Many of the cultured meat companies are going about this the wrong way from an economic standpoint. They often try to make the new chicken nugget, a low cost mass produced food that may seem easy to replicate, because it is already so processed.

This is were Vow, and a few others are going the high-end, foods that haven't really existed before, with their Japanese Quail Parfait. Similar to how Tesla started with the roadster, and then went to the S, 3, Y, etc etc.

Imagine creating a cultured cavier or foie gras. Sold in small quantities to those who want the experience, social signaling, and opportunity to make a small difference. The companies won't make money on these items, but they can cover a higher percentage of their cost, and learn how to scale. Then move into less rare, but still coveted foods, etc etc

I haven't used Linqpad in a long time but one of the most useful features it had was the ability to add connections to your SQL Server databases and then write quick throwaway LINQ/Lambda style syntax queries against it, e.g.

radios.GroupBy(x=> x.Channel).Select(x=>x.OrderBy(y=>y.Price)).Select(x=>x.First());

If I remember correctly, it also let you compare the LINQ query against the transpiled SQL so you could try to hand-optimize it a bit as well.

So, I can understand how their semantic entropy (which seems to require a LLM trained to detect semantic equivalence) might be better at catching hallucinations. However, I don't see how semantic equivalence directly tackles the problem of hallucinations. Currently, I naively suspect it is just a heuristic for catching hallucinations. Furthermore, the requirement of a second LLM trained at detecting semantic equivalence to catch these events seems like an unnecessary complication. If I had a dataset of semantic equivalence to train a second LLM, I would directly incorporate this into the training process of my primary LLM
It's always amuses me how people blame Elop, completely ignoring everything what was done before him.

>> No. You should re-read that memo, specifically starting at "In 2008, Apple's market share in the $300+ price range was 25 percent; by 2010 it escalated to 61 percent." paragraph.

>> In 2010 nobody was interested in Symbian, no one else made phones on Symbian, no one would do apps for Symbian[0] - who would bother with all the Symbian shenanigans when even Nokia itself said what it would move to MeeGo 'soon', along with ~10% of smartphone market? Money was in Apple and Android.

On average I agree. Dog noise doesn't carry nearly as far. But if you're neighbors with noisy dogs, it's probably at the top of your mind.
Interesting, I wondered what it would even mean to derive a programming paradigm.
Given we are talking about meat I thought your linked plot looked weird (Australia was way too small). Then I realised that you have to select 'Animal' rather than 'Food Products' to see just meat imports, with the expected suspects being there (Aus, NZ, Brazil, Malaysia and Indonesia).
Actually, the geological record shows that mass extinctions are possible, happen somewhat regularly, and are sometimes caused by a single species altering the environment on a massive scale. For example when photosynthesizers converted 20% of the atmosphere into extremely toxic oxygen gas.

As someone who has zero stakes in this (well beyond the planet) and limited knowledge in the biological sides of this.

This feels incredibly dismissive? Sure I will concede that most likely the 9 year timeline mentioned in that article is incredibly optimistic and very likely will not come to fruition.

But I think it is also naive to think, regardless of how much you know on a particular subject, that there are not solutions to problems that have not been developed yet or that there are already examples to those problems that are not public knowledge (it even mentions that the paper was written with NDA knowledge).

Then it is even more naive to try to paint a "wall of no" seemingly in a way to shut down research on this subject.

Just look at the silicone chips allowing us to have what once would have been considered a super computer in our pockets compared to when computers were tubes. Of course at that time anyone suggesting that a personal computing device would even be possible would likely be laughed out the room, the core technology didn't even exist to think that maybe some day it would be possible.

Are these companies and that paper making lofty promises that may be borderline lying to investors, maybe. But I don't think we should be saying it is impossible at this point in time.
While those words are used to critique market failings, none of then are necessarily about the value of something independent of market efficiency. They always assume that the market assigns value correctly as long as you just avoid monopolies. They start with the assumption that markets work at assigning value for all things.

How does a market determine cultural value. What is the value of a priceless family heirloom? What is the value of human connections? How do you communicate these thoughts without first assuming that markets correctly assign value?
Dependency for Svelte compiler gets node v0.4 support

It’s unfair to equate this paper to obviously flawed ones since all their claims seem to be properly substantiated. Also, the protocol does not assume a trusted leader (otherwise agreement would be trivially solved).

In general, I am also not fond of this writing style. However, if one reads more papers published in this community/area, then one notices that many of them are written similarly. Since the primary audience of these papers are other researchers in the same area, they are presumably able to read past the cruft efficiently.

I also agree that academia incentivizes overselling results. In this case, however, this is a nice result and not oversold by the authors (being somewhat knowledgeable in this field).
I wasn't aware of that, thanks for sharing!

Do you mean greatest entropy? Not if the support is, for example, the positive reals.
There doesn't seem to be a limit to how many times a reader can smash that like button, which brings a new degree of expression to smashing that like. You can smash that like 10 times the article was good, 100 times if it was amazing, or 100 million times if you hated it and want the author to be bankrupted by their Vercel bill.

0.2mm per side? Wow that’s smaller than I’d expect. Thanks.

The increased losses due to cutting make sense too. I was expecting the cuts to be wider than 20 µm, so that’s not actually as bad as I was imagining.
costco already has this for ID cards in the states (and I've also seen it for account ID for home depot and some other places where it's tied to discounts). the app will pull up an ID card with a QR code that changes every 60 seconds or so to prevent screenshotting and trivial reuse, which is analogous to the function the chip performs in terms of challenge-authentication.
That explanation seems wrong - or rather it seems to address a completely unrelated question.

The convention by which an electron is negative and a proton positive is arbitrary and could be flipped;

Indeed it could be replaced by any pair of charge definitions x and !x.

However that has zero impact on the direction of a current's flow through a conductor (that's a physical process and is not defined or impacted by the established conventions).

I'm not sure what the real answer is, by my high school physics teacher told me that the charge is carried not by the electrons, but by the gap (a virtual particle) that flows backward as the electrons move forward.

(Similar to the way that a gap in traffic propagates backwards.)

I have no idea how wrong this is, so hopefully check the comment below from whoever bothered to correct me.
Perhaps you're coming from a perspective where policing is presumptively bad

In much of the US, this is a fair assumption. The police have no legal obligation to assist. They carry guns and are authorized to use them. They receive less training than many of their European counterparts. And the entire justice system is constructed to allow minimal accountability in the face of malfeasance. It's a recipe for not only wasted dollars, but also excess violence and wasted lives.

People don't need firearm agency. It won't fix unresponsive governments. Gun ownership just makes society measurably worse to stoke fragile egos.
Tires are only about 25% natural rubber; the rest is synthetic rubber, heavy metals, plastics, and additives. These get emitted as fine particulates that stick around in the air. They may not technically be a gas, but we breathe it in just the same.

I think you probably do subconsciously but you don’t want to admit it as they carry stigma which your background and training probably insists you avoid.

Im regards to Mars we have very little idea what is going on there. There is serious paper proposing fungi like life has already been observed but we haven’t recognized it. My understanding is a significant number of serious astro biologists think it’s likely there is currently life on Mars.

I’m definitely unaware of any archeological digs on Mars.

Since we are on the fringe topics I’ll mention that another related thought experiment is assume an advanced earlier Mars or Earth civilization moved to the Saturn system and currently resides there leveraging its abundant resources. Would we have actually detected it already?
I think there are plans for contactless smartphone tickets in Montreal too. I wonder why they haven't done that yet, it's been years since they've started talking about it.
I am glad that they haven't. Usually only a butchered version gets integrated or it gets abandoned after a while.
While I do think that better video conferencing + higher bandwidth has certainly helped the outsourcing movement, I still find that its fairly limited for many companies.

At least 50% of the positions that I come across on hiring boards that allow for fully remote still have a qualifying regional clarification (U.S. only). It's probably a combination of complexities around accounting/taxes and time zones.

However if a company can support outsourcing they can facilitate much easier communication between the onshore and offshore dev teams by restricting offshore hires by LONGITUDE not LATITUDE - e.g. United States companies hiring from Central and South America for example.
These single use tickets are used essentially only by tourists and those who use public transport only on occasion.

The vast majority of users will use rechargeable Opus cards [1] that can contain a variety of different fare types (single tickets, monthly tickets, etc).

From an operator's point of view it definitely makes sense to only have to maintain one type of reader, even if that means losing a few cents profit on the low single digit percent of rides that use the disposable tickets.

Obfuscation a User's Guide for Privacy and Protest (2016)
The difference is that those low end routers offload most or even all of the packet processing to dedicated networking hardware: it never even touches the CPU. The whole Linux stack is only used to host the management interface, configure the switching hardware, and deal with high-level stuff like DNS and DHCP. That's also why VPN performance is so horribly bad: there's no hardware acceleration for encryption, so it needs to be done on the CPU, which is not sized to deal with that kinds of traffic.
thanks! Sonnet 3.5 is really good for codegen
I don’t agree with some of it, but no matter. Have you considered modeling this visually, and filling in some of the gaps .. ontologically?
Yeah...but apparently she is more handy than me. I always joked she should work as an engineer of some sort.
One way to do it in this case would be to lower it on a rope instead of just dropping it. But maybe guidance fins would work too.
It's because Microsoft isn't really serious with C#. For years it has advertised other languages (e.g. JS on WinRT) or runtime (wasm), support in VS Code is still rather interesting, UI frameworks were never made truly multiplatform and the one which supposedly is is still buggy as hell (maui). C# 12 is a pile of crap (C# 13 looks interesting tho).

So in the end it's good all those tools stay independent and focused.

Yeah they added refills but you can't use your phone as an NFC pass yet :(. I've always been curious to know more about why, you'd think if you can refill your Opus card with your phone, to then use it on the terminal, you could just skip the card step entirely but I'm sure it's not that simple!

The OP is clearly talking about hats here. Wildly different problem spaces. Styles, whimsy, and so on.
My apologies, I misread your comment.

I think it's safe to say that the number of animals killed by pet cats is disputed. It will also be quite different in different places; my figures come from my area. The situation is also very different in Australia, where cats are a recent introduction, and the native population is naive to them, versus countries where this is not the case. I certainly don't defend letting cats outside in Australia or New Zealand.

In other places it's more a question about equilibrium. All wild animals die, either from predation, starvation, or disease; predation may not be the worse death. Nor is predation necessarily a sign of disequilibrium (IE, cats causing a falling wildlife population) - at equilibrium it's still possible for 100% of deaths to be by predation, as the older animals get slower and are predated. The exact effect of pet cats is therefore quite involved, and counting the number of kills won't tell you the whole picture even if you could get that figure.
It can pre-drop a pre-hat, and adjust for where the pre-hat lands.
I don't understand the point you're trying to make in the first three paragraphs.

> Is this statement from 2006 still true

AFAIK Fedora is primarily volunteer-developed. At the same time RH has some decision-making power and pours some resources in it.

> If you are paid to work on a project, you are not a volunteer.

what does the above have to do with anything?

> why should profit be the primary motive to support accessibility on a FOSS system

IDK ask Aral why is he calling volunteers ableist while at the same time not providing patches. Maybe do a little experiment -- go fund his foundation and see whether he would fix the issue then.

That makes me envious. I've figured out the debug log compression part myself, but the rest is beyond my reach.

> If your market is large enough that managing your own infrastructure is attractive

This. I imagine proprietary is perfect when you are deploying in a single country with single RF plan. And your customer utility company that is willing to maintain a bit of extra infrastructure. But if you want to deploy on several sites scattered across all ITU regions, and each site is a huge plant with devices from maybe fifty different suppliers, it's just a no-go.
I don’t doubt your feelings here but this is one step away from saying “the suffering/tragedy is the point.”
FB Marketplace was one of the places we almost got burned, even though it was a local group. And we have traded stuff with other parents for needed items, but their kids are either too young or too way too old, but we still trade/give away what we can. And unfortunately, our extended families are mostly childless or have adult kids. I guess it's the bane of being the youngest lol.

Pretty much, yeah! But the only NICs with compute that I'm aware of use quite expensive FPGAs. Being able to use off-the-shelf hardware would be far cheaper, far easier to develop for, and far more flexible.
"without having an understanding of his principles, even if they are not in agreement with them"

I know the sentence was longer, but even in context that still sounds to me: "Those who do not agree, have apparently not understood it". Maybe you meant it different, but this is the vibe I am getting often from GNU folks. This is what people criticize as cult like behavior. And statements around here like RMS the "last true hacker", fit into that.

Well, I have not seen much code from him lately.

And assuming he rather became an "societal hacker", well, then apparently not a very succesful one, if this is the result:

"Rarely people understand what he stands for, that his not the poster child of "Open Source", and all they know is that he ate something off his foot in a video."
There are several.

That's unnecessarily negative. A better question is what the answer to a prompt is grounded in. And sometimes the answer is "nothing".
