I've recently upgraded MBP mid-2012 to Monterey and it works really well. Except for the permission to use Automation/Microphone/Webcam in TCC. The app installation process doesn't add itself to the TCC database so I have to add it manually via SQLite cli. However, I wasn't able to add permission for Google Chrome to use Microphone and Webcam despite the same process works for Skype/Zoom and other applications.
Actually CDU, the christian democrats, were in charge when this was decided and for most of the period while they were planning and executing that decision. Angela Merkel was in charge for 16 years until handing over to the new coalition months before the Ukrainian invasion. The CDU is a conservative party. And seriously, trying to pass off Angela Merkel as a tree hugging hippy would be quite a feat.

The thing is, this was a widely supported decision that has by and large gone through without a lot of opposition in a country that reliably votes for conservatives and moderates to lead them. Also, none of the bad stuff that people predicted would happen has actually happened. No blackouts. No massive increase in coal/gas usage. None of that seems to be happening.
The easiest is just to use a html canvas element and draw text to it and then upload that as a texture map. This can handle kerning, ligatures, emojis, different fonts and languages. Writing your own font layout tool is horribly difficult and only do it if you must.

I just remember everything getting much, much slower when all that showed up. Then we got the faster sparcs and it wasn’t as bad. Then I wound up with a job coding in XView, ironically enough. I never did code for Motif. Anyway it’s all fast compared to Electron
With respect, may I suggest that you think about spending more time with them, rather than providing for them.

It sounds like they have watched lots of TV and need to have better role-models around and interacting with them.

Maybe (if you have the financial capacity) take a holiday and go explore the world with them without any youtube or games.

I would not allow them to use youtube! But don't beat on em! Kids just follow what they see around them - so to change them you will have to change their environment.

All the best, I imagine balancing work and income with good kids is difficult. My advice, if you earn enough to eat and have a house you earn enough.

The fact that simply patching the O.S. can be enough to make it work on older hardware is a testament on how Apple could make it work on it too, if they wanted, and without much effort.

Which in my book reads as an artificial way to cut support for otherwise perfectly working machines. Forcing people to upgrade, buy more hardware, and discard the older one, even when they wouldn't otherwise have needed to do it (like when it isn't really crawling and too slow for your needs). Doesn't matter the years, if your 10-12 years old computer still works fine for you, and the needed changes for them are just a couple of driver adjustments, I don't buy the justification for not doing so.

This doesn't feel like "well the gap between how our new software and old hardware work is so big that it isn't even remotely practical to keep them together any more". But more like "well we toggled a boolean and now your're out".

So long for reducing the amount of e-waste in our polluted world!
Eh, AFAIK the WebGPU teams for Chrome, Firefox and Safari have been working closely together. Neither Firefox nor Safari are first, but I don't expect them to be much behind either.

And as far as Chrome is concerned: WebGPU support for Android "isn't existent" either so far, currently it only works on desktop.

I think you could sum up the entire discussion about anti-cheat sort of like this: We're currently at a point where game publishers expect to be able to install rootkits on their customers's PCs. This is seen as basically an industry standard security practice and general requirement for publishing.

I think it's not quite unlike the situation with DRM in movies or ads and tracking on the web. In too many parts of tech, hostile behaviour has been normalised as "standard business practices".
The opening sentence is a reference to the influential software engineering paper No Silver Bullet, and the overall post is aligned with it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Silver_Bullet
The author just asserts to have a solution to the hard problem of consciousness:

> Consciousness exists independently from the body. “We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.” (PTdC). We aren’t the body emulating consciousness, we are consciousness living through the body.

This is completely lacking evidence and is nowhere near established.

> These aren’t fringe beliefs.

only because they’re propagated by major religions that have been successful over the last few centuries (especially militarily and in trade). This does not constitute evidence of the claim.

We simply do not know where or why consciousness emerges, but to find the proposed explanation compelling, it needs to explain when e.g. in embryonic development consciousness zaps into existence. At birth? At 18 months old? At conception? Prior to conception, and consciousness is embedded in each sperm and egg?

It’s kind of an absurd view when you try to answer any questions with it, so I find the “AI is not conscious” corollary very unconvincing.
Yeah. This Mario game is like 50 years old now. Nintendo has already been properly rewarded for their efforts: they've turned a profit many times over. This stuff belongs in the public domain. Instead we have Nintendo DMCAing sites out of existence and selling people the exact same Mario game from the 80s over and over again with every single console they create. It's the epitome of rent seeking.
One of the most exciting features of WebGPU, especially over WebGL, is the ability to run compute shaders. That opens up an entire class of 2D vector graphics rendering techniques using compute shaders, including Vello. It's still in early stages, but the current code does include text rendering. There's a very rough demo at https://levien.com/vello-demo (the demo doesn't do variable fonts but the code can), and we'll be polishing that in time for Chrome M113 going stable.
I've been on this kick for a while now and the pithy version I've come up with is this:

The central conceit of low- and no-code tools is that the hard part of programming is typing code.

I have never liked the term "coder", but it has taken a while for me to be able to articulate it. What it comes down to is this: all coding is programming, but not all programming is coding. Programming is, in very broad strokes, making the computer repeatably do something for you. Coding is typing code.

Some examples: spreadsheets are programming. Yahoo Pipes back in the day, ITTT, Zapier, Microsoft Power Automate and all the rest are programming. Shell scripting is programming. Also, using any of the typical programming languages is programming.

With this understanding, low- and no-code tools are obviously programming. They just involve writing less code (if they are doing their jobs correctly). This helps to understand them.

If the solution domain's implementation is riddled with boilerplate, then this sort of tool can be a boon. There are plenty of instances where this is true.

As the solution domain's non-boilerplate portion grows, the value of low- and no-code tools rapidly drops off. This is because -- pretty much universally in my experience -- these tools, ironically, make the act of writing code very nearly as hard as it can be. These tools, designed from the ground up with the goal of minimizing the (perceived) pain of writing code, make writing code so very difficult.

So, as others have said, it is important to get tool-problem fit. And understand what it is you need to program. And if that programming challenge fits into the box that a low- or no-code tool constrains you to.

Because it might not be coding, but it is definitely programming.
Question for discussion: when have we reached the point where the Browser Feature-creep is too much and we say "okay, a browser probably doesn't need this"? Because after seeing WebUSB and WebGPU I think my personal limit has been reached.
I guess I'm a Luddite. I drive old (but still nice!) cars for security reasons, and they typically have only basic radios+bluetooth (or I add bluetooth or Avantree Roadtrip) and lighter plug chargers, so I can run audio through the car speakers. I don't care that much about nav except when I'm traveling, and then a Garmin GPS stuck on the dash works out pretty well.

Interesting that it was found at Chichen Itza, where millions of people visit a year. An escavation was started there to go even deeper than the pyramid base, but that was paused due to lack of funding. Now you just see a moat on one side that hints at what lies beneath. The tour guide had said that the pyramid is actually constructed on fill above a sink hole.

> The first is that all of these in-car systems are pretty dated even after a couple of years.

CarPlay can't really get out of date any more than iOS can get out of date. It's just a software push. The main problem with the stereo in my car is that not everything is in CarPlay, so you have this sort of absurd situation where CarPlay is supposedly just one function of many, when obviously FM radio should just be an app icon in CarPlay, and the audio settings should be an app in CarPlay, and so on.

CarPlay is the OS and the stereo unit also has its own OS, so CarPlay is basically like running an emulated OS on another computer. That's obviously very silly.

More power usage than the compute of gzip?
So the TLDR is that the electric dipole moment of electron seem to match the one predicted by the Standard Model at least as far as our current measurement capability goes and as we get more and more accurate measurements the wiggle room shrinks so the likelihood that the EDM predicted by the SM is correct increases which lowers the likelihood of post SM physics?
That’s not entirely true. The domain within which the cheating can occur shrinks by eg checking certain properties, tho the problem you’re talking about happens when only a few properties are checked because then of course only those properties need to be gamed/manipulated. It’s about how much coverage your tests have over the properties of what you’re testing

I do think that the AI space can easily be taken by a player ready to invest heavily in the space.

Just imagine what training data could look like using gpt4 and how you can become a 10X Data Scientist because of it. That is exactly what a lot of startup AI's actually do right now.

Also think that with the current state of kubernetes there is NOTHING in the way of rolling out massive datacenters of "Ai Trainers" just to throw stuff against the wall and see what sticks.

IMHO Microsoft invested so OpenAI stays on azure and that marketing has already more than paid off, because they would love you to train all your models on their cloud. But truth be told, there are still many gpus left. And Nvidias recent mega gpu shows that there is still room for domination

Part of this discrepancy was them paying off an extremely premature investment in PV solar in attempt to kick start domestic production. Back in 2009 they setup 39 euro cents/kWh feed in tariffs for solar. Those subsidies where quickly cut on new installations but as I understand it they are still paying it on those early installs. The good news is those will be expiring fairly soon and arguably those initial investments are paying dividends in current rock bottom prices for new installations.
Eh, no longer really enamoured by these thoughts, because that's really what's interesting about almost any game, but somehow I still bristle whenever people bring this up about chess.
This is completely true from a personnel standpoint. But it's worth emphasizing the difference that they don't publish transparently their biggest findings, which makes them very different from e.g. Microsoft research.
Anything but USB-C.
> But Nintendo still exists and is still producing Mario games.

Good for them. Let them sell this new stuff then. If they want to keep making money, they should have to make new stuff, all the time. Anything 10+ years old belongs in the public domain.
> Neither Firefox nor Safari are first,

WebGPU is literally built in top of work done by Safari and Firefox.
Highly explanatory, certainly. And knowing about them is arguably much better than not knowing, but I'm not necessarily on board with "bring you peace".

I feel like I run into them a lot, and it's consistently awful handling it in practice, since they seem to delight in refining their skills at social and psychological manipulation, and they position themselves to use the mediocre herd as a weapon.
Some methods of choice seem be:

* cheap, simple lies which take expensive, complex truths to sort out. Equivocating about descriptions used to challenge them.

* stand themselves next to someone/something highly regarded by the group and reframe attempts calling them on their nefariousness into an attack on that

* shameless and blatant denial of world descriptions where their behavior is anything but perfectly normal and justified. (As particularly prominently demonstrated by political leaders of certain major countries in recent years)

* introducing (or corrupting/extending existing) complex rule systems for purportedly noble reasons, then torture language or put forth extreme interpretations to find ways to claim their toxic bidding must be done, but 'It's not I who say that. That's the rules. We all have to obey the rules'. Particularly for justifying damage or conducting systemic coercion against their victims. (Harry Potter readers may wish to think of Dolores Umbridge, in this regard.)

I'm sure I'm missing several important ones too. If anyone has pointers on how to develop skills to reliably defeat these dangerous parasites, I'd love to know. Sadly I expect it's going to remain highly important skills for the foreseeable future.
It would disenfranchise about 35% totally. Yes, it's extreme. That the US like many other countries were not in any way democratic before does not make it less extreme.

And as I said, if I was a citizen of a country that decided to disenfranchise 35% of the population, then despite being a homeowner it'd be time to organise an armed insurrection; it's totally intolerable and a government that tries something like that needs to be overthrown with force.
I have a 2015 iMac, that I spec'ed up as a custom build from Apple, so annoying they don't reconize the power of these machines still and cut support.

I have an 4ghz i7, 32gb ram and a Radeon 395x graphics card, but support is cut.

The machine still runs beautifully on Monterey, so I am hesitant to use the OpenCore legacy patcher, but may have to one day if apps i use drop support.

I love my iMac, but in future, I think i shall need to got he Mac Mini + Monitor route, Mac minis are reasonably cheap and i wouldn't feel so annoyed ditching my machine when it still works well.

No. I see strong generative AI allowing people who like fun genres outside the mainstream to make music in those genres that sounds good more easily. That will enable a creative explosion as new artists are given a rocket boost and established artists are taken to the next level and made more productive.

Generative AI is going to allow an amazing diversification and explosion of art and music, which is going to create the next big AI application once current systems for distributing content are strained to overloading - interactive recommenders. Imagine asking for a piece of content, getting recommendations, evaluating a short clip, giving feedback to the recommender and getting better recommendations as a result in a cycle until you get exactly what you want.
> Do I vectorize it and draw millions of tiny triangles to approximate those vectors

That is becoming feasible, using something called mesh shaders. The millions of tiny triangles will only be created on the fly inside the GPU, you will just send the vector geometry.

Make sense. Plastics are notorious for absorbing in the UV range- for most useful spectroscopy experiments below ~400 nm we have to go straight to quartz cuvettes.
Yes, I am. A government is best measured by how it treats it minorities. A government that disenfranchises a substantial proportion of its competent population is one that deserves to be removed with arms if necessary - it has no legitimacy whatsoever.
" just about processing some letters, executing some code and drawing colors on the monitor"

Sure, nothing more. Except that this drawing colors on the monitor is plattform independent and used worldwide for all kinds of sandboxed applications and is the plattform for most commercial transactions and normal communications now. So quite trivial and surely anyone can do it.
I think it's because you want to be able to predict the next token using only 1 token or the whole context window (and any size inbetween). So, you end up getting n different losses for each text snippet (where n is the size of the context window).

If i'm wrong, can someone correct here, would be useful to know.
Good point, I should have been more precise: they require copyright assignment if you want a special commitment from them to enforce the licence terms of your project.

> In short, what attention does is it moves the words in a sentence (or piece of text) closer in the word embedding. In that way, the word “bank” in the sentence “Money in the bank” will be moved closer to the word “money”.

It's unclear to me. How does this "move" closer? Are the vector positions in the NN changed temporarily and it carries a local copy across the blocks?
My wife and I share a VW Tiguan and this is a constant annoyance. To switch devices you have to go out of CarPlay -> Settings -> Swipe left to the second screen of controls -> Mobile Device Settings -> Select device.

And since the device it initially chooses to connect to sometimes takes 30 seconds or so to be fully connected (during which time you can't make any selections in this menu), you have to sit and wait until it connects the device you don't want to be connected before you can switch to the one you do want. And then you wait about 30 seconds for the correct device to connect.

To be honest Steam was one of the best working monopolies out of the perspective of end-users.

All you needed once to play games on Linux was Steam.

Now we have a few more relevant competing game stores and you need a whole bunch of awful launchers.

I'm not saying the monopoly was a great thing for publishers though! That's a completely different story.

But for end-users it was "the one and only app store for games you ever need". This was even better than mostly everything else regarding Linux software. Steam was once like Napster. You've just got everything there. No we have the same situation like with the dozens of movie streaming providers: If you want access to everything you need accounts everywhere. That's a clear step backwards for the consumers.

If only something like Steam or movie streaming could be one globally distributed open service… Than such a "monopoly" would be the greatest thing for customers since Napster.
Unfortunately no source published as far as I can see. Would be handy to have available + issue tracker.

Since you seem to be the one responsible, I'll write my feedback here instead of a issue tracker:

It shouldn't recommend hot-linking the script, but rather to include the script into your project (or at least include a Subresource Integrity attribute so it doesn't change unexpectedly). Also feels like it's unnecessarily minified as it's so small, hardly makes a difference in payload size, but makes it a lot harder to review.
Their acceptance and willingness to distribute anti-cheat malware is really the only black mark I can think of on their otherwise very good reputation.
People who want to work for Meta enough to care about their hiring practices don’t really come out looking crash hot themselves.
Were all other political parties against it? If not, why specifically pin it on the Green party?
It does not.

It is a project I use for other projects of mine. Furthermore, it has very little overhead, i.e.: it is cheap to operate to the point I am happy to do it and make a dent in reCAPTCHA land grab.

It is still backed by real business with SLA and operational support. It is free, but it is not a toy.
