Hardware acceleration in robotics news. RobotPerf, benchmarking interest for robots grows, PRESS RELEASE: Acceleration Robotics announces the 1st meeting of the Architectures and Processors Working Group (GTAP) of the AESEMI, How ChatGPT can control robots
Warcraft 3 was where DOTA really came from, I played it when it was Aeon of Strife. And there were other similar maps (one was "mechwarrior" and there was also Force Majeure) and some actually hard leveling RPGs that you'd generally die midway through on. Good stuff.

Warcraft 2 to Starcraft to Warcraft 3 is an interesting heritage for League and DOTA that I haven't thought of. This is what happens after 20 years of purebreeding, gross it's deformed and toxic towards humans.

And then the MOBA genetics was crossbred with Team Fortress 2 to produce... Overwatch. A hideous shell of its former self both mematically and in gameplay. Twisted and evil, a dark and toxic degeneracy of the gameplay you once knew and loved.

Social workers are proposing forced sterilization for disabled people in parts of Western Europe. They have, of course, chosen to change the term to "forced anticonception".

Their case is that the attitude of one woman and one couple are causing too much stress, but really costs, on the social sector.

The woman is a prostitute that would allegedly offers sex with a visibly pregnant woman to increase her revenue. She has declared in court she doesn't mind if the child is taken away, in fact she wants that.

The other are a couple, both have Down syndrome. A very important detail is that Down syndrome, despite being a genetic problem, IS NOT hereditary, so their kids are healthy. Well, not 100%, but they certainly don't have Down syndrome. Now for this couple this is actually a problem, since these kids rapidly grow smarter than their parents ... at age 6-7-8, at which point they completely control their parents and the situation has "exploded" more than once, in fact more than a hundred times.

The couple have declared, in court, that "they will keep trying until they get to keep one".

This brings a number of weird consequences. For example, if you're worried about the future offspring then you should probably allow Down syndrome children to procreate, and in fact allow this at lower ages than 18 (because they have reduced lifespan, if you want them to have good odds of seeing their kids graduate, they must have kids before the age of 26 or so, and at 26 only half will be seeing their kids' high school graduation from their deathbed in a hospital, the other half will not see it).

On the other hand, if effects on offspring are your worry, you should probably forcibly abort babies in healthy women merely because they drink alcohol (or take drugs) during pregnancy. Fetal alcohol syndrome is real and does not just affect 1 generation. And it's the timing that matters, not so much the amount of alcohol. One sip in month 1-4 will be worse than a bigger amount after the 8th month. And whatever else you think about Cannabis, it is most certainly not safe during pregnancy, although the usual argument does apply: not nearly as bad as alcohol or drugs. But still very, very bad. Are you prepared to forcibly abort a baby because a mother had one sip of alcohol? Plus how would you ever know?

Why not just create a button component in whatever framework you are using with scoped styles. This just seems like unnecessary coupling to me.
Some of the most cheat infested games are nowhere near having an "esports" competitive scene. I'd think that in actual esports games, where it can ruin your career to get caught cheating even if it was years ago in casual games, there'd be less "everyday" cheating.

The jury is still out in terms of whether the Great Awokening is winding down. The possibility that the phenomenon might be mutating by emphasizing more social justice terminology with positive connotations and those at the receiving end of alleged victimization while toning down its more negative/corrosive/aggressive terminology deserves further consideration.
> ”Really we should start a community lollipop person schedule and sort it out.”

Ahh yes! My primary school in NZ had two nearby crossings over a “busy” road (but probably not that busy by today’s standards)

I remember doing lollipop duty on it a few times. As a kid. A very prestigious assignment and we got some special high-vis to wear and everything. I assume there must have been some volunteer parents involved as well, but I really don’t remember now. Would have been too caught up in the excitement, haha.

Contract review software has transformed how businesses perform contract lifecycle management evaluations. Previous contract review methods rely on manual reviewing processes that are costly, outmoded, time-consuming, and prone to human mistake. A technology-enhanced approach to contract reviews, on the other hand, standardizes the review process and reduces turnaround times.

> did the comment try to use startups to make MLMs look less bad, and in fact it did the exact opposite.

So you read OP's comment and thought "Wow, MLMs are even worse because startups have toxic culture."?

I did not. I read that comment and thought "now the most upvoted thread will talk about startups" instead of MLMs and how they should be regulated like for profit schools.

> Drawing parallels to a topic that's relatable to the reader is exactly what you'd expect in any half decent comment section.

> At the end of the day you're saying you intentionally interpreted the comment in bad faith as a springboard to push your own take.

Again, agreed, I do take the comment in bad faith, which is why I voiced my disagreement and downvoted. Because the parent comment did exactly what you state, drew parallels to something that "people understand" here by trying to make startups and MLMs morally equivalent with the phrase "You could easily change that to:".

That surface deep parallelism detracts away how destructive MLMs are - hence my comment from personal experience.

> I hesitate to even say this since I don't trust you won't try and build an enormous strawman argument out of it, trying to paint this as a "oh well readers here are to rich to care?!"

Not sure what you're trying to preempt here, but quite a weird comment, sort of a strawman of strawman.

It's interesting because we're starting from the same position. What you're accusing me of - I'm agreeing with you because that's what I'm trying to do, but the conclusions end up being different - thus, never eye-to-eye.
it's that everything is designed around cars.
as a 15 year old i traveled through multiple countries in europe on my bike, alone.

as a 17 year old in the US i was not able to go anywhere without getting a ride in a car. any interesting places to go to were to far away to even reach conveniently by bike. everything was designed around and dependent on cars.

as a very independent youth i considered this experience an interesting lesson on what it means to be dependent, but most certainly growing up there would have been different. i have seen other youth struggling with the sudden change when they turned 18 and were expected to act like independent adults instead of the dependent youth they were until then.
I may be out of the loop, but I have seen very little apps with new AI tech get any traction. Or, I've seen them, tried for a few minutes, and then went on with my day. Most of these are just flash in a pan; a cool tech demo or some initial hype from an over-promising landing page, but not many viable businesses. Just someone downloading a model, fine-tuning it on some dataset and trying to pawn it off.

And if some project "narrowly shipped before you", how much value or moat is there really if we're talking multiple projects and they're so quick&easy to do? Sorry to be a bit harsh, I just don't get feeling deflated by others making the same MVP as you do if it's just a natural idea on top of some existing tech. Your focus on code quality is also moot, it's delivering value that counts, not the tech stack beneath.
> Ive never met a poor or ‘minority’ person that didn’t have an ID unless they were homeless.

It's a good thing we don't have to depend on your limited experience to make policy decisions. There are millions of Americans without any ID. One survey in 2006 put the number at 21 million.

> the later argument of progressives is extremely demeaning to minorities to the point where it borders on explicit racism.

You should probably tell that to the minorities themselves, like the Congressional Black Caucus (https://www.ibtimes.com/alabama-voting-rights-congressional-...) for example, since they don't seem to have any issue with making that same argument or speaking out against voter suppression.

It can absolutely be a burden to get a state ID or drivers license and it can cost money that people don't have to spend. There's nothing "demeaning" about acknowledging that fact. The problems are real, and they don't even only impact minorities anyway.
If you go as far as to the next sentence:

"…this policy reflects the reality that our engineers, quality assurance and support staff must spend time on providing expedited fixes outside of our normal product schedules."

You still get your bug fix for free with the next release/update unless you need it expedited.
As a counterpoint, I know people first hand who admired what Elon did for freedom of expression on social media, and now they are more familiar with, and willing to buy, a Tesla. Perhaps it’s not obvious to those in the Californian tech bubble, but First Amendment rights matter a lot to the rest of America.

By becoming the richest man in the world, and now the most notable man in social media, Elon has brought huge brand awareness of Tesla.

And most people aren’t so politically tribal that they would choose an inferior BEV because “elon bad”
It doesn't become a mess, but it's interesting you chose to comment on Tailwind and not KonstaUI despite topic being KonstaUI. Do you have any opinion to share on KonstaUI or any other helpful insight, except giving yourself credit for what you use and being negative towards the rest?

I’m eating basically the same food, basically the same quantities, and I did start paying attention to the calories.

Calling out a megacorporation for not defending your rights is oxymoronic by the extreme. You didn't stop other products from killing people by asking Walmart nicely to make sure it's safe.

Isn't there a small thing called "regulators" for this? Or is US government now so fundamentally broken that it can't even provide its basic function anymore and has to be replaced by "pretty-please" appeals to megacorporations?
‘theoretical probability vs. experimental probability’ take a moment to reflect on that.

We are all drilled to some extend to accept probability theory, but there are some truly mind bending exercises in interpreting probability.

How do you define probability for a event that can only happen once, e.g. what is the probability of our cosmic microwave background pattern ?

How do you define conditional probability when conditioning on the assumption that an impossible event has occurred, e.g. what is the probability of the Color of my wall changing assuming Garfield the cartoon cat would enter the room?
If you look globally they built initiatives like "internet.org" or "free basics" where they pay telcos to make access to Facebook/Meta sites free. In those markets calling somebody on a phone is expensive, but WhatsApp is free. Looking up a business's website costs expensive data traffic, but checking the business's Facebook page is free. Big pockets finding to make Facebook the internet.
Yeah, we were warned about this in 1989, when I went to go work in the basement of the Pentagon.

So people are finally hearing about this again after ... how many years?
The way I look at it is that we're gonna have email for a long time, realistically at least another 50 years, probably 100. So if we're stuck with it, we might as well make it as painless as possible.

I totally agree that we should look for better protocols, for example Matrix looks like it could eventually be a good replacement for email. But whatever email is replaced with will definitely need some kind of way to interface with email during the transition, and a pre-built mail reverse proxy / IP gateway will only help with that.
I did try to find data but couldn't. Pure anecdata from friends in the industry and observations from vlogs/blogs, it's very similar, maybe a bit higher - reaching 10% perhaps but not much more.

The engineers that were axed were in business units that focused on unprofitable products, and couldn't or wouldn't relocate to other engineering teams in the company. Think Amazon's devices unit. Even then, the they were mostly kept around, and administrative roles were the first to go.

Seriously, I don't think the "man children" and the people complaining about them are all that different. You were clearly not engaged in traditionally approved adult activities either, if you were there for the very first matches of a competitive computer game.

Looks like an interesting project although I have to admit that I scrolled through the whole thing and still didn't really know what it was.

The press release on the bottom of the page summarizes it:

Creactivities is a chatbot. It sends its users fun, everyday creative challenges (like ‘invent a new organizer for kitchen utensils.’). Then, users take photos of their solutions (which range from observations and sketches to physical prototypes) back to the chatbot.
Then, it serves as a digital concierge who gathers real human feedback on your ideas from a creative community of like-minded people. It distributes the solution to the community and provides the consolidated feedback to the user.

Just as a heads-up, the link to your privacy policy in the chatboat doesn't work for me.

Back in 2008 I was working with a company in the UK that had an API to do this with O2. It only provided a rough area of where the user was, as it was based on which (single) cell tower the user was connected to.

> Using it wrong on every codebase that wasn't even made by me but instead by my employers? If it's happening that many times, the tool is to blame.

There is no number here, you are basing this on your own experience and without any statistical analysis. Also no one really knows whether you or people you work with are genuinely trained and able to use the tools and/or program in a scalable, maintainable way.

Therefore, what you wrote is just a biased opinion based on a tiny, negligible amount of user(s).

Not taking into account opinions of other devs here, who claim the tool really helped them, turns this into a multiplayer monologue. You're adamant the tool is to blame and you found what works for you. Why continue to comment on Tailwind and not on the tool that's posted for discussion? Can you articulate what kind of win you expect here?

As a former poet (haven't written in 15 years) I strongly disagree.

Figurative art might be about what you feel when you look at an art piece (still debatable), but art per se is not.

Every single poem or song I wrote had a very precise meaning and a message in it and my choice of words, rhyme, and rhythm was deliberate and meant to be aiding me in conveying that message.

No, I follow athletes related to cycling, swimming, skiing etc. What content does Instagram promote me? Female models dressed in cycling clothes with their zippers down. Maybe because their algorithm says that it's the "most trending cycle-tagged content at the moment". But it's not related to the professional cyclists I'm following at all. Same goes for almost all content/tags: there will be some half-nude version of it that gets promoted.
It certainly sounds like a blatant case of trademark infringement. The scammers are trading under the name of the legitimate restaurant in order to defraud their customers. Sounds like the most blatant case of trademark infringement I've heard of in a long time.

The billing descriptor issue doesn’t seem like a KYC violation or Amex failure to me.

Instead of using a static descriptor “Parasitic Middleman, LLC”, they send a dynamic descriptor for each transaction to tell the user “KIINTHAILA: OK, that was my Thai order; yeah, that was me”. It’s no different than when you see an order number on your statement or other dynamic text.

I don’t approve of the business practice (and take care to avoid it with my local takeout places), but I don’t think it’s an Amex failure here.
I have been playing around with generating embeddings for some documents, storing those in a Postgres column (pg_vector), generating emeddings for a search term, finding the closest match using pg_vector and sending the results off to GPT3 to be summarized and it seems to work incredibly well. It seems to stay on topic, I’ve been trying to “jailbreak” it and get it to say crazy things for a while. I suppose this is more of one off question answering thing than a chatbot, though (previous questions and results are not fed back in). I have only tried with super simple “documents” so far, I am going to try some more complex ones when I get a chance to get a pipeline setup.
On the tailwind argument I don't really feel like ever going back in spending a good 2 minutes coming up with a non conflicting yet descriptive class name only to end not using it at all cause I decided to implement the requirement in a different way. Not to mention the relief from the constant css/html context switch you undergo indefinitely.

I can't really comment on how it scales in big projects tho.
