The thing is, some people like full contact sports. And not just watching them but doing them. If you stripped tackles out of football or body checks out of ice hockey, that would make it a different sport, not just for the spectators but (much more importantly) for the athletes. Nobody makes it to a high level in a sport without actually wanting to do that particular one.

Full contact but restricted martial arts also exist and mitigate risks by limiting the range of allowed techniques. Some of them do it in different ways than others. Judo is full-contact but disallows strikes, which makes it massively different than something with strikes. Semi-contact karate avoids the full-contact part, which makes it different in a different way.

Full contact practically always comes with risks, and full contact with fewer restrictions comes at much greater ones. Spectator expectations or other parts of culture may encourage the athletes to take risks and go to greater lengths than they otherwise would. But it's difficult for me to agree that modern society should have no place for sports that mentally healthy people actually want to participate in just because it comes with a risk of physical injury or intentional roughness. If they wanted to participate in a different sport, they'd have options.

In the end it's of course a matter of where to draw the line. Rather few people would nowadays want to allow fights to the death even if the participants wanted that. (Although, in reality, I don't think such a sport would get that many willing and actually voluntary participants either.)
No worries, it's pretty far down in the readme :)
I haven't been following closely enough to know what the obstacles are, but I wonder why some of these vendors don't experiment with wider system memory buses to increase the bandwidth along with these iGPUs gaining more interesting cache and IO topologies.

My memory is that we used to see more variation with single, dual, triple, and quad channel memory configurations in essentially prosumer/pro desktops. But lately, it seems like everyone has just stuck to dual channel and minor variations in memory timing of the same DDR generations.
Yeah, worked for me.

It's fun!

"Deep Learning" by Bengio, Karpathy's videos on GPT from scratch, 3b1b's videos going over the math and fundamentals should give you a nice grip over the concepts.

After that I feel you would be ready to delve into newer papers and be able to understand what's going on and stay "relevant" as you said.
Yes, exactly. When doing a search, we parse and search every file without any indexing.

Of course, it could still be sped up considerably with an index but brute force is surprisingly effective (we use some of the same techniques/crates as ripgrep).
Big fan of Aider.

We are interesting in integrating Aider as a tool for Dosu https://dosu.dev/ to help it navigate and modify a codebase on issues like this https://github.com/langchain-ai/langchain/issues/8263#issuec...
Its a result of trigrams themselves. For example turning searchcode (please ignore plug, this is just the example I had to hand) goes from 1 thing you would need to index into 8.

"searchcode" -> [sea, ear, arc, rch, chc, hco, cod, ode]

As a result the index rapidly becomes larger than you would expect.
I would agree when AI gets to a point where it's possible to do that 20%. It is just not possible yet to combine it in such ways. Right now you basically get whatever music, but there's no way to add that 20%. Same with image/video generation. AI advancements have obviously been amazing and far beyond what I would've expected, but there's still ways to go.

It's also a lowest-common denominator problem.

Which advanced UX do you implement? MacOS? Windows? Gnome or KDE behaviour? CDE?

One could sniff the user-agent and adapt to a recognized OS behaviour but we all see how superficially shallow the UX on the web is. I've given up on expecting anything advanced.
That sounds fine by me and is essentially what I used to do, but I don't see how it's any less effort or any better of an experience than just continuing to subscribe to the well established and polished services that are already widely used. Like, why would I go through the effort of setting up and paying for an illegal service that provides me most of the functionality I already have, but needs more maintenance and is almost certainly rougher around the edges and less well integrated than the corporate services I already use?
It probably can't be 'fixed' - vision only + 'end-to-end NN'. I don't believe you can get it to be really reliable with that setup, at least not in this decade.

It's a very good setup for awesome demo of the technology and vague promises in the future. Just like in 2016 (every Tesla will become a Robotaxi with an OTA update) and 2019 (we will have 1 million Robotaxis on the road in 2020).

Another example - Tesla official account highlighting that FSD is 'taking pedestrian gestures into account':
https://nitter.poast.org/Tesla/status/1776021631346835491#m

Is it a lie or not ? Even the usual influencers are saying it's not taking pedestrian gestures into account, based on their tests. But, the system is an NN - so it's impossible to prove it - just like it's impossible to prove that it does take it into account. Hell, it takes everything it sees on the camera into account !
Had a blast playing around w/prompts and listening to the various results.

I play piano, sax, guitar, and I can sing well enough. I'm garbage at songwriting and composing. I immediately see the value of using this tool to scaffold an idea out. I think being able to export lyrics and chord progressions would be an amazing paid feature to keep this as a freemium product.
My property taxes have gone down for the last few years, probably because King County has moved the equation to taxing land more than structures (and I live in a town home on a small piece of land).
But how many of those 48.82 units are actually used in any meaningful capacity?

Intel is spending a great deal of money manufacturing stuff that’s then utterly wasted on any system with dedicated GPU’s or more commonly never use more than a small fraction of that 3D capacity. It just seems like a multi billion dollar waste from a company that’s so used to being a near monopoly it can’t step back from the iGPU trap.

Introducing Kagi Search's New Design
>ugly, and doesn't conform to native interface expectations

These are not strictly a result of targeting browsers for desktop applications, it's strictly down to design decisions that have nothing to do with how its implemented. I've seen plenty of wonky desktop/native applications that took way too many liberties with design whimsy that end up being a worse user experience than any webpage.

I also can't complain about Slack being slow because it doesn't seem slow to me and I'm part of a very large organization. I also use VS Code which is based on browser tech, and it's working really well. And I love that VS Code also works in the web applications I create. YMMV.

That already happens in the states. Sometimes, you just need to go on vacation for a couple of weeks and come back to find your home squatted with a fake lease drawn up in crayon to throw you into a civil legal process. You can find tutorials online.

I worked at a company that was purchased by KPMG a while ago. On announcement, the first thing I did was a few internet searches.

I immediately started making plans to leave after seeing countless fraud cases against this company. I did not want to be associated with them.

So, they at least lost one software developer because of their practices. Possibly others.
But twenty years for a train seems very low. My daily driver is 12 years old, I thrash it every morning and never gives me problems. I live in the snowbelt.

Sure, but someone wrote Scintilla and the alternatives, including the native control. Would be nice if they had some clear documentation on what they're supposed to do.
There is no utility. It's perhaps written for JavaScript developers who are used to Error.. but it's not idiomatic C#. Might be indicative of a copilot too.

The use of a class-scoped `StringBuilder` that only one method uses, and `ReadQuotedColumn`/`ReadNonQuotedColumn` yielding one character at a time, rather than accepting a the builder isn't a good sign either (for efficiency). Or casting everything to a `char` (this won't support UTF8), or assuming an end quote followed by anything (:71) is valid way to end a field.
Yeah, agreed... Today we see the focus is so much on the looks/visuals, no so much investment on the usability/accessibility side.

The "right now" whereof I spoke is basically any crisis during a quickly progressing terminal cancer after the oxycontin starts and before the morphine.

Aider works a little different where it doesn't just code complete or focus on a function level. It can solve much bigger problems.

I totally agree we need more actual competition, and also agree that national polarization plus a first-past-the-post system makes that unlikely in the near term.

I'm aware of such cultural patterns. I was really reacting to calling group gift-giving events a "shower" more than anything else. To me, a "shower" is a very specific form of gifting, for very a very specific purpose (births and weddings, as a form of community support for starting a new life). Thus my surprise.
The last question in the linked article answers this question. There is no change to the EU entity or to the project overall. The asset transfer being planned is only from their previous US entity which did not have full recognition in the US as a nonprofit.

Multiple other SPI associated projects also have relationships with EU nonprofits in addition to SPI. SPI does not demand exclusivity.

Disclaimer: I spent many years as an SPI officer and board member, so some of my comment is informed by that experience. But I am not currently involved in SPI activities or leadership in any way, and I have no knowledge of this particular news beyond the linked article.

> as someone who has worked in (bio)tech companies that got purchased, first they cut 20-30% of the staff, but that doesn't mean all the work they were doing went away, and it means key people in every role have to do more

Yeah, this wasn't a simple staff reduction. Twitter fired something like 80% (?) of their employees. By conventional wisdom, they should have gone down hard and never recovered. There are lots of people in this comment thread who are (dubiously) trying to make the case that they did.

The Twitter example, for better or worse, revealed that tech companies are not just a little bit redundantly staffed...they're employing tons of people who effecitvely just make work for each other.
I'd dispute that. No gi is not easier on the knees, ankles, or shoulders IMO. The slipperiness compared to gi comes with the downside of sudden slipping movements that put your knees and shoulders at higher risk of injury and dislocation. The increased focus on leg attacks also puts your knees and ankles at higher risk. Add to that the seeming slant towards more explosive movements in no gi, and the overall risk of injury should be higher than gi. You likely see more injuries in gi, because way more people train gi than no gi still.

Note: I train gi and no gi and have been for almost 10 years. My biggest injury happened in the gi (broken hand), but I've had significantly more ankle and knee sprains and shoulder dislocations in no gi. Also, the morning after no gi feels like I got hit by a truck compared to the morning after gi.
Until you install a single node application, or consider all the applications running on the package developers system, or the systems of the developers who provide the packages installed on the developers systems.

ETag and HTTP Caching
I just tried it and it's amazingly cool, but the quality of the output just isn't there for me yet. It makes too much subtle errors to be as useful as the screenshots and the gifs makes it look
That isn't the problem. It is completely possible to process untrusted data in a batch script. (Even if it likely isn't the best tool for the job) the problem is that the method of getting that untrusted data to a batch script is incredibly complex and was being done wrong by a number of programming languages.

For example imagine that I have a shell script to write an entry to a guestbook. Maybe I call it from my webapp like this:

# webapp.py
subprocess.run(['guestbook', untrusted_msg])

On Linux this is perfectly fine. I can then write my guestbook script like

#!/bin/bash
echo "$1" >> guestbook.txt

As far as I am aware there are no security issues here. The user can pass whatever they want as the message and other than some mess in the `guestbook.txt` file they can't cause any harm.

However this doesn't work well on Windows because in order to escape the arguments you need to know how the `guestbook` program parses its arguments. Right now basically all languages assume that the caller will use `CommandLineToArgvW`. However if `guestbook` is a batch file a different parsing mechanism is used and remote code execution can occur before the batch script even starts executing.

Basically in order to properly escape the arguments the caller needs to know what is being called. The current APIs don't have a way to know this so they can't do it right in all cases.
Yes, like RWKV and Mamba this is a new generation of models that are more like big RNNs than pure transformers we have now
C# `char` is a UTF-16 code unit. It does not indicate a byte which is just `byte`.

TOS was literally the Cold War and Vietnam in space. TNG brought us a world-consuming machine hivemind, a military bureaucracy in which admirals being corrupt or incompetent was so common it's become a meme, and the Maquis. DS9 obviously had the Dominion War. Enterprise had the Xindi/temporal cold war nonsense. And I'm pretty sure Janeway is guilty of war crimes all across the Delta Quadrant. Star Trek was always space opera, and has always involved war. Not because of "the deep state" or propaganda, but because pew pew lasers make for compelling television.
You can still turn off the script signing requirement without running a script (right?). Presumably this will be logged to the Windows Event Log, so there should be a mechanism that watches logs for this and alerts someone to investigate.
