Not sure if this is the kind of not-embedding-fonts you're referring to, but in layout and design software you often see PDF saving options to either rasterize fonts or embed the fonts as vector curves.

I believe both Gimp and Inkscape have been able to do this for a while, for example.
It's probably easier to start a small business in Albania though than it is in the EU - mostly due to less regulation and, yes, also corruption - you need less money to bend the rules - and everybody can do that - not just those with pockets deep enough to lobby.
Thats a great article. And Im surprised how its being mis-represented here.

I agree with the author(As a blogger and fiction writer)-- you have to do your work alone, and then just put it out there. Sure you can get feedback once you have something polished (I dont but I know some peole like to), but the actual creative process has to be done by yourself. It is hard and lonely, but you have to push thru it if you want to get something done
At least from the trailer it feels a bit like the gameplay is vertical and in a straight line, like if it were a long corridor. They should show some turning left and right to see how does it work.

Some of the fonts (Beowolf) will never be duplicated because the font re-renders itself every time, which lead to some neat effects when ripped for print

There's an OpenType version, but since TT fonts aren't programs the way Postscript fonts are it's not really the same.

> I suspect Apple has data showing even more people prefer having a more reliable laptop (upgradeability tends to decrease reliability) and the perceived benefits of the Apple ecosystem

I wouldn't assume. Most Apple users I know conform with their devices one way or another (I used to be one of them myself). This could be just one more thing they can live without but would still rather have than not.

Apple won't decide something based on criticism alone or even based on what people want. They decide based on what will net bigger profit. In this case, you can just as easily guess that Apple has data showing that while overpriced parts, hostile repair policy and lack of upgradability bother everyone, all of these contribute massively to the bottom line and are not enough to drive people away en masse.

However, criticism is still important since it can help in some decisions where it can be the determining factor or the missing nudge towards one direction over the other.

The issue is Chlorine "breaks down".

The results of reaction

Cl2 --> 2Cl

from energy from "sunlight" is reactive and will reverse the reaction and get back to Cl2 or
maybe

2H2O + 2Cl --> 2HCl + O2

hydrochloric acid, also very reactive.

It's still Chlorine, reactive and dangerous, destructive and has not broken down.

Yes, the Chlorine may react.

Again, once again, over again, yet again, one more time, the Chlorine will NOT

===>>>"break down"<<<===

Simple. High school science simple.

This whole exchange seems to have nothing, nichts, nil, nada to do with Chlorine or chemistry but just, for whatever reason, arguing just to be arguing.

I'm not interested in the arguing, and I have no more to say about the chemistry.

The adoption of the so-called "Software 2.0" depends on how influential OpenAI is as a company. The majority of the use-cases of GPT-3 are only about "remixing" information, and the "notoriety" of the AI is (IMO) mostly a publicity stunt; I'm assuming that there are prompts for personalities / jokes / poems / etc that are never shown to the end-user and are hailed as an "organic outcome" of the model. Obviously, no one can check for these right now. Seems to me that microsoft has taken a few leaves out of the OpenAI playbook and applied them (rather chaotically).

So when you're looking at actually writing software that needs to be dependable / modifiable / bug free, you'd need a massive overhaul of whatever software stack is being used, so there's very little human-assisting "cruft", and instead you'd want a lot of supporting material for a model, which might look like something written in languages used for formal verification of programs.

The promise of GOFAI was about having a human-understandable bottom-to-top framework, and the current "AI" paradigm is at odds with it. The "formal verification" assumption, then, skews towards GOFAI. But since there has to be some human support for the current not-there-yet AI to write software, we might see yet another abstraction layer based on NN / something newer in the years to come.
Sounds like you're just describing "personality" then. If you can't define what constitutes a gender, then there is no such thing as a gender and therefore no need to transition between them.

It chimes with people in the late C19th / early C20th complaining about the fact they were overloaded by news because newspapers were being published on a weekly and then daily basis.
It is, we're now installing CiA 402 or "CAN in Automation CANopen Drives and Motion" servos (which didn't exist at the time the first ones were built) running on an EtherCAT real-time protocol stack. That will hopefully make replacing servos in the future relatively seamless.

Unfortunately, though, just using a CAN or Ethernet physical layer doesn't solve the problem of the https://xkcd.com/927/ standards proliferation of industrial protocols: Some customers require CIP motion over Ethernet/IP (a dog-slow Rockwell proprietary protocol), there's old MACRO fiber optic rings, Sercos III (and prior serial protocols), a dozen high-speed serial standards for communicating with absolute encoders, and, of course, good old-fashioned hardwired digital I/O - which might be either analog velocity/torque or step and direction, RS422 differential or single-ended, etc. etc. etc.

You'd hope that you could just plug something that spoke CAN or Ethernet into something else that has the same physical interface, and the two would work together. Sometimes, you get lucky and that works out. But the ever-forward march of industry leaves behind a graveyard of yesteryear's abandoned products and protocols.
You can run this today on a consumer GPU at slow speed, using swapping and 4-bit weights (which works surprisingly well and is the new hot topic now)

Yes, maximizing daylight is critical in colder climates. You want to capture as much sunlight as possible in your 16 waking hours, which often means starting your day during the foreglow before sunrise.

I'm a night owl from southern California, and when I lived in England for a bit I was surprised to find how depressing it was to enter the world at noonish, only for the sun to set after a few hours, and then having to resign myself to the indoors shortly after that. It was just a dreary way to live. (Yes, I realize England isn't even that cold.)

I like the nights, but I also love having the option to be out and about in the warm evenings. When those mild evenings are taken away, there's more motivation for people to callus themselves to the early morning alarm clocks.
@nerdponx Open AI only generate a validation schema.We have our own schema generation engine for any custom validation which can be used where Open AI is not able to understand or generate correct schema.Yes you are absolutely right.Open AIs output is not always right.We have integrated a JSON parser which validate Open AI output and currently developing a regex parser which validates Open AIs output.Hope it answers your query..Happy to understand your pain point more.

Notes:

I toss my notes in a shoebox and stick the shoebox in a cupboard. [1]

Eventually, I stumble on the shoebox, look at the notes and throw them out.

Ideas:

"Idea" is a four letter word.

I start on the thing I am thinking about or I let it go.

Ideas that I am not acting on aren't worth holding onto.

Knowledge:

I remember where to look should it be useful.

Or I Google it again.

---

None of this was true when I was younger.

Back then, I behaved as though my notes and papers would go to an archive in a prestigious museum. As though ideas were valuable and rare. As if there was a multiple choice test on the-material on Tuesday, the 25th.

I made these things ends in themselves.

Now I just make stuff instead of taking notes.

This makes it clear whether or not an intellectual interest is an entertaining rabbit hole or something I can act upon.

The hard part is to accept that there are many many interesting things that I can't participate in. Like compiler internals, space exploration, and DIY sawmills.

Good luck.

His social progressiveness might have been more about wanting to get rid of morality laws in general, because they were getting in the way of his business expansion, than a genuine belief in those causes. Probably a mix of the two, even if he started out pushing for business reasons, getting involved in any cause gives one an opportunity to hear that group's point of view and a chance to become sympathetic to it. Either way, it ended being good for his fame and fortune.

Well that makes it less obscure but if you're telling something in the form of a children's story with cartoons, dropping AI as a concept in the middle of it when you were talking about ancient cultures.

If you're going to use analogies, use analogies.

Sometimes you have to drop the cleverness and just talk to people.

I skeptical that non upgradability increases reliability. I have never heard this claim before. I have heard it decreases thickness and weight, both of which people might like, but increasing reliability? How much of that can just be attributed to improved components as manufacturing gets more sophisticated?

I think this is just down to most people not caring. I like the idea of upgradability as an abstract concept, but didn't necessarily use the options when available.

your overlay network fabric infrastructure - ziti edge routers - leverage the ziti edge client API to submit CSRs for new certs x days before expiry.

for client endpoints, there are currently 2 choices and at least 3 in the future:

1. admins chooses to enable client endpoints to continue to auth with expired client certs. the admin revokes access (when necessary) at an endpoint level or at a service level (least privileged access) via those constructs, rather than cert constructs.

2. admins don't permit expired certs to be used. the admin is managing the certs.

3. as a third choice for client endpoints, ziti has plans to enable admins to use the API used by the fabric infra mentioned above. this is future, with timing mainly dependent on openziti community priorities and related work.
Maybe that's the point? Breaking backwards compatibility, even if for a noble intention towards a better future, results in practice in annihilation of the past. No good deed goes unpunished.

I think it is really interesting that their is a strong consensus that WeWork is less admirable because it was burning capital for the founder's benefit, while Uber is OK because it burnt capital* for the benefit of the VCs that were able to sell it off to the public market. In the first case the VCs were burned, in the second case Joe Public (and his insurance fund/ his retirement fund) was burned.

* Uber is a valuable company, but I think it is safe to say it will never be profitable enough to justify an $82b valuation in 2019. Some day it will make FASBY profits purely from operations without having to sell a subsidiary that they built or invested in with the huge amount of capital they received.
yes, can be tricky, as you state. see above for the openziti approach.
According to Wikipedia, OpenAI did create GPT[0] and the GPT-3 model[1], which this tool depends on, is exclusively available through the OpenAI API. It's true that some open alternatives to GPT-3 have been popping up but I believe they are still behind in terms of quality.

I have a theory that meditation/mindfulness is essentially just an excercise in self-erasure. This can be beneficial to some degree in that we all need to erase those negative associations and question our assumptions. However, carried to an extreme, it can erase some of the associations we need to make in order to live and create extreme hyper-selfawareness. Or in other words, you open up your mind too much, your brains start to fall out.

there is a roaring trade on ebay/aliexpress configuring generic HDMI/VGA->LCD panel driver boards. once you strip down the monitor, get the model number of the actual panel and google/ebay/aliexpress search for <panel model> + hdmi driver and you will probably find one in the $20-$40 range. a typical example is take a 1st/2nd gen iPad which has been locked out (and therefore useless to anyone trying to unlock it without the original iCloud account) usually sell for about $/£10 on ebay, strip out the panel and pair with a $20 HDMI->LCD interface for a standalone 9.7" IPS monitor (albeit at 1024x768 res but the clarity is amazing)
I like the idea of Conway's Law, but I also like to be critical of vague theories. Maybe it is asking too much, but I don't see people using it in a testable way. This isn't just selection or survivorship bias; I think the "law" itself is too vague to admit a true experiment, even an associative one. I'm happy to be shown to be wrong... or that I'm missing the point.

Another way of making this point is: what could make Conway's Law totally wrong? What evidence could do that? It seems like shifting sands -- there is always something that fits the "pattern"; the problem is the pattern is not defined a priori: it feels like getting your organization's palm read.

I worked for Oracle in their Broomfield, Colorado campus. There was an alcove off a hallway that had bookshelves and a library that had been apparently inherited from StorageTek, an acquisition of Sun Microsystems before Sun was in turn bought by Oracle. It was a fascinating snapshot of mid-90s (mostly) tech books, but there were some interesting cultural books including African American studies. Basic HTML books, several O'Reilly books with the bear postcard in them still (I stole one =) ) but the best one for me was a book about OpenVMS Digital Command Language, on which I cut my teeth in the 1980s. It was a favorite place for me to spend a few minutes after lunch in the cafeteria on my way back to my desk.

I currently work for Western Digital and recently someone put a bunch of tech books out on a credenza in one of the collaboration areas with a note inviting people to borrow them. Not exactly a library, but it reminded me of the nostalgia people are expressing here about the big batches of books we used to lug around from cubicle to cubicle (often using an office chair).
Yes! I used to play loads of it as a kid, I just found it completely fascinating. I think I only discovered it because it was given away as a freebie with a Polish computer/games magazine "CD-Action" whose main gimmick was that released monthly and always had a full game attached to the magazine, once they grew big they always managed to secure some pretty big(for the time) titles.

Those aren't good enough, you really need a formally verified language.

Yeah I had similar thoughts about OTS when training for one myself — but I think it’s a lot easier to push into that hypothetical 99.99 percentile than you think.

Like maybe 1/20 people will ever do something as intense as a triathlon, in general. So we’re already at 95%. Then maybe 10% of triathletes will do a full Ironman. 99.5%. Of that top level who train for an Ironman, half are not training that hard and just having fun. 99.75%.

So if you’re someone who is training hard for an Ironman, you’re already well beyond the 99th percentile. But still only a small fraction of people who train for an Ironman have any issues with it. But if you’re at that level, you’re already close to the top and it’s not a crazy stretch to think you could get there if you got a bit carried away.

Similar with meditation, I think the analogy works. If you’re consistently meditating for 10min per day for several straight months, that’s more than most people would ever do.
@l33t233372 you are absolutely spot on.

Yeah, I did actually consider replying "but, why?" but that seemed in poor form on someone's announcement.

That's because they are more expensive, not because Apple is slower on innovation.
Why not do it more often?
At best, your opinion is equally baffling. You're suggesting a one-size-fits-all solution which would be worse than the current situation since you can generally choose earlier or later classes. Eliminating early classes will hurt people who do well in the morning.
A step beyond that, Software 2.0 and beyond does not generate source code. Your app simply lives in the LLM.
Agreed. We may imagine ourselves very smart but in my experience most people do not understand probability and statistics well.

Is 90% accuracy good enough? Is 95%? 99%? 99.9%? No matter the answer, you have to tolerate errors. Now your stakeholders have to tolerate errors. Are they going to accept errors just because "Software 2.0" is here and that's what we all have to live with? Nope.
Why do you feel the need to defend apple in this case?
I think it's too early to tell, neither Microsoft nor OpenAI have something to show that is trustworthy. If that is their goal they can still be first.
That's precisely why I got an M1 MacBook (typed from Asahi Linux). I've also run Windows in a VM quite a bit on it since it's a fantastic Windows laptop, even if it means running it virtualized.
The city looks very 3D so there’s plenty of opportunity for the same kind of gameplay. Ie I need to below the car in front of me so I can make a sharp enough turn at speed to make it up a narrow gap.

You could as easily say that Python is a specialized skill, and is cheaper than maintaining a fleet of manual assembly coders. Yet we hire even more of these higher level coders, and pay them more.
