They tried using Fossil for netbsd (and may still use it for some things, I'm not sure). Fossil was not designed for large repositories: https://fossil-scm.org/forum/forumpost/5ad122663cbae98f?t=h It could be optimized for that case, but since there doesn't seem to be a lot of interest, I don't know that anyone is going to do the work.
I've worked in situations where A/B testing is heavily used (and useful) and in situations where it was completely useless. Both in the same company but at separate points in the flow.

Where you have enough users (maybe you're a major online retailer), A/B testing should be a vital part of your toolkit. Not the only tool, but you definitely need to test every change you make. If you can gather enough data within 24 hours, why wouldn't you test your change?

That being said, A/B testing isn't the be-all and end-all. It just gives you some information to make a decision. You still need to know your customer, speak to them, survey, observe, etc. You might even pick a "losing" variation with the aim being to reach a more optimal business outcome. Data doesn't give you the right to abdicate your responsibility to make good decisions.

There are cases where A/B testing can't help at all. A great example is in low-volume but critical flows (think SaaS conversion funnels). For these, you need to rely on the other skills you have at your disposal.
Most Access-based apps turn to shit because they're made by non-developers. The tool itself isn't to blame. I've seen Access used to great success when coupled with scripting to dump schema and code to text files for version control and code review.
that's a fair point but i valud people who value the cli over guis. not that you can't use a gui but its much better to know what its doing under the hood.
Impressive rates. I have been using a ultra-short bond ETF (VUSB or similar) for storing excess cash rather than a savings account. Maybe I should reconsider.

I feel this title is misleading. Fed = Federal Reserve. This is Congress’s doing.
there's a lot of roads all leading to the same place, there needs to be a constitutional amendment about the right to own your own data, and if someone collects it from you they need to pay you to collect it, and you should receive a tax on any transaction where its sold

at least that's my suggestion

if people collected my information and sent me a check in the mail every month for a decent amount, i might not be so annoyed.

Honestly the whole thing would be funny if it's wasn't part of the dystopian society we're building. Is this... innovation now? What are we trying to optimize society for? Extracting maximum rents? But were will the money come from if everyone is doing the same thing and producing nothing of value?
Hello Michael, lovely to see this, congrats. Do you already have an API? I could not see it on the site. If not, then do you know around when we can expect it? I am building a desktop BI app with hosted and local LLMs (need schema inference and text to SQL). Would be nice to have Phind as an option for users. Thanks

CUDA seems to have a lot of mind-share as a strategic asset, but all the evidence I've seen is that AMD defeated themselves. I've never seen them fail due to lacking features or capability, and I haven't heard stories of it either. The complaint seems to be, consistently, that the drivers crash.

If CUDA is so good, it'd be great to know what it does that AMD cards can't. I've never gotten that far because I hit what seems to be some sort of kernel panic or driver lockup.

An image generator is supposed to hallucinate. That's the whole point. If you want a non-hallucinogenic image, then use Google image search.

It's just so ass-backwards to release a creative tool and then attempt to constrain it to a pre-determined set of imagery.

Like, imagine an AI that can produce images of any crazy thing you can think of? Wouldn't that be amazing?

Billions have been invested in this technology, and it sort of works!

The problem is that if you release it to the public people are going to use it to generate any crazy image they can think of. We can't have that. No good. No good at all.
Oh right, Apple removed USB-A for the betterment of the world.

Just like Apple removed HDD support and that's why we all use SSDs now. Or how they removed DVD-ROM and that's why we use portable flash memory. And PS/2 peripherals in favor of USB ones.

Oh wait... Seems like I'm wrong, all of those happened organically! Huh...

Apple created the problems (USB-A and 3.5mm removals) and sold the solutions (dongles and adapters at a huge premium, and of course their Bluetooth earbuds).

Just look at adapter/airpods sales figures and the money Apple made post removal of those. I suppose you think Apple is above such business practices because they're some elegant, high brow company. But they're not, they're just a company.

In fact, that slimming of the macbook came back to bite them in the ass due to inappropriate heating for the Intel cpus at the time. All the macbooks between 2018 and the first M1 were just expensive, overheating garbage.

I'd suggest reading up on what some of these new database providers are doing to help prevent or fix mistakes like this. Since you mentioned PlanetScale, I'll use them as an example.

1) PlanetScale has IP ACLs, which locks down passwords to specific IP addresses. [1] Additionally, with TailScale or another VPN solution, locking down based on IP isn't necessary foolproof.

2) They also have Safe Migrations. When enabled, it prevents DDL from being run directly on a database. [2] Additionally, using deploy requests for zero-downtime schema migrations also allows you to use reverts, which will revert the migration. [3]

The part of MCTS that matters for solving it is the Bellman equation, which is a component of the Bellman-Ford shortest-path algorithm, so all of those methods are part of a continuum.

Which one works best is pretty sensitive to the exploratory decisionmaking algorithm: do I search this cell first, or that one? That heuristic is the differentiator, whether it is put on top of a Dijkstra-style algorithm (A*) or a Bellman-Ford-style algorithm (MCTS).
This is why we need a digital cash equivalent. Transferring value shouldn't have to cost 1-3% of the transaction value. It's an absurdly high tax.
> "Basically nobody writes CUDA," wrote Keller in a follow-up post. "If you do write CUDA, it is probably not fast.

I am a big fan of Jim Keller, but this is semantics that argues CUDA the language is not a moat, when most people refer to CUDA the libraries.

CUDA has first party support in most of the libraries in use today, if you were to stray from that happy path you must have deep pocket to work through the hurdles of working with something like XLA.

There's a reason why Microsoft, Google, Amazon and Meta are still buying Nvidia accelerators even when they have their own in-house accelerators.
That frankly sounds like someone that has never used chatgpt for anything beyond “write me a poem” and read a lot of news about artist work being stolen.

A valid point certainly but missing a key angle.

The fact that the models are capable following basic data processing tasks. Ie here is a table I need you to do xyz with it tells me this “they’re just parrots” view fundamentally doesn’t capture where the utility and usefulness lies.
For context, the reason I ask is that I am developing some Ruby gems, and considering whether it's worth adding .rbs files.

In the Python libraries I maintain, types are useful to anyone who installs the default Python VS Code plugin, because it gives them intellisense (but doesn't give them red squiggly lines for type errors) even if they do nothing to set up types or a typechecker.

Is that or will that be the case for Ruby/Steep?
Agreed. I've been building CD ladders for the past year or so with shorter term CDs which are all paying higher interest than the money market accounts. CDs also have FDIC insurance. Many CD brokers allow you to buy and sell CDs on a market, so they have some liquidity now.

There are also 'HISA ETFs' like CASH.TO:

* https://moneyguynow.com/best-canadian-high-interest-savings-...

However note:

> The biggest difference between HISA mutual funds and HISA ETFs is that ETFs are not CDIC-insured. This occurs because HISA mutual funds allow investors to be registered with the deposit institution as individual depositors, whereas a HISA ETF bundles the sums provided by all investors and invests the proceeds in the ETF’s name. However, HISA ETFs mostly invest with systemically important financial institutions (SIFIs), which are subject to greater regulatory requirements than non-systemically important ones. In Canada, we have three types of SIFIs.

tl;dr = Vice Travel Guide site has a half-hearted vibe going on. The function decay felt like it might have started some years before VC.

I watched Inside NK - it's a good as you say. And then I tried to find the link to Part 2.

'Tried' because the vid doesn't auto-advance to it and pt2 isn't among the handful of videos that can be found thru navigation or searching from that page.

I did find it on Google. Also part 3. Also other offerings that Vice's internal navigation didn't lead me to.

Included in that last was a likable followup series, VG's to NK Labor Camps (in Siberia) https://video.vice.com/en_us/video/north-korean-labor-camps-...

However, I suspect Vice doesn't care if anyone ever finds these classics - and hasn't cared for a while.

But that implies the rich kid has the choice, no? That, in itself, is part of the disparity. This is such a weird, odd take to defend.
>To truly predict the next token you have to understand everything in the universe.

What do "truly" and "understand" mean here, when LLMs are known for making errors and generating semantically correct but contextually meaningless results? Do they truly understand everything in the universe, or is the appearance of understanding the result of that universe being composed of data created by humans, so that relevant and meaningful results are statistically more likely than not?

Most CD brokers will let you see all the CDs on offer and give you sorting and searching abilities. I buy CDs through Vanguard (they're my broker) and it's easy to get a table of CDs which match my search terms of duration, amount, and minimum return.
>its much better to know what its doing under the hood.

I agree when it comes to programming langs, libs, compilers and in general computers. Because knowledge of those things significantly affects your output (code)

But git? I treat it the same way I treat email client, power point or chat app used at work.

Hell, I could probably benefit more from high power point skills than high git skills.

I will always advocate for testing for and treating sleep apnea. Awareness has improved a lot but it was wildly undiagnosed 10ish years ago[1]

I use a different treatment, a medical grade mouthpiece basically. I needed to get wisdom teeth removed for it to align properly. Part of my daily hygiene routine now is keeping this thing clean

If I could go back in time, I would still get it as soon as possible because it gives me life and I would honestly ____ myself if I had to go back to living with untreated sleep apnea.

It's not even a 100% fix for me. I may try cpap again.

And my case was technically mild, waking up 6 times per hour during the night via choking on sleep.

It's non-negotiable to treat it imo. Having any treatment available at all is a miracle.

There's lots of causes for tiredness, so it may not be apnea, but if it is you should treat it.

IMO it is worth noting that the “turbo mode,” as you call it, seems to be an overlock that some motherboards do by default. Not the stock boost frequencies.

The hyperthread and c-state stuff, eh, if you want to run code that might be a virus you will have to limit your system. I dunno. It would be a shame if we lost the ability to ignore that advice. Most desktops are single-user after all.
I always thought it would have been neat if the users themselves had pooled resources and bought it up.

It could have been extremely valuable, but at this point management has been clearly outed as having no idea what they are doing.

I hovered over a few links and they didn't seem to be affiliate links.
you’re very specifically using rhetoric to:

- bring up other problems, which is definitely relevant because problems intertwine, but you’re avoiding focusing on any points regarding any single issue at a time. You still have to consider items, even when there’s a collection.

- bring vitriolic accusations (“GENOCIDE!”) into a discussion on plastic pollution, farming, and food supply. This is unacceptable.
Not anytime soon. The moons is still expensive to get to, unlikely to even become self sustaining (and thus expensive to support long term), and AFAIK doesn't have any resources we cannot get cheaper on earth. There will likely be constant attempts to go to the moon because it is close, interesting to science, and a good practice for missions to elsewhere - but there is enough space that anyone who cares to go will just go someplace nobody else is.

Mars might - strong might - be able to become self sustaining. If that is the case I would expect to see wars eventually as it becomes settled.

There will of course be the usual crime. This might rise to the level of "cowboy shootouts" but still the police will come in quick and take care of it.
Note that the paper doesn't measure execution time of the A* or Transformer-based solutions; it compares length of A* algorithm traces with length of traces generated by a model trained on A* execution traces.

I suspect that the actual execution time would be far faster with the A* implementation than any of the transformers.

As a heavy user[0] of the existing web components standard, I think this is unnecessary. The only rationale given here for another kind of web component is to be able to do it without JavaScript. That's not really necessary. Most component based websites are going need to need JS and many are entirely JS/TS-based (like SPAs and static apps that are served as a single file.)

A web component without JS could only nest other standard or custom web components. It couldn't do anything to them or their data (attributes, properties). What would be the point? The real use case for web components is creating HTML blocks with both behavior and layout attached to them. To get the behavior, we need JS and we often need it to figure out the layout, too. (If this, then show that, etc.)

St Louis county just did some of this for their property declaration system. It used to set right there in the website: An ugly set of forms, but perfectly functional. Apparently they ordered a rewrite to yet another contractor, and now you get a link to.. stlouismosmartfile.tylerhost.net. Following the link, from the county's own website, warns of a third party link! The link prompts the user to register... and the validation email, unsurprisingly, is sent to spam, and then flagged as risky by gmail! Enough red flags, you'd think it's an old soviet military parade, but no... when you call the county, they say that yes, this isn't them getting hacked (again), but the way things are supposed to be.

This is something everyone that owns any property and is a resident of the county must fill out: About half a million accounts will be created in two weeks. Making sure that all of this comes from the county's domain? Too difficult for them. And all for a website on the other side that doesn't look much better than the old one.

Given the rise in ARM in many areas of computing, I'm not sure how much of a moat x86 is / will be long-term.

Is there anything 'inherit' to the instruction set that cannot be done anywhere else? I know that many Intel/AMD systems now have a bazillion cores, which is very handy for some things. Also, AMD seems to have a large numbers PCIe lanes, which is great for I/O between (e.g.) the network and on-system stuff.
The idea that not taking this flight is framed a "sacrifice" is kind of the point I'm getting at. It shows how inverted and skewed the framing is by default to be egocentric rather than holistic

Let me use an example from this morning.

My kids ride the bus to school. The bus stop is about 800 feet from our house and an equivalent distance to other kids' houses. That's at most a two minute walk. Almost everyday, unless the weather is basically PERFECT, there will be four SUVs running and burning gas waiting at the bus stop where the other parents literally drive 800 feet so their kid isn't mildly cold, wet etc...

This is what is confusing behavior TO ME. It's wasteful and unnecessary because the prevailing behavior for people is "do not be inconvenienced, avoid discomfort, and maximize experiential pleasure with no thought of externalities"

Why is this flight even an option to begin with? Simply because someone at Delta thought, hey this is a great opportunity to make revenue and be fun and etc...I'm sure someone even made the point that "well we buy carbon credits so that solves that pesky carbon problem." Delta used it's propaganda (advertising) to induce a novel fear of missing out in order to increase it's revenue and brand. That's it. There is simply no thoughts here other than "maximize revenue" and "have fun."

This is not "growing the pie" the people who buy these tickets are choosing this environmentally egregious set of actions, and actively crowding out more pro-social spending.

If the spread was 5%, the calculation would be different, of course.
