It is possible to quickly toggle on-and-off what the configuration profile sets in Settings. I've occasionally had trouble on captive wi-fi portals, like on planes, but I generally remember it's probably the DoH, so I go toggle it off, get connected, and toggle it back on.

What Grand Theft Auto Tells Us about the ‘Crisis in Masculinity’
Yonz here, I run the community and can be blamed for the 20+ swipes at the discord choice. We started in February 2023, and it has been amazing to see the now ~1k developers coming together and building awesome collaborations like Tinybase + Cr-sqlite.

Yes, we need a community platform aligned with our mission, but it is already hard enough to get people together. Before the website or the discord, it was just a bunch of people following each other on Twitter and a few disparate talks. Starting from there and asking new joiners to set up a new platform adds prohibitive friction. 'There is a platform for that is not enough'; we need most interested folks to also be on it.

A matrix bridge makes perfect sense, but I haven't had the time to set it up.
Does Google/Android have the same level of integration?
It wasn’t the magnet that was the problem or even the laser but instead the system-level problem of SDI.

It was believed then that the best strategy was to shoot down missiles in the boost phase which is 90 seconds over enemy territory. Trouble is that you have to work very quick to accomplish that and have assets in orbit if the threat is a big country like the USSR.

Before then ABM systems used nuclear tipped interceptors at the terminal phase, the U.S. build one called Safeguard and then shut it down, treaties allowed the Russians to have just one and I think they still have one at Moscow.

Currently the U.S. has missile boats that can intercept many missiles at mid course, the previous two systems rejected this because an ICBM could carry a huge number of decoys that are hard to separate from the warheads. Either this problem is solved, willfully ignored or some combination.

That ground-based FEL would have the problem of being based on friendly territory, thus terminal defense and vulnerable to poor atmospheric conditions such as clouds. An airborne laser seems to be the best option, can be either terminal or boost if you can get close to the enemy (short range missile). It has been proven with a toxic and dangerous COIL laser, and may get revised if and when electrically powered fiber lasers improve sufficiently.
Eww? Lots of nobles kept kennels.
So much of the horribly unmaintainable code I've come across was the result of overengineering that whenever I see an abstraction I have a compulsive urge to scream into the void. Some (the simplest ones) are ok, but other times an abstraction that seems like a good idea on day 0 evolves into an unmanageable hodgepodge of hacks that makes an innocent developer that bumps into it years later question their choice of career.
I like the idea of a /now page, but it’s not for me, at least not in public.

This is going off of memory as I'm not at my computer. Bash does something similar. It will read and execute the script line by line so if it's modified before bash gets to that line then weird things can happen. However, functions need to be read completely so the trick is to create a main function and call it at the end of the script.

Use microcontrollers in more advanced way than "load a SDK and bitbang some pins" and you will know.

Having certain peripherals can make some projects go from hard to easy. Power usage can also be huge factor, althought of course if you already have ESP32 on board those aren't exactly great for that.

Like, if you're making motor driver, you probably gonna want some featureful counters with good PWM options, maybe even some floating point instructions if you do something fancy. Probably also good ADCs.

But that needs to be often run realtime or near-realtime so having Wifi/BT stack can add you some headache, both in analog (interference) and digital domain (making sure wifi interrupt wont break timings on rest of your code).

Lastly division of responsibilities is easier to code. ESP32 part for example can focus entirely on wifi/UI/APIs, while the controlled MCU can do just the control and talking with ESP32.

("We" below refers to the US, and an increasing proportion of the world that is adopting US farming practices).

There's a good-natured argument to be made that plant-based diets are more sustainable, because we don't generally farm meat sustainably and ensuring that your meat was farmed sustainably is difficult and expensive.

But it's important to underline that sustainable is an insufficient target in the U.S. in 2023. The motion we need is regenerative.

I don't think regenerative farming can be done efficiently without ethical use of livestock.

This is all to say: if you view the health and quality of our food chain as a higher priority than the ethical concerns of consuming meat, you should reconsider your approach to diet construction.

That being said, it's an expensive lifestyle, and will remain expensive as long as our society continues to subsidize processed foods. If we want to generalize a healthier food chain, we have to change the incentive structures that led us here.

No, it's a fail if every website renders itself to the canvas. I think there's a middle ground where, for example, unknown mime/image types can be handed by "application level"--actually middleware or library-level--codecs supplied as Wasm extensions. The browser doesn't have to ship with them, and it doesn't have to trust them the way it does plugins, but they can hook into key places in ways that maximizes the benefit of having a rendering/layout engine, yet is extensible, fast, and secure.

A few weeks back, we released pg_embedding[1], a new extension for Postgres and LangChain which introduced Hierarchical Navigable Small Worlds (HNSW) indexes for vector similarity search. This new indexing method resulted in 20x faster queries at a 99% accuracy compared to traditional IVFFlat indexing[2].

Today, we released a new version which includes the following improvements:

1. The HNSW index is now constructed on disk instead of in memory

2. The extension now supports Cosine, Manhattan, and Euclidean distances

Income distributions have fat tails, so the median is less than the average, which only amplifies grandparent poster's point.
I'm surprised this is big news right now as I remember reading in the news all the way back in 2003 that for the Matrix sequels, the role of Seraph(the guardian of the Oracle) was supposed to go to the famous Jet Li, but he turned it down as WB had him sign off the rights to his digital image and Kung-Fu moves which he refused as he considered that his proprietary IP, so his role went to a lesser known actor who had less bargaining power.

So even 20 years ago, before the advent of ML driven deep-fakes, the tech existed to capture, digitize and generate photorealistic copies of actors[1], which they used for the Matrix sequels, so the writing was on the wall for at least that long.

How well does it adhere to the system prompt?

The base Llama-Chat models use something called "ghost attention" (they describe it in their paper). No clue how it works, but the result is, the model sticks to the system prompt extremely well. If you tell it that it's Marvin the Paranoid Android in the system prompt, it will stick 100% to that.

In llama-derived models like Vicuna, if you tell it to act as Marvin the Paranoid Android, eventually the regular "assistant" voice starts to bleed through, after only a few chat turns.

Doesn't sound like a big deal, but in cases where you have strict rules you want the model to follow, then the base llama-2-chat models are far better than any derived ones that do not implement ghost attention.

Business as usual. Lukashenko is bringing immigrants to the border with Poland and giving them tools to illegally cross the border, even though these poor people could do it legally a few dozens of kilometers away using a normal border crossing and asking for asylum etc. Poland accepted millions of refugees from Ukraine and a few hundred thousand from Asia and Africa.

So Putin's plan is just to create problems and confusion using Lukashenko as a proxy. These immigrants have been there for more than a year and he is still bringing new ones.

Good/bad is too simple to explain these things. Corporations try to make money or build leverage. Of course some of them don’t execute or compete very well. In the early days it was doing good and building the leverage, now it is time for them to use that leverage to continue to milk the cash cow for as long as possible.
I’ve been working with Prisma and React Query recently and I wonder if those libraries haven’t fallen victim to the same trap. They seem to want to ”do everything you could possibly want to do, in a clean wrapper”.

But I wonder if they are trying to wrap domains that are too big to wrap, and should just be left to a programming language.
I personally don't have any problem with heavy macro-use in libraries, I feel like that is where they shine. So long as the documentation is good, I don't really care how the library itself is implemented. I would much rather have the cleaner API in many cases. I know it can be taken too far, though. Some funky stuff can happen in Phoenix's router, though a lot of it is actually to reduce cyclic compile-time dependencies as the router is a place where these necessarily happen.

Macros in business code, however, are pure evil. I feel like anyone who spent any time in Rails over the past decade has learned that lesson.
Planned economies are associated with communism, but they're also basically what all corporations do internally, including government owned "corporations" like the police and militaries.

Food gets massive subsidies in the west, because we really don't want shortages, and even massive subsidies are a really cheap way to do that, because most of the consumer cost of food is later in the supply chain than the production.

My gut feeling (I'm neither an economist nor a political student) is that while many small corporations competing with each other is an excellent way to explore the space of supply, demand, and technological changes, when you find a known-good solution it's probably better to merge them into one to get rid of the needless duplication — which happens naturally in capitalism, but then I'd go further and say the government should buy up the shares and take advantage of any dividends to (effectively) be a non-tax based revenue source.
