What is obsolete about Mac software? It seems like much of Windows' evolution since 7 is just ads and janky telemetry features which nobody wants.
I dunno, mayonnaise in my fridge from 2016 is probably extremely outdated.
If not, then i'm sure IBM legal team will hop on this...But, i think its pretty legal. (Please note; i am not a lawyer.)
I think you're not understanding. Direct IQ tests for employment are illegal in the US.
I think this could be handled more elegantly, as Apple has been able to make x86 compatibility better and more performant than quite a bit of actual x86 silicon… for MS, the backward compat of their software stack is rather important for enterprise customers.

Honestly tho, I find modern Windows infuriating to use without stripping it down quite a bit. Tiny11 is a lifesaver.
> great news for open source.

Yes, and great news for shills, bad actors, agitators, trolls, foreign intel, and propagandists. I'm impressed by the tech but terrified because for once I cannot conceive of what this means for the future. My guess is that this kills the open web and laws get passed which bury it.
I feel like the current situation where a lot of the content online is ad-supported, and people are free to install ad-blockers or move to publications that require payment already does this, no?

I was wondering about OP's suggestion (that is very common around these parts from time to time) that everything online should be paid and the ad supported internet economy is the worst thing in the world.
Counter data point: I maintain a windows 11 PC for gaming, and there are ads everywhere. Most of the ads point back to Microsoft products, but not all.

Launcher ads. Live desktop ads. News ads. Weather ads. Settings page ads. Game bar ads. Lock screen ads.

I turn them off as I run across them, but I can never seem to catch them all.
It's a B2C business with a B2B side (we also sell to schools and affiliate with SAT courses and college counselors).

What I meant was that when going out for fundraising in Silicon Valley your financial model is often compared to that of a B2B SaaS as they are both asset-light web software companies. Having studied those, I now realize why investors are so gung ho on B2B SaaS. The relative predictability of success, high profit margins, stickiness and network effects are quite simply hard to beat.
First off, I'm a big Firefox fan and it is the sole browser I use on desktop. With that said, I would never use Firefox on Android.

According to GrapheneOS (https://grapheneos.org/usage#web-browsing), which is the baseline standard for a hardened Android-based distribution,

> Chromium-based browsers like Vanadium provide the strongest sandbox implementation, leagues ahead of the alternatives... Chromium has decent exploit mitigations, unlike the available alternatives... Avoid Gecko-based browsers like Firefox as they're currently much more vulnerable to exploitation and inherently add a huge amount of attack surface. Gecko doesn't have a WebView implementation (GeckoView is not a WebView implementation), so it has to be used alongside the Chromium-based WebView rather than instead of Chromium, which means having the remote attack surface of two separate browser engines instead of only one. Firefox / Gecko also bypass or cripple a fair bit of the upstream and GrapheneOS hardening work for apps. Worst of all, Firefox does not have internal sandboxing on Android. This is despite the fact that Chromium semantic sandbox layer on Android is implemented via the OS isolatedProcess feature, which is a very easy to use boolean property for app service processes to provide strong isolation with only the ability to communicate with the app running them via the standard service API. Even in the desktop version, Firefox's sandbox is still substantially weaker (especially on Linux) and lacks full support for isolating sites from each other rather than only containing content as a whole. The sandbox has been gradually improving on the desktop but it isn't happening for their Android browser yet.

If you don't mind switching, I would heartily recommend switching to GrapheneOS. If you're attached to stock Android though, I would definitely say go with a Chrome or Chromium-based browser.

Windows being adware is such a meme now. Meanwhile macos and iOS push tv+, music and icloud storage all the time.
In functional programming, we value immutability and the notion of pure functions, meaning their outputs depend solely on their inputs without any side-effects. This is one of the reasons why we often lean away from traditional loop constructs of imperative languages, which are typically stateful and can produce side effects.

Instead of using loops, we often use higher-level functions like map, filter, and reduce. These functions allow us to focus more on the "what" (the operation being performed) rather than the "how" (the control flow). It's like saying, "transform each item in this list," as opposed to, "start here, do this to each item until you get to the end."

And when we do need to perform repetitive operations, we tend to use recursion rather than loops. Recursive solutions don't require mutable state and are easier to reason about, especially when the logic gets complex.

Lastly, mutable state, which is common in loops, can lead to issues such as race conditions in multithreading or distributed computation environments. The minimized state changes in functional programming makes it often more suitable for these scenarios.

So, it's not really about "hating" loops, but more about choosing the constructs that align better with the philosophy and goals of the functional paradigm.

To conclude, In order to use imperative looping constructs, you have to violate referential transparency and immutability, which are the hallmarks of functional programming.

And...

...the market for rice will totally collapse because it would cost more to transport it than the farmer would make by selling it. Feel free to substitute "rice" for whatever commodity which becomes "too cheap to meter".

The "invisible hand" has a tendency to bitchslap people who don't have an even modest understanding of economic principles.
A lot of the QA cost is with pedigree and traceability and that doesn’t scale nearly as well. A $1k bolt isn’t expensive because it’s a bespoke design; it’s expensive because you have to maintain tight control from everything from material coupons to storage. This is one area that makes a lot of manufacturers balk at the selling to aerospace companies; the amount of QC work just doesn't make sense for the amount of product they're making.

Another area is supplier control, which SpaceX has struggled with in the past. That doesn't scale well either, but maybe they can bring that cost down by vertical integration of manufacturing (although that doesn't really help as much for the pedigree cost).
It is a setting you can choose to enable when you install it. It judges “NSFW” images locally and automatically tags them as private, and you can choose to mark them "public" (as in they will appear in searches and albums and the like), they appear in your search. Or you can just choose not to enable that when you install it and it wont run that analysis. I have it turned on just in case something gets mixed in with my regular photos. I’d say 80% are false positives completely random pictures, or of bikini pictures or my gf laying on the couch in short shorts. But it does catch the occasional “private” image, so I like having it on. I also mark some photos private for various reasons, so I can pull up and show people my vacation photo album without worrying.

The review section is not for NSFW things. It is for low resolution or low information images. Again, it runs locally. As far as I know, it is to keep your library from being clogged up with crappy thumbnails or screenshots or other junk. If you don’t care, you can just bulk approve them.

It also does facial recognition locally. You aren’t giving up any privacy, which is why I use this after resisting Google photos and just doing the folders method for years.
I ran an instance of this for about a year. It is super cool and pretty easy to manage. It was more than I needed - I was using it as just a photo backup and then a way to share photo collections with people - and pretty expensive to run on digital ocean.
I gave it a try. Yeah seems like it works well on the functional side, but the performance was at least 4x slower than what ROCm on Linux gives me.
Not necessarily. For an easy counter example, build a Sierpiński triangle. Easy to unit test. Easier to build using imperative code than functional. (This goes for a ton of fractals, honestly.)
It's not, but SpaceX is very aggressive on cost control (it probably costs them less than $3M ea bird right now, which is amazing for space stuff, and the cost/capacity is only going to get better) and more importantly there's a lot of headroom for growth in the subscriber base.

Every software developer should know this story, it is a humbling and important lesson. Yes luckily most of can’t ship code that accidentally kills people but we can absolutely empathize with the conditions which led to it happening.

I recommend reading the entire postmortem, http://sunnyday.mit.edu/papers/therac.pdf yes it is quite long but if you write code in any capacity it’s worth the read
While that's what the Technical Report (https://arxiv.org/pdf/2303.08774v3.pdf) says, but GPT-4 out in the wild's (reproducible) performance appears to be much higher now. Testing from 3/15 (presumably on the 0314 model) seems to be at 85.36% (https://twitter.com/amanrsanger/status/1635751764577361921). And the linked paper from my post(https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2305.01210) got a pass@1 of 88.4 from GPT-4 recently (May? June?).

Out of curiousity, I was trying out gpt-4-0613 and claude-v2 with https://github.com/getcursor/eval, but sadly I'm getting hangs at 3% with both of them (maybe hitting rate limits?).
How exactly does the completely customizable systemd does any of that?

Not clear to me what that part means either, though this is interesting.

Unlike crypto, you don't need to on ramp/off ramp to send money around or worry about shifting rates for the duration of the transaction. It's basically direct bank account to bank account payments with no one else holding onto the money in the middle. You'll avoid the large crypto fees as well.

Cryptocurrency won't be affected much, other than where people were using it as a means to instantly pay someone faster than the usual systems.

The use cases itself are similar to what you'd normally use ACH or credit cards for: think rent, restaurants, online shopping, utilities, payroll, splitting money with friends, quickly paying vendor and other similar venues where instant payments help.
> Setting codegen-units to 1 gives even better code quality than thin local LTO, but takes longer. Some authors of binary rust crates always use that setting for release builds because they are willing to accept the extra compile times for the highest code quality.

I wonder how many of the authors who don't use it do so because they don't know about it.

Personally, i think release builds should use codegen-units=1 by default. The meaning of a release build is "take as long as needed to build the fastest possible code". Users shouldn't have to keep track of some set of additional settings needed to achieve that. If authors want to sacrifice performance to get faster builds, or have experimentally confirmed that there is no performance impact, then they can still set codegen-units to something else.
They do bring up a good point. An actual camera is almost always better than a camera module. But most people value cost and convenience over having the superior tool.

I've witnessed people who are unable to navigate when their phone shows SOS only. They were unaware that GPS does not depend on cellular Internet. People scoff at dedicated GPS navigation devices or paper maps as antiquated.
Hi! Do represent anthropic? Your bio says you’re at google.
I don't think it's different views on privacy between countries, since there's ambition to limit privacy of citizens in most countries.

My understanding is that there's always pressure from the executive to get more rights (surveillance, weapons, confinement). Depending on the administration and responsible minister, this results in slower or faster decrease in privacy.

E.g. here in Germany the current administration stance is against mass surveillance. But the responsible minister of inner affairs calls for less limits on surveillance. Luckily the entire rest of the administration is against it...
There’s not a single thing out there that even comes close to GPT-4. Not one that I’ve used anyway. Benchmarks be damned, it’s the experience that matters and I’ve yet to have an LLM blow my mind the way GPT-4 does.
We've made them neurotic! It sounds like a little kid trying to hide the parts of itself that it knows other people don't like. It'll get better at it as it grows up.
You can see that issues’ numbers are through the roof.

Only that it is clickbait.

Those leaked details are relevant only to language model researchers and maybe OpenAI's/Microsoft's competitors, not really to anyone else.
I think the reality is that training a "GPT-5" which is as much of a bump as GPT-4 was over GPT-3 or that was over GPT-2 would cost in the billions of dollars using today's hardware so they're choosing to wait it out until the risk of them screwing it up doesn't cost as much as a state of the art microfabrication plant.
The regulation will never change, but you get a huge advantage by working with smaller processors in terms of them being willing to work with you in a reasonable way.

There are 3 stages:

You are small: Stripe and the like work best because they are easy to set up and your small payments are low risk

Your are medium sized: You start to hit restrictions with these services but can not get any real support. You should work with a small indie processor.

You are big: You can get support (probably) so going with the big powerful solutions starts to make more sense again.
Would be nice if the deployment story became a bit more like CockroachDB too.
Yes, BT was divided into two business units to enable this process. They unlawfully colluded with each other in order to stop any reseller from being able to charge less than the BT retail offering. Result: terrible infrastructure investment and no competition.

The new Mac keyboards are fine really, they rolled back from the problematic butterfly keyboards to the older magic keyboards (whatever that's actually called, but it feels a lot better and is a lot more robust) - thankfully I skipped the 'butterfly era' completely when I switched from a mid-2014 13" MBP to a 14" M1 MBP.
> And yet not having a presence on the desktop stings a bit doesn't it

No. In fact, as a Linux user, I'm happy that Linux doesn't have a major share of the desktop. If it did, then I think it would have a terrible (to me) effect on the direction of Linux development, because it would be more tempting to aim for the most common denominator, and we already have good options for the most common denominator.
Do not forget that with ANNs we are still dealing with technologies with obscure sides: function approximators where the original function, and what it means, is oftentimes not reconstructed.

Replication of the experiment, "verification" of the law, can still be within a largely preliminary side - of the steps that describe behavioural details, patterns over "protocols", without the explanatory side (that which cause understanding, e.g. enabling deduction).
I've been thinking about making something like this for years, so I'm really glad it exists now!

A cool idea now would be to make a little lightweight web GUI out of it to manage all your domains in one place...
Paging hugoblanc, who has a heroic 14334 +1 comments out there: what drives you?
Anecdotally, even the non-technical people in my life are starting to notice the decline of Windows after updating to Windows 11. My aunt, for example, has been a Windows user since her first computer in the 1990s and she recently told me that while she dreads learning a new operating system, she's planning to get a MacBook when it's time for a new laptop. I'm also a lifelong Windows user, but I told her that it was a good decision. I don't see a future for Windows.
14 months advance notice is treating the community right.
Can we get an example of gain-of-function research helping us in any way?
Apple had a dark period between 2016 and 2019 when the keyboards on MacBooks were complete and utter garbage, but in 2019 they admitted their mistake and dropped the butterfly keyboard.

Both my work-issued 2019 16” and my personal 2023 16” have excellent keyboards.
What do you mean, the photos seem fine to me?
So I can give some behind the scenes insight on that. I don't think image caching will be a thing in the way people are explicitly asking, but we are exploring some alternative approaches to speeding up container launch that we think will actually be even more effective than what people are asking for.

First of all we want to leverage some of the learnings from AWS Lambda, in specific some of the research we've done that shows that about 75% of container images only contain 5% unique bytes (https://brooker.co.za/blog/2023/05/23/snapshot-loading.html). This makes deduplication incredibly effective, and allows the deployment of a smart cache that holds the 95% of popular recurring files and file chunks from container images, while letting the unique 5% be loaded over the network. There will be outliers of course, but if you base your image off a well used base image then it will already be in the cache. This is partially implemented. You will notice that if you use certain base images your Fargate tasks seems to start a bit faster. (Unfortunately we do not really publish this list or commit to what base images are in the cache at this time).

In another step along this path we are working on SOCI Snapshotter (https://github.com/awslabs/soci-snapshotter) forked off of Stargz Snapshotter. This allows a container image to have an attached index file that actually allows it to start up before all the contents are downloaded, and lazy load in remaining chunks of the image as needed. This takes advantage of another aspect of container images which is that many of them don't actually use all of the bytes in the image anyway.

Over time we want to make these two pieces (deduplication and lazy loading) completely behind the scenes so you just upload your image to Elastic Container Registry and AWS Fargate seems to magically start your image dramatically faster than you could locally if downloading the image from scratch.
This is true, however it was still a property tax (appreciation of course is due to land but the disincentive on improvements is still there), it was poorly administered (long periods between assessments) and it was during the extreme inflation of the 70's.

This is definitely an issue with levying LVT at fairly low rates. Granted, at the time it was relatively high but it wasn't high enough. The 'ideal' LVT would bring down the price of land -considerably-, close to $0. The fact that land still has a large selling price means it is still largely financed with loans, and sensitive to interest rate adjustments.
a16z had a great article on govt interference raising costs through the roof.

710% rise in education costs is American exceptionalism and greed.

If the federal govt stopped backing loans and let the market play out, the prices would come down.

If they removed employment sponsored healthcare loophole, and allowed a transparent pricing (like the one you get from your car mechanic before they fix your car), prices would come down.

There’s nothing magically different in health insurance vs car insurance.

I’m gonna get downvoted for this. Democrats have a good heart, but when they start giving away money, it’s not well thought out on how supply will react to increased demand.

PPP loans were a huge clusterfuck of giving out free money.

Now they’ve blown the debt ceiling.

The goal should be to lower prices, not to doll out more free money.

Inflation in house prices is nuts.

So you’ve got young people who can’t afford to own their home, ridden in education debt they may not be able to pay, not having kids since they can’t afford em.

Doesn’t look like a bright economic future.
That was once upon a time long, long ago!
Well the point is that the replication protocol is going to fix all issues no matter what, so you could say that the only winning move is to enjoy watching TigerBeetle move forward impervious of scripted nor human-inputted issues.

In other words, you're going to 'win' no matter what :^)
There's so many variables in play that it's difficult to speak universally on it. Every case is unique, there is relevant case law, different state laws, etc. Everything you said is a possibility - I would say off the cuff that it generally hinges on the scale of negligence and harm - consider these the X and Y axes of a graph where the Z axis is whether the clerk laughs at you, whether a judge dismisses it pre-trial, whether it goes to trial, if a settlement can be negotiated. Die or lose a limb? Stakes go up for sure.

Sometimes insurance will pay all the legal/settlement costs, sometimes they won't, sometimes a business will have to negotiate to avoid a rate hike (we did x, y, and z to avoid this liability and minimize the settlement) and sometimes the insurance policy does vanish.
I'm with you, that would be cute! But that might be too on the nose...However, green beret or olive cap might be cooler! Either way, yeah, they should name it something related to headwear with a green-ish color.
The protocol used by Certbot is called ACME, and is supported by a bunch of CAs, both free and not.
