>However, in none of these cases was there any evidence of a systematic attempt to commit genocide, destroy local culture or conduct a state licensed reign of terror.

The evidence is still there until today, it’s called the British museum, where they had a souvenir for each atrocity done through out that time.

You can write all books you like, claim whatever you want, it won’t change the fact it was systematically evil and the intention is to exploit these resources in other countries, spain and France did it, in fact, france is still doing it until now in Africa.

Saying these are “isolated cases”, or “no systematic attempt” was there is like blaming a soldier in Iraq or Afghanistan instead of the ones who sent him, provided all the support, logistics, communication, intelligence to be there, and brainwashed him that he’s there as a savior from some local evil terrorist, and gave all the green lights to “do whatever it takes” in that operation, while in reality it’s just after the oil and resources.

He answered his own question and it is clear that he is suffering in his job. Why prolong it even further?

The reasonable course of action is to just leave.
>is RISC-V going to follow the same problems as the ARM SBC system where each board has an obscure and unique boot process meaning images need to be carefully pre-built with who knows what installed for each board.

No. Instead, RISC-V standardized the boot process early on, avoiding that situation.
The US is actually under-policed compared to Europe, probably because police officers are so handsomely paid cities can't afford many of them.
As someone else with 5+ years driving EVs with a CCS plug, they work for me, but I can see them being much more unwieldy for physically challenged folks. The Tesla connector is easier to manipulate and line up correctly with the charge port.
You’ve misquoted me entirely - my point was that being lazy cannot improve your situation, while working hard may have a chance of doing so.
Wait, how can the Chinese government revoke a Swedish citizenship? Surely only the government of Sweden can do that?

The guidance and control system seems to run on a GTK (?) app running on what looks like Ubuntu 10.04. An HDMI cable can be seen running to the monitor.

If I had to take a random guess, this system is probably some form of an embedded Atom/Geode type device (if not just a notebook PC) with some CAN or RS485/422/232 interfaces attached via USB.
> Not to pick on the JVM, but does anyone actually build new desktop software for the JVM that's meant to be downloaded and installed by mainstream consumers?

Does anyone actually build new desktop software for mainstream consumers these days?

JVM UI is "good enough", I've seen it used for businessey tools where the point is the functionality rather than the polish (including hobby tools). Honestly it may well be the best non-electron option once you think about the whole stack; with Qt you have to either write C++ and deal with that, or use the Python bindings and deal with that.
Wait. It's a wash because CCS tech which has been out for like 5 years is comparable to some future Tesla project? Tesla the company who have consistently missed fantasy deadlines set by the edgelord-in-chief?

This feels really exploitative to me.

I used to travel a lot for work and experienced first hand how large income disparities can affect people.

I also met enough long term expats who were really jaded. It always made me wonder if they became like that or if they were always like that.

IMO native widgets are dead. Users have become accustomed to the graphical gimmicks that are easy with a full-blown browser rendering engine.

Even a resizable background image is really hard to do with pure native widgets.

This means cross-platform libraries that wrap native widgets are dead as well. Now you need to ship your own rendering engine, and suddenly an entire browser looks reasonable. E.g. JavaFX isn't a featherweight either...

The problem with dislike counting is that the customers of Youtube (advertisers) do not want it, because they are spooked to have their ads associated with perceived negativity.
>Heck, you’d think people on hacker news would be all over open source alternatives to proprietary hardware, software, and services.

Yes, every PinePhone thread has people posting that it's unusable because it's not as good as a flagship iPhone or Android. Or the usual "not ready to be a daily driver" ... because the definition of "daily driver" is apparently a constant of the universe written by God so everyone is expected to have the same one. Meanwhile I've been "daily-driving" my PP for two years at this point because calls, SMS, voicemail, Firefox and the camera work well enough.
No, the question is do we as individuals think it is worth the trade offs. And so any answer here is irrelevant, because it only applies to the person answering the question.

Unfortunately for people who say no to it, it's the same as people who don't like fiat money or the gold standard or whatever: youre stuck with it whether you like it or not. I don't think this stuff is going away.

I don't know what "they" want, but I do know that back when tables were used, there seemed to be fewer problems. I assume that's because using tables is simpler to do and understand. CSS, of course, is more powerful.
What's the signal for SIGKILL?
I bought one of the Alesis kits (the Nitro Mesh kit I believe its called) this Christmas (guess why) since some of my drum friends (I'm a bassist) had positive things to say about them. They've been a riot so far, the hardware quality is plenty good for a bunch of hacks banging around on them, lots of good samples in the controller. I have played some of the really cheap Simmons branded ones, which were also a lot of fun but these are more fun for not much more money.
OpenAI Function Calling: Examples to Get Started
> No, of course you don't need to download the whole file to read it.

HTTP doesn't require this, nor do any of AWS S3/Azure Blog Storage/GCP Cloud Storage.

> "standard OS file handlers" -- this is a strong indicator that the person writing this doesn't understand how their OS works. What standard are we talking about? Even if "standard" here is used to mean "some common way" -- then which one? How the files are opened?

The OS's file reading mechanisms, whatever those are. For a C library, probably that means "fopen()" et al. which of course cannot read from, e.g., S3. (Excepting something like a FUSE driver, which the article does even mention, in passing¹.) Even if they mean something more native to the OS, like read(2)/write(2), or whatever Windows uses … it doesn't change the point?

They then describe an FS abstracting layer — those also aren't uncommon, e.g., gvfs, and often exist to bridge exactly the gap above: I have things like S3 that sort of look like files, and I have something that wants a file. I want to directly connect them. FS abstractions like what the article describes bridge that gap.

> The author didn't research the subject at all, and came up with an awful solution (vendor lock-in) as a result.

That the data is in Blob Storage seems to me to be a given in the article. I.e., we're starting with that assumption, so how can we make use of the data without incurring huge network transfers?

The data could be in some FOSS storage system running on your own servers, serving up its data using the S3 API … and you'd have the same article.

¹it's confusing that they say the FUSE driver needs to download the entire file. It shouldn't require that — certainly nothing in the APIs available require it. But … macOS; yeah. That's a rougher problem, and does push one in the direction of something like where the author went.
The emergency stop button is a version 2.0 feature.
Sure but a lot of things don't happen without that one person pushing for it. If Alex is correct that he's the one who pushed for it to happen and created the momentum for this product feature to exist, despite many others actively pushing against it, that to me deserves a lot of credit.

Now, I have no idea if that's true and to what extent it's true - it's common for ICs to be unaware of the work others have done behind the scenes to convince the right folks and unblock their work (not saying that this is what happened, just that it's not inconsistent with Alex's perception that he drove this himself) - but I'm not sure how anything you're saying disproves his version of the story. You could say that about just about every startup founder.
I presume these people have never had a job, where there just is someone else who decides what they are going to do and how they are going to do it. If they did they would see they signed up for a job but with no pay.

The community sees ‘the damage Elon has done to the community’. Corporate sees a company bleeding money being turned around. Regardless if it’s going to work out, investors aren’t going to be happy if their investments have turned into a great community and a monetary loss. It’s not a charity. So they appreciate someone coming in and putting a stop to the charity work and trying to start making money.

That’s why the people that matter, the people with a lot of money, put literal billions of dollars on the line so Musk could buy Twitter. While the people that don’t really matter, the people that block ads, the people that don’t pay, the people that don’t want to play along with the plan to make money, are ignored.

Money talks, bs walks.
Obviously situationally dependent (where you live, why you're calling) and of course you should have the ability to defend yourself if the cops fail to preform, but all that aside, that is not a universal truth. I called my local PD # a few weeks back because someone on a scooter got hit by a car in front of my house and I called the police (local PD directly, not 911, 911 would have been slower) and they had a unit at my house in UNDER TWO MINUTES. It's literally four minutes to drive (sans lights and sirens) from the police station to my house.

I know my experience is anecdotal and not universal, but neither is the "cops won't show up" one.
I like how with python you need to put quotes around "pseudocode" because the pseudocode is actually functional.

A large economy would never do that because it devalues their own currency. He’s currently making people buy Rubles with Euros AND there’s no transaction fee. Europe might be working toward energy independence from Russia but that’s still a while away.

Plus, what point does BTC have to Russia? They can’t exchange it for Fiat and no one accepts it for anything of useful value. At best It’s just an extra step between them getting their Fiat currency. He could convince other nations to use BTC, but he would be better off convincing them to use the Ruble. Nation States don’t want un-sanctionable assets - they just don’t want to be victims of those sanctions.

Even if Putin did do any of that, it just proves the SECs point. The US Government does not want people transacting with sanctioned nations and individuals. They would rather make it illegal than lose the financial power they currently have. For better or worse, governments don’t want crime (or more specifically their definition of it) to be supported by their citizens. This is why the SEC (and soon, Congress too, I’m sure) won’t stop. The existence of Cryptocurrencies are antithetical to their own existences.
Is it /s? If not, deploying a kubernetes cluster and over engineering it?
Sure—you just use a likelihood function that doesn’t assume reviews are independently and identically distributed (where each review is an independent Bernoulli trial) but rather have some dependence on other reviews that are nearby in time. For example, a (Markov) switching autoregressive model, e.g. [0].

Everything else about Bayes’ rule (weighting likelihood by a prior distribution and re-normalizing to obtain a distribution over model parameters) applies just the same.

I'm curious what you find exploitative about that?

When I visited a south east asian country I was very surprised by the wealth disparity. However, I'm not seeing the connection between spending money as an expat with a significantly higher income compared to the rest of the country and exploitation. If anything it could be argued that you are injecting more cash into the economy from outside.

Happy to be enlightened if I'm missing something!
> but rather that they already have that reason but perhaps will show you mercy

And this is what I take issue with. This leads to the systemic racism we see in policing. There is no reason why a cop should change their mind on whether to ticket you for the probable cause event after they leave their vehicle and approach yours. The decision should already be made and stay that way.

> which only makes sense if you're only considering the times you have no choice but to interact with cops

Yes, I agree, but the other viewpoint I have is that I refuse to interact with cops for any reason other than being forced to. I won't talk to them, I won't call them (unless it's an emergency and someone asks me to on their behalf - and then I don't stick around unless it's crucial), I won't even open my door for them unless they have a warrant. Unless I'm being detained or they have a warrant, I'm ignoring them. If someone burst into my home right now and robbed me, I still would not call the police (although, I live alone, and having kids or a spouse might make me reconsider that since I'm calling on their behalf). I have been held at knife point fixing my car in a parking lot (Seattle) and did not call the cops.
They really remind me of Tesla. Exploit bleeding-edge technology by doing things as fast and as cheaply as possible. This may sound glib but I really do blame Elon for making "move fast and break things" acceptable in the world of hardware.

Loooong ago, I had work that required APL. It felt very cool when IBM sent me a Selectric APL type ball! Wish I still had it.
Wow. It's both amazing and for some reason horrifying that this can run on an iPhone 11 (non-pro), and at reasonable speeds!
The first is that the trap can come at any time. You can't assume at what point in the script it was running, so you have to test for different cases to find out what you now can/should do. Forget an edge case and now you've got an extra bug. Not using traps, it's clearer what happens at specific points in the execution of the rest of the code, so simpler to reason about how to deal with those cases as/where they happen.

The second is different events can trigger an exit trap, and those may have different implications on what's going on.

The third is there's parts of standards left out about what happens during/after a trap or when they get called, what data you have available, and different implementations can behave differently.

Fourth is that sometimes people will use an exit trap to, say, report on a failure, but they may have lost context of what block they were in when it exited, and now the error reporting doesn't tell you everything you wanted to know.

I can't remember more specifics atm because I stopped using them like a decade ago. I'll still use them to clean up temp files, but I also have to add the cleanup logic to the start of the script in case it didn't run.
Nobody can tell you what a gold oz. worth of wheat is without resorting to exchange rates of gold to actual currencies.
This may be "unfair", but how does a social media company that more than doubled its headcount almost 3 years ago, to more than 2,000 employees, not have a WCAG/accessibility team or such that accessibility seemed to be the one thing that made spez take two steps back? Hell, just by existing you’ve probably gotten an ADA shakedown or two in California. So what the hell? Is it true that the mobile app is so bad that it outright breaks VoiceOver?
I have the same keyboard (MX Keys). I didn't have the flashing-light problem, but the lights nevertheless would constantly turn themselves off, after a very short (~5s?) period of inactivity.

I spent a not inconsiderable amount of time trying to find a fix, including removing an internal cable and putting electrical tape over the top. Nothing worked. The closest I got was keeping the wireless keyboard plugged into its USB-C charger so that the timeout period before shutoff was longer than it was in battery-only mode.

All of which is annoying, because it's not cheap (>$100), and the fix is so stupefyingly simple - an addition of one or two settings in the configuration software. And, yes, countless people have reported this to Logitech and their 'support' consists, at best, of saying "I'll pass this on to The Team".

Never have I been more tempted to go all-in and become a firmware hacker, though the feasibility in time and probability of success are both quite low.
SIGKILL can't be handled. It's the signal you send when you don't want to give the process a chance to handle it.

I wonder how this compares to Flash Attention (https://github.com/HazyResearch/flash-attention), which is the other "memory aware" Attention project I'm aware of.

I guess Flash Attention is more about utilizing memory GPU SRam correctly, where this is more about using the OS/CPU memory better?

A good chunk of the people I know that I had in mind when talking about it definitely had essentially unlimited (for all intents and purposes) trust funds from their parents.

That didn't change the fact that the art jobs they were doing were soul-sucking, even when they were working solely for themselves (literally just working on art pieces to try to present and/or sell as a part of their own business or for art galleries). Which was evident to me, based on how they would have multiple "burnouts" per year where they stop doing anything at all.

Imo being successful in art is like being successful in other fields with a long tail-end of success (where the top 1% or 0.1% is doing great, and very few actually care about the works of the rest), such as film/athletics/music/etc (with the only difference being that art seems to be more difficult to break through without pre-existing financial means).

Everything is to some degree promoting something else. Are the myriad articles in the past few days promoting OceanGate Expeditions? Their competitors? Titanic tourism in general?

old.reddit.com looks rather dated to this 53 y/o bloke. Very busy too. I don't actually care because content is king and presentation is not but it would be nice if it looks good. Modern Reddit looks OK to me but I have recently deleted all comments I've ever made on Reddit and also my account. I will keep the mail alias alive for a while to see what shite turns up.

For me Reddit was a new and vaguely exciting thing once and I used it for around a decade and have now discarded it. I've dumped the Register too after around 20 years. I have no idea why I still have a /. account! that's next along with Facebook.

Back in the day I was asked to investigate this new fangled world wide web thing by an org with loads of cash and twiddling thumbs and I reported back it looked a lot like Gopher and WAIS but different. I might have also mentioned Teletext too.
