The kit I use (cinestill) is a 2-bath process (Developer, and Blix) and not accounting for the time to get the products to 103F, developing a roll of C41 film takes less time than B&W and gives me more consistent results.
Are you totally unaware of the history of Microsoft all the way back to the 80s?

Microsoft does not care about anything more than the bottom line. As long as they can increase revenues and market penetration, they will do it. They've been playing this game since IE.
Windows 11 does this too, and it's infuriating. If you click a link in settings, it will only open in Edge.

As a Firefox user, I'd like to keep Edge as an alternative to check websites with. But this shady nonsense makes me want to burn every last bit off my system.

While he certainly points out things that have been true about AI hyperbole driven by profit seeking, its ironic how he himself is hyperbolic about the ineptitude of modern AIs while hawking his pdf e-book on the subject for $35.
The more discoveries like this are made, the stronger the anthropic principle becomes.
The continuous requires the law of the excluded middle, which makes it harder to imagine as it's not easy to "construct" an image of x in our mind purely from a proof of "not not x". That's why non-continuous (constructive) maths is also known as intuitionistic maths. For anyone who's not familiar with why constructive mathematics is non-continuous, it's because without the law of the excluded middle, only the computable real numbers (and analogues) exist, not the whole real number line that's present in classical mathematics.

The Banach–Tarski paradox is an example of an unintuitive result of the LEM, a paradox that doesn't exist in constructive mathematics.
A friend found a Harmonium in the trash and we played around with it for a bit (it was shot, bellows ripped and wood case dried and cracked) I would not call it as portable as say an acoustic guitar, but the thing I had could be carried with ease on a backpack frame or even shoulder strap.

The first H-151 I built had a flaw. We went to the Heathkit store, about 45 minutes away, which provided the instructions for the fix. It was something like "scratch this trace off the circuit board and solder a wire between these two points."
The only way workers get any say over corporate decisions about things like compensation, layoffs, stock buybacks etc. within the investment capitalism model is if they are organized and control voting seats on the corporate board.

Don't worry, implementing this as the standard in the USA will not result in "Marxist Communism" - it's the norm in Germany today, e.g. VW is controlled by a 20-seat supervisory board where unions control half the votes. The result is neither a shareholder's nor a worker's paradise, but a reasonable compromise.
The email gets marked as read once you click out of the email to view a different one (which I agree is unintuitive, but it is not true you have to explicitly click "mark as read").
Thanks for the great feedback. The back button navigates to the previous slide. The tabs take the height of the tallest tab, I thought that was normal. Tooltips should hide on scroll, indeed. The forms have border when --nui-border-color and --nui-border-size are set. The focus indicator is the native style on purpose to avoid confusion. Thanks again.

I can't believe i'm about to suggest this...

But, why doesn't Firefox start trying to curry the favor of large enterprises? By this, i mean, that maybe firefox could make a campaign to reach out to enterprise on how good FF could be for the enterprise...In essence try to win the hearts and minds of both IT admins and their senior leaders in the enterprise!?! (Instead of doing all manner of distractive efforts that may not be core to FF's web browser.)

Yes, i know there is the FireFox ESR edition which some enterporises use, and yes, this might mean that FF devs might need to build up some added features to specifically help enterprises better manage profiles for users, etc...but, at least, Mozilla won;t be trying to shove things like Edge down users' throats. At the very least it would help diverse things if more Windows OS installations at large enterprises were a healthy mix of Chrom, Edge, and Firefox...

I think it's more than just shifting users from thinking in windows to thinking in spaces - the problem is fundamentally that spaces don't fill the use-case of a separate window. A space is a permanent place for a collection of tabs, I think they even enable separate logins. To "destroy" a space requires the user going through a series of actions (right click > delete space > confirm deletion).

I use windows as a temporary collection of related things. If I'm researching a purchasing decision, for instance, I'll have a tab with the Amazon listing and a bunch of tabs containing information/reviews about the item. But I only need that for a couple hours, then I want to easily dump everything by closing that window. And I want to be able to easily find just my research info by scanning my open windows. Spaces are too permanent for that use case.

Another way to say that is that Spaces need their own windows sometimes, too, and Arc deals with that scenario way worse than a traditional browser. They need some "in-between" solution if they don't want users needing multiple windows, or they need to handle multiple windows better.
The "portable" language that doesn't run on FreeBSD, Solaris, AIX, etc.?
Maybe, but you'd first have to know if the glass is nucleated to know if it was the glass producing the chain or the drink.

The nucleated classes have tiny ridges on the bottom of the glass which causes the CO2 to come out of suspension and leave a chain of bubbles coming from the same spot. I have some nucleated cider glasses. It's pretty cool to watch.

> Put simply, nucleated glasses contain markings on the base (that are very often branded) to aid in nucleation. These markings are actually tiny pits known as points of nucleation. Due to their shape, these points cause gas within drinks to be released with greater ease. As a result, carbonated drinks produce more bubbles and the taste and aroma of drinks are amplified. All manner of drinks can benefit from a nucleated glass.

>> I can't wait to get a 500 KWH battery backup

At first it sounded amazing but then when gazing at this number it struck me suddenly - isn't this like an energetic equivalent of 0,5 ton of TNT ?

So if I rephraze this statement to "I cannot wait when I will be able to store half a ton of TNT in my garage" this whole premise starts to sound less and less appealing.

(especially since there was a electric scooter battery explosion in flat near me which killed someone)
It seems kinda obvious why a human rights organization isn't signing up for your "but is it really so bad if we ignore the human rights of people we say are criminals? What's a little torture if its criminals?" line, but instead calls out human rights violations.
"When you look back on every decade in tech, there's one thing that really dominated. I think the Internet Computer will be the one this next decade." - Chris Dixon

Reading intel ark, it seem to me that the AX210 is a fully fledged device that can be used with every SoC [0] while the AX201 relies on CNVi [1].

So both can be true at the same time: your AX210 works fine with the i7-2600, while the AX201 would not.

VSCode runs well on host and just uses SSH to have a remote Dev env in the Linux VM. At this point, a MS advocate might argue that we don't even need vscode to run on Linux at all.

More tools in the field is great! I tried a few things, and it's reasonable, but it does have some quirks that seem to repeat, like:

I tried a prompt of:

# python function that returns a random integer between min and max

And it produced:

def random_int(min, max):
return random.randint(min, max)

# define the size of the grid
n = 5

It doesn't add the needed import statement, and I'm unclear why it's "defining the size of the grid".

Don't trust LLMs.
I took a class on programming languages from Douglas Maurer, who had written a book on SNOBOL. It was out of print, which saved a few dollars for the students, since he provided photocopies. SNOBOL did not look especially practical, but the built-in pattern matching made Awk and Perl that much easier to learn.

(Maurer also composes or composed music. His madrigal "Forty Bucks" set to music the text of a Montgomery County, Maryland, photo enforcement ticket.)

I can barely keep up with this stuff, but quick question. Is there a way to simply change the URL setting of copilot to point to this model? Obviously it needs an endpoint, I could hack something up, but asking if somebody has already done this? Would be nice to cancel my copilot.
The figure is clear. There is NOTHING even comes close to replace $ in terms of volume. Remeber, also took US Dollar a long time to replace the Pound as the reserve currency.

Whenever country like Japan stops using dollar to settle oil purchase, it is another step. With currently development around the multi-polar world, it is likely not one single currency, rather several regional block reserve currencies will arise to replace the Dollar.
Sorry, I must have missed the rest of your prior comment (or posted before you made an edit to it?)

LLMs are not able to create new knowledge, only organize existing knowledge. Critically, we don't use induction to create new knowledge - but induction is all these LLMs can do. (e.g. To explain the origin of the universe, there is nothing we can induce, as the big bang is not observable.)

I don't see how training these AI models more will cause this property to emerge. But knowledge creation is the thing that we want when we say we want AGI.

The reason I describe AGI as such is because we only have one example of what an AGI is, namely humans. A popular idea is that machine AGI will look very different from human AGI (e.g. no consciousness or intrinsic motivation or qualia).

But this is a bold claim. It contends that there are multiple kinds of general intelligences vs some universal kind. Other universal concepts don't look like this. Consider the universality of computation: a computer is either Turing-complete or it isn't. There is no other kind of general purpose computer.

Once we created a Turing-complete computer, it could perform all conceivable computation. This is the power of universality. The first Turing-complete computer could technically play Call of Duty (though no one would have had the patience to play it).

It's not like there is some mode of ChatGPT that will produce AGI-level responses if given months or years of time to compute it.

Fundamentally, its ability to do whatever it is that AGIs do (AGI's version of Turing computation) is missing.

> One thing they all emphasise is that success often comes from finding a problem that you yourself would pay money to solve.

This is BS. Most businesses come from finding out what problems other people would pay to solve. Or finding a way to make a solution to a problem that people already pay to solve cheaper or easier. Asking yourself the question only works if you're lucky and have a common problem that many other potentially paying customers have. And if you're one of those people who doesn't like paying for things, odds are any problem you have is going to be one that disproportionately belongs to other people who don't like paying for things, and thus is not a good business opportunity.
AFAIK, the only single purpose one can ever achieve with an estimation is to do ROI analysis and make a go/don't go decision about a project. Any other goal won't be achieved.

With that in mind, it's perfectly natural for projects that need an estimation to be cancelled. Even if the ROI is positive, it has opportunity costs against other ones with a case clear enough that nobody needs the data for a decision.

It absolutely is a US tld, run by a US corporation.

DNS was originally a DARPA project, and was implicitly US focused from the very beginning of the internet, because it was a US project. ".com" carries that legacy because it predates the concept of country-specific TLD's.

A similar idea exists in reddit: /r/news is very US-focused, even though it's not called "US news". Since Reddit is an American site with an (at least initially) predominantly American audience, it's not surprising at all that things are American-biased by default unless explicitly named accordingly.

If we were all using Minitel instead of The Internet, we would have similar bias where services would be biased towards France unless shown otherwise, because Minitel was a French technology.

The point is, it's not explicitly a problem that somebody puts up a website and it's US-centric. Nobody owes the world an international version of whatever project they want to make, and you don't need to get upset that they only bother to cater to a US audience.
This makes a lot of sense, I was just waiting for their acquisition of Xilinx to materialize in their consumer products in some way. This seems a great way to unlock e.g. some ML potential. The possibilities seem endless.
I don’t understand how this could work actually. From a couple of photos on the social media you can likely recover the 3d geometry of the face. From that, if the signing algorithm is known, you should be able to replicate these passkeys.

If the algorithm is not known, it’s only a matter of time it’d be leaked or reverse engineered. And then suddenly there’d be a massive, difficult to fix security breach. Just like the breaches that we have now, with voice based authentication.

Can someone explain, how this can be mitigated?

a couple possibilities off the top of my head, starting with actually working with other vendors, so it's not only them making them. Work on the whole supply chain - including recycling - for these things. do a "buy one give one" type deal to seed the hardware more widely. write a bunch of software for the device so there's even more of a draw to get one of these. develop an ARM board. All of these projects are non-trivial but until they have the sales to support the kind of staying that would require, they'll need more capital first. Know any VCs?

just dumping the specs on the website isn't enough. they need to to actually talk to other vendors and get them involved with the project, and figure out the right financial incentives for them, which won't be easy.

I really dislike your tone, I have to say, calling me naive in this comment, with your last one being condescending and making assumptions. Isn't HN meant to be better than that?

That aside, so your main complaint is people can't invest in coops? There is nothing limiting coops growth except the fact that the members are not trying to become global monopolies. And even if there were some limitation, the context of this discussion is some kind of improvement or alternative to the current system we have today. There is no reason what constitutes a coop could not be refined to eliminate any limitations.

Also, you vaguely claim 'the literature' supports what you are saying without naming anything specific, and I can do the same - there is plenty of literature arguing explicitly in favor of coops, addressing any of the things you claim as issues.

This bit really resonates with how I feel about how fast and non-substantive the ridiculous hype cycles have been the last 3-4 years:

"It has always struck me that the rush to define the next chapter of the Internet (“Metaverse! Web3! AI! Oh my!”) has been driven by tech elites’ hunger to turn the page on the techlash years. They want to go back to being judged based on their ambitions, rather than their results."
Yup, that's very possible; when I do manual color inversion I usually fill a layer with the film base color, and use the "subtract" blend mode to account for it, else I get much "cooler" colors not unlike what is shown in the demo movie.
