As as ipaddr points out it seems this got promoted by an algorithm.

But that aside I always felt like Django's music aged quiet poorly. A few country/blues/jazz and related styles from the first half of 20th century have. Big band - did not age well and effectively vanished as far I can see. Rag time, a very popular style for a couple of decades, gives me some enjoyment but mostly as a curiosity.

That is all in contrast to a massive body of jazz and blues music from the era that has not aged a tiny bit, like pretty much anything on Harry Smith’s "Anthology of American Folk Music". Say, for being zany and of the times "King Kong Kitchie Kitchie Ki-Me-O" feels as real and pleasurable as anything and keeps finding its way into pop culture.

Don't you find the timing of them suddenly allowing emulators suspicious? If it weren't for that alt app store, would the U.S. app store have emulators at all?

Everybody who disagrees with me is incompetent.
I think that's sort of true, but unlike Disco Elysium - which I simply loved - the bits of Outer Wilds I loved were at odds with the fact that basically all of the worlds gave me anxiety from their specific quirks (plus, I found them all being so small - especially the ones closest to the sun - made me constantly worried about falling off), and I couldn't finish it.
(I did watch a YouTube play through to get some of the experience without the terror later)
Nobody mentions how similar options trading are to an actual casino. I am a victim, as I made a dumb options bet for $8 and ended up with $70 in one day. From there I tried to make it more and more and eventually ended up losing more money than I put in, and a friend convinced me to just disable options and keep them disabled.
Hey zach, any update on your eyesight?
That's a nice clip.

I think his description of the nature of explanations is relevant here though. Most phenomena, that one might like explained, or wish to understand, aren't as irreducible (at least in terms of things familiar to the questioner) as the fundamental forces!

In terms of education, explaining things at one level of reduction, even if there is more that could be said, meaningfully increases the knowledge of the student (and allows them to ask the next question, should they be interested). This really isn't the same as an analogical "explanation" that in fact explains nothing.

In most cases they are not, but you need to have a good relationship with your parents and they need to care enough to bother the school about it. Otherwise, they won’t listen to you, a child.
Broadly speaking, the goal is control and leverage, not productivity or worker quality of life. There are caveats of course (Dropbox comes to mind), examples can be found of pragmatic leadership, but it is more rare than not.

I had a simple thought a couple years ago that still fascinates me. If you do something as simple as "clap clap clap" (with equal measures of time), you can naturally relate it to any other set of sounds with that simple pattern (ABABA). moreover, there is a 1 to 1 relation of this abstraction in space, where one can represent the sounds as marks on a screen (as I have done here for example, as "clap clap clap, X X X, - - -, or whatever).

Despite the different sensory systems (sound, or visual) and the difference in actual data (I don't know how many photons or audio waves entering your brain), we can abstract them down and understand/relate them with a simple pattern.
The fine article. In this case, https://maphappenings.com/2024/04/11/story-of-etak/
Mhh dunno, I don't think it helps to think about the unfortunates stuck to their media feed at this stage. Might as well make the dweb about something us nerds want. It's gonna be good... and then it'll be about keeping the parasites out that live off that cultural capital.

No, I'm just trying to keep the facts straight.
this is a mistake i made for many years, so hopefully i can save someone else: bones and teeth are calcium phosphate, while corals and seashells and eggshells and limestone are calcium carbonate. that's why you can't dissolve teeth or chicken bones in vinegar. cement is made by calcining calcium carbonate (with silicates), not calcium phosphate

mineral calcium phosphate (apatite) is broken down for fertilizer with sulfuric acid. it is not used for cement to my knowledge

the phosphate and carbonate of calcium are not especially similar, not any more than the hydroxide and sulfate of sodium, or the sulfide and hydroxide of iron

in summary, your cities are not literally built out of bones

Yeah, I’m a pretty big 3D printer enthusiast. I’m surprised they shifted from lasers to LCD. I guess the laser and galvo setup was too expensive. Probably also easier and cheaper to ship new “Low Force Display” for people with formcare. End of the day, no matter what these vendors say, the crystals in LCD get damaged by UV light and would need to be replaced eventually.
Yes, I use fastembed-rs[1] in a project I'm working on and it runs flawlessly. You can store the embeddings in any boring database (it's just an array of f32s at the end of the day). But for fast vector math (which you need for similarity search), a vector database is recommended, e.g. the pgvector[2] postgres extension.

Turning into a parking lot with a snow bike is quit feasible: you just need to go slow and plan ahead. And possibly back up a few times. Because making a 90-degree turn in snow really isn't any easier than on tarmac!

Mostly, you'll use your snow bike to go fast (60-100 km/h, 40-60 mph), and you really want to plan your trajectory pretty well at those speeds. Using your handlebars, or your 'brakes' just isn't a realistic option!

Sure, if you want to turn left a bit: lean heavily left, and steer slightly right. And vice versa. But making any sudden turns? Not going to happen, especially not with a passenger...
Benchmarks are often weird because of what a benchmark inherently needs to be.

If you compare LLMs by asking them to tell you how to catch dragonflies - the free text chat answer you get will be impossible to objectively evaluate.

Whereas if you propose four ways to catch dragonflies and ask each model to choose option A, B, C or D (or check the relative probability the model assigns to those four output logits) the result is easy to objectively evaluate - you just check if it chose the one right answer.

Hence a lot of the most famous benchmarks are multiple-choice questions - even though 99.9% of LLM usage doesn't involve answering multiple-choice questions.

2 cents per point seems about right for valuation. You're looking at some pretty poor redemption value flights if the tax is more than the ticket price.
Except the response ignores the fact that the posted links have little to do with the openness of the ecosystem. .NET does not restrict who can use which APIs nor they are designed in a way to prevent the use of "third-parties". e.g. VS and VSC debugger implementations are not the only one that exist, Rider uses its own, there is a Samsung-maintained open debugger and likely a few more specialized ones I'm unaware of. There also exists Unity which is moving over to CoreCLR, it is certain they have fully custom tooling.

There are also areas that may not be as open as they could be, which yet simply do not exist in other languages - for example Go and GUI frameworks (.NET's AvaloniaUI works well on Linux, while MAUI doesn't at all even though there seems to be now work done in that area, you can also use Gir.Core to write GTK4 applications).

Hot reload drama is uncharacteristically bad, that is true, but it's a minor feature that happens to be a convenient scapegoat repeated ad nauseam.

If anything, your comments only support my argument that C# receives criticism regardless of improvements that it gets, while Swift and Go receive undeserved good will regardless of the actions conducted by companies investing in them.

I should probably learn my lesson and stop arguing with engineers engaged in this kind of double-standards thinking repeating the same old statements that lost relevance.
I'm more interested in figuring out what kind of knowledge base most reliably turns a junior dev into a "skilled pragmatist".

My guess is the highest ROI thing one can do in software engineering is take your command line environment and OS internals seriously to heart. This can be either bash/Unix or PowerShell/Windows, depending on your career goals, although having gotten reasonably good with both sets I'd recommend the former. Wherever you go, you'll have that ultra portable knowledge to rely on, and do in 10 lol minutes what might take your coworkers 20 or 30.
Based on what my American friends told me, I think it was only a couple of generations of Americans where that was true. Before that, Americans too had stronger familial bonds. No first hand knowledge though.
That really sucks. I don't deal with any of that on Android, it must be an iOS-specific policy that results in the vast and feverish desire for developers to leave the App Store.

As a user, you must really be going through it. From a developer standpoint (or hell, even a business one), kissing Apple's ring is not infinitely viable. Either Apple drafts more amicable first-party terms for their developers, or the people creating content for their users will make their platform a living hell. You should be mad, there shouldn't be anyone stopping you from installing whatever you want freely in the first place. But here we are, with our App Stores from on-high.

I really hope things change for you. I don't hold much faith in Apple's strategy working going forwards.
You could play the original GoldenEye with two N64 controllers (one in each hand) to get dual analogue. Highly Recommended.
Hahah, thanks! It was a marathon to get develop this, and I'm glad it reached the front page.

The name was proposed by chatgpt :) It claims it doesn't recognise this approach - so there is a chance it's really a new thing.

I want to reach out to llama.cpp and the others - I hope it gets implemented. I considered just writing a patch to llama, but c++ and the scale of that project was beyond me.

As for CPU inference - it should speed it up just as well. But thanks to the fact that it can load up a fraction of weights (e.g. just 70%, skipping the least important ones), it should be possible now to run models on less VRAM than before (still, Q8 needs to implemented though).

Funnily - when I tried comparing benchmarks to llama.cpp, I couldn't find speeds for 7B/FP16 on MB Air 16GB, because it's impossible to run with regular methods. It is possible with Effort.

Ditto, I was running full resolution, but cropped, Mixtral on my 96GB M2, even though it usually takes 114GB ram. I just loaded 75% of weights, and it was working smoothly. (before I messed something up with implementation and it now produces crap output - needs a fix)
I’d be the first to admit that “theory of everything” is infinitely compelling to me, but increasingly I think it also deserves caution.

It would certainly open many new avenues to explore, and potentially bring lots of innovation.

However, to prove it you would need infinite resources and infinite time—in other words, you will never prove it, so within the framework of physics you will not assume it is complete and correct and absolute truth.

But there are people who will assume just that, they’ll see how well it works and what progress it brings and say “that’s it guys, we have finally arrived at truth!” When they see something that doesn’t fit in the model (say, consciousness or free will), they will say it doesn’t exist and influence policy decisions based on that. When they see someone using another theory or even suggesting there can be others, they will ridicule them.

As map is never the territory, any model is always going to be a local maximum, and a particularly high local maximum followed by a steep trough might make it difficult to reach the next one.

I just don't get the appeal of blueberries. I have tried them several times and find them both lacking in flavor and mealy in texture. I don't think I've only tried bad ones-- when I do buy them they're from the same grocery stores that are stocked with fruit I do like!
I feel like this would be fun... if all of my friends used it too and it didn't feel like a "thing".

Which I think is worth restating here.

It’s one thing to, say, buy Azure AD Premium so you can obtain auth logs and put them someplace/analyze them for your startup. That’s just taking your work seriously.

But unless you’re learning or practicing, or perhaps building out demo or educational content, you might want to consider whether your personal AAD tenant needs that at home.

(I’m not staking a claim on that. Just an illustrative example.)

By your definition no name ever was "chosen" by any corporation in history. Organizations are made of people, and when a new org inside the main org is named, it obviously was named by someone (or a committee). In the end, the "organization" choose the name, potato po-ta-to.
As a string player, terroir strikes me as a beautifully appropriate way to describe timbre. My instrument was constructed in the 19th century, probably in Germany. The luthier, their choice of wood, the shape, the workmanship, the strings, the bow, the weather, the player, the room, the mood, the other players all affect the sound. A large portion of the job of an instrumentalist is choosing which tools to use. There are always compromises, and many variables that effect the timbre simply are before a note is played, and have to be worked with.
Tomatoes are an example of something that's not great especially out of season at the supermarket. I do support my local farmstand during the summer but for some fruits and vegetables there's less of a difference than with others.

They know what power is, and have demonstrated that clearly. If there is a silver lining, it's that they've revealed their knowledge and desire for asymmetry of power.
I agree that would be a useful feature but it does seem a bit too fringe.
There's far more demand for a debugger with good rust support.
For that reason I'll likely first try to integrate LLDB into BiTE.
That would in term make it more tied to just loading executables, so the answer would be maybe but it's not a priority.
That will be a great comfort to know, after the trigger happy local yokel cops shoot you in the head while executing their no-knock warrant because they think that you are reaching for a hidden weapon.
Nestlé is a truly awful company, and their CEO has historically been a terrible human being, but… this isn’t a nestlé specific activity? As far as I can tell this is standard behaviour from every company involved in snack foods, candy, soda, etc? And they go to great lengths to to hide that’s what they’re doing - most of the “juice” you can buy at US stores are essentially just soda minus the bubbles, growing up in NZ a huge part of childhood was flavored milk (many more and better flavors than in the US - lime was my favorite :) ) than in the US, but those all had absurd amounts of sugar as well, despite being advertised/pushed as healthy milk products for children (I still love them all and try to pretend they’re not functionally soda when they’re available).
Depends on what is meant by "small" but even if it was a $2.99 one time fee to be on X then there's a non-trivial amount of KYC info that has been collected, info that goes a long way to building valuable marketing profiles on users. Or skip the marketing angle and just use the saved payment info to develop something like "XPay" -- combine that with influencer campaigns marketing products with a "Buy it now with XPay" option and it could end up being very, very lucrative.

No, it isn't. Else they would just buy the motor alone, the behavior of a car is determined by much more than the motor.

Even the fast acceleration is not purely the result of the motor.

Honestly, if you look up the definition of republic and democracy, if you blink, you’ll miss differences, and even then, the USA is best described as a democratic republic.

Obviously, the last several years has taught us why the right wing is so intent on getting rid of the word “democracy” in describing the USA, and they fundamentally do not believe in the right to vote.

Subjective experience is not a benchmark that you can measure success against. Also, of course new models are better on some set of benchmarks. Why would someone bother releasing a "new" model that is inferior to old ones? (Aside from attributes like more preferable licensing).

This is completely normal, the opposite would be strange.
I think gamers preferred NTSC (and 60Hz) but video/movie buffs adored PAL (higher resolution and 25fps being closer to film).

Nobody in this entire movement wants to take responsibility for what anybody else does, and it's honestly exhausting. They have this dense belief that once a thinker releases his ideas into the water, he bears no responsibility for the crimes and excesses they inspire.
I have a Youtube ad-skip browser extension that fast forwards through ads. It is really good at this but the creator has recently started trying to inject extra functionality into the extension (some random AI stuff) that is turning me off. I would love to know if anyone has experience with a well-behaved extension for Youtube ad skipping.
>A good UI, imho, is one that users can configure

It is better if UI works good out of the box. Of course, it is impossible to adapt to everyone's preferences, but configuration should be not too complicated, otherwise most users will not configure anything
Well :) if you would vote me to the emperor of everything (don’t recommend it, i have eccentric tendencies) I would dig up a mile by mile by mile of random cube somewhere and document it in excruciating detail.

Elon, a free speech absolutist, who also believes that AI will be hyper intelligent in the very near future, probably doesn't want to infringe on the potentially sentient AI's free speech.

Android is a good point because there were a lot of people trying to say, well this didn't happen on Android.

I get it from a developer stand point, but from a user standpoint I bought an iPhone because of the restrictions developers had to abide by (not that I agree with all of them, like with Emulators). I subscribe to a number of apps on my iPhone through the App Store because of the easy way to cancel any subscription quickly, the lack of dark patterns, etc.

It drove me insane that Spotify and others tried to frame this as "user choice" when we know well that it had nothing to do with that. I strongly believe this is going to backfire hard and this is just the beginning.

Getting a new car with a new design is a waste of time and resources. What is new after all? You have all you need. A box with engine, wheels and steering wheel.

I am curious, what car model and from what year this gentleman uses? I hope everything around him is only made by following his advice and principle.

There is a problem in UX/UI design. Twofold problem.

Developers hate to work on frontend implementation, and designers have mediocre knowledge about their craft and refuse to think objectively.

Both of the problems can be solved with actual effort in education.

Instead, big corps are wasting money and energy to replace all of them. AI will solve all of this by removing capitalism, human expertise, and design. Right?
