As general purpose compressor iguana is decompressing a lot slower than advertised, when tested with a typical data compression corpus.

It requires: avx512-vbmi2, available only on ice-lake/Tiger-lake/AMD zen4

As you can see, iguana with entropy coding enabled (-t 1) has a similar compression ratio to zstd -3, but it decompresses more than twice as quickly. With entropy coding disabled (-t 0), iguana has a compression ratio roughly equivalent to lz4 -5 and decompresses about 33% faster.
If your heart has stopped it is generally because you’re dead. It’s not like an arm where it can just break while everything else is fine.

In cases where it has only stopped because of a truly external factor eg drowning then it works but it won’t work if you’re just dying.
I'd just caution that Bill Parker, police chief in 1950 Los Angeles, was also thinking he had consent of "civilization" in suppressing the "disorderly chaos", but which often really meant anyone not fitting certain stereotypes. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thin_blue_line

This lead to extreme racial injustice/discrimination, which lead to the 1965 Watts riots.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watts_riots

We can say we are governing by consent, but we also have to ask, whose consent? I like the idea here. But it still requires more safeguards to be adequate.
AI training has nothing to do with copyright as it currently exists. Someone has access to a boatload of IP (because it was made publicly available) and trained a neural net with it. Now you want to retroactively create restrictions on what the implicit public rights were. Traditionally the implied license was something like you can't republish, redistribute, or use commercially, even though restriction on private redistribution hasn't been possible to enforce since the internet era. Now you want more restrictions.

If someone generates an image that's sufficiently similar to a copyrighted work, and publishes it in a way that violates fair use, you can send a takedown and potentially sue them. How the image was created doesn't matter, any more than it would matter whether Warhol had been able to scan the photo and then manipulate it in photoshop to get that result, instead of artistically copying it by hand. The result is the same. The potential for copyright infringement is the same, because it's the derived work that matters, not the process.

What you're attempting to do instead is the equivalent of trying to regulate scanning because it operates on copyrighted works.

I suspect you understand why you want to regulate AI training rather than regulate its output. I think you know AI is going to flood the market, currently certain types of images and simple music, but soon photorealistic portraits, complex music, and eventually video and even more complex works. Essentially all of those works will be clearly novel, not close to existing human-created works. They won't be copyright violations, so you have to cut this tech off at the knees and feed the blood mouse [1] by retroactively deciding that AI training is a violation of the implied license granted when people make their creations publicly accessible. Those AI creations will destroy most of the market for human-created works, and you can't have that.

I don't think many people, other than rightsholders, desire the IP dystopia your desired policy would create, which is holders of large archives of IP churning out endless AI-generated content (which no doubt they'll want to be able to copyright, contra the copyright office's current guidance), while preventing most competition by others who won't have a sufficient library of the right flavor of IP to train an AI model.

The slider-style switches are dumb eye candy, I agree, but you don’t have to treat them as such, they toggle when tapped.

My big annoyance is how these massive balls of JavaScript and images and crap have infected UIs of web apps everywhere, as though people couldn’t understand a checkbox or something. Silly “UI designer” fad, and quite pathetic for a designer really, to just copy whatever Apple did.

> Are there any web frameworks that enable generating clients like this, whether through a generated OpenAPI spec or otherwise?

I think perhaps you just never realized this has been common practice for a long time...

There are lots and lots of web service frameworks that do that: FastAPI in Python, Spring in Java, Play in Scala (iheartradio/play-swagger), rocket/okapi in Rust, many many more. You just need some introspection it's not a difficult thing to do.
> I was explaining to an American recently about Peelian Principles, and the idea that the police are just normal citizens who are employed to deal with crime and order blew his mind.

Right. The classic legal view of police power is that the only extra authority police have is the authority to arrest on suspicion. Anyone has the authority to arrest if they witness a felony. This worked in the UK until the second half of the 19th century, before handguns were common. A group of citizens could detain a crook. See "Hue and cry".

(Handguns didn't work very well until the second half of the 19th century, with
the development of all-metal cartridges and revolvers. Handguns before that were single shot,
high-maintenance, rather fussy to use, and often misfired. Most criminals used reliable knives or clubs.)

I'm not too impressed by that. Their very abstract says

> We find that, contrary to early concerns that inflation would be spurred by overheated labor markets, most of the inflation surge that began in 2021 was the result of shocks to prices...

And their overall train of thought is. in 2021 people thought inflation was due to wages but it wasn't, and in 2022 people thought inflation was due to wages but it wasn't, and so far in 2023 inflation isn't due primarily to wages... but the rest of 2023 inflation is going to be due to wages so we better lay people off now.

Not exactly a great track record here. It really reads like they came in with a conclusion and are looking for any way to support it - because the data they surface doesn't support their conclusion. At least from my skim of the paper. Essentially the paper is data showing wages aren't a main driver, ???, followed by "but wages are scary so you should stop them from rising anyway."

Well respected economists, but I'm not impressed at all by this bit of work.

Notes never really worked for me previously, but somehow I got it working with logseq [1] (it doesn't really matter which Roam-like tool you use). I feels like some kind of super power to be able to quickly access all sort of information. What helped me was thinking in projects (prepare conference talk XYZ, write article for tech magazine ABC and of course actual projects). Also I always link persons I interact with when I create notes for a meeting or similar situations. That way you can quickly show all relevant information about a person. Most important though is the ability to write down TODOs anywhere and later see them in an aggregated manner.

fake-hwclock[1] is useful for this. I don't know much about Pi-Hole, but if it involves writable storage and has a package manager, fake-hwclock may be available from there.

> At least we need to get better at building fault tolerant systems.

Security and fault tolerance are at odds here. Failing closed when you can't validate is correct, but not so useful. Properly modeling the clock might give you a way to get bootstrapped, but then an adversary would arrange for a bootstrap situation so they could interfere with your clock and then make use of the incorrect time for their nefarious purposes.

"so I don’t know, maybe we all have different intrinsic survival strategies"

Definitely. But it also varies for each person and time and day.

I had life and death situations, with me calmly and quickly doing the right thing (including the bullet time) while everyone else were literally running in circles. And I was also joining the panic circle at other times.

But I know that I usually perform well under extra odinary pressure situations - but slack off and get distracted in routine situations. For other people it's the other way around. And I think that makes sense evolutionary wise, so when there is an emergency, some people are adequate to handle it and save the tribe. And other people acomplish the boring, but still critical day to day jobs with care (which I can also do, but it is an effort for me).
The $3 part is only the controller, though. It doesn't actually handle the power itself - it requires extra components for that. It'd be like saying a $100 microwave is expensive because it is controlled by a $0.50 controller chip.

The project page itself states that the inverter will cost at least $20 in total - and that's using essentially the cheapest components you can find. Once you use quality components and include things like proper input/output protection, connectors, and a casing, you're likely looking at a $40-50 BOM.

A $150-$200 retail price is very fair, considering all the other stuff you need to pay for to actually design, certify, make, and sell a product.

I run the signing systems for a bunch of TLDs and honestly it scares me.

.NZ was just the latest public failure. If multiple large registry operators employing people who wrote the DNS and DNSSEC rfcs have had failures then how can you expect regular mortals to get it right?

Transferring your domain and your old ISP had dnssec on but the new one knows nothing about it and didn't check ... Down you go.

Mess up the key signing key change over procedure while transferring to a competent DNSSEC provider ... down you go again (although hopefully for a shorter time).

We do best practice DNSSEC, using fancy HSMs to do so, but if my fancy, proprietary, badly documented Thales HSM dies and the next person with my job has trouble getting the new box configured... no changes to the zones until its fixed. Take long enough that the RRSIGs expire ... down YOU go again. If at that point they throw out the HSM and roll regular DNSSEC using Knot or something it will probably be at least 24 hours for the zone to work properly even with IANAs emergency procedures.

I'm paranoid so we have 3 identical HSMs and detailed restore procedures but there is zero guarantee that if I ever leave my replacement will get it right. You can't hire dnssec staff, they are impossible to find, you have to train on the job.

The basic idea is excellent but the implementation in the real world is horrible. If dnssec usage was wide spread we might reach some decent maturity with the tools and protocols, but I can't see that happening any time soon.
A million dollars in revenue (well, $700,000, right?) is a meaningless number in isolation. You have no idea what their costs are.

Psychiatrists blame anxiety - everyone starts with their own experience, yet there is a point, as in the brain, the hippocampus reacts poorly (to anxiety) and makes it difficult to organize your thoughts (by interfering with short-time memory). You are going to have your own way through this.

There's a huge amount of overlap. They are both general purpose languages - as such they are in competition. I would say there are more applications where either would be a reasonable choice than there are where one is the obvious choice and the other isn't a reasonable option.
The time skip with location displacement reminds me of a game I once played as a kid. Where someone would crouch down and take very deep breaths, then take a final deep breath, stand up and hold it and someone else would try to make them pass out by stretching the skin on their neck against the wall.

It was a very dumb game in hindsight but quite popular at the time. The amusing part was moving them to a different location and everyone would try and pretend to be doing something else.

From the point of view of the person passing out you felt as if you were teleported in place and time, and depending on how well everyone else could hold their laughter you would even wonder if everything before was just a dream.

At some point, the reverse image search on Google started doing this, which was really annoying.

Another "valid" use of `timestamp` as opposed to `timestamptz` is for local times that don't all share the same time zone.

For example, if a user can create an event scheduled in their timezone, you probably would want to use a `timestamp` and not `timestamptz`. This way, if the user schedules the event for e.g. 5:00pm, and then the time zone changes (think DST or similar), the event is still at 5:00pm (it won't get shifted like a `timestamptz` would).

Because the US Gov wants it to stay alive and in business, google has so much users data collected and still counting, that no matter what, it will always be valuable to the gov.

Yes and no, the terrible attempts to build a new front-end are, but the old front-end that runs on python with Pylons (I believe) as it’s “front” isn’t.

I like react, and I love typescript, but sites like Wikipedia, old.Reddit.com, stackoverflow, hacker news and so on are nice showcases of how you should never be afraid of the page reload, because your users won’t be unless you’re building something where you need to update screen states without user inputs. Like when your user receives a mail and can’t just reload the page because your users input would be lost if you do so. I think this last part is the primary reason (along with mobile) that Reddit has been attempting to move to React, because the “social” parts like chats and private messages don’t instantly show up for users in the old front-end. Unfortunately they haven’t been very successful so far.

You probably can scrape their current or their new.Reddit front-ends since you can scrape SPAs, but it’s much, much, easier to scrape the old.Reddit front.

I think it's helpful to think of notes and writing as one part in a flow of ideation. Ideas should be thought of as streams, just like thinking. Notes and writing are simply tools which are a part of that flow. Each setting of that flow has different powers of constraint. The best ideas may start with walking, but there's the constraint of development. Writing is best for development, but you're thinking may be less free than walking as you have more focus in development. Then editing the writing requires a different mindset. You may then publish that writing to propogate the idea for feedback.

So, notes are streams. You're not saving ideas to forget them. You're saving them to interact with them with different tooling. A relatively small portion of those ideas will ever make it to the end the flow, which is publishing. And they lose relevance to us because our context changes. An idea is important to you in a certain moment, with certain circumstances. The following day, the context has changed. Only the ideas which stick will retain their relevance. Just like only a small number of ideas will widely resonate with others.

I don't think there's a need to delete them. You're context later may return to a similar enough state that old ideas become useful again, and you can refactor them.
My most frequently used notes system is a literal notebook on my desk. I just write on whichever page is open. I don't make any attempt to organize it. Notes about work, notes about a contractor I spoke to do some landscaping, notes about what I'm going to make for dinner, it's all jumbled up. Eventually when it fills up I page through to see if I still need anything. Almost invariably the answer is no.
NN's absolute can go beyond what they have learned and aren't just producing the "average".

Some good examples outside the typical LLM/images work:

* Deep Mind's work on AlphaFold, which generates predictions on proteins that haven't been seen before

* AlphaGo which plays games better than any human (so clearly can't be "the average")

If we look at LLMs, something like writing code in the style of Shakespear isn't really something that's been seen before.

I could not be more thirsty for some nations to declare certain forms of copyright/ip to be invalid.

IP is by far one of the most virulent, fastest spreading, most persistent & aggressive legalisms. The texts get copy pasted across borders with unbelievable speed.

What doesn't happen is nations making reasonable decisions about what ip doesn't cover. Every nation is coerced quickly into following ip maximist guidelines. The world lacks the ability to see what would happen if we didn't allow endless patents on whatever the frak common sense nonsense, and then another half century beyond that of extenuating patents. The system is broken, and what can be controlled seems to only grow and grow and grow. There's no wins for the public. Ever. This is perhaps the only stake in the ground of the last 50 years, and what a fairly minor point. So sad to see society sold out to such depraved corporate interests, forver & ever. Society needs real representation too.
