So for now client-server interaction would be via forms. So you’d have a form, the user inputs something into the form, then that goes to the server as a query parameter. Then your endpoint would construct the appropriate response to those particular inputs.

For fully client-side interactions, the components are typically bundled with some JavaScript code to make that component interactive. So for example, you can include a datagrid, which has built-in sorting and filtering capabilities by doing page.add_datagrid(df)

I think if you need a lot of client-side dynamic capabilities, then that would be custom JavaScript that you’d either have to write or include a JS library from somewhere.

Anyone who thinks that people (on either side of the political aisle) are not influenced by big-money payouts, does not understand human nature. Corporations would not offer these kinds of payments in the form of 'speaking fees' if they didn't think it would influence decision makers.

Probably not. You'd figure it out pretty quickly the first time you need to go around a corner or change lanes.

FWIW, ever car I've ever owned or driven in the US has left stalk for turn signals and right stalk for wipers. Headlights are often on the left stalk as well, but sometimes a physical on the dash (usually to the left of steering wheel).

Regardless, I have a strong dislike of touchscreen UIs in cars. Fine for the main radio, as long as I have physical controls on the steering wheel. But for open the globe box, or adjust the seat, or changing the wiper speed? GTFO, that's asinine.

As for decision making - like every other field, I think that has more to do with the individual then anything else. Some people are good at it sorta naturally gravitate that way, others have no interest or skill in it. I know I'm much happier as an IC/team lead/etc. Sitting in meetings and paperwork really aren't my thing :-/
Even stripping down Chromium and hard forking will cause significantly more problems than it resolves. Google will always be pushing updates, and filtering which ones to incorporate and which ones to leave out will become a nightmare over time as the ones left out become increasingly more integrated. Plus Google will pull stupid shit like their anti-adblocker push.

Hard forking Netscape worked when there was a much lower floor of behaviors and entrenched, anticompetitive conglomerates.

Whenever I see a politician or regulator arrested for accepting bribes, I think, what an amateur.

Wait for your party to get back in power, do another round in government, rinse and repeat. Even the Presidency and Prime Ministership are just a stage in one’s path towards hedge fund riches.

I can't remember if I learned about BeOS on ZDTV or a magazine or where, but I do remember going in to Best Buy with the intention of buying it as a nascent teenager with a license. My heart broke a little that I couldn't just walk in a store and get it, but I still ordered it and learned a lot about dual booting my parents' Packard Bell thanks to Be. I loved how it was focusing on being a media operating system, with good graphics and audio processing capabilities, and I was a kid who loved music and the radio. If only it had survived.
Graphics. You may not need to have a graphics card in nodes once they are installed. So you may find you can get a single low end card and use that to install each host.

Power and heat. Will you have enough power for the nodes? What is the power trade-off if you get low-end chips vs higher-end chips? Have a look at the Ryzen page on wikipedia to get a feel for power use of each chip. How will you understand how much cooling you need? (more cooling takes more power)

RAM. How much does accuracy matter? Should you use ECC RAM? You can get UDIMMs to work in Ryzen kit, but not with the chips with integrated graphics card (i.e. avoid APU chips if you want ECC). Get Asrock or Asus AM4 motherboards, then get RAM like this - Samsung M393A4K40DB3-CWE. If you go cloud, you may find the hardware has ECC.

IO. Once the grid-of-nodes is in place will you be moving data to functions, or functions to data? How much data are you moving over the network per-job? Might there be IO bottlenecks when you scale up? How detailed a model of IO can you build before you settle on hardware?
Not change it. Optimize.
How is investing in open AI models different from what you just asked for?

Have you run the 65B llama model? It’s shit. The refined 7B model is significantly better. The problem isn’t making a big model and open sourcing it.

Specially, bloom and llama.

Tooling around it and refinement tooling seems like it’s a pretty good investment right now.

Copyright isn't some magical concept that is applied on the whims of a judge. It has very specific conditions of which at least 2 aren't satisfied by model weights (creativity, human authorship).

The DeCSS legal issues have nothing to do with the copyrightability of ai models and stem solely from it circumventing copyright protection.

If you want to restrict models then propose new laws. Don't try to pretend that coycopyright somehow applies here.

Mozilla has a somewhat unique structure in which they have companies fully owned by a foundation. Internally, they refer to them as MoFo (Mozilla Foundation) and MoCo (Mozilla Corporation).

They can't monetize a product as a foundation, but they also can't accept donations as a company. So they came up with this clusterfuck in which a foundation has subsidiaries, but all the profit from them goes back to the foundation. (IANAL, I have no clue how this works.)

I'm guessing this is gonna be another corporation under the foundation, separate from MoCo (which makes Firefox). Therefore, Firefox and others won't be impacted by what happens to this.

I'd go with a rack and rack cases, if you can. There's a reason why the industry uses it.

I find that once you have a bunch of equipment piled up it makes a huge hard to manage mess, and that happens a lot faster than you'd expect. Before finally getting a rack I ended up with with a bunch of hardware caked in dust because it was all lying in such a precarious way that I was afraid to touch anything in there.

> Do you use browser extensions

Yes. In fact, I write browser extensions.

> and if so, do you worry about security?

Yes and no. I don't worry about the security of extensions any more or less than I worry about the security of any native code that I install on my system. Native code is very powerful, and I think that people tend to overestimate the protection of sandboxing and other technological measures.

> They probably wouldn't feature this on the front page of the app store if the app was harvesting data. Right? Somebody has reviewed this, right? Lots of people use it, and it seems fine!

IMO this is the wrong way to think about it. You can't trust the App Store, app review is a joke, and crowdsourced anonymous reviews are a joke too, at best uninformed, at worst fake, fraudulent.

The best way to evaluate software is "old school", as it has always been since before the App Store existed: get your recommendations from friends and family, trusted associates, industry veterans, and professional published tech media reviews. Make sure to investigate and scrutinize the software developer; that's often more important than investigating and scrutinizing the software itself. It's all a matter of trust, and trust needs to be earned.

> even if they're being good citizens now, there's no guarantee they won't sell the extension to some nefarious data-harvesting company later

Well, developers who have a reputation for honesty and principles aren't likely to do this. Moreover (disclaimer: I make upfront paid extensions), I would argue that upfront paid extensions are more trustworthy than free extensions in this respect. It's a common refrain that if you're not the customer, then you're the product. And upfront paid extensions tend to have fewer total users than free extensions, for the obvious reason, which makes paid extensions much less interesting to data harvesters. Anyway, all software can get sold, so again there's nothing special about extensions in this respect. Don't enable auto-update. ;-)

> the NSA hasn't insisted they scoop up data and placed a gag order on them.

This is pure empirically unjustified paranoia. You need to worry about this for your operating system vendors, not for little indie app developers. The NSA doesn't give a crap about the latter. It would be like fishing in a rain puddle.

By the way, if you want to read more software reviews, go with the tech publications who still publish a monthly paid magazine. Sadly, the free online tech media have mostly (though not entirely) abandoned software reviews in favor of publishing corporate PR, rumors, and tweets.
Yes. Don't fall for the propaganda. It is all Big Asteroid!!!
> These studies typically can't be done for ethics reasons today - it wouldn't meet ethics standards to deliberately infect someone with something harmful.

You don't need to deliberately infect people.

Right now hospital air is not being filtered anywhere as far as I Understand.

You could start installing air filters in hospitals and have some other hospitals as a control group.

You closely monitor how much air is filtered, which filters are in use, and leave some hospitals unfiltered.

You might find out that filtering works. Or only certain filters work. Or that filtering spreads disease through air movement.

Or a mix of these, maybe disease x goes down while y goes up.
The people in step 5 have a huge incentive to make it look like the fed is wrong to raise rate because their monopoly money fueled dumpster fire of an industry only "works" when rates are low.

- I use sqlite db

- Preparation step before the restart ensures all the deps are downloaded for the new repo state. I.e. "a build step"

- I use simple nginx in front of the web server itself

- Backups are implemented as a cron job that sends my whole db as an email attachment to myself

- journalctl shows how it restarted so I see it's working

> A state projection concluded that the connector collapse had cost $90 million, based on a $6 million per day economic impact estimate. This includes a $491,000 loss in toll revenue for the Oakland Bay Bridge.

$200,000 per day bonus vs $6M per day economic impact seems like a incentive that was priced very well for the state.

I don’t know of any features that would improve Firefox’s market share to any significant effect. Tbh I haven’t even noticed any feature removals, but that’s just my day to day use cases: I bookmark things, I have multiple windows with tabs open, I install privacy add one and ad blockers, I sometimes open the console and mess around with websites. I don’t think the vast majority of the market even does a portion of what I do, much less any more obscure features. So I’m not inclined to believe that any removals changes Firefox’s market share to any significant effect. They just have no realistic way to monetize a browser. I doubt safari or chrome are money makers either, but they have anticompetitive conglomerates using those browsers as customer lock in and not a core product. Completely different needs there.

This is really nice. I have 1 nitpicky comment on the blog. The font used is jarring for me to read.
Some brokerages break down various types of position (equity, bond, etc). Mine in particular has a "Cash and equivalents" section. Money market accounts go there, but so do treasury funds and such.

I suspect the upvotes are because you're technically correct, treasuries are not literally cash. The downvotes are because grandparent obviously meant that treasuries are considered cash equivalents (whether or not they actually should be, given liquidity concerns).
Interesting. Are you saying for a big project run something to minimize the .go files into just one? Assuming there is just one package.
I can relate to the hiatus situation and "one dislike".

I'm employed right now, for about 1 and half years, but there was a time that I tried to switch path from Web/Mobile developer to full backend developer, and in this attempt I got a job interview for a digital bank; I had everything checked out and expected to continue to step 2, even a friend of mine who works there thought I'd pass the process easily, but to our surprise, I didn't make it to the next step, and when I asked the interviewer for feedback they gave me a bullet list with just one bullet saying that I didn't "explore business logic much"! It didn't make any sense! I found it preposterous and insulting, to say the least.

When I ask for feedback, I want to know what are you looking for and why I wasn't compatible with your position.
Congrats Bob!

If anyone's interested in the history of the early internet, I recently read the book "Where Wizards Stay Up Late" by Katie Hafner and it is a very interesting read about how we went from ARPA to WWW, including a lot of the warts you associate with large scale projects like ARPANet grew into (and the book features Metcalfe quite extensively when talking about Ethernet and ALOHAnet).

Honestly, it's nice to see technology like ethernet, which is both "as simple as it should be but no simpler", and has also stood the test of time get recognized and rewarded!
Ethernet evolved in backward compatible way for more than 30 years. If we would design a new standard from scratch to fit the same use cases we in theory can learn from the experience and improve things but at the same it would be hard to resist a temptation to make it future-proof by adding a lot of things just in case and this new standard likely will be even more wasteful. And having opportunity doesn't mean it will be used. I often see new design make mistakes avoided in older designs because people have limited time to learn and body of knowledge is too large to always successfully learn from the past.

Also hardware is not like software where you can rewrite a site using a JS framework of the day every few years. Compatibility is really important.
Good. I can't wait to boot up Megaman.exe and jack into my oven!
