I suspect one reason NK developed nukes is precisely because their leadership don't want to be "integrated".
Linux is absolutely awesome as a desktop os. It looks and works better than windows, not to mention it’s garbage free and privacy friendly.

There must be a way to monetise it so that more developers spend time building quality apps. The desktop world as a whole is ripe for disruption and linux is just sitting there waiting to be leveraged - a bit like apple leveraged freebsd for macos.
Disney is a multi industry conglomerate interested in understanding/manipulating public policy and political trends through numerical models in the same way you would be interested in your local politics and it's trends.

They're also not just after "entertainment IP". In fact I'd say they are one of the premier proprietary data analytics orgs with respect to park management, fast passing, queuing. Same with Market Research on film/animation, they've quite literally been doing it since it's been a thing.
>The benefits of increased productivity go to all of society that can now get more of their wants fulfilled

Serious question, how exactly do you envision unemployed people without any renueve stream can afford to "fulfill their wants" when the goverment and landlords will yell them for their cut of the meal on taxes and rent at the end of every month, implying they've enough food savings to last up to that point?

> People have found new desires to be fulfilled and created businesses to fulfill them
What about the desiree to not die thanks to a crashed economy and inexistent safety nets? Seriosly, on what kind of cutesy fantasy spot do you think vast mayority of people live on, that they've the time to daydream about hypothetical wants instead of the real treath of being kicked out of a roof and starving to death?

Maybe, at some point in the distant future, some middle spot can be reached, but not sure not right now, society as we know it may be the verge of crashing and those holding the keys are hardly willing to care.
> But if you have one VP who wants to do A and one who wants to do B and the higher-ups want to know how much they'll both cost in order to decide which to do first...

Assuming that all efforts bring about the same value and it's only the cost that is different is a huge (but very common) mistake.

It's the other way around. Any time you're comparing two options they're likely to cost approximately the same, but it's likely one is wildly more valuable than the other. That is the thing that needs to be estimated.
Awesome discovery, and I absolutely love this alliteration:

Maybe, but that's basically asking him to develop the opposite of the personality type that makes him abnormally good at forecasting.
Yes, it's about the LLN. At the end you will get an error proportionally smaller than a typical confidence interval that everybody already has an intuition for.

You won't add meaningful information to the analysis.
You would think we're talking to ChatGPT astroturfing for Dell or Lenovo.
Definition #2 clearly refers to and includes an industrial chemical process as you can see in the usage examples and synonyms. This is how language works. One word can have many meanings and shades of meanings. When people talk about chemicals in food, everyone knows the definition being used is in the sense of industrially produced chemicals that are not present in plants and animals. Pointing out that other definitions of the word exist is as irrelevant to the conversation as if you were talking about eating oranges and I said, well actually that’s a color and you can’t eat it.
Isn't the fed driving rates high to encourage unemployment to put pressure on inflation? Everything else is a byproduct of that move. I think the mortgage rate move was planned for an upcoming reset in housing prices.
I think of subscription streaming more like cable which also never had them. I've seen them for purchased stuff on the iTunes store. But for e.g. Netflix originals that puts it in a tough spot.

The shift to podcasts that the article mentions is a fun one, though; I hadn't looked at it like that. The "sync this with the film" seems like a pain, but I have listened to standalone fully separate ones that I've liked, just never pictured them as "commentary tracks."
Personally I think this is the biggest selling feature of FPGA based emulation.

The reality is both Software and FPGA emulation can be done very well and with very low latency, however to achieve this in software you generally require high end power hungry hardware.

A steam deck can run a highly accurate sega genesis emulator with read-ahead rollback, screen scaling, shaders and all the fixings no problem, but in theory the pocket can provide the exact same experience with an order of magnitude less power.

It's not quite apples to oranges of course, but the comfortable battery life does make the pocket much more practical.
This is concerning, as it could lead to the criminalization of individuals who are unaware that they are unknowingly in possession of SIM farms. It is important to research the implications of this proposal and to ensure that it is not overly restrictive.
How does google make money? By having information about users and providing that to people who want to 'target' users. So in the interest of making a 'better' user experience we now have google passkeys. Is Google making this to help users or perhaps does it provide more ability to target users. Hmmm.....

You are not googles customers. Advertisers and other agent wanting to target you are google customers.

Channeling someone, "just say no to google." Or "friends don't let friends use google passkeys".
> I would like to just remind everyone of safety context, where the WHO is currently estimating 7 million premature deaths per year from particulate emissions from fossil and biofuel combustion energy sources.

Great that the alternative in 2023 are renewables and not fossil fuel then!
Getting censors to block everything has been used cheaply and effectively in the past to get a society to hurt itself.
> FPGA doesn't have the instruction pipeline as the command is encoded in the gates themselves. It means that on runtime the FPGA is not turing complete[0] as opposed to the CPU[1].

That obviously depends entirely on the circuit, many sufficiently advanced circuits probably end up being accidentally turing complete.

Every time I put my Apple laptop to sleep for an extended period, I come back to it completely dead.

It cannot even boot for an about an hour while it charges to a minimum level.
Loved it up until the introduction of proofs. Still can't wrap my mind around it. I'm beginning to think it's because "proofs" don't prove anything, they are just an argument that someone might find convincing.
I'm sorry, but classical mathematics is perfectly able to handle continuous functions. And in fact it does so more easily. Which is why most of the important theorems were proven classically first.

Sure, Errett Bishop came along with https://www.amazon.com/Foundations-Constructive-Analysis-Err... and fixed that. But it is harder. And sure, as soon as you start looking at error bounds in numerical analysis, the classical shortcuts start to take work. But it is simply wrong to assert that the continuous REQUIRES the law of the excluded middle.

In fact every mathematician has been through the classical treatments of continuity in courses on real analysis and topology. Very few can say much that is sensible about constructivism.
Are 409a valuations coming down for companies who raised at crazy valuations? Are startups repricing their employee stock option strike prices (highly unlikely?)

I think the most obvious explanation is a lot of people were hired during a time of inflated valuations and those employees received stock option grants with incredibly high strike prices.

Now valuations have tanked over 50%. If this happened in the public markets, you would simply let the options expire rather than acquire the stock at a 100% premium (for example). For similar reasons, it’s probably not advisable to exercise options granted in the last couple of years in most cases, but that’s because valuations are likely down below the strike price for a lot of people.
...this amnesia and collective forgetting tends to happen in all fields to some extent...

Well, I think there can an opposite problem that appears looking at these things. Psychology is such garbage, so likely to produce worthless experiments, that those that don't want to call a spade a spade instead try to take all the garbage of the field and average it over all science so that they can have something different to say.

This relates to the "replication crisis" [1]. You can say "The replication crisis is frequently discussed in relation to psychology and medicine..." but also said to extend throughout science. It may indeed extend throughout sciences but including a data group (experimental psychology) that you is garbage isn't necessarily a good way to see what's happening in the rest of science.

And, of course, a field "having amnesia" by itself doesn't necessarily imply any kind of problem. A given practitioner A) can only remember so much and B) benefits from a compact statement of a result, which may be quite different from how the result was originally stated. The math I learned in my MA came from text books that gave self-contained summaries of the various topics, rather than from the original papers the ideas came from and that made it much easier.

Neighborhood air pollution negatively associated with neurocognitive maturation
Not quite. USB4 is based on TB3, but interoperability with Thunderbolt 3 is optional for hosts and devices. You could use any TB4 dock and USB4 dock that have USB4 upstream ports.

40gbps, 20 gbps (in 3.2 mode), PCI-E are all optional for host.

It's a mess, but I assume "fully capable USB4 ports" means that they are indeed fully capable. 2 "full" USB4 ports imo enough. I'm not plugging 4 monitors into my laptop directly, that's what the dock is for.
An engineer’s guide to mobile biometrics: step-by-step
Do we work in the same business? Software almost always has incredible ROI.
I don't think so, from the abstract it's more like JPEG for LLMs.
I haven't seen an assumption of the same value, and didn't say that assumption was necessary - the decision-maker wants those value estimates too. Same basic principal - if value is X vs 3X but effort is Y vs 10Y... that's good to know. "Likely to cost approximately the same" has been very atypical in my experience.

Hopefully that estimation is done even in the "straight line, not-parallel priorities, no cost estimation needed" scenario!

Many of us kept our trust rating for MS right around zero despite their "embrace of open source"; it seems we were correct in recognizing it as nothing more than a recognition of market realities packaged up as a marketing ploy.
Unfortunately the existing discriminator system makes account impersonation incredibly easy on discord. You see a person on your server that looks like "Sean Hunter", they have the same profile pic etc but it's easy not to notice they are sean#3117 vs sean#3118 being the "real" Sean. There is a whole industry of people making bots etc to automatically detect and kick attempted impersonators precisely because this is such a problem.
Is ChatGPT Securities Fraud?
My belief has been that sure, someone would have created a device like the iPhone, but remembering just how consumer-hostile the phone manufacturers and carriers were at the time, it would have:

* required a carrier-specific App Store

* been just one of 20 models sold by the manufacturer

* gathered dust in their awful retail stores because the salespeople had no idea how to use it or incentive to sell it

Not only did Apple create the device, but they threw their entire weight behind it (and of course had a built-in fan base eager to try it), and committed to its success.

Even Google with Android was experimenting with multiple form factors, and would not have demonstrated that level of commitment to a single one.
Yeah Crimea isn’t Russian territory. Thank you for understanding why imperialism and colonialism is wrong.

It’s so annoying when Global North people think occupied stolen land is fine!!

Some people still to this day believe Hawaii and Puerto Rico and every other territory the US holds is American territory like Crimea is Russian.

Thank you so much for understanding the point isn’t to single out Russia. It’s to see how the entire Global North thrives by less violently colonizing and stealing resources, people, and territory from the rest of the world.
Ok, but we're not quite talking about the difference between Haskell and Clojure, for example.
This is an interesting idea, but I don't find it particularly germane to Nagel's question. To someone with a hammer, everything looks like a nail. To someone with an LLM, everything looks like a set of data to be trained on, I suppose.suppose.
I wish that my receiver could on-the-fly compile a second audio source that I grab from a URL, and play it simultaneously out the rear speakers, so that a community commentary solution could pop up. People could vote for commentaries, and I could blissfully listen to drunk, stoned, or acute America opining on my tv show or movie, and I could feel just a tiny bit less alone. I'd love it.

Redfall has been a complete critical failure and the last mainline Gears of War title is from 2019 (and this is a franchise that’s owned by Microsoft - I’m not sure what you mean by “exclusive”). These aren’t particularly good examples.
Hard disagree. I think some people (not necessarily you, but way too many people) weirdly envy too much that "lone/few geniuses" image, and when they see bigger communities and their problem, they fallaciously/unfairly assume it's because of the size of the community (and not say, unnecessary bureaucracy that a small part of that community decided to have/had early on long before they got big).

One of Julia's often complained about issues is that it could use way more developers than it has now. No amount of romanticizing a small community or "independent culture"(which I just can't see going away due to where a lot of people that come to Julia are coming from in the first place) is going to fix that, just more people coming aboard the ship.

I degarbaged mine by installing linux and calling it a day. Why would i want to pay for a product that constantly pushes for things i dont want, doesn't respect my privacy, runs ads on my desktop and looks horrible? Worse, microsoft, an extremely profitable corporation relies on the goodwill of people like you to turn it into a positive experience. Shame you dont prefer linux because your help would be greatly appreciated in making it an even better experience.
You are spot on. I use temperature 0, but even with it, ChatGPT can be unpredictable.

Sometimes I'm very frustrated about the news that get to the top. When I try to debug it, it gives me a completely different score.

I considered using ranges over discrete score, but dropped the idea, as it makes it too hard to find 1-5 articles that should make it to newsletter (there are 71 articles in this range right now) and it's hard to clearly display that idea in UI.

I guess my position right now is — it's not perfect, there are obvious errors (like the one you found above), and improvements are definitely possible.

But I hope that some people would find it "good enough" even with these inconsistencies. I also hope that ChatGPT or another LLM will make a big progress soon that would solve this problem automatically.

I think streaming services have had a bigger impact on how we consume media in general than we appreciate.

For one, very few people buy physical media anymore - but streaming isn't licensed like physical media is, so while you can buy the disk form of virtually any movie without any hassle, you may have to sign up for a specific subscription service or platform to stream. For example, I would need to sign up for Comcast to stream "Cannonball Run" - but I can buy it on DVD from Amazon.

It also means that anything that isn't available to stream, anywhere, doesn't get watched the way it might if we were still in the Blockbuster era.

And of course, missing bonus features and special cuts of films is yet another major change.

On the whole, I've been able to consume far more content that I love thanks to streaming than I think I've lost because of it. But it's worth noting the changes. Will definitely check out Criterion's service.
Gears of War is a Microsoft IP.
For every dollar lost from the stock market cap:

* The 1% lose 50 cents

* The top 10% lose 90 cents.

* The bottom 90% lose 10 cents.

* The bottom 50% lose maybe 1-2 cents (and only some of them).

A net loss in the stock market that leads to a slight redistribution of that wealth would thus be better for the majority of pensioners.

As somebody who is primarily concerned with the welfare of the average joe you would support this, no?
Submarines use bubble generators for decoys, to reflect sonar and thereby create false returns. But to make the submarine itself quieter, I think it would have the opposite effect.

I doubt noise from wind turbines disrupting sea life is a real problem in the first place, but if it really is, they could try applying some ideas from submarines such as covering the base of turbine tower with rubber tiles. Rubber absorbs vibrations and converts that energy into heat.
Oddly long winded semantic argument about the literal definition of Unidentified Flying Objects. Yes, they're unidentified, yes, they're hard to see which is why they're unidentified.
When being nitpicky about latency is where FPGAs truly shine. You lose a good bit of it by connecting to HDMI (I think the Pocket docked is 1/4 a frame, and MiSTer has a similar mode) (EDIT: MiSTer can do 4 scanlines, but it's not compatible with some displays), but when we're talking about analog display methods or inputs, you can achieve accurate timings with much less effort than on a modern day computer.

For a full computer like the Steam Deck, you have to deal with preemption, display buffers, and more, which _will_ add latency. Now if you went bare metal, you could definitely drive a display with super low latency, hardware accurate emulation, but obviously that's not what most people are doing.
Well indeed modern FPGA fabric along with the various fixed function blocks can be very complex, but this is a beginners 'How Does an FPGA Work?' for which a bunch of LUTs connected by programmable interconnect is a useful approximation.
It's not like MS will support Win10 until 2030 and you have a choice, is it?

There have been water resistant flashlights with replaceable batteries since 100+ years ago, and they can do the same with phones. The Samsung Galaxy S5 was water resistant and had replaceable battery. I can't understand why people keep repeating these canards to defend the stupid scam of sealed batteries. They make some sense in extremely tiny devices but not in large things like phones. And anyway they should always be replaceable with some minor disassembly using tools, even if not swappable during use.

COCOMO is an impressive project and I wish someone would update it with modern projects to see if/how things have changed.

But the main rule of thumb I brought from COCOMO was that it takes 5 person-days to get 100 lines of code from idea to production. That has been remarkably accurate in my experience. I've witnessed high-performing teams do 125 lines in 5 days, and low-performing teams doing 60 lines in 5 days, but it's still well in the ballpark.

I love how the popular vote is only ever mentioned when it’s to defend the idea that all these analyses “were actually right”

You’re not getting it. The analysis, the “28%” - those were wring. those were poor analyses

Yea they came back after and made up some bs about “oh we know what we did wrong now!”

When I was in school all the people who were cheating their way through math did the same thing. They couldn’t solve the problem, and the second you gave them the answer they magically “got it”
