I would pay for it as an individual. Just things like going into code and spending 3 weeks reverse engineering everything is not ideal. Especially if it's something where the entire team has quit or been laid off. And lately the solution for that is just rewriting the damn thing lol.

How much we're willing to pay is a whole other question. I feel like this is the kind of thing that Cursor already does by itself but it's just not releasing a user-readable output of it.

It won't likely be a subscription thing, but one off payments per repo makes sense, and there should be some kind of satisfaction guarantee or say, charge to have the output in a human readable format.

Monorepos are also a pain. On the front end, they sometimes share design. On BE they may share databases. It would be cool to break it down into DDD-style domains if applicable or propose things like anti corruption layers. More often it's like a "pacific ocean meets atlantic ocean" kind of thing, where you can tell there's a difference in the way things are done, but it's not entirely clear where the border is. This would probably be worth a lot more.

To a much lesser extent, an architectural copilot would also make sense. On the front end, we have a lot of redundant components. Say a button might be PrimaryButton, but the same thing is GreenButton or FilledNoOutlineButton by other devs. We tried documenting this which just ended up being a waste of 1 week because nobody read the doc. It's worse with complex components like TwoButtonModal vs TwoButtonModalWithClose. And what happens is code is always built in parallel; people don't realize that the designer's new style applies to both teams so you get two people building the same components at the same time. Not a major problem, but I think this is worth a few cents every PR.

Ultimately it's hard to gauge. Like Copilot underdelivered, Cursor overdelivers, and yet both essentially do the same thing. I guess the amount we're willing to pay is just vibe-based.
>Providing HIV assistance while undermining political stability

You're taking that as a prior when in reality US FoPo prefers political stability after the Cold War. You need to get a grip here if you're seeing everything through the lens of dubious paranoia, if not just leftist resentment.

Apple can state all they want, but since the disclosure of PRISM, I will not believe anything they say. The general population will, however.
you can expect a country that is controlled by its people voting to be a bit schizo to some degree when it comes to treaties. surely, you cannot expect something that is meant to have large effects on domestic policy like the Paris climate accord to be stable in the US when there is a lot of difference of opinion domestically over it.

Though probably not the two main modern rivals, wind and solar, which are also cheaper (and lives and money are, at a very abstract level, interchangeable).

I've not seen numbers updated with the latest data, the old data had them basically drawn on death per TWh and in the time between that data being gathered solar and wind have gone from a rounding error even when combined to each individual predcited to generate more than nuclear next year, so double nuclear generation per year and still accelerating away from it.

The global economy is going towards winners and dinosaurs. Just watch the semiconductor industry. Eat or be eaten. There were much more smaller companies providing different parts 2 decades ago. NEC, Hitachi, Altium were eaten by Renesas. Intel history of acquisitions is very long. Every current major corporation has a massive list of acquisitions.

Basically the same story with food corporations. Dozen companies provide food for whole western world. Cars? Toyota, Stellantis and Volkswagen with their sub-brands provide cars.

Economy of scale is the thing. And it will kill Mittelstand. It’s already happening. Large purchasing power gives another price during negotiations. Same sales people will sell dozens of products instead of mittelstand’s speciality. You only need accounting once. As well as HR. The Mittelstand must be very highly specialized to be untouched by global mega corporations. There is also no life-work balance in the process when working with mega corporation. It will squeeze the resources out of Mittelstand just by the size difference. The Mittelstand I work for is already lost with all the EU paperwork providing reach, rohs, sustainability and battery Verordnung documents to the customers.
Neat idea! It would be helpful to have LLMs ranked from best to worst for a given GPU. Few other improvements I can think of:

- Use natural language for telling offloading requirements.

- Just year of the LLM launch of HF url can help if it’s an outdated LLM or a cutting edge LLM.

- VLMs/Embedding models are missing?

That’s certainly what it looks like. When I first tried the game, before getting a refund shortly after, my first thought was “wtf, did they accidentally ship an old build?”. The UI feels so u finished, lacking feedback and visual clarity.

It's great to see vLLM getting faster/better for DeepSeek. I tested vLLM vs SGLang a couple weeks ago and SGLang's DeepSeek support was much better/faster (on 2 x p5 H100 nodes). It's great that no one's standing still, I saw this recent AMD article that reported SGLang perf on MI300X has increased by 4X over the past couple weeks: https://rocm.blogs.amd.com/artificial-intelligence/DeepSeekR...

(w/ the extra memory V3/R1 fits on a single MI300X or H200 node)

It'll be interesting to see if either project can take advantage/get any benefits from this FlashMLA implementation.
Missed opportunity to colour countries by the similarity (phonetical) of the translations. Now as i understand all country colours are hardcoded.
IMO, that's not a feature that would set your engine apart enough from the existing ones. And if it were, the big ones could add that feature as well.

Thousand of man hours have gone into the development of the big commercial engines. You'd have to match that and then add your new feature on top in order to become a serious competitor.

What's the advantage of making your game open source? I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm a big free software fan but what do you think will come out of that?
How I used Tailscale to join two separate home networks into a single one
Hi everyone! I recently did a small project for myself where I joined together my home network and home network at my parents house where I spend a lot of time. I basically wanted the devices in both networks to be able to talk to each other as if they were in a single network.

I am in no way a specialist when it comes to networking, so please let me know if there is something I missed here or could do better

This one feels different. Musk and Trump are doing real damage to trust, US soft power and government institutions all of which have taken decades to build. They're trying to do things that could lead to pensioners having their income cut off, hundreds of thousands of people entering the job market suddenly, and whatever economic effects that brings. Then the actions actually leading to more deaths in Ukraine and emboldening Putin, and whatever that brings with it.

The main thing is that these are the kinds of actions that can't be reversed overnight if power flips. eg, You can't just rehire an entire department and have them operating effectively. We'll be feeling these things for years afterwards, possibly decades.

They're causing real damage, and it's intentional.
Sure, but its a leap in magnitude from being concerned with wearing something to tracking everything you wear.
What a strange take, there's plenty of successful Civ competitiors. Amplitude's Endless series, Old World, Age of Wonders, heck even Paradox series managed to capture a lot of what made Civ good.

You can use two integers, one that represents the entire number including decimals, and one that represents the precision, to know how many decimals are there. For example, you'd represent "123.45" as 12345 and 2. That's often how monetary amounts are stored in databases, to avoid a lot of common floating-point arithmetic pitfalls.
Presumably the author would like something that's handled by the kernel and not user space, so even a SIGKILL-ed parent process would trigger the reaping of the children.
You covered everything except the most important case: Cloudflare blocks innocent people trying to access websites protected by Cloudflare.

For instance they block me because I'm behind CGNAT and because some of the millions of machines also behind that CGNAT once did something unsavory.

I'm not a customer of Cloudflare, so I have no one to call, I just get blocked from endless websites or have to click a checkbox, solve puzzles and suffer other indignities because I'm using a reputable and popular ISP in my country.

Fuck Cloudflare. They're accelerating the utter shittiness of the web because of their indiscriminate solutions to web malfeasance, which are worse than the disease.
Startship is a huge deal in the industry. It does everything that the Space Shuttles used to, and a lot more besides. The focus on it is entirely justified AFAICT.
Asked 4o:

Translate into Shawnee: "All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights"

Translating a specific sentence like "All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights" into Shawnee can be challenging without expertise in the language or input from a fluent speaker, due to nuances in meaning and the language's polysynthetic nature. Furthermore, high-quality and detailed language resources or native speakers are often necessary for accurate translation, considering contextual and cultural factors.

If you need an accurate translation, it might be best to consult resources or individuals specializing in Shawnee, such as language preservation organizations or native speakers involved in language revitalization efforts. These individuals would have the nuanced understanding necessary to convey the meaning appropriately in Shawnee.

(And that sentence is from one of the most widely translated documents in existence. Unfortunately it's quite unlikely we'll get a Large LM for Shawnee.)
I've been a big fan of Humankind and haven't played Civ since I got it.
We don't even need that example. The example is in front of us. Take a smaller parameter model and ask it to do the same complex thing that a larger parameter model did. It will struggle.

Btw, I'm not saying it's just the number of parameters that matters.
Here a a few examples, linked in the article:

https://www.dcs.warwick.ac.uk/~czumaj/PUBLICATIONS/DRAFTS/Dr...

Searching in sorted lists is the first example, although they acknowledge that "the assumption that the input array is sorted is not natural in typical applications." They then give an non-trivial variant of this problem, where the sorted list is stored as a linked list, so that you cannot directly jump to some element at position i.

Another example for a sublinear algorithm they give is to check whether 2 convex polygons intersect, using the algorithm by Chazelle and Dobkin.
Framework will announce next generation products on Feb 25
You, however, described it with the words: "Watching him trounce the governor of Maine was funny af."

It's your error to treat it this way.
It is obvious that binary search leverages the property that the input is sorted in order to ignore part of the input, but it is less obvious to see it abstractly as an exotic specimen of sublinear exact algorithm rather than merely as a simple special case of search, and it is even less obvious to investigate what weaker (and hopefully cheaper to guarantee) input constraints allow sublinear search algorithms.
Customers can pick several levels of aggressiveness when it comes to blocking bots. Some of the more obscure browsers easily pass the "low" threshold but don't make it past the "high" threshold. Some older browsers like Palemoon seem to crash or break the JS Cloudflare serves but that seems to be a browser issue.

If your favorite website is blocking you, let them know. They can tweak a lot in their WAF settings. I don't think many websites care about obscure browsers, but it's something websites can control.
We've been trying to build more clean nuclear plants for decades, but its been ironically the self-proclaimed environmentalists who have been blocking it every step of the way. We could have had 0 carbon electricity production nation wide since the 1980's.
This sounds lovely. I am a spatial thinker so this is right up my alley.

How do you deal with different kinds of groupings and connections? For example, some things could be connected because they are “integrations”, or because they deal with notifications, or because they’re available only in the enterprise plan. Not all related things are related in the same way.
I've been sharpening my axe by working on a few different projects in the shape of of an online shop[0][1]. Products are a bit of a mishmash as a result of the different projects - To date, I've been farming succulents, 3d modeling/printing (flower pots/hobby crafts/etc), and learning Rust/Next.js for the back/front ends!

Time investment has been _massive_ so far, but I just hit the first $100+ profit month, and despite the distance from my normal dev salary, the positive reviews/feedback have been an incredible reward that drives the motivation to continue. I will also say that it is quite the humbling experience to ship physical products and the experience has given me a whole new appreciation for the things we have in this world.

Early days, but check it out :)

True. There is always the chance that you get lucky - case in point, Minecraft. If you read the old devlogs when Notch first started to develop the game, it's really interesting how quickly it started to generate genuine interest, if only among other indie game devs at first who frequented the same forum. But that's a one in a million strike of luck - hitting on a fresh idea and being able to implement it in a way that appeals to a sufficent market.

Like you say, just from raw statistics, if you're an indie dev, most likely you're going to fail.

I don't understand why Cloudflare allowed itself to be use like this and is heading to court instead of just refusing to accept LaLiga's requests. They could just request them to provide appropriate evidence and make them pay for the time Cloudflare staff would need to review the evidence

So, not none then.

> But your claim on that decoding is compute-bound is plainly wrong.

I did not say anything like that? What I said is that FlashAttention and arguably MLA will not make any significant gains in the inference time. And this is true.

Also, FWIW there are certainly model shapes that are compute-bound in the decode phase so saying that decoding is universally inherently bound by memory access is what is plain wrong, if I were to use your dictionary.
Formally I'm an undergraduate. Not in a hurry to graduate -- I take courses when they are interesting to me / relevant to my research / I happen to have the bandwidth.

I am already several years into my career and I have a spouse to support, so I'm ambivalent about formally attending graduate school -- at least anytime soon -- since that would introduce lots of time pressure and administrivia for little apparent benefit. My relationship with my supervisor is mostly informal

> But to be honest it's not as much of an issue as people make it out, in most areas you can get 250 Mbit downstream and 50 Mbit upstream through DSL, that is plenty for most home use cases, there's just not enough demand for higher speeds.

Ha ha ha! No.

The option we have in my neck of the woods is 4.5 Mbps/s, via DSL. Take it or leave it. And were are talking about BW, in a place where the average 100 m2 house is being sold for 500'000 €.

> (or let's say they are not willing to pay 50-100 € per month for it)

Good that the criminal prices of telecom providers are being mentioned. "We are cheap!" Vodafone was advertising lately on the radio. Yeah, for 50 € per month for a DSL connection with a 2 year contract. No, that's not cheap, that's extortion. And your advert is called gaslighting.

Fun story. In the previous village were I was working, the only way to get semi-fast internet was via Vodafone LTE (for a nominal fee, of course..). Then the region awarded a grant/bonus for the first company to bring glass fiber to the area. All at once, 3 different companies were scrambling and pulling glass fiber to try to be the first ones to provide coverage. They now have 3 different glass fiber providers there.
The name of your app reminds me of one I had started working on when I was out of employment: the app was going to send periodic reminders of stuff you've bookmarked/saved on various social media sites.

The difference should normally be judged based on the shared advantage. If two organisms share nutrients, the question of whether the relationship is symbiotic or parasitic relies on whether both organisms benefit overall, or only one.

Even if the orchid provides sugars to the fungus, you still have to compare the fungus to others that live independently of the orchid and check which is better off. The orchid is clearly better off, per the article - orchids which don't live in touch with these wood fungi are smaller and less successful. But are fungi which consume wood separately from the orchids worse off or better off than the ones that exchange nutrients with an orchid?

For example, if a tapeworm living in a human also provided some small advantage, say it killed off certain kinds of problematic bacteria, it would still be considered a parasite and not a symbiote: humans without a tapeworm live better than those with a tapeworm, overall, even if the tapeworm has some tiny beneficial effects beyond the nutrients it siphons off.
Quite right. My late father used to do free audiobook recordings for LibriVox¹ and while I know he enjoyed their forums, after he died we discovered a little clutch of hand written letters from people who had enjoyed his recordings. It warms my heart to know how pleased that would have made him and was one of the brighter moments when clearing out the family home.

These signs of appreciation are, themselves, truly appreciated.

I think the comments here about cloudflare aren't trying to justify what LaLiga is doing, just pointing out that cloudflare does the same equally wrong thing ultimately. If you've ever ended up with an IP cloudflare decided is suspect for one reason or another, have fun being stuck in endless captcha loops all day for something like 70% of the websites you visit, with no recourse
For what it's worth I think Cloudflare and a few other ultra-large CDNs should be considered an utility provider, given that it is very difficult to exist in the Internet without their protection - no matter if you're just running a damn blog or an online forum, you'll get hounded by hordes of automated scanners looking to exploit you the very second a 0day appears. And if it's an online forum, chances are high someone will be pissed off by some moderation action and just buy a DDoS to shoot you off the 'net.

(In the end I think governments should finally hunt down and eliminate abusive netizens, but waiting for that to happen is pointless)
A Firefox user agent with a Chrome Javascript engine and a Chrome TLS engine is suspicious. Any decent bot prevention mechanism will trigger on that.
