A standalone executable doesn't remain a standalone executable for very long, though.

You need something to handle its lifecycle and restart it when it dies. You need something to handle logging. You need something to jail it and prevent it from owning your system when it has a bug. You need something to pass it database credentials. You need something to put a cpu/mem limit on it. Not to mention that most executables aren't standalone but depend on system libraries.

A lot of that can be handled by systemd these days. But now you have a single standalone executable, its mandatory companion config files, and all its dependencies. Docker was designed to create a platform where the only dependency is Docker itself, and it does that job reasonably well.

Been waiting for this since Tron was released.
Explosives are relatively easy to make at home for technically minded attackers. Sarin and VX require much more difficult-to-obtain chemicals, or several more difficult synthetic stages, and are much easier to accidentally kill yourself with. The only criminal group I'm aware of that actually made their own nerve gas was the Aum Shinrikyo group:

So instead of:

light: <-321-- :Wall

it is:

?
It's actually worked out fine so far.

Oh yeah, it's definitely annoying, but I would say generally less likely to be annoying to try buying from a new business than to continue dealing with one that has already treated you badly.
The "snowpocalypse" does not refer to disruptive snowfall that interrupted local transportation. It refers to the impact on power generation that caused blackouts that extended for ~5+ days and killed hundreds [1,2].

There are some similarities, but also some differences. Flower's take is that it wants to support the entire FL workflow from experimental research to large-scale production deployments and operation. Some other FL frameworks fall either in the "research" or "production deployment" bucket, but few have good support for both.

Flower does a lot under the hood to support these different usage scenarios: it has both a networked engine (gRPC, experimental support for REST, and the possibility to "bring your own communication stack") and a simulation engine to support both real deployment on edge devices/server and simulation of large-scale federations on single machines or compute clusters.

This is - to the best of our knowledge - one of the drivers of our large and active community. The community is very collaborative and there are many downstream projects in the ecosystem that build on top of Flower (GitHub lists 748 dependent projects: https://github.com/adap/flower/network/dependents).
It gets a lot worse than that, especially in Texas.

Literally every programming advancement from punch cards to now has made you need less people to do the same amount of work but we have more programmers working today than ever before.

My problem - and that of many - with buying furniture is that of _precarity_.

If I knew I would be living in the same apartment or house for the rest of my life, or at least several decades - I would take the time and spend the money to get high-quality, long-lasting items. But - I don't own a home; tenants have close to zero rights in most places I've lived; my job isn't stable either - I might get fired or the business might go south, forcing me to move for another reason. So even the _time_ investment, ignoring the money, often doesn't make sense. If I could be sure the next tenant, or the landlord, would buy decent furniture off my hands at a decent price, I might still do it - but often you can sell your second-hand items even at a fraction of their cost, and have to just give it away.

So, even though I hate the IKEA-style rickety woodchip/papier-mache furniture, I've ended up buying more than a bit of it for some of the 6 rental apartments I've lived in over the past decade or so. Of course I try to keep existing furniture when I move in, if it's not too sorry of a sight; and I opt for better quality second-hand over crappy first-hand. But that means it's hella difficult to get materials and colors to match.

Indeedian here, thankful to not have been in the 2200.

Was a bit chaotic this morning, it doesn't seem like there was any clear pattern to who got layed off. Managers were given no advance notice for this either, know our manager was trying this morning to figure out over Slack who was affected by asking everyone.
Depends on the supply of labor for those manual jobs. Jobs that require skill and/or have low quality of life at work such as requiring traveling/crawl spaces/outdoors/sewers/dangerous machinery/hazardous materials will probably pay well.

Manual jobs that are relatively safe, close to home, steady, and easy to learn will probably have a lot of people vying for them, hence lower pay.
Doesn't America have Ikea shops? I mean… you get what you pay for, and it's durable enough…
That's true. I'm not sure what you mean though; whether one makes the inner div display: none or visibility: hidden, it doesn't appear to make a difference to the values of innerText vs. textContent
Yeah but the point isn't that all engineers will go away, but there will be a much lower need for them at scale. Who is going to have use for a bunch of junior/mid level engineers when the job becomes purely specification writing and verification? 1 senior engineer who also plays double duty as project manager will be able to replace a team that had been like 8 people before. We aren't going to all of a sudden have 8x more projects to work on, we are going to have 8x fewer engineers. And companies will LOVE this because it will become a rat race down to the bottom salary wise as people get desperate for any job at all
Washington is shunning remote work, and we’re all losing
What is the alternative you're suggesting. I'm saying that it is inevitable in life that when dealing with businesses, you'll end up in bad situations. It sucks, but the point is that you have relatively straightforward recourse, which is good. I encourage you to try to improve the whole system, but I don't know how to do that, so I'll use the tools I have.
I think the confusion comes from the fact that you can set it. If it's "rendered result", then everyone, for a sane API design, should assume it's read-only, right?
Probably because the algorithm is really slow and you’re already producing a really small image so scaling your original image down before isn’t too much work

Blurhash is really slow on larger images but quick with small <500x500 images
There are many things a robot with "IQ" 85 cannot do that a human with "the same" IQ can: childcare / elder care, social work, basically anything that requires garnering trust and a lot of social interaction, but not necessarily complex skills. There will probably be more jobs like this in the future. Even now, people pay extra for handmade items when the technology to mass-produce the same thing for cheaper has been around for decades, so even if a robot can do your job, that doesn't necessarily make your skills worthless.
I got to meet Ed Yourdon several years ago (he came to interview me, amazingly). No one else at the company knew who he was.
Thank you. And... as a note. The following statement has been down-modded in the past (this is truly an "uncomfortable truth"): If we go with no-CO2/no fossil fuel policy, we will reduce farming production, leading to famine and the likely death of (many) people. Of interest is that solar, wind, geothermal and nuclear cannot help.
Unlike b64-encoding, b83-encoding is nontrivial in CPU time (it's not just a shift-register + LUT), so you don't want to be doing it at runtime; you want to pre-bake base83 text versions of your previews, and then store them that way, as encoded text. Which means that BlurHash does that on the encode side, but more importantly, also expects that on the decode side. AFAIK none of the BlurHash decode implementations accept a raw binary; they only accept base83-encoded binary.

While the individual space savings per preview is small, on the backend you migh be storing literally millions/billions of such previews. And being forced to store pre-baked base83 text, has a lot of storage overhead compared to being able to storing raw binaries (e.g. Postgres BYTEAs) and then just-in-time b64-encoding them when you embed them into something.
Just a heads-up: this isn't my work. I just spotted it on the Unity subreddit and thought it was interesting.
The journey of personal growth begins within. Introductory high school level biology classes are where I learned that immortal cell lines are what causes cancer. And if you read their material on the GOOD Meat site you'll see they admit it without admitting it - the product is "sterilized" and "washed," you don't have to do this with actual meat.

But please, I invite you to research this for yourself. You'll be stunned.
I can’t recommend amish furniture enough.

Solid wood, highly customizable, built to pass down.

In terms of cost, you can look at getting a queen mattress

From mattress firm most people will be spending $500 - $1800 https://www.mattressfirm.com/search?q=Queen

From ikea your probably going to get a decent frame $500

https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/hemnes-bed-frame-black-brown-lo...

Neither of those include shipping, so let’s assume another $200

Total: $1200 - $2300

If you get the Amish bedrame you’re talking maybe $1000 - $1600 https://www.dutchcrafters.com/Bed-Headboards/cat/776#1-731

I went to a local Amish shop and it was $1000 for a beautiful queen frame.

Let’s just assume same shipping

Total: $1700 - $3600

Yes there’s increased cost, but if you’re already over the absolute base (mattress + frame) it’s worth it. For most people, I suspect spending the extra few hundred for very good quality is worth it. Often these can be resold and keep a decent margin (I mostly buy furniture used, but quality is expensive)
Definitely not. It’s common in places where the weather actually changes due to things other than the time of day, i.e. where cold systems move in. For example, look at the forecasts in the Chicago area where tomorrow (March 23) it’s going to be a fair bit colder at noon than at 1am. This is not at all uncommon, and is in fact precisely why it’s important to check the weather forecast in the morning on normal days when you’re deciding what to wear.
So does 50% of the time mean we are no better than random chance?
I'm very familiar with FL frameworks. I chose Flower after having spent a lot of time benchmarking many of them. FedML wasn't able to carry on the easiest workloads I tried, like the baseline of the Shakespeare dataset. The simulator you have was the slowest compared to the other frameworks I tried. Your platform doesn't give developers like me what they want. Flower was the best to use since day one.

Does that even matter when they still aren't being hired? Hiring statistics for those with disabilities are really horrible. We still hold biases about what makes one "productive" that stem from our very early hunter gatherer days, and these are still to this day negatively affecting the hiring potential of those with disabilities.
> In reality, the pretty girl and the ugly nerd with a good heart rarely end up together.

This is complex the ugly nerd often only thinks they have a good heart. It's their self-perception, which, if you listen to women, is not a shared perception.
Thanks! We're huge fans of the work that PySyft is doing, and we're very supportive of the Flower PySyft integration.
It is a real concern. I imagine you could heat treat the furniture to be safe.
I actually wonder if the farmer metric is true ?

I am new to these kinds of lightweight low-complexity deployment systems. Can you point me to a few other good projects? Thanks!
I'm not really bothered by the predicted fake news and spam deluges: I've seen enough of that already to know that regular social media use is not for me, and I'm generally picky about the topics I consume, and who I get them from.

If AI tools help my favoured sources become more productive, that'll be a plus. Of course, this ignores the broader impact on society...

What I'm afraid for? My job!
Apple is largely not in the business of "throwing things at the wall to see if they stick" and rarely an early mover in an industry. Even this article calls that out and says Apple is a "Fast Follower". They weren't first in smartphones, tablets, smart watches, wireless headphones, and more but they have some of the best products in those categories. Smart speakers/smart home is the one place they still struggle for sure and as for VR/AR we don't know how it will fair.

For many years now Apple has been pushing ML on their devices, if anyone is well positioned to roll out models that can run on laptops/phones/tablets it's Apple. I doubt they will utilize massive GPU farms but instead focus on on-device. Time will tell if that's just "not enough" for people or if it ends up giving them a massive "edge comuniting" advantage. Who else is shipping ML processors in consumer hardware (aside from GPUs where I'd argue is barely "consumer hardware" at this point)?

It's entirely possible Apple will miss this "wave" or get trounced by it but client/server stuff has a tendency to ebb and flow between what we expect to run locally or in the cloud (on-device Siri is an example of a much better experience running something locally that most companies do in the cloud). I wouldn't bet against Apple on this.
CSGO has just had the most concurrent player count. The game is by no means dying or unpopular. I think the game is in a great state and valve seems to be delivering a lot of what people have asked for. Im intrigued by the new smokes.

Can’t you just check Friday’s temps? I’m not sure why you’d expect this info out of Thursday.
When searching for new bookshelves, I was surprised to find there was not much correspondence between price and build quality. The $150 Kallax bookshelves from IKEA were made out of the same material as some $2700 Room & Board bookshelves I also liked: both were medium density fiberboard with a wood veneer. Maybe someone prefers the design of the R&B bookshelf, or maybe they like their choice of veneer better, but fundamentally these are very similar products with an 1800% price difference.

I suppose another thing you're buying is the notion of "Not IKEA", the sort of brand identification that is a luxury for certain kinds of people.
We can be part of the solution! Remind your friends of their options, help put them in contact with good info and when needed lawyers, and on occasion help them file the right complaints. This is a good case for "be the change you want to see in the world".
The truth is most anything of quality is unaffordable to most people. People are so used to cheap, imitation versions of things that they are blown away at the prices of quality goods. People are shocked when they find out a quality front door costs $3,000 and can go way higher, for example. Most people don't realize it but most homes are made out of cheap materials today or a lack of expensive materials. How many houses do you see with no windows on the side?!

If you shop for quality furniture you will pay many thousands for quality couches that are well constructed from furniture grade wood. Proper joints cost a lot more than screws holding things together. Don't even get me started on rugs!

If you're looking for high quality things, it's worth checking out the second hand market. Often these items were well cared for and you can get really nice things if you do the legwork.
Where process supervision is required under unix, you can use systemd, the linux-only solution pushed by redhat, or one of the small supervision suites such as s6 developed by skarnet.org.
Do cgroups solve any of these problems? I was mildly surprised to not see them mentioned.
Yup. As long as this crowd can keep making their mortgage payments they will never really be motivated to sell and move into a larger home. This will keep inventory low on what used to be called "starter" homes for likely the rest of this (millennial) generation in most US metro areas.

If you could not buy into an expensive market then, you likely never will barring some huge windfall like doubling your salary or inheritance. Guessing most of Gen Y will be renting condo's or living with their parents until the homes are passed on to them. A dumpy 3/2 1400-1600 sq ft. in the south bay area is like $8000+/mo with taxes and $360,000 down payment. Good luck.

That would fit in the category of the cheap crap that people want to be able to do better than. For the most part. Ikea has some randomly good stuff but... yeah... mostly not.
Part of what's changed, is that moving out of multigenerational households has become the norm in the US. Can't take mom and dad's furniture while they still need it.
If only Ruby had real concurrency and the memory didn't bloat like crazy.... you wouldn't need 90% of the hardware.
You’re arguing in March of 2023 that the issue is a lack of jobs?
Yes, but if you demand that everyone pays proportionally to the benefit they get, then the threat of moving capital to another country has an outsize influence on politics within the country. So the rich get even more say about how taxes are spent than they normally do, by literally voting with their wallets. And thus state’s spending is optimised to protect the interests of the rich with little regard for the poor.
Keep seeing these types of replies and I often ask myself what industry do they work in? because the Embedded Software Engineering and R&D I am currently apart of is full on NDA on top of NDA. And I suspect that is true for a lot of people working in other software fields. ChatGPT is only a curiosity and I doubt will ever make an impact in the hard/soft world where IP rules the roost.
But the most important weather changes to see forecasts for are the ones caused by weather systems moving in which are mostly independent of the time of day. Those are the ones that catch you by surprise wearing the wrong clothes.
I was wondering about stuff like this the other day when I saw stuff about Microsoft integrating GPT into MS365. How do they deal with permission granularity and ensure they aren't surfacing private information or conversations when they shouldn't be?

For example, if I have a Teams meeting with 15 people, how does that conversation become part of the model? Does everyone end up with a slightly customized model that's trained on the data they have access to?

Regardless of how it works, I think there's going to be some information that's unintentionally surfaced. Based on my experience, people don't understand the permission systems. They often leave data too accessible and the only reason it doesn't become a big deal is that most people aren't looking for data they aren't supposed to be accessing.

What happens when GPT mixes with confusing permission systems and exposes data that people think is private?
Deterimined commercial abusers know how to delay, lie and deflect . It is a daily occurrence.
You might have different (er, lower) standards for quality.
> would lower quality of life beyond what global warming will do.

Source on this? Climate crisis could quite possibly lead to extinction of humans and most life on Earth [0].

Now I do want to emphasized the word could. Extinction events are certainly "on the table", but certainly not a certainty.

However this is the true essence of the reason why we'll never stop climate change. The immediate cost of stopping or even slowing is high, and certain. The cost of not stopping it, is often considered higher, but is always probabilistic and less certain in nature.

Compounding this is that the more we rely on non-renewable hydro-carbons, the more painful it is to reverse or even slow our march towards catastrophic climate change, while at the same time the cost of not stopping it becomes less uncertain.

For example in 1900 it would have been incredibly easy to slow economic progress in order to prevent climate change, but the uncertainty around the cost of not slowing progress was very high, so the perceived expected value of stopping our march toward climate change was much lower than the present time expected cost.

It is strange to see calls for moderate pragmatism when our current state has been accelerating CO2 emissions. We're, quite literally, stepping on the gas to meet whatever future awaits us.

I participated in a paired programming interview once. I didn't get the job, but I walked away with respect for the organization doing it.

It gave them a chance to see how I worked as part of a team. Even if day to day I'm not pair programming, it starts off the relationship saying "If you need help on a problem, you can be comfortable working with your teammates."

The great thing about the setup is that it doesn't have to be a unique or complex problem. "Write a function to reverse a string. We'll write unit tests in parallel with that."

Or one of the thousand other problems. You're not testing algorithms here, you're testing whether the candidate is arrogant. Or talks too much. Or doesn't ask for help. What happens when they get stuck?

You're right, it's a lot of effort. But the resources spent on a bad hire can be even more expensive.
