Mumble's latency is unbeatable imo, it's basically their main focus and shows.

The sticking point for me is the lack of persistent messages, something the devs strangely think is a privacy plus. Issue open since 2016: https://github.com/mumble-voip/mumble/issues/2560

If you drop out for a minute you won't have access to anything that was posted in chat, which makes it useless for anything other than voice only comms, that might suit some business purposes but I've always needed to post links or screenshots in chat during meetings.
I'd appreciate the steelman of the opposite too. I want and plan to use LLMs for basic production applications (augmented retrieval mainly - i.e. vector db, do a search, get a summary of results; data cleaning pipelines etc.)

Do I need to learn langchain to be substantially more productive at that stuff?
Useful summary. Made me want to read about the ghost cache. The cache layout is:

Probationary 10% + Traditional 90% (of memory).

The idea is that most items are not requested again prior to dropping out of probationary and so don't take up space and process in the Traditional Cache.

Some infrequently used items however would remain inside the Traditional cache but never make it through the probationary cache. So a small "ghost" cache is used to specifically detect these items rejected from the Probationary cache.

Next time we go to fetch a ghost item they go directly into the Traditional cache. The ghost cache is just storing metadata (pointers essentially).
To raise awareness about a cool project? I didn’t know and was glad to learn about it.
Maybe it makes sense to think of it as something similar to insurance. We pay into it (through taxes), hope we don't need it, and really appreciate it when we _do_ need it.

Even if it doesn't balance out or make sense financially, I'm much happier living in a world where we care about each other rather than one where we're weighing the value of saving a life.

I had this same thought when watching The Martian. If you're unfamiliar, an astronaut is accidentally left on Mars. The story is about how he survives and the immense measures those at NASA and the CNSA go to just to save one life. It's an inspiring thought.
> when a crack starts, IT'S OVER. Crack propagation is extremely rapid after that once nucleation has occurred

This is an exaggeration, small cracks can develop and grow very slowly over the course of years. There’s lots of types and sizes of cracks.

I wonder how difficult it would be to enhance Redis to support FIFO with Lazy Promotion and Quick Demotion.
While on principle I agree. It doesn't matter.

There can be 2 problems at the same time.

Whatever people focus on shouldn't be a topic.

Edit: That seems far more callous than it was meant. You're right, people are forced to travel the sea almost daily, desperate people will do anything.

This IS different. And hits different because it was a choice, with a real discussion about "Hey, it's really possible you can die, and you already have a rich life"

The fact it's rich people should show that it's a completely different scenario.

As for media coverage. I would agree.
This is a whole other can of worms, but the requirement that space exploration be manned was made for political rather than scientific reasons and has held back the progress of space exploration for decades. We could have done so much more if we hadn't had to worry about getting a robot back.
4 months and still no code or models released.
I don’t see why Rocky wouldn’t be able to continue existing using old CentOS Stream releases. It wouldn’t be as easy or work as well as it currently does but there’s no reason why it wouldn’t work tk make a RHEL like OS.

Those are two different meaning of the same word though, and the one in your usage is not specifically nautical, so I’m not sure it qualifies. But a good pun nonetheless.
I'm sure nothing I have to say is news, but it bears repeating that the common excuses for driving an SUV are either selfish or irrational.

The only advantage SUVs offer in safety is that they're likely to flatten the other car in a crash. Aside from size, the characteristics of an SUV make safety worse—they handle badly, tend to roll, and their design is unsafe to pedestrians and cyclists—so buying an SUV makes the roads as a whole less safe. People buy SUVs to avoid being killed by SUVs. It's a negative-sum arms race.

SUVs have atrocious visibility, and this has its cost in blood. They are so high off the ground that it's impossible to see what is near to the vehicle. Thousands of children are injured every year from drivers not seeing them over the hood. Hundreds are killed. This kind of incident has a name: the frontover.

SUVs are a major cause of poor visibility. The need to see over other cars mainly exists because cars are so stupidly tall. Buying an SUV to see over other SUVs is another negative-sum arms race.
So, like tesla model 3 or y?
Okay I'll bite.

* Spinach leaves are "for" transforming sunlight into plant growth.

* Rump steak is "for" moving the back leg of a cow.

* Honey is "for" feeding bees.

Surely on the "food not for humans <===================> food for humans" scale something that is produced explicitly to feed the young of a fairly closely related mammal is closer to the "for humans" end of the scale than most food?

Please note I'm not trying to argue that that you're wrong about your classification of milk not being "for" humans, I'm trying to point out the absurdity of even trying to define food as being for or not for humans in the first place.

=================================================

Also talking about "Big Dairy" in this context is a bit silly too. You could definitely argue that milk has been heavily marketed as a "healthy" food in the United States over the past few decades, and maybe considering it to be unusually healthy relative to other foods is a mistake.

But trying to argue that humans shouldn't eat it at all while referring to "Big Dairy" is ridiculous - humans have been eating dairy for thousands of years, much longer than modern capitalism has even existed.

=================================================

And lastly, saying "it's not an argument, it's fact" is an extremely arrogant way to dodge actually having to justify what you're saying. Don't do that.
Yes, sample is generic, which is why I admit a little bit of skepticism with the claim that Fairlight coined the term and that it wasn't used prior to 1979 by turntablists/DJs earlier in the 70s, or with analog tape sampling.

Is there a strong reference? I know that's in wikipedia, and the primary reference appears to be https://www.soundonsound.com/techniques/lost-art-sampling-pa....
As much as I love SOS, this is rather flimsy evidence that Fairlight "coined" the term.

I think we agree that it's irrefutable that the use of the term sample in the past 30 years is unrelated to digital vs. analog both on wikipedia and numerous scholarly and printed works. That doesn't speak to origin of the term of course. The OED doesn't cite uses prior to 1985, FWIW.

Edit: Ok that was pretty easy to debunk with Google Books. Selected Reports in Ethnomusicology Volume 8, UCLA School of Music from 1974 refers to sampling: "the sounds (or "samples") are not created within the instrument itself but are recorded sounds from some external source which are fed into a sampling instrument". There are some other usages from around that time-frame.

The disease itself is incredibly expensive. The price of breakthrough treatments will come down faster than the costs of having the disease.
thanks for the heads up, just fixed it
Not at all. This solves a somewhat different problem: determining your position relative to a number of nearby reference stations (on the order of tens of meters away).

The limiting factor is that you have to wait for enough muons to pass through both your mobile detector and your reference stations. The farther apart they are, the lower the odds of this happening by random chance, so the longer you have to wait, with the fix time increasing proportional to distance^2. You also need a very accurate shared time reference between the reference detectors and the receiver; for this experiment, that was provided by piggybacking on GPS time.

The detector also needs to be fairly physically large. The Ars Technica article talks about the potential for miniaturization, but I believe this is a distortion or misunderstanding of the research. It's true that the researchers anticipate being able to miniaturize and improve some of the electronics of the detector, primarily through the use of chip-scale atomic clocks rather than OCXOs. But as the paper discusses (pg. 13), you can't really miniaturize the muon detector itself; it needs to be physically large because the muon detection rate is directly proportional to its area. For this experiment, 100x100x2 cm plastic scintillators were used.

Spending $250K to go sightseeing while there are starving people in your community is an act of dehumanization in your own right.

This sounds pretty similar to the pageout scan in Mach (i.e., NeXTSTEP, Darwin, macOS, iOS, and derivatives). It's also used by 4.4BSD and some of the modern BSDs.

There is an "active" queue and an "inactive" queue. The pageout daemon tries to maintain them in a 1:2 ratio. Active drains to inactive; inactive drains to be paged out. Both are simple FIFO, but the daemon clears the page table referenced bit of pages as they are enqueued onto inactive.

When dequeueing a page from inactive, the referenced bit is checked. If it's been set (i.e., the page was referenced since being moved to inactive), the page is diverted back up to active. Otherwise, it's paged out.
Descriptivism vs prescriptivism are the two extremes of modern English linguistics. I've found most prescriptivists cite style guides that were written in a time and location when the dialects involved weren't as far from one another and social class signaling were considered important.

Today, English is global language with an astonishing amount of variation and learning to communicate in English is as important as learning to understand it in all its glorious forms. It places the burden back on the receiver to learn the local mode rather than an Imperial style self-assuming greatness seeking to subdue conquered peoples.

I see two comments in and we're already making excuses for authoritarianism. Never have I before seen people go "But mass surveillance, civil right violating arrests are good actually!"

"We gotta auth because there are no alternatives" has been used time and again in history to commit atrocities.

Like it or not, People don't just go around committing terrorist attacks everyday. I, for example, and many people I know, have plenty of equipment to do so if I wanted to (multiple firearms, potential explosives etc), but why would I?
That doesn't matter, dude. This is all set up on an ICS model. They're highly coordinated. Turn on your news sometime and one guy, a fire chief, a sheriff, or maybe rarely a military guy will be speaking and it won't be because they rock-paper-scissored for it.

I'm the last person to deny the massive frustrating bureaucracy that is the US military, but in this kind of thing, that's not an issue.

Former O-4 17 alpha. I was even less connected to the Coast Guard than the Navy is, but since they do port security, including cyber, if there was an issue there they were involved.
No plans for that yet. We feel EdgeQL is a far superior choice for the intended use case of application development.
Thanks. Those are points I did not consider clearly, esp. the SS. While I do own a house, the mortgage, tax and insurance is more than $1700 and hence I moved it out of equation for this hypothetical scenario.

My point is that if I get dropped in US with a million dollars, it puts me in top 5% in the wealth category, but I would be living hand to mouth with the fear that the money can quickly disappear. That gives me PTSD :)
Impromptu rescue sessions like this provide tremendous training opportunities. The US Navy was going to be out there sailing around anyway.

Solving an unknown problem with whoever is available on hand at that moment. Coordinating between that ad hoc group and analyzing the results afterward is a real world activity that can't truly be simulated.
I’m not claiming that’s there such thing as an average person, just that there is an average age that a person has their first child.

Actually, they probably do like announcing to the world “we heard it”, to hype up their capabilities and spook their adversaries. That’s why you wait, you don’t want to say you heard it and be wrong.
The abstract concepts give you the tools to quickly classify a datatype. They are not limited to Haskell and let you ask the right questions of datatypes in any language.

The foundational concept is functoriality, i.e. mapping over the argument of a type. Whether a datatype has an instance of

1. (covariant) Functor

2. Contravariant functor

3. Functor+Contravariant (phantom argument), or

4. neither

says a lot about its structure and tells me what further questions I can ask (what hierarchies I can expect): A datatype can only be a Monad if is covariant. It can only be Divisible and Decidable if it is contravariant. If it is both (3.) then its argument is not used (phantom) and can be mapped to any type. If it is neither (4.) it can be invariant (where the argument appears in both positive and negative position: like the Endo datatype) or a more complicated datatype like GADT, which would require a more complicated functor.
So that’s added stress at pressures that it wasn’t rated for.

When I'm driving on the road, I'm totally cool with being selfish.

Driving is statistically one of the most dangerous things we do in life, and someone else being drunk/high/distracted/overly tired can end your life, or the life of a loved one, in an instant.

I don't feel bad driving a larger vehicle than other people. I will prioritize my safety.

As a kid I hated reading Shakespeare because he's a playwright: His scripts are supposed to be seen, not read.

I don’t know the specifics of the costs of caring for one with DMD, but I strongly agree that in general, new disease therapies are the only sure way to drive down medical costs in the medium and long term. This represents a victory, no doubt.
I'm not sure what's "convenient" there (or, conversely, what's "inconvenient" about dismissing gang violence), but there has always been squabbling over MCIs.

From Wikipedia:
> A mass casualty incident (often shortened to MCI) describes an incident in which emergency medical services resources, such as personnel and equipment, are overwhelmed by the number and severity of casualties.[1] For example, an incident where a two-person crew is responding to a motor vehicle collision with three severely injured people could be considered a mass casualty incident. The general public more commonly recognizes events such as building collapses, train and bus collisions, plane crashes, earthquakes and other large-scale emergencies as mass casualty incidents.

It then goes on to discuss the other type of "MCI":

> A multiple casualty incident is one in which there are multiple casualties. The key difference from a mass casualty incident is that in a multiple casualty incident the resources available are sufficient to manage the needs of the victims. The issue of resource availability is therefore critical to the understanding of these concepts. One crosses over from a multiple to a mass casualty incident when resources are exceeded and the systems are overwhelmed.
Even with the USN knowing it was fruitless, the USCG can use the activity to look at its operations and determine what improvements for SAR might exist in a way that pre-planned training exercises can not.
There's a funny concept I've come to appreciate called "cultural inventory" which includes all of the things associated with a culture, which includes its language.

I think it's interesting that among the major modern language groups in Europe -- Romance, Germanic, Slavic -- the kinds of typical alcohol are also highly associated with those languages -- grapes (wine), grain (beer), potato (distilled) -- and their alignment with north-south/east-west differences.
I imagine one reason is to check their assumptions. If the Coast Guard had found something, the Navy would have learned their analysis was off. Also, the Navy saying "we have secret evidence they are dead, so we are calling off the search" is terrible PR.
Microwave popcorn (in the bag) is garbage. I found I much prefer using a silicone popper [1], and then adding my own butter/salt to it. Tastes just like when I use an air popper. Since that approach doesn't use the popcorn bag, would it then be free from PFAS?

Do you think that gang violence and what we traditionally call “mass shootings” have the same underlying causes and represent a similar level of risk to the public?

This makes me angry and sad. But evidence so far shows it to be completely true. Free markets are not properly sorting this out, because markets are not really free. Instead they are mostly oligopoly, and can thus control image and regulation and competition.
My Volvo back up camera now lags because of all of the software updates... I'm pretty sure it's not compliant any more with standards... The updates also reduced original functionality like the 360 degree camera view as a default, which took away a major feature I bought the car for.

I also worry that there may be a point where android auto updates stop completely and the feature goes away altogether due to incompatibility overall... Likely even before the car is 6 years old. These cars aren't made to last anymore... I that case, they should cost a lot less than previous generations, or there should be a solid buyback program in place.

I don't want chat GPT, it is pretty much guaranteed to be obsolete in 4 years.... Just install a hot swappable PC in the car instead perhaps.
