Not necessarily. The State can compel cash because it is the state mandated and controlled medium of exchange. Cards are not controlled by the state and thereby compel a business relationship with a private company. Probably if the state controlled cards, then it would have a mandate to, uh, mandate them.

I realise it begs the question a little, the state can mandate cash because it's the state's mandated and controlled medium of exchange, but state power often begs the question.
By trying to look smart you look stupid in assuming this is simple. You need to improve your soft skills.

I have a similar (or same? I got it over a decade ago and things change) pass for disabilities from military service. One flash of it and my driver's license and I get access to every single park and half off camping. I've only gotten grief once when a campground manager did not believe I was old enough to be disabled. I straightened him out pretty quick. Entry fees aren't expensive per se, but I have certainly saved a good amount of money. It makes quick trips to my local national monument more likely when I don't have to fret over visiting for just a few hours.
The rule is officially "don't editorialize" which I would interpret (perhaps incorrectly) as allowing a little leeway in surfacing a buried lede so long as it's presented in neutral language.

Something like "Amazing Llama 2 7B performance on M2 Ultra" would obviously fail that test, but the current title of "M2 Ultra can run 128 streams of Llama 2 7B in parallel" seems to follow the spirit of the rule, at least as I read it.
I don’t know about that one but I’ve seen other caching systems in place where people had been going in circles for 18 months and couldn’t give instructions as to how to build the system reliably and my first step was to clear everything out and start from zero because slow progress is better than no progress.
They are called palms in that region but are Cordyline australis from New Zealand where they are called cabbage trees and are everywhere. They do quite well in colder New Zealand climate regions. If you are unlucky to live next door to a mature cabbage tree planted along the neighbours fence, you will spend your life picking up fallen leaves, which cannot be put in our green waste bins, on general refuse, because they don't decompose easily (18 months under careful ideal composting conditions, years otherwise).

Its not uncommon to find a giant pile of cabbage tree leaves behind someone's house because they have been meaning for years to take them to the rubbish dump. Every so often someone asks on reddit what they should do with their pile.

Another interesting face is they can live to 400+ years although often they can rot internally after 100.
This is a good infographic that shows who can get what sorts of passes: https://www.nps.gov/planyourvisit/images/Passes-Flowchart-up...

Except with BSL it will still be available as an open source software at some point in the future. This is certainly better than moving to a non-free-and-will-never-be kind of license.

However, the way they've also changed “community edition” builds to forbid commercial usage is kinda fucked up.

It's the best, but it's far from perfect. Default mode is non-ACID, and going `serializable` mode makes it very slow. Spanner is always ACID... but always slow.
$80 is correct. This is an amazing deal. And if you don't like your own odds, a Senior Annual Pass is $20, which is $5 less than one parking fee at Cape Cod National Seashore and $15 less than one private car entry to Yosemite.
It's extremely impressive in any case.

“2) Autoscaling groups with that had human readable incrementing “names”, in AWS instances have hex slugs as instance names and you can give an instance a special “Name” label: but any new machines created with an ASG will just reuse the same name label making them hard or impossible to tell apart.
The AWS official solution for this is to have a lambda function hook on the scale event and give your new node an incremented name label. Given that AWS is pricy to save me time: I do not personally consider this an elegant solution”

Why were you even messing with the instance name? This is a ridiculously simple problem to solve with tags on your ASG. And AWS even did the courtesy of propagating those tags across the ASG and all its instances.

> So outdoor spaces with food trucks and drinks are becoming the new third places

And as with most 'modern' reboots, it's worse than the thing it replaces. Outdoor seating is worse than indoor, plus food trucks price gouge like crazy because they can.
The books were obviously not wanted by the people who put them there, otherwise they would have kept them.

A single person reading a book they wouldn’t have otherwise is an absolutely miserable ROI for the materials and labor involved. It would be much more efficient to just offer the first person you meet a free book of their choice from Amazon.
Any word on cost?
It's probably doing two things:

1. simulates texture filtering and dithering hiding low resolution and low number of colors in textures, and

2. renders two or four columns at once.

Amiga had planar graphics, which did not support setting individual pixels. To set a pixel you'd have to set appropriate bit in up to 6 bytes (64 colors max) scattered around in memory. Writing one byte modified one bit of 8 adjacent pixels, which was terrible for textured 3D graphics.

It seems unlikely to me that this repository has as many GitHub stars as it does given the early alpha phase and plethora of (known) bugs. Further, you’re seemingly VC funded which is more confusing to me than langchain or pinecone getting funding- and those projects are AI based whereas your project is very well trod territory.

People won’t want this even if it’s free forever. They definitely won’t want it when ads, tracking or a monthly subscription become baked in.

Basically, I have no reason to trust you and lots of reasons to distrust you.

Nothing personal, but if you haven’t considered this perspective you might want to.
It often takes my company three months to allow certain security updates through, so I'd say that's a fairly huge fail from a security standpoint. It is quicker from the Mac team though, and they're slowly deprecating Windows machines once it's certain all software works properly on M* machines.
That money came from customers too.
A lot of times it is not deliberate fraud just incompetence. There is the strange fact that the answer to precision QED calculations alway seemed to change when experimental results changed. One enduring lesson from a physics PhD is that a 50 page long calculation without unit tests is… wrong.

Great program, but disappointing that the blind are invisible on the splash page. National parks are an extremely sensory rich environment. Birding by ear in particular is very popular.
We need a term for the type of LLM-solipsism where someone thinks their own interaction with a LLM indicates something big about the LLM rather than is just a reflection of the way their prompt started and the conversation continued.
We can include oil and gas exploration in the infotech-entertainment-telecom economy too! After all, all those geological surveys are just information about where the oil and gas is located!

Speed-wise, on a single stream, I have no need for it to generate text faster than I can read.

However, for scripts that try to use hundreds/thousands of invocations to solve some problem (eg. "write me a whole book"), the parallelism will be great (but obviously the script has to be written with that in mind).
7B coding models? Having massive amounts of questionable code :)
It sounds like you agree with me. Ethnic conflicts are a natural consequence of immigration, and they die out over time. They used to be more pronounced in the past, and American history is littered with it.

You don’t even seem to think caste conflicts are a pronounced or big deal, so I’m not sure what we were even arguing about.

And yeah, caste is supposed to not matter for Christians, muslims or sikhs - but in practice that matters where you are.
I guess it depends on what you're doing with them? If you're running them 24/7 to train or model something, the energy costs might add up. Even if you're not, having more efficient chips might mean more data centers don't need as complex cooling equipment.
Yes, tempdb spills can be annoying, but I believe they never occur for queries that use only in-memory tables.
> The things mentioned in the article like stand ups aren’t even orchestrated by managers in a lot of companies

They shouldn't be orchestrated by managers in any company. Same with handling the backlog. That managers get involved in these things is one of the ways that agile has gone so wrong.
Yeah of course. But that’d also be affect it if the benchmark was shorter and was re-run a hundred times.

Though, granted in the case of re-running it you can do things like take the minimum or median time which are much better benchmark metrics, rather than the mean which is thrown off more by outliers and system noise.

Definitely bot trying to defend this as a good benchmarking scheme.

Node has its advantages for sure, but it's very different from PHP (especially if you're using a framework like Laravel).

You're right that you get much less out of the box and often need to use packages. PHP is kinda weird though... It does a lot out of the box and PHP frameworks also take that approach. For example, Node.js's Express is really just a basic web framework, Laravel on the other hand provides everything from templating, validators, email, auth, etc.

Node really just provides the JS runtime environment and leaves everything else up to user. And that's nice in some ways because there's less "magic" going on and it makes learning Node very simple. But the trend off there is that if you need to send an email there's not some magical method you can call that just works. Instead, you need to install a package or you build something yourself.

I find Node applications more interesting to work on personally. You find different projects often take different approaches and will use slightly different packages depending on the requirements. PHP projects on the other hand always feel very similar to me and I feel less free to have opinions on how things should architected.

Anyway, you're not wrong. Node is just different and we programmers tend to automatically dislike difference because good code is generally code tends to follows recognisable patterns.
Neat. I wonder how easy it would be to 'gang' these to make larger breadboards. I've used the regular ones for designs with 10's of chips and it can get pretty crowded with all of the wiring especially for buses and clock nets. A couple of these would make things far more organized.
Great writeup! It sounds like the author had quite the ordeal with Intel Knights Landing; often, the most informative articles come from genuine experiences (and sometimes, pain).

I'm in the trenches with AMX right now, and it's not without its challenges. When Nvidia rolled out the `wmma` intrinsics for tensor cores years ago, they felt a bit unconventional. But as technology evolves, these new extensions seem to be increasingly idiosyncratic, challenging to navigate, and hyper-specialized.

Hardware improvements significantly outpace compiler optimizations. So hand-written kernels are becoming the norm again :)
I don't deny there is a problem. I am saying the problem is as old as time.
In fact there may be an evolutionary advantage in doing the opposite - flooding the system with stress/fear chemicals at the time of death. Predators would likely prefer to avoid tense, stringy meat reeking of primal panic and feces.
I think it's a spectrum cost issue or a coordination issue. LTE spectrum is eye wateringly expensive, but maybe more affordable places where it's not possible to put a mast!

It's either that, or whatever the logistics are around the cell boundaries.

Not necessarily true. DynamoDB on demand pricing is actually way cheaper than RDS or EC2 based anything for small workloads, especially when you want it replicated.
My experience too, GCP is frustrating. However, there is nothing like BigQuery to me, I love that DB.
It's fun when these change between versions too. At work we recently upgraded a bunch of servers from MySQL 5.7 to 8.0 (yeah I know, basically last second) and missed a stored procedure that was using "rows" unquoted. Fine in 5.7; reserved as of 8.0.2.

I also find their documentation on this sort of thing to be far too sprawled to be easily accessible, makes it quite hard to prepare for this sort of thing if you're not particularly expert when it comes to database administration.
What complicates matters (in a nice way as it opens up more possibilities) is the increasing role of client apps. You maybe are thinking of the current Wordpress and Mastodon web UI's but a dedicated client (as those that already exist for mobile) can create any timeline illusion.

But it is true that all these different type of servers have different specializations as to what type of content is easy to produce and distribute on them. A further intriguing aspect is to federate with video, image or audio sharing servers (peertube, pixelfed, funkwhale).
> I think it'd be great to encourage kids to visit the parks through passes like these. Sponsor a lottery/giveaway or a contest featuring children's park-themed art or creative writing as chances to win lifetime park passes for them and their family.

It’s a great idea, and if you’re one of the people here making SV tech salaries, you could make that happen tomorrow. You’re talking about $5000-10000 of direct philanthropy to run/promote the contest and buy those passes for the winner. Media coverage would come easy and you could get it to snowball through other contributors after driving it through the first time.

(Not being flippant. Sometimes people just need help seeing what they can actually make happen without too much trouble.)

99% of the time when people say "I wish Linux had ...", the problem is that they're not using systemd.

It's possible to do it without systemd of course, but that involves an ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of systemd anyway.
As someone who daily sends messages to myself as a form of notetaking, for everything from todos and shoplists to ideas and bookmarks, I've thought about this a lot. The only conclusions I came to are that I keep using messages because (1) they are convinient and synced across devices, (2) app is already installed and frequently opened so it rarely needs to load up making notetaking faster, and (3) I do not have to think about organization.

I believe the last point is most important, and is where your app is misaligned with my reasons for using messages - you seem to have spearate folders and notes, prompting me to think "where does this go?" before writing, which is something I really want to avoid.

I've seen a bunch of such letters, thankfully with mostly small adjustments and most mysterious to me often giving me some money back.

But I've never felt like I've had any clue why things were adjusted or what issues there were.

I'm probably way off base & things aren't actually so bad, but I feel like I get a lot of sympathetic "me too"'s about this in social circles. Maybe a good number of people are just holding their tongues & actually understand & learn from their errors over time, but I don't feel like my tax filing skills have ever improved.
I agree it likely isn't AI generated, as they have logos and words, but it's definitely over filtered.

You're right, there is something strange about the leg in that table. There is a reflection, which I think is causing part of the problem, but also looks like a cut-line which shouldn't exist.

trickle is clever, but when I've tried to use it for "use no more than this" bandwidth shaping (basically going for "rsync --bwlimit" but for a set of "related" rsync processes) the arguments given had very little to do with the amount of bandwidth actually consumed. (We found another way but definitely look at tc instead.)

The term “umami” is of Japanese origin, so yes.
The more I deal with scalable relational DBMSes (Spanner in particular), the more I doubt their usefulness even at large scale. Relational + fully-consistent are always at odds with scalability. It seems like either you have a classic NoSQL use case and use that, or you shard at the application level rather than in the database.

Could someone share a use case where you truly benefited migrating from Postgres/MySQL to Spanner/Citus/Cockroach, and there was no better solution? I'd like my hunch to be wrong.
> and idk if Apple even supports this kind of industrial use. While it's a quality product the Mini isn't really designed for the datacenter.

I think they know of it and tacitly approve of this use case, as evidenced by the Mac Mini having the same form factor for ages. They’re well aware that a lot of people use Minis (and Studios now) in data centers, and that the Mini footprint is sort of “standardized” at this point.
I completely disagree but if the current regime lasts it’s inevitable. The burgeoning federal debt will be used politically (not operationally!) to force selling federally assets especially land and leases to the politically well connected.

I'm curious what qualifies as a "permanent disability".

I was shocked to find out that ADHD qualified as a disability that would let you get Paxlovid. To verify, go to https://www.paxlovid.com/who-can-take and click on "Disabilities". But having seen that, I'm tempted to tell my son that he might be able to get a free lifetime pass.

But that opens up a question. Have we as a society come to define disabilities so broadly that the term has basically become meaningless?
