That's the real difference, you really have to be in an area for awhile to get a feel for it.

https://old.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/60wejw/noise_pollu... is San Diego, and you can clearly see the airport and even the flight path for landing planes - but which parts are actually affected and which are nearly unnoticeable requires boots on the ground.

And also, landing planes are quieter than ones taking off, and some airports face one direction most of the time.

I know there is a lot of mythology around the steel in katanas, but how good are they really? Could you make a better sword using modern techniques? How would they fair against a European sword from the same era?

If this takes off, IFTTT and Zapier will just create their own versions of it (if they're not working on it already).

This is why I feel new startups that are trying to disrupt established tech companies using LLMs are doomed/have no moat or technical advantage. Incumbents have the manpower and distribution to replicate everything in house. Not to mention the incentive to add "AI" to their service description which will boost their valuation automatically.
it took some digging to find "does xmake use xmake" since it's down in the src folder but here's a concrete example https://github.com/xmake-io/xmake/blob/v2.8.9/core/xmake.lua and https://github.com/xmake-io/xmake/blob/v2.8.9/core/src/xmake... but I couldn't decipher what the matching .sh files do, if anything
I’ve heard this said before, but I’m too skeptical to add it to my mental Rolodex of “common sense UX.” I see far more sites not doing that with switches, so I’m unsure the general population has that behavior internalized.
I remember flying into Germany once, my ticket including the train, and my luggage having been sent on ahead to the Lufthansa terminal at the other end.

(I forget which city now, maybe Frankfurt?)

It was very cool except for the part where it was apparently so normal that they'd keep responsibility for your luggage that there wasn't (that I noticed, at least) any warning that was going to happen. I spent a while at baggage claim going wtf and eventually found a desk with somebody who took pity on me and explained.

A+ would use service again now I know how it works.
> I do agree with you that “faith” is often defined in this way, but it is absolutely not the definition we are discussing.

Well yeah, because it's in the Bible that way, and a lot of the people you're talking about are Christian.

It's fine for people to have different definitions of things as long as they agree when arguing. But just as I'm not talking about your definition of faith when you say 'faith', you're not talking about my definition of 'faith' when you say 'faith'.

If you want to talk about 'belief absent evidence', I agree that's a bad thing, so there's probably no argument there. Furthermore, I think the vast majority of religious people think they do have evidence for their belief and don't agree that they have 'belief absent evidence'.

Perhaps they're using the word wrong, but that's not a real area of disagreement.

> No, processor designers "just" need to stop violating assumptions, or at least talk to us before doing it.

No, you don't get to say processor designers need to stop violating your assumptions. You need to stop making assumptions about behaviour if that behavior is important (for cryptographic or other reasons). Your assumptions being faulty are not a valid justification, because that would mean no one could have ever added any caches or predictors at any point because that would be "violating your assumptions". Also lets be real here: even if "not violating your assumptions" was a reasonable position to take, it is not reasonable in any way to make any kind of assumption about modern processors (<30 years old) processors not caching, predicting, buffering, or speculating anything.

If you care about constant time behaviour you should either be writing your code such that it is timing agnostic, or you could read the platform documentation rather than making assumptions. The apple documentation tells you how to actually get constant time behavior, rather than making assumptions.
How do you exit? Do you take a train back to city center, or do you have an option to exit near the runways? I wonder if you'd end up with multiple entry points with this model.
Good for the materials available. You can very much do better with modern techniques and materials. About even, I think Europe might have had crucible steel and pattern welding before the Japanese did, but didn't use them as much because they had access to more raw materials.
Not good.

The perceived quality of Japanese steel is tied to its actual value at the time. Iron ore was rare. Making steel in japan was difficult. They melted it down from river sand. So finished swords were valuable enough not to be buried with people. Compare Viking swords, which were equally as intricate and probably better overall, but were easy enough to make that they could be buried with their owners.

The mythology of Japanese swords also increased as polished steel was rare enough that simply seeing it would a bit of a shock. If you live in a brown village where the only metal is black iron, someone pulling out a shiny katana is akin to someone today pulling out a light saber.

International means customs is there when you land your plane. Tiny airports near borders tend to be international while larger ones far away are not as nobody flies the from elsewhere anyway. some airports you need to make an appointment or customes will not be there.
Cargo airports should be built even further out, because cargo doesn't care about waiting around.

Of course, there's also the factor that cargo flights are insane to begin with, if you take a bit to think about it.
Hi! We were in dev tools up until early January, did some soul searching, and started building the current version of DryMerge in early February.
Here's the actual study, which avoids the histrionic editorializing of the original article, and should replace it. https://academic.oup.com/ije/article/53/2/dyae024/7632338?lo...

If you read the study, and check the supplemental charts, you will see that there is one, and only one, clear cause of divergence in mortality between the US and peer nations: Drug overdoses.

Homicide is higher but has fallen steadily over the time measured, with a recent spike in 2020 (gosh, what's that about?). Nothing else shows any sort of sharp divergence.

Workshop on the Implementation of Type Systems (WITS) 2024 Talks
Adding scaled unit gaussian noise to the logits
noise = torch.randn_like(logits)*F.softplus(noise_logits)
noisy_logits = logits + noise

Question, if you changed this Gaussian normal for Gumbel noise you would get something like Gumbel softmax, right? I'm curious why not use it? Isn't it a usual way to implement differentiable discrete selection? My curiosity is about the effectiveness of Gumbel softmax since I have had some trouble using it in practice so I'm curious why it's not used here and if there are downsides to it compared to other methods. Honestly just adding normal noise like this seems simpler anyway.
What is the difference researchers and scientists?
I disagree. It's interesting to me that the data from the observers provided this information:

"Everyone above 96th Street saw the moon completely covering the disk of the sun, though no one below 96th street was able to do so. That experience represented a victory in measurement: The eclipse’s southern border could be pinpointed to within 225 feet, or the distance between 230 Riverside Drive and 240 Riverside Drive. The shadow’s border was literally caught between two buildings, each on its own city block."
Super cool! I think this could also be a natural progression for ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot.

With GPT-5, we might see similar capabilities where integrators would simply provide relevant APIs and documentation, while the AI figures out the automation steps and orchestration.

Plugins and custom GPTs were early (failed) attempts in this direction.
TIL an egg sexing technology has been developed and that this allowed to ban chick sexing. I am happy about that.

Well, thats the price of implementing very new technology. When risk appetite is less people can always go with established large vendors.

I largely agree with these opinions and dislike the cronyism that is a part of this deal. Looking at it a bit more holistically and seeing the growth of the DFW metroplex from 1980-now though, I think it makes sense for DFW airport to have succeeded. Having the very centralized airport with (theoretically) good rail service to both major cities makes a heck of a lot of sense and have been a good thing for the DFW economy. It would be nearly impossible to build the airport as it is now post that growth, but there's a good chance it wouldn't have survived in the early days given how far out there it was in 1979.

So short answer, I hate the cronyism, but many of the positive end goals marketed here ultimately did come true here. And it didn't fully kill DAL or Southwest in the end.
Yes, TPE in Taiwan has the same setup. At Taipei Main Station in the city center, there are airline checkin kiosks and bag drops. You take the train to the airport, and your bags are ingested into the baggage system for you.

For comparison, previous cyclic theories, esp. anacyclosis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_cycle_theory#Polybius

I find Polybius' anacyclosis model predictive (as long as we are charitable) of current US politics: the Ds believe only they are preventing democracy from degenerating further into oligarchy, and the Rs believe only they are preventing democracy from degenerating further into ochlocracy.

(Compare Thucydides 5.84, in which the Melian few covertly meet with the Athenian envoys instead of having them address the Melian many. Truly this "dialogue" has many lessons beyond what the strong and weak do and suffer.)
I have always loved the helper syntax for this framework:

button is-medium is-loading has-text-left

That's just so pleasingly readable to me. Bulma is much more css component oriented (contains classes like button and tab) than utility oriented (tailwind-style). But there are a few utility helpers like margin and padding (pt-1, ml-2, etc).

I see some folks have never heard of it, but it's been around a while, has about 50k gh stars, and has seen quite a lot of production usage. Definitely a good choice if it fits your needs / style.

It seems like you are saying you base your reality on your feelings.

Because then there would only be one option? How did you go from "hey the fact that Apple has enough clout these days and control over iOS to ensure that the web doesn't suck as bad for alt browser users like it did in the IE days is a good thing" to "it would be awesome if the federal government outlawed all other browsers"
That's true. And it's also true that investing heavily would take time, and the more time goes on the less likely we are to be acquired or disappear (or for the acquisition to be by somebody who wants to resell this as I note above). In that sense, you have a lot of optionality/convexity on this bet.

In the meantime, you can use it right now to solve your problems without a ton of integration. We have customers at every level of the spectrum from "sending us unmodified output of their CI system" to "deeply integrating with our SDKs". If the former are seeing value, you can too, and your risk is genuinely minimal.

150 miles off the coast doesn't sound that far from the subduction zone. Seems hard to believe there wouldn't be some tectonic relationship between the areas.
I cant access the full paper, but I find this really interesting, though I am not sure I fully understand whats going on re: toxicity...

>Before adsorption, the effluent caused significant cytogenotoxicity to onion root meristems. After adsorption, the generated effluent no longer caused toxicity to the test system, and the results obtained were similar to the control with distilled water.

The reason I find this interesting is that I have many plants in my house that are just pothos clips from other pothos I have that just site in 100% filtered water... but I occasionally put a pinch of spent coffee grounds into them as a fertilizer.

My plants do well when I add a bit of coffee to their soil/water... I had read that it helps nitrogen/ph - but I didnt study too far into it - just started putting coffee grounds in the water, and it either likes it, or it doesnt seem to affect it.

I'd be interested to know, if based on the statement about toxicity to the onion root, is this bad for my Pothos, or good for it?
I mention you can have other terminals as well, and those in other urban areas can be connected to transit. You spread the parking around; in cities it’s often easier to take transit.

I swing between my comfort zone, and growth mindset. Sometimes projects just become maintenance mode for a while, other times I expand my knowledge, try new things, learn from mistakes. You have to have a beginner's mind, and be willing to look pathetic on your first try and leave ego at the door. Become vulnerable.
Again, you have memory but models don't. If it's not in the context, it doesn't exist. This is really easy to prove: delete your question from the context and ask the model why it answered the way it did. It will not know, because the model prediction service is stateless. It only takes the context as input.

It's like if you and I weren't able to remember anything that wasn't written down. That's why you can get models to approximate thought by telling it to write down its intermediate steps.
many, even most, individuals do not hold fast to virtue even in their daily lives, and society has only crude solutions for dealing with that, but we must deal with it.

organizations that consist of individuals who do hold fast to principle we tend to label as "cults", and their chosen principles are not necessarily favored by any majority.

we need organizations, as imperfect as they are--which is as imperfect as we are--and so we regulate them as best we can.

I work on a distributed runtime system for heterogeneous supercomputers [1].

As an example of the sort of bug we regularly deal with, I am at this exact moment tracking down a freeze that occurs on 8,192 nodes of a supercomputer [2]. That means I'm using about 64,000 GPUs and about half a million CPU cores. The smallest node count I've seen my issue is 2,048 nodes and at that scale it only happens about 10% of the time.

We've been debating internally whether Antithesis could help us or not. On the one hand, the fuzzing to explore the state space, and deterministic reproduction, are exactly what we want. On the other hand, we believe our state space is much larger than what you see in a typical distributed database. (And not just because of the sheer scale of things, but even on a single node we have state machines with order hundreds to thousands of states in them.) Based on the post here and the "scenario" count explored in CouchDB, I'm not convinced you'd be able to handle us. :-)

I'd be curious what you think. Happy to discuss here, or contact info in profile.

Europe had far better materials and forging methods. Double-sided swords were common.

There’s a reason Japan’s best swords were single sided.

Katanas require so much work just to get usable steel. The reason for the way they hardened one side and softened the other was so low quality steel wouldn’t break.
Zapier is already trying! We actually did our live launch at the same event as them for their new chat product -- https://central.zapier.com/.

We're focusing on a super simple UX for less technical users.
> But, does it mean one couldn't create a voice that sounds a lot like Luke Combs as long as it's well labelled as AI-generated?

I don't think so. It amends previous protections preventing folks from using an artist's likeness to include voice. I don't think you could, for instance, create a TV commercial using someone's image and simply label it as AI to get around those protections.

The whole point of the law is to protect the likeness of a person. If you can just slap a label on it that would make it pointless.
This is cool, but it is not obvious to me if this is a web app or a native Mac or what - some screenshots, a video or at least a description of how and where this runs would be helpful to get people over the hump of doing the signup I suspect.

That is just what follows from faith, not the definition of faith. That is just as true of anything someone really believes in; your actions would or ought not be incongruent with your beliefs.

If you believed animals are sentient and ought not be harmed at all, then you wouldn't harm them. But those actions that follow have no bearing on the meaning of belief or faith (where the latter can be distinguished as being a "willful" belief).
