I'm not sure thats true, it kind of depends on what the 10x is based on, but regardless its not realy a sensible grid mix:

https://www.wartsila.com/energy/towards-100-renewable-energy...

32% solar and 60% wind, with an overbuild of 2.5x peak demand each (so 5x peak combined) is the cheapest option, according to the above analysis, filling the remaining 8% with other low carbon options.
I love step-ca and have used it for a few years now. I really like being able to access my stuff without clicking through self-signed cert warnings every time, just add my CA to the system trust store and bam.
Haystack has been around for a while now, and we've been mostly specializing in the extractive QA. The focus has been indeed on making the use of local Transformer models most easy and convenient for a backend application builder. You can build very reliable and sometimes quite elaborate NLP pipelines with Haystack (e.g., extractive or generative QA, summarization, document similarity, semantic search, FAQ-style search, etc. etc.) with either Transformer models, LLMs, or both. With the Agents you can also put an Agent on top of your pipelines and use a prompt-defined control to find the best underlying tool and pipeline for the task. Haystack has always included all the necessary 'infrastructure' components - pre-processing, indexing, several document stores to choose from (ES/OS, Pinecone, Weavite, Milvus, now Qdrant, etc.) and the means to evaluate and fine-tune Transformer models.
The funny thing about these smart city projects is that there's a real discussion about privacy and it's a very bad indicator for the technology. No one really objects to the fact that everyone today walks around attached to a microphone, camera, and GPS sensor. Hell, half the people are wearing a device that'll track their heart rate. People have essentially shown that the don't care much about theoretical privacy concerns. Here in the UK we've got bloody CCTV everywhere too and the only technical thing preventing that being used to create a total police is that by and large the cameras are a smattering of cheap diverse products that are often not networked and certainly aren't co-ordinated very well.

Also in terms of these sensors in the office? That battle was lost long ago! The pandemic saw a huge swathe of employers just straight up install spyware on all their employees devices.

So why is there a discussion about privacy here? Because the actual smart sensors aren't doing anything of value! The privacy advocates cry "you're taking our privacy" and the researchers should be saying "But look at the amazing things we can do!" but in reality, there's not much interesting they're achieving with them so it's a difficult argument to have.

I agree, but was responding to a quote from the article saying that e-cargo bikes are “car replacers”.

Only if you actually use it, though. Sadly I see a lot of people buy bikes with aspirations to ride them every day, but they end up not being used.
This little SD Card fits flush in the M1 and M2 MacBook Pro slot, provides the user with additional storage (shrug) or constant Time Machine backups (hellll yes). Almost worth giving up that fourth Thunderbolt port for.

Except that if I was a racialized person and saw scrawled swastikas in my place of employment, I might very reasonably start to be concerned about my actual safety. The law clearly says that the employer is liable for a hostile work environment. So a damage award in that range really doesn't seem that excessive.

Hi, looking mostly for contract positions, but open to a permanent position given the right opportunity. Thanks.
All estimates for the cost of nuclear power are based on limiting what you actually pay for to a small fragment of the true cost and leaving the unknown to future taxpayers.

This is even formalized in international agreements. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vienna_Convention_on_Civil_Lia...)

This means that any and all estimates of prices per MWh are, and can never be anything but, fictional. Including this one.
They're five times cheaper when you dont take storage into account. Theyre cheaper after you consider storage too.

Indeed, if you use solar and wind to synthesize natural gas and burn that for electricity (a process that is ~40% efficient) it's still cheaper.

https://theecologist.org/2016/feb/17/wind-power-windgas-chea...

This means that even on the darkest most windless winter days when the grid has to eat into long term seasonal storage, solar and wind energy is currently still cheaper than an MWh of nuclear power is on the sunniest, windiest days.

I think Google Drive is abstracted enough that they are not running into something basic like an inode limit...

But this does remind me of having to set up a cron job on an old PHP application because the sessions were saved as files and it ran into the inode limit several years in :P
I was thinking about something like this for some time as well... care to elaborate? do you pick up the pen every time you switch from keyboard to "mouse" or do you have some type of ring holder?
When I started there were just electronic components, and you could only begin there. Now there are hobbyist built circuits which you can hook together, and libraries of pre built software.

Starting where I did gave me a very clear understanding of how things work. But it is not instant gratification!
See above - Haystack started a few years ago as a result of us working with some large enterprise clients on implementing extractive QA at scale. Now evolving to also allow the backend builders to mimic what's available from, e.g. OpenAI+plugins, but with their own set of models, and being able to mix&match best available components and technology.
Even then, it's still far more expensive than renewables.
"Definitely" is too certain w.r.t. law, but it's pretty obvious how you'd argue these fall under copyright. The difficulty would really be the opposite, it'd be arguing the weights are not derived works of the copyrighted input data sets.

Firstly, weights are not merely a collection of facts like a telephone book is. If two companies train two LLMs they'll get different weights every time. The weights are fundamentally derived from the creative choices they make around hyperparameter selection, training data choices, algorithmic tweaks etc.

Secondly, weights can be considered software and software is copyrightable. You might consider it obvious that weights are not software, but to argue this you'd need an argument that also generalizes to other things that are commonly considered to be copyrightable like compiled binaries, application data files and so on. You'd also need to tackle the argument that weights have no value without the software that uses them (and thus are an extension of that software).

Finally, there's the practical argument. Weights should be copyrightable because they cost a lot of money to produce, society benefits from having large models exist, and this requires them to be treated as the private property of whoever creates them. This latter one should in theory more be a political matter, but copyright law is vague enough that it can come down to a social decision by judges.
Yes, but there's less incentive for large companies to spend huge amounts of money training these systems when other companies can just take their work for free.

Removing IP protection would make it a lot easier to innovate at this level, but it would reduce the amount of money flowing into getting us to the next level.

Their sync client is absolute garbage imo.

1. On Windows, at least on my system, setting an upload limit/automatic limit crashes the client regularly.
1a. Right clicking in Windows Explorer when Nextcloud is in that state causes it to crash as well.
2. Android auto upload feature for photos fails often.

For both of those problems I've found new and old, open and closed issues.

Thankfully I can work around #1 by not using any limit (sometimes annoying) and #2 by using a decent WebDAV client (FolderSync) instead.
Absolutely true and the "small number of users" clearly are your power users. You don't mess with power users without some clear path. For better/for-worse, they tend to be rather influential.
TikTok fined £12.7M for UK data protection law breaches – TikTok

Funny how all rationalizations we come to are conveniently the ones that alleviate us from any responsibility or blame. I'm advocating for taking responsibility, tackling the problem seriously and making sacrifices if necessary. I believe we can solve the problem and I'm all for improving the world of atoms instead of everybody working on stupid service industry jobs or pushing ads and widgets, but I don't see it happening - especially looking at responses to my post.

IMO K3s (and distros like it) are the future of self managed Kubernetes. The same way Linux distributions brought simplification and sane, opinionated defaults to Linux in an era where compiling your own kernel and throwing user space together, K3s does the same for vanilla Kubernetes. It’s a joy to deploy and manage over vanilla.
A tort is a type of lawsuit. "Restorative" damages aren't a thing except maybe in some odd legal jurisdiction (inb4 Louisiana, because the french) or niche subset of law. You have compensatory and punitive damages. They are not mutually exclusive. Compensatory damages are to make the injured party financially whole. Punitive damages are awarded by the court and basically serve as a "don't do this" fine.

I wouldn’t really call IEEE-1275 Open Firmware a “BIOS competitor” so much as an actual attempt to standardize firmware.

By all rights, EFI, UEFI, and all the various random boot loaders shouldn’t exist because a manufacturer can just leverage one of a number of independent, interoperable implementations of the standard and support booting arbitrary software on their systems.

Despite not being large and quite well-designed, about the only thing that’s survived from IEEE-1275 into the modern era has been the “device tree” concept.

But that can still change! There are Open Source implementations of Open Firmware these days, they’re rather straightforward to bootstrap, and since so much of the higher levels are implemented in FORTH and the lower levels in platform-independent C, you get a lot of bang for the buck in adopting it, including things like booting from an arbitrary IP network or arbitrary local storage, using an arbitrary text or graphics device for output, and using arbitrary devices for input. All it needs is a set of straightforward drivers for the local hardware, since it doesn’t need to be super-fast.
But the ladies in the rational dress society put tight-fitting corsets at the top of their list of complaints, so presumably the kind of corset that isn't comfortable and which impedes movement were common at the time?
A terse notation is useful for grokking code, as the information is spread across less characters that need to be interpreted by the brain.

If you expanded all names, that would add cognitive overhead for all users and reduce the useful information per character, and potentially reduce the information that can fit on a screen significantly.

While I'll agree that "cryptic sequences" are a more steep learning slope, they allow for much faster understanding of larger blocks of data/assembly once the "cryptic sequences" themselves are understood.
> I feel this reaction around corset kinda mimic the "suits can be made as comfortable as pajamas" rethoric. Sure they can, but the primary reason this has to be stated is because that requires tremendous and specialized effort that goes against the primary goal of the garment.

Oh friend, it doesn’t. Not for men’s suits I mean; I don’t know much about women’s clothing.

I am a short but beefy guy, shopping is hell and always has been. I had resigned myself to the idea that if I wanted a comfortable suit, I would have to get it tailor made. I have uncomfortable suits I wore for funerals and what not, hated every minute of it.

Turns out, go in the right shop (boss in my case) and I was able to find a comfortable one, with a look I love, for 800 eur. And it is absolutely as comfy as pjs. I’ve never before worn a suit for fun; I am the kind of guy who wears sports clothes most of the time.

I did have to get the leggings and sleeves shortened but that doesn’t feel like a “tremendous and specialised effort”, more run of the mill 1m60 man woes.
This makes me furious. Almost every cunt who invented and used it lived longer and richer life than almost every victim they murdered.
Anyone who don't include cost of seasonal storage in renewable pricing is malicious or stupid. That is what really matters, not the spot price. We use power in winters and nights.

Then again people freezing to death is certainly effective way to lower co2 emissions, maybe this is their hidden agenda.

Why you are recommending XLR but not recommending jack for delayless output to headphones? I have Samson C01 in USB version and all I miss is an ability to listen the signal. This is not a microphone for singers because it is very sensitive but it makes a good sound of me for video meetings and that's it.
Given the user base for TikTok in the US, I don't think this is a likely issue, because this is not a group of people clamoring tenaciously to get something; rather, it is a group of people following the path of least resistance. If TikTok is suddenly gone from the app store, you're not going to see swarms of bored teenagers and soccer moms jailbreaking their iPhones to install some third party TikTok workaround; you're going to see them switch to Instagram Reels or YouTube Shorts.

TikTok's popularity, while in part fueled by the algorithm, is largely a matter of network effect. Sure, a small portion of the users may "stick it to the man" and go through the trouble of working around the ban, but it won't be anything close to a majority of the 150+ million users they currently have in the US.

This is all also somewhat beside the point -- the bill in question here isn't bad because it bans TikTok; it's bad because it hands almost unfettered Internet censorship power to the executive branch and provides stiff penalties for workarounds such as VPN use to circumvent blocks. Which is why it's been called by some the USA PATRIOT Act 2.0.
STOP.

People insist on making data exchange formats used to transfer data between software 99.99% of the time "easy for humans" that 0.001% of the time, at the expense of the common case. This inevitably results in squishy, inefficient formats like HTML and JSON that become performance quagmires and security land mines: http://seriot.ch/projects/parsing_json.html

CSV is not even easy for humans to process, with or without tools like grep. Can you successfully handle quote escaping and line-wrapping?

This ,"is ", valid
"Hello",123,"''from the
not,what,you,
""think"",next line"""

That's one record, by the way.

Your level one challenge is: Extract the unescaped value of the "valid" column. Write your robust, tested, "grep" command-line below.

Level two: Make that parse consistently across a dozen tools from a dozen vendors. Try ETL tools from Oracle, Sybase, and SAP. Try Java, PowerShell, and Excel. Then import it via an ODBC text driver, and also into PowerBI. I wish you luck.
Rather ironic you bothered to reply, then.

I actually think readability matters and I wasn't rude.

What's your excuse?
Cool demo, but I think containers are not bolted down and they regularly fall off the side of the boat. Obviously these will have quite a lot of force going through them to be able to move a ship to any degree, so what is the plan to be able to bolt them down? How will they cope in weather like this? https://youtu.be/diOdeVaAfDU Of course you'll say the crew will remember to pull the sail down in time every time they come into bad weather but I think you'd be surprised how quickly things can change at sea (generally satellite info is not granular enough to predict/catch everything). Maybe some automatic weather detection is needed.

I think the idea might be more difficult to implement in reality but would love to be proven wrong. I wish you more than luck.

You can just write your own assembler if you wish to. It's much easier than writing a full fledged compiler for a higher language, but that obviously doesn't make it easy.

Otherwise, mnemonics are the way they are because of history, but also practicality. Since you're going to be writing them a lot, you want them to be short. It also doesn't take too long until their meanings are burned into your brain.

>I see you have never been in any real pain, ever. What do you get for cancer in Germany? Still ibuprofen?

I guess not. My point still stands though. Americans in Germany whine all the time about not getting "proper" pain medication. It's an attitude problem.

I have been in pain multiple times, mostly broken bones, wisdom teeth, tendons and the like, and in the moment it doesn't feel good to only get ibuprofen.

But most pain is not too much to take and it's ok for you to feel it. It's better than getting an addiction problem for life.

As you say it's an over-prescribing issue. Keep opioids only for extreme pain. Not for normal pain.
There's a few things really:

Inter-entity/system communication without a bunch of tooling to support it is always going to be a bit cludgy and hard to follow as it's by necessity dynamic at runtime. It is really useful though so writing tooling for it is a good idea.

Perf impact could be pretty big if your ECS uses archetypes and needs to do a lot of copying data around as components are added and removed. But in my experience these sort of events tend to be low frequency so probably not terrible. Always good to measure though!

Don't feel hide bound to stick within the confines of the ECS setup. It's a tool not a way of life! Straight forward message passing might be much cleaner and clearer or there might be a better data sharing strategy that can live outside the ECS itself. All frameworks provide fun puzzles of how to fit functionality into them when going round them is sometimes simpler and clearer!
