Relatedly: unethical researchers could run it on their own work before submitting. It could massively raise the plausibility of fraudulent papers.

I hope your version of the world wins out. I’m still trying to figure out what a post-trust future looks like.
Dunno if this has changed, but it used to be this way in the US at basically any gas station in a ruralish area by a highway (in other words - stops with truckers), and you'd just have row after row of porn mags. The only 'censorship' is that they tended to be in racks that covered up about 3/5th of their height, so you could see the title and a bit more, but generally anything explicit would be in the lower 3/5th that you could only see if you picked it up.

Well, they are both series, but the Discworld books have a bunch of recurring characters, and are basically comedic, whereas the Culture books do not, though Special Circumstances agent Diziet Sma pops up a few times. And the Culture books are much darker - the Culture is very morally ambiguous.

Discworld is a very funny place - I'm sure you would enjoy it.
Hi, Zhou From Mooncake labs here.

Love your work on PeerDB and it's inspiring the evolvement of pg_mooncake (logical replication will be the killing feature for V2)

The core idea of mooncake is to built upon open columnar format + substitutable vectorized engine, while natively integrate with Postgres:

1. For small devs, we allow the whole stack to be embedded as a Postgres extension for ease of use

2. For enterprise, our stack is also purpose-built stack similar to PeerDB + ClickHouse, not a more generalized approach

We allow a gradual transition from 1 to 2.
I always found Pratchett's novels to be amazing sources of humor and creativity. I'm glad I'm not alone on that one.

I know movie theaters are different from video rental stores - but I once got carded on a date at age 16, to see the movie Johnny Pneumonic. It was rated R. Still had one more year to go. It was rather embarrassing.

I still have not watched Johnny Pneumonic.
Privacy Passes for adults where age verification is needed would be an interesting solution. The government hands you as many tokens as you’d like to access websites as an “adult”. Defaulting to getting tokens so that it isn’t only people accessing websites for only adults which are grabbing tokens. I’m know this is a newer project but Kagi implemented this as a way to completely decouple users from their searches, when the user would like to be fully anonymous.

Does bitwarden when importing support all data types of 1p ie file attachments and various fields of various entry types?
We're holding it differently.

My phone doesn't have my main password safe. I don't trust that thing. If a stupid app decides to log me out, I can't login until I'm back home. I never created an account "on the go", but I had to do a password reset once. I will use a standard password until I'm back and change it to a randomly created one.
I can't even login to my bank without a special token device. I don't have that with me either.

A different life is possible. That's all I'm saying.

I said nothing that proves I don't or didn't think about games. That is pure fabricated assumption.

It is a contrived exception because you have to pick a special video game and a special book to make it work, and the example will not hold when picking 100 books at random and 100 games at random, and that's even granting that the cherry picked example even holds, which I actually deny.
I put ollama on a docker container, at first with no internet access, and then by using opensnitch to keep an eye on this. You can probably put rlama on another container and do the same thing.

Note that there are threat profiles for which this is not enough security.
The largest problems with most publications (in epi and in my opinion at least) is study design. Unfortunately, faulty study design or things like data cleaning is qualitative, nuanced, and difficult to catch with AI unless it has access to the source data.
I consider a panic to be equivalent to a segfault. It is a bug, either in the library itself, or unproper usage, and the system just stopped you from doing further damage. The only reasonable thing to do in this case is to fix the bug.

Imagine you are catching the exception. What are you going to do next? From now on, anything can break, and how do you hope recovering if you couldn't do it right in the first place (that's what caused the panic)? You can have a panic handler, in the same way that you can trap SIGSEGV, for some debugging, but that's about it. If a crash is really problematic, use some process wrapper, and maybe a watchdog. Libraries don't work like that for performance and flexibility reasons, they share address space, but the downside is that if they crash, they take everything else with it.
The price of bananas are artificially low anyway, so increasing delivery efficiency will make the same prices less artificial.
> A better solution (and, as far as I can tell, what every other RAG does) is to split the document into chunks that can actually fit the context of the embedding model, and then retrieve those chunks -- ideally with metadata about which part of the document it's from.

Books have author provided logical chunking in chapters. You can further split/summarize smaller sections and then do a hierarchical search (naive chunking kind of sucks from my experience)
Unless you can provide a proof, it remains conjecture.

As a researcher I say it is a good thing. Provided it gives a small number of errors that are easy to check, it is a no-brainer. I would say it is more valuable for authors though to spot obvious issues.
I don't think it will drastically change the research, but is an improvement over a spell check or running grammarly.
Index-backed point look-ups are not the problem for analytical queries, but rather minimizing disk I/O for large scans with high column or predicate selectivity.

Once you've optimized for the more obvious filters like timestamp and primary key, like using partitions to avoid using indexes in the first place, you're left with the situation where you need to aggregate over many gigabytes of data and an index doesn't help since your query is probably going to touch every page within the filtered partitions.

You can solve some of these problems in Postgres, like partitioning, but now you're stuck with random I/O within each page to perform non-SIMD aggregations in a loop. This approach has a ceiling that other implementations like ClickHouse do not.
Seriously I started reading that comment expecting to find out the lander only had two legs or something.

Depends where. Getting serious about Discworld would make you think thinking something makes it real. Which is a different set of crazy.
Spot the American. Not everyone has such an inherently negative view of "the state"
It's comparing the number of seizures. Customs is constantly seizing food that wasn't eaten during a voyage, and as long as a traveler doesn't try to hide it there is no crime. Comparing that to knowingly smuggling for commercial activity is quite disingenuous.

Labelling something a "talking point" is dangerous and only suits to dilute context employing a fallacy in an argument unfortunately.

Ok let's remove rhetoric.

There is a disagreement which has turned into a shooting match or armed conflict. People are dying and there's destruction going on.

We want to resolve this.

That involves people sitting down and not shouting or name calling but talking.
Resolution involves compromise, compromise brings peace.

This is ignoring the fact that one player is much bigger than the other, who is right or wrong, but simply trying to move forwards.

Unfortunately the point that the tanks were knocked out by Ukraine within the opening hours on Ukrainian soil is a "Russian talking point". Kiev was clearly armed with Western anti tank weapony beyond their means and arguably beyond their financial ability to pay for (arguably).

A Western talking point is that Russia is much bigger, a known bully and could have worked to resolve this. Yes they could. But the other party involved was sitting there claiming they're a bully and are "just going to attack no matter what"... It's sad but the response is really calculable at that point.

Russia did not send it's high class latest tanks for the same reason we aren't seeing the latest and greatest American vehicles holding the line in a shooting war, that is a different level of aggression that would have different consequences. That is closer to a blitzkrieg and so was likely not the point of the engagement. (From the perspective of a military analyst position).

Russia has hit civilians with missiles yes. Again you're taking what I have said and extending it to make claims I am not making. Please stop this it gets old.

Israel hits civilian targets, not casualties, _targets_, and the world sits in silence this is a concerning reality.

The fighting in Ukraine is over Ukrainian soil so yes most of the casualties are Ukranian. This is not saying this is justified or correct again, this is not saying they should be Russian, this is saying water is wet and the survival rate of CV19 for non at risk groups was >99%>> these are all, uncomfortable for some, facts.

Again Russia could hit much harder and be more deadly. I hope for all that is sensible they don't, but they're capability compared to Ukraine is a different league. Like it or dislike it they are obviously showing restraint of a kind by not carpet bombing the whole country and moving the Russian border to Poland.

Again, does this make what they've done correct, or nice or good or defensible. No.

Again understanding a position is not defending it it's understanding context that helps understand the problem which helps conversations and candidly helps peace.

Not a taking point. Peace.
> I'm assuming a human (paper author, journal editor, peer reviewer, etc) is reviewing the errors these tools are identifying.

This made me laugh so hard that I was almost crying.

For a specific journal, editor, or reviewer, maybe. For most journals, editors, or reviewers… I would bet money against it.
I don't understand most of the comments on this thread. They must not know about the built in restore points, git commits and diff, system prompts, and cursor rules.

Yes, these models are merely approximations, but things aren't just blindly bad as it these comments make it seem.

Edit: Yes, Sonnet 3.7 is eager, but I'd have to assume is designed that way. Yes, sometimes Sonnet ignores my system prompt. Again, these things are merely approximations that map from tokens to tokens. They are not reasoning or intelligent.

>> Is this just shifting complexity from JS to HTML?

> Very well said. This is the problem.

It is a problem. Counterintuitively, it is also a solution.

Lifting some complexity out of JS and into HTML solves some problems. Lifting all complexity out of JS and into HTML creates new problems.

For example, I have a custom web-component `<remote-fragment remote-src='...'>`. This "shifts" the complexity of client side includes from "needing a whole build-step with a JS framework" into directly writing a plain html file in notepad that can have client-side includes for headers, footers, etc.

This results in less overall complexity in the page as a whole.

Shifting the "for" loop and "if" conditionals from JS to HTML, OTOH, results in more overall complexity in the page as a whole.
Zhou from mooncake labs here.

Mooncake is built upon open-table formats and substitutable query engines. So it don't need to be just a postgres extension.

PG_mooncake will stay open-source under MIT, for small devs where everything fits in their postgres, we hope everyone to enjoy the !

And we would love to help companies outgrown postgres to transition into the modern stack with postgres + mooncake potentially outside pg + iceberg/delta.

It might be interesting to watch the jokes, interactions, and people you don’t see every day. Current implementation is a google device changing photos every minute.
> I picked up Equal Rites soon after it came out when I was eighteen

I read Colour of Magic when I was 13 I think. It might have been a year or two later; a friend's mother had heard the Radio 4 "Woman's Hour" reading of Equal Rites and recommended them to me as she knew I liked Douglas Adams.

Adams and Pratchett had this in common - they had sufficient layers of jokes in them that they could appeal to both me in my early teens, and a friend's mother in her 40s (roughly). I missed a huge number of gags on the first read through. I like to re-read familiar books, though, and I used to get a few more each time through.

Until I read the APF there were still a bunch of historical gags or similar that I was missing by a country mile! I'm sure there are plenty more that have still gone over my head.

I honestly think that Pratchett was a better writer than Wodehouse, even though that's practically heresy for a Brit.
"YesNoError is planning to let holders of its cryptocurrency dictate which papers get scrutinized first."

Sigh.
because the 'microsoft kinect' itself was not a success, because microsoft did a poor job of capitalizing on it and let it die on the vine.
Just consider it being a additional mean reviewer who most likely is wrong. There is still value in debunking their false claims.
They both thought they were right but only one knee they were doing good. I cannot believe any Nazi thought they were actually "good", I would understand if they thought their action were needed but definitely killing millions of non-combatants cannot be seen as good; in the right light it can be seen as non-evil given the circumstances.
Eventually the unethical researchers will have to make actual research to make their papers pass. Mission fucking accomplished https://xkcd.com/810/
You are acting like it was obvious that machine learning was the future, but this person was just stubborn. I don't think that was necessarily the case in the early 2010s and skepticism was warranted. If you see results and ignore them, sure that is a problem. But it wasn't until ML vision results really started dominating conferences such as CVPR that it became clear. It's all a tradeoff of exploration/exploitation.
Your phone also has the recovery key. Having a copy on your person does lessen the chance of losing all your copies at once.
The age you picked here makes your argument obviously right. But what age _should_ people get a phone and be able to use it unsupervised? I don’t think it’s reasonable that it be 21 or 18, even 16 feels quite puritanical.
Konqueror has always been clunky as hell in my opinion. It was like an open source version of Internet Explorer except with tabs. I thought people would've realised mixing files and web pages in one single program was a mistake somewhere around 2000, but I guess it stuck for a while.

Ubuntu still has Konqueror in its repos, though. You can still download it if you want to go back to the early 2000s UI. I think they're using Chromium as a render engine now?
EDIT: nope, they use KHTML and KDEWebKit.

> Then the KDE 4 enshittification came and they had to have a separate file manager with half the features

That sounds rather entitled. As if they're doing it just to spite you, or because they need to maximise shareholder value. There are plenty of services that got enshittified because they saw chances to earn more money over their users' backs, but most people using that word just want to complain that the thing they got for free (especially open source stuff) or for a price that will obviously never cover the basic service costs (Youtube, all kinds of hosting, various streaming services, every AI product I know) now doesn't work like it used to, or tries to seek funding to continue existing.

Clearly the team decided it was better this way, and thanks to the power of open source, everyone could've disagreed and forked KDE 3.5 to stick to the old design.
Is this common? Maybe that's one of the reasons that people push for RTO, they can't work alone?
In LotR, good did indeed destroy evil (or rather its boss) by destroying the one ring.

> Increasing the yield of a crop, such as wheat, for a given area will reduce the area required to achieve the same total yield. However, increasing efficiency may make it more profitable to grow wheat and lead farmers to convert land to the production of wheat, thereby increasing land use instead.

Off topic, if we apply this to AI, in theory we could work less, with AI making us more efficient and allowing us to achieve the same results. But because we are humans, we are going to value our work less, and ask ourselves to work more.
I don’t think YouTube is the solution. It took me 1 year plus to recover and the iPad part was take home work. Much more intensive in person.
It's also notably light on the "prosaic" aspects. It just says that elves "dwelt" here and made a kingdom there. But as GRRM said: what was Aragorn's tax policy?
Both sound great, I’ll probably read both and decide which series to cover first. Thanks!
When parameter names are meaningless for the final result

def abs_days_difference(date1, date2, /):
# note that swapping passed params will yield the same result

delta = abs((date2 - date1).days)
return delta

d1 = date(2023, 1, 1)
d2 = date(2024, 1, 15)
abs_days_difference(d1,d2)==abs_days_difference(d2,d1)

The function returns the absolute diff in the number of days, so date1, date2 are meaningless variable names. It looks like then introduce an order(could #1 be the earlier date, while #2 be the later one?). If you don't get users any options it is clear that the order is meaningless

Compare with

def day_difference(earlier_date, later_date):

delta = (later_date - earlier_date).days
return delta

Note that now

d1 = date(2023, 1, 1)
d2 = date(2024, 1, 15)
day_difference(d1,d2)!=day_difference(d2,d1)

If you function signature is day_difference(date1, date2,*) you have to specify params as kwargs only, removing the confusion:

d1 = date(2023, 1, 1)
d2 = date(2024, 1, 15)
#this now doesn't work
day_difference(d1,d2)
# this works and is much clearer for caller
day_difference(earlier_date=d1,later_date=d2)
Sadly, the hardest part of running local models with tools like Ollama appears to be longer context prompts.

Models that respond really quickly to a short sentence prompt need vastly more RAM and CPU/GPU time for significantly longer inputs. I'm finding this really damages their utility for me.
Windows is only worse if you don't consider the freedom of choosing the hardware it runs on and its ability to be modified to run as you see fit.

Apple is really losing the plot because they really need their software to be good to sell their hardware.
Microsoft doesn't even have to care that much because there is not a relevant alternative coming out any time soon (as the various Linux failures have shown), but at least you don't have to give them a lot of money (in fact as close to zero as possible if you really want to).
I never heard about those ... and none of them makes Musk pedo comments better. Or current nazi salutes better.

The UK had longer wavelength radar on aircraft before the US entered the war, the biplane attack planes flying off carriers looked old-fashioned but they could find their targets at night and land safely again.
