Very interesting.

People keep saying ChatGPT isn't that impressive because it's just "regurgitating knowledge" and has no insight into it, or things along those lines. But I find it insanely impressive that you can specify something like:

"Provide your answer in JSON form. Reply with only the answer in JSON form and include no other commentary."

And it will do exactly that. Or tell it to explain you something "in the style of Shakespere".

I just asked it about quantum physics as Shakespere and got this (plus a lot more):

---

Oh sweet youth, listen closely as I impart

The secrets of the quantum realm, a place of art

Where particles and waves, both small and large

Exist in states both definite and in charge

---

That is really fascinating stuff.
This is also the case in Ireland and the UK for newly full licensed drivers.
From what I heard, there have been a number of historians that aired concerns of factual issues pre-print who were ignored, and its marketed as a history book despite not being a history book.

One of the goals of propaganda is to cause disunity.

The idea being you divide people and conquer. You force people into psychological states where there are two minorities where some people don't react, and some who react violently at shadows, and it allows a smaller third group to do things that couldn't normally be done. That's the gist of it. You get them to that point by corrupting social norms, and other factors that make up individual and national identity. Its quite evil, and often uses sophisticated techniques that are designed to work on psychological blindspots we all have, the only defense for that type of material, is to limit exposure and view that material with critical thought and attention.

Obviously this kind of content would be harmful to any children younger than 12 as they would lack the developmental faculties needed to discern lies from truth and just accept what is provided.
DirectX12 has ok compute capabilities, but is increasingly being left in the dust by Vulkan. It doesn't have pointers or a memory model, but it does have device scoped barriers (which Metal lacks), so you can do things like single-pass prefix sum (monoid scan) operations, which Metal and WebGPU can't. Also, the Nvidia "cooperative matrix" operations (which access the "tensor cores") exist in CUDA and Vulkan but not DirectX12.

Programming GPU compute outside CUDA is still quite painful; the developer experience of tools is terrible and the ecosystem has a lot of catching up to do. I'm most bullish on WebGPU going forward, but there are definite growing pains.
It's essentially an optimizing constraint solving problem. As far as I know, there are 2 main known approaches to this class of problem:

- use a tree traversal algorithm with a lot of built-in optimizations and pruning. Google OR-Tools is one well-known solver.

- use a set of meta-heuristics (Tabu search, simulated annealing, etc.) against arbitrary predicate expressions. The best example of this kind of silver is OptaPlanner.

The advantage of tree traversal is that it is exhaustive and guaranteed to be optimal; but it requires a fixed computing budget for a given set of constraints. Given a large compute cluster it's ideal, but on individual machines/servers these solutions tend to take hours or days. Southwest's system would likely require a significant supercomputer to run its scheduling through an exhaustive optimizing constraint solver, since it would have to re-run the entire solution (or significant numbers of subtrees) when any variable changes (which happens likely several times per second).

Meta-heuristics are more flexible and allow for all sorts of interesting, convenient features that can be very helpful when your compute budget is less than a Tiobe-500 supercomputer.
They offer time-constrained solving, real-time monitoring of a solution in progress (you can watch it get better as more of the solution space is searched), and over-constrained solving (where the requested solution is impossible, but we need to make a best-effort attempt).
Depends on the store. I can have Amazon deliver me Egan by January 6 (9 days from now), or I can walk down to the local sci-fi store and pick one up off the shelf today. Of course, Barns and Noble don't even stock his books.
I used to donate them to my local library because I thought they would know best what is worth to keep and what to throw away.
Solana is quite cool from an engineering perspective. It's built with Rust and you compile programs to BPF for execution on the decentralized VM.

It’s fine for a DB be the source of truth as long as it’s the ultimate arbiter of what’s going on, but any kind of real world event has dependencies outside of the databases control.

A digital rental works as a pure time stamp in a DB, a car rental however can’t be rented out to the next person simply because the last persons rental period ended as you might not physically have the car etc.
It seems to provide the answer of "Clearly, not all of them are."

I’m talking about significant cooling and heating, which is what you mentioned. Set your thermostats to 66° F heating and 88° F cooling and compare your electricity gas usage to 72° F/75°F for the year.
That sounds pretty cool. Not sure it sounds very profitable, but I hope it is because it sounds well suited to my tastes. Have you considered curating for physical book quality? The emergence of the e-book has caused me to pay more attention to the book as an actual object. If I'm going to have an actual book in my house, it should be durable and pleasant to handle. A nicely bound book with good print quality affords a pleasure beyond just the content.
The Antarctica example is not meaningful in the US where police are a universally present institution. There is not a significant number of unreported shootings in the USA. Bodies get found. Victims show up at the hospital. People call the police.

If you are claiming that there is significant bias here, you must present evidence that there are unreported shootings in an amount to make up a significant percent of all shootings in the US, or that there is an organized conspiracy by law enforcement to mislead the public about the location of shootings.
I did not try that, but it's good to know it has those parameters built-in.
Thank you! That’s my hope as well.
I can see how it looks that way. What I see, rather, is that the costs of voter fraud prevention are much less than the cost of getting everyone an ID.

A shortcut to determine if this is really about ID or not is exploring the hypothetical, "Would voter ID proponents be satiated if IDs were instantly printable at polling stations provided the requirements for ID were the same?"

Instead it appears as though voter-ID proponents tend to weigh voter fraud much more than voter suppression: ie: it's much much worse if one person fraudulently votes than if one person is disenfranchised. Or in other words, the purity and sanctity of elections is tainted by a single fraudulent vote but not a single disenfranchisement.

1. Definitely open to being better informed on this. Please set me straight if this isn't the case.
Crypto's value depends on the perception of decentralization which is more marketing that science. In crypto, "relatively centralized" is the same as "decentralized enough".
It's not that much of a surprise, really.

Measurements are only a starting point. Breasts have wildly varying shapes with wildly different support requirements - not to mention plain ol' personal preference. Every brand will have their own specific construction style and fit, with variations between different product lines and sometimes even individual products.

You can't fit a pumpkin into a coke bottle, even if they have the same volume. Breasts aren't any different, so you need the right bra size and shape.
B&N is pretty up to date in the computer section actually. For example, I normally see No Starch Press "The Rust Programming Language (2nd edition)" and "Rust for Rustaceans" and lots of their python books and some that I was also interested in like "The Art of 64-bit Assembly" and "Understanding the Machine." They also have a lot of security books proportion-wise. But the section is smaller than I like and leans toward the mainstream of course.

What I find however, is nothing like it used to be, at least in certain locations. I'm sure it varies by location but I miss the one closest to Redmond (Microsoft) which (at least when I went there around 2000) had multiple full rows of computer books including highly technical ones that you don't see anymore in person.
gastby is nice if youre already familiar with doing frontend using React.

mkdocs is nice if you want something dumb as nails: just give it the markdown files, and itll build the static assets. i think it has hot reload somewhere too.

Interesting insight into some philosophers who were/are thinking about AI.
France passed some anti-mask laws about a decade ago as a reaction to Muslim immigration. [0] (Amusingly, the statute also prescribes a €30,000 fine to anyone forcing someone to wear a mask). Other countries also have a history of anti-mask laws. [1]

Pre-covid, it was quite unusual in Western nations to see anyone wearing a mask. Most would probably assume anyone wearing one was carrying some highly communicable disease and would give them a wide berth.

The elastic stack is pretty good, but you’ll need to either run it on your own cluster/s or pay for the cloud product. It’s likely to be much cheaper than datadog but not quite as good

Obviously no.

What I meant is that they don't specifically try to hire nodejs/computer vision/graphics/kubernetes specialists etc.

Lots of startups and mid level companies are looking to hire specialists in computer vision, nlp, scala expertise etc.

So startups can have 4-5 highly specialized profiles.
what does it stand for ?
Thank you. I had no idea what this signage meant.
This is the direction NFYs should have gone (could still go).

It would be great to be able to resell digital purchases, but that’s only on the consumer’s interest, so will never happen without an act of ${rule_making_body}.
Yep that’s one of the nice things about this system. It can go out and do the same tasks quickly on a regular basis without wasting a persons time. So we can find new approaches to weed management that take less power and just happen more frequently.
> I can't really see there's much demand for Java 1.3, or Dreamweaver 4.

Designate one bookshelf as your "memory shelf". Keep the books on the languages you learned the most from or that remind you of your best (or most horrible) projects, and place them on that shelf.

Display it prominently, and it will be become a conversation starter for every nerd that comes to your home. "OMG, I haven't thought about Dreamweaver in years!". You can then share war stories.

It will only get more fun as the years pass.
If you ever feel the need again, vs a look through pcpartpicker. They'll warn if parts are incompatible and you can also look at other's successful builds to get ideas.

The computer shop near me will price match parts and for $25 will put them all together and run the system through tests like memtest etc. That is a small price to pay in my mind for them to handle RMA, etc. I can load up the OS etc after and know that the system will boot up.
I don't think they're suggesting it was "a few trades gone wrong" but asking if the amount of money SBF was handling corrupted him, which is compatible with your read of the situation. I think it's an interesting question; it goes to the heart of the "earn to give" strategy sometimes espoused by Effective Altruism advocates, and the pitch of "good guy billionaires" like Musk, Gates, or Branson. It's entirely possible SBF was always a piece of work, but that the money enabled him to be his worst self.

Waze allows you turn off most alerts. For each type of alert, you can configure whether it should be shown on the map and whether it should issue a vocal alert.
Rule of thumb - it isn’t bad until the minimum wage workers are no longer being forced to work.
I'm at loss what in my comment made you think about trickle down economics.

All that would do is route me around the wealthy suburbs.

Unfortunately that's rarely a good way to get where I'm going.

Would you have felt better if all the developers worked for Solana Labs? Honestly I would consider it not bad if development was split between Solana Labs, Jump, and FTX.
Indeed, I didn't mean to use the S9 per se, I just meant to use the latest/most efficient/most popular miner, whatever you'd like to use in your estimate. I was certainly not clear.

Re the S19: it's not the hash rate that matters, it's the hash rate per unit energy. The S19 consumes 3X as much power as the S9 and yields 10X the hash rate so it's only 3.33X as efficient. Of course efficiency here is purely transitory as old miners are thrown into the rubbish bin and replaced with these new lotto scratching machines - and the network difficulty adjusts to consume the new efficiency.
I'd say go for it anyway, there's pleasing aesthetics to be had, both to look at, to hear and to understand.

Sure, you might not come out the other side and "getting it" but I wonder how many really do.. But it's a wonderful journey anyway.
Falun Gong is a cult — the Moonies with Chinese characteristics. The fact that the author of this article and its associated book doesn't acknowledge this tells you all you need to know about this analysis.

Hitler planned for conquest of Europe. Xi is seeking to gain the territories disputed with its neighbors due to treaties signed with KMT officials instead of with CCP officials. The threat to liberal democracies is not remotely the same.
The default is to exclude them, but commands like get/restore/put take options to enable xattr support. The reason for ignoring them by default is simply pragmatic - fewer syscalls while walking the filesystem.
Working on a ECU that at some point during the development had to switch to Autosar, I cannot agree more on this.
My mother read this book. Now she's certain she has a serious condition, because she 'only' sleeps six hours per night. She's stressed out because the book says if she doesn't get eight hours of sleep, she'll get cancer.

She's completely healthy otherwise (well, other than recovering from COVID just now).

If you're going to make money giving people health advice, you have an ethical duty to be truthful to a level so high that it's hard to criticize it. Guzey shows here that Walker is not at that level.
Vulcan is on windows, Linux, Android, and OSX via moltenvk. Compute (GPGPU) is a requirement for all Vulcan drivers, technically drivers do not have to support rasterization but I don’t know of any hardware that doesn’t.

Outside of Apple every other current maker of GPU hardware have native Vulcan drivers for at least some of their target products.
Missed the opportunity to add "Der Käse" after "Das Käsestück".

And yeah, it's the equivalent to English prepositions, it's just lots of history and no logic.
Some of my most memorable conversations with my friends in the last couple of years has been talking about games. I've spoken at length about how Witcher 3's writing mirrors real relationships, how Cyberpunk's quests and endings have impact that wouldn't be possible in any other medium, how Return of the Obra Dinn gave a totally new experience that also made me rethink how I learn, and surely many other conversations I've forgotten.
Why is it not credible? They display only facts and link to sources for “conclusions”. What other angle is there to weigh?

Our goal is to take a community oriented approach to farming automation. We’re going to put this vehicle in the hands of people all over the world and together we’ll work on solutions to the various problems you’ve discussed. It does sit outside in hard rain storms all season long, but you’re right that wind could be an issue in some places.

I should point out that we’re intending to target regenerative organic farming systems, which are often tended by humans with hand tools or small 15 horsepower two wheeled tractors (like a BCS). At that scale, our one horsepower solar powered system can likely be made to work. But we don’t have to solve every problem ourselves. We’re trying to get this in other peoples hands and the design will evolve as we get feedback from real world farmers and experimenters.

Edit: This is the type of farming process we’re targeting. Hopefully that makes it clearer why we believe in our approach:

Vehicle software faults are pretty far down the injury risk depth chart.

Once you've committed to never driving after having had a drink (and surely never more than 1 drink), never driving while tired or on medication, have completed several advanced driving courses/car control clinics, chosen the top cars based on safety and crash testing, only then might it make sense to use software development methods as a tie-breaker to pick a car.
Why millions of older Americans are retiring early in the wake of the pandemic
Can't imagine how could you make harvester this small.
I think more helpful would be precision monitoring of fields with drones and then maybe even taking care of small weeds.
For every other process, you need big machinery anyway.

Would be more productive to force big manufactures to open-sourcing their stuff.
I also like how I'm gaining experience using the "developer's OS", which I'm sure will be valuable in the future.
I throw them out all the time. I constantly buy new books and throw it older ones. If I donate them to libraries or goodwill I’m selfishly burdening them with useless books do I just throw them out myself.
Just throw them in the trash. There is no way to recycle them, and nobody needs them. Do not waste your own and other people’s time by trying to “find them a home”.
Last week I needed a copy of Atlas Obscura to gift to someone. I checked my local Barnes and Nobles website, they had a a copy on a shelf so I went and bought it.

No way I would ever risk buying such books from Amazon. I am concerned about the condition it would arrive in, scams and delays.

I bought a second book based on a librarian's recommendation. There was only 5 or 6 books of the kind I was interested in. It made choosing one easier.

Amazon is tainted brand.
That's a really nice idea. I wish I had kept more of my books now.

If they only cut out all the 'bad guy does a rape, again' stuff, it would be a fantastic read. Otherwise it's a fascinating read, populated with bad characters.
Of course doing something yourself isn’t good enough so masks only work to protect others from your disease, not you from the diseases of others.
It's almost as if people that take a study program aren't all the same.
I'll bet it's just another excuse. The situation was probably so bad that the only solutions SkySolver could offer were beyond their capacity. There were probably partial solutions that were possible, but they rolled the dice on being able to resolve it by overworking people. They decided to double down instead of paying a whole lot of vouchers and refunds they'd rather not have to. Is it the software's fault the bet didn't pay out? As the problem snowballs and becomes more intractable, you get too far off the script and reach a point of no return.

I know nothing about the SkySolver or leadership at Southwest, but that seems like a very likely scenario based on what I've seen of what corporate types expect from software and rank-and-file employees.

"I got a little too in to fancy video production with four locations and multiple angles on one of the videos and realized I need to dial it back and produce simpler more frequent videos."

Well yes, the main thing I am expecting when I see a video about a robot/rover - is simply to see it in action. In the 9 minutes video it is shown to be moving only some seconds, which I totally missed upon skimming through it, which left me disappointed.

So if it really can do GPS pathing, I want to see that, so why not show it? Probably best in a speedrun, where it goes up and down the field.

All the technical details are interesting, but probably are better shown after it is shown what it can do. Basically all the robot movies are following that pattern and it makes kind of sense. Because you likely want to attract people who want to use it and not mainly people who want to tinker with it for the sake of tinkering.

"Tools are highly specific to the farming process used"

Seeding and weeding (in early stage) are quite general problems (mostly) independent from the plant and especially autonomous weeding (to not have to use pesticides) could be really useful. You are probably aware of https://farm.bot? They are doing it stationary, but maybe the same tools with modifications could be applied to your rovers?
If you go back less than 5 more years than that, it was less than $1. That's what he's talking about.

Fell into the same trap myself. Thought about it as free money generation and not an investment.

If I had just bought and held 10% of what I spent trying to generate BTC, I might not be on a private Caribbean Island, but I would be retiring a lot earlier.
It’s a hard problem in FOSS. Either you have a company with resources enough to make it happen on an ongoing basis, or you spend X time scratching your own itch to perfection and then tiredly stop caring about the world moving on.

Which may explain some blind Linux users swearing by their setups like they are the best things since sliced bread, while others might be meh.

It would be damn nice, though, even for able-bodied folks to be able to use their computers or phones without having to look at them once in a while, and no, voice assistants in their current shape don’t really count. They are still far from being “instant” and understanding you unambigiously every time.

I would welcome software UIs that are usable by all people without having to go into some kind of low vision mode where everything is different. Or one-handed mode where everything is different.
Ada’s is small but magical. It’s nowhere near Powell’s technical books at its prime, but walking into the backroom at Ada’s really brings me back to browsing technical books 20 years ago.

I’ve never failed to go back there and find something fascinating I have never heard of before. Though most of the people studying/working in that room will always wonder what kind of person sincerely gets excited about this stuff.
