I think they really do want to hollow out the federal government, and we should expect things like planes falling out of the sky as part of that.

Given the release of this memo[1] offering the buyout of any federal employee who wants to step down, what I think we are looking at is the Musk-Vance-Thiel axis of the MAGA movement is implementing Curtis Yarvin's "R.A.G.E." plan to install a king dictator atop a neo-feudalist executive branch. I wish those words weren't as crazy as they are, but I mean, what else am I supposed to believe when the crazy plan Yarvin is pushing[2] is coming out of the Office of Personnel Management, which is being run by a billionaire who just gave a neo-Nazi salute behind the presidential seal?

Under his Moldbug pseudonym, Yarvin gave a talk about "rebooting" the American government at the 2012 BIL Conference. He used it to advocate the acronym "RAGE", which he defined as "Retire All Government Employees". He described what he felt were flaws in the accepted "World War II mythology", alluding to the idea that Hitler's invasions were acts of self-defense. He argued these discrepancies were pushed by America's "ruling communists", who invented political correctness as an "extremely elaborate mechanism for persecuting racists and fascists". "If Americans want to change their government," he said, "they're going to have to get over their dictator phobia."[39]

They're trying to do a greenfield government like it's a startup, turning the US government into a company where they are the shareholder lords who own everything and get to decide who the king dictator is, while we are the employee peasants who don't own shit and have a say in nothing. I really wish that weren't my conclusion but those are the literal words of the guy whose plan they are doing. Quote: "get over their dictator phobia". So what else am I supposed to conclude?

I'm not OP but from my experience with both tools there are some main differences within the products:

1. Mathesar includes a lot of cool UI elements for CRUD operations on tables, schemas, and columns. Outerbase doesn't have any UI for this, but only a SQL editor.

2. Mathesar has a lot of support for "relationships" (more accurately described as references in Postgres, but I digress) that Outerbase does not. For example, if you're inserting a foreign key column into Outerbase you have to manually type the value of the column you're referencing. In Mathesar, you'll see a dropdown of all the "related" rows and be able to search through their columns to find the record you need.

3. Mathesar is postgres-exclusive, while Outerbase works with many other DB providers.

And more in terms of governance and usage:

1. Outerbase is paid, with a very restrictive free tier. The option to self host is only available to enterprise customers.

2. Mathesar is entirely free and self-hosted.

So's popularity. I'm sure they consider a lot when picking tools. You're claiming this proves something that requires hard evidence to disprove, but I don't think the connection is as strong as you imply.

I worked as an aerospace engineer, in stress analysis, for 6 years. Without a whole lot more context, these are useless. What analysis system are these matrices for? MSC/NASTRAN? What are the units? Imperial or SI? The references to 8mm tape and "mt" make me think the whole thing is from the mid 1990s, too. Without the larger context this is junk.
Because its harder to read. The example another comment linked to is a good demonstration https://github.com/fastapi/fastapi/issues/3273
Of course! But it’s better than randomly laying people off. At least it lets people who are ready to quit take the accounting impact instead of others.

Layoffs cause huge emotional trauma to people who are affected. People often slide into serious mental health issues, financial issues, etc. Often people get laid off while their peers were eyeing the door. This at least allows people to quit and take the heat off their coworkers.

Unless it's right next to a big university campus, and their friends are there, it's amazing and sad how few people show any interest in adding some free, open-to-the-public natural beauty to their lives.

Historically the problem with using LLMs for the super simple conventional NLP stuff is that they were hard to control in terms of output. If you wanted a one-word answer for a classification task, you'd often have to deal with it responding in a paragraph. This obviously hurts precision and accuracy quite a bit. There were tricks you could use (like using few-shot examples or GBNF grammars or training low-rank adapters or even re-asking the model) to constrain output a bit, but they weren't perfect.

Over the last 12-18 months though, the instruction-following capabilities of the models have improved substantially. This new mistral model in particular is fantastic at doing what you ask.

My approach to this personally and professionally is to just benchmark. If I have a classification task, I use a tiny model first, eval both, and see how much improvement I'd get using an LLM. Generally speaking though, the vram costs are so high for the latter that its often not worth it. It really is a case-by-case decision though. Sometimes you want one generic model to do a bunch of tasks rather than train/finetune a dozen small models that you manage in production instead.
dump schema on both, and compare before copying? or that may have false positives?
Simply wild coming from the person who introduced it where it was not being discussed.

If this is true, it's because you and people like you are inserting it in otherwise innocuous, productive discussions. Have you considered not doing that?
I accidentally enabled debug mode and figured out what's going on.

Whenever you click on the L0, he always teleports to an unoccupied square. Only if there is nowhere left to teleport do you get the 10XP. Since the scroll of orb uses similar mechanics to find an unoccupied square, that means it is worth using relatively early.

Incidentally, with perfect knowledge, there are at least 18 spare HP (it depends on how much XP the 1HP and 2HP walls happen to give). So theoretically you can get a score of 303 without using the last heart scroll. Without cheating the best I've done is 13 HP remaining when using the last scroll.

The only time I've got a score of 302 is when I didn't use the scroll of orb. Unlike scrolls of HP that one does seem mandatory.
The poem "Blight" by Ralph Waldo Emerson comes to mind, too: https://emersoncentral.com/texts/poems/blight/
Super easy to get started, but lacking for larger datasets where you want to understand a bit more about predictions. You generally lose things like prediction probability (though this can be recovered if you chop the head off and just assign output logits to classes instead of tokens), repeatability across experiments, and the ability to tune the model by changing the data. You can still do fine tuning, though itll be more expensive and painfaul than a BERT model.

Still, you can go from 0 to ~mostly~ clean data in a few prompts and iterations, vs potentially a few hours with a fine tuning pipeline for BERT. They can actually work well in tandem to bootstrap some training data and then use them together to refine your classification.
> Hard Mode means that you split your program into std binary and #![no_std] no-alloc library. Only the small binary is allowed to directly ask OS for resources. For the library, all resources must be injected. In particular, to do memory allocation, the library receives a slice of bytes of a fixed size, and should use that for all storage.

Writing the Rust code felt way safer because the language took care of enforcing rules about borrowing parts of the buffer.

>He later defended his assertion that diversity initiatives at the FAA could have contributed to the National Airport crash as the investigation continues.

>“No, I don’t think so at all,” Trump said when asked if he thinks his claims about the helicopter, air traffic control and DEI policies were getting ahead of the investigation. He quipped to the reporter that “I think that’s not a very smart question.”

I know I would definitely need to do some cost-benefit analysis. Good advice regarding implementing scripts to help within the work environment.
You asked 'at what point will be it be considered human with added inputs' so I asked the reverse question. It is no more or less charitable to ask 'when does one stop being human with fewer inputs' than to ask 'when does one become human as inputs are added'.
I'm not sure I'd agree reading a book is isolating. At a minimum, you can (assuming a human author...) "get inside the author's brain." Some books are better at this than others, certainly.

But even without that, look at the popularity of book discussions, book clubs, and things like that. Multiple people, reading the same book, at the same pace, and discussing it. That's the opposite of isolating, and is impossible to achieve with "personalized feeds." There's no common point to discuss.

And, as yet another example, have you ever read a book that someone else has marked up and taken notes in? Passing a book around a few friends, each with a different color pen to make notes, is certainly not isolating.
The U.S. could of course just have automatic cost of living adjustment s to minimum wage, like it does for social security payments.

Those questions are what make Christianity endlessly fascinating. We debate these things all the time at our house. Makes for fun conversation, if the participants are able to be civil.
Show HN: Reactive Signals for Python – inspired by Angular's reactivity model
Hey everyone, I built reaktiv, a small reactive signals library for Python, inspired by Angular’s reactivity model. It lets you define Signals, Computed Values, and Effects that automatically track dependencies and update efficiently. The main focus is async-first reactivity without external dependencies.

Here is an example code:

```
import asyncio
from reaktiv import Signal, ComputeSignal, Effect

async def main():
count = Signal(0)
doubled = ComputeSignal(lambda: count.get() * 2)

async def log_count():
print(f"Count: {count.get()}, Doubled: {doubled.get()}")

Effect(log_count).schedule()
count.set(5) # Triggers: "Count: 5, Doubled: 10"
await asyncio.sleep(0) # Allow effects to process

asyncio.run(main())
```

A very good point but that’s where education comes in. I’m glad Karsa seems to be teaching people to fish rather than just giving people fish.
Substack is trash. VC-backed, full of tracking pixels and privacy-invading anti-features, constant push to monetize, cross-promote and increase engagement... Every blogger who has moved there has gotten less interesting than they were when they were independent. It's everything that is wrong about social media cynically branded as some kind of alternative media outlet.

Of course there is plenty of money to be made as a social media influencer who specializes in long form content, and if that's the career a person is interested in building then sure - Substack, Medium, whatever - great choice. But for people who are interested in blogging as it used to be, independent writers who want to write without the pressure of editors, without paywalls, without popups, without forcing their readers into signup funnels... It might be a bit more work to set up, but tools like WordPress, Ghost etc are better suited.
The compensation package for a job includes a certain mix of "how hard do we make you work, how nice are the conditions, how much do we pay". Minimum wage keeps you from trading those off. Now you get paid more but you have to hustle to earn it, no perks, and less budget for the safety committee.

> Trump is out there blaming Biden's administration for hiring bad ATC under the banner of DEI.

The policies were in place since 2013, and somehow were not a problem during Trump's first term (2016-2020).

> Meanwhile, his detractors blame him and Musk for letting go of some FAA administrator.

The FAA administrator in question was around for about a year, and had a term until 2028, so there's no need to push him out now.

And the crash is not the fault of Biden or Trump, but there is unnecessary chaos because of Trump et al.

As someone (I forget who), "God is not something you believe in. God is something you experience". In my view, any given religion is just the accumulated ways in which a specific group of people found to handle the aftermath of that experience.

Of course, the problem is that you get indoctrinated into a religion before you have a chance to experience It in the first place and end up mistaking the aftermath of the experience

Your original claim was that "only European powers had the urge for colonization," but now you're citing Arab, Egyptian, and Phoenician examples. Do you see these as exceptions? If so, wouldn't that contradict your original claim? Or are you reconsidering your definition of colonialism—or using "European" in a broader sense (that somehow includes Arabs and Egyptians)?

I'm not critical of UNIX for this tool specifically, and I think it would be useful even if UNIX did things differently - a "pick best fitting emoji for arbitrary line of text" is a well-defined task, and I hit scenarios where I'd wish I had such tool surprisingly often.
A single source of truth for facts is fine. A single source of truth that has to be reflected by external reality? Less fine. At that point, you pretty much have to have reconciliation processes to account for when they don't match.

Oddly, I'd argue that the better way to view this is that the central database is the materialization of the data sources scattered around where work actually happens. As such, you have to have constructs that account for provenance and timing introduced there that aren't as necessary at the edges.

>Which is also why I have a sneaking suspicion that most economic theory is complete bullshit. All the debates over privatization vs. public services, monopoly vs. competition, autocratic vs. democratic styles of leadership etc. are mostly irrelevant. Both can work. It all boils down to whether you have good human stakeholders who have the integrity and agency to do the right thing.

I don't think this is some gotcha, but basic economic understanding for at least the last hundred years. Fundamentally, much of economic theory acknowledges these questions. This brings you full circle, given inconsistent humans with individual values, how do different systems and rulesets perform.

I know I should have framed the question in a less naive way. I did some very basic programming running some statistics before, and enjoyed the process greatly. But I would not classify it as programming experience in the general sense, it was more about thinking of the statistical problem at hand and using minimal programming to help. I would still classify myself in the "no programming or minimal programming" category, but I'm not oblivious to the industry.
That seems like it's only data that's self reported by the agencies themselves, I suspect the real number is much, much higher.
Not to argue, but just to drop some opinions for info sake. Early Christians largely did agree about the divinity of Jesus (it's in the gospels at least). Hell isn't really an Orthodox doctrine at all. The concept of Sheol/Hades predates the NT, and the modern idea of "hell" is more of a recent Western invention.
And yet dogs, to a very high degree, just learn the same things. At least the same kinds of things, over and over.
