I understand that, but I don't agree that it makes sense to at all consider the "glory days" as indicative of the ceiling. As it isn't really relevant to discuss ceilings on quality in terms of exceptional circumstances.

Just like how the "glory days" of many nations or many companies are when they're unsustainably burning resources for a short time for the sole purpose of glory. To me quality implies sustainability.

Yes, this happens when you don't curate your feed and accept the default feed provided by the companies. For example I checked out some artists in Instagram (that I don't use regularly) and I observed that closing the artist page will redirect onto main page instead of closing the app and this main page is filled with "engaging" garbage I really should not have any interest in.

If you are not actively seeking for something then you will not find it. There still exits very unique content but it indeed is very often hidden in some closed Facebook forum that is not visible for search (e.g. googling). There is interesting content that does not surface by itself because it is not shared by masses but a lot of such content has also died when people have shut down their personal web pages or have lost access to them or the service they used has ceased to exist.

> “the routine affirmation of one’s beliefs as a precondition of making a living constitutes compelled speech and corrupts everyone who participates in the performance.”'

Very well said and it serves as a corollary to Goodhart's Law: "When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure."

By making people affirm some belief, that affirmation itself becomes a target and ceases to reflect that belief in the real world. Even those who would normally act on that belief eventually twist it into an empty performance because they're forced to by their less scrupulous peers, just to keep their jobs.

This is another decompilation project that hosts copyright infringing code in their github repo. Considering how common these projects do this it would be wise if someone were to create a project to help these projects not contain the decompiled code itself. What I would expect is that instead of code there is a decompiler, a symbol map, a way to add comments, and a way to fix up messy code. Then there is a build step to create this from the ROM. The project already handles extracting assets from the ROM instead of just including it in the github repo like the code.

I think you're dramatically underestimating the distances involved to the asteroid belt.

Beaming power over one to two astronomical units is something in between impractical and a death-ray superlaser. (And that's assuming Earth is exporting the energy, because the other way around makes even less sense--the asteroid belt only gets 10 to 20% as much light.)

> What you need is “verified” at a bare minimum, anything less is unacceptable.

Yes, most countries currently rely on centralized regulation and testing.

Well, you see, most OSes today aren't written in ASM. Their native libraries are C, so you have to interface with those libraries if you want to utilize them and their features.

You can certainly write your own TCP/IP stack with raw sockets and directly interface with the NIC, if you like. But at that point you're both reinventing the wheel and bypassing the entirety of the OS, you might as well just write a forum exokernel.

Most developers don't consider utilizing a library in another language as "cheating". Popular and core Rust, D, C++, Python, nodeJS, etc libraries do this all the time.
Israel controls its borders with Gaza, Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan. That's what a state does; it's what a state is supposed to do. I too don't like the fact that Israel limits Gaza's maritime access (though it's worth noting Hamas developed a surprisingly sophisticated Navy indicating some degree of control of its maritime access). Hamas has not tried to build an airport in Gaza, though Qatar has proposed one, and proposed managing it. I can surely understand why Israel wouldn't want that.

Gaza was reliant on Israel for water because Hamas not only didn't invest in infrastructure, but literally dug up water pipes to make rockets. Why the heck should Israel be responsible for providing Gaza with water, food, fuel, or electricity? Do you also believe Ukraine should provide this stuff to Russia?
Well, the MSFT investment is mostly in the form of cloud services spend/usage credits (vs. actual cash) which of course is one of the most important aspects (and massive expensive item) for OpenAI in developing and productizing their offering, given the nature of generative AI.

"Accident" doesn't only mean plane crash or dead people. According to ICAO Annex 13, it is also an accident when:

"the aircraft sustains damage or structural failure which:

- adversely affects the structural strength, performance or flight characteristics of the aircraft, and

- would normally require major repair or replacement of the affected component"

I mean, it’s not just implementation problems, these are trade offs. You can increase frequency but might need to reduce geographic coverage. You might increase geographic coverage by using more buses but might need to increase fares. You might be able to tweak things and improve efficency but you can only do so much, it’s not like the people planning this stuff are all incompetent.

There is one and only one way to improve every aspect of the bus system at once and that is to increase ridership by increasing density. There is a reason public transit downtown is so much better than public transit in rural areas. It’s not because city folk are smart megageniuses who know how to run a bus system.

P.S. there’s often ways for citizens to get involved with planning things like bus routes if you look into it… I knew one guy who did this.
Side topic, I understand "agency/agentic" means "taking matter at own hand" but I have problem understanding why. In principal-agent problem [1], an agent is someone acting on principal's behalf. Conflicts arise when the doer, the agent, has more influence to the result, which the result may not align with that of a principal. Shouldn't having more "agency" means acting on people's behalf on steroids? Why one would want to have more "agency" instead of "being your own principal"?

This saddens me greatly. In my opinion, Tachiyomi is a crown jewel amongst mobile applications — a lot of my friends have not switched to iOS because of it, which should tell you something. I would like to thank the creators and everyone else who worked on Tachiyomi and wish them good luck with whatever comes next for them.

> On the other hand, Lynch's Dune also has a great cast, great music, great sets, and it also has the all-important dream-like mystic feel to it, which is completely absent in the new adaptation.

Im glad someone else is happy to say it out loud: Lynch's Dune is art. I love the book and know some people are beyond sore at how Lynch's Dune isn't "faithful" to the letter of the text. The real faith is paid to the spirit of the work and I really appreciate we have it.

Villeneuve's is the best since, and there have been other attempts between.

I would have loved to see what Jodorowsky would have done because he was also a "spiritual" film maker. Both his likely approach and Lynch's do a great job at, judging from what I understand of the later books, bringing out the mystical aspect of the work that envelops everything but is hidden at the same time. The event to event happens in Dune can be explained in mundane ways: issues amongst the royal houses, trade disputes, natives, resource extraction -- Lynch's Dune uses what's practical to amplify the role of the supernatural.

I'd be just as interested in a spiritually skeptic Dune, where the mysticism is downplayed or revealed as all smoke and mirrors.

First sentence of the article (emphasis mine):

So it doesn’t look like a hosting service at all.

I guess that depends on your definition of “not work”. Seeing as the goal seems to make it open-source, self-hosted, and additive to other networks, success to them may be measured in niche numbers of very active users.

It’s certainly a possibility they won’t even launch, but that doesn’t seem to be what you’re suggesting.
Seems there are more limits on "Free speech" than I recall, these days, at least according to Florida's attorney general [1]..

“In a brief submitted by the State of Florida in support of Escambia, Attorney General Ashley Moody argued that the school board could ban books for any reason because the purpose of public school libraries is to "convey the government’s message," and that can be accomplished through "the removal of speech that the government disapproves."

You asked about working with a therapist. I’ve only ever opted for long term commitments - from one to years at a stretch. Many of the patterns that emerge now are well-worn over the course of your life; and that takes time to unearth in therapy.
Perhaps you lost a friend there, because he pushed for your opinion on a matter where you disagreed. Silence-is-violence-speak is meant to scare people to agree, and when they object, like you did, it is even more harmful.

Imagine two friends, with different opinions on a hot topic, leaving their opinions aside, not bringing it up, because they realize that it makes no difference. In the small world, in relations between people day to day, there is value in leaving politics out of interactions. This is fairly well established in the workplace, but I think it goes about social settings and friends too. If you push for someones opinion, be prepared to accept it as a legitimate opinion. Otherwise, don't ask for it.

yes, they are the 16GB models. beware that the memory bus limits you quite a bit. however, buying brand new, they are the best VRAM per dollar in the NVIDIA world as far as I could see.

I use 4-bit GPTQ quants. I use tensor parallelism (vLLM supports it natively) to split the model across two GPUs, leaving me with exactly zero free VRAM. there are many reasons behind this decision (some of which are explained in the blog):

- TheBloke's GPTQ quants only support 4-bit and 3-bit. since the quality difference between 3-bit and 4-bit tends to be large, I went with 4-bit. I did not test, but I wanted high accuracy for non-assistant tasks too, so I simply went with 4-bit.

- vLLM only supports GPTQ, AWQ, and SqueezeLM for quantization. vLLM was needed to serve multiple clients at a time and it's very fast (I want to use the same engine for multiple tasks, this smart assistant is only one use case). I get about 17 tokens/second, which isn't great, but very functional for my needs.

- I chose GPTQ over AWQ for reasons I discussed in the post, and don't know anything about SqueezeLM.
Not specifically related to this project, but I just started playing around with Faraday, and I'm surprised how well my 8GB 3070 does, with even the 20B models. Things are improving rapidly.
Generally with devices that are WiFi enabled but do not inherently need WiFi to do their main job there are a few possibilities.

• You do not have to configure WiFi to just use the device. It can do all the functions that type of device generally does, with a reasonable interface. You can configure WiFi to gain access to extra features, such as sending notifications or a friendlier interface.

• You have to configure WiFi to initially set up the device and/or to change some settings later, but it does not need to use WiFi during normal operation. WiFi can be used during normal operation for extra features.

• It needs WiFi during normal operation. Without WiFi you can only do at most a basic subset of normal operations.

For devices that do need WiFi it is worth distinguishing between devices that need to use the internet (directly or via an app on the local network) to function. There are devices that need WiFi because they use that to talk to a required app, but neither the device nor the app need internet.

This can be important when you have an internet outage. A device that requires WiFi but does not require internet can often continue to work when your internet is down as long as the outage is upstream from your home router.

For people whose reason for not wanting to configure WiFi is that they don't want the device sending their personal information to the device maker, it is not necessarily enough to just leave omit configuring WiFi. Allegedly some devices will look for open WiFi networks and use those if you don't explicitly configure a WiFi network.

As far as LG washing machines go I believe they fall under the first bullet item above.

Is an Australian.

Recent large security breaches in Australia have created an environment in which it might be possible to gain acceptance for such a scheme, under the guise of (as the article discusses) avoiding exposure of identification documents via lots of small organizations.

OTOH, the "My Health Record" scheme (a government-run centralized repository of healthcare records) met some pushback, and this might be of more direct concern, given it's core identity information.

No-one credits the government with IT competence (esp following the last census, screwups with the company director registry, etc), and combining that with examples of other such schemes being hacked could potentially create a lot of reluctance to sign up.

The scheme as described is voluntary, which might help it get approval. I imagine that while it will technically remain voluntary, over time it will become practically mandatory as various government and commercial services will become next-to-impossible to use without this identifier.

I'm totally with you. Watching the Villeneuve version and the hunter seeker scene, there was almost zero tension in the Villeneuve because you don't know what the probe can only see motion and you don't know it's slippery so the entire scene makes no sense.

Agree on the Gom Jabbar scene too. The Lynch one I got the torture. The Villeneuve one not so much.

Also, Yueh, he's just a random betrayer in the Villeneuve version where as he's supposed to be incorruptible, something that's never covered.

Certainly, the Villeneuve version benefits from CGI. It's nice, I've watched it 3~4 times, it's growing on me, and I'm looking forward to the 2nd half.

I generally don't trust IMDB or RT scores, but I agree with your assessment. They Shoot Pictures Don't They [1] has always been my go to for critically acclaimed movies. Neither Dune film makes it to their top 1000 of all time. The new Dune is #430 in the 21st century, which isn't spectacular, but it's ranked above some movies that I would consider quite good.

I'm a huge fan of Lynch and enjoy the original Dune for what it is, but there has been plenty of time for the critical assessment of it to settle, and it doesn't look good.
