As a former substance abuser I can assure you that criminalization was a strong motivator to stop. Anything and everything that made my behavior seem OK/normal in any way fueled the addiction. Fear of permanent incarceration was significant factor in hitting my bottom.
Long term profit margin of pharma is likely in that range.

Look at the profit margins of the successful companies. It’s in the 30-40% range.

That doesn’t include all the money put into startups that fail.

All in, that’s probably the overall return for the average dollar.
usb c? they're fragile as shit, they're a pain in the ass to solder compared to 3.5mm jacks or rj-11 jacks, the data protocol is a fucking nightmare, making a compliant psu is even worse, 90% of the market consists of noncompliant devices that are thoroughly tested to not work, you have to insert them at the right angle, and, worst of all, here in argentina they aren't even dirt cheap

basically in many ways usb c represents the opposite of what i want to achieve

however, it does have some real merits! the other 10% of the market has some really excellent devices which can reliably deliver many watts of power over relatively lightweight, flexible cables; the connectors are quite thin and lightweight, more so even than 3.5mm jacks; most usb-c devices can charge from usb-a chargers and talk to usb-a data ports, where the data protocol is still a fucking nightmare, but at least it's a widely implemented fucking nightmare that delivers multiple megabits; and even if you do have to insert the connector at the right angle, at least now you can do it without looking, unlike usb-a, mini-b, and micro-b
It can even give a recipe of a spicy mayo. Google should be afraid.
Straw man. I pointed out that publicly provided may be more efficient, my argument wasn’t whether profit seeking is universally bad
In practice the only option that I’ve seen work for very large teams and very large relational databases is online schema change tools like https://github.com/shayonj/pg-osc and https://github.com/github/gh-ost (the latter developed for GitHub’s monolith). It’s just too difficult to model what migrations will cause problems under load. Using a binlog/shadowtable approach for all migrations mostly obviates the problem.
oh hey, that's a pretty good idea, thanks! you can tell i'm a novice

it would still probably burn out my earbuds if i put 5 volts at 100 milliamps on the tip connector once the plug was fully inserted
Philosophically and realistically if there is no clear management then everyone will do whatever they want and the project will fail.

And yes, there are lots od companies with bad management, bad decisions, or even surviving despitr bad management. But most of the time thr management at least gives some direction.

You sound like one of those freeloader types, who dont contribute.
The point of the criticism is that defining the version and what constitutes a breaking change like this will still leave people with unexpected breakage in the real world. What you've said so far has not really addressed that point straight on, which might be the reason for the comments and downvotes, I presume.

I don't think your proposed scheme needs to be perfect in that regard, but acknowledging the concern and at least putting it in perspective would probably help.
I'm with you. I thought it was a joke at first
Just because we have the ability to move individual atoms around, doesnt mean its affordable to do so. It probably would have been pretty expensive (and low yield, and cumbersom, and error prone) to make a 100mp camera in 2004.
i can't find much to disagree with in your comment. i wish i could disagree with the snarky comments about my lack of expertise, but unfortunately those are on target too :)

This is a wildly uninformed view.

They do raise prices in Europe. And what happens? The government says “no” so patients don’t get access.

Or the companies just don’t launch the drug at all.

Bristol Myers Squibb (BMS) has decided against launching its cancer drug Opdualag (nivolumab and relatlimab) in Germany due to pricing pressures.
Very interesting! Can you see those helping for RAG scenarios? Specifically:

- decreasing models tendency to answer with ungrounded answers

- increase models ability to respond with the correct syntax for citations- the open models like llama2 dont seem to obey my prompt’s syntax instructions.
Calling solar panels sintered sand is an over simplification. Aside from the amount of energy and water it takes to produce them, a lot of older panels have some pretty toxic materials that can leech out... lead, cadmium etc.

We will need to process these appropriately at their end of life and not just landfill them.

While watching an interview recently, where the interviewee was sitting in front of their bookshelf, I was trying to discern the book titles to add to my reading list. I screenshotted the person/bookshelf and tried asking ChatGPT+/GPT4 to list all the books. It could only identity a tiny fraction.
Has anyone written about or noticed the performance differences between Gitlab and GitHub?

They're both Rails-based applications but I find page load times on Gitlab in general to be horrific compared to GitHub.
I get what you're saying, but what weirds me out is that the latter - scorsese & midjourney - are ostensibly comparing creatives (tortured re: midjourney, but still...), whereas DALL・E is... a small, mobile, trash-compacting robot. Which doesn't fit with Christopher Nolan unless it's some reeeeally odd, ham-fisted criticism of Nolan's movies...?
Closed source would fix this.

GPL would not (CC licenses is not appropriate to code)

Please ~ MIT or Close Source projects. Don't GPL, GPL is for assholes and the antithesis of free code.

This likely won't go anywhere.

Clay had a bit of a track record at Google for creating chaotic, visionless orgs heavy on product management, and for burning 100s of millions of dollar to the ground through expensive acquisitions and nearly immediate reassignments and value destruction (e.g. Eyefluence).

The market for this sort of enterprise chat service is already in a rapid race to the bottom, and the executive "vision" here is a B2B margin play.
I would argue we are well past the point of calling AMD an underdog.
That's the thing though. I want my work to be consumed by others. Other human beings. I don't want to anonymously feed someone's AI and be stripped of all credit.

People release information into the world on their own terms. Licensing is hardly a recent legal construct.

Like it or not, people want to feel good about sharing things with the world. Feeding an AI strips all the bits that feel good. You no longer create art for your own audience; you just send it like fungible raw matter to a distant refinery.

Some people are not into that.

You should not be so comfortable making up opinions and ascribing them to what you consider to be your opponents. I said arguments from mere authority mean nothing. I.e. your arguments, where you refer to other people without making any argument yourself.

I'll also note that you dismissed my references as being by "randos", without any further argument or even reading them.

Was wondering about this is you don’t mind. The post states disappointment with the US manufacturer but for a prototype. Maybe it could have been improved if you’d asked? Perhaps they didn’t know they were in a horse race.

I tend to think of a prototype as a rough sketch. Unless of course they told me it was a demo to win the job.
I think we should have a big-tent view of software and software licenses. There are good reasons to use a non-open source license. If you want to block Amazon from running your code on their servers, an open source license is not for you, and you should choose something else. There are other licenses that make source code available under more restrictive terms.

The fact that there's a clear definition for what an open source license is, and some licenses meet it and others don't, means I can make a statement like that, talking about a bunch of licenses as a group.

If it just means "licenses that make source available with whatever terms" then it's a less useful way of classifying and discussing licenses.

Most terms in the English language are fuzzy that way, but this one has a clear definition and I would like to stick with it.
And beyond the setting and ambiance, it’s a huge portion of the restaurant’s value proposition: “Here are all the things we do and are proud of, what sounds best?”

At the risk of being extra curmudgeonly, have you ever dined someplace where they wheel a dessert cart round? There’s kind of a lightweight vicarious thrill you get just from eyeing the physical tantalizing plates, even if you don’t end up eating one.

Compare that to “here’s an empty text box. Whisper your very specific wishes to the genie and maybe it’ll materialize something in the neighborhood of your demand, probably not exactly what you asked for; and it’ll hide all the cool stuff we do that isn’t directly relevant to the demand we made you work to formulate (and probably can’t fill exactly).”
My unprincipled compromise is that I spell it MiB and pronounce it 'megabyte'. Spoken language is lousy with ambiguity already, I can't recall a time when I've ever had to clarify which I meant in conversation.

Two reasons (may not be well thought out or wrong):

* Flash Attention, an efficient attention module which significantly speeds up training, only works on Ampere GPUs [1]

* Even if I bought a 3090, I would have to get a computer to go with it, along with a PSU and some cooling. Don't know where to start with that.

Bevy has actually moved away from the ECS for performance-critical lookups in the renderer where the ECS doesn't carry its weight. The engine isn't dogmatic about ECS use.
What I'm gathering from the quiz is that the documentation for IP_MTU_DISCOVER is terribly written.

> IP_PMTUDISC_WANT will fragment a datagram if needed according to the path MTU, or will set the don't-fragment flag otherwise.

And then the quiz asks for the DF bit in the former case. The docs don't say; one could illogically assume the DF is unset in the former case … and in fact, that seems to be the case, though this leaves me wondering why it would do that, since with DF unset, it won't elicit the needed ICMP responses. There still remain some cases, of course, where we could do that (the latter case in the docs) … but this seems inefficient. In the former case, why wouldn't we fragment according to the PMTU and just set DF in all cases?
Maybe eink screens will become cheap enough to dish out as dynamic restaurant menus in the future?

Well, let's hope they still think of the interest of their patients first or that the incentives are aligned. Also, in the US, everything is more money oriented than in Europe which may explain the difference of views here. I grew up in a family of doctors and they didn't see their job as a business, but rather as a public service.
Meat agriculture is killing us in multiple ways.

- Pandemics including the 1918 "Spanish" flu and COVID

- Antibiotic resistance

- Air, soil, and water pollution

- Deforestation for feed farms and CAFOs

- A major component of climate change

Most people are inhumane and completely reject animal cruelty reflexively, so it's a weak, unpersuasive argument. Meat agriculture and fossil fuels need to be banned but won't because of stupidity, profits, and a lack of willpower.
Would it burn to ash at those speeds?
The other thing is that polling is quick and convenient. Your polling station is usually within easy walking distance, is open 07:00-22:00, and IME you're usually only queuing for a single digit of minutes if at all. There's also postal and proxy voting. On the contrary I hear reports from the US of having to queue for a long time, or working people worrying that they won't be able to get to the stations in time. Though I imagine this varies a lot by state
Yeah, I've read the text.

And it's trivial to be compliant with AGPL in this case without any effective change to the behaviour or problems caused. Yes, there would be source code link somewhere, but it can take 0.01% of the SEO spam and be still compliant.
They were opaque, but that's why we all kept ResEdit copied onto our hard drives. Mostly to edit the icons, mind you. :)
> turned them into lakes and changed the climate

Global climate? or strictly local area effects?

Global nuclear currently generates approximately half the energy that hydropower does, and less than an eighth of that generated by coal and gas which is the goal to replace - to replace that with nuclear will take many many years which will then no longer be "low foot print".

All this focus on wind and solar is largely because it is delivering replacement power now and at less cost than nuclear.

TMON is absolutely hands down the most joyful tool I’ve ever used. Debugging classic mac INITs, trap patches, heaps. I’m sure a mail machine would’ve felt similar (if not more alive) but being able to poke at a running system - from within the system - was amazing. We do it differently now, but for a brief period of time, we were gods.
If this were the first incident like this I would agree, but they very intentionally dropped the magnet link for Mixtral on Twitter with no further context. That leaves me wondering if this was also a weird on purpose thing rather than just them being casual.
I haven't dug into this much at all, but I am aware that some teams have been looking for methods to either discover or train in symmetries and invariances into latent spaces. For instance, in an image recognition model one might expect shift and rotation invariance properties.

I don't know if this line of research is going anywhere, but I thought it was interesting in terms of actual geometry being applied to ANNs.
> you're working on vim's presumed tokenization and not a tokenization that's native to whatever the underlying language is.

LSP can be the foundation to a paradigm of code editing instead of text editing. I want the kind of integration we have with Smalltalk IDE like Pharo and the SLIME plugin for Common Lisp and Emacs.

> It's the AST that matters to the code author, and the AST is a tree, not a string.

I'd take variable inspection (not sure it's the real term) before AST manipulation. More often than not, I'm more worried about the result of data processing than the processing itself. Such capability exists in live programming, such as the system itself. And I believe this kind of rapid feedback is a much better experience.
Personally, I feel the real competition is the OSS Rust engines against Unity, Unreal, and to some extent Godot, rather than the competition being between Rust engines. Bevy and Fyrox are both great frameworks.
Probably due to day-1 patch :( so the disc is ‘out of date’.

Sublime Merge does this really well.
I feel like you're doing a bit of "othering" on marketing and sales. As https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39396436 puts it, this is common outside software (you'll find hardware purchases are similar), and is all about being the preferred vendor of choice (for both current and future purchases). That maybe it doesn't exactly match the archetype people think of as sales, I suspect there's a lot of lessons in looking at adjacent fields to see what they do.
This is a good reason to wait for "gold" editions etc. Not sure if they still sell 'em but you would get a patched version that is actually done.
That sounds like a problem with your default DNS server, it's not like Sony provides one.

The combination of pieces is what should be tested then, not the behavior of each individual piece “just in case something needs it that way”. You’ll never be able to change anything with that approach. And why shouldn’t bugs be fixed anyways?

JELL-O and most pill capsules are made from animal products too.

"Dead" in the "nonliving organic material" sense. It seems much easier for mycelium to survive in something incapable of an immune response vs. living tissue. And yes, largely besides the point indeed.
Oh yeah, things can still scale up but the gap ends up remaining the same as the same scaling drives each. Fortinet does some really insane stuff scaling its custom ASICs (+some FPGA, but it's not fast enough for everything so most is in ASIC instead) on e.g. the FG-7121F chassis to get ~500+ Gbps IPS/NGWF throughput. I haven't had excuse to go past their "smaller" fixed platforms which do 40+ though. Naturally you're paying more for that single 500 Gbps (total), of which elephant flows are limited because that's via parallel flow processing, than you would for something like a Nokia 7750 SR-s with ~500x (216 Tbps) that throughput though but such is life when you need to act as an endpoint instead of a router.
You aren’t alone, no, however an awful lot of people would be thrilled if they could walk into any restaurant, anywhere, and automatically have mac and cheese or whatever their preferred dish is delivered to them.

The majority of humans aren’t adventurous, and prefer convenience and consistency, and not having to think.
The format of this article is ... hard to parse. Perhaps it was created by AI?
So many people I encounter seem to think it’s the code that’s important when building the back end of an application. You see this when people discussing database schemas start comparing, say, rails to hibernate. But ORMs emphasise code instead of data, which in my experience is a big mistake.

In my experience, getting the data structures right is 99% of the battle. If you get that right, the code that follows is simple and obvious.

For database applications, this means getting the schema right. To this end, I always start with the underlying table structures, and only start coding once I understand how the various tables are going to interact.

Sadly, too many people think of the database as the annoying hoops we jump through in order to store the results of our code. In my world, the code I write is the minimum required to safely manipulate the database; it’s the data that counts.

Some people seem to think I’m weird for starting with the database (and for using plpgsql), but I think it’s actually a superpower.

Zed feels good to use, even though it lacks a lot of features I regularly use in vs code. But the biggest hurdle for me is that windows is not supported. I switch between my laptop (mac os) and desktop (win11) depending on where I'm working from for the day. And its too much stress for me to remember a completely different set of workflows and shortcuts. So, for now I wish zed the best, but vs code remains my editor of choice.
Me neither but I’ve also scraped sites and seen this is very commonplace. Especially the last couple of years it’s been ramped up. Twitter and Reddit locking down api access. You know that gchat and facebook chat were both open back in the day? Today you’re lucky if you can use a niche web browser to access a large web site. So I don’t mean accessibility necessarily in terms of human accessibility, but in a broader sense. Some of the anti-bot measures are creating problems for humans as well.
