Is github being down a problem because of source control related things or because of actions/workflows associated with commits?
I think most Canadians will agree that the country is fucked. It just can't grow fast enough with the right kind of immigration. It currently doesn't have the kind of infra to support the amount of people it needs. Everything is out of wack and will only get worse. I was discussing the scenario where it could merge with the US but realized very quickly that that scenario would probably be to much of a burden financially for the US to absorb. The country is just to big and to old (population). They just waited to long to grow and now it's too late. Perhaps climate change and global warming will be able to flood it with millions but that is not a good scenario either. So like I said, it's fucked and nothing will really save it long term (100 years or so).
"massive" is a subjective term. That statement cannot be a 'fact'. Besides, you could apply the same sentiment, as it relates to 'fraud' and 'room for crime', to the Internet in general.
> Setting aside comparisons to humans for a second (will get back to this), monocular cameras can only provide relative depth. You can guess the absolute depth with your neural net but the estimates are pretty garbage.

Stereoscopic vision in humans only works for nearby objects. The divergence for far away objects is not sufficient for this. You may think you can tell something is 50 or 55 meters away through stereoscopic vision, but you can't. That's your brain estimating based on effectively a single image.

That said reality is not a single image, it's a moving image, a video. Monocular video can still be used to estimate object distance in motion.

Eventually AI will be good enough to work better than humans with just a camera. The problem is we're not there yet, and what Tesla is doing is irresponsible. They should've added LIDAR and used that to train their camera-only models, until they're ready to take over.
> I took touch typing in High School, back in the 1980's. Even back then I knew I was going to be doing a lot of work with computers so it made sense to take it. It turned out to be the most useful class I ever took in school by a wide margin since I've used that skill all day every day for 35 years.

Same. It's like the one high school class I use every single day. Do they even offer typing in high school anymore?
Yes, instead of holding a fairly small screen that is very light and fits in my pocket, I can have the "convenience" of strapping some fucking huge goggles to my head so I can enjoy that sweet motion sickness. All for the convenient price of 3.5 grand.

I just don't think this is DoA because Apple fans buy any crap Apple releases, no matter the price. It will become a nice iPaperweight though.
Not quite sure how that relates to private rule making, i.e., no politicians involved
Comparison is not fair, game porting toolkit also does X86 -> ARM, so it's missing perf on lot of HW intrinsics

Also this is the 1st gen M1, which was released in 2020, I wonder what's the performance like on the newest models?
> how does this project compare to differential dataflow?

I may ask a stupid question, but from reading the description on the page you linked, how are timely and differential dataflow different from implementation details of 80s reactive programming such as SIGNAL (https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/97301) ?

> Differential dataflow programs look like many standard "big data" computations, borrowing idioms from frameworks like MapReduce and SQL. However, once you write and run your program, you can change the data inputs to the computation, and differential dataflow will promptly show you the corresponding changes in its output. Promptly meaning in as little as milliseconds.
Tesla's Model 3 cheaper than Toyota's Camry in California with tax benefits
My sister is a musician, and when she flies, she buys a seat for her instrument. She says that the airline invariably tries to sell the seat her instrument is in and check the instrument[1]. She also gets bumped to a later flight regularly because bumping one person is cheaper for the airline than bumping two people.

1: At first she got kicked off of airplanes for refusing to gate-check her instrument, even when she had a ticket for it. Switching tactics to "Give me something in writing that it is insured by the airline for $XX XXX" and you can have it fixed that problem because she wasn't saying "no" anymore.

> What's surprising is that with all these resources made available to the world, we still have systems that allow hoarding of wealth to such a degree that most people can't afford to own a home and many can barely afford rent and food.

1. Why is that surprising? That has been a natural state of human societies from the beginning of civilization. What would be really surprising is if things changed.

2. Roughly two thirds of Americans own a home. That stands in contradiction with your claim that most Americans cannot afford to own a home.
My theory reverses your theory's cause and effect: King was a reverse merger that was very nearly a takeover of Activision Blizzard at the time. Zynga was thought to be the same for Take-Two (which at the time was particularly bloodied by bankruptcy-related issues and in a position to be eaten). The EA and Popcap merger is another one that was questionably a reverse merger/near takeover, especially in the way it shook up the executive board at the time. (I forgot about Popcap in the above summary because as a brand to themselves they've quietly sort of disappeared from modern mobile trends, but their logo still often shows up in EA presentations.)

In general, "lowly" mobile gaming still has more active players spending more real-world money at any given time. It's very hard not looking at the bottom lines of some of these companies, especially today's weird Activision Blizzard and not see "the tail wagging the dog" and mobile games effectively sponsoring and/or subsidizing development costs on every other form factor of videogame. The biggest exceptions seem to be Sony and Microsoft themselves, and Microsoft dabbled in mobile gaming over the years, has a big mobile gaming contractor in Arkadium (using the Microsoft brand for Solitaire and Minesweeper, among others, and generating some revenue), and does own one of the largest mobile games of all time (Minecraft) though people often don't think of it as such.

I think it also shows up in executive leadership and how F2P microtransactions hell has been infesting "AAA" and "AA" PC/console development for years now.

From my outside perspective of the industry: "Mobile games" won. PC/console games are the weird, "too expensive" afterthought for most of the videogame industry, subsidized by and beholden to the mobile games. The "gamer culture" that doesn't see most of the mobile games space as interesting or important and doesn't see mobile game players as "gamers" (or worse sees them only as "filthy casuals") is the minority out of touch with market realities.

Admittedly, that's a somewhat extreme perspective and there are plenty of exceptions and gray area and further complications. But whether or not you agree with that perspective, my earlier point remains that overall mobile games and PC/console games are inextricably linked by market forces and treating them as separate markets, and especially treating the mobile games market as somehow inferior, misses a lot of the forest.

(That [currently] Cold War between Apple and Epic has very real stakes, including for PC/consoles, and isn't just a silly "mobile gaming" problem.)
Dvorak is also based on English spelling, and thus its benefits vanish almost everywhere in the world. There are other alternative layouts, having the same kind of marginal gain over the standard, but then it's not available everywhere, and if you're a developer, you may also want an easier access to braces and stuff, and from here your keyboard will basically work nowhere unless you buy some kind of custom hardware to do the translation.

And it also has the same problem to me as QWERTY, it makes numbers accessible while I don't care since most keyboards have a numpad (and to enter a number holding shift isn't hard) while for example it adds a significant amount of keystrokes to open and close a brace.
Human minds also tend to predict the next word. And we still don’t know how intelligent behavior and capability to model the world emerges in humans. It’s quite possible that it is also based on predicting what would happen next and on compressed storage of massive amounts of associative memory with attention mechanisms.
where are you getting this '99%' figure?
Plenty of people realized that eugenics was unacceptable who were in the scientific world then, just like plenty of people understood that slavery was wrong. Which doesn't take away from the fact that plenty of terrible policies came out because leaders did have those views. I don't know what left wing ideas you've seen that are wrong, I'm sure that I've seen some left wing ideas that are wrong. I'm more worried about what do the leaders and the effective speakers in groups promote. Saying that I'm making you more free by taking away your choice of library books, or your choice about medical care, that's not an extreme view that only 1% of people have. It's pretty much the consensus leadership view of Republicans.
>What's surprising is that with all these resources made available to the world, we still have systems that allow hoarding of wealth to such a degree that most people can't afford to own a home and many can barely afford rent and food.

My personal opinion is that this hasn't changed much because human psychology hasn't changed much. We are a status-driven species and, lacking other measures, we revert to the easily quantifiable: wealth, house size, education credentialism, etc. to derive our place.
Personally, I think 7.5% of all US assets is a HUGE amount of money and power.

And since you mention state machines: most of the handlers are done as state machines.

Plus the overall app state is done as a kind of reverse state machine where we derive the status from various app states. I would like to change this to not be backwards one day but it was too big of a lift to change everything at once!
> IIRC a number of cars, even Subaru, have better cameras than a Tesla

Are you saying this from datasheets, or looking at the camera images?

Tesla cameras aren't optimized for humans, their Bayer matrix is likely designed for day and night machine vision including infrared, so the colors might look washed out to you. I heard at one point they were using RCCC and later moved to RCCB [1]. If I'm not mistaken C allows all light, including infrared. Cameras designed for human viewing are RGGB.

A man has a code.
It should be noted that Ilya Sutskever, judged purely as a philosopher of mind and neurologist, is a great machine learning engineer. I don't feel the need to pay any attention to what he says about LLMs being conscious, nor is there any particular reason to assume they are (even if we posit that LLMs are "intelligent", which I think is a category error, why should intelligence be related to consciousness?).
> Nope, there's no reasoning. It's just generating the text that best matches its training data.

There's no contradiction. You have to reason to predict the text well in many cases.
Seems very much like a science fiction story. I hate the whole AI debate, as it always seems to focus on some big "what if", but really the implications of AI running right now are already grave enough.

Targeted advertisment/content are good enough to do effective oppinion control onto large parts of a population. But who cares about that if matrix multiplications could become sentient...
Precisely my point, it’s not an issue of physics, it’s politics.
> Maybe it doesn’t bother you, but I assure you a lot of people care about this

I think you are right on both points: 1) It doesn't bother me 2) a lot of people care about this.

Everyone I know has part of their brain that rapidly recoils from criticism. That could be universal.

Training your mental muscles to instead be grateful for all feedback, no matter whether it is delivered kindly or poorly, is a good skill, IMO, if you care about the truth.

I think the word you should use is "impolite". I would never call someone who speaks a public truth "unethical". Impolite? Maybe (not in this case as I found their comments quite kind). But I prefer ethical people to polite people 10 times out of 10.

I highly doubt it. I've had a lot of exposure to Canada's up and coming generation and unless it interferes with their internet connection I really don't think they will do much of anything. Participation is for immigrants, who have nothing to lose and everything to gain and they too won't be acting against the vested interests. This is a very frustrating aspect of Canada and it took me a long time to get to terms with it, such potential and so little to show for it. It's quite frustrating.
Ditto. Spaniard here, so we have volumes and literal tons of history. But GNU/Linux and using 15yo old software which had years of geekeery and culture such as Emacs in y2k was magical. Code, math puzzles, a chatbot, fortune files, games like nethack (playing slashem and Tome2 was more fun than reading LOTR at 16)...

It was live history working in my hands and in a usable way after Euclid and Newton.

No need to buy hardware and materials to do technical stuff, a computer was enough. And not even a good one. My cwm+tmux setup would still work in a Pentium 2.
This headline is so far from accurate.

The bill is about preventing employers from forcing rank-and-file employees who have some other, non-security job from intervening in thefts.

This says nothing about whether employees are allowed to intervene, and definitely not about whether employers can hire specific security staff for this role.

What a clickbait title.
Is it possible to set up DKIM correctly with that arrangement so you don't get penalized by spam filters?
I don't see how arbitrary questions like this substantially show AGI. If there is a common solution, it could simply look up the solution. Also, AGI could be present just not in this very niche problem (that 99.9% of humans can't solve).
Ship the optimization framework in with the application, sample from the user data, and optimize for that? It isn’t overfitting if you overfit on the data you care about, right?
Yep. It is virtually always the power regulator that fails, rather than the LED itself. Lots of LED bulb and fixture manufacturers cheap out here. We could do better by running low voltage DC power in our homes, but even that isn’t a panacea.
"entirely rational" is subjective, how can it be a fact?
Yep, the progress will be slow but inexorable on this front.

Sooner or later we'll arrive at what I see as the optimum point for "AI", which is when I can put an ATX case in my basement with a few GPUs in it and run my own private open source GPT-6 (or whatever), without needing to get into bed with the lesser of two ShitCos, (edit: and while deriving actual utility from the installation). That's the milestone that will really get my attention.
There's another important part of this though, oil companies pay scientific researchers to publish views against the veracity of climate change, research and predictions. That's why they say it's science denialism because those people are making shoddy arguments. Disagreeing about whether you care about global climate change is not science denialism but making up things to say there's no science is denialism.
From "It can't Code" to publishing articles in Nature.
I think you mean "non-transformative", although in this context I can see there's a bit of an ambiguity in how people would use the word "transform" to mean one thing w.r.t copyright and the "opposite" for code (really, orthogonal, but boolean evaluation would yield the opposite true/false).

In copyright, "transformative" refers to modifying or adapting a copyrighted work in a way that creates a new and original expression; resulting in a new work with a different purpose or meaning.

In terms of code, you'd "just be transforming" the assembly code to a systems language of your choice.
I can't find it in a quick 2 minute search, but I seem to recall a study that concluded that people who thought they were unaffected by advertising were actually MORE susceptible. Which makes a sort of intuitive sense. If someone is aware they can be manipulated they can make a conscious effort to counteract it. Someone who assumes they are immune won't.
It seems they are the ones who want to avoid criticism.
Yes, it was true for WebP for like a decade. One of the many issues WebP had. Isn't it good to learn from the mistake of WebP, rather than repeat it?

(AVIF was not supported by all browsers on day 1, obviously, but all the major browsers were governing members of the foundation developing it. So it was much more clear that the backing was there across the ecosystem.)
I think that they are providing it with tools to answer certain questions; it will get the right answers... but it won't know how.
The frontend dev experience in particular is so heavily abstracted these days that it’s no surprise that the rest of the stack is ‘out of sight, out of mind’. You spend most of your time in the browser and deployment is just a fire-and-forget CI integration (like with Vercel).

I’d expect more from backend and full-stack engineers since it becomes much more relevant then.
Wanting something and getting it aren't the same thing and it wouldn't be the first time that something like this gets enacted and then gets shut down again.

My main worry would be journalists, those are at some danger from stuff like this especially when they are protecting their sources. If this ever gets abused that's where I would expect it to happen.
I already forgot about this, it's really staggering the amount of churn and chaos in their app history.
I wonder what the fuel difference is between fighting the currents and generating electricity while staying in the same area VS just moving around
Do people really make the assumption that the QWERTY keyboard's layout is random? I'm GenX and I was taught the reason given in the video.
Precisely my point I don’t think a lot of people will go back. Even somebody like me who’s willing to put several hours into trying to see how both work won’t do that for every blog post about an “improvement”.

Bard was rushed, and it shows. You only get one chance to make the first impression and they blew it.
We should call it the Turing Police.
> Back in the prehistoric era a person would have to gather, chop and burn wood for roughly 10 hours a day for six days straight in order to produce the equivalent light of a modern lightbulb shining for about an hour.

This feels like a very odd comparison/metric. It doesn't really matter how many lumens/watts it has, I think a better metric is "How much does it take to 'comfortably' light a single room for 1 hour". Surely the amount of wood that would take is not the amount needed from chopping for 10 hours a day/six days straight. Even more than that, I am really suspicious of these numbers. 60 hours worth of wood chopping would give me a giant inferno bonfire that would last much more than an hour, so how was this comparison done?

The fact that modern technology is so relatively cheap means that we can afford to waste it or use it to unnecessary extremes, but that doesn't mean we should really use that as the base measure of comparison. I of course understand the overall point the article is trying to make, but the attempt at quantifying the numbers feels like comparing apples to oranges.
Thanks for making the retry logic as it's own library! I would have thought crdb would have it's own logic for when a node is draining but nice to be able to handle that on the client side.
The "fake" arrow keys are nice so you don't have to move your hands. They are pretty decently placed in dvorak though, so it's no issue.

Oh right, you need the leading zeroes won't get printed; need a formatting string with a specific width for that. I don't do much Python so I don't recall the exact syntax off-hand, but the point was: there is an obvious way to compact the number that can be done without any analysis of the number itself (or even looking at it, for that matter).

While print(literal) is "cheating" if you ask for "create a program that generates ...", it is a very obvious thing to do if you want to go down that route.
I think OP (the one you're replying to) was being sarcastic - by it's very nature, there's no way at all to verify any of this. Some government bureaucracy publishes some list of hashes that you're supposed to validate against and remove anything that matches - but you and I have no way of knowing or ever checking what those hashes match to. If somebody up there had an ax to grind against, say, Alex Jones, they could add all his stuff to the "auto-remove-this" database and nobody would ever know.
Sounds like the JVMs recompilation of hor paths to me.
Yeah... it bugs me that this is so often framed as some kind of combat over veganism. We could do so much good just by cutting our meat consumption in half -- a thing which for practically all Americans would be an improvement in health, without touching a drop of tofu. Few Americans are protein deficient. Many get too many calories and not enough fiber and other vegetable-based micronutrients.

Chinese cuisines often combine tofu with small quantities of meat and meat broths for flavor. It's delicious, and you can completely sidestep usually-misinformed arguments about veganism.
#2 changes a lot when you consider that roughly 70% of US household debt is mortgage debt [1] and that the price of a home is much higher (on a relative basis) than it used to be.* That is to say, most Americans have a mortgage but don't really own a home. There's a maybe subtle but important difference between saying "most Americans own a home" and "the system now allows more Americans to take out debt to mortgage a home." If you disagree, consider if you would consider circumstances no different if we created a novel debt system for people to leverage their purchase of food while food prices increase by multiples; they may even be able to get more food than previously, they just carry disproportionate debt on it.

* I think this also needs to be put in the context of houses are also bigger than they used to be, but there is also a higher percentage of two-income households.

Interestingly though, improved Bard isn't...
Only in idealized markets and even there where consumer demand is elastic. For inelastic products industries raising their prices in unison can all see greater profits because the changes in demand are outweighed by the increase in profits. So much of what we learn of markets are idealized games to make sense of extremely complex emergent systems made of people.
I think the opposite. Even the lack of controllers is a downside for the apple vision. Controllers allow for multiple simultaneous modes of complex inputs that gestures don't and don't rely on being in the view of a camera. Making controllers optional for activities that don't need complex inputs would have been better.
