The only direct dependency is imagemagick; the rest are pulled in by that; here's a breakdown:

Common build-time requirements:

- bash

- m4

- libtool

Image decoding libraries:

- libpng

- jbig2decjpeg-turbo

- libtiff

- openjpeg

- ghostscript

- giflib

- openexr

- webp

- jpeg-xl

- aom

- libde265

- x265

- libheif

- libraw

Image manipulation:

- imagemagick

- liblqr

- little-cms2

Font-rendering (needed to display vector formats):

- freetype

- fontconfig

General purpose and/or math libraries:

- glib

- libomp

- imath

- highway

This leaves the following:

- brotli : a compression library; I suspect some image format uses it.

- libidn : probably a deep dependency, command line tools ought not be doing domain-name lookups

- libvmaf : A video related library; probably a dependency of one of the video-codec based image libraries?

- shared-mime-info : figure out what file type a file is

- jasper : found a few possibilities for what this is; I don't use homebrew so don't know how to resolve a brew name to an OSS project

I disagree with this assessment. If Bik sees "shockingly blatant" copying, it's almost certain the author (or one of the authors) specifically, with intent, committed fraud. The other main explanation is incompetence (it's not impossible to misattribute a specific figure if your data handling is poor).
>"I bought this place and now you have to pay to live there" which is the highest form of doing nothing.

How can that be worse than "I didnt even buy this place, and now I get to live here"
The people who worked on this amazing effort are not allowed to cheer and be happy? What about spectators that gather like these employees to watch a launch from a distance? What about the ones who showed up for the space shuttle?

If you have followed SpaceX over the last 10-15 years, you’ll know that this is normal and is what makes the broadcasts fun to watch. The footage is high quality, with transparent telemetry, and multiple live views - unlike anything before or since. And the sheer joy of those employees is infectious.

What Musk, Shotwell, and the SpaceX team have achieved is truly astonishing and a massive win for humanity. I own no Tesla stock or cars, don’t use Starlink, and don’t use Twitter. But twisting this into something negative like this just does not make any sense to me. If anything, this comment shows the cult of (likely ideological) hatred towards Musk is more dangerous and unsettling than the alleged cult of personality around Musk.
This model has:
1. On par or better performance than Llama-3-70B-Instruct
2. A much more comfortable context length of 128k (vs the tiny 8k that really hinders Llama-3)

These 2 feats together will probably make it the first serious OS rival to GPT-4!

I personally think if you are at fault because you were on your phone, you should lose your license and the device for a period of time. After that timeout period, you then have to pay for a device to be installed in your car that forces you to place your device in it that prevents it from being used as anything similar to a breathalyzer ignition lockout.

People will not put down their devices with the current no consequence state we find ourselves now.

Fully expected this, I'm prepared for "Recall" AI surveillance to be pushed onto every proprietary operating system in the next couple of years. First as an opt-in, then an opt-out, and finally made mandatory and only possible to disable via some kind of config/registry hacks. Every major power broker wants Recall to be the norm - the government for mass surveillance, bosses to spy on their employees/"measure productivity" and Tech CEOs to sell your usage habits and target more ads at users. Recall is a nakedly user-hostile feature that only benefits the most powerful people in the world, which is why we'll be seeing it everywhere very soon.

> it's not competitive with the expensive avrs when it comes to mixed-signal peripherals and 1.8-volt support. you get 3.3 to 5 volts, a 10-bit adc (1.7 megasamples per second with a ±2% bandgap reference), and an op-amp (so you can do differential input to the adc and set its gain), a basic set of digital peripherals, and that's about it. that's still better than an atmega328 or an stm32f103 but not in the same league as the stuff you're talking about

Yeah, the features you just talked about are definitely more akin to what AVR Dx or Ex have to offer (albeit the ch32v003 is cheaper and has less features).

I do like this modern trend of making incredibly powerful peripherals that most mixed-signal designs need (ex: adding OpAmps to a device, or in the AVR case, adding Differential ADCs to explicitly support more use cases). This design trend didn't exist back in the day when ATMega328pb was designed however, so you don't get it with the old chip.

-----------

OpAmps seem to be one magic device that really should be in more of these designs. There's so much you can add with one OpAmp (or a team of 3x OpAmps). So I love it when people point out chips with an OpAmp (or two or three) that come with a uC.

I've seen some pretty silly designs, like using the OpAmps to sense Voltage (or current), hooking up the output of those OpAmps to the Analog Comparator that triggers an interrupt + internal state, and that state controls a Timer-waveform / PWM output that controls a Voltage-Controlled Current-Controlled battery charger that's feeding a MOSFET + inductor to create effectively a software-controlled buck-boost converter. I doubt its as good as any "real" solution, but if you've got a bunch of these uCs lying around, it might be a better solution than adding more SKUs of the specialized power chips.

Just a hobbyist here btw. Not a real engineer. The real engineers might look at my previous paragraph with horror!
Jesus, I'm losing it, thank you, you saved me from looking foolish (at least, continuing to :) )
Traffic accidents and deaths are rising because of phones. I think we actually "won" the war on drunk driving, only to have a new more vicious war set upon us.

Collision energy and thus damage increases with the square of speed (or ~speed^4 for head-on) so there is still an interest in controlling speed.

Most drivers (especially those over 35yo) will auto-regulate their speed to the optimal (safety vs throughput) for the road design. The problem is the ones who don't. Speed limits are set lower than this optimal speed, partly to make it easier to stop and charge drivers that can't auto-regulate well. Most of the time you will be ignored for going 5-10mph over. If you are over that, it is seen as deliberate defiance and "you are asking to be pulled over".

Automatic enforcement turns this de facto road law on it's head however.

During the 1970's oil crisis, highway speeds were capped at 55 mph nationwide. It took several decades for this to reverse and only after safety studies showed that differential speeds (those obeying and those going the optimal natural speed for the road) is a significant contributing factor in crashes. Unfortunately, speeds limits are still often below optimal because of an assumption that every driver will always go at least 5mph over the limit (which is incorrect).

On 70 mph interstates away from urban/commuter traffic (where time pressures often affect driving), It's not unusual to see some cars going 5mph below the limit. That is a sign that these Interstate segments have the optimal natural speed.
First of all, there's no need for a complete expropriation all at once. Having a significant property tax that scales with time would do the trick too. Start with 5%, next year the tax is 10% of its original price, then 15%, etc. After 4 years you lost half of your property, so I'm happy with that, and since it's all about percentage like other taxes you should be happy too.

And then, all this argument is basically a straw man, because there no need for the state to guess anything or to set threshold, at all: all you need to do is mandate people to declare their primary residence, and in fact it is the case in many fiscal system already! If it is your primary residence, then fine, you can leave it empty for as long you want, as long as you are not lying on the fact that this is in fact your primary residence (and if you're lying, then the state must gather the evidence and win against you in court, which is what the rule of law is).

Tada! Imaginary problems solved.
They do. The signal in question peaked at around 250 Hz, so in the bass range of human hearing.

But as noted in other posts the post you're replying to was based on an incorrect assumption - there's a corrected value in one of the comment threads, and the distance for it to be audible is much closer than originally posted, roughly the Earth-Moon distance.
Personally I find the small shell function below really helps my tmux workflow. Run it with no arguments and you'll get a list of available sessions. Run it with a session name and it will start the session if it doesn't exist or reattach if it does. If you're already in one tmux session, it will just switch over your client to that session.

The function below will also automatically detach other clients, but for me it's what I want since other clients are always just me on another machine, often with a different screen size.

tm () {
if [ -z $1 ]
then
tmux list-sessions
return
fi
tmux detach -s $1 2> /dev/null
if [ -n "${TMUX+1}" ]
then
tmux switch-client -t $1 2> /dev/null || tmux new-session -s $1
else
tmux attach-session -t $1 2> /dev/null || tmux new-session -s $1
fi
}

It'll probably actually help AI development everywhere.

It'd reduce the US advantage over Europe-- since an AI startup could actually do useful stuff without breaking the bank on training and running the models, but it'd basically be a rebalancing where hardware companies get less and actual AI companies get more.

So apparently the caveat is antitrust are ‘reportedly’ looking at NVIDIA.

But from what I’ve seen they haven’t really done anything anti-competitive. They seem like the same company as they were years ago: selling devices, software for the devices and support for the software.

Compare to the tech megacorps who have evolved via acquisition, data brokerage and enshittification and always seem to find new ways to pop up and make you roll your eyes.
AI is just the "logical" end of the enshitification of everyday (digital) life that is well under way.

That's not how economics works, the very sign of a monopoly is that companies have market power and can set prices, that's why companies want to have one. Under monopoly conditions profits say precisely nothing about the quality of a product.

> Also, consider the fact that agriculture is only about 12,000 years old, but human beings have been living on Earth for about 200,000 years (in our current form)

Classic "appeal to nature" fallacy, with no real evidence to back up. If humans were healthier before 12,000 years ago, surely it'd be easy to prove that they had lower mortality rates and longer life expectancy?

Summarization is one of the most difficult tasks for any LLM and over that context window, crazy to think it could do it.

That context window is useful if you have a smaller data extraction task, like dates, times, place names, etc. And even that it might need to be fine tuned on. These small models are a feedstock.

In general, I'm getting the impression from your comment that you have some overly idealistic beliefs, and that you're perhaps unwilling to engage honestly with ideas that are counter to your own, but in any case..

Re: The Dawn of Everything

You're saying you don't agree with him because of a book you read - but that book has legitimate historians making some pretty bold criticisms: "cherry-picked and selectively presented examples", "perilously close to scholarly malpractice."

There is some positive feedback as well, but in general, if a book claiming to be historical elicits this kind polarization, it's probably not something to base a strong belief on.

I'm also not quite sure why you would find it hard to agree with the notion that, throughout history, humans have been protective of their territory. The list of examples you could point to for this is unending.

> Why then some people usurp land and natural resources and not let others use them?

You're question here doesn't really do accomplish anything re: property somehow being theft. I would suggest that "the reason" some people aquire land and don't let others use it can simply be because they don't want to. Sometimes the answer is that it's not financially viable to share it. Sometimes the answer is that they fear the destruction of the land or resource if they just open it up to anyone. Any of these reasons is sufficient, because they don't actually need a reason.

> If you agree that there is no natural rights, then how do you justify private property rights?

To start, the other guy never claimed private property was a natural right. The rights we have emerged from people wanting to self organize for their mutual benefit. They needed to agree on some fundamental protections that enable an actual net benefit of their organized society, and giving people rights to own and protect their property is generally needed for people to feel confident that effort they put in to improve the land is effort they will be rewarded for. It's a nice idea that people will improve land for the good of humanity, but in reality, people are not motivated by that enough to overcome the people who would abuse that system by "free-loading". It should tell you something that private property + property rights have consistently emerged, whenever people have tried to put together a society.

> Please share your sources for this statement

I admittedly didn't know much about this, but on some cursory research, it seems pretty obvious to me that this was not an entirely "free choice" based movement..

"Rebels wore ski masks and used furniture and other office materials to barricade themselves inside of buildings once they had taken them over.[11] During the occupation of the city, rebels also painted pro-Zapatista statements on the walls of buildings.[12] While raiding San Cristóbal de las Casas, the Zapatistas released 230 predominantly Indigenous prisoners from jail and also demolished land records in protest"

I prefer tmux because I can run it on servers/remote machines too. It doesn't require X so runs perfectly and happily on headless machines. Can also be nested.

I'm all for adding those features to the terminal emulators, but it will never meet and certainly not exceed tmux in flexibility, power, portability, and compatiblity.
No market system anywhere ends up with one person owning everything. That is the standard under non-market systems, though.

CSI: Compressing Similar Images
I've got a 20 gig database of business pictures in JPEG format - they're closeup pictures of boat decks from 700 different boats. However many boats are similar, and many images share identical pixels from slightly different views. So I'm wondering if I can compress them with a differ compression engine that better exploits the similarity and overlap between images. I'm also wondering if I could fine tune a neural network image compressor.

What tools would you use in production? Or is this still experimental territory? And if so, which projects should I invest in?

It's interesting that Lowe said this:
>When I review a paper, I freely admit that I am generally not thinking “What if all of this is based on lies and fakery?” It’s not the way that we tend to approach scientific manuscripts. Rather, you ask whether the hypothesis is a sound one and if it was tested in a useful way: were the procedures used sufficient to trust the results and were these results good enough to draw conclusions that can in turn be built upon by further research?

I have, over time, come to treat every paper I read as being based on lies and fakery (or incompetence, unconscious bias, or intentional omission of key details), and I work to convince myself that the paper is not fradulent or false. That is, my null hypothesis is that published work is wrong.

After chattiing with many people about this, I've found that most people default ot believing a paper is right and if the figures and conclusion agree with their bias, they just move on, beliving the paper to be true. I've been guilty of this in the past as well.
Oh agreed, but all "positive attributes" are problems at extremes.

I think this is similar. Literally everything we pathologize around mental health (that isn't a direct deficit) is "normal at lower intensities"
> for example if literally everyone is speeding because speed limits are too low

is that really the case though, or is it people are so self involved that they feel they are too important to have to move that slowly? Just because everyone else is speeding does not automatically mean that faster speed is safe. It could also just be that people are assholes and they do what they want.

> Landlords will always extract maximum rent possible from tenants

Landlords are competing in a market. The maximum possible rent has to do with how much the rest of the market is charging. That in turn is capped from above by how much a would be landlord would pay to buy a unit and start renting it out. If that price goes up, then landlords can charge more.

There is also a maximum amount that people can pay, but they have little choice but to pay whatever the market is charging, or else live on the street.
> I merely read the article

Yeah we don't usually do that here :-)
This is a very weird take. In 1998, MSFT announced a 28% increase in revenue with EPS increasing by 35% and ~4B in revenue. MSFT was making incredible revenue and profits for that time and were 100% engaged in practices to maintain their monopoly and extend it to unrelated areas (e.g. internet browsers).

For those that don't remember, here's examples of what MSFT did:

1. Kickbacks to computer OEMs to prevent the installation of alternative OSes. Basically buying market share & preventing competition.

2. Embrace, extend, extinguish to take over standards protocols in favor of Microsoft-developed ones.

3. Unnecessarily integrating IE into the OS, making it the default browser, and giving it access to OS APIs to work and perform well that other browsers couldn't do.

4. Leverage their OS to maintain a monopoly in the office suite space and use the office suite to maintain a monopoly in the OS space.
> Turn a fresh Ubuntu installation into a fully-configured, beautiful, and modern web development system by running a single command. That’s the one-line pitch for Omakub.

Most webdev tools are written in JS (or at least used to be). Web browsers run JS just fine. Webdevs, then, should be striving to make sure that their JS-based tooling actually runs in the browser—instead of targeting the non-standard, ever-shifting, and unreliable APIs of NodeJS et al.

There's not an especially good reason that you shouldn't be able to build 80% of the projects on GitHub that belong to this milieu by simply:

1. downloading a copy of the source code

2. opening README.html

3. following the instructions in the workspace on the resulting page that says "to build this project, drag and drop the project folder here"

NPM/NodeJS programmers so desperately wanted to be taken seriously that they reimplemented wholesale all of the bad, fiddly things about toolchain installation, configuration, and maintenance that afflicts all other platforms/stacks that didn't have the it-just-sort-of-works-for-everyone strength that browsers have (and is largely the reason why so many webdevs choose to target browsers in order to reach end users in the first place). The perverse irony of this might be amusing if it didn't result in so many pointless excursions and wasted hours of human potential spent nursing the unfortunate status quo associated with `npm install`, yarn, etc.
It can be implemented within apps, but not across apps afaict.
