It is maintained but the UI for dealing with JS is horribly time consuming and overly complex compared to uMatrix. I'll never really understood it and I keep using uMatrix on my laptop. I switched to NoScript on my phone. Maybe I can install uMatrix now if Mozilla really unblocked many extensions. If uMatrix stops working, I'll switch to NoScript everywhere for JS and uBO for all the other issues.
Governments should invest more into education to train kids to actively seek and sense their cognitive biases. I think this is the only serious solution, punishing or baning platforms just addresses symptoms.

To tackle filter bubbles, you need digital competence, which is also an educational problem.
There's a third option! We agree gpts do speak in the mechanical sense, but not in the sense of sharing thoughts or feelings. I often think of the "Fool's Choice" from "Crucial Conversations:" saying nothing, or being emotional, when the best path is the middle ground, a thoughtful response. Something I am still working on!

Very well put.

There used to be a site posted here every so often that would take the best examples of this and the snark was so on-point. I donated to it but think eventually the creator moved on.

Every once in a while an old 4-chan thread will resurface that is another perfect mirror.

I personally almost never used to post as someone would have already said what I'd intended. Now I feel sometimes like the one who flew over the cuckoo's nest.

Am I the old man shouting at clouds, is the site demo skewing further, both? Neither? May as well ask how many licks to the center of a Tootsie Pop.

Edit- comments aren't usually deleted here I wonder if an old-fashioned comment scrape would do, but how to collate and what would even be the separators?
Those are the same things. What do you think filter lists are which is how pretty much every ad blocker works? They literally are a list of a selectors for ads that should be removed.
If I understand right, this is mandatory:

void example(int n) { printf("%zu", sizeof(int[n])); }
void example2(int n, int (*a)[n]) { }

This is optional:

void example3(int n) { int x[n]; }

Point being, _kst_'s comment of "I don't know of any compilers that provide them" is correct - there are few if any compilers that actually have actual extended integer types, and thus introducing such in compilers might be non-trivial, and plenty of code may exist under the assumption that they don't exist and thus could break (things like integer promotion rules, _Generic, varargs; and also intmax_t is of mention as it must be at least as wide as any supported standard or extended integer type (which is also why clang/gcc __int128 doesn't qualify as an integer type as per the standard))
Not everything needs to be fabbed at 7 or 3 nm. Malaysia does well as a place where industrial nations can put mature manufacturing processes and get high quality outputs.
When it comes to data stack tooling, organizations aren't always optimizing for a better way to do things as much as minimizing the worst possible scenario.

New syntax is nice, but it means that analysts and engineers need to learn something new and are more likely to make mistakes that could bubble up to production. There's always an argument to be made why shiny new tool XYZ is better, but unless it's 100X better, organizations are reluctant to switch from something like vanilla PostgreSQL that they know works 100% of the time.

I've not noticed that, have you any examples?
Not exactly, Newton's fractal, which is topological, specifically the wada property, is a boundary condition.

It relates to fractal (non-integer) dimensions, which was first described by Mandelbrot in a paper about self similarity.

Here is a paper that covers some of that.

https://www.minvydasragulskis.com/sites/default/files/public...

In Newton's fractal, no matter how small a circle you can draw, your circle will either contain one root or all the roots.

The basins that contain one root are open sets that share a boundary set.

Even if you could have perfect information and precision this property holds. This means any change in initial conditions that crosses a boundary will be indeterminate.

There is another feature called riddled basins, where every point is arbitrarily close to other basins. This is another situation where even with perfect information and unlimited precision a perturbations would be indeterminate.

A positive Laponov exponent which isn't sufficient to prove chaos, but is always positive in the presence of chaos may even be 0 or negative in the above situations.

Take the typical predator prey model and add fear and refuge and you hit the riddled basins.

Stack four reflective balls in a pyramid and shine different color lights in two sides and you will see the Wada property.

Neither of those problems are addressable with the assumption of deterministic effects with finite precision.
Because these systems are dreaming about their datasets. Or hallucinating about it, as people have decided to call lately. I won't say this is a dead end. I will say we are very, very short of any sort of actual intelligence.

Invade? Absolutely not -- they would have no chance.

Poke the hornet's nest? Yes, I'm saying that. This was a collusion between the U.S., Ukraine, and other globalist EU nations to make Russia look bad using their mass media machine to spread lies about a senseless war, use it as cover to launder money around, and punish / attack a nation (Russia) that isn't submitting to their globalist agenda -- just like they did to Iraq, and several others who wouldn't comply, on the basis of not accepting the U.S. petrodollar.

Why is Russia forming BRICS with nearly half the world? To escape from the clutches of the U.S. empire strangling them.

Well, green spaces do involve tradeoffs. Someone living in Manhattan who is at least OK with the price of housing may wholeheartedly approve of Central Park (and all the smaller parks) while someone who might want to move there would rather some more apartment blocks were built in some of the space.

Of course there are other ways of making space not all of which are totally voluntary to current residents/owners of property. Cities (including NYC) used to be much more cavalier with remaking areas in this manner.
I agree. Singapore is the greenest city but it's hardly green. Construction is always dirty, a few trees won't change that. The sands are stolen from other countries.

They dress up the carbon causing steel beams and concrete with trees but don't forget the tree roots also destroy infrastructure, and at the end of the day it's (toxic) lipstick on a pig, and the continuous maintenance of the lipstick until the pig dies. Cities and human habitats are either being reclaimed by nature or fighting it. Until that fundamentally changes green cities are as realistic as carbon negative oil.

Well, yes and no. Different people want a different user experience. So this strikes me as a need for a new user configurable option.

Make a new user option, so it is easy for users to compact information if they want to. It sucks having to support multiple states (more things to test and verify) but it seems like there is an audience for both ideas.
I agree with some parts not all of them.

His point of fraudulent Amazon SD cards makes sense but you could get fraudulent cards in other places too.

Amazon has one of the best return policies and support.

I once bought a portable AC from a small shop and they wouldn’t take it back even though it was quite noisy compared to what they had advertised.

Large platforms e.g Google and Meta pride themselves that they have billions of users with very few engineers.

The problem is Google thinks engineers should be isolated from users and support can be algorithmified. More often than not, it fails.

I am all for smaller companies when it comes for human touch.

However there is a case for economies of scale when a problem is simple and can be captured fully by an algorithm.

E.g YouTube only really works because they have algos to detect what background music is attached to what video. Imagine if humans were doing it? They wouldn’t be consistent.

The truth is that computers are slowly getting better at understanding the real messy world.

And the reverse problem is computers are also getting better are creating human-looking mess in the real world.

Agreed, so its really important for everyone right now that you personally refrain from commenting further.
I felt that way at first, but after getting around to listening to a few of them you start to realize he repurposed a lot his favorite material from these cantatas into his instrumental works. For example, one of Bach's innovations was the keyboard concerto - where the keyboard played the central solo role. The profound Harpsichord Concerto in D minor BWV 1052, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZX_XCYokQo, is actually reworked from the cantatas BWV 146 & 148.

While there's obviously plenty to enjoy w/o dipping into the cantatas, you might miss out on making these kinds of connections which I think really enriches our understanding of the instrumental works.
> more than a single model and a lot of finetunes/high rank LoRAs

I can imagine a way might be found to host a base model and a bunch of LoRA's whilst using barely more ram than the base model alone.

The fine-tuning could perhaps be done in such a way that only perhaps 0.1% of the weights are changed, and for every computation the difference is computed not over the weights, but of the output layer activations.
I remember someone on SO saying "Go isn't a programming language, it's a DSL for writing networked services", and, well, if we can squint and call Go that, we can definitely call PHP a DSL for dynamic webpages.

I do not use these but I find windows after linux bloated so it may have something to do with microsoft engineers? (teams)

spotify can choose its strategy, you can choose apple music native app (I guess there is something like this? I rarely listen to music but on youtube)

Idont know about teams but my partner has ipad and iphone and I hear often how teams and microsoft products behave bad on iHardware... it may have to do with the love these two big corps show towards each other :) maybe you have to buy a windows laptop for teams too, that is the walled garden philosophy you actually seem to protect :)

my partner now uses my laptop where I have a windows which I did not totally purged because I need this OS for testing :) hell there were chinese text the other day on the front page, you need to scan your finger twice (even if first was a success) sometimes, it cannot find the timezone from time to time :)

I am not linux fanboy, the first ubuntu I purged 20 years ago or so I tried, but in the last 5-10 years linux is just great and getting glimpses how windows works by free family IT care, pff... that is the world we live in :)

I added outlook as a web app for my partner and it has some apparent problems without testing it, but in the last 3 months I see it getting used and no problems I hear :)

I guess the web designers are not web app programmers and it takes time until a new breed of programmers takes over the web...

if I were spotify, I would keep the iOS app and you could choose 30% cheaper web or native... are they killing the native version?

and: maybe these companies are not self-respecting in the way I meant it :)

but every change is difficult... and again, it may turn out that the web just finds its use cases not totally taking over OR: Apple drops the fee to 3% and the change will not be so dramatic

I think the "obvious" comment was a bit snarky, but out of curiosity, I posed the question to the Groq website which currently happens to be on the front page right now. (It claims to run Mixtral 8x7B-32k at 500 T/s)

And indeed, the AI response indicated that the boundary between convergence and divergence is not well defined, has many local maxima and minima, and could be quote: "fractal or chaotic, with small changes in hyperparameters leading to drastically different outcomes."
That doesn't sound like that much, especially in less-dense cities and if you count "embedded" forests/parks. Looking at local newspaper articles suggests Prague has possibly more than that, but mostly in forests, not on streets. I don't know enough to say if/how much that would help with air quality.
I did some reddit research, bamboo seems highest oxygen convertor, so plant a few bamboo forest if the climate allows it. Would also look cool
> Some fractals -- for instance those associated with the Mandelbrot and quadratic Julia sets -- are computed by iterating a function, and identifying the boundary between hyperparameters for which the resulting series diverges or remains bounded. Neural network training similarly involves iterating an update function (e.g. repeated steps of gradient descent), can result in convergent or divergent behavior, and can be extremely sensitive to small changes in hyperparameters. Motivated by these similarities, we experimentally examine the boundary between neural network hyperparameters that lead to stable and divergent training. We find that this boundary is fractal over more than ten decades of scale in all tested configurations.

Reading this gave me goosebumps
I don't see why you wouldn't want someone to use this in production. This is pretty close to the way it should have been all along.

Ah, yes, I found it ridiculous the first definition formally excluded everything but sounds, and in my mind interpreted it to include text. That is an error.

[Edit]

i.e. "To produce words by means of sounds or text." Whoops.
While that could help, I don't see why records and tuples are necessary. We added symbols precisely to deal with this issue in a backward compatible way. We could add symbols for set/map protocols using `equals` and `getHashCode` which would enable any objects to get set/map deduplication functionality. Those implementation could then be the mechanism how its implemented for records and tuples.

If this is a bad way to do it, then why isn't TC39 working on a better way to implement protocols / traits in JS?
> Part of this is avoiding the overhead of figuring out a relational schema, but an equal amount of friction comes from the fact that .sqlite files are just slightly more difficult to inspect

I like this solution to that problem:

Complexity of the definition isn’t particularly interesting, the properties of the object being defined can be.

The reals are stranger than most people realize.

Is coffee itself a luxury? Cause automatic coffee makers are just as cheap as any other method of making coffee these days.
I would say the cost of a vial of medicine for neuromuscular spasms and dystonia (the initial purpose, not cosmetic) is cost prohibitive for a lot of people. Usually, insurance should cover it, but the cost is $1,000/vial for a medicine that was approved over 30 years ago, and the price has only gone up, not down. Some plans (off the top of my head, some Blue Shield plans and anyone who is on straight Medicare/Medicaid) won't cover the cost.

There are a couple of competitors that work roughly the same and are slightly cheaper but it def seems like an oligopoly to keep the costs artificially high.
Really impressive work! I wonder how easy would it be to support (a future open source version of) SORA using Groq's design. Will there be a Video Processing Unit (VPU)?
> OK, they can pay market rate for street parking.

See previous response for why this does not work. Either the street spots are first come first served which does not solve anything, or they are reserved which creates unnecessary inefficiency.

> Ultimately what I see you proposing is denying people homes because you want to use public land to store your private property free of charge.

I'm advocating the exact opposite.

I'm saying it never works well if residents have to participate in the street parking scene because residents are by definition there every night/day, so they need a dedicated spot. And the optimal way to provide that, is for the building they live in to have a spot for them (which they pay for, in either rent or mortgage).

That's why mandated parking minimums are still the best compromise solution. Anything else just externalizes the problem which is worse for everyone.

This thing was released after the datapoint 2200, which essentially has an 8008 made of discrete TTL chips.

The 2200 type 2 (1972) was indeed expandable to 16k. Yes it cost $14,000, but you could buy it. Remember: this was an expensive piece of business equipment, the Altair was a cheap (for the time) kit for hobbyists. Companies buying these machines were choosing between them and a minicomputer like the PDP/11 which cost $20,000.
