It's strange, but I think I figured it out - there's some sort of delay, seemingly, between a response appearing in the thread and the option to reply being there.

So let me leave my wrong statement above intact and add that OP did not censor me, I just have no patience for this service, apparently lol
Regular reminder to keep your personal (if any meaningful activity beyond "portfolio-building") and employee (aka professional) GitHub accounts separate.

There are multiple reasons for this. Using one account for both is not desired for the worker nor the employer. Especially if you want to retain your GH profile between employments.

One reason is similar to why you shouldn't run your GSuite business from the same Google account you go on crunk YouTube rants with.
I am moderately skeptical of the story that it was the fingerprint alone which led them to the kidnapper, and I am curious for more details. I have a vague suspicion the police had a pretty good idea of who they were looking for already, and while the fingerprint confirmed it, eventually they would have picked the same guy up. The existence of the fingerprint allows them to keep other sources and methods discreet.

That being said I'm not implying that the cops did anything illegal or even untoward. And further if this goes to trial the defense is certainly entitled to the full story, but it seems likely this guy will plead guilty and we might not know for years why the cops came to look at this guy.
Well, it's not Facebook, Twitter, Discord or the like. I'll to you that. It's mostly actual websites written in HTML (like HN). But even with no websites loaded if you tried to open 500 blank Chrome tabs you'd run out of RAM. That's just the nature of per-tab many process browsers.

And 500 is just my actively loaded tabs. I have another 500 suspended.

The author says he achieved text-to-SVG generation but doesn't point to a code repository for it... It would be super interesting (or does gpt-4 do it natively?)

That said, I'm not sure that you need GPT-4 for outlining a BW image and making a path out of it; Corel Draw did that well, over 25 years ago?

So yes, another approach to what the author is doing, would be to generate font bitmaps using any of the leading image generators, and then vectorize the bitmaps. Less straightforward and precise, but probably simpler.
Probably using a remote.

In an ideal lawful society, a disagreement over gas won't escalate into a violent confrontation. So the attendent can intervene, because they aren't in physical danger.
It's needed when you collect the data. Cursor position is being used directly to make the service "function" though. Even if the function it enables is pretty novel. This is entirely debatable, and probably matters less than showing were your cursor is in a google doc.

Regardless, I don't think it matters since the author is not in the EU.
What I really want is a small editor that prohibits me from deleting things, as a typewriter dies. I switched to pen and paper for my drafts and it's all but ended my incessant self-editing that plagues my writing process. I'm sure a real typewriter would be more paper efficient.

Now I just stick with what's on the page and edit what I dislike later.

It would be handy for a digital version of that though.
Cool stuff! Do you have any thoughts about how this compares to https://github.com/fabianlindfors/reshape?
it also gets into pretty uncomfy territory when you consider hereditary diseases that have a 40-60% percent curable rate in 5 years and most likely 90% rate in 10. Do you still abort under such circumstances?
Side note: If you're at a pump with those stupid TV things, try and hit...right side, second button from the top. This usually activates mute. Some people go to the effort of putting little stickers indicating where the mute button is. Other times you can tell which one it is if the button is heavily scuffed. If that button doesn't work, just try pressing each of the other ones on there. In my own experience, it doesn't hurt to try. I think one time the left side, bottom button worked too.

Whatever the case, I find those infernal things to not only be obnoxious, but a potential safety risk. I mean, you have a customer literally in the process of handling large quantities of dangerous, liquid flammable material which emits fumes that can be ignited by a spark, with potentially inadequate controls in place to stop it killing people. So, let's distract them with shrill, unwanted blather-boxes showing distracting imagery. I make a point of trying to avoid gas stations that have those stupid things installed precisely for that reason - I don't trust that location to put my safety above them making $.0002 from some shady ad network.

I just can't stand that there is such a concerted effort for this war on silence. Just give me a few minutes of simple contemplation.
They are different tools. Spreadsheets allow for much faster iteration than SQL.

Following some strict "best practices" when using spreadsheets gets you 80% of the way there. The other 20% is functionality that doesn't exist yet, but can be done.
>But on the other hand, having a car also has its benefits. Many anti-car people really underestimate the value of having your own means of transportation, going to and fro on your own time, and the inherent privacy being in your own car provides. I love driving because I can listen to a podcast/music or making a call without someone breathing down my neck or hitting me with their bag as often happens on the train/bus.

No one is underestimating the benefits of having a car. The problem with cars is that you receive the positive externalities like coming and going whenever you want, and all the negative externalities are given to other people.

A city that is good for driving is not going to be good for any other mode of transit. Your ability to drive directly takes from others ability to walk or ride a bike. The neighborhoods that need to get bulldozed to build the ever increasing road infrastructure are the cost of your ability to listen to a podcast without being near other people. The people who didn't get bulldozed then have to breath in the pollution from your car lowering their quality of life and life expectancy. Fast roads are terrible for walking, and motorists are killing pedestrians at an ever increasing rate.

I'm not anti-car. I own a car because it's very hard for Americans to get by without one, due to the car lobby. I'm pro-pedestrian and pro-transit.

>I'm sure there's probably some middle ground to be found here.

Low traffic neighborhoods are the middle ground. It's literally just diverting through motorists onto roads that are designed for through motorists.

Car culture is about entitlement. Anything that reduces motorists ability to drive as fast as possible absolutely everywhere they want is going to be seen as an attack in the wAr oN cArS!!!
Very different intended purpose...
What you're saying does not contradict what I'm saying. The thing you're describing works on a much higher level than what I was describing, for example in this case the doctor needs to fulfill at least the following requirements (from his own point of view):

1- He's independent agent who's watching and describing another independent agent in a real objective world

2- He acknowledge that there is cause/effect in principal (that's why they can deduce that there are flaws in the patient mind just based on external behaviour)

3- The doctor is trusting that he's not himself hallucinating, and that he's indeed see'ing real things and he's not just a programmed robot doing some random job.

and so on.

--

As you can see I was talking about very basic level, it's the level that allow you to build another more complex level of information, and which any other information is necessarily less reliable than it. Because trusting that I'm independent agent who exists in an objective world along another independent agents is a necessary Premise to accept any external information provided by those other agents, and any information provided by those agents that contradicts this basic experience it also destroys any reliability in the objectivity and correctness of their existence for me and any input provided by them. Hence, any "scientific" paper that contradicts my direct experience about myself (e.g Free will) is necessarily less reliable than said experience no matter what is the impact factor of the journal.
> noble-minded judge, as you describe, wouldn't last a year

I know a few judges, albeit not federal ones. They’re generally the philosophical type. The ambitious ones are keenly aware that their decisions will be re-hashed for the rest of their career. Also, judges being bound by “tradition, ritual and form” is an important part of the rule of law. Respecting that is a major component of justice.
Sort of, but that is super brittle, doesn't quite have an understanding of "types" and is not really feature complete
Detroit has really come up in the past 5 years. I recommend folks visit and check it out. Motor City's downtown actually has decent public transit via bus and light rail, and it's very walkable* during the nice season. Lots of entertainment.

> It supercharges Prisma ORM with a powerful access control layer and unleashes its full potential for full-stack development.

I’m sure this is a cool project (and I’m gonna dig in a bit more) but…come on. Let’s tone it down a bit.

edit

Ok dig in a bit more. Seems interesting. Is it fair to say this could be a self hosted alternative to supabase? The way that it uses row level security policies to enable querying the db directly from the client seems 1:1 with this, but with the additional benefit of getting to use Prisma.

Just having an unused radio on the motherboard wouldn't necessarily be a meaningful attack surface. That radio would somehow have have a software path of some sort up the stack into the application business logic that controlled the pump. Unless this was something as basic as a root shell from the BT driver, there must be some participating software in there somewhere.
Should be stressed that speed is entirely theoretical: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/aelm.202101...

> In all of the above tests, the program and erase states were set using between 1 and 10 ms voltage pulses, two times longer than the switching times used in our recent report of ULTRARAM on GaAs substrates.[15] In both cases, the devices operate at a remarkably high speed for their large (20 μm) feature size. Assuming ideal capacitive scaling[33] down to state-of-the-art feature sizes, the switching performance would be faster than DRAM, although testing on smaller feature size devices is required to confirm this.

> Why do you even need a cpu cache?

Cell read time is entirely different from latency and throughput. This stuff still reads in rows like RAM and can't just be accessed freely like registers.
I'm not sure what's my favorite part of this question, but I think it's the fact that you undoubtedly have, like me, agreed to all sorts of outlandish terms on corporate EULAs.

You saw the South Park episode, what they call it, with the... oh yeah, The Human Centipad, you saw that, right?

Does Mastodon even have an EULA? Maybe it needs one. It could say "Your data is your data, we do not own it, we won't sell it, and we also won't guarantee to store it for you indefinitely, so do your backups like a smart person."

edit cause I can't be bothered anymore

Yep. Have a great day!
Two separate terms here, pickling is a serialization method for Python objects (unrelated to AI per se).

Then "weights" is just referring to a model's weights, a specific instance of a python object that can be pickled.

I am early 50’s, retired software engineer, and having a blast designing and building weird GPS clocks and digital toys. (https://digitalhorology.com)

The transition was easy. As a consultant, I gradually took on less paid work for other people and more things for myself. My house & yard take up a lot of time, and I mentor my college-age kids and a neighborhood teenager.
Our focus is on writing jobs in your existing codebase. That means you use your existing development workflow (code editor, version control, etc) and can access your database and existing code easily.

I'd also say that Windmill, and other similar tools like Airplane, are more focused on internal tools. Building internal admin tools and related workflows.

Our users are building some internal tools but also core parts of their product that involve user interaction.
If you can sudo, you already have root, albeit limited. It's more of an ergonomic feature to discourage users logging in as root and destroying the system, than any kind of reliable security compartmentalization.

Realistically speaking, most applications you would want to allow others to run as sudo were never designed to withstand such attacks and will likely fail in the hands of a competent attacker that is free to use any command line, feed any input etc.
Sadly their license is terrible.
Yes to be clear I agree that doing business with Russian citizens in russia itself is not something I would do. I was referring to Russian corporations that basically migrated away from Russia but still have a most Russian (by citizenship) staff.

Also, just to provide a source and details on the extradition offer, they offered to extradite him to a third country for trial which I think is more than reasonable, but the US said that there was no need for proof or process.

Eh, sure latency is suboptimal. But if you have a LLM in the mix, that latency will dominate the overall response time. At that point you might not care about how performant your index is, and since performance/cost is non linear, it can translate to very significant savings
I understand why some people don't want to pay this amount of money upfront based on the specs alone. From a "per year" cost I still think it's competitive

If they really manage to support this device for 10 years, that's $75 per year, which I think is relatively cheap

My use-case for a phone does not need a lot of processing power. I use it for messaging, checking emails, watch a bit of YouTube, and catch up on the news. I feel reasonably confident that it will be able to perform those tasks 8-10 years down the line

On top of that I also appreciate that I can buy a device that is sourced with consideration for workers and the environment. It's never good for the environment to produce new devices, but the option to limit the impact is important to me
Would you say that the US(76k per capita) is poorer than Lichtenstein(184k)?
> Yes, they can tell the time but there are better ways of knowing the time nowadays. Especially if you care about accuracy, a smartwatch connected to a smartphone connected to an atomic clock is more accurate than your Rolex.

I agree that expensive watches are mostly status symbols, but a quartz watch is accurate to about 15 seconds a month, which unless you're in the military is good enough accuracy, may I ask what you do day-to-day that requires you to have atomic-clock levels of time accuracy?
> Or is this the new normal?

Its the new normal! Doctors book out forever, and they overbook.

When you do go there, the actual doctor looks at you for 30 seconds and moves on, like you're on a factory conveyer belt. And the efficiency seems to really drop when you need more than one doctor.

Don't go to the ER either... Go to urgent care first if you can't find someone, and take their referral to the ER or a doctor.
> So my suggestion is quite simple. The solution for Argentina is to let the central bank be in charge of "money printing" and get rid of all political influence on it.

Interesting comment (all of it). However, and with all due respect, it sounds like what an economist would say.

Anyone: Kindly post a list of ten billionaires or moguls of industry who have degrees in economics.

Last time I looked, that's an empty set. There are none.

Economists are fantastic about launching into complex explanations of everything, and yet, if I had to trust someone with my money the last thing I would do is give it to an economist. They don't know what they are talking about.

This suggestion about Argentina is a perfect example of this. Having lived there, I can tell you that what you are proposing as "simple" is in a range between impossible and ridiculous.

One of the problems with Americans --if I were to generalize-- is that we are not taught anything about the failures in the histories of nations, particularly those in our own continent. Nobody learns from success before first learning from failure.

I have always --for decades now-- referred to Argentina as "A time machine for the United States". Everything you see happening in the US today and going back a number of years has happened in Argentina multiple times over time.

In more general terms, this is true of all of Latin America combined.

Except for those of us who have spent a non-trivial amount of time outside of the US, the rest of our population is utterly ignorant of history and culture outside their own cities. This it terrible. And this is reflected in the way the population of the US votes. Which is to say, they elevate stupidity to a virtue.

Everything happening in the US today has happened elsewhere. We know exactly what the outcomes could be. None of it is good. This is not a formula for excellence, growth and self-reliance. The outcome will not be pleasant.

I wonder who will sing "Don't cry for me USA" in the musical?
I really enjoyed this episode. The most surprising thing to me is how easily so many people seem to have been sucked in by the demo. I'm fairly sure I would never believe it was true until the clean-room test was shown to me. I guess I can't know how compelling the mere display of video with fast-forward/reverse was at that time.
Still war driving in the 21st Century. I love it.
Without going into the details of how and why any specific person came to have a specific belief, I have the following heuristic: when someone makes a claim, especially when the stakes are high, I ask "who does that benefit?" Now that doesn't mean that they're intentionally trying to benefit whomever that benefits. It doesn't mean that they're wrong.

So, Russia invaded and occupied Ukraine. Who does it benefit to be claiming "there should be peace?"

Obviously it benefits the invader.

It's easy to have peace, you just have to surrender.

Another heuristic that I have is to ask: "do this person's claims always benefit the same side?"
Out of curiosity, how old is your rural town where you live? And how old is the tallest building?

In a huge amount of US small towns, the largest downtown buildings in most of them, forming the economic core of that town, are also some of the oldest, and it would be illegal today to build the buildings around which those towns revolve.

It was true in NY and Pennsylvania when I lived in that area, and it's true here in Oregon.
> 2. The need to codify an incentives market which then lead to the creation of filecoin took a lot of effort and setting up a trustworthy org around that one and ipfs got even more challenging

I see this as a non-goal: HTTP is doing fine without an "incentives market", and that's the sort of core layer IPFS is suited for. When I switch off my HTTP servers, there's no expectation that the resources they're hosting remain accessible; and the same is true for IPFS. The advantage of IPFS is that it allows resources to remain accessible, e.g. if someone else cares enough to host it too, or if I happen to have copies buried on some old boxen (without having to coordinate some load-balanced shenanigans up-front).

For example, we can avoid "leftpad" fiascos if software companies could host their own dependencies (as in, contribute to ensuring their canonical URLs resolve; rather than current practice of re-hosting copies at myriad private URLs, or routing their network through caching proxies).

Good luck to other projects which want to work on such a thing (Filecoin, etc.), but it's mostly orthogonal to IPFS itself.
