we can build something that is faster than the BEAM in some cases due to the tradeoffs we make, that's great, but it isn't an explicit goal.

you know when the whole foursquare started gamification of locations, i did go into it pretty early on but some "time" later i was like "why am i doing this? for achievements?"

same for the whole gamification of your facebook profile which nudges you to give more and more info about yourself... the "connect your accounts" is terrible way of keeping watertight identities.

look. do you remember when "chatroom etiquette" meant not correctly answering a/s/l? because that would be creepy if the stranger found out and nasty things could happen?

i mean its easy to "connect" and tie everything to one identity but then that same identity means you cannot hide. its a tradeoff and one i personally am willing to give.

In the US, discounts applied to taxable items reduce the sales tax. If you're given a credit instead, it's applied after the sales tax. If a store gives you $5 non-refundable credit, they end up paying some sales tax for you. If they give you a $5 coupon, then the whole amount can be applied to a subtotal before tax.

However, the coupon has no accounting value beyond its $0.0001 face value.

I'm sure there are even more oddities and complications a tax accountant can mention that I'm not even aware of.

If someone stole your idea, did you lose something tangible? Also, crimes generally consider cause and effect, including indirect effects if they're foreseeable. Is having to expend time, energy, and perhaps resources to protect the usage of information institutions use to identify you an unexpected side effect? Is it worth nothing?

Pretending the catalyst isn't culpable in the indirect effects of identity theft is every bit as wilfully obtuse as pretending the institutions aren't.
Context and intent matter. Pretending like all cases are equal only enables bullies. Doxxing an innocent person minding their own business because you don't like their race, gender orientation, or sexuality, is entirely different from doxxing someone in retaliation for their bad actions.

Do you really think that doxxing and harassing schoolteachers is the same as doxxing someone who goads others into suicide?

The feature Apple proposed would only apply to files you were uploading to iCloud. Turning off iCloud photos prevented scanning.

The whole point of the Apple system was to enable end to end encryption so Apple couldn’t view your data on their servers. The only way they could get access is when a threshold of CSAM likely files were met. e.g the keys are sharded.

With the Apple approach you have considerably more privacy.
