I'm a bass fisherman, but not a tournament competitor, so I only loosely follow the tournament stuff. But my understanding is that for most bass tournaments (the big professional ones at least) fish have to be alive at weigh-in to count. So even if you catch a legit live fish and it dies in the live well on the way to weigh-in, you don't get credit for it. Presumably that rule is both to help protect the fish and to discourage certain forms of cheating.

> Details are pretty limited in the linked article, but what’s described does sound like a price fixing agreement. Doesn’t matter if it’s “family ranchers” or someone else - that’s illegal, as it should be.

I'm not so sure. If the landowners incorporated into a single entity what they did would be fine, and it's not like they have any kind of real market-level monopoly power to force anyone to deal with them.

Applying the law in that way just seems to be a way to enable bullying of the little guy by rich corporations, by giving the corporations a monopoly on coordination. IMHO, it shouldn't be "price fixing" unless the parties involved in the agreement would be judged to be an illegal monopoly if they were a single entity.

Apache Doris 2.1.0: Real-Time Analytical Data Lake
Short summary of the paper:

Take Gemma-2B. Take your API. Use ChatGPT-3.5 to generate 1,000 "correct" API function call responses by dint of placing only your API calls in the pre-prompt, then prompting it. I imagine they use ChatGPT to create the request language as well. Then make 1,000 "incorrect" API call responses by filling the pre-prompt with functions not from your API.

Finetune.

Note that they use "functional tokens" in training - they convert a function to a particular, previously unused tokenization, and refer to it that way. They claim this speeds up inference (I'm sure it does). They don't make any claims as to whether or not it changes their accuracy (I bet that it does). It definitely makes the system more fragile / harder to train for large and very large APIs.

Outcome: highly capable single API function call LLM. They say you could do it with as little as 100 training inputs if you really wanted.

I think this is interesting, but not world-shattering. I could imagine building a nice little service company on it, basically just "send us a git repo and you'll get a helpful function call API for this version of your code which you can hook up to an API endpoint / chatbot".

Limitations are going to be largely around Gemma-2B's skills -- A 2B model isn't super sophisticated. And you can see they specify "<30 tokens" for the prompt. But, I imagine this could be trained quickly enough that it could be part of a release CI process. There are a number of libraries I use that I would like to have access to such a model.

I'd be interested in something that has general knowledge of a large set of packages for a language, and could pull in / finetune / MoE little models for specific repositories I'm coding on. Right now I would rely on either a very large model and hope its knowledge cutoff is right (Claude/GPT-4), or using a lot of a large context window. There might be some Goldilocks version in the middle here which would be helpful in a larger codebase but be faster and more accurate than the cloud monopoly providers.

Definitely! I would get as much RAM as I can, but that's about it.
So if you ran build without test files it would fail. I get that this is hindsight thinking - but maybe removing all non essential files when packaging/building libraries reduces the surface area.

Whether people get attached to something is not a great criterion for whether it is good. As the article points out people get attached to all places where life happens. I guess a portion of people who live under dictatorships get attached to their fearless leadership. Stockholm syndrome is a thing. As an outsider I have to say that lots of the US looks really gddmn ugly to me. I think in many ways beauty happens where there is constrained space. That is why old European city centers are often considered beautiful. These had to fit into their defensive walls an/or channels. European suburbs also have a certain uniformity about them. But at least they seem to be created with humans in mind instead of cars. I think uniformity is kind of unavoidable if millions of people need to be housed. How many completely unique suburban look and feels can be designed?
100%. It's also awful inside a big corporation. Imagine waiting weeks or months to get a new package approved.
Assuming you want to maintain full bandwidth.

Which I don't care too much about.

However, even 16->24GB is a big step, since a lot of the model are developed for 3090/4090-class hardware. 36GB would place it lose to the class of the fancy 40GB data center cards.

If Intel decided to push VRAM, it will definitely have a market. Critically, a lot of folks will also be incentivized to make software compatible, since it will be the cheapest way to run models.

>and are actively hostile to simply existing in the outside natural world.

Are you really going to claim that living in a city is part of the natural world? Why is it that whenever a city has a blackout, people call the police terrified of seeing stars in the sky?

>Urbanists hate them because they are designed for cars instead of people

That may be a valid point for old cities that predate the industrial revolution. But there's nothing about NYC, LA or any of the other major US cities that are people centric. Besides, I can flip that argument on its head, cities are limiting and put people in cocoons never having to leave their own neighborhood and see the world. Have car, can travel.

>There are numerous videos from urbanism channels

Because videos from random youtubers with stated agendas are objective sources?

>The automobile is America’s largest wealth destroyer that takes car payments averaging something like $500-700 a month

That's cherry picked if I've ever seen it. There's a massive used car market and cars can last for decades when cared for. Mine is old enough to drink at this point and cost $4k outright. Now there definitely is a problem with new cars, especially EVs being a right to repair nightmare. But there's a large overlap between those who push BEVs and urbanization. I agree that there is a massive issue with the TCO of these vehicles, a battery lasts 10 years and will cost more than the value of the car to replace at that point and they aren't even making them easy to replace. And nobody seems to care. If you ask me, it almost seems as if a backdoor way to make sure the poor cant afford a car and are forced to live in cities in 20 years.

Look, you have your preference, that's cool. That's the nice thing about choice, you can live where you want and you don't have to show the commissar work papers that let you live there. Cities aren't going anywhere so there's no need to feel threatened by suburbs. People who want to live in suburbs and have a patch of grass to call their own will. And they aren't hurting you by doing so.
In this distant future I imagine that getting to Earth from the Moon is pretty easy and very common. I doubt people move off of an Earth-centric time.

Of course this would be very different for planets or solar systems far from Earth.
I wouldn't call it damning. It does present some reasonable suspicion. All the quoted text provides is evidence that someone suggested price fixing. Proving they actually went through with it would require more evidence.
German here and I think I have experienced both what you are referring to (to a lesser degree though) in a bigger city, but also what the person you replied to said.

In my city you can have both, completely depending on the neighborhood. Where I mostly grew up (<10km from here) we knew our neighbors, children could play in the 30 speed limit zone, etc.pp) and where I've been living for 15 years I hardly know or talk to my neighbors. But this is not always the case in apartment buildings, but relatively common.

So I guess what I'm saying is that we can have some of this suburban feeling (as much as I can assume it to be) inside the city (maybe not the city centre) in many cities here. We do have the real suburbs as well, but I think they're still more "communities" than just.. single homes with zero shops and bars and stuff.

And yeah, I'd totally take the small house with my own garden and being able to BBQ and invite the neighbors, if those weren't going for 1m EUR :P
People who enjoy the suburbs drive everywhere, I think that is a given. Often as a child there are plenty of parks/friends houses a quick walk or bike ride away through neighborhood streets, being able to avoid the big 4 lane roads filled with shopping centers and big box stores.

As a teen or adult relying on bike/public transit, yes that would be hell. You have to embrace car culture in the burbs.

No kidding... Intel is playing catch-up with Nvidia in the AI space and a big reason for that is their offerings aren't competitive. You can get an Intel Arc A770 with 16GB of VRAM (which was released in October, 2022) for about $300 or an Nvidia 4060 Ti with 16GB of VRAM for ~$500 which is twice as fast for AI workloads in reality (see: https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/FtXkrY6AD8YypMiHrZuy4K-120... )

This is a huge problem because in theory the Arc A770 is faster! It's theoretical performance (TFLOPS) is more than twice as fast as an Nvidia 4060 (see: https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/Q7WgNxqfgyjCJ5kk8apUQE-120... ). So why does it perform so poorly? Because everything AI-related has been developed and optimized to run on Nvidia's CUDA.

Mostly, this is a mindshare issue. If Intel offered a workstation GPU (i.e. not a ridiculously expensive "enterprise" monster) that developers could use that had something like 32GB or 64GB of VRAM it would sell! They'd sell zillions of them! In fact, I'd wager that they'd be so popular it'd be hard for consumers to even get their hands on one because it would sell out everywhere.

It doesn't even need to be the fastest card. It just needs to offer more VRAM than the competition. Right now, if you want to do things like training or video generation the lack of VRAM is a bigger bottleneck than the speed of the GPU. How does Intel not see this‽ They have the power to step up and take over a huge section of the market but instead they're just copying (poorly) what everyone else is doing.

Yup, or you could... not do that. Which would be a lot simpler.
It's essentially a do-ocracy in practice, though we have discussed the possibility of putting together a foundation to steward it, particularly if we start to get money involved. There are currently five people who have admin rights with respect to their various competencies, and anyone who establishes trust with the community and gets stuff done will also be promoted to their level of competence, as it were. Though I hesitate to describe it like this, I think of "admin" more as a clerical role than an authoritarian one. You're good at code review? Everyone generally trusts you? Then merge rights are just a tool to help you do your work better.

I don't think anyone is going to be very excited about introducing Rust unless there's a compelling reason to, but feel free to bring it up on the issue tracker for discussion and see if you can form a consensus on the matter with the rest of the community.

Here are some suggestions if you ever need to scale.

https://github.com/pocketbase/pocketbase/discussions/395

Never happened to me. SQLite is faster than most people think. When you hit the limits of sqlite, chances are high that you can afford to use one of the scaling solutions mentioned above. Here are some benchmarks:

It may not sound sloppy if you are used to todays apps and websites but half a second is an eternity in CPU time. Half a second is also very much a significant amount of time compared to normal ssh connection times with low network latency - if not Freund then someone else would have noticed, complained and this would have eventually been investigated. The only luck part here is it taking less than two months for this to happen but the attacker could have prevented this avenue for detection entirely by optimizing the exploit not to slow down the ssh proces.

The universe used to have hierarchies. Fast memory close, slow memory far. Registers. L1. L2. L3. RAM. Swap.

The same thing would make a lot of sense here. Super-fast memory close, with overflow into classic DDR slots.

As a footnote, going parallel also helps. 8 sticks of RAM at 1/8 the bandwidth each is the same as one stick of RAM at 8x the bandwidth, if you don't multiplex onto the same traces.

I am not familiar with LiveView, so I'm curious. Looks like it processes UI actions server side.

So, are all client interactions sent through the websocket? I remember years/decades ago we used to do that with ASP.NET, where every single component interaction was handled by the server. How is this different / better?
Grass is faster, meaning for any given shot over the net you have less time to respond. This encourages attacking behaviour.

Clay is slower, meaning even off fast, angled, difficult-to-reach shots the ball bounces higher and slower, meaning you have time to get to it, thus prolonging rallies and points.

But beyond that, it's not just that players choose to play more aggressive on grass - a given shot is more aggressive on grass.

This is why the serve is more powerful on grass - you open the point with a powerful shot, and on grass that's harder to return.

That's what fluorocarbon line is, as I understand it.

That's my understanding as well. That said, I hate fluoro line, especially on spinning reels, as the extra stiffness gives it a tendency to want to come off the spool already. Add in any extra "weird" factor like a badly timed gust of wind when casting, and you wind up with a big tangled birds-nest of line wrapped all around your reel. :-(

OTOH, there's a another "superline" formulation out there, that is made of the same material as braided line, but it's fused instead of braided together. The Berkley Fireline Crystal version claims to be nearly invisible in water (similar to fluoro) while still having the strength, suppleness, etc. of braid. I've been using it for a while and have been pretty happy with it.
Some things just end up being a better experience fully client-side. Don't go all in on it - just do it when it makes sense.

There is no justification for killing.
Two sources said that during the early weeks of the war they were permitted to kill 15 or 20 civilians during airstrikes on low-ranking militants. Attacks on such targets were typically carried out using unguided munitions known as “dumb bombs”, the sources said, destroying entire homes and killing all their occupants.

The world should not forget this.
Generally speaking this is the model I’ve always been wanted to build apps in. Event oriented, bidirectional realtime updates with server, ordered events, local and remote state...

I didn’t know about LiveView and never used erlang-family languages, but definitely they’re onto something. The traditional request-response model is many times causing a lot of subtle problems with consistency and staleness.

A wishful (probably also controversial) thought: if the last decade was about integrating FP concepts into mainstream languages, then I hope the next decade will be oriented around integrating stateful message-oriented (reactive?) programming into the mainstream full stack.

I very much relate to the dropdown example, and I've found that complicated UX patterns can be extremely awkward to implement and maintain in LV.

One example from my experience that was prickly to implement in LV was graying out a chat message you sent if it didn't get acked or persisted by the channel/server for any reason.

Can't wait to try this out in my next project!
