You can, in fact, self host it.

My biggest gripe is that he's comparing probabilistic models (LLMs) by a single sample.

You wouldn't compare different random number generators by taking one sample from each and then concluding that generator 5 generates the highest numbers...

Would be nicer to run the comparison with 10 images (or more) for each LLM and then average.

Literally the only comment with some on-topic useful info...

You need to allow location access, then it displays the map for your current location.

Thanks! Very helpful for the uninitiated like myself.

Think of it as a news article: write in decreasing levels of importance and increasing levels of detail, assuming the reader could stop reading at any point.

Great quote and life advice, will definitely steal this! Thanks!

I'm not sure why some call the authors choice of 1$ per install disingenuous. Wouldn't that be the averaged out profit per app when you combine paying and non paying users?

Like for each app which costs 5$ I'd expect that there's at least 5 non-paying users using the free version.

Update: Also, the revenue per app doesn't affect the 0.5$ per app install fee. Meaning, if the app is making less than 0.5$ per install, averaged over free + paying users, then one would just be loosing money...

Interesting to see how some people keep defending Apple as if it was their own company...

But if Unity tries to do the same then they revolt.

That was it, thanks for the suggestion!

Any pictures of how Zed actually looks? Searched their site and couldn't find any...

Debated if to click the link after reading the clickbait headline, but after playing around with it for a few mins seems actually quite decent!

Obviously missing some features compared to Notion, but surprisingly not that many, especially compared to the other Notion alternatives. And style wise seems quite polished.

For something which works across all JS runtimes (Deno, Node) and achieves basically the same, check out the popular JS library Execa[1]. Works like a charm!

Another alternative is the ZX shell[2] JS library. Tho haven't tested it.

Still confused to be honest...

What does it mean that Earthstar will become a Willow protocol? Isn't it an implementation of Willow?

Thanks!

Cool, but what does this mean?

How far does a $762 million deal get you? Doesn't seem like such a huge sum for priority access to next gen 2nm machines, but also hard to judge as a layperson...

You can if you are just executing a static python script never changes.

But if you want to call some python functions with your TS input then you would need to serialize the TS input, pass it as an arg to the script, there deserialize it and then call the python function with the input. And if you wanted to call multiple python functions then your first arg to the python script would need to be the name of the function, only then the serialized data. Plus you would need to implement a switch case on the python side to execute the right function.

This assumes that you use your computer and browser regularly.

There's nobody to yell at you if you don't use your computer... (which my older relatives don't, they just use it once every few months for some gov sites and such, as for me, I don't use Chrome except when a website says "sorry works only on Chrome" which doesn't happen that often thankfully).

And herewith lies the core of the issue, the browser just refuses to auto update if not updated in a while and tells you to re-install it.

Yeah exactly, it refuses to update itself automatically after not being updated in a while.

That's the issue in my case, why does it want me to re-download it manually, can't it do that itself?

I usually don't use Chrome so it's perma closed and see this behavior only after not opening Chrome for some time (around two (?) months or more). Then when I do opened it, after some time (guess checking for updates in background) it shows the update button in red which just links to re-download Chrome.

Furthermore, sometimes I just ignore the warning and keep using the old version and even after closing/reopening it again it still says the same, so, no, I wouldn't say that this is the issue.

Can't lose the edge to Tim Apple...

Expected a huge list and there's only 3 items there, and one of them, JPEG XL, is kinda moot because it didn't seem viable until recently after Safari started supporting it...

Feel that the list could have had much more substance with the addition of webUSB, webSerial and such features which Chrome just strong armed.

In the current form the list and toot don't really drive the point home...

Support the idea of limiting addictive apps/websites for minors, but think that China's implementation of government overreach and bio-authenticating for every online service is way too privacy invasive. Tho not sure how one could solve it in a privacy respecting way... Maybe just have a short workshop for parents about how to setup parental control once their kid gets enrolled into primary school?

Anyone smarter got any ideas?

Would wouldn't it be harder for the government to shut down your government provided email than for some corporation? Analogously to turning off someone's water or electricity, the gov would need a really good reason which can stand in court. Unlike Google which can shut down your account at any point because their automated system detected "suspicious activity".

Never thought of it that way, that by having the service being provided by the gov more restrictions apply to it being monetized and therefore being in a way better privacy wise. Like what you said, not being able to sell activity data. Interesting angle.

Looking forward to that for completeness sake!

Btw, regarding a bit older pre-Flakes commits, at least some packages will error out while nix-installing on M1 (or newer) macbooks because at that point nix packages didn't anticipate macbooks ever ditching x86 for aarch... Hope this info helps you out, at least took me some time to realize that the random obscure error was caused by this. Can be almost always fixed by appending "--system darwin-x86_64" to the nix command to use Apple's Rosetta binary translation, cheers.

Oh, didn't know, thanks for the explanation! Does seem like an interesting concept, will check out Speck more in-depth.

Thanks for the answer! Looking forward to the followup post :D

And yeah, nix naming conventions are sometimes a mess. Your approach does seem much nicer.

Last question if you have a bit more time. How come that you don't have every version of a package available? Is it because you only parse the Hydra stable 23 builds (which I guess aren't updated on every version) or because you parse them only periodically like Lazamar's Nix Package Versions?

yet if I understand correctly, it often has one version per package per Nix version?

Both yeah and no. Taking the example of nodejs, you have all the supported major releases like nodejs_16, nodejs_18, etc. for each Nix revision[1], but within each revision you only have a specific version of the package. E.g. nodejs_16 is 16.3.1 for revision at date X. There are benefits and drawbacks of managing a package repo like that, with revisions which implicitely pin all packages and it's dependencies at once, but it's too long of a topic to write about here.

For example the curl package [1] has tons of versions [...]

So does it in nix (curlMinimal, curlWithGnuTls, curlHTTP3, etc)[2]. In that regard nix and Spack are similar.

[1]: A revision is like a shapshot of all the packages at a given point in time.
