How are you running that GGUF, and how many tokens/sec are you getting without MTP? My M1 Max gives me 65 t/s for non-MTP unsloth/gemma-4-26B-A4B-it-qat-GGUF (UD-Q4_K_XL), but with MTP that actually goes down to 56 t/s (at 63% accepted drafts).

Well, here's how the current temperature uptick looks compared to historical fluctuations: https://xkcd.com/1732/

I had the exact same experience, only with one added bonus thought: "OK, so I don't see any noise. Middle of the image... Maybe they consider this weird shape to be noise for some reason? Hmmm, what is it anyway?" :)

What exactly broke in yours? I've had mine for 5 years and except for the cable (had to replace it) and the pads (foam) they're holding great. And I can't say I look after them much.

earplugs: a-Jays Two (good sound, flat cables -- durable and don't get tangled),

portable headphones: Beyerdynamics DTX 501p (great overall, don't leak sound),

home: Grado SR-80 (great sound, durable except for the cable; also, the cable is in Y configuration and twists a bit. I had to replace it after a couple years).

If I had to buy just one of these, DTX 501p win hands down as the most versatile.

If anyone is looking for portable headphones, Beyerdynamics DTX 501p are brilliant (and great value at that). Comfortable, good isolation, no music leaking out bothering others, surprisingly nice sound for their price and size. These days I tend to pick them up more often than my Grado SR-80 (which I also recommend).

I don't follow. I use CloudFlare to make my sites respond faster and be protected from DOS attacks. Hiding the place where my files are stored is not why CloudFlare exists -- at least I thought so.

Of course one might argue that revealing the origin IP exposes it to DOS attacks, but this is a different issue.

From what I understand, the political aspect of the issue aside, the problem is that if a site is served via CloudFlare, there's no easy way to identify and communicate with the actual hosting company.

Off the top of my head, this could be solved by adding the origin IP in CloudFlare's HTTP response headers. Am I wrong? Or this makes no sense (or it's there already) and I just don't know what I'm talking about?

EDIT: Ha! Got downvoted, probably because someone thought I want to help Russia censor the web. :)

Thing is, CloudFlare shouldn't be responsible for taking down sites, whatever the basis of the takedown might be; this should be addressed at the host level, not this or any other proxy.

TL;DR: Clinical trials expected in the first half of 2014

(1/14/14) Update on the anti-CD47 cancer therapy clinical trials

Researchers and staff at Stanford are continuing to work hard preparing the groundwork for the clinical trials of our anti-CD47 antibody as a cancer therapy. We are anticipating the start of clinical trials sometime in the first half of this year, though unforeseen delays may yet slow that progress. As we get closer to the start of the clinical trials, we will be posting information about eligibility for the trials and how to apply.

There has been a huge amount of interest in these trials from patients and their families and friends. However, we feel compelled to emphasize that, as is typical of FDA phase I clinical trials, the first tests of this therapy will be very small safety trials involving only a very few patients. Unfortunately, this means only a tiny fraction of those interested will be admitted to the first phase I clinical trials. Accordingly, we are urging patients to continue exploring existing treatments and other clinical trials.

This would make a lot of sense. Flagging clearly says "this comment is not appropriate on this site", while downvoting usually means simply "I don't agree with this comment".

Cool, but (there's always a but) there's one parameter sorely missing -- speed. What's the point of having a humongous pendrive if you need two days to copy its contents?

Unfortunately it's not as simple as price and size, with the advertised speeds tending to be higher than measured. Also, a while ago I got a drive which promised pretty nice nominal read and write speeds; it turned out however that it had a small buffer and for larger files (or more of them) the transfer speed slowed to a crawl within a few seconds.

Tricky items, those little drives.

I think the whole discussion doesn't lead anywhere. We're trying to bend the ideas of self, continuity and sameness to our quite limited imagination.

Let's take the teleportation example: my rebuilt self is just as much "me" as the original was (or still is, should the device keep it intact) -- all atoms are in exactly the same place, and what's crucial, the memories and mental characteristics are preserved. It's not my clone (where only the DNA is the same), it's the exact replica. Doesn't matter that it's built from freshly assembled atoms, since our bodies continuously assimilate new atoms and shed old ones anyway. In that we're more resembling a wave on the ocean than a Luke Skywalker's lightsaber prop, where it actually counts that it's the exact set of atoms that Mark Hamill wielded on set. If you care about memorabilia anyway.

The two existing duplicates of me are obviously not "the same me", but nobody should expect them to be. They both are a continuation of myself. Like the aforementioned wave, I'm not my atoms and their configuration, I'm the continuity of their ever-changing state.

.......

When a cell divides, does it cease to exist? If so, at which point exactly? Are the two newly created cells the same cell as the one that was there before? Are they a half-cell each, even though they both are full cells now? Is one of them the original cell that gave half of its matter to create an offspring? Would everything be back to normal if one of them ate the other one and we could say that the original cell just performed a crazy transformation, but it's still the same cell (the same atoms, chromosomes and all)?

These questions might seem reasonable, but I think they stem from our mistaken desire to qualify and label things. Still, the reality isn't limited to our understanding of it.

I haven't noticed it, so I took some screenshots. Here's how Glyphicons [1] render for me (FF 27.0.1, Mac):

Alas, all of their SaaS plans have the same price: "negotiable". I never felt like negotiating, so I have no idea if they're affordable; unfortunately custom pricing usually means it's not the case.

I actually do maximize the browser quite often when just browsing, i.e. not using the web while working on other things. My main screen is a 27" at 2560x1440, and I like how a maximized window allows for less distractions and more horizontal tab space.

Unless the page doesn't have a max-width of course, which usually forces me to resize the window; for HN I created a restyling Greasemonkey script though.

Nice, thanks! I didn't find one on your page, so I made a quick bookmarklet to open the chart:

  javascript:id=document.location.href.match(/id=(\d+)/)[1];document.location='http://hnlike.com/hncharts/chart/?id='+id

Edit: rewritten to open it in a new tab:

  javascript:(function(){var id=document.location.href.match(/id=(\d+)/)[1];url='http://hnlike.com/hncharts/chart/?id='+id;var w=window.open(url, '_blank'); w.focus();})()

I'm using an older WDTV LIVE and indeed, I never had issues with decoding stuff. The downside is that it's somewhat limited, e.g. I cannot adjust audio sync which sometimes gets quite annoying. Being able to jump 30s (and such) back and forth instead of "analog" rewinding and fast-forwarding would be nice as well.

I'm still waiting for a device that handles XBMC well, is responsive, has an optical audio output and offers DTS pass-through -- apparently there's no such thing. Lack of support for DTS/DD 5.1 pass-through is the main problem; last time I checked Minix seemed to be close, but not there yet.

More than once I saw them being used in video productions, with a steadicam guy riding one.

My thoughts exactly. I wish there was a way to filter them out other than downvoting. Something like a "flag as non-constructive" button with a corresponding settings entry, allowing to either not show them at all or change the display style so that they could be skimmed through quickly.

I personally come to HN to learn new things, not to participate in witty banter.

I'd love to see a program that blocks any new installs until approved by a "family geek". When your mother clicks that INSTALL NEW TOOLBAR! link, it emails you with details on the software to be installed, and only after you approve it, your mom is able to proceed with the installation.

AdBlock is the first extension I install in a fresh browser. I never click on ads anyway, so PPC ads are wasted on me. Unless they're large and intrusive, I don't tend to look at them either (banner blindness), so showing them to me doesn't help advertisers anyway.

I feel that usually ads ruin the experience for me far more than it would be justified by the $0.003 the site earns, so I can't say I feel bad.

A perfect situation for me would be to be able to pay those sites the amount they earn by showing me ads, without me seing them. I'd add a site to a list in AdBlock or some other extension; the site wouldn't show me the ads and ruin my experience, getting the $0.003 (automatically) from me, not the advertiser. Too bad such nanopayments (well, formally millipayments) are far from being simple.

I use a version of that -- a single system variable identifying the environment and a series of conditional blocks for each environment in the settings.py file:

  ENVIRONMENT = os.environ.get('ENVIRONMENT', None)
  
  if not ENVIRONMENT in ('development', 'staging', 'production'):
      raise Exception('You need to set ENVIRONMENT variable')
  
  if ENVIRONMENT == 'development':
      # ...
  elif ENVIRONMENT == 'staging':
      # ...

I feel bad for piggybacking like that, but I'm planning a trip (probably WAW-BKK) and this kind of insight would help me a lot. If you could copy me on that email at notabing --at-- gmail.com, I'd be mighty grateful. :)

Actually it's just a plane that you can drive on roads. A driving plane rather than flying car, if you will.

The latter. The delay (if there is one) isn't too long.

Just got the deluxe version and I'm wondering, what percentage of buyers chose this one from the two? Could you share some numbers (or at least percentages)?

I was thinking about that too, and I recall a thread where someone said a good strategy is to release a paid app for iOS and an ad-supported free one for android. That said, top 100 best sold apps here and there being priced quite differently is quite interesting and counter-intuitive.

I wonder if perhaps it might be partly due to some nicely priced niche apps being better represented in (by definition more open) android market than in the iOS one. Not that I know of any or actually looked into it; plus, I doubt many such apps would get into the top 100.
