> "mean without outliers" requires you to make a subsequent value judgement

Do you think that comparison of outliers to interquartile range is not a relatively objective method of determining outliers?

The interquartile range is a number that indicates the spread of the middle half, or the middle 50 percent of the data. It is the difference between the third quartile (Q3) and the first quartile (Q1) . . . The IQR can help to determine potential outliers. A value is suspected to be a potential outlier if it is less than 1.5 × IQR below the first quartile or more than 1.5 × IQR above the third quartile. Potential outliers always require further investigation.

GrapheneOS leaks less data to Google by default and otherwise than /e/OS and is also a privacy-focused project. I believe places like https://www.kuketz-blog.de/ and https://eylenburg.github.io/android_comparison.htm will attest to that.

App compatibility should also be better with sanboxed-play-services compared to microG since almost all apps/features that don't require meeting certification requirements (e.g. Google Pay and certain banking apps) or privileged integration (Android Auto) should work just like on another Android family OS. Something you might run into is the hardened memory allocator exposing memory corruption issues in apps whereyou might not see the same crashing elsewhere.
I've also wondered why Grindr but not Tinder works on the "messaging only" plan. Someone at Alaska must have had fun with that one.

Flightaware.com also works, presumably because Alaska uses Flightaware for its tracking map.

Can't help thinking a lot of that is self-inflicted. The small company I work at is at "in between" size. We use Artifactory and Gitlab, both on-prem, and an on-prem k8s cluster. I'm not saying nobody needs more, but you can work your way up, it's not an all or nothing thing.

How's this supposed to make any difference about YAML (or this Restricted YAML) being used for things it's not supposed to be used for?

It's not a problem that $CI YAML configs have multiple ways to encode strings and need indentation. Yes, "no" issue sucks a bit, but it's not that huge, just a minor papercut. The giant root issue is that YAML is simply not an appropriate format for this kind of stuff. People are writing more and more complex programs (modern CI pipeline is a program*) in it, when it's not a [suitable] programming language.

And it's not suitable not because of whitespace. Syntax doesn't matter that much (unless you're a junior developer first time seeing APL - just kidding, of course), it's all about the semantics. YAML was never meant for writing programs, it doesn't have necessary constructs to support those (but people are inventing DSLs on top of it, and it looks and feels awful).

Similar logic applies to some orchestration systems, some IaaC stuff and other areas where YAML is not a great fit because systems either "outgrew" simple configurations to something else (like programs, but not always) or YAML was a bad fit from the very beginning. CI is just the most obvious example.

*) It made sense when CIs were simple, and those YAML files were configuration snippets rather than programs. Just like Makefile makes a lot of sense, when it's able to do all you need. But CI grew more and more complicated.

> It's worth pointing out that, historically speaking [0], we're not an in era of particularly high interest rates yet, just not absurdly low ones.

The question is what is the right level of interest rate in 2023 as compared to say 1960.

19060s were boom time with GI bills, lots of new industries started by veterans, a booming suburban household, booming number of children. People and companies of the time had very low debt aka there was room for them to take on more debt. All of this leads to rising credit, which requires a higher interest rates to keep inflation low.

2023 is an anomalous post-pandemic boom coming from trillions added to US government debt. There is no population boom, no business boom, no new tech boom (excluding the AI stuff going on now). Nobody can take on more debt as most people/companies are completely tapped out. This actually requires lower interest rates but we have high inflation so the FED is keeping interest rates artificially high.

This is to say, that companies like SNAP just cannot continue to exist in a higher interest rate environment. Neither can companies like Meta, Uber, Google, Microsoft without cutting costs somewhere or without letting the stock collapse.

A recession is the only way out because companies will NEVER let the stock collapse in favor of saving their employees.
I mean people can be critical without being load bearing.

If you decide to stop paying your water bill you don't lose service that same day. Typically these layoffs either cause or are a sign of stagnation and then some scrappy startup starts eating away at your market share.
> Caste has repeatedly been used as beating stick to keep Indians(especially Hindus) in line

Can you show one example of this actually happening? While you do that, I'll show you how caste has been used as a beating stick by the upper castes upon the lower castes.

https://apnews.com/article/india-business-religion-599de5789...

Seriously. Back up your claim. I'm struggling to see how anti-caste discrimination can hurt anyone in a way that's unique and can't be easily achieved by other means (you can levy false allegations of anything, so that doesn't count). So now you have one more possible false allegation to join the hundreds, but Dalits are now protected by law, and you see this as a net negative? To me, that speaks volumes.
Thank you!! I have a long drive ahead of me today so this is very welcome.
Suggesting that you shouldn’t be allocating memory and then immediately tossing it doesn’t only suggest that you should practice RCE prone manual strategies.

RAII is dogshit because it encourages and hides the fact of what’s really happening, leading to crazy performance gotchas. Just knowing the gotchas around it is often enough for any half way competent programmer to devise better code.
More code is "write only" than we'd care to admit. And most code that embraces that winds up more stable than you'd expect.

Note that this does not mean that the code is irreplaceable. It just means that you are almost forced to care only about two things: the overall input, and the overall output of the code in question.

This "focus on the input/output" extreme is embraced, at large. We often take it to scatter your program into a ton of easy parts where you can do this with relatively little effort at read/write time. But, zoom out and all of those little parts are almost always just as hard to work with as some of the dense "write only" code that people love to complain about.

I can't see it as a good thing at all. They're effectively being thrown about to yet another operating model which will have a disruptive impact on them.

The new company Songtradr focuses on licensing, it's a b2b, while Bandcamp is a b2c. So it can be easy to see how they'd want to make Bandcamp more like themselves. Of course I'm being negative and cynical, apologies. I share the same fondness for Bandcamp.
Moves like this are obviously part of a top level strategy, not stated explicitly that I know of. I don't know anyone who wants a mobile experience on the desktop or laptop.

I personally find the desktop environment to be 100x more productive and crash-proof, especially the loss of typing in text fields (ruin your day). Also, features like (gasp) a file system took centuries ( in "internet time" ) to find their way to mobile.

I worry every time I switch apps in iOS, and I often copy entire text areas as a precaution.

That said, there's always something more focused and at the same time customizable to your needs and wants, called Linux, coming very soon to my previous workhorse intel Mac Mimi, one of the intel family that Apple is obsoleting at an accelerated pace.

There's a survey done by Equality labs which is fundamental to this law and the one in Seattle city. Other scholars have argued[0] that this survey is flawed in many ways.

There was a case against Cisco systems for alleged caste-based discrimination, which also was often mentioned in such coverage in the past. It is noteworthy that the case was dropped. More details with legalese is here[1] and a piece by Hindu America Foundation (that opposes such bills) is here[2].

Not to say that caste is not an issue among Indians (in India), however using this survey as the ultimate truth and a source for creating laws does not seem wise.

Sorry, but mass layoffs aren't exactly the most rational ones.

There's a lot of "you have to cut X off your salary budget", pick whoever you want. Then it's up to the managers to pick, very subjectively, who they want to work with the most.

FFS - I managed to dodge 4 layoffs at a startup, including my whole department being cut wholesale. My managers always kept me, even though I wouldn't call myself the "best" or "the cheapest". All of it just boils down to one thing - I'm the one that whoever manages me can rely on. Just that... being reliable.

Eh, I don't call it a separate tense if it's the same exact grammar. Like, you can say future events in the present tense in English, maybe when designing a plan ("I go left, then I go straight 10 miles"). Doesn't mean it's some fancy "prophetic present tense."

I have been using a Fairphone 4 with /e/OS for awhile now in the US. AMA.

The experience has been mostly good, with a few irritating issues. I still consider it good though, because I had a flagship Pixel previously and had my share of irritating issues also. I don't really miss Google at all.

* Occasionally the keyboard just disappears. Crashes or something. Killing the AOSP (Android keyboard) service restores it. Hopefully this gets fixed.
* The App Store it comes with only shows open source products, or lets you add in Play Store apps without an account.
* Searching in the app store sometimes stops showing results when I search and I have to clear its data to get them to show again. I think it's related to the Play Store interface.
* Moving off Google Maps is a bit of a learning curve (although you could install it probably). OsmAnd~ or Organic Maps are good enough 85% of the time.
* I find if I hold the phone in my right hand when talking that my ear is not naturally on the speaker and I can't hear people. I've never had an issue like this with a phone. Easy to move, but the beginning of most conversations are still a lot of "are you there's?"

AT&T network works great. Verizon doesn't. You might try it like a fool like me and think it does for awhile, but I promise you it doesn't. The phone doesn't support 1 or 2 of the bands Verizon uses, so sometimes you simply won't be able to receive or make calls or texts. Mint Mobile (T-Mobile) gave me some trouble too but I think those ones could have been resolved but I didn't get network coverage at my house despite the maps, so I gave up. Boost Mobile claims you can use the AT&T or T-Mobile network, but they don't give you a choice, seem to have stopped pushing AT&T, and will refuse to give you the other SIM when you ask for it. RedPocket actually gives you a choice when you sign up.
Yeah, but we're adults and just because we can do something doesn't mean we have to. You can write shit code and you can write shit configs. Python can be written in a declarative style with perhaps a little magic sprinkled when pragmatic to do so. Completely banning imperative programming is like throwing out the baby with bath water.
I appreciate the offer but I'm a bit underwater with the amount that I have on my plate right now. We're using a custom solution in-house for all of our training and hosting and it can definitely be daunting to get that far.

I'm not sure how experienced you are in the field but there are kind of two levels of fine-tuning, full fine-tuning (update all the weights of the model, usually requires 2-3x the memory required for inference). This allows you to change and update the knowledge contained inside the model.

If the model has sufficient understanding already of the content of the task and you want to change how it responds, such as to a specific output format, "personality" or "flavor" of output, or to have it already know the kind of task its performing without including those details in the prompt I would go with parameter efficient fine-tuning.

If you're looking to do a one-off train for a model, you might be able to get away with doing it in something like this: https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui Very easy to use project but it really doesn't allow for the kind of metrics, analysis, or professional grade hosting you'll want.

vLLM can help with the hosting and is really solid once you have the models fine-tuned we tried that at first but its core architecture simply wouldn't work for what we were trying to do which is why we went fully in-house.

Once you get into a lot of fine-tuning, you're probably going to want to do it directly in pytorch or the equivalent for your language of choice. A good resource for seeing how people do this is actually opensource models published on hugging face. Look for some LoRA models, or fine tunes similar to what you'd like. A lot of people publish their training code and datasets on GitHub which can be very useful references.

Right now I'd recommend llama2 as a base model for most general language model based tasks if you don't cross their commercial use threshold (which is very very generous).

Hope this helps!

Even then, the judge is still doing judging.

The jury determine if the defendant is guilty of charges or not, based on the evidence given during the trial. The judge still judges the admissibility of evidence, the conduct of the prosecution and defence, etc., and also determines the punishment or sentence, based on sentencing guidelines, if the jury find the defendant guilty of any charges.
