In general for a great experience on the desktop you want to use the native stack of each platform, so C# / Windows SDK in Windows, GTK in most Linux distros and whatever Mac officially recommends.

You could use electron and build cross platform apps using web technologies, but I'm yet to use an electron based app that doesn't feel like crap.
Tree Borrows is a model of `unsafe` code (for example using raw pointers), it is not a proposal to change what the safe Rust borrow checker accepts.
> There is an assumption that this method is a valid, useful, good thing to do.

No, that is not an assumption. That is an observation. The scientific method produces theories with predictive power, and it does this better than any other known method. That is an empirical fact, not an assumption. This is the reason science is a thing.
ADHD is also far over-represented, I think, which makes sense. a) novelty-seeking b) new problems to solve c) less likely to have a lot of formal education, etc etc.

> There isn't just a random dude who sits in a room somewhere and says "let's make the food worse" based on his own whim.

Not directly, but only 1 step removed. The dude is saying "let's charge the same or more for cheaper, lower-quality food, to make a higher margin so our PE firm makes more money".
"Better be weary of making financial assumptions because you may end up on the losing side of a world war and then it will all be for naught" isn't very useful thinking imo

If you think America (or wherever you live) is going to end up like Germany in 1945, or Russia in 1918, then it won't matter in the slightest what you've invested in anyway - you plus everyone around you will be in the same (half underwater) boat.

"Ditto" for if $SPY suddenly tanks or underperforms. There are going to be much more immediate concerns for everyone if that happens.

Giving your friend the benefit of the doubt, sometimes one gets the wrong perspective from a careful, qualified statement.

W. Sidney Allen wrote Vox Graeca[1] and Vox Latina which are well-known works which detail both what we know about pronunciation as well as explaining how we came to know these things. We surely don't know everything and scholarship evolves, but it is hardly like what you seem to be suggesting.

It is interesting to know about some of the sources: ancient grammarians wrote about pronunciation, people poked fun at how other people talked in letters, epigraphers sometimes made mistakes on the order of "could of".

> Ask yourself, for instance, what chance does a real Web3 solution have on HN?

Perhaps this is because they’re near universally bad ideas. Web3 is a strong leading indicator of poorly thought out garbage.

Maybe you can find a way to make it work for something useful. But if your pitch starts out with “Web3!” Or worse “Web5!” It sure sounds like you’ve just tried to jam tech into something rather than solving an actual problem that happened to leverage the tech.
IMHO, speech-to-text to LLMs is borderline spycraft already.

GPT-4 and claude models work great, but these cost some money. Some users were very interested in running these on Ollama, but it didn't work very well for any batch methods.

I’ve never heard someone say “oh just chatgpt it.”
I believe it. It seems to be a natural consequence of the wealth imbalance in the US. There is an obscene amount of money looking to be placed at the top, but nowhere great to put it. At the bottom all of the industries that relied on disposable income are struggling. The bottom will continue to fall out piece by piece until we reach a new equilibrium.

I'm sure that Facebook could get rid of it if they wanted to. The same way that they could get rid of only fans creators flashing you pictures of their privates in their short videos. The same way they could get rid of racists and transphobes and other bigots. The same way that Google could get rid of the 20 paragraph essays on basic facts you can find in Wikipedia.

It's just that getting rid of these things would be less engaging and lead to a deficit in ad revenues. And they have nothing else to show instead. Because authentic contents do not give them enough ad revenue.

So they can't actually get rid of them without collapsing the business model.

Why wouldn't they? Humans can recognize black and white images on a 1960s-era videophone prototype as another human they are interacting with in real-time, and it's not like parrots have any significant difficulty recognizing other parrots in general.
Personal projects, Racket with gui-easy. Close to frictionless GUI development, very nice language(-platform) to build with. Excellent metaprogramming.

Professionally, Java and JavaFX. Decent multi-platform story, there's a config flag for tuning everything, and there's a library for pretty much anything anyone has ever had an issue with and when they don't fit as well as you'd like you just tear it up with reflection and fix.
> on my knee

Wounds on/near joints are known to heal much more slowly because of the added movement-induced stress. In contrast, facial wounds heal particularly fast¹.

For instance, I had a bike accident last September, which resulted in a small wound on my knee and several bigger, more severe injuries in my face. (I basically did a face plant.) The facial injuries healed within 2 weeks. Meanwhile, to this day people ask me what's wrong with my knee because while the wound has closed, I have severe scar tissue and it still looks like the accident had occurred only a few days ago.

¹) Not sure whether it's true but I read somewhere that this might have been selected for during evolution, since the face plays such a crucial role in communication.
> If 2/32 died

Also his isn't quite correct. John Barnett (first death) left Boeing in 2017 and his whistle blowing did not occur within the last 3 years. The 32 complaints stat is for the last 3 years.

Also it's not even clear if the most recent death (Josh Dean) would be included in those stats. He worked for Spirit and claims that he reported improperly drilled holes in the 737 Max fuselage and that nothing was done. The claim would probably be against Spirit not Boeing. It's being reported in the media as Boeing, but in paperwork it would probably be against Spirit.
Well for a start, if your tests don't cover that code then it can't possibly detect it.
Serf is used within Consul for agent to agent checks (and some communication). There's an entire subsystem called the 'serf check' that shows up within every single Consul agent. It's one component of the entire 'Consul' system.
Also a storage inflation on the users side. People have more data on bigger drives that wants a backup.

You are literally ignoring it, you speak as if your opinion of reality is a 1:1 match for the thing itself.

Can you link to:

1. Two of your comments in this thread where you express uncertainty in any of your assertions?

2. Two comments where someone disagreed with you, and you acknowledged (in the comment itself) your prior incorrectness/imperfection?
Those are just the defaults, and spRAG is designed to be flexible in terms of the models you can use with it. For AutoContext (which is just a summarization task) Haiku offers a great balance of price and performance. Llama 3-8B would also be a great choice there, especially if you want something you can run locally. For reranking, the Cohere v3 reranker is by far the best performer on the market right now. And for embeddings, it's really a toss-up between OpenAI, Cohere, and Voyage.
45 years in prison for doing it multiple times to numerous people, and for threatening people with a gun, armed robbery, etc. If you read deeper into the article you'll find that his politeness act was only superficial (saying please and thank you while pointing a gun at somebody fails to impress me, tbqh); he pistol whipped somebody, not to mention ending his marriage with domestic violence before starting his crime spree. This guy committed a huge number of crimes and so his sentence was fitting.

And yes, the average sentence for murder is ridiculously short; most if not all murderers should never be released. The only exceptions I can think of require pretty extreme mitigating circumstances, like Gary Plauche. On the other hand, a repeat offender murderer will almost certainly never get out. The justice system is rightly much harsher on people who do whatever they did more than once.

He sought to join the protestors

He went to "check out", and for a fraction of that time "talk with" the protestors, by the words you are quoting.

To "join the protestors" (implying some sort of direct participation) would of course be something entirely different, and in no way grounded in the description we have.

It doesn't matter 4 hours v. 4 min

An impartial observer of the situation would most likely strongly disagree with that take. In any case it certainly doesn't sound (from the description we have) that the net duration was anywhere near the former value. More likely it was around 20 min max.

So far we only have this one person's recollection of the events, where he has a huge bias towards trying to minimize his involvement.

Could be, who knows.

But from the weird semantic distortions you're attempting to lay over the words we do have from this guy -- it seems you're basically assuming he must be guilty of something awful, and therefore to be lying in some major way, also.
Well, that is your point of view.

I'd say the world on which high school teaches that men can get pregnant really compete with Russia.
It's not designed to output the most likely séquence. It's designed to output the most likely next token. That's quite different.

That would seem uncharacteristically considerate of them.
Manufacturer response:

Verbatim clarified that these discs were advancements. The technical changes resulted in a different appearance and the ability for higher burning speeds, the changed media-ID was due to an adaptation with regard to other Verbatim products. Verbatim had already shipped the first modified media in early 2022. The data security of the new discs is not inferior to that of the old discs: Data should also last 1000 years, according to the manufacturer.

How was the 1000-year lifespan for M-Disc media calculated? If there's a chemical process for simulating centuries of media degradation, then it could be applied to the new Verbatim media to evaluate their longevity claims.

There must be an industry association which licenses the M-Disc trademark and disk identifier? If the Verbatim media is legit, they can be issued a unique, approved disk ID by the M-Disc trademark licensing body.

Edit: list of identifiers, https://blu-raydisc.info/licensee-list/discmanuid-licenseeli...

Building a rocket engine from scratch
> E.g. the Lisp expression (+ a (* b b)), informally called a syntax tree, is actually a DAG

That is a syntax tree. Syntactically it is a tree. The fact that you have a later step that recognises that the `b` identifiers refer to the same object and turn it into a DAG doesn't mean it isn't a tree initially.
Encouraging conspiracy theories against one of the largest components of the US military industrial complex is precisely something Al Jazeera would be willing to risk losing credibility over. Not that they actually would, because there could never be sufficient evidence to disprove such a conspiracy.
Not the other guy, but I'm pretty much OK with that. Honestly I'm more OK with them blocking payments to quasi-illegal operations than I am with them blocking payments to presumably legal adult content. Ultimately, in both cases, there other ways to make those payments. Hell I'm more annoyed that I had to use giftcards to buy Minecraft for my kids back in the day, before Microsoft became their parent company, because of some weird financial law in my state.
> You don't have good end-to-end connectivity with NAT, right?

I do, I have a public IPv4 that I manage as I wish. Open ports on firewall and forward where needed. No issues so far.

> With CG-NAT my IP address is the same one that infected computers are using, so I'm often treated like a second class citizen on the internet.

Where are you from and what provider are you using?

That is just a crappy provider, you should switch to competition and get a separate IP with no CG-NAT. (never had CG-NAT on home connection, although I avoided providers that did that)

If you're a student in a uni campus/dorms you won't really have an option and it is what it is, it used to be CG-NAT 15-20 years ago too. Even with IPv6 they'd likely firewall everything off and the range would have bad reputation.
Yeah, quants firms are great at PR and marketing. They give out free merch, sponsor hackathons, and organize in-person events with all expenses paid. I study at Berkeley and so many students here rock their merch, which gave them even more exposure on campus.

Their effort definitely paid off though. Quants like JS, Citadel, or Jump hire some of the brightest students from Berkeley and other top CS schools.
And the result is noticeable. Electron is becoming synonymous to shoddily built apps. Even though you can write buggier apps with native SDK, but the amount of works that been put into them elevates the final result. Not so much with Electron.
yeah my numbers were more focused towards smaller yards that alot of folks have in the sf bay area. For me I am on 1/3 acre in Colorado with about 33% of it grass, it takes about 30-40 mins to mow and edge it and after I fixed the dead patches with easy seed etc it just sort of takes care of itself. I think we were quoted $125 a visit(weekly) so $500 a month. I have so many better things to do with that money than spend it on landscapers. And agree with your decision as well, that is alot saved!

Clearly that isn't the case, surely Mike Pall would have heard of it, when he brought back LuaJIT from the future, that is.
Yeah, it would be nice if the financial backing behind Rhasspy/Piper led to improvements in espeak-ng too but based on my own development-related experience with the espeak-ng code base (related elsewhere in the thread) I suspect it would be significantly easier to extract the specific required text to phonemes functionality or (to a certain degree) reimplement it (or use a different project as a base[3]) than to more closely/fully integrate changes with espeak-ng itself[4]. :/

It seems Piper currently abstracts its phonemize-related functionality with a library[0] that currently makes use of a espeak-ng fork[1].

Unfortunately it also seems license-related issues may have an impact[2] on whether Piper continues to make use of espeak-ng.

For your specific example of handling 1984 as a year, my understanding is that espeak-ng can handle situations like that via parameters/configuration but in my experience there can be unexpected interactions between different configuration/API options[6].

[3] Previously I've made note of some potential options here: https://gitlab.com/RancidBacon/notes_public/-/blob/main/note...

[4] For example, as I note here[5] there's currently at least four different ways to access espeak-ng's phoneme-related functionality--and it seems that they all differ in their output, sometimes consistently and other times dependent on configuration (e.g. audio output mode, spoken punctuation) and probably also input. :/

Out of curiosity does that definition come from somewhere specific? I would argue that strictness and undirectedness are not prerequisites for a data structure to be called a tree.

For example, B-trees are directed trees, and Huffman Coding is based on a weighted tree structure.

That doesn’t seem particularly fast of a spin and I’m surprised it’s the fastest one observed.

There is a moment in 2001: A Space Odyssey that I’ve always liked. It’s at about 1:13:15 or so, and is just a distant shot of the Discovery One. Suddenly two space rocks silently tumble past. I like the scene because it gives a sense of the scope and silence of outer space, but I suppose it would be incredibly rare to be so close to even one rock, let alone a pair. And they are tumbling at about the pace measured by the one in that article, so perhaps even rarer still.
Same with national ID and our fear of “papers, please”. We have all the downsides—constantly having to provide ID to everyone, government can trivially access all kinds of tracking data tied to that—but none of the benefits of an actual national ID because we have to pretend we don’t have one (we do, it’s just 80% privatized and a massive liability and inconvenience for citizens in ways that it doesn’t need to be)
There is probably an actual reason for it other than corporate greed. I'm guessing they have to silo the data separately on their cloud and that costs more. It's the same reason healthcare applications often cost more to host, they can't intermingle data in cloud instances and have to insure that it's only hosted in the US and what not. I imagine having to deal with legal procedures ensures a lot of additional time/money compared to other customers.
