Sure, but what about people changed in general? Our relatively short life spans and the increasing amount of information renders it difficult to keep a perfect thread of lessons learnt from history (and people are inclined to learn different lessons from the same events). Future generations also have their own morals, ethics philosophies (as they should), and so anything we think was accomplished by some big event in the past may just as well as had not happened. So no, I am not convinced that apocalyptic events are needed for human cultural evolution. The catalyst of cultural evolution is almost always a desire for a better way to live. Even if everyone was the same religion, caste, race, class, education level, IQ etc. , fundamentally people will always behave the same.
> It could even be extended to give preference to people who have established residency in a region

How do you propose establishing residency if you cannot buy a house? Be forced to rent even if you can buy a house?

Basically what you’re proposing if citizens not being able to have mobility in the country. If you’re born in the economic centers or scenic places, good for you, but in case you were born in middle of Montana, good luck because you can’t go anywhere else.
How would you implement "get priority"? I think there's already some prioritization in terms of being easier to get loans for a primary residence, and better tax treatment, etc.

But I'm not sure how you'd prevent an investor from outbidding an individual looking to buy a primary residence. You'd have to force the seller to accept a worse offer, and even if such a law was passed I don't think it would survive scrutiny from the courts.
I have no idea who is telling you that unless it's yourself. Contrary to the impression that some people here may give you, making millions a few (or even many) years out of school is not the norm wherever you went to school. And while connections do matter to some degree among Ivy and related grads I know (and those are mostly for what many here would consider low-paid jobs in the literary industry), connections from people I've worked with at jobs have always mattered to me more or even exclusively.

As I wrote, there is pedigree in some professions/positions but I'm assuming you're not looking at clerking on the Supreme Court, working for a white shoe law firm, and maybe getting a Federal Court of Appeals seat. Nor working for McKinsey.
From my experience, its much more stable. Sid is "unstable" by Debian's definition, but Debian's definition of Stable is a lot more intense than most other distros.

If you want a little more stability but still rolling release, do Debian Testing. Packages are only really delayed by 2-10 days (except during release windows where they do branching). The only criteria for something getting into Testing is that it passes all tests while in Sid for multiple or all supported platforms.

But overall, Sid is fairly rock solid. If anything I think Rhino Linux should have taken Debian Sid or Testing as a source, adding all the niceties/desktop/sane defaults of Ubuntu that they like. and released that.
> It will provide an open process to access source code that organizations can use to build distributions compatible with RHEL

So they're not trying to create something like RHEL but in a way that is committed to being more 'open' somehow. They're still shooting for the bug-for-bug stuff, and still an effort that's parasitic on RHEL in terms of its substantive development.

This whole situation sucks.
I don't get what's "Ubuntu-based" about Rhino?

It uses XFCE, and Pacstall for package management, which to me makes it utterly unlike Ubuntu.
> It isn’t just what people are used to, there are significant differences.

But that's the whole point!

> The difference is that an LLM isn't 1000 different intelligences. It's one intelligence, being asked to pretend to be 1,000 different people.

No, its not.

Its more like 1,000 individuals sharing one genetic template.

Its just that the experiential context that along with the template makes an individual is very small with LLM instances.

I've had Python code break a number of times when moving between 3.x minor releases. For a distro like CoreOS that is single purpose and intentionally kept minimal, I can see the value in a rolling release. For a traditional OS though, I do not want to be forced to spend my day fixing stuff because an update ran last night. Choosing when to change language and dependency versions is a feature.

What's the differentiator from the Fedora/Centos/RHEL line?
Well it's kinda like it, and kinda not. You can make a living with a job, or a small business. One will end up making more, but fundamentally both are viable approaches to living.

Alas its not really possible to make a living from music. Sure some rounding error of people can, working terrible hours, always on the road, grinding away. It's a pretty bad lifestyle for pretty bad money.

Yes there are successes, but the fact you can -name them- is a bad bad sign for an industry.

If you like to play music, then do it got fun, not money. If you accumulate enough for a meal out, then great. Get a job, pay the bills, and enjoy making the music, even if no-one listens.

Stream if you like, sell albums if you like, either way it's gonna be a pittence. Arguing over which is better is meaningless in the sense that they're both bad. Focus on the fun. Don't let the money rob you of the joy.

Oh, and starting a record label? Good luck with that... but it's a daft idea.
Why would there be? I just showed you. Tuple accepts varargs of Object. You want a type check before you erase the argument's type to Object. Also, it's common practice to use local variables rather than inlining, just for readability. This is not some contrived example--this is an actual API that's in use by companies now.

Sure, you might append to the list. But in the world of increasing immutability, more likely the return value of getAddresses would be immutable. You don't want to rely on "well hopefully there's a method call that catches the error before it goes into the args list."

What did I gravely misunderstand? And if I gravely misunderstood it, then why can't you point out what's wrong with both of my examples instead of running as fast as possible to your own toy example? I'm actually laughing at your totally shameless pivot.

>maximally safe

You don't know the definition of maximum. Maximum means there exist no levels which exceed it. You have amnesia about the type checks that I just demonstrated which do not occur with var that would have prevented the runtime problems I just explained.

If your argument is that, meh, var is "good enough" type checking, then make that argument. Don't pretend like you can't read basic Java code.

For ones serving municipalities or communities, sure. My electric company is a co-op, but it is also not a dedicated reseller as it generates most of its power and usually has surplus it sells to PG&E.

With an HOA, the very land your home is built on has this sort of lien via a “special property assessment” and you are subject to their policy or risk having your home taken in a 100% legal way. My electric company cannot do that to me.

We had some statewide meetings online for Michigan entrepreneurs at the start of COVID. Someone suggested that we use Hopin which I'd never heard of at the time.

I have an app that needs to generate hundreds and eventually thousands of images. What tools can I use to generate these images at scale. After I figure that out, then I will be looking at Rubbrband for quality control.
yes, it's much better than the previous version but still not close to midjourney. there is that threshold in image generation via these models where until you cross it every picture feels off in some way and obviously ai generated. with midjourney I am continuously amazed at what I get out of it. then if you want high res pictures pass them through Gigapixel and voila.
I love how they throw Java into the trademarks section. Java isn't even mentioned anywhere. Looks like a case of Oracle being Oracle.
I 100% agree or at least am just as misinformed as you. Seriously, what is the purpose of this library?

I was hoping to get some genuine answers to this question from this repo but just like the langchain documentation is filled with simple hypothetical scenarios that don't make the library's purpose clear.

Okay, I can use an abstraction to come up with a company name. That is not an interesting use case nor does it explain the need for the library.

What are these hypothetical complex systems that necessitate these abstractions and organization framework? I'm genuinely curious.

Why would they respond? This just confirms their position as the leader in the Linux space, doesn't it?
Right, and that's why systems like bandcamp are different. The artist doesn't need a label to start with, and BC takes just 15%, and the artist controls pricing strategy.

But you're right that label robbery of artists played a big role in the significance of merchandise. It just wasn't true to the same extent in (say) the 70s, because revenue from actual music sales was larger. That was particularly true for musicians who had significant merch sales - they also had really significant music sales revenue.

As I noted elsewhere here, the one upside of label thievery was their ability to cross-subsidize artists. Even tiny (in terms of general sales) labels like ECM got a huge hit every once in a while (e.g. Jarrett's Koeln Concert) that enabled them to keep working with artists whose albums barely broke even. That model has essentially ended now.

I like the distributed architecture. Each solar panel has its own inverter, as well as each battery. If I want more panels or batteries, I just add them in parallel with the existing panels or batteries. If a panel or battery goes down, the remaining ones keep working. Avoiding high-voltage DC also makes the project more DIY-friendly. The downside is that Enphase requires users to take online classes before they grant access to the installer app (easy but time-consuming).

Right now I have 3.8KW of solar and a single 3.3KWh battery. We are producing more than we use most months, so the solar is good but the battery is undersized. If we have an extended grid-down scenario like what happened in Texas, the system will mainly provide daytime backup plus a few evening hours. This is still better than nothing, and we can easily add more batteries as we have the budget.

I think the easiest way would be to change local property taxes in a way that disincentivizes investors. For example: a “cap” on property taxes for purchasers who declare the home as their primary residence, and a substantially higher tax rate for secondary homes that compounds per home owned by the investor in the jurisdiction (e.g. Primary Resident owner gets capped property taxes at 3% while AirBNB investor who owns 4 homes would get taxed at 15% on investment house 1, 30% on house 2, 45% on house 3 and 60% on house 4).

> That’s not exactly true [...] Instead, the brain actually works to actively distill knowledge that doesn’t need to be memorized verbatim into its essential components

...but that's exactly what OP said, no?

I remember attending an ML presentation where the speaker shared a quote I can't find anymore (speaking of memory and generalization :)), which said something like: "To learn is to forget"

If we memorized everything perfectly, we would not learn anything: instead of remembering the concept of a "chair", you would remember thousands of separate instances of things you've seen that have a certain combination of colors and shapes etc

It's the fact that we forget certain details (small differences between all these chairs) that makes us learn what a "chair" is.

Likewise, if you remembered every single word in a book, you would not understand its meaning; understanding its meaning = being able to "summarize" (compress) this long list of words into something more essential: storyline, characters, feelings, etc.
Appreciate the link! I actually dabbled with Clohessy-Wiltshire equations in some higher-level orbital classes years ago. I haven't done anything with spacecraft rendezvous since college so it definitely fell off my radar.

As for the "existence" of the force, I suppose you're right in that it can get quite philosophical, as even our "Earth-Centered Inertial" reference frame isn't truly inertial.
There's always going to be a hole because of a legacy of not having null in the type system. Java can't simply break that.

This. Weight decay is just a method of dropping most weights to zero which is a standard technique used by statisticians for regularization purposes for decades. As far as I understand, it goes back at least to Tikhorov from 1970 and was mostly called ridge regression in the regression context. Normal ordinary least squares attempts to minimize the L2 norm of the squared residuals. When a system is overdetermined, adding a penalty term (usually just a scalar multiple of an identity matrix) and also minimizing the L2 norm of that biases the model to produce mostly near-zero weights. This helps with underdetermined systems and gives a better conditioned model matrix that is actually possible to solve numerically without underflow.

It's kind of amazing to watch this from the sidelines, a process of engineers getting ridiculously impressive results from some combo of sheer hackery and ingenuity, great data pipelining and engineering, extremely large datasets, extremely fast hardware, and computational methods that scale very well, but at the same time, gradually relearning lessons and re-inventing techniques that were perfected by statisticians over half a century ago.

How is this even a shock.

Anyone who so much as taken a class on this knows that even the simplest of perceptron networks, decision trees, or any form of machine learning model generalizes. That's why we use them. If they don't, it's called overfit[1], where the model is so accurate on the training data that its inferential ability on new data suffers.

I know that the article might be talking about a higher form of generalization with LLMs or whatever, but I don't see why the same principle of "don't overfit the data" wouldn't apply to that situation.

No, really: what part of their base argument is novel?

Good example in my math and physics classes I found it really helpful to understand the general concepts, then instead of memorizing formulas could actually derive them from other known (perhaps easier-to-remember) facts.

Geometry is good for training in this way—and often very helpful for physics proofs too!
I think it was RedHat.

I had tried Debian first but switched to RedHat pretty quickly afterwards.

(Back then, RedHat had nothing to do with "enterprise", it was just the most polished Linux distro around. Ubuntu didn't exist yet.)

(These days FWIW I use boring old Debian, and I'm not a zealot about it. It works for me. Use what works for you, I don't care. I have a separate machine for gaming and it runs Windows. I know Steam works pretty well on Linux these days but Windows is still less hassle for games.)

More seriously (and more relevantly), in the context of the current conversation about privacy and user autonomy, the correct answer to "why do you need to be able to do X" should usually be, "that's none of your business."

"Why do you need to run a VPN?" None of your business. "Why do you need to wear a mask?" None of your business. "Why do you have WebGL disabled?" None of your business. "Why does your browser not have this font installed?" None of your business.

A big part of autonomy and agency is that you don't need to ask permission or justify to anybody why you're doing the things you have agency to do. If you need to explain then it's not autonomy, it's permission. I don't feel I need anyone's permission to wear a mask indoors in a public space regardless of my reasoning (and in practice I'm never asked to explain, millage may vary but my experience is that nobody really cares). And similarly I shouldn't need Cloudflare's permission to run an obscure browser or to customize my computer setup.
