Sorry to tell you, but neurons do not follow a dot product structure in any way shape or form beyond basic metaphor.

I mean fine I’ll play along - is it whole numbers? Floating points? How many integers? Are we certain that neurons are even deterministic?

The point I’m making is this whole overuse of metaphor (I agree it’s an ok metaphor) belittles both what the brain and these models are doing. I get that we call them perceptrons and neurons, but friend, don’t tell me that a complex chemical system that we don’t understand is “matrix math” because dendrites exist. It’s kind of rude to your own endocrine system tbh.

Transformers and your brain are both extremely impressive and extremely different things. Doing things like adding biological-inspired noise and biological-inspired resilience might even make Transformers better! We don’t know! But we do know oversimplifying the model of the brain won’t help us get there!

This is the wrong question. The better question is something along the lines of "why do you think you need a shell?", and the only answers you can have there are making attacker's lives easier and theoretical cases where you may need to run shell commands against a service in anger. I don't personally think it's worth it.
It has dignity if it gives purpose. I can tell you right now there’s a substantial portion of a generation of people who see working _for_ anyone as purposeless.

That is how C rolls. In theory you need to formally verify every single C program to ensure that it does not violate memory safety. Yes, that is akin to the same straightjacket that people complain about in that iron oxide language.

physicist here (so very naive on these topics) - I’m wondering how to compare the steps you mention regarding the door problem (especially the predictive ones, e.g. about the trajectory of the door as it opens, etc) with how humans open doors? Surely people don’t stop in front of a door and begin planning things out, rather they seem to go for it and adjust on the fly, is this an approach that won’t work in robotics? Why not?
So, it does... but only if it's made using the media creation tool. ISOs or USBs made with MCT use the better compressed ESD format for the install archive. Only the direct ISO download uses the less-compressed WIM.
On the contrary the FreeBSD project offers stable 'LTS' release for 5 years each.

What I mean by that is each 'major' version with stable API/ABI has a life span of about 5 years - like 5 years of 12.x version, 5 years of 13.x version, etc.

... and all that with having about only 1/10 of the Linux people count (rough estimate).
Fingerprinting with content-based hashing in the filename works, but it’s not ideal. You’ve got to make it work for basically every static asset regardless of how it is generated.

Generally speaking, I’ve found it’s better to remove this from the build logic and treat it as an infra / deployment issue. Dump all of your static assets into your object store using the Git hash of the current version as a prefix. So if you are deploying foo.js, then you might serve it as https://static.example.com/<git hash>/foo.js.

This means that you can set all of your assets as permanently cacheable and still have your cache invalidated for everything every time you deploy something new. And it doesn’t matter what you use to build your assets; your build pipeline doesn’t need to know anything about this, it can just generate assets normally.

Good point, it's special due to isolation, many countries in Europe do have traditions but no such policies like Japan's, to integrate migrants from wherever (slavic, middle eastern, african asian, other european countries etc.), so those cultures are now quite diluted.
You probably don't want to go down that rabbit hole. (trust me, I've done it, it is littered with footguns and sometimes incorrect documentation, and outdated advice. Lots of things are legacy, the docs are extensive but still only scratch the surface)

Search for unattended install, autounattend.xml, Windows System Image Manager, Windows Imaging Toolkit. Don't try to install WSIM from windows store, as that version doesn't work. (this alone can save half a day of debugging phantom problems). There are extensive docs on the topic, but they are sometimes incorrect, contain incorrect code, etc.

I'm truly impressed by the tactfulness of first making the previously unintentionally legal but undocumented syntax an error in PostgreSQL 15. This is a textbook case of "Virtuous Intolerance" [1].

By taking this step, the PostgreSQL community set up an invaluable real-world litmus test that lasted an entire year. This strategic intolerance allowed them to gather critical insights into whether any existing code would break and to understand whether such cases were intentional or not.

The decision significantly de-risked the introduction of the new, much-welcomed syntax in SQL and PostgreSQL 16. I think this decision framework serves as a model for other projects on how to introduce changes responsibly without breaking the ecosystem.

Kudos to the PostgreSQL team for such thoughtful engineering and to Peter Eisentraut for leading this exemplary four-year journey!

Yes and No. Just like the 90% - 95% of frivolous startups that failed during the dotcom crash with the remaining 5% - 10% surviving.

Perhaps we'll see proper usage of NFTs beyond looking at the price since there are some useful NFTs such as ENS domains used to resolve wallet addresses to readable domain names on-chain and NFTs for ticketing systems, which even Ticketmaster announced for their use-case for gated sales. [0]

So let's not be absolutist here with '100%' or '99.9999%' of them. More accurately: 90% - 95% of NFT projects won't survive; as expected. [1] with the remaining 5% - 10% still surviving.

There's a difference between backwards compatibility and backporting. For either, Microsoft can afford to pay engineers to maintain them.

But backwards compatibility isn't what kernel developers are maintaining, they're backporting things like security fixes to older versions of the kernel.

It would be like if a security fix is implemented in Windows 11, and Microsoft also chose to patch the same change in Windows 10. At some point Microsoft decides that older version of Windows won't get new updates, like how Windows 8.1 stopped receiving them this January.

What kernel developers are deciding is that sufficiently old enough kernel branches will stop receiving backports from newer kernels.
I can't fathom the logic. Why not do a slice of revenue like Unreal does, and calibrate the percentage so you make the same amount of money as you would have otherwise made had you done it per-install? Happier customers and identical revenue.
Tiny, cottage-run units are still absolutely available! We run two guest units out of our home. We don't outsource cleaning so we keep the fees low.

You will still find price-conscious, economical units all over Airbnb if you care to look. But I suspect the author doesn't notice them because these are not the types of units the author themselves is looking for. If you are looking for luxury stays in tourist areas, yeah you are going to get a vacation-rental company. Probably the same ones that ran vacation homes in the times before Airbnb was a thing for a comparable price.

I also like to remind people of the perspective. Hotels command a massive monopoly on new construction projects. A 150-unit building full of studio apartments built in an urban area would take a decade of zoning and community approval. But if you call it a hotel and charge exorbitant prices it can be approved and built in less than 180 days. So in a way Airbnb is an act of arbitrage between long and short-term occupancy markets.
Wow, this is truly terrifying. It reads as if Donald Trump was the maintainer of a popular library. "Low quality tooling! Sad!!!".

He claims with a straight face that every software using his library only loads YAMLs from sources 100% trusted to execute code. He is given example after example to the contrary, which he ignores instead opting to constantly blame "low quality tooling" for generating "false reports" about his perfect software. People can be really weird sometimes.

I think my ideal terminal emulator would be HTML based. Programs would output HTML, with some special extra tags. If you want a UI, serve a web interface on a random port and embed it in an iframe.

You could make app launchers with links that run other apps, and even non terminal people would want to use it.
> I found unity to be so unbelievably bloated and confusing that I am seriously shocked people are actually using it

Bloated compared to what other game engine that does the equivalent exactly? Some of the biggest games today are made with Unity, for instance, Genshin Impact.

Unity isn't bloated, quite the contrary. It's fairly modular for a game engine and authoring tool.

Kind of. If you are staying for more than 1 or 2 days it almost always makes sense still to Airbnb a private unit. And if you are booking accomodations for more than a single family, forget about it - you'll be gushing money in a hotel for much less value.

We use Kotlin to generate the yaml for our github actions: https://github.com/typesafegithub/github-workflows-kt

Nothing like a good old type safe compiled language to cut down on the verbosity, copy paste usage, silly syntax errors, weird undocumented you just have to know the magical incantations, etc. Kotlin or similar languages are the way to go. Much safer, more compact, easier to cut down on the copy paste reuse (which is just miserable drudgery), easy to introduce some sane abstractions where that makes sense. You get auto completion. And if it compiles, it's likely to just work.

People keep on moving around the deck chairs on the proverbial Titanic when it comes to configuration languages. Substituting yaml for json or toml just moves the problems. And substituting those with XML just introduces other issues and only marginally improves things. Well formed xml is nice. But so is well formed json. Schemas help, if the urls don't 404 and you have tools that can actually do something with them. Which, as it turns out is mostly not a thing in practice. And without that, it's just repetitive bloat. XML with schemas becomes very hard to read quickly.

There's a reason, people started ignoring XML once json became popular: json does most of the essential stuff well enough that XML just isn't worth the effort. And if you have something where you'd actually need the complexity of XML, it's likely to be some really ugly bloated kind of thing where the last thing you'd want to do is edit it manually.

I've dealt with cloudformation in XML form at some point in my life. It sucks. Not just a little bit. It's an absolute piss poor format for a thing like that. Since such a thing was lacking at the time, we ended up actually building our own little tools to generate that xml. Hand editing it was just too painful. One mistake could corrupt your entire stack. And it takes ages to find out if you actually got it right. In Json form it's hardly any better. It's just one of those convoluted over-engineered things. Anyway, Json support for cloudformation was not there at the time and the difference is like asking whether you'd preferred to be shot or stabbed. It's going to suck either way.

Yeah, just ignore that part. Let me know when individual growers can get their account at their local credit union credited via an api call directly to the treasury dept without any frbny primary dealers involved.
Sounds interesting. How do you handle that? How do you select the correct/latest ref of each asset to send to the user? It feels like you would have to do the same amount of work that you would have to do with fingerprinting.
Strong arrows: a new approach to gradual typing
The problem is that document, serialization and configuration formats are different usecases and need different languages.

We learnt that XML was a bit too verbose for serialization and moved to JSON. Now we need a good configuration format, especially for the advanced usecases, and YAML ain't it. The known ambiguities are a minor thing - the real problem is that it's not typed enough and significant whitespace. We need a language optimized for custom datatypes. That's why properly used XML is actually better here (it's better typed), but it's far from optimal. We could really use a different option.
Dual incomes are not required to afford housing; one partner with a good job can do it. You may not be able to live in a major metro, but you can definitely afford a decent house in a good neighborhood on one salary, especially if you're not shelling out the mini-mortgage that is childcare. The sad reality is that when both partners work, one of them is probably just working to pay the cost of childcare... so they can work. This is just fine if it's what both parents want, but it really deflating from a budgetary perspective.

And of course parenting toddlers is a different kind of stress from working. The point is than both things are stressful. If you're a sole income provider, it doesn't matter whether you're a desk jockey or a construction worker. You live with the stress that if you lose your job, your family is fucked. And while your wife can ask you to take a shift watching the kids, you cannot ask her to take a shift at your job. One thing is fungible, and the other is not.

That type of stress is barely recognized in contemporary culture, and if it is recognized, it's treated as some sort of privilege (i.e. "Oh you get to pursue your career? How nice for you, your wife is at home doing more work than you could ever imagine").

And yeah, family support is huge. But it's getting less and less common. Kids move away from home more often, and they have their own children later in life. A 75 year-old grandparent just isn't going to be able to keep up with a toddler a lot of the time.

The government really has to step in to help make childcare more affordable. Family connections aren't going to cut it on a societal level, and private-sector childcare is enormously expensive. Something's gotta give, and the way things are going, it'll just mean fewer children being born and an aging society.
In the decoder, the features from the unet blocks get concatenated with features from the encoder layer through 'skip connections'. The paper discusses how rescaling the backbone features (element-wise multiplication by some scalar) before concatenation improves image quality.
> I get that XML is about as sexy as mainframes, and that a lot of folks here probably have PTSD from working with Java/Spring web apps, but YAML is about the worst of all worlds.

I really like your sense of humor, much appreciated. Question is whether the PTSD came out of the XML or the Java usage.

Also indeed we're eager to see finally some reasonably good Assembly configs, it'd definitely be a blow in the face of Rust magicians.

I would vote for Prolog as a config language, though. If memory serves right - some 10 years ago Matt Sergeant of Perl community did a very good talk about this approach, as result of his explorations of this area. Interestingly he has some definite experience with XML also https://www.xml.com/pub/au/22.

> When I’m reading the `maxItems` property from it, I know it’s an integer. Why do I need the document author to also tell me it’s an integer?

Because this allows well-designed client libraries to detect conflicts between the document-author intent and programmer intent, enabling mismatches to fail as errors rather than being read other-than-as-intended.

> For statically typed languages, you have to tell it what type you’re expecting, so it can interpret the value at that point.

Yes and a client in such a language should fail (or have a mode in which it fails) if the value is not actually, as read in YAML semantics, a type compatible with what you are asking for.

> Even for dynamic language, most of the time you still want to validate the types up front to avoid an incorrect type blowing up in a random place in your code. So write a schema, use the schema to drive how the values are interpreted.

Schemas are for validation, not interpretation. If you use them for interpretation, then you get JavaScript-esque weak typing, and the errors that come with it (basically, magnifying the kind of YAML 1.1 problems that YAML 1.2 tamped down.)

> By replacing all the non-structural types with string, you can have the clean quote less format they’re after but without any of the “Norwegian problem” issues.

What you propose is an explosion of Norway-problem-style potential for values to be interpret other than as intended by the document author, not a mitigation.

Student loan payments are kicking in once again and that's going to remove Billions in discretionary spending from the economy! So maybe the Fed/US Treasury Department needs to be taking that into consideration for any possibilities of future Interest Rate hikes, So the money supply after the return of Student Loan Payments will see a large volume of cash flow taken out of any discretionary spending dependent consumer market segments each and every month from now on. And the multiplier effect of that discretionary spending void makes that even more than just a simple dollar for dollar calculation there.
