Not sure you'll see this, but I played from release until they released D2:R (I want to play D2:R, just no time :) )

Early on that's how it was, but later on they figured out glitch rushes (grushes) to help you fly through a1-a3 and you'd usually just trade your forge on NM/Hell for it.

After awhile though, this got really scammy from my experience (too many players who needed to be rushed would just flake)

Around 2018 or so when I played again, there were a LOT of shop bots running around doing the runs, and even better you had ENCHANT games where some suped up sorc would cast a ridiculously leveled ENCHANT on you (and your merc!) and even get you waypoints. I think I even remember the bots could do the grush, but I'm not confident I remember right on this element.

Basically, yes, old team-ups were great, when the player base was significant enough that you could do this :) In the last years of D2/LOD original, it was a little less possible to go that route.

I don't know how difficult the process of skinning a frog leg is, but I imagine it's not too much effort to just keep some live frogs on hand and do that every two days.

Author of `wherr` here. I agree that you wouldn't always want to pay the extra cost for this information.

However, I imagine real-world use-cases when it's preferable to pay that cost in production, allowing users to forward file and line information to the original developer via a bug report.

Alternatively, indirectly, for instance via some company's customer support, that might ask the customer to include output from their program, which they in turn can let their developers analyse, who in turn can contact the developer of the library used, where the error originates from.

Not having this information in production, means the original developer will need to try to figure out how to reproduce the error locally, which might be necessary anyway of course, but the effort will probably be less, given the file and line information.

That said, I agree with you that the most likely use-case, is to enable this only when debugging, on a per-function basis, when needed.
If it allows you to prepare and get your affairs in order to better deal with it as it brings your life to a halt, then it's a great thing.

> Beekeper extracts almost all bee and replaces it with sugar

If you mean that the larvae combs are removed and replaced by sugar... most probably not. The idea is having as much bees by beehive as you can breed.

If you mean that beekeepers remove "almost all" honey leaving bees to starve, this is an oversimplification. Any professional beekeeper know that will need to leave enough honey for winter. Leaving a minimum of 12-15 Kg of honey is standard and should suffice for the bees. If the beehive looks weak may not be harvested at all. Sugar is provided if needed as winter emergency feeding. The beekeeper will feed the bees in autumn also to assure that the fall born bees are as strong as fatty as possible.
> For example, in the case of Ubuntu or Unity (the engine) you can tell what you're looking at, at a glance.

For Ubuntu people often use the codename (including in quite a few UIs, like [1]), something it presumably inherited from Debian, which does the same. I really dislike it, because I usually know which version number I want, but I rarely know which codename I want and always have to look it up on Wikipedia or the like.

> > In apiaries, queens often have their wings clipped, to interrupt swarming

This is nonsense. Beekeepers like to do "splits" (simulated swarming) because it increases the number of hives they have (and if they have too many, they can sell them), and mated queens don't and can't fly far unless the colony prepares her for swarming by making her lose weight for a couple of weeks before swarming.

> > and are routinely inspected, and replaced by newcomers, sometimes imported from the other side of the world.

This is true. Well, the queens themselves don't get "inspected" so much as the whole colony, because the beekeeper wants to see the queen laying lots. Re-queening is very much a thing, and quite frequent too.

> > Propolis—a wonderful, sticky substance that bees make from tree resin and that has antibacterial qualities—is typically scraped out of hives by beekeepers because it is annoying and hard to get off their hands.

I never scrape off propolis (which really is wonderful), and all beekeepers really should not scrape it off. But it's generally understood that propolis is very good. Indeed, there are beekeepers who stimulate production of propolis to harvest and sell it (you can definitely find propolis products out there), but only ignorant ones scrape it of because it's annoying.

> > Natural beekeepers leave their bees alone. They seldom treat for disease—allowing the weaker colonies to fail—and they raise the survivors in conditions that are as close as possible to tree cavities. They fill their hives with swarms that come in on the wing, rather than those which come from dealers who trade on the Internet.

True! Except that catching swarms is no guarantee that those are not "from dealers who trade on the Internet" (oh noes, not the Iinnnternet! and dealers!!). I've bought queens "on the Internet", though not from dealers but from beekeepers who do queen rearing. The problem with those queens is that they're often not very good, possibly because the larvae used for the grafts was too old, or because they didn't get enough chances to mate, or because of in-breeding.

It's interesting that you compare this with a book about computer architecture because "Software Architecture Patterns" doesn't seem to be concerned with computer architecture at all but more about ... software architecture with concepts such as Event-driven architecture and microservices.

I completely agree. I never understood this craze of removing keys.

The number pad is another example of this. Typing numbers is massively more comfortable (and quicker too) on the number pad than it is with the row of numbers just below the F-keys.

The amount of desk space people save is so negligible, particularly when people who buy these keyboards typically work in “paperless” offices, that I never understood the appeal.

I guess it boils down to people wanting their keyboards to look pretty rather than being actually useful.
S22 ultra here, when I shake my phone there is something rattling, I always assumed it was some part of lenses, since they have some advanced stuff like periscopes and maybe for some good reason some part is not tightly held as the rest. Otherwise there shouldn't be a thing moving in the phone.

Be that as it may, every time I see a new database product I open the page, and if it doesn't support SQL, more often than not I never think about it and don't think about it again. I am never going to invest in some proprietary query format for marginal gains over SQL, seeing as I'm yet to run into a situation where having to write SQL precludes solving a problem I had. I really don't want data stores to adopt the frenetic rate of change seen in other areas of the field (like JS, shudder).

I think Postgres does an excellent job staying up to date with ANSI SQL; all other implementations (other than sqlite) are largely irrelevant to me.
Maybe your work projects should use JavaScript, but I think this advice shouldn’t be limited to side projects. Specifically the part of the post about shortcuts is a good reminder for any developer working on any project.

The fact that there's a cartridge compatibility list indicates that this is not a real machine, but an emulator which does not even do a good job of emulating the cartridge ports. I was so close. This is the same disappointment as the Ultimate64 that has a cartridge port, but one which does not actually simulate it completely.

It's a shame, because it'd not have been too difficult to get there.
Ah, don't be scared. You're at least starting to think on your data and replicating your most important stuff elsewhere. I'd still recommend a non-cloud copy also, but you're probably okay :)

Take it as a good impetus to catalog your data and find those extra replication options. Data protection does cost you a bit to do it "fully", but since I've worked on a backup solution before in a client facing way, trust me when I tell you that I've seen rather large businesses (a few you might even know as a household name) who have less consideration for their data than you've expressed in your 3 sentences :)

So just figure out which of your data _truly_ needs to survive at all costs, get a solid setup with personally owned storage for the backups in combination with cloud storage, and you're probably fine.

That's not necessarily true. Major US corporations like DICK's are all aboard the woke train despite hemorrhaging customers massively from the second and third order consequences of banning scary things from their stores several years ago. To the tune of $250 million. And the CEO kept his job!
I’ve always wondered why the backtrace just kind of stops midway to when you finally handle an error, instead of showing up to the `?` where the error happened. I’ve been using anyhow’s `with_context` to add helpful notes to each usage of `?` to get around it.

I’ll have to check if this macro is an easier solution!

I always thought Flash was unusably slow, until I tried it on Windows. On Windows Flash was fast and fluent, on the Mac it was choppy and unbearably slow.

Since Flash was so ubiquitous on the web, this made Macs a lot slower for many tasks than Windows computers. No matter how much Steve Jobs touted the power of the G4, and boasted about the speed of Final Cut, nobody would believe it when their Mac couldn't even run a space invaders clone in IE4 fluently.

Adobe ignored performance on Apple devices for years. There was no way in hell Apple would allow Adobe to do the same to iOS.

Not just amateurs. Professionals too.
>Engineering, in the US at least, is a regulated profession

No, it's not. Civil engineering is; the rest of them, not so much. The vast majority of engineers in the US fall under the "industrial exemption", whether they work for Microsoft, Google, Ford, GM, Boeing, or General Dynamics, or countless other companies large and small. Almost none of them have a Professional Engineer license.

It's weird how, every time this kind of discussion comes up, civil engineers keep trying to tell all the people who design fighter jets and cars that they're not "real engineers" because they don't have a license.
>Could someone explain in simple terms exactly what fine-tuning does?

Fine-tuning shows the model examples of sequences it should produce. The model is updated to become more likely to produce sequences like those examples. What precisely 'like those examples' means for brand new prompts unlike those in the training distribution is the black magic of generalization.

>Does it show the model how to answer questions, or does it give it new information, or both?

It can be used to teach style, or information, or both.

>Is there a way to restrict answers to the fine-tuned data?

There is no foolproof way to restrict answers to fine-tuned data. You might be able to approach decent performance if you show it examples of refusing on all topics not related to X.

>For example, if one would want to use an LLM to answer questions regarding a large, private knowledge base, would it make sense to fine-tune a model on this knowledge base?

Short answer: I wouldn't recommend fine-tuning. Long answer: it depends on your task, your expertise, and your tolerance for collecting large datasets and iterating. I generally recommend retrieval. Putting info in the input has a few advantages over fine-tuning: you can check where information is coming from, and it's easier for the model to answer without hallucinating (akin to a student taking a test with open notes they can refer to, rather than trying to remember a textbook they read a week ago). Retrieval is best at lookup type questions and is worse at questions requiring comparisons or mixing of many pieces of source data; possible fine-tuning has some edge there.
It's a common issue with PG documentation, google often leads you to documentation for old versions (or it's an indication that these versions are actually still highly relevant)

Fortunately PG is very good at keeping the documentation structure the same between major versions and provides crosslinks to the proper documentation for all PG versions on (almost?) all pages
Do you really think aliens are little green men?
>For example, if one would want to use an LLM to answer questions regarding a large, private knowledge base, would it make sense to fine-tune a model on this knowledge base?

No, it does not. Language models are not for storing or accessing data, as you have noticed when you refer to hallucination. If you wish to store and access data, use embeddings + a vector database.
Fine tuning is for changing what kind of language the model generates. For example, if you want an AI that writes like a journalist you fine tune it on newspaper articles. If you want an AI that writes reviews, you fine tune it on reviews. And so on.

Not sure about your particular case, but this kind of things is often caused by a missing font on the receiver side.
Most phone cameras rattle while the camera is off. If you turn the main camera on, then it normally stops the rattle temporarily, since the rattling lens assembly is now held in place electromagnetically.
it's not just mounted iphones. An iphone doesn't fit in the motorcycle mount but an old oneplus does, so that gets mounted and iphone stays in my jacket pocket. Iphone camera is fubar, oneplus is working just fine.
Your taunting comment is not helpful.
I actually like your sentiment, but I think what you're describing is ideology, not economics.

The reality is, America sent many things overseas to be manufactured because it was cheaper, and I don't really see this changing in the near future, at least at scale. If India starts producing chips that work just as well as American chips and if they're cheaper than what's available in the USA, you will be using Indian chips and American manufacturing firms will either have to work for cheaper (unlikely) or offshore as well.

Where I live, we sent fruit grown locally, halfway across the country to a market, and then we buy them back at a higher price, this is clearly the stupidest thing ever on so many levels, but economics is a bitch.
The Battlebots/Robot Wars metagame got so stale. It was just down to 'put as much kinetic energy into a spinning weapon as possible, and pray that you survive the first impact'

I wish there'd been 'competitive robotics' when I'd been at school in the 80s/early 90s, though. Maybe it'd have pushed me more towards electronics or mechanical engineering rather than focusing so much on coding. But the technology wasn't quite at the point where it became practical.
Same here. All these modern keyboards are missing a lot of what old one had. The most I miss most is the Alt GR one, the bigger ENTER key and I want a lot of space. Call me fat fingers if you want.

So I started to actually create my own. And I want it to be programmable. And movable, as in you can move the key around, enlarge or shrink them. And when I say I want them programmable I meant to pull a little gizmo out of it, hook it up to a separate power source and load preset or connect to computer and use an app to make the keys look different.

So far my idea is to have each key include a magnet, an ESP32 chip and a small LED screen on top of it. The controller to all those 110+ ESP32 chips will be a RPi CM4 module, which will also be the USB connection for the PC. That's one iteration because this way I can actually have a click-clack mechanical one. The other iteration is to just have a big ass touch screen and the RPI underneath to just play that as an app that simulates the keyboard. Prettier, way more customizable as key positions/size go but no click-clack sound/feeling.

I'm $2000 in my research hole for this with nothing to show up for but is fun. Probably next year I'll finish it :)
This is correct, and still a technical layperson will have a much harder time creating a fun animation with a text editor than with the Flash authoring system.

Despite its other quirks and pain points, I feel that AWS CloudFormation does a better job of separating the ideas of a set of desired resources (Templates) and their deployed instances (Stacks).

I've seen a lot of Terraform best-practices guides for project organisation that are a mess of nested folders for environments and modules, with boilerplate provider and backend configuration in each of them. The built-in solution (Workspaces) can also be helpful, but doesn't work in contexts where deeper segregation between environments is required.

My personal approach to living happily with Terraform is to have a set of standard root modules (network, db, etc.) and have a wrapper like Ansible that generates the backend configuration on-the-fly for whatever environment is being targeted. I'd also have it load variables from a central configuration store and expose them as TF_VAR_... so a standard set of variables is always available.
