Aurelia 2 has been in alpha for years and is now only in beta.

My point wasn't only that these issues exist. If a framework has this many issues that go unfixed for years, while the user-base dwindles, maybe you shouldn't trust the developers.

In addition, I believe that not only the implementation, but the fundamental design that is flawed. There's a reason why UI development has moved away from the OOP/Mutation/MVVM approach. The problems that hooks were intended to solve are real, and every big Framework since React has provided approaches to solve them... except Aurelia.
They don't talk about quality. Ultimately it's extremely hard to create a quality show or movie. 90%+ of what these services produce is not worth watching. It's ok but do you really want to spend your time watching it? It's too hard to sort out the gems. Large quantities of stuff is not a plus in anyone's life.

Streaming has broken the movie business model. What used to be a regular night out experience or a looking forward experience has turned into a lonely one person commonly sad experience.
It has gotten better — still noticeably worse than zoom
When you choose to ride in a 55+mph two-lane highway in the country side when you've got logging and gravel trucks continually passing you, I don't know. Can we consider that a death wish, no matter what the law says on paper?

These aren't commuters as it is ~40 minutes by car to the mothership and they're most often found on the nice days during the weekend wearing spandex, sometimes even with numbers on their back.
Thank you for maintaining the deb!
Immigrants are a positive demand shock and make it more likely that you have a job.

No growth may be good for retirees. It's bad for workers though.
AWS has had a Terraform competitor for a long time; CloudFormation. I'm not sure how much they contribute to Terraform, some I think, but most of the AWS provider for Terraform to my knowledge is developed and owned by Hashicorp. If AWS just stopped contributing to Terraform development, I think it would have effectively zero difference.
In your experience where?

No research has been done about whether shadow moderation is good or bad for discourse. It was simply adopted by the entire internet because it's perceived as "easier." Indeed, for platforms and advertisers, it certainly is an easier way to control messaging. It fools good-faith users all the time. I've shared examples of that elsewhere in this thread.
Pretty much every expense system I've ever used was better than Concur. When the business is using SAP for everything else it doesn't really matter what minor stuff like that is best of breed though.
You should remove from your mind that there’s some meaningful correlation between income and stress.
This looks interesting and a nice weekend read but just skimming through, why is spring needed?
Your website is beautiful!
Thanks for sharing this detailed guide. Can you share an example of the type of resulting image you’ve generated using the above approach?

I’ve only just used Dall-E or SD with basic prompts, or sometimes using photoshop afterward. I’m curious what you’ve been able to come up with using your more complex pipeline.
Have you tried the trick where you put CSV into SQLite?

I do that. Many, maybe linked, CSVs. Load all into SQLIte, query, filter, sort, etc.

In the repos to process we have only scripts to load and filter. The SQLite things are short lived.

Also, memory only SQLite FTW!
> How embarrassing.

Or was it brilliant?
And sure enough, if I disable secure DNS and change the DNS server to my ISP's, it works.

Assholes.
A lot of detail on subindexing and everything else in Rama is coming next week when we release the docs.
> draw.io is not open source software. The complete source code required to build the app from scratch is not available. The Apache license allows you to deploy the project and make changes to the source code that is available on the site.

Cool project, but the headline is incorrect.
I want to see examples like "here's a prompt against a model and the same prompt against a quantized version of that model, see how they differ."

We suck at evaluating and comparing models imo. There are metrics and evaluation task, but it's still very subjective.

The closer we get to assessing human like performance, the tougher it is, because it becomes more subjective and less deterministic by the nature of the task. I don't know the answer, but I know that for the metrics we have it's not so easy to translate them into any idea about the kind of performance on some specific thing you might want to do with the model.
> 3) What is the root cause?

This really is an easy ( but not popular) answer. It's collective stupidity or more formally low IQ.

A quote come to mind: “If at age 20 you are not a Communist then you have no heart. If at age 30 you are not a Capitalist then you have no brains.”
The problem is that it's not consistent enough for a good demo. Not even two different models, but even two different fine tunes of the same base model may be wildly differently affected by quantization. It can range from making hardly a difference to complete garbage output.
I don't think you can just "fork it." Hashicorp already owns all that code because they make contributors sign it away to them.
> And we can't help it. It's baked in.

I often like to point out that our instinctive need to see narratives (or aversion to the inexplicable) is so strong that we construct stories even onto situations where we know (in other moments) that the story is wrong.

Gambling is a great example, and it's easy to see when people are flipping coins while insisting that recent past flips determine the next flip because of "a hot streak" or "the other one is overdue".
What's your point? The same can be said with regards to oral communication.

People who communicate in sign language do so in a very expressive way, a way that pure text cannot capture. You should go out of your way to experience this for yourself.
Didn't this happen a few weeks ago already?
We are truly in a time where there are plenty of (bad, unsubstantial) ideas out there, i reckon it takes a good instinct to be a good mathematician (or any other thing that does not rely on public opinion).
This is basically the exact model Australia did with their NBN which was a disaster. The idea was to nationalise the last mile networks and unify them into one wholesale ISP that retail providers could use. It also intended to upgrade the network rapidly to FTTH.

Problem was just as it was getting started there was a change of govt and the FTTH element was significantly reduced in scope to save costs.

So now you are left with the govt owning all the last mile infrastructure with basically no competition and an extremely slow plan to upgrade it. I believe FTTH upgrades are increasing in pace now, but it's hard for me to find stats on actual FTTH rollout there (they combine it with gigabit HFC which isn't the same imo).

This is really the downfall of many people who think the state should nationalise telecoms. Yes it may work well with a government that's really commited to it. But you also run the risk of an election with someone that doesnt consider it a priority suddenly you are in a real mess.
Reminds me of the old x026 program that simulates creating punch cards.
"The proprietary and for-profit nature of Zoom also has made it subject to multiple cases of algorithmic bias. The once esoteric seeming issues are now a stark reality."

As a huge fan of FOSS, I gotta say this is ridiculous to include here.
That they're complaining means the rules don't go far enough. If the rules went far enough they'd be changing behavior.
Yes, I agree - This remote-work push-pull will be continuous based on who has the leverage at any given time. I exited the industry many years back, but I would not want to be a remote-only worker in a high income country competing with the global talent pool.
It is possible to be overly cynical, this is not a huge industry pushing the same product again and again, it's a dude who wrote a book about Linnaeus
Thank you for the link to your project! I'll be playing around with it.
> It's clear that if you wanted a "carrot dagger" in your json, you'd need to define it beforehand:

No, only if you want to explicitly limit it to a set of options. You can have freeform fields, just like the jsonschema I provided. If you look at the example there's a character name which has a constrained length but is not limited to a set of options:

class Character(BaseModel):
name: constr(max_length=10)
age: int
armor: Armor
weapon: Weapon
strength: int

The name there can be anything you want. This tool is, unfortunately, outrageously slow so I put the json schema above with a few fixes into jsonformer and downloaded a small model and used it to convert the GPT4 description into valid json:

{
"backstory":"Born in the tranquil meadows of Veggie",
"weapons":[
{
"name":"Leek Lance",
"description":"A long, green and white lance made from a leek",
"weapon_type":"distance",
"range":100.0,
"damage":75.0
},
{
"name":"Carrot Dagger",
"description":"A short, pointed dagger. It's sharp",
"weapon_type":"close",
"range":10.0,
"damage":50.0
}
],
"name":"Sir Turnip Thistlebrook"
}

> Not arbitrary.

Well exactly. If you want to support arbitrary requests while constraining the output, tools like this are an easy approach and I'm not sure what else comes close. An interactive character design flow would have something like the above as the defined output and you could just keep asking for alterations as a human would ("make it more whimsical" or "not a king, something lower class") and have useful structured output

> See my casting-to-type analogy. The point I'm trying really hard to get across is that generating free-form text is all nice and cool, but if you want to give it structure, you need to have the entire structure defined before-hand, otherwise the text that can't be made to conform to it simply won't.

The structure, sure. But the content can be extremely varied.

Is there a word for the situation where incumbents produced by a system try to maintain that system even though it's shite for everyone else?

Politicians hate electoral reform.
>Still, we are looking at GPT3 level of performance on one server rack. That says something when less than a year ago, such AI was literally magic and only run on a massive datacenter.

I'm not sure what you mean by this. You've always been able to run GPT3 on a single server (your typical 8xA100).
Thank you very much!

And when is it useful to compute an embedding for each sentence of a document/paragraph then?
Yeah, that might work with a default keyboard layout but it doesn't work with a polytonic Greek layout. How would you type a lowercase alpha with an acute accent and a macron that way ?
How does it handle dates?
I loved the Dispossessed. I agree with the critique that her portrayal of anarchy is a bit utopian and glosses over what happens with unscrupulous actors. But, I appreciate that her point was about the problems that can exist even in the breast case scenario
Git based database? Sounds super interesting. Are you guys actively looking for something or is it a nice to have?
They've brought up 3 ways in which it can be abusive (trained on abusive materials, created for the intent to abuse, or continuing self abuse rather than seeking help), but argued those should be separate discussions vs my thinking which is that these are linked to determining if such material is abusive.

The article mentions numerous times that politicians are turning to defamation suits, but isn't it just rich people continuing to use the court process as a punishment?
What data did he take? Be precise and especial give attention to the leaps from “SBF is being prosecuted” to “SBF is being setup for assassination”. The only facts are what we already knew: he’s being prosecuted and that after repeatedly violating the terms of a legal agreement he’s getting the consequences he agreed to. That leaves the most likely explanation that the most anodyne explanation is true: an entitled rich man called the judge’s bluff and is learning that federal judges don’t appreciate that.

Everything else is a flight of fancy with no support other than people steeped in right-wing propaganda would really like them to be true. There’s no reason to believe he knows anything damaging to the DNC, that such hypothetical evidence could only come out from his testimony, that it would be worth murder to keep quiet, or that it would be easiest to kill him in prison. Someone dying in government custody would draw a lot of attention – he’s going to Club Fed with other white collar criminals, not the problem wing at a super max facility, and other embezzlers tend not to shank people since they do expect to get out early for good behavior.

If you were a screenwriter, the movie version would have our hypothetical government conspiracy keeping him out of jail so he could more easily be assassinated at home with evidence planted to make it look like someone who lost their fortune with FTX because his parent’s house is a much softer target and there are thousands of people with that motive and none of them are feds. Once you’re just making things up you can easily come up with a chain of make-believe supporting any side imaginable.
Carica papaya and Asimina triloba are not particularly closely related.
To expand upon this... the name is a problem.

"How can one make a _modern_ version of the CSV file format, let alone a second?"
Well, since they’re making me think about it…

What registrars does the hacker news community recommend?
The debate format is poor without moderation.
correct, but with useCallback you don't take an additional perf hit for redefining the inner function on every render.

useCallback is for callbacks, useMemo is for memoized data.

I actually had to read this whole thing twice because the first time I thought they genuinely wrote all that without even suggesting a single FOSS alternative to zoom. They don't actually suggest one so much as effervescently mention one (BigBlueButton) near the end without describing it at all or even indicating that, yes, this is the what they want people to drop Zoom for. No wonder there's no author listed, this is one of the worst attempts at effective communication and persuasion I've ever seen. You can't sit there and say Zoom sucks without telling us why the alternative is better, especially when 95% of peoples' experience in the matter is that Zoom is an order of magnitude better than everything else they've tried.

We in the FOSS community need to stop being worse than our stereotypes.
> Reading the parent post I think he would believe that revenge porn is abusive material, because there is a person who is getting abused with the distribution of the content, the person didn't consent the distribution

So would it be okay to distribute "revenge porn" imagery after the subject has died?
It's absolutely normal to announce first. Usually one expects the announcement before the "buy now" button instead of the other way around though. At least in the case of a pre-order announcement clicking the pre-order button doesn't give you false hope.
Nearly 40 years after Betamax, they've basically succeeded at banning video recording.

As noted elsewhere, section 1201 should not apply to non-infringing uses.
What’s weird is it sounds like this is really Revolut’s problem, or at least the cash is being withdrawn from Revolut accounts. Instant access to bank transfers, where i.e. a brokerage loans you money while ACH clears, is a pretty common feature in the USA, but it’s abused heavily by fraudsters and obvious things like ATM withdrawals aren’t allowed. Wonder why this broke down.
While I don't agree with the shady practice of charging hidden rental fees, I can really understand why they want to provide their own CPEs. That way they can control them a lot better via remote management and ensure they work well with the (very much shared) network.

Do people expect to be able to use their own ONTs on FTTH? Clearly not because it would cause a load of issues if you had one bad terminal on it taking the entire GPON segment down. So I don't really understand why providing your own cable modem is any different.
I worked at several startups that used a simple Kanban board - no standups, no ticket sizing, no sprints, no nothing - just a simple list of tasks and their status. All of them ended up adopting Scrum at some point, and all of them ended up less efficient, with developers wasting time with useless standup meetings, bikeshedding over ticket sizes, and wasting time breaking down a ticket into a dozen smaller tickets.

This never made sense to me. It was obviously an inferior system, so why did they want us to adopt it? Until I suddenly realized that the advantage of Scrum is not to make developers move faster, but to minimize distrust. Without Scrum you may have deveopers moving faster, but you may also have developers slacking and taking too long to complete simple tasks. With Scrum, management at least has the illusion that this cannot happen by forcing you to fulfill a preallocated amount of work every sprint.

Nowadays I see the rigidity of their Scrum process as a measurement of how much management trusts their developers, and how much they are willing to slow down their developers in order to trust that they are actually working.
Like most things, the government creates a problem then convinces everyone they aren't the reason.

I can't get broadband at my home despite being less than a mile from multiple providers in 3 different directions. I literally have an att fiber running down my row to a neighborhood less than a mile a way.

After being pissed at att for several years I finally looked into it and realized the county won't approve att putting in the service for anything but developer projects. Basically crony capitalism...
> Wouldn't it be funny if browsers started rendering markdown and we got to re-create the original simplicity (and ambiguity) of the web this way.

We can start with browser plugins for rendering markdown.
100% agreed. Speed limits in their current state are infuriating. They are there, so you're _supposed_ to follow them, but nobody does, not even off-duty police, until someone is patrolling, at which point everyone drives ten under the limit at the checkpoint, only to go 15-30 over seconds later.

Of course, if YOU try following the limits, even on the rightmost lane, lots of drivers will drive aggressively around you as if you're the one in the wrong!
Sounds like it applies to Cloud Domains as well (with the existing UI being preserved but essentially becoming a frontend to Squarespace).

Subcontracting one of your core cloud services to a visual website building company, lol. You’d have to be crazy to trust GCP over AWS for any serious project after this.

I tried slight modifications from the example pydantic model and it's incredibly slow. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I've a hefty box and a 3090, an example using gpt-2 doesn't seem like it should be that taxing.

Somehow T-Mobile figured that out. And charge me a nice round numbers that include all their fees and taxes. They are also able to advertise their prices nationwide.

Forgive me if I’m misunderstanding things, but this seems quite similar to what Materialize and ReadySet do, but like “as a library”, because Rama doesn’t use a “separate” layer for the storage stuff. Is that correct-ish?

From our lifetime-impact characterization on 8 state-of-the-art SSDs, we observe that the 3D TLC/QLC SSDs can be worn-out by low read-only workloads within their warranty period since a huge amount of read disturbance-induced rewrites are performed in the background.

VRAM is not latency optimized. VRAM has worse latency than your CPU RAM. The reason why it's mounted closer is because of signal integrity because of higher frequencies, not because of latency.

> For instance, using the features of the language to describe a nested structure of components, each of which has different dependencies that are a subset of its parents dependencies

I may be misunderstanding you, but this seems tractable with React.memo. Merely encode the dependency or lack thereof in the propsAreEqual predicate.
Yep.

There needs to be a REALLY FUCKING STRONG effort to kill all CP AI anything. Full stop.

AI should automagically report any attempt at CP.
Thanks! I actually tried it a while ago but completely forgot about it.

The touch radius can be expanded and adjusted but the behavior really comes down to "should it let the user set a caret at any text position", and fuzzing the touch radius will still let the user hit a plain text target and select it, where Chrome (and mobile firefox, coms to think of it) won't let you.

For instance on HN's comment link bar ("WorldMaker 5 hours ago | parent | context | flag | on: Firefox finally outperforming Google Chrome in S...") I can set a text selection carret on the "|" between "parent" and "context" in firefox with a touch radius of 32 mm, largely touching both "parent" and "context" links.

I am actually getting motivated into looking deeper into this and see what they did to have the mobile version work differently.
Oops, thoughtless basic error in posting something quickly. Good note.
There's a lot more reasons to run Vault than those.

Having a standardized way to "do secrets" for any team, any service, any app within the organization is very nice. Becoming cloud-agnostic for your secrets (connecting your local Vault with the cloud provider's vault) is another great benefit. Automatic secret rotation is also another great benefit. Secret versioning and auditing... etc.

It's not just "can't have this secret in VCS or viewable via kubectl".
