> It's wild that with the educational discount ($499!) the base model is within striking distance of a Raspberry Pi once you add in the power supply, case, heat sink, and an SSD.

Uh, what? There are lots of nice things about the new Mac Minis for sure, but this is the weirdest and most wrong thing I think I've heard thus far.

I went to Micro Center's website and pieced this together (all parts are official Raspberry Pi brand unless I indicated otherwise):

Raspberry Pi 5 8GB: $69.99

Case: $9.99

PSU: $11.99

Active cooler: $4.99

52Pi NVMe adapter board: $7.99

Inland 256GB NVMe SSD: $24.99

Total: $130.

You could buy almost four of these for the price of one Mac Mini with edu discount.

Side note: The SSD above appears to be literally the only 256GB NVMe drive that Micro Center carries. Just goes to show you how much the rest of the PC industry has moved on while Apple's still stuck on 256GB. Also, for $13 more you can get a similar Inland 512GB SSD instead (a $200 upgrade at Apple, whether you get edu pricing or not).

Does APFS support hard links across volumes? I don’t think I’ve heard of any other file system doing that.
> Hopefully Nintendo learned its lessons from the Wii U

But... this is in direct contradiction to what you're saying.

The Wii U was essentially a beefier Wii and it failed. It wasn't revolutionary, wasn't much of a new form factor. But it did have beautiful games.

If you look at all the Nintendo consoles that ate up the competition, none of them are "iterations". They're brand-new things. DS, Wii, Switch were all major departures from what came before them.
They eventually did credit "the guy," Casey Muratori, who's a very accomplished game engine developer. He has a series called Handmade Hero where he writes an engine and game from scratch and streams it live.
I have to think that if mobile phones presented an actual interference threat to aircraft avionics systems they simply would not be allowed on board. You cannot assume that all the passengers will follow the instructions to turn them off/disable the radios.
Yeah, honestly not too surprising. Happy someone made the experiments though.

I think we know that NN with limited data tends to over-fitting, so to train LoRA you need stronger regularization mechanism, that including:

* Fixing A as projection matrix so it doesn't rotate to an "easier" orientation for B to learn.

* Periodically merging AB into W_tuned to simulate the full-model finetuning behavior.

I think fundamentally, LoRA is sound because gradient matrix is low-rank by its nature.
My favorite fun fact is that, sandwiched between his revolutionary work on circuits and information theory, his actual PhD dissertation was on genetics; like something kind of unrelated to the rest of his life's work and largely forgotten. As a current PhD candidate, I think about that a lot.
> For example, I recently looked into self hosting Zotero. It is so under documented and complex that there is almost no way one could self host that

I've come across this a lot too. But what I've found is that it mostly applies to open source projects that offer a hosted paid version, so it kind of makes sense they'll make the experience slightly worse than it could be (consciously or subconsciously), as it pushes people to their hosted solution. I don't particularly like it though.

Doesn't seem to be the case for Zotero specifically, but your comment reminded me that I've noticed this more often lately.
It would be beyond hilarious if Apple now went and implemented this safeguard. I don't even think a hard reboot would be necessary, simply if the phone hasn't had reception for some preset period of time, or if there's been more than some amount of incorrect logins, or no successful logins in some given amount of time, revert everything to the freshly booted state, encryption and all.
What do you mean by “stopped giving clues”? The clues are all around you. Hair styles, clothing styles, accents, places, etc.
> So there is partial evidence for it at least.

Where? If you want that to be partial evidence, you have to parse that sentence as:

(they’re randomly networking and intentionally rebooting) to thwart this specific law enforcement attack

which means

(they’re randomly networking to thwart this specific law enforcement attack) AND (they’re intentionally rebooting to thwart this specific law enforcement attack)

All you show is that they’re randomly networking, not that it’s for thwarting even any law enforcement attacks, so I don’t think what you say is partial evidence.
I think shoehorning fp onto go just results in people having a wrong first impression of fp, damaging them for years or forever. fp is so much more than map, filter and reduce.
Historically the electoral college was a compromise that allowed for the counting of slaves as 3/5 of a person for the purpose of taxation and voting without having them vote. Consider a state like South Carolina which at the time had about 50% of its population as black. How could the 3/5 of the 50% of the people get added to the total otherwise? Any method would be a hack, but this one had the benefit of being able to create a justification that it protected small states from being dominated by large states.

If you're American living in one of the majority of states that aren't "swing" states, I don't think you can escape the feeling when you vote for president that you're going through a kind of charade since the winner is going to be determined by some small number of voters in 6 states.

Honestly, I think "nepotism" and "occupational persistence" are more about how we feel or judge the phenomenon, and what are prior expectations are.

If sons and nephews are bad managers and a business suffers... that's nepotism. If they're good managers and the business succeeds, that's a family business. if the local authorities hire family... that's nepotism, because we have an expectation that it should be done differently.

A lot of words are like this. Positive and negative words with positive or negative associations that we use to describe the same thing... depending on the association we want to emphasize.

But once homo retcom has words... we think in those words. So, we think of nepotism (for example) as this distinct thing, and expect this nuanced definition to account for the negative or positive aspects.

This paper is basically a formalization of that process.
Oh interesting, I heard about The Case of the Golden Idol a few years ago but it wasn't out on a system I owned- I see that it's available on Mobile free with Netflix. I'll check it out immediately!
Cognitive cost is the most important cost to minimize.

A Rust project's cognitive cost budget comes out of what's left over after the language is done spending. This is true of any language, but many language designers do not discount cognitive costs to zero, which, with the "zero cost abstraction" slogan, Rust explicitly does.
aha - makes sense. thanks. will update.
> You certainly can run distros without systemd

Does it then become not a full OS anymore? Mirage is what I linked to above.
Any of the states that aren't party to it could file suit, and the ones that are against it probably would. There's also the bald reality that the NPVIC does overall advantage one party and disadvantage the other, and that "other" party is known to have much more of an influence in the Supreme Court.
It would be good to have an actual accounting that isn't just the cost of the Web. The Web also provides massive benefits environmentally. People drive / travel less because of online events, e.g. gaming, online services, e.g. banking, and remote work. Offices use much less paper than they used to. Power-hungry radio transmitters are replaced by lightweight bytes on a wire.

I'd love to know the net effect of all of that. And the "digital industry" in the first paragraph: is that everything digital globally, including crypto? Or is it just the stuff this WIG can address, i.e. the Web?
> Soft vs hard is based on how closely the world tracks with modern physics/science

Maybe it's not productive to quibble about definitions like this, but FWIW I don't agree with this criteria. I would argue Greg Egan's work, for example, is just about the "hardest" sci-fi there is, and yet much of that work takes place in universes that are entirely unlike our own.

Personally, I think what makes for "hard" sci-fi is that the rules of the universe are well-laid-out and consistent, and that the story springs (at least in some significant part) out of the consequences of those rules. That may mean a story set in the "future", where we have new technology or discover new physics, or "alternate universe" sci-fi like Egan's.
lol imagine thinking in 2024 that bashing Trump is going to change anyone's mind. I didn't even vote for him the first 2 times.

There are a few concerns about the electoral college, but I don’t consider it broken in any meaningful sense. After all, the Constitution has survived over 200 years with it in place, which makes it the longest-serving constitution in force today. We cannot say for sure that it would have survived so long under any proposed alternative.

The first issue I would aim to address is the variance in voting power from district to district. In Wyoming, voters have a significantly lower constituent to elector ratio, ie greater voting power, than those in e.g. California.

This issue is a recent development due to the Permanent Apportionment Act of 1929, which fixed the number of reps in the House. As the population has grown, the distance between the average population vs the minimum population of a district has increased.

The remedy is to simply uncap the size of the house and increase the number of representatives. This would quantize the population over a greater number of electors thus reducing the remainder, resulting in relatively more equivalent voter power.

As an added benefit, it would increase the amount of access each voter has to their Representative in the House, and make it practically more difficult to corrupt a majority of the House members.

One time when I stopped to let a pedestrian cross at a crosswalk with button activated flashing lights that were flashing.

While stopped, I watched not one, but fifteen freaking cars proceed through the crosswalk without stopping...in a 15 mph speed zone..with a giant box truck stopped in the opposite lane waiting...with flashing lights that clearly indicate tou are required to stop. I was absolutely blown away.

Then there's the seeming 3/4ths of drivers who don't look straight in front of them when they start driving to make a right turn when waiting for a gap in traffic. I've put dents (deliberately) in several of their hoods since I watch for this like a hawk and am ready to yell and smack their hood as soonnas they start moving. I've had them yell at me when it was my fault for not making eye contact, when I literally watched their eyes the entire time I approached and they never once moved them from staring left to see if there were pedestrians.

I don't understand why dangerous driving gets so little enforcement and why the penalies are slaps on the wrist. Let's revoke licenses and confiscate cars.
> Although the current electoral college doesn't work well, I'm not sure the Americans would prefer to remove it completely

I think the electoral college is working as intended to balance out power between larger more powerful states and less powerful states. Though I also don’t believe the popular vote is necessarily ideal from the perspective of maintaining more diversity of thoughts and opinions which is useful for a healthy republic.

As someone who’s lived in mostly rural states I’m glad because it prevents places like California with large populations with pretty homogeneous opinions and world views to dominate the nations elections. I get folks in those larger states would also feel equally left out as well.

I view the electoral college as a means of accounting for the “entropy” of votes among states. There’s more diversity of thought and opinion between say a rural Wyoming farmer and a worker in Hawaii than there is among most Californians living in say the 50 square miles of Hollywood.

In a fashion it’s similar to how network effects dominate large in markets where companies lucky to get a market first or to grow first get an unfair network advantage. Antitrust and tax laws ideally gently balance out this winner-takes-effects to provide more diverse and robust markets. Most hyper successful companies aren’t necessarily better at what they do and there’s a large amount of luck in success. Of course they still have to work hard and be effective to capitalize on the opportunities. Similar things happen among states in the USA.

As a 2x technical founder I find 'building' to be the easy part - talking to customers, convincing investors, and having access to great mentors usually isn't.

You can always have a second-go with a product launch, but with key investors and high-stake moments you often only get one shot.

Having a safe data-driven practice environment could potentially help more technical founders excel, it could even inspire more to start companies.

But even with non-technical founders, practicing is crucial - because great ideas deserve great delivery.

This could potentially unlock a wave of founders to go from 'I built something' to 'I built something people want AND I can convince others of its value.'

Many of these are points I would agree with, except:

> [comparisons to] commenters in this submission

I wouldn’t make claims as to the level of accomplishment here, not least of which because I’m not willing to pick any one definition of accomplishment.

For example, I’ll avoid the temptation to conflate visibility and popularity with productivity.

> be cautious in criticizing their workflow unless I can demonstrate something better

Yes, making assessments based on comparisons against alternatives is important. And I’m inclined to give their approach attention and consideration, especially for people with their mindset and skillset. But generally, I’m not willing to grant any particular level of broader applicability for a given audience.

So I would reframe this discussion as a question: “Which of their practices are likely to work for [me/my team]?”

Like so many things in life, valid generalization is hard. Especially hard when no one knows the correct answer, so instead we assess better and worse. So, reinforcement learning. And RL in complex environments with large action spaces can be very data intensive!
In big organizations, it solves a lot of problems. Docker isn't perfect (hence interest and growth of Nix), but in day-to-day use it's fairly replicable.
Any suggestion that generated code is inferior to human written code because the generated code can contain vulnerabilities is ridiculous on its face. Human written code, despite all of the tools we have to assist with the creation of secure code, is full of vulnerabilities AND the problem is getting worse - not better. I guess I should be grateful because developers writing insecure code is the whole reason I have a career, but let's not fool ourselves into thinking that just because a human wrote the code it's less likely to contain vulnerabilities than generated code.

It takes a different mindset but clean and legible LabVIEW code can be written. There was a small community of professional LabVIEW developers who generally write very legible and good code. Different from what most people are used to but good.

> It's remarkable that language developers have set out to do clean sheet designs (golang, rust) and somehow managed to settle on gross syntax.

You are talking of your opinion as some kind of facts. What you call gross syntax is good enough for people to write enormous amount of useful software that millions and millions use daily. The same can't be said for Clojure.

Giving some people more votes than others "prevents" tyranny of the majority by substituting it with tyranny of the minority.

And the Founders had far more nuanced opinions on this subject than modern right-wing politics tends to imply. Consider Federalist Papers #22:

"The right of equal suffrage among the States is another exceptionable part of the Confederation. Every idea of proportion and every rule of fair representation conspire to condemn a principle, which gives to Rhode Island an equal weight in the scale of power with Massachusetts, or Connecticut, or New York; and to Deleware an equal voice in the national deliberations with Pennsylvania, or Virginia, or North Carolina. Its operation contradicts the fundamental maxim of republican government, which requires that the sense of the majority should prevail. Sophistry may reply, that sovereigns are equal, and that a majority of the votes of the States will be a majority of confederated America. But this kind of logical legerdemain will never counteract the plain suggestions of justice and common-sense. It may happen that this majority of States is a small minority of the people of America3; and two thirds of the people of America could not long be persuaded, upon the credit of artificial distinctions and syllogistic subtleties, to submit their interests to the management and disposal of one third. The larger States would after a while revolt from the idea of receiving the law from the smaller. To acquiesce in such a privation of their due importance in the political scale, would be not merely to be insensible to the love of power, but even to sacrifice the desire of equality. It is neither rational to expect the first, nor just to require the last. The smaller States, considering how peculiarly their safety and welfare depend on union, ought readily to renounce a pretension which, if not relinquished, would prove fatal to its duration."

It's still slavery slavery slavery. The tyranny of the majority the founding fathers were worried about was from Northern abolitionists. Framing this is abstract philosophical terms is disingenuous, the political and culture context of the time matters. The Electoral College would never have been conceived, much less enacted, if the preservation of slavery wasn't a non-negotiable term for Southern states to remain in the Union (and it eventually failed in that regard.)
