Everyone else has answered about WASM, so I'll answer about raspberry pi. I've got 5 of them. One is running Home Assistant for all my home automation and camera recording. One is running a quadruped that I built. And three are connected to three sets of speakers around the house running a home-rolled Sonos-like setup so I can stream the same music all around the house from my phone.
AMD hardware is good. The software is getting better daily. Training still sucks (mostly due to unoptimized libraries), but inference is looking pretty decent with recent advances in tuning...

Like I said in another reply, there seems to be a good bit of debate about whether that cost, which was cited several years ago, is still accurate (or ever was).

That said if it is then 2x would drop the margin in half. Still a healthy margin and I do wonder what the Geely car cost will be. Note when I say "car" I mean everything for the car to drive itself, which is the car, the sensor suite, etc. I did not figure on the operational staffing as another comment pointed out.

Great point. I wonder how many people (i.e., what fraction of a person?) are required per trip.

the preface to the third edition St Martin's Handbook says that the primary driving motivation for the book is "solving writing problems that students really have." The book includes six chapters on research writing, specifically. CMS on the other hand I had heard of as a standard for newspapers and big journalism, as well as research writing (5000 rules of footnotes, etc).

Sections in St Martin's include:
- Attention to good writing, not just to surface correctness.
- Systematic attention to reading.
- Practical guidelines for recognizing, understanding and revising the most common errors.
- A look at language in everyday use.
- Six chapters on research writing.
- Attention to the needs of basic writers.

Hes seems to be describing why misinformation is more of a challenge for democratic governments to combat than for non-democratic governments, it’s weird that they edited out the question, hard to understand the context of the answer.

Transcript:

John Kerry: And I think the the dislike of and anguish over social media is just growing and growing and growing. And it's part of our problem, particularly in democracies, in terms of building consensus around any issue. It's really hard to govern today. You can't, you know, there's no, the referees we used to have to determine what's a fact and what isn't a fact, the kind of, you know, been eviscerated to a certain degree. And, people go, people self-select where they go for their news or for their information, and then you just get into a vicious cycle. So it's really, really hard, much harder to build consensus today than at any time in the 45, 50 years I've been involved in this.

And, and, you know, there's a lot of discussion now about how you curb those entities, in order to guarantee that you're going to have, you know, some accountability on facts, etc..

But look, if people go to only one source and the source they go to is sick and, you know, has an agenda and they're putting out disinformation, our First Amendment stands as a major block to the ability to be able to just, you know, hammer it out of existence.

So what you need, what we need is to, is to win the ground, win the right to govern by hopefully having, you know, winning enough votes that you're free to be able to, to, implement change.

Now, obviously, there are some people in our country who are prepared to implement change in other ways. And . . .

Børge Brende: So you're questioning, really, for [if] democracy can survive unregulated social media?

John Kerry: I think democracies are, are very challenged right now and have not proven they can move fast enough or big enough to deal with the challenges that we are facing. And to me, that is part of what this race, this, this election is all about. Will we break the fever in the United States?

David L. Parnas: Modularization by Information Hiding [pdf]
Ya, I've had my eye on it for a little while. It's significantly out of my price range though and the webcam would be a tough one to accept. Maybe if they update it I'll then try and get one on severe clearance or used market. I am personally more interested in long-term utility and picture quality than industrial design, so the other 6k screen has never been appealing beyond playing with it in the store, but I think my current screen is the lower limit of what I'd pay quite a handsome sum for. I'm glad you like it though, Dell has always put out great monitors, particularly in 16:10 and IPS, so I'm even more hopeful for other options in the future

Edit: Just realized that the 6k Dell monitor is actually 16:9, and the successors to my screen don't seem to be sold anymore. In the 16:10 category, there's only 24" left :(

It’s interesting to see how popular anti-obesity medications have become as alternatives to weight-loss surgery. I can understand why people might choose medication first since it's less invasive and has fewer recovery requirements. Canadian Pharmacy https://www.canadapharmacy.com/ actually has a good selection of options for weight management, which can make it easier to find the right fit. Curious if others have tried this route and what their experiences have been like.
The issue is fleet utilisation, the fleet is not going to be fully utilised at night and will be capped out during rush hour. Compared to rush hour, daytime usage is about 50% of peak and it falls to below 10% or lower at nights[1]. There was an article or blog looking at what happened if Uber replaced all their drivers with robotaxis a few years ago, couldn't find it though, but conclusion seemed to think going asset heavy an owning cars/parking would be the same or worse than paying drivers more but drivers owning their cars

As far as I'm aware, yes they're all compatible.

Apples segmentation takes place in the nand firmware. The firmware contains the location in the storage configuration. And this may or may not be rewriteable. Iboffrc has done a video explaining how some of it works. It's all from reverse engineering though.
Although telcos are supposed to update the central equipment database (LERG) tables, not all of them do, or do it reliably. So if the LERG says such and such office has a Strowger or a DMS 10, it need not be true.

Ironically, now that Microsoft have killed off Metaswitch, and the Chinese vendors are banned, Ribbon (who own the Nortel assets) are probably the only game left in town. But I'm not sure there is much appetite or money among telcos to do a mass migration, meaning more and more gear will be left to rust in place.

I had a similar experience with Dell after they wanted the price of a new laptop for a replacement laptop battery. This was for the Dell Studio back when battery packs were made to be swappable by simply sliding a latch.

After that phone call to customer support, I made a similar vow to never buy another Dell product. These days, I use a Framework laptop.
Yeah I find Zscaler to be a nuisance - my company has done a reasonable job in getting it to work seamlessly but there are two things that make my life difficult.

One is that for some reason different operating systems have different configs (not sure is this is just how my company has done it or whether it's for a reason), but it's meant that more than a few times some very mundane features in internal tools have been broken because development and testing happens on Mac but the end users are on Windows. The other is that IP address whitelisting is super painful because someone in security needs to do something to proxy the real IP address to your application, otherwise the IP address you see is the one for Zscaler's IP address, and Akamai plus Zscaler leads to even more confusion when trying to diagnose a firewall issue.

It’s strange to hear a fellow mathematician say that if I’m in set theory class then a functional is a function but isn’t one in functional analysis. In Rudin’s Functional Analysis book he proves that linear mappings between topological spaces are continuous if they are continuous at 0. I’ve never heard of someone believing that a continuous mapping is not a function.

Terry Tao writes in his analysis book:

Functions are also referred to as maps or transformations, depending on the context.

Tao certainly knows more about this than I ever will.

When you're actually creating an entry via the share prompt there are no options at all unlike the browser extension (for Android at least)

So yeah, you can tag it.. if you exit your current app, find Omnivore in your launcher, open the app, find the entry you just made, then edit it, then add tags.. but that's a terrible UX.

Do you do cross-region work in AWS? For me that is just bad. I usually want to work at a service level and see across all regions, where as AWS wants me to work at a region level and see everything I have running there.
So the question is, if you have AGI/ASI how much productive work could you get done with it?

When looking at things like mechanization and the productivity increases from around 1880 to now, you took an economy from around 10 billion a year to 14 trillion. This involved mechanization and digitization. We live in a world that someone from 1880 really couldn't imagine.

What I don't know how to answer (or at least search properly) is how much investment this took over that 150 year period. I'm going to assume it's vastly more than $7 trillion. If $7 trillion in investment and manufacturing allowed us to produce human level+ AI then the economic benefits of this would be in the tend to hundreds of trillions.

Now, this isn't saying it would be good for me and you personally, but the capability to apply intelligence to problems and provide solutions would grow very rapidly and dramatically change the world we live in now.
I admittedly don't know much about fusion reactors, but I do love that the thing which you create a star within is called a "Stellarator".
As a relatively young academic subject, CS at most universities grew out of an existing department, typically either math or maybe more commonly EE. I think, unsurprisingly, this influenced what comprised a CS degree at each university.

When I was an undergrad CS major in the mid- to late-2000s, I was in the "Math and CS Department." So I had to take quite a few pure math courses (like numbered MA242, covering things like group theory) taught by math professors alongside math majors. CS majors in EE departments probably did a lot of engineering calculus and physics, which I didn't.

Acknowledging your point, in my department, there was an effort underway to replace those math courses with equivalent CS courses (like numbered CS235) that aimed to teach the same ideas but as they related to CS. For a while, one could take either the math or the CS course to satisfy the requirements (in practice, we just chose based on when they were offered and maybe who was teaching).

I'm sure this is still being played out at many universities as CS departments mature and become their own thing. Bureaucracies move slowly.

Edited to add: I remember abstract algebra / group theory nicely leading up to learning about public key cryptography. So it was useful. Approximation algorithms are also covered in the canonical CLRS algorithms textbook, although it's the last section in the final "Selected Topics" chapter, so an undergrad algorithms course might not get that far.

We did. It's a kind of safe house for gut flora. Not as important to modern humans, but it allows some of your gut flora to survive dysentery, cholera, etc. It's also a place for your immune system to get acquainted with the beneficial bacteria in your gut flora, and seems to fulfill a number of other roles in the immune system

More to the point of AI: this may also be like the dotcom bubble. Lots of hype that far outstrips the capabilities of the technology, but the technology is ultimately useful and impactful. Few companies survived the dotcom crash, and a lot of the tech companies with the biggest impact were only founded in the decade after the crash, when the technology was more mature and expectations more realistic

I like to just think he's passionate.

My point was you just can't count SDK downloads as developers. Is every CI/CD pipeline a developer ? The founder of Flutter who posted that stat has a startup which is heavily invested in the perception of Flutter being popular.

In the Unity community we aren't afraid to critique Unity and even suggest trying other engines. Of course Unity isn't open source so you don't get articles like this where someone claims it's time to fork.

At the same time, Unity uses C#, so you can take your skills, and even some nuget packages( with a bit of work) elsewhere if you want to switch.

Flutter requires a higher time commitment since I have to learn a language that's exclusive to Flutter. If this ship goes down I can't use Dart with anything else.

Anyway, I think job postings are a much better metric of adoption. I like Flutter, I've used it for 4 years and I want it to succeed. I don't want to go back to react native!

There are a lot of companies using old custom or self hosted webapps that they control but can't change - maybe the 3rd party that built it kept the code, maybe its an orphan product, maybe the silo that owns it won't build an api.

Anyway a lot of good points here about legalities she shifting APIs, but I think there are plenty of situations where this is great and none of that applies.
I wholly appreciated the openness to accepting bot accounts, migrated some projects from twitter there during the big exoduses in the last couple years. And while it worked for bot purposes, fun to tinker with etc...(not unlike twitter tbf) it was just some server in space a blip in the fediverse and traction and lack of proper network effects for accounts meant it wasn't much use.

I'm not hot on the fediverse in general, and this just sours me on it a bit more. A bunch of dedicated admins keeping instances going, basically running hobby servers/websites like it was the 90s/early 00s, is never gonna work for the kind fo scale services grow to these days. I know not everything requires scale and lots of ppl are happy existing in their little silos, but that's just it, they're silos. Might as well be back on seperate forums for our seperate interests again. When you want the power of a mix of accounts/networks/interests everything balloons and can't be run with funds and larger centralization. Sigh. It's a tough one and has yet to be solved in full, with any existing approaches all sort of half-solutions. Maybe that's the way forwards in general (an internet of islands) but it sucks to have things going up and down and having to migrate around the net (with or without our own data) like nomads.
as far as I can tell Chroma can only store chunks, not the original documents. This is from your docs `If the documents are too large to embed using the chosen embedding function, an exception will be raised`.

In addition it seems that embeddings happen at ingest time. So, if, for example, the OpenAI endpoint is down the insert will fail. That, in turn means your users need to use a retry mechanism and a queuing system. All the complexity we describe in our blog.

Obviously, I am not an expert in Chroma. So apologies in advance if I got anything wrong. Just trying to get to the heart of the differences between the two systems.

A lot of this can be said for most, if not all, of the stolen-Paganism claims, not Halloween. If you excuse the inherent bias, Fr. Casey Cole has a good recent video on the matter, however, he focuses more on Christmas than Halloween: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpYNQgb_IAE

Ironically, most of the anti-Christian and Pagan symbols you see today were actually copied from Christianity. The upside down cross was originally the Cross of St. Peter (St. Peter asked to be crucified upside down because he thought himself unworthy to die as Christ did), until anti-Christians used it in intentionally sacrilegious mock-rituals (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Mass).

I have inadvertently made a name for myself inside Salesforce for migrating people off of it in short timeframes. My last meeting with them for a company, they asked if I was the same [Name] who worked with X, Y, and Z, all companies I moved from Salesforce. I actually got them to settle a contract for 50 cents on the dollar for early termination. There's a real market for people who will pay to move from SF to see huge savings. Being a Saleforce export would only help.

As my mother used to say, "I love work. I could watch it all day!"

I can see where you are coming from.

Maintaining a better creative + technical balance, instead of see-sawing. More continuous conscious planning, less drilling.

Plus the unwavering tireless help of these AI's seems psychologically conducive to maintaining one's own motivation. Even if I end up designing an elaborate garden estate or a simpler better six-axis camera stabilizer/tracker, or refactoring how I think of primes before attempting a theorem, ... when that was not my agenda for the day. Or any day.
This hasn't been my experience with English/Japanese translation with Google Translate. For context I used Google Translate for pair programming with Japanese clients 40 hours per week for about 6 months, until I ponied up for a DeepL subscription.

As long as you're expressive enough in English, and reverse the translation direction every now and again to double check the output then it works fine.

> both Apple and Google started these new UI framework things after Flutter, and both didn't land it

For Flutter to have fully landed it, it would take more than just hot reload. I'm not familiar with the latest but what are the chances of the Flutter rendering stack "going native" (as in not drawing to a Skia canvas or similar) on at least Chrome or Android? Or, is that the wrong question?
>Yes you can run your own. But there are a lot of costs in terms of time/complexity/knowledge/trust to that.

>Outsourcing it to someone else is really nice.

Yeah but the key thing is that you can choose your provider. Email isn't a walled garden that can be enshittified because you can just migrate somewhere else - yes it's a huge pain and has a bunch of drawbacks, but you can do it, and people do do it.

Moving to a different Mastodon instance is a way smaller transition than moving from Twitter to another social media platform entirely.

The Fediverse has a bunch of issues but I don't think we should think about it as "running your own", we should think of it as "choosing the provider that best fits your needs", as many have with Gmail.
Thanks for building this. Super stoked that the translation in on-device.

I'll be downlaoding it and giving it a try today!!

I've heard a similar sentiment: "It's not lines of code written, it's lines of code spent."

It also reminds me of this analogy for data, especially sensitive data: "it's not oil, it's nuclear waste."
That seems no different than any other optimization: very directly tons of optimizations would reduce stack usage which would then change a given input from a stack overflow to a successful execution. Similarly anything that reduces heap memory usage or code size would also do the same.
