I would imagine that you generate the desired transform function of a diffractive structure rather than the structure itself, because the structure is ultimately derived from the transform function. Since the transform function is basically a 2D fourier transform and a spatial frequency/phase plot, it's not _that_ computationally costly. Once you settle on functions you like, you then generate and or simulate a diffractive structure and see if it behaves how you expect.
I hadn't thought about it until just now, but soundtrack music has been so terrible for the last 15-20 years that it's one area AI might genuinely be much better than what we've got now. Be hard to do worse, anyway. Studios and producers don't want to pay for good music anymore, so maybe they can get so-so AI music for cheap, and at least it'll be better than the crap they're using now.

According to this (and other) articles, buried inside is the fact that it isn't "Drought-stricken" or "Western" states that are getting less water.

Specifically, it's Arizona and Nevada who are getting less water. California can still take its usual amount (which is why it was not possible to make a "deal" -- California wouldn't participate in the negotiations in good faith since it knew that their pals in DC would punish the less politically-loyal states rather than them should a deal not materialize)

How are these systems trained to make sure they're not polluted with images created by AI already?

I can see how it's semi-easy to have a database of images up to a certain date (before AI generating algo existed), but what about if you want to train the AI with modern data?

For example, say if I want to query, in 2035: "Flying hippos in the style of McGrundsBulle" where McGrundsBulle is an artist who only started producing art in 2025... How is the AI then not going to trained with "flying hippos" generated between now and 2035 by AI like DALL-E 2 / midjourney / etc.?

I'd argue it wouldn't make sense to train better AIs using current AI's generated pictures for many of them are the stuff of nightmares and it doesn't seem to be because they've been trained by nightmarish datasets. They're just creepy due to how the current AI works and many details are obviously off, which makes them very creepy to humans.
What area would it take to produce several GW that a few reactors would produce?

In clear weather, a surface perpendicular to the sunlight gets about 1 kW / m². So 1 GW would take a square kilometer. If our solar cells are top-notch 25% efficient cells, 1 GW will take 4 km² at best weather. And we need many multiples of that.

Verily, Sahara must be the best place for such an oil factory. Maybe some of the US Midwest and West, with many sunny days. And, unlike the cute pictures on the side, they will need to be massive, all the way to the horizon.

Maybe with a few nuclear plants thrown in if we learn to build them efficiently again.

With the development of AI, it's been quite an experience to see artists grasping the fact that their craft is not the magical thing they think it is.
It was VB, Access and Sharepoint heavy marketed by MS evangelist drones as primary LOB tools just before Windows.NET
The next .CLOUD or .AI frameworks is probably on its way in minds of board of directors. Microsoft is great in producing APIs and frameworks thats not last. And drones will happy to explain how powerful and simple things now.
There will be fuel, but more costly in short term, it could be that the limit is already here.

Russia invaded Ukraine because of the gas found in Crimea. If Ukraine can get Crimea back, there's not much reason for Russia to invade.

Worst case scenario is that it takes 4 years to fix ( starting from June). But this is hurting Russia more than Europe. Russia has no alternative economy any more than natural resources.

There are geographical limitations with Russia claiming to change exports to others, since it's false.

The pipelines/ source supplying China is not the same even as the one's supplying Europe.

And yeah, they pay a lot less => a lot less profit for Russia. Which needs to sell cheap to their allies ( eg. Csto )

And once Europe ( especially Germany) switched to LPG ( takes some time), Russia loses its future.
This is awesome. Is it open source?
Yup, Go is great. It's simple and fast. There are great libraries and it's a lot of fun.
It also pushed art to the niche. Painted images explicitly for children has been a massive industry for decades- also one that mature AI generative art could absolutely dominate.

I'd love to see this technology aimed at concept art for games. I don't think this would hurt employed concept artists, I do think it will be a tool concept artists can use to quickly thumbnail significantly more versions of a vision.

That artist will then refine the results into something supremely engaging to humans.

Really I see this as an incredible tool for artists to help refine truly innovative ideas.
Heh, unfortunately "update my rendering post to cover React 18" has been on my todo list for _months_ now :)

As in, I literally have a todo list entry that I keep bumping back until "Next Sunday", because other stuff is higher priority. (like, trying to get Redux Toolkit 1.9 wrapped up and shipped... and also playing as much golf as possible while the weather is decent :) )

The shortest answer is that it's still effectively the same - the one major change is that React 18 will now batch _all_ updates in _any_ given event loop tick, regardless of whether those were queued up inside a React event handler or not.

There's a good discussion on this in the React 18 Working Group post on "Automatic Batching":

> I think most of the value proposition of food delivery is for people who can't do the drive.

This. If you live alone and can't drive, it's a nice to have option for some variety. I never thought I'd use DoorDash, Grubhub, etc. for the reasons you mention; then, I lost my right foot. I'm not yet to the point where I can drive a modified vehicle; so, I sometimes use them. (The same thing applies for grocery delivery service.) Most of the time, though, I order from a pizzeria or Chinese place which have their own delivery drivers.

> Apple's refusal to implement modern APIs like Vulkan is childish

No, it makes perfect sense. Metal is a nice, compact, and easy API. This is one of the reasons that allowed them to get out the M1 in the first place, because they could reuse all the work on Metal for iOS. Why would they try to accommodate the shit show that is Vulkan? And why would they try to appease people who really want Linux, not macOS?

Personally though, I am turning away from Apple when it comes to programming. It is just becoming too insular. It is great if you want to only reach people in Apple land, the tools (like Swift and Metal) are pretty nice. But in the end, web tools are also very nice these days, and your reach is just so much bigger. It is great to see your software running on a £150 Chromebook!

why? is this not the primary way to re-init expensive internal component state when specific props change?
It does help to have used the basics to understand the benefits of a full framework. But learning things bottom-up isn't suitable for everybody.

As for web components, I'd rather not. Nothing about it works for me. Not the class-based decorator syntax. Not the CSS scoping. Not the use of custom elements. The prop syntax is awful and the paradigm just feels cumbersome.

I work with Angular (its component model is close enough) and have read the Lit docs. Never will I choose that option.

> What good is tactile feedback when you have no idea what you're adjusting without staring at the screen?

This is what people don't understand about touchscreen vs dial-based UIs. One is not safer than the other if they both require you to take your eyes off the road and look at a screen!

If car makers want to have a button control a feature, then they should simply make a button that controls that feature. Cars worked that way for many years. Buttons, dials, or trackpads that move a cursor or select items on a screen are slower than touch-based UIs, require at least as much driver attention, and are less ergonomic than just putting your finger on the exact item you want.
Car-based SUVs are not like trucks. All of the full size trucks sold in NA have SUV counterparts also on the road, and they are exactly like trucks.

For example, the Wagoneer is the SUV version of the RAM.

The Suburban and Tahoe are the SUV versions of GM trucks.

The Land Cruiser, Sequoia, and Lexus LX are the same platform as the Tundra.

Etc.

Automakers don’t do one-off light trucks. They are all shared platforms.
Indeed meetups and conferences are great to create connections. People in the tech industry are generally super friendly and eager to help. There are also a lot of initiative to help underrepresented demographics to enter the industry. Your partner fits the box.

At a school level, we would do this by having a network of mentors; industry-professional who are interested in coaching the next generation of software engineers. A lot of them would recommend students for interviews and internships. We would also have relations with companies and send resumés to them. Some companies were so eager to hire our students that they would interview any of those who wanted to apply.

As a long time theatre professional, all theatre is non professional. Or rather, it's not a business, and therefore there's not an avenue to success.

All theatre, even (and especially) Broadway exists only because rich people funnel free money into it. Regionally as donors, and on Broadway as "investors" who almost never make a return.

It is a rich people's hobby and for those who do make a career out of it, it's lottery winning odds to be middling comfortable. One percent of one percent become well off.

You may also notice, as an audience member, that it is almost universally terrible entertainment. It just sort of shuffles on through the centuries with an occasional Hamilton and lots and lots of wealthy networking opportunities.

Definitely use a real email address parser if it’s available, easy and/or you’re dealing with unknown email addresses. But absent any strange circumstances there’s also nothing wrong with basic string manipulation if it’s done properly (e.g. split on @ and test for an exact string match, case insensitive). As personal preference, I’d choose that over regexp.

It's awesome. Thanks for this. I kinda-sorta understood how it worked from watching logs of systems that used Raft, but seeing it clearly like this made me say "oooh!" a couple of times.
Part of it is: "What are you programming?"

Phone development is a continuous slog through ever-changing APIs. An older programmer hardly helps here. In fact, this is probably one of the few places where I might agree that younger programmers are better--it takes an enormous amount of energy to keep up with phone programming changes and that's something that youngsters have aplenty.

Web programming is a similar treadmill except for the fact that you can opt-out. If the client demands some fad technology, well, then experience doesn't matter. If the client simply wants a solution, then experience can be a godsend. I've watched a couple experienced programmers deliver amazing web solutions really fast--they used well-trod, boring technology that they knew very well.

Embedded programming simply demands greybeards. I haven't seen an embedded project yet that succeeded if it didn't have a majority of people with 15+ years of experience and couple above 25+ years. So much will go wrong that it's more important to design around the failure modes up front--and you have to have been around the block a couple of time to understand what those are in order to avoid them.
My question is, how portable is the lua code written for redbean to a GNU/Systemd environment running something like LuaJIT or whichever interpreter would be more compatible. Forgive my lack of knowledge of the lua ecosystem, and not checking out more of the redbean docs.

Cheaper electricity pushes the market to favor electric heating over gas. The cost of switching from a gas furnace to an electric one will be worth it if gas becomes more expensive and electricity cheaper.

If you fix a bug that currently causes few crashes but would later on turn out to cause big issues, and you see that outcome in advance, then it would in fact be smart wouldn't it?

> ...a young single employee living in the city who also dates and socializes in the city, and has a short commute to a nice office and has a social experience...

> The first group of young employees NEED the socialization. It's an important part of generating company culture. It's also usually a low cost effort for them to commute.

The young single employee will probably not afford to live in a big city and have a short commute.
Have you noticed that young people use music less and less as a signalling device? That is to say they care far less about whether or not the music is cool and signals their affinity to some kind of subculture... and more about whether or not they just like the sound.

This is because access to music has become cheap. Discovery of music has become cheap. Signalling behaviours though rely on the costliness of signalling through a particular medium. Costly signalling is the theoretical framework you want here to understand what is going to happen to art if the tech is as good as it is currently being hyped.

We like to think of art as this inherently communicative act - as the author says. But the main psychological motivation is signalling. We would not waste so much energy as a species on such behaviour if it didn't have some kind of evolutionary benefit. So I expect much of the energy that goes into the artistic signalling medium will be redirected toward more costly mediums.
Yes. And will use again.

appears to be a degree of truth in the idea that US residents have a cultural aversion to two-wheeled transport

No there isn't. People have jobs to go to and there isn't much public transportation, it gets cold, snows and people need to use the highways. People need to have a car so they already have a car and that's why scooters are usually something people buy for fun and not neccesity.

> but also a stopgap as Ford resets its entire software strategy around Android in partnership with Google.

This doesn’t seem like a good idea because there are Android people and iOS people. Alienating a large swath of customers is not a good idea.

That and I don’t want Google monitoring all my car data. One of the big reasons I don’t have a Tesla is their data policy. But I’d rather Tesla have my data than Google because at least it won’t be linked to everything else about me.

Also, I want to drive cars for 10 or 20 years. Google has never maintained Android for that long.

I’d rather just have an embedded os written and maintained by ford (that doesn’t suck).

In English law, if it’s dishonest, it’s fraud. The pizza shop owner’s conduct was plainly dishonest by the standards of “ordinary decent people”. Where was this, anyway? What’s the local standard? Probably a variation of exactly the same.

I like DoorDash’s chances on this.

is correct expect it was someone else who wrote an "substantial amount of complicated C++ written without much thoughts about performance" and now i "want to improve performance".
I do like where this is going! Grid demand fluctuates during the day by quite a bit. You have to have "peaker" generation above base load to efficiently utilize your grid and respond to dynamic conditions (especially things like equipment failures).

Heavy investment in nuclear could create a grid with such cheap energy we can use all the excess capacity for fuel synthesis along with renewables.

With the performance of this and other EVs now beating the Raptor pickup, do you think we’ll start to see performance regulated for safety reasons? A massive pickup able to 0-60 in a few seconds is cool, but in the hands of the less responsible it sounds like a huge safety risk. We cap the performance of tiny scooters but multiton trucks are able to go as fast as humanly possible?

For me, Sync only worked well to make phone calls ("Call Joe")

And during a brief period, I also had a windows phone, where you could say "Call Cortana". Cortana was registered as a fake contact behind the scenes, and all it would do is trigger the Cortana assistant through that phone call. You'd then tell Cortana what you wanted, and it had much better voice recognition and capabilities than Sync, so it did what you wanted 99% of the time. It was pretty cool.

Of course it was annoying and a waste of time as you had to always make that call first, but I'm glad the engineers on Cortana remembered that "all problems in computer science can be solved by another level of indirection"!
