It's hundreds of "microservices". That's why they created Backstage.

You just need that many people if you are going to go that route. Unfortunately for them, once the economy goes from "stupid good" to "very good", it all starts falling apart.

It's unchecked complexity that at some point is going to destroy you.

And it can literally destroy them.

> 3mo ago, actually.

Yes, and the launch was about 4 months ago. Sure it was in Beta for years, that's how game development works.

> I finished Act 1, but the game was so unrefined and obviously unfinished.

I have no idea what you're talking about, honestly. I'd understand if you talked about Act 3 because of the performance, or the inventory management, but aside from that I don't know what you could be referring to. I have seen fewer bugs than in some games with far less content and complexity.
One could easily argue that F1 hasn't innovated much in the last decade or so. The coolest stuff we get is clever aero and advantageous workarounds that get outlawed extremely fast.
If it's an employee with the permissions to file a ticket, it doesn't matter if they're a developer or not.
It's output is non-deterministic because the next word is sampled from the topN highest scored continuations. The algorithm itself is deterministic.

SW has an input problem and a testability problem. On one hand, the inputs to the SW are not limited (iMessage happily accepts any image file) and testing is limited to some known inputs.
Software vulnerability assesment (worst case analysis) is usually performed outside of the development process at very high costs and limited outcome.
The EU hasn't lost its shit about Android slowly moving from open source to proprietary Google SDKs yet. We won't be safe until they force a Ma Bell-style split, freeing Chrome and Android from Google's tentacles.

Another nice thing about the MacBook2,1 is that it's just about the easiest machine to libreboot, and once you've done that the 32-bit restriction goes away (I'm running Trisquel Lite on mine for the full "libre" experience):

It's an example of fraudulent / malicious behavior found by decompiling industrial logic controllers, with incontrovertible evidence of illegality. Obviously no two situations are ever going to be the exact same, but I think it's clear why the analogy was made.
It would be cool if you would submit your DNA to a public database. It could be useful at some future time.
Most of F1's "innovation" is around finding ways to beat the rules, not necessarily coming up with new technologies.

What effort? If you're truly interested in privacy and security you'd use something like grapheneos.
On my M1 Pro/16GB RAM mac I get decently fast, fully local LLMs which are good enough to do this sort of thing. I use them in scripts all the time. Granted, I haven’t checked the impact on the battery life I get, but I definitely haven’t noticed any differences in my regular use.
We're on the same side of the argument.
There are no games that appeal to everyone so there's nothing wrong with having a negative opinion of a popular game.
Really glad to see this is already packaged for most linux distributions. So many utilities nowadays seem be written in Python, and python apps are such a PITA to install without package manager packages. There's so many different ways to do it and everything seems to be a little different. Some will require root and try to install on top of package manager owned locations, which is a nightmare.

Fedora Toolbox has been wonderful for this exact use case (installing Python tools), but for utilities like this that will be part of a bash pipe chain for me, toolbox won't cut it.
Congrats! I wish Debian would do it too.

I love the concept of PGP. It's too complex for non tech people to put in place ; but it saddens me to think there's an alternative reality where a google or a Microsoft has put it in place and activated it by default, and solved a solid chunk of spams, scams, and made emails secure.

You're not wrong, but the fix is then, "hey, let's extend the functionality of literally every *nix command". Which is hard to achieve. Building sensible serialized object-oriented output is the same problem as building sensible object-oriented output. That's why jc exists, I suppose.

There is always ConvertFrom-String. The problem is that it is one of the least intuitive and worst-performing commands I've used in Powershell. It's awful and I hate it. It's like writing sed and awk commands without the benefit of sed and awk's maturity and ubiquity. IMX, only Compare-Object has been worse.

I definitely think notably better is fairly subjective here.

I have a 4K OLED from 2018. Since then, I think the only notable improvement in the models from the same manufacturer is maybe enhanced-ARC? That is a neat feature, but not sufficient imo. Maybe a 120Hz refresh rate, but very little content even uses 60, let along 120 - at least in the cinema and TV space.
The issue is during evacuation, people may not have the sense to stick to the track their train is stuck on, and may spread out into a parallel track.

I don't see that at all. I see it appeal to idealist.

At the end of the day I think it is more of an economic model rather than that distribution problem. You need a company to be the language power house.
The walking passengers may enter a block that their train has already cleared. So you can't really assume that wherever they walk will be locked.

Saying something isn't "forced" is the opposite of "overloading the string "forced" with several meanings". Also, in the broader context of this argument, I'm for an more expansive definition of "forced" and replying to someone who thinks whatever the union is doing isn't "forcing" anyone. Therefore I'm actually granting my opponent some leeway. If you think the above circumstance also counts as "forced", that actually supports my claim that whatever the union is doing is "forcing" people.
Someone smarter will probably correct me, but I don’t think that is how MoE works. With MoE, a feed-forward network assesses the tokens and selects the best two of eight experts to generate the next token. The choice of experts can change with each new token. For example, let’s say you have two experts that are really good at answering physics questions. For some of the generation, those two will be selected. But later on, maybe the context suggests you need two models better suited to generate French language. This is a silly simplification of what I understand to be going on.
They're probably spying on the balloon intercepting abilities of other countries and want everyone to know about them this time.
> spoof sensitive DNS records, resulting in varying consequences from credential theft to full Active Directory domain compromise

It sounds insane to me that the security of anything would depend on the validity of a DNS record, but I vaguely remember that AD is extremely dependent on DNS configuration
The real solution is to plan for having a low-power access point in every room. Maybe even hidden in the ceiling of every room.

Everything gets faster and more reliable when you limit crosstalk. If anything, I’d want my future home to have WiFi-blocking walls and access points everywhere.
Back in the '80s I was helping a buddy upgrade the stereo system in his RX-7. The teenager down the street comes by and educates us that "you should be using really thin wire, like telephone wire, because otherwise the amp sucks all your power." My buddy was an electrical engineer at Hewlett-Packard.
Yeah, I agree. The focus here should be the principle of least surprise so your database works correctly. Throw an error to ensure that unintuitive edge cases are handled explicitly. This is SQL after all. It’s used for business purposes, not to demonstrate elegant type systems built around relational algebra.
From an anti-censorship / user interface perspective, AirDrop is closer to the mesh network dream, but, yeah, from a network topology perspective, Find My is an actual mesh network, and AirDrop is not.

I'd love to see something with the characteristics of Find My, but open to arbitrary data transfers. The cell connectivity in my area is poor (due to monopolies not bothering to build out infrastructure, unless you believe there's no demand for network connectivity in the SF Bay Area...), and most places I drive to have guest wifi networks anyway.

I can easily imagine dropping my cell phone plan and only being available for high-latency text messages (and emergency calls to 911) when out and about.
TL;DR: Exercise is like anything else in life. Balance and moderation > extremism.
The F-Droid app repository has been available since 2010, no Samsung/Google restrictions on installing it.
yes I read that. do you think it's reasonable to assume that the same expert will be selected so consistently that model swapping times won't dominate total runtime?

This being said, presumably if you’re running a huge farm of GPUs, you could put each expert onto its own slice of GPUs and orchestrate data to flow between GPUs as needed. I have no idea how you’d do this…
There are devices for automobiles that intercept sensor data and feed back fake data to the ECU to bypass emissions controls. It's a fairly simple to do.

I have a buddy with a WRX that absolutely should not pass smog, has no cats, big turbos, tune, etc, but it has no codes, passes every time without issue because the sensor data is synthetic that governs those things.
Yes, the state has two "rainy day" funds: The Budget Stabilization Account (BSA) for the general fund and a separate reserve fund for Proposition 98 (i.e. school funding). The BSA currently has roughly $21B[0] and the Prop. 98 Reserve is over $8.5B[1].

However, due to "the significant downward revenue adjustment to 2022‑23", the state will actually continue contributions to, not make withdrawals from, the BSA[0].

Modal Labs Deep Dive
I've been using Modal Labs for almost a year for Machine Learning Deep Learning apps in production. Modal is a game changer infra platform esp. for the computing stack. I have decided to write a deep dive into the inner working of Modal. This is something I wish had existed when I started using Modal. Lastly, I'll conclude with a few best practices.
You're not necessarily wrong, but I'd imagine this is almost prohibitively slow. Also, this model seems to use two experts per token.

Mixtral-8x7B support --> Support new model

https://github.com/stanford-futuredata/megablocks/pull/45
See my poorly educated answer above. I don’t think that’s how MoE actually works. A new mixture of experts is chosen for every new context.
The Swedish model makes it so that we rarely have large strikes, despite having strong unions, as typically companies work together with the unions rather than against the unions.

In a way the Swedish model has found an equilibrium between company powers and workers right that has been very productive.

Yes, that's more or less it - there's no guarantee that the chosen expert will still be used for the next token, so you'll need to have all of them on hand at any given moment.

That is an issue for sure, but I'm responding to the possibility of a train hitting another where the passengers have opted to stay on the halted train
If you're in it for the pay and work-life balance then nothing generally speaking. Working for a very early stage startup should be difficult. You'd be silly to expect job security and you should assume hard and long hours.

The reason I sometimes join them is because I personally find it far more interesting than a corporate gig. The reason I'm here writing this comment and the reason I work in tech is because I've always been interested in tech startups.

The way I've always saw it is that typically within a year (or maybe two) the company will likely have failed and you can move on to something else, or if you're lucky the company will have found its market fit and you should then perhaps expect to be move fairly compensated for your work, and if you're not you'll have a lot of bargaining power within the company.

If you're very lucky, then you'll get to ride the coattails of the success of the company, both in terms of having a likely leadership position in the company and in terms of stock options.

It's high risk / high reward. Take it or leave it.

> Deduplicating code ends up coupling together code paths that are entirely unrelated, which ends up increasing the complexity

Code paths that may be unrelated. If they are related, then deduplicating is most definitely a good idea. If they're trying to do the same thing, it makes sense that they call the same function to do it. If they do completely different things that currently happen to involve some of the same lines of code, but they could become different in the future, then deduplication makes no sense.

Sorry to say but you're naive to think you can trust someone when it comes to diet. There's a reason human diet studies are considered very difficult if not impossible (given ethical requirements, although of course it can be done unethically like making people afraid of saturated fats for no good reason). Fair enough on the second point, though, I believe you.

If you have so much faith in civil jury verdicts, then do the previous lawsuits against egg producers where the jury found them innocent disprove the conspiracy [1]?
