According to CNet, with Google Maps "Transit, bicycling and walking directions are also not available offline -- only driving directions." https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/why-you-shou...

So Google Maps offline may actually be useless for hiking? This would also explain why I had trouble using Google Maps offline on my last bike trip.

That is fantastic. Swift in the Mac has something similar thanks to the Accelerate framework. What I’ve seen, however, is that if you are targeting a very specific platform (for example, the M1 family), you get better performance by directly using the intrinsics supported by that platform. In the real world, you are unlikely to actually have such a specific target, so this may not be so important.

I look forward to seeing some benchmarks with .NET - Microsoft needs to support a pretty wide variety of platforms. It will be interesting to see if their implementation is better!
They do, and using the installer we recommend enables Flakes and the Nix command out of the box: https://zero-to-nix.com/start/install#up.

No, the cash cow is ads, search is incidental.

Showing a quick answer from AI is no worse for them than showing a quick answer from their knowledge graph (which they already do when available).

What matters monetarily is the people searching "best 2023 SUV" and clicking on dealer ads.
I don't know what any of this means but making it up in my head comes up with a pretty amusing scene.
It's extremely cheap.
> and that activity can be managed by the people paying the teacher, ie the taxpayers/representatives

In this case, Florida has decided to manage that activity by making it a felony to merely happen to have a book on the shelf that's not on the pre-approved list.
That's a good steel man argument, thanks for articulating it. The irony is, they are solving "activists who defacto teach things that shouldn't be taught" by themselves becoming "activists who ban things from being taught". Opposite side of the same coin.
I only own one paper map, and it is specifically for art. I've traveled extensively and I wanted a way to track where I've been, so it's stapled to a pin-board, so I can put push-pins in after I visit somewhere. I've been primarily using a portable form of GPS for more than a decade, even before Google Maps.
Eh, I disagree. Teachers should be given some leeway in their pedagogy as long as they meet expectations.

Something I don't understand is why Disney and others need to have their own streaming service.

Why Netflix can't sit down with Disney and merge the two streaming services. Disney is amazing at making content, so is Netflix at the moment.

They could take a look at the present, their market cap, debt and so on and structure a solution that would:

1. Make Netflix the best streaming service with the best content, also best variety as it would have all of Disney

2. Fix the negative cashflow from Disney and its streaming service AND give them a good amount of control of Netflix, and its profits

I doubt Amazon or Apple would be able to compete against Netflix in that sense. Their content is also good, but hard to compare against a Netflix+Disney combo. They would easily eat a lot subscribers from the competition.

Also, business-wise, it would make a lot of sense for Disney. They wouldn't need to support their crappy app or do any engineering work at all, because they aren't anywhere as close as Netflix in that sense, and they will need at least a decade to get where Netflix is, maybe never, as they don't seem to be able to know how to run a technology company AT ALL.

Also users would be happier and thankful again, as they don't need to pay for so many services. Right now it is a fucking pain in the ass.
As I mature in this industry I find it hard to agree, even though I draw my experience from organisations outside the FAANG if it’s still a thing. Dead weight, is in my experience no more than 2%, where I qualify dead weight as someone who cannot add value or is actively detrimental. Most people can add more value than they currently do. Many more people do not match their capacity, but that is mostly out of bad allocation of work etc. That bad allocation could be improved with restructuring but crowded and rigid management hierarchies are often the reason organisations don’t grow at the risk of diluting the self perceived value of upper-middle management. I think this round of layoffs will see a rebalance across sectors with banking etc. looking at huge resourcing demands that are inelastic (e.g. regulation) pulling in some of the talent. Similar to Covid layoffs outside tech, my prediction is the inversion will start soon.
Although fentanyl is used for anesthesia, especially for deep sedation, it is not the only option. From the article:

“The anti-fentanyl antibodies were specific to fentanyl and a fentanyl derivative and did not cross-react with other opioids, such as morphine. That means a vaccinated person would still be able to be treated for pain relief with other opioids,” said Haile

So they could still use other opioids for anesthesia.
Good summary. Couple notes/IMOs...

HBO Max is great, but it's tied to a terrible management/company anchor. Rumor is now they are going to drop the trusted HBO brand smh.

Netflix is well positioned, but a player like Disney is also setup to acquire other streamers as they fall over from cost structure issues. I think we're about to see mass consolidation.

Finally, I'm kind of sad that I think the content 'golden era' is likely coming to a close. Cheap money and the fighting for subs led to more money being spent on content relative to what subs paid than at any other point in history. If nothing new was ever made again, I think the list my wife and I already have to watch is longer than time we have left living.
Spotify latest tech name to cut jobs, axes 6% of workforce
"Some kids blocked traffic in London for 1 day, and suddenly people paid attention."

Yeah, I know. We have the same in germany. The common people now do pay attention to the road blockers and want them all jailed as terrorists. I just do not see, how this will help the cause.

"If people were more hysterical, and the HQ of offending corporation burned down occasionally, then Nestle would sort itself out prompto"

Yes, they would simply tighten up security.

Rage is just rage, it does not solve anything, unless it is channeled constructivly. Lynch mobs just create a state of fear and people driven by fear seldom act smart. We do need the rage to act, but just acting does not improve anything. It is the right act, that can improve.

There was this big rage about poverty and exploitation that lead to socialism. But do you really think, that the socialist states improved anything? I was born into such a state. I do not think so. They were worse for the workers and worse for the environment.
I had never heard this part about Blockbuster:

> Blockbuster ... started with Blockbuster Online, an entity that was completely separate from Blockbuster’s retail business for reasons of both technology and culture...a test version went live on July 15, 2004 — the same day as Netflix’s quarterly earnings call

Blockbuster really snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. The corporate incentives had become completely backward. As we commonly see time and again in oldline companoes like GE, Sears, Google, Boeing...
an interesting thought experiment is to ponder just how many skills are being lost due to technology. I know how to read a map and how to find rough compass bearings but i was never in a situation where i needed either skill. Could i manage without GPS - probably but i’m not confident.

If GPS died tomorrow because of a solar flare, would the younger generations manage?
I had a similar setup when WSL1 was initially released, but I couldn't wait for GUI support. Switched to Linux only a couple weeks later, and haven't reinstalled Windows in years.

Obviously everyone's needs/setup is a bit different though, I was mostly quipping about the PS5 comparison. Looks like a good machine though, enjoy!
At least in the defense business, selling means "I'm Done". Whoever is buying is hoping to get some prefunded R&D - it is damn hard to fund R&D in a traditional contractor - and whoever's selling is all done developing and is ready to cash out. It's value extraction and destruction, nothing more.

There's a dark side, of course. If you're a small contractor, and you deny the offer, you're going to get chased out of the marketplace by not just the guy with the offer, but by all of his friends as well. They've got their corporate office within driving distance of every whorehouse servicing Logan Circle, and you have a research block and maybe an airfield lease. Unless you've been squatting on a personal fortune, in which case maybe you can run some Towncars to the Circles yourself.

So if you're ever in the situation, just sell the thing. Yeah, they'll crush any value left in your magic widget, but the whole edifice is effed, and it's not worth trying to fix a house from the bottom of the shitter.
Thank you =)! I'm really happy to hear that the work we're doing is landing with you.
Maybe because other people search in different places.
Events/Businesses: Google Maps, Instagram

Google is for searching new sources of information and either it’s instant (google info box) or takes too long which makes a lasting memory about it being painful.
Don't know why you're being downvoted as the role of educational companies seems to be pretty large in the standardization and homogenization of schools and curriculums. Compared to the large publishers most school districts are pretty small fish- they don't have time to ensure compliance with all the regulations and standards, so their only choice is to buy a curriculum from a publisher. And of course buying a curriculum is not a one time expense- it's all licensed/subscription based and basically a direct pipeline from local taxpayers' pockets to large corporate publishers.
There are a lot of finicky things that go into training a model as large as this.

But that knowledge will disperse and is already held in many competitor companies. I do not think that OpenAI has a substantial moat here.
The core question is how many employees do you need run a stable internet business?

Stable means no massive new product lines, growth, etc.

Spotify is what it is. An app across a handful platforms, streaming infrastructure, and a legal/purchasing dept for music rights.

Does this need 7000 people? Zero chance. Is it 1000? 700? 250? No ones knows yet, but everyone remembers WhatsApp at acquisition and watches Twitter to kind of continue without 80% of its former employee base.

The results of this study actually presents that PLA fumes are more toxic than ABS fumes.

In practice though, the study shows PLA is safer because of significantly less fume creation with the lower printing temperature.

So relative risk for PLA is significantly lower than ABS, but it is incorrect to state that PLA is less toxic.
OK, original poster doesn't speak about computable numbers: "consider the set of numbers that cannot be described using any finite collection of symbols"

It Was Always Going to Be This Way
I buy paper Ordnance Survey maps because they come with a scratch-off code to get the map in their digital app. You can also pay an annual subscription of about 50 quid to get coverage of the whole UK, but for my usage, which is limited to fairly small geographic areas, I prefer to pay the 8 or 9 quid each for the paper maps covering the areas I care about, which then gets me access to that map forever, rather than having an ongoing annual expense. And it's nice to have the paper map to be able to look at a larger area at once.
Let me translate this blog post out of corpspeak...:

OpenAI has agreed to use Azure exclusively and for free, in return for Azure massively scaling up it's GPU capacity (which OpenAI was hitting before, hence threatening to move). In return, OpenAI gives an extensive license to Microsoft to use ChatGPT in Bing (and other products).

Now why couldn't the blog post have just said that rather than hiding all the details?
I’ve always found that Scrum is suited for 2 environments only:

1. Pre-customer development

2. Contract development shops where you bill by the sprint

I’ve never seen good outcomes in a live product environment.

Usually the answer is Kanban for smaller teams or Scaled Agile for larger teams IMO…but the situation the OP is dealing with looks like they are prioritizing preventative work to stop these support tickets from having to come in in the first place.

Prevention measures for unplanned work are critical.

Except for the c state thing. I basically had to disable sleep on my Linux machine on 3950x, because when it would sleep, it would lock up and not come back. Funny thing is the windows VM kept responding fine. I could remote desktop into that, but I couldn't use the Ubuntu gui.

If there are some more recent fixes for this problem, don't hesitate to let me know.
Marketing. I also suspect that alot of Disney's most core userbase don't make up enough volume to make this profitable.

I consider myself an ardent Star Wars & Marvel fan and I just couldn't keep up anymore, so I axed Disney+.

Netflix still drops enough documentaries that I keep it around.
I disagree. Shared interest/circumstance may be a prerequisite to friendship, but friendship takes active effort. This is a simple consequence of the fact that the logistics of making time in one's schedule to see others, coordinating activities, emotional labor to support friends, etc., all are also prerequisite to friendship, and themselves take effort.

This is especially true because (I forget where I read this), statistically, most of your friends will be less socially assertive than you.

I know personally, if I stopped putting in effort to friendships -- positive friendships which bring net value into my life! -- all but maybe one or two would wither away, simply for want of ever seeing or interacting with each other.
Yes, but suggesting they read any book in particular might be a felony (especially if the state is paying you to educate them).
Are you a dev? Have you strictly worked at large tech companies?

‘No miracles needed’: Prof Jacobson on wind, sun and water powering the world
I worked briefly at FedEx corporate, and they made a big deal about their policy that a customer could never account for more than 30% of total volume.

Leadership often made it clear that Amazon was right at that limit, and wanted to send a lot more volume, but FedEx wouldn't let them, in order to maintain "independence."

To your point: it didn’t stop them from working to cater to Amazon’s every whim, and it did provide Amazon the incentive to build a (better and more cost-effective) fulfillment and shipping network themselves.

I don’t know what the “right” play was, and obviously the story is far from over. But FedEx always seemed to me like they chose the worst of both worlds.
How dreadful. Well, there's always Alltrails.
The problem is that Google's model relies almost entirely on advertising...and AI will simply be almost impossible to wrap into that model. Microsoft doesn't really have that handicap.
Opioid overdoses are typically due how opioids effect the brain, so this would prevent fentanyl from contributing to and overdose.
I can only see Microsoft acquiring Netflix on the horizon at this point.
Textures usually reside entirely in fast GPU accessible memory, but cache misses during sampling can still be a problem (so entirely random access across the whole texture is still worse then accessing nearby pixels). The texture data is 'scrambled' in memory for better 2D spatial locality though, so once in cache, access of pixel groups which are close together both horizontally or vertically is fast.

(disclaimer: I'm not a hardware guy, and I also don't know if this applies to all pixel formats and different GPU architectures - texture cache details are also notoriously bad documented by GPU vendors).
I sell residential RO systems. Industry wide the tubing is typically LDPE and the housings/fittings are mostly polypropylene. There is no real practical way to build a residential RO system without using these materials.

It's a trade off between different types of plastic / chemical exposure. Not really ideal but I suspect nearly all sources of treated water will have traveled through a similar amount of plastic to get to you.

Copper is avoided on RO systems because the post membrane water typically drops 1-3 points in PH and will slowly corrode and leech copper into the treated water. All post membrane fittings and tubing should be plastic/stainless, cheap brass fittings with high lead content are the biggest concern. This can be resolved with post membrane PH amendment but you then create a failure point that can cause heavy metal exposure or leaks if it isn't maintained.

You could build a system with steel housings and braided stainless hose but the size/weight and cost are not practical.
Part of this resurgence can undoubtedly be explained by the ready availability of high quality open geospatial data sources like OpenStreetMap.

The United States has always had a lot of open geospatial data available, but it's patchy, can be hard to find, and is of wildly varying quality. In Europe, open (geospatial) data has become the norm, but that wasn't the case even 10 years ago. And in spite of harmonization efforts, it can still be hard to cobble together map data that is consistent across countries from government sources.
This is not a requirement, sorry for the misleading documentation. We just rewritten everything and this bullet is probably a leftover from previous version of the docs. fixing it now.

You can actually put your NixOS config anywhere. Assuming you're not using flakes, `nixos-rebuild` finds the config through NIX_PATH:

grahamc@scruffy:~/ > echo $NIX_PATH

nixpkgs=/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixos:nixos-config=/etc/nixos/configuration.nix:/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels

you can change the `nixos-config` value to point to somewhere else, or call it like this:`nixos-rebuild -I nixos-config=./configuration.nix`
I totally get your point, that was a fun metaphor.
Yes, an I did indeed state that it was a "happy accident". 24 was chosen for pragmatic reasons but happened to, simultaneously, result in an amazing impressionistic effect. Both are possible.

That's ok, but then you probably don't want something that's "high quality" like the OP mentions, "cheap" is newspeak for "low quality"

Why? Amazon is known for vertical integration. And AWS has so many big customers that losing Stripe shouldn’t move the needle. Is Amazon playing possum to acquire them, and Stripe is playing along?
Is more education and being employed in a field of logic and reason likely to make one less receptive to fringe beliefs?

I don't think that is the real explanation because even I can think of how to monetize it. Just have AdWords read your chat and advertise to you based on it. Far from a clever idea, it's exactly the way search already works!
Why does it take 12k people to stream a song on my phone? I'm being kind of sarcastic but kind of not.
Ahh I wish I had gotten the chance to interact with new math majors more often. In grad school most of my students were engineering majors. I'm not super likely to end up back in academia. My published research is...sparse. I have post-doc opportunity but it's not the greatest, and the route to life stability is not so clear. Are you a math professor?
Yeah, as I understand it, this is actually more about emulating a (much more simple) FSM on a (finite, therefore pseudo-)TM ?

And so another thing that I thought would matter for software development is that you should be able to actually make the FSM write "outside of itself" without losing its FSM-ness, in the sense of not being able to later read it - which makes no sense talking generally, but does make sense in this context of emulation ?
