It's incredible how far we've come with quantization and parameter-efficient fine-tuning a la QLora. It's legitimately possible to fine-tune multi-billion parameter models on Google Colab or a consumer GPU. I can see how something like this service can be useful to simplify things for those that don't want to deal directly with hardware, but if you do have your own hardware it's amazing how much more you can do with it than before.

In terms of the origin of a lot of the slang being from marginalized communities (LGBT) or communities of color, it's really interesting to think how much this has been driven by the internet, and the increased range that people producing content on the internet have. On the other hand, this kind of appropriation of slang can be seen as a new version of something very old (see: Elvis appropriating black music), so maybe not that much has really changed. The slang being taken from sexual minorities does feel new though (someone correct me if I'm wrong)
That's funny. Sometimes people experiencing a bug @ me because I've recently contributed to the repository. I just reply "LGTM Approved" and then they get mad. I'm like, I don't care what you check into this project. It's not mine!
Stop the bleeding is an acceptable policy for these types of things. Just because other existing projects have pollution concerns isn't a good reason to approve new projects with pollution concerns. And once you cut off creating new projects you can slowly get through the rest of the backlog of existing issues which will either get fixed or die out eventually.
I was really excited to try this out in a EAP release a while ago… and I found nearly no use for it.

The auto scaffolded commit messages seemed like a cool application: they were overly wordy and missed the point of a commit message entirely by just dryly listing out the changes in each class.

The explain code feature seemed useful at first, but it wasn’t really much better than just reading the code. Had the benefit of working on some stuff I hadn’t worked on before too! Without links to the codebase, or any sort of inline tooltip, you just get a big paragraph in a sidebar thats difficult to grok and doesn’t really explain anything except what’s already self evident.

It doesn't really matter what rates were in the early 80s.

We're adjusted to the ZIRP rates from 2008-2021. Unprofitable business ventures that were kicking the can down the road rolling over cheap short term borrowing should go broke as their borrowing rates adjust higher. And sectors like commercial real estate are getting squeezed by remote work and online shopping, raising their borrowing rates should accelerate their failure.

1. In the video, they push the disc with a pen until it rolls over. They repeat it multiple times. It it were superconductive they could just position it in space without laying it on the magnets first.

2. The disc is not hovering.

3. The disc is damaged; one edge is thicker/heavier than the other. Thus causes the rolling. Notice that the heavier part always stays on the magnet. It it were superconductive they would be able use a uniform disc.

I call BS.
> Are there similar payment systems out there similar to this?

FedNow just launched. Interac has something similar (but not identical) in Canada. Faster Payments in the UK. SEPA payments in the EU. NPP in Australia. UPI in India. Much of the world has had a comparable solution to some extent for a while now. Most of this materialized over the last 10 to 15-ish years.

Really the US was the main laggard and that's over now.
I'm not sure I'd agree, depending on if the intelligent theologian needs to have decent literary taste - the Book of Mormon is an annoying slog.

But as for a new one, given the central premise of the Book of Mormon it is obvious that Jesus must also have appeared and preached to the aborigines in Australia shortly after his death to give them the chance of salvation as well. Perhaps a psychedelic novella about Jesus and the Dreamtime.

> Houston Police Officer Jeff Richard asks Food Not Bombs volunteer Shere Dore and another man if they will pass out food at a city-sanctioned location instead of the Houston Public Library’s Julia Ideson Building.

I was curious what this was about.

The article cites this page[1] on Houston Health Department's website which I thought was pretty clear and concise guidance. 61 Riesner St is listed as the city-sanctioned address.

I then wondered: How far is this city-sanctioned location from the Julia Ideson Building mentioned in the article?

Google Maps suggests it's just under a mile away; an 18-min walk or 5-min drive[2].

So the brouhaha is that this group racks up 40 citations for refusing to conduct affairs at a nearby city-sanctioned location in defiance of standing ordinance, then parades the civil disobedience on a t-shirt logo as a mocking gesture in court for the selfies because..."the work being done could also be seen as beautiful, fit for the steps of neaby City Hall"?

One step forward, two steps back...color me unimpressed.

This also works when you have e.g. a browser and a note app and copy&paste and review etc.

Though it would be nice if WM had a "symbiotic" mode where even bringing your Docs window to the foreground would retain the Terminal window (so it's kind of "always on top" but only within the context of these two applications), it'd be great for easily switching back and forth and not losing info from either window
I dunno, when I was a kid I didn't want to play sports but my parents kept signing me up for teams. Is that "disturbing"? I also didn't want to eat my vegetables or go to bed on time.

> I'm excited to read your next post about how Nazi Germany wasn't really that bad.

Not exactly a good-faith reply to a substantial post, and the quote doesn't even work to the thing you are trying to respond to. Hitler’s bad dude, and he’s usually counted as one of those victims of communism. Can you admit that a number that counts hitler and his soldiers as victims of communism might be a little overwrought?

Deaths due to the prevailing political system are deaths due to the prevailing political system. Slaves forced into a life of servitude due to the prevailing political system are just as much slaves in a Corrections Corp of America prison as in a soviet gulag or a north korean camp, it matters not a whit your personal feelings on the moral complications of the death or the slavery and whether you feel the deaths from some systems are "excusable" or not inherently tied to the system (a grace you of course don’t extend).

Again, the simple fact of the matter is that there are large-scale “excess deaths” and slavery and other morally repugnant outcomes that occur in large scale due to the nature of the capitalistic system and the way it treats problems that are not profitable to solve. If you can't accept that simple fact, then there is indeed no basis for a discussion. Can you even acknowledge that the body count of victims of capitalism is (substantially) greater than zero?

I mean Pol Pot alone... analogous to your hitler comparison, can you not even disavow capitalism in such clear-cut cases of literal murder and death camps? Or Thailand and red drum killings? Do such things not taint the entire concept of capitalism, in the same way that you feel communism has been tainted? Even if the other victims of capitalism don’t matter to you…

At the end of the day the “victims of communism” just isn’t a viable framing for the discussion. Atrocities and both high- and low-level oppression occur under capitalism too but people get very upset if you say it somehow represents a fundamental problem with the capitalistic system, but that’s the standard anything else gets held to.

In the neoliberal consensus, communism is bad because of holodomor or NK slave camps (true) but capitalism is not bad because of pol pot or red drum killings or United States slave camps (false). And that means we can’t even have European-style state enterprises or worker-owned enterprises, because that’s all communism and dirty.

Anyway honestly this is the problem with expats in general, people left for specific reasons and the ones who left are the ones who felt most strongly about an issue. Learned experience is one thing but you’re not exactly getting a balanced take on Cuba from some expat who had their family’s plantation expropriated either. Sure, your family lost your sugar farm, but living standards went up hugely for everyone else.

It's the reason I got a degree in physics, if you have good professors - discussions like this cause you to break down the problem quite quickly in your head in a working model. Think force diagrams, but with a ton more math backing it up.

I actually find the ice skate a better example than a bike. We have all the physics solved for bikes, it's a complicated system but so is everything in motion. Hence we assume a spherical cow for the sake of the problem.

But ice skates... Now that's a funky one. Why do ice skates works? Ice skates aren't sharp bladed, they actually have flats. Ice is not slippery, it's when something is on ice in between our shoes and the ice that cause it to be slippery. Some people think it's the localized pressure of the blade that causes ice to locally melt. Hard to really wrap your head around. But it works :)
Lisp is more of a meta-language than a mere language. Since it's homoiconic, you eventually end up developing a domain-specific language that works great for your subject area. It also may make it a bit harder to onboard new team members, because the level of abstraction which you can reach can be relly high, all while keeping performance reasonable.

Technically, you could run e.g. a Python program under pdb, break on certain exceptions, and fix things inside a living system. It's just not a customary way to do that.

In Russia we have SBP (system of fast transfers in Russian). It allows to quickly send money by using a telephone number or QR code. It was quite popular for the last 4 years thanks to absence of additional taxes and commissions on small to medium transactions, but since 2022, when Visa and Mastercard left, it became order of magnitude more popular. Almost every shop, small and big, uses it now, although we also have an alternative card system MIR.

>> It’s a natural process for people from areas experiencing population growth to move to other places experiencing decline

This strategy works as long as there are more places (by volume) experiencing growth than decline. Since the trend is slower growth overall, there will be a point where global growth stops, and clearly then the strategy will start to fail.

Frankly, from a planet point of view I'd hope that point comes sooner than later.

This will play out in obvious ways (lifting retirement age etc) but ultimately the quality of life will increase overall until some sort of stable population number emerges.

Things like 3DS benefit issuers and merchants due to lower fraud rates, but take more time, are higher friction and likely lead to fewer payments in total. If something like that doesn't exist or is watered down in the US it's likely because the issuers in the US decided that it wasn't worth the experiential or monetary cost. Or that they have other ways of identifying and dealing with fraudulent transactions, like ML models on the backend.

It's almost certainly a bean counter making that decision - and it's theirs to make - not due to some kind of technical inability to make 3DS work. The US is a low fraud rate market that values faster/easier transactions at point of sale over lower absolute fraud, almost certainly because it maximizes total profit.

Generally, a no-fraud environment isn't optimal.
Somewhat related- I am often disappointed and surprised at how many new houses are being marketed as "green". 4200 square feet, 3 bed 4 bath, 3 car garage- but it has solar panels, low-flow faucets, and "natural" granite counter tops.

New houses and neighborhoods are cookie-cutter to reduce costs. The land is flattened and natural vegetation removed. Three floor plans with tons of windows are repeated, regardless of orientation to the sun. Then concrete roads, lawns, ornamental plants are added.

Recycling addresses the symptoms but not the cause. Reducing addresses the cause.

There are probably national, regional, and local laws preventing this but why is property taxes not progressive? Ignoring lobbying, is there a legal reason why progressive property taxes can't be created? Is there a region that does this?

I hear the sentiment but the paper makes the argument that some of that time traveling can be replaced with knowledge available at compile time. Sort of like calling the stores to check inventory before leaving the house. The BasicBlocker idea is not wholly new (paper lays out the history) but a key improvement over earlier attempts is a design that is tolerant of variations in run-time behavior. There's also been plenty of other research about energy efficient alternatives to out of order execution. To me the interesting questions are things like: How much more perf can we squeeze out of efficiency-focused cores like what are used in GPUs? Will E cores end up being the workhorse of future generations of CPUs? Will This lead to a CPU-GPU convergence? Etc.

I don't think 1.x was trained on porn either?

I seem to remember the issue with 2.x is that they removed all the commercial art from top-notch illustrators from the training data due to the backlash, so it was just way worse at generating great-looking things, which is all the user cares about. So the community stayed on their custom-trained models derived from SD 1.5 (which, yes, often included porn).
Not a huge fan of using AI for solving programming tasks, but it would be neat if it could notify me when comments get outdated and stuff like that.
The entire world of commerce is trustful, pretending otherwise is silly. FedNow just replaces the extant ACH network, and I assume Pix does something similar. This isn't a CBDC, just infrastructure for moving money between institutions - and even within CBDCs there are privacy-preserving ways of implementing it. Reality is far more banal than some of the more extreme perspectives here.

MacOS in QEMU – ARM edition [pdf]
Two or three independent "one in a million" chances will push the Drake equation to near zero in the milky way. Such chances could be things like "chance of multicellular life developing from unicellular" (took billions of years on earth, maybe it was never likely to happen in the first place) or "chance for multicellular life to invent radios" (overwhelming majority of multicellular life on earth was never going to invent radios. Evolution isn't directed to create tool-inventing apes.)

Or it could be a few dozen 50/50 chances that need to be cleared, or some mix of the two. Drake equations only spit out "aliens likely" if you assume earth-like planets will inevitably create human-like life but that's a hell of an assumption. And then we look into the night sky and see/hear nothing from the aliens that supposedly must be up there and call it a paradox... well it's not a paradox if the Rare Earth hypothesis is true. If the empirical evidence is saying one thing and the speculative math is saying another thing, it's probably the speculative math that's wrong.
