I am reaching to the same point & bumped into this article. Nicely written.
Why the database version [of Logseq] and how it's going?
You said earlier:

> The interviewer made no mistake though

So is it wrong to admit that you made a mistake? :)

And no, it's ok to make mistakes, but it is even better if we admit to them and learn from them (and the faster we do that, the better it is).
Why would people need to invest in a neighborhood? Houses are for living in.
Not quite as old, but my Roomba 620 has been going since February 2014.
The battery, a wheel, and the normal replacements parts have been replaced over the years, but otherwise it still works great.

It’s now going into its retirement home, we are getting a modern one with a station for self-cleaning and a more advanced navigation than the chaos mode, while the old one will take over cleaning my parents’ bedroom.

For those interested in modern vacuums, but want to avoid the cloud, there is Valetudo: https://valetudo.cloud/pages/general/supported-robots.html
I would prefer that the United States scale back military spending while negotiating arms controls agreements with our major adversaries. Arms races are mutually destructive. They distort the economies and political incentives of all countries involved. They create a self sustaining loop of increasing capabilities and perceived threat from both sides, which sucks the political focus and productive capability into a black hole of unaccountable, blind militarism. Further, the cast off last generation weapons get fed to lower capability allies and proxies who go on to try to dominate their regions through one sided violence. Finally, given the existence of nuclear weapons, any move that increases the risk of serious violence between the US and its peer adversaries also comes with a risk of destroying human civilization.

Now you could say that we just have to compete to ensure deterrence. China is building hypersonic glide vehicles and autonomous drones so we have to also. Ask yourself if you trust your political leaders and the political leaders of all competing powers to use these weapons responsibly. I do not, so I think we should not build them.
> are you really that confident that misinformation, hate speech and historical revisionism

I don't think the person you responded to brought those up or attempted to say that. Both could be true. I don't know anything about adversarial-to-human information, but I thought we were better than this (Whataboutism) at HN.
John to me as the youngest gospel, is an attempt to solidify what Christianity was becoming as it separated from the remains of Judaism after the destruction of the temple in year 70. It could have been written as late as 200 CE from what I have read.
In my opinion that is why it diverges from the synoptic books. It had to address the new religion's theology more overtly as it had developed by then. Christianity was becoming popular quickly, once it became clear that pork chops were on the menu and surgery was no longer needed to join.
so how far does the indirection have to be for you to find that it isn't "involved"?

Potatoes feed the soldiers, their commanders and their commanders, all the way to the top.
"Two years ago, however, a study came out of Germany that rocked all of these assumptions. Five patients with uncontrolled lupus went into complete remission after undergoing a repurposed cancer treatment called CAR-T-cell therapy, which largely wiped out their rogue immune cells. The first treated patient has had no symptoms for almost four years now."
Socialism for the rich when it affects them; deregulation, austerity, and price hikes for everyone else. Fun fact: The rich in America receive 2x as much help as social programs do, and that doesn't even count the pork MIC projects that is the defense budget. John Oliver even had a recent episode of how difficult it is to get Social Security. It took me 9 years and a lawyer. You're better off selling your organs than expecting any sort of help in America that doesn't treat you like a criminal at every opportunity.
So, do you think countries like russia, iran and china WONT use AI for their military? That train has gone, and its too late now. The US needs (and 110% will) do the exact same, and most likely have been doing so for the last decade.
For those that prefer text: it seems they use a weaker but faster model for the "predicted output" / speculation. Pretty smart.
Is there some further requirement that the family reside in it as their primary residence for a specific amount of time? What is considered "local"? What if local families are already affluent? What qualifies as a "family", do they need to be married? Who is actually permitted to live with the family?

This idea falls apart very quickly after the first few sentences of followup.
> Which is a reference to the "two hard problems" jokes, the most used is "There are two hard problems in Computer Science: Cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-one errors"

It's just as funny today as when I first heard it in 2002/2003... to which my professor at the time would add:

"But really, naming things is colouring. And cache invalidation is colouring. So really there's only one problem in computer science, colouring and counting... which doesn't sound so hard after all".
> The ban exists as good politics (we don't ship to our adversaries)

Do normal people really view china as an adversary? I see this constantly being pushed by politicians and pundits but, unlike other countries in my lifetime, I don't really see that much animosity from normal folk. Expats who resent the PRC? Absolutely. Racism? Definitely. But there's not much appetite for the demonization of our largest trade partner, nor do I think people buy that we would ever want actual conflict with them—kinetic or economic (sans them doing something comically evil, of course). Genocide aside (for which there is at best sparse evidence available to westerners) most of the ways that they're supposedly our adversaries just seem like what we were brought up to see as "competition".
> Should Taiwan fall, and China choose to ban exports

Are there any "exports" to ban after the fall?

The TSMC production was interrupted by a metro passing by few kilometers away. How can it sustain in a war?
It's combination of several things, one of them is _talking_ to peers, not some written account ( peer review? ) of what the peers say. This is has to be done by upper management only.

If you ran a company that you founded how would you judge a manager? You don't just sit on your ass and hope that someone will tell you about the new manager that was hired. You actively seek information, you grill people, you hold the them high standard of integrity.

Also worth repeating: If the upper management is not doing it it can only mean either of these 2 things: 1)They are not interested 2) They are too incompetent to do it.

So that means we just stop innovating and not try to go beyond what we already have? This is not regression since this has no effect on the robots we already have, industrial robots are on their own innovation branch. These are prototypes, a glimpse into the future at what's possible with more experimentation and technological progression.
I think it should be a tribute to Claude-Nicolas Fiechter,
Mika Heiskanen, and Bernard Parisse who came up with Erable. There is Giac/Xcas now that it is its spiritual successor.
Then they should do it by themselves at least don’t give them the permission.

By doing that they are (at least morally) liable for every damage that will be done.

And of course Russia, China etc. will use it and we consider them the bad guys. Maybe a bad idea to follow their lead if you want to by the good guy.
> China thinks of Taiwan as a rogue province because of nationalism

To explain: Taiwan was like the Jerusalem of CCP. The CCP was originally founded as a Leninism crusade on May 4th 1919 because League of Nations fuck-ups
"a unipolar world" that benefits you is a good thing, I get it. But that kind of thinking is the reason why the US isn't very popular on the world stage, even with its allies. Most of them would backstab the US if they could afford it. Thankfully, politics is a coward's game, keeping everyone a little bit more alive unless your ambitions are absurdly grand.
If that was all there was to it then why do white people in the USA have 10x as much wealth as black people? Are you saying that white people are 10x better at going on the healing process, being their own judge, and making changes that benefit them?
Nice! Now we just need models which are morals neutral (because it's always someone else's morals I disagree with being enforced and admonishing me lol), just the best function approximator it can be.

I don't buy liability as the reason why there are no models that I know of which, when given a prompt "Give me the procedure for producing field grade RDX" or "Give me the procedure for producing the purest methamphetamine like in Breaking Bad," actually produce the requested output without pre-feeding "Sure! I'd be delighted to help you make " into the assistant output field.

This isn't about me wanting to make RDX or the world's best meth, this is strictly about creating the best tool which will do its job. The best knife by design will allow its wielder to murder and maim, as well as express his culinary art. Nobody wants a knife which'll turn to instant rubber if it detects human flesh at its edge, because it's never going to cut a steak well. Nobody wants a Llama 3.1 which can't insult jews, because then then they can't read accurate Farsi translations in underground chatrooms without the model going all blue-haired on them!

AI people: stop listening to your '''safety''' teams regarding offensive content and only refer to them when the model alone (without additional human idiocy) will kill or maim someone... otherwise tell them to stay the fuck out so you can finally deliver AD&D true-neutral alignment transformers. This safety shit is paternalistic as hell, you are the modern-day equivalents to the Christian Conservative Right during the 70s and 80s porn and satanic panic right now!

Hey Aditi! Potpie AI sounds awesome—love the idea of custom agents for engineering tasks with knowledge-graph-powered context.
Unsubstantiated claims accusing companies of criminal offense and implying that individual people are also criminally liable. This should be flagged.
For my side projects, I like Next.js + MUI, just because it's fast and easy to get them going (once you've learned them). Next 15 just came out though, and they're about to change up the caching model once more, so time to throw away everything I know yet again, I guess...

For clients, I normally point them at Wix.com if they want something completely no-code. Squarespace is fine too, but Wix seems easier to use.

I used to use Wordpress with one of the page builder plugins (or Advanced Custom Fields for something more Jam-stacky), but with all the drama, I wouldn't recommend that anymore. That Matt guy terrifies me.

For simpler sites, Vite and Astro both seem great.

I don't code in vanilla anymore (too much hassle, not-great developer ergonomics), but I respect people who have the patience for that.

--------------

IMHO though, people would be better-served choosing a framework based on the needs of a particular project/team/client rather than just imposing their favorite one on everything they build.
How do you figure that? The CCP maintained a staggering number of historical and cultural artifacts for decades. What's so special about these that they would want to destroy them? Can you explain why you would view their destruction as logical?

I understand the cultural revolution did result in the destruction of history but people seem to wildly overstate its extent.
The HP 48GX got me through from high school college prep to EE/CS. I also happen to own an HP 48 overhead projector display and a thermal printer. Now, I just need an overhead projector to even use (the former). Sharing software was the killer app of the HP 48 G series, and the app that turned the serial IR port into a universal learning remote was a pranksters' dream because the IR LED was so overpowered.
Poor fanfic long predates the "Backrooms" phenomenon. Its not harmful, or unique to our culture; its just cringe.

If anything its training ground for people to improve their writing. Plenty of authors and writers started on eye-wateringly bad fanfic.

Calling it a "memetic virus" is SCP-like fanfic in and of itself. So, maybe this is a self-referential meta-bit.

That's absolutely not true if only for the existence of TSMC.
First woman to die in 'suicide pod' may have been strangled to death: report
From the perspective of a third party and trying to understand things in a way that separates politics from reality (like PG says arguments involving identity are impossible to resolve), both Taiwanese and what might be called CCP-ese are largely political. Chinese has the rare quality of historically referring to ethnicity, language and culture to a degree not seen in most other peoples. There's also a final and most abstract concept, which is self identity. It is also the main lever of politics because it is almost impossible to change the other three. Both the citizens of the CCP and ROC are (virtually all) ancestry, linguistically and culturally Chinese. But politics has grabbed the stick of self identity and tried to steer it in different ways, leading to many contradictory results. From the CCP's destruction of culture during the cultural revolution, down to things like how (iirc) Confucianism is still taught in Taiwan as part of the curriculum but not China.

Edit: changed ethnicity to ancestry to be more precise.
Gospel of Thomas actually has one of my favorite parables. It really stuck in my mind since I read it:

"The Kingdom of the Father is like a woman who takes a vessel of flour and sets out on a long road. The handle of the vessel broke: the flour spilled out on the road behind her without her knowing it and stopping it. When she arrived at the house she put the vessel down and found it was empty."
Except it didn't exactly work out like that, companies were constantly looking for loopholes to avoid it and it didn't become normalized until the Henry Ford did it voluntarily for capitalist reasons and it payed off.
> So was everything with Taiwan hunky dory when they were a murderous military dictatorship for all those decades[1]?

It's good to remember that Taiwan's adoption of multiparty democracy is very recent, and that a one-party dictatorship preceded it.

And of course the PRC has always had lots of reasons to want to take back Taiwan, regardless whether it fears that mainland Chinese might see the Taiwanese system as preferable to their own.

But the gp's statement that Taiwan's example today threatens the raison d'être of PRC authoritarianism is also quite valid. PRC's authority does not rest alone on a monopoly of force and surveillance, but also reputation for stability and for organizing economic growth. Now PRC population is aging, growth is slowing and suffering from serious structural problems, economic management is becoming more centralized/ideological/less effective.

A successful, freer counter-example of what a Chinese nation might look like is actually quite dangerous to the PRC. Likewise, I think this is exactly why the PRC has kneecapped democracy in Hong Kong.

iRobot hasn’t been competitive in the robot vacuum space for many years. Tons of other manufacturers have eclipsed them for less money or more upscale with substantially better features. Roborock, Dreame, Narwal, Eufy, to name a few.

Roombas might be repairable, but if they get stuck constantly and don’t have useful features (eg, self cleaning mops), it’s not particularly useful to me.
Geopolitical strength ? Its a comon theme they want to emulate the british empire colonial model worldwide ,seeing it as what started the century of humiliation . Change by trade indeed.
> I would say it is better than let small problems became more severe.

Why would you assume a literally mindless chatbot could accomplish that?
Pretty sure the TSMC elite will prefer to work with the new CCP overlord if they were to give them a good enough deal.
Wow. So instead of fighting climate change with measures that are actually effective, we’re going with ineffective measures with good “messaging?” I’m sure the millions of climate refugees in 2100 will appreciate our spot on messaging!
With HD 1.44 MB SCSI and ED 2.88 MB drives, my collection lacking a 2TD drive shall not stand.

Other reference from Adafruit containing an image of the media this drive took: https://blog.adafruit.com/2024/10/31/yes-there-was-a-13mb-tr...

I would bet my left pinky finger that it was even more fragile and prone to errors than HD much less ED media.
Prescribed burns do more than just burn up the dead wood to prevent forest fires. One of the other main goals is to kill invasive trees / plants while they are young. Doing burns in the fall after they have already spread their seeds for the next season would do nothing to prevent this. Another goal of spring burns is to stimulate the germination of specific tree species like the Giant Sequoia, Closed-cone coniferous, and some berry trees (maybe others). Most prescribed burns are done in early to late spring, not sure about summer burns.

If the only goal is to prevent forest fires, then in theory you could just send a hoard of people in to gather up all the dead wood at the end of each season, pile it up and have some nice fall bonfires, which might be fun. The main issue is the terrain harsh and would be very time-consuming.
I'm all in for connectivity, which is very needed all around the world. It's my 3rd spending only behind really pressing social issues, even before education because I think it boosts it so much that we might not need to spend so many resources on it (right now we devote people's lives to teach and pay them miserably), and communication also helps culture and reaching out to more niche interests groups that if you were to simply hang out in your local town.

Appending from multiple goroutine to an in un-synchronized slice is "memory safe", it's completely different from c/c++.

It behave exactly like Java or C# which are also memory safe.
Actually the real page count is quite bigger, because AMD has not bothered to bring their Architecture Manuals completely up to date, so for AMD CPUs you must also read Intel's reference manuals, for things implemented in the AMD CPUs but not described in the AMD manuals, like AVX-512.

The less comprehensive AMD manuals are important mainly for the differences between Intel and AMD, e.g. virtualization.

Yeah, exactly this. You would really want to pursue orthogonal methods for robust unlearning, so that you can still use quantization to check that the other methods worked.
