I don't think you have much standing to complain about negative posts.

I'm also not defending it, although I might be willing to try if you asked nicely. My point is that that your complaint is pretty hollow. "Oh no, somebody posting for free on the internet didn't do the work I wanted! They must be bad!" I guess you get your kicks, but I think it's a pretty low value contribution, in that it is shot through with unearned contempt.

> except for any binaries or CUDA related things from conda

doing the default thing with cuda related python packages used to often result in "fuck it, reinstall linux". admittedly, i dont know how it is now. i have one machine that runs python with a gpu and it runs only one python program.
I'll explain why I want this.

I don't use the Apple ecosystem as my primary, but I do have a bunch of tags I use in different cases for different items. Some of my items are things like motorsports vehicles or trailers and other things that are around but often out of sight.

If something were to go missing I may not notice immediately. It also seems the batteries in AirTags die faster in areas where climate control isn't the norm. Changing these out every year is a pain because some are hidden in areas that aren't easy to get to.

I hope these work well. And I was pleasantly surprised by the price point. Already ordered!

Also... I already own ElevationLabs Surface Mounts that I use and they are well made products. I love finding brands like this because it's not the norm on outlets like Amazon anymore. So when I find a good product I'm more than happy to keep buying their products, the premium is worth it.
You aren't dumb. You just don't have enough exposure to the prerequisites.
My experience with conda is that its fine if you're the original author of whatever you're using it for and never share it with anyone else. But as a professional I usually have to pull in someone else's work and make it function on a completely different machine/environment. I've only had negative experiences with conda for that reason. IME the hard job of package management is not getting software to work in one location, but allowing that software to be moved somewhere else and used in the same way. Poetry solves that problem, conda doesn't.

Poetry isn't perfect, but it's working in an imperfect universe and at least gets the basics (lockfiles) correct to where packages can be semi-reproducible.

There's another rant to be had at the very existence of venvs as part of the solution, but that's neither poetry or anaconda's fault.
>The question of where the new product goes has nothing to do with the question of worker productivity unless the workers have the funds to purchase those products. The product goes where the purchasing power is.

That is my exact question, who is purchasing the goods? we have high employment and have supposedly high productivity. We dont have massive national export surplus. You say capital isn't purchasing the goods, so what gives?

Where is the black hole that is consuming all of the goods, if the workers dont get them, the rich dont get them, and they aren't exported.

I have a feeling it’s the highest EV. I tried a strategy of flipping all the cards until there’s only one color left and then betting it all every time. Ran a million trials and got 9.08.

I was thinking these are very different strategies, but they’re not exactly. The Kelly strategy does the same thing when there’s only one color left. The difference is this strategy does nothing before that point.

Still, they feel like limit cases. Betting it all with only one color left is the only right move, so it’s what you do before that. Nothing and Kelly seem like the only good strategies.

Home Assistant is such a fantastic project. I've been waiting for something like this for a long time; I just pre-ordered three.

My only remaining wish is that I can replace Siri with this (without needing some workaround)
I can't speak to home assistant specifically, but the last time I looked at voice models, supporting multiple languages and doing it Really Well just happens to require a model with a massive amount of RAM, especially to run at anything resembling real-time.

It's be awesome if they open sourced that model though, or published what models they're using. But I think it unlikely to happen because home assistant is a sorta funnel to nabu casa

That said, from what I can find, it sounds like Assist can be run without the hardware, either with or without the cloud upgrade. So you could definitely use your own hardware, headset, speakers, etc. to play with Assist
No offence, yours is an effective altruist take on any problem: <If there is no final solution that can be achieved fast and with minimal effort, it is not worth doing anything.>

There is NO FINAL SOLUTION to any human problem: not hunger, not disease, not poverty, not racism. All effort counts and smart effort contributes more, but it is not a once and done deal. We must eat everyday, we must not shit plastic in our air, all children must get polio vaccine, and taxes have to be paid one way or the other.

It's ugly, it's hard, it's long, it's life!

If you could disable the public key rotation on the AirTag, presumably you could greatly extend its battery life at the cost of your own privacy. When your battery gets low, Apple warns that "privacy protection is temporarily adjusted, AirTag may be traceable over Bluetooth". Wish I could enable this behavior in certain situations to extend the life.

(Or hook up an oversized external battery like this one, but tune the voltage to ~2V so it always looks like a nearly depleted CR2032 battery!)

I joined the software industry at a small consultancy that needed me to do a lot of different things, including both programming and design. So I got experience doing both of those. When I left the consultancy world in 2016, I had to decide whether to sell myself to employers as either a programmer or a designer—normal companies want you to pick a single lane—so I just focused on my design experience, and started doing that as a day job. I went from a fancy title to a much less fancy title for my first job as a designer, but more or less worked back up from there. I think for most programmers, their fork in the road would be to stay as an individual contributor or become a manager, but I don't want to be a manager, and was lucky to have a different path to fall back on.

I never said it shouldn't be improved, in fact I didn't have any problems with it to begin with. That was the commenter above me.
You really seem to be having a hard time grasping what I'm saying. I guess I'll take one more swing at it just in case. Energy was not a commodity until the industrial revolution. If you want to say that you have your own personal conception of currency and a physics-ish notion of energy enters into that, go nuts. But as far as the actual history or common theoretical notions of money goes, it doesn't make much sense, because the concept of energy didn't exist and wasn't material to the creation of money.
I mean it isn't though: it's defense in depth - policy is you must disconnect. Line workers will drive a ground stake in on both sides anyway, but if you don't disconnect then they'll just short your inverter to ground.

It's the truth. The US is near the all-time high record high number of housing units per capita. We'll likely exceed it some time within the next 2 years.

There is absolutely no housing crisis of any kind. There is a _density_ crisis, that is forcing people into unaffordable locations.

>Lightweight Java has always been a thing for those who appreciate Java-the-language but despise Java-the-ecosystem.

I always disliked Java until I was converted by some developers of that group in a past job. I suppose it is fair to judge a language by the overall flavour of its ecosystem, but it is a bit disappointing. I wish more people could see how simple and _good_ it can be when you use the JDK itself, and not go through other overcomplicated systems to use it. For example, Spring Boot is basically a massive pile of hacks (regardless of whether you consider it good or bad), and Java only really serves as an underlying support technology for it.

Microsoft won't let customers (targets) opt out of anything. Every few days it prompts me to associate a Microsoft account, every other time it's to try Office 365.

Only quibble i have is that black should be +$1 and red -$1 to follow standard finance conventions, i.e. be in the "black" or "red".
> I think it’s a bet on the future. Even though Apple aren’t high volume, they’ve dramatically shifted the professional stereo video landscape more than anything else in the last decade.

> This is everything from bringing full resolution stereo videos for home viewing , to making a seemingly standardized format for 180 videos. Even if the latter is just restricted to their platform.

I'd assume Porn already achieved all of the above. The format seem to have mostly settled, and the volume produced are relevant.

Apple might succeed in the "not first but best" approach, but do they have that much of an impact on the landscape right now ? In particular while this camera is marketed toward AVP movies, Apple being an early partner and probably footing the bill for most of it, is a weaker signal than BlackMagic doing it on its own as a forward investment.
Nawww I’d say something like python or php is “scratching the surface”. Typescript’s type system is phenomenal and pretty deep.

Honestly I think it’s the most interesting one to work with, too. Which is not always a good thing, but it is fun.

The only type systems I’ve seen that are similarly expressive are rust and Haskell. Even go doesn’t come anywhere close.
Even if you don't know the number of iterations it can be helpful to "partially unroll" the loop, for example going by 8 or 16 elements at a time and doing a single check for all elements to make sure you're not doing more work than you were asked to do. Not only does this amortize checks for the loop body it can also enable optimizations like automatic vectorization.
This is part of why I basically gave up on this and just went with SiriusXM - I like linear programming - less effort for me to engage with.

The Kelly criterion is the strategy with better return due to the uniquely problem structure.
Hah, yes my childhood experience with these was similar. There was your typical 8 bitter 5.25" floppy with its floppiness and rattly drives and make-it-double-sided-with-a-hole-punch diy-ness. And then there was the 3.5" hard plastic square, straight out of Star Wars. A robot would eat it and regurgitate it for you on command.

With existing phones and laptops, there’s either activation friction (pressing the “listen to me” button) or the device has to be always listening, which requires a lot of trust in your hardware vendors.

With an open source and potentially local-only device, you can have your voice assistant and keep your privacy.
I think there’s a difference between ideal library code and ideal business logic code.

The more you lean into crazy ass generics in your library, the simpler and more error-free the user can make their biz logic code. Really nicely typed libraries almost give you zero chances to fuck things up, it’s amazing.

But then again most of your devs wont be able to understand all those generics, so you need to keep your biz logic types relatively simple.

I think some people may have a misunderstanding about what jazz is. I know one friend of mine did. Some jazz may be easy listening, but it's not made for easy listening, it's made to bend the boundaries of music theory. And also a lot of "easy listening" that sounds like jazz isn't really jazz.
All jazz artists started as insignificant band members before they found their voice.
Soviet air force personnel had it better. The Tupolev Tu-22 bomber used a cooling system that contained 40% pure alcohol so of course that was constantly siphoned off.

I encountered this last Christmas: My parents were running a Christmas music playlist. All the bangers, the Mariah Carey’s and Mannheim Steamrollers, and maybe 1/10 songs were this really soft yet bad piano playing.

There is a difference between observing productivity and measuring it. If you measure it must be quantized into units which is hard, but you can observe it as is and come to a good conclusion too, without measurement.

Thank you so much. This is so awesome to know and learn.

I'm just curious, what are the instructions that replace the lwarx/stwcx "atomic" pair? From my understanding, basic you need to generate a pair of load reserved/save instructions, and you have to replace the pair with a series of instructions. But I don't understand why do you have to disable interrupts -- is it because actually multiple instructions were used to facilitate the load, and an interrupt may disturb a value stored in a register?

Sorry I know little about assembly and arch.

Perceive at least disambiguates itself from the senses that aren't related to thought!
Stupid question, is the reason that people cannot simply dump the ROM as they do with say routers is that the rom is encrypted? But if they have the SDK they can decrypt it?
Am I the only one that gets annoyed by that "enhanced representation"? All I want to see in my editor window is the code itself.

(1) The small API surface does not mean small complexity. A high-level package like "curl" or some SSL library might have a very small API hiding lots of complexity

(2) How come "simply check the specs for inputs and outputs to remain unchanged" helps with trustworthiness or gives _any_ assurance of the incorrect implementations? (unless it's agda/coq, but we are not talking about them). The specs can say whatever, and yet the program might full of bugs.

(3) How do you select a library in an area you are not familiar with? It seems you know cryptography well, so let's choose a different topic - what would you examine to find, say, good audio capture library, or a good OpenGL wrapper? For me, I'd look at popularity (by number of reverse dependencies in my repo, mentions on the web, or github stats); liveness (activity in repo and mailing list, open/closed bugs); general quality (commit history, CI logs if they are public, etc..). All of those would be _vastly_ easier with a single large repo vs tons of smaller one.

(4) Think of few supply chain compromises that come to your mind. How many of those would be prevented by "distributed replication or transparency logs"? I've thought of xz compromise, left-pad pull and Marak's colors.js. _None_ of them would be fixed by "consensus on dependency versions and their hashes". All of them would be fixed if people just kept packages bigger, so that every one has actual CI, release team, and so on.
its not bait. for my demographics the number 1 way I die by stranger is cops. not random gangbanger, not bar fight, not mistaken identity.

You can do exactly that - set up an Assist pipeline that glues together services running wherever you want, including a GPU node for faster-whisper. The HA interface even has a screen where you can test your pipeline with your computer’s microphone.

It’s not exactly batteries-included, and doesn’t exercise the on-device wake word detection that satellite hardware would provide, but it’s doable.

But I don’t know that the unit will be an “upgrade” over most headsets. These devices are designed to be cheap, low-power, and have to function in tougher scenarios than speaking directly into a boom mic.
