i pointed out no one in THIS THREAD said anything about “all in on github” and you replied linking to different thread from TWO YEARS AGO. deranged!

who else posts i-told-you-so’s hundreds of times for two years shouting to void? is madness!

>> it is more 'deranged' to believe that GitHub has gotten any more reliable after Microsoft acquired it.

ok? and who in THIS THREAD is saying anything remotely like that?

>> You can continue to use GitHub's services, but don't complain when something from GitHub goes down again

i dont use githubs services, where did i say i do?

i have not conplained about github going down

who are you responding to??!?? comments makes no sense, derangement!!!
You're not really shipping water, you're shipping plastic bottles with marketing labels. Once you think of it like that it makes more sense. Anyone that is buying Fiji water could already have a reusable bottle and drink from the tap.
That's because there's not much more to it.

The Monad tutorial problem is entirely due to academically oriented people attempting to explain monads through category theory etc.
The article produced 4 Happiness Units for me, which for the 1.5 minutes it took me to scan it - while walking on my treadmill - is an above-average investment of my mental effort.
there are gmo crops that rely on less water to grow - they'll use those. agree with your second point, possibly already there.
Soft drinks are usually bottled locally, with local water.
1) The accident of birth is the greatest uncontrolled variable that affects long-term outcome. If you enter the game as the child of wealthy parents in a wealthy society, your chances of 'winning' are probably about 100X higher than if born to poor parents in a poor society. There are a range of other possibilities, of course - poor parents in a wealthy society (more opportunities), wealthy parents in a poor society (more risks), etc. If it's a game, it's hardly a level playing field. Then there's genetics to consider, which nobody really understands that well, though most seem to claim to.

Sure, we're all accidents of birth and it's not a playing field, but that doesn't lead to actionable advice.
The article states they are wanting to use drought resistant strains. I am assuming the drought resistant could be translated as “plants that don’t need a lot of rain”.
Sodas are actually usually bottled somewhere near-ish to you. There are 900 coke bottling plants globally.
Well, there is drought resistant crops. Yes, it is true the crops can't grow without any water at all, but often times drought means less water, and that causes the crops to become more susceptible to disease. So that is one way of making a crop drought resistant, is to make it disease resistant.
there are already crops that grow under less-rain conditions, but sales teams are checking your subscription status right now
> The dataset it was trained on was 2770 images, minus 982 of those used for validation.

I don't think you got that 2770 correct. Might be 9250 images, minus 982 (that one you got right). Then again, the paper is so badly written, I find it difficult to decipher what they did. From section 3.1:

Briefly, NSD provides data acquired from a 7-Tesla fMRI scanner over 30–40 sessions during which each subject viewed three repetitions of 10,000 images. We analyzed data for four of the eight subjects who completed all imaging sessions (subj01, subj02, subj05, and subj07).

We used 27,750 trials from NSD for each subject (2,250 trials out of the total 30,000 trials were not publicly released by NSD). For a subset of those trials (N=2,770 trials), 982 images
were viewed by all four subjects. Those trials were used as the test dataset, while the remaining trials (N=24,980) were used as the training dataset.

True, but foreign business expertise and technology uses goes hand in hand with foreign investment (otherwise, why bother?). So China isn't going to get the former, if they don't make the later easier.

Ease of capital flow is one reason why Singapore has done so well (among many reasons). You can turn Singapore dollars into whatever currency you want, in whatever quantities and move it out of the country with no barriers at all.

Plus the rule of law, which means the government is predictable in its decision making. Singapore isn't going to turn around and nationalize a bunch of foreign industries any time soon, because they realize the second they do, all that foreign capital is going to disappear very quickly.
Unfortunately, it's not possible to bring a bike into a crowded commuter bus and the stretch between home and bus stop can't be efficiently used by bike without commiting several traffic violations. I can, however, do the entire trip by bike (which I often do in summer), using a different route. That takes only slightly longer than the trip via bus.

He was trying to return a package, not shop at the store. You can return Amazon packages at WholeFoods, Kohl’s and the UPS Store using the Amazon website on your phone — app not needed. I do it all the time because I refuse to use their app.
Absolutely yes. They pass all kinds of Turing tests, they're sentient.
You can do “mov rax, [0xFFFF…FF]” or “mov eax, 0x1234…FF” and it each case you have loaded either a 64 bit or 32 bit value into the register (depending which memory mode you’re using). Saying it came from a struct or larger abstract type or has leading 0s does not change the actual hardware and make the register itself 48 bits.
Yes, I said as much, but I also said why can't we meaningfully speculate past it.
It likely came down to the location, the technology, or the price. Was there shrinkage?

Sure, it's either that – or they happen to build a product that is positioned on the right side of an issue that the HN crowd zealously agrees on.
I agree that Toblerone is candy. This also explains why it's hard to find good Swiss or Belgian (e.g. Leonidas) chocolate that matches the 62% sugar content of Toblerone.
> There needs to be something else for people to do instead.

This is trivially the case. We still need people to build housing and fell trees for lumber and grow food. But let's suppose AI could do all that.

Then those things would be available at trivial cost because they require no labor. You could work for one day at minimum wage and cover your food and housing costs for a year.

> Secondly, the lowering of costs only puts money in people's pockets if the very wealthy don't hoard it for themselves.

Hoarding money isn't the root of the problem because money isn't resources, it's just paper or bits. If you print a trillion dollars and give it to Bill Gates to stuff in his nefarious mattress, not that much changes.

The true evil is artificial scarcity. But that's an entirely separate problem which is already happening independent of automation.

Suppose there is plenty of labor available to build new housing but you have a law against building new housing. Then people have neither jobs nor housing and get screwed. The thing screwing them is the law, not the AI.

Well, no, because they're shipping the weight of the water as well.
Infidelity? For me its the ultimate betrayal.
I can understand a drunken one night stand where the person that cheated immediately admitted to doing it. Anything else and you are essentially stealing choice from your partner. They are living a life based on an assumption of loyalty and you are allowing them to do so knowing that its a lie. Its choice theft and betrayal. On top of that, all trust would be dead. I don't want to have to spend my whole life worrying what my wife is doing if she is running an hour late from work or going out with friends.

I am very prone to emotional detachment so could adapt to being alone and be quite happy relatively quickly (probably within days). When my dad died I just flew up to my moms, organized the finances, organized the funeral and handled everything while everyone else mourned. I just moved on. I loved my dad a lot. I just detach. I haven't cried since I was a child. I'm not advocating one way or another for the healthiness of this but its just the way I am and see no need to change. Its allowed me to just trudge through things that should have shaken me up for months or years.

This is not a knock on my wife, she is amazing and I very much prefer her company to that of my own. I very much married up.

If someone does not confess immediately (like within a day) or cheats multiple times (even in the same day) or even worse has a lengthy affair I believe that is one of the worst things you can do to a person short of the obvious things like murder, violence, etc.

For me personally there can be no forgiveness. I'm not the moral police though, everyone is free to forgive as they want. If someone is cheated on and feels that its not a show stopper then that's their choice, I'm not them. This is very much just a personal thing, for which there can be no forgiveness. Divorce and separate lives is the only option. I would of course still co-parent (I would assume 50/50 custody) my kids with them and be civil (similar to how I interact with my kids teachers) but any emotional attachment would die. I would tell the kids why we are divorcing when they are old enough. This may just be a me thing its very easy for me to do the whole "dead to me" thing and just move on.

This is not a moral judgement on anyone else. People are free to forgive, pursue polyamorous relationships or whatever sexual agreements they want with the consent of their partners, etc. They key to all of these is knowing consent. My wife and I both know our rules around infidelity and its one of the pillars of our relationship.

Note: I'm writing very lengthy responses lately, I'm working too many nights and weekends and this is a distraction.
For those who are interested in creative coding and Rust, especially the sound/audio/music related work, you can have a look on Glicol:

Do you happen to have an URL to the parable?

I was confusing it with a man sitting below an olive tree, maybe a variant of the fisher one.
Ah, sorry yes, 3rd person I meant. That is, given a dialog of the form:

Come on, folks. It's a culture thing. If your loop body is 20 lines, fits trivially on a single editor window, and starts with a declaration of a counter named "w" (for "worker", or "width" or whatever obvious thing it's referencing), that's Just Fine. No reasonable reader is going to have trouble with that, and you know it. Decades and decades of extremely maintainable[1] code has been written in that style. Aesthetics are just aesthetics. Write to the style of the project you're maintaining, and just let the argumentation go.

[1] And more to the point: extremely maintained. You're really going to put the code quality of your Java WhateverFactoryListenerRepository class, that will probably be rewritten by some new hire in 2025, down against a Linux kernel file that has been under continuous improvement since 1997? Because of variable names?

Except there will still be 7 stores in NYC and they didn't say theft.
It’s listed as a drop-off location when you’re returning a traditional web order. There’s no warning about it being an innavigable dystopia in the return flow. I had the same experience.
A honeypot is not entrapment. Perhaps you're thinking of a sting operation?

``Entrapment is a practice in which a law enforcement agent or agent of the state induces a person to commit a "crime" that the person would have otherwise been unlikely or unwilling to commit. It "is the conception and planning of an offense by an officer or agent, and the procurement of its commission by one who would not have perpetrated it except for the trickery, persuasion or fraud of the officer or state agent".''

``In law enforcement, a sting operation is a deceptive operation designed to catch a person attempting to commit a crime. A typical sting will have an undercover law enforcement officer, detective, or co-operative member of the public play a role as criminal partner or potential victim and go along with a suspect's actions to gather evidence of the suspect's wrongdoing. Mass media journalists occasionally resort to sting operations to record video and broadcast to expose criminal activity.''
There are a few justifications that allow you to process PII. One of them is to fulfill a contract (e.g. storing the address when a user purchases a product). The same justification is also used to store IPs in logs as you might need this information to debug issues or report illegal activity to authorities.

The same reasoning cannot be applied to analytics as there are no technical or legal requirement to have them and they are rather an optional addon. Moreover, there is also a restriction how long you are allowed to retain logs that have PII in them. You must not store them any longer than required (or anonymize them). I think 7 days is a commonly used limit for this.
Sigh...
Isn't it obvious? The affirmative action wall is about to be breached by the conservative court, for better or for worse. If not by the current two cases brought by SFFA, then it's only a matter of time. The dropping of the SAT is the same reason Princeton et al. pulled out of the USNews rankings: they fully intend to continue AA, and they need to cover as much of their tracks as possible by not requiring people submit incriminating data that can be demanded in court once the policy is declared illegal.
Growing up Subaru had these Outback commercials with a guy that had an Australian accent. The accent plus the Outback name made me believe for my entire childhood that Subaru were Australian cars.
You are correct that for a lot of use-cases, a fixed point format would be better.

However fixed point is, as already noted, fundamentally just integer operations so there's nothing holding you back.

Language support can make it somewhat easier though, like templates in C++ can make arbitrary fixed points ergonomic, or in Delphi which has a "native" currency type which is a 64bit integer with a multiplier of 1000 (four decimal digits).

For arbitrary real-number operations that you find in more general physics and statistics, you need something more though as the scaling factor needed can depend on the input values.
But for something you've always bought, the mundane daily items, you don't really need to check anything, same as with regular vending machines.

Cost. RFIDs have to be manufactured and I think those add up fast. The antenna can be made of etched copper, but with prices as they can be, it might aslo be in aluminum or conductive ink. That many tags on that many products day after day.. I would imagine the commodity prices would deeply impact their use.
You can if the heavy traffic only occurs, e.g., in the center of the city because of ongoing construction. I need to go from A to B. The bus does the trip via C where the traffic jam occurs. By car I can either use route D or E.

We're far away here from the traffic situation in LA or any other real city.
The example code for drawing a circle felt warmly reminiscent of SwiftUI.

This seems promising! The creative coding folks I know mostly use WebGL which is obviously a way, way less user friendly syntax, though the tooling itself is much simpler and available. I’ll also note that the majority of the “best” creative coders I’ve met (biggest online following, largest shows) were not SWEs and generally didn’t code much outside of their preferred creative environment.

All that to say that the other commenters are right, and that what is trivial to us (build and run a rust project) is a multi day affair for the technical non-programmer.

I wonder if the author would consider shipping a desktop app with a preview window, simple text editor, and play button. All the pieces are obviously there, it’s just be a bit of a pain in the ass supporting three platforms and certainly less fun that working on the library itself :)
Ordering from Terasic will get you a board much quicker than waiting for one to show up at a distributor like Digikey given the current supply situation. Shipping times from Terasic also tend to be much quicker than they quote on their site. However, their shipping charges are quite steep, and you might get hit with duties as well.

3dfx is another example of "worse is better" or "slope vs intercept". This article doesn't quite spell it out, but as far as I can tell, 3dfx had one GPU architecture that was tweaked from 1995 till their end. It was much better for a few years than what the competitors put out, but the competitors kept iterating. nVidia created several generations of GPUs in the same time frame. 3dfx started higher but had no slope. Everyone else started much lower, but had a lot of slope (nVidia and ATI in particular). Two of these went ahead and started creating a new "fastest ever GPU" every other year for a quarter century, the other tried putting more of the same GPU on bigger boards and folded.
It's the button in the middle of the graphical arrow buttons. You need to tap it more than once to see your health start to go back up. Similar to other games of the type.
That's great to hear. Thank you very much, both for reporting this, and especially for the crucial note about temperature.

In fact, sampling settings are so important and so easily underestimated that I should just pester you to post your exact settings. If you get a moment, would you mind sharing your temperature, repetition penalty, top-k, and anything else? I'll be experimenting with those today, but having some known working defaults would be wonderful. (You're also the first person I've seen that got excellent outputs from llama; whatever you did, no one else seems to have noticed yet.)

If you're busy or don't feel like it, no worries though. I'm just grateful you gave us some hope that llama might be really good. There were so many tweet chains showing universally awful outputs that I wasn't sure.

EDIT: I added your comments to the top of the README and credited you. Thanks again.

Nobody forced Putin to invade.

However, the US government certainly signed off on pre-war decisions to extend Nato into Ukraine, paying to modernize the Ukrainian military, and Joint military exercises in the Black Sea.

Not being part of these decisions, You and I can only speculate on how they fit into overall US strategy and how the risk-rewards were weighed.

My concern as a US citizen is that the current war in Ukraine seems to be a great benefit for the USA in almost all regards. I am skeptical but would hope this was not a factor in the decisions leading up to the war.
Except if they think there is a significant likelihood they will lose, which would guarantee the downfall of the regime. The Argentinian junta thought the UK would be unable to respond to their invasion of the Falklands (and if they had waited a couple more years, they may well have been right), but I doubt China dismisses the US out of hand, specially after the sobering experience of Russia in Ukraine.
I see significant differences between those. Xi is a dictator in all but name now, that does not hold for the others listed in your comment.
So the analysis was of UA, but they noted that GA4 may not fix the issues:

"We have received several questions about whether, hypothetically speaking, we would move towards a different conclusion with Google Analytics 4. The Norwegian Data Protection Authority has not taken a position on this in the specific case, but as far as we can see, Google Analytics 4 will not necessarily correct those problems we have so far identified."
