Github publicly streams the global change log including all public repos. I have a public repo and noticed there were multiple clones daily after every commit I made. That's when I discovered the API: https://docs.github.com/en/rest/activity/events?apiVersion=2...

If the repo was public even for a single commit, that was likely cloned and replicated elsewhere.

Hi, version 1.1.0 just shipped that added an option to specify a Global Filter similar to the Task Plugin global filter, so if configured only Tasks containing the filter text will be included; once configured you might wish to click Clear Cache to remove all the existing reminders and re-scan your Vault. Hope it solves your issue!

Even then this displays a remarkable lack of understanding on what llms are and how they work. They have a fuzzy memory of things, so when you ask for citations you'll get titles, names and journals that seem plausible because they're centred around the distribution of names you'd expect for a paper of the kind that was required to support a specific point but llms don't have the capacity to resolve information to that degree, otherwise we'd have losslesscompression of all public works in a few gb of data. That would be as if not more ground breaking than llms chat capacity.

I think you've got a point here. 2D rendering is reasonably well defined. The problem is the overwhelming complexity of the GPU ecosystem. If you just had a decent parallel computer, it wouldn't be so hard. But instead you have to adapt your rendering logic to the particular combination of pile of hacks your GPU infrastructure supports, each having an exquisitely unique set of limitations and tradeoffs.

You'll likely enjoy our upcoming GPU-friendly stroke expansion paper - the core of it is exactly numerical methods with error bounds for the exact symbolic integrals of (certain curvature metrics) of curves. And the code is in Vello main (shader/flatten.wgsl) if you're curious and want to look at it now.
One of the specific design goals we had was to make sure that the query engine isn't tightly coupled to AST nodes.

We started with the AST, since that's ultimately the foundation for code but the goal is to add more graphs on top. So you could do a query like this to find all cases where a function called `unsafe` is queried with an unknown value:

`unsafe($val)` where $val <: type `unknown`

Is your interest in CodeQL primarily for security scans?

Yeah, that's the fun part of the ext/btrfs corruption posts. If you got repeating corruption on btrfs on the same drive but not on ext, how do you know it's not just a drive failure that ext is not able to notice? What would happen if you tried ext with dm-integrity?

I think the point was that the app store charge acts as an effective filter for spam, enough so as to determine the sustainability of the app store ecosystem.

I could very well be mistaken though, that was just how I interpreted it.

I just question whether the government is backing the right horse. Intel has been losing market share in every segment for years despite once having everything in their favor: a head start, a strong brand, mountains of cash. They failed to capture the mobile phone and tablet market altogether. And the govt thinks Intel can make AI chips that compete with Nvidia?
Nation state level malware is an entirely different threat profile to the one most people are worried about when it comes to their non-tech relatives. Most people are more worried about protecting their relatives from the mobile phone equivalent of “Bonzai Buddy”, not “Stuxnet”
Yet, many feel that they should be permitted to take hardware the purchased and tinker with it legally. If I were to write some code that allowed me to interact with a cartridge that I bought, why shouldn't I be able to share that code with others that might also wish to tinker with their cartridges in the same manner?

If you make emulation of hardware that doesn't infringe on copyright illegal, you stamp out a lot of legal and useful tinkering.
Neuralink patient controls games by thinking during interview
There's actually a third intractable reality up against star travel:

A significant portion of the human species doesn't have adequate food or housing, much less modern health care or education. Even populating Mars is a ridiculous waste of resources given this situation.

The whole "sun runs out in 5B years" thing is so disconnected from our present situation, that it doesn't even matter if it's even actually true or not (I'm not doubting it, just it's influence on our current situation).

Does anyone really think our species will still even be here in 5B years?

With the current trends in eco destruction, and primate warfare, it's questionable if we'll make it to the end of the century.

Understanding and dreaming of the stars can certainly continue to intrigue and inspire humanity, but dedicating massive resources so people can live in underground shipping containers on Mars, while billions of people still live in mud huts, is just so outrageously wasteful, not to mention self-centered and selfish, that's it's literally a crime against humanity.

This is all emblematic of the incredible failure of perspective of our place in this world...
I recently discovered it and I love it, one place for you to fill forms and soft-sign them in one clean swoop. Works with interactive forms as well as flat ones(uses typewriter mode). Additionally, it allows you to free-hand scratch the document, to indicate to colleagues/subordinates what you wished removed. This should be handy for doctors and other technical people on the go.. a sort of digital pad right in the ubiquitous browser. Keep them features coming mozilla, I'm also loving their containerized tab add-on
> Can I downgrade from Plus to Standard?

> Yes. To downgrade you must first make sure that your account meets the constraints of the Standard plan — meaning that you have only 1 remote vault with less than 1 GB used.

Based on how other subscriptions do this: "downgrading means downgrading at the end of your subscription or on renewal". Is this not a bit unfair? Users (me included) have already paid for the full subscription and even if one decides to downgrade, content is being taken away that was already paid for. I wanted to move down to the standard plan because I am not using it fully using and now changed to the standard plan thinking I'd keep plus at least until the end of what I've already paid for. Though that's not the case and now my pro subscription for the remainder of the time period was taken away.

Can this stance be changed so existing users can either double the remaining time or keep pro for the remaining time and downgrade once the paid for period is over?

> Buybacks and dividends are not the same thing. Buybacks get preferential tax treatment and are in their entirety manipulative

OK - answer me this. How can a publicly traded company buy more of its own shares (i.e. to get a higher ownership stake)? Or even buy them because they believe they are undervalued?

> Dividends are predictable, have a consistent rate across the years

Except this is not true. A company decides each quarter how much dividend to pay out. There's usually nothing preventing them from saying "Nah, sorry."

We all know plenty of companies that simply don't pay dividends, no matter how profitable.
They're in a slightly different position though. Bcache itself has existed for many years and has been used in production. Bcachefs changes it quite a bit, but I wouldn't expect any basic issues we've seen elsewhere.
I know how to leverage it, I’m just eye-rollingly tired absolute bottom-barrel quality AI images, and AI generated content. Every time I see AI generated content, including header images and logos, it’s become a marker for “too lazy to put in effort, so why should I”.

I bought a midjourney subscription for a while, and had fun playing with it, for like, 2 weeks and then that was kind of it? Like, yep, you give it some text, you get some image. Ok. None of it brings me joy like actual art or photography does.

If green or "no data" areas randomly turn red sometimes, I'd expect to see them elsewhere in the world sometimes on different days as well. But I've checked every day that's available and I never see them appear in e.g. that big empty space in eastern Russia.

I don't really see any other evidence that low data areas can turn into red areas when there's no actual interference.

Good read!

In the greater scheme of things, spaceflight isn't that different from early ocean explorers, right?

Build a vessel that suits the environment it'll travel in, stock it with equipment & supplies, head off into the unknown. Hope that supplies last long enough to set foot on the other side, and/or 'live off the land'.

Viewed like that, asteroids are kinda like islands, where some fresh fruit, timber etc may be found. Adventurers may like it & hang there while the ship sails on.

> Roads create traffic and viable alternatives to driving reduces it. Any child, idiot or PhD urban planner and traffic engineer can tell you this.

So, in the past, the governance structure used taxes to install roads and encourage car use.. (ie they were children, idiots and bereft of PhD urban planners).

But now, it's using taxes to remove roads and discourage car use.

How sage they are, not idiotic at all. Go go government! Double helpings please!

No, price increase is mostly due to inflation trends. When there is an inflation trend the house market follows, for example in London, after the start of the war in Ukraine things like gas and gasoline price went up which created a legit price increase for products that depends on those. But we've also seen an increase in rent. And that's because estate agents knew that since there was an inflation trend people were expecting to pay more. So the whole market went up with no significant change in supply and demand.

At minimum, I think iOS should have something similar to the system in macOS which blocks known malware/badware.

Some kind of local heuristics that can flag suspicious apps and informs the user when something fishy may be afoot may also be good. There are a number of patterns common to malware/scamware that an ML model should have little trouble picking up on — weird domains, convoluted URLs, recognizable brand mimicry, etc.
> I don't think you can really just bucket kids by size and ignore age though... there's a lot of mental development between 10U hockey and 12U hockey, and putting a big 10 year old on the 12U team is often not right because the level of play is so much different, most 10 year olds won't keep up.

A friend of mine has a son who is giant for his age. The kid is 7 but he's the size of a late middle-schooler.

One of the things that ends up being really difficult for him is that everyone around him assumes that he should be smarter and more mature than he is. They inadvertently expect him to be mentally the same age as kids the same size as him. It sucks because it makes him seem developmentally disabled or emotionally unregulated. He's not! He's a totally normal seven-year-old. Just a really tall one.
You say:

> It's also interesting that Intel made some specific bad technical choices.

That's like saying Saudi Arabia made some bad policy decisions. If you are in Saudi Arabia, nothing has a higher return on investment than petroleum. If you invest in anything else, you are leaving money---A LOT of money--on the table.

The result is that capital is drained out of any other business, and the country gets so dependent on just one industry that when the oil runs out, it is a major crisis.

Put yourself in the place of an Intel CEO. You've just invested $4 Billion in a fab. People will by absolutely every single x86 chip that fab will make ~$40 billion over the course of the technology node's life time.

Or, you could make chips for the iPhone, which maybe, perhaps would be a hit? And even if Apple's wildest projections come true, you'll make $8 billion instead of $40 billion, because Apple is not going to pay for Intel to pocket a 90% profit margin, when it could just go to TSMC.

So you are a CEO, and wondering how on the next earnings call you are going to justify turning an asset worth $40 Billion into one worth $8 billion....
