AI gets backpropagation whereas evolution is more like particle swarm optimization (pick a bunch of random values, then pick more random values near the ones that do best). Backpropagation is way better/faster since in expectation the gradient points toward a better set of weights, but it relies on a differentiable loss function.
> bond premiums

Does this mean you are buying bonds with a price greater than 100%? If yes, can you explain why? On the institutional side, there is an allergy to premium bonds; they only want to buy at par (100%) or less, so normally the coupon rate is adjusted just before issuance to meet their needs.
Preact with Vite works very fast and Preact seems like a good long-term solution for projects which will use the single-page application approach (React seems to move ever-closer to the server rendering approach).
Yeah the DHH post is an example or projection… Automattic is hosting a lot of WordPress sites but not making anywhere near as much money as the WP Engines and Go Daddy’s of the ecosystem. (And yet automattic contributes the most to the project.) So it’s definitely a point of frustration to the business.
Great stuff. Voice AI is great to run locally not just for privacy / access to personal data but also because of the low latency requirement. If there's a delay in conversation caused by a network call, it just feels weird, like an old satellite phone call.
For starters, it has a single list and not a "featured" list and "the list no one looks at".

Also, poroduct orders are randomized to ensure fairness and eliminate popularity contests.

And finally, no VC money that influences what visitors get to see on the home page. Simply cool products.
In Section 6, the author attempts to assess Palantir's moral standing, but the chosen categories—"neutral/good/gray"—reflect a biased framework. A more objective classification, like "neutral/good/bad," would have been more appropriate. This subtle shift raises questions about the methodology used to evaluate the company's ethical impact.

The introduction of "grey areas" as a distinct category seems to pre-emptively soften the possibility of negative judgments.
Me too. I admire the theory of Lisp, but man, all the Lisp folks going "but don't you get it, the absence of syntax IS the syntax!" don't half get tiring.

For some of us, we can just about handle the simple algebraic infix stuff, and we'll never make that leap to "my god, it's full of CARs".

But if the light is "warping" around the object then would you be able to grab the light from either side by intercepting it there? If you are at the X AU required for lending, but you sit at X/2 AU with some slight offset, you would be in the path of the light that would be traveling to X AU eventually.

> My company had blocked Ngrok

may I ask why?
Products with higher visibility will automatically get more upvotes, so even if you don't directly pay for upvotes, you indirectly do pay for upvotes.

If you let people pay to be featured, you'll always end up favouring those who pay. And if you didn't favour those who pay, why would people pay in the first place?

This is the big problem with all recommendation sites: The easiest way to monetize them is by charging vendors for visibility; so sooner or later all recommendation sites start recommending the most profitable products. High quality fair priced products don't have a chance, since they will always be outbid by someone who makes a cheaper product or charges more.

Presumably you have a GPU? If so there is nothing an NPU can do that a discrete GPU can’t (and it would be much slower than a recent GPU).

The real benefits are power efficiency and cost since they are built into the SoC which are not necessarily that useful on a desktop PC.
I understand your enthusiasm for passkeys and I think there are real benefits, especially for non-technical users. But likewise, there is also enthusiasm for the objectively more secure hardware tokens. Residential keys are a problem for hardware tokens.

So yes, we are living in different worlds. But what we all want is to migrate to more secure authentication methods. And pushing non-residential keys to the wayside just for the convenience of not needing to remember user names feels like a bad trade-off.
> OK, but again, people are telling me to take code I do not own the rights to, and to release it under an open source license.

Who is telling you that? Literally no one. In my original comment, the preservationist is NOT the author, as it's the author that is liable to be sued by releasing proprietary material.

In my comment, the preservationist is a third-party that should NOT be concerned with such matters, even if being forbidden by copyright law. Imagine the Internet Archive, which already operate this way, and I applaud, because the service they offer is better than if they had to respect all legal nonsense.

No one is telling you to do anything with YOUR code, and code you are legally liable for. No one is putting a pistol to your head, so I don't get why you are being so defensive to my admittedly unpopular opinion. Do whatever you want.
Fastdata: Library for generating synthetic data for training DL models
This is a good question and I have to admit that I have not thoroughly researched it. My understanding is that the original creators (Justin Frankel and Dmitry Boldyrev, later Nullsoft) the people who spoiled it (AOL) and the finder (Radionomy = Llama Group) are separate entities.

Most of the blame should be with the people who spoiled it, and while it doesn't excuse their deeds they are unsurprising from a historical context.

The current owners of Winamp share some blame too, but I see it more in the neglect of due diligence when they acquired Winamp and less in the release of the source. Arguably I see more incompetence (which, of course, is no defense against punishment) than malice in the later.

Finally, that the original authors kept the Winamp source clean is a reasonable and likely assumption, but as far as I know there is no 100% way to be sure.
In which country? What if the owner has passed?
Remember when Israel shot at that car with a family in it? Hind Rajab.

Or when they bombed refugee camps? Or when they told people to evacuate south and then bombed the Rafah border crossing so they couldn't escape?

Kalman filters are usually the way to go because for some cases it is mathematically proven that they are optimal, in the sense that they minimize the noise. About alternatives, not sure if people actually do this but I think Savitzky-Golay filters could be used for the same purpose.

For reference, I'm willing to accept every factual statement of the article: the doctor worked in Gaza, he saw many children with bullet wounds to the head or chest, many were single shots, etc...

A relative of mine is a nurse working in a hospital. I noticed a long time ago that her perspective on the statistics of illnesses is very skewed. She sees only very sick patients because -- duh -- she works in a hospital. Hence, she thinks every sniffle of her nephew is an emergency -- because she sees only emergency cases!

There are ~40K dead, ~100K wounded in Gaza by the war, of which half are children: about 70K child casualties of which 50K didn't die.

Parents and hospitals will prioritise children over adults. A child with multiple gunshot wounds will more than likely die on the spot and not be taken to hospital. A child with a single gunshot wound is more likely to cling to life long enough to make it into a hospital. In absolute terms, the few dozens cases mentioned in the article are just the inevitable statistics. I would be very surprised if doctors in Gaza had not treated many more such cases! I would expect a couple of hundred per hospital (there are only 32) at least.

To reiterate: None of this is in any way good, none of the children deserved any of this, and in no way is Israel innocent in the matter. It's just that it is the natural consequence of warfare in a high-density urban setting with that demo.
Probably they think more control is still better.
That already exists. Peers find each other through a distributed hash table which can be bootstrapped from a variety of sources.

I would say the problem is discoverability and actual deployment.

For suddenly popular files it can be a way to donate bandwidth most of all, because then there might suddenly be a lot of peers. For the vast majority of files however, there won't be any other peers and they have to be web seeded by Archive.org either way.

Then there's the discoverability problem. Ultimately you need something like a magnet link to connect to a swarm.
It's disappointing they stay below the B5/10" size range, and can't step up to a A4/13" which allows full right/left page display or magazine pages at 1:1 size display.

It's particularly frustrating for manga, which Amazon sells plenty, as it's common to have a full 2 page scene during the most intense parts of the story.

Same of course for many research PDFs with graphs and schemas that are just so much more legible near the A4 size.

That was my main use case for the iPad Pro, which can now be covered by the air as well. The Surface Pro line is also around 13". I think there's really no reason to shy away from the full A4 size, especially when people are ready to pay for the screen real estate.

"The third dimension won’t be orthogonal."

Are you sure? In a 3-D coordinate system all axes are orthogonal because they make 90 degrees angles with each other.

Edit: I see that you mean "cannot be drawn as orthogonal lines on paper." But, in reality they are orthogonal e.g., when I construct a 3-D model of a cube.

No, it's priced on demand and supply like anything else; bug bounties are priced to be the amount that Google thinks it takes to incentivise hunters to sell it to them, vs. to black hats.
I guess without /s people don't get the sarcasm these days.
> When it started deleting books i had side-loaded via calibre

This is news to me. All my kindle library is books side loaded via calibre. Then again, my kindle paperwhite is non stop in airplane mode so maybe this is a factor. In any case this is alarming and thanks for the feedback, I will read more about non-Amazon devices because of that.
I didn't complain, as such.

My original post in this trail described how I minimise the risk that I have to faf around because of the status quo, which also reduces the potential for my direct payment data leaking due to security snafus, in the absence of the virtual card option in my locale. The one you replied to questioned one point in your description, which seemed to suggest that being banned by a bad trader was a problem.

Though I'll grant that being blocked could be an issue if that merchant was the only supplier for something that you particularly need.
Because it’s one of the most prolific OSS projects on the web, and hosts more than 40% of websites (and that number was growing until a year or two ago)? It was pretty sensible when it was created compared to other CMSes of the day! So “never sensible” is probably an exaggeration, if even massive, massive sites like nasa.gov are using it.

But putting its merits to the side, people firstly love drama and love sharing their opinions about contentious situations. And secondly, hopefully there are lessons to be learned for other OSS projects and other founders about how NOT to handle this kind of situation.
To be clear, it is esbuild that bundles not vite.

esbuild index.js --bundle --outfile=build.cjs --format=cjs --platform=node

You can use pkg then to make this bundle executable.

pkg build.cjs

This is not vite. :-)
A good example are bicycle wheels made with ropes but if you think of it even of steel spokes as a single spoke by itself cannot maintain the structure and it all comes together when the spokes are tensionned.

Obviously a wheel is the easiest design you can build based on tension given its symmetric nature.

This video linked by another commenter explains it quite well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQFqDKRAROI

Basically, it's possible to generate an image of an exoplanet, but "retargeting" the telescope(s) to observe another object is not feasible. So you'd better make sure the target that the mission will focus upon is actually worth the attention it gets - but there are other planned telescopes that will be capable of generating data that will allow selecting potential candidates.
Thanks, so I won't use vite. Hot Module Realoading never worked reliable to me.
Some "micro cheating" are really easy to develop. When I was younger and a bit bored, I wrote my own "micro-cheat" in AutoIt[0] with less than 10 lines of code.

This was for the game counter-strike (I don't remember which version, either Source or early CSGO). The logic of the cheat was:

- I manually aim, with the sniper, close to the wall of an intersection
- I press a special key, then when the pixel at the center of the screen change, simulate input mouse click to "fire"

This was fun for maybe 1-2h, but the fun was more about the success of the project (from an idea to a working cheat) than getting some free kills while playing.

You could store all the data on the satellite, upload new code to process it differently, and download the resulting image. Then, the communications link just has to handle code (several MB up) and images (several MB down) instead of petabytes of data.

The launch mass of a petabyte of SSD is under 10 kg. I don't know if it would survive 17 years of space radiation though.

And the argument is pretty weak. It doesnt cost them much to introduce cryptographic backdoors. Once they have done this they have even more control. It is then also less effort, because you don't have to deal with a company (like WeChat) directly to spy on their customers.

I mean. It’s too early to say. If we’re talking raw traffic — the high profile enterprise sites have long term contracts. And it’s VERY hard to migrate hosting providers, let alone entire CMSes. So it will take a long period of enterprises not wanting to buy into WordPress for the traffic to die down.

Beyond that, which sides would move? Those owned by people who were invested in WordPress. Honestly, that’s probably not a super massive share of the websites. The random small businesses and individual people might not ever hear about this drama. It would take a while for new projects to stop getting built with WordPress.

So we won’t see that impact over the course of a couple weeks. Maybe several years.

But the community is way more about contributing to the core project (there are many hundreds of contributors in each release). With plenty of high profile ones leaving, it’s gonna be a blow to the project if good people don’t or can’t step up.

If it had worked for Chrome it should (and maybe would) have been a lot higher. Also: doesn't it use an extension?

I was under the impression that extensions were un-sandboxed and basically just executables I trust to run with the same privilege as the browser itself (which is a lot, at least under windows).
Why would the two not be entirely comparable? PyTorch may be slower at building the models; but once the model is compiled and loaded on the NPU, there's just not a whole lot of Python involved anymore. A few hundred CPU cycles to push the input data using python; a few hundred CPU cycles to receive the results using python. And everything in-between gets executed on the NPU.
These Kindles look great but I want to upload my own books.

I wonder if there is a way to do that safely, long term.
I got my Kindle before any ads were in play (its like a second generation?), and several years afterwards it started displaying ads. Thankfully a chat with amazon solved it because I wasnt in US, so the ads were not applicable to me, but I definetly did not have option to buy non-ad version when I bought it.
I actually don't believe so.

Not everything is priced on demand and supply -- at least not strictly.

Of course the potential of abuse is part of the equation, but I think Google (or similar large companies) simply has a guideline of how the amount of the bounty is decided, than surveying the market to see what its "actual value" is. It's not exactly a free market, at least not on Google's side.

In college, likely you subscribed your email (or they sneakily did it for you) as you went through your activities, like student government, on-campus jobs, signing up for classes in different departments, multiple extra curriculars, etc. If those are all designed to be their own entities, just sharing the same domain (and sometimes they're on subdomains), then each is likely claiming the right to susbcribe you to their own list.

Haven't played much with Qualcomm NPU but Apple Neural Engine available in iOS and MacOS for many Computer Vision models was significantly faster than when running on CPU or GPU (e.g. mediapipe models, yolo, depth-anything) - to the point that inference was much faster on Macbook M2 Max using its NPU that is the same as on older iPhones rather than executing on all 38 GPU cores.

This all depends on model architecture, conversions and tuning. Apple provides good tooling in XCode for benchmarking models up to execution time of single operators and where such operator got executed (CPU, GPU, NPU) in case couldn't been executed on NPU and have to fallback to CPU/GPU. Sometimes model have be tweaked to slightly different operator if it's not available in NPU. On top of that ML frameworks/runtimes such as ONNX/Pytorch/TensorflowLite sometimes don't implement all operators in CoreML or MPS.

that's not entirely true: if you look at the manifest on the github repo you can see that it only requires the `tab` permission, which, when installed, will make the extension seem quite safe, since it should not have access to the content of your pages
