My father-in-law used to live in Federal Way, Washington, directly south of SeaTac. He swore you got used to it. The noise was amazing -- two parallel runways, his house just about smack in the middle between the two approach paths. Airliners would go over the house every minute (or less!) alternating between the runways. Flaps down all the way, gear down, making incredible amounts of noise. Inside the house you could tolerate it, but it was still noisy. Outside, you had to pause your conversation constantly as a plane went overhead.

SeaTac is well known, and the air traffic never really stops, so there is no way he did not know about it when he bought. I assume it made the house a lot cheaper than it would otherwise be. I guess it is the ultimate demonstration of a free market. For the right price, people will put up with anything.
> I mean are we as humans planning ahead of the new few words? I certainly am not.

Sometimes we do, sometimes not.

Sometimes we just say stock phrases such as "have a nice day", or "you too" that are essentially "predict next word", but if I asked you something you'd never done before such as "how can we cross this river, using this pile of materials" you'd have to think it though.

Some people may use their inner monologue (or visualization) to think before speaking, and others may essentially use "chain of thought" by just talking it though and piecing together their own realizations "well, we could take that rope and tie it to the tree ...".

Stapleton was still east of Denver. I think the siting of DIA was probably more that there was a bunch of flat relatively empty land even further east. It's been a while since I flew into Denver but my recollection is the airport is pretty hell and gone from the city.

> And an airport can’t be too far from a city and remain useful, since travelers need to access the city, workers need to be within commuting distance, and so on. In Canada, Mirabel airport was built 35 miles from Montreal, surrounded by a 79,000 acre buffer zone to prevent any issues of incompatible land use. Mirabel was expected to replace Dorval (today Montreal-Trudeau) as Canada’s main eastern airport, but, in part because of its long distance from the city, this never happened, and Mirabel stopped serving passenger traffic in 2004.

It was because of very stupid mismanagement and lack of connections, not the distance.

The old airport remained opened and continued serving domestic flights, while international ones were moved to Mirabel... which was extremely dumb because Montreal was the major interchange point between international arrivals and smaller locations not served directly by international flights in Canada. So most of the utility of Montreal airport was killed, and airlines started serving other airports in Canada to do the same thing.

Also, there was no good link to the airport - it shouldn't have opened without a direct at least somewhat fast rail link, but it had no good road nor rail connection.

Also, it was put in the wrong place - one of the potential locations was midway between Ottawa and Montreal and could have served both cities, but politicians decided they don't want that.
OCLP gives up on security when it modifies the OS to use drivers from an older OS. Machines which use OCLP don't get firmware updates to patch severe security vulnerabilities.

It's fine if you just need to make use of some hardware for a bit longer with macOS. Linux may be better in terms of security. It might not be a good fit for many.

Hi, the free version should be sufficient for most users; once installed and configured it provides:

- syncing of vault tasks to reminders (once every six hours)

- completion of vault tasks in reminders (immediately when the app is running)

- creation of tasks from reminders (also immediate while running)

- manual syncing whenever you want (click a button to sync vault tasks to reminders if you don’t want to wait for the automatic sync)

If you purchase, you get access to the following nice to have features:

- faster sync intervals (I.e. your vault is checked automatically for new tasks up to every minute)

- deletion sync: if you delete a Reminder the associated Task is deleted from the vault (immediately)

- descriptions for Reminders: the reminder description includes the note name from Obsidian; soon this will also include any child elements of the task.

- ability to only sync tasks with a due date

Like I said the free version should still be useful for most people. Once installed there is also a description of premium features on the purchase screen.

I’ll add these to the App Store description; thanks for the feedback!
They are absolutely planning ahead inasmuch as what they are outputting is setting up a continuation. They’re not even word predictors remember - they are token predictors. Are you really saying that when you prompt an LLM with ‘name a large grey land animal’ and it outputs ‘ele’, it isn’t ‘planning’ that the next token will likely be ‘phant’?

The ‘decision’ to output ‘elephant’ is being made further up the neural network than final token selection - after all, it might want to output ‘Ele’ or ‘an’ (with a view to ultimately outputting ‘an elephant’) or ‘a’ (with a view to ultimately outputting ‘a common large grey land animal is an elephant’), or maybe it has been LoRA trained to output all responses as JSON so the first token it needs to output is ‘{‘… but surely the neural activations for that prompt are firing off ‘elephanty’ messages somewhere in the network, right?

So if there’s some sort of symbol activation ahead of token selection, why would it be hard to believe that a large neural network is forming more complex decisions about what it intends to output, in an abstract way, before it selects how to express itself?

And in what way is that distinct from ‘planning ahead’?
> Germany? (Over)socialist? Are you high?

(from what I researched) To the extent that Germany wouldn't allow me to invoice foreign company as a freelancer, because it's considered false employment.
The state is so nanny that wants to impose their labor protection and social security on people who visibly don't want it.
In other countries, I observe there is a kind of "social contract" (at least for programmers) to allow people work through business entities, pay less taxes and get less protection, if they're competent enough to make this kinds of contracts.

> Fact is there is money to be made by employing these "protected guys", they are certainly not jobless.

They are. Portugal and Spain impose a lot of socialist regulations backed by high taxes, yet they complain about brain drain (pt) and unemployment (es). People don't want to come and open businesses to these very attractive places for relocation. Instead, cold small Estonia gets their startup boom, surprise-surprise.
> the amount of complexity associated with just stamping some glyphs onto a canvas has left me screaming at my laptop on an almost daily basis

This made me laugh because I can relate so much. Inline backgrounds can start in LTR text and end in RTL text, and when I was implementing that I got so frustrated that I had to stop and seriously consider I might have an anger problem.

> Question: did you ever find out what algorithm the various browsers are using to calculate how many words can fit on a given line?

Not sure if I understood the question correctly, but they use a greedy algorithm where the break points in the string are the choices. If your glyphs are scaling and so is the available width, you might have a float precision problem? Browsers use integers for that reason. I'm still using floats.

Scrawl/that PR look extremely cool! I would love to some day support CSS `shape-outside`, which achieves a similar thing to what you have in your PR.
Oh wow. Thanks! Loved watching your videos on YouTube.
This project had a million bug fixes and changes to the code over time so there have been hundreds of models that have been trained / deleted. My methods aren't exactly scientific unfortunately.

I'll do a write up one day but for anyone else interested I have uploaded some information here https://ftp.bytebreeze.dev/ftpuser/

I need to do a serious cleanup to the code and host it somewhere more stable but the raw version of what I have so far can be found there.

If anyone gets it running, keen to hear feedback!

It does bring that to mind, especially given the era he came out of. Likely, however, what he is trying to get at is the distinction between God/not God: existence is something a thing which is not God — a neutrino, a squirrel, a rock — is given, which makes speaking of God as having existence in the same way as those things a mistake, as if the highest thing is just one of those many things which could be enumerated that way. This helps maintain the distinction Tillich is likely aiming at, which is to avoid speaking of God as part of the universe, or in some panentheistic way.

Unfamiliar with this, but are you suggesting that the airport would cover the railroad, or simply just finish before it?

If it covers it, then from the satellite pictures it would be trivial to bury the line in a cut-n-cover tunnel for little expense.

The fact that a rail line runs there already seems ideal for a modern airport.
If you must know some reasons I got banned is horrible awful terrible evil opinions such as

- suggesting that COVID-19 was the result of a lab leak due to not following safety protocols

- Questioning if the full shutdown of schools for a disease which had a relatively low mortality rate in children was the best decisio and if we fully had considered the impacts.

- suggesting that predators could abuse gender self identification laws to gain access to new victims.

- and one satirical posts advocating "let us grill it all in a beautiful nuclear inferno."

It seems though you are suggesting there are only a narrowly defined opinions that are acceptable to hold and that deviations outside of those are so heretical that should not be allowed to exist.
> Shouldn't it timeout only when the server is no longer ACK-ing packets?

That's exactly what happens. The server ACKs data until it fills its write buffer, and then stalls unresponsive until the entire buffer is flushed to disk. If it takes longer to flush the buffer to disk than the client's timeout, it gives up.

I have personally watched this happen via wireshark where the server doesn't ACK for more than 10 minutes.
Or even next to a rail line.

Not a commuter train, but here's a neighborhood where the rail goes right down the street. Literally freight trains driving past your front yard.

They do mention covariates in section 6.1 - specifically how this method doesn’t support them but ideas on how they could in the future such as via stacking:

> In this work, we have focused on univariate time series forecasting since it constitutes the most common of real-world time series use-cases. Nevertheless, practical forecasting tasks often involve additional information that must be taken into account. One example involves covariates, that can be either time-independent (e.g., color of the product) or time-varying (e.g., on which days the product is on sale). Another closely related problem is multivariate forecasting, where historic values of one time series (e.g., interest rates) can influence the forecast for another time series (e.g., housing prices). The number of covariates or multivariate dimensions can vary greatly across tasks, which makes it challenging to train a single model that can handle all possible combinations. A possible solution may involve training task-specific adaptors that inject the covariates into the pretrained forecasting model (Rahman et al., 2020). As another option, we can build stacking ensembles (Ting & Witten, 1997) of Chronos and other light-weight models that excel at handling covariates such as LightGBM (Ke et al., 2017).

> Amiga was a startup that was I understand set to work around the lack of a product development pipeline in Commodore

Amiga Inc. was founded in 1982 by engineers leaving Atari, at a time when Atari was still all-in on the aging 2600, and did yet not have a replacement product in the pipeline. So you identified the right problem at the wrong company.

Amiga's initial goal was to create a chipset for a next-generation console. While they were working on that, they generated revenue by selling 2600 peripherals (like the Joyboard [1]), but eventually got funding from Atari and negotiated a contract to license their new architecture as the basis for future Atari products.

In '84, Jack Tramiel left Commodore and acquired Atari, which Warner had put up for sale following the crash of '83. Tramiel brought a bunch of Commodore engineers over to a newly reconstituted Atari, and they became the core of the ST team.

This severed Amiga's relationship with Atari, and simultaneously left Commodore without an engineering team to design their next-generation products. After a bunch of lawsuits and back-and-forth negotiations, Commodore managed to acquire Amiga, and the rest was history.

So it's pretty valid to say that the Amiga was designed by Atari engineers and the ST was designed by Commodore engineers.

Oooh that brings up some memories! I remember that name and I know I had some overclocking card, not sure anymore if it was the CENTurbo II though or maybe the Nemesis/CENTurbo 1. I'm pretty sure it was not a CT60 or Afterburner 040, as those were probably above my budget. But now that I read about it, all those names ring some bells again ;)

There was also something that allowed use of PCI graphics cards IIRC, but that might just have been the CT60 actually.

It was fun tinkering with all that stuff, what a contrast to todays unified RAM soldered everything computers...

Can you clarify? I took the GP comment as asking whether subordinate employees give leadership negative feedback. That's a very different animal than general public feedback. I think that distinction is important because internal feedback tends to be much more relevant due to the amount of non-public information employees have. I suspect the GP point was that "brutal" feedback tends to flow downhill within an organization.

Would you expect a custodian to be able to talk to Dalio and say something like, "You know, your desk looks like a pigsty and a cluttered environment can lead to a cluttered mind and cluttered thinking."

It's still a monstrosity compared to a traditional parser. You can even be fancy and use complex parsers that backtrack and can deal with mildly context-sensitive languages (as required for HTML, XML, and many programmin languages), and you'd still be more efficient.
It is, but the counter argument is that parsers are already so fast that streaming and all-at-once parsing are indistinguishably quick on even huge files.

I don’t believe that’s true, but it’s likely correct for the common use case of files a few pages long, written in well supported languages.

Sounds like you meant fairly explicit goal, not fairly explicit plan.
Surely America is the problem despite massive investment into decarbonizing [1] and dropping emissions to 30 year lows[2]. It can't possibly be any other countries building record number of coal-fueled power plants [3] [4] or moronic """green""" parties shutting down zero emission nuclear generators to open more fossil fuel power plants [5] [6]. If your analysis of any issue will just boil down to 'America bad' you are a thoroughly unserious person.

This is the heart of most real generative AI systems for reasoning about text: index data using this basic technique (chunked document embeddings), and when talking to the AI, the AI looks up documents from these clusters and loads them in as context for making the answer. Many ways to improve over this, but it's the heart.

In our case (louie.ai), users will have vector indexed their documents into a scalable database like OpenSearch/elasticsearch, or we help them do it, and they can talk to the data, visualize it, run analytics, etc. For example, "get everything on koala adoption from the last decade and draw as a clustered map" would generate a hybrid query to find "semantically similar" documents based on vectors and also symbolically on the time stamps, run it, and then decide to do the followup step of visualizing it using the same family of viz technique in the article. We haven't tried law yet, but already do this for areas like disaster, crime, & misinfo intelligence from social media & news. (Imagine: "Alert me when ..." or "summarize what...").

We find this approach fast and easy, but for very important questions, lower quality than we would like. Imagine a scenario like case law around koalas changing precedent over time. RAG using Langchain/LLMindex + OpenAI over a vector index doesn't solve that kind of thing out of the box. But they are solveable, and it's pretty fun to work through these kinda of issues :)
Having never touched rust before, this seems like a good launching point.
Curious though - why did Microsoft create this? Presumably they would be more interested in a C#/.NET guide for Rust developers.
I live in Paris and was recently in the US, and I strongly disagree - US cities have much less greenery, be it trees on the streets, mini parks or big parks. Most French cities have parks all over the place, and in general lots of squares with trees, random trees on the streets, etc.
Do you sign in with a Microsoft account? If you do, that's probably the reason why you don't see ads in Windows 11. The system settings UI on Windows 11 always shows an ad which says that an account should be used to use office and other apps.

Microsoft has updated apps even on Windows 10 to recommend other apps. The Photos app was recommending a video editor app recently. Windows 11 shows ads, suggestions and installs a lot of garbage apps to upsell people into office 365, Onedrive and other things.

I recently had to reinstall my office that I bought. It signed me into an account without permission and uploaded documents there. I had to sign out of that account to prevent it from uploading documents automatically. Most of the documents I edit contain my PII. I can sue them.
