Seems like "search and summarize your content" is all that most companies trying to get on the hype train can muster.

I love to travel and often times I have to go to somewhere. This search allows me to plan additional stops in between my origin and destination. As an example, if I want to fly from Amsterdam to New York you can take a direct flight, or add a stop somewhere and add that destination as another stop. So maybe you could visit London for a few days, or Washington or maybe Bermuda.

Another one I am working on is https://startenv.com, this one will automatically convert your docker compose file to a test/staging environment whenever you create a PR or for specific branches. This way your QA or clients can give feedback for a specific feature before you release it. I've been using it for a few weeks and I am really liking it (but of course I am biased).

While TwinFlights is a side project I am hoping to turn StartEnv into a proper B2B SaaS. If you think this could fit your business, please reach out to me and I'll do my best to make it worth your time. :)
90% of employees in a 10% stack ranking environment get an “A”. USMLE has a 90+ % pass rate.
1% of the population dies every year. unemployment + inflation is between 5 and 15%, a state of permanent misery index range. in the steady state, it’s enough creative destruction.
One step at a time, perhaps?
I don't know about the other fellow, but for me it was when they banned Blitzchung and revoked his prize money for saying "Liberate Hong Kong" on a stream.
There are a few “distance” metrics that are used.

AFAIK cosine similarity or cosine distance is a common one bc it’s faster than a dot product.
The demo seems a little bit off-sync.

Mathematics certainly serves as a language. It is also full of nice games. But it is not just that. Mathematics is real. As I said, a Turing Machine is real, and it either halts, or it doesn't. And what turns a Turing Machine into something real is not that you and I agree on what it is, communicating with each other, but that it is a mathematical construct I know the exact definition of, and the mathematical object behind that definition wouldn't change even if you would not exist.

I've seen people having trouble with my use of "real" before. When I say real, I mean that these mathematical objects exist in our reality. There is only one reality, and we share it. That's why you and I can use these mathematical objects to communicate with each other, and that's why mathematics also serves as a language. These "pretty useless algebras" exist nevertheless as themselves, you don't need to find some other, physical objects in the world that correspond to them.
These spectrograms are so cool. Can someone explain why it uses that pattern?
Dragging the scroll indicator is much faster than some of these. And more reliable. And easier to control than middle click and drag.
Thanks for sharing! Where would you buy it from?
This is an extremely content-light paper. There's basically zero information on anything important. Just hand-waving about the architecture and the data. Instead it spends its space on things like the equation for MAE and a diagram depicting the concept of training and inference. Red flags everywhere.
Mammals have adapted to adverse conditions before. However, the current rate of change is unprecedented. Evolution does not happen in one or two generations.
I never grew up knowing the Whole Earth Catalog, but in the early '80s I was a precocious elementary school student who practically lived in any library I could get access to. My school library happened to have a copy of a particularly magical book that was loosely patterned after the WEC, the "Kids' Whole Future Catalog". https://paleofuture.com/blog/2007/4/27/the-kids-whole-future...

I obsessively checked it out of the library, pouring over page after page of exciting future and near future advancements, and in my little mind seeing a clear path from the Space Shuttle to the city of the future printed on the cover. It was one of those breathless books that showed humanity figuring out how to engineer every natural process, picture upon picture of far off space stations intermingled with then current hydroponics gardens and concepts well beyond that.

I found myself competing with at least one other child and the book never hit the shelf but for a few minutes as it was almost on permanent loan in somebody's backpack. My mother looked for a few weeks trying to find where to buy it for me, but never found a bookstore with it. It was like an object sent from another dimension, mean to teach children and guide them to an inevitable future Utopia.

It worked. I've worked in technology and R&D my entire career. I've yearned to bring about that future.

A few years ago, thinking back to this formative codex, I went about trying to find it and happened to buy a copy on Ebay which set about a small project to get the equipment together to scan it and put it up on the internet archive as no digital version of the book exists to my knowledge. I'm almost there, but haven't quite gotten everything lined up.

Many years later, I learned about the WEC and it immediately hit me that this was the adult version of the feeder league I had been participating in as a child.

I can't believe the WEC is out there now. I need to get my crap together and get the Kid's Catalog up as well.
I also kind of wish to see that. Al Lowe is beyond retired at this point, but maybe Microsoft money can buy at least outlines of his four (!) proposed sequels.
Why did they have offices in SV? I've always seen it as just a sleepy little stop on the way to the beach haha.
For me personally, I was just asked to build the tool from a friend and since I was bored at work I've started building it and got in love with it.

It looked like a quite terrible idea in a very big red ocean market, but is turning out quite successful actually and now we've got almost 60 playing customers.
> Why does the US need to repair our reputation? Unless by repair you mean remind the world who to be afraid of. We do not live in a nice world where everyone gets along. The US government and military (and the CIA) have no obligation to the world, their obligations are entirely to protect the american people and economy.

I won't try to reason with you using notions of "morality", or "doing the right thing", cause you are clearly not looking at the world like that. So how about repairing the US reputation, cause you don't like terrorists flying airplanes into buildings? The violence of terrorists attacks is not justified, but it is entirely expected for when a country acts like this. Imperialism will always face opposition and struggle, and anybody that supports it is helping to generate violence, both to oppressed people, and to the opressors themselves (or their inocent civilizians) when oppressed people fight back.

"nah, nah this action is good"
Thanks for that, very interesting. There used to be some fruitarian who said his bloodwork was all perfect eating primarily some ridiculous number of bananas each day. And his conclusion everyone should just eat fruit. Well he was burning over 10000 calories a day bicycling, I think he was a delivery rider and it was his hobby. That diet doesn't scale down to 2000 calories for the reasons you mention. I also wonder about all that potassium...
Crimea, lugansk, Donetsk, mariupol is all business as usual. Ukrainians care neither about Ukraine government nor Russian government. They just want the war to end regardless of which oligarch is ruling over then.
I couldn't find a PDF or Image to excel web app that was accurate enough and could offer ability to browser through the data in the web app. So I built one: https://bankstatementconverterai.com/

I also built https://www.thehomedecorai.com/ because I recently moved into a new house and the AI tools I saw were not generating realistic images or suggestions. So I built that one as well.

There are 82 items in the collection, you could do a little scraping and run all the downloads through uGet or similar download manager.

Plus, each item has an auto-generated torrent. They aren't very fast generally, but you could theoretically seed the directly downloaded files if you were interested in helping distribute this.
One of the more useful things I do manually asking these lines is post long zoom transcripts into Claude and have it summarize it and answer follow up questions. I wish Zoom had it built in.
Does anyone know of a good source of ultrasonic transducers of various kinds?
B vitamins are water soluble, so they are generally relatively safe to take in large amounts because they don't accumulate in the body, so you can't poison yourself like you can with some things. Some water soluble vitamins are associated with kidney stones if taken in high doses, so "unlikely to poison yourself" does not mean zero side effects.

I am seeing conflicting reports on B1 aka thiamine. If you don't have a compelling reason to try megadoses, I wouldn't do it. There's a lot we don't know.

But for many things, it's completely reasonable to increase your consumption of B vitamins. There's a lot of space between do nothing and megadoses that is safer to play in than skipping straight to megadoses.

Yes, as you feared, possibly out of date.

Rather than indicating export of genes from the Levant to North Africa, there seems to have been widespread migration of genes outward from North Africa.

We may have our picture of Phonecian expansion a bit backwards from reality due to overreliance on Greek sources.

I wrote up a thread on some related areas including the above paper where our picture of migrations may have been too heavily biased by ethnocentric source material here: https://www.reddit.com/r/AcademicBiblical/comments/10f0pf5/m...

As well as a minor follow-up on a more recent paper which found endogamy in North African samples here: https://lemmy.world/post/3464260
Does youtube pass information about which parts of videos are skipped back to the people that uploaded them?

My grandmother said the ones from the 20s in the us tasted way better, but they didn't keep any time at all, which was fine because they grew or raised all their own food.

>For instance real wages are up to a somewhat ridiculous degree, home ownership rates are substantially up (now higher than 90%!), and so on.

lol, everyone with half a brain ran from Russia as soon as they could, and they aren't coming back if they can avoid it. And the ruble will continue to sink lower and lower. There's no reason to think it wouldn't and no matter how you try to spin it, that's not a good thing for Russia's economy.
People would be absolutely aghast at how much trouble the law can make for you without ever actually even charging you with anything.

And how relatively easy lawfare can be brought against someone, especially if the person bringing it has infinite money and/or nothing to lose.

This was a very pleasant read. The part about crossing the chasm really resonated with me. It’s something you try once In a while and always you get pulled back to the side you started on.

Yes I'm sure the experts didn't think of the first idea to pop into both of our heads when they published their scientific paper in PNAS. https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.0813385106

However I'm more curious how a skeleton eats, can you elaborate?
The internal narrative is important, but yeah, the NDE is just a side effect of trying to maintain that narrative when the stage falls to pieces around you.

We hold onto that narrative of self through some astonishing events. Instead of "oh, the visual cortex is dying, so it's trying to see through the other sensory systems, triggering memories", we have a white tunnel narrative[1], but in the white tunnel our persona remains intact. We don't need to start simulating the outcomes of having our simulation / sensory system fall apart - we can keep going, if we make it. Simulating the failure of your simulation capacity, that's a lot of complexity the organism doesn't need.

Again, just shooting my mouth off here. Some observations as science gadfly.

[1] Psychedelics introduce similar paths to having mystic narratives, and have been used as such for at least thousands of years. Probably longer than that, judging from their usage among even primitive mammals.
>we have different ideas of price

doesn't everyone?

for clarity, the $5 tier gives you 300 searches a month. with 300 I just know that some months I'd go well over, and some months I wouldn't come close. it's just the perfect number where there's uncertainty. 200 I'd always hit. 450-500 I'd probably never

they should just tell marketing/sales to fuck off and charge per search. they'd gain me as a user

>Google's search quality has dropped

yeah it has, but its still better than any of its free competitors. around a year ago I tried a few of the free alternatives (DDG, Bing, Ecosia, Brave Search). what I found is that Google is still by far the best at understanding what you're searching for, where it struggles is prioritising results

the problem is that every other search engine I tried has the exact same issue, but doesn't know what the fuck you're searching for half the time

Brave is slightly different in that it is better for avoiding SEO dreck but it isn't fantastic at understanding you and it misses certain search operands
It depends also whether a 10x engineer is also good at people-ing as good as they are technically ;)
I downvoted out of principle as their only source is a procedural generator for natural language text, as opposed to peer-reviewed historiography.
Another of those four examples is internationally designated as a violation of the 4th Geneva Convention under UNSC Resolution 2334. I don't think one can say that international condemnation is particularly unique to any of them.
Nasty stuff, prison napalm. Even artisanal prison napalm.
If you’re smart you make it so that the API needs a “key” from the app in some way, so that the API being used “registers” as an app usage.
That isn’t the argument at all.

It’s that you have a bag of fake heroin, you are then arrested for it because someone thinks that by you having fake heroin you are encouraging real heroin users to do more real heroin.
Better search is super valuable though.

You don't always have to create new paradigms; integrating existing ideas can work wonders.
Second report on the status of global water resources published
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) recently presented its second report on the status of global water resources. According to this report, large parts of the world experienced drier conditions in 2022 than those recorded on average for the equivalent periods over the last 30 years.

https://library.wmo.int/records/item/68473-state-of-global-w...

"Nearly 40% of the territories examined were suffering from drier than normal conditions," said Professor Robert Reinecke of Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU).

"This means that the flow rate of many rivers worldwide was significantly below what would normally be expected. Added to this, the levels of moisture in the soil were frequently indicative of the effects of the heat waves we have experienced while the need for greater use of water has resulted in the groundwater table becoming lower than in the reference period."

...

Just as in the case of the River Po in Italy, the water levels of the Rhine fell dramatically over longer periods, with the associated consequences for river traffic. France suffered from insufficient precipitation, resulting in difficulties when it came to providing the cooling required by nuclear power plants. South America experienced severe drought conditions while, despite increasing precipitation, groundwater levels in the important Murray-Darling Basin in Australia continued to drop below normal.
One interesting thing is if only one parent speaks the second language then kids will tend to only (obviously) pick up the tendencies of that speaker.

So if a dad then the kid, irrespective of their gender, will pick up dad’s masculine tendencies or if mom her feminine tendencies. (dad may say the equiv of "dude" and mom may say the equiv of "guys", those sorts of things.)

It’s not good or bad. It just is.

As "it is probably not illegal", people always say "use the ROM of games you physically own" when talking about emulators, so I have imagine it would be simply legal.
The the reason corporations care about DEI in the first place has to do with civil rights laws, they mostly don't really think that "diversity" is their strength. To learn more about that, you should read Richard Hanania's recent book The Origins of Woke.

Since there has been a backslash against the results of the civil rights laws, they probably have more leeway to act as "rational" economic agents, but at least the formalities still must be observed.
Still, this seems to be more logical to me than moving the window borders, since moving something in a suitable place first, in order to maybe manipulate it there, is much more like we would proceed with real-life objects.

(However, the window being rendered for an initial view in a way where not all the crucial controls are accessible is the real problem and arguable shouldn't happen at all. At this point, every action to fix this will probably be flawed. E.g., if we resize the window by dragging any of its visible borders, any action and/or cancel buttons will be still tied to the bottom part of the window, which is still off-screen, meaning, we're still stuck. On the other hand, dragging the window by its title bar, while maybe a more promising approach, may be impossible, as there is probably not sufficient screen estate left for this, to begin with.)
Here you're making a claim even Bernstein isn't making; of course, he couldn't, because he is openly advocating for NIST to endorse NTRUprime, which would leave open the question of how much NIST paid him to co-submit NTRUprime.
Right, I really mean investors and customers, sorry.
Oh yeah, that's a little bit annoying. It looks like I can drag on the second toolbar on the very left but it would be much better to force some dragging space both left and right on the title bar. Otherwise I think menus there is okay, I don't need the entire title bar as a dragging area.
> The SC2 professional scene is doing really well I think

I could easily claim the opposite. There's very little to no mention of SC2 for Blizzcon '23 as well.
This is amazing. Would be awesome to make it multiplayer. Any repo to fork?
I can't speak on whether you're right, but there is genuinely a component where public schooling can't lump everyone together and expect things to work out. In high school, I knew someone who spread vicious rumors and made remarks about Nazi Germany and whatnot. Supposedly on the autism spectrum, although that's not an excuse either way. He was smart enough, but seemed more interested in aggravating and harassing people. There needs to be a separate schooling environment for people like that, one way or another.

I use Copilot pretty frequently when I program, find it very useful to explore an API i don't know or just help write bash or other stuff I suck at or just to save me some typing. Still often produces very unidiomatic and non-performant code though. But it's worth it for what it costs.

I do have a separate GPT-4 subscription as well but I've used it less and less. Tried to use it for search and text summary but it makes too many mistakes. Invented authors, papers, wrong summaries are just too common for it to be useful. So effectively I found myself Googling every time i used it to make sure the information is correct, which made the entire thing redundant.
I kept taking the Whole Mirth Catalog out of the library as a kid.

on west bank 98% of job is done by PA. not by IDF. Its very rare occasion for Idf to get involved.

West bank and gaza in general are very different places with "different" population. I did hear in past sentiments from palestinians on west bank that gazans are uneducated animals. This can partly be attributed to what I wrote before: Jordan annexed west bank and kinda tried "uplift" population while Egypt let gaza rot for 20 years.

Israel couldn't handle hamas in gaza and this is why it pulled out. Just like it pulled out of south lebanon that had "sympathetic" south lebanon army.

After pulling out of gaza israel tried to keep control of gaza<>egypt border in order to prevent smuggling via tunnels but it wasn't sustainable without creating depopulated strip a couple of miles deep. there were considered "light versions" of it, but supreme court prohibited doing so and army realized that it pointless anyway. so israel pulled out of this area as well.

when israel pulled out there was expression "gaza can become either singapore or mogadishu, and it's up to gazans to decide". after israel pulled out all the agricaltural equipment that was left behind (also was controversial but there were hope that it will help to develop industry/economy) was trashed, houses were looted and hamas proceeded with shooting even more rockets and mortars.
Docker's distribution (formerly registry) with a redis cache, buildx using the cache-(from¦to) directives. There's another flag I'm forgetting that signals the builder to ship all layers.
Browser tabs I actually find OK, I didn't even really consider them as "using" title bar space, since each tab is a title bar and contains no "active" areas that prevent the simple 'click and drag' action.

This does become more problematic when there are so many tabs they become tiny and the whole title bar of the browser is taken up by tabs so that there's no dead-space to drag the entire browser window to another screen. I try to keep minimal contexts (due to personal brain capacity issues), so I don't run up against this very often - I manage links that I want to keep and go back to using other means, or if I forget them then they weren't very important in the first place.
Still wish someone would make a fairly straightforward retrofit that would “battery-ify” the electric loads on a vehicle. Would maybe handle 5-10% of a vehicle’s load, but should be the most straightforward to install.

Some newer vehicles have a “belt-starter-generator” that’s just on the accessory belt, like the Fiat 500, and a tiny <1kwh battery, but dunno why it’s not expandable or why nobody makes something bolt-on for ICE vehicles that are common. Companies make a bolt-on supercharger kit for the Corolla, but nothing like this that could be useful in fleet/delivery/taxi applications.

I guess gas is too cheap to plug in one’s vehicle for a 10% reduction in fuel consumption.
YouTube recently started showing a graph highlighting what sections of the video are watched more (when seeking with the cursor), so I assume they actually give creators proper metrics about this, and it could hurt revenue if sponsors ask to know the difference in watch time between their segment and the rest of the video
