What a weird thing to say. What difference does the color of people’s skin make? I just got back from Tokyo—wouldn’t it be bizarre for me to complain that it was too uniformly Japanese? Would it be better if there were fewer Japanese people and more Indian people? Why exactly?
Sorry, what does PNGs mean?
How Do I
Hey all, I am hoping someone can give me some pointers/suggestions here. I'm a solodev and I'm facing the exciting challenge of recruiting more developers to contribute to my open-source project, and I would love to tap into the collective wisdom of this community for some valuable insights.

What are the best strategies you've found for recruiting developers to contribute to open-source projects?

Whether you're an open-source project maintainer, a contributor, or someone who has successfully recruited developers in the past, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Here are a few specific questions to get the discussion going:

What channels/platforms have you found most effective for reaching potential contributors?

How do you communicate the unique value and mission of your open-source projects to attract developers?

Are there specific incentives or engagement strategies that you've found particularly successful in encouraging contributions?

How do you create an inclusive and welcoming environment for new contributors?

Feel free to share your experiences, success stories, or any lessons learned along the way. Your insights will be incredibly valuable not only to me but also to others in the community who are navigating similar challenges.

Thanks a bunch!
OP is referring to having to have an abortion in extenuating medical circumstances.
Im my view, he's stuck reasonably closely to the "secret Tesla master plan" for almost two decades. Some people will point out that he hasn't stuck 100% to it, with which I agree, but as I read it, he's followed it more than closely enough to demonstrate that he'll follow his principles.

And that plan specifies ideals, so he has ideals too. Quoting: "the overarching purpose of Tesla Motors … is to help expedite the move … towards a solar electric economy, which I believe to be the primary, but not exclusive, sustainable solution."

Looks like, again, this doesn't have GPT-4 processing video as much as a stack of video frames, concatenated and sent as a single image. But much closer to real!
The thing is, what counts as "abuse" has considerably changed.

There seems to be a shift towards, how someone perceives something, not how something actually is.

That can mean, that it is no longer possible to speak about something unpleasant, as someone might consider that an insult - and that is then the opposite of freedom of speech.

In other words, I don't enjoy the assholeness of 4chan - but I also do not enjoy overly polite spaces, avoiding all controversy. I am not clear yet, what this Oasis seems to aim for, but it might be the latter.
> The Texas Supreme Court on Friday night put on hold a judge’s ruling that approved an abortion for a pregnant woman whose fetus has a fatal diagnosis, throwing into limbo an unprecedented challenge to one of the most restrictive bans in the U.S.

> Cox learned she was pregnant for a third time in August and was told weeks later that her baby was at a high risk for a condition known as trisomy 18, which has a very high likelihood of miscarriage or stillbirth and low survival rates, according to her lawsuit.

> Furthermore, doctors have told Cox that if the baby’s heartbeat were to stop, inducing labor would carry a risk of a uterine rupture because of her two prior cesareans sections, and that another C-section at full term would would endanger her ability to carry another child.

It'd be awesome if there's HAT+ for multi-port and multi-GbE Ethernet, and this can be a very popular poor man's SDN kit.

There's one for RPi CM4, but with RPi 5 it will be much better in stability with the native heat sink available in the latter [1].

The additional two USB-3 ports on RPi 5 can be transformed to two 2.5 GbE ports, and another 2.5 GbE on the PCIe interface. Overall it probably can support 1 GbE (built-in) and additional 3-port 2.5 GbE via HAT+ extension.

tool you add to your company arsenal; it must actually provide some value.
In my industry there are a lot of big, medium, and small companies. However, it's still somehow a small world. Go to enough major conferences and you meet enough people and start to recognize the faces and before you know it you've made friends with key people at a lot of companies. So it's not too hard to email someone or give them a call and talk about what you're interested in and if they're interested if that makes sense.
> You could make the argument that many European states have dominant ethnic groups like the French, though they are nominally secular nations.

France officially rejects the idea of French ethnic nationalism. France’s nationalism is civic and linguistic - the French nation is defined in terms of citizenship and language, not in terms of ethnic ancestry - in fact, the French government does not even know the ethnic/racial composition of their country, since they refuse to collect statistics on it. So I disagree with the suggestion that France is an “ethnostate”

> Saudi Arabia is named after the Arabs

Both the Saudi royal family and the Saudi religious establishment have always opposed Arab nationalism; the only significant Arab nationalist force in Saudi politics was the outlawed Arab Socialist Action Party opposition, which was mostly crushed by the Saudi regime in the 1980s, and by 1991 or so was extinct.

the article gave exactly zero figures to justify the title. just a few anecdotes

i don’t see anything that makes me think there’s a “mass exodus”
And then return home to a state where much of the populace, and the government consider them to be actual murderers.

Also, depending on the county they live in, anyone who helps them leave the state to have the medically required abortion may be breaking the law. Would this include the reservation agent at the airline? Sounds like it would.

A left leaning drain, yes. But that doesn't mean the state is any worse or better intellectually than the influx that has been occurring into Texas for years.
> If they can’t get the statistics right, how can we expect it from teachers with far less education?

I’m unconvinced that the incentives pull them towards “better use proper statistical methods” or penalize them when they don’t.

This is, IMO, not insufficient education; if it’s not, the premise that math teachers given incentives to get it right couldn’t accomplish it because they have less education than a PhD sociologist is flawed.
I don't know if it's absurd but it is nosy. If other people want to use a less-secure OS that's none of your business.

> This is unrelated to math. More related to IQ. Seems that students in the non STEM realm generally lack the ability to find patterns as professors witnessed. People should take more concerns on this phenomenon.

Yep, this holds true for programming too. You either have the mental capability to turn a problem into a set of instructions that can be coded (and then grind through the syntax and language specifics) or you don't. I'm not that young anymore, so my first formal programming course was in college (at the time when pretty much every stem student had a computer at home, some even a laptop for college), but it was just like this... with zero correlation to math grades, some would understand the concept and break the "idea" down to basics programmable steps, and some would get stuck at the "design" phase.

Also, this was basic programming... eg. fibonacci sequence, so they could explain recursion after that. Basically, some would understand "ok, I have to start at zero and go on, but i don't need to remember just the last two numbers, so two variables, previous and previousprevious, and a loop,..." (and then debug the for loop since it starts at zero, and <= was used for n or whatever), and some would get stuck in a mental loop, if they have a "n", how do they get the previous two numbers, if they need previous numbers for those too.

So this is way before the level of patterns and generalizations, where you need the subject matter knowledge to even know, if you should fit the curve to a straight line or some higher function.
Shitposting wasn't the best choice of words, sorry. I think you know what I'm getting at though. There are cheeky artists and those to whom cheekiness is the art. The latter cohort are just annoying trolls, but the former group can animate communities. You just don't tend to find them among the small souled and dogmatic bitdiddlers that haunt every upstart platform.
I imagine that those social scientists would have had a better understanding of statistics if they took stats in highschool.
I suppose it is determined by where you set the bar, even more so with privacy which still varies person-to-person and can sometimes take a qualitative feel.

Security wise, there is interesting work adopting MLS (and I believe key transparency) under Matrix, see https://arewemlsyet.com for example.
I honestly wouldn't mind learning what these looked like! I wasn't really aware of the long tail of the scene back in the day.
Normally I want basically everything to be open source. But as soon as I saw that audio restyling demo, I began to feel concerned they may be open sourcing this. The model can take a sample speakers voice, new text to speak, and also a description of a new location (like a cathedral with many echoes, or other background noises) and produce a convincing new audio sample.

This technology will present serious challenges for the verification of covertly recorded audio. It will of course ultimately become widespread but I’m not inherently bothered by the idea of slowing down its release. Giving researchers extra time to examine possible detection techniques seems helpful to me.
That's a perfectly valid motivation, but if it's really what someone is going for, I expect to hear an objection that sounds something like "oh, that's cool! but I'd rather try out doing it myself" rather than the faintly contemptuous "why is this worth $X when I could do it myself".

>But many startups are now choosing to leave the capital city they once flocked to because of the rising cost of living, low funding, and lack of diversity, according to TechCrunch.

No one leaves because of "lack of diversity": look at how Bellingham WA exploded in the last few years. Further, the VMware layoffs and Meta/Facebook and Google retrenchment are country-wide and not confined to only Austin.

What is more likely is that Austin, which saw a huge run-up in home prices, is just not as affordable as before. Add in quality of life things like longer commute times, and the end of ZIRP draining available funding...
10 years or so ago I’d suspect it may have been snappy[0] on Android vs default gzip.

The supposed migration to Austin was always destined to reverse.

Austin is a mid-tier city when it comes to amenities, weather, food, and more. That works for a lot of people, including myself.

But for those established in places like the Bay Area, Seattle, or New York City - it’s a hard sell. Sounds like it took a few years for these companies to figure that out.
By the time a machine learning model can replace 1000 workers they’ll just stop hiring real workers. What remains will be tasks which can’t be automated.
To be more specific the person you replied to has confused total amount present (of U, etc), with total amount recoverable (at any cost), and not even addressed total amount that is economically feasible (a cost that can be afforded).

WRT: "total amount"

Elements in suspension in ocean water become increasingly dilute as more of them are removed .. so "in theory" 'all you need to do' is move the entire ocean from one bucket to another and remove what you need as you do so ... (otherwise you are constamtly circling back for diminishing returns).

WRT: "recoverable"

Then there is the no small matter of exactly how uranium (or other elements) are extracted, by what means and at what efficiency - today it's unclear what the answer for that is at scale.

WRT: "economically feasible"

Once you have a method, how much can be recovered at a sensible cost .. for less energy than the energy expended for the recovery task, how much gold can you mine for lesss than the value of the gold recovered, etc.

It's not feasible to mine all the roadways on the planet to recover all the valuable minerals burnt away in catalytic converter.
What OS? I just tried it against right now on Windows 10 and it only saves 1 window.
origin of name https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayllu

> The ayllu, a family clan, is the traditional form of a community in the Andes, especially among Quechuas and Aymaras. They are an indigenous local government model across the Andes region of South America, particularly in Bolivia and Peru.

> Ayllus functioned prior to Inca conquest, during the Inca and Spanish colonial period, and continue to exist to the present day – such as the Andean community Ocra.[1] Membership gave individual families more variation and security on the land that they farmed.[2] Ayllus had defined territories and were essentially extended family or kin groups, but could include non-related members. Their primary function was to solve subsistence issues, and issues of how to get along in family, and the larger community. Ayllus descended from stars in the Inca cosmogony, and just like stars had unique celestial locations, each ayllu had a terrestrial location defined by the paqarina, the mythical point of emergence of the lineage huaca.[3]

there's really not that many free software projects named in quichua; that has to be a point in its favor

i'm not sure about the usability tho. the front page links to https://ayllu-forge.org/projects/ayllu/refs which links to https://ayllu-forge.org/projects/ayllu/commit/bb5e8bf796f49e... which only displays the diffs; it took me a while to figure out that the 'browse' button links to the tree as of that version https://ayllu-forge.org/projects/ayllu/tree/bb5e8bf796f49ed1... which does have the information i was actually looking for: it's 70% rust with the rest being html, sass, sql, and svg

there are some evident bugs; that last page displays the sizes of subdirectories as 'NaN B' and declares that their permissions prohibit reading them ('d---------')

still, at first glance it seems eminently usable, despite the performance problems and obvious bugs

Lived in Austin for most of my life and moved away as soon as I could due to Heat and traffic. It’s not an enjoyable place to live weather wise for most of the year. Basically you feel trapped at home either due to heat or don’t want to deal with traffic which I am sure by now is most the day.
Just wanted to say, I really enjoyed reading your guys conversation, since I barely never do low-level optimizations like that. Very interesting, thanks for sharing your thoughts!

> The Han may dominate but the country functions more like a colonial empire.

At the level of spoken language, Han natively speak several mutually unintelligible languages; even at the written level, most of the mutually intelligibility only exists in the more formal registers. Are Han really one ethnic group then? Or more like a family of closely related ethnic groups?

> Japan is something else. The description makes sense there

Are Ryukyuans the same ethnic group as Yamato Japanese?

The video is an actual live demo without any editing or other tricks involved and even includes reasonable mistakes and the code used. It is not close to real, it's just real.

And it's just a shame that he felt the need to lie about Tesla so often?

In 2016 Tesla claimed "as of today, all Tesla vehicles produced in our factory – including Model 3 – will have the hardware needed for full self-driving capability at a safety level substantially greater than that of a human driver":

https://www.tesla.com/blog/all-tesla-cars-being-produced-now...

That was a straight up lie. Where were his ideals and principles then?

Why did he lie about the $35,000 Model 3? Why did he lie about the $40,000 Cybertruck? Why does he feel the need to lie about something as trivial as quarter mile times for a truck:

https://insideevs.com/news/699260/tesla-cybertruck-porsche-r...

It's pathetic.

US-centered response, assuming the article is about US education.

The article is off track vs what I observed with my kids math (typical middle of the country small public hs). Nobody gets to do trig until they've done boat loads of stats.

The thing I saw missing was the kind of top notch teacher that can inspire and intrigue the students. This can only be addressed by paying teachers much more. That's not going to happen. Our school only had one "real" math teacher, and he retired last year.
SF does not exist in a vacuum. How many people that work in SF don't live there? But they still contribute to the city's economy, to the companies that are based there and pay taxes to the city. Why shouldn't they get some say with what happens in SF, even if they don't live there?

One of the points this article tries to make (somewhat badly) is that SF's housing policy affects other cities too.
Yeah, that felt entirely shoe-horned into this article. I couldn't find any further explanation within the article, or the parent article it references. Just pure assertion on the author's part.

If true, we'd also expect to see mass closures of eng offices in places like Tokyo, Shanghai or Mumbai due to their "lack of diversity."
I just setup sops for a personal project today and wished it was slightly more opinionated much like this (I also like the age reference in your readme). Will definitely give this a go.
Among people I know here in Austin, who are all largely in the middle class, it's wildly assumed you'd just travel out of state if needed. It's a weird situation. The people who should be moving are people for whom an out-of-state abortion is financially impossible, but obviously, if you can't afford two to three days off work, a hotel and a plane ticket, you probably can't afford to move either.

One thing people should keep in mind when reading others’ comments about how good an LLM is at coding, is that the capability of the model will vary depending on the programming language. GPT-4 is phenomenal at Java because it probably ate an absolutely enormous amount of Java in training. Also, Java is a well-managed language with good backwards-compatibility, so patterns in code written at different times are likely to be compatible with each other. Finally, Java has been designed so that it is hard for the programmer to make mistakes. GPT-4 is great for Java because Java is great for GPT-4: it provides what the LLM needs to be great.
Definitely ought to be paid more but I suspect even with more pay, most teachers don’t have that special sauce.
