Producers should be required to make disclosures in officially recognized boards/gazettes before substantially changing quality/composition/recipe/materials/function of any good. Make it 3 to 6 months. A consumer should not be screwed for buying an inferior product for the same price because a producer decided to reduce quality to increase margins. It's a form of information asymmetry that leads to inefficiency in markets.

This works even more easily if the product already needs to be registered in some gov't registry. For example books and with the case of substituting good quality paper with worse quality paper (less gsm or such).

The Western (American, especially) approach to early infant care is mind-boggling. In many cultures and nations, often those less "developed", parents suffer little sleep deprivation.

Westerners will pay small fortunes for a cloud subscription bassinet but can't create the basics of a functioning community.

Pretty sure they took her for 5 mil. She deposited 4.6 on her own accord and the app fabricated growth and then asked for another 500k, which she again handed over.
Visual Dominance Ratio
Right but the comment you are replying to is making the argument that the same functionality, and the same increase in sleep, can be had for a fraction of the cost.
There's nothing especially wrong with small libraries if you carefully manage them and don't allow for supply chain attacks. I don't think updates are a serious concern compared to not using a library, because your own code could easily have vulnerabilities too. It is harder to update lots of small libraries versus one big library, but you pick your battle.
Not sure - I’ve seen both used and assumed they were interchangeable. Is there a more general case of a bayer array?

It’s probably more. Pretty conservatively, if the KV embedding dimension for each token is ~10K x 100 attention layers (this is roughly the scale of Llama3.1 405B) that’s already 1M 16-bit floats per token = 2MB. They have likely needed to implement some kind of KV compression (like DeepSeek) to make this even feasible.
What an experience! Can I ask your role in visiting?
awesome work! I have been trying to build something similar and originally built a basic prototype in pure JS and then converted to a react library but it became apparent that due to the extra performance cycles that it needs to be rewritten into wasm for the performance I want. I had a similar idea, community driven content and interchangeable packages for games and protocol specs around a common format that allows for scripting and assets to be simply loaded and changed much like a cartridge. glad to see others working on a similar idea! good luck!
Yeah and Finish devs also make a small fraction of what's possible in America
They and their partners (Boeing) are running more tests as we speak - probably expecting more data that could answer some questions.
can you please explain how these meetings got so out of hand? did you attend them? did you decline eventually? why, why not? how does it work? who was your actual boss? is there some kind of resource management? (ie. where your time is allocated?)

thanks in advance!

(I never worked at any FAANG thing, and I never worked for a US company, so this is extremely... interesting and strange.... because I am no stranger to long nights, had the occasional death march, some kind of startup momentum and expectations here or there, small teams and overtime, deadlines, but .. also headcount was less than 20 for us)
Do I understand correctly from this thread that there's still no good one reliable way to send files across networks where both participants are NAT'd ?

What about using Onionshare to solve NAT'ing or at least Topr for handshaking?
I used to live near Longview TX, and it was fairly well known that people living near Eastman Chemical got cancer at higher rates. The issue is TX politicians just don't care. Which if you think if it, is really sadistic. To have a big company that is factually poisoning your population, but no one does anything about it.

Almost like they are bribed by Eastman.
Makes sense, I’d guess most used Snoos probably get resold many times.
Agreed. I use to switch on and off between vim, neovim and VS Code vim-keybindings until I found AstroVim. When I use AstroVim, I can modify what little I need to knowing the base and foundation is taken care of and I can focus on what matters.
The fate of journals wax and wane, and for me the apex of el Reg was in the era of Andrew Orlowski and (RIP) Lester Haines (they overlapped). Orlowski knows his computing history and writes really well. Haines wrote not just knowledgeably but with a carefree humour that made you feel like he was smiling with you as you read his work. His loss was a real blow.

I still read it regularly, but some of the spirit has gone. But you never know -- someone new could show up and revive that joi deivivre je ne sais quoi. Haines definitely did that when he joined.

"like the snoo" appears to be the sticking point. What specific features do you think that A) are important for helping a baby sleep and B) are only found on the snoo?

I've never used the snoo or any other self-rocking bassinet (luckily my daughter is a decently good sleeper on her own), but this product [0] certainly looks like it's pretty similar for a fraction of the price, and it's even from a known brand.

What innovation is expected to make this possible? The minimum amounts of fuel and oxygen necessary to leave the atmosphere are fixed, short of a chemistry breakthrough.
That's the thing, though. As far as I can tell, per the Steering Council's and PSF's reasoning, they did exactly that. There's a separate Steering Council, CoC Work Group, and PSF Board of Directors for a reason - and also a separate team of moderators for the Discourse forum.

Never mind that pairs of these groups may have multiple members in common and that they may act upon each others' "recommendations". Never mind that Mr. Peters is also suspended from the forum for the same period (which is nominally a completely separate action) and there was no separate announcement of this.

Aside from that, keep in mind that one of the supposed charges is "defending reverse racism/sexism" - by which they don't mean defending the act of engaging in racism against white people or sexism against men, but rather defending the use of those concepts. Never mind that Mr. Peters didn't write those terms; the closest he got to the subject was to point out that he's been in environments where e.g. the idea of racism against white people is not considered legitimate.

By the way, there is nothing actually written in the Code of Conduct (see https://policies.python.org/python.org/code-of-conduct/ ) which prohibits such a political view. The closest it gets is in the completely separate "enforcement policy" document, which says that claims of having been thus discriminated against should be considered as inherently bad-faith.

In short: the Work Group, on all available evidence, objects to the idea that e.g. discrimination against men occurs and ought to be labelled as sexism; and in fact objects so strongly as to imagine that expressing such an opinion is inherently objectionable. When one party reasons like this, what "unbiased third party" could possibly be deemed acceptable?
I‘d prefer to see a completely new renderer backed by containerized JVM with some DSL for UI as a replacement of modern browsers and application-first encrypted by default binary protocol replacing HTTP (one reference implementation for debugging it would fe fine).

Curious as to moral in the Boeing division right now. If you designed/built/influenced any part of the design and watching this play out publicly. Leaving astronauts stranded and potentially with a module stuck on the space station.

ParadeDB itself is AGPL, yes. Our core offering is pg_search, which offers Elasticsearch inside Postgres. What we build will be AGPL, and if pg_duckdb moves forward we will be happy to rebuild our analytics offering on top of it.
Not a lawyer nor picking sides but I can see an argument where expectation that scams are removed very quickly would greatly reduce the risk profile.

It’s like shopping at a grocery store thinking that recalled foods are de-shelved within hours of a notice but they actually kept selling them for weeks. Much different risk profile.
Well, they said they would do more modelling. Since they've definitely already done a pile of modelling, the remaining modelling is probably running down a list of alternate assumptions and approaches in whatever modelling system they've been using. Most likely they've already gone ahead modeled out all of their most likely and high confidence assumptions and approaches. Likely the modelling results haven't quite converged, leading them to be unsure.

In parallel, my pet theory is that NASA has probably already made up its mind (astronauts are not going to return on Starliner), and have been dragging this out mostly to make it look like they aren't just going to throw their contractors under the bus (even if they deserve it). Boeing has declared cold feet over fixed cost contracts (in general, not just with NASA), and I think NASA wants to keep the rest of the contractor pool at least at ease that, okay maybe NASA might start being stingier with the money and contracts, but they aren't going just throw you under the bus when issues appear.
Aside from that, the main advantage of this is transactions. I can do:

begin;
insert_row();
schedule_job_for_elasticsearch();
commit;

And it's guaranteed that both the row and job for Elasticsearch update are inserted.

If you use a dedicated queue system them this becomes a lot more tricky:

begin;
insert_row();
schedule_job_for_elasticsearch();
commit; // Can fail, and then we have a ES job but no SQL row.

begin;
insert_row();
commit;
schedule_job_for_elasticsearch(); // Can fail, and then we have a SQL row and no job.

There are of course also situations where this doesn't apply, but this "insert row(s) in SQL and then queue job to do more with that" is a fairly common use case for queues, and in those cases this is a great choice.
You certainly can't snitch, we saw what happened with that one guy who tried it.

I'm even more curious about the astronauts. Are they willing to risk it? Are they even part of the discussions? Are they saying "screw that thing, get me a dragon"? I haven't heard a single word about their take on it.
My understanding was that a thread is only eligible to be scheduled in a single processor group at any given time, and that windows will not change the group. Is that wrong?

Clean fuel is foolish until we're no longer burning hydrocarbons for electricity.

Even at that point it will probably be foolish because the demand for oil will then be so low that the few niche machines that use it will have a miniscule impact on the environment.
the whole point of the people bearing arms, is to enable the people to regulate the activities of a militia directed by a tyrant, example being rebellion against the occupying redcoats, the commision of the war of independance, and succesion of the republic.
I do not understand your first paragraph. It's more expensive than s3 and it's entirely different. It's cheaper than writing on vellum, and faster!

> If you use the Elasticache pricing, which is $0.125/gb per hour, it's still eight times more expensive. So even if a million tokens is a full gigabyte of data

Is it a gigabyte of data and is it fast enough?

You've guessed 4mb and 1gb. What's the actual data size here? What speed do you need to get it into the GPU ram?

The entire point here is to lower latency and costs so it has to be close and fast.

Guessing at sizes isn't helping anything here.
I think you took my comments a bit too literally and out of context. I'm not sure why you felt the need to be so uncharitable and mean-spirited, other than because I decided to have my little side-rant in your sub-thread.

> Erm yeah! Why would you not want to consider people's suggestions?

This was in the context of a lack of definitive authority and a flat-hierarchy. People that work with me know I genuinely consider everyone's opinion, and everyone always gets a clean slate with me.
I understand where you are coming from but silly stuff like that is one way to encourage what I am now going to call: "harmless tribalism".

You may not be familiar with the extensive campaign to find a suitable name for Microsoft. The winner was Micros~1. It took quite a lot of discussion and once the winner was declared, most people hated it but it became the standard. That's the nature of proper, decent, discourse. People riffing on all sorts of stuff and basically having a laugh. No one was hurt and a lot of fruitful chat was had.

Perhaps you are not familiar with this: https://www.theregister.com/Design/page/reg-standards-conver... That too was the result of a lot of banter and some quite scientific and mathematical digressions ensued.

el Reg has changed. It is rather more "professional" these days or as we say in the trade "boring". However, it is still there and you never know, vestigil thingies can re-grow. It is certainly more alive than /. but it is bordering on lumbering around with its arms outstretched looking for brainzzzz.

Hi, I'm Terry,
In spare time, I work on an open-source project together with my colleague called "Recordscript". We were interested in exploring Whisper.cpp technology in Rust and built a (hopefully useful) product out of that.

Recordscript is a free, open-source screen recorder + subtitle (now available on Windows). It's built with Tauri, Whisper-rs (Rust port of Whisper.cpp) and Scrap library.

There are two ways you can use Recordscript: 1) You can use it to record all your screen + all audio (mic + system audio) and generate a subtitle/transcript right after Recordscript enables you to send the subtitle result via email SMTP as well. So, you may use this to record your meeting, get the transcript, and send you + your colleague all the transcript.

2) You can generate subtitle from your audio/video files If you already have files you want to transcribe (e.g. video / audio recordings), simply upload your file & Recordscript will generate the subtitle (transcript + timestamp) for you.

Everything's done offline, thanks to Whisper.cpp.

So I read this not expecting to like Zed that much.

I remember initially it was only for Mac, which... is just not good enough for me.

Anyhow, I reinstalled it and it is really good. Github, Copilot were integrated in no time... I really appreciate that and it is very clean and easy to use.

Article brings up the Polgar sisters. Their father wasn't specifically a chess fanatic; he was more interested in the power of education as a whole. Here's their (rather charming) daily schedule:

4 hours of specialist study (for us, chess)

1 hour of a foreign language. Esperanto in the first year, English in the second, and another chosen at will in the third. At the stage of beginning, that is, intensive language instruction, it is necessary to increase the study hours to 3 – in place of the specialist study – for 3 months. In summer, study trips to other countries.

1 hour of general study (native language, natural science and social studies)

1 hour of computing

1 hour of moral, psychological, and pedagogical studies (humour lessons as well, with 20 minutes every hour for joke-telling)

1 hour of gymnastics, freely chosen, which can be accomplished individually or outside of school. The division of study hours can, of course, be treated elastically.

You _could_ pay for Netscape for a brief period of less than a year after initial release. You never _had_ to, and I was a user from some time in 1995, all the way through the Mozilla Application Suite, then later Phoenix / Firefox. I never paid a penny for the privilege.
That's the thing - it's not considered a search. That's how they get away with it. The sniffing has to happen in public (or with a warrant) and is considered in plain smell (same as an officer smelling alcohol on your breath in a car). Then the dog provides probable cause for the real search.

Well, really everything has become heavily criminalized in the 20th century. Especially as things that aren't outright outlawed are regulated to the extreme. Drugs, alcohol, guns, knives, etc. Some things have gotten more open, but virtually everything has gotten more complicated and easy to get tripped up on technicalities.

The fuel need not be 10x as expensive if you mine at the natural sources of hot CO₂. Which are steel-making furnaces, cement-making furnaces, and, well, carbon-burning power plants. All these industries can provide you with plenty of CO₂, reliably, at a zero or negative cost.

This makes the synthesis much more efficient, because you need far less energy and space to capture the CO₂.

Even if all power plants could turn carbon-free, steelmaking and production of cement cannot, they involve CO₂ as a key chemical step. Until 100% of steel is recycled, and concrete is replaced entirely by something else, you will still have stable, rich sources to run your synthesis off of.
Modeling is irrelevant when you don't know the cause of the failures or even have an idea. 5 thrusters failed and 4 came back and apparently they don't know why in either case.

Whether you think Bitcoin is real or not, if she'd actually bought Bitcoin she wouldn't be out $4.6m, just up or down depending on what the market did in the interim, which isn't "went to zero."
