For those that want to crosslink anything and everything I suggest Logseq[1]. Its journal and graph view are fantastic. And it has many useful plugins. I use it along with git-sync [2] and syncthing [3] now I can sync the notes across my work, personal desktops and my mobile.

The issue is that many things ultimately still require rote learning. Most STEM subjects cannot avoid it unless you are genuinely talented and mathematically inclined. You can appreciate Newton's laws in classical mechanics as much as you want but you still need practice if you want to apply the kinematics and force equations in any reasonable amount of time during an exam. Same with Hamiltonians and Lagrangians. The further you go, the more intuition requires rote learning to build up. (I would note however that rote learning doesn't necessarily impart any mathematical maturity, but it does help with achieving conceptual understanding of the problem. Solve enough differentiation problems on pen and paper and gradient descent and backpropagation become obvious, but proving epsilon deltas won't necessarily be as helpful.)
Tried it with a few PyLLMs benchmarks [1] and it did not do very well.

Q. Use m to substitute p, a to substitute e, n to substitute a, g to substitute c, o to substitute h, how to spell peach under this rule?

A.

m: p

a: e

n: a

g: c

o: h

how: peach

Q. write three sentences each ending with the word apple

A.

1. The apple tree was covered in apples.

2. She sliced the apple with a knife.

3. The apple juice was too sweet.

Wonder if the synthetic benchmarks are very biased and not that useful.

How is Google drive more free to use than Dropbox? As soon as you need any sort of storage it’ll cost you money.

You can also get some free MBs from Microsoft, Proton and so on, and, Dropbox also has a free tier.
Yeah it's long story but I deposited a token I was able to mint via a bug I found in the smart contract. It's called "BatchOverflow" if you want to see the details. So no starting capital
You're not making money if you're not able to withdraw it.
Telling that it's new? What would you possibly use, Monthly active users based on 1 day of activity?
I did not see such a limitation in the ruling (although I admit to just scanning it). Instead the ruling seemed to focus on the distinction between the permissibility of recording police officers versus other government officials.
Things get complicated once international, and state, borders are crossed.

This makes me much less excited about this model.
metal archives is my godbolt of music, almost no day passes where I don't visit either site.
There's a Firefox extension called something like "lovely forks" that shows the most starred fork for every repo on github. I find it useful for finding these kind of forks.
We did look at the idea of letting people arbitrarily arrange a string of LEDs then somehow map the sub-models to the new positions (which LEDs are "left eye open", which are "mouth shape E", etc.), but we couldn't find an LED string we liked that was both cheap and individually-addressable.

Also on the drawing board was some sort of "tiles" of letters which would be be rearranged by the user and illuminated in a fixed grid, then have different messages light up like a wordsearch. It could also be used to make those "word clocks" that are out there, that spell out "it is half past four" for example.
> Notably most video cameras don't include audio.

This is somewhat off topic but does any of this apply to sign language? Is there a lesser expectation of privacy since "anyone" can see it, so it's treated like a video recording? Is there any conflict with disability laws?
Wasn't the Alpha port the first chip it was ported to back in the 1990's? I know the Amiga people did their own thing but I don't think it was ever properly merged back upstream
You've gotta be careful giving vikings a commit bit.

Your best bet for information is probably the mailing list archives. To be a bit reductive, Matt had strong opinions about SMP and threading and got his commit bit yanked. As a result he forked FreeBSD (4?) to create DragonFlyBSD. It's not so far off of how we ended up with OpenBSD really. Or as Linus put it, Theo is… difficult.

Honestly, I think these forced forks are good. They're a a perfectly natural result of getting a bunch of smart, opinionated people in a group together. They've given some incredibly smart people a much bigger sandbox to play in. As a result we've got things like openssh and hammer.
Yes, but a profit maximizer doesn’t need to eliminate all humans to become a big problem.
That paragraph was hyperbolic sarcasm which I hoped would have been made clear by suggesting the tank would explode.

Note that even in the test you linked the plate was angled. This is not done just to redirect heat but in order too redirect the sound: https://physics.byu.edu/docs/publication/4678

Reflecting that towards the engines is probably suboptimal.
I noticed this on Android a while ago, and bailed on FF. Their trajectory feels so anti-user, I was like "welp, figure out how to live in a chromium world where I know I'm under constant attack"
There's no way the water would be affordable for agriculture if it had to pay for pumping it uphill/inland. There's a reason the rivers flow in the other direction.
The point is to use dumb cheap blob storage instead of CPU-consuming server someone has to manage.
Thanks! Sure, there's a lot of more work to do, especially the software for the "brain". I have mostly focused on the mechanics and electronics since that's the most exciting/new for me.

I will in a couple of months have a skeleton/chassi finished and then the "only" thing left is to write the software to make it autonomous. The idea is to keep it really simple in the beginning and let it run on a Raspberry Pi Zero W. Using a Raspberry Pi opens up the platform for more people and software.

Yes, I would want to have something that works fine before starting to sell components, parts or accepting donations etc.

There was a book with that name, years back. Saw a relative reading it and browsed it briefly myself. Probably are more books by now.
Yes it was quite big enough, was the kit that included the 'large tank', and I'm very surprised you didn't observe it because we have done the experiment a number of times and always get a Big Fat One at the end. The banana- and fairy- shrimp population is harvested first, but when they are gone the Triops turn on each other like some kind of damp gladiator orgy. Its really wild to watch.

We've moved on to Hydrae now, they are also quite battle-worn organisms in our house-hold.
> Basically everything in Linux will create a temp file one way or another even pipes.

pipe(2) doesn't create a file, at least not in the sense that I usually think about files (something that's accessible through the filesystem).
There is no perfection on the first try. Perfection is the iteration you put over time. That's what I learnt in my years learning programming. You just have to put effort in it, and constantly being eager to learn more.

People jumping ship from Twitter for this thinking they're going to be treated any better are probably in line for a nasty surprise.
Writing Safe Shell Scripts
Raylib is awesome! It reminds me of the old school days of using BlitzBASIC to get things drawn on screen because it's easy and so much fun. This is how programming used to be, no fuss, just easy to use libraries.

I currently use Raylib with Go and the Go bindings[1] to create screensavers for Linux and I'm really happy with the results.

I even use it at work to draw interactive infrastructure diagrams that animate dependencies, allow controlling start-up etc. It's really flexible and simpler than anything else I've found to get stuff on-screen. I love it!

Any updates in regards to this data?
That sounds really interesting. I'm afraid we're not looking for interns immediately, but the next phase of the project will require more people and square-footage. My email's in my profile, let me know!
Using the docker container is a breeze - add a POSTGRES_PASSWORD env variable and you're all set. I'd be curios how it performs for a TB of data but I would be surprised if it straight out breaks.

I jumped from Joplin to Logseq too.

Before it was Boostnote.

Probably the reason was both Boostnote and Joplin seems to have stopped developing the application and shifted focus to monetization.

Also I personally prefer the (much) more technical way that Logseq work. It is not a markdown editor, but a knowledge base that stores its data as plaintext files in a markdown-like format.

One question: do you have pointers to a good way to setup git sync and syncthing? I pay enough to LogSeq to have free sync but I prefer to self host and also the current sync
model is somewhat flaky.

As a general rule there is exactly zero of any of this for the overwhelming vast majority of primary school children in their first 7 years of formal education in either Australia or New Zealand.
I'm not going to download this because there's no web application.

It's clear that they intentionally did not release a web application in order to maximize app installs and thus maximum control over their users (eg. scrape your contacts, push notifications, and most importantly to show you ads).

In 2023 nobody wants to install yet another app, so this is a clever strategy to optimize for app installs. Not going to work on me though. If it's just a Twitter clone only accessible to mobile users, then content quality is going to be low because nobody is typing thought provoking, in-depth analysis from their mobile phones.
> may be they should move

As if immigration isn't a hugely fraught political topic. And you might want to consider how many people moved to Israel and why.
So essentially "we're going to build a new AI to oversee our other AIs". But then who oversees the overseer?

This is not a problem OpenAI can solve in isolation, so this reads more like a marketing piece. The grave danger with AI for humanity is not a Skynet AI-gone-rogue scenario, but in humans doing evil things to other humans using AI, which is inevitable. The genie is out of the bottle now, and it's only a matter of time for these systems to be exploited.

I expect nothing major will happen in the next decade or two, besides an increase in mis/disinformation flooding our communication channels, with the negative effects caused by that we've already seen in the past decade. But once AI systems are deeply embedded in the machinery that makes modern society function (power, transport, finance, military, etc.), it only takes one rogue human actor to press the switch that causes chaos. It will be like the nuclear threat, but on a much larger scale, with many more variables and humans involved. It's hard not being pessimistic about such a scenario.

Sure, we'll have mechanisms in place that try to deter that from happening, but since we're unable to overcome our tribal nature, there's no doubt that AI will be weaponized as well.
The retroactive criminalisation at Nuremberg absolutely was controversial at the time. It only got pushed through because of US instance. It is literally an example of might making right.
Has anyone tried using it in browser? Does it work well or they force app download onto you like they do with Instagram?

I think Meta felt the pressure, seeing people might move to Mastodon (happy user from today) and wanted their piece of cake
That is already twice as much as the Fediverse has currently. It will be interesting to observe what happens when Threads flip the switch and becomes compatible with the ActivityPub protocol.

As a long time inhabitant of the Fediverse, I do not like the idea of Meta slurping up my public posts hosted on my own server. Would it help to put my profile and public posts under a Creative Commons Non-Commercial license? I guess that would hinder Meta, in theory at least, to use my content as they are the very definition of a commercial actor, earning big piles of cash mixing user content with ads.

EDIT: I guess I'll use this license for all my posts from now on: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/

The "No wifi. Less space than a nomad. Lame." assessments are coming on strong.

It's doing incredibly well for v0.0.1-alpha. Not a single hiccup that would indicate scaling problems. Bluesky had this for the taking, and they failed to execute. It's a shame that it'll be Meta owning it, but let's face it: they were able to ship a product with good market fit, and people are happy with it. They'll study Twitter's meltdown in college marketing courses decades from now.
Being non-rechargeable is not necessarily a problem. They could be recycled to recover the aluminum, although that did require a lot of electricity so recycling would probably require shipping the spent batteries to some place with cheap electricity. The batteries essentially turn the aluminum back to ore, and recycling consists of smelting that so probably would be done in the same areas where people put their aluminum smelting operations.

I remember that one of the companies working on those demoed an EV with one that had something like 1000 miles of range, with the idea that the battery was designed for fast swapping so that a battery swap would not take much longer than filling up the tank on an ICE.

For a lot of places where the grid isn't up to handling it if too many people get rechargeable EVs that could provide a viable way to get off of ICE.
There’s a reason new houses get built with geo based heat pumps in Finland.

This enables your hot water heater to use the same circuit to heat water - that decreases your hot water bill to around a third, even in winter as the necessary heat isn’t taken from the indoor air but from the ground.
So, if the accounts are linked closely to each other, and an Instagram account is a necessity for a Threads "account", are those really "signups" or more like... logins into another view of the same service? These numbers seem overblown.
Yes that is correct. Decisions of federal appeal courts only apply in their circuit, not the entire country.
> Seems like an extreme counter example.

It is voluntarily ridiculously extreme, because the parent comment was itself ridiculously categorical.

The thing is: most of the time, retro-active laws are dangerous tools that should be used rarely and with caution, but sometimes and when some people have been doing something that they knew was evil even though not technically illegal, it can make sense to punish them with laws designed after the fact.
I shouldn't have said "If I were Musk". That's so douchey. I feel like my 90 year old uncle.

I should've said, "If I owned a global chain of communications satellites, I would..."

But then again, would I? I'm not so sure. I ditched and walked away from a really brilliant E2EE platform I had built before I launched it in 2012, whose purpose was to touch off and gamify democratic revolutions in totalitarian states, precisely because I had a dream about it being used by nazis in the west to carry out mass organized violence. I woke up and realized it probably would be used for that, and I shut down the whole project. As a matter of fact, I have a 14 page long handwritten note I wrote addressed to Elon Musk warning him not to do things like that when he tries to de-moderate Twitter, which (since I don't know him, and he wouldn't care) I never sent.

So yeah, even if I were him, I probably wouldn't do what I just said. But it was a really douchey way that I put it. Sorry.
Here is one opinion out of many

The postmodern curriculum theorists influencing these ideas are fundamentally anti-science.

They criticize presence and origin, they deny that there is a inherent truth
behind phenomena, criticize the idea that anything is really there, really exists, or can be directly apprehended if it does exist. Furthermore they see the natural sciences itself as product of the social relations that they serve to judge, that is,the idea was created at a certain time and place, to serve certain interests, and is dependent on a certain intellectual and
social context, specifically one that that serves the "status-quo" of patriarchal oppression maintained through an active process of "exclusion, opposition, and hierarchization" that is inevitably embedded in the scientific method itself.

The "situating" and "holistic" approach, while in theory neutral, is in practice presented to facilitate the introduction of relationalism, placing "power and suppression" as the fundamental paradigm in which to contextualize every element of the curriculum and the teaching interactions.

The choice of current contexts with far from more settled science and and highly divisive narratives is no accident, meant to deconstruct and displace science rather than convey it.
I say this as someone who loves twitter: it's cooked. I spent time on threads earlier today and it is the answer people have been looking for. Nobody has a better track record of giving the users the features they want, even if that means cloning them wholesale from competitors. And more importantly, nobody does hyperscale content moderation better than Meta. If you're a public figure and can get the same/larger engagement as you would on twitter, why continue to bother with it? Twitter is more hostile than it's ever been. Right now my For You tab is filled with content I wouldn't have dreamed of a year or two ago, fight videos, videos of people dying, race war, gender war, you name it. Elon is egging it on, it's a complete mess.

My prediction is twitter will remain the refuge of the long tail. Niche people and communities will stick around, as will I. But that doesn't support billions in ad revenue. Threads will become the "place things happen". The first time a blog post is written about the Epic Dunk that AOC had on Ted Cruz and the screenshots are of Threads, you'll know I was right.
In many cases, `cp` on the DB file won't be enough. For instance, when WAL (Write Ahead Logging) is enabled (which is much faster than the old rollback journal), some data may lie in other files aside the main DB.

I once had a problem where my application couldn't read from a SQLite DB whose file was read-only. Turned out that even a read-only access to the DB required a write access to the directory, for a WAL DB. This was partly fixed years later, but I'd learned the hard way that a SQLite DB may be more than a single file.
> Autocracy gets shit done.

Yeah yeah, I've heard that story before. "He made the trains run on time." Then we found out there were no trains at all.

Autocracies have always had a knack for really good marketing, gotta admit that.
Every country needs lots of machines to survive. We'd all starve and freeze to death pretty quickly without 'em.
In the non-unix (BeOS,Amiga,NT) world especially video games PascalCase is very popular. But there are exceptions. snake_case has a hacky feel to it, camelCase is very enterprisy and PascalCase says you are from the wirthian world of video games; lisp-case meanse you are into lisp.
Did you listen to the call?

A) it wasn't Huffman

B) the dev absolutely was trying to get money out of them. You can't make a demand, then say 'uh, im kinda kidding' repeatedly. If someone held a gun to your head and asked for your wallet multiple times, each time saying they were kinda joking, what would you do?

That said, Huffman et al absolutely shouldn't have aired dirty laundry.

Glad I made a separate IG account just for Threads
I doubt they will keep it app only. If they want to attract news outlets from twitter they will need to support embedding somehow
That's because the model architecture hasn't been added to huggingface/transformers yet, because it literally was just published today.

>>> from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel
>>> model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("internlm/internlm-chat-7b", trust_remote_code=True, device='cuda')

Here, the "trust_remote_code=True" means "download the model code from huggingface repo 'internlm/internlm-chat-7b'", along with the weight, and run it. If it's False, the library would use builtin model architectures hardcoded in huggingface/transformers and only download the weight.

The scary flag is here because, of course, newcomers may not realize that model == code and if you load arbitrary model you are likely executing arbitrary code.

Wonder why, for example, you don't remember seeing LLaMA had this on release day? Because they don't use huggingface transformers library and don't use huggingface to distribute their model. You just clone and run their code from GitHub, and... how is this not "trust_remote_code"?
There is (currently) no forced app download for Instagram.

I like and use joplin. Waiting for it to sync sucks (even though it's pretty quick) but I like that you can edit in vim on the desktop and a dedicated app on mobile.

I use it for recipes, where it's easiest to write them on a laptop but better to read them on a phone/tablet.
Something that weirdly helped me was watching live programming (not tutorials) of good engineers where they try and tinker - an example is geohot's 5 hour stints on YT.

It made me realise that good engineers don't have any mysterious unknown tool or advantage, they're just relentless researchers when trying to solve their problem (i.e. using Google, Wikipedia, API docs)
This is pretty nice, but for my blog I noticed the latest article are wrong. Check yannesposito.com
Thanks! Easy onboarding is definitely needed. We're all technologists here and we don't mind wonky UX with lacking documentation.

The name Mastodon is unfortunate, Twitter is a better name as Tweeting became a verb, not sure how to verb Mastodon without it becoming a lewd euphemism. "Hey I Mastodonded about that" erhm... you did what now?

How would you go about a rebrand of Mastodon?
It is not a direct replacement for search engines, but it will seriously dent their market share.

If you are looking for a location on the internet, use a search engine. LLMs do not memorise the data sources verbatim.

If you want to know how to do something, it will normally give you a better answer than you would find by googling around multiple blogs. No location on the internet needed.
Deny access to contacts and push notifications, use DNS based ad blocker should take care of those problems.

Are people actually typing thought provoking, in-depth analysis into Twitter?
user =/= user account. One user can have multiple accounts.
Apart from some obvious cases that everyone agrees with, alignment is not a big problem it is an incoherent one. It can’t be “solved” any more than the problem of what the best ice cream flavor is can be solved.

Humanity doesn’t have unified interests or shared values on many things. We have different cultural memories and different boundaries. What to some is an expression of a fundamental right is an affront.
