Surprise, English is a European language.
I think it's entirely what we're used to. Mainly when I hear one the other way around it's a non-native speaker, but sometimes the inverted order is used for effect, e.g. A Song of Ice and Fire sounds off-kilter, like its world and characters.
It could have been VBScript.
Yeah, Tullio.jl is a great package. Basically, it is just a macro for generating efficient for loops.

I guess, it might be hard to achieve similar feature in Python without metaprogramming.

Hah! I'm working on something very similar!

The screens are by far the most tricky part to get right, size and positioning.
At first I thought about using one of the super thin Sony mobile screens for the entire thing, then using an overlay to separate them, annnd then to make it tactile with knobs, the knobs would touch the screen, and the phone would send the co-ords to the playback device (RPi in my case).

But that's because I wanted a very "thin" end product. Making it deeper allows for some more creative layout.

I've settled on a linear potentiometer driven by a stepper motor, and it's working out for me so far!

Good luck with yours! Got any links to follow it on?

I love incandescent twinkly colored christmas mini-lights, so much that I use them for providing walkable light at night around the doors to the backyard for roommates. They have a warm glow that LED’s just don’t replicate yet, and the filament and glass make them more gem-like. And the twinkle bulbs are truly “random” and also create subtle and pleasing variations in brightness in the whole line, due to voltage fluctuations.

Not a single one has burned out in something like 4 years of runtime. Honestly the paint inside the bulbs is going to fade away completely before these things go out. The trick is 2 things:

1. Don’t move them

2. Use a dimmer and run them around 75% power

Lack of physical buttons aside, I really miss this era of UI design. Part of it is nostalgia, sure, but there is something comforting about skeuomorphism that we just don't see anymore. Perhaps it was necessary back then to enable a smooth transition towards digital interfaces, whereas now we have digital native generations that don't need it. The sad thing is that now these digital interfaces are driving the design of our physical ones, which I think most consumers would agree is a regression from what we've had before. Manufacturers: stop optimizing for cost, and start optimizing for user experience.
Yes, wanted to link it too.

Actually, the changes are quite debatable. Since it simplifies economic model of the game, not adds flexibility as might be assumed at first.

Even more, players already have been finding a way to deal with high rents, for example, by changing the zoning: https://www.reddit.com/r/CitiesSkylines/comments/17i5z33/com...
The definition of "developed country" doesn't really track those metrics, though. It's more about economy, level of technology and general infrastructure commonly available, etc.
I understand HOL, because it is just sorted first-order logic.

I also care about foundations, which is why I need to understand what a topos exactly is.

So, it seems that the steps you describe, until and including "Find other naturally occuring examples of topoi" can all be done in first-order logic set theory, is that right?

ps: for people saying topoi, do you also say thermoi as a plural for thermos?

"The idea that art solely is an act of rebellion rather than say worship"

I did not say that and neither did Heine.

Most of his works were political. But this is not the same as propaganda, which is more like advertisement. With the tools of lying, deceiving and manipulating.

And whether "Triumph des Willens" and alike qualifies as art, I have a different opinion.
This is my experience, too. Some of the worst code I‘ve seen was a Haskell guy who first built his own (reactive?) concurrency framework and then implemented the actual functionality in completely unidiomatic and undocumented Java.

Last data has that at about $0.25/W, although there's currently a bit of a glut so you may be able to find lower on the open market. Don't forget to add taxes, because the West is not keen enough on the renewable transition to allow China to subsidize it.
My answer would be yes. But the latter is incredibly difficult. You need to sell the idea (and it's related emotions and usefulness) in addition to the product.
Disappointed for the same reason. A device with physical buttons and even led based panels would be the real deal.
IIRC from one of the whistle-blower accounts, the main issue was that the Boeing computer system only had an option for fully removing the door, which wasn't done, only a partial removal to allow access to the parts needing work. There was then a disjoint between the Spirit work system and the Boeing one which resulted in someone saying "fuck it" and skipping it.

Let me see if I can find the account again.

The EU gets a lot of heat for many things (and rightfully so), but this is an area where it is actually doing wonders in favor of consumers.

Here is the directive adopted by the EU Council to promote the repair of broken or defective goods, also known as the right-to-repair (or R2R) directive:

"The directive adopted today enshrines a new right for consumers: the right to have defective products repaired in an easier, cheaper and faster way. It also gives manufacturers the incentive to make products that last longer and can be repaired, reused and recycled."

And HP-UX Vaults.
OpenBSD was stagnant when it came to hardening for a while, but the last few releases really added new defense in depth technologies e.g. whitelisting all syscall entry points at link time -> if your process doesn't contain fork() and execve() they're is unavailable even after you exploited a RCE. If the process is already restricted by pledge() and unveil() it can't just regain the disabled system calls. These technologies are not a fine grained and "theoretical sound" like a pure capability like FreeBSD's Capsicum, but they're a whole lot easier to retrofit to existing non-trivial applications which means more code is covered by good enough mitigations to drive the attack costs up significantly and make certain (classes of) bugs unexploitable.
They're great, old technology but good fun. Only problem is the pricing: https://www.digikey.co.uk/en/products/detail/bourns-inc/PSM0... that's over twenty of your US dollars for one of them.

I've seen some of the "abliterated" models flat-out refuse to write novels, other times they just choose to skip certain plot elements. Non-commercial LLMs seem to be hit or miss... (Is that a good thing? I don't know, I just screw around with them in my spare time)

I'll try command-r though, it wasn't on my list to try because it didn't suggest what it was good at.
Most of the bugs I got on numpy programs came from a variable with a different ndims as expected being broadcast implicitly.

Implicit type casting is considered a mistake in most programming languages; if I were to redesign numpy from scratch I would make all broadcasting explicit.

My solution to these problems is asserting an array's shape often. Does anybody know is there's a tool like mypy or valgrind, but that checks mismatched array shapes rather than types or memory leaks?
Apparently Chinese mainstream silicon PV modules are already a bit cheaper at ~0.14USD/W right now.

Article doesn't talk about efficiencies but it seems production perovskite modules are slightly lower than their silicon counterparts, which will affect downstream costs like land or mounting hardware a bit.
Oof. Pretty damn damning, and from someone who certainly would know.
You don't want to hear this, but it's because what we programmers do is the easy part of software. In the hardware business the goal is well-defined (just be faster+) and all the magic is in how to do it. In software the difficult part is figuring out what the customer actually wants and then getting your organization to actually align on building that. The coding itself is easy.

+There is obviously some nuance to what faster means. Faster at what? But finding some popular workloads and defining benchmarks is a lot easier than what software people have to do
During the glut of solar panels last year prices fell to as little as $0.17/W.

The value proposition of perovskite cells is combining them with regular panels to form more efficient tandem cells.
You're missing the fact that the Phoebus cartel fined members that sold lightbulbs lasting longer than 1,000 hours. Aftr reaching a stable equilibrium, it's not surprising that 1,000 hours remained the industry standard. It drove sales!

I can confirm Free offer is pretty good. Just keep in mind that after some time outside of France (like 6 month?) sim will stop working, but you can of course always register new one.

Hi all and @snorremd,
(Philippe from the CrowdSec team)

The $2.5K / month was for enterprise, but we didn't correctly understand the need and converted it to 2 optional prices: $1K for LTS and $1K for support.
This will be reflected in an update on our pricing page this week; thanks, everyone, for your patience in this matter.

It took us time to segment our four products properly. We wanted to avoid pivoting later, as it happened to so many other open-source tools recently.

* The Security Engine (IDS+WAF+IPS) is for everyone.
(Free / MIT license, three free blocklists)

* Its SaaS companion is made for anyone with a security engine.
(Generous free tier, $31/engine/month for pro industrialization features, 3 premium blocklists + all free ones. Volume discounts avail. We'll soon merge SecOPS and enterprise plans, all features at the price of the SecOPS plan)

* Blocklists are made for M/L entities to use.
(In the range of a few ten of K$ yearly, all blocklists, unlimited)

* The Full CTI database is intended to be used by L/XL Corps.
(It contains 32 fields about ~25M IP, with industry targeted, country targeted, tech stack targeted, AS and range reputation, etc. Local replication at your place, several updates/day. 10 to 20K$ / month, depending on some parameters)

PS: As we did for the Olympic Games 2024, we'll also give away a blocklist for the US presidential election of the most aggressive IP against US assets. With a quarter of a million machines running CS, we have a fairly good overview of this, in real-time.

Safer together.

Enshittification is also happening for software. "We haven't changed in 20 years" equals "Our stuff is not shittified".
> possible exception of unit-specific power adapters

No. Unit-specific power adapters should not exist. Either put a USB-C or a 120v/240v AC connector on the device, depending on power requirements. It's really not that hard.

Note: it must be connector, not a fixed cable. I.e. an IEC C8 or C14.
What hardware do you need to make the slider? Other than that and finding displays of the correct dimensions, with a 3D printer it should be pretty simple to make.
Is there any source for that claim?
It's a shame monitors don't provide 5V from pin9 of the VGA connector... Would be nice to be able to power things from the monitor connection. IIRC, SCART provides +9V.
Not only Turbo Pascal, this more sane approach to inline Assembly was quite common in the PC world compilers, regardless of the programming language.

It's not like the state doesn't do that in Western nations. Look at solar power in the US. Tax incentives from manufacturing, installation and the end user.

The issue is that the state doesn't have a crystal ball. It's still just picking winners and losers (and often gets it wrong).

It can't predict which technology will be the winner in the end. And in fact it tends to "force" it's choice of technology which can end up retarding adoption of the actual winner.

Imagine if the US government had gotten behind the technology of video cassette recording. It would have gone all in on Betamax.

I'd much prefer the government making it easier for private entities to pursue the research themselves and let the market determine the winner.
If only you could install Java.
> collecting them surely costs the consumer economy much more than the gains the state governments have from them

Undoubtedly, but why would the tax collection apparatus care about that? They still gain more money than they would if they didn't do it.
>I'd like to point out that physical controls are expensive.

Do you guys not have money?

I've seen a chain of satellites flare with the naked eye once, but as I'm not much into astronomy it was just a curiosity I looked up after the fact. I suspect astronomers don't care for Starlink "photo bombing" their observations.

They're already available in the Debian repos and probably elsewhere as well.
That isn't proper C, rather GCC and clang dialects of inline Assembly.
Children need to develop the soft skills necessary to deal with the fact that crab bucket mentality is very real and can very easily ruin their lives if they can't figure out how to deal with it. Reducing "development" to "how big factoid sponges can I make my child" is not going to help with that.

The hardest parts of self driving are related to interacting with others on the road - other cars, pedestrians, cyclists, animals, debris etc. Waymo has mostly solved these problems, in a real environment, with only some simple limitations in top speed (and a major limitation for climate - they don't work in heavy rain, fog, snow, etc). Sure, the environment is fully mapped out, so it's not easy to scale their solution. But they've solved an extremely difficult problem extremely well, with some well defined constraints.

FSD has no defined constraints, sure. But it is FAR from solving the problems that Waymo has solved, and far from solving the problems that the CEO has promised to solve. If you hacked a Tesla to run with FSD without a driver in the car and let it roam in real traffic, even in Phoenix, it will crash within the first 100km. It's very, very far from being able to safely work without human intervention.

And NNs are inherently very noisy, so they are not a promising approach for a safety critical system. Combining that with pure camera vision, which is very limited even in animals that have literally had billions of years of training, is a fool's errand. FSD as it exists right now does not work, and will never work. Time will show this: Tesla will either give FSD up, or will switch to camera+LIDAR.
Unless you want cycle-accurate interfaces, it's pointless. Software can provide more than good enough performance and be a lot more flexible at that.

As microcontrollers get faster, the cycle-accurate timing becomes less relevant, as you can still match external timings with software and have the support of an RTOS to help with that.

Thanks for taking the time, very interesting! So the headline really isn’t clickbait. That’s… that’s incredible. I thought the models were optimizing some pre-birth (hatching?) interventions, but from your comment and the very first of the many figures, it sounds like the models were intervening realtime. This is the world’s first true digital cyborg, no? At least on a cognitive level rather than muscular/sensory/etc?

We presented a hybrid system that used deep RL to interact with an animal's nervous system to achieve a task following a reward signal. Agents customized themselves to specific and diverse sites of neural integration, and the combined system retained the animal's ability to flexibly integrate information in new environments.

FWIW the authors implications at the beginning and end about applying this to large mammals for its own sake seems dubiously motivated at best, and like something we should never encourage doing to other people. Literally hooking up your brain to remote processing would presumably mean you can longer tell what parts of your subconscious perceptions are due to your personality and perspectives and biases, and what parts are artificial… I’m not sure I could think of a closer technological parallel to “selling one’s soul to the devil”. You’d be consigning yourself to (potential? Inevitable?) ego death, in the long term.

But obv those parts are included for rhetorical purposes, and likely encouraged by the powers that be (journal editors?) to generate interest among laymen and professionals both. So I’m absolutely not hating the players, here! This will no doubt be a critical tool for all sorts of studies going forward, though TBH I’m blanking on how they would be designed to get useful info from this. I guess “lesion organoid X and replace it with an ML network, train 1000 versions, and see what kinds of networks end up best replicating nominal behavior?”
