Huh weird, I’m pretty sure I can still vouch comments. Maybe there are different levels of vouching or the threshold differs for [flagged] vs [dead]. I feel like I vouched for a [dead] post recently.
With Commuters Staying Home, Transit Agencies Try to Reinvent Themselves
Slint has been around for quite a while now. A few years ago it was called SixtyFPS.

I used it for a cross compiled Windows app (did 99% of the development on macOS) and it was quite nice. It was a little limited as far as widget customization went (without getting down and writing your own widgets from scratch) but app ended up looking nice and behaving decently. It also lacked a few features I'd say were essential for any non-small desktop app (multiple top level windows weren't a thing a year ago, not sure if they've been added yet).

I quite liked their DSL for the UI scripting. It was even typechecked a bit and interfaced with Rust in a fairly clean way. It's one of the nicer UI libraries I've used in a while.

Huh? Stardew is blatantly, ahem, "inspired by" the Harvest Moon series. It was mainly successful because it wasn't a Nintendo exclusive.
I see postgres become CPU bound regularly: Lots of hash joins, copy from or to CSV, index or materialized view rebuild. Postgis eats CPU. Tds_fdw tends to spend a lot of time doing charset conversion, more than actually networking to mssql.

I was surprised when starting with postgres. Then again, I have smaller databases (A few TB) and the cache hit ratio tends to be about 95%. Combine that with SSDs, and it becomes understandable.

Even so, I am wary of this change. Postgres is very reliable, and I have no problem throwing some extra hardware to it in return. But these people have proven they know what they are doing, so I'll go with their opinion.

fully agree there is work to do -- I believe that the word "FREE" is problematic in English, and is destructive to the ends espoused thereby.. There is no perfect fit, but "Libre" causes the English-reader to pause, while removing very loaded language available to critics.

Secondly, there is no secret that some cloud-environments are teaching paying customers that "GPL does not apply here"
I am also curious. The main reason I haven't even tried figuring Lemmy out is because I figured it'd be exclusively full of "free speech" people, like other Reddit alternatives.

Pretty sure Tom Lane said this will be a disaster in that same pgsql-hackers thread. Not entirely sure what benefits the multi-threaded model will have when you can easily saturate the entire CPU with just 128 connections and a pooler. So I doubt there is consensus or even strong desire from the community to undertake this boil the ocean project.

On the other hand, having the ability to shut down and cleanup the entire memory space of a single connection by just disconnecting is really nice, especially if you have extensions that do interesting things.

I mean, my local town's sub, ostensibly a very general-purpose place to ask and answer questions, share news and event info, in practice is quite left-leaning (college town) and heavy handed with permanent bans. Trump or even anything nominally Republican is right out, which is fine in that they are off-topic in a locally-focused sub, but you can praise Biden and Democrats all day. Even trying to have a very civil debate on local political and business topics is like walking on eggshells if you aren't supporting the popular point of view, but everything up to outright slander is tolerated in the other direction.
I’ve had nb marked for investigation forever. It looks like it’s been steadily developed since I first saved it for later.

So do you store all your files in DropBox and the use Joplin to access them via mobile? I’m intrigued by how the two interact.
Both, I'd imagine.

With regard to client compatibility there are related precedents for this already; the PostgreSQL wire protocol has emerged as a de facto standard. Cockroachdb and ClickHouse are two examples that come to mind.

I wish I could journal straight into a directory, but I've found that it's crucial to have mobile access to my notes. That's why I mainly now write everything in Google Docs since it's simple and convenient (I tried Notion but was not a fan for various reasons I won't get into it).

The only issue with Docs though is there's no Vim support of course, which has annoyed me for a while. I finally got around to building an extension for it though if anyone is interested: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/vim-for-google-doc...

> Please note that it is advised to avoid using the Hugging Face fast tokenizer for now, as we’ve observed that the auto-converted fast tokenizer sometimes gives incorrect tokenizations.

If you are correct, maybe it'll work for languages not reliant on whitespace, paired with a code formatter, but we're definitely coming to expect more from these models these days.
Not turning it off is one of the reasons it's lasted this long. One of the most common causes of electronics failure is thermal stressing from powering down and up.

You use these templates on the runpod platform itself. Theres no free tier equivalent like you have with Colab/HF, but currently you can rent an RTX 4090 for $0.69/hr so its pretty affordable.

Maybe I'm out of the mainstream, but his dogged insistence on it is pathetic. It actually annoys me when I see "GNU/Linux" every time I log into Debian. It feels less like a tribute to the GNU project and more like giving in to his browbeating.

Honestly, if RMS were less of a jerk about it, I'd feel the other way: he and his organization did a lot, and it'd be great of Debian to credit them. But his juvenile bizarre obsession with it, at least for me, is a perfect example of the backfire effect.

It’s not “deprecated” in any official sense, but it has several legal defects that in 2023 ought to remove it from consideration for use as a permissive license in nearly all cases.
They said Dev Drive supports bypassing most of the FS filter stack, and it somewhat makes sense that it is easier to bypass the stack at the drive level than the folder level (WSL1 was using folders deep in %LocalAppData%).

I'm very curious what WSL1 performance sitting on top of Dev Drive will be like. I have no idea yet if that's even an expected to be supported scenario. (In further curiosity with a few quick searches: no direct mention of it in the Dev Home repo, the only WSL-related issues they seem to be currently tracking are installing Repos to WSL paths from Dev Home. I don't see anything on automating installing WSL[1] distros to Dev Drive.)
I think he’s talking about the new iOS feature that allows your text to be read in your own voice model.
From their project page https://github.com/openlm-research/open_llama :

> For current version of OpenLLaMA models, our tokenizer is trained to merge multiple empty spaces into one before tokenization, similar to T5 tokenizer. Because of this, our tokenizer will not work with code generation tasks (e.g. HumanEval) since code involves many empty spaces. We are planning to open source long context models trained on more code data. Stay tuned.

Sounds like they're working on it.

This is exactly how it plays out with humans too, except 1) we can develop ways to sharpen our teeth, and 2) we can organize opposition to individuals who, according to the majority, behave unfairly. The resulting dynamics are obviously much more complicated than with lions, but the phenomenon is there.

I mean, imagine that the lion went on to catch more antelope than it needs to eat, and started to sell the surplus in exchange for cleaning its beard or some other services. The other lions then figure out this is not a bad strategy, and start doing their best to also capture a surplus to trade - perhaps going as far as inventing tricks and tools that let them hunt even more efficiently than the original lion with sharper teeth. This continues for a while, until antelope population crashes and most of the lions starve.

Survivors, should they be smart enough, pass on the story of those events - aptly calling it the Tragedy of Commons. Perhaps a couple generations later, when a lion with sharper teeth starts setting up antelope carcass trade again, they wisely band together to form a lion government, and dispense hunting quotas.

Thus is the story of civilization and technology, in a nutshell.
I think for most of the general public, a movie shot on your phone represents a significantly smaller burden than programming.

It's a capex vs opex question. For financial quackery reasons, accountants and stock markets prefer having less people on the direct payroll, which is why everything not part of the "core business" is outsourced - even if it is more expensive in either short or long term.

The British committing navy for East India company is not remotely similar to PRC inaction to curtail organized crime operations in LATAM when they'd rather direct resources domestically or in ASEAN. The primary attack vector of Opium War was military force, i.e. an actual war. The primary victim throne and treasury not civil society via gunboat diplomacy. One is a state actively investing large diplomatic and military resources to target a specific opponent, another is a state doing nothing / not going beyond to assist another state for what happens in their borders.

Besides, the US drug epidemic predates PRC/fentanyl for decades. PRC is fine with reaping benefits of US dysfunction on the sidelines - most of the world and their politicians get propaganda value from mocking dysfunctional US drug policy. America the Great not being able to control drug use within their borders is an quintessential American problem through and through. Again being indifferent schadenfreude =/= supporting. PRC hasn't even unscheduled fentanyl yet, a legal drug previously scheduled at US request. If PRC was actively malicious, they would go back to skipping Mexico/LATAM as middle man and coordinate at state level to swamp the US directly at scale.

IMO the main benefit of poor US drug enforcement for PRC is MSS (PRC intelligence) being able to exploit opportunity to coordinate with LATAM based PRC triads to build out intelligence networks and influence. Their primary business is money laundering, largely for PRC capital flight. It doesn’t matter who actually provides the drugs/precursor (India/Mexican producers are in the game as well), or if it even needs to be drug trade in the first place.

>inflict pain and suffering in China, as a goal in itself

If US wants to reverse fentanyl trade into PRC they can go ahead. PRC state capacity is much better at dealing with domestic drug trafficking - like many other Asian countries. Otherwise the US has been trying to infiltrate PRC civil society to ideologically undermine CCP for decades despite PRC protest. PRC's ultimately decided to crack down domestically - see western NGO closures, eradicating CIA spy network, or HK protests. Something is uniquely dysfunctional with the US approach when PRC can fight ideas/influence better than the US can fight drug trafficking.
Bad side effects caused by participating in other trials would happen with equal frequencies in the control group.

Cities have more people and therefore have more votes. What Republicans have been doing is nullifying those votes. Meaning people living in rural areas have more voting power than people living in cities. It's both entertaining and annoying watching Republicans trying to defend this system.
The author is a copyright lawyer by trade as well a software developer so he understands both problem spaces; he identifies several glaring legal defects in the BSD and MIT licenses; and together with a group of other copyright lawyers developed a license that addresses all of those shortcomings.

I looked into this study, and interestingly the authors come to the opposite conclusion you come to:

> Overall patient experience of changes on GnRHa treatment was positive. We identified no changes in psychological function. Changes in BMD were consistent with suppression of growth. Larger and longer-term prospective studies using a range of designs are needed to more fully quantify the benefits and harms of pubertal suppression in GD.

Given that you're misrepresenting the studies you share, yeah, we're done here.
Well, sure, you and I know that. This website is aimed at the novices however.

One of them will read through the website and get excited to give FOSS a try. He will put in the work, release the project only to see it getting reskinned and put up for sale. This will be as unexpected as it will be demoralizing. So this eventuality needs to disclosed upfront and not hid behind amorphous "commercial use" and misleading "a fee [...] for instance to cover the costs of bandwidth".

Points I would raise, from the article:

If Kaczynski did raise valid points, he says, it is because he took them from others, including the French sociologist Jacques Ellul, whose 1954 text, The Technological Society, electrified the bomber as a young man. “Few of his arguments are actually original,” Fleming says. “He borrowed most of his ideas from fairly mainstream academic authors who would never have condoned his violence.

And separation of ideas from the violence, counter to the premise of the article, which it mentions only once, late, in passing:

“I don’t think we should read Kaczynski as a theorist or philosopher, and try to separate his ideas from his violence,” he says. “He’s a self-described terrorist, and revolutionary, and this is how I read him.”

Well summarized elsewhere.

Don't have an answer, but I can also say that I also was retaliated against for criticizing Reddit. They suspended an account with 5000 coins for no apparent reason, and then IP banned me for bringing attention to that to an admin with another account.

They can do whatever they want on their platform (including what would arguably be considered abusive), and we can continue to bring attention to their mistreatment of us outside it.
WSL2 is basically the VM solution (the distro and unix files are installed into a VHD just like a VM; the "real" Linux kernel runs directly on top of Hyper-V, the Windows hypervisor, as opposed to WS1 having the NT Kernel acting like Linux), so it may be a "best of both worlds" for you if you were to try "upgrading" your WSL to it.
You may have an "inner city crime problem" but that does not mean you don't have a gun problem. It absolutely is both.

Its more surprising nowadays if an article about AI doesn't have a "twist" that what you read/heard/saw was AI.
One important difference between Kaczynski and political leaders is that Kaczynski acted on his own autonomy. Political and military leaders require others to carry out their violence which defuses the moral stain by making so many others complicit (including the voters in democracies). Even an autocratic leader like Putin relies on his citizenry to carry out his will in such a way that it is difficult to even make sense of how the will of Putin differs from the will of the Russian nation.
