Hah! I accidentally deleted a production deployment the other day, because I thought it was mucking with my local Colima Kubernetes's cluster. I forgot that I had my context set to one of my AWS clusters. I had been meaning to write a command to wrap helm and kubectrl to prompt me with info before committing, so I will have to take a peek at this.

Good luck.
Finally got time to read a bit of the patent, which talks about two TDCs and BDCs, which I'll denote as "high" and "low", as related to the distance of the piston to the crankshaft. So the high TDC has maximum compression, and low BDC has the maximum cylinder volume, and the scavenging port(s) are between high BDC and low BDC.

Unless I screwed up my notation shift, the strokes from the patent are as follows:

1. Intake (low TDC -> high BDC)

2. Compression (high BDC -> high TDC)

3. Power (high TDC -> low BDC)

4. Compression (low BDC -> high TDC)

5. Power (high TDC -> high BDC)

6. Exhaust (high BDC -> low BDC)

So during the first power stroke, stroke 3, the cylinder moves from "high" to "low" and thus is the longer power stroke. Also during the second compression stroke, stroke 4, the cylinder position moves from "low" to "high". So technically leading to higher compression ratio. I was thinking it would cost too much energy to do so, hence dismissed that alternative, but I guess not.

The patent also notes that the extra scavenging ports are not needed, fresh air-fuel mixture can be introduced via the inlet valve(s) while the piston moves between the two BDCs.

Would be fun to try to simulate it in Ange's engine simulator[1].

There is no jurisdiction in which blowing off a court is a legitimate reaction to perceived lawlessness. Or more accurately, there is no jurisdiction where doing so doesn’t legitimately bring down on you the full force of the state. To do anything else is to cede the rule of law.

They're both missing a lot of features, and which features are missing/unsupported is not documented in the tool itself (it just silently fails if you try to use options they haven't ported over, instead of telling you they're unsupported either in the docs or at run time).

The client is missing multiplexing (ControlMaster, etc.), for example. The server also has various quirks, including requiring extra configuration to allow SSHing in to administrator accounts.

If you can get away with doing everything in WSL instead, you're better off.

Sure. You still show up.

If the executive orders you not to show, you have a constitutional crisis and the rule of law has broken down. But that didn’t happen here. (Note: the court’s orders may be illegal. But not showing up and then complaining about sanctions is incoherent.)

Simple leave the land. It's crazy to see the left so anti-property when it comes to domestic matters but then in this case they are more than willing to give up untold human life for some now worthless land-mind filled dirt. Why are Ukranian property rights worth the death of so many?

> He still gets to shout about being silenced by evil socialist Brazil, even if he’s capitulated.

Socialist? This victim narrative is bizarre. There is almost no one outside of Brazil who supports what Moraes is doing, most people inside Brazil are against it (even on the face of it, Lula only won by a hair and half of the population are Bolsonaristas, and a significant number of the rest have free speech as a principle), and more than twice as many Senators in Brazil are for impeachment than are against*.

Pretending that this is some crusade by the evil right wing of the world directed by their leader Elon Musk against the socialism is bizarre, bad faith, and encouraged by anyone who supports the ban.

> He still gets to shout about being silenced by evil socialist Brazil, even if he’s capitulated.

Brazil didn't silence Musk, who can speak and be heard wherever he wants, whenever he wants. Brazil silenced Brazilians, and cut them off from the world. Musk is just some dickhead whose business has been going extremely well over the past decade or two, and is not the world representative of free speech. He's a pretense whose use by antidemocratic forces almost managed the achievement of banning all VPN usage in Brazil.

I wonder who is going to get the contract to build the Great Brazilian Firewall, seeing as the twitter ban was spotty and VPNs were still a way around it? Will it be a US company?

It greatly reduces the number of people outside of the backing company who are willing to spend their time working on improvements to Redis.

By all means, eat as much healthy food as you can afford. But whatever caused your psychiatric problems, it couldn't have been food. Unless you're so poor that you severely malnourished, or you're eating something severely toxic. And even then, lots of places in this world with malnourished populations that are not depressed.

Improving the quality of your life is not just food. It's all the other things that go into it. Like autonomy, sense of security, friends, social status, finances, physical activity levels, etc.

So be sure to look after improving those things too.

I'm currently working on an LLM-based product for a large company that's used in circuit design. Our customers have very strict confidentiality requirements since the field is very competitive and they all have trade secret technologies that give them significant competitive advantages. Using something public like ChatGPT is simply out of the question. Their design environments are often completely disconnected from the public internet, so our tools need to run local models. Llama 3 has worked well for us so far and we're looking at other models too. We also prefer not being locked in to a specific vendor like OpenAI, since our reliance on the model puts us in a poor position to negotiate and the future of AI companies isn't guaranteed.

For my personal use, I also prefer to use local models. I'm not a fan of OpenAI's shenanigans and Google already abuses its customers data. I also want the ability to make queries on my own local files without having to upload all my information to a third party cloud service.

Finally, fine tuning is very valuable for improving performance in niche domains where public data isn't generally available. While online providers do support fine tuning through their services, this results in significant lock in as you have to pay them to do the tuning in their servers, you have to provide them with all your confidential data, and they own the resulting model which you can only use through their service. It might be convenient at first, but it's a significant business risk.

Musk has long enjoyed the benefits of treating his empire as a conglomerate, without the costs of things like shared liability, doing things like casually reusing Tesla engineers in Twitter or sending Twitter's GPUs to X.ai, and daring shareholders to do anything about it. Now that he's gone to war with the establishment, he may find that the blind eye turned to these sorts of things in the past is no longer going to be so blind; it's not like that sort of bait-and-switch or diffusion of responsibility is novel, and the legal system is well-equipped to attack it in more criminal settings.

And Moraes seems to be showing that it works: similar to how Musk is deathly silent about the CCP, even Brazil has enough muscle to bring him to heel, so you can bet the EU is watching with great interest indeed.

Picking a fight he couldn't win with Moraes, and showing everyone else the way to deal with him, may turn out to have been his biggest mistake since perhaps signing the iron-clad deal to buy Twitter itself.

This is a not very useful breakdown of the political situation. There is only one thing that is required to have a democracy, and that is the peaceful transition of power. And that requires that people have to accept the results of elections. Elections don't have to be fair. They don't have to be free from corruption. They don't have to be accurate, lord knows the elections in the United States are horribly skewed due to the fact that we have such low voter turnout. If you wanted to accurately assess who would be the best elected official in a given position you could do a lot better by just getting a board of statisticians and sampling the hell out of your electorate. But the thing that is important is that we go through a process, that process terminates, and we go with whatever it says the winner was. If it was a bad choice c'est la vie I'll see you again next election and if there was shady shit that happened, we can address that in the interim.

I don't give a shit what the far right views on like immigration or abortion or taxes are. I can disagree with them, but that's not like an existential threat to the country. What is in the US is the fact that we have a candidate for president who was still not conceded his loss in the 2020 election and is running again on the same premise that the elections are rigged. Like the bar is so low here.

This is pretty accurate. We have some proposals in development for 2 and 3 but it won't be soon. 1 and 4 are straightforward. The rest take QoL hours. Probably an unnamed 5th bullet point is finding experience novelty which make the other 4 less important. We did novel things with algorithms and moderation, but we'd be smart to do novel things with the core product loop.
The "fight" between Twitter and Brazil is inherently political. That's like saying Bethesda ruined Fallout by making it "woke" and "anti-American"

There is no "right" answer to this. But tolerating crappy engineering because it's cost effective seems like an admission of defeat to people that actually want to make things better. It's not so much letting perfect be the enemy of good enough; it's more about the steady decline in quality because that's what we incentivize.

When an open source project achieves success it does so on the backs of not only those who use it, but those who contribute. Sometimes these contributions are not just code but also include constructive feedback, bug reports (some very detailed with repros), documentation, advertisement by way of blog posts about the ways consumers use it, and more. While i fully believe that other players should be expected to contribute monetarily or with code, I also don’t believe that you should fundamentally change the relationship between the project and the consumer because the consumer has built a product on or with your project. They chose to build that product based on the license you provided them. If you didn’t want to license it that way then don’t do so from the beginning and you probably won’t get as many of the aforementioned benefits.

If I choose to open source something it’s because it’s either a passion project or it solves a problem that myself and others struggled to solve. I don’t open source it under the expectation of eventual profit. In fact, i hope by putting it out there it might become better as others improve upon it and we all benefit.
