I used to play tennis competitively as a kid/teenager. I settled on 1H BH because I liked the style, thought the movement was beautiful. In my later years playing (around 2003-2004) I definitely suffered because of it, most players were using grippier strings with 2H BH. I didn't have much access to these niche strings, it wasn't easy to import them into my home country, they would get from relatives traveling abroad, I was quite poor and hence played with subpar gear. I tried to adapt by going to a 2H BH for more power but... It's really not my style.

I still play sometimes and will never let go of my 1H BH, there's some part of my child still thinking the movement is absolutely beautiful. Even more when sliding on a clay court.
Out of the box, React provides much less than Svelte. Also the mental model of Svelte is one tenth of React. I was able to start building stuff after like 3 hours of reading Svelte tutorial. I have done the same with React several time and every time I left with “I kind of see how to do things but I’m unsure how to build larger things with this”.
I would hope so.

We used to write image processing pipelines.

This is code that really needs to run fast.

We spent a huge amount of time tuning, analyzing, and re-tuning the software.

Our IT group was completely focused on office workers, and would force us to install their spyware on our test machines.

It was not a good fit.
what a nice suggestion, always fascinated by Japanese engineering and design.
> This is a perfect example of why we should always consider the specific issue, as opposed to latching onto general concepts.

You call it a "general concept", I saw it's a common understanding of reality. Hyperbole is used to poison further discussion.

eg I generalize the concept “writing makes ideas immortal”

Within your own post, there is misattributed hyperbole (sometimes called uncharitable discussion). Someone asked a question, I answered and all kinds of random assumptions were made about it. Good luck with whatever.
Not OP but I'll give my 2 cents. I much prefer Solid because it's explicit as far as which variables will be manipulated. However. I ended up usually using Svelte because it's so much less boilerplate than anything else.
In many cases, compared to what people were using before, it really is that good.

That's not to say it doesn't have its flaws, but when people talk about how it's cleaner, they can dev and debug faster, it takes less of a cognitive load, etc. - they are being genuine.

Some of it is subjective probably, but I'd die if I had to go back to e.g. React. :)
I guess it depends. I run minio with erasure coding but I also have 2x100gb interconnects between nodes and even with NVMEs I’m not noticing any performance issues with rebuilds. That said with most disks I could see how this could be a problem
Yes, it just means you have to solder the switches yourself. From their website:

This is a special version of Glove80 meant for users intending to replace key switches. Soldering is required for this keyboard to function.
Attackers accessed UK military data through high-security fencing firm Win 7 rig
Oops lol. I guess that applies to CvRDTs as well, since receiving a given state also means receiving all edits that caused it?
So following your logic, "some of the worst" includes the vast majority of actually used languages and tools. Must be cool to be on the special side. :)
That is very cool. I'm currently experimenting with dyeing my armpit hair with dyes containing oligodynamic metals to reduce the amount of noxiousness induced from long-haul (weeks-months) backpacking trips (it's what I do). Deodorant is just not worth the weight. Self-sanitizing body hair and clothes? Yes. I could do my head hair as well but I'd rather have that professionally dyed for sake of aesthetics.

Dead bacteria under clothes do not seem to care about aesthetics.

Already did it with my socks. They're all oddly colored, but no matter how many days in a row I've worn them to make them smell, a few-12 or so hours out of the shoe and the smell just...fades to a regular "human" smell (like if someone showered vigorously without soap. It's actually a rather neutral-pleasant smell).

This is partially also because even after weeks without a shower or scrub in the river I still somehow retain my sense of smell of myself. It's... terrible. Would not wish it on anyone. Losing that sense of smell is an absolute gift, I say! :D :'))))

So, in this and in a few other cases, having everything being self sanitizing is much more convenient.

Plus, if it's strong enough, as the compounds I chose/currently use are non-toxic even if ingested directly in large quantities before dyeing, I can use my dry spare shirt as a self-sterilizing wound dressing if needed (just rinse w/clean water, or river water and leave it for a few hours if worried about exogenous compound contamination, but it is/should be fortunately quite sterile), or if my water filter breaks, I can simply clean an article of clothing thoroughly (soapless) in the water supply, then suspend it in whichever water vessel I'm putting contaminated water in for a few hours to sterilize it nearly completely. Won't remove petroleum derivatives or anything like that (unless the fabric adsorption really is that good), unfortunately, but bacteria/viruses/etc are one of the big kickers.

You can see how oligodynamic materials open up a new world of safety, comfort, convenience, and light weight in the world of ultralight backpacking.

Currently I'm working as well on building a carrying system that uses all of my day to day elements but does not involve a backpack. Test run alpha1 is today. Hurray! :')))) :3 <3 <3 <3 <3 :'))))

[Final note: I'm not a doctor, this is not medical advice, I carry niacinamide for emergency treatment of infectious that do not respond to antibiotics. It can and will kill MRSA in many cases as well due to the fact that it causes the body to upregulate a huge variety of anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-parasitic, etc proteins, i.e. the body's own broad spectrum antibiotics. I encourage everyone to carry 5-6+ 500mg pills in their emergency kit and an adjunct, even if to slow down progression while out of civilization.

I could go on about these topics for a long time, I'm an empirical researcher, darn it! It's how my brain seems to be. :3]
Not in the workplace it isn't. If you allow employees to openly use racial slurs and supremacist ideology in the office the courts will happily throw the book at you when someone files a discrimination complaint.
Well... it's part of the cycle. First you create a declarative language to describe WHAT you want the infrastructure planner to generate. Then when your customers discover its limitations, you create a pulumi style imperative "infrastructure builder" language (or library). Then when people complain they have to do everything by hand, you create a different declarative language using whatever transfer syntax is popular that month. Then you keep repeating the cycle to ensure you have something to talk about on your blog every funding cycle.

Though... yes... I've had decent luck with DSLs in Lisp-land. It's not a panacea, and there's a couple months of training when we pick up new engineers, but for our app, it seems to work out fine.

Slavery was legal then.
The same way they’ve always worked - mostly alright. If you’re looking for a perfect solution you’re not going to find it.
What does banning caste based discrimination with affirmative action?
Rails is an order of magnitude more complicated then Svelte/SvelteKit. There are so many conventions you have to know. Svelte/Kit isn't anything like that. It doesn't even come with an ORM.
Well the reasons for each point are a bit different so let's go through them one by one.

A declarative language cannot be general purpose by definition.

Succinctness. If you know exactly the domain you are talking about it means you can use many shortcuts and abbreviations that would be unclear otherwise. We all know this is true for natural languages, and it is also true for programming.

Close to English. In this case the reasons are more about aesthetics. English is not particularly good for general purpose computation as it struggles to express complex ideas with enough precision that it is crystal clear what is meant. A reader must apply some common sense to disambiguate. A general purpose language close to English would either be a Turing tarpit, or it would be a close-to-english language with some general purpose computation things bolted on.
For the majority of connected people on this planet, Instagram is their first interaction and portal to the internet. And that service also requires registration and set-up. So I don't think it's such a big hurdle for those who want to use Kagi.

> why should I go through setting up all this settings to make a simple search query when I can simply use google without an account?

Why are you asking people to give you a reason? You are free to do as you please, the choice is yours.
It's not even support for visual studio - it's a completely different product spun out of monodevelop they acquired with xamarin.

Anything xamarin related (MAUI, VS for Mac) is extreme level of garbage - such low standard of quality is really doing .NET/Visual Studio brands a disservice.
Nintendo is fairly average as far as enforcing copyright goes. I really think it’s their aesthetic and presentation of friendliness that makes them seem to standout. Sony is far worse in this regard.
> Else we'll continue to stuck in this Orwellian infinite loop were complete muppets are considered leaders and no one stops to say that's no true. We don't need more fake leaders.

Strongly agree.
I'm speaking from experience at Google, and honestly our software integrity processes are like nothing I could have imagined coming in. Not everything is perfect and it has clearly evolved over time, but basically for a modern internal Google codebase I don't think I could have much more trust that it is what it claims to be.

I don't know if other big tech is quite the same, but from the little I've heard, I suspect that Microsoft, Amazon, Apple, and others in that ilk are similar.

I'm very much in the camp of "trust but verify" here. You're right that Solar Winds was an utter disaster. It should never have been able to happen.
Pretty sure they're referring to the act of caste discrimination.

Isn't the mitochondria usually silenced in cancerous cells?
Interesting backstory[1] on how Kenton found the space:

> Housing in this area is ridiculously expensive, though, and even after four or five years I had trouble finding anything I could afford. There are no empty lots here, so I'd have to tear something down, and even a run-down house in a bad neighborhood costs $450k in this area. I didn't even bother looking in Palo Alto -- it was way out of my range. That is, until something really lucky happened. A commercial establishment bordering an older residential area of town had some extra land that they weren't using. In 2009, at the low point of the recession, they put this sliver of land up for sale. I was lucky enough to look at exactly the time they did this, and with the help of a loan I was able to pick it up for a price I could actually afford.

I personally have it turned off, but smartwatches are good at notifying you with a slight vibration.
Sony engineering and management are the two entities, with the second being the big problem.
It's a great solution when you don't need a full crazy SPA
Stop downvoting this person, you will make their comment disappear and it's not warranted. They are simply sharing their personal experience and are looking to understand the person they are replying to.

And because I know people will wonder: no, I am not Indian and know very little about caste so you can rest assured this isn't a biased response.
I’ll look into it
I could see a prolog based solution being quite powerful if used to its advantage.

Someone would say…why not hold your state in SQLite and make it queryable that way? And it would be fair. But nowhere near as exciting a problem.
React Three Fiber for Displaying a glTF 3D Model
React Three Fiber is a React wrapper for the Three.js library, facilitating the integration of 3D objects into React applications. It claims similar speed and feature capabilities as Three.js directly. In this article, I show you by using a demo application how to display a glTF model in the browser.
I'm not a doctor. Ive just spent a lot of time looking into this (as im sure you have) because a close relative died from Stage IV lung cancer.

There are studies on fasting with chemo.. and depending on the type of cancer its either effective or ineffective. My comment was specifically about the end stages where cachexia is common (from my link above):

"Cachexia is associated particularly with cancer where the prevalence can reach 50–80% in advanced malignant cancer."

And all of the advice Ive found says fasting is not recommended for patients with cachexia.

It sounds like it was fine in your case though because you were able to regain the weight. Best of luck with your scans.
Germany ‘sick man of Europe’ – causing a shift to the right, top economist says
IMO, the main reasons are (but are definitely not limited to):

- You can fine tune these models for very specific tasks, which GPT-4 might not be as good at.

- Open source models are free. You can use them as much as you want without worrying about a $xx,xxx bill at the end of the month which makes tinkering with them easier.

- Smaller models like this can run on consumer hardware, even phones, and can run offline.

- Privacy and not having to abide by a third parties terms. You don't have to deal with "As a large language model...", especially with uncensored models.

- Tools like jsonformer https://github.com/1rgs/jsonformer are not possible with OpenAIs API.

- It's also just really cool, let's be honest.
My question, why focus on "can we talk with whales" when we already have the problem of "can we talk with humans" that has a known right answer?

We can have a spanish speaker (or speakers) sit down, feed us with hours and hours of content (heck, that's already there) and then work with AI to try and create a black box interpreter that can turn spanish to english.

Has anyone done this? If the goal is universal translator why not start off with a simple case?

My worry with trying to do this first with whales or other animals is we don't know the answer. Nobody can look at the whale AI translation and say "You know what, this was a good translation". Sort of the "Mars attacks" problem.

All this said, I do recognize that this creates a "human bias". The way humans talk may not readily translate to animal speech (But perhaps it would for other simians?).
You should check out Imba. It is the sanest of the lot. The only issue is they have very few updates and the development is not transparent so it didn't spark much of a community.
> pickleball for regular people, because they'd like to do that.

It's not just regular people (try getting on the court with either Collin Johns or Anna Leigh Waters) but it is because they'd like to do that. Men's pro tennis got pretty stale during the period of the Big Three's dominance, and hasn't recovered yet (though there are signs of hope). Women's pro tennis was and is more interesting, but still shows signs of being dominated by a single style and not even the most interesting one to watch. A lot of people like a faster paced at-the-net game, with more speed variation and sharper angles instead of "hoo-ah" thwack "hoo-ah" thwack from the baseline. If something about how the game has developed is causing so many players to defect, and grippy strings are as good an explanation as any, then it seems like that should at least be acknowledged even if people are OK with it. It's not like tennis is the first sport to go through this, either accepting it or adopting rule/equipment changes to keep the game more appealing.
A robust 1.1B model compared to a 7B model would be strongly appreciated. The bottleneck of Llama 2 7B is that inference latency is still infeasible for Production use cases unless you have a good supply of expensive A100; dropping it by an order of magnitude and letting it run on other cloud GPUs will open new opportunities.
I had basically the same question and Kenton answered it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37382414
> ...but I want to push back on the insinuation (if I understood you correctly) that ADHD or its treatments are any less legitimate because we haven't yet figured out if we can use brain imaging to diagnose and measure treatment efficacy.

I was playing devil's advocate to explain why someone might feel that way. My personal opinion is that every adult should have the right to assess for themselves whether they feel stimulants can improve their quality of life. The question of whether ADHD is "real" or legitimate is totally unimportant to me. And I agree with your take: if we can identify symptoms and effectively treat them, that is more important than uncovering some underlying "legitimacy" of the treated condition.

Congratulations on getting diagnosed. ADHD has the highest treatment success rate among psychiatric conditions. Be sure to keep up with all the other healthy habits for improving focus (sleep, exercise, nutrition, hydration, etc.).
Kagi's really good. It's like 2015ish Google (slight exaggeration, but close-ish).

For my niche technical project it returns results where google doesn't.

A customizable or more focusable/transparent search engine could be worth paying for. The deeper problem is the content of websites isn't really improving, I suspect.
So "inter-nostril comparison" is like stereo for the nose? Apparently, we can use the slightly different inputs to each nostril to determine the direction from which a smell is coming. Cool!
Sure. But you can create a declarative DSL without having to copy SQL.
I think caste discrimination does exist, and I've heard of colleagues from South Asia talk about discrimination based on the darkness of their skin from their countrymen. But caste is a broad term and .. could be stretched to apply to a lot of people. A person with a pronounced Boston accent who is fired might say that he was discriminated against because of his caste as a Bostonian. That's way simplified but ...where there is a law there will be lawyers..
Browns (and Clears, my preference) are pretty darn loud in my experience despite being only tactile and not also clicky. You can help with O-rings, but I agree with the above commenter that silent switches are probably an ideal solution. Well, assuming they meant to imply that.

Thanks for putting this project together. How does your project differ from similar ones? (looked at the main repo)
> It is specifying the `-C` argument with obscure special value of `-`

It is not an “obscure special value”. Not only is `-C -` (or `--continue-at -` for the long form) well documented in the correct place in the manual, `-` is a common value in command-line tools (e.g. when specifying that a tool’s input will be STDIN instead of a file).
Not to be a downer, but wasn’t one of OpenAI’s earliest discoveries that training small models on huge datasets leads to over-fitting?

It’s my understanding that the entire race to ever-more parameters was driven by that.
That being said, a lot of school systems are really bad and underfunded - that is a problem, too!

My local public school system is overfunded and bad: $27k per student per year, with only half the students achieving state standards.

Have you ever worked at a poorly-managed startup? If someone had given that startup a ton more money, without any accountability, would that have made things better or worse?

Adding money to a poorly managed organization (whether a school system or a private company) allows the root causes to thrive.
If you think the comment was made in good faith with good intentions ;) and you read my reply above, it should be pretty obvious that I am talking about educated people discriminating on the basis of caste.
I feel like I get the author's points pretty well. I had in fact chosen Terraform when it was newer as a greenfield project to deploy our infrastructure more quickly at another company. And I was happy to find out my current company had built all their infrastructure with Terraform, since by that point I knew it really well. But I still struggle with interacting with it, expanding it, and trying to get it to sing to me.

The example given is pretty good at demonstrating how Terraform itself has some unique problems that they themselves created: using counts for enabling/disabling resources, using locals as proxies for data comprehension, writing long-ass resource descriptions, often with built-in functions and ternaries to get it to do what you want in various scenarios. Trying to be DRY in Terraform can often be a chore. I think Terraform's MO is actually that some duplicate code isn't the worst thing, so you end up with piles of duplicate lines that are extremely difficult to read, and where writing a function would be super helpful. We had an engineer do a bunch of Terragrunt work for a project and I found that code nigh-incomprehensible.

So, I get it as well, I get where they're coming from.

I also think working with DSLs isn't a huge waste of time, since many of the things we work on are abstractions of abstractions. It seems like everything I'm doing today is probably going to go away in due time, but I know how to program, read docs, and pivot quickly. I do feel like as long as you're gaining an understanding of the underlying elements, your time spent in a DSL (assuming you're getting paid or you end up using it for several years), is still well spent.

They mention Puppet, and I remember getting a job offer once because I was able to read the Puppet documentation and write out a little script that could do the ask in Puppet, even though I had never used it in a professional capacity before. It was easy to pick up and I would've happily worked in it if I accepted the offer. The knowledge I gain around deploying to AWS or other cloud providers is often transferrable in that manner too.

The clouds themselves are a sort of DSL often, but I can't say that my time spent with Azure was a waste just because I'm working in AWS now. No, we delivered stuff on that platform, I learned its pros and cons, I gained some wider understanding of what cloud platforms could do, and I got paid along the way :)
No, there isn't. In fact, since girls have puberty a bit sooner, there's some amount of time when you can expect a similarly-sized girl to be stronger.
Yeah people don’t believe how insane it was. I missed the 95 craziness, but I worked at CompUSA for Windows 98.

That was nuts… people camped out in the parking lot a week out to get some giveaways and deals.

I had graduated from school and had a professional job by then, but I happened to arrive at the store for Windows Me launch day when I popped in to grab a cable or something. I remember it was sad, they did a launch event and nobody came. So I got a free windows birthday cake with my overpriced cable!

Microsoft really nailed product marketing in the 90s.
Sure. But some people don't want to do that.
They're not. Most protected classes are things like "race" or "marital status" - not "black" or "married". (Age is an exception here, at least federally: young people are not protected.)
