If you are really close to one pole of a magnet and far away from the other then the force scales like 1/r^2, it is in the far field under the influence of both poles of the magnet that it scales like 1/r^3. Electrostatics scales like 1/r^2 (because you fet isolated charges).
The other two are a complicated story.
Decades ago I spent a whole day adding a serious new feature to my software. Had the first version all polished up and ready, and through a misunderstanding with my version control software (probably RCS, maybe CVS, probably not SCCS), I lost that work. Like maybe I did a checkout instead of checkin, something like that. I went to bed quite annoyed.

The next day I got up and started from scratch. The new implementation took me half a day, and was decidedly a better implementation.

Fred Brooks turned out to be right.
I don't think we can simply forget that RH are the ones who made CentOS an internal project, promised to grow and support it, kill it off, and then call folks who are upset about the bait and switch "freeloaders". That seems rather dishonest, considering it is the polar opposite of what they initially promised to do.
Oh FFS.

Writing code is like writing natural language.

It's editing that counts. Not the first draft.

Whether or not you should throw out your first draft is in proportion to its value at getting you to the final draft.

Literally the first thing I did when I had llama.cpp working was set the temperature to 0 and repeat queries.

Are the Kids Al(t)right? (2019)
Who is "we"? People addicted to this lunatic method of social book consumption like the author? I don't use Goodreads. Nobody I know has ever mentioned Goodreads in conversation. I learn about new books and authors from the websites of authors and publishers I already like and word of mouth. I have zero interest in knowing what strangers are reading or in having them know what I'm reading. If I have an extraordinarily strong opinion about a book I might post in a subreddit to see if anybody else thinks the same. I don't have the slightest damn idea how many books I read last year and I'll keep it that way, thanks.
I would just use Make, or write a checkpoint file for each step, and wrap them all in if statements so they don't run if their checkpoint is there.

Or, if I were doing it from scratch, I would not have a bash script that takes days to run, that sounds like some Real Programming, and I'd do it in Python, where it's easier to manage complexity, in case there was some more fine grained caching that could be done, maybe even between runs.

Maybe I need to make another coffee or something but I really don't understand at all why they wanted Goto for this.

A distinct isoform does not necessarily mean a mutation.

The coding sequence for an isoform is part of the normal gene DNA sequence, but the cells can “choose” which version to make. In this case the caPCNA isoform is the form predominantly expressed in cancer cells.

(There is a mechanism where novel splicing isoforms can be produced by a mutation, but this doesn’t seem to be one of those.)
I wonder if someone at AWS noticed that the interface endpoint pricing was offensive for accessing S3 and therefore created the free “VPC Endpoint for Amazon S3.”

I would find it rather surprising if the actual cost to Amazon of connecting a VPC to S3 were substantially lower than the cost of connecting a VPC to any other AWS service.
> Based on the description in the article, I am reminded of the Stanford Guest House (https://rde.stanford.edu/stanford-guest-house), which is owned and run by Stanford, for the benefit of faculty, staff, students, and visitors. It is also run as a proper hotel.

The Guest House is also explicitly for visiting guests of the university, like a visiting professor, a student's family, or a patient of the medical center. While the FAQ doesn't explicitly say that the university's own on-site staff are forbidden from staying, it's fairly clear from context that they aren't welcome.

CVSS is really just used to stack-rank issues and decide how to handle them. Orgs get a list of CVEs, they sort them by score to decide which ones to handle first. From there someone removed from the actual process comes up with deadlines such as "All critical issues, defined as 9.0 or above, must be handled in 30 days." If they are reasonable there is additional language around "or best efforts must be made to resolve or mitigate the issue." If not, gghfdd.

On a side note, CVSS v4.0 arrived around 2023-01 and is.. maybe(?) better: https://www.first.org/cvss/v4-0/

They'd definitely need to disclose this, too. Imagine it being unsafe to operate machinery and drive just because you ate a bowl of berries. (Or for me, melatonin supplements always make me wired for some reason. I wouldn't want to feel caffienated after a bowl of berries.)
> finding things we already knew.

we didn't know that before it was published.

we could have been sitting around now talking about breaking new experimental results from LHCb that call into question the standard model, you have to actually do the work to check. and you have to check a lot of unexciting results in order to find one which is groundbreaking (which is actually what the authors of the LK-99 paper claim to have done over decades before finding this one material).
I would not point to the Pippin as an exemplar of AAA game development. It was a locked down Performa with a custom build of System 7. Most of the titles for it were just retooled Mac releases and it didn't really offer any special "game console" special sauce. It was the product of an extremely unfocused and frankly rudderless Apple.

But I would agree Bungie was a AAA studio though in spite of Apple rather than because of anything in particular Apple did. They treated Bungie and their games as a thing to provide a demo but never really anything to actively support or encourage.

Recent versions of the VIA electron app have not worked for me for mysterious reasons (mysterious because it does not report errors) so it basically only works in Chrome, which I do not use.

Why is this a thing still? Who is out there saying "We want you to develop an app but we won't let you use Python"?

Granted, I really wish there was a python-lts that didn't break stdlib stuff every few years, but it seems like everything remotely modern breaks compatibility constantly...
Exactly.

Take the Stanford Guest House: It is operated by Residential & Dining Enterprises, which is an auxiliary. It is expected to maintain its own financials, and break even (or make a profit) on its own. It's not perfect (for example, accounting for students who get free room & board), but it's largely completely separate.
This is a great example of "keep saying it so that people think it's true." Meanwhile people are complaining of not receiving their Prime Day deliveries, still, receiving incorrect and/or damaged goods, and when attempting to replace those incorrect/damaged goods Amazon not honoring the Prime Day price.
When I discover a company prefers Windows desktops, Microsoft 365, and Sharepoint, it's often a red flag for me. I've worked with guys who didn't know how to use git, so they copy all their code into Sharepoint. Then there are others who didn't know how to merge branches, so they copy from one folder to another using the windows desktop. It's even worse when the people doing this are supposedly "senior." In a Linux or Mac environment, I never encounter these sorts of WTFs
It's just a preprint. I appreciate the fast update of progress on a new development. Just don't give it the same weight as a peer reviewed piece.
Huh. I had the same bias. What is it with Altima drivers specifically I wonder?
_If_ 3.5 is a MoE model, doesn't that give a lot of hope to open source movements? Once a good open source MoE model comes out, maybe even some type of variation of the decoder models available(I don't know whether MoE models have to be trained from scratch), that implies a lot more can be done with a lot less.
I don't think this commitment had any plausibility. Token "probabilities" only have a straightforward probabilistic interpretation for base models. In fine-tuned models, they do no longer represent the probability of the next token given the prompt, but rather how well the next token fulfills the ... tendencies induced by SL and RL tuning. Which is presumably pretty useless information. OpenAI has no intention to provide access to the GPT-4 base model, and they in fact removed API access to the GPT-3.5 base model.
I've spent a fair amount of time messing with the ChromiumOS source tree and I think Google's EOL dates mostly coincide with dropping support for older kernels. Hardware vendors only ship drivers and patches for the LTS kernel at the time the device is built, they don't test or port those patches to newer kernels.

OEMs don't want to spend time/money on kernel updates for old devices. They'd rather sell you a new one.
That's right, stacks can be instantiated across repos even depending upon the organization (both meanings of 'organization' are valid here).

Better email verification (at the time there wasn’t even a captcha to solve), detection of typo squatting (pip install djanho or pip install jango), limiting number of packages that can be registered in a time period by IP and/or user, prompting the user that they’re installing a package with a single Levenshtein distance away from a top 100 package. It feels crazy that I can setup a mine field of packages that trick people into thinking they’ve installed the correct packages. It just takes one typo or mistake to install a package that runs an arbitrary potentially malicious script without warning.

I find it hard to deliberately leave a book unfinished even if I’m not enjoying it.

I noticed the same, but only for large and extra large pickups. It actually made me feel better about driving a small/midsize pickup (Colorado). It's crazy that the extra large trucks have a 4-5x other driver death rate over a reasonably sized pickup.

True, but that can change depending on circumstances. For example, I believe that during the early days of Covid, a number of Hospital folks stayed at the Guest House, presumably to avoid passing an infection on to family.

No, it doesn’t.

Again, nothing against you if you dislike being asked how things are going by a coworker — but if that is the culture of the company you work at, there’s nothing wrong with it.

In before someone from Red Hat comments that nobody ever used the term 'freeloader' in public communications...
No, but they also don't need to try to catch some of the hype while pretending to be immune to that hype. Clearly they feel the need to put LK-99 in at least one article title even if there is no news. That's not their normal standard for articles, at least not as far as I'm aware.

I'm aware of quite a few other scientific debacles, some involving outright fraud, data fabrication and sometimes true believers that even convinced themselves. What is interesting about the Ranga Diaz episode is that it was Nature that published it (and it took two years to retract it):

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2801-z

So their stance right now is understandable but also a bit self serving.
There is “the expected performance of idiomatic code”, though, which is what most people mean when they talk about the performance of a language.
I just installed CentOS on my new home server and it's supported until 2027.
For any who don't follow the Linux kernel closely, Maddog is an absolute legend.

His perspective is very interesting and appreciated, especially love how he frames things historically. Knowing the history really helps put things in context. TFA is long, but worth reading.
The data is essentially this: Amazon owns a bunch of real estate and has lots of partnerships and tax breaks associated with congregating lots of people in certain locations. If they continue to allow work from home, then Amazon is on the hook for the growingly negative economic impact of their business decisions.

From an employee perspective, it's hit and miss. When your team is spread out across the world, there's no way to RTO. This is to say, "voluntary leave" is a euphemism for "quiet firing."
Dumb question, but aren't iPads full of non-Apple hardware too?

I can't imagine buying a brand new device and be told that it's already too old for system updates because Google and the hardware provider are choosing not to work together to provide support. Google can point the finger all they want, but this is entirely a self-inflicted issue that other system software providers seemed to have worked past.
Ask HN: Am I the only one that hates the dark patters with dates?
Youtube comments/community posts etc now only does X days ago and usually when you went to inspect the element the real date would be an attribute but nowadays its just the actual text and nothing else. Feels like another dark pattern. Ubereats and Doordash avoids showing you the actual times you ordered and when it was delivered to avoid you calculating the time in your head to realizing it took 1 hour and 5 mins instead of what the timer said and kept updating to.

I'm starting to notice this alot now and not sure if this is just hanlon's razor or actual malice (im going with the latter).
For now, it's probably better for developers to focus on Windows in such a way that Wine/Proton can easily run it on Linux. But once the percentage of Linux users grows big enough, it may become more attractive for developers to focus on a native Linux version.

That won't be for a while, though. But im the mean time, Wine/Proton/DXVK means that the Linux experience is excellent even without explicit developer support, so the Linux user base can grow beyond just the handful of die hards. Anyone can easily game on Linux now.

That is how Steam solves the chicken/egg problem.

I don't think this article, or the Google program, is talking about Google employees who are traveling to a different region.
Ermm, no, that was a literal quote, as you can see from your own comment halfway up the page.

And those bits aren't nearly enough to form an opinion about LK99, it may be enough to form an opinion about what the appearance of a generic, cheap room temperature super conductor might do for the world from a lay persons perpective. But it doesn't say anything about LK99.
Out of curiosity why not...

I don't think the Google program referenced in this article are for people who are traveling out of their normal work area (like, someone traveling from New York to Mountain View). It's targeted toward employees already local to the Bay Area.
This is cool. My first thought is the choice of dialect rather than accent.

I'm from NC and the Lumbee Indians had a way of speaking that was unique and endearing. It feels like many places in the US are losing that identity and the language of most areas is merging. Especially in the west, the differences between peoples' idiolects is usually greater than the differences between regions' dialects.

I think the quality of the median engineer is declining. The finer details like putting the full timestamp in an HTML attribute are lost on these new people. I also think they skipped learning fundamentals and jump into React and didn't take the time to learn real DOM, so vDOM -> DOM conversion poses even more barriers for them.

I agree, and really hope that Meta is doing something in that vein. Reducing the FLOPs:Memory ratio (as in Soft MoE) could also open the door to CPU (or at least Apple Silicon) inference becoming more relevant.
The dominance of streaming platforms like Netflix are the problem here. Everything is sold in a package as a subscription service. If we had just classical VoD, then people would pay for each film separately. Like four bucks to stream the movie in a three day period within the next 30 days. That's like classical movie renting. Or like going to a movie theater, just cheaper.
