Have to disagree. Almost all researchers have essentially unfettered access to all of biomedical literature. Access to papers is therefore a tertiary annoyance wrt progress in science and the cures for cancers.

What IS a huge problem is the almost complete lack of systematically acquired quantitative data on human health (and diseases) for a very large number (1 million subjects) of diverse humans WITH multiple deep-tissue biopsies (yes, essentially impossible) that srr suitable for multiomics at many ages/stages and across many environments. (Note, we can do this using mice.)

Some specific examples/questions to drive this point home: What is the largest study of mRNA expression in humans? ANSWER: The small but very expensive NUH GTEx study (n max of about 1000 Americans). This study acquired postmortem biopsies for just over 50 tissues. And what is the largest study of protein expression in humans across tissues? Oh sorry, this has never been done although we know proteins are the work-horses of life. What about lipids, metabolites, metagenomics, epigenomics? Sorry again, there is no systematically acquired data at all.

What we have instead is a very large cottage-industry of lab-level studies that are structurally incoherent.

Some brag about the massive biomedical data we have, but it is truly a ghost and most real data evaporates with a few years.

Here is my rant on fundamental data design flaws and fundamental data integration flaws in biomedical research:

> You come off as combative when you dismiss valid, innocent questions as being "entitled" or attributing insinuations to GP that simply aren't there.

We've been over this. I disagree that there isn't insinuations or isn't entitlement in GP. It's okay to disagree.

> What good would that do? Would that enable the forker to voice their complaints about the original OpenSSH that's used by literally everyone else without people like you chiming in?

This can do a lot of good. This a solution to the problem that you have. If others agree with your critique and approach (which is likely), then they also will appreciate your project. This is how projects like Neovim started, and arguably why Neovim has been as successful as it is.

> By the by, is it at all relevant that OpenSSH development is funded by at least 1 non-profit and probably other sources as well? They're not volunteers.

I was under the impression that it was largely volunteer work, or at least, severely underpaid development which is pretty normal in the open source world. I will take your word on this one, I don't have the time to go look at non-profit financials.

> And even if they were volunteers, users are quite within their rights to voice concerns and criticisms about software in a constructive manner.

100% agree, the keywords being "constructive manner." Higher effort than nitpicking a commit and asking broad questions.
Where are you getting your data?

For instance, I’m showing about 2.6 MWh/ye per capita for Turkmenistan [https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/EG.USE.ELEC.KH.PC?locat...], below the world median of 3.1MWh/yr.

Also, those high usage small countries (including Trinidad and Turkmenistan) are huge oil producing countries where energy is subsidized to an absurd degree to ‘buy’ population compliance. That energy is coming straight from burning hydrocarbons.

They still are way below the big developed countries, near as I can tell. Sorting by ‘most recent value’, the list is pretty much either ‘huge petrokingdom’, or ‘highly developed nation’ until Estonia/Slovenia/Netherlands at 6.something MWh/yr.

The data does seem to be old though!

I am impressed by Spain’s low usage, but they culturally also minimize things like HVAC - since they were ‘civilized’ long before AC was a thing. They still are about 2x the median.
It’s like how we still specify power plants in ‘thousands of megawatts’ instead of gigawatts, I assume because of the back to the future reference

Disclaimer: I'm an active developer of BOLT.

It takes BOLT less than 10 second to optimize the Linux kernel once the profile is collected. There's no need for a distributed build system to take advantage of that. Overall, we have improved both processing time and memory consumption over the years.
Based on how well the System Preferences → Settings rewrite went: please don't.
Main problem is still just getting good quantitative data and metadata. Most biomedical researchers are motivated to “tell stories”. Few of us care about generating huge mineable data sets.
No, people have the correct intuition that human errors at human speeds are very different in nature from human rate errors at machine speeds.

It's one thing if a human makes a wrong financial decision or a wrong driving decision, it's another thing if a model distributed to ten million computers in the world makes that decision five million times in one second before you can notice it's happening.

It's why if your coworker makes a weird noise you ask what's wrong, if the industrial furnace you stand next to makes a weird noise you take a few steps back.

I will admit that there is some level of joy in finding previously unnoticed angle or joke on re-read. Every few years or so I find one such gem in Pratchett's books. It does make me smile. I don't think I can emjoy Infinite Jest or Ulysses that way.

For non-fiction, I will admit that it is hard for me to take that advice. I am currently going through a historical analysis book, which in itself covers a complicated topic and references tons of source materials, which now I feel almost obligated to add to my reading list. And for harder subjects, it feels like I get lost on the foundational materials if I don't take notes.

> Not to mention that it's an obnoxious and incompetent design. Look at the fact that Mac OS litters every other computer it visits with turds, for its own (and in fact only one user's) benefit. It's doubly stupid because the next browsing Mac that comes along trounces the previous one's turd.

It also kind of reveals an underlying attitude of the OS developers: That it's OK to use the user's filesystem (particularly directories owned by the user as opposed to the OS) as their dumping ground for all this metadata. As if it's their hard drive rather than mine.

I'm OK with Apple putting whatever it wants in /System and /Library, but I'd expect the rest of my filesystem to contain only files I put there.

Same goes for you, Microsoft: You can have C:/WINDOWS and I should get the rest of the filesystem.
For what it's worth, I think you're probably doing more harm than good to the open source movement. Reconsider your approach, or focus it on the users who are actually acting entitled.

Amazon has a some AI chips they created themselves. Same with Tesla. They are both behind Nvidia and probably won’t catch up BUT raw performance isn’t always the most important part. Often it’s the cost per compute unit and companies are quickly getting close to Nvidia.
>constantly squashing and rebasing is not a feature but an annoyance

it is a feature which allows, for example, to work simultaneously on several releases, patches, hot fixes, etc. Once better alternative emerges we'll jump the git ship as we did before when we jumped onto the git ship.

>the repository separate from the data

that was a feature of a bunch of source controls and a reason among others why they lost to git.

>it forces you to

that is another reason why source controls lose to git as git isn't forcing some narrow way of doing things upon you.

I don't deny of course that for some people/teams/projects other source controls work better as you comment illustrates. I'm just saying why git won and keeps the majority of situations.

Much better if they use a proton beam, and combine it with similarly split electron beams. Then, collect the resulting hydrogen in two bottles and measure the resulting mass. Boom, quantum gravity.

The difference is that with a chat interface you can ask it questions, you can brainstorm with it, you can drill down into specific concepts and you can do it any language/framework, without waiting for a tutorial to be written for it. And it would help you do the "homework" at the end.

For the tutorial you linked to, there's a lot of prior knowledge assumed, which the author alludes to in the summary, which a chat interface would help with:

Make sure your fasting glucose and HbA1c are normal, not prediabetic. Avoid eating or drinking anything with added sugar.

Also, avoid any supplement for now that strong raises testosterone and its resulting conversion to dihydrotestosterone.

Open Source CLI Tool to Generate Code for Nvidia Triton Deployment
Triton Co-Pilot: A quick way to write glue code to make deploying with NVIDIA Triton Inference Server easier. It's a cool CLI tool that we created as part of an internal team hackathon.

Earlier, deploying a model to Triton was very tough. You had to navigate through the documentation for the Python backend, figure out how to get your inputs and outputs right, write a bunch of glue code, create a config.pbtxt file with all the correct parameters, and then package everything up. It could easily take a couple of hours.

But with Triton Co-Pilot, all that hassle is gone. Now, you just write your model logic, run a command, and Triton Co-Pilot does the rest. It automatically generates everything you need, uses AI models to configure inputs and outputs, and handles all the tedious parts. You get your Docker container ready to go in seconds.

Check out our GitHub repository and see how much easier deploying to Triton can be! It would be great if you folks try it out and see if it works for you.

Up until 7, and even afterward in some areas, Windows got things right from an interface standpoint. People seem to forgot that Microsoft dumped large amounts of time and money into figuring out how people use computers and developed their desktop environment accordingly. I've used Windows, macOS, and more Linux DEs than I care to admit. The only thing that tops the Windows DE is KDE, which isn't a massive departure from Windows. macOS has legacy as an excuse, but I don't know what can be said about the various Linux DEs that don't Work Right for the sake of spiting ideas that do.

Windows 11 has pretty severely fucked up Explorer. Named directories can't have their path copied (I think 10 did this bullshit, too).
