I feel exactly the same way but it's highly unlikely. I do think that we will see some kind of gesture recognition tech built into the Apple watch which will allow us to type without any keyboard at all. There's already a product on the market that does this called the TapXR and I think with the push towards VR and AR and the need for a solution for typing in these programs when you're not at a desk, this is coming sooner or later. We've already seen the early stages of this with the new gesture for answering phone calls on the latest Apple watches.

I see which email thread you mean now. AFAICS OP submitted the patch with a proper sign-off again approximately 6 hours after they were told the sign off was missing. So I don't see how that could have been an issue. The maintainers patch is from more than a week later.

> Yes, and that was one of the reasons the maintainer rewrote it (which wasn't a lot of work since it was a tiny patch anyway).

I don't think a simple rewrite is enough to convincingly solve the described problem. There is a reason "clean room design" exists and considering the maintainer read the original patch first before creating their own there is a good argument that they were at least subconsciously inspired by the original patch and therefore plagiarized. That is how I understand the legal aspects of this, anyway.
Cost and interface mostly. Also to some extent privacy issues.

Phones being $1000 is already an issue, and they're by default more robust. Glasses, assuming we can get them to a similar cost, are probably even more likely to be lost or broken. For comparison think of foldable smart phones, which exist, but are mostly seen as a trendy luxury item due to their durability issues.

The interface, I think is huge. Smart phones took off because apple figured out a good interface. People like to rip on them for just copying an idea that already existed and hadn't taken off, but they ignore that apple nailed the hell out of getting it so the average person could use it.

You need it to be clear, obvious, and responsive.

All the examples i've seen of these smart glasses (website isn't loading for me so I can't check this) are the sorts of things that nerdy people like me (typing on a cornish zen) would find fine, and will never be smooth enough for the average user, ESPECIALLY at current costs.

While things like the air pods pro have changed my opinion on the average user adopting tactile controls, I still think that voice activation and mostly reference-less tactile controls is NOT mass adoptable. And this is before we get into just the hassle of glasses (smudges and the like).

From what I can tell, these are basically just "headphones + camera" on your face. So it's not displaying anything, at which point this is like airpods with a camera. Is there a group of people who want that? Sure, this looks tailor made for luxury influences. Is that a use case for the average person? I don't think so.
If you run LFS long time keeping it up to date, won't it get cluttered because of incremental 'make install' or its not meant to be run as normal desktop distro? Honest question, last touched it like 15 years ago.

If just being persistent and willing to iterate solves the issue, then yes, GPT-like systems could do that. If you have to employ creative thinking to even find out what the customer wants, then check it in the system, debug some processes and derive the desired feature or correction, then we are very far from having such a tool, IMHO.
No, they came up with all the data for their models themselves.
It’s my understanding that a similar compound known as dihydrocodeine (DHC) is sold OTC in some European countries, and is abused in a similar manner to how dextromethorphan (DXM) is abused in the US.

Be the change you want to see in the world.

I used to never talk on the phone, but with a friend's help, I'll now call other friends and "hang out" on the phone with them after work, while I'm doing my dishes or on the treadmill. Sometimes I call them and they're not open to chatting, other times we talk for hours and just catch up. But that didn't just happen. I had to push through some really uncomfortable stuff, and my friends did as well.

VR is going to be another step, but Facetime is pretty great.

it's not entirely their fault, they rely on xformers, and that library is gpu only.

other models will happily run on cpu only mode, depending on your environment there are super easy ways to get started, and 32 core should be ok for a llama2 13b and bearable with some patient for running 33b models. for reference I'm willingly running 13b llama2 on cpu only mode so I can leave the gpu to diffusers, and it's just enough to be generating at a comfortable reading speed.
I struggle to imaging someone putting up with the bother of a sleep study, and then wearing a mask in bed, unless there were a problem.

Eyeballs are pretty optimal for getting data out of a computer and into a brain. I think professionals will continue to use a high-resolution large-format desktop monitor, but a high-resolution large-format display on a pair of glasses is unambiguously superior to a phone screen, no matter how much resolution they pack in or how much larger than a pocket they get.

What I wonder is where the keyboard is going. I have an imagination that can draw and abstract things with (I think?) about as much fidelity as my eyes can take in, but there's nothing that even comes close to that for getting that data out of my brain and into the computer. Not keyboards, not mice, not touchscreens or pen/tablet, not game controllers, not voice-to-text. Not my Leap Motion gesture sensor or Spacemouse, though those are interesting products. With lots and lots of training, I can get hundreds of WPM of text into a computer, with exotic, high-information-density syntax if required (text entry speed doesn't really seem to be the bottleneck for productive work, but that's beside the point IMO).

The optimal input mechanism is definitely not blinking, though I can imagine that eyeglasses with gaze tracking tech (and some training for "wink to click" or similar) may someday be of comparable or greater utility to a mouse pointer. But how close can we get to "think to text" or "think to image"?

> This is counterfactual. There is zero basis for claiming that tolerances are increasing at a population level. The increase in potency of street drugs is due to the basic economics of the black market on the supply side, not a response to demand.

I think he is just saying even if you legalize it and allow addicts to get drugs easily, it’s not viable long term as the addicts will develop tolerance to the drugs and will need ever increasing doses.
"But in practice, extremely few medical conditions are checked for and “excluded” before concluding a diagnosis ... – the great majority are not checked for at all. Very often, ... is diagnosed “by default”, because no known alternative explanation was found (or even actively sought)."

From anecdotes I hear, that is one of the major problems with the medical system in a nutshell.

The "source data" is allegedly 8 trillion tokens. You can't just distribute that like its source code.

The "binary" is the transformers python code, which in this case is essentially llamav2.

Now, the documentation for this model is inexcusably poor. Hot dropping random code on a git repo without one drop of human language would be similarly "open source," but its bad practice, and unfortunately this is the standard in AI Research Land.
Interesting you bring this up because spouses families don't live nearby either. I would certainly consider my spouse's requirements before we move.

Europe has plenty of mediocre "craft" beer. I've had tons of beer in Europe that tasted like homebrew - one dimensional.

American craft brewers lean heavily into hoppy IPAs because that's what craft beer buyers like. IPAs are almost always the best selling beer that a craft brand makes. If you talk to them, they will say they'd love to make more varieties of other styles of beers, but IPAs keep the lights on, thus 40% of their product portfolio ends up being IPAs.

I hate IPAs and the style of hops American brewers use, so I tend to drink imported German/Czech lagers and pils a lot.
In the anglosphere (or may be just america) "think of the children" has lead to a lot of these sorts of issues. Child abuse is the worst thing anyone could imagine, and so, how could anyone over-react? How can any action be enough? May be some figures or entities take advantage of this, but there is some sincere motivation in these drives too. And now, we have issues like this article, children not being allowed unattended in most public places, children unallowed to walk on their own without adult supervision, and it goes on and on.

The thing is there is no needed ill intent, all parents can be sincere, and yet create a society and culture that stunts their very childrens' growth and lives. In the article, as the author said, how many thousands of parents have been separated from their child, and the infant, now parent-less, will be shuffled from foster home to foster home, all in the name of ending abuse based on filmsy evidence and poor science? It's depressing.

The very desire to protect and love leads to hurting those we intend to help.
From what I understand, modern NICs have multiple Rx/tx queues and thus the work of sending and receiving can be assigned to different kernel threads.

The number of queues will vary according to the specific NIC chip.
there's one big problem. It looks like they're creating distilled water. The WHO has stated that distilled water without the minerals that they normally contain puts people at increased risk of health problems. and you can't just get minerals from another source: that's not the problem. the problem is the water itself lacking in minerals creates problems for the body.
Was the US even involved with that?

You might have to clip them to the backside to get it all to work out. But in that case variations in lens shape will be less visible, because sunglasses.

Probably the most convenient thing I can think of is just putting my whole phone in my glasses. By my whole phone, let's say I'm talking about my whole dumb phone. So calls, texts, camera - this seems reasonable. And if I can ask for information and get quick answers that's a bonus. Disregard privacy concerns for the moment - that's obviously important and will be a bit sticking point. I would replace my phone with these if it was standalone. Or maybe this + watch in tandem would be neat.

If I didn't already need to wear glasses, that might change how I feel about it as well.
Honestly, the answer might just be: "Because it's freaking cool!" and I totally understand why that doesn't appeal to you.

I don't understand why the act of not taking a small patch should be interpreted in such a personally insulting way.

It sounds like you are just trying pour oil on a fire.

Would you prefer to live in a world where people are obliged to spend extra time dealing with easily-broken egos because all non-overtly-friendly acts can and will be interpreted as contempt? I personally rather assume people are well intentioned, and let them focus on fixing problems instead of catering to egos.

Or maybe you like playing the ego game. That's fine, but I'm really honestly questioning my assumptions towards humanity in the discussion here. Do people really think I view them in contempt if I don't write a couple paragraphs of words to sooth their egos after I disagree with them?

I use Deno because I couldn't be bothered to figure out the Node ecosystem and how to actually wire together the Typescript compiler, package json, builders and bundlers, etc. I just do not care and the mess of tooling is frankly exhausting to wade through.

Deno Just Works for me. `deno run file.ts` and you are good to go.

Not to say it's been 100% smooth sailing; I have hit a few rough patches with deployment into my own infrastructure (some within Deno and its dependency management, some within libs like sqlite3) but overall I am happy to not deal with nodejs.
Oh yes, this is a critical point that I missed. Thanks for clarifying it!
Someone get that stupid animated background off the site, it looks like bugs crawling on the screen.
And if you're using FreeBSD with a fast NIC, look into the pfilctl command and use a "head" input hook into your NIC driver's ethernet input handling routine. Doing this allows the firewall input checks to happen early, before the packet has been received into the network stack, while its still in DMA-mapped, driver-owned buffers. If the firewall decides a packet is to be dropped, the NIC can recycle the buffer with minimal overhead (skips DMA-unmap, buffer free, ethernet input into the IP stack, and the replacement buffer alloc, DMA map).

This allows for very fast dropping of DOS flood attacks. I've tested this using ipfw up to screening and dropping several 10s of millions of packets on 2014 era Xeons with minimal impact to traffic serving. I wrote a paper about this for a conf. that was cancelled due to COVID. I really need to re-submit it someplace.

This works for Mellanox, Chelsio, and NICs that use iflib (ix, ixl, igb, bnxt, and more that I'm forgetting).
In a nutshell, addiction. If people could just easily walk away from it through moral reasoning, the problem wouldn't be happening at the scale it is. And the first contact with the drug is triggered by other things, like pain, peer pressure etc.
> drop inflammatory remarks to see how I respond, to identify which side of the culture war I am on

Very real, and very hilarious. I called a tow truck recently in rural CO, and the driver asked where I lived. Upon hearing NYC, the first words out of his mouth were "I hear that's a real shithole. My phone's been telling me murders and robberies are way up." God bless America.
> Other people won't, and choose to violate drug laws in order to maintain their addiction.

Fair enough, but I am simply unwilling to call "just letting them be addicted" a _solution_ of any sort whatsoever. I'm entirely disappointed with this level of social response. You can be saddened by the apparent hopelessness of their situation, but beckoning further destruction and squalor for lack of willingness to truly care about the problem genuinely upsets me.

I understand that part of the concern is these people acquiring a "record" that will make their life difficult in the future. A simple mechanism that expunges these charges entirely upon proof of sobriety is all that's needed to solve this.

How much is a CPAP without insurance? Could you buy your own to get around this? Or is it some sort of prescription only situation.

Edit: I don't mean buying one without a sleep study etc. But if my doctor were to prescribe one that needed to tell my insurance my sleeping patterns or get taken back, could I just pay full price for a model I'd actually own?
Whisk ferns (Psilotum) lack many of the characteristics of other vascular plants and based on their morphology were thought to be among the most primitive (ancestral) vascular land plants. We now know, based on DNA evidence, that they are actually really odd ferns. Same goes for Equisetum (horsetails). If you looked at a Biology textbook from 10-15 years ago, this is very different from what it would have told you.
> If the deadly compounds are not approved for medical usage anywhere in the world, they should simply be treated as chemical weapons. Even if you want to quibble about the intent of the dealers, something this lethal could be easily weaponized to kill hundreds with nothing more than a battery powered fan.

You're proposing escalating the drug war to literally unprecedented levels (treating drug users[0] as actual agents of war), in response to a completely nonsense fear (the idea that a "battery-powered fan" would be a viable route of administration).

The idea that fentanyl is toxic to the touch or aerosolized is pure police propaganda, contradicted resoundingly not only by all medical experts, but also by common sense (fentanyl is routinely handled in much larger quantities by nurses every day). The same applies to these other drugs - they're dangerous if ingested, but you're not going to be accidentally ingesting them, unless you're ingesting drugs obtained from pharmaceutical sources.

[0] No matter how you try to frame this as something that would only be leveraged against "traffickers", drug users will inevitably be the primary targets of any such law.
>Well, what do you think the reasons are that these workers took non-union jobs with Tesla, vs union jobs with Ford/GM/etc.?

Because it's a job that's available near the workers. You could also say "Why would workers at GM take union jobs instead of non-union jobs". Companies having employees is not a useful metric in determining how good a company is when we're talking about manual work. It only tells you there are people who would like to be employed.

>It's not just against cheap labor, it's against any labor, including better labor - e.g. very recently, https://9to5mac.com/2023/08/07/us-tsmc-plant-petition/

This is a valid criticism. I think it might be a critique of the workforce or educational system in general, but I agree that these unions are playing a part. Some sort of working agreement is needed for exceptional circumstances like this, and unions need to come to the table.

>it's very interesting that you didn't defend racism on the ground of "prevent wage reduction as a result of an influx of cheap labor"- which is exactly what they were trying to do; but you did defend anti-immigration sentiment on that basis. Anti-immigration sentiment is still pretty socially acceptable in the US, so it's still ok to use this defense, apparently.

I was attempting to provide context to your statement. It is a moral and tactical failing of the union to not accept workers of different ethnic and religious backgrounds, and protect their interests the same as any other working man, if they already existed in the labor pool. If a company is importing cheap labor of a different ethnicity en masse, they are not doing it innocently. Companies understand that racial tensions are a great tool to divide workers. A company using racial tension as a weapon is much more of a problem than workers being racist individually. That is a failing that needs to be addressed with socialization, education, and shared culture, but it is secondary.

>Exactly because unions in a vacuum are pure evil - and they will behave maximally evilly within the confines that social mores allow. If racism was also still socially acceptable, unions would use that too regardless of other institutions.

If you replace "unions" with "companies forced to compete in a race to the bottom, becoming more and more cutthroat to survive" I'd agree.

No, not at all. In fact, heroin is one of the few drugs I don't know where to purchase and I have no idea what it costs.

But for drugs I do know and sometimes purchase, dollar prices have barely budged while the value of the dollar has declined (compared to the 90's). It's still $60-$120 for a gram of cocaine. It's still $3-$5 for a hit of acid. It's still $20-$30 for an eighth of shrooms. Ecstasy pills sometimes go for $30 now, but you can still find them for $20 just like in the 90's.

In this case, they've also documented the remote connection protocol: "KV Connect"
https://github.com/denoland/deno/tree/main/ext/kv#kv-connect

I kicked the tires on this with a pure TS implementation of the protocol called kv-connect-kit that gives you the KV client api in any Javascript runtime (including Cloudflare workers, which does not have anything Deno namespace related)

- npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/kv-connect-kit

- deno/x: https://deno.land/x/kv_connect_kit

protocol seems to works as described on the tin, and it would be pretty straightforward to write another backend
