They do actually admit that about constrained decoding somewhere in the docs. They argue it’s useless in practice because when the constraints actually kick in it harms the output too much and that it’s better to just error and retry in those cases.

That does align with my experience, though we’re not using anything close to frontier for these sort of tasks.

I am interested if it can actually improve on that. As an engineer i like the elegance of guaranteed output, but the retry works pretty well in practice.

I found this article posted here a while back insightful: https://refactoringenglish.com/blog/useful-feedback-on-desig...

Start with a single reviewer who is invested in the topic has been helpful for me. Occasionally it is hard to even find one person with how scatter brained everyone seems to have become lately, but depends on who you work with I guess...

> next to none percentage wise gets much royalties anymore

While artists get paid less then many would like, royalties make up roughly 2/3rds of revenue of all the streaming giants, which is a huge amount of money. This recurring monthly, mostly passive income is still helpful for smaller professional bands in between touring.

When the indie band Xiu Xiu pulled out of Spotify many were quick to say it didn't matter that much except for exposure, but in interviews they pointed out that they lost a significant portion of they're yearly income from doing it just from the streaming royalties.

Many will say touring is where the real money is, but costs are rising and what I've heard its not as lucrative for smaller bands as it was in the past.

Some links: Spotify's own report on payouts, obviously a biased editorial, but good data nonetheless (for example 13K artists made 100k/year from spotify royalties alone) https://loudandclear.byspotify.com/payouts/

A transparent report on tour costs from a fairly popular indie band (notably they could make more if they were less principled or were a smaller band, but I think this report is still eye opening in terms of general costs) https://stereogum.com/2497822/los-campesinos-break-down-what...

Cursor has a terminal based app that’s just as good as any of the other mainstream ones…

Just use scopes in the API key the agent uses? If you’re exposing something publicly that should be a requirement anyways.

That’s how I use gh, aws, etc. No need to modify any of the code in the cli, they’re just wrappers.

BERT came out in 2018 and that’s a pretty important inflection point. It didn’t cause a pop culture frenzy, but in NLP circles it was a ‘magical’ improvement.

In linguistics this sort of thinking comes from 'basic color term' theory, which lays out heuristics for deciding if a word for a color in a given language is 'basic'. 2 things going against these blue-green terms are:

* They refer to specific objects (a duck and a stone), eventually these referents can be transcended though, like with the case of orange. * Their frequency is roughly similar to each other (along with cyan, aqua, etc.), so there's no one term for this range (e.g. there's no doubt in a corpus of English that red is the basic color term for its spectrum).

Probably referring to the CHIPs Act? Technically Biden.

This is exactly the process happening in the music space with Suno. Go to their subreddit, they all talk about how they only listen to ‘their’ songs, for the exact reasons you list.

Its bleak out there.

Pontevedra is at least 100 times smaller then NYC, it's more comparable to the suburbs that you're moving your family to.

Generally what people are talking about are his universal grammar or generative syntax theories/approaches, which are foundational to how you approach many topics. Because you build your academic career based on specialization they are hotly contested (for the material reasons of jobs, funding, tenure, etc.).

This leads to people who agree hiring each other and departments ‘circling the wagon’ on these issues. You’ll see this referred to as east vs west coast, but it’s not actually that clearly geographically delineated.

So anyways, these are open questions that people do seriously discuss and study, but the politics of academia make it difficult and unfortunately this often trickles down to students.

Spotify makes over 80% of revenue off of paid subscribers, even though over 60% of users are on the free, ad-supported subscription.

Now that's not some optional donation scheme, there are real tangible benefits to being a paid subscriber, so idk how that could fit into something like Firefox.

Also scala-cli https://scala-cli.virtuslab.org/docs/getting_started

I still like to use Ammonite as a REPL, but scala-cli has replaced it for me in those cases where i get fed up writing bash.

Spotify is mostly Java, with some Scala and Node.

The concepts here apply to any client-server networking setup. Monoliths could still have web clients, native apps, IOT sensors, third party APIs, databases, etc.

They definitely do both, in the public recommendations API you can see vestiges of the old EchoNest acoustic properties along with some new ones they’ve come up with. It’s fun to play around with.

The guy behind Every Noise at Once (engineer at EchoNest/Spotify until the recent layoffs), has some interesting thoughts about this topic:

https://www.furia.com/page.cgi?type=log&id=478

He’s quite biased towards not using ML or acoustic characteristics for recommendations. But even if you disagree it is interesting to hear about how things were working under the curtain (for daylist in this case).

They’ve been pretty open about the pricing strategy on the blog. Earlier this year they said they were losing money on most accounts at $10/month. They’ve since changed the pricing tiers a few times, but it sounds like they’re in a better place now.

60% was just one request on average, could have been a huge payload that tended to be between data centers or something.

SAT score floor + lottery?

He said sea levels could be 20 feet higher in the near future. Which could only be right if we’re talking hundreds of years…

Yep, I’ve had multiple reviews removed for being ‘off-topic’. No recourse there, I tried debating airbnb support for a while on it, but eventually gave up.

Jay Vine recently said in an interview that last year his max hours per week was 30 and that wasn’t training, it was a big week in a grand tour. His coach at least seems to be on a mid 20s hours a week approach.

Jay implied this was a change throughout the peloton, but you can still see old school strategies doing well (Bernal for example does huge volume in base from strava).

Maybe of undergrads at a French university :)

I've used vim's conceal feature to do something like this before to read some ridiculous code that had 16 space indentations. You can use this for all sorts of fun things like making lambda: render as λ. That doesn't use any code analysis, it's just dumb rendering, not sure why you would need anything else?

Not sure what list you’re referring to, but I would expect to find Python and Scala in it, maybe OCaml or Haskell depending on the criteria.

Personally I think it causes more problems in interpreted languages, a lot of those disappear with a compiler with thoughtful error messages like Scala.

Maybe we have different mental models and that’s what drives this conflict? I certainly wouldn’t say that first do this then do that is my primary mental model, in small blocks yes, but once you get past even 1 file that breaks down. Once you introduce threads or the network these assumptions have to go out the window anyways.

It’s funny you mention recipes, because i’ve always been frustrated by traditional recipe descriptions that muddle concurrency and make it difficult to conceptualize the whole process. E.g. the table structure here is superior to step by step http://www.cookingforengineers.com/recipe/158/Dark-Chocolate...

> Yet there are ~ 0 caseless phones out there.

Maybe in your social circles, but I can only think of a few friends that use cases. Screen protectors are more common I think, but you can’t see that at a glance.

I don’t think you can describe at least Sweden and Norway as monocultural. They’ve had waves of immigration since the world wars and I think Sweden had the most immigration per capita in Europe during the Syrian refuge crisis.

That’s not to say it’s a rosy picture of multiculturalism, there has been at least a building up of angst in the minority parties over immigration (and islam).

This uses librespot, not the original library that Spotify published and recently killed. Mopidy is also moving to librespot, but it's complicated with their gstreamer architecture (though I believe its mostly functional at this point).
