I can appreciate arguments for and against AI art being immoral, however:

> It's not immoral, it's just [how] economies work.

Do you believe that every aspect of "economies" (or, to simplify the question, let's say just current day capitalism to exclude things like communism and historic economies from the equation) must automatically be moral, or perhaps amoral since you only said "not immoral"?

Seems to me like either a badly thought out claim, or a bad faith argument to justify your main claim about AI art, rather than an actual justification for believing AI art is not immoral.

(Side note - from the POV of my comment anyway, though I suppose technically my comment is the side-note and this is back on the main topic: if you genuinely haven't noticed any debate over the morality or not or AI art, you've not been following AI coverage in mainstream & tech news publications, nor reading the huge number of HN threads where people disagree over whether or not AI image generators training on human art without compensating the human creators should be considered immoral IP theft or should be considered the same as a human studying great artists while working on improving their own art).

Westworld (the old one) was absolutely groundbreaking.
I've only read that one, but had been meaning to read more. It's been bumped up the list. Cheers
Obscure is not even needed sometimes, for embedded stuff you can just use a lang that doesnt run fast enough on the tafget hardware
Over 34% of American households make over 100k per year. That's hardly "rarified air". It's more people than voted for Trump.
That's what SponsorBlock is for.
Same here, been using two Fossil Hybrid smartwatches ever since my Pebble stopped working.

I'm sold on simple smartwatches that only require an e-ink (or whatever it is) screen because they hold a charge for well over a month and still do everything I need from them. Namely show notifications, who's calling, who's messaging, read messages, control music, and some other stuff that is less important.

The app has also improved over the years, even though I'm still pretty sure they sell all my personal data to any bidder. Of course I'd prefer a more self hosted or open approach.

But it's good enough. Currently I'm using a Machine, don't remember the name of the one before it but it was similar, slightly smaller.
The average user has no need whatsoever to run unsigned code on macOS. Or on Windows for that matter, but code signing on Windows doesn't really matter as nobody reads those popups anyway.
I still only use Pebble watches. You can pick them up on eBay for $30 USD, and the Rebble.io community helps keep them alive.

I have yet to see another smartwatch do what they did, which is a bit baffling to me. Watchy came close, being fully programmable with an e-ink screen, but the bulk of the housing was atrocious.
Absolutely. It is comparable to python in some ways, but makes it much easier to write quick one-liners using regexes and data manipulation, and to scale those up to real programs. It fills the gap between bash scripts using awk, grep and sed, and C/java/C#. Compared to bash scripting, perl is a real programming language. The documentation and library ecosystem are excellent, backwards compatibility is legendary, yet it supports modern Unicode. The syntax is weird, but try it for a bit, read the man pages, it's not that hard. The OO system is weirder, and I wouldn't make complex class hierarchies in it, but it is usable.
The third party app remembers the location when it last received pulse from the beacon that is in the car and when you open it, leads the user back to it.

Disclosure: I actually happen to kno exactly how this feature works, as I added support for iBeacons in apps for iOS and Android in one of our projects. Not for the functionality described above, but for waking the app once a user walks to a proximity of a beacon. My office beacon is laying at a distance of less than 1meter from me right now.
You can still pay for high quality reporting. If you choose not to, then the question is back to you.
According to a quick skim of the wiki page, you can see them from hilltops and they may have only taken a few days to make.

Once humans get past basic survival, we seem to start filling our time at least partly with art.
I see automatic translation of normal websites a lot too. I'm French and doing some home renovations, and according to google our houses are built in a way that is vastly different from my experience on the ground, and it's really frustrating, because our regulations and customs are different, and I really need to do things the local way.
The thing is - just because we can't find an answer to a hard problem we can't simply use a whatever placeholder "answer" in the meantime. There is no mandate from the above to have some/any answer, as a must have thing. If we don't have a real (maybe incomplete) answer then we just don't. Full stop. We can't substitute it with random words just because it is convenient.

So your counterpoint should be actually split into two parts:

1. Should we work on the unsolved problem even when it is very hard and ambiguous and there is no even clear hypothesis for the solution? Of course we should.

2. Should we make new conclusions derived from the the unsolved problem #1? No, we must not.

So listing the different parties:

a) Scientists should work on the researching consciousness problem.

b) Animal activists should continue protecting animals, but not because they are supposedly conscious, but because they MAY be. We just don't know yet.

c) Journalists MUST stop writing that such and such animal has consciousness.
GPU, ML accelerator cards with real software support.

High speed interconnect, maybe proprietary.

Potentially multiple sockets if they can’t scale their current design.

Fast, redundant, hot swappable storage.
I'd like to think they can learn. Even with all the heavy metal poisoning, I don't think it's too late to teach new generations how to think critically.

I can't speak to how bad things are elsewhere, but the average American only reads at a 6th grade level. That's also about where their understanding of science is. Their math skills are even worse. Americans today are not a good indicator of what humanity is capable of. We could always try to fix our educational system as opposed to sabotaging it. I have to believe we can do better.

Only seems to sync bookmarks.
There's about a dozen of screens you can toggle between (time, date, next alarm, number of steps, distance and so on). Short press of the only button toggles between them, long press does some action (example: cancel next alarm).

However I don't have anything on that screen by default to extend battery life closer to a month.

Two more features I highly appreciate:

- I don't think I could go back to an alarm on my phone. Smart wakeup really works wonderfully.

- Even when battery's at 0%, basic functionality (telling time, counting steps) still works for like a week or two.
New type of memory could greatly reduce energy use and improve performance
A simpler explanation is that they were able to climb up hills.
I think there's some selection bias. There's a huge number of startups getting funded each year, it's a multi billion dollar industry. Do you have data showing a disproportionate amount operating in auth tools were funded recently or are you just going by whatever news reached you lately?
I don’t think yield is really a barrier to an “Extreme” chip.

They would be manufacturing 4x Max dies, which have no yield issues, and then combine them together in a separate process.
My sister had an insurance tracker fitted in her car, and it was awful - it kept sending her emails saying "we detected you going 70mph on a 20mph road, if this keeps happening we'll cancel your insurance altogether" - we'd contact them asking for proof, they would send us a GPS trace and of course she was driving on the motorway going legal 70mph going ABOVE a 20mph street but the system was dumb enough to just check "what's the speed limit at those exact coordinates" and issued automatic warning letter. It would also frequently show her negative driver scores for "smoothness" of driving every time she would go over a speedbump. Absolute travesty of a system.
It is BASIC all over again.
As a Brazilian, let me give you my opinion:

Universities: are ok in general with a few ones really good, like USP, ITA, UFMG, Puc-RJ, UFRJ and others. It’s really hard to join those but if you’re able to do it, your education will be excellent.

High school: public high schools are really bad, privates are ok.

Basic school: same as high school.

I study my entire life in public schools and when I started my CS degree, I discovered that I knew nothing about sciences and math.
The question is how many of those cards that would work as a USB-C or Thunderbolt-4 box (or maybe even 10G ethernet).

At least all the audio cards should be doable as external boxes.
Taxes on EVs will be at a maximum just before around 20% if the market is EV, as they’re seen as a way to soak/punish people who are weird (ie early adopters). Once people actually see how disproportionate the fees are and if significant numbers of voters have to pay them, support will drop.
I find myself getting increasingly bored of stories where they detail the inordinate amount of effort they expended to prove a mundane thing. Not great when the reader is left with the question "so what?" rattling around in their skull at the end of the article.
I know right! I can't remember the last time I had to click through to the second page of Kagi unless my search was a futile one in the first place (ie: I hadn't understood the problem enough to know what to search for)
Greater than the equivalent state gas tax.
It's a pretty weird subject: the document that has been mentioned in the press about that requirement doesn't exactly say that Google app are required, it says that when you do an "Android" it must always comply to Android APIs. Which can be done without Google apps. BTW that agreement still exists even where it was deemed anti-competitive, but in domains where Google isn't a monopoly (like cars).

That being said, it's Google. Even you didn't sign anything that says you're not allowed to do Google-less Android, when you launch a non-Google device, Googly devices may just "mysteriously" fall into "oops sorry we are understaffed, we don't have time to handle your requests".
Really nicely done, but how to know that it's not an OpenAI key harvesting scheme? (Sorry, certain events in my life recently have turned me a bit cynical.)
People can complain about anything. That does not mean they are right.

If a PoC is later extended, it will of course have limitations. We do not need to change the meaning of PoC to full product to preemptively solve that.

Instead, when a PoC is done everybody involved needs to understand the implications. If people insist on misinterpreting them, that is on them. Those are political problems, not technical ones. They can be solved by aligning incentives.

TLDR. A PoC is a PoC, not a full product.
I think it's really more simple than that - they have made architectural choices for Apple Silicon that simply don't fit the Mac Pro paradigm. Unified Memory Architecture primarily.

The Mac Pro lives on as a Mac Studio for people who need PCIe cards for their audio/video hardware to connect to. That's it.
"If a builder builds a house for someone, and does not construct it properly, and the house which he built falls in and kills its owner, then that builder shall be put to death."

Modern construction law isn't as brutal, still liabilities will be questioned if corners were cut, and brought to court.

In many cases, programming is still at the level of driving chariots with steam engines.
I don't think I'll ever have another desktop computer, currently rocking a 14" M1 Pro with 32GB of Ram and I do FE web dev, backend dev (node/C#), some native Android/iOS dev, run docker containers, etc, etc

It just handles everything I throw at it with ease, I honestly don't think I'd benefit from upgrading to any of the M2s, or even a higher spec M1/more RAM.
> more gravity would create more "pull"?

Exactly. There is more mass below the ocean in the areas around where the hole developed and less mass below the hole. That mass is pulling water from the hole so it became a hole. By the way, less water in the hole and more around it further contribute to making the hole deep because water also have a mass. It doesn't go on forever up to draining the center of the hole dry, there is an equilibrium. Calculating the sea levels could be an unusual physics problem for students.
Indeed, gas taxes act as a sort of carbon tax, so taxing EVs to compensate is like getting rid of a carbon tax.
Sorry last question - does it do sleep tracking?
Well it kinda makes sense - eventually you will have to use EV chargers because ICE cars will get phased out entirely(maybe not in 10 but in 30 years for sure) so we're all paying forward for the infrastructure that we're all going to need.
Thank you, that's good to hear.
Where are the request servers hosted? What's the peering like for those hosts?

I feel like people also often forget that bad peering by ISP can have a big influence on the overall latency.
That's the situation AV pros were in during the Trashcan era and they hated it.
I'm pretty sure it's just him wanting to toy with databases and picking systemd to be his victim.

I'd expect when he finds new toy to keep himself busy someone else will fix it to actually work properly for the most time like it happened with PulseAudio
I like to say that the whole point of exceptions is not to handle them -- except when you know exactly which exception can happen and how to handle it. Everything else should be allowed to bubble up and handle on the highest level, whether it's by returning an error HTTP code, showing an error message to the user, or simply logging it at the right level.

This is why the try: block should never contain more than one single line, with the except block(s) limited only to the errors that can be expected from that line and that you explicitly want to handle at that point. Trying multiple lines and handling generic levels is a perfect way to get errors that are difficult to track.

pygwalker is actually a python binding of graphic-walker, which can be embedded in any environment: A R binding of graphic-walker, a plugin of graphic-walker in excel, etc.
Not necessarily, the yields could be OK but the performance bump of the real silicon didn’t materialize.
Some do involve an awful lot of reading...
You have got to be kidding me. Next you’ll say that properly inflating your tires is “tax evasion” because you’ll burn less gas.
>What do you reckon the cost of doing this would be?

That is indeed the key question. I tried to find out before commenting but the information I found is very vague. Internet Archive spends millions per year, but their index is updated far too slowly for a search engine. I have no idea what it costs to create a Google-size index.

Do you think the Mojeek index is good enough to compete with Google?
Apple is going to do the second one if there’s enough of a market for running GPUs locally.

Gaming clearly isn’t, for Apple.

But running LLMs might be, time will tell if running them locally is going to become commonplace.
What app do you recommend from F-Droid? I've been looking for an alternative as well but none of the ones in the Play Store look appealing to me.
Google could have pretty much owned the entire messaging ecosystem today had they just done it properly to start with.

When Android was new, you had to wait for eventually Skype to do an Android release. Then there was Hangout, Talk, Duo, Meet, ... and of course the built in SMS app.
They do that in AU / VIC for the EV road use tax, you have to upload a photo. I don't see the problem, just make it illegal to lie and fine the ones you catch.
I see code as engineering, where there is no "right". There is "right" for the features, or right for the safety, or right for the budget, in a balance of compromises. Sometimes "right" is crappy code, and sometimes it is formally verified code.
Move fast and break people. How many entrepreneurs learned from the Titan disaster that they should really hire test pilots?
You can have a look at graphic-walker behind pygwalker, which provides more API to interact. graphic-walker is a react component and pygwalker is the python binding of it.
Software Engineers that took a proper engineering degree care as well.
I often use `python -m http.server` e.g. to easily share files over local networks but I had no idea so many standard modules supported this. Thanks for sharing this link!

That seems like a failure of management.
It is remarkable at how much this reads like the rants of an incel — "it's everyone else's responsibility but my own... society is at fault because of women... maybe treat me nicer and I won't be a misogynist..."

The anti-trans remarks at the end is a strong indicator this author has not exceed their incel views, rather, just hidden it with a smug "I've grown and are thus better than you," which is so overtly transparent I thought this might've been a parody.
"Greedy people wouldn't get divorced or retire."

Swing and a miss.
I had tried June 2 years back when you guys had launched and tried it again now. While the product is looking more fuller and richer, I still wonder how do you differentiate versus Amplitude or Mixpanel? Is it pricing? Is it pre-built reports?

Both Amplitude / Mixpanel have pretty easy interfaces for building custom reports. If you are a profitable scaled SaaS the integrations available and the customizability + add-on product portfolios like schema management as you grow make it real hard to compete.

I would love to understand if you are building for a different segment of users here or tackling some use-cases and have a different POV which is not captured yet by these tools.
Another way to think about it is that software that focus on performance loses market share to software that focuses on other things.

I super doubt that a low volume high end Mac is going to eschew the new unified memory architecture. Once Intel support leaves macOS, 100% of their kernel/gpu efforts across 100% of their devices will be based on an ARM SoC, so they can go on a code deletion/optimisation spree.
And I'm saying you can. Splitting up articles is pretty equivalent to watering down beer or making smaller candy bars or selling apples in quarters for the purpose of this.
How this Building Powers the Internet
A compulsory national ID system already means they are living in a police state, so they have worse issues to worry about than this.

Also, maybe at some point the UE countries will start to enforce the CJUE directive that banned US companies (and especially GAFAMs) in 2015 (after the war is over ?), this would open quite a space for competition !
"In spite of the topic of this blog, I think you should always aim to write code which is idiomatic to the language you’re using. If only so it’s accessible to whoever has to maintain your code after you’re gone."

Come on. This approach is almost always used to justify shitty practices just because they are idiomatic (read: the language has a severe limitation in the area)

This is a really good example - if you can use a library with proper option types or other constructs which reduce bugs - go ahead! Similar with C# and libraries like language-ext - zero idiomacity but in some cases, can replace hundreds of lines of code while preventing obvious bugs.

Whoever has to maintain it afterwards should be grateful about being exposed to different styles and language idioms instead of complaining that he's been taken out of his comfort zone, in my opinion.
The issue is not raising money, precisely, the issue is raising money by selling large amounts of controlling equity (as is usually the case for VC funding and IPOs, with a few notable exceptions). The purchasers will expect their money’s worth, and they will (eventually) not hesitate to exercise the control it bought them in order to get that.

VCs in particular will expect much more than their money’s worth, or (most of the time) for the company to die trying to earn it, and they won’t hesitate to force the latter in pursuit of the former. This increase in variance is literally their investment model.

So if VCs expect their investments to fail most of the time, and I see a company take VC money, I must have very strong reasons if I’m to disbelieve the VCs and expect the company to succeed—and I’m not following a venture investment strategy when I choose a tech supplier.

IPOs are somewhat milder in their intrinsic character, but they still usually lead to professional boards of directors and eventually professional execs, where “professional” usually means “no subject matter expertise”. And hardly anybody runs a public company on customer satisfaction nowadays, unfortunately.

So when I see controlling equity sold, my outlook changes from “will this go to shit?” to “when this inevitably goes to shit, will it be in the distant enough future that I don’t care or can plan for the loss?” (that being maybe a decade or so for infra, or implausibly long—like the rest of my natural life—for anything involving a community).

As usual, the question remains—why does none of this seem to be priced in? I don’t know.
Damn that is shady as hell. Enticing with a small discount then boom, guaranteed increased premiums for years.

The big comparison websites are complicit too as they list those policies along the others in a table sorted by price, not making much of a deal about the risks etc and how different the policy is
I think you're overestimating the impact technical users have on the survival of a business. Word of mouth and technical influence inside SMBs and corporations can only do so much, especially for a business that doesn't have a corporate sales strategy.

> Nearly all of us in the "niche technical audience" are the personal IT support departments of some subset of our family, friends, and their friends.

How has that influence worked out for you so far? By that logic, all our family and friend circles would be running Linux, using OSS, and be more mindful of their privacy. IME my attempts at convincing others to use the tools that I use has mostly been met with lukewarm response, or even arguments in favor of the tools that they already use. Convincing someone to change their computing habits is not just a matter of being considered an expert in the field.

Google Chrome spread because it had the resources and influence of a billion-dollar corporation, and the marketing budget to reach millions of users. Firefox is barely surviving, and most of it is due to its corporate contracts, not because of its technical audience.
Nice! I dabbled with deep learning and CRF for the sequence tagging. I ran in the same issues you mentioned. Current approach is hand rolled. The „holy grail“ would be linking ingredients mentioned in the directions. So, I could just tap on „…vinegar…“ in an instruction and see that I need 2 tbsp.
The discussion isn't about me, unless you meant the general you. However, that may be the case, but it doesn't reach the scale of the amount of people on the Internet and the pressures of that plus capitalistic markets.
