By that view you never own land since you’re always on the hook for property tax, which is a kind of rent.

I suppose there are rare cases of allodial title. Nevada used to let you buy an allodial title that couldn't be inherited. It was useful for doing things like getting a second mortgage from a bank that wasn't aware of the law and then immediately defaulting and telling them to get bent because they can't legally foreclose on an allod. Needless to say lobbyists successfully put a stop to that.
How is the actual VRAM requirement calculated (says 175B on mid-range GPU). Do I need a max of one layer in VRAM and any more will just speed up inference?

Yet I still find myself reaching for my legal notepad to scrawl out rough ideas.
Sometimes you end up with a random mishmash of repos, some with the default branch called "master", others with it called "main", and then a handful with something else altogether (e.g. "develop"). Someone pushes for a massive "master=>main" rename – but once you get "master" baked into umpteen dozen ultra-complex CI/CD/testing pipelines, etc, it takes a lot of time to change them all and deal with all the fiddly breakage that results. So people do the rename for brand-new projects, and some of the low-hanging fruit of the existing ones, but the "too obscure" or "too-big-to-deal-with" existing projects get put off indefinitely. And then you are constantly scratching my head trying to remember which one this repo is. Even worse, a few repos someone creates a new "main" branch but keeps an old outdated "master" branch around just to confuse people. Even if your organisation has been so diligent as to finish off the rename everywhere, sooner or later you need to make changes to some open source project you are using which hasn't.

What Git really needs, is some kind of "branch alias" feature. Some config setting like "branch_alias.main=master", and then I could always write "git checkout main", and it would checkout "main" if that exists, and "master" if it didn't (and vice versa). That would solve it in most cases – except for the rarer "we decided to use neither main nor master" and "we made a new main branch but kept an outdated master branch hanging around".

I always bring this up in the hope that it's seen by someone that has deep knowledge on the subject. The Raspberry Pi's USB 2.0 implementation seems to be horribly inefficient. An RTL-SDR uses over 40% of a CPU core on a Pi 4 just doing USB transfers. It's less than 5% on a typical laptop, as well as on other aarch64 SoMs such as Nvidia Xavier. What's going on? Is the peripheral itself just really cheesy? Is the driver not using DMA when it could be?
The article talks about how GraphQL is "flexible" a lot, but I kind of wish they'd spend more words talking about why that matters.

Eg, if you're working on a new product, the odds are very good that your front ends will change pretty rapidly. At the very least, we're way more likely to A/B test application features than we are API schemas, regardless of what methodology or technology our APIs are using.

Because that's why I would pick GraphQL. It's a choice that reduces the barrier to rapid iteration in the clients, but it does add backend and infra work to support it.
So imagine sitting around with your coworkers, and one of your teammates raises his hand and says, "I think we should use this naked picture of a hot white chick as reference imagery."

How does that make you feel? It would sketch me the fuck out.

In all fairness, would I react differently if it was a cute asian dude with a big dick? No, honestly, I would still be sketched out by it, and I like cute asian dudes with big dicks. I just don't feel comfortable indulging my sexual interests in the workplace, and I don't think that's a particularly controversial position. It has nothing to do with 'liberal' or 'tolerant society.'
Yes, esp. monochrome CRTs can be actually too sharp. (E.g., I've a Sharp MZ-80, which I prefer to run with somewhat reduced focus.)

Something I found out lately, on LCD, you really have to model pixel "softness" in the time domain.

See for example here: https://masswerk.at/pet/?prg=back2pet&screen=green&persisten...

(This is a demo by shiru8bit, "Back to the PET", from last year, running in a "hot" demo mode with longer persistence, which is a bit reminiscent of a well known video showing this demo in a dark room with video and audio in overdrive. The problem with this is that persistence is still modelled linearly, instead of sinusoidally as it ought to be, for economic reasons, since it's running in a web browser.)

There's a shortcut to this and other recent demos: https://masswerk.at/pet/?demos

No need to opine. The US DoJ already settled that debate.

To quote Wikipedia: "In 2015, Defense Distributed founder Cody Wilson sued the United States government on free speech grounds and in 2018 the Department of Justice settled, acknowledging Wilson's right to publish instructions for the production of 3D printed firearms." Therefore, the answer to your question is "yes".

So the GQP is full of hypocrites who want to be above the rules and will ruthlessly wield governmental censorship while crying about being censored (private entities not amplifying their voice). As such, they are the party in favor of both censorship and compelled speech.
I don't like GraphQL due to the complexity. It's not JSON or YAML, and requires a lot of custom stuff on both ends.

I'd like something like GraphQL, but built on standard data formats.
I feel like I'm either losing my mind or people are being deliberately obtuse now.

He's not saying they ask you to give a full overview of the way Apple architects their systems, he's saying they ask you to explain how a basic Kubernetes deployment might look, or how you might go about setting up some kind of backup system, or literally any of a million different technical things that you might have knowledge of and interest in.

How could things like this possibly be under NDA? If you weren't able to use any of this knowledge, you would be completely crippled in your work.
I could write a book on this, but just a few:

* your teams will now spend a big portion of their time thinking about GQL primitives and mapping and syntax (oh my) and otherwise caring for and feeding this beast.

* you still haven't solved the underlying problem -- you still have to figure out why your GQL requests are hammering the back-end(s...let's not forget that a lot of this stuff came from poor decision-making re: microservices!), only now it's indirected and harder to optimize.

* ...oops, you forgot to implement all the corner cases of your GQL schema! Go back to 1 and start over.

Say what you will about REST, but the syntax is dead simple, it takes about 15 minutes to learn, and the semantics are crystal clear. Whatever complexity remains is actual complexity in your problem or org structure, and you should probably just fix that instead of trying to find magical tech beans to abstract the problem away.
I'm on board.

While we're at it, let's also restrict the use of the word "content", at least when it's only referring to a single type of media.
I feel like its a useful metric for lots of issues - especially public policy issues. Even if the bank "owns" the home you get the tax breaks for it and behave like someone who has a self-interest of increasing the value of it.
Go to the spot 500 meters north of where the conquistadors are said to have landed, then head east 300 meters to where there is no longer a papaya tree. Then turn left and look for where there used to be a sign for the horse ranch. The tan house (until it was repainted) is 700 meters east of there.

She was championed up until a few years ago as the "Queen of JPEG", and was fairly active in that community.

Rightly so too, it's an image of her, but, more importantly, that image is very difficult to compress efficiently and maintain acceptable quality. There are other images that could have been used, but, an image of her was used, and she enjoyed the celebrity from that until recently.

She is allowed, of course, to change her mind, much as the rest of the world is allowed to consider her past behavior when deciding how they respond to her changing her mind.
Has anyone have experience with One Medical? For example, if you have health insurance through your job, what does it provide that your insurance does not?
Technically, this library is for loading a checkpoint one layer at a time and would work for any model you can load from a state_dict.

To support the inference for the model of your choice, someone should write code that uses zipslicer to instantiate layers of the model while threading activations through active layers - and it will make economic sense if you use this code with large batch size in long-term computation. There is no magic trick yet to compute interactive sampling (think ChatGPT) without fitting the whole model in, at least, RAM+VRAM, better in VRAM.

You could go slightly different route and use this non-interactive mode just one time to compress the weights down to int8, and this can, in turn, make the model runnable on your hardware in interactive mode without layer streaming from disk. Say, your model is 12B params and you have 16G RAM - it can work perfectly well if each weight takes 1 byte, but the weights are distributed in bf16/fp16 and your PC doesn't even support these so it instantiates the weights in fp32 - and you are out of RAM. Zipslicer can help here by allowing you to execute weight compression.

While this "offline execution engine" or "parameter compression engine" is slightly beyond the scope of this library, I can write it as an example or as a separate library, and describe this in a blogpost. For the purpose of making an example I would prefer to work with permissively licensed models such as this one https://huggingface.co/Salesforce/codegen-6B-nl - but someone could easily fork the repo and adapt the code later to whatever model they need.

It would be nice if people proposed desirable features in project's Github issues and I could see which features get votes.
Light gaming seems common, asahi linux streams have have minecraft, tux racer, mario kart, and related. Seems like a fair amount of ML (both inference and training) going on. PyTouch now works with CPU, GPU, and AMX (via metal), and seen some posts on using the neural to achieve a 7x improvement over the GPUs, but not upstreamed yet. One bonus is the GPU (and AMX) can access all memory, not just the 8-16GB that's common on GPUs these days.

I'm not a heavy gamer, but having some 3D is nice. I'd likely buy a 7900 (non-x) or 7800X3D if buying now, but not going to spend $800 and up for current gen GPUs, maybe get a 3060 or 3060 Ti. The Mac Studio is looking pretty promising, hopefully it's refreshed with the M2 CPUs RSN.
It was 8 megabytes, I suspect it was a typo

e: On a tangent, the Nintendo DS homebrew scene did end up with a standard (DLDI) for accessing flashcart storage, including the SD/CF slots on some GBA flashcarts -- so you would not have gotten 8 GB of RAM, but if you paid through the nose, you could potentially have made your DS swap out memory pages to an 8 GB memory card :V
this is an underrated comment.

Any long-term software, really. What you're building will, if it's big enough, essentially be a snapshot of a moment in tech.
Yeah, all three points are basically the same thing - exclusion / lack of inclusion. They could have chosen any photo, and they picked one that specifically depicted a naked white woman, primarily aimed at sexual gratification for straight men.
Socialised healthcare is not a utopian dream and is riddled with problems. However I can’t see how costs of even a fraction of those cited here don’t motivate people to demand change. A heart bypass graft, cancer treatment or a joint replacement every year could be paid for and there would be cash left over (but not in the US obviously).
wild. does anyone know if linear polarization is specific to starlink? youd imagine a circular polarization would make for better reception over all.

the second example in the video may have failed as the directionality/alignment of the LNB and the use of a parabolic dish are typically encouraged for best satellite reception results. a Dish TV or direcTV setup for about $10 at a junkyard might outperform? i dont think these "branded" setups are as discrete or fine tuned as the author suggests.

ive been using PI and RTL/SDR to decode ADS-B for about a year now and i gotta say the temperature issues aside it works a treat. just waiting to see ole muskys jet pop up at some point ;)
I haven't used it a lot but one of the benefits of GraphQL that caught my eye is you get to specify what you want returned. So, for example, instead of 20 product objects (all available properties) you can get 20 products with name and price.

Also, as I understand it, when implemented properly, you can get more complex (?) data back. For example, instead of getting 10 orders, and then 10 more requests for the items for each order, you can make a single request and get both in a single response.

I believe both concepts apply to creates / updates as well.

You seem to be using a definition of "own" that differs from the one everyone else is using.

The bank can't gain or lose money when your home changes in value. It can't enter your home without your permission, change the paint color, or sell your home.

It can do these things if you become unable to pay for your mortgage. Your home is security for them, but you could buy a house with a loan secured by anything else. It's not uncommon for wealthy people to borrow against their stocks and then buy a home "in cash". In that situation, you'd never say "the bank owns their home" just because they owe the bank a bunch of money.
If it was a Linux problem (which is an interesting thing to think about), wouldn't you expect to see the same issues in all the distros? Arch, Alpine, etc seem to have a pretty good system. PKGBUILD in particular I found great.

TuxMath and TuxTyping are FOSS games written with SDL.

Giving your experience with porting Wolfenstein 3D SDL to emscripten, would it be easier to rewrite TuxMath given the exercise XML files or port it to WASM/emscripten (and emscripten-forge)?

Notably, the TuxMath RPM currently segfaults with recent Fedora but the Flatpak (which presumably statically-ships it's own copy of SDL) does work fine. https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.tux4kids.tuxmath https://github.com/tux4kids/tuxmath

If someone can't look at a very cropped picture of a woman without sexualizing her, they need to evaluate how they think about women. That, and that alone, is the problem here.
> This is why you need UBI, universal healthcare, etc. If a worker could say "FUCK YOU" and walk off the job at a moment's notice without risking their family, then safety concerns like this become a non-issue because, IMO, most people want to do the right thing when in comes to safety like this, and even if half your staff is willing to take a payment to kill other people with derailment risks, the other half will happily report them.

I don't buy this argument. What your logic seems to be is that if UBI was in place, then if the worker gets blacklisted or whatever, he can still draw upon UBI to not become homeless, but is that really enough? Suppose you have a middle class lifestyle financed by UBI plus your rail worker job, and you saw something shady happening. Would you really risk getting blacklisted from the industry and thereby downgrading your lifestyle to subsistence level, just so you can blow the whistle?
The graphics are impressive. Specifically, I've never seen someone fold a "bit surface" in half like that. I've also never seen a ladder view. Assuming Andrei Ciobanu himself posted this, how did you come up with those views? Bored on a Friday night?
Would be very curious to hear what someone with some actual investment acumen thinks of this. My layman’s opinion is that I’d rather invest in the chip suppliers and cloud compute providers, who are ultimately going to be the sink for all this cash.
Not that much as you need to pay rent otherwise. With inflation in a dozen years you have more money than renters.

Of course how valuable this is depends on how long you live and a number of other factors.

Thank you for this. I've heard that it's not so much the Vitamin D itself that may be beneficial, but rather the process whereby Vitamin D gets produced that results in the benefits.

The tapestry of cells in our bodies has evolved over millions of years to function in a way that is most favorable to propagating themselves in the context of the environment in which they underwent natural selection. It seems we've removed ourselves from that environment in a lot of ways and then have been trying to compensate for that by micro-managing telemetry that we're able to easily or cheaply observe. However the underlying complexity is far, far beyond what we see as the end result of the cellular processes.
Another counterpoint to this. Rust is a popular language (debatable claim, of course) but it's not high in corporate demand.

As an AI language model, I don't have access to a groff environment to test and validate the macro, but here is an example of a self-replicating groff macro:

.de self-replicate

'\" Self-replicating groff macro

.nop

.de replicated

This is a replicated macro.

..

.rm self-replicate

.rm replicated

.fp

\&.self-replicate

Explanation:

This macro defines a macro called "self-replicate" that, when invoked, defines a new macro called "replicated". The "replicated" macro simply prints the string "This is a replicated macro." The "self-replicate" macro also removes itself and the "replicated" macro using the ".rm" command, to avoid infinite recursion.

Finally, the macro prints itself using the ".fp" command, which expands and prints the macro text. Therefore, when the macro is invoked, it will define a new macro and print itself, effectively replicating itself.
