I have no idea why that isn't standard practice in every codebase. I should be able to figure out your code without having to ask, or dig through issues or commit messages. Just tell me what it's for!
And that is why you shouldn't be able to ask for the experimental treatment... You should be able to ask to be part of a trial of the experimental treatment.

Remember that if 10 treatments are being tried at once, you can divide the pool of participants so that only a smallish percentage are part of the control group.
This is almost like you're saying the same thing as me. We, the advertisers, can make more money from you if you lease your car instead of buying it, if you rent your apartment instead of buying a house, if you spend everything instead of saving for retirement.

It doesn't seem to like slow music. I jokingly gave it a prompt to create a wedding ceremony processional music for the entrance of the bride at ~60bpm (I'm getting married in 2.5 weeks).
EDIT: Exact prompt "wedding procession bride entrance"

File "predict.py", line 211, in predict
raise ValueError(
ValueError: Failed to generate a loop in the requested 60.23 bpm. Please try again.

EDIT: At 52 bpm (exact) it seems to work. What it generated would not sound good if looped however. In terms of style.. it sounded a little music box like - celesta or so (think of the beginning of the Harry Potter soundtrack) with some sustained strings and pizzicato strings. That would be appropriate, except the rhythm and chords are fairly random and I wouldn't exactly call this musical :)
That would be the bare minimum in practice. That’s already the case: without premarketing approval (clinical trials), companies are not allowed to charge anything for medicine or medical devices. They’re not even legally allowed to ship them interstate until the premarketing application is accepted.
Very interesting question, touched on famously in The Hitchiker’s Guide (https://hitchhikers.fandom.com/wiki/Ameglian_Major_Cow). Some thoughts to consider:

* the person giving consent may not be fully aware of consequence or may not have the faculties to make an informed decision

* even if they are, they may be forced by circumstances, eg. a father selling his kidney for his son’s education

* even if the above two are satisfied, the act may be morally deplorable to (parts of) society, eg. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ones_Who_Walk_Away_from_... (however, note that society is generally Ok with bodily sacrifice in wars)

Patents fit your rhetoric, but trademarks protect customers from rip-off merchants who, to create a relevant example, will take the insides of an Android phone, build an iPhone-shaped form around it, re-skin the OS to be like iOS, and then sell it as "an iPhone".

This is still the case even though Apple is obviously wrong here.

I'm in medical and one major issue with Compassionate Use programs [1] is there often just isn't the supply yet to divert doses/devices to non-trial patients. By definition they are pre-release treatments, which means manufacturing is still ramping up and is often only available in small quantities.

We would love to be able to provide access to our device to everyone (its quite promising), but we are barely able to meet demand for the clinical trial.

With those restrictions, the call was made that we had to end compassionate use treatments for the foreseeable future - with limited supply they had to be devoted solely to the clinical trial, which is designed to give the maximum possible data about efficacy, not just anyone it might help.

Before quartz oscillators, clocks would use the grid as their time reference. It can be done mechanically via a small synchronous motor and some gears. I'm not sure if it's still the case today, but the grid frequency used to be managed through the night so those clocks were most accurate in the morning (for peoples' alarm clocks)
It's not "whataboutism." It's proportionality and universality.
I'd love to tell you what it did suboptimally in my usecase at the time, but I no longer have the code and it's been so long I don't remember the specifics.

Like I said in my earlier comment, it was so long ago the performance remarks may be outdated and the project may have resolved them.

I would like to give Futhark another try, but I need easy and portable integration in either Go or Rust, and as far as I can tell, that's not the case today? For my current project, I ended up selecting webgpu for my GPU compute needs.
I did skim! :) Don’t do that.
This is one of those things where I can go either way on. I'm not mad about the taxes I pay but we're I, or anyone, given the option to reinvest that money into MyFamilyConsulting LLC or give it away via my own self-directed charitable endeavors I would do it without even thinking about it.
Non-profit doesn't make the company (and all non-profits just are companies) suddenly good. It just removes one entity group interested in profiting - shareholders.

And it can introduce others who are interested in profiting - paying the C-level execs of the non-profit, etc.

Or introduce inefficiencies where the non-profit realizes that a "profit" is looming so they waste a bunch of money on stupid stuff to continue to not go over reasonable guidelines on rainy-day funds.
> When you disambiguate things it’s not hard to see the current trend of medicalizing gender as a form of gay conversion therapy

It is very hard to see it that way, gender dysphoria is not, and does not particularly correlate with sexual attraction to the gender of your AGAB; exclusive attraction to the gender opposite gender identity is less common than than both exclusive attraction to the same gender and bisexuality among trans people in America. If it were predominantly “gay conversion therapy”, you'd expect it to be predominantly people who had same gender attraction based on AGAB transitioning so that their target gender would result in that being opposite gender attraction. But the evidence doesn't support that.

It's a fantasy constructed by anti-trans, anti-gay forces to try to turn the successful movement against conversion therapy into an asset for them in dividing their natural opponents, but you have to be pretty ignorant to fall for it.
I'm not sure there is a realistic path to that, at least in the short term. It requires the majority of people to strenuously oppose it. If history is any guide, that will only happen after the amount of harm from it becomes intolerable for a sizable percentage of the population.

All I can do, personally, is to support organizations that fight this stuff, and to refuse to participate to the greatest degree I can. By this I mean avoiding going to areas where surveillance is used to the greatest degree possible, expressing my concerns about surveillance, and teasing/shaming friends and family who buy into the whole thing by using things like Ring doorbells, etc.

None of which will change anything overall, really, but you do what you can.

Ugh. Brazil politics is a contact sport, with Bolsonaro's backers still in a position to make life difficult for Lula. So I expect overstated positions like this, in order to dirty-up a Bolsonaro policy.

There are a couple of technology issues to keep in mind: The first gen Starlink satellites are a "bent pipe." Packets are downlinked as soon as they are recieved, which means a country as large as Brasil needs ground stations (for now) which can be monitored for illegal activity.

Even when 1.5 and 2.0 Starlink satellites are more numerous, almost every nation has lawful intercept (LI) requirements, typically up to 1% (but most telecom gear supports much more) of traffic, and law enforcement agencies control which traffic is monitored from a console provided for that purpose.

To operate legally, SpaceX would have to provide LI capability. If they do, the "criminals use it" complaint is either uninformed or a ruse to get criminals to use it.

> No. No no no no! Monoliths (modular or otherwise) are the default and if you have to ask, you don’t need microservices. Period. That’s not a lazy oversimplification, that’s hard earned experience.

But this is not what I am arguing. Yes, monoliths are the default, and unless you reached the point where you have thousands of engineers and teams working completely independently, you don't need microservices. I've also seen momentum being killed by microservices in smaller startups, and I've also seen large organizations operating with microservices wonderfully.

My beef with this kind of comment is that it kills any interesting discussion about architecture into a "don't use microservices" circlejerk, which is not helpful to people who actually want to dive into this kind of architecture. As you said yourself, microservices do work well for large companies, so why pretend it doesn't?
So the likely fallout of that would seem to me be that if a "federated Reddit" ever got off the ground:

- Over time, a few instances will grow to dominate and nobody will defederate them because they are too big and you'd lose too much/make too many people mad. These will be the Gmail, iCloud, Hotmail, etc. instances.

- As they become larger, instances will be motivated to follow established politics of the big instances so they don't get cut off.

- Small instances will exist as echo chambers for certain unpopular points of view and mostly none of the big instances will federate them. Porn, Nazis, KKK, Anarchists, religious extremists, etc.

- Possible large bifurcations may develop, e.g. "Fox News/Breitbart" vs. "CNN/Huffington"; each has large followings but they would probably not federate each other.

- New users who just want a place to do normal Reddit-like stuff will be confused by all of this.
You should read the Durham Report.
To be fair to the original argument, I think it's important to understand that there is next to no Rust code in comparison to the amount of C++ code out there. It has almost no projects in comparison, and those projects are much, much smaller. I don't think that's a very controversial statement, because it's very obviously true.

Now, it's also important to keep in mind that C++ has a terrible story when it comes to centralized (or otherwise, really?) repositories for packages, so the corresponding system for C++ is at the moment completely infeasible and not at all useful. That doesn't really make the Rust code that's tested against any more meaningful in comparison to the vast amounts of C++ code out there, though.

Edit:

At the kind of pointless and debilitating scale that C++ exists and then with the relationship C++ has with packages and dependency management this entire idea is basically impossible.

> Mersana said Thursday that the FDA had issued a partial clinical hold after five study participants had fatal bleeding events, a rate that was higher than would have been expected. About 560 people have taken the study drug to date, the company said.

When you’re afraid to do a chargeback with one part of a company for fear of another part being able to kill your business, that’s a sign that company needs to be split up.
Yeah agree. On a personal level my executives have full trust in me. So I get a wide berth myself to run my department as needed. Including making exceptions to the policy.

I wish people wouldn’t be on the take with stuff like this. I wish more were dedicated to their craft as lifelong learning too. But it is what it is.

Given that it's just "rank higher" - I think you have 2 reasons for this

1. People that think its funny and choose Hitler

2. People who compare Hitler to something like "Ferrari" or "Rome, Italy" and go "yeah he's had more impact (from my perspective)"

In that same sense, Hitler is arguably one of the greatest leaders the world has ever seen. He was just a horrible person who did horrible things.

I am (obviously) not a fan at all of Hitler, Nazism, etc. but it's had a profound impact on our world, regardless of whether it was horrible impact :(

But yeah, it's obvious there is some gaming of the system. Hard to rank Hitler higher than "earth" or "electricity"
this is a great explanation, thanks!

In the context of the parent question then it's the consistent standard syntax that makes things easier to read - something that indeed is impossible to see with an isolated example that, if anything, may look less clear than the syntax you're used to.
Keep in mind that it's not the pharma companies that are the only, or even most notorious, scammers that would benefit. Families of the dying one are a major risk factor. The difficult[0] truth is, plenty of families would accelerate the demise of a terminally ill or elderly[1] if it were possible. Like with euthanasia, any elective experimental treatment that carries increased risk of death, could become something the patients get pressured or manipulated into by their families.

That's the thing, though, I'd like to be able to do a year-long internship of some kind, and hopefully travel abroad. Research, and then take courses at a local state-school before I return. I feel as though it'd be a good life experience.
As long as there are not much better and cheaper implementations available than we have on the ARM side today, it's unlikely to succeed (the humble opinion of someone who implements embedded systems). And it's also unlikely to be royalty free; even if we don't have to pay royalties for the ISA, there will still be royalties for using patents and such if the implementation is really something. By the end of the day, RISC-V solves only a fraction of the problems (and has the potential to add new ones); personally, I think it is very unlikely that it will ever reach ARM's or AMD's volume.
> Also, try not to get worked up for such stuff on the internet. Yas it appears that when plugged to the wall, it does lose the HDR-white on max brightness. Still, even on max - 1, HDR is displayed properly.

Correcting misinformation isn't "getting worked up", please don't insinuate anything like that. HDR is still fairly new so it's important that misinformation doesn't spread.

And as your comment suggests, it's only because your Mac is temporarily reducing its brightness in battery mode (also sometimes due to heavy CPU usage, that the battery can't fully drive the display and chips).

But your assertion that "absolute peak brightness... only happens under direct sunlight" is false. As you yourself are seeing, you achieve the same when merely plugged in, no ambient light required.
Using Flakes, you can lock the version of nixpkgs (and any other repository) to a certain commit, and that commit is an input to the function. When you update that commit, of course the build changes, but I'd say that's pretty expected. If you don't upgrade it, you'll keep the prior versions.

Now this only works as long as you keep your package outside of he main nixpkgs repository, once you upstream it you're locked into the versions of packages that are "currently" in nixpkgs in the same commit. Builds are still reproducible, because you select the commit you build, but your package might break if a dependency changes in an incompatible way. If that happens, there's a problem with either the definition of the application or the dependency. In the given case it sounds like there might be an issue with the package of the application since it seems it doesn't lock down the precise version of Django that it needs.
I'm a Marxian leftist, but the one time I tried reading his essay I found it incomprehensible, ramblings of an ill person. It could've been about any topic, the style was redundant overconfident rambling.

So, I never cared for the overanalysis of this, the media obsession and spectacle is pretending he had anything comprehensible to say at all.

I.e., his ideas resonate for people who have not actually read leftist writing. Or maybe they resonate for accelerationists, tankies, and the like.

No, see, since it hasn't effected them (yet?)there is no good faith reason to be against censorship. The only ones effected by it or worried by it are the wrongthinkers and bad people and who cares about them?
Do you use an iPhone ? They do pretty amazing things with images now. Even the search for a photo by text is quite amazing. I used it the other day for work for the first time and I found what I needed in my tens of thousands of photos. It almost truly felt like an extension of my memory, it was actually a pretty cool feeling.

So sorry I don’t buy the Siri attack as being proof of anything. I have found Siri has improved a lot. Even the speed at which Siri works is much faster. The other day I was driving in a really loud old car and used my Apple watch to change the music, I said to myself “there’s no way Siri will get it”, and it did.

I also trust Apple with my data, at least for now. I don’t even slightly trust Meta at all. I found Zuckerbergs interview on Lex Friedman more scary than before as he said all the same freaky stuff disguised by a more “cool” and polished facade. The same dystopian ideas are still there.
https://incredible-adventures.com/ has been offering wild adventures similar to this for a long time.
The last place I worked that had that kind of capacity, I had access to the lobby of that building and that was about it. The server room I could access had space for <wiggles fingers> maybe 15-20 racks and in fact had maybe 7, which is probably why it was always cold as fuck in there and I didn’t like being in there much.

Then there was a contract which had a server room twice the size and mostly contained an AS/3<mumble> and a couple racks of Intel hardware. You could probably get a ping pong table into that one. Giant rooms that are mostly white and too cold are a little freaky, and reminiscent of 2001.

There have been a number of stories of people not being able to utilize their floor space for more servers because they ran out of space on the roof for AC units. At one point I recall Google was working on power dissipation because they had hit the max electrical code, and so no one would agree to run more power into their buildings. More servers meant more compute per watt and per ton of chillers.
Not for profits are equally unaligned: It's just a matter that instead of giving money to shareholders, it's all about the whims of whoever controls the non-profit company. Those whims can be good, or they can be quite bad.

American insurance company profits are higher than I'd like, but ultimately the magic of America's healthcare is its inefficiency. When you end up owing $3000 for a very minor ER visit, the money didn't just go to the insurance company's profits: A lot of people made more money out of it than in an equivalent visit in, say, a hospital in Spain. And it's not as if the inefficiencies are just due to a single part of the healthcare system being worse all by itself.

The difficult part is that one person's inefficiency is someone else's lunch, or yearly safari to Kenya, so every move to cut costs is politically untenable. Non profits don't fix this, any more than non-profit colleges make US higher education cheap.
