Netflix documentaries aren't always the most 'academic', or 'robust'.

But the one that was just released about AI for autonomous drones, is pretty shocking.

The military side is farther along than I thought, AND, you know what is appearing in a Netflix documentary is old, it isn't the latest things that are still secret.

In any case, why it relates to this article.

We are in a race with other nation states, so all of this discussion about 'curtailing' or limiting AI, is all just grand standing, smoke screen.

Nothing will slow down development because other countries are also developing AI, and everyone firmly believes they have to be first or will be wiped out. Hence no one will slow down.
Nothing. I just logged on and got hit with a captcha + ID verification. They just said they do it when there is a potential account compromise.
But then you'll break if someone supplies a "real" member function. Is this even a big deal with std::invoke, which lets us treat regular functions and PMFs uniformly?
And like 90% of E. coli genome is protein coding. I intentionally wasn't limiting it to humans because humans make up a very small portion of total DNA in the world.
Beer from Yeast Alone?
<speculation>

1) cells share a large portion of DNA sequences

2) cells change their behavior based on their environment
(Mark Ptashne "A Genetic Switch: Phage Lambda Revisited")
(Mark Ptashne and Alexander Gann "Genes & Signals)

3) The technology exists to edit the genome
(Ali Movahedi "One Introduction of Genome Editing (CRISPR))

4) modify yeast genome so that based on the sugar concentration
they produce barley rather than yeast

5) combine regular yeast and "barley yeast" in a sugar concentration

... beer!

It’s not about Sony, but customers that own a PS and not an XBox. Microsoft loves to buy studios and restrict access, just look a Halo it was introduced as a Mac game by the studio, Microsoft bought them specifically for XBox and fuck anyone that owned a Mac.

2 years after release they released a copy of the first game because all the work was done. Nothing from the rest of the series.
Most people are interested (by definition) in pop culture. My mom, an "average user", loves these little updates. That's actually why I mentioned Linux and Windows, they serve different parts of the spectrum a lot better (hardcore vs average) user.

You can see, right there in your statement, the problem with Macs: they cater to a wealthy coastal technology elite that believes they know better than everybody else.
Functions do not exist in the context of the "Go to statement considered harmful" paper, so there is no good analog in there. Further, he is specific that it is only about unbridled gotos. continue and break are decidedly bridled. In reality, the paper just doesn't apply to any language created in the last several decades, even those which use the goto keyword. We bought in to structured programming.

Except I posit that throw/catch still suffers the same problem he speaks of. It becomes difficult to follow when and where the code will jump to an arbitrary spot. The harmful parts of goto live on. Granted, we are learning. Modern languages are abandoning the throw/catch concept.

Apparently, the header print adds symbols to the std namespace, just like other standard headers:

Yeah that seems more ideal
People always bring this up like it’s a big deal, but most users aren’t interested in starting a business. We just wanna play with LLMs.

Frankly, I’m glad we don’t have a bunch of llamas in different skins being hawked like the current crop of “AI” startups that are just thin layers over OpenAI’s API.
But you can't get the info back though.
Yeah, it seems like sugar wasn’t the issue then. It seems like you’re saying that you just weren’t exposed to different foods.

(Unless, you’re saying that McDonalds has lamb burgers in whatever country you live in and you couldn’t tell the difference between their beef and lamb burgers? Cause I can definitely see this. I just looked up that McDs in India used to have lamb burgers.)
It’s not exactly ideal to run ultra wide harvesters on narrow terraced fields.

Until the pandemic, the statistics show net population increase in Tokyo, Nagoya, Fukuoka, and Osaka and substantial declines in rural areas. The work’s not any easier, but you get paid more.

I’m not saying any of this is good, but let’s not get into weird exoticism and othering based on some idyllic vision of Japan.
The reason that this is Engineering as opposed to Science, is that the hypothesis is just, "hey, maybe this will work".

Nobody has really explained why it works.
Not only can you turn the badges off in your profile but you are barely even encouraged to participate. I have absolutely no idea what badges I'm missing and I have never once done anything to achieve a badge that didn't come to me by naturally using github.

I really don't get why some of you think that github would be drastically different without badges.

> in fact, the first time we mentioned eDP over on Hackaday, was when someone reused high-res iPad displays by making a passthrough breakout board with a desktop eDP socket. Yes, with DisplayPort, it’s this easy to reuse laptop and tablet displays – no converter chips, no bulky adapters, at most you will need a backlight driver.

I'm a bit confused by the linked project's PCB [1] - if all that's needed is a backlight driver, why all the differential pairs between the microcontroller and the eDP FFC?

I just wish the Google Pixel line supported display out over USB-C.
For some reason, outside of video, HDMI knows how to shoot themselves in the foot almost as well as the USB-IF.

HDMI CEC? Has anyone actually got that working correctly?

Anyone remember Ethernet over HDMI? Apparently that was a thing. (Not to be confused with HDMI over Ethernet, which actually has some uses.)

HDMI for soundbars? We got ARC ports (Audio Return Channel). But it was buggy, didn't support lossless audio, needed new DRM, and was bad at maintaining lip sync, so introducing eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel). eARC works by... scrapping Ethernet over HDMI and reusing the wires. Better get a new TV that supports it, there's no adapters (downgrading to regular ARC if any part of the chain doesn't support eARC).
While OpenAI likely has some insights that open-source and closed-source competitors are lacking, OpenAI is mostly in the lead because they can burn absurd amounts of cash running an absurd amount of compute via their partnership with Microsoft.
> Ok, I guess I misunderstood the scope of "There's also nothing special about observing."

There's nothing special about the physical processes constituting a scientific experiment. They're unitary evolution like everything else. Whether there's anything special about conscious experience (for my money: obviously yes) is outside the scope of physics.

> or whether the question of things having definite positions (and the very existence of those things) wouldn't even make sense in the absence of consciousness.

If you want to be perfectly precise, the MWI does not contain discrete things at all, any more than the Earth objectively has discrete continents and seas. But the most accurate map is not always the most useful one.
Pfft. But did it have a transparent taskbar and four different screens for the same settings? Ads in its search functionality? New Solitaire modes? That's what I call progress, baby.
You can also travel on a bike from NY to LA.
Sounds like you need to upgrade to gold plated HDMI.
For a Keras Core model to be usable with the TF Serving ecosystem, it must be implemented either via Keras APIs (Keras layers and Keras ops) or via TF APIs.

To use pretrained models, you can take a look at KerasCV and KerasNLP, they have all the classics, like BERT, T5, OPT, Whisper, StableDiffusion, EfficientNet, YOLOv8, etc. They're adding new models regularly.
I think Dolby's desire to market the Atmos brand is unfortunately beyond what the tech can deliver. Atmos works great for people willing to invest in a high end system, especially for the right content, but it's diminishing returns on entry level systems and headphones.
I guess it depends on how your interactions are implemented. If it’s an SPA then 200ms is absurdly slow. But if it’s a more traditional form submit or something then it would take a lot longer for your next set of pixels to comes through.

I don't think calling this a degenerate judgement is fair. I too have a child and I too admire the gusto with which she experience the world. But when your child is amazed by a beetle in the backyard, your sense of amazement stems not from the beetle, but from the fact that your child can be amazed by a beetle. You're amazed specifically because your child sees the world in a way that you don't. And so I fully believe that a child believes basic staples taste better than the finest cuisine, but that doesn't make their taste a good proxy for adults.
It may be effective (although I'm skeptical), but is the sort of manipulative bullshit that sends me running. Sites and applications that do this are very shady sites and applications.

And this can be scientifically measured by mouse distance and clicks.

> most optimal workflow to accomplish a user's tasks

And this can be scientifically assessed by taking all use cases and refactoring over them.

List all the available goals at any given "location" in the program. List all the steps users take to get accomplish their goals. Consolidate and refactor, then optimize on the shortness, obviousness, and fault tolerance of every flow.

This is more fundamental to the user experience than colors or animations or the availability of any single feature.

I still remember the the time upping my res from standard vga to 800x600 when i got my big 17 inch crt that would have a bearable (read: no headaches) refresh rate at that resolution. Suddenly Word did not have icons up until further than the top half of the screen and became usable for writing letters. After that, things _only_ _improved_.

When reading posts like this, it reminds me of the times when I re-used an older-than win95 machine and was cursing about the clumsiness of the UI.

People seem to recollect past times very differently.

Suggesting we benefit from and should tolerate some degree of assholes is not some kind of justification for asshole behaviour. It's a similar effect where we wouldn't care about computer security if criminals and black hats didn't exist, which would leave us incredibly vulnerable. This doesn't entail that we should proactively hire or encourage criminals and black hats to attack us.

The fact that the problems I pointed out are external is because those were just the most obvious failure modes, do not take it as an exhaustive list.
Meh, maybe with Microsoft's kind of accessibility support, Blizard can get more of a go-ahead to make Hearthstone, and other games, accessible. We've seen with the GuideDev Hearthstone mod that it's possible.
Yes, good eye :) I used it for years, and eventually just asked the author to get his official permission. I treasure it.
> Many frontend and some backend services also expose numerous HTTP (REST and GraphQL) endpoints; however, they do not have canonical names that we can use for our analyses. For this reason, we limit the endpoint analysis only to Thrift RPCs reported in the dataset from the routing library.

That’s too bad. One of the funnest thing is when a backend service calls into www, the monolith PHP code base. For example, callbacks when an item enters a queue or video call changes state. And by fun, I mean annoying to debug.
A product that mostly declines to be a product doesn’t seem like it would sell very well.
That was my first impression too but then I thought about what it’s actually measuring: page responsiveness, not animation jank.

I’m not going to expect a 16ms response or anything for every animation but much slower & you see jank.

For page interactivity though? 0.2s is pretty damn fast. Human response time is 0.15-0.25s

So it’s pretty reasonable
Sorry if that sounds stupid, but why isn't Ethernet used for this sort of high bw signaling?
Both IntelliJ Rust and Rust Analyzer (an LSP server for Vim, VSCode, and other editors) teams publish their changelings weekly on Monday. Often the two blog posts get linked on /r/rust right next to each other. It's always heartwarming seeing users of both coming over to these threads and thanking the maintainers.

The function is part of the std namespace, just like std::cout.
So these bots, as they currently exist, are already suitable for:

* Predicting the physical geometry of proteins

* Playing Starcraft

* Playing Go

* Trading stocks

* Controlling motors to make a bipedal robot walk

* Analysing data from particle accelerators

* Analysing data from telescopes

* Detecting cancer in medical images

These are all things that AI can do today. Are you suggesting that we are near a paradigm shift where a single AI system will ve competent in all of these domains? And will further be simmilarly competent in novel domains for which it has not been designed?
That is an absurd set of technologies to choose. The cost of having multiple persistent backends is so high I’ve never understood the motivation.
Well, yes. You see, no one uses 800x600 monitors anymore so we don't really optimize desktop app experiences for that.
If this were a top level comment I am sure you'll get 20 people disagree with you on this
The issue is not with HDMI. The audio data is sent between each frame. The lag comes from the fact that TVs apply post-processing to video which causes it to lag relative to audio.
This post was informative and I didn't realize just how different DisplayPort is from HDMI.
Recently, I got a desktop dock that uses DisplayPort instead of HDMI to connect to my monitor. My monitor has 2 HDMI ports, 1 Type-C, and 1 DisplayPort. So far things have been fine but I did notice that the audio is choppy no matter what I do. I thought it was the dock but audio going from my computer > dock > my webcam's speaker works fine (all over usb-c). So unfortunately, it leads me to believe that the DisplayPort is causing this jittery audio.
> C CPU and memory model is based on a single-core, linear-memory background that belies the complex internals of modern CPUs

This has become a popular meme, but it just ain't so.

Assembly language has this model, and the complex internals of modern CPUs are largely hidden from it as well.
Better get that Monster Cable!
Saying that if you ignore the law then it is legal is not a useful point.

Even if the tweets are public that doesn't mean you can steal an authorization token to use an API to query for them. If you hacked into so server and downloaded /usr/bin/bash you still accessed data you were not authorized to even though it was a public binary.

Twitter's terms of service makes it clear that you aren't allowed to reverse engineer the android app to take its token and start scraping twitter.
An audio jack is very common. Some even come with speakers. They are usually not very good but they get the job done in a pinch.

I use 2 computers connected to the same monitor via hdmi and use barrier (and a script) to switch screens. The audio for the correct monitor gets activated automatically. It's very convenient.
I could be wrong as I was young and not yet in the field, but my impression has always been that sometime in the 80s/90s as the whole "networking, world wide web, wowie!" moment happened, there was this idea that "maybe on a local computer everything is files, but on the network everything is streams. Hey, maybe everything is streams!?" and C++ just happened to be creating itself in that zeitgeist, trying to look modern and future-thinking, so somebody decided to see what would happen if all the i/o was "stream-native".

IDK, it'll probably make more sense in another 15 years as we clear away the cruft of all the things that tried to bring "cloud native" paradigms into a space where they didn't really fit...

Confuse who?

An instant "success" notice beats waiting every single time, regardless of user level, if we're even classifying that.
Super cool, does that mean if someone trains something using the PyTorch backend, I can still use it with the coral if I load the weights using the tensorflow backend?
More cynically, they think they've hit a wall and a projected GPT-5 won't be a huge or meaningful jump in performance, so they'd like everyone else to slow down too.
Most serious C++ developers will tell you that C++14 was basically a bug fix for some oversight in the C++11 spec. You should probably use it if you can if that’s the standard you’re happy with.
> But when I turn off my displays that are on HDMI or DVI or VGA, the computer still detects them like normal, like they're connected, because they are.

But since they’re off, that doesn’t make any sense, now you can’t reach any windows on those monitors. I think the macOS behavior make the most sense, move them so you can access them, but move them back once the display is turned on.
>> I eat it and after all the hype, am disappointed.

"Fine" wine has almost nothing to do with taste. It is about culture. It is about history and travel. It is about wealth. It is about demonstrating one's ability and acceptance within a particular society. It is about pretending. The fact that an elite wine only available to a rarified few actually tastes horrible is very much beside the point.
Thanks for mentioning promptfoo. For anyone else who might prefer deterministic, programmatic evaluation of LLM outputs, I've been building this for evaluating prompts and models: https://github.com/typpo/promptfoo

Example asserts include basic string checks, regex, is-json, cosine similarity, etc. (and LLM self-eval is an option if you'd like).
Porsche's Own App Adds New Functionality Within Apple CarPlay
This is a very good thing for gamers. It reminds me of the Sprint/T-mobile merger, which was a huge win for consumers, allowing T-mobile to actually put pressure on ATT and Verizon.

Activision is a terrible company whose iron grip on their beloved IP (bought from Blizzard and Infinity Ward) has been absolutely stifling to the industry. They are almost singlehandedly responsible for everything that sucks about gaming now.
SDI can't do any communication between the source and sink. You can do a limited form if you use two SDI cables (one upstream, one downstream) which is what stuff like BlackMagic's bi-directional micro converter does, but IIRC that's only used for talkback to the camera operator and HDMI CEC messages which is how they implement things like their ATEM Mini consoles triggering recording - not for DDC-style format and framerate negotiations.

Also, device manufacturers don't do SDI on consumer devices because SDI is by definition unencrypted and uncompressed, so it's at odds with HDCP.

As a manager in big tech, it’s fantastic when folks come up with their own ideas. But the hard part is not just coming up with the idea: you have to evangelize it horizontally and vertically, and be open to the possibility that there are valid reasons not to do your idea. Helping folks sell their idea or convincing them it might be a hard sell is part of my job.
Yeah! these are just normal websockets. We're definitely interested in supporting and testing more protocols and ways of accessing postgres and neon as we can. We're also super excited to see the development and adoption of new protocols!
Good idea - but practically, we'd have to raise the minimum wage to make these jobs attractive to young people, and a national infrastructure program would also be needed to provide the financing. Otherwise we'll just continue to slide towards a system of wealthy enclaves surrounded by miles of slums, and slum dwellers can't afford to pay for construction upgrades. Granted, wealthy enclave dwellers will be providing some jobs, but they'll probably be hiring contractors whose workforce consists of cheap immigrant labor, not recent graduates of American high schools.

There are historical examples where electrification was accelerated, e.g. FDR New Deal programs like Rural Electrification and the WPA, but that would entail a complete restructuring of federal government priorities, increased taxes on the wealthy, redirection of military-industrial budgets to domestic infrastructure, etc. Seems unlikely in the current political climate, where oligarchs run both parties like sock puppets.
