"Exclusive Lifetime Offer £69.99"

Lifetime could be 6 months, could be 6 years. The latter is probably impossible and a rebrand could nullify it.

Be honest about what 'lifetime' actually means, write it into a binding contract (yeah, 'binding' is difficult) and I might consider it.
Non musical outsider here. Ive heard this kind of claim before, that older typeset documents just have a look about them that is better. IIRC Knuth said it about old mathematical texts, and I vaguely recall the creators of GNU Lilypond writing it about sheet music.

Can you comment on what good sheet music typesetting looks like, or is it something intangible that you just "know it when you see it"?
> Also remove features that make easy fingerprinting possible

Is this (reasonably) possible? If you ever do a graphics project you'll find that it is pretty difficult to get a pixel perfect render. Hence canvas fingerprinting[0]. (same happens for text rendering)

The problem can come down to the silicon lottery as well as the browser[1]. If you render the same code on two different machines, with the same compiler and libraries, you won't get pixel perfect difference. And GPUs don't match CPUs, though can if you edit the FMA instructions. Usually the best way to ensure images are exactly the same is to compare between Macs because the hardware is very similar and similarly binned. So Macs tend to have lower fingerprints in general (to the best of my knowledge) Current canvas blockers tend to just return a value, but that can obviously be a fingerprint itself.

So my question is if this is reasonably solved? I don't see it by being just the browser unless they can specifically just block a lot of that tracking. Which may require a big actor like Google or Apple to make a stand.

(Note: not an expert, but have done a decent amount of visualization work)

I'm still impressed by 64 core Genoa. It is 1.7x the total performance (cores * clock rate * IPC) compared to 64 core Milan in the table presented. That's not even two years apart.

I know the die sizes didn't decrease much, around 10% or so. And R&D increase is surely surpassing inflation.
A more extreme version of that is “permacomputing”—https://permacomputing.net/projects/

I still regularly use old systems for fun. I grew up with Macs, so that’s the point of reference. When I use these old systems, I pine for a few specific things I’m used to on newer systems—but it almost feels like nitpicking.

The things that I really want from a computer are pretty basic. Like good, consistent copy/paste and drag ’n’ drop, good autosave, good file browser, that sort of thing. It seems like new, half-baked stuff got dropped in our laps before the basics really got perfected.

Great for consumers, not so great for artists. Spotify and most other platforms are MITM attacks, they just hit social technology rather than silicon. There are whole books that describe and lionize the process of platform construction and preventing the establishment of direct communication between producer and consumer.

Entrepreneur literally means 'bringer between' which describes the traditional mode of trade perfectly - I prefer to go to a farmer's market and buy 10 different kinds of food there than visit 10 individual farms. But as entrepreneurship moves toward exclusive distribution agreements and other contractual infrastructure, it devolves into rent-seeking.

I'm assuming it's semantics at this point. To me, a meeting can be "secret" if the topics and participants are, in fact, secret.
Yeah, the wording in the explanation was particular suspect:

> Polarized or polarizable objects are attracted to strong electric fields

Polarizable objects align in an E field, they aren't attracted to the E field. I don't doubt you could contrive a field to move a polarized object, but the wording seems to be confusing an ionized object with a polarized object.
> They are awful as keys – being strings, comparisons are dramatically slower than with integers. And even if your database has a UUID type, it’s still worse because the identifier doesn’t fit into a machine word.

I’m just a bit confused, a UUID is made up of hexadecimal digits, so why would it be stored as a string? It’s also 128 bits long, so it should fit into two words, excluding whatever overhead the DBMS puts on the data type, which is really their problem to worry about.
Both a sensible business move and the right thing to do. If they could magically roll up the entirety of WDW and relocate it elsewhere I suspect they would.

> Is my knee-jerk judgement that this advice borders on nonsense, unwarranted?

No, the advice is nonsense. URIs in what scheme?

I mean, since URN has a URI scheme and UUID is a URN namespace, so urn:uuid:<uuid-value> is a URI, “use a URI” is not really a mutual-exclusive alternative to using UUID, its just much less specific.

I get that humans would rather have the carrot than the stick. However, there are arguably a lot of positive benefits that result from making cars a more inconvenient choice. For example, one design choice that makes cars convenient is that towns and cities in the U.S.A often prioritize parking lots. Parking lots take up a lot of valuable space. If we used that space for something else (housing, a restaurant, a park, a museum, office space, anything really), then it becomes much less convenient for cars to be in the area, but more attractive for people who do not depend on a car. If that happens at scale in area, you also get other nice benefits like less air pollution, less noise pollution, fewer traffic accidents, etc.

Isn't the string comparison claim also wrong?

Although plenty of UUIDs are passed as strings in eg JSON, I was under the impression that where performance really matters (like db indexes) they were stored and compared as 128 bit fields. To be fair, the points about word sizes and ordering make sense.
> Note: this is only correct about UUID version 1. However, it is what most applications use.

Okay, so, not all UUIDs, just v1. And, for some anecdata, I've actually only interacted with UUID v4 in my entire career; I don't know what the actual norm is, but I'm surprised to hear that it might still be v1.

> The only other practical option is version 4 – the random UUID – but random is intuitively worse, right? Read on to find out.

Oh… how is it worse?

> * They are awful as keys – being strings, comparisons are dramatically slower than with integers. And even if your database has a UUID type, it’s still worse because the identifier doesn’t fit into a machine word.

> * They are excessively long – each character of a UUID only encodes 3.5 bits of information if you count the dashes. That’s twice as less compared to 6 bits of Base64.

Sorry, UUIDs are not strings, they're 128-bit integers. They have a standardized string representation, but if you're storing a UUID as a string, you're either being required to because your language/db/tools/etc. don't support UUIDs correctly, or you're doing it wrong.

> * They are not time-ordered – despite containing a timestamp, its bits are mixed up within the UUID: the top bytes of the UUID contain the bottom bytes of the timestamp. Databases do not like an unordered primary key – it means that freshly inserted rows can go anywhere in the index. And you can’t use UUIDs for ad-hoc time sorting by time, either.

This is definitely a drawback when using a UUID as a primary key, and there are alternatives for this specific use-case. However, I think the best solution I've seen to this is to use a typical 64-bit integer for the primary key, but a UUID for a user-visible ID (so that you don't leak information about the primary keys to users); this makes joins and indexes fast, but avoids the leak to the end-user.

> * They are bad for human comprehension – UUIDs tend to look alike, and it’s hard to visually seek and compare them. This comes from experience.

This is exactly why they shouldn't be used as an Id anywhere that a human needs to interact with one. In the above solution I mentioned, the most common ID for which you'd want to use a UUID is the user's id—the user specifically has no reason to ever refer to their or anyone else's id; they'll use the human-readable username/handle equivalent instead. And developers don't need to care about UUIDs ever because inside the db, you'd have the integer primary key that you use for joins. This seems to solve all the problems?

> I kindly suggest that UUIDs are never the right answer.

Honestly, I think you've only convinced me that UUID v1 is never the right answer… and I think that's mostly been true since v4 came about.

All the best,

I came across a great John Dewey quote recently that seems relevant here:

"We may insist that a man needs tact as well as scholarship, or let us say sympathy with human interests... Lack of reverence for the things that mean much to humanity, joined with a craving for public notoriety, may induce a man to pose as a martyr to truth when in reality he is a victim of his own lack of mental and moral poise."

It's a good thing to push back on people being assholes, mostly because it'd suck to live in a world where people feel like their being an asshole is a signal of their intelligence and superiority. It's not. It's a cost they inflict on themselves and others. Sometime it's worth it for both interlocutors to put up with an asshole, but in those scenarios you don't need someone chiming in that "being an asshole isn't being an asshole."
How do you know it's actually conducting the proofs and not that the proofs and related data were already part of the dataset?

It will link you to websites that don't exist, or papers that are completely wrong. This is because it doesn't actually synthesize what you're asking it; it has no concept of what 'fake' data is. It simply does what you ask. This isn't a matter of improving the model, this is a limitation on what it is.

There are a few separate issues here:

1) photos permission includes access to full file for each photo, including geotagged metadata and any audio from "live photo"

This seems desirable and working as expected. You might legitimately want to share the live photo, or the photo with metadata. However, it would be nice if the photo picker asked you whether you wanted to share with metadata. (Note: unlike the photo picker in native apps, the Safari file picker, ie the HTML5 <input type="file" />, does strip EXIF data by default.)

2) it's easy to take a live photo without realizing it, and similarly easy to share it

This could be improved when selecting photos within the photo picker. There should be an option to separately select the static or full file (maybe with a long press).

2) granting access to "all photos" doesn't alert you when an app accesses a photo without you selecting it for some reason

This used to be much worse, when the default and only option was to grant access to all photos, or no photos. Ever since Apple added the option to select which photos an app can access, I think this is less of a problem. But there is an education issue; people don't realize that "all" means the app can truly read all your photos, including geotagged metadata and audio of live photos, even without you selecting one to "upload" (or "do something with," depending on the purpose of the app). Even as a relative expert, I never understood this until I saw a demo app (to prove the privacy issue) that looped through all your photos and displayed your geotagged locations.

But even if people did realize this, there is no indication that an app has accessed a photo, like there is with the icon indicating the microphone or camera was used recently. Perhaps a solution to this could be changing the photo picker to overlay a green dot on any photo the app has accessed.

It actually could be benefited from improved performance, for instance the introduction of the sky and the depth was only possible because of performance improvements from Switch (note that BotW's target platform was Wii U, so Nintendo intentionally limited the game's scope to the overworld).

I think a sparsity of sky islands could be partially attributed to performance issues. Those need to be visible from almost everywhere, so cannot be really culled out from the drawing pipeline. Even with aggressive LoD, this will take a considerable performance budget if you put hundreds of islands given a high level of drawing distance requirement in TotK.

I also noticed that TotK has lots of unusually aggressive performance optimization which seems to be done at the very last moment, and even with that a considerable level of frame drops on specific areas. I suspect this to be likely due to the reported delay of the Switch successor. They would still launch it on Switch with possibly worse visual fidelity but that would be fine if they got the successor at the launch time.

So yeah "how to use it" is what really matters, but having more performance budget can allow more freedom for developers. It's a really nice time to have the successor platform for Switch, possibly with backward compatibility.

Considering they have hundreds of employees who are literally experts in using GPT-4, including evaluating it's code output, I think it's fair to expect they could produce an 'industrial scale indestructible' android app simultaneously with the iOS app.

Especially considering GPT-4 was, allegedly, complete by August 2022. If it doesn't even enable 2x or 3x the output after a half year of familiarization then I think it's a lot harder to use for businesses then commonly suggested.

You still want a cheap mobile plan, so it's not technically cheaper until you have 4 people.

But that's comparing fiber to 10Mbps cellular, and even with 2 people the fiber is dramatically faster and only €20 more expensive. If you can live with 10Mbps then there is presumably some broadband option at no worse than that speed for less than €30 and then you're already ahead with 2 people.

And most people aren't going to be happy with speeds that low, but then you'd be paying more for each cellular plan.
>it would seem "things that mimic human high level processes" would be a good candidate.

That's the natural intuition yes. But I believe Sutton's point is that this very intuition seems to prove itself wrong in the long term.

The way I see it, the problem with the high level is that we don't actually know shit. If we knew so completely what it took to model language or vision in the first place, we wouldn't need deep learning at all.

It seems intuitive that trying to bake in some basic grammar rules might speed things up along.

Problem with that is that we often end up overfitting the models to those specific rules and constraints, limiting its ability to generalize and learn more complex and underlying patterns and structures in language. Patterns that we don't actually know of.

The low level processes result in the high level performance but not vice versa.

It's said that the one human neuron is equivalent to a CNN. I wouldn't really call the operations of neurons high level though.
