Unfortunately Microsoft's store doesn't allow requesting more than 6GB of VRAM in a store listing, so that's why it says 6 and 12 in the same listing. The lowest I've tested so far is a 3060 12GB. I wouldn't expect 6GB to work, but if you're willing to give it a try I'd be interested to know what happens.

I'd like to support less VRAM. Maybe a future version will offload some of the processing to the cloud.
Nah they are low life wannabe warriors for joining ICE though.

I kind of feel like I've missed out on the Snow Leopard upgrade since it was my first ever macOS. I had nothing to compare to. It just felt much better than Windows, but I don't know how much better than Leopard it was.
This was early 2020; is that a long time ago? Time has no meaning after COVID.

I mean, I wasn't worried about them suing me for contributing to open source (it would be pretty hard to prove any real damages), but I think being fired would have been on the table.
Years after I started down the path of studying/reading Bucky Fuller, Robert Anton Wilson, Tim Leary, et al, I came across the Whole Earth catalogs and promptly devoured every bit of them. CoEvolution Quarterly (and later Whole Earth Review) became my favorite periodical, with the later gossip column always being the first section to read. Signal and Fringe (and issue 57) elated me much more than I expected.

I was exposed to usenet and BITnet and FTP in the mid-to-late 1980s and having the Whole Earth dead tree publishings greatly helped guide my opinions on how I wanted the Internet to evolve. They also drove me into the rabbit hole of RFCs and the IETF for a good number of years.

The work of Stewart Brand (+ others involved) and the previously mention individuals provided the major foundation for my career choices and happiness (and a slight frustration at the way the 'net is currently).
> I don't know that I even have answers to give to them.

To be honest, this is why this discussion always gets frustrating: people demand change that is impossible, and then when pushed for how to accomplish the impossible, they throw up their hands. I do not think you or anyone else is doing it maliciously, but for some reason, on this specific topic, it happens endlessly.
Don't forget consulate and embassy services.

And your citizenship allows you to get visas/dual citizenships that you wouldn't have access to if you weren't an American citizen. An American passport is pretty valuable, even if you don't live in America.

This is all less relevant if you move to, say, the EU, but it's still worth noting.
Could technology help reduce pretrial incarceration?
I do want to clarify, its not common (the pull the offer part), but I've had a friend go through it, and I once had it happen.

More often, alot of times the company will say something about going with the other offer, like you stated, or something in that ballpark.

A couple times though, I had a company dutifully try and convince me that the perks and work-life balance were better, even thought the salary maybe was not. That was an interesting one.
The US is a constitutional republic - currently, the federal gov’t could not do it.

However, almost every state already sets aside the level of control municipalities have explicitly.

Here is Texas’s

[https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/SOTWDocs/LG/htm/LG.211.ht...]

The US is one of a kind, as is every country I’ve run across.

Typically, zoning rules are the way they are (everywhere, and they are almost everywhere) because the benefits of them outweigh the perceived costs for the folks in power over that locality.

Changing them is not taken lightly because a lot of money is at stake and disruption is high.

Lots of people complain of course. But money talks, and bullshit walks.

I’m curious when things will switch from talk to actual change. Next 5ish-10ish years maybe as the boomers start aging out?

How do you think the interstate highway system got built?
Usually you're reaching for block_on because a library you want to use is async. Almost certainly the library you're using will have already be depending on an async library, so by pulling it in yourself you're not adding additional dependencies.
As far as I can tell it's a bit of a "these are the tools we have" kind of thing. The institutions that could do effective targeted supply-stimulating policymaking are hobbled if not hamstrung right now, while central banks are less so but only have blunt macro tools to work with.

There's not really much solution other than "people have to care about concrete policy, or at least specifically supply."
The best part is that it keeps happening.
My wife basically made the Office Space joke when it happened, how I had like six half-hour meetings in one day to explain how I screwed up on some arbitrary rule.
Genoa gave it to France to pay for their debt apparently: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Versailles_(1768)
Yep, I did manually injected PoE on the extra ethernet pairs and soldered directly to the wrt54g board to put my router 70ft up in the pine tree next to my house. I powered it with 13.8v from a ham radio psu and it worked great. It was almost certainly less than 12v after the voltage drop from the run. I never did measure though, it just worked (for years).
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_conquest_of_Corsica

Summary: “in 1767, the Republic of Genoa, exhausted by forty years of fighting, decided to sell the island to France which, after its defeat in the Seven Years' War, was trying to reinforce its position in the Mediterranean. In 1768, with the Treaty of Versailles (1768), the Genoese republic ceded all its rights on the island.”

However, Corsica was already de facto independent from Genoa at this time, so France had to send troops to conquer it.

In general, there are lots of places in Europe where language and culture don’t align with state borders (for example: Austria and parts of Switzerland and Italy are German-speaking, but not part of Germany). The reason usually dates to the time before modern nation-states.

Awesome idea, definitely something I would use because I play yahtzee a lot randomly. But when I play board games I only have my phone so mobile version needs a lot of work. I have to imagine most people are the same so in my opinion you should think about that as default usecase when thinking of UI. Will follow the project. Nice work
I'm saying SF tried the system hypothesis and is failing. Also not just SF but most large cities. So yes, they need to factor in the human component which is incentives and intentions.

> Are you funding every police force in the country getting a grief counselor?

Grief counselors are paid far less than cops, so tranferring work from the latter to the former would require negative funding.
> You lost some of my message.

So what's your point? Your point is that the balance will be reflected in the first layer after some time instead of being reflected after each and every lightning transaction?

What does that have to do with what we were talking about? The point of this thread was how many transactions per time period you could do with Bitcoin, not whether the balance will be public information in real time?

> lightning's examples are always these nonsense situations of paying a single party a thousand times.

It's not a nonsense situation. Micropayments is something you can (trustlessly) do with Lightning but not with traditional payment technologies.

It doesn't mean you can only do micropayments with Lightning.

> A transaction rate that could fit over the bandwidth of a 28.8 modem.

I just told you that Lightning can transact orders of magnitude more than that.

You can do millions of Lightning transactions per Bitcoin transaction.

You are complaining about Bitcoin's transaction rate limit but my whole point is that Lightning allows you to have an effectively limitless transaction rate (under certain conditions, at least), even if it requires occasional Bitcoin transactions to settle balances.
It’ll come down to what an investigation turns up. If they knowingly picked lead, sure, lock them up like any other poisoner. What I’d bet will turn up, however, is that they picked the lowest bidder and did the legal minimum required testing. In that case, I have trouble saying they’re uniquely dangerous to the public unless we’re also jailing, say, the CEOs of fossil fuel or tobacco companies, big meat suppliers like Tyson’s and the farmers whose worker mistreatment reliably produces E. coli outbreaks, or, for that matter, people who drive around looking at their phones since we could save ~40k lives a year by doing nothing more violent than taking away driver’s licenses from irresponsible people.

It’s natural to be angry here but I think what we should be doing is channeling this anger into demands for more aggressive regulation. Waiting until people get sick is too late, we should expect things like lead or salmonella testing to be done constantly. We could crucify the CEO of this company on livestream and it wouldn’t have much lasting impact because the kind of people who do this think the odds of getting caught are low – change that and it’ll have a much bigger impact.
Observability! Grafana, Prometheus, Loki, OpenTelemetry, you name it.

I'm digging deeper into the architecture of those open source tools—how they work under-the-hood—and not only at the superficial surface (deploying the stack and tune some parameters).
Bill to enable self-driving cars to be used on Britain's roads
Don't forget that C++ features are also often rolled out before anyone even really understands them, and then after they are rolled out people find all kinds of footguns and issues with them.

The C++ committee basically evaluates features almost entirely in the abstract, writing papers and discussing privately among a small group of people about things instead of working on proof of concept implementations, getting actual real world feedback on it, or having something along the lines of Rust's nightly where experimental features can be tried out.
Interesting. I'm not optimistic but I also wouldn't take that bet.

On one hand I don't think Twitter was ever profitable, so there's not much inventive to compete. But on the other hand, I don't think even Twitter can survive a decade of implosion. Bluesky may not be as big in 2030 as Twitter was at its peak, but if Twitter is legitimately dead it doesn't matter.

My cynical take is that microblogging also becomes a niche and "content creation" on Instagram/TikTok et. All takes over as refugees retrofit a different medium entirely to what they desire to do.

Obviously, it'd be better for someone who wants to talk to postgres and doesn't need non-blocking IO if a version based on blocking IO existed. But what is your grand point? It's not some conspiracy that libraries for network services use async/await: they most often do it because their maintainers need to use async/await in the work that pays for them to provide this open source library free of charge to you.

And all you need to do to not deal with async is wrap it in one of the many different block_on implementations. Yes, that's less ideal than not having to pull in these dependencies; if avoiding those dependencies is mission critical for you, maybe yours could be the enterprise that pays for the blocking IO postgres library.

What it really did was take me up the off ramp, do a U-turn, and get back onto the on ramp to gain about 700m of distance from where I was before.

I'm pretty sure that isn't even legal, at least in the state of Washington. I rarely go that way, so help me out here Seattle-area Eastsiders, but a lot of folks used to do this on eastbound WA520 at 108th in Bellevue, to the point that there at least used to be a sign at the bottom of the exit ramp saying (in much fewer words) no, you can't get back on the freeway by going up the entrance ramp. (Sorry, street view doesn't show the sign that said, IIRC, "no reentry", so I could be imagining it.)
Metrobank (for business customers) in the Philippines. Regular customers of the same bank have a different app with less strictness.

And yes, root hiding works on a test phone (which has a copy of the app not linked to my bank account), and the TOTP seed can be extracted from memory using Fridump and imported into a different app. But obviously, this won't pass the "manual inspection of the phone" step, because they will likely find the renamed Magisk app.
The legislation [1] is already enough to deal with email SPAM and by extension SMS. The problem is that phone & email companies conveniently have no way of knowing who sent the spam so you can't go after them.

Literally : money.
I wish that some of these folks complaining about how rust libraries force you to use async would go out and write some equivalent libraries with synchronous APIs. Rust's philosophy has always been to let library authors explore a problem space before (if ever) pulling stuff into the stdlib, and I think it is generally only beneficial for the ecosystem to have multiple ways of solving a problem.
> The US ha had wage stagnation for decades.

This is only true with tortured data and a conveniently narrow definition of "wages". If you look at personal incomes (which is what people hear when you say "wages", and is what folks actually care about), you'll see that they've been rising rather consistently for the last 50 years.

Attorneys for T-Mobile called the lawsuit “unprecedented,” and said the plaintiffs’ damages were “speculative.”

“If plaintiffs are unhappy with Verizon and AT&T, there is a remedy available in the highly competitive market that wireless consumers enjoy today — they should switch to T-Mobile, not sue it,” attorneys for T-Mobile told the court.

Okay, chump. That sounds real competitive.
I was wondering that also. Is not like Oracle had a special service for hiding Bitcoins for criminals. Oracle might have cut ad spend on Forbes...
Resources don't equal success, but both startups and incumbents need business plans: how they'll turn success into revenue.

I'm too young to remember, but was there a clear business plan supporting search at the time? Obviously Google has since proven that capturing a major chunk of the ad industry has made competing on search very worth it, but I don't remember if that was evident at the time. But I feel like the ad leverage came later in Google's life.

Then if you're trying to decide whether to bet on search at the time, the payoff may not be as evident without that insight.
Sadly, this is true, and is why I won't buy any newish cars.

"Generalization" is always a data problem.

If you trained it on one function class, of course that's all it learned to do. That's all it ever saw!

If you want to learn arbitrary function classes to some degree, the solution is simple. Train it on many different function classes.

Untrained models are as blank slate as you could possibly imagine. They're not even comparable to new born humans with millions of years of evolution baked in. The data you feed them is their world. Their only world.
Best Linux desktop/laptop distro hands down. Congrats Fedora!
A pretty reasonable middle road is to hold statements supported by evidence made by experts in higher regard than statements not supported by evidence made by non-experts.

The degree to which someone might do reasonably do this, and what action they might reasonably take as a result, depends on the audience, the moderator of the medium, their ability to moderate, and their ability judge the evidence independently.
>>> you haven't seen what a lot of them did in the '80s.

The commercial mobile phone network was invented in the 80's. Comparing market behaviors during the industry's infancy to the behaviors of established industries is wrong. The market took some time to figure out best practices, for consumers and industry health.

20's years ago roaming fees and texting fees where expensive, but then corporations figured out unlimited packages were more profitable. We pay a set price now for texting for the month, but it still costs the carriers money for each text we send. The carriers just hope that the power texters balance with the infrequent texters allowing them to turn a profit. The same with calling.

I don't know if regional networks could compete with national networks. I just want to reinforce that market practices at the industry's infancy aren't the same as they are now.

But they've largely abrogated that responsibility, with a lot of help from corrupt businesses. Now it's my job to ensure not too many child slaves were harmed in the making of my T-shirt.

One thing to notice is that the gpt-3.5 bars are blue and the gpt-4 bars are green. This is because aider uses different prompting strategies for GPT-3.5 and 4.

GPT-3.5 is only able to reliably edit a file by returning a whole new copy of the file with the edits included. This is the "whole" edit format.

GPT-4 is able to use a more efficient "diff" edit format, where it species blocks of code to search and replace.

All of this is described and quantified in more detail in the original aider benchmarking writeup:

https://aider.chat/docs/benchmarks.html

The original article benchmarked both models using both edit formats (and some others). And indeed, gpt-4/whole beats gpt-3.5/whole. But it's very slow and very expensive to ask gpt-4 to return a whole copy of any file that it edits. So it's just much more practical to use the gpt-4/diff, even though it performs a bit worse than gpt-4/whole.

Aider will let you do gpt-4/whole if you'd like to spend the time and money:

aider --model gpt-4 --edit-format whole

Once OpenAI relaxes the rate limits, I will benchmark gpt-4-1106-preview/whole.
