Mammal brains don't every turn off. They are always learning. If you've ever gone to sleep (if you haven't, let me know), or observed any animal sleeping, you'll notice that this machine is able to create highly realistic simulations of its environment (aka: dream). Both people and dogs wake up from nightmares and for a bit have trouble distinguishing reality. My cat does this with a tiny 30g brain. (Even a hamster sleeps and dreams) She even simulates her environment while awake and you can see complex decision processing. How she can predict the path that objects will take in the air, be able to predict the location of a moving object even as it goes behind a wall. She is even able to update this belief with other clues like sound or using a mirror. She quickly is able to update her behavior if I try to trick her. She can do this invariant to colors, rotation, novel lighting dynamics, novel environments, and under many more conditions. When I move to a new place I can drop her in the litterbox after I first take her out of her cage, she'll run to find somewhere to hide, and then trivially navigate back to it when she needs to use it, without any prodding. She may be stubborn and not want to perform some tricks sometimes, but that doesn't mean she hasn't learned them.

These are far more complex tasks than many give credit for, and there are a lot more that she can do (even that dumb fucking hamster). Just because she can't speak doesn't make her intelligent, the same way that just because GPT does doesn't make it. What's key here is the generalization part. Yeah, there are failures, but clearly my cat's intelligence is highly generalized. You don't throw her off by minor perturbations of the environment. If I change the bowl that her food gets poured into, she still comes running, and can differentiate this from a bowl of cereal. She's robust to orientation of an object or even herself. We don't see remotely this robustness in ANY AI systems. While they can do impressive things, we still haven't beaten that fucking hamster.
Can I use rust with polars for explorative data analysis?

I feel like its the data exploration that locks me into Pandas, and I kinda want out.
Do you really think the world is neatly divided into good and evil?
I love best practices, and I'm even a fan of cargo cult development to a certain degree, staying with what's tested, reducing novelty, making things repeatable and declarative, choosing a million line framework over 1000 I'm house lines.... But it's not worth trying to maintain your own Ansible in your own custom language with a GUI in your own GUI toolkit, just to avoid some ugly hacks and workarounds you'd need if you just used the popular tool.
It's interesting, I'm one of what I presume is a small number of people that have conversed extensively over my life about subsidiarity, mostly on the context of subsidiarity and sphere sovereignty a rather niche area of theology.

Most Catholics, even highly engaged western catholics are not aware of subsidiarity. It's ~commonly/known term and catholic juxtaposition cited by theological/historical non-conformists in church polity and discussions around separation of church and state.
This video seemed to have pretty good performance actually, but I've seen articles where the car just gets stuck, makes unsafe maneuvers or just violates laws and this guy (whole mars catalogue) defends it. Watching prior videos shows it fail to yield to stop lights, stop in the middle of intersections or just total incompetence about highway etiquette (such as the highly watched SF -> LA video (in this video the whole highway is dubious, also violations at 1:18, 1:24, 1:30, maybe 17:24, probably others I missed... 3 in the span of 15 seconds)). I'm not at the point where I trust this thing.
And you can still use composable queries if you still want to (equivalent to Rail’s named scopes).
Google makes it easier to remove your info, explicit images from search
You need to up the ante by making it only work every 20-40 pictures.
This really wouldn't be that big of a leap to make. I remember seeing a behind the scenes special years ago about one of the star wars prequels. They'd have like a half dozen people in a wookie suit and then basically use software to copy and paste those people into an army. That was years ago. I imagine the only reason why they don't use pure AI now is that its cheaper to pay an extra their day rate and film them in costume to use as an initial template for cgi copy and pasting, than it is to pay a cgi artist to make that initial template extra design and copy and paste that. Maybe AI now changes that math.
I am not a fan of modern movies. More and more, movies look visually artificial. Like they try to make it look too aesthetically pleasing with no flaws. Most look like they are done in a studio with green screen.

But I must be in the minority bc the whatever-marvel-movie part 8 sells a lot of tickets.

I think for folks like me, there will still be a market for real actors in real scenes. Especially for live theatre / broadway. I refuse to let Disney choke me with fast-food visuals and marketing gimmicks.
They'd have to install them before you even get the parts then, right? Otherwise they'll just install them on your virtual tpm. I know apple does that because they own their own chip fabs and have limited (relatively) production runs, but i don't think google is going to manually etch a unique (and it has to be unique otherwise it'll leak) private key into the silicon of every single tpm for mobile and desktop ever. Or are they planning to only allow you to access websites on Google made hardware, and cut out 90% of the world's population?
Yes, just make sure to completely remove yourself from work (and other chores).

If you bring your laptop with you and keep doing stuff in it, it doesn't count.
I wonder how long we'll have to wait for them to be used in porn.

Good, but we need more alternative search engines, even very niche ones.
Ever since Hollywood started using the more modern but still manual "de-aging" tech, as seen in "The Irishman" - I've kept thinking: Consumer-grade deep turned out better. I remember when deep fakes became mainstream, some youtube hobbyist showcased his deep fake de-aging of Robert DeNiro, compared to what the movie makers did - and the deep fake looked better.

One problem was that DeNiro - while still a fine actor - was a man in his mid 70s trying to portray a man in his 20s/30s, as seen in the somewhat cringy fight scene.

So why not just do this: Get some cheap no-name actor / double do the acting, and let DeNiro license his face to the movie.

FWIW, I don't like that idea - but it seems to make sense? Especially with actors that are long gone. That's already been done. Speech synthesis is also becoming pretty remarkable, so you can also provide voice.

In fact, I'm surprised this tech hasn't completely taken over dubbing yet. Both the deep fake tech to get the right mouth movement, and speech synthesis to match the voice.

Anyway, I think that in 5-10 years this will be case. Unless SAG-AFTRA is powerful enough the curb that kind of use of tech.
Changing hardware would mean a recall and this doesn’t seem to warrant it.
Do you feel the same knowing that a company can steal your thought patterns, keystrokes, likeness in manner of speech and thought and appearance, and build an AI that codes about as good as you or will one day, without giving you a dime or needing you? Effectively cutting off your legs too since you won't even be able to monetize your own likeness anymore since they can just preempt you in that area too, via alterations to the likeness.

It's not just Hollywood extras who are victims here - it's everyone.
I'm not sure 'MS charged $800 more for NT server when it was basically the same as NT', given how much they're known for unfair and fraudulent business practices, is the greatest argument.

Expecting capitalism to be fair is probably where we're all going wrong here.
But it looks like shit and we can really tell the difference.

Case in point go watch the latest Top Gun movie. Sooo much better visually.
I am slowly turning into this person and I am not sure how I feel about that.
Maybe the S3 can afford to add more insulation compared to the Model 3? I mean Teslas aren't known for good road noise isolation so if they do reduce battery weight they can add some more for the insulation for example.
I'm not sure where you're getting $20k/month for on-prem from. The number in my post for on-prem for a pair of servers, which is grossly underestimated, was $1,130/mo, amortized. Still, $1M in servers, over 5 years is $200k/yr, or $16k/month, not including hosting costs for that size of a system. Equinix is the gold standard, but they're what one would call expensive.

Mind throwing out some numbers you think are realistic for "racks at a time"?

After reviewing the feedback (some of it from yall here), we recognize the challenges with using the term Open Source. We've posted a statement about this mistake and are working on improving things going forward:

https://blog.sentry.io/lets-talk-about-open-source/

For the folks who provided constructive criticism, we thank you.
So, like Amazon used their de facto book sales monopoly to get into cloud hosting? How Microsoft used their huge desktop & office software market share to get into cloud hosting? How IBM used their huge typewriter market share to get into computers? It's normal for large companies to use their revenue to expand into new market segments.
Seconded.

Something like 2x or 4x RP2040 with an unified bus in the same chip. Twice or four times more I/O as well.
So, you spent a lot of time finding the “correct” and “original” version, and then proceeded to change it yourself? Why? Those pixels were red and orange originally, and that might have been the artist’s intention.

shouldn't it be:

'; DROP TABLE "COMPANIES";--

?

ie. end the single quote first, so that searching by the text would be:

SELECT * FROM "COMPANIES" WHERE "NAME" = ''; DROP TABLE "COMPANIES";--'
You can thank the EPA for that. The gov mandates that vehicles achieve a certain calculated efficiency, or there’s an extra fee/fine attached to the vehicle. Reasonable enough, right?

Unfortunately the way this is calculated is absolutely fucking retarded. Basically, the larger the wheelbase of vehicle, the lower fuel efficiency the vehicle can get away with.

This is why these fucking things keep ballooning in size, have a dogshit turning radius, and are causing an epidemic of frontovers and backover accidents killing or injuring thousands of children every year because there’s no up close visibility.

Old small trucks can actually command a premium because of this bullshit. Very few people actually like these huge stupid boats, but there’s just nothing else to buy when you need an actual work vehicle.

Please consider contacting your legislators and putting this on their radar, and keeping it there.

I don't get it. Is a tape measure invalid because height varies over the course of a day?
even reference would be sufficient if access were not controlled and denied under the guise of protecting people.

the problem is the source medical data itself is insufficiently cleansed. (if it can be at all.)

ideally the medical data is open source, but only contains what’s necessary, and not what’s sensitive.

that is, obviously, messy…
Ah, but where's the challenge in that?
This line of reasoning is what is used to justify lock-in and anti-right to repair legislation. Following this reasoning you shouldn’t be allowed to change a flat tire on your car as it could be improperly tightened and fly off at speed.

Technical constraints to lock out owners/users only serve to enforce a manufacturer’s feudalistic rent seeking and revenue extraction policies.

In the overall scope of driving a personal automobile cellphone use or even adjusting the car entertainment system are far more common causes of accidents and death and yet these are not locked away via technical controls despite being very easy to accomplish.
I feel like that's quite a stretch of the word comparable.

The Model 3 is 14% heavier than the Audi: https://www.edmunds.com/car-comparisons/?veh1=401999985&veh2...

500+ miles means I can just charge up on the weekend and not be bothered with it during the week. I'd pay for that convenience.
> Wake is inference.

I'm not sure how anyone could be this naive. Mammal brains don't have this train mode inference mode. They are both running at all times. If what you said was true, if I taught you something today you wouldn't be able to perform that action till tomorrow. Hell, schools would be an insane concept if this were true. Try to think a bit more before confidently stating an answer.
I'm paying $1K for a CAD license because I can't write a CAD program myself. I can easily change a 0 to a 1, why should I pay $1K (or however much) for a piece of software that does this?
> On the other, people expect most things to be a "live service" in terms of updates

Do they? Most people I know don't want anything to update as long as it's working. They don't want new features. They don't want new UI changes. They'll dismiss/ignore prompts to update for as long as they possibly can. In very very rare cases people want "live service". They want their GPS to give them traffic information for example, but otherwise they don't want anything but bug fixes.

Photoshop for example doesn't need to be constantly updated and a version of photoshop from 10-15 years ago would be just fine for the vast majority of people. The idea that software has to either be insanely expensive or a subscription is a false dichotomy.
> they directly send the public Google DNS servers to all clients as part of their DHCP replies!

Why is that a problem for your use case?

> hundreds or thousands of devices, all of them hooked to the same public Wi-Fi network

I expect you to run a dns cache/resolver at that scale and not freeload. You have plenty of customers/employees and must be making enough money.
You almost understood the point.

The DMCA is a problem because putting copy protection on (for example) heated seats is a similar level of silliness to outlawing black markers.
Well no, use a local DNS resolver.
If anything, scaling Elixir apps favors vertical scaling. Horizontal scaling starts hitting the limits of dist erlang (since, unless you restrict the topolog, every node connects with every other node).

It makes for an interesting time when deploying to Kubernetes. But we figured out how to increase the number of cores per erl node during peak daily traffic.

I’m working for a Nodejs shop now. For all its use of async stuff, it simply does not scale as well as Elixir (not to mention the deep dysfunctions in the Nodejs ecosystem).
I'm still trying to find a way to use the IM FELL typeface on my terminal emulator. It just feels.... right

If having someone's likeness requires, by Federal law, consent in the form of a licensing agreement where the person receives compensation then that's more okay.

I would still prefer a full ban on this. Maybe it'd be okay if theater or non-CGI film end up becoming their own booming industries owing to people enjoying being together in a place and seeing the limits of modern practical effects. With these deep-fake films and shows being labeled as "CGI" and letting the market decide.

>The manufacturing cost between a car with heated seats and without headset seats is functioningaflly meaningful.

You could probably buy something that would heat your seat at home for under $4 on Temu. And that includes multiple middle companies and shipping across the ocean. It probably costs them pennies, where the upside is, this owner doesn't want heated seats, but a car can easily have 2-3 owners in its first 10 years. maybe the 2nd and 3rd owners will want the heated seats, worth the money it would take to install it
IANAL. It seems like it should probably be covered anyway, without the notification. Assumed consent would cover updates and improvements. No-one is consenting to their car being crippled, surely.
Hidden as in it's not available normally, or hidden as in it's a paid feature?
My Honda has heated seats. I bought the car in Hawaii and brought it to Socal with me. I didn't care about heated seats when I got the car at all. It just came with my trim. It was nice having it when I went skiing but I would never remember to turn on a premium service for one ski trip and then turn it back off. For a premium car I'd resent it on my ride up the mountain. It would ruin the experience for me entirely just because of how much I'd overthink the cost value benefit in my head. It would seriously make me unreasonably upset. Hard pass on any car that charges monthly for it.
The effectiveness of using Discord for your community is a fact that undermines the community's only purpose. You use Discord as a stepping stone because it works, but if you don't prioritize moving off of it to an effective replacement above any and all more costly efforts and issues, it's hard to believe in the authenticity of purpose.

I'm not implying here that you are not prioritizing moving on (how would I know), or planning to use that movement as an case study to sell local/P2P-first to others, but if you all are not that's going to be a permanent blot.
This is a story about exorbitantly rich actors. It impacts nobody else whatsoever, and if it does it's less than 1% of the total impact. The extras angle is just there so you will side with the actors over the studio. Otherwise you might get a very rich actor arguing with a only-sorta-rich studio exec, and then the public doesn't know who to side with.
> understanding the mechanisms of inflamation is about as close to figuring out aging as figuring out amyloid plaques got us to cure Alzeihmers

While I agree understanding inflammation is only the very beginning of a long, long journey, comparing it to amyloid plaques is disingenuous: the latter was literally outright fraud. There's no reason (yet, anyway) to think these researchers are literally fraudulent like the Alzheimer's researchers were.

> there is a big chance there is a science Winter coming straight after this Summer

Why? Pure regression to the mean? "Science" is an unfathomably vast enterprise and there's no reason to think a breakthrough in one or two areas must be followed by a quiescence in all others.

Its definitely going to lead to some pushback I think. People crave the bespoke and the niche. Films that bother shooting in 70mm see these showings booked up a month out because there's so much demand for something a little bit more refined. It just depends on the willingness of money to invest into these things, and that tends to ebb and flow over time. Right now we seem to be at a highly commercialized crossroads with what sorts of films are being produced, but maybe in the future the pendulum will shift again and we will see something like Reservoir Dogs from the next Tarantino.
Looking forward to the future Vegas Catacombs tourism.
American Indians were right... nobody should own the land.

The British Royal family and the Catholic Church... those lands were stolen and should be returned to the people.

Given that most of that list is meat farms, that would be a lot of forests, a lot of carbon storage, and a lot of biodiversity.

No, it's not. Most people engaging in scientific papers are not themselves scientists in the field. Further, their enthusiasm doesn't change reality. LK-99 is or is not a superconductor. People getting overly excited doesn't change that. Lighten up.

> Very interesting - I like how Microsoft has changed from testing their own software to making their own users dogfood it for free!

That's not the point of this article. This article proves that Microsoft still has a lot of internal testers testing things that Microsoft hopes are never leaked publicly. The software that leaked was an internal tester-only tool. It wasn't supposed to leak to outside testers ("Insiders").
Yes, exactly... :)

You can also create callbacks (i.e. function pointers to bash code) that you can pass to qsort() or bsearch()... or pthread_create? That last one was a joke, I mean, you probably could but I don't know what would happen - I don't think bash is reentrant :)
I agree. We've also discussed on HN recently that some important medicines are produced in only 1 or 2 factories.
That can't have been a thing?
