Much depends on the topics you cover and the target readers you want to reach. As others have noted, ePub is the standard for ebook publishing. But if you want to publish a printed edition as well in the future, your toolchain would have to support pdf as well.

Pandoc can convert almost everything in everything and is great for terminal nerds. However, be aware that formatting pdfs for common self publishing distributors like KDP (Amazon) has some strict requirements.

For someone without the nerd dns, Vellum is a great software on the Mac that formats ePub and pdf as required for different vendors and print formats. The best feature is that you have one manuscript and export to ePub and pdf. Including graphics works quite well, but sometimes clever positioning for pdf is a bit tricky. Be aware that Vellum is a paid software and it is not suited for equations and docs that require very formal formatting (on the other hand, ePub ebooks are generally not a very good choice here).

But before you choose your toolchain, be aware that writing and formatting the manuscript is only a small part of self publishing. You need distribution and marketing, proof-reading and a business model.

Amazon can help with distribution, but you could publish via your own website, Gumroad and numerous other platforms. Do you want to only sell the ePub? Or sell add-ons, courses, bundles etc.? Amazon is okay for mass market topics, however there is a large competition and you have to have a marketing strategy. Selling via Gumroad allows for bundles and greater flexibility, but is better suited for niche topics. Again: You have to do the marketing.

Does your target group prefer printed books? Amazon/KDP can help here with print on demand. Beware anything where you print (and buy) hundreds or thousands of books in advance: You will have your garage filled with them and never sell them all because of logistics.

So, please don't only focus on the toolchain and the doc to ebook step. That is one of the easier parts in the equation.

Are you sure it's the same people? That said, even if it is, there's something to be said for intentionally sharing a constrained set of code vs using something that spies on you in real life.
I feel like the centralisation of server resources for something like copilot doesn’t really make sense. Many (most) professional developers are working on beefy laptops. If ever there were a case to run these models client side, a software developer’s laptop is probably the ideal place. What are the specs that are needed to run inference on these models?
Germany probably could not refuse delivery without political fallout from increased gas prices, right? It could have been a “Cortés burning the ships” moment, with elements inside NATO (maybe even within the German government) cutting off Russian gas irrevocably in order to prevent domestic considerations from influencing German decision makers.

The story of “Russians so crazy they blew up their own pipeline that gave them huge cash flows plus undue influence on European politics” just makes absolutely no sense to me.
I think there is probably few percent of revenue to find but person pirating 10 $60 (or now $70) games is not going to buy 10 games when they won't be able to pirate them.

They might save up to buy one $60 game. Or wait for it to go on sale and buy it for $30

On flip side, seeing some DRM-ridden game often just makes me throw it on wishlist and buy in a year or two when they remove it and game is now half the price.... not like I have time to play all the games I want anyway

But that's exactly the problem, it shouldn't require a enterprise grade tool just to host a simple website on the internet. We've lost something due to our inability to stop attacks at the source and heavy overreliance on massive cloud providers to do it for us.

2FA and password managers didn't make us heavily reliant on massive companies.

One of the main things that’s been keeping me away from Bambu was the reliance on their cloud system. It’s also completely proprietary, which, while it works well, is annoying.

The reason I haven’t gotten a Prusa Mk4 yet is because the input shaping stuff looks… mediocre at best, is incompatible with hardware modifications, and because and there is no webcam/spaghetti detection by default.

Bambu making a printer that can be run fully offline, with heated chamber with air filtering (that’s another 500€ with Prusa, without heating)… supporting Prusa is getting harder and harder.

Bambu is still proprietary, so that’s still in Prusa’s favour.

Josef, can you please make a CoreXY heated enclosure printer? I’d gladly give you a handful thousand dollars for that.
There is already an RFC we could apply, just implement forced RFC3514 compliance and filter any packets with the evil bit set.

Just remove the ∈ and ⟨ characters, and make braces mandatory:

By the way, the same should have been done with if and while: optional parentheses, mandatory braces:

if a == b {
// code
}

while idx < end {
// code
}
Not remotely the same for micro usb. It wasn't the same law.

Now it will be a chicken and egg problem. No one will want to put a new connector in phones, because they'd need usb c too anyways. So no new standard will emerge with wide enough industry support. If the micro usb "mandate" was as binding and restrictive as this one, we would not have had usb c.
This discussion is somewhat reminiscent of "Don't hex the water"..

I thought the evidence was that this did actually have a substantial impact on lifetime earnings and employment. The data I saw actually related to unemployment, but I would be surprised if it didn't have an impact. There are more opportunities to shine when things are on the up, and that benefit will persist into the bad times later. It's kind of like taking steroids as an athlete early on... you might stop later, but the muscle mass is still there.
How do I bias a coin flip?

Based on the paper it looks like 55% chance that it will land on the same side it started is possible. This was the most extreme subject.

The bias is caused by procession so I want my flip to process as much as possible. Maybe I offset my finger as far away from the center of the coin as possible. Also putting as much force into it as possible is probably a good idea.

Finally I have to catch it in a way that the top side is facing up when I reveal it.

Any thoughts?
An A100 GPU costs ~$10,000. You'll struggle to run even a small LLM with a GPU under $1k right now (there are some exceptions, but it's hard to find a lot of memory under that)
> I really fail to see what people see even in Nvidia/Cuda

They're a nice middle ground between a GP CPU and ASICs that is well suited to the kinds of workloads that venture capitalists are, for the moment, interested in investing in. And it's possible that there are enough applications that benefit from GPU architecture that it's more efficient to force a GPU to pretend to be a CPU instead of having a CPU.

Most likely it's just another cycle of the RISC vs CISC pendulum. Like cloud vs desktop, physical vs virtual, serial vs parallel, monolithic vs micro, etc. We'll stick with CUDA and use it to solve as many problems as we can with that method, and then as we discover new ways to create or organize GP CPUs, we'll shift back to those until we find that problems get hard to solve again.
Tooling is mostly unimportant. Writing the actual book should consume much more of your time. Unless you have very specific requirements around the output
(e.g. one of my books has animations so I wanted something that made them easy to embed: https://www.creativescala.org/creative-scala/cycles/interpol...) spending time on tooling is yak shaving. Choose something using a tool chain you can live with and move on.

For selling books, try to do most of your sales via your own site. Gumroad is a good partner for selling PDFs. Lulu is pretty good for printed books. Amazon is a necessary evil due to their reach, but they will charge a much higher fee than doing it yourself and they are evil. If you don't self publish your royalty rate will be such that except for the few best selling books you won't make any significant money. It can be worth going with an established publisher if you want the prestige (and perhaps you can leverage that into $s) but in most cases I think self publishing is a better option.

Let me again emphasize writing the actual book is much more important than messing around with tools.
Hey, just curios, can you link your app.

That can only compile a very limited subset of normal code.

I was also surprised by this low number. Even if we go low and assume only a 10% profit margin on LEGO sets and assume the average LEGO set costs $46.31 (https://brickset.com/article/31370/a-decade-of-lego-in-graph...). And assume this set costs $1,000 for LEGO to produce (low economics of scale).

That means donating 600 sets will cost them the profit of selling:

(600 sets * $1,000) / (10% profit * $46.31 per normal LEGO set sold) = 129,562 LEGO sets.

Assuming 220,000,000 sets sold per year (https://www.google.com/search?q=lego+set+sold+per+year, this number comes back a few times) this means LEGO donated:

(129,562 / 220,000,000) * 1 year = 0.0006 years ≈ 5 hours and 20 minutes of profits.

If I calculate my income over a 5 hours and 20 minutes period (based on dividing my monthly salary by working 36 hours per week), it would be equivalent to me donating €160 to a good cause. Not something I'd publish a proud blog post about.
It seems strange that there are no test cases for this. Is that normal from nginx? And committed straight to master with no PR - is this a mirror from somewhere else, or the official repository?

Also interestingly, this extends beyond a two-sided coin, to any number of possible results, like a die with N sides.

To get a fair result from a biased dN: Roll it N times. If you don't get all N distinct results, restart. If you do, then the first of those is your final result.

Cloudflare explicitly says it's an unknown threat actor: https://blog.cloudflare.com/zero-day-rapid-reset-http2-recor...
When you put it like that, yes. Hardware is cheap and all that. In practice I think that an organization that doesn't understand the software it is developing has a people problem. And people problems generally can't be solved with hardware.

If somebody knows how to make that insight actionable, let me know. No, hiring new people is not the answer. In all likelihood that swaps one hard problem for an even harder.
While that’s technically true, it does use a severely cut down version thereof which is worse in every way: it only supports paragraphs, code blocks, and emphasis so the ability to format is extremely limited but the emphasis can still screw you over, which requires an explicit preview (or posting) to notice.

And I think escaping emphasis was only introduced somewhat recently? I do remember that for the longest time you basically had to trick HN into not breaking your comments by using a different character in stead.

Yes, but if these cloud providers didn't exist eventually there'd be botnets that no site could protect against, rather than the status quo of at least some sites being able to resist them. The idea that the existence of cloud providers that can soak up a lot of traffic is making things worse by causing botnets to get more powerful just seems silly.
Hahaha. I love this.
There's a huge range of CPU and memory requirements to run these models. The lower end of the range can be run locally but performance is noticeably worse. I'm guessing this will change as more people are looking at efficiency now. Specialized hardware like Apple's Neural Engine on the MacBook Pro may also help.
It matters little what science or anthropology generally says -- nationalist/nativist ideology pretty much always fits the facts to the desired outcome, and ignores those that can't be made to do so. (From any "side")

In the end, "legitimacy" of a group claiming exclusive access to a piece of land comes down to might-makes-right.

The other stuff is usually window dressing.
> email

facebook/nextdoor/discord send me vague "you missed a message/notification" email spam all the time, and it's never been worth my time to actually visit the app/website to see what they're notifying me. Slack and github, on the other hand, send me the actual message so I don't have to open a huge app and navigate tons of BS just to see it's somebody saying "LOL!", and 99% of the time it's something I'm actually involved in or interested or subscribed to.
No, its only slower over PTY because the kitty protocol is transmitting images with higher fidelity, aka color accuracy. So if you want to compare apples to apples get sixel to transmit images with equal fidelity first. I'll go raise three generations of my family while you try to achieve that.

As for infinitely faster, that was obvious hyperbole. For local transmission, using shared memory to transmit RGBA data directly is going to absolutely crush serializing then transmitting over a pipe the de serializing. This is so obvious it doesnt even need to be stated. And the vast majority of image display and indeed terminal usage in general happens locally not remotely. Which is why the kityt protocol sensibly prioritizes that use case.
Google Kubernetes Engine incident spanning 9 days
Languages are complicated :)

It seems like you can have a little DSL that is pretty simple and good for small tasks, but doesn't always scale well upwards (think Awk). The tools built to be scaled are awful for small and quick stuff.

I think something like Forth is pretty nice for building up a shell language, but the stack methodology for everything is both a blessing (simplicity) and a curse (let's be honest.. pretty weird).

I really like the idea of powershell, but the performance is just abysmal, so a lot of heavy data processing work is a no-go even if it's fun.

I’ll entertain this when C fixes (or at least removes) integer promotion, which is a source of far more bugs and misunderstandings than this could ever be: `.` auto-deref-ing does not actively undermine what little type system C has.
No, but it does use:

As an average user, wayfire has been pretty reliable since 0.7.5. It is just its ecosystem needs more work.
Creating hype around tokens with LLMs and hedging across virtual exchanges powered by artificial liquidity produced by cabal of token creators and exchange operators is apparently cheaper than accessing the physical world to create a physical token to appeal to millions of years of 'monkey have' instinct. Either way, it's monkeys all the way down.

>I think they know this too because they are pushing for disaggregation of services from Ottawa right now and actually have a chance of that because the cost of doing that is minimal and it will make their ultimate goal of leaving much easier if we have provincial pensions, police force, tax collection, etc. already in place.

Oh, sure, the meltdown on Reddit over the plans to establish Alberta's own pension is an indication of just how worried the opponents are. Since they can't deny Quebec's precedent here, they're freaking out over how it would destroy the CPP, while simultaneously avoiding the obvious implication that claiming such would reinforce Alberta's complaints about being drained to support the rest of the country. I haven't seen similar meltdowns about reestablishing APP but I probably just haven't looked hard enough.

Constant transmission is what makes it so useful, though
That's how it went when I was solving problems at the Statistics course at university. I modeled the problem perfectly, got the wrong result. Changed assumptions, got the wrong result. Checked the solution, its reasoning didn't make much sense anyway. Run a simulation, got an approximate result close to the correct solution.
What a sensational way to write this headline. Focusing on profits vs the 11% decline in revenues which is a more salient number.
That's a problem with all LLMs. They will average what they are trained on, without any reflection what is good and what is not. They shouldn't be called intelligent (AI), they're information meatgrinders.

There's a fairly major problem with that in our current environment: Requiring every property owner—or even every landlord—to offer their property for sale at a reasonable price to anyone who is willing to pay it is guaranteed to funnel most or all properties in a given area to one or a very small number of large corporations, which are then at liberty to dictate conditions to all their tenants (possibly even beyond the minimums the law specifies, if they're powerful enough to ignore that).

The only way this can be avoided, IMO, is if the law also specifies the maximum rent that can be charged as a fraction of the value of the property (or the fraction of the property a given unit represents). Otherwise, the large corporations can simply buy all the property that is now always on the market, and charge rents just exorbitant enough to make massive profits, while not being quite enough to drive everyone out of the area.
I assumed that the 1% bias was entirely due to coins that did not undergo any rotation at all. However, reading that you told people that the coin has to flip at least once, I think I assumed wrongly. It sounds like the bias is due to coins that have undergone an integral number of 360-degree rotations (not zero rotations). But what exactly is the physical mechanism causing this bias? It's easy to understand why zero rotations would introduce a bias, but I can't easily picture a reason for a bias toward an integral number of 360-degree rotations. Is there a simple and intuitive way you can explain the physical reason?
