my wall outlet supplies power from 3 different sources: grid, solar on the roof and/or powerwall, depending on the weather, grid status (which sucks where I live) and time of day. computer only knows time of day off the bat, everything else it has to learn in a complex way.
if I have a "cost" or, better, "status" information integrated into the power itself, smart appliances (like computer) can make decisions what they can or can not run. right now I can start training my models on my 4090 at night, we have an outage, and 4090 will happily drain the powerwall, so I'll not have an A/C in the morning. models can wait, they're stupid anyway, or at least I like the A/C better.
I feel like trying to infer valid JSON from invalid JSON is a recipe for garbage. You’d probably be better off doing a second pass with the “JSON” through the LLM but, as the sibling commenter said, at this point even the good JSON may be garbage …
>And what is rice washing anyway?

There's an argument that you should wash your rice before you cook it to remove contaminants, particularly arsenic, which is a common soil contaminant.
Best advice.
Right at the very bottom the article suggests the correct way to deal with fallen leaves: leave them alone. They decompose and provide nutrients to the grass.
Oh cool. Does that mean the TPM key is set up to use one of the LUKS key slots?
I was recently reading why stainless things have a prop 65 warning, and it seemed people once believed they needed it because of the chromium, but a ruling said it was no longer needed because it wasn't in hexavalent form. Might help if you wanted to look into it further.
The whole wrench thing has happened to me.
It was on the bigger 12 volts marine/industrial batteries connected in parallel series for 24 volts to start a Detroit Diesel 71 series engine.
There was a nice arce and the end of the wrench melted.
So I described my approach to how I fine tune a specific task below to another user, but I'll copy it here:

> Design your tasks to be repeatable and small steps, call the OpenAI API and log all requests/responses.
> Filter out any bad responses and take a representative sample of the data you have collected from OpenAI,and train a Mistral or Llama2 model with the request/response pairs.

> Measure the quality of your model vs OpenAI for the same inputs, and then swap out the model in your workflow once happy with the results.
Yup I use jdupes and it's way, way, way faster than fdupes.
That's more neat as a collection of awesome lists. I really think for testing Markdown formatting one needs to use a test suite which provides both the input and the expected HTML output such as the one provided by CommonMark.

Well, I like to create digital products, always have, always will.

I have some online businesses and I've considered buying some more (eg. on acquire.com) which would be buying a job.

I would definitely do it but people overvalue they're business so much it's ridiculous. I think they're using some startup multiplier and apply it to their tiny projects.
So I always ended up building a competitor instead.

If you want to specifically buy a cafe I would do it only if it makes business sense.

Eg. I would not buy a cafe in a country with high tax, high bureaucracy with all the young people leaving for better places.
I see. Thank you for the response

I don't get leaf blowers really. I'd love to have some sort of paper bag and connector to my lawn mower. I have my bag and just getting it into the brown bag is a little bit of a pain. But man - you just do it once and you don't have to cajole the leaves for 10s of minutes.
It’s just a symptom of the larger problem of manicured lawns being the number one “managed crop” in America.

Eliminating home lawn is probably one of the singular things that would significantly slow down our destruction of the planet

I’m sure someone will post some reason why their lawn is different somehow

Do you have an example for stuff that the audience is expected to know? Or the other talks that do a better job? What kind of background do you have? Assuming an average full stack dev, of course he addresses a different audience, since this is a talk addressed to Linux OS developers at a conference with the description:

"All Systems Go! is a conference focused on foundational user-space Linux technologies. Its goal is to provide a gathering place for both contributors and users of projects that make up the foundation of modern Linux systems."

So, summing up: maybe you are not part of the target audience?
That would cost money and lower the profits of the people that own/control the grid. I sometimes wonder how much money these robber barons spend on lobbying and other PR campaigns to convince that climate change isn't a problem and that the grid is just fine. It's one of those unanswerable questions I'm sure, but how much progress could be made by redirecting that amount of money to actually improving the grid itself?

I think Mondrian is cliche at this point. Building developers think it’s culture and it’s easy to pull off since everything is squares so I see them theming apartment building and schools like this. It’s like the Cool S of architecture to me. I understand why someone made this theme, because it’s easy and seems cultured, and if you’re genuinely into Mondrian’s art, then go for it, but I always cringe a little when I see it now.
>The whole point of society is to be able to support those who can't support themselves.

And the only way to do that is to threaten those that can support themselves with imprisonment and death if they don't support the weak? There's no other way where people might voluntarily help those people? You don't see the hyprocisy?

I’ve never seen a leaf blower used for grass up here. Only leaves.

But I also never see the gas powered backpack blowers portrayed on TV so maybe I’m perceiving a different context.
NJ resident who has never cleared leaves in the last 18 years in my suburban home - I just let it degrade over winter and the lawn care companies take care of it in spring.

I don't live in a HOA community, which I think is a bane (one of many) of US living
>The submission is about a colonial power (uk) forcibly relocating the occupants of those Islands

No, the submission was about establishing a very tenuous connection between said horrible acts and the existence of a very specific TLD. Then essentially making the claim that everybody who uses said TLD is an evil monster who is actively supporting genocide while everybody who doesn't use said TLD is a shining example of saintly righteous purity who has demonstrated that they are genuinely morally outraged at historical injustices.

I don't own an .io domain so therefore I am morally superior. And I didn't even have to lift a finger in order to earn that claim to virtue.

I’ve been listening to a leaf blower running for probably the last hour. I was trying to sleep, and it woke me up and has kept me up… it just keeps going. How many leaves can they possible have.
There's no competition here, the pedestrian has the right of way. Just start actually enforcing it. Use those red light cameras and send a ticket to anyone who cuts off a pedestrian or fails to come to a complete stop before turning.

No one is claiming that, but it is obviously a party to said mess. Tesla created a proprietary connector instead of adapting a standard. 10 years later they offered it as an open standard. If you wanted to create unnecessary proliferation of standards, that's how you'd go about it.
Do you mind me asking where you are?

They just banned gas leaf blowers in my town. The electric ones are much quieter.
Even without lawns people will use leaf blowers to blow leaves, off their driveways or xeriscapes or whatever. So we should ban gas powered leaf blowers regardless.

Wow. I had no idea the number was that large. That seems so … lazy.

Strong disagree. Fedora and CentOS Stream (well, C8 Stream is dead, but the other stream-position I suppose) add no value to me whatsoever and working with it is a net negative.

Or does this mark me as "not high end" in terms of this type of device? (Highly possible (^_^) ... )
I recently forced myself to learn vim motions and it's been paying off pretty well. Once it clicked I found myself wanting vim motions everywhere.

I went deep and set up a neovim config, forcing myself to use neovim full time. However my new role requires me to use Intellij and I didn't want to spend hours upon hours figuring out how to replicate the java support in Neovim (and no, it isn't just installing the LSP, my work has some pretty specific intellij setup).

At this point I'm just using Intellij and VSCode with their respective vim plugins and I'm getting about 80% of the utility that I did with pure neovim. The one thing I really love about neovim is that it really forces you to keep your hands on the keyboard and you learn the keybinds very well because otherwise you just can't do the thing you wanted to! I find myself using the mouse a lot in VSCode and Intellij because they give you really handy buttons to click on.

I could probably go pure keyboard if I just sat down and learned all the various keybinds, but who has time for that?
The alternatives also use DRM, because licensing means that it's not a free market.
When a landscaping company uses a gas leaf blower, enforcement of the ban should be targeted at the property owner instead of the landscaping company. Most cops aren't particularly excited about bullying a hardworking landscaping worker so if you call them they won't even show up in time to give the landscaping company a ticket. On the other hand, if you could simply submit a video of the offense to local officials they could easily tie the offense to the property itself, and fine the property owner. No cops necessary.

Then property owners could weigh the cost of eating these fines against simply raking their yard themselves.
So does the weed'n'feed I pay for, and it's much prettier.

Now apply these to the Nash equilibrium in the bar scene of A Beautiful Mind. Imagine an AI that could perform such analysis in real time in a social context. Such a thing could give a great advantage to players of imperfect information games like "love" and "politics".

An AI that could simply detect existing games that are being played, where they are so often invisible, would be a revolution by itself.
I think the point was, if we didn't have lawns then leaves could remain where they fall and mulch the soil.

It's even easier than that. There's no need to even fine tune an LLMs to do it. Here's a screenshot[1] of a 4 bit quantised version of an off the shelf open LLM (WizardLM 13B v1.2) doing it on my Mac.

It is! I’ve been working in an environment that essentially requires us to type as we code (rules against using the “any” and “unknown” types) that in just used to them being enforced now lol. So I suppose my point is moot, as the tediousness isn’t forced by the language necessarily.

It seems pretty clear that silent prayer was in fact the reason why Vaughan-Spruce was arrested:

https://news.yahoo.com/british-woman-arrested-praying-silent...

> When she stood in front of the building by herself, Vaughan-Spruce reportedly did not carry a poster, candles for a vigil, or graphic pictures that might be deemed disturbing to local residents, according to the video

> When officers asked whether she was part of a protest, she replied “no.” They then asked if she was praying, to which she said she could be doing so “in my head.” Police then searched her, and patted down her hair, before handcuffing her and escorting her to the station.

The article you link to talks about a different person, who was arrested for holding a sign saying "Praying for freedom of speech."
> My name contains a letter not in ascii, breaking lots of systems

Tell me about it. In my native language (European) we have accents at the end of some words (like città or pubblicità; city and advertisement respectively).

As someone that works with typography in someway or another, I can't count how many times I had a font that didn't support the character à or é or whatever and I had to choose a font that looks similar to the one I want but that if you look at the text for even a few moments more, you are guaranteed to notice it.

An even more disappointing fact is how many people use the apostrophe instead of the accent for capitalized letters (E' instead of É) because there no É button on the keyboard. Shift+è brings up é

> Some systems ask me to input a time in am/pm and I've no idea which is when.

I have a similar problem. Sometimes someone writes a date in the American MM/DD/YYYY format instead of the DD/MM/YYYY one and unless it's something like 08/24/2023 where there is no month 24, it can be pretty disorienting to me. That's why I really like the ISO (please fill me up on the number) YYYY-MM-DD: it's both clearly distinct for the other two and standardized across the world

100% agree with you, although there are some other production that do a pretty good job (both FOSS like Jellyfin and commercial like Affinity Photo).

You also have tik tok ravers. A generation which built their own culture in isolation in the pandemic now flooding the dance floors not knowing anything about techno culture. For me it's a big part of not wanting to go anywhere anymore. Before, your outfit didn't matter, phones, photos and videos were discouraged. Nowadays these kids dress to impress and point there phones everywhere. They consume the techno culture and in that way destroy it. It's sad but I think it's over.
I've been an avid Vim/Neovim user for several years now, but I've never been able to really get into some of those pre-made configurations like LunarVim. I personally only like to add plugins for things I have identified as lacking, but I can see why a pre-made solution would be nice. However, last I looked I found the documentation rather lacking. Even getting a list of what plugins they add, or a general sense of the keybindings they've changed was difficult, not to mention the difficulty if someone was learning Vim for the first time on top of that.
I want to create a bubble of a space that’s free from the direct influence of AI. I believe that choice should exist, just like the choice to not be indexed by search engine bots over the web.
> The video is a little outdated in that some parts don't match with how the configuration is set up now

This is exactly my problem any time I try and get in to Vim/Emacs/NeoVim, even when trying some pre built config like Doom Emacs, LunarVim etc. Everybody has some bespoke setup so following along from a tutorial is a fucking nightmare because inevitably something will be out of date, or they'll be using a different package for say the file browser that makes it incompatible with the one you're using that you picked up from the previous tutorial. Or they'll be using a different package manager entirely, of which a new one seems to come out every year. Or you're fucking around trying to get LSP to work again because something has broke it. Or you'll try installing some kind of manager to let you switch between the different premade versions such as Doom Emacs and SpaceMacs and that won't work properly because Doom has been updated since it was written etc. It's just a never ending torrent of pain. It's the editor equivalent of the JavaScript ecosystem where there's some new shiny half baked bullshit every week. It's so much easier to just use VSCode or Jetbrains and have a consistent and reliable experience every time.

Manufacturers could have never anticipated that they could charge $1,500 for an accelerator on the one hand, and $15,000 for the same accelerator on the other. They’re the same thing!

CXL doesn’t really make sense. Does even NVLink? And yet, we have no more 2 slot GPUs, we lost NVLink on 4090s. There are no AM5 motherboards with 4 2 spaced PCIe 16x slots. Why are the consumer chips even limited for IO?

It’s just a bunch of bullshit to segregate a market and extract more rents. We’re going backwards. That said end users are also to blame, for every 1 person building a PC to do something innovative there are 19 who buy stuff with the brightest RGBs.

So it’s up to the market really. Individual consumers might spend an amortized $12k/y on their cars. It’s not outside the realm of reason that hardware manufacturers can take way more of the surplus they’ve been giving to end users.

Whether you think this is good or bad is a subjective thing. I personally don’t think much innovation comes out of NVIDIA, they have somehow tricked the world that thousands of very simple processors, tiled neatly, is as sophisticated as a thing as a general purpose CPU, or that CUDA is especially innovative on its own and not riding on a huge amount of inertia. You should transfer all the surplus to the people taking the most risks, basically the people writing the software with CUDA, which once was rendering for CG and physics simulation and now is people trying to make ML models more efficient.
I think he means that everybody should be made to live in apartments or condos, without any sort of garden, patios, etc. Dense urban living for everybody.
DEET isn't especially toxic, and while it does have negative effects on some marine life, doesn't bioaccumulate. Also, DEET doesn't rely on toxicity for its effects - it (probably) works by interfering with mosquitoes' sense of smell, and possibly also being noxious should a mosquito actually land on someone.

Which is to say, DEET is not a huge problem for the environment and any impact on the environment is not part of its effectiveness.
