OpenBIOS (www.openbios.org) is an OF1275 implementation that can be built as a coreboot payload (or it used to be possible, at least). There's a certain historical overlap between the teams (some OpenBIOS folks moved to LinuxBIOS, which became coreboot), so that kinda makes sense.

If any method depends on me initiating some action, it won't work for me. My brain will not only say "No", but it'll also often just shut up, not give any feedback and proceed to procrastinate.

For me, procrastination has some similarities to addiction. If I'm on a streak, I can maintain it. If I fail once, it's really hard to get back to it. I may be productive for a week, but sooner or later, something is going to happen that will allow me to procrastinate. When this happens, I'm like an addict, I'm not satisfied with a small dosage, and all limits are off. I know I should be working instead of watching Youtube. I don't want to do it, and I know I will regret it. All this happens while I'm typing "youtube.com" into my browser's address bar.

Various methods work on various people. Experiment and try different methods. Don't confuse it with trying multiple implementations of one method - if you tried two to-do list apps and it didn't work for you, skip the to-do lists and move to something else. My method is body doubling, but YMMV. Once you find a method that works for you, revisit previous productivity methods - they may supplement your productivity
> That seems to me like a much better use of your time than complaining that Github isn't doing it for free

Advocacy, raising issues and awareness is one of the necessary steps towards such a thing. If I'm helping build such an infra / ecosystem, I want people to use it because they think it's the right thing, not because it's technically better. Now, of course it would be nice if it is technically better and that's also necessary.

I also can't be everywhere. I'm already giving my time to other stuff, including in the open source ecosystem.

"Build it yourself" is not an acceptable / sufficient answer to a raised issue if you think it is legitimate. It's only a way to dismiss it if you don't care.

FWIW, there are good alternatives to GitHub, like codeberg.org / forgejo. Worth checking out. There, here's my second constructive contribution toward this goal in this thread.
The utility of grep depends on the amount of data and how it's stored. Grepping very large files of the size where you might consider parquet, that may take many hours. It's almost certainly faster to sit down and build a program that extracts data from a parquet.

On the other hand if grepping is fast, parquet doesn't really make sense in that scenario. You're better off with a structured format like JSON or XML if grep finishes in less than a few minutes.

> We've been building tech to translate dog barks to something meaningful for us to understand.

Can most dog owners not already understand or differentiate their dogs' barks? I can tell from the quality and context of my dog's barks, whether he

- wants something (food, water, attention)
- is angry
- is scared
- wants to play
- is excited
- is voicing a territorial dispute

and I think most dog people can also be confident in interpreting a fair range of basic emotions and also perhaps unique behaviors they've accidentally trained or organically developed with their dogs.

What additional things can your tech detect or identify beyond stuff like that? Are you using AI with human coders on training data, and if so, do they need special training or is the wisdom of naive dog-adjacent crowds good enough here?

I thought the other info you shared about canine and other animal vocalizations was very cool and interesting. I'd love to learn more about that any time, from anyone!
One other thing to note though is you're more likely to get injured on an electric scooter vs a bike, because it's much harder to control braking in the event of an emergency.

> Of course, renewables are great, I'm totally rooting for them. I just wish that they are actually, you know, available, instead of being only theoretically available and being used as a rhetorical device against nuclear power.

They are actually available, maybe Korea just doesn't want to build them? They don't play that well with constant output systems like nuclear so it would make nuclear unprofitable in the longer run. Although this obviously depends on the energy mix, maybe up until a certain percentage renewables would be fine for example.
I've participated in the open source community for 20 years and it seems to me that many people hold an opinion out of selfish reasons. Nothing wrong per se with being selfish, but it bothers me that people dress this up as something else.

Your attitude reminds me of the GPL vs BSD discussion. The philosophy behind Free Software is that all software should be Free (libre), hence the "viral" nature of GPL. But in the 2000s people started building companies based on open source technology, and many people started complaining about the GPL's "virality" as being a bad thing. They argued that this is not "truly free" because it demanded something in return, namely that your own work is also GPL-compatible. They argued that the BSD license is "truly free" but it didn't demand anything in return.

Now, 15-20 years later, the Free Software philosophy has declined in popularity, and the use of GPL has declined greatly. Nearly everything uses some sort of BSD license. But what we also see is that lots of companies build proprietary technology based on BSD-like open source technology. These companies capture a lot of value without releasing that value back to the open source community under open source terms.

And now we see an increasing number of people complaining about that. Guys... what did you expect? Then why did people complain so loudly about the GPL's virality?

Looks like "freedom" and "virality" were just rationalizations behind more selfish thoughts: "I want the world to be like whatever benefits me most". Rather than true believers in certain principles due to philosophy, many merely support these principles for their own benefit. A lot of people are not being honest with themselves.

I had to do clean room disassembly as my first post uni job, documenting a serial line comms protocol for a guy emulating a hospital information system. Naivety led me to burn a week reverse engineering the BIOS jump table for IO processing and the half byte shuffle to pass data out a serial port (this was a pre msdos system, it wrote the byte as nybbles to the serial UART). The actual data structure framing was easy once I got my wind. Fortran rewrite from the assembly from a memory dump.

I flew yesterday and in the plane realized I had some water from my daughter in the backpack. It was scanned and missed of course. And why wouldn't they miss it, it's a waste of time anyway. But at least they harassed a 3-year old to stand in a certain way to get scanned and fail at it. Unrelated, but I've come to believe it's a form of social welfare. So much policing for nothing, not just airports, wars on drugs etc. without it most of the people doing it would be unemployed.

> Transportation Security Administration screeners allowed banned weapons and mock explosives through airport security checkpoints 95 percent of the time, according to the agency's own undercover testing.

edit: I was a bit harsh, I don't have any real issue with the people doing it an it's probably untrue that most would be unemployed. What I really meant was that I find it strange that social programs are often questioned, but spending hundreds of billions on something not really necessary and creating jobs for it isn't.
sure, yet the point is that people at this stage would have hired others to help iterate, whether it generated sales or not, the transactions and velocity in the economy would have occurred from people trying things and paying others to help them.

I am sure I am to some degree as is everyone, but whether I am insofar as it would be pertinent to the conversation I am not so sure, as I have had a decent bit of training in evolutionary biology and have written a PhD thesis and manuscripts that discuss organismal fitness at length. I can't tell if you are or aren't confused and perhaps just wanted to play with the semantics of superlatives. I reckon you seem to be dealing with the concept in a colloquial sense though.

> The expectation that once you've made something you can't expect it to keep working

I don't think there is a single type of item in the world for which you could expect it to keep existing indefinitely without maintenance. Machines rust, wood degrades, paintings need restoring every few centuries. And even when properly stored in controlled atmosphere etc, books from a few centuries ago are almost unreadable because the language has changed so much since then (see https://web.cn.edu/kwheeler/diagram_4english.html for example).

Everything in this world needs constant maintenance or it breaks down. Why would you expect software to be any different?

While flying itself is quite fun - nothing beats finding weird tchotchkes in the duty free shop - thinking about airport security gives me existential dread.

I think it is great that British airports are relaxing their rules, but until that applies to the whole world, I will still arrive 2-3 hours before departure, knowing how unpredictable the situation at some airport security checkpoint can be.

It is almost as if the whole point is to discourage us to fly. It is great if you live in a country with access to high speed trains. Surely beats walking around in your socks or people with no empathy going through your luggage.
I don’t know about out of the box, but I’ve been having a great time training my own domain-specific models from scratch and utilizing them locally. It does seem that the more domain specific a task is, far fewer params are needed.

Having fun right now trying to build a model in GDELT, not much luck so far, but I’ve pushed less than 5% of the data through so far.

I’ve also been experimenting on fine-tuning Llama on my personal data archives, which seems promising but it’s pretty expensive to do so. Hoping someone will release a ~13B param model of Llama that they’ve trained with transfer learning from the 65B llama model and other data. FWIW even the 7B llama model running through llama.cpp after being quantized performs (subjectively, but substantially) better than GPT2.

This has been one of my most expensive, but also most rewarding, hobbies thus far.

The GPL and copyleft licenses are not about "getting in return" and selfishness. They are tools for a strategy meant to ensure end user's rights. Now, is this strategy working? Maybe. Yes for several ecosystems actually: R, QGis, WordPress, Nextcloud, XWiki… extensions are free software under GPL. De facto, or because it's a requirement. And it works, healthy businesses exist while end users enjoy the benefits of open source.

There are licenses that force you to contribute your changes back to the authors, and they are considered non-free. GPL only forces you to provide the sources to your users.

GitHub are the one benefiting from open source while not contributing their core business code. Who is selfish now? Let's not swap roles. GPL authors always have contributed their code. It feels bizarre to call them selfish.

GitHub is not giving free space and bandwidth out of their heart. It's a business strategy. It's a call product for their Enterprise edition and also a way to control the open source community like Google controls the web using Chrome. It's convenient. Even Microsoft's competitors are tied to Microsoft products. There's no mystery why they bought GitHub and about the fact they'll keep this ecosystem closed.

First time I've seen a hint at why liquids were banned besides vague references to explosives: British police said they had foiled a plot to blow up as many as 10 planes using explosives hidden in drinks.
Supposedly it can tell 'dangerous' liquids apart from things like drinks and shampoos.

can I ask in what field you work ?
A Big Knob Passive (not powered), which can toggle audio independently between two inputs (laptop and pc), and two outputs (speakers, and bluetooth transmitter) using tactile toggle buttons with immediate response, and it also has a big volume knob, and a button to turn stereo into mono which has turned out useful for some badly encoded videos having audio in only one channel.

The Bluetooth transmitter is used with sony WH-1000XM3 using the aptx standard and latency this way is good enough for gaming (I know what bad Bluetooth latency is like, and this setup does not have it)

The fact that pc and laptop output to audio jack and don't know I use wireless headphones (or which input or output I use at all) is a feature, not a bug, since I actually don't want the headphones to be able to change state of music players or volume on the pc as it's buggy and annoying if it does that.

The only thing the big knob passive lacks imho is an ability to mix both input sources together passively.
