Wago use a spring loaded contact to touch the wire and there are at least two of these in series for every connection. This works quite well for currents up to about 20 A, and if the Wago is applied properly: straight wire, right thickness and proper length stripped. Obviously if you mess any of those up all bets are off. But assuming proper installation that 20A is still a potential issue: lots of gear has a multiple of that for a short time when starting up. That's when contact resistance starts to become important, and as connections age mechanical resilience comes into play and what was borderline before may become a problem. Contact resistance is ideally constant but as connections age they are pretty much a factor of how much copper is in contact with each other and this is where wire nuts do a better job. So a brand new Wago splice and a wire nut splice will probably have approximately the same contact resistance, but several years down the line it may well be quite different.

Motors and other large inductive loads are especially nasty in this respect, which is why there are several 'curves' in use for ground fault interruptors. The most common, the B curve will do a max or 3 to 5x for a short period of time before it kicks in, but a C or D curve can go much, much higher. And then that contact resistance (which wasn't such a huge problem so far) suddenly is a problem. Now you're generating serious Wattage in a small space that has no good way to get rid of the heat. Imagine an elevator motor or a shop lift or or something like that. This sort of application is where I would never use a Wago. But for regular low power stuff in my house I use them all the time, lights, bedroom outlets and so on. But my 17 KW Solar inverter is using crimped on joints and I checked the torque on the screws in the plug to make sure it's all up to spec. Those are not things to mess around with and hope it will hold.

If you want to have some fun take a FLIR across an older exposed installation, it will definitely help to visualize what contact resistance will do.
> Alongside that vote, the city’s quality of operation has noticeably deteriorated. Encampments are more common, drug intoxication to the point of collapse and physical decay is highly visible. Robberies have become commonplace.

These have been mainstay of San Francisco life for at least a decade: some neighborhoods suck and have a ton of homeless folks, and where they are tend to move around (in gentrifying neighborhoods). I remember the first time I moved here almost a decade ago and was shocked with the drugged homeless folks. They're still there.

Those protests will go the way of the Google Bus protests: make a lot of noise, before they disappear.

Call me old fashioned, but I'd say that good old fashioned canvas or paper is the perfect technology for wall art. Do we really need to mine the Earth of god knows what just so the wall doesn't look bare? If everyone who bought this thing spent the money on some art from a local artist not only would the artist be over the moon, they'd help sustain their local creative scene and most likely make their communities a better place.

> It sounds like a bored student was disrupting the education of 30 others, so teachers punished them more than the other students? They should have probably kicked you ahead a grade if you were so far ahead of your peers, but that would require someone in the situation to attribute your behavior to boredom rather than mere defiance. Did your parents not suggest such a thing? Was it not an option for some other reason? It sounds like a change of environment brought you away from old grievances and that the increased coursework gave you something to do. It's completely possible that a grade skip in the same school could have done the same.

Most of my time in that school was fine, I just got unlucky one year and got a nasty old tenured b* of a teacher who decided from day one that she hated me and directed constant negative attention towards me. I just wanted to be left alone. I had had 5 consistent years at that school already without problems, but she was besties with the principal. Later on in her career she got rubberroomed by the school board, so I don't think the problem was me here.

Death on the streets via drugs, assaults and homelessness but because locals want more "empathetic leaders", that are hard on big business, so the leaders focus on that. Recent SF politicians are not proactive. They are reactive and in the worst way. They use bureaucracy to clog the system and strongly believe the status quo is good enough. Mean while, the urban area continues to decay, albeit slowly thanks to the regions weather and views being sought after. Very similar to national level politics where filibusters and repeals are trying to maintain the status quo or go backwards for the sake of the "better times". All these people are not leaders. They are just people who know how to get theres while they make you think you are getting yours. They don't care for the future at all.
I looked up some numbers to check and 200g of sugar is an enormous amount. A dozen Krispy Kreme donuts a day doesn't get you there. The only likely way someone is consuming that much sugar while not being overweight is if they constantly drink soda. Unfortunately, that's a decent chunk of the population - some googling comes up with 5%.
Eh, I'm not sure about that.

Tesla started from scratch and developed large-scale manufacturing and logistics from first principles. It was hard, but it's put them in a hugely advantageous position today. It turns out old-school manufacturing for ICE vehicles doesn't translate directly to EVs. Yes, Ford (for example) can build EVs, but they're not cost competitive with Tesla, because they're optimized for something else. Tesla produces 100x as many EVs as anybody else.

Now, was Tesla surprised by the difficulty of manufacturing, because they didn't know what they didn't know? Maybe, I have no idea. But in retrospect, it wasn't a mistake to ignore the accumulated wisdom of the car industry. It turns out the old-school companies don't know what they don't know either.

Reminds me of the quote "the A students lead the C students, who are the bosses of the B students"
Thank you for offering to answer questions.

Is Cinder something that could help optimize real-time streaming? We had a UDP stream and then through multiple gstreamer and nvidia deepstream magic (which I believe the senior dev implemented in Python) we perform some ML inference on the stream in real-time.

However, latency is a major issue here and to get to our MVP we didn't really prioritize optimization, as is tradition.

So now I'm wondering if Cinder as something that can be used to optimize real-time data streaming is a thing or whether me asking this just shows I don't understand its use case.

Either way, thank you advance for your insight.

(Also we used Django which I am now wondering if I should have switched out for FastAPI, but that's a separate question)

I'm no fan of Meta/FB because of their attitude to privacy and their own brand of toxic social media on Facebook but it's hard to argue against the approach taken with the launch here.

I don't believe the approach is conservative in as much as it's necessary product development: you have to know your audience, your market, and by virtue that means you know what you aren't going to cater for. No hard news, no divisive politics, no journalistic commentary? Totally fair and I imagine many will find that refreshing; same reason why people come on HN for the technical niche except this time it's optimised for Instagrammers and influencers.

Musk made his own play with Twitter in a similar vein by choosing what audience he preferred to cater to and, in effect, scored an own goal of epic proportions. A truly ludicrous display given Twitter's ubiquity before he took the reins.
It’s a good question. I believe SF will rebound as a city, and that it remains the indispensable center of the global technology ecosystem.

My level of certainty is such that I’m personally betting my livelihood and savings on it by building a startup here.

It’s really hard to uproot an ecosystem where multiple stakeholders are co-located (founders, developers, ML engineers, VCs, accelerators, executives experienced with tech business models) and move them elsewhere.

The specific cultural factors around openness to experience, centrality to internet culture, and global orientation are difficult to find or replicate in other cities.

But the short term disruptions are going to be painful due to the shift to remote work.

Right now this is compounded by very bad policy (saying this as a registered member of the DSA. This is not a left vs. right issue.)

We need basic enforcement of laws and provision of city services to allow the city to recover in a reasonable time frame.

It depends heavily on the model you're running, and to some extent what you're doing with it. It also depends to on prompt effort. The quantized llama 65b model (you can do it yourself, or pull something like https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/llama-65B-GGML) is probably the highest quality for general purpose, but it does take a fair bit of effort to prompt since it's not tuned for a use-case.

It's also not licensed commercially, so I avoid some things with it (ex: I do a lot of personal learning/investigation, but it doesn't touch or write anything related to work or personal projects)

The open models are a little further behind, but it's interesting to see them spin off into niches where they have strengths based on tuning/training.

Right?! This is the dumbest bit from a pretty dumb statement. Politics is just people working out how they're going to interact with each other. There's no way to cordon that off from anything else. You can certainly pretend that those industries don't interact with politics, but that's just another form of politics.

It's a very weird one.

createRenderPipelines uses the branch to add #version 460 to the beginning of shaders (one would think the platform backend could do that for you, also this won't support GLES2 or GL3), and also makes the programmer build a sampler/uniformblock mapping table.

That's... perhaps needed if you're on GL3 because you don't have access to binding=N in the shading language and you don't want to do any shader parsing in the backend, but also, you're forcing it on GL 4.6, so... huh? Just use explicit binding in the shader and the binding index APIs.

The render function uses USE_OPENGL_BACKEND to adapt for the -1...1 clip space. Sure, again, glClipControl is more modern than your minspec, but you're already forcing GL 4.6, so WTF. Also, it's not hard to write device_->adjustProjectionMatrixForNativeClipSpace(); that does a matrix mul.

It also makes the shadow render target have a color attachment (wtf? depth-only targets are supported just fine in GLES2/GL3 to my knowledge), and it also... doesn't use an index buffer when rendering? (EDIT: This is because it's using a 32-bit index buffer, which GLES2 doesn't support. But it's a much better idea to split it into multiple 16-bit index buffer draws if required than drop the index buffer entirely... also, you know, shaders have 4.6). I give up trying to understand what's going on. Oh, and despite building the uniformblock mapping table from before, you still have to use glPipelineState->getUniformBlockBindingPoint? What on earth?

This does not impress me.
That sounds incredibly backwards to me.

How about accepting new realities and changing homework assignments instead?

How is that possible without becoming an echo chamber? I believe it won't happen without categorization in question/answer/redirect/objection + grouping into opinion-direction per group to curtail baseless attacks and attempts at homogenization to "be right". Everyone can be right in their own way anyway, just formalize it.
If you're a diligent tester, none of the open source models can touch GPT 3.5 yet, however, in practical terms, some of the 60b and 30b parameter models are almost indistinguishable from GPT 3.5 from the layperson's perspective. Now, if you consider the uncensored models, then you actually have some capabilities that GPT 3.5 and 4 are completely lacking.

Based on the rate of progress in the open source world, it won't be more than a year before we have an open source model that is truly superior to GPT 3.5

There's no lawsuit. There was a letter sent from Twitter's lawyer, and it's a complete joke. Meta has already denied that any former Twitter employees worked on Threads.
Do you have some specific examples of this playing out?

I’ve been a product manager for products that had no telemetry, and that can be a rather undesirable place to operate, especially if you’re in the enterprise space where product changes can impact the operations of businesses.

I think it’s certainly possible to focus on the wrong things, but I don’t see that as an outcome of telemetry itself as much as an outcome of a product team that doesn’t understand the problem space or customer base.

The attributes to capture are presumably based on what teams understand to be key indicators about their app/service. I think confident incorrectness armed with bad data is just a slightly different version of a complete lack of data. Such a team was operating on whatever they imagined to be important before, and they continue to do so after, albeit with greater conviction.

But good telemetry in the hands of a good product team can be immensely beneficial for decision making and can protect customers from bad decisions. Anecdotally, my ability to pull numbers about certain attributes has been key to my ability to shut down executive pressure to make changes that would have drastically impacted customers if not for the direct evidence that it would.

I’m also not claiming that downsides don’t exist, and privacy is always my primary concern, but there are a range of outcomes based on the maturity of a team/company, and as long as the PM understands that data is not an alternative to having a relationship with customers, I think data is pretty important.
Maybe I am paranoid, but just because the data isn't being used for bad things now, that doesn't mean it will always be that way.

Also, when people are not 100% transparent with what data they are collecting on me and my usage habits, I lose a lot of trust in them.

I use VS Code to hotpatch hotpatchable code. Half of the stuff I write is in Rust and I'm not smart enough to go and change bits of an executable.

But for Python it works out great, except for when the container doesn't start. If it doesn't start you can't connect VS Code to it.

The trick then is to use `docker cp` to pull out the file that breaks the python process, fix it, `cp` it back and try and start the container.

If possible I like to change the EXEC method to `/bin/bash`, the COMMAND to `tail -f /dev/null`, and execute the python process in an interactive terminal. That mitigates the container not starting issue... unless `tail -f /dev/null` fails. But if that's the case I've got bigger fish to fry.

If you want politics the correct place is your local townhall, want news subscribe to a quality paper. Instagram is decent precisely because it is limited to the kind of content I trust Meta with.

— Software could not expect internet connection (or any network at all) to be available, and would be considered really arrogant if it tried to dial or spend user's traffic by default.

— Those who knew how to enable those features probably checked update sites and news sites manually often enough.

— Almost all software had to bundle required components and updates anyway. Games came with DirectX version 5/6/7/8/9 installers, IE version 4/5/6 installers provided important system components, acting as semi-service-packs for 9x systems… and, of course, Visual Studio library dependencies.
