Back in my youth, when I was time rich and cash poor, this kind of tinkering was fun and a good way to improve the machine I was using.

Now that I have more disposable cash, but waaay less time, I couldn't imagine "wasting my time" doing this sort of thing. These days I want to -use- the computer, not spend time trying to convince it to work.

Incidentally it's the exact same journey with my cars. 35 years ago I was fixing something on my car most weekends. Now I just want to turn the key and go somewhere.

Hackintosh served the purpose for its time. It'll be fondly remembered. But I think the next generation of tinkerers will find some other thing yo capture the imagination.
Gold can be made into currency, aka a coin. As can silver or bronze or zinc.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debasement as an example of what happens when gold ends up a currency.
Thank you

I am imagine something more complicated, like having a chatbot with the personality of the character in the book answering hypothetical questions. Like asking gandolf why he didn't send the eagles to drop the ring!!!!
Or asking dumbledledore why don't he create horcrux himself and fight voldemore, since he was able to defeat him once at the ministry of magic.

So here is kind of my understanding of pre gpt3 like models like BERT

1. Bert or any sentence transformer models generate embedding on the entire book (search space)

2. You pipe in your query to the same model generate embedding (query)

3. you do ANN or bruteforce KNN (lsh, pq) on top of the search space embedding with your query, essentially finding dot product with lowest value

What I am having trouble understanding is using sentence transformer does not give you answer using the character of the book, but LLM does.

How do I build a chat app that do that?
Do I just use openai api? Or can I train my own llm or use off the shelf llm like llama?
"Once lit, the phase indicates nearby drivers should simply follow the car (AV or human) in front of them, instead of trying to anticipate something like a yellow light’s transition time to red."

I dont know what this means but it sounds similar to the green wave light that we have here in the netherlands. All it is is a lit green double wave that tells you that the very next traffic lights going straight will be guaranteed to be green. This way you dont have to anticipate breaking even if you can see the green light has been on for an entire cycle.

This is usefull because you can chain intersections so the worst case is that you have to wait two cycles on the entire chain, coming on and going off.
It says something about the myopic obsession with growth and the ignorance of global cultural diversity that is prevalent in Silicon-Valley-ish tech capitalism that such a statement is deemed notable enough to deserve a headline and that the interviewee is expected to justify it.

No startup "needs" to expand across anything. A startup is a business in its early stages. A business satisfies a need in given market, and not all markets are the same. A business can cease to grow and yet continue providing value for society, its owners and its employees.
lol “potentially compromising as a solution” is not the extent of his commentary on US-Russia relations. I’ll leave it there to avoid a political discussion, as I’m likely biased anyway after spending 8 years convinced that the Russian government is engaged in cyberwarfare through western influencers and social media. So confirmation bias is very possibly leading me to libel!

Either way we agree that SpaceX is definitely 100% American no doubt.
So despite the new clothing, Germany is still a conservative digital dinosaur underneath, pretending to be cool and modern. "How do you do fellow Kinder?"[1]

It's funny to me how German speakers thing it's cool and modern to use English words throughout their German. But when I as a native English speaker read Denglish, it looks about as cool as socks w/ sandals.
I strongly disagree re:Apple software. We must have drastically different usage scenarios, since I find it a pleasure. What software do you have issue with, and why?

Could you elaborate? I find web browsing and moving files around to be practically an equivalent experience between mac os, windows, most linux distros.
> There is no way that only 50% of comments on the internet are sock puppets of one kind or another.

No way? Why not? First the content doesn't have to be original, just a variation of some provided template, then it doesn't have to be unique. Now combine this with automated tools and voila - even a single person can produce a lot of content but now multiple it with multiple accounts re-sharing it and you can increase it by order of magnitude.
What is spelling but putting into letters what is heard? If you can give it the text, then it's not spelling is it, it would be copying! I think you want to give it ideas, that will translate into words, which is certainly not spelling. It's creating. SD models start with simply static, and it's asked to find some pattern and expand upon it until it matches the pattern better. Letters on a sign for example are not right or wrong by their placement, but upon judgement by someone who has the knowledge of the language. Sale might mean 'salt' if you speak italian, but it might mean there's a discount for a short period of time if you speak english. Sensibel might seem like a misspelling if sensible if you speak english, but it's perfectly correct spelling in German.

My suggestion is to use Image to Image, start with the text of your son's name, and give it some gaussian noise background, and then paint out the parts you want to keep.
The US should act in its best interests, not China's. What's the advantage in helping a geopolitical adversary who has not demonstrated much capacity for "playing by the rules"?
It's also beneficial as it'll mean everyone drives at the speed limit.
The flaw with the final conclusion is this counterexample:

0, 00, 000, 0000, … are all mapped to red
1, 11, 111, … are all mapped to blue

Neither set can construct all infinite binary sequences because red cannot construct infinite 1s, blue cannot construct infinite 0s.

Also, Nigeria is a huge country (population 230 million). US startups aren't necessarily expected to expand even as far as Canada or Mexico. It's not clear why there should be an analogous expectation on a Nigerian startup.
Apple never licenced their OS to run on non Apple hardware, with exception of when it was on death bed shortly before the NeXT reverse acquisition, and Steve Jobs killing all agreements with clone makers.

Hardly the same of the current DMA requirements.
What if I have a performance problem I need to fix now?
It can still be useful for those looking to run older versions of macOS for some reason or another. If there’s PPC applications that one wants to run for example, you can piece together a Snow Leopard hackintosh from used parts that will run PPC apps through Rosetta faster than any real PPC mac ever could while be also being easier and more cheap to maintain.

From time to time I’ll consider building such a box as a time-frozen “zen machine” that runs OS X 10.6 or 10.9, is disconnected from modern distractions, and will never be subject to the disruptions that software updates can bring.

This is intriguing to me for the performance and correctness reasons, but also if it makes the result more dev friendly than the urllib.parse tiple-ish-object result thing.
Except that Apple breaks audio applications with every new release of macOS and has for years. And, it's just a matter of time before Apple kills basically every DAW and VST when they finally kill off OpenGL on macOS.

Edit: What I have said is true here, so I'm unsure why the downvotes.
I am pleased to read how the report points out that BankID's lack of competition is an issue to be concerned about. One point of the id is "för att garantera att det finns en svensk e-legitimation som utfärdas till privatpersoner utan beaktande av rådande kommersiella villkor." - to guarantee there's Swedish electronic identification which is issued to private people without regard to prevailing commercial rules."

It doesn't affect using Swish, being able to enter my gym, using an unstaffed kiosk which requires a mobile phone to enter, etc.

It would seem you don't understand how either work. They are basically opposites in how they actually work.

Docker layers are completely independent from each other. A docker layer is a sha256 sum of that layer. Separately there is an image manifest, which is also fetched with a sha256 of that manifest, states the order of the layers and at runtime those layers are stacked up on each other.

With docker, there is no explicit dependency chain. A layer is just a tarball or some JSON. Some tooling can take advantage of this fact. How nix builds docker images takes advantage of this.

Nix on the other hand, the output hash is not tied to the output hash, because the output hash is irrelevant to how it was produced. You also cannot know in advance the output hash of something. IE. If I do say "echo foo > bar.txt", I cannot know the sha256 sum of bar.txt until the code runs. But before the code runs I can know the hash all the inputs that will create bar.txt.

This fundamental difference means two builds, executing the same code can share the outputs. Provided that the build environment is trust worthy.

On Portugul, it's worth asking why it's failing after many years of being such a success that the model was copied around the world. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/07/07/portugal-dru...

> After years of economic crisis, Portugal decentralized its drug oversight operation in 2012. A funding drop from 76 million euros ($82.7 million) to 16 million euros ($17.4 million) forced Portugal’s main institution to outsource work previously done by the state to nonprofit groups, including the street teams that engage with people who use drugs. The country is now moving to create a new institute aimed at reinvigorating its drug prevention programs.

The asker didn't ask for a very scientific answer. They've come across a limitation and are asking why. Any answer is still an answer, sorry if it didn't match your criteria.
Linux ships with a realtime kernel patchset these days, so the only issues there have to do with hardware- and proprietary VST support. With the newer Pipewire audio server you don't even need to set up JACK.
Even PL/I has better string handling than C.
Now that their MacBooks come with 120hz screens with acceptable response time (unlike their early 120hz screens), the value proposition for hackintosh isn't as alluring for me. Previously, I've been worried about the T2 chip and the trend of Apple locking down MacOS, which also turned out to be less of an issue that I thought. The only area that saw significant retreat in macos is gaming.

They still use “agents” to make Opus. This is fancy syntax sugar for “while ! EOF; read next chunk of data of size N, do XY or Z with it”

It’s recursion and memoization to avoid fractalness all the way down. We keep trying to make these language bubbles that mean something but they mean nothing to the grand churn of the universe.

It's really not much of a time commitment. You can just lookup hardware with full compatibility and build a desktop that "just works".

And in my town the main road has an anti-green-wave. If you‘re not excessively speeding (like three times the speed limit), you‘re guaranteed that every second or third light will be red.

Citizens asks the town administration if they have heard of green wave. Yes, they have. Having a red light every few intersections is supposed to curb speeding.

It‘s beyond stupid, especially since people living in the houses lining that road have enough noise and exhaust already.

> He is probably one of the few to have ...

Really? Did he say so him self or how is that known.
I am sensitive to low frequency sounds . The thing that seems to work for me is to play thunderstorm sounds, with isolating earphones. Because this sound has a high degree of randomness across the frequency spectrum, and its spectrum varies randomly over short timescales as well, external noise is masked even if it's still audible - because the brain can easily fit it into the thunderstorm pattern, and so doesn't get triggered by it.

Your milage may vary of course
Other than trying out the MacOS for the first time to learn how bad it is, why would anyone make a hackintosh? Windows and Linux are infinitely better operating systems, more open, with better backwards compatibility, more hardware support, independence from vendor servers and more available software.

A reminder that with MacOS you need internet connection in order to re-install the OS as it requires activation just like iPads and iPhones. Imagine one day Apple stops supporting your Macbook model, shuts down its activation server and your computer turns into brick after something goes wrong and it requires a factory reset.
It's not my idea, it's an attempt to explain the intent of the sanctions, I'm very against the sanctions for a multitude of reasons. If you see my other comments on this page you can see where I've stated that I would much rather, as you suggest, the West gracefully step down from a hegemon and take our seat at the multi-polar world where we can focus on cleaning our own house.

> In functional programming, a type is just a function that returns a list of possible values

Its literally not; there may be a language which does this or something close (actually, I’ve seen narrow, purpose-focussed relational languages where this is the case, and all types are enumerable), but it's definitely not generally the case in functional languages.
Not saying you’re wrong in the context of your locale, but there are many places around the world that are not plagued with these problems and have dealt with them in very different ways.

Nope, you just have to know it's fixing a real problem today.

Having a query regress in performance below a KPI would be worse than not taking advantage of a further optimization in the future, due to out of date hint.

> Good engineering means having the intellectual curiosity to exhaust these possibility before resorting to hints

Why is that better?

Luckily we don't have to rely on such grandiose claims. Just try it out. If you find a query that you can tune better than the planner for your data set, then it's a better outcome.
I’m inclined to think that even if every drug on the street were pure, the problem would remain.

> Gold has always been a currency […]

Not in Mesoamerican civilizations (Aztec, Mayans). Also not for the Chinese, who used silver for currency (and gold for ceremonial purposes).

Around the Mediterranean, gold became a currency 'only' around 500BC with the Lydians—which is a very long time after the first economic records we have, which take back to Ur III, the Babylonians (Hammurabi), Ancient Egypt.
I don't understand. Do you imagine there isn't a young generation of time rich cash poor tinkerers now? Why would the idea of a hackintosh suddenly become obsolete because you can afford one now and don't have time? Nothing about your statement logically follows.
Homebrew is a nightmare. Nearly every development tool on macOS requires some sort of workaround, usually found in the depths of forums or StackOverflow. Apple has also positioned macOS to be the absolute worst platform for graphics libraries. They only support Metal and an outdated version of OpenGL which they'll remove entirely at one point. Windows directly supports DirectX, Vulkan, and OpenGL.

Go ahead and try to rename iTunes because there's no other way to keep it from opening when your non-Apple Bluetooth headphones connect. Good luck.

There's not even a built-in way to uninstall programs in macOS. It's bizarre.

Or the fact that macOS doesn't implement basic protocols for external monitors, making macOS work terribly with non-Apple monitors.

It's counterproductive which means it is not in the best interest of the US and actually in the best interest of China. It only makes sense to me as prelude to a war and as part of a 'timing attack', if there is no subsequent war to then all that has happened is the creation of an indigenous industry for much less cost to China than what it would have been if China had tried to do it by itself without sanctions. To be clear, I very much don't want this war, for one I think the West would lose, and even if we 'won' the middle class would be crushed without access to cheap chinese goods.
Glad to hear you're doing the right thing by yourself. I regularly go back and watch some of the mini series, or porting videos. I refer many graduate engineers to learn from your high display of clarity and pragmatism that you constantly display.

If the hacking comes back some day, I'll be delighted, but just wanted to say thanks for the fact that we have such a wonderful backlog thanks to your long term efforts.

Cannot relate at all. "Move files around" is essentially the same on Windows and Mac, except on the Mac I have a UNIX shell. Browsers also behave exactly the same on every platform, and Safari is snappy and the least memory-hungry of all. What is it about?
