Perhaps so, as different cultures have different tastes anyway. That you don't like Soviet styles is no indication of whether people in the Union did or didn't like them.
No, I actually worked in Cambodia alongside Khmer folks (as well as working in a bunch of co-working spaces elsewhere in the region). And sure, they were probably lying to me about things (but that's part of the difference I found - the truth is less important than in the West [0])

And yes, you could probably get a long jail sentence in Cambodia for publicly criticising Hun Sen. The thing I found interesting is that that's a symptom, not the cause. The cause is that they're a very authoritarian culture who consider it very rude (our best approximation of the emotion) when people criticise leaders. At least that was the conclusion I came to during my time there. As you say, I'm a tourist so what do I know?

I do find it fascinating that we have such a resistance to understanding that different people have different attitudes to the world and different ways of thinking about it.

It could do either depending on on what the planner decides. In pgvector it usually does post-filtering in practice (filter after vector search).

pgvector HNSW has the problem that there is a cutoff of retrieving some constant C results and if none of them match the filter than it won't find results. I believe newer version of pgvector address that. Also pgvectorscale's StreamingDiskANN[1] doesn't have that problem to begin with.

The necessary future is more providers, more relays, a move of PLC to an independent body, and more DID methods.

I will also say - there are ~100 self-hosting PDSes in the network, about 25 relay consumers, 3 alternative appviews that I know of (smoke signals, frontpage.fyi, and whitewind), the firehose & backfill are fully available, the specs are getting fairly complete, and the software is open source. This is a priority for us.

I recommend attending a traditional Catholic requiem mass for the dead on all souls day. It explains everything about Halloween decor.

Yes, you want to provide guidance, but without getting in the way.

That's why I was suggesting letting the user paste in these 'wrong' characters, but offering help in removing them.

Of course, that's a trade-off. And it's more annoying to design and implement than just forbidding those characters from entering the input field in the first place.
Halloween, in the sense of the eve of all saints, is after Easter in the eastern churches, which is the 'old' date but was changed to coincide with the day that the poe consecrated the Pantheon as a Christian church (the Pantheon having used to be a temple to all gods, is now dedicated to all saints).

In my experience reverse engineering is often the easy bit, or at least easy compared to what follows: maintenance. Knowing both when and how it fails when it fails (eg in cases like when the API stops returning any results but is still otherwise valid). Knowing when the response has changed in a way that is subtle to detect, like they changed the format of a single field, which may still parse correctly but is now interpreted incorrectly.

How do you keep up with the maintenance?

Interview with Charley Kline and Bill Duvall:

But Kline didn't even make it all the way through the word "L-O-G-I-N" before Duvall told him over the phone that his system crashed. Thanks to that error, the first "message" that Kline sent Duvall on that autumn day in 1969 was simply the letters "L-O".

> if you want a specific answer about something

Specific is the specific thing that statistical models are not good at :(

> how do I do X with library Y?

Recent research and anecdotal experience has shown that LLMs perform quite poorly with short prompts. Attention just has more data to work with when there are more tokens. Try extending that question like “I am using this programming language and am trying to do this task with this library. How do I do this thing with this other library”

I realize prompt engineering like this is fuzzy and “magic,” but short prompts have a consistent lower performance.

> In the specific case of programming, this could be improved with a simple engineering task: integrate the output with a real programming environment, and evaluate the result of actually running the code.

Not as simple as you’d think. You’re letting something run arbitrary code.

Tho you should give aider.chat a try if you want to test out that workflow. I found it very very slow.
I solved this a different way -- only very senior engineers were allowed to access/deploy to production. Senior engineers (by experience, not title!) had a much better understanding of the full system; they better understood the risks during a deploy and what to watch. They were doing the PR reviews as well.

Many ways to skin the cat. This is just one of them.
Just looked and I'm not seeing ANY 55" 8k around right now. All the ones I'm seeing now are 65" at the smallest, and that seems way too big.

I've found a 43" 4k is about the right pixel size for me; a 49" 4k was too big on a desk. Fortunately, it died and I could get a smaller replacement.

I suspect a 49/50" 8k would be ideal, but I'm not going to hold my breath.
That was mostly a social/policy problem which destroys the economics of it because you're limited to a very small amount of airports.

Waymo is currently limited to a small amount of towns for a mix of economic, policy, and social reasons. Probably in that order. Just being sufficiently better than human drivers was never the entire barrier to entry for this to be a real business for Google, at least one that becomes nation-wide or global.
the mars trilogy by kim Stanley Robison
The one thing i've seemed to notice about this technology, is that technology never really replaces people... It just forces those to add things...

More, more more is always the reaction to transformative technologies because us humans have this underlying obsession with growth and scale.

For instance, in 1910 Fords manufacturing lines were producing about 7,000 cars a week. As robotics, conveyance and general automation was introduced they didn't hire less workers, they hired more. Now they produce millions of cars per year.

Software will be the same. Devs will be expected to write more code, and produce more features. There has been an explosion in AI based hiring since.
computational reducibility/irreducibility is a big topic in computer science and is incredibly interesting. It allows us to prove that certain "computers" are the same through proofs and that they can carry out the same tasks regardless of the actions that take place within them. I would suggest looking into that as it really opens your eyes to just how similar computationally so many things are

If you haven’t established that A = B and B = C implies A = C then you haven’t proven that = is an equivalence relation on that space including A, B, and C. Unless you’re going to prove it I would go so far as to call it an abuse of notation to continue using = when you mean some other relation where transitivity does not necessarily hold.
> I think one thing that gets lost in the "everything has different levels of risk" discussion is that many risk/reward profiles are bad.

Yes, not everything is on the efficiency frontier for risk/reward. Eg cash is convenient to spend, so it can 'get away with' offering a worse risk/reward profile.

Yes, the Sharpe ratio is one of many ways to measure risk adjusted returns.

> If you want to get really deep into investment theory, Beta implies basically everything is a good investment in small enough amounts https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_(finance)

Well, that assumes no fees, transaction costs and taxes, I think. And even without transaction costs etc, the theoretically optimal amount can be so low that it's not worth bothering with.
> People don't understand the fundamental problem of fusion. It's a problem of energy loss. Of enormous energy losses.

I'm not sure that's even true, because if you manage to crack that, you still have the problem that your sustainable reaction is pumping out most of its energy in the form of very fast neutrons, which are (a) very hard to harvest energy from and (b) extremely bad for people and materials if you don't. You could have a self-sustaining reaction that you can't actually use!

> How do tests account for cases where I'm looking at a 100 line function that could have easily been written in 20 lines with just as much, if not more, clarity?

If the function is fast to evaluate and you have thorough coverage by tests, you couod iterate on an LLMs that aims to compress it down to a simpler / shorter version that behaves identical to the original function. Of course brevity for the sake of brevity can lead to less code that is not always more clear or simpler to understand than the original —LLMs are very good at mimicing code style, so show them a lot of your own code and ask them to mimic it and you may be surprized.
Shoot for the stars and you get to the moon.
Right, but contacting authorities implies automatically a significant chance that the police will be contacted also (no matter what they might say to you initially).

Once that happens, you have no control over their response.

I never understood the issue. You borrow money against your equity, but have to pay it back, with post tax dollars. Plus you pay interest on it anyway. So where it the loophole.

Simplified example, I have $100 worth of stock, I borrow $10 and pay 10% interest. I eventually have to come up with the $10 to pay it back, which will be post tax. And I'm paying interest on it anyway, which may or may not be tax deductible.

It would be the equivalent of me getting a home equity loan and having to pay taxes on the gains of my property when I took out the home equity loan.

What am I missing?
Same, though I'm also on 49" (5120x1440).

Home equity loan has entered the chat.
There is no loophole. The interest is taxed completely. So the government is probably making more with all the spending. No one is borrowing money to sit in an account. They borrow to spend (immediately taxed as sales and also profit of the seller and interest)
Former MechE for a decade and I owned personal CNC routers and on my 6th 3D printer. The biggest issue with CNC is the cost for consumables and accessories.

Broadly speaking, yes. Turning down liquidity increases spreads which affects which sorts of companies are able to raise what sorts of capital in those markets.

Aneutronic fusion has been previously mentioned, specifically HB11.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aneutronic_fusion
The posts are from 2015-2020 so these are definitely human-made. Here's some things that are probably giving you that feeling:

* every pose is pretty static, nobody's actively doing anything, they're just sitting or standing in the middle of their workplace - Scarry's folks are always running around doing something.

* lots and lots of wide eyes with the pupil not touching any part of the edge, which makes them look like a dead doll - I'm looking through some Scarry drawings and he almost never does this, and when he does it's with a much smaller, simpler eye that doesn't require any rendering.

* in general these drawings are much more detailed than Scarry's work, there's a lot of nervous repeated mark-making going on, and that would prove to be a hallmark of AI imagesludge a few years later.

* "cold and dead" might be something being deliberately aimed for here, "look at all these people who are dead inside" is a definite vibe I could see going for with a project like this - Scarry wants you to like everyone he draws and I do not think this artist wants you to like any of these people.

* Scarry's animal people all basically look like cute babies due to his choices of detail and stylization. These all look more like taxidermied animals in a clever pose, due to radically different choices in those domains. One of these things is cute and appealing on an instinctual level. One of these things is kind of creepy.
