This change was passed in 2017 in order to pay for the tax cuts, effectively a five-year time bomb. Congress basically did this as an accounting trick to pay for them, yet never intended for it to take effect.
It does not matter that Brave lives in its own, separate source repository. This code is regularly rebased on Chromium.

Your cookies rely on the flour you use to make them even if they have chunks of chocolate that the flour doesn't have. No flour, no cookies. (Except in this case it's even worse, the cookies is already done, you just add some colors...).

I too can take chromium and put it in my own git repository and change some minor stuff. It will be "forked" and "separately" developed but it would not mean a thing.

You have a strange definition of not relying.

That will be a wonderful change. Unfortunately we will still have to deal with leap seconds retrospectively, but it is certainly a step forward, and it will be nice to have a static list of historical leap seconds rather than all computers everywhere polling IERS every month or two.
>Also, some of those magnetic USB charging cables to keep them charged without fiddling with plugging in cables.

I've had MacBooks for two decades. Until my recent purchase of an Apple Silicon model, they all used proprietary power connections (first barrel, then MagSafe) on one side of the computer. Since I needed a power supply in two different places, this always meant obtaining a second Apple charger.

My current MacBook is the first I've owned that also allows charging from any USB-C port. For the first time, I can

* use a small USB charger I already owned (A 27W unit in my case. Yes, the computer does charge under use, albeit slower than with the Apple charger)

* charge on the opposite side of where the Apple charger goes (which is very useful for my aforementioned multiple-location usage pattern)

* still have an auto-detachable connection by, like you, using a magnetic USB connection (<https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BCJVL7CD/> is what I use)

Logitech X Pro Superlight seems pretty popular and sadly doesn’t work via cable but only Logitechs lightning receiver.

Does it really provide the statistically most common next token? I don’t think that’s even true. And we’ve seen what looks like emergent behavior as parameters increase. I suspect it is actually creating abstractions at a deeper level than standard DNNs.
as per the article, the limits are being imposed by the DEA not the pharmacies and not the distributors.... a better approach would be to do a FOIA on the DEA and get all evidence about their restrictions on distributors for schedule IV narcotics (xanax, adderall, etc) and then sue the DEA maybe for interfering with interstae commerce, i dont know...

As somebody working in a related space, _any_ diversification is a good thing simply because it forces System76 to redesign its processes to become less Clevo-specific.

Once you start, you're going to have a hard time to find an ODM that's willing to teach you the ropes _and_ accept that you're not a single-ODM shop _and_ deal with whatever fancies S76 brings up, so that limits options. (Any of these mean that S76 will be a high-maintenance customer for Emdoor, and these three more than compound in that way)

I can't overemphasize how big of a step this is.

Use the AWS free tier.

Add the message to a DynamoDB table with a send date. Create an Eventbridge rule that runs every month and calls a Lambda function. Have the Lambda function query the DynamoDB table and email you the message using SES if the time stamp is reached.

Assuming AWS doesn’t change their free tier in the next 20 years, this should be free.
this guy / gal gets it
You make a great point and I'm sorry about that. To answer some of your questions and try to add more detail:

Strings are UTF-8. Internally Parquet has the concept of "physical types" (ie how bytes are arranged) and "logical types". 64 bit ints are just physical with no logical type. DateTimes are 64 bit int physical types (millis since unix epoch - aka "Javascript time") with a logical type of "datetime" so you know to read it that way.

Bool columns are bits in a row.

The "data bearing" parts of a file can be compressed and usually are. Most are using snappy, a fastish, moderate compression codec. I believe some are also using zstd. One of the common questions people ask is: "how does it compare against .csv.gz" and the answer is favourably. Gzipped csv is even slower to read and write and usually about 30% bigger on disk.
Yes. Ish.

Obviously text-oriented grep doesn't work. But table oriented duckdb can work very well indeed (and it basically combines a lot of awk and grep together)

$ duckdb <<EOQ
select count(\*) from 'archive.parquet' where sensor = 'wifi'
EOQ
┌──────────────┐
│ count_star() │
│ int64 │
├──────────────┤
│ 4719996 │
└──────────────┘
$

You can change a lot of aspects around such as the output format, but the point remains that you can do grepy things with Parquet files quite easily.

No they haven't. The different statenents are much more careful than this.
One important intuition about gzip vs snappy is that gzip isn’t generally parallelizable, while snappy is. If your Hadoop cluster is storing enormous files this shows up very quickly in read performance.
I have the same mixer but it doesn't work how I like. I can't get the phones to output unless I have the main turned up, so I can't go headphones only unless I turn off the speakers independently. Is that how yours works? Right now I have the headphones on main, and the speakers on aux, so I can set their volumes completely independently from the mixer, but the problem is the aux only outputs the left channel to the speakers.

I'd love to send the main to the speakers and headphones on the headphones, but then I have to control the speakers on the mains independently.

How do you have your outputs wired?

I concur, pharmacists have no legal basis nor license basis in determining the decision making of a licensed medical doctor. The doctor is the one that provided the care came up with the diagnosis and came up with the plan for the prescription for the medication. The only role the pharmacist has is in dispensing that medication. it's wholly inappropriate for a pharmacist to get into the business of second guessing the work of a licensed MD.
ChatGPT for me seems most useful for looking up things that are somewhat obscure or have documentation sparsely scattered across the web… the sort of thing you’d be less likely to even see asked about on SO, let alone answered. Its real value is in its (usually) intelligent synthesis of a coherent whole from many disparate parts that you would’ve been unlikely to come across all of on your own.
It should be quite clear to you that on this Earth, at the level of the biosphere, there is nothing except humans that produce radioactive waste. We are the only species that does something so dangerous. It's a problem because it contaminates and destroys the biosphere if it's not handled extremely carefully and there are no organisms which can compost such waste in any useful way. So it's unnatural.

Plastic is another unbelievably horrible man made concoction which is absolutely destroying the natural world due to poor handling.

Since plastic waste and nuclear waste aren't food for other organisms, or don't naturally break down, they're not materials that belong in the natural environment. The is the same environment from which you come from, owe everything too, and which you're still totally and utterly dependent on for your survival.

Hopefully that's a good answer...

By the way, I used to share your beliefs, that it's all the same, it's all "natural", but I just can't keep up the mental charades anymore. Our intellect and creativity is an important part of our short-term survival, but thus far it's been massively destructive and I can't see that changing anytime soon.
Microsoft's profit margin for "intelligent cloud" in their most recent earnings was less than 50%. Impressive, but not nearly enough to make GPT subscriptions make financial sense.
Long before the FPS shooters started showing up I had the problem with mouse cables pulling on my hand and causing pain in the wrist. The solution was to use cable ties to fix the mouse cable to the keyboard cable so the mouse cable does a little loop up in the air and leaves enough space to move the mouse everywhere. Extra useful when you accidentally knock the mouse down because you are using an ergonomic mouse that is higher than you are used to. Instead of hitting the floor in three pieces, it just hangs in the air :-)
Fully agree with both points, with the skill that ARB/Khronos have shown for a proper SDK experience, and that 90% of people are better off with middleware tooling.

Mx Ergo (by Logitech) is far and away the best "mouse" for me and probably for you. It only takes about two hours to transfer your motor skills of regular mouse to the Mx Ergo. Because this "thumb ball" mouse only involves your thumb to work the mouse you won't get the full wrist, shoulder and neck pain that you can get from a normal mouse. If you have any kind of arm pain then check this out.

Natural language to SQL is a classical AI task at this point. The goal is not to make something for developers, who will likely prefer SQL or a DSL regardless, but to craft tools that can be handed out to business people without developers having to fiddle with code for each request.

(NL to SQL is actually one of my tasks at $work).

Obviously, when you actually try to make such a system beyond a minimal demo to publish a paper, you start running into all kinds of issues, e.g. permissions for different users, performance, matching language to the concepts in the data.
And that's not even taking into account adversarial prompts (injections, ddos, etc.)

So I get that the evidence is that you can do insanely complex things with consistency, like playing a text adventure. You pick up a thing and it stays in your inventory etc, ergo, it’s modelled a character with an inventory in a text adventure.

vvv

But, coming at this as *respectfully and curiously* as I can here:

^^^

I guess I’m a little more skeptical about attributing magic to something that I know is only working from words as a source.

Like if it’s seen NOUN really close to VERB a lot, it can “assume” (read: bias output) that NOUN will VERB in the context it sees it in, that’s an abstraction! But a weak one right? Language is pretty inaccurate. The fact that NLP was a whole booming research field a few years ago tells me that just parsing language consistently is a difficult problem.

So, I know I can’t give you any convincing argument there since we’re already mentioning how people are giving untestable definitions of “reasoning” and “abstraction” in this thread. And im no better in that respect here, BUT I guess my best inkling of what feels “off” is a lack of precision, inherent to the medium in which it operates which makes it feel like a true abstraction is impossible in an LLM.

The ZCam E1 I've been using for a while for videoconferencing has a pretty marginal Android app that worked fine on my Samsung S9, but which crashes on my new S22. The bitrot on these systems is just surreal. :/

There is thankfully a decent well documented API I can hit up. The wrinkle is, I've never gotten the device to actually pair with my network so far- I have definitely contemplated plugging in a usb-wifi card to my desktop explicitly for purpose of connecting to the camera. There is an API for connecting to another wifi, which maybe perhaps might be more successful than the in-camera control, which would be nice.
I'm not the one you're replying to, but I've worked on software, for far more critical infrastructure than Twitter, that has run unchanged for over 3 decades.

You only hear about the failures. You don't hear about the systems that keep on working.

and to see how you grow as an engineer beyond this kind of uninformed nonsense.

In other words, "grow as an engineer" means "parroting the lies that keep you employed"? As the saying goes, "it is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it". And that explains the sad state of most "modern" software.

Remember last time we had a nationwide Adderall shortage it was deliberately caused by Shire to force people onto Vyvanse.

Prior to Vyvanse Shire has signed a generic supplier agreement with TEVA so generic adderall was just the brand drug stamped differently. When they had Vyvanse ready they cancelled the agreement on short notice. That sent TEVA scrambling to stand up a production line.

Standing up a C2 line is a pain because of the DEA approvals and quotas. The quotas also prevent any of the other generic makers from ramping up their own production. The quota setting process is retrospective and by design it can't respond quickly to market changes like this.

So keep an eye out on who has a new patented medication for ADHD coming out and follow the money trail. The big drug companies love to turn a crisis into an opportunity and it wouldn't be surprised if they lobbied to include non-opioids in the settlement to give them cover for this sort of manipulation.

Completely disagree with 2. Look up AIXI. It looks and feels to me like a completely plausible and mathematically grounded theory of intelligence. One principle aspect of the theory is that it allows you to see that intelligence is merely compression. This is the origin of the Hutter prize. Compression is almost the same thing as prediction, look into the math. Llms are prediction machines. Predicting the next word isn't some stupid goal it's exactly what you need to do to build an intelligent machine.
Sure, let's lock the open source community in GitHub, a private company owned by Microsoft (who loves open source as long as it's not for its flagship products), even more. We need this. The open source community isn't already too locked in as is.

GitHub perpetually seems to praise open source developers and community but can't seem to want to put their actions where their words are by making their flagship product open source.

It's cool as long as it's not us.

I'm sick of this hypocrisy.

Of course they should propose such a private space. They'd be stupid not to. But don't be dumb yourself and stay out of this prison.
