F# fable Elmish is really nice and similar.

I've heard good things about purescript too.

I love using the SAFE stack in F#. You get the Elm architecture, and the same language front and back. You can even have shared code between the two. Fable remoting makes api calls as easy as an async function call. The back end has access to most of the .net eco system.

F# isn't the purist choice but it's a nice pragmatic functional first language.
Does Stripe really have so many spelling errors in their e-mail comms?
I know I'm expressing a minority opinion on this, but I'd much rather have an unregulated system where I was able to send and receive money without any sort of hassle or oversight, even if criminals and people frowned upon by the people who run SWIFT are able to do the same.
As big as 20% of their RSU grant + the bonus they would get at another company would be? If not, not misleading at all.
That's the reason why US is the biggest arms dealer in the world and wars are a boon to its economy.
I stopped using (self-hosted) Wordpress because it became too much of a hassle and worry over security issues. Life is just easier without all of that.

You just made that up. This is untrue, period. It's a lie. Please. Stop. I don't understand why you want to do this or what you think you're achieving by this kind of argument.
And here I was trying to find a way to incorporate a differentiable ALU into the architecture. :)
Hard disagree but with the acknowledgement that it's entirely subjective.

I agree that JBJ doesn't have Jordan's competitiveness (or even Bryant's) but he's a smarter player. The proof to me is that at age 38 (!) he's still arguably a top 10 player. As his body slows down his intelligence is able to compensate. At the end of their careers neither Bryant or Jordan were anywhere near a top 10 player as their athleticism begin to wane.

Another point: Jordan's career assist average was 5.3, LBJ's is 7.3. He is able to make better use of his teammates than Jordan.

Jordan bulldozed and traveled plenty in his day. He also had the advantage of the illegal defense rules (countered somewhat by the revised hand-check rules). It's difficult to compare players from different eras because they grew up learning different skill sets but Jordan would not have lifted the current flawed Lakers as much as James.
Speech can’t hurt you. Speech can threaten to hurt you, which I already stated I’m against. Other instances of censorship are blatant violations of the principle that force is only justified in response to force. Telling someone to drink bleach is not force. You’re trying to bend definitions to be able to make it seem equivalent to forcing someone to drink bleach, despite no force being involved.
there should be a support group. "Show me where OpenSCAD hurt you".

TL;DR a heat pump isn't worth it in Vancouver, BC, for me anyway.

As a counterpoint to what seems to me like extremely high rates for electricity, as of right now in Vancouver, BC, Canada, I recently calculated that a heat pump would cost about ~2.5-3.5 cents per kWh of heat energy vs ~4.5 cents for gas heating at 80% efficiency. Power on average is about $0.10 USD per kWh here and gas is about $10 USD per GJ.

The average house here uses 74.3 GJ of gas per year, or $ 743 USD of gas. We would save 413 $ per year by switching over.

The neighbours next door spent $ 17000 USD to install a multi-zone heat pump, which still doesn't exactly cover every room. It's a Samsung, so by the general sentiment about their appliances here, we'll assume it doesn't last longer than 15 years and needs to be replaced at a cost of 12000 $ USD down the line.

The hot water, low efficiency 80% boiler has lasted 35 years so far. Total cost of maintenance and repairs has been under $1500 USD. We expect it to last another 30 years easily because there is absolutely nothing special, fragile, or expensive in this system. Most of the spare parts can be found by walking down the alley and seeing which neighbour fell for the "replace your heating system" salesman tactics.

If we replaced it with a "high efficiency" condensing type, we would save at most 20% on our gas bill (143 USD a year). The cost to install will be easily $5000. As a reward for doing so, we will have to pay for maintenance every 5 years at $200, and the device will fail and need to be replaced for another $4000 after 15 years. This is a statistical and practical certainty because condensate is corrosive.

For the next 30 years, the old boiler we have will cost 23790 USD in total.

Upgrading to a high efficiency boiler will cost us $28032 USD in total, not including ANY breakdowns

Using a heat pump will cost $38900 USD in total, not including any maintenance, which you ABSOLUTELY need to do otherwise it smells and grows mould. (we do this maintenance ourselves but the design of the unit is ghastly, I curse the designer out loud every time I think of it, and this is a MAJOR pain to do.)

Based on this math, there is absolutely no reason we would ever consider making any of these changes. A plumber tried to suggest something like this and they seemed to agree.

With this said, I have a heat pump in my room, originally installed because I had too many computers and I needed air conditioning. We bought the absolute cheapest unit we could find at 700 USD and it has been wonderful. It has a capillary tube instead of an EXV because it's cheap, but it works "fine" down to -5 and it rarely goes under that here.

The greatest benefit of a heat pump has nothing to do with energy efficiency or savings. The greatest benefit is that every room can have their own heating and cooling controls that respond FAST. I turn it up and down all the time when I feel like it and it's wonderful.
The USA is the only economically significant country that opts out of participating in the Common Reporting Standard (CRS) data exchange. The USA claim that FACTA is enough. This puts the USA in the unique position where it only receives information from other countries through FACTA and its IGAs, without providing any information in return.

Why doesn't it provide information in return? Well, only specific bank accounts are subject to FACTA:

- Accounts of individuals who are not US taxpayers.

- US deposit accounts of individuals and entities that are not US taxpayers to which US income flows.

And certain types are exempted from the data agreement:

- US corporate accounts, even when foreign companies hold these US accounts.

- Investment accounts and custodial accounts (of individuals and entities), even when they are a resident in the FACTA partner country. This is true, as long as the custody account doesn't have income flows into this accounts (eg dividends or interests). Example: A German has a custody account in the USA and holds German shares in it. This data won't be disclosed to Germany. You probably know where this leads to...

If you think you are now in the need for an American corporate account, don't worry, we got you covered! Delaware offers setups without the need to file yearly lists of managers, owners (shareholders), directors, or members.

In case this is not sufficient for you because tax evasion isn't enough, and you are doing some really shady business, don't look further than this weird US arm called “Puerto Rico”. It is common knowledge among wealthy (and fishy) Europeans and Russians to just park your money there. Banks like the Euro Pacific bank allowed you to keep your money safe, and even allowed you to trade stocks electronically through IBKR without any disclosure to anyone. (ok, maybe the EuroPac Bank was too well known for this because they had to close down, but don't worry, there are a bunch of alternatives like facebank).

Combining a PR bank account with a Belize company is also very popular for money laundering. You know, Stripe doesn't allow banana republics, but for whatever reason PR is allowed there.

The setup is to create a company in Belize with a heavenly tax rate of 0% and just laundering through it to your bank account in PR. This is mostly used for companies who straight up do illegal things, but you know, you can sell virtual stuff all day long and it scales infinitely.

My personal opinion is that the USA doesn't want to disclose anything to third parties because they know too well that too much transparency would make them unattractive as the financial centre of the world. While they want to nail down US tax evaders at all costs, they have little motivation to fuck around with the billions of foreign capital in the US by providing too much information/support to foreign tax authorities.
Looks like something like that exists https://langchain.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
Ain’t like 100 of ballon’s were shot down. So it doesn’t apply here
Its definitely not true. They absolutely knew these were up in the air the entire time.
It's more that a good author is building up a story and you're basically pulling the surprises out of context until they reappear later. Those things stick in your head and can disturb the rest of the writing.

There are other ways to grab your attention than pulling something out of its context and interrupting the flow of an article. I don't know, maybe today's audience is so steeped in reality TV that they like the entire show being previews of the rest of the show. But I personally like articles to flow, and that's not limited to fiction.
Should a search engine be allowed to get around the copyright on a novel by letting me search for and retrieve every sentence individually in small chunks?

Also, there is a difference here. A fair use quote from another work is a reference. It's not the thing, it's referring to the thing.

When copilot takes a chunk of code from another work to put into yours, it's using the thing directly, or rather, you are by using it.

It lacks citation which a quote would have, and instead of being a quote to discuss the other work "Dr Foo once said <remarkable genius insight>" copilot is like you writing a novel and simply copying Dr Foo's remarkable genius insight.

The size of the snippet doesn't matter, it's the usage and the lack of citation.

Even a cheap-ass totally doable collective citation like getting all the contributors to agree to have their works included, and then having a big list of all contributors somewhwere, and then each user just needs to say "includes code from copilot collective" They don't even have that, which would be good enough.
Even if you aren't using types in first-party code, you're getting autocomplete and inline docs for all the third-party code, including the standard DOM API's, or NodeJS, or whatever types from your NPM modules. There's value in having that even if you live in a mostly `any`-typed codebase (which is likely more common than anyone's letting on).
Oh wow, I thought it was just me. I used to like Medium several years ago, then due to my work stopped using it, and in the last few months tried to pick it up again. I often found interesting articles, but then every time I wasn’t able to read it because I had to pay. And the issue wasn’t so much paying for it, it was more the way it was presented. I basically got hooked by the title and summary, but then somehow I couldn’t even read the first paragraph of the article... I had to pay to continue reading. This gave me such a bad sentiment that I lost my appetite for the article. If the paying part had been presented or integrated somehow differently, things could have been different I feel.
Virtually all coverage of ChatGPT, including coverage by interested domain experts and educated fans, prefers to assume that ChatGPT is a person you can talk to through your computer, not a text engine.
I could be wrong, but this doesn’t seem accurate. The videos were leaked some time ago, and in 2020 the DOD confirmed that they were legitimate videos from the Navy (https://www.defense.gov/News/Releases/Release/Article/216571...).

As for the other reports/hearings, it seems like it’s driven more by Congress. For example: https://www.dni.gov/files/ODNI/documents/assessments/Prelima...

> This preliminary report is provided by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) in response to the provision in Senate Report 116-233, accompanying the Intelligence Authorization Act (IAA) for Fiscal Year 2021, that the DNI, in consultation with the Secretary of Defense (SECDEF), is to submit an intelligence assessment of the threat posed by unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) and the progress the Department of Defense Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force (UAPTF) has made in understanding this threat.
This type of post is exactly why I think humanity is doomed. Instead of carefully considering the social and societal implications of ChatGPT, people are looking at it like it's a toy or a puzzle. I am afraid that when more powerful AI comes around, the most we'll be able to ask is whether it can parse arithmetic statements, rather than whether it could possibly kill us.
I like that. I hate optimistic UIs that tell me something has happened when it clearly is just on a queue somewhere.
I don’t think that’s new based on the most recent incident. I recall the pentagon saying this has been going on for a few years. But if, by saying new you mean the last decade, that’s fair.
For reference iPhone 6 plus was released in 2014 (iPhone 10 in 2017)
- Google qps is closer to 100k then 320k [1]

That number is wrong. I have a number from googler, not livestats which cannot have google internal data

- Not every query has to run on LLM. Probably only 10% would benefit from it

Agree, i have something different coming up that looks into this more, 10% may be too low. I know i used 100% which isn't right, and explicitly say that

- This means 10,000 queries per second, each needing 5 A100s to run, so 50,000 A100s are sufficient. Cost for that is $500MM, quadruple that to $2B with CPU/RAM/storage/network. That is peanuts for Google.

50k A100s networking ramp cost way more than $2B HW utilization rate

- Latency, not cost, is a bigger issue. This should be addressed soon by H100 and newer chips.

Thats discussed in the subscriber section. It's both, but yes latency is bigger issue. H100 helps but doesn't solve.
I used medium a lot to read Rust articles back in 2020 when Rust's community was smaller and not much of resources available, except of raw code in github. It worked wonderful for my purposes, and the recommendation algorithm worked very well. For six months i would read 5 articles everyday of Rust articles the algorithm sent me. Then after 6 whole months of reading the recommendations the algorithm stopped sending me Rust articles, or repeating ones i had already read. Well i had finished the whole website at that point!

Medium is a good website in opinion for articles about programming, hardware, gadgets etc. Most of the articles are not that great, but they are not bad either. The algorithm works well.

The paywall is necessary for now, but soon a better solution will become popular for paying on the internet. The pay as you go model will become easier and cheaper. Maybe a solution of reading the article and afterwards clicking like/clap transferring a small amount of money, like 0.1 cent will become a viable solution for writers and the service.

That said, i write my articles on lichess. It has the best website design i have ever seen, and it is fast as hell.
That's not quite fair. I don't have any numbers, but i suspect a few developers are using vscode which uses the jdt.ls language server. jdt is basically just a wrapper around the non-ui parts of eclipse. Eclipse lives on, although the IDE itself might not see much use anymore.
I'm sorry that you two have had to weather such an ordeal. You both sound strong and wise. Thank you for sharing.
Maybe not actually launching a missile, but 99% of the pilot job comes before the missile is launched. Going up to fight against other aircraft, doing everything up to actually launching a missile, is a daily thing at any fighter squadron. The great thing about not launching a missile is that you can practice dozens of engagements rather than the one or two oppertunities during a live fire event.
Isn’t it better to let people underestimate us? Especially any potential adversary.

Regardless, liminal warfare will continue to give rise to this kind of scenario so we should try not to outsmart ourselves in a desperate bid to be right
> works best when you have a SQL data store you want to index against, but with the real time index you can treat it more like elastic and other searches

This sounds like a bit of a killer use case but even explicitly searching the documentation I can't find more than tease level information about it. They seem to be hyper focused on just presenting it as a replacement for ElasticSearch.
My Friday source code review of Matthew Dillon's dcron program.
$1M in cash is never clean without a credible narrative attached to it, backed up by a paper trail.

Huh it literally uses real throughput figures

> doesn’t account for ways to make things cheaper over time

It does in the subscriber section and it says it does say that in the free section.

California has had a cash for clunkers type of program off and on for many years. Basically, if you had a car n years old that was still passing smogchecks (ie, still on the road) then the state would offer to buy it off you for $2000 and then crush it. This had the unintended side effect of making it harder for teens to buy their first cars.

Anyway, California already has a pattern of behavior to spend 2 grand to take a polluter off the road. This bill seems to be in the same vein but instead of the car getting crushed, it stays on the road as an EV.
I'm just gonna toss in my two cents and say I fucking hate the endless legions of shitty, low quality "towards data science" articles that clog up any DS related google search. That alone has engendered disdain for medium.
And just to add, the most durable thing that Elm has contributed to the frontend world is TEA, The Elm Architecture, upon which most reactive libraries and frameworks now sit, such as React, Flutter, Vue, Angular etc; UI is a function of State.
Old, popular video in Congress (?) hearing on the value vs. utility of science?
I'm trying to remember the popular video, but I can't find it with the search terms I have in mind. It was a old recording of a man making the point that basic science (and/or academic inquiry) has intrinsic value, which is why we should fund it.
It's talking about large language models and transformers so... yeah? (If you're talking about nanoGPT as a tutorial.)
If the rich aren't buying expensive new cars (e.g. Rolls Royce?), who is? Certainly not the rest of us.

Seems like teaching it to use a calculator (and other handy built-in functions) would be much more efficient than trying to train your way there.

Such things have been tried, apparently, but I would be interesting in reading about how well it works in practice.
These books are probably dated by now but they're a good place to start:

I am doing the same, Mainly I wanted to record where pipes and such are located but might as well record buildings, fences and trees while there. I was not worried about geologic movement but all the global coordinate systems felt very clunky when locally mapping at the centimeter level, I finally settled on having a well defined surveyed reference point, and using meters north and east off that.

Perhaps that would work for you. because while the plate is shifting with respect to the globe, everything on that plate will maintain the same relative position.
If you think you hold the truth, you don’t. If you think your position is unbiased, you’re wrong. We are all flawed and ignorant humans and recognizing it is the first step to enlightenment.
Even with a positive spin on it — the USA has huge shops, personal ability to travel long distances etc — you find plenty of Americans who don't approve. Like in the article.

Cultural things Americans themselves have more agreement over are often more respected abroad: cinema, music, American fast food, American sports, etc.
You are right, but I believe that ads are overall still much worse in their negative effects. It also wouldn’t surprise me if ad tech consumes more energy worldwide in browsers than bitcoin mining does.

Your math is completely wrong dude.

It's 2000ms per token not for the whole query.

Hardware utilization rates and MFU are not the same thing, you forgot the latter.

You are pretending its perfectly parelelized on 1 GPU too. I use 8x GPU box throughput.
It is not just the hybrid vigor. In fact, I would say the main advantage of the F1 hybrids is actually lower phenotypic variance of the crop.

Sure you will have hybrid vigor in an F1, but you can get that vigor with a four-way cross of pure inbred lines too. But the four-way progeny will also be highly variable.

If I were a farmer I too would want the consistent low variance of F1 isogenic progeny. An inbred line optimized for environment X could work. In some (rare) cases engineered inbreds can be even better than F1s but they may not work well out in the real world of environmental flux.
Perhaps the insight is that the average consumer is just reheating fried junk.
Don't forget, QGIS is one of several projects of OSGeo. A significant part of the fundamentals come from GDAL, another OSGeo project, which is very excellent if you ever need to do some command-line processing of or need a library for raster or vector GIS data.

Their licensing isn't perfect - the QGIS installer, for example, more-or-less requires acceptance of a few free-as-in-beer but still proprietary licenses, which are used for some specific raster formats. Still, it's one of the great free software success stories, I think.

It definitely feels like they will eventually displace ESRI. Most shops will probably keep ESRI around for some format conversions or niche tasks. However, the day-to-day desktop GIS is almost exclusively QGIS in the places I've worked, if only because you can throw it on any machine you want to without worrying about licensing.
Scrum masters are overpaid cheerleaders for dysfunctional teams.

Most SM I worked with are people who just changed career, looking for the current easy money that come with the title in big organizations. More experienced scrum masters truly try to improve team members and processes, but at its heart, we should not need this for a team to be functional.
Yes it really was nice. I thought Reason could give Rust a run for its money as something similarly ML-like but without the manual memory management via the borrow checker. But sadly the Reason and OCaml ecosystem is still very much fragmented, there is nothing like what cargo does (entirely, not piece-wise) in the OCaml space.
