Yeah this is why I bought land with no HOA and no covenants and basically no codes and liberal zoning. Sure the roads are dirt 4x4 and my neighbors have livestock and wild noises at all times but if I wanted to regulate other land I'd buy it myself rather than using violence of enforcers sent in to stop it.

If you want 8 ft setback, simple solution. Build 16 ft from your property line,problem solved even if your neighbor hits the edge.

Having grown up in the 8-bit era with Apple IIs and C64s and various weird Z80 boxen, I can tell you for sure BASIC did not normally get compiled on those platforms. Tokenized, yes, but nothing more than that. Dartmouth had more to work with even in the 60's so it doesn't surprise me they wrote a static compiler for it, though it's still news to me.
Do you have more info? I found this article[0] about "Book Stacks" which became Books.com, but it looks like they were based in Cleveland?

Incorrect. The output of the decoder LLM is logits that are then divided by the temperature and passed through softmax to give the probabilities. You can't actually set temperature to 0 (division by zero), but in the limit where temperature approaches 0, softmax converges to argmax.

Temperature = 1 is where it's not pushed in either direction.

It seems quite strange to attribute the actions of a group individuals to some nebulous force - "the left". It's weird to see such reductionism to a binary axis for something as complex as the intersection of politics, commerce and personal values.

I think we can say the same thing about anything now..
No, we probably should. Barter may work okay for when you have chickens to trade for boots, but you'll soon run into limitations. The vast majority of trades people make depend on some kind of future delivery. I don't want supper to show up when I get to work in the morning. It is much more practical to, instead, accept a token of debt (money) from my employer and then see that the debt gets repaid by my employer later when I go to the grocery store.

A debtless economy would be an absolute nightmare.
This must be a regression bug in AWS's internal system. At a past job (2020) we used S3 to store a large amount of genomic data, and a web application read range requests to visualize tiny segments of the genetic sequence in relevant genes - like 5kb out of 50GB. If AWS had billed the cost of an entire genome/exome every time we did that, we would have noticed. I monitored costs pretty closely, S3 was never a problem compared to EC2.

It also seemed like the root cause was an interrupted range request (although I wasn't fully clear on that). Even so that seems like a recent regression. It took me ages to get that stupid app working, I interrupted a lot of range requests :)
I'd guess closer to 10% than 50% do, the more average amount would be closer to 5k/year making the original claim pretty far off.
I cannot add to my post above, but since people don't seem to take it well, I'd like to add some data to back it up.

Here is the link to a paper that compared contaminants in drinking water in various developed countries. When it comes to residual chlorine the USA demonstrated the highest levels followed by Singapore and Canada. After these three countries there was a huge gap before the UK and other countries which much lower levels.

Could it be that you are all so used to the chlorine, that you don't notice it anymore?

In addition, here is the WHO list of countries ranked by access to safe drinking water. The US is number 42 after Bulgaria and Guadeloupe.

> These are not unreasonable expectations

Forcing someone to do work they don’t want to do just because they are a maintainer is extremely unreasonable.

> and require minimal effort from the maintainer.

I don’t think you understand the time and effort that finding a new maintainer takes. It is far from “minimal” and this mindset that it is somehow expected and/or required to leave a project is exactly my point.

> I agree that expecting, or worse―demanding―, a specific behavior from a maintainer is out of place.

> In the context of Neofetch, a popular OSS project, the right thing would've been to not ghost the community, announce your eventual departure, and start the discussion of finding a new maintainer.

You literally just placed expectations and demands onto someone. Neofetch being a popular or well used project does not somehow make this ok.

If someone doesn’t want to continue giving their time contributing or maintaining a project, then that is entirely their decision to make in whatever method they deem right. It’s not your or anyone else’s place to tell another person how they should leave a project they no longer want to be a part of. Nothing in being a user of said project gives you that right or privilege and making it sound like “the right thing to do” is just putting lipstick on an obvious demand.

> and that's fine

The rest of your comment makes it pretty clear that you do not actually think it is fine.
In low margin or high intensity industries, you're not going to have anybody who doesn't pull their own weight, whether young or old. But for normal jobs, it's more or less the norm that a huge number of your long-time workers are doing hardly anything at all.
I suspect that’s true. My point is that Americans are pretty transparent about what they value and are successful at achieving their own metrics.
Would you consider 1% interest "hardly any"? 0.1%? I definitely would. 0.05% 500k€ is a lot of money for a family and a year.

>> Neurons in our brain operate fundamentally differently. They work by transient spikes and information is carried not by the intensity of the spike voltage, but by the frequency of spiking.

I thought they worked like accumulators where the spike "energy" accumulates until the output "fires". If that's the case then the artificial NNs are still an approximation of that process. I agree that this is a significant difference, but the mathematical version is still a rough approximation inspired by the biological one.

It's closer in similarity to 1946/47, where there was a massive shift in consumer habits because of an external event.
Microsoft Defender was, and is, an inexcusably poorly thought through product.

Just the branding - the name and logo is exactly the same as Windows Defender. It even puts an icon in the taskbar tray, resulting in two identical logos for two identically named products that do completely different things.

No idea what they were thinking there. It seems they thought that the separation in consumers’ minds between “Microsoft” and “Windows” was strong, which it absolutely is not.

I don't feel that Europe or the USA is where any growth can come from, aside for Cybertruck, which is North America only. Anyone middle class would have had one by now and poor people are not customers.

In China they are getting crowded out by brands that better understand the local market, for example rear leg room at the cost of vehicle length/handling. They also have lots of self driving solutions that have no chance of making it to the West any time soon.

Chinese people also like Chinese brands. American does not mean better. The honeymoon for Western brands is over. With PCs, why would a sensible Chinese person buy some HP or Dell thing when Huawei have that extra touch of quality to them at a better price? Tesla along with GM's Buick, VW and the others making e-cars have this problem.

My example is in the cases that young workers get any help at all. Some families do it old school and actually help their children without requiring pregnancy, but it's much rarer. And as you said, many families won't help at all.

> The administration's response to protests has a chilling effect and discourages students who care about their right to protest.

I doubt this is true. Harvard suppressed protests many times in the past. That didn't seem to discourage students in the past. This is not new.

> I think your first sentence is completely accurate and as a result I'm going to pay less attention to my intuition.

Because it merely goes against your intuition. That's all. Let's not act like you would require definite proof for everything.
Because it reinforces a prior. It's absolutely amazing the extent to which people who Really Want the Economy to Be Bad will jump between contradictory arguments. When inflation was high it was clearly due to spending, when it came down it was clearly not coming down enough.

"Stagflation" is a particularly weird direction to take, as by definition it requires a contraction of the economy ("less stuff to buy with the same money supply == inflation"), and both GDP and population growth remain positive in the USA.

As someone else who is ethnically Jewish I feel there is definitely an element of antisemitism in these protests. Antisemitism isn't limited to physical attacks on Jewish people (which have been on the rise and are definitely correlated to the overall atmosphere). What do you think antisemitism is and do you really feel 100% of the protests and the protesters clearly hold no antisemitic views? I would say antisemitic views are rampant in many middle eastern communities and some subsection of the protesters and their stated views reflect that. Either way, Jewish people feel threatened (including myself).

OP is also the author of the popular dimensionality reduction algorithm UMAP.

I guess the pipeline was embedding documents with an LLM (or even plain old word2vec average over the abstract might do it), and then reducing that to 2 dimensions with a cosine similarity metric with the help of UMAP.

I have no idea about colors and local cluster naming though. Maybe that's handcrafted.

China's vacant homes are new builds.

"Since the 1980s, China has built enough new housing to re-house the entire population but the construction boom has become a self-sustaining, perpetual engine of construction for the sake of construction – supply with no demand. And there are not just miles of empty apartment blocks but entire “ghost cities” complete with office towers, hospitals, schools, futuristic airports, museums, universities, libraries, theaters, sports fields, and miles and miles of apartment towers and subdivisions of McMansions – but almost no people. (20) Twenty-one percent of China’s urban residents, the wealthy and middle classes, own two urban apartments, some own three or four – all bought for speculation, not to live in, not vacation homes. More than 22.4 percent of urban apartments and houses remained vacant in 2014. (21) By one estimate, more than 64 million surplus apartments had been built in China, enough to house almost half the population of the United States, yet millions more are under construction."
You’re absolutely right, it would “just be an app” and have a much harder time getting noticed.

But I really meant what I said too. It doesn’t matter how great your thing is, people complain to high health about spending $.99 on it. And God forbid you want to subscription even if it’s only $2 a year. And don’t ask for an IAP of any kind.

The app market is a disaster of ads because almost no one will accept anything else.

Even if everything ran fully on the device so they didn’t have any server costs of any kind I think they’d have a very very hard time making money off an app unless it was incredibly extraordinary.
Sorry for the pedantry. I agree wholeheartedly with the thought of your comment but your timeline rubs me off.

> Internet was still an alien thing to a lot of people throughout the 2000s

I agree but...

> and if you think about it - that’s only 14 years ago

14 years ago is 2010 which is no longer 2000s. It could be the end of 2000s, but that's pushing it.

And it bothers me because by 2010 I don't think the Internet was "new" or "alien" at the time to anyone other than business bureaucrats or out-of-touch politicians[1]. The algorithmic news feed has been recognized as a problem by then[2].

I'd say 2010 was the time when the Internet was starting to become ubiquitous, the transition period between the good old days and the age of walled-garden platforms we have to day. For more context, the iPhone---whose form factor, at least, put the Internet in everyone's pockets---was released in 2007 and in 2010 Google released the Nexus line for Android.

[1] In 2013, Angela Merkel was ridiculed for calling the Internet "uncharted territory".

I wouldn’t discount the reputational and long-term danger for the school of potentially losing “peak reach school” status, which this change may be symptomatic of.

Harvard has long been the beneficiary of a reputation of “if you get in, you’re very likely to go, as it’s probably also your top choice or very close.” This maintained an upward pressure force in Harvard to keep it a top school, because short term a strong reputation drives top-ranking students that want to study with other top students, and long term those high quality students are likely to accomplish more and further reinforce the reputation.

The flywheel starts to break if when you’re choosing between Harvard and somewhere else, you pick somewhere else. These kinds of small shifts are the rumblings you’d expect to see if the edifice was beginning to crack.

Sorry. this isn't correct at all. FreeCAD development is very active and it's getting better every day. I'm using the developer versions because, there are just so many improvements happening to UI and usability.
Its development process has also improved a lot since a commercial entity (ondsel.com), run by an active FreeCAD developer. started helping.
Just checkout the latest release notes for 0.21, 0.22 and 1.0 if you haven't tried it for a while (sections for PartDesign and Sketcher workspaces are the most relevant, if you just want to design for e.g. 3D printing).

That guy is not an influencer. An influencer is an attractive, young, wealthy person who endorses a product by producing "content" about using/consuming it in their extremely expensive apartment/house or on an extremely expensive trip. They sell stuff by being hot, which is nothing new. The difference is that the companies who make the stuff don't have to pay an ad agency, they just pay a person with a lot of instagram followers to post about it.

Thanks for posting that channel though, I decided I liked that guy within 5 seconds.
