But it is unavoidable to have to use markup for style.

You have to use some markup to indicate the span that needs to be bold. Yes, you could use a <span> instead, but that is still using html for style, and conveys less about the purpose of the tag.

I like this! I feel like I've written a half-version of this a dozen times, it's nice to see a version which is fully fleshed out.

One feature request: you could likely fully remove the need for an NPM package by accepting POST requests from forms, and staple the API key in with either the URL or an <input type="hidden" value="key"/>—is that in the roadmap?

req.ip, but also look at the x-forwarded-for header if you are using a proxy server. This header can have multiple ip's when you have say nginx terminate ssl and use cloudflare.
The code runs locally on your machine. Right now the architecture is that each Srcbook has 2 representations:

- a markdown encoding that we use when you export. Easier to share, serialize, etc...

- on disk, Srcbooks are actually directories under ~/.srcbook/srcbooks. The files and code is all there, and runs with your local node executable. You therefore need to be careful to not run any arbitrary srcbook you download, but there is no code ever leaving your machine

Also consider that maybe the parent comment would not have bought the book in 1984 either, for the same reason.

With 1984, I meant the book by George Orwell where newspaper articles of the past are permanently changed (and any references to the existence of the old versions are destroyed) to fit the daily political climate/narrative.

I read that too, and wonder about the usefulnes of this feature.

If your mouse has a sample rate of, say, 100Hz, what benefit does it bring to increase that to 1000Hz? You would still get 10 samples with the same data, then the next 10, and so on...

Or am I missing something here?

The redesign of the "Save" operation is better than the original, where the checkbox list is positioned in context, and there is an indicator for the async operation.

But I think it would be better if it kept the toast. When the operation completes successfully, presumably the async indicator just disappears. That has no impact and a toast fixes that.

Also, presumably the operation can fail. I suppose you'd replace the async indicator with a red X or something, and maybe revert the checkbox. But it would be useful if there could be a textual description of what went wrong, and a toast is a nice and consistent way to present that.
> ... you have one king with associated subordinates per physical area

Yes and no. Land changed hands. As recently as the 19th century, a distant relative of mine fled Eastern Europe from an area where he could be conscripted by either the Prussians or the Russians.

> In Capitalism, anyone(*) with sufficient capital can become a king in a specific fief

We're talking about social mobility here, basically. This existed in feudal times too. A Viking called Rollo became the first ruler of Normandy and didn't seem to come from noble beginnings. A direct descendant of his became the King of England by conquest. In fact every European monarch today is a descedant of Rollo.

The land here is simply the means of production, just like Amazon is. Amazon has many owners but is it that different really?

Social mobility in modern times is more limited than you might expect. ZIP codes tend to be strong predictors of your economic outcomes. This is exacerbated by our existence being laden with debt. Student, medical, housing, etc. It's why a lot of people use terms like "neofeudalism" as all this debt makes is increasingly indistinguishable from brick kiln workers in Bangladesh, Pakistan and India. This is by design because a debt-laden worker is a compliant worker.

> Socialism (depending on brand), means of production are usually controlled by the state

That's more communism. Even so, the state is comprised of and answerable to the workers. Even then I'd rather have the state capture "profit" to build roads and schools rather than some guy buying another mega-yacht.

A lot of people, myself included, focus on the workers owning the means of production because this can be done incrementally and we'd all be substantially better off if our megacorps were instead collectives.
Many people in the 80s and early 90s tried that alternative. It worked very well for smaller projects, which frankly, was the point. Take the big project and break it into little projects and then utilize a strike team to implement each of the little projects. The approach was decent, and still is!, it's just combining a bunch of little projects into a big project and managing the overall big project is challenging. That's the rub - small projects don't need much management at all, medium projects benefit from existing methodologies (whether they're "good" or "bad"), but large projects are a challenge no matter what you do. You can make them less challenging, but they're still challenging.
> it exhibits the same resistance to radical novelty that it condemns

You're talking about bio-mimetic systems that wouldn't arise for a generation, he was talking about "the discrete world of computing". There's no context there to resist.

We built large statistical systems out of the "discrete world" components. Different regimes, if you will.

The fascinating thing is that chemical/biological systems evolved discrete interactions (e.g. nervous systems that can be deranged by, say, a few micrograms of LSD.)

Yes it does, but is it because some people believe and argue that jumping from a bridge "is not that bad" or "may be justifiable under some circumstances"?
In this specific example you do have an Undo button: the checkbox itself. The issue here is that the checkbox doesn’t match the exact state it’s supposed to represent: if you check it, for a few seconds it’s checked but the video is not yet saved; if you uncheck it it’s not unsaved until the toast appear. If you repeatedly check/uncheck it you don’t know in which state you end up.
If they are not, get rid of them pronto as they erode your credibility. Also only include people who customers can easily search for and see that they’re a real person.
> Since an embedded Linux system will likely require use of either Buildroot or Yocto,

I don't know if that's the case anymore. The kernel ships with a lot of drivers now, and Root FS for embedded devices aren't really space constrained anymore. The needs of an IoT device have also grown to include things like containers and telemetry. In my experience, forking off of an existing distribution like Debian is way easier than navigating Buildroot or Yocto's documentation and cruft, and results in faster builds.

I got so fed up with those tools I eventually built a custom tool (Etcha) to build my own meta distribution (EtchaOS) of immutable variants for Debian, Fedora, etc. It owns the entire provisioning pipeline and builds multi-arch images in less than 10 minutes:

> I doubt that any recommendation system is capable of providing meaningful results in absence of the "awareness" about the actual content (be it music, books, movies or anything else) of what it's meant to recommend.

Years of experience have proven that you can get quite far with pure collaborative filtering—no user features, no content features. It's a very hard baseline to beat. A similar principle applies to language modeling: from word2vec to transformers, language models never rely on any additional information about what a token "means," only how the tokens relate to each other.
That means you need to pawn off startup ideas onto people with bad risk management and invest in a bunch of them to spread out your risk.

Would such recovery from burnout be necessary in the first place if one didn't find the need to do intensive work?
It was a joke. I don’t really believe (nor did I expect anyone to think that) spiders have been observing humans watching adverts on TV, following them around to understand the socio-economic ramifications of that, then hatching a plan to catch other insects based on observations.
Does the drug itself cause the risk reduction, or is it the weight loss? Or also, if you're less hungry, are you eating less high-carb junk?

I'm not saying people shouldn't take these drugs.

These questions come to me because of my own anecdata. I'm a T2 diabetic, using metformin and Trulicity, a similar GLP-1 drug.

Six or seven months ago, for reasons, I stopped taking Trulicty, with no lifestyle changes. My daily blood sugar tests went up, no surprise. Started Trulicity again.

About three months ago I found it really difficult to find Trulicity. There are shortages, combined with my 48 state truck driving job, where my pharmacy is whatever Walmart I happen to be near that allows truck parking.

I flipped the fuckit bit, went on a diet that i mostly follow, do some exercise, and diligently watch carbs and calories.

I've lost a lot of weight - I was on the low end of BMI obese, now I'm closing in on the high end of BMI normal.

My blood sugar self tests are as good as they ever were when i was first diagnosed and stabilized on metformin. Haven't had an A1C test yet.

This is not an "If I can do it so can they" screed. Take the drug if you need it, it has benefits.

My personal anecdote of one makes me question, where the article is not clear: is the risk reduction from the drug itself, or from its intended effects?

> who wish racial slurs had a more prominent place in modern society.

Nobody is wishing they had a more prominent place today, nor in the future. Rather, there is a need not to edit the past, lest we forget it.

> "And Then There Were None" in its first US edition in 1940; the use of the original title until 1985 is a UK thing.

I suggest that is because in the USA, particularly in the south, political sensitivities about such a title would be difficult to overcome and the association with an old British poem would be completely lost.

sure, you can get the model to understand with enough examples, but OP of this thread was saying LLMs need many many more steps than humans do. Mschuster was saying this could partially be an artifact of the tokenization - humans visually seeing 1,000,000 and 1000001 for the first time can see that they are similar based on how they look. A transformer must learn two token sequences, which may not have any tokens in common, are different by 1.* And it must do this based entirely on context and how likely one is to appear in the same place as another. That takes a massive amount of data in practice and could be one reason why humans appear to learn from much sparser data and faster.

* in gpt-2’s case, you get
1,000,000 -> 16, 11, 830, 11, 830, 198, 49
And
1000001 ->
388, 486
which means the model will see a sequence of noise embeddings entirely different when training. That means seeing 1,000,000 any number of times will not really help the model prepare for when it sees 1000001 for the first time.
You can play around with https://tiktokenizer.vercel.app/?model=gpt2 to see how tokenization of numbers has been improved by different models to try and mitigate this.

Neither am I, most of the fun is in the software anyway. The rest is just some amateurish solder work and compiling an array of components I may or may not use.

That doesn’t necessarily imply individual predictions are particularly good. If between two outcomes I say X wins 50% and I pick the winner randomly I’m going to be correct 50% of the time. However, if I offered people bets at 50/50 odds based on those predictions I would lose a great deal of money to people making more accurate predictions.

most recs now are based on "users also listened to.." and (very rarely) audio embeddings/features.

however much of my personal discovery is based on trying to understand the history of groups that i piece together from wikipedia and reading about who the artists were.

I want is recommendations based of some sort of in-depth knowledge graph that traces personnel hopping between bands, which other artists worked in the same scene, who they public acknowledge as an influence, etc.

it would be great to uncover things like "hey, did you know that all these songs you like had the same producer? maybe you should dig into other things that this guy produced" or "this artist you loved was really into a performer from a completely different genre -- maybe you should check it to see the influences that they had"

I think it's bizarre to call the "factual errors" at all. Would you alter a book from 1958 that "incorrectly" refers to Eisenhower as the current U.S. President? Such "fixes" would be a defacement of the historical record, flattening all of time into a perpetual now.
Is there even any performance benefit on modern CPUs? I tried to consult some real tables but I'm not experienced enough to be sure I'm reading them correctly. If I'm reading something like [1] properly, it looks like it is not a clear win on modern hardware to use fixed point & integer operations. It would depend on the ratio of addition/subtraction/multiplication to division.

(Obviously one must factor out a lot of local considerations, which modern CPUs are full unto overflowing with; I'm kind of looking at a very, very broad average performance question across code bases doing enough different math operations to average out, not whether one particular loop can run theoretically run faster or slower with one or the other.)

Just wait until the author sees the toasts in MS Teams. I expect his head will explode.

Teams has, hands-down in my opinion, _the_ worst usage of toasts that I've seen. It's bad enough I get the OS toast from Teams, that may or may not disappear on its own after a time (on both Windows and Linux). However, there's also an in-app toast that blocks part of UI that is used the most: replying to messages. Literally, typing a reply, then boom, toast appears, blocks most of the buttons used to interact with your reply. (formatting, emoji/gifs, attachments and even the reply button!)

Yes, but this still "freezes" the VM when the user creates it, and I've got no tools to force the software running in it to be updated. It's important that boxes can be updated, not just reliably created.

As just one reason why, many developers need to set up complex test data. We have tools to help with that, but they take time to run and each team has their own needs, so some of them still have manual steps when creating a new dev server. These devs tend to re-use their servers until our company-wide max age. Others, to be fair, spin up a new machine for every branch, multiple times per day, and spinning up a new VM might not be burdensome for them.
The products are different, sure. And there are more people participating now than then. But I'm not convinced that the two are that fundamentally different. Some technologies just take the better part of a century to mature.
