This sounds like just the kind of plan a company that has no idea how to write software would do. You're an Oracle.
I like(d) them, they were great last mile vehicles, smaller than bicycles and all electric so I didn't have to pedal. Now they did have their problems such as cluttering up cities but they were fun.
This article is weirdly incoherent. I thought Tom's Hardware was reasonably high quality. Did it get sold or something?
Culture series by Iain M. Banks. There are 10 books. It's about a utopian galactic civilization governed by super AIs. Most of the super AIs are giant spaceships that transport people. Most people live for 500+ years, and a lot of them switch sexes. People also have drug glands which allow them to instantly administer 200 different drugs via mental trigger.

It is almost certainly the extremely forceful tone I used coupled with the unpleasantness of content. I am just a dumb Army guy, but I have found that if you want to grab people's attention be direct and be forceful. Otherwise unpleasantness is just ignored.

GPU-only will be faster if you have enough VRAM.

But if you want to run a model that requires more VRAM than you have, the current approach is to use llama.cpp and specify n_gpu_layers. That works, but is slower than GPU-only.

OP claims to be 10x as fast as llama.cpp in the case when you can't fit the whole model in VRAM.
How are you calculating that?

Iceland volcano: aerial footage shows scale of eruption [video]
Look, I get that you have an emotional connection to this company’s image but it’s important to try to think rationally about it. Ask what’s more likely: Reuters not verifying the source of the documents and the people they interviewed so they could run a hit piece on a famously litigious man’s company, or that they did follow standard journalistic practices and it turns out that all of the things you’ve read online about quality control issues are actually representative?
Also worth mentioning the downloadable llama2 models, and the convert.py file.
That's not useful. Here's my diagram for a new connector -> .

Connector design like this is a delicate balance between signal integrity (wants biggger) and mechanical integrity (wants bigger) and size (always smaller).

As for signal integrity: A lot of the signal integrity was papered over by having complex interface chips. This is why there is so much training and negotiation in USB-C.

As for mechanicals: The whole point of USB-C was to take failure-mode data from the previous generations and design a connector that avoided those. USB-C, in spite of how many people bitch about it, was designed so that the the most probable failure modes (which they learned from prior things like mini and micro USB) occur in the cable--ie the replaceable part.

None of this design expertise is inside Google.
I want to echo this. When contactless is ubiquitous there are pretty much no problems.
I get that brake lights can be mechanical, but man would those parts wear down and be unreliable. Also, having your trailer help with the braking is very nice (and communicated via wire).
Imho content is content and the creators get more when I pay, and I also don’t see ads. It’s win win and cheaper then other streaming platforms so I don’t see it being out of line cost wise.

55% to creators 45% to platform to host and stream while also supporting a ton of creators who have little to no views.

Seems a better deal then Netflix ect with more ability to control where your dollar goes
Surely there are ways to improve and simplify the pinsetting machine without resorting to strings? I suppose it's not a glamorous engineering challenge but this feels like a pretty lazy "solution"

I was under the impression that most pre-industrial societies had slavery. Or at least most societies that were successful.

The Bible has passages on how to be a moral slave owner.

As far as conflating industrialization with capitalism, I'm sorry, I'm actually very far left politically but this is just a fact. It's underappreciated in the west that 5 year plans worked well, but they were following a template 200 years, 2 full centuries, later. 100 years after successful British capitalists banned slavery.

I built a similar website this summer https://wikisp.fanor.dev ! The source code is also open source https://github.com/haskaalo/wikisp

Its built from Wikipedia dumps in July. Links in articles shouldn't have changed much by now but updating the data set takes quite a long time!

One of my first project that taught me that gathering and cleaning data in data science is a long task, even if automated.
How about electromagnets?
They need to take care of this before it blows up in their face.

Why does it need to be app based? Can’t you use CC terminals like a normal gas station? Swipe or tap card like any other payment?
Funny that this is being touted as new technology when throughout my youth I can only remember bowling at lanes that used string pinsetters. The fancy mechanical ones only came much later, and at least in Europe plenty of places never bothered to upgrade at all and still work this way. So this is less of an upgrade and more a reversion to an older, simpler, cheaper way of doing things.
It varies by country. In NZ we pay about $0.5 each time using contactless/apple pay, but 0 when using chip+pin.

IMO websites and/or open API's are way to go - allows third parties to build integrations, automations and superapps that enable all sort of benefits for users.
Turns out VScode is indeed a web browser in disguise, who would have thought!

I use it almost daily. It is a great tool for sysadmin work, and a must for a lot of websites with less-than-honorable tracking policy.
How much does a 2 GW Solar + (2 GW?) battery cost compared to a new nuclear plant?

It's disingenuous to compare solar to nuclear without the equivalent storage.
Particularly in a world where every new phone and smartwatch integrates tap-to-pay, seems like a no-brainer to just integrate at that point.
motion capture markers in the bowling suit you rented on arrival transform you, in the eyes of everyone's VR goggles, into the temporary skin that came with your Frozen 3-themed Game & Ice Cream combo ticket. you appear as kristoff, your buddy appears as elsa. actually eating the ice cream is prohibited without an active Disney+ subscription, be sure to link your account prior to arrival. more sophisticated players snicker quietly to one another about your plebeian choice of a mass-market skin; they are of course using limited-edition outfits that were bought or earned. bowling professionals and top amateurs enjoy individually rigged tailoring bearing sponsor logos. no-one looks like themselves. each strike builds up "golden balls" that can be spent as an in-alley currency for powerups e.g. allowing you roll again, or to penalise an opponent. gameplay never supplies enough of the golden balls but you can buy more with real money, or earn small increments by orating the slogan of an apparel company to the satisfaction of a performance-judging ai. the ai has a reputation for penalising foreign accents but this is hotly denied. after the game you are awarded special tokens that can only be spent on hats
Show HN: AI driven code reviewer (Free for OSS)
like the author, i burned out on the extracurricular grind necessary to get into an elite college and as a result, spent most of my university years severely depressed.

for me, it was debate club. i liked debate, but the form of it i participated in was a rich man's game and i was simply not a rich man. i didn't have the money to fly to the east coast every weekend to attend tournaments or pay people to assemble cases and evidence briefs for me. it wasn't worth the coaches' time to even listen to me practice because i wasn't wealthy enough to compete at a high level.

that feeling of futility persisted across other extracurriculars. i participated in the science fair, but my advisor instantly became dismissive when it became clear that my parents couldn't gift me a competitive research opportunity at their lab or hospital because they, y'know, didn't work at a lab or hospital. the school i went to had a lot of rich kids; i once spotted one of my classmates at the airport on their way to volunteer in uganda over the summer.

math team ended up my saving grace. perhaps it's because we weren't quite so competitive - we did well regionally but were not competitive at a state or national level - but there was something freeing in just solving math problems. afterschool math practice was free and open to everyone. there were a variety of different competitions, team and individual, geared for different skill levels and specializations. no one cared about what my parents did for a living, thank god. it was just about solving the damn math problem.

Let's go back to the source, Cory Doctorow's article:

Here is how platforms die: first, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die. I call this enshittification...

It would seem not to apply here. Bowling alleys don't really have a two-sided marketplace; they don't have business customers to sell the fruits of abusing their bowling customers, if you could call subjecting bowlers to a more annoying set of pins "abuse".

On this small scale, rebuilding would likely be more expensive than this tunnel. But extending this network to every home would be (IMO) on the same order of magnitude as redevelopment in cost, complexity, and time. Redevelopment is complicated during construction but this system is also complicated forever. Our cities are already being rebuilt piece-by-piece every day; I'd just like zoning laws to permit rebuilding with mixed use and higher density development
"Forget" might be a strong word for something not mentioned in the article or comment chain.
I would be curious about that person, too, but devil's advocate...

How do you know you can aim that person's drive for math towards company problems?

Unless and until you know that, is it more positive signal to look for people who, well, have solved company problems?

Canada just announced that it want no gas cars (hybrid fine i think?) by 2035 with yearly percentage requirements for manufacturers (eg, 40% of vehicles to be EV, etc).

That seems like a pretty insane timeline if they're not actually driving the work for the charging infrastructure. There are way too many homes/places that would have to be retrofitted.
The latest Model 3 refresh ditches the stalk, though it’s not due to land in the UK until 2024 I believe. Several UK-based outlets have coverage of it though, which is how I learned of it.
>The United States also operates a reusable robotic space plane, the Boeing-built X-37B. Similar to China's Shenlong space plane, little is known about the exact operations or capabilities of the X-37B. The U.S. Space Force is currently set to launch the spacecraft atop a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket on Dec. 28 after several delays.

So China has launched a space plane and deposited some devices in space just before the US launches their space plane? I wonder if they put some "listeners" up there to see if they can get any data from the US space plane.
In my High School experience I encountered two styles of knowledge competition. Quiz Bowl, which was essentially Jeopardy. And Academic Super Bowl, which was like extra school.

Quiz Bowl was full of a ton of smart kids with various interests. We "practiced," but the only skill you could really develop was being able to predict a question before it was finished so you could be the first to answer. Questions varied widely from competition to competition. One time we got to be on local TV to compete, but there really wasn't a season or tournaments. It was mostly 1 on 1 matches after school. Overall it was a ton of fun.

Academic Super Bowl was also full of smart kids, but they were more goal oriented. It was something you had to study for. Before the competition you were given some categories, you assigned categories to teammates, studied, and then competed at various events. It was literally just more memorization. I got drafted to do it one year the night before a competition, because I was The Guy for a topic they needed a teammate for. It was awful. I fumbled my way through because I didn't have near the detailed knowledge required for the specific subcategory. I probably would have done better if I had more time to prep. It was a big tournaments, and at the end there were different prizes for schools by various sizes.

The type of kids in the two were varied. Everyone wanted to get into a good college. The former seemed to love knowledge for the sake of knowledge. While the later had a ton more grit, they lacked passion in areas outside of directed study. The former would read a book, because it was mentioned offhand in another piece of media. The later would read a book because it was assigned to them.

Reading through this thread, it seems like people's experiences of Math Competitions varies from one to the other. Having grit to study and work at it gets you far, but having passion probably gets you further. The issue is grit tends to be fungible while passion is not.
It takes something like half of a second for my Apple Pay Amex/Visa to let me through the barrier in the London Underground, and the complexity they have to deal with for fare calculations is quite something too.

There's a trend of these things happening. Reporters constantly miss what tracking tech does.

Reality Winner's situation, where they gave the actual printout she gave them to the feds and it had secret codes embedded in it to identify when/where printed (a long standing thing in printers, in case you didn't know) completely violated her trust with the reporters.

There was also the situation where the NYT reporter got docs from a leaker about Les Moonves' sexual harassement case. The reporter put in stupid info that outed the lawyer, that was on the line of "the docs has 57 pages" and a couple of other very specific things.

There needs to be some kind of education system for reporters that helps them stop outing sources. We are of course served by extreme misdeeds being exposed in the press, whether it gores your own ox or someone else's. But reporters have to stop doing this. Don't publish and actual photo, please re-encode it, remove metadata, do it twice, try to test it yourselves to find something. Don't put numbers. Don't use exact phrasing. When big companies like microsoft try to find leakers, they have software that slightly changes the phrasing in their big company missives, I was told this by a microsoft exec once.

That doesn't make sense because you have to move the pins out of the way after they have been knocked over. If they are attached to the lane at the bottom then where do they go?
This is also the problem with some "zero value postcodes", at least in Netherlands[1] – I'm not sure how that works in the US. People just manually fill in "1111 AA", "1234 AB", etc. and forms blindly accept that – it is a valid postcode after all. People have had their utilities disconnected, have debts ascribed to them, are unable to register for services, etc.

Hi there!

I made the initial suggestion to look into Robin Hood hashing when it was first posted on Reddit.

Glad to see it make its way into the repo!
Hm. Type annotations as comments is the ultimate annoyance to my coworkers. They really do see them as "what's the point" in that case. Plus, like you say, they are misleading. The look like code, but they don't do anything.
Really enjoyed reading this! It’s very informative reading about the effectiveness of each measure you took. I’ve had a room dedicated as my office since moving into our house, but it’s on the main level of our home which means, ahem, a great deal of child noise. I’ve often wondered if a corner of a bedroom, unused as is the rest of upstairs during the day, wouldn’t offer a far more sound-isolated environment. Probably with solid core doors it would be a much better option.

It’s funny how most of us feel like we “need” a dedicated room, but really, a bedroom is in many ways an ideal space to give a second, daytime use to, unless you have a partner at home who takes naps or something.

Anyway, for now I bought a WeWork subscription!
And employment opportunities galore!
I've used this one too. It works well.
I agree. Technical debt is a very useful concept and it's not helpful to dilute its meaning.

Only a couple days ago I decided to change some data structure. It was needlessly hard because I had neglected to create an accessor function and was instead accessing it directly everywhere. Had to change every bit of code that accessed the structure's fields.

That's technical debt: something the programmer should have done but for whatever reason didn't. I paid back the debt by doing it: I created the function. Now if I want to change the data structure I only have to update the function. If I hadn't paid it back, it would start accruing interest: it would be even harder in the future as more and more stuff accessed the fields.
Fair point! I have a 4 yr old and 1 yr old that sometimes must be home in the living room and sun room (which we use as the stroller room), so I really want to be able to have a door between my office and their areas.
And that really gets to the heart of it. Safety-ism being played as a trump card is another great example. People confuse claims of enshittification with some kind of Marxist, class-based discourse, which in this case would be nullified by concerns for some worker, but that's not what it's about. Enshittification says that there can be no transcendent values, like aesthetics or adherence to tradition, but instead that money rules over all.
But not your carry-on. That has to go through the slower line unless you also pay for the Crystal Clear Plus upgrade. It comes with a 20% discount on the $8 baggage carts though, so it's a great deal!
> So the question is: how do you know, whether /some/random/file has been modified while your daemon or application wasn't running or the filesystem wasn't mounted on your system, without performing a stat call on it? If you don't have an answer to that, which also needs to be orders of magnitudes faster, then you'll never match the performance of Everything.

Well, my intention is to match the feature list of Everything, but on Linux, and as far as I knew, Everything did not have full support for external drives - you'd have to convert them to NTFS, or add them to be indexed manually.

The use-case I've seen for Everything has always been for a local user searching their local PC; I wasn't even sure until now that Everything can sometimes search transient filesystems because know one I ever saw using it used it for files on a transient filesystem.

You're correct; what I cannot do is monitor transient filesystems; but doing permanent filesystems at a speed better than or equal to Everything is still better than anything I've used on Linux, many of which don't even search system files, nevermind transient filesystems. And they all use the locate db which is always a day or so out of date.

And yes, it can be done purely by monitoring filesystem changes. Sure, a full index needs to be built the first time, but that's a one-off cost - index updates after that should be fast enough to do for each write/remove/move operation that you can update the index dozens of times per second.

For non-transient filesystems, performance should be the same as, or better than, Everything.
Not for translations. Did a lot of experimenting different local models. None come even a bit close to the capabilities of chatgpt. Most local models just outputting plain wrong intormation. I am still hoping one day it will be possible. For our business a huge opportunity.

My approach is a form of progressive summarization. I pull out salient bits from my notes roughly weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly.

The acoustic was a waste of money. Noise cancelling headsets with a boom microphone would outperform all of those.

The real problem (aside from the space) is the air quality. There's just no going around needing to put a duct/return to the room.
