This post touches on a fairly common experience for me, which is assuming a kind of product must exist and then being surprised to find a complete gap in the market.

It seems quite common for a particular market to have come to "conceptualise" itself, or categorise itself, in a certain way that then becomes a prevailing set of assumptions of every company serving that market. This results in every product in a given market basically being the same and formed under the same set of assumptions, leading to a lack of meaningful choice.

Examples I've encountered:

- You can't get non-wireless (/non-battery-powered) noise cancelling headphones. Go on, try and find some.

- The market for presentation remote controls (that is, wireless clickers for advancing to the next slide) seems to be entirely conceptualised around proprietary 2.4GHz communication with one of those tiny USB dongles. The market for Bluetooth presentation remote controls seems to be tiny, and the ones that do support Bluetooth are hybrids which support both Bluetooth and a dongle. Also weirdly expensive.

- You can get Zigbee temperature/humidity sensors but getting Zigbee temperature/humidity/pressure sensors is seemingly much more niche, despite the existence of MEMS chips which can sense all of those. Zigbee temperature, humidity, pressure and CO2? Good luck.

Given how neat and useful Zigbee is as a technology I'm a bit surprised more isn't done with it and a more varied set of devices aren't available for it.
It might be easier to ditch the Sidewinder-like custom IR sensor for a stock camera, and make up for this in software instead.

At the same time, I'm not sure if working on cheap guidance systems is the best idea at the moment - it could be used by Russias and North Koreas out there.
Run 70B LLM Inference on a Single 4GB GPU with This New Technique
"Large language models require huge amounts of GPU memory. Is it possible to run inference on a single GPU? If so, what is the minimum GPU memory required?"
Yeah, but this is JetBrains. They are one of the few companies whose products are so much better than anyone else’s that I’d pay for them, even as an independent developer. They’ve been around for decades and are still more than popular enough that making money shouldn’t be their issue. My company of 80,000+ employees has a JetBrains license for every developer.
Exactly. The best bet is to use a service that is used by a huge number of users and try to hide your traffic in it. I wonder why they didn't do gmail -> gmail for example. Maybe there are good reasons.
In ways that… mitigate rent increases? Say more what specific effect is relevant to this.
Negative tax, or not universal assistance seems quite reasonable. But like anything other tax system changes, it is basically impossible.

No one is going to have the will or capitol to reform the tax system even to this degree. Too many vested interests.

It’ll either have to be over a long enough timeline that technology or small movements eventually get there… or it’ll take war.

I feel like the only reason solution to debt and China is going to be war.
No, "whom" is the objective form, and in this context, it functions as the object of the verb "is asking."
This shows how the individual weights and vectors work but unless I’m missing something doesn’t quite illustrate yet how higher order vectors are created at the sentence and paragraph level. This might be an emergent property within this system though so it’s hard to “illustrate”. how all of this ends up with a world simulation needs to be understood better and I hope this advances further.
This is a great example of how everyone misunderstands the Turing test.
Great, so I guess it’s time to try UBI on a country scale then!
The main thrust of the argument (one I agree with vociferously) is that life is not a category, it is either an aspect of every physical system or it is one pole of a very-hard-to-quantify spectrum of such systems. Another way to put it is, living is what systems do and some systems do more of it than others.

There is much to say about intelligence in relation to life but best to stay on the latter for now considering this forum's apoplectic reactions to discussion on the former.
Let's say there was a fractal set that included members that has a 'life' property, but that we had no simple test or definition. Looking at the boundaries of what's in or outside the set would be futile as we could indefinitely split hairs and find examples that are successively closer to being in but actually out. This isn't to say that such a set doesn't exist.
One key thing is missing from your comment (which explains the 'weirdness') - clang, and other llvm-family tools are cross-compatible by default. There is no separate cross compilation binary. This is just a configuration bug.
I first remember it from Eyes Wide Shut (1999) - not mentioned in the linked article.

It's wonderful that what used to be called a genteel amber & teal, is now known as blorange horror.
Why would giving everyone basic income below a certain income level immediately cause inflation to match it?

Inflation doesnt track directly to minimum wage, which seems to be a very similar principal.

Funnily enough, Jenkins does not have that limitation.
It's common practice of journalists in The Netherlands to not publish family names of suspects in the media. There are exceptions for 'famous' criminals. So it was striking for me to read full names in the article.

If you're into 'real crime' and all this cocaine smuggling and all the accompanying banditry is of interest to you, I can recommend some channels on Youtube. Just search for 'Holland Crime Boulevard' or 'mocro mafia', etc.

There has been an ongoing feud since 2012 over a missing shipment of 200kg cocaine with a lot of murders. Even murders of the family of a crown witness, lawyer and a famous crime journalist. Pretty recently there was a discovery of underground containers setup to torture people. Ridouan Taghi and his organisation worked together with Italian and Irish mobsters. Well, I wasn't there, but that's what the media portrays. Also, this is probably not one group, but there were all kinds of groups working together once in a while.
Yes. Llama2 7B:

>>> Which weighs more: a kilogram of gold or a kilogram of feathers?

A kilogram of gold weighs more than a kilogram of feathers.

One kilogram is equal to 1000 grams, so:

* A kilogram of gold = 1000 grams x 1 kg = 1000 kg
* A kilogram of feathers = 1000 grams x 1 kg = 1000 kg

As you can see, a kilogram of gold weighs more than a kilogram of feathers.

Even the units on the math is wrong. But this is the 7B Llama 2 model. ChatGPT gets all of it correct.
> Was it really worth it?

I mean, yeah, I'd say so. Browsers and terminal emulators are working, so that will cover 90% of the Linux userbase's needs. XWayland runs fine for non-Wayland apps and supported GPUs run smooth as butter. I have no reason to not run it on all my machines, currently.

It's not great that x11 reached the state of stagnation it did, but moving on was our only option. In hindsight, I think we'll be happy Wayland spent so long in the design phase so we didn't end up with another x11-type project.
Depends on the country, here there is some bottom welfare tier that will support everyone who is not eligible for support by higher tiers or other means.
To me it is some combination of ridiculous, naive, and pointless.
I don't have a positive view of the Western welfare state, with its excesses, inefficiencies, and catastrophic effect on incentives especially for the poorer and more dysfunctional demographics.

And you want to fix this by making it unconditional? The few who need (and warrant) state financial support will get less than they need; the many rorting the system won't even have to lift a finger to do so; the many many low-income earners disillusioned with the state of Western economies and cultures will happily down tools the moment the first payment hits their account; people like you and I who probably have no need at all for it still get paid regardless.

These stories of Kenyan entrepreneurs changing their villages with a $500 lump sum are completely irrelevant. It's absurd to think this in any way represents the way it will mess with incentive structures in the West, and the cynic in me sees it as a very transparent appeal to doe-eyed progressive types desperate to fawn over darker-skinned people enjoying tiny successes. Or grasping for any "scientific" evidence that we should give them money just for being a lazy dropout. Or playing into their fantasy that they would be a productive master artist if not for the oppressive demands of the capitalist.

It's a con. It's silly. But it makes people like me look like meanies so people like you turn out in droves to vote for the "good guy" progressives who just want to give everyone free money.
Thanks for the awesome service! I wish I had known this, I went to quite a few cybercafes to get some extra IPs XD

Doesn't the GPL protect third-party contributions in ways that liberal licences do not? I think the author might have trouble re-licensing third-party GPL contributions under a proprietary licence, but IANAL.
Please don't use powerline network adapters unless you have absolutely no other reasonable choice. One house can pollute huge swaths of the RF spectrum for a whole neighborhood or beyond.
Curious in Brazil generally the best produce is exported and the rest goes to the local markets due to price dynamics.

But the best mango is locally produced. Cultivars that are unsuitable for commercial distribution (you can't harvest it unripened) but super delicious. It's not an overstatement to say that many houses in my region have at least one mango tree.
Same, we are using it now and it is a much nicer experience than Jenkins
TTLs apply to UDP packets as well as ICMP or TCP. In fact, TTLS apply to all types of IP packets.

It just so happens that it's easiest and fastest to send UDP packets instead of ICMP or TCP, because you don't have all the connection handling, and you don't have to worry about the underlying layers sending out retransmission, etc.... That's also why QUIC is an improvement over HTTPS, and is based on UDP.
That's only true in a perfect globalized market economy. To head you off, I understand the the downward shift of the demand curve when the price level rises, that makes complete sense. However,
if the net result of not having protectionist trade policy is a loss of on-shore production and at a later date their is global instability, whether from a pandemic virus or war, such that a global market no longer functions freely, then wouldnt the "expense" be an investment? Demand for cars is fairly elastic I would imagine, so wouldn't domestic suppliers increase production?

Looking at vehicle production through the single dimension of economics without considering geopolitics seems naive.
"Well, I'm a [store, café, bar, gym, etc] owner and I know that my customers now earn an additional $600/mo, and every other customer in my market is also earning an addition $600/mo, I would be an idiot not to raise my prices by $600/mo, and so would every other owner."

"Oh, also, I'm building a new set of apartments and I discovered that when I set the rent to today's price + $300/mo then suddenly everyone was interested since everyone else on the market now takes +$600/mo."

Yes, inflation is a real concern which should be discussed, but "duh, all the money will just go to X" is far too a simplistic argument.

> Multi-national companies do act a lot like hiveminds.

Corporations are AIs. They are just much slower at making decisions than single humans. They also limit competition against themselves by consuming human time.

We are at the stage where we give an AI a limited, carefully described, goal and it fulfills it based on patterns it learned from human codified knowledge. At some point, not that far from now, there will be AIs that are capable of selecting goals based on more generic directives and optimize from there better than any human could do. At that point, where motivations become incomprehensible to humans, we can say we have something like a superintelligence.

It'll be interesting.
Yeah. They just didn't have the patience to setup separate ranges for each of their ~900 sites. It's quite sad.
I usually check Git, see nothing committed, then ask them privately "how are things going with your project? Do you need any assistance?" Another couple days goes by, some garbage that doesn't run is committed to git... I ask again. The cycle repeats. I'm just the tech lead on the project, I have no real authority, so if the situation doesn't improve I do mention it to the actual manager. They usually then do nothing.
It's an incentives problem. At research universities, promotion is contingent on research output, and teaching is often seen as a distraction. At so-called teaching universities, promotion (or even survival) is mainly contingent on throughput, and not measures of pedagogical outcome.

If you are a teaching faculty at a university, it is against your own interests to invest time to develop novel teaching materials. The exception might be writing textbooks, which can be monetized, but typically are a net-negative endeavor.

Saying it's an urban legend implies it's false, but that's a bit nitpicky IMO. Most people can read most such "scrambled" sentences without a lot of effort, so that part is certainly true (and non-obvious). The original - fact checked in your sources - made don't strong assumptions like "Cambridge researchers", "can be a total mess (...) read without a problem" etc. But overall I still think that's a neat fact.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE someone post a TLDR. The dude is pleasant to listen to, but he goes ON and ON and ON about his life story and what not. Please just give us the bullet points.
Your links suggest that the attribution of the discovery of this phenomenon to a Cambridge researcher is an urban legend. But l33tman's comment doesn't make that claim, he only says that words scrambled in this way are easy to read (and they are, I read his comment effortlessly.)
True, instead of just the low-income earners dropping out now that they have an unconditional deposit in their bank every week, now you also have a significant number of middle and high income earners consciously choosing to earn less because of the crushingly high taxes.
Can you point to a single reputable study that shows this would likely happen?

Hey - you put in the time. Can you please help the rest of us out and post a TLDR?
Yeah. People will hate me for using it as an example, but there is such a huge difference between native apps and the gunk we’re fed now. I can vividly remember the first time I used a Mac-assed app on a Mac, and it was remarkable. Like, it felt good. But now those are going the way of the dinosaur. (Yes, I know, Apple is to blame for that in part by their iOS-ification of the Mac. That’s not what my comment is about.)

I would love to know... even finding the source of those stock photos would be awesome. My initial suspicion is that the image split is just an ancient webdev thing (which they used much after it was popular) to reduce the size of each individual image. But who knows!
Good. No high speed data communications should be done through power wiring. Specifically, none of these devices should ever be approved for sale within the USA by the FCC. They emit far too much radio interference, and lots of it down in the HF bands where it propagates around the entire world.

Building power wiring is never impedance controlled. It is just two parallel wires as a transmission line. Any time this unshielded line gets next to a piece of metal, or it bends too sharp, or whatever, the impedance changes in the RF frequencies significantly enough that it will radiate (and accept incoming interference by reciprocity). These devices literally fill the airwaves with interference.

So why does the FCC allow them? Because for FCC testing they're allowed to use contrived setups/jigs of power wiring that are nothing like those that happen in actual buildings. FCC approval of these thing should require actual testing in actual house/building like wiring. If they did none would ever be approved and all existing ones would be taken off the market.

So... yes, you can technically legally use PowerLine networking. But if you do so knowingly you're being extremely rude and a bad person. Like, throwing trash on the ground in a national park type rude. The radio spectrum is a limited shared resource. Please don't ruin it.
I think even a bigram model would provide enough information.

> One common reason for this: the hiring committee doesn't have enough signal because the interviewers don't coordinate appropriately, and end up asking heavily overlapping questions (e.g. 3 questions that basically reduce to "use DFS").

I'm curious - how much up-front coordination is mandated? Plenty of the interview loops I've done agree in advance to the exact set of questions we'll ask during an onsite specifically to avoid problems like this (which of course causes other problems...)
Vague article with no realy point that asks you to sign up for a free 7 day trial at the end. Whack as hell. Why is this on the front page
A lot of people are commenting on the merits of UBI vs no UBI.

The article is mostly about lump sum vs periodic distribution and the effects it has on recipients behavior.

I recommend everyone read it - even if you’re generally against UBI (I am), it still has something to say about behavioral economics.
IMO one of the major problems with JOSE is that the algorithm to be used for verification is part of the object being verified and is generally not part of the verification API or the verification key. This results in the alg "none" attack and no shortage of potential downgrade attacks.

After quickly skimming these drafts, I can’t tell whether it’s fixed. Certainly a lot of algorithm names are sprinkled around the encoded objects, but I didn’t spot a description of what a public key is.

I am moderately concerned by statements like:

6.3.2. Issuer Setup
To use the MAC algorithm the issuer must have a stable public key pair to perform signing. To start the issuance process, a single 32-byte random Shared Secret must first be generated. This value will be shared privately to the holder as part of the issuer's JWP proof value

Few if any cryptosystems are intended to be secure if the private key is used in the wrong algorithm. This paragraph reads like one party should, as part of the API used by the application, one party sends 32 bytes, char[32]-style, to another. I don’t think any new design should work like this. New designs should fail hard when misused or when parties disagree as to what protocol variant they’re speaking.

Is there something in here to make the new standard clearly immune to algorithm confusion attacks?
Good point! From my experience, having different versions of third-party dependencies is a trade-off when having code in several repos. I've been in organizations where teams have needed to coordinate upgrades of things like logging & error handling tooling, to utilize the tooling across the services. If this would live in one and the same repo (and ideally in one reusable part of the code) it wouldn't be such a big thing.

Services living in a Polylith repo are deployed independently, that's a big part of the tooling support and how code is structured according to the achitecture.
I'd imagine it means the first band to do it before death. Both 2pac and Michael Jackson have virtual performances and have for some time - but it was granted by their estates, not the artist themselves.
What you're describing has nothing to do with the number of servers and everything to do with the number of services.

That's not scale, that's organizational sprawl.

Stop making stuff up, just because your wife doesn't hate russians doesn't mean that all Ukrainians don't.

> When you say "everyone supports my opinions" you're basically denying people their own voice - I am in touch with Ukrainians and what you say is plain wrong - you don't need to be in Ukraine to know that. Seriously, your opinions are the kind of opinions people in the West generally view as signs of dicatorship and actually associate with Nazis and fascism.

I said that everyone in Ukraine supports my opinions, because I, unlike you, know what's going on in Ukraine. You have no clue about Ukraine or the opinions of Ukrainians. Some Ukrainians have relatives in russia, many have cut ties with them. I'm not denying people their own voice, just saying that almost all Ukrainians hate russians, which you would know if you lived in Ukraine.

> You believe your opinions are right, everyone who is not "a russian supporter" shares them with you, and that ALL russians are nazis - when will you realize you are the problem, not the imaginary nazis both Ukrainians and Russians keep blaming everything on?

Who doesn't believe their opinions are right? Even if you don't, that doesn't make me 'the problem'.
Why the quotes around russia supporter? A very small part of Ukrainians support russia, some even collaborate with them. I'm not claiming that everyone that doesn't share my opinions is a russia supporter, just saying that every Ukrainian that isn't a russia supporter hates russians because of the oppression and murder of Ukrainians by russia for many centuries and the war raging right now. There is nothing fascist about stating the facts.
Where did I say that ALL russians are nazis? I said that only about russian soldiers.
How am I the problem? Did I invade Ukraine? Did I kill tens to hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians? Did I commit horrific war crimes? I haven't done anything to blame me for the war.
Ukrainians, unlike russians, don't blame anything on 'imaginary' nazis.
They blame the war on the russians.
The russians support the invasion, as they supported the war in Georgia, occupation of Crimea and the war in Donbass.
russia is a fascist dictatorship, you need to be a brainwashed russian supporter to disagree with that.
