Actually, given that models are trained on data generated by humans, the ideal way to get decent responses are by treating them as such. Many times when I'm aware that a model gave an incorrect response, or I'm not sure and skeptical, a simple "Are you sure" or "Explain your answer" does wonders.

I just live here, I didn't grow up here, so I can't tell you much about how kids are trained here. I've never heard of any drills for adults. Also I had never heard of tornadoes here either (though again, I've only lived here a few years), but earthquakes and typhoons are pretty common. Your Wikipedia list is news to me, but looking it over, it seems they're uncommon and relatively minor in size, and greatly overshadowed by the earthquakes and typhoons and tsunami.

That said, it is very common and normal for people to keep emergency backpacks that they can grab and take to shelters if there's an evacuation. I have one in the closet next to my front door. The government also periodically gives out free emergency supplies for people to keep. There's publicized evacuation plans and routes, and places seem like they're prepared for big storms: subway stations for instance have huge doors at the entrances to protect against flooding.

I was being dense. Thanks for pointing that out.

You're telling a story with the facts, and the conclusions you draw from that story are not necessarily facts. The medical establishment of a particular area often acts as though they are medicine, medical treatment, and that people distrusting them means they distrust medicine – when really, all it might mean is (say) that a group of people willing to run the Tuskegee Syphilis Study give off bad vibes.

> Even if every single imaginable bias, prejudice, and everything else were 100% true, it would not make what they did right.

Yes. Their claimed reasons transparently do not justify their actions; so either they had a weird moral system, or those were post-hoc justifications of a decision they'd already made. However, their stated reasons do reveal that they were racist, and racists often come up with post-hoc justifications for racially-motivated atrocities.

I agree with your last paragraph, in that racism isn't the only moral failure mode that humans exhibit – not the only trap we need to watch out for, lest we stumble –; but I think you're making a mistake in assuming that behaviour is either racist or something else. We can analyse it in many ways, and learn many lessons. (There's an extent to which we're really studying ourselves when we do that… but I digress.) There is no "the real value in the story".
I don't necessarily share this impression, but the teams that simply close items after being unable to sufficiently develop a solution, leading to the original issue raiser giving up after realizing that those who are supporting the issues are useless, are not helping with the public's impression of azure.
Gemma 27b? Command R (32b) would be ideal middle grounds but won’t fit in a 16gb card. There are a handful of 12gb like the new mistral though. I doubt that 12b overs much improvement over a 7b to compare to 70b. Seems like an entirely different class.

You probably want to limit yourself if you do have a 16gb card because you still need to fit the context window in memory too.

If they're going to change their name, they will of course need to abandon the old trademarks.

Anyone claiming their old trademarks for new, will have the same problem of appropriating an indigenous name, and also the issue of approrpriating an abandoned name. Trademark law allows it, but it's not a good look for the newcomer.

For the domain, I would imagine a very long transition. There's a reason the current owner of asf.org still maintains that despite changing their organizational name away in 2010. If ASF starts using a new name and domain name today, I'd expect it takes about 3 years for everything to be fully moved, but old links will need to continue to work for some time after that. Some sort of annual review with a usage threshold would be appropriate... if there's negligable requests to http(s)://httpd.apache.org by 2034, you can remove the A/AAAA records. And a year or two or five, after there are no longer any DNS records for apache.org, it can be transitioned to another organization. Perhaps a transition can be arranged sooner if shared usage can be agreed upon; the new owner could use www while deprecated names continue to redirect.
> The value prop used to be "talk to other nerds around the world" but the internet does it better and easier now.

That's funny because it makes intuitive sense, but I'd argue the opposite.

As the internet has become more accessible and the world of HAM has remained fairly obscure (with some financial barrier to entry and government KYC sometimes), you're far more likely to encounter interesting and enthusiastic fellow nerds with HAM if you get into it.

Not only are they closed on Sundays but they're "Sold out for the day?"

I think this is all a little pretentious. They could have a larger team to handle the influx of orders from over the weekend or overnight and make sure stickers don't sell out. Having a larger group of employees doesn't automatically reduce quality or make the work harder for those employees.

If they want to show that they are engaged in a better form of capitalism I think it should be more about employee ownership and profit sharing rather than closing an online business at the inconvenience of customers. Because all that proves is that their version of capitalism has major downsides compared to the inferior form of capitalism.

(I will point out that their messages about being closed on Sundays and their explanation for why they're sold out for the day predate the current StickerMule fiasco, so obviously this happens a lot.)
I hesitate to recommend getting a PhD as a general recommendation for all researchers, but I will say that I learned so much during my own PhD that I would never have learned otherwise. One problem with self-directed learning is that you tend to focus on areas that interest you directly or immediately. Doing a PhD exposed me to many topics that I was completely unaware of and basically forced me to learn much more broadly than I would have otherwise done in a self-directed manner.

IMO this is where a comprehensive System Design interview weeds out the hopeless. Minimum 2 hours, don't just use a "design facebook/twitter/insta" scenario because anyone can memorise those, dig into the weeds as and when it feels appropriate, and keep the candidate talking through trade offs, thought process etc so you can really peak inside their head. The catch is that you also need to be very competent and know the design and all permutations of it inside and out.

Leetcode et al. are just testing rote memory, there's no need to have candidates actually type out solutions its a waste of time. So long as they can articulate what solution they would use, why, and what other solutions they considered that's all you really need to be concerned with.

> classic reboot utility and systemd are the same thing just because modern Linux distros symlink the reboot command to systemctl

You are acknowledging my point - in this case they ARE the same thing. If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and walks like a duck - it's a duck. This is like arguing symlinks are wrong and instead of `python` you must use `python3.12` even though they are ultimately identical. Read the man page for `scp` and read the man page for `sftp` and seriously tell me why I should use one over the other.

Who is using a pre-2022 distro reading this comment? And I have been using scp (with SSH, SFTP) for a lot longer than since 2022. Like over a decade.

I kinda wish HN had a rule against submissions to sites with login walls related to news, articles, etc. Basically, content sites. It's constant these days and the only way to read the articles is via archival sites like this.

My guess is the sites don't benefit from the traffic being directed to them. The signup rate for this strategy is in the single digit percentage at most. Meanwhile, at least if you're like me, the user just immediately navigated back to HN. Out time is wasted and the "front page" of HN is being somewhat diluted by unreadable content.
another article notes from the official memo to employees: https://sfstandard.com/2024/07/17/salesforce-pressures-its-w...

> Select employees in sales, workplace services, data center engineering and onsite support technicians under the chief information officer will be required to come to the office four to five days a week, effective Oct. 1.

> All other departments – including marketing, legal and product teams – will be designated “office-flex” — meaning they must come in at least three days a week. The company’s other engineering roles are also in this bucket, although they will be required to come in only at least 10 days each quarter.

> Unless working from a client site, the ability to be fully remote will be granted only on an exemption basis, the new guidelines say.

> Per the memo, sent out last week, the guidelines are meant to “better clarify our in-person expectations.” To bolster in-person attendance, Salesforce will also roll out an internal dashboard to track data from employee badge scans (in the U.S. only), starting next month.

> The company stated that employees will have “full visibility” of this data, which will measure attendance against quarterly goals set by each team. Notably, the dashboard will also track the average amount of voluntary time off employees take, which is time they can use for community service efforts.
No, normal monitors use additive color mixing, but dithering isn't additive, it's averaging. With just red, green, blue, black you couldn't dither cyan, magenta, yellow, white, just some much darker versions of them. E.g. you get grey instead of white.

You can check this by trying to dither a full color image in a program like Photoshop. It doesn't work unless you use at least the 8 colors.

In fact, ink jet printers do something similar: They use subtractive color mixing to create red, green and blue dots (in addition to cyan, magenta, yellow and black ink and white paper), then all the remaining shades are dithered from those eight colors. It looks something like that: https://as2.ftcdn.net/v2/jpg/01/88/80/47/1000_F_188804787_u1... (though there black is also created with subtractive color mixing).

The color mixing type used by dithering is sometimes called "color blending". Apart from dithering it's also used when simulating partial transparency (alpha).
Just renewed my license for the first time. That means I've had it 10 years. Problems for me:

It's either really hard or really expensive to do basic stuff. Want to get on a repeater and chat? Great, a $20 baofeng radio can do it, but you have to get on the Internet to find the repeater frequency, offset, and tones, and then figure out how to program those into the radio. That either involves tedious button pushing on the radio, or getting a special cable, getting Chirp figured out and working with your laptop and radio and cable, and then figuring out the weird Chirp UI. You finally do all that, and then realize (as others have pointed out) that the conversations on the repeaters are lame.

And then the radio is portable, but you can't charge it with a USB cable like everything else, or put in regular AA batteries. You take it camping and it dies after a day.

Again, this is the most basic ham radio thing to do, lowest level of license required. It's not fun hacking, it's just annoying and discouraging.

The alternative radios to baofeng are literally 10 times the price or more, and it's not clear to me that they make any of that any easier. Gear for HF (longer range) is a hundred times the price or more. I haven't even wanted to go there.

Why isn't there a handheld radio that runs android and has a USB C data/charging port? Connecting to nearby repeaters based on GPS location could be automatic! You'd have all the young hams talking on the repeaters and things would start happening. That would be a radio that would actually be worth a license and a few hundred dollars

Decades ago, I was in Thailand at a safari park with a coconut cracked open from the refreshment stand, sipping the milk through a plastic straw.

An elephant did something deeply human and thugged that coconut right out of my hand, and into its mouth it went. Those trunks are quick and I, a dumb tourist, was not on guard.

Best thing I could do was pluck the straw from its maw, as that probably would not have been healthy.
This is a terrible misrepresentation of Moldova and the progress it has undergone in the past 20 years. Please look at Moldova’s GDP growth since 2000 compared to the rest of Europe and some BRICS countries https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/national-gdp-constant-usd...

It is as close as you can get to India/Chinas growth without leaving Europe. Chisinau is bustling with activity and full of foreigners chasing entrepreneurial opportunities. The leading Eastern European private equity funds are making hundreds of millions of investments in the country and there appears to be a gold rush in all service oriented areas: IT Consulting, Banking, BPO outsourcing etc.

It is lazy, easy and dishonest to draw a portrait of a derelict country. Diving into the essence of what is actually happening behind the scenes takes a lot more effort. The description of a horse carriage in the center of the capital city is outright false. Chisinau is on par with Kiev, Warsaw, Bucharest, Sofia etc, but bustling with opportunity at every corner.

Like many post Soviet countries, Moldova is incredibly corrupt. Fortunately, it now has a former US federal prosecutor leading anti-corruption efforts. The current president and more than half of the current prime ministers cabinet is made up of Ivy League educated technocrats under 40 yrs of age. It is a very exciting place.

> I feel certain they’ll say humans suck and every animal knows it.

I don't know. Growing up with cattle, they regularly stood free, but then always waited around to let them back into their "concrete cells". They had every chance to escape, but never wanted to. They clearly preferred being there. Same goes for the farm dogs and cats. In fact, the cat population "mysteriously" kept growing without a corresponding number of kittens (in other words, foreign cats would voluntarily find their way into those "concrete cells").

It very well may have been a case of Stockholm syndrome, but regardless of the exact mechanics it is doubtful that they know that to be the case.

i'd love to hear more about this setup!

what kind of rack lets you just jack in 12v batteries with no concern about charge/discharge?

what's the spread of their capacities?

do you group similar capacity batteries together? somehow and charge/discharge them together?

won't nearby large capacity batteries spread/smear their voltage with other batteries on the rail? the smallest batteries will just get obliterated, and the large ones will do the heavy lifting, right?

do you have something that disconnects batteries when their voltage drops too low? and does it charge them too?

if you put every battery on its own charger, and then use a high/low voltage disconnect, maybe this works, to connect random batteries together on a shared rail...

am i overcomplicating this? or is your setup dangerous?

are you assuming everything has the same float voltage, and you never need to actually discharge, and then you never charge either?

as soon as you go off mains/float voltage, and actually use this battery system, some batteries will deplete faster than others since they have less capacity.

are you using it for purely backup purposes only, and not recharging?

The short answer is, it's for an exploit. It involves some slightly less-well-trodden boxes, and adding specially crafted metadata to live-generated videos in real-time, which existing libraries couldn't help me with much (and I did spend some time fighting a few libraries, but couldn't make them do precisely what I wanted).

"Library" is perhaps an overstatement, it does the things I need and not much more.
