> Because you are not able to pick and choose what humanity tries out, so shall we stop entirely?

I don’t see anything that dictatorial in their suggestion.

There’s clearly something wrong in the current LLM based ecosystem. They take gigawatt-hours to train and digest the entire corpus of the internet to produce a model that writes at, what, the level of an erudite college freshman?

> not focusing on ever increasing the size of ai models, so that we don't need to build all those power-hungry ai training datacenters?

I read the italic bit as not a command to stop, but a suggestion to come up with better algorithms. Which researchers are presumably working on. Hopefully chatGPT & friends don’t suck up all the oxygen.
Hi there! I'm from DBOS :) Just wanted to clarify that we don't use Temporal internally.

We provide strong guarantees (like exactly-once transactions) and new features (like database time-travel, you can replay any production trace in a local dev environment). We also believe there's a lot of value in the ease-of-use and simplicity that comes from our architecture: it takes only a few minutes to deploy an app to the cloud.

Check out this 3-minute video for a quick overview of what we offer:

IIRC, the goal of that effort is simply to violate the blood brain barrier, which may have therapeutic value only under very tightly managed circumstances since violating it likely will yield at least as many demerits as merits since the BBB is essential to keep the brain free of blood-borne toxins.

So does perpetual motion :shrug: but my point is Triton is not an abstraction in the least. Source: 1) I spent 6 months investigating targeting other backends 2) Phil himself said he doesn't care to support other backends https://github.com/openai/triton/pull/1797#issuecomment-1730...
It would also open up a trivial hole to exploit this. Lots of creative work, especially written work, is not done as work for hire. That would expand more the more you disincentivize that categorization.
You're comparing a $300 product from a company that profits on analyzing their customers to a $3500 product from a hardware company.

This is not a fair comparison. They're motivated differently.

Furthermore, the "anti-account" viewpoint is making a privacy issue out of a pinch or friction point. Accounts are required for both devices. If you bought a device which allowed you to buy apps, the experience would be horrible without an account. If most people are willing and it's a better experience, it makes sense to force everyone into the same rails to reduce implementation cost. If it increases revenue, there's yet another reason to do it. It's ridiculous to be in an ideological minority and expect a company to bend to that when it's not in their best interest.

While I prefer Apple products because <yada yada>, Meta and Apple are doing the same thing here. The only difference is that Apple has higher current trustworthiness. This is also the reason they can release a $3500 headset.
> most of those would fall between "still needs to perform labor for a living" and "could live purely off of accrued capital, no longer needing to perform labor"

You’re still confusing wealth with power. Plenty of people who never need work again are not elites, e.g. Steve Wozniak. And plenty of elites don’t have enough saved to survive extended periods of not working, e.g. many in television or politics.

> don't know too many university presidents / deans / provosts who personally control enough wealth to have the power to change the direction of their society

Larry Summers.

They don’t wield wealth as power. They wield influence. Same as how a U.S. Senator need not be wealthy to be powerful; if anything, they wield their power to produce wealth.
Broadcast stations are the epitome of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it, especially if it's going to cost money". They also do not like roll your own solutions. They want a rock solid piece of equipment typically from someone like Snell&Wilcox or Tektronix type of devices. They do not want to deal with "are we on the air" type questions because some one's nephew's science experiment can't be maintained. If there's a chance that something can go out that's non-standard, fines can be levied, and those can get expensive.
Not that I disagree with you, but…

> A quine is a program that outputs its own source code, not a program that outputs itself in binary form. I’d therefore argue though that a “proper” quine should in this case output not the actual ASCII bytes, but the hex code for the bytes.

Punch cards could legitimately be called source code. Those weren’t in hex, but rather in binary (at least the ones I’m remembering).

> Not sure where Zola can fit dynamic CSP mechanics, but there might be a solution one day: https://www.netlify.com/blog/general-availability-content-se...

That’s how I got it to work yesterday, Netlify apparently has a dynamic and Nonce generator per request, which is something Zola don’t and won’t have unless you have the nonce hardcoded which is useless.

> might have figured out how to deploy Cactus with a strict CSP. It can't find the room tho, even when I deploy following the official guide, so this looks like something on their end (waiting for confirmation)

True the room thing didn’t show up for me.
Looking at your repo, I see you have it in your head as a meta tag, not the toml file, interesting approach, I can see how there’s an advantage of that since you have more control with variables, but I found that if you scan your site for CSP headers, none of them shows up, not sure if that’s a good or bad thing, nonetheless, will try it and compare it to the nonce way for a while see which one is better, thanks for sharing it!

> It's actually pretty handy; it makes the directory structure cleaner, and asset access is more direct within post pages.

Exactly, it was going to be a deal breaker for me when I migrated to Zola around a year ago, having all assets in one directory is just chaotic.
Yes, but while I can create a custom NixOS ISO that auto-install on my desktop my final production desktop I can't do the same with OSX or Windows, I can craft a big infra with very expensive proprietary software, largely overkill and still my system would be a hybrid. *BSD allow custom ISO, so most GNU/Linux distros but they are FAR more complex than a simple file and nix-build '<nixpkgs/nixos>' -A config.system.build.isoImage -I nixos-config=iso.nix to create the image.

I've used a discrete set of OS, back than also Irix (an old O₂ given to me as a teenager), Solaris (9, OpenSolaris SXDE, SXCE and OpenIndiana), I've tried Nexenta (IllumOS based on Debian userland), Milax, Belenix, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, various GNU/Linux and Windows. NONE of them have the simplicity of declarative OSes like NixOS/Guix System and I insist, -OS/-System because just the package manager it's not enough.

I manage infra with Ansible, Fog, Saltstack, have used cfengine and puppet in the past. None of them can compete.

The reality is a terrible sorry state of things. NixOS/Guix System are the sole LESS ugly for the modern time then the rest, like zfs for the storage confronted with anything else, hammer (DragonFly) included.
That sounds like the pg stats are messed up somehow. Try running explain analyze foo to see if it changes things.

Postgres doesn’t automatically create indexes - I bet the others have some implicit index on organization_id, created_at. Otherwise they would be giving bad results in other cases. I don’t see why you can’t just make that index in postgres.
From the US perspective it's different. I'm living in the US, I think we're being petty, disrespectful and I think the action is pathetic.

This is not about China resenting the sanctions. You already have the right attitude This is about a US citizen looking at the US and feeling ashamed at our own virtues.

We should share technology and work together. Not fear one nation surpassing the other.
Additional reasons:

- there is less alternative hardware I want to use. I want Apple Silicon processors, materials, and there just isn't much high quality competition.

- Because of inflation the Apple premium isn't as high as it used to be. You get a Mac mini or MacBook Air at very competitive prices (RAM is still painful).

- Linux Desktop software is more competitive and fills some of the roles that needed macOS before.

I’m not sure why they need a fourth signal. It seems like the main benefit is permitting faster & more dynamic transitions between go & stop, both for cars & pedestrians.

If you’re confident enough that your routing / traffic signals are going to be respected by the AVs on the road, why not just use the green -> yellow -> red lights to signal what’s happening to the humans (with appropriately shortened yellows because you know the targeted AVs are going to stop), and still reap the benefits of your interconnected AVs for better traffic flow?
Not sure all jobs in software are white collar. Some are blue.

Consider a hierarchy:

- coder: translates requirements into code

- developer: comes up with software to meet specified goals

- engineer: decides what why and how to do, buy vs. build, do this with humans or software, approach and materials ... understands the multi modality stuff of which the outcome is made and deploys it effectively

"Devs" or "Engineers" who are actually "Coders" are at risk, as that work is not really "white collar". Turning requirements into code is piece work on an assembly line, blue collar at a keyboard.

LLMs are already better than most of those, even though it's engineers here who are saying LLMs don't cut it. Both things are true.

What engineers might want to wrap their head around is using LLMs as apprentices, leverage, force multipliers, so a "team lead" is leading a team of junior coders, LLMs that type.
Me too. I'm currently watching the emulator hacking playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMOpZvQB55bfk92aBKZ8p...
True. To be honest this is just based on having spent a lot of time half-asleep (for science), and trying to remember what's going on, and imagining that I'm better at it than you. I may be dead wrong. I get the impression of a process of rationalization at the point of waking up (which I like to do slowly). But then, you got an equally persuasive impression of a vivid detailed dream, probably, so at this point it's just one impression against another, that's qualia for you.
Per the bug report, all versions since Java 8 are affected.
As a doctor, I would never use this with a 3rd party LLM provider. Imho this needs to be restricted to a self-hosted and self-administrated instance in my hospital. It doesn't get more sensitive than anamnesis.

I don't know but my absolute favorite when I recognize it's a dream, and I've "trained" myself to do that is to say: "Nice, this is a dream, so I can fly!". It's an awesome, awesome, awesome feeling. Usually doesn't last long but it's a cool thing to do.
Nice propaganda. Meanwhile China is building islands in the South China sea and provoking violent encounters with fishermen and coast guards, causing nearly everybody in SEA to build stronger military ties with the USA.

Is the signals change in macOS likely to affect JIT-based systems other than the OpenJDK JVM?
Bad news for the indie music scene using these, where they just want to be able to run their VSTs and DAWs. Some will switch back to macs, so worth it for apple I guess.
What's nice about tests is that well-written ones make those assumptions clear. Then, in code review, it's easier to say "what about this scenario? what then?"
I’m from Canada but still I went to one in Iowa, called Driftless Integrative Psychiatry. I can whole heartedly recommend it, the therapist is an absolute gem of a human being. It’s maybe on the bit more expensive side but it was a one off expense and has been one of the best decisions we’ve ever made.

There’s lots popping up now though. Even in Canada I thought we’d have trouble getting support from our family doctor but she was actually supportive so now if we look to do any more can just get referral from the GP here and do it in toronto.

Definitely do hope you give it a try, might be just what your SO has been looking for. Also seriously don’t discount the weighted blanket!
It doesn’t really make sense to transfer the concept of first sale to digital goods. Even assuming a scheme that allows a library to fully control lending so that only one copy is in use at a time, a digital copy is not going to wear out. So publishers lose out on sales of popular titles when a library would need to refresh a physical copy.
It would be interesting to see how feasible it is to run that on an Arm workstation, e.g. an Ampere Altra. Or going the other way and trying to squeeze macOS on to the latest Raspberry Pi.
I can't find the comment, but a PipeWire dev mentioned in the gitlab comments a bit back that a lot of pipewire's advancement towards video (beyond the basics, which are there!) is gated around getting Vulkan support into a good spot, as that's how they intend to do a lot of the video conversion & processing. Ah, here it is; talking rtp specifically but feels like a general need here,

> We're not into RTP video yet, mostly because Vulkan conversion stuff is still WIP. Without scaling/format conversion it's quite hard to play around with video

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/issues/34...

Vulkan converters/processors landed early February, which is great news towards that end. Video was also mentioned as a future focus by author Wim Taymams in his post 1.0 FOSDEM talk,

https://www.phoronix.com/news/PipeWire-Plans-2024

Really really cool days coming where audio & video are super super malleable/pluggable and fast subsystems on Linux. Also cool seeing excitement around networked audio standards kicking up; there's been good progress & clear interest in AES67 & other related networked av items (SMPTE-2110 av, NMOS discovery/management).
Bit of a flip, not too long ago young women were dying their hair grey/silver.
Effort and result are not synonyms. YC investors take a big risk - a lot of these startups will have well intentioned and hard working founders and they will fail anyway. VCs provide a valid service. They make money (if they are good guessers and are also lucky) and founders make money (if they work hard and smart and are also lucky). Everyone wins.
Ok, I have never told anyone this, but I also sometimes wake up and “see” like a waterfall effect over my vision. It only happens very rarely and only for less than a minute after I get woken from a deep sleep. It is not unlike a moving sensation or water moving over my eyes. I realized that it is probably fluid moving over my visual cortex and being interpreted as vision. Seems weird and I have nothing to back it up on, but it has happened multiple times over my lifetime and the sensation is exactly the same every time.
You don't. Those scripts will just fail forcing you to rewrite them. This is why some people trying to create new packages often complain, because they need to patch up original build for given application to not do those things.

There are still ways that package will not be fully reproducible, for example if it uses rand() during build, Nix doesn't patch that, but stuff like that is fortunately not common.
It takes longer for a physical copy to wear out than copyright terms should last to begin with. Also, you're allowed to repair books -- because it's your book.
The stated goal for the Starship is to be able to go to orbit and come back and then refuel and do another round trip within the same day. Sometimes twice a day. And to keep doing that for a long period of time.

Compared to that, just keeping a Starship fueled for a long period of time, then emptying it, performing various checks, and refueling it for another period of duty seems quite mild.

I think it just boils down to what they were trained on, some models do better when the training sets are more specific even if they're smaller sometimes, so the engineers chase better wholesale performance while leaving some of the weirder edge cases to be cleaned up later eg text generation. maybe start with the image and try adding the text after in a separate prompt if you haven't already?
I don't get why you would ever want to do a Hackintosh this way... Apple has great hardware but ABYSMAL software. I prefer Windows or any of the top 5 Linux distros on any day that ends with y. They are being carried hard by their top-tier CPUs right now.

Something drastic needs to happen to the software side - as it is, it is almost an unusably bad experience to simply browse the web and move files around.

Now if we could have Windows running on an M3 chip with the nice touchpad and battery, that would be really nice.
This is the one 'creative' use case I know of where Macs actually are better - the lag and latency issues on Windows still seem pretty bad. I spent the last week shopping around for an audio interface and every single model had people complaining about driver issues and latency and "random loud static" or other crazy things when using Windows. Always Windows. Crazy stuff.
Conceptually, you can think of a type as a set of values, but no, it’s not how static type-checking is implemented. Some sets are very large (consider the set of all JSON values) and enumerating them isn’t useful.

"real browser" is doing a lot of work in your comment. Feels like you're about to make a no true scotsman argument.

After all what is a browser other than something that browses? What other characteristics make it "real"?

If Ladybird browses, then it must be a browser.
The big difference to me about analog vs digital broadcast is that analog could receive part of the signal and display the poor video and then cleaned up the image/sound as the signal was dialed in. With digital, you're either receiving the stream of 1s&0s or your not. If you miss enough, you have no signal to decode.

I met an old timer satellite dish installer (big giant dish types) that used this to align newly installed dishes. He knew the location of a specific satellite and the frequency it was broadcasting one. He had a tuner dialed in for that channel. Once he found it, he'd move along the one axis to count the number of signals he'd pass until he got to the satellite meant for receiving. He'd then swap out to the receiver for that signal to verify.

The loss of analog just made the playing and experimenting much less fun
> is anyone even using Java on macOS?

IntelliJ IDEA, the product itself, is JVM based.
Huh? I'm very confused as to what you mean. It's a customized version of Android. All the Android multi-tasking and app pause and resume life-cycle stuff should still be in there. Most of their ecosystem is heavy duty games that use all the device's resources (kicking out other apps from the working set), but it's definitely a multi-tasking OS.

I really do not think 3D widgets would require an entirely new OS. The main app switcher would need a revamp and they would need to re-purpose or build out some new app life-cycle callbacks to handle widget focus and interaction but it all seems very doable and not much harder than what they've already done.
In the olden times this used to be called the Jade plan:

I don’t really complain. I had a good run which helped me skip over the worst price/performance Mac lineup that I remember. There’re now plenty good choices within the current crop of M1 / M2 / M3 machines and I’ll be following eBay closely for a good used Mac mini / studio models. Or maybe even splurge on something new.

I've been doing it for ages as Apple hardware holds its resale value exceptionally well. You can use the often exaggerated price premium to your advantage - buy brand new default config at an opportune moment in the upgrade cycle, sell just in time for a coveted new release.

This works even better if you happen to be traveling somewhere where Apple devices are unusually expensive.

I'm still on the M1 Air and will likely sell it just before a M4 release 12-18 months from now. Cost of ownership averages out to <$0.25/day.
