I used to kill them mercilessly, until I saw like three "outdoor" spiders ending up as meals in their webs in my apartment within days of each other. I have since left them to their own devices. I am not a big fan of spiders, but these critters are really effective pest controls.

FWIW, they tend to not rebuild webs in places where they got destroyed repeatedly, so if you can do that without killing the spider, it will likely move to a more quiet location. Their webs - I learned at the time - are not sticky, unlike most other spider species' webs, and they do not tear down and rebuild them, rather they extend them over time and happily take over abandoned webs.

So not only do people pay taxes for city services but now we rely on free labor to pick up the slack when those paid services can’t cover every area?

I encourage people to do what they feel is right to clean up the environment around them. But to EXPECT people to go out of their way to cleanup the streets and make them “safe” is not sustainable. Probably poses a significant road hazard as well. I wouldn’t trust 3/4 drivers on these streets to obey posted signs/yield at crosswalks , let alone react appropriately to objects or people in street.

A solution that is sustainable is not relying on cars as a primary mode of transportation. Heavy vehicles (almost everyone has a SUV or truck) cause significant road wear and contribute a significant amount to local environment pollution via tire wear particles and brake dust.

Cities need to be redesigned to support multiple modes of transportation. Get rid of the parking lots. Get rid of the massive highways running straight through cores of cities. Get rid of mandatory parking requirements.

Stop subsidizing suburban living where few people live. This benefits a very small amount of people while straining the local resources (expansion of fire, police, EMS, water, electrical services at heavy expense and decrease in quality of service)

For some reason the download PDF option doesn't work reliably. Two ways to get to the actual PDF if it takes you to the wrong page:

Slow way: Click archive, navigate to the issue, select PDF.

Faster way: On the right hand side (desktop) there's a vertical bar with some buttons click the circled i, then "Issue's Table of Contents". Takes you to the issue's page and you can get the PDf.

Another angle to look at would be the S4 models, which admit both a continuous time and recurrent discrete representation.
Kind of jarring now that the standard library documentation on the Deno website just redirects to JSR.

Speaking of which, the new deno.com site looks like a marketing website designed by an AI. Lacks all of the pragmatic unix-y character that Deno originally had, and is just filled with meaningless numbers and metrics and way too much blank space. It's like they're selling a product... which I guess is what Deno is now. VC funding will do that to you.
The usage of the "superset" expression is very confusing to me and I bet to many others.

I would recommend to use other terms such as "Additive" or "Complementary" to describe JSR.
Exactly. I think it’s misguided to blame Meta or Google here. People respond to incentives, and the masses want to buy stuff using e-commerce, hence it’s profitable.

I’m oversimplifying, but that’s the root of it. If people instead of buying things from ads were looking for the best ways to purchase offsets for CO2 emissions, then the best minds would be working on that problem.
I'm wondering if there's any AI assistant that could run on a headless RPI? And is easy to install?
Not really. I've just read the article. The two terms seem to be just alternatives.
Exactly right! In fact, because that symmetry does not include an action on the parameters of the layer, your conserved quantity <gx, dx> should hold whether or not the network is stationary for a loss. This means that it'll be stationary on every single data point. (In an image classification model, these values are just telling you whether or not the loss would be improved if the input image were translated.)
Yup... but the headline is still very clickbaity! In the end it turns out they didn't delete a game, they deduplicated it (i.e. deleted a game that was listed as a separate version, but was actually identical to the original), and they didn't do it accidentally, but on purpose.
The same applies to comments.

I have absolutely inherited codebases where one of the early steps was to make a commit excising every single comment in the code, because so many of them were old, lies, or old lies, that it wasn't worth the risk of a junior developer accidentally thinking they could be relied upon.

(and of course they remained available in history to be potentially buffed up and resurrected, but still, argh)
Oh boy. Reading the title ("JSR: The JavaScript Registry" at the time of writing) I had high hopes this might be what I'm looking for: Dependency management for JavaScript in the browser. It's something entirely different.

I tried to look for something lately that:

1. Makes it easy to download specified versions of JS libs.

2. Exposes these libs as proper ES6 modules.

I get why (2) is a bit tricky, it'd be fantastic but more of a nice to have anyway.

I don't really get why there's no popular tool for (1) yet. Sure, I can just fetch the files I want from a CDN and commit them to a vendor directory, or I can write a little script that downloads them from a CDN. Or hey, I can fetch frontend dependencies via NPM and have a script that builds/copies the stuff. But that's a bit much labour for something that I thought would be a relatively common requirement.

Am I in the minority to occasionally want to build web apps _without_ bundlers? Being able to skip the build step is very powerful both for keeping things simple and turnaround times fast, IMHO.

HDMI supports >200hz if you've got compatible hardware (HDMI 2.1).

the biggest advantage of signoz over grafana is that you don't have to use multiple backends. If you want to do logs, metrics, and traces in a single tool, then signoz might be a better choice. In terms of visualization capabilites, Grafana has more options but signoz is catching up on that.

Wasn't this in HTTP/1.1 (1997), where you could send chunks to anything that could have a target attribute? (As multipart HTML relied on http chunks, which suffered poor support by the Windows http stack, this quickly vanished and in the 2000s support was stripped from browsers. I think, Chrome was the first to do so. Personal note: I once wrote a chat server, which relied on this technology – and it worked pretty well, outside IE.)

Another way this had been once supported was in Netscape 4.0's layers (1997), which could have a `src` attribute and worked just as you would expect. (However, support for this vanished with the first iterations, about the same time JS-styles were switched to CSS. It had been definitely a feature in the NS 4.0 prerelease versions. Especially the capability to re-link the `src` attribute by JS or by a link target was nice.) NS 4 also featured extended HTML entities, which could render JS expressions in place and also provided a mechanism for conditional comments – so, had we followed that route, HTML would have been already a templating language.
> This makes the already complicated module resolution logic in most bundler/packaging tools even more complicated as they must account for the intricacies of another package manager. A house of cards being stacked on another house of cards...

JSR is a registry, not a package manager. npm allows you to add multiple registries and JSR provides an npm API endpoint. From npm's point of view packages coming from JSR are the same as those coming from the npm registry itself. The only difference is where the package is coming from, but all semver resolution, etc are done as usual by whatever package manager you use.

Disclaimer: I wrote a good portion of the npm tarball generation code.

That's not inevitable, though. I grew up dirt poor, but it didn't instill such a sense of financial insecurity in me. What it taught me was that you don't need much money to live a happy and fulfilling life.

That has been a strength in my career and one of the keys to my success: I don't need to sacrifice any more than I'm willing to in order to be successful, and I can stand firm for those things that are important to me, precisely because I can walk away from any job without disaster.

Why stop there? Build communal cafeterias and dormitories that you can hot-bunk 3 shifts per day. Quality of life is totally a thing, mang.

Weirdly, for a "decent option" these only seem to exist as the norm in areas where people are forced into them by totalitarian governments.

In the United States the few setups like this that have existed were called "The Projects".

To put it mildly, they were not widely considered to be desirable places to live.

I was joking, the max I ever "lost" was a couple 100k of inventory, the majority of it was recovered and the reminder, as far as I know, covered by insurance. Also a, surprisingly similar, fun story involving just slightly different interpetation and handling of messages between our and the service providers WMS, which screwed up things in ways I never thought possible.

According to the lore, Zensunni Wanderers from https://dune.fandom.com/wiki/Nilotic_al-Ourouba
Even some BIFs and NIFs (BIF are mostly just an built-in NIFs) can yield [1]
and choose to reschedule themselves later. But inside the C code it is voluntary, of course. An example of this can be seen when running hash functions [2].

Another interesting idea is that a NIF which may not reschedule themselves with yield, can still signal the scheduler that they are consuming so many "reductions" if they did some lengthy work. So if, say, they run for 10 msec, they might want to bump the reduction counter a bit: enif_consume_timeslice. Otherwise a tight recursive loop calling the same NIF could still effectively block the VM.

Hm, it also exists in the USA with credit "within a few minutes" across banks (the one time I've used this, it resolved within a second), and doesn't cost anything extra. Getting to that point did not require a mandate from anyone, or government involvement of any kind.

It does seem to have been a four-year cooperative project between several banks, though it is not immediately clear to me that instant settlement was a founding goal of the project so much as something that got implemented after four years.
Everyone hates WebP because when you save it, nothing can open it.

That's improved somewhat, but the formats that will have an easy time winning are the ones that people can use, even if that means a browser should "save JPGXL as JPEG" for awhile or something.
JSR is also a company that produces synthetic rubber, a semiconductors company, a pharma company, a journal, and a company that produces merch for rock musicians. All of these rank higher on Google for JSR than Java Specification Requests.

Given that you're going to have a hard time pulling up the JSR you're looking for without adding qualifiers anyway, I don't think this name choice is going to substantially change anything.
I'm the government. I buy your labour for $100 after tax, and you leave that in your bank account - which you have to do or you would get taxed on further spending/income which would reduce the deficit on that spending below $100.

Where's the mechanism for inflation?

It's government spending that doesn't cause a deficit that is potentially inflationary, not the deficit spending part.

> Memory Safe Is Easy In C++

> I feel like some people need to hear "you're not as good at writing memory safe code as you think

both equally wrong. and it's _fine_ to want better tools. but we need to use the right tool for the job.

doing something that involves lots of dynamic allocation and ownership and especially strings might be very hard to do in a memory-safe fashion in C or C++ but conversely there are plenty of other kinds of code that actually are "easy" to write, and verify, to be memory safe.

to assert that language A is overall "better" or even just "safer" then language B without knowing the details is presumptuous. [to be clear TFA is highly presumptuous too]
I wonder if an energy and work metric could be derived for gradient descent. This might be useful for a more rigorous approach to hyperparameter development, and maybe for characterizing the data being learned. We say that some datasets are harder to learn, or measure difficulty by the overall compute needed to hit a quality benchmark. Something more essential would be a step forward.

Like in ANN backprop, the gradient descent algorithm can use a momentum to overcome getting stuck in local minima. This was heuristically physical when I learned it.. perhaps it's been developed since. Maybe only allowing a "real" energy to the momentum would then align it with an ability to do work calculation. Might also help with ensemble/monte carlo methods, to maintain an energy account across the ensemble.

Interestingly, there is an audio-visual device being used by Paul in the first movie. Thinking Machines were destroyed (and anything like them, to a degree), but humans still needed to communicate and travel to planets. The Butlerian Jihad was not about destroying all technology.

The most devastating effect of the movement, was that most planets were largely governed by AI or less commonly cyborgs (cymeks). Rejection/Destruction of these machines left populations in utter chaos, from their managed state. Starvation, brutalism, etc. Imagine if any large country just stopped following a political and legal structure, eliminating anyone and anything who happened to support it. This was the cost of freeing humanity (according to the doctrine).
No … as mentioned it shows how car centric transportation is unsustainable. City should reinvest into downtown core. Build up, redesign city with bike lanes while reducing car lanes. Remove parking lots, parking garages. Slowly get rid of highways running straight through downtown cores. Cities need to stop subsidizing suburban living. Recapture more funds that was previously invested in “road/street” maintenance into more sustainable and environmentally friendly infrastructure (bikes, walking, improving bus services/lanes, rail).
