If everyone is able to make their own app, then there is no need to advertise their apps, because everyone will just be using their own.

The real battle there would be protocols; how everyone's custom apps communicate. Here, we can fall back to existing protocols such as email, ActivityPub, Matrix, etc.
My Thread devices are all HomeKit devices, and they work incredibly well. Once they are joined to the Thread network they show up as IPv6 devices in mDNS and just work.

I have a ton of Thread enabled lightbulbs, smart outlets, and sensors on Thread, and I haven't had any issues.

They seem to mesh really well, store and forward for devices that are sleepy just works, but sleepy devices waking up and sending traffic is almost instant.

I do not own any devices that use WiFi, other than my Ecobee thermostat. So I can't compare against that. I would put the Thread devices up there alongside the Zigbee devices in terms of reliability, if not more resilient since I have multiple thread border router capable devices (multiple HomePod mini's and Apple TV's with Thread) so a device getting restarted (unlike a Zigbee hub like Hue/IKEA TRADFRI) won't affect the network/ability for the devices to trigger responses.
Machine code. Assembly if you’re weak willed and need some hand holding.
Those generative AI companies aren't exactly lean on energy usage either. It's about capturing the IRA money, which to their credit they are very up front about. Maybe something good will come out of it, after all, that's the point of the government spending! If they save the world purely out of self interest then we still get the saved world...
I would posit that the special privilege has been given to the non-religious, in that they have been able to openly discriminate against religious people in violation of existing laws.

I would suggest looking into the EEOC regulations mentioned by someone else in this thread and Title VII of the 1964 civil rights act.

I agree with your general point, but to be clear, it likely reduces your chances of doing that, to some extent. It does not prevent you from spreading COVID.

Amazon search may have lots of results that I don't care about, but is generally accurate on the first try.

The brick and mortar experience is ostensibly 10x worse than being able to use a search box. Grocery stores and Home improvement stores are the worst - I probably spend 80% of my time there trying find where things are, with the overhead labels generally being useless.
Thanks for posting. His substack piece on the 3 m’s is very appropriate.
That seems more like a testament to the intensity of someone who does X to be the "best" at it, rather than someone who does X for the fun of it. Go became more than just a game to him -- it was his identity.
My supervisor's wife was working at a pharma company back in the 2000s. Her job was to reproduce promising publications related to any conditions they were involved in. The reproducibility rate was something like 25%, which is higher than some other estimates I've seen looking across many fields, but still....

> "Improving human wealth" is hardly the point of anything at all.

Human wealth enables to do anything beyond the natural course of events where most people die after a very short-lived and miserable existence. Where we're subject to starvation, disease, dangerous animals, or perishing due to mundane cold, heat and other natural events.

Now, if you don't care about wealth, you basically end up being a consumerist. Fritter away whatever humanity can manage to produce on immediate consumption. Progress stagnates and humanity degenerates. If you claim to be none of those, you're probably just anti-human. In which case, nothing is stopping you from a pro-active start on depopulation.

They mean inference. Generics get resolved to different types (and lifetimes) depending on surrounding code.
Yep. The install size of unreal is a known issue: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=n7vwGnKSbmE&feature=youtu.be

Our lab computors have 500gb of space. Each time a new profile is activated by a student, that eats up around 5 to 10 gig. In addition… Video editing eats up storage space like there is no tomorrow (the Cache requirements of Resolve are another issue). Nanite supports scene with very dance meshes (downloaded directly from Unreals online store). These add up quickly in terms of file size, especially as each comes in several versions, with multiple levels of detail.

Ideally we would have liked to install more than one version of Unreal. Unreal updates regularly and files created with each version cannot be guaranteed to be opened by subsequent versions. However, this was one saving we made.

There are sample files which are actually very instructive but which we did not install.

All of these issues compounded and towards the end of sem we were having a tough time.

One mouse study found that not aspirating when injecting the vaccine did increase the risk of myocarditis.

That research hasn't been reproduced in humans but it's worth further study. Currently the CDC recommends against aspiration, primarily due to pain.

> Pardon my ignorance. Why can't you set up a performance test in both environments and measure the speed?

Everyone has a performance test environment, not everyone has one that's separate from production. In this case, generating realistic test patterns is probably very difficult, so you get one environment for everything.

Tips for Dealing with Vendors
I’m sure that’s a big consideration, but they really could just dump whatever code they own the rights to, in whatever state it’s in, and people would be thrilled.

Although, now that I write that out, I bet determining the code they have rights to is, sadly, more work than they’re willing to put in.

Edit: also, if some of the code is used elsewhere in current games, this could inadvertently reveal security bugs in them.
> You describe stuff that is harmful or boring. In an other comment I touched upon this, as there seem to be a clear distinction between people that love programming and those that just want to get results.

There's nothing stopping anyone from coding for fun, but we get paid for delivering value, and the amount of value that you can create is hugely increased with these new tools. I think for a lot of people their job satisfaction comes from having autonomy and seeing their work make an impact, and these tools will actually provide them with even more autonomy and satisfaction from increased impact as they're able to take on bigger challenges than they were able to in the past.
Type inference w/ overlays is usually enough. The only thing I’m missing with VSCode rust overlays is they sometimes don’t show the lifetime on an inferred type which makes it a little more annoying.
There's no accounting for taste, but another reason why the Unreal advancements are a big deal is improved productivity for artists. The geometry in that Xbox One screenshot was painstakingly optimized by some poor overworked artist, whereas this guy just threw together a couple billion polygons and UE5 didn't even flinch.

edit: not to mention the lighting in the Xbox One screenshot was also pre-baked and probably manually tweaked, compared to real lighting updated in realtime in UE5.

> unanimous lack of confidence in "autopilot" I've witnessed in owners

I'm an owner and I have a lot of confidence in autopilot. Generally, if it's possible to use autopilot on the road I'm on, I do. So that's one owner you're witnessing who's not part of that "unanimous".
With all respect, this is terrible logic. You have two probabilities to compare, not one to compare to zero! If and only if the vaccine is more dangerous then your "improbably small chance of dying of covid", you should forego the vaccination.

Is it? No. It is not. Not even for the best protected youngest cohort. Get your shot. You're being misled by politics and tiny, difficult numbers.
>Looks like their transmission is quite expensive, and 2022 has had an increase on generation prices.

German energy prices aren't some of the highest in the word since 10 months ago.

>https://www.statista.com/statistics/1346309/household-electr...

I can only access 2021 data. TWENTY PERCENT of energy prices are just tax to fund renewables.
This was removed early 2022, else I probably could not have posted this, but it has existed for decades.
In 2021 you could have instantly slashed electricity prices by 20% just by ignoring renewables.

But you are still missing the point entirely, it isn't like coal and solar are competing on an equal regulatory playing field. One industry is funded by a 20% tax on energy prices, the other has to compete with that while being under various other direct taxes, "carbon taxes", etc., which inevitably are taxes which show up in the production price.

Honestly you are really stupid if you think renewables are more economical. For decades they have been subsidized and given all possible regulatory benefits they can possibly get, but germany is still producing energy with coal.
I am at a loss for what to say. Again in 2021 TWENTY PERCENT of the energy price were due to taxes for renewables.
You can train/finetuned a Stable Diffusion model on an arbitrary aspect ratio/resolution and then the model starts creating coherent images, would be cool to try finetuning/training this model on entire songs by extending the time dimension (also the attention layer at the usual 64x64 resolution should be removed or it would eat too much memory)
So, no proof. Thank you.
> As long as vaccine side effects cause less deaths and less harm than the virus, vaccination is still the way to go.

Assuming the vaccine prevents or lessens the effects of infection, this is logical. A common belief is that the vaccine is virtually useless. If this belief is true or close to true, then taking the vaccine would result in an increase in risk.
Since I have not seen anyone mention it here, https://write.as/ might also be an option for someone looking to replace Medium.

Not affiliated in any way. Just like the idea.
You’re smuggling in the assumption that the vaccine induced myocarditis is the same underlying phenomenon, with the same risk profile, as the viral induced one.

Let’s say, hypothetically, that what was going on here was some % of vaccines were being injected intravenously in error, leading to massively localized spike protein buildup in the heart over a few hour period, with dynamics highly divergent with the progressive, broad way it would run with actual disease, causing a different set of possible outcomes like instant death being very much on the table. In this hypothetical scenario, can you see why your analysis about immunological response being similar, and myocarditis being caused by the disease and vaccine being relevant, would turn out to have in fact been missing the point? And that by failing to do so, we missed a simple protocol change that could have saved many lives counterfactually?

I’m not saying that is what is going on. But what I am saying is if that scenario is logically coherent to you, can you extrapolate why the kinds of responses you are giving here could be falling into the the same trap you’d have recognized if the above scenario was actually what was happening? You’re telling me that I should stop thinking something bad is going on here, that we can stop, and am making nonsense arguments like the one you raised with the smallpox vaccine. I reject that - this is important and we should figure it out.
obsolete is a bit too much
Yes, I believe rust-analyzer language server + vscode extension is the setup I have that does this for me.
I think AI would be great at generating similar things. Might be very nice for generating fake languages, too.
I am worried how the discussion around the vaccine has turned political and how there are a lot of strong opinions around it. I worry it might affect funding and also "politically taint" people who publish research about it.
I found this awesome podcast that goes into several AI & music related topics https://open.spotify.com/show/2wwpj4AacVoL4hmxdsNLIo?si=IAaJ...

They even talk specifically about about applying stable diffusion and spectrograms.
I was an early adopter for sure. This was back in 2016ish when I installed all of the devices. All of the devices were Z-Wave+ (specifically bought for that) but many of them did not support the newer encryption, and it ended up being a mixed network of devices for sure. Only the last few devices I bought supported the new encryption standard that was being rolled out at the time. I ended up getting a new Z-Wave hub that supported it to be able to securely enroll my new devices... but all it did was destabilize the network further.

It just left a horrible taste in my mouth, and once bitten, twice shy is definitely the case here.

The other thing that made things slow was sleepy devices that would wake up to report status. Things like motion sensors that also reported humidity, light levels, temperature and more (I do wish I could find a sensor like that for Zigbee/Thread... the multiple things in one was kinda nice). Every time they would wake up to report it would flood the network with traffic. And with each additional sensor I would have to tweak how often that would happen (and thus how accurate the data was over time) to reduce the amount of chatter on the network.
The CDC discusses anaphylaxis as a possible side effect of the tetanus shot too[1]. It would seem the difference between the two is an adherence to protocol as opposed to risk profiles.

According to the CDC the rate of anaphylaxis is incredibly low with the COVID shot[2].

Hello - this is awesome work. Like other commenters, I think the idea that if you are able to transfer a concept into a visual domain (in this case via fft) it becomes viable to model with diffusion is super exciting but maybe an oversimplification. With that in mind, do you think this type of approach might work with panels of time series data?
> Our society currently affords ample opportunity to "productively" avoid those questions.

I fully agree.

> Some people already have answers to those questions, and stand to gain from that toil being removed.

I used to believe that but with the recent improvements in AI, I think it's only true to an extent. Not all personalities are equal. As AI's power in the creative fields increase those fields will more and more become a question of who has the most money to throw at AI processing. Superficially it might seem the same as two-three centuries ago when rich people had famous artists paint them but it's not.

I fear where we're at with AI is the beginning of the end for human creativity. Of course I hope I'm wrong. I hoped I was wrong about my skepticism when I first learned of Facebook in 2007, but as it turned out it has and continues to be a net negative force in our world much bigger than I could imagine.
> How do I live with myself?

It's probably going to come down to you redefining "success".

Find the things you love doing no matter how terrible you are at doing them. Do those things to the best of your ability. If you can earn enough to support yourself and your hobbies you're doing better than a whole lot of people. Your job (the one you have now, or the one you end up with after automation makes everyone redundant) doesn't have to be fancy and your work doesn't have to define you. It just has to pay the bills.

Some folks can find joy in their work, but most people just put in their time so they can get back to doing the things they love that nobody is going to pay them for. There are a whole lot of very "successful" people who are outright miserable and plenty of "failures" who are living it up every day doing whatever makes them happy.

I've got friends with levels of wealth I'll never obtain, and occasionally I can be envious of some toy they can afford that I couldn't, but mostly I'm happy with what I have and it's hard to dwell on what I don't have when I'm genuinely having a good time.

If enjoying yourself isn't enough to make you feel successful, try doing something meaningful for someone else. Volunteer some place. It can take surprisingly little to make a huge difference in someone's life. When you're helping others and making a real difference it's pretty hard to feel like you're a failure. Plus it can be great for gaining perspective.
I dont think I understand what you are saying. Companies can already do stock buybacks with pretax money, and non-profits can already invest and hold equity.

I don't understand why a company would want to use a non-profit to buy back stock.
The point of a buyback is to destroy the stock, driving up the price. If a non-profit holds the stock, then it doesnt work.
A Standard Pricing Model for Open Core
Agree with that as well - there's a good argument to be made that companies will find entirely new product lines and efficiencies once they free their developers from fixing low-level problems and bugs.

It's going to be an exciting few years to say the least.

Because nobody has ever expanded their machine code beyond the L1 cache size and experienced a huge difference in performance.
One thing they offer which is really uncommon is parametric models instead of geometric models only. It's like getting the source code instead of only a binary file. So, you can easily suppress unwanted detail.
Hmmm, a little googling suggests the Lomokino shoots only as fast as you crank (not 24 fps or anything cinemalike) and, even if you could run 24 fps on it, you'd get 4 to 6 seconds of film on a 35mm roll.

I think what this means is AI assistance during interviews may be enough to fool the interviewer. This may finally put an end to remote leet code interviews. Companies with deep pockets and local companies will probably stick to the status quo and just move to in person interviews again.
USD is a very complex standard. Is there a layered 3D/animation interchange format that allows for relatively painless scene interchange?

By layered I mean something where each feature builds on the previous features. Something like:

1) OBJ-like static geometry
2) materials and lighting
3) per-frame transform matrices
4) animation curves
5) etc.

Of course it will. Their employment isn't sacred. They have a skill, we're teaching that skill to computers, and their skill will be worth less.

>> code that's only 95% right is just wrong,

> I know what you mean, but thinking about it critically, this is just wrong. All software has bugs in it. Small bugs, big bugs, critical bugs, security bugs, everything. No code is immune. The largest software used by millions every day has bugs. Library code that has existed and been in use for 30 years has bugs.

All software has bugs, but it's usually far better that "95% right." Code that's only 95% right probably wouldn't pass half-ass testing or a couple of days of actual use.
I know of a few ways we can test this theory. We're going to need a short list of popular publishers on Medium.
