Germany and Japan also faced extensive campaigns of cultural reprogramming. Campaigns that already had the foundations of success because both countries were urbanized and covered in mass media. In Afghanistan this was fundamentally impossible because much of the country follows ancient, tribal ways of life that the occupying forces never fully understood or appreciated. This isn’t to say it was easy to rebuild and pacify Germany and Japan—Japan in particular required a very sensitive balance that was probably Douglas MacArthur’s crowning achievement—but urbanized populations that have already been brainwashed by mass media to follow one ideology can easily be reprogrammed by the same mass media to follow a different ideology.

It probably also helped that both countries were so thoroughly devastated that their own “might makes right” ideologies had been clearly discredited by events. You can’t really claim to have racial or spiritual supremacy over your enemies when your enemies have reduced your cities to rubble, driven your people before their armies in vast refugee columns, and occupied your cities with soldiers. Obviously if you take this too far you run the risk of revanchism, so there’s another balance to be struck between domination and mercy.

Another big difference is that both Germany and Japan were accustomed to authoritarianism. Germans and Japanese were very governable peoples, and still are to some extent. The people of rural Afghanistan were ungovernable to begin with, more ungovernable than the people of any developed country. For example, I’m going to guess that your way of life does not involve grabbing your rifle and joining in this year’s season of warfare without any consistent ideological commitment to which side you want to fight for. But this is how many tribal Afghans have lived for centuries. There’s a core of devoted fanatics within the Taliban, but most of the actual fighters literally showed up and treated the war like a pickup basketball game. That’s why we seemed to win so quickly and easily in the beginning—nobody wants to be on the losing side. But as time went on and American commitment diminished, the dynamic shifted before ultimately and dramatically reversing.
> If you have spoken to more than a half dozen people and everyone is awful, the problem is you. Figure out what you want, rinse, repeat.

Or you live in area, where everybody is indeed awful. I am in a happy 15 year relationship, but before that I lived in a remote shithole and yeah, I was the issue, because I didn't share a local culture with a niveau so low that hurts my brain when I even think about it. It is totally possible that the type of person you are into wouldn't touch online dating with a ten foot pole. And that case you would only find those who are not your type and you are better off just going to places where you might meet them (e.g. gallery openings, etc.)

But yeah, if that isn't the case and the fault is constantly with others some introspection might be in order, e.g. some people tend to sabotage themselves. They are afraid to get hurt, so instead of trting and potentially failing they make up some reason why it is not a fit.

I spent a couple months hacking on a dreambooth product that let users train a model on their own photos and then generate new images w/ presets or their own prompts.

The main costs were:

- gpu time for training

- gpu time for inference

- storage costs for the users' models

- egress fees to download model

I ended up using banana.dev and runpod.io for the serverless gpus. Both were great, easy to hook into, and highly customizable.

I spent a bunch of time trying to optimize download speed, egress fees, gpu spot pricing, gpu location, etc.

R2 is cheaper than s3 - free egress! But the download speeds were MUCH worse than s3 - enough that it ended up not even being competitive.

It was frequently cheaper to use more expensive GPUs w/ better location and network speeds. That factored more into the pricing than how long the actual inference took on each instance.

Likewise, if your most important metric is time from boot to starting inference then network access might be the limiting factor.
Nice pun !
But these are typically filling the usecases of productivity applications, not ‘engines’.

Microsoft Word doesn’t run its grammar checker as an external service and shunt JSON over a localhost socket to get spelling and style suggestions.

Photoshop doesn’t install a background service to host filters.

The closest pattern I can think of is the ‘language servers’ model used by IDEs to handle autosuggest - see https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/ - but the point of that is to enable many to many interop - multiple languages supporting multiple IDEs. Is that the expected usecase for local language assistants and image generators?

> Are there known exploits based on web browser use, which are foiled by CPU microcode changes? Or, are these speculated to be possible?

The exploit certainly was possible: https://security.googleblog.com/2021/03/a-spectre-proof-of-c...

To what degree it's mitigated by CPU microcode patches or browser changes, I couldn't say off the top of my head. I suspect the situation has improved on both fronts.
The problem is that often it will give answers that are only subtly wrong, and those will get shipped too.

I think my puzzlement is with the focus on accessibility as though it was a high priority item. In my experience it's usually an afterthought, if it's a thought at all. Personally I've never worked on a codebase where accessibility was in the top 5 priorities. No one would ever block a prod release for an accessibility mistake.

But like I said, you could take this whole argument, find+replace "accessibility" with "security" and you would have a much more compelling argument imo. Given time constraints, code should prioritize security over accessibility basically always.
ROCm is preferred over vulkan for AMD GPUs, performance wise. Using OpenCL or Vulkan should only be for older cards or weird setups.

Silicon is basically refined sand. Sand whose value is effectively 0. Refine it into a silicon wafer, etch it into semiconductor chips with a few billion transistors each, and that wafer of a few dozen chips is worth tens of thousands of dollars.

If your imagination limits "resources" to bare materials, yes, of course they're limited—though there's an awful lot of sand in the Earth's crust. But it's a stunted view of economics, so stunted as to be worthless as a model.
...until you need to close a Finder window and you need to remember to use ⌘W because that can't be quit. Then you need to make sure to ⌘-tab past Finder because it will hang around near the top of recent apps until you've switched to enough other apps to push it to the bottom of the list.

If anyone has a way around this I'd love to hear it, but I think it's basically a side effect of apps being allowed to be open without a window and Finder always needing to run, so seems like an inherent part of the MacOS experience.
Have you actually read Roe itself? It struggles to find any real basis for what it was doing in the constitution and the same logic should have rendered unconstitutional e.g. the Controlled Substances Act as well as any equivalent law at the state level, because the government is interfering with what people put into their own bodies in private. People liked it because they liked the outcome, not because it was ever coherent.

The real problem is that a lot of people want there to be a right to abortion in the constitution but they don't have enough votes to actually put it there, and they also don't want to read the constitution's general constraints on government power to be restrictive enough to limit this using coherent logic because that would also limit the government from doing many other things they want it to do.

Based on my strongly negative experience with automatic high beams (2019 Honda Ridgeline), I'm very dubious that smart headlights will hit the intended target, much less continue to do so as the vehicle's hardware ages.
I hear your thoughts on equality before the law and everything. I think it is coming with a good motivation, cute even, but, dare I say, not everybody deserves to be treated equally, if we were even willing to tussle for the sake of equality (and by extension, fairness, see my previous comment).

There are capitalists in this world. There are communists in this world. There are Christians in this world. There are Muslims in this world.

I'm not taking any sides. I'm just saying that it is impossible for all of them to be right... Because they are mutually exclusive ideologies/religions. Someone is bound to be wrong. Therefore, someone deserves to be treated poorly by the law. Infact, dare I say, all these 4 groups are being a bit childish. Also, "totalitarian" is also another such group. Anyway, personally, for the current situation of the world, I think that the world needs at least one adult leader at the helm. In other words, dare I say, a single leader. No, definitely not someone who believes in totalitarianism.

Finally, personally, I think that if I fail to feed my children properly, then, it's either a failure on the part of society to educate me properly or to manage the resources. I am, afterall, a product my society.
It would be loaded repeatedly if the ui is opened and closed repeatedly. You can achieve the same “long running server + short running ui window” with multiple threads or processes all linked into one binary if you want of course. This way (with a separate server) seems simpler to me (and has the added benefit that multiple applications could easily call into the “server” if needed)

Maybe the bullying was happening at your school and you were just lucky not to see it.

I went to an excellent high school and it was filled with many friendly intelligent hard working people. I was still bullied. I’m sure many of the other friendly nice kids in my grade probably assumed no bullying was going on because they personally didn’t see it but I can assure you that even in the best schools it can and does happen.

I was in high school 15 years ago.

How would you define that one great manager? What personality traits, behavior, skills made that person stand out? I'm curious as I'm getting more managerial responsibilities.
That's a fair and reasonable question to ask.

Here is video of an unrelated party filming the WJLX transmission site 11 years ago: https://youtu.be/l1Srg9WEPzw?si=CVBcR3MrZ4BiaZgc

That's absolute nonsense. Biden abused a law that did not say what he said it said. If you can't get Congress to pass a law, you don't get to do the thing.

At the risk of a cliché, Biden's student debt forgiveness strategy was dangerous to democracy.
It's because other tools are much better.
He also did fire a lot of sales and account managers in those first weeks. There were advertising customers in the news who were no longer purchasing ads because they literally didn't know who to contact any longer.
There is an ecological cost to miles and miles of solar panels. Desert ecosystems are extremely fragile, and these kinds of projects can be very damaging. It’s not just wasteland. (Said as a desert Southwest denizen and lover who gets the impression that many people think, “oh, there’s no trees? It’s unimportant land.”)

I want the Utes to have success in this, but I don’t want the general attitude to be “trash the desert because there is sun there”.
Isn't it essentially generalized semver?

The more breaking changes are, the more effort it is required to take them into account. Semver only applies to APIs. Effver could apply to UIs too, but for APIs, it would be similar, just not as well defined (because it is more general).
Then maybe they should live in a state that agrees with them. That's sort of the entire point of being organized the way we are as a nation.
Your average MAGA is a conservative who cares about things like low taxes and gun rights but who is also protectionist on trade and immigration. This is a change from the older Bush and Reagan conservatives who tended to be neoliberal. They may or may not care much about culture war stuff. Some do and some don’t.

I’m talking about ideologues and movement people. I have run into a few of these people in the wild, mostly neoreactionaries, trads, and neo-racists who use terms like “race realism.” I haven’t personally run into really hard core neo-Nazi types in my circles but those exist too.

A lot of the above either admire Putin directly or at least see him as an example of the kind of strong man ruler they think we should have.

It’s not clear to me whether the ideological affinity is mutual though. Putin’s Carlson interview seemed dismissive but Putin has dog whistled to these crowds. Maybe he’s just doing it for propaganda reasons and could personally care less.

There’s also a big claim about Putin being heavily influenced by Alexandr Dugin but I’ve heard others claim this is hugely overblown.
Yes. I doubt you can find one that is not capable.

Game developer's guide to the Chinese market [pdf]
This document describes how foreign game developers can succeed in the Chinese game market. Given that there are about 55 million Chinese STEAM users.[1]

One of the most interesting parts of this document is about "Cultural foreignness."

"The Frostpunk game is a perfect example of how different can cultural perspectives be – the city survival game developed by the Polish 11 bit studios, triggered a debate among Chinese netizens on how societies should be run, and what are the people’s responsibilities when they’re facing extinction. Upon completing the game, players view a recap of their choices and are asked the question: The city survived...but was it worth it?
Many Chinese players found the question enraging – on the one hand, they mostly consider video games a form of entertainment and are not used to games questioning their moral decisions, on the other hand, many of them believe that all means are justified as long as they ensure the survival of the society as a whole. Therefore, their experience from playing the game was completely different than that of Western players"

Great work, I'll try and take a look at some of the reports over the weekend, you've piqued my interest to dig further
When I switched from Intel Mac to the M2, I was easily able to get my Linus and windows VMs running again.

As well as my intel apps. Was pretty smooth and the speed and power efficiency gains are obvious. My mac book air draws about 5w total while the DAW is cool as a cucumber.
I've lived in several states with annual safety/emissions inspections (VA, PA). Virginia certainly used to check the aim of headlights (30+ years ago), but probably don't any more. I imagine that the wide range of headlight designs today makes adjustment too complex for most inspectors to do, much less owners.
It can be a negative effect like "I decided to skip work to do the drug instead and lost my job"
Because running it locally really means running it on a cloud server that you own and is called by other server that you own. This gives you the ability to make the interfaces lightweight and most importantly to not pay premiums to model servers.
Sounds like that would allow a Linux VM running on a macbook
You could just write Patterson directly. I would first write him a short email with maybe one example and then ask if he would be interested in seeing the rest.

I hear your comments and agree with your data about the 15% difference (personally, this number doesn't even matter, what matters is just the fact that there is some form of observable difference) even though I haven't verified it.

I'd like to give you a thought exercise, if you be so kind to me. I'd like for you to take that Dutch argument and replace Dutch with "human adult" and Asian with "human baby" (assume it's a booming population where babies outnumber adults) and see if your reasoning serve you well.
The connection between platforms' algorithmic recommendations leading you to the worst and most vile of the Internet due to engagement... doesn't have any connection to liability for what platforms host?

If Social Media Co. were liable for defamatory, fraudulent, harassing, and pornographic posts on Social Media Net(tm), then Social Media Co's incentives would be to minimize the quantity of such content and to be careful to design algorithmic recommendations to steer people away from such posts if they slip through.

That doesn't mean it's the right answer—my view is that the benefit of an open Internet outweighs the benefit of protecting people from mean words—but the logic is neither ignorant nor unsound.

Roe is simply a bad court decision. Congress has the right to codify Roe into law. The Supreme Court does not have the power to create law out of whole cloth. Overturning Roe was the Supreme Court taking presumptive power away from itself.

Also, the current court absolutely has an originalist majority, even if you happen to disagree with the originals. The Constitution is a very restrictive document for the Federal Government.

The best definition I’ve read somewhere was along the lines: addiction is something you do repeatedly even though you know it’s harmful for you.
This is basically the question at issue. Administrative agencies have been acting as though they can for a while now but there isn't really anything in the constitution that says that they can, and some pretty good logic for why they shouldn't. What's the point of electing legislators and setting up balance of powers if you're just going to put the lawmaking authority in the executive?

Suppose during a lame duck session that the government passed a law delegating rulemaking authority to the Senate, so they could pass new laws without them being voted on by the House or signed by the President, right before the House and Presidency switched parties. Does it make sense for that to be allowed? If not, how is it different when it's the executive the authority is being delegated to, which isn't a part of the legislature at all?
I know. That’s why I said it. Abusing a non-profit’s services for a useful function when you had your own to make use of? That’s what we call a dick move. Although this is a hypothetical dick move. Killing off Google Cache was a dick move and wasn't hypothetical though.
> Isn't the answer quite obvious, which is that if someone wants to use an engine built off "proven old tech", they should probably just use one of the major players in the space

All of the major engines are written in C++. I've tried Unreal, Unity and Godot. They all have their flaws. With Unreal and Godot those flaws are mainly the scripting languages BP and GDScript which one can get tired of quite easily, especially BP. You can of course use C++ for all your scripting but both engines strongly encourage you to use their scripting solution for a big chunk of your game. (Unity has a bunch of other issues and isn't source available, although C# is fairly pleasant to work with IMO).

There is definitely need for an OOP engine in Rust just as there is need for an ECS engine in Rust.
In my experience of home solar cloudy isn’t necessarily a problem. It doesn’t reduce power much.

What a lot of this misses is the issue of bandwidth. Chat based interfaces are great when your area of investigation is incredibly narrow and you want highly focused, precise answers.

It's terrible when you want broad swaths of input that you're scanning through to discover new things. Text is an extremely low bandwidth communication tool.
Lots of different ways to go about this. "Representation Learning" is what you're going to want to look up.
