> That said, I’m still skeptical about how practical this really is for most people.

I'm running Open WebUI for months now for me and some friends as a front-end to one of the API providers (deepinfra in my case, but there are many others, see https://artificialanalysis.ai/).

Having 1.58-bit is very practical for me. I'm looking much forward to the API provider adding this model to their system. They also added a Llama turbo (also quantized) a few months back so I have good hopes.
Yes this is exactly correct! Well said
I don't like Trump, but many of the things he is doing technically could have been exercised a long time ago. Fortunately (or unfortunately) decorum was generally a thing, so said powers were not exercised.

Now we will see the extent to which these powers can, and should be used. The way the USA is supposed to work is a balance of executive, legislative and judicial powers. The problem mainly is that the legislative branch refuses to compromise and do anything. The judicial and executive branches seem to be taking the lead, with the executive, that is the president, at the helm.

I expect even the conservative Supreme Court to rule against most of the recent activity, though. Especially the 14th amendment stuff.

The only thing Absurd is the holdouts like yourself who refuse to see the impact the current gen of AI has on. Sure, you could probably say most people are not touched but there are definitely significant populations within the US and its only going to grow and spread.

Why does the UK keep getting beaten up by IT suppliers?
Why do you bring up that you are surprised? Doesn't seem to add to the conversation.

Maybe, but HN is so good when it focuses on concrete tech issues.

AI prognostications are almost worse than the politics.
The generalized answer is layered curation versus tagged curation. In my VHS scenario, there are several layers involved. First, I'm taking the video because I think there's something important going on. Many times I'll be in the background explaining why I'm recording this for the future. When the tapes and DVDs were made, there's a general summary of the topic, ie "Children Christmas plays and grandma's house, 1993" Finally, when I'm scanning/ripping, I'm also adding information and filtering as desired.

My next project is exactly what you mention: using takeout. This project is involving going through hundreds if not thousands of videos with names like "45437905_521345565468507_6881371949495794958_n_10156232738427354.mp4" all stuck in one big folder. 10-30% of these are probably memes or other throwaway stuff, mostly because there is little to no curation going on (until now). Even if I sort keep from delete, there's still the issue of generalized topic. (FB Takeout, for instance, gives all the files the same date) Assuming I could go through them all in some automated fashion, I'd still only end up with categories an automated system could provide. That's far too reductionist to actually work, eg who wants pictures of the dinners you ate, but that one time they made the 17-layer cake, oh yeah, don't want to forget that. These edge cases are part of what makes the curation so personalized and special.

Feed-based sharing is not the same activity as recording for the future. There are different goals, audiences, situations, etc. More specifically, I'm probably going to end up with 4-7 huge hunks of hundreds of impenetrable filenames from different services, each with their own nuances -- and that's after going through takeout.

Starting in on that next project today, yikes, the last thing I want is thousands of small randomized videos from my life. You could conceivably do that by wearing a GoPro around and coding a bit. That would be a terrible (and egocentric) thing to inflict on house guests.
I appreciate discussions on politics with smart people that don't always agree with me. I don't want HN to turn into an echo chamber. I understand why people would choose not to see news about politics, and I am also frustrated by how frequently discourse about these important issues turns into personal attacks and uncivil discourse.

I second that these developments have immense repercussions in tech and in the lives of many of us (even those who live across the Atlantic such as myself).
How about WaPo choosing not endorse and then Blue Origin executives meeting with Trump the same day? Doesn’t have a fishy smell?
How is this secret?
Not so fast.

People who can compartmentalize like this see to me to be on the fringe of sociopathy.
We are attempting something with PETALS. But this question was more from a data collection perspective. We can really add value there.
Since it isn’t clear what exactly will be stopped here.

Some of these could hurt the districts with republican representation the most. Like food stamps, unemployment, and similar. So maybe something this stupid will wake people up?

A lot of other policies could be twisted so trump isn’t directly blamed. This is… pretty cut and dry if you suddenly stop getting money you rely on.

So maybe it’s actually possible? One can hope.
Re-interpreting astrology as an analysis of imperial court politics

They lack the numbers. And it seems everyone is frightened by everyone else's obsequiousness towards borderline illegal orders.
From most watch market positioning I'd assume this to be true. However for me it's the exact opposite, the watch is a tool to cut phone use. All I care about is LTE and the minimum I need to get around the world. SMS, calls, WhatsApp, Gmaps. All existing decent looking watch have atrocious battery life to offer all the health features.

For anyone wondering why "1.58" bits: 2^1.58496... = 3. The weights have one of the three states {-1, 0, 1}.
You're not "just" writing to a log. You always need a view of the state of the world to take decisions that enforce invariants (in this case, the "world" is the cart, the "decision" is whether an item can be added).

What you'd do is, when you receive the "addToCart" command, construct the current state of the cart by reading the log stream (`reduce` it into an in-memory object), which has enough data to decide what to do with the command (eg throw some sort of validation exception). Plus some concurrency control to make sure you don't add multiple items concurrently.

For reading data, you could just read the log stream to construct the projection (which doesn't need to be the same structure as the object you use for writes) in-memory, it's a completely reasonable thing to do.

So at the core, the only thing you persist is a log stream and every write/read model only exists in-memory. Anything else is an optimization.

DDD calls this "view of the world" an "aggregate". Reading the log stream and constructing your aggregate from it is usually fast (log streams shouldn't be very long), if it's not fast enough there's caching techniques (aka snapshots).

Similarly, if reducing the log stream into read models is too slow, you can cache these read models (updated asynchronously as new events are written), this is just an optimization. This comes at the cost of eventual consistency though.
How do you ensure the student model learns robust generalizations rather than just surface-level mimicry?

It was cheap, simple, did everything I wanted from a smart watch, and wasn't annoying to use (never had to worry about the battery). It wasn't a matter of a killer feature, more just the lack of the problems I see with all the alternatives since.

Making the pension a public problem won't fix it. The money has to come from somewhere.
That seems viable. But even if it works, you need to eval/test it.. which isn't a job I'd ever want to be within a million miles of. I hope the organizations tasked with tackling the problem are working on solutions third parties can deploy because they're probably the only people who legally and morally can. New laws like the UK's Online Safety Act make this quite an urgent task, too.
Ask them what's the airspeed velocity of a laden astronaut riding a horse on the moon...

Edit: couldn't resist, and dammit!!

Response: Ah, I see what you're doing! Since the Moon has no atmosphere, there’s technically no air to create any kind of airspeed velocity. So, the answer is... zero miles per hour. Unless, of course, you're asking about the speed of the horse itself! In that case, we’d just have to know how fast the astronaut can gallop without any atmosphere to slow them down.

But really, it’s all about the fun of imagining a moon-riding astronaut, isn’t it?
Everything in a society IS politics. From deciding where we order dinner from, to which framework we'll build upon. Politics is how groups decide on issues that affect all individuals in the group.

Absence of politics is an illusion. They'll still affect you regardless of you wanting to see it or not.
Without reading the post. Why is the person changing their view of their relationship with their job in the first place?

Doesn't he/she know of people who have been laid off before, among their family/friends etc? Even reading anecdotes of layoffs on the internet will reveal that one ought not be too psychologically entrenched in one's job.
I agree with you. I thought this subthread was about "hey thats funny the censorship UX is similar (and similarly weird/clunky) between chatgpt and deepseek, whaddayaknow". That the content of what they censor is different is kinda outside the scope (and I agree that depending on an AI that has CCP censorship rules built-in sounds like a bad plan)
You sound like our teachers back in the day, warning us to not use Wikipedia because "everyone can write stuff there!!". The kids will be fine.
Because no Republican would ever be elected to national office ever again?
Ideally it stops at the point where the tools actually affect your project.

Does everyone need to use the same IDE? Obviously not. Same C++ compiler? Ideally yes. (And yes you can do that in some cases, e.g. Bazel and its ilk allow you to vendor compilers.)
I think we will find that each region will have their own flair of censorship. The only reason it stands out more from a Chinese perspective is the requirement to have alignment with PRC/CCP rhetoric.
That's a good point. And, after the damage is done, who cares who started it? It's not like there will be repercussions for Putin.

Yes, fibre optic is faster, yes it's cheaper. Yes I have it in my home. Yes I'm your friend. We are the same, we are all in the same boat. There are special uses for Starlink too. It can help countries where inneficient/corrupt governments/telcos create monopolies and don't want to provide fibre.
Starlink will force all telcos to be at either faster or cheaper than Starlink. Healthy competition will make everything better.
I will still use my FTTH 1Gbps fibre optic which is 3 times cheaper than Starlink at my own house.
But I have a Starlink antenna as a backup, once a camion ripped the fibre optic cable (hanging from poles in my neighborhood) and I would have been 1 month without connection if it wasn't for Starlink.
I use Starlink at the summer houses of my families, in the long run it's cheaper than paying DSL for 12 months since you can cancel Starlink whenever we can.
We are all on the same boat, this beautiful planet called Earth, let's preserve it, but also, let's keep building awesome stuff, there is no limit to awesomeness.
You explain why I don't need them for a very different usecase than what I refer to.

My point is I want a new primitive -- a pub/sub sequence number -- to avoid having Kafka around at all.

What Kafka does is "only" to generate and store such a sequence number after all (it orders events on a partition, but the sequence number I talk about is the same thing just different storage format). So also you do need it in the setup you describe, you just let Kafka generate it instead of having it in SQL.

Assuming your workload is fine with a single DB, the only thing Kafka gives you is in fact assigning such a post-commit row sequence number (+API/libraries building on it).

This is the mechanism used to implement pub/sub: Every consumer tracks what sequence number it has read to (and Kafka guarantees that the sequence number is increasing).

That is what mssql-changefeed linked above is about: Assigning those event log sequence numbers in the DB instead. And not use any event brokers (or outboxes) at all.

For postgres I would likely then consume the WAL and write sequence numbers to another table based on those...

It may seem clunky but IMO installing and operating Kafka just to get those pub/sub sequence numbers assigned is even clunkier.

I totally agree with that, meanwhile I think mnky meant that illness doesn’t necessarily remove all your judgement. You can have totally coherent thinking on a field while being incapable to reason on another. Easy exemple : Math and Empathy, where schizophrenic may excel in the former while lacking the later. Someone affected by trisomy 21 have more chances to get the opposite. <- generalization for illustration purpose, those affections are complex and schizophrenia is a spectrum anyway.

I'd hate to compare Trump to Hitler, but many forget that Hitler and the National Socialist Party came to power completely by legal means - truly a feat of political engineering.

And furthermore, they were on the brink of total failure many, many times - but always managed to get a lifeline by the actions of indifferent politicians and statesmen - many whom could have stopped them, by simply saying no. They (NSDAP) could not believe what they managed to get away with, and the sheer luck they had.

What we're seeing now is sort of parallel to that, in the way that the people that do care, simply do not seem to take action. Maybe it's the fear of being primaried, maybe it's the fear of personal retribution, maybe they just don't want to rock the boat.

The playbook is to slowly destroy the limits of power. First step is to bombard the opposition with a flurry of orders that will need to be questioned. Some will be, but some will stick. Rinse and repeat and, the next time, orders could be more extreme. By then, they'll be harder to stop, either because you are still fighting the first round, or because there is no one left to question the next.

There is already plenty reason to be concerned.
"My goal is to cut government in half in twenty-five years, to get it down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub."

I know I skipped my usual edit sweep and my post above was pretty wordy as a result, but TL;DR I think giving her a rifle fits with Trump's pattern of "say it without saying it". If you don't agree, I'm fine conceding this is about combat. Trump is still dehumanizing and advocating for violence against his political enemies. The reason other politicians avoid this kind of rhetoric is they don't want to take the political gain at the risk of causing violence. Despite his rhetoric having led to violence multiple times, Trump continues to take the risk. Draw whatever conclusion you want from that.

In Windows–land, the Shell is the GUI. It’s Explorer putting icons and things on the screen. Those icons usually represent files and directories. Each icon can be different, usually determined by the file extension or by metadata inside the file. On top of those icons you can add overlays. TortoiseSVN adds overlays to indicate the state of files inside of an SVN repository. Dropbox likewise adds icons to files inside of a synced folder. They have to fight because Windows is dumb.

I think the jury is out. With folks trying to replicate the process we will see if the low budget is true or not. I am still on the fence, there was comments from Scale CEO that they have a huge number of H100s they used.

Did you consider having tool be an alias for indirect? That would have kept a single dependency graph per module, while still enabling one reading one’s go.mod by hand rather than using ‘go mod’ to know where each dependency came from and why?

I know, a random drive-by forum post is not the same as a technical design …
