Are you making this up to make your claim sound more extravagant? Even Citadel is not that picky so unless you work at OpenAI/Anthropic I'm calling nonsense.
ReactOS takes from Wine, but Wine does not want to take from ReactOS any longer.

Weird, I had never even heard of it before.
https://sniffies.com is bar none the most successful PWA I’ve seen in the wild. Push notifications despite Apple’s nonsense and all. Impossible to have an equivalent on the app store. Nsfw.
Oh, I didn't answer the "How do you come up with the pricing" part.

Pricing is usually the same only scaled higher. We have an Excel spreadsheet that's an extension of the public pricing page. Then we look if something is complicating the contract (but we might only insist on minimum contract length, not higher price) or making it easier (they need less features which actually cost us less money and we can give discounts).

That's for an established SaaS. I assume any new SaaS only few months old will just make prices up on-the-fly (we did!).
Has ChatGPT ever billed itself as open source?
The company called itself OpenAI but I don't think they've ever declared their LLM as that...

Uh, very interesting although more images of the membrane in question and how the maneuver is executed would of course have been good to have.

Also, there was very little support for the claim in the title, that the invention of the technique had some kind of positive impact on the inventor's life. Too bad, I would have liked to learn more about that.
Because coercions are just a work-around, and more machinery hidden from you, but still there causing problems (like types).
If you are coming from C++, then yes, Lean coercions are a step up. If you are coming from mathematics, then Lean coercions are just a cumbersome work-around.
Mystery monolith appears in Nevada desert
They aren't, you just don't hear about it.

Basically everything in tech has gone through a hype cycle when everyone was talking about it, when it was the shiny new hammer that needed to be applied to every problem and appear in every resume.

A bit over 20 years ago I interviewed with a company who was hiring someone to help them "move everything to XML". Over the course of the two hour interview I tired unsuccessfully to figure out what they actually wanted to do. I don't think they actually understood what XML was, but I still wonder from time to time what they were actually trying to achieve and if they ever accomplished it.
I actually live in an area where a major apartment building collapsed with fatalities that included a coworker, so we should qualify risk.

If a building is unsafe and beyond cost-effective rehabilitation, it should come down. Undoubtedly, this new generation of buildings will grow old and follow this path, as has everything before.

Risk in style and ornamentation is a different matter, and of secondary concern.

I would far prefer to reside in a stylistically hideous but structurally sound building than anything that places my safety at risk, no matter how elegant.
Those drive on the same road, right next to you.
The conversion is between two testing libraries for React. Not to be too cynical (this sort of works seems to me like a pretty good niche for llms), but I don’t think I’d be that far off of 80% with just vim macros…
In 2016 that would be a E31 core, user-specified amount of data SRAM and icache (also SRAM), XIP from external SPI flash, user-specified number of GPIOs. Possibly integrating some simple customer peripheral IP as a memory-mapped device, or MAYBE with a simple custom instruction as a functional unit, SiFive doing a little NRE on that, and doing a $30k 180nm shuttle run giving ~300 chips.

If you could give SiFive your desired peripheral or custom instruction already integrated with Rocket and working on an FPGA (Arty) then you'd get it for under $100k for sure -- if you made SiFive do the work it would rapidly get to be more.

Disclaimer: I was an early customer for the HiFive1 (December 2016) and then worked at SiFive from early 2018 to early 2020, but I don't speak for them.
What the data consistency story around crashes ? Backup/recovery ?
Thinking like I want to take advantage of the letter of the law:

> "End-to-end encrypted messenger services are not excluded from the scope"

This was probably added precisely to include Signal, XMPP with OMEMO, etc.

> "Hosting services affected include web hosting, social media, video streaming services, file hosting and cloud services"

So not even self-hosting NAS, since this probably will be interpreted as "sharing with your family is still providing a file hosting service to them".
Which countries in europe are run by the far right right now. Most governments are still decidetly center-left even if people are finally standing up to them with their votes.
Point taken, but you can put together 2 ae vcas, a vco, power supply and headphone amp plus this module for less than 2/3 the cost of this thing. And they're optional. It's still much too expensive imho.
I’m not trivializing it, and there is nothing wrong with price dumping.

Furthermore, it’s a myth that a specific industry is the entry point to industrialization, period. It might have been historical in most or even all places, but that doesn't mean that it's a required stepstone.

They shouldn’t. Just find something else to do it’s what people should do, rather than complain.
Although ChatGPT never billed itself as open source, the company behind it called itself OpenAI which is an oxymoron as almost everything they do is as closed as possible in comparison to more open alternatives. So it's good it's included in the chart just for comparison.
Does anyone know of a maintained alternative to fasttext? It is mentioned here for language identification, but clicking through to the GitHub project, it looks to be recently archived.

I usually use a BERT model for text classification these days, but would like to have an alternative that it less CPU-heavy like fasttext at hand for high-volume use cases.

The EU Council is not the same as the EU parliament.
I’m working on a similar project (DepsHub) where LLMs are used to make major library updates as smooth as possible. While it doesn’t work in 100% cases, it really helps to minimize all the noise while keeping your project up to date. I’m not surprised Slack decided to go this way as well.
So I'm not overly familiar with either JITs, Apple's policies or emulators, so this may be a stupid idea, but I was thinking: Apple does allow exactly one JIT on iOS, in its JavaScript engine. What, technically, is preventing anyone from writing a recompiler from PowerPC machine code for the Wii to ASM.js (or even WebAssembly) and then throwing JavaScriptCore at it? It's not gonna be as fast as a recompiler straight to native code I guess, but could it be significantly faster than interpreting?

From some quick Googling, it seems like JavaScriptCore is running with the JIT disabled in most apps, but surely e.g Chrome is running with JIT enabled. Convincing Apple to let you use JavaScriptCore with JIT enabled might be easier than convincing them to let one run one's own JIT.

Also related, the rather counterintuitive theory / myth that hot water freezes faster than cold water.

It comes up every winter here when it starts freezing and people want to leave out water for the birds. I can't help to urge people to just try it instead of simply believing it. I.e., it's not that I don't believe it's impossible under certain specific circumstances, but having tried it myself a number of times and the result always being that the cold water freezes first, it's pretty clear to me that it's a bit silly to just dismiss using warm water.

Now in the UN, or at the next climate conference, people can actually say:

"Look, Vietnam, you are somehow responsible for 12.2% of the marine plastic in the ocean, with only 1.23% of the world population. We are making this trade agreement or that international investment conditional on that number improving by 2028."

Before, there was simply no way of monitoring these things. I had to invent that number. That is a massive problem in terms of the politics.

And it goes up the hierarchy as well. Vietnam can now also go "Ho Chi Minh City, look at this map, how on earth did that happen?"

Now we can actually monitor it, it's a way of keeping countries on the promises they have already made: https://www.oecd.org/ocean/topics/ocean-pollution/marine-pla...
Yeah it's a very poorly written article. Almost feels like a shallow "look a black inventor!", instead of genuinely caring and appreciating the invention.
It can, but it certainly doesnt need to.

For travel there are probably many destinations in your own country, that people actually visit your country to see. Those a typically cheaper to do. Then there is asia - I’ve traveled tree months in asia for the same budget as 10 days visiting the States. Also in general very much depends on how/where you say. Hotel in Auckland vs pet sitting gig for a week 15 mins outside of the city (housing for free).

Same for hobbies. Depends so much on what you pick for a hobby.
2024 Digital News report: news publishers face a "platform reset"
Another proof this probabilistic stochastic approach works on the prediction/token level, but not on the semantic level, where it needs a discreet system. This essentially reminds of RAG setup and is similar in its nature.

Perhaps reiterating my previous sentiment that such application of LLMs together with discreet structures brings/hides much more value than chatbots who will be soon considered mere console UI.
In some mathematical models, a particle is an excitation of a field, e.g. a mountain is an excitation of a height field. It makes calculations much easier. In those models, waves can be represented in many different ways.

In the real world, a particle can be a lot of different things, but usually we use this word to describe small parts of larger objects. There is no much physical difference between a small grain of sand and a planet, but we use different words for them, while we use the same word for small things, which can be different by many orders of magnitude.

In the real world, a wave, is just a form of group behavior of particles, i.e. many particles are doing the same thing at once because of an interaction between them and some energy in a system. For example, merging of black holes makes waves in a galaxy, so we can watch that in super slow motion.
It also takes less context potentially - allowing a more junior engineer or somebody who doesn't know much about the language/library to implement the change.
"portable, self-replicating 3D printer" you mean bacteria? I am sure someone is working on plastic eating bacteria but it might not be a great idea to have it loose in the world.
If you are able to you should really visit Europe, because it really sounds like you have the version presented to you by your favorite media.

Rosmo-Robot: open, modular robot framework for messing about
Hi all, excited to share our latest work, $50 ROSMO-Robot, which is an open and modular framework for learning robotics.

A micro-robot for ROS2 & Microblocks that can be assembled without soldering, or access to a 3D printer. An affordable, adaptable, and open-source robot, for students, makers, universities, R&D.
You can simply unbox the robot, clip it together & install microblocks from a WebUI.

We are hoping to build it together with the community!

Our code & Hardware is open: https://rosmo-robot.github.io/ and we have a Discord server for discussion and support for the ROS2 code: https://discord.gg/SQcE2ayGfC

Would love to hear more thoughts and feedback on this project!
You want to store hashed value in database as effectively as possible, hence the first 8 bytes.

Though I think a 64 bits hash algorithms might be more suitable than sha1. Personally I use fnv-1a for hashing (not the fastest but trivial to implement) instead.
In computer science, the word "code" has a very specific meaning, and markup languages definitely fit this definition.
> Are they going to put me in jail because I don't want them to read messages between me and my friends or my wife?

Them: "If you don't show us your messages, you are probably going to jail. So if you don't change your mind, and end up in jail without having shown us your messages, that means whatever was in those messages was way worse than going to jail. You probably knew you were going to get a longer sentence if you showed us those messages, and preferred to go with a shorter sentence of 'refusing to collaborate'."
That's part of why it's so hard to keep away though; stepping away gives inspiration and what do you know, your day off was more like 4 hours off, aha!, and then 5 hours of coding. Well, that's not the only way it fails, but it genuinely do be like that sometimes.
Most people can hold more than one thought in their head at the same time.

> Even if they were aware of the EU politicians of said party (which is never part of the campaign materials) then they now have even more things to compromise on with a single vote.

Maybe I'm thinking too hard about the problem, but my impression is that the role of the head of states in the Council is to represent to the best of their abilities their own countries. In that, there's nothing to compromise on when a citizen votes. If you think that person is the best to head your state, it tracks that they can do that once in the Council's chambers. I understand this can sound naive, but meh, European politics is already pretty complicated, having yet another corps of people that needs to be voted democratically feels like it adds another snag in the existing democratic process. And personally I strongly believe that anything that can be done to make it easier for citizens to materialize their democratic options the better for their nation and the EU.

I think Europe as a whole (alongside many other nations, really) suffers from having a disenfranchised and apathetic majority that prefers not to participate in elections, because they don't find representation, because it's an inconvenience, because "what's the point?", etc. All of these paper cuts lead to the results we see today after the EU parliamentary elections ended: more and more support for divisive politics. A better democratic process would drown these voices in the vast majority of moderate people in my opinion, and that's what we should strive for.

Having semi-elected officials as Councilmembers is such a small inconvenience in front of that.

Anyway, sorry for the long(ish) rant. To sum it up, I think the solution to assholes representing their countries in the EU Council is not yet another democratic process, but making it easier for everyone to cast their vote, so extreme options are less likely to crop up.
The problem with the current state of the EU is that it is governed by unelected politicians - the EU Comission, and they are very out of touch with reality. Plus the fact they managed to make themselves very hard to control or remove from power.

Latest example being farmers that are being targeted and until they did not come to Brussels to dump manure in the streets, the EU Comission did not care a bit of the harm they were causing them. And it did not care even then until France used its power to get it to listen.

The EU started as a nice project that is slowly becoming something thst not even in the wildest communist dreams was thought not possible.

> I'm actually amazed you think this way, but then again, you are a foreigner in Japan and those are constantly bitter

"Pointing out ways that something you like can improve means you secretly hate it" is not a cogent argument.

> that places in East Asia are actually not rampant with drugs and drug abused homelessness.

Have you ever been to Japan? I've met a lot of drug users, and I've seen a lot of drugs. I know someone who runs a methamphetamine self-help group and credits cannabis with his recovery. I've met compassionate growers who supply cancer patients with free cannabis. I've been in a brick-and-mortar store that sells grey-market research chemicals from overseas. I know a shaman who runs underground pharmahuasca ceremonies. And last but not least, I dodge drunk salarymen and puddles of vomit on my way home from work every Friday night. Or do you not consider alcohol to be a drug...?

> Why do you think I'm commenting here so bluntly if you think I don't know about what I'm talking about?

You didn't even know about cough medicine. You have a credibility deficit right now. I've given you names and keywords and falsifiable statements and personal experience. All you've given me is baseless confidence and status quo bias. Throw me a bone!

In the meantime, may I suggest you read a book? "Drug Use for Grownups" by Dr. Carl Hart is a good place to start.
Ah sorry, it is more and more difficult for me to detect irony these days.
You really think you could achieve 80% success rate with just syntaxic transformations, while the article says they only reached 45% success rate with fine grained ast transformations?

I am no vim hater, but allow me to cast a large, fat doubt on your comment!
The irony here for me is thick, reading the article through a machine translation, but this could be the first instance I've seen of LLMs triggering a forced major life decision. Although I'm a bit late to that party, since this is surely a huge ripple working its way through the world. The best of times, the worst of times.
I wish there was a way for EU citizens to punish the council this behaviour. Sadly, there doesn't seem to be anything in place for that.
It's sickening how corporations like Apple and governments like EU council use child abuse for wide, unrestricted invigilation of common folk.

Yes I agree with you, moreover for now I am much better as a Java or C developer than as a web developer, so for me the native approach is also simpler. However, yes, I practically never use the emulator even for Android precisely because I have to test Bluetooth, which at least in my experience on Android, is the most difficult part.
JavaScriptCore doesn't use a JIT when used in your own apps. When you embed a WKWebView it runs out-of-process and has JIT enabled. Without the entitlement you cannot execute any written memory by your own process.

All 3rd party browsers today use WKWebView and add their own "chrome" over the rendered page. In essence Chrome/Firefox for iOS are really just Safari with custom chrome for bookmarks etc…
> Well, one of them (time) is moving forward at a steady yet unchanging rate.

If you want to be technically correct, my understanding is that everything moves through spacetime with a constant vector - the faster you move through space, the slower you move through time and vise versa. We just don't notice (typically) because the effect isn't particularly pronounced below 0.01C. But I believe that GPS satellites do take this effect into account.

While visual representation of ETLs can be of great help understanding the data flow, engineers tend to eventually start using commands - either in the VSCode, or the Cisco iOS, or local shell. Applications subject to scripted automation and having command line tend to be well respected - a good example is AutoCAD which had a prompt from day one, which is like many years ago. This prompt still stays and is used by architects and alike.

This graph-based visual programming somehow fails to deliver on speed of development. Mouse has 2 buttons, the keyboard approx. 100. Not to mention that LLMs work on the language/code level, and are expected to stay so for a while. We dont' have universal means to express things visually. Except for the graph notation of edgex/virtices. But then there is no universal knowledge, people dont usually disambiguate between sequence diagram, bpmn and state diagram. these are all graphs, right, but not the same semantically.

I'd rather go for a standardized ETL langauge a-la-markdown, and only then get to appreciate the GUI.
