Either works, but trust me, the trinocular part is far superior, ergonomically. You do need to know whether you want a metalurgical scope or a compound light transmission scope. The former is good at looking at opaque samples, the latter for transparent samples (biological stuff mostly).

I've read this a few times and I can't figure out what this is supposed to mean. What are you trying to ask here?
It is, connected over PCIe.
well, i mean any games that require online access even if they are not multiplayer.

i am just trying to understand how that would work.

as far as i can tell there is really no reason for this not to work as long as those games don't use steam services that require an active steam login.

i can run multiple steam multiplayer games in parallel on the same machine, so why shouldn't i be able to do this on multiple machines? the same as if i buy multiple games independently. steam, and any other platform is a game license manager. as steam allows me to use one license for a game on multiple machines, it should not be a licensing problem to play a different game on a different machine on the same account.

i don't have steam on multiple machines so i can't test it, but what i could test is that games are able to access the network even if steam is offline.

what doesn't work in offline mode is logging into games that use the steam account as identification, or that connect the game account to the steam account. but even those do seem to continue to work if the steam client goes offline after logging in. games that do not use the steam account should allow logging in even from offline mode.
That would be less fun though

And trailing commas on final list elements and object properties.
Yeah, there's a little bit of flex there for sure. An example that recently came up for me at work was being able to take request:response pairs from networking events and turn them into a distributed trace. You can absolutely get an LLM to do that, but it's very slow and can mess up sometimes. But you can also do this 100% programmatically! The LLM route feels a little easier at first but it's arguably a bad application of the tech to the problem. I tried it out just for fun, but it's not something I'd ever want to do for real.

(separately, synthesizing a trace from this kind of data is impossible to get 100% correct for other reasons, but hey, it's a fun thing to try)

The clock does wrap at the top though, mostly. If you watch the green/teal hand do a full rotation, the moment it hits the top, the number on the dark-purple hand will increment by 1. Same goes for every other pair of hands.

The problem is just that signed integers don't wrap at 0, they wrap at whatever their min/max point is - which, hopefully, my clock helps convey, along with the accompanying text. I think flipping it 180 degrees would make it less consistent overall. Maybe I'll add some more words to the blog post, heh

Very similar in nature yes - we had a few rather spectacular results using only techniques from the 80s and earlier.

A lot of the revolution is coming from material scientists doing the work of creating data sets that encode their knowledge, better computational techniques in the field (e.g. DFT[0]), and democratization of petabyte scale data pipelines.

I was wondering the same thing, definitely seems like generating the raw waveform runs into all kinds of weird issues (like they touched on in this post). I would imagine that training data would be a serious chokepoint here. Given how much discourse is currently kicking off around the intellectual property rights of just the final product (the mastered track), I can't imagine many musicians would be eager to share what is effectively the "proof of ownership" (track stems or MIDIs).
That's ok, they got their sound bites in, and walking it back won't make any impact on the people who made "Musk is a Traitor!" trend on social media. That's the way propaganda works these days.

About the speed, the idea is that if you break down the task, you can very often use much smaller models for the component tasks. LLMs are approaching prediction tasks under an extremely difficult constraint: they don't get to see many labelled examples. If you relax that constraint and just use transfer-learning, you can get better accuracy with much smaller models. The transfer-learning pipeline can also be arranged so that you encode the text into vectors once, and you apply multiple little task networks over the shared representation. spaCy supports this for instance, and it's easy to do when working directly with the networks in PyTorch etc.
No one cares. Most people don't use the USB cable to transfer to their iPhone anyways, because it automatically backs up to iCloud every day wirelessly, and there really isn't any reason to transfer data to an iPhone via cable.

The few random people who do are probably videographers looking to transfer their large video files and buying the pro models anyways.

Even android users probably aren't paying attention to what speed their USB was.

I'm shocked that is even a selling point. I've been using an iPhone and iPad for about 8 years and never transferred data this way. I've only used usb for midi or keyboard inputs where data speed was not a factor.
The researchers are basically telling you that they initially pruned out 70% of the homeless population for being "unqualified" and then half of the remaining 30% because they were unable or unwilling to maintain contact with a new person in their life. Therefore, only the top 15% of homeless people, in terms of responsibility, are even included in the study, and the other 85% are discarded.

This was interesting near the end... while the cash provided immediate benefits, control participants eventually “caught up” over time. This is consistent with prior work

In my opinion, if the $7500 was truly a game-changer, it would have immediate effect that would accelerate a person's re-introduction to stable society and therefore have multiplicative effects further down the road as they leveraged stable housing, clothing and food to get a job, perhaps attract a partner, etc. The fact that the non-cash recipients "caught up" suggests the exact opposite, seems a bit problematic.

Given the Chinese stated goal to recapture Taiwan and its recent mandates of state ownership, TSMCs reliance on Taiwan soil facilities is an existential threat to their business as a private enterprise. On the one hand keeping the semiconductor dependent on Taiwan solidifies their defense by being critical to global supply chains, on the other that may not be enough. As a business they need to prepare for the loss of their major manufacturing facilities. I don’t think this is a photo op, it’s a first step in a decoupling and the establishing of an off shore base of operations outside of their main base.

I find it sad issues like visas for Taiwanese experts are at the fore here. I would look at as an opportunity to bootstrap local talent through collaboration and some percentage of those visas will turn into citizens and permanent residents, aka Americans.

Maybe, I'm just saying that the country has a different... opinion on EM waves so that might reflect on this type of action. Just as an example, if you go to their "CDC"'s (not exactly) website, the faq about em exposure from cellular waves starts by saying that there's no real proof for harmful effects buuuut... then goes on to basically say the opposite for the majority of the answer and the article in general.

(Q3)

>In the current state of knowledge, the Agency's work does not demonstrate a causal link between exposure to waves emitted by mobile communications and effects on health.

>However, some publications suggest a possible increase in the risk of brain tumors, in the long term, for intensive users of mobile phones, which is why the IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer) has classified radiofrequencies as “possible carcinogenic”.

>Furthermore, the latest ANSES expert opinions have revealed, with limited levels of proof, various biological effects in humans or animals, some of which had already been reported in a previous expert opinion published in 2009: they can concern sleep, male fertility in animals or even cognitive performance.

https://www.anses.fr/fr/exposition-ondes-electromagnetiques-...

So again, it's a different pov. And it's weird that no other country came up to the same conclusion as of now. Q7 is also funny as they recommend not using your phone a lot to avoid em exposure, which is true but in context is obviously implying that there is harm from said exposure.
So we pay almost $1000 for phone and then we should pay subscription for cloud storage and be happy because UX is ok and we didn't have to pay for extremely overpriced piece of NAND storage to avoid subscription.

I kept wanting to like Zettelkasten but I just don’t. My personal conclusion: it’s optimized for shoveling out content. I don’t want to do that. I want a personal wiki that forms a web of links of things I want to remember, not a serialization of notes I took on well-defined subjects.

Aside: I’d bought Ahrens’s “How to Take Smart Notes” and was so disappointed. I thought it was going to be a how-to for getting up and running. It was a why-to about something I’d already decided to try. It could also have been a quarter the size with the same amount of information. I got the impression that the author put a ton of work into his own Zettelkasten and wanted to wring every word out of it he possibly could.
You joke, but even those videos of people saying their dog can talk is just like this. It's cute because it's a real dog making sounds we really want to believe when it's just them mimicking sounds because they get pettin's and treats.

What I want is "AI" to do something impressive. Why are we trying to make the system generate the sounds itself? We don't make artists do that, we give them instruments. Give the models actual instruments, and then have it play them like a real artist. I will be much more impressed with an AI that understands composition and scoring, use of musical voices, key signatures. That would still be generative. I guess I just don't understand the point of the direction being taken. It's like a solution looking for a problem.

Moi? I usually access my images via iPhoto or Google Photos in a browser and then download from there. Rarely have I connected a device to my laptop or MBP. Occasionally, I've used BT to transfer, but again that's rarely.

In theory, the USB C port should allow us to connect a docking station / monitor to a iPhone 15 but I'm not so sure Apple has that in mind. afaik, you need at least USB 3.0 to do that.
In the image generation space, weights were never released for ImageGen and Dall-e, but yes you can find weights for more specialized generative models like StyleGAN (2, 3 etc). Stable Diffusion was arguably one of the most influential open model releases, and I think the substantial investment in StabilityAI is evidence of that.
This isn't to say that TMR is bullet proof e.g. incidents like [2], but redundancy does make it possible to increase trust in a system, and assign blame to what part of a system is faulty (e.g. if 3 systems exist, and 1 appears to be disagreeing wildly with 2 and 3, you know to start investigating system 1 first).

You can only gain trust in this system if you understand the error sources for all three systems. If there’s any common mode errors then you can see errors showing up in multiple systems simultaneously. For example, if your aircraft is using pitot tubes [1] to measure airspeed then you need to worry about multiple tubes icing up at the same time (which is likely since they’re in the same environment).

So it would not add very much trust to implement TMR with three different pitot tubes. It would be better to combine the pitot tubes with completely different systems, such as radar and GPS, to handle the (likely) scenario of two or more pitot tubes icing up and failing completely.

Yeah, my solution for traveling has been a Satechi Quatro power bank, which has built in Qi and Apple Watch chargers. It's not MagSafe so lining up the phone on the charging pad is a bit fiddly, but it means I can charge my phone/watch/battery all from one USB-C plug and don't need a lightning or watch cable.

If I'm traveling with a computer too I use a 2x USB-C wall wart to fit everything in one plug. Not perfect, but beats the rat's nest of cables that it replaced.

Since the Qi charger isn't MagSafe it doesn't really work for topping up the phone from the battery on the go, so I often end up tossing a short Lightning cable in my bag anyway. Will be nice to have USB-C eventually and not worry about that (but I intend to drag this iPhone mini out for a good 5 years).

As an amateur musician, I’d be more interested in these tools if, along with the text description, they took as input a melody or chord progression or performance data. Maybe ABC notation or a MIDI track? Anyone doing that?

Other cool things would be a way to generate a sampled instrument from a text description, or to generate a new track given a text description and all the previous tracks for other instruments. There could be a new generation of audio tools that let you generate placeholders or better for everything.
Check out PhotoSync if you want to do local transfers wirelessly. Super nice to have. I wouldn't expect the every day user to set it up but for super users its really nice to have.
lol, no. Not autogenerate midi (although their latest versions of BiaB are pretty darn good now) but generate waveforms together. It would be similar to having AI generate whole scores of music but ensuring it's all in sync and in key. Not taking sample database of 88 sound files and triggering them when the midi-note strikes.

That only splits dependency-build from app-build. Any change to the app source code still causes a full rebuild, unless you figure out how to share the cache directory between builds (and then parallelism gets sketchy).

Generic CI just simply can't parallelize+cache on a level comparable to systems that understand the build itself (Bazel, sccache, etc).

Also should be noted that Godot can't be used for console development, except for the Steam Deck, due to open source licensing issues.

> To develop for consoles, one must be licensed as a company. As an open source project, Godot has no legal structure to provide console ports.

> Console SDKs are secret and covered by non-disclosure agreements. Even if we could get access to them, we could not publish the platform-specific code under an open source license.

(And for my personal take on the issue, I think Godot is working on these issues and I'm rooting for them. I also get frustrated with the false equivalence of source-available and open-source)

> Generative models can certainly create midi, but no one has done it yet.

Note sequence generation from statistical models has a long history, at least as long if not longer than text generation.

Have a look at section 2.1 of this survey paper [0] that cites a paper from 1957 as the first work that applies Markov models to music generation.

And, of course, plenty of follow-up work 6 decades later on GANs, LSTMs, and transformers.

By you. People with existing setups and sometimes expensive headphones would disagree. And the whole donglemania is ridiculous - especially models with only Thunderbolt ports are practically unusable without a hub.

But integrating that controller into the phone? I assume there's a reason it's currently heavily integrated into the SoC and that not doing so would have drawbacks.

Phone gaming has been the biggest market in gaming for awhile, and Apple has long had some of the highest gaming revenues or any company. Phones are already more powerful than a switch although much less powerful than the steam deck.

It is a ceaseless source of bafflement for me how people continually treat Apple as though it’s not already one of the biggest players in the gaming world with an utterly massive library of games you can’t find on any console or on Steam.

Apple has recently made some real strides with making it easier to port games recently because of the need to port VR games to the Apple Vision Pro.
This is clearly some thriller novel piece:

“These things do not look that hard to move,” Elon announced. It was a reality-distorting assertion, since each rack weighed about 2,500 pounds and was eight feet tall.

“You’ll have to hire a contractor to lift the floor panels,” Alex said. “They need to be lifted with suction cups.” Another set of contractors, he said, would then have to go underneath the floor panels and disconnect the electric cables and seismic rods.

Musk turned to his security guard and asked to borrow his pocket knife. Using it, he was able to lift one of the air vents in the floor, which allowed him to pry open the floor panels. He then crawled under the server floor himself, used the knife to jimmy open an electrical cabinet, pulled the server plugs, and waited to see what happened. Nothing exploded. The server was ready to be moved.
And yet USB2 is still the baseline standard for the USB-C standard ratified less than 10 years ago, the standard that the EU mandated compliance to.

If the EU wanted to outlaw USB2 phones it should have done that. But there would have been pushback from other vendors too - and rightly so.
> This is price segmentation / microeconomics 101

Yes, it is. I said that :) And it's a lazy and shite way for a brand like Apple's to go about it.

There were plenty of ways to segment the models, using a fax machine-esque technology to do is silly at best.
It does seem useful.

On the Pro, you can plug in a USB flash drive and back up pictures and video in the field.

It also appears there will be 4k display support on the pro which would give you an instant Apple TV while traveling and could even be a decent laptop replacement.
