Interesting bit at the end:

> As CEO Baek said, the reason for the popularity of virtual humans is that there is no fear that advertisements will be suspended due to unsavory privacy scandals after the AI model is selected as the advertising model. In addition, the location and scene can be created through computer graphics, so the virtual model is not limited in time and space, and unlike real people. The other advantage is that period in which the model can be active is very long or eternal because the virtual human doesn't get sick or grow old.
Software and hardware are factories that manufacture data, so they have the same "warehouse/workshop model" and management methods as the manufacturing industry. so, Software and hardware are a unified architecture: "warehouse/workshop model".

the "Warehouse/Workshop Model" will surely replace the "von Neumann architecture" and become the No. 1 architecture in the computer field, and it is the first architecture to achieve a unified software and hardware. Follower: Apple M1 chip.

On the other side of the coin there's an army of young people dedicating their life to be instagramable.
First reaction: surely there must be a better language to describe algorithms than a made up assembly language.

2nd reaction: holy shit, this is how programmers thought until the 80s.

It is worth working through some of the code until they make sense, but Introduction to Algorithms is much more accessible.

Can't deny the boxes set looks great on a shelf, though.
It's simpler than that - she's a VC and is raging about the fact that Mailchip isn't owned by any VCs.
Yes 'codemiko' looks like a good example of how the future will play out.
I did the same. I wouldn't even notice that it picked the entirely wrong word until I read whatever I wrote back after the fact, usually after I sent the email. Better to just have honest typos that are still the correct word than to lose all meaning with the wrong word.

The worst was when apple rolled out autocorrect for mac OS for some update. I didn't notice it had been automatically turned on for like a month until I read something I wrote and was confused. Shut that off right away too.
Because brigading exists.
Thanks for the advice. I use Go on the backend, but couldn't resist some "fanciness". I embed all the html/css/js/images files into a binary and serve everything from memory. Zero disc reads. It's blazing fast. Also, deploying the entire website becomes painless – scp the binary and restart the process.
I've had this experience too. It doesn't take a lot of template use for both binary size and build time to blow up. When iterating with `make` starts taking over a couple of minutes even on a smallish-medium-sized project, it becomes a bit much.

I didn't do anything fancy like compile-time parser generation. it was overuse of the standard library features, like `std::variant`.
Think you mean defacto :-D
Did Sailor Moon push facial creams?

I held onto my BB10 Z30 as long as I could. It's still the best phone I've ever owned. In the end as apps began to fail, I bought a Sony XA2 Plus and loaded SailfishOS onto it. It's quite good, but if someone resurrected the Z30 or developed an equivalent device I'd be back like a shot.

Incidentally I still use my Z30 regularly, and still love the way it integrates messaging and delivers a consistent user experience across all its apps.
Unnecessary intermediaries should be removed. Especially intermediaries with a horrendous corruption track record that coerce you to let them hold your money. Money that can be printed at will by some people in power is also quite a joke; cryptocurrency provides a new unit of account in addition to a payment system.

I have been a devoted follower of firefox for a long time.

However, recently I have run into a lot of situations where foxfire does not work with some of the apps I need, and chromium based browsers do work. These apps are vital to what I do, and while I prefer firefox for all the usual reasons, I cannot use it. Sad really.
You do have valid points, but again it's all about cost of doing business. Fortunatrly majority of criminals are just people making money and not just crazy who want to watch world burn. So if their ROI is 1000% and they're okay with the risks they still gonna run their shady businesses even if cost of doing business will double or triple.

War on drugs has proven that it's impossible to fight this kind of activity no matter how much resources you throw at it. And running scams / botnets / extortion on internet is way less risky criminal activity than selling drugs.

> The US draws the right balance

Unfortunately it doesn't work like this in most of the world and US isn't about to invite remaining 95% of world population to join the party.

It's not that I support criminals, but majority of crime on internet (not counting actually selling drugs) is either scams, botnets or extortion. IMHO they all can only be solved by combination of educating people better and improving systems security overall.

Instead western government promise to solve crime with surveillance, draconian AML policies and censorship. After all it worked so well in authoritarian countries all around the world. /s
Your comment makes it sound like you're aware of those works that you wish executives would read. Would you mind sharing some?
Yeah because 90% of websites are probably things like static restaurant menu sites.

so WordPress/php makes perfect sense in these cases.
I like the FP syntax in Java 16, rust and clojure.

It usually is the US, China or Russia though; the three have a large number of experts for this. And unless you find an error in the attribution processes, they are most of the time backed up by data that appears plausible, like a server or code fragment
The very first example is a document with metadata like title, author, etc. It's called a "document language".

It seems to be straddling documents and configuration, which in my experience makes for a lot of awkwardness.

This part seems to be a symptom of that:

There are two specifications for writing KDL that can be losslessly translated between it and JSON or XML. These specifications define a stricter subset of KDL that, even if NOT entirely idiomatic, is still valid and fits into the data models of the other two languages: (emphasis mine)

There should just be one endpoint that dumps the entire DB as JSON. The front end guys would love it!

Not creams, exactly. But Sailor Moon has always been heavily merchandised. And the Japanese name is "pretty guardian sailor moon" and she says "moon crystal power make-up" and her transformation tool has the shape of a cosmetic kit and ok I'll stop now.

To be clear, this is just the most superficial stuff. That television series was definitely pushing a certain specific and not at all enlightened standard of female behavior and beauty. Not that I think it should be cancelled on Twitter or anything, but I think it's helpful to criticize the media we consume.
Interesting to read about virtual human on a website with the design that is the next level of evil. Another one which doesn't account that the content can be zoomed in on a desktop too, not just on mobile platforms.
C++ and C have spent $0 on marketing and are more popular, so I don't think this is a good indicator of success.
Is there a guide on how to do this with sites that are paywalled? For example how do I use this with NYT or WSJ? And any tricks on identifying the main content? Or do you just have to deal with that being different for each site? How do the reader modes in browsers do it?
Right? If you genuinely enjoyed it, hey, that's great. Not every book is for everyone. Have at it. Everybody's got different tastes.

But to go up there on a pedestal and mark it as one of the great literary achievements of the past 400 years and anybody who disagrees otherwise is a rube...Come on now.
OOP was still considered a difficult class at my college before I graduated a couple of years ago.
My anecdotal experience was also that corporal punishment worked ... until I grew too old for it.

Having spent my formative years being motivated by avoiding beatings, rather than seeking praise, made it very difficult to adjust to adulthood in a world that relies on positive reinforcement for motivation.

For every "...and I turned out just fine", there are many who didn't. Your "memories of violence" aren't the alternative to "being medicated for life", they're often the very cause of it.
It's a comforting thought, but I can assure you the poor have virtually nobody lobbying on their behalf. Not having disposable income and all.

"Artificial intelligence" comes to mind even if what I see from that field is more like advanced pre-trained models, incapable of learning the slightest thing from its failures or successes on its own.

"It's everybody" just does not capture reality.

I got a tax benefit semi-recently by buying an electric car, about $7500. It was the largest I've ever gotten. Compare that to one small crumb of Trump's tax deductions that was covered by the New York Times. A $70k tax deduction for hair styling.

It's just not the same. Wealth gives you an outsized influence on politics, which lets you accumulate more wealth, at a faster rate than those poorer than you.

Lack of prevention.
Don't forget that during the 2000 election, Dick Cheney was put in charge of deciding who should be Bush's VP running mate. And he chose Dick Cheney.
So the biggest complexity is in terms of capital investments as opposed to income.

Basically if you are paid money and put that money in the bank, you pay yearly income taxes on the income the money earns.

If you are instead given a bunch of stock shares, you don't pay taxes on the stock when the price goes up, only when it's sold, which leads to all sorts of possible ways to side step paying taxes, or put them off and then paying them in a lump sum, or paying interest on loans secured with the stock, where the loan isn't considered income for tax purposes, etc.

Peopleware has been around for a while by now and continues to get as much praise as it did.
Not really.

I must have read about how humility is an unsung leadership skill in dozens of books and articles.

There's nothing new in the world, everything has been written about thousands of times. Rehashes on top of rehashes.

I humbly submit this factual observation.
Such strong praise, in a just tangential enough comment, reeks of marketing to me.
The classes at CMU in SML provide some alternative "facts". FP != Haskell. If you start with FP, OOP seems weird and vice versa. My guess it is just our wetwares' expectations being violated.
If we don't already have it now, it's only a matter of time before we have a combination of deep-fake AIs with conversational AIs which can break a voice call mid-stream and begin influencing the conversation in a particular direction. Think of it like a man-in-the-middle attack.

Our intelligence agencies would be absolutely stupid not to work on this. Any voice communication channel you can intercept, you can influence, and you can use the trust established with vocal familiarity to enable you assume the influence level of one or both of the speakers. The key would be training the AI to know when to alter the conversation and when to let it pass through.
Nice, i actually played through its two levels twice (they are simplified recreations of the E1M1 and E1M2 though the second level has a few differences).

It is interesting to see how the levels are basically made up of axis aligned cubes which simplifies collision detection and response considerably.

The textures are also made using procedural generation using a tool (and library) the author made[0]. I think a "blur rect" and "blur and map result to existing colors" would help a lot with the aesthetic. Also the editor would benefit from a "duplicate step" option too.

I don't have the math at hand but I'm pretty sure at the rate the blockchain is growing and the rate that disk space cost is decreasing, this should not be an issue for quite a few years. I do agree that it will eventually be a problem; at some point, all blockchains will have to move to layer 2 solutions for real scaling.
The reason why direct sales are illegal has nothing to do with that, it's because dealerships lobbied for a law that would preserve their industry and got it.
Same. There was a time when Nokia's Lumia series with Windows Phone OS was all the rage in India - and for good reason. They were really good phones at incredible price points, their only drawback was that the number of apps on offer in the Windows Phone Store was very limited.

I wonder why they stopped making them. Later in life I passed my phone (I had the Lumia 520) on to my grandmother - and it was great because Windows OS had those HUGE app tiles that made it very easy for senior citizens to use them.

edit: changed Lumia 510 to 520

The decision is not yet public, nor have any of the six FEC commissioners, who are split equally along party lines, released any statements about it that could shed light on their reasoning.

All other text is filler speculation without evidence.
I'd been using Firefox ever since the Phoenix days. And somehow, sometime, I moved to Chrome like everyone did... until I had enough of Google, and came back to Firefox right at the start of the Quantum days. Haven't left since.

Firefox is a really good browser (at least on Linux, even though the lack of HW-acceleration on NVIDIA cards is a pain) made even greater with best-in-class uBlock Origin support, and of course piroor's Tree Style Tab. Containers are also a great feature (I containerize Google, Facebook, Amazon and Twitter properties in their own silo). Tab unloaders (I don't remember which I'm currently using) is also a good idea to reduce memory usage (even though with 32 GB I have NEVER run into issues)

I've been rocking it and a custom user stylesheet to hide the tabs on top, reorder and customize the address bar to be tighter, have more contrast; and the whole UI to be black (I use the dark variant of Adwaita all day on my desktop). Having an ultrawide display, I have plenty of horizontal space. Here's an screenshot if that interests you: https://imgur.com/a/8PEKED5

Edit: How could I have missed that?! Picture-in-picture is incredibly good as well! I use it daily, mainly to watch a YT video on the side while continuing to browse the web. They even added multiple PIP windows a while back, which is a god-send when I watch livestreams such as a rocket launches (eg. official livestream in one window, and EverydayAstronaut's in another)
No, I'd go it by this: decide a reasonable number for each page to make request for. Let's say it's N. For all the pages in your app divide them into N pieces. There might be elements that are repeated in all pages (like navbar) so even with very low N like N=3 you can save a lot of redundancy. E.g. divide all pages into navbar, content, bottom content. Now you have a single /navbar/ and /bottom/ apis and then for each page /pageHome/ /pageHistory/ /pageX/ etc...
> Yet public safety is rather low. Public school is bad.

Those sound like complaints for the local government. The federal government doesn’t generally have control over local schools or state/local law enforcement.

I also think you’re grossly over estimating the number of Silicon Valley engineers making >$500k/yr and that it’s a stretch to call it a SV engineer tax.

> But remember that I mentioned different APIs talked with CloudKit differently?

As this sentence is the cause of most the bugs in the post I begin to question how they implemented their gateway so that a different endpoint results in a totally different authorization scope. That just screams „auth bug“.
On desktop you may need to adjust the browser window size until it's portrait aspect ratio. On windows I snap it to half the screen. In landscape the app shows the extended forecast.

Basically F gives more precise info/digit for the temperature ranges humans experience. 99F is near the top of the range, while 99C is unheard of for weather on Earth. So F gives approximately twice the precision. To get the same precision in C you have to add decimals
Anyone with more knowledge know how much of this is BS?

She has 60k followers on Instagram which (even if all real) isn't that much. Certainly not anywhere big enough to make 800k a year that the creator claims he plans on making.

They say they have 100 sponsorships but this seems like a marketing statement...influencers all the time talk about how popular they are and I don't see why we should trust the creator of AI influencer more.

I don't see any major brands on her Instagram though I'm not South Korean so maybe I'm missing something - but more likely explanation seems to be that he has partnered with a few companies for a pittance and is overhyping his creation to get more money in.
Sounds like Frank grew tired of the project a bit and was happy to just let it be since it's mostly feature complete. Should have probably looked for a new maintainer, I'm pretty sure lots of people would have been happy to take it. And now Frank has passed away; the remaining core members (are there any?) should look for new heirs.

I think they might be getting at what I've seen called a 'trimmed mean'. Its actually a pretty useful statistic for something like latency, because with an average you can see changes in the distribution within the percentile, as opposed to a simple percentile.

But that's a wrong way to collect it, they should aggregate at the end.

No it's bullshit.
Like most laws its not rooted in logic but a byproduct of historical business decisionmaking.

When car companies got their start, it was difficult to scale what we know dealerships do today: advertising, service, sales, inventory management, order management. It was cheaper for ford to use a dealer and have them worry about these things, than to perform their own local market analysis for things like advertising and operate their own dealership.

Eventually, dealerships saw that the writing was on the wall, and that one day these auto manufacturers would become large enough to operate their own dealerships themselves. They ended up lobbying for a law that made direct car sales illegal, and won, codifying their industry into law.
Great story and a cautionary tale for me. That dad sounds like a real asshat.
