Not really.

Most tasks in a car do not run on high speed cutting edge chips.

A few random examples:

- adjusting your side mirrors
- the control of the AC cooling unit and speed of the fans
- electronically adjustable seats
- parking sensors (the beeping kind)
- wiper controls
- engine controls (ice or BV)
- inverter (BV)

All of those require electronics most require a microcontroller but not the latest 3nm Snapdragon.
Because they culturally see anyone "beneath them" as NPCs that exist to serve them, and anything other than perfect servility is seen as a personal insult.

American customer service mentality is supremely fucked up. I actively avoid businesses that more actively force employees to interact with customers in certain artificial ways, because some are even worse than the norm.
It does not bother me. But I think there should be a min/max for how much wealth a person has. No one suffers from taxing windfall profits. Windfall , by definition, being unexpectedly high profits.

Show HN: Checkpoint Arena – Compare Stable Diffusion Checkpoints
If you go to Civitai now you'll find a slew of amazing looking sample images for each checkpoint. However, these are heavily prompt-engineered and cherry-picked of course, and there is no good "objective" way of comparing different checkpoints.

In an attempt to address this we've created Checkpoint Arena, a small hobbyist project to compare Stable Diffusion checkpoints across a set of uniform, standardized and simple prompts.

I personally find it very enjoyable to click through some of the different seeds (left/right arrow) on the compare page (https://checkpoint-arena.com/compare) to see how the different checkpoints can arrive at very-different-yet-similar-looking results!
> 1% already the real GDP growth rate

In Euros. The dollar was also losing real value in that time. You can't compare a real figure from one time period with nominal figures from another without doing some adjusting. (You're describing, in essence, a carry trade.)
I debated going to this race, but $3500-$6500 for a hotel stay that is close to free normally really discouraged me.

I've not had the same experience w/ UPS drivers. I had a lawsuit with UPS for them hitting my gate. They're in such a hurry they can't let it finish opening. After 6 years they finally paid the $14k to replace it. I'm still trying to get them to pay the attorney fees that were awarded.

Amazon drivers stop, wait for it to open, and drive down the drive at a reasonable speed. Amazon takes a picture after they have left the items.

Our app writes json logs and we use a tool (logdna) to centrally query/display those logs, it's a great solution IMO
I only agree with this for a request/response application.

I disagree for fully automated applications, for example message-driven ones. Logging key steps is important for situations where you need that post-mortem information after a problem already happened, because you often cannot reproduce the exact environment in which the problem was encountered. Numbers and timing information can be very useful in these systems, as well as information about what path the system will take (tracing) when there are many.
In a nutshell I am using the Pub/Sub model, both players subscribe to a Topic, with a set of unique identifiers that direct where message need to be delivered to. I built a message broker from scratch using Erlang. I also have 3 message brokers running in Ihio, Belgium and Sydney. They are all connected to one another in a mesh.

You will connect to your closest node and I will connect to my closest node and then the NoLag message brokers will pass the messages on for us. I use Google Cloud geo routing for that.

As it is now for the MVP, NoLag only supports WebSockets, I know this is not the most efficient for games but the browser does not support UDP/TCP. The idea was to do TCP and UDP if there was a need for it from clients. Thinking of it now I need TCP for MQTT, sot that will be next.

With the BTTF game example each browser is sending the players location and movement as it happens, or more accurately when ever the Babylon game engine completes a cycle. If you were to mimic a UDP connection, you could send timestamps in the player payload, and if the timings is more than 100ms then "hide" the player.

Unfortunately now latency metrics, another one on the TODO list(there is a few things :-) ).
But I do have a very rudimentary metric for you, I am in Melbourne and the closest NoLag node to me is Sydney, the round trip latency is about 20ms.

If you have the time and want to have more of a play, you could check out the developer docs https://developer.nolag.app

Unfortunately I only have TypeScript SDK for you to check out, I might build a Python SDK next...
We are still in the process of improving the survey, so your feedback is super valuable. So far, we have been over-indexing on helping our users figure out the severity of their insomnia and their sleep habits so we can create a personalized program, so our survey can be quite lengthy. Will definitely look into making it shorter. We do have pricing information in our FAQ (https://stellarsleep.com/faqs) but yes, it's easily missed on the page with other information. We'll look into making it clearer to our users.

I am so happy about them releasing this. A few years ago I wrote a multi-task syntax annotator in Rust using Laurent Mazare's excellent Torch binding (tch-rs, it looks like he is also working on Candle):

https://github.com/tensordot/syntaxdot

However, the deployment story was always quite difficult. The PyTorch C++ API is not stable, so a particular version of tch-rs will only work with a particular PyTorch version. So, anyone wanting to use SyntaxDot always had to get exactly the right version of libtorch (and set some environment variables) to build the project.

The idea of making an abstraction over Torch and Rust ndarray (similar to Burn) crossed my mind several times, but there is only so much that I could do as a solo developer. So Candle would be a god-given if I was still working on this project.

Seeing Candle wants to make me port curated-transformers to Candle for fun:

That level of criminalization and corruption is no different than any other middle income countries sadly.

For example, the ex-Interior Minister in China getting arrested for corruption in 2014 as $14.5 Billion in assets were found [0]

Or the Odenbrecht Scandal in Brazil that toppled Dima Roussef due to $0.5 Billion in bribes [2]

Or the 2G Spectrum Allocation scandal in India that caused the govt to lose $25 Billion [3]

Is this one of those cases where it ends up causing death by regulation?

Take the pharmaceutical industry in the US. One reason it's so expensive for them to operate is the massive amount of rules and regulations that surround their work and cause them to hire tons more highly skilled personnel in order to meet those regulations just to get work done.

Now all those rules exist because someone did something bad and the rules prevent those bad things from happening again, which is a good thing. However, it increases the cost of doing business, and over time, as these rules and regulations pile up, everything gets more and more expensive and complex.

It's unfortunate that we as a society now have to pay for the actions of a bad actor in perpetuity. I don't know of a good alternative, because again these rules exist for a reason. Fraud is obviously bad, and people will constantly take advantage of the system until we regulate it more and more, but then normal rule followers pay the price.

For what it's worth, I think I am. I got a gift voucher from work a little while back, combined it with a few other gift vouchers I had lying around and bought a convertible ChromeOS tablet. It seemed like a good choice, since I didn't have a tablet form-factor device at the time, it was a lightweight ARM thing that could natively run Android apps and Linux apps, and it ran a mostly-OSS stack including open source graphics drivers. I found it way more appealing than the equivalent devices running Android or Windows.

As soon as I got it home, I realized that all my passwords and bookmarks were in my Firefox account, and I remembered that I don't really like the idea of using Chromium-based browsers on the web for philosophical reasons. I tried to install Firefox, but the Linux version didn't work too well in tablet mode, so I had to suck it up and use Chrome. Kind of dumb on my part, I know, but I still like the device, and I'd like it even more if Firefox worked better on it.
Although this has little bearing on the study, BMI works best for people of average height. Tall thin people have a high BMI, and unthin short people have a low BMI.

Math reason: the square term for height is incorrect, people are three dimensional and a cube would be more appropriate (the formula is (lbweight/(inchheight^2 * 703))).

Check the BMI of tall and short people that you know in this chart:

This presumes all of your opinions are wrong, and further presumes you'd hold these beliefs strongly when information changes, which is the very definition of irrational.

So yeah, if you act irrationally, you will make bad decisions. But it's not irrational to believe something loosely based on a very limited set of facts.
I remember my first experience with vim, back when I was trying out Linux for the first time in the 90s as a teenager. "What is vim? How do I even exit out of this thing? Who would even use this?"

I thought GRRM was trying to set up a fictional European Middle Ages, at least in Westeros?

In any case, his depiction of "Asian" nomadic cultures is hilariously unrealistic as well. I recommend ACOUP's chapters on the Dothraki; their culture doesn't fit anything from the real-world, be it Huns, Mongols or Native Americans, all quoted by GRRM as references (so it's valid to mention if he misused them).

Someone mentioned GRRM seems to be using stereotype, not reality, as reference! Which is fine and dandy, except GRRM claimed he was aiming for realism...
The tractor beam effect could be from the black phosphorus impurities in the sample. That's ferromagnetic so you have two kinds of forces on the flake.

This is explicitly why Boise State University, an otherwise middle-to-low-tier research university boasts such a high-quality materials engineering department. BSU actually hold some of their intro-to-materials-science courses at the Boise Micron fab so Micron employees can work towards said degrees without missing as much work to commute between the two locations.

Edit to add:

I've met a few people who are aware of US military supply chain rules, and assume it means "oh, chinese $doodad must be crap, that's why we don't give them to our troops", when the reality is just as you said. Supply chain bubbles can be massively disruptive, so its a real strategic blunder to outsource critical components to the country we have designated as our number one rival. I'm not saying we're set up for a trade war, but we are well past due to calculate the cost of increasing short-term profits. Is a quarterly decrease in operating costs from consolidating fabs worth risking a massive disruption when that single fab is knocked out? Given the volumes that even small fabs do, I argue that quarterly increase is not at all worth it.

It's only unclear if your business model is malicious and relies on finding innovative ways to breach it and pretend it's compliant.

The regulation is very clear: non-functionally-essential data processing requires explicit consent. If in doubt, err on the side of caution and use consent and opt-in rather than another legal basis such as legitimate interest. Business models based on stalking or spamming are no longer allowed.

Keep in mind that the objective of the regulation is not some punitive shake-down but to give people rights on how their data is used. A good-faith effort that accidentally falls short will be given guidance and a reasonable timeline to implement changes - there's no risk to ever get a fine as long as you err on the side of caution. You can also proactively ask your local regulator for guidance if something is unclear.
So, interesting you would say that.

Acoup does point out that the pelenore (sp? The ones outside Minis Tirith) fields in the book has farms and small towns, but the movies just make them flat nothings.

Though true, the characters don't I retract with said farmers, who have mostly evacuated at this point.
Amazon maybe not, but their contractors? If in doubt they'll just use undocumented people like farms do all the time. They got caught multiple times doing that in Germany and Austria, no reason to believe the situation in the US with massively more pervasive labor exploitation would be different.

It's funny, Amazon always says "we expect that our partners comply with laws and regulations", and yet they absolutely have to know that their "partners" have to skirt the law to survive on their extremely low package rates. Hell, they probably have enough data from the delivery smartphones to be able to easily detect labor law violations (overtime beyond 10h, no / not enough long breaks).

More than the ecosystem, it’s the speed and flexibility in prototyping python offers. I do not see rust becoming a replacement for that.

The uncomfortable fact is that you really don’t need thread safety or static typing to prototype and build models effectively.

Nope, I'm in Texas and not Arizona. We've already got two wafer plants here. The largest projects are expansions on those, so these companies are pretty familiar with the available workforce at this point.
A lot of science/engineering/ML/data analysis happens from hacking around with only a vague idea of what to expect. Appeasing a type checker simultaneously is an enormous blow to productivity. Obviously possible, but challenging to get into a flow state when you cannot quickly iterate on ideas.

And now we're back to cultural norms and expectations, and there's no point in arguing about something so very subjective.

not sure if it applies but depending on instance type I usually see pings in the .55ms range in a single AZ in AWS, cross-AZ pings higher (implying it is hard to be sub ms for many types of durable applications, especially if disk/S3 is involved)
I'm saying that, in your reply to _vertigo, you are thinking (or at least replying as if you think) that _vertigo wants to break the "accepting the highest price offered" behavior of sellers. I don't think that's _vertigo's point at all. I think the point is to change the "I can offer more because it's going to go up in value after I buy" psychology of buyers. That will change the offered prices, of which sellers will still accept the best.

> Investment driven demand appears to result from the already raising prices.

This is more on point... and it's also almost the definition of a bubble (people buying as an investment because the price is going up, and the money coming in raising prices further). I don't know any way to fix it except to increase supply enough to soak up all the money coming in, plus a bit. But, worse, I don't know any way to fix it that won't damage people who bought it as an investment.

I guess the only thing I can see is to build more, but not absolutely flood the market, so that the price goes down (or at least stops going up) but doesn't absolutely crater.

> Where hardware sniffers come in handy is if you’re a firmware developer who is diagnosing a problem with a USB device or host you’re creating, or maybe you’re a driver developer working on a driver for a USB host controller. You need to see exactly what’s happening on the USB data wires to make sure that every packet looks correct. Perhaps you suspect your device’s firmware has a bug where the DATA0/1 toggle isn’t behaving as it should.

You can make use of protocol decoders already built into Wireshark for interpreting USB packets, as well as its fancy filtering capability.

Man I got so many down votes last week for pointing out that like 6 attempts have failed to replicate this miracle thing that a fraudulent paper describes that’s supposedly existed for 24 years now. My point was simply that regardless of whether some combination of the elements described actually exists with roughly the properties described, we don’t know how to make it and neither do the people who published the paper. It should be more clear than ever, now, that there are significant gaps in our understanding of whatever LK-99 is.
