The "not overcomplicate" way is to buy Microsoft, DELL or Lenovo. I'd assume it would need near 0 paperwork for that.

It looks like the compute for the free tier is free (for your main branch) + 20h for branches, but the lowest paid tier is 300h for all branches. Can anyone using this speak to that? I've seen this trend where free tier has better features than the lowest paid tier.

Interestingly, the wikipedia page for Linux Torvalds says he's "Finnish / American" rather than just Finnish:

So "European" probably has some validity through this chain, though "American" probably does too. :)
Most underrated framework machine is the Chromebook edition. Firmware is solid and loaded up with 2 TB NVME and 64GB DDR. It's x86 with hyper threaded cores and nested virtualization support. Runs android apps, and any distro you want via crostini. Supports docker, KVM (windows and macOS) from crostini. USB passthrough to crostini is super easy via ChromeOS settings panel.

Only thing I really miss is passing a PCI device to crostini like you can do with USB. In dev mode I have seen indications it may be possible but no luck yet. Passing the iGPU or a thunderbolt PCI device to crostini, then to a VM would be so awesome.
you would still need to run. For js based websites.

I work in advertising - Twitch ads are obscenely expensive relative to other online video ads. Their USP is, supposedly, the high view-through-rate and a hard to reach demographic with disposable income. That being said, I worked with an ISP trying to target gamers, it was 4x cheaper just to target gamers on YouTube than to run ads on Twitch.

Amazon is starting to get more serious about selling ads though (Prime Video ads), but Google/Meta have had such a headstart I don't think they will catch up.
This sounds like the Bohmian pilot wave theory (which is a global formulation of QM). ... Which might be not that crazy, since spooky action at a distance is already a given. And in cosmology (or quantum gravity) some models are describing a region of space based only its surface. So in some sense the universe is much less information dense, than we think.

Humans are only capable of principled reasoning in domains where they have expertise. We don't actually do full causal reasoning in domains we don't have formal training in. We use all sorts of shortcuts that are similar to what LLMs are doing.

If you consider AlphaTensor or other products in the Alpha family, it shows that feedback can train a model to super-human levels.

Supabase is one of the most portable platforms out there.

The whole stack is self-hostable and open source. All of the data are contained in Postgres. You're one pg_dump away from being able to switch to a different Postgres host. Or if you're switching to something else entirely, you can export the data to CSVs and take it anywhere. But we're confident you won't want to :)

Colin Chapman, "guy who made lotus" had the maxim "Simplify, then add lightness" had similar guidance.

Take everything out of the race car, then if something breaks add the last thing you took out back in. I imagine he'd get frustrated at a car still running on the victory lap.... "Darn, the wheels are still on we made the wheel hubs too strong."

The problem here is safety. Making a race car that disintegrates as it crosses the finish line is best for winning a race, but probably isn't terribly robust in an accident.

I don't think Musk is trying to make "barely safe enough" cars, but he is exploring a bunch of design limits. I think the CT specifically is an engineering sample or beta program for the model 2, designed to have low uptake and validate a bunch of _really_ big changes to "normal car" architecture. When some of those gambles turn out to be bad after 2 years, they'll have to fix thousands of dud trucks not millions of model 2s.
I agree that you need to code for some level of intelligence in the first place. But I think you need to go further and show that there is genetically-driven variation in those traits among humans. Otherwise it may be that the variation is due to socialisation or epigenetic factors.
As comes up whenever the "waiting for a new code" issue is discussed, you can enter that "old" code for usually up to 30 seconds. You don't need to wait.

>nothing in this country for the past two centuries was actually built by the white European protestants

A good example of the Motte and Bailey technique: the only way this statement is even approximately true is if "actually built" is interpreted narrowly to mean unskilled physical labor in the sun, but the writer hopes the reader will unconsciously become sympathetic to a broad interpretation of "actually built" to mean something like "wealth creation" even though most wealth creation over the last 200 years was the result of inventing things, explaining those inventions to others and organizing labor (through professional corporate managers, finance and government policy) which of course in the US was done mostly by white protestants.

Hah, too many copilots… let me try to clarify:

We are building CopilotKit = a framework + platform for building context-aware AI assistants into any application (not necessarily coding related applications).

Part of CopilotKit is about giving the Copilot / AI agents access to the application through a typed "inline realtime API". And to make ergonomics great for _our_ users, CopilotKit ships with hardcore type programming.

Cursor's Copilot (unrelated to CopilotKit) helped us write this type code (that's what went viral). And yes, GitHub Copilot is a mis-attribution.

Yeah I agree. I think twitch does too since as a streamer you have the ability disable pre roll ads for your stream by running an ad (it will disable pre roll for a set amount of time).

It seems like they’re using it to incentivize streamers to run more ads so they’ll get better retention by turning off pre roll.

I wonder if someone actually did a long-term study to generate evidence for a causal link that not being able to go to specific conference(s) actually "harmed" science?

On a side note, the same citizenship privilege would also "harm" any other industry market. E.g., there are tons of talented engineers and programmers in "global south" (or insert a more PC term for the under-developed countries) who face years of waiting time to get their work-visa. In extreme cases, there are some companies who do not have a proper visa-support team so they prefer not to hire people such countries.

It shouldn't surpise anyone that being born in the wrong part of the world plays a monumental role in terms of the oppprtunities to which one is exposed.
Not sure either... unless it means a workflow where instead of chunking your knowledgebase docs and generating embeddings, you do entity and relationship extractions on them instead and store an index of knowledge graph serialisations to source documents.

And what is HTMX? A 44KB-minified JavaScript library! So this statement is false.

It's not "beyond". It's just a different job, and generally speaking, one with a lower bar to entry. Doesn't mean it's not useful, but I think it's silly to talk as though this sort of design is so significant. Plenty of ugly buildings exist; all designed by architects.

I'd argue LibreOffice is not going to make things any better. If you want to do something in Excel but don't know how, a simple Google search will lead you to tons of toturial articles, Q&A pages from IT departments of random universities and YouTube videos. Even if it's a missing feature, chances are that someone has asked about it, and another person points out it's not available and potentially suggest a workaround.

On the other hand, if you run into an issue with LibreOffice...

(Neon PM) If your project uses less than 500 MiB storage, our Free plan might be the best plan for you. If your project needs more storage, branches or larger compute then a paid plan might be a better fit: with Launch you can run your project 24/7 at $19/month.
If you're using evil or something similar, I would say that's probably the culprit. Writing in org mode using vanilla emacs should have about the same "surprise" as writing in Notepad. If you have speedkeys enabled (which I doubt is the default), then yes - certain keys at certain positions will cause surprising behavior.
Ungoogle yourself. Don't rely on google. I had transferred a quite valuable DID number to my Project Fi phone. Due to unfortunate circumstances I was not able to pay for a while. I lost:

1. The valuable number

2. Access to my Gmail Account. I know my PW but gmail won't let me log into gmail without confirming with the number that I lost. Hence, my gmail account is gone

3. Paid apps. I lost apps I paid for and that were linked to my phone or email, e.g. threma, insync etc.

Had a lawyer write to google. No answer. Don't rely on google for anything important. I have a new gmail for my Android. I don't even know it out of my head since I don't use it. Why would I?

RAG is a fantastic solution and I think it's here to stay one way or another. Yes the libs surrounding it are lacking because the field is moving so fast and yes I'm mainly talking about LangChain. RAG is just one way of grounding,
that being said I think it's Agent Workflows that will really be the killer here. The idea that you can assist or even perhaps replace an entire task fulfilling unit aka worker with an LLM assisted by RAG is going to be revolutionary.

The only issue right now is the cost. You can make a bet that GPU performance will double every year or even 6 months according to Elon. RAG addresses cost issues today aswell by only retrieving relevant context, once LLMs get cheaper and context windows widen which they will, RAG will be easier, dare I say trivial.

I would argue RAG is important today on its own and as a grounding, no pun intended, for agent workflows.

"AI Focused"

I really wish instead we'd concentrate on stuff like CPU speed and Memory Bandwidth/Latency.
My assumption is that the demographic is hard to reach because they are mostly fluent in ad-blocking.
Their point is that if you "waste" $1B as many as nine times with exploding rockets and it leads to working, good rockets, then its economically better than spending $10B to get it right the first time with no explosions.

Of course there's also environmental harm from exploded rockets, and the potential to never find success before running out of money, but as long as they succeed in getting it working perfectly before they've spent as much as it would cost to be confident of it working on the first launch, they'll be happy.
The irony here is insane
Could you explain what Fedora does better than the Debian-family of distros? I find Fedora's overall performance to be worse than other distros (including Ubuntu).
Thanks! So that 300h of compute is for other branches? Still 24/7 for primary compute on Launch?
Can you build a Trump / Biden voter?
Please do not conflate Debian with the Ubuntu/Mint family. These are very different distros, and actually Mint also has a Debian-based LMDE edition. Fedora is nice but Debian is just rock solid if you stick to the stable release channel. (You'll mostly want to stay away from the Testing and Unstable releases, these are for experimentation not for production uses.)

Production precision is just one of the examples I gave. There are other things that can indicate the quality as well. In this particular case the art is painting and sculpting and those can be done with more and less quality.

Of course there is modern art where it can seem like anything can be considered art but even in those cases there is often work and talent involved. Maybe it's through the selection of which works to make public or the storytelling with the art pieces or coming up with new experiments.
