I don’t understand why this question is kept being asked.

Is Rust holy in some sense that’s it’s not allowed to rewrite the frontend?

It’s still a PITA to bootstrap Rust on a new architecture and there is also no working Rust compiler for architectures not supported by LLVM.

I know that there is codegen_rust_gcc but that one has the same bootstrap problems as the original Rust compiler and also requires architecture support to be landed in various Rust part which Rust maintainers have beem hesitant about (been there, done that).

So, I am absolutely glad that there will be an out of the box usable Rust compiler in the near future which will finally allow me to build rustified libraries again on architectures such as alpha without much pain.

Yep, having that by default since I think 2018, is one of the reasons prusas have a reputation of being super easy to use. It's way better than even a bltouch. Nowadays it's a lot more common thankfully though I don't think other big players use inductive sensors.

Even prusa is now using a load cell that apparently will be used for much more than just bed levelling (the load cell could be able to tell if filament is stuck, because the motor will push without extrusion leading to a variation in load for example).

The pheromones usually work in one direction. Otherwise female flies would also be attracted to other females. Also males seem to prefer infected females only [1]:

That's an option. Still, it's not worth the small amount of money, to me, for a skeevy vendor like that to be able to say that they've paid me.

Unless you have a seriously good reason for not supporting one of the other alternatives to Calibre (such as this project), please just support that project with your efforts?

If you do have a good reason, then please prioritize unit testing, proper release engineering, requiring documentation be included with patches, and proper UX (including, but not limited to, respecting the conventions of the host OS) that is usable by real-world users who don't obsess over managing their library.

Not having to spend an hour configuring stuff so I can sync my reading position and shelves from my e-reader...and then another hour configuring sync to a service like goodreads - would be just swell.

In Texas, you can get stopped for obstructing traffic, regardless of what speed you're driving.

So, you can be speeding, and yet still driving slower than the traffic around you, and you can be given two tickets -- one for speeding, and one for obstructing traffic.

Of the two, obstructing traffic is the bigger fine.

Should this kind of observation be especially surprising for anyone? There are some round-trip inefficiencies to any energy conversion and/or storage system, so using electricity directly if you can is always going to be better than storage - that doesn't mean storage is bad or less important, but it's a tool that we should try and reserve as much as possible for when it's really needed.

It's easy to demonstrate the same thing on a small scale - at my house with hot water heating for example, I run my electric (heat pump) storage hot water heater in the middle of the day, and it almost always runs 100% from solar power (sometimes with extremely cloudy or rainy weather it uses some grid power). I don't have a battery system yet, but I'm doing the sums - and if I relied on instantaneous electric hot water heating so was heating water on demand mostly outside solar hours, even before thinking about the lower round-trip efficiency I'd need a far bigger (and therefore much more expensive) battery system than I will now for the same hot water load.

If you're in an area that has less sunshine but more wind energy, the principle is basically the same, you just have to time it for when there's excess wind energy, but it just seems very obvious that if you can shift high energy use tasks to those times that's always going to be more effective than using batteries, and doing so makes the battery storage cheaper for the electricity use that you really need it for...
I agree with your disagreements. I am really bad with any coding, I have tried to learn Python and CSS several times now and can't remember a single thing. At the age of 12 I was easily able to learn HTML to build functional websites. Despite not having written a website in HTML for over 15 years I am still confident that I would be able to build a website using HTML code only right now.

How is that hostile to beginners when it was the only language that I could ever grasp? Are there coding language out there easier than HTML?
This whole situation reminds me of the EMDrive. There was huge excitement when the news broke of a claimed way to produce momentum without expelling mass. That excitement was only intensified when NASA agreed to test one of the proposed designs. Even after multiple reproducible experiments showed zero thrust a vocal minority still believed.

This isn't exactly like that since the results are slightly less conclusive at this point. But the excitement without reproducible data is definitely there.

> Shutting down a competitor business draws scrutiny.

Let's say I own a lemon orchid and it's known around the area people are welcome to come pick a few as they want, but we primarily sell wholesale. One day, John down the road (who doesn't own an orchid$ decides he wants to sell lemons wholesale too. He proceeds to recruit pickers and they start combing through my open orchid stripping trees to sell.

As a reaction to this behaviour - which I clearly didn't intend for, but did technically allow - am I being anti-competitive? Would you classify this as "shutting down a competitors business"?

I hate Ruby with a passion (it's also the language I mostly use in my day job currently).

It's not necessarily the language itself, which is a reasonable language, it's the patterns that are common in the ecosystem:

1. Use of inheritance for code sharing. It makes it extremely hard to reason about any piece of code I am looking at. Where does the `param` variable come from? Is it injected by any ancestors of the class I'm looking at? Who knows, I have to use the debugger to find out. I cannot reason about the code without it. Of course you can use Ruby while preferring composition over inheritance, it's just rarely done by the community. Other modern languages like Go and Rust wisely leave out inheritance for code sharing in their object model and arguably have much more readable (albeit verbose) code.

2. Global mutable state is everywhere. Not sure if it's Rails architecture that encouraged using global state as request local state (until they found out that this makes concurrency hard), but Ruby codebases are full of global mutable state. It's everywhere and again makes it hard to reason about dependencies between objects and how they interact with each other. Again, this is nothing that the language forces people to do, it's conventions.

3. Overuse of meta programming. Ruby's metaprogramming is really well done in my opinion. The problem is that lots of people
want to use it and do so in places where it doesn't provide enough value to justify the costs. It's an authentication library. It doesn't need it's own DSL.
There are several possible logic paths here. All have the same outcome.

A) assume your issue is real. Proceed to step 5.

B) assume your issue is not real, but the result of a mental illness. Proceed to step 3.

C) assume its neither, proceed to step 6.

3) you cannot logic yourself out of a mental illness anymore than you can logic yourself into it. You can aquire a therapist (proceed to step 4) or not (proceed to step 5)

4) the therapist agrees your threat is real. Proceed to step 5. You therapist agrees your threat is the result of a disease, proceed to step 6.

5) since you are been followed by a gang, with infinite resources, who believe you have infinite money, and who can reach you anywhere in the world, your best approach is acceptance.

one of two things will happen. They will eventually act, or they won't. There's no point trying to avoid it. There's no point caring about who they bribed. Accept that you can't stop it. You have neither the resources, nor skills to prevent it.

6) Accept it. Embrace it. Don't worry about it. What will be will be.

If you are unable to do this, proceed to step 7. If you are able, proceed to step 8.

7) you may not have full mental control of your emotions and responses. (Who of us do?) Seek a therapist to help with this deficiency. Or take up other spiritual disciplines that help you gain this control.

8) Accept there are things in your life that are beyond your control. You might die tomorrow in a car crash. You might live another 50 years. Ce la vie. None of us knows what tomorrow may bring.

Embrace the now. Embrace those around you who care for you. Live your best life. To those who have wronged you, remember Living Well is the best revenge.

help others. We all have problems. You are perfectly positioned to help someone else. Encourage them. Uplift them. Make someone's else's day just a little bit better. All you have left to offer is your light. Make the decision to spread it around.

I wish you well in your journey, whatever the cause, whatever the outcome. I hope you find the peace that comes with the acceptance that we are not in control. May the joy, of bringing joy to others, find you too.

My issue with this is that there's a lot of times when it's faster for me to just build the thing. And building the thing is going to uncover problems a lot faster and a lot more accurately than me sitting down and trying to imagine all the problems that may possibly occur, and then missing problems anyway because it turns out reality is way more complex than you can plan for.

Design documents are great in situations where risks are high, or where code changes take a long time to do (usually because every code change requires a design document).

If a company or individual unrelated to you (e.g. not your employer and not a relative) either gives you a car for free, or sells it to you for $1, with no expectation of anything in return (i.e. not a trade or barter), the only tax obligations are on the actual sales price: the seller must declare they made $0 (or $1) on the sale, and perhaps collect sales tax on the $1, but you as the purchaser are not obligated to pay anything else.

If the seller and buyer are related, tax obligations are different because it involves a gift or implied compensation, but that's not what we're talking about here.

So it is indeed possible to pay no more than $1 for a car. As for registering the title in your name, that's a different story, and has nothing to do with the actual sale.
Since the explainer is pretty long (but it is much more fun to read than the paper, because it is written for the lay people and the paper for experts), here is a sample. It is a description of discovery of memory effect referred to in the title of the paper.

That day, after the first sample was processed and the signal disappeared, I was almost sleepless the entire night, anxiously wondering whether it would recover the next day. It wasn't until the next day, when I personally witnessed the signal reappearing, that you could understand the feeling of having seen the future, right?
> Sure, you can do that, but it has a migration cost, and perhaps some risk. It's not a freebie. Compare that to keeping around hard copies.)

There is a bigger risk with hard copies since they are unique, and storing them is more expensive, so in neither of those points the simple fact that there is a risk and a cost means much, no option is a freebie

>Apple can play since they control OS and hardware, but at the moment they appear pretty far behind in the AI aspect.

I disagree strongly with this, and it has everything to do with how we conceptualize AI.

I get in my car and plug in my iPhone. CarPlay immediately causes the Maps app to pop up and route me to my next meeting. I can say "hey siri, set a reminder to call Mr. Jones at 3:00" and she will gladly comply. If my buddy texts me while I'm driving to the meeting and asks if I'm free for golf tomorrow, she will automatically try to pin that on my calendar. I can throw out lots of examples here, but you get the idea.

Now granted, voice recognition in Siri has been pretty bad. She struggles with a lot of basic things, like putting on the music I request. But, there's no question in my mind that these augmented reality moments are where AI is actually making a difference in our lives and represent the actual business opportunity bridgeheads. In Apple's case, they not only already control the hardware (the phone, the watch, the earbuds, the tablet) but they've also figured out how to start bridging this into other hardware like a vehicle.
That's an interesting idea. Some kind of e-fuse that can permanently disable Find My. As you say, there are some concerns for resale, but let's assume those can be worked out.

I am not sure I see the feature being very useful. If you have lost your laptop without Find My enabled, and someone else gained possession of the laptop and wanted to activate Find My but couldn't because of this feature, you would still almost certainly not be able to recover the laptop. So what does the feature do?

Take this story, for example. If the laptop hadn't been bricked, it seems unlikely that it would have found its way back to OP.

As a nerd, Mastodon wasn’t useful for me. All of my friends are on Snapchat or Instagram, so my mastodon social account sat with zero followers, which means if I post something there is no engagement from anyone and unlikely anyone would see it.

I’m not an online personality by any means, so no followers makes sense.

I think Mastodon is great for people who exist online, just not so much people who exist in real life. I don’t mean any insult by that, just the way it is right now.
I don't think this is a fair comment. Relative to both its population and its economic size, Chinese articles are over-represented in prestigious peer-reviewed journal publications (think Nature and Science).

If I am an HFT engineer, making a faster trading platform literally has very little impact. It doesn't create any value, it just moves value from the slower guy to the faster guy.

Most LoRAs are less effective for facts since changes largely shift attention (Q and K, not V layers) and only touch a tiny percentage of weights at that, however full fine-tunes on models are pretty effective for introducing new facts (you could probably use ReLoRA as well).

There are also newer techniques like or ROME that could edit individual facts, and you might also be able to get there when you are updating by doing a DPO tune of the old vs the new answers as well.

While I agree that RAG/tool use (with consistency checking) might be overall best approach for facts, being able to update/tune for model drift is probably going to still be important.

I'd also disagree about the training entirely from scratch - unless you're changing architecture/building a brand new foundational model or have unlimited time/compute budget, that seems like the worst option (and pretty unrealistic) for most people.

End of last year I had some time and started building a side project I've been thinking about for quite some time. I bought the domain and promised to myself that this time it will be different, this time I will publish.

Months go by, with lots of refactoring, "core" features and no progress at all. Some weeks were most productive than others though and just last month there was something usable.

So instead of doing what I always did, building more stuff, I setup a server, nginx, certbot, and released the damn thing. By released I mean it was available on a URL, but nobody knew about it. And that was calming, because it was out there and that was the goal.

That helped me mentally to just share it with other people and see what happens. And I did, and it wasn't bad, and it was fine.

I still don't have much time to spend on it, but I know it's outhere with people using it, and I can always work on it.
