Tell that to Google fiber who got stonewalled on multiple cities even after they offered to pay for everything, front to back. It’s regulation causing the monopoly.
Your contempt won't do much in the face of an actual majority voicing its disagreement (you know, the majority that Macron did not deserve but got because people feared the extreme right). And your numbers would be wrong unless you chose to ignore the Cor.
Either you don't understand the risks of disregarding the political unrest or you actively want that unrest. Sorry but I'm not keen on having an extreme right president at the next election myself.

JSX has been around for 7 or so years... that's a good amount of time. Over half of your 13 years :)

Do you avoid JSX when using Vue or other libraries that support JSX? Are you invoking the library function directly - React.createElement or vue's equivalent instead?
Solid.js?
It's useless before the model gets instruction and preference tunings. Won't even follow a simple ask, it will just assume it is a list of questions and generate more, or continue with slightly related comments.

FB trained a LLaMA-I (instruction tuned) variant for sports, just to show they can, but I don't think it got released.
FreeCAD is great for the effort they put in. Unfortunately it's still very unpolished even for relatively simple work. You can tell they mean well but it's simply not designed by people who have used better tools regularly.

For those of us that cannot deal with F3D being entirely in the cloud there is Alibre which comes at a reasonable price for CAD software. It's very well designed, buy once own forever, and you get a real professional tool.

I hope FreeCAD one day beats the current offerings. But I found the tool to be unusable. The workflow is just so...bad. If you do find yourself making something usable in FreeCAD and want to upgrade to better tools almost nothing will transfer over. I've used Alibre for several years now and it functions almost exactly like Solidworks with some exceptions. Unfortunately, CAD is a space almost entirely dominated by commercial tools and will likely be for the foreseeable future. There's too many decades of collective experience brought to bear on these tools and it doesn't seem like something a really good software engineer can simply design their way into. You truly do need industry experience.
In fact, our short term memory does seem to be token based which is why people talk about "chunking" if you want to keep more info in your working memory.
When cooking at home, i tried to keep the vegetables as the primary ingredient by weight.

I am quite fond of kichdi, a dish with lentils, rice, vegetables all cooked together.

Chuck in all the vegetables, rice, bengal gram (2:1 rice to lentil) salt, spice and ghee. I just dump a ton of vegetables in the kichdi
It seems strange to use a highly managed deployment environment like Fargate, but then build another deployment tool on top of it to do things in a simpler way.

It feels like EC2 is being reconstructed on a platform meant to hide it.

I think they're worried about it because they honestly do care about existential risk. If you can come up with some more likely existential threats than AI, I'm sure they'll worry about that too.

Usually you just trivially have the model run on cpu or gpu by simply writing .cpu() at specific places, so he's wondering why this isn't the case here.
So they're going to pound the table again instead of doing their homework like last time when they didn't even bother to define the area of monopoly properly? Lawyers don't scream their strategy from the mountaintop before the case if they want to win. Odds are good that this is just performative bullshit slinging.

Thanks mate. I'm in Australia and have seen these products online. Most of of them have good reviews. Could I bother you with a few more questions?

1. Have you replaced the toner yet? Does it accept non-brand toners (like the ones from InkStation?)?

2. Does the printer come with a full toner? As it with 100% capacity or does it only come with 20 to 30% like some of the other brands?

3. Being a colour printer, does it work only with the black toner if don't need colour prints?

Thank you!
How can you ever be sure that your state is valid when you’re putting it on the DOM? Worse yet, only parts of the state is stored there.

I can’t really call this code simple since it had to resort to timing hacks to get its functionality in order. A random 250ms delay and bam, bugs you cannot reliably reproduce

The coins, both the giving of and the expiring, are 100% a Japanese culture thing.

Most japanese residents can tell you near every store will have a points card system where you get 1% back in points. Or 0.5% for the stingy super markets.

What is lesser known is that by law such points, and even digital in-game currency, must expire else be considered money and regulated as such.

I have none of those, my father has none of those, all we had was Whatsapp and Signal, after the SMS drop it is back to Whatsapp and built in SMS app, my mother and wife have some other apps but not that many, wife has only wechat, mother I think only facebook messenger, so one extra app makes a lot difference especially if none of the contacts outside family use it.

Nah, HPMOR just sucks, plain and simple. There was no need for a HP fanfiction in the first place. Also, if you ever ask anyone that reads fanfiction, no one will ever have a positive opinion of HPMOR. There are millions of HP fanfics, and there are many that are much better than HPMOR. My guess is that it was set in the HP universe just so it could be popular.

IMO it was the hyperbole/reality cycle that is common in many politicized issues.

Many, and arguably the vast majority, of political issues are built upon extremes of hyperbole. Support this, or oppose this, or the world will end - or something not far from it. And so when some meaningful change does occur on any such topic, and the hyperbole does not play out, the issue tends to more or less die. The ending of net neutrality was supposed to create something like a borderline unusable internet. In reality once it did end [1] and had more or less no impact, the hyperbole obviously proved unjustified. I feel obligated to cite my statement that it ended since I find many don't even realize the US no longer has any notion of net neutrality.

IMO net neutrality is inherently and obviously desirable. So I think the moral of the story is more to focus on realistic outcomes, consequences, and justifications for issues. Appealing to hyperbole is a great way to emphasize and grow your cause in the short-run, but absolutely destroy it in the long-run. It feels analogous to how MBAs run companies: optimizing for next quarter, in exchange for long-term implosion.

Unlike Stable Diffusion, I don't stumble upon people who actually use it. Are there examples of the output this can generate? What happens once you manage to run the model?
Hopefully not recently…
From the readme: On a Ryzen 7900X, the 7B model is able to infer several words per second, quite a lot better than you'd expect!
I was also about to make a snide remark about teams but at this point it's more tragedy than comedy.
I tested on a decidedly above average CPU, and got several words per second on the 7B model. I'd guess maybe one word per second on a more average one?
It might also have dwindled because there actually has been meaningful and in my eyes good legislation introduced. Both the EU net neutrality proposition and the California one is very similar and very reasonable imo. I might be in minority around here but I am not for hard line net neutrality - which to me is when you don't think any different kinds of nets / qos can exist.

As far as I understand both the laws I referenced earlier makes it possible for an ISP to sell different QoS and innovate on that axis. What the laws forbid is for them to provide that service in a non-competitative way. So they have to offer that option to everyone and in a open way. This to me is the real problem and why net neutrality becomes a necessity in some cases if this is not followed (behaviors like throttling specific sites while boosting own sites for example).
What's best for them might not be best when everyone does the same. Suburbia is not sustainable.
> "reaching a conclusion..." applies to ChatGPT

No, it doesn't. ChatGPT can't "reach conclusions" because it has no model of truth. It can appear to reach conclusions, but that is only because its training corpus includes examples of humans reaching conclusions. ChatGPT cannot reach any conclusions of its own. It can only parrot back what was in its training set.

Granted, it's a very smart parrot. But it's still a parrot.
"Apocalypse cults are always wrong, AI safety is an apocalypse cult, therefore it is (probably) wrong" is an argument which really only betrays the ignorance of the speaker regarding the specifics of the AI doomer argument.

> When Trump pressured EU to ban Huawei 5G equipment, he did it to protect Cisco and other American suppliers

This is true, Huawei have worked hard by leapfrogging on the tech, so whilst the rest of the world was working on 4G, Huawei concentrated on developing 5G.

Leapfrogging is a valid form of business development so it would seem logical to concentrate on the next generation of mobile phone technology as they have done here.

It means they have more patents than any other company.

https://www.huawei.com/tz/news/tz/2022/huawei-keeps-leading-...

"ranked No.1 with a patent family of 6,566"

" By the end of 2021, Huawei held more than 110,000 active patents across over 45,000 patent families"

So just like we see Apple have patents for the curves on their icons which means no one else can have curves on their icons, and other tech companies have their own myriad of patents, the Chinese have fought back against the Anglo-Saxon world and won a battle.

But I'm really surprised to see Germany come out with something like this, I've always considered them to be better than the UK and US especially with Schroders reunification of East Germany, but it looks like the 5Eyes+X (5EX) country's also includes Germany now with this action.

And if businesses get this sort of treatment without evidence, can you imagine what the life of an individual is, who gets these Anglo-Saxon dirty tricks?

Trust me, its not worth living!

The EA people seem to have more than a spurious relationship with polygamy, drugs, orgies and odd-ball ascetic leader figures, doomsday prophecies and psychotic behavior. Taken from the article

" MIRI employee Jessica Taylor had a job that sometimes involved “imagining extreme AI torture scenarios,” as she described it in a post on LessWrong—the worst possible suffering AI might be able to inflict on people. At work, she says, she and a small team of researchers believed “we might make God, but we might mess up and destroy everything.” In 2017 she was hospitalized for three weeks with delusions that she was “intrinsically evil” and “had destroyed significant parts of the world with my demonic powers,”"

This is like what, one bad week away from AI Jonestown? At some point this isn't a community but a cult, and women usually tend to draw the shortest sticks in any cult environemnt with bizarre moneyed, male leader figures.
Sounds like an excellent opportunity to start selling goods and services.
Show HN: Q&A with Simon Sinek – Why is Why so important to you?
Q&A bots are incredible. Most of them connect to a single PDF. I wanted to build chatbots that connect to more than 1 book. So that's what I built.

Here's an example of Simon Sinek.

What questions are you asking?
React very heavily pushes "component lifecycle" events, since it was class based up until now with hooks. That is, changing the state in the view function itself.

It's not wrong, it gives you one kind of separation of concerns: components. But "the view is a function of state" is completely misleading IMO.
>The issue is that the effective altruism crowd are focused exclusively on AI safety.

That's really not true. There's a huge overlap in these groups, but the top EA charities are not shoveling all their money at AI alignment orgs... even if one can argue that they should.

Because naming conventions are important for code reability.

When I look at a piece of code and I see something like "FOOBAR" I can be quite sure that I am looking at some variable in the global namespace. "FooBar" is most likely a class/struct. `foobar` could be a local name or a function.

Sure, these are conventions and don't need to be observed technically, but they are, because they are useful, same as it's useful to name counter variables in loops "i" instead of "localLoopIterationCounterVariable".

Oh and of course there are languages where case actually does matter syntactically, like Golang.

All of that flies out the window in a language that simply ignores case. And it is at this point where I pose the counter-question: What makes ignoring case in a programming language useful?

I believe the current number is $183,500. https://www.federalpay.org/gs/locality/washington-dc

Although if that's still too low, check out DHS. They are finding ways of increasing salaries above that limit. (https://www.usajobs.gov/job/709656500)

Senior Cybersecurity Specialist: $115,400 - $123,700
Staff Cybersecurity Specialist: $140,400 - $150.200
Principal Cybersecurity Specialist: $167,400 - $177,800
Senior Principal Cybersecurity Specialist: $184,700 - $196,000

In some geographic areas, average starting salaries will be higher because of a local cybersecurity labor market supplement (e.g., metro Washington, D.C. +10%).

If I'm parsing that correctly, $196k+10%=$215k as the cap.

As polyglot dev, with love/hate relationship with almost any language worth using, until Rust gets free of "my compiler compiles yours", there is always an attack vector from those devs.

It was like this during the Usenet flamewars on C vs C++, and while I rejoice most C compilers now being written in C++, there are a few domains where C++ failed to take over C.

> The issue is that the effective altruism crowd are focused exclusively on AI safety.

How many EA people do you know?

That seems to get the most clicks, but I usually associate them with things like mosquito bed nets to help prevent malaria, because that's a far more common topic in my experience.

I'm sure you can find particular people who are all about the AI risk stuff that seems pretty wild to me, too.

But when you say "focused exclusively" I feel like you may have mostly seen news articles about wild AI stuff and not the average EA enthusiast who spends their time talking about picking efficient charities.
IMO AI Safety is to AI as HR is to Employees. You can't just learn it out of a book and even then it's a pretty bad experience for everyone involved. The world is not a corporation and the existence of "AI Safety" just guarantees that no "mere mortals" will ever get to touch AI.

You should try SolveSpace or just pirate SOLIDWORKS. Trying to learn CAD with FreeCAD will be an exercise in frustration.

I experienced the same thing trying to learn PCB design with gEDA and Kicad. I gave up and only managed to learn years later when I discovered Designspark PCB.

CAD and PCB design are not complicated at all. But these open source programs (except SolveSpace) have really terrible UX so you really need to already know what you're doing to use them.

> it seems like a meaningless statement

To elaborate, I was using it to qualify my description of astrological truth vs concrete truth; without understanding the houses, and thus the archetypes at ones disposal for a given frame of reference, one can't understand how an incorrect prediction could simultaneously be true.

To give the simplest of examples: Astrologer predicts in 2033 that so and so is going to have a child, based upon Jupiter transiting the 5th house. So and so doesn't have a child, but rather publishes a book that they have been passionately working on. The prediction is concretely false, but if you understand the houses, it is actually true, since the 5th governs children and creative endeavors. One has "given birth" to a book. Roughly speaking, this is the primary mode of astrological prediction. It takes a certain fluidity of mind and some learning to grasp this sort of thing -- that is, archetypal thinking -- and one can't expect skeptics to equip themselves for such a task unless they are already so inclined.

Getting the message to the right container is one bottleneck. Currently this is routed through a couple of hops and includes some polling. This could all be optimized (if we had a direct line to the container) but the same messaging model is used in other contexts and would need architectural changes. Another bottleneck is running `source.pex` itself takes a few seconds to start up because it analyzes user code (and in some cases may do expensive computation.)
But you're right: if `source.pex` as a hello world program, just downloading and running it should be pretty fast - I'd expect around 1s.

> As if SSDs encased in 90% hollow plastic/metal, or USB drives encased in varying amounts of unnecessary plastic are somehow less "wasteful" than floppy disks were.

For floppy-sized pieces of data, a typical SSD will afford you literally several billions of write cycles [0] until the media fails.

In comparison, a floppy disk manufactured in the 00s is going to fail after five write cycles. I can see how one would call that plastic waste.

This claim just killed me: "Apart from [Zig] not having crazy UB like in unsafe Rust". Zig has more UB than even C. Yes, Zig has safety checks you can turn on, but then it's not fast anymore. The claim saying Zig has no UB is like saying C has no UB because you can run it with UB-sanitizers.

Don't get me wrong, it's great to have this directly enabled in "safe" mode like Zig does it. But to use that to say Zig is more safe is extremely misleading.
