I don't know what you think is genius about any of this, but you're right, the flex is odd. It's something I've been seeing more and more of lately, and I find it off-putting, because, Back In My Day, I never had such a phase, where I felt like I should be given more credit for my 1337 h4xx0r skillz, because I was in high school or whatever—and I don't remember anyone else doing it, either.

I can only assume this is a consequence of modern social media having shifted the Internet from being a bunch of pseudonymous people making and sharing stuff, to everything being myopically focused on one's identity first, and what they do second (as is literally the case here).

And it looks like it works to achieve its desired effect, too—a significant portion of the comments here are congratulating the guy for doing such a thorough technical write-up, given his age. Maybe this is just me being a grumpy “old” man now, but I would've found that condescending when I was his age, and would've rather concealed my age than be condescended to as such. But, to each his own, I suppose.
ZFS lets you create copy-on-write clones of live filesystems. It also lets you re-define (via `zfs promote`) which one is the clone and which one is the original.

Two downsides of that approach would be that 1. you would have to have ZFS as your root filesystem (which comes with its very own layers of complexity and trouble), and 2. to roll back, you'd have to reboot the system and change a kernel cmdline parameter so it boots back into the previous filesystem in its original state.

No matter which technique you end up using (ZFS or anything else), I think as long as you're on a bare metal system, rebooting or at least `kexec`-ing will be unavoidable. A live kernel can't change its own state back to a saved previous version, except in a few select special situations.
I am not sure this aphorism is helping in any way though? of course system needs to be fixed, there are about 829 things google/bigtech-wise that needs to be fixed but of course they won't be fixed. the only course of action in vast majority of cases like this is legal action

This should be an indication that tracking as a personal health methodology is inherently flawed. Your body is your most accurate measurement system, both in terms of precision and accuracy but also in its multidimensional, intersectional measurement apparatus that completely demolishes the poor substitutes found in personal nutrition, which are continuously shown to be either flawed in theory or in practice.

Tracking takes more work and is less accurate. Bad trade.

The only use I see in tracking is to perhaps help one inform one's intuition. But that's as far as I'll go.

This is the same impression I got, precisely because of this description. If it's the effect of a field, it would seem that by the point you notice it blocking your forward progress, you're already rather deep in it.

Perhaps humans feel resistance/repulsive forces non-linearly?

Makes me think of magnets, too - when you have two strong magnets oriented so they repel each other, and try to get them closer, the effect is very strongly non-linear and, unless you're intentionally pushing the magnets together with significant force, can feel like it turns on almost instantly.
> This is all a deflection anyway from the point that high levels of immigration increase demand. Unless you don't believe in supply and demand, which is basic economics.

*Supply* and demand.

Immigrants supply, they don't just demand.

Immigrants (everywhere, not just to the UK) have a slightly higher supply-to-demand ratio than locals, owing to many of them not starting at age 0; likewise emigration tends to means supply going down faster than demand.

I have a drawer where my out of season clothes go. Fall and spring are a little chaotic, but once I admit it’s too cold for short sleeves or it’s consistently warm enough for them, that settles back down. But it was a good excuse to get rid of exercise clothes that fit poorly. And I got rid of enough that I could replace a few pieces with brands that were more comfortable.
FWIW if it's the government, wouldn't they be able to just get direct access to Cloudflare logs - in real-time even - and thus observe and track the specific incoming connection to fetch the cached image?
If you don't value your and your developer's time, certainly, containerize everything.

I've rarely seen a feedback loop with containers that's not longer than 10s only due to containerization itself, and that breaks the "golden" 10s rule (see https://www.nngroup.com/articles/response-times-3-important-...).

If you aim for quicker turn-around (eg. just running a single test in <1s), you'll have to either aggressively optimize containers (which is pretty non-idiomatic with Docker containers in particular), or do away with them.
I think it is an interesting and underappreciated aspect of calorie counting as well. I think calories are a decent first order approximation for foods that humans (and animals) evolved eating, because we are efficient extracting chemical energy.

The alternative would be empirical animal studies that look directly at weight as a function of feed. You will note that agribusiness doesn't mess around with calories when money is on the line. Instead relies on empirical data for mass as a function of feed type.

That's not really what the article is talking about. The article is referring to the fact that you can ask for specific verses in some version/translation (that are KNOWN) and the potential for the LLM to confidently generate a completely fabricated or subtly different copy.

And going a step further, any follow-up questions to the LLM will be using this incorrect copy as the source for interpretation causing it to go even further in the wrong direction.

Incidentally - this was occurring using a custom fine-tuned model with an added layer of RAG.

I think their thought process is unconvincing, although I think they're probably correct.

A much better paper is, "Procedural Knowledge in Pretraining Drives Reasoning in Large Language Models". They took it much further and trained an LLM such that for every inference, they could see exactly which document from the training dataset it referenced to answer a particular question. ngl This paper AGI-pilled me.

I have a mini PC with an n100 CPU connected to a small 7" monitor sitting on my desk, under the regular PC. I have llama 3b (q4) generating endless stories in different genres and styles. It's fun to glance over at it and read whatever it's in the middle of making. I gave llama.cpp one CPU core and it generates slow enough to just read at a normal pace, and the CPU fans don't go nuts. Totally not productive or really useful but I like it.
"Important people" eat because they can afford to pay people to make eating convenient for them.

Selling stuff that doesn't exist yet is pretty common, whether it's a preorder or a corporate contract. It doesn't mean you're getting the cash before you deliver the product. But it helps validate that there's someone out there who will give you the cash once you have the working product.
Sure. What strikes me as strange, however, is the attitude that this is the only possible path to starting your own business in tech. Sure you’re not going to start up your own social network, but maybe you’ve got a great idea for some kind of QoL thing that helps people work with these big inflexible systems? Many of these startups seem to be shit at providing expertly personalized or customized services because they’re trying to be a big at-scale corporation from day one. Maybe you devise a way to semi-automate customized solutions for some common enterprise thing too sticky for at-scale services to address specifically so companies have to do it in—house? It seems like there are problems that would be easier to address with a small business like that which could organically grow into something sustainable. Definitely not sexy, and I think people making tech startups currently are often more interested in sexy than anything else.

Yeah, pytest-harvest is a pretty cool plugin.

In case of this "invisible electrostatic wall", there were likely significant amount of people in that company who were at least somewhat into Star Trek[0], so I'd expect more than mere "meh, this happens" from people who had just seem to have accidentally invented a force field. It's not merely a weird emergent behavior, it's a behavior closely resembling a sci-fi technology, and therefore likely to have similar applications - so quite obviously a potential money and fame printer.

Only 20% of China's energy consumption is in the form of electricity. The rest is transport, heating and cooking. They do use some coal for heating & cooking but it's fairly negligible. Therefore coal only supplies about 13% of energy.

Losing gasoline would absolutely suck for them, though. They have a commuter economy like all the other developed economies; if people can't go to work, the economy ceases to function. Hence the strong push toward EVs.

China has abundant coal, abundant hydro, lots of solar potential (although I think their installed base is just getting started), and decent wind. It makes a lot of sense for them to electrify their economy so that they can transform those coal and hydro resources to something you can drive around.
Funny, just today I finished reversing a similar toy printer, the "bear" printer, not the "cat" one, and writing a driver/library for it in Rust just for the sake of finally learning a bit of it.

Looking at the code you shared, it seems like the cat has quite a different protocol than the bear. The opcodes seem different, and there seems to be some sort of crc happening that is completely absent in the bear. So I doubt my code will work without major adjustments.

In case you missed it, the first link you shared also has a "test unknown printer", so maybe yours is just a minor hardware iteration but might work nonetheless!

I mean, I really don't know how to react to this type of situation, personally. I do think that the CEO of a firm doing a fascist salute, multiple times, on live television is actually relevant to the business interests of the company, and the political interest of the nations in which it operates.

Do I think it's worth talking about in this context? I honestly don't know. I get your point. I also understand that it was the type of "Lol, nothing matters" flamebait, meant to ruffle feathers intentionally, but it's relevant that this is exactly that ethos pointed to in Sartre's Anti-Semite and Jew about the actual brownshirts and blackshirts this salute is meant to directly reference:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Semite_and_Jew

No, I would agree with you that the salute isn't directly relevant to the pledge in the article, but it's certainly directly relevant to whether or not the pledge is being made in good-faith. This is why I think it's relevant, even if it's exhausting. We just live in exhausting times.
