You need to rinse off what you put in if there is a lot of stuff on it, not because it will not be cleaned (it probably will) but because you don't want to have to clean that out of the machine at the end of the night.

What does it mean for the gut barrier to be destroyed? I've worked in such kitchens in the past and there wasn't any material change in how I digest food or how sick I get, so I would suspect it's not as terrible as it sounds.

This is unfortunately a wrong assumption. Electromigration will kill everything with time. Most chips are designed for a finite lifespan, not in the 100s or 1000s of years, but single digits.. Sure, they last a lot longer, but not forever.

However, the article is still a lovely read!

Outside of basic data like figuring out the cast of a movie, practically all of my searches now have "reddit" appended to them.

Medical and health-related queries are particularly screwed. Every top result is practically the same gamified SEO trash with filler content.

I also don't know who told Google to ignore the keywords in my search query and show me a cluttered page that targets "topics" instead of keywords.
While a local sim is always cheaper than something resold, apps like Nomad make buying a 3-5GB esim in the range of $15-25 super easy. It might cost only $2 for that if you were to buy a local sim in-person, but as long as the cost is not absurd then it's worth the convenience of having internet as soon as the plane lands & while going through the airport without having to rely on the wifi.

There's no health anything. Interest rates go up, some of this money goes out of the stock market and into other things. When they come back down, the companies will operate in the same way again. Everyone is just responding to financial incentives, nobody is trying to run anything in a "healthy" way, as if there was a margin which the universe defined as healthy.

I think OP is right to note that this gives more control to operator. Unless telecom regulators make moving around easy, most operators will tie device IMEI to eSIM (calling it security) and make it hard to move.

Also you failed to notice, all the custom ROM world (yes, they do exist to avoid dumping tons of money onto bloatware infested phones) will be left out. The operator in my country providing eSIM needs no root/jailbreak etc.

Buddhism from its very history exists because Prince Siddhartha walked out of his palace and saw people dropping dead like flies out of disease and hunger. Apparently the sheer scale of suffering drove him to quit everything and become the Buddha.

The setup keeps me producing.

I would have got 8k but ... 98" 8k is six figures! O_o
Suppressing China Won't Make America Great Again – Chinese FM Qin Gang
oh no, not again.
It was a peculiarity of the 2G signal. While the frequency of the signal itself was high enough that it did not interfere with speakers, the channel was shared between phones using TDMA, in which the channel is divided in fixed-size slots, and a phone transmits in only one of these slots while remaining silent for the rest of them. It's the envelope of these transmissions (transmit for a while, stay silent for a while, repeat) which caused the interference with the speakers.

According to Wikipedia (if I understood it correctly), the interval between the start of one transmission and the next one is 4.615 ms, or 9.230 ms for half-rate, which corresponds to 217 Hz or 108 Hz (if I did the calculations right), well within audible range.

Newer cellular standards use CDMA or OFDMA instead of TDMA, so they do not have that same low-frequency on-off behavior.
And the mundane reality is that they won't use it for blackmail or in any such personalized fashion (except for government requests). What they will use it for, is training language models. That's the new way of monetizing "user-generated content", especially one you've managed to lock up so it can't be casually scrapped by anyone else.

I was really thinking of being able to grab an eSIM directly for a local network, rather than one of the "global eSIM providers". You'd just grab your eSIM over WiFi when you land rather than seeking out a physical SIM from an airport vendor.

Obviously it's not the reality that these are easily available in all destinations, yet, but should become more so over time.
Every response seems to say that avocados aren't houses. No-one wants to touch the private jets question.

Where did you get the %50 figure from?
I’m not sure what you’re talking about. I know people who traveled for months, and they have half a dozen eSIMs on their phone. When they enter one of those countries, they just toggle the sim to active and it’s good to go. They do this all the while having a USA physical sim as well. This on iPhone btw.
I’m not sure how much of this is actually real suppression and how much of it is just for show. Surely at the highest levels these 2 great powers are comprehensively collaborating in many ways.
> This is a problem for many reasons, security and maintenance among them

How exactly are those problems with Bootstrap 3? Security, in a CSS "framework"?

If it works, it works. You don't have to update everything to the latest version to get some sort of "easy to maintain" badge, things don't change quickly enough for that to make sense. Picking one version and sticking with it is a valid choice for "maintenance" as well as saying "we're gonna be on the latest version within N weeks of release".
You mean you found the person who approaches bold claims with an appropriate amount of skepticism in a world increasingly inundated with hyperbolic or even outright misleading headlines?

>I don't buy it: making discovery faster and more accessible may result in fewer hours spent on discord, but Discord as a whole becomes more valuable.

This could be completely hidden to the Discord devs though. They could very well be slavishly improving various internal metrics. If one of those is time spent in the app, then I could easily see search ending up a lower priority. It doesn't even have to be intentional.
It works fine as a jar file, native-image produces an executable that can run without an external JRE.

I'm still trying to figure out how to embed the native dependency libraries into that executable.

You can build the binary (with the dev version - 23.0.0) and it will run from the target directory (because the dependencies are available in ./resources/languages/llvm/native/lib), but it won't run from anywhere else.

I'm still trying to figure out what's missing from my native-image build command.

But if you're happy with just running it as a (platform dependent) jar, there's no problem.
I find this especially effective for teaching maths, because schools have been trying to de-contextualise and impart the mechanics of algebra for decades. This completely misses the point, because every advance in the history of mathematics has been towards solving some specific and well formulated problem.
> a large philosophical paradigm shift might be needed too

Why? The way to learn a lot of prior knowledge is focused study and good teaching. Philosophy has little to do with it. I agree that it would make sense having more specialized lab workers (which definitely is a trade and should be learned while doing like one) assisting scientists whose education must be broader.

Another thing concerning the philosophy is that the current environment and competition for resources at research institutions rather discourages good scientific practice. E.g., it encourages overselling results while never attempting to reproduce them. This is getting better in my opinion, as e.g. in the open science initiative. However, I find it very hard to agrue that teaching more philosophy of science would do much good here. It's a problem of incentives.

Another question is whether science would actually progress faster (or in some other way better) if the philosophical ideals were followed more closely. I don't see how the situation in bio labs that you describe would benefit from all PhD students having heared three lectures on philosophy of science. The occasions where the philosophy actually informs decisions in the lab are very rare (though sometimes very important) and there seem to be enough people who know these things well enough for their purposes when this knowledge benefits the lab. When leaving academia, few students will have a chance to apply these concepts and most at least know that scientific methodology is a thing and will learn it if actually needed for what they do. Furthermore, most fields have their own somewhat incompatible folklore methodologies that do not easily generalize to unrelated problems.
You keep mentioning “cases like this” as a qualifier. This case isn’t relevant, it’s an inconsequential puzzle game. “This specific instance” is not the point.

I am cusrious what you mean by "LeetCode-style". My understanding is "present a problem, only take the resulting code, judge that".

I did a fair number of coding interviews (for SRE positions) at Google (I don't actually know how many in total, but 25-30 is probably a safe guess) and, yes, it started with a small problem that should be solvable in well under half the interview time. I only used problems that passed my "is this fair to the candidate" screening (look at problem, try to write a working solution, if that takes more than 7 minutes, the problem is not fair).

The value in the interview comes from (a) listening to the candidate narrating their thought process during the coding, (ii) discussing the solution with the candidate, sometimes in terms of complexity, sometimes in terms of correctness, depending on what is on the board, (3) refining the code written (add more functionality, change functionality).

For a language I knew, I tended to overlook small syntactic mistakes (a whiteboard does not have any syntax highlighting) and if there was any questions about library functions, I would give an answer (and note down what I said, so that would be the standard used when judging) and the bulk of the score came from the discussion about the code, not the code itself.

If that matches what you mean by "LeetCode-style interview", that's certainly been in place since at least 2011. If it does not, things may have changed, but at least the aim wit ha coding interview back when I was still at Google was less "get some code judge, on the code" and more "get some code, judge the discussion about the code". It is also entirely possible that interviewing for SWE positions was different frmo hiring for SRE positions.

I think the game changer of this ticket is to replace the second or third family car. The few occasions that you actually needed more than one car you could now just do with public transport without a lot of hassle.

Question is if the 600€/annum is cheap enough for people to opt for this. But at least many companies are looking into giving the 49€ ticket at a discount - and that is actually desired from the state as the state also gives the company a discount if they do so.

Are we at the point that research has become something that should be so effortless that even the tiniest annoyance is considered bad?

> so content creators cram in as much information as possible

> The same 2 minutes of content gets sped up and cut down to 30s

which is exactly the opposite of good information.

A lightning talk it's not information, it's an hint to something that should sparkle your interest, nobody actively search for lightning talks as a form of research.

At school I studied Roman history for ever, it's not like that Roman history is really that complicated (it is vast, it spans a very long time and there are many names and many battles, but still not complex stuff) it's that persistence of knowledge requires time, repetition and going into details.

You can cram Roman history in two paragraphs, but that's not information, that's trivia.

But mostly, good information requires reputation: you can't just take a 2 minute video crammed into 30 seconds chipmunk high pitch voice and call it "information". That's just someone talking about stuff, as far as the use knows, it could be 100% bullshit (and probably is).
I'd say it depends more on the person rather than the technology.

A master in bash will build more reliable API (in bash no less!) than a beginner in Rust, simply because of experience and knowing their way around the tools they're using. Newer/different technologies won't simply solve a problem unless the person has some sort of domain knowledge of said problem.
Nice example. So the photo should be enough to infer the gender, and the person somehow expected that, failing it, was offended. Very nice. Imagine how a blind person must feel, in this social minefield? Thats exactly a problem we have. Given unspecific voices and unusual names, we are left pretty much out in the cold regarding how to address someone. We cant just look at the body or clothing.
Didn't Hillel Wayne write about how he made some software faster? His co-workers first thought it was a waste of time, but when they actually used it they didn't want to go back anymore.

I think, the moral of that story was something like: When you make a software process faster by an order of magnitude, it lends itself for new use-cases.

Ok now we need sound and/or touch. I would also wager we will need to encode some kind of "basic world understanding". The sci-fi nerd in me thinks that this "understanding" model will be where all the interesting stuff arises from. Maybe that will be the diff between the different creators.
It’s interesting how this thread shows how differently people use their dishwasher. From multiple times a day to only in the night and everything in between. So the take away is that dishwashers should not be optimised for a single type of usage!
This is where I wonder how Cyc could fit in.
As I said I really appreciate and respect all of the work you’re doing on whisper.cpp but when it comes to things like wake words and commands I have to think Whisper is just fundamentally the wrong tool for the job. Tiny is a 39m parameter model with fairly poor accuracy and high latency (without GPU) that just about maxes out a Raspberry Pi - all for a few a few very carefully pronounced words under ideal conditions (in this case).

That said, there isn’t much in the open source space (that I’ve found) that’s even remotely competitive with Alexa/Echo so I’m all for any efforts and attention in this area. Perfect is the enemy of good but this thread started off with people wondering if Whisper or anything based on it was close to Alexa/Echo for wake word activated assistant tasks. I think it’s very safe to say it isn’t.

Again, I really appreciate your work on making Whisper more accessible to the masses for local ASR - please don’t take this as criticism for your efforts. If anything I’ve been involved in open source projects and it’s frustrating when people try to jam a square peg in a round hole, only to come back and complain your labor of love didn’t work for them.

If a corporation can do it properly, there is no reason to assume OP cannot. It is a little over the top to insist their house will catch fire just because they added a latch to a dishwasher (on the outside of the shell, which is what contains the water).

"@potus.whitehouse.gov”

This assumes that

- people know that domains are read from right to left, so that they know that president.whitehouse.gov.usofa.com is not a domain in the whitehouse.gov range (this example is bloated, but domain.com vs. $DOMAIN.com.$DOMAIN-social.net is a common pattern for fraud attempts I get)

- people outside the US know it's .gov, not .com (rarely true?)

But, better than nothing I guess.
I am on so Discords, but whenever I come across an Open Source project that uses it as sole form of support/discussion, I move on and look for an alternative.

It is just not useful at all for any kind of documentation/reference, but also for support: if it’s a reasonably popular project and you’re not on the same time zone, you will never be able to see any replies at all.
