It's not just a marketing number, its a main indicator of model size and memory usage. Some of what is happening now is trying to see how 'large' the LLMs need to be to function at certain level, for instance it was claimed Llama (65B) had GPT-3 (175B) level performance but at 65B parameters that is a lot less memory usage. It's rough high level indicator of the computational requirements to run the model.
I have a Ricoh color laser printer (mc250fwb) which is absolutely wonderful hardware and toner wise, but the linux drivers are only provided as a self extracting exe-file, and the scanner feed is not supported.

The Android app is the biggest piece of crap imaginable. It can only scan to an app internal folder, and scans can only be moved to dropbox or google docs, not to public folders accessible to other apps on the device. And you have to move them individually, the only bulk operation is delete.

The windows driver is not as terrible, but ... wouldn't rate it better than "meh".

So great hardware, terrible driver situation.
Correct. This PEP makes sense if venvs are easier to work with
Unfortunately we cannot simply play dictator and insist people who don’t like or trust nuclear power must put up with “a Chernobyl next door to every school” (or similar charged rhetoric). The Outback is one of the few places I can imagine just enough people tolerating for it to happen, where there’s also enough infrastructure and capability to keep it running. The fact that Australia also has the largest reserves of nuclear fuel in the world and a significant investment in mining capability certainly doesn’t hurt either.

So that’s kinda where it has to be. Once it’s there, how do you make it affect the rest of the world? The longest HVDC cable in operation is 750km at 1.4GW, and the longest being built is 4 x 3,800km cables at 1.8GW each. The undersea internet cable that connects Australia to America goes through Hawaii and is 14,000km long. And you need to get something like 60GW through to power the western region of the US grid, even assuming big advances it’s still like 12 x 14,000km. Impractical. You need to make it transportable. Batteries don’t have energy density to make it work shipping them en masse, especially since they need a return trip. You know what does have high enough energy density to make it worth transporting? Coal and oil, we already do it. Added benefit: it’s a drop-in replacement for existing power systems, no need to rebuild any power systems anywhere. How can we turn nuclear power into coal and oil? Carbon capture synthesis of hydrocarbons. Another added bonus: fights climate change.

The previous two bonuses synergise immensely well: they take existing ICE engines and coal power plants and make them zero emissions. The drawback of inefficiency sucks, but it’s more than outweighed by all those benefits. I’m not trying to use nuclear as efficiently as possible. I’m trying to find a place for nuclear in the energy economy.
It should use DHT/BitTorrent. Organizations could share magnet links to the official images. OS projects have been doing it for years with ISOs.

Here we have an example of a rather annoying mentality: Chopping off bits of the problem to make the solution complete. In this case, we have people saying that Roman numerals shouldn't exist, so existing screen readers won't have to deal with them. This kind of thinking amazes me every time I see it: Do you really think the world is going to bend to your whim just so you don't have to add a couple features? May you forever have to deal with mailing software that refuses to acknowledge the existence of the street you live on!
S3 works over HTTP, which means that it is designed to work over the internet.

Other protocols you mentioned, including NFS, does not work well over the internet.

Some of them are exclusively designed to work within the same network, or very sensitive to network latency.
It's not about the number of apartments being sampled, it's about the cause and effect happening at a larger scale, not the local scale.

In other words, rents changing in a 500 ft area is due to housing stock changing citywide. Not housing stock changing within 500 ft.

The noise I referred to isn't the noise of statistical measurement, it's that housing stock within 500 ft is mostly random noise when compared to the change in stock citywide.
This is a consequence of computers + internet. 2 ways in particular:

1. Large organisations become unwieldy - computers help track and tame that complexity.

2. Geographically distributed organisations have trouble communicating and can be outcompeted in a region by a company focussing on that region. The internet helps reduce the friction in communication.

Once both of these started getting adopted in the 90s and 00s, big companies became more competitive relative to smaller ones.

The answer to the inflation question traditionally has been to short the US dollar via investing in real estate with loans.
It's a self inflicted problem they've doubled down on, though, and that self inflicted problem is also the reason for their success. If docker hub could be removed in a config, the value add of docker the company is significantly diminished. It's hard to feel sorry for a company who actively pursued lock-in, and didn't make any real attempts at avoiding it (you know what would help? A setting to not use docker hub, or to use a specific repo by default), and who have built an enormous company on a value add that is a monkey's paw, and they've known that all along.

edit: https://github.com/moby/moby/pull/10411 this is the change that would _actually_ solve the problem of docker squatting the root namespace, and they've decided against it because it would make dockerfiles less portable (or really, it would neuter docker.io's home as the default place images live)
That is the old data from the 1980s. That assumes you have heat exchangers with miles and miles of pipe that will fail annoyingly (but not catastrophically) if a pinhole leak causes water to contact sodium.

If you are working at higher temperatures with printed circuit heat exchangers the whole thing is dramatically smaller.

Correct. I wondered how long it would take the do-gooders to start moaning about steam engines/heritage railways and coal use. These quasi-religious zealots need to be put in their place as they are doing more harm than good for the environment. Unnecessarily alienating people doesn't help.

In an ideal world every project had its own registry. Those centralized registries/package managers that are baked into tools are one of the reasons why hijacking namespaces (and typos of them) is even possible and so bad.

Externalizing hosting costs to other parties is very attractive but if you are truly open source you can tell everybody to build the packages themselves from source and provide a script (or in this case a large Dockerfile) for that. No hosting of binary images necessary for small projects.

Especially since a lot of open source projects are not used by other OSS but by large organizations I don't see the need to burden others with the costs for these businesses. Spinning this into "Docker hates Open Source" is absolutely missing the point.

Linux distributions figured out decades ago that universities are willing to help out with decentralized distribution of their binaries. Why shouldn't this work for other essential OSS as well?
Zuckerberg should leave Facebook to work full time on metaverse. Facebook is now playing catch-up with every other big tech company and not pushing the envelope.

The Person of Interest show has this. The hits part, not crypto.
Examples:
(1) One reason SVB did well is it understood startups. If your startup just raised a large round and needed a small loan, you were more than good for the money, but most banks would scoff because your business didn't have a long record of profits.
(2) The "simple" thing of having a no-fee, no-minimum checking account with a convenient ATM you can use without fees is something we can take for granted in larger metro ares; in many places your local regional bank may be your only choice.

If you are storing more than $250K (the standard insurance limit), then you need to distribute your deposits. It is as simple as opening accounts in N/250000 banks, although if you are close to an integer or expect the cash to increase substantially, you might want more than that.

So for individual people, this affects... maybe 5%. It certainly affects small companies, but those are entities that we, as a society, expect to have good financial advisors. (It turns out that many of them do not.)

Every bank and credit union I've ever dealt with has prominently placed the FDIC or NCUA insurance terms on their paperwork, website and physical doors. When you sign up for an account with a brokerage/bank, they are always explicit about what accounts, if any, are protected savings and which are unprotected investment accounts.

Devs are very underpaid, it's just so much value is captured by those at the top that we're all used to fighting for the scraps that happen to fall off the real dinner table.

I really don't understand the argument against Thiel. He might have help cause the bank run ... but he used his own influence in the market to withdraw all of his money. He took matters into his own hands without leveraging government intervention, right? That sounds as libertarian as it gets. What am I missing?
Not sure why those didn’t occur to me, other than that I’ve never used them. Thanks.
I think it's because you "have to" run a command to activate the virtual environment AKA use files that are already in the directory. With NodeJS (or any other platform/language), it's implied that the files in your current directory are the files you want to use for building/execution
Pretty much nobody has enough cash held in a bank account for this to be a concern. People were worried about SVB because it was so overrepresented with accounts of more than the insured limit because it was used by cash-rich technology companies. A normal person, even if they’re rich, probably has most of their net worth in assets (real estate, investments) and is not holding cash.

Just don’t exceed the insured amount in a single bank, and if you do need to have more than $250k in cash… either open a second account at a different bank or donate it.

Most fears would be based on how much AI will end up running.

My own fears:

AI will be used to further complicate dynamic page response to the user ... where it starts to become like asking a person ... if it likes the user fine, if it works out the user was in some field or line of work the response might be modified to accommodate or further muddy the waters ... if it arrived at hating the user, well time to blow some smoke up the user's arse. Some search engines are annoying enough with their clever algorithms to thwart earnest users, so I can imagine such dynamic websites driven by AI going the same path. I'm already a fan of static content sites ... and I imagine in the future people will start returning to them or use a search engines that will list only static page results.

AI will be used to create better and more unique scam sites, rather than current ones that sort of look the same and use nearly the same wording because often english isn't their first language.

Why I'm not that worried:

It's a tool. The day I can submit an old image based old pdf, and have it duplicated into a digital text along with the identical font, possibly images enhanced into colour or finer detail or better shading to fix a photo scanning mess -- I'm be tickled and an avid user.

In regard to programming, AI is limited to the current data available, and that's assuming the given data is correct, not just relying on what the person tasked to document the various dependencies or API that might be used.
You're not wrong, it is almost the default to end up with a high maintenance stack and the (perceived) need to churn out new features.

I've done a few hype driven migrations myself.
But if you set out with the primary goal to reduce the amount of time required to run and maintain a software/SaaS/paas/you name it business you can make huge wins in the time department.

Maybe I'm just lucky with a niche subscription based platform that doesn't need much tuning and perhaps 10 support emails a day. It doesn't return a FAANG salary but does net me €90k with minimal operational costs.

The key is not build that app you don't really need (and indeed requires constant baby sitting to please Apple/Google) not rewrite everything to the latest fad eg Svelte + CockroachDB using edge compute on fly.io.
Containers can be broken out of. They are not a security tool.

However, from a configuration perspective I totally agree. Python ecosystem is broken beyond repair. Just chuck it all in Docker and get back to programming!
A great deal of the problem is the inability to understand basic maths. This whole nonsense about a £2000 a year cap or whatever, rather than something nice and simple like a 35p/kWh electric cap, or a 7p/kWh gas cap, is both a symptom and the cause.

The number of homes that could have improvements in insulation for tiny costs is astounding, but somehow insulating a home is some lefty woke thing.
No way, crypto is a scam and Ponzi scheme! Totally unlike banks getting bailed out with taxpayer money and giving exec bonuses etc.
I am missing something and I can't find a concrete explanation anywhere.

What exactly does this mean as someone who pulls images but doesn't push to docker hub?

Within a month or so are we going to start getting failures trying to pull images or docker hub no longer being updated and needing to start pulling from somewhere else?

Hi, I'm Gert and I have almost 15 years of experience in various technical roles (software engineer, software architect, solution architect, team-lead). I'm passionate about building software with cutting edge technologies.

Professionally, I've been mostly involved in the .NET and Angular/React ecosystems, but in my own time I enjoy playing around with other technologies and programming languages. I'm looking for a new gig and I certainly don't mind learning something new.
> Is there any way for a non sophisticated person to avoid these headaches?

On your own account, once you reach $250k in cash (not pensions or home equity etc) you're basically in the financial 1% and you're sort of expected to be either sophisticated or speak to a "wealth management" firm.

As a business it's more complicated in the intermediate zone before you can hire a Treasury Officer to deal with this, which is basically patio11's argument.

Word of mouth from neighbors and colleagues, mostly. I mostly DIY small things around the house, but when I have a plumbing task I can't or don't have time to do, I've had good luck in calling those plumbers, getting an upfront quote (often, "here's our trip charge and hourly rate, and a toilet repair is going to be less than the one-hour minimum and around $75 in parts")

The reason I do it myself is that $75 in parts is actually $20-30 in parts and I can order parts and then do 45 minutes of plumbing work faster than I could figure out what plumber to call, arrange a time, and then stay home to let them in.
It’s possible for the bank to capture a % of the deposit insurance by taking profit neutral risks. This is achieved by just increasing the risk. For example the profit neutral bet:

0.5: 1
0.5: -1

And the bet is made of 80% deposits 20% capital.

For the bank the profit before paying interest to depositors:

0.5 * 1 - 0.2 * 0.5 = 0.4

The bet is profit neutral but the banks profit comes from increasing the risk of triggering the insurance.

For the insurer the cost is:
0.5 * -1* 0.8 = -0.4

If you want to run a ‘scam’ bank that makes money from looting the FDIC fund then having your capital going to zero sometimes is part of the cost of doing business. This is why it’s important for the insurer to try and control risk and insure there is enough capital so the loot equation does not work.

This. And also Smalltalk is so succinct and has simple syntax, that one can "see the wood for the trees" when dealing with an inherently complex data model. I am unfraid for example of a long multi-pronged inheritance hierarchy of classes in Smalltalk, as its still reasonably easy to see what's going on, and there isn't a huge amount of code, whereas in other languages that'd be a nightmare. Java is notorious for that but actually that'd be bad in Python too
If your compensation is based on salary, you are a worker.
Googlezon (From the short film Epic 2014)
I think that advice was meant for different audiences. If you're a W2 employee who has modest savings, you're in the class of people who can safely choose not to add/remove/change any of your banking relationships. You are who the FDIC was designed to protect. If you're feeling like you must "do something" then open another checking account somewhere and keep a month's expenses there. That redundancy is probably worthwhile in good times and bad.

If you're an owner and you need over 250k to be liquid on daily to weekly timescales, but hiring a three people to manage manage your bank accounts sounds unaffordable, you should find a 3rd party that can do that "cash sweep" thing for you.
> ridiculous US travel visa obtaining issues

Ridiculous? This is pretty common issue for anyone who travels to US. Visa may be denied for whatever reason and tough luck on appeal. I am EU citizen and had similar experience just for visiting Iran on tourist trip. Do not even ask about guys from India, Pakistan or less fortunate countries.

And it got even worse with pandemic. US required vaccination for very long time, long long after it was relevant. Maybe they still do, frankly I do not care to look at this point!

I think biggest WTF here is why international organization like Mozilla is organizing company wide meetup in US, and not in country with liberal visa entry policy such as Mexico!

Presumably because if you are a party to a lawsuit, you generally shouldn't say anything about it without it being cleared by your legal counsel. Their lawyers might have advised them not to say anything publicly, or they might not have the budget to get lawyers to approve public statements.
I don't want to weigh in on this debate in general, but just to clarify terminology: "Gay" is orthogonal to "cis". "Cis" is short for "cisgendered", meaning "not transgendered".

"Cishet" (cisgendered + heterosexual) is used to combine the two axes, which may be what led to the confusion.
