Thank you for trying out the MVIII, I think it will take time but after few months we might be able to reach at a percentage of indexing of the internet, it took google few years before they reached quality in results.
Current results seems to be good enough for a 1 vCPU with 4GB RAM.
Backend optimizes for most text occurrences on a page hence OpenSUSE seems to be ranking above Hacker News.
I admit to being rude and to being a very bad builder myself.
But the article is bad. Just about every piece of evidence has some sort of issue. Correlation-causation, or not enough data, or just assumptions. The wolf stuff (seems to be) based on only 2 observations. The author cites big tech in CA, but then describes a single clothing company that has a high random metric that is supposedly an accurate indicator of all of the above.
And the connections between arguments are not even that good. Skimming over it, I wasn't sure what the article's point was.
As for the conclusion, the vague words on what could be done are the kind of stuff everyone is trying anyway for other reasons, and it isn't (?) working.
Alphas aren't only observed in captive wolves. They are observed in MANY MANY animal groups.
I think the full picture isn't some liberal idea where everyone lives in harmony and can work together for the common good without the weakest link ever getting left behind.
The truth is it's a bit of both. We live in a world where it's dog eat dog but also companionship and working together are BOTH effective strategies for survival. Most humans are programmed to be able to handle both modes of survival . Depending on circumstance one strategy often becomes critical for survival. For example: if you're in captivity or aka a setting with very very limited resources the alpha strategy works best.
Of course no citations for me either. But I think it's quite clear the author is biased.
You’re right. Antarctic penguins and walruses are good examples of this. Penguin females go hunting, while the males hatch eggs and rear the young till the females return. Walrus males, OTOH, absolutely dominate other walrus males, and keep a harem of females.
But who cares? Humans are more closely related to primates than other animals, who exhibit all kinds of different behaviors across species. I am not sure why we’re trying to model human behaviors from wolves at all.
In fact, human advanced cognitive development is unique amongst the entirety of the animal kingdom, so it’s okay if humans have behaviors which are unique just to us, and are unobserved in other animals.
There’s a recent book, “Bitch: On the Female of the Species” by Lucy Cooke, which specifically targets the traditional “strong males weak females is the natural order” trope. It’s brilliantly written, comprehensive in its dismantling of the concept, and a very fun read (side note: I have a habit of reading in bars, and this one got a lot of looks)
Pro (Newbie) tip: use a GUI for git (like lazygit or VS Code Source Control). Git is one of the few complicated CLI tools that actually works well as a GUI, so take full advantage of it.
Very interesting! I was on another thread where the user stated that they preferred the git CLI to using a git GUI, because the GUI imposed another layer of conceptual complexity on top of an already complex tool.
I used IntelliJ and emacs' magit.
I don't know what "extra layer of conceptual complexity" they're talking about, it's very straightfoward to me (admitedly, I knew the CLI well enough before I started using GUIs so maybe I had already internalized whatever concepts they're think about).
I use navi cheatsheets for that. You can store commands with descriptions and easily execute them. This is where I put all the "will need only once a year" commands.
What I do google is ffmpeg, but not before every online editor/converter on the internet completely betrays my expectations and makes me reconsider my life choices.
I suspect the software is doing a lot of the heavy lifting, because the mechanism is (looks) quite simple.
Here are some flaws/potentially misleading features I noticed:
By design, the robot has only 2 I/O functions (3 in 3D), which are the motors on the strings. Thus it can't be any more capable than any other machine with 2 I/O.
In fact, the design is simply a function that maps limited 2d movement and grabbing onto 2 motors.
Pulling the strings affects it's tip first, so getting it into a specific position is a pain. Making an "S" shape, would require first rolling it all the way one way, and then unrolling it the other way.
In the video, they have the robot already setup in a specific position, and they don't show how hard it is to actually get it there. All the complicated moves (around rocks+drop off) are very specifically set up, and might be non-reversible.
The "contact detection" requires one of the strings to be fully contracted. And all of it relies on the manufacturing and environment to be consistent with minimal friction.
This robot is a bit like brain*uck. You can do stuff, but you need to do it in a bit of a roundabout way. Not to say that there isn't a sense of elegance to it.
This is something that I find surprisingly hard to locate - even in a house with thousands of pictures taken in it, simple pictures of how the living room is laid out are rare to non-existent. You have to piece together the evidence from other photos just to remember how it was.
e. Raycast doesn't know what the e constant (2.71828) is.
Their entire calculator is crappy. It took them forever just to get scientific notation and inverse trig functions working.
Meanwhile, it was all proprietary (so I couldn't do anything myself) and they were busy developing AI. I know they have all the fancy add-ons and scripts, but at that point it is easier to just cmd+tab to the browser for Wolfram Alpha or commandline for numbat calculator.
I just realized Albert (sort of) work on MacOS, but it is in German for some reason, so I will have figure out configs.
