I think there is huge overlap between New Age woo and multi-level marketing schemes (or whatever products like Trump U are), but I don't think Trump himself is the first New Age president, even though somehow the Qanon cult of personality has sprung up around him based on truly esoteric magical thinking. We're going to have to wait for Jared Leto to run for office.

No way, I was literally mulling over the exact idea of voice-driven text editing (focused towards programming), using a mix of voice commands and usual speech to text. This is really exciting to see!
Article is only talking about 1 step generation. It doesn't anything if 2 steps improve the image at all. The images look good enough but not as good as 30-50 step generation by SD. The cat in water is much clear example of that.
I used to trade those products, but futures only. It sounds like this is software for physical traders, so I can't offer much in the way of feedback, but wish you luck. A question based on my past experience: are you required to report transactions on your platform, and if not, would you publish some aggregated data anyway?

Just curious because I always heard physical volume was always several orders of magnitude smaller than futures (for good reasons!) and was curious in which commodities that was most true.
A part of this was due to the TRC of Nintendo. It also didn't hep that due to the complexity of the graphics hardware, most developers where railroaded into using things like the Nintendo provided Microcode just to run the thing decently.
No problem at all, the API documentation is at first on the roadmap, you can contact me through X (hosmelq) if you consider it necessary.
MIT is somewhat distillation model, maybe it was distilled from SD?

Is there anything good enough to substitute for a 1080p monitor for a lengthy period of time?
I wonder if using Apple’s new MLX Python library (for training on unified memory systems) would yield significant gains.
first of all thanks for the reply. by "eXTwitter", do you mean twitter? any examples of what you mean?
Go’s excellent for writing development tools and “scripts” if you have to support development on heterogenous platforms.

No per-platform install instructions, no “ok but you have to run this in WSL2… you don’t have that? Oh god, ok, let’s find those instructions…”, no “oh fuck the flags for that are different on BSD and Linux, so this breaks on macOS”. “Wait the command’s python3 not python, on your system? And also it’s erroring even after you fix that? Shit you’re still on 3.8, we use features that weren’t included until 3.10…”

“Unzip this single binary and run it. Tell your OS to trust it if it hassles you. That’s it.”

C# with mono might be close to as good? Not sure. Rust’s probably OK but a bit of an investment when you’re just trying to dash off some quick tool or script. C++ and C can do it but you definitely don’t want to. Java’s obviously out (ok, now update your JRE… wait, your env vars are all fucked up, hold on…).

Go’s also highly likely to be something another developer with or without Go experience can read and tweak after the person who wrote it leaves, without much trouble.
I don't think so either. Perhaps I shouldn't have quoted this particular bit. All I meant was, ignoring the reality is worse than facing and dealing with it.
Nice work and congratulations on the launch! It’s awesome when a project works as expected/assumed. I immediately started using it to build my packing list for my upcoming weekend away.

Three suggestions:

1. If I try the demo on the landing page, and then sign up, I wanted it to automatically have the contents from my demo usage on the landing page copied into my newly created account.

2. I would like another option than an auto renewing subscription. If I could have loaded 5$ or 10$ that my usage would deduct from, instead of having to subscribe, I would have paid money right then and there, but I didn’t because I have too many damn subscriptions (alternative is to offer a non auto renew $10 one month trial).

3. iOS app please :)
Lack of redundancy. Also a major contributing factor in the 737 MAX crashes. Redundancy is a low price to pay for peace of mind.
> Also I’m not seeing optocouplers for ATX power interaction so curious how that will work

Open-drain outputs on the controller? It's already got a shared ground with the power supply, so it doesn't need full isolation.
Not into fishing and so not the target audience for this, but I just wanted to say this thing jumps out at me as one of those products the excitement over "web 2.0" and the API gold rush was all about. A world of niche web-accessible raw data streams, ready to be processed, combined, added to, and made into something useful by an enterprising developer. Cool project.
i think it's more that the wrong people have voting rights on the site. i mean, obviously so if the actual content of the message counts less than starting the comment with 'actually', right?
But then you have to drive a Tesla? Limiting the available cars you’re willing to purchase strictly to adhere to a perceived moral high ground feels incredibly naive to me. And privileged, tbh. Teslas are in no way affordable.
I'm working on a personal finance aggregator, as a Mint.com replacement. I started it a few weeks ago, after learning my mint account would be shut down and replaced with Credit Karma. I can hopefully get it launched in 1-2 more weeks.

I learned since starting that this field is saturated; there are many options... including several going through strong marketing campaigns currently! I'm going to still release this because it's mostly done, and it'll be something I use, even if no one else does; advantage of being able to customize it.

I do think I can do this better than other options in these areas - A: Faster and more responsive (by virtue of not using frameworks, tracking, analytics etc) B: Respectful of the user. Ie, no marketing email, compact site designed so you spend as little time on it as possible etc.

However, when I read this thread, it makes me not feel great about it, since it's not original or cool; not something contributing to mankind's advancement.

> Well, the test courts use when they evaluate the constitutionality of a law that curtails a fundamental right (such as speech) is twofold: 1) Does the law serve a compelling government interest? 2) Is the law narrowly tailored to serve that interest?

Almost right. Strict scrutiny has a third factor [1]: Does the law use the available method which is least restrictive of speech?

An alternative method to banning young children on social media could be to apply the caretaker-consent-or-ban condition on social media only for students on the physical premises of public schools while having the public schools teach students the pros and cons of social media (hopefully noting that social media is more helpful than harmful for most teenagers [2]). Enforcement would fall on parents and public school teachers. That's less restrictive of minors' speech rights because the ban doesn't apply everywhere, and also less chilling of social media sites' speech rights because having to collect more of users' personal information for age verification is burdensome. Not saying that my example method is a good one, just more likely to pass strict scrutiny.

Idk how something like a cafe would necessarily benefit the business to have a dedicated website. A facebook (or google maps) page presents relevant info such as location/hours/menu in a predefined schema, so neither the owner or the customer need to worry about formatting it (or understanding the format).
It's sad how many of those finished game urls are dead today. (I remember visiting this maybe a decade ago and still being able to reach some of them)
Working on Symph (https://symphmusic.com), a web app for musicians that lets you synchronize measures/bars in a music score with timestamps in a YouTube video. Demo video: https://youtu.be/az6IENwtn78

It's like Songsterr, except you get to reuse your existing music scores (PDF/PNG/JPG). I am using a supervised ML model to auto-detect the music bars in the score.

There is nothing dishonest about paying off a loan in one month. It's all fair in the contract.
People who say stuff like this must not have worked on enough Linux environments. Bash scripts aren't fully portable, and there are absolutely differences in environments which prevent portability of bash scripts. Since using Nix, I've realized the number of bash scripts which are only superficially portable are drastically higher than the number which are actually portable. As one trivial example, how many bash scripts use the more portable shebang of `#!/usr/bin/env bash`? Extremely few. And every one which hard codes `#!/bin/bash` has created a less portable script most likely without ever having realized it. Guess they are all muppets though right?
Nah, you're under no ethical obligation to do anything for them whatsoever. If you were, you'd pay their asking price from the outset.
It doesn't require you to differentiate weak and strong references, so there's no risk of memory leaks due incorrect choice in Gc, unlike Rc IIUC.
I got a professional bike fit. Definitely worth it if you ride a lot.
Try getting a bike fit (or just watch some videos to learn how to fit yourself). If it’s bad enough it might only be addressable with physical therapy.
> Right. But approximately no software does that, because if you don't do it then your software will work fine everywhere other than Japan, and even in Japan it will kind-of-sort-of work to the point that a non-native probably won't notice a problem.

Most games that I know of that target CJK + English (and are either CJK-developed, or have a local publisher based in East Asia) do indeed switch fonts depending on language (and on TC vs. SC).

> I'm not convinced it is. Configuring your software to use the right font on a Unicode system is, as far as I can see, at least as hard as configuring your software to use the right encoding on a non-Unicode system. It just fails less obviously when you don't, particularly outside Japan.

I'm considering 3 scenarios:

1. You are configuring for the Japanese-speaking market. In which case, fix a font, or fonts.

2. You are localizing into multiple languages and care about localization quality. In which case, yes, you need to know that localization in Unicode is more than just replacing content strings, but this is comparable to dealing with multiple encodings.

3. You are localizing into multiple languages and do not care about localization quality, or Japanese is not a localization target. In which case Japanese (user input / replaced strings) in your app / website will appear childish and shoddy, but it is still a better experience than mojibake.

In any case, it seems to me that it is not a worse experience than pre-Unicode. It's just that people who have no experience in localization expect Unicode systems to do things it cannot do by just replacing strings. You indeed frequently run into issues even in European languages if you just think it's a matter of replacing strings.

Yeah, I'm absolutely pissed that New Balance had stopped making my favorite model of sneakers. I bought the last 5 pairs of them from a seller on eBay. Like, a model is great and it sells well, why would you stop making it?!?

> Edit: At first the 15 copies seemed excessive since only 7 are needed for weekly laundry, but basically you can get 2x longevity out of the stock based on laundry wear.

That is wild. Firefox on Android is an 85 MB download, and it's real Firefox with all the associated features. LinkedIn is 45 MB. I don't see how anybody can believe Apple is spending any effort on automated static analysis in app review if they're leaving such low hanging fruit.
> Seems like the sound tubes ended in the 70

I'm 40-ish, and I remember them as a child, so they were definitely still kicking around in the mid to late 80s, most likely on KLM and Pan Am, that were the airlines of my childhood.
Curious how this performs against chatgpt with few-shot prompting.

More and more evidence recently has shown that fine tunes/retrieval don't measurably improve performance over few-shot, but with this being such a specific domain/skill, I'd be surprised if it didn't far outperform a few-shot approach.

Pretty much that project, a Raspberry Pi, a ham radio license, a small filter board from QRP Labs, an MFJ antenna tuner, and then a long wire over the roof of a single story home. No other amplifier. The New Zealand reception was just once. I did somewhat more often get heard in Germany or Brazil, and quite regularly east of the Mississippi and west of the Appalachians, but never closer than about 50 miles, that is, no one ever heard me in town. This was across like 40 meters and 10 meters I think about seven or eight years ago. I ran the beacon all the time for a couple of years.
Australian Digital ID Bill to be passed without debate
I used one method for every car I've purchased since 2005 (three). Most of the time I spent was obtaining emails for 10+ car dealers. I then sent the same email to each of them, essentially worded as follows:

"Dear ___
I will be purchasing a black model ___ (with the following details) ___ for cash this Saturday. No trade-in. I am sending this email to 10 dealerships. I will reply to one and only one responding email. Your email must expressly state that your quoted price "includes 100% of the money I will have to pay including taxes, registration, plate costs and every other fee".

I will not consider any email that arrives after 6:00PM Friday.

Thank you,
_______

I have never received fewer than 6 offers. Most were very close in price. I did not always accept the lowest offer due to issues such as distance, out-of-state, and spirit of the emailed response. This has been so successful that I will never buy a car again without following this scenario.
In the past year I've gone to the ER with my late 70s dad almost once a month including multiple waits in the 6-12 hour range.

* Any time a senior (I guess anyone, really) falls and hits their head doctors want a head CT. Only place to do that is the ER, but if you aren't showing any symptoms of a brain bleed or similar problems, you're low on the priority list.

* Dad had IBS and problems with severe constipation. Twice he was having significant abdominal pain and we were told by his GI doc to go to the ER for a CT to make sure there wasn't a serious problem going on. But again, pain with a history of constipation and no other immediate symptoms lands you low on the triage list. And indeed both times he was just constipated.

* The worst time - the 12 hour wait - he was experiencing severe altered mental state. His neurologist, who normally has a 2-3 month wait for an appointment, thought it was serious enough to see him the next day. After examining asked if we could go down to the ER (their office is attached to a hospital) for a lumbar puncture and other tests to rule out a brain infection. Again, apparently the ER docs disagreed, so in the waiting room we sat.

In general though my observation from all of those hours sitting in ER waiting rooms was that a significant portion of the people there were really just sick and probably should've been at urgent care or their PCP.
It is nice to have the comment next to the sort though, which is otherwise going to be surprising.

Probably the best thing to do is to make a constructor method for the TaskDesc that sorts the regions to enforce the invariants. The code is evidently getting more complex over time, so packing the complexity up into methods is probably now worth spending a little time on.
If there were anything else that harmed over 90% of kids while potentially helping a remainder we’d generally prohibit it.

I’ve known and worked with folks facing mental health issues over the decades and usually these kind of issues come from within. The idea that instagram is a cure-all for teen self-harm is not supported.

Anecdata—we knew a teen recently with very supportive parents and a smartphone and it didn’t stop a suicide attempt. Direct intervention did.
Admittedly very naive question: would they have an anchor? Would it be long enough to hit the channel bed? Could dropping it have helped prevent, or at least slow down, the ship?

Or even if so was it just too late when it all went down and it wouldn’t have made a meaningful difference?
Quite amazing videos. I've no experience in this domain and so it makes me immediately wonder - is there no risk of substantial damage from those ships colliding due to a wave hitting e.g. the smaller ship just right and pushing it hard against the larger one?
Could Snapchat have detected this? What is the defense against this type of attack?
I worked on this in 2018/19. It's a really hard problem, and the only people I've found doing it at scale is a small Norwegian company called https://piql.no. They encode large files into film and store it in the Arctic World Archive - and they did GitHub's Arctic Code Vault.

DNA storage is interesting, though can be damaged by radiation. Would love to see where you land with this project - it's one of the few cases where crypto may actually be the only real digital solution.
> Find out what tax and title should be, assume a $500 "documenting fee" do a notional write up in advance, bring a calculator

A few states have capped or fixed document fees. In New York State, it's currently up to $175 for the dealer, plus any fees you owe to the state for title and registration (should match what the state charges for you to do it yourself).

Many states have no cap and it's no uncommon to find $500-$1000 doc fees. Check your state's law.
Hospitals are businesses in developed countries too. Here in Japan, the hospitals and clinics are all private businesses, but the prices are very low, ambulance rides are free, etc. The keys, as far as I can tell, are 1) no consolidation/monopolization and 2) lots of regulation.
There's a lot of space between passing over abuse in silence and being a jerk to others who are grieving. Mere mention of estrangement or complicated relationships is hardly shitting on someone.

The bereaved have the right to grieve authentically, even if that means doing justice to a history that involves trauma and conflict. That's part of what collective grieving rituals are for and should be for. There are limits but I don't think there's a universal prescription, or that it's fair to draw a line at, e.g., mere mention of estrangement.
Ultra-pasturized makes for a lovely rich flavor though.

Or maybe that was because I used too large a pan and it dried out too much? Or both?

It was better than what I've had in restaurants, for what it's worth.
They definitely were still a thing into the 90s
Apple every few years will pretend to care about games to get people to buy their hardware. They have been doing this since at least the 90s with games like Quake.

They talk a big game about how things will change, but it’s empty promises.

The latest is Resident Evil games on iOS that ran like garbage and Apple Arcade that is mostly shovelware.
You can even get a (2-stroke) Detroit Diesel to run in reverse.

You don’t want to do it very long, because they don’t make oil pressure in reverse.
1. Grow up in the 90s and play too many video games and read the Extropians list too much.

2. Decide I want to be, like, the Hagbard Celine of pharmaceuticals and cure death, or something.

3. Learn programming because I still need a job if I fail at (2) and anyway programming is fun and people are scary.

4. Double major in CS and Bio, do bioinformatics research for minimum wage.

5. Move to Berkeley, learn more programming working at a random startup for minimum wage.

6. Get a job as a bioinformatics programmer at a lab; learn lots more programming and some bench biology and publish papers, under the theory that I need papers and a PhD to start a pharmaceutical company.

7. Look around and decide I don't want to be postdocking in SF for $40k/y when I'm in my 40s and have kid(s).

8. Enter an MD/PhD program (MSTP, ie combined and debt-free degrees) as a lowish-resistance hedge even though I dislike premeds and also the entire bloated medical system.

9. (8 years later) Do residency in Emergency Medicine because it's really fun and all the other specialties bore me. (Except radiology, but that's no fun with chronic sciatica.)
I wonder if they’re required to keep up training to the degree pilots are. It wouldn’t surprise me if they’re not.
For sims, it works well enough. But it won't work for something like a shooter, or a Beat Saber equivalent.
What's the best way to expose random CSV/.xlsx files for future joins etc? We're house hunting and it would be nice have a local db to keep track of price changes, asking prices, photos, etc. And look up (local) municipal OpenData for an address and grab the lot size, zoning, etc. I'm using Airtable and sometimes Excel, but it would be nice to have a home (hobby) setup for storing queryable data.
I use https://github.com/spf13/cobra religiously for this kind of thing - it handles all the annoying corner cases of parsing flags, and also has an intuitive notion of subcommands (with basic usage/help text generated) for picking which task you want to run with positional arguments.
Not a fix per se, but a safer system going forward.

Given all the variables, is it feasible to build a system that continuously runs through multiple failure modes, predicts where the ship would end up and then guide the ship on a course where even a loss of power would have the ship drift between the supports.

Was there a configuration of the ship that would have prevented it from hitting the bridge even after the power loss.

This seems like something that could be continuously calculated in realtime to keep a ship in a safe corridor, such that it wouldn’t strike the bridge even if the engines failed, based on winds, currents, size, load, etc.

I’m speculating about fixes, because it seems prudent to think about how to prevent the next strike before it happens. I feel like technology could reduce that risk to some degree.
Hire a non-metal band to play for you in the room.
Again, I still don't understand why you think anyone would try this. Why would they try this instead of a ban on eating spaghetti, for instance? The entire line of reasoning is absurd. Where has anyone ever tried to do such a thing? Never. So why do you think this is actually a danger?
I think it is wild that "good" outputs are always some of the most uncanny imagery. Sure it is better than older versions, but "photorealistic" only makes sense if you are describing a photo to someone who can't see. I know it's "early" but they don't deserve this praise. It is cool they can assemble things but it really is a very low bar compared to reality. I know non creative people don't care but audiences care.
