This. Mainstream food in the US is unbearably sweet and sugary if you come from anywhere else in the world. Drinks are sweet. Chips are sweet. The deep fried onions at Olive Garden are sweet. The gravy for the prime rib is sweet. The goddamn bagels are sweet. They put marshmallows on top of baked sweet potatoes for thanksgiving.
Still a nicer problem to have than developing “non crappy” APIs that nobody uses or cares about.

What's the point of having a mirror? It'll only lead to conflicts that'll be difficult to resolve once the main service you use is back up again.

Can you recommend any resources/tutorials about fine-tuning embedding models? Which base model did you fine-tune?
The list seems deliberately focussed on learning practical topics and not the foundations. I think that's what makes it interesting - there are any number of places recommending you start by learning linear algebra, stats, probability...

Personally I like to learn the foundations but there's genuinely room for useful knowledge of SOTA techniques even without the foundations. To be honest I feel that any amount of learning about computer architecture and vector fields is unhelpful if you are trying to understand good eval benchmarks or prompt engineering techniques.
That's the whole reason companies like Gravy exist—they call it 'location intelligence', they make inferences about location based on various things they do have access to, rather than necessarily directly collecting it from the user using GPS location tracking.
It is at the top of the cited article:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%B6hm_scandal

"Beginning in April 1931, the SPD newspaper Münchener Post published a series of front-page stories about alleged homosexuality in the SA, which turned out to be based on forgeries. SPD leaders set out to obtain authentic evidence of Röhm's sexuality and, if possible, convict him under Paragraph 175. Röhm was tried five times, but never convicted. During the German presidential election in March 1932, the SPD released a pamphlet edited by ex-Nazi Helmuth Klotz [de] with Röhm's letters to Heimsoth. This second round of disclosures sparked a plot by some Nazis to murder Röhm, which fell through and resulted in additional negative press for the party."

It cannot be more public than that. The Social Democrats used the anti-gay paragraph.

Another known gay Nazi was Rudolf Hess:

https://www.nytimes.com/1991/07/10/opinion/l-hess-homosexual...

And Klaus Mann wrote a novel about German actor and director Gustaf Gründgens, famous for his Mephisto role in Goethe's Faust:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mephisto_(novel)

"The author Hermann Kesten suggested that he write a novel of a homosexual careerist in the Third Reich, with the director of the state theatre Gustaf Gründgens as a subject matter. Gründgens's homosexuality was widely known."

The whole selective persecution of gays began after Röhm's paramilitary SA surged to 4,000,000 members in 1934, and a couple of people including Himmler intrigued against him.

People like Hess and Gründgens were never touched or exposed even though most people knew.
Agree with the second part. Github actually has merge queues, but only for the enterprise tier…
That is not in the OS. I also sort of suspect they're being hired as a prank because there is basically no power structure for them to have control over anything. Execs and designers have all the power.

> How is it different from the corporation's employees paying income tax on money received from the corporation

The money paid to employees is only taxed once.

We (pretty much everywhere) tax companies on their profits, but individuals on their income. It seems unfair, it leads to some weird but accepted inequalities (like the cost of renting a house vs buying), but no alternative seems to work.
Definitely. Even if no one reads my blog, the act of articulating ideas in a format that others can understand helps me better understand those ideas and concepts myself.

Vouchers don't work since the ISPs will just raise the price to take into account the increased purchasing power.

Just adding the burden to the ISPs of offering service at a fixed price will let ISPs compete for who can do it the most efficiently and raise the prices for other customers the least.

But in general I agree with the concept of "just give people enough money so they can afford a base standard cost of living", but in the US specifically that seems very anathema to the culture, they're always trying to control how poor people spend their money (see "food stamps" something I've never seen anywhere else) so unless you do the same thing across the board, just giving one single targeted handout will not have the desired effect.

This is another observation that doesn't match with my lived reality. The vegans I got to know as such¹ mostly had one moment where they mentioned it: when someone offered them something non-vegan.

Some of them did even mention it only after a meat eater asked them why they are not eating $X.

As mentioned in my live I met only one vegan that smugly and unprompted talked about veganism. And they were the type who would talk that way about literally every topic.

I am generally careful with stories like that. "Trans bathrooms" is another one of those. My institute has non-gendered bathrooms for the past century, mainly for space reasons. And that never was a problem.

If you love meat, but understand the ethical argument behind not eating it, wouldn't it be practical if vegans were smug assholes that you don't have to listen to? That is why some people want them to fulfill that cliché — I am more interested in the truth, especially the truth that has an impact on my direct life.

¹: There ought to be a number of people everybody met, who are vegans, but you don't know they are, because they did not mention it. E.g. my bands drummer (a old punk) is vegan and it took me two years to figure that one out.
Nobody alleged a conspiracy.

The claim is simple: using words to mock a group, hurts that group.

This is still true when the group is one that you consider to "hold almost all the power".

Holding power is irrelevant to the harm caused by actions like insulting people or discriminating against them.

Perhaps not better at hosting Github, but some sort of code repository. We've been running on-prem Bitbucket for years and our uptime is easily better than Githubs. The feature set is small, and the CI/CD pipelines are a separate issue, but I still think we come out on top.

Depending on your size your requirements may be much lower and easier to manage. Github has to be all things to all people and that comes with complexity and that can make things more fragile.
I toyed around with this a bit, and it feels like it has significant merit. User separation is about the only security boundary built into Linux from the beginning. I was not totally happy with the workflow I adopted, but it is probably going to be less burdensome than the VM approach.
Which is exactly why one of the perks of working in modestly-scaled corporate IT is getting to destroy the storage devices before they get taken for recycling. Wiping keys is quick and effective, but can't match a sledge hammer for unadulterated joy.
Afaik WiiM ultra doesnt have Airplay yet as is new it needs certification. I believe this was the case with other their devices.

People who pay for WiiM ultra most likely dont care about Airplay anyway because Airplay 2 devices send lossy AAC 256kbps audio. You dont get streamer for 329usd to send reencoded music there. You get it so it streams from the original sources directly.
Yes but that's irrelevant to my point. If it were universally offensive it'd be just banned entirely, but in fact it's allowed to be plastered everywhere as long as you're using it in ways those in power approve of (to criticise their political opposition).

The symbol itself, therefore, isn't offensive. Otherwise Germans would be up in arms at their government for allowing it.

In the Java world, you need to prove ownership of a given namespace (group id), e.g. via a TXT record for that domain. Isn't there a similar concept for NPM? The package is named sn4k-s3c/call-home, how will a victim be tricked into referencing that namespace sn4k-s3c (which I suppose is owned by the attacker, not Cursor)? I feel like I'm missing part of the picture here.

Are you aware that the main issue here is not with string literals, but with glob expansions? Literals are quite easy to check statically as mistakes usually cause havoc with surrounding code syntax. Even so, I avoid nontrivial use of them.

But expansions and substitutions with escaping are the can of worms.
At that point it's really a fundamental problem with our society that allows and even incentivizes the growth of such companies.
I tried a few times as some BIOS have a hidden or disabled setting but I never got past a plain crash. Device and CPU vendor support for classic S3 is shrinking. E.g. on framework laptops the Intel CPU(!) does not officially support S3 sleep.

So I can understand that there is no option for it if all you can get is out of spec behavior and crashes.

Also note that it is incompatible with some secure boot and system integrity settings.
Life in Soviet states was totally different before vs after Stalin's death. Neither were great, but my impression is that the grim incidents of the 1930s and 40s were something that the Soviets were desperate to avoid repeating.

As a non-american, reading the definition of woke I dont know what to think

If woke means progressive and politically conscious then the opposite is what, uninformed,thoughtless.

So people say they rather be ignorant than conscious?

Sometimes I think people are not actually fully conscious and tend to behave like primitive animals and they are hating everything because reverting to hate is a primitive animalistic trait that requires little thinking or consciousness.

Or its a racist thing because woke has roots in black culture?
WP Engine could do that, and I'd happily throw my support behind it just to spite Mullenweg. They have the funds, the motive and could leverage the existing community, including picking it's leaders and contributors. I wouldn't be surprised that's what happens once the lawsuit is over.
git was never really decentralized though. The whole system is aggressively a funnel towards central repositories, it's just that because it deals in whole repos, every git repo has the potential to be promoted to that role.

Nothing is built into git to let it actually run decentralized: there's no server or protocol where someone can register say, an identifying public key and then just have a network of peers all communicate updates to each other. It's even pretty damn unsafe to just run a repo through basic file-sync (I do this for myself with syncthing with bare repos in a special folder, which seems to work fine but I'm hardly loading it up to chase down why it doesn't).

Corn syrup is not HFCS. HFCS is just glucose and fructose. Corn syrup has a bunch of corn starches and various other sugars, so that makes sense.
I've done that in the past, even for securing the admin pages of some software (there was once an issue where the admin page auth could be bypassed, this essentially adds another layer). With TLS it's okay for getting something up and running quickly.

Of course, for the things that matter a bit more, you can also run your own CA and do mTLS, even without any of the other fancy cloud services.

I've heard people claim it was mostly so managed Windows laptops could force updates with the lid shut and the laptop suspended.

That, but probably also to compete with Mac's Power Nap feature (2012) that updates Mail, Messages, and other applications during sleep (so that when you open up the laptop messaging apps are immediately up to date):

I'd like a capability that I can run any application in a tight container that absolutely sees nothing what's on my phone. I can give it a real or fake or filtered network if needed, and anything else the app sees like contacts or files would look like a real phone but just originate from a fake null source. There's a mutual distrust with users and manufacturers and application vendors and technology can solve that.

Namely, that's what I do with proprietary software on my desktop. Nothing that's closed runs with access to my files. Further, a banking app shouldn't need to know I'm running a rooted device. For some reason, I can do banking with an open source browser on a rooted phone just fine. It's just the proprietary blob that comes with TPM shackles, and I think I should be the owner of those shackles because I own my phone.
Curious if this overlaps at all with the use cases of the spritely project [1]. Another question is whether esoteric languages are strictly needed for these architectures or simply more convenient.

Your interpretation is the exact problem. How many times do people need to say it? Racism is bad, what else there to say? Because he did not say it multiple times throughout the essay we are going to label him though and suggest and at the same time conclude that the thinks wokism is worse than racism. Sheesh that’s a great imagination.
It's not a smoking gun. It is just one of a number of signals you look for when identifying potentially malicious packages. Other things you look for are number of collaborators, how long it existed, domains it talks to, and artifacts it pulls in.
I’m saying that he shouldn’t have presented use of “Latinx” as an unalloyed good, and uncritically “inclusive” (a massive assumption which is highly debatable, particularly amongst Latinos), and that his survey questions are very weak at controlling for the explanations that Latinos generally give for disliking the term (pronunciation, erasure of diversity, trendiness, imperial/colonial attitude to language, elitism…).

Concluding that there is no problem with the term and the real problem is “queerphobia” is textbook academic myopia.

> There's many dumb reasons people bought and held.

True, but you can readily point to the things they were actually dumb about. Most people, I'd argue, had the simpler reason of "I'm willing to bet this will grow in value over the long term, given that it's finite and it has some advantages over normal money" - and those people ended up being very, very right.

Likewise, even in those "absurd" examples you bring up, there would have been entirely rational reasons to believe them, like

- "Fossil fuels are unsustainable so the automotive market will start to shift toward electric cars; I should invest in electric car companies, even early-stage ones", or

- "I think Unix is the operating system of the future, and Apple taking Unix mainstream by rebranding NeXT will give Microsoft a run for their money", or

- "These CRTs are obsolete, but so are vinyl records and some crazy audiophiles still pay big bucks for those decades later, so maybe I shouldn't be so quick to toss these out"

Even without the benefit of hindsight, those seemingly-crazy bets could have been - and probably were - predicted via entirely rational and intelligent thought processes. Those rational people likely didn't put all their eggs in any one of those baskets, but they didn't do so for Bitcoin, either, and still ended up rich.
Seconding vagrant - especially because it's the only reasonable way I found so far to test linux release on my windows rig (would prefer to dev on linux, but windows-only company is windows-only company).

Basically I put a Vagrantfile in src folder, then run docker compose with db, caddy, app server and other services inside it - then I forward ports 80 and 443 from vm and use localhost.whateverdomain.igot with self-signed cert on caddy (since https is just enough different than http that I otherwise get bitten by bugs every so often).

When I start a new project I can usually just copy the Vagrantfile with minimal changes.
This is very simplistic way of interpreting what Trump said. I would advice to read a bit about the significance of the GIUK (Greenland, Island, UK) in view of warming climate and growing importance of Arctics - melting ice might provide a much better and faster route for trade.

The problem is who will control the entrance and exit to that route and GIKU is one of them. And here we are on the key problem: Denmark for years totally neglected building any security/military infrastructure on Greenland, which suddenly might become a crucial element of the World economy and trade.

Do you really want sadistic regimes like Russia or China to take control over key parts of the potential trade routes (80% of global trade goes through the sees and oceans)?

Whatever you think about Trump, he will be gone in 4 years, someone else can be elected if Trump/Vance fails to deliver. Do you think we can get rid of Putin and his dreams on conquests Europe that easily? Or Xi, who is speeding with extending military potential of China, including nuclear weapons, aircraft carriers? Try to guess why Xi is doing this.
