> They could have chosen to make their EV fleet here, as well.

The did choose to build their EV fleet here. They were in talks to build an EV plant in GA before the inflation reduction act existed. Ground was broken in October and the plant is scheduled to be online in 2025. I don't disagree with the decision to require US manufacturing either but given the early state of the EV market I think easing that requirement in over a few years to give auto makers a chance to open new US manufacturing capacity would have been a better path.

These things are advancing way faster than they're being taken advantage of fully. Even SD 1.4 with months-old technology can produce far higher quality images than most of what's seen from midjourney or the latest tools. Things like ControlNet are amazing, to be sure, but there's nothing "dinosauric" about the technology without it. We haven't begun to see the limits of what's possible yet with existing tools, though you're right about the rapid pace of innovation.
And it's easy to believe that the betrayal was their intention all along as soon as they saw technological breakthroughs that could be monetized. It's hard to see why Sam Altman would be interested in non profits given his background in startups.
I attended a Salesforce conference 10 or 15 years ago or so, and Metallica was performing at the actual conference. Marc Benioff mentioned in the keynote that he lived down the street from Kirk Hammett and that's how he got Metallica to perform at the conference - I think the guy just has so much money he can spend it on rubbing elbows with celebrities he thinks are cool.
I'm surprised that they're still using Puppet with Hiera.
That's what makes me think the rumor is bullshit. If we want to know how USB-C will work on the iPhone, we need not look any farther than how it works on iPads today.
Who’s talking about making BEV the only option in perpetuity?

Claiming we need ICE so BEVs have a tech to compete with, is like arguing in 2000 that we need the horse and cart so ICE has something to compete with.
There aren't that many combinations. For speed, there is standard USB2, USB3, USB4/Thunderbolt. For USB3 speeds, using the existing logos would work. For power, there is standard 3A, and 5A.

Each of those except the default would have a color. Most cables wouldn't have any color, most of rest would have one color, and at most two colors. Many of the combinations aren't used, like 5A is almost always used with USB2 charging cable.
I'll stick with my mega doses of algal oil derived omega-3s they are not so fishy in taste or burps.

Of all the tissues in the body, retina contains the highest concentration of the omega-3 fatty acid (FA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Up to 60% of the total FA in rod outer segment membrane phospholipids is DHA [1]. If you suffer from night blindness something that happens as we age, DHA improves the ability to see in low light conditions. [2]

The brain has the second highest lipid content behind adipose tissue, and brain lipids constitute 50% of the brain dry weight [3]. DHA makes up over 90% of the n-3 PUFAs in the brain and 10%–20% of its total lipids. DHA is especially concentrated in the gray matter [4]

After a 6month study researchers found DHA levels had increased by 200% with the spinal fluid content only increasing by 28% [5]. This study also didnt look at the effect of tyrosine in the substantia nigra which besides increasing the pheomelanin and eumelanin, that area of the brain also acts an antioxidant or filter for metals in the brain. [6]

What is ignored with omega 3 is the role it plays with neutrophils, if you have a lot of pathogens, your neutrophil numbers will go up which will reduce the amount of omega-3's which can go to the brain, because Omega-3 supplementation increases the EPA+DHA content of neutrophil membranes [7] which improves their function at sensing pathogens and interactive with other parts of the immune system. [8,9,10,11] especially when considering todays levels of air pollution from things like fossil fuels.

I'd also increase choline content for the brain [12] and alveoli gas exchange which improves physical performance and recovery rates. Some consider Choline should be consider essential nutrition, [13] but chemo brain fog, covid brain fog and baby brain pregnancy fog are all considered to be a deficiency in choline, and whilst the connections between neurons disappear, a stump is left on the neuron so when enough choline enters the diet, the connections can reform and you can get your memories back.

And if you are using for example Numpy, you aren’t using Python for anything performance sensitive of course, because Numpy is almost certainly calling the system’s tuned BLAS implementation. Which should handle the parallelism I guess. If anything I’d expect parallel Python calls to Numpy to result in oversubscription…

A chatbot is not a human
And it sounds like men in São Paulo need to start doing what women have been doing since the beginning of dating: always letting somebody know where they are, always meeting first in a public place, never taking a drink from anybody except a bartender.

For men elsewhere, it's really good for them to know that women do this, and that this is why. You may know that you're not the man who does that, but they don't, and the consequences can be worse than losing your wallet. Practically every woman knows a woman who has been assaulted this way. Understanding that will help you plan your dates accordingly so that she can feel a lot more comfortable, and you'll both have a much better time.
Hi Rob, in the spirit of giving more constructive feedback, the youtube video linked in your post could definitely use some iterating.

That a machine can do something better than a human, is no reason to pretend that human to human competition is no longer worthwhile. A pleasant game of chess against a friend is as much a psychological battle as it is a tactical one.

I never played against computers, they could always beat me every single time. What would be the point? I play against humans, for the same reason I have conversations with humans and not with computers - even as they become capable of even that.

I do think that building an AI that does play like a human would be interesting, it's certainly never really been done. But it's interesting because it's an interesting problem to solve, not because playing against such a machine would be any fun.
Many years ago, when getting my feet wet with WebComponents, I often went without ShadowDOM. This post circles nicely back to my feelings. The page is a kind of beautiful thing, a shared sandbox experience for a bunch of pieces of content, and rules to apply to them. There's a lot of industrialized corporate-istic computing concerns that value security & safety & isolation, that thought these would be a major shift forward, but we have these tools now and they often don't help much and they do greatly hinder.

We lead with principles, and the principle was fear, and the result wasn't good.

There's a beauty in having a page, where all the stuff lives & is visible together. The web's strenghts keep being interpretted as weaknesses, as things that know-better programmers want to reform & remake, to give them the comfort of programming as they know it, that gives them the top-down predictable well-ordered machine feel that writing a main() function has. The possibility, of so much, scares the programming tradition.

I really hope something good comes from this. Alas it's still kind of a PITA that WebComponents don't have a transport layer that makes sense. We'd hoped to de-bundle and be able to use HTTP Push to speed module delivery. We'd hoped we'd have module registries, a "post 1.0" effort for es2015 modules, but that never happened- we got other things instead, import-maps, import.meta, others... but figuring out how to effectively deliver a modular new thing that multiple sites can use on the web is still also another layer of unsuccess, another dimensions of modularity that never really emerged.

Great post by Lea, good initiative, and hpoeful we can start re-weaving & connecting together the web, after Shadow DOM broke us into smaller pieces.

---

semi-related, there's some interesting discussion on how some spec-authors intended/expected WebComponents to be adopted versus how they have. i'm still not sure how this addresses a lot of the concerns here, but it's an interesting discussion. and i like a lot of how it suggests that the Shadow DOM is for decoration, but that it ought have a visible apparent part to itself too, not be so isolating. this comment & @domenics follow up are both semi-interesting... but i think are also very due for a longer treatment/write-up. https://github.com/WICG/webcomponents/issues/986#issuecommen...

This is kind if like saying "I typed a question I know the answer to into a search engine and it showed me webpages in the results where the answer was something I hadn't considered before"

Obviously it's in the training model because someone else aside from you did think of it before.

Well nobody forces you to use it. You can mix it with other languages, even more so in Godot 4 where languages can be GDExtensions.
You can write one script in GDScript and another in C# if you want.

I personally like to use it. It's not perfect but it's a language that's tailored for the task it's doing, namely driving the high level logic of a game engine.

And most importantly it's beginner friendly, so it's pretty nice for people who want to get into programming.
I am complaining about it to their team.
Apple should encourage the USB-IF certification. I would be fine if they advertised it as "Apple certified".
Any ballpark pricing info you can share on Promptly!
I figured, every time I try Godot there is some annoying problem that will be fixed in the next release.
> But isn't using MIT contributing to the project popularity?

Yes, definitely.
They moved 1.3m total in 2022, but in Q4 they were at a rate of 1.9m. 40% y/y growth is a lot, they'll be in the top 10 makers in 2024.
>The idea that massive compute would lead to massive improvement was non-obvious.

Honestly no, it was obvious, but only if you listened to those pie in the sky singularity people. It was quite common for them to say, add lots of nodes and transistors and a bunch of layers and stir in some math and intelligence will pop out.

The groups talking about minimal data and processing have not had any breakthroughs in, like forever.
This is both good advice, and completely useless advice.

As someone who has spent many years as an "aimless excited programmer", I would like to point out emphatically, that this idea did, in fact, occur to me.

So I thought about it. I asked myself that question.

But then what? I didn't have unsolved problems lingering in other hobbies. If I did, I would not have been aimless! This is specifically the task a person in this position is asking for help on.

Then there were the rare times that I did have unsolved problems, but they were always way too big to practice on.

Programming has two fundamental natures: abstraction and implementation. You can become an expert in the abstract, like a mathematician, but that doesn't make you an engineer.

Just like mathematicians manage to keep learning math without engineering, we can keep learning programming without ever programming. It's a very unsatisfying position to be in.

It not a question of technically perfect or otherwise. It’s just a pure question of cost.

When one approach is half as efficient as the other, it hard to see how you build a cost competitive product using the less efficient approach. Especially when the more efficient approach is already approaching price parity, with a much cheaper technology (diesel from the ground is much cheaper than diesel from the air).
What do you mean about Rust? I don't see any special Rust support other than GDExtensions which can be utilized by almost any language.
I'd say it's entirely semantic. I'm very much arguing for where to draw the definition lines in the terms we use. It won't change the code one bit (give or take a few different names on things). I definitely think understanding carefully the issues involved in delivery, and understanding the various solutions to that problem, is the way to go, not to blur the questions of delivery and handling into one atomic element. They're not atomic.

Alternatively we could come up with names for all the other combinations of delivery mechanism and handling mechanism, but since you can easily see we hit an NxM-type problem on that, this may well help elucidate why I think it's a bad idea to try to combine the two into one term. It visibly impairs people's ability to think about this topic clearly.

I'm primarily but not exclusively interested in open source work. I'm easy to work with and prefer lump sum contracts.
I believe we are very different, and I'm by no means even remotely spiritually inclined.

We don't have a perfect understanding of our own consciousness, but a pretty good intuition about it. This intuition, although rather difficult to explain, is extremely effective in detecting this so called sentience. We instinctively know all healthy humans are sentient - even if some comments here seem to imply otherwise - and we instinctively know chatbots are not, even if sometimes we get carried away by apocalyptic drama.
instructions unclear - how do I get the wyze cam out of the bee hive?
I wonder what other cryptographic ceremonies are out there. I really enjoyed the operational separation in the overview here and seeing the technical details reminded me a lot of how many hardware security keys I have in my life now.

Tabular Data Platform
There is nothing in this article which suggests this (that it applies only to the accessories) is the case.

Remember, a USB-C cable not just a bunch of wires hooking two connectors together. It's two SOCs which negotiate the cable's capabilities with the devices on either end before allowing the flow of power or data across the cable itself. In fact, there is no spec on what the cable itself consists of - it could be a fiber optic cable for all the USB-C spec cares.

It's why you can use an expensive DP USB-C cable and not get thunderbolt support - because the chipsets in the cable itself have to support the thunderbolt spec.

It's why it's entirely plausible that Apple can specify that you can only use MiFi compatible cables if you want full charging or data transfer capabilities.
Nix is a package manager. But it can weave together multiple package managers so it frees you from being locked in to any one particular language, OS, architecture. The proof of this that we also ended up making a full OS (NixOS). Then there are follow-on things one can do, such as using it to manage the configuration of things and people continue to build more tools for this.

Fundamentally the core technology is for it to be a correct and safe package manager. (eg: think about the engineering tradeoffs for memory-safety vs anything-goes) Once you have that basic primitive, lots of things can be "packages": software, data, configuration, dotfiles,......
I still think that Midjourney is hamstringing themselves by being Discord-only. And their keyword nannying is pretty bad. It a testament too their overall quality that they're still as popular as they are are, but I really don't think they are doing themselves any favors, especially as the Stable Diffusion ecosystem continues to grow.
Good observation. I thought at first that it should be multidimensional, but categories are hard. Very hard.

I think general trust could work. People I trust won't give strong opinions about thing they have no idea about. You choose these people and you assign weights. It's not a random family circle.

I have some vague ideas about wallet of personalities which would serve the same purpose as categories of trust.

Technologies: Experienced product manager, currently at a large US-based corporate firm working as a senior PM for two companies it owns. I'd like to step back away from the corporate feeling. Focused primarily on IDEs and code tooling, with a focus on C++, but I enjoy all kinds of customer-facing products and they don't need to be high-tech: I like understanding customers, solving problems, and making great UIs that are genuinely usable (ones that are not just current, but also genuinely help people get their work done.) I'm no longer a professional programmer, but I have a long history as a developer before I became a PM and understand development well.

I prefer impactful technology. Currently the tools I manage are relied on by many worldwide, and I've worked before on tools used by scientists that helped drive eco-based political policy or climate change research among more. I would value any product and company that has a positive influence on the world. If you have a positive impact and culture, I will value your goals and can work very well to help you.

At work I have a strong drive to improve processes, teach and mentor, and ultimately of course deliver good products.

Good. Assuming they want to create a portless iPhone soon (which I think they should), nerfing usbc is a good move. Full usbc charges and transfers data faster than wireless… so if they allow that, portless is going to be a huge downgrade. Nerfing it at least keeps their options open.
As entertaining as they are, unfortunately these conspiracy theories are usually a bit racist since they deny agency to the actual cultures that have made this monumental architecture. Which is to say, the implicit comment in many of these ridiculous theories (including ancient aliens or whatever) is: "there's no way Polynesian culture could accomplish this".

Of course, there is plenty of archeological evidence of precisely how the moai were built, and why they were later toppled.
