Ah apologies I misread the architecture. But it does fit the spirit of finding disproportionately higher performance in smaller networks. Still promises of finding smaller sub networks. Running on mediocre mobile devices doesn’t seem a dream when stuff like this is released. Exciting!
It’s not about having ads, it’s about how they are served, completely ruining the experience.
Is anyone doing a local Copilot? What's your setup? Is it competitive with Github Copilot?

I just that realized my 32 GB Mac M2 Max Studio is pretty good at running relatively large models using Ollama. And there's the Continue.dev VS Code plugin that can use it, but I feel that the suggested defaults aren't very optimal for this config.
They brought up religion, please don't do that let's stick to reality.
Sacramento in California has a truly fantastic railway museum and one of the exhibits is an old dining car you can walk through where each table is set with branded crockery from a different historic American rail operator.

Year 0? I thought Petra was much much older than that.

If year 0 is correct, these people were buried long after Petra was a bustling city then?
One can go to what seems to be infinite lengths, in terms of time, effort, and attention, caring about their health (in general). I’ve always wondered whether it is worth it.
> but by the time you add all of the feature requests they complain that it’s too expensive.

Or that it’s too complicated. Then another startup comes along to “simplify” the product and the cycle begins anew.
More than a dash. I would describe Project Euler as math problems that you need a computer to solve.
I think it changes the nature of this technique from a cheap simple trick – just one low-precision matmul – to a less general, many times more expensive, more complex computation.

To me that starts to feel wasteful, even if GPUs can churn through that anyway. If you're merely implementing a color tweak in a game you can come up with plenty of simpler formulas that look nice.

I've written oklab and okhsl implementations — that cube amplifies errors greatly. The full-precision cbrt makes it definitely a one-way thing for real-time graphics.
Ask HN: AgeTech Cofounders
I'm registered with Startup School Co-Founder Match. I've seen countless profiles, and no one has the background and interest for working with the increasing elderly population. Any other sites to find potential AgeTech co-founders?
People still do this? I don't think I've seen a Windows server used as a VPN concentrator for about 20 years.
Sorry, I was thinking outside the whole corporate tax system. Tax stuff as it is sold, like gas taxes happen at point-of-sale.

I suspect subsidies and corporate taxes and the rest are a convoluted mess that might not serve people as well.
> not, you know, physical address

White pages had physical address too.

In practice, even today without published phone directories, lookup from name to address is readily accomplished from public records.

If you have put in the effort to avoid all of those vectors, then it's equally possible to use a safe address for your FCC registration.
I know this spoils the fun but couldn’t u just ask an AI to write your language engine?

Edit: based on my -2 karma, some of you guys don’t sound very open minded.
> Feel free to statically link it

Actually, please don't. There's a nontrivial chance that you'll ship a copy with bugs that somebody wants to fix.

Instead, to get ALL the advantages of static linking with none of the downsides, what you should do is:

* dynamically link, shipping a copy of the library alongside the binary

This allows the user to find a newer build of the same-version library. It's also much less likely to be illegal (not that anybody cares about laws).

* use rpath to load the library

Remember: rpath is NOT a security hole in general. The only time that can happen is if it is both a privileged program (setuid, setcap, etc.) and it contains a non-owner-writable path, neither of which is likely to happen for the kind of software people complain about shipping.

* do not use dlopen, please

`dlopen` works well for plugins, but terribly for actually-needed dependencies.
Aiphoria
Outpaced by Chinese innovation in software. Greeting the owners kids by name when they climb in sounds like a little thing but in terms of car features is revolutionary. China can do that. The rest of the car companies in the world cannot.
> There are other challenges too (what do you do when you drop off your cargo and the airship wants to shoot up into the air? Vent gas? Rapidly compress your gas?)

Not to detract from your overall point, but you do the same thing you do when burning fuel while cruising: Add ballast.

Yes, but how do you add ballast to an airship while it is underway? Simple: condense water out of the exhaust like the zeppelins did.
I mean, shoot me down here, but is it that bad of an idea?

If you're going to have an assistant or a taxi driver, and you start off at the base position of "AI is totally unreliable", then having a fully remote gig-worker remotely piloting your robot...

I mean, it doesn't seem like a massive stretch from what Uber does.

...and heck, having a 'remote robot body' is pretty cool tech.

I guess. As long as you don't use it to pretend its just AI for the meaningless purposes of generating hype about your AI that really isn't actually any good.
We've been spoiled, walking over the puddle isn't particularly interesting anymore :)

But in all seriousness, things like electricity or the atom are more interesting discoveries than a guy misjudging the size of the Earth and being lucky enough to not die halfway through his voyage paid for by two monarchs who just so happened to be looking for new enterprises to invest in.
I don’t get why more people don’t use Brave. It literally blocks all of these annoying things (not only ads) on mobile and desktop and it’s very easy to disable all the crap they add to make money (although I do feel bad and actually writing this made me think to donate if that is an option). Brave search is 80% as good as Google’s too.
The execution units are fully pipelined, so although the latency is four cycles, you can receive one result every cycle from each of the execution units.

For a Zen 5 core, that means 16 double precision FMAs per cycle using AVX 512, so 80gflop per core at 5ghz, or twice that using fp32
> What would happen if you included the volume of the containers required to safely house it?

Immensely more manageable than e.g. toxic, radioactive coal ash [1]. TL; DR Spent fuel isn't a real problem. We dispose of tonnes of similarly-nasty stuff every day without mention. (And unlike with radiation, it's difficult to indpendently check chemical toxicity.)

Artificial artificial intelligence.
I’ve seen feathers but not poo except maybe on the rarest of instances.
I think if you frame thoughts as the biochemical product of a set of neuron activations, then maybe the answer is no, there cannot be an infinite possible many thoughts because biochemical reactions can be deterministic, and stable biochemical reactions don’t have more than a few end states.

But maybe the answer could be yes, if the question is considered using a quantum chemistry framework, where thoughts and thinking are modeled using quantum mechanics. It’s an interesting question.
Do please note that I never said all Christians. But the label Christian does include you and tens of millions of people who think that the universe is 5,000 years old and that at some point in Real History there was a talking snake and fruit that altered consciousness for the rest of all history. If you need help finding such people do a search for young Earth creationist and a note that they routinely publish best-selling books and have their own churches, their own podcasts, and their own documentaries. But most relevant to this conversation they have their own politicians and lobbyists, many of them.

So anytime you bring up your religion I can't tell which end of this gradient you're on. And it's also a gradient that you're choosing to be on and a gradient that you're choosing to bring up.

If you don't think the fantastical elements matter then don't bring them up and don't defend them. If you do think of the elements matter, then I humbly request evidence and will change my mind when you present it. If you want to discuss reality then we can do that without any religion being involved, and that is sort of what the laws of most reasonable places demand when making policy. And if you think that the Fantastical parts of religion haven't impacted law in your area than either you're a very lucky person and don't live in any country I'm aware of or you simply haven't realized how much religion has made your country worse.
Flu may not be too dangerous in people who aren't elderly but it still sucks. Can a non-elderly, not in any other high risk group, person get seasonal flu vaccination in Europe if they ask for it, and is it covered by European health care systems?
Completely anecdotal but my gums flare up and just feel disgusting when I don't floss for too long.

I don't do the dentist recommended 2/week but if I stop flossing for over a month I notice significant decrease in my gum health. It becomes excruciatingly painful to brush and this stage and my mouth is full of blood afterwards.

So I'm sticking to flossing pretty often now.
My doctor did. My blood pressure was slightly elevated in his office and I said it happens at every doctor. He said to get a home monitor, test 3 times in the morning, 3 times in the afternoon for a week and bring in the results at the next appt.
Yup. A hard science degree won't automatically point to someone gifted in the technical space, but it's a very helpful indicator that they have the aptitude.
Don't get me wrong I think this guy's idea is incredibly stupid. But, have you ever operated a mower? They're not fast. A few hundred ms of latency on a mower is no problem at all.
> Even your reply here is condescending, good god.

Because you keep phrasing things as if wrong and condescending are the same, and it makes it annoying to respond to your claims.

> The problem is you making the assumption that people wanting to use their phone at a restaurant are suffering from addition.

> That's the claim you need to support.

I don't need to cite phone studies when I can counter your main argument.

You made an extremely general argument that I'm wrong if I say any preferences a bunch of people have are making them unhappy. I made extra sure you were doubling down and making a claim so strong.

And addiction disproves it.

If you want to go back to just dinner, you need to make a new argument that isn't entirely based on whether you think I'm condescending. And at this point I don't have much patience or belief you'll actually listen to me.

If you do want to agree with me that yes lots of people have immediate preferences that make them unhappy after a few hours, but you think phones at dinner are an exception to that, then I guess we could talk about why you think that, and I'm open to hearing why.

But any argument that says people are always right about what they want? Nah.

I don't think I need to build a ground-up argument that only applies to phones. It's an instance of a more general problem: people are not always good at planning and impulses. If you object to the general argument, then I only need to disprove your objection.

> Yes, I'm sure that was the reason.

If you won't believe me then there's not much I can do, but it's true. I've had people ignore a critical part of my argument over and over. If someone misquotes me, I will point it out.

By the way, do you have a reason you kept misquoting my argument? I feel like you should have to defend that instead just attacking me for correcting you.
That value is unlikely to be significantly different than safe takeoff conditions. Yes the booster is lighter at landing, but launch is way more dangerous with larger error margins and more conservative condition requirements.
> but it doesn't prevent you from making all of those accounts say you are the CEO/CTO of some company unfortunately

At least a GitHub profile link can usually be used to validate that this account actually has write access to a GitHub organization, so you can somewhat see it's the right person. Requires them to have pushed any public commits to within that organization though.

You may already know this but Heinlein wrote about waldos pretty early, incorporating it into several stories and books.
I recently dug up my old iPod Nano 5th gen (small square one) from 2010 and charged it up, and still works fine.

What I forgot, and it totally surprised me, is that it has FM radio! I selected some stations and it worked great. And that Nano was tiny, would be cool to have this feature back in current iPhones / Apple Watches. I know it’s not the same as having full tx/rx on the 2m/70cm bands, but still, even just just listening to normal radio on iPhone would be cool.
Payload has an e-commerce template, but it definitely pales in comparison to WooCommerce. I can't speak to specifics, but if I were looking to migrate away from WooCommerce, I'd look at MedusaJS (http://medusajs.com)
I don't follow the hype to close, but I guess the early models were trained on data that was classified by underpaid 3rd world workers en masse.
Today you could use your yesterdays model to classify the data for you and build from that. Heck, you can even create a synthetic data with current tech.
We have a person who is 'Batman' to triage production issues. Generally they'll pick up smaller sprint tasks. It rotates every week. It's still stuff from the team so they aren't doing stuff unknown (or if they are, it's likely they'll work on it soon).

The aim is generally not to provide a perfect fix but an MVP fix and raise tickets in the queue for regular planning.

It rotates round every week or so.

My company's not very devops so it's not on-call, but it's 'point of contact'.

I've read about saunas, and studies were saying people who spent 19 minutes, 4-7 days a week in a 174F sauna had a 66% less chance of dying from all causes.

And then marketing people tried conflating IR saunas with conventional saunas, which nobody has studied and might not have the same efficacy.

I don't know either but I suspect hot air, especially in the lungs is a big part of the mechanism.
> You are streaming video at the same time, so there's no point in worrying about idling.

I'd argue it's completely opposite of this. You're streaming video, already putting some significant stress on the system. No reason to waste time (even if it's a minuscule amount) to make things worse.

> Striving for "doing things right" when the wrong thing is perfectly appropriate would be a bad example.

And that's how we ended with e.g. modern IoT that kinda sorta works but accumulation of minor bad decisions (and some less minor bad decisions for sure) ends up making the whole thing a hot mess.
no thanks for me. I wont stop you from paying them out of your own pocket.

This is a wacky idea, but the "modern" thing to do would be to repurpose seldom used 2-meter repeaters and make them 5G gNBs in the 3300 to 3450 MHz ham band (which overlaps NR band 78). Then you could directly use your cell phone (with a different SIM card) as your ham radio.

Network gaming servers to the gNBs and every kid in the US will want a ham license.

As someone who actually has run at-least-15-year-old binaries (though admittedly not x11 ones for my use case), I can strongly state the following advice:

* do not use static linking for libc, and probably not for other libraries either

C-level ABI is not the only interface between parts of a program. There are also other things like e.g. well-known filepaths, and the format of those can change. A statically-linked program has no way to work across a break, whereas a dynamically-linked one (many important libraries have not broken SOVERSION in all that time) will know how to deal with the actual modern system layout.

During my tests, all the statically-linked programs I tried from that era crashed immediately. All the dynamically-linked ones worked with no trouble.

Sure, but I just mean that if you put all the nuclear waste into a pool-sized container, is there not a chance that it would go critical without safe housing and separation?

yes, operating any kind of heavy machinery over a shaky wireless WAN with hundreds of milliseconds of latency and multiple percentage packet loss is, in fact, a bad idea

Impossible to assess. These things happened, but as a chemistry experiment. You'd need to be some sort of $Diety to track the individiual atoms in the solution and judge the alternatives.

NATO was defeated in Afghanistan and humiliated in northern Syria. Bringing in them into Ukraine not going to do anything other than further antagonize Russia. You can dig around what really happen during the last days of Kabul flee (hint, way worst than what reported on the mass media). To date, Russians weapon production are easily at 6x more than entire NATO combined (even if you add in Hungary and Turkey). With China supplying, that numbers unofficially up to 20x. The entire Ukraine population now is maybe about 1/5 of 2021. NATO is weak on battle field (remember their economies now out of cheap Russian oil and cheap Chinese green tech). The correct chess moves for NATO is to get Ukraine negotiate a peace truce with Russia. Had they ignore BoJo back then, at least 500K Ukrainians would be alive today and they get to keep their only route to sea. Now? Pretty much gameover for them. 2 generations of men gone. Best of the best lands 100% gone. Russians planning to seal off Ukraine as land-lock and willing to fight another 20 years at US-Afghan level to render Ukraine as a former country. Good luck. Got time read Sun Tzu. Winning battles on the nego table is always the better option than to render country-cide. American idealism of revolutionary independence war is very rare in history and not practical today especially world most powerful army as neighbor and enemy. Ukrainians failed to read that book and have to pay for the price deary.

NextJS instead of templates. Full-featured admin area. I'd say Payload is more akin to Wagtail than Django itself. It feels ridiculously modern compared to other CMSes I've touched, Wagtail included. Payload doesn't prescribe i18n like Django.

"Mirror"? Maybe?

I'd argue that what WPEngine sells (rents?) is perhaps closer to a "distro" in the Redhat/Ubuntu/Arch/whatever sense.

They use WordPress core the way Ubuntu uses the Linux kernel. They use the GPL themes/plugins the way they use all the gnu utils. They use paid/pro plugins and themes like Ubuntu uses restricted and multiverse repos. If they feel the need, they can customise the kernel/core within the restrictions and obligations of the GPL however they choose to.

And WPEngine then wrap WordPress core in a whole bunch of what they and their customers consider "value add". Easy and automated backup/restore, one click dev/staging versions of the site and the ability to promote those into production when desired, automated provisioning and renewal of ssl certs, curated plugin backlists, monitoring and affected customer notifications of security updates across 3rd party plugin/themes as well as core, platform level WordPress specific optimisation, managed OS and web server and database security patching and updates. And like RedHat, they provide a "single neck to tread on" when something goes badly wrong: a support department that's both experienced and capable of solving pretty much any WP disaster 24x7, with a platform that can quickly and easily use to provide the needed help, and a pre existing business/financial relationship so both sides of that disaster and recovery are at least partially coincident it'll be charged and paid fairly and promptly.

For every single one of our WP clients, all that value add is totally worth the price jump from $5/month on GoDaddy et al. to $25/month of WPEngine. And for us, WPEngine has a better offering for what we value than wordpress.com.
