You'll do object-oriented programming with C in 2023 if you want to use the main official API of the GStreamer multimedia framework [1], which is C-based and heavily using GObject object model [2], which itself is part of GLib (the underlying library of GTK)

I don't understand HuggingFace's model at all. I went to try out StarCoder LLM & happily downloaded the git repo. Installed some pre-reqs. But the next step was to create a Huggingface account, to use this locally? I noped the heck out.

I came back latter to try to understand what was going on, why I'd need an account. I could find nothing helpful to tell me what was going on. I have never seen a more nebulous relationship with a company. I could be missing lots of hints, but I tried real hard to understand what's happening here & all of it felt extremely suspicious.
This sounds great, and on this alone I will give it a look.
I generally think that C is the right level of abstraction and provides the right model for thinking about programming. However, I don't actually use C because I can work at the same level in other programming languages.

Right now, C++ is my language of choice, but I'm far from happy with it, for obvious reasons. I think my ideal language would be as close to C as possible while adding some quality of life modifications. Off the top of my head, those would include: namespaces, modules, generics, removal of the -> operator, and removal of forward declarations (which would imply order-independent declarations).

Of course, it's easy to imagine such a language, but hard to implement it and be successful in practice. Most attempts probably never get out of the hobby project phase. Those that achieve some success will feel pressure to continue to add features to differentiate themselves from the competition. Maybe I am in too small a niche and there simply isn't a market for what I would like to use.
I'm sorry but if you set foot in my clean house you clean your hands and keep your shoes away from my clean floor. God knows where you've been and what you've touched before
Is it specific to your bank? I have used a couple of the big name American bank apps on my phone and never seen a dialog whatsoever (the blue and the red bank just FYI). Or it could be specific to your setup. Are you using Microg and hiding root (if you have it)? Are you making sure that all of the microg checks pass? Does the microg signature spoof pass?

Perhaps as a last resort, after getting your install set up, close the bootloader again. I don't do that but I've heard of people having trouble from leaving the bootloader unlocked.
As a developer who's worked with the HoloLens, it's not very good & is extremely underwhelming. The tech is cool but the viewport is so small and the hand tracking is extremely tiring. It could never work as a consumer product in it's current state.

The Vision Pro seems to be more focused on the end user experience, so hopefully that will help Apple get their foot in the door with consumers. However, I've never used it so I cant say for sure. The company I work at will most definitely be purchasing them as soon as we can though, very excited to either be extremely underwhelmed or extremely impressed.
Nah just a google account I only use for YouTube but don’t log out of. No email or maps usage only google search and heavy YT subscription and watch data.

Why do you presuppose that others infer & arrive at the same interpretations you do? Isn't your own form of generalization from the subjective inferences made from your own individual mind, to the thoughts of others, presumptuous?

I'm getting tired of the progressive tendency to read offence, bigotry, racism, sexism, transphobia, etc. into every little word & minutiae of nuance uttered by others. It's on the verge of induced pareidolia for outrage & victimhood.

Do you reside or hail from one of the aforementioned countries, or are you merely "signal boosting" and getting outraged on their behalf?

the question is: does it matter if a given expression fails?

if so, get the error and evaluate it -- like if json.Marshal fails in your http.Handler

if not, (shrug) -- like (maybe) if your fmt.Printf fails

James Marsden interviewed about the show:

> "I had many reservations, and the biggest one was the wild card of this one human being who's being dropped into this situation that is all fake and manufactured," Marsden says. "Is this even something that is ethically right to do, to play with someone's human experience over the course of three weeks of their life?"

> From the beginning, Marsden told show creators Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky (who also worked on The Office) that he didn't want to participate in a prank show. But they assured him that Jury Duty wouldn't be cruel or mean-spirited. Instead, Marsden says, the intention was to create a "hero's journey" for Gladden.

At least in the apple ecosystem, I learned that any medical claim must be backed up by clinical studies.

My simple heart rate monitoring app was almost blocked for not having any studies, and I had to point to the dozens of other apps that simply report the heart rate from an external sensor.
Does each LLC own property in the applicable town?
Nothing I can find about that in the changelog, but it’s possible. (Side note: “Development version: <a-u> and <a-U> now undo selection history.” Finally.)

My normal workflow these days is select first match with /, then N to accept match and continue to the next one or n to reject and continue; then edit all at once. (For me, the principal advantage of this over standard find-and-replace is that the edit doesn’t need to be restricted to the inside of the occurrence—for a bulk code edit, I often can’t quickly write a regexp for what I need to modify but can write one for something predictably close to it.)

Now that I’m thinking about it, your preferred workflow of confirming each replacement separately can be replicated like this for literals: use / to select first match, then Q, c, enter replacement, <esc>, Q. Then n to go to second match, q if you want to replace, n for third match, etc. (Here Q starts then ends recording a keyboard macro, q plays it back.) More complex replacements and regexp groups will be trickier but possible. (E.g. for s/whatever/before&after/ set up the replacement with /, whatever, <enter>, Q, i, before, <esc>, a, after, <esc>, Q.)

And now I’ve changed my mind on keyboard macros which I had thought were a silly feature for Kakoune. Hah.
I was incorrectly calculating based on 1 weight == 1 transistor which is totally wrong. This figure that you provided is more accurate.

We can see that today, the MI300X can already run inference for some open source LLMs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYVPDQfRcL0

There are almost certainly algorithmic optimizations still available. LLM-scale computing inside of consumer robots should be achievable by the end of the decade. In fact electric cars are probably the best "housing" for this sort of hardware.
PS1 PS2 PS3 PS4 PS5 had two controllers each system, no drift or weirdness.

Yeah someone must have it but we’re talking most of my life here no issues, I’d trust these controllers.
Having watched enough Derren Brown I wondered how and why he passed whatever tests and rounds were created to pick a contestant. Derren Brown goes to great lengths to pick great “suckers” for need of a better word.

They picked a good one - I think he “acted” better than the actors in terms of facial expressions, reactions and general gravitas.

They had to pick someone smart but not cynical/sceptical , not crazy in any way, with a personality, but will behave etc, and who had some leadership skills.
Right-wing sources might find him favorable for a few reason:

1. His sympathy towards anti-vaccination and other views shared by them.

2. His presence divides the Democratic side and weakens the incumbent's legitimacy.

3. The Kennedy legacy has confusingly become favored by (boomer) conservatives thanks to QAnon.
How is this different to beam search?
>Europe was at the center because they made the maps. It’s a simple reason. If some other culture has been dominant we’d be using a projection that makes it more useful for them.

IMO Simply moving the Mercator projection to be centered on China is far more meaningful than changing the projection. The entire world revolved around China and trading with it for thousands of years, and you much more immediately understand things such as

1. The importance of the silk road and the middle east. (and thereby the importance of controlling that region and thus the legacy of the Byzantines and later Ottoman Empire. To say nothing of Persia, The Greeks, etc)

2. The nature of the Eurasian steppes (It's staggeringly big and OP for horses)

3. The tendency to forget about those big oceans of certain death, as they were for tens of thousands of years. Europeans only sailed through them to get to china and avoid paying taxes to Muslims, after all.

4. Why, given the above, the Chinese call the 1840s to 1940s the "Century of humiliation"

Depends how many LLCs you own.
This is not a surprise—way late and way over budget. I think approaches like Helion’s [1] are a more viable approach. Their design is dramatically smaller at pilot plant scale. It’s radically simpler—short pulsed fusion reactions rather than trying to entrap, ignite, and sustain continuous fusion. Direct energy capture by magnetic field is brilliant IMO.

There are no right questions, only right answers. A question, by definition, isn't right or wrong. That's why it's a question, not an answer.

The very first step to being an intelligent person is not being afraid to ask questions.

The second step is trying to understand it even if you might reach the wrong result.

Only if you passed those first two steps you even have the hope of answering the question correctly.

And even a child can prove that 1+1=2, and if you're such an NPC you think it's hard to prove, I honestly find flat earthers more intelligent.

Ironically, you're acting like such a bot that you're actually quite good at contradicting my point. You're begging the question (like "why are vaccines effective"). You don't look for understanding but for knowledge to remember then repeat.

I always value more the person who tried and failed than the person who never tried. I don't think a layperson can conduct academic research, but I think they can try to understand.

And I think that those who tried to understand yet reached the wrong conclusion are still much better than those who never tried.
That's fascinating. I wonder how formalized and widespread this logic is -- did economists tell leadership, or did they just happen to organically hire spiteful leaders?
You didn't engage with the actual criticism.

You don't seem to have any knowledge at all about how personal data transfers work in the case of a merger or acquisition. Which is a radically different scenario from two standing independent companies exchanging personal data.

It's common practice and common sense that you get access to customer data when you take over a company, how else would you even run it? This has been true and normal for centuries. The concept still stands when applying the strictest of modern privacy laws, it's called "legitimate business interest". Meaning: there is no business without this data, the personal data is required to deliver the service at all.

So no, it's not a selling of your data, it's a change of control. And no, it does not require your consent.

If you don't want to see accusations of "sensationalist" you shouldn't confidently spread hot takes on topics you don't even seem to comprehend the basics of. And if you then go wrong and get corrective feedback as is happening on the Twitter spread, perhaps not double down.
I don't doubt that some "real people who do real work" will be turned off by the appearance of the Cybertruck. However I am confident it will have the best specs for the price of any EV truck and so some "real people who do real work" will buy the Cybertruck as the best choice.
In one or more of William Gibson’s early books, maybe neuromancer, there was a think called simstim where you could vicariously live a celebrity’s life as they live streamed their daily existence while wearing a headset.

Combine that and pornography and I think you’ve nailed it. Pun possibly intended.
More Greeks (and Trojans) didn't make it out alive in The Iliad? I do think describing something as an "odyssey" now has generally positive connotations (presumably Honda wouldn't have used it to name a vehicle if we still took it to mean "long and torturous journey")
This is misunderstanding. There are many situations in SI where two units boil down to the same expression in terms on fundamental units, yet addition does not make physical sense.

More clear example: both Gy and Sv are J/kg (m^2 s^-2), but to add two values, one in each of those units, you need to multiply one of them by a coefficient (that coefficient depends on the kind of radiation and specific organ that absorbed this radiation). So somewhere in the math world lives a constant that is unitless 1, but x Sv/Gy, where x != 1 (again that x depends on circumstances).

Those situations just happen. It's how physics work.
Then we need to give style keywords to the other networks too, and suddenly the gap shortens.

That is an argument for extending that privilege and advantage to everyone, not dragging everyone down into the mud.
Starcoder has this (imo stupid) openrail "responsible AI" license where you agree to not break the law with it, in order to satisfy the egos of the people that released it. And they claim to collect personal information in relation to that iirc. Huggingface doesn't require login for lots of models, though e.g. for stable diffusion I had to log in in the past and I don't anymore. And I've downloaded various llms without logging in.
Todd Rundgren wrote (or produced) an Mac app in 1990 called “Flowfazer” that was intended for meditative visuals. I remember lots of “is this what computers are supposed to be for” articles at the time.
I've been wishing that JetBrains and Posit (nee RStudio) would adopt the devcontainer standard, but then I just read this article [1] about how MSFT is using VS Code's weird mix of open-source and proprietary components to fracture the market and ensure that any competitors who try to build off of VS Code are at a permanent disadvantage. Now I'm having second thoughts.

Devcontainers are a good example of their strategy. VS Code's source code is open source, but the devcontainers extension is not [2] and alternative vscode-in-the-browser providers are not able to use the devcontainers extension as they're not allowed to use the official VS Code extension marketplace.

I haven't seen anybody suggesting the occlusion issue is or can be solved, along with the huge light leak that's native to normal glasses. I am sure apple is trying out all the angles on glasses AR, but I don't think you'll be able to get anything like the current Vision experience on them without some new physics.
One of Jung's more interesting concepts is that of enantiodromia - where things taken to extremes become their opposite. It's also a concept in the I Ching (where the "strongest" lines are the ones the ones changed into their opposite), and in Nietzsche's BG&E.
It seems like the bill requires your LLC/Corporation own property in the city, not just be any registered corporation operating in the area. Seems like a way to enable vacationers/landlords vote in local elections.

Technically correct, but https://dads.cool/about - the page which we are discussing - makes its political alignment clear. They feel the need to explicitly state that they will not federate with right-wing lunatics (Gab); but left-wing lunatics and tankies are apparently welcome.

I think that's just entrenchment at work. When the majority of your developers only know x languages, and one of them is always js, you tend to work by the lowest comments denominator and the tools that everyone can work with are the ones that stick.
> This is not good journalism...

Quite the opposite, to do good journalism you need to avoid[1]. Reality happens to exists, and science journalists shouldn't pretend otherwise by assuming that every single assertion no matter how outlandish has equal probability of being true.

On the topic of LLMs and developing more adaptive abilities, I was thinking:

LLM latency is a real problem for interactivity. Especially if you want to talk to it or have it talk to another AI (eg. A video game environment).

When I talk to someone, they don’t wait for my whole sentence to be spoken before parsing and processing and formulating a response. Sometimes they’ll even interrupt me. Can LLMs eventually do this? Can it begin to prepare a smaller collection of “thoughts” as it is fed a streaming input? Or is this at odds with what is actually happening vs. the human brain analogy?
It also is just a misleading set of complaints by a bunch of activists.

> CASSARA: ... overseas doing training, talking about the importance of cracking down on money laundering. And I would invariably have a student or a colleague come up to me and say, “Yeah, Mr. John, I hear you, but we’re conducting a money laundering investigation in my country, and it goes to your country, it goes to the state of Delaware. We can’t get any information about this company. Can you help us?” There was nothing I could do, and I was just embarrassed. Just embarrassed.

If these overseas people really did trace money to Delaware then they would not have a problem getting the beneficial owners because banks are required to store it under the customer due dilligence rule. If you say "well they may have given the banks misleading information" then there's no reason to think they would have given the government the correct beneficial ownership information either (courts in some circuits have held giving fake KYC data is bank fraud [punishable by up to 30 years in prison] whereas the penalty for deliberately submitting false information under the Corporate Transparency Act will be 3 years).

> WEITZMAN: ... Why would we set up a bifurcated system like that? Only because Delaware doesn’t want to add another question to its form, “Who are you?” And then ask its registering agents to verify that you are who you say you are.

> CASSARA: The bottom line is it comes down to money, okay?

Half the reason the registry was established was so that it would be *unified*. If states (plus the various territories of the US) were storing ID information all on their own special systems it would delay the implementation of the registry by decades. So they made one federal government registry. Yes, there's a trade off, but the alternative is no registry.
I’ve lived in Ontario and every province West of it and… same thing.

What does the bill say about jointly owned real estate? Like two people owning one vacation house? Do they each get one vote?

Then what about three different LLCs that each own 33% of a piece of real estate?

Then what about multiple series of a series LLC jointly owning a property? The individual series of a Delaware Series LLC do not need to be recorded in the articles of organization or registered anywhere else [0]. So you can create one series LLC and then unilaterally create an infinite number of distinct legal entities, each owning a small share of some real estate. Surely each series can't get its own whole vote.

[0] by my quick skimming of the bill the entity would have to be registered in the city's list of voters. No idea if there is a fee for an entity registering to vote, or whether the city could legally balk if you showed up with a stack of ten thousand voter registrations.
Absolutely not. Mergers/acquisitions happen all the time and the masses very much expect that service continues without action.
Beam search is like a breadth-limited breath-first search. This is more akin to a depth-first search where you give the model the ability to backtrack.
You might be special. (I'm not being snarky.) I'm a digital musician. 5 ms lag is just barely perceptible to most of us.

My intuition regarding proprioception is similar to yours, though -- give me laggy input of my own hands and I'm still pretty likely to get things right.
I have no idea what I'm talking about but I would speculate that looking at how.much.freaking.money these schools have provides us a window into what these schools actually focus on. The focus seems to be making and having a ton of money. This compounded by the trends we see in fewer tenure positions, worse pay for associate profs, a glut of admin positions and admin pay, etc.

So yeah, I'd say the observation that market logic is entering academia has some surface level reasons to support it.
Any more than that of countless other words, including plenty that simultaneously carry two opposite meanings? (cleave, sanction, hew etc)
