There's an interesting parallel to Blender of 10 years ago, which was absolutely hostile to user onboarding. Could only be operated by memorising lists of keyboard shortcuts, and the forums were just a wall of "git gud"...

Then around Blender 2.8 they finally re-designed the entire UI, and ever since then it's been steadily gaining adoption among 3D artists.
It could be that the wow factor of ai/ml/data/whatever came about because of these examples like Zappos increasing sales 1% because of changing the colour of the website or Netflix making better recommendations and ever since then that has kind of set the expectation. Both of those were great examples of what to do with data and algorithms but there's a catch, neither is really tailored to the individual in a way that it will consistently work over time. Netflix recommendations work because you will eventually pick something to watch and they increase the likelihood that you like what you pick. It works the other way too , knowing what people like helps them decide what new shows to make. But the only way they know this is that your profile matches a set of profiles. And this aggregate way of doing things will always have too much variance to be able to consistently be applied to an individual because different people are different even when they are similar. This is the ultimate conclusion that foundation model people have come to, at least implicitly, as they hope that by putting all data available such as the entire internet they will arrive at a combination of things that will consistently meet everyone's needs on demand whatever they may be. But the complexity of life is still higher than that and people are quick to notice when things are being averaged and then served to them.
> My experience driving in rural France was that nearly every intersection was a roundabout and it slowed things down dramatically. [..] Surely one of the two directions is more used and a couple of putting stop signs the other way would make more sense.

Yes, that is by design. Slowing traffic down, also in relatively low-traffic areas, is one of the use-cases for roundabouts in France. Mostly around villages and/or industrial areas.
Obviously that comes with a lot of caveats: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Re...
Ugh, every few months this; clueless people trying to try to get us into a worse situation. Why is this not a veto-able thing unlike other EU things? I am actually not for veto rights in most cases, however, as Orban tends to veto everything nice, it would be nice if that can happen here too.
"Boohoo Nintendo is evil for not allowing me to pirate their current console and games" is such a ridiculous rationale, and I think it is very much counter productive to game preservation.

Once people started emulating their current console, Nintendo should absolutely use every legal mean to shut it down, and the awful copyright laws we have in place results in an outreach. More than any other company, they live and die by their IP, which is extremely valuable. What exactly people expected Nintendo to do?

The emulation scene had been going strong for a long time, but it was always older generation consoles being emulated, games that were not supported anymore, etc. The morons that went for current games, "emulating" (actually pirating) games that were recently released, and so on are the ones threatening all of that. Nintendo is far from wrong.

And I say all this as someone that loves emulation. I am a retro gamer at heart, even if I also play some contemporary stuff. Obviously I am someone that thinks game preservation is important.

I also hate copyright laws as they are. IMO, the laws should allow distribution of old games (and by old I mean 20+ years), and be clearer on what constitutes fair use.

Oh well.

It’s wildly impressive that we can make something like that, but it’s not really worth listening.

I was offered a job by a large ed tech company that has all sorts of data including parent teacher communications, grades, hourly attendance, etc. For millions of students enrolled in k12 programs in the USA. I initially accepted but then they wanted me to build an early warning system to predict whether a student would have a behavioural problem on the next day. I quit because I do not find it moral to build panopticons for children. But I'm sure they found someone to replace me.
I feel like you can say the same about every sort of prompt manipulation attacks, but they’re still around.
If that's the case there's libsql (https://github.com/tursodatabase/libsql) which already provides HTTP clients, embedded replicas (essentially good old SQLite but with replication support), self-hosted SQLite server and is maintained by a company using it for their own product.
For starters, I didn't choose the name, but rather those who trained it.
Second, what's the point of training lang-specific LLMs and giving it a name using a word nobody uses in practice?

Unless you want to make it sound more human; a pretentious know-it-all human that is.

Ecclesiastes (Qohelet)

As I became a teen my reading became varied thankfully and I came across this book at a time when nothing felt important.

When all feels lost and nothing matters, Ecclesiastes is great for giving a view into what’s it’s like to grapple with the questions of happiness, life and humanity in a way that doesn’t end in your own depression and suicide.

The author finds his reason and method for living. We all must do the same.

If you like libraries like this, and you're ever in the area, I can highly recommend the Herzog August Bibliothek in Wolfenbüttel, Germany.

Crazy amount of incredibly rare books and manuscripts that you can actually look at. For many you will need to wear gloves and may have someone hovering over you, but it's worth it. Some absolutely mind blowing material in that library!

The City and the Stars, Arthur C. Clarke.

I also grew up with three full-sized bookcases mostly filled with all sorts of sci-fi and adventures by my granddad. But when I think of a book, this one always comes to mind first.

Unlike other sci-fi I’ve read before it, this novel had this out-of-usual-limits existential mystery and background dread, mostly unresolvable by its very nature and built into the plot almost immediately so that you have to re-realize it, as if you were at a therapist. I’ve read books with galactic wars, dark corners of space, empires, horrors, strange alien encounters, but only this one touched me so deep.

From non-fiction, it was “from basic to assembly” (noname, can’t find it) and few years later some 80386 system programming manual. I remember another book on assembly in between, it was dark blue.
Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality is splendid. Some of the most vigorous writing I've ever encountered. I agree, it is highly recommended.
I predict that many of those people will continue to believe that up until human cognition is mechanistically understood, at which point there will be some other reason that humans are "real" thinkers and machines are not. The problem is that theoretical opposition to the existence of AIs is incompatible with materialism and thus just doesn't fit with our world, which is very much built using the scientific truths that materialism enables us to discover.
Again only consumer side knowledge but there's clearly very wide degree of variance Navi 31 just from all the models it's used on, as I doubt they're puposefully cutting the silicon that much without the parts already being unusable for more expensive gpus.

It goes from a 7900 GRE, 7900 xt to a 7900 XTX with roughly a fifth of the processing unavailable on the lowest tier compared to highest.
Then from what I know from overclocking communities the different 7900 XTXs also vary up to over 10% when on the same 550w bios. It's probably more apparent when going over that power limit but that requires hardware modding and people aren't doing that on low tier bins and there isn't as much data.
> that are nothing even remotely close to systems programming

This is unnecessary gatekeeping. It also shows your lack of perspective. Or, rather, your lack of imagining other perspectives, probably.

Sure, rust is primarily a language aimed at systems programming. But it also is so much more (and also a cult).

* Its type system is excellent. Especially the lack of a "null". Even if, like me, you're fine with a GC, the type system alone is worth dealing with this insistent borrow-checker.

* Its multithreading is stellar. The borrow checker helps a lot in making it such.

* Its mutable/immutable model is highly practical. It's what makes the threading stellar and the type system more useful than in any other language I worked with.

* Its "oop" model is uncomfortable at first (coming from Ruby and Java) but forcing the "composition over inheritance" by not having inheritance is probably the best thing that can happen to "OOP". Every solution where I used inheritance, I shouldn't have.

* Its culture of "making the good way the easy way", being opinionated, and a community that adheres to this, is worth dealing with a thousand borrow-checker WTFs. cargo fmt, clippy, etc.

* Its build system that generates binaries that can just be "plopped" onto a server, "chmod +x" -ed, and ran is unprecedented.

I come from Ruby, Java, Javascript (typescript). I do a lot of Python, maintain some go services, have decades of PHP under the belt and occasionally dabble in some C and even C++. I can find my way around in a C# codebase and Objective-C.
All have their strengths and weaknesses. Their place and use-cases.

But rust, for me, is the only "ecosystem" that ticks all checkboxes in nearly all situations. It has downsides, and I consider the borrow-checker to be one of them in a lot of my use-cases, but it's something I'm willing to deal with gladly, because rust's other benefits.
Currently i use the single band from apple, and two 3d printed parts with a homemade band. The extra band split a lot weight from cheek. I tried several options, this is the most comfortable one.
I'd say this is newsworthy only due to Halo's history.

Back when Halo 1 was launched, it was one of the first games to use dynamic octree subdivision on height maps combined with indoor portals, which meant it was superior to the Unreal Engine w.r.t. large landscapes with caves at the time. By now, of course, all other game engines can render similar landscapes. And that's why the original USP of the Halo engine is now moot.

It breaks poems, code, ascii art, emails, man page, and probably much more that I can't think of. It is only the right choice for plain text books. But you are right in that Safari on iPhone should choose a behaviour, and it will be bad for some things, since plain text is used for a wide variety of things.

To be noted, on windows + touchpad, you have 2 different zooms (in Edge and in Firefox at least): a font zoom and a pinch zoom. So on notebooks, both fixed-length text files, and both book type text files are readable.

It's set up like this - busy avenue with lanes (left to right) 1, 2, and 3 enter into roundabout with circles (inner to outer) A, B, and C. The problem is that half way around the circle, where the avenue continues, A, B, and C then have lines indicating that you can either continue on the circle or move in a perpendicular direction to the circle and exit back such like this A -> 1, B -> 2, and C -> 3. And that's what everyone does. The problem is If someone from C is going around the circle, they're going to t-bone anyone going A -> 1 or B -> 2, and there's no moment to prepare because A or B is going to be suddenly cutting in front of them.

Or to visualize it another way - if you can image those intersections where there are two right turn only lanes, and one lane to the left of them that's right turn or go straight. Now imagine if all three lanes were right turn or go straight, and everyone made right turns - but if someone in the far right lane is going straight, they're plowing into the cars turning in the other two lanes.

After years they eventually fixed it and made the two outer circle lanes right turn only, which is what they should have done at the beginning. But even there they screwed up, because there's a street that enters the circle right after the right turn only signs, so if someone is entering from that direction and isn't familiar with the circle it's possible for them to ram into the other cars.

Analogous would be calling the USA “Texas”.

> Which basically proves Nintendo has little to no moat apart from laws preventing their executables from being run elsewhere.

That would cause foreign countries to also ignore copyright held by US companies. Copyright laws only work as well as they do because all countries that matter sort of play by the same rules.
No mention of the relevant politics? AM radio is talk radio, the home of the strongest political opinions. AM radio targets a narrow demographic: those with enough money to own a car and drive to work, but not sophisticated/rich enough to pay for streaming services. The protection of AM also rings true with the older generation who wish to slow or reverse the pace of technological change. I realize that HN attempts to avoid politics but this is a solidly partisan issue and part of the larger "culture war".
It seems you posit taglessness to be a universal crucial merit of any encoding scheme. This is good in an ideal world, heh.

I have had a misfortune to work for 5G which is full of PER-encoded protocols. Dealing with discrepancies in them - incompatible changes in 3GPP standard versions, different vendorsʼ errors, combined with usually low level of developers and managers in a typical corporation - was an utter nightmare.

IETF, in general, provides a good policy combining truly fixed binary protocols when they are unavoidable (IP/TCP/UDP levels) and flexible, often text, protocols where there is no substantial overhead from their use. Their early moves, well, suffered from over-grammaticalization (as RFC822). CBOR is nice here because it combines tagness and compactness. 3-bit basic tag combined with value (if fit) or length, it is commensurable with OER in efficiency but is decodable without scheme - and it is extremely useful in practice.
How a Gas Compressor Station Works
You can’t gain insight by finding the most statistically likely next token.

The whole point of grand innovations is that they took years of focus on something not very likely.

Like the iPhone. In the 90s could you imagine electronics that literally everyone had in their pocket with _almost no buttons_. Or in the 70s, could u imagine everyone having their own personal computer?

Even in star trek, communicators had buttons.

Unfortunately the article doesn't mention compression, because this is where it gets really ugly (especially with range requests), because IIRC the content-size reported in http responses and the range defined in range requests are on the compressed data, but at least in browsers you only get the uncompressed data back and don't even have access to the compressed data.

Wonder what the EU laws are on this, as for example also things as game mechanics/features are not something you can register in the EU. So I assume they can't really block Emulation there.

> but as an alternative against Python it gets muddier

For me, a clear advantage of rust (and also Go) over Python (or Ruby, or PHP) is not having to deal with runtimes.
With Python, the server needs all sorts of setup. Exactly the right version and configuration of the runtime. Pip. Or Pipenv. Or Pyenv. Or Conda. Or... and so on. Then it needs the libraries installed. Some of which must be built natively; so just packaging them in some CI is often not even possible. These native builds need lib-something-dev packages.
Then with an update of the underlying server, suddenly nothing works anymore.

Having a single binary that I can plop onto almost every linux box and which "just runs" regardless of the exact version of Ubuntu, cargo, rust-toolchain on the server/hosting machine is invaluable.
I'm so done with maintaining the fragile card-house that my Ruby-on-rails apps require, or that my python/flask services need, that my nodejs insists upon: with rust this is no longer needed.

And yes, docker/containerization is a solution to it. And yes, I know about the options to package up a python app with runtime included. But all that adds extra complexity. It merely makes it easier sometimes. Not simpler. And it inevitably makes troubleshooting, upgrading, etc even harder in some future.
I think they mean that people in large groups segregate themselves into smaller ones, by whatever characteristics available. If they had the same religion they’d be separated into orthodox and progressive versions of it, or people who had come off well out of the last great flood vs people who got screwed by it. And then they’d create a religion as explanation for the flood and why it was from god/the devil.
