My complaint isn't about more models in fact, it's about not depending on OpenAI (and not feeding them with data and money), so I would rather have less models (just llama3) rather than more

Engineers Discuss Their Favorite Talks from KubeCon 2024
Sure, but my point is that 1) Pixel has low market share in markets it is available, and 2) there does not appear to be any clamoring for availability from the masses in other markets.

Pixel is a great product for tech enthusiasts. It may even be a good product for the mass market. But bemoaning the lack of sufficient distribution is totally missing the point.
Could probably use tmpfs to store the database, as that defaults to memory (at first at least), I wonder if that is measurably different from mounting a memory based fs.
I love this book. I wish other languages had something similarly held in high regard to provide some touchstone.

Is there something like this for Rust?
It was interesting until they used the apartment collapse in Florida as an example of why the company is valuable. The apartment complex was well aware of the damage; they'd had a thorough inspection done within the year point the defects out in detail. No robots necessary. I worry what other incorrect information is in the article I missed.

So if the BoD is supposed to oversee the executives to ensure that Nestles operations are maximizing shareholder holder returns, and if through the course of overseeing management, Nestle decides to attempt a new strategy for customer retention (sugar addiction), which most certainly was at least mentioned to the board in passing during some update meeting, and if the board did not shut down the initiative because it’s good for shareholder returns (addicted customers are customers for life), then in some ways they are responsible for the company’s actions.
You’re unlikely to find anything useful because everything has been SEOed up af. Useful results, if not already in the SEOed sites, are buried pages deep into the search. Content explosion did not start with generative AI, so search quality has been deteriorating for quite a while.
Yeah, this is correct and I'm not sure what paper GP was thinking of – Chinchilla is only about finding the point at which it would be more useful to scale the model rather than training longer.

Chinchilla optimal scaling is not useful if you want to use the model, just if you want to beat some other model on some metric for the minimal training costs.

Honest answer: People with empathy and knowledge of chemistry and biology care that the company known for child labor among many other scandals is also robbing babies of nutrient in poor countries.
If I just use C with classes, plus smart pointers and auto, for my emulator project(s), would that be a reasonably good approach?

I once heard that the C++ language contains 4 components: the first catalog is "C", the second is for OOP, the third is for productivity and flexibility such as stl and templates, and the last one is for special cases such as volatile, asm, etc. He then recommends to use catalog 1 with care, and avoid scenarios that one has to use catalog 4. Does that make sense?
You can highlight certain elements of a screenshot.
Ah, you're right. The issue is the link switching from http to https (even though the supplied link is http) and Chrome making it difficult (by default) to see whether http or https is being used. If I just copy/paste the link it works fine in Chrome and Edge but clicking on the link they both switch it to https. Brilliant.

Just tested, works fine with Safari (mobile, but desktop usually has the same behavior).

GP's point is that you're not going to significantly reduce the suggested serving size of an essential food on account of having made it sweeter because the other nutrients are still needed.
The Internet as Our Nervous System: From Cloud to Local-First
> The "right" solution you describe sounds overcomplicated and error-prone

It's not particularly. At program start-up, you seed the original PRNG. Then, you generate N numbers from the original PRNG and use those to seed N other PRNGs, then throw away the original PRNG. You don't need to think carefully about domains, you just create a new PRNG for everything you need a random number for. This makes your game easier to debug in a deterministic way, because now reproducing the behavior of one specific action that involves randomness no longer depends on every other action that involves randomness.
I've built dew for this. It "knows" about many of those apps (and where to get a container from). https://github.com/efrecon/dew. Adding a term app is usually just a matter of crafting an .env file with the necessary settings.

Just an aside, when I'm forced to use windows, installing programs with choco is a much better experience.

It's not quite linux package management, but, it beats the pants off any other way.
True, but it's also the best possible thing until they can run an LLM in your browser (or maybe we figure out how to do homomorphic encryption of neural networks).

What else should they call it? I suppose "anonymous" could work (i.e. they only know about you what you tell them).
To be fair, someone should print the online reference material to get the real comparison.. it's not like we have fewer details in the standard library -- footnotes about compatibility with which version(s) and the related semantics could fill a book on its own.
Somebody needs to tell people to stop putting their websites in monospace.
This uses the ObjC runtime to obtain the underlying ObjC method implementation functions, to call directly, instead of relying on the runtime to call them. If you find this more elegant than a wrapper with some ObjC, good for you.
>This is basically how all construction and manufacturing jobs work out, though?

Not really. Any place with a decent QA department would sample a part, compare it to the specification, and raise an alarm because the part differs from the specification. There also should be occasional audits on the build process itself, which should have identified this, as it would differ from the specified process.

This type of issue (again, assuming the articles wording is true -- I have no idea) can only occur if there is either bad/missing QA, or bad/missing specifications.

>But it is very common for changes to get introduced at build time of physical things

Even in construction you need to have changes approved (i.e. a "change order" approved by the architect, engineer, and owner). Even extremely minor changes (which this would not be) must be documented on the "as-built" drawings.
It's not just how much but what kinds. According to this paper[1] there's about 1g - 2.5g of lactose and 30 other oligosaccharides per 100 ml of breast milk depending on if it's colostrum or mature milk.

I don't know how that compares to how much sugar Nestle puts in, but the mix of different sugars and the timing of their introduction are helpful in regulating the baby's gut flora. I doubt the same can be said for just straight up sucrose and honey.

Yes, been waiting for that GP for about 6 years now… treatment for emergencies is great but they won’t do preventive checkups… I’d rather not have to wait for a thing to become an emergency.

Excellent! I have recently started doing the learncpp.com tutorial and I think this book might have come at the right time.
Maybe there is also value in 2d datasets that aren't hand drawn. A lot of TV shows are made in Toon Boom or Adobe Animate (formerly Macromedia Flash). Those also do automatic inbetweening, but with a process that's closer to CSS animations: everything you want to move independently if it's own vector that can be moved, rotated and squished, and the software just interpolates the frames in between with your desired easing algorithm. That's a lot of data that's available on those original project files that's nontrivial to infer from the final product
First edition was the right thickness imho.
I imagine all of the people you listed would be suffering from mental health issues without the need for a conspiracy theory.

I can see some logic in you're hypothetical but there are numerous other causal factors which seem much more likely.
DELETE is faster on a small amount of data.

But yea, DELETEing is faster than creating a DB from template (depends on how much you have to delete, of course). However, templates allow parallelism by giving its test its own database. I ended up doing a mix of both: create a DB if there's not one available, or reuse one if available, always tearing down data.
> The equations don’t agree with observations so we invent a thing we have not observed to explain it.

Yes, and then implications of the invention are followed up on and dark matter has passed a lot of tests and has strong explanatory power (i.e. parsimony, Occam's Razor) over a variety of phenomena, from small dark galaxies up to the matter web structure of the observable universe.

So it has very very strong evidence behind it, at this point. With an unbroken trend of accumulated evidence.

The reason for remaining questions stem from the fact that the small scale nature of dark matter is not yet characterized. Which differs from all other gravitationally active materials we know of - i.e. all the particles in the standard model.

But we don't know the fine structure of space either, and we don't count that against General Relativity. In both cases the large scale properties of each phenomena, that we can measure and model, provides clear reasons why investigating the small scale properties has been challenging.

In both cases, it is the extreme weakness of gravity at small scales, and the low, if any, alternative interactions with the standard model particles we know well.
Maybe they could just set mods behind parental controls. The mod community is a good incubator for what you should maybe add to the game in the next release.
I'm rather confused by the description of events here. The article focuses on the lack of consent, which of course is a very important topic. But the main issue to me here seems to be the use of blood products that were known to be often contaminated.

If it was known that those products had a high chance to be contaminated, no amount of consent would make any of this ethical. The only ethical way to use them would be if there was no alternative available and the potential infection with Hepatitis C or other viruses would be less dangerous than no treatment at all.

Consent is a necessary requirement for an ethical clinical trial. But it is not sufficient by far, the risks and benefit of the trial need to be proportionate for the patients.
Interesting article. You say that different 'spheres' of the Internet controlled by different geographic elites is a problem...but one unified internet controlled by one elite/group of people would be even worse. At least the way I is, we can compare different opinions and seek out alternative truths - however untrustworthy and unreliable they each may be.
Here's my report:

1. Overwatch -> works great in Proton, albeit about 20% slower than Windows

2. Factorio -> works great natively on Linux, maybe even better

3. Warframe -> works okay in Proton but crashes sometimes

4. Call of Duty (recent) -> kernel anti-cheat both fails to stop cheaters and refuses to work on Linux

I tried living the Proton lifestyle for about 2 years, from around 2019 to around late 2021. Then I just dug my old computer out, reinstalled Windows 10, and went back to using Windows for games.
Is Switzerland some internally-accepted authority on how food content is supposed to look like everywhere, and force it down the throat of literally whole world? We know how that would work...

These are private corporations, their HQs are in Switzerland purely for corporate tax reasons, otherwise they would move away long long time ago, given massive salaries required to get & keep top staff.

If given countries were really that concerned and wanted to push for better products sold in their countries, there are numerous ways. They can do literally anything they want back home on their own market, or they can push ie via WTO arbitrage, heck even European courts do handle some Swiss lawsuits.

Or you know, people just educate themselves a trivial bit about nutrition and stop buying stuff that is harmful.

We can have a smart discussion with facts and reality check, or emotional outbursts that lead nowhere.
Wireshark/TShark/PShark

I use T/P Shark to store everything in a local graph database and then perform cluster, outlier, etc on it.

IPInfo API for additional details not in the packet. I have scripts that batch process IP addresses.
Instead of having a dotfiles git repository, I find it more useful to have my entire `.config` directory be in a git repository, and by default ignore everything. My .gitignore then looks like

/*
!.gitignore
!/dotfiles
!/i3
!/git

and so on. Inside the `dotfiles` directory is non-hidden versions of all the home directory dotfiles, and a script to symlink from ~/.bashrc to ~/.config/dotfiles/bashrc.

I also make the .config directory visible; I use ~/config and symlink ~/.config to it.
Swift has just as much concerns for its structs and classes passing across FFI in terms of marshalling/unmarshalling and ensuring the ARC-unaware code performs either manual retain/release calls or adapts them to whatever other mechanism of memory management of the callee.

One of the comments here mentions that Swift has its own stable ABI, which exposes richer type system, so it does stand out in terms of interop (.NET 9 will add support for it natively (library evolution ABI) without having to go through C calls or C "glue" code on iOS and macOS, maybe the first non-Swift/ObjC platform to do so?).

Object pinning in .NET is only a part of equation and at this point far from the biggest concern (it just works, like it did 15 years ago, maybe it's a matter of fuss elsewhere?).
I was just following the running gag, but thanks anyway. I did a bit of C# when, as a sysadmin, I was asked to do some kind of frontend that would hide the pocket pc interface so that employees in an hospital can use those pocket PC to order menus for the patients and not end up using them to browse shit or install unwanted apps.

Security by obscurity in all its glory but they used to do the same with a very easily escapable panel replacing the default windows shell in Win95 and Win98. :)
A person's caloric and nutrient needs will vary from moment to moment, a suggested daily serving is merely an average value for average people used as an objective frame of reference.

And if we're going to argue whether a food has more or too much sugar than other foods, we need to use an objective frame of reference as a point of comparison.

Anyway, the Nestle hate in this overall thread is just as worthless as the Boeing bashing and Musk Derangement Syndrome seen in other threads.
That's why they add glucose to so many foods now... It's sugar but doesn't taste sweet
It’s not horrible, but I found a few odd things, like f-strings w/o params, long cli options with underscores, non-pythonic if == 0, etc.
> There is plenty of room for doubting this specific planet 9 claim without changing any laws of physics.

For sure!
Parts of fast casual food really isn’t that different to a TV dinner already. Starbucks will literally just warm your breakfast sandwich in front of you using a combo-microwave. McDonald’s uses microwaves and warming ovens for certain items, that are literally just single prepackaged portions straight from the freezer.

Even sit down chain restaurants like Applebees and Olive Garden will use microwaves and poaching to bring preprepared items to serving temperature. Not exactly TV dinners, but closer to that than from-scratch cooking.
We are not even remotely close to creating sentience with AI. I would fear the control of few unaccountable humans over a vast number of robots compared to a sentient AI.
For sure, I have no idea if the wording is truthful or just standard corporate blame dilution. But if the wording is truthful, this would be a significant process & policy failure.
It would also help retain public belief that science is a process for neutral seeking of the truth rather than a self-interested force with rapidly dropping credibility. Some revision is inevitable but it doesn't need to be routinely due to having been intentionally misleading.
This isn’t an example of that. Have you looked at the code? This uses ObjC and Cocoa implementations in an unintuitive method. Nice exercise to learn about the ObjC runtime, but has zero practicality or use.
For reference, since this is a private company, I work for a federal agency. My department is roughly 80 people. No one wears a mask.
Angle is a measure of similarity (well, distance/nearness).

In physics, the dot product is used to losslessly project a vector onto an orthonormal basis, and the angle measures how much of the vector's magnitude is distributed to each bases vector.

The angle can be defined in terms of the dot product, because you don't need the angle (as in a uniform measure of rotation) in order to compute important physical results.
> This study showed that human DNA can be collected from air and on surfaces that move air, such as air conditioner units, and can identify the usual users of the space as well as frequent visitors. DNA accumulated within a fairly short period of time with owners being identified after only 4 weeks of use of the tested space.

So this doesn’t seem like it would be adequate to identify criminals who visit a space one time. But I can think of various ways in which this collection might be abused - from selling information to data brokers for advertising or surveillance of regular visitors.

For what it's worth, Claude instant is part of Anthropic's first generation of models. There have been two more since then. Today (3rd gen) they have haiku, sonnet, opus. Worth checking out. Opus is competitive (many say better) than GPT-4
I think I've learned more reading bad code bases than reading good code bases.

The entire point is not to just mindlessly consume a code base, but instead form an idea of how to approach the problem and then see if your hypothesis is correct. Then comparing your approach to the actual approach.

This can show you things that you might've missed taking into account.

For example, gallery-dl's incidental complexity all lies in centralizing persistent state, logging, and IO through the CLI. It doesn't have sufficient abstraction to allow it to be rewired to different UIs without relying on internal APIs that have no guarantee that won't change.

Meanwhile a similar application in yt-dlp has that abstraction and works better, but has similar complexity in the configuration side of things.
I personally thought the part about Bing with Copilot was a subtle joke, because giving people the benefit of doubt is just a polite thing to do and even the Microsoft employees deserve it. Otherwise the sentiment contained in that sentence is indeed quite outrageous.

Anyhow, even when searching for "iPerf3 on Windows" in both Google and DuckDuckGo, the first result is still iperf.fr.
No, I mostly stick concepts in my back pocket to retrieve for future use. Besides, if I'm being honest, executing papers would reduce my metric.
I run PiHole at various points in my network as well.

Because I want to.
Cool, but about 20 years late to the digital nomad salary arbitrage wave.

Very tough right now to land any software developer job in the US. That gets increasingly hard when you require working remotely. And quite a few companies pay local wages for remote workers, removing the salary arbitrage opportunity.

US employers figured out salary arbitrage decades ago and did it the other way around, hiring people in low-wage countries. That's called offshoring.
You're describing a pretty different testing strategy, where you only use one database and ensure isolation through transactions. It's a good strategy for your use-case, but it's not what the article talks about (they do mention this transactional approach and why it doesn't work for them)

I've been trying to work through this in the context of programming a CNC using a recent trilogy of books:

_Make: Geometry: Learn by coding, 3D printing and building_ https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/58059196-make

_Make: Trigonometry: Build your way from triangles to analytic geometry_ https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/123127774-make

_Make: Calculus: Build models to learn, visualize, and explore_ https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/61739368-make

(oddly the Calculus book was published second, so I guess I'll need to re-read it after I finish the trigonometry book)

Hopefully, this will provide me with a sufficient grounding in conic sections that I can solve my next CNC project with a reasonably efficient set of calculations (trying to do it using my rudimentary understanding of triangles from trigonometry had me 4 or 5 triangles deep, barely half-way to the final point I needed, and OpenSCAD badly bogged down performance-wise).
I miss my days working with C++. It's moved further down the development stack than where it used to be. We used to handle UI, API parsing, and pretty much everything using C++.
