> There is a similar house on my street for 1 mil. While I could buy it, I could also live off that 1 mil if it was in liquid investments for the rest of my life. The dividends would pay my rent, expenses and then some.

The option is usually not paying $1M cash for the house or investing $1M cash into a dividend paying investment.

The option is usually paying $200k or less and then a stream of payments for a certain time period, and you could still invest at least some portion of the remaining $800k since the mortgage debt cannot be called by the lender so you do not have to worry about unexpected increases in mortgage payments.

This is the actual problem.

A well executed AR "headset" has the potential to replace all consumer devices except high end desktop. I wonder if that scares manufacturers.
This is basically the current "holy war" among some audiophiles. There's measurement-intensive approaches likes audiosciencereview and then there's the more subjective things like "soundstage" and "depth" and "clarity".

That's why it's so fun, though. Audio reproduction can be measured objectively but the experience of listening to something can only be measured subjectively. Ultimately, if the $5k D-Link router sounds better to someone, who am I to argue?

I have a mid-fi setup by audiophile standards, but it's still more of an investment than most people I know have made. When asked for advice, I tell people to focus on what sounds good to them. If it sounds good, then it _is_ good, assuming one isn't buying something to impress others.

Also, if they ask nicely, I'll give them a discount on my optimized-for-their-CPU-architecture, hand-coded, machine language version of malloc, free, and memcpy.
Well, you seem like a thoroughly pleasant ~human~ being to be around.

I ran across this documentation the other day and noticed that it uses web assembly to provide examples which can be edited and run in browser. This is super useful because you don't need to go through the Python installation hell to get a sense of how the library works.

Why don't more frameworks document things this way?
I started my career at the Red Cross, so I don't tend to question their value. But no one is pulling down a salary that comes close to matching their potential there.
I also feel the VR enthusiast community rarely has an honest conversation about the size and scale of the nausea problem. I'm not sure its just a case of throw ever increasing fidelity at the picture and audio etc - I think its the fundamental issue of walking motion being perceived by eyes, but inner ear balance indicate you are stationary. Even at 600fps and 20k of resolution per eye this disconnect between visually perceived motion and actual motion is still going to exist.

AR obviously doesn't have these issues and I think will one day be great, but VR could have this problem for decades.

If that's true those people have been maintaining a joke for literal years, and spending substantial amounts of time producing software. Do you expect them at the end of their lives to crack a smile and say "ha! got you!"?

If you want a really clean output on a DAC, I recall you needing a very clean power supply, with $10-100 resistors and capacitors. If you were looking for a cost driver, you may have missed it.

And if they do, then that's the right time to begin claiming that 100% of deposits are FDIC insured. That time is not now.
You certainly aren't alone! I find 128kbps unlistenable but I A/B tested 320 vs lossless and - nope, couldn't tell the difference, even trying hard to do so.

I consider myself an enthusiast/hobbyist, not an audiophile, and hold a pretty high level of scepticism about the truly devoted tbh.

That said I've never had the pleasure of listening to anything north of around the £10k mark, so I would love to be convinced of a genuine move-the-dial listening benefit of the really high end gear!
Same reason why you can be a scientist and like Trump. Or be a nurse and be anti-vax. Or be a teacher who hates kids. The world is full of fakes and irrational people.
SVB shares are worth $0 because there was a run on the bank and the US Government did not step in to save the bank, only the depositors.

If the same thing happens to other banks - everyone withdraws, they shut down and the government steps in - the assumption is that their equity will eventually be worth $0 too. So, everyone sells at >$0.

It's not going to be all banks, though.
Those people are probably not a significant portion of the tax revenue, so that argument cuts both ways.

I had zero dollars in SVB, and I would probably be less affected than the average person if there was a full on banking collapse.

I'm still not stupid or capricious enough to oppose this 'bailout' though.
> On a mark to market basis ALL banks are undercapitalized. What do you think the banks did in the last several years besides buy bonds at 1.5%?

Source? A report by JP Morgan contradicts your claim

I don't think you're alone at all (I'm in that range, for one) I just think people liking good audio without spending a ton doesn't grab a lot of attention.
There are decent articles on headphones in the $60-300 range, mobile DACs that don't break the bank, etc, that I think show that our contingent is alive and well.
It would be interesting to map out what kind of industries and startups require a load balancing and multiple production servers for the first few years of setting up. A single 32/64/128/256 core server is pretty decent for most work loads, and anycast services are decent in terms of static content delivery.

Was there a specific kind of startup that you had in mind for this?
That kernel compile time is pretty respectable. On the top-of-the-line Intel desktop CPU the allmodconfig build takes 11 minutes, twice as fast but drawing 5x the power.
I like the breakdown and agree with your general line of reasoning.

I’m confuse though why you don’t just say refactor. This just reads like you redefined “refactor” to be adding layers and “defactor” to removing layers.

Textbook refactoring, changing a program internally without changing it external. It’s up to the refactorer to choose what to apply.

Applying a refactor is not only adding FactorBeanProxies. It can, and must be, used to remove parts as often as adding them.

You might be interested in this thread from 2019 here on HN as well, I linked to a line of work on constrained sequence generation from Sony CSL that is pretty nifty https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21334639

As an aside - do you have any academic references for masking / constraining based next step transitions? It's a trick I've been messing with for years, but I probably picked this up from some older poetry generation work. Haven't been able to find any direct reference for simple 1 step masking, let alone more involved things like constraining based on the unrolled, modified markov sequence or things bigger than 1 step.

I am pretty sure I found your account on our side - sent you an email from the system in case I can help.

The Ansible playbooks are held inside a system called Semaphore for each customer's deployment. Playbooks are specific to the servers selected. Configurations for a cluster made up of 3 X single CPU box with 128GB of RAM with a single worker drive vs 3X a dual CPU box, 1TB RAM, and 4 worker drives. We copy it to the servers for now as we are still working on making Semaphore accessible from the Central interface.

For the root@ - thanks! Will pass that to the dev team - I found some with it and some without it, makes sense to have it on all since it is root keys.
> How can audiophiles continue to exist with knowledge being so easily available?

People need to feel superior. So they choose a subjective field and claim to be objectively correct. Audiophiles are a relatively harmless version of this; other sorts of "truther" become actively dangerous.
I don't like that title. I perceive Tim Cook has a CEO caring a lot for Apple and not as someone obsessed with "securing his legacy".
My impression has been that emacs itself does fine with multiple processes. As seen by the compilation buffer being fine. So, if you setup a sentinel and do the process buffer technique, things can be done. Most people lament the lack of threads, though. More, I think most people do not want to build the necessary stuff for a process buffer to help.

Happy to know where I'm mistaken there. And I've certainly seen places where a blocking call can be annoying. Usually creeps up into a place that was fine at first. Org mode source execution is a good one. For the vast majority of stuff I do in those, I'm fine that it blocks while it gives me the results. Then I'll kick off one block that I should have added the async flag to, but just didn't.
If you don't want your food to be driven to you, then live in a city. This is what I do, I haven't used my car when grocery shopping for years. If you choose to live in a suburb or rural area, then a car lifestyle is something you've chosen for yourself.

> Employees pack what looks like dozens of orders at the same time and drive them to the neigborhoods.

This isn't the way it was done with the service I describe. There generally would not be enough demand so most orders would be 1-to-1, no more efficient than somebody driving to the store themself.
Sadly, I did notice only after I couldn't edit anymore.
XMPP is a better example. XMPP is decentralized IM, and was gaining some popularity amongst techies (e.g.: people like those reading this website) about 10-15 years ago. It's well documented, an actual standard, and plenty of extensions for extra functionality. Video calls worked okay around 2010/2011.

Google Talk federated to XMPP, and it worked well for quite some time. I had my own XMPP server but could talk to people who were using Google Talk, just like I could email people from my email server to their gmail account. It was wonderful! I had some friends on legacy networks like MSN and they shifted to Google Talk which I found great.

My enthusiasm for their migration turns out to be very naive.

Google one day said they'd de-federate Google Talk. People on GT could talk to people on GT, everyone else could screw themselves. My roster shrunk from "most people I talk to" to "two or three people I rarely every talk with".

I didn't continue XMPP much after that, though it's still a thing and continues evolving pretty well. My interest has re-sparked this year since I'm looking into using is as a gateway for other crap networks where friends insist on staying.

It's not hard to imagine Facebook (ehem, "Meta") federating with Mastodon and giving out a lot of "oh, they're actually not that bad" vibe. Many would come to use Mastodon but rely on Meta's federation. Until they decide it's time for Masto to die, just like Google decided it was time for XMPP to collapse.
This is just what PMQs are. It's part of the system and not any parliament member specifically.

I definitely stir my espresso grounds after grinding for this reason, but the symptom of not doing so is very evident in how long it takes to pull the volume of the shot I'm making. A distribution tool may help do it faster, but I'm not at the point where I'm willing to invest in more than the toothpick I currently use.

You can't, it needs around 40GB of RAM.

Technically you can by swapping to disk but it would be too slow to be usable.

What you can do however is use the 7B model with 4bit quantization and use it within 8GB RAM.
EdgeDB seems very promising. What I wonder is does it run on top of Postgres only? Since the main innovation is a better query-language (than SQL) wouldn't it be great if it could be used on top of any database-engine?

I could probably distribute the coffee by simply shaking and tapping the portafilter on the counter, but stirring it makes it more even and I'm less likely to make a mess that way.
I'm sorry to hear discomfort keeps you from using VR. I'm curious how you concluded this? In my experience it's unfortunately all too common for people to try low end products like Google Cardboard and write off spatial mediums like AR/VR altogether, when a high end headset like a Varjo XR3 is such a dramatically different (better) experience.
I wouldn’t say a company that has said “this isn’t it, this is an enthusiast device that’s a stepping stone to a consumer ready product” has made a flop. The index was exactly what it was supposed to be, a step in the right direction.

This is a good salad of truth, but I think it misses the point. VR is not going to happen for a long time, but this high status product is mostly about demonstrating the possibilities of AR, which is happening all around us with existing technologies. Apple has concluded that it will be worth it to demonstrate how information superiority and affordance will work in a $3k headset before the lightweight glasses become feasible. The applications for this product (sports, research, conferencing, gaming, etc) won't depend on real world interaction.
I like this a lot, what exactly are your plans with this project? I'd love to be able to embed this in my blogs, but I worry you might not get enough traction and the project might die one day. Sorry for being so pessimistic, I did apply for the Pro version.
I'm pretty sure he's talking about Weiss Distribution Technique/Weiss Distribution Tools (WDT).
Really clean meaning what exactly? at what price point would a DAC be indistinguishable in a blind A/B test to a $10,000 one? I'm not trying to be pedantic I just think it's important to ask these questions.
There was absolutely zero announcement yesterday that 100% of all deposits in all banks are guaranteed by FDIC. There was a commitment to cover 100% of SVB and Signature Bank deposits under the systemic risk exception. You can take issue with this, or suggest that they will offer protection for 100% of deposits in the future, and that's fine. I'm not going to argue that point, since I don't know what will happen next.

But to say that the FDIC came out and announced 100% protection of all deposits is no more true today than it was when banks were bailed out in the '08 crisis, and there have been many, many examples of depositors losing money since those bailouts happened.
"Most community banks aren't in a similar situation though. This is mostly caused by panic, not reality."
Nothing prevents panic from overriding reality at other banks.

Main thing was support for ligatures which Alacritty does not support: https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty/issues/50
If products like this become widespread isn't it equivalent to 'tricking' FDIC into covering a higher % of your deposits? It appears this is more or less a service that takes your money and opens a lot of smaller accounts spread throughout all the different banks. Imagine that everyone did this. Now in the event of a medium scale bank default FDIC needs to cover not only the first 250k of a lot of people's money, but some multiple of that depending on how many banks that customer also had money in.

Doesn't this stress FDIC insurance as a system?

It seems to me it's counter to the intention of FDIC insurance in the first place (keep the small guy's money safe, assume the rich guy has plans to keep himself safe)
Agreed. Maybe I’m too focused on ML, but my first thought was the vector db. Cool idea though. Personally I use flask/quart to write the backend in Python but still end up writing a lot of JavaScript so this could be fun to use for prototyping quickly. I’ll have to play with it to see how it handles the client stuff like canvas drawing, or any of the client/server comms needed like using websockets.
Bastardizing terms works really well to destroy an idea. If enough crap is thrown over the wall with the label "descentralized" then eventually eventually, the word "descentralized" brings this crap to mind.

When someone comes around talking about REAL descentralization, they'll be shun off for asking more of that crap.

You know this framing is BS because they'd all scream bloody murder if monetizing that content were outlawed. It's not about pride in their children, it's about monetizing their children. Of course it's no surprise that somebody psychopathic enough to do this to their kids would also be comfortable lying about their motivation.

I think the bug factor was Facebook. There were places making money selling ads in feeds but they weren’t making within an order of magnitude what Facebook promised. Google+ was a botched reaction to that but I do wonder what Google could have done embracing the open web instead and actually trying to monetize Reader or provide top-notch feed ads. It might not have made Facebook-level rates but it also wouldn’t have soured a generation on their business.
