What could be done better if it could break the ABI?
That's actually a great idea and would be much more engaging than a flat image. Cheers :)
Quite the contrary, I think such comments are sorely needed in AI and its intersection with robotics. If we have a problem in Deep Learning today it’s that we’re over sharing. There are a ridiculous number of papers, and none of them add any value whatsoever to the literature. We’ve gone past the stage where people are sharing small incremental results and clogging the space, now they’re actively covering up their lack of new results with nice presentation, acronyms, buzzwords and making a paper out of it. We really need to be discouraging every run of the mill result from being published as a paper, and holding high standards for them (like say Boston Dynamics Tier) doesn’t seem like a bad idea!
First you just extract all of the text from the PDFs. It's helpful to use arxiv instead, since it gives you latex. Then you can parse to separate content from style. Then store that in a a DuckDB database, with zstd compression since it's great on text.
Then, just use some encoder model (decoder models are all the rage but they're not necessary here) to process all of these texts into Qdrant.

Then use your Qdrant database happily ever after, with whatever you like, such as Vicuna or Guanaco 30b GPTQ. Sprinkle your langcgain or whatever you like. Galpaca 30b may be appropriate for science text.

One molecule will irreparably damage you?
Elicit is very useful! It can't sometimes answer some very specific and complex questions, but it also doesn't tend to hallucinate anywhere as much as chatgpt. Rather it will be quite upfront about when it can't really find an answer to something.
The GP wrote about replacing plastics because they are ubiquitous in our daily life. They are everywhere in manufacturing and transportation, and technology/electronics. So indeed we have survived for a long term as humankind. Most of that time we were simple hunter/gatherers.

Do you want to go back to that age? Can you imagine the popularity of going back to such austerity?

If not, we probably need a replacement.
I would not use those for production.

I would assume your backend model is already tested on these.

You would need a novel data set.
Mine are off more often than not these days, but that's because of the nature of videos I watch. I do have definite use cases where I want them on, and enjoy having them available in many, many cases.

When I had a TV (not anymore) I had CC defaulted to on at all times. Generally it was a much bigger help than a nuisance (CC can be annoying as it blocks and distracts). My parents keep 'em on a lot now. My father's become hard of hearing. We're inveterate watchers of British TV via PBS, and so there are definitely a lot of shows where people have a thick accent, and experienced as we are, we just can't catch it all, especially due to production style and ambient noise issues, so it's really helpful to have CC interpreting it for us.

I also enjoy cross-language CCs, for instance a few months ago I was watching a Ukrainian comedy show (because Miss Universe Ukraine starred in it) and it was tons of fun to swap around with English and Ukrainian subtitles, as I learn at least to read and write Cyrillic, if not pick up a little vocabulary. This is a great way to learn a language, and I challenge anyone learning French, Spanish, Italian or whatever, to pick up some videos that can be cross-subtitled and watch them that way. Usually you'll get some great professional idiomatic translations and occasionally some real cringe stuff too!
I use an RPi3 with 7 inch touchscreen to listen to webradio all the time. Just the other day I was curious, and measured its power consumption. My laptop with Ryzen 4700u with turned off screen uses less amount of power than the Rpi with screen on (~6W for laptop vs ~7.5W for RPi). I'm really thinking about ditching my RPi's as a radio and even as pihole, as my laptop can do much more while still using close to 0% CPU.

Sure, the screen on/off comparison makes this measurement a bit unfair, but calling x86/x64 energy inefficient doesn't sound particularly correct.

This is great feedback for us. We'll make it more transparent. We charge whatever the underlying provider charges + 5% when you deploy into one of our accounts. All provider prices are displayed on our main platform page.
What's the practical difference? With USB-C there's power delivery. DisplayPort has..?
The phrase "are actively using drugs" does not appear in your parent comment.

I agree there is a difference between those 2 statements. But you never made the quoted statement.
Here in Finland we don’t have bicycle corps but pretty much everyone is thought to ride a bike in the army and does a bicycle march or two with gear etc.

Idea isn’t to use bikes for battle or anything like that. Instead they are meant for increased mobility if/when fuel starts to run low during a conflict.

Most are also thought to ski partly for the same reason but skiing is also pretty much the only way to move in deep snow efficiently without machines (walking/running is way too slow/hard when you sink into the snow)

Trad burning in Australia has largely been to cool burn undergrowth in the forest areas (relatively small land area) and to patch burn open grass lands (majority of area)

I read most of that proposal and I really like it! I hope they get it into the next standard.

In a way, it’s kind of a very narrow form of dependent types. It solves this one issue very cleanly.
> environmentalism took over and plunged civilisation into another dark age

This is such an over-the-top strawman, it doesn't even warrant a serious response.
> Blending and juicing are different things. Juicers typically remove the fiber which is then discarded as a waste product.

Yeah, I get that. And makes sense. But I keep seeing (even in this thread) that blending is almost/just as bad.

> It's very possible that blending is still worse than eating whole though because the juice is now immediately available in the gut without the whole food needing to be slowly broken down even if you also still consume the fiber. Rate of absorption makes a huge difference in nutrition. Obviously the real secret is chewing as little as possible and instead swallowing large chunks.

In theory, but is there anything to back this up? Because it seems like there isn’t much in the way of science or studies. But yet I see plenty of claims of it.

Talk with an LLM to guess the secret word it's thinking.
Because of various cultural issues I think men have been far less likely to moisturize their faces or really do "skincare" in general relative to women. I do think it has been changing over the last few decades.

Maybe I'm wrong, but that is my overwhelming impression.
Can't recall, though from what I recall it wasn't that out there.

What I do recall was that the main point was that these monuments were linked to something astrological, be it stars, equinoxes or similar, "that the same time" some 12k years ago.

That's why I thought of it in this context. If it were true, and the timing lining up with these big animals going away, did something big happen 12k years ago?

Of course, not taking some random guy on Discovery's word for it. But fun coincidence to think about.
Rancher price increases over the last few years have made it prohibitive for a good number of our customers. Personally, I don't think SUSE has done much to evolve the lifecycle side of Rancher - I want a platform that updates my node operating systems when I upgrade Kubernetes (this has been in OpenShift for years and is in Tanzu). Rancher OS was silently killed off, forcing us to rebase certain customer environments, at the time RKE and Micro OS didn’t play well together, that seems to have changed somewhat but the lifecycle side is still seemingly immature. Harvester looks interesting but we haven’t found many uses-cases for hyperconverged Kube (or perhaps more accurately, appetite within enterprises). Neuvector though is pretty damn awesome. I wonder how this plays out against the Red Hat foot gun, and if it’ll allow SUSE to aggressively go out to displace RHEL (My feeling is most of the high paying enterprise customers don’t really care about what Red Hat has done).
> If I have my own PDFs, I guess I could get ChatGPT to create summaries in some structured way, perhaps in a single file with citation:summary, and then send up that file with every question I ask?

Extract the text, put it into a database (a vectordb would be the hot thing for with an LLM, is probably ideal, but ChatGPT does a pretty good job using Wikipedia as a “database” with a dirt simple ReAct pattern implementation, so you probably don’t need to be that fancy to get value out of it) and then use tooling to let ChatGPT use that database for questions.
Science doesn't say to treat them like children.
Every plane I've been on in the last decade already sorts people by "boarding groups" which are relatively fine-grained. They won't let you onto the boarding ramp unless you're in the correct group, which they check by scanning your boarding pass. All they would have to do is make those boarding groups be based on your seating position instead of how much extra money you paid.
I think the TFA is the interesting bit.

> SUSE has committed to declare and pay an interim dividend to all shareholders [...] will be funded by SUSE through a combination of existing cash and additional borrowing [...] in the form of loans [...] to a maximum of EUR 500 million.

So EQT is asking SUSE to take its cash, borrow up to 500M EUR, pay a dividend (of which 79% goes to the PE fund). Then EQT will use (some of? All of?) that money to buy more shares. It doesn't sound like EQT is investing any new money into SUSE here.

Sounds like EQT will do well regardless of whether SUSE ends up going private. SUSE meanwhile will get another (up to) 500M of debt and lose a chunk of its cash from its balance sheet.

Hmmm... (opinions my own)
Nice, creates corporation in tax havens to maximize tax dodging, files for bankruptcy in country that can actually put disgruntled debt owners to task. Good ol' capitalism.
> the great benefit of the y-combinator is that it permits indefinite iteration in a system that seems at first glance to not support iteration at all

This is only the case for untyped systems. If we try to type the Y combinator, we will eventually need some notion of recursion. For example, in Haskell/OCaml we can type it with iso/equi-recursive types. How many truly untyped systems we use in practice?

The Y combinator as a counterexample of termination is a great insight though!
Operating my own consulting practice, working on a startup, working with non-profits, and getting to pick and choose what I work on.

I've been in the industry since the late 1980s, and I will say that things have only gotten better with respect to opportunity as time has passed, and everything going on today is just more signal that things are, at least in the short term, continuing to get better.

Regarding avenues for growth, it's the same story that repeats throughout history: automation. Just as the agricultural revolution and industrial revolutions supported the growth of population through increased output, the technological revolution is having the same impact over the last 20 years.

Despite the radical impact that recent, where "recent" is the past 10-20 years, technological advancement has had on life as we know it, it's my opinion that we are actually only just scratching the surface of the impact that it will have on humanity, likely over the next 100-200 years.

It's going to take a lot of people with a lot of novel ideas to take us through that revolution. And, each step will introduce changes that will free up people to pursue what comes next, to continue to build on top of the advancements that came before.

If that doesn't excite you and make you want to be part of that, then yeah, you probably should find a different career.

With our aging population that's only living longer and longer, there's already a dire shortage of healthcare professionals: perhaps you'd be better suited to pursuing that, instead?

This isnt a hard drive. It worked because cold causes components to shrink and pulled BGA ram chip closer to the board. Cold spray is standard practice when diagnosing electronics defects.
It's called stiction. On old stepper-motor-based drives this would commonly happen if the heads weren't parked before powering off. I don't recommend directly manipulating the actuator as you can literally shear the heads off the actuator arm with too much force, but a bit of oblique shock to the side of the drive will usually unstick them with less risk of damage.
> Additionally, there are folks using SpiceDB today by replicating denormalized checks back into their database (e.g. Postgres) or search index (e.g. Elastic) so that you can filter them natively. This is the combination of the aforementioned Lookup APIs with our Watch API. While this strategy requires moving parts, it is necessary beyond a particular scale which is well beyond the point at which policy engines typically fall over.

Would you say that because of this, Zanzibar engines like spicedb only become useful on systems of a certain size / complexity? Fundamentally you run into data synchronization issues whether you are syncing denormalized data back to your db via Watch or whether you write the relationships to both data stores in the first place. This article[0] on the latter topic touches on this, but brushes over some tricker parts of implementing such a thing correctly (eg. 2 writes section only covers insert not update or delete which is generally less harmful to have a ghost update that persists in spicedb, streaming updates brushes over some major footguns).

Granted there's nothing unique to spicedb in this sort of complexity, but by nature of being a db, using spicedb mandates that users must take on the complexity.

Is it then fair to say that it is appropriate to use spicedb once a project reaches a certain size / complexity, or would you expect a startup to adopt it from the beginning?

Hey vermaden, great article! I saw you had some problems with virt-manager, and I did too! There is a solution your problem:

> I was able to start FreeBSD 13.2 installation … but it got frozen at the kernel messages and nothing more happened.

If you notice at the bootloader screen, it says something like "5. Cons: Dual (Serial primary)"

Pressing the 5 key at the bootloader screen will toggle the output from "Serial primary" to "Video primary" or something to that effect. Once you toggle this setting, it should fix the output hanging and you should get a login prompt.

The other way to fix this problem, is through the virt-manager menu, you can simply switch the view from Graphical Console, to the Serial Console. Under View -> Consoles -> Serial 1

Hope this helps make your experience a little better under virt-manager.
Read it carefully, they have the right but not the obligation to buy the remaining stake so this is not applicable at all.
Probably due to cheapening out a few dollars on the BOM, not a great sign to be honest.
They’re deliberately being a petty asshole about it (that part isn’t good) but the end result is actually probably better for your brain so I’m fine with the pettiness.

The DE itself, yes. This is true of GNOME as well once the hidden setting is enabled. Unfortunately there's still individual programs which don't behave correctly, which for now means that 1x or 2x displays are still best if a trouble-free, low-tinkering experience is the goal.
USB-C is the connector / cable, DisplayPort is one protocol that can run within such a cable. HDMI (a proprietary licensed protocol) can also. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DisplayPort#Comparison_with_HD...
There are new snapshots at least once a week. While there are large updates every once in a while, those are usually due to gcc or glibc upgrades which require a rebuild of most packages -- which doesn't happen every month. If you actually have upgrades of every single package every month, you should open a bug report to figure out what is going on -- that is absolutely not normal. On my machine I usually see 10-30 packages per update, with some updates hitting ~100 packages -- anything more than that is quite rare. Large rebuilds should be uncommon, though some packages might do them more than others.

There are quite a few things I've grown to dislike about Tumbleweed after using it for the past 7-8 years, but the upgrade experience is not one of them.
The problem with ELD's is the lack of flexibility.

So I'm a former driver and I have a good example of this, with paper logs, I could fudge, I might log that I shut down at X time in Y place, when I actually shut down 20-30 miles further down the road - where I could get safe parking in a rest area - instead of on the side of the highway. I'd still take my 10 hour break from the time that I stopped, and mark my logs up as if I started a half an hour before I did. Was this illegal? yes, absolutely. Was it unsafe? no, I'd argue the opposite.

Thats the rub, the ELD system is meant to eliminate the bad actors, but the flexibility and agency is steals from drivers makes everyone less safe, and make the job less pleasant to do. The road was fun, in the days when Truck Stops still had a decent restaurant, before paper logs went away, before the tightening of the DOT Physical rules - now, its not so fun anymore.
I've found that companies charge fairly exorbitant rates for facial moisturizers.

I suspect that plain old cheap hand lotion would clog one's pores something fierce. But I've had great results just using plain old "not specifically made for faces" argan or jojoba oil based moisturizers.

I use an argan oil based one from Lush. It's not specifically for faces. A small tub is ~$35 and is roughly a year's supply for me when used on my face. It's truly bizarre to mention a skincare tip on HN but I think it's a worthwhile lifehack.
To add to the SP, the initramfs is kept on the same filesystem as everything else by default, not on a separate partition, so the initramfs is loaded from the snapshot too. However if GRUB breaks then you won't be able to boot.

That was my point.

"Checked luggage is lost luggage" has been my mantra for over a decade. I never ever ever check a bag unless a flight attendant requires me to. Obviously everyone's needs are different, but I'm fine with a carry-on for any length of trip. After 1.5-2 weeks I may need to do laundry, but that's fine.

There are probably solutions to the problem of it taking too long for people to pull their bags from the overhead bins.
This was incredible. It blew my mind. Thank you so much. I had no idea that crocs were basically the other side of dinosaurs.
No, people are biased because they are more likely to seek out content that reinforces their view point…not because something is long or short or takes effort. Given by how reading books is actually a declining activity, I would not say most people see it as a “better” thing than video content.

When you read a book, it is up to you to weigh the words, intake the research, vet the author, and then see if you can find some counter points from other sources. If your excuse for being fooled by false content is “well they lied”…you should get some accountability.
In Italy you are actually compelled to do a "residual buy" if you own 90% of the company.

This is supposed to protect small investors from finding themselves owning shares they can't sell on the market anymore.

The price is set by the equivalent of the SEC.

If that fails to buy all the shares, the company must sell enough stock so that the market is again liquid enough.

I _think_ many countries have similar rules, as cursory googling shows the London stock Exchange changed their minimum free float requirement some years ago.

But do we have a free speach?! What defines free speach in the first place?! Because per all these “free speach advocates” platforms, it goes “as long as it’s not illegal then post it”, but what’s legal/illegal now can change in the future or wasn’t the same in the past, rendering these platforms only chatting in the margins of what they are allowed to chat on and/or preying on the poor/weak say race based “free speach” but never a class based free speach because it is obviously illegal to do so. So that “free speach” is just an illusion or controlled one.

The problem is when the assets are derived from the income. In a situation with a stable income, saving money has an effect similar to the money getting counted twice.

If two very similar families start with the same assets, and then have the same income for fifteen years, they should get the same aid.

If there was some external windfall, by all means expect some of that to go to college payments. But if a family simply spent less, why should that increase expected payment?
