I was assuming that writing “us” would be clear about my association.

From where I’m standing there is a massive difference between “source available” and BSL with Apache 2. The latter does not require goodwill from us in the future.
Wait, you mean Friedrich Siegfried Zweibel isn't the real founder?

As a (hopefully) intelligent, responsible adult, I am at a loss as to what to do that will have any effect. I’ve installed solar, and a heat pump water heater, I don’t have AC despite the sweltering temperatures. I eat primarily plants. I vote for the party that lies to me most persuasively that they will do something about the environment, though I know neither party will do anything of substance.

And yet I turn around and feel that all my efforts are undermined by neighbours who take their giant trucks and 5th wheels or travel trailers on long summer drives at 4 miles per gallon for fun.

Until we have COVID-style restrictions on our lives, we as a society will never voluntarily give up all the bullshit that is feeding climate change.
In short term it's social media, because people will share whatever they generate on social media. But I don't think it's a very strong incentive to invest in AI for Meta.
Just what I've always wanted!
Cloudflare banned 8chan without a legal requirement to do so. They banned it based on moral reasons.
You have a SaaS that promises:

> Capture every crypto opportunity with a bot.

> Helping you towards a profitable crypto journey with the power of AI.

Which are not signs of a "traditional SaaS business model", yes, it is a service but you are leaving out the context of your service: cryptocurrencies. Which is enough to probably trigger some alarms inside Stripe, I've worked in fintech before and it's much better for the company to be risk-averse and blocking first, asking later than the opposite.

Given this context you should get in touch with Stripe and somehow explain how your business model isn't a risk to Stripe, unfortunately you are working in a domain with a lot of scams, and other fraudulent activities. You might not be doing it but Stripe has no way to know that, and won't be investing man-hours of cost trying to investigate your whole company to see if you aren't being sneaky and defrauding people with a seemingly legitimate business.

Edit: In fintech I worked on fraud detection, analysis, reporting and tooling for fraud agents to run their investigations, another red flag that a fraud agent would encounter when investigating your company is that the company is registered in Estonia, my best guess would be through the e-Residency scheme that allows for online business registering.

Neither of the co-founders (you included) seems to be from Estonia, or residents in Estonia. If I were a fraud agent looking at this case I'd flag it for further review based on all of these factors: company working in an industry primed with scams and frauds, using the e-Residency scheme from Estonia, while neither founders appears to be citizens or residents of Estonia. At the company I worked for (pretty big fintech in the EU) this would be put under a "manual review" and immediately block further transactions until the fraud review was done.
Yes, I understand that synthetics are hydrophobic and thus don't absorb water. I guess our personal preferences are biasing us - I live in a country that is hot, and so I prefer cotton as it absorbs sweat and cools down my body faster, where as synthetics just makes me feel like I am bathing in sweat and makes me feel hotter because it traps heat better (which is why it makes me really uncomfortable when exercising).
Do you work in science? Because since I have, I agree with some of the "conspiracy theories". I didn't before but as someone who'd always been fascinated with knowledge, research and human progress from a young age, I was thoroughly disappointed when I discovered the reality of it isn't as I had imagined in my almost religious belief in science. The reality was I found people who worked in it like a regular job. They were not driven by by a desire to further truth and expand human knowledge, but rather just like most other people they care about their salaries, funding, promotions, intrigues/political games, etc.

The mistake is thinking there must be a conspiracy to make it true. In reality it's just human nature and group behavior. One might think some of the most critical thinkers work in science, and it can be true in some cases, but more often than not those are actually the ones that get filtered out. Ironically, you must not question too much if you're a researcher who wants to receive funding. The safest thing to do is research one of the latest hypes and have findings similar to what other groups find. Don't go against the current, that gets you in trouble.
> It's not about speculating whether a given company would one day be big

Indeed, I think a lot of people miss the fact that the point of most small businesses is not in fact to become a billion (or even multi-million) dollar company. gasp

Any company targeting small businesses needs to shed this delusion that small businesses across the board want to become huge or even larger. In fact I know of a few that already think they are too big and would downsize at the first opportunity.
You got me. The second paragraph came entirely from ChatGPT :P
> it’s what you’re experiencing right now.

No, its not.

Its the quality of “experiencing”.

Which is impossible to define in objective terms; it is the essence of subjectivity on which all other subjectivity rests. It’s not merely “we don’t know how to determine whether an AI or camera has it”, it is categorically impossible to determine if something has it. The popular narrative about which things in the natural world have it has evolved radically over time, but in no case has there been, or could there be, any empirical basis for this; its all just vibes.
Sure! This is something we're still figuring out as we're quire early. Would say that the APIs don't guarantee a lot, so it's up to us to piece together the story for a patient and figure out these edge cases.
> I’m unsurprised you’re not seeing it in tv news in Brazil - your country denies the existence of climate change, and wants to chop down the Amazon for a quick buck. It would hardly fit with the popular narrative.

This is a very uninformed take that generalizes a country of 200M+ people. Believe it or not, but people in Brazil are just as worried about climate change as you
I totally agree with you. Nobody gives a fuck. I sweated 6 months on my CS Masters thesis. After the day of the presentation, I walked up to my Professor's office. As per the rules, you are supposed to hand a printed copy of your thesis to your thesis advisor. So I handed over the printed thesis proudly. Then we chatted, I said my goodbyes & left. In those days we had no github internet etc. All the C++ code for my thesis was on a 5 1/4 floppy. When I reached home I found the floppy. I was like, God I've forgotten to give him my code! So I picked up the floppy and trudged back to the university. Then I walk up to my advisor's office again & knock on the door. He is ofcourse surprised to see me. I say - Sorry I forgot to give you my code. Here is the floppy. I'll put it next to my thesis. Where is my thesis ?

He doesn't say anything. I look around to see if my thesis is on his bookshelf, but no, it isn't there. Then I turn around & I find my thesis. It is in his trashcan. I was so stunned & shocked. My advisor says sheepishly - look its just a Master's thesis. Its not like you have discovered a new theorem or something. These results are well known in the literature.

I just put my floppy in that trashcan and walked out. Its been more than 2 decades now but I still remember that incident like it was yesterday. Literally, nobody gives a fuck.
And having it verified by a couple of Chinese labs.

Overall, that's not a common thing for the US government to do. It must be hiding something very important. /s
We still do not use chip-and-pin on credit cards in the US. We use chip-and-signature for most credit cards.
I'm not saying there aren't credit cards with chip-and-PIN, there are a some.

We do use chip-and-PIN on most debit cards, but even that can be bypassed on 99% of terminals to fall back to chip-and-signature.
The overhead isn't always 8 bytes. When the type uses the naive representation, the overhead will generally match the alignment. For example an Option<u8> occupies 2 bytes, 1 of which is for the tag.

And if the type has some illegal values, these can sometimes be used to discriminate the type. When that's possible, the union will have the same size as the largest underlying type with no overhead for a tag. For example Option<&T> matches the size of &T, since it uses the illegal null value to represent None.
For those who don't have 65 minutes, if you write software you are probably familiar with the concepts of evals, caching, guardrails, defensive UX, and collecting user feedback, none of which are really unique to LLMs. The other two items are "fine-tuning" which just means nudging the LLM to be better at responding a certain way, and "RAG" which is a new acronym that just means using the input to look things up in a database first and concatenate them into the prompt so the LLM uses it as part of the context for token generation.
I find it odd Chatgpt was mentioned at all. It was almost like an advertisement.

I have read post linked here similar to this one, but I can’t recall another instance in which the author abruptly said they relied on stackoverflow to code something unless the content was a meta commentary on coding and debugging itself.
They can't litigate a person doing this at home, and never redistributing.

I suppose they might try, anyway.
> if a question can be answered with a braindump, either from facts or from (highly agreeable) experience, and doesn't look like homework, it's probably a good fit of the site's model.

Hmm. It's probably my fault and not yours, but this clarified little for me. At least, it doesn't make me feel confident that if I have a question, I'd be able to tell if it's one that would get a reasonable response on SO.

Perhaps So would be better served if they separated out the "Q&A" from whatever entries they feel are worth being preserved, rather than combining the two.

Doing that might make interacting with SO less unpleasant or more helpful, and then the particular ones that fit SO's model can be copied to a separate reference section.

What I do know is that SO as it is puts an awful lot of people off, including experienced devs who might otherwise be willing to help answer questions.
It's kind of crappy for you and others at Sentry to attempt to unilaterally change the definition of open source, despite the fact that there clearly is opposition to it.
Not everyone and it's not necessarily connected to the PC. Some card readers are, some aren't.

And there are two things that are not to be confused: electronic ID card readers (used for stuff like VAT tax filings, income tax filings, etc.) and debit/credit card readers (which may or may not be connected to the PC) used as 2FA (with a challenge/response). The ones that aren't connected to the PC generate a number which you then enter to confirm you login/order.

Many banks in the EU enforce at least one type of 2FA. The shittiest, most pathetic ones, still do it by SMS (but it's still 2FA and still better than nothing). Others use a card reader (in which you literally plug your bank card, which signs orders / challenge/response style and never leak the card's secret). Other give a physical RSA-like token with codes changing every x second. Others allow the use of an app on a smartphone to confirm transactions.

When I log to at least one of my bank I've got a list asking me which type of 2FA I'll use to log in and confirm payments. Card readers (two different types) are on the list.

I use that to log in, confirm wire transfer and buy stocks too.
Are you quoting Fahrenheit temperatures? It would help to add "F" in that case.
Oh please is exactly what I thought when I read your comment.

This is open source. It's entirely within the spirit of the movement.

The political imperative to twist the definition comes from tech monopolists, angry at a new wave of licenses that inhibit their ability to profit unhindered. You're getting outraged on their behalf.

The difference between MBD-EnCodec and EnCodec is pretty interesting. MBD variant sounds more like a professional studio recording, while the EnCodec feels like a richer sound.

Curious if I’m alone in that.

For what it’s worth though, the voice based examples sound dramatically better with MBD

On the opposite end, two of the jobs I’ve had in the last ten years noted that they saw my emacs config (one interviewer admitted to borrowing from it) and I’m pretty sure it had a positive impact on my prospects.
The number of banks in the US seems perfectly normal. Germany has ~1500 for 80 million inhabitants, the US has ~4800 for 300 million.
It doesn't adjust for density like that.

> A country’s overshoot day is the date on which Earth Overshoot Day would fall if all of humanity consumed like the people in that country.
> We believe creative people are born geniuses or have their brains wired differently or enjoy “ah-ha!” moments in which ideas come fully formed as easily as switching on a light bulb. In reality creativity is — and always has been — a process, one that takes time and discipline to achieve. Anyone with the impulse to be creative can do so, courtesy of our human heritage.

This is a common point of irritation for me. If you become good at something (a form of art, software development, whatever) people tend to basically reject the years of hard work and cultivated skills you put in, ascribing it to a natural and magical talent that they simply don't have. It basically turns a compliment into a backhanded dismissal.
The Burden We Bear
The inability of the poster to imagine their own country doing something similar.

> I thought the article title was an exhortation to people like me to change their mindset and get to work -- and forgive themselves for, even target, stopping at 90%.

I thought that is what it would be, too.

And I agree, that is a healthy approach if a task seems too big to complete. Just focus on the minimum viable outcome, and be sure to break things down into small pieces, minimum viable outcomes in their own right.
If I'm understanding the article, then an aspect of variance is how much a sensor deviates from the wisdom of the crowds. So the 6.8 is harmless if it happens to be close to the right answer, and downweighted if not.

Which, if correct, means that Kalman filters are useful to detect malicious input to crowdsourced data like surveys, reviews, etc.
This is purely a function of everyone remembering the RIAA's decade-long campaign to prevent people from taking the music they had rightfully stolen. As far as I'm aware LLaMA was trained on "publicly available data"[0], not "licensed data".

Furthermore, MusicGen's weights are licensed CC-BY-NC, which is effectively a nonlicense as there is no noncommercial use you could make of an art generator[1]. This is not only a 'weights-available' license, but it's significantly more restrictive than the morality clause bearing OpenRAIL license that Stability likes to use[2].

[2] These are also very much Not Open Source™ but the morality clauses in OpenRAIL are at least non-onerous enough to collaborate over.
Yes, because unlike an simple average you have a model for both what you are trying to measure and the measurement.

For example, one basic model for your example could be if you are trying to measure a constant with some initial uncertainty, say it's Gaussian with a standard deviation, and noisy measurements with say also an uncertainty with Gaussian distribution and some standard deviation. You can tune the initial uncertainty (a number) around the constant you are trying to estimate , and the uncertainty in the measurements (another number than may or may not change).

In this example a Kalman filter won't behave as an average. If the measurements are good (low uncertainty) they will converge quickly, if they are bad the estimate will jump around and take longer to converge.

Anyway, I made a mess, I'm not good at explaining...

And by the way, it's not true what people are suggesting here that Kalman filters are for moving things. They are used to estimate constants _all the time_ but yes, they're more popular for moving things.
It's a standardized file that describes a 3D scene (with references to assets, transforms, etc). It makes asset pipelines easier to spin up and iterate on, but I don't think anything about USD specifically will further enable AI art projects more than they actually do.
Kafka has a prose style that is relatively easy to read, because he tends to describe concrete things rather than abstractions and does not use many unusual words or idioms, but hard to translate because he exploits the relatively free word order of German to write elegantly structured long sentences that don't seem complex in German but can easily become complex in translation.

I read Der Process in German, but I have also looked at one of the English translations, probably the one by Idris Parry, and I didn't like it much: it seemed rough, old-fashioned and generally hard to read compared with the original, though it's partly a matter of personal taste. Wikipedia mentions six English translation of The Trial but presumably some of them are cheaper and more easily available than others so the probability that we both looked at the same English translation are greater than one in six!
Fair enough. Given the US-centric nature of HN it was an educated guess, but I was wrong.

So which perfect country do you live in?

In a commercial context, was this planned or some last ditch effort to get more users/usage?
You should probably use your position to get the title of this blog post changed, then. "CodeCov will eventually be Open Source" is far less deceptive.

Or, more elegantly, "CodeCov is now Source Available".
I think "secure" is the key part that's missing here. There's no incentive for a consumer to use a payment method such as this when paying with a bank. The reason is that credit cards come with consumer protection that this just doesn't offer.
>they totally do lie, for a number of reasons. A most common one is that multimeter presents much higher resistance [...] So yes, multimeters have their own limitations,

Yes, I understand that any physical measurement tool in the universe has an error range whether it's a multimeter or an air pressure gauge. I have 3 air pressure gauges and yes -- all of them are are "lying" to me because they're all "wrong" by various percentages for various environmental reasons. Even the $150 Longacre elite air pressure gauge is lying to me about my car's actual tire pressure by the perspective you're using. The mistruth you're pointing out is from the perspective of the measurement tool (e.g. the multimeter has higher internal resistance.)

However, the "lie" perspective I was using was from the human-configured _target_ device itself -- for adversarial-or-performance-optimization reasons. The humans that configured the network nodes can deliberately make it not respond to ICMP packets which renders the traceroute statistics less than helpful (or "not real" as the author puts it). That's the angle the author was trying to explain in a confusing way. That's a different situation from the analogies that gp (kazinator) was using.

Your perspective is also correct but the physical limitations of measurement tools wasn't my point. The humans with "agency" in how to make their routers or servers respond to ICMP packets is a different kind of "lie" than batteries that haven't been shaken.

>Kinda like for traceroute :) so maybe the analogy is not that bad after all.

I use digital multimeters every day and reading "3v" from a 9-vote battery doesn't feel like a "lie" but a sort of "truth" based on the load factors you point out. However, pinging a system and getting timeouts feels more like a mistruth because the target system is often actually there but somebody didn't want to make it reply to those particular packets.
First, compared to the rest of the EU, Germany is a weird outlier with the number of banks they have (which, by the way, has been declining steadily for 15 years).

Setting that aside, you missed the "deregulated" part.

As I understand it (and I grant my understanding is pretty cursory) Germany has a much stronger central regulating body, and is subject to overall EU regulations as well.

The US has multiple regional banking authorities and a ton of responsibility is delegated to the states, and in general government intervention is seen as a last resort.

So it's both structural and cultural.
Any alternatives which support DoH, DoT, DoQ and do not think they need to reinvent (E)DNS ?

Google works but I want to keep a little distance from them. Also no big fan of Quad9. So what else to use and which is distributed World Wide?
Why is it a red flag? Because you wouldn't do it? I also don't quite get it, but recognise that I'm in no position to judge. That's their project and they can do as they please.
Okay, then either title the page "CodeCov will be Open Source in 3 years", or wait 3 years and then release a post titled "A really old version of CodeCov is now Open Source".
Not a fan of Meta, but haven't they generally been pretty forward with open sourcing their tech?
I’ve open source something from every project I’ve done at work since I’ve started my current job. Again - after going through the open source approval process.

So I’m thinking about with each major bullet point of what I did in STAR format, I’ll have a footnote to the open source code that came from it
In the previous part we discussed the geometry of a spiral staircase and how we can generate a single stair element using the BMesh API. In this part we will discuss how to take that stair element and replicate it into a spiral. We will also be looking at how to generate the other parts of the staircase like the center pole, railing and balusters.
Has to be environmental? CO2 vs O2 concentration; humidity and heat; calorie density in ground vegetation. All are different, and may have contributed to limits on maximum grazer size.

Witness the brontosaurs. Long neck so they could remain relatively motionless and strip their surroundings of nutrients without expending many calories. Such an environment today where everything in a 20 or 30 foot radius is edible may be rarer.
I am way too worried about gas cylinder accidents. Otherwise, I agree with you that MIG really is the most versatile.
