You have never heard of or read about fish being referred to as animals? Not even in your biology classes at school? That you haven't is extremely strange to me, I understand what people mean when they say fish aren't animals, in terms of the colloquial usage when referring to meat, but I didn't think that most people thought that fish literally weren't animals at all.

> Streaming is awful.

> It perpetuates the idea that you pay for a thing but don't own it.

That is probably true in the case of the streaming that you're discussing, but I want to bring up something that I think is pretty cool, Steam Remote Play: https://store.steampowered.com/streaming/

I actually had a case where I wanted to play a game on my netbook, but it just wouldn't run on the device (Transport Fever 2, which was demanding both with its OpenGL and Vulkan renderers). So instead, I setup the game on my PC and just streamed it to my netbook, over wireless in the house.

I'm mentioning this because it was actually playable and honestly it was cool to see the tech getting better for this (not a bunch of input bugs, or performance as bad as what VNC/RDP would historically give you) and being able to do something like that without a hassle.

Of course, that's a bit different from not owning the game and just renting someone else's hardware/service to play it on.
There seems to be something to that in regards to fresnels lenses and meta materials.
I’m confused. Do you not think that would have been a good opportunity to teach that person what folds are for?

Fold/reduce is fundamental. It’s weird to me that its use would be discouraged or outlawed somewhere.
Pretty much disagree on every front. Particularly for a major library.

There's a very good chance those "other people" have thought about the problem they're trying to solve way more than you have.
The publisher could, theoretically, double dip: Require a user to buy the game on Steam, and also require Nvidia to cough up the cash to list the game for streaming.

I am cynical enough about the games industry to say this is possible, even probable.
Considering the legal definition of intent[1]:

A determination to perform a particular act or to act in a particular manner for a specific reason; an aim or design; a resolution to use a certain means to reach an end.

It doesn't matter if the OP wanted to deceive the client or was pressured to do it, they still intended to do it. Again, IANAL, but people are held liable for their illegal actions all the time, even if they were pressured. Also, think about the kind of pressure this manager is applying relative to the (potentially) fraudulent thing they're asking the OP to do. If the manager was holding their family hostage, by all means, lie about the pen test. I know it's easy to advise the OP to "just quit", but not everyone has the luxury of doing that for personal or financial reasons. That being said, I'd rather be out of work and struggling instead of on the hook for fraud.

I had no idea Talapia posed the risk of carrying infections this severe. Me and my dad used to catch a lot of Tilapia in a nearby pond because they were dumb as rocks. Put in the same atta/wheat dough bait and they would come to the exact same place their fish friends got hooked. The fish tastes like absolute ass though, I dont understand why its so popular in the US.
That’s somewhat akin to negative voltage relative to ground.

Uh, citation needed. I don't know anyone that doesn't call fish animals.
A combination of high memory bandwidth and large memory capacity is necessary for good performance on LLMs. Plenty of consumer GPUs have great memory bandwidth but not enough capacity for the good LLMs. AMD's Phoenix has a memory bus too narrow to enable GPU-like bandwidth, and when paired with the faster memory it supports (LPDDR5 rather than DDR5) it won't offer much more memory capacity than consumer GPUs.
Since it is a Java thread, I’m gonna mention that ecosystem-wise, the JVM is just much much bigger and of higher quality - you very often see copied JVM packages in C# with much less features, less stability, and often even being paid.

With that said, it is a cool language and platform, that is indeed underhyped.

I assumed it was an Australian amalgamation of bush and whack that can be imagined to mean exactly what it means, like a lot of words do, perhaps inspired by a loose overheard memory, perhaps not.

My first memory of tilapia was a tour guide pointing to a fish farm at the confluence of 2 extraordinarily polluted rivers.

To the best of my recollection, I've never eaten it.

I have the same picture in my head for most farm raised fish.
Me too! Other recent gadgets that have scratched the same itch are the Steam deck and folding phones, though nothing quite captures the feeling of the gadget experimentation going on back then.

Broad-stroke? Surely you have an actual point to make that isn't tone-policing. I get that you're just dumping your raw thoughts onto the internet but your non-sequiturs and inapt analogies really hurt discussion.

I'm here to counteract the rampant muddled thinking that goes on here. Nobody else is willing to point out obviously flawed arguments, so consider it a service. (Hell, in the other thread, people think that grocery stores are pulling in 43 percent gross margins. Apple, Inc. would be jealous!)
Beyond fixing iPhone’s autocorrect as widely mentioned below, I wonder if in future versions Apple will end up switching to phi-1.5 or other models that are much smaller but trained on higher quality data.

My understanding is that wild-caught fish have more parasites, but they're required to be frozen for sufficiently long to kill the parasites, whereas farmed fish are exempt from this requirement:

From the 2022 FDA Food Code (https://www.fda.gov/media/164194/download):

3-402.11 Parasite Destruction.
(A) Except as specified in ¶ (B) of this section, before service or sale in READY-TO-EAT form, raw, raw-marinated, partially cooked, or marinated-partially cooked FISH shall be:
(1) Frozen and stored at a temperature of -20°C (-4°F) or below for a minimum of 168 hours (7 days) in a freezer;
[other temperatures/durations elided]
(B) Paragraph (A) of this section does not apply to:
[...]
(4) Aquacultured fish, such as salmon, that:
(a) If raised in open water, are raised in net-pens, or
(b) Are raised in land-based operations such as ponds or tanks, and
(c) Are fed formulated feed, such as pellets, that contains no live parasites infective to the aquacultured FISH.
I’m biased, but I originally came from the sort of setup you have into AWS. And I’ve never looked back. The time I spent tinkering with bare metal servers is just wasted. AWS has figured it out. Yes, there’s a bit of premium you’ll pay for that. But that’s your own time saved. Only you can tell what’s your time worth. But as an engineer it’s probably a lot and every hour you spend tinkering can probably pay for the whole AWS monthly bill.

For me, the strength of AWS is in scalability and reproducibility. I use AWS CDK to define infra as code. Which allows me to make changes with confidence. Test changes in other environments. Use CI/CD and pipelines even on small projects.

I only needed to figure this out once. Then all of it is reused across any project from first commit to deployed infra is matter of minutes. When I’m done I can tear it down in minutes.

I tried signing in to CoveredCA.com from an EU IP and was met with a plain-HTML "too much traffic or configuration error" page. Makes me wonder what kind of tracking they're doing (and what data they're selling)...
To top this all off, our ability to "put the domestic economy first" through policy is non-existent. Any attempt to fix this "problem", that you accurately described as a problem only because it's socially unacceptable, would end up harming us in some way. There is a mountain of evidence over the last century to back this up, we just refuse to listen.

Splitting into two parts so I can get yelled at separately:

1) At least in the US, most large companies converted to FIFO (first-in, first-out) accounting so, if today's input prices are up 10%, but a company raises by 5%, their profits skyrocket for a awhile, and then trend down when inventories and long term/sunk costs like leases, amortization of R&D, and labor contracts catch up.
It seems to mean I can rent a gas-guzzling car and drive it everywhere, while resting easy knowing all the emissions and pollution are actually the capitalists’ fault.

That was when they first changed to a machine learning-based model. I’m hoping this one is better.
How is Math::sqrt not a function in Java? Sure, it’s called a static method and it lives in a class - but is it meaningfully different from the same being a function in a Math namespace in say, C++? You can static import it even and use it as a function. This is just needless hair splitting imo.
Aren't these in mini desktops like the Minisforum (https://a.co/d/9BugA0r) already? I just bought my wife a older model for $250 to play older games together. It's ~1/4 the size of a mac Mini and the stuff we care about (CS:Source, Minecraft) runs like a rocket ship.

Modern language processing relies on pretty large corpora, and to bootstrap it requires a part to be of high quality and annotated, although for spelling correction you don't need annotation. Or you can go the GPT-3 route and use really huge corpora. If that doesn't exist for your language, and for many smaller languages it doesn't, it won't get better than 2007.

Plus Spring is honestly quite badly programmed.

The pagination object is bulky and unnecessarily complex, where a simple offset/limit is enough (and a nextUrl for cursor-based access).

When we looked into cluster locks, they’re not even released if one node goes down. I mean, who would need a lock implementation that just stores a line in a DB? And the doc doesn’t even warn about it.

Apache contributors were much better-skilled.
Which is fine, because that genetic monoculture will go, deservedly so.

Meanwhile the disadvantaged masses of wild slaves in their slums will profit from the exploratory teams of transnational bio-corps, looking for interesting new traits and specimens. Some will be elevated as winners of the 'lottery'.

North Korea’s Lazarus Group Has Stolen $240M in Crypto in Just 104 Days
Blockchain surveillance firm Elliptic published a report Friday detailing the exploits of notorious North Korean hacking group Lazarus, which has been “ramping up” activity in recent months.

The organization has been linked to five major crypto hacks over the past three months. The latest, according to blockchain data, was the global cryptocurrency exchange CoinEx, which was hacked earlier this week for a now estimated $54 million. All in all, Elliptic estimates that North Korea's Lazarus is responsible for the theft of almost $240 million in crypto in just the past 104 days alone.
> There is no JIT in C++, or is it?

This question doesn't make sense for the context*. C++ is Ahead of Time, by design; there is nothing to "just in time" compile.

JIT (as a concept) only makes sense if you are, in some way, abstracting your code from native machine code (usually via some sort of VM, like Python or Java's), which the "system" languages (C, Rust, Zig, C++, etc) do not.

What I think you are trying to reference are "runtime optimizations"; in which case, the answer is probably no. Base and STD C++ are pretty conservative about what they put into the runtime. Extended runtimes like Windows' and glibc might do some conditional optimizations, however.

* Yes, some contrarian is going to point out a project like Cling or C++/CLI. This is why I'm being very clear about "context".
Have you tried actually downloading SD and all the various custom models and tools?

For me it kicks the shit out of Midjourney in flexibility and quality. I can make more images of higher quality, faster and cheaper.
If you can do things yourself or with your staff, you probably don't need aws.

But when the cost of you doing something (either direct or opportunity cost) becomes higher than that of using aws (or another cloud provider), you should use them.

Yes, you can get really really really far without needing to scale if you spend a lot of energy and effort on optimisation, but that's time you're not doing biz dev, or building out capability.

And even now you probably are currently spending a lot of energy on things that are useless outside of saving $ you'd pay to Amazon. As you grow, the cost:value of doing these things yourselfor even in-house changes.

If you're successful and scaling, it's often waaaaay easier and cheaper to throw $$ at a problem short term than getting engineers to actually prioritise and look at it.
Musicians have emphatically not survived digital piracy. But at least they have another avenue for possibly generating income: live performance.

Authors? Who goes to a live reading?

Lastly, you will not benefit from book piracy if you destroy an author's ability to survive by writing books. That's why I wrote: Tragedy of the Commons. I was careful to write about authors, not publishers. Pirating a self-published author is ethically wrong.
Indeed. I mixed up my nightshades. Tomato! Not potato! Fixed.

You can ship one compiled binary in Java too if you want it. https://www.graalvm.org/22.0/reference-manual/native-image/

> Go is simple. It's easy to understand, read, and maintain

Go involves a lot of code repetition which makes it difficult to human-scan and maintain. Worked on both large scale Go and Java projects and I found Java projects easier and more comfortable to maintain. Had to pay a lot more attention to Go. Go is easier to write though thanks to its well-designed and extensive standard library which is possibly the best in the world, but the maintenance angle still tilts to Java. There are also more Gotchas in Go compared to Java.

And “San Jose” translates into English as “Saint Joseph”, a title associated with Catholicism. So was the practice of not eating meat Fridays for much of the 20th century. In this practice, fish was not counted as a meat, just as it wasn’t in the comment you’re referring to!

The more closely you examine it, the more interesting you can make this sentence become :)
Not necessarily scientific fact, but religion has historically differentiated between fish and other forms of animal meat (e.g. land meet).

During lent, Catholics don't eat meat on Fridays but can still eat fish. In fact, some people practice it all year long.
According to the Wikipedia link to the bacteria posted in another comment:

"Vibrio vulnificus is the most common cause of death due to seafood in the United States, causing over 95% of deaths that are known to have occurred due to ingested seafood."

No, this seems to affect raw or undercooked seafood in general.
Increased ocean temps have been in the news a lot in recent weeks, so I don't grok this reply.

Edit:

Later in the Wikipedia page:

Increasing seasonal temperatures and decreasing salinity levels seem to favor a greater concentration of Vibrio within filter-feeding shellfish of the U.S. Atlantic seaboard and the Gulf of Mexico...

According to the CDC, V. vulnificus infections in the Eastern United States increased eightfold from 1988–2018 and the border of where these infections occur has migrated 48 km Northward each year.

It was not deliberate but my point stands with or without the "it". I'm not exactly sure what you mean by the surplus being captured by the producer in this case, but typically, for a voluntary transaction to occur in a free market, both the buyer and the seller must perceive some kind of surplus or benefit. If consumers willingly opt in for the streaming service, they must see the transaction as beneficial to themselves right?

What I am saying is that, looking at past trends and assuming the technology becomes competitive, I believe a majority of consumers will opt for option B (streaming) rather than stick with option A (owning).
I did not claim the part about more data or that we cannot really know, but rather that if you have to consider any and all explanation in an analysis you have a problem - it's a line of thinking that doesn't help and leaves the realm of science.

For example, is having a simple mechanical explanation for something really evidence against some Devine intervention that is just done so that everything looks "normal"?
Temporal stability has been solved for a while [1], there's just nothing of that grade for diffusion models currently. From above, tagged geometry guiding a temporally stable neural renderer seems to be the way to go for games, but this needs to be confirmed in the trenches.

With that said, I think it is important to mention that if you go off the safe path in rust and you do hit such a bug, your current execution is no longer trustable, it could have corrupted the heap, introduce UB, and die with a segfault, etc.

In java, race conditions can enter illegal application state, but their scope is much more limited. NPEs are 100% safely handled, etc. you can only get off the safe road with using Unsafe unsafe, and manipulating the JVM’s inner state which is not even allowed by default. Depending on application, this difference may matter a lot!

I see this article as a piece of its time - it tries to bridge the divide between connectionists and symbolists. And that's exactly my problem with it: of course, you need a non-symbolic approach to sensor data processing, fusion, aggregation, category discovery etc. but it does not necessarily mean that a neural network is the only option. In the end, an ANN implements a mathematical function and as such, you as the system designer should be able to choose any mathematical framework for your lowest level.
