Corbin fiber != co2. Carbon fiber is unburnt carbon. It is pretty heat resistant, but is still flammable under the right conditions. I’m not sure how you would use that for sequestration. Ideally you would want the co2 to bind to a solid chemically so you get better density of co2 storage. I suppose you could just fill cavities in a brick with co2 gas, but that would store very little carbon dioxide and runs the risk of leaking back out.
WASM has memory, and any native code compiled to WASM will allocate on WASM memory. CheerpJ's runtime is written in C++, which when compiled to WASM knows how to allocate memory, so there's no reason why direct buffers won't work.

"Don't go any place where they're headed up."

So, most place since the pandemic?

Crime rates fluctuates and have local variances. Again, a single point of comparison is not a good indicator of whether to move to some place or not. Even within the US you can move from a high crime area to a low crime area. There have been some articles on here recently about celebrities doing that.
Your verb tenses don’t match.
It's not how AI works though - there is no rearrangement, and I think even most artists learned that it works differently. At the initial days of GPT people thought it actually copies and pastes content from the internet, but by now most people grasp that it's unique pieces of work that are being created.

> Through a series of experiments, the researchers found that T cells could indeed self-activate by puckering their cell membrane inwards to allow the B7 protein and the CD28 receptor to bind to each other

Very cool, but doesn't this imply that T-cells can also activate other T-cells that are nearby? (in trans)

Edit: in the actual paper they said "We generated reporter Jurkat lines and Raji APCs stably expressing CD80, CD86, or neither (Figure S2A), enabling coculture conditions in which the B7 ligand was presented to CD28 in cis, in trans, or both. To minimize potential trans-B7:CD28 interactions between T cells, we cultured Jurkat reporter cells with 100-fold excess of Raji APCs"

However, the point remains that in vivo, T-cells would be able to do both the cis and trans activation. Which is still novel, I think?
It's really not that good. On my Mazda, Apple CarPlay won't even let me change albums while I'm driving. Which encourages me to then pick up my phone, take my eyes off the road to unlock it with my face, and fumble around with the music app until I get to what I want. Mazda even disables the touch screen while driving, forcing you to use their navigation wheel, which is supposedly safer! So I don't understand why CarPlay still tries to keep me from doing the thing it was designed to do.
Correct. It also doesn't interfere with peoples' sleep, which is why it's polite to use the red LED on your headlamp when walking through a campsite at night.
At first I was excited to see Logic pro on the Ipad but as soon as I saw subscription my excitement instantly died. I'll just stick with Garageband on the Ipad for my basic music needs.

Same thing happened with Adobe, I was a die hard Premiere pro fan and now I haven't used it in years since I moved to Davinci Resolve all because Adobe went all in on subs.
> Are we reaching the point of diminishing returns of what a reasonably sized (for our current rockets) space telescope can see?

In terms of sensitivity, yes. Collecting more light needs more light-collecting material, which ultimately means more mirror, or detector, surface area. Little more gain to be had there. We're not going to see much more that's really, really faint.

But we're just getting started with resolution. Apertures can be synthesized in software. Theoretically, a handful of space telescopes, orbiting the Sun, linked together, could have an angular resolution equivalent to that of a physical telescope with a mirror the same diameter of the orbit. Not the light sensitivity (since the "mirror" is mostly empty space), but it would have the ability to distinguish between two points like such a giant telescope would.

This has been done with radio astronomy already; things have just recently gotten fast enough for aperture synthesis at infrared wavelengths; optical is probably not too far behind.

/r/programming would be the peer forum in Reddit, but they keep quiet about this subject for the most part, I'd assume that moderators don't want to handle the hot potato that threads on this would be.

/r/technology is where most of the discussion happens, it's full of angry and confused working class people who were already feeling squeezed by the US economic and political landscape, and lash out at Big Tech CEOs and "tech bros", it's not a place to have debate.
Not yet, but there will be. Which is really why Universal Music is shitting bricks. ("If anyone is going to make money pushing formulaic crap, it's going to be us, dammit.")
Some folks really love what they do, and being given the keys to the castle to do what they love the way they want to do it is an awfully enticing opportunity.
This touches on something I've been mulling for a while when I read twitter. There's an entire ecosystem of self-proclaimed successful entrepreneurs who parlay that into various fabulous claims. But for me it's always been difficult to isolate luck. In the early days of facebook there were a dozen social media companies that could have become The Future, and there's probably hundreds of people who were around early enough that if they'd been on the winning team they'd have had atleast tens of millions of dollars to show for it. Did they make the difference between Facebook being the winning platform? Maybe? Probably not. Atleast not everyone at facebook in the early days could have been the difference between facebook being a billion dollar behemoth or not. So it seems to me there are atleast some multi-millionaire tech bros who are there entirely by luck. And if you made $10m, $20m, $100m and had early Facebook on your CV? Well you can spend the rest of your days waxing lyrical about how astute and innovative you are and how you're the master of the universe. Hell, you can set up your own VC gig and start putting some of that reputation to work.

Are you any good at anything? Probably not. But you're not going to take 100% losses on everything and people are going to pay you a decent chunk to manage their money and get in on those investments that you - a genius thought leader - can identify as being the next sliced bread. At the end of the day even if it goes badly you can probably dump your shit investments on dumb retail investors. You're never going to be broke, and no one knows if you have $10m in the bank or $100m.

I guess the only thing you can't do is start a podcast where you're loudly stupid every week, that would be a real dumb move, but other than that based on a little luck you can coast for the rest of your life.
There is a great app for iPad called LumaFusion, which is very similar to Final Cut. I tried using an iPad Pro for a couple of weeks when it came out, to see if it can replace a laptop or desktop.

Biggest problem was ergonomics. So incredibly bad ergonomics to work on an iPad, even with the pen. Impossible to work without strain in neck and arm.

So I'm back to Macbook and I will never again attempt to edit video on an iPad.
I mean, the OP was clearly referring to music composition:

Show HN: LLM, a Rust Crate/CLI for CPU Inference of LLMs (LLaMA, GPT-NeoX, etc.)
G'day, HN!

I'm one of the maintainers of `llm`. I've been working alongside a trusty group of contributors to bring this project to life, and we're now at a point where we're ready to share it with the world.

Large language models (LLMs) are taking the computing world by storm due to their emergent abilities that allow them to perform a wide variety of tasks, including translation, summarization, code generation, and even some degree of reasoning. However, the ecosystem around LLMs is still in its infancy, and it can be difficult to get started with these models.

`llm` is a one-stop shop for running inference on large language models (of the kind that power ChatGPT and more); we provide a CLI and a Rust crate for running inference on these models, all entirely open-source. The crate can be embedded in your own projects, allowing you to easily integrate LLMs into your own applications.

We hope that `llm` can help to alleviate some of the pain points that users face when working with LLMs. Our goal is to build a robust solution for inferencing on LLMs that users can rely on for their projects, so that we can provide a moment of peace in the chaos of the LLM ecosystem.

At present, we are powered by `ggml` (similar to `llama.cpp`), but we intend to add additional backends in the near-future. This means that we currently only support CPU inference, but we have several ideas in mind for how to add GPU support, as well as other accelerators.

We're looking for feedback on the project, and we'd love to hear from you! If you're interested in contributing, please reach out to us on our Discord (https://discord.gg/YB9WaXYAWU), or post an issue on our GitHub (https://github.com/rustformers/llm/issues).
High cost of launch prevents economical repair (especially in high orbits), which requires extreme reliability. It also creates incentive for extreme weight reduction. Both these drive up the cost of a satellite. At low launch cost, there's no reason a space telescope should be much more expensive than a terrestrial telescope of the same size.
And the recession hasn't even started yet. Going to be brutal.
no one said that was the ONLY way. Just like college isn't for everyone, nor should everyone expect to go.

But i do think it would be a better country with forced service between highschool and potential higher education.
Sure... but conversely, if you keep dividing up and analyzing in different ways, eventually you'll get a p<0.05 result.

This is why you "call your shot" before beginning the analysis. Otherwise, people will be suspicious you just jiggered things around until you found something.
I agree and so do the people who run the Reading and Writing Workshop!

What is missing from the criticism is any sort of purpose or ideal for education in the first place.

Literacy starts with phonics but it must never end there!

It’s sort of like bikeshedding. I guess we can all agree that, yes, we use a phonetic alphabet and learning how to sound things out is going to be a valuable lifelong skill. It’s also hilarious when the technique is applied to names from other languages.

But that’s not… reading.
Actually it does.

Vitamin D is fat soluble, and thus you can overdose on it. High dose frequently is not recommended, and most high dose supplements will have warning labels about vitaminosis.
All large organizations are fundamentally pathological, and even smaller ones will have their own querks and disfunctions.

Valve has gotten a lot of attention, and a lot of flak, over its flat structure and "drivers", but I'm not sure that's particularly worse than some of the atrociously broken engineering practices I've seen at F500 companies.

This recent article suggests other factors might be more important to adolescent mental health:

Time spent on social media among the least influential factors in adolescent mental health: preliminary results from a panel network analysis
https://www.nature.com/articles/s44220-023-00063-7

> There is growing concern about the role of social media use in the documented increase of adolescent mental health difficulties. However, the current evidence remains complex and inconclusive. While increasing research on this area of work has allowed for notable progress, the impact of social media use within the complex systems of adolescent mental health and development is yet to be examined. The current study addresses this conceptual and methodological oversight by applying a panel network analysis to explore the role of social media on key interacting systems of mental health, wellbeing and social life of 12,041 UK adolescents. Here we find that, across time, estimated time spent interacting with social media predicts concentration problems in female participants. However, of the factors included in the current network, social media use is one of the least influential factors of adolescent mental health, with others (for example, bullying, lack of family support and school work dissatisfaction) exhibiting stronger associations. Our findings provide an important exploratory first step in mapping out complex relationships between social media use and key developmental systems and highlight the need for social policy initiatives that focus on the home and school environment to foster resilience.
I participated in the long and storied tradition of child labour to buy things I wanted.

If you didn't have any money to spend until halfway though college other than a surplus of $5/month, than by saving for $200 you likely would have doubled your disposable income and you would have left school with a Final Cut Pro license on top of that. I'm sure kids will buy it, and they're going to be worse for it than when they paid $200 for a license.

In any case, I can't emphasise enough how much paying a monthly subscription over a one time fee does not help the poor in general, at best it allows for you to shift expenses a few years down the road with low interest if you're some sort of temporarily embarrassed millionaire, which isn't the same thing as helping poor kids other than maybe some small niche. Being poor doesn't mean you should do more $5/month subscriptions, it means you can't get away with them nearly as much without getting punished by economic reality.
There's a distinct difference between asking somebody to write/copy/show a complex concept and understanding it. What I don't understand (get it?) is how people are still conflating LLM's behavior with true understanding of concepts when it's obviously not the same thing.
Your problem isn't CarPlay, it's Mazda's integration.
Yeah yeah this old excuse. It's conveniently unquantifiable, uncomparable to the alternative, and obfuscated by not knowing how much they're really worth and therefore what's reasonable to pay them. In addition there are plenty of non- working royals on the gravy train happily benefitting from their accident of birth without lifting a finger.
Or you should have 2 channels of updates.

1 for Alpha/dev/beta testing, whatever, and 1 for "stable".

Allow users the option of being beta testers and getting updates every 3 hours, and if they do not opt in, they're put in the weekly update "stable" group that gets the most reliable and solid but up-to-date version of the app at that time.
Downvoted for pretty much the truth.

I think it's a little silly people pointing to the extremely limited "discretion" police have and saying they should have used it to ignore the law. That's not how police discretion works and in modern policing it hardly exists alongside it's counterpoint which is : neglect of duty.

Policing is not a job I'd want to do. Damned if you do, damned if you don't; and everyone knows how to do it better than the people actually doing it. But those people given the chance wouldn't do any better.

Do you work in the field of space? I don't mean to be dismissive but claiming that space telescopes cost about the same as terrestrial scopes if you subtract out the launch costs and can maintain them with crews, isn't really consistent with what I've heard from space telescope astronomers.
> Asking me not to give a copy to Joe after telling me I can give a copy to whomever I want is unreasonable.

This is a repetition of your claim, not an argument for it. Counterpoint: It's entirely reasonable to ask you not to give a copy to Joe.
For the example you give, in Cantonese they're dou6 and dok6, respectively.

The 3/6 tones in Cantonese and ˋ (4th, falling tone) in Mandarin are the "departing" tone, which comes from the departing tone in Middle Chinese, which I believe comes from the -s ending in Old Chinese.
> People are not cattle. You can't just tweak their pen until they do what you want. They will dissassemble and modify it to accomodate their needs.

Walkable cities and natural density curves have been around for 1000s of years, if anything car-centric society is the tweak not the other way around. This form of urban development (including cars) currently exists throughout Europe and is by most measures very successful so I'm not sure why people feel the need to consternate about it as if its never been tried.
No, but the mass and volume constraints are. See how much effort went into making JWST fold up and how hard they had to try to get the mirrors to be light enough.

"Technology cannot protect you when your government is trying to push intrusive and oppressive laws."

Rubbish. The Onion Router (TOR) is specifically built for people trying to evade authoritarian governments with "intrusive and oppressive laws". GPG. E2EE. Technology can't _guarantee_ that an authoritarian government won't sniff you out, but it can at least partially protect you.

"also vote out those politicians and parties who are trying to push these laws at the local, state, and national level."

That's not realistic for a number of reasons.

In the US, almost all politicians want to create a surveillance state -- they just disagree on who they want to target. And lots of voters support Their Side on this.

Putting aside partisanship, voters overwhelmingly support laws targeting Sex Offenders, including mass surveillance ostensibly for hunting down the witches.

But let's say that we magically vote out all of the authoritarians tomorrow -- what about in two years? 10 years? 20 years? One of the issues with this data collection is that it is _forever_. In 20 years, the government can go to Google and ask them what you were doing today, and Google has that because the data lasts _forever_.

So, yes, we should target authoritarian politicians and vote them out. We should also persuade the populace that mass surveillance is always a bad idea. We should avoid companies that are deliberately surveilling us. And finally, we should specifically use technology to protect us from surveillance, because the first three things aren't very realistic.
"«Reviving»"? They are there.

eudaímonia: "a good spirit took you" - it is like saying, "a lucky star".

aretḗ: it is in the "arts", and in the idea of áriston, of the áristos ("aristocracy"). The "arya" is the noble because "artist" - That with a Goal ("artha").

phrónēma: that energetic inside - "frenetic".

kléos: today it would be "inclitus", but for some reason the term (which is present in some post-Latin languages) did not reach English. Edit: I am surprised (did not notice), the root of 'kléos' is the same of 'listen'.

And so on for the rest (still reading the list).
WWII (and WWI) could have been avoided by diplomatic negotiation, certainly. Also, very few people would argue that these wars were related to climatic conditions in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

However, from this point forward, the trajectory of climate change is locked in for the next 100 years, and even a heroic global effort to eliminate fossil fuels in the next few decades will only have the effect of not making it even worse for people 100 years from now. Practically, this means that as many resources will have to be devoted to adaptation to new climate conditions as to transitioning off fossil fuels.

Notably, the traditional political messaging claims, e.g. "we're facing a climate crisis and we need to take action now!" just don't match up with scientific reality, in the sense that 'taking action now' won't really have any noticeable effect over the next 50 years at least.

Political arguments for renewables like 'cleaning up the air and water' or 'ending dependency on foreign suppliers' would probably be more motivating than 'fixing the climate', because the tipping point has come and gone.
Small org + a huge and VERY responsive -- often negatively -- user base.

They're not much different, they just run on a different time scale.

Even if your same application continues to work forever, one of the following will happen:

- Complementary software evolves. E.g.: My old photo editor doesn't support new image compression formats

- Alternatives become more attractive. E.g.: I paid for a copy of Sublime Text but now I prefer VSCode because of its additional functionality, my old copy of Photoshop CS2 works fine but the new one will save me time during XYZ workflow compared to the old version.

- The utility of the application is exhausted. E.g.: I already played this single player game 10 times and it's not fun anymore, my copy of Final Cut Pro 6 can't produce 4K HDR movies that my customers demand.
That's where in-space assembly comes in.
