No, sorry for any confusion: since this codebase is designed to be a showcase of how awesome programming in Rama is but it has (as the author claimed) 10k lines, then I would imagine an interested reader would want to know how does one use Rama's API to do Mastodon stuff, and skip past the Spring plumbing bits that are not Rama-ized (AFAIK)

Thus, I found some of the .whatever("*awesome") looking code down in the guts of the backend module but since there is no other obvious tour of how the Rama works in this codebase, I thought I would draw the reader's attention to the interesting bits

As for your other product related questions, that'd be much better as a top-level comment so nathanmarz can reply to them
Do you think there is a reason they are getting away with ignoring the rules? Maybe you could too - just ask the neighbours first?
Actually, electric heat and hot water in the US is frequently running off the 240 volt circuits too, as well as electric ranges, electric clothes dryers, pretty much anything that takes a lot of power. These items use various standards of plugs and receptacles and the circuits are usually rated to 30 amps (peak).

The US 120 volt, 15amp plugs are pretty much just for things you plug in and other light duty equipment. For anything serious, you can wire up a 120v20amp outlet or even the 240v 30amp circuit.
The public square had a very minimal reach. If you wanted to reach significant numbers of people you had to pay or get a sponsor.
Microsoft don't really want consumers to use Windows on the home desktop anymore. If your home desktop is not Windows, or you don't even have a home desktop, you'll have to keep data in cloud services. Guess what MS sells now...?

If for any reason you're stuck with Windows at home, congratulations - you're officially a whale to milk. This attitude is not entirely new (there were glimpses, back in the early 2000/XP days, before the need to get rid of 2000 resulted in XP getting a cleanup), but now it fits perfectly with MS business model.
Yeah weight also has all sorts of knock on effects on other components. Suspension, tires, brakes, frame all need to get beefed up for extra weight and/or wear quicker.
Heroic Launcher does a great job of getting GoG products working on Linux with minimal effort.
Sounds like that movie from the 1980's - "COCCOON"
Possibly. But I think from the legal point of view it could be much more direct “I’m doing this to break the license” approach, where it can viewed as them try to freeload off up to date work. For older version they had some possible explanation that they just used an API.

INAL.
I don’t think it necessarily implies a barrel processor. More like a higher count for SMT which could be due to the higher CPU performance relative to the CPU <> memory bandwidth. While the slow fetches occur, the system could execute more instructions for other threads in parallel.
Start saying 'No'.
Let's take India as an example:

1) They clearly are able to tolerate being locked out of the internet at least in limited fashion, this is regularly being used to control domestic protests.: https://internetshutdowns.in/

2) If an external party imposes a constraint on a nationalistic government the govt can use this external attack to help bind their country together.
Yea. Honestly there's nothing worse than getting a "Sorry, as an AI language model, I cannot do..."

This is especially awful when you're asking it to do something like "estimate the number of X in Y" or some task that it could clearly help with. I know exactly why they do this, its the safe option... but it is frustrating to deal with.
Not sure how kids are supposed to sleep at night with this future looming.

Yes, but "preemptive" sounds so aggressive. We prefer the term "alternative cooperation".
It ultimately depends on what the student is doing I think. If you are just writing papers, doing research, taking notes. Just use an iPad. Maybe get a keyboard to attache to it.

Obviously if you are going for programming thats an exception but thats not everyone.

Most people that I know do the vast majority of their computing tasks on their phones. I think it's very telling that apps like Threads launched first as an app and the website came later.

Gaming is basically the exception for most people that I know.

You might be able to argue that some of these tasks are better on a PC, but is it worth it if you already have a tablet or you just want fewer devices.

And again to be clear, I am talking about a personal computing device vs a work supplied computer.
The Honda e:Ny1 (great name...) is coming next year I think, at least in Europe.
> What caused it to fail?
Nats says that the failure was triggered by a single piece of data in a flight plan that was wrongly input to its system by an unnamed airline.

Classic failure of input validation. I’m curious though, has there been more costly fat-finger error than this before?
I was the Ads rep to the Maps Monetization team at Google in 2010, and then I actually worked in Maps. Back then, Maps was a huge money loser. Placing ads outside the map data was a dismal failure financially, and they weren't yet selling "ads" inside the map (where you pay to have your business shown).

API access was charged for, but as people have pointed out, it was a bargain compared to now.

In any large company, sooner or later the CFO and minions will notice that you're losing money and demand you fix it. Thus, YouTube has all these ads that interrupt your viewing, besides coming up before you start. And Maps is raising API prices.

If you read these articles, you see that ArcGIS has a fairly massive footprint in the geo space. Google is not the only game in town for geo information. I haven't done much with Apple Maps, but that seems to be improving, too.

You can find details of what I did, including how to use a feature I did that's still there, at:

I did not say that the state was reversible. If you are trying to say that non-reversibility implies that state cannot be destroyed, we would need more than your TLDR.
We can’t survive AI infused robot wars in my opinion.
As was Toyota, but since then both have been dragging their feet.
Intimidate them? My brother, they are valued in the trillions of dollars. Also how will you orchestrate this coup and get everyone onboard? Impossible.

This is quite honestly the Richard Stallman take. How has that gone? As admirable as it might seem - it has no legs.
This is one thing I've never really understood about the market for insurance. Wouldn't the customer's best answer be, "OK, thanks for the new roof, I understand that you're dropping me, so I'll just switch to your competitor"?

And then wouldn't it be in the interest of the insurers to maintain a shared list of "bad" (unprofitable) customers and freeze them out? Which is already a bit of what credit scores are for?
If and when everyone is running AI workloads, then all of the competition will need to have proper support for it.

Or at least we hope Nvidia wouldn't be left as the only vendor of modern GPUs in that case. That would be very unfortunate.
tl;dr: PostreSQL stores small values directly in the table, but has to store large values outside of the table by itself, and the table merely contains a reference to the external storage. In either case, the table itself is small, and performance is fast. However, if you store data that is just under the size threshold for moving outside of the table, the table gets large, and performance degrades. Thus, the tl;dr of the the tl;dr: small and large TEXT values are faster than medium-sized TEXT values.
It was probably some sort of database error page, (wild ass guess). the site got hugged, the backend took a little to long and a snarky error message popped out.
Well said, the ACLU have gone severely astray.
You can not take a photo of someone’s art or likeness and sell it in many cases (or if abuse etc.), this is true and should be true of LLMs. In this case the photography analogy holds.

For the case of observing copyrighted photos (not directly storing indefinitely) and generalizing a pine tree from that data, I think that is fine:

-assume we believe and rule it is not fine, then we will just allow huge companies to generate their own data sets and they will own this space moving forward (would require google maps levels of investment). Also, we wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between illegal SD output versus clean FAANG output without extremely draconian measures.

And it was probably the right decision.

The act says what it says. The way the EPA was stretching the definition thin - even patches of dry ground were being considered wetlands if they determined it was an important enough part of a watershed.

The agency largely got to choose their jurisdiction arbitrarily - and because their activities happened on a federal level, there was almost no political recourse if you thought you had been wronged by the agency.

If we want EPA to have the authority to protect aquifers, it would be better to focus on fixing the language of the bill. But I think even outside of our current political climate, not even many progressive politicians are too excited to hand the power back to a federal agency that largely only pestered their constituencies.
Quantum computing could tackle radiotherapy’s intractable problems
> still wouldn't rule out the possibility of a lab leak

but finding an animal that can spread covid with a plausible story for how it cross over to humans in wuhan is a threshold that has not been crossed yet. if anyone could meet that threshold test it would be treated as proof of natural origin.

but supposing that it was a natural virus that came from an animal in the lab at wuhan then it would be very easy for people with access to that information to identify the natural source, and since that has not happened, it means the virus is either from a natural source that was not in the lab, or it was created in the lab.

the longer time that passes without finding a natural source outside the lab the more likely it is that it was created in the lab.
We don't have any evidence to support this claim though.

McDonald's appears to sell a lot more soft serve (by volume) than any other fast food chain. People go there specifically for McFlurries and others, and then leave disappointed when the machine is not working. Few, if any, go to Burger King or Arby's only for a soft serve product.

So, the issue appears more visible. But that's not evidence that McDonald's machines are less reliable. It could simply be they're the most used.
I'm surprised the article doesn't point out that a lighter battery (all else equal) makes a safer car.

Beyond the obvious stuff like reduced braking distance and improved handling, a lighter car means less energy to dissipate during a collision which allows safety products and features to work more effectively.

Think about your interactions with the government, e.g. getting a drivers license, passport, filing taxes, parking tickets, etc.

Do you want those people managing something like maps or places on maps?
The best analogy for the GPL that I've seen is to consider what happens with a typical for-profit corporation. If you join the company (they have to agree to hire you for this to happen), then in the work you do for the company, you have free access to all the IP of the company, to whatever extent is it useful in the tasks you are undertaking within the company. You must, of course, promise not to leak the IP outside the company.

Now consider that there is a similar organization: a not-for-profit organization of programmers for which the only qualification for entry is that you agree to use the same license as everybody else. Once you do, you are free to use all the IP of the organization. You may not, however, use the IP of the organization for things you might do under different licenses, since that is not considered to be within the scope of the organization.

In short: if you don't want to join the GPL "organization", don't. But just as you don't expect to get access to Nvidia's internal IP unless you join Nvidia, don't expect to get access to the GPL organization's IP.
>Look at the soldiers with the big gun in the picture in the article - they look like teenagers.

Eh, yeah, they always look young. The issue with that "big gun" is that it's a larger round, so it's about 2 lbs heavier than the M4, which it is replacing[1]. With all things like this, the answer is to get in the gym.

Anyway, I've been around an early version of these "dog" robots and have friends that have been around them more recently. They are loud. There's no noise discipline with these things, so until that's addressed somehow their use case is going to be limited to instances where that does not matter. Interestingly, I think it starts to matter not, the more these robots are used. The future (maybe present, in Ukraine) battlefield is trenches with a constant "neeeeeee" and vreeeeeee" in the air as these dogs and drones move in and out of earshot.

What a truly awful "sign up for my newsletter in order to read my blog post" nag modal. All you have to do is scroll down a bit and then scroll back up, and the modal remains off-screen below the bottom.

A determined user can easily get around this wall, while it's JUST annoying enough to make a casual user (such as myself) close the tab after the second paragraph once the modal appears.
I haven't played with rfid tags or bluetooth beacons myself but I could imagine a solution build around one of the two technologies.
I think it should consist of an entry tunnel with two sensors, one at each end. The tunnel and the two sensors could be used to determine the direction the chicken goes.
It the chick first triggers the inner and then the outer sensor it is checked out and when it goes the other way its checked in.
So penguin randomhouse should be the big winner in AI from what you're saying.

which is a non sequitur.
I don’t believe this happens with any degree of regularity; it’s like the plot of a movie.

If it happened even once, it would be noteworthy. Do you have any reference to an article about it?
im unsure what that has to do with anything.. what happened to the old device?
Or the power/prestige that goes with them.

Holy ####. This reminds me of my previous software developer job when we were supposed to go to South Korea for God knows what[0]. The reason why we had to go there wasn't really explained well to me, and I didn't care enough to ask because I was just excited to go to another country. In the end our application was denied by the embassy, and I always felt a bit disappointed by that.

Perhaps the possibility of my case being sinister is miniscule, but maybe I shouldn't feel too disappointed.

I would try to combine whatever you can. Make a side project about your PhD or workouts. Unfortunately though, there's only 24 hours in a day and there's no getting around it.
It's replacing ACH which is not available to "consumers", only employers. Maybe I'm wrong.
"why don't you have Netflix?" I hear very often, now I have an article to point at finally!
As much as I dislike domestic minivans, I've really liked our Pacifia Hybrid. It covers that "95%" just fine in the summer (in the winter the resistive heat (and general cold temperature impact) takes a toll on range).
Why it's not a superpower? Beacuse communism and Stalin.
> This will take time. Decoupling is not an instantaneous process. China spent two decades becoming the workshop of the world; the rest of the developing world isn’t going to mirror that accomplishment in one or two years.

It is all about dependency trees. The US decides to divert imports from China to other countries, which in turn may import from China.

This reminds me of my day-to-day work so much; especially w.r.t. transitive dependency management. So:

If service A is 100% dependent upon service B which is 100% dependent upon service C, then service A is 100% dependent on service C.

At some point you need redundancy to protect against disruptions, outages, supply chain issues, policy changes, wars (either physical or economic), etc.

My (probably silly) question is: Does anyone know of "building block" or "core" services (such as authentication, authorization, BLOB storage, data storage, queuing) which are multi-cloud by design? Meaning service X offers SLAs for service endpoints hosted in AWS, GCP and Azure? If/when any of these "go down", consumers can (automatically?) flip a switch to route to another cloud service implementation?
I’m with you there. As someone who is pretty liberal, yeah it is exhausting. I get why people find it important to talk about all these things, but it really never stops. There can be a battle but you don’t need to be on the frontlines at all times. It is completely draining when every action can and will be scrutinized through some lens of ulterior motive, implicit violence or structural wrongdoing. Every wrong or misstep also does not warrant a public call to action and mass response.

All said: it was a well written article and it’s not topical to bring up unrelated content on the site.
Lets see how it plays out, given that they are focused only on AI workloads, and somehow those VCs want their money back, which doesn't appeal to everyone.

I acknowledge that there is finally pressure in the Python community to tackle down performance, but don't see Mojo being the solution unless there is something that it will make it go wild.

Right now, I see that more likely with Facebook, NVidia, Intel and Microsoft efforts.
this would work really well with rambus style async memory if it every got out from under the giant pile of patents

the 'plus' side here is that that condition gets handled gracefully, but yes, certainly you can end up in a situation where memory transactions per second is the bottleneck.

its likely more advtangeous to have a lot of memory controllers and ddr interfaces here than a lot of banks on the same bus. but that's a real cost and pin issue.

the mta 'solved' this by fully dissociating the memory from the cpu with a fabric

maybe you could do the same with cxl today
I think they read this study and didn't read the details: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyt.2021.5468...

There's a lot of neat stuff in there but no real conclusions to draw from it beyond a potential avenue for further research. I'd like to see what comes out of it.
I can tell you that 9 out of 10 physicians (and other HCPs) who have attempted to "treat" me, very definitely found their "medical degrees" in a Cracker Jack box, because the "medical profession" as it is constituted today is the most exploitative, abusive, pseudo-scientific bullshit factories I have ever seen. It doesn't take a "medical degree" to see through their transparent fairy tales that pass as diagnostics and treatments. It's a travesty. Your tax dollars at work.
I am the CEO of a tech company that provides homeowners insurance in hard to insure places.

I don't think it's really a bad thing for a company like Farmers to cut costs. Insurance companies are by and large pretty bloated from a cost perspective and could do to be more efficient, reduce overhead, use more technology.

It's very common for homeowners insurance companies to have expense ratios of 30-40%. So if you are paying $3000 per year thats ~$1000 EVERY YEAR that is being wasted on branches/agencies you don't visit and corporate overhead.

I think the author is missing a really key piece here: they’re not picking these lists of things to prevent from a licensing perspective for moral or ethical reasons; they’re limiting their liability.

Companies are sociopathic by nature. They will do everything they can to not limit how much money they can make and do everything they can do to limit how much it will cost them.
Picking up nickels in front of a steamroller can appear profitable for a shockingly long time, as the traders using the "I'll just naked short VXX for easy money!" periodically find out.
Transaction processors are paid by the proceeds from mining

The miner that wins the block gets the sum of the transaction fees and the block reward. Once all Bitcoin has been dispersed and the subsidy is done, miners only get transactions fees.

Agreed. More and more companies are allowing ACH and passing (some of) the savings to the customer. I worked in this industry and it is really hard to get users to be comfortable with linking a bank account, but the incentive for the company is pretty huge. Any company that can bribe the user to make the switch should. Especially for recurring payments.
This comment does not address the content of the article. I would be interested to know what tool is used to generate the svg table figures.

The minimum square footage per “cage free” chicken is only 1.5 sq ft, (in California, which passed a ballot initiative to increase it to that number)

https://ballotpedia.org/California_Proposition_12,_Farm_Anim...

So, 1/8 acre could hold 3,630 “cage free” chickens, in theory (I am not condoning this).

In you don’t need much space to keep chickens happy. However, they produce a lot of dust, and can’t be kept in a house.
Holy cow that explains at least some of what's going on. I'm still not sure why trucks are getting taller too; I saw a 1990ish Toyota Pickup next to a late model F-150 and the hood of the Ford was almost as high as the roof of the Toyota.
I use the ACH all the time. I can't do it directly, but that's just an artifact that isn't of much significance to me, given that various financial services company give me access to use it as I need to.

The same thing will presumably happen for FedNow.
And it's not even happy if you're using Edge already (as I have to for work). When you're browsing in Edge, it will sometimes - mid-typing - just pop up a tab with an add for Bing and it's new AI features.

And it's a real tab, not a pop-up, so I haven't figured out how to tell uBlock to suppress it yet.
California used to have a law like that, but had a loophole: you had to charge card users no more than the advertised price, but you could offer a cash discount and charge cash users less. It also used to be part of the standard terms for merchant agreements.

Now the standard seems to be that a fee for credit is clearly posted and for gas stations, cash and credit prices are posted in equal prominance.

Debit cards are usually less expensive to accept, and I don't think I've seen a posted fee to use them since around the turn of the century (I seem to recall fee notices in the 90s, but I haven't seen one recently)
