Of course, windowing systems long predated Windows. I guess it's a logical name--never really thought about it--but I never had a particular association between computer windowing systems and the windows in my house.
"Not math-y enough"/ "Needs more math" is a very common feedback ML/AI researchers get when writing papers.

The other day I was watching a live-stream of a doctoral defense, as the thesis was quite relevant to my work.

So one of the committee members would really pick and criticize the math - ask questions like "You are supposed to be the bleeding edge on this topic, why was the math so simple? Did you research more rigorous theories to explain the math?" etc. (He was awarded the doctorate though)

So, I dunno, if that's how things are now - it makes sense to me that the authors go overboard with complicated notation, even if they could have written it much simpler. Probably makes the work seem more rigorous and legit.

Doesn't really take that much more time, and it covers your ass from "not rigorous enough" gotchas - though at the expense of readability.
That's great for you, but most countries don't have Maestro so no luck in Sweden. And no, Mastercard does not work nearly as well.
My great great Aunt told me about the Spanish Flu as a child - there was a family story that one of her relatives defied his family's requests not to go to a dance, and then brought it home with him resulting in the deaths of a few of them.

Interestingly, my great great grandfather's first wife died from the Spanish Flu, and he remarried in his 50's and had more children (my line), so if not for that pandemic, then I would presumably would not be here.
Personally, the RNN "mode" runs substantially faster with similar quality to other models of the same size. RWKV is limited by compute and thus model size at present which makes it hard to suggest how it will stack up against models like falcon and llama2 in their larger sizes.

There are also trade offs around their specific attention mechanism. It's approximate and consists of an exponential decay across time steps and some constant that represents the magnitude of the attention at that time step. The decay means for long running contexts it in theory will loses some of the ability to recall nuance you see with perfect attention on longer sequences. This isn't a specific problem of RWKV, but really any decay based attention.

A perk of the formulation is the attention computation is linear in time complexity and only requires one additional serial scan at the end, so you get nicer scaling properties than quadratic perfect attention for the trade off in lossy attention.

The examples in the original paper don't show this to be a problem, but they also show much shorter sequences. In the real world its a toss up, I'd expect it to be faster but more lossy for longer context windows.

TLDR: It has some teeth, but I think saying it's threatening is wishful thinking to some degree. Good model, looking forward to seeing larger sizes.
"Interiority" means directly showing the interior thoughts and emotions of characters, for example through first-person narrative or stream-of-consciousness. Tolkien follow a more classic style where we see the characters from the outside.
It just didn't seem that interesting anymore. They also lacked a grand adventure, and seemed rather pedestrian. I felt I was supposed to like Clarke, but was just bored with it.
We really need to start taking a game-theory[?] attitude to any public service that involves money exchange, to prevent "viral capitalism" from piggybacking on the underlying necessity.
Is there any more information you can share about this, curious to know more
In addition to the "just keep trying" comments, I think it's also a thing that improves with age.

When I was younger, I used to be able to work "harder" but less sustainability, like a blue star that burns bright but supernovas pretty soon. Over time, I've gotten more like a red dwarf -- better at burning low, slow, and sputtery but sustainably. 1 hour per day adds up to a lot if you do it every day! You can read a 600 page book in like two weeks at that rate (and that's how I read books). :D
Yes. A thousand times yes.
Paxos is a family of algorithms of which Raft is a member. You can change Raft in various ways but then it's not Raft anymore, but it can still be Paxos. So of course Paxos can "do more".
According to this reddit comment[1] that I didn't dive farther into, the Rt. 2 bridge used to allow access from a westbound bus stop before Alewife station was built. Makes reference to the now closed Lanes & Games. Looking at MBTA bus maps I don't see any stop there now but I could be wrong.

I guess the ratio of people who develop freely available open source software in their spare time is quite high among the Hacker News audience. :-)
Yes, but those are factors that does not involve piracy/forgery.

My point is that no drm doesn't give any advantage to the artist from a monetary pov.

Drm at least makes it less likely an artist will lose out on potential sales.

Hence why I make the point that if we want a drm free world, we should focus on coming up with better alternatives to what we have.

Just a play of mind.

If I were buying some NSFW things, I would be happy to tell it's not for me, as the buyings are then used for target ads and I don't want to be retargeted :)

But, when I shop, then mostly for myself. Sometimes for my family. Then it doesn't make sense for me to tell the shops for whom am I buying.
It won't disappear because it's a different market. A digital signage display is a large computer monitor. It has a remote, and typically also an RS232 interface to communicate what is pressed on the remote (as an alternative to HDMI CEC).
Discord is slack that works, that's all
> horny men just make do

Well yes, that's the whole point. In practice "make do" sex is all-too-likely to translate into abuse, driven by a mixture of sheer frustration (due to lack of the sought-after kind of sex partners) and a widespread culture based on physical domination within some toxic hierarchy of perceived masculinity. This is true both in prisons and elsewhere, e.g. in more general gender-segregated conditions as are common in some underdeveloped countries.
I wonder if this might backfire. In the age of ai when animated characters can be almost created wholly by ai, actors can be replaced by AI, the age of the movie star might be over. I think in the future live performances will be more sought after just to know you're actually watching a real person, at least until life like ai androids are indistinguishable from real humans.

I'm saying this as someone in support of unions in general, but also in support of our ai future, if a little fearful of the Terminator scenario playing out.

I don't think unions can stop ai from taking jobs, I think maybe all unions should ban together for a general strike to force a ubi vote, so that when ai does take jobs people can still eat and pay rent.

Agree with everything you said, but what bugs me most is that I like computers, and phones are computers but they're designed for people who don't like computers, so they pretend not to be computers. Worse, those same ideas have infected the desktop too.
Combine unit testing with mutation testing.

By automatically mutating application code, the quality of the test suite itself can be evaluated: for example, a method is mutated to return null--and tests still pass! That could indicate a real bug or nothing.

End-to-end (e2e) is ideal to really exercise everything, but they can take a long time to finish. The feedback cycle is an eternity compared to unit tests.

One way to improve e2e is to have an agent on the app server and an agent on the test server, building a probabilistic model of what e2e tests to actually run; then it's a real time-saver to only execute those tests. At least one company offers this.

In the end, it's preferable to have both unit tests for microservices and e2e tests that run against one or more browsers.
Thank you, that is the best advice I've seen so far in this thread.

This reminds me somewhat of the Sokal Affair: pseudotechnical gibberish delivered with confidence and apparent authority.

I don't think there's anything bad about wondering that at all. While people generally don't die from kidney stones nowadays (although sometimes they still do), they are widely acknowledged as producing some of the most severe pain that humans can experience (sometimes they're not bad, or even painless, but when they are painful, boy howdy does it hurt).

Just speculating, I'd guess that while artificial kidneys might possibly develop stones, they wouldn't be painful, as the artificial kidney probably wouldn't be connected to the patient's nervous system.

Energy intensive manufacturing industries cannot remain competitive importing LNG from the US at 50% more than the previous cost of Russian gas, so German companies will have to relocate to where the energy is cheaper (US) or labour cost is cheaper (China) in order to stay in business at all. With alternative energy sources at least 10-15 years away, the German people will unfortunately, but understandably, seek alternative political options (AfD...etc)

I guess it won't backfire because the AI revolution will come anyways. I rather think that this strike is a last-ditch effort to contain the AI revolution and squeeze out the last bucks before the flow of money dries up.

They did not provide an argument, but a barrage of accusations without evidence. I think in that case, it is fair to ask: Who are you, anyway?
I think it says a lot about the 'designed for business' apps that discord is doing well in competing with them despite not being designed for business. If Slack and Teams had any sense they would be taking notes from discord (Matrix is, which is good, but they are still lacking in implementation quality and the network effects are pretty killer)
The Greybus project around UniPro interconnect has a lot of hallmarks of this all. And support is built right into the Linux kernel; peripherals just show up right away! You don't need libraries at all. https://kernel-recipes.org/en/2015/talks/an-introduction-to-...

Mostly died with Google's Area modularized phone. But we see some occasional projects float around using the tech. This one just uses Greybus for IoT but has a totally different made up transport over 6lowpan. https://zephyrproject.org/using-linux-zephyr-greybus-for-iot... https://www.zephyrproject.org/blink-an-led-using-linux-zephy...

This was the basis for a BeagleConnect product where a uC's peripherals like spi/i2c/own/uart/ADC/gpio could just show up on your Linux host like regular devices. https://docs.beagleboard.org/latest/boards/beagleconnect/tec...

The BeagleConnect docs lightly mention using the excellent node-red to interface with these devices, as though they were just local devices.

It seems like such brilliant technics; I wish I could envision a significant mass of people really taking up & adopting something like this.

Well, companies adopt design fads for rational reasons.

Yes, we have "Fisher Price" UIs because people buy (or at least brought) them. We have touch screens everywhere because that's what was on scify and makes people think it's advanced technology.

But the same way that fads come, they also go. Currently it's chic to have physical buttons, and a lot of people already pick the "VB6 looking" software instead of the "Fisher Price" one. Large companies are always late to fads, so expect them to only move after those decisions are universal. Those also almost universally lack good taste, so expect them to push those new trends way beyond any reasonable amount.
I too would like to know.

Half the males of my cohort (siblings, cousins) were victim of one uncle. Only surfaced a decade later.

One of my siblings was later victim of a priest. Escaped a bad situation only to end up in hell.

I somehow avoided my uncle. Though later, in 4th grade (10yo) a teacher groped me. And much later that creepy too-friendly teacher in middle school was busted (preying on females).

So just from my own anecdata, I assume it much higher, every where, than people acknowledge.

What's your basis for saying it doesn't work? Have you actually tried to get a prepaid wallet at the airport counter and it didn't work for you?

Don't make unnecessary personal attacks by saying there's no critical thinking. If there's a specific factual thing that's incorrect in what I wrote above, feel free to point it out with evidence. Don't make unnecessary tall and broad claims about others who you know nothing about.

Btw, I didn't say UPI doesn't need improving. I actually worked on different parts of UPI stack to do exactly that. And if you take the time to look at the number of feature launches that have happened on UPI you will realize how much work to improve it is actually happening every month. Also, if you really leave your biases aside and look at it critically, you might realize that the scale of UPI wasn't a given just because it is India. It takes effort make anything get to that scale and keep growing.
I managed to find a community forum with my ISP where the issue is already reported there and multiple people at the ISP (and others like me) are looking into it.

The issue looks pretty weird.

I buy ordinary things on Amazon and Walmart for an elderly relative. Cranberry juice and vitamins and picture frames for the grandkids’ artwork. He’d never manage choosing the better deal or non-ripoff shipping, and is nervous about using a credit card online. No worry, pops, I’ve got you covered.

We live in a somewhat remote small town and buy basically everything online, (including occasional grocery delivery, lingering habit from the years of the virus), excepting local meat, eggs, baked goods, etc.

As long as it’s nothing I’d prefer to hide, I’m not sure I would care if they knew Who it was for. Can sort of tell from the shipping address, no?
Paxos doesn't favour any node above any other node.

That said, if you're trying to distribute for the purpose of throughput, then it might be more efficient to only need one leader rather than the quorum that Paxos requires. Only speculating though.

Paxos is also more efficient if calls go to the same place each time - you avoid contention and revotes, etc.
They confirmed here: https://9to5mac.com/2021/08/23/apple-scans-icloud-mail-for-c...

Apple clearly has very limited ongoing scanning because they report on the order of hundreds of instances of CSAM to NCMEC every year whereas other services with pervasive scanning report on the order of tens of millions of instances.

It’s ok, you are one of the vast majority of people commenting on this topic while reasoning from false premises.

> Then how would they respond to warrants asking for all user identities that upload image x?

Dragnet warrants like this aren’t even legally permissible in the United States, and if they were Apple would obviously reject them. They state that they only provide specific named user account information in response to warrants.
The "can't" is likely more for worry of the inevitable expensive court case than the actual chance the judge will find there was infringement.

Different. Vs code/ionide has some better specific f# features, but rider has better dotnet support in general. I.e. If you use docker or unit testing rider is better. I don't know if vs code supports cross language solutions either.
“I blame the people.”

Psychology is a science that studies human behavior, and like all sciences it works mostly. As a result, human minds can be easily hacked by those with the motivation to do so. Psychological science can be employed, things like A/B testing are very effective with enough data, which our digital systems easily provide. Ads are the wholesome version of that, because they are overt. We know the ads are trying to change the way we think and act. Corporate news is an example of the less wholesome side of using psychological science against humans. The humans aren’t to blame. Humans are animals and easy to hack, and our economy is largely, mostly I’d say, based on people hacking/behavioral engineering.

Yep openssh, the best thing microsoft did for windows 10 was to include openssh almost verbatim, rather than trying to make a native ssh. it does feel a bit foreign at times. but that is a good thing. can you imagine having to dig around in the windows trust store in order to make or use ssh keys. bust out regedit to change the config.... Shudder. Nope, it is perfect and works just like any other openssh install(within the limits of windows general weirdness)

There is a question of time. How long does it take to implement a chip of X speed with RISC-V vs x86. With x86 there is so much more to implement and even more stuff to verify.

> Our software is order of magnitudes slower than it could be, RISC-V or x86 doesn't change anything.

That's not really true, the most critical bits of the stack or often implemented pretty fast.

This is what DEC learned: "The conclusion was clear: for any given amount of investment, the RISC designs would outperform a VAX by 2-to-1."
