I have no real idea what I'm talking about but figure 1 has critical magnetic flux curve ranging up to 3000 Oe so... in MRI-speak maybe it tops out before 0.3T? IIRC permanent magnet MRI have already been built in the 0.3T range, but they're very heavy and outclassed by the higher-field scanners. Clinical MRI nowadays typically runs at 1.5-3T (with some clinical scanners at 5-7T).

Having said that there is a resurgence of interest in low-field MRI lately, primarily marketed for use in developing nations and for combination machines that integrate radiation therapy. From what I've heard from diagnostic radiologists, the low-field MRI scanners seem to be of limited diagnostic value on their own.

Anyway that's just my thought that the best/first applications here may not be about generating magnetic fields.

The problematic dude's disdain for humanity aside, the quote serves as a good reminder that the "but the criminals!" argument is often used and rarely justified.
It's not a bad thing if the service provided offers you something you want and otherwise wouldn't have. I hate Meta as much as the next person and wouldn't give them an ounce of my attention, but I spent hundreds of hours in VRChat and I wouldn't trade that for anything.

I use an Index headset with Vive components, so no Meta or PII involved.
There is no way to avoid it. It is very obvious that deciding whether "vaccine syringes" are political (and therefore excluded) or not is itself a political decision.
It's below the article about "Magnetic Rose", and into the "Newsbits", but the page mentions "Kizazi Moto: Generation Fire", an Afro-futurist sci-fi animation anthology which came out recently on Disney+, and if you like animation or science fiction: go watch it, it's amazing.

(I'll admit I have an ulterior motive in telling people to watch it—given Disney+ is removing content, even recent content, I'm hoping enough people watch it so it doesn't get deleted, so that I can keep watching it.)
I mean it’s all probably true, but how would it be easier to migrate to long ipv4 than to ipv6? Looks like there’s basically the same struggle, no? I think the major part of the migration problem is the global routing - the new protocol should be implemented in hardware, in ASICs and route processors. The LAN part of the migration is likely the easiest. And if it’s true, breaking compatibility and introducing a completely different protocol was probably well justified. IPv6 solves some other problems aside of the address space exhaustion - see SLAAC, easier route summarization, simplified packet header. That would not have been resolved by simply increasing the address space for v4.
Is there any way back (forward) to this sort of tech innocence?
It’s like comparing US presidents vs the English king/queen. There’s been a heck of a lot more people reach the top in the US. When there is turnover at the top, more people can have a career at it. Otherwise it’s very stagnant at the top. Look at Charles, he had to wait until normal retirement age to advance. If people don’t shift into mentor ship roles and instead cling to the top roles until they die, then it’s pretty obvious the next generations are going to be held back in terms of achievement.

That is an intellectual exercise, it requires understanding, and I have not yet seen an LLM implementation that does it properly. If you know one...

What I have seen are outputs that can give the illusion of a properly done job, if the user were willingly (or not) blind to quality.

So: non intellectual translation, we already had tools; intellectually valid one, then we would have much higher opportunities than translation.

The correct answer, as always, is the oogabooga text generation webUI, which supports all of the relevant backends: https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui
Yes. They are actually adding a new line built to HSR standards. It's incomplete, and so incomplete that it's not useful without the subsequent phases that are not yet funded. (And the high costs you are quoting are the projected costs for the full completion of the actual viable project).

There are published plans for more parts of the project. Look up the Caltrain-HSR blended stuff for more information (I don't know the plans in LA offhand, but that's partially because a lot of my sources are still salty about which pass is being used to enter LA).

Yes, CAHSR costs at least 5x what it should to build (probably going to be more like 10x when you take into account idiotic decisions). But what it will deliver will involve HSR standards of track.

Is that $2.0b for network equipment by increasing it's depreciation period by 20%? Meanwhile increasing the deprecation period of servers by 50% only nets $1.0b?

I had the impression that servers were vastly more expensive than network equipment. I wonder what the breakdown is for network equipment.
llama is just an input/output engine. It takes a big string as input, and gives a big string of output.

Save your outputs if you want, you can copy/paste them into any editor. Or make a shell script that mirrors outputs to a file and use that as your main interface. It's up to the user.
They hired more really good people to leave fewer really good candidates to the competition. Maybe it made sense. They could not publicly declare this though.

Why would you want your browser to manage themes and window management (tiling, links outside of web) while it is the job of the OS/desktop environment?
Lots of things are built on FOSS components. How many appliances are built on nix-with-an-app? Are they just wrappers? What about Linux distros themselves, or all nix flavors and distros?

The value, in this case, is in the UI. The engine is a commodity.
Thanks so much!

> Pulumi only really cares that the programming language generates a declarative spec that can be used to compare with your infrastructure. It's the best of both worlds.

Fully agree! I've called this approach "imperatively generating declarations".

Things might get complicated, though, if you try to nest this approach. E.g. if you imperatively generate the structure of your deployment pipeline, which in turn, contains imperative code to generate your infrastructure spec. :) Or something like that[0].

But that's probably just the nature of the problem.

Writing "the whole rest of the world" shows you have lost perspective. Most of the world has never heard of this proposal. The people arguing against it don't represent them. (Nor do the people proposing it.)

Alpine is wonderful for old hardware.
The proposed function is impossible to implement in general. More precisely, it's impossible to implement without specific hardware and operating system (you have one of a handful of choices) to the de facto standard that would develop over time if web servers came to depend on the behavior of the function. It would make the web decidedly not open.
It's entirely valid to point at different items on the same trend line, even if they may be at different points along it currently. Florida and Texas may not be hosing down protestors or throwing them in jail, but this is hardly an isolated incident and it certainly does qualify as a "crackdown on free speech" in my opinion, as do the classic extreme examples it's included with.

Perhaps how uncomfortable that is should be something we consider thoughtfully rather than something we point to and immediately try to discount.
The vintage IBM keyboards are romanticized quite a lot.

I'm not willing to go without a windows key these days.

I used one of some variety or another at my job about 10 years ago working at a helpdesk. It made a good conversation piece, but eventually I got tired of the conversations and users on the phone could hear it too.. sometimes not for the best.

I went into this rabbit hole for a bit, I had bought I think four or five vintage Ms varying from the 80s to early 90s when Lexmark took over (Blue IBM logo, drain channels on the bottom), three Unicomps (two full size models, 104 keys, one USB one PS/2), one space saver model. The space saver model I bought for my mother that was teleworking; it randomly failed at some point after a couple of years and I was never able to figure out why, there wasn't a spill or anything that I could find evidence of.. I never looked into repairing it, just got rid of it.

The Unicomps were okay. You can tell that the molds and tooling they bought from Lexmark are pretty worn now, and the weight has been reduced even further no doubt in an attempt to be price competitive with the current market which isn't easy. I still have one of them and it still works, the other I lost due to damage that can't be levied against the keyboard.

At some point though I just got sick of the noise. At this point for old mechanical keyboards I'd sooner seek out a Dell AT101 than using another buckling spring board. It uses Black ALPS switches, they are tactile with a much fainter sound that I enjoy, and they're equipped with Windows keys. I have one Model M connected to a file server at a remote site that I touch maybe once or twice a year, I'm reminded at these times of why people love and why I no longer care for them.

My current keyboard is a Ducky Shine 7 with Cherry MX Blacks. Blacks and Browns (or comparable from the many other suppliers that have cropped up in recent years) are the only ones that interest me.

If you really want a model M look around on the used market and don't obsess over which model you are getting. They're all variations of one another with some cost cutting added here and there but imo they never compromised the solid feel of the keyboard or the fantastic tactile click of the keys.
It is true that there is a large software stack that needs to be "perfect" for this to work flawlessly. But look at iOS. It does appear that highly motivated corporations can keep a fairly secure stack of this size. iOS jailbreaks are few and far between. They do regularly occur, but not often enough for this to be a convenient solution.
Employee count actually increased accounting for layoffs, so that's not it for sure. Looks like they did need or at least thought they needed that many.

Yep, sometime after college I sort of settled on this method of visualizing my emotions / feelings - take what I’m feeling, hold it in front of me, and look at it as it’s own thing, outside and aside from ‘me.’ And then ask myself: 1) what is this that I’m feeling, and 2) what does it make me want to do.

‘Why’ I’m feeling is interesting, whether I should act on a feeling is obviously necessary to consider - but really just those two things, “what is this and what does it make me want to do” is usually enough to move me into a position where I have agency, sidestepping emotional outbursts and ill-considered or unhelpful behavior.

It’s incredibly empowering to find yourself coming out of a situation, thinking “when I was a teen this would have been awful, but now as an adult, it’s just something to roll my eyes at and move on.” Not everybody gets to do that so easily, I feel very lucky to have figured at least this little bit out for myself.
Maybe they hired more than they needed because of the shifting macro environment? The number of employees you need depends on what you want to accomplish which depends on interest rates, consumer spending, and tons of other macro factors.
CTEs are basically temporary views and tables.

I’d argue that the extra tables with duplicate data aren’t a space / cpu trade-off as much as they are a data management trade-off. There are cases for duplicating data in the system but I’d leave that to indexes and generated columns unless you really need to materialise it in a different structure.

There's not a reason I can think of that it shouldn't be the case with EVs. Were I to guess (and that's all it is), EV market is smaller than ICE, EVs are pricey to start with, ergo used EVs might be an even better deal than a used ICE.

Regardless, having owned two EVs over that last 12 years, I'd have no problem buying a used one. Not much to go wrong, and they're otherwise like any other car.

With a small reminder that the pythonic way to do filter and map is even more readable - but it's limited in scope:

with that said, I still love the general concept of chaining, and I use that style a lot where it is already convenient and popular - in pandas code.
> I think your "learn to force yourself to work" suggestion is seriously misguided.

I think it's misguided to think that there aren't many people force themselves to work in that and worse conditions. Why? They need the money.

It's seriously misguided, to think you can have any successful career without being able to force yourself to work. Quitting work everytime there is a hicup will not generally lead to a successful career. Not being able to work at all because the sun is out, your kid is long term sick, your wife had an affair, etc will generally not lead to having a successful career. There are many scenarios on a daily basis where people force themselves to work.

> if he had been hit by a car you wouldn't be suggesting he force himself to do anything

If cleared for work and needed to keep their job, yes I would. Many people do in fact force themselves to work after truamatic events such as being hit by a car or being in a car accident.

And remember, I didn't say in this scenario he should have forced himself to work. In fact, I said I had no problems with him not. But I said it is a skill that is needed for many in life.
I thought this was interesting, so I compared it against their count last quarter (instead of last year) and they are indeed down.

- In Q4 2022 [1] they had 190,234 employees.
- In Q1 2023 [2] they had 190,711 employees.
- This quarter Q2, they have 181,798 employees.

So they are down almost 9000 employees from last quarter, close to their 12K layoff number.

The main issue is that Threads is attempting to replicate Twitter, and other services are also striving to be "better Twitter," making it challenging to encourage a significant migration of users.

Tell HN: Finally, a good use for the 9th bit
One of the machines I worked with in the 1980's was a curious design called the Univac 1100. It ran a typical mainframe OS and was used to the various calculations and record keeping that a large bank requires. It has 36 bit 'words' and 9 bit 'bytes'. The machine supported various character sets and one of those was ASCII. But ASCII is an 8 bit convention, and even there only 7 bits are really used. But that 9th bit... it was always zero. Now, in 2023 I finally have a good use for the 9th bit: to mark which characters are AI produced and which ones are human. Then you could colorize a text based on the value of that bit and instantly know which part of a piece of writing originated with a person and which was spit out by an LLM.

Of course this isn't going to happen, but it would be really nice if we found a way to get to the equivalent of that, some way to 'taint' the output of AI, to create the equivalent of a radioactive marker so that readers of text have a fighting chance of weighing it properly.
