>> ... semantic HTML is more important now than ever

Except... semantic HTML has never been important. Forget about implementation and adoption, even the abstraction falls apart after about 30 seconds of critique. It's a weird mix of structure-like tags that seem to solely serve the newspaper industry from 25 years ago, half-baked UI elements and a handful of directives. The non-semantic elements have to make up more than 99.9% of the internet today. It seems the author missed the of XML and transforms if this is what they wanted.
I may be missing something, but looking at the examples in the website, isn't this just a fancy worded search?

I can believe that.

I went to a vegan restaurant once and met some randoms in London, I think it was a meetup.com thing. And one lady was telling me how she would happily take a lead pipe and hurt people working in animal testing.

I was shocked that someone would would share their violent ideals with a total stranger. I mean I could have been an undercover policeman or something...

And just to be clear, I definitely don't think hurting humans is a good idea.

Both systems have their respective problems. For private universities, it is the influence that money will buy. For universities that are basically an outgrowth of the public administration apparatus, it is lack of accountability, lack of meritocracy-inducing regulative forces (cultural and otherwise), politics, perverse incentives, etc. etc.

When patients enter their insurance, we have an API we use to retrieve their deductible remaining info, and then we use that to calculate their out of pocket cost that we show.
And yes, we guarantee the patient responsibility!

Definitely a challenge timing wise if a patient does other services with other doctors off platform between when we quote them and they see the doctor though.

Would love to trade notes on the pricing data!

Python Isolation System (enables live scripting)
This is a variation of an identity-centric security context for POSIX-based web platforms, which specifies containerization strategy of Python-targeted code.

Idea: run executable processes with impersonated user privilege, encapsulated as a function call:

from encapsulate import exeCallObject, keyword

def run():
try: return exeCallObject \
('assets/Itham/services/component/query',
keyword('keyword', 'value'),
'arg1', 'arg2', 'arg3',
compartmentalize = True)

except exeCallObject.error as e:
return namespace(code = e.returncode,
error = e.stderrOutput,
output = e.stdOutput)

Or:

encapsule.isolate --post-context assets/Itham/services/component/query \
--keyword=value arg1 arg2 arg3 \
| wget 'https://network/channel/x' --method=post --post-file=-

You're dealing with the same manufacturers that won't even bother to include the USB C termination resistors required to make "USB C" charging ports on their devices work with actual USB-compliant PD. You're talking about the kind of part that's so cheap that adding five of them is going to round down below a penny in your BOM. The kind of manufacturer that, if it had a motto, that motto would be "no corner too cheap to cut".
I work in the cloud consulting department at BigTech. We have a very straightforward open source approval process where we can open source any code (MIT-0) that we write for a client as long as we scrub the business processes and anything proprietary to the customer.

It does take some work (not two months) to sanitize the project, write documentation, put the boilerplate open source documentation and go through the approval process.

I’ve released 8 projects to GitHub using this process over 3 years and collectively may have gotten 15 stars in total. But the way I see it, it’s a great portfolio and the only chance in my career that I could actually show production code from work I’ve done professionally along with my resume.

Also, how many times have we changed jobs and had to solve the same problem from scratch because we couldn’t legally or ethically use code from a previous company? This solves that problem too.

Your work represents you. Even if no one stars it, you now have a portfolio of work you can be proud of that you can point to when you’re interviewing instead of yet another to do app.
I have a vultr account I just logged into and checked, I could rent enough GPU memory to run llama 2 for ~180$ a month from my very quick look - so if I make more than 27000 requests with a 4k token payload I will break even - otherwise I could be using openAIs API and be making out better.

EDIT** im sorry that was gpt3.5 - with gpt4 it would be 1000 requests before I broke even at 180$

Yes. I played it and I liked it. It reminded me very much of Aces High "classic" or its successor, Aces High 2.
Agree. If projects regularly achieved 90% of what they set out to achieve, that would be fantastic. My experience is that 40% is more typical, for the ones that aren't canceled before they deliver anything.
Oh, the sensitivity of the Windows defender.

I'll keep repeating this. I've been doing "installing operating systems and intro to IT courses" for well over a decade now, for many different types of users at many skill levels.

Out of the box Linux (e.g. Mint) is an across the board better operating system for anyone who doesn't need anything specifically tied to Windows. It's easier, it just works.

I admit that it's not all "Linux people are awesome" as much as I would like -- it's "most everything most people need is available on the Web," which Linux is very good at.

The Linux experience is roughly equal to the Mac experience, and Windows is third. Inertia is presently Windows Desktop only advantage.
The "Problem #2" that they mention also has an easy solution.

If the "intermediate" variable / internal representation is just "the input image but with edges only," then of course you can see internal representations.

When you compute that intermediate variable for the line drawing, it will just happen to behave like the identity function for that particular case. So if you have already filtered out non-edges then the transformation is basically a no-op.

The "types" mismatching
as they mention is not a concern because the type is just "image" i.e. a big vector of HSL values or something. Edge detection is just a convolution filter so it's going to have approximately the same type as the input.
Joe Biden is a serial plagiarist…

https://www.businessinsider.com/plagiarism-scandal-joe-biden...

He also lied about driving an 18-wheeler…

https://www.newsweek.com/joe-biden-claim-drove-18-wheeler-tr...

Biden has been in politics for over 50 years (he’s old enough to have issued political statements against school desegregation because he didn’t want his kids to grow up in what he called a “racial jungle”), so I can find his well documented lies all day long.

Trump is definitely a liar, but it’s hard to argue that he’s worse than Biden or other politicians on this topic.
I spent most of my youth through the 80s and 90s thinking technology was a bit shit. Computers worked until they ground to a halt with lots of whirring and crunching; we had enormous flat TVs that had terrible pictures; you could store an album of music just about if you jumped through annoying hoops to write it to a disc; MP3 appeared and disappointed because flash memory was limited to 16MB at a sensible price... Then slowly but surely the future happened, until it was suddenly apparent that technology was now outstripping our imagination in many areas. The problem we have now is that society is way behind where it needs to be to make proper use of the tech we have, whilst other areas are woefully underserved by tech at all. We simultaneously have an abundance of tech and not enough engineers to roll it out (whilst struggling with the societal implications of some aspects). Exciting times indeed.

> Admission are purely on anonymous competitive exams, and no amount of money will get you there if you suck at them.

Ah, the typical French delusion that entrance exams make Grandes Ecoles admission somewhat fair.

The fact is that most of the students who succeed at these entrance exams and land position in the most successful of Grandes Ecoles come from the same highschools. These highschools all happen to be in Paris or Lyon and due to how the French system works, your family has to live in one of these very affluent and costly neighborhood for you to attend. Amusingly, practices which are mercilessly squashed by the administration in most highschools throughout the country like skill-based sorting of students or going at a faster pace that the official curriculum are tolerated in these few highschools. I let guessing where our elected politicians put their children as an exercise for the reader.

As usual in France, there is one rule for the plebeian and another one for the ruling class.

Being from the US, I’d say a gourd is any “hollow” squash, especially one you don’t normally eat in its normal form. So a pumpkin is both a gourd and a squash. Butternut squash is probably a gourd but definitely not a pumpkin. Zucchini is neither a gourd nor a pumpkin, but is decidedly a squash.
The example I mentioned was momentum. That's not visual information, that's extrapolated information of position over time. It can be represented in line drawings as motion lines in comics, for example. Interestingly, by simply implying motion, I hypothesize that the brain deprioritizes processing detail on the object that is implied to be moving, and focuses instead on the interactions that will follow.

If I were a researcher, my contrived test of this would be to simply have people recreate drawings of "static" objects, and have others recreate drawings of objects implied to be in motion.

Other non-visual information would be emotions. The shape of eyes and mouth lines are highly critical to passing emotion. I suspect that people's interpretation of emotion directly impacts how strong the emotional representation of those parts of the face would be drawn. For example if a test subject is told to draw the face of a model in front of them, but they are told the person is experiencing an emotion, I hypothesize that the group of people who are told the person is happy would more frequently bias their interpretation of the eyes, eyebrows, and corners of the mouth towards a "happy" representation than those who are told the person is experiencing great inner turmoil.

To be clear though, I'm not saying we only draw based on non-visual information. I'm saying the sum total of all vectors has an influence on the drawing. Colors, in my opinion, have as much of an impact as edges. And it would be interesting to compare the drawings of a person with less common color sensitivities to more common color sensitivities.
My manager called me for short chats on world events (semi-relevant to our larger work, not for current-assignment). Now I realize that was 20% to get my take on whatever (say, 2008 auto companies bailout) and 80% just to look me in the eyes and hear me talk and feel that I'm really here and committed and not silent quitting.
I see comments here about running Llama on 4090's, which is fine for local development and testing - but getting into production is a significant leap and a significant cost.

The thing that I keep running into in my SLA plans is concurrency. Yes, you can have a Llama 2 model running on an A100 somewhere - but that will support 1 concurrent prompt. Anything at a higher concurrency needs another GPU, or your end users will be waiting a while. Want to rent an 8 GPU machine in the cloud for inference? Be prepared to pay a lot of money for it.
No, sorry the cover letter should not be required. I will make it optional in here, thanks for calling that out! Feel free to apply by submitting your resume in the cover letter in the meantime.

Reminds me of the German poem "Storch und Schleiche" [1] (LLM translation):

A stork once strolled by the pond's edge,
where he spotted a blind slow-worm, a hedge.
The stork exclaimed, "Oh, this is quite grand!"
and devoured it, all, without a reprimand.

The slow-worm lay in the stork's belly,
and both found this situation rather smelly.
The blind slow-worm then spoke with dismay,
"Such horror!" and slipped through the back door away.

The stork, vexed by this unhappy twist,
couldn't believe he'd let the slow-worm persist.
So, without hesitation or delay,
he ate the slow-worm again the same way.

He cleverly wedged the back door tight,
so the blind slow-worm could not escape his sight.
The stork called in, with a cunning tone:
"Well, if you can, try escaping on your own!"

The sly slow-worm found the front door clear,
and promptly made his escape with no fear.
But the stork, filled with anger and spite,
ate the slow-worm once more, sealing his plight.

In a crafty invention, the stork's mind did revel,
he connected both doors to secure his prey well.
Then, addressing the slow-worm inside without fail,
"Now get ready for a round trip, without fail!"

Are there any studies on what, if any, animals respond to line drawings (and to what extent)? In particular, do chimpanzees and other apes closely related to humans?

It seems somewhat plausible that “lines-as-edges” was a foot in the door for something that specifically evolved in humans as our ancestors began using paintings and drawings for communication. Maybe it was initially just hijacking edge detection so that some images could be conveyed through drawings, and over time, and that developed into a kind of “grammar” for artificially depicting more nuanced images in media where realism was impossible.

This would be similar to how recognizing and interpreting different kinds of basic vocalizations (as many animals can) developed into a much more sophisticated mechanism for developing complex language.

I avoid apps that require logins too, unless there's some obvious reason why they need them. I shitcan most new apps I download now because:

2. They require permissions like location or contacts that they clearly don't need.

3. They start sending me upsell notifications once an hour, forever when even once a year is too much. I know I can turn off notifications but it's a PITA to do it manually every time I install a new app.

Thank you, this article had me thinking I'd gone insane. The idea that elite universities anywhere are a meritocracy is a pretty silly idea on its face.
