Years ago they shortened the number of returned results to around 250-300 if one is not "logged in". To me that made the "number of results" meaningless. What's the point of telling me about all these results if I cannot access them. Fast forward. Lately I am seeing that for certain obviously not popular, non-commercial queries Google will return less than even one full page of results, for example less than five results. A SERP with three results. Is that a joke? Whereas with the same query sent to DuckDuckGo will return multiple pages of results.

Technically its probably still incorrect (ianal). Municipalities cannot make any local law they want. All law making authority has to be delegated to them by the provincial government. Band councils are a bit more juridsictionally complex, but i imagine this is beyond their authority too.

Municipal government making a law outside of their authority has the same effect as if you or i declared a law.
Maybe it was true 6 years ago, but I'm currently playing with Elixir/Phoenix and I feel very productive, Phoenix is well design and adding new functionalities is not that hard and the code is easy to debug. On the other side, Elixir and Erlang are not that popular and every time I talk about it to other developers, they may have heard of it but can't talk about it, so it's probably not that easy to find devs for a startup. But the barrier to entry is probably what keeps the libraries well designed. For anyone interested in Elixir I would start with those books in this order "Elixir in Action", "Programming Ecto" and "Programming Phoenix Liveview".
It goes back and you have to pull it off. The front is opaque.

I emailed their customer support and asked them to stop targeting my email account in all their ads. They said they did, but I still got a ton of their ads afterwards.

This post is just a list of grievances that don’t convince me in any way why I don’t need it.

Maybe, I don’t care if it’s “overengineered” or maybe I don’t need something fast or maybe I need an abundance of talent to work on it. There are plenty of reasons why it might often be the best choice.

The rewards were reasonable when they were agreed to. I think the shares were only worth $50 million total. The fact it increased in value so much is the result of him meeting those milestones.

Why is that not reasonable.
I see a lot of people who basically skip to the figures, and take them at face value, and read nothing more about the paper.

When I read a paper I start with the abstract and go to the methods. then I inspect the figures carefully for the common tricks scientists play- axes tricks, overfitting, etc, looking to see whether I'm c onvinced the figures actually came from running an experiment, or just from copying and pasting other gels (this is extremely common).

I used to do: read the whole paper in order, recursively visiting each citation (often 2-3 levels deep); within a few hours, I was convinced the entirety of science is build on somewhat shoddy foundations.
Yes, last I heard they seemed designed to catch infection and be a training ground for the immune system, so it can deal with the issue faster if that particular pathogen infects a more critical organ. Also similar to one of the reasons babies stick everything in their mouths, so they get samples of pathogens while they are healthy and can deal with it, rather than getting exposed later when they are sick and their immune system already stressed.

Market share was/is a means to an end.

Mozilla positioned Firefox in part as a reference for how web standards should behave (*), particularly for ones where Chrome/IE/Safari diverged with competing non-standard implementations.

But for that to work in the real world, not just at W3C debates, you need major websites to care if they function correctly on your browser. And for them to care, enough people have to be using your browser that these companies see a business case for spending money to add your browser to project plans and QA test matrixes as a compatibility target.

That decision is heavily informed by market share, whether global or as a percentage of the site’s own access records. In particular, double digits is a rough threshold for that, and that was pretty much Mozilla’s target. 50% would be wonderful but 10%+ let them assert standards in the ecosystem via the implicit threat of users leaving a site if Firefox didn’t work.

As a test professional at the time, one of the most discouraging things I saw after leaving Mozilla was Firefox dropping off all the test plans I knew about when they hit single digits. I’d poke at that decision where I had influence, and would basically get back a response that “Firefox is dead, just look at the numbers.”

(*) I’m pointedly ignoring some of the more aggressive introductions of things like device-interface APIs crucial to making a browser engine act like a phone OS, etc. Ultimately, someone has to build a working implementation before it’ll become a standard, anyway. There’s a race aspect for new ground and Mozilla was part of that.

But generally speaking, where there was an actual recognized standard, Firefox used it and not some homegrown alternative. So websites also had to develop to that standard to function correctly for a significant percentage of users.

yes, that's why the attempt to provide a Linux subsystem on top of the NT kernel (WSL1) was so successful they abandoned the approach entirely

She also wrote that awful "we need to go even further than deplatforming" blog post a few years back. I have no real opinions about her skill as CEO, but when she is out there actively encouraging the division in our society I could not in good conscience support Mozilla any more. I hope that the next CEO will be more focused on building up, rather than tearing down.
I feel that the documentation is often overlooked. In react I’m always confident that if I can think of something someone has likely already done it. Can’t say the same for my experience in the newest version of angular (I will admit that might be due to my noobishness)

A fairly realistic one, having various stats in mind: "I will love you for however long most humans can love a single other human without getting tired of them, which on average boils down to 15-20 years"

A bit more brutal one that happens quite a lot in more traditional countries: "I really want my relatives to leave me alone about marrying and having kids so here, I am marrying you as a ticket to another life that I'll abandon once I am reassured I won't be deprived of inheritance".
imho fascinating experiment, even if it didn't produce world class Elo.

For one thing, statelessness deprives it of easy solutions to repetition and endgame decisiveness.
It's more on the nose but probably less right from a marketing perspective.
I think there's a market for LLM-based therapy that is reviewed/tweaked by a human therapist in between sessions. That would give people the assurance that things aren't going way off the rails.

OTOH, I could also see a market for an offline, fully private LLM therapist. That way you could say anything without concern about being judged. These would probably need to be tweaked to be different from regular therapists, who normally interact with people who have somewhat more of a filter, since they would fear being judged. If people opened up to LLM therapists in more transparent ways, the LLMs might not respond in the way a human therapist would recommend (having seen very little data on such interactions).
>so people are losing access to things they've paid to "own".

They would still own the physical copy of it. Having the bonus goods that come with the thing you buy not be available forever is nothing new.
I dont think its a slippery slope. We've had non natural persons in law going back to the romans.

The problematic part here is, how do you determine what a river "wants". Maybe it wants to be polluted the way some humans want to smoke. Ok, maybe not, but still, it seems like this is the wrong tool for the job. Why not just use some sort of environmental easement, or pass some law making it a protected river.
It is quite literally what the GOP asked for not even 12 weeks ago (Dec 6, 2023):

> Republicans on Wednesday blocked an emergency spending bill to fund the war in Ukraine, demanding strict new border restrictions in exchange and severely jeopardizing President Biden’s push to replenish the war chests of American allies before the end of the year.

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/06/us/politics/senate-ukrain...

The Democrats said okay. Senators Sinema, Lankford (literally the 2nd most conservative senator according to his own congressional page), and Murphy spent the last couple months negotiating a new bill.

Trump then tanked it saying it would help Biden:

> Republican front-runner Donald Trump said he wants to be held responsible for blocking a bipartisan border security bill in the works in the Senate as President Biden seeks emergency authority to rein in a record surge of unauthorized border crossings.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/01/27/trump-bor...

Now the GOP house refuses to bring the bill to the floor:

> House of Representatives Speaker Mike Johnson declared it "dead on arrival" if it reaches his chamber.

Yes, in the US the rules are like this:

- first to the intersection has the right of way.
- if you both arrive at the same time, the one to the right has the right of way.
- If you both arrive at the same time facing each other you can both proceed driving straight or turn right.
- If you both arrive at the same time facing each other anyone turning left must defer to the other.
That's micro-shortsightedness. Lots of tools even OS utilities are being rewritten in a "better" language. It could be quite beneficial from a business perspective too if you're spending more time fixing issues than addressing new requirements.
70b is probably going to be a bit slow for most on M-series MBPs (even with enough RAM), but Mixtral 8x7b does really well. Very usable @ 25-30T/s (64GB M1 Max), whereas 70b tends to run more like 3.5-5T/s.

'llama.cpp-based' generally seems like the norm.

Ollama is just really easy to set up & get going on MacOS. Integral support like this means one less thing to wire up or worry about when using a local LLM as a drop-in replacement for OpenAI's remote API. Ollama also has a model library[1] you can browse & easily retrieve models from.

Another project, Ollama-webui[2] is a nice webui/frontend for local LLM models in Ollama - it supports the latest LLaVA for multimodal image/prompt input, too.

With all due respect, I don't think that this is a proper application of that rule. Sometimes, a single line changes the entire substance of a piece, and I believe that this is one of those times. I think that to trash talk someone while ostensibly writing a eulogy for them is grossly inappropriate and deserves criticism, even if it is a small part of the piece by volume.
Maybe because Liouville and Hamilton, being mathematicians, are better known to the target audience than the physicists Schrödinger and Heisenberg?

I know the difference between mathematicians and theoretical physicists can be small, but I think that categorization is valid.

To verify my intuition, I checked Wikipedia. It calls

- Liouville a mathematician and engineer (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Liouville)

- Hamílton a mathematician, astronomer and physicist (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Rowan_Hamilton)

- Schrödinger a physicist (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erwin_Schrödinger)

- Heisenberg a theoretical physicist (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Werner_Heisenberg)

This will be great for customers. Figma is going to have to innovate and compete more to justify their valuation in an IPO, like they have been doing with previous work on Figjam (competing with whiteboard tools like Miro, etc.) and dev mode (i.e. a reason to pay for engineering seats). This will probably also push them to work faster on generative AI design tools.
Someone buys assets but not obligations. The obligations are attached to an organization, not to something that organization owns.

Also, bankruptcy causes anyone with such an obligation to stand in line with other creditors.
The methods section is my major judgement call. That's where you set off they have a clue what they're doing and care enough to worry about ensuring the work can be received. Which, after all, should be the main reason a to publish a scientific paper based on experiments

On the one hand, I don't expect anything to exist "forever". Companies don't stay in business forever. A forever contract doesn't even make sense.

But on the other hand, there need to be protections here. Just because a company merges or gets bought, doesn't mean they should be able to end their guarantees.

What about if, to be legally allowed to license streaming content, companies were required by law to:

1) Specify a minimum duration available as part of the buy button and all other text using the term "buy" or "license"? E.g. "Buy for 5 years" or "License now (min. 10 years guaranteed)"

2) Require some kind of insurance/escrow/backup in advance, that guarantees that if they go out of business, all accounts and purchases will transfer to another service that will continue to honor them for the time period specified (or full purchase price is refunded)

In terms of a minimum time duration, there are even physical analogies here -- books can yellow and their bindings crack and glue fail, vinyl wears out, floppy disks become unreadable after a decade or two -- I've even had CDs experience some kind of green growth in humid climates rendering them unreadable. So we already have a kind of pre-existing expectation of media purchases only lasting so long, on average.
So you're saying my original comment could be clarified to something like, "you have the US and UK taxpayers to thank for this industry, lest anyone forgets"?
The law already distinguishes between legal and natural people. The idea that certain groups of people become virtual people is not new. It dates back to roman times and our entire legal system is built around it.

Congress did act. They passed the TCPA in 1991 knowing full well that Chevron deference would allow the FCC to tweak their interpretation of the law as facts change. Congress doesn't want to have to micromanage things like this. If they did they would write the laws in a way that prevents situations where Chevron comes into play. And anyway, getting rid of Chevron would transfer the agencies powers to the courts, not congress.
But this announcement is for people who bought the physical media and it came with a code where they could stream it as well.
