Liberalism as an ideology can be derived from two axioms:

1) All people are moral equals

2) There is no moral oracle

It follows from these that no person has a source of moral authority to impose their views on another. What gives you or anyone else the moral right to intervene in someone else's family, presumably by force, over their objections? This isn't a rhetorical question. I'm earnestly hoping for a clear answer.

Liberalism is the ideology responsible for our prosperity. Liberal literature is also pretty clear about what it is:

> Liberty consists in the freedom to do everything which injures no one else; hence the exercise of the natural rights of each man has no limits except those which assure to the other members of the society the enjoyment of the same rights. - Declaration of the Rights of Man - 1789

Centralized authority, no matter how well-meaning, has failed at every turn. Raising hateful, illiterate children injures no one else. More fundamentally, I think it's critical to separate your personal moral compass from a moral framework you are comfortable using force to impose on other people. The first step on the path to evil is thinking you know better.
Well, no, he didn't meet those conditions according to the court of Delaware. And now he wants to flaunt this ruling by trying again and re-incorporating in Texas.
Whoa, in the UK they changed Coca Cola to contain "only" 11.4g carbohydrates. I think that was a response to the Soft Drinks Industry Levy of 2018. To me it tastes the same but without the stickiness that made me want to brush my teeth immediately afterwards.
I'm not a Nestle fan, but I'm not sure they're evil and they're nowhere close to the most evil company. One well-documented prime example would be Krupp: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Arms_of_Krupp
Until recently (that is, until today), Delta wasn't even available in the app store to begin with. And most likely it and that would still be without the alternative store, since Apple is only eventually allowing it to make a point.
Can you elaborate more on the falling apart? I can see pgvector being intimidating for users with no experience standing up a DB, but I don't see how Postgres or pgvector would fall apart. Note, my reason for asking is I'm planning on going all in with Postgres, so pgvector makes sense for me.
Yes. That’s the reason for the 140 character limit.

Yes! I hope, if it’s proven, that it will be implemented into the main inference engines.

40% effort is only a bit faster than a full base multiplication, but I hope both the speed and the accuracy could be improved further.

Never mind right to repair, of all the advancements, maintaining the new machines has always been the obvious new job that gets created. We created the loom and fired everybody? Well now there's a loom engineer job waiting for (some) of you. What happens to society when, instead of having a robot-fixing job, the robots can fix themselves? AGI is a distraction; much like the Turing test turned out to be the wrong test. It's not the problem of how can I fix the one robot I've taken out a second mortgage to buy that I'm worried about, it's when can I buy two robots and they can fix each other that I'm worried about. Because then there is no new job being created.

European Data Protection Board: 'Consent or Pay' models should offer real choice
In summary: 'consent or pay' Meta strategy is considered not conform to GDPR.

EDPB Chair, Anu Talus added: “Controllers should take care at all times to avoid transforming the fundamental right to data protection into a feature that individuals have to pay to enjoy. Individuals should be made fully aware of the value and the consequences of their choices.”
In addition to this Art. 64(2) Opinion, the EDPB will also develop guidelines on ‘consent or pay’ models with a broader scope and will engage with stakeholders on these upcoming guidelines.

And the irony is that they had to develop the entire store just so that they could bypass the walled garden.
In many languages, you can't just optimize + b - b willy-nilly, as there could be side effects and non-obvious interactions abound. For instance, in JavaScript, where everything is a 64-bit double, a + b - b is definitely not the same as a, given large enough or small enough a or b. In LLVM for floats as well, certainly.

Solana Developers Release Software Update to Alleviate Network Congestion
The Solana developers have recommended a new software update, version 1.17.31, for general use by mainnet validators. The release, which aims to address the congestion problem that has plagued the popular blockchain in recent months, contains improvements designed to alleviate the ongoing network congestion.

Key points:

Version 1.17.31 marks the start of a series of scheduled upgrades targeted at reducing network congestion.
The patch includes improvements in data packet handling, node classification based on stake, and default settings.
Congestion issues have been attributed to an influx of spam transactions and increased activity related to meme coin frenzy.
Version 1.18, targeted for release this month, will focus on making transaction scheduling more deterministic.

Rex St John, head of developer relations at Anza, the team responsible for rolling out Monday’s update, stated that version 1.17.31 is just the beginning of a series of planned updates to address the network’s congestion issues.

Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko noted that it typically takes about 30 incremental updates, or patch releases, to develop and confirm a major software version.

Solana Developers Address Congestion Issues
An influx of spam transactions, with bots attempting to prioritize their activities over those of regular users, has been largely responsible for the recent congestion issues on the Solana network.

A significant surge in transactions associated with recently launched meme coins has worsened this problem. Consequently, there has been an unprecedented demand for block space on the network, resulting in limited access for numerous users.

The update in version 1.17.31 focuses on prioritizing transactions from “good” validators, defined as those with substantial stakes, to a node leader for final confirmation.

This prioritization system ensures that Solana validators with higher stakes receive a superior level of service, thereby thwarting potential attempts by lower-quality validators to lag the network with transactions.

I think you're reading that comment rather uncharitably, I interpreted "description of reality" to be a synonym of "model".
While the wet-tank concept has been explored since Skylab, that's a lot of work to do before your station becomes habitable - and where do you stay while doing the work?

Launching inflatable stations inside the cargo area of Starship seems to be a much better approach, as all the fitting-out can be done on Earth, so the station is immediately inhabitable.
Cydia was the first alternate app store.
I'm trying to understand this approach. Maybe I am expecting too much out of this basic approach, but how does this create a similarity between words with indices close to each other? Wouldn't it just be a popularity contest - the more common words have higher indices and vice versa? For instance, "king" and "prince" wouldn't necessarily have similar indices, but they are semantically very similar.
I have little faith in crowd sourced human detection because I've been accused of botness a few times, but to the best of my knowledge I'm not one. Which is probably what a bot would say.
I wholeheartedly agree with both of you.

On the one hand, you could argue that taking advantage of the IRS deciding not to bother with air miles is wrong.

On the other hand, if you decided to include air miles as taxable on your return, you might be obeying the letter of the law.

This reminds me of the central plot point of The Good Place, which I won’t spoil here, but will paraphrase indirectly: “at what point (if any) is it acceptable to stop considering the second- and higher-order consequences of our actions or inactions?”

I tend to hew toward your 2(b). If even the IRS isn’t going to bother, why would I if it won’t meaningfully matter?

OMG, so on top of it all, it's a Nokia.

One thing I and other programmers do that increases productivity is to write a programming language specific to the task. In particular, it allows the programmer to factor out a cross-cutting concern as a language feature.

It's depressing as hell that a company like Nestle was allowed to buy a company like Roundtree.

It's a reminder that no matter what a company's founder's principles are as soon as it goes public it's a target to have all that reversed by people with no principles at all.

At least Roundtree's foundation survives.

Thats the point.

Who survives in a down turn?

It's not the folks who are "pragmatic" its not the folks who give up...

You work with two people, Bob who punches the clock and Bill who puts in the time to get the extra work done. You move on to a new job and your boss says "we need someone new on your team, Bob and Bill are here".

You're not picking Bob, Bill gets your vote.

Dont be an asshlole be known as at the hard worker, be helpful (maybe have to do some extra work)... your going to get picked when people are looking. Your old boss is part of your network, and so are your peers (who might end up your boss)...

All those people who are survivors, who put in extra work, have strong networks who know that they are strong hires in a tight market.

I dont own a phone, but to me a beeper is an okay compromise. During the quest to find one, I came across some really cool things.

- Some beepers are made to only RX, not TX, as to not skew results of medical equipment

- Basically 2 companies, operating with antequated websites (and prices) still provide service at the historic prices

- Beepers are still sold today, new in box

- Two-way pagers have been almost totally displaced from the market (lack of service and hardware) despite being more advanced than regular beepers.

Anybody want to share a testimonial about their current beeper for someone who's looking for a good option?

Good take and I agree totally. I visit reddit daily and avoid the front page like the plague. I'm sure I miss a lot of interesting stuff but the time-killing rabbit holes and concentrated venomous vitriol I don't miss.
Anyone have any experience building with Solana? vs. other blockchains? Also, is the congestion just a function of high-usage on the chain or crappy code? both?
That's just so sad...

At one time, monkeys & people living together peacefully. Then, people feeding monkeys (not wise). Problem gets out of hand, gets ignored too long, and now: draconian measures needed.

Just stop feeding the monkeys! Then (given time) problem solves itself.
Everyone wants to assume causation from correlation.

I would posit that it’s a cumulative effect from many generations and mostly heritable.

I recall in the 90's we would add 911 if it was urgent and 420 if it was about drugs. We would also end with our 3-digit 'pager code' to identify who sent the message.

I think this highly depends on the manager. Some know (Manager A), and either work to correct it, or get their ducks in a row to fire them. Plenty of managers, though, (Manager B) have no idea what a reasonable amount of work output is, and can be easily convinced that what took 1-2 hours to do constituted an entire 40 hour week. You get some developer who's good at "managing upward" and they'll bullshit/charm and walk all over that manager. Often these managers are themselves "managing upward" to their directors, and so on up the chain, resulting in an entire reporting line successfully doing nothing.

It doesn't matter that the slacker's peers know exactly what is going on. They're too busy doing their own work, and if they complain about it to Manager B, they won't be believed.

It is not possible to infect 8-bit computers from the 1970s and early 1980s with malware. The operating system is on a dedicated chip that would have to be physically replaced with a new chip that contains the crippled OS. This is in stark contrast to more modern computers where the OS can be modified by software (e.g. malware).
The word "freedom" does not appear in the article. The loss of freedom from a smoking ban should at least be acknowledged. Trying to ban smoking will create a black market whose products may be more dangerous than the current ones. Eric Garner died after an arrest for selling single cigarettes from packs without tax stamps. Bans don't enforce themselves. Do we want police going after people selling cigarettes?
I follow @dvassallo for a long time. Everything start making sense once you realize that he his using his twitter as a way to funnel customers to his other ventures.

I love a lot of his takes because they make me think but it is clear that he is trying to find some edgy takes that will make people react.
I agree. There is zero upside in Marques and his crew lying about a product for backchannel sponsorship dollars; only downside. Make bad products, get bad reviews. I especially love how he obliterated Fisker for putting out an incomplete product (Fisker Ocean) at Model Y prices.
I really like Astro and Quik.

If you want to take a step further start from a template like astrowind.

It's opinionated performant and works really well with react, Svelte, or any other fe framework. You can even mix and match them.

But for what you are looking for you are better served by combining it with firebase or a firebase clone.
“““
So instead, let's flip the matrix, sort the elements row-wise, and revisit the multiplications from that direction.

This is called a Compressed Sparse Row (CSR) format by the smart people. To do the multiplication now, we take, say, the 1 from the vector, multiply it by 256, and add it into the output vector at the 3rd row. And so on.

Now, let's see what happens if we truncate the last column - the one with the lowest values.
”””

How does csr works with reduced numbers multiplication?

It's interesting that you mentioned big band with Django, as I have both lumped together in my head as well; things that are much more impressive live than on a recording. Stepping into a venue where people are actually dancing to live to a jazz or swing band, and to not just hear but feel the deafening blast of horns are things you just can't get from a recording. I get a weird nostalgia for those live moments when I hear recordings.

Also FWIW I like Django, but I don't know if that it's aged poorly or if it's just mostly the same across a lot of his material and that the genre itself was played out over time. It's become "hokey" as some would call it and, perhaps, since we were never there we apply our modern perceptions to it.

That said, a few bangers still stand out on the recordings and some of the solos and tempo changes are cool, even by today's standards.
How does this enable cosine similarity usage? I don't get the link between incrementing a word's index by it's count in a text and how this ends up with words that have similar meaning to have a high cosine similarity value
> Essentially there's a cheap upgrade option available for each die

Hmm, I think you missed what my actual point was.

You can buy a card with the cheap die for $270.

You can buy a card with the expensive die for $1000.

So far, so good.

The cost of just the memory upgrade for the cheap die is $60.

The cost of just the memory upgrade for the expensive die is $3000.

None of that $3000 is going toward upgrading the bus width. Maybe one percent of it goes toward upgrading the circuit board. It's a huge market segmentation fee.

> As a side note, I would expect the the GDDR chips to be x32, rather than 16.

The pictures I've found show the 7600 using 4 ram chips and the 7600 XT using 8 ram chips.
I am so glad Masayoshi sold BD to Hyundai so Elon didn’t get his hands on them. They can easily go public for $10B.
Maybe the idea is to order your vocabulary into some kind of “semantic rainbow”? Like a one-dimensional embedding?
One (future) Starship's payload bay alone has more volume than the ISS—that's not counting the fuel tank volume that shares a common bulkhead. The payload bay takes up just ~1/3rd of the spacecraft length.

- "The Starship spacecraft is 50.3 m (165 ft) tall and 9 m (30 ft) in diameter. It uses 6 Raptor engines, three of which are optimized for use in vacuum.[6][22] The engines produce 14,700 kN (3,300,000 lbf) of thrust.[17] The vehicle's payload bay is planned to measure 17 m (56 ft) tall and 8 m (26 ft) in diameter with an internal volume of 1,000 m3 (35,000 cu ft); slightly larger than the ISS's pressurized volume.[23]"

It's fine for things that people don't have a commercial interest in manipulating. But yeah for buying mainstream products (laptops, TVs, hoovers etc.) it's completely useless. Even Amazon reviews are better (at least in the UK; I understand they may be worse in America).

You are expecting too much out of this basic approach. The "simple" similarity search in word2vec (used in https://semantle.com/ if you haven't seen it) is based on _multiple_ embeddings like this one (it's a simple neural network not a simple embedding).
