That's a cute system.

Moving stuff around with controlled vibration is known. There's a cute trick where you drive a flat horizontal plate in three axes (X, Y, and rotate about Z). Sawtooth waveforms will move things around; the slow part of the sawtooth produces motion, and the fast part yanks the plate back to the starting point, breaking from static friction to weaker sliding friction. It's even possible, by using combinations of translation and rotation, to move multiple objects in different directions. The original research was funded by United Parcel Service. They wanted to take a table full of boxes, separate them, align them, and send them to a conveyor. Didn't work well enough, although someone did a chessboard demo where multiple pieces were moved around separately.

This is a similar idea, but at a finer scale.

That suggests doing this in the shoe, instead of in the floor. Different system. Disney might license that to Nike.

I can't see it for theme park customers. This system can make people fall down.

Performers, though...
All of the Yi 200K finetunes should support it, but you have to be careful because some degrade the base model's quite excellent long context performance more than others. The very strong Bagel 34B DPO model, for instance, basically doesn't work at long context.

Nous Capybara is a popular one. I personally use my own merge of many models, and you can look through the constituent models to see if any interest you: https://huggingface.co/brucethemoose/Yi-34B-200K-DARE-megame...

You can't really use llama.cpp for super long context btw, its just too slow and vram inefficient at the moment.
The bar has been raised. That's what happened.
I’m very comfortable with AI in general but not so much with Machine Lesrning. I understand transformers are a key piece of the puzzle that enables tools like LLMs but don’t know much about them.

Do you (or others) have good resources explaining what they are and how they work at a high level?
Pronunciation of Mathematicians' Names
The question we're discussing is about the attitudes of people of "the Jewish state", by which they clearly mean Israel. Almost half of the world's Jewish People are Americans, not Israelis. I think you'll get interesting answers about Palestine from Jewish Americans (I've sure learned a whole lot these past few months), but a casual reading of your comment suggests that those people have a responsibility to account for Israeli policy, and they don't. This is an extraordinarily common complaint about the Israeli/Palestine debate --- that charges of "antisemitism" are weaponized against those who criticize Israel --- and it seems that there may be a kernel of truth on both sides of that complaint.

I wrote a much more strident and knee-jerk response to this at first (I'm sorry about that, and I should have read through the whole comment instead of snagging at the first sentence), but that first sentence is quite a snag! It seemed to upset other people who replied, and I can't really blame them too much for that.
The blog post was actually published on the same day and a little after the iOS 17.4 beta was released.

This is a very odd coincidence, since the Mac change was released way back in September with version 17.0, which the blog post does mention.
Damn, I was hoping this was going to be a thread about the guy who tracked down the bug in that damn chip and fixed it with some binary patch even though the vendor was completely useless.
In many ways I agree with you. I'm not promoting any original sin.I'm simply responding the narrative that "Hamas started all this on October 7th, so as conclusion, all of what Israel is doing is justified."
I have an early 1970s electric can opener from my parents that was bought at JC Penney. Still works well. Also, a 1950s clock radio.
If the company itself was to buy its own stock based on non-public information, wouldn't that also be insider trading? The corporate entity itself is, like, the ultimate insider.

Activity trackers have to learn your behaviors, and that takes about a month.

Testing them for 1 night without having worn them for a month or two first is silly.
The one exception is probably if you want to screw bolts straight in without any kind of prep work (tapping) on the hole. Then accuracy matters, too much slop and your bolt won't hold or it will strip the material, too little and you may well end up snapping the bolt, especially a thin one.

Apropos machining pistons: the bigger issue with anything that needs a reliable 'Z' dimension on any kind of cutter like this (essentially a two-dimensional device) is that that third dimension is really only well specified at the point of focus. Outside of that it is more or less conical depending on the kind of cutter and the optics in case of a laser. Waterjet, plasma and laser all have different characteristics depending on what you cut with and in case of a laser the construction of the head and the kind of optics installed. Plasma also has work hardening effects that can not be ignored.

The only economical way to accurately cut large pieces of thick material is by using a heavy gantry mill or an EDM machine. Both will still be very costly and this sort of use is probably outside of the hobby arena anyway. If you need that kind of work piece I would suggest outsourcing it.
Elementor (drag and drop page builder for WordPress) handled this the correct way.

Their original plans included way too much in the basic teir that should have been behind a higher priced.

They realized it last year and switched up the plans to be more reasonable.

They gave you the choice of switching to the new plans and pricings, or keep the current price - but you wouldn't receive any new features.
This is tired circa 2015 head game stuff. It was decent groupthink back then but it’s always been a trash communication.
I am open to any discussion if any body would at least have any. I hope someone can may be even start a discussion here.
No, you're not a Boeing insider by sitting inside their plane; that's weapons-grade word semantic equivocation.
There's a whole other ball of problem wax with input plus datalist. The options don't appear again if one has been selected already; the user first has to clear the input and then the list appears. Also, the input can't be strictly limited to the options in the datalist; the user could type in whatever they want and it's still "valid" and fulfills any required attribute added to the tag.
"I have a worry about X that I can't justify in any way" isn't a good basis for forcing people into a decision that (as the GP mentions) has dozens of obvious, immediate, and measurable benefits in the other direction. The simplest explanation for why "leaders" are fighting for RTO is not that office work was, improbably, a perfect global maximum for productivity, innovation, esprit de corps, or whatever, but merely that office work is how things used to be done and a lot of people got used to it both organizationally and economically. From that perspective, I think the burden of proof is completely on those who are fighting for a return to status quo to argue why workers (and society at large!) should be willing to trade all of the obvious benefits of remote work for these supposed intangibles.
If we're talking US law, you are absolutely incorrect and making a false equivalence yourself. A murder victim is not a MVC victim.

Only the collision is 100% the driver's fault (in most states).

The death is up for debate. If you die because you weren't wearing a seatbelt/helmet, you were negligent, so fault is shared.

There is no law mandating everyone wear bulletproof vests. All states have seatbelt laws, and most have helmet laws.
Would be nice if there was a screenshot.

"3 squares away" is not entirely obvious though. The definition as it stands is mathematically unambiguous. Obviously, it's not how you teach the rule to a beginner, but that's irrelevant.
Although I don’t think this issue relates to the pi, but I agree, some people think pis will do anything and everything just because you managed to hack some components together, sure, it might works but it isn’t reliable, build a proper computer for that task and save yourself the trouble.
Definitely, officially published games on cassettes became valuable collectibles.
+1, Andrey is an amazing educator! I'd also recommend his https://youtu.be/kCc8FmEb1nY?si=mP0cQlQ4rcceL2uP and checking out his github repos. MinGPT, for example, implements a small gpt model that's compatible with HF API, whereas more modern nanoGPT shows how to use newer features such as flash attention. The quality of every video, every blog post is just so high.
In a way, this is _better_ than the C++ standard library, 'cause it's not missing fundamental operations like string::trim() and string::split().

Slightly clarified my comment via a parenthetical. "Non-public" in this context refers to information which would only be available to those with a fiduciary responsibility and/or a confidentiality obligation to the organization.

I was trying to avoid the use of "insider," because people tend to assume that means employees or directors, but that is not the case. Outside organizations who have, as an example, signed an NDA with the organization may learn of material non-public information, and trading on that could constitute insider trading.
This is going to be an uphill battle (international teacher's guide on comparing Japanese and British climates):

> "In the British case, even though the southernmost point of England lies some 300 miles north of the northernmost point of Japan, the Isles have significantly warmer winters, thanks to the Atlantic Ocean and its Gulf Stream, which carries warm equatorial water up the eastern seaboard of North America and thence eastward toward Ireland. This warmer water raises the temperature of westerly surface winds enough so that the Isles experience ample cold, winter rain but very little snow."

The article doesn't go into the basics of gyre formation in the ocean basins, which is driven by the Coriolis force and the global atmospheric circulation, but western intensification boundary currents (e.g. Gulf Stream) arise from that physical phenomena, and thus the Gulf Stream wouldn't be 'shut down' by large glacial meltwater releases, at most it would just be pushed south.

P.S. Land permafrost likely sequesters at least as much carbon as the deep ocean does during ice ages, and the whole 'oceanic conveyor belt' theory of how atmospheric CO2 drops during ice ages isn't as solid as some claim.
Yes it steers larger app publishers away from utilizing other app stores, which in turn makes those other app stores less enticing, making it harder for other app stores to survive.

The app publishers don't have to choose this new pricing. They can stay with the old pricing, if they stay exclusively on Apple's App Store.

The reason Apple wants fewer app stores is that if fewer third party app stores survive, then there are fewer app stores with questionable or lacking review processes out there hosting malicious apps.

Just to make the connection super explicit for completeness, having fewer avenues for malicious apps is a good thing for user privacy.

There are other better ways to do it, like controlling one app store that has only well reviewed apps, but it seems the EU with the DMA left Apple only this bad way.

Apple gets other benefits from controlling the App Store, beyond protecting user privacy, don't get me wrong. Money being one, but not in a greed sense, but more because mostly that money pays the costs of running the development program, which are huge costs involving many thousands of Apple engineering salaries, which in turn enables the app ecosystem that benefits everyone. Another benefit is they can minimize the appearance of bad user experiences on their platform, to protect their brand, which they have invested a lot in and care a lot about.
Well and they are small steppers, because I took apart a mini delta 3D printer to reuse them. It would be a good idea to upgrade the design to use the more commonly sized 3D printer steppers.

This is very cool, and something I’d like to integrate in my own apps. Does anybody know how this works exactly, not using foreign keys?
>Yes, if buyers think that far.

They absolutely do. It's hard not to, because migrating data is the very first thing you have to think about when switching services. It's also a prominent part of FAQs and service documentation.

>Yes, but that means those services do make a profit.

Of course. What I said is that not every single feature can be profitable on its own. Obviously it has to be beneficial in some indirect way.
I know.

They were just talking about the "efficiency of use of his labor" and I was just trying to point out how to maximize it.

A tube radio from roughly 1965 that I had repaired about two years ago. I don't use it often, and if I do, with a radio transmitter connected to my smartphone.
This looks really interesting. idegen was difficult to work with and would bake the entire aosp repo (hundred's of sub repos and modules) into a single Android Studio project. Debugging required extra setup and symbol and definition lookup was flaky at best for java and I believe non-existent for cpp.

Issue for me is that I don't find Linux to be a pleasant env for Android Studio work (coming from dev on a Mac), especially when working with emulators although i've never tried cloud emulators before so I may give that another go.
Rivers and Tides is there. I highly recommend it and The Queen of Trees (2005) which is not in the list.
> say it's good enough (and ridicule people who disagree)?

I'm not ridiculing anyone, I explicitly say that for some people's threat models it isn't good enough.
I don't know and frankly, it does not matter.

In my day job, I trace ecological changes over time in landscapes by reading a very localised sediment core. Over time, this knowledge builds, piece by piece, to build a complex tapestry of what was. It's like building a functional database that then fuels positive action.

You can only do what you can and when you can, so do it well and realise that the little things do add up. People are busy, and realistically, no one really has the power to stop the giants involved in this rolling disaster as an individual.

Society (with a capital S, aka encompassing the social, political, and economic spheres) is a machine we must slow down, do maintenance on and redeploy. Because we are fighting the velocity of the thing, having many people act as another set of "breaks" on the direction trends are headed does matter.

I've changed my 250 to an Insight 2. It's an improvement and it helped me be more attentive with my sleep, exercise. I don't do runs but walks, hiking, cycling and several water sports during summer. It's also used as a HR sensor for my cycling Garmin device.
yes, but it's relatively uninteresting; you could just reboot every 10 hours and 59 minutes, for example. You could check the outuput of a ping command and if it stops giving new sequence numbers or whatever ifupdown the interface, and so on.
Yep - Bistek is beef steak in PH. and Bifstek in India is likely due to colonialism. Its amazing that Chicken Makhani was actually invented in the UK.
Well there is a camera on the drive carriage. But no I did not think of this. It would be hard to precisely reposition the fabric because fabric distorts a lot.
I dont get it. Every scientist & 5yo kid will prove you that things accelerate with 9.81 m/s^2 when falling, and guess this is still science? Which is a proof of cobtradiction that your point doesnt hold.
Awesome. Don looks like a dog himself, maybe an Afghan Hound haha (I mean this in the most endearing way possible).
Sure. It's easy to accept both arguments though: Hamas must be destroyed, but no matter how diabolical Hamas' tactics are, you still can't fight them primarily through an air war that kills tens of thousands of innocent Gazans.

Either way, my only stake in this little subthread is to stick up for the complexity of the history of the region, which both sides of the argument have a tendency to flatten to the point of unrecognizability.
Redlining was bad because it was explicit racial discrimination.

Setting prices based on costs is not redlining. If we want to subsidize poorer people in rural communities, we can do that through a means-tested program just like we do for the urban poor.

The tires and some types of brakes still emit micro plastics.
Reminds me of an ancient Roblox hack I heard about, where they had a non-production staging version of the website that users could sign up for (with accompanied "nothing here is permanent" banner). A new administrator user account was added to production, and someone was able to register the same staging site username and use it's cookies and tokens in order to hijack the production account and compromise the site. I can't imagine these types of problems are that uncommon: if you generate cryptographic tokens based off username or user ID that doesn't have a different secret for production/staging, if your staging site talks to other external services that mix up permission grants for production, etc.
All this is saying is countries will produce/consume fossil fuels according to self interest. US shale/oil export boomed years before RU/UKR war, same with planned LNG expansion. That kind of infra didn't get planned and built in the last 2 years. It just so happens the war validated US prior geostrategic goal of being fossil fuels exporter. Eitherway, why would PRC be convinced to reducing use when it's at 1/6 per capital of US. West has to ramp down per capital usage to PRC levels for that proposal to make sense.

e:

And the only effect of PRC consuming more energy for manufacturing is other countries can manufacture less. Why do we need to reshore / diversify / build redundant factories/supply chains. Clearly that's in jest, but the logic works both ways, why would PRC not harness energy to improve her geopolitic posture when US is using it to enhance hers. Long term demand also works on efficiency paradox, the more supply there is, the cheaper something becomes and the more it tends to be used. US ramping up more supply/reduces, or rather increase cost of green transition. Large reason why oil demand is set to plateau long term is PRC is using oil to make renewables with cheap RU and Iranian oil. The point is, as long as US benefits from being fossil exporter by playing up her geologic advantages, PRC is going to reap benefit from converting fossil to goods by playing up her manufacturing advantages.
She only accepts calls from people she knows. And she hardly uses Safari since she has apps for everything.

Some of you have incredible confidence to be shouting at hundreds of millions or billions of people and telling them they are wrong.

You. Are. The. Minority.

Expand your mind.
I mean, sure, but these articles are so naive. Does the author think these companies are like "we just want better service for our customers, hmm we haven't thought there are privacy risks?". These are blunt moves for profit and data mining. No reason to beg to corporations, just plain don't trust them.
Nice summary, I will steal this quote
A HP-42S and HP-19B my father gave me. So somewhere around 1980 and I still think these are the most awesome calculators. Still works like a charm and still in use weekly.

I'm so used to UPN that I always struggle to use a "regular" calculator.
Brahmic scripts such as devanāgarī, Gurmukhī, and Bengali are noted for joining glyphs with a long horizontal line across the top (shirorekhā). However, other examples such as Tamil use more curls and curves, and lack the shirorekhā.

I am told that one reason for this change was because manuscripts in certain regions used parchment or vellum, and in other regions used palm leaves. Writing on a palm leaf, if you made long, straight horizontal marks on it, you could split the fibers.

Making friends with senior colleagues with Indian background in US Big Tech
I just met a new Indian-background person in my office and he just answered my question as "hmm" and "tsch". However, then he met someone from his state and they immediately connected in their regional language and the other person even received dinner invitation.

I am from a metro city in Western India with parents from 2 states. Grew up speaking English and had school mates from all parts of India including North East.

I was at a US big tech firm (in Seattle) and I saw entire teams organized based on regions of India. And trust me, it included all regions, so not pointing out any specific one. I interviewed at many of them and couldn't clear. Then I interviewed with a HM of my home state. Then I realized this.

India has a large base of talented engineers and managers located in US. I think there unity within Indian-background seniors in tech - but its within language / state-wise / city-wise or worse even narrower groups.

For example - a certain type of folks from a certain part of India are now everywhere at Director/ VP /CEO etc. levels in almost all tech firms in US and even India. How to form deep relationships with them fast? How do I get invited to their house and parties etc.?

So that they reveal all secrets around work visas , promotions and layoffs, performance management, adjusting to a new city and higher internal roles in company? I don't drink actually? Or one should drink?

Also, I moved from the Canadian wing of a US-based FAANG firm to US office. I was placed in a PIP when I informed about my manager my intention to change teams. In reality, there is a hidden URA quota there and folks who are unable to hide their intention to switch teams end up in PIP. Why did my colleagues/ friends at firm not inform me about this?

I have always planned to avoid IMMs (Indian male managers), but its impossible to avoid in tech.

Encourage other people (especially if you're in a developing country) not to have too many children. The absolutely unsustainable population levels worldwide are behind the climate and pollution crises. We are an incredibly destructive species to the planet. All countries, developing and developed are part of the problem.

Not only that the overcrowding and fighting over limited resources causes psychosocial stress, which might explain the mental illness epidemic nowadays?
