Actually that is not correct. Math is at the heart of CS and AI. Both came from math and rely on math.
Oh man I missed it, what did Twitter do this time?
On his YouTube channel, he mostly cares about the bigger picture of right to repair rather than talking about its shop. I'm also quite sure he doesn't see his videos as a source of revenue. But saying "it's ok to remove ads from videos" doesn't imply saying "all the work I do is for free, including repairs". Those are just two different things. In discussing ad blockers you're also talking about how they could potentially work in the future, but there's no indication that what you talk about will happen. If it will happen that someone starts using AI to deeply modify a video, content crearors can re-evaluate their stance on the topic, as it would present a very different scenario than the current one.

I would also add that the real world isn't just black or white, one could totally be fine with a certain kind of ads and not with others, as long as is able to provide an argument for it.
I believe the parent project — paradedb — already does that, for their support of HNSW indexes.

I’ve been wondering about variations on panel of experts designs that use a “mob” of small models or possibly a network of them. Sort of like crowdsourcing with baby AIs.

Could we have libraries of small models that are all experts on niche subjects that basically collaborate?

The advantage is that it’s easier to scale and distribute lots of small models on commodity hardware than it is to run giant models that require heaps of contiguous ram.

I’d love to have some time to play with versions of this.
I agree to this one. Google is often pointing to websites that haven’t been updated in years, or reused their content from 2008 by adding 2023 at the end of the headline
Back then there was no regulation. At least we have moved beyond the "Silicon Valley tech bros are good guy hippies" phase. No wonder libertarians hate the government it's the only thing that can stop them.

I find the "state of Elm" over the past couple of years absolutely fascinating. Some folks reasonably claim the language is dead and absolutely not suitable for production due to scarcity of updates, public roadmap, or bug fixes. Others run Elm in production and reasonably claim it's perfect/stable already. There's a steady stream of blog and forum posts on this argument. I read them all.
Assuming a random distribution of yearly returns centered on 0 before fees, with enough fund managers you'd see plenty that would beat the market for 30 years. That past performance would also be in no way indicative of future performance given the stated process.
Choices aren't made equal. Some are easier to make, even unconsciously, than others. For example, choosing immediate pleasure is easier than immediate discomfort. A series of small, incremental choices over time is easier than one large step. Etc.
You can measure. Buy an AQI meter. But I recommend buying an air filter with an AQI meter attached, as when you see what the supposedly negligible amount of smoke is actually doing to your air quality you are going to want the former.
When working for companies the development process is longer and requires input from multiple stakeholders outside of the development team, e.g. product manager, project manager, copy writes. There is a substantial analysis before starting the development. As an independent hacker (indie hacker) you don't have those resources but instead increased agility and speed.
>This makes so little sense I can't really tell whether or not this is in good faith.

It makes a degree of sense. Pick some other non standard "trait" for dividing people and imagine that we need laws for all of them for anti discrimination.

Anti-discrimination laws for your astrological sign, for the color of your chi, for the phrenological map of your skull, maybe ones for your INTJ profile, your New Thought energy types, the amount of toxins in your blood, your blood type, the balance of your humors, your aura, your chakras, your graphology.

I'm not sure I would really want a law codifying astrological signs and banning discrimination based on them. Not because I think you should be discriminating based on astrological signs, but because I don't think our government should be giving any serious legal weight or discussion to the concept of astrology at all. If it's a serious enough problem, I'd rather we work on crafting a law that more specifically codifies the few things we do allow discrimination on, than the innumerable things we won't.
How do smaller creators manage payments in the adult space? I thought it was impossible.
In your hypothetical situation (if it's a two-party system), there might be a problem with defeating such an extremist party even by legal, democratic, non-violent means. Even if such an extremist party can be consistently defeated, how does the political system avoid descending (further) into dysfunction?

If the extremist party remains competitive, doesn't the other party increasingly get drawn away from the public interest and towards entertaining (or at least resisting) extremist policies?

If the extremist party doesn't remain competitive, doesn't the other party win without needing to appeal to voters, leading it into corruption (or at least complacency)?

It seems to me that there are only three ways (violent or otherwise) to restore democracy in a two-party system after one of the two parties turns to extremism:

1) replace the extremist party, restoring two-party democracy

2) rescue the extremist party from extremism, restoring two-party democracy

3) reform the voting system to facilitate multi-party democracy

There's an obstacle to opposing extremism in the United States by democratic means; electoral procedures (such as the Electoral College) too often give victory to a party (extremist or otherwise) without the most votes, so persuading a majority of voters isn't enough.

Nomad looked like a good product until I used it. I was so looking forward to a simpler take on orchestration, having spent years in k8s-land and generally being a fan of Hashicorp in the past.

My tldr now is nomad should be considered harmful.
I have total aphantasia, in fact I still can't believe people can literally visualize things in their heads. However I have pretty good memory of my other senses, especially sound and smell and can "replay" conversations and music pretty well in my head.

>Some people ask me if my aphantasia can be cured. The easy answer is no, because you can’t cure what isn’t a disease, and anyway we don’t know enough about it yet to influence it.

I disagree there, aphantasia is at least a condition and we just began inspecting it seriously, I wish I could contribute in some way.

The real PC revolution was when manufacturers were able to come out with a machine every two years that was much better than what they made two years ago. Machines like the Apple ][ and Atari 2600 lasted a lot longer than their makers thought because upgrading meant replacing all your software until the PC AT clones came around.
Interesting, I posted this a couple days ago but it now seems to have gotten into the second-chance pool.

I used to use Elm, but after all of their hostility to their own users (which you can see with a cursory search online) and the growing popularity of TypeScript, I stopped using it, even though TS is in some ways worse. But sometimes, worse is better, and sometimes, you just want to get things done.
There’s information about me on IMDb that isn’t accurate. Not once ever have I added information about me on IMDb, so where exactly is this authoritative information on IMDb coming from?

> How is your nationality relevant to reading stats? If you don't want to, then just say that.

Sorry maybe I wasn't clear, but that's exactly what I meant. I won't dig into stats for the US because it's of no interest to me. That's why I mentioned I'm not from the US.

I know that for my country that's absolutely not the case and I'm pretty sure it's the same for most of the world.
Then they’ll be disappointed. Accepting gay stuff does not weaken any country or region.
I had the exact same issue and figured out how to solve it:
(from a previous HN comment I left) The issue can be resolved as follows (Windows 10): Windows Settings -> Time & Language -> Language -> Preferred Languages -> Order it so that "English (United States)" is at the top
I previsouly had "English (Switzerland)" at the top. This order influences the "Apps & websites" setting at the top there.
With "English (Switzerland)" my section headings in the Store were French, e.g. "Films et TV" but with "English (United States)" at the top I get "Movies & TV". Of course the section headings, callouts, etc. otherwise are still a mixture of your MS Store region (German in my case) and the Windows display language (English in my case).
Why "English (Switzerland)" would result in French... I don't know.
"Close call" in the recall election -- hardly. Newsom won the recall question with a 23.8% margin.
> So which is it ? fast or needs flatpak?

Are they mutually exclusive?

If you don't like flatpaks it seems to be available on the AUR, fedora or homebrew if you're using mac. Debian repositories are always lagging behind for new stuff so that's no surprise but the dev provides a script for installing dependencies on the rest of the distributions somewhat customized to your flavor if you're willing to build from source. There is a debian directory so it seems like they started the process of getting included but you'll have to verify in the mailing-lists to see what the current status is.

I'd say that's plenty of options to choose from. The simplest being flatpak. Are you a package maintainer yourself? Do you know how much work is involved to get into the main repositories? This is not npm.
> About the only heavy thing will be the text editor, and I'm still keeping that at a few thousand lines (+ a small core data structure library).

What I found to work really well to trim down my own text-editor was a combination of externalising all menus etc.. E.g. opening files, selecting themes, selecting buffers, all call out to scripts using rofi or similar to do the actual selection, and going client-server so that e.g. I get multiple windows etc. "for free" by just spawning another instance of the frontend which reattaches to the same server.

It's still certainly not 500 lines, but small-ish.

> When you cut requirements you can make things small and easy to understand.

Fully agree with this, and one great way of keeping requirements small like this for me is that I started with the idea that this is my editor. I will only cater to my requirements for the editor itself, but split out shared/reusable functionality in separate libraries so if anyone wants to fork it one day and make their editor we can share much of the code without either of us having to sacrifice.

I think too many people insist that everything they build need to be a "product" that they'll let grow to satisfy as many people as possible even when it'd be better to end up with a dozen smaller, more focused tools.
It's awesome to have people involved with this work here.

I’m told this system made more sense back in the days where coins made of precious metals were the dominant form of money. The Spanish Dollar was made of silver and had lines on it so that if you needed to make change you could simply cut it.

>“The dollar was divided into "pieces of eight," or "bits," each consisting of one-eighth of a dollar.”

From there it makes sense that if you needed to further subdivide an eighth of a dollar you could get another coin that is worth some fraction of an eighth of a dollar, and so on. But this starts to get a little weird because all of these other coins start using different metals and each of them have their own exchange rate that fluctuates.

In any event a decimalized currency was a big innovation. So much so that we think of anything else as baffling.

Just a reminder:

Power companies in the US are primarily government regulated monopolies. These are the same monopolies that duped the public into replacing incandescent bulbs with LEDs claiming they would save power. At the same time, though, these companies lobbied the regulatory bodies and stated that their projected profits were down, because consumption was 'lower than expected' and hiked our rates across the board.

There is competition in the gasoline space. There is none or next to none in the power space.

What do you think will happen to the costs of 'fueling' electric vehicles here in the US when 50% or more of our vehicles are electric?

Time to revisit those rates!
Buffet is arguably the best who’s ever done it. He can do things your layperson shouldn’t try. Just because Bruce Lee could do an impressive spin kick, it doesn’t make spin kicks a good idea for 99% of people to try in a self defense situation.
Why wouldn't it be profitable? All they really do is take money from people, give them to other people, and take a cut of it.

I was under the impression that Patreon is struggling because their profits aren't enough to balance out the 9 digits of VC money they greedily took in, not because there's no profits.
I like Nomad a lot. It is even more lightweight than k3s and has served my low-budget projects very well.
A little sad to see things are going this way.
On the Pi 4, the BCM2711 supposedly supports 16 GiB (35-bit address space, with top half for peripherals and bottom half for SDRAM)[0 pg 5]. However, there seems to be some firmware limitation that limits you to 8 GiB of RAM, even if a 16 GiB chip is installed.[1] I would assume the BCM2712 would have the same address space (or bigger), and, as such, could support 16 GiB (or more) of RAM, but the firmware is written with the assumption that only 8 GiB of RAM will be installed.

The Pi firmware comes as a binary blob, but has there been any effort to reverse engineer it?

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: the ability for the executive to veto the work of the legislature serves only conservatives and turns any legislative body into a farce.

The California legislature has more in common with the USSR’s legislature than the UK.
I mean I get that and hooray competition I guess? Personally, I don’t want either of those men in charge of a utility like that. ~Elon has already shown that he’ll mess with Starlink out of spite~, and Bezos is a person who does not understand _anything_ about what being a person is.

Correction: Musk did not adhere to a request from the Ukrainian government to extend Starlink to parts of Crimea

> the Ukrainian government had asked him to activate Starlink "all the way to Sevastopol," the largest city in Crimea, and he [Musk] refused to do that to avoid escalating the conflict.

I still don’t agree with someone having the option to deny potentially critical communication services in a conflict when that person has zero military expertise.
It's a minor difference (3 years), there are a lot of other reasons that can contribute to difference in life expectancy than health care. Europe is very much, you know, don't do anything, sit at a home all days. Americans are more likely to live their life and get out - which comes with obvious danger, but at least Americans might experience life!
My parents had a subscription long ago and recently I thought I would grab it. A print magazine with no ads and relevant content?

The intro offer was "10 issues for $20 plus TWO FREE GIFTS" (emphasis theirs). I got a renewal notice and did the math, realizing I was only getting 8 issues. Support told me this was correct, they did a combined issue this year they're counting as two. I point out that there's only 9 then, and they tell me the "Annual Buying Guide" listed as one of the free gifts counts as an issue for the intro offer despite not counting as an issue for an annual subscription.

It's such a tiny bit of false advertising, but it's enough that I can't trust them on anything and immediately unsubscribed.
It's actually a greater difference. VAT in the EU is 21% on average. Gasoline taxes are more than double.

The easiest way to see the difference is tax revenue as a percentage of GDP. France is 46%, Germany 37%, UK 33%.

The US is 27%.
For pure-software projects, where you could just throw an x86 thin client at it for cheaper anyway, yeah the pi4→pi5 upgrade path is quite straightforward.

But for anything involving raw GPIO, you know, the reason you might want a true embedded board instead of a commodity PC, the pi5 has completely changed the architecture. The GPIO pins used to come straight off the BCM CPU with direct register access, now they're peripherals of the RP1 southbridge IC which is connected over PCIe.

Chief in my mind is the rpitx/pifm projects, which (ab)use the DMA pipeline to cram baseband-rate samples into the PWM registers and make a GPIO pin oscillate at radio frequencies. Connect a (bandpass filter, please! and a) piece of wire, and voila, the board becomes a radio transmitter.

This simply won't work on the pi5 without a complete rewrite of the core. Someone will have to figure out if the RP1 even offers similar capability, figure out if PCIe packet jitter will screw it up or if there's some buffering possible in the RP1, and rearchitect the whole project around it.

However, neither of those projects has seen much activity lately. In other words, it ain't likely to happen. Just keep using 3's and 4's for this.

For some stuff, pifmrds for instance, stereo processing really chews through CPU, and precludes running a station-automation package on the same iron. It would be really nice to have a faster CPU wrapped around the same transmit capability, but that's not what the pi5 is. If someone builds a station-in-a-box around this, it'll have a pi5 for the front-end but a pi4 as the actual exciter.
I use Tasmota on a couple smart wifi plugs and apart from it being very reliable and doing what it says I don't have any development experience with it. But isn't toit a language and jaguar an app as opposed to Tasmota being a complete firmware that merely includes Berry as the runtime?
This is correct.

If it helps, you can think of your terraform files as HEAD and the state file as HEAD~1
High. I never used to notice. But after paying more attention to air quality in my environment, I now notice when air quality is particularly bad when before I hadn't. Sitting around a campfire feels like at least pack of cigarettes was smoked.
Reddit quite literally links out to SO and blogs for any technical query that is beyond "how to list folder in linux".

This has nothing to do with a writer's perspective but Google's inability to address basic indexing issues like understanding whether the page is actually useful in a sense that it explains the root cause of the problem, or does it say shit like "this has been answered already, just search for it".

Since they started to roll out this update I am constantly running into either:

- Useless Reddit posts with 1/2 comments.

- Useless forum posts that are locked behind registration.

It's not that there's a problem with these sites inherently, the problem is that Google is promoting pages that basic NLP could tell you is worthless because it doesn't actually provide an answer - it's a question in of itself.

Smart people don’t consider themselves better than people around them.

This article is so annoying.

It has some truth to it, e.g. the mismatch between incentives and success, or even the corporate bullshit to avoid saying hard truths are on point.
But the second part lacks the proper reasoning needed to establish the self-proclaimed intelligence of it author.
Comparing software development’s product building with fencing competitions is so far-fetched, yet most of the arguments of the second part build on this premise.
You don’t need amazing individuals to build a great thing, what you need is a great team. That’s why most people try to address the system. It’s hard to do when you factor in individual incentives, but it’s not because everybody is dumb, it’s because everybody (smartly) addresses their own self-interests above the company’s.
