Good luck with that considering:

To my knowledge, it doesn't.

On Emacs there's gptel which integrates quiet nicely different LLM inside Emacs, including a local Ollama.

Where else have you lived?

I live in nyc today and whenever I hear people say that , it turns out they mean “New York City is the greatest city in the world of New York City and Waterloo, Wisconsin.”

And even then , I’ve seen photos of Waterloo… looks like the air is nice and breathable there. And apparently you can afford to rent a place on a normal salary.

You don’t have to agree but at least try and get out of your bubble. You don’t even know enough different people in New York City itself to support that claim, apparently.
The entire premise of fact-check or community notes is infantilizing. If we cannot trust individuals to consume information on their own terms, why would we trust them to vote? Furthermore, if we cannot trust news outlets, why would we trust fact checkers?

Worse yet is the idea of consensus wisdom. It appeals to the lowest common denominator. Even if we assumed everyone in the collective was the pinnacle of human ability, voting on what we all subjectively perceive as an objective truth is no better than like/dislike.

I'm sure philosophers have made better commentary on these issues. I'm reminded of packaged foods. If you have to tell me that there is "real cheese flavor", I probably shouldn't be consuming it.
I know it's not entirely in keeping with the spirit of this site, but there's a part of me that really wants to snark,

"Oh no! We might no longer have meaningful competition for random-ass, dumbed-down, emotionally manipulative pictures to add to news articles! So next time you read an ad-bloated article about prices going up, they might not be able to afford to include a picture of an average Jane pushing a shopping cart! Truly, a loss to us all!"

Be careful about this. Others really are best at flagging and uncovering situation bias/blindness you didn't know you had. If you do get to a step three, (I can help with XYZ/I was like you and did XYZ.) don't ever dismiss it.
The reason they don't is because they've made their own version of the DMCA takedown system but my understanding is that that system/law gives the strongest liability safe harbor if the platform just takes things down in response to takedown requests without taking any steps to validate them. The weaselly lawyer approved version is to just let the claimant and the poster duke it out with counter responses etc and just be passive.
Because a settlement is a lot closer to indicating causation than correlation is.

I don't know of a more general movement, but Go developers seem very eager/proud about the single-binary thing. It can make deployments, particularly updates, much less issue prone.
Self flagelation because we can't imagine any other future. "The way things are is the only way things could have ever been" - you, implicitly.

So tired of folks who uncritically think "this is the best way that things could have been". Voltaire literally wrote a whole book called "Candide" which tries to call out this exact thought-cliche.

The drivers are paying for something they use: less-congested roads. In theory, if this is priced correctly, everyone is getting what they want: the drivers pay to not have to sit in traffic, everyone else benefits from that revenue to have better mass transit.
The memory bandwidth has not been announced for this device. It's probably going to be more appropriate to compare vs a 128GB M4 Max (410-546GB/s MBW) or an AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 (yes, that's its real name) at 256GB/s of MBW.

The 5090 has 1.8TB/s of MBW and is in a whole different class performance-wise.

The real question is how big of a model will you actually want to run based on how slowly tokens generate.
> Do you believe that the United States is in decline today?

> Now imagine you asked an American this question 30 years ago. How would they have responded? No one would have even talked about it with you. Every American citizen was, first and foremost, a patriot of their country and firmly believed that Americans are the greatest nation at the peak of its powers with a great future ahead.

1995 was smack in the middle of the rise of gangs and deterioration in many inner city environments. If people would not have talked about it with you, it's because they were preoccupied with other things.

> Patriotism is falling, public attitudes are deteriorating, and confidence in the future is waning. Yet, despite these gloomy sentiments, according to major economic indicators, America continues to prosper. It’s a paradox

It's not a paradox. Non-rich people do not really care about major economic indicators, they care about the specific particular economic indicator of their paycheck and what their paycheck can buy. That's taken a serious hit in the last 10 years and a giant hit in the last 4. Show me all the bar charts you want, they don't matter if half my check goes to food, if I can't afford a house and won't realistically be able to afford one in 10 years.

This article is like a clueless company that is making profit at the moment that will buy employees pizza but refuse to understand that low paychecks are the reason they can't get people to stay. Seriously the article explores almost every possible avenue of dissatisfaction but that, it's almost comical.

I think "both sides" right now are a bit wrong about the other. Content Negotiation is also an ancient part of REST. User Agent A prefers HTML and User Agent B prefers XML and User Agent C prefers JSON and all of those are still valid representations of a resource, and a good REST API can deliver some or all three as it has capability to do so. It's very much in the spirit of REST to provide HTML for your Browsers and JSON for your CLI apps and machine-to-machine calls.

This shouldn't be a "war" between "HTML is the original REST" and "JSON is what everyone means today by REST", this should be a celebration together that if these proposals pass we can do both better together. Let User Agents negotiate their content better again. It's good for JSON APIs if the Browser User Agents "catch up" to more features of REST. The JSON APIs can sometimes better specialize in the things their User Agents need/prefer if they aren't also doing all the heavy lifting for Browsers, too. It's good for the HTML APIs if they can do more of what they were originally intended to do and rely on JS less. Servers get a little more complicated again, if they are doing more Content Negotiation, but they were always that complicated before, too.

REST says "resources" it doesn't say what language those resources are described in and never has. REST means both HTML APIs and JSON APIs. (Also, XML APIs and ASN.1 APIs and Protobuf APIs and… There is no "one true" REST.)
Okay then there are better ways to phrase that distinction, because what you've described is still "licensing stock photography". The editorial arm is just a means by which they license.
I think they're potentially good, but are used nowhere near enough. So many posts on X simply do not have community notes attached, even though they contain misinformation and lies.
For current measurement, I'd rather use a Hall sensor. But to measure the signal from that sensor a sensitive opamp is needed, and your comment applies :)
No, concurrent writes are the problem. That's why it spreads writability into buckets, so that they are mostly independent.
A bunch of new games are RT-only. Nvidia has aggressively marketed on the idea that RT, FG, and DLSS are "must haves" in game engines and that 'raster is the past'. Resolution is also a big jump. 4K 120Hz in HDR is rapidly becoming common and the displays are almost affordable (esp. so for TV-based gaming).
In fact, as of today, Even the very fastest RTX 4090 cannot run CP2077 at max non-RT settings and 4K at 120fps.

Now, I do agree that $1000 is plenty for 95% of gamers, but for those who want the best, Nvidia is pretty clearly holding out intentionally. The gap between a 4080TI and a 4090 is GIANT. Check this great comparison from Tom's Hardware: https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/BAGV2GBMHHE4gkb7ZzTxwK-120...

The biggest next-up offering leap on the chart is 4090.
Direct quote from the source you linked:

>>It is unlikely that there has been a significant increase in electoral malpractice since the introduction of postal voting on demand in 2000; available figures suggest that 32 convictions were made from 1994–99. In both periods, the offences arose almost exclusively from local elections, and related to a tiny proportion of all elections contested.

Again, the facts are clear, but that doesn't stop the baseless fearmongering. A direct quote from your source:

>>There is no evidence to date suggesting that electoral malpractice has occurred as a result of pilots of various forms of electronic voting. However, serious questions about the security of electronic voting from organised fraud remain unanswered.

It flatly concedes that no evidence of voter fraud from electronic voting exists, but then somehow concludes that serious questions remain unanswered. Simply absurd.
Sending munitions/equipment to one side means that you support that side ;)

I do not know what kind of mental gymnastics you make when you say NATO doesn't support the war in Ukraine, but it actually does - with the NATO SG going to Ukraine in a show of support.

AFAIK, there is no precedent to what will happen if a NATO country attacks another NATO country - we came close to that when the Turks and the Greeks almost started fighting a few years back.
That is the goal of course. The open question (though we will know in a year) is will they. Or will they just reduce something else from their budget to pay these tolls? If only a handful of people change their behavior this failed (though the extra money to transit may result in useful service expansions for someone else who isn't driving now). If thousands change their behavior it was a success.
I think the GP's point is that the code that interprets simple note on/off messages is unlikely to be vulnerable to any kind of RCE.

Public Domain File Uploads for Humans and Agents
Yes, but.

Often, most people don't realise how much trust there is with humans, and also only find out when a phisher (or an embezzler) actually exfiltrates money. Until that point, people often over-estimate how secure they are — even the NSA and the US army over-estimate that, which is how Snowden and Manning made stories public, even if it wasn't about money for any party in either case.

Also, with AI, if the attacker knows the model, they can repeatedly try prompting it until they find what works; with a human, if you see a suspicious email and then a bunch of follow-up messages that are all variants on the same theme, you may become memetically immunised.
It is a catchy phrase for saying that lies are spread by the goverment and the public is willing to pass them as facts.

Truth or fact is one and only, perspectives are many, opinions are personal. Lies are infinite.

Even outside of gaming, people's needs are going to vary a great deal. Some people are sensitive to refresh rates, some people really need great color reproduction, etc.

But since you asked what I optimize for... I'm cheap, and tend to opt for inexpensive, no-frills, but reliable 4K monitors. I have several Philips 278E 27-inch 4K monitors. I don't see these on Amazon any more, so maybe this model has been discontinued, but they ran about $250 USD or so. I use a couple on my main workstation for coding, my wife has a couple (that are secondary to an Apple Studio Display), and I have a floating one for the workbench. I find this model to be a sweet spot for my needs. They aren't as beautiful as an Apple display, but they're sufficient.

Potential cons include no camera (I have a separate camera on top, although it sometimes obscures some of the display due to narrow bezels), lousy speakers (I use headsets), and they seem oddly sensitive to electrical fields in the environment (for example, they'll turn off momentarily if I static shock myself on something nearby).
The VC-funded startup model is predicated on becoming a large business, not staying a small one.
Well presumably there's some different configurations supported, otherwise they would say $2,999 instead of starting at $2,999.

Came here to say the same thing. It’s a chilling font choice for a document like this.
1. The data is obviously flawed, but if there's anything to speculate from it, it's that the actual congestion in lower Manhattan isn't affected that much.

2. So the success of this policy really depends on how much additional revenue it's bringing in for the city and the MTA. The $9 increase needs to significantly offset the loss in toll revenue from the decrease in drivers.

3. There are so many other simple policies that would benefit quality of life in NYC:

- Daylighting — Don't allow cars and trucks to park at the corners of intersections. Huge safety benefits.

- Metered parking everywhere. Why is NYC giving away the most valuable real estate in the world for free? Would be a huge revenue stream while discouraging car ownership in Manhattan.

- Close more streets to car traffic. This is already true on 14th street and it's fantastic. Close Houston, 34th, 42nd, 59th, 125th. This would make buses much more efficient and further discourage passenger car usage
Back at the beginning of the 20th century, you had to learn both Latin and Greek to qualify for Harvard or Yale. Because they were foundational. How could you learn the classics without being able to read them? If all you ever read were translations of them, you miss out on so much...
They’re pretty great for printf debugging. Yesterday I was confounded by a bug so I rapidly added a ton of logging that the LLM wrote instantly, then I had the LLM analyze the state difference between the repro and non repro logs. It found something instantly that it would have taken me a few hours to find, which led me to a fix.
I might be missing something - are you saying the only choices of economic systems is communism or American style capitalism?
Yeah I should have said design, embarrassingly I used to work in a (fabless) semiconductor company.

Totally agree with the software part. AMD usually designs something in the same ball park as Nvidia, and usually has a better price:performance ratio at many price points. But the software is just too far behind.
A useful analogy is the Coca plant. Chewing its leaves will give a mild stimulant and is relatively benign. But if you extract and concentrate the active ingratiate it becomes highly addictive. This is pretty much what we have done with our food.

Based on my experience with vintage music electronics, it wouldn’t be good enough to use a component that just sounds bad like a TL071; it needs to be a TL071 so that the marketing copy can claim “vintage-correct parts.”

At that point you are engineering with a completely different set of tradeoffs than would be expected for a modern ground-up design effort.

> So the success of this policy really depends on how much additional revenue it's bringing in for the city and the MTA.

I thought the point of the policy is to get people to use the train instead of cars, freeing up the roads for people that actually need it?

I've bought multiple founders editions cards from the nvidia store directly. Did they stop doing that recently?
Maybe, but if they strapped these with 64gb+ wouldn’t that be wasted on folks buying it for its intended purpose? Gaming. Though the “intended use” is changing and has been for a bit now.
Fair point about parametricity. A language could in the macro expansion do the equivalent of a scala implicit lookup for a sorting function for the type and return an error at macro expansion time if it can't find one. That avoids the doing the right thing requires discipline problem but I agree it is still less clear from the type signature alone what the type requirements are.
My wild guess would be that, yes, that cable is just a naive splitter. The only real use case I could think of that would work would be taking a USB-C port and making it accept either USB-C or USB-A devices without having to dig around/swap adapters/etc. I say that because as far as I'm aware (though I'm having trouble digging up an authoritative source right now), there's no way for USB devices to share data lines. Even cheap "passive" hubs and things all have ICs to present themselves as a USB device and sit between the host and the downstream devices. With the older USB specs you could still get some power even without the data lines, but with USB-C you need the data lines to negotiate power delivery. I don't think there are any software-level changes would make that setup work.

If you are looking for a solution though (albiet a bit bit bulkier one) it's likely any of a number of "USB C hub" or "USB C dock" products would work there. Most have a USB-C port marked "PD-IN". Plug the hub into your phone, plug your power into the PD-IN, and use the USB-A/other ports to connect your other devices. Run you like $20 from the usual suspects.

There have always been some dissenters, a small band of conspiracy theorists that would doubt even something as fundamentally true as a non-flat Earth. But now the group is much more sizable.

> Why Is the American Diet So Deadly?

Too much sugar. Too carb heavy.

Edit: car-focused culture and zoning laws/planning that result in more sedentary day-to-day lifestyle that magnifies the effect of the poor diet.
Going by the specs, this pretty much blows Tinybox out of the water.

For $40,000, a Tinybox pro is advertised as offering 1.36 petaflops processing and 192 GB VRAM.

For about $6,000 a pair of Nvidia Project Digits offer about a combined 2 petaflops processing and 256 GB VRAM.

The market segment for Tinybox always seemed to be people that were somewhat price-insensitive, but unless Nvidia completely fumbles on execution, I struggle to think of any benefits of a Tinygrad Tinybox over an Nvidia Digits. Maybe if you absolutely, positively, need to run your OS on x86.

I'd love to see if AMD or Intel has a response to these. I'm not holding my breath.
