I think it should be possible to separate stereoisomers by crystallization, at least in some cases. You then have to sort through the crystals.
Trying to prevent food waste is silly. There is plenty of food where people are organized and no food where they are not. Agriculture needs stability, you need to be sure that after one year of work, you can reap the benefits of that work. This does not happens in places where any guy with an AK can come and steal your crop.
It's like a comedian (sightly obese) said: "my Mom said there are hungry children in Africa so I should finish my food. So I did. Hope that helped" (paraphrasing). The irony is that it really doesn't help. The shortage in food is caused by other problems.

Dude, just wrong. Last job, we moved .Net RabbitMQ job processor that was making a bunch of async web calls nightly would handle 50k+ messages from Windows to Linux, our job processing time was cut by 2/3. In fact, first few mornings, no one believe the execution time, thought it had silently failed and Dev team manually checked it it's work. Nope, it did its job properly with less RAM/CPU.

You can see some benchmarks here FROM 2017: https://robertoprevato.github.io/Comparing-Linux-hosted-to-W... where Linux is beating out Windows in Async web workloads. That's only gotten better since years have gone on.

In my personal experience dealing with .Net 6+ (Mostly 8 now), Linux destroys Windows in performance running .Net workloads hands down 95% of the time. This lines up with Microsoft .Net team advice, every time the topic comes up "Windows or Linux?" They say "Linux, it's easier to deal with and performance is better."
I think it is a tradeoff between "everybody can request age verification" and "only state-licensed parties can request age verification". I don't think everybody's ID card should tell anyone if the holder is adult or not, especially wirelessly

Hi John,

ICP: developers and teams that want to generate simple, extendable SDKs. Our goal is to bring a successful successor to the OpenAPI generator project. Most OpenAPI open source projects come and go. We want to offer a open source SDK generator suite that is dependable, yet simple.

Why: We met with many developers who want an open source successor to OA generator that generated readable code and can be extended very easily. We partnered with Trieve from YC W24 to build the Python SDK generator to start.

-2 main differences. Our goal is to bring a core open source solution across languages and to keep all the generated code human readable and easy to extend. We recognize there are projects in the space that work great. However, finding the best solution for each language is different and time consuming.

Edge: Open source first and community driven. Simpler cleaner code. Extendable by design.

There are solutions but each one has it limitations. We can generate an SDK that works, while they current paid solutions will say the OpenAPI doc is invalid. We can generate human readable code, they don't. We want to support all languages for free, paid solutions don't. Open source projects that solve one language are often abandoned or forgotten and are extremely hard to find. Then, you have to determine which one you will use for each language.

Hope that helps,

David, Co-founder at Borea
The phrase used by the author "because the CPU can't predict more than one branch per cycle" is misleading.

Most existing CPUs can execute at least 2 conditional jumps a.k.a. branches per clock cycle, if they are predicted as not taken.

Such CPUs can execute only one conditional jump per clock cycle when it is predicted as taken, which also means that in the same clock cycle one can speculatively execute only instructions that are beyond a single conditional jump that is predicted as taken.

So in most CPUs at least 2 conditional jumps can be predicted per clock cycle, but whether they can also be executed depends on the result of the prediction.

As mentioned in an endnote of the article, in the latest generation of CPUs from multiple companies, including AMD Zen 5, the ability to execute in a single clock cycle 2 branches predicted as taken has appeared (and the ability to speculatively execute instructions past the second taken branch).

Because of this difference between taken and not taken branches, it is always good for a compiler or for a human programmer to generate code such that all the conditional jumps (except those that terminate loops) are statically predicted as not taken. Both "if ... then ..." and "if ... then ... else ..." conditional statements have alternative implementations that can ensure that all conditional jumps are statically predicted as not taken. For "switch" a.k.a. "select" a.k.a. "case" instructions it is always possible to reorder the tested cases such that all the conditional jumps are statically predicted as not taken.

Unfortunately, in most programming languages it is not possible to provide a hint for the compiler on whether a tested condition is expected to be true or false. Such a hint could be easily provided in a programming language that has both "if" and "unless" conditional statements or expressions, where "if" could mean that the conditional statement is expected to be not executed and "unless" could mean that the conditional statement is expected to be executed (for the "else" or "otherwise" branch the expectation would be opposite).
This is one of those statements that is technically true but not particularly relevant. Obese people are almost never at a level of lean body mass that they would overall be at a good amount of muscle even for a healthy total weight, and rapid weight loss has consistently been shown in studies to reduce more lean body mass than slower weight loss.

Getting to the same level of additional weight from muscles as there is from fat is also incredibly difficult. The average 5'8 person not utilizing AAS would take years of dedicated training, dialed in diet and recovery, etc., to get to 200lb at 15% bodyfat. People get there much faster and much easier putting on fat.
When creating the site's landing page, I had to investigate where to find speed bumps in Munich. I couldn't remember any, but it turns out there's quite a few in the end. Probably not as popular as in other European countries, though. And there's rarely a signal.
Research suggests the left is less likely to resort to violence, and that in the USA there is “no difference between the level of violence perpetrated by right-wing and Islamist extremists”.

This was actually somewhat clever, but very dishonest. He used a link to the outside that is normally used solely for discussions between inmates and their lawyers; the catch is that on the other end was Tucker, not his lawyer.

So SBF kind of snuck the interviewer in under the guise of it being a legal meeting.

That’s why the prison got pissed.

For a Hail Mary, I get it. But it’s definitely either pardon or not, as a result. He’s not getting out on good behavior any time soon, lol.
That is incorrect. The right answer is absolutely if there is no uncertainty and then realizing there has never been a murder in all recorded history where the standard of no uncertainty is met to the level required on the timeline it takes to convict someone and to ban it.
AWS have a ridiculously unreasonable account verification process. Having sent everything they ask for I just keep getting the same big list of criteria without any more feedback on exactly what their issue is.

I hope your not relying on big tech / cloud providers who will suspend your account without warning and have a self hosted alternative.

Why will a financial institution accept a drivers licence, letter addressed to me and bank statements but AWS wont?

I'm so annoyed that I don't care if they don't let me in. It shows you exactly what AWS is really like and that they only serve huge international corporations.
There are some really good answers in this thread. But if Apple had backdoors they would ultimately be used and either through prosecutions which would make it obvious or reverse engineering which would be quickly discovered. This is slightly different to say AN0M phones that had a low IQ user base and wasn't actively researched by security people but the whole network was burned when they went for mass prosecution in jurisdictions where the evidence was admissible.

My father is suffering from increasingly bad short term memory. This has been a slow process that has taken many decades. My mom was worried about his memory 20 years ago. Now he lives alone and has nobody to help remind him of things.

He is highly functional, able to multiply two digit numbers in his head and run heavy equipment on his farm. But he'll ask you the same question, five minutes after he asked it the last time. He'll forget what neighbor just visited him the day before, or whether he called the gas company to refill his propane barrel.

I believe that a voice interactive LLM with memory could be extremely helpful to him and to other elderly people. He could use it as a daily log, telling it things that have occurred, and then interrogate it later. In truth, who among us could not benefit from such a system, even in our younger years?

This framework looks interesting to use for such a project. Are there any other people working on similar things?
In english, the word is almost always used to refer to "alteration of form or shape" away from the default form or shape.
Attempts have been made to replicate this effect, with limited success, through the use of a rubber duck:

https://rubberduckdebugging.com/

The general idea is to first try explaining your problem to the duck, which is thought to activate the same problem restructuring pathways. However, I've always found that a human makes for a much better rubber duck in practice. Something about the immediacy of the conversation helps my brain to stay on task and not get distracted partway through the explanation.
(OP here) I'm thinking of either using "speed bump" in English, or adding the typical European sign for speedbumps for clarity. For now, I'm using Wikipedia's word in the end...

Grok 3 says "For instance, in the Poem of Pentaur, a propagandistic account of the Battle of Kadesh, Ramses II is depicted as a heroic figure restoring order against the chaotic Hittite forces. While it doesn’t say “violence is necessary against Isfet” verbatim, the subtext is that decisive action, including violence, was justified to crush disorder and uphold Ma'at."

(It had earlier defined Ma'at as "order, balance, and justice")
In the not so far future we should have AIs that have read all the papers and other info in a field. They can then review any new paper as well as answering any questions in the field.

This then becomes the first sanity check for any paper author.

This should save a lot of time and effort, improve the quality of papers, and root out at least some fraud.

Don't worry, many problems will remain :)
I can confirm this. As soon as there is someone else near me, I become productive. When I am alone I have no big motivation to do anything.
The web was explicitly designed with no design. That's like, the whole point man. If you don't like it, there are literally billions of other pages for you to check out and even in this case, a convenient button for you to click to "vote" your displeasure.

>In theory, the attacker could then use the undocumented commands to scan, spoof, or otherwise attack any near by bluetooth devices. Perhaps this could even be achieved without gaining root on the device which is hosting the esp32.

It's charity. The US spent the equivalent of many trillions of current dollars on nuclear weapons and delivery systems, and those under the US nuclear umbrella didn't have to. Withdrawal of that umbrella will mean these countries will then have to pony up money to replace it.

What did the US receive in return for this? Gratitude isn't worth much.

> "voice interactive LLM with memory"

Our team has been working really hard on a low-latency voice integration that enables (open source) "advanced voice mode", but with long-term memory!

If you're interested definitely hop in our Discord to keep track of dev progress (you can also monitor our docs). It's all OSS of course, so you can use it with any model you want and run it all locally (your agent data stays on device).

Once available you can definitely use Letta for this usecase - basically provision a stateful Letta agent for your dad, with instructions / prompting that your dad has memory loss issues, and the agent should be proactive in recording memories (and potentially jogging your dad's memory too). All the memory/state will be stored in postgres, so you can expose it to other tools as well, eg could even collate the memories into a nextjs/mobile app where you dad can browse them.

What if the computer peeking and poking memory of its own Bluetooth adapter might be doing so with software running on top of the Web Bluetooth API? I sure hope that it isn't that bad, but if it was, it would still be eerily consistent with your description.

But let's ignore that web API worst case. Imagine that you have some semi-trusted software and because you don't want to take any risks, you run in nested VMs three layers deep. The software has some plausible excuse to require access to the Bluetooth (perhaps it's a beacon demo?) so you grant an exception. You're not happy with the result (the beacon demo does not work as promised?), you remove the software and you also reset all three VM layers for good measure. Gone for good, nice. Unfortunately, the guest the malware installed on the ESP when it had access is still there...

Yes, undocumented access to your own subdevices can be a really bad thing, in particular when persistence is in the picture.

The idea of crypto as a force for plurality is baffling. Crypto is just as controlled by the “sourcerers” of round world as state controlled fiat currency. Distributed ledgers make no difference here. It’s still just “chosen ones” projecting their power.
And the jab at “wokism” is pretty ironic, as the right has been making a very overt push for rendering culture into a grey goo, by quashing diversity.

I don’t actually believe that this is true if “academia” is defined as the set of reputable researchers from R1 schools and similar. If you define Academia as “anyone anywhere in the world who submits research papers” then yes, it has vast amounts of fraud in the same way that most email is spam.

Within the reputable set, as someone convinced that fraud is out of control, have you ever tried to calculate the fraud rate as a percentage with numerator and denominator (either number of papers published or number of reputable researchers. I would be very interested and stunned if it was over .1% or even .01%.
> The people through the process of democracy, where you also have a say as a voter and potential candidate.

“The process of democracy” is hand waving. There is a complex web of institutions and traditions that reinforce themselves. What country would be more “democratic”: the one where people can vote for one of several handpicked candidates or the one where they can impose their will through community organizing and strikes? The one where billionaires own media and put forward their agenda or the one where the media landscape is dominated by self-sustained media co-ops?

> Property rights is a legal construct

That’s the main issue I have with your view. Property rights are a construct as much as the legal system is a construct, democracy is a construct, the state is a construct and “the rules” you appeal to are a construct. There is no any primacy of the state and the government.
> If my doctor tells me I need to take a certain pill to get better when I am sick, I don't grapple with the lack of free will. I really don't want to take my chances by choosing medications myself.

Unfortunately (in the vast majority of cases), a lot of people do. They "do their own research" and go with healing cristals/essential oils, or choose a treatment "compatible with their religion" or some other nonsense. What you're describing is rational (delegating decision making in certain spheres, within reason, to educated people in those spheres), but a lot of people aren't.

This comment has a lot of words but says nothing. "Many engineers" disagree with every piece of software, and "some companies" ban every piece of software.

Why are you writing Redis in all caps like it's an acronym? Reminds me of those old dog C programmers who write long rants about RUST with inaccuracies that belie the fact they've never actually used it.
The idea that people on GLP-1s shouldn't be trying to preserve (or indeed build) as much muscle mass as they can is absurd. It is more important than ever to perform resistance training and make sure you are getting adequate protein.

But this isn't anything special about GLP-1s - the same is true for any sort of rapid weight loss approach, be it diet, GLP-1, lap band, whatever.

And we see improved cardiovascular outcomes independent of weight loss for people on GLP-1 drugs in widespread clinical trials, vs. one mechanistic in vitro study showing loss of heart muscle cells.
We're working on it, I'm hoping we can get an integration in sometime next week! If you want to track progress on it would recommend joining our Discord.

To clarify - by "it", I mean making Letta agents an MCP client, so that you can easily connect to MCP servers as tools (not the other way around, where Letta itself is an MCP server - if you want that, someone in the community already made one: https://github.com/oculairmedia/Letta-MCP-server)

The exact opposite is probably true at a technical level.

Vue 3.6, for example, is incorporating a new signals rebuild that's several times faster and probably the fastest signals implementation out there[0]

Vue Vapor will also release in experimental mode in 3.6 and once it's mainstreamed, will probably also be among the fastest render models.

Both changes do not affect the DX and require no migrations, but will provide faster performance for ever more complex apps.

Um, "normalization of violent rioting?" Violent rioting in America has occurred ever since this country was founded. In fact, it was founded by a very violent riot. Not to condone violence, but it seems to be a regular part of the American experience, and either deplored or cheered on depending on which side you're on.
