Maybe I've just hit a streak of good outputs, but I've also been noticing the automatic gemini search when doing google searches to have been significantly more useful than it was previously.

About a year ago, I was saying that Google was potentially walking toward its own grave due to not having any pivots that rivaled OpenAI. Now, I'm starting to think they've found the first few steps toward an incredible stride.
Occurs to me that I could have done ">2k VSPs" and avoided the "2k4" controversy but I expect it'd just cause more arguments about whether ">2k" is valid for ">2400"...
Yep, GitHub Actions isn't meant for production deployment - it's a CI/CD service with a 6-hour limit per run.

But that's the cool thing about WeSQL - you can run it anywhere! Just fire it up like any other container. For production, throw it on ECS/EKS and you're good to go.
Following the trail as you did originally: you do not hire "ordinary humans", you hire "good ones for the job"; going for a "cost competitive" bargain can be suicidal in private enterprise and criminal in public ones.

Sticking instead to the core matter: the architecture is faulty, unsatisfactory by design, and must be fixed. We are playing with the partials of research and getting some results, even some useful tools, but the idea that this is not the real thing must be clear - also since this two years plus old boom brought another horribly ugly cultural degradation ("spitting out prejudice as normal").
I guess "US commercial drones" is the gap or intersection of the relevant Venn diagrams, but that doesn't make sense. Why would you test them over a military base?

I think we can apply some Gaussian blur and assume the statement is an approximate fit to the meaning by remembering that: this was a statement provided by a human in real time, ad libbing in response to a press question. They didn't spend hours drafting it to elucidate all possible logical connections and deftly conceal the unstated meaning by crafting some inference puzzle. Hahaha! :)

Communication between people is successful miscommunication. It's not an API - remember that, engineer! :)
It's not 1:1 the same, but I think the episode "Take me private" from series "Hot Girls Wanted: Turned On", gives a glimpse into that.

It's released in 2017, so more cam-girl than OF model, but it shows a deeply parasocial girlfriend-stand-in relationship of someone that spends a good chunk of his disposable income on that. I think the now common OF model + chatters are an evolution of that has even more tendencies to create girlfriend-stand-in relationships.

> more like ~$16k for 16 3090s

I don't know where did you get that price from but 1x RTX 3090 is $1,900. 16x is ~$30,000.

> The parts are expensive

Now that we invested ~$30k in GPUs, we only need to find a motherboard that can accommodate 16x pcie4 x16 GPUs, right? And we also need a CPU that can drive that many pcie4 x16 lanes?

Well, none of them exist, not even in the server parts sector let alone client commodity hardware. In any case, you'd need two CPUs so even with this imaginary motherboard we are already entering the server rack design space. And that costs 100's of thousands of $$$.

> but there is a competitive market in processors that can do LLM inference

Nothing but the smallest and smallish models. If that existed then why would you set yourself out building a 16x RTX 3090 machine?

Sorry, but you're just spitting out non-sense.

After. They're responding to the public and media uproar, and have to be seen as taking action in response to it, but they're clearly not massively concerned.

I don't doubt that there was some drone activity, but most likely it was regularly authorised operations or testing. Once the hysteria started you may have a few pranksters flying theirs just to add to the uproar.

But when media houses are publishing pictures of what are clearly commercial airliners and passing them off as unidentified drones you know we're in the middle of a mass hysteria moment.
Pretty sure it's not the real pg who suggested "Venmo for dogs".
Well this is a ridiculous take. They are flying around powered. Check out the vids.
And the people that do work night shifts, have their shifts either shortened or extended by an hour as well (at least in Germany, from what I’m aware)
Maybe they state that, but they're not going to test it in the open so it's not a secret.
Osprey has a common power shaft between the engines for fault tolerance, constraining the structure's design, such as the lack of dihedral. This has a different set of design constraints and a different solution to propulsion failure.
This has not been the case for years.

> 7.5% sounds like a small improvement for a structural change introducing ML profile prediction

What world do you live in? There's a cppcon video from 2013 where andrei alexandrescu talks about optimizing the hhvm (hip-hop php compiler) at FB. He mentions that 1% improvement pays for his best engineer for 10 years. I don't know how widely graalvm is deployed but I wouldn't be surprised if it's at similar scale and thus that unimpressive 7.5% translates into ~75MM in savings.
>Once a high profile attack or assassination happens with remote operated vehicles (drones or high-speed model jets), everyone's minds will change in a heartbeat

Pretty much any high-profile assassination with drones would probably have the support of at least half the population (or even more, in the case of the recent healthcare CEO assassination).
Yes that's what I was thinking of after leaving my own comment, but it's a lot less common outside of the US. I have wooden floors.

Otherwise I would definitely either avoid it entirely or cover the whole floor area one way or another.
Using historical advice, if you expect nude photos you post of yourself on the internet to stay private, you might as well go buy a bridge or two.

Oh, but they do. And they will sue to keep it that way.

I don't think being dismissive of consumer rights just because it deals with something icky is wise. We need to be able to have adult discussions about adult content - a lack of this is why the internet has been quietly filled with porn of dubious consent featuring models of dubious ages for the past 20 years.
Pretty terrible guarantee to make since the Pentagon already said it wasn't their drones.
Multimodal Live API with Gen AI SDK
I don't think this is part of the model. It's a control layer above the actual LLM that interrupts the response when the LLM mentions any of the banned names. So if you prompt the LLM directly, without that control layer, you still get full responses.
> python doesn't have anything like a semicolon to combine multiple statements

Python does have a "semicolon to combine multiple statements", and has further (lambda f: f(f)) expressions for complex expressions with local names and scopes.

(not that using either for those would result in pythonic code, but it is certainly not missing from the language)

Who exactly is enforcing this law in reality?
Wow, the FBI has already stated they can't figure these drones out, but you sure figured it out fast, you need to contact the FBI tipline ASAP.
An insincere "ask."

> WhatsApp would need internet to work, WiFi is not ubiquitous everywhere or easy to use, many public ones have some captive app that needs something or other like local phone number - I have seen in some airports(!).

> To get reliable internet on your phone abroad you need data roaming in the first place, if you have that then there is no benefits of WhatsApp over call/sms.

I buy eSIMs, which often don't come with a local number. But I get data.

I don't need to receive normal calls apart from the rare hotel call. Receiving SMSes while roaming tends to be free, while calls aren't.
You're aware that zingy one-liners only make for good conversation on the screen, not real life, right?
Even decently fast glass won’t do a good job of capturing drones at night unless there’s a significant amount of ambient light.

And telephoto lenses with the range you mention with fast apertures are not exactly cheap. A 600mm F/4 goes for $12-15K and is still not fast enough for shooting moving subjects in the dark.
GitHub Actions is completely free, and you can always use free S3-compatible storage like Cloudflare R2, making the entire setup cost nothing.

VPS has two main drawbacks:

Many don't guarantee persistent disk storage
It's not ideal for CI/CD scenarios where you need ephemeral databases for testing
But you're right - if you need a simple, always-on database, a $5 VPS might be a good choice.
To complain about it not having any point on Hacker News, thus creating a paradox where the complaint itself becomes the most discussed and engaging aspect of the post.
Why do the theories not fit? And where's the link to the FBI statement? I believe they said "include rotary and fixed-wing" not exclusively, but this is based on reports received. They haven't actually captured one.

included sightings of both fixed-wing and rotary drones, Robert Wheeler, the assistant director of the FBI’s Critical Incident Response Group, said during a Homeland Security subcommittee hearing on security threats posed by drones.

I think there's something to be said about what we take with the food.

I mostly cook at home, and if I have meat, I'll only season it with some herbs and have some steamed vegetables or baked potatoes with it. If I have ham or similar, I'll eat it raw. This leaves me feeling full for the afternoon.

But having a similarly sized piece of meat at a restaurant, which usually comes in some form of sauce (which I don't go out of my way to eat), will leave me hungry almost as soon as the meal is over.

Anecdotally, when I stopped going to the office every day and switched to home-cooked meals as described above, I pretty quickly lost some weight.
I only use data-only SIMs and my only number is my voip number. I use Zoiper on Android and it is only active when I make outbound calls or have a pre-arranged call. (Voicemails are copied to azure storage and emailed to me)

I got the last of my friends and close family on SMS on WhatsApp and the "but why?" Immediately became "oh my god this is so much better, I can use it on my computer?!"

Whatsapp calls are exempted from Do Not Disturb which my phone is permanently in. I disable notifications from the Messaging app.

Literally never any spam calls or texts, ever. Life is good. Everything else PTSN/SIP, SMS, MMS, RCS, it's ALL lipstick on a really ugly pig.

Oh except shitty sites that think phone numbers are a good verification mechanism and block VOIP numbers. Meanwhile I could just go get an voice+data esim for next to nothing. Just stupid.
How much of those favors will be embezzled by the Trump cartel this time, I wonder?

There are several other cases of misappropriating from different "charities" that weren't tied to an inauguration, but it's become hard to keep track of them all.
The social contract arises from social relations. Ie: the dynamic between maintainer and contributors. It doesn't exist just because stuck something on GitHub with an MIT license.

This is why there's no conflict between the people who are aggrieved at OSS maintainers suddenly closing their software, and the people who say "it says no warranty right there in the license".

The default position is that there's no social contract. It's only through interacting with and building a community does a social contract (and associated expectations) arise. It's not codified in the license.

Ah slack promised me to send me some swag if I responded to a survey done on the phone by a real person.

Interesting question! My view is that many small businesses operate far, far more efficiently than corporations. Most, if not all, corporations I've worked at and dealt with, have been enormously effective. Most small business I've interacted with, generally are quick, efficient, and interested in me as a customer.

That being said however, as a business owner myself, I'd say that the two biggest enemies I have that makes me less effective is the government, my bank, and my accountant.

The government steals my money and makes me jump through hoops for things that should be simple. The bank just generally does not want to do anything but being a branch of government, and my accountant is just an extra drag on my profits forced on me by... the government.

So if the Y-entrepreneurs could find ways of removing those three, that would certainly be something I would pay money for! =)
How do you deal with networks?

I like it that libvirt integrates with firewalld. libvirt via virt-manager also provides you with quick options for dns.

My fear is that this would be a lot of wrangling with qemu before I get there. I am not fond of virt-manager, the UI is clunky, but for setting up a machine it is really helpful.

I still remember in 2013 / 2014 we thought trillion dollar market cap were impossible due to law of big numbers. And even though my model project Apple to be the a Trillion Dollar market cap company I didn't even believe it myself. We now have multiple multi-trillion market cap company.

I wonder how long will we see the first Trillionaire.

Clean room is a legal defense that argues “I implemented similar functionality without consulting the copyrighted work” and sometimes with the addition of “or ever having viewed the original copyrighted work”.

For video games the binary is the covered work, not its disassembly. And disassembly is covered by the DMCA and explicitly allowed for this type of purpose, so that’s not illegal at least. I can see the argument if the clean agent is just operating off the disassembly and a different person is evaluating success.

After all, how does one communicate the goal of a “traditional” source code clean room operation? Well someone has to disassemble the target functionality into a natural language description of the algorithm and communicate the requirements and expected outcomes, the functions if you will, to the agents as well as check success. Why does using a computer to aid that process make things questionable?

IMO the whole notion of a clean room for copyright purposes is weird across the board. Not just when punks do it.
GDPR (including the UK GDPR) is extra-territorial by design.

It applies _by design_ to anyone or anywhere processing the data of an EU or UK citizen.

I suspect that you and I would agree about the wrongs of any law being extra-territorial, but it's where things on both sides of the pond have landed us.

You already linked to the relevant part of the ICO's guidance but *appear* to have misunderstood it: you've inserted an extra requirement - that it requires taking payment.

That's not the case, it applies just as much to free services.

Wordpress.org (and more so the associated services - slack etc) being available and (more importantly) *collecting and processing data* is offering a service.

> Fun fact, in the UK data protection laws will still cover cameras and whatnot taken from a household

They do indeed. In fact, it's not just cameras: as soon as you publicly share information you can't rely on the exemption because it doesn't cover it.

> Yea, but there is no standing for the UK to apply its laws on Matt.

You keep using the word standing, which is very much as US-centric term. I'm not, for a second, suggesting that anyone would try and enforce this in a US court.

Being able to enforce is (as I've already said) an entirely different kettle of fish.

> Their entire claim would be to apply UK law to someone not operating within the country.

Yes. Welcome to the intended design of GDPR.

Although you're right that EU GDPR and UK GDPR are now two seperate things, they're not actually particularly different things: we didn't really amend it after leaving the EU - the two are seperate since Brexit, but the way that they work is the same, albeit absent a few years of caselaw.

In fact, it's not GDPR that's extra-territorial (or intended to be). Have you seen the stuff they've been trying to bring it to make the internet "safe"? That's extra-territorial in nature too.

Ever since the US passed the CLOUD act, politicians on this side of the pond seem to have decided that what's good for the goose is good for the gander.

The government is also the reason I don't rob you, competitors don't cut/jam your phoneline at busy times, the reason you can buy from wholesalers and trust their product not to be poison or counterfeit, and you don't have to pay protection money to the mob.

You'd probably be making far less without the government's involvement.

Just playing devil's advocate.

Yeah, if that -- the semi-fake "interaction" of algorithm-mediated "likes" and comment flamewars (or endless streams of vapid cat pictures) -- is what you're after, fine.

This article was about another Web (like all of it used to be), when that's not what you want. There is a difference.
My quess is that people need to justify their salary.
Agreed. If it is mass hysteria why doesn't the government just say so instead of saying "they don't know".

Some people just can't accept not "knowing it all".
Yanukovych chose to abandon his country and his duty without warning. He had options. Did he fear for his life due to the violence he had started, maybe. But there was no coup. He abandoned his country (he didn't try going to a different part of the country where there were fewer protests) and the legislature removed him because of it. They couldn't wait for him to decide to come back whenever he felt comfortable.
> I don't see much analysis of where this entitlement comes from

Might I propose one possible reason? Take, for example, the Node.js ecosystem. Someone, a while back, built some library, added it to npm, then people used that module in their projects (maybe as a dependency of another module), along with thousands of other modules, and built an application on top of it. So they don't even really know that they are using the project, have no idea about who contributed to it, never saw its page on GitHub etc. Then, maybe years later, when the project is abandoned and flagged as risky by various codebase scanning tools, some poor developer (who maybe wasn't even involved in the initial decision of using Node for the project) will have to find an alternative for the module (and possibly others that depend on it and are also unmaintained). So maybe in this case it's frustration rather than entitlement?
> It's also much easier to repair analog equipment in the field with whatever you've got laying around than digital equipment.

That... depends. Analog equipment tends to have much, much higher component counts than digital equipment, making it much more difficult to troubleshoot defective components (try measuring a capacitor with a resistor in parallel), and the skillset needed to troubleshoot analog vs digital is also massively different.

On the other hand obtaining spare parts for analog circuits is going to be easier in a few decades than it will be for FPGAs and other semiconductors, and completely forget about ASICs.

Author here. I fully agree with you that cheap Chinese resin should never be used in a living area, not even with my improvised ventilation. That's why I said in the first paragraph to "never use [China resin] outside a ventilated factory". That said, I now switched to using locally produced resin which is intended for dentists and is biocompatible (when hardened) and certified for indoor use and only has a class 1 warning level, telling you not to drink it or pour it down the drain. (As opposed to level 3 aerial lung damage with Anycubic resin.) It's quite expensive, but in my case that is tolerable.

And I believe this issue is not black and white. For most people who currently have no ventilation system at all, just adding something like mine will already be a huge improvement. Your article looks great and I agree that that might be even better, but it was not possible in my case:

I did not have any way to properly attach an exhaust, which is why I needed to use a solution that works with the existing window. And when I go on vacation, I need to close that window for insurance reasons. So I needed something that was easily removable, too.

Also, I sometimes work with Epoxy glue and Acrylic paint and I solder electronics and I wanted to make sure that the exhaust will cover these use-cases, too. That said, I think the best solution would be to combine your article and my window cover. I could probably connect a tube from the active coal filter port on my GKtwo directly to one of those fans. That way, it'd be sucking 25% of the airflow through the resin printer and the remaining 75% from the ambient air in the room.

And yes, I wear gloves, goggles, and respirator every time I handle resin. I thought that part was common knowledge, which is why I did not explicitly mention it.
