> We haven't co-evolved with lab-grown food for several billion years, or had transmitted cultural experience with it for tens of thousands of years.

Trust me, you haven't co-evolved with a single plant you pick up at the supermarket today.

None of the hybrids you eat evolved naturally.

Which version of Bootstrap? Since BS5+ offers very similar CSS utility classes to Tailwind, but with no preprocessor step/tooling.
Even so, being overweight is unhealthy and if you go into a store in Japan it's hard(er) to find unhealthy foods. In Sweden, the amount of candy that is available is almost scary and because I'm used to it, it wasn't until I visited other countries like Japan that this became clear to me how bad it is for me and society in large. It is really, really hard to avoid buying unhealthy foods when so many of the options are unhealthy. You have to read all packages very intimiately in order to know.

Swedes usually eat sandwiches in the morning while many Japanese people eat rice and fish. There were no almost no bread available in the stores when I visited and I think that is also telling. When I went to the cinema in Japan, it was only us foreigners that bought candy (which there were very little of and very expensive). I saw no one else buy anything, they just went in and enjoyed the movie. When eating out, there were a lot of choices of good quality restaurants and even the fast food seems quite healthy or at least have options that isn't dripping with fat and sugars like the alternatives in the west.

Another example is ice tea. It's very popular in Japan it seemed like. It existed everywhere in shops and vending machines. Here it's almost impossible to buy. You can buy hundreds of different kinds of expensive sugar water but ice tea is hard to find in the general store.

If rice is so bad that the article claims, japanese people should be extremely unhealthy but in reality it seems it's the complete reverse at least from my personal experience. I don't know the health status of Japanese people in general and a lot of them smoke but they still at least seem more healthy than Swedes on a society level.

Okinawa, which I visited, has a lot of old people and is one of the "blue zones" of the world were a lot of people live to be 100 years old or older.

I'm just saying that I don't believe what the article claims since my experience that I have seen with my own eyes tells me a different story. The article seems extremely likely to be click-bait and possible just false information. I'm expecting to at least get some notion of what the claims are by reading the ingress and I'm not going to pay for reading what I assume is going to be clickbait.

I just think this is common practice by "journalists" today and I think it's depressing.
If Einstein creates some 3D graphs or plays a simulation to make his point, it will be more convenient to already be in that world.

Why? Dragnet censorship doesn't care about collateral damage, assume all traffic is potentially "dangerous" and shoot every bird at sight. Or just capture them and release if confirmed free of harmful information.
You are calling Meloni's government "left-wing"? Italy has not had a government so far right since WW2.

>> Expect VR to be better than zoom

It's worse, why would I expect VR to be better than facebook video. I think facebook video is worse than zoom, to the point that internal employees will use zoom for meeting sometimes.

I feel like they should have built the world's best group video/audio product in 2 months, made it free, and used that momentum for metaverse
New Weaviate Podcast with Dennis Xu, Co-Founder of Mem
I'm super excited to publish our newest Weaviate Podcast with Mem Co-Founder Dennis Xu!! Dennis is at the cutting-edge of applying the latest advancements in AI to note taking or knowledge management software. In other words, shaping the future of knowledge work itself!

Dennis explained a ton of interesting topics such as personalized embeddings and organizing your digital footprint through the Me API, of course the trending topic of how GPT-4 and recent advances in LLMs are changing things, and many more topics in what it is powering these systems!

Please check it out and let us know what you think!

Not to mention diet of the peoples living in tundra that includes such wonderful stuff as e.g. igunaq.
If and when lab grown meat will be a thing for the masses, Italy will follow suit because "Italy would not be able to oppose the sale of synthetic meat produced within the EU when it does gain EU approval, because of the free movement of goods and services." Furthermore governments change and legislation follows them.

Anyway, people will decide which kind of meat they prefer. Taste, cost, availability, etc.

Italy didn't have to ban Starbucks when they eventually opened in the country. It did no harm to its espresso heritage. Some people went to Starbucks, nearly everybody didn't, even in the few cities where they had a shop. I think they have less than 20 shops in all the country. Espresso is still well alive, bars survived Covid, Starbucks too.
"The 10x engineer gets to the 'why' that you are building something, not the 'how'."

It's a pity that our interviews are all biased towards the "how"
What if lab grown meat makes transferring livestock or meat products half way around the world unnecessary and comparatively costly?
Explaining Autoencoders seems to be a rite of passage for ML bloggers. It's conceptually understandable but has broad applications and is a jumping off point into other architectures.

Educational content tends to have a bias towards concepts that are easier to explain rather than what is most useful. But as far as the latter goes, Autoencoders are a good place to start.
Love Tanenbaum.

Fun fact about HP pavilion laptops: They need the battery installed to preserve secure boot bios information. Otherwise, it's a complicated set of post interactions to do a one-time reset.
> He isn't BBC staff.

That's not a fait accompli, and is why this situation arose:

> Do the policies apply to Lineker? The answer is yes. The policies apply to everyone who works for the BBC.

https://www.russells.co.uk/own-goal-for-bbc-with-gary-lineke...

> “I think there’s quite a lot of confusion about the extent to which the impartiality guidelines extend outside of news and extend to freelancers rather than staff, and until that’s cleared up we’re going to go on having these kinds of (problems).”

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/gary-lineker-bbc-confu...

The public face of the BBC is not affected by whether or not the person is a permanent employee, but rather how prominent that person is in the organisation. It's disingenuous to suggest otherwise.
Chain of thought reasoning is being explored with some success. It’s better for it to be explicit output instead of internal, remember that the next token is being predicted based on the previous ones.

Your two points may not be as sound as you think. The second one can be defeated now since ChatGPT is quite good at generating descriptions of what code is doing. The first point is more subtle, you can iterate on code with ChatGPT but right now you need to know how to run the code to get the results before providing feedback. Once tools are developed for ChatGPT to do that itself then it could just show the results and a non technical person could ask for follow up changes.
That's also caused by design reviews and regulation that require "breaking up massing". So you get boxes jutting out and a mishmash of cladding materials.
How to build the changes made in the Open Source project(GNOME)?
I'm interested in starting my journey in open source contribution and would like to know how to make changes to existing open source projects and build them locally to verify the changes I've made on my system.

Specifically, I'd like to learn about the build process and how to verify changes such as tweaking UI elements, enhancing user commands, or adding new tools to an open source project.

Any advice, tips, or resources on this topic would be greatly appreciated. I am a newbie in this journey so any leads will really help me a lot to start the open source contribution journey.

Thank you!

You think Musk is "simply paid by the Chinese"?

I'm not a fan of his antics or public persona, but it's a pretty huge claim to make with 0 backup that he's in the pocket of the CCP. Where did you get that idea anyway?
Maybe the 10x engineer isn’t true, but I’ve worked at companies where I was on a team and my output was equal to the rest of the team combined. So if there isn’t such a thing it must mean that there are 1/10X engineers and they’re prevalent.
Thanks for your work in this space, it’s incredible!
This is exactly my feeling from the whole letter. I don't understand why are people scared of ChatGPT and similar, when it is just better IntelliSense
Used an Irish card about 12 hrs ago, no problem.
The Colorful Problem That Has Long Frustrated Mathematicians
There are examples, yes, but I took it as the implication that a 10x engineer shouldn't be the bare minimum for the entire workforce's ability to reason about a problem or dedication to its craft (and thus lead to the meme that one isn't worth spent effort unless they are in the >=10x group).
The « > » part should not be necessary 90% of the time.

And while using Tailwind, I still have to know where I include my components. I still need to test different instances in different places.

With that in mind, I don't see the added benefit of Tailwind here (again, other than limiting the damage done by careless devs). Maybe I'm missing something?
there is a clear self-reinforcing loop between A what's offered and B what's picked that is based on both A and B looking for the trend and only slightly controlled by A and B looking not to be too generic and to be somewhat original

the more investment required, the safer people will play it

it seems to me that the examples picked:

- collectively commissioned art
- cars
- interior design
- building design

are all things that have become increasingly taxing investments, at least in terms of perception, and the bigger that impression is the safer people will play it and the more they will try to copy others and look at what's trendy

this is compounded by hypersocialisation and the share economy - if you buy a house to rent out, or to show online, you want it to be a safely designed house like those that are succeeding and are popular, and your particular quirks and tastes, if you have any contrarian ones at all, you'd rather suppress them for the sake of the business
The tooling will be pretty interesting.. basically prompts per file and a overlaying diff per prompt..
Focus mostly on the almost functional design of software, with well defined input and output as the most important criteria. Also lots of "meta" tags, that filter the trained in network layers for "fast" code, "secure" code, "minimal working smaple" code by injecting addtional prompts. The trick is to use the prompts as a selection menue for the data variations stored within the Network.
This also happened to me. So I decided to uninstall the snap and “apt install firefox”

Guess what I got?

A freaking snap. Yes, try it.

I find it funny that now fuzzers are being written in rust, as if that translates to better quality bugs being found.

It looks to me like the effort would have been better spent writing a decoder in rust. AFAIK Mozilla moved the mp4 (that's the container format often used around h264) parser in firefox to rust, but their h264 decoder is from ffmpeg (?). In the end the h264 will most likely be decoded in the gpu using closed source code by the hardware vendor.

Kudos to the team for doing smart fuzzing instead of just throwing garbage. Most fuzzing projects spend much less brain power, and usually get worse results.
I switched to pop OS (after a brief stint with an arch distro) and have never been happier.
Congrats Yann?
Nice concept. I especially like the three bars to fill.

I assume you use this yourself. When you have to do computer work outside of Flout, does it bother you that it’s not tracked? Manually adding data in a way that isn’t annoying and doesn’t feel like cheating is challenging; I remember old companies like RescueTime agonizing over it.

Find a deb packaged for an older version of Debian and see if it runs, there's no guarantee, if the software was closed-source you're basically out of luck, unless people statically link all of glibc, ssl etc into their application which is a big no no.

This is the problem that Flapak, Snap etc try and solve. I won't put AppImage onto that list because it actually doesn't solve the problem it just makes it worse.
You're not wrong, but it's a real shame that the English language keeps deteriorating this way. Most of the time, it's obvious from context what one means by 'literally' but not always. Why create extra ambiguity when there already exists other functional language constructs to express the same thought with clarity? It does make me wonder how much this happens in other languages, especially ones like French where there is an effort to keep the language from morphing too much, too quickly.
The author showed some skylines from a distance and claimed all cities look the same. But that’s juts not true. Hong Kong and London look, feel, and work very differently from each other, even though the latter was a British colony.
They aren’t reinventing the way you write styles. Tailwind is actually just a CSS design token and utility class library at its core. It’s the Bootstrap of the 2020’s.

Regarding design tokens, they are taking notes from 1996, and they realized that it is much more computational efficient to describe your component visually with inline styles compared to loading separate style sheets.

Tailwind and CSS design tokens in general make it easier to make smart, efficient choices from curated palettes. Design tokens also create a common language for everyone who uses Tailwind - both across teams and across projects, which can break down communication barriers in large scale projects.
My knee-jerk reaction to this article was pretty negative, but that's because the initial example (the paintings) is pretty bad. This experiment was made in the worst possible way: the same two artists rendering their interpretation of what different people say they want, and the paintings are unsurprisingly similar: the same bluish sky, the same tree to the right, the same mountain to the left. As an example, it's terrible and unscientific: it's pretty much a statement on these two painters, and not much else. It's impossible, for example, that every person interviewed wanted a tree to the right of the painting -- that's just what the artists themselves preferred. It's also questionable whether people actually want what they claim to want in an interview.

That said, it's hard to deny the other examples are spot on. I suspect they are cherry picked (surely you can find celebrities that do NOT look like those in the example), but I find these samey blandness everywhere. It's on the "Netflix look", it's on book covers, it's on how malls and supermarkets look, etc.
That really seems like it should have been filtered out first.
Pollutants of your ICE are hurting others, while the taste of meat is solely on the consumer themselves.

You're shifting more work onto distros and users that shouldn't be work in the first place, and basically preventing non-linux literate people from using their OS.

If I install software on MacOS or Windows, I don't have to care if it was packaged for an older version etc, or that my distro may not package a dependency.
I used a UK card and it worked first time.
Pycharm basically covers every corners of my workflow. Their git integration is just better. And code highlighting + linting implemented in Pycharm is way better than the others, reducing bug rate by a lot. Also now I can just right click to run doctest inside the code to ensure everything is alright. Testing cannot be more easiler than this. What's great is than everything come out of the box, no extension nonsense (e.g. VScode, you can't even change the background color by yourself).
Do you think Amazon cares? If most customers keep coming back, then Amazon is happy. If they have enough sellers too.
They find plenty of bugs in their own devices too. And it's not like they aren't responsibly disclosing to Apple.

But I'd be curious how strictly their 90 day disclosure policy applies to Google products, and if they are more willing to grant some leeway when a fix isn't pushed in time...

And even that is fraught with problems, because in my neck of the woods (Germany) we generally do not buy houses/appartments furnished (and renting appartments furnished is also an exception and not the norm. Even kitchens are empty rooms without cabinets and appliances.).

Edit: Even though the AirB'n'B methodology is not perfect, I agree with some of the conclusions. Just like radio/tv has smoothed out local accents and dialects within a country, the internet produces global trends. This is not all bad.

It's the same that has always happened. Human groups tend to become homogeneous because this helps survival.

The difference is now the cultural bubble is global and of course it's completely irrelevant for survival.

In the computer science academic sphere, the conferences at which one is a reviewer is among the top items on a CV. It implies that you are such a pillar and expert in that community that they would ask you to referee the merits of incoming academic work. Usually to be invited as a reviewer at a top venue, you should have a history of successfully having your work accepted to that venue. That's very difficult as acceptance rates for top CS venues are generally around 20%, and even experienced submitters often have papers rejected. My paper was actually recently rejected from Oakland (a top CS security venue).
I think the new AI tools are going to help me a great deal. There are books that I know I’m not going to read but I’d still like the Cliffs Notes distillation. I think an AI that understands my areas of interest could create personalized summaries of those books.

I’m also looking forward to seeing if the new AIs work as better recommendation engines. Again, once the AI gets to know me, I’d love to be able to ask “I want to learn how to sew a messenger-type bag. Where do I start?” Hopefully I’d get back a list of books, videos, and local craftspeople. (And I actually do want to learn that…)
I am aware, i was pointing out that chatgpt is not gpt 3.0 based but 3.5 and subsequent releases are further along.
It's best practice not to have any shell tools in your app container, including package managers. It bloats the image and can be a security vulnerability if a zero day exploit hits the app. Ideally a container is something like distroless which just has the libc and dependencies you care about and nothing else, not even bash.
I'm surprised this isn't considered a bargain.

I also switched to arch for a bit, but then I was left with an unbootable system after the arch devs shipped grub's master branch as stable. The arch devs were completely unapologetic and told me 'well maybe you shouldn't use arch if you can't recover a system who won't boot'

Immediately formatted and switched to pop OS and I've never been happier.
This is a common misunderstanding; fine-tuning a model does not mean teaching the model new information. Fine-tuning is used to adapt the model to perform better in a specific task or domain using the information it already has, in a specialized way (like a chatbot for question/answer interactions). Training a LLM on new data is extremely expensive so it's not possible.
One example that is missing but would actually have been more obvious is the smartphone. They basically all look the same.

It seems to me that some winners emerge, which makes other competitors want to replicate the winner's formula. Over time all products end up the same. Trying to deviate from that sameness will either result in customers not being interested or everyone copying you. This may be bad for innovation.
