Irrespective of naming, can we at least agree that there are, at minimum, two completely different features being spoken about here?

1. A feature that prepares a query to send to the database engine.

2. A feature that transforms data structures from one representation to another.

And we agree that these are independent? You can prepare a query without data transformation, and you can perform data transformation without preparing a query? I think we can prove that, if you are still unconvinced.

Okay, so that just leaves naming. What should we call these distinct features?

Here are my suggestions:

1. Query building. Building a query is the operation being performed.

2. Object-relational mapping; ORM for short. Mapping objects to relations (and vice-versa) is the operation being performed.

These descriptive names seem well suited to the task in my opinion, but I am open to better ideas. What have you got?

Now, there is something else in the wild that we haven't really talked about yet, but may be that which that you are alluding to. Another abstraction, or pattern if you will, that rests above (to use my suggested terms, bear with me) both query building and objet-relational mapping to unify them into some kind of cohesive system that actively manages records. This is where it starts to become sensible to consider (again, using my suggested terms for lack of anything better) query building and ORM intertwined.

I would suggest we call that active record. In large part because that's what we already call it. In fact, what is probably the most popular and well known active record library is literally named ActiveRecord, so-named because it was designed after the active record pattern. But, again, open to better ideas.

Python, Javascript (well, Typescript, if you want to go there).
The parallels in this one to the audacity event a couple years back are ridiculous.

Cookie guy claimed that he got stabbed and that the federal police was involved in the case, which kind of hints that the events were connected to much bigger actors than just 4chan. At the time a lot of people thought its just Muse Group that's involved, but maybe it was a (Russian) state actor?

Because before that he claimed that audacity had lots of telemetry/backdoors which were the reason he forked and removed in his first commits. Maybe audacity is backdoored after all?

Have to check the audacity source code now.
You misread my response. My response was "You can't destroy ideology of Hamas by non-military means". I wasn't making a point about cruelty of Palestinians and I especially wasn't making the point of unique cruelty of Palestinians. I was making a point that their minds are beyond change by arguments other than overwhelming lethal force.

I wasn't making a moral argument about who deserves to get what. I was making a consequentialist (?) argument about who will get what given where they are now.

Please read my earlier comment with that in mind and you'll see how much you have read into them beyond the words I have written.

> Corruption doesn't mean "they do bad things". Instead it means that they are biased.

That's totally wrong, it sounds almost like downplaying or excusing corruption (which is inherently a "bad thing" on its own) by comparing it to just having a bias.

Corruption is not just having a bias (towards "people who give me bribes", if nothing else) but also acting upon that bias and mixing it up with a job that requires impartiality.

In contrast, merely having bias is nowhere near as bad, particularly since someone can be strongly biased and still recuse themselves.

When someone talks about "corruption" on the Supreme Court, it's probably not hyperbole about bias, but a reference to hundreds of thousands of dollars in alleged bribes.

""We are pleased to settle this lawsuit, which we always believed was meritless," Google spokesman Jorge Castaneda said in a statement, noting that the company would not be paying any damages."

The case was Brown v. Google. The filing below has a decent summary of the case. Google's spokesperson claims Google "believed [the suit] was meritless" but at the same time Google chose to settle. Are the company's actions congruent with its alleged beliefs. Will settling "meritless" claims lead to more "meritless" claims in the future.

https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cand.36...

Google's spokesperson notes that "Google would not be paying any damages". However Google will be paying the plaintiffs lawyers' fees, costs and service awards; was this litigation inexpensive. Moreover, Google can still be sued for damages for wiretapping by the individual plaintiffs. For example, a first batch of 50 plaintiffs are currently suing for damages under California law. (Will Google settle these "meritless" claims.) Google will also pay damages to the class representatives as decided by arbitration.

Unfortunately the injunctive relief negotiated in the Brown settlement, requiring Google to stop collecting data via 3rd party cookies in Incognito mode, expires after 5 years.

I'm open to this. If an attempt to stop frontier models is to hold, banning open weights must be on the table. I'm excited about AI, but not entirely sure that it doesn't call for the same strong regulation as nuclear proliferation did. It's about kicking the brakes until culture catches up and absorbs impacts, not stopping

I'm just saying I'm open to it, and don't want them to listen to accelerationists, but rather the ppl doing the deepest work with the edge models. Many of them are humbled and worried. Generalist AI enthusiasts wanting freedom to do any and all things with paradigm-shifting intelligence infra, I'm not swayed by that so much.

I cannot quickly find the answer so maybe the project owner can share - I have a need for which apparently there is no ready-to-use product - I need to have form which is anonymous, but at the same time it should be one-time-only submit. (Like voting system).

My ideal solution would be to send unique link to each recipient and limit one submission per link. However, I as a purchaser should not be able to see who got which link, or at least, how each link voted.

Question if heyform has some implementation of the need already, because none of the well known products - Google forms, MS Forms, Typeform - support anything like that

For me 3brown1blue series: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aircAruvnKk was an excellent introduction that made Andrej's videos understandable. Then I did 3 first chapters of fastai book, but found it too high level, while I was interested in how things works under the hood.

Going through Andrej's makemore tutorials required quite a lot of time but it's definitely worth it. I used free tier of Google Colab until the last one.

Pausing the video a lot after he explains what he plans to do and trying to do it by myself was a very rewarding way to learn, with a lot of "aha" moments.

Gotcha. But in reference to the actual topic here, my point still stands, even given your caveat.

The people supporting open models are a much larger group than the minority who are trying to ban then.
It may not be a problem in a language like Rust, where the compiler understands the concept of immutability. But most (if not all) mainstream languages except Rust don’t. Your object may be immutable in January but in February someone makes a change in a class used 10 layers below and suddenly your class is no longer immutable. Add invisible sharing to that and your code explodes.

I will happily pay a small price in breaking some abstractions and get the protection from fuckups like that every single time.

Abstractions understood as „I can change only X without changing Y” (aka GoF OOP patterns or most Clean Code OOP patterns) are overrated anyways. Readability and understandability of code is more important than ability to add something without changing something else. If code is readable and constraints are enforced by the compiler, it is easy and safe to change. Optimizing for ability to change is better than optimizing for not having to to changes. Because changes will happen no matter how beautiful abstraction you make.

As for cable, you'd use fiber optic. There is really no need to go with copper in such a case.

Other than that I'd agree about your solution being optimal back then, and now. Btw how did you check the power brick, peak to peak voltage measurements? Bad capacitors is likely the single most common failure.
Fondant | AI-powered 3D tools | Frontend Engineer/Design Engineer | Full time, REMOTE

We are hiring for frontend engineer roles at Fondant. Design is the core of everything we do so if you are someone who is a frontend ninja with good taste in design, you will be a great fit.

You will be brainstorming, prototyping and rapidly implementing new interfaces for a 3D tool in the browser. A lot of your work will involve making the UX more intuitive for beginners yet effective for power users. WebGL experience and knowledge of 3D tools or game engines is a huge plus.

Reach out at my username [at] fondant.design with a short blurb about yourself and link(s) to a personal contribution(s) e.g., open-source code, designs, cool demo of something you built etc.

Fondant is on a mission to make 3D more accessible. We are building a tool that harnesses the latest advancements in generative AI/ML to make new 3D workflows for modeling and rendering. Traditional 3D tools are often unapproachable (think Blender, 3DS Max). We are leveraging the lessons learnt from building traditional tooling over the last decade + SOTA work on 3D reconstruction, NeRFs, gaussian splatting and image generation.

We have an early product + users + funding.
> World population projected to reach 9.8 billion in 2050, and 11.2 billion in 2100

This to me always stands out as the main reason why house prices in desirable areas across the world (eg. London, Australia, Singapore, etc.) won’t drop any time soon. Quite the opposite, they will continue to go up steeply for another few decades.

Today we’re 8 billion people, add another 50% of today’s population on top of what we already have, in less than the next 80 years, whilst habitable areas decrease due to climate change, and we’re in a perfect scenario where sharp population growth will simply outpace any building efforts we could achieve with the current workforce we have.

> His 1902 paper “Responses in the Living and Non-Living” contains a whole chapter comparing the electrical impulse response of frog, lizard, and tortoise skins to the skins of tomatoes and grapes. He found little difference.

What mentioned later is that in that paper he also found little differences to the electrical impulses of metals (namely tin) with his 1902 methods and galvanometers.

Surely this does not mean he proved that metals scream when twisted ?

The paper is freely available in project Gutenberg by the way. It's interesting.
Wow what a horrible idea. Sounds like monopoly in the making. I would be really interested to hear what "open" AI has commented about this - I guess they are lobbying for this with all of their billions.

If the US government really want to do this correctly, they must also ban any API access to AI models and ban all research related to AI.

How could this be even written as law? Universities and companies are probihited to publish their research? How many layer models are forbidden to be published? All neural networks?
Very clever. This use case would never cross my mind.

What payload are you looking for? Cartesian Gantry’s are your next bet if you want to handle higher loads. Eg. Epson vt6l is ~14k but I’m sure you can build a gantry system to handle higher loads for a bit less!

Dobot software sucks though, I ended up programming it in python. It’s definitely not on the same level as say a Kuka or Yaskawa. Epson seems like the best value out of all the higher end arms. Software looks good, the arms are built well, has a long history in industry, and price is decent

More precisely, it runs its own local CA to issue certs for itself. Not exactly the same as self-signed certs (which is a cert whose key was used to sign itself), but better because leaf certs are short-lived and easily cycled. This allows for setting up trust easily, just need to trust the one root CA cert and every leaf cert for any domain served will be trusted.

Your feelings are dead wrong.

First, they have not hit a plateau. If you're in any ways involved with AI research you'd know that there is an insane amount of low hanging fruit in terms of data (synthetic and real world), architectural improvements, loss function improvements and scaling.

I also doubt their main motivation is collecting more data. Their motivation is directly competing with Google on their search business. The early success of Perplexity has shown that an answer engine built on top of LLMs is an improvement over a list of ranked web pages. OpenAI would be stupid to not go after that market, especially given the kind of mind-share they already have. It's clear that Google is stuck facing the innovator's dilemma.

And this is not speculation. Sama said (in Lex's podcast) that taking on Google is something that he's very interested in. Coincidentally it also aligns with OpenAIs mission of making this tech benefit everyone.
Yeah, oftentimes they are agencies without an actual project just fishing for data, especially when they ask about your desired pay in a text input...
