Yeah, I guess I'm thinking: although we have the internet (neat!), most of western society is still organized around getting educated, getting a job and working for a living. It was not always this way, and if the OP was correct, we mi

Came here to post exactly this. If it’s just about the amount of dollars in the world economy adjusted for inflation, then it’s just a graph of inflation and population growth. Despite the “size of the economy,” skyrocketing, peoples’ lives

Line 10: Nature dislikes anthropomorphization

Line 1: > Action W = ∫ L dt is minimized in local motion. The lines below fix the two fundamental Lagrangians L. Well, you lost me. As a non-physicist maybe I'm not ready for the distillation of the field into 9 lines.

Wow, the way it’s described, the empire fell because of a xenophobic campaign that boils down to “Make Rome Great Again.”

They only got a second crack at it because they were floating on sales of the Apple II. If the Lisa had been their first product, we'd be saying "Apple who?" The Vision is a whole different universe… with their cash and posit

Yes, and the Lisa failed, because there just weren’t enough adopters at that price. I struggle to see any sizable market for the tinybox, but I wish them good luck.

I don’t think there’s any reason to believe other cultures or time periods had parenting more figured out than us… But I do believe in a first principles approach. Basically, be good to your kid, use natural consequences instead of punishme

Yes, all of that is true, but the stall warning did sound almost immediately once autopilot disengaged—the crew was just too freaked out to know what to do with the warning.

In the case of 447, they were warned about a stall, repeatedly.

To be fair, it sounds like this crash caused airlines and regulators to demand much more adverse event training, including high-altitude stall recovery. But according to the article, Airbus hasn't addressed the split control issue…

The size makes it tough for App Store deployment, but I could imagine using a local LLM on-device for an enterprise app.

I didn't realize that! I wonder how performant a small Llama would be on iOS.

Does anyone know the feasibility of converting the ONNX model to CoreML for accelerated inference on Apple devices?
856.
by turnsout 3y ago
That could be, but depending on the model architecture, it might depend on multi stroke sequences (similar to autocorrect on a phone) rather than identifying each individual keystroke in isolation. If that's the case, the layout may be

by turnsout 3y ago
Given that this seems to be based on key placement, I wonder if the model can adapt to international layouts or alternative layouts like Dvorak.

I really wish Stripe would just make something like this. Just the bare minimum necessary to host Checkout for products entered in your Stripe dashboard. I wonder if they can’t due to some onerous clause in their agreement with Shopify.

Yes, the event model is the only thing that makes sense. Just wanted to say, I don't think Kent's idea is in conflict with the Event Sourcing pattern, as long as these "Effective/Posting" events are stored append-on

The sixth fact is far from a foregone conclusion. There is absolutely nothing special about humans which would protect us from extinction.

Don't worry, they all have plans to be carbon neutral by 2050. They're not acting on those plans, and 2050 is 20 years too late, but they have plans!

Honestly I think that would be a really interesting book! It could be case studies of people who were 100% invested in a "system," but found that they got just as good (or better) results from following common sense guidelines and

Yeah, you've hit the nail on the head—no one got rich selling a book called "There Is No Magic Bullet: Everything Sort of Depends"

It seems like every coder needs to learn this the hard way at some point. “I’ll save so much time!”

In my experience in major US cities, taxis are either comparable or cheaper than Uber. And the cost of a taxi is far less variable, which is a huge plus.

The reason I ask is that I was poking around and saw some projects to help with wasm compilation, and on this random list of wasm-capable languages [0], Nim is listed as "Work in Progress." Notably, Swift is ranked higher, and I v

Nim looks awesome. Does anyone know why it doesn't have first-class support for wasm? That's the only thing that would keep me from diving into it more.

I wonder how much of this is due to the fact that the Media Lab sells access to corporations? They need to make their research and patent portfolio seem utterly transformative to justify the hefty subscription fee.
