Please don't cross into personal attack or otherwise break the site guidelines. We had to ask you this once already recently (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36274535) and you've been doing it elsewhere too, unfortunately. That's not cool.

Mushrooming is common, poisonings are quite rare, because there is no reason to take mushrooms you don't know - there are enough ones that are clearly good and you can easily throw out anything which is even a little doubtful. Common poisonous ones look very distinct, and you can easily avoid the doubtful ones. And most of poisonous ones won't kill you (though you may wish you were dead for a while). Really bad ones will, but those are widely known and nobody sane would touch them.

I knew many people who regularly collected mushrooms, and did it myself, never heard any cases of fatal poisoning. It's not that it doesn't happen at all, but - especially among people who do it regularly - it's pretty rare and usually happens when people try something "exotic" or buy from untrusted third party.

In this particular case, of course, it's pretty clear shat happened - same thing tgat happened to all thise people falling out of the windows and the same thing that happened to Utkin and Prigozhin. Putin happened.
Disagreeing with something isn't the same as glossing over it. You didn't say anything of substance, just an empty accusation of "fits of anger, uncharitable accusations to others, vindictiveness"; so there was nothing to address.

> JeanHeyd has a tendency to take any criticism to his work, and his technical opinions has meritless. He has a history of implying that there's bigotry, and that objection is the same as obstruction.

The very source of this issue is that there were apparently people in the leadership who took serious issues with the direction of the compile time proposal, but were seemingly unwilling to have the discussion about technical merits.

If he has a history of creating drama from technical criticism of his work, this RustConf fiasco is certainly not an instance of that.

You, however, have a history (in this discussion at least) of claiming something without backing it up. It would be very helpful if you actually linked to examples of him doing the things you're criticising him for, both on this point and the others.
Finally, one can have inefficient C.
This is what happened to FileZilla I think?
Ah, but have no fear - as lower RAM hardware starts dropping out of the market, the RAM usage of Microsoft Teams will increase to compensate!

(Not even /s - while the developers of LLM applications may have 64GB RAM in their laptops or desktops, the less-technical early adopters of LLMs running locally are likely to be power users with lower-powered laptops, much more stringent RAM limits, and numerous line-of-business applications and browser tabs contending for that RAM. Causing those applications to be swapped onto disk will almost certainly result in a degraded overall experience that could easily be blamed on the LLM application itself.)

I wonder what the risk profile looks like for CA earthquake insurance. Earthquake damage is semi-isolated to areas close to the epicenter or built on landfill, major earthquakes are rare, but I could see 5-10% of policies making claims when there is a major earthquake.
Phi-1-small also scores higher with 350M parameters. It helps to be specific about what the comparison is against when claiming SOTA.
I suppose it is all in the definitions. Yes, it has rained before, and 2014 had a legendary rainstorm: but this year we have had multiple rainstorms, wet day after wet day with no chance to dry out in between. It has felt like a new experience.

Today it is sunny and warm, so the mud is starting to dry out, and things are starting to move. We'll probably get on the road tomorrow.
This topic comes up periodically as most people think PDFs are some impenetrable binary format, but they’re really not.

They are a graph of objects of different types. The types themselves are well described in the official spec (I’m a sadist, I read it for fun).

My advice is always to convert the pdf to a version without compressed data like the author here has. My tool of choice is mutool (mutool clean -d in.pdf out.pdf). Then just have a rummage. You’ll be surprised by how much you can follow.

In the article the author missed a step where you look at the page object to see the resources. That’s where the mapping from the font name use in the content stream to the underlying object is made.

There’s also another important bit missing - most fonts are subset into the pdf. Ie, only the glyphs that are needed are maintained in the font. I think that’s often where the re-encoding happens. ToUnicode is maintained to allow you to copy text (or search in a PDF). It’s a nice to have for users (in my experience it’s normally there and correct though).
Every time I read about the hardships of interacting with the PDF format, I gain more respect for Photopea, which has full PDF editing support.

URL please? Open VSX lists several but it's hard to evaluate if they're complete & stable from just the READMEs. For example, https://github.com/xaberus/vscode-remote-oss has existed for a long time, but one would need to spend a few hours to know if it works well enough.

You lost me here - because the science based one is just stating unproven statements to come to some conclusion. If you were to expand on why those two sentences are "proven" you'd likely come to evidence based reasons.
With that logic, the fact that I can find people who were raised in liberal environments and taught not to discriminate at all is sufficient grounds to get rid of anti-discrimination laws altogether.

That's absurd. The laws aren't for people who wouldn't discriminate. They're for the people who demonstrably do.
A working definition is good enough is my point
No; but that's irrelevant. The point is please don't post personal attacks to HN.
I wonder if they’re going to challenge it based on freedom of religion (similar to Christianity and discrimination based on gender identity or sexual orientation).

> SIM cards are just smart cards. [...] SIM cards no longer conform is ISO 7810 in most cases (having migrated to the smaller micro and nano formats), but continue to be compliant with ISO 7816 for electrical and protocol compatibility.

Over the past 20 years, I've used mobile cellular telephones that take mini-SIM, micro-SIM, and nano-SIM. I didn't get to experience the full-size SIM card, but learned about this obscure fact from online photos and museums. Example: https://twitter.com/phone_museum/status/1287310071907713024

> Why is it that SVCs gained so little traction for payments in the US?

Another obscure point is that during the Bitcoin craze of the mid-2010s, the Canadian government tried to pitch MintChip as a competitor. It fizzled out and went nowhere. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MintChip

> Offline systems simplify payment networks in some ways, but also add complexity, which is often apparent in transit systems that combine offline terminals (for example in buses) and online terminals (for example at train platforms). [...] If you add value to a card with a zero (or near zero) value and then try to board a bus, it is likely that you will be rejected: the value-add hasn't been written to the card yet, and the bus terminal hasn't been told about it. The transit operator often sets an expectation of one business day for online value adds to be available if your first trip is an offline terminal If you add value to a card with a zero (or near zero) value and then try to board a bus, it is likely that you will be rejected: the value-add hasn't been written to the card yet, and the bus terminal hasn't been told about it.

This perfectly describes the situation in Toronto/Ontario with PRESTO, adding value, and tapping on buses.
I was replying to a very unuanced article, with the headline “DSLs are a waste of time” and no further hedging on that headline in the text. So ya, I knocked down the argument on the argument’s own (very broad) terms.

No need for the personal swipe.

> The core point is that the article is talking about some quite specific types of DSLs

It used specific types of DSLs as evidence but I don’t see a narrowing of the claim itself? Where are you getting that?

That's still wildly too expensive if you want to make a profitable service that is scalable beyond VC capital injections.
> Maybe the estate is so sensitive because the unpublished stuff isn't as good as the published stuff?

Or it could be the author's wish since the unpublished material may contain sensitive information. TS Eliot most famously had an embargo on publishing his letters 50 years after his death or the death of his 'mistress' depending on whoever died later.

Salinger's literary reputation is already set. Don't think any new material will add to or detract from it.
I'm in market to replace platform for my home-built NAS. I'm looking at EPYCs 7001 or 7002 with SuperMicro platform (second hand) as primary target.

When I seen this Milk-V Pioneer platform I was very enthusiastic: looks like what I need (minus IPMI, but I can omit this requirement) - one slot for 10G network, one slot for HBA, M.2 slots for caches, I can select RAM (in opposite to most of these platforms, where RAM is soledrid-on), plus ability to experiment with new platform. Looks perfect.

But... $1499?! Plus VAT to import to Europe?!

Sorry. I pass :-(

Why does it cost SO MUCH!?
> Which is more likely? Everyone lives like a European (from a consumption perspective)? Or a bunch of people don’t or die while some do?

There are no systems that can ever be created to actually balance out / eliminate inequality, outside of very small communities operated via extreme authoritarianism.

See: modern Sweden. A formerly highly effective welfare state, increasingly brought to its knees by poor immigrants (and it's going to get a lot worse over the coming decades). They can't remotely handle what's happening to their country in terms of inequality, despite how good they have been historically at managing it. France - also historically effective at managing a high quality of life welfare state - has entirely failed at managing a similar scenario, and for the same reasons.

The exact same principle applies globally as it does locally. It can't be done under any scenario. So yes, vast inequality will persist forever, as it has forever.

The end of inequality is when there are one or fewer humans remaining.

We don't have to guess at likelihoods (will everyone live like a European). The answer is known and certain. Even within Europe half the population can't afford to 'live like a European.'
I don't understand the curved keyboard wells as present on the Glove80 and Kinesis Advantage keyboards. For most keys on a flat keyboard I type not by bending the finger joints and then punching the keys with the tips of my fingers by straightening my fingers. Instead, I press the keys by largely swinging the whole finger up and down and typing with the pads on the distal phalanx of the fingers.

This is hard to explain but my experience with my Kinesis Advantage is that the keys above the home row and especially the function keys (really just function buttons) are too high and are oriented with the faces of these keys too angled towards my hands (i.e. the normal vector from the top of the keycaps are angled at perhaps 45 degrees from vertical). So on an "ordinary" keyboard, like a laptop keyboard, the surface of the keycaps are roughly parallel to the surface of the laptop keyboard. On such an ordinary keyboard it is quite easy to press the number keys and function keys without a lot of finger flexing, while on the Kinesis Advantage I feel like I am curling my fingers then lifting my whole hand and then straightening my fingers to kind of punch the keys like one would press a button mounted on a wall. (Does this elaborate explanation even make sense or am I just being picky?)

I greatly prefer typing on the Kinesis Gaming Keyboard. These feel better than using welled keyboards to me.
I still have this on my shelf and worked through it cover to cover more than once in middle and high school in the 90's. LaMothe was a massive inspiration and, while I'm not totally convinced that these types of project-based instructional books are as relevant in the 2023 world of Github / blogs / etc, I really miss being walked through a complex piece of software from beginning to end with commentary and supporting code in a giant book that you can touch and feel and flip through the pages of.

Also very much worth shouting out Mark DeLoura's 'Game Programming Gems' series -- I'm not sure how it even happened, but I got a chapter published in the first volume while being a 17 year old kid who had zero professional experience in any industry of any kind lol (I just replied to a call for submissions on Gamasutra, was told 'ok code it up and write a paper' and I did. And they printed it!)
You mean less than that? But more importantly, after that peak comes a long and steady decline (as far as we can tell).
I was wondering about that too. Would it be possible in the future to have a more modular approach to LLMs? Have a module that is responsible for basic knowledge/language/grammar and then other more specialized modules that are added selectively.

I don't know enough about fine-tuning, not sure if the process is capable of removing "unused" parts of the model (I guess not possible, similar to un-learning).
To be pedantic, noise removal works great if you know the signal, but still works great if you model it as a statistical distribution.
There's things a reasonable and mature person doesn't dangle knowing that it's unfruitful.

I'll give you an example of my impression of their comment. You ask your child to clean their room when you leave for work. When you come back, you find them having not cleaned it.

In retaliation, you say "I had spoken to the baker to make you your favourite cake for this weekend, now I'm going to call them and ask them to no longer make it".

The cake is "part of the public domain" of whatever thing they were working on, because if they were working on a private codebase nobody would care if they wrote it in D or E or G.

Read what you may of it. To deal with emotionally manipulative people in our lives, we've learnt to identify cues like this one. There's a reason why when angry the best advice is to bite one's tongue.
Why does a performance system need to exist? Another option is we all work like contractors, where we show up to do a job and it’s on us to justify our career progression. If we’re worth more, we make the case to the people paying the salary. Enough with this Victorian schoolgirl routine where you have to figure out who to schmooze and gossip to in order to get what you want
Collecting solar power in orbit is quite reasonable.

But yeah I expect we’ll not make it 100 years let alone 500. Our ability to change our behavior to avoid obvious problems is poor bordering on suicidal.

Look up Hadley cells. https://groups.seas.harvard.edu/climate/eli/research/equable...

Warm air rises near the tropics, rotating with the Earth. It then goes towards the temperate zone, still rotating with the Earth to form the jet stream. It then falls, creating the trade winds as it slows down. It then is sucked back towards the tropics, creating a reverse trade wind because it is only going as fast as the temperate zone. And then it rises, completing the cycle.

The prevailing wind in both temperate zones and the tropics is therefore due to the Earth's rotation.
There's no inherent reason it must be a profit-making business. Organizeing as a cooperative, mutual insurance is also an option. Granted that any version still must set rates that cover expected payouts.
The situation with Canadian forests is much worse. The Amazon accounts for 20% of the global carbon sink but the meters-thick layer of peat below Canadian forests is a third of all carbon stored (along with the peatland in Russia, which is also burning).

There’s enough carbon stored in that peat to double or triple the CO2 ppm which would be absolutely catastrophic to the planet.
Maybe, but when they sit next to me for 8 hours that argument kind a falls off.

I am sure there are exceptions to this, but from my experience these people also aren’t nearly as productive as people who have usable, comfortable setups
Interesting point, I’m using Codium exactly for this wrong reason then. In the end trusting or untrusting without the intellectual capacity required to verify is no different from faith. That’s maybe why 100’s rabbits approach to computing with uxn is so appealing.
Flip it on its head, the question is, why even do an open source release? The answer is, it's pretty much a sop, much like Apple's Darwin releases or the AOSP. Good PR for the open source community to build trust and good will, while still controlling the whole platform from soup to nuts making EEE possible. If they opened up their dev tools -- their LSPs and cloud service connectivity -- to just anybody they risk losing that control.

Honestly, the more I learn about Visual Studio Code the more I understand why Emacs is the way it is. Stallman was trying to keep it fully hackable forever.
Making work visible with GitHub Project and Grafana
That is all in, including motherboards, RAM, chassis, CPUs, etc. then replica count three as opposed to erasure coding. That replica count alone is 3x the cost. And TiB, not TB, and Canadian prices, with shipping from the US for Supermicro parts. Each node is about 6-7000 CAD before drives and I use 6 enterprise rust and two enterprise SSDs per node. Cost would be lower of I built nodes with more drive capacity, but I want to keep nodes to 2RU to have more nodes in 36RU.
> I doubt you are playing here with a good-faith definition of “at scale”.

I could say the same thing about you because you make it sound like the appearance of some works in various places on the map is equivalent to their vast abundance.

> development of the printing press is generally viewed in contrast to the medieval manuscript era that immediately preceded it

If you skip renaissance.

> As for going to a show and copying the content, yes

I guess it's one thing to argue something like that from the spectators pov and another from the artists. If you actually have evidence that there are large circles of professional artists who argue their work should be copied at will with no compensation then ok, you are right.
In any given human language, at least, most vocabulary tends to be concrete objects or physical processes. The parent is suggesting that we begin by looking for that subset of the language by correlating the speech sounds of whales with their behavior to objects in their environment.
Couldn't immediately find it but who sponsors/pays for the compute?
Of course I was putting it mildly, because it's exactly the least interesting part of the article and the whole idea of discussion here is to optimize for what's interesting.
Jesus fucking Christ this is depressing. You just brought up how you think genocide inevitable, and you imply that we should start it so that we’ll win?

I don’t think there’s any reason we should take “let’s kill everyone else so we can keep our nice stuff” should make any more sense in 2023 than it has over the last… well, such arguments pop up in all of human history, I guess.

To answer your question: i think it’s more likely that we build an egalitarian global society, or at least continue on the path.
Disable mouse accel by running this from the terminal: defaults write -g com.apple.mouse.scaling -integer -1

There's a setting in iterm2[0] to disable the terminal from growing and shrinking if you adjust the font size. By default iterm2 will resize the terminal but it does it in the worst way possible by extending it past the viewable screen. If you pair or screenshare a lot this setting is critical to disable IMO.

Cochrane review: Physical interventions [on the spread of] respiratory viruses
Given Cochrane might be closing after sudden funding cuts, this systematic review from them on mask efficacy might be of interest.

Excerpt:

> Wearing masks in the community probably makes little or no difference to the outcome of laboratory‐confirmed influenza/SARS‐CoV‐2 compared to not wearing masks (RR 1.01, 95% CI 0.72 to 1.42; 6 trials, 13,919 participants; moderate‐certainty evidence). Harms were rarely measured and poorly reported (very low‐certainty evidence).
We need to to keep a competitive landscape.

>when we'll see RISC-V CPUs that are performance competitive

As you said, Arm and x86 aren't static targets. So while they'll catch up to where Arm is today, Arm will be somewhere further ahead at that point. Especially as implemented by Apple silicon. My concern remains that Apple will have to investment strength to always be a few years in the front. Their lead could in fact increase. And that's just CPU.
That sounds more than I, for some reason, expected. I'm not sure why, but I was expecting "only" 2x speedup at maximum, while the CRC32 adds "only" 5% overhead. But, 5-8x speedup would be really nice. With that, the the CRC32 overhead would become immeasurable. I'll definitely have to look into it now.

Provincially run insurance and utilities traditionally keeps prices in check.

Notably, when provincially run insurance and utilities have sold to private interests, the results have always been the same, even recent examples across Canada:

Service gets worse (extremely worse/completely inaccessible if you’re rural), AND costs to consumers double after 3 years, then continue to rise astronomically for several years following.

This, 100% of the time, is followed up by rural people that voted for this scenario to occur complaining that big city politicians fucked them again.
