It helped me to look up an example of a space that is not "complete".

Turns out, rational numbers are the classic example of a space that is not complete. A sequence of rational numbers can approximate pi but pi itself doesn't exist in the space (since its irrational). So the rational numbers that get closer and closer to pi form a limit to a value that's not in the space.
I run Jellyfin on my home server, and this has been a problem for me as well. Even within my home network I'll have occasional stuttering while watching movies, despite the fact that I'm using a dedicated server with 128gb of RAM and 12 CPUs, with a 10 gigabit network card in a 10 gigabit switch, and I'll still get stuttering.

I've debated moving to Plex but I'm broadly against running proprietary software on a server (for reasons I cannot honestly articulate terribly well).
Yeah having a local snapshot of an entire dataset is obviously nice when it's feasible. But there's no need to conflate that with "application programming interface" just to market csvbase.

A setup that I can now heartily recommend (after using it for 6 months) is Apple TV 4k and the Infuse media app[0]

It's able to find your movies and series on Samba shares (and probably other types of locations, too) and categorize, find subtitles, adjust audio and so on.

This assumes you've already got your media somewhere of course (like a file server on your LAN), but I bet 99% of the HN crowd has a home server anyway. And if you use torrents, you can dump the media there.

You can literally put a price on human life that is what insurance companies do. Also, the government does the same thing. FEMA estimates the value of statical life to be $11.6M which is a generous figure. Most western countries estimate between $1M - $10M. I will say it might be cheaper if they invested in preventing someone from getting to point they would consider suicide. Anyways, $10M * 30 people, you are looking at $300 million.

You can look up the Value of Statistical Life (VSL) here.

So where is the statistical evidence that says this is due to any given breed? Correlation does not equal causation.
- "to just heat the water directly"

Recombination of hydrogen/oxygen gives you flame temperatures far north of >3,000 K. This is probably the simplest way to "just heat the water", in this temperature range. I imagine a "conventional" 3,000 K heat exchanger (for example, electric-resistive) would be very difficult to engineer.

(Those also exist, and you can look up "resistojet" to find alternative approaches to compare against. As best as I can tell, those tend to operate at much lower temperatures; and the high-performing ones use hydrazines as their (mono)propellant, boosting the final temperature by exothermic chemical decomposition. I might have misunderstood the literature).
I use email.

I'm generally very defensive on any new apps, tooling, extensions, etc. Emailing a link only takes 5 seconds and I don't need to optimize it any further.

> Exactly. Blender still isn't the first choice for most animation and VFX jobs.

It doesn't really need to be; being self-sustaining while being open-source beats Unity's model of being funded to cover operations while being closed-source.

TBH, it's only a matter of time before Blender is a choice for most animation and VFX, and then only a little more time before it's the first choice.
So people will make their most expensive/desirable property their address of record for voting purposes. Or they’ll find some other loophole like a LLC owning the property.

The Favorite Doctor of Bio-Hackers and the Longevity-Obsessed

Dr. Peter Attia

I am sure this will be a wildly unpopular opinion but to each their own. Peter pushes dangerous RX drugs in his talks about longevity most notably Rapamycin. I am not a fan of that way of thinking. Rather I prefer natural compounds that have not been tinkered with. Whilst they have less real time effect, they also come with less side affects and risks and have gradual positive impact over ones lifetime. This is a topic I should do a write-up on at some point.

For a lot of companies, switching databases is effectively impossible. Perhaps not quite as impossible as switching game engines, but certainly impossible enough that it would kill the business. A lot of companies use database specific functionality that's far from trivial to replicate in another database. A lot of that database specific functionality can also be legacy that no one really understands anymore. Migrating without an option to keep these poorly understood but critical systems will set you up for unexpected data loss, corruption or availability issues. And that's after spending a year on your migration. If Oracle pulls anything like Unity here, this will kill off a lot of companies

When I used to use Plex and it started getting shutdown the hosts always switched to Emby. I have had far more success with Kodi though since the last like 4 years. The real plex alternative to me would be IPTV services that all seem to use Xcodes and have huge VOD libraries. But Kodi + Debrid Services has been great.
Perfectly set up the plug for Jellyfin!

I waited way longer than I should have to migrate. In many cases you don't even need to change anything, just mount your media into jellyfin and it will read everything. Give it time to build out a cache of course. I've been way, way happier with Jellyfin than I was with Plex.

> Wiedenfels continued by saying that increasing streaming prices would reduce churn, AKA the number of subscribers who drop every month, especially if the company tries to commit more folks to annual plans. He also pushed the potential for advertising-based streaming tiers. Among the biggest streaming platforms around, HBO is not alone in that. Netflix has continued to highlight its cheaper, ad-based tier while limiting options for non-ad subscriptions.

This is the first time I've seen an exec explicitly argue to make streaming cable again. Good luck with that.
Another thing you can do with LLMs that I think is pretty interesting is use them to train a cheaper and faster model. Then use the faster model in your application.

> context of the story

It's always this same excuse. Fravor shared his UFO hoaxing story ostensibly to tell Joe Rogan that he knows how military jets might be misunderstood as UFOs, but that doesn't mean we're not allowed to draw any other conclusions from his story. His story, assuming it's real (assuming otherwise is even worse for Fravor's credibility), tells us that Fravor thinks that it's funny to deceive people about UFOs. I've seen the full video, I know the context. The context doesn't change anything.

> Distrust the car salesman? But the CONTEXT of him telling a story about scamming people was to tell me that he understands why people distrust car salesmen. The fact that he's being open about this tells me that he's being honest with me!

The ostensible context counts for shit, he admitted to being a UFO hoaxer in the past and he's either lying about that or telling the truth, but either way his word w.r.t. UFOs is now dogshit.

And the fact that his old colleagues haven't spoken out against him doesn't give me any confidence. There are a myriad of personal reasons that might be the case, including genuine affinity for the man who by all the accounts I've heard is very likeable in most if not all other respects. Mick West interviewed F-18 Pilot Brian Burke and Burke was gushing with praise of Farvor. Burke also said that he thinks Farvor would never perpetrate a UFO hoax himself, evidently unaware that Farvor already publicly admitted to doing so. So the professionals who worked with or adjacent to Farvor liked him, thinks he's trustworthy, and are apparently unaware or in denial of Farvor's prankster side. https://youtu.be/r3keF8rf7Ig?t=6300

Love how you oversell "Biden/Obama" as having dropped bombs on civilians while just handwaving away "we all know what trump did". Be more specific, maybe? Trump created an insurrection and tried to dismantle democracy itself, which seems far worse than accidentally dropping bombs on US citizens - let's be clear, Biden was VP at the time, not president, but you put Biden first? lol, you're so clearly trying to skew everything you wrote in all kinds of ways.

You're practicing whataboutism here.

>If you can't find a single positive impact of trump's (or any politician) policies or a single positive thing musk has done

A broken clock is right twice a day. So let's let broken clocks rule and profit as much as they want regardless of the consequences, I guess? That's what you're advocating for. trump and musk have very dubious ideologies, they are both awful businessmen that treat their employees like shit. They've proven this over and over. And yes, there is moral high ground and these two are not in the same category morally as many other politicians and business people. Your whataboutism doesn't make them seem any better than they actually are to anyone but yourself.

> Actors and on set crew are already unionized.

Again, in a special way that is not common in the US, because of the transient nature of movie productions.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sectoral_collective_bargaining

Actors and crew have things like the SAG that negotiate with the movie industry as a whole, because it's functionally impossible for them to unionize otherwise. If you're a unionized Starbucks worker, they don't negotiate with the coffee industry, they negotiate with management at your one particular Starbucks store, because that store is an ongoing permanent concern.

VFX artists employed by a permanently-existing organization like Marvel don't need this exception. (Ones employed by a transient production company for a single film would.)
Totally agree that this is under appreciated.

Between open source modeling tools being incredible, transfer learning allowing dirt cheap fine-tuning and now mega-models being able to instantly give you a "mostly right" data set, the cost of creating ML features has dropped to almost nothing.

Products that took quarters/years and required big budgets for labeling, ML specialist, GPUs etc just a few years ago can now be done in an hour or so for free (if you are scrappy). I imagine this is going to lead to a ton of great ML features that weren't worth funding in the past but are very valuable in aggregate. Similar to the mid-2000s when the cost/ease of web development came down enough that there was a lot more experimentation and fun to be had.
Sounds like regulatory capture was already deeply burrowed in the UK.

This doesn't sound remarkable in the sense that you could play industry roulette, and its just another industry could have bought what they wanted instead of the water lobby. The y seemed to bet on brexit and won big. There were likely EU lobby losers on the other side, likely buying influence for years for EU rules to favor them, and we don't know them because they did not happen overnight or they were bigger in scope.

So the questions are,

1) what are the flipsides ? Which EU regulatory captures became undone as a result of brexit , and are massively benefitting the brits ?

2) regulatory capture is not new. So what are the brits doing about it ?

Unity seems to be attempting this in the most deceptive and deceitful way possible, establishing the new Runtime Fee and then offering a temporary 100% "waiver" of the fee if you use their other (presumably inferior) products.

As soon as the pressure fades, the waiver will be reduced to 50% and then eventually dropped completely - but of course the new fees will remain.

They must think the average game developer has no business sense whatsoever.

Based on the backlash, my prediction is that Unity either quickly reverses course (damaging their brand a little and perhaps costing the CEO his job) or stubbornly doubles down (damaging their brand a lot and giving Godot and others an opening to eventually rival them).
Restic only (relatively) recently implemented compression so I'd run my own tests before making a decision. I'm currently thinking about migrating off borg to restic and disk space usage is very similar based on my testing.
From my experience "single prompt classification" isn't as simple as "type in sentence and it works" in practice. But you can use some methods to massively improve it's consistency/output.

I cannot recommend guidance enough. You can use shockingly small Llama models for some tasks with guidance while only actually generating a handful of tokens.

You should highly consider some form of guidance/logit bias for classification especially if you have a known set of classes. This will ensure you get it in the format that you want, with the correct classes that you want.

Keep in mind LLMs perform much better with COT. So you make it explain what the text/image is, then explain the possible classifications, then list its final decision. Again guidance can ensure it follows the correct format to do this.

LLM's still massively benefit from finetuning, especially if you want too classify it in a particular format. Notebook tags vs SFW/NFSW vs important subjects, etc. Existing alignment can sometimes mess with some of these classifications too which finetuning helps smooth out.
I really, really, am baffled at how difficult it seems to have a GUI builder tool that outputs a description of the UI that a program can just load (or a compiler transform into a structure inside the program) as objects the program can use, handling events and pushing presentation information into it.

That was pretty much what VB did, with immense success.

Glaze: Protecting Artists from Generative AI
I'm actually looking forward to this because the result is going to be hilarious-- the culmination of literally every slippery-slope argument ever as the models reinforce their own biases over time.
Your version 1 is similar to my top level comment. Note that 4 bits is enough to encode color, type, and include special types for en passantable pawn and castleable rook, so you keep a clean 24 bytes. (Compressing the two special types into one special option, decodable based on position, can get just under 23 bytes.)

For version 2, note that 12 promotions can happen, since one capture (white's B pawn taking black's A pawn) can open up the promotion path for 3 pawns (white's B pawn, white's A pawn, and black's B pawn). Two bits per pawn and 5 bits per other piece start at 14 bytes, but can go as high as 17.5 bytes. (Promoting 12 pawns with 0 other captures would be pretty ridiculous as a game, but technically possible...)

I'm pretty sure the PHEV Fusion was more expensive. They also gave up on it too soon and without informing the customer that they existed. Toyota is currently selling hybrids and PHEVs without any lack of demand.

The rest of your post is just a giant rant. It touches on way too many points for me to address and it is just mostly just wishful thinking. Case in point, you talk about na-ion batteries as if it was real. I remember people from last year talking about how they already exist, and yet they still don't exist. A classic example of "I'll believe it when I see it." The only thing that seems based in reality is the part where you admit Tesla's build quality is suspect.
That is correct, as far as I know. I was just objecting to SAP not being responsible for any PII data of their customers, in all cases.
