Indeed, that case is frequently taken for granted and overlooked.

However there is another scenario that is considered even less, when the sound signal is going back to the same brain for reprocessing.

Unfortunately, once scientists become politicians, they open themselves up to that.
Off wikipedia: "Arp never wavered from his stand against the Big Bang, and until shortly before his death in 2013, he continued to publish articles[14][15] stating his contrary view in both popular and scientific literature, frequently collaborating with Geoffrey Burbidge (until Burbidge's death in 2010) and Margaret Burbidge.[16] He explained his reasons for believing that the Big Bang theory is wrong, citing his research into quasars or quasi-stellar objects (QSOs). Instead, Arp supported the redshift quantization theory as an explanation of the redshifts of galaxies.[17]"
Absolutely. Zod is to the runtime what TypeScript is to the IDE.
Here's my attempt at an explanation without jargon, you can just read the last paragraph, the first 4 are just context.

These image models are trained on 1000 steps of noise, where at 0 no noise is added to the training image and at 1000 the image is pure noise. The model's goal it to denoise the image, and it does this knowing how much noise the image has, this makes the model learn how much it should change the image, for example at high noise it changes a lot of pixels and starts building the overall "structure" of the image, and a low noise it changes less pixels and focuses on adding details.

To use the model you start with pure noise, then the model iteratively denoises that noise until a clean image shows up. A naive approach would take 1000 steps, this means you run the model 1000 times, each time feeding the previous result and telling the model that the noise decreased by 1 until it reaches 0 noise. This takes a long time, up to 15 minutes to generate an image on a mid-range consumer GPU.

Turns out when you give the model pure noise and tell it there's 1000 steps of noise, the result is not an image that has 999 steps of noise, but an image that looks like it has much less, this means that you can probably skip 50-100 steps of denoising per iteration and still get a very good picture, the issue is: what steps to pick? You could again take a naive approach and just skip every 50 steps for a total of 20 steps, but turns out there's better ways.

This is where samplers come in, essentially a sampler takes the number of steps you want to take to denoise an image (usually ~20 steps) and it will--among other things--pick which steps to choose each iteration. The most popular samplers are the samplers in the k-diffusion repo[1] or k-samplers for short. Do note that samplers do much more than just pick the steps, they are actually responsible for doing the denoising process itself, some of them even add a small noise after a denoising step among other things.

The newest open source model, SDXL, is actually 2 models. A base model that can generate images as normal, and a refiner model that is specialized on adding details to images. A typical workflow is to ask the base model for 25 steps of denoise, but only run the first 20, then use the refiner model to do the rest. According to the OP, this was being done without keeping the state of the sampler, that is they were running 2 samplers separately, one for the base model and then start one over for the refiner model. Since the samplers use historical data for optimization, the end result was not ideal.

Just a thing I noticed since I don't know Scott Adams etc. — surely being a slave couldn't be considered a success‽

I'm sure I'm missing the meaning here somehow but to me it's quite obvious we may imitate something successful and not imitate something unsuccessful.
Thatcher?
You're correct. It doesn't work. A lot of ails are necessarily inherent in scaling up. Once you get to 80ish, you just necessarily have to change your setup
I saw that a while back, but it seems like a large learning curve and I don't immediately feel much drawing me towards it. Will be keeping an eye on it anyhow.
"in or affecting interstate or foreign commerce" was intentionally chosen, to ensure that the law falls under an allowed power of congress but also is exceptionally broad in applicability due to previous supreme court decisions.

E.g. Wickard v. Filburn, held that a farmer harvesting a small quantity of his own wheat and eating it affected interstate commerce, because the farmer did not consume other wheat available in interstate commerce.

Just about anything commercial affects interstate commerce by this definition.
> Given Tailscale's featureset as a product, it's not reasonable to expect it's self-hosted alternative to be a pushbutton replacement.

Yeah, exactly. That’s why I started this thread by disagreeing with the tailscale employee who said “we don’t need to open source tailscale because headscale already exists.”

Headscale and tailscale are not the same. I want to use tailscale, and I would love it if tailscale was open source! If truly the only reason they’re not open sourcing tailscale is that headscale exists, they’re kind of missing that existing tailscale customers will not all see headscale as a replacement but might still prefer open source.
It's reasonable to assume they knew or suspected what we know about kids and too much screen time
Science is fundamentally about convincing other scientists that you are doing good science. The scientific method is just a garbage in, garbage out process. If you don't get other people to challenge you, you can't tell the difference between doing science and fooling yourself. No matter how much you try to question your judgment, you are always the easiest person in the world to fool.
We're on HN! People might find it more interesting to find out it's not just over 1000, but 1024 exactly. And I'll leave it for curious minds to think on it why that becomes obvious when seeing the problem from the right perspective.
I think the meaning and implications of the ostensibly shared principle to which you appeal are not quite as universal as you suggest, but leaving that aside for the moment (unless you choose to press this point), as codified in US law it does not entitle libraries to receive funding from local governments.

I agree that libraries should have the right by law to lend any book they please, and in fact they do have that right. But they aren't entitled to public funding; on the contrary, such an entitlement would strip the community of their right to democratically determine where their tax dollars are allocated. The simple fact of the matter is that nobody's legal rights are actually being violated when a local government votes to discontinue their funding of a local library because they don't like books. They aren't banning the possession, sale or distribution of these books, they're only taking away public funding for it, doing so with normal legal democratic means. If this is something you feel strongly about, you and others can organize to provide private funding for these libraries, and then there would be nothing locals could legally do to stop it. They could try passing laws banning the possession, distribution, etc of these books, but such a law would not stand up to legal scrutiny. The principle to which you appeal guarantees you the right to lend any book you like, but it doesn't entitle you to receive public money for it, against the wishes of the community from which that money is to come.
What's your go to Nix/NixOS pitch?
its true. I don't have a good answer. but trying to create policy based on which uniformed faction shouts the loudest is clearly a crap strategy.

Current title of this post: "Paper investigating police chief prior to the raids on his office and home."

But it was the newspaper owner, not the police chief, who was raided.

Actual article title and subtitle: "A conversation with the newspaper owner raided by cops / Eric Meyer says his paper had been investigating the police chief prior to the raids on his office and home."
Would you like this for all assets, basically banning inheritance. Govt will seize all property, savings, stocks etc on a person's death.
> ... any work product materials possessed by a person reasonably believed to have a purpose to disseminate to the public a newspaper, book, broadcast, or other similar form of public communication, in or affecting interstate or foreign commerce...

The law we're all talking about prohibits a government employee from searching or seizing any product materials intended for use in production of communication materials that affect interstate commerce.

This is a good point. There is literally no difference between a grad student and a stray cat. In both cases if you feed them you’re responsible for them until they die.
There's some nuance here. Research dollars get allocated in interesting ways that often reinforce the most mainstream approaches.

And once some start down an approach (and become invested in it) there can be various kinds of resistance to going a different path.

In fields that have social or political implications there are also strong forces pushing, as well.

I'm not saying these effects are always overriding the desire for novelty in all cases, but it certainly happens.

Unfortunately, the HN crowd has an incredibly naive view of what journalism is. I think it's mainly a product of ignorance, typically conflating op-eds with the journalism, and false-equivalencies that lump the Washington Post into the same bucket as Fox News, and People's Daily.

I'm always surprised the degree to which this kind of anti-journalism rhetoric ignores the role of journalism holding powerful governments and corporations accountable.
So there is the real answer to my previous suspicions about the Guardian's true source of funding (donations do not cut it.):

> "...unless someone is funding them grants or what not, since they are still not telling us something or giving an exact figure." [0]

This was obvious from the start but of course everyone knew that in [0] but had to dodge with mostly unsubstantiated claims and figures and none gave an exact figure or a direct link as shown in the article.

> I thought GCC (or C itself) has good backward compatibility, but it's not sufficient.

Ha! It's been a long time since GCC was even able to compile older versions of _itself_.
Fair, it’s not literally useless, it does help with typos and autocomplete. But you can get so much more with just 10% extra care in how you design your interfaces that the lazy approach feels almost useless by comparison.

It’s similar to the problems you run into by writing the wrong kind of tests – the ones that essentially just duplicate your code instead of validating input/output at boundaries.

Love the summary, don’t agree org entropy is inevitable and also don’t agree that equity is a silver bullet. Many times the cure is worse than the disease, it creates a whole bunch of behavioral anti-patterns e.g. people sticking around too long, politics and grandstanding in order to win more equity.
In my experience profit-share provides same positive incentives without the downsides.
I personally don't have a problem with the current 30 minute charge. If you drive you should stop for 20 to 30 minutes every couple of hours.

What we need is sufficient infrastructure for ev charging.
Regardless of the political and economic issues, the CCP leadership is well aware that they still lack the amphibious lift capacity to invade Taiwan's main island. It will take a few more years at least to build that capacity. In the mean time if they choose to make a push it will likely be toward some of the smaller islands closer to the mainland.

Julia, as answered on the sybling comment.

Clojure has a subset, and I guess Racket is quite flexible with its language modeling framework.

Going on an edge, C++ is also quite flexible when one looks beyond of plain classes, and combines them alongside type parameters in templates, and compile time reflexion via template metaprogramming and concepts (although it is quite clunky).
Have you heard of "defensive SAR filings" by financial institutions? That's what is happening here. Banks are overly defensive: they would rather err by implementing onerous policies than getting fined hundreds of millions of dollars five years later.

Regulators are NOT providing any feedback whatsoever to already filed SAR filings, nor are they clarifying their AML policies.

No idea yet. Which you recommend to start?

Vscode live share beats the snot out of traditional pair programming. I can view where my colleagues are on the side while looking up something else, and vice versa. If a colleague is writing a function or something and needs to know how some system works, I can go and look it up while they're working, and not break their flow. Traditional pair programming, with a single terminal, makes this impossible
Love the part where a bunch of people subscribed to their news service to show support...including apparently a famous movie producer and screenwriter.

Yikes for the chief...he stepped right on top of a cherished American value. That's instant-villain territory.

I'm sure even a talented screenwriter wouldn't complain when huge chunks of a story offer to write themselves...
Since TinySeed was mentioned, felt like adding that its creator has a new book out called The SaaS Playbook: https://saasplaybook.com/
It compiles AOT to native code and supports tree shaking. It also has JIT mode with hot reloading/restarting. It has sound null safety and is statically typed.

It's not a bad language. It just lacks some needed features. They'll probably get implemented over a span of a few years.

Ecosystem is small, but at least there's FFI interop.

It also has some baggage from it's early days when it was meant as JavaScript replacement. Since we now have WASM (and soon WASM-GC) I think it would be best, if compilation to JS would be dropped, so more low level features can be implemented.
"to which the materials relate" still is a problem if you seize everything that a newspaper has in response to one bit of reporting that you think might have violated a law.

This makes it hard for me to see this as anything other than a retaliatory overreach, especially given the context of the paper's track record of critical reporting on local government and law enforcement.

It's also worth noting that the article mentions a lawful source for the information in question (a tip from Newell's husband).
> very few people want to do it, and the reason for the exorbitant salaries is because people are paid to basically bang their heads against walls all day in frustration

This does not explain why packages in London's IT sector are much smaller than those in the US. It seems supply and demand still plays a critical role in engineering pay. In addition, EE is much harder to learn and requires rare talent to master, yet the engineerings in EE have been seeing decreasing pays for years.
The article even reaches the conclusion that granting more ownership to employees might be a solution. What an idea! You could make a new mode of production out of this.
I’d love to see stats on what % of search warrants are NOT signed off by a judge (I’d bet hardly any), and how many search warrants later found to be inaccurate, end up with disciplinary action towards the police (I’d bet almost none).

The 4th amendment isn’t worth anything if judges will sign off on everything that crosses their desk.
I have an unwritten dying wish to grant all my writing to the public domain when I pass away, but still need to figure out where to cram that in the will and need to set it up with someone to update the licenses and copyright notices for me.

I sucked back then too at front end development :).

I knew enough to copy/paste/pattern match an existing page and make the necessary change. But you start me with a blank slate and give me a mock-up, I would end up using tables and frames like it’s 1999.
If the way you use social networks is to view the live feed of all posts by all users and pick out the ones most offensive to you, I am afraid you are going to have a bad time.

A better way is to ignore the live feed (or suggested/recommended/featured/etc) and only follow the users you are interested in. I am not on pawoo.net, but it has a lot of artists that I would like to follow and couldn't follow them from mastodon.social.
> I’d also note that not everyone wants to work in a startup environment or are able to. Many engineers got into it for a good paycheck and don’t have much interest in anything particularly dynamic or engaging.

This is an excellent point. In my experience a majority of people value stability and predictability in their lives. They would rather have someone tell them what to do within well-structured bounds than contend with the ambiguity inherent in an early stage startup, or with solving massive product/business/technical problems with too many stakeholders to fit in a room.

I think the challenge is the people with the intrinsic motivation and stomach for the ambiguity can struggle to grow in large corporate environments that are full of good soldiers who stay in their lane. It's not uncommon for entry level ICs to come in with 3 or 4 layers of management between them and VP level, and then become pawns in middle management games, or stuck reporting to Peter-principle cases who teach them all the wrong lessons.

This is why I was really glad to have worked in startups when I was young, to really get exposed to all the moving parts and fundamentals of an operating business. It's just much easier to learn when the big picture is more legible, you have the latitude to iterate faster, make more mistakes, and see first-hand how things scale (or don't!) from the ground up. These days I see too many ivy league grad ex-FAANG who have all kinds of ideas of best practices with no understanding of why things are done that way at the tech giants, and extremely limited ability to reason from first principles about what makes sense in a different context.
Wise and Revolut do not accept checks/cash. As a consequence, one has to have a local bank that accepts checks. Banks also flag accounts and close them later, when they find out that owners live abroad. So, one has to use some sophisticated VPNs to access banks.
>don’t buy it. As software developers we learn technologies for breakfast.

This is such a funny mantra. Okay learn how nuclear fission works. Or EUV lithography. Or power transmission across superconductors. All of these are extant, commercial, technologies (yes even the last one). Too much? How about something more pedestrian like overhead cams and electric fuel injection? Too far afield? Okay learn how DMA works on a GPU - not how to call `copy(host, device)` but what actually happens and more importantly why.

The truth is software developers learn APIs, not technologies (and not over breakfast either). Point being, it's not good to be haughty because if tomorrow you were out of a job and the only place hiring was the Ford motor plant I think you'd be just as fucked as the author of the post.
That's so refreshingly naive a view that I'd almost upvote you for it. Unfortunately it's not how the world works and is overall damaging since it lays the foundation to believing all those ads on youtube in which some guru promises to tell you their secret to success if you only sign up ("for free") on their website to watch their video ("for free"). Next thing you know is your aunt lost most of her savings to paying for seminars in which she was promised to learn how to get successful, but it is all a scam and made her poor.
Fedora has been really doing an incredible job at creating a great distro for everyday use.

Following up because I want to help - if you don't want to invest in a business, but want to develop one, why not just pick an idea from a top 100 list? https://www.intelegain.com/app-ideas-for-startups-to-launch-...

Alternatively, find a product in market that is pretty expensive and offer a budget version of it. NewRelic -> DataDog for server monitoring is one example.

It sounds like you have some skills and feel willing to take a risk with your time. You don't want to risk any capital. Just jump in to one idea and run with it - you'll never know if an idea has legs if you don't try it.

That said, your unwillingness to put even 1% of your net worth into a project that you control does send a clear signal to other people that you don't believe in yourself. That may be inaccurate - it sounds like you believe that it is - but you don't get to dictate how something comes across to other people. Not putting your own money into a venture will give others pause, if you ever look for co-investors or cofounders (or even customers, if they should learn of it).
It’s not the whole point. Making async calls, handling errors as usual and subscribing on channels has better ergonomics (DX) than bare requests, http streams or websockets.
Are state actors subject to different economics? Their budgets are finite, too. Why opt for a complex less reliable exploit if a simple more reliable one is available?
Not at all but if you have an api in js and you want to do any sort of machine learning, ai, forecasting well all the best tools are in python.

What is to be done if you find yourself in the first situation (too-technical leader)? I found myself there before a few times...reporting to someone who was no doubt a brilliant IC but has no concept of things like communicating vision or even basic project management.
