Goldstein, The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism (1948) has a description of the game which agrees with Veblen, Luttwak, Bueno de Mesquita & Smith, and probably a few others over the last five thousand years.

If the mid wishes a circulation of elites, they must ally with the low against the high; if the high wishes to prevent this, they can ally with the low against the mid.

A crucial point on which Goldstein, Squealer, and the 2 Ronnies, agree is that no matter which way these alliances are sorted in theory, somehow in practice the low always wind up more or less where they started.

What was your intended use for the split screen? It sounds like you wanted a tablet with an e-ink screen, which the Remarkable is ostensibly not.

I bought my R2 originally with the same mindset, of jailbreaking it to run custom apps, but ended up loving it for what it is: the best and most expensive reading and note-taking device in our era :)

CREATE TABLE etc in SQLite are fully transactional, as are updates to PRAGMA user_version which you can use to store a logical schema version number. I built Notion’s SQLite migration system for client devices on those primitives.
Why is it then that this concept only appears in Trek from before 2005 or so? The modern series barely show PADDs at all. No one uses them like this, and most things are holographic.

This is not in any way a commentary on technology or ergonomics. This is 100% an artifact of the show being produced in a time where multiple physical pages on a desk is the only way people knew to operate. It was the only option at the time, so they just used that same concept with a different prop. We didn't have multitasking supercomputers in our pockets when TNG was produced, we had physical books that had to be spread out on a physical surface.

Trek is not a prediction of the future, it's just a TV show.
prolly make sure your host machine cuda is also 12.4 and if not, update the other cuda versions I have on the pastebin to the one you have. I don't think it works with cuda 11.8 tho, remember trying it once

but yea, can't help you outside of runpod, I haven't even tried this on my home PCs yet. for my usecase of serverless API, it seems to work
I just dealt with a lot of sqlite concurrency stuff recently. When I first got started, a lot of recommendations were that apps should create a connection and hold that connection its the duration. This works great but I feel like it's worth noting that this can get dangerous when you're working in a multi-threaded context.

You can have one thread in the middle of stepping through the results of a SELECT prepared statement and if another thread resets the statement and runs it again, that original thread will start stepping through the results from the other thread's call. Or if both threads begin a transaction, you'll get nested transaction errors.

Things get really confusing, especially because you might not notice the problems until the app is running on a slower machine.

In a very similar case, Australian oncologist (specializes in melanoma treatment) Richard Scolyer underwent a modified melanoma treatment for his glioblastoma multiforme. His friends from the same melanoma department treated him.

He is still alive and without recurrence more than one year after the original diagnosis, even though his GBM was particularly aggressive.

Arbitration is just another power grab by companies, originally the government would keep this sort of excess and greed in check, as we have successively dismantled that capability the people of this country had to turn to the courts to seek redress and enforce the cost of consequences of mismanagement back on to the balance sheets of the companies via legal liabilities.

This was supposed to be the mechanism that enforced market penalization envisaged by capitalism, especially in sectors where choice was limited or no other options existed.

Companies got tired of having to deal with lawsuits that resulted from the misbehavior of their organizations so they started pushing binding arbitration clauses, and because no one gives a fuck about the people in this country they have been able to push this as an effective and cheap mechanism to shut customers up and remove their rights.

However you feel about corporations, they are entities that exists only because our social contract allows them to, they haven’t always existed and if we keep granting them or allowing them greater rights and freedoms than the actual people in this country, they may not always exist.

Memory is memory, irrespective of whether it's "code memory" or "data memory".

As someone who's worked in both stacks, I dislike both ActiveRecord and Hibernate for different reasons. ActiveRecord because it pushes the database layer into the model layer (and because Rails pushes the model layer into the view, this often leads to N+1 queries) - and Hibernate because it's a mess of optimisations that nobody understands, weird lazy loading behaviour, it saves records in the background when it feels like, has inscrutable transactional behaviour and wants be in charge of your database schema (thankfully you can turn that off). ActiveRecord's saving graces are a decent-ish query API and that it popularised migrations - Hibernate's that it encourages a repository pattern.

As you write, jOOQ and similar are much better approaches. For Ruby, Sequel is a better library than AR for a number of reasons.
Seriously nobody thought to use SVD on these weight matrices before?

You can enable developer mode and remote into the device. There are several API frameworks for building extensions. This has been one of the better experiences with hardware (RMP) I’ve ever had. What else are you looking for in a “jailbreak?”

Firefox beat Internet Explorer and Chrome, in turn, beat Firefox. In an alternate universe, Google could have backed Firefox instead of building their own browser, making Firefox number one. Mozilla was and still is heavily supported by Google.

Gecko may indeed be the reason why it didn't happen. Supposedly, it is an engine with a lot of baggage and hard to work with, which is the reason why there are so many KHTML/Webkit/Chromium/... based browsers and components and so few based on Gecko. Google wanted a fast browser to support their webapp ecosystem, they found it was better to use Webkit as a base. Firefox eventually caught up, but it took many years, and we still don't have an easily integrated Gecko-based engine.
This topic is related to the work of Michael Levin’s lab, which I only recently found out about and have been digging into. They’ve released a bunch of papers, and Michael has given plenty of in-depth interviews available on YouTube. They’re looking at low-level structures like cells and asking “what can be learned/achieved by viewing these structures as being intelligent agents?” The problem of memory is tied intricately with intelligence, and examples of it at these low levels are found throughout their work.

The results of their experiments are surprising and intriguing: bringing cancer cells back into proper functioning, “anthrobots” self-assembling from throat tissue cells, malformed tadpoles becoming normal frogs, cells induced to make an eye by recruiting their neighbors…

An excerpt from the link below: Our main model system is morphogenesis: the ability of multicellular bodies to self-assemble, repair, and improvise novel solutions to anatomical goals. We ask questions about the mechanisms required to achieve robust, multiscale, adaptive order in vivo, and about the algorithms sufficient to reproduce this capacity in other substrates. One of our unique specialties is the study of developmental bioelectricity: ways in which all cells connect in somatic electrical networks that store, process, and act on information to control large-scale body structure. Our lab creates and employs tools to read and edit the bioelectric code that guides the proto-cognitive computations of the body, much as neuroscientists are learning to read and write the mental content of the brain.

I don't think this explains much about peoples' blithe acceptance, just the formal and legal mechanism on which it rests. Any action you can conceive of can be formally declared with the declaration of law; this does not imply people have, should, or will accept it.
The problem with immunotherapy--going all the way back to Imhotep--is the same problem with antibiotic resistance: directed evolution. Kill the cancer cells that are susceptible to one treatment (be it chemo, radiation, immune system, or something else), then the cancer cells that are not susceptible survive and continue to multiply. We get a remission, but it comes back later with a vengeance. They know this, so oncology has pivoted to "combination therapy", but many of the official treatments are so toxic that combining them may kill you faster than the cancer.

But you are right about the commercial aspect. More money in treatments than in cures. If a cure ever comes, it is more likely to come from "the people" sharing notes over the internet than Pfizer or Novo Nordisk. But with the amount of money involved, it is an open question as to how long such an internet--where people are allowed to freely discuss things--will survive.
There's a couple uses cases (beyond the obvious) that I like with the chatbots

1. Brainstorming building something. Tell it what you're working on, add a paragraph or two of how you might build it, and ask it to give you pros and cons and ways to improve. Especially if it's mostly a well-trod design it can be helpful.

2. Treating it like a coach - tell it what you've done and need to get done, include any feedback you've had, and ask it for suggestions. This particularly helps when you're some kind of neurospicy and "regular human" responses sort of escape you.

What started as a week long project to experiment with uptime checking with Next.js and AWS Lambda turned into a multi-year project (approaching 4 years now).

It now covers a much wider use case (status pages, uptime monitoring for websites, APIs and cron jobs).

I'm thinking of hiring folks to grow it more, but the workload is still under two hours a day, before work.

Mh, I'm neither a Neurologist, nor any level of good at being a musician.

But it goes further than that. Now after a few years, I start to recognize patterns in songs and this removes a huge amount of cognitive overhead. For example, there are very classical rhythms in rock and metal. These were very intimidating two or three years ago, because it's so many notes to look at and a lot of them fast and it's just a lot of stuff to look at.

Now, on a guitar, I just recognize 18 bars of gallop-rhythm on string two and my right hand just does that, at least at the speeds I can do. Or you can recognize how a song is in a certain key and my left hand is just used to what happens in such keys. Sure, you need to learn the notes, but the physical motions are largely set already.

Similar things on a keyboard. In complex sections, a lot of thought can go into hand position and which finger to use to press a key, because you may need to prepare movement of your hand a few notes early or you can't hit a certain transition. I've noticed that something other than conscious thought optimizes that as well.

My biggest takeaway is that music is hard, and the human kinematic system is entirely amazing.
Yes; I have no clue what "protecting that process" even means. Protect it from whom, in what scenario? Clearly the domestic nature of this process is real and already eroding domestic values and protections, whereas the threat to national security is at best hypothetical, at worst intentionally obscured for fear of evaluation. How can we even evaluate if the foreign actor is a greater threat to our lives than the domestic actor?

This is not restricted to state-vs-state squabbling, either. The "no-fly" list and use of "terrorist" are equally concerning in how easily they're accepted despite enabling arbitrary, antisocial, and clearly unjust behavior of the state that undermine the theoretical values that the propaganda of the state itself advances.

As with any technology, there are its supporters and its detractors.

I would say that it's popularity has definitely waned in the last 10-15 years, probably in part due to Javascript gaining more ground, perceived performance problems with Ruby and the fact that many frameworks in other languages adopted some of Rails's best features (such as convention over configuration, DB migrations, unified project structures, etc.) and ignored its worst parts (such as monkeypatching).
Make a userscript that adds the checkbox and inserts a marker in the user's comments. Add the option to hide anything that doesn't include the confirmation marker.

That way you only have to interact with the best, most diligent users of your script, and you don't have to endure the horrors of having to deal with the scum who are too lazy (or stupid) to install the script.
> I am unable to get these things to do anything useful.

My experience is widely different than yours. I use Copilot extensively to explain aspects of codebases, generate documentation, and even fill in boilerplate code for automated tests. You need to provide the right context with the right system prompts, which needs some effort from your end, and you cannot expect perfect outputs.

In the end it's like any software developer tool: you need to learn how to use it, and when it makes sense to do so. That needs some continuous effort from your end to work your way up to a proficient level.

I don't understand what you're trying to say. I mean, have you ever asked that type of loaded question on discussions on googling for answers, going to Stack Overflow, or even posting questions on customer support pages?

But to answer your question, I spend far less time troubleshooting, reading code to build up context, and even googling for topics or browsing stack overflow. I was able to gather requirements, design whole systems, and put together proofs of concept requiring far less iterations than what I would otherwise have to go through. This means less drudge work, with all the benefits to quality of life that this brings.
Well most engine/emissions stuff legally can't go back to simple/mechanical because of emissions/mpg regulations which prevent it.

As for other stuff, you can still get pretty simple vehicles, but they're getting pretty rare, have to look for them. My 2017 Jeep has power windows and locks, but other than that, it doesn't have GPS, or a complex info-system, or touchscreens, or blind-spot detection or automatic braking, or rear-view camera, or a cell connection, or any else of the modern auto junk (yes I know some people like that junk, feel free to buy vehicles with it); it pretty much just has the feature set of a vehicle from the 90's.
Just wanted to let you know it's not all gray in Qt land.

The open-source Qt is licensed under LGPL. It's not really a mystery. I've built a proprietary app[1] on top of that, and as I explained in my blog post[2], the LGPL allows you to statically link your executable as long as you provide the object files and allow users to relink your app with a different version of Qt.

There's also a lot you can do to drastically limit your binary size. I wrote a little about it on my blog post but haven't experimented that much with it yet. Things like:
1. Compiling Qt from source with only the specific modules needed and using static linking.
2. Use the -optimize-size flag and Link Time Optamization flag -ltcg.
3. Running strip on the resulting executable to remove unused symbols.
4. Use UPX to compress the executable.

BTW, Qt can look very native, if you know how to use it properly (I wish to make it more commoditized!), for example, something I'm cooking at the moment:
