I'm a career-long PC guy and had an excellent watercooled "Battlestation". I dipped my toe in with the M1 Mini, then an M1 Max MBP... and my battlestation now has like 1/4" of dust on it. It helps that most of my work anymore is AWS Console or VSCode, which does just fine on either.

There are a few games that it won't play, and..... that's about it. I'm still surprised at how quickly that happened. Worth a try, the M2 mini is cheap and easy, and the 8gb/256gb config was "enough" for me. I honestly didn't even notice the bump moving to the max 64gb/2tb. Doing it over, I'd probably do an Air with 16 or 24gb and be happy as a clam.

By then we will be 3D printing fatty toro sashimi w/out the mercury.
It's pretty cool how quickly we're able to turn a 2D image into a 3D one these days. Although it's not perfect yet, you can see that it doesn't quite capture the depth of the horse and dragon sculpture near the edges. But this technology will definitely improve over time.

Now, here's a thought to chew on: once we've mastered 2D to 3D, what's stopping us from exploring 3D to 4D conversion? That would take this to an entirely new level.
I wonder under which leadership the debt ballooned?

Llama.http: A Dockerized, simple HTTP API for llama.cpp
Simple & straightforward, it's a quick spare-time project designed to enable automation and not as a standalone way to publicly host the models (no rate limiting, persistence or auth). The project README is here: https://github.com/edfletcher/llama.http/tree/master/example...

With the Docker image, it's just a matter of grabbing the model binaries you want, adding a small sidecar JSON [1] describing them and you're up and running.

Really just a porting/re-targeting onto the parent llama.cpp project of the HTTP I'd built on the alpaca.cpp fork awhile back [2] in order to take advantage of all the great new GGMLv3-encoded models, mmap'ed loading, etc.

All I'd ask if you build anything neat on top of it, please share it so I can use it too! Thanks & enjoy

Automate as much as possible. I cannot live without a washing machine, dryer, and dishwasher inside my apartment. I tried once and I just had dirty clothes and dishes all the time. Beyond that I just pay for it! I love in an hoa so I don’t have to do yard work or trash, so cores are minimized as much as possible.
If the consumer sues in small claims court, then the company would need to petition the court to compel arbitration. Large companies (like Apple) sometimes expend what would seem like irrational amounts of money on lawyers to make a statement. So, I wouldn't assume that they would balk at petitioning to compel arbitration.

In terms of the arbitration itself, it is very hard in the US to get an arbitration award overturned. So, wouldn't bank on that.

It's interesting that Porsche put the battery under the driver's seat (in the cabin? unclear). Wonder if that made it more dangerous. Are modern EV batteries also in the passenger area or in their own little armored section...?
You have a sibling comment from PlanetScope that claims ~30-50% profit margin, depending on the quarter.
I think we're going to see a lot of this. I worked in self-driving and the stuff always 95% worked. Never 100.

This is useful in some ways. Thinking about situations like pre-release software testing, there are exploratory test cases that are simply too numerous to ever have a human perform economically. A lot of AI is going to do this kind of very low-valued grunt work where it doesn't matter if it's 90% or 99% correct, it's the fact that it can get done at all. A lot of this work is "additive" in the sense that, it's just too expensive to do today (with a human).

The work product of these systems is best seen as a "rough draft" or "suggestion". It's a first cut, not the last word.

On the other hand, a lot (most?) of the meat-and-potatoes coding done today, is situations where things have to WORK. Stuff where correctness absolutely matters--billing/money/settlement (calculating tax, handling returns, moving money between accounts), a lot of OS code for things like memory management / locking / resource management, drug dosing, reservation management, etc.

Granted, this stuff is a lot more complex and nuanced than the code of an average CRUD app, but then, I also don't spend my days implementing bcrypt, quicksort, or self-synchronizing Unicode parsing. We have libraries for that. The question is whether we're better off relying on agents to write a bunch of grunty code, or come up with better top-level organization / code structures, that doing it "by hand" is the better approach.

I'm actually optimistic that we can do better code-wise. But I'd love to see how things develop. Maybe we wouldn't need AI if we just had better programming languages.
If you write an ISO to a flash drive is it read only? Obviously optical media is inherently read only, but I haven't owned a machine with an optical drive in almost fifteen years and I don't have confidence any way of running an image (aside from a hypervisor) would preserve that property.
Oof, thanks for flagging that. My current live backup method involves Syncthing pointed at that dir, so I'll need to figure out how to get access to the virtual fs location. Honestly, of all the things on my phones, I'd be most devastated to lose Anki scheduling.
CCTV's only purpose for home security is for possible intruder to see it and decide to not intrude. If they come in and you get them in vidi then what? Who will you show it to? Police? What are they going to do?
The phone changed but the carrier and phone number didn't. Pixel's robocall screening was evidently like that meme with the soldier blocking the arrows.
The doctrine of first sale says that companies cannot restrict the second (or later owner) of a thing. You may notice that some books printed in the UK have some wording on the copyright page about how you can't sell the book (nor give it away) without requiring the subsequent owner to follow the same "license". In the US, I can give away a book, or sell it, and no condition that the publisher makes me agree to will apply to the next person.

Physical goods should be required to follow the doctrine of first sale. There should never be any possible conditions on subsequent owners. If the first owner "unlocks" a feature, it should be unlocked for every subsequent owner.
Small Gods and Good Omens are the best starts; then, I'd hit up the Granny Weatherwax books, eg, Equal Rites, Wyrd Sisters, etc.
It strikes me as a far more fundamental shift: up until now I buy something and I own it. In the future I will effectively be renting part of my car. Instead of a one time payment I’m now I’m now required to make monthly payments until the day I stop using my car. That’s a massive difference.

Unless it’s something that requires the car manufacturer to also spend money on an ongoing basis (e.g. a cell data connection or something) it strikes me as absolutely immoral that these companies are going to band together and force this arrangement upon us.
I second the notion that the Elixir documentation is generally great, especially the libraries and ecosystem bits. It is clear it is taken seriously and cared about. The level of pro-activeness of the Elixir core team is definitely something that's noticed and personally draws me to the language.
Yup. Reward early, reward often.

50 small rewards works better than one giant one. Even if the 50 small rewards were just + points TOWARDS getting the one giant one.
It was a dead-end situation as soon as OP agreed to limited liability in the Twitter TOS - sure.

If you want to cause damage though, their insecurities are plain as day; they need user retention. That's why they reach out to butter-up long time users with new account offers and bespoke transitional options. This is your one chance to tell a human at Twitter you're done. That because of this situation you've been put in, you're going to abandon the platform entirely. Take it or leave it.
A major issue with Apple and LLM is that they pledged data

Yeah, it turns out, things never get cheaper or created in greater quantities over time. No history of that ever happening.
Yeah this is ruthless. On the other hand, I feel ok with my present course because the intermittent chance to use new shit is the only thing that keeps me interested anymore. That and the exorbitant pay, I guess.
Related - has anyone listened to the new audiobooks with Bill Nighy, Peter Serafinowicz, and so on? I'm interested because they're unabridged and look like they have very high production values, but they're also quite pricey (understandably so) if you want to buy them and download them permanently.
I'm assuming they mean from the owners of the Nerf brand of foam toys (I think owned by Hasbro nowadays). They could attempt to argue that NerfStudio dilutes the Nerf mark. Not necessarily a frivolous argument and they don't need to show likelihood of confusion in that case.
The office is obsolete. A leftover vestige of the pre-internet age. It was always the place I went to get some new disease or be frozen to death by an aggressive air conditioner while drinking bad coffee. Meanwhile I was constantly blinded by poor lighting choices and had zero privacy.

When Steve Jobs walked out on stage in 2007 and showed us the iPhone, 13-year old me knew _exactly_ what I wanted that device to do. I imagined games, I imagined carrying Facebook Messages in my pocket, I imagined watching movies on the bus to school.

When Apple unveiled the Vision Pro, I said, "huh...neat," and went back to working on some code at work. Later, a coworker mentioned to me that the virtual monitor thing would be cool for working, and I guess it's neat? There just isn't that "oh my god I know _exactly_ what this can do" factor with the Vision Pro. We've gotten past all the obvious applications of mobile tech, and now we're grasping at straws. The Vision Pro is just too niche a device.
What is wrong with PACs?
Political Action Committees. So instead of donating to support a certain candidate against an opponent, you support an issue, you support pro life against pro choice, or you support gay marriage against traditional marriage.
> How did fish manage during the climatic optimum [1] some 8500 to 5500 years ago when it was between 1.5°C and 4°C warmer than it is now

From your wikipedia link:

---8<---

A study in 2020 estimated that the average global temperature during the warmest 200 year period of the HCO, around 6,500 years ago, was around 0.7 °C warmer than the mean for nineteenth century AD.

The HCO consisted of increases of up to 4 °C near the North Pole (in one study, winter warming of 3 to 9 °C and summer of 2 to 6 °C in northern central Siberia).[8] Northwestern Europe experienced warming, but there was cooling in Southern Europe.[9] The average temperature change appears to have declined rapidly with latitude and so essentially no change in mean temperature is reported at low and middle latitudes.

---8<---

So, the effect then was localized to the waters where there's more oxygen anyway, and having temperature going in different directions in different parts of Europe and at a much slower rate than current changes, would make it easier for the fish to migrate? Unclear how water temperatures behaved at different depths though.
> The bottleneck is that the state does a terrible job of handling claims.

That's not the only bottleneck. You also need to have the time and resources to pursue this, and it has to be worth your time. If your employer stole $500 from you, but it will cost you $1000 to get those wages back, it's not worth pursuing it in court. And the cost can be in terms of time that you spend on it.

A lot of wage theft is very small amounts that are individually rarely worth pursuing. They also waste a lot of government resources too, for the same reason.

So maybe individual wage theft shouldn't be a strict liability crime, but at some level, it should rise to criminal charges being brought against the management of the company. If a bunch of your employees have reported wage theft against you, and all you have to do is potentially pay them back just what you stole (as you point out, it's not even a given you'd have to pay it back) -- why would you _not_ skim a bit of your employees wages? Add in a very long statute of limitations for wage theft (say 10 years at a minimum) and the chance for management to spend 5-10 years in the clink, I suspect wage theft will decrease quite a bit.
Symptoms alleviated considerably: task avoidance, distractibility, hyper-fixation, reactivity, perseveration.

I had already achieved quite a lot in the way of symptom management through cognitive behavioral tools and physical exercise, but consistent application of tools and discipline broadly are exactly what ADHDrs often struggle with. Clearly, it's problematic to rely on a treatment for unreliability which is itself unreliable. So good results, but inconsistent.

The guanfacine has been much more stably effective at reducing the general baseline tendencies. For me, like I said, it was a miracle, since like you, but for a different reason, I can't take simulants.
Yeah, otherwise I don't trust it.
Very cool! I grew up and lived in the middle of nowhere, Texas, and didn't even know that there were other people in the world that loved tech and actually got to be "in the trenches" with it! I'm jealous! lol

There's no reason not to write GenServers if you need them. Just don't use them as a class replacement :) But if you need to model some simple runtime state or concurrency, that's what they're there for.

No. All meat in labs is grown in 1.5 L plastic bottles now, and they have like 5 of them in the whole lab.

It may take decades until it's ready to replace meat on the scale and price needed.

We (and the environment) unfortunately don't have that much time.
COVID was never an existential threat. I'm not aware of any pandemic being that, even smallpox or the black death. Where existential means threatening the existence of the human species.
SMS also comes with no deliverability or latency guarantees, and hard to scale globally as rules and regulations are different in every country. Acquiring IDs is slow and you need multiple for backup routes and different use cases.
There's no utility in saying something's value is $100 when nobody will give you $10 for it.
Have you looked into Pathological Demand Avoidance, a subtype of ASD? I was misdiagnosed with ADHD, but a psychologist steered me in the right direction. What you describe, avoiding demands, both external and internal, deeply resonates with me, and something I've struggled with since childhood. In my case it is certainly not ADHD, and stimulants don't get me unstuck, and sometimes they increase my avoidance. Guanfacine really helps, though.

The last one might be because white woman might not be usually specified if she's not contrasted in some way to other races, since white is default in the anglosphere. So in those cases she's more likely just to be called "woman". It's "not ideal" but there you are.

> California tried hiring SNCF to build their high speed rail, but that fell apart because what California wanted was impossible and didn't make sense

The third-party claims about the SNCF proposal mutated a lot in response to evidence that seemed to contradict them, the most recent form of it acknowledging that SNCF publicly supported the CV alignment that the story says they later opposed, and also paints the opposition coming after federal funding waa committed under ARRA tied specifically to specific projects in the Central Valley alignment that SNCF America was said to have then opposed.
AIs writing content for AIs to parse so that writing content for AIs is easier to rank higher for AIs?
I get about 230 miles of range in our model 3, my wife gets about 270. Head winds actually effect range far more than you’d expect, and the difference between 65 and 75 is dramatic. There is a reason Teslas have no door handles for aerodynamics, and it’s not because they secretly have shitty range.

It’s a bit of a stretch to say Tesla lied to customers here. I’d probably say Tesla didn’t carefully enough explain the laws of physics to uninformed customers is more accurate a statement.
> The only intervention I know of that shows robust results preventing Alzheimers is having been recently vaccinated. It doesn't seem to matter much for what, but several population studies, involving tens of thousands of patients and controlling for lifestyle confounders, show a reliable 40% reduction in dementia risk for people recently vaccinated for TDaP. Nobody will talk about it, apparently because it is embarrassing to have no clue why it works. (Pressed, people mumble about inflammation.) And, of course, no money is spent figuring it out, or figuring out why vaccination doesn't seem to help the other 60%.

Source? This sounds like a theory I would've seen here before.
> So either the generated model has to be a finished product, or they are cost-effectively useless.

Not really. Depending on the use case and adequate tools it can be much faster to the alternative of making these manually as meshes and textures.

Using the banana as an example, if this can be converted to a volumetric model (voxels) the puffied side can be shaved off using sculpting tools and the model be converted to a mesh much faster than making it from scratch. While the end result wouldn't be good for looking at it up front, it can be perfectly viable for background props in a game, especially something that is viewed from a bird's eye view or a drawn out third person perspective (though even up front it'll look better than what you see in some games[0] - and that is AAA).

In fact there have been several games using photogrammetry already to construct 3D models out of taking photos of real places from various angles and converting them to point clouds and then to meshes - which after that they need to be cleaned up by artists. This all takes time, is costly and needs specialized hardware and software and yet developers do it. The linked paper is about a method that significantly lowers those barriers while giving decent results even if they still need to be edited.

I think I might be able to embrace optimism after the next presidential race in 2024 (in the US). Once we get past that date, it will either unleash optimism or sink it. Or maybe just keep things ever in debate. But regardless, the next race is going to shift our society, I believe.
Have you tried? I knew my v6 block (and static addresses within that, which is like two: router and server) back when I used v6 ten years ago, same as I know my v4 address, without really actively learning either

For sure this is a self-hoster thing, where you have pets not cattle, but so is memorizing your v4 address(es)

It's like sayinig people would be switching off of Facebook or Twitter. It's really hard to disengage the general audience.

With that said, I did in fact switch to Firefox in 2023. I still unfortunately need google translate on mobile, but once Firefox can get those add on features out of beta it will be a pretty seemless transition.
Excellent news. Now to see how well it holds up.

A search engine index is an economic exchange between the website and the publisher.

To massively (over)simplify the argument to its essence (and ignore other important points): the publisher goes through the trouble and expense of creating the content
The publisher then allows its content to be copied by a search engine only because being shown in search results gets it traffic back. The traffic it gets in return has value, and the publisher is happy for this arrangement to continue as long as the value of the traffic is more than the cost of producing and serving the content.

Brave offering a "license", for its own financial benefit, to "allow" others to use the content for LLM training gives zero benefit to the original publisher. This is why I use words like "sleazy" to describe Brave's position.

This argument applies to Google and Microsoft. Right now both are failing at citing sources in their generative AI search results. That is terrible and I hope it's fixed soon, as otherwise they're being sleazy scrapers as much as Brave is.

Finally, I wholeheartedly disagree they what Brave is doing is for the "greater good". The fact they charge extra for the "license" to use the content for LLM training shows that.
This is highly cursed.

Chances are that the expansion of the sun will have stripped away the weather, along with the roof, the house, and any of the lighter elements of the Earth’s surface.
If Apple built a good copilot to help automate tasks on my Mac, I'd pay for a subscription. Kind of like a successor to Mac Automator but smarter and powered by AI.
