It really seems like their smoke processing is just removing/re-adding cubes into the volumetric model, then using the shape of the cubes to draw "a cloud". It looks more like a marshmallow than a cloud of smoke, to me.

It doesn't seem like they model air movement, at all, and I don't see how to get realistic smoke without some concept of wind.
They should incorporate a minimum size for every file when calculating how much quota you have.

Because they have no retrieval fees for gsuite, I bet it is expensive dealing with drives with tons of small files.

Agree they are rolling this out terribly. They should have granted everyone 2x the number of files they currently have in their drive quota (or 4M, whichever was smaller).

I would interpret the Apache Licenses terms on breaking the license to apply to patents and there it is pretty clear that the party who starts litigation loses their own license. I don't think any open source license writer would intentionally want the situation where a middle-man causes a license to never be valid, and in this case it makes no sense as attribution is meant to be optional information.
I too find this frustrating, but I’m curious about the claim that Chrome is the most common browser on Mac. I sometimes see this claim, but I struggle to find any data to back it up.

The US government web analytics (https://analytics.usa.gov/data/), which seems like a reasonable source for general usage in the US, show Safari substantially ahead of Chrome on Mac.

Have you seen any sources that show Chrome ahead of Safari on Mac for a general audience?
"Safe and effective" is an ambiguous term that omits the risk-benefit ratio for each individual. It also does not discuss the risk-benefit ratio given the variant. Indeed, the obese, those over 50, and those with prior health conditions were at highest risk. But what about the young healthy athlete with no existing medical conditions? And what use is vaccination when one already has natural immunity, which is at least as good, if not superior, to protection from vaccination (from a peer-reviewed publication in the Lancet)?
Don't. Use pydoit.org.
Wow, this is so unfair to them. I followed the project with intense interest from day 1, and "Feels like they more or less took the money and called it quits" is total BS.

To be clear, I think the original ZPM gang got in waaaay over their heads - one of the biggest problems is that the kickstarter was just far too successful: the ZPM team had to go from building a prototype to actually worrying about how they were going to manufacture these at a sizable scale. I think it's totally fair to say they handled things quite poorly as it became clear they were struggling, and if I were a backer left with very little to show for it I'd probably be mad, too, but to say "they more or less took the money and called it quits" is not, at all, what happened.
I think that depends on your definition of "thirsty." The older ladies tend to be more interested in long-term dating, while the younger ladies are often (rather enthusiastically) open to short-term dating with older guys.

Nah, (almost) everyone that don't have a clue what they're doing does this for every app, be it required or not; it's however called "Babel" or "Webpack" because "compiler" is "scary".
For some extra perspective in the case of a dentist, there's also a live, breathing, feeling, conscious human they're about to drill into or debug on.

No, Google has not implemented support for Keychain in Chrome. AFAIK neither has Firefox.
You certainly can. DeFi typically refers to smart contract protocols for lending, borrowing, swapping, pooling, etc. DAOs also fit under the label. These are usually on the Ethereum chain because its smart contracts are considerably more powerful than Bitcoin's.

Wow, I call to the team behind this. I really STRONGLY think you should at least implement some sort of URL stealthing. I'm not a Web Security expert, but it reminds me of a talk where some company just made medical records 'public' like this.
I believe Apple only lets you use certain APIs (like Keychain) if you distribute only through the App Store.

That policy has really killed a lot of functionality on macOS. I suspect it will cause fiction on iOS when the EU forces them to allow alternative install sources.

Personally, it grates me when Apple cripples functionality this way to try to keep us stuck in their platform. Can't use Firefox with Keychain. You can only view your current Apple Card balance on an iOS device -- not even a macOS device. At the end of the day, I hate being manipulated so much that it actually pushes me away from the platform to see this scummy behavior.
What sacrifices can you do in your own life? That is certainly the easiest and most certain way you can contribute. The impact will be limited no doubt, but the most obvious place to start.
I think this is solved more generally with a discriminated union in typescript.

The discussions they had.. in electronic form.. about Hamas buying AK47s and how its not money laundering if the dollar figure is small enough were.. illuminating.

This is basic stuff covered in AML training for any bank intern at a 3rd string bank 20 years ago. Just incredible.
> This separates construction, which is a typed thing, from allocation.

But this is what C++ actually does! C++ ctors run after memory has been allocated (on the stack, on the heap, from a pool, etc.) Or maybe you mean something different?
I remember working for a sketchy start-up right out of college. They were doing telecom stuff when the carriers were de-regulated in the early aughts. Even now, they were tied up with some fintech companies and some shady investors. I was a combo developer/csr/account management person at any given time depending on what was going on.

They would rarely put stuff in writing. I was always told to do stuff. Never in email, never in memo's or any other written form. It was always, "We're going need you to scrub some files from xyz database." or "I need to rewrite this contract and add these additional sections which weren't on the original document." If I needed details, they would put them on a sticky note. I remember they had someone come around and take these notes off of people's desk when the task was completed.

I remember at Christmas one of my uncle's was a stock broker and a big knocker at some financial company. He was asking what I did and where I worked. He started asking more questions and told me I needed to be very careful - what the startup was doing was either really illegal or they were operating in a very gray area. Neither of them will end well for anybody and if the SEC thinks I'm involved in any way of covering up what they were doing? Then I'm in deep shit.

I quit about three weeks later. A year or so after that, the economy collapsed. I found out they were automating robo-signatures for real estate and mortgage companies. They were changing clients contracts from fixed APR's to 3 year ARM's and a bunch of other highly illegal shit. The company went under and despite several local news reports about it, nothing happened. Pretty sure they just got lost in the myriad of other companies going under, people losing everything and the economy collapsing.

It was a good experience for me to understand and see red flags when something doesn't feel right.
This is the grass people keep telling us to go touch?
A lot of this can be explained by our moving of the goalpost towards still attainable goals. At the moment it's the 1.5C goal, that is becoming more and more unrealistic. But of course we will aim for 2C after that, because its still better than 2.5C, etc. This communication strategy backfires to some degree, but it is not inconsistent.

This article talks about 7m of sea level rise over the next couple hundreds of years. That's pretty bad, but its easy to imagine something even worse.
Did you try searching stack overflow? https://stackoverflow.com/a/43402649

If you dedicate a specific directory for all your JSON, then you can depend on that directory and it will do what you're asking for.
> That said, it is still the case that most programs aren't penalized by GC much. But people do still work on operating systems, games, databases, video editing tools and such where getting great performance is really important.

This statement simply isn't true though, at least in the general sense. Sure, for old school atomic RC and compilers that didn't do RC elision etc it might've been true. But we can and have made smarter compilers, just like Rust has gotten smart about life times.

Like @netbioserror I use Nim, but for embedded and real-time stuff. There is a minimal overhead (one machine word per allocation), but using Nim's ARC "memory management system" gives me results comparable to Zig or Rust though with much less work. Technically ARC without the cycle collector isn't a GC.

There's no reason D and other languages with "memory management" couldn't do similar RC based systems. As the compilers get smarter it approaches the same result as Rust's manual lifetime analysis. In many cases compilers can be smarter than human programmers about memory.

Even then, there's occasions where in Nim one can and will reach for manual memory allocations. It's easy to do when wanted.

> 2. There will be things the language won't let you do, because it is garbage collected

There will be things that systems like Rust's lifetimes makes harder / less performant as well: https://ceronman.com/2021/07/22/my-experience-crafting-an-in...

> 3. There will be extra FFI costs, like when making OS calls or calling into other languages

For generational GC's this is true, but for RC systems not as much.

> There will be cultural tendencies, if a language uses GC, the people who designed it and used it are less likely to be interested in compromising other things for extreme performance.

This is certainly a thing. However, cultures can vary a lot. For example Nim provides zero-cost iterators as well as minimal-cost "closure" iterators. Now Nim's string libraries do a lot of copies by default which makes it easy to ruin performance. However, there's an open RFC to provide CoW strings to reduce this overhead. There's also the new `lent` type too. After all, it's used in games and embedded so there's desire for that.

Certainly if your language is tedious about memory management, you'll spend more time on it. Though as an end user I'm not sure I've noticed a practical difference between Go and Rust programs as compared to C#/Java applications. The latter I avoid running if possible because of their general bloat.

> The abstraction of the ORM has created the illusion that you don't need to worry about this

It's not an illusion, it's an abstraction that sometimes leaks. But all abstractions are leaky.

There are plenty of projects that never reached a point where N+1 became something they needed to worry about. There are plenty of projects where ORM allowed to delay the need to worry about N+1, thus allowing them focus on product.

And that means that abstraction is working fine. It's not perfect, but it's working.
Apple has to tread lightly on not have too robust of capabilities, especially for non-Apple ecosystem, since it might be consider anti-competitive.

I think there’s a setting for that in setup. Is your problem that Apple thinks you have a iPhone or that you have to interact with the tv on a second device?

As with all things apple when you buy in you get the best experience. That feature on AppleTV works really well with an Apple Watch.
Lelit is the counterpoint to that - I have a Lelit Elizabeth which, while expensive, is a fraction of what a Decent costs - So I’m not sure “don’t use boilers” pans out.
I want to say 1) I (admittedly) look at the world through a paranoid lens, 2) could be completely wrong. This is just my opinion.

That being said, I think you are referring to FTX right? It is the natural way to look at it. You see FTX and a reasonable person could conclude that this is simply the US Govt making sure that it doesn't happen again. In fact, it could be the only reason.

But when I see things like the TikTok CEO being dragged in front of Congress and multiple crypto exchanges (which allow for a potential way to side-step dollar hegemony) being attacked (legally) I like to stop and think about if this is the US Govt retaliating.

Maybe the USG wants to shore up support after rising interest rates highlighted that many banks are not as strong as many thought (due to HTM treasury accounting tricks). Maybe the visits of Putin and Xi to each other countries is signaling an increasingly unified "new eastern blok" which is something that the US wants to weaken. I don't have the answers again. I'm just thinking.

If you are wondering what it means for me personally, I am going to get out of crypto holdings entirely. I see this as a shift that the USG views crypto as a threat that can be exploited by enemies. Perhaps Bitcoin is safe, but that would be the only one.
I personally don't care for any open source sob stories by companies that use open source as a growth strategy. When you open source something, you will need pay the legal costs to enforce your license, the license doesn't enforce itself. It will most likely be a long drawn out process and will be a drain on your resources, especially technical ones. Don't complain when this happens, nobody forced you to open source your stuff to begin with.
This is the fundamental difference between active search and happenstance. The first starts with a practically infinite set that must be whittled down, the second an empty set that requires some effort to make additions.

FRC. Yeah, they're understandably concerned about what happens if every single robot has 1 or 2 extra wireless communications channels. They announced at least once to the audience to turn off any hot spots as they're getting tremendous noise and channel swapping for the RoboRios.

You mean Shortcuts? You can have it open this URL:

You'll want to set up Siri separately as part of it, but you can definitely do that with Shortcuts.
OKCupid back in the day gave you most of those knobs, but they got removed eventually.

The problem with spreadsheet-style filtering of humans is that in the real world that's not how you fall in love with someone. Someone can be too short, too chubby, of the "wrong" religion or political affiliation, but you still fall in love with them because of their energy, their warmth, their selflessness, their consistency, their presence and so on.

In theory more knobs = more better, but in practice I suspect it backfires by going against the grain of an authentic human mating experience. I can't imagine anything good coming out of the self-commodification and self-objectification that apps push us towards, even as someone who has more than extensive experience playing that game.
From my perspective, only lawyers will get the benefits.

Neither Weka nor MinIO and definitely not the community.

The way MinIO accusation was worded, felt like this a reaction to someone saying "Boss, they've ripped us off and are earning from it and not attributing us, here's the proof, revoke their licence."

And the way this response is worded, feels like, "Check everything if we're using their stuff, get a lawyer to draft a response, and tell them, this is not the way to handle it."

I hope both parties resolves it soon.
Multi-User Chatbots with LangChain
Or just start two chats on two accounts and copy and paste them back and forth. Maybe some rudimentary prompt hacking to undo the hidden prompt instructions that may limit that.

It would certainly be easier to do it "locally" where the central system knows both chat uuid and so do I.

And then introduce a third "user" to both for real world inputs, like an RSS news feed or something. Or "my friend Bob William Smith IV says the weather is cold and rainy" to both bot instances.

If the two bots don't go "hey I know Bob too" then this is all moot anyhow.

IMO this is more a case of who you ask and what their current goal is.

CFTC regulates commodities, so of course they will say things they want to regulate are commodities. OTOH SEC regulates securities, so they will say things are securities.

See also the way any kind of fraud can become "securities fraud" if you have investors. Basically, if your business involves defrauding customers, that is likely going to negatively impact stock price when it comes out, and if you lied and told shareholders you were not defrauding customers, you are also defrauding shareholders thus securities fraud thus SEC jurisdiction.
Oh yeah! I hadn’t even thought of that. I knew it was common for coax cables but didn’t know about RGB. That makes perfect sense though!
Imagine a blogger writing about some topic, and they have some ideas of concepts they want to find images that represent. It's possible to sift through tons of stock photography and maybe find one; but that takes a lot of time, and it sometimes ends with an expensive license cost.

Instead, with good prompting, you can not request a "photo" which matches your exact desires... close enough to perfectly that your audience won't notice or won't care about the last 1% that is imperfect.

And like the early days of online music, not only will people relax and accept imperfections (bad aliasing, mediocre sound quality), they may even become so accustomed to it that they will someday intentionally inject similar imperfections into creations so those feel more "natural" (comfortable based on the audiences' experiences).
> All it means is you cant retrain 10,000 factory workers to be front end developers, and that even If they find a job its often not as well paid.

An important effect is the speed of change - it _might_ be possible to train the next generation such as those who would have been factory workers become front end developers, but it's an entirely different challenge to take actual factory workers and train them for another job. That is to say, even if in the long run automation doesn't lead to unemployment, the short term effect may be quite different.
