Not sure what's silly about that. If I'm on the hotel wifi I'd rather my neighbor not be able to eavesdrop on the person phishing me.

So this is QUIC, right?
That's the nice thing about this, you don't need a dozen instances of diva for a live set. If you're traveling and using this, you can freeze the tracks. Otherwise if you're at home you can plug in to your real computer and run as many instances of Diva at Divine quality as you want.

But also this likely won't support Diva, probably just Operator, Analog, etc.

What's "most modern languages"? Go is better than Python's native tooling (only Poetry and other similar 3rd party tools compare). Javascript I find unruly and fragmented. "Modern" C++ is still a nightmare.

Java I haven't touched but I don't exactly hear rave reviews or angry rants about, so I expect it's middling.

Rust, scala, and haskell are definitely better experiences, but they are definitely in the minority in terms of industry usage.

Go is not "quite bad", in fact far from it. I'd say it's better than average.

The paper models a 40 t lander. That's roughly Blue Moon. The sum of all Chinese probes landed on the moon is far less than that, and I wouldn't be surprised if the sum of all Soviet Luna landers was also less than that.
Would someone do me the kindness of explaining (a little more) how this works?

It looks like you can ask a question and the model will use its combined knowledge of all your documents to figure out the answer. It looks like it isn't fine-tuned or trained on all the documents, is that right? How is each document turned into an embedding, and then how does the model figure out which documents to consult to answer the question?
You're right in a way, I really don't care what AWS does under the hood. The bigger issue is that I don't want any avoidable discrepancies between what I'm testing with on local and what I'm deploying. Obviously it's never 1:1 because my local isn't an AWS cloud infrastructure, but up til now the container engine isn't a variable.
That was my point. It obviously doesn't get you out of the bad action you did.... But bad actions don't always come from nowhere. People are flawed.

> I feel strongly that these changes in my bodily function are affecting my mood more than the reverse.

Depression isn’t just a “mood” disorder. Everything you described (headaches, digestion, hormonal effects, alertness to touch) is controlled by your nervous system and modulated or controlled by your brain.

It doesn’t make sense to separate them and try to draw an arrow of causality because they’re one in the same.

Medical science has known this for a very long time, which is why standard depression inventories include questions about things like gastrointestinal problems.

Interestingly enough, many SSRI-treated patients don’t notice their mood improvements very much because the changes are gradual over many months. Usually if you interview their family members they’ll say the change is more dramatic than the patient self-rates.
Yes, there is active research underway in using other satellite constellations as a backup to GPS. The Iridium constellation is in LEO with only a small number of spares, so it's even less survivable than Navstar (GPS). Starlink may be a better long term option because there are just a lot more satellites and it's easier to replace attrition losses. In theory, manufacturing and launch capacity could be scaled up to the level where replacements could be sent up faster than the Chinese can shoot them down.

I am not at all convinced that the measly 1-4% performance we'll manage to eek out of this is worth the effort and complexity.
FWIW, I recently replaced "Pianoteq license and a good controller" with a Nord. I've found that the friction involved in getting the laptop warm and Pianoteq started/running, while relatively low, is still enough that I didn't often just sit down and play. The Nord is a simple appliance and is always there inviting me to practice.

I still have the laptop and Pianoteq and use them with the Nord as a controller sometimes, when I want to work with digital music. But most of the time, the laptop stays shut, and I've found I am able to more deeply engage with the music that way.
My understanding is that there's been a big rise in mental illness, anxiety and stress in general, over the last 10 yeats or so. And its true across professions, ages, race, gender or sexuality.

A lot of factors pushing for it:

1. the general madness and chaos of the Trump presidency ("When I wake up in the morning will I learn Trump has launched nukes at North Korea? Or vice versa?" etc etc, ad nauseum for 4 years)

2. COVID lockdowns and economic swings

3. apparent explosive rise in gun mass shootings -- "Will I or my loved ones be next?"

4. social media's toxic effect on peace of mind, in general

5. active efforts by various actors to spread lies, sow tensions and trigger violence (eg. stochastic terrorism)

6. carbon climate crisis... a biggie

Therefore I've been building a sci-fi post-apoc, educational game lately [SB: see below] which happens to take as its premises that:

7. humanity (or at least the US) fails to save democracy

8. humanity fails to act boldly enough or fast enough to save us from the worst of climate change's most dystopic effects

9. and therefore, due to all of above, there's a yet further MASSIVE rise in mental health disorders (all the way up to full blown de facto "insanity") -- eg. like many of the survivors you see in the Mad Max films

From a purely entertainment standpoint I loved watching films like Idiocracy and Mad Max Fury Road. As a person in the real world and a patriotic citizen I don't want to see us descend to that level of insanity, struggle and suffering. Our existing mental health systems are already inadequate today. If we start losing more doctors, nurses & therapists to anxiety/depression or over-work fatigue (speaking in broad terms), and also scientists, engineers, teachers, etc, then it will get MUCH worse.

Does this mean Apple has given up trying to design/manufacturer their own modem/radio antenna?

Reminder, Apple:

- Paid $4.5B to Qualcomm to settle the lawsuit & gain modem/radio patents

- Paid $1B to Intel to acquire their radio division

All under the plan to build their own SoC modem/radio.

This would be a significant course change in Apple's plans if this means they have given up on this plan and will instead use Broadcom.
vendoring is a bit of project smell, but for large teams it removes the confusion of who has what version of a dependency

unfortunately most teams don't schedule a periodic `go mod tidy` so you just end up with ancient deps

most people never read the code of the deps they pull in, so I don't think vendoring provides any security assurances
Interesting. Does it define a wire protocol or is the interface implicit to the client library.

> You can run Stable Diffusion and LLaMA locally on a MacBook Pro (with Automatic1111 and llama.cpp

Apple themselves directly ported stable diffusion to metal long ago. You can run LLaMA through Vulkan or Metal with Apache TVM, on an iPhone GPU, though this is admitedly very new.

Honestly, one of the biggest issues in AI land is discoverability and the snowball effect. People tend to congregate around the Nvidia focused, pytorch eager mode projects, which sucks all the oxygen out of the room and leaves very interesting ports to languish.

Well, HTTP 3 is standardized off the initial QUIC implementation (UDP), yes.

Update: I guess, technically, HTTP 3 is the protocol built on top of the QUIC protocol.
You can't build 2x the generation capacity (which is what you're suggesting) at economic prices anyone would today consider reasonable. Remember you have to be able to cover 100% of demand from non-renewable sources. It's not just the gas plants, it's the pipeline network, the gas wells, the LNG import terminals, the ships, the whole shebang. It's extremely expensive to have it available but not actually use it.

> Average webdev tomorrow writes Python for a reasonably fast Python interpreter implemented in the browser with WASM

Python is just as hand-wavy as Javascript, so I fail to see the win here. At least C/C++/Rust/Go give you some neat guarantees, but you lose all the velocity JS gives you. I mean, pyscript doesn't even support hot reloading out of the box, but yeah, I'm sure it's definitely the future. Besides, you could probably just write the interpreter in vanilla JS and it would be comparably fast (at least in Chrome), so WASM is completely superfluous.

A lot of people don't earn enough money to care. Just as most people don't understand how their TV, smartphone or kidney works they don't need to know how the banking industry works.

Government puts the deposit guarantee at 250k. That covers the vast majority of society and prevents riots in the streets.
I don't know how you can realistically look at this without thinking of the "I never thought leopards would eat MY face!!" meme.

Politics matters. Voters in rural areas (generally, of course) have consistently voted against policies that would help support health care in these rural locations, such voting in politicians who are staunchly against Obamacare, who refuse any expansion or even adequate support for Medicaid, and who enact policies that put doctors at risk of prison for doing their jobs. Just look at all the recent news coverage of all the maternity wards in Idaho that are closing because Obgyns don't want to work there anymore.

Sorry, my empathy at this point is fully tapped out for people who delight in cutting off their nose to spite their face.
I wouldn't say this is a detractor, based on the comment below what you quoted:

> The author of this application is not actively developing any new major features (only small fixes)
> New releases are published regularly depending on the contributions made by the community
> Pull requests for new features and bug fixes are accepted as long as the guidelines are followed

So it's more that no new features will be added by the main dev however it is still maintained. Other software like this exists (Miniflux for example) and they work well.

A Project doesn't need a constant influx of new features to be useful or even maintained.

EDIT: Turns out it's made by the miniflux dev which I respect.
One thing for profiling HTTP services specifically, you can attach handlers for pprof data easily [0]. I usually only mount the routes if I've set a flag for it, usually something to indicate I want to run in debug mode. This does everything "for free", i.e. it starts profiling memory and CPU and then exposes the data on routes for you to visualize in the browser.

I don't understand how Java can get this right with Maven Central and co but newer languages can't.

Having a slight barrier to entry which is essentially "you must learn why signing is important for users of your library and this is how to do it", a) really isn't that bad and b) doesn't result in less quality packages being uploaded c) if it acts like any sort of filter that seems to be a good thing.

Maven Central isn't short of high quality packages and no high quality OSS Java libraries are missing so the filter aspect isn't culling anything important.

Java, Apt, RPM, etc all have this and have absolutely gigantic numbers of packages so the argument that it's too hard really just doesn't hold water.

Doing so requires reading/understanding these ~3 pages of docs: https://central.sonatype.org/publish/requirements/gpg/
Hardly always their playbook, they rarely make big acquisitions like that. Siri back in the day, Beats, P.A. Semi, are the most notable acquisitions.
I wonder if it would be possible to come up with a dementia tattoo that could be phone-scanned. Put it on the hand so in almost all situations it would be exposed. You see someone with the tattoo that's apparently without a caretaker--scan the tattoo, the caregiver gets the location where it was scanned and if the person is reported missing the scanner is told they're missing.

Obviously, a privacy issue but I would think the safety aspects would outweigh that.
Or add an atmosphere to the moon. Even a tenuous one would prevent this.

There's also things that don't exist until people have words for them, where the very act of speaking it brings about its existence. It seems equally likely that consciousness wouldn't have been self-evident without someone being primed to perceive it as a category.
Except - that’s not a winning point here. There is no expectation that people not be flawed - there is the expectation that you don’t drive drunk. That’s what the law requires. Similarly, the law doesn’t require you to be perfect and not have flaws in the office, the law requires you to not sexually harass people in the office. It’s pretty simple but you manage to repeatedly try and make it seem complicated by bringing in irrelevant factors like whether people are flawed or not - there was never any question as to whether or not people are flawed.
ELRepo has upstream kernels for all Enterprise Linux compatibles.

Also, the Rocky Linux SIG/Kernel group may even provide an alternative ISO(s) with those upstream kernels at periodic intervals. If you (or anyone else) is interested in helping with that, jump into https://chat.rockylinux.org and join that special interest group.

SHAMELESS PLUG: CIQ (my company) also has an upstream optimized kernel that we support provided via Mountain (our operating system delivery platform).
While nothing is without risks, generally speaking investing in private business that produce actual goods where the supply chain is stable, or real estate so long as it continues to enjoy its advantageous tax loopholes. Those are the only comparable things that currently have a rate of return on inflation that I've found that come to mind with manageable risk assuming proper due dilligence.

Real estate requires a certain level of income to take advantage of those tax loopholes in the first place. Its also still at the height of the market, so opportunities will be coming available as that bubble deflates but you generally don't want to catch a falling knife. I'm personally expecting about a 15% correction, factoring in a minimum of 12% inflation over the next several years based on the 1983 methodology for calculating inflation.

Business risk due to inflation is going to become problematic if you can't control input cost. The operating budgets for many businesses also typically are funded on a variable interest rate loan which will stress many businesses which may present some opportunities in the near future.

Most budgets I've seen have not been factoring in the rate of inflation, but with two years of excessively high inflation and more expected in the future, anyone that knows what they are doing will be factoring this into their prices moving forward for the near term.

Edit: Regarding computational models (AI) and investing, they really aren't a good fit for a lot of things, primarily because there is no determinism properties (system's theory). Any time you have inputs with multiple potential outcomes, this property breaks; and Automata & CS Computation theory say computers will never be able to solve these fundamentally due to the halting or decidability problems. Anywhere human psychology plays a significant role in the outcome, you often have these issues which may not be immediately visible.

Approximations can be made, but there is no guarantee they will be accurate. You also can run into synchronization issues when you have many interconnecting systems (i.e. Dragon King Events).

> Why is "victims" in quotes there?

Because some people lose their minds if you use the word "victim" to refer to a person who has suffered a light crime, rather than reserving it only for people who have suffered a particularly egregious violation.

> And even of there was a specific unique cause of action for DMCA misrepresentation, that would take a lawsuit too.

> How do you imagine a penalty exists without legal action? (You can create a public cause of action, too, but then the victim still has to convince the relevant public authority that the case is meritorious and a priority, which can be hit or miss.)*

It's not an all or nothing, and not all legal action is equally arduous. Adding penalties on top of actual damages would shift the scales significantly and add some protection for the consumer (remember for companies it's all about balancing liability). Having to prove actual damages in a civil suit as is currently is essentially impossible, but reporting would not be.

The law could also be changed to make it clear that you can't DMCA a tool or script simply because it could be used to violate somebody's copyright. There could be penalties for wrongfully DMCAing something (that don't require the person to lawyer up and prove actual damages, something essentially impossible for the average person).

To be clear, are you saying you like the current DMCA? That it's a good law?

I think Kyle answered this below, about the option for enterprises to run the data plane of Depot in their own cloud account. In that model, the Depot CLI connects directly to that data plane without passing through any infrastructure on our side.

> I think we solved it with buildkit cache

One big thing we're doing here, if you're familiar with BuildKit cache, is providing builds a stable cache SSD that's reused between builds. This means we support all of BuildKit's caching features, including things like cache mounts that aren't directly supported in ephemeral CI environments. Plus Depot doesn't need to save or load the cache to a remote store like S3 or GitHub Actions cache, instead the previous cache is immediately available on build start.

This may not be any better or different than what you're doing, I just wanted to mention the detail for anyone familiar with trying to make BuiltKit more performant.
To put it in another way, business doesn't care what language it is written as long as you ship it fast and it passes QA.

Electron gets the job done, and you can tap a huge pool of devs.
I can relate to most points in the article but definitely not #4. I'm a newbie and Elm's ways of declaring types are confusing to me. There are custom types, type aliases, records, extensible records, opaque types, phantom types, wrapper types [1]. However, I still wasn't [2] able to model a list of items with a common base type without having to switch-case through all possible types.

While I don’t like staring at my phone constantly while I’m around others, have you considered the possibility that people simply enjoy whatever are on their phones more than talking to and spending time with you?
