Am reassured others see this sort of thing (even if it ends up being chance).

About six months ago our MFA system, which uses codes between 1 and 100, persistently started to give me codes that were odd numbers in the top half of the range (ie 51 or above). This went on for well over a month (several codes per day) before I saw the pattern cease. The rational side of me felt it was just chance but I had a nagging unease all the same!

Its a logical fallacy to compare a current technological innovation to a past technological revolution. "Bitcoin is like the internet in the 90s", etc.
Any chance of making your code public? I'm thinking of dabbling in aquaponics in the near future, and what you've built sounds almost exactly like what I would end up working on myself.
This is genuinely cool, but, just curious, why not use an ad-blocker like uBlock?
No, you are mistaken. You are still confusing initial embeddings, which are basically computationally free compared to the rest. I explained this in detail in my previous post. The ENTIRE sequence is processed by transformers to generate the first predicted token. Please check the link I provided and click on 'continue' to see a visual representation of how vectors are created from embeddings and how calculations are made. This should clarify what I mean.

I find it amazing this happened.

In the US, when they came out with the "gold" dollars, they did extensive testing to make sure they would work in the machines just like the old SBA Dollars. I think the same was true when they change the design of paper money.

But now in the US, it hardly matters since the machines now take Credit Cards. And people in the US tend to live off those cards.

Did 1.0.0.1 not work? Do people not use the backup resolvers that providers offer? I didn't even know that there was an outage. Cloudflare is much faster than quad9, at least for my connection. Talking like sub 10ms response vs 30+ for other providers.

I use Technitium and legacy DNS on my internal network. I have Technitium setup to use DoH to cloudflare for all the requests it makes. Best of both worlds IMO
>Exactly, I really don't understand the logic of people saying that it will allow to arrest the opposition.

Because politics is about finding facts. It is the process of reconciling different viewpoints.

The winner in politics has won on fact finding, the looser lost.

By definition the opposition are liars in the political conflict.
Is there a large community of plant enthusiasts?
Not for me, but for my wife. She does financial advisor marketing & advertising compliance for a financial broker dealer.

Her rules for validating compliance were stored in a local Google Doc and her advisors are often uneducated & confused about what disclosure rules are applied to what types of marketing.

So I structured and organized the rules on a UI and then built an AI tool that let's her upload any advisor marketing materials to validate it against her ruleset.

It would be rad if I could sell it to her employer as an educational & compliance tool for their advisors, but currently this is just for my wife.

It took 3 days and I built it in Vue + OpenAI api.

> In April, the Bank of Japan said that despite the growth in cashless payments, it expects "the demand for cash, which can be readily used by anyone, anywhere, and at any time," will continue to play a significant role in the economy.

I'm all for carrying cash, but clearly it's not the case that you can use it anywhere at any time, if 80% of the vending machines in the country won't accept these new bills. When and if these machines get replaced, it would make sense for them to accept both cash and cards. If that happens, you'd think it would only accelerate the move away from cash in Japan.
The distinction, or better: the phenomenon I am trying to get at is that people (including genuinely smart people) commonly mix up ~intent and ability / actual behaviour.

For example, consider someone who says "I am moral, because I am a Christian", but then sneaks off and cheats on his wife. Or, consider a physics teacher who says "You can learn physics from me, because I am knowledgeable in physics", but then starts lecturing and the content is incorrect.

So too with "atheists" who believe that simply declaring oneself to be a certain way is adequate to achieve the intent.

Note that atheists (also Scientific Materialist fundamentalists like Sean Carroll or NDT, etc) are just a particularly common (and hilarious, because of the irony + self-confidence) manifestation of this abstract phenomenon, it is common in any ideology, derived from fundamental flaws in how our culture teaches (or not) how to think ("Use logic, evidence, critical thinking, etc"...except no methodology accompanies the motto, people think simply declaring it to be so makes it so).

Or maybe another angle to think of it from: rewind 200 years and consider how Western culture was broadly ok with racism and slavery - that's how we currently are with our cultural norms on thinking.
"Hey Khronos, can we tweak the OpenCL spec to be even more restrictive and higher-level, then rebrand it under our proprietary 'Metal' architecture so we can license it out to our competitors?"

"...no, but you could expand on OpenCL or Vulkan compute if you wanted. There are other spec stakeholders, we can't give you carte-blanche control, Apple."

Those projects are common all over the eastern US at least. Western US made them more squat generally a couple stories, but about as much green space surrounding the property. Not often as many trees but the children play outside and leave bikes and toys across the property.
It is legitimately a totalitarian idea. There is no good it could do which isn't outweighed by the evil it will cause.

Do all these boards use glue to hold the different types of wood together?
I made a small tool that takes a screenshot all 5 minutes and stores it in a password protected zip file, but only if something has changed on screen.

Sometimes I go through the old screenshots and get nostalgic as the oldest are 10 years already.

Goodness that's a lot of energy to generate a liter of water.
The number of clamps you need for the first (long grain) glue ups depends on the number of lineal feet you are gluing up. How are you using the same set of clamps for the ten boards that would suffice for one board? All of the examples I saw are end grain cutting boards. So for the final glue up you need one complete set of clamps for each board. So you are either taking ten times as long to do that glue up or you need 10x clamps.

Side note: what planer are you using that sending work through is quicker than adjusting the height? Every planer I have ever used takes less than 5 seconds to adjust the height.

Fear of missing out on the AI train and what I'm doing about it
To me, this is the most important point and what AMD is missing out from their current strategy. I can take an off the shelf, easy to get 4070 or 4080 and use it with CUDA to learn.

AMD's strategy for people wanting to learn, is basically no strategy.

It's always been the software holding them back, still is, need to invest in the ecosystem and not just the things easy to justify as a revenue driver.

Ha, MS has Recall which is like this ... but obviously it's had problems.
Depends.

I have written a lot of software, but each one is done as a full-fat production library (most are SPM modules). They are of top-shelf Quality, and fully open to all.

I'm my best (and only) customer, for most (if not all) of them.

That's actually fine, with me. Publishing them, the way that I do, ensures they are "fugheddaboudit" quality, so I don't have to be worrying about my dependencies, and I reuse them, in lots of shipping stuff.

You can find links to all of them, in a couple of the orgs I manage on GH: https://github.com/ChrisMarshallNY#here-on-github

Love the article! My team at nvidia recently released a GPU accelerated version of the fuzzy deduplication algorithm described, and I figure this community might be interested.

And a Python example: https://github.com/NVIDIA/NeMo-Curator/blob/main/examples/fu...

Would be interested in any feedback from the folks here.

There's still a huge consulting market for this kind of work.

You just have to target the right market segments. Large enterprise firms either have in-house teams or contracts with big enterprise-scale providers, so don't do this a lot, and tiny mom-and-pops tend to use off-the-shelf SaaS, and don't have the budget or internal skillset to manage these kinds of projects.

But there are many medium-scale businesses that are structured enough to have specialized use cases that the off-the-shelf stuff isn't optimized for, and which have enough cash to invest in custom solutions.

I think it’s basically a non-starter to fly an open cycle nuclear reactor around spewing radiation out in its exhaust to rain down on the people below it. Even if it is a relatively small amount, and is fairly dilute at ground level.
Thanks! uBlock works great when I’m on the PC, but not so great on my iPhone unfortunately. I’ve tried running Pihole and AdGuard servers too, but they don’t do well against YouTube ads. The small additional benefit of having my own UI is that I’m not distracted by channels that I’m not subscribed to, and just presented with a chronological list of videos from the channels I want to follow.

I built fake iOS for my baby. Recreated most of the apps, phone, music, videos, notes, wallet, maps, etc.. but simple versions with giant icons. Also added a ton of 'soundboards' which are their own apps for things like animals, food, family, home. I have like 20+ apps in there now.

Getting 184c out of a typical car engine won't be easy. You might use exhaust gas but that would be difficult to regulate and seems wasteful. But if you have a car engine then you have a fuel source. Getting 184c out of a gasoline flame is dead simple.

I wrote a script that looks at C++ files, figures out the dependencies (by looking at what headers they include) and automatically compiles and links out of date files. It makes programming in C++ sort of like programming in a modern language like Go. It took me a couple of days to implement and I use it any time I am working on my own C++ projects. I eventually want to add package management features to allow integration with external libraries, but this isn't a priority for me currently.

I have also worked on trading algorithms that used publicly available info about crypto order books to make profitable trades, which will obviously not be published since then they would stop working.
NATO was never, ever, ever going to start a land war against Russia.

The idea that it would have even the slightest interest in doing so is just absolutely fucking absurd.

It's just pure scare imagery that the Russian deep state puts out -- to feed its internal narratives ("The West out to encircle us, only the Russian state can protect you"), and to confuse and mollify external opposition to its blatantly aggressive actions against neighboring states.
Author here. This post is from a few weeks ago but what I'm realizing is that I do pretty well taking in new information like a firehose and then letting it marinate for a while so it can solidify and connect to other ideas I see in the wild.

I’m surprised there were no snarky comments about:

> So, here’s the glue between list-initialization and aggregate initialization: if list-initialization is performed on an aggregate, aggregate initialization is performed unless the list has only one argument, of type T or of type derived from T, in which case it performs direct-initialization (or copy-initialization).

The word “unless” is even bold.

We have fancy syntax:

T t{v0};

And we also have:

T t{v0, v1};

And so on. But the one-element case does not reliably work like the 2+-element case. And this is in a language that increasingly works toward making it straightforward to create a struct from a parameter pack and has support for variable length array-ish things that one can initialize like this. And the types can, of course, be templated.

So you can write your own constructors, and you can initialize a tuple or array with only one element supplied, and you might trip over the wrong constructor being invoked in special cases.

I remember discovering this when C++11 initializer lists were brand new and thinking it was nuts.
Could you use long strips as the individual pieces and soak each strip in stain for a progressively longer amount of time to create a gradient effect in the final product?
Its not the feasibility of reading previously erased data.

The much more simple issue, is that drives that have not been erased look exactly like drives that have been erased. Does the drive contain data? Who knows until you hook it up to a computer.

Meanwhile It's very easy to distinguish a drive that has been crushed and can be e-wasted, from a drive that has not been crushed, and can't be e-wasted.

These companies, yes. But new startups will come, spend only millions, and achieve the same thing. No moat.
there is a completely passive device capable of deriving water from the air in a desert, without any electrical inputs, in the demo I saw. It is based on molecular-level action in engineered tube materials.. like a honeycomb but with chemical properties at a very small size, repeated in long stretches like cloth.
What humidity levels do the conventional passive systems work at?

In regions where there’s excess solar energy and insufficient humidity, the tradeoff seems maybe worth it?

Excess solar energy brings to mind stuff like putting it through solar panels, which can be limiting. But if we just need to convert photons to phonons, no need to stop by in electron-vill, a big dumb array of mirrors could do it, right?

Since the introduction of Opteron at the beginning of 2003 until the introduction of Core 2 at the middle of 2006, the AMD CPUs were vastly superior to any kind of Pentium 4, not only to Pentium D.

This was much more obvious in servers or workstations than in consumer devices, because the kinds of applications run by non-professionals at that time were much more sensitive to the high burst speeds offered by Pentium 4 with very high clock frequencies, than to the higher sustained performance of the AMD CPUs.

In 2005, I had both a 3.2 GHz Pentium 4 (Northwood, 130 nm) and a 3.0 GHz Pentium D (Prescott, 90 nm). With any of them, the compilation from sources of a complete Linux distribution took almost 3 days of continuous work of 24 hours per day.

After I bought an Athlon X2 of only 2.2 GHz, the time for performing the same task has been reduced to much less than a day. Even for some single-threaded tasks, but which contained many operations that were inefficient on Pentium 4, like integer multiplications or certain kinds of floating-point operations, the 2.2 GHz AMD CPU was several times faster than the 3.2 GHz Pentium 4.

At work, the domination of the AMD CPUs was even greater. Each server with Opteron CPUs that we bought was faster than several big racks with Sun or Fujitsu servers that were used before. Intel did not have anything remotely competitive. At the beginning of 2006, on my laptop with an AMD Turion I could run professional EDA/CAD programs much faster than on the big Sun servers normally used for such tasks. Intel had nothing like that (i.e. the 32-bit Intel CPUs could not use enough memory to even run such programs, so the question whether they could have run such programs fast enough was irrelevant).

Of course, half of year later the competition between Intel and AMD looked completely different.
There are many tiny scripts I use at work to manage things. Mostly bookkeeping stuff like utilities to manage Jira, scripts that create text files as per a predefined template for meetings etc.

I'm the only one who uses it because these are tailored for my own specific use case, but if anybody from work asks I'm willing to share.

If I knew how to use Emacs, then maybe I wouldn't have needed some of these scripts.

I have a huge list of movies I want to watch or have watched, and I like keeping track of those.

For the longest time I used Google Keep, but that couldn't keep track of dates when I added to the list or watched something off the list. And I liked my list to be sorted alphabetically and have it show the counts of watched and total etc.

Tonnes of apps and websites already do this. Or I could have probably built a spreadsheet file that does this. But I felt like rolling my own.

I built a simple webapp using Laravel and a little bit of Bootstrap to make the site look decent. Did it in one day during the less than a week of gap between resigning one job and joining another. Building it was therapeutic. I even bought a domain and hosted it on a DigitalOcean droplet. It's been up for over two years now.

There's nothing fancy about it. It really is just a glorified todo list. But I like the simplicity of it and I've been using it to keep track of movies to watch over the past two years.

I never had any intention of trying to promote it or anything. Initially I planned to share it with a few friends, but then I didn't. No reason.

So it's just out there in the web. In broad daylight. Anybody can sign up for it. Nobody has. Nobody knows. Hidden in plain sight. Just like me ;)
Problem is that machines are used to run businesses like ordering at a mom and pop restaurants, and replacement is around $19k.

Odds are that rather than replacing the machines, society will make sure to hold on to the old money longer and the new bills will be not accepted by people.
