>concise: json, yaml and xml are too verbose imho
I'm very surprised you include yaml in this. It doesn't seem to require me to use any syntax except a colon to separate the name from the value. (and optionally indentation to specify when something is logically a child value). How can that be too verbose? What would be a less verbose version?

You and others have all mentioned variables and placeholders to avoid repetition. How do you suggest specifying a variable?

> unambiguous: indentation, capitalisation, the type of quotes etc shouldn't be syntactically relevant

since you say types of quotes shouldn't be relevant how do you suggest I differentiate a generated image from a named one? I was thinking of making it:

module_image:"images/module.png"

to specify the path if the user created their own image, or allow them to generate one using:

module_image: generate

if they want the script to generate one using the module name, or they can follow generate with a prompt in quotes like this:

module_image=generate "keywords to use for image generation"

This would mean there are three formats module_image: would support depending on whether and where quotes are used. Without using quotes to differentiate, how would you suggest I let the user ask the script to generate the image for them rather than naming the location of the image?

Thank you for your feedback.
One might invest 20 seconds to learn how to use it, but to each their own :)
Ok, I read the description as quite literal not hyperbolic.
> All I'm saying is that since there are mistakes, we know for a fact there isn't an accurate world model at play.

But I'm saying something different: even if a system has a world model that it believes is accurate, it still should be making intentional "mistakes" to test the world model in unusual circumstances, just like we continue to stress test thermodynamics, electromagnetism, gravity, etc.

So the evidence that GPT still makes mistakes is not necessarily evidence that it doesn't have an accurate world model. It could be evidence that it has a very rational approach to handling evidence (you should never have 100% confidence!) and is continuously testing world models.
I find the main benefit is to actually start working on jobs that are necessary but unpleasant. For this I do a 15 mins work / 5 mins break. I tell myself "only 15 minutes, then a break". Then I can actually convince myself to start the unpleasant task, as I know I have an "out". It's a bit of a mind hack.

>Your comment about variables for usable values reminded me that it would be nice if the configuration file parser could reference other variables and sections of the configuration file to avoid repeating oneself in the same configuration file.

How do you suggest specifying a variable?
What’s the current state of the art for electric charging times? There’s a big difference in frequent 5 minute stops for gas, where a 30 minute charge would be a deal breaker.
Interesting thought - do you mean like a line of text that displayed above that verbally described what's happening?

I was considering adding some more detailed text-based output on the command-line detailing what was going on, but I didn't think about adding it directly into the image/video.
On the contrary, I think HFR can make improvements (or unlock new possibilities) for very routine shots, like panning and zooming.
My thought is that being "reference-driven" is kinda weird and not a good way of evaluating technology.

When it comes to international security, I don't think those in charge think about TSMC more than just in passage. Just look at Ukraine. The US is helping Ukraine a lot, but there's pretty much nothing that Ukraine is/was producing that the US needs.
You can call sysconf(_SC_PAGESIZE) to get page size. Problem with transparent huge pages is that you get regular page size (4k) from sysconf(), but then OS sometimes use 2M instead.

Just switching to larger regular page size (e.g. 64k) on platforms that support it would not have problems associated with THP.
>> Are there designs that don't use thermal paste?

Yes. Glue. Paste is for when you might want to one day separate part from heatsink. If you don't care about repairs, it is perfectly reasonable to just glue them together with thermal adhesive.
I'm currently watching through House of Cards. Not exactly a high CGI series full of special effects which need high FPS to look smooth. Yet the incredibly low FPS is jarring at times. Turns out people like to put big sweeping camera movements even in non-CGI movies.
This surprised me because I’d watched No Sudden Move by Soderbergh relatively recently and thought it looked pretty good. Reading more it seems like only Unsane and High Flying Bird were shot on phones (the latest of which was 2019).
Thanks for checking it out!

Would be great to get any feedback you might have if you get the chance to install/test it out.
I said github, not git. You don't need to use a cloud service to use git for synchronization.
Combustion and hybrids will be banned in most markets by 2035-40. Until then, it'll market of declining sales year after year.

Investing in anything in them is a huge mistake. It's like investing in improving black and white tv at a time when color tv have 10% market share and growing 50% a year.

Car companies have no choice but to sell ICE for a while. The demand is still there and they can't convert to EV production overnight.

Yet, the winner of tomorrow will be companies that convert to EV quickly and without going bankrupt. Spending $1B on non-EV technology is not going to help GM do that.
this is a serious question, and the answers bring the reader back to the fundamental promises of a civil society.. not at all simple
Bounty hunters are not really a thing in the way you’re thinking - they can’t just go to Japan, investigate someone, arrest them and bring back someone from there for instance. They’re for returning someone already arrested who jumped bail somewhere. And they typically don’t work internationally, as their legality is dubious even within a specific jurisdiction.

For something major, it’s generally already possible to investigate and get someone extradited already, for instance, when the cultural gaps aren’t too large and the cultures have a common agreement on what a ‘major crime’ is and looks like. Murder, for instance.

The issue is the bar for ‘major enough’ gets higher and higher the more jurisdictions/cultures you cross, and it is super easy now to scam across a large enough gap there that no one is going to arrest or participate in investigating all but the largest and most blatant scams.

Good luck getting someone arrested in Russia, Nigeria, China, etc. for wire fraud, for example.
I definitely missed or forgot the overhyped target.
This iteration of shake-up is not strictly about tech superiority, though. Google probably already has a repro of ChatGPT running in their datacenters.

Fundamentally, it's about product, and expectation shift. I am presently routinely having conversations, and for the first time in the history of the Internet, getting straight answers to moderately complex questions, and their follow-ups, in real time, from ChatGPT. Google's entire business model is "giving people pages on the Internet that might contain those answers", and some of those being paid for the user's clicks.

If I get the full answer, instantly, wrapped in 2 paragraphs of text.... where do the ads go? Editorials inside the answer? Why would I click them?
> metric, it turns out has no more purity in it's base units than any other system.

The base units are still somewhat arbitrary, in that they are based on this planet: the meter is related to the gradian and the circumference of the Earth. Celsius is based on the freezing and boiling point of water in our atmosphere. Mass is based on a specific volume water.

If we were to set up a system now we could base it on fundamental physical constants (e.g planck or atomic units). But then we would have the same problem that the US currently has: endless arguments about how the old system is so much more 'natural' and convenient than the new one. The fact is that the rest of the world has gone metric, and the US will too, eventually.

But SI has 2 things that the Imperial and US Customary systems do not have:

1. It is coherent: the base units and the derived units relate to each other simply without arbitrary conversion factors. With Imperial and US units you can't even convert between length, area, and volume without them.

2. It is based on powers of 10. There is only one unit for each quantity, and a single system of common multipliers.

> Personally I think an si system set up around base twelve would kick ass

If we had 12 fingers and used base 12 in everyday life, then a measurement system based on multiples of 12 would be awesome. Base 12 is much better than base 10. But we don't.

That's also an opinion and you are stretching the art comparison quite much, 24fps is a standard and limitation and photo/film most often is to capture some reality and not so much an interpretation of someone else's view in Monet sense? Most often the cinematic art part comes in on other dimensions, even if for some few it is those 24fps and other limitations.
>To many observers, these findings debunked the intuitive concept of free will. After all, if neuroscientists can infer the timing or choice of your movements long before you are consciously aware of your decision, perhaps people are merely puppets, pushed around by neural processes unfolding below the threshold of consciousness.

I never understood this mindset. So if you interrupt and siphon off some of the brain's signaling, you can tell what someone is preparing to do before they even consciously know it? So what? Did those people presume that the body is a black box where all things are atomic operations?

Free will is not severely impacted by the fact that there are biological processes that lead up to the action we take. I liken it to sending an image to a slow computer that takes a moment to decode and display the image. If you connect a faster computer to the input signal, siphon it off, you can tell what that slower computer is going to display before it can actually do it.

To me, free will is more impacted by the existence of conditioning and bias - things that we consciously think we are deciding of 100% free will are actually influenced by the experience of our life before. Sure, we always have free will in the sense that we can consciously choose what we do at any given moment. However, it's also possible to heavily influence this in a person, through a number of means, and in that sense we are prone to having our free will subverted. The real answer to free will is a psychological answer, not a biological one.
I'd say the chances of most people being shot inside an inner city ghetto are also small.

But I'm going to guess those complaining about the risk of being shot dead in an American city are unwilling to say the current interpretation of the 2nd amendment is a factor, or that we simply have too many guns.
> But maybe it can be that it is public knowledge and I'm one of the ten thousand who doesn't know? If so, do you have a link?

Nope, it was just a thought. Sorry if I came off as implying shaddy things. I agree with what you wrote and it would be surprising something like that had been going on for years without anyone noticing (or revealing it).

I suppose it'd be less expensive to advertise a show outside of Netflix UI.

Yes? There's a ton of AI upscales coming out and they're becoming really good; plenty examples on youtube including iconic scenes from iconic movies. Perhaps another 12 months max before AI upscales go from enthusiast/amateur remaster community to commercial.
>On a related note, why is Netflix's interface so locked down?

Partly this the fault of Apple. They championed the idea that UI is an artistic expression and therefore 'configurability' and 'customizability' is akin to heresy. This view has now infected many existing products.

Part of the reason why many companies jumped on this bandwagon is also because 'customizability' is hard(er) to build in, and certainly more expensive to maintain.
Because film has a color grade built in to some extent ewhile digital does not.

This isn’t what the comment I replied to was suggesting, which is important because the NN training algorithm isn’t how humans observe creative work, nor how we make insights. But, yes, the same standards apply whether your deterministic machine is silicon based, or meat based. Copyright law applies to both. If you reproduce significant parts of a fixed performative work, then you are in violation of the law. If your algorithm mixes enough snippets from enough sources, then it’s hard to tell, and you probably won’t get caught, but it doesn’t really change the fact that you’re mechanically copying. FWIW, copyright precedent in music seems to allow human-made remixes that involve multiple sources, as long as the work as a whole is original and doesn’t reproduce significant parts of the sources.
Now that I think about it, dodgy isn't used everywhere but it wouldn't feel out of place if someone used it here in the US unlike other commonwealth words like bonnet or solicitor.
As amazing as this would be, I think game devs will shy away from AI NPCs simply for maintaining some continuity and storyline.

Oblivion was ahead of it's time in allowing a massive array of NPC actions. NPCs would take all sorts of random actions, with game altering effects. A vital quest character could end up in the dungeons for pickpocketing, and you would have no idea how to complete the quest.

And while some players loved it, the consensus seemed to be that this was disruptive to the storyline. Hence the more sanitized interactions in Skyrim.

There was an article about a year ago that explains this. There was an internal, political battle between a lady who produced most of the Netflix originals that really hurt it out of the park like House of Cards and The Queens Gambit and folks who wanted more, but cheaper production. Well, she got fired. The international stuff AFAIK is just licensed by Netflix.

What exactly is the credibility of Robert Lindsay who describes themselves as:

«BA Journalism […] teaching credential. Political activist, linguist, amateur cold case murders sleuth, psychological counselor (!), long-time K-12 schoolteacher. Former paralegal, freelance journalist, magazine editor, field linguist, and cultural anthropologist. Founder of the Alt Left political movement. Interviewed on radio multiple times. Multiple offers to be on TV and in movies […]».

As well as describing the study method in the «Method» section on p.2:

«First, a Net search was done of forums where speakers of Slavic languages were discussing how much of other Slavic languages and lects they understand»

Also in the «Limitations» section on p. 5:

«The first limitation in this study is that it relies heavily on self-reports from native speakers on how much they understand of the other language. Although this would seem to be an excellent way to study this question, the problem is that speaker reports can be off by quite a bit».

Nevertheless. The paper reports the following results:

(Ukrainian is not clearly defined here, so I assume Standard Ukrainian is meant) «Ukrainian: Oral intelligibility: 90% of Balachka, 85% of Eastern Ukrainian, Transcarpathian Rusyn and Surzyk; 75% of Belarussian, 72% of Podlachian, 67% of Lemko Rusyn, 50% of Russian, 45% of Eastern Slovak, 40% of Polish, 35% of Russian, 25% of Kashubian, 20% of Slovak and Serbo-Croatian, and 12% of Hutsul Rusyn. Written intelligibility: 90% of Slovak, 85% of Russian, 60% of Bulgarian, and 50% of Polish».

Reported oral intelligibility of Russian by Ukrainians is cited at 50% followed by 35% in the same sentence and stands at 85% for written Russian. Even for such highly questionable numbers (50 and 35 – being stated merely a few words apart) and a more reassuring 85% figure, the result is clearly not «… Ukrainian inherent intelligibility of Russian is close to zero».

«Canadian Ukrainian: Oral intelligibility: 5% of Russian».

I am not sure what Canadian Ukrainian is.

«Western Ukrainian: Oral intelligibility: 79% of Lemko Rusyn, 75% of Rusyn, 60% of Eastern Ukrainian, 57% of Polish and Eastern Slovak, 40% of Slovak, and 30% of Russian».

30% intelligibility of spoken Russian. Sufficiently not a zero.

«Eastern Ukrainian: Oral intelligibility: 85% of Ukrainian, 70% of Russian, and 60% of Western Ukrainian».

Stands at 70% of the intelligibility for the spoken Russian. Not close to zero by any definition.

It also inadvertently back up the fact that Eastern and Western Ukrainian are sufficiently distinct from each other.

Since you seem to have a trouble reading in general, and do not appear to have read the only (questionable) source you have provided so far, it is a moot point to carry on with the discourse, for there is none to be had. Enjoy your fermented beverage and your crack with mates down at the pub.
If you believe that restorative justice is an effective way to reduce recidivism, it’s essential that a court act as a meeting place between a defendant and their community. For this reason, you want a defendant’s legal representation to be a peer so there is a shared understanding of the particularities of their community.
There are some pretty distinct cultural differences between Western and Eastern cultures, far too many and far too nuanced for me to explain in a brief HN comment. We’re talking thousands of years of culture, language, history, etc.

As my original comment was saying, the reason Western people get so confused by Japan is that it is technologically “ahead” in many ways while apparently “behind” culturally, from the Western perspective. This cognitive dissonance is a result of the Progress ideal which merged culture and technology into one entity. This isn’t the case with other countries that are just perceived as being “behind” entirely, technologically and culturally.

Focusing on whether or not it has "visual flair" or not seems to be slightly missing the point. For what it's worth I found the visuals solid, but not mind blowing, and yes it does feel quite 'Netflix' in places. However beyond that, Sandman is probably the best example of a virtually panel by panel comic book to live action adaptation I've seen.

Just getting to watch David Thewlis as John Dee stealing every scene he's in and seeing what Gaiman managed to do with his second chance at doing 24 Hour Diner is easily worth the price of admission. Add to that the pitch perfect recreation of The Sound of Her Wings, and the surprisingly well done Dream of a Thousand Cats and Calliope and you have show that more than makes up for some of its missteps (I thought the collectors convention didn't work anywhere near as well as it did in the comics for example). If you don't want to watch the whole thing, I recommend giving episodes 4-6 + 11 a go.
