Hi! Thanks for chiming in!

Did you check with resource utilization? If you don't provide "OMP_NUM_THREADS=n", Eigen doesn't auto-parallelize by default.
There is also a Federated Credential Management (FedCN) API coming in, that should help somewhat.

I think a lot of people have an instinctively negative reaction to xml because json is so much nicer for data.

But for documents and document-like things such as user interfaces, I think tag based markup is a good fit. I mean html is doing better than ever, so why not xml? Not having 1gig worth of electrons is nice too.
Well... I wanted a dedicated AI/ML box here at home, with enough horsepower to do some interesting AI stuff (but without breaking the bank totally). So I built myself a new PC from parts for the first time in around 20 years. That was ... interesting. Building a PC is - in many ways - not that different than it was in 2005. But it's also changed in many ways. So I spent a lot of time researching and picking out parts, and then building the system. Which led me to things like spending hours watching youtube videos on "What's the best thermal paste" and "what's the best CPU cooler" and "are thermal pads better or worse than thermal paste" and "Do you need one of these CPU gasket things if you're running socket AM5" and so on.

I just got the box finished up over the weekend and it's working really nicely so far. I went with an MSI MEG x670e "Godlike" motherboard, AMD Ryzen 9 7950X CPU, MSI Gaming Radeon RX 7900 XTX GPU, and 64GB of DDR5 RAM. The whole thing is running Ubuntu 22.04 (I was going to use Alma Linux, but the Alma installer wouldn't even start), ROCm 6.1.0 and Ollama. So far I've mostly been working with the LLM stuff using Ollama and the llama3 model.

Now I've started using Spring AI to interface with the Ollama API. Next steps: figure out "function calling" with Ollama (which doesn't seem to be supported by Spring AI yet, boo) and some "agentic workflows" and multi-agent stuff...
> the small set of people who think they're the only capable stewards of AI

You're mistaking one group of people for another. I'm talking about the set of people who think that nobody is a capable steward of AI, and thus that we should not develop its capabilities further until they're proven safe (and I mean "proven" very literally, not figuratively).

Brightline itself is basically a property play. They buy up land around the proposed stations and then the train service makes that land more valuable and it's either leased or sold off for profit. The train is really a loss leader or breakeven proposition.

Moving people around tends to not be that great a business in general. Providing them services once they are there is a money printing machine.
I keep looking at the prices at https://www.hetzner.com/ for just 1 bare metal box with tons of drive space, ram, and cpu. The ultimate in portable!
Fair. It's funny to see it from an investment perspective that completely lacks fundamental analysis and relies upon scarcity and momentum. I guess if you bound it with contracts limiting the downside risk it works to get some single hits and up the portfolio. However holding it on its own you need to have a belief in its fundamental value.
> Calling them internment camps is as misleading as equating them to Nazi death camps.

No, because people know what the term "internment camps" means in this context.

At least in the American colloquial context, "concentration camps" and "internment camps" are more names for specific historical instances not types.
They just released the beta of Office 2024, so no. However, they have drastically shortened the support lifecycle for offline editions which has made it a lot more expensive to use non-subscription Office. Office 2016 was supported for ten years, Office 2021 is supported for five.

With a three year release cycle, you used to be able to skip up to two versions of Office and still get security updates. Now you can't skip any because five years of support is too short to get you to the release six years out.
This strikes me that it should parallelize pretty well if you deputise the individual stripes to multiple threads.

Yes, but AFAICT there are no reliable records of what people actually said in spoken Chinese in those ancient/classical eras. And thus it's quite meaningless to speculate about the evolution of the spoken Chinese languages* over that time scale...

* note the plural -- while the written Chinese language was indeed the Lingua Franca of East Asia, the spoken language has regional differences culminating in the various regional Chinese spoken dialects/languages which are quite mutually unintelligible.
I live in Chicago. My neighbor (a police officer) was finally able to kill her rapist boyfriend (another police officer) after years being subjected of abuse. He might be in hell but the people he affected, family, neighbors, still live through it. The Chicago Police Department is an institution that lacks oversight and smart staffing. Even the most well intentioned graft startup like ShotSpotter won’t improve their ability.
> There are literally hundreds of videos and witness testimony evidencing war crimes perpetrated by Israel

What counts as a war crime depends (among other factors) on the knowledge and intentions of the military commanders ordering the attack, and I don’t see how any of these videos or testimony can answer that.
Listen to the audio book. I did, and it's very good.

I wouldn't call myself a slow reader, but I just don't have the time to sit and read paper books very often. Instead I listen to audio books while driving, doing chores, etc.

I have a family member who is a slow reader, but thanks to audiobooks, finishes over a hundred books a year.
Looking at thin matrix SVD, it appears much faster than everyone else. I’m curious what it’s doing differently at a high level and if there’s any tradeoff in accuracy. I also wonder how it compares to MKL, which is typically the winner in all these benchmarks on Intel.

If you are afraid to have 100% of your portfolio in the S&P 500, the simplest and cheapest thing to do is to put some of your assets in money-market funds and bonds. Avoid fee-laden products such as the one below.

'The first fund launching within the suite is the Calamos S&P 500 Structured Alt Protection ETF, which aims to match the price return of the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (ticker SPY) up to a cap of 9.65%.

The catch: Investors looking to reap the full protection will need to buy it on launch day — May 1, 2024 — and hold it, come rain or shine, through April 30, 2025. After that, a new defined period of cover kicks in.'
3 throws per second is the rate of action required to perform juggling literally. The implication is that communicating between the miss that causes the fall and the event of dropping the ball must happen in less than 1 second. Translating back to the metaphor, communicating that the ball is being dropped before it hits the ground is a task as hard as the juggling itself.
I don't think you should assume what you experienced is the same thing that the author experienced. I have had both good and bad trips, ones that are like you described that lead me to imagine a world of possibilities after the trip and other ones that left me depersonalized. They definitely were not the same effect.
Nailed it. That's why imagining what you'd say if someone else had the same problem - or what they would suggest if you explained your problem - are effective problem-solbing techniques.

That's also true if we lose access to the archives of old letters.

Yep, sadly, the evidence is clear that they're all lemmings and staying that way! Also, your 100% correct on your other points as well...And said truth is quite frankly sad; sad for both Google, but also for all other corporate-type companies, at least that I know about in the U.S. :-(
Yah. Meanwhile elsewhere people have torn apart the news. Seems that it is just a concept, no test in reality at all, not even parts of it in a lab. Maybe late april joke?

Stocks are horse betting at short term. Always have been. People will buy and sell short term based on triggers that cause the stock go up or down and that's enough to move the price in that direction. Sometimes that trigger is disconnected to reality.
Playing with the process 'primitives' is a good introduction, i.e. spawn, send, receive, self.

Those are enough to get started with processes, including setting up two-way connections by sending local PID with the self function so the spawn:ed process knows where to send responses.

GenServer/gen_server is more or less a convenience wrapper around those, that makes more complicated processes easier to design but harder to get started with.
Reddit's caches are set up to only ever return the last 1,000 of anything. So for example - you can't scroll past 1k items on /new, and if you save more than 1k posts then you'll have to unsave some to retrieve the others.

If this extension only edits comments, it'll only touch the most recent 1k. You would need to retrieve the older ones with a Pushshift replacement like this: https://pullpush.io/. But that also shows how ineffective this is. We still have public reddit archives (like Pullpush and https://github.com/ArthurHeitmann/arctic_shift) which contain comments as they were originally posted. This isn't gonna be a problem for Google.
I always find it odd that places like reason.com, with their very specific ideology, are also so very against competition for businesses. I'm not sure why I find it odd, I just assumed that people like that would be in favor of increased competition in the marketplace.
im in the process of refactoring the benchmark code at the moment, and plan to include mkl in the benches soon.

Which pattern did you find complicated? Most of them just come down to "wrap it/them with a new object to encapsulate the new/shared state or provide the new behavior". The rest are probably made obsolete by modern programming languages.
> American companies need to actually localize and build the "cultural competency"

Not gonna happen.

It's much easier to manage a company that has all-American culture, and American market is the biggest anyway, so it makes sense to focus on it as the priority #1 because that's how you achieve fastest growth.

When a local company starts growing too much and threatens your business, you just buy it and allow it to run as a subsidiary. All the money, none of the effort.
This really is a place any climate-concerned country should find a way to legally intervene. Speaking of my ten year old gaming PC which still runs modern games fine, forcing me to replace it is just straight carbon waste.
Related on the Eigen benchmarking, I see a lot of use of auto in the benchmarks. Eigen does not recommend using it like this (https://eigen.tuxfamily.org/dox/TopicPitfalls.html) because the template expressions can be quite complicated. I'm not sure if it matters here or not, but it would probably better not to use it in the benchmarks.
Clones of the 8051 are pretty popular in that scenario, I know for sure at least one mouse manufacturer uses them and probably a ton more

My memory is a bit foggy, but I recall there was an issue with older browsers back in those days not supporting display:table.

So if you wanted to "do right" you could not because IE6 was still "a thing" and did not support display:table. You were forced to use actual tables for layout or do endless tedious workarounds to make things work.

Who to blame? The W3C? Microsoft? I don't know but I glad those kinds of problems are mostly over.

This sums it up pretty well (I disagree that "functional sucks"). https://youtu.be/nuML9SmdbJ4?si=DEBaHcAvvxO_Ez93 There is a lot of jargon, and that presents an extremely high hurdle for newcomers (especially for those without formal mathematical education). Bizarrely, C++ has a worse version of the same problem: the "modernization specs" are tribal jargon heavy.

Compare that with the likes of JS, people learn that in a few weeks bootcamp.

Rust absolutely has hurdles, but you can be largely successful without ever touching them (you can get a surprising amount done without ever worrying about lifetimes).
It is interesting that Google gets a lot of flak for canceling products, while ~~Microsoft~~ Canoical effectively cancels products all the time through EOL, but it doesn't register the same because they will sell you the next version (which is NOT the same as the old version only better).

It's more than just a stable API across different computers, though that's a huge deal. It's also code that I don't have to write. I don't have to write the disk drivers. I don't have to write the keyboard driver. I don't have to write the mouse driver. I don't have to write the screen driver. I can build what I'm trying to build on top of that, without worrying about all of that detail.

Because the actual problem is so much larger than shotspotter. The cops are gonna keep killing people and companies are gonna keep finding a way of facilitating this while making money.

I don't think its wrong to combat the shotspotter, but looking from the outside in it's just such a bizarre situation that US cops will kill people no matter what. Its very much like trying to do things against swatting, except doing how its handled in the rest of the world by not killing random civilians just because a crime was phoned in.
A Place Is a Tool
> Would they keep running forever without updates?

> > Yes they will work indefinitely. Why wouldn't they?

Because the computer clock advanced past a date which triggers bugs or limitations on some component, and it cannot be adjusted backwards without a full reinstall, or it's talking to networked services which expect the clock to be close enough to reality. It might be possible to fix with third-party updates, but that's no longer "without updates".

And if you need a reinstall, the online account requirement and/or activation servers being turned off might make it hard without third-party modifications. (It's been a long time since I last installed Windows anywhere, and that was before the online account requirement; how hard is it to install Windows on a completely offline computer nowadays?)
Elixir has other ways to express constraints, e.g. pattern matching and guards. I can't judge if it's equivalent in principle to a type system like Gleam's but in practice I find it rather easy to work with and solve issues I use types for in e.g. Java.
Can you define "free" as you see it today, without giving me some kind of anti-capitalist rant?

And what about now? Yes, they should've been free from the start. We fought a civil war over this. If you want to hold countries to the standard of the things they've done in the past, then you're ignoring some very big gorillas in the room by pointing your finger at the USA.

US companies haven't had any more success in protecting their IP in China and avoiding "tech transfer" than European companies; it's endemic to operating in China ("somehow" your tech leaks from your JV to your Chinese competitors, who in some cases may even be owned by the same group of people through a web of shell companies). (The solar panel industry is a good example of this.)
There are several lenses through which to view anarchy.

My prior point was to illustrate the essential lack of enforcement of any rules, hence by the definition of anarchy as a "society without coercion".

From the lens you are using, that of governance, The Culture definitely matches "stateless society based on voluntary free association" — this is, as shown though historical real-world usage, compatible with "direct democracy", where votes have no intermediaries.

This voting structure was demonstrated in the books: there was a direct-democratic decision about "should we have a war?", most said yes, those who voted "no" were free to disassociate, and not merely in a purely theoretical fashion as the technology at their disposal enabled complete independence to a degree utterly impossible for any human on Earth. In the author's own words, "the Culture kind of fades out at the edges", rather than having a discrete boundary in the way we are used to on Earth today.
You do not appear to understand the “third party” part of “third party cookies”.

Secure sessions (ie first party cookies) are unaffected. Your bank is likely entirely unaffected beyond whatever tracking cookies they’ve been installing.

These cookies have nothing to do with the people you call into. If the bank’s help desk can access your first party cookies, may God have mercy on them because hackers and the government won’t.

These changes almost entirely affect third party tracking, and the occasional niche, legitimate use case. Those are fairly rare, in my experience. The vast majority of core functionality in applications are fine with only first party cookies.

Depending on the market and industry, it's already started. Take a look at Google and Meta's ad buy in India, Brazil, and Indonesia for example.

> When a local company starts growing too much and threatens your business, you just buy it and allow it to run as a subsidiary. All the money, none of the effort

Some do attempt this (eg. Walmart's acquisition of Flipkart) but it doesn't always succeed.

For example, Zoho was an acquisition target of Google and Yahoo back in the day.

And most countries have regulators that try to bar this kind of a move for competitive reasons.

For example, it was Chinese regulators that crashed Intel's attempt at acquiring Tower, and Broadcom's attempt at acquiring Qualcomm, and there's the whole sordid saga around Carl Ghosn's tenure at Nissan.
