Amplification would absorb one photon and replace it with one or more new photons. Definitely not quantum.

Personally, I always wonder why point-to-point connections are called "networks". The information is not quantum at any node, even if there are multiple nodes in a system.

Then there's "quantum internet", which makes no sense at all. What are we going to do, run direct fiber from every computer to every other computer directly? You can't hop safely or anything. Don't get me started on the total bullshit that is the "quantum repeater", now we need "quantum switch" too?

We call serial port connections things like "link", "connection", etc. We typically don't call them networks until we start linking them all together with simple routing logic that doesn't inherently require access to all the unencrypted information the packets contain and such.

To me these are all just signs that the whole scheme is/was and will forever be mostly crankery.

Quantum networking is an oxymoron. It doesn't allow end-to-end encryption and in exchange gives back extremely fragile single link security properties.
When we had cattle the cow paths showed up in the pasture, even where there was no obvious destination (for the shortest route to explain it). Legend has it that cattle form these paths along magnetic lines.

Anyway, the veracity of that legend doesn't matter, but it is here merely to illustrate the idea that perhaps we subconsciously build our roads on lines that chickens won't cross, rather than them being aware of the road?
On that point, I don't think most adults understand the ramifications either!
So you understood the point or would you like it explained again?

Interview with the lead author of Let Me Speak Freely?
JSON Mode has been one of the biggest enablers for working with Large Language Models! JSON mode is even expanding into Multimodal Foundation models! But how exactly is JSON mode achieved?

There are generally 3 paths to JSON mode:

1. Constrained Generation (such as Outlines)

2. Begging the model for a JSON response in the prompt

3. A two stage process of generate-then-format (or generate-then-retry)

Although most of the field has converged on the first method, Let Me Speak Freely? is a new paper challenging the potential tradeoffs in achieving JSON mode with constrained generation.

I am BEYOND EXCITED to publish the 108th Weaviate Podcast with Zhi Rui Tam, the lead author of Let Me Speak Freely? A Study on the Impact of Format Restrictions on Performance of Large Language Models!

As the title of the paper suggests, although constrained generation is awesome because of its reliability, we may be sacrificing the performance of the LLM by producing our JSON with this method.

The podcast dives into how these experiments identify this and all sorts of details about the potential and implementation details of Structured Outputs. I particularly love the conversation topic of incredibly Complex Structured Outputs, such as generating 10 values in a single inference or say HTML templates.

Liberals were demonized by the far left just as much, being castigated for reminding the public of the importance of "freeze peach"(sic) when the left wanted to suppress "misinformation" and pointing out that the Popper's paradox of tolerance did not excuse one's own intolerant behavior.
For Terraform, most of the issues with conditionals can be resolved by creating dictionaries dynamically and looping through it to generate resources.

You get the bonus of controlling the resource id and being able to selectively delete resources without worrying about ordering.
I agree he will benefit from some people doing better, but there are structural things which have been brewing for years. Yes, houses became much less affordable during the pandemic, and rents soared then, too, but that won't be fixed any time soon. The fact that men go to college at a much lower rate and the non-college jobs suck, that won't be fixed quickly either. There is a movement to on-shore manufacturing again, but that will take decades.

In general, Trump will benefit from the recovery of the last several years. It's unfortunate that many people don't understand how this stuff works.

That's not open source, only public source, which is a major limitation.
It may come down more to how one defines "enemy" and measures size. Romney was famously ridiculed for calling Russia out as the US's "number one geopolitical foe", rather than China. Many commentators changed their tune and decided he was right after Russia invaded Ukraine. Yet, Russia isn't as large as China, either by population, economy, or militarily.

Is China really an "enemy" and if so, to what degree compared to other nations?

I'm not sure what you mean. The XMPP Standards Foundation still has a Board, as that's required by the foundation's bylaws.

"Flag days" in a decentralized network have to be used with caution. Ask whether it's better to communicate without a specific feature, or whether it's better to split the network into fragments which are unable to communicate with each other. The former is almost always preferable, however we used the "flag day" approach for mandatory server-to-server TLS, for example (which actually isolated Google Talk from the main network).

As for acks, those were first defined in 2004, and have generally been implemented since the beginning in clients that need it (e.g. mobile clients, and every client since WiFi and laptops became ubiquitous).

I can think of a number of reasons that XMPP is often overlooked when it comes to modern IM, but this is a weirdly specific thing to pick out, especially when I can hardly remember a time it wasn't implemented everywhere.
I'm going to just add a question to this - if you assume that privacy is a concern that a large enough base of users have that your service can generate enough revenue to support it - why do you think that celebrities and the like are in the group of people who would care about privacy, the main selling point of your service.

It seems to me that, by definition, it is the quality they care least about as they already do not have it anywhere else in their life. And you want them to be attracting more users by being "the celebrity" which is a person without privacy.
I mean - generally speaking the US taxpayer did. If you're curious - you can see this funding here: https://fundingmap.fcc.gov/home

The most recent of which was BEAD (The Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment Program) which allocated 42.45 BILLION in broadband rollout funding.

If you think those companies are paying for the lines out of their pocket... you are very confused about the economics of broadband rollout.

The best case is that they are loans at sweetheart rates that translate into additional subscriber fees tacked onto the customers. Most times it's just literal grant cash, though.

Even if people are disciplined about versioned interfaces with documented compatibility (which is something I've personally never seen, except perhaps in a small number of very high quality open source repos), you still end up with deployment headaches. Making any sort of backwards incompatible change requires a high level of coordination and opens up the potential for mistakes that break service. With a monorepo you can deploy a backwards incompatible change all at once, or at the very least you can see in a single commit/PR what the changes were, instead of split across multiple repos.

Talking down to the majority of voters is a large factor in why the democratic party lost this election. The US needs a strong democratic party just as much as it needs a strong republican party. Dems gave us the modern concept of a weekend, public services that are vital to social mobility, and many more things.

Rather than resenting a large part of the nation for their vote, my hope is that we all practice humility and reflect on the truth regarding why this happened and not just chalk it up to "over half the country is stupid".
It is getting AI. Text Editing is something Notepad will get in a future release, around 2065.
This strong need to be accepted by a whole country is something I see mentioned a lot by a particular group of people that have never really been "othered" in their life. Coming to Japan is quite a shock for them because they experience being a minority for the first time in their lives. I was born in Canada and have dealt with micro-aggresions and blatant racism my whole life there. Living in Japan I can say I feel no strong desire or care to be accepted. I'm not here to win over the acceptance of a country. I live my own life quietly with the small group of strong friends and community that do accept me. I'm perfectly happy and would definitely be much less happy if my goal was to be seen as Japanese (with all the rules that this also entails). Integration to me is simply respecting everyone. There really is no big song and dance needed to be seen as the "accepted foreigner". Just live your life.

There are now a lot of XMPP extensions to fit the mobile messaging use case better (usage of push notifications instead of a persistent TCP connection etc.), and at least two clients using them: ChatSecure (although the push server seems to be broken currently) and Monal.

So cryptos are rediscovering pension funds? Younger people financing retirement of older people.

I am not sure what do you mean by 95%+ efficency here. But if you are talking about the entire process of getting the energy/power from the nuclear reactor this is not possible. You are still limited by carnot cycle. Even the most advanced reactors like HTGRs [1] operate with efficiency about 45%.

If you have some other definition of efficiency than the standard then it would be good if you define that.

The polls were herded to show ~50/50 support in order to prop up Harris. In reality, she never stood a chance.
> They don't need to, when they can very trivially understand the impact it has on their pockets.

Of course they do. You can be angry and still need to make a decision about which option is most likely to make your situation better.

Anyone who actually thought through Trump's intended policies would know they won't make that particular situation better (such as bring down the price of housing or goods), except maybe the crypto bro's. In fact large tariffs will raise the price of goods (oops!).

But most people don't think things through. And if they were watching TV -- which most of the older electorate does -- then they can't even think things through because they're bombarded with superficial scare ads.

Yes, I do.

The recent returns on VTI are irrelevant. The market goes down, the market goes up and nobody can predict which way it will move next. We only know how it behaves over decades, as a result of economic output.

Robinhood, money market accounts, and HYSAs are offering high interest rates because we are in a high interest rate environment. (Which usually correlates to a high inflationary environment.) So yes, if Robinhood is behaving like any other bank, they are happy to offer their customers 4.5% in order to buy bonds (and whatever else) at 5-6% because even though the margin is small, the volume more than makes up for it.

The first phone to ship with ultra-wideband was the iPhone 11 in 2019, and the first phone to ship with 6GHz was the Galaxy S21 Ultra in 2021. The Intel AX210 was the first wireless card to ship with 6GHz at the end of 2020 and the first laptop to include it from MSI shipped in 2021.

With submodules you end up doing this dance where you have to do the following steps in order to make a change:

1) Create a PR in the submodule with your changes and create a PR in the main repo with the submodule hash replaced with the one in the 1st PR
2) Merge the submodule PR (now the main repo is pointing at an out of date hash in the submodule)
3) Go back to the main repo PR, update the hash, rerun tests, merge it (assuming tests pass)

It often feels burdensome, particularly when you need to change a single line of code in the submodule. It invites race conditions when multiple people work on the submodule simultaneously (so in step 3 above your tests might not pass because somebody else merged something into the submodule repo in between 1 and 2). It also creates weirdly ambiguous situations like what if someone updates the documentation in the submodule - do you update the main repo, or do you simply allow the main repo to lag behind the submodule's master branch?

The Next Internet, And how you'll get paid
It’s an ouroboros.
I had access to the Internet. The whole thing was in English! Can you believe it? I had no choice but to learn English.

In hindsight, I'd say the most important for learning English was that I was an ignorant teenager. I just... typed completely broken sentences into forums that today I wouldn't even be able to fathom how could I get the grammar so wrong. I got banned several times from Freenode channels, for pestering people with unintelligible questions and then not being able to understand the answers.

I was unaware and shameless and that shamelessness allowed me to make progress. Were I to learn English today, I'd probably be too self-aware to embarrass myself trying to use a language I can't use, and that would make it far more difficult to learn anything.

I suppose that's a good life lesson in general. You can't get good at something without being embarrassingly bad at it at first. If there was a pill to make you unaware of your own embarrassing self, that would be a learning pill. In fact, I guess we should really be learning new things while drunk!
That is why you always regulate the provider/seller (ie. the social media site) and not the consumption side. We already learned this in the war on drugs, prosecution of consumption has never really worked all that well.
The most interesting part of this article for me is at the beginning.

> Now imagine that calls could specify alternate return points, letting the callee decide the statement to return to:

// Dreamed-up syntax
fn f() {
g() alternate |x| {
dbg!(x); // x = 123
};
}

fn g() -> () alternate i32 {
return_alternate 123;
}

This sort of nonlocal control flow immediately calls to mind an implementation in terms of continuation passing style, where the return point is given as a function which is tail called. Nonlocal returns and multiple returns are easy to implement in this style.

Does there exist a language where some function

fn foo() -> T throws U

is syntactic sugar for something more like?

fn foo(ifOk: fn(T) -> !, ifExcept: fn(U) -> !) -> !
