Yes. This is the thing. Choose a company that is doing well. Join a part of that company that is doing well. Do a role that is recognized as helping it move forward, not holding it back or maintaining things.

Your general accumulated connections and domain wisdom will probably carry you towards relative success. Bonus points if you’re useful.

Trajectory, not current state, is what matters most.
You can use S3 versioning, assuming you have enabled this on the bucket. It would be a little clunky. It would also be done in batches and not continuous append.

Basically if your data is append only (such as a log), buffer whatever reasonable amount is needed, and then put a new version of the file with said data (recording the generated version ID AWS gives you). This gets added to the "stack" of versions of said S3 object. To read them all, you basically get each version from oldest to newest and concatenate them together on the application side.

Tracking versions would need to be done application side overall.

You could also do "random" byte ranges if you track the versioning and your object has the range embedded somewhere in it. You'd still need to read everything to find what is the most up to date as some byte ranges would overwrite others.

Definitely not the most efficient but it is doable.
Looks great! Would love if there were a flatpak available to take this for a spin.
I am not complaining about this specific developer, I said the state of software development.

In an ideal world, this app should be programmable in the same time it takes to read the website and buy it.

Not questioning the reasons why such app need to be paid seems even stranger to me.
Just wait until they’re ported to C++ using AI!
I meant the qualitative reasoning behind it
They mention tuning io_capacity and io_capacity_max, which unfortunately the MySQL docs indicate is useful until you click through to see what the parameters do [0]. They control background IO actions like change buffer merges, and in fact will take IO from the main process that needs it for work.

IME with a decently busy (120K QPS) MySQL DB is that you do not need to touch either of these. If you think you do, monitor the time to fill the redo log, and the dirty page percent in the buffer pool. There are probably other parameters you should tune instead.

I am the creator of the repo.

Depends on the machine, number of threads selected and the model checkpoint used (Vit-B or Vit-L or Vit-B). The video demo attached is running on Apple M2 Ultra and using the Vit-B model. The generation of the image embedding takes ~1.9s there and all the subsequent mask segmentations take ~45ms.

However, I am now focusing on improving the inference speed by making better use of ggml and trying out quantization. Once I make some progress in this direction I will compare to other SAM alternatives and benchmark more thoroughly.

I'm outside your jurisdiction so I presumably can't comment using the official channels, but here are some points:

The most fundamental thing is a commitment to maintaining devices for a published (and readily-available before purchase) period of time. However the problem is that the average consumer doesn't know the full implications of this. There have been some outrages over times when the server that supports a product is shut down and the product no longer works, but people should realise the problem is just as severe for all IoT devices once updates stop being produced. The IoT device transforms from being a useful device into a potentially-malicious vulnerability that most consumers will continue to use because it still vaguely works. The consumers don't care if their Android device is a few releases behind - to them it is just a phone that is a little clunky but still does the job, while in reality it is a security nightmare waiting to unfold. That is the issue that needs resolving. Until it is resolved, then a large proportion of the devices on the internet will be unmaintained security holes.

This can be improved in two ways - firstly the manufacturers should be forced to state how long they will provide updates, and this should be worded in a way that makes it very clear that after that time the device should be viewed as a danger and should be destroyed. Secondly, when a device is no longer being updated, it should very clearly inform the user that it should be considered broken, with wording along the lines of "This device is no longer supported by $MANUFACTURER and cannot be considered secure. Criminals may be able to break in to this device and steal all your data and use it to hack into your bank account. From this point onwards $MANUFACTURER rejects any responsibility for any consequences of this device being hacked."

The consumer needs to know that this is important. It is only when the consumer know that it is important that they will start to differentiate their purchases based on the maintenance commitments, and therefore the maintenance commitments might start to be a matter for competition. I think this is the only way that you will reasonably get manufacturers to commit to long-range support, and also the only way that the proportion of unmaintained devices on the internet can be reduced significantly.

Secondly, I really hope you are thinking of collaborating with other legal systems like the EU on this one. The manufacturers won't want to divide their products and provide support to just a subset of the world, because the sunk cost of providing support to one country is far larger than supporting the devices in the rest of the world. The EU is also going to want the proportion of vulnerable systems on the internet reduced. If just the US were to try to put through laws like I have suggested above then the manufacturers are likely to try very hard to lobby against it, but if these laws are being pushed through in the EU as well, then their lobbying is much less likely to be effective.
Nintendo used the same file format as used for pirated ROMs, so people assumed Nintendo simply used downloaded ROMs. As it turns out one of the people working at Nintendo for emulation previously worked on emulators outside Nintendo, so it's likely that just the file format was reused. The Nintendo leaks showed that Nintendo has extensive internal archives and the likelihood of them needing to download ROMs of the Internet is low.
Why does it need to be forced to open up?
I have reverse-mode (purely functional reverse mode at that!) sitting in a branch, and will get this going at some point soon. Even more fun will be compilation down to XLA, like JAX does in Python.
I don't understand why selfishness comes in this context. I'm considering if and when have children because not doing it would be reckless and egoistical playing with somebody else's life
Getting a machine that works well out-of-the-box is critical. While tinkering and troubleshooting is definitely part of the 3d printing experience, my Prusa Mini requires very little babysitting and maintenance.
It's the degree of compression that can be achieved, from 7 words to 2.

Just to elaborate further, I believe the Compton wavelength is relevant here. In particular, the Compton wavelength of an electron is much larger than its swarzchild radius would be.
Related trick: I found that training two Natural Intelligence (NI) models in parallel, and having them train each other for most of the time, leads to significant leaps in capabilities. Notably, when one NI picks up a skill, it often results in spontaneous transfer learning - the other NI picks that skill up very quickly, much faster than it would through direct training.

This scales well, too. There are facilities that provide services of co-hosting and cross-training up to ~two dozen NI models in a shared environment - in my experience, this provides similar training benefits to running multiple NIs on your own, at fraction of the cost.

(The facilities are exploiting some neat economies of scale. Talking to some employees, I learned that the transfer learning and co-activation are embarrassingly scalable: if you get two-three NIs to pick up a thing, all the rest immediately follow.)
Not sure that it was the only interaction- but the Keith Woods' tweet was a link to an article critical of the ADL written by a renowned Jewish scholar, Norman Finkelstein. What is important, who tweets the link, or the link's contents?

That plus public housing simply isnt being built, choking off supply.

Airbnb is richly profiting from the misery though. Theyre not an innocent bystander.
That is just how physical reality is. Everything breaks all the time and your process needs to be resilient to it. It is definitely the case that consumer 3D printers make that practically impossible though. (I tend to think home CNC is more interesting for this reason).

For example, an industrial solution to some of the problems would be a checklist based inspection of the printer between every task, but this would be incredibly tedious.

Software that has to directly interface with reality also has these problems.
No - the system cert installation works out of the box on Google's own official emulators, for both AOSP & 'Play Services' editions (but not Play Store). Ditto for Genymotion, Bluestacks, etc.

Zero root setup required in those cases, until now. Create the emulator, adb shell, su, mount tmpfs, write your CA certificates.

You can script it and do the whole process in <1 second on a fresh device.
Id also look at goofys, which I’ve found to be google performant for reads. Also nice that it’s a golang binary which is easily passable around to hosts.
No understanding, no learning! Period.
With my SaaS/PaaS you hot-deploy async. to all global nodes with complete (type last code character to ready) turnaround of ~1-2 seconds on live (just enough time to switch to your client/browser):

It also allows for session persistence, so you can test the dev/bug feature without logging in again.

And yes code becomes more manageable if you work like this because it encourages modularity.
So things like "China is going to collapse" is a good hot take sound bite but he goes into way more depth in his book about population decline, how each country has a baby boomer population hitting retirement (at different paces), how those impact economics, the natural resources available in a region, etc.

Reading Zeihans latest book it feels like someone is giving you a play by play account of a game of Civilization, except its real. There is a lot of history in there about how we got to our current state with a lot of the predictions that are based on various factors. He's not saying things are certainties, more so that adding up a bunch of factors like above support his prediction.

Hot take/sound bites aren't a great source for any news, doesn't matter who its from.

Movies are portals into enormous realms of imagination, encapsulating the whole range of human emotion, experience, and creativity. They take audiences to other worlds, present insights on important societal concerns, and provide an escape from the mundane. Films, with their riveting plots and magnificent graphics, have the capacity to inspire, entertain, and challenge our assumptions, making them an essential element of world culture.
Power Rangers Diamond Painting: A Colorful Quest
Since the early 1990s, the Power Rangers have been a fixture of children's entertainment, stealing hearts with their bright outfits and high-energy battles against otherworldly foes. Power Rangers Diamond Painting is a rich color palette that allows craftsmen to reproduce the Red, Blue, Yellow, and other Rangers in their full transformed splendor. Each diamond reflects the series' championing attitude of cooperation and curiosity.

A Christmas Story Diamond Painting: Reliving the Festive Magic
"A Christmas Story" is a famous holiday classic, with memorable scenes such as Ralphie's search for a Red Ryder BB gun and the iconic leg lamp becoming cultural touchstones. These sceneries may be brought to life with a festive glitter with the A Christmas Story Diamond Painting kit. The precisely placed diamonds embody the movie's warmth and comedy, making it an ideal holiday crafting activity.

Venom Diamond Painting: Dark Brilliance
The gloomy anti-hero "Venom" from the Spider-Man universe stands in stark contrast to the happier realms of Power Rangers and Christmas stories. The character's deep duality is captured in Venom Diamond Painting, which depicts both the terrifying symbiote and its nuanced bond with host Eddie Brock. The resultant artwork is a mix of dark tones and eye-catching patterns, ideal for fans of darker movie themes.

Conclusion
Diamond painting is a tribute to cinema's huge influence, allowing fans to reproduce their favorite movie sequences in stunning detail. This art form celebrates the wonder of movies, one diamond at a time, whether it's the heroism of the Power Rangers, the nostalgic appeal of "A Christmas Story," or the gripping intensity of "Venom."
Extracting and visualizing hidden activations and computational graphs
Can you think of any that actually would have applied under these rules? These markets are basically entirely dominated by American companies.
Given you explicitly marked it as 'vague memory' so people could choose to weight (or if they so wish discount entirely) your comment based on that, I don't really understand the complaint.
The complaint is valid. A better title for the article would be trucker shortages are self correcting. The “number of trucking carriers has increased 45% since July 2019;” you don’t see a 50% increase in the quantity supplied without a supply-demand mismatch, which in anything but a perfect market causes localised shortages.

When confronted with these shortages, Congress tends to “fund employee driver training and recruitment programs,” which does nothing for independent owner-operators. Given that is the responsive end of the supply curve, the next time something must be done about a trucking shortage, it should be in making it easier for aspiring owner-operators to secure SBA loans.
Maybe read a bit about AM and Eurisko first, that will give an idea of how Cyc was expected to get used.
Others do this too, just using replaceState.
Great question! First off, that is one reason we decided to stay with Markdown and picked YJs for our CRDT library. Markdown because it is plaintext, and in our testing we found it was a lot easier to conserve user intent when merging plain text than actual rich text (i.e. JSON). YJs because the CRDTs are already fairly robust and designed with intent-preservation in mind.

That being said, we did end up writing a somewhat large system around our editor (we're using CodeMirror, which is also great to work with), because we wanted to take things further by excessively labeling transactions with additional context not included in the plaintext ("this was pasted", "this is clearly a link", "these marks together are valid markdown", etc) which allows us to batch certain types of transactions together and better preserve intent that way. We also use fractional indexing for some things (like lists) which generally do a good job of preserving multi-user intent.

Finally, in cases where sending edits over WebSockets via our own servers is suitable, we actually prefer that to sending them peer-to-peer (via WebRTC) as certain types of atomic operations become difficult in P2P scenarios. This kinda reduces one of the key benefits of CRDTs (over OT), but the P2P is still possible (and works), it's just sometimes not as good at intent preservation.
Getting authorisation right with GraphQL is no different to getting it right with REST, provided you push the checks down into your data access layer. You could do that with e.g. row-level security in Postgres or with something home-baked. The point is that centralising it below the level of the API means everything just works (and anyone adding new endpoints/resolvers doesn't have to remember to "add" authorisation checks).

English can do reasonably well if you don't mind poetic sounding language (and, to be fair, Shakespeare compressed down a lot of things into shorter, poetic idioms we use today). Something like her farewells overran, perhaps.

Cloudflare isnthe solution to VPN companies allowing bot accounts to taint their IP address.

It sucks as a real person using a VPN, but having your website be overwhelmed by bots suck more than a few VPN users having trouble using your website.

If Cloudflare didn't exist, websites would probably just block VPN IPs like streaming services do.

What exactly is Bertrand Russell’s Paradox after all?
Bertrand Russell's Paradox is one of the foundational conundrums in set theory and mathematical logic. It arises when we consider the set of all sets that do not contain themselves as a member. The paradoxical question then becomes: Does this set contain itself? If it does, then by definition it shouldn't, and if it doesn't, then it should. This seemingly simple question shook the very foundations of early 20th-century mathematics and led to a deeper scrutiny and formalization of set theory.

Curious to hear the unexpected ways it has touched you!
That's basically what I'm saying. We have nothing. It's shameful.
I'd guess that if iMessage had a market share even remotely close to that of the US, it'd be a much bigger issue and would definitely qualify. Still, here it really isn't, no one actively uses it (if they do, it's probably because what they really wanted to do was send an SMS because they were unsure if the person had WhatsApp or something, and iMessage converted it)
I think this will come (and already does) from the libraries. They abstract a lot of the hard-to-get-right details for you.

For the rest, I guess the BC comes out of a limitation of the language to express things correctly only. So to remove the BC one would have to build an entirely different language (maybe purely functional ?)

Yes, latin crams more meaning into each word (gender, tense ect) but that doesnt make it superior, rather different. English is generally short than french, but french remains the more exacting and clear language for communicating specific ideas.
"They"? Is Hollywood now part of Pentagon/NSA/...?
I'm glad you wrote this.

> I increasingly just seek healing which I certainly won't find in any kind of fast paced company.

Yes please, find healing. Impossible to find in any company i guess. Therapy, self-reflection and letting go of pain from the past come to mind. Best of luck.
I understand that what these companies are doing is illegal, and thus the court ruled correctly.

But I cannot help but wonder if we, the public, are really focusing on the right thing here?

Is "companies are using your reading history to target ads" really the same level of dangerous as "your government wants to read all your messages"?

Why is the EU regulating privacy topics to the point were we no longer have access to certain social media products, while they are also pushing for backdoors into private messengers?

I think that we should focus on the latter - privacy of private encrypted chats from Government scanning.

And not spend so much of our time worrying about Facebook targeting me with ads for iPhones, because they know I am in the markt for an iPhone. That's pretty meh.
And government deals. That's why in 2023 children still learn basic office skills on Microsoft's offering. US might be different because I know Chromebooks are popular over there in education.

In Romania this was a big deal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_licensing_corruption... , in other countries maybe they never got caught. I doubt that bribing, as a "strategy", was only used in one country.
Why is the article tying just-in-time to this issue?
It's clear to me the system is in place to maintain: diplomatic, military, energy, and technological dominance so that the US can pick the winners and losers. Makes sense. Any of us would make the same decision, and the American people are not outraged because they directly benefit from these surveillance activities...and they don't even have to get their hands dirty.
In the UK there were asylums for "imbeciles" (the term for people with learning difficulties). Although they no longer exist, there is a plot of land near me which cannot be built on because it's essentially an unmarked, mass grave for patients of the asylum. Terribly sad.

This feels messier, partly because it's easier to fudge accidentally, but very much mostly because it relies on your configuration being propagated. I understand that may work in some shops, but generally it can't be assumed.

I have no doubt that there are huge numbers of issues with many large-scale IT projects, but this sort of cynical and hyperbolic armchair analysis makes it even harder to have rational conversations that help prevent systems failures in the future.

Consider reading the actual initial Nats report https://publicapps.caa.co.uk/docs/33/NERL%20Major%20Incident... – this provides a bunch of interesting analysis and technical information.

I'm sorry for being mean about it, but it's a personal bugbear of mine when complex systems failures are boiled down to lazy analysis.
