Is this an Ad?
We’ve run Domainr on Heroku for over a decade, and it’s been rock solid all along.
That's actually a mentality that was "bolted on" by the advertising industry after the fact, once they realized how utterly wrong they were about their assertion that "The Internet is just a passing fad. Nobody will ever want to advertise on the Internet." (That's an almost exact quote from a lot of advertising folks I talked to back in the early days of the Internet, when websites were just starting to get popular.) Prior to their involvement in the Internet, it was purely just a network of networks, not a giant global advertising platform. They "jumped on the bandwagon" and corrupted it to their needs, and everyone else's wants and needs be damned, and then they convinced everyone "It's always been that way".
Apparently, this is still mostly done via paper records. I believe either electronic or paper records are easy to forge. However, that gets into "technically possible, but unlikely". After all, what you are suggesting is that the Hertz (or other large rental) company, to save a marginal amount of money, will commit widespread fraud and risk the massive lawsuit from faking records and then using those records to convince people to buy cars?

Meanwhile, they risk damage to a car keeping them from renting it out while it's repaired. And the cost of standard maintenance is probably less than they make in the day or two it's out of service.
would their π re-emerge if unit distance i.e distance between 2 and 3, 5 and 6 is defined by their metric. sort of like change in base in number systems.
> Additionally, we have not discovered a quick method to rollback to the previous version

I feel like this should be a high priority. Deployments should be quickly reversible so that a livesite caused by a bad deployment can be mitigated quickly.
I ditched Chrome after a Google ad hijacked the browser and attempted download malware onto my device. If you value your own security you absolutely should be using a browser with support for ad blocking extensions. At the same time Google must be held criminally liable for the massive amounts of fraud their ad business facilitates.
This is challenging because you probably don't want a phone that is hot all the time. There is however a very interesting technology which uses beta radiation and what are essentially "solar cells" to generate electricity directly[1]. Basically you could paint some Cesium 137 on to a solar cell and it would generate power 24x7!

I have an auto glass place I've been using for 20+ years, on the "wrong" side of town. I don't think I've paid more than $200 for the entire job, and none of them have leaked, or are obviously misaligned or anything. And the glass is seemingly as good as the dealer glass when it comes to getting hammered with rocks/etc.

At those prices, I imaging the glass is as you would expect at wholesale not more than $50 or so if they can send me out the door for $140. But its not even really the price that keeps me returning every few years when invariably someone in my family gets a busted windshield, is the fact that I can call them to verify they have the windshield drive over and wait 15 mins in their waiting room and leave with a new windshield.
Seems to be similar to the SponsorBlock extension for YouTube then, where start and end timestamps are crowdsourced for various types of filler, such as intros and end credits, sponsor segments, calls to subscribe, etc.
Especially when youtube's early success was built on piracy. That continued for a long time even after Google's acquisition. Arguably still is a major contributor regardless of Content ID.
TLG has ~20 million words of Greek before 300 CE. [1]

A novel is about ~100k words.

So total ancient Greek is ~200 books.

Do you own more than 200 books? Lots of people do.

I know plenty of "gamers" who's #1 obsession is how good the game looks to them, not how well it plays. They generally dislike games with non-photoreaslistic rendering
I think it's a bit of both. Humans are the same, but the tech and environment and especially quality of life isn't anymore. what was good enough in the 50's to attract a mate in a local town isn't good enough for the entire state or even country. I'm sure if Tinder existed in the 50's there'd be similar-ish issues.

At the same time, part of this is because there's been a lot of change in how and where we interact. There isn't really a "poker night" in a lot of modern 30's life with neighbors you chat with every day. young adults can't afford (in time nor money) to get out to a night life more than a few times a month, and even those night life places feel more like people come with established groups. Modern society doesn't pay enough and gets more and more expensive. It's no surprise it can feel soul crushing.
PSA: you can build OCI images with nix, then they'll be a pure function of their input like we've all wished was the case with Dockerfiles.
Yet another open-source LLaMA-Based sentence embeddings
Recently, sentence embeddings play an important role in information retrieval, especially in LLM-augmented retrieval. AnglE (https://github.com/SeanLee97/AnglE) is an open-source sentence embedding model. It shows good performance in Semantic Textual Similarity (STS) tasks and currently supports generating LLaMA-7B embeddings, which are state of the art in STS, as well as BERT-based embeddings. It also supports two languages: English and Chinese. LLaMA's powerful multilingual capability makes it easy to fine-tune the model for other languages.
That's not even close to the chip. Dabbling around with the ISA doesn't tell you much about the micro architectural features of the chip. I'm sure "do some bit twiddling" is absurd advice for someone who has written a driver.
Their next big move will probably be some AI product that ties together their other offerings into their exclusive platform. The ideal would be that you buy all their products and they automatically learn how you live your life, ancitipate your needs and provide for them seamlessly. Other companies try to do this now but it's not seamless at all. If Apple can use some tricks to identify a user, link all their stuff together, begin predicting needs and popping up solutions for them, all tied into a privacy-first data warehouse (nobody can use your data except you on your Apple devices), that could capture much bigger segments of the worldwide tech product landscape.

At least, that's my assumption based on their massive spend on infrastructure related to AI. I've been waiting for their cloud hosting project to jump out of stealth mode, if it's still in progress, but maybe it was never intended for anyone other than Apple's use. If that's the case then it makes more sense that they'd sort of pull a Google and invest more heavily in the backend server side for one product that could really be a killer, which would most likely be something AI. An answer to Google's search product that isn't search.
I just copy the video URL into mpv which can play videos when yt-dlp is also downloaded. Plus, it even supports SponsorBlock via a script.
No I think these comments are quite necessary. People need to stop making these comparisons because they have absolutely no grounding in how brains actually work. There are bad ideas that should be dismissed.

I use a Python REPL on the desktop or Termux to do all my calculations.

Python comes with Casio fx-CG50 calculator built-in.
I can think of a few: Petroleum replaced whale hunting, cars replaced horses pooping on streets, we finally eliminated lead in gasoline, we significantly reduced acid rain (NOx and SOx), we eliminated CFCs once they were shown to damage the ozone layer.
Sounds like how DVRs worked on cable TV back in the day. Some were even sophisticated enough to use the typical video cutout before commercials to auto skip them on playback.

Now, of course, we have community efforts like SponserBlock that could easily identify ad locations or some form of auto detection based on analyzing the video of they insert the ads at random locations in the video stream itself.

I'm certain this is coming. There's very little on YT I need to watch right now, and having a bunch of videos already downloaded and de-ad-ified would suffice. It would prevent the mindless watching anyway.
Books and articles I was reading in the 80s (eg Minsky and Papert, Byte magazine) were referring to Rosenblatt and retinas.

>I legitimately can't remember the last time I went to a public event and enjoyed myself.

A public event you didn't pay for? Really depends. I can still enjoy a decent meetup here and there. But meetup issues come from the meetup itself or the people being inconsistent. Hard to build relationships when it's a revolving door that claims to meet "every 2 weeks" but ends up averaging 4-8 weeks.
Same here, that repo is fantastic.
I run ad-blockers because most of the internet becomes unusable without them and I'd rather focus on education and interesting things. If that ceases to be the case, I'll cease using the internet and go to my local library. There's no scenario where I'll watch ad's on youtube. The internet is just not structured for money making unless its a paid service. Advertisers are the aberration here. They're wasting their and others' time and contributing to global warming unnecessarily. Maybe if people had more critical thinking skills they would see what a burden advertising/marketing/propaganda is on their time and how often they become biased by it - in one form or another.
If even batched delivery of consumer goods isn’t feasible, maybe density has just gotten too high.
I kinda wish we’d stop try to oversell the Milky Way with overexposed HDR pictures. They’re nowhere near as bright or vibrant as they look in the picture, even when viewed somewhere properly dark…
To me, the largest benefit isn't even related to "bad guys", but rather in being able to understand and debug issues.

Reproducibility makes bugs more shallow. If hydra builds a bit-for-bit identical iso to what you build locally, that means a developer can make a change to the iso inputs, test it, and know that testing will also apply to the final ci-built one.

If a user reports a bug in the iso, and you want to test if a change fixes it locally, you can start from an identical source-code commit as the iso was built from, make some minimal changes, and debug from there, all without worrying that you're accidentally introducing unintended differences.

It minimizes "but it works on my machine" type issues.
I agree, and would extend your point even further. Drafting people into the army against their will is a grave harm, for obvious reasons. But the existence of a "volunteer" army that nevertheless gets paid for their participation represents no less financial coercion. People on a financial precipice, given the option to join the army, might take it -- and thus increase their risk of being shot or blown up abroad. Removing those payments removes that coercion.

I was originally going to post this as a facile gotcha, until I thought about it slightly harder and realized that effectively disbanding the military would actually be a pretty good idea, all considered. However, I would still argue that we should accept monetary rewards for altruistic yet dangerous acts, like fighting fires and rescuing cats from trees (and donating kidneys).
No trouble with any other electronics in the house. Just the bulbs.
Yep. All two of them. ;~)
Japan has "social apartments"

https://www.social-apartment.com/

The positive version: you have a private room but have shared areas for socializing

The negative version: you pay more than you would for a private apartment

If you watch American movies from the 1940s it seems like it was common for people to live in houses and rent a room but all share meals and the living room. They seemed to be called boarding houses. AFAIK they mostly don't exist anymore?
My belief, which could be wrong, if we change π and distance metric i.e. definition of unit distance between 1 and 2, 4 and 5, 10 and 11 to be their unit distance, all the equations involving numbers and pi would come out to be same. e.g. basel problem etc.
This is of course bringing up the discussion on the "morality" of Adblocking. I'd like to point out something that I don't think is getting enough attention.

There was a point in the past where video platforms were competing, and by no means was it clear that YouTube would end up dominating this area to the point of being close to a monopoly.

When YouTube won that race, they won it with a given set of parameters, including the kind and amount of ads they show. Society at large has, at that point in the past, basically decided that YouTube's offering is the best, and given this market domineering position.

YouTube is increasingly moving away from the parameters of this implicit agreement, in minor ways at first, more now. Had they "competed" in the video platform race with current policies, maybe everyone'd be using Vimeo now.

And here's the crux. YouTube can only do this because their old policies allowed them to establish this domineering position, and by doing so are breaking the implicit "deal" that actually allowed them to get into this position.

To me, there's currently no alternative to going onto YouTube. And no, I won't pay for YouTube Premium — because that wasn't part of the deal either. The platform won the race as a free platform. So, until Google can figure out how to serve a reasonable amount of safe ads — adblocker it is.
Yes, true. Gain traction through piracy to get to an immense size, let everyone use the service for free to grow even larger, introduce ads but only easily blockable ones, then slowly tighten the vise.
Nope. Still free, they just managed to circumvent my browser extension. They're not even supposed to know I have it installed.

They need to either start charging everyone for access or stop complaining. I pay for access to a lot of things but I'm not paying money to avoid ads. I sure as hell am not gonna pay money to watch videos with hard coded ads.
Capitalism is about accumulating resources privately, and then using those accumulated resources to invest in earning more resources.

If you believe that early man was capable of thinking, "This shit is my shit, that shit is your shit, and if you take my shit I will punish you", then you have the precursors for capitalism. Academics like to throw a bunch of other nonsense around but that's it.
My experience with B2B PMs is that exactly one that I've worked with was amazing and the rest were just an awful intermediary that added a day of latency to any communication with our contact at customers and often managed to mangle things too.

I don't think it was lost. There are still people recarving the classics today. But at the hight of the craft, woodblock printing was being used for books, and flyers, and posters, and labels on good etc. there was a very high volume of low skill work that still got a little pay. This meant that the masters could have been working since childhood refining their craft. By The time of these images, there are mechanical presses doing all the non-art printing work. Also Japanese artist were aware of and participating in the global shifts in interests and ideas in art. Compared to some print of some beautiful maiko doing her make up with every stand of hair carefully cut into the block, I would say these images are more true to life. They convey the experience of being in those places at those times.
Most people don't write terabytes per day and the ones who do can just double their storage.
I've been playing with a 3090. I play in 1440p 21:9 ultrawide. So far it seems that medium settings with DLSS 720p and raytracing on medium is the most solid one. On high settings it's mostly fine, but in the forest it gets slower, and sometimes very slow (like 5-10 fps) when there's additional effects like smoke or something.
> a phenomenon in which a seemingly stable crystal structure is suddenly unable to be produced

The whole intro to this article really undersold to me how significant a phenomenon this is describing. My jaw dropped when I got into the Case Studies section. Apparently there are certain drugs which are nigh impossible to make today because a more stable (but medically ineffective (or still patented)) version of the crystal was once created and now contaminates the atmosphere in microscopic quantities.
Stupid sophons at it again.
This appears to be the same for the Netherlands which is around 5%. Although like Canada, the Netherlands is seeing an increase in a yearly basis. It isn’t clear when this plateaus.

I am not an expert in end of life care but I think it is messy for a lot of people (eg dementia) so it may become quite a high number eventually.
> When people are asking for evidence. They are asking about hard evidence that prove the claim.

Are you for real expecting this for an ongoing war still in its early days? I'm not saying those questions shouldn't be asked and of course the IDF will make mistakes but you are being unreasonable.

> They can say whatever they want and you can do, but without providing evidence this becomes a lie.

It's not necessarily a lie, just not verified yet.

> If you want to say hamas lie too that's fine but completely irrelevant in our context here.

It's not irrelevant. Hamas and the IDF are not equivalent.

It's a long established fact that Hamas modus operandi is terrorism. Recently the Hamas lied that the IDF bombed an hospital and killed 500 Palestinians, there is ample evidence that this was a blatant lie. All over the Internet there are reports/videos that show Hamas faking stuff to generate commotion.

Israel military intelligence is one of the best in the world. The IDF go steps further than any other country in history to minimize collateral damage. They warn civilians in the area before striking, they use roof knockers.
> But I watch, on average, less than 1 hour of Youtube videos a month, so paying for Youtube makes no sense

What's your issue with having to watch ads if you watch less than 1 hour of video content a month?

> I wish there was a free and open video platform that had a funding model like Wikipedia, where people could upload things that they had no intention of "monetizing"

There's a lot of content on YouTube that people upload that they have no intention of monetizing.

> I wish there was a free and open video platform that had a funding model like Wikipedia

Why don't you or someone else try starting one?
Teamspeak and mumble are still alive. Definitely not as popular as it used to be, but not dead for sure.

Mumble is still big in eve online afaik, due to some funky auth processes with EVE account.

Teamspeak forums are still pretty active too, and updates are still being released at a regular pace.
I'm still keeping teamspeak as primary voice chat for my small gaming community and i hear from my users that TS3 voice quality is superior to discord. Plus if something happens with server, i can fix issues myself, since i host TS3 server on my hardware. Which is not the case with discord - if you have issues with discord server, your only choice is to wait.
Not OP, but I prefer to watch ads instead of subscribing to Premium, but not because I do not want to pay, rather because being logged in implies more tracking and personalization. I prefer it stateless.
Offering a good faith alternative explanation, I would hope that the main reason many people obsess over benchmarks and performance metrics is because GPUs are damn expensive — buyers would want to know that the money they're spending has tangible benefits. I'd like to think that once someone actually loads a game in order to play it, they'll actually focus on the game.

(As a parallel example, I love the idea of seeing films in 3D, 4K, HDR etc, but I rarely notice the difference within ten minutes of the film starting. There's a reason why digital cinema got along fine at 2K for so long: extra detail really, really, really doesn't matter.)
Chrome for Android doesn't support ad blockers. The ad was served through Double Click on a non-Google property.
That's funny, growing up in a family that drove beaters the expensive cars are the one you can bully a little because you have so much less to lose than they do. My insurance policy covers up to 500k so it's all the same to me, but that limited edition bmw hot pepper amg s-class is your baby and so what are you gonna do, hit me?

It's the OG version of bully the self-driving car because they'll flinch long before you do.
And of course, people lie all the time too. There are a great many men (and women) that do things they would never, ever admit to. Regularly.

I never cheated, but I was very shocked at how much attention I got as a married man.

Take the ring off? Complete 180.

It’s also pretty easy to look at the reported partner counts between the sexes and see that it’s literally impossible that both are true at the same time.
> "how gross and smelly is gay sex? Find out!"

Sidebar, and I assume the ad wasn’t that way, but that does actually sound like a sarcastic pro-homosexual-sex ad ;)
Removable batteries requires valuable space for the mechanism to hold the battery, transfer the power from the battery, eject the battery etc. It doesn't come for free.

At least based on what I've seen on camera mechanisms you're taking about 10-20% reduction in the battery cell.
When life has no value, it is easily discarded.
I think part of the problem here is a mistaken interpretation on my part. I was thinking of "optimal" in terms of an ideal society in which no fraud takes place. I think the article writer was thinking of "optimal" in terms of optimizing the solution to a problem given the constraints and freedoms of current society.
It's also worth noting, one of the author's of the paper: "Transmission of the bacteria is possible, especially given the highly sociable nature of elephants and the link between this infection and the stress associated with extreme weather events such as drought, which may make outbreaks more likely."

Also, if you prefer an abstract approach, the determinant is just the nth exterior power of a linear transformation :) No need to introduce a basis at all, at least in principle.
Surely you are trolling me now. There is a very clear biological inspiration mentioned in this paper: they literally define a CNN as having “receptive fields” and then they cite the same Hubel & Wiesel research mentioned before multiple times. LeCun mentions their research in papers even earlier in the 80s as well, during which they were awarded the Nobel prize for their research on the visual system. Of course there is also a lot of computational and mathematical research that was ongoing simultaneously, but to say that there is “no inspiration whatsoever” is pretty far from the truth.
I'm not missing this. Quite contrary - this is exactly what I mean. Even today I would run around and yell our president is a superhero, maybe even pretend I mean that literally, if I somehow believed this could do real good and no harm and the president was doing a good job. Needless to say I would hardly believe he can see through walls and will fly to save me in case of an emergency.
One can have several sexual partners and still be non single too. It’s remarkably common, actually, among both sexes.

What market are you referring to that you think I’m not?
