Russia's stated intention is to destroy the Ukrainian nation and to erase Ukrainian identity. Putin believes Ukraine is not a real country and Ukrainians are not a real people:

https://www.businessinsider.com/putin-denies-reviving-russia...

Putin believed he could flip Ukraine in three days. Three years later Ukraine is still explaining to him that he is wrong.

Ukraine is fighting an existential war of independence. And for three years, despite having a larger population and a larger military, Russia has failed to wipe Ukraine off the map.

America is making the wrong choice in submitting to Russian aggression and in becoming a Russian ally. It's grubby stuff.

"Shallow geothermal for building heat works fine, but it takes a lot of drilling just to get some heat."

From my understanding, this is all the original comment says about shallow geothermal. Correct me if I am misunderstanding.

Moreover, I do not see the quote: "The more than 1 gigawatt of geothermal power currently produced globally — from California to Iceland to the Philippines — relies nearly exclusively on such natural outpourings of the earth’s heat" anywhere.

Are we referring to the same comment, or am I misunderstanding something?
Watch _the whole_ press conference, the entire 53 minutes, not the carefully selected morsels that CNN prepared for you in order to mislead. Zelensky failed to read the room, and 23 minutes or so into the conversation he started to self-immolate, something Trump and Vance gladly helped him with.
So isn't this a good thing? The comments on here are more overwrought than rational and disinterested...
You really can distill a model to a smaller one just by training on the first model's behavior.

The first model has a much harder problem. It must figure out a way to iron out the differences between all the different models (i.e. multiple humans, or noise in the dataset) it is trained on, to come up with its single viewpoint of relationships. It must then be tuned to optimally fit its purpose, instead of simply operating like a (composite) rando human.

The second model then has these advantages:

1. Trained on a single model, whose behavior comes out of consistent learned relationships, as apposed to many inconsistent models with noise (lots of different humans operating differently at any given time for reasons beyond what the data can show).

2. Trained on post-tuned model behavior directly. One-step training is a considerably simpler problem than two-step. It doesn't learning anything it will need to unlearn or modify.

3. These simplifications both reduce the necessary size of the second model.

And with these combined advantages (a simpler more consistent single-system to model, smaller size, and fewer training steps), it can be trained much faster.

There, of course, can be disadvantages. The distilled model may not be as versatile, if the data used to prompt the original model isn't as diverse as the first models data. So prompt data for training still matters.
We're super interested in working on this (and melody conditioning) and even have some of the code written to generate the training data, but we want our base model to get a bit better before this becomes our main focus. Check back in a few months!

Roboflow is the fastest way to use computer vision in production. We help developers give their software the sense of sight. Our end-to-end platform [1] provides tooling for image collection, annotation, dataset exploration and curation, training, and deployment.

Over 1 million engineers (including engineers from 2/3 Fortune 100 companies) build with Roboflow. We now host the largest collection of open source computer vision datasets and pre-trained models [2]. We are pushing forward the CV ecosystem with open source projects like Autodistill [3] and Supervision [4]. And we've built one of the most comprehensive resources for software engineers to learn to use computer vision with our popular blog [5] and YouTube channel [6].

We have several openings available but are primarily looking for strong technical generalists who want to help us democratize computer vision and like to wear many hats and have an outsized impact. Our engineering culture is built on a foundation of autonomy & we don't consider an engineer fully ramped until they can "choose their own loss function". At Roboflow, engineers aren't just responsible for building things but also for helping us figure out what we should build next. We're builders & problem solvers; not just coders. (For this reason we also especially love hiring past and future founders.)

We're currently hiring for full-stack engineers to help build our product, field engineers that work directly with our customers to solve their business needs with computer vision, and several technical roles on the sales team.

We just raised our Series B round, led by GV. With this round, we will continue building the open source tools, platform, and community so developers and enterprises can deploy computer vision applications to production. [7]

> Putin will find it much easier to wage war in Europe if Trump pulls out and takes the USA into isolationism (so abandoning the western democracies). And he will find it much easier to do this if he starts before Europe has a chance to re-arm.

It still does not explain how he is supposed to do that while he is bogged down in Ukraine.

You answer doe not provide any shred of evidence that is what his plans are. You are just speculating.

Opening multiple fronts in a war when you are not making progress does not make any sense. Putin is probably not the sharpest tool in the shed but I am pretty sure that even he knows that.

Finally, France and the UK both have nukes and are the allies of the Baltic states so an attack is highly unlikely unless the MAD doctrine is broken.

> Except for privileged commie bosses everyone poor.

By modern standards dirt poor, but by historic standards it becomes more nuanced economically if not socially. Most of the world was just shockingly poor until very recently.

As to equality the economy isn’t just the legal economy. A cop accepts a bribe is making more than a clean cop and greasing the wheels of bureaucracy was really common as was a rather extensive black market fed by production being diverted etc. It’s quite consistent how effectively people learn to leverage what they have to get what they want.

> Do you have examples where equal taxation helps.

You can look at tax rates vs long term GDP growth and see trends but economic growth isn’t clear cut. The best example is cases where tax breaks for the wealthy has been harmful is the UK which is still doing alright but had massive advantages from it’s early industrialization and colonies that it quite effectively squandered.

It's insane to think Firefox would ever have gone this route? How disconnected is management? The move would be suicide! A major reason people use Firefox is because of privacy.

It's a shame too because they had the opportunity to double down on privacy. What with Apple caving to governments.

I think what is disappointing about this post is that it seems to be an attempt to categorize human behavior so that you can create a treatment for that behavior to conform that behavior to your personal standard. But people are people, the core function of any leader should be first to understand their goals and values so that they are not challenged when other people express their goals and values. Then it is to figure out how to align everyone's goals and values together towards a common goal. It isn't to have some formulaic, cog-in-a-machine approach to workers. Especially not technical ones.
I don't see how the commenter is 'brainwashed'.

If they are independent then they won't need to rely on being propped up by American taxpayers to survive. Because if they did, they'd be dependent not independent.
Yeah— I hate coming across a doc that’s less like a technical reference, or even a tutorial, and more like a treatise on the philosophy behind their technical decisions. I know it’s a bit controversial, but I find Python’s docs like that. They’re very thorough and great for reading about how the Python interpreter does things, and why, but if you need to quickly reference something about a function or a quick reminder about syntax you infrequently use, they’re miles behind MDN’s JavaScript docs, any of the .NET language docs I’ve used, Elixir’s, and even PHP (though the lack of versioning when I used it seemed dangerous).
Russians could invade and while it is most likely that after a long war they'd be pushed back, they'd still leave ruins.

Also, we don't have unified army. So as painful as it is, it is most likely Baltic states would have to fend of with their military (and due to population, well, they can't - even if they are bringing conscription back), maybe Poland and Finland. Maybe.
And then you'd have to coordinate what to do next between all national militaries.

And with whose weapons and support do you think they managed to do that? Not to mention the US had been helping to train the Ukrainian army since 2014.

Anyone who has paid attention to the Ukraine war this far already understands what past, present, and future assurances of military support mean for deterrence.

If the key thing is to avoid China getting access to TSMC plants, I'm sure there are ways to do it without risking US troops. The West would have to live with inferior Intel nodes for a while, but it would be better than anything China could produce.

> The idea that the US protects Taiwan from a possible Chinese invasion over chips is one of those things that sounds believable but really isn't going to happen.

I recently got (second-hand) one Taiwanese business perspective on this.

Background: A friend of mine runs an SME in Europe and one of their key suppliers is in Taiwan. Friend visits Taiwan regularly to maintain the relationship. The following conversation happened around a year ago.

My friend gets talking [in private, off the record, after a drink or three] to one of the Taiwanese managers, and the topic turns to China and the invasion scenario. My friend asked if the Taiwanese business had put any thought into what might happen (thinking maybe they've explored the business continuity angles).

The Taiwanese guy basically shrugged, and said that if the Chinese were to launch an invasion, "Taiwan is completely * * * *ed", there's nothing the US or anyone else could or would do to be able to prevent that. He apparently didn't seem up tight about, more resigned. No interest in trying to plan any kind of response, because they feel they'd be hit with overwhelming force and would be completely on their own for long enough that it would all be over.

My friend was and still is concerned about his business continuity, with his key supplier potentially going offline, so is quietly exploring his options.
It's... not that easy. And if he fails at it, he risks a lot - most likely getting thrown into army as a deserter and most likely sent to the equivalent of penal units.

(EDIT: Unless they're a woman/nb, in which case yeah - please try to do so because it will be way easier for you)
I honestly would prefer moving there but it's pretty hard to attain citizenship. I believe the US is going to collapse and potentially balkanize in the coming years and don't want to witness it firsthand.

Regarding dragging, macOS also has an "accessibility" option to drag with three fingers. (It used to be a regular trackpad setting.)

It is a rather obscure feature, and yet it has such a dedicated following (me included) that a re-implementation of it was recently merged into libinput. The downside is that tap-and-drag is disabled when three-finger dragging is enabled, which makes it a bit harder to go back and forth across operating systems.
I don't think they convert energy into matter directly as you suggest; they have substance A which they convert into energy and then convert than into substance B. They're not using energy as input and they're maintaining the total amount of energy/matter. At least that's the impression given in the early show; I'm sure they went of the rails at some point.

In any case, if we want to discuss a realistic implementation of this (which is probably at least a century away), we'd likely use some form of nanotechnology to recompose waste into food. But again, without "creating" matter, simply rearranging it.
Yes, and that's why democracy is honestly pretty terrible, despite all the championing it gets its still a tyranny of the majority. It can only really function with a well intentioned and educated population, and half or more of the US population is anything but.
It’s not so much of a problem due to the average daily drive being a fraction of range. So long as you can charge at home, city life is fine for electric cars.
Democracy works proportionally to the good implementation of sub-systems that maximize the quality of decisions (e.g. checks and balances, election of the electors, education etc.).

Otherwise, it is not a value per se: that would be a "tyranny of the majority".
Depending on what they get from China in return, it might not be as absurd as you think. We're not talking direct participation here after all - China has more than enough people. Just some "lethal aid" if e.g. artillery stocks start running low. Another clever and relatively cheap way to extend us would be to stir up trouble where our troops are stationed in the Middle East, for example. This trouble could also use the "lethal aid" from third parties, who would not be directly involved in any fighting.

If I remember correctly, the original actor implementation from scala used exceptions for control flow internally. Blocking on input queues would have blocked a whole thread which doesn't scale for a paradigm which should allow you to run very large numbers of actors. So the exception was used to implement something like light threads. Luckily go solves this problem with go-routines internally.
Optics. Mozilla bungled the optics, then in their reaction, bungled it some more! They do not look good here. We respond to looks.

In objective reality it's a bit of much ado about nothing, but in today's world it's optics and perception that rules. It's subjective.

As another comment says it takes forever to gain trust and a moment to lose it all. Trust is subjective.

It's a fantastic idea and I love the concept of user assembly and repair of household appliances.

I think the author has done something wonderful and thoughtful here.

However, I think a toaster is probably the least complex and least risky kitchen appliance. There are quite a few kitchen appliances that I would not feel comfortable using if I had assembled them myself. Anything with spinning blades for example. Also I don't think anyone should be assembling a flat pack microwave, where doing it wrong could end in radiation leakage.

But still, it's a great idea for less risky things. I look forward to open source hair dryers. Those things burn out in no time
