Pretty good name for it tbh.

+1. It works perfectly if your mental model is:

“Every file is only ever written to from a single client, and will be asynchronously made available to all other clients, and after some period of time has elapsed you can safely switch to always writing to the file from a different client”.


Yep. See e.g. steam cloud saves, which is literally just Dropbox for your video game save files. Bidi sync is a super common pattern if you look for it, I'm surprised at all the hate it's getting here.

Bidirectional file sync is also in hot demand from people who don't know the words, "file", "client", "write", "async", "available", or "time"

:P


The fact that lay people can and will use a tool incorrectly does not mean said tool is not useful

The poems are pretty good too.

+1. Think of it like a consulting shop that can deliver customized software instead of just slide decks and excel workbooks.


And going the other direction, if you want your C++ binaries to benefit from statistics about how to optimize the steady-state behavior of a long-running process, the analogous technique is profile-guided optimization (PGO).


You may know this already, but the different FreeCiv clients are pretty different from each other. It's been a couple of years since I've played FreeCiv, but IIRC the QT client was the nicest at that time.


Yeah, so that's another lesson I learnt during the early phases. I've been using the gtk4 client personally, but someone else suggested the QT client. I do think the QT client is a bit better, but it is broken in different ways too.

It's really confusing to me why there's so many frontends for this one app. I'm tempted to switch to the web interface next time, but figured for now figuring out how to mange the server was enough of a problem without taking on the responsibility for the client people were using at the same time.


> The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is preparing a proposal to scrap the requirement for companies to report their earnings every quarter and giving them the option to share results twice a year

So, at least twice a year would still be mandatory until this change.


Why not use an easier to detect wake “word”, like two claps in quick succession? Or a couple of notes of a melody?


Can't clap if your hands are full and I would not subject my family to my attempts at delivering a melody.

I haven't tried training my own wake word though, I'm tempted to see if it improves things.


Personally I'd pick "Cthulhu"

What about whistling?


Is this something where you could pay a "consulting fee" to the previous key engineer to login and remove the MFA?

I know that that's not ideal, but as a practical matter perhaps it would be easier than creating a new account, if you can get the engineer to agree to it?


This looks quite cool.

The project name is obvious to anyone who speaks Chinese, but for everyone else: “zi2zi” means ”字 to 字” or “character to character”, which describes the use of style transfer.

It also makes total sense that the model produces “worse” results when reproducing seal script (an ancient script), because seal script has a lot of variant components that don’t match modern regular script.

(The seal script image: https://github.com/kaonashi-tyc/zi2zi-JiT/blob/main/assets/g... )

Perhaps it would make sense to use an existing seal script font as the content reference when generating seal script output? Maybe this was done and the model is just not tuned for it?


Yes, for seal script, there are simply not that many fonts one can tune against.

The content encoder, the structure prior in this model is based on SongTi(SourceHans Serif), seal script would be foreign to it
