"suppress?" Most Ukrainian don't want to hold an election right now!

https://www.kyivpost.com/post/23427

It's literally in their constitution not to hold an election during wartime! There are legal issues with doing so! Even disregarding the practical issues!

Stop pretending you have any idea what Ukrainians are thinking right now. You're obviously extrapolating from your own interpretation of headlines and not even bothering to look for a primary source or even reading the details of whatever sources you are reading - that is completely absurd.
Interesting finding! The conclusion for me is that language models need to be trained more carefully, on a wider corpus and without undue emphasis on any source, to generate more representative and idiomatic text.

You've never heard of tracing attachments for lathes, or Pantograph mills. Copying things and making parts to fit goes back well before the industrial revolution, it used to be the way all things mechanical were made.

If there's enough time and budget, anything, even crashed things from other worlds, can be repaired. I've seen replacements made for the bull gears that hold up Bascule bridges in Chicago, and I've repaired atomic clocks... people improvise, adapt and overcome issues like the odd broken part.

The only limits are artificially imposed, by governments and market capture. I'm currently helping a friend repair a National HRO-500 receiver, likely made before I was born. It's amazing that they managed to build a synthesized general coverage receiver with Germanium transistors (the old ones are NOT reliable, nor anywhere near interchangeable, even with the same part #), but it's getting repaired after 60 years of service.

The problem you are describing isn't really related to WASM or any particular target system or programming language. And targeting wasm wouldn't really address it. It looks to me like a packaging issue.

If i follow you correctly, you are simply saying that in python it's possible to refer to some code in a way that the compiler can't anticipate and thus can't make sure the relevant code is present at runtime.

First this a problem in pretty much every language. Even in very static languages like c++, one can dlopen his way into this exact situation. JVM/.Net also have missing classes situation when someone screw up the packaging

This is solved by having a sensible code laoding API. Java classloader or .NET equivalent manage that.

I’ve switched to lead-free solders for all new work, but still do any repair/rework of old products with leaded solder as I’ve never found a lead-free solder that works well (plus, I’ve now got 5 lifetimes’ worth of leaded solder supplies).

Have you found any that work well in repairs/cross-contamination cases? I suspect a lot of the early complaints about lead-free solder being a dire problem functionally were from people using the wrong temp or cross-contaminated tools. (I use a cheaper segregated station for leaded as I got tired of changing tips on the nicer station.)

Sure you can end up with the same weights. Just start with the same random weights (put it in the source!) and have a deterministic algorithm for training (put it in the source!) and put all the same copyrighted data which Facebook can't just... put in the source, because they don't have the copyright.

Do I need to keep going so you see how stupid the discussion is?

You think like a software developer. Everything is just buncha text, a compiler and build environment. That's not like that.

There's too much shit going in, and the rights of the data are absolutely not clear. But if they had to be, the model wouldn't exist. What you want it friggin' impossible.

GPS satellites needs to correct their clocks based on General Relativity. It is a very very small correction, but quite important to the accuracy of the navigation system, so you see general relativity quite below galactic scale.

On the second hand market the thing to watch for with manuals is shift misses, especially when downshifting which can easily overrev the engine in horrible ways. You can read this out though so that's definitely something to check for if you ever go shopping for stick shift 911s. On the tiptronic that doesn't really happen.
> Pre-traction control though

You’d find it hard to do that now. I’ve had a few moments where I’ve been in Sport Mode and gone to overtake someone on a damp road, accelerated a bit too hard, and then the backend has gone out. Even then it’s trivial to bring under control because of the traction control. It’ll let go a bit, but to spin it you’d have to be quite aggressive.

Not that you don’t have to be careful with all that power, but I’d rather be in a (modern) 911 with that power than probably any other powerful car.

It’s a much more refined car these days, its past reputation as a yuppie killer are pretty much done. It even tells you to switch to Wet Mode when it’s raining :D
Seems irresponsible to advertise to anyone who doesn’t have an understanding of deep learning methods. A big part of therapy is simply getting patients out of the house and interacting with another human being for a time. LLM’s could speak identically and still have failed at providing that. Hence, not good to suggest it as a cheaper/free option in my opinion.

Having said that, people tend to try to make these a subscription service, while this indeed appears to be entirely free ignoring openAI costs. Still I think if you’re not careful someone might get hurt or might get worse care than they otherwise would have because of the appeal of lower prices.

You could take look at Speed Queen. I went for their TC5 machine recently. No lid lock, real deep fill option, etc. It's a $500+ premium over what you can get from Samsung (or anything at Big Box for that matter), but I think it's worth it to have a proper machine that can actually be serviced.

Because the entity doing the certification has access to the source code (if the certification is worth anything at all) and if you really do not trust the certification body you can usually just pay extra for access to the source code without distribution rights and do it yourself. For instance, even Microsoft has the Shared Source Initiative [1] which allows qualified customers access to their source code.

Stop, just stop. I’m not going to reply to the points I’m unfamiliar with but this crap about SpaceX has to be answered (“someone is wrong on the Internet!”)

SpaceX operates what, by reasonable measures, is probably the most reliable launcher in history. That’s the Falcon 9. They are absolutely capable of reliable space operations.

Their two test flights of the Starship stack are test flights. Perhaps a better term would be R&D flights. They’re building something way outside the envelope of what’s ever flown before. If they followed the approach taken by big government contractors and/or classic NASA, we might expect them to fly around 2042 after spending many billions of taxpayer dollars. (Exhibit A, SLS). What you see is a company taking risks to advance the state of the art.

Be thankful or be ignorant but please, please don’t be loudly and proudly wrong!
My understanding is that California air pollution regulations make it incredibly difficult to burn. The fact that, if you don't do a controlled burn it will result in an much larger uncontrolled burn later is not taken into account by the regulations.
> Your second link has prices, not generation costs which is a much more difficult thing to compare

What is your distinction of "generation costs" vs prices?

> Inflation isn't specific to nuclear and regulations will continue to be part of nuclear.

Inflation is a bit relevant in that the average nuclear power plant age is 42. Solar installations by comparisons are a lot more recent. That means that inflation has operated on a longer time period than for solar. And again, I said that's a small part. The primary driver is we've divested from building nuclear because of overblown fears around safety of operation or security or whatever other fear you may associate with nuclear.

As for "regulations will continue to be part of nuclear", that's why I'm saying. Part of investing in nuclear means organizing politically to remove the BS regulations and calling BS on things like security concerns which seem to be purely hypothetical.

> Over time, cheaper generation should win out - absent interventions - so nuclear isn't in a great place to start.

Huh? Like you're shifting the goal posts. It matters very little right now if the cost curve is better for solar. That's for 5-20 years from now and comparing it against a technology we've divested from is a false comparison. It's even more BS considering nuclear remains cheaper today even with effectively 0 investment (most funds have been going to maintenance only) and still remains cheaper than wind & solar. Nuclear can even outperform fossil fuels on price in some cases.

But again. Cost to generate the energy is ultimately a very myopic view because fossil fuels externalize the true cost substantially and literally anything is better. It's estimated to cost $200 trillion dollars to zero out human carbon emissions by 2050 & if we fail it'll cost the US alone ~14.5 trillion dollars in the next 50 years (which again involves on externalizing and ignoring the impact of climate change since the biggest impact to the US is illegal immigration but the biggest direct financial impact is not to the US). Climate-related disasters already cost the world ~$650 billion dollars anually. By comparison the costs associated with building and cleaning up a nuclear power plant and cleaning it up seem quite trivial. Sure at some point solar may get cheaper in absolute dollars to. But it all doesn't matter because the thing we need to get to is negative carbon emissions. Oh and btw. Solar won't be able to solve that. The energy required to start pulling carbon out of the air en masse will require huge energy production that really only a nuclear power plant can scale sufficiently well to handle.

Along these lines it's really troubling to see some parallels already.

For instance, there were some polls that came out a couple weeks ago that showed Trump pulling ahead of Biden and some of the commentators I read from time to time just sort of dismissed them.

Eerily reminiscent of the run-up in 2016 where a lot of folks were just assuming Trump couldn't win "because come on..."

> It’s very easy to create reusable libs in both TS and Python.

I've obviously been doing something wrong then, because I've spent many cumulative hours trying to make these work and there's always compromises. Ever tried making an app with create-react-app that uses a shared lib, with reasonable support for HMR (or even just a working live reload), type hints, breakpoints, de-duplicated dependencies, and linting?

As for python, is it even possible to do with a standard python install? I can't remember all the issues I ran into, but the conclusion I came to is that doing it without something like poetry (at the very least) is so much effort that it's not worth it (and let's not even think about making it cross-platform). It doesn't help that every single source on the internet seems to recommend a different approach.

Compare this to C#, where there's exactly one way to add a reference to a shared library, it takes one line in a csproj file, and it works with just about every type of application out of the box.

Edit: To be clear, I'm talking about locally reusable libs, not published and versioned packages.
No, they aren’t. Literally any of the examples I give did that. Not in consumer, but elsewhere.

> Blackholes bend light for example, isn't that light behaving differently due to gravity?

No. Light "bending" due to gravity isn't a change in the behavior of light. The light is still traveling on the straightest possible path and obeying the same Maxwell's Equations. It's just doing it in a curved spacetime instead of a flat one.
> Most orgs don’t need and won’t benefit from emulating Meta for the sake of emulating Meta.

SO. Much. This.

Worked at more than a few places where the stack had almost as many layers as it had engineers "because this is how we did it at FAANG..."

Right, and those places also had a few orders of magnitude more engineers on staff to support it all. We do one hundredth of the things FAANG does and we have less than 50 _total_ people in the company; the simpler the stack, the better.

I started flying in the 90s. Most of the pilots I met were not rich, but rather just enthusiasts with a particular hobby. The last 30 years have seen fewer people overall, but also skewing more wealthy as the costs have also risen faster than general inflation.

It’s like going to the marina; some people there are notably rich, but most aren’t and are instead just modestly successful folks who put their discretionary money into a hole in the water.

Why do you think its easy?

There's a lot of systems where you can easily take down some hosts, but taking down more than N% at a time causes issues. If your fleet is large enough then you are limited by the largest set of hosts where you can only take N% down at a time. Now you could say keep the sets of hosts small or N% large. But that can cause other issues as you typically lose efficiency or zonal outage protection.

A solution to this could be VM live migration or something similar. This breaks down for storage systems where you can't just migrate those disks virtually since they're physical disks or places that don't use VMs.
Between 2007 and 2021, I did a lot of technical support for GIMP users. So when I say that I know what people mean when they say things like "Stop inventing stuff and just copy Photoshop" or "Make the same menu items" or anything to the same effect, this isn't a bunch of hot air. I really do know what they mean, because I've had long discussions with people about all those things. A lot of those discussions involved angry people shouting at me at the top of their lungs that everybody needs free Photoshop and nobody needs GIMP, so the team should just copy Photoshop. Very few people were willing to discuss workflows and usability.

All of the below are specifically designed to be run without a traditional installation process, each with their own elaborate persistence schemes (which go far beyond your regular distro's live cd + persistence)

(listed in my personal order of preference)

1. Fatdog64

Puppy linux inspired, but really it's own distro. Built from the ground up (LFS & BLFS), with careful attention applied to minimizing dependencies. Resulting in a very lean setup.

They use Slackware's basic pkging tools, but again - they build everything from scratch. So you can think of it as an "alternative minimalistic Slackware", done by someone other than Patrick V.

The layered filesystem is done a bit better than puppy linux (IMHO), and unlike puppy, it can be configured as a proper multiuser system.

The more you delve into Fatdog's innards, the thoughtfulness behind its basic design shows through. Included are a range of scripts to quickly run fatdog within fatdog (to compile and test new pkgs, or just to sandbox an app, or whatever).

Also, the entire set of build "recipes" used to create the set of slackware'd tarballs which make up Fatdog are themselves provided.

For what it's worth, I moved some of my boxes onto Fatdog many years ago, after 10+ years of being purely on gentoo.

2. puppy linux

VoidPup is my favorite here.

3. pure Slackware?

Porteus.

I used this quite heavily a decade ago. It has been refreshed to Slackware15. Portuex ( a derived fork, see it in the portues forum) tracks slackware current, so it should be very up-to-date.

4. Debian-based?

AntiX (very lean, with runit and nicely pre-configured window managers) or MX (more mainstream debian).

You can think of them as 2 flavors maintained by essentially the same group of developers.

Consider AntiX, with repo's switched to sid.
Wrong. Again, this is just basic economic principles.

And no, current unemployment rates are not due to any kind of policy like this. We are not in the middle of a massive Keynesian stimulus. To the contrary, interest rates are high to try to slow things down.
