Spatial Shell 6th Release Might Be the Charm
Who would actually want to buy a micro startup, especially without revenue?
Congrats on releasing this. Having played through and reached the target word, my suggestion would be to try to find a way to lower the difficulty for new players. With Wordle as a new player you can just type in words make some progress and then work out more advanced strategies later on. With Spindle for me it felt frustratingly hard and not much fun at times I'm afraid.

After checking back here a few times I eventually got that I could only spin valid words but they were hard to find so I ended up relying heavily on 2 letter words to reach my final score of 35. Assuming that you support valid Scrabble 2 letter words https://scrabblewordfinder.org/two-letter-scrabble-words you end up spinning words that sound like gibberish most of the time so it seems a bit arbitrary when you can't spin titles like Mr or Ms. :P. Perhaps allow a few free spins to help people unblock the board? Or allow people to skip past problem letters every now and then so that they can spin longer words?

All the best with further development!
I can't follow. If you'd disregard the size of the decompressor, you could encode as much data as you want in there, e.g. just assign a number to each article and include the corresponding text in the decompressor, or assign a number to each sentence occuring in Wikipedia, just dump the 1GB of data in there verbatim, etc...

That would make the size of the compressed file meaningless.

Disregarding the time complexity of the compression is interesting, even ignoring the space complexity during compression or the size of the compressor.

But the size of the decompressor can't be ignored when trying to "measure" Kolgomorov complexity of the source data.

> I think you can consider your input part of the problem statement

That would be fine if there was only one input. But we have seen countless cases of a solution working for some and not others (including/especially the test input). So the cases and patterns I see in my input may be part of the hidden problem statement, or they may be just an artifact of my particular input. I at least feel more satisfied when I know my solution will solve all inputs.

For that reason, I side with the desire for a bit more purity and closure, vs having to guess, and not being sure about your guess until you go to reddit. Making educated guesses about patterns is a valuable ability, but I don't

I see the author here made a common copyright notice mistake.

Us developers as a group seem to hold the belief that updating the copyright dates manually is bad or wrong.

But AIUI, the copyright should be more than a simple "today.getYear()" call. If you first published the page in 2020, then the copyright should reflect that.

If instead, when we delete the 2020 and auto update it to _currentYear_ dynamically, we have removed the claim to have published it earlier. So if there is a copyright issue where another site copied some content but left the copyright year as say 2021, now from a first glance it would have the more senior copyright claim.

What you would want is something that generates a copyright notice like "Copyright 2020-2023". See here for more examples: https://www.websitepolicies.com/blog/copyright-notice
Fair enough. Myself on the other hand, I want the LLM to think when I tell it to think (by pressing the completion keystroke) and I want to be able to supervise it while it's thinking, and edit out any generated prompt content I dislike. The emacs-copilot project design lets me do that. While it might not be great for VSCode users, I think what I've done is a very appropriate adaptation of Microsoft's ideas that makes it a culture fit for the GNU Emacs crowd, because Emacs users like to be in control.
Can you expand on this a bit, or recommend an article that does?
I completely agree, but it sure does help to listen to everybody. I always joke that I am a complaint sponge that just absorbs every little nit pick and bother anyone has with a product. Listening is the cheapest and easiest thing I can do to make someone feel better about whatever it is I end up having to do. An overwhelming amount of the time I am unable to fulfill a request because the backlog is filled to the gills with other requests. Listening to people, asking clarifying questions, and digging into their issue and how they feel about it almost always makes them feel better. Don't retread ground that has already been covered, but I have a much better time telling them their idea may not be implemented for a long time after taking thoughtful time with them to make them feel heard. I also try to disappoint upfront. No use telling them the idea is in the backlog if they have heard that 1000 times only to have the ticket sit there for years.

At worst you learn a little more what someone thinks while getting them to talk and complain, an act most people find comfort it. At best you get incredibly useful empathy on a nagging issue that can benefit others. So yes, people usually have no idea what they want, but good luck telling people that. It's the PMs job to get everybody on board for the vision of a thing and how it addresses the problems behind the problems otherwise a perfect implementation of something a customer did not feel heard on will land quite different that something that they did. My two cents for what it is worth.
I'm trying to spin CAT as in the example. I press C, A and then it just blinks red before I get to T. I don't get how to play this.

It’s unclear what you’re asking. Do you want investment strategies, or are you asking about living on $360k? (Which would be very comfortable anywhere in the US)
With ITER (and tokomaks more generally), the original assumption was that scaling laws would enable you to reach breakeven just by making the thing big enough. The problem is that "big enough" means throwing $25B at it, and when that's spread across a committee of a dozen countries, that's not a recipe for getting anything done quickly.

With quantum error correction, we're not talking a $25B facility with many competing hands in the pie. Instead, we're talking about improving the spatial and timing precision of RF, optics, and photonic hardware. Unlike fusion, where basically everything needs to be a custom job, there are established industries around these quantum-adjacent technologies with decades of accumulated know-how and plenty of low-hanging fruit to get most of, if not all of the way there.
1. Because beliefs around WFH have changed.
2. Investors aren’t thinking about tactical stuff like office amenities, free lunches and WFH.

None of it makes a dent on the valuation in the way that better focus and execution do, and investors expect the managers to set up the culture to do that without having to make a determination about the specifics of WFH in Amazons particular circumstances.

That is exactly what Amazon thinks it’s doing. Yes, costs are getting cut, but by far the more significant impact would be 5 or 10% better execution on stuff that really moves the needle than a 2% cost reduction.

When margins are high the returns to growing revenue are much greater than cutting costs.

https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/blob/master/examples/...

The call takes a "stream" boolean:
stream: It allows receiving each predicted token in real-time instead of waiting for the completion to finish. To enable this, set to true.

And the response includes:
stop: Boolean for use with stream to check whether the generation has stopped (Note: This is not related to stopping words array stop from input options)

Certainly the local web interface has a stop button, and I'm pretty sure that one did work.

But maybe I'm misunderstanding the challenge here?

On the SaaS side, yeah I think that's a good move.

In this case there's a large hardware component of the sale which incentivises the software over-promising. There's also a lot of competition (think a tender process).

It's really about shifting the small decisions, removing that marginal "yes, we can do that" which didn't need to be there at all for the sale to close.
My only gripe with these quick answers or excerpts is sometimes it doesn’t fully give the context. After it’s given me couple wrong results I stop trusting it and always read the source. If I were to read the source might as well click into the website and read the whole thing.
As someone who used the X220 for quite a long time I can agree.

- The chassis has a bunch of weak points so build quality is not overall excellent and that shows after some time. Especially bad is that part above the screen where the antennas are mounted inside. It's made out of plastic and is only flimsily connected to the magnesium back panel at either side, if it breaks you have to replace that whole back panel.

- That Sandy Bridge CPU turned out to be an exceptionally future proof choice but after >10 years it shows its age. Even if it's fast enough for your use case, modern CPUs are just much more power efficient.

- USB 2.0 only, except on the i7 motherboard, not the most popular configuration so harder to source for a good price. Alternatively an express card can be used but did not have that good of an experience with those, also the mounting mechanism on the X220 is not sturdy enough.

- Good luck finding a proper battery pack nowadays. Even if you still find an original one, after years in storage they tend to loose capacity quite fast. Most third party ones are garbage from day one.

Afair the rules about minimum temperatures that got loosened are all about requiring the landlord to provide sufficient heating that the home is livable (it must be possible to heat the home to 20°C during the day and 18°C at night with the provided heating). The tenant is only required to not damage the apartment by letting mold grow or pipes freeze.
I will give a list of reasons for why this might not be the case:

1) Specialized skills often do not necessarily equate with high-pay. For example, a school social worker specializing in a specific disability, or a laboratory glassblower (makes custom instruments for chemistry and physics labs) are almost irreplaceable, but only command slightly higher pay (if at all)

2) Many sectors (such as non-profit) do not have high pay

3) Many people don't have savings for other reasons (e.g. recent immigrant from a low-income country, recent divorce, major medical issue, graduate still paying off school debt, etc.)

Etc.

I thought about providing more background about my specific situation, but I prefer to remain anonymous. As a footnote, if you have a 1-2 year F-U fund, being laid off (or quitting) and being unemployed that long means your life savings are gone.

That's not good.

Until and unless my fund is enough to retire on, I would still rather work than not work, even if that's writing documentation, handling IT tickets, or debugging someone else's code.

Peanuts are quite unique in many respects. They peg the soil after flowing above ground. The peg shoots down into the soil and forms the peanut.

They are nitrogen fixing like most legumes. There are small nodules their roots that harbor nitrogen producing organisms.

A few people in my community garden have grown a few smaller plants. I prefer planting snow peas early to give my summer plants a nitrogen boost.
Pretty much the same for me. I have 4 X220s (one i7) all sitting lid closed in a custom rack that I built for them. Two are running Debian, one is running Fedora, and one is running FreeBSD. All four run Plex Media Server. I use them for backups and testing/experimentation on various things.
You know this, but being explicit helps the casual reader:

The "elimination" in "tail call elimination" refers to the "elimination" of the call frame.

In languages like C each call pushes a frame to the call stack. When the called procedure is done, execution returns to the site of the call. In a tail call there is no work to done, so the frame is now removed and execution continues where the previous frame points. But ... if we simply never omit the call frame, then executation then exectuation automatically returns to the parent frame.

The spec talks about allowing an "unbounded number of active tail calls".
In an implementation with frames, it means tail calls can't just keep pushing frames.

Seen in isolation "tail call elimination" doesn't seem like a big deal, but combined with "real macros" (structural, scope-respecting macros) it is possible to implement control structures as a user without worrying about stack overflow.

You mean two different regex engines for the same search? That is perhaps conceptually fine, but in practice any two regex engines are likely to have differences that will make that strategy fall apart in some cases. (Perhaps unless those regex engines rigorously stick to a spec like POSIX or ecmascript. But that's not the case here. IIRC Hyperscan meticulously matches the behavior of a subset of PCRE2, but ripgrep's default engine is not PCRE2.)

You could perhaps work around this by only applying it as an optimization when you know the pattern has identical semantics in both regex engines. But you would have to do the work to characterize them.

I would rather just make the regex crate faster. If you look at the rebar benchmarks, it's not that far behind and is sometimes even faster. The case where Hyperscan really destroys everything else is for searches for many patterns.

Hyperscan has other logistical issues. It is a beast to build. And its pattern compilation times can be large (again, see rebar). Hyperscan itself only supports x86-64, so one would probably want to actually use Vectorscan (a fork of Hyperscan that supports additional architectures).

> then Apple laptops with Asahi Linux are probably the better choice.

Or.. well it might sounds crazy.. but perhaps a laptop that actually supports Linux? Even from mainstream OEMs like Lenovo/Deal?

Is Asahi Linux even usable at this stage? AFAIK:

- no GPU (?), definitely no Vulkan

- no 60Hz +

- no thunderbolt/USB 4

- no external displays

- no microphone

- much lower battery life

- very limited distro choice (of course masochists who are going to do this in the first place would probably use Arch anyway)

Also ARM on Linux? I mean it should work but I doubt whether it's the best choice for desktop usage at this point (plenty of GUI apps don't support it).
Why is a time limit needed?

And it doesn't matter if all of Wikipedia is embedded in the compressor — if you can reconstruct the original using only the decompressor and the compressed data, the process can be as expensive as you like.

That's the exciting part.

It's also a vague connection to what's exciting about LLMs, regarding the amount of information they can reproduce with comparatively small size of their weights. But since decompression must be lossless, it's unclear to me if this approach could really help here.

Edit: all of this is already addressed in the FAQ at http://prize.hutter1.net/

Especially the paragraph "Why lossless compression?" is interesting to read.
> I don’t see how it’s obvious people wanted a Segway.

I assume what bryanrasmussen means is: Any city-dweller will see electric scooters, electric unicycles, 'hoverboards' and e-bikes from time to time.

So the makers of the Segway were correct in identifying a demand for an urban transit option other than walking, bicycles, cars, mobility scooters and public transit. They were correct in making it electric, about the speed of a fast leisure cyclist, with a range a little above 10 miles, and operated from a standing position.

However, they were incorrect about the price and size. Segways were 10x too expensive (even ignoring inflation) and at 100lbs+ were too large and heavy to carry inside or on public transit.
