The result checkerboard pattern is the opposite (the NOT) of the target pattern. But this is not remarked upon. Is it too unimportant to mention or did I miss something?

Hey there, this page: https://rootly.com/humans-of-reliability

It's fine on Chrome and Firefox.
The "rapid unscheduled disassembly" bit is not cute. This was a malfunction that caused a giant explosion to rain smoldering debris across miles of earth (for the 2nd time), not some inconsequential thing to laugh off.

They taught me how to model and how to transfer models to pepakura. It's really amazing how everything was just in place and you could ask a person something and have the answer by the next day.

Reddit has shades of this, but it was never truly focused. The upvote system kills small discussions.
Can you say more? There's not much open source work in this domain, that I've been able to find.

I'm particularly interested in architecture variations, approaches to the classification head design and loss function, etc.
Wow! rustyline has intensive support for a lot of the actions and things the user can do. Though I wanted to provide a more restrictive yet powerful abstraction that’s my I chose a trait based approach. It provides the exact control needed on certain aspects of the shell while providing ample control because of the shared state.
Initially, I was planning to make the functions async, but I rather choose to pass the async runtime instead. It solves for 2 cool use-cases; 1 we can call block_on and manage an async task in the flow, or 2 queue in the action and consider pooling it when needed.
As a neophyte, I'm guessing the point is to allow the nutrient minerals/elements to dissolve but far more slowly so that if e.g. there is sharp rainfall after application it's not all lost. The paper says complete solubility took 6 days or more, which is persisting.

If the stuff is bioavailable but less prone to migration it's a massive upside: less applied for more benefit and less runoff contamination.

Making glasses does mean changing the fertiliser manufacturing process. I wonder if NPK mixes can be post processed? And what's the extra energy burdens?
I'm sure there's a use case that fits what you're describing, but I've never seen it. 100% of the time I've seen disappearing messages used in the wild, it's been for the benefit of both parties--even if one is a bit more diligent than the other about it.

It was a crash bug, but I'm not really sure the details (and it has been some years...). Even at the time, I wasn't personally involved in it, just heard about it through the grapevine.

But yes, my understanding is it was quite expensive and the publisher was none too pleased (:
Wall Street is turning its back on Elon Musk
This is a heist of taxpayer dollars. David Sacks owns many interests in firms that will benefit from this "Crypto Reserve".

He and Trump's cohorts will make billions off the Taxpayer all while the USA is running massive deficits. There wasn't any money to help Ukraine fight Russia or keep Veterans working, but there are 10s of billions to buy Crypto that adds absolutely no value to the American Economy or helps the American taxpayer.

Anyone who voted for these thieves should be ashamed of themselves....
? Limit the money supply? It just deflates (grows in value), right?
No my argument is that trying at a broad systemic level to make specific outcomes happen is susceptible to the information problem. Trying like the op suggested to automate away work is utopian and improbable at best. If you squeeze labor out of one kind of drudgery you have no way of predicting the results, and you’re certainly not going to end up with Star Trek.

To my minor aside, look at that shirt. You have to essentially glue the fabric into a board and all the robot can do is a rudimentary set of side seams and sleeves on the tshirt. There’s no finishing work on the collar or hem so it’s useless. That robot exists as a demo and is used precisely nowhere. You could in theory do this, but it makes no sense economically.

And yes I’m aware of Japanese strawberry picking robots. You’ve clearly misunderstood what I’m saying. These thing may be technically possible but they remain infeasible for other reasons.
True but on the way down, two out of 15 Raptors didn't fire. And of course the Raptor on the Starship failed too.
Depending on the tree and local conditions it can take tens or hundreds of years for them to decay. That’s why old growth forests take so long to restore, they require several generations of dead trees in different states of decay. This allows everything to fungi and insects get established.

They definitely shouldn’t have removed dead trees. Worst case scenario if they were ugly and someone politically powerful wanted them gone they should have been broken up or ground into large mulch.
And /v/. Basically, if it would attract a child, it does, and you stay away.

The issue is it's not a fun website. The creative spark is gone.
Show HN: SnapDrop – An AirDrop alternative that works on any moderm web browsers
Recently snapdrop.net and sharedrop.io had been acquired (hijacked) by LimeWire. The widely used local file sharing feature had become "upload files". This is really annoying, since I have trusted the sites for years. Before I noticed the hijack, I even accidentally uploaded several secret files to it.

To avoid others falling to the same trap as I was, I deployed this SnapDrop instance that is clean and free.

# SnapDrop Features

File sharing on your local network that works on all platforms.

A cross-platform AirDrop-like solution that works

Send images, documents or text via peer-to-peer connection to devices on the same local network.

Internet transfers

Join temporary public rooms to transfer files easily over the Internet.

Web app

Works on all devices with a modern web browser.

# SnapDrop Use Cases

- Send a file from your phone to your laptop

- Share photos in original quality with friends using Android and iOS

- Share private files peer-to-peer between Linux systems

I continue to be in awe of the lengths some people will go just to fling insults and shake out some salt. We're, what, ten layers deep? With all the context above, the best you have to contribute to the discussion are baseless accusations and ageist insults?

Your finite time would have been better spent on literally anything else, than actively seeking out a comment just to throw subjective, unsubstantiated shade around. C'mon, be better.

Does anyone know the correlation between our abilities to parse PDF's and the quality of our LLM's training datasets?

If a lot of scientific papers have been pdf's and hitherto had bad conversions to text/tokens, can we expect to see major gains in our training and therefore better outputs?
I think the mental peculiarity here only makes sense if you're viewing the two situations in isolation. If the retailer is selling the whole roll to customers and buys none themselves every time, their knowledge of how many winners have been sold is irrelevant because that's exactly how everyone expects the game to work and no one is leveraging insider information against anyone.

The problem with selling out the roll when winning tickets have already been sold only occurs in tandem with the retailer buying remaining tickets when only non-winners have been sold so far. These aren't separable situations.
It's beyond that. The CPU designers aren't designing for ACPI or to target the ARM PC-BSA (Base System Architecture for PCs).
Yeah, it’s disheartening that people often think my writing (most of it predates gpt3) is llm, and some of my favourite writers also fall under this wet blanket. LLMs just copy the most common writing style, so now if you write in a common way you are “llm”.

RIP Jay Miner who watched his unified memory daughters Agnus, Denise and Paula be slowly murdered by Jack Tramiel's vengeance against Irving Gould. [Why couldn't the shareholders have stormed their boardroom 180 days before the company ran out of cash, installed interim management who, in turn, would have brought back the megalomaniac Founder that would, until his dying breath, keep spreading their cash to the super brilliant geniuses that made all the magic chips happen and then turn the resulting empire over to ops people to make their workplace so uncomfortable they all retire early and live happily ever after on tropical islands and snowy mountain tops?]
Unlimited time and money? Sure, I would put just about everything that looks human made under ground. The planet would appear mostly uninhabited. The load on the electric grid would mostly vanish as underground temperature is mostly constant near 50F/9.9C and there would be more room for low profile non reflective hidden solar panels. Heating from 50F to whatever people want would be trivial with solar inductive heating, heat batteries, geothermal. Global warming and cooling could be mostly ignored. All the roads would be dozens of layers up and down based on their usage requirements, maintenance loops, locality, interstate, etc... The whole planet would be walkable, e-bikable, scooterable. Internet latency would drop everywhere. Dedicated high speed tubes would get people from anywhere to anywhere in no time.

Whats stopping me? Enough money to bribe everyone into going along with the plan.

Discord has a gradual onboarding process. If your IP isn't poisoned, and your browser looks pretty normal, you just have to enter a username and you're in with an "unclaimed account"

Project&Teams Management App
Hi ,

I’m working on a new app designed to help teams manage projects more efficiently.

It includes features like task assignment, team collaboration, Role-Based Access Control. My goal is to streamline team communication and simplify project workflows.

I’d love to hear your thoughts, suggestions, or any pain points you’ve experienced with similar tools. What features would you find most valuable?

Looking forward to your feedback!
Good thing the FAA acquiesced to another launch!

Onerous regulations and process are a huge part of the problem. I looked into building a small apartment complex with a local developer in the city. It was zoned well, but the entire surrounding neighborhood had dirt roads. After talking with the city planner we found out that:

1. We'd need to pay 5k get a price estimate for all of the permits we would need, and

2. That we would need to either pave a road along the property (which would immediately fall apart from erosion since it would be the only paved road for multiple blocks), or pay $400k for the right to not pave the road

At that point, we stopped even trying. There's no way to build affordable housing in a timeline manner in that city.
I think what people are intuitively asking is not what would neutron stars at their current stage of stellar evolution look like. It's, if you could look at it what would it look like.

Far in the future once neutron stars have cooled, what would they look like? If you shone light on it, would it absorb it? Reflect it? Etc

A lot of these are very close to stuff I have written. Not saying this piece did or didn't get a pass through an LLM, I have no idea, but it really makes me wonder how many people accuse me of using an LLM when it's just how I write.

I feel awful for anyone going to school now, or will be in the future. I probably would have been kicked out, seeing how easily people say "LLM" whenever they read some common phrasing, a particular word, structure of the writing, etc.
Slightly unrelated, but I once used Apple’s built-in OCR feature LiveText to copy a short string out of an image. It appeared to work, but I later realized it had copied “M” as U+041C (Cyrillic Capital Letter Em), causing a regex to fail to match. OCR giving identical characters is only good enough until it’s not.
Oh look, the people who've spent the past decade ranting and raving about "cancel culture" are perfectly happy to engage in it as long as their side is the one doing the canceling. Gosh, who could have predicted.

For context, I'm Invoke's CEO.

I'm not going to argue that they're not complicated tools - Invoke and Comfy are both actively used to push the boundaries of what can be achieved in professional generative media.

But I'd be curious to hear what issues you ran into with Invoke, and where you found issues with the community -- Or, are you generalizing across SD reddit?

We try to do a pretty good job keeping things welcome, and are nearing 100 videos of educational content to help folks learn how to use GenAI. Open to feedback on where we can promote more accessibility.
Are you sure you aren’t just falling into the “it’s all llm” trap? A lot of common writing styles are similar, and the most common ones are what LLMs imitate. I often am accused of llm writing. I don’t publish llm text because I think it is a social harm, so it’s pretty demoralising to have people call out my writing as “”llm slop”. OTOH, I have a few books published and people seem to find them handy, so there’s that.
The most interesting thing about diffusion LMs that tends to be missed, are their ability to edit early tokens.

We know that the early tokens in an autoregressive sequence disproportionately bias the outcome. I would go as far as to say this is some of the magic of reasoning models is they generate so much text they can kinda get around this.

However, diffusion seems like a much better way to solve this problem.
Cancel culture, but not even for something that the individual did… for the assumed actions of their a school they went to.
An oddity here (that I think Smullyan is often careful about when introducing his knight and knave puzzles) is that the goblins in the story appeared to agree with each other about the surrounding context (that there is one liar and one truthteller, that there is one door that should be taken, etc.). They didn't contradict each other about that!

Smullyan's liars normally lie about everything in every statement, so an official Smullyan liar would not agree that there is one liar and one truthteller, that there is one safe door and one unsafe door, and so on.

I just watched the original scene, and the two goblins seem to agree with each other about all of that stuff! How confusing.

Security/privacy yeah. I don't do business with Twitter/Facebook for the same reason. In the case of GitHub, if I want to contribute something, I am going to do it volitionally, knowing they will do whatever they want with it.

Creating an account just locks you in, when the alternative exists or existed before. SourceHut proves this is possible. Why not allow non-accounts to contribute?

Gaming was becoming less and less the domain of the tech-savvy crowd, strongly curbing the public's appetite for such host-it-yourself services. Teamspeak/Mumble were already dying at the hands of (inferior) free/easy chat platforms like Steam & Skype, so it's really no wonder that Discord was able to swoop in and clobber all of them by simply being free and featureful.
> I guess the investors selling NVIDIA's stock like crazy know nothing about jevons

I know you are trying to be sarcastic, but for the sake of argument let's assume that your question is genuine.

There are two types of investors and they both sell, but for different reasons:

1. Casual investors: They don't know much about investing, or Jevons paradox. They only watch the news, so they panic sell.

2. Institutional investors: They know all about Jevons paradox etc, but they also know that casual investors don't, so they sell on purpose so that they can buy the dip later.
I think you have it backwards, given that the stage which failed has 6 engines, and the stage that did its job and landed back on its own launch tower (inconceivable less than a decade ago) has 33 engines.

> (2) Since 2003, improper payments have totaled $2.7 trillion with a reported Federal Government-wide error rate of 5.42 percent in fiscal year 2023.

> (3) Improper payments between 2021-2023 have exceeded $750 billion and totaled more than the budget of the U.S. Army in 2023.

i want you to explain to me how i don't grasp how big these numbers are, some more. I want you to explain how 79.1 billion in fraud or improper payments is "0.5%", and that's ok, and explain how ten times that amount, in 20% of the time, is ok, too.

please.

Mistral OCR made multiple mistakes in extracting this [1] document. It is a two-page-long PDF in Arabic from the Saudi Central Bank. The following errors were observed:

- Referenced Vision 2030 as Vision 2.0.
- Failed to extract the table; instead, it hallucinated and extracted the text in a different format.
- Failed to extract the number and date of the circular.

I tested the same document with ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, and Gemini. Only Claude 3.7 extracted the complete document, while all others failed badly. You can read my analysis here [2].

>BTW I am Indian and we are not even in the race as country

Why are you surprised?

India was on a per capita basis poorer than sub-Saharan Africa until 2004.

The only reason India is no longer poorer than Africa is because the West (the IMF and World Bank) forced India to do structural reforms in 1991 that stopped the downward trajectory of the Indian economy since its 1947 independence.
