I’d love to see two types of upvotes on the site. One for “thanks for answering/engaging” and another for “this answer is correct and high quality”. Not sure how you’d restrict or verify the votes, but I think the issue you’re pointing out is a result of only having one metric of engagement.

Yes. I've been specifically told that they are unable or unwilling to do anything about the slackers, but "understand the situation."
I'm not sure it has ever been about complexity or cost.

Right now no regular user has the technical ability to fiddle with a phone's laminated screen glued to a touch matrix paired with a fingerprint sensor and a camera, so we're alreay past the complexity threshold.

But we could still reuse a screen block from phone A on phone B, except that's been forbidden by technical measures specially added to prevent it.

The same way we could probably replace a whole leg with another from a robot from the same series, except it will be DRMed to death.

We'll have to eternally push for regulation I think, companies will always try their best to fuck with repairability.

I have a similar story, used to drink a litre of coke every couple of days when I was 15. At some point I decided I didn't want that life any more and quit. It's been several years now and I still can't stand the taste of coke. It just tastes so artificial with an awful after taste; and I've never really had a sweet tooth anyway.

Just regular ol' water is eternal
There needs to be more fidelity than "vote with wallet". Let's say I decided to not purchase your product. Why?

The question remains unanswered. Perhaps I didn't see it for sale or Bob in accounting just got one and I didn't want to look like I was copying Bob.

Even at scale this doesn't work. Let's say Lenovo switches to making all of their laptops hot pink with bedazzled rhinestone butterflies and sales plummet. You could argue it was the wrong pink or that the butterflies didn't shimmer enough ... any hypothesis you wish.

The market provides an extremely low information poor signal that really doesn't suggest any course of action.

If we really want something better, there needs to be more fruitful and meaningful communication lines. I've come up with various ideas over the years but haven't really implemented them.

hard to say for now, I’m curious as well, but I used simpler tests so far because of the implementation issues - most test suites are geared towards testing models and not model implementation.

I didn’t want to wait any longer with the release, but better tests will be coming soon I hope. Anecdotally, I think 30% effort should be comparable to Q8z

More importantly, this algorithm should work on top of Q8. The quality is not yet certain though - I could use help with the implementation.
Or you just shove it into Postgres + pg_vector and just use the DBMS you already use anyway.
You are witnessing culture propagating beyond algorithmic boundaries. If you find this strange, consider the etymology of jazz itself.
this is pretty cool. it would be nice to be able to use it as a library/with bindings outside of Python, but I know beggars can't be choosers ;-)

>>> "The most egregious thing you can do with any activity is daydream about how you can make money off of it. That’s the quickest way to optimize for the wrong things and suck the fun right out of it. Most likely you will stop doing the activity almost immediately, so save the money-making schemes for work."

This is an important point. The quickest way to make something unfun, is to get paid for it! That's because the second you get paid for something is the second you start doing it for someone else, creating value for someone else. you get paid to create value for others, not yourself. Play is creating value for yourself, not others that's why you don't get paid to play.
> Are you saying that the author has no rational to say that?

Sure, instrumental rationale: PR.

And, because I believe that Bostrom says what he means, Bostrom probably does think what he said was repugnant, but probably not in a way that you would find satisfying. Bostrom probably thinks that speaking truthfully about vulnerable people, in a manner that could distress them (e.g. owing to their misunderstanding of the truthful words, or in a "truth hurts" sort of way), is morally repugnant. Better to spare them suffering. If I am correct, I disagree with Bostrom. Having to cater to delicate and low-IQ sensibilities is a wrench in the wheels of intellectual discourse, as well as a dystopian blow to personal expression. Don't let the scolds win.

> It really looks like nowadays we cannot say "that looks racist"

You don't have a license to denigration. Think very carefully, and consider the possibility that you are wrong, before you cast stones.

> You can, if you want, defend that according to you this statement was fine and not racist.

But what I quoted contained my rationale? If it ain't good enough for you, the impetus is on you to prove that Bostrom is, in fact, a witch. The ball is in your court.

> Difficult to not see there exactly a "cancelation" of an opinion you just don't like.

Any opinion at all, and especially opinions that differ from my own, I'd welcome at the table, as long as said opinion is articulated and epistemically rationalized by someone who is smart and who has given it careful thought. If you're not capable of that, then yes, your silence would improve the forum.
Because of emergence. Unintuitive properties that arise from the aggregate interactions of discrete entities. Temperature is an emergent property arising from the movement of all atoms within a space. There are no hot and cold atoms.

The graviton doesn't exist. Gravity emerges from the interaction of matter (energy?) with spacetime. They are literally inseparable in our version of the universe.

For those still looking for the graviton, the reasoning has led to the realization that you would create a black hole if you made the device that could detect it (as I understand it).

> A fresh boot of plasma eats up around 666MB of RAM. Not much more than the so called lightweight distros,

I used Xfce for well over a decade; maybe closer to two. It has long been one of the so-called lightweight environments, and it deserved that reputation when I started with it, but its memory footprint has grown significantly over the years. I don't think it makes a good benchmark for "lightweight" any more.

I'm on Plasma now. It has definitely improved in this department over the same period of time, but it's not what I would consider light. More like middleweight. To be fair, it also seems to be doing more than old Xfce did, with things like QtWebEngine presumably offering GUI functionality of some kind. (Akonadi was another memory eater when I last did a default install, though I think that one is easier to avoid these days.) If wonder if LXQt shuns components like that, or loads them only when needed.

For an article extolling the benefits of embeddings for developers looking to dip their toe into the waters of AI it's odd they don't actually have an intro to embeddings or to vector databases. They just assume the reader already knows these concepts and dives on in to how they use them.

Sure many do know these concepts already but they're probably not the people wondering about a 'good starting point for the AI curious app developer'.
I agree. In my experience all the Coke Diet/Zero/etc varieties has this really distinctive taste and the aftertaste is also quite different from Classic. My husband is a fan of Zero and also claims it tastes the same. He has occassionally poured Zero into a glass for me thinking I couldn't tell the difference. Every single time I take one sip and that's all I need to identify it. YMMV.

Show HN: Manage a portfolio website with lots of projects – ortfo
Hi!

I'm excited to share something I've been working on: ortfo, a collection of tools to make managing portfolio websites with lots of projects easier

Right now only ortfo/db exists, it's the "database" part. The idea is to describe your projects in markdowns files, that you can store alongside the projects themselves, in e.g. my-project/.ortfo/description.md

Then, the CLI collects all those markdown files, plus any media file you reference in them, and creates an easily digestible JSON file with every project in it.

The tool has support for thumbnail generation, specifying tags, technologies (to say that you used e.g. Svelte for a project, FL Studio for a music album or oil painting for a painting), complex layouts (to put stuff pictures side by side for example), proeminent colors extraction, and more.

There's also an "exporter" plugin system to easily upload the resulting json file anywhere, or integrate with static site generators

I'm using it with go-templ to generate my own portfolio site, https://ewen.works (source code is at github.com/ewen-lbh/portfolio)

> For democracy to work, you need an educated public, i.e. electorate, that is reasonably cohesively informed

I argue:
We do not want the Government deciding what "educated" means, or opposing the dictator will be defined as an uneducated stance.

So we need a few objective & market-based measurements where those who fail to meet those measurements are not allowed to participate.

First, you need to be able to feed yourself and keep yourself alive. If you can not do this, you do not need to be voting to take my money to keep yourself fed. This is why ending all wellfare is a good first step.

We must care for the children, especially as we fail to even reproduce at the replacement level. The government can provide for children, and maybe a little bit for displaced workers who can once again be productive. I suggest free dorm rooms at community colleges for the second group. Let them live there for free as long as they are working towards being self-sufficient.

Some will correctly argue that if we end all welfare except for free community college & dorms, there will be an upswing in crime. This is why we need to legalize the use of deadly force to prevent crimes like shoplifting.

A few years later I expect we would have a very different set of election outcomes.

It is possible that I am wrong, but I think my voice should be heard.

King doesn’t need to appear commonly with prince. It just needs to appear in the same context as prince.

It also leaves out the old “tf idf” normalization of considering how common a word is broadly (less interesting) vs in that particular document. Kind of like a shittier attention. Used to make a big difference.
I don't know if I would call a math library that uses templates so liberally "high performance". High performance also includes compile time in my opinion.
What is "more vectors"? How many are we talking about? We've been using pgvector in production for more than 1 year without any issues. We dont have a ton of vectors, less than 100,000, and we filter queries by other fields so our total per cosine function is probably more like max of 5000. Performance is fine and no issues.
>> If I search in the app for "king", most of the top ten results are "ruler" icons

I believe that's the measure of a man.
Uh, what evidence do you have of this "wide scale robotic deployment"? More humanoid robots have been announced lately but that is all I know of.

Humanoid robots have many, many challenges to deployment. Especially, creating a machine that people can safely operate near is extremely challenging. The amount of intelligence person uses to not bump another person is very under rated.
It is an accurate description. The mach ports are waited on through kqueue, and I use kqueue for all other waiters with "standard" fds (i.e. files). But my usage of mach ports (even for a partial use case) make it incompatible with BSD, and even if I didn't use mach ports the kqueue structures used by macOS are slightly different and incompatible anyways, and I don't claim BSD support anywhere.

It's splitting hairs and being a bit pedantic, but you also reordered my descriptions: in the README I always say "macOS (kqueue)" and not the reverse which you incorrectly quoted. I think that makes a small but tangible difference.
How about Grube Messel? Is it similar to Bilzingsleben?
I think the root cause of why managers reward flashy employees over useful ones is because managers are clueless about the work itself. The more a manager understands the work, on a micro level, the more they'll be able to judge it accurately. Note that it doesn't mean micromanagement: you must understand the details, but stop yourself from second-guessing the employees on these details. And it doesn't mean you can't delegate: as long as you have intimate understanding of the details, you're free to delegate and be as hands-off as you want. In fact the best way to delegate is to learn to do the thing well yourself, then delegate it to someone and do occasional spot checks on them.
> Ok, so you didn't know how to do some simple keyboard remapping

This topic is about website input forms, what OS configuration do you need to visit a website? Dang you're being highly inconsistent here. Should this just be an input on a website or an OS level keyboard remap?

You're being quite rude to assume I don't know how to remap keys. I know how, I just don't care keeping a keyboard map on me all the time and remapping everyone's keyboard just because I'd like to type numbers not using the number row. I'd rather just have the muscle memory of being fast with the number row.

> Which laptop allows using uio as 123 when in a numeric input field?

Not uio as 123, but that's not really emulating a computer number pad anyways as a computer number pad has 789 along the top. So not only is it skewed you're wanting it flipped from how normal keyboard numberpads are.

FWIW it was a line of Dell Inspiron laptops in the late 90s and a Compaq laptop in the mid 2000s that had a number pad on the keyboard, however it usually reused the 789 along the top. It wasn't a massively uncommon feature back then, but it definitely wasn't on every laptop. Mostly on business focused machines from my experience.

You're being incredibly hostile to me just saying I used that kind input before and personally didn't care much for it. I'm just sharing my personal experiences using that input you're suggesting for a couple of decades on and off. An input style that clearly wasn't popular enough to continue carrying forward on modern laptops despite being somewhat common decades ago.
We're just using that word for everything we don't like now, aren't we?
Can you explain what this is/means?

Except with all those examples you gave, there are almost not parents that would encourage their child to do that. They would be cautioned over years not to do so. With college that's not the case at all. It is purely happenstance that I don't have loans from school. I knew college was expensive, but the extent of the expense, was not clear to me at all surrounded by a family who had never gone to college. I avoided loans because an in state school happen to be good enough for my teenage dreams and my state had a series of grants for poor and intelligent students. It could have gone very differently though and no one would have told me it was a bad idea.

My late father owned a small commercial radio business for a few decades. It provided sales, install, repair, and repeater service to primarily public safety groups and companies with a fleet of vehicles. A more consumer oriented side to his business was pagers through Metrocall.

A major drug dealer in our region was a kid in my high school. He leased a pager from my dad's company. During the investigation, authorities had my dad create a cloned pager. They could then record all pages sent to the drug dealer, about 6k in as many months, to track his activities and build their case.
Putting a paywall on Twitter is a sure way to kill what isn't already dead, I approve.
It's pretty. I like the tail call. Sadly jumping over the initialisation of map then calling a function on it can't work, plus the leak. Maybe introducing cannot-fail default constructors is the way to go, allowing something like:

intstack_t stack = intstack_default();
intmap_t map = intmap_default();
regex_compare_t res = regex_out_of_memory;

stack = intstack_create(256);
if (!intstack_valid(stack)) goto out_of_memory;

map = intmap_create(16);
if (!intmap_valid(map)) goto out_of_memory;

res = regex_canonical_equivalent_with_structures(cache, x, y, &stack, &map);

out_of_memory:
intstack_destroy(stack);
intmap_destroy(map);
return res;

It should be possible to structure things so one doesn't accumulate stack frames and also keeps the resource logic separate from the implementation but it's not immediately obvious to me what a pretty way to do that is.
> then the people ultimately doing the "lifting" are the ones buying the products the Chinese factories are producing

You know money is just paper, right? When we give China paper in return for something of value from their country, that is a bad deal for them unless they can trade the paper and get some actual good in return. China runs a trade surplus, which means they give away more than they get back, so it is actually a bad deal for them. It's one that makes their country poorer because they are giving away more than they get back. Almost all economists agree that China's trade surplus is bad for its economy, is even worse for its citizens, and should be reduced.

People in China were lifted out of poverty through the creation of manufacturing centres. These cities and factories were built by the Chinese, not by the west. It is ridiculous for us to try and take credit for their advancement when all we have done is exploit them.
For me Zero tastes quite different and quite unpleasant. I had the same senstation of unpleasant flavour with Diet as well. If the only option was Zero/Diet/etc I probaly would just give up Coke altogethrer.

I expect we'll see some AI companies in the future throwing away the training dataset. Maybe some have already.

During a court case, the other side can demand discovery over your training dataset, for example to see if it contains a particular copyrighted work.

But if you've already deleted the dataset, you're far more likely to win any case against you that hinges on what was in the dataset if the plaintiff can't even prove their work was included.

And you can argue that the dataset was very expensive to store (which is true), and therefore deleted shortly after training was complete. You have no obligation to keep something for the benefit of potential future plaintiffs you aren't even aware of yet.
