I'm guessing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrex#Composition :

> Beginning in the 1980s, production of clear Pyrex glass products manufactured by Corning (and later Instant Brands, after the consumer division was spun off and renamed) was also shifted to tempered soda–lime glass, like their popular opal bakeware.[27] This change was justified by stating that soda–lime glass has higher mechanical strength than borosilicate—making it more resistant to physical damage when dropped, which is believed to be the most common cause of breakage in glass bakeware. The glass is also cheaper to produce and more environmentally friendly. However, its thermal shock resistance is lower than borosilicate's, leading to potential breakage from heat stress if used contrary to recommendations. ...

> The differences between Pyrex-branded glass products has also led to controversy regarding safety issues—in 2008, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission reported it had received 66 complaints by users reporting that their Pyrex glassware had shattered over the prior ten years yet concluded that Pyrex glass bakeware does not present a safety concern. The consumer affairs magazine Consumer Reports investigated the issue and released test results, in January 2011, confirming that borosilicate glass bakeware was less susceptible to thermal shock breakage than tempered soda lime bakeware.[30] However, they admitted their testing conditions were "contrary to instructions" provided by the manufacturer.[26][31] STATS analyzed the data available and found that the most common way that users were injured by glassware was via mechanical breakage, being hit or dropped, and that "the change to soda lime represents a greater net safety benefit."[28]

Congratulations, we can build your solution in 25 years. Maybe. If there's still enough water to run any of it. And food. But there won't be.

We really do not need much concrete or steel. What we need is bioplastics, biocomposites, wood, fused sand and a lot of farming practice changes. Some breakthrough in water desalination or cleanup. A lot of people will have to move.

There's no way around it now.
Socialism in Western Europe stopped to be about collective ownership of means of production very long before the fall of the wall. That was maybe the goal of sub 5% far left communist parties, not even mainstream ones.

Nepotism, corruption and waste of resources are well established even in non left wing countries.
The book the post mentions, A philosophy of Software Design, has a lot to say about having lots of small classes. It’s not in favour. That book is also strongly in favour of comments, lots of them. This book is well worth reading.
That is 100% wrong. Even in the very capital of corruption (in the US, anyway), Chicago, the slogan was "good government is good politics."

In other words, doing a good job with the boring stuff is also good for getting elected.
As a personal example, I left the military reserve because, inter alia, the joy of serving my country mattered less than the tax beating I was taking for being bumped into a higher bracket.

That is: (dis)incentives matter.

Maybe we can agree that our tax system is a Byzantine train wreck in need of reform.

If you use mTLS client identity is proven cryptographically (normally via /CN x509 field) - no need to exchange the key during authentication. You still need to generate it and distribute it to the user and manage its lifecycle which gets you to the same place as OAuth except with worse library support
>but it's a truth that must be confronted

Why? I really do not care anymore. How much have been poured in? How many marshall plans in $? While Germany rose from a bombed out nation in 1945 to the EU's strongest economy?

South Korea too is even more impressive, from an illiterate peasant nation to now with Samsung and all that.

Japan got hit with the most destructive man made weapon, twice. Granted, they were an Asian powerhouse up to WW2.

I think the key is education and "making your own shit". Have any African nations made weapons, planes, tanks, communications equipment, trains, cars, and now computers and phones in the same ilk?

Being Swedish, we are 10milion only and have made planes, submarines, ericsson + vast mining and forest operations with assorted companies. :)
$300k (household) isn't upper-middle, before the term became diluted to mean "middle, but with a little left over every month"—the upper-middle of Fussell's Class and The Official Preppy Handbook

- Good private school for a kid or two (guess what one of the bribes to Thomas was...). Not gonna get away with much less than $25k/yr/kid, there, and it goes up from there.

- Long vacations expensive places a couple times a year (again...)

- House somewhere nice (notably, however, the public schools can be shit, which saves a little money here)

- Country club membership, or similar

- Don't have to do, at least, the ~50% of chores you hate the most (you pay to have them done). Ditto the worst parts of childcare.

- (optional, but recommended) Attendance of fancy functions (esp. e.g. charity events–what's the point of it all if you don't feel fancy?)

- Second property with housing on it (doesn't have to be lavish, but can't be quite as shit as a hillbilly fishing shack, which even poor country folk sometimes have)

- (optional, but recommended) Any money left over after that.

That's gonna be $400k+, household, in a cheap but not crazy cheap market (who wants to be fancy in truly bum-fuck nowhere? Though your vacation property might be there...) in 2023. Bare minimum ([EDIT] that won't get you much of the "optionals", I mean, and the rest is gonna be teetering right on the edge of having to start cutting items—and then, only if you're somewhere relatively low COL).

You aren't living, to a certain social class, if you start having to sacrifice much of that. That's how you're supposed to live.
Using a public facing database, but using an IP address allow-list to restrict access is pretty secure. cc should publish the IP addresses they use.
I mean, what is the difference between this proposal and what happens in overcrowded cities in third world countries? I'm pretty sure this approach does not increase safety in those countries.
I’d like to distribute training data. (I’m one of the authors of The Pile, which was recently knocked offline when The Eye stopped hosting it due to threats.)

I also have the entire books3 dataset — the original epub files, not text extractions — sitting around on a hard drive. Many people have wanted metadata or to reprocess the set for their own purposes. I’d like to release those, but distributing 190,000 epubs is a little… hard.

Sadly 50TB of traffic per month is almost nothing when it comes to disturbing 800GB datasets. I’d spend 150 euros a month for a solution, but it’d need to be heftier.
Yes as I say, it means having funds deliberately not invested waiting for a crash, which is timing the market and relies on you predicting the market.

The reason why many of us still reach out to C++, is that in many cases the option is only between C or C++, and from both, at least C++ provides some safety knobs.

You could use a similar engine to keep track of things and feed them to GPT could provide new descriptions or ideas, or use functions provided by the engine to modify map state or run appropriate commands according to the what the user says.

To start, it could be as simple as giving GPT the list of valid commands for the user state and location and having it translate if the user asks for something that is equivalent but doesn't match the command exactly.
Does your idea of a good developer experience include programs that are reliable, won't crash in production, won't be compromised, and save you lots of time later on so you can just focus on writing code the first time? In the absence of these guarantees, your developer experience can include some very frustrating and/or stressful debugging.
It is clearly not impossible, the paper clearly states that it's thermodynamically feasible, even if not practical at 1970s
I love Yocto for embedded work, and used several distributions before that used Yocto at the core like Wind River Linux, Ostro, or BalenaOS, as most of the times embeeded or IoT/IIoT lacks in the resources department, and mostly are using arm-based SBCs like Rpi or Jetson Nano, making it a no brainer for such cases. For the users who are questioning the package management or support issues, a way is to use containers and run base image, getting the best of both worlds!
Yeah, in AT you'll get referred to an Amtsarzt from the ÖGK before anything - Also pretty sure the employer is off the hook and you get the money straight from either the ÖGK (federal health insurance) or the AMS (unemployment office) for any sick / disability leave longer than 6 weeks.

That is kinda India's domain though. Aided by their even lower wages and seniors being susceptible to phone calls, not digital comms. "Hello this is Microsoft calling, we need to fix a problem with your computer". There seems to be an upsurge in this crime lately.

Similar to Serbia India's government seems highly acceptant of these scammer callcenters. They seem to operate without any legal intervention. IMO the country should be hit with sanctions for it, that'll end it in no time.

The Tutsi and Hutu split stretches back before colonisation too.

You could make the argument that it was always going to be a problem and the colonizers didn't materially affect the course of history.

What you can't do is argue they didn't intentionally take advantage of this split for their own purposes. Because they did and it's documented history.

edit to add:

Here's a pro-apartheid Quora answer that suggests the separation of the different tribes was necessary to stop communists from stealing South Africa's mineral wealth.

> Apartheid gave these tribes their land back. Apartheid gave each tribe his independence from White Rule. Yes you lived ‘apart’ from the whites. But you lived apart in your own country. You could choose your own leaders and government and destiny.

> Communism was one of the driving forces to push the Black Independence program. The communists were using the blacks to try out vote the whites so that they could get control of of SAs mineral resources. By dividing SA into several smaller countries you effectively defeated the Communist plan.

No this definitely happened in Germany too, Solaris has been around for a long time and a whole slew of German neobanks and trading apps have been built on top of it. You can open an account with most of them by downloading the app and doing a video identification process with your id.

Culturally though, older Germans mistrust then and want to use the older, established banks with physical branches.

I've seen Community Notes used to "correct falsehoods" about Tesla which were in fact correct. I can't look up the tweet, so take my comment with a grain of salt if you will.

But the best way to hide a lie is between two truths. If Community Notes is mostly good, then it has credibility, so when it's selectively abused, you don't question it.

And that will be really, really dangerous during the 2024 election cycle, for one.
Got it, so it is still worth trying to learn basic front-end programming. What’s the front end dev framework you recommend learning to be most flexible? Is React still the best one to learn, or is Flutter becoming just as good?

I don't understand why they can't have shorter leases with lower rent. I'm not sure why they can't do that and swallow their pride a bit. They can charge the next renter more when the short term 1-2 year lease is up. Better than making $0

> How have once downtrodden countries like Korea, China, and large swaths of Eastern Europe been able to turn rags into riches while most of Africa has so far failed to?

At least for Eastern Europe, the answer is very clear: the European Union imposing a serious baseline regarding democracy, rule of law and corruption. While Poland and especially Hungary are testing how far the patience of the EU can stretch, in general it's still holding up. On top of that, Eastern European nations/their populations wanted to join the EU desperately, wishing to never experience authoritarian realsozialismus again.

China had an immense amount of young, trainable people and a lack of environmental and worker regulations, which the West was all too keen on exploiting, and established trade routes from UK empire times. That's how they got big.

Africa, in contrast, had and widely still has nothing. No coalition/federation that pushed applicants to improve, no/barely any external interest in the countries, no major trade routes, no one who gave a flying fuck about the entire region. The US largely don't care as long as there is no bad actor threatening their interests (such as ISIS, al-Quaeda and its offshoots), Europe doesn't care about anything but getting rid of migrants no matter what, the Arabs don't care, and there aren't natural resources worth the trouble of extracting them without violating supply chain concerns. The only ones at least caring a bit about Africa as a continent are the Chinese, but they don't care about politics as long as they get a supply of workers and a potential market for cheap crap now that Europe and the US are saturated - we're seeing first signs of that by Chinese fast fashion taking over clothing from Western "second hand" (mitumba) stuff.

Downvote all you want, but the moment you ask for a new type of chip that's both cheap and useful for current ML work, you are literally asking for the impossible.
I have never come across a codebase written in this style that is any good. I think people inclined in this direction usually seem to fail to reify the domain they're working within, preferring to leave everything in terms of the mathematical primitives. This is much harder to work with than systems that have thought through the concrete interfaces useful in their concrete domain. (And sure, implementing those using "mathematical interfaces" is great.)

I've been wondering the same. I'd be fine with a 350 mile range vehicle - it would cover more than 99.9% of all of my trips. It would be cheaper since presumably it would only need less than 1/2 of the batteries required to go 745 miles and also it would make the vehicle lighter. Not a lot of people actually need a vehicle capable of going 745 miles on a charge - most gas cars only go 400 to 500 miles on a tank of gas currently.

It turns out that my original checkpoint runs _way_ faster than I expected (100 tok/s) on MacBook Air M1 with -O3 when compiling, so I am now training a bigger 44M model, which should still running interactively. Maybe the 7B Llama model is within reach... :thinking_emoji:
Didn't llama.cpp need to convert the weights file to a new format to support that? The way they're stored in the official file isn't efficient for operating on directly.
(I was a curious teenager and followed links I shouldn't have.) It had a ~1998 web feel. So you would mostly discover things by surfing around. Normal content would take ages to load or didn't load at all. (Bad distribution, because no-one had interest in it.) While the other stuff would load faster than AmpLand. (Very good distribution, because lots of demand.)

Plus: There was a eDonkey like file sharing program that worked on top of freenet. (As well as a Usenet clone and a "Instant" Messenger.) You could share files without uploading them first. Like Gnutella it had passive search. (It shows you the files and search terms of other users going through your system.) So you could see what the demand was for. Edit: The demand was not for Hollywod movies.
Is this for educational purposes only? Based on the success of llama.cpp and this one it appears that the industry is going in a direction of separate source code for every model that is released instead of general purpose frameworks like pytorch/tensorflow/onnxruntime?

> The power dynamics in tipping are the same as those of someone tossing change to a beggar.

Perhaps not a beggar who does nothing. But there are beggars around here who will provide services. There are buskers playing guitars, violins and drums, with the case open to accept cash. (Or Stripe, if they're savvy.)

There are also dudes who will run up to your vehicle at a stoplight, wash some windows and squeegee them, before you even know what's going on, and then you're supposed to offer some money for the valuable service you just received.

I've also seen dudes who will, like "keep an eye on your bike" while I'm in the restaurant. Is that a valuable service or a protection racket?

>Great product designs require no manual, and similarly, great interfaces need no documentation. Imagine having to read a manual on how to use a coffee mug.

This could not be more wrong.

Not everything is easy. If a library is addressing a complicated domain, solving by definition a complicated problem, it is fine if it requires some learning.

When did expertise and learning become bad things? If software is an engineering discipline, why would people in it ever promulgate the idea that any random cog can step in to any “engineer”s shoes?

Rich Hickey analogizes this mentality to the world of music, where it taken for granted that learning an instrument requires a lot of study:

“ We start with the cello. Should we make cellos that auto tune? Like, no matter where you put your finger, it's just going to play something good, play a good note.

“[Audience laughter]

“Like, you're good. We'll just fix that.

“ Should we have cellos with, like, red and green lights? Like, if you're playing the wrong note, you know, it's red. You slide around, and it's green. You're like, great! I'm good. I'm playing the right song. Right?

“ Or maybe we should have cellos that don't make any sound at all. Until you get it right, there's nothing.

“ [Audience laughter]”
