> patches are welcome

That can get tiresome quite quickly. Sometimes you do submit patches but they still don't give you the time of day. Sometimes they don't actually want your code. Sometimes they only accept code from some inner circle you're not part of. You might end up wasting a lot of time only to hit these walls and end up with zero results to show for your efforts. Then one day you might discover that the maintainer committed some suspiciously similar feature to the repository all by himself.

People gotta stop acting like submitting code somehow elevates us above simple users. It really doesn't.

Why not just use `httpx`? If you're not bound to the stdlib, it's a great alternative to `requests` and url parse
I had a similar revelation a few years ago. My giant PC gaming rig blew up again (specifically my 3080 shit itself), a year after having to replace the power supply and requiring the whole thing.

I was just done with faffing around with that kind of thing.

So I bought a (then fairly recently released) Mac Studio, just the plain jane base 32GB model, and couldn’t be happier. So nice to have something virtually silent and energy efficient, instead of jet turbine that drew about 300w at idle.

I 100% do not want a laptop for my primary personal machine, but the big workstation towers are too much.

The Studio is that wonderful Goldilocks zone - performant, bring-your-own input devices, but merely “a bit pricey” and not extravagantly so.

What I am trying to say is that even if computers are going to be able to solve todays database design problems (which I am sceptical of by itself) - we are going to have bigger/more capable databases and other problems that computers are not able to solve.

It is going to happen by definition - people by definition want more than they have today and want to solve unsolved engineering problems ("problems" that machines can solve are simply not problems anymore).

The only way it can end is creation of some overwhelming intelligence (AGI) that would govern (or some might say: enslave) people so that their demands are controlled.
Generally I'm not one to look down upon location-based startups, but the UAE has funded hundreds of such moonshots. They're an importer-state, which isn't a bad thing in a globalized economy but definitely presents it's problems when you want to foster innovation. Today it's cheap to buy OpenAI lunch, but Sam doesn't mince words when he's asking for trillions of dollars. This is a money-pit project that is being solved by throwing money at the problem. Sam Altman is appealing to desperate audiences.

There's definitely the willpower to make this happen, but seriously I doubt Abu Dhabi is any better positioned to outsmart Nvidia and TSMC than the rest of the market is. It would shock me if this played out any different from the other attempts to depose the current leaders.
I agree that the stdlib parser is a mess, but as an observation: replacing one use of it with a (better!) implementation introduces a potential parser differential where one didn’t exist before. I’ve seen this issue crop up multiple times in real Python codebases, where a well-intentioned developer adds a differential by incrementally replacing the old, bad implementation.

That’s the perverse nature of “wrong but ubiquitous” parsers: unless you’re confident that your replacement is complete, you can make the situation worse, not better.

Every company stopped caring, especially the companies who were at the forefront of standards and good web design practices, like Google and Apple.

Google recently retired their HTML Gmail version, mind you, it still worked on a 2008 256MO RAM Android phone with an old Firefox version and it was simply fast... of course the new JS bloated version doesn't, it just kills the browser. That's an extreme example, yet low budget Phones have 2GB of RAM, you simply cannot browser the web with these and expect reasonable performances anymore.

Mobile web sucks, an it's done on purpose, to push people to use "native" apps which makes things easier when it comes to data collection and ad display for companies such as Apple and Google.

I'd hope so (eventually, right now it's pretty bare)! I do currently have a couple of Nextcloud instances (one optimized for availability and another for storage, each with few and different apps) and each hogs more than all the other services combined (many Deno projects, but also containers like Huginn and Gitea, which aren't "simple" or "small").

My goal is to be able to not have to run any Nextcloud instance, and I'm happy to already have shutdown News and Contacts from the "availability" instance! Calendar won't be as "easy" or quick, but I'm looking at this as a long-term thing anyway, no rush.
There's a lot about the old analog video signal that was just fun to me like that. The fact the color signal could be received by a b&w was cool, except for now with hindsight being 20/20 we now have to deal with the ramifications of that cool. Part of it lingered into HD, but we're finally getting rid of most of that baggage with 4K.

Things like the color burst, 1 volt peak-to-peak, whiter than white, how the video signal that was too hot could interfere with the audio that was multiplexed into the RF signal, how a signal could cause the picture to distort when not within spec. Just all sorts of things that were fun to mess with
To be clear, this is a 7B model. It's just trained on 1.7 trillion tokens. At first I was confused why they were making such a big deal of of a massive 1.7T model outperforming a 7B model.

I was too optimistic in estimates for this flight :) and now I feel rather conservative. Third flight really pushed the progress forward - and also uncovered several areas for improvement.

Super Heavy return flight roll control and engine relight issues. What are those gases emitting from Starship after their engines are off on orbit? Orientation issues for Starship. Some thermal protection plates seem to be lost. The payload door open/close - was it successful enough? The cryogenic liquid transfer - Shotwell mentioned they're studying the telemetry to figure out how well it went, do we need improvements there as well? There are probably other issues as well.

I suspect FAA may have more that 17 - the number for the last launch - specific points to address for the next flight. Would be happy to be shown wrong.
Clues that a market is not competitive...

What most impresses me is that this happen on many markets that should be competitive by any sane rationale. Like group buying or hotel booking. Yet, they also do that kind of shit, and people still have nowhere to go.

The world economy became integrated and incredibly rigid.
the semantics make aot compiling based speedup basically impossible. Python is just way too dynamic to do anything with. If you need speed and nice language features, you're much better off using a high level language that has better semantics for speed. Julia is my preferred option, but Lua and a few others fit this niche well.

This isn't about files, this is about plain pages of RAM[0]. It is a basic CPU operation to trap on unmapped pages, and OSes rightfully expose this useful feature (in addition to using it themselves), allowing processes to do many things, from lazily-computed memory regions to removing significant amounts of overhead doing a thing the CPU will inevitably do itself anyway.

I believe the "the truncation of memory mapped files" section is for when the Java process memory-maps a file (as Java provides memory-mapping operations in its standard library, and probably also uses them itself), and afterwards some other unrelated process truncates the file, resulting in the OS quietly making (parts of) the mappings inaccessible. Here the process couldn't even check the permissions before reading (never mind how utterly hilariously inefficient that would be, defeating the purpose of memory-mapping) as the mappings could change between the check and subsequent read anyway.

My bet is that this is the reason they are scoring high in "their" benchmarks. For model which are just trained on completely unlabelled data like llama, 0 shot won't work well.

If you go by the book, it's actually easier to start operations in Rwanda than it is in some states of the US South. And that's being charitable to the Americans. But Rwanda is one small country in Africa that's unlikely to give you the VC level returns that are expected by your investors.

Indeed, there are some Africa-centric startups that started in Africa and ended up expanding outside (Flutterwave is one, started in Nigeria; then there's the massive flop named Swvl which started in Egypt, before expanding to other countries in the Middle East).

It is less regulation in that it gets the governmemt out of interfering with the market outcome (marginal price of dostribution is effectively zero so market outcome without copyright is zero price electeonic diatribution).

The gut microbiome is coming out as linked to so much more in the body that we ever imagined previously. My theory is that I got RA due to depression and horrible diet (because doctors can't exactly tell). Lack of serotonin threw the immune system off.

Seperately, issues with dopamine change how the brain perceives and flags pain signals. In someone with a deficiency and suffering from chronic pain the two are linked.
Not really sure they were much cheaper in the 90s. My first PC was a Dell P90 in 1994, IIRC it cost about $2500.

I don't miss Hackintosh. The one build I made it all looked like it was genuine macOS, but you could feel it wasn't the same. Photoshop felt more laggy. Unless you used an equivalent iMac beforehand as I did you might not notice that something was off. That said this was like ten years ago.

Even if it works well "Hacking" isn't worth it imho, whenevr there is the slightest lag or issue, you just never know. Is it because of the hackintosh, is it a genuine bug in macOS? Is it my hardware? Too many unknowns.
Feynman did not bulshit the answer as the interviewer does not have a capacity to understand the phenomena any deeper and he gives all valid reasons why.

BPD is generally identifiable through relationship dynamics. It's sometimes summed as as "I hate you, don't leave me!". I believe it can be misidentified as bipolar, but the dynamics are very different to most people.

BPD:

- Frantic efforts to avoid real or imagined emotional abandonment.

- Unstable and chaotic interpersonal relationships, often characterized by a pattern of alternating between extremes of idealization and devaluation, also known as 'splitting'.

- Inappropriate, intense anger that can be difficult to control.

- Transient, stress-related paranoid ideation or severe dissociative symptoms.

The first two are incredibly common with BPD and really are the defining characteristics.

I also use Linux on all my machines but that's because (perhaps after years of tinkering) it is currently the most turn-key laptop/desktop OS. Things just work, they don't break without a good reason, and weird limitations don't randomly pop up.
