These planes look very much like typical low-cost homemade RC planes. People use cheap foam sheets instead of cardboard usually, but the techniques are very similar - packing tape for hinges on steering surfaces, mounting the wings with posickle sticks & rubber, wings made by bending rectangular sheets over the spars and glueing them, etc :)
They're saying it's a LLaMA-2 7B model, but I assume it's heavily quantized (Q2 or Q3 are mostly likely) because if it's got to fit in 8GB of RAM, it's going to need to be. Q2 and Q3 quantized models will require somewhere between 5 and 6GB of RAM). They might be able to go as high as a Q5 if they have extremely low overhead for the rest of the tooling (up to Q5 may fit in as little as 7GB).

Performance is going to be...poor. I would expect this to be less than 1 token a second.

Human evolution science keeps expanding for the longest time it was thought Africa was the origin. It is seeming more like a global phenomenon as time passes. I have said this a lot. Don't look at Earth from today's lens, look at it from the 900k years ago lens. What animals were around, what sort of animals we hunted and sought after. How communities were formed and how we were able to safely breed. The answer is less complicated, we had a lot of closely genetic relatives all over the planet which we reproduced with creating a various diverse human race. And we is as in past caveman like ancestors. I am not refuting the earliest ancestors found in Africa, I am just pointing out it is easier to find ancestral sites from an undeveloped part of the world.

Even China has dug fossils of ancient humans, but we have yet to really put that to study.

However again Africa is the perfect place to find the ancient human origins because it has had less human development in terms of civilization than the rest of the world.
Why overcomplicate it? It’s money gifted for a good cause — charity.
The “major players” post the vast majority of their investments because they’re advertising their funds to potential limited partners. It also publicly signaling the strength of the companies they invest in which improves their outcomes through ease of negotiating future business agreements with potential customers and partners.

Or, more likely, at one point a mutation, or a group of mutations, gave rise to a small number of super-cheetahs that interbred, and those cheetahs completely out-competed all other cheetahs until the remaining standard cheetahs, that had been enslaved rebelled under the cheetah Spartacus, overwhelming and eradicating the super-cheetahs using the super-cheetah's own aircraft and other weapons, though even in victory leaving only a small number of normal ones to continue the species.

That's the most important thing I took away from this article.

The kid did something stupid and it almost ruined his life because he almost got onto a plane that would have taken him to the FBI & US justice system.

Instead local authorities got a hold of him and he learned a vocation waiting for a trial (programming) & having shown he was willing to be a functional member of society, he received a few years of probation.

In the US the FBI would have put him on trial for the absurdly high $250M hacking theft and spent a decade or more in jail.

> Anyone have an idea of the reasons terraform needs a 370 MiB binary just to call REST APIs?

That's because Terraform fell for the Go trap. When space and bandwidth are cheap, why not go for an environment that only ships fully self contained binaries? Oh, and why not go for a language that attracts hipsters like fruits attract flies, but is a nightmare to develop in?

Bloody ridiculous, it's a miracle Terraform got as far as it did.

(Yes, I'm working with Terraform every day and it's pretty decent but I'd love to extend it for Atlassian Cloud stuff without having to add a sixth language to my already sized toolbelt. Why Atlassian doesn't offer Terraform integration on their own is beyond me in any case)

It’s more like emacs-flavored RPC. You can edit files on remote hosts using TRAMP, and you can transparently execute processes on the remote host. If you’re editing a remote file and invoke, say, a compiler it will transparently run the compiler on the remote host against the remote file.
Tangent on this, The virtual cards sound great on paper but in practice if you get a compromised virtual card number you still have to cancel your main CC and start over which is stupid IMO. They told me since the virtual card number was tied to the CC you still have to change both which negates the benefits of having the virtual card numbers in the first place.
No, the ~$55k the GP was referring to isn’t the median household income (which is about $70k), but an annualization of the median weekly pay for full-time employed workers. Which would be the same as the median individual income (at least wage/salary income) if every person was employed full-time for the whole year. Which, of course, is very much not the case.

Pre AI today it seems like we’re in some weird place where IQ scores are dropping in ways that don’t match the Flynn effect and people like Bryan Caplan argue that education is just virtue signalling to gain access to higher status and paying bullshit jobs (David Graeber). Everyone here talks about how real that is in the world of whiteboard interviews and rest and vesters. It seems pretty true elsewhere in the world of white collar nepotism.

What are we really educating kids for these days? To have advantage over other kids because we have no fair meritocratic way to allocate resources or meaning in society?

Won’t AI just make this infinitely worse.

Like, one vision is more teachers and more students learning better, and another is less teachers and more baby sitters and lower government budgets for education leaving students with the equivalent of an automated telephone answering service menu instead of a real human call centre?

That’s a potential problem with UBI. Prices could inflate to a level where if you want food you better get a job. Ultimately, UBI doesn’t create more resources in an economy - it just makes more nominal cash flow through it. Not to mention that the capitalistic imperative to maximise capital growth will definitely take advantage of a cash-rich market.

And this is a problem because what happens to those who then don’t qualify for UBI? How would they be able to afford the bare necessities? Withdrawing UBI from someone could mean banishing them from the economy, to a socioeconomic class of unimaginable deprivation (“cannot afford water nor food, nor any shelter, nor clothes” type of deprivation).
As one of the other commentators mentioned, it's not that kind of simulation. It's similar to looking at electron shells in an atom, where you don't simulate the motion of an electron from a start point to an end point, but can predict bulk properties of energy states, eg that radiation of a particular wavelength will excite the system to another state, and we should see absorbtion an emission spectra from those effects (and this is how you get lasers, and detect the composition of stars, and so on). Analogously in nuclei you get gamma radiation spectra, and statistical predictions about other phenomena.

The numerical stability issues I complained about are inherent due to the accumulation of floating point errors in the Lanczos algorithm. You just end up with completely junk results. (so, you work with double precision all the time, chewing more memory). We do have some "initial conditions" in the calculation, in that the lanczos algorithm is repeatedly applying a matrix to a vector that represents state occupancies; but if this was numerically stable it wouldn't much matter what initial vector you chose (I can't remember if ours used (1,0,0...0) or 1/root(N)*(1,1,...,1))

I'm not a lawyer, but my understanding is the Supreme Court overturned affirmative action for schools not for companies. Race discrimination for jobs quite possibly violates the Civil Rights Act of 1964 though.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission seems to indicate it would illegal [1]

> It is unlawful to discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race or color in regard to hiring, termination, promotion, compensation, job training, or any other term, condition, or privilege of employment. Title VII also prohibits employment decisions based on stereotypes and assumptions about abilities, traits, or the performance of individuals of certain racial groups

I would note that they may not actually be violating the law if those organizations allow other races into them. I skimmed their websites and didn't see anything that says only Hispanics and blacks can join. The Hispanic one even said they are inclusive so who knows? If other races are allowed to join those organizations I highly doubt it would be illegal.

It would be nice if these companies stopped being racist regardless of the legality.

Most commonly used languages are available on all platforms. Together with the vast cornucopia of their libraries. So if I want to develop on a Mac or Windows, as is common, native versions are available for either of them.

For who target Linux as deployment platform, as is common, Docker instead forces to run the Linux version of interpreters and libraries on a Mac or Windows. On top of a Linux mini VM. Could not be otherwise?

I have a few different perspectives on this.

When I was at Travelocity a million years ago I was involuntarily reassigned from a design job to a developer job. I had to teach myself how to program. I did horrible that first year and got a horrible annual review. Then came the economic disaster of 2008 mortgage crisis following on the tail of $4/gallon of gasoline fuel crisis. Mass layoffs followed and a ton of people were pushed out the door. Not me. As a front end developer I was essential and hard to replace. This was before jQuery and giant frameworks that did your job for you. You just had to be vaguely competent and nothing was going to do it for you.

I have noticed in hiring compatibility is more important than competence. For example you could be a brilliant developer who solves amazing problems and delivers greater value than entire teams of developers. At most corporate employers those are talking points for late in an interview after you have survived resume death and leet code filtration. Far more important is whether you can write Java like a fresh college grad with 30 seconds of experience. Shortages can happen when nobody wants to work in that kind of environment or when prospective employers dismiss talent looking for something that resembles the interests of that Java loving fresh college grad but with 10+ years of experience doing actually important things. We can call that poor expectation management, bias, or misery looking for company.

Sometimes employers hire people just because they need bodies in seats. They need people pounding on keyboards typing things because there is menial work to be done. These people do serve a purpose, but they are expendable. Easy to hire is easy to fire. You can still have critical shortages of people who actually write original software, which is confusing when everybody has the same title and gets paid roughly the same.

> The issue is, what do you mean?

It would simply mean the time which is intended. It’s true that the instant isn’t known until it happens (or however much leeway precedes a TZ change). It’s generally always better to record intent, than to be smart and translate inputs to something else.

To map to a specific instant in UTC time, you use the string plus a db. The db can change in the future, and that’s ok. You simply update in the presentation layer in case you have any “2h left” strings or calendar entries. Note you should NOT store the mapped instance in a db before the event has occurred (and even then it’s unnecessary since it’s fixed).

I really don’t like the “inconsistent” mutable property and agree with parent that offset should not be part of the format. That would make it extremely easy to overlook or misuse.

Perhaps I’m missing something?
> Problem the feds tend to have is imposing universal rules on an economically diverse country.

Federal policy can and does (not usually in individual-related rules like minimum wage and salary thresholds, but that’s a choice, not a fundamental barrier) take state and local economic conditions into account.
Yes, I know, that's the whole point. The mistakes that most people (including yourself) are attributing to the dots, are actually usually caused by human carelessness -- spelling errors, mixing up gmail with hotmail, "dave" instead of "david" etc.

The top level headline doesn't really address the interesting bit. The subhead is:

The interesting bit is Apple directly responding to the advocacy group:

> “Scanning every user’s privately stored iCloud data would create new threat vectors for data thieves to find and exploit," Neuenschwander wrote. "It would also inject the potential for a slippery slope of unintended consequences. Scanning for one type of content, for instance, opens the door for bulk surveillance and could create a desire to search other encrypted messaging systems across content types.”

I've never heard p-series called mainframe, and while it's been a while, I've both used and sold them ( as a side effect of that company's app often being sold bundled with a p-series )

While there's technically overlap in performance between the lowest spec Z and the higher end P, and these days lots of performance overlap between P and X ranges, P-series is called "midrange" by everyone I've every met.

The Power hardware has been the basis for both the AS-400 and P-Series/AIX line for a long time now, although you can buy p-series with linux too.

As an asside, AIX, with the exception of its volume manager which irks me deeply, is an incredibly usable Unix.. I mean you can really manage the whole thing via the SMIT UI without ever touching the command line. Not my preference, but you can. Some things, like cpu usage reporting are still better on AIX ( core utilisation via hyperthreads for example )

I'm still not a fan as such, mostly I'm annoyed by how good it is, but credit where credit is due.

Of course there are some people, (usually older but not always), who will call any server, or anything in a server room "the mainframe", in the same way the any desktop tower gets called "the cpu" (technically correct via some broader definitions but still..), or they'll call whichever office app they primarily use as "Microsoft", and of course you need to take that into account when communicating with people, the the incorrect usage of mainframe seems pretty rare these days just because mainframes themselves are rare.. and people in businesses who have them generally can distinguish.
