> It does, every 4 lane road we have changed to a 2 land road with cycle lanes has done that here.

Which is, while some may disagree, an overall positive change. Road widening has shown time and again to have little impact on congestion. If you widen roads, more people will choose to drive; if you narrow them, more will choose alternative modes of transit.

> It doesn't go where people want to go any time they want to go there.

Mainly due to chronic underfunding and low ridership. The vicious cycle of "funding drops -> service quality drops -> ridership numbers drop -> funding drops -> ...".

> Periodically people are assaulted using it

On the topic of violence, many more injuries and deaths are attributable to passenger vehicles then all other forms of transit combined. Not to mention the long term health effect of exhaust on air quality with a city.

Unfortunately I'm one of them, and the reason why I bought a car in 2018 and haven't taken transit in town since.
You’re right. I first discovered Gear Patrol many years ago and they featured some pretty cool products and I was a huge fan of the photography and aesthetic of the site. These days, I can’t help but notice just how often the same articles circulate the site and always with affiliate links. I have been visiting it less and less along with Uncrate.com (which did similar things).

Most of the time, the rock drums you hear are recorded in the studio. This will sound different from live drums.

My experience mixing drums is limited… the way I’ve done it is by starting with overhead microphones to capture the sound of the full kit. This sounds kinda like what you hear live. I then mix in kick mics and snare mics, and run those through compressors and EQ. The compression you put on the kick and snare is a big chunk of the formula for getting drums to sound like rock drums. I was shocked the first time I heard it, because it goes from sounding like drums to sounding like rock drums.

Rock and roll has a very compressed sound to it. In the 1960s and 1970s it was a matter of necessity—you compressed so you could record a clean signal on tape, and then compressed some more because you liked it. Nowadays we use software to get similar results, either through emulations or new designs.

4% usage doesn’t mean only 4% prefer it. It’s a buried setting that’s default off, that alone makes the choice for ballpark 80%. It doesn’t support mobile, which drops another huge segment, and it doesn’t support “new” features like images and tags, and Reddit spent years aggressively pushing everybody to switch. I wouldn’t be surprised if 4% is the vast majority of Redditors who actually tried both and had the opportunity to choose.
It depends on your definition of "normal". A lot of high-end chips are completely unavailable on the open market, with manufacturers often not even willing to publish a product brief - let alone a datasheet. Try finding a Displayport MST hub chip, for example!

Things are indeed very different for the RP2040. They are widely available in both small and large quantities, and have excellent documentation publicly available. Alas, they are not SoCs!
Oh dear, robocat has escaped the lab and it's self aware. Pull the plug now!
FWIW I read that statement as "I can't believe they didn't flame out before they got this far". Which is also, well, I won't call it naive, but it's wrong for trickier reasons. You can get lucky for a long time before it runs out in a bad situation.
asks for no more

Thus far, this is significant. AI only does things because we tell it to. It has no desire to create, or to improve itself, or to advance the state of the art.

Will this change? I don't know. I don't presently see how it really could -- we could program AI to simulate wanting to improve, but is that the same? It's still us initiating it. It will be interesting to see what develops.

Yeah, with also provides a nice finalization call, but there are a few differences:
- with requires the subject to implement a particular interface.
- multiple with calls either nest, or they execute in the order they’re written, as soon as you exit the block. Multiple withs nest uncomfortably deep.

Go’s defer, and this she’ll one, turn statements into a stack where the past defer executes first on exit.

Was thinking more as a "global" queue (like how psql/libpq will go look for a socket to local postgres in "the right place") - and a binary/program "event" could "magically" store ("on") and process ("emit") events in a db file /tmp/event.<namespace><random>.sqlite3 - creating/initializing or re-using db file as needed...

So keep the api, but support cross process queues, more or less.

Rather than splitting, we can positively tokenize: recognize lines as items that match lexical tokens. They will include the terminating newlines that we need to trim away.

We need to be tolerant to files that are not terminated by a final newline.

This regex seems to do the trick (under the TXR Lisp tok function):

1> (tok #/[^\n]*./ "")
nil
2> (tok #/[^\n]*./ "no newline at end of file")
("no newline at end of file")
3> (tok #/[^\n]*./ "\nno-newline")
("\n" "no-newline")
4> (tok #/[^\n]*./ "line\nno-newline")
("line\n" "no-newline")
5> (tok #/[^\n]*./ "line\nline\n")
("line\n" "line\n")
6> (tok #/[^\n]*./ "\n")
("\n")
7> (tok #/[^\n]*./ "\n\n")
("\n" "\n")
8> (tok #/[^\n]*./ "\n\n\n")
("\n" "\n" "\n")

A line is a (maximally long) sequence of zero or more non-newline characters, followed by a character.

LOL; I don't think I've ever used regex-driven tokenizing to recognize Unix-style lines in a text stream.
The more we have screened for anxiety disorders, the more people reporting anxiety problems has increased. Why should I not believe these screenings are going to cause widespread mental illness in order to enrich the medical community with a new cohort of insured patients?

Because that’s what I believe is exactly what’s going on, these anxiety screenings don’t work and they cause deadweight loss which is probably making collective mental health worse. Attempts to label more and more of the population as mentally defective so you can “treat” them is not progressive when your treatments fail at the population level.

If you test for something, you will find it. You can by the way use things like SSRIs or CBT or Benzo’s without having to describe yourself as having some sort of mental illness by the way, but our sick system encourages people to be described in the most disparaging ways possible for insurance reasons. You don’t have a “cautious deposition” or a “nervous mind”, no you have the mental sickness of an anxiety disorder. You can’t fix anxiety in this way, you will only make it worse, which is the point.

1 in 6 are already described as “disordered” by anxiety.

You're in a lose lose situation imo. You have no allies, especially if your manager isn't backing you up or seeing the same problems you are seeing. Regardless of how you feel about your contributions to the company or its future success, at the end of the day you are just a cog in the wheel and will always be viewered as replaceable. But something you didn' tmention is, what is your goal here, do you want to stay at all costs, or try to find justice? I don't think you'll get justice, but I do see a way for you to just bow down your head and stick to your own tasks, make sure you don't make any more mistakes, and ride out your stock options before you leave. If you want something more, you'd need to play the politics game and find allies in power who will protect you and defend you.

Btc isn't just crypto, its the block chain too. So not only can you pay/collect, but it's publicly available and things like smart contracts are easily possible in an open environment.

So we can do things like say: send x btc to y address if weather.com reports it's 50 degrees in Des Moines on May 8th at 9am, or whatever, all sorts of settlement problems are solved with no middleman who can stop it.

Three general thoughts.

As a honkytonk sound guy I love good electric kits, but I have subs. They work great, though perhaps I'm just running into the really good kits.

I know a pro drummer who gave himself tendonitis from the rubber head kits, and having owned an octapad and similar triggers, I don't think I'd want to own anything that isn't a mesh headed kit.

I live in an apartment and have thought about getting one so I can rehearse a band in headphones, but they can often be quite loud just hitting em and they transmit noise through the structure. I don't think my downstairs neighbors would be okay with it; I don't enjoy it when their kiddos sometimes slam kitchen cabinets. So if that is your motivation, you might be careful about that.
lemmy.world, for whatever reason, absolutely guzzles CPU cycles. I can't imagine what it could possibly need to do that requires executing that much javascript. It's all minimized, so it's hard to follow in the profiler.
Here is what the haunted house looks like with Dall-E ~3 (Bing Image Creator):
https://www.bing.com/images/create/a-haunted-house-with-ghos...

Generally, this model is much better than Dall-E 2, and it beats Firefly in some areas (I didn't try Midjourney or Stable Diffusion). Firefly usually produces photos with significantly fewer visual mistakes (like the wrong number of fingers or messed up faces) than the Bing Dall-E. But the latter usually understands prompts much better and more often produces something that matches it well. Firefly also doesn't "know" a lot of pop culture or history things, e.g. Marilyn Monroe, or what Coca-Cola is.

there might be some psychology about a) low-effort postulation b) mentioning money amount directly, which is directly different for different economies and life circumstances. It is my opinion but it might not be constructive.. for example I am easily offended by "all money all the time" type talkers, and there are many variaties of those.. its not inclusive but its not an inclusive topic either. last, harsh times call out harsh talk.. the economic stories here are so across the board.

I'm a gigging jazz drummer and just cause you mentioned "with the back seats down", I gotta say: I always wish there was a car that was optimized / defaulted to having the back seats down. But in a pinch, on those rare occasions where you actually have more than two people in your car, you could pop some seats up.

Every car I get (currently have an Hyundai Elantra GT), I end up with the back seats down 75% of the time, and it just looks crappy. If the default mode was back-seats-down, with no big seams or gaps or unlevel parts, I'd be in heaven.

The major difference is serving the public I suppose. I would admire a scrappy vessel for research (SV Seeker for example) but if you are essentially building a transport service for the consumers, you are now being irresponsible.

All credit to SV Seeker, it is a wildly impressive project, but I don't think they would be mad if I suggest they had the resolver spirit while putting that vessel together.
Also keep a map of truck stops around, all of them have restrooms and most have showers.

100% this. If you’re building apps that call LLMs, most of the magic is already in the model, and what you are concerned about is tracking inputs and outputs.

A browser database and React is all I have needed for my LLM apps.
A funny little story: I once had the unfortunate incident of being in a situation where my reading was restricted like this. My initial attempts failed when I ordered some generic coding books, nothing special. But color me surprised when, after making the titles more exotic, I managed to get a ton of goodies! No Starch’s Metasploit one was a personal fave.
I'm adding this to my dotfiles because it just seems so dang useful, but this really seems to be the intersection of elegance and hackery that's the epitome of shell scripting.

> 3. Bitcoin, which the SEC considers a commodity (it's explicitly excluded from the lawsuits), is bound to become even more dominant in terms of market capitalization. The longer Bitcoin survives, the more it will get adopted and integrated into the world's financial fabric, e.g., as a store of value. If this sounds far-fetched, consider that many smart and smart-sounding people have predicted Bitcoin's demise, and so far their arguments have been proven wrong: https://99bitcoins.com/bitcoin-obituaries/ .

I have not seen a single of use Bitcoin within 50km of me _and_ online outside of uses in degenerate countries and trading them for the sole purpose of trading them.

This feels like flat-earth theory, which will never go away, but their "science" if you call it that, is so flawed that they can't be used for anything outside of small terrestrial physics.

Similarly, Bitcoin itself will never go away. But there is no way the average folk will be able to wield them given how many times they have been scammed out of their fortune.

We should optimize for clear and concise code between experts. You’re going to be an expert for most of your career, and that’s when your time has the greatest value.

OpenAI screwed up that one by trying to control it. StableDiffusion on the other hand, gives me hope that AI can be high quality and open(not only in name).

The only real end to this is reddit taking ownership over moderation, and hiring paid moderators for all the subreddits, turning off user created subreddits.

Maybe it'll also mean turning off user generated content too, and only have admin made posts, the same as Digg did. They could hire the power-users to keep making the relevant posts.

If they said they were, and I did, presumably.
Sure you could and I bet there are a number of VC backed startups that do only this.

But there's usually a lot of reasons why these architectures could be a useful reference. In my project, I host my own trained LLM and one of the cost efficiencies comes from being able to cache at every step along the way. Then there is a large private media hosting consideration.

There is room for all sorts of setups and I kind of liked how the article mapped out some of the common paths.
Yes and no. I would like my children to grow up to be a better version of me, one where my mistakes are a foundation for their education, where the good I do they do better etc.

I made up my mind a long time ago that my children can be anything they want, as long as it is good, as long as what they want does not hard others.

I want to introduce my kids to programming, but I also want to see them experience art, sport, and music and everything else the world has to offer. I don't care if they are programmers, I care that they get a bit of an experience at it.

I would rather they grow up to be better than me.
As I get older, I see this sentiment as very naive. The tacit assumption seems to be that every individual would review and approve every detail of every endeavor that they personally undertake. But that's just not how the world works. There are plenty of everyday people who want to attempt very reasonable and achievably safe things. You can stop people from taking advantage of others, and if there's any constant in history, it is that there are plenty of profit-seekers who will attempt to rip off other people, and we can eliminate a good number of these circumstances, and I think this is a good idea. To get it you need a reasonable society in which checks and balances exist, and it's a society which largely already exists in large parts of the world and has not gotten out of hand.

So interesting that even though their mathematical representations may differ, both the Jaccard index and the Tanimoto similarity essentially capture the same concept of similarity between sets: the ratio of the size of the intersection to the size of the union. Hence, they result in the same values, given the set operations, and are often used interchangeably.
