Death Stranding's casting in particular is interesting because it features his friends Guillermo del Toro and Nicolas Winding Refn in prominent roles, but just their body scans which are being puppeted and voiced by different performers.

Rust for Linux Kernel v9 Patches Trim Things Down Greatly for Easier Upstreaming
See, this is a case where they went for the bombastic headline and in the process hid away a really cool achievement.

So basically they created some sort of general purpose math library, that can automatically detect the type of problem, find the correct library to solve it, and input the right inputs to get the right output. That is all very impressive and would be a great product actually, if refined.

No need for the bullshit headline.
While I agree that #1 and #2 are the biggest drivers for acquiring Roomba, I find it hard to imagine Amazon executives not actively discussing in-home robotics as a vector for increased data collection. It might be a few years out, but it will happen.
I think you missed the point of the article. In fact, the article specifically covers catching panics, so it doesn't bring down the entire application. As well as covering when panic is okay. It doesn't say you should just unwrap everything and treat panic as error handling.

Masayoshi Son ‘ashamed’ of focus on profits – SoftBank logs record $23bn loss
> Huge losses at SoftBank’s flagship Vision Funds will force the company to begin “dramatic” cost-cutting after plunging technology valuations and a weak yen drove Masayoshi Son’s embattled conglomerate into a record ¥3.1tn ($23bn) quarterly net loss.

> In a press conference that Son himself described as “depressing”, he admitted that his famously aggressive global investment strategy should have been more selective, adding: “I am ashamed of myself for being so elated by big profits in the past.”

I think you’re conflating 2 different things.

You mention adjusting tactics and strategies, even goals, based on circumstances. This is what “playing the cards you have” is. You do what you can with what you’ve got.

Giving up before you start doesn’t help because it’s a shut down. You don’t even get to the part of assessing viability and weighing risk.

The point is that if you want a change on whatever dimension you choose to care about, you have to do something. What that something is depends on the cards you have. How far it can take you again depends on circumstances.

And it’s fine to not want to do things. Or see the costs and decide that kind of life is not for you. But at least you took the time to evaluate.
I don't see any underestimation of the fax in the piece. I think commenters here are dramatically underestimating the fax, to the point that I'm not entirely sure Krugman was as wrong as he seems to be.

I mean, from an economic or productivity perspective, it's not clear to me that the internet does mean more than the fax machine did, especially by the 2005 deadline. The fax machine was world-changing.

It's a constant cat-and-mouse game. When I worked in this space (2019-2021), the best defense against deep fakes was looking at the microfacial behavior/kinematics of the "puppetmaster" and comparing against known standards of the deepfake subject. Works even if the fake is pixel-perfect (since it looks at the facial "wireframe" rather than the image itself). The obvious downside is you need sample data of the subject (and usually tons of it). I wonder if that general approach can be optimized. E.g. Deep fakes tend to struggle with certain fine movement/detail, if you had a reflection of the subject, the algorithm would have to not just replicate the main face and the mirror, but also be completely optically consistent.

Was a fun project, but the cat-and-mouse feeling was inescapable.
For those curious, look up the DARPA MediFor project. Siwei Lyu (in the article) did a bunch of work in this space. Also see Hany Farid and Shruti Agarwal. They've worked specifically with deep fake detection.

I'm not anxious about it. It's just not pleasant to see. There are some painters like Dali (I assume Dall-E is not by accident) or Bosch who had created kinda similar "products" but to me they are interesting and fun to look at.

"As a reminder, 99% of the marketcap (value) of a startup is its growth, not its present size/revenue/etc. By mathematical definition, a startup cannot fund fast-enough growth on current profits and therefore requires financing and a lot of it."

Autodesk did. Initial investment was $60K by the founders, and the company was profitable early on.[1] No VCs were involved. There were discussions with some VCs, and they were very funny. "In addition, the overall flavour of the deal seemed to us totally inappropriate for a company which was, at the time of these negotiations, generating sales equal to the size of the deal every month and generating after-tax profits close to the size of the deal every quarter." The VCs assumed they had a stronger bargaining position than they did.

The VC involved turned down a deal to invest about $500K for 10% of the company.
Autodesk's market cap today is $47 billion.

> The mistake here is believing that whoever has the loudest voice on the Internet best represents the party. The opposite is true, and, of course, the logic doesn't work anyways: it's always easier to be louder than it is to be persuasive. It's a strange thing to admit that you're willing to concede your personal understanding of some issue to whoever says the loudest, dumbest things about it.

It's not unreasonable through. There's an element of economy there, an element of trust, and an element of movement. People don't have infinite time available to search for some needle you claim is there. Then let's say you found that needle on page 97 of the platform or a comment in some speech: can you trust it, or is it insincerity fishing for some extra votes? It's also not like the party is standing still: today it might be officially against X, but very soon it might be for it or something like it.

That's why it's important to be loud. As an outsider, if the loudest voices on an issue in your coalition are unrepresentative but not put in their place, it makes it hard to trust the official position is true or will be maintained when it matters. If those voices are loudly and officially rebuked, the consequences and implications of that can build some trust in the official position, as well as making it easy to discover.
>MGSV flashed his name at least five times on every load and every mission before it let me start anything

It's meant to be like a tv series, just like how Game of Thrones or The Wire flashes the directors name before an episode.

Just how MGS 3 was meant to be a James Bond style movie so starts with a female vocalist singing a overly passionate ballad. They're stylistic elements from cinema, and in that case TV he's bringing to gaming to set a tone.

The comment I responded to was talking about safety critical systems:

> This is especially important given the update system in the car isn't limited to just the infotainment, pretty much every software system in the car can be updated during an OTA update, including the battery management system, ABS, safety systems

Also, I'd say that even the entertainment system is still safety relevant. Arbitrarily changing the UI on something that is meant to be used while driving is a terrible idea. At the very least, whether and when those changes are applied should be under control of the owner and able to be rolled back. Surprises like needing to figure out how to turn on the defrost kill a driver's OODA loop.

I don't disagree with anything you said but I'd add that a degree can be very useful to improve your skills, even as a self-taught programmer.

I learned programming in middle-school and could program fairly easily in a couple languages by the time I got to college. But college forced me to learn things I didn't want to learn. When you're self-taught you tend to gravitate towards things that are interesting to you. There are many aspects of computer science (CS) that I find boring and never would have explored by myself. My degree in CS forced me to learn a lot of theory as well as a few enterprise languages and low-level languages that I would never have wanted to spend time on otherwise, but brought me a lot of maturity as a software engineer.

This sort of moral principle is easy to apply in extreme scenarios, but most decisions are not so clear cut: a lot of engineers don’t have complete agency in choosing where they work, and a lot of engineers work on dual-use technology with plausible ethical use. As an example, if we assume Facebook is 100% evil (debatable but let’s go with it), then did the developers of React act unethically because their work furthered Facebook’s goals, or ethically because React is morally neutral (or even positive, as Free software) and it was other engineers who put it to evil uses?

And furthermore, even nuclear bombs had a plausible ethical use (end the war sooner).

The fact is, you'll never be able to recreate a truck from the 1980s because crash safety measures are much, much stricter than they used to be so the form factor of that era is not going to return.

The dirty secret is that infotainment additions have an outsized impact on consumer demand (better, fancier infotainment is a huge plus) for the cost paid. Due to all the new things needed to comply with current regulations, you'll have little uptake on the super low end model with no infotainment or fancy features if the price difference to the fancy screen version is commiserate with the price paid by the manufacturer. Also, as already mentioned in other posts, it may be at cost-parity due to the higher demand of the fancier trim model.

Looks cool, but using it from another mobile device is very slow. Or maybe it's latency to the servers hosting the emulators, I'm not sure. Is there a way to see the ping time?
Agreed. I fell in love with blitzbasic/blitz3D, and when cross-platform blitzmax came out I jumped there as well. When monkey came out with mobile and html5 support, I thought my dream had come true. I jumped the syntax hurdles and started prototyping, but then the community started getting weird. Then one day it seemed to just stop.
Bridge is a weird game in that the actual play of the hand is almost unimportant. You can lose the game by playing the hand badly, but you can only win consistently in the bidding.

Which is why abstract and complicated bidding systems dominate the game, which gives it that lovely, steep initial learning curve.
A while back, I realized that my machine learning projects each contained a subproject dedicated to recording what the heck I was doing, scattered throughout the actual training code. Sometimes this manifested as awful json files full of hyperparameters being passed around, other times long as saving weights to long paths like "timestamp/regularizer/learning_rate/weights.trch." Sometimes this subproject didn't mature in time, and I accidentally overwrote hard-earned weight files or figures because they were just at fixed paths.

Eventually, I settled on a standard for recording hyperparameters: the best thing to do is just commit my hyperparameters to the git repo, and save git hashes alongside experiment artifacts. Of course, I am imperfect, and I found that I would sometimes start training without committing my changes. An easy fix- save the output of git diff too. Eventually everything else got packratted too- package versions, which computer we're running on, which virtual environment, command line args, etc. For the last couple years, whenever I found myself saying "Dang, I could reproduce this result if only I knew X", I threw X into footsteps.

The final piece of the puzzle is naming the folder where we shove all this stuff, along with the weights / figures / etc. Timestamp is cryptic, choosing which hyperaprameter is important enough to go in the name is GAI- the only answer is to ask the user to name their experiment. Much like git messages, this seems like a burden- the only real burden footsteps imposes, I'd argue- but it's worth it for finding the experiment you're looking for. I added tab completion to make it easier to just input a small change to the name of the last experiment, and disambiguation (tacking -1, -2, -3 on the end) to prevent overwriting old experiments if you get especially uncreative.

Now, it's packaged up and easy for you to use too! Heavily tested on windows and linux; conda, venv, and raw python, seems to work on my mac, available on pypi.

"Come out" could mean different things in different contexts. Deepfake defence context is analogous to something like: there are cars on public roads with no driver at the wheel. And this is already true in multiple places in the world.
