If you can share, but I'd be curious to know what that large of an XML file might be used for, and what benefits it might have over other formats. My persona and professional use of XML has been pretty limited, but XSD was super powerful, and the reason we choose it when we did.
Tether was launched in 2014 [1]. It has over $120bn in outstanding liabilities against unknown assets [2]. When it fails, it will rival the fourth-largest 'bank' failure in U.S. history [3].

This has been a complete failure of U.S. regulatory bodies.

I'm on Saxenda for 3 months now (basically Gen 1 of the same GLP-1 drug, Ozempic being the Gen 2, both made by Novo Nordisk).

The hunger suppression is real and what's intersting that this is the first time I've felt that I'm "not in control of my thoughts". Of course it's my own decision to take the drug is not about that. But I'm not hungry anymore, I don't binge eat anymore, and I generally don't enjoy food as before. Like even if I have my favorite foods it's just an OK experience. It's like I'm eating because I know I need energy to live but otherwise it's totally gone as the "main focus" from my daily life (which was my main eating disorder)

Ah, finally, will Tether get its day in the litigious sun? It's well known in cryptocurrency circles that their coin is not backed 1:1 to USD, similar to FTX, only that FTX crashed and this was found out the easy way. Cracking Tether will be much harder as they resist audits.
I wonder how they are going to smuggle such a gigantic quantity of cheese out of the country. It’s kind of hard to move 22 tonnes of anything without raising suspicion, and doing so in a hurry poses additional challenges.
My father is a retired mechanical engineer. He learned drafting with pencil and paper first; when he was 19 he drew some of the parachutes for the Apollo project. When I was a kid I saw that he even had a drafting table with all the accoutrements at home: templates, triangles, compasses, French curves, mechanical pencils and an electric eraser. (A handheld device with a powerful motor that spun a cylinder of eraser rubber; touching the spinning cylinder to the paper let you erase with blinding speed.)

He was an early adopter of AutoCAD when it came out, but in later years he would grouse about it. From his perspective, AutoCAD was merely a better pencil, but it wasn't better enough to justify the cumbersome user interface; it wasn't until the debut of Inventor that Autodesk released a tool that works the way an engineer thinks. When Inventor came out he got back into drafting and engineering work again on a contract basis in his 70s. His old-school expertise combined with his embrace of new technology made him a powerhouse on the team. Everyone looked up to him, even the fresh-out-of-college kids.

If I was building a competing expense system, the pricing slider would show how $5/user/month compared to how many dollars in rewards you (as the business owner) would be giving away by using a card issued by a "free" SaaS app based on total spend.

If a company decided to sign up for corporate cards directly such that _they_ were reaping all those rewards, that'd be perfectly fine and reasonable and it happens all the time. But as it is, employers are giving away the store by singing up for cards issued by these apps—and the software landscape is such that they don't have a ton of other options.
It's fairly straightforward. Just take a look at a few of the top comments here wherein the commenter describes not being as dumb (for lack of a better term) as peers for not joining into social media. I'm not linking to them as I'm not trying to incite anything here. Bros need hugs too.
Definitely, but if you can detect when you might be in one of those states, you could reflect to see exactly which state you're in.

So far this has mostly been done using Reinforcement Learning, but catching it and doing it inference seems like it could be interesting to explore. And much more approachable for open source, only the big ML labs can do this sort of RL.
> It does memory safety, which is good, but it's overly restrictive, disallowing various safe patterns

The "safe" patterns Rust disallows tend to not account for safe modularity - as in, they impose complex, hard-to-verify requirements on outside code if "safety" is to be preserved. This kind of thing is essentially what the "unsafe" feature in Rust is intended to address.

If Tether is sanctioned, they can't hold most dollar-denominated assets. Certainly none of the safe or liquid ones. Figuring out why it failed may take some digging. But causing it to fail is trivial.

SaaS didn't exist when the GPL was drafted. If that's an issue for you, there's the AGPL.

I feel that. This is one place where the "nix is everything, everything is nix" mentality hurts the project. NixOS modules are where the abstract config option sauce lives. It isn't an inherent part of Nix.

As Nix (and NixOS) becomes more widely used, this is one place where we'll have to find a way to let users do what they know how, and stop getting in the way.
You keep referencing Google's clearly flawed and asymmetric marketing about Rust. It is really unsightly. It has been thoroughly debunked nearly everywhere it was reported but here is a 10 minute recap of some of the clear flaws: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vB3ACXSesGo

You are citing the preliminary study by Angel in 1945 (published when Greece was recently liberated from military occupation and moving towards civil war!) not the 1985 study by Angel and others which Kron cites. In his later work, Angel and colleagues decided that the first estimate had been too short. As a general rule, its best to check the most RECENT publication on a subject, especially in fields like natural science where data grows and methods improve over time. You wouldn't rely on computer science papers from 1945 without seeing if the art had developed since then would you?
Yeah wouldn't be surprised if the big labs are doing more than just arg max in the sampling.
This is based on work done by this anonymous twitter account:

https://x.com/_xjdr

I have been following this quite closely, it has been very interesting as it seems smaller models can be more efficient with this sampler. Worth going through the posts if someone is interested in this. I kind of have a feeling that this kind of sampling is a big deal.
Makes sense if so, the same happened with another media company in Portugal. Same kind of reaction.

Github would definitely reach out if you tried to make 100k+ Github repos. We once automatically opened issues in response to exceptions (sort of a ghetto Bugsnag / Sentry) and received a nice email from an engineer asking us if we really needed to do that when we hit around the 200k mark.
food marketing used to much more aggressively bash competitors' products. many of the companies funding the yo-yo "X is good/bad for you studies" are basically just stealthier versions of this, if you look at who is funding the studies.

the most prominent example of this is Heinz ketchup, where Heinz lobbied for the FDA and essentially got most of its competitors out of the market as a result; Heinz was the only major ketchup producer not using preservatives. https://archive.ph/1y8f5

IIRC the major problem in food science is that most of the people willing to pay for food studies are food makers.

They're great! But also still miss fundamental pieces that Nix gets right. Especially the way the build and dependency graph goes right to the root of every package, and comes together to completely describe the system you're running today.
it's a good question because my answer for a system like this which had very little schema changing was just dump it into a database and add historical tracking per object that way, hash, compare, insert and add historical record.
When I read about potential optimizations like this, I can't believe that people trust LLMs enough to do things with minimal oversight. Do people really believe that "AI" products that use LLMs are capable enough to do things like control a computer, or write accurate code? By design, isn't _everything_ a "hallucination" or a guess? Is it really possible to overcome that?
The problem is that deep net classifiers in general are not well statistically calibrated by default. So while the entropy is often high when they are "not sure", models can very often also be "confidently wrong". So using entropy of the logits as an indicator of confidence can easily be very misleading.

I'm not an expert in LLMs though, this is just my understanding of classifiers in general. Maybe with enough data this consideration no longer applies? I'd be interested to know.
100% agreed.

I don’t even think you need machine learning for this, it’s an API problem mostly like I said.

Being able to collate the requisite inputs from outside sources is the real problem. If you can’t do that reliably it’s simply hard to build an algorithm around it. Flights for example would require your calendar program to reliably pull data from an API regarding the flight information that is current and effectively real time. That’s the actual hard part, and this expands across services.

For all the advances we have made with computers and smartphones in particular they suck at meaningfully exposing a way to collate data sources and create actions around them reliably
I don’t think speculating on how you think Israel would react is helpful or productive.

Of course Israel would “cry and whine.” I agree with you.

Obviously, Palestine also “cries and whines” — they have a narrative when their military operations are hit, too, and it’s not “fair play.”

War is an ugly, awful thing. I wouldn’t expect anybody involved to treat it so rationally. Hopefully we can view things more objectively and fairly given our distance.
I presume you mean you sold it on in 2019 and not that your 2015 car lasted 4 years, as that would not be an example I'd hold up for the quality of today's cars.

I'm not surprised that a 2015 Mazda is a decent car. Mazda make good cars. But I'm speaking of cars made today. 2015 was almost 10 years ago. Cars have only gotten more complicated and less repairable since then.

Yeah wires and vacuum hoses look messy. But you can replace a vacuum hose by cutting a new piece to length with a pair of scissors. Good luck in a modern car when that same function is a digital signal in a circuit board.
Ahh the final question, is easy money better than enough money?
I mean, LLMs certainly know representations of what words means and their relationship to each other, that's what the Key and Query matrices hold for example.

But in this case, it means that the underlying point in embedding space doesn't map clearly to only one specific token. That's not too different from when you have an idea in your head but can't think of the word.

...daily? monthly? how many versions do you have to keep around?

I'd look at a simple zstd dictionary based scheme, first. Put your history/metadata into a database. Put the XML data into file system/S3/BackBlaze/B2, zstd compressed against a dictionary.

Create the dictionary : zstd --train PathToTrainingSet/* -o dictionaryName
Compress with the dictionary: zstd FILE -D dictionaryName
Decompress with the dictionary: zstd --decompress FILE.zst -D dictionaryName

Although you say you're fine with it being not that storage efficient to a degree, I think if you were OK with storing every version of every XML file, uncompressed, you wouldn't have to ask right?

Very cool project. I hope Cloudflare workers can support more protocols like SSH and GRPC. It's one of the reasons why I prefer Fly.io over Cloudflare worker for special servers like this.
In a similar vein, I saw this happen to some Italian place near the NC coast. During the summer season, they catered only to the tourist rush and somehow pissed the locals off. I forgot the details, but I believe they quit taking to go orders and maybe even reservations?

Lo and behold, in the fall they were begging for business on FB. They ended up closing shop, but I don't know the timelines.

It's probably pretty tricky to navigate both cases as a business owner, so I'm not passing blame here.
Yeah, it's bad. Excluding the people who checked neither is probably better, but it's still not perfect because it leaves out the people who read both options and would have said "undecided" if it were a choice.

It's just a bad poll.

Sampling sequentially to find the highest joint probability over the sequence is definitely a search problem. that's why you see algorithms like beam search often used for sampling.
Older clothes weren't just made better, people also took care of them better. Partly because of cost, but also culture -- fewer changes in fashion trends with slower and more local communication, cheap labor to launder your clothes by hand (which puts much less wear on the garment). Also a culture of repairing and mending (also easier to do this when you have fewer things to occupy your free time).
No it's not, but when humans have invested too much (emotions or money) they do not retreat easily. They rather go all in.

It's just another hype, people. Just like Client/Server, Industry 4.0, Machine Learning, Microservices, Cloud, Crypto ...
For what it's worth, I disagree. I think it would be difficult to design a language more elegant than Rust while accomplishing the same goals. Maybe those goals aren't ones that everyone cares about, and that's OK.

It's a language that's definitely worth learning; it expands the mind in a way that languages like Go (or Java, or any GC language) will not. There is a great beauty and elegance to its design.

Yeah, for TLS to work safely I suspect the only way would be language support which knows to media TLS through a "context pointer" so that the green threads could restore the context when resuming. In C++ the story is even worse because someone could take the address of a TLS variable & use it elsewhere. I think in general it's very very tricky to mix TLS and stackful coroutines that can be scheduled on arbitrary threads and languages like Go pick the stackful coroutines and drop the ability to do TLS.

To be fair though, I think people generally just avoid TLS when running with green thread systems.
Rust is unique in being both safe and nearly as fast as idiomatic C/C++. This is a key differentiator between Rust and languages that rely on obligate GC or obligate reference counting for safety, including Golang, Swift, Ocaml etc.
It really is just a bank without any of the regulatory safeguards. A disastrous outcome is inevitable.
OP here. We're not an AI company; we're aiming to be AI-adjacent and simplify the practical application of AI models.

An example of low hanging fruit is -fwrapv. This flag takes a behavior that is undefined, signed overflow, and converts it to defined behavior, two's compliment wrapping. That improves safety, but it does not prevent all errors. There are many flags like this, but they all tackle individual aspects of the problem, and even if you turn them all on, there are situations which aren't caught.
it's unlikely, as they showed up evolutionarily after preceding organisms and were wholly consistent with evolution of preceding organisms. They are remarkably similar to other organisms, like isopods.
IMO, the popularity metrics are the cause of the Lord of the Flies dynamics you so often see on Reddit, X, etc.
