> Strike up conversations anywhere and everywhere.

I've never been able to do that but in the last 2 years or so I've somehow gained the confidence/ability/interest, whatever it is. Where I live, in the grocery store, on walks, etc people really don't seem to mind short random conversations a lot of the time. Perhaps I used to think they mind because that was the mindset I was in myself at the time.

Where did you get the idea that their funding has been cut? Their appropriations have been steadily increasing for most years over the time frame you call out. In addition to the the congressionally appropriated funds, their "user fees" income has grown significantly to the point where it makes up a very significant portion of their total budget. The impact of almost half of their income coming from the orgs they are supposed to be regulating is _in my opinion_ a better place to look for them overlooking violations from their "users".

Horseshit. Sorry, but there are times to be tactful, and times to be blunt, and this is bluntly idiotic. I got as far as 2 sentences in:

Various models in production are doing exactly that - training a layer which takes the vector out of the last hidden layer, for classification, in place of the language head. I even have one in production right now doing regression using the output of the last hidden layer....

In the case of llama 3 its 4096 * 16 bit = 8192 bytes of information...that's like 8192 characters of ascii. More than enough for most classification tasks... and if you jsut spend any time thinking about encoding the logits for a vocab of 128k... you'll come to the conclusion it's likely to require at least several hundred bytes (maybe 1000?) to do it in any way that will actually work in practice.
> no house of cards

As I understand TFA, from a formalist’s perspective, this is not necessarily the case. People were building on swathes of mathematics that seem proven and make intuitive sense, but needed formal buttressing.

Seeing as the person you’re addressing was a mathematics graduate student, I’m sure they know this.
That wouldn't close the case for most people. Not that leaving it a mystery like they're doing right now is any better.
stainless sticks like crazy.

It's only carbon steel and cast iron that can be seasoned and then don't stick much. It's still not as magic as teflon but it's pretty good with a level of care/practice that isn't too high.

Stainless is totally different and is really only good for sauces not frying, because it sticks worse than anything else.

"sauces" does also sometimes mean frying and sticking, but only as a first step and then liquid is added which takes up and uses the stuck carmelized bits. And that ends up making the pan easier to clean later as the stuck bits are loosened and dissolved by the following sauce.

Those same sorts of things, especially anything tomato or lemon, would actually not be so great in cast iron because it eats away the seasoning. So different pans for different jobs.
Any strategy or tactic option works based on its fit with circumstances. Given that, it’s usually fine details of situation and execution that produce success or failure.

The issue this brings up always reminds of that scene in Westworld where the protagonist arrives there for the first time and meets a host.

Host: "You want to ask, so ask."

Protagonist: "Are you real?"

Host: "Well if you can't tell, does it matter?"

It always gives me chills because at least for me, the answer is like Schrödinger's cat. It really doesn't matter at all if you never know the truth and definitely seems to matter if you do find out.
One day years ago back when our desks still had phones on them someone called back and they had spoofed my desk number as their call back. Took a bit to get down to that because I had no idea if it was someone in the company or not trying to reach me. (We checked into to desks at the time I think so the number could have been forwarded or listed as mine for the day at the time I think)

Nice, I'm excited for more development and adoption in this area, as I enjoy gaming on VR!

I've recently got a Quest 3 (previously had a Valve Index) and I'm frankly blown away by the progress over the last 5 years, and also how well streaming games over wifi works - and generally, cable-less PCVR - I wasn't aware it's gotten so good by now!

Though I think there's still a long way to go, ergonomics-wise, until I'm happy to wear goggles all day long to work in them.
>How did you get to a tablespoon of butter?

Your last comment: >there's almost never a good reason to be so extremely strict about fat consumption that 5ml or 10ml or 15ml is a problem

Which one is it? Is butter/fat usage something you need to watch out for, or does it not matter so you don't have to watch it?

>If you're getting fat, that's not the fault of the butter per se, but of all the calories put together

That might be true, but it's still fair game to single out cooking oils for something that needs to be reduced. A can of coke (140 calories) is only 7% of your daily recommended intake, but it'd be absurd to recommend leaving it in someone's diet, or claim "it's almost never a good reason to be so extremely strict about your diet that 1 can of coke a day is a problem". If anything, you should be prioritizing the can of coke vs cooking oils. A can (or even half) provides a distinct experience in your diet, whereas adding butter only makes your eggs taste slightly more buttery.

> and plain chicken breasts are a better option.

so... boiled chicken breasts? I'll stick with my teflon pan, thanks.
They inferred it because those companies were left out of your category of the "last thing you'd want". Anything left out would be categorized as "not the last thing you'd want" when there are parallels in the omitted yet well known offerings.
Show HN: Cognitum Text Classifier for Social Science
I'm building an AI text classifier python library targeting social scientists and academics who are unaware of the classification capabilities of SOTA language models.

A few things included:

- Intended for classifying free-text poll responses using LLMs
- Support for both single and multi-label classification with confidence scores
- Built-in evaluation against ground truth data and random sampling capabilities
- Currently supports Llama and OpenAI models, with easy dataset handling
- Works on Apple Silicon, planning to add support for more systems and models soon
- Built on top of LMQL (https://lmql.ai/)

This is an early version with lots of rough edges. Hope this helps anyone working with survey analysis, and let me know if you have any feature requests or ideas for improvement.
It's so much better than staring down at a cell phone.

When the iPhone's App Store came out, there were a bunch of apps that were all about overlaying information on real-time real-world imaging. One of them was navigation where you'd hold your phone up (horizontally) and it would overlay the real world with lines and arrows. I wonder why that never really caught on.

There was another great one that was an SMS app that overlayed your conversations on the camera feed, so you could walk and text at the same time without falling into a mine shaft, or stepping in dog poo, or whatever. With today's technology, that could be just a toggle. Again, for some reason people didn't like it.
That's generally not true. US cable and satellite operators are only required to carry the "primary" video feed [1], which is usually the xx.1 channel. In most markets, home shopping channels typically air on subchannels (xx.2, etc.). The exception, of course, would be if the TV station designates the home shopping channel as their primary channel.

Home shopping is usually used to monetize excess bandwidth.

AIUI there are two other factors that are important with strength training and weight loss:

- Increased muscle mass raises your BMR, enabling the same weight loss rate at a higher caloric intake

- Strength training combats your body's tendency to burn muscle as well as fat when in a calorie deficit, focusing the weight loss on the body component you want to get rid of (the fat).
Np! And glad you managed to also solve the issue! Sadly with niche things (leptos still is IMHO) hiccups are expected:)

An example where auditors not having the threat model did not help the audit: https://defuse.ca/audits/gocryptfs.htm

> We believe the reason these vulnerabilities exist is because gocryptfs doesn’t have a clearly spelled-out threat model. Some of the attacks seem hard to avoid given gocryptfs’s performance goals and may have been introduced “by design” to meet these goals. We suggest writing down an explicit threat model and updating the website to better communicate the security guarantees that gocryptfs provides. This way, users are less likely to rely on it in ways which would make them vulnerable.

> I'm a professional videographer by trade. I filmed these things for 6 hours last week. High native ISO, tripod, 400mm lens, new camera model. No one here will believe me (especially those who have not witnessed this first hand) but they mimic planes when filmed. With my naked eye they are more abstract. Some where as close as 100ft to me. Then once they are within a certain range or a camera is pointed at them they mimic aircraft. So many people online are mocking those that say this, but I'll take the downvotes. I'm a professional in my field and know what I'm describing is accurate. You just need to see it to believe it. My footage would just be mocked as plane footage. I need to go back out there but with a flight tracker app in real time as hard proof.

I'm guessing the camera sensor is catching more light, detail, than what the guy is seeing with his own eyes, possibly because he hasn't waited long enough for to adjust to the darkness.

Fully agreed. This seems like the exact type of thing that Apple should be able to break out of, like they did with AirDrop (yeah, there was Bluetooth OBEX before, but it was too slow/clunky to be very useful on most phones) and AirPlay (same story vs. Miracast over WiFi Direct).

Yet the only recent movement in that area was them cutting down on AirPlay to unknown contacts, reportedly due to governmental pressure.

So unfortunately I believe that there is just no interest of Apple to make any move there, despite being in an excellent position: iMessage would solve most problems of spam, discoverability etc. (they could make it so that you can only message preexisting contacts when offline).
The original is, well, OG, but I prefer the Orbital version, esp. when listening on something that won't butcher the bass (ie
not a phone, laptop, or cheap headphones).

What false assumption did I make? I just pointed out a fact and asked a question. How many false assumptions could I have made with just one statement of fact and two questions? If you don’t have a valid answer to the question then don’t respond.

I’m a mathematician and not a computer scientist. The first order PA axioms are recursively enumerable. Hence it’s clearly something of interest to computer scientists. The second order PA axioms aren’t so…are they part of computer science? What do computer scientists think about proofs in second order PA? There are no computable models of ZFC so wouldn’t it be the case that while computer scientists deal with ZFC that ZFC isn’t part of computer science? what is your definition of computer science? Physicists deal with a vast amount of mathematics but math isn’t physics. In the same way mathematics isn’t computer science.

Overall I think most mathematicians would not consider mathematics as part of computer science.

To be pedantic, x86 does have opt-in weaker memory models. When you're setting up the TLB entries, you can configure how strong the cache behavior is for the memory... which means in practice, you can't really access these memory models unless you're doing firmware, or you're using nontemporal stores [1].

On a more practical level, however, it's actually disruptive to make the hardware have optional less-restrictive semantic operations, because the other instructions might need more fences to guarantee the necessary properties. For example, on x86, compilers drop all explicit store fences because they're "unnecessary" on the hardware, and adding in operations that would make them necessary, even for existing code that doesn't know about the instructions that don't exist yet.

[1] Incidentally, this means trying to read the manual to figure out what a nontemporal store actually does can feel like turning your brain to mush.
I know it won't hit the same if you change its name, but like the others here, I really would recommend that you come up with some new product name. Additionally, the glyph you're looking for is ™, not ®, if you're not registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

It seems like you're doing a great job, and these are some low hanging fruit you can address just to make sure you're not violating trademark law.
Trademark laws mandate that you need to enforce your trademark if you want to keep it. So, yes, they will sue.
To be honest...it doesn't matter for most use cases. If the card can be powered with a single 8-pin connector, and has plenty of cooling for the heat it generates...who cares? If you have 1000 of them in a building then that's a different situation entirely.

Really, for most users, all that matters is price, performance and functionality.

With a CPU it matters a little more since you need to get cooling yourself.

Please don't give judgements if you dont have an idea what are you talking about.

Just use the best programming language. Ups? For what application? Yes, everything depends on the application. Honestly, I doubt that many VPNs are better then Astrill if it comes to the GFC. I mentioned, it comes at a price. But if you are price sensitive, Mullvad is still nearly double the price of AirVPN....

"Mullvad has had multiple public audits and even contributed to other security-related open source projects."

Well, airvpn has also interesting roots.

"You don't have to create an account, and they even take cash by mail. It can't be more"

Well, I dont think any of my recommendations takes cash by mail, but that may take bitcoin. And for the applications you are hinting at, it is much more important that you connect via Tor to your VPN. One thing gives anonymity, the other privacy.

"Furthermore even in their FAQ they don't say that they wouldn't give the data to a court."

ROTFL. Every company will give data, or the data they have, to a court. At least in their own jurisdiction. Yet, there are (or were) VPNs that were cyberspace only. No corporation, just a website. A business that is not incorporated and only exits in cyberspace may indeed have a lot of leverage. At this point, you may ask yourself what you are doing. But if it is really so important, I would start setting up my own servers and selling my own VPNs. A tree you can hide best in a Forrest.

"I would never buy a VPN from a company like that."
If everything you have is a hammer, every problem becomes a nail. Everything depends on your application and what you want to achieve.

There is this myth that having a weaker memory model can lead to higher performance. It sounds plausible, and it was a good idea to explore at the end of the 80s, but in the end it turned out that it's simply not substantiated by facts. Note that Apple Silicon is TSO.
