In some downstream applications such as filtering data (say, good/bad), I am training simple NN classifiers based on relatively small datasets. So, my personal confidence in the classifier is not so high, I'd like to reject things that are "definitely bad" and keep anything that may be good. Even more, I'd like to put aside "maybe good" data for human verification and keep "definitely good" data.

In other words, I think I have a practical use case for calibrated confidence scores, which I definitely don't get from my NN classifiers. They are right a certain percentage of the time, which is great, but when they are wrong sometimes they still have high confidence scores. So it's hard to make a firm decision based on the result without manually reviewing everything.

So my question is: is this an appropriate use case for PyRo? Will training my NN classifiers blindly converted to probabilistic classifiers and sampled appropriately give me actually reliable and useful confidence scores for this purpose? Is that the intended usage for this stuff?

I'm surprised by the complexity of Go's generic constraints, given the language's focus on simplicity. Things like the difference between "implementing" and "satisfying" a constraint [0], and exceptions around what a constraint can contain [1]:

> A union (with more than one term) cannot contain the predeclared identifier comparable or interfaces that specify methods, or embed comparable or interfaces that specify methods.

Is this level of complexity unavoidable when implementing generics (in any language)? If not, could it have been avoided if Go's design had included generics from the start?

I have a Framework 13 with an i7-1260p from work. Overall it is a solid laptop, I did not run into any major problems with it. My personal choice is still likely a ThinkPad due to my long, good history with them. I won't give a strong recommendation for either as I am not current on the state of the art.

My major complaint is the heat and noise it creates when in a Google Meet (in Firefox though) and that I can not rely on the standby mode not draining the battery when I need the laptop. I also have problems with docked operation (TB4 dock), but I think these are likely Linux problems, so I won't hold it against the hardware.

I like the idea and philosophy of Frameworks being easy to service/disassemble and can attest to that fact. The exchangeable ports are great for in-office work (keep an HDMI for the meeting room, an USB-A port for your colleague's thumb drive in there), but for my work from home they are essentially useless. I just keep 2x USB-C and 2x USB-A, usually only one USB-C is used for the dock connector. Build quality and overall look and feel are decent as well, but of course this is personal preference.

I have a long history with ThinkPads and never ran into problems with them. I know that some of the laptops from the same batch as my most recent one have swollen batteries by now, but they could be swapped out, acceptable after about 5 years of daily use. If I had to chose a personal laptop now, I would very likely check in on Thinkpads again, I liked the T440p and T480 series. I also have a Legion model that is holding up fine. The Framework 16 looks interesting, so I would need to check that out as well.

P.S. I know there are tweaks and fixes for most of the problems above, some I have applied, some I haven't. I am ok with the current state.

This doesn't necessarily find the best parameters, and it doesn't necessarily do it easily. From my reading, it will converge on a local optimum, and it may take some time to do that.

In theory, I don't see why the kernel couldn't have a parameter-auto-tune similar to this. In practice, I think the kernel has to work in so many different domains, it'd be impossible to land on a "globally good enough" set of tuning heuristics.

I'm far from a kernel developer, so I'm ready to be corrected here.

IMO if we ever see something like this deployed widely, it will be because a popular distribution decided to install it by default.

These "AI said this and that" articles are very boring and they only exist because of how big companies and the media misrepresent AI.

Back in the day, when personal computers were becoming a thing, there were many articles just like that, stuff like "computer makes million dollar mistake" or "computers can't replace a real teacher".

Stop it. 2024 AI is a tool and it's just as good as how you use it. Garbage in, garbage out. If you start talking about sad stuff to a LLM, chances are it will reply with sad stuff.

This doesnt mean that AI can't be immensely useful in many applications. I still think LLMs, as computers, is one of our greatest inventions of the past 100 years. But let's start seeing it as an amazing wrench and stop anthropomorphizing it.

There’s an existing ecosystem that already works with the constraints of not having generics. If you can write all your code with that, then you won’t need generic much. That ecosystem was created with the sweat of library authors, dealing with not having generics and also with users learning to deal with the limitations and avoid panics.

Generics have been tremendously helpful for me and my team anytime we are not satisfied with the existing ecosystem and need to write our own library code. And as time goes on the libraries that everyone uses will be using generics more.

You can say that about literally any mythos/origin story, including bible and probably old hebraic stuff too.

The problem is when... maybe not so smart or experienced in life people come, and desperately need things to be clear and simple for them. Clear yes and no, good and evil, good wins, just tell me what to think and what is the right way. People don't want to hear about boring life facts or how life is infinitely complex and everything and everybody is some form of shade of grey. I can see it well and alive these times too so additional education ain't gonna save us.

The only difference with say bible is that nobody sat for a while few centuries after (if anything actually happened at all, pretty skeptical here) and wrote it down clearly enough so that major deviations from that point were hard to justify. Until of course new canon is written and everything old is thrown out of window... would love to see how original biblical verses read compared to over-translation that happened 1500 years later, given what was left in mostly old testament I'd say it would read pretty horribly and be completely incompatible with our modern values and ways of life. I'd even say Vatican would rather destroy such evidence, no sense keeping such an atomic bomb around in vaults.

Maybe archaeology will eventually shed some objective light on this.
This should have been obvious before the fact to anyone who understands how CSS selectors work in browsers.

As in, they are matched right-to-left, which implies that a selector like ”p a” first selects all the <a> nodes, and for each of them, it then traverses up the DOM tree until it encounters a <p> node (selector matches) or the root node (selector doesn’t match).

That said, the traversing shouldn’t happen for plain tag selectors like ”h1”. There must be something wrong with the library they used.
Interesting! Looks like it's genuine then.

I'm sure that the lawyers decided that ARM must enforce its licenses, especially when a license holder has explicitly violated the terms in a public fashion. If they don't at least automatically try and enforce their position through legal processes, ARM risks devaluing their IP and losing future negotiating power and give.

I'd be surprised if there was anything but cold hard contract negotiations going on behind the scenes that will shortly end in an amicable settlement and another 10 years of ARM based QCOM chips.

Yeah, first sentence in your link:

> The CDC estimates that six in ten adults in the United States currently live with a chronic disease such as cancer, heart disease, or diabetes.

For the latter two: perhaps they should eat less garbage (food is relatively cheap in the US (which can be a good thing), but it makes it easier to overdue it) and exercise more (which is harder to do when you have to drive everywhere).

For the first: maybe the US should get a health (insurance) system that isn't so crazy, so less-preventable diseases (like cancer) aren't so traumatic, cost-wise. Of course the GOP has tried to get rid of the largest improvement (the ACA/Obamacare) in decades.

> I have a long history with ThinkPads and never ran into problems with them.

I have a long history with them too, but I did ran into problems in more recent (T440, T480s) models. E.g. their USB-C charging ports are _very_ prone to breaking when there are frequent slight amounts of up/down force and there are only two and you need one working for charging to work. I have "bricked" one laptop this way and the only way to repair it is to go to a repair shop which can solder replacement ports on it... Not an issue I ran into with the framework the USB-C ports didn't break due to wear (yet) and even if they did they are trivial to replace (as you just replace the expansion card they are on).

11gen (i.e. first generation) Framework did had that issues, but that was mostly a issue of the 11gen Intel CPU being used.

It's not really much of an issue anymore with newer CPUs.

Through you won't beat M2+ Macs when it comes to battery life.
Yeah, and it is not a living thing that's saying that. That's the whole point. You found a way to give a computer a specific input and it will give you that specific output. That's all there is to it, the computer is incapable of intent.

Perhaps users of these tools need training to inform them better, and direct them on how to report this stuff.
I've a Framework 13, which I got at launch (11th Gen), and have upgraded that to 12th Gen motherboard as well as swapped the hinges and backplate for a better less wobbly display. Probably the best laptop I've ever had, but it is pricey. I'm not sure theres much cost savings with upgrading vs buying whole new laptops every 18 months, but at least I'm not throwing out material. I have the old 11th Gen motherboard in a coolermaster case with spare RAM/SSD waiting for me to get time to make it into a media server.

I then got the Framework 16 with GPU module. Upgraded the camera but no CPU/GPU upgrades thus far. Use Keyboard and Numpad for the input panel options, but I've the LED panels to swap out when showing it off. The GPU is beefy enough that I can avoid also having to pack my steam deck, but you do need the better power supply, it drains battery even when plugged in otherwise. 165Hz display is great, but I do miss the 3:2 ratio screen. My only real issue is battery life in general. You do need to get it plugged in often.

I think in hindsight I prefer the FW13, it's just so much easier to travel with and the AMD APU probably has enough GPU power to play the limited games I do so I may move back, get the new 2.8k display and AMD motherboard. I much prefer the 3:2 display.

In both cases I got the DIY edition and found cheaper sources for RAM and SSD. I have had no issues with compatibility.

I intend to stick with framework longer term though. For me the benefits outweigh the cons, and its a more fun and personal ownership experience.
Experience with support was reasonable, I did have an issue with the 12th Gen board where it wouldn't power on, but a few days of back and forth with email support got it revived and I avoided having to do an RMA.

The swappable ports are a very handy feature - as well as configuring it to what I think I'll need I can carry a bunch of spares easily. One trouble is that they also work on other laptops, so I find myself loaning e.g. the HDMI port to Macbook Air users. And I sometimes don't get them back. Oh well.

I also 3D printed out the cupholder attachement, which gets a few laughs. Not sure I'd use it for real though....

I wouldn't recommend it to everyone, if you want an utterly premium experience with the best OLED displays and battery life etc theres better, but I've had a lot of value from my two, and I seem to have convinced at least one local biz to swap to them because of the ability to fix them quickly when parts break.
Not through a single system, the advantage of diversity rather than winner-takes-all.

The world cup final itself (and other major events) is distributed from the host broadcaster to either on site at the IBC or at major exchange points.

When I've done major events of that magnitude there's usually a backup scanner and even a tertiary backup. Obviously feeds get sent via all manner - the international feed for example may be handed off at an exchange point, but the reserve is likely available on satelite for people to downlink on. If the scanner goes (fire etc), then at least some camera/sound feeds can be switched direct to these points, on some occasions there's a full backup scanner too.

Short of events that take out the venue itself, I can't think of a plausible scenario which would cause the generation or distribution of the broadcast to break on a global basis.

I don't work for OBS/HBS/etc but I can't imagine they are any worse than other broadcast professionals.

The IT part of this stuff is pretty trivial nowadays, even the complex parts like the 2110 networks in the scanner tend to be commoditised and treated as you'd treat any other single system.

The most technically challenging part is unicast streaming to millions of people at low latency (DASH etc). I wouldn't expect an enormous architectural difference between a system that can broadcast to 10 million or 100 million though.

I would reverse the question: if it can be done by a BPF module, why should it be in the kernel?

Distributions turning it on by default is another story. Maybe it deserves to be shiped on all the time but that's not the same thing as being part of the kernel.
