There's a few reasons. Thinkpads are reliable and durable. Built around a magnesium alloy "rollcage". They are modular, upgradeable and simple to service and there's a detailed hardware maintenance manual for every model online. There are often a good selection of ports and the keyboards are quite a pleasure to use although not a fan of the latest keycap refresh. I run the latest Ubuntu LTS and for almost all models every device runs out of the box.

You can get a pretty decent machine for 300-500 on ebay but selecting the correct configuration is key. One area Thinkpads fall short since the Lenovo purchase is the screen quality. But the Pantone 4K option is pretty nice if you can find one. I like the T and P series and dislike the E. X is Ok if you have to carry it everywhere especially for network technicians. But Thinkpads generally aren't light and the battery life can be hit and miss. It's nice there are Xeon options but I'd expect the Intel signature hairdryer whirr on load. Most Thinkpads are quiet enough though. It's a good budget option, excellent value. A tool I think everyone should have kicking around.

What you find as a technician is that manufacturers have very different ideas about how to engineer a laptop. The worst of the worst was the Dell Latitude series which looked like it was put together with lego and superglue. I've never seen cost optimization to that degree, perhaps to their credit.

I find Cursor’s Copilot++ is miles ahead of GitHub’s in terms of speed and autocomplete helpfulness. They’re also working on the “your cursor should jump to this line next" feature, but I haven’t relied on many of its suggestions yet. It’s available in their vscode fork, but doesn’t seem to be in their docs yet.
Even then, most burner phones have serial numbers they can track to the sale.

there's ton of data. that's why most project want to use MIT. They dream with vc money so they can just dump it all in marketing and make bank. like moby, i mean docker. npm. etc.

hence why you either go GPLv3 or don't bother calling it open source.
Thanks! I hadn't gotten to writing this out, but you've pretty much nailed it.

I did use a guide camera with an off-axis guider, I'm not sure why it wasn't in the equipment list. I've added it.

> The RGB filters were presumably for the star colors and to incorporate the blue from Alnitak into the image.

This is primarily an RGB image, so the RGB filters were used for more than the star colors. This is a proper true color image. I could get away with doing that from my location because this target is so bright. The HA filter was used as a luminance/detail layer. That gave me a bunch of detail that my local light pollution would hide, and let me pick up on that really wispy stuff in the upper right :)

The end of vendor-backed open-source?

No. The end of several vendors backing open-source? Possibly.

The important thing is that open-source doesn't depend on any single particular person or company.

Or even any particular time. A project can sit untouched for years, before somebody picks it up again.
We collectively discovered that we were underestimating the long term costs, by a lot, so its lustre has faded. This is in some sense relatively recent, so word is still getting around, as the programming world does not move as quickly as it fancies itself to.

If you'd like to see why, read the HTML 5 parsing portion of the spec. Slowly and carefully. Try to understand what is going on and why. A skim will not reveal the issue. You will come to a much greater understanding of the problem.
Some study of what had happened when we tried to upgrade TCP (not the 4->6 transition, that's its own thing) and why the only two protocols that can practically exist on the Internet anymore are TCP and UDP may also be of interest.
> “We’ve had that issue in the past, as with low-fat recommendations” that later turned out to be counterproductive, says Duane Mellor, a dietitian at Aston University in England. “We’ve messed up too many times. We need to make smarter changes more carefully.”

Now that's some terrible logic coupled with a ridiculously handwavy statement.

What was the issue with low-fat recommendation? Why was it counter productive? Who messed up too many times? Who needs to make smarter changes? Smarter changes than what? More carefully than what?

I swear statements like that make my blood boil. Even if you replace either "we" with {"scientists", "nutritionists", "dietitians", "humanity"}, it's still a problematically sweeping generalization

AFAIK (not a dietitian), there's nothing inherently bad about lowering fat intake. I can imagine a low-fat diet that comes at the expense of increasing sugar intake could be bad, but that's because of the high sugar, not the low fat...

It seems pretty obvious that the "more careful" approach to ultra-processed foods seems is to avoid them? So long as you're not replacing them with something even worse.
The article has no point. Total nonsense and buzzwords to drive AI hype.
There's a difference between open sourcing and "maintaining an open source project".

Realistically most open source android apps do not receive many, if any, contributions from outsiders. Being open source does however signal the app isn't likely to become a paid shitfest.

Heh it's all too real for us in Eastern Europe.

Back in Soviet Union if you ever get a blessing to visit another country, you have interviews with KGB, one before leaving and one on return. Upon return they asked if you bringing any contraband, currency and one of the question is "Why did you return?".

Thanks for the feedback. You make a lot of good points. I've built a 150,000 GPU system previously, but it was lower end hardware. It was a lot of fun to make it run smoothly with its own challenges.

It doesn't take a lot of employee's, we did the above on essentially two technical people. Those same two are working on this business.

Finding workloads/jobs is definitely going to be an interesting adventure, that said, the need for compute isn't going away. By offering hard to get hardware at reasonable rates and contract lengths, I believe we are in a good position on that front, but time will tell.

We are only buying the best of the best that we can get today. The plan is to continuously cycle out older hardware as well as not pick sides on one over another. This should help us keep pace with other systems.

I get that you're referring to Han Unification, but if software doesn't display unified glyphs with the correct style, that's an issue with the font rendering system, not Unicode. Sure, the font rendering system's job may have been easier had Unicode made different choices, but encoding-wise, Unicode is no more ambiguous than any other encoding it's round trip compatible with. The font rendering system is free to assume all unified glyphs should be rendered in a Japanese style, just like it would have with a Japanese-centric encoding.

“Who wrote this code, it has a serious flaw?”

Some people like to project their problems into the rest of the population.

It's almost like the facade of mental control is a sieve that tries to exclude the chaos and let something coherent flow through... And you can't even be certain how it accomplishes that. It's a mystery where the nonsense and sense even comes from, too.

Somehow we mistake the sieve for free will, or that it's even a fully conscious mechanism. But it "just happens". It's very strange stuff.
> There are things we still don't understand about it, but we understand some, and it's not magic.

> What's difficult to comprehend is the immense vastness of the universe.

We know a whole lot about ways life changes once it's there but we haven't observed life emerging from non-life and our hypotheses for how life emerged on earth has more holes than swiss cheese and it doesn't have to be magic in order to be exceedingly improbable. And magnitudes work in both ways, if it is sufficiently improbable for life to emerge, let's say 1 chance in 1E100 against then even if you had dice rolls in proportion to all the subatomic particles in the universe (~1E80) multiplied by the number of seconds since the big bang (~4E17) then it would still be about 3 orders of magnitude against the likelihood of life emerging even once. In this scenario if the probability was 4E97 then we'd expect for life to have emerged once. Until we have the data to infer what the probability actually is we can't determine which scenario is the case.

we considered which one adheres to the prompt more, which one has overall best aesthetics etc but ended up with a simple which one is overall better type question. it is easier for people to vote and decide one and still applicable as preference data at a larger scope (trading volume for simplicity).

the dataset is open source and we plan to train an aesthetics picker on it but obviously have to do proper evals (with at least 1M data) to come to a reasonable conclusion.

> The article needs some examples. I wouldn't call doing a curl call in PHP particularly comfortable. Not something I'd want in a shell. :-)

There are a couple of other ways to make web calls in PHP that don't require curl (which I agree is a bit confusing if you're coming in cold - I've been doing it for decades and still have to look up the docs every single time).

If I need to do a basic kinda GET request you can simply call file('https://example.com') to pull in content from that URL. fopen() also supports URLs.

I do this in shell scripts (and "web shell" as the author calls it) all the time.
such encodings are also UTF-8 then, are they not?
As feedback I can tell you it's not easy at all for me to decide which one is better. Maybe if the prompts would include the art style I would be able to clearly identify the better ones, but they don't. Style is where I see most of the differences.

(Spoilers) I think that the part about the guy who's brain traveled to the Trisolarians and communicated back by telling a fairy-tale may be a story about the author himself: He's also in an authoritarian regime and unable to tell things face value, so he communicated by telling a "fairy-tale" (SF in his case) full of metaphors which needs to be decoded by the reader first to get the real meaning.

Ok, maybe I'm reading to much into it, but if it was to obvious, Liu would get intro trouble, so plausible deniability is important. But I think that the books are much more political as many think. But you need to decipher it first...
It's been years since I had it, but I uninstalled it when I figured out it was breaking my phones wifi connectivity. I don't know how or why, but when it was installed, my wifi was inconsistent and would frequently drop. I would uninstall it, and the problem would go away. This was on Android at least 5 years, and maybe as many as 10.

More or less. The proportion of Japanese websites that use Shift-JIS is actually increasing, for example. (It's true that the absolute number of Japanese websites using UTF-8 is increasing, but that's misleading - it's only due to the overall growth of the web).
I work on an open source system-f level lambda calculus named System R (https://github.com/olsonjeffery/system_r).

I’m interested in this because I’m writing this LC dialect as a deliberate, extensible IR with a targeted “bottom-dialect” (a System F, if you will) that can be translated to any number of lower representations.

My goal is use it as an extensible dialect that can be built up to any arbitrarily complex dialect of LC (Calculus of Constructions, Algebraic Effects, etc). Those “higher dialects” themselves can be targets for some “front end” language that’s palatable to end-programmers.

There’s a lot of thoughtful insights here in this paper, namely the idea of “combining steps” to optimize/remove IRs. This also corresponds to the same practices in eg Koka (which goes straight to C or wasm/js; heck maybe they cite this paper?)

I personally reflect on this because I think an extensible IR is just a stop-gap to an optimized process, allowing you to “grow” the language semantics you want, but ultimately you’ll have to rewrite bc of perf. This happened with rustc, as well.

Thanks for sharing!
> I'm not going to waste time proactively safeguarding against a what-if

The article doesn't say that you should. It clearly states that for many cases, the input format is known or explicitly stated in the input headers.

The article talks about cases where the input files are in an unknown input format. Even then, it states: "Perhaps there is a case to be made that csvbase's auto-detection should be a more explicit user interface action than a pre-selected combo-box."

But for the case where the requirements call for heuristics, the article then talks about how that can be done.

I actually stopped using bash for shell scripting and started using PHP, probably about two decades ago. It's not for everyone - I never got fully fluent in bash, so find it a million times easier to write shell scripts in PHP, and can use a lot of the dev tools I would use in webdev.
> The font rendering system is free to assume all unified glyphs should be rendered in a Japanese style

In theory yes. In practice it doesn't.

> just like it would have with a Japanese-centric encoding.

The difference is that encoding-aware systems naturally use Japanese fonts for Japanese encodings and other fonts for other encodings.
As far as I know if you're a citizen of a country, you have to use your passport from that country to enter/leave that country, at least it's that way with USA:

[1] > U.S. nationals, including U.S. dual nationals, must use a U.S. passport to enter and leave the United States.

And the German foreign ministry says it's international practice to do so, but says "should" instead of "must":

[2] > Bei Doppelstaatern (Erwachsene und Kinder) ist zu beachten, dass nach internationaler Übung

> - die Einreise nach und die Ausreise aus Deutschland nur mit deutschem Reisepass oder Passersatz, z.B. Personalausweis

> erfolgen sollte.

Also a requirement for Canadian dual citizens [3]

I guess it'd be interesting if one has a EU passport but is entering the EU through another Schengen country (eg. A dual Canadian - Italian citizen flying from Canada to Germany). Logic says keep it simple and show the EU passport, but is there a EU clause somewhere that requires that?

To the extent that the airlines care, anyone who cannot enter the country is deported at the airline's expense. So where it matters they do care.

This is not really new. Back when steamship was the most common way of traveling between continents, the ocean lines gave lessons to the third-class passengers on what to say to US immigration officials so that they wouldn't have to pay for their lodging and return if they got denied entry. (At the time first-class passengers were not screened this way, so they didn't bother teaching them.)
Sorta agree - I'm mostly doing string handling and parsing on windows boxes - so I often just want it to compare on a string or whatever.

As it is known, Russia has only two friends: its army and its navy. And if you ask me, even the latter is in doubt.

Prior to 2014 I don't remember any serious prospects of EU-Russia integration. EU did not even bother to have visa waiver for Russian citizens. Russians also didn't have any special education opportunities coming from EU. Basically Russians could only visit EU on short term visas as tourists to spend their money there. And a tourist can always switch to a different destination.

You don't need visa or border checks to visit Crimea anymore, though. Pandemics do not shut off its borders.

Among other things, security became a concern.

Being lenient is all well and good when the consequences are mild. When the consequences of misinterpreting or interpreting differently to a second implementation becomes costly, such as a security exploit, then the Robustness Principle becomes less obviously a win.

It's important to understand that every implementation will try to fix-up formatting problems in their own way unique to their particular implementation. From that you get various desync or reinterpretation attacks (eg. HTTP request smuggling).
