Those are good points, we are currently experimenting with mixing both approaches storing in graph db and vector embeddings. One is giving structured output with querying possibilities (most LLMs are really good at generating Cypher queries) and somewhat general search with embeddings.

Huh, you didn't learn about how Indira Gandhi was assassinated by two of her Sikh bodyguards? It's pretty old stuff but it was a fairly significant event.
> Why Can't Programmers Be More Like Ants?

Because ants dont have business units. Most of us, programmers, are slaves to the business and we have to do what they want from us, not what we want or think is optimal to do. And the requirements can change often. How fast those changes would be notified by others in decentralized "ants approach"? Would the business survive with this approach?
Thank you! That looks more promising.
No, I see the green, but I don't see any shaded green. Though this has probably to do that ISBNs are distributed in blocks and every pixel is either red or green?
Your dislike of "gangs of homeless people" existing shouldn't be directed at the homeless people, but the gangs. In an area where black communities have high crime rates, the answer wouldn't be to go after black people, but address the crime directly. I don't see why this should any different.

> Lesson painfully learnt.

There are actually two lessons there:

1. Be careful what you open to the public internet, including testing to make sure you aren't accidentally leaving open defaults as they are.

2. Backups. Set them up, test them, make sure someone successfully gaining access to the source box(es) can't from there wipe all the backups.

<< That's not management imho.

It isn't. I made this point on this forum before, but I personally think management class has been largely skating by for multiple decades now with covid ( and maybe very briefly OWS ) being the only few things remotely changing the balance of power in a way that forced them to re-asses the situation.

The amusing complaint that I heard was that remote management is harder ( it is likely true ) when compared to in-person.

<< "who is willing to drive or train to work?"

This is the part that is interesting to me for several different reasons. I don't consider myself a top player ( and I objectively am not ), but I know people who are. Those people tend to be capable enough to go on their own if needed, but are sufficiently comfortable that they won't unless pushed too far. In simple terms, either companies find ways to make exceptions undermining the whole spirit of this exercise ( because that is all it is -- show of power ) losing the few people that make things happen or stick to their guns to ease managerial discomfort and keep commercial property values in place.

I don't have to make those decisions, but having seen some recent projects lately, I don't think management can afford to lose those key individuals, because I can say with all certainty that throwing a bunch of contractors on it will not work; I will even go a little further, throwing contractors on it will only make things worse.

edit: Removed last line. It sounded better in my head.
What do you mean by a ZFS compatibility layer? There is a Windows port:

Thank you for the kind appreciation. ascii-text third party ads adds a whole commercial dimension... Now, to make it really 21st century, someone can replace the "randumb" computer player with an LLM adversary :)
Sounds like your homeserver is having problems, or authenticated media wasn't turned on right. If you can chuck a bug into github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues we'll look at it.
Same. Denon receiver, some capable speakers, and Airport Express for Airplay (which I would love to replace for something with a bit less connection delay - come on, Apple)! Only the last part is dependent on a modern stack ,the first two will last decades.
If that were to be solved (if at all possible, and feasible / competitive) I can definitely see "LLM mining" be a historic milestone. Also much closer to the spirit of F@H in some sense, depending how you look at it. Would there be a financial incentive? And how would it be distributed? Could you receive a stake in the LLM proportional to the contribution you did? Would that be similar in some sense to purchasing stock in an AI company, or mining tokens for a crypto currency? Potentially a lot of opportunity here.
Its a common sense feature that most people appreciate. Often a consumer getting a drone for Christmas doesn't know they are near a reserved airspace for a hospital helipad.

That's exactly an n-th example of why this non-commercial clause is bogus since the very beginning of CC, and particularly unadapted for software code: no one is able to define clearly what commercial means, and what perimeter it applies to.

Selling the code? (you're a software editor) You could say it's covered/forbidden by the license.

Selling the service the code gives when it is running? (you're a PaaS) You could say too.

Selling anything unrelated to the code and the running app (say, oranges), but using the app to organise privately within a corporation? (you could be a shop owner installing the software for yourself and your team within your own building) 1/ the license says nothing about it, 2/ if it were covered and forbidden, how would it be even enforceable?
Requirement for enterprise quality disks, huge RAM (1 gig per TB), ECC, at least x5 disks of redundancy. None of these are things, but people will try to educate you anyway. So use it but keep it to yourself. :)

Originally, people meant that you were inclusive and caring about all people. Except, you know, those hateful people on the right. Because fuck them. (I'm not even kidding. This is how they really felt, somehow.)

But then "the right" got ahold of the term and used it to mean the people above who went above and beyond and were actually being harmful instead of helpful, in the name of "being woke".

Personally, I think the pejorative term is a lot more accurate, especially for most people who consider themselves "woke". They drink their own koolaid and believe what they're doing is helpful, and can't see the divide that they are causing.

Of course, there are a ton of trolls (who are also probably on "the right") that use it to cause the divide as well.

So in the end, it ends up just being a way for jerks on both sides to rile each other up, instead of actually helping anyone.

The cops-and-robbers definition of Treewidth is quite intuitive.

You have an undirected graph with a robber moving infinitely fast along the edges of the graph.

You have k cops, each driving their own very slow helicopter that can land on any vertex you want (but it takes some time). The cops can communicate and they know at any time where the robber is.

Given a graph, how many cops do you need to catch the robber, i.e., trap the robber on an edge?

In a tree: 2

On a cycle: 3

In an n × m grid graph: you need min(n, m) + 1.

---

In the game where the cops don't know where the robber is, the "width measure" is called pathwidth.
Also, when comparing the empty wokeness to the substantive protest movement of the sixties, Graham not only neglects to mention the real achievements of the former (LGBT rights, some MeToo successes) but also the performative aspects of the latter, as if radical chic never happened or a whole fashion and lifestyle (with a name that lasts to this day) -- also co-opted by corporations -- didn't emerge. I think there was even a pretty famous musical about it.
> After a while, one of the head Gurus decided that if the way to do God's work was to live a good life, and there were oppressors who were committed to preventing you from doing so, then a necessary part of God's work would require, er, helping those oppressors to reincarnate as quickly as possible.

That is a viewpoint that I believe was ... either missed, ignored or deemed to collide too much with back-then views on national sovereignty after the world wars. Humanity decided to give itself at least a basic set of rules of civilized behavior - think of stuff like the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948 or the Hague and Geneva accords on waging war.

But what good are these rules, when there was and is barely any enforcement of them, especially against large/hegemonial powers? The utter majority of war crime tribunals were against African warlords and a couple of the worst actors in Yugoslavia during the 90s collapse/independence wars. Meanwhile, all of the permanent UNSC member countries (especially the US, Russia and China, but also France and the UK) have faced a host of credible war crime or general human rights violation accusations, and so did and do many of their protege countries - in the Western sphere, Turkey is accused of a genocide against the Kurds, Israel with the Palestinians, and on the other side we got accusations of a physical and cultural genocide of Russia against Ukraine, of China against Tibetans and Uyghurs, or Syria's falln regime against everyone but Alawites.

Good - even as EU citizen from a "wealthier" country who also considered buying an apartment in Spain I felt put off by the sheer amount of non-EU citizens taking the easy and cheap route out, coming over to sunny, walkable and high quality of life Spain with good public health system and showing their excitement about the "low prices" - which aren't even that low by EU means, at least for locals working local jobs. A friend advised me last March to "buy an apartment before the flood / US election" - but no, I'm not buying into the hype. Fix your political issues overseas or be welcome by paying a fair premium adjusted to the higher income and earn respect by becoming part of the community / learning some Spanish. There needs to be some entry barrier / incentive / application process. In general I can understand why the Spaniards resist. Of course debatable whether it should be all non-EU or simply a list of significantly wealthier countries / countries with high wealth gap and oligarch investors that pay the higher entrance fee.

In order to keep there main business methods viable, Coke et all ,are going to depend on some sort of world wide infrastructure, that captures and processes all of the waste plastic.
It is going to require a whole new technoindustrial way of dealing with all garbage.
Recycling as it is bieng attempted, ie: downloading the need for mechanical seperation of plastics, onto consumers, is not, nor will ever work. WAY WAY too much dog shit bieng bagged and tossed into whichever bin is handy.Not counting
all of the random metal and glass, etc, etc ,etc.
The whole thing will need to be mechanised and monitored, and "profits" will....shift

The main issue is stigma, which is to say, reputation, which is to say politics and power.
The catch is that the west could soon and suddenly
be faced with MILLIONS of TONS per MONTH, of garbage, piling up everywhere, and the whole thing
devolving into wars, to degrade undevoped countrys to the point, where they will "accept" the wests export of our contradictions.
Coke is the ultimate example of marketing success, and cant do anything else, and I am quite
sure that coke, would rather go bankrupt, than become a waste management company. So its best to ignore them, and the other producers of plastic
packaging, and just deal with all garbage at scale.

But even if that is true, why would the companies feel comfortable losing their most competent workforce ( because those are the ones, who can pick up their toys and leave in US )? I was in corporate way too long and I know a lot can be done with warm bodies, but some of the stuff on the horizon will require people with at least some institutional knowledge that this lay off would generate.

Unless, and I do mean unless, because I did not work at JPM, JPM is so well run, that it truly does not matter.
Perhaps but WW2 may not have started if the Russians hadn't enthusiastically partnered with Hitler in 1939 to invade Poland together. Most of the stuff we think of bad about WW2 - killing lots of people to take their lands, slaughter of jews was pioneered Russia before Hitler was born.

Unfortunate accident because they were not supposed to be at the pass, there were well travelled safe routes to California, but the party were told of a "shortcut" that was untravelled and dangerous. They got stranded far from civilisation, with no chance of having someone stumble on them or know to send help.

Shouldn't have happened and they got help from some indigenous people that have been surviving there for quite a bit, I reckon - which tells me that people could survive then in those conditions.
It's often vastly more expensive to inference, but vastly cheaper and faster to train / set up.

Many LLM use cases could be solved by a much smaller, specialized model and/or a bunch of if statements or regexes, but training the specialized model and coming up with the if statements requires programmer time, an ML engineer, human labelers, an eval pipeline, ml ops expertise to set up the GPUs etc.

With an LLM, you spend 10 minutes to integrate with the OpenAI API, and that's something any programmer can do, and get results that are "good enough".

If you're extremely cash-poor, time-rich and have the right expertise, making your own model makes sense. Otherwise, human time is more valuable than computer time.
Ahh interesting, thanks.
I bought recently Samsung HW-Q990D, generally better rated than similarly priced Sonos. Had a bit of mental resistance with the Samsung+audio pair, I am more a Sennheiser type of person.

Sound is fine, not hifi just a notch below, but good hifi surround is a 10k thingie. They cost 500-800 in Europe, much less than Sonos surround+sub solutions. No issues with connectivity, connect via eArc with TV without issues and starts with it, bluetooth with both Samsung and Apple OK too. Have some extra features when paired with Samsung TVs. One detail I love - extra bass control on remote, so I can move it down easily during late night watching (low frequencies travel better through walls).

I like them a lot and run Spotify from phone on them all the time.
This helps a lot! Thank you very much!
Just to correct a small detail, you don’t need to attend a service to visit langar hall and have a meal. Generally Gurudwaras serve 3 meals a day and you can just visit them. From my experience they will do their utmost to serve you regardless of the time when you arrive.

If you’re ever near one and want to serve they usually are very welcoming of any help and I find the process to be quite meditative, personally.
Ok, give me an example of what you would consider reasoning.
My thinkpad from college uses ZFS as its rootfs. The benefits are:

* If the hard drive / SSD corrupted blocks, the corruption would be identified.
* Ditto blocks allow for self healing. Usually, this only applies to metadata, but if you set copies=2, you can get this on data too. It is a poor man’s RAID.
* ARC made the desktop environment very responsive since unlike the LRU cache, ARC resists cold cache effects from transient IO workloads.
* Transparent compression allowed me to store more on the laptop than otherwise possible.
* Snapshots and rollback allowed me to do risky experiments and undo them as if nothing happened.
* Backups were easy via send/receive of snapshots.
* If the battery dies while you are doing things, you can boot without any damage to the filesystem.

That said, I use a MacBook these days when I need to go outside. While I miss ZFS on it, I have not felt motivated to try to get a ZFS rootfs on it since the last I checked, Apple hardcoded the assumption that the rootfs is one of its own filesystems into the XNU kernel and other parts of the system.

> a new form of state-sponsored terrorism

Government assassinations of exilants... that's sadly not new at all. Back when Yugoslavia was governed by Tito, the regime sent out killer squads across the world for about half a century [1] - mostly Germany was targeted (because most Yugoslavs ended up there as Germany was rich and happily accepted emigrants fron Yugoslavia), but Croats got also targetted in places as far away as Canada, South Africa, Argentinia or Australia.

It's a dark part of history many people to this day aren't aware of, it only made the news again for a short time after the attacks on Litvinenko, Skripal and Khangoshvili respectively.

Living to 110? Bad record-keeping, researcher says
It's not that Floyd was a criminal. Garner was too though perhaps you can nitpick about degrees. It's a difference in how they were killed. The police were called on Floyd (for questionable reasons, but reasons nonetheless) whereas the police initiated contact with Garner on the basis that he wasn't giving their employer its fair cut. Floyd was killed by a rouge-ish cop who's partner didn't intervene and the system failed to hold accountable. Garner, was killed by multiple cops working together because he didn't just bend over and take it when they confronted him over a victimless crime, basically a summary execution over contempt of cop, and the institutions the cops report to thought this was fine and dandy, until people started protesting.

So yeah, Garner was the better martyr IMO.
