> No virtual objects, no 3d anything

Presumably this will be a thing since they support on the iPhone and tries making a pretty big deal from by showing virtual legos and other stuff in a keynote a year or two ago.

The ARKit seems to have been designed for this thing since it wasn’t ever a very good experience on the iPhone.

TIFF can be used as a container. It also comes with its own (relatively shitty) compression methods which is probably what you'd end up using if you wanted 16-bit TIFFs today.

And TIFF as a container for JXL would no less require JXL adoption than plain JXL.
If someone invented a new thing that was possibly but not definitely a drug requiring FDA approval, and the FDA refused to make an explicit judgement on it for years as it grew to a huge industry, then eventually brought down the hammer, that would be a bad process. The courts may agree with the SEC that Coinbase sold unregistered securities, but they had the opportunity to clarify the law years ago, and Coinbase has been earnestly seeking clarification.
A lot of companies are indeed trying to build AI accelerator cards, but I would not necessarily call them ASICs in the narrow sense of the word, they are by necessity always quite programmable and flexible: NN workloads characteristics change much much faster than you can design and manufacture chips.

I would say they are more like GPUs or DSPs: programmable but optimised for a specific application domain, ML/AI workloads in this case. Sometimes people call this ASIPs: application specific instruction set processors. While maybe not a very commonly used term, it is technically more correct.

I don't think so? It's just reasonable to say "this doesn't look like it solves any of the already known issues with other products in this space". And I think it's weird to respond to that with "you have no idea until you use it!". We do have an idea, because this is not a new thing.

>Do you not suffer from how painfully boring reality and the default mode of consciousness are?

Maybe its just your default mode of consciousness that's boring.

Yesterday I had a dream where Elon Musk was making blow-up spaceships like balloons and I met Natalie Portman in a crowd of people and told her I hated Trainspotting, also there were Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles at some point but I don't remember why.

One time I had a dream that changed my entire view of reality where I experienced passing into the afterlife as if I were diving into a pool of water and the transition was like touching the surface of the water.

Even during the day time, my brain just produces stuff like this but it's 'behind my eyes', that's where my imagination goes. Sometimes I'll just decide I want the colors to melt, or objects to explode like glass, and I can just do that.
Are they safe from Apple shutting down your account? Seems like an all your eggs in one basket problem, with passwords I can back up and always retrieve them locally.
You're both right. Tesla doesn't make battery cells, they make battery packs. A battery pack is comprised of several battery cells, for example the Model Y has over 4,000 cells in its battery pack.
Indeed. Between roughly 1995-2000 it was the place to be. The hyper growth that followed post ~2002 brought in dilution in talent, benefits were cut (e.g. stock options were discontinued mid 2002) and the emergence of global companies opening India offices made it even less desirable.

There's a meme about Infosys' 3L/annum salary. Funnily that was exactly my starting salary there (post confirmation) in 2002.

Coinbase has actually sued them for failure to follow the law in this regard. The lawsuit is still open.
Yes, and those drivers licenses are obviously because cars are dangerous machines that can cause severe harm to someone if they are driven improperly. And the legal system surrounding it has penalties which are usually proportionate to the harm caused.

While low power transmitters, 100mW or so, are generally not dangerous, and thus should be deregulated in the VHF/UHF ham bands, so that the general public can use spectrum it legitimately owns. The "listen before talk" principle should be required by the regulations, and thus implemented in firmware. And even if misused and hacked to transmit on emergency frequencies, the harm a low power transmitter can cause is still limited.

In the end it comes down to if the industry and general public is a more powerful lobbyist than the amateur radio community, which is tiny by comparison. Who has more political power. And I think the general public might be the one with more political power here, and rightfully get to make the decision?

The radio spectrum is a shared space. In a democratic country, a small minority should not be dictating the rules for the majority here?
The overproduced site/video gives off strong crypto scam energy.

There’s a big INVEST NOW button with a very low dollar amount, and I like how they even threw in the line about being an immigrant from Ukraine as if to capitalize on current events.

I’m sure they’re not a “scam” though, just a poor investment.
I’ve been using Reddit for 14+ years and while the site has changed, mostly for the worse, in the past few years.

“It’s already turned into an echo-chamber of nonsense, ruled by all-powerful mods to whom every user is a racist transphobe nazi homophobe enemy.”

Moderators (excepting automod) are human, and like all of us they sometimes make mistakes, some may have biases or having a bad day. I have not seen what you are describing.
But again, "meaningful?" These threats seem mostly imaginary. This feels like a bunch of hardcore locks and keys between the rooms inside my house.

We don't know exactly what communications SEC and Coinbase have had over the years.

We do know Coinbase hired lots of very expensive lawyers to handle that relationship, so this wasn't exactly a surprise to the company. They've been stalling and preparing for years.
Yeah, but it was their best option. If they got lucky or bribed the right people they could have got their assets listed as non securities due to a technicality.
> I have never been accused of being a racist transphobe whatever, if that’s your number one issue with the site maybe some inward reflection is in order

Perhaps you simply haven't encountered the kind of person who, at the vaguest sense of an opportunity to claim the title of Most Moral Person, will leap up to condescend you based on the most uncharitable and motivated reading of your words.
I know that while in voice chat with people, I would have moments where I would have a bunch of thoughts, completely forget what just happened, and only a couple seconds of real-world time had passed.

Sounds identical to me on a bad ADHD day.
I played around a lot with VR180 when it came out. The experience is incredibly, almost uncomfortably intimate for personal videos. I felt so awkward watching demos of other peoples “blow out the birthday candles” moments. However, the fact that it was uncomfortable means that the technology itself is very good, otherwise it couldn’t produce such and emotional experience.

On the tech side, I’m just guessing, but it looks like Apple has an even better version of VR189. A 6dof version of VR180 seems entirely plausible for Apple to pull off with NeRFs and would be even more incredible.

Again, I agree that it’s a bit weird for personal memories, both on the recording side (possibly awkward to wear goggles in those situations) and even watching personal memories.

However, I’d expect Apple to make recording spatial videos possible w iPhone/iPad, which at least fixes the awkward recording issue.

Even with that possibility, I think Apple hurt themselves using this “personal memory spatial video” example.

For me, the far better use cases are for entertainment. Professional, live (and recorded) spatial video will be huge. Everyone can have front row, court side, or even birds-eye views of all forms of in-person entertainment. Sports, plays, comedy, concerts, orchestras. The experience of watching it is so intimate experientially I think it will be amazing. Looks like the tech to make it happen is finally here. Imagine them owning “the App Store” for spatial video pay-per-view…

Excited to see where this goes!
They aren't both admissions. (a) is saying the context of the statement makes it clear they were saying it was untrue at the time. This happens all the time in, for instance, libel cases, where your attorney will have to submit court papers that include the words, in order, something like "freejazz kills puppies". Obviously, the rest of the sentence or paragraph makes it clear they were quoting someone.

You're right they cannot ex post facto just be like "we were joking". They would be "you're talking the quotes out of context".

And (b) can be future looking. But "temporary and mitigated" is probably a great way to go into these hearings. Maybe not according to the letter of the law, but in general it tends to work out well for the people involved. Since most agencies issue punishments to influence future behavior.

Does anyone know if the core ("DM&P Ali M6117") is derived from one of the Intel licensees like Via, or if the patents have expired (mostly likely I guess), or it Intel just don't care?
Yea, the point about the same people changing their opinions was quite interesting so I mostly pointed out the lack of citation since I though that the article might misrepresent the paper and I wanted to verify it. And now that I am reading it, I find it is nicely nuanced and really well written. I was wondering why exactly I was suspicious about the original article and now I see that my problem is the tone. The article starts with "Helplessness Is Not Learned" and claims that it has been "debunked" where the paper keeps the phrase "learned helplessness" as a well documented fact and adjusts the mechanism behind the phenomena, which is much more reasonable.
The fact that they have been asked, point blank, by congress, "is ETH a security?" and the SEC wouldn't answer is pretty fair for claiming "not perfectly clear."

Even here, it wasn't all of ETH that is under question. So, if you have bought some ETH from coinbase, it isn't under fire here. If you paid them to stake your ETH, it is. It is unclear, to me, what it would mean for any ETH you staked personally.
Don’t dismiss it just yet, all it takes is a retopo with a 3D artist and you have something game ready.
The Howey test sets out four points:

* An investment of money - check (into the staking pool)

* In a common enterprise - check (the staking pool)

* With the expectation of profit - check (obviously)

* To be derived from the efforts of others - check (the manager of the pool)

It's a security.
Would you offer a way to jailbreak devices so they don't become e-waste?
And Coinbase has sued the SEC for failing to follow this "properly passed legislation."
So, Coinbase wanted to convince the SEC they are not a securotoes exchange. The SEC didn't buy it. Instead of going forward and properly register, Coinbase choose to continue operating under their own interpretation of the law. Now the SEC sued, tool them long enough, and we will find out who of those two is right.

If I had any money with Coinbase or Binance, I pull it out ASAP.
Apple Game Porting Toolkit
Apple seems to be bundling Wine and a D3D12 translation layer(?) to help game devs bring their titles to macOS. Seems like quite an interesting development to me.
> but that porn drives consumer adoption of new tech

sure. where's the evidence? anything that can serve video can serve porn. where's evidence that porn in particular is somehow unique? YouTube for example as more active users than all porn sites combined, yet porn is not even available on YouTube.

being able to play videos in XR I think will be a real use-case, but this idea that porn in particular is the real usecase is probably wrong, imho. this is not to say that people won't use it for that.

As someone who now occasionally suffers panic attacks due to psychedelic use, I agree: people downplay the risks because it suits their personal narrative and experience. Perhaps as a pushback against years of over-exaggeration re: risks, per another poster, but nevertheless a definite under emphasis on the dangers these drugs pose.
> So?

The issue is that we lose a forum for clearly examining and correcting our own beliefs, be they popular or unpopular.

This is the echo-chamber effect, and it's the antithesis of curious discussion.
Indeed, the 82C42 is a keyboard controller. The original 8042 was a microcontroller that had the keyboard controller code burned into the onboard ROM. I am using an 8242 variant right now from VT for a multi-cpu 68k project. There are a few different variants, but the most common one has the standard PS2 keyboard+mouse support.

Yea, this is the sad part. They literally already won and now they're stopping right before the finish line to fuck with the other people in the race.

What are the costs to run what is essentially a big text based site? They already offloaded all of the image hosting to third parties. Desktop ads would be more than enough to support the site indefinitely. Heck, maybe you can build in something to convert Amazon links to referrals or something. Fine, whatever, it's your website.

I'm sad to say it, but I don't think Reddit will be the same powerhouse in ten years. Just like Facebook, people will slowly start to migrate somewhere else. If they had focused on taking care of the community they already have, it didn't need to end like this.
Coinbase has been a primary enabler of VC-funded shitcoin token offerings to retail investors. It's exactly the right target.

I don't think they're either true or false, I think they're subjective. Some people will like this product, others won't.
Let’s hope it continues with VCs that pumped and dumped crypto on unsuspecting retail.

The iPhone 4 came out a year after https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTC_HD2 and kind of felt meh with it’s tiny screen.

Faking activity to bootstrap real activity is probably fine. To expand into international markets, they need to present existing activity to draw and retain users. But I don't see a problem with this.
> Many images for the web are highly compressed but nobody really notices.

Or they do but they just assume that's the way things are. They don't know why an image that's been reposted from Facebook to Twitter to Instagram to Reddit to Imgur and back a dozen times has artifacting and color banding, and as long as they can still get the gist of the image, it doesn't matter to them. Besides, it's not like they can just ask the platform to magically fix the image, so they just don't think about it.

In many cases, the original high quality source has been lost to 404s and unpaid webhosting bills. The original is probably still on someone's hard drive, but it's unlikely to be remembered, much less surface again, so compressed messes are all that's left.

With JPEG XL, many of those compressed messes would be much closer to the original image due to its extremely strong generational loss resilience (see the webm attachment to [0]).

JPEG XL is a massive step forward for images on the web for a number of reasons, but it has especially massive benefits when it comes to preserving image quality across the web. And this is especially true when you consider that you can reversibly reencode the billions of existing JPEGs on people's drives and on the web as JPEG-XLs losslessly for 20+% space savings [0].

No, Meta is focused on intrusive advertising, abating the law, and recording history about people against their explicit desire.

Whatever you think of Crypto (and everyone thinks it is either cancer or a miracle) Congress, not the SEC should be defining what a security (or commodity etc) is. Not just a SEC land grab. Especially as they were so cool with everything pre-FTX...
Looks like coinbase is on the chopping block now (:
On the one hand, it seems like they have an addressable market. On the other hand, it seems like a scam because they're trying to attract investors with a fancy web page and thin statements about where they're actually selling.

The comparison to a 25HP Kholer on the main page is... something. Here's the 'brochure': https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/5f6086e9bbbabd41a20f2984/642...

Less than half the torque at more than double the RPMs. And very low compression, I don't see how this can run diesel.
For conscious math yeah that's true. We also do a lot of unconscious math. Catching an arcing ball flying through the air for example. We don't think of that as math because it feels so natural to us, but our brain is tracking trajectory and speed and you're coordinating your body to intercept based on those details. Similar story with throwing a pass to where you know someone will be. Those sorts of skills become ingrained to the point where they become a reflex, but it's math computation behind the scenes.
Watson was an independent search application on Mac OS, until Apple basically photocopied it and named theirs Sherlock. Since then it's become a verb for when Apple takes your app and builds it into the OS.

Another blatant example was Dashboard, which copied Konfabulator, Night Shift is a copy of F.lux, etc.
I was thinking the same thing. Aren’t iPhones getting lidar? One will just record on an iPhone. Why is a person recording using a headset more dystopian than using an iPhone or camcorder? Camcorders were way more bulky and isolating than this headset will be.
I'm sorry, are you under the impression that high level government agents don't lie?

That he isn't no-name makes the lie more plausible of course. We're talking hypothetical and possibilities here, that you're completely rejecting the possibility of a government lie is pretty silly.

To add to your list, I was at a friends and used their headset for about ten minutes of gaming and the parts of my head that touched the headset were drenched in sweat, but that just may be a peculiarity of my physiology.
Think of passkeys as being the same as a password database. The provider can offer whatever recovery mechanism they want, and sites that use passkeys can continue to offer account recovery methods completely independent of their use of passkeys.

As for what Google does specifically with their implementation, I'm not sure. I personally plan to use KeepassXC's implementation, whenever that comes out, with my own custom database backup strategy.
That's the root of the problem - it's absolutely unclear what the global implications are and if this will be used to go after individuals staking on their own, etc.
Do you have any evidence for any of the claims here?
The more general the model, the longer the lifetime. And the most impactful models today are incredibly general. For things like Whisper, I wouldn't be surprised if we're already at 100:1 ratio for compute spent on inference vs training. BERT and related models are probably an order of magnitude or two above that. Training infra may be a bottleneck now, but it's unclear how long it will be until improvements slow and inference becomes even more dominant.

Capital outlays are tied to the derivative of compute capacity, so even if training just flatlines, hardware spend will drop significantly.
This happened early in the life of the iPad. Insurance companies wouldn’t include it in personal articles since there was high theft rate. That subsided over time due to ubiquity and software security.
Certainly, but GPT3.5 is effectively free via the API, especially considering you have to hit $5 or whatever to even be as expensive as ChatGPT (and it's even relatively difficult to rack up a high bill on GPT4 now that they have token rate limits). The problem of general and global access to unrestricted LLMs is a very, very serious question, but here it's largely a question of engineers and, since it's relatively difficult to spend more than a Netflix subscription via the API, I'm assuming this is conceivably in budget.
I got access to Copilot X and it's certainly nowhere near the capabilities of GPT-4, so i assume its 3.5-turbo, even Phind.com is significantly better

If bitcoin is not a security, how could someone also create a non-security token like bitcoin? This seems very unclear
Because before FTX, the political mood was laissez-faire. And now it is "bring me their heads".

Say what you like about crypto, coinbase have been 200% upfront, honest and compliant in their businesses and the SEC were A-Ok with that until 1 month ago.
