All sound is vibration, so everything is affected by sound at some point as the vibrations propagate through and physically move around materials. Humans can hear because the audible frequency range moves receptors in human inner ears, and as you can imagine this isn't local to the ear, the whole brain will be affected (but biology has accounted for this). If you knock on wood that sound is audible in many frequencies--below human audible, audible and also above human audible (what we call 'ultrasound'). What is more dangerous generally is sustained noise at any frequency; lower frequency + high amplitude is one of the most harmful as that can physically push you.

The reconnect thing is actually quite helpful for mobile use cases. Say the user switches the tab, closes their browser or loses network and then they return. Since SSE is stateless from the client's perspective, the client can just reconnect and continue receiving messages. Whereas with WS there's handshakes to worry about--and also other annoyances like what to do with pending requests before connection was lose.

They reopened with formal understanding that there will be an executive order tomorrow to suspend the enforcement of the ban. That is a big deal and it's something that they can point to to defend themselves in court should that happen. When President Biden signed the bill, it gave him the ability to extend the deadline by an amount which he declined to do (beyond saying "I'll let Trump admin deal with it"); and soon-to-be President Trump is saying he will do it tomorrow.

The Biden administration signed the thing into law. Of course they need to comply. And people are acting as if somehow TikTok decided to self-ban and have now un-banned. No, it's only those with the app already installed that are able to continue to use it. It's still blocked on the app stores, and will presumably stay that way until tomorrow.

If I want to run what someone else has determined as "malware" on my computer, as far as I'm concerned, I should have the absolute right to do it. Same for spyware. Why? Because I don't want the government to make the determination for what is right or wrong for me on my own property. If the US government wants to block apps on their property, then they can go ahead and do that. But the moment it extends to my own property, it's quite ridiculous to think people are going to bend over backwards and comply with what's good for you. Especially in the context of some vague national security threat, why am I supposed to be subversive to the CIA?

How can you complain about the CCP banning foreign social media and censoring when you have your own government willing to do the same thing -- in the name of Protecting the Democracy?

It's not about privacy or data or whatever the facade is. The crime that we are committing is none other than allowing ourselves to be fed information that could threaten the United States. So, therefore, even according to the SCOTUS, if Congress plasters the magical words "national security" in their laws, then the Constitution takes a backseat and we too can be like China/Russia/Iran. Will we start banning VPNs next--which circumvent our new found love for censorship? I'd not be surprised.

> made them vote together across party lines

Ha, is that uniparty vote supposed to be something meaningful? If the government had true concerns, they could 1) be aired to the public and 2) other senators like Thomas Massie and Rand Paul would not be speaking against the ban.

People can change their views and minds. It's only a problem when you lie and pretend you didn't. Pres Biden signed the law and could suspend it now if he wanted, but he chose not to do it as it'd be contradictory to his own signing. And of course soon-to-be President Trump will get the credit for reverting it. Nobody cares about the details beyond those invested into politik.

Not talked about beyond heat is maintenance. When things fail, who are you going to send up to fix things? Is it never going to fail, or are they planning to throw away big components or are there going to need to be servicing missions?

Bluesky isn’t a centralized service, the developers cannot themselves comply with judicial orders (any of them).

They can get rid of apps and block websites that they want, which is basically what they’re doing right now.

Yes and appeal to whom? Himself, who’s clearly shown himself to be a partisan? Why even need an executive when your judiciary can basically unilaterally function as executive be a legislator in one? Obviously they’re is not the US, but that’s not an excuse to a ridiculous system.

There is much more story that you’re either uninformed about or willfully ignoring. The correct move was to remove people from harms way for decisions they have no control over, hence their staff exit from the country.

This is actually really cool. I can see the usages in textarea and inputs but also even in plain HTML documents for large code formatting. No need for exploding the DOM with tons of spans and other HTML tags, if you can have the hardware accelerated font rendering software take care of everything. I’d imagine that would save lots of memory and CPU.

A simple equation to approximate it is `memory_in_gb = parameters_in_billions * (bits/8)`

So at 32 bit full precision, 70 * (32 / 8) ~= 280GB

fp16, 70 * (16 / 8) ~= 140GB

8 bit, 70 * (8 / 8) ~= 70GB

4 bit, 70 * (4 / 8) ~= 35GB

However in things like llama.cpp quants sometimes it's mixed so some of the weights are Q5, some Q4, etc, so you usually want to take the higher number.

Obviously because the world revolves around US politics. What else could there be to talk about beyond politics.

Had the same first thought (:
