So a fresh, new ledger of technical debt every morning, impossible to ever pay off?
Not sure how to DM on here, but I just checked your landing and wanted to ask in what ways you're better than clerk.dev?
In the most general case there is no technique that can determine if two programs are equivalent other than running both programs on some set of inputs and verifying that the outputs (after termination) are the same. Every other technique must cut out all possible sources of non-termination to get around the halting problem in order to make the resulting equivalence relation on the set of programs effectively computable and constructively provable.
I don’t think that was ever aimed at children
Dosage and location of infection matter. The ferrets were given a high dose of virus and went on to pass it to others through the air. The farmworkers so far have gotten small droplets in the eye, and still this shows that the virus has mutated at least somewhat in humans since the bovine iteration, as only the human-mediated version was able to effectively attack mammalian lung cells. We are the pigs in this scenario. If you read the article, you'll see that was the point of testing on ferrets, not to see whether ferrets would die from it, nor to perform any kind of gain-of-function research.

What this shows is that the virus is able to jump the barrier to mammalian lung cells with a few iterations, and already has by way of some human exposure. There is no particular reason to think that a lung infection in humans wouldn't be 100% lethal as it is in ferrets or sea lions. So far, the only infections in humans in the US that we know of have been essentially relegated to the eyes. But it appears that the virus is primed for more than that now.

I'm not suggesting that the media go crazy causing a panic, or that the media do anything at all, since they only seem to inflame every situation. But looking at the data from this report, I think it is reasonable to assess that we're on a tragectory toward a highly lethal airborne H5 virus, and take appropriate steps to shore up vaccines and antiviral stocks.
You have it backwards.

230 is about who is NOT liable. Platforms are NOT liable for what they don't moderate, just because they moderated other things. It protects them from imperfect moderation being used to claim endorsement.
Except the automobile in this case only reaches the destination correctly sometimes. They are less likely to reach the destination as the path becomes longer or more complex.
that would have been implement in something like forward only language like ebpf. wasm is just an outgrown hack that people are hopping will be that safe sandbox and solve all JavaScript problems.

do not fool yourself with this temporary feature. wasm was first for js performance. secondly for portability. and third and accidentally for sandbox.
Assuming, of course:

- You know which 20K lines need changing
- You have perfect QA
- Nothing ever goes wrong in deployment.

I think there's a tendency in our industry to only take the hypotenuse of curves at the steepest point
Oh nice, I was just looking through for WIN32 apis to make something like RegionToShare. This saves me some time!
they broke something. very odd.

i conject they had some kind of page move and archival that is broke.
The probability of this happening at random is around 1 in 250 million (if you care that the hash prefix is all zeroes, versus just all the same character: 1 in 4 billion).

Github has officially announced that they have over 100 million active users, and over 400 million repositories.

At Github's scale this is a common event; on the order of monthly.
I’m doing something like this in my current home setup, but the thing I miss most about multi-monitor is screen sharing on Zoom.

I used to be able to just share one entire monitor and could drag windows I wanted to make visible to that display. Now I tend to share single applications, and have to unshare and reshare to change the view.

First world problems and all, but it would be nice if Zoon let you partition off a part of a display (instead of all or nothing). Would love to draw a bounding box of “share everything in this box.”

I don’t think this annoyance is enough to make me go back, but there are times when I’ve considered it.
Oh, this looks trustworthy.

I was just reading other accounts online about the power button sensitivity, and I was indeed in a high static environment (extremely cold and dry in winter (Arctic), carpeted floors) which appears to be a common factor in those reports. That seems like a reasonable explanation for what I observed.

It's 3 years old in a field that sees a lot of work. It also only focuses on free/OSS GCs. E.g. there's some pretty innovative stuff from Azul.

It's tempting to look at GC benchmarks and pick. But the only solution is to benchmark production with observability tools. Fine tuning GC parameters can completely change the performance picture. Also, priorities can be completely different once in production. E.g. performance or even memory overhead might not be as important as pause times.
I can do that in zoom in a mac, you select a box and it shares that specific box.
If you're on Linux, xrandr can probably partition your monitor into an arbitrary number of displays (may not work with Wayland)
Thanks for your answer. I hear you on using a read-replica to serve embedding-based queries, but I worry there are lots of cases where that breaks down in practice: presumably you still need to do a bunch of IO on the primary to support insertion, and presumably reconstituting an index (e.g. to test out new hyperparameters) isn't cheap; at least you can offload the memory requirements of reading big chunks of your graph into memory onto the follower though.

Cool to see the pgvectorscale stuff; it sounds like the approach for filtering is not dissimilar to the direction that the pgvector team are taking with 0.8.0, although the much-denser graph (relative to HNSW) may mean the approach works even better in practice?
The power is not so bad, especially compared to the graphics cards you would want to use (and I use my GPU as a tow warmer). Samsung 8k specifically comes with low power presets which are probably usable in this scenario. Of course with so many more pixels in 8k than in 4k there is need for more power but the EU regulation allows selling them if they also support an eco mode.

I am old enough to recall 100W as the typical single light bulb and I still use an electric tea kettle that touches the multi kW range daily.

This sounds fun, have you written anything up about this project? I’ve been considering switching to ball screws and closed loop servos on my next project. I’d be especially curious for component recommendations for hobbyists, as it seems like ball screws and servos are often super expensive or suspiciously cheap.
It's my pet peeve too. I'm gonna throw in Void Star by Zachary Mason as one recommendation that a lot of people likely haven't heard of. Great prose writer, very Gibson-like, got way too little attention when it was published a few years ago.
For anything complex, move in small steps.

For anything truly novel, or on a codebase with a very bespoke in house architecture or DSL, yeah you won't get much out of it.
Zoom supports sharing only a part of the screen if you tab the advanced tab in the screen sharing dialogue.

A long time ago. From Jan 27, 2020.
I'm a physics layman, and I'm having some trouble with uniting the content of your comment with the fact that existing magnetic confinement experiments have reported maintaining a plasma at the right temperature for longer times (not with fusion, but with microwave heating, and with the power of those heaters in the 10MW range).

Have I understood the consequences of those reports wrong? Does the heat loss you talk about only occur with fusion? (And if so, is it even a problem if the conditions for fusion to occur can be created by external heating this "easily"?)
Deskpad might be what you’re after! It’s a virtual display in a window, you can share that instead of your whole screen but still get multi-app flows captured

From what I understand, IRC doesn't hold messages for extended periods of time or allow media uploads, while fediverse does, so that's one big difference.
The singularity ain't real, buddy.
They make every kind of chip for networking: WiFi, Bluetooth, home routers, cable modems, fiber, switches, NICs, DPUs, etc. And that's 1/Nth of their business.
Your entire premise is pretty obviously wrong. Acquisitions are not the main driver for any kind of growth, whether revenue or the code base

Is it a loophole? There's only a very small cabal of high priests who actually understand how the tax system works and uncle Sam isn't paying as much as the billionaires and corporations. I assume it was all deliberate.
My experience has been different. My major use case for AI tools these days is writing tests. I've found that the generated test cases are very much in line with the domain. It might be because we've been strictly using domain driven design principles It even generates test cases that fail to show what we've missed
Very cool! If Megacorps insist on pulling the Web 2.0 promises of APIs from under us then we will build them ourselves in the spirit of adversarial interoperability.

I just paid for some graphic design work. What I got back looked pretty, but was very clearly derivative of generative AI. I feel defrauded...
welp, he is the most accomplished CEO in history; usually in the context of SpaceX someone will jump in and assign all the credit to Gwynne Shotwell. In this context, however, since the company is 18-months old and he's been droning on about AI for like a decade, he probably has a lot to do with it. Ofc people hate him so click-bait.

What's the stance on security for handling private tokens/cookies/sessions/etc?
I don't disagree with this statement, fusion researchers do care about energy loss when they're evaluating fusion reactor feasibility. They talk more about neutron loss, bremsstrahlung radiation and synchrotron radiation instead of blackbody radiation. A paper on this: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2104.06251

So I did some searching, and found this stack exchange asking this question: https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/415028/how-do-fu... . They argued that because fusion reactor plasma is optically thin, it doesn't radiate following blackbody radiation law. This textbook also say that:
https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/abs/physics-of-plasmas/...

I tried to search more about plasma energy losses, and it becomes extremely complicated with insane amount of equations. One thing that I can get is that you can't model fusion reactor plasmas as a blackbody radiator because plasma is that complicated. If plasma is simpler then we should either have fusion already or we have given up on fusion research a long time ago
While a lot of folks are touting SmartTube for avoiding ads, I will install it to finally have a way to change the YouTube playing speed on the TV. Thanks for posting.

Press and hold for 2x playback is one of the more useful features of the YouTube premium experience and the lack of speed adjustment on TV is quite annoying.
These papers don’t explain how pertained LLMs learn in-context, because the simplified models in these papers are either pretrained for the same task that’s tested in-context, or the weights are handpicked by humans to do GD at inference time.

> That is how gpl1 is healthy, because eating less and fasting is healthy.

These medications do so much more than this. First, they have all sorts of direct metabolic benefits beyond just eating less, and secondly, studies are linking them to non-metabolic benefits too.

You don’t have to go to the gym to stimulate your bodies, but most people require it because they won’t do it naturally in their life. You don’t need GLP1s to regulate your metabolism, but it seems most people aren’t doing it naturally in their life.

In 1970s, people died of hunger. We’re also not in the 70s and won’t be going back. Our society has a surplus of unhealthy food and an uneven distribution of healthy food. The food is engineered in labs to be addictive. Our society doesn’t make room for regular physical exercise. So many things wrong, and until we start regulating the food industry, the best we can do is correct mistakes.

I’m also not sure there is any real evidence that the GLP1s are causing malnutrition because of “hunger signals”. But ensuring proper nutrition of vitamins and micronutrients is not that hard to monitor.

I’ve never used a GLP1 antagonist. I’m not one to brag to strangers on the internet, but I view myself as rather healthy and athletic. It’s a lot of work, it’s not that fun, it takes a lot of time. I just don’t believe that the only right way to be healthy is waste an hour in the gym every morning and do “hard work”. If there was a CrossFit pill, I’d be here supporting that too.

Some things (working out, vaccines) are basically just a net-good on the health of society. Why isn’t it possible that this is included in that list?
It's pretty handy if they _are_ there, and/or if they've trained others on the codebase.

Not related to Mastodon, but in the case of Matrix, the server software ranges from "runs on a raspberry pi with zero issues" (Conduit) to "even with 16 GB of RAM, federating with a large enough room will exhaust Python's heap" (Synapse).

In the case of Conduit, a Matrix server with a few private rooms and users consumed only 32 MB of RAM, using RocksDB for storage. The equivalent on Synapse required about 5x as much memory, despite using SQLite. In practice, Synapse instances will use Postgres since many appservice plugins specifically require Postgres and don't support SQLite. Not to mention, SQLite isn't optimized for frequent, concurrent writes.

I do sincerely think the choice of Rails, and the fact Ruby only got a compiler people use recently, means that most Ruby programs require fairly beefy processors and plenty of memory in order to keep up with a few hundred clients.

Of course, I am extrapolating based off my experience running Synapse (a Matrix server) with Postgres. There is a chance Mastodon scales much better.
Hello, the spirit of No Child Left Behind
Can it help you work in large messy codebases or is it good only to "build tic tac toe games in 5 mins"?
Not "Node.js code" specifically as Node.js itself can't be compiled to wasm. JavaScript can be compiled to wasm, but that won't include the whole Node.js standard library and doesn't seem to be what you are asking.

Check out Deno for a sandbox that is getting there. Their new release does (aim to) support most Node.js code, where it previously and intentionally did not support node_modules nor CommonJS to the best of my knowledge.

If you care more about wasm than sandboxing in general, one project called javy is interesting, but you'll quickly notice they bring their own IO library and not much else in terms of something that compares to Node.js' API.
This is certainly an important question. We use a third-party vault to store tokens/keys.

I think there are issues with hotspots. The most popular tweets are seen by a big chunk of the userbase, which means they have to operate on a fanout model where each tweet is pushed to individual followers.

I believe IRC doesn't operate like that. The messages delivered to each user don't need to be retained, and I assume the size of the largest channels is in the tens or hundreds of thousands.
Very little money in it - POTS has been a dead end for a long time. The only thing keeping it alive is regulatory demands, and those have been steadily losing enforcement because only rare edge cases still care.
The loophole appears to be the reduction/elimination of taxes at death, not the common equity loan that middle class folks take advantage of as well.
>extremely competent and high spirited developers are giving up like this.

I'm pretty sure the median IRC server runs for much less than 7.5 years. I don't think anyone expects volunteers to dedicate decades of their life to admin duty. and it seems fine and healthy for the ecosystem that he is telling people they have a few months to move their bots to a different server.
Or, anti trust fears.

gah, I remember once when I was working at a company, and we got an email complaining "stop hacking my systems!"

in the end, we had a load-balancer at .1 balancing a bunch of backend servers.

the complainer would have traffic to .1 that the load balancer would receive. Thing is, old or stale connections would drop out of the load balancer mapping table, and eventually the backend server connection would not get mapped, and the guy would get traffic direct from the backend server real ip address.

the traffic was actually generated by the customer, but these "unrelated" backend servers looked like they were hacking him.

What about the lumen from opulo?
The code would be getting written anyways, its an invariant. The difference is less time wasted typing keys (albeit small amount of time) and more importantly (in my experience) it helps A LOT for discoverability.

With g3's immense amount of context, LLMs can vastly help you discover how other people are using existing libraries.
In one of my databases class, we had to use Perl (cursed language) and B-trees to implement a database from scratch. We tried building a "universal relation" system where any table could join with any other table, which Graham's paper proved was NP-complete.

# Join paths multiply exponentially when Sales department exists in multiple buildings

%employee = ('1' => { name => 'Alice', dept => 'Sales', building => 'West', project => 'Alpha' });

# Each B-tree indexes one specific relationship: employee_id → dept_id → building_id

%employee = ('1' => { name => 'Alice', dept_id => '1' });

%department = ('1' => { name => 'Sales', building_id => '1' });

%building = ('1' => { name => 'West' });

sub get_employee_location {
my ($emp_id) = @_;
return $building{$department{$employee{$emp_id}{dept_id}}{building_id}}{name};
}

The normalized approach means each B-tree has a clear purpose and lookups follow a defined path. The "Universal relation" seems intuitive, but it's definitely computationally expensive.
