Haha, makes me remember a comment from just the other day on Phoronix flexing that he booted into KDE, and it used only 1.7GB RAM (as a way to prove how lightweight it is).

But on a related note this is the first time I hear of this distro (which doesn't mean an awful lot, maybe I was just living under a rock). I don't really see any big differentiating factor on the home page after a quick glance. Why should one use this instead of other distros? There are a couple available targeting low-end systems
It's based on Cypher, which is a query languages for graph databases. The author/s probably thought the data is more graph-like than relational.

The problem is probably not what videos the platform hosts itself (as long as those are legal themselves), but having the recommendation algorithm controlled by a foreign power.

Maybe taking over the recommendations algorithm (or banning any kind of algorithmic feed other than chronogical) would have sparked less concerns. But changing the algorithm to make it less addictive would probably effectively kill the platform through loss of user interest.
Gunning for it? I donated and then click the “I donated stop bothering me” button on mobile and it says “great we won’t bother you for a week”. I’m never donating again as they can’t even respect the donors. They don’t need the money either and now I feel twice the fool. Don’t fool me a third time. Donate the money to a charity that feeds the poor. I hope people continue to hammer them for their poor behavior

Neat! Really curious how you managed to outperform DuckDB 5x. Do you see yourself maintaining this long term? would love to use polars as my one stop shop + plugins rather than pulling in additional tooling.
Parellelism doesn't imply directionism at all.
Straya. I haven't been keeping up with modern user-owned equipment, the NBN ONT doesn't present SFP but I have what may be the first generation which probably will never (need to) be replaced. Maybe newer builds do get SFP presentation choice? We all got 2x RJ11 2x RJ45, the RJ11 are now SOL because nobody is doing phone presentation, you get VOIP for landline over the RJ45 if you get anything (I wound up on a cisco ATA mini thing to get me back to my landline handset before I ditched VOIP.

2x RJ45 means you can try-before-you-buy a second overlay ISP on the fabric, or run two if you want some kind of higher layer diversity. Its GPON done badly and we will never get symmetric services, which an SFP presentation would be very nice for, and things max out under 1GBPS.

You'd think they'd include a term that signaled this is about vectors then! I foolishly assumed this was a new term for "orthogonal", but words don't really need to be meaningfully related to their roots to be meaningful themselves.
As a passionate retail investor, I have always been fascinated by the power big fund houses have, and I want to cover the gap by providing the same power in the hands of all retail investors. I am a solo entrepreneur and build these models from scratch in-house and the goal is to keep this website free for all users while providing the best in-class tools to give that edge through technology and data to retail investors that will help them stay above the curve and will help them make confident investing decisions. Behind this platform are several AI models trained on US stock market public information of the last 10 years, 100+ popular investing books, SEC filings and 300+ key financial metrics.
You can ask queries in plain simple english and the models will convert that into SQL queries and fetch companies - along with detailed company analysis of each stock along with charts and tables. You can even edit the SQL to adjust conditions. Also provided are Sources that models use and detailed thinking behind each answer - so that investors can see for themselves before making any financial decisions. You can get a detailed company analysis for any company and valuation model to analyze fair value of any stocks. One of the key features is unlimited chat for humans. There is also a library on 'Discover' page to get you started.

Please checkout my website and critical feedbacks are most welcome.

I am open to add features that investors feel will add value to their research and stock finding. Happy Investing!

Currently website is optimized only for desktop+ screens.
Almost any place away from cities. I've got AQI <30, down to 5 or so, almost the whole year for example. (Apart from during an occasional bushfire)

Cities and industrial sites are the exception with bad air quality, not the default.
Apple and Google control exactly what data apps can possibly harvest, via their OS permissions. There are millions of apps on their app stores. If apps are acting like spyware then the government should pressure Apple and Google to fix the issue at the OS level. Otherwise it's just whack-a-mole.

No they didn’t either. There were only 48 Democratic Senators and 2 Independents who were convinced to caucus with the Democrats.

I do have the theory that the more untyped the language is, the larger the islands are: Fronterra (JavaScript), Cloudderra (YAML), AILandia (Python) are way bigger than Java, Swift, DotNet, etc. even though the prejudice saying goes that the problem of software engineering is stale old enterprise code in Java/DotNet.

That might be the case, but the libraries seems to be more reusable!
I don't have a shotgun, might I might consider getting one if drones have been flying low over my property.

The disconnect here is that, if I hadn't read the article, I would assume Jennifer was saying "Elon Musk may be the hero we need, the outsider who can finally reform the bureacracy." But a careful reading shows she isn't really saying that. There is some polite language in her tone and an unwillingness to antagonize unnecessarily. If you put 2 and 2 together, then, she's saying that the most likely outcome is that Elon Musk won't be able to reform the government either (but good luck to him, hope something good comes out of it, etc).
Do you have a source that the act is being interpreted by the government to include prohibiting network operators from serving traffic? That definitely seems like it would be a stretch given the text of the act

The act prohibits

> (A) Providing services to distribute, maintain, or update such foreign adversary controlled application (including any source code of such application) by means of a marketplace (including an online mobile application store) through which users within the land or maritime borders of the United States may access, maintain, or update such application.

> (B) Providing internet hosting services to enable the distribution, maintenance, or updating of such foreign adversary controlled application for users within the land or maritime borders of the United States.

With the following relevant definition

> (5) Internet hosting service.—The term “internet hosting service” means a service through which storage and computing resources are provided to an individual or organization for the accommodation and maintenance of 1 or more websites or online services, and which may include file hosting, domain name server hosting, cloud hosting, and virtual private server hosting.

Which I've basically read as "it will be removed from app stores and not be allowed to host content on US servers". Which as a matter of policy seems more than sufficient to reduce the reach of tiktok to a tiny fraction of it's current US user base.

> i absolutely do not magically trust billionaires just because they’re from the US… and i certainly don’t trust them more than i trust any government. there’s reasonable arguments that they’re more dangerous than governments. after everything we’ve seen these social media titans do, it’s absurd to trust them.

What does it mean to "trust" them?

Right now you are on hacker news, a social media site which is owned by ycombinator and is run by a board of some billionaires. What are you doing here reading the articles on the front page and posting comments??

During many years of operating several-thousands of nodes production clusters on Kubernetes, I've never seen any of these observability tools that query kube-apiserver work at that scale. Even the popular tools like k9s make super expensive queries like listing all pods in the cluster that if you don't have enough load protections, can tip your Kubernetes apiserver over and cause an incident. If you're serious about these querying capabilities, I highly recommend building your own data sources (e.g. watch objects with a controller and dump the data in a sql db) and stop hitting apiserver for these things. You'll be better off in the long run.
Or they won’t?

After botching the handling of Covid and trying to overturn an election the electorate seems to have only been angry at Trump for 1 election before deciding to give him another go. You must have seen the videos of Trump supporters lamenting that he wasn’t hurting the right people when they were harmed by his policies, and their only feelings on it were that it was an honest mistake and he’ll fix it with time.

Nothing about our current political winds is in the realm of predictability as far as how the electorate will react
Llama 8B is multilingual on paper, but the quality is very bad compared to English. It generally understands grammar, and you can understand what it's trying to say, but the choice of words is very off most of the time, often complete gibberish. If you can imagine the output of an undertrained model, this is it. Meanwhile GPT3.5 had far better output that you could use in production.

It's not amazing by choice. Web apps for internet video playing would work fine, companies just make their mobile websites hostile as possible to push you towards their mobile app where you can get the same experience but with significantly more data collection on the app's part.
There was a crisis, they banded together, identified the enemy withing and started a campaign to strip them of their rights. They knew they can't get their way with persuasion so they go straight to coercion and might-makes-right logic. Call them what you want, they aren't principled people.

Very much a scum rising to the top scenario. We saw the illiberals making a power play during COVID, they're cut from the same cloth as all the other authoritarians. They were even using the old "you're killing us" logic and people making up a you-struck-first narrative is a reasonable precursor to some really terrible things.
A Mac with 16GB RAM can run qwen 7b, gemma 9b and similar models that are somewhere between GPT3.5 and GPT4.

Had the exact same thought. It's simply not clear that the statement and the question relate to the same thing. And this is the kind of thing that matters to other portions of the test, such as what a set of rules allows or prohibits.
These are made using two or more puzzles that share the same cut pattern. Within a single puzzle, the shapes are (normally) unique.

The answer is no, it does not violate the 1st amendment, as proven by the fact that the courts are allowing this ban to go into place.

The government makes laws that effects platforms all the time. And Tiktok is perfectly capable of also following the law by doing what the courts have ordered (divest from its ownership basically).
Doing a quick search in the repo i see multiple issues where people report using vscodium but none of them seem to report any immediate breakage. If you're experiencing a problem with it, it is only in vscodium?
Apple and Google can only control the data shared via the operating system. They can’t control what user behaviors that applications record on the server.
Generally, when we construct models we do so by defining what probability they give to the data. That's a function that takes in your data set and returns some number, the higher the better.

Technically, these functions need to satisfy a bunch of properties, but those properties matter mostly for people doing the business of building and comparing models. If you just have a model someone already made for you, then "the higher the better" is good enough.

It's also the case that these models have "parameters". As a simple example, the model of a coin flip takes in "heads" or "tails" and returns a number. The higher that number, the more probable it claims that outcome to be. When we construct that model, we also choose the "fairness" parameter, usually setting it so that both heads and tails are equally likely.

So really, it's a function both of the data and of its parameters.

Now, "maximum likelihood estimation" (MLE) is just the method where you fix the data inputs to the model to whatever your training data is and then find the parameter inputs that maximize its output. This kind of inverts the normal mechanism where you pick the parameters and then see how probable the data was.

Presumptively, whatever parameterization of your model makes the data the most likely is the parameterization that best represents your data. That doesn't have to be true, and often is only approximately true, but that presumption is exactly what makes MLE popular.

Finally, it's worth describing the origin of the name. When we look at our model after fixing the data inputs and consider it a function of its parameters instead we call that function a "likelihood". This is just another name for "probability" except it's used to emphasize that likelihoods don't meet all the technical properties I skipped up above. So "maximum likelihood estimation" is just the process of estimating the parameters of your model by maximizing the likelihood.
This is a very good point and is on the roadmap.
Oh you didn't understand it?

It’s an attempt to compel the reader into understanding their own flawed rationale by presenting an argument under the reader’s pretense that is obviously flawed.

But you were confused by it and didn't understand the point I was trying to make?
iOS has alternative appstores now -in Europe.
It's in this presentation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbIk7-JPB2c

The most significant part I took away is that when safety "alignment" was done the ability plummeted. So that really makes me wonder how much better these models would be if they weren't lobotomized to prevent them from saying bad words.
Being authoritarian is the excuse though the only real reason is that it's threat to US economic and political supremacy in the world.
I was unconvinced as well, but then the devs pulled it off. In a heartbeat (or block), a whole network switched consensus models, and didn't die. In my eyes, that's like moon shot level skills. I became a believer.

I ran a 150k GPU ethereum mining operation. I was unconvinced they could pull it off. In that heart beat, they also decimated the entire GPU mining industry, not just for ETH. But, a whole ton of chains that aren't even under consideration in this bull run. All that power, estimated at 18-25m GPUs, given back to the grid. They "solved" a huge problem with crypto.

I also could have invested in the ICO, but I didn't believe some kid with questionable coding skills could build a chain to compete with bitcoin. I guess what I'm trying to say is that convincing yourself isn't always the thing that should be in your way. Is the risk convincing yourself or is it just diving in and accepting things the way they are, or working to make them better.

Javascript made the barrier to entry for creating a package nearly zero. In contrast, it's fairly difficult to publish something on Maven Central (the main Java repository). You need to prove you own a domain, setup a GPG key for signing, manually register with Sonatype, which is more than many people are willing to do. I think that explains it much better.
That’s a project that would take generations, and meanwhile, the federal Department of Education that could coordinate such a project is on the chopping block.

Easy to maintain for a decade or more of use. No dependency on remote servers subject to the whims of another company.
I do think code should be shared when you are benchmarking. He could be using Polars' eager API for instance, which would not be apples to apples.
Fairly standard language for describing what an ERV does.

Low-CO2 outdoor air vs high-CO2 indoor air, if you prefer. Important for how air-tight modern energy-efficient construction is.
either way it’s an unsubstantiated ad hominem attack, not even addressing the substance of the article but rather inferring the author’s are on “the right” and therefore it’s a “hit piece” and dismisses it immediately. The grandparent is taking a political stance

I'm confused how the heat retention could be around 80-90% without expending a ton of energy.

Naively, if on average the same amount of air goes in and out, I'd expect the temperature of the heat exchanger (on average in space and time, eventually) to be the average of the outside and inside temperatures. If the outside is hotter, the air coming in would be cooler than the outside air (which is a win), but it couldn't be cooler than the average of the temperatures. So, it would still not be anywhere as cool as the inside air, which doesn't sound like 90% heat retention.

Is the heat exchanger attached to a heater or a cooler? The linked video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDCu0IbEn8Q , would suggest not, as it talks about saving the energy needed for cooling or heating. Is there another clever trick?
Asus PG48UQ? LG also makes one with the same specs.
People breathe, so you need outdoor air to replenish the oxygen and get rid of the carbon dioxide. That's "fresh" air.

Unfortunately, outdoor air has particulate and ozone pollution. Filtering it gives you "clean" air.

In winter and summer, you also heat or cool the indoor air for comfort. If you just pump in outside air, you effectively also pump out the indoor air. This wastes the energy that had gone into heating or cooling it.

These systems save that energy by transfering heat between the air that's getting pumped in and the air that's getting pumped out.
The filtration is icing on the cake. You want an HRV or ERV in any location where you want heating or cooling for any non-negligible portion of the year so that you can have energy efficient fresh air.
How are we stagnating? We’re growing every year, it’s like the number one policy goal of most governments is to make the economy grow each year. 10 years ago you might get predicative spell correct for text now we have generative AI like ChatGPT.

If you think Republicans can do anything effective, you clearly havent been paying attention in the last 8 years.
Maybe "rare" was the wrong choice of word. Maybe I should have said such situations are "highly contextual". It's one of those things where if you have to ask the question "Do I need this?" you almost certainly don't. And even in situations where you actually do need it, it's strongly preferred to "find a way not to need it" for day to day things (aka downsample, or be judicious about what you load into the analytics environment). I can only speak to my experience in FAANG, but even though we had the infra and budget to run huge distributed queries, it was highly discouraged unless absolutely needed!

This is my problem with databricks. It seems like in the course of selling their product they have taken the received wisdom of "do not run expensive and complex compute clusters unless absolutely necessary" and turned it into "it's fun and easy to run distributed compute clusters - everyone's doing it and you should too" regardless of how contextually appropriate it is.
Surprised there are not more comment on this huge news.
