Well we could just change the law to make the CEO's and the board liable both financially and criminally for labor law violations. Like, CEO is convicted of violating labor laws, gets 32 months on prison and banned from serving as an officer of a corporation for 10 years. These guys are so used to never facing personal consequences they don't know a good situation from a bad one.

> They cannot afford lobbyists. Not without a union.

All of the union's money comes from the workers. If they wanted to they could form a PAC regardless of whether they form a union. Which might even do them more good because then the PAC would be directly representing the workers instead of having an indirect layer of union leadership with potentially different incentives.
Thanks for the feedback, I'll fix it!
Replicate has really long boot times for custom models - 2/3 minutes if you are lucky and up to 30 minutes if they are having problems.

While we loved the dev experience we just couldn’t make it work with frequently switching models / LORA weights.

We switched to beam (https://www.beam.cloud) and it’s so much better. Their cold start times are consistently small and they provide caching layer for model files i.e volumes which make switching between models a breeze.

Beam also has much better pricing policy. For custom models on replicate you pay for boot times (which are very long!) so you are paying a lot of $ for a single request.

With beam you only pay for inference and idle time.
Yeah, maybe a "contains MTU dummy data" bit at the start of the header which lets the receiving client know that this packet 1) May contain additional data after the real payload 2) If it does, send back an updated max packet size based on the amount that made it through.

IETF folks wouldn't like that much state in the IP protocol and it doesn't solve intermediate L2 loss (the real reason you have IP MTU differences) when switches are involved in the path though. That said, might make in interesting ICMP probing method.

It is very expensive, there is no way around the extreme engineering costs of nuclear reactors. Even before trying to make then safe from threats extant and possible.

What do you use for tab-autocomplete in VS Code? I've been trying to find something that can replace copilot, just because it sounds fun. Everyhing I've found seems more aimed at entering a prompt and having it refactor code, not completing as you write with no other input.

Similarly, I use an ESP8266 to supervise my wifi router and cable modem. Any trouble, reboot!

For the router, it just tries to connect to the appropriate SSID, and then tries to ping the router, and if either of those fails, it swaps to the other router. I have two identical routers with identical configs, with their power connected to the NO and NC contacts of an SPDT relay. If one fails, it just toggles the relay state to switch to the other.

If the router is up, the watchdog tries to load the cable modem's status page, and tries to ping any of three different IPs I've identified within my ISP's network which seem to be either the CMTS or closely associated hardware, and should indicate aliveness of the HFC plant -- I don't want to bother rebooting if the failure isn't something that a reboot could solve. Sadly I haven't figured out how to have two cable modems with the same MAC such that I could swap between them too, and the ISP won't let me have two modems on the same account, so my only resort if the CM fails is to reboot it and hope for the best.

This, plus a rack of batteries that'll keep the router and modem running for 30-plus hours in a utility outage, has kept me online nearly-continuously since May of 2020 when I built it. The code is an absolute horror-show (I'm much better with a soldering iron than an arduino), but in practice it's been rock solid.

Except that's not zero sum either. Oil that was in the Permian Basin was there all along, but before the invention of fracking it might as well not exist because of how hard it was to get out of the ground. If some company gets rich because they were able to extract said oil, is the world really worse off because "inequality"?

You can put an amp 50ohm output into a 75 ohm cable or connectors but there will be negatives. The further away from output impedance the more negatives. Loss, distortion, and worse roll off, etc.
Cables are fun too. for much higher frequencies, the less of the actual copper is used. The signal uses the surface of the wiring. For lower frequencies it uses the entire strand/solid copper wire.

RF mostly uses 50ohm but not always. Cable video (tv) is usually 75ohm.
This is the second time I've seen $7T referenced without a clear citation. Is this just rhetorical or did Sam Altman actually say it somewhere?
Spinraza was specifically not covered for years because the English NHS and Biogen could not reach financial terms based on the NHS’ assessment of the value of the drug over other treatments.

To my knowledge as a math-turned-ML guy, there are currently no useful geometric characterizations of deep net latent spaces that are both "deep" (in the sense of using advanced mathematics) and "useful" (in the sense of revealing properties of networks or their latent spaces that aren't understood otherwise). Of course if anyone knows better I'd love to hear about it.

Continuous geometric concepts don't play super well with the way we like to decompose model outputs into discrete entities (classes, words, visual properties). We can, e.g. find variables in celebrity face GAN latent spaces that seem related to face orientation, or hair color, sort of, over some variable range and under some input conditions, but that doesn't really translate cleanly into any typical mathematical characterizations, geometric or otherwise, where you'd be looking for some property to hold everywhere or at least have an atlas of connected local approximations to simple characterizations.

Instead, we get high-dimensional messes of spaces, and network gradients during training don't exhibit clean or easy to understand dynamics except in the simplest toy cases.

To paraphrase a more serious "math for ML" prof I've chatted with at times -- "doing math" classically involves being able to find a description with only a few free parameters for a complex phenomenon that may superficially appear to have many/infinite free parameters. It's possible that for large ML models trained on natural data, such a reduction just doesn't exist, you can't break the contributions of millions or billions of parameters down into a low-dimensional approximation. He was/is skeptical of us attaining deep mathematical insight into their operation, but he could always be wrong. I'd certainly love to see cool novel insights come out of mathematics that give clarity to what's been going on these past 15 years.
Heh, no problems. To err is human, after all. Hope you enjoy it. :)
No. If you hold a license, you are obligated to operate the station at the licensed power. Not caring is not allowed.

In this case, they were required to operate the AM station to keep their FM license. In addition to the usual threats to license and fines etc, they were also risking their FM license which persumably was ROI positive.

> The benefit SO has over this is just the extra friction of needing to copy paste or retype because it slows you down and forces an opportunity to think.

The benefit of SO is the opportunity for both learning and doubt: There are multiple answers and comments on answers. It's not at all a site with nothing but code blocks to copy.

Certainly some people copy-paste without reading any more, but you don't have to use it that way if you want to learn. LLMs treat every user closer to the laziest user, which seems like a problem.

I'm about to release v.2.0 of [DBSnapper](https://dbsnapper.com) which includes the subsetting feature. Works with Postgres and MySQL.

I have a prelease build (v2.0.0-alpha) available at https://github.com/dbsnapper/dbsnapper/releases

And I'm updating the documentation for v2.0.0 in real-time https://docs.dbsnapper.com. The new configuration is there, but I have some work to do adding docs for the new features.

Works with Mac and Linux (Windows soon)

If you're interested in giving the alpha a try, I'd love feedback and can walk you through any issues you might encounter.

Of course you are right, the problem is, these people are not interested in actual discussion and exchanging arguments, only detracting the discussion. For example, when Putin killed Navalny, they try to dig up all possible dirt on Navalny. The point is not to have an actual discussion (which in this case wouldn't matter that much tbh as they guy is dead anyway so his view on immigration don't seem that important anyway) but to paint him in a bad light.

Same with Ukraine: they push the view that "The USA is doing the same so it is fine" which is broken on both points (the USA is not doing the same and it is not fine even if they did).
You're splitting hairs. There's not a single human being in this country who actually cares about whether it's been overturned or repealed or froozed.

All that they care about is that they've been protected from their state governments one morning, and not protected the next.

Disability isn't a permanent state that you start with. It's something that can happen to you 5 years into your career, or 15. It can also be temporary - you break your leg and now you need crutches, a cane or a wheelchair until you heal, for example.

Accessibility also helps people who you wouldn't traditionally classify as disabled: Designing UI to be usable one-handed is obviously good for people who have one hand, but some people may be temporarily or situationally one-handed. Not just because they broke an arm and it's in the cast, but perhaps they have to hold a baby in one arm, or their other hand is holding a grocery bag, or they're lying in bed on their side.

Closed captions in multimedia software or content are obviously helpful for the deaf, but people who are in a loud nightclub or on a loud construction site could also benefit from captions, even if their ears work fine.

So, ultimately: Why should someone who's used to using a given editor have to switch any time their circumstances change? The developers of the editor could just put the effort in to begin with.

As someone younger with less money... well, I'm "lucky" enough to get it for free (fun fact: GitHub just gives it away in perpetuity to accounts above certain threshold of "karma"), so I use it.

Maybe they just don't need to simply? I understand they would like as much control as possible but that's impossible with the abundance of choices and places nowadays and I firmly think that those automated blind takedowns are doing more harm than good.

> If you can guarantee L2 MTU will be fixed and known for every device along the path then there is not really a need for a variable L3 MTU anymore

The L2 MTU is fixed and known for every device on that same L2 network. The Internet is a network of networks; the reason we need to find the path MTU on the L3 network is that a single packet transits over several L2 networks, and while each L2 network has a single MTU, the L3 path can vary.

I hesitate to engage in this hopelessly fruitless discussion, but the answer is no. I don't even express my opinion of the article, arguably barring one humorous phrase that refers to the currently-fashionable wave of Copilot criticism. I don't mind the article. It's actually pretty well-written. None of this is incompatible with my statement that in my experience, Copilot lets me do my job better. Time to get off the internet, physician.
It was not intended as a personal attack. It was an observation that you may have been involved in the industry long enough to sense that changes were coming in near future and that it might be a good time to think about other ways to earn an income.

As far as the Texas political situation goes, I do what I can. I'm only one vote and experience has demonstrated that when you contact one of your elected reps here, the best that you can hope for is that they forget to add your contact information to their list of Texas residents who might support the election or re-election of people just like them. I made the mistake once of correcting one of my reps during a community phone roundtable discussion and later followed up with an email. Since then I have been trying (with some success) to remove my contact info from their call and email lists. The simple fact that they spam your contact accounts from every state-wide and national candidate in spite of the fact that they should know that they will never have your support tells me that they are trying to discourage people who will vote against them from participating in the process. It won't work with me but it might with others.

> What does this have to do with what I wrote?

Everything, really. ActiveX and Flash were proprietary runtimes, which is a real example of a domination play. To my knowledge, Chromium doesn't feature anything that couldn't be reverse-engineered or conditionally re-implimented by third-parties. Maybe some things are nonstandard, but if there's user demand for it then why complain? The native iOS runtime clearly isn't making everyone happy.

Nobody but you has been talking about Chrome's anticompetitive practices in this thread. I might actually agree with you, but I'm not going to discuss it because it's tangential to Apple's own anticompetitive practice.

Both of those posts are actually valid complaints, and they're just as valid when the breakage is on Safari's side. Much as you'd rather minimize it, "who owns the web" is also a valid question when leveled against Apple too.

Do you use Ubuntu LTS? If so, then indeed Nvidia is not a problem.

But if you run a distro that has anywhere near new kernels such as Fedora and Arch, you'll be constantly in fear of receiving new kernel updates. And every so often the packages will be broken and you'll have to use Nvidia's horrible installer. Oh and every once in a while they'll subtly drop support for older cards and you'll need to move to the legacy package, but the way you'll find out is that your system suddenly doesn't boot and you just happen to think about it being the old Nvidia card so you Kagi that and discover the change.
Yes, the federal government has a great deal of leverage over all individuals and businesses in its domain. But nobody would consider it a fair “negotiation” in any typical sense if the Feds offered you a choice of 60% of the market value to purchase your house or a 20% lien on your income for the next 20 years.
there problem here is that the intent from an originalist standpoint of the commerce clause was to prevent New York from regulated commerce coming from Delaware, or vice versa.

Was to regulate, as in to make regular...

It was not to expand to allow regulations to apply to any commerce that happened to cross state lines... like your example of shipping a package.

The movement of the package may then trigger federal regulations but those regulations should not move up stream to the Person that packed the box, as that activity was wholly intrastate. The employer and the employee was both in the same state, and the transaction for the labor was enclosed into a single state.

The transaction from the consumer to the company may be interstate and that may be regulated by the Commerce clause.
The way i see it, that's just a huge advantage.

My partner works as a medical research assistant. They had filled data into a huge spreadsheet in a software I think was called IBM SSES or something along those lines. Basically an excel spreadsheet, with hundreds of columns and tens of thousands of rows.

One of the analyses they wanted to run wasn't working correctly so she was tasked with filling in 0s in place of empty cells. She was expecting to spend 2-3 weeks doing this. She mentioned it to me, I've never seen this software before in my life but it took me 15 minutes to figure out how to do three weeks of manual work instantly. Just googled it and followed some instructions.

Being able to understand software is a useful skill. We should find ways to bring the average person up to speed, help them understand what computers can do so they too can see a task like that and be like "there's no way the software doesn't have an easier way to do that" instead of wasting time doing pointless busywork.
