> Many people can contribute to the development of the system, for the most part without interfering with each other. This has led the EMACS system to become more powerful than any previous editor.

RMS wrote these words in 1981. Org mode was released in 2003 (! twenty years ago?!) and added functionality that for many users is much of what Emacs offers. Today there is a mature ecosystem of incredibly high quality packages, and Emacs itself continues to become even more extensible, with the underlying infrastructure helping “libraries” become even more well behaved and composable.

This part of the story alone is a staggering triumph, comparable to the success of the Linux kernel and all that it has become, absorbed, encompassed, and grown to nurture.
I bought a DJI2 which uploaded all my videos to a cloud service and didn't have the option to disable cloud backup. No thank you!
"You need to enable JavaScript to run this app."

...so I did, after some contemplation at what this app will attempt to do, and am greeted with a brief amount of static text and two animations that could easily be GIFs.

IMHO, having to display a spinner at all is usually a symptom of the "modern web". Ironically, this app itself didn't display any while it was loading.

What’s on my mind is when they’re sufficiently “real” that it doesn’t matter whether they’re actually “conscious” or not, they exploit our empathy.

They need a few algorithmic improvements first, imho. GPT4 is noticeably slower than GPT3.5 and apparently costs a lot more to use, implying some serious compute costs.

They could train it with more data in the hopes of getting another big leap there, but what data is left? They've fed it everything it seems.

So what's left is getting the runtime reduced in terms of the model size. Hire some brilliant minds to turn an N-squared into an N-log-N (or something to that effect).

Maybe GPT4 has some ideas.
What adapter do you use? My car has a USB A port that accepts a regular iPhone charging cable - takes all of five seconds to connect as I'm getting in the car.
Surely someone can do better than this, but the spinning one looks broken to me, as if something snapped and it just began rotating violently. Why do some dots have different shades if not to convey the same motion as the rotation? It might as well be any random image spinning on the page. Maybe it feels like there's a lack of intention?

I genuinely wonder how they justify that figure. They could maybe justify a subscription if they offered a significant service, but they are by definition going to deliver a worse experience than CarPlay/Android Auto - simply due to it not being your own smartphone.

Why would anyone buy an expensive car which is designed to last a decade while it has essential pre-installed features locked behind a subscription? If they want recurring revenue that badly, they should just lease it out.

This is literally backwards...

Nike going ahead with the Jordan contract was very much about ESG and they even explicitly state this in the movie.

In fact, the company that was all about maximizing shareholder value as represented by earning profits lost to Nike because of it... And is now owned by Nike.
It’s better than a free-form input, but that still has to mix input from the prompt and the user in the model. Quality of isolation depends on training, so that’s still a probabilistic result, not a guarantee.

Tangential pet peeve: when a "fluid" spinner spins slightly off axis.
I dunno about that. I think there's a sweet spot with "AA" developers kinda like Obsidian (at the top end of the scale) and Coffee Stain... if you are lucky enough to wind up in one.

And by sweet spot I mean both business efficiency and quality. They arent just burning money and melting devs' faces for a soulless rehash like many AAAs, but they can stay above water better than an indie (especially with a big "hands off" backer like many have). And I think that sweet spot will be even more pronounced in the coming years since AAAs are losing many of their advantages, like high budget VA/asset making being replaced with AI, and fully bespoke engines being more of a liability than an advantage.
You only need brightness to simulate the illusion of rotation in stationary dots. If the dots are actually rotating then you can just make them all the same brightness. Using two attributes to simultaneously recreate the same effect is overkill and ruins the effect altogether.
I feel like our positions are probably both buried in webs of mutually-difficult-to-communicate worldview assumptions, but for what it’s worth, I care more at this point about the models being useful than being meaningful. I use GPT-4 to do complex coding and copy editing tasks. In both cases, the model understands what I’m going for. As in, I had some specific, complex, nuanced, concept or idea that I want to express, either in text or in code, and it does that. This can’t be me “projecting meaning” onto the completions because the code works and does what I said I wanted. You can call this a light show, but you can’t make it not useful.
FWIW no I don't think it has anything to do with the FAA. They don't care about it blowing up on landing and taking lots of SpaceX's extremely expensive infrastructure with it, it wouldn't be any worse then it blowing up at lift off full of fuel which naturally has already been accounted for as part of the safety and environmental review. SpaceX though very much cares, and it's cheaper for them to expend an SS+SH (the whole point of which is to mass manufacture and next version is improved already) then tower, fueling infra etc. Geographic constraints have forced them to have a lot of stuff much closer to the pad than might otherwise be ideal. An explosion at launch would be legitimately painful, would easily be months of delay not due to regulations but just in raw rebuilding, and set back their whole schedule and moment they can start putting it to work. Wouldn't kill it or anything, but it'd suck, which is why "minimum goal" has been stated to be getting high enough above the tower before blowing up to not hurt anything on the ground, then its gravy (obviously everyone would prefer it do much better than that). So they're being quite deliberate, pushing but not reckless gambling. They're running a hardware rich program, they can afford to do that, it's part of their competitive advantage. They'll start trying to land SH for real once they're confident the odds of avoiding any serious tower damage are sufficiently high.

Yeah if I cared that much about this, I'd likely just mount an iPad on my dash. (Understood it's not as nice as CarPlay or the integrated car controls)
Probably not, since DJI is a Chinese company. Don't really think we can ban their export. Oh as much as the US would love to have that kind of control. All it can realistically do is ban what can be imported into its own borders.
Same for me. I had gotten rentals with CarPlay before, and I considered it pretty neat but kind of a hassle to have to plug the phone in and find a good place to set it and get the wires situated. Now I own a car with wireless CarPlay and I just never take the phone out of my pocket and it automatically connects and continues the music where it left off and has my google maps ready to go. The car’s infotainment system is passable but not stellar for either maps or music, and I basically never even see it.

I won’t buy another car without wireless CarPlay. Or maybe android auto if it’s also good; I haven’t tried it in years. But I want nothing to do with a car manufacturer’s crappy outdated infotainment systems ever again.

Edit: one fundamental problem with what GM is attempting is that the software embedded in a car is on an extremely slow development cycle and is never upgraded in any significant way. If they want to impress me, they need to keep the CarPlay/Android connection technology and then sell me a super slick GM device that connects to that and is better than my phone. I would gladly buy that, and possibly even pay for some subscription services, but it has to be separate from the vehicle that realistically gets upgraded only when I replace my car every 10 years. A 10 year upgrade cycle for the type of software we are talking about is pathetic.
I'll speculate that smooth animations like the rotating spinner (right) made for larger gif images due to needing more frames. So historically the pulsing spinner (left) was preferred. You don't want the spinner itself to take very much time to load, either.

Personally I like both, and might pick one or the other as a stylistic choice.
It's when I go to /r/all to see what the broader Reddit is up to. Basically every day there's war footage (at least marked nsfw), the other Reddit front page was featuring a video of a Ukrainian soldier being beheaded by some Russians. Also noticing more random videos of fights and people getting beat up. I don't remember this from Reddit even a year ago.
I'm considering it to be either "Amazon Basics Copilot," or "GitHub Copilot Worse."

I've used both; CodeWhisperer is free because it basically sucks, comparatively speaking.

>technology that shatters economies and transforms the nature of human creative endeavours

one pattern in modern history has been that communication and creative technologies, be it the television or even the internet, had significantly less economic impact than people expected. Both television and the internet may have transformed business models and had huge cultural impact, but all things considered negligible impact on total productivity or the physical economy.

Given that generative AI seems much more suited to purely virtual tasks or content creation than physical work I expect that to repeat. Over past cycles people have vastly overstated rather than underestimated the impact tech has on the labor force.

I bought the small foldable dji mavic when it first came out. I could not fly it with the provided controller without installing an app, creating a login, and activating the drone. I sent it back immediately.

Later I found out HOW MANY different sites the app would have connected to when I installed it. This kind of thing is horrendous, but businesses have normalized the practice.
Could someone explain why you couldn’t just checkpoint the model before responding to the query (assuming the model context changes as a result of the query, otherwise unnecessary), run the query, and then have another model evaluate if the response was in compliance with the original rules. If it was not, roll back to the checkpoint. Otherwise, proceed. You couldn’t prompt inject the regulator as it is not taking user input, so it’s just a matter of instructing the regulator properly, which should be quite feasible.
What you're advocating for is blind obedience to authority.
"expecting"

I was looking at https://css-tricks.com/single-element-loaders-the-spinner/ to see some other ways of doing spinners, but after seeing that I realized that having fancy spinner loaders just frustrates me. It reminds me of all the time I've spent looking at a spinner and waiting for an app/page/game to load. The fact that a lot of time was put into designing a nice spinner is almost an insult.

I think the optimal spinner might be the simplest possible one, just show something moving/changing to show that the page is still loading.
Thanks for your reply!

I had tried using :perldo, and thought it hadn't worked (I was distracted by the "Variable length lookbehind is experimental in regex" warning, and didn’t notice that it had in fact run silently).

However, in this case I expect there to be false positives, and need to run it interactively; perldo it replaces globally without confirmation. Is there any way to get match-highlighting & confirmation with perldo?

I'm guessing you didn't drive an early ford with the windows experience. my favorite was driving a rental car where a popup popped up over my speedometer while driving. there was no "touch", so I couldn't press the "OK" button, and there were no buttons on the steering wheel I could ever find to press it either (there were in later model ford cars).

I ended up having to power the car off to get the dialog to go away, but in the meantime, drove in the right lane because I had no idea if I was speeding or not, and couldn't imagine trying to explain that to a cop if I were pulled over.
I remember exploring a "traditional html with images" website about natural selection (I don't think it was interactive, but I do think the source code for each experiment was provided). I assume it was made by a mathematician / physicist. Do you by chance happen to know which site I have in mind? I (vaguely) recall a blueish gray background.

There's a lot of games where the "State" is important the most obvious of which being poker.

In a game of poker you can devise a game theory optimal strategy for any given position which is objectively the best, but that's not what most players do. They try to mix in exploitative strategies which abuse the tendencies of their opponents. These tendencies are revealed after extensive experience with the players.

There is an aspect to this in chess as well, you can treat the best move as the one which is objectively best (Game theory optimal, as evaluated by chess engines usually), or you can treat the best move as the one people in general have a hard time responding well do or that your opponent doesn't play well against (Exploitative, as evaluated by opening database statistics or a players history). Yet once a tricky opening becomes popular, people wise up, and it starts becoming a bad opening again. Whereas old traps become forgotten and effective again. Whereas objectively good moves are always objectively good.

Another huge aspect to winning the game is just playing against bad players. In chess players your performance is rated based on the rating the other player, so you shouldn't fear playing games against a stronger player. In Poker your performance is measured in dollars, and you should absolutely fear playing games against a stronger player. So to be most effective in poker, you want to know the history of the people you're playing, which is why poker tools like sharkscope exist which tell people which tables are filled with historical winners.

You can play games in a stateless way and do pretty well, and the benefit to doing so is you learn skills that work against anything from the weakest to strongest opponents and allow you to play objectively good moves. But adopting a few stateful strategies can absolutely give you an edge against squishy humans. You can play the board, or you can play the player, at the end of the day all that matters is who won and who lost.
Brandolini's Law existed 100s of years before the advent of the Internet.

One of my favorite "Mark Twain" quotes is:

“a lie can travel halfway around the world before the truth puts on its shoes”

The best part is that we actually have no proof that he said it proving Brandolini's Law way before the Internet was invented. In fact, this quote and variants of it have also been misattributed (perhaps not??) to other great quote misattribution folks like Gandhi, Churchill, and Einstein.

Nothing will be as good as Solaris because the codebase was proven with years upon years of enterprise use at scale with a support organization behind it. Big-ass paying customers will find more/less all of the edge cases and want their systems fixed with a patchset now.

One example of how things from Solaris aren't as good: tldr: ZFS. Solaris' was good, all others are fragile and unproven.

FreeBSD ported ZFS first from OpenIndiana. They threw that away and adopted ZoL (OpenZFS). ZoL morphed from the OpenIndiana code into an largely untested, hacky manner. Each OS should've thrown it away a long time ago and started with a clean room implementation for each OS, sharing only comprehensive disk specification, user documentation, unit and integration tests, and fuzzing. The OpenZFS initiative tries to serve too many masters, has too many cooks, and no one's validating code adequately.

On Linux, for anything real, I'll take XFS on mdadm. At least I won't lose an array because of shitty ZoL code and lack of support for said shitty code.

> the failed promises of LED longevity

LEDs last remarkably long if used correctly. You can make a light that will easily last thousands/dozens of thousands of hours. What doesn't last is a typical LED lightbulb for legacy sockets, because of the planned obsolescence/race to the bottom, and because it's a complete device (power supply, heatsink etc) which is far too powerful for its form-factor. Not sure what of that you expect to change.
