We don't have a "complete" official example of those things, although the "game menu" example has some of that: https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/blob/main/examples/games/...

I recommend checking out Bevy Jam games (which are pretty much always open source) for more complete / real world examples: https://itch.io/jam/bevy-jam-4

Definitely a bit of a gap in our official learning material. Hopefully we can close it soon!
Unlike what other commenters are saying, this Zout == Zin is applicable to audio.

For a fixed Zout much higher than zero, if we want to suck the most power out of the amplifier, we should use a matching Zin indeed. E.g. if an amplifier has 16 ohms output impedance, then we will draw the most power out of it with a 16 ohm load.

Loads higher than 16 ohms will result in less current flowing.

Loads lower than 16 ohms will cause power waste in the source impedance. For instance a zero ohm load will mean that all the power is dissipated in the 16 ohm source impedance: the zero ohm load draws current, but no power because it I^2R is zero.

So from there, if we increase the impedance gradually, we obtain more and more power until we get to 16 ohms, and after that less and less power.

In amplifiers we care about efficiency, not with operating at the theoretical point where absolute maximum power is drawn. With a near zero ohm output, we ensure that all the voltage is dropped by the load rather than wasted in the source.

When we have a near zero ohm output impedance, Zin == Zout still applies! E.g. theoretically, the maximum power transfer from a 0.1 ohm amplifier would take place if we connect it to a 0.1 ohm load. And that reflects the trend in low-output-impedance audio amplifiers: the lower the speaker impedance you plug in, the power power you get: 16 ohms, 8 ohms, 4 ohms, ... You just can't go anywhere near 0.1, due to the practical limitations in the amplifier: ability to deliver current without frying itself.

But, so yes, Zin == Zout is relevant, but in the majority of the audio amplifiers built, which have very low output impedance, that theoretical point occurs at low value of Zout/Zin which usually out of reach of the absolute current delivery capability of the amplifier.
> they could have an explicit obvious error for the application.

No, they can't. "The application" has already been written by a 3rd party who could be out of business for all we know.

Or you could let it keep working. Somebody might depend on it, and none of this is their fault.
Yes, in any negotiation, either party can walk away.

But it’s a strange kind of “negotiation” where one party gets to take much of what they wanted in the first place when the other party walks away.

When people hear “Medicare negotiating drug prices”, they think, “The feds using their purchasing power to negotiate lower rates.”

But existing Part D purchasers were already giants like Aetna, with tons of leverage of their own. It wasn’t enough, so now we have selective price-fixing, dressed up as a “negotiation”.

Maybe it’s a great policy, but if so, its supporters should stop lying about what it is and defend it on the merits.

The consequences would be steep: HB 2816 sought to impose daily fines of $12,000 per megawatt hour on any operator that fails to meet the goals."

You say, lapping up conspiracy theories.
Well, yes and no. Theoretically, I could create my own sovereign nation on whatever land I want. But if nobody recognizes that sovereignty and applies their laws to that land instead of mine, am I really sovereignty? These reservations exist on land that otherwise is part of the USA. If the government decides not to recognize their sovereignty and say the treaties are void as a result, unless they can mount a resistance, they aren't really sovereign at that point.

I don't know what your argument about tallness is supposed to mean. Fairness has nothing to do with people being equal in physical attributes, however it does have to do with being equal in front of the law and how to influence law and the ability to improve one's economic situation (or the chance to loose it).

That is what is being eroded by the wealth inequality. The wealthy are significantly insulated from the law, are shaping laws that further reduce their chance of loosing wealth, increasing their wealth in the process and reducing everyone else's economic opportunity.

For a society this creates an unstable situation, if all economic (and political) power sits in the hands of only a few that creates unrest often leading to a violent overturn of the situation (or trying to counteract via totalitarian measures).

As a side note, you say you're content with not being wealthy, but how far would this content stretch, would you be content if you are so poor that you'd struggle to feed your kids?
> It's surprising how many companies are bad at the interviewing process.

Some companies have such unrealistic expectations too. Here's one from a company that I bailed out of. Would have been an interesting company, I think, but not world-changing.

This is literally how they described their process:

Phase 1: Initial conversations

- 30 minute recruiter screen

- 60 minute resume deep dive

Phase 2: Interviews

- 15 minute hiring manager screen

- 2 x 45 minute engineering

- 60 minute overview of your past projects, including presentation

Phase 3: Further interviews

- 30 minute second interview with hiring manager

- 30 minute values interview

- 30 minute leadership interview

- "additional interviews as required for position"

Indeed, WSL has surprisingly good GPU passthrough and AVX instruction support, which makes running models fast albeit the virtualization layer. WSL comes with it's own setup steps and performance considerations (not to mention quite a few folks are still using WSL 1 in their workflow), and so a lot of folks asked for a pre-built Windows version that runs natively!
This needs to get to the front page! $400 certs is extortion, plain and simple.
There is still a game loop that runs every tick. The engine wouldn't work so well if we only responded to inputs as they come in, event pub-sub style.

As for ECS overhead, I've made it one of my top priorities to eliminate it wherever possible since it underpins the entire engine. We're at the point where most optimizations are saving a few tens or low-hundreds of microseconds per frame in your average game/app (i.e. lowering context switch costs from parallel system execution). If you're pushing below 60 FPS in your app, chances are the performance issues are not coming from the ECS, but some other part of the engine, or the app's own code.

> a new random person will not just magically inherit it just because they're now the president

How do you explain that Putin, who was virtually nobody, was nominated as a prime minister in August 1999, declared Yeltsin's successor in December 1999, and then was elected as the president in March 2000, less than eight months after the broad populace first heard of him? How do you explain that the Kremlin nominates a governor, the populace who (at times) never heard of that governor comes and votes for him?

I've never seen solar installations reported as anything other than nameplate.

I don't like it. I do like renewable power, but this kind of puffery makes people think that we're right on the verge of building an all-renewable electrical grid. Which we are not.

We could have a zero-emissions electrical grid in ten years, by embracing a nuclear baseline, putting in a bunch of solar and wind where it makes sense, and adding some battery storage to soak up the intermittency of the latter. But when people read solar by the nameplate, they think it's 7x cheaper than it is, and try to compare that number to nuclear, rather than the actual one.

That's because modern originalists are embarrassed by this, because it starkly reveals how untenable originalism is. But it's a fact. Look up George Wallace some time. Segregation and Jim Crow were the law of the land for 100 years after the 14th amendment was ratified, and many (white) people fought tooth and nail to keep it that way.
Cities and states also have governments.

Who do I talk to when more fundamental rights are violated? If my 1a or 2A rights are violated, my recourse is suing in court.

Seems absurd, especially considering the collective nature of a union, the complainants should be able to pool resources for lawsuits, but they get their own agency to act on their behalf.

The problem is more general too.

> The FCC is a good example of coordination that benefits everyone but isn't really interstate commerce in rules-as-written.

Most of what the FCC does actually is inter-state commerce. They're regulating communications networks that cross state lines and radio products that are sold not just inter-state but internationally.

In principle they shouldn't be able to stop you from building a radio within your own state and then using it there at power levels that don't cross state lines, but why would they need to? Your state could do that if they wanted to.

> Call it what you want but large businesses planning to do large buildouts collect bids from states for favorable tax breaks and other incentives.

The bids are a competition between corrupt government officials in different states to see who is willing to offer the most taxpayer money in exchange for having their pockets lined. The problem here is that taxpayers fail to vote out anyone who does this.

> Having the federal government step in and tell every state all at once that the practice is now outlawed eliminates this source of legal corruption and levels the playing field so states that want to attract business must do exactly what you lay out.

The fact that they haven't done this rather illustrates the point. If the population doesn't want it then they'll vote for politicians who don't do it at the state level. If they don't care enough to, as seems to be the case at present, then no federal rules exist either.

To be clearer, it isn't Ollama-specific. I first encountered the issue with Stable Diffusion, and it's remained since, but the GPU that causes it isn't currently inside any machine; I replaced it with a 3090 a few days ago.
AMD GPU support is definitely an important part of the project roadmap (sorry this isn't better published in a ROADMAP.md or similar for the project – will do that soon).

A few of the maintainers of the project are from the Toronto area, the original home of ATI technologies [1], and so we personally want to see Ollama work well on AMD GPUs :).

One of the test machines we use to work on AMD support for Ollama is running a Radeon RX 7900XT, and it's quite fast. Definitely comparable to a high-end GeForce 40 series GPU.

> they're arbitrary because the rule you're being fined for violating was created by the administrative agency fining you rather than Congress.

This is a weird argument that seems to be being put about recently and it's one of the weirdest legal arguments I've ever seen. Of course rulemaking can be delegated. The rules and rulemaking body remains under oversight, the rules can be overridden by the elected body, etc.

Just a totally strange argument; delegation of authority by elected bodies to specialist subgroups is basically how government works without having 100,000 elected positions, and if your proposed solution is 'okay let's have 100,000 elected positions' you get the local government situation in which people run unopposed because nobody really gives a damn and the local coroner is the town drunk - or people just vote straight ticket.

Just weird. Seems more about destroying the system - which isn't perfect, but works - than about actually solving a problem.
That’s also true, but those stages would need to fit in a specific art style.

If they did nest, the construction project would be on hold for a year.

Agreed! "The Federal Government is using its authority to dictate reasonable Medicare pricing to pharma companies that have a proven history of gouging the American public for self enrichment of management and shareholders." is a reasonable way to communicate the topic. Be honest, of course, but steamroll bad actors. They'd withhold medical necessities if it earned them a few more cents per share, the evidence on this is clear.

> To my knowledge, Chromium doesn't feature anything that couldn't be reverse-engineered or conditionally re-implimented by third-parties.

Because you've just literally supplanted standards processes with "whatever Chrome ships is standard now". Are you even aware that Chrome ships 400 new web APIs a year?

Indeed. Very few people talk about Chrome's practices, period. You could look up the thread why I started talking about Chrome's practices.

> I'd have an easier time believing you if I couldn't use the web with my Open Source browser.

Ah yes. The only thing that's needed for a company doing whatever the hell it wants is to provide the source. Who cares if no one has any say on what gets implemented in that browser. Who cares if even that company admits that no one contributes to that browser: https://twitter.com/RickByers/status/1715568535731155100

I mean, you could use the web with internet Explorer, too, so why complain?

And yes, there's an increasing number of sites (including sites from Google) that carry the "only works in Chrome" or equivalent banner. So no, increasingly I cannot use the web using an open-source browser of my choice.

IMO it's all a moot point. If people condemn the BSL because it's not truly open source as per the current definition of open source, changing the definition will not change their opinion. So yeah, changing the definition can trick a few people into believing that BSL is open source, and then maybe we will invent a new word to define what we currently call "open source". But that sounds ridiculous. Just invent a word for "open source + BSL" if it really matters to you...

It's not a philosophical question at this point, it's really just a definition.

I have hired or been close to 4 hires of IT consultants so far. Every time the process was very simple:

1. Do we know a company that offers that service?

2. If yes: Hire them.

3. If no: Don't hire.

Of course this is maybe a little bit oversimplified but at least in the cases I witnessed there was no big selection process of multiple different consulting services. In smaller companies the personal connection is much more important than the best offer on paper.

I wasn’t thinking something like beam search, I think this seems kind of unnatural. I can imagine that the human brain is doing something like GPT, but I can’t imagine it’s doing something like a beam search.

I was more thinking a model that writes to a piece of scratch paper to gain confidence. But it doesn’t have to actually output the scratch paper that it uses, it’s totally hidden from the user.

You could take this a step further, and have something like a “two-brained” model, where the original model falls back on a secondary model if it’s not confident in its response. This resembles a “fast” and “slow” brain.

I think the scratch paper idea has been explored to some extent, but I’m not sure if people think it’s a dead end.
