I have so far only completed about 14 minutes of the talk, but I would imagine it to be some sort of relatable analogy which foreshadows what the thesis of the talk is about. The "Christian Parents" are the authority figure and fo

Michael Crosby wrote this! He's a long-time maintainer of Docker, Containerd, and more! He was Docker's first to receive the 'Distinguished Engineer' Title. This means a lot coming from him.

they specifically said "Splotlight Semantic Indexing" which means they generate embeddings of all your "personal context" and store it in a local vector database so they can do on-device RAG.

that's interesting because my understanding was that a lot of models used pressure as the vertical (height) coordinate and with tracking temperature at any given coordinate lets you know the density of the air at any point.

The title should be updated to note this is from 2006. Has there been anything like this published in the past 20 years but for compressible fluids? I have wanted to make a simple atmospheric model for years but have been unable to becaus

while I understand that we are computing the tokens in parallel to get the "faster" result, is there a tradeoff where we're actually utilizing more compute resources by running multiple instances of the large model? That is,

This seems hyperbolic as it's actually a long path between age verification to full digital identity tracking. But I agree that pushing the burden of verification to websites is ridiculous. Like the GDPR requirements where every webpag

class 2 and class 3 are mutually exclusive. You cannot legally have an e-bike that supports throttle up to 20mph that can also continue to e-assist if you pedal up to 28mph. While it's technically possible in software to switch between

that's a nice bike! bummer that the rear rack isn't co-sprung.

From the article: > It also features a throttle good for 20mph where regulations allow. That must mean they have a class 2 option.

The e-bike market has multiple tiers/segments. This is not priced to compete with brands like Rad Power Bikes, Lectric, or Aventon. It's likely going to compete with brands like Tern, Benno, Gazelle, Trek, etc. edit: ask yourself

mid-drive e-bikes like this one are generally more expensive also but more efficient than rear hub motor systems. They also provide better overall weight distribution.

a full suspension e-bike, 500+Wh battery, with a belt drive for $4,500 is honestly a really good deal. There is a shortage of options when it comes to full-suspension bikes that are good for commutes. Compare this to any e-bike with the B
