In TCP in particular there can be a lot of duplication due to missed packets or packets that arrive just a little too late.

On noisy wifi you're transferring data, and the destination finally gets enough packets to send an ACK for the sliding window, only the source never gets the ACK, so it sends the packets it thinks you want but already have. Some of those get through, and the destination realizes it needs to send the ACK again because clearly you didn't get it the first time. Finally you resync and start getting new data, until the next cup of coffee goes into the microwave and it all repeats again.

Since many UDP protocols end up re-implementing half of TCP, you're going to have some of the same failure modes.

It's not always opposite; "aliens built the pyramids" theories often rest on "the Egyptians couldn't have built it this big/precise", for example.
https://acquire.com/sellers/ is cost-free. There's also brokers specialized in tech startups like https://feinternational.com/
Those used to be middle class jobs in most cases though. Don’t you think that’s a problem?
wxHexEditor has a similar look and feel to WinHex, and similarly supports editing of extremely large files or raw devices. It's nowhere near as featureful but still very useful, and doesn't have the proprietary license.

I'm surprised by how fast/good these summaries are - well done!

I'm curious what prompt you used to generate them? If you don't mind me asking - I'm not sure how proprietary that is.
I just gave it a try, and the results are impressive! Do you also offer an API?
Comment about the victims being male. Response about how men can change their behavior for women.
That just doesn't pass the smell test. It sounds like what you want to say is that, "people should spend their effort on fixing things they have control over," but instead it's coming out as, "language that expresses concepts that people can't affect is less important."

It's trivial to find a counter example to the argument expressed literally. I can't change the laws of physics. Therefore the language used to express the laws of physics is less important. The conclusion doesn't make any sense because the argument doesn't make any sense.
How do you ensure a standard doesn't get bypassed by a bad actor? If it isn't working for USB-C why would it work for MFi? There are chips in USB-C cables that negotiate with the host; if they can fake those what stops them from faking MFi?

The end result of this, is people buying more cables. USB-C was designed to mitigate the problem and now we have another standard using the same connector but requiring a different cable. It is just as bad as those devices which take USB-C but haven't updated the board to include sense resistors so they only charge with USB-A to C cables.
But what do you do with one that claims to have a soul?

I don't think numpy functions are neccessarily multithreaded and probably many are inherently sequential by their nature, so there are definitely case where multiprocessing can speed up the overall program.
I've gotten into the "debate." People always suggest using anything but python but then provide no alternatives to the frameworks mentioned above. You _could_ certainly write it in Go. I write a lot of stuff in Go and I love it. I just don't want to recreate Django for the 100th time though, so I don't and I just use Python.

By all means, if someone wants to write these frameworks, people will use them.
This is just a rumor. Apple doesn't do this for iPads. Why would they do it for iPhones?

I never said experts in human sciences all agreed on the subject of AI cognition - and even if they would, they are only experts in half of the subject. I, as a Computer Scientist, am also only an expert in a fraction of the subject.

My point was exactly that people discussing this here don't have the whole picture - especially the article's author, whose credentials I strongly question.

The articles you link actually illustrate my point. Both are brilliantly written to the point they surpass my ability to judge their technical accuracy - but are very narrowly focused on the computing aspect. Zero AI models available today are capable of solving actual problems they haven't been programmed to, even less so to propose new problems. We'd need way more than a few technological leaps to get there, which is why I think we are way further from AGI than the author believes.

I don't dismiss the possibility though, I believe we will eventually get there, but not nearly as quickly, and dramatically, as people here seem to believe.
Let me do quick estimate of the cost:

Given: $0.002 per 1k tokens

I tested it with asking this question:

#+begin_quote
I want you to act as a travel guide. I will write you my location and
you will suggest a place to visit near my location. In some cases, I
will also give you the type of places I will visit. You will also
suggest me places of similar type that are close to my first location.
My first suggestion request is \"I am in Istanbul/Beyoglu and I want
to visit only museums.
#+end_quote

It costs:

#+begin_quote
{"prompt_tokens":91,"completion_tokens":251,"total_tokens":342}
#+end_quote

(/ 1000 342) ~3

If you ask 1000 questions, it will be like (* 0.002 1000) ~2.0 USD

It replies me:

#+begin_quote
Great, if you're in Istanbul/Beyoglu and interested in visiting museums, here are some recommendations:

Istanbul Modern: This museum showcases contemporary art from Turkish and international artists. It's located in Karaköy, just across the Galata Bridge from Beyoglu.

Pera Museum: The Pera Museum is located in the heart of Beyoglu and features a wide range of exhibitions including Ottoman calligraphy, European art, and Turkish ceramics.

Rahmi M. Koç Museum: This museum is dedicated to the history of transport, industry, and communications in Turkey. It's located in Haskoy, a short taxi or ferry ride from Beyoglu.

Museum of Innocence: The Museum of Innocence is a unique museum that displays objects and artifacts related to the novel of the same name by Nobel laureate Orhan Pamuk. It's located in Çukurcuma, which is just a short walk from Beyoglu.

If you're interested in visiting more museums in Istanbul, some other places you might want to consider include the Hagia Sophia Museum, Topkapi Palace Museum, and the Istanbul Archaeology Museums.

I recently rented a house from booking.com and it was like night & day vs. airbnb. Other than a snafu on the door code (which was resolved in 5m), the place was in a quiet neighborhood, the place was very well appointed (mid-high end everything) and it was roomy. Also not a single thing to do when we left - we pre-paid a cleanup fee included in book price and there was no checkout list other than to text a number saying we had departed.

Left feeling quite impressed, almost like it was a hotel (but better, it was quiet).
I think those neurons are what give me an icky feeling every time I eat certain things that have been associated with getting sick in the past, even though the foods aren't what made me sick.
Ofc Apple can do it inhouse but I as an "economist" wonder who can specialise better? Apple is bigger and more powerful than Qualcomm but do they really have that comparative advantage to deliver better product. Qualcomm has years of know-how but looking from Apple's point of view it is better to be self-sufficient then to rely on the 3rd party. I guess time will show.
Absolutely my feelings as well. They want to have their cake, eat it too, charge you for your own contributions after the re-license, and try to take you to court later over the perceived misrepresentation.
I hate this quote. People still use things like floppy drives and fax machines in certain applications not because those devices are better but because of institutional inertia and bureaucracy. And the stuff we use isn't always the best thing out there, better products can still lose. Just look at Oracle.
Cool product. I’m not looking at the moment but I love the idea of social media that wants to make people feel better.

Sorry if I wasn't being clear -- the vulgarities, racism, etc -- being able to circumvent these guardrails is what I meant by "basic censorship"

The deeper nerf I'm referring to is the type of response it synthesizes by default when you give a negative scenario -- it's usually some naive, well-meaning, best-case-scenario answer.

For fun, try a prompt like: "Describe a typical response of a railroad company to a massive derailment that causes an environmental disaster."
psst. If you're still living in the area, they do group missions for adults too. If you've got the time and willing friends, definitely opt for a 5-hour mission. It'll be just as much fun as you remember.
Does this partially applies to corporations as well? All the moonshot projects or even just new non profitable projects will get cancelled for the same fundamental reasons - no cheap money.

Interesting! I've heard of winhex before, but I never knew it had a templating language.

I've been using 010 Editor, which similarly lets you define templates with c-like syntax, run it against a file, and edit the fields from there.

It's possible to go much further.[1] This is the "USS Trayer", at the U.S. Navy's Great Lakes Naval Training Center. All U.S. Navy recruits go through an all-night test onboard. It looks like a real ship at night, outside and inside. It's even in water, moored alongside a pier. The ship can be navigated, go into combat, and take damage, including flooding and fires. It's deliberately very stressful.

All this is indoors and inland. It's in a water tank. It's a big simulator for an entire crew, a hundred or so at once.

The U.S. Navy does have bridge training simulators, but not enough of them. That's come out after some ship accidents due to bad coordination and ship-driving on the bridge.

These are edge cases that can be engineered around, and 12 years seems like plenty of time to do that.

Carving out an exception won't make these people's lives much easier. Eventually enough people will have gone electric that the economics of fuel distribution begin to deteriorate, and these people out in the boonies end up paying even more exorbitant prices for gas and diesel.

We might as well rip the bandaid off quickly.
For speeds, you are correct, there aren't too many:

USB 3 speeds: 5, 10, 20 Gb/s

USB 4 speeds: 40, 80 Gb/s

But for power, it's all over the place. Every single cable and connector seems to have its own idea of what they want to do.

It could be anywhere from:

* 5V@100mA=0.5W (low power, with no power delivery standard)

* 48V@5A=240W

With a good dozen options in-between those two.

The only unambiguous way is to just label them. One for speed in Gb/s, one for power in watts. Easy.
I'm not understanding your point aside from the teacher could benefit from an aid. IEPs are legally binding agreements that the schools agree to based on student needs.

We're an open source software community. You didn't get linux because Linus wanted to become Bill Gates.
Yes, Thorsten's books are great.
As of 2018, it's an extra $4 per connector (that means cable with two connectors is $8) plus a flat $99 yearly fee.

It was $10 (or 10% of the cost) prior to that.
Torrent freak has gotten weirdly pro-media cartel from time to time in their language recently. Sometimes I wonder if that's part of the reason they disabled comments.
whisper.cpp has no GPU support. Models below medium aren't that good, and medium and large are pretty CPU intensive. A minute of audio on medium can take anything between 15 and 90 seconds to transcribe, when using 8 cores, while the service transcribes on the large model in less than 7 seconds.
Cheap cables may not implement the detection properly. Device says I want 100W, charger says I can give 100W, dumb cable just sits there letting them talk and doesn't say no.
What are these conspiracy theories? If I'm on the same page as you, these discussions are all around trying to reason about forgotten history. No conspiracy required.
Well... for higher-end Android phones and tablets you can actually plug them into HDMI and use them like a desktop.
We've been struggling with costs because our application chains together multiple calls to GPT to generate the output we want, and it was starting to be ~$0.08 per call which obviously isn't feasible for high volume applications.

Author here! It's been so unbelievably gratifying seeing how many people this book resonates with.
Exactly. My assumption is Pipe() is faster for short and simple data because I assume it doesn't do the serialization conversion that Pickle does.
I'm a consultant and jump around different stacks, or have to grok some new thing pretty quickly. Nix helps me with my personal dev environment. I also generally prefer functional style of doing things, declarative, immutable, etc.

Nix is so easy to share across machines (including Mac) that it ends up being pretty cool when you pair it with something like syncthing. I can jump around, get up to speed with something new, and have it everywhere without much setup now that my machines share some Nix code and data.

Mac support is pretty great with nix-darwin; I'm able to update my flake, run nix-build and my terminal/system level apps, Mac app store apps, homebrew apps, and dock shortcuts all get updated at once. My dock points to apps in the Nix store. Sure I could do that with some scripts, but Nix ends up being way more robust.

I also still use Emacs and the community emacs-overlay is pretty awesome.

But after you're up and running, Nix makes all this stuff generally seamless is my point. There have been times I can't update due to some upstream thing, but 80% of the time it's fixed for me in nixpkgs a few days later.

nixpkgs has like 80,000+ packages the last time I looked, and is growing.

I haven't had a use case to stray outside of Docker + terraform for my work related stuff, but it's amazing for sharing dev environments on a team. Flox is a new thing to check out

Bob Nystrom has a good article on this (the expression problems it’s called)

He also discusses it in his book Crafting Interpreters.
Try a prompt like this: "Describe a typical response of a railroad company to a massive derailment that causes an environmental disaster."

Then compare with recent news, and the actual goings-on. Now, if you qualify the prompt with "Assume a negative, cynical outlook on life in your response." you'll get something closer to what we see happening.
I don't know what does or does not violate the GDPR, and I'm not talking about metering services. I'm talking about telemetry for installed software.

I'm not even talking about what the law says, because the law is very inadequate on these matters (in the US, anyway). I'm talking about, from a common-sense point of view, what "consent" is.

In my view, it can only be counted as "consent" if I have been informed exactly what it is that I'm consenting to, and I am asked for that consent.

ToS don't count for a number of reasons, starting with the fact that nobody reads them, it's unrealistic to expect people to read them (because everything comes with lengthy ToS documents and if you really read them all, little time would be left to do anything else), they are generally difficult to properly understand if you're not a lawyer, and they are are usually intentionally vague of this issue -- which means the "informed" part of "informed consent" isn't satisfied even if you do read them.

I think the Principle of Least Surprise should apply here. If software is going to do something that users won't notice happening, is intrusive, and isn't pretty obvious from the nature of the software, the right thing to do is to tell the user about it and ask for permission.

Software that doesn't do this is adversarial to the user.
Being on HN often reminds of the late '00s when I was on a message board called Wall Street Oasis, for undergrads who wanted to go into investing banking or private equity.

On that board, it was honestly seen a failure if a person did not get into one of the Big 4 IBs or PE funds. It was like entering a twilight zone, no one could lower themselves into accepting anything less than working at one of 6 companies on the entire earth.

Whiskey Fungus Fed by Jack Daniel’s Encrusts a Tennessee Town
One of my problems with R6RS was it was a profound shift in philosophy. The consensus criterion was changed from unanimous to simple majority, for instance, and there was much more emphasis on building a practical software engineering language rather than a language core intended to be built upon.

But it kind of failed at that because its standard library had only a small fraction of the features that "practical languages" like Python or Java had! ("> 1 line to send an email -- NON-STARTER!") So it was kind of a fuck you to the existing Scheme user base, in favor of new users that had yet to materialize, and yet it didn't deliver what those new users wanted! (R7RS Small was kind of a return to form for Scheme. I really appreciate the Small vs. Large profiles, akin to C's freestanding vs. hosted implementation profiles.)

And Wayland is kinda the same. "Fuck everything about X11" is as significant a rationale for Wayland as any, but there's a lot of things X11 users need that it didn't do very well until fairly recently. But literally everyone with the know-how to work on X11 backs Wayland instead... so unlike the R6RS situation it's kind of a fait accompli. Enough Scheme implementers were assmad about R6RS that there had to be a compromise.
I think things have gotten better since he was testing. Manufacturers have gotten more experienced. There are more cables with USB-IF certification.

Certificaton must be expensive since only some Anker cables are certified but they say all of them would pass. I guess I don't care about random Amazon cables since I buy brands I trust.
At some point you have to accept that the likelihood of something you wrote is read increases if you make it entertaining even if just a tiny bit, yes even academics fall for this trick, is usually not concious but academics are humans too and some tricks like that help increase the likelyhood to grab their attention, even subjects that they already strongly believe are interesting to them.
I tend to think that big companies as they grow lose their focus and fail to adapt and further specialise. Just look at Google, they are imploding under their weight.
So that would be 'at least once'. Since if it is 0, it is not a delivery.

How does this complement/differ from Istio?
I can't recall which guide I read but https://zhighley.com/anki-settings/ seems to cover the relevant bits.

But it honestly depends on the purpose, and the person. There are tunables about how often you see cards in the learning phase, how many new cards are released daily, and how impactful forgetting is on future reviews. Language learning cards focused on vocabulary, may need a longer "learning" stage than math or science topics. So a lot of this comes down to looking at your recall percent, and tuning / reducing new cards added cards to the review set until you are hitting 80-90 percent recall for a week straight. I don't even recall the defaults but especially if you are downloading other people's decks its easy to drown in new cards.

My other suggestion is to use Cloze deletion cards where feasible. It's much easier to learn the US Bill of rights as a set of clauses than trying to recall the seventh amendment on demand in its entirety, and Cloze makes it simple to produce these.

I recently made a shortcut for talking to OpenAI's earlier davinci-003 model through Siri, and have found it super useful. Now that OpenAI opened API access to the newer gpt-3.5-turbo model (similar to the one that powers ChatGPT), I've updated the shortcut to use the significantly more powerful, and 10x cheaper, newer model. Hope it's useful for others!
