for you, and for parent: make sure you turn off "EUP Compliance"/"EU Power" or "Deep Sleep Mode" options if you have them... that's another source of issues surrounding sleep/wake with monitors.

Even apart from the monitor just hanging in the sleep state... a lot of them have glitchy behavior until you hard reboot the monitor. Some monitors actually will (internally) execute a full reboot of the monitor controller board when you wake them as a result, because they can't reliably come back out of the Deep Sleep state, and that's another source of the "monitor disconnects and windows moves my icons/windows" glitches. The monitor is actually electrically unplugging itself and replugging when it wakes.

Vendors don't really care because everyone (who's in the know) turns the feature off because it's broken and causes problems.

This particular EU regulatory exercise was a failure. Or at least, EU needs to rip off the bandaid and require that it be enabled with no option to disable it, which would obviously lead to problems and poor reviews, which would eventually lead to a fix... after a couple years of glitchy monitors.
Did this come to anything? Did you in fact talk to someone from P0 about Cloudflare lobbying the FTC over Tavis Ormandy's vulnerability research? Tavis just posted on the thread; did you get a chance to check that out?
This is nice but still has some huge limitations, e.g. you need 3-5 images of something to train it. It becomes a chicken and egg problem if I start by generating something, since I cannot create 5 different images of it to train the textual inversion. It is also intensive and slow to train on each object.

Also I think we're running into limitations of using a single prompt to describe things, as it's often hard to separate the 'what' is in the scene and the 'how' to draw the scene, with many prompts looking like a giant word salad trying to tap in the internal secret language of the model
Think of it as an effort to replace your real, natural identity in physical reality with a virtual one. I believe the goal is to make your virtual identity your primary identity. That gives your would-be masters the technological control that is much harder in the real world. It allows for much easier atomization and propagandization.

Or it would, if the technology was actually real. Although, one might argue that Twitter, in a way, could be considered a metaverse already.
Poof?
True. Question is, what makes you succeed in that situation? Try to elicit why it became what it is or just run? ;)

CppCon 2018: G. Nishanov “Nano-coroutines to the Rescue (2018)
There seems to be a big cost with being unattractive. Poor Zuck. Elon musk can get away with murder (by falsely claiming full self driving) and nobody will bat an eye. Sergey Brin and Larry Page have even managed to get out of the limelight despite harvesting more data than facebook. Zuck never seems to catch a break.
Read the two lines of the article:

> Data show that smoking, drinking alcohol and obesity are the biggest contributors to cancer worldwide.

> Nearly 50% of cancer deaths worldwide are caused by preventable risk factors, such as smoking and drinking alcohol, according to the largest study of the link between cancer burden and risk factors

Interested to see what your response is to the article once you finish reading it :-)
Apparently it is, for those that haven't had the pleasure to work during those days, which I might add was still quite common around 2005 (when I moved away from HP-UX to Red-Hat Linux at Nokia).
All I keep thinking is, how can I make money off of this. Aww the power of open-source. Right now, my thinking is that its just going to cut costs (sorry artists) for in existing workflows, maybe change some endeavors from red to black profit margins. Probably more likely will be using this SD as a basis for more specialized content training.
> with a signature boasting about their involvement in threads that resulted in people killing themselves

Pretty sure claiming that they are celebrating their killcount and using naughty words are different things.
Why AR?

I'll admit upfront that I'm biased and develop a VR "metaverse" platform, but where exactly is the appeal of AR for the average person? AR augments reality, so what do you imagine your grandma doing with that?

In general there's just not that much information that is useful that we've not already put somewhere accessible. Streets have names, products have ingredient lists, devices have connectors with particular shapes and colors.

I see AR having a lot of potential, sure, but I'm not quite seeing where is its mainstream appeal exactly.
>What is keeping people still on Android if the flagships have so many issues?

Not much, apparently. In the US at least, iPhone usage has been steadily eroding Android usage; indeed, as of this summer, the US iPhone userbase became larger than the Android userbase [0].

From the article:

> In 2007, the year Wikipedia first became a top-ten website serving the world, the Foundation reported total annual expenses of $2 million.

> The Wikimedia Foundation is richer than ever. Its assets and reserves [...] have increased fivefold since 2015, and stood at an estimated $400 million at the end of March 2022.

I'm sure the "mission" has expanded and costs are higher these days, but 200x baseline costs is pretty comfy.
also they're all modeled after English ones or at least from standards set that English languages followed (from what I saw).
I agree with your conclusion, but not your reasoning. People are going to love it because very few people care about, or are even aware of, Zuck's voyeurism fetish. The loud reaction to this creepy behavior is actually unfathomly small compared to Facebook's active user base.

The initial users then drag their entire sphere into it, often convincing people to ignore their own better judgment.

This article is saying a lot less than the title leads on. The article states half of all cancer deaths are caused by smoking, alcohol, and obesity. Nearly every patient in the developed world is aware that all three of these are bad, but the struggle is in changing course on these three behaviors rather than a lack of knowledge that they're bad.
Let's be clear, there is no level of evidence that would be acceptable to KF supporters. Asking for it is pointless because the response would be to discredit it regardless of what it was. So far we see, "it's a joke," "that's a bad apple," "you cant prove there is a connection," "you don't understand look but not touch," ad nauseum. We're just skipping the dialog tree to the part where CF had the power and KF didn't. Kind of a nothingburger if you ask me. KF lost the game - end of story.
They aren't innovating because they're working on problems that were solved a decade ago in the game industry

I feel that is applicable to much more of FAANG than Facebook now that I think about it. Steam somehow still seems to be a better storefront than Google Play, the Apple app store, and Amazon combined; despite coming from a company having a tenth of the resources and a management structure that pretty much boils down to "YOLO". And lets not even talk about the fact that the performance of your average webapp still pales in comparison to the most trash optimized of 2005 flash games
I’m afraid you can’t say modern and not support mobile correctly anymore.
If a phone is important enough that you think that it's critical that people consider using alternatives for the sake of the future, then those alternatives need to consider why they're that critical and ensure that they are meeting those needs.

Alternatively, it's not that important and as such the market being a "fiefdom" is irrelevant. In which case suggesting people switch to alternatives is also irrelevant because it simply doesn't matter.
The trouble with explicit casting is if the code is refactored to change the underlying integer type, the explicit casts may silently truncate the integer, introducing bugs.

D follows the C integral promotion rules, with a couple crucial modifications:

1. No implicit conversions are done that throw away information - those will require an explicit cast. For example:

int i = 1999;
char c = i; // not allowed
char d = cast(char)i; // explicit cast

2. The compiler keeps track of the range of values an expression could have, and allows narrowing conversions when they can be proven to not lose information. For example:

int i = 1999;
char c = i & 0xFF; // allowed

The idea is to safely avoid needing casts, in order to avoid the bugs that silently creep in with refactoring.

Continuing with the notion that casts should be avoided where practical is the cast expression has its own keyword. This makes casting greppable, so the code review can find them. C casts require a C parser with lookahead to find.

One other difference: D's integer types have fixed sizes. A char is 8 bits, a short is 16, an int is 32, and a long is 64. This is based on my experience that a vast amount of C programming time is spent trying to account for the implementation-defined sizes of the integer types. As a result, D code out of the box tends to be far more portable than C.

D also defines integer math as 2's complement arithmetic. All that 1's complement stuff belongs in the dustbin of history.
What do you mean, unstable? If someone will leave if they don't get a pay rise they should get one without management (who all need paying for, lowering the useful salaries) getting together to figure out if it's worth all of the cost of giving everyone that pay rise, or the hassle of uprisings and complaints if they only give that person one.
No, the 3 was abandoned a little over four years after its release.
And they have a right to be aggravated. You're talking about something else, their outward reaction, which you are making assumptions about.

I'd hope every user interface designer (and yes this is user interface design) also gets aggravated by bad design. If all you do is make excuses for bad design, it's a good bet your designs suck.
Since that screenshot went out, the answer is obvious.
I am not trolling today, TDD doesn't make any sense to me, testing to fail and correcting it until it passes doesn't work with my flow.

In a DAW(Digital Audio Workstation), this is like adjusting the knobs, adding effects when you haven't even added any samples, it just doesn't make any sense, stop forcing yourself to do things that doesn't align with your flow, you'll likely get annoyed for no reason.

The way I work is I do the architecture design, I write the code, then I write my test by following the design graph.

If I don't know what the design would look like, I do what I call "code freestyling" to get a basic idea of what the overall design would look like then I repeat the above step.
I appreciate a good JavaScript dig every time. But in fairness, when I was trying to learn FRP (functional reactive programming, different from React), JavaScript was the only other language where I could find some interesting FRP libraries. There's definitely a lot of exciting JavaScript libraries (and more likely to have documentation than Haskell) you just won't find them used in big corporations.
It's definitely possible to get concrete representation out of DALL•E, although it takes some experimentation to achieve realism within the constraints of the tech today. Still, we're not far off at all from indistinguishable synth imagery.

I guess my objection is that when I was younger, we owned an actual printer, and now, we don't. They're annoying. I think the more likely outcome is that you take your design to the "print shop" and get it printed. 3D printers likely require a lot of maintenance and calibration.

In my field (medical physics), the technology is constantly improving, but the maintenance requirements never go away. High precision requires high effort; high complexity, generally, requires high precision. That goes triple if you want to eat off it.

Plus, you probably want a variety of materials — are we going to eat off of a plastic spoon, or melt metal in our houses? Space Kinko's can stock everything from aluminum bronze to Zylon composites.
This is the part that tensorflow is really good at, while just about everything else lags behind. The tf saved model is the graph plus weights, and is super easy to just load up and run. (Also, tflite for mobile...)

But one of the tricky parts with stable diffusion is that people are trying to get it to run on lighter hardware, which is basically another engineering problem where simple apis typically won't expose the kind of internals people want to mess around with.

After ‘quiet quitting,’ here comes ‘quiet firing’
To qualify this further, "actually famines are normal and okay for these people" was also the attitude used by the British during the 100% British caused Irish potato famine which reduced the population of Ireland to a point it still has only barely recovered from.

Droughts and other weather events can be cyclical, but famines rarely are because humans are actually fairly good at adapting to cycles like that and plan accordingly. However colonial governments tend to ignore any preexisting systems and primarily focus on extracting surplus of the barest minimum to keep the colonized alive, rather than building reserves for these catastrophes.

And that's when the colonial power doesn't intentionally slaughter, maim or execute people to cull the "excess population" (which arguably was part of the motivation behind the Irish famine as the Irish Catholics were seen as being at risk of outbreeding the British Protestants).

Frankly, I don't think it's good or desirable to model any modern company after an enterprise built on extracting as much surplus value as possible from people who were not permitted any rights to object. That seems like the exact opposite of the kind of company I would consider good or desirable. It's the kind of company I would like to see made illegal if at all possible.

My 3 rules:

1. buy everything thunderbolt 4 certified

2. connect monitors using tb -> dp cables

3. avoid Linux and Windows (vms are ok)

Break one of the rules and be ready for a world of pain.

I can't tell what Linux does but USB4NET works without a hitch through USB4 hubs.

To go technical we need to check the USB4 System Overview. https://www.usb.org/sites/default/files/D1T1-3%20-%20USB4%20... to find four types of Protocol are mapped to USB4: USB3 Adapters, DP Adapters, PCIe Adapters, Host Interface Adapters. We are all familiar with USB3, DP, PCIe but what is a "Host Interface Adapter"?

Now we need to open another document https://www.usb.org/sites/default/files/D2T1-3%20-%20USB4%20... to find "Provides parallel communication channels: Control Packet Routing, Host-to-host tunneling" under the Host Interface section. It's Host-to-host tunneling we want.

Finally, go to page 55 of this PDF and see Path Terminology -- most importantly you can see there can be any number of Path Segments.

So to recap: The so called Thunderbolt networking is now called USB4NET, it is provided by the Host Interface Adapter, and it can travel over any number of routers. (In the first doc, you can find routers are the fundamental block of USB4, host, router, device are all routers and in this sense they are the same.)
Metaverse != Horizon Worlds != Augmented/Virtual Reality

AR/VR is going to be an absolute game changer once someone produces an acceptable wearable that achieves mass adoption. Whether or not Meta is the company that succeeds at doing this is another question altogether.

However, the benefits from getting it right, even if it's a long shot, justifies Meta's investment in VR.
Seconded. Only ever add tests after you have a working version. Starting a greenfield project with TDD is a waste of time. Just get something out then start testing your assumptions with unit tests, even then, don't test the whole codebase, test your fundamental assumptions and core features (like user auth, roles, permissions and their invocations, esp if multi-tenanted).

Hold that pitchfork: bottled water!

Hydration. Bottled water was only available in specialist stores for putting in things like your car radiator. The only bottled water for drinking on the marketplace was 'Perrier'. It was fizzy and came in distinctive bottles. People bought it as often as they bought spirits and it would stay in the drinks cabinet for months.

Then they started advertising it. After a few false starts the market for 'hydration' was established and paying money for something that came free from the tap was de rigeur.

France and other European countries were ahead of the UK with bottled water, possibly because the tap water was not deemed potable. These brands soon took over the UK market and TV showed the adverts to rake in the consumers.

The original word of 'thirsty' was swapped for the American 'hydration' and instead of asking if someone was thirsty you would ask them if they were properly hydrated.

Clearly there was no government decree or cartel pointing guns at people and insisting that they forget the thirsty idea and public water faucets. Through marketing and the 'hydration word' they got the job done.
Ken Kocienda: performance of autocorrection algorithm on the original iPhone
OK, so with 100m new houses in Lisbon, keeping up with the Joneses would keep the prices up, gotcha.
The public key cryptographic algorithm is in the public domain so the question is really just how humanity will grapple with the fact that humans can communicate privately.

I agree it presents a lot of problems, crypto has harmed millions of people, and the people who presented crypto as investments should be held accountable by standard government rules.
> Agree. People are looking at the past with rose tinted glasses or haven't lived through the '90s - '00 tech. Every phone and electronic gadget had their own proprietary dock, cable and connector for data and charging. Even many phones had proprietary connectors for headphones instead of the 3.5mm jack. It was a nightmare.

You've missed the problematic point of where we are now. In the mid 2010's, apple had lightning, and android was almost certainly micro USB. If I had a USB port, and a cable that fit, it would charge my phone effectively. Somewhere in the transition to USB-C ,we lost that.

> What we have today has certainly teething issues, but we're on the right path.

I disagree - we've missed the forest for the trees. I have 4 mains to USB adapters in my home, and 2 USB-A plug sockets. I also have 4 USB C-C cables, and 2 A-C cables (which stay in the wall sockets). I use these to power 2 phones, 2 pairs of earbuds, an M1 Macbook and and iPad. If you pick an arbitrary cable and an arbitrary power adapter and plug it into a device that fits, it will do anything ranging from not work at all (with my anker wall charger and any cable into both sets of earbuds), up to charging it so quickly the device oveheats (140w USB c charger into either phone). I've got 6 devices, 4 cables, and 4 plugs that all have the same connection points that just don't work properly together. Meanwhile if you go back to the mid 2010's as per earlier, we had a lightning cable and a micro USB cable - you knew it worked if it fit.

That's before you get into the nonsense around Android auto. I have a car with AA in it's head unit, and a USB port for connectivity. I must ahve tried 5 different branded cables before I found a reddit post that linked a specific anker cable that works for my very specific combination of car and device - I _never_ would have figured that out on my own.
Um... can someone use this tactic to shutdown Facebook or Twintter? That would be fantastic :)
There are TONS of ad-blockers, and a very sophisticated and comprehensive ad blocking API available on iOS. What’s stopping one single ad blocker from running on it?
Exactly. I don't want to go back to computers with 10 different types of ports. Everything moving to USB-C is just fantastic.

It does suck that there are necessarily so many cable types (basically boiling down to no/low/hi data x no/lo/hi power) with no obvious good labeling system except for reading specs on a box.

But it's also not an issue for most people since most devices come with their own cable. My laptop came with an appropriate expensive USB-C power delivery cord, my USB lamp came with a cheapo one, my expensive monitor came with an appropriate expensive high-data Thunderbolt cable. And the manufacturers usually sell or recommend the appropriate longer length cable if you need that.

The issues only arise when you're trying to do more complicated things like use a USB hub, or run extremely long distances. The fact that USB hubs work at all still often seems like a minor miracle to me...
