I would love for the 27" iMac to make a comeback or for it to replaced with a 6k 32" bigger brother, with one big caveat: it absolutely needs to be usable as a dumb monitor.

The reduced cable mess that comes with iMacs is amazing and over the years some of my favorite machines have been iMacs, but with how much screen panel quality has improved, it's non-optional for the display to be usable independent of the computer. Unfortunately this hasn't been possible ever since iMacs were upgraded from 2560x1440 panels to 5120x2880 panels, originally due to cable bandwidth limitations but that's no longer an issue.

The Studio Display is already very close to being an iMac already, complete with super overengineered flat PSU and cooling system… just swap out its A13 SoC with an M2 Pro and add a few ports and you've got a very nice VESA mountable desktop computer.

the actual examples I give are just that, examples. why not numbers that can only be produced as the sum of 17 primes? or 459? or numbers that have the same number of factors as their digits added together does? there are infinite of these constraints that can be invented. why is this one particularly interesting
Lol. Political dissent wasn't tolerated in the 1900s (wanna strike? You'll probably get shot), in the 1910s (why are you not in a trench dying for your country?), in the 1920s (striking again? Will get shot again), in the 1930s (reading the news? That's a Jewish thing, isn't it?), in the 1940s (why are you not in a trench dying for your country?), in the 1950s (reading the news? That's a communist thing, isn't it?), in the 1960s (long hair? That's a communist thing, isn't it?), in the 1970s (studying? That's a communist thing, isn't it?), in the 1980s (worrying about nuclear Holocaust? That's a communist thing, isn't it?), in the 1990s (bitching about globalization? Here's some anti-riot gear to the face), in the 2000s (why are you not in Afghanistan dying for your country?), in the 2010s (got a video of brown people getting murdered? Your life is over)...

Political dissent was never tolerated. Some generations just claimed their right to it a bit harder than others, and even then it was always a minority doing it - most people (including me, more often than not) will just trade political cowardice for a quiet life. That's all there is. Just don't pretend that it's the result of some fine analysis - it's just plain cowardice.
Some people believe in data like other people believe in God.

Data is meaningless without context and without knowing how reliable it is.

PSA tests, for example, provide data that sent a lot of people to an early grave, or to years of unnecessary treatment and anxiety.
Yikes, yep, most of these brokers have strict cloudflare settings that block you if you use Tor or a VPN, are outside the US, or disable js.

We'd like Cloudflare to be a little more helpful, but they just let harmful sites block people who don't want to share their info / location / browser fingerprint under the guise of 'stopping bots'.

Or to put it another way.

Everyone has incomplete information. If you bid more than everyone else it's because one of the following is true.

1. It is more valuable to you than anyone else.

2. Everyone else is mistakenly undervaluing it

3. You are mistakenly overvaluing it

If you don't have inside information, or have a unique reason why it is worth more to you than anyone else. Then 3 is far more likely than 2.

You can if you're a school!

The feature has existed for years, Apple just won't let you use it because they'd rather sell separate devices to every family member.

For all the talk about environmentalism and their elaborate phone recycling robots, they're not too concerned about the "reduce" part of "reduce, reuse, recycle." Never mind that it's the most important one that you're supposed to do before the others.

EDIT - I'm aware a local users system without a network login system would require a slightly different implementation from schools, but a small 2.8 trillion dollar company like Apple could figure it out if they wanted to

It’s nice, but also expensive along with competing products like Leuchtturm and Moleskin. I personally enjoy the Minimalism Art notebooks that are 30% less in price than these brands and similar in quality.
Shipping bad code fast and with little understanding isn't really what I'm talking about. I would say the kind of frontend developers you're describing lack hubris; the ones I'm talking about (which are all over the stack but I would say somewhat concentrated in the middleware-to-commodity-backend, Spring Boot, etc. area) lack laziness.
nice result! I've been looking into benchmarking models recently, it would be interesting to run your model through on the same battery of tests [https://github.com/emrgnt-cmplxty/zero-shot-replication/blob...]
Does anyone ever think about why Apple is involved in creating TV Series?
I know Apple has been part of entertainment media in last decades with ipod and such. But the "why" part of how a great hardware company like Apple, produces Tv Shows so we get distracted enough is like a lot more dystopian if anyone thinks about it.

Following this, in this decade Nvidia will produce or acquire a company that creates in house AI movies, I mean why not?
For the AI/Robot tax, the pessimistic view is that the legal state of the world is such that such tax can and will be evaded. Now not only the LLMs put humans out of a job because an LLM or a SD model mimicks their work, but the financial gains have now been hidden away in tax havens through tax evasion schemes designed by AIs. And even if through some counter-AIs we manage to funnel the financial gains back to the people, what is now the incentive for capital owners to invest and keep investing in cutting-edge AI, if the profits are now so meagre to justify the investment?
maybe radiology has so many scans of various types over the last 50+ years that there is already a sense for how weird "normal" can be.
I wrote a 160,000 word book this year on an iPad Air with smart keyboard (I find how the pro keyboard doesn't fold all the way back to allow holding the iPad landscape too big of an annoyance to buy one). I think it's a brilliant device, and while limited, does do some things better than the Mac - annotating PDFs and ebooks with the Pencil being one of them. Also nice to hold a document one is working on in landscape so that it looks like it's on paper, yet remains interactive. Yeah I get it's kind of hamstrung and annoyingly clunky in a way that you'd think apple could resolve, but still think as a device it's pretty remarkable, and still got loads of potential for getting better, somehow.

I think I'm going to try laying out my next book using Affinity Publisher - I used the Mac version to lay out the last one so hope I can do the same while finding benefits for doing so with my little paddy.

One other side benefit is that the iPad somehow seems incongruous - with a laptop out in public you're "working" yet with an iPad you're somehow perceptually not.

Plus, iPad coupled with Library Genesis is awesome. Totally awesome. Yeah I'm a terrible libertarian pirate, but it's just incredible. Better than the libraries I've paid a fortune for as part of my education. Heaps better than the annoying tedium of logging in to various publishers and databases and subscriptions via a library website to then use a locked-down epub in a horrible and further locked down DRM e-reader, every one of which I've ever tried is basically an abomination.
It absolutely would help train AI. We have a huge amount of CT and little MRI.
I mean, this is like the moon landing — private companies can build the technology, but it's not going to get deployed at scale unless a government sponsors it, because there's not a clear path to profit.

And like, is congress going to spend $10B deploying this at scale? That would be great, but they can't even pass a budget.
Seems plausible. So what's up with the wealthy? They do not care? They do not know? They get talked into it by greedy physicians? Or is the story more likely just not true?
Things missing about the DSA from the Guardian article as well as wikipedia:

the DSA also requires mandatory cell phone registration for pornographic content creators, posing a threat to digital privacy. Also, no further improvements were made to ensure the independence of "trusted" flaggers of content, which can be law enforcement agencies or biased copyright industry associations. Even worse, non-judicial authorities can order the removal of problematic content and request platforms to hand over sensitive user information without proper fundamental rights safeguards. - https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/01/dsa-eu-parliaments-pos...

What is this "problematic" content? Per wikipedia, Swedish MEP Jessica Stegrud argued that the DSA's focus on preventing the spread of disinformation and "harmful content" would undermine freedom of speech. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Services_Act

"Disinformation and harmful content", meaning harmful content that is accurate is also prohibited by this act? And presumably all EU member states agree on which content is accurate but harmful? Is there a list somewhere describing this accurate but harmful content?
Reminds me of the number my son invented when he was 4. A killion. It's a number "so big, ya die."
If the dox are accurate, I found the press release. We're looking at:

> In addition to the prison sentence, [name], [age], of [location], was sentenced to [y] years of supervised release and ordered to pay [r] in restitution and [f] in forfeiture.

lol, you wordsmith. "Wasn't incarcerated" indeed. You got both probation and restitution after all.

This sentence was handed to him for a yearslong operation involving reselling of access to stolen credentials (running a platform that injected them into curl requests and submitted them to the destination on behalf of his own clients, I assume), and an extortion attempt (a shakedown over the vulnerability that facilitated this?), with the stated impact of:

> One of the [victims] sustained losses of approximately $[m] million

I recognize that claimants always exaggerate those numbers. So you made lot of money doing something illegal and have been ordered to pay it back. You can't escape garnishment for this, not even through bankruptcy, and you will be making things right over time. The crime itself, big fucking deal. You didn't kill anybody through reckless negligence. We all do dumb shit in our youth, and my own company wastes way more than that YoY on legit-but-broken SaaS products.

So here's some constructive criticism: you are clearly a competent developer. Stop with the lies-by-omission and reframing of the situation and own what you did. Your lying about it is earning you those rejections, because there's only one way to respond to deception of this magnitude. Even if you slip past screening, anyone in Payroll who sees a multimillion-dollar garnishment order against you (or anyone who Googles your goddamn name) may ask questions, so you'll always be on borrowed time. Get ahead of the narrative by owning it. "Yes, I did this, it was a dumb idea when I was a stupid kid who didn't know any better, but I've learned my lesson." The "trust-me-I'm-autistic" stuff is deplorable-- cut that shit out.
Orrrrr they didn't want to rely on/have to pay the exorbitant costs that 3rd-party (e.g. the incumbent studios) would be charging...?
Got it, thanks - and thanks for the model! I'd be interested in the results if anyone benchmarks without sampling.

A good question. Japan came out and declared that copyright does not apply to training AI.

Yes, orthopedics has gone down this road. Intervention based only on imaging does not have the best outcomes. Not every abnormality is cause for alarm. Using genetic profiling and family history to decide who to check for conditions is not merely for the benefit of the at-risk; it is also to protect those who might show false positives from unnecessary interventions.

The #1 purpose of such wall warts is to provide safety by means of galvanic isolation (in use, any part you can touch on wall wart or device it powers, has no direct electrical connection to HV side). That's where a transformer comes in.

When using a transformer, the voltage conversion comes 'free'. Modern electronics makes this smaller, lighter & using less metal (not more reliable, btw ;-)

On the generation side (for example rooftop solar), it isn't a big deal to have 1, powerful, high-efficiency converter.

And commercial honey producers also see no romance in what they do.

We're switching to top-bar hives, and after that it will be comb honey only, because I don't want to bother extracting honey if it's not in Langstroth frames, and I don't want any more Langstroth. I'm thinking I'll still have some Langstroth supers because, well, I don't kill bees when inspecting supers or harvesting, it's when I get into the deeps that killing bees becomes almost impossible to avoid, and if that works out I think that will yield better-looking comb honey. I'm done with plastic foundation, too, and therefore also with centrifugal extractors.
One serious problem is that only a limited set of PC keyboard keys and key combinations are available in that setup (mapped from the local keyboard). It works in a pinch, using the Windows on-screen keyboard when necessary, but I found it impractical for regular work,

A man goes into court not sure how he got there or what he's accused of. The judge starts saying the opening formalities. "If and only if every member of the jury is convinced you are guilty then this court will convict you." The man looks around. "Your honor, there are no members of the jury." The judge slams the gavel hard. "Guilty". That's the trivial case.

The problem is that you're mixing two things:

> Whenever you go to buy your daily bread, or get a haircut, you do not need to stick to the same vendor

This is absolutely not possible with non-commodities. If you want that YT producer's stuff, you have to go to them. You cannot switch to another "vendor".

> or sign a contract with them, or otherwise care about ongoing relationship

Well, that's certainly true, but I'm not sure what it really means given that you cannot switch suppliers.
Are you planning to switch to programming-language optimized model inside Phind? So, if a user is asking for something related to Python, that the python-optimized model gets used?

If so:

The Object Pascal language is completely out of fashion, and the most non-hyped language there is. However, there are hundreds of thousands of active users of Delphi, FreePascal and Lazarus. And due to the language being stable for over 20 years, there also is a gigantic amount of highest-quality code available. As most of it is neither on Github nor StackOverflow, Pascal code is dramatically underrepresented in GPT3.5, GPT-4 - and therefore also in Phind.

I'd like to finally be able to use AI-assisted programming with Pascal.

In case you are interested in that, I would be willing to internally pay for the work to prepare a good dataset of high quality code with comments/context/prompts.

If you are not interested, is there any chance that you are going to release the code and toolchain used to fine-tune CodeLlama, so I could do it myself?
You don't have to. It's only if you want the blue checkmark.

I glossed over this the first time around, and it seems like others did too, but once you add the following constraint, it takes many languages off the table -- Java, basically all Lisps, Julia, OCaml, etc.

> Ability to use static dispatch, static field offsets and stack allocation.

> Control over memory layout - at minimum being able to express arrays-of-structs without pointer soup.

---

So reading between the lines a bit, I believe the author is asking for an REPL'd, interpreted, and fast running Go, Swift, Rust, C++, or Zig. (which to me is an interesting problem -- I basically use shell as my REPL for C++)

OCaml with new value types would qualify, and Java with value types would qualify, but they're not there yet AFAIK.

I think Julia/Clasp can get that kind of performance in some cases, but it's not predictable performance, with language control.

Well, it's not as if wealthy people are any different from the average Joe. They may go on HN instead of FB for their medical advice (and I've seen these sorts of scans advocated in comments here, to be clear), but that doesn't mean they have any more knowledge of outcomes for these screenings. What they do have is a knowledge of their own (and parents') mortality and means to do anything they can to prevent it. Buy a bunker in NZ, try to build a base on the moon, or spend a couple grand on a frivolous scan? Rich people gonna rich people.

Yes, the medical system in the US is for-profit and fee-based. Medical providers make money by building small businesses which do a lot of procedures. Here is another very expensive, uncovered procedure for them to bill.
