FolderSync with which protocol?

The main reason I use Syncthing is not to use Dropbox for sensitive stuff, which I also use since it's on-demand mobile sync is way better.
That's something I completely support. There's a limit and that site crosses it.
I guess the inefficiency is obvious to many, it's just a matter of time until something like this will come out. and yeah, as others said, you might lose info a-to-b that's needed for b-to-c, but you gain more in predictability/customization
One of the sections ("Blind Leading the Blind") is about the blog post author asking an AI whether the OSI board had expertise in AI , and him being shocked by the answer that they do not.

In all fairness, asking the same AI the same question right now produces:

-----

Based on the search results provided, there is no explicit mention of any Open Source Initiative (OSI) team or board members claiming expertise in Artificial Intelligence. However, there are a few relevant points to note:

1. The OSI has been actively involved in initiatives related to AI, particularly in developing an Open Source AI Definition (OSAID)[1][3]. This suggests that the organization is engaging with AI-related topics, even if individual expertise is not specified.

2. The OSI board includes members with diverse backgrounds, and they are working with external experts on AI-related projects. For example, Sayeed Choudhury, an OSI board member, is leading the Open Forum for AI (OFAI) initiative at Carnegie Mellon University[1].

3. The OSI has collaborated with various stakeholders, including AI experts from organizations like Mozilla Foundation, Google, Microsoft, Hugging Face, and others, in the process of developing the Open Source AI Definition[3]. This indicates that while OSI may not have internal AI experts, they are actively engaging with AI professionals from other organizations.

4. The OSI has organized events, webinars, and podcasts featuring experts discussing AI-related topics[3]. This suggests that the organization is committed to understanding and addressing AI issues, even if they may not have in-house AI expertise.

While the OSI is clearly involved in AI-related initiatives, the search results do not provide specific information about individual OSI team or board members claiming expertise in Artificial Intelligence. The organization appears to be leveraging external expertise and collaborations to address AI-related challenges in the context of open source software.

I, for one, have no issue with the board of an organization getting external expertise for topics that they believe such external input is needed.
Other than the word “language”, programming languages and natural languages really have very little in common.

Anecdotally, when I write code, I don’t “talk in my head”. The structures that I have in my brain are in fact difficult to put into words, and I can only vaguely describe them as interconnected 3D shapes evolving over time, or even just “feelings” and “instincts” in some cases.

The code that comes out of that process does not, in fact, describe the process fully, even though it describes exactly what the computer should do. That’s why reading someone else’s code can be so difficult - you are accessing just the end product of their thinking process, without seeing the process itself.
It's stated in the post. They do not think F-Droid provides enough distribution because it's not as popular as Google Play.
Those people have trained very deliberately over years to reach that level of performance, on top of an innate genetic disposition.

Undoubtedly, in absolute terms they have a higher capacity to withstand the negative physical effects of psychosocial stress as described in the paper, precisely because of these physiological adaptations.

If regular people trained themselves to deal with stress then they would have a higher capacity too.

The paper is referring to the maximum capacity of a particular organism at a particular moment in time. It doesn't assert that the capacity is uniform across a species or doesn't change over time.

Entropy Decoding in Optillm and Early Results on GSM8k
Optillm (https://github.com/codelion/optillm) now has an implementation of entropy decoding based adaptive sampling based on the work of @\_xjdr (https://github.com/xjdr-alt/entropix). The original repo is in a state of flux but the idea seems to work well.

I also did an eval of the entropy decoding on GSM8k with Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct model in a zero shot setting. I found improvements over the base model but they are not better than what we get with a much simple CoT decoding.

You can try them both in this free Gogole Colab -(https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1SpuUb8d9xAoTh32M-9wJsB50AOH54EaH?usp=sharing)

No. That's the point of the comment.
You can't "experience" time. Experience is memory and memory is the only thing you can "experience". Whether that memory has anything to do with time as such is debatable. Personally I'd say no.

This has really shown that the be true. I am stuck in a situation right now where I have some lost media I want to upload but they have been down for over a week. I plan to create a torrent in the meantime but that means relying on my personal network connection for the vast majority of downloads up front. I looked into CloudFlare R2, not terrible but not free either.

I was looking into using R2 as a web seed for the torrent but I don't _really_ want to spend much to upload content that is going to get "stolen" and reuploaded by content farms anyway you know?

Around 10 years, in Italy a very populistic party was raising and he was leaded by a very stupid leader that used the social a lot. Then I wrote a Twitter bot (it was possible at that time) that looked like a militant of the party and that was trained over the leader's tweets (nothing fancy, just a big Markov chain). It was so funny when people, also high level of the party start liking and retweeting the bot posts, I ended having several thousands of followers just writing bullshits.

I would like to learn how GAN are working, then I scraped the official pictures of Italian politicians since 30 years and try to generate new faces with a GAN trained to this dataset. Unfortunately I need a lot of computing power to obtain an acceptable face, and I did not want to spend money for that.

The interpreted AD 275 fragment of the oath contains a prohibition of abortion that is in contradiction to original Hippocratic text On the Nature of the Child, which contains a description of an abortion, without any implication that it was morally wrong,[16] and descriptions of abortifacient medications are numerous in the ancient medical literature.[17] The oath's stance on abortion was unclear even in the ancient world where physicians debated whether the specification of pessaries was a ban on simply pessaries, or a blanket ban on all abortion methods.

There was no illegal content on kiwi farms. Even then, I’d say taking down a single page by request is understandable. However, they surrendered to the mob and chose to stop archiving the entire site. This was to censor any criticism of the people involved, but as a result, we lost all of the other information on the rest of the site as well. It’s clear this organization cannot handle pressure, and is relying on people treating it kindly.

Like I said I've been advised this by several psychiatrists. Who are otherwise pretty comfortable with drug use (one even gave mdma therapy). So it's not the usual 'boo drugs bad' thing.

I don't have sources beyond that but I'm sure they do. I'm just not really in the medical thing.
They've lost the narrative bad here. Any technical merit it might have has been blasted by the poor messaging and uninspiring initial experiences.

My work gave me a Win11 machine. It works well enough (for a 16Gb machine trying to juggle Docker and JetBrains software) but I find it frustrating in trivial regressions:

* I didn't ask for rounded corners, and it tends to make software look weird if it doesn't expect to have the bottom right corner chopped off. Evidently there is no trivial way to disable this-- I looked and saw guides like "you basically have to disable hardware-accelerated graphics to force it into a compatibility mode" which seems rather using a chainsaw to cut butter. This just seems to be another stop on the "the user shouldn't be theming their machine at all" journey. (I set up a clean Win10 install this week and was surprised to see now it seemed to default to a randomized Bing wallpaper instead of the Windows logo)
noticed

* The little pop-up calendar if you click the taskbar is gone. "Is October 30 a Thursday" is the sort of question I ask a couple times a week for scheduling purposes; an immediate answer is now gone, replaced with nothing.

Yes, these are small problems, but the overall problem is that Windows 11 doesn't give me enough 'new and better' to make up for even tiniest of drawbacks. Even Vista, for all its warts, said "here's a shiny new UI that's interesting rather than just "we made it look more like MacOS because for some reason every design enthusiast on earth can only sniff Apple's farts" and "64-bit support that's actually going to work on most mainstream gear."

If they can't provide enough pros to outweigh "I miss a tiny calendar in the corner of the screen", what chance do they have to respond to the well-documented bigger annoyances like "let's break common taskbar configuration options", "cramming MS accounts even harder down people's throats" and "let's obsolete kit that would run it fine for poorly elucidated reasons."

You'd think they'd have put a lot more effort into trying to find some killer feature or app to actively sell Win11, that makes it worth dealing with the faults, like how back in the day, a new DirectX or IE version might have justified going beyond Windows XP. I guess they're just in maintenance-rundown mode-- not really caring if people embrace Win11 because they know that eventually enterprises will be required to accept it for support/compliance reasons.
According to the original account, the pencil/pen thing wasn't about an audit trail, and both the IRB and hospital admin were equally silly.

> IRREGULARITY #3: Signatures are traditionally in pen. But we said our patients would sign in pencil. Why?

> Well, because psychiatric patients aren’t allowed to have pens in case they stab themselves with them. I don’t get why stabbing yourself with a pencil is any less of a problem, but the rules are the rules. We asked the hospital administration for a one-time exemption, to let our patients have pens just long enough to sign the consent form. Hospital administration said absolutely not, and they didn’t care if this sabotaged our entire study, it was pencil or nothing.

The point was that Verne's fictitious heroes were acting independently of government, real or fictional.

Oh yeah true I forgot it was just based on a book.
The title and article is confusing. It says this:

"they are finding out that the new [Kindle] models are mysteriously missing the download and transfer via USB option for purchased ebooks from the content page at Amazon."

The option to download and transfer via USB option is on Amazon.com website, and doesn't appear to be related to the new Kindles at all. So it's not clear to me what the new Kindles themselves are missing. I have a new Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition that was just released, and I have books that I "acquired" (the word Amazon uses on their website) from Amazon on September 5 and September 16. I have the option to download and transfer them via USB on the website.

Can anyone clarify what option has actually been removed?

Music on macOS is really weird architecturally. Parts are native, parts are WebViews, and I wouldn't be surprised if there's even still some bits of code leftover from the days Music/iTunes was still known as SoundJam MP.

They're likely doing something funky to implement its shortcuts because the standard way wouldn't work everywhere in the app.

Ironically, at this point the cleanest implementation of Apple Music might actually be the Windows version, which as far as I can tell is a fresh codebase written exclusively in WinUI/WinAppSDK. Many hoped that the transition from iTunes → Music.app would turn out to be a blank-slate AppKit rewrite on macOS but that's not what we got.

No, but by even mentioning that you're rather slyly implying they might be.

And apparently forgetting — or trying to obfuscate — that the one person we know is doing something deliberately here is mr Mullenweg.

The relevant context here is what he is doing now.
>Okay, so that means that no matter how stressed we get, there’s a cap to the energy we can use. But how is that relevant, since it also applies to exercise or other energy utilization by the body? Why does a limited capacity to consume energy only apply to stress?

It doesn't. That limited capacity to consume energy applies to exercise, brain activity, thermogenesis, digestion, and every other biological process as well. It is a fundamental aspect of cellular biology and a major focus in the field of exercise physiology.

Fitness training is the very slow and deliberate process of pushing these limits tiny percentages higher.

I suggest you build some practical and theoretical knowledge of the field before dismissing the paper.

Auto-adding your changes to existing files sounds like a great feature, auto-adding any random files it finds in the project is a terrible one. I can't imagine why the author decided that was a good idea. Can someone explain the reasoning behind it? I can understand someone wanting it as some point so it makes a certain amount of sense to add as an option, but not as the default. Makes me wonder about what other bad decisions have gone into the project.

100% agreement on that transition. I feel like I had to unlearn a lot of git’s subtly-broken model and now things feel so much simpler and easier.

One of those for me was branch names that don’t automatically “follow” new commits. At first it felt weird but it unlocks the ability to do consecutive work as one linear set of changes, even when those changes need to be merged in discrete chunks. The git approach for this (stacking branches) is so painful, particularly when you need to edit an earlier change or add a new commit between earlier ones. This went from being so frustratingly difficult I wouldn’t even consider it to being utterly trivial.

Also rebase conflicts. Not being unceremoniously dropped into a half-broken “fix this NOW state” with no ability to inspect and poke at other commits in the chain and not being able to fix things incrementally in any order is something I couldn’t have imagined. And like you said now it’s insane to me that people continue to put up with it.
I think the "perfectionist" is social and Hollywood (and tabliod/lawsuit) cover for "this person abuses people on set." In Kubrick's case it certainly was, famously with Duvall in the Shining, but rumored with other talent too.
Your scenario still uses a centralised single postgres server. Failure of that server takes down the whole locking functionality. That's not what people usually mean by "distributed".

"the machines involved can fail" must also include the postgres machines.

To get that, you need to coordinate multiple postgres servers, e.g. using ... distributed locking. Postgres does not provide that out of the box -- neither multi-master setups, nor master-standby synchronous replication with automatic failover. Wrapper software that provides that, such as Stolon and Patroni, use distributed KV stores / lock managers such as etcd and Consul to provide it.

My understanding of why bagging works well is because it’s a variance reduction technique.

If you have a particular algorithm, the bias will not increase if you train n versions in ensemble, but the variance will decrease as more anomalous observations won’t persistently be identified in submodel random samples and so won’t the persist in the bagging process.

You can test this. The difference between train and test auc will not increase dramatically as you increase number of trees in sklearn random forest for same data and hyperparameters.
