https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veganism#Nutrients_and_potenti... :

> Vegan diets tend to be high in dietary fiber, folate, vitamins C and E, potassium, magnesium, and unsaturated fats.[34] However, consuming no animal products increases the risk of deficiencies of vitamins B12 and D, calcium, iron, and omega-3 fatty acids. [34][264]

> The American Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics states that special attention may be necessary to ensure that a vegan diet will provide adequate amounts of vitamin B12, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, calcium, iodine, iron, and zinc. It also states that concern that vegans and vegan athletes may not consume an adequate amount and quality of protein is unsubstantiated. [265]

FWIU, high-red-meat diet outcomes are probably on average worse.

"Competition is a ruthless process. A firm that reduces cost and expands sales injures rivals--sometimes fatally." ~ Ball Mem'l Hosp., Inc. v. Mut. Hosp. Ins., Inc., 784 F.2d 1325, 1338 (7th Cir. 1986) (Easterbrook, J.)., sourced from the DOJ website. (https://www.justice.gov/archives/atr/competition-and-monopol...). Also worth noting on that page: "At its core, section 2 makes it illegal to acquire or maintain monopoly power through improper means." Monopoly itself is not illegal in the US system; consumer harm is. This differs from the European interpretation.

... but yes, "Your honor, the competition is just too bad at this to compete" is an antitrust defense as a result. At least in the US system.

Does anyone have experience with it?

How usable is it on MacBook Air / Pro, and how much GB RAM is required?

And regarding programming, how comparable is it to GPT-3.5 / GPT-4?
“ We considered a spherical water phantom in a spherical spacecraft shell, and analyzed how the radiation dose absorbed in the phantom depends on the aluminum spacecraft shielding thickness (surface density values of 0, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 g•cm^2)”

To help you make sense of those gcm2 values, a 1 cm cube of aluminum has a density of 2.7g and presents (roughly) 1 cm^2 surface area when part of a sphere, so it’s “0cm thick, 2cm thick, 4cm thick, 8cm thick, 12cm thick,…” etc.

The first and most important point is that this should be titled “Spaceships flying to Mars declared unsafe for humans”, as the study concerns itself solely with radiation received in travelling to Mars. It has nothing to do with Mars itself and in fact their result is probably broadly true of any spaceflight above low earth orbit.

Other potential titles might be “Aluminum declared insufficient for radiation shielding”* or “1 Sievert limit declared impractical for interplanetary spaceflight”.

*: Although they do claim that more complicated multilayer systems using other materials as well would only get at most 20% more protection; it seems the fundamental issue is what we think of as “radiation shielding” is more like “radiation heatsink”, and as you absorb more and more radiation from space, that energy will have to go somewhere - in the form of secondary radiation released by the shielding itself.
1990s design was all about preventing people from accidentally doing actions they might not have wanted to. Even down to the “Are you sure you want to quit” dialogues that were all the rage.

It’s sad just where we are now compared to the design goals of old.
What's weird about this to me is the flow of information, knowledge from one place to another.

We're using software that has encoded the rules we want to use to generate data. The ML is using the data to infer the rules. It seems like we need a better way to give our ML algorithms the rules that we already know rather than this processing-intensive process.

But perhaps that's the cost of using neural networks- they can learn any function, but they can only learn from data, examples.

I was at a cool hifi listening party in the bay yesterday and was going to post a picture on /r/audiophile, then I saw it’s still closed, and I realized that subtracts nothing from my life. Instead I just enjoyed the event more. This whole debacle is the best thing Reddit ever could have done for me.

Right, the whole chain back to (but not including) the root. Every intermediate must be sent if you want maximum compatibility, roots should never be sent by anything other than an application or OS update.
Does that hold for everyone in your area? Or is it okay for you if other people aren't allowed to take a bathroom break when they want as long as you are allowed to?
I had a great experience in the play test, ran super smooth for me, movement handled like a dream and felt amazing, ran great even with a full server. Had been waiting since forever for it to come out as the playtest was at inconvenient times for me.

Unfortunately it looks like the OS requirements changed and my GPU also just gave up the ghost so I won't be able to enjoy it for awhile.

I mentioned less than 5, that wasn't intended to be an accurate figure.

For me I just don't want to interact with weirdos. It doesn't have to be that extreme, the marker is something like - if I went to a restaurant, bar, workplace, party etc and it had the same number of degens as public transport I wouldn't go back there, I have options.

I place great importance on spending time in places where the people around me feel like equals that I can converse with rather than potential threats.

edit: No, I don't mean "different strata of society". I mean dickheads. A different strata of society is, say, Matt Hancock MP vs. an immigrant single mum, both of which travel on the Tube. I enjoy living in a diverse neighbourhood. My neighbours are from all walks of life.

A dickhead is someone smoking weed on a bus, shouting homophobic slurs at people who look a bit different, playing loud music on speakerphone. I am indeed intolerant of in-your-face antisocial behaviour and I'm proud of that fact.
The correct replacement part not only isn't matched....it's the same part for the 595 and 555.

> Quite a few people speculated in my Original thread that the more expensive HD595 headphones must also be using a more expensive driver. However, Head-fi member MCC posted the smoking gun; a picture of the original Sennheiser replacement driver labelled “HD 555 / HD 595”.

So, unless they're fucking over their 595 customers who need a repair: the drivers aren't binned.

The bill imposes novel limitations on what regulations municipalities are allowed to enact/enforce. You won't find the impact of the bill in its text -- to find that, you'd need to read the municipal regulations that would be superceded. Mandatory water breaks (a paltry 10 minutes each 4 hours) are but one example.
Yes, embarrassing mistake

Still 10 is less than 15

Additionally, as someone else pointed out, it would be 6^5 sequences, which would need 13 bits

Still 13 is less than 15

But the interesting thing is, you can then index the most commonly used sequences of sequences and compress by a few more bits

You can keep the process going until you have a 2 bit index for the most commonly used sequences (of sequences (of sequences… ))
Yeah I agree. I think the biggest mistake people make when applying YAGNI is not considering how difficult it will be to change later. If it's just some hard-coded value that you could easily add to a config later? Fine. YAGNI.

If it's something more fundamental like language choice or system architecture... Well fine YAGNI now but if you ever do need it you're screwed.

I worked with a project manager that went too far in the opposite direction, though. Their pushback against premature optimization manifested in wanting to start with a functionalish "proof of concept" without any real design phase so they can say we cranked out an MVP in the first sprint... and before you know it, like most non-blocking technical debt, the "migrate functionality to final codebase" kanban card moves to the "long term goals" column (aka trash) and you're stuck with a shitty, fragile producion codebase. The opposite side— trying to get everything into a final state right off the bat— it is like trying to play an entire 8 measure song in one measure.

At the beginning of a project, before I write a line of code, I try to: a) if it's user-facing software, get some UI designer input to shape functionality/interactions, not styling. To end users, the UI is the software, not just the shell, so mediocre UI = mediocre software. It can also illuminate needs you didn't consider that affect architecture, etc.; then b) block out the broad stroke architecture, usually on paper, c) intentionally choose languages/environments/tooling/etc rather than reflexively going with whatever we've been using recently, and d) spend some design time on a reasonably sane and extensible, but not overly detailed data model.

There's no perfect solution, but at least in my cases, it seems like a good middle ground.

I'm not sure how you could write something like this without considering something like the micro op cache, which is present in all modern x86 and some arm processors. The micro op cache on x86 is effectively is the only way an x86 processor can get full ipc performance, and that's because it contains pre decoded instructions. We don't know the formats here, but we can guarantee that they are fixed length instructions and that they have branch instructions annotated. Yeah sure, these instructions have more complicated semantics than true risc instructions, but they have the most important part - fixed length. This makes it possible for 8-10 of them to be dispatched to the backend per cycle. In my mind, this definitely is the "legend" manifested.
> And people underestimate how well some solid, dumb solutions can scale.

I'd say they underestimate how long "just throwing money" (servers) at the problem can work.

If you earn decent money now, scaling number of app servers 10x times to serve 10x times the traffic will still earn decent money. Doesn't matter that "PHP is slow", deal with it when your infrastructure cost warrant hiring more/better developers to fix it.

Especially now. Pair of fat servers on some NVMes and 1TB of RAM gonna cost you less than few dev-months and that can serve plenty of users in most use cases even before any extra caching will be needed.

As in the universe was too big or as in the game was no good?

I've only heard stories of successful squatting to take over a property coming from Europe and North America. I would be curious to hear how squatting is handled both legally and culturally in other parts of the world. What about South America, Africa and Asia? I imagine in some places if you're in someone else's property they'll just kill you. And in others, they may barely have a concept of private property at all.
I know atheist is used because there are fewer worldwide, and it has a pejorative tinge, but I would prefer to call people who believe in the supernatural ‘theists’.
True, but most content in general is bullshit.

Most scientific publications is BS published for the sake of pumping your numbers.

Most student memoire is BS to pass the exam.

Most financial analyses, most TV journal reporting, most tweets, most books are BS.

Ever read doctors or lawyers specialized magazines? Most pages are BS on top of BS.

Paid content, content produced to fill space, making volume, low quality authors trying to make it, agendas every where, and of course automated crap.

Why do you think HN is so successful?

The concept?

The tech?

Of course not.

It's the quality of moderation, and the fact they used their ability to publish their BS to the front page with moderation. Just enough to help them, but not so much as to destroy the average HN quality.

Dedication to quality on the long run, and restrain in milking the cow. This show visions, and it's hard.
> They only want to keep us divided and fighting amongst ourselves so we don't unite and fight against them.

This is obviously true, but the reason they're able to do it is that there is a legitimate disagreement about the most core beliefs that roughly splits our society in half. Yes the politicians are self serving, but that doesn't make them wrong when for example they say "democrats want to murder babies" because their supporters do genuinely believe abortion is murder. That's not manipulation really, conservatives would believe that either way. We divide ourselves very well without any grand conspiracy.

As rPi 4Bs are hard to get still / overpriced, unless you’re absolutely married to the rPi, check out OrangePi 5B for a much faster CPU, more RAM, eMMC, and good wifi OR get the 5+ for the same minus wifi (it has an E-key m.2 to add it) but adds a 2280 m.2 so you could throw a 4TB m.2 SSD on there (which are about $200 now) and now you’ve got a pretty dang good little NAS that’s fast and fanless for about $350-400 all-in. Did I mention the 5+ has 2x 2.5G Ethernet?
Years ago, when detroit was in desparate throws, I thought that it was ripe for a new 'silicon valley' and they should have pushed a huge start-up market. They didnt, but they should have.

I still think detroit is a solid market - but you have to get some serious incentives...

Look at fn twitter - they got SF to give them millions in tax breaks, only to find that all the other services (and tremote work) were untennable on market street (the Emporium now the westfield mall) has turned back into the failed district it was in the 90s (hint; public transport and parking greed fucked that up)

Now look - the city of SF depends on Salesforce and twitter to bring thousands of people into the city - but it has no affordable place to house or park them.

I think twitter owes the city a giant amount of money - and benioff can go fuck himself (speaking as someone who built out many of his offices)

The point being that places such as Detroit need to up there game and build a tech scene - but I am afraid its too late.

I don't accept the premise of the headline. The migration hasn't failed, it's still in progress. Also, it's not just Mastodon, it's the entire Fediverse.

I bailed on the twit site when Muskrat's purchase agreement finally went through. Saw the writing on the wall and was already gone-deleted by the time he carried his sink into the lobby.

Took me awhile to find a Fediverse instance that jived, but am a happy camper now. Zero ads to scroll past. Postive interactions with people I don't really know but who are at least real humans who share mostly interesting things. Unwanted bots and agenda crap are easily muted. Posts can be set for auto-deletion which is a nice featire and comes with the same tweetdeck-style interface so nothing lost there.

Basically I have been enjoying Mastodon and don't find it addictive or outrage-inducing at all. Certainly feels like a more open and mentally healthier "virtual space" than any privately owned and profit-driven ones. So maybe it's just taking time for people to find their way out of Melon's escape room.
Imagine doing science, engineering, or mathematics. Might as well be getting an English degree.
Honestly, this sounds like an advertisement for Texas to me. Kind of want to move there (I live in California).

The tokenizer differences are major as LLMs are sensitive to whitespace handling. If I am reading the github page properly, OpenLLama failed to learn how to model code properly? Code contains many implicit reasoning tasks.

What other differences are there? The page doesn't mention how numbers are handled. These are two major things that impact model reasoning and numeric ability.
Learn what? That you should use the language that you’re more comfortable with and then scale? Or that languages have become more efficient? Php 8, for example, is many times faster than the php 4 and 5 that Facebook was using.

That's not what your link says. It actually says:

There is a certain point at which the engineering is no longer what makes a company successful, it fuels an initial growth and can sustain it longer, but then the deciding thing on whether the company survives and thrives becomes the more operational aspects, the traditional sales & marketing.

With the product-market fit nailed, a solid offering out there, Twilio now occupies that later stage, and the buildboard reflects it. Everything changes at this point, because it's also not the top priority of the company to keep their own engineering happy at this point.
With Nanite, if you have a sidewalk with occasional cracks, and all the cracks are the same, those get combined into a single submesh. This is recursive; if you have multiple instances of that sidewalk, those get combined at a higher level. It's a form of compression for mesh data with redundancy.

This only works if the data contains such redundancy. That depends on how it's generated. Not clear if this type of generator creates such redundancy. Something using random processes for content generation won't do that.

Nanite is optimized for large areas of content generated by a team of people working together, as in a major game project. There's a lot of asset reuse.
Nanite exploits that. It's not a good fit for randomly generated assets, or for assets generated by a large community, as in a serious metaverse. The redundancy isn't there to be exploited.
