> Because of its importance in the war, the Trinity test was conducted in secret. Little was known about the dangers of radiation exposure in the 1940s, so local residents were not warned or evacuated in advance of—or even following—the test. As a result, people in surrounding areas were exposed to radiation by breathing contaminated air, eating contaminated foods, and drinking affected water and milk. Some ranches were located within 15 miles of ground zero, and commercial crops were grown nearby.

The stories about these are not romanticised. They’re conveying our ignorance. There is nothing romantic about people dying from radiation.
I believe one would be the tutorial, the other would be called a how-to.
“I “jailbroke” a Google Nest Mini so that you can run your own LLM’s
People love to talk about how google feeds them SEO blogspam, but when I moved to DDG I got nearly nothing but garbage sites with a ton of padding. Every search engine I have tried besides google is actual dogass tier garbage that takes me easily 5x as long to find some kind of useful info.

I do, however, have Adblock and personal blocklist to filter out garbage sites, and I maintain a record of 300+ sites that are worthless as far as search results are concerned.
Have you considered contracting work?
S3 is a truly amazing piece of technology. It offers peace of mind (well, almost), zero operations, and practically unlimited bandwidth for at least analytics workload. Indeed, it's so good that there has not been much progress in building an open-source alternative to S3. There seems not much activity in the Hadoop community. I have yet heard any company who uses RADOS on Ceph to handle PBs of data for analytics workload. MinIO made its name recently, but its license is restrictive and its community is quite small compared to that of Hadoop of its hay days.
This is not necessarily the case.

Firstly, functions that are in the same compilation unit that refer to each other can use a faster mechanism, not going through a symbol. The same applies to lexical functions. Lisp compilers support inlining, and the spec allows automatic inlining between functions in the same compilation unit, and it allows calls to be less dynamic and m more optimized. If f and g are in the same file, where g calls f, then implementations are not required to allow f and go to be separately redefinable. So that is to say, if f is redefined only, the existing g may keep calling the old f. The intent is that redefinition has the granularity of compiled files: if a new version of the entire compiled file is loaded, then f and g get redefined together and all is cool.

Lisp symbol lookup takes place at read time. If we are calling some function foo and have to go through the symbol (it's in another compilation unit), there is no hashing of the string "foo" going on at call time. The calling code hangs on to the foo symbol, which is an object. The hashing is done when the caller is loaded. The caller's compiled file contains literal objects, some of which are symbols. A compiled file on disk records externalized images of symbols which have the textual names; when those are internalized again, they become objects.

The "classic" Lisp approach for implementing a global function binding of a symbol is be to have dedicated "function cell" field in the symbol itself. So, the compiled module from which the call is emanating is hanging on to the foo symbol as static data, and that symbol has a field in it (at a fixed offset) from which it can pull the current function object in order to call it (or use it indirectly).

Cross-module Lisp calls have overhead due to the dynamism; that's a fact of life. You don't get safety for nothing.

(Yes, yes, you can name ten "Lisp" implementations which do a hashed lookup on a string every time a function is called, I know.)
Try searching for specific things, not "travel tips." If you like shopping, hiking, go-karts, beaches, food, whatever, use specific search terms. And use specific destinations. Try "night markets taipei" rather than "food tips taiwan."

Personally, living as a full-time nomad, I like to just go to new places without doing any research beyond visa requirements. Sometimes I have friends where I go, sometimes not. I enjoy figuring things out. Want to know a good local place to eat? Find the places with lines outside at lunchtime. Want to find a park or shopping mall? Use a map. Most places tourists go to have tourist offices that have free maps and guidebooks and so on, usually full of ads, but still useful to get some ideas. Nothing beats a local friend, though.
Yes, without inlining pass, there would be code in another function that wouldn't be visible, but after inlining the code structure changes, and a later optimizer pass sees e.g. a pointer check (which was inlined from another function), so now it can assume the pointer is never null and do its thing.
We get this on a much lower scale. We have to maintain many forks because no one is responsive on taking patches.
Linux in a VM doesn’t behave like Linux on bare hardware, and graphics acceleration in particular is a house of cards. You can’t draw any real conclusions from this.
I believe Andrew Leland also did a Radiolab episode recently (which I of course only know about because it was playing on NPR).
As far as I understand it, it was initially an experiment to determine some figures around when things go critical. Then it turned into a demonstration. Then it turned into a party trick.
> "I really thought after Google, I should be employable"

Well, I can see the employer side as well

"After Google" you'll complain about the lack of chef on site, about how the automation tools are not quite like how it was in Google, how "oh in G we used to do that differently" etc
Illiberal Democracy
The reason why everyone sleeps on the Cheesecake Factory is very simple. The problem CCF solves is simply never encountered by the upper middle class because entry into this stratum is socially coded by having an adventurous palate where outwardly acting like a picky eater is a mark of shame.

Thus, CCF is viewed as a class shibboleth because the problem CCF solves extremely well is getting together a group of people with lots of picky eaters who are all different kinds of picky eaters but who all still want good food and you have to pick a place you can all go. You're simply never expected to run into this problem if you run in upper middle class circles but it's a nightmare scenario for everyone else in cities without a CCF and having a CCF in your city solves it in a way that is a meaningful upgrade in your quality of life.

As a result, people vastly underestimate the difficulty of this problem and how poor CCF's competitors are compared to it and how much brand loyalty people who don't have this social coding have towards this company for perfectly logical reasons.

CCF's great accomplishment is not just realizing this but then designing their entire restaurant from the ground up to totally holistically solve this very hard problem and their near monopoly level profits are a reward for their hard work.
Most apps, however, assume POSIX-like data access. I would love to see a client-side minimally dependent library that mounts a local directory that is actually the user's S3 bucket.
Noob question: when folks talk about fine-tuning LLM, do they usually fine-tune the encoder (of the prompt), the decoder (that generates the text) or both ?
> This is what it has come to. There are thousands of resumes being sent at my company, yet the recruiter can't find anyone. Why? Because no one is applying through her link.

It sounds like your recruiter is purposely ignoring any resume that is not explicitly sent to her personally. It sounds like a job security move at the expense of both the company and candidate's best interests.
A container, being basically a chroot, consumes a rather small amount of resources, mostly as space in namespace and ipfilter tables.

If your containers use many of the same base layers (e.g. the same Node or Python image), the code pages will be shared, as they would be shared with plain OS processes.

Running several processes in a container is the norm. First, you run with --init anyway, so there is a `tini` parent process inside. Then, Node workers and Java threads are pretty common.

Running several pieces of unrelated software in a container is less common, that's true.

Containers are a way to isolate processes better, and to package dependencies. You could otherwise be doing that with tools like selinux and dpkg, and by setting LD_nnn env variables. Containers just make it much easier.

I recall being at that position. I firmly believe those 90% of applications are actually fake job ads to trawl for personal data. The most suspicious cases come from recruiters who post the most generic job ad over and over and over again.

I went once, with my first "serious" girlfriend, 15+ years ago. It was one of several trendy chain restaurants she insisted we visit as inexperienced high schoolers. This restaurant and the Elephant bar will forever remind me of her: aggressively middle class with aspirations of upper class experience without really knowing what that is. And on one hand, I do understand it. On the other, it felt tacky and desperate at the time, and I can't really ever shake that association for either place.
Yeah, he gave us fking paypal..

Also, we surely needed some more ass-licker for Russia, as if we don’t have enough already, or some high position person shittalking about covid. Definitely a good gal..
This is a cute but IMHO misinformed take. This is not left wing and you cannot do just privacy. Also, private sectors havr to follow the rules of the state they are operating in - the state can make uo whatever rules. So the state is the main problem.
A lot of American "Libertarian" techbros are extremely pro-Russia and pro-Putin. It's not surprising that they have given Elbakyan this award.

Privacy and espionage is not the only reason we Europeans should detach from Silicon Valley as fast as possible. Using services owned by libertarian VC people like David Sachs is akin to willingly handing data out to Putin.
>And when every other aspect of your life is being increasingly optimized by and for others, it is a small revolutionary act to be inconvenient.

That hit me. People often ask me why I do things so "inconvenient". Why do I not order everything online? Why do I not regularly order Pizza, but literally go into the restaurant (alone)? In short: Why do I sometimes (not always) take the long, hard route? Why do I scroll through the Gigabytes of Music on my HDD, to search for little gems, then to just let spotify recommend me the next best thing?

I think the answer, for me, is to just live in that moment and enjoy it. People often complain that they don't have enough time, but there is plenty of time, you just have to use it. Yes it can be inconvenient, but it feels liberating for me, even if it's on a very very small scale. Be more inconvenient.
> Modern DXGI flip presentation model doesn’t add input lag anymore

There's also this weirdness that DXGI always adds 3 frames of latency, because that's the default value unless explicitly changed by the application (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/dxgi/nf-...) - don't be confused by the "maximum" in the name, it's just consistently adding 3 frames of latency (at least on my Win10 machine).

Don't know if this has changed in more recent DXGI versions, but if you want to be backward compatible as much as possible, those are not an option.

The DXGI APIs are such a completely random collection of functionality that I really wonder if there's any forward thinking at all. If anything, at least the defaults are all wrong.
So the second trick looks like how the background layers work on systems like NES/Master System/SNES/Genesis. Just update tiles outside of the visible range and just have the view window constantly looping around. Or am I missing something?

I mean to do that on EGA is very neat (well duh!) considering those consoles all have dedicated VPU's for this task. Just wanted to make sure I am understanding it correctly.
I believe the article makes a fundamental mistake with its inferred description of democracy. In a healthy democratic system there is not just one single central authority to which all democracy has to be driven. A healthy democracy has many layers and overlapping institutions, most/all of which are democratic in nature.

Thus, decisions to make things "more democratic" don't necessarily lead to giving more and more authority to "the government".
One would only need to read your password via some unsecured hole, once.

This falls under "supernormal stimulus"[0], which is where artificial stimuli is favored over the naturally occurring stimuli. A fake signal can hijack/overload the existing sexual selection criteria by being "even sexier" than naturally possible.

This is particularly relevant in the age of instagram filters, steroids, plastic surgery, makeup, etc.

Open-Source is a generic term. It's the opposite of "closed-source".

The OSI is on the record on this: https://opensource.org/pressreleases/certified-open-source.p...

The only people who want to push the whole "The OSI's version of Free Software" defines "open-source" rather than "OSI Approved License™" are the Anti-Property GPL folks that never liked the term "open source" anyway, the trolls that want to force other people to work for free, and the people at the OSI

I don't really think it's that obsolete, it's not like it's a lot of cou time or disk wear. The auto save is really good these days in some apps, so I see the point of stopping, but it's also not that great in others.

A bigger issue is accidentally doing it in a web browser. Since when is saving a web page so frequent it needs a shortcut? Savings pages barely works at all on some sites!
Nothing per se. It's just that fat has 9 calories per gram, so 1250 calories from fat is 138 grams of fat. It's also mostly saturated fat, which is pretty bad for the heart, not to mention that it's nearly half the total daily caloric requirement for an average man.

Recirculating ball steering also probably won't allow for new fangled features like active lane-keep assist, collision avoidance steering, self-parking, etc. (Which is probably not missed anyways by the 4x4 crowd, including the Ineos Grenadier ideology.) Mercedes switched their G-Class away from recirculating ball steering just a few years ago and I bet, based on MSRP, that their primary use now is much less 4x4 and much more embracing of complex computerized features for urban crawling and highway touring.

I got a model S with maximum range. It promised 370 miles of range on a single charge, and I don't know what stretch of road exists that that isn't a lie for.

I never got 300 miles of range on it.

Now, to their credit... Did I need that much range? No. But it would be nice to not be lied to.
Re SpaceX: it had massive government funds going for it. So surely, no one else could do it, because they don’t have the funds to lobby for taxpayer money that hard.

I still think we should have just given it to NASA, a private entity has no business in space.
Requiring this for UserDefaults is pretty wild as it will be so far reaching.

UserDefaults is also app-scoped so I'm not sure I understand the reason for this as a privacy concern.
Comparison by competitor but it’s believable IMO. Basically about the same performance as whisper:

- https://deepgram.com/learn/nova-speech-to-text-whisper-api

Not surprising though as at this level all these options are starting to be leveled by inconsistencies in manual groundtruth. Conformer alone also isn’t the most powerful architecture out there for speech. This is also slower than, say running a large k2 zipformer via onnx on cpu.

Also if you have a small shop at this point you can do all of this yourself with whisper large v2 on a single 16gb gpu via some tweaking of https://github.com/guillaumekln/faster-whisper and an OSS LLM.

Interesting stuff but I think margins in this space are getting ready to simply vanish.
I definitely hide everything about my private life when speaking with recruiters or potential employers. On the first day that you walk in the door of your new employer, dump all your personal problems (that you choose) on your new boss. It is the only chance you have to do it. All other times are "inconvenient" or an excuse to say no-to-hire or give you a lousy rating or layoff. Women have been facing this ... forever in the office. The smartest ones learn to play these games.

Also (a little tongue in cheek) uninstall MS Teams. It doesn’t work well when there’s enough free memory and brings the system to a crawl if some other applications are using more RAM. Once you do that, get rid of Outlook.
I mean, a purposefully limited partial analysis can support this argument applied to Captain America actor Chris Evans as well. He has a good degree of natural sexiness, but also a large amount of his sex-appeal is from steroid use. So it's not heritable.

However, a more detailed analysis might be used to argue that in a world where steroids are highly available, Chris Evan's genetics facilitate/complement the use of that available resource better than other genetics.

But the steroid use could also be considered a "Supernormal stimulus"[0], which hijacks/cheats sexual selection criteria with specially tailored artificial stimuli. Relevant would be instagram filters, steroids, plastic surgery, makeup, etc.

> Running several processes in a container is the norm.

I'm highly aware. The reason the word "process" is quoted in my highly down-voteable comment is the misuse of the term "process" by Docker et al. to mean "application." Google the "one process per container" mantra to see what I mean. Somehow the Docker crowd were oblivious to the 60+ year old concept of and terminology related to OS processes when they promulgated their guidance on how containers should be used.

I try not to indulge too many hang-ups in life, but that particular bit of damage is insufferable.
