Any reasonable reader would conclude that the Pevensie children are the main characters in that series.

Indeed, that was the whole point - Lewis wrote Narnia for his goddaughter Lucy. That's why she's the main character! He wrote it so she could enjoy a story about a girl just like herself!

Fwiw, I've also enjoyed books and video games all my life, including Narnia. None of the characters have ever looked or spoken like me, unless they were a caricature to be made fun of. I still read a lot because that's my nature. That's fine, it is what it is. But I hope the next generation experiences something better than what I did.

Frankly your comment sounds like cope. You so badly want to identify with this series so you decided that the main characters are the Telmarines.
Be aware that you're gonna have a bad time in scenarios where code is serialized using one Lua version and deserialized using another. Bytecode compatibility is not guaranteed between different versions of Lua(JIT).

I've shipped Love2D games as bytecode that wouldn't run on many Linux boxes because their LuaJIT installation (which is not part of Love2D but part of the system) was too old, or they stopped working after the user updated their system. There's a plethora of situations where something like that can happen.

I'm also wary of the "upvalues are preserved" feature, which sounds like a huge footgun, but I haven't looked into the details of your implementation.
The obvious question is, if you have the evidence, why not just show it?
How is the black box a safety feature? The word "safety" is used by everyone nowadays when they don't have actual arguments for things they impose on others.

well supported? the point is that you have to install additional tools for either syntax.
Damn. It must be nice. Here in the US we struggle to hold police officers accountable for not shooting civilians.

I have hope that the culture around policing will change if people finally realize that the crime rates have dropped. But with fear of crime being a great lever with which to control people's vote, I don't see it happening anytime soon. The population is too vast, outliers too common, and ignorance of statistics too widespread. It will always be easy to convince people that some place they know nothing about is a Mad Max hellscape and that it's coming for them.
Similar to this, but I actually needed to compile it. Still only took 5 minutes to be up and running even though I've never gone near that toolchain before.

Not seriously enough to install security updates nor to not deploy hijacked scripts, but still.

When this happens in the 2020s, it doesn't mean anymore very smart hackers. It means incompetent developer and sysadmin personnel.
Jane Street and a handful of few other elite shops make up a tiny percentage of the finance industry’s tech workforce though.

I used OpenAI APIs to generate training data for some run-of-the-mill ML models at my work, for some use cases where people wanted to use LLMs directly, but that could be easily fulfilled by smaller well trained models.

Is OpenAI going to complain about me too?
Here's my hot take: systemd is the best thing that happened to Linux.

I genuinely believe it's the reason Linux has dominated the other operating systems in the server space in the past decade. As someone who manages servers I wouldn't even consider the other options in space right now, and the features systemd provides is a substantial part of that decision.
The ["Infinite View"](https://pdimagearchive.org/infinite-view/) page is pretty neat.
Everything being "not unambiguously good" doesn't mean it's all equivalent. Even if we can't quantify things perfectly, we can still make reasonable comparisons. I don't know precisely how much an adult tiger or raccoon weighs, I'm still pretty sure about which one is heavier.
The "moderation log" is pretty cool. Nice seeing the transparency. And also, the workload.

Let me enable the features that I consider I might need, such as permanent logging of speed, seatbelts, inclination, etc. Let me disable the features I don't want when I don't want them.

Cars sold to the police have the option to not have their lights permanently on, so it is definitely possible / software setting, it's just inaccessible to regular users.
How does this compare to using something like Ballista for data pipelines?

The latter benefits a lot from building on top of Apache Arrow and Apache Datafusion.
I was also going to say this looks similar to one layer of dask - dask takes arbitrary python code and uses cloudpickle to serialise it in order to propagate dependencies to workers, this seems to be an equivalent layer for rust.
Eventually, but I'm not sure it's quite there yet. It has reflection surfaces, but I'd still need to add some more features like absorption, and more advanced frequency analysis. Treating a room is pretty techy - but I'm sure it could give you some ideas.

I'd like to look more into the acoustic modeling capabilities later on - and give it some more advanced features

Self-Publishing an eBook as a Developer
I recently turned an old article into an eBook as a few people had asked me for an offline copy, and found the process of actually doing it fairly interesting and complicated. I couldn't find many retrospective posts about actually self-publishing something like this, especially not from the perspective of a developer wanting to just publish something they've already written, so I wrote about it in case anyone finds it interesting or wants to give it a go themselves.

> Any reasonable reader would conclude that the Pevensie children are the main characters in that series.

The main characters even in books they do not appear in (The Magicians Nephew and The Silver Chair) or appear in only as minor characters (The Horse and His Boy and The Last Battle)?

The older two Pevensies are only main characters in two books.

> Frankly your comment sounds like cope. You so badly want to identify with this series so you decided that the main characters are the Telmarines.

That comment is an ad hominem and does not relate to what I sad at all.

I think the difference is that I am actually familiar with the books, and that you cannot let go of preconceived notions.

> None of the characters have ever looked or spoken like me, unless they were a caricature to be made fun of

I do not know enough about you to be able to evaluate that statement.

Edit to add:

> Indeed, that was the whole point - Lewis wrote Narnia for his goddaughter Lucy.

He dedicated one book in the series to his god-daughter. he was written about his motives and inspirations for the series elsewhere and it goes far beyond "writing a book for Lucy".
I don't have personal experience with zfsboot - I have used UEFI/systemd-boot previously with ZFS root, and now use an initrd which loads the encryption key to ZFS root.

But NixOS itself does something similar, it has generations and if you change some setting and rebuild your system, the previous' link will be available in the boot menu, so you can easily try out stuff and just revert if it doesn't work - it is file system independent, but it only handles nix-specific stuff.

It's incomprehensible. I make some changes to config files and they don't apply so I have to find whatever poorly-documented systemd thing is controlling it instead. It is taking over every important area of the operating system. Init, login, boot, it just keeps spreading. I think on other Linux systems I am better able to reason through and modify aspects of the system or fix a problem I am having.

I have been trying out atomic Fedora and enjoying it. I like ostree, read only root, podman, building the distro from containers. I think I have had enough of systemd, though, and might move on because of it.
Thanks.

I used to use those plugins, but I found that there wasn't enough control.

Sure, you can automate the position of individual objects, but you cannot then easily move the listner's position in relation to your sources - which Audiocube can.

It gives you more control, flexibility, and realtime interaction when it comes to moving the listener around a moving scene. And you can control the distance of sound propogation, you can add in walls for reflections and occlusion etc - essentially building virtual acoustic environments.
It's really contradictory that the party of less regulation are introducing more friction and bureaucracy in scientific research process. But then it's also the party of anti-science so I can see why.
Thank you, Ben. Wow! TIL.
In that case, you're not using an animal to improve your life. At most, you're forcing yourself to look a bit outwards and focus your energy on an animal, in other ways put strain on yourself.

Most pets love you unconditionally back, as long as you don't abuse & neglect them knowingly. They will look after you and motivate you to continue having this feeling by looking after yourself, too.

Losing a loved pet can leave a scar which can last a life time. I still miss my pet bird, which lived for more than a decade, and died peacefully, and brought limitless joy to everyone in the family, by loving, demanding attention and trolling us.

Animals may look simpler than us, but almost all of them know the language of love and care way better than us.
I realised I meant 20 samples, not ms!

Really? I mean I haven't seen an iLok used in anger since the bad days of Prosumer ProTools.

Ableton, Reaper, Reason, and all associated VST and VSTi's from the incumbents like Arturia through to Korg and Roland, are all hardware-dongle free. Most use some sort of 30 day license server check-in or similar cloud platform intermittent auth.

N.B. I don't use Waves or UA software. Ever. Licensing models are akin to common assault.

Is Ollama just the porcelain around llama.cpp? Or is there more to it than that?
How about something like:

Sol3/CA/Toronto

I'd also like all 50 state capitols (and possibly also their largest city) to exist as E.G.

Sol3/US/WA-Olympia and Sol3/US/WA-Seattle (respectively to the above; I don't know Canadian provinces that well)

Sol3 is a prefix for the 3rd planet (starting ordinal 1, but anything in the orbit of Sol can be Sol0) in our solar system. It's also nicely short so easy to type out in command lines.

Every state _should_ have it's own TZ file, even if it's just an alias. That's a good forward compatible way of allowing the same config to work if future legislative efforts produce or remove timezones. It would also allow E.G. Arizona's non DST timezone to remain correctly configured in some future where the US finally ends the nightmare of DST forever.

Realistically, there is not really any way to create trust other than telling people "we are trustworthy".

The risk is that if the company is found wanting in the trust department, all the previously built up trust evaporates in an instant, and it's nigh on impossible to regain.

So yes, I do think trust is a function of marketing budget.

So each "process" is deployed as a separate binary, so presumably run as a separate process?

If so, this seems somewhat problematic in terms of increased overhead.

How is fast communication achieved?
Some fast shared memory IPC mechanism?

Also, I don't see anything about integration with async?
For better or worse, the overwhelming majority of code dealing with networking has migrated to async. You won't find good non-async libraries for many things that need networking.
yes, it's a convenience wrapper around llama.cpp
Is anyone going to tell them how bad that name is? Especially considering their other project is called ruff...
This is going to sound like a troll, but it's an honest question: Why do people use Ollama over llama.cpp? llama.cpp has added a ton of features, is about as user-friendly as Ollama, and is higher-performance. Is there some key differentiator for Ollama that I'm missing?
Yes, also no Command-. to send CTRL-C is a glaring omission for an app intended to be native on the Mac. They got Command-K right, though.

Exactly. Some kind of audio bridge is one of the main priorities for me. I think this will really open up options, and almost make it like a virtual studio space/echo chamber for reamping stuff.

It's just a matter of working out the best way to enable multi-channel input, and connect to DAWs, I'm researching it and I've had some basic success but I think I need to go deeper into the programming grind to achieve it.
If you couldn't see the anti-China rhetoric was a smoke screen, now it should be pretty obvious, with the US going down a similar road (eg. vetting projects that goes against the government's ideology... which is ironically what most far right politicians say they are against: ideology).

It would be good to know an approximate time schedule for our payments. Why have not we received email from Persona for the required identification? It is a little too boring and frustrating for waiting for so long time, maybe they think that everyone is millionaire in dollar and time ??? It would be much fair to give the payments before the published article, not weeks, months after the publication.
saner defaults, easier configurability (esp. mouse/keyboard, where the documentation can be less-than-clear; and imported config files, where the path doesn't always resolve cleanly), user-friendly documentation available in multiple forms (Alacritty has declared they will never do this: manpage and website only!), lack of dismissive attitude from devs (in addition to manpage stubbornness? no to "smart copy", no "example config", no "reset and clear scrollback" which was a 6-line ready-to-go PR, no "confirm quit" when tasks are active or even when the user prefers it), better integrated with GTK libraries and GNOME extensions (no strange Alt+Tab popup behavior, unresolved IBus weirdness), good proof of concept for an alternative new-ish programming language, Alacritty is generally not faster or leaner or bug-free compared to some other terminals: every now and then I would open top and alacritty would be at 8 or 9 percent while just being open in the background (and with reasonably high physical memory usage; just because my machine has the RAM doesn't mean I want the OS to allocate it to over-hungry Rust utilities)

I can think of a dozen excellent reasons to stop using Alacritty (and not in favor of Kitty) and I did because of some of them.

Uh, yes? Win32 is also largely orthogonal to NTDLL. Doesn't mean one has to love all choices made by Win32.
This doesn't track (my) reality and I want to signal to others that this type of development is perfectly viable.

I have a normal job using go + angular/react, lots of databases (postgres) and lots of bare-metal OS shenanigans. I use Vim with 2 plugins. One fuzzy file finder and one for integrating with go.

I've used the JetBrains products daily for many years. These are very slick and I basically regard them as works of art, but I ultimately don't need them (anymore?).

It took many years to get the vim movements into the core of my being and this was indeed quite an investment, but my hands usually move the code now. Sometimes I can just watch them shifting blocks around as I'm barely conscious anymore of the actual physical movements themselves. This sounds like satire I'm sure, but I'm dead serious. This is actually a thing that exists. Not fundamentally different from being unconscious of the key presses when touch typing.

Once you get to this level of familiarity with vim, the shell and the entire Linux or BSD ecosystem things really start to fly and the need for an IDE quickly fades into the background. It is at that point that "why do you need an IDE?" because a serious question.

(Of course this is all moot if you are embedded in a highly specialized ecosystem with its own tools and ways of doing things.)
Use template literals and an extension, like those for lit-html - full syntax highlighting. No compiling necessary.
> has a great ecosystem

A great ecosystem is one where there is good 1 library to do a thing and you just pick that one.

A bad ecosystem is one where there are 25 libraries to do some things and 0 to do some other things, and none of the 25 libraries are very good.
They need arbitrary criteria on which to assess that money goes to the “right” group of people. Competitive awards already had a lot of arbitrary factors, this is yet another person to add to this, with a uniquely political perspective. Also if they don’t have to award the money it is likely they don’t.
You might be kind of young, so there was this time when "Facebook for health" and "amazon for X" were used as legitimate pitch items as a way to frame the potential of whatever CRUD app someone was selling as a billion dollar visionary idea.

Basically, if you know how to use a computer, you can use Ollama (almost). You can't say the same thing about llama.cpp. Not everyone knows how to build from source, or even what "build" means.
The way Ollama has basically been laundering llama.cpp’s features as its own felt dodgy, this appears to confirm there’s something underhanded going on.
This is great, I did not know about RamaLama and I'll be using and recommending that in future and if I see people using Ollama in instructions I'll recommend they move to RamaLama in the future. Cheers.

> How do you audit that the issuer is printing coins backed 1-to-1 by USD reserves?

You’re asking the wrong question, since DAI isn’t backed 1:1 by USD reserves like fiat-backed stablecoins (e.g., USDC). It’s a decentralized crypto-collateralized stablecoin—it’s backed by a variety of assets, including cryptocurrencies and real-world assets, with mechanisms to ensure over-collateralization.

Could it be that supporting multiple platforms open up more support tickets and adds more work to keep the software working on those new platforms?

As someone who built apps for Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS and Android, it is not trivial to ensure your new features or updates work on all platforms, and you have to deal with deprecations.
