Thanks, yes I've seen someone else mention trying Llama.cpp. I'll see if I can set it up, I'm new to this and will look for a guide on how to use Llama.cpp and report back as if it builds and runs well on Apple Silicon. I think it would be a nice write up for the community as there isn't too much out there about Linux on AS in general.
Was not aware of the 4th book. Looking forward to that. Thank you. The first three books were great and opened my eyes to the sheer breadth of what other intelligent life could be like.

My understanding is that downscaling basically throws away the effects of font hinting and of any type of algorithm aligning glyph edges to the pixel grid to make them look sharper.

So depending on the user's personal tastes, their vision, their monitor's DPI and the font rendering algorithms used, the difference might range from clearly perceptible to none.
It’s weird, since they don’t really need to do that. Just maintain a separate $20 face guard for every user (the foam that you attach to the quest that then touches your face), that should be in the realm of a normal gym, and this is supposed to be a high end one.
I had (have?) a side project to build a self-hostable Mint/PersonalCapital/whatever on top of ofxtools. The basic idea would be full control of your credentials, so you don't have to trust a third-party like Plaid or Yodlee. Self-hosted doesn't necessarily mean not supporting SaaS-ish behavior though, it's fairly easy to do "dump all my transactions to BigQuery in my own project".

I feel like self-hostable asset and expense tracking is something a few people would care about. I believe tech forward folks are faced with a choice between:

- Command-line tools like gnucash or ofxtools that are pretty bare bones

- Spreadsheets that are manually updated

- Give in, and hope that these companies don't have data breaches

Those options kinda suck :). Does anyone want this? I made it part of the way, until I got infuriated by the sad state of "open banking" in Europe (a friend was interested, but is in Europe, where OFX isn't popular).
I'll take a look into Koboldcpp, a frontend is always nice, thanks! I do have the max specs on this M1.
I've been working on a mathematical puzzle-game, sort of like 2048, but with real mathematics.

Rules:

- Combine cells by dragging over them to create a adjacent path, that either multiply or add up to the last cell in the path, like 2*3=6 or 4+5=9.
- Swipe in any direction to move the cells in that direction.

The game uses visual color-code to help the user to get an intuitive feel for which numbers can be multiplied together. Most people will get a sense of this without an explanation, but technically the color coding are the fractions of the number. For instance if the target cell is 12, it has two orange(2) and one green(3). In this case, one can look at cells close to the target that has those colors, instead of performing the calculation.

I've been working on this for about a year in my spare time. I think that the most important part that is missing now is a nicer UI, as well as to tweak the controls a bit.

I've had a ton of fun with this one, with various over engineered implementations (it's my personal project, so I can can do that if I want), and learned a ton.

Interesting highlights:

- Generating fun, varied and challenging boards.
- Using bitmaps to create a custom but memory-space-effective representation of every action taken on a board.

As for a pricing model, I think it will be free, with a _Buy me a coffee_-button or similar.

I think when they say "systems" they are referring to large grid scale energy generation systems, not what you can install at home, which is necessarily more expensive per unit energy than at grid scale.

Do you have any suggestions? I'm new to using LLM's in general, thanks.
Does anyone have experiences using MLIR vs. a custom IR which lowers to LLVM IR? I've worked with the latter.

On one hand MLIR seems like it would be nice to work with. LLVM IR is fairly low-level and hard to debug, but has a great API; it would be great to use such an API but keep things like type-safety and invariants, and worry less about tricky undefined behavior. On the other hand, despite claims of extensibility and flexibility, it's hard to imagine it being easier to work with than a custom IR. Plus, it seems MLIR's extensibility was build to support some things in particular (custom architectures, "affine / polyhedral" optimizations).
Taking the time out to post to complain that there's no info in a README is definitely not something I might choose to do, but if multiple people did it for my project, I might consider reflecting on the feedback and altering one line of README text to lower the friction of people checking out my project.

The Costco example is perfect because if I was the sample manager or whatever and I overheard people rudely complaining to each other that they didn't like not knowing what was in the sample products, I might consider putting the ingredients list up next to the sample station. The goal is, after all, to get as many people to come check out the product as possible, right?

I was curious how much fossil fuel lobbyists are pushing hydrogen (they keep assuming electricity is free but somehow not competitive with hydrogen).

It’s increasingly starting to look like they anticipate having plants synthesize methane in remote areas (maybe near methane wells) and possibly have higher productivity from those setups than people would anticipate if they looked closely at the hydrolysis performance.
I tried to learn from the toy tutorial and just found it to jump into the deep end too quick, without enough explanation for me to start writing code (because everything I touched in `toy` caused the build to break in mysterious ways).

A weak, dishonest back-down after getting called out on being unable to substantiate your blathering. Pathetic.
All the laid off engineers I know have formal education, so if you happen to have an answer, it would apply to at least some people. Looking forward to your answer.
Reading The Inner Citadel, even though it's repetitive but it gave me new insights into Stoicism.
Yeah but it needs to be charged often. That would be a compelling use case for the radio based timing synchronization that are in less power hungry watches, and I'm curious, if this watch just had GPS for timing and none of the other features, if it's power would last as long or even half as long as the older models.
Not comparing agriculture to slavery. But people made this private property rights for slavery too. Sometimes wrong is just wrong. Fuck your rights. Wasting scarce water in a desert to grow unsuitable plants because your grandfather bought some cheap water rights is just wrong.
Ok fair, but that has very little to do with utility sized energy production which I assume the OP is talking about.
I always take this individual with a grain of salt. I originally supported her as that she was an enthusiast and talking about making things. However, she has a strong tendency to dramatize things and it's very easy to get caught up in her net.

Context: She started raking a maker site (I think it was instructables) about quietly dropping Chinese character support. She went a huge tirade that it was racism and it was intentional. I suggested that hey it's probably a dumb product owner/business decisions. Then she starts arguing with me that "she knows tech." She then quote tweets me so she can target her audience against me also manages to call me a mansplaining tech bro. (And blocks me)

Nearly everything she produced tried to focus it on getting attention, from 360 youtube videos to emphasis her sexual features, to selling 3d nude scans, overly dramatic videos to increase viewership. On top of that she's snaps any any journalist who doesn't cover her exactly how she wants: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naomi_Wu#Vice_article

Two Years Before The Mast by Richard Henry Dana. An account of the cattle hide trade along the California coast in the 1830s by a Harvard student on a leave of absence from his studies. Dana narrates about his life as a sailor traveling around Cape Horn and his work among the Californian coastal communities collecting hides to be sent back east. One of the books that inspired Melville to write Moby Dick and was used as a travel guide by the 49ers during the gold rush. Dana returned in 1859 to see how California progressed and added an epilogue to later editions about that journey.
I've seen this mentioned in some guides I have read (I believe this is the one you are referencing: https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui) and will definitely look into it, thanks!
If you think one tape backup for important stuff is enough, then you did it wrong. Backups for your backups for your backups, is the way.
I think that rely on several other fact.

- Javascript evolved, so you no longer need some crazy long template to support simple sentence like class extends
- TypesScript appears, and also benefit the js eco system with d.ts files. And it even become coffeescript's short coming
- Editor evolved, the editing experience is far better than before. The time typing long keywords can mostly compensated by auto-complete

But what will be the pain point that react can't resolve, other framework can and out weight any other benefits? I don't see that as for now
Worth noting for the interested reader that's disappointed upon reading your comment that there's also a Princeton Companion to Applied Mathematics (ISBN-13: 978-0691150390, ISBN-10: 0691150397).

Here’s another project I worked on that I know will probably ruffle some feathers here. But to preface, I used it as way to learn Open AI function calls and - small concept of a zero to product launch full automation.
This is a single page script that that generates an idea, creates an audience profile, then writes a book of short stories in a 5d array, looping over each level, then generates an image through midjourney through a hacked together api and creates a styled cover where there are a number of steps to ensure that aesthetically, the book cover is decent. It then uploads it to Amazon using puppeteer and uploads it to the woocommerce site as a new product.

https://github.com/mattrichmo/wisewriterv3

It’s my first complex app I’ve created that required multiple apis, and dealing with errors from multiple levels but I never actually uploaded a single book to Amazon so I can’t speak to the quality of the content.
I was thinking if throwing this up on a website and letting people make a book for their child or something but I’d love the take the idea of zero-to-launch automation further. I’d love to go to bed and have a new well researched, highly desired product that actually serves a market need when I wake up sort of deal.
Mac was a lot less painful for installing open source software than Windows was at the time (and still is in some ways). A compatible tool chain makes porting Linux software much easier. Installing is also easier when you’ve got Bash and a file system that resembles Linux.

And having a Unix shell out of the box was/is easier than dealing with Cygwin and its alternatives.

Windows is better these days because the cloud dragged Microsoft into doing something about its shell experience. But even now Windows versions of things like Curl are half-assed versions.

I have been tinkering with this word game for something like 6 years. It is intended for mobile, though it works adequately on desktop. It is a virtually endless word-finding game that can be played solo or taking turns with a friend. I still need to add some game modes and more interaction, but the bones are there:

When we find another civilization, what are the odds that it is more civilized than us? I think that is highly likely because we have had telescopes only a few thousand years.

So let's assume that most civilizations we might find are more advanced than us. They have bigger more advanced weapons most likely. So does it make sense to try to tell them our very new civilization exists? Would it help us somehow if they discover us? Perhaps not UNTIL our civilization is capable enough.

Other civilizations probably would have similar thoughts and therefore they would not try to contact us, until they feel they have developed enough. Which is probably never.

I mean did American Indians really want to be discovered by Europeans?
Thanks all for replying, I'm sorry I didn't realize that there were replies until now. The advice is great and I'll see if I can get some of the models I referenced running under Linux now and will report back with a write up on how it was achieved if successful.
I really really wish there were more obvious good answers here. I struggle to think of other jobs I'd want where I have as much ability to go off and get hard things done, again and again and again, with relatively little interference.

It's both embarassing to me personally, for feeling like I'm an idiot who can't appreciate the world & how much it offers. But it also makes me sad and mad, is a persistent feeling I've had that the world has peaked, has failed to sustain a broad system of good hard worthwhile jobs that pay pretty well & feel fulfilling. It feels terrible, like we are failing to fulfill an obligation to the future. Hello next-comers, you've arrived, but we have so little for you, sorry.
Awesome!

The pin count increase has improved the situation, but it's still noticeable. I'm using Vancouver/CA as the test if that helps.
You can just make up whatever sounds right to you and post that, or actually do some research and learn that what sounds right to you is just completely false.

Yes, very illegal also, if you can show it in time, best approach is to call 911 and say your house has been broken into. If the door is smashed or something, it will be obvious.

But ya, we are approach “lawless enough that the law doesn’t help protect you against squatters” and “lawful enough that the law makes it very hard for you to act on your own against squatters.” Remember, you have financial things to lose, these people squatting generally don’t (besides their freedom, and they usually get out of any time).

Convert your code to an image from the command line. No internet connection needed, although it can also download and convert code from Github too. Made it because currently the best alternative (carbon-now-cli) sends your code over the wire and there's a lot of situations where that's not desirable.

Thanks for sharing!

Does it pay well?

Are there a lot of these jobs available, a shortage of thousands that might make sense for quite a lot of laid off people to pursue this? Or do you think it's good for a few people but not many, otherwise we'll oversaturate the market?
I like the look of htmx at first but then when I want to do something where I would usually reach for JavaScript (vanilla or framework), such as a dropdown button, I inevitably consider hyperscript and then I see an example like "<div class="dropdown"
_="on mouseenter toggle .is-active on me until mouseleave">" and decide I don't like having sentences in code like that and I move on to something else.

Maybe I should give htmx a go without hyperscript or maybe I should give hyperscript more time. But on anything that I'm expecting to be maintaining for years it's just too unfamiliar and I don't want to be stuck with it if I wind up never using it again.
The advantage I see is that there's no more context switching between the app and DB, which is the IO between the two. Especially if the two are on different servers, as is often the case. So that should boost performance quite a bit.
For everyone complaining that you don't want to have to go to a gym. I can understand the cleanliness part but do remember you may or may not also own an exercise machine dusting away in the basement like me.

The whole act of going to them gym is part of the motivation, at least for me. If I had everything at home I know I would never use it. However going to the gym after work is routine and it would be stupid to go back home without a workout when I am already there.

i've worked on pytorch and mlir. pytorch has no less than 3 internal IRs and has tensorexprs, which lower to llvm ir. without a doubt mlir is preferrable because at the minimum it's a bigger ecosystem of users/developers etc that understand the compiler. so the code is clearer, the docs are better, there are way more features and tools. i really can't name a negative relative to pytorch, especially now that the one cute thing that pytorch had (codegen for boilerplate for the ir) has been implemented (better) in mlir.

> Plus, it seems MLIR's extensibility was build to support some things in particular

this isn't true in the least. just go to https://mlir.llvm.org/docs/Dialects/ and you'll see the set of upstream dialects is very diverse. and that's just upstream.
Yep! I am reading the book 2 and so far so good!
Any guides on what kind of equipment and set up is needed to get started? I've been having thoughts of having a "slice of nature" like you said. But I don't know what's the way to get as close to a self-sufficient and passive system as possible.
Yes. Unfortunately I’m dealing with an app that likes to use multiple magic dates way past the Pandas range.
The most sensible option would be to store the hydrogen geologically and burn it directly if you needed the power. If you want something transportable, methanol is the simplest fuel you can make, and is what typically gets used when fossil fuels aren't an option (e.g. Germany in WWII). No need for carbon capture, since any source of carbon will do, and plants will pull carbon out of the atmosphere as long as you run carbon negative.
Pasture + sheep + solar works just fine in practice:

> And labeling groups who disagree with them as “heretics”, “crazies”, “cranks”, etc is how the orthodoxy censors

It's also how you accurately describe people who actually are cranks, such as creationists, flat earthers, anti-vaxxers, and so on. That these labels can sometimes be wrongly weaponized doesn't mean that such descriptions aren't also sometimes accurate and helpful.

It's useful to have a unifying descriptive label because it reflects the fact that all these groups of people are similar in one important way: they think there exists an orthodoxy that are stifling any questioning of an official narrative. When, in reality, this "orthodoxy" are simply a group of people who know more about the topic than you, and who view the crank in the same way that you view flat earthers. As people with distorted thinking who have advanced an argument that is entirely void of merit.

> That the orthodoxy seeks to censors dissent rather than address it

How do you think biologists should deal with the claims of creationists? That's not a rhetorical question. There are many, many groups with a grievance against the "orthodoxy", who harbour perceptions of being ignored/censored Do you think creationists are unfairly treated by biologists? Or do you think biologists are correct to ignore them? If you think biologists are correct in doing so, doesn't that violate the principles you've outlined?

Correct. This is why I said “effectively”. At the end of the day, Unstable does run behind during the freeze period. Same for Testing, obviously
That’s a curious domain, seems like it’s a meme/joke? (NSO group is the ones that helps shady governments put 0days in the phones of journalists etc). I guess it’s kinda fun to see this quirky and in-jokey vibe to the fediverse. Reminiscent of the pre-corporate internet era.

It's not that WordPress, the technology, is simple. It's that deploying the bog standard solution, rather than investing energy into researching alternatives and developing workflows for them, is a simple and pragmatic approach.

Most plants can only process a strictly limited amount of sunlight, and just endure the rest. Partial shade relieves heat stress. Peppers, in particular, yield 3x in partial shade, vs. full sun. Even those like wheat and maize bred and adapted for full sun do fine with partial shade, with only slightly reduced yield.

But there is more than enough pasture to site all the solar we need to power the world, while simultaneously protecting the livestock from weather extremes.
