Everything else is still down and recession likely glooming. And when the recession hits the massive gainers are likely getting same-size correction.
I think the implication is that it doesn't work as a way to avoid raising taxes on regular people.
I'm a Brit (as my handle suggests) and technically I agree with your comment but if I read you can't drink "the water in the toilets" it sounds pretty literal even to me.
Nothing wrong with that, necessarily. In fact, I’d argue that’s exactly what I would want out of an ideal War3 reforged. Exactly the same game modernised for modern systems, with the “same” graphics just at higher resolution and detail.

Besides, World of Warcraft, StarCraft 2, and Heroes of the Storm were all built using upgraded versions of the Warcraft 3 engine, so it’s proven to be quite capable. It’s logical to use an updated version of the engine for an updated version of the same game.

Trying who port the game to an entirely different engine would not only be much more effort, it would risk introducing subtle differences in gameplay and feel that could mean it doesn’t play quite the same any more.

Sorry if I am to lazy to look this up but was this competition specifically for "PHOTOGRAPHS" as the capitalized in his statement? If others were heavily modified ... than this seems to point out that this is a flawed competition rule. So they want AI and Photoshop stuff compete with photographs?

I have a publicity stunt feel but I have to agree at the same time. What is even the point, this leads to photographers being pressured using AI and Photoshop to be "creative" if this is allowed, they should not talk about photographs if that case and make different categories.

Issue is, you can not verify if some slight filters and stuff is used on photos. Not know much about the topic but I guess they all use some kind of filters. But that is still very different than just telling an AI to generate picture for you, even if you feed it your own originals.
American airports generally don't have international-to-international airside transfers. In order to take the connecting flight, you must first pass though immigration and enter the US. You were planning to take the flight to Vancouver, but at that point, you could have chosen to visit the US instead.
Doesn't it all boil down to bandwidth?

AMDs IGP are way less attractive because they use rather slow DDR4/5 memory while the M2 has blazing fast memory integrated in the package.

We're talking about 50 GB/s vs 400 GB/s. Nvidia's A100 has 1000 GB/s.

Memory bandwidth is usually the bottleneck in GPU performance as many kernels are memory-bound (look up the roofline performance model).
Well there's a suprise, but what if its electric? Being electric it would have better avoidance tech.

I haven't spent too much time in New York, but I don't think there are a lot of commercial banana growing operations there that could be affected. The real reason is they can't be bothered to track who's going where, but what they can do is seize your stuff, so that's what they do.
> Doing nothing about it is approximately the least defensible.

Everything you do has a cost. Increased friction which makes people work around it. Lower productivity. Time spent implementing it that cannot be used to implement something more useful.

Don’t just do something. Do something that improves the situation - and google does. Their statement indicates that they consider the developers machine as fundamentally not trusted - and I’d consider that a correct assumption. Some of the thousands of machines will be compromised at any given time. Whether it’s via this exploit, or another or by bribing the engineer doesn’t matter. What matter is that they attempt to contain the issue at that boundary.
Solar and wind are better alternatives today. They got developed to the point they are because of those same smart, sensible Germans investing in them early on.

I think they're being "Appled" by Sony and Nintendo in the gaming industry though. The Xbox division has been on a downward spiral. Brand loyalty and Game Pass is arguably the only thing keeping them around. But as Sony continues to put out killer first party titles only on PS5, they will suffer.

I think a lot of Xbox Series X/S buyers wish they had a PS5 or buy a PS5 as well to play Sony first party titles. And come next generation, if Xbox doesn't have anything to compete with the quality of Sony's games, then I think they're dead. We're 2.5 years into the current generation and Microsoft has almost nothing to show for it except Forza and Halo, which was a delayed mess of a game. Add in to that the fact that most third party games perform better on PS5.

They've been on a downward trajectory after Xbox One, where they refuse to state how successful it is, with analysts predicting the PS4 outsold them 2-1. Xbox One was a terrible announcement and launch.

Xbox Series X/S are great pieces of hardware but they just can't compete with PlayStation in every other aspect. They've let down developers with the Series S since developers have to target 2 separate SKUs for Xbox, increasing developer effort. And in some cases developers are withholding their games from Xbox if they can't run on the weaker Series S, as you are not allowed to launch on Series X only (see Baldur's Gate 3). If Microsoft changes the rules around this it will benefit developers but it will let down consumers. PS5 is predicted to be outselling the Xbox even more so this generation. There's practically no reason for a consumer to buy an Xbox unless you're a fan of their exclusives, which they have done an excellent job of killing interest in.

I think next generation will be when Microsoft taps out and leaves the gaming hardware market, except for maybe their controllers. They will pivot to software only and focus on selling Game Pass for PC players and game streaming for the remaining consumers. Personally, I don't think that will have a good outcome.
For perspective, Microsoft has sold around 20 million of the latest generation consoles that have been on sale since early 2021.

Back in the iPod’s heyday, Apple was selling 20 million iPods during the Christmas quarter.

Apple now sells from 40-65 million iPhones per quarter according to third party estimates.
We're integrating GPT3/4 functionalities into our hardware engineering SAAS: https://www.valispace.com/ai/

It mainly helps with 2 things:

- allowing engineers to develop their products much faster (especially doing good requirements engineering for now)

- allowing us to demo to/onboard users with data from their specific usecase (prepopulate their trial account)

Hardware engineering at first does not seem like an obvious choice for LLMs, but I think that it will be those vertical solutions that will still surprise us all the most.

Here are some more details, how hardware design gets concretely aided by LLMs:

Article based on Q1 data when Urals was ~40. Urals to trading at 67 now (above cap), 10 days after OPEC+ cuts. Part of it is also took some time for systems/shadow fleet to circumvent cap. RU oil price looks where it should be relative to OPEC price movement pre cap and decrease in global crude price. Unless something else changes, RU probably down single digit % of revenue backed stopped by increased production. Meanwhile EU as whole still has to overpay for Brent/OPEC/transhipped RU oil by ~20%. Almost everyone benefits except EU/RU losing, but arguablly EU losing relatively more right now. Biggest winner non RU producers, and Asia whose now getting discount energy instead of previously paying premium compared to EU.
> how smart can you be if you're turning your nose up at or not joining in the most interesting open active conversations in the world?

Frankly, I tend towards the opposite view. How smart can you be if you spend any significant amount of time engaged in the worst platform for intelligent conversation on the internet?

Well, clearly there are plenty of smart people in either category, but we can objectively say there are a lot more smart people that don't use twitter than do.
You capitalized "TRADEMARK" several times, so I thought you were bringing attention specifically to that aspect. I'm a bit confused now, based on your second comment. Was there another reason you were all-capsing "TRADEMARK"?

It seems to me that an organization doesn't want their brand being associated with certain kinds of behavior. I realize you may want to engage in that behavior, but doesn't the brand have the right to control their logo?

Edit: You heavily edited your comment after I had already replied to it, which is tricky. You should probably have written a new post if you had more to say.

> Carrying a gun, no matter if you like them or don't like them or think they should or should not exist at a programming conference, is in no universe a copyright issue, any more than say being black, or gay, or christian is.

I don't think being black, gay, or christian is the same as bringing a gun to a conference or event. For starters, we're talking about behaviors rather than identities. It's okay to be a gun owner, just like it's okay to be black, gay, or Christian. No one is trying to restrict any of those identities.

What we're talking about here is that Rust doesn't want their brand and logo associated with certain behaviors. Namely, the behavior of bringing a gun to a technical meetup. You may feel that's an overreach, sure. But is it legal? Can't they restrict the use of their IP in any way compatible with the first amendment?

If it's not legal in certain jurisdictions, can't they still restrict the use of their logo in those jurisdictions? If they can't, doesn't that mean all brands have lost all control of their IP in those jurisdictions?
Is that Microsoft?

You are spot on and correct. Airports make about 2/3rds of their money with rent, and only 1/3rd with flights.
This is terrible - in a good way

You’d also need to find a revenue source to maintain the airport and pay salaries which is kind of important

Yeah, status seeking by using uncommon words or concepts, often noticeable in geek-culture. The same thing occurs in many cultures. “Well-educated” people in England might use more sophisticated[1] language and drop[2] references in Greek, Latin, or other languages of le très bien formées. “Elucidate” feels like a status signal in the OP’s comment.

Personally one has been working on counter-signalling[3] by using simpler words and concepts, although one cannot say one is succeeding.

[2] fucked if I can find a good reference for my usage of “drop” here however hardly I tried

[3] https://www.marketingsociety.com/the-library/counter-signall... - I chose this link because it appears to be well written and uses “elucidate”[0], “dropped” and “aperçus”.

[0] They go on to elucidate. Apparently if you… play strategy s* = ( s*, s*M, s*) where s* < s*M. Let μ describe beliefs that are Bayes consistent with playing s*. Then the expected gross payoff to sender q from signal s*M is Eμ[q´|s*M,q] = M … Yup, they rather lost me at that point.
The Annotated type is worth mentioning as well. Today in something like SQLModel you do (from the readme):

class Hero(SQLModel, table=True):
id: Optional[int] = Field(default=None, primary_key=True)

And that's fine. I wouldn't necessarily change anything here. Annotated gives you the option of approaching things in a different way, though.

class Hero(SQLModel, table=True):
id: PrimaryKey[Optional[int]] = None

I have some use cases where the alternative approach is useful, like quantification of class fields or function arguments.

He didn't edit an image so much as generate it. His work is closer to a digital painting (from a Wacom tablet, say), than a color-corrected, cropped, then filtered photograph. Everyone else started their process with capturing light from a camera.

Yes there's an index committee comprised of humans. But the index methodology is public and when there are tie break decisions needed, they're fairly predictable.

Another thing to think about is that most of the outperformance of the index is driven by the largest companies. But not because they were added when they were their current size. But because of the buy and hold approach of getting them in when they're still on the small end of the large caps. There was a good recent paper on this concept, showcasing that most of the big index returns are attributable to only a few stocks. Similar to how most of global market returns are mostly just US.

I actually doubt it would be just 2-3. Already adding up the attempts of publishers comes to more than that. EA, Ubisoft, Bethesda, Activision-Blizzard, Microsoft, Take Two...

Don't need an outright ban - just negative incentives. It should cost an astronomical amount to drive a huge vehicle in a dense urban environment and dramatically less in a rural environment. Today, in USA, that cost difference is generally not that much in practice.

Secondly, infrastructure is another much better solution than policy. Even if large personal vehicles were outright banned there will always be large vehicles in urban environments - transit buses, garbage trucks, etc.

Thus, to prevent crashes, it is most effective to just separate the large vehicles from the small with separated/protected bike lanes.
Don't need to ban, just make them more expensive in proportion to their danger to society. Activity that is economical at higher cost will continue to use the big trucks.

To be fair a large amount of the doomsaying around climate change has been proven to be hyperbole and wrong. The data around climate change is very real, but the most vocal people about it have been saying stuff like cities being underwater and ice caps melting and extreme weather like never before seen, and all in the timescale of 10-20 years. And this is going back to the 60s. We're now 60 years in the future and things are basically the same.

We have also covered two other forms of calculus over the the last week:

Alien calculus [0][1]
Matrix Calculus [2][3]

Might as well throw in some other generalizations of the derivative [4] , it is amazing how these concepts apply to all sorts of mathematical structures once you generalize them, whlie you are probably fairly interested in math if you are reading the comments here, but on the offi chance you have not done so, look up measure theory, it is a fun concept that allows you to generalize the integral in neat ways that you'll notice has a lot of application to computer science especially vision related applications.

The old reason for driving a smaller car/truck was reduced operating costs, mostly in fuel. That reason largely disappears for electric vehicles. In fact, electric vehicles are larger/heavier than ic equivalents. This problem of huge vehicles is only going to get worse. We will all have to learn to live with more massive vehicles.
