And it's odd to see one there, since, from the pronunciation, you'd expect it to be spelled "Wooster".
This bothers me too - I would really prefer not to have to have a phone to interact in society. Phone farms have the technology to solve the problem you have - it's graceless, but it is an answer - essentially reducing things to servo-driven interactions with a phone.
This is very cool! Most of the work I've seen on reducing inference costs has been via things like LoRAX that lets multiple fine-tunes share the same underlying base model.

Do you imagine Outerport being a better fit for OSS model hosts like Replicate, Anyscale, etc. or for companies that are trying to host multiple models themselves?

Your use case mentioned speaks more to the latter, but it seems like the value at scale is with model hosting as a service companies.
Yes, the benefit of a car is it's there when you need it.
But, in cities it comes with the challenge of having to find parking.

So, if you have to wait 5mins for Waymo (as they scale up) vs 10 mins circling around to find a parking spot, which is better?
lol no, that's a sterile self-help blogpost written by some VC.

This is The Mentor's original manifesto: https://phrack.org/issues/7/3.html
This resonates a lot. For years, I would dive in for a week or two, sometimes I would make it to a few months. Lately, I've just been telling myself no, to keep focus on my start up, but it sometimes feels like I'm squandering this spark of energy you described. I absolutely love your approach of doing the planning in that initial burst rather than just getting some part of the idea working in a day or two.

I think those ultra-productive days earlier in my career account for some of the best learning, but now, over a decade into software engineering, focusing on the planning aspect seems much more prudent.
When so many topics find themselves somehow aligning with sociopolitical identity, there is no question that won't go unbegged.
Hard to say. Maybe I'm waiting to see a product come back in stock that's sold out. Or actually a good example is that I buy a handful of products from the Italian store delallo.com -- they have sales on weird categories and I don't read the emails but certain things I want to stock up on when they go on sale.
I recently launched a audio only forum and would love some feedback
You can start a "thread" with a at most 10 second audio clip or you can reply to another user. User authentication is done with OAuth. I built it with nextjs and typescript, using mongodb with prisma as the database. Vercel takes care of hosting.

I would appreciate general feedback, feature suggestions, user experience remarks and a heads up on potential issues.

God no, I don't want them to delegate the job to any sort of automated process.

> Except that they can't, because they don't have a fact finding apparatus that can accurately determine if a crime is being committed or not.

I want them to hire people who actually do the job and clean up their own mess. They need to perform extensive background checks on any application dealing with finance, which they apparently don't do at all.

If you open their website [1], you're immediately presented with an offer to make over $4000 just by registering. As soon as you click that, they even show you a 5 minute timer to put you under time pressure. This is extremely low hanging fruit in the world of obvious and less obvious scams.

A large part of my job is end user support in a corporate environment. I always do this - even if I know an issue is going to take a while due to me having to reach out to other departments/a vendor, wait for an answer, and potentially go back and forth, I always reach out to let people know I got the email, that I'm working on it, and that I'll reach back out when I know more. If possible, I also suggest workarounds/alternatives for them to use/do in the time while I'm working on the problem.
+1, it’s great PR for the product. I don’t understand what the editors/writers intended with this article, it feels like something out of the onion. Are they intentionally giving good PR that’s worded as if it’s criticism?

https://www.amazon.com/Hedge-Funds-Perspective-Financial-Eng...

Like the first article the last book describes a strategy which has long burned out but if you are making money by quant trading today it's because you discovered a strategy like that which hasn't burned out yet.

Personally when I look at charts I see levels of support and trends (doesn't there have to be someone who thinks that $40 is a bargain and buys heavily when it dips below that?) but the literature doesn't support it. On the other hand I don't believe in the occult but I am still really good at Ouija boards, talking to fox spirits and stuff like that.

I never took "head and shoulders" and other patterns like that seriously.
All such delays should be done uses monotonic clocks. This simplistic solution runs still into problems when you have long delays, especially if the system suspends and/or power cycles. Or if you want the interval to always expire at some wall clock aligned time, such as every half hour on the half hour.

> Gravity assists with planets can provide net delta-v allowing spacecrafts to reach other planets. See the Voyager 2 gravity assists for one example

If you were on Jupiter measuring Voyager’s speed before and after it interacted with Jupiter, you wouldn’t measure a net effect. It’s only if you’re standing on the Sun (or somewhere else where you can see Jupiter revolving) that you see Jupiter “pull” the spacecraft along, thereby imparting velocity.

Gravity doesn’t do any work. The gravitational potential energy of the Voyager-Jovian system is entirely conserved in a flyby. Jupiter’s orbital energy about the Sun is what’s stolen.

This is a common misconception when it comes to gravity assists. It’s why I think that language could be tighter.
No, it's more that the so called "Journalists" have directives from their editors and corporate overlords to never link to any external content that might see people who could be reading the article and thus served ads leave the site. It's purely profit motivated, and results in long winded articles describing a video where just simply watching the video itself would be infinitely more useful / informative.
A cyclist rides through a red light (as they frequently do) and gets hit by a car - car's problem?

This sort of "worst intentions" stuff is FUD. Sure, you can leak some potentially embarrassing photos of someone with doctored drugs on the floor.

So what? I can Photoshop some powder into a picture too. It might look better, but not really that much. I think the media needs to accept that images are no longer trustworthy unless there's some chain of evidence tied to them.

I can say "John was on the floor with a bucket of cocaine", that doesn't make it true.
It might be funny and educational to try to train an LLM to review code while following these antipatterns.

I'm not even sure if your conspiracy is that the government is cooking the books - or that newspapers are covering for Democrats.
I still haven't encountered an environment where PRs aren't either essentially a rubber-stamping because an external audit said they needed to do code reviews, or the death-by-a-thousand-cuts as described in the article.

I'm sure they exist in the working world, but 5 years in across 4 different companies I've yet to encounter it (beyond what I've tried to provide to others in my code reviews on their PRs).
These massive presses are/were of strategic importance. Something politicians, most of whom seem to be lawyers these days, completely fail to grasp. I am not in general a fan of government subsidy, but I was very disappointed when the government of the UK declined to fund a large press in Sheffield, which would have been used to build the next generation of nuclear reactors. June 2010 timeframe. Luckily natural gas is cheap and has no geopolitical supply chain problems eh?
I've read the complete Anthony C Yu four volume Journey to the West translation and I don't think there are many, if any, good comparisons in Western literature. There's an overarching story for the Monkey King, Tang Sanzang, and the rest of the gang, contained within the work, but the bulk of the chapters are self-contained episodic stories, with mostly those same characters, and can be read without almost any knowledge of the others.

The closest Western example I can think of with a novel-like work similarly containing many disconnected episodic stories is Don Quixote.

> Safeguards just make users migrate to other services to generate what they want.

There is a massive difference between "it's on everyone's Android phone", "it's on everyone's Pixel phone" and "you gotta pay some dodgy web service 10 dollars in bitcoin" when it comes to abuse potential.

Creating disturbing imagery, especially of the kind that has the potential to uproot someone's life (think, fake nudity, association with known criminals) or in the worst case cause actual riots with real people dying (it's happened way too often that WhatsApp chain letters have caused that, now imagine this with convincing faked imagery!), should not be accessible at the push of a button. There must be placed at least some hurdle, or you'll get 4chan style trolling everywhere.
And videos and sounds are not trustworthy anymore either, see "deepfake AI".

As someone who has lived pretty much all of my life in the desert I look with considerable caution towards high speed asphalt.

The road concrete is roughened, you have good traction even in less than ideal weather. And concrete lasts an awful lot longer under heavy traffic. Smooth concrete would be like you are worried about, but the high speed roads aren't smooth concrete.

Asphalt is a hydrocarbon product and can sweat. But worse is the oil from cars. Drip, drip, drip--since it's on a hydrocarbon base it loosely bonds with it and simply accumulates. When the rain does come along the roads will be very slippery until there has been enough rain and cars to wash them clean. Until then, hydroplane accidents galore. Be especially careful around gas stations.

It was deleted from the default build of the timezone files but remains in the source tree; patches are accepted.

Choices have to be made for usefulness vs completeness vs size as it's quite likely that at least one and perhaps multiple copies of the database are present on any system out there running code in C that needs to know what time it is in human terms.

But if you're a packrat, you can include the extras in your build of the timezone data by setting PACKRATDATA=backzone during the build.

Mystical connection? Now you're back to religion.

These things also happen to motorcycle riders.

The biggest difference is motorcycle riders don't ride in the bike lane until suddenly and without warning they pop into the road lane and ride straight through stop signs and red lights.

Cyclists are often the plague of the road. Can't decide if they want to be treated like a real vehicle, or a pedestrian. They often choose both, whichever being convenient for them at the time. This often leads to the interactions you have described.

Can cars be better around cyclists? Sure, without any doubts. But... cyclists need to do better around cars too. After all, the cyclist will always lose that fight.

Except then you're running your personal banking software on someone else's computer. It seems like something someone committed to a phone free lifestyle might possibly be mindful of and want to avoid. I think a better solution would be to get a tablet that's far too big to fit in a pocket would be a better solution. No temptation to take it with you on short errand runs because it's way too big to put in any pocket, and gets you your banking apps.

The whole point of crypto is that, assuming you stay fully on chain, it cannot be regulated the way banks are. When you have the right keys and a connection to a node, nothing can stop you from sending BTC to another wallet. Regulation of crypto is possible only at the blockchain-tradfi interface (e.g. US Govt could tell Coinbase to not interact with a particular wallet). However, if crypto gains the sort of traction where you can buy most items with purely on-chain transfer, regulation becomes close to impossible as we see with cash.
Yep, I use it quite frequently. Thanks for the feedback

For a butt joint V it out on both sides and do many, many passes. Maybe have a few guys with rosebud torches working heat into it as you go. Big rods make it go faster (https://youtu.be/j61ezBX-EyA). For a lap joint it's the same idea, you're going for a great big fillet. But if you have a gigantic press at your disposal there are other options. For inspiration: https://youtu.be/k_LA_R4ifYk

The idea behind forge welding is you get both parts nearly molten (e.g. "welding heat") then your hammer blow (or the pressure from a huge press) puts enough energy into the weld area to briefly melt it.

Also, hot rivets might be a better option than welding if you can get away with it.
One thing that works well for me is going working-to-working. Get a simple, de-scoped, incomplete, probably crappy version done end-to-end. Now it's not about finishing, it's about improving. And if it was worth building in the first place, it will beg for improvement. And then it's easier to just keep turning the crank, working-to-working.

Django is a python web framework over 15 years old that's also very similar to what GP wants. For example their apple->box->house query would be something like:

Still have to specify "box", but the actual foreign key relationships are defined on the models so you don't do the full JOIN statements anywhere.
Oddly timed article with Ernesto being what it was and is
So now students are being admitted based on merit, finally.

Perhaps there are other ways to encourage equality of opportunity rather than this horrible opportunity of outcome that we recently had.

Its not fair for anyone if someone gets into a position they’re not qualified for, or gets admitted somewhere they're very likely to fail. It undermines the institution, the other students, and themselves.

Either the institution has to lower the bar academically, play favorites, modify grading standards, or have a large failure rate within a target demographic.

It’s a net negative for everyone. The great equalizer is merit, which leads upward mobility.

We need to work on better upward mobility, and this is a step in the right direction. Lets put resources in finding, and supporting, real causes for inequality
It probably doesn't matter as long as you keep it consistent. If the counterfactual was N-1 instead of a replacement worker, then almost everyone would represent positive value, and you're still comparing multiple positive numbers. Yes, there exist people who are net negatives and the company would be better off without them, but not THAT many.
A 9" tablet that you can't fit in a pocket was the solution I thought up but I like the cut of your jib.
Given we live in a period of rampant mis-information and general media ill-literacy, it's difficult for me to imagine this tool being a net-positive for our societies. On the one hand, such tools can be used to generate false images, as the article demonstrates. On the other hand, the existence and widespread availability of such tools will bring much more doubt and skepticism for any photos that challenge one's beliefs or the status quo. Are you trying to show me photographic evidence to prove to me that something is true? Well, now I handwave it away as probably an AI generated image.

Maybe something will break, and the general population will become excellent at citing and verifying sources as a response to rampant fakes. However, given the generally sorry state of news and journalism, and seeing how many people on social media believe that AI slop is real, I'm skeptical.
And this is just a consumer product. Just think what a nation or corporation could do with a meager budget. News(from centralized sources) is dead. We can't trust images, audio, or video any more.
So, there's a few things here:

First, part of the benefit of peer review is that two people have seen the code and have familiarity. Even if it's rubber stamping, if someone has actually looked at it, LGTM might be enough.

Second, even if PR only catches something 10% of the time, it catches the most obvious bugs.
