> All of these are real, documented harms that were inflicted on the public and can be prevented and punished by reasonable net neutrality regulation without interfering with the ability of an ISP to compete in the market by trying to be a better ISP.

Exactly. We just watched this exact situation play out when twitch left Korea due to ISP greed [1]. ISPs double dipped by charging both twitch and their users. It is frustrating so many commenters here are acting like there is zero benefit from having net neutrality when the examples are so obvious.

Billionaire? You're exaggerating.
Hey! Not in an automated way (yet). But you can get pretty close by building your plan, applying it, and then piping the output of your tests back into Plandex:

The Starbucks I've been too in the last two years (NE Ohio, Massachusetts) have all been like that. Creamer and sweeteners are behind the counter now. Seating is harsh and uncomfortable. The floors are dirty now. The whole experience is hostile.
Israel doesn't want peace because they're winning. Every year Palestinians lose territory, and the land that remains becomes more and more uninhabitable.
If you're surveying you ideally want to fix against a base station as often as possible.

In calm waters these are pretty good for 30 minutes and more ... but then there's the wonder of post processing as opposed to "best position guess at the time".

The secret source here is a multitude of inputs; multi axial inertia, magnetics, modern underwater not-LORAN, pivoting on features in data from frame to frame and smushing these all together in post to create an optimal (for some value of optimal) best {position + orientation} trajectory after "the game".

It's "sufficient" to coarsely move about and get coverage and then use everything known (past and future) to sharpen the 'present' position.

This is a seperate case to blasting off into the unknown as a missile and having to get position correct on the fly in a single pass and no do overs.

The back pedigree here is access to decades of geophysical and photogrammic survey - so an arsenal of tricks of the trade.

They're right though, the benefit of paying absurd amounts to your linux vendor is raking in certs that you can use with your insurance provider to cover your a** in case something like this happens. That's the sole reason of certs after all. Though I'd like to figure out if RedHat really is going to eat it if push comes to shove.
Yes, that would be the solution.

He wrote a massive novel, is dead and left no estate, and yet it remains unavailable to read. There is certainly no technological reason why this is the case.

People have been working on it for years, but it's a lot of work when the chip vendor isn't helping to make it happen. At this point it's more akin to building reverse-engineered GPU drivers like Panfrost and Nouveau than a platform like Arduino (where AVR was well-documented by Atmel and avr-gcc already existed).
I find the Copilot completions to be slightly better than IDE auto complete, but the latency is too high for it to be useful IMO. It's to big a break in concentration to wait for it to type almost what you were about to.

Multimodal Starter kit for storytelling: Transform silent footage to narratives
Multimodal understanding of video using AI can be tough because you have to:
a. Download & store the video
b. Use ffmpeg to process it
c. Collect key frames
d. Send the collage of frames with the right context to the AI model.

Doing this right requires orchestration between many vendors - storage, streaming, inference etc.

So, we created this easy starter kit for storytelling using multimodal video understanding. It uses VideoDB, ElevenLabs & OpenAI GPT-4V to create a David Attenborough style voiceover over any silent footage.

1. Upload footage to VideoDB
2. VideoDB's indexing+ OpenAI convert it into a script
3. Eleven Labs gives a documentary-style voiceover.
4. VideoDB's timeline feature syncs it
5. Get a streaming link

Link of the output here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsU14KgORgg

This can be broadly applied to other types of videos too: drone footage, AI generated video etc.

What other starter kits might be interesting?
Congrats! Looks great, and I can't wait to try it.

Do you support AzureOpenAI with custom endpoints?

I certainly do have an issue with paying $22 for noodles with tomato sauce even if it is called pasta al pomodoro.

Personally I think especially vegetarian dishes should be much cheaper, though I like meat but I think the increased production and environmental cost should be reflected in the price.

"It's admittedly pretty cynical,"

Nope, it's not cynical. Everyone needs to know that HR is there to protect and benefit the company, not the individual. There is a truckload of rules and laws that a company needs to comply with in order to not get fined or sued. Additionally, the company must coordinate the human capital which is why the department exists. Helping the employee is a side effect. It's not its primary role. Always keep in mind that you are not paying the HR employee's salary. It's the company. Therefore you are not the department's primary client.
Do you not find the latency disruptive? I find that the auto complete results taking even a second and a half breaks my flow, so I disabled Copilot and I don't miss it

Just gotta ask, as I didn't see anyone else mention it, cause saffron gets me jacked!!

I've never had it in food, but the tea hits me like MDMA almost! I know I read that it is a precursor to MDMA, and that's maybe why I used that as an example. But it's a genuine antidote of mine.

I've read that saffron tea can be used like an ssri? Any experiences/antidotes? Just curious if anyone uses it like this or if anyone else has noticed these effects.
Yes, but you do need to handle local storage.

That’s uncommon in most of the country but it also misses the point: it’s about access. Comcast and Verizon tried to double-charge Netflix for access to their customers and that instinct needs to be blocked because otherwise every MBA looking to juice their quarterly numbers is going to look for opportunities to do it.

There’s also a privacy angle: ISPs used to mine search data and even inject tracking cookies into HTTP traffic. That’s less of an issue now with HTTPS so widely used but they still mine TLS host names and would no doubt do anything else which advertisers will pay for as long as it’s legal.
Plandex uses gradual summarization as the conversation gets longer (the exact cutoff point in terms of tokens is configurable via `plandex set-model`). So eventually, with a long enough plan, you can start to lose some resolution. That said, assuming you use the default gpt-4-turbo model with a 128k context window, you'd need to go far beyond 2k tokens before you'd start seeing anything like that.

We don't know what ChatGPT's summarization strategy is since it's closed source, but it does seem to be quite a bit more aggressive than Plandex's.

This won't go anywhere. Today's games rely on a myriad of services just to get to the start screen and they're embedded into cloud infrastructure. The times were there was only a single server that was used to run a game is long gone.

Today's games also rely on a server instance that contains most of the logic and includes tons of proprietary software that is patented by the gaming companies. This includes data collection, player fingerprinting and even on the fly in game data manipulation that makes you miss a shot you should have hit.

With all this proprietary stuff in the server they won't hand out the binaries or even the source. Nor won't they hand out binaries that are stripped of the proprietary stuff because that would make the in game manipulation obvious.

And before anyone starts an argument if this really exists, I'll put one patent with the relevant excerpt at the bottom of this post. THere are many more patents when it comes to data collection, player finger printing and in game manipulation to "level the playing field". Reading through them and understanding what they do is quite interesting.

===== SNIP ====== >8 ==========

FIG. 3B illustrates a table providing an exemplary list of parameters of a gameplay session that are modified based on a player's skill level and the corresponding experience for players of different skill levels. For example, in a first-shooter gaming environment, when a first player aims his weapon at a target, a parameter defining the tolerance for how accurate the player's aim must be to hit the target is modified based on the acquired skill level of the player. The computer assigns the tolerance for how accurate the player's aim must be to hit the target differently based on the skill level of the first player. A player having a higher skill level will be assigned a lower tolerance parameter and therefore, will have to be more accurate in aiming in order to hit the target. A player having a lower skill level be assigned a higher tolerance parameter and, therefore, could be less accurate in aiming in order to hit the target. As shown, column 310 of Table 1 lists modifiable parameters such as ‘degree of accuracy required to hit a target’, column 312 lists the experience of a player having a ‘high’ skill level, which may be ‘high degree of accuracy required’, column 314 lists the experience of a player having a ‘medium’ skill level, which may be ‘medium degree of accuracy required’, and column 316 lists the experience of a player having a ‘low’ skill level, which may be ‘low degree of accuracy required’.

TDD! They are passing the easier test first.
Would the authors not have been better off adding their performance improvements to pip rather than creating their own tool? I remember this being a complaint from Node maintainers when Bun was released: they had multiple open performance-related issues with no one available to work on them.
The AI is as ethical as the humans training it.
I use autotools for my C++ projects and I hate it (in my weak defense, I hate cmake more). config.cache helps (and ccache helps a lot, too; most of my ccache hits are on stupid autoconf test programs; ya gotta use ccache if you use autoconf), but rerunning configure is still s l o w.

Worse, automake and autoconf have a cyclic dependency, so if you're a developer (as opposed to a user building from source on a system) you wind up running configure all the time. This is because, most probably, your Makefile.am lists every source file individually. If you add a new source file, you must rerun autoreconf to regenerate your Makefile — and that also generates configure anew. Then the Makefile sees that configure is newer than config.h (or some other output, I don't want to look up the gory details) and, blammo!, when you run make, first configure runs.

Of course with git, this happens not just when you add a new source file to your project... it happens whenever you switch branches, where there's variance in the source files in the project. configure configure configure configure.

As much as I hate it, autoconf isn't the worst part of autotools. Automake is... pointless? Is it really less effort to write Makefile.am than to write a straight Makefile? Wouldn't that be simpler?

And then there's libtool, which should be drug out into a back alley and executed. A 2000 LoC shell script, whose whole purpose in life is to figure out, over and over and over again, stateless in the same way as TFA complains about with autoconf, precisely which compiler flags should be used to build a shared library on a system amongst all the old compilers, even though today everyone just uses gcc and clang, which are flag-compatible, and determining which flags to use is not really that hard. Please, someone, anyone, please kill libtool and banish it from this earth.

I tried Meson — ran into a problem, read the docs, asked a question on the mailing list, never got an answer, never got past it. Bazel's obviously a terrible Google project and won't work if you're not sufficiently Googly. Cmake, a disaster. I liked tup, but it seems to have died (and it didn't solve the autoconf problem anyway).

Which new build system will deliver us from the 18th circle of hell? (probably cargo, as the Rust fanbois work to get C/C++ deprecated...)
I mean, I think throwing out all zoning may be an over-step. I sure as hell don't want a chicken factory built next to my residence.

However, a scale-back of zoning (like what CA state recently did - threatening the "builder's remedy" on cities/counties that didn't plan to expand housing appropriately) is probably a good idea. CA also recently made it easier to basically convert SFH to essentially 6-plexes (cost is an issue, so it's not an immediate fix).

The major issue with most of America's woes has to do with us being an effective oligarchy and money having more say on what goes on than what most people want.

It wasn't supposed to be a gotcha, just an effort to move the discussion into interesting territory.

That said, I wouldn't call a product that diverged from Sybase SQL Server entirely in 1995, was converted to C++ a few years, later, had a complete revision of the old Sybase code in 2005, and has continued to add features over time consistently then being converted to work on Linux as something that could be dismissed as technically unimpressive for the sole reason that 20 years earlier before all that it started out as working on UNIX systems. It started this journey before Linux even existed.[1]

The big innovation, which is obvious to anyone that bothered to look into it, is that they provided and optimized system call agnostic layer to provide accurate, performant access to the base system in a way that was OS independent, and was lauded as fairly impressive and interesting at the time. That people are so fixated on the company that own the product that they can't even assess something on its own merits before dismissing it because of its association with that parent company is exactly the problem I was alluding to originally. The whole reason there's a note in the guidelines about avoiding shallow dismissals is because it lowers the quality of the site in general for everyone.

Grinding with sugar is definitely the way to go. I generally buy a big wheel of Iranian Saffron on eBay or a Persian shop, then grind it all up in a mortar and pestle with some sugar and store it in a spice jar in a dark cupboard.

The article/analysis seems a bit alarmist to me too. It suggests Houston is way behind in paving roads and has unsustainable long term liabilities. Ok, maybe. But last month called 311 and asked them to pave a pothole on a busy city street I hit. I noticed it was done within two weeks. Hmm. What are the full assumptions under their analysis? Who knows.

Kinda like cash accounting vs accrual which they highlight, both can be misleading if the assumptions aren’t clearly spelled out.
I use to work at a regional bank and I remember being in discussions on how to do this in 2017-2018.

It didn't take a genius to figure out that banking data is quite valuable.

Honestly, I assumed given those meetings that this was already common practice with selling to data brokers.

Those "how to do this" meetings were not technical. "How to do this without causing a PR shitstorm" would have been a working meeting title. I guess it was all shelved until the 2000lb gorilla bank said lets do it. Or it was just being done quietly previously.

Yes, technically "BALR" for Branch and Link Register. (I knew a guy who had been a 360 assembly language programmer who called his consulting firm BALR consulting, referring to that instruction.)

> By your argument would you say that all of these are legitimate targets?

I am not your parent commenter, and do not necessarily subscribe to any of their arguments, but I can answer your question directly: yes, to some people, the conscription of all people in a certain age range does make them legitimate targets.

In particular, from my perspective, one of the primary downsides of the inclusion of women in the armed forces is specifically that it legitimizes taegetting (other) women as a military target.

So, to be explicit, if an organization I conscripts women into their military and someone else targets I women militarily, then I will hold I morally responsible for their fate. Similarly, if an organization H utilizes children as soldiers (or human shields) and other children are militarily targeted, I will consider H morally responsible for their fate. (And to be more explicit still: sucks for all the men everywhere.)
Most innovations happens outside large organizations, then either replaces it or the ideas get stolen/absorbed into the parent. All the downsides and barriers of operating in a large legacy system are pretty well known, even if the maintainers are receptive, radical change will be DOA.
MacOS in generally is very buggy around SMB in my experience. Windows and Linux don't have these issues. Only android file apps in my experience are as buggy around SMB shares.

My macbook often disconnects randomly from my SMB fileserver. I ran into a bug just yesterday where the laptop client would reject re-authentification to the server after I manually disconnected from the SMB server. The only fix was to restart the macbook.

Personally, I find his work compelling - I saw an amazing exhibit at the Frye in Seattle and the scale of it was incredible, also the composition. But I think his work makes some people uncomfortable.

Darger biographer Jim Elledge speculates that this represents a reflection of Darger's own childhood issues with sexual identity and homosexuality."
