Kraft brand Parmesan has cellulose in it too I don't think many people read the ingredients. It's funny more than anything.

I started buying real block of Parmesan cheese and it's certainly different more sour. The crystals closes to the rind are where the flavour is. Kraft may not even be Parmesan US laws allow other types of cheaper cheese and lots of cellulose sometimes 40%. edit: I should note the crystals theory is from a Parmesan factory documentary. Is it true? They seem to believe it is.

I think it's to the point now where Kraft and real Parmesan are close to the same price especially if you factor in less cellulose in the real stuff.
MoE inference wouldn't be terrible. That being said, there's not a good MoE model in the 70-160B range as far as I'm aware.
I prefer the Moaan because it's lighter and doesn't have a camera.

The service is currently available in US-East-1 on AWS. We plan on launching multi-region AWS support and SOC2 compliance soon. This should give companies the assurance to use ACS to store their data and the flexibility to use it wherever they are deploying their GPUs in AWS.
the standard model isn't one thing, it's the sum total of human knowledge of particle physics. it's an equation with a gazillion terms - this is an adjustment to one of those terms. and yes, you can add terms for any new physics you discover, so technically you're right, but it's not a gotcha.
Your conception of UB is flawed.

This has nothing to do with memory protection.
If a process has the ability to do something, then it may do so. It wouldn't be because GCC and clang choose to melt your computer, it is because your program has a bug, and the consequences of that bug can be anything, including jumping into random executable code that happens to ruin the computer.
Alpine, Void, Devuan or Artix all would have allowed author to use Linux while addressing his points of concern. I don't think the BSD's have real advantages anymore since so much core performance stuff is in Linux first. When most of the software is available on all these platforms, it mostly comes down to user preference.
To be clear, in the US the justice department is under the exec branch. The courts themselves are further disconnected.
Rules based systems are quite useful, not for interacting with an untrained human, but for getting things done. Deep learning can be good at exploring the edges of a problem space, but when a solution is found, we can actually get to the doing part.
I think the replies [0] to the mentioned reddit thread sums up my (perhaps complacent?) feelings about the current state of automated AI programming:

I also think this article was buzzword-inspired and has no substance beyond that point. I mean, do you need a buzzword to argue you need to write correct code, readable code, idiomatic code, simple, and performant? It borders on the vaccuous nonsense.

Say what you want about Clean Code, but at least each and every single recommendation is actionable, has clear guidelines, a rationale, and verifiable output. This CRISP nonsense has none of that.
Trump is checked out. They let him scribble with his sharpie and appear before cameras, but they don't brief him on stuff or include him in important meetings, and he doesn't care. He isn't interested in that stuff. The White House is basically an assisted living facility for Trump at this point.

Which raises (but does not beg) the question: why don't the young people around him doing the plotting and planning care about tanking the country? How is Musk going to sell his cars? Why does JD want to rule over a smoking, disease-ridden ruin?

This series of videos walks through building a circuit to decode one type of audio data format that was used in the 80s and send data to a computer and discusses how the audio signal works and simple circuit to turn it into digital data https://www.gregorystrike.com/2023/01/07/kansas-city-standar...

The blog post doesn't even touch on write conflicts, which is the main reason I opened it (I was curious on how they solved them), so not surprised there's no many details about security etc.
What prevents them from simply pushing an update that quietly uploads private keys or unencrypted messages to their servers

Presumably they use proper HTTPS, so all the data is essentially encrypted twice, if they just concatenate some packets with keys, it would be extremely difficult to detect as you'd need to decrypt HTTPS (which is possible if you can install your own certificates on a device), then dig through random message data to find a random value you don't even know.

You raise an interesting point, that along with the replies, compels me to note that all of this stuff is bespoke, and things that sound simple like "I just want a good syncing library" are intractable in practice.

Ex. if I'm doing a document-based app, users can have at it, corrupt their own data all they want.

I honestly cannot wrap my mind around discussions re: SQLite x web dev, perhaps because I've been in mobile dev: but I don't even know what it'd mean to have an "offline-first forum" that syncs state: it's a global object with shared state rendered on the client.

When you set aside the implications introduced by using a hack scenario, a simpler question emerges: How would my clients sync the whole forum back to the cloud? Generally, my inclination is to handwave about users being able to make posts and have it "just work", after all, can't Turo help with simple scenarios like a posts table that has a date column? That makes it virtually conflict free...but my experience is "virtually" bites you, hard.
> Vibe coders focus on writing tests

From the boasting I've seen, Vibe coders are also using AI to slop out their tests as well.
Interesting outcome of Saturday's game -- most of the Yankee's runs came as a result of their 9 homers, and they let up 9 runs -- which, defensively, is not great. The Brewers scored an average 4.78 runs per game in 2024.

Kinda suggests the Yankees aren't all great at playing baseball, except for hitting home runs, but that's all that really matters.
Thanks for your kind words, appreciated.

It moves the model from 'sorta-kinda-maybe-know-something-about-this' to being grounded in the context itself. Huge difference for anything underrepresented (not only obscure packages and not-Python not-JS languages).
If only the Yankees get access to this, the rest of the league will simply vote to outlaw it.

You see something similar going on in football, right now, with a play known as the "tush push". It's not a particularly complex play, but for some reason the Philadelphia Eagles can pull it off astoundingly better than anyone else in the league. In response, several teams are petitioning rules to outlaw it. All it takes is enough teams to vote for banning this play and it's gone.
This can be explained easily – there are simply some domains that were hard to model, and those are the ones where AI is outperforming humans. Natural language is the canonical example of this. Just because we focus on those domains now due to the recent advancements, doesn’t mean that AI will be better at every domain, especially the ones we understand exceptionally well. In fact, all evidence suggests that AI excels at some tasks and struggles with others. The null hypothesis should be that it continues to be the case, even as capability improves. Not all computation is the same.
The loser in the AI model competition appears to be... Microsoft.

When ChatGPT was the only game in town Microsoft was seen as a leader, thanks to their wise investment in Open AI. They relied on Open AI's model and didn't develop their own. As a result Microsoft has no interesting AI products. Copilot is a flop. Bing failed to take advantage of AI, Perplexity ate their lunch.

While they do share the same code base, personally (and therefore anecdotally) I have noticed an issue where on Linux with ZFS my programs will get OOM killed whereas they won't on FreeBSD+ZFS or on Linux+ext4. My theory was that the ARC pages on Linux weren't available for clearing under memory pressure whereas maybe they were in FreeBSD but that's just a guess. Hopefully someone knows more, but at least anecdotally even with the "same" ZFS code base, they can perform differently in situ.
I’m wrapping up the final audio plug-in in my “Loudness Series” which was designed to bring compressors and limiters into modernity by upgrading their circuitry to using LUFS and True Peak in place of RMS/Peak.

I don't think the headline is misunderstanding anything.

These things are both true:

> C and C++ Prioritize Performance over Correctness

> C/C++ date from an era where "correctness" in the sense the author means wasn't a feasible feature.

So correctness wasn't feasible, and therefore wasn't a priority. The machines were limited, and so performance was the priority.

I would like to test it with a large database to see how it handles a 3–5 GB database sync.

Seems like the author kind of missed (or buried) the point when summarising the "global fibre-based broadband network" prediction as simply "(the internet)"..

I was using the internet in 1995 - and pretty sure at least part of that connection use was over fibre, so I don't imagine someone trying to get away with predicting that.

But the path to my house was still a phone line - so I assume the original prediction was more about that fibre eventually running to our houses - certainly something many of us were looking forward to back then particularly any time someone in the house picked up a phone and killed our connection :)

I helped make wooden oars, that were used by competitors in international rowing competitions, that had blades designed by someone at MIT, back in the day, on a computer(golley gee), but we made them by hand, and as they were, only wood, they were legal for use, and all the champions used them.
we also made oars for "bostan bay bantry boat rigs" that won while crewed by inner city kids,
we cheated a bit, and snuck some carbon fibre in
but nobody even knew what that was, 18' oars, 2 kids to each, 16 oars per boat, plus the tiller.

The "small screen" the article is talking about that was still functional is likely a backup PFD, or at the VERY LEAST an attitude indicator. Validating that an attitude indicator is working is not particularly hard, especially if the flight controls are still working.

Ejecting over a populated area at a low altitude is a dangerous decision in its own right, and the unfortunate truth here is that if the choice is between "the life of the pilot" and "the lives of people on the ground" then the pilot is obligated to fly the jet until a crash is assured. Obviously I don't have all the details, but the article itself doesn't say that required instruments were unavailable.

Part of the issue here, too, is that pilots and aviation in general is an "old boys club" and this extends to giving long-tenured pilots extraordinary leeway for mistakes they made that newer or less popular people would have been crucified for. I was left wondering if that's what the first two flight reviews did, and the third one didn't.

I use both a home server and a cloud VM, and they work together. I'm thankfully able to use FreeBSD 14 on my cloud VM (just a preference).

I push data from my home server for easy access on my cloud VM. For example, weather data from my weather station, images/time-lapses from my weather cam. I have no ports open to my home network. Basically just fun stuff without exposing my home network.

I use the cloud VM as an SSH "jump box" into my home network. My OpenBSD box sets up a remote SSH tunnel port. I can then use the SSH -J option to jump through the cloud VM into that home OpenBSD box (as well as chain "jumps" to other home servers).

* This way I don't need any home server to trust a cloud VM.

* This mostly is for checking on my Home Assistant instance.

* I've also fixed some things remotely with an SSH session.

Do I need all this? Well, would be less fun without.
It's too bad that this kind of thing is using x86 as the actually-pseudocode for this. I understand why -- ease of porting, etc. -- but using either WASM (w/WALI?) directly with a kernel compiled to WASM (there are efforts to do this) or something open like RISC-V would be better long term.

Mobile is indeed supported, although the performance is not yet as nice as we would like.

I hear fines are up to thousands of dollars now..
That's actually crazy to me. Like, a sealed, generic brand bag from the cold section of a chain grocery store vs a block purchased from the deli and shredded by hand? The difference is massive! Taste will vary between the two anyways but the texture difference is categorical. The pre shredded has grainy flour like stuff all over it, the manually shredded is completely smooth with no graininess at all. I can 1000% tell the difference in any kind of test you want to do.

Where are you buying cheese that this comparison isn't noticable?
One can get early Alpha and Beta versions of Minecraft through the official launcher too. I think this is a nice benefit - you buy the game once and have perpetual access to the latest version, but also all the old versions which are worth playing for various reasons e.g. Beta 1.7.3 is very popular because it's one of the last versions before the terrain and cave generation was significantly changed.
> Expecting that to map deterministically to solving open ended complex problems is absurd.

TCP creates an abstraction layer with more reliability than what it's built on. If you can detect failure, you can create a retry loop, assuming you can understand the rules of the environment you're operating in.
The flip side of all of this is that so many products fail because development on new features becomes unbelievably slow. Either because of a kind of process paralysis or because things are over-engineered.

Don't get me wrong - there are absolutely critical path parts of software and engineering projects that can become enormous liabilities if not handled correctly. Further, the whole nature of software means that sometimes it's not even clear what will be a vulnerability at the outset – people find ways to exploit even the most benign-seeming aspects of a piece of software.

So, I'm not suggesting that the warnings raised here are without merit. But, it's worth understanding that despite all of that – AI or not – disruption happens constantly because a startup that isn't big enough to worry about a lot of these issues can come in and upset the established player by moving fast.

Again, this isn't a moral judgement either way – just pointing out a reality.

I personally think 'vibe coding' should be thought of as a kind of prototyping tool. A scaffolding to quickly validate an idea and see if it has legs.
Unmuted is a great name. I like the concept of interviewing regular people, kinda like Manuel's People and Blogs series.

I mean yes, you are correct. UV does a lot of different things, but this particular "self-contained app" feature is a lot like zero install. You run your app, its dependencies are automatically downloaded and cached for other uv/zero install apps to use, and it's all transparent and easy.

Many of them already can be. Many more existing models will become local options if/when RAM prices decline.

But this won't necessarily prevent enshittification, as there's always a possibility of a new model being tasked with pushing adverts or propaganda. And perhaps existing models already have been — certainly some people talk as if it's so.
