Not necessarily. There should be discussion on whether we want to allow companies to use content to train models, independent of fair use. I mean can’t platforms just say that you’re waiving your content rights when you post on their platform? I think this requires discussion because it’s going to require brand new policy because it’s brand new technology, especially on the legal timescale.
1968: waiting for new latest-technology vinyl records to come out from pop stars who were setting "records" for the number of millions sold per hit release

1978: copied selected vinyl to cassettes for portability

1988: copied selected CDs to cassettes next

1998: designed RIAA circuit for digitizing vinyl collection

2008: never did digitize much

2018: people are listening to vinyl all over again
When I was a kid I learned everything I could by watching discovery channel which in the late 90s was the equivalent of what you get from the Popsci YouTube channels. This was good enough for me to write a space settlement design proposal, submit it to NASA and win. The “surface level” stuff is more than sufficient to pique your interest and get a good understanding. Combine this with good schooling and you’re on path to be a great scientist leave alone a well learned person.

Good picture, but at least part of that length is yet-to-be-inflated balloon. I'm guessing that the thicker section is the canopy of the descent parachute, so everything above that is likely part of the balloon. Assuming it is, and the balloon inflates to a sphere with the top at the same height, it looks like the telescope can point about 60° above the horizon.
Wild guess - you're also young.
better could be having a work life balance system or remote work setting where the child can grow up with the love and attention a caring mother could provide
Why are you phrasing things as if "educated" and "good faith" are related?

> I don't want to be around uneducated people who act in bad faith

Are you fine with being around educated people who act in bad faith? Those generally cause much more damage.
"Even so, the real heroes of the site are not those who make original content. It is those who post old programming from the analogue age."

What the author is stating here, which may be lost on some readers, is that he thinks (video) file sharers are the real heroes of YouTube.

He thinks the heroes are not necessarily the folks who make videos intended for YouTube (original content), but the ones who generate digital video files from analogue content and upload (post) them to YouTube. (assuming the persons generating the digital video files are also the uploaders)

Having worked in IT at a school in my early days, you couldn't convince people that iPad's weren't the way to go in a Windows ecosystem.

They're great if they're used for taking notes and using web based services. But if they need to start accessing network drives or school applications they're often not that great.

Especially for teachers.

No, I specifically object to updates, because in my experience you cannot separate one from the other. I don't want any updates that I don't have reason for... if there's new feature or better performance I don't care about them 99% of the time. If I care after research, I can install myself.
I use HammerSpoon with the ShiftIt spoon.

https://github.com/peterklijn/hammerspoon-shiftit

I like to move windows around with just my left hand, which doesn't work if you use the right command key.

Instead you can use left_alt + left_command together

The full list of commands I use with the ShiftIt spoon:

spoon.ShiftIt:bindHotkeys({
left = {{ 'alt', 'cmd' }, 'z' },
right = {{ 'alt', 'cmd' }, 'x' },
up = {{ 'alt', 'cmd' }, 'q' },
down = {{ 'alt', 'cmd' }, 'a' },
resizeIn = {{ 'alt', 'cmd' }, '-' },
resizeOut = {{ 'alt', 'cmd' }, '=' },
toggleZoom = {{ 'alt', 'cmd' }, 'f' },
upleft = {{ 'alt', 'cmd' }, '1' },
upright = {{ 'alt', 'cmd' }, '2' },
botleft = {{ 'alt', 'cmd' }, '3' },
botright = {{ 'alt', 'cmd' }, '4' }
})

Alt = Option on Mac

To move a window to the center of the screen with Hammerspoon:

hs.hotkey.bind({"cmd", "alt"}, "s", function()
-- size focused window to middle third of display
local win = hs.window.focusedWindow()
local f = win:frame()
local screen = win:screen()
local max = screen:frame()

f.x = max.x + (max.w / 3)
f.y = max.y
f.w = max.w / 3
f.h = max.h
win:setFrame(f)
end)

To move a window to the next/previous screen (external display):

-- move window to next screen
-- bind hotkey
hs.hotkey.bind({'alt', 'ctrl', 'cmd'}, ']', function()
-- get the focused window
local win = hs.window.focusedWindow()
-- get the screen where the focused window is displayed, a.k.a. current screen
local screen = win:screen()
-- compute the unitRect of the focused window relative to the current screen
-- and move the window to the next screen setting the same unitRect
win:move(win:frame():toUnitRect(screen:frame()), screen:next(), true, 0)
end)

-- move window to previous screen
-- bind hotkey
hs.hotkey.bind({'alt', 'ctrl', 'cmd'}, '[', function()
-- get the focused window
local win = hs.window.focusedWindow()
-- get the screen where the focused window is displayed, a.k.a. current screen
local screen = win:screen()
-- compute the unitRect of the focused window relative to the current screen
-- and move the window to the previous screen setting the same unitRect
win:move(win:frame():toUnitRect(screen:frame()), screen:previous(), true, 0)
end)

I use left alt and left command together for one handed shortcuts.

I use Quicksilver to set triggers to open apps with left_alt + "key"

At least in the US this is often a sign of affluence, you need to have money to attend language school after your normal classwork.

I was very ignorant of this when I was younger, my first girlfriend was Korean , but couldn't really speak it since her parents( presumably) didn't put her in classes. On the other hand, if your parents have money for language classes, they probably can afford general tutoring. So your doing better in school than your classmates.

Before you mention public school language education, your lucky if your able to read attending a public high school. I went to one myself.
My step mom did this in the 70s or 80s. She said it was the first time she heard primal screams and that you could just pick up high end outdoor gear along the trail as people would discard it to save weight.
This is a really useful review of what it's like to use LLMS for writing code. The key insight, for me, is this:

And the key take-away -- again, for me -- is this:

My father turns 74 this year. He still will very proudly 100% a Legend of Zelda title without looking up an FAQ.

The whole reason I play video games is because my parents did. Some of my earliest memories was being crammed on the couch with my parents and sister, trying to wrap my head around Missile Command on an Atari VCS (2600) before the age of three. When we got an NES, the common thing was after we were put to bed, we'd hear the screeching of tires in R.C. Pro-AM. Or the music from Ice Climber. Or the frantic quacking of Duck Hunt.

Many years ago I gave my folks a Nintendo DSi XL for the holidays, with a bunch of games. When I went back for Mother's Day, I noticed the DSi XL was blue instead of white... because they bought a second (blue) one so they could both be playing games at the same time.

Dad plays a lot more on his iPad nowadays given his vision, but things like Chris Sawyer's top-notch iOS port of Roller Coaster Tycoon. He'll AirPlay it to the TV so him and mom can collaborate, or to show houseguests his parks. Or he plays Firaxis's great ports of the modern X-COMs. Mom likes Stardew Valley quite a bit, though still breaks out the Professor Layton series on the DS.

There are limits to the freedom of expression (i.e.: what you can communicate verbally or in writing no matter what the context).

Fraud, defamation (libel, slander), perjury, etc.

No matter what your position is, you are not free from the consequences of those.
I appreciate your opinion, for sure. I wonder why you don’t consider 2 to be the “right” choice if the goal was not to bias the answer, which 3 does. Just as 3 seems clear to you, 2 seems clear to me. Have you heard of tainting a jury pool, or biasing the answers?
Not OP, but no matter what they say take it with a grain of salt. Rising kids is like throwing dice. No matter what you do (or don’t) within normal ranges of behavior, it’s pretty much a crapshoot to predict what comes out of them. The only correlation I’ve seen is they tend to emulate the parents’ intelligence levels and if you’re passionate about what you do, they might be too.
Exactly, I'll find myself doing translations in my head while speaking in English (my second language). And I find interacting socially much smoother in my native tongue.

I'm not sure if that relates directly to being able to connect deeply with the society of my upbringing, or that there is some hidden neural pattern there? For what it's worth, I've now been speaking English primarily longer than my mother tongue.
I want DDG to succeed, but I'm worried they missed their window of opportunity. Being a thin wrapper on Bing will only get you so far... I was hoping they were busy building their own search engine the past several years, but it doesn't seem they have been.

People noticed their traffic was trending downward last year, and they responded by removing their publicly facing traffic page entirely (formerly here: https://duckduckgo.com/traffic).
As always thanks for being generous with your time. Always learn a lot from you!
Why would Switzerland be a bad example in this context? The point of the study is that bilingualism does not afford cognitive advantage, so you have to consider countries where bilingualism is not associated with the factors you cite to see if this bears out. Pointing at other countries that function in the same way as the US in regard to a dominant language would just demonstrate more of the same as is found there.
Full time, permanent staff teachers at our local CC make good money. Not "big tech" money by any means, but definitely a respectable salary above the average for the area.

It all depends on what values you're willing to leave unrepresentable.

(Bearing in mind that the set of operations that you can accurately support in your number system also depends on the set of representable values.)

If you don't really care you can go arbitrarily high.
Almost everyone in China uses alternative stores, like Huawei or Xiaomi; how else do you think malicious PDD app got on their phones? The same applies to other counties in South-East Asia. I have seen our app for Android repackaged with malware and uploaded to an alternative store and listed there with hundreds of thousands downloads.

Those things can all be solved with current technology. Batteries can be insulated and heated to optimal temperatures in cold climates. There are already some roads in Sweden and Germany where trucks can charge from overhead lines while moving. One of the roads in Sweden uses rails embedded in slots in the road surface, which can be used by cars as well.

The current fleet of cars will take a long time to replace, just because cars usually take a long time to wear out. I think we'll hit an inflection point soon, though, where it just doesn't make financial or practical sense to buy an ICE vehicle anymore.

Infrastructure is a pretty big hold-up at this point. Battery manufacturing is also a bottleneck, but at least lithium prices have dropped quite a lot. There's nothing stopping companies from building a lot more factories for LFP cells.
It should start with "No. We understand how..." That is, answer the question and then explain the details.
I wouldn't say that the FSF's criteria are unprincipled. At his pre-Libreplanet talk on 2023-03-17, RMS gave a principled and pragmatic explanation of the criteria. I don't agree with him on his application of some of the principles or on where the appropriate places to make compromises between principles and pragmatism are; but that doesn't mean his conclusions are unprincipled.

Nice article, thanks!

It would be great if DuckDB handled this itself, but it seems like to be competitive with Athena on really massive datasets, you need to have a metadata layer that is used to figure out which parquet files in S3 DuckDB actually needs to query and then potentially run those in parallel. This seems to be the architecture of Puffin (which I haven't personally tried using yet).

[3] https://github.com/sutoiku/puffin

One possible thing to look into would be whether this dataset is partitioned too much. My understanding is that the recommended file size for individual parquet files is 512MB to 1GB, whereas here they are 50MB. It would be interesting to see the impact of the partitioning strategy on these benchmarks.

> ANGSTING INSTEAD OF ASKING

This is a great way of describing one of my biggest peeves in the office: So many unnecessary conflicts/dramas can be avoided by simple and honest communication.

There’s a related dysfunction where managers are (wrongly) convinced that they must answer every question in the most positive and upbeat way possible. I had to leave a company once because my manager was frustrated with many people, including me, but he was too nice to actually explain what he thought we were doing wrong. He thought it was best to try to gently encourage us with hints and rhetorical questions and vague allusions to what he was actually thinking, but when you’d ask him for a direct answer he’d switch to “everything’s great” mode. The faux positivity turned into toxic positivity and destroyed morale across the team.
There are A LOT of places in the world where lying is rewarded dearly. Including certain types of businesses in the US where lying a lot is basically a pre-requisite for company survival, growth and employee survival: banking, hedge funds and financial markets. The 2008 derrivatives crash was a concequence of that, the upcoming hyperinflation is a (predictable) consequence of that.

More generally: ads lie all the time.

Where does your assumption come from that lying has bad consequences for people?

I agree with you that lying is not nice and extremely annoying, but in my opinion the level of corruption globally (and in financial markets in the US specifically) shows that lying constantly can have extremely positive outcomes for those who lie and do crime. It doesn't seem to me like law is trying very hard to stop them either.

It is not bad faith to discriminate between "all feds" and "had FBI informants". It doesn't make sense to send informants to a group you made anyways, there's no reason to give you the benefit of the doubt here.
A lot of people who can’t code can now use LLMs to generate usable code, so it doesn’t seem totally wrong? Example: https://twitter.com/emollick/status/1649477099353411585?s=46...
I never log in.
I block all YT cookies.
I use Enhancer for YouTube, Clickbait Remover for Youtube, and uBO.
I never ever visit YT home page.
I have a self-curated shortlist of channels that interest me enough to keep up with, via local bookmarks/notes.

No ads.
No clickbait faces/emoji/etc.
No distracting annotations/cards/referrals.
No shorts.
No auto play.
The list goes on.

When used in this manner, YT is amazing. However, it is a bit of a shame that I have to go to these lengths just to make it bearable.

P.S. Yeah I know I’m a bit of a leech in this regard, but I do not agree with the business model that Google has chosen. And even still, I probably care about them more than they care about me.

> So many unnecessary conflicts/dramas can be avoided by simple and honest communication.

It's really not that simple in my opinion. The flow of information is "upper management wants this a certain way/at a certain time, I'm just the enforcer, if you don't work to accommodate/comply at a high priority, it's a problem" more often than not.
> It adds advantage to those interested in literature

That's a specific skill though, as distinct cognition generally
> DDR5 is something like 10x slower (or 10% of the bandwidth) of GDDR6 or HBM that's used on GPUs.

DDR5 is something like 50% of the bandwidth of GDDR6. DDR5 up to 8 GT/s, GDDR6 in the range of 14-21 GT/s. For example, the Radeon RX 6400 has GDDR6 at 16 GT/s. But it also has a 64-bit memory bus, compared to 128-bit for Socket AM5. So they have the same memory bandwidth, given the fastest available DDR5.

Higher end GPUs have a wider memory bus than that, but those don't fit in the CPU socket's TDP anyway. It wouldn't prevent the iGPU from having 12+ CU instead of 2.

Moreover, higher end CPUs have a wider memory bus than that too. Socket SP5 has 12 memory channels. And a max TDP of 360W. That's as much memory bandwidth as many midrange discrete GPUs, especially anything that would fit in its TDP with a reasonable power budget left to the CPU.

My experience is similar, the third language is indeed a problem. When learning the first foreign language in my mind it was "native vs other". Then when adding the third any gaps in my vocabulary would be filled by the previous language in a sort of layered cache approach. Unfortunately it is hardly ever useful to find the right Spanish word when you want a Japanese one.
"That thing was a disaster, so let's do the opposite of it" isn't more brain-dead than "let's superficially copy the familiar/trendy thing". (I say "superficially" with regard to TOPS-10→CP/M→DOS and Xerox→Windows copying; the VMS→NT copying is a much more in-depth influence and hiring of talent.)
While all of those proxies might anonymize the visit or the request, it does not anonymize the requests themselves. OpenAI keeps those API requests for 30 days. Therefore, no matter what any of them say, it is not really anonymous for this reason and never can be unless they are running their own models.
It seems that they are set up to be like this already. At least Chrome+Android treat these passkeys like any password and they can be synced and accessed via API. I already see my passkeys in Chrome btw.
https://developers.google.com/identity/passkeys/supported-en...

This sounds pretty good to me, this is therefore like a regular old password except it's a cryptographic key that I don't have to remember and it's secured by whatever device PIN or face unlock that the device has.
I think this might have a chance to succeed. Unfortunately the UI popups they implemented are not good, they need to remove the "usb security key" option and hide it under an advanced options tab. Anyone who uses that is an expert, please only prompt for the default device verification, like Windows Hello or face unlock on an iPhone.

Also the fact that Chrome by default prompts for a QR code + mobile signin flow is a bit crazy to me, it seems they are very confident that everyone who has a desktop wants to login via phone. Which makes no sense to me, do I really want to use my phone to login to all my desktop applications? I don't think so, maybe younger people who only have laptops + phones do this but still.. why would this be the default, surely Windows Hello or whatever MacOSX uses on desktop is still faster than picking up my phone constantly.
I tried it and I was very surprised that it almost worked flawlessly. It asked me to automatically turn on my bluetooth, it connected to my PC's bluetooth within seconds and actually created a working login for my desktop via my mobile phone. It's impressive that this worked... except for the part that the "sign up" popup on desktop never went away automatically!
That's not a good sign.

> I was hoping they were busy building their own search engine the past several years, but it doesn't seem they have been.

I assumed this as well. If Google could do this in the late 90s and iterate into the 2000s why can't DDG be able to do it over a decade in the 2020s?

Maybe DDG has figured out some business model and don't want to mess with it or something.
There are worlds of problems in teams and organizations that have nothing to do with what upper management wants, especially as a company grows.

Disputes between two developers on a team, disputes between two teams, disputes between a developer and a team, a bunch of teams dogpiling on another team, etc...

The above ones aren't always the same as the "what do you think of me" example for "angsting over asking" but are generally still problems of communication - the other team isn't doing what you would want them to do because they don't know what makes things easier/harder for you, vice versa, etc.

Angsting instead of giving negative feedback is an extremely common one too, and leads to people being pissed off and blindsided at performance review time.
sideloading will not mean sidestepping the 30% cut for developers. Mark my words. If you need an example, look at what happened with the Netherlands and dating apps.
You can't be serious. You've been caught in a deliberate and absurd lie. Suggesting I'm acting in bad faith is obvious gaslighting.
