Harbor is a toolkit for working with LLMs locally, it got an upgrade recently - an LLM proxy (called boost).

It comes with first-class support for streaming, multiple downstream APIs and custom modules, aka scripts you can write to bash some workflows together.

One of the most interesting built-in modules is klmbr, which can inject entropy into your prompts, making LLM outputs much more diverse as a result.
Lots of comments herein cover things I would otherwise post, so I'll just say this is great fun. Love that it's FOSS. Now, everyone go make some music!
Yes, you can make perfectly valid mathematical systems that have zero anchoring to any physical reality we experience (such as, trivially, n-dimensional geometries).

A geology that isn't anchored to our physical reality seems intrinsically invalid.
this.

the tradeoff is with something like godot you only have examples/tutorials and hardly ever something "finished" or "very fun" or "thing people are playing".

something like roblox or another modding-focused game allows you to see what other people did as inspiration or to show what other people are actually interested in, as opposed to just making things for yourself.
Yes, Wasm3 also targets Cortex-M4 and even Cortex-M0 :)
Agreed. I find it interesting that "silence is violence" people are assuming that silence means you agree with the opinions being expressed around you. So if you're in an echo chamber with those same people, while they chant slogans or pat each other on the back about whatever their issue du jour is -- if you're silent, by their logic, theoretically you're agreeing with them. But in practice, they think you being silent is disagreement, not silent support as is assumed for everything else except their views.
Yes, the law did allow the FCC to mandate unlocking. They were given the ability to write regulations - which are a form of law - on behalf of Congress within their stated mission.

Just as, to use your food analogy, the FDA wrote regulations that make it illegal for companies from selling you rotten meat.
Be polite. If a LEO wants to escalate, they will.

There is a term called “grey rocking” when dealing with unstable people. You react as if you are a lump of stone, no emotion. Don’t give them anything to react to.

If a cop has cause to search you, they will. If they ask, they are still looking for that cause.

When they ask, simply say that you are exercising your 4th amendment rights. If they continue to press you, ask if you are free to go. If they say no, then sign the ticket or ask for a lawyer if you are getting charged.

I don't agree. You're not engaging with the reality on the ground, which is increased Hezbollah aggression since the pager attack.
Native file dialogs would be nice, agreed. Same for drag and drop support. The great thing about Godot is that it is, after all, "just" an open source application written in C++, and if someone wants to add support for this badly enough it is definitely doable, especially if you limit yourself to just one or two platforms.

As for menu bar, why do you think a native one in particular is better? Godot has great support for menu bars already, and I'm just not sure what the native one would add to the table.
Academic economists get big payouts when they help monopolists beat antitrust
Novel where? I don't think this is a good explanation. Japan has had department stores for the better part of the last century.
It's a dog whistle. There are no studies on this, why would academia (which for the field that would study this is 100% composed of leftists) have a study on leftist dog whistles?

Also, putting any value on "studies" when they almost universally fail to replicate outside of hard sciences is dumb.

If the TI84 were the only calculator, that would indeed be the conclusion. It's not, though.

Or is it more generally true that all high-end calculators use microprocessors?
Well, for one, charging duration isn’t the same as filling a gas tank, so the store needs to be more coffee shop / lounge than convenience store, although those items must be available, too. It really should have an upscale vibe because electric cars are purchased more by higher income families. Spaces for telecommuting should be involved. Think of it as a truck stop but for luxury electric cars. No showers, but cubicles are there. Can I get ycombinator approved for this idea? :) /half sarcasm
The Follin brothers used straightforward methods but took them to the extreme. Arpeggios? Double them and make them use complex chords. Triangle channel? Use it both as bass and drums. Note attack?

I do see consolidation happening, but it doesn't have to do with data. Right now there are many EMP (eMobility Provider) in Europe, trying to get a piece of the cake.

Scale of economics will make the big ones have an edge over the small ones, eventually only a few big ones will likely survive. Two examples:

- If an EMP connects directly to a CPO (Charge Point Operator) they can avoid roaming platform fees, but it requires individual integration. This is only worth for very large CPO like Ionity.

- An EMP has to sanitize and improve the raw chargepoint data they get from providers. Thousands of times CPOs have set their chargepoints to LatLng 0,0; have messed up lng and lat; have put their stations to Somalia's beach.

I think there's a somewhat obvious middle ground here: use the platform's default behavior, and surface an option that lets a user decide if they prefer the other version; eg: a PC user should also have the option to treat the page keys as scroll inputs rather than cursor navigation.

> Why are they in leadership roles? No clue

Because, IMO, there's a large overlap between being an irrational person and also being likable and smart sounding.

Confidence doesn't actually come from being good, it comes from being delusional. In order to truly market yourself you need a healthy disdain for the truth. You spit on reality and create your own.

Engineers and other rational-minded people have a big problem - they're too honest. They do feasibly analysis, they look at risks, they talk about weaknesses, pros and cons. But this doesn't strike confidence, quite the opposite - it makes the business folk weary. Why go with you, who estimates 10% chance of failure, when they can go with Mark, who says it's guaranteed to work?

Extrapolate that across all decisions and boom, the people at the top are usually the most irrational. It doesn't really matter that it's all a lie because when everyone walks out of that boardroom, they feel comforted.
> Making petrol engines 1% more fuel-efficient would be massive. Increasing the conversion rate of online ads by 1% could make you very, very rich indeed. Good advice for AI probably; bad advice in other fields.

It's good advice in every field. Most improvements have a cost. If you make engines 1% more efficient but 5% more expensive no one will care.

Heck electric engines are wildly more efficient (80-95%) compared to combustion engines (20-35%), not to mention far simpler, and we can hardly get people to switch. Even immense improvements can be hard to roll out.

Don't work on marginal gains. Any minor problem or inconvenience will wipe them out and all your time and effort will be worth nothing. Let people who are paid by companies do that.

If you're going to do a PhD focus on something that could be big. Whenever students suggest a project I always start by asking what the upside is: what if we massively succeed?
Yes, that makes sense, of course, but the point is that there is a business opportunity in the vast wide open world of the US for electric charging to not just be a sidecar to established businesses but rather a destination unto itself. Consider how much money McDonalds has made from people needing a restroom over the years.

> AI will automate it and we can let go of knowledgeable humans

I used to be upset when people said these things based on pressing a button and watching a computer generate a word salad like a slot machine hitting the jackpot. Until I realized that it’s not a statement about the machine, it’s a statement about themselves. They can’t distinguish between competent people and confident sounding and well-formatted regurgitation. Which is especially concerning from leaders, who really should be able to weed out imposters.

Now, AI may make more leaps quickly that changes the equation. But anyone with an ounce of experience in the tech world knows to not take optimistic extrapolations at face value.

HAProxy ECH (Encrypted client hello) support #1924 (2022)
Weird, this problem doesn't exist in Europe. I found Plugshare to be more reliable and informative than ABRP, especially in the areas where charger stations aren't that common.
First, I wish there was a resource but there isn't. This kind of just lives on as bits of folklore among users and devs. You'd think Apple's guidelines was a place to start, but honestly not really.

The sibling comments gave some great answers and especially `crazygringo` summarized pretty much exactly what I was gonna say, so I'm not gonna go into detail.

But I just wanna add: "Mac-assedness" totally includes of some strict, non-negotiable rules, but it also involves lots of loose, abstract "vibes" where even if your app isn't exactly guideline on paper, it just feels right in spirit and paradoxically, by being more custom, the app comes out more native in the end. This takes a certain personal taste to pull off as a developer. And it is the opposite of design by committee.
That doesn't that well though. Datomic is much more efficient on doing this

You’re hearing loads about fraud because the anti-intellectual bots are here to make sure you hear about them all the time.

Republicans and Russian bots WANT you to hate science and academia and they have frequent pushes across social media platforms to make sure you do.
This rule of thumb is true much more often than it's not: if a product or service is talking to the internet, it's spying on you. I just assume anything internet-connected is hostile until proven otherwise.
This is true. I guess I’m in a headspace where I’d rather prepare while I’m relatively healthy and can, because if something happens later it will be too late.

Many, many people have told me I should leave my job. However, I don’t want to cut my legs out from under me during what should be my best earning years.

I was getting better at not caring so much. Two co-workers dying, leading to a big change of heart in my boss at the time, made the job lower stress. But managements changes have increased the stress and disfunction to the highest level. I suppose the stress of staying is lower than the stress of the unknown.
This pretty much reflects what we get in the US as well. Obviously with the size of the US we have a ways to go before we get to ICE level of coverage but it has gotten much better the last 2-3 years. The only thing Google maps lacks over say the Tesla app is being able to see how many chargers are available at a station. I’ve changed my trip a little bit a few times when it’s clear one station is a lot busier than another one that might be 20 miles down the road.
You are completely right of of course. I often think about that when I can't avoid charging in the middle of nowhere.
> I previously considered offering a feature to store users' JSON in the cloud,

I'm not sure how this would work well with the privacy-aspect and everything running locally, even if you upload them encrypted. And storage is cheap these days.

> From your perspective, would you need such a feature?

Personally, no. As a developer, I have many tools which need access to my data. And I also have many other files outside of JSON. So I need to have centralized place which all my software can equally easy access. So I don't really see the value in one specialized tool with specialized storage for me.

Maybe, people working mobile or in teams might have some value for this, but this is a very specialized group of customers. And I would think they will prefer something like Dropbox, Google Drive or OneDrive for sharing files. Maybe integrating this has more value for your customers. But then again, this is probably not an ongoing cost for you which would justify a subscription.

As you have processing as a selling-point, maybe you should try this and offer automatic remote-processing. People use tools like Zapier, IFTTT and Node-red for automating web- and service-related tasks or for business logic. Maybe you can find a special corner in terms of ability, price and/or simplicity, which is not covered well enough by the big tools. Some companies are really crazy with paying for hyper-specialized services just to let some laymen do their stuff.
Under a strict reading of the AI Act, advanced voice mode would be illegal because it is the "use of AI systems to infer emotions of a natural person in the areas of workplace and education institutions, except where the use of AI system is intended to be put in place or into the market for medical or safety reasons"
As an EV owner, another issue I find is that there are a discomfortingly large number of chargers that are "for customers only" or that require you to pay for parking just to charge.

This is a massive UX issue. With gas cars you can use any gas station you want and you don't have to pay additional fees other than the gas.
Groceries seem quite unusual for a department store, with their focus on quality and luxury (or at least the illusion of), and food being commoditized.

My strategy for resolving this is to fetch the flag value once, but to store it in the request object, so that a) you never have to take the expensive lookup hit more than once per request, and b) there's no risk of an inconsistent value if the flag is updated mid-request.

Cosmology at a Tipping Point–We May Be on the Verge of Discovering New Physics
You don’t know how many people believe in ghosts, and you don’t know what they’re thinking when they listen to a ghost story. I ‘believe in’ ghosts as a non-supernatural construct we use in literature. A technique to embody and externalize voices in people’s heads.

> fixing the climate

I would be happy to be convinced that climate is an intelligence problem.

One could argue it could be solved with "abundant energy" but if this abundant energy comes from some new intelligence then we are probably several decades away from having it running commercially. I would also be happy to be convinced that we do have this kind of time to act for climate.

I've always said they need them at all the McDonalds along the interstates. You need them at a place where a person can sit down and eat for 20-30 minutes. A 5 minute purchase at a store isn't going to charge the car much.

Specifically here I believe he is referring to the pulse width of the square wave, like you would see on many basic oscillators. A 50% setting would have the wave high for half of the cycle, then low for the other half (111110000011111000001111100000 etc). A 1% setting would have the wave high for 1% of the cycle, then low for the remaining 99% (something like 100000000010000000001000000000). This is still a 440Hz periodic signal, just with a somewhat different timbre.

I once arrived at a Tesla supercharger that was full and there were Teslas lining up, but there were 4 CCS high speed DC chargers right next to them and not a single one was taken. Thankfully I had the adapter and just used one of them.

Those connectors are a fucking bear to plug in though, and you usually have to try 3 times to get the charger-vehicle-payment dance to work.

Yes. I heard this about Shell recently. The key to this is that the big oil money is coming for this opportunity and it will soon be ceded to them entirely, unless someone goes after it. It’s a multifaceted problem of electrical engineering plus real estate plus supply chain plus marketing. Needs a real team with funding.
That theory sounds great. There's no such thing at the moment and maybe never. Lots of smart people have tried.

Just because that's what people want, doesn't mean we can produce it. I often talk to funding agencies about things like this. "We don't want to fund boring research, only what will give us the ultimate theory of how everything works". That's not how science or progress work.
Sure, most things are representable in a table. Its very tricky to get these things to perform well. Every query needs to have the additional filters/aggregations and every index needs to be smart and partial. E.g. you need all your indexes to be partial with a CREATE INDEX WHERE deleted_at = null for the deleted case as having a giant boolean filter can quickly include a large percentage of your data making the indexes useless.

I tried this once many years ago and it became quite a headache. Direct SQL access to the database to perform management queries outside your application becomes a headache too.
