One terrifying prospect of this idea of using molecular machinery to produce any protein is we could inadvertently fuck up and end up producing prions. Not that it's not a super cool idea worth exploring, but still, this stuff is mind-blowingly complex and we surely have a LOT to learn.
Maybe because they’re unproductive, bring no value and generally a team drain because every special snowflake feels like their specific vision is the readable one?

IMO the intuition is to not use any intuition at all: there aren't built-in booleans in C, true is a #define for 1 and false is a #define for 0. For C conditionals, 0 = false, nonzero = true. So

a+b != 0 <=> a!=0 or b!=0

a*b != 0 <=> a!=0 and b!=0

Of course this intuition also reveals the pitfall behind this correspondence! You'd better make sure those are unsigned ints or #defined booleans, so you're not using general C expressions. 1 || -1 is true but 1 + (-1) is false.

Edit: forgot to mention: INT_MAX || 1 is true, but what about INT_MAX + 1 :)

Eh you’re never going to experience the high like you get from ecstasy. Not from sex, not from achievements, not even the birth of your child. It’s unattainable through the normal course of life. I agree humans would have a better life if they never did drugs but at the same time you are definitely missing out on unique experiences.
So we should call those shots snapshots when made on a phone. Well, the only thing you need to know when shooting with dslrs is to move the dial to Auto/P. If you want to play with DOF, move it to Av. If you want to shoot the dog, move it to Tv and 1/500. If you want to shoot an airshow move it to 1/1200 or higher. Is that too much? :D
why is the salary not listed in this posting then?

They missed their launch date due to Apple Review.

That does not scream "they have the experience they need".

While they may not listen, they absolutely need to hear the advice to submit earlier.

... what does "enthusiastic" mean here? Enthusiastic support? There was plenty of opposition.
End-to-end encryption is where the client device encrypts the message and then the other end's client device decrypts the message. It doesn't matter how many servers it goes through, none of them can read it, that's the entire point of end-to-end encryption.

The hard part is associating some identity with the user's keys, but when the ID is your phone number or email address, the entity doing that is inherently your phone company or email provider. You can standardize a way to do that, i.e. to sign up you get an SMS or email with a code and have to enter the code. The client can automate that if it has access to read your SMS or email, or otherwise you enter it manually.
No BBedit in the comparison list?
All of these are solved or solvable problems and aren’t impediments in practice.

For comparison: a single unguided artillery shell costs $5,000. A guided shell starts at around $20K and fancy long-range versions can exceed $100K. It takes on average 2-15 shells per kill.

If you had a > $100K budget “per attack” and were making drones in large volume production, then you can easily beat the costs of traditional weapons.

Drones are cheap and can deliver their payloads with incredible precision. Not “150 foot radius accuracy”, but “aim of the left foot of the soldier” accuracy.

It’s a whole new ball game.

Yeah, | is technically x + y + x*y over GF(2) (this is the Boolean ring to Boolean algebra relation [1]). The GP is still a good way to remember the precedence though.

Buy any compact camera with a 30x optical zoom and it will take better pictures than a smartphone. Maybe not all of them, but you can zoom on details from a distance, take pictures of animals that would flee if you try to get close, etc. The last one I bought about 10 years ago was about 300 Euro, maybe 200. It has wifi to backup pictures to my phone.
Yeah, low cost TGVs are a hassle.

> This is the core mistake, I believe, to assume that causation implies meaning, instead of causation just being a logical correlation, and meaning being a construction of the human mind.

I agree with you. If anything, saying everything having a reason seem to me like applying human interpretation to Determinism.
> 1+1=1?

True + True = True, because "true" means "not zero" and "false" means "zero". In most all languages that permit int->bool casting, if(2) will evaluate to "true".

The warnings clang and FCC generate are a style warning because it's unclear on casual reading. Even readers who know the precedence rules will typically want to insert the parentheses manually. If the meaning were undefined, the compiler would give an error, not a warning.
I read a book long ago called Sperm Wars. It’s almost pornographic in style but every chapter describing the biology of sperm and sex is preceded with a fictional narrative of some courting ritual.

Really blew my mind at the time at how complex and interconnected the behavior of sperm and egg are with general human behaviors via hormone communication.
0x8000 && 2 != 0x8000 * 2

Tangent on CollapseOS/DuskOS because this is the first time I've encountered this and it is very much up by alley:

Being that it is for a post-Collapse world would be nice to see it ported to run on RISC-V (not trolling) because RISC-V is already the subject of "Computer Organization and Design RISC-V Edition" and very well documented, but also going to be increasing the architecture with the most resources through student, assignments, etc, but also to salvage from existing electronics.

Thought the author's timeline is 2030, which is a bit too soon for that, but by 2040 I think my argument holds.
Mental illness is on the rise
Garmin makes no claim that their watch can reply to texts when paired to iPhone. "Text reply" is in the list of features, but clearly marked "Android only". It's not even fine print or anything:

https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/854515#specs
(...keeeeeep scrolling, or page search "android")

It's been that way since the first Pebbles: your non-Apple watch will not be replying to texts when paired to an iPhone.
If issued ISOs that are QSBS qualified, no federal tax on the first $10M or 10x your cost basis, whichever is more. 83(b) election is sometimes an option too. RSUs are, as you mentioned, mostly cash comp due to valuation and tax treatment.

(not tax advice, we're just talking lottery ticket mechanics)
Yeah that's a very Swiss thing. People get upset when trains are more than 1-2 minutes late. It's so reliable even a delay of < 5 minutes is important to people. Not to mention, transfers sometimes are < 5 minutes long, so a train being 1-2 minutes late means you might miss a timed transfer.
It would just be for very long flights. 45 minutes from New York to New Zealand instead of 17hr. That is a big difference. Plus you get to go into orbit (or close to it) for an amazing view/ride. You would have a huge number of people per year at $5-10k per ticket.
The closest easily available Unix is FreeBSD or NetBSD from a heritage point of view. In fact, both have a direct line back to the original Berkeley Systems Distribution, which itself is derived from Unix version 5.
I read the Wikipedia article on this and it seems to suggest meditation can lead miracles like telekinesis:

"Hearing this, I mentally repeated the mantra, I noticed that my breathing was getting heavier. Suddenly, I felt a great impact of a rising force within me. The intensity of this rising kundalini force was so tremendous that my body lifted up a little and fell flat into the aisle; my eyeglasses flew off. As I lay there with my eyes closed, I could see a continuous fountain of dazzling white lights erupting within me"

Although I respect meditation and the religious beliefs of all, I don't believe any of this is possible. I don't know if an afterlife exists, but find it telling that nothing paranormal has ever been recorded in a verifiable manner.
> entirely independently did you?

And you? Your past comments show you are religious and as such there is no point of replying with much else than this.
Also, most importantly, a free country.
But this build is not only equivalent to an M3 MacBook - it’s probably 2+x as powerful when it comes to CPU and GPU. There are cheaper ways to build an equivalent machine.
I think this is not a fair comparison.

1. a 750w Corsair PSU is ~$100

2. CPU cooler should be $30. A Thermalright cooler is way more than enough to keep at full boost speeds.

3. case is ~$50, its just a box

4. Windows is not the platform of choice for GPU/LLM work

Easy $400 savings. I would also also buy a B660 motherboard as X series motherboards only really offer overclocking options, and modern CPUs do not overclock anymore. $190 at newegg: https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-b650-gaming-x-ax/p/N82E16813...
> they ruled that all the factors I cited made Google a co-employer.

They did do that! But the specific thing that started this conversation was not a factor NLRB cited. It was "de facto members of the team: do the same work on the same days".

You're focusing so much on the end result that you're ignoring which claim Manuel_D asked for evidence of. Even if he's super wrong on the legal analysis, he asked for evidence of something, and it's something quite relevant, and there has not been a good citation for it. Even if the factors NLRB cited are enough to declare Google a co-employer, it's still valid to want evidence of what was actually claimed upthread.
Isn’t that option built into MacOS now? Since Ventura I think.
I expected the answer to be that pikchr came first, but plantuml was 2009 according to Wikipedia and pikchr appears to be 2020 https://pikchr.org/home/info/d06dd0ebe7dae623

I'm personally excited to discover pikchr because I periodically need to produce box&arrow style diagrams and everything else from the author has been solid and easy to hack on.
My question is, why is every integrated adc/dac in almost every commercial microcontroller stagnant at 12 bit resolution? It's been that way for decades now. Is 16 bit that difficult?
Maybe? I like to think that the people affected are paying more attention than others, and aren't stupid. They'd know that "Boeing seeks safety exemption for MAX 7 anti-ice system" means "Boeing wants FAA to exempt MAX 7 from safety rules".

1000 cycles is when it’s expected to drop to ~80% of original capacity. Still plenty of use left after that.
I must've misread the last part of the post. My bad.
A. I was using the DuckDB CLI and kept hitting walls on analyses. Had a shower thought of “I wonder if anyone has used Textual for a DuckDB client” and decided to build one myself.
B. This uses Textual, a python framework for TUIs. Python is my language of choice.
C. Hoping for more db adapters soon. Canceling queries is a missing piece I have yet to figure out
E. Maybe if you don’t use Python apps and do have another sql client you really like.
It’s bizarre that consumers collectively agree to these terms. If I started a business that was this anti-customer, I would assume there would be zero customers willing to take that deal.

Moreover, why hasn’t anyone introduced a brand that doesn’t have all these awful features?
On top of that, something I still haven't looked into the details on: when you import RAW+JPG photos, the "original" can be set to either one. You can import and make some edits without realizing which is being used unless you go through the menus. So my freshly imported pic could be 5MB or 50MB despite just being a single thumbnail in the library.
It still costs money and corporations are expected to produce a profit by their shareholders
I grew up using Windows and switched to Linux in my late teens. I've hopped back and forth for personal desktop while servers have always been Linux too.

I honestly use the windows key 1000 times a day and I don't understand comments in here saying they don't.

So many keyboard shortcuts. Plus it opens the task and search to launch programs.

I'm pretty keyboard heavy, I can go hours sometimes without touching the mouse.
That's the billion dollar question. These are all research models, the point was to see what happens when you keep training a smaller model.

My best guess (and if I had a concrete answer I'd be out building it) is that, absent a breakthrough, smaller models will be mostly for downstream tasks, like classifiers, that aren't generative. Or fine tuned for specialized generative models that only know one domain. I don't know how well this works for real use cases, but certainly way smaller models generate Shakespeare-like text for example, I don't actually know why you'd do that though.
You have one of the few Qt-based apps that looks and feels like it belongs on macOS. Really well done.

Call you state representative and ask them to. Legislation is iterative.
oh, you think you've found a contradiction. Fun.

I never said they were "innovating." And it's funny how you all concentrate on USB and avoid AppleTalk. Or the Newton, which came about because Sculley stabbed their own alumni in the back. Or the "apple online network" (early 90's) which I can't even find the name of now.

Or, for that matter, FireWire, which found almost no lasting traction in the Windows world.

And of course you all decline to talk about their failure to make any contribution to the IETF. Or threatening to sue Microsoft over Windows.

> It doesn't break any DRM. If the game has a protection that doesn't let you use a custom steam api dll it needs to be cracked before you use my emulator. Steam is a DRM as much as any API is a DRM. Steam has actual DRM called steamstub which can easily be cracked but this won't crack it for you.

That being said looks like steam themselves don't consider their DRM to be very useful

Yeah, if you ignore many of the benefits the Macbook provides, it is "overpriced" compared to a homebuilt PC.

On the other hand, if I consider the benefits you excluded of the Macbook, your $1000 PC is literally worth $0 to me. And by that measure, the Macbook is worth infinitely more than your PC.
>I can think of many other companies and rich owners who have done much worse things

Me too. He's still a trash fire of a human being on a moral level. The businesses that he runs aren't anything that I see as valuable contributions to society, of them SpaceX, the least bad, is still a trash fire of malfeasance that's doing harm to ground based astronomy and also allows Musk to interfere in world politics, as he did when he defended Russia by blocking StarLink access to Ukraine's offensives.

>is your main evidence of him being awful is that advertiseres pulled out of the platform?

I picked a particular instance of his regular expressions of bigotry since it's clear by the ramifications just how serious it was, but it's only one of a number of past racist and antisemitic episodes, I could have gone with his work to platform the worst of the far right on Twitter, many racist incidents at Tesla, his various sex abuse cases, his infantile labeling of a cave diving hero as a "pedophile" (while Musk himself deliberately chose to reinstate a Twitter account banned for posting child porn), I could have gone with his vindictive firing of employees who criticize him at his various companies, or his promoting "pizzagate" and other far-right extremism, his regular deception of investors at Tesla, and any number of his many other moral failings. The guy is a narcissistic sociopath who has made a long string of ethically dubious choices from the start to make his money with PayPal. He's a complete moral failure and always has been, this is why he's as successful as he is - he is clearly very comfortable transgressing moral boundaries that normal people are not.

>Will you retract your hatred if they all return?

I don't hate Musk, I mostly pity him, he's an absolute garbage fire of moral failure and knows it, it must be horrible. He spends a lot of time excusing himself and no time making amends and I see a pathetic, lonely, unhappy person incapable of establishing any healthy relationships with others.
Sure, they might have guessed the scale or ramp-up wrong, I would still argue there is quite a few more launches now happening than there would be without Space X jump-starting the whole thing.

Still, not being fully dependent on that certainly helps. :)
I have spent more time than I would like to admit trying to get 3B-34B models working for "serious" usecases like RAG, code comprehension/generation and text summarization, across dozens of "leading" free LLMs, and none of them (not even Mixtral MoE or its derivatives) come close to gpt-3.5-turbo for consistency and depth, and there is no equal for gpt-4(-turbo).

LLM Leaderboards and benchmarks do not show the complete picture for YOUR specific usecase.
I’d say this is the case in all large organizations — and only natural.

You bring in people to shape a certain area and equip them with resources. Their incentives are towards this one focus area (+ personal career goals). It is easier and more comfortable to work in a silo. People tend to form groups with insiders and outsiders. All of this (and probably some more) creates a drive for fiefdoms.

There’s only a few leaders who are capable of breaking the fiefdom cycle at the very top. And it takes continuous work to maintain that spirit.
Captured Greece has a habit of seizing its wild captors, I've read.
For common diagrams, you probably should. I've used Pikchr, and if you want/need to place a lot of things manually or otherwise have a larger degree of control, then it fills that niche OK, I guess. But for whipping up a flowchart or sequence diagram, I find Mermaid or other tools with higher-level abstractions much quicker and simpler.

The big use case is if you need to use Fossil, which only supports Pikchr for inline diagrams. That's a shame IMO, and I would love Mermaid support.

Pascal also uses the same operators for bitwise and logical and and or and they’re simply and and or.
My understanding from historians is that, whether or not the goal was right, it may have been an impossible situation.

Wars are politics and end only with a stable political settlement; without that, they can go on indefinitely - such as in Afghanistan recently.

Like Afghanistan, there was nobody in Vietnam that could run the country, politically, except the North Vietnamese. All the US could do was build someone else's capability, which wasn't working (in Vietname or Afghanistan) or fight indefinitely.
