It's funny that you say that, since that was the solution to Windows issues for... decades? Not sure if that's still the case, as I haven't touched it in forever.

Regardless, not sure where you've gotten that impression of Linux. The only times I've reinstalled is when I've gotten a new laptop, and in those cases I just copy my home directory over to the new laptop and everything just works.

The GP's example of needing to reinstall because they wanted to change desktop environments is nonsensical; I don't think anyone even remotely knowledgeable would recommend a reinstall in that case. Just a trip to the package manager app and a restart.

I think there are quite a few reasons why the Linux desktop isn't more common, but "need to reinstall to fix issues" certainly isn't one of them.

They cost people a lot of time and grief over a goddamn boutique phone, that they were warned would have antenna issues, by the guy that was...Apple's most senior antenna expert, Rubén Caballero, and he was ignored.

When physics caught up the Apple marketing, it took months for Apple to roll out a cheap bumper guard and acted like they were doing everyone a favor.

They never reimbursed people who bought a case to mitigate the issue. They did reimburse those that did have to purchase a rubber bumper.

While you are technically correct, that's about it. The whole thing was a shitshow and Apple acted like the users were the problem until enough of the world mocked them into providing a work-around for a problem that they should have addressed before it was even sold.
Amazing to see WASM in action!

> I'm trying to point out there's a difference between not understanding why a model outputs a specific token, and not understand what the computer is doing under the hood.

Whenever there is trust involved, there is no difference to your point. How you're running the model requires trusting that the model, parser, etc isn't compromised and especially if it can be trusted to behave correctly after training - thus transparent explanations rather than hallucinations and its easy to trick and compromise them to do something else.

Given that we already don't trust the outputs of these AI models, the above security issue make this even worse and untrustworthy. The plain old regular average joe users do not care about the neural network format, etc and will run and open anything without checking regardless even if it is a text file disguised as a program.

Thus, it is entirely no different and we are back to square -1 (with the unexplainable properties of these models that people will try it out and trust its outputs)

In my case, it was a regex supplied by the user. Elm 0.18 had no support for constructing a regex at run-time. So I made a package that wraps native RegExp. When 0.19 was released, I couldn't upgrade because of those 5 lines. The regex package eventually got regex.fromstring(). So I could've upgraded. But at the time I was bumping against limits accessing Intl and I really hated the prospect of begging some maintainer for access to a browser api.

Elm was the most fun I ever had developing a browser app. Then they decided I shouldn't be allowed to develop a ShootMyFoot module, and it stopped being fun overnight.

But one of the beautiful things of living here is to witness (positiv) societal change happening in crazy speed.

It used to be that people smoked everywhere, 10 years ago certain districts started prohibiting smoking in the street and relegated smokers to certain corners, today this corners have been replaced by closed containers with air conditioning and filtration systems.

It sometimes feels magical…
Well that's getting into the quality of the abstraction. Not all ORMs suffer this, most good ones give you a way around the n+1 problem.
I would say a significant portion of the burden, perhaps the majority, lies on food companies for using so many different types of packaging. Sorting discarded packaging into N bins is exactly the kind of overhead in day-to-day life that a lot of people simply don’t have time for and causes friction that makes it less likely to be adopted by the people who do.

Regulations that greatly limit the total number of packaging types may be of help here.
I’ve noticed that the larger the scale and budget a movies get, the more vacate the film is. A small scale film like The Social Network is much bigger to me than Dune 2 which I recently saw through a friend working in the film industry. Dune 2 is one of the largest scale films ever made but its thoughts and ideas are equally small in the other direction. It’s valid to be mesmerized by the technical feat and the sheer scale of it but it’s empty calories.
That used to be part of the excitement.
This question is likely to be answered with opinions rather than facts and citations. This question has already been asked, and answered. As currently written, the question lacks enough detail or clarity to be answered. Your question is too broad or has multiple parts and needs to be distilled into one. I'm voting to close this question because it has no effort to solve the problem.

A little while back I got into the NES homebrew scene, and I recall seeing a game, (Bobl) that had incredible water physics - way more than system would have been capable of calculating. It turns out that it was a Lookup table and it really opened my eyes as to what you can accomplish with them and how simple tools can look like very complex processes.

Why would you consider this _a business_ in a first place?

I'll distill all those questions into one: who pays to make sure that despite all potential and real failures the venture is profitable? Taxpayers. That's why those rates are so high, you're paying upfront for that possibility. Getting all the downsides and zero upsides.

It's like getting extended warranty on a toaster or any item you can easily buy ten of. The expected value is strictly negative.

Dealing with insurance is not something government should be doing anytime; it's way too big for that.
Children of Dune was on the same level. Both were, by far, the pinnacle of Sci-fi (Syfy) channel during their glory days. Stargate is cool, Farscape is too, BSG is my all time favorite, but this - this was BSG before they had the budget. This enabled them to do BSG. They knocked it out of the park. Twice.
I get burned out for the day easily so I just knock out the work as early and fast as I can to stay productive, then chill. After meetings I'm useless productivity-wise so that 4 hour block is really important to me. I play after work, pursuing whatever without feeling a way about it.
It seems that reviewers like this are still on the Paul-as-hero boat. It's easy to take the first film and even the book that way, despite the premonitions of future destruction and disaster that exist in both, and I assume part 2 is going to largely continue the same way. But I really hope Villeneuve has the guts to hold true to Herbert's overall message about "heroes", where after defeating the evil Harkonnens and the bad old Emperor, Paul basically turns to the Fremen and says, "Ok, warm up the planet sterilizer weapons, the jihad begins now."

Capturing the sense of inevitability that Paul feels as his prescience leads him, one obvious next step at a time, to the killing of billions and establishment of himself as galactic despot, that's a hard thing in film.

GGUF, the Long Way Around
That's the beauty of different systems. You always lose functionality no matter which way you switch. A Windows user might miss PowerShell + COM on Linux. A Linux user would miss having access to the filesystem on iOS. An iOS user misses the ubiquitous URL scheme for sharing code and data when they switch to Windows or Linux. I still miss Rexx and the object-oriented workplace shell of OS/2.

I'm sure if you gave GNOME an extended trial, you would adapt and find some things you actually prefer.
Lynch's world building, Captain Picard vs Sting, rather well-acted, Toto's soundtrack, that intro (oh man, that intro).. what's not to like! I see it as completely different takes, I prefer the old one - has soul to it. Kind of same with old Blade Runner vs 2049. Newer films are technically awesome, yet kind of vapid. And, yes - tastes are different, but let's talk in 20 or so years and see which stick. Old ones already stuck. Kind of similar to how people shat on SW prequels, yet they're still with us in popular culture, new ones not very much.
Yes, as stated in the README... I would love to. There seem to be some libraries to parse the .fit file, so when I have more time, I'll take a look at that.

Excel online still struggles to work with databases well. In classic disruption theory (the real theory by Clayton, not the TechCrunch 'disruption'), these products have less features but are simpler and can win the low-end of the market then move up-market over time.

There are so many confounding variables, I'm not sure where to start. White men tend to be taller than many other ethnicities. How does it correlate with family wealth - growing up malnourished stumps your growth - short people are probably more likely to be poor.

I can well imagine a real effect. Tall people have more of a presence and gravitas which can't hurt, but without any further analysis, this is barely an anecdote.

eARC is important not only because cable management and CEC, but because it's the only high bitrate digital audio output on most TVs: the only other commonly available digital audio output, TOSLINK, is limited to two-channel PCM[1], AC3, and DTS.

[1] While the physical TOSLINK cable is able to support higher channel counts via ADAT[2], I'm not aware of any TVs with ADAT support.

Similarly, while 192 kHz / 24-bit TOSLINK support is common in pro audio and audiophile gear, the standard only requires 48 kHz / 20-bit. I imagine most TVs output 48 kHz / 20-bit, if only for the sake of configuration simplicity: TOSLINK is strictly unidirectional, so automatically negotiating format support beyond mandatory minima is impossible.

> there's ultimately a limit to how effective personal cars can be when population density exceeds a certain level

I think the other issue in the US is the opposite: below a certain density, it's hard for public transit to be effective. Once car-oriented development has sprawled out with suburbs and stroads, the distance between you and a transit-stop is gonna be higher, riders per mile of route will be lower, etc. And when housing prices push people to move further out from city centers (which is important not just for commuting to jobs but access to stores/schools/everything) the problem just gets worse.

And that's true, but why do they limit it to 100B tokens? And why not provide the loss curves in the end to show that both models have converged? What's not proven to me, in this paper, is the ability of the model to scale and generalize to bigger datasets. It's easy to see how a model of sufficient size can overcome the quantization bottleneck, when trained on such a small dataset. Which is perhaps why smaller variations failed.

Dutch sure sounds a lot more like English than Swedish does. The famous "Geef me een klap papa" comes to mind. Quite a bit of Dutch sounds nearly as close to English as, say, Scots does. "Zet de televisie aan." "Waar ben je?" "Ik heb honger, wanneer gaan we eten?"

I've probably seen Dune 1984 too many times to have an objective opinion, but I feel like the acting in Dune Part 1 is comparitively very very muted. All the characters (minus Duncan) seem bored the whole time, which is disappointing in relation to the bombastic Shakespearean performances in the Lynch film.

On the topic of the interesting engineering puzzle...

I went to a university job fair in 2014 and Heinz had a booth there. I remember asking the recruiter what kind of positions they were recruiting for, and her only response was "We are looking for top talent. Are you top talent?" I was pretty thrown off by that, so pressed her with "Top talent in what? I know statistics and programming, do you need anyone who can do that?" Her only response was "well, do you think you're top talent?" I think I tried to ask a couple more times what they were actually looking for, but she just kept repeating the top talent line. I think I eventually said something like "I think I'm pretty good" before dropping off my résumé, grabbing a pickle-shaped lapel pin, and walking away.

Totally weird experience, and very different from the usual job fair recruiter. If it wasn't for the lapel pin that I still have, I wouldn't even be sure it was a real memory.

I sometimes wonder if my life would've been different if I had had the self-esteem and confidence to look her right in the eye and say "yes, I am top talent".

I also wonder if Heinz is actually hiring and retaining "top talent". When I look at their ketchup bottle design innovations over the years, I wonder if maybe they really are!

Has anyone here ever interviewed there or worked there? Are you in fact top talent? Were you surrounded by top talent? Is a packaged food company secretly where all the really smart people go for jobs? That article about the Unilever ice cream factory the other day makes me think there's more to it than meets the eye.

Nit: x86 has acquire/release and seq_cst for load/stores (it technically also has relaxed, but it is not useful to map it to c++11 relaxed).

The Future of Artificial Intelligence
AI is all around us—recognizing our faces in photos, transcribing our speech, constructing our news feeds, navigating our driving routes, answering our search queries, and much more. But rapidly improving AI is poised to play a much bigger role in all of our lives. In this lecture, AI expert Melanie Mitchell will demystify how current-day AI works, how “intelligent” it really is, and what our expectations—and concerns—about its near-term and long-term prospects should be.

> IMHO the difference is that KDE took the classic Windows desktop as starting point and has developed it into something that's now actually better than the Win10/11 desktop.

In some areas KDE has also taken inspiration from macOS, and imo significantly improved over the original. The best example in my view is the Present Windows desktop effect, which is fundamentally a take on Exposé/Mission Control but massively outdoes those equivalents in usability by adding fuzzy filtering as you type to select windows. A less appealing version of that (Contexts) is something I have to pay money to a proprietary app developer for on macOS.
