I have a good diet, do lots of exercise (ride 16-20 ks every day, weights 2-3 times a week), don't smoke (never have), hardly drink (a beer every few weeks), thin (mid BMI), not skinny, not fat and have high blood pressure.

It's a bad vibe that I have to take pill every morning. If there was some way to avoid it I would. If I stop my high goes up to 180.

I mean I get a bottle of pills mailed to me every quarter, i don’t have insurance at the moment and Costco only charges me like $100 for that supply - and all I have to do is pop one Truvada a day, and I’m practically immune to AIDS.

How could AIDS hope to persist with that kind of treatment so readily available? (Other than in poverty and mental illness, where all kinds of things stick around because people don’t have the wherewithal to undertake treatment obviously)

Sorry just noticed your reply.

I have the 16-80mm kit lens, and also the 23mm F/2. Both are good lenses.

What I have noticed with this XT4, and I don't know if it's a general problem or specific to XT4/Fujis, is that it's very prone to choosing slow shutter speeds. I normally shoot effectively in aperture priority, but when I first got the XT4 it was constantly picking too slow of a SS to capture people/kids.

The way I fixed that was to go into the settings and find the "auto ISO" section, and set a minimum SS of 1/125s which works well for most everyday situations. Then bump up the ISO ceiling to something very high like 12000. The idea is that if your SS is too slow you basically have an unusable image, whereas at least with high ISO you can denoise and have something useful.

I also now use custom film simulations I got from Fuji X weekly. My favorites are these: https://fujixweekly.com/2021/05/03/fujifilm-x100v-x-trans-iv...

and Portra 400 and some others I can't remember.

Matthew 23 applies: "Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples, 'The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Mose's seat, so do and observe whatever they tell you, but not the works they do. For they preach, but do not practice.'"

Nice. Just to point out, calling a sequence of functions is what GPT-4 does automatically if you keep feeding it the responses and it is clear to it that is necessary given it's instructions.

So the main point of this seems to be extracting the interface from the module and converting it into the OpenAI API call's functions format.

It's a good idea. But for me I would rather just have an npm package with a function like

extractFunctions(srcFilename)

which I could then use inside of my own project which already handles the rest of it.

I remember running across simulavr a couple of years ago, and after Apple's announcement I went to check out what they are up to. I hope they get the funding they're looking for, because this is a product I'd love to see exist in the market.
I don't want apple's nerfed consume based user experience with limited integrations in a desktop replacement headset. They'll deigns it releasable.only ship what actually works perfectly in the first revision. Like they did with the watch and the iphone. Yet android and linux exist so for some reason people want to have a slightly clunky future well before apple deigns it releasable.

Hey, Google go b-tree implementation author here. A few important things:

- this implementation was done by me while I worked at Google and needed a good ordered tree. It is not and never was supported by Google, just open sourced by the company and written on company time.

- it now supports generics! Actually, iirc it did almost at the time that this article came out. In go 1.18 and higher, the original API uses a specialization of the generic underneath.
In other words, he pissed off the wrong people for long enough for them to do something about it, or at least, he doesn't have any friends left to protect him form the allegations.

My opinion is, many of his followers will stick with him because he is a mesiah like figure to many and people will see this as some type of MSM, Establishment attack because he is revealing "the truth", top comment on YT:

Your posts are very curious. Why do you think that the credential (10 years in the specialty coffee industry) mentioned is fallacious or somehow irrelevant? It seems to me that a decade spent finding ways to control variables and improve the quality and repeatability (both in a cafe setting and for customers with home setups) of coffee is like.. super relevant here.

Also - is controlling the other variables actually obvious to most as you say? Are those variables even easily identified by the average home coffee maker? I'm not so sure.
Isaac Asimov averaged an original book about every 6 weeks over the time between his first book was published and his death. He also averaged editing a new anthology or collection of prior work (his or others) every 15 weeks. He also averaged a non-book story every 6 week. And an essay every 9 days on average. Oh and also an average of about 6 letters or postcards per day(!).

For his books (authored + edited) that comes to an average rate about two orders of magnitude under Amazon's limit. Even if Asimov had stopped writing non-book stories, essays, letters, and postcards to devote more time to books, he probably would still be an order of magnitude away from hitting Amazon's limit.

I assume Amazon wanted to set their limit high enough that no legitimate human authors would hit it, but they were way more conservative than they needed to be.

GraalVM has an agent you can use to run your project. It then generates the dependency file for you and you can then use that file to compile the native code.

If you use a framework like Spring Boot then you don't even need that. Just upgrade to 3+ and Jackson, Hibernate (and maybe these other APIs) should pretty much work out of the box.

Unfortunately, existing regulations in India mandate a one-time physical verification before we can unlock you for a full-fledged prepaid account without applying artificial limits.

Our team is definitely looking into way to make this entire process online and as hassle-free as possible. And we're looking for ways to unblock activation directly at airports.

I am unsure but somewhere in the RBI regulations it says prepaid wallets are only supposed to work while customers are in India.
At least that's what we've been informed by the lawyers. Hence transactions are currently disallowed from outside.

Sure, there's a difference between stream-of-consciousness note-taking/idea capture of brain babble and composing cohesive thoughts in a coherent manner.

But the nice thing is that a journal can be either or both, often at the same time. I think the most important thing about writing a daily journal is that the act of writing things down itself is a way of processing the thoughts and attempting to make sense of them.

I'm talk to myself too much to even attempt an audio or video journal. Speech to text certainly has it's usefulness, but I can't help thinking that video journaling borders more on performance than capturing/expanding/exploring ideas and thoughts. I'm sure there's lots of filmmakers and documentarians who'll disagree with me on that, though.

That's called a Ballistic missile and those are just how nuclear war works.

The general assumption is that no one uses nukes. Because if we go nuclear, the world as we know it is over.

There is no missile shield vs Ballistic missiles or ICBMs. That's always been true. Our defense against ICBMs is always the same, we have more of them and promise to blow the enemy up with our more numerous, bigger nukes.

------------

The reason hypersonic missiles are a 'thing' is because they aren't nukes. They work because China (presumably) figured out a homing device that can lock onto ships.

So from a conventional perspective, it's about hitting a fleet of ships without escalating to nuclear combat.

That doesn't mean that China instantly wins vs Taiwan, it just means we need to be careful about our fleet positioning and stay outside of China's sensor / homing mechanisms range. Our F35 can perform mid-air refueling for a reason, we can sit outside the range of the Chinese missile and still fly missions, albeit with a slower response time due to the increased flight distance before combat.
I use NATS to create a secure pipe between buildings and the cloud. I don't need speed but I do need routing and I do need a security layer. Nats just works and took very little setup.

The 6502 has variable length encoding, each opcode is associated with a half dozen addressing modes that determine what to do with the following bytes.

In my implementation I usually store a dictionary entry with two function pointers. One for the opcode itself, and one for the addressing mode. Call the address mode to configure state correctly, then call the opcode to actually perform the work.

This is a lot cleaner than nested ifs.

TIBCO Rendezvous is tech from 1998/99, millions of messages per second didn't exist at the time. Only NYSE and NASDAQ were capable of producing millions of events back then (still not by minute nor by second).

TIBCO Rendezvous was one of the first successful large scale, low latency and near real-time pub/sub implementations, and it had a very efficient, Avro like, wire level serialisation format that made messages very compact and efficient to deliver. It was very popular in finance, banking and manufacturing, and is all but legacy now.

Dr. Rick Johnson, Prof. of Nephrology (kidney) at U. of Colorado, on a Peter Attia podcast, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V02z9mqTWzg&t=6856s , states that high blood pressure is an inflammatory kidney disease.

What causes the inflammation? There are several causes, including vaso-constrictive drugs like cocaine, but one major cause is high uric acid due to high fructose (caused by high fructose dietary intake or high sodium intake, which over a long enough time, will cause the body to convert glucose to fructose, which then goes along the high fructose dietary intake path)
I was about to suggest this app to a friend travelling to India but quickly backed out after checking the location of the nearest centers.

It's a connundrum whether these centers are more useful at/near airports or city centers. I would think airports, and therefore someone travelling to Mysore wouldn't need to go to your Bangalore center, but I may be wrong.

If you don't mind sharing, what's the thought that went into these locations?

Sorry but this is unacceptable. You post a generic comment hating on a popular language and then when asked for the specifics you bail out because you can't answer in detail for whatever reason. On top of that you then insult the language authors.

That's classic troll behavior, another commenter here asked you to stop, I'm going to do the same and flag your comments in this thread because they're strictly speaking completely off topic.
Or maybe they were saying, “Don’t argue with an Idiot”. Or were referencing the Bullshit Asymmetry Principle.

I'm hoping/assuming the increased memory usage is trivial compared to the cpu-efficiency gains, but it would be nice to see some memory-overhead numbers as part of this analysis.

This is a cool demo! It does a good job hinting at how immersive the experience can be.

I'm excited about large language models for gaming. The first thing I tried with ChatGPT was to run a text-based RPG game, and it was fun the very first attempt. I imagine we'll have (a text-based) holodeck/Westworld soon enough.

In the demo I ran out of tokens pretty quickly, after talking to 3 of the characters. I wonder how the economics of this works - I'm guessing token markup?

I wrote a library for structured inference in-browser[1] and recently started building a murder-mystery demo as well[2] (very rough WIP, not yet playable).

The library might make a good backend for your project. Local llm in-browser means it's way easier to distribute since there's no need to install anything. Structured inference lets you get consistent responses out of even smaller models so you can always get a conversation, or an action json. And of course, no token limits since it runs client-side.
