Another thing I like about Mastodon is the lack of an algorithm. I only see posts from people I explicitly choose to follow (or posts those people explicitly choose to boost).

I do not plan to follow people who are excessively toxic or negative. If Threads launches, and 100% of its users are toxic, I will not follow anyone on Threads. But that seems unlikely to me.

Edit: I suppose it's true that people I don't follow can still reply to my posts. Idk, I suppose it's possible that federating with Threads would make my replies super toxic. But, like, let's see how the community develops first.
No, we don't agree at all.

The whole point is that they are trying to use the words "open source" to appeal specifically to people, like those here in this thread, who work on free and open source software in the FSF/OSI sense.

This is a message for the exact group of people who use the term of art because they're practitioners of that art.
Saudi buys a lot of US weaponry and sells like 70% of their oil to Asia. If anything they conspire with the United States against India/China to keep oil prices high in exchange for supporting US military industrial complex - or something along that line
I have no issues with the efficiency of fuel cells. It's the overall efficiency of producing hydrogen in the first place. The "well-to-wheel" efficiency (though with green hydrogen there isn't an actual well). It's very energy intensive to create green hydrogen, far more so than charging a battery. Losses on green hydrogen are 50-60% of total energy used compared to <5% on a battery. That's a huge energy deficit to overcome that will always result in an opex difference. That's why I'm bearish on hydrogen for personal transport, but bullish on it for things like very long distance trains and farm use.
> but it empirically performs the worst with a roughly 50% correlation to on-the-job performance. You’re better off flipping a coin because at least then you’re not biased.

I was going to point out that a correlation of 50% is pretty good (specially for predicting job performance from a single interview), whereas flipping a coin has 0% correlation with anything that is independent of the coin flip (such as job performance).

You probably meant to say the probability you rank job-performance of two random candidates correctly based on an interview is about 50% (what your source calls "percent concordant"), a correlation of 0%.

Out of curiosity: do you remember which section of the book looks at "chat about tech" interviews compared to other kinds of tech interviews in regards to their job performance prediction capabilities?
That's an accurate assessment of the situation, according to every AI alignment researcher I've seen talk about it, including the relatively optimistic ones. This includes people who are mainly focused on AI capabilities but have real knowledge of alignment.

This part in particular caught my eye: "Other assumptions could also break down in the future, like favorable generalization properties during deployment". There have been actual experiments in which AIs appeared to successfully learn their objective in training, and then did something unexpected when released into a broader environment.[1]

I've seen some leading AI researchers dismiss alignment concerns, but without actually engaging with the arguments at all. I've seen no serious rebuttals that actually address the things the alignment people are concerned about.

Anecdotally I'm on the latest update and haven't noticed any SSD slowdown. Still cold-boots in 5 seconds and Crystal disk benchmarks within the spec of the SSD.

Maybe it's some weird edge case on certain SSDs, certain FW, and certain apps, but the the quality of the article is just empty trash.

lol I game on my 2019 MacBook Pro 16'. If you run Arch on it, you can use Steam Proton - or use Bootcamp with it.

You will need a fan, but it works really well - you can run the Witcher 3, Cyberpunk (albeit not at 60fps) and many, many games very well.

Steam Deck is another piece of hardware, you can get away with using a lot less.
I did a double-take when I saw that too. It’s now prescribed as a weight-loss drug and is very much in the zeitgeist so yeah I think it’s a new adjective. Personally I’m going to stick with “light weight”.
why not? we're growing heavy water using crops in places with little water. logic is not always the deciding factor if involved at all in a lot of modern things
You'd be arguing wrong imo. No one sits down solo and has to design a system to scale in isolation,and if you do then something up the chain from that moment went very wrong.

It's a pointless academia by proxy situation that encourages filling out teams with the kids of people who csn architect and tinker forever but have no capability to actually deliver software anyone wants to use. This becomes more clear when you look across the last 10 years in FAANG and list out what products have actually been delivered that are improvements to users and customers vs what's just infrastructure padding and bought in though acquisition.
The best thing that could happen to the ME and the US is disentanglement. We're not helping anything over there, and they would very much like us to fuck off.

Israel has nukes, we can still protect them without invading random Arab countries every 10 years.
This (and GitLabs UI in general) does not compare well to GitHub. The most obvious difference is GitHubs better sense of visual hierarchy due to smart usage of shadows, shaded backgrounds, and colors.

But GitHub also understands which information to emphasise, and what to hide. In contrast, GitLabs UI often feels like they scattered as much information as they could, with no thought to placement and grouping. For example, in the before, why is the number of jobs displayed next to the MR, and then the MR is displayed again further down?

They're also often unnecessarily explicit: spelling out "3 minutes, 12 seconds" instead of "3m 12s" and using full sentences instead of definition lists.
I've never seen anyone appearing less qualified in parliament or interviews. Pablo Rodriguez isn't being roasted for his foolish responses and the Canadian media is losing credibility by taking sides. Seeing less national cartel linked media stories will do everyone good. The government not advertising on social media is positive.
It is as boring as getting a real PhD, good job to the dev lol
Apparently a tiny minority of people are bothered by it. I was looking for information about the logo a few weeks ago and stumbled upon this anecdote: https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-chat/2011-Novemb...

>I just got a call from the owner of a hotel for which we provide hotspot service. She says that a guest spotted the "Powered by FreeBSD" logo at the bottom of the login page, and was offended; the guest was convinced that either we or the hotel management "worshipped the Devil" and refused to stay at the hotel unless the logo was removed.
That was pleasant. Thanks!

It's server racks with basically iLO on steroids.

To be fair, simply being server a company that's easy to deal with is enough of a differentiator in this space. Would absolutely blindly buy from them just to avoid having to deal with HPE/Dell

OP said “hardware”.
I assume you are worried about off-gassing, and direct ingestion of harmful chemicals.

TLDR: We stack up really well.

1) No flame retardants are used in the upholstery. We worked really hard to meet the flammability requirements with materials that aren't doped in endocrine-disrupting flame retardants. So that was a big win, because that is the largest chemical exposure in legacy car seats (in my opinion) and it is one that the scientific literature is very clear about.

2) The chassis is mostly machined aluminum (powder-coated) and polycarbonate. On the underside of the chassis there are some bracket retention pieces that use a standard cyano-acrylic glue ("super glue").
Any chance you'll do a larger one? I've wanted exactly this but closer to ~13-inch to replace the "family wall calendar".

As I alluded to in my comment, I have a ton of experience with such systems. And no, it was not some "golf-and-steak-dinner" - it was funded by a non-profit environmental organization, literally. I'm serious, AMA. Don't make shit up - reconsider your first point.

Your second point re: how model-driven code generation can be a dead-end... I totally agree. I didn't say it was a good idea! But it was motivated by a real need: generating lots of web apps in a particular domain.
Good. This was a dumb decision to begin with, fortunately someone convinced Elon that it was dumb.

Now, I understand why the initial decision was made (to prevent scraping, and to control the costs associated with being one of the most (if not outright the most) scraped sites on the entire internet), but it's not like Twitter's ownership is poor, nor is the company bleeding money to the extent that its owner needs to "right the ship" so much that they impose draconian policies.

They are owned by a guy worth nearly a quarter trillion dollars. He spent 45 billion dollars buying it with zero plan as to what to do with it. They can afford to loose a few bucks here and there so that everyone has access to its info.
My point is that there’s a small loophole still open actionable for powerusers right now but that won’t be the case for too long. Probably the best thing is to start migrating to a different platform, or at least start thinking about it.
Yeah, split_once is pretty handy, although chaining together can get a little verbose. It would be nice to write this:

let (y,m,d,h,m,s) = break_str!(s, year-month-day hour:minute:second)?;

instead of this:

let (y, split) = s.split_once('-')?;
let (m, split) = split.split_once('-')?;
let (d, split) = split.split_once(' ')?;
let (h, split) = split.split_once(':')?;
let (m, s) = split.split_once(':')?;

You don't have to do a size-limited demo. You can focus on writing some kind of cool animation and/or music that is only or mostly code (as opposed to a video file or huge animation tables) and that's your first demo.

Some demos I liked watching are tens of megabytes, e.g. https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=57446 . I'm not sure why that still counts as a demo, but I suppose as long as the the sequence of things is mostly driven by code, then it does. Perhaps it's like 500kB of custom stuff glued onto a 42MB off-the-shelf game engine like Unity, which I think should be totally okay to count as a demo. Obviously this won't be competing in any size category.
Intrresting
To me this is a entirely separate problem.

I’ve noticed that when less experienced people try to solve a problem, they have to look up how other people do it first.

But someone more experienced has a strong understanding of technologies on an abstract level so they can whiteboard a solution without even involving any specific software (then compare to how others do it). When you think that way, you’re not worrying about JSON or XML. You become neither tied to last year’s tech or too eager to try new tech. You just build something solid that’s reliable and long-lasting.

Knowing about different tech used in different designs expands the pool of legos that you can snap together and so it can’t hurt.
Can you tell me the difference between your product on the types of prescription cgm + insulin pump combos like dexcom/tandem which offer some level insulin control?

There's a big difference that your life choices mostly only affect you. Governments specifically are focused on issues that affect lots of people. If everyone only votes for a candidate whose views perfectly match their own they'd only have one candidate they can vote on: themselves. At the end of the day the government has to make a decision that hopefully reflects as close to consensus as we can get. You could get there with direct democracy, or representative democracy where the representatives reflect proportions of their views in the public. I'm not sure we can get there when our representative has to simultaneously reflect the views of everyone in a localized region. Across the country there may be enough vegans for instance to have their own representative but in any particular district they will never have enough numbers to have their concerns addressed.

> You still need some way to encourage the creation of new content.

Do you? What's the argument for this? Is there some sort of extreme shortage of creative work that the state should find it necessary to encourage it? How about we end copyright, and if there's ever a problem, we offer copyrights for a short period to fluff the commons up again. A copyright anti-holiday, as it were.

Instead we do the opposite: automatically copyright everything anyone produces, and make it very difficult to surrender your copyright (unless Google or Microsoft want it, then if you object you're literally a Luddite caveman who is trying to turn back the clock on modernity because you're old, stupid, and afraid of fire.)

Larger displays are not excluded as a possibility, but I like the current size for placing it on the desk.
Also, larger displays are disproportionately expensive, and the display is already the main cost driver.

It supposed to be CBC. Some (many) believe it fails its goal.
Actually deserts can be quite windy, especially deserts near the ocean. Wind forms when there's a pressure differential, and the most common reason for a large pressure differential is when there are two adjacent areas with a significantly different temperature. So when you have a desert next to the ocean, the desert cools at night and then during the day, as the air in the desert heats up, it lowers the air pressure on land and pulls in air from the cooler air over the ocean. This phenomenon is why the SF Bay Area consistently has high wind and good sailing conditions during the summer, especially in the afternoons.

That said, none of this contradicts the overall point you were making.
China chip material export controls just the tip of the iceberg, warns official
> I expect that by 1975, say, the number of high-end hardware installations was a lot more than 80.

Are you sure? Wikipedia notes that for the Cray-1, released in 1975, eventually "eighty Cray-1s were sold, making it one of the most successful supercomputers in history."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cray-1

Yes, yes, there's a difference between high-end mainframes and supercomputers, but there's also a difference between mainframes and the PDP-11, which is better categorized as a minicomputer.

Personally, I find the dismissal of Multics to be less about reality and more about the perpetuation of pre-existing lore. The Xerox Star and Smalltalk also did not fare well in terms of commercial sales, but they tend to be lionized in computer history rather than treated as a joke.
My POV is that llama.cpp is primarily a playground for adding new features to the core ggml library and in the long run an interface for efficient LLM inference. The purpose of the examples in the repo is to demonstrate ways of how to use the ggml library and the LLM interface. The examples are decoupled from the primary code - i.e. you can delete all of them and the project will continue to function and build properly. So we can afford to expand them more freely as long as people find them useful and there is enough help for maintaining them. Still, we try to keep the 3rd party dependencies to a minimum so that the build process is simple and accessible

There was a similar "dilemma" about the GPU support - initially I didn't envision adding GPU support to the core library as I thought that things will become very entangled and hard to maintain. But eventually, we found a way to extend the library with different GPU backends in a relatively well decoupled way. So now, we have various developers maintaining and contributing to the backends in a nice independent way. Each backend can be deleted and you will still be able to build the project and use it.

So I guess we are optimizing for how easy it is to delete things :)

Note that the project is still pretty much a "big hack" - it supports just LLaMA models and derivatives, therefore it is easy atm. The more "general purpose" it becomes, the more difficult things become to design and maintain. This is the main challenge I'm thinking how to solve, but for sure keeping stuff minimalistic and small is a great help so far

> What if GG didn't want such a thing? When is something like this better for a separately maintained repo and not a main merge? How do you know when it is OK to submit a PR to add something like this without overstepping (or is it always?)

I try to explain my vision for the project in the issues and the discussion. I think most of the developers are very well aligned with it and can already tell what is a good addition or not

"Apparently somebody had left a wrench there when they filled it in 1995," he said. "When they drained it in 2000 the wrench had dissolved."

I dunno, I think if you left a wrench soaking in regular water for five years there wouldn't be much left of it after that either.
