I would not characterize my comments as excessive charity. It’s an accurate summary of Toqueville’s essay and a rough comparison of his claims to the way history unfolded.

The 1848 revolutions you talk about occurred in different ways, but a way to generally characterize them is that they were all democratic with the aim of removing the old monarchical structures (regardless of the actual participants). This aligns with Toqueville’s claim that revolution stems from social division (which liberalism eliminates) and not other forms of inequality. The same is true of the Paris Commune; the third republic was initially dominated by monarchists and the Paris Commune as government was organized as a rival to the national government in Versailles/Bordeaux.

The American Civil war is another example that supports Tocqueville. The social stratification of slavery led to war but not the extreme inequality of the 1920s. Neither has the inequality of the present.

Tocqueville’s observation of the connection between social class and revolution also explain why the 20th century movements in Europe played out the way they did. Communist revolution occurred in Russia but not Germany. The fascist movements in liberal Germany and Italy took power without bloody revolution but the movement in Spain was tied to monarchists and thus there was civil war.

His main point is that liberalism provides off-ramps from violent revolution because people have other ways of wielding political power. In societies with strict social classes, the classes without political power have much greater incentives to fight. I imagine you wouldn’t disagree with this claim.

That’s my point:

The Navy didn’t perform at the level of making the gearbox work, because despite getting their admirals’ request for a modular super ship, they’re not ninja problem fixers but in on the MIC grift.

That, and the discounts they offer are weirdly misaligned with what I actually book and could possibly want. If a discount happens to actually be applicable for a trip I want to make, booking.com usually is still cheaper. But then I've never managed to get a better deal booking with a hotel directly, usually it's significantly more expensive with more restrictive cancellation policy, which is a shame as I don't really trust booking.com et al. Maybe it works like that because I'm in Europe and mostly booking there?

Back in the 00s Delphi and VB6 were really popular especially with teens on the web such as myself at the time. I wanted to try Delphi back a few years because it seems to build reasonable UIs without me having to use Qt (not really excited at C++) or Electron. The dang price is several thousands of dollars, I have zero interest in paying thousands for a hobby tool.
One funny bit of context is that I remember I enjoyed reading this story linked from HN and then came back to read the comments only to find it was flagged: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35590279

So uh, us-a culpa.

But yeah I assume that they can't actually correctly isolate the protected wildlife lands from the rockets even with the added protections on the launch site itself, just fundamental physical limitations of how quiet a rocket that size can be... I don't know whether that will actually invalidate their permitting etc. or not though.
The original claim was that "SpaceX are not grounded at all." That is analogous to saying that "Boeing is not grounded at all" after the 737MAX was grounded. I would not consider either statement to be "100% correct". Part of Boeing's fleet was grounded, and part of SpaceX's fleet is grounded. It is true that only part and not all of either manufacturer's fleet was grounded, but to say that either one was "not grounded AT ALL" [emphasis added] is not accurate.
I mean, with a few notable exceptions, NASA's scientific missions have an amazing record of lasting much longer than they were designed for, Hubble and the Mars rovers & helicopter being amazing feats of lasting longer then they should.
We are going to need better retrieval methods as LLMs augment and generate more content on the internet.
I cut my teeth on Delphi and I don’t remember Linux ever coming up despite me using it quite a bit. Delphi’s bug strength was the really polished UI builder. The language itself was almost secondary to that. But the UI builder was married to Windows UI and I don’t honestly know how well it might have been translated to something like GTK or QT. Also in the early 2000s both GTK and QT were going through some major changes and so were moving targets.

Besides, the early 2000s were the era of the “this is the year of Desktop Linux” tech articles. Of course that never materialized and Linux desktop is still pretty niche. So I don’t really see how lack of Linux support had anything to do with it.
The launch pad wasn't supposed to disintegrate and shower the surrounding area with large quantities of all sizes of concrete debris. It's pretty reasonable for them to get push-back for their inadequate engineering when it causes unanticipated negative side-effects. Now they'll have to re-design their launch pad, but they were going to have to do that anyways. (Article says they planned to use a water-cooled steel plate under the launch pad but it wasn't ready in time. Maybe that's enough, or maybe they'll have to install a proper flame trench and water deluge system which they were trying to avoid for some reason.)
I don't know which generation of natural keyboard you mean, but the one I have is wonderful, and my two generations of Surface Books have been absolutely beautiful devices - yes they've got soldered memory and can't really be repaired or upgraded, but that's par for the course for a tablet (and increasingly for laptops too - I think most MacBooks are like that?). I honestly don't know why they're not more popular with corporates other than Lenovo/Dell already being established there - they make great development machines and are wonderful in a "fixed desk with a docking station but also use on the move" scenario.

MS have definitely had some failures and weirdnesses (and a few straight up "should never have happened" issues like the RROD), but that's part of innovation.

I believe that Google's ball drop with tablets has to do with that the phone manufacturers that Google partners with for Android are not as interested in tablets (likely using wifi) as they are with phones. Combine that with a lack of standardization and lack of focus for the tablet form factor... and that's what you've got.

The iPad, on the other hand was the original "this is what we want". The iPad was the first thing that Apple was trying to make.

> Work on the iPad itself actually traces back to 2004, when designer Jonathan Ive and others crafted a new tablet prototype. The product was originally supposed to ship before the iPhone, but the company came to decide the latter was more important, premiering it in 2007 using similar technologies.

( https://appleinsider.com/articles/18/04/03/a-brief-history-o... )

So from the very beginning with the iDevice, the idea of different form factors and sizes was part of how it was written rather than as a phone that grew bigger.
Well, I use oauth only for authentication (IE, use it to get a trusted email address for the web user of my app), not authorization. Of all the systems I've used, kerberos has been the best authn solution, then basic auth to log in as a user where authorization is done in another ACL system (FS acls, for example).

My complaints are almost entirely about the ergonomics of writing oauth code in a server, provisioning the resources to make it work (like DNS), and then debugging 900 redirect_uri errors.

Here's the thing. The overwhelming majority of content that people want to share on the likes of Imgur never actually get that much traffic. Ergo, why not just buy a cheap xyz, be it a turn-key appliance, a Pi and roll your own, or do something more sophisticated? Or if they don't want to do that, why not just host it out of your cloud storage provider?

I don't really understand the niche that Imgur is serving. Past a point, it makes far more sense to have it on your own server (local or cloud), your own CloudFlare account in front of it etc. This weird middleground where people aren't making money off of their content, but still want to share it, but don't actually get that much traffic is a weird one.

Why not just stick some ads on it if you're getting that much traffic or stick it on someone else's ad-supported platform? And if it's porn, why not go through a porn site and monetize legitimately? Surely all legitimate and consensual pornography wouldn't have a problem with that, and they would get more traffic on the ads/subs, and thus more money.
Wiktionary says fromage comes from Latin for "mould", cheese might come from Proto-Indo European "to ferment, become sour" but this is contested, and ost comes from Proto-Indo European "sap"/"juice"/"broth", seen also in Latin ius="gravy"/"broth"/"soup"/"sauce".

See e.g. https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/cheese

Interestingly, the pronounciation guide for origin of ost is /ˈjus.tɑz/ which seems a lot like the Finnish word for cheese, "juusto".

Yes, that’s exactly what I intended. Hiring 3-4 pilots who would work 40 hours per week just sitting around waiting for me. Being tested to make sure their skills are high.

Although I suppose if I was paying $1.2M in rental pilots they would be absolutely amazing and not the junkie that GP described.

I still think like a poor, working class person rather than like a billionaire where $1M/year is literally the equivalent of a few hundred dollars for me.

I read a book by Douglas Coupland (I think it was All Families are Psychotic but not sure) where a super rich person goes to a restaurant and orders every dish on the menu. He then tries them and eats one and throws the rest away. His guest was so perplexed and he explained that what’s $1000-2000 for a meal. It doesn’t matter.

What’s inconceivable to me is common to some. And there’s probably someone out there that feels the same about me. In that there are countries with $1k GDP and people making $2/day. So I make 1000x just like billionaires make 1000x my own.
The northeast is amazing. I wanted to give a simple example.
There's one thing I'd like to get some clarification on. You said in an earlier comment:

> I am reducing to 2XSAT, which is a name for instances that are intersections of 2-SAT and XORSAT instances.

It seems to me that 2-SAT and XORSAT are distinct problems. I mean there is no problem instance that is simultaneously a 2-SAT problem and an XORSAT problem instance. So how can there be instances that are intersections of both ?
No. It wasn't Linux, it was web applications that did Delphi in commercially. GUI desktop software was suddenly unpopular and web applications were all the rage because OMG! just go live! No upgrade and multi-platform InstallShield build to deal with.

My first serious language was Turbo Pascal 3.0. When Delphi came out, I jumped on board. My first programming job was as a Delphi programmer, starting with Delphi 1, switching to Java after Delphi 5 Enterprise. Delphi, and even C++ Builder were IDEs geared toward producing desktop client-server applications. If you were building web apps Java was the place to be.

Kylix never mattered, because Linux desktop applications didn't matter, generally speaking, so it never became profitable. Linux as an alternative to Solaris on servers was a huge deal though, and is now nearly ubiquitous. But again, Delphi came very late to the web application game.

Yeah, but ... It was a political effort.

It was a movement that used the existing mechanism to promote a law they wanted, not a mob trying to get their way by shouting down others.

You may not like how the process works, but it works the same for everyone. Trying to smear the ones you don't agree with as not legitimate doesn't work, because it's the process that you're smearing.
Yes, this hit home so hard. All objects are bespoke mini languages that add little to no value and simultaneously make it hard to remember and hard to use. Just use maps!
For python it routinely has trouble with pip, default locations that pip use, virtual envs break, reshimming doesn't work half the time, I can't even remember all the other issues I've had.

For node it's more of the same, old versions of node were so broken that installing them through asdf doesn't work unless you build directly from source. Reshimming doesn't work half the time, global packages can't be found, idk what else. tons. It's just ridiculous to see when _every_ other language works fine in asdf.
Decompile it to Java - yes, decompile it to Clojure - highly doubtful.
Yes, although I love the scenes of Sam cooking :)
Does your module maybe have a built-in VRM? The datasheet said the operating voltage range was 2.5-3.6V. A LiPo battery has a nominal voltage of 3.7V and a fully-charged voltage closer to 4.2V. That's definitely out of spec without a VRM.
If you look through the comments here, folks are mostly referring to keeping for example a chat history. No one is doing 1m words of chat. A common pattern is to summarize a chat history and pass that in the prompt.

As for a corpus of documents (which is what you are presumably talking about), there are a couple problems with what you are saying:

First, you are implying that the content is always new - that's not true for many cases folks are talking about solving (like technical support or customer support), so it's a one time fee to summarize the corpus. You might run it periodically for updates.

Second, there is an assumption that a basic semantic search is the best way to search documents to find the most relevant content. That's questionable before the existence of LLMs, but with LLMs you are basically assuming your cosine similarity search on your vectors is better than an LLM can do with a simple table of contents and question "where should I search?" I haven't seen someone do a detailed study, but the implicit assumption that semantic search is the best idea for text could easily be a bad one.

Third, it assumes the quantum of data to search through is astronomically large and/or getting bigger compared to almost certain decreases in inference cost and increases in input tokens. This will be true for some subset of things, but unlikely to be many and in the cases it is true they'll do something more sophisticated than embeddings and embedding search. They'll probably fine tune the underlying model on an ongoing basis.

Regardless - the post you guys wrote seems... like a stretch for a definition of what this really is And, at least on the surface vector databases appear to be commodity infra. Pinecone might be growing fast now, but how do they ever make much money above their costs? But, you guys seem smart, so maybe there is something there?

>I'm surprised they still allow direct linking of images, as that results in their bandwidth being used for free.

On mobile at least they've got a dark pattern to fix that. Direct links redirect to imgur.io with the same ad-filled infinite scrolling hell the linker tried to save you from.
The best method around it I've found is to edit the url before going there to be imgur.lurkmore.com instead of imgur.com. Hopefully mentioning it doesn't get the site killed. It seems like nitter for imgur. I keep telling friends to stop using imgur but some of them are weirdly stubborn. I use a variety of free image hosts when I link them stuff, never imgur, and yet they refuse to put in even a fraction of the effort in most cases.

> Do you fine-tune the LLM to adhere to a format that the planner understands?

This one. It looks like they're using GPT3 to translate the natural-language problem context and goal into a format called PDDL (planning domain definition language), then feeding the result into a separate program that generates a plan based on the context and goal.

With that in mind, the thing they're really testing here is how well GPT3 can translate the natural-language prompt into PDDL, evaluated on the basis of whether the generated PDDL can actually solve the problem and how long the resulting solution takes.

Naturally, I could be wrong but that's at least what it looks like.

> just because Canvas layers on top of WebGL/GPU draw calls, doesn't necessarily mean it's performant in the way I need it to be

You are using Canvas right now. WebGL uses Canvas to render to the screen. If you open up your demo's DOM inspector right now, you will see a canvas element. It's:

<canvas id="the_canvas_id" width="1914" height="580" style="width: 1914px; height: 580px;"></canvas>

It's a little bit hard for me to trust this kind of dismissive talk about the browser adding too many abstraction layers when it's not clear to me that you're fully aware of what browser features your demo is using right now. Targetting the DOM and using embedded canvases really doesn't have anything to do with whether or not you're writing Javascript, and it doesn't mean you can't use WebGL to render charts.

While I don’t really buy bluesky as a replacement, the “people who pay show up first in the replies, not people who were chronologically first or people whose stuff is popular” feels _extremely_ corrosive to any social network; even dating/hookup sites, which invented this dynamic, tend to try to moderate it these days. That, if nothing else, seems likely to break Twitter.

if you look at nearly any widely-viewed tweet now, the first few thousand replies are from irrelevant, uninteresting blue-ticks. This is clearly worse than how it was before for most users.
For photobucket, the images are still there, they're not visible unless the poster is paying for them, but there are browser extension that allows to bypass that (I'm using one called Photobucket Hotlink Fix on Chrome).

Perhaps a quick dictionary lookup might help you?

Ignoring the religious definition, here's how it is typically interpreted:

"one who practices or preaches a more rigorous or professedly purer moral code than that which prevails"

My comment isn't at all about a purer moral code. It's about Hollywood's obsession with pushing more and more explicit sexual content on everyone and the objectification of women.

If you think speaking-up against objectifying women is against our prevailing moral code, well, not sure what society you have around you.

How about that scene in on of the Transformer's movies where they follow the actress (who used to be a Victoria's Secret model) up the stairs while wearing underwear with the camera firmly planted on her ass? Seriously? Why was that necessary?

It isn't about some pure moral code. It's about using women and pushing shit on people just to do it. Like I said in my comment, if the movie is about sexual matters, absolutely no problem. A blow-job scene in Battlestar Galactica? Really?
Very true, but there are full SCIFs that aren't just metal boxes. Permanent dedicated SCIF facilities (not SCIFs inside other buildings) are much more like datacenters inside without the server racks obviously. Pretty unremarkable working environment. Not uncomfortable.

But yeah the technology was crazy behind. Everyone on mission was on OLD Sun sparc boxes running Solaris in the mid-2000s.
I suggest you explain how you buy a tractor on your hypothetical free market, and explain how that hypothetical free market would solve the problem that this legislation solves.

Off-topic: Most any market is a legal fiction invented by the government. Some markets are even designed by teams of economists to reduce overheads by designing the rules of the market - say electricity markets.

The closest we have to free markets in the world are probably war zones.

You bring up "free market" all the time, yet it is an incredibly vague concept. Do you have a link that defines exactly what you mean by the term? Ideally a blogpost written by you.

Generally I feel when you invoke the words "free market" you are just calling for a beneficient perfect god to fix whatever fault you have identified.

I am all for reducing unnecessary regulations and unnecessary government overhead. However much regulation and government overhead provides necessary things that I can't buy/negotiate as an individual.
