For anyone wanting to try different styles of images using SD, I made a list of cheat sheets of styles a while ago https://gist.github.com/SMUsamaShah/218e602d508e891a123929ce...

I don't play with SD anymore mainly because now i find it exhausting to keep up with the tools and tech and low prompt adherence when trying to generate something specific. It's still fun if you are happy with whatever it gives you without putting in much effort though.

> Meanwhile ruminants are essential to ecosystems

Ruminants, yes, corn/grain fed livestock, no. Sadly the days where most of your meat production is coming from cows on a family ranch grazing on acres of grassland is long since gone and most of our beef is coming from cows fed on those "millions of acres of GMO monocrops drenched in Roundup".

I come from a long line of Montana ranchers, I'm in no hurry to see beef production disappear, and it certainly won't be disappearing from my plate anytime soon, but it's important to acknowledge that the ranches of today look nothing like what my parents grew up on.

I also suspect that were you to draw a Venn diagram of people who want less meat consumption, and people who want less monocrops drenched in roundup, you'd discover you've drawn a circle. These viewpoints are not mutually exclusive.
The epistemology problem never goes away. How should I have any confidence that it's correctly flagging things for review? I need to go through 28800 documents to see if it missed anything.

You're right, I am comparing it to that alternative. There are fields and applications where this is necessary. I do not know if drilling reports are one of them. If you can tolerate a large false negative rate then great. But if you need to be catching 99.99% of problems then IMO you should at least be able to show your work. Taking black box output and throwing it over the wall sounds so sketchy in engineering contexts.
It's definitely too late for LCM -- the heirs don't care about the societal value and are parting it out. It's gone.

It'd be super cool if CHM added a living computers wing. They've done a few nice restorations of some large machines, but it's not really the same as something like making a few terminals connected to a PDP-10 directly available to the public. Or some of the early, weird PCs, Unix boxes, Lisp machines.
The injunction was an attempt by the right-wing.

The right-wing SCOTUS seems to have determined it was a bit too much.
I would weaken and expand this a bit.

1. If you like Nix, you'll probably like Nickel, too.

2. If you use Nix enough that there are enough specific things you hate about it to comprise a wishlist, you might be extra excited about Nickel for checking some of those boxes.

3. If you looked at Nix code for 5 minutes and instantly bounced off it because it seemed alien and unpleasant, Nickel might give you similar feelings.

I think (3) often resolves itself with experience, so it's potentially worth coming back to Nix or Nickel in a more patient and curious mode, if you've had that reaction.
> All the channel-based code I’ve seen just has 100’s of call sites like “chan->send()” and “chan->recv()” sprinkled around

This just sounds like badly written chaotic code. Unfortunately there are some people who seem to think "Go has channels, therefore, I need to use channels as much as possible", but that's almost always a mistake.

Channels shouldn't be used very frequently, but they can be very handy especially in combination with select and/or buffered channels. Usually there should be a clear and "obvious" API.
This is probably going to sound silly, but I wonder how it compares to TinyLlama and others.

I feel bad for teenage engineering. I'm a fan of their gear and its design, including the R1's physical design. It's a shame that it didn't have utility and turned into such a hot mess.

Maybe they can add some MIDI ports and make some sort of funky pocket instrument.
I'm kinda sad that as far as I can see, no cars have protections against 'stupid DIY mechanic puts finger in spark plug while cranking engine'. I'm sure those sparks have killed many people by now.

All they'd need to do is have the spark happen not to ground but to another return wire, and then check the impedance between both wires and ground is infinite before firing.

Plenty of other benefits to such a design - eg. you can more accurately measure flame propogation within the cylinder (detect bad nozzles on injectors).

No. Python's static typing is a complete joke. The core tools are overly lenient by default and without enforcement of anything at runtime you will be bitten sooner or later. I've spent several years with a very large, fully type annotated codebase and it's just not sufficient.

Harvesting energy from this "sky fusion reactor" (if it really exists) has this small pesky problem of being unavailable if you can't see the fusion reactor, in a daily phenomena known to scientific experts as "night", as well as this other intermittent problem dubbed "clouds" by scientific experts in weather and weather-related fields, so I can think of at least two places to improve upon sky-fusion-energy-harvesting technology. An at-home fusion reactor would not have problems there.

I wonder how social media would turn out if people combined this with AdNauseam.

Every time you visit a website, your PC will show you an empty page and in the background it'll click all ads for 8 seconds, then it'll switch to hiding all ads and showing you the content. Most likely, all ad networks will quickly block you for ghost clicks. But I wonder what they'll do next? Can the ad network report you to publishers' pages? Or will you still see the content but all ads will be missing because the ad network refuses to show you anything?
sorry for not clarifying.

I agree that at a micro level people are just trying to find a job and do the best they can. But the system as it’s designed drives these incentives. Have you seen the typical lunch that a japanese student eats every day? Not sure how anyone can look at the typical american child’s lunch and not feel shame and guilt. This is something the government could change if someone with power wanted to.

Interesting, I've never thought of running syncthing behind koreader. Do you use any particular plugin like [this](https://github.com/jasonchoimtt/koreader-syncthing)?

How do you configure wifi connectivity in koreader to make this useful? koreader seems to prefer keeping wifi off unless you do an action that needs the internet. Do you leave wifi on, or just periodically turn it on manually to sync?

> There's a right to the security of your person and effects, which requires the right to body autonomy. How can you be secure in your body without being able to control it as you see fit?

The 4th amendment doesn’t provide some abstract “right to the security of your person.” It provides a very specific right: “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”

It’s a right to be free of unreasonable and warrantless searches. Nobody seriously believes that this preclude the government from regulating medical procedures such as abortion. You would be outraged if someone tried to read a contract in a similarly hand-wavey fashion in a way that was contrary to your interest.

You’re resorting to divine law again. Who says the right to bodily autonomy is the most “fundamental freedom?” And even if it is, where does the Constitution say it protects anything someone calls a “fundamental freedom?” And even if there is a right to bodily autonomy, how do you figure it bars the government from making it illegal to kill a human life you created?

“Well regulated” means you can require gun licenses and things like that. How do you figure it can be used to ban guns altogether?

People do consider it.

But one of the issues with the tax system is that it’s not just a revenue generation mechanism. It is also used to encourage ‚good’ behaviours (e.g. saving for pensions) and discourage ‚bad’ (e.g. gambling).

So, whenever you make a change to the tax system, you are not just changing revenue generation, you are also adopting a political position. Are you „hurting frugal savers” by removing their benefits, or „supporting gamblers” by removing their taxes.
> […] nor make areas dangerous for thousands of years in case of accidents.

After ~250 years spent nuclear fuel is only dangerous if you (a) eat it, or (b) grind it up and snort it like cocaine.

The long-lived stuff throws off mostly alpha particles (blocked by a sheet of paper) or beta particles (thin aluminium). The first few years (6-10) of spent fuel throws off the riskiest particles (gamma), and so the fuel sits in cooling pools for that period.

It’s not a solved problem. This is a hyperbole less accurate than saying vehicle emissions are a solved problem because EV’s exist. Seaweed is not a widespread additive in cattle feed and global production of seaweed would need to drastically increase to handle demand. There is also a plethora of other factors to consider with the increased farming of seaweed and the dietary changes that make adding seaweed to a cows diet anything but a “solved problem”

The specialized chips may very well become commoditized over time. It is the way things go if the market is large and competitive enough - and that there is sufficient competitive advantage over the existing types of devices (GPUs in this case). For a rather recent example, see Bitcoin mining ASICs.

Of course GPUs (and CPUs, and pre-transformer/LLM type NPU/TPUs) are also going to respond to better suit LLM workloads. So we may see a convergence in capabilities.

What is for sure is that the LLM chip architecture is not yet settled. Currently available chips are mostly designed pre LLM craze, with slight adaptations. And have large areas of potential improvement, at least 10-100x (maybe 1000x) in power efficiency. And power efficiency is a key element (in addition to up from hardware investment). Which is the opportunity this startup (and others) have identified.
While the terms can change over time, my understanding in ME circles is that "engine" is usually referring something that converts a source of energy into a force. So in this case, a device is using chemical energy (LOX + kerosene) into thrush (5kN) so it would meet the definition of an "engine."
It's good to come face-to-face with reality from a reminder that unless you are extremely well adapted to the environment in which you are dwelling, there are usually natural inhabitants who more suitably carry on doing the same things they have been doing before, during, and after your brief visit.

I read an article a long time ago that drew a direct correlation between the need to contain/separate livestock in the American West and the battlefields of World War I.

Basically, as settlers moved westward, they needed to contain their livestock as well as separate sheep and cows. Sheep apparently eat grass down to the ground whereas cows don't, thus sheep would deprive cows of food.

So, barbed wire was developed for this purpose and the military saw the utility of it as well. Fast-forward to WWI and the vast battlefields there and needing an inexpensive way to slow enemy advances on foot. This led to the development of tanks to overcome the barbed wire obstacles. Machine guns also became more useful as a way to spray large areas when attacking troops were held up by the obstacles.

You can think of it as similar to a human taking a cheap charcoal tablet with their food to reduce flatulance. They will not take such a tablet until they are aware they have gastritis. When enough pressure is applied the solution will be implemented.

Only a small part of the animals feed needs to be seaweed and thankfully it is one of the easiest and fastest growing organisms on the planet. So it’s extremely cheap for the industry to adopt the solution when compared to facing losses related to carbon taxes and loss of market share.

As a follow-up, I used the Polycam app and an iPhone 15 without tripod to capture the majority of imagery in the tour. You can see the iPhone Lidar capture as dollhouse matched with insta360 photos for the virtual tour. The museum photogrammetry was also completed with Polycam.

I aligned the 360 images with Metashape, exported the cameras.xml file with camera transforms/rotations, and converted these to my own json format with a simple 360 virtual tour viewer that I created w/Three.js.

For navigating between tour points, to try to approximate a similar motion affect as Matterport and Google Streetview, I somewhat unsuccessfully project the output of a cubecamera as a rendertexture on the dollhouse lidar of the tomb. I'm not happy with its current state but had to keep moving forward, and I appreciate much more the engineering that went into Matterport's Showcase frontend especially.

We may not have a lot to discuss if your idea of safety is everyone having loaded guns pointed at each other. To me that is an extremely precarious position especially if we have accepted as wisdom that violence, maybe even preemptive violence, might be necessary. Is indefinite cold war really our highest aspiration?

I'm trying to suggest that human beings engage in all sorts of destructive behaviors, including warfare, because of the way we think about the world. We compartmentalize violence, pollution, etc, advocate for the security of our nation-state at the expense of others, and ignore the "externalities", i.e. the simple fact that everything is connected. This tendency perpetuates the very cycles of conflict that most people feel like we could do without.

And yet somehow it's easier to see that you've gone too far east and to go west instead, or vice versa. But for non-trivial matters it seems people want a fixed action pattern to which to cling ("never use force" or "be ready to shoot first") and get confused by comments such as mine which aren't advocating any fixed strategy because the fixed strategies are what got us in this mess.
