Why not make the string literals in the code identify their positions in the output, to expose the behavior, rather than obfuscate it?

Then the reader only has to work through the code, to see why it would have that order.

It currently looks like a puzzle intended to be harder for the reader to understand than it needs to be.
Same, I was never able to debug why dropout > 5% really hurt convergence speed for my toy LLMs. I chalked it up to the models not having enough parameters to fit fineweb and just stop using it.
I don't need to do that, despite it not being hard to do, because I know that would be a waste of time because I can clearly see from the pictures in the reviews that it is far from perfect. You can definitely see the fold.

Europe looks to poach US researchers as Trump cuts funding
Honestly it's odd and out-of-touch to be motivated by being "competitive with China". Who cares? If you are a normal US resident, you care about improving the lives of you and your community, not competing against some far-away nebulous group of people whom you have never met and will never interact with. All while big brother is telling you that those far-away strangers are somehow your enemies. It makes sense as a rhetorical way to motivate action, but it's rather simple, short-sighted, manipulative, and divorced from reality for 99% of people.

I also reject the notion that progress is a zero-sum game, that we have to "compete" at all, that there needs to be a winner and a loser here. We could just as well work with others to improve the lives of us and our communities. Why isn't the notion "cooperate with China to uplift all"? Perhaps releasing your models under a MIT license is actually the right move here that is in everyone's best interest, perhaps the US should be following their lead?

No.

I'm sure you can get creative. :-) You can set an environment variable to control the encoding, expose a flag or any one of a number of other things to control the encoding. Either way, now you're just shifting the goalposts.

You've also continued to ignore my most substantive rebuttal: that a specific example where ripgrep is not compatible with grep or doesn't behave the same doesn't mean it can't be used in shell pipelines. I use ripgrep in shell pipelines all of the time. As do many others. Literally nothing you've said has invalidated anything I've said. All you're doing is finding things that some implementations of grep can do that ripgrep (intentionally) cannot do in exactly the same way. But that's fine, because ripgrep was never, isn't and will never be compatible with grep: https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/blob/master/FAQ.md#pos...

So if you need grep compatibility get a fucking clue and just use grep.
What's your argument for that?

I mean, it might be meant as a defensive, sure. But is it any better than excluding women or left-handers?
if there are only two sides then it's too easy to be a Trump supporter.

I'll concede that, that's a great point. However, the key to maintaining a balanced diet is first you must get to a target weight you would like to balance from. You can't just be 300lbs and begin eating a balanced diet. There is no time to sit here and argue about anything you mentioned. We are simply in crisis and this involves wiping the slate clean of the mindshare that is sitting right before us. We can discuss our old hatreds afterwards, which pale in comparison. Basically, we need to restart the game from the last save point, as much is it sucks. We can't take the balanced diet of all sides bad because we're extremely obese at the moment.

Some disagree, to which I generally just leave a Fuck You.

In defense of sliding windows of time series, if not clustering, the principal components analysis of the matrix on page 1 is one robust way to extract a linear model for the system producing the time series. It's useful for finding frequencies of closely spaced oscillators in a time series when least squares fitting would be arduous to parameterize and convergence a battle.
>CTA never did that; I don’t think they could if the wanted to.

>Metra did it, I’m 99.9% sure they stopped years ago. But yeah, there would be a person at the platform when the train arrived downtown with a piece of paper saying that the train was delayed. A late slip.

Thanks for the clarification. I wasn't 100% sure about who the relevant agency was (as I mentioned, I don't live there -- although I do have family that does).

>Nowadays, you have real-time location tracking of the train. If it’s late, you can tell your employer what train you’re on and they could verify it. At least to a better degree than with the late slips. Still not perfect. But if you’ve got an employer that would want to verify such things, you’ve got worse problems.

A fair point, but there are some circumstances where both employee and employer may need to justify/document such circumstances -- but on the whole, you're spot on.
Laudable goal!

Because you're responding about different things in different threads, so I'm responding to those responses.

You're just wrong about the common meaning of the term, and you seem to think that just asserting the same thing over and over is somehow going to make you right about it, but it won't. And I'll keep pointing out that you're wrong about it as long as you keep repeating the same thing.

> Tradition does dictate that the PM is an MP, and tradition in UK parliament is pretty binding.

I hope it stays that way.

The US had pretty strong traditions in politics, too, but they are increasingly being eroded.

To give an example that's hopefully far enough in the past to be non-controversial: when they banned alcohol in the early 1920s, they felt that their constitution did not already explicitly give their federal government the power to do so. So they passed the 18th amendment to give the feds that power to specifically ban alcohol.

Decades later, in the context of the war on drugs, everybody seems to take it for granted that the federal government can obviously ban arbitrary substances.
It's fundamentally no different from what VCs are doing, except the timescales are longer. You expect that most startups are going to fail but some are going to be really successful. Because you can't predict the outcomes in advance, you fund a large number of startups, hoping to catch the successful ones. There are some heuristics that should help you pick the winners. Or at least you hope so. But you also know there is a real chance that your intuition is wrong and the heuristics just make your choices worse.

This is their long term MO. Their voters are, largely, aggrieved white men, who have been told they’re the victims of women like, having jobs and making dating decisions. Their politicians are perpetual victims of “mean” or “nasty” opposition. Their policies will fix all your problems, that we’re all caused by the other team.

Everything is grievance and made-up victimhood. 80m people absolutely eat it up.

defer always executes on scope exit, errdefer executes on an error exit. In principle, this is similar to the logic of a try/catch/finally:

} finally {
// defer would happen here

The U.S. is great. It's probably not apparent from Europe how crazy the situation got in the U.S. The number of illegal border crossings on the EU in 2023 was about 380,000: https://www.statista.com/statistics/454775/number-of-illegal.... The last few years, we have been having 150,000-300,000 per month: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0jp4xqx2z3o. And the EU has a much bigger population (330 million versus 450 million).

In 2017, Pew estimated that the EU had peaked around 5 million illegal immigrants: https://www.pewresearch.org/global/2019/11/13/europes-unauth....

IN 2018, a Yale study estimated the U.S. had around 22 million illegal immigrants: https://insights.som.yale.edu/insights/yale-study-finds-twic....

France during the same period was estimated to have 300-400k illegal immigrants: https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2019/11/13/four-co....

We have 10 times as many illegal immigrants per capita as France does.

phpMyAdmin was (is?) such a great tool and really got me into SQL/MySQL over a decade ago. Not to mention the whole PHP stack was so fun to use and let you iterate quickly and just build stuff with an immediate feedback loop - just reload the page and your updated server-side code is executed.
This is a really neat concept that I think would be fun to use.

Looking at the usage, I thought this syntax was interesting:

//here's how we read a key
$sx->readKey('username', $username);

Is there a reason you are requiring a variable to be passed by reference to the readKey function, instead of doing:

$username = $sx->readKey('username');

EDIT: ahh, I see you have a returnKey('key') function that works that way

It most likely has a lot to do with the display tech.

I got 8 days out of the PineTime, which was LED (I assume). You couldn't see anything if the display wasn't turned on.

I just bought a BangleJS (quite a bit cheaper than the Core 2 Duo, but no speaker and only one button) and the estimated battery life is a month. It uses a colour LCD, making the display visible whenever there is light. For example, daylight makes the display bright. It has a light source that gets turned on by the button.

The Core 2 Duo has an e-paper display that only draws power when the display changes.
I make a canvas-based diagramming library (GoJS) and implemented SVG export, and then a whole SVG renderer if you want the same scene in real-time.

>the proposal is tailored so that other than simple syntax support no new semantics need to be implemented within GCC

Not just GCC, but you're right it's tailored, to the same "unwinding" queue that C++ destructor, stack-VLA de-allocation and __attribute__((cleanup)) shared, won't fit into the current state of language otherwise.

Clang share more frontend between C and C++ so I imagine they can implement it as hidden C++ lambda scope-guards, the nested scenario is just full-capturing lambdas inside another.

Basically, we need to restart the game from the last save point, as much is it sucks. We can't take the balanced diet of all sides bad because we're extremely obese at the moment.

The only way that any of this makes any kind of sense is if you're proposing that we lean into the abolition of democracy, and if you were going to propose that then the time to do it was sometime before Jan 20 2025. The far right are the ones with the militias, so an armed revolt isn't going to go our way, and now that Trump is in office abolishing democracy from the top down would obviously not lead to the outcome you want.

Like it or not, we're stuck with white knuckling it and trying to persuade people to vote our way in the midterms, and this style of rhetoric is decidedly counterproductive towards that end.

> You've now also limited the number of eligible voters to those with cards that work in ATMs, so people with some form of wealth which is probably in line with how the framers intended

Calling them ATM cards was probably just a short cut in describing how the system would work. Not a suggestion to connect with the banking system.

In any case, it might actually be an interesting idea to perhaps give everyone a base vote for free and then let them have some bonus votes in proportion to actual net taxes paid. Gotta give those billionaires an incentive to not dodge their taxes so hard after all.

> So if a person's poll numbers drop below some threshold, they are automatically recalled?

That's a relatively simple flaw to fix, if you'd actually want to fix it. You already made some suggestions, and there are other ways.

In general, I would suggest trying these kinds of innovations out more locally before you go for the federal government.

That could either be in states or counties, or even for running local clubs and cooperatives and companies.

There's some standard ways for shareholders to vote on the board of directors etc. But it's relatively easy for willing companies (especially new startups) to experiment with alternative forms of governance.

Particularly interested in:

- User onboarding that actually converts
- Account/user management must-haves
- Subscription systems that don't cause headaches
- Support infrastructure that scales
- First-week metrics worth tracking
- Any legal/compliance gotchas?
- Did you do a soft launch first? How did that go?
