> A browser should care about not just the users, but also the rest of the people in the ecosystem.

Hard disagree. A browser is supposed to be my user agent. It is supposed to work for me. It should not be engaging in compromises to my wishes in order to benefit others.

> Chrome should try and improve the ecosystem.

I think that there is much disagreement about what "improving the ecosystem" would look like.
FWIW, I myself have to stop myself from caring as much, otherwise I get depressed and paralyzed by decision fatigue and deadlines. When someone sets an unrealistic deadline, that must their cross to bear. I like many parts of my job, the people there are good to work with, but we are a bit one dimensional and never reserve time for anything just social or fun. It was fun for a couple of years, but now I actually miss some team building fun a couple of times every year! I dont really feel anxiety Sundays, but I do worry if there is a crisis when I'm on holiday...
OP could be in a country that has robust labour protection laws where that could be the case. If OP is in the US then you're probably right.
Okay? Just because people have different ideas of what is relevant doesn't mean it's worth downvoting. It's clearly relevant that someone with such a shitty setup is capable of doing such harm. It doesn't cost any money or competency to be a menace. Also comparing this site to reddit is against the rules if you read them.
I should have added this when I first posted, but if you are suffering loneliness, please please go out and find a community. Preferably offline, but online will work too.

Volunteering, civic organizations like the Kiwanis/Rotary, fraternal orders like the Elks/Odd Fellows, hiking clubs, meetup groups (for any interest)--these are all full of people that want to meet you and be your friend.
It's complex because 'personally identifying information' is not a thing outside the digital. You can't enforce these rights on physical businesses for exampple (e.g. can't request from your local bakery to forget that you existed)
Maybe someone can correct me, but I don't think it's a superset of Python--I don't think it will accept existing Python programs and I'm pretty sure you can't do all of the dynamic Python stuff (otherwise you would have to essentially compile/link an interpreter into your binaries giving you these super slow paths that aren't necessarily obvious when reading source code).

> Judging by what I've seen so far, it seems Modular has been able to "Rustify+Tritonify" Python code in a way that to me feels... very Pythonic.

I think it "feels Pythonic" because you're looking at Pythonic syntax. I suspect when you're banging your head against a borrow checker it will feel more like writing Rust. Like I'm pretty sure anything with a borrow checker will have to deal with lifetimes, mutable-vs-immutable references, shared mutability (cell/refcell in rust), etc; I don't know how you "Pythonify" that in any meaningful way?
I didn't even realized Thunderbird had addons. What does this one actually do?

As well, anyone have any recommendations for Thunderbird addons?

> general tax payers

FDIC isn't taxpayer funded though, right? It's funded by insurance paid by banks. Personally I haven't given a dime to a bank my whole adult life other than mortgage interest, so I'm confident saying I'm not bearing the cost of FDIC covering depositors.

> the ones that knowingly took dangerous risks got a defacto bailout

Depositors, the only ones who got "bailed out," were not informed of whatever investment choices were made by these banks. Occam's razor: Do you think they would have gotten any depositors at all if they'd advertised "There's a small chance our bank will fail and you'll lose everything if interest rates go up by about 400bps from their current all-time low"? Also these banks weren't paying like, insane 15% interest rates or something -- they may have been a bit better than average, but not in too-good-to-be-true territory.
You can put whatever you like into ChatGPT and get _something_ out, but that doesn't mean it's accurate or good advice.

Even if what you're saying is true, the skill would be in knowing whether the response is good and proper or not, which requires subject matter expertise. You'd be a fool to blindly trust output from ChatGPT right now for anything important.

Yes, its always surprising that the set of people thar believe that the populace at large should have control of policy overlaps with the set that have strong opinions about the content of policy.

I mean, except that that’s really not even a little bit surprising.

(Neither, really, is the fact—which seems more relevant here—that people raised in the context where liberal democracy is idealized often have trouble separating out the “liberal” and “democratic” elements of that system, and frequently confuse the construct as “democracy” and view democratic illiberalism as “undemocratic”.)
>These banks are counting on "Too big to fail"... and the politicians will back it. To back it they will print money, which will devalue the currency and drive up inflation.

Bailing out depositors isn't going to increase inflation - you're just giving people the same amount of money they already have. The big problem with it is that it prevents the natural process of wealth destruction from occurring, so it may just drag out inflation for longer.
In this case it's not enough just to be GDPR compliant, the website admin has to have Data processing agreement with the CDN, which you won't get from a free CDN such as JSdelivr.

Excited to see WebGPU support for this become stable with three.js! They've been working on it in a beta-state, but I foresee huge perf improvements once it's widely accepted on the major browsers.

At least subreddits are still searchable. I'm running into a lot of instances now of forums/subreddits turning mostly into Discord servers. It sucks when all of the troubleshooting and repair instructions get moved into a Discord server and become unsearchable unless you join discord.

Video game producers are starting up fan discords that also have the troubleshooting/bug reports channels for the game on them. Video game mod communities are moving to discord.

Its going to really suck when a few years go by and a company closes or moves onto a new game and shuts down their discord. A lot of community sourced info is going to be flushed down the drain if people don't archive it.

I helped build out, then worked at a cannabis extraction facility...

I worked with MANY growers from mendo, and had to work out the tax implications from plant to extraction - which gets really weird when a Co-OP of growers each brought in their harvest, to combine together so they could exrtract from their total combined batch - but each grower needed to know what their tax burdon was on the final product.

That was a nightmare to figure out (at the time, we basically came out with ~$1.75 in taxes per gram of 99% pure oil)

My friend, and immediate next door neighbor is the District Attorney (DA) to the DCC (department of cannibis control) we have talked about this a lot - and he knows what a shit-show the california tax code is on weed...

So much so that many small growers had to sell, and some larger growers/extractors are also selling because they lost all margins.

Dont even get me started on METRC

but at the end of the day - this all boils down to big agra and big capital squeezing out all the small players through political lobbying and corrupt politicians, and large industry such as Constellation Brands (alcohol) making huge strides into the cannabis market.

Constellation was coming in and trying to low ball small ops to sell their ops and licenses, and then paying off/lobbying politicians to make the process of getting your cultivation, distribution, etc licenses extremely hard for a typicla tradition weed farmer who has been growing for decades but now he has to follow big agra style red-tape he is not used to.

Then, on top of that - when co-op growers would combine material for extraction, or pre-rolls - they still had to be tested AFTER the extraction and if the oil came back 'dirty' (had pesticides in it) the batch was useless and had to be sold on the BM (black market) at a much reduced price and these guys would lose all of their annual revenue in that one extraction -- I saw a guy get so infuriated, I wouldnt be surprised if he killed himself when he got home.

It was a wild ride.
I think the parent comment is about the likelihood of recovering enough money to make the exercise worthwhile, rather than the propriety of getting ripped off.
Worth reading Felleisen’s paper “on the expressive power of programming languages” (or watch this talk https://youtu.be/43XaZEn2aLc) which argues that if a language A has a feature that would require global refactoring to implement in language B, then A is more expressive than B.
But see the section "Intentional differences from Python", which is after your quote,

https://docs.modular.com/mojo/why-mojo.html#intentional-diff...

> our approach to compatibility is two fold:

> 1. We utilize CPython to run all existing Python3 code “out of the box” without modification and use its runtime, unmodified, for full compatibility with the entire ecosystem.

> 2. We will provide a mechanical migrator that provides very good compatibility for people who want to move Python code to Mojo.

> Together, this allows Mojo to integrate well in a mostly-CPython world, but allows Mojo programmers to be able to progressively move code (a module or file at a time) to Mojo. This approach was used and proved by the Objective-C to Swift migration that Apple performed.

Maybe the long-term goal is to try to make it a true superset, but it sounds like the detailed plan is more practical, to basically provide a "Python-next" language, like Swift for Objective-C.
Yes, when I switch into training mode, the fat melts off in short order (I've never accumulated more than 20 pounds of unwanted mass, and when I did it was following a broken leg and 2 years spent largely sedentary)

In the past I've toned my training down due to exhaustion, not from the physical output but from having to constantly be shoving calories down my throat.
it would be interesting to have more information about the LLM that Inflection is using, for example number of parameters.
Man I love this !!! :)
If those "market prices" are not enough to pay for somebody's housing, then they are not truly "market prices". Nobody is going to accept employment at that rate since they can't live off it. So it's not actually the "market price". It only is if there are recent deals made at that price.

It's like saying "well I'm only asking for market prices" when offering somebody to sell some stock to for 100 USD even though they and everybody around them only want to pay 50 USD. That doesn't make 100 USD the "market price". Only if you've seen some recent trades for 100 USD, then it's the "market price".

It would even be less wrong to remove trailing slashes instead, because it's a path segment separator and there's no segment here after the last the slash.

It's a rather odd choice to be adding slashes.
> edits them and saves a blank string, or whatever string you choose), then deletes it

My account is 15 years old and I've been manually doing this for some time now.

A few years ago, I had a comment get upvoted to the top of a popular thread in a major sub, but it had some mildly identifiable information about myself, so I deleted it.

A few months later, Reddit had this personal "year in review" page you could click through, shamelessly similar to Spotify's year in review (I have't seen it in recent years so I think they stopped doing it).

For "most popular comment" surprise, surprise, it was the comment I deleted, there in full text.

After this I started using the method described above: editing every comment I make, saving a blank string, and then deleting. I usually do this once a week. It's tedious, but at least I can reasonably assume my comments are actually deleted.
Not sure how that's a good response. Nobody is this thread is saying you should be forced into not using Apple phones.
Yes, I do have a citation : https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2931407/#!po=8....

Every extra kg of muscle is estimated to contribute 21kcal/day to the RMR. If you put on, say, 15kg of muscle over a few years (quite doable if you are very sedentary and have low muscle mass), that's an extra 300kcal/day. Add in 30 mins of biking a day, and say 100 cal from strength training on average, that's a good 600-700 calories per day!
It's complicated: the presence of a red-light camera decreases the rate of right-angle crashes, but increases the rate of rear-end crashes - people about to miss the light will stomp on their brakes instead of scooting on through. It's not clear there is any benefit, other than to the profits of the private companies typically contracted to operate the cameras.

The tone of this comment is completely out of line. We probably disagree on many things, yet your comment makes sense to me. So does the comment you're replying to.

It's not clear it's asinine: the cost of trying to recoup money from an entity that is completely out of money can very easily become not worth it.
Firstly, I wish you luck. It's an ambitious undertaking to get something better adopted by the industry and a healthy dose of luck can only help.

But, having spent the better part of an hour trying to understand your proposal, I have to say that it isn't something that solves a proportionally sized problem.

Modified html with added tags for conditional processing has been done to death. I've done it. At least five former colleagues of mine has done it. At the end of it you'll come to the same conclusion as we, and everyone else, did and abandon it.

Secondly, this seems like a very overengineered solution, and it's not clear what the problem is. Your project will end up trying to be all things to all people because no one can tell at a glance what problem it should be used for.

If you're targeting a problem at a higher level then there's very little need to invent new low-level components; the existing ones should mostly be fine.

To be honest, if the browser allowed s-expressions and specified the evaluation of them, most current frameworks (and JSON itself) would be made redundant.
Looking at your pricing, is that per seconds of GPU usage or per total seconds the app is running?

Eg. might have only a few minutes of usage in an hour and the rest of the time is spent waiting for requests. How's that billed?
Where I live (Ostrava, a heavy industry city which expanded massively during the 19th and early 20th century), there are some worker colonies left, which were built by the mining and steelworking companies around 100-120 years ago.

The houses are somewhat modest, but low-key beautiful (redbrick architecture similar to England and very rare in Czechia), and they were real houses, suitable for families and situated in a walking distance from the workplaces, schools, churches and marketplaces.

It seems to me that building them was a fairly good idea.

And there's an entire section that argues that git becoming entrenched as the standard is part of the problem with GitHub. That's what I was replying to.

> git itself, while not owned by GitHub, is even more popular. This is largely because of GitHub’s popularity and in spite of git’s poor UX. It would be nice to move beyond git one day and have a better experience for managing complex codebases, and not on GitHub’s timeline.

> I want to underscore this because I think it’s important: git and GitHub’s symbiosis are holding us back as an industry.

> Other version control software exists that doesn’t need a separate company to make the code accessible from the web or makes dealing with conflicts easier. We as an industry cannot benefit from these alternatives if we continue to use GitHub this heavily.

The trendy (meaning both that it is hyped and that it follows the trajectory of the trend you identified) answer is serverless/scale-to-zero (Lambda, Cloud Run, etc.).

That said, Lambda has been out for a while and seems to have avoided taking over the world. Generic vCPU-hours are so cheap now though that it isn't compelling from a a cost perspective (serverless will either cost you more at the high end of the scale, or else save you a few bucks a month on your idle instances at the low end). Also, the developer experience isn't as good yet IMO. Thinks like LocalStack help, but it's still not natural-feeling to deploy a big application this way. (scale-to-zero it's great for small side projects though -- I have a few apps in Cloud Run that cost me like a nickel a month, a few dollars if I have a good month in terms of traffic).
Initially the blog post mentions all kind of analysis that can be done including performance but later on it is mostly about security/threat analysis. Can I use this to find why my programs have such different execution times on two different machines with practically the same hardware? One is stock macOS the other corporate managed.
Well, the evidence is pretty thin (and people have been looking hard, everywhere), and isn't necessarily even about the same person. Strong claims require strong evidence. If that is consensus on the historical existence of Biblical Jesus (because that's what the discussion is about, not some random dude who happened to be named Yeshua/Joshua/Jesus), it would make one lose faith. In history as an academic discipline.
The sibling comment has the right of it from snarf21. Rarely does a job bring you into a state of self actualization. If it does, you're very fortunate!

I'm coming up on my second decade in the tech industry, and all I can say is you gotta find out what fills you up and do that outside of work like the others have said. I started out in the game industry thinking I had finally arrived, but quickly burned out and moved into web dev for most of my career.

I find working on pixel art, music, and tech in concert very fulfilling, but I don't think I could ever cede this to a company for marketing/support/etc. or turn it into some sort of income to pay my bills. Ultimately I set clear boundaries around work for delivering on my workload inside normal business hours and outside of that is fully my time.
So sick of Adams. There have been some legendary lightweight NYC Mayors (and some heavyweights as well of course) but in modern times Adams takes the cake.
The loan will usually be at a fixed-rate, while the interest paid on your deposits will fluctuate. So there is still risk that your net interest margin will go negative at some point.
It's touching how the author grapples with her own struggles to write and make money, in parallel to Borges working away before he wrote anything great. I see in the footer it says she is working on her first novel, as of 2016, and based on her website it doesn't seem like it's written yet. I hope it emerges one day and it's brilliant. Good luck....
Yes, it's definitely lagging the CUDA ecosystem. I did a write-up a few weeks back on the various approaches people are taking to do inference in the browser (WASM, WebGL, WebGPU): https://digest.browsertech.com/archive/browsertech-digest-th...

Matt Rickard also had a short write-up recently: https://matt-rickard.com/implementing-llms-in-the-browser

My take is that we probably won't see much training done on WebGPU, because training is done upfront and it makes sense to standardize on a single GPU vendor and use an interface that can squeeze all the juice out of those GPUs (CUDA). But for inference and run-time computations, it could be very interesting to take a model trained with CUDA/PyTorch and export it (maybe with Apache TVM or tensorflow.js) into WebGPU that can run on end-user devices.
I am currently lying in hospital after a so far 7 night stay. I am post chemo for Hairy Cell Leukaemia treatment that commenced 17 days ago. I am doing well enough but it's a struggle. ( I previously was successfully treated for the same chronic condition 9 years ago). My normal weight is around 80kg (I'm a 59yo male). I think I got down to 79kg prior to treatment this time - we actively sought exercise in the prior weeks through bushwalking, walking my dog and just general DIY stuff at home. I certainly this chemo campaign a lot fitter than the first time.

Post the first 5 days of chemo this time I dropped a kilo - it's hard to maintain appetite. Managing the fever that got me hospital admission meant that I have to take in a lot of fluid via IV. I reached a quite bloated 83.5kg only 2 days ago. I then shed 1.7kg in 1 day (no vomiting involved) - I'm sure this is pretty hard to achieve through normal gym work. My goal yesterday for today's weigh-in is 81kg. Though my nurse just told me she administered 500ml (so 0.5kg overnight). I'm guessing being down to 81.4kg is more realistic now. I couldn't exercise much yesterday as I was also taking onboard a weekly chemo infusion. Hopefully I'll be able to do some laps of the hospital ward balcony with my trolley as I did two days ago. I definitely exercise in hospital (walking) as much as my capacity allows.
