The point is the journey and the discussion around what the line of code does, and how that discussion is valuable. The point isn't to tell us what the code itself does.
> We have created extensive documentation that provides more details about ExecuTorch’s architecture, its high-level components, example ML models running on ExecuTorch, and end-to-end tutorials for exporting and running a model on various hardware devices. We are excited to see all of the innovative use cases of ExecuTorch built by the community.

"extensive documentation" should be a link to said extensive documentation

(A seemingly nitpicky comment, but I think it's a simple yet important way of encouraging "customer" onboarding.)

There's a "learn more" link at the bottom, but I don't think users should have to weed through the whole page to get to the info they really want.

The "links as subject affinities" section in Every Page Is Page One by Mark Baker has a lot of thoughtful ideas along these lines.
Tax evasion for a business that makes less than 5k usd a year in reveneu?

If you think that's a crime you are delusional about the uses of money.

Crypto allow me to create a structure where people can work in an animal health control for rural parts of the Patagonia (which is around 2000000 squared kilometers, five times the size of Germany and has 1/80 its population) and provide this kind of services for free in many cases.

I can now quit/leave/die and anyone can take my place to coordinate it in the same immutable structure.

And the best part? The state can track all the transactions if they really want it. But I'm sure no one is going to work to find out how six veterinarians got 125 USDC in their digital wallets in July 2023.
There are several reasons, some of which are mathematically equivalent to each other, but basically tech is an industry in which large expenditures are being paid in the present in the hopes of producing revenue growth farther down the road in the future.

Even in a profitable company like Google, which has existing revenue streams, some of the headcount is there to keep the systems running, but much of it is still investment in future growth. In an unprofitable company like (Uber? I haven't checked), they're losing money in the present in the hopes of earning more in the future.

Contrast with, say, Kellogg's, where most of the headcount is there to sustain existing revenues and production, and only a little is being invested into new product lines, cost-saving optimization, and future growth.

As interest rates rise, it makes today's revenue more preferable and future revenues less important. That has a strong impact on the valuation of companies like Uber and Google, and a weaker impact on the valuation of companies like Kellogg's.

A company that is still pre-profit but has a bit of revenue might need to cut its expenses to become profitable, even at the expense of future growth. A company that is pre-profit with no revenue might want to keep its employees to launch products ASAP, but with investment drying up it could go bankrupt first.

And at a company like Google, the shareholders may be interested in pivoting towards the Kellogg's model to keep the share price high. So they lay off a bunch of cost-adding developers, and focus more on stretching today's advertising revenue as far as possible. The only future development being pursued will be the ones where payoff is so big that it's worth it even at a high discount rate, so perhaps AI.
My $0.02 -- be yourself. Allow yourself to be a human. Humans have strong opinions sometimes. Sometimes they don't. Don't place too much value on micro-characteristics like "this awesome software engineer always uses gdb" or "this magnificent coder only debugs with printf". The reality is that always using debuggers or never using debuggers is probably not what makes these people magnificently awesome in your opinion.

Keep an open mind. Learn from others do and adopt the practices you like. It's fine if you develop strong opinions as you go along, but don't be an ass about it.

Well, you’re almost at the moment of enlightenment.

Yes, all the good architectures are service based. And all service based architectures are wrong. Because all architectures are wrong.

In the sense that there’s always another way you could have architected it that would be better for where you think you want to go next, than the way it is architected.

Learn to accept that an evolving software system is always going to have a suboptimal architecture.

No, its not, and Israel's apartheid predates Hamas (and fostering the development in Gaza of the Islamist network that became Hamas as a counterweight to the PLO was a strategic part of perpetuating it.)
Not many people have machines attached to their books that autonomously act based on the contents of the book, but people are building software services on top of gpts where the result of the prompt is not just displayed to the user but piped into some other software to do stuff. The resulting combined system is probably very much unlike a book.
100% agreed. The current system of "Sorry you feel suicidal / horribly depressed. Here are some meds that are statistically unlikely to help you but you won't know whether they help or not until ~60 days after you start taking them. What if these don't work? We'll shovel you a slightly different permutation of the same meds in hopes that what didn't work the last time will work this time. By the way, it will be another 60 days before you know whether the new meds are working or not" is terribly broken.

Is it any wonder that depressed and schizophrenic people smoke?

I've recieved a lot of forex related telemarketing calls the past two years (not robo, but imagine it will also hit EU eventually) because I was silly enough to input my actual number at some platform 5+ years back. I've tried several approaches reasoning with those individuals, mostly using the logic that I will NEVER buy anything from them because im simply not interested in the topic, but also a few using foul language. Always same result: more bullshit politely accompanied by "sir".

More recently I've recieved a lot of calls from regular people "calling me back". I reached out to my provider a few times, especially about the spoofing, but they claim theres nothing they can do, which I highly doubt.

I was a bit inspired by Cory Doctorow's "Red team blues" wherein the protagonist carries a burner, but has her main number behind an Asterisk server forwarding allowlisted numbers to the active burner.

Anyone know of anything like this? Ideally very DIY and FLOSS?

I imagine you could do some cool stuff with Whisper and LLMs, either wasting their time (like lennytroll mentioned elsewhere), but even better some autonomous bastion asking the caller to explain their reason for calling and letting the owner validate the answer through speech-to-text in an app, then decide wether to let it through or to "let me tell you in great detail about my grandchilds vacation to Mauritius"-land.

It's a weird opposite world we live in where companies hide behind endless teleprompts, but citizens have no such shield

I don't believe crypto is the future of payments, domestic or international. That's my thesis, and I'm fairly confident in it. If I'm wrong, after evaluating all available data, such is the peril of attempting to predict the future. I will eat crow and say I was wrong if that is the future we arrive at.

PIX in Brazil and UPI in India are evidence of what instant payment systems do to incumbent instant (credit card) rails. Central banks are coming for cross border payments next. For profit firms need profit and investors. Central banks (or other nation state monetary policy orgs with similar functions) simply need mandates. Congress told the Fed to build FedNow (to prevent private/for profit instant rails from gating access), and they did, because they were told to.

Visa, Paypal, and others in the space have an existential crisis, no different than Intuit with the IRS preparing to offer filing for free. A Paypal stablecoin? Are you kidding me? Why would you use that versus an FDIC insured deposit account or a money market fund?

> what you "really want" is a stream API with three arguments: the stream, the object or value, and a pointer to a function (or function object) that takes the value and transforms it to a stream of characters.

Or maybe a format object that returns a string in the way described by some directive, the way printf() worked in C or format conversions work in Python? You could call it something like std::format and make it available through a standard header like <format>.
There is sort of a hardware arm to that industry. They’ve made it so you can send money to a model who is on stream and your “donation” will trigger a mechanical actuator that …does things…

> Is there a difference? If you defund the police completely, isn't that basically the same as abolishing?

It’s hard to believe you’re being genuine only because, since the beginning, “defund the police” meant reallocating funds to reduce the amount going to cops. I’d understand if this were the first time you’ve heard of this, but it’s been a slogan for years and has been implemented in enough places that a cursory look into it would’ve explained it.

I’m not here to defend the language used (fwiw I’m fine with it), any movement requires nuance once you get past the flashy slogan.

From what I recall, and this is very rough from the top of my head, one such program to use mental health advocates fueled around 1,000 calls in a year. Out of those I think they in turn requested police backup under 10 times.

I could suggest the following

Inside Interesting Integrals, by Nahin. This contains integrals with often arithmetic inspiration. Imagine things like, lots of special values of the zeta function or partial sums of harmonic numbers and that sort of thing.

Irresistible Integrals, by Boros and Moll. This is inspired by their work to prove all of the integrals in the enormous book of Gradshteyn and Ryzhik, whose references are often old and lacking (like Erdelyi's prior table of integrals).

You might also like Solved Problems for the Gamma and Beta Functions, Legendre Polynomials, and Bessel functions by Farrel and Ross. This is a bit closer to real analysis and veers towards more practical integral magic.

Finally, I'll note that all of these largely omit complex residue calculus (using complex analysis to solve real integrals). I don't know of a good book specifically aimed at this, unfortunately.

I think it's less about the technology than the organizational structure. If you have more than one monolith (aka any company with an acquisition) you either have to have it in code in two places (gross) or as a library. If you have it as a library, then you have N version bumps to do an N pipelines to deploy. Not hard technically, but tons of overhead.

This means that you lose independence and doing A/B testing becomes very difficult when you can't really control what the user is seeing because the version is pinned.

A micro front end allows you to deploy independently, test independently, and truly own your code. Network hops are reasonably cheap for most consumer applications and collaboration on a shared component is very expensive.

I'm speaking from the perspective of a checkout flow, which my company is actively ripping out from the monolith in order to ensure people outside the monolith can use it AND to ensure we're able to do the price testing/conversion rate testing at a level that doesn't need a separate suite of tools for each business unit. This also has the benefit of reducing integration points with the billing system leading to better standardization and consolidated data in one billing system.
One thing I really love about Strange New Worlds is that they finally realized that fans love the beautiful, comfortable looking ships of the earlier series.

For a solid decade it was like all Star Trek ships felt like some "alternate timeline" from Next Generation in which the Federation is an endless war, and the ships are all dim and militaristic.

A huge part of the show was about exploration. And doing it in style. I love that about Strange New Worlds. It has captured a lot of great elements — another notable mention being the more episodic nature, and a return to more diplomatic narratives.
You really just have to compile all of your dependencies yourself (or use pre-compiled distro packages and compile your code with the distro toolchain).

Current state of generated images resemble something that has zero human like attributes. Therefore it is REPULSIVE in every way. It's like telling people to copulate with slimy, gargling octopuses instead of real human females.

It won't work, because we are wired differently. I browse a lot of art and AI art too, and there are about 1-2 pictures among a 1000 that I say is good and has human made characteristics. Most of them are trash.

So we are a long way away from rearranging talent space and giving the talent of pro artists in the hands of average joes (or rather to the elite).

Except Russia seems to have moved on from that. The Soviet panel buildings have a bad reputation in general. Most new apartment buildings I've seen are built out of monolithic concrete (is this the right English name for this technique?)

I think he meant that we dropped the explicit support of Android and the example app with offline maps (Mapsforge), see this issue: https://github.com/graphhopper/graphhopper/issues/1940

But offline routing should still work on Android. But as you need JDK 1.8 support this will exclude a few older Android versions and devices, I think.
> If property deeds were on the block chain then it'd be trivial.

True, but then a ton of other things would be much, much more difficult.

Like, what happens if Joe has the deed to a home, but then Joe dies, and nobody has the key to his wallet?

If you have some kind of way, on the blockchain, to solve this problem, and reassign the property without Joe’s private key, then what you have is a situation where human decisions take priority over cryptographic guarantees. You can’t have it both ways—either the human decisions are trusted over the cryptographic guarantees, or vice versa.

This is essentially just a reinvention of centralized real property registration systems, where the current owner of a particular piece of property must be registered either at some government office (in a registration system) or on the blockchain (hypothetically). One of the reasons you want title insurance is because some deed (a piece of paper) may be defective for various reasons, and having a centralized registry (either at a government office, or on a blockchain) makes this problem much less likely. I don’t see what advantage blockchain has here.

This is just more evidence that exchanges are bad for cryptocoin. What crypto needs to be healthy is direct user to user transactions, with absolutely nothing in between. That was the original vision with bitcoin. Everything layered on top and in between the transactions fundamentally results in harming adoption.

Corruption (which tax evasion is a facet of) is how you end up with dysfunctional governments. Endemic corruption breeds corruption breeds corruption. Crypto facilitates corruption and crime, which is antagonistic if your goal is a healthy society or good governance.
