The idea that the receiver is the sole interpreter and judge of intent is in my opinion unfair and unreasonable. The receiver can interpret utterance in a great many ways to which only imagination is the limit.
My bad.

I despise the anti-social alarm of those bikes. At my work, someone has put one on the bike rack, which is a type where you suspend bikes by one wheel.

If you so much as brush that bike, or even shake the bike rack a bit, it will scream loudly and startle you. Do it again and it's an ear-piercing alarm you have to contend with while you store your bike. And it's really hard to do considering how packed the rack is, and how normal it is to move other bikes a bit to store yours.

Other than that, I don't have a strong opinion on those: they seem like overpriced bikes that are expensive to repair, and other commenters seem to agree on that.
Yeah I did misread it.

Performance benchmarks of front end frameworks
I spent quite some time creating benchmarks for most famous frontend frameworks and some of their variations.

Basically it's about Angular, React, Svelte and Vue, with or without their full-stack framework (like Next for React, SvelteKit for Svelte, and Nuxt for Vue), and there's even a variation of using React with Vite as bundler instead of Webpack.

Turns out that, of full-stack frameworks, Svelte Kit has really good results.

A quite interesting conclusion for now is that runtime performances are not really significant: using a headless browser, repeating some tasks 200 times that imply no network calls and only DOM modifications. Everything takes about seconds, and for 200 actions that should be super quick, as said, it's less than 10% difference on the slowest versus the fastest.

What do you think of these tests?

Feel free to comment on the method, everything is in the repository for you to criticize so that we might have better benchmarks at some point :)
There’s a couple models on huggingface that uses NTK/linear RoPE that you can play with. Vicuna and WizardLM both have a 16K context model. The biggest issue is that if you go to really high context, it sometimes does these weird repetitions. But to be fair, I only have tried the quantized models and 13B (highest I can run locally). Not sure if the repetition are an artifact of the rope or quantization or both.
I really like this idea. Quite often I am checking train times, etc, especially at work.

I really dislike the idea of relying on something like AWS to make it work, though. If I invest into an IoT/hardware project, I want it to still be usable in 10 years time, not e-waste due to the random whims of Amazon.

In theory you could query the national rail feeds directly: https://www.nationalrail.co.uk/developers/

I may try it sometime with my ESP8266 watch!
I guess that is another way of looking at it. However, with the pyrolysis step and the cost of collection I still don't see how it helps. A busy coffee shop produce perhaps 10kg of waste a day and the big players already have ways of recycling it.

Such great evidence.
There are multiple issues here that seems to stem from taking my comments in a way not intended.

For example, I am fine with the CDC Existing, I am fine with them advocating the public do x, or y, I am fine with them establishing protocols and guidance for people

I am not fine with them having the authority to order people to do X, or to exceed their authority prohibiting evictions, or working with private industry to target people for censorship that dared to question their advice or many of the other things

Again read my opening comment "Government works best which is subservient to the people" this means the government can ADVISE people on the best actions to take, but should not ORDER people to do it...

The second the government has the power to ORDER you do something well you are now a serf and not a free person.
It's after 1800, so it can be.

Well, judging by the abysmal quality of the "AI art" coming out, the limitation on creativity is clearly not technological. The limitation is the lack of creativity coming from these artists.

As such, the predictions that AI will "replace all artists" is obviously way overblown. At best, it will be a helpful tool, along the lines of Photoshop or After Effects.
TLDR: the Haskell programmer who gives a shit has stopped giving a shit.

>Using banter for high-stress situations is quite a British thing. There's a story I was told about British troops during WWII in wet rat ridden trenches, cold and low on rations, having banter to keep morale high - much to the Americans surprise.

I've been reading and watching videos on European cultures. Many say in European cultures small talk is not a thing. I know UK is not Europe in that sense but are geographically. Things like the "German stare" where they don't talk but stare at people. But actually now that I think about it supposedly on UK subways talking is taboo. Someone from the US or Canada would be trying to make small talk in lines/queues for anything.
How high context do you need? There’s a couple 16K models out there now. Some people have their own 32K ones too but the quality vary. It’s worth trying them on huggingface. The easiest way is to track TheBloke’s work to see any new models that come out.
AI is a tool and is not going to replace artists any time soon.

Proper 3D art generators don't even exist yet. The ones that do are useless toys. We aren't even close to generators that can output anything even close to what a beginner 3D artist can produce.

And yes - it will make sense to physically draw stuff, because it's a much better way to tell the AI what to do. You can massage prompts all day and you will still not get what you want. Providing a pose, depth map, normal map or a reference image gives the AI a lot more information than just a prompt. I don't see that changing any time soon. You simply can't describe every single detail in a propmpt. An even if you could - it's still quicker to make a rough sketch of what you want instead of writing a goddamn novel in the prompt textbox.

No shared state between elements, but it’s an interesting idea.

There's a whole different set of heuristics people develop when working with reasonings that might not be right but give a better outcome for whatever reason.

Scientific reasoning is a relatively new phenomenon on top of the old way.

I had symptoms of low stomach acid for a while also.

Six months into COVID I hadn't experienced anything at all on what would have been 1-2 monthly flare ups. Once I had the realization I put it all together.

When COVID hit I had restarted taking a multivitamin and some extra iodine (which is involved in stomach acid production, as it turns out). I had thought my diet was pretty healthy, but as it turns out there was something I wasn't getting enough of. I still don't know what. But I keep up with it and I don't have symptoms.
> If they eventually went out of business instead, the community could at least attempt to pick up the torch and even if development slowly petered out, you'd have a decent runway during which you could migrate to something else.

That can also happen without the company going out of business, the community's efforts simply need to be based on the last version before the license change. See for instance how OpenZFS development continues even though Oracle is still around.
I do not know any recommendations for quicker/less painful childbirth.

However, pregnant women do currently get completely different advice then they used to. As in, advice for me was to continue doing sport normally, just not stuff where you risk falls or hits (skiing, climbing, box). You get obvious advice to not overdo it, but hiking, running, swimming, cycling, dancing etc are recommended.

Anecdotally, older generation tended to act as if I was irresponsible or somehow courageous for doing these, recalling that they had been expected to stop all that for the sake of a baby.

> with more civilized Women who often do not have the opportunity to develop the muscles needed in confinement.

Note massive cultural shift in here even outside of pregnancy - western women have all the chances in the world to develop any muscles they please. More or less, we are expected to care about fitness or it is at least normal to care about it.
Interesting, on the other hand for some small projects I have, I don't mind filtering through some merge requests. I believe it would only attract a small niche anyway as most of them will apply to larger projects. Might be worth setting them up for the next Hacktoberfest [1].

No. Flat out wrong. There is only a small amount of fundamental understanding that needs to be acquired to actually know what your code is actually doing.

Knowing how things work fundamentally is what matters the most, as everything else can be inferred and deduced from that. This is universally true. When you know how something works, you can build up on that.

There's no value for a programmer below how processors work with registers, caches and bus accesses. The most fundamental interface between the programmer and the computer are the registers, caches and interrupts, which make everything else happen.

Understanding how these are being used practically and properly covers a LOT of ground to build up upon.

On the other side you have the people who are fully dependent on compilers to do their job for them. They don't write code for the machine, they write code for the tool.

They don't actually know what they're doing, they have no idea how it works and they believe that the compiler optimizes it all properly anyway, as if it's magic, with no fucking clue what the fuck they're actually doing, while patting themselves on the back for living in dependency.

Why do programmers need garbage collection? Because people have no idea how not to need it. Why are pointers considered bad? Because some assholes decided that telling everyone they're too complex to use was a smart idea instead of teaching them properly, which, of course, it fucking wasn't.

If people would actually know how to do proper memory management, we'd had far less security issues from the get go instead of requiring patches for software that was written in a stupid way, ignorant of memory mapping, pages, etc ... you know, fundamental knowledge and understanding of what's actually happening.

It is considered brilliant to use mmap for faster, more memory efficient file access ... which is absolutely ridiculous, because it exposes how little programmers actually know about the fundamentals!

Using mmap for sharing information between processes and reading and writing files has been my go-to since forever, simply because every other way is literally doing it wrong.

Anyone saying that not every programmer needs to know all of this is missing the point. Of course you don't need to, but the status quo is built upon exactly that line of thinking.

Are you better off being able to, at least moderately, repair your car yourself, or are you better off depending on someone else to do it? The answer is obvious, and the same applies to literally everything.

Less dependency should always be the top priority, because less dependency leads to better understanding and increased freedom ... but we're living in a world that's doing the exact opposite.

Gonna stop writing now, because there's no end to this.
If I'm not mistaken it is this part:

> Lewis explained that the brightening and fading of quasar light, known as their variability is like the stock mark, unpredictable on the surface but with statistical properties that allow it to be modelled over time. This variability can be used like the ticking of a cosmic clock. It was this understanding and the complex quasar firework display from 190 of these feeding supermassive black holes that allowed the team to spot time dilation when the universe was just 1.5 billion years old, less than 10% of its current age.
It's also nonsense. It's not about having muscles, it's about having children aged 13 instead of 30.
I've been researching this pretty deeply for the last few years, and I've come to the conclusion that, without a complete redesign, most popular programming languages cannot have direct control of these optimizations in an ergonomic manner.

The reasonI think this is because:
Most languages target C or LLVM, and C and LLVM have a fundamentally lossy compilation processes.

To get around this, you'd need a hodge podge of pre compiler directives, or take a completely different approach.

I found a cool project that uses a "Tower of IRs" that can restablish source to binary provenance, which, seems to me, to be on the right track:

https://github.com/trailofbits/vast

I'd definitely like to see the compilation processes be more transparent and easy to work with.

Show HN: Sliceguard, a Tool for Finding Critical Data Segments in ML Data
Hey HN,

We know from experience that a qualitative understanding of critical data segments is necessary when developing ML models. Better tooling makes finding these data slices faster, more systematic and helps to communicate with domain experts.

We built sliceguard to go from a raw dataset to an interactive report on critical data slices with just 3 lines of code:

https://github.com/Renumics/sliceguard

Behind the scenes, we use hierarchical clustering and explainable AI techniques to detect and rank data slices based on features, metadata and embeddings.

Here is some more information on Sliceguard:
- Works on structured, unstructured data (image, audio, NLP, multimodal) and hybrid datasets.
- Directly works on existing Pandas DataFrames.
- Automatic computation of embeddings and AutoML functionality to pinpoint problems without any setup.
- Interactive GUI for slice inspection supports multimodal data and can be configured with drag-n-drop.
Everybody is joking half sarcastically here but childbirth as a process in hospitals do have serious problems and modern day labour leaves deep mental scars in most women while being one of the most important thing in their life. This is definitely a step in the wrong direction however laughable the idea is.

Do you know what is the most uncomfortable position for labour is? Yeah, layin on your back. It's just the most comfortable position for the _doctor_.

Giving birth is similar to the act of vomiting in the sense that you don't have to do anything, it happens to you when the circumstances call for it. Using this method is as bad idea as to use this method to make the centripetal forces pull the content of your stomach out.

It may happen but not for the reasons described.

I cannot describe well enough how utterly stupid this idea is...

Ötzi Shows His True Colors: New Analysis Indicates Austrian Iceman Was Anatolian
OP doesn't like mastodon for the same reasons [they] didn't like Twitter. That would be mostly:

- "It's not really possible to use Twitter without at least a little bit of doomscrolling"

- "I think that the core concept of a "tweet" is fundamentally unhealthy, because by design it promotes angry and extreme content."

- "Most users don't understand that by "dunking" on someone, they are actually promoting the content."

This is basically a critic of fast-paced short interaction based on an infinite timeline. The comment about TV afterwards may seem weird but for me it makes sense. The whole concept of having everything in a single bucket is very TV-like. I don't believe user behavior will be very different on mastodon than twitter: people will follow some very productive accounts and their feed will be dominated by these.
Implies unnecessary tempering of the product...

Gather.Town is currently being used for virtual poster sessions, and in that respect it works well. I've also seen it used successfully for discussion in small groups.

There are some disadvantages that keep it from going beyond that: you cannot choose who you want to talk with, meaning you need to stay away from other people at the risk of having to talk to a stranger. And since "virtual" means "whenever you feel like it", there's a good chance that the people you want to meet are not there at the same time as you.
indeed you could argue that a CLA makes it non-FOSS, since the idea is to restrict your freedoms and the degree of openness in the first place
I do not think it is appropriate to imply non western people are "less civilized" or call them "primitive".

Also, the part about "civilized Women who often do not have the opportunity to develop the muscles needed in confinement" is simply untrue today. We all have tons of opportunities to develop whatever muscles we desire to develop. We just need to take those opportunities.

Note that western people, including women, exercise a lot. Including or especially middle and upper class ones. Conversely, if you need to spend whole day in the market, selling stuff and plus you care about 4 kids and plus you are barely able to feed family, you wont be running 10km daily or what not.
> My broad takeaway of the whole ordeal is that I'm basically avoiding if-statements these days. I feel like I can't trust them anymore.

Such broad "optimization rules" usually don't make much sense on any compiler created in the last 25 years. An optimizing compiler will analyse and optimize your program's control flow at a very high level, not just naively insert a conditional branch for each if (and that's also true in "low level" languages like C)

If you actually care about such things, you really need to look at the compiler output and incrementally tweak your code (but then other compilers or even compile options might destroy such tweaks again), there hardly is a single optimal source code solution across CPU architectures or even just different CPU models of the same architecture (just don't do any obviously stupid things which make the life of the compiler harder than need be)

Excessive Screen Time Linked to Developmental Delays in Toddlers, Study Finds
I was made aware of one inaccuracy in my comment and I cannot edit any more so here goes:

The research was on the variations of "quasar radio intensity", not pulsar frequency.
The scientists formulated a model to statistically predict intensity variation and used those projections as their "clock".
The inclusion of ”continue” in the non-lol version is pointless and obscures the actual reason for the difference: the addition of the non-pointless ”continue” in the lol version.

As other comments point out, this construct can be replaced by a cmov instruction:

if a > b:
b = a

The following construct however, cannot be replaced by cmov:

if a > b:
b = a
continue

Only by first eliminating the pointless "continue" is this replacement valid. But by including it, you can make it look like it's the 'print("lol")' is what makes the difference, which is only true lexically.
I haven't really started my project yet but so far it seems relatively easy to install myself.
The stress-energy (of which matter density is a component) of a region of spacetime determines its curvature.

In empty space the metric, which tells us how to measure distances between events, is `ds^2 = dt^2 - (dx^2 + dy^2 + dz^2)`. Integrating this along a trajectory tells you the (square of the) proper time experienced by an observer traveling along it. As you can see, the further you move in space in a given amount of coordinate-time, the less proper time you experience: this is the source of time dilation in special relativity.

Around a spherical body of mass M, the metric is (in spherical coordinates, and ignoring some scale factors for convenience):

`ds^2 = (1-M/r)dt^2 - (1-M/r)^-1 (dr^2) - r^2 (dtheta^2 + sin(theta)^2 dphi^2)`

Compare to the flat space metric from before, now in spherical coordinates as well:

`ds^2 = dt^2 - dr^2 - r^2 (dtheta^2 + sin(theta)^2 dphi^2)`

So we pick up some additional time dilation as long as `M < r` (and it always is, unless you're in the interior of a black hole)
A compiler from what to Z80? (I think there’s a word missing in what you wrote.) I started on a Model I and I’m curious about your compiler. I miss some aspects of those old machines. It was great, as a learner, that the ROM and a DOS like L-DOS was small enough to fit in your head. It can be intimidating how large everything is today.
I have only skimmed the article, but IMHO this is a pretty bad summary. (For those who want a summary, the reasons are also outlined in the article.)
Premium plans would fix that...
I have no idea what I'm doing with this, but I love it. Will look forward to figuring it out.
Why would the implementation language matter for the compiler? It is a traditional input-output algorithm, it is either good and does many fancy optimizations for good output, or it isn’t. Sure, the speed of compilation may vary, but that’s a different question.

Also, JS being such a dynamic language, it will likely perform better with a speculative JIT compiler, e.g. a shape can be assumed for a frequently used object. This is only possible with PGO to a degree.
