Thermal printers usually don't have a lot of variety. The main difference among them is the width of the paper they use: some utilize 58mm paper, while others use 80mm. As far as I know Epson printers are one of the best in terms of build quality and longetivity. In my experience, the print quality tends to remain consistent across different printer models, with paper quality playing a more significant role in the final output. Personally, I've had success using an affordable option; a Chinese second-hand Cashino CSN-A1 58mm printer. It performs quite well =)
It's not a punishment for punishment's sake, individuals were allegedly affected by SpaceX's incorrect (and apparently illegal) policy, and they lodged a complaint via the official channels.

https://www.justice.gov/media/1311656/dl?inline

There are 17 specific examples of instances where Musk/SpaceX were publicly and repeatedly disseminating incorrect information about their hiring requirements (sections 34-51), the appropriate governmental department looked into it, found out that yes, Musk and SpaceX officials were repeatedly providing incorrect and false information, and that the complaints they received were legitimate complaints.

It's not a targeted attack; persons had legitimate grievances against SpaceX, went to the appropriate governmental departments to register their complaints, the department investigated and found out that indeed, Musk and SpaceX were violating the law. The emphasis on Musk is only because there are multiple instances cited in the filing where Musk himself was spreading the incorrect information on his social media sites consistently and repeatedly. Even if we give the most benign understanding that SpaceX just misunderstood the laws, it still was incorrect behavior that needs to be stopped.

I really cannot see this as political motivated; regardless of the reasons SpaceX did this, they were not compliant with the law and actively spreading incorrect information. If it was any other company not Musk-adjacent, probably we wouldn't be having this conversation :) Instead we have another example where Musk and Musk-adjacent companies are being held to tasks for the things they say and actions they've taken which have negatively affected others improperly.

Open is rarely the action I want most often.

I use search/typing in a launcher to open documents and apps, or I’m using a command line.

Mostly organising things in directories or doing other admin or secondary tasks when I’m in a file explorer application.

I also tend to use list mode on the smallest zoom, and multi- and group-select items a lot, which works terribly with hover select.

Single click to select makes sense as selecting one or more files is the precursor to almost every operation.

With single click to open my main use case would get much harder and I’d randomly end up opening stuff I don’t want to at least some of the time. No thanks.
Looking at recent supreme court rulings in the US, I can‘t even see a lid on the can anymore, and I‘m honestly not even sure there‘s any piece of can left.

If the political right does not give a damn about neutral and impartial courts, I guess it‘s fair game to the left as well.

> Burn out in Europe is still omnipresent and rising these days

From what I know, I work for a very large insurance company, it's mostly healthcare department due to consequences of COVID. Which shouldn't have happened, but it id.

> This include Germany, the 'chosen child' every proponent points at in these discussions

I'm not German and I do not particularly trust Germany, in fact I think it's one of the worst Western European country to live and work.

> A few weeks off barely makes a dent

But it makes a difference, that's the point.

I was simply pointing out that paid vacation it's a tool that's very useful for companies too, as for the 70s and th 80s, I was there, it was much worse than today.

My parents worked for the national healthcare in my Country, in 12 hours shift, 5 consecutive nights. Now it's 8 hour shifts for a maximum of two consecutive nights and then you get mandatory 36 hours off and morning shifts for a week.

Try working 6 days a week for a month and then 5 days a week for a month and see how much those "only few days" make a dent in your well being.

> Surprise, that's the same culture that exists in most EU-countries. Just less hardcore.

I work 220 days/year and I'm off 145 days, it's pretty standard here if you have a standard contract, so no freelance, no contractor, no off the books, etc. (230 work days might be closer to the average, I got +10 days of holidays for thermal treatment, to cure my chronic sinusitis, yes, we have that too and the State also pays for the treatments)

Which is not exactly a "few weeks".

Could be better, but could be US style or Japan style.

p.s. the law in japan just forces employers out of work at least for a few days to counter their extreme workaholic culture, which is nothing like what we have here in Europe.

From Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_minimum_annual_leave_b...)

Minimum mandatory paid vacation days, normalized for a five-day workweek:

Japan: 6–10 days

My Country: 23–28 days

And you can make a custom shortcut that runs a brightness to zero script as well, that should work!
I'll take 5x the salary over a measly 20 extra vacation days any day, thanks. 70k a year for a highly skilled software dev is an absolute joke.

At least that allows me to generate wealth and retire 20-30 years sooner compared to your average German.
Honestly I wouldn’t know. As stated before, the only propaganda I see, read and accept is from CNN.
Maybe, but the input in 2055 will be more something in the form of continuous/realtime data input streams.

This is a deal braker for me, handling official documents is a normal thing normal people have to do every day.

My understanding is that in almost all cases, communes that were established in the US during the 1960s devolved into leadership by the most sociopathic, rather than a true community governance. I suspect the resulting backlash is why we in the US aren't attracted to the idea.
Personal data has a very wide definition under GDPR:

>‘personal data’ means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person;

An IP address, or an email address is personal data. Even a pseudonym or a session ID is personal data. Yes, having a log for security purposes (GDPR recital 49) captures personal data (even just access dates and requested URLs may be considered to be personal data). Yes, a comment section on a blog may capture personal data.

Once again, I'm fine with all of this. But ignoring GDPR by not capturing personal data is more complex that it might seem.
I beg you, please don't speak with such certainty about definitions which you're not certain of, particularly when you've already been corrected. Take the opportunity to learn something new. Dragonwriter is using exactly the definition that people who work in this area use.

My copy of the red dragon book defines a compiler as a program for translating from one language to another. A translator from source to bytecode clearly meets this definition. If you have a problem with that definition then you're on pretty shaky ground since you're essentially making the argument that you know more about this sort of thing than Aho, Lam, Sethi and Ullman.

The distinction between a compiler and an interpreter is most clearly illustrated by old school (pre-JIT) java, where javac is clearly a compiler which translates Java source to Java bytecode (language -> language) and the java executable itself which interprets bytecode.

That distinction still exists in most interpreted language implementations, though not all. Python being a good example. It has a compiler which translates source to bytecode and an interpreter which executes the bytecode. They just both exist in the same program but crucially it certainly includes a compiler.

>> the Plasma debacle

> I'm not familiar with it. Can you elaborate?

Plasma was introduced as the name for KDE's actual DE component (distinct from apps and frameworks) with KDE 4, a major version which was released too early in development and alienated many users due to bugs and missing features compared to KDE 3, hence the "debacle".

youtube-dl is not maintained but not very active because is stable.

yt-dlp uses youtube-dl as a core, so if something breaks still needs to go to the youtube-dl and fix it.

multi-sig addresses one aspect of the problem but not everything. The underlying problem is that the system is brittle rather than robust, and multisig only helps with a specific challenge (“I don’t want a single key loss to lose everything, but don’t want to make copies of the same key”). It doesn’t help with many common scenarios: “I was compromised”, “my employee abused access to my keys”, “someone made a typo in a transfer”, “I am choosing not to comply with a court order”, “our CFO died unexpectedly”, etc.

Contrast this with how easily this could have been resolved in the financial systems which are actually used and you get an immediate appreciation of how valuable it is to have a way to handle human error in systems used by humans.

hoc diagnosis. In the last 2 years I’ve seen 3 20-somethings with a few days of flu symptoms having used a virtual walk in clinic service before coming to the ER (this is Canada where primary care is mostly non-existent) that had APL (highly treatable) and ended up dying within a few hours from DIC and intracranial hemorrhage (not treatable and how they ended up in my neck of the woods).

There’s still something to be said for the physical exam and eyeball test.

Obviously there’s a large element of survivorship bias at play here but I don’t believe the solution for poor primary care is to accept it will always be shitty and substitute a LLM.
> Also, I can't just get fired without cause. And if I do get laid off, I have 3 months of grace period, plus potentially years of unemployment money.

Which causes companies to be very slow in hiring people, because if business turns they have less flexibility. European countries have some of the highest (youth) unemployment rates in the OECD:

This is what democratic backsliding looks like. Each side believes the other is escalating and trying to seize absolute power, and so each side escalates in response. There's never, ever a "good" side in backsliding countries. Just participants who don't believe the other is willing to play by any rules, and therefore seek a game theoretic optimum, which means defecting. Institutional neutrality is always a casualty.
Ya it's an interesting economic puzzle, given the unique nature of the airline business.

I think ultimately the incentives work out to exactly where we are, airlines will simply ban travelers from their services when skiplagging is discovered.

There's no reason to offer services to travelers who pay less.

You ahve it backwards - you Must include a USB-C chsrging port. No-one is banning you from having additional ports, the EC comission aren't cretins. And so Macbook already complies, I only charge mine from USB-C.

Not a couple of tons, thousands and thousands of tons. A rocket to move any significant mass of waste to the sun (far more delta-v than getting to the moon, or escaping the solar system), without decades-long journeys [1] would make Saturn V and Starship look like toys, or if would be a very complex asssemble-in-orbit deal.

[1] you can use gravity assists like the Parker Solar Probe, or go very, very far out, make a small adjustment and then fall back in for about 1/3 the total delta-v, which is still a rather large amount.

It's just the beginning, still optimization and some figuring out to do.

This fork is based on karpathy's llama.c and we try to mirror its progress and add our patches to it to add performance, be binary portable or run as unikernel. However there is a catch, this doesn't currently infer the 7b or bigger meta llama 2 models yet. It's too slow and memory consuming.

My plan is to get to a stage where we can actually infer larger models at a comfortable speed like llama.cpp / ggml does, add GPU acceleration along the way.

Also this doesn't have a web api, I'll be adding that in the next update, then it would actually make sense to deploy it on a server to test it out.

Right now you would have to manually spawn vm instances with qemu like this:

qemu-system-x86_64 -m 256m -accel kvm -kernel L2E_qemu-x86_64

or

qemu-system-x86_64 -m 256m -accel kvm -kernel L2E_qemu-x86_64 -nographic

and that's not very practical especially as there is no web api yet. So see this more as a tech preview - release early release often thing.

Yeah as I'll get time, I'll be adding a build for firecracker and also write instructions to spawn 100's of baby llama 2 kvm qemu / firecracker builds on a powerful server.

Thank you for your interest. As per your suggestion, a comprehensive howto is planned. Feel free to add any issue / wants / suggestions to https://github.com/trholding/llama2.c , I'll address those as I get time.

I'm stuck with bigger IRL projects, but if there is deep interest from the community I'll be sure to spend more time on this.

A kindle is excellent to read eBooks, and that's about it.

An iPad (or tablet form factor) is excellent for consuming content on the internet, which includes eBooks amongst movies, reels, articles, blogs, news etc.

I've got a paper white and while the browser on it is decent, and you can email yourself PDF's to view on there - it's still a subpar experience for anything that isn't formatted to display as an eBook on an e-ink display.

Don't get me wrong, I love reading on my kindle and it's far easier on the eyes, but it doesn't do what an iPad does in the same way reading a book on the iPad is more tiresome than on a kindle.

Fine. What I disagree with is the "select on hover" part, however. Moving a pointing device should not trigger any action by itself*. Make a checkbox appear next to every selectable item (as it's an option in both KDE Dolphin and Windows' Explorer) and we're good. Maybe long-clicking could be an option too, albeit less discoverable.

(*) What if I just want to get to another window: should I route around and think about avoiding triggerable elements? What if my hand slips and a bunch of items are selected as a result? Would a delay be needed? What about touchscreens? It seems a fundamentally bad idea, and a much worse accessibility problem than double-clicking.

The USA is a continent sized country where the federal government doesn't control the individual states. State governments control things like PTO so the more liberal a state then the more likely you are to have socialist policies. Yes, PTO is a socialist policy. Right wing states see these types of control as anti-capitalist so the old "reds under the bed" still has a foundation to thrive in. Right wing states don't want any type of workers' rights as it drives up costs and allows labor to organize. Those all impact the capitalist ability to make money as any type of rights cost companies money.

Even outside of vacation I also have a pretty relaxed work/life balance.
