A different take - the FBI is absolutely going to open a criminal negligence case in any disaster like this, even without direct suspicion, because there's a reasonable possibility there was negligence just by the nature of the incident.
Probably not. Spinning inertia and grid frequency are a core component of running a stable grid. Gives you a large store of energy that can absorb sudden spikes in demand or drops in supply, so systems have time to react before really bad things happen.

The grid frequency is an incredibly useful communication tool that allows any piece of equipment to easily and accurately measure the current health the overall grid, and automatically make adjustments to help balance and improve the health the of the grid (either by increasing or decreasing load/supply). Because the frequency is set by physically large spinning turbines it means it’s also a direct and inseparable measure of total grid health, not something that’s dependent on another system to monitor and communicate grid health.

It’s hard to overstate how much of our electricity grids depend on grid frequency, and one having thousands of systems monitoring and adapting to grid frequency, to remain as robust and stable as they are. In a DC world you don’t get that anymore, and keeping a grid balanced becomes substantially more complex requiring potentially unreliable side-channel communication to allow equipment on the grid to coordinate themselves. Its really hard to beat a system where one of it core fundamental attributes (frequency) needed for power transmission, is also the perfect attribute for distributed coordination of load and supply.

This is up to the streamer.

Either ~3 minutes of ads per hour, or an up-front 30s of ads before you can view the stream.

You would only see >1 minute of ads if they choose the first option and you hit the stream on the ad break.

But I agree with you. I've bounced from many-a-stream due to up-front ads.
Here is an article about PITR in Neon

Here we see marketing over engineering. I do not want A.I hardware, all the useful stuff has to be done in the cloud anyways. Any HW accelerated algs for mac silicon are very temporary and not portable. Selling me a feature that will not be useful to me is plainly fraud and low quality.

What I want is forward progress on ergonomics, more memory, storage, and higher single core speeds. Apple couldn' deliver that with M3, and that is why nobody is buying it. Fire the marketers and make better hardware.
Yeah, their variety of ads is so small that I can't imagine they do much if any targeting at all.
Sure LFP won't keep working after being shot, but is that a difference that matters? The important part is the "doesn't catch fire".
Hi! I wrote that proof back in 2007, half of my lifetime ago. It's neat to see it discussed again.

My original writeup was longer and included several of the details that you mentioned. However, the editors of the American Mathematical Monthly condensed it, presumably so that it could be published as a "filler" that would take up less than a page. What you see is their rewrite of my work.

In fairness to them, the stuff that's left out is well known to people who think about incircles and excircles and thus not really new. For instance, it's used in the proof of Heron's formula by similar triangles.

There were some things that I would not have put that way on my own. For instance, at that point in my life, I had actually been trained not to use the word "clearly" like it's used here.

But who was I, a high school student, to quibble with the editors of the American Mathematical Monthly? I was thrilled that they wanted to publish my work. No regrets.

Probably not. Heating steel doesn't cut it, it just forms a puddle of molten metal that will cling to the base material. For cutting to work, you need to blow it off somehow.

For plasma and oxy-fuel cutting, the hot gases coming out the nozzle acts as the mass that blows it off. Air carbon arc gouging uses regular compressed air to push the molten material away. I imagine industrial laser cuttings dealing with anything larger then a few millimetres thick would use compressed air as well.

I doubt a smaller more efficient laser is going to change that reality.
Roughly:

1) The initial seq-2-seq approach was using LSTMs - one to encode the input sequence, and one to decode the output sequence. It's amazing that this worked at all - encode a variable length sentence into a fixed size vector, then decode it back into another sequence, usually of different length (e.g. translate from one language to another).

2) There are two weaknesses of this RNN/LSTM approach - the fixed size representation, and the corresponding lack of ability to determine which parts of the input sequence to use when generating specific parts of the output sequence. These deficiencies were addressed by Bahdanau et al in an architecture that combined encoder-decoder RNNs with an attention mechanism ("Bahdanau attention") that looked at each past state of the RNN, not just the final one.

3) RNNs are inefficient to train, so Jakob Uszkoreit was motivated to come up with an approach that better utilized available massively parallel hardware, and noted that language is as much hierarchical as sequential, suggesting a layered architecture where at each layer the tokens of the sub-sequence would be processed in parallel, while retaining a Bahdanau-type attention mechanism where these tokens would attend to each other ("self-attention") to predict the next layer of the hierarchy. Apparently in initial implementation the idea worked, but not better than other contemporary approaches (incl. convolution), but then another team member, Noam Shazeer, took the idea and developed it, coming up with an architecture (which I've never seen described) that worked much better, which was then experimentally ablated to remove unnecessary components, resulting in the original transformer. I'm not sure who came up with the specific key-based form of attention in this final architecture.

4) The original transformer, as described in the "attention is all you need paper", still had a separate encoder and decoder, copying earlier RNN based approaches, and this was used in some early models such as Google's BERT, but this is unnecessary for language models, and OpenAI's GPT just used the decoder component, which is what everyone uses today. With this decoder-only transformer architecture the input sentence is input into the bottom layer of the transformer, and transformed one step at a time as it passes through each subsequent layer, before emerging at the top. The input sequence has an end-of-sequence token appended to it, which is what gets transformed into the next-token (last token) of the output sequence.
Anyone using it in production?

The only issue I've found with Neon is that to use listen/notify the DB needs to be awake 24/7 which defeats the purpose of serverless.

That’s just how type programming looks.

Here’s (https://github.com/unional/type-plus/blob/main/packages/type...) a human written example that’s well-factored and uses loads of subtypes to clarify what it’s doing - but it’s still going to read like the black tongue of Mordor to you if you’re not familiar with how this kind of type stuff is structured and used.

And factoring all that stuff out may help readability but it doesn’t help comprehension - try and trace what the actual underlying type definitions for some of those utility types like IdentityEqual<> are actually doing (look at https://github.com/unional/type-plus/blob/main/packages/type...) and realize the rabbit hole runs deep in this stuff.
I don’t know but doing so while approaching a bridge could also qualify as recklessly dangerous.
I'd probably care because of the ecosystem. There's a bunch of developer tooling and mature ORMs around postgres. Granted, those same libraries/frameworks probably work with sqlite too.

I guess it's just trust. I trust postgres more than I trust sqlite for building big apps.

One last point: I'd look at feature set of both offerings. I suspect the features of the postgres offering to be more conducive to scale.

This definitely kills the low-intent watcher. Twitch sends me daily emails to hop on and watch streamers that I follow. Every once in awhile, I'm not busy so I click the link, "Sure I'll watch that person write OCaml...". And 30 seconds in, I'm almost ALWAYS, "nah... I'm not into sitting here this long, I didn't even intend to be here".

If they could let someone watch like 3 to 5 minutes, they could likely increase engagement.
In the 3D printer market it has been pretty common to be moving micro SD cards around for that. A few printers use USB A, and there are mods to swap to full size SD cards/internet connectivity for getting your files to your printer, but micro SD was the standard until just recently.

I think using slack asynchronously (and developing norms that support it) is useful. Also imo there's an unspoken tradeoff when you work for a full remote company across time zones. Most workers seem comfortable with trading the convenience of remote work for the possibility of getting pinged outside work hours.

> there is no need to support three phases and there is no skin effect. AC systems use a higher peak voltage for the same power, increasing insulator costs

> This is because direct current transfers only active power and thus causes lower losses than alternating current, which transfers both active and reactive power.

> Nevertheless, for a long AC overhead transmission line, the current flowing just to charge the line capacitance can be significant, and this reduces the capability of the line to carry useful current to the load at the remote end. Another factor that reduces the useful current-carrying ability of AC lines is the skin effect, which causes a nonuniform distribution of current over the cross-sectional area of the conductor. Transmission line conductors operating with direct current suffer from neither constraint. Therefore, for the same conductor losses (or heating effect), a given conductor can carry more power to the load when operating with HVDC than AC

Basically, while heat losses are the same, the AC system requires extra power to constantly be switching the electron flow whereas in a DC system there’s only active power to move the electrons and the only loss is heat loss. Additionally, for a given conductor, HVDC can be transferring at the peak rated voltage for the wire whereas AC can only transfer that voltage at the peak which means it’s 71% less power (although that’s more a cost savings thing).
Can't you buy a CNC mill/router that can cut metal more precisely than a CNC plasma cutter?

I wrote a book on LangChain and LlamaIndex about 14 months ago, and at the time I thought that RAG style applications were great, but now I am viewing them as being more like material for demos. I am also less enthusiastic about LangChain and LlamaIndex; they are still useful, but the libraries are a moving target and often it seems best to just code up what I need by hand. The moving target issue is huge for me, updating my book frequently has been a major time sync.

I still think LLMs are the best AI tech/tools since I started getting paid to be an AI practitioner in 1982, but that is a low bar of achievement given that some forms of Symbolic AI failed to ever scale to solve real problems.
I don't think it would be. I read parent post as "when pressed enough to trigger the switch, the brake pedal has priority and disables acceleration." There may be a tiny amount of pressure that you can put on the brake pedal before it detects the press.
The benchmark is not comparing apples to apples.

prost is the most widely used Protobuf implementation in Rust, maintained by the Tokio organization. prost generates structs and serialization/deserialization code for you.

easyproto according to GitHib Search is used only by two projects. easyproto provides primitives for serializing and deserializing Protobuf, and requires hand writing code to do both.

A fair comparison would be prost vs google.golang.org/protobuf, or easyproto vs parts of quick-protobuf.

In most cases you can make Go as fast as Rust, but from my experience writing performance-sensitive code in Go requires significantly larger time investment and overall requires deeper language expertise. Pebble (RocksDB replacement in Go by CockroachDB) is a good example of this, the codebase is littered with hand-inlined[1] functions, hand-unrolled loops and it's not[2] even using Go memory management for performance critical parts, it's using the C memory allocator and manual memory management.

I think this is configurable on the streamer's end. I watch a lot of PirateSoftware and he's talked about how choosing to run ads at certain intervals vs running them before the stream starts affected his viewership levels. I don't immediately have a video of him saying that, but I imagine there's a YouTube short where he describes that.

All things considered though, I think you are right that the option that forces it at the beginning of the stream is obnoxious and affects the interest of those intending to stream. There's likely a better way (similar to your suggestion) that gets people involved in the stream first.

In normal driving (EV or ICE), no.

There's some corner cases where using both can be beneficial (like heel-toe downshifts with manual gearboxes, or changing the way torque is steered on AWD), but they're generally pretty far removed from the way that driving is usually taught or performed.
I'm in this picture and I don't like it. :P

I used to use my Proton account a decent amount, but for the last several years I haven't needed it, and it's been sitting there unused. I'll probably let it lapse and be deactivated.
Remind me who shut down the Stade Nuclear Power Plant in 2003 and the Obrigheim Nuclear Power Plant in 2005.
Uh, the problem with stuck accelerators isn't that you can't get the car to slow down. I'm sure that's possible in the Tesla too.

The problem is that by the time you've reacted to the sudden unexpected acceleration and found a way to get the vehicle to stop, you may have already crashed or run something over or something. This is true on your car with a physical transmission as well.

This is all assuming that the brake overrides the accelerator (which it really really should, especially on an electric car where it's all computerized).
The M2 MBA can be specced up to 24GB. 32 would be awfully nice for local models, but 24 vs 16 is a decent bump in what models can be run (and at what quant). I debated a long time over the 16 vs 24 and ended up making the right choice (local AI was not in my mind at the time at all).

A lot of the IT depts in medium to large size companies I've talked to routinely do repairs on their hardware, e.g. swapping out laptop motherboards, memory, drives, etc as part of maintenance (on and off warranty). Hardware explicitly designed for changing major components easier would probably save them time and money.
I disagree that it matters beyond sanitation, although I admit that’s a matter of preference. In any case, it isn’t life-or-death, environmental catastrophe level stuff.
>(1) the elimination of the radome, (2) the removal of sonar for parking, (3) the removal of turn signal and shifter stalks

Alternative explanation of this is if they have a vision to move users to a self driving future, it makes sense to start slowly transitioning users by eliminating things that don't make sense in that paradigm. If you can save some cost then its a bonus. (Their cars supposedly get ~30% margins so idk if cost was even really a primary rather than a secondary consideration).
Ah, I remember reading more or less the same exact thing on /. in 1992, the first (among many) Year of the Linux Desktop. The intervening, holy crap, 32 years have shown that open source is awesome when it scratches a developer/sysadmin itch and your primary customer base are devs/sysadmins. As soon as you want to sell to average Joe users, you need PMs, and UX people, and testers, etc, and the OSS business models have in fact never achieved to get those in the picture: not once in 32 years, an entire generation.

In fact, 32 years later I would go as far as to say that Microsoft has been deviously clever in promoting Open Source as its Great Enemy, the Nemesis that will bring it down. And while we were all busy promoting Libre Office and what have you, Lotus died, Ami Pro died, Word Perfect died. I.e. commercial companies with half a chance to be actual, true, competition. Open Source will not kill Microsoft. Better commercial software is the only thing that can.
Will there be any effort to support self hosting open source (releases, docs, support?), instead of just "source code available"?
AFAICT China isn't dumping. They're subsidizing internal consumption.

A Chinese EV is ~$10,000 cheaper in China than it is outside of China. This is a massive advantage to Chinese vehicle manufacturers. They can scale up production using the internal market, and then use that scale to push down the external unsubsidised price.

Pretty much exactly the same as the US. An American EV is about $10,000 cheaper in the US than elsewhere. $7500 because of the rebate, and the rest in shipping and other costs.
> People from different cultures are different. Not because of race, but because of cultural socialization, which persists for generations even in a new host country. In a democracy, those cultural differences will be reflected in the government and society of the new country.

Yes, this is indeed the precise excuse given for every single wave of immigration in US history for hundreds of years. Yet somehow we're still here, leading the world economically, politically, and culturally, watching as the frightened closed societies of Europe and Asia circle their wagons and fade into oblivion.

That may win when the budget deadlines come.

But underlying this was the European Union not liking being dependent upon the American monopoly of operating systems and other key software, particularly closed source proprietary American government controlled software.

I think everyone is looking around and seeing that the era of free trade, relative peace, and good relations based on trade is dead with the Ukraine war heralding a new age.
> that wealth (in the form of raw resources) was completely useless and dormant without the labor to exploit it

Arguably, the bulk of the "raw resources" which have accumulated to US business interests came from eg Latin America, from which Europe and later America pulled rubber, silver, beef, copper, chocolate and a thousand others. Neither have we stopped; where do you think Nestlé's palm kernel oil comes from? Not the raw resources within our borders.

I recommend everyone read "No Wall They Can Build" and "Open Veins of Latin America".

We think that RAG is fundamentally limited:

https://www.aryn.ai/post/rag-is-a-band-aid-we-need-llm-power...

We call our approach - Luna — LLM-powered unstructured analytics. We do see a world where LLMs are used to answer questions, but it’s a more complex compound AI system that references a corpus (knowledge source), and uses LLMs to process that data.

The discussion around context sizes is a red herring. They can’t grow as fast the demand for data.

The discussion around agents needs a lot more thinking through. They’re likely to specialize — ours will be coming with strategies for answering questions — ie query planning.
They are telling themselves that and they want others to believe that reality. But it's not based on what's happening in the real world.
