Kubrick took quite an interest in perfecting all aspects of his films.

https://collider.com/stanley-kubrick-the-shining-scene-guinn...:

“Stanley Kubrick movies are notorious for having multiple takes. One instance is in Eyes Wide Shut, when Tom Cruise's Dr. Bill Hartford walks through a door. He just walks through a door. That's it. 95 times Cruise walked through the same door. It is not surprising, then, to know that the Guinness World Record for "Most Retakes for One Scene With Dialogue" belongs to Kubrick's The Shining with a whopping 148 takes.”

One of the actors in that scene was a kid.

Another example is (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Lyndon#Cinematography):

“After "tinker[ing] with different combinations of lenses and film stock," the production obtained three super-fast 50mm lenses (Carl Zeiss Planar 50mm f/0.7) developed by Zeiss for use by NASA in the Apollo Moon landings, which Kubrick had discovered. These super-fast lenses "with their huge aperture (the film actually features the lowest f-stop in film history) and fixed focal length" were problematic to mount, and were extensively modified into three versions by Cinema Products Corp. for Kubrick to gain a wider angle of view, with input from optics expert Richard Vetter of Todd-AO. The rear element of the lens had to be 2.5 mm away from the film plane, requiring special modification to the rotating camera shutter. This allowed Kubrick and Alcott to shoot scenes lit in candlelight to an average lighting volume of only three candela, "recreating the huddle and glow of a pre-electrical age."”
I was lately playing Disgaea PC, which unlike a lot of games these days, has good text FAQs like

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/pc/183289-disgaea-pc/faqs/2623...

and thought about a question I'd thought about for a while which is extracting facts from that sort of thing and one notable thing is that certain named entities appear over and over throughout the document (say "Cave of Ordeal") and how both attention and compression-based approaches can draw a line between those occurrences.
One thing I appreciate about apple is that when you subscribe to services through them and immediately cancel you are allowed to retain the service for the remainder of the period. I now will utilize that heavily; I am okay with paying $4 or whatever for 1 month of an app I will use for a bit knowing I can cancel it right now and it will just stop working when my time is up. If I need more, I can buy more. I think amazon does it as well at least with network video subscriptions.

Although in true apple fashion this does not apply to their own services trial periods as far as I’ve tried. If you pay for a month of Apple Music and cancel within the free week they’ll just turn it off immediately and never charge you. Not sure if they do that during the actual month

So now I refuse to subscribe to anything unless there’s an intermediary that will allow me to quickly and painlessly cancel. iCloud subscriptions or Amazon account will let me do it with a button click. Whereas in my experience canceling directly with the company in question is often a nightmare
A lot of people are using RunPod for experimental/small-scale workloads. They have good network and disk speeds and you can generally find availability for a latest-gen GPU like an L40 or 4090 if your workload can fit on a single GPU. One GPU is plenty for fine-tuning Llama 2 7B or 13B with LoRA or QLoRA. They also sometimes have availability for multi-GPU servers like 8xA100s, but that's more hit-or-miss.

If you want to go even cheaper vast.ai is a popular option. It's a P2P marketplace for individuals to rent out their GPUs. You can generally get a ~20-30% discount vs RunPod prices by using Vast, but network speeds and perf are much more variable and there's always the possibility that the host will just shut you off without warning. I also wouldn't recommend using it if you're training with proprietary data since they can't guarantee the host isn't logging it, but most of the OSS fine-tuning community publishes their datasets anyway.
once your in the air you are effectively detained.

a large number of situations, contrived or otherwise, can result in emergency diversions.

you may want to be sure a connecting flight is legitimate when travelling in 'suspect' regions.

this would be high profile kidnapping, but a source of non SEA persons, that would be more convincing, and a source of international ransom revenues, espescially if they were also accused of some crime.

The paper spends several pages discussing this.

Note: the security barrier (the cylindrical mesh) rotates; the HSM inside the cylinder does not. So you must not just get your robot past the mesh, you must in fact modify the mesh (which is in motion) so that it thinks it is still moving, and then halt the motion of the mesh.

Until you do this, the mesh and the payload are in different (edit: possibly-non-)intertial reference frames.
But humans infected the white tailed deer, and guess what when humans passed on SARS2 to different species it did not suddenly stop circulating within humans which seems to have been the case with SARS2. For SARS2 we have a single spillover event hundreds of miles away from the nearest SARS reservoir and then some how the strain that was circulating in whatever intermediate host it may have come from simply vanished! Despite being so extremely infectious SARS2's spillover seems to be a case of an immaculate infection!

But like virgin births, I find immaculate infections to be implausible.
Yes and if the sun blinks out tomorrow that will be the biggest effect of all. Remind me again why that is worth talking about, other than to distract and detract from a discussion of climate change?

I doubt this. Hackernews still has a disproportionately large number of principled libertarians like me. I've personally gone on kiwifarms twice, both times triggered by a big hackernews story.

You know what would counter disinformation? Links to analysis of kiwifarms with methodology and citations. E.g. what proportion of threads (from, say, a random sample of 20) contain doxxing on the first page?

Edit: I've now done this. Looks like about 25%. Damn, that's high.

Its called sacrifice. Enduring inconvenience or discomfort in favor of some greater cause.

That’s not to say everyone should have kids or feel this way. But it’s ridiculous to suggest some people just like video games, or traveling, and others like missing work deadlines to care for their sick child (or everything else that goes with raising kids).
> if this is a violation you'd see it in courts but it's not because there's no case

Not every violation needs to be pursued in civil court. It's not even possible -- the courts would melt down and stop operating, or they'd raise their fees to the point of reducing caseload. "No lawsuit" does not imply "no case".
You're right, framing the discussion around a "more fulfilling" life can limit other important aspects. People are highly complex. Ultimately I think the choice to raise a child comes down to an alignment with a huge set values and circumstances which are the result of countless factors.
False! It took MONTHS to find an intermediate host for both SARS and MERS.

SARS1 they found infected civet cats with an almost identical virus within a few months:

>”Civet cats, a raccoon dog, and a ferret badger in an animal market in Gunagdong, China, were infected with a coronavirus identical to the one that causes SARS in humans save for an extra 29-nucleotide sequence" which demonstrated that these animals had a very close ancestral virus circulating within their populations.

Source: https://zenodo.org/record/3949022#.Y9hn9uzMJqs.

For MERS it took a little longer since by the time they discovered it in dromedary camels only 500 people were infected. But they still found it in less than a year!

My 2019 MBP literally burned my fingertips if I used it while doing software development in the summer.
Yeah, I agree. I see a ton of Rider screenshots on projects, videos, presentation slides these days and I imagine those are almost all Mac users.
Same! One path forward with Open Interpreter is to make a "self-writing Jupyter notebook" with the same UI as Jupyter— edit code, rearrange it, export as a py, etc. Any thoughts on how you'd do that deeper notebook/LLM integration, or what it might need?
Scrum includes retrospectives - they exist to change the process. If the process cannot be changed then it's not scrum.

OTOH when you're starting out it takes some time to find out what works and a scrum master will probably want to make you try to stick to the basics until you've given them a chance. Most people cannot see the point of one part or another until it has helped them personally once. After a while the team should be able to have a rotating scrum master - one of the team for a sprint.

Sure, nothing wrong with a simple server-side stack. But even then, you probably wouldn't write it (today) by spinning up Microsoft SQL Server on a bare-metal machine so that your sysadmin can maintain its records with MS Access, then writing a bespoke CMS by creating your own prepared SQL statements from scratch, all while making sure your designer knows Frontpage and that you have a WAP version ready to roll out soon.

It's not that the principles are invalid these days, but that the specific examples and techniques mentioned in that text are now often done with different tooling. Significantly, a lot the low-level stuff has also been replaced with higher-level, industry-standard abstractions (which embody many standard best practices that might otherwise take an individual years to learn and polish), building upon the lessons and mistakes learned over the decades. This text doesn't really clarify what is a long-lasting architectural principle and what was just a fashion trend of the day and now obsolete.

Realistically, I think new devs coming into the field these days are likely to first encounter those abstractions (whether it's HTMX or Next) before understanding the history of why they exist (and what their tradeoffs are). Those architectural tradeoffs are important to learn at some point, but usually those decisions are not left to the newcomers (in a sane company) and also should be taught in the context of modern tooling and decisions, not software that was common two decades ago.

Like important questions these days might be (as you said) what do we do on the server vs client JS (or rehydration), what do we outsource to a cloud (which clouds?), what do we containerize or not, how do we deal with HTTPS and mobile and cross-platform (web/iOS/Android), etc. Not "what is the best log parser for Apache" or "should we use MS SQL because it works better with Access". In some companies, it might also be "which off-the-shelf CMS best fits our use case" vs "Is C# or Java or more appropriate for our backend?"

If someone wants to take the time to highlight the specific, still-relevant sections of that text, I think it could be worthwhile. But otherwise, without that differentiation, it's just kinda a minefield for newcomers.
I don't think calling it a "pricing structure" is really fair. It was a subscription program (Google's own words) that they stopped.

> Pixel Pass All in One Subscription Program

> Pixel Pass combines your phone and Google-powered services all in one monthly price. Upgrade every two years. Get a new Pixel after two years and continue

While it's not a software service, I think most people consider subscription programs a "service", in the classical sense.
Linux wins hands down, it always has.
Too bad. Loved VS Code.

Ok, well, I'm not doing JetBrains. Too fucking slow and costs money. I would renew my license if it was not such a slow set of IDEs.

Like, how many fucking times does a program need to index before starting? One time I counted, it felt like it indexed like 5 times before I could type.

The money is the least of my problems, but VSCode was unbeatable. Fast, versatile and free. I'm happy to pay for good software and I already do. Like TablePlus for example.

Maybe I should look to vim or neovim.

EDIT: whoops. I totally didn't read. Ok I rescind my comment. Mea culpa. I'm an idiot.
Scrum fails when it is formalized and run Cargo-Cult style. "We must do all of these steps as in The Book." If you understand the reasons for the steps, and instead incorporate the function in the day-to-day activities, values, and norms of the team you get the benefits with very few drawbacks. But yes, you're no longer a "true Scotsman" doing "real Scrum."

Consultants suck the meat off the bones and resell the skeleton, then management wonders why the specimen doesn't appear to be the genuine animal.
Thank you. i will take your advice.
I don't know that the consumer expenses for dining out rise to the same level of importance as those for internet service in the digital world. On the luxury/need spectrum, the former is decidedly on the luxury side while the latter is increasingly on the need side.

That being said, I am curious what cities/regions or restaurant types you see this happening at. I don't think I've ever encountered anything like that where I live (southeast) except for things like the customary mandatory 18% gratuity for parties of 6 or more.
> Size of the wheels don’t make an SUV

I was half joking because there is no clear definition of what it is.

The name do not translate, most SUV aren't sporty nor utilitary. At least they are vehicles.

Wheel size? you said it, all are growing bigger and bigger yeat after year regardless of category.

off-road capability? nope

ground clearance? nope, a tesla model Y or that new Kia sit closer to the ground than many non SUV.

hatchback shape? nope, there are now SUV coupe, concertibles, and some will rank pickup trucks in the SUV category.

how high are the driver/passenger seated? nope again, some vans are higher.

I think what now caracterize a SUV isn't even a combination of these variables but more a tag from the brands marketing team and a general perception based on the car looking vaguely more boxy and bulbeous than other models of the same brand.

Using a common carrier for business is different from purchasing reserved quotas from them and then reselling the access. I can see how it isn’t clear when taken to the extreme, but there’s got to be some balance otherwise a carrier could just resell 100% of the bandwidth to some subsidiary to launder it. I don’t know the answer but this at least seems like a pretty big loophole if it were allowed.

I think you can pretty clearly mentally separate a derivative service originating from a leased common line and Hallmark accepting internet orders.
Seems to require Tensorflow. That makes it basically irrelevant?
Thank you so much for your work and enthusiasm here!! Unfortunately, that’s roughly the best way to approach it and how most of these have worked so far, demonstrations on smaller models (e.g. 7/13B), with slightly smaller datasets, catching the eye of the community, etc. in general it’s not a bad approach to research too, prove out concepts at smaller scale before scaling up!
I imagine it is mostly back end devs using Macs though.
This debuging and hacking kind of remind me of Windows, and dealing with various versions of drivers, service packs, and so on.

Normal sane Linux user would just force resolution into bootloader, and create global xorg.conf. There are like 10 far easier ways to solve this problem.
I don't know why people are surprised by this. All of these cards that offer rewards have to be paid for some how. The rewards system has always seemed like a loss leader type of situation to attract new customers. I guess it finally caught up to them
You aren't looking very hard
Not "everyone", and even those that haven't aren't retrofitting their existing cars. I suspect it's years before you start seeing those cars on the road, and at least as long before you start seeing charging networks upgrade their current stations.
> Are you even required to pay that?

One sad part of the situation is that even if you aren't required to do something, it can result in you being completely banned from said business's services under the idea that they can refuse service to someone for any reason.
With the business model nowadays mostly being franchises, a ban from an entire subset of businesses can be a substantial burden for someone, especially if the business takes up a large part of the market.

Edit: Not to say this will necessarily happen in this circumstance, but it is a very real possibility when refusing to work with certain businesses.
You could at least read enough of an article to know that it's not talking about VSCode.

Sure, that means those companies could impersonate users to jit.si, but that would be quite something, so I suspect they wouldn't -- at least for now. So you might trust jit.si with your meetings even though you might not trust Google with your meetings even if you trust Google for authenticating you to jit.si.
exactly this. I see it as this: over or under engineering can basically be boiled down to requirements and budget (which is itself a requirement, but many engineers don't seem to see it that way).

over engineering is anticipating for future requirements that aren't ever realized, or realized so far in the future that upfront cost outweighed the cost of putting it off for later. under engineering is not anticipating for future requirements that are realized before their cost outweighs the cost it would have taken to implement them upfront. somewhere there is a line, and on both sides you wasted money. if you perfectly engineered something, you spent the money optimally. in this industry, the idea you could perfect that is laughable. it's either over, or under engineered.

reading a blog post gives you fuck-all for insight into a project or team's actual budget and requirements. driving by and shouting "over engineered" is a very clear sign of lack of experience, and one of the most uninteresting things you can add to a conversation about a company _literally starting their own bank from nothing_.

so, OP, how would you under engineer your bank?
I think originally woke was shorthand for anti-racist (I don’t mind being corrected on this since I am not American). Unfortunately the term did not reach the UK in good enough time to be properly encoded in our Oxford English Dictionary and as a result the usage has gone rampant become diffuse! The meaning now seems to be converging on "I don’t agree with .".

Generally western laws would view caste-based discrimination as illegal and wrong. So, it would correct for an individual to express the same opinion in the West, even if that opinion disturbs the ideas and beliefs of a subset of the population attached to someone else’s culture.

It’s not a mistake. VSCode will absolutely catch up if it hasn’t already.

Visual Studio for Mac (Xamarin) was already a really niche product with limited appeal. Microsoft bought the company to bring more of the .NET ecosystem under its umbrella. The problem is, the .NET ecosystem is increasingly irrelevant.

Why have yet another IDE when all the .NET specific stuff can live in an extension? VSCode is the most popular editor on the planet and it deserves that status.

I don’t think Microsoft is all that concerned about the survival of .NET. Cloud computing is where the money is. The new business model is that developers write the apps however they want and deploy to Azure.
>>> I can't believe that anyone who has seen "Full Metal Jacket" would be enthused about going to war.

I don't know. I'm definitely not blaming the film or its maker. But I can't deny that is does kind of awaken a fantasy in me. I have never been involved in any military, but a part of me has always wanted to be transformed like the men in that film.

The thing is, when I imagine being in the story, I don't see myself like Private Pyle or Cowboy. Their stories don't discourage me. So I do wonder if Kubrick missed the mark by making a film that horrified him but actually inspires others. Maybe there's just something wrong with me. Even Platoon has an allure to it. Even Barnes was a hero in some ways. I could be like Barnes without the evil parts.

Apocalypse Now on the other hand, now there's a movie to kill recruitment if ever there was one. There's literally no upside in that movie and very few characters have any redeeming qualities.
"Separately, the order said the FCC rejected a wireless-industry "request to include potentially complex and lengthy details about data allowances on the label, and instead affirm that providers can make those details available to consumers on a linked website." To maintain simplicity, the labels must "identify the amount of data included with the monthly price," and "disclose any charges or reductions in service for any data used in excess of the amount included in the plan," the FCC said."

Good.

Was just talking about this on the "Why did Python win?" thread, but I think there's just a fundamental divide between IDE people and text editor people. Text editor people buy Macs so they can use a POSIX command line with a nice windowed UI. They use VS Code or maybe vim. IDE people want full VS (or IntelliJ) and they both run better on less expensive Windows machines. I think the target demos for OSX and Visual Studio just don't overlap enough.
