Ironically, all those videos that start playing and are hard to escape from as you read this very post are quite distracting, too.

In view of this, it's hard to read this article as "why is Windows showing their stories and not mine?".
Certainly!

The thing is to make ElasticSearch scores "comparable" to Milvus scores. Lots of ways to do this, but there's no single good solution. For example you could calculate BM25 score offline, or use TF-IDF score to do some kind of filtering. Again there's no single perfect answer. You'd have to do a lot of experiment according to your own use case and your own data to get the best results.

Also a lot of tuning needs to be done during all phases:
1) query pre-processing
2) query tokenizing
3) retrieval
4) ranking and reranking

I personally would not trust any universal "hybird-search" solutions. All toy demos.

It usually takes 5-10 good engineers to build a decent search engine/system for any real use case. It also requires a lot of turning, tricks, hand-written rules to make things work.
Recently switch to Windows, and my feeling is the "Pro" moniker in the OS title has as much weight as in "iPhone Pro".

Under the hood there's price discrimination on the Hypervisor and other services that regular users wouldn't use, but there seems fundamentally to be no difference in the interface between the two versions of the OS.

I'd assume enterprise customers (the real "pros") will have their IT department deal with removing all the crap and adjusting the group policy so the experience is somewhat productive. So Microsoft doesn't have to care at all about "productivity", and is free to bombard users with all the crapware of the worlds as long as there's some remote way to disable it.
So I think culo means, well "posterior" and adding -ito is an endearing term that means small in an affectionate way. so "precious posterior". nvidia is like envidia which is envy in spanish.

that is one potential worry, but they are losing the cloud game, they are absolutely bad at products, UX, support, etc.

at this point I think Android and Chrome are their most high-quality things.

Calendar is okay too, but it does what it did 10 years ago, oh, sure, it has Meet integration too (which sucks, and 720p)

Maps' mass transit things are getting better, but it's not going to save Alphabet
"Middle class" doesn't actually mean anything.
Seems like you didn't understand what the post was about. You can have arbitrary framebuffer sizes without ever touching the display mode, and with plane scaling in display controllers there's no performance impact whatsoever.
I'm also on team Notes.app, but i honestly never got very good at consistent organized note taking.

My workflow is mostly:

If it's important i use my "first brain". I tend to be great at remembering stuff, which is probably also why i never really got into note taking. And yes, i still remember most phone numbers from my childhood, despite 99% of them having been out of use for a couple of decades by now :D

If i'm at my desk there is always pen & paper next to my keyboard, and anything "short term" gets noted there. That would mostly be meeting notes, questions (for meetings), and high level architecture sketches that will then go into a drawing tool at some point.

Anything else lives in Notes.app, but not as complex notes, but rather just a short sentence or link to an article on the web.

I also use the Apple Reading List for interesting articles i intend to read, but much like Pocket it is more a place where links go to die. I very rarely ever read anything i put there, so maybe i should just stop doing that :)

I have tried pretty much every "modern" note taking tool out there, including RocketBook (yes, physical), but none of them ever really "clicked" with me. Notes.app gets the job done, works well across different platforms, and integrates well into every platform i use.
It's quite huge for an LLM AI not taught specifically to add numbers.

This is not a specialized adding algorithm - it's a general purpose one.

And probably better than most humans :-)
I like this idea. I would just log the query count at the end of each request without any pre-defined limits. IFF you see performance drop, then you can always investigate and see if anything is triggering greater than expected calls.

Nifty idea, and probably not too hard to implement.

Recreating the ZX Spectrum Unboxing Experience by Manufacturing a New Boxed One
I'm not convinced - at least on current hardware this seems well positioned for the cloud.

My tiny Alexa puck isn't going to run a 180bn parameter LLM that runs best on 10 graphics cards any time soon, however it can already call a simple API and get a response in only 50ms more. I suspect people will prefer the cloud overhead of 50ms for a better response for a bigger model for a lot of queries.

But who knows at this stage! I guess it could go either way depending on how both hardware and these models advance.

I just assume that in the close future, most people are going to be interacting with LLM's on low-cost devices with limited/varied compute.
You can't really put a price on good ergonomics IMO. Expensive is going to be different for every individual probably so that's not too relevant here. I have never bought a standing desk myself and use some hospital-type movable/extendable tray (found at a thrift store) for a keyboard/mouse and place monitors elsewhere. Wish I had a designated desk but it doesn't fit my workspace well.

Just do/find what works and go from there.
A suitable cost function to optimize. It could be moving faster, reducing energy consumption. Or maximizing the harvest of the use case type called "money" from the environment called "humans". Whatever that means.
Author should have led with how to get rid of them. This article is padded with example headlines, has little analysis and no tutorial.
neither of those things seem to cause mortality though, particularly not this increase in it, so not really pertinent to the discussion here

Subsequently, this applies to posters, letters, newspapers, and other types of text-heavy images, ultimately reducing the language modeling problem to an image generation problem.

My "era" would be Win3.1, largely because i had a dinky 386 until the late 90s and yet i still find Win95 to be the superior UI. Aside from nostalgia i can't think of a good thing for the Win3.1 UX despite using it for years.
Funny to see this now, when AI is done by using Python to orchestrate numeric kernels written in C++ or Fortran. GOFAI lost, big time, and the key to success in AI is the ability to perform matrix multiplications as fast as machinely possible -- which means the central data structure you should be using is the array or vector, to ensure data locality so you don't blow up your cache.

Lisp is, almost, the opposite of a language you would choose to do AI in today.

It may be a more powerful language for other applications, but that will hardly matter because the productivity gains from using AI will dwarf those from programming language choice.
PalmOS isn't in there?
In order to develop "understanding", at least one input channel must be available to provide something to understand. In order to ascertain that development, we require at least one output channel. Anything less and we are describing a pet rock. Language can be thought of as the rules of the communication.

The root question seems to be whether a machine can learn to communicate meaning and understanding over a bidirectional binary channel without previous training. I suspect that such communication can evolve. Some might look around and remark that it already has.
.NET is trying to move fast and break things, however most devs are using it like they had in the past 15 years (with some new best practices for c# and frameworks); it's lovely working on that. Updating libraries is painless, even for projects > 5 years old. Try that with npm... After 5 weeks.
It is luckily over.
In couple of years Windows 10 will get eol'd and stop receiving security updates. It'll be interesting time certainly to see what the people who are contently now using Windows 10 without MS accont or Cortana or other online craziness, will do. I'm in that boat, but I have always been dualbooting Linux so to me changing it to be primary desktop won't be that big of a pain. But I do expect to see additional influx of new Linux users from the eventual eol. Of course some users probably will continue to use Windows 10 well beyond the eol date (there probably are still even some Windows 7 users around); heck, it might take good while until major vulns are found in Windows 10 after eol as the general security level certainly has improved.
Makes sense that this works. It has probably thousands of examples of it working in the training data. The system is trained on human use of language, therefore it is reasonable to assume that it if fallible to all sales techniques that are being taught to humans.
Buzz Chat taking over social networking

Thankfully Spotify came out and it reduced music piracy far more than all the RIAA lawsuits combined by simply offering better service than both RIAA (who wanted to sell albums only) and pirate sites (that didn't offer discovery features and there was no quality control).

As GabeN said - piracy is a service problem.
Israel, like the States, have a Judicial branch that is a "separate estate" from their executive branch.

In Israel, the judges "rule" for life, get to appoint their successors with no outside oversight, and are openly highly political. They have openly biased rulings, such as (in the current fight) "pro-reform ministers may not speak publicly (as they have a vested interest), but anti-reform ministers and judges may (as they are defending the status quo)", and they constantly overreach, such as disqualifying the Parliament ("Knesset") speaker and causing elections (a few years ago).

The current fight was triggered by the AG (Attorney General) ruling that 1) The courts are investigating the Prime Minister for bribery and 2) A Prime Minister that is under investigation may not serve.

To counter that, the Parliament passed a ruling that the court may not disqualify the Prime Minister without the approval of at least half the Parliament.

Many are upset that someone who was not voted in should have the ability to, on a whim and without any proof, decide that he can disqualify the PM - who was elected by common vote.

They further want the Judges to have some sort of accountability, and believe that no "Democratic" system can have most of the power in the hands of judges that are not voted in. They are pushing for changes to how judges are appointed and what their jurisdiction includes.

The courts have no checks on their power and are leftist, so the media and Colleges (which both have a "well known liberal bias") and some other large institutions, are not very happy with the concept of that bastion being sullied.

And, of course, they claim that are "saving democracy", though that is the last thing in the world they are doing.

Protests for and against the Judicial reform have been ongoing for weeks, with the Media reliably reporting the "against" protests and minimizing or ignoring the "for".

===

In the U.S., SCOTUS has far less power than the Israeli courts, and yet the media is calling to restrict their powers in order to "save democracy", since the courts are to the right of the media, instead of to their left. Interesting.
json-schema has nothing to do with JSON-LD. If you want shape constraints on your JSON-LD data, you'll need SHACL: https://www.w3.org/TR/shacl/

JSON itself has a much simpler specification than XML, and feels much more lightweight for a lot of devs.

Under the hood though, linked data is all RDF.
>Godwin's law doesn't apply; Godwin himself said that comparing people to Nazis was appropriate when those people are actually behaving like Nazis.

Of course that's also what everybody making a bad comparison would say. "I'm my case it's justified".

In fact, if Hitler was re-incarnated in the 21st century, something he would have added "my opponent is literary Hitler" to his playbook - dehumanizing the other side.

But of course those who do that only do it becaue they're "justified" in doing it.
has been the case for me for more than 5 years.
At a previous employer, we used to randomize people’s network logon ID. I don’t recall all the rules, but the big one was removing all the vowels from the set of possible characters. It was robust enough that it worked internationally: US, Malaysia, France, and Czech Republic.

> Every field is based on trust, so I don't see why you emphasize that.

Most workers around the world have no "trust" from their manager on the number of hours they spend in a week.

> Once again, if as a manager, you are happy with your employee's output and feel that their compensation is fair; why would the knowledge that they could have done more change that? It was fair before. Why should the worker do more to earn their salary?

Because there is a tacit understanding between the two parties (if most cases, apparently you disagree) that the engineer is working the "standard" number of hours in a week (35+, more or less). If you tell your manager "I work one hour a day, and this bug took me three days to fix" and your manager doesn't mind, then it's all good.

But if you tell your manager "this bug took me three days to fix" I can guarantee he'll think it was a challenging problem that took 15+ hours of your time, and he would be pissed to know that everyone else was forced to wait for what was actually a quick fix.
Maybe orders should be checked into git and then use the git hash instead...
Maybe at some stage software will also have limits to, I know that is hard to imagine but maybe why software has stagnated a little is because we’re running out of actual things it can do for us from a societal and economic standpoint?

> If it’s doomsday, it doesn’t matter whether I act as if it’s doomsday or if I look for opportunities

If everyone acted like this all the time, there'd be no point in unionizing or voting. If you suspect it might be doomsday, you should join other people who feel the same and do something about it.

It's probably too late to stop it from filling the internet with misinformation and spam, but it's not too late to stop it from taking the jobs of the people who produced the training sets (i.e. writers, open-source coders, etc.)

Since the training data is sourced from the web and from users, I've been wondering how difficult it would be to collectively poison these systems with junk data. I'm guessing it wouldn't take that many people to do it.

Funnily enough, although this calls it BPF, the technology in the article refers to eBPF (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EBPF): https://docs.kernel.org/bpf/index.html -- which, although rooted in the OG BPF, is only distantly related.
Story time :
A couple of years ago, i got a message from Mozilla about a survey/competition for Indian users to find websites which had the most number of trackers. The top winners would get a coupon worth a couple of bucks.

I immediately embarked on my search with safeties off - Noscript, Ublock, disabled

I surfed through various Indian websites - times of india, yellow journalism websites, local language tabloids, desi xxx sites - I expanded my search globally- dailymail, cnet, piratebay - my cpu fans whining in protest as i trawled through the darkest, most malware-infested, crypto-miner-laden, chumbox-ridden corners of the web. The average number of trackers was now in the triple digits but still i felt i could do better. That i had seen worse. Suddenly,it clicked. I could almost feel time stop and spacetime warp around me as my dsl connection struggled to load up tomshardware.com. Ding Ding, My quest had ended by a healthy margin.

So thanks for the coffee, tomshardware.com
I always thought it was quite funny how there was this dichotomy between Windows and macOS, with often the former being seen as more reliable or better for "getting work done". Then it seems that people remained in their camps to some degree, and over the last 5 to 10 years Windows has absolutely tanked in quality and appropriateness and a lot of those who use it barely seem to have noticed. Can you even imagine Apple putting Daily Mail articles in your dock for example? There would be vast backlash, but somehow this absolutely egregious, OS-destroying stuff that Windows is doing recently has been largely brushed off.

Sorry to sound like the trope of an annoying mac fanboy, but Windows is grosser than ever, and I want nothing to do with it.
Honestly threat from AI is not novel in the sense that anyone is under threat from being replaced by cheaper labor or eliminated altogether. AI is simply the newest one. Before this, it was jobs moving to India, RAD tools for non-devs etc. At the end of the day, whoever is unable to stay relevant is going to get steamrolled by the machine (no pun intended) of progress
Sadly there's still a few very heavy hitters that make Linux a no-go for some.

Genshin Impact and Fortnite are unusable.

Unreal Editor requires Windows too.

And I don't know how usable VR is on Windows.

Plus the random assortment of windows programs for which there could be a Linux equivalent but you really need that one that only works on Windows for some reason.

But at this point it's just a matter of time, I guess.
That just.. doesn’t work that way.

Edit: besides, if it could work you lose the competitive edge. I could describe a much faster more cost effective system which the machine can implement. And we are off to the races again..

> I do wonder what would cause other wise healthy adults to have higher disease rates than other countries.

Possibly a measurement difference. More frequent testing leads to both earlier detection and thus higher reported occurrence. Another factor might be that it gives more false positives and thus higher stress levels and from that, higher incidence of various disorders.

But also, the article doesn’t exactly say “other wise healthy adults“, it says “Americans with healthy behaviors, for example, those who are not obese or do not smoke”. Those people might have a disease from bad habits they had earlier in live. They also may not have truly bad habits, but yet lead a more sedentary live than similar groups in other countries, etc.
With e.g Azure's CLI az you can specify a flag something like "--use-device-code" which shows a copy-pastable URL that you then can just visit in the browser (on a different device even).
No, it won't work. It'll say "actual" is undeclared.

https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/4437 is tracking the issue. I think std.testing is going to see some major changes, so it's possible this gets fixed. But going from the responses in that issue, I think that fix might be more of a side effect, since there doesn't seem to be too much sympathy for the issue as-is.
I don't know where you are from but in my country I never voted for the President of Republic. I can't: the President is elected by the Parliament, which I vote for. I also never voted for the Prime Minister. I can't: it's appointed by the President. Despite currently being the leader of the largest party, her closest predecessors have not been the leaders of the largest party since 10 years ago. Actually the President can appoint anybody, there are not even rules about citizenship, place of residence or being elected. The previous three Prime Ministers were not elected by anyone. By the way, a government is still government even if it does not have a majority support in Parliament. It will have a hard life doing anything but technically that's not a problem.

In the EU we have the Parliament, which is elected by the people, the Council which is composed by Prime Ministers, Presidents, whoever rules each country and the Commission, which is proposed by the Council and elected by the Parliament. Not so different from what I see in my country.
That's precisely the question I keep asking: how much more anti-consumer features people need, in order to switch? At this point it's hard to understand why there is so much resistance in leaving windows, I can't imagine having to deal with this kind of things on a daily-basis while trying to actually get stuff done.

AFAIK writing is thought to have been invented from nothing in at least three places: the Americas, the Middle East, and China.
The FDIC is unlikely to fail. After all, as long as there is no major credit crunch (de-leveraging), money simply moves from one bank to another, and insurance premiums are collected regardless of where the money is located, money (and MTM short-falls) can be absorbed to big banks. Big banks, Fed and FDIC can work together to sort things out like this time.

Additionally, the dollar is merely a piece of paper, and the FDIC essentially guarantees pieces paper with $250,000 or whatever face value printed. There may be intricate mechanisms at play, such as the FDIC issuing bonds which the Federal Reserve subsequently purchases, or the Fed buying Treasury securities and providing the proceeds to the FDIC in the form of loans or capital injections. Or Fed directly offers credit line with failing banks. It is difficult to envision any issues the FDIC could encounter that could not be effectively addressed by the Federal Reserve essentially printing more money.

The value of US dollar is all about confidence, in the event of failing of FDIC, it is a testing moment of the confidence of USD. Although forced to print a lot more money could be bad for confidence, but not that catastrophic as FDIC failing.
