I’m doing this with Quart on the python side and prisma for both (there’s a python prisma adapter! Crazy world) and I’ve been enjoying it. Biggest framework hurdle so far has been that next.js doesn’t have native support for Websockets, which is something you’re pretty likely to want if you’re bothering to run two full server processes. It’s not hard to implement them manually, but it isn’t as nice as just sticking everything on Socket.io.

Also, obviously, you should only do this if you have a really solid architectural vision for separating concerns; any requests that need to hit python naturally loose all of Next’s fancy optimizations for server<->client data passing, other than basic caching I guess. If you just want react itself, I’m pretty sure there are less framework/resource intensive ways to deliver SPAs and cut out the node server altogether - but that’s something of a guess.

Best of luck! The hardest part is remembering to switch between typescriptSyntax and python_syntax ;)
Lol, this is what they did in the USSR. It doesn't really work unless you trap people in this housing because those with means won't be interested, or will move out once they lived there and experienced living with "mixed income" people. That will make an average resident slightly worse to be around, rinse, repeat. It's not like the old failed public housing experiments failed because they didn't allow richer people to move in... Walter Williams auto-biography describes "the projects" in the 1950ies, when they were still decent public housing. With increased opportunity, people start moving out and the spiral begins.

That will be especially true in the US; given that the US is one of the most meritocratic countries, the non-immigrant US poor as a group are probably the least functional large socio-economic group anywhere in the world. I'd personally rather live next to some Haitians or refugees from Taliban than multi-generational American poor, urban or rural. But if you have a choice why live next to poor people at all?
Yeah, but that is for "internal consumption" and it doesn't affect any international relations, unlike "declaring war".

An interesting example is the U.S. which has been in a "state of war" (official term is "period of hostility") since 2001, a.k.a. "War on Terrorism" — and it still is! Which, by the way, gives a nice bonus of immediate citizenship for signing up for the military, without the need to wait for 5 years.
As opposed to, say, figuratively having a movie theater equivalent by resizing a virtual window to be very large (which you can also do).
It's interesting to watch these "talking points" bouncing around when there's a politically charged topic like the war in Gaza. (For reference: I have no skin in the game and support neither side.)

Having said that:

65% killed being women and children is because of the demographics of Gaza, not because of any specific behaviour by Israel other than just "being at war" with their neighbours.

It's a talking point used by a people supporting one of the two sides, blithely ignoring the realities of a complex situation.

The reality is that 50% of Gaza's adult population if female, and nearly 50% of their population is below the age of 18! In other words, their population is 75% "women and children".

In any other war, that 65% statistic would be a sign of deliberate and malicious targetting of innocent non-combatants. In the Gaza war it is the sad but usual level of collateral damage that one might expect in urban fighting. Not to mention that this number would be even lower, but is as high as it is because of human-shield tactics used by HAMAS.

The people that use this 65% statistic often do so with the knowledge that people listening to it don't know the demographics of Gaza or the vile actions of HAMAS. They're trying to convince those listening through deception. Their cause may be just in their eyes, but does that justify this kind of false debate? It's in the same category as claiming 500 people died when "Isreal bombed a hospital" mere minutes after the incident, which turned out to be a failed HAMAS rocket that landed in the parking lot and killed maybe half a dozen people.

Yes, what Isreal is doing is bad, but not "murdering women and babies on purpose" bad!
Pretty obvious difference between choosing to work towards the goals of a genocide and being threatened to pay taxes or have your property and wages seized...
> Are passkeys replacing passwords, 2FA, or both?

The minimum bar is replacing passwords with something more secure for the user.

If the site wants more specific factors or characteristics of authentication (such as a non-cloneable possession factor) then only some authenticators provide that today themselves. For someone using a synced software provider, they will need to do an additional step to meet this sort of requirement.

Factors aren't nearly as solid as they are made out to be - my SMS OTP is synched to all my devices, my TOTP keys come from a software implementation right alongside my password - which isn't a true knowledge factor because it was auto-generated for me. Password managers and other software have long put us on the path of sites leveraging externalized authentication processes and policies, similar to how they might do this explicitly by accepting federation.

> What if I created a passkey on some device, lost that device, and my passkeys aren't cloud-backed-up? Would I be able to recover my account, or it's doomed? Or does it depend on how a given website implemented it?

The syncing is meant to make it harder to lose the passkey. Sites still ultimately have to have a recovery process when someone does lose access.
How it works is a prosecutor must decide to take him to trial to find out if a law is broken. This is a journalist speculating. Even by their speculation it's not real.
That isnt the half of it. A quick skim of the documentation shows that the cpu inference wasnt done in a comparable way either.
If you think the goal of defeating Hamas justifies this amount of civilian killing yiu have no moral basis to argue with.
Depends on where you live. Parasites are utterly endemic in areas as close as a 30 minutes drive away from me. They are commonly found in patients of all ages, including otherwise normal functioning adults.

Depending on the epidemiology, testing a population is a waste of time and money. They have a very high chance of having the disease and a very high chance of reinfection even after treatment. So what happens is those patients come in every once in a while and they straight up ask for their periodic albendazole dose. And then they go back to their homes and they drink the exact same water and eat the exact same food.
Nonsense.

Peter Theil is scum. People who work for him are also scum. Evil has the ropes of society because evil worked harder at getting them and didn't learn the lesson about sharing in kindergarten.
The impression I get from their involvement at one company I know of is that it’s very much the latter. I was pretty surprised to see them behaving and performing about the same as any parasitic enterprise software vendor with an integration services arm. One wonders how different they really are, and if maybe they just have very good PR and marketing.

Chalk it up as yet another case of some famous one-would-suppose impressive entity, or strata of a company hierarchy, or whatever, turning out to be pretty average, or even below average. You’d think I’d stop being surprised by now.

Then again, maybe I was just seeing their B-team.
As someone who runs an IT services company, I can tell you how uncommon it is to find engineers who can both code really well, but also interact and sell to customers.

I always wondered why you needed BD / "business folk", but its rare to find the ability to schmooze with customers and hustle along with deep technical talent in the same individual.

So really surprising (and cool) to see how Palantir was able to do this with their FDEs!
They should have asked help from the community to clean it and maintain it properly.
Can you please elaborate? I find myself making up reasons why but I am certainly wrong.
What bothers me with drag and dropping epubs is that you can read it fine and annotate but I can't find the annotations online. I haven't even looked up exporting the annotations manually from the device because that is not my scenario.
This got me thinking, is this used in supply chain problems?

I have a first gen M1 and it holds up very nicely even today. I/O is crazy fast and high compute loads get done efficiently.

One can bury the machine and lose very little basic interactivity. That part users really like.

Frankly the only downside of the MacBook Air is the tiny storage. The 8GB RAM is actually enough most of the time. But general system storage with only 1/4 TB is cramped consistently.

Been thinking about sending the machine out to one of those upgrade shops...
Yes, but I'm not interested in those sorts of uses. I'm wondering what else an NPU could be used for. I don't know what an NPU actually is at a technical level, so I'm ignorant of the possibilities.
This is exactly what I thought TFA was getting at when it brought up politics being a problem at companies and in sectors Palantir engages with, but instead it went a much more general direction.

Sorry, my English is a bit weak. What is the meaning here? Did you buy shares post-IPO?
Just checked kobo sites due to original comment. The catalog may be smaller but now they (India store) have comparable book prices to kindle. The last time (many years back) I checked, books were not available in India.

I had first edition terrible keyboard kindle and have a paperwhite. It seems libra colour is still not available in India.
The lack of physical page turn buttons is a dealbreaker for me. I switched, begrudgingly at first from my oasis to a kobo libre colour and it’s much better. If you stick koreader on it you can even start a Linux shell from the ui which amuses me :)
That was all true nearly 10 years ago. And it has only improved. Almost any computer one finds these days is capable of the basics.
I was always bummed that my old house had the awnings removed before I bought it. A few of the same design in my neighborhood still had them and they were cool looking. I grew up in a house with awnings and loved them. It's one of those things that people remove in an attempt to 'freshen things up' and make it more 'modern' and kill the charm in the long run, and financially it doesn't make sense to rebuy them once they've been removed.
We're still looking for "that is useful".

The stuff they've been trying to sell AI to the public with is increasingly looking as absurd as every 1978 "you'll store your recipes on the home computer" argument.

AI text became a Human Centipede story: Start with a coherent 10-word sentence, let AI balloon it into five pages of flowery nonsense, send it to someone else, who has their AI smash it back down to 10 meaningful words.

Coding assistance, even as spicy autocorrect, is often a net negative as you have to plow through hallucinations and weird guesses as to what you want but lack the tools to explain to it.

Image generation is already heading rapidly into cringe territory, in part due to some very public social media operations. I can imagine your kids' kids in 2040 finding out they generated AI images in the 2020s and looking at them with the same embarrassment you'd see if they dug out your high-school emo fursona.

There might well be some more "closed-loop" AI applications that make sense. But are they going to be running on every desktop in the world? Or are they going to be mostly used in datacentres and purpose-built embedded devices?

I also wonder how well some of the models and techniques scale down. I know Microsoft pushed a minimum spec to promote a machine as Copilot-ready, but that seems like it's going to be "Vista Basic Ready" redux as people try to run tools designed for datacentres full of Quadro cards, or at least high-end GPUs, on their $299 HP laptop.
It's still in beta so we'll see how things go but I saw someone testing what Apple Intelligence ran on-device vs sent off to the "private secure cloud" and even stuff like text summaries were being sent to the cloud.
I just tried to use the demo website for live translation. The AI always responded in English, either ignoring my request to only respond in French or Lao, or preface the translation with english ("I can translate that to French. the translation is: ...").

I'm trying to use chatgpt for ai translation, but the other big problem I run into is TTS and SST on non-top 40 languages (e.g. lao). Facebook has a TTS library, but it isn't open for commercial use unfortunately.

There’s a LOT of similar apps in this space. But that doesn’t remove the interest - the backstory is key. And is it open in anyway? ~What voice engine are you using?~ (11labs I see - fall back to browser voice?). Why Make this and the other solitons didn’t meet this ?

The fact that there's a need for a tomsguide article on how to cancel proves my point.

No, I never found it.

But I do thank you for the tip! But I cancelled Disney for a reason - their shows were unappealing to me.

I'm about to cancel Apple TV too. Every time I see a show on it I'm interested in, it costs another $3.99.

This is a good post to explain the value proposition. It sounds like "Big Data" from the 1990s, but a very good salesperson was able to infiltrate some US gov orgs to sell the idea.
Thanks, I was confused for a bit. The 3b comparison with llma3.2 is useless. If I can't run it on my laptop, it's no longer comparable to open models.

I have my Calibre install setup with the content server feature which makes your Calibre library accessible to any device on the local network. I can then transfer the books to my Kobo by using the browser and hitting the content server's IP address.

I can't remember all the specifics of how I set it up and honestly i've not used it in a while because I used it to get all my old Kindle purchased books on (which was a lot) and i've not booted the docker container since.

Is this a reasonable work around/alternative or have I misunderstood? If so, I apologise. Oh also, I think I had to do some custom stuff with my Kobo as well to support this functionality, but I don't remember it being difficult. Got it all wrapped in an evening of tinkering.
Back when people were suspicious of buying things online, Amazon used to set a percentage in the low double digits, of revenue they assumed would be lost to refunds.

That allowed an amazing customer service experience, and immense trust: if there was an issue with your order that couldn’t be easily fixed, then we’re very sorry, and here’s your money back.

Both that program and the incentive for it are long gone.
AFAIK key insight into evolution is not randomness but rather sheer amount of compute. Specifically, evolution is a massively parallel flood algorithm that will try every single mutation. Barely any of them will have positive impact on organism fitness, but some will.
The provider. And yes, I negotiate.
I’ve known companies to spend stupid amounts of money on fake, fancy “war rooms” they staff with people doing nothing useful, filled with “big board” style maps and shit, big graphs and visualizations that aren’t used anywhere else, just as a sales tool. Walk the visiting CEO through, let them pretend what they’re involved in is way cooler and more interesting and important than it really is, and I guess that assists sales so much that such endeavors make way more money than they cost.

I connect this with comments I heard from several major management consulting firm folks stating bluntly that the best way to communicate effectively with execs is to approach them like young children.

Life is super weird. Who knew imaginative play would be such a big thing for “serious” adults? I’d never have imagined, but it’s kinda everywhere.
The problem is that Thiel himself clearly didn't understand the message of the novel. Quoting Ender's Game to justify genocide[1] fundamentally misinterprets the novel. Ender is horrified when he realizes he has been tricked into committing genocide and spends his life seeking redemption. Thiel on the other hand is bending over backwards to lie to the audience in order to justify the genocide.

Even before the genocide began, it was clear from how israeli officials repeatedly referenced Dresden that they viewed the bombing as a model for their actions—and that is precisely what they did. Thus, it is even more absurd for Thiel to claim that they "didn't Dresden Gaza." They did, and it is much worse and it still hasn't stopped after more than a year.

--and whether anyone is using your interactions with your computer to train a model.
This might suggest that they are plateauing. If you think your next model won't improve a lot, then you'll try to start earning from this current model. Luckily, we still have meta. llma3.2 is really good. and it runs on my laptop with a regular intel CPU.

The Aral Sea was the third largest lake in the world. Within the human time scale of the last six decades, it's lost 90% of its area.

People are talking about the issues opened on GitHub as 'trolling' but honestly the license Winamp chose is itself an insult. From the license text via the Internet Archive:

> The Winamp Collaborative License is a free, copyleft license

also from that license text:

> 5. Restrictions

> No Distribution of Modified Versions: You may not distribute modified versions of the software, whether in source or binary form.

Which means that the Winamp Collaborative License is neither free nor copyleft.

What copyleft actually is:

> Copyleft is a general method for making a program (or other work) free (in the sense of freedom, not “zero price”), and requiring all modified and extended versions of the program to be free as well.

https://www.gnu.org/licenses/copyleft.en.html

Releasing proprietary software is whatever. 'Shared source' and similar dilutions are one level of bullshit. Abusing and diluting the language of the free software movement is a step beyond that.

This kind of 'open-source' is actively harmful to an exceptional degree and absolutely deserves to drown in ridicule. A lot of the mocking issues were unfocused or low-effort, but I can't really complain about their function or intent.
According to Alan Kays 1971 description of Smalltalk:

“An object is a little computer that has its own memory, you send messages to it in order to tell it to do something. It can interact with other objects through messages in order to get that task done.”

Smalltalk concepts heavily informed the Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) tenets, e.g.

1. Services are autonomous - Cohesive single responsibility.

2. Services have explicit boundaries - Loosely coupled, owns its data and business rules.

Choosing good service boundaries is really crucial for a successful, resilient, maintainable system.

Been randomly thinking about it since this whole thing started, and beyond the drama it's clear that whether legal or not, Matt intends to use the trademark as a weapon to serve his purposes.

If you just look at the timeline and even that response to DHH it feels to me that he has much resentment against others using the software and him not being able to be the largest beneficiary of it. The examples to Shopify being a billion dollar whatever and unable to capture, to applying for the recent trademarks around "Wordpress Managed" and such show me that's how he views it in the end. You are using "Wordpress" software, so he should of course get a cut of that.

So many companies in the ecosystem have "WP" or "Wordpress Managed/Wordpress Hosting" as their tagline and have been for over the past decade. WPEngine is just the biggest target and the first in line. I have no soft spot for PE, but both can be bad in this case. I feel like Automattic is willing to burn the community to the ground or fracture it as long as they get their cut or become the the biggest player.

"Capturing value" I suppose.
Cloudflare willingly keeps CSAM and animal abuse sites online even when reported, the least they can do is cut IA a fat check every month.
Using your analogy, it's absolutely unknowable to bacteria, and therefore absolutely unknowable to us. Random is perhaps the most intellectually honest way of describing it, since it is widely accepted that randomness is a feature of relatively uncomplicated systems.
Rumors are that another round of voluntary layoffs are coming to Automattic today. I am optimistic for the future of WordPress because it looks less and less likely to involve Matt. Matt has created the ideal conditions for a fork to succeed: WordPress (the software) is a fixture of the internet, it is never going away no matter how much Matt sabotages it but Matt's control over it is not a foregone conclusion given all Matt really controls is the brand. The name and leadership may change, but WordPress will live on.
What does your OSS group have to do with this Winamp release, which was not OSS?
It makes more sense to me to just use the BeagleboneBlack in concert with the FPGA. Unless you have highly specific compute or data movement needs that can't be satisfied over a USB serial link. If you have those needs, and you need a laptop, I guess an FPGA makes sense but that's a teeny market.
