To me that just condemns a lot of social media stuff too, instead of absolving ads. By now people are so used to it being done to them, they do it to each other. Where "it" is being bombarded with sophistry and stuff that sounds/feels good, but means nothing or is flat out wrong if you take a second to actually parse it. That is the saddest part for me, that people become their own abusers and celebrate it, like drug addicts, hissing at anyone who would dream of spoiling the party. To steal from George Carlin, if a modicum of thought were introduced into all that parroting and back patting, it would completely collapse.

> weighs about 40 kg per meter

For reference, a human child weighs about 15 kg per meter. But since humans grow in 3 dimensions, a healthy adult human will be around 40–45 kg per meter, similar to the cable. In our current overweight society, realistic adult humans are of course heavier.
The weasel word in the title is undamaged. But the story is actually about QR codes being damaged. The original image isn't damaged, but its impression is damaged in transit while being scanned. QR codes crammed with more information (such as more error correction) have smaller pixels for the same view angle, and those are more easily damaged during the scan. An undamaged QR code with large pixels (low information) might scan perfectly without any error correction at all, but as the information density increases, so does the potential for error (error not caused by damage in the QR code being scanned).

If we make a QR code so dense that the scanner cannot make out any of the pixels, it becomes completely unreliable, even if 80% of it is error correction bits.

Basically, error correction defends against processes that cause random erasure or flipping of bits. Error correction is not meant to defend against fundamental channel bandwidth problems.

I didn't see any analysis of network building as an alternative to M3s. For my project, ~40 million lines, past a certain minimum threshold, it doesn't matter how fast my machine is, it can't compete with the network build our infra-team makes.

So sure, an M3 might make my build 30% faster than my M1 build, but the network build is 15x faster. Is it possible instead of giving the developers M3s they should have invested in some kind of network build?
If you are looking for a simple solution for inbox zero for gmail - quickly classify emails as archive, follow-up, read through, take a look at my hacky attempt.

https://github.com/google/cpp-from-the-sky-down/blob/master/...

It is inspired by vim. It downloads all the email snippets and sorts them in descending order by sender and date.

Then you use “j”, “k” to navigate through the emails. You can press “a” for archive, “f” for follow up, and “r” for read through. You can also press “p” to navigate to next email prefix (the stuff before the @) and “d” to navigate to the next domain. Like vim you can combine keystrokes. “ad” will archive all the emails from the present position to the next domain. Since these are sorted by reverse date, often you can look at recent dates and archive the rest.

All operations happen in memory so they are instantaneous. You the press “w” to actually move the messages on the server as a batch operation.

It is really useful if you are getting started or are falling behind and need to quickly classify a few thousand emails.

It is a single 500 line Rust program so you can hack on it to change it to how you like it.

Personally it never even occurred to me that the "sign up" button would show pricing - in fact it wasn't even apparent that this was a paid product. Usually services have a separate "pricing" link somewhere at the top that explain things.

I pretty much never click on "sign up" buttons unless i have already been convinced the service is something i want to sign up for.

Do you also use nltk to extract keyterm then? I was looking at Qdrant labels and thinking about how vectors could be labeled with location metadata but also perhaps with named entity information from the chunk.

I imagine it how I might flip though a book using the index and also table of contents and then perhaps skim the intro paragraphs etc. Eventually the RAG systems need to replicate a more sophisticated human like retrieval of relevant information.

This is probably a symptom of my severe boredom, but I tried to find the tweeted testimonials on Twitter, and it seems quite a few of the testimonials do not correspond to real tweets.

The testimonials by "@james", "@yoni", "@ktyr" are pretty obviously not real just from their implausibly short Twitter handles. The actual Twitter handles have different profile pics that simply don't match the ones displayed on the landing page. For example @ktyr is not an Indian male but an Asian girl who hasn't tweeted since 2012.

@prem_saini1 also is not the same person.

@emarky is the same person, but he doesn't seem to have tweeted the testimonial.

As I said, I'm just really bored :)

> free of commercials

This isn't "not disrupted by ads". This means no ads. Free of commercials, not limited commercials.

Ad-free means ad-free. No mustard means no mustard not just no grey poupon. Not a hard concept to understand.

And once again, cable had interruptive ads since the first cable was connected to the first subscriber. So even scoped to just pre-roll ads you're still denying highly documented history.

National cable networks were making many millions in ad revenues the first few years into their existence. This means they ran ads. Aka, not free of commercials.

The only way the above makes sense is to add a ton of qualifiers. "The whole point of a few premium channels on some cable networks 20 years into cable's history was limited to no advertising." Cable's original point was by no means "freedom from ads."

And even this statement of "Streaming was supposed to be free of commercials" just ignores the fact Hulu had ad-supported streaming in 2007, pretty early in the commercial OTT streaming industry growth. YouTube started having ads in 2008. But I guess if you've been doing enough drugs to think Netflix started it's streaming business in the 90s you'd see that as late. The rest of us in reality see that's still pretty early in the commercial streaming world.

stop denying reality.

In general, hobbyists will add the rule updates via a firewall whisper command override in fail2ban.

For example, shorewall/shorewall6 has rule set optimization for blrules (be warned single threaded Perl can take awhile for 300k IPs, and quick-boot rule-caching should be off during initial configuration).

I also use a crude ban-list generator script for certain persistently annoying country codes poking around, that currently imports a lot of iblocklist, spamhaus, known compromised IP posts on dodgy forums, and malformed whois records.

Yes it is rude to black-hole entire countries, but these same areas often tend to ruin the games with lagged connections and lame vulnerability/exfiltration scans.

You still can't deny: the church was wrong, directly referring to the effing "Holy Scripture" to support its claim.

The Earth was never the center around which the Sun rotated. Not in 1AD, not in 1600AD, not now.

If the church claimed that the "Holy Scripture" says that the Earth is in the center, the church was still wrong, and moreover, the "Holy Scripture" was wrong.

The church can't be right to claim "heresy" to somebody who was right then and is still right now.
$60k/yr is a poor comparison because even modern Solders get paid less than average at a base but get room and board + many benefits.

If you can figure out something useful to do during a two minute window, I envy you.

I really struggle with task switching, and two minutes is the danger zone. Just enough time to get distracted, by something else; too little time to start meaningful work on anything else...

Hour long compiles are okay, I plan them, and have something else to do while they are building.

30 second compiles are annoying, but don't affect my productivity much (except when doing minor tweaks to UI or copywriting).

2-10 minute compiles are the worst.

Awesome to hear of new people getting into PCBs! It's wonderful how accessible PCB design has become, and I think KiCad plays a major role in that. If you're the kind of person who can read to learn stuff, I highly recommend this old powerpoint presentation:

https://www.4pcb.com/media/presentation-how-to-build-pcb.pdf

It describes the manufacturing process in pretty good detail. The reason the design rules feel like such a wall is that these design rules are completely based upon the manufacturing processes themselves (thus different manufacturers will have different rules). As you go through that presentation, you'll probably have to search or ask about many of the terms you don't recognize, but that'll just help you learn even more! Next, check out the design rules for a popular fabricator. For example, here's one:

https://docs.oshpark.com/services/two-layer/

And they even include some helpful tips for setting up KiCad to work with their fab capabilities:

It matters in the sense that my 2015 Macbook Pro required multiple cables to unplug/replug in at my desk which seems like a small thing but significantly reduced the convenience factor for me.

Plus I can now dock either my Lenovo or my MacBook with the same multi-monitor dock making it even more versatile. I don't game or do anything more intensive than web development so I recognize it wouldn't work as well for everyone.
It’s funny how this bit of code was clearly written by systems engineers. Tools 0-5, bitmaps, etc. If this was another team you could have unlimited tools, IDs would be UUIDs, and freeing a tool ID would take care of all your loose ends like still registered callbacks.
I'm not the OP, but I would only trust an app like this if it didn't require any external services whatsoever. If every component can be self hosted + they add support for a local maildir or maybe IMAP, then it would be fun to try self hosting an instance of this app, but without that I wouldn't have any interest.
I have seen perfect 6-pointed snowflakes that were 1-2cm diameter many years ago. I was crossing a remote mountain pass in the Sawtooth Mountains of Idaho in September when the temperature dropped precipitously and it started snowing heavily, which was very unexpected at the time. In this case though, the snowflakes were stunning, almost the platonic ideal of a 6-pointed snowflake at huge sizes. We actually pulled over to watch it, it was pure magic.

I have never seen anything like it before or since. I didn’t think snowflakes like that were a thing that could actually exist, despite being depicted that way. I’ve seen a lot of snow in many locales but to this day it was a singular experience.

Since I have never seen that type of snow anywhere else, I have to wonder how much the extremely anomalous conditions that caused the snow storm contributed to the exceptionally rare form of the snowflakes.

The kind that runs locally, or that is run by my trusted (by me, by my employer, ...) email provider. Email is just too valuable to be exposing to extra third parties.

Phones have made this more inconvenient because it's hard to make 'the app that runs locally' run whenever 'the app that views my email is running'. That means running locally is a big constraint on the UX, for example it probably can't reliably sort emails before my phone picks them up. It's simply the case however that UXes that don't work with local apps aren't viable products to sell to me.

I seriously question how they believe this, because it doesn't help bring things into public domain when all the training data itself is copyrighted and possibly pulled from trademarked brands. Which is a problem public facing offerings from OpenAI, Google, and Facebook refuse to solve both due to legacy baggage, complexity, and the potential lost profits. Unless you can absolutely 100% prove that all training data was captured and input by yourself at every stage courts will not entertain the idea. If anything this hurts smaller artists or groups while helping larger corporations and organizations because only the large corporations will have the resources to gather that unique wholly-owned training data. The article and comments section also don't seem to understand that corporations will and do use such tools to find the very legal edge in order to consolidate power even more than they already have.

There's the first part of that consolidation that if a tool can easily reproduce signature elements it makes it harder to defend against copyright and trademark infringement in court because the copyright and trademark can be diluted. That is a double-edged sword, but the sword is swinging in your direction and not the corporation's. The public will work faster than the court ever can to dilute that copyright or trademark as shown with things like memes using copyrighted images, meaning by the time the case is actually heard it might already be lost. A corporation will always have the resources to disseminate things better than an individual can, allowing them to dilute the copyright or trademark quickly so they can profit off of their own widely distributed derivative version that they can copyright and trademark. An infamous example is the 1960s Loufrani smiley face, where the public diluted the copyright and trademark enough that Wal-Mart attempted to associate it with their brand and trademark it. Wal-Mart only barely lost that court case to Franklin Loufrani.

The second part of that consolidation is that it's enabling the eradication of an entire line of work and removing even more financial power from individuals. By using AI that's abusing copyright to fight corporations abusing copyright you're removing an entire group of thumbnail, insert, layout, and title artists that are already being hurt by corporations and are already extremely versed in getting around the broken copyright laws. Those who use AI keep said artists from being involved and paid, making it harder to influence industry standards and for everyone else driving up the cost of getting the work done while reducing the income of the people hired to do the work. You cannot compete with free and lightning fast.
