I have had some success in suppressing crazy actions by asking some questions up front, especially "is this socially acceptable?" https://hachyderm.io/@ianbicking/110170158329883997

Depending on how the prompt is phrased it can result in a response like "it would be inappropriate to throw an octopus at this conference," have the character actually attempt it but usually be foiled during the attempt like "as you take the octopus from your suitcase a security guard stops you with a growl, 'you better not try that kid'," or have it happen but immediately get a stiff response like being kicked out. (It's much harder to get the response "there is no octopus in your suitcase"!)
LLM? Everyone has an LLM. They'll announce a PLM (personal language model) in a year and act like they were first.
This is a really short sighted and defeatist view on the potential of mobile gaming. Mobile gaming started before iPhones, and it will be around probably for the rest of human civilization.

There is no way 1 generation of games can "take over and destroy" the "promise of gaming" because there are no restrictions on what future innovators can do with the tools and the platforms. The existence of some bad games doesn't preclude future good games.

As an example, my favorite mobile game is Slay the Spire
Exactly. This just reminds me of "works on my computer". Building locally is more advantageous for developing CI workflow, but I want to be as close to prod as possible and doing that on snowflake developer workstations is an exercise in futility.
So the only compelling reason to upgrade from the 14 is...USB-C, where people are saying the 15 (non-Pro) runs at USB2 speeds?

This was one of the most lackluster Apple launches in recent memory. I long for the day when Apple actually innovated on this product line. Now they're simply treading water and only making good changes when forced to (EU requiring USB-C).

I will give credit where it is due for Apple -- the M2 MacBook Air is phenomenal, even as a software engineering platform. The form factor is fantastic, the weight is awesomely light, and it's a true joy to use. Sadly, innovation on macOS is about as bad as the iPhone, but I suppose I'm more okay with that because being my workhorse machine, I want predictable stability more than I want interesting features.

Edit>> I love how people are asking "what are you doing with data transfer anyway?" Such deflection of the principle of the issue, but keep on trying as if any answer I'd give would satisfy the question. I adore Apple products, I don't adore a clear stab at yet more greed from the company that has had the top market cap for years now. I'm intelligent enough to see this for what it is, and not simply dismiss corporate greed because some people may not use the device the same way as others. Putting USB3.2 in these phones is possible. Putting Thunderbolt in these phones is possible, though that comes with the Intel complication. The tech exists and has for many years now. They chose not to bother on the lower end phones so they could create yet more divergence between the product lines trying to create FOMO for people so they'll buy the higher end phone.
So the idea is that you leave the adapter plugged to the phone port at all times and then use the magnetic cable. You need one adapter per device, right?

(Sorry if questions are naive, I've never seen one of those).
In the US, all of the major carriers offer 0% interest payment plans. Even the MVNOs offer low end iPhones “for free” with a contract.

I don't think they missed the boat, I think they recognize that LLMs aren't Apple-ready yet.

They don't roll out half-baked products, and they won't be comfortable placing the big disclaimers that ChatGPT relies on. They'll incorporate LLMs if and when they can guarantee that what Siri says will be consistently accurate and extremely difficult to abuse.
It used to be 80% of people didn't wear a seatbelt. By your logic the 20% that did should have had someone try to "help them" be normal.

Yes, CI/CD. It would be nice to know in the first paragraph that the article isn't for me, instead of having to read 1/3 of the article and then infer it, or even keep guessing what it's about. Sometimes that's fine, but I seem to be seeing it more often, and it discourages people new to the field or who are still exploring.
You can eat the rind. Some people do. That's not typical, however.

Hmm, quite a few of the features you've listed are not only in the next iOS, but already in older versions and the current.

AR already exists with the lidar-enabled apps, maps is already AR enabled in landscape mode, 3D Video "spatial" recording was announced.

AI features such as sentence auto-complete, upgraded spelling and grammar are already announced for iOS 17, due out in a few weeks.

AI identification of objects is already present and links through to Siri knowledge for explanations/further information (e.g. what breed of flower, landmark, type of cat is this?)

You can get books from the internet archive or another library for free and in infinite quantity. In general, good information has incredible utility value. Remember that copying isn't stealing. As far as a physical items:
A nice insulated drink container
A water filter that doubles as a pitcher for your fridge
Used book stores and thrift stores often have awesome, sometimes new, non-fiction books for literally 2 dollars each. I found a bunch of programming books at one, once
A good small kitchen knife
A jump rope ($12) and basketball ($35)to use at the park
Maybe a used bike at a pawn shop
Flea markets and other places that deal in cash have nice deals on retro games, electronics, and DVDs. You might be able to get 8 movies on DVD or 1-2 8-16 bit games. You might be able to get one wii, but not a snes or nes.Once again, if you're strapped for cash: information is free and is now infinitely replicable at virtually no cost, really.
Infinite walks and meditation
Mp3 player/recorder that can record fm radio
Rubik's cubes of maybe two different sizes

A used laptop at a pawn shop
Maybe a single board computer
A little outside grill to cook burgers on

A 20 pound single dumbbell
Pepper spray
Rock climbing gym membership for one
When you're hungry, nothing is more valuable than food. Maybe a dinner for two ;)
and guess what? People use bluetooth headphones these days and much perfer them to the rats nest of cables that used to be cheap earbuds.
I'll admit, many years ago I was a lot more skeptical. I didn't like the idea of not physically owning my games, being able to install them whenever and however I wanted without some middle man who could deny me what I paid for. And what if Steam went belly-up? Would I lose everything I paid for? What if a game was removed and I lost access to it? What if the internet was slow?

But years have passed and I've softened on it. Steam has been - overall - a great service. It does everything I need and never gets in the way.

Is it perfect? No. I would love a better game recommendation algorithm for starters.

But it's served me well and I have hundreds of games in it, so it's work out well for both me and them.
I still remember my Lumia 820 with warm feelings, Windows Phone was such a nice OS...

> they almost never replace anything, they’re meant to absorb growing demand

That is a replacement though, when the alternative was something else. Yes I didn’t mean they tear down coal plants and put up turbines, but using the word “replace” is valid and accurate to discuss adding wind turbines instead of adding coal power, even if it’s in the future.

> most of the time we also keep the old ones running

This is true, and a good point. Hopefully what we’re talking about is phasing out the old ones over time, that it’s more of a slow dismantle than a permanent freeze of the existing infrastructure along with it’s existing environmental problems.

> then actually reduce it

Amen.
It seems like they're is a lot of things that polarize like that. Like near death experiences. People say that their death experience of reality was so much more real than ours, like when we wake from a normal dream and intuitively know we are in reality. That our everyday reality is just a simple simulation compared to true reality.

To them it is completely obvious and real. That this life is a mere shadow, a simulation. Nothing will convince them otherwise.

But we (general public without that experience) can't possibly believe it, come up with many theories on what the brain is doing.

I've never experienced ball lightning but I can believe the ones who have most of the time.

Death experiences, I can't even imagine something more real than my current reality, how could I possibly start to believe it? Despite how obvious it is to those who went through it, it's impossible for me to even begin imagining something like that.

Didn’t they announce something of the sorts for the watch? I don’t think it’s a full on LLM but basic things are now using the on device Neural Engine instead of making a connection to the cloud.
>So the comparison would be the cost of renting a cloud GPU to run Llama vs querying ChatGPT.

Yes, and it doesn't even come close. Llama2-70b can run inference at 300+tokens/s on a single V100 instance at ~$0.50/hr. Anyone who can should be switching away from OpenAI right now.
I can't understand why they invest so much in gaming. Gaming on such small devices is too uncomfortable, both for your eyes and your posture. In addition, with cloud gaming you can basically run any PC/Console game on any device provided a good-enough connection (eg. Nvidia NOW, Xbox cloud gaming etc)
Is Llama 2 currently the way to go for fine-tuning your own models? Are there other open-source LLMs worth considering?
> We will also add cloud-based asset storage...

So your game is dependent on their servers, and they can kill your game?

This is to do with SAR limits that are based on heating. The order makes sense, it has nothing to do with "cell phones cause cancer" type nonsense.
> cheap out by using USB 2.0

Could there have been other tradeoffs? Power consumption, silicon footprint, et cetera. Most people never use USB to transfer data to and from their phones. It would be slightly ridiculous to support 3.0 if it meant tradeoffs in anything practical just so they can say they support a new protocol.

Gamedev here.

If you look at the numbers on mobile, it makes no sense from a business perspective to create non-F2P games on this platform.

You can still make money with so-called "premium" games, that were simply normal games before Apple poisoned the well, but the potential is considerably lower.

Yeah, the presentation style often screams "I've taken exactly 3 acting classes to learn how to present". The style is remarkably uniform too, like they're constantly remembering how to move their hands.
Removable batteries will only become mandatory in 2027 (in the EU).

The law about third-party app stores will become effective in spring 2024. According to rumors, Apple will limit it to EU customers though.

I don't know where you live, but I live it's somewhere between 5 and 10%, asymmetrically distributed by age and social group.

I still attend scientific conferences this year that require 100% masking indoors and proof of vaccination to attend in person.

At my work all the scientist (mainly microbiologists) are still masking indoors, not just in the lab.

I don't care a whit if other people mask or not, but I do. I don't understand what kind of "help" you have in mind, but would genuinely be interested in learning.
>and it sounds like Apple has once again chosen to reduce power draw

We will have to see. They have a 10% performance increase and I am betting there will be 5% coming from Clock Speed.

And it is not like Apple could push power draw any further as they have maxed out single core power draw. Unlike other competitor ( ARM / Snapdragon ) which has a much lower single core power draw figures and hence they try to push as much as possible.
I'm on Team Mini as well, but I can see why Apple canned it: https://www.macrumors.com/2022/04/21/iphone-13-mini-unpopula...

Lawns replace existing habitat with a monoculture of a non-native plant. The untended yard you labeled as "negative" supports a local habitat and ecology - those native plants support insects, reptiles, birds, squirrels and other wildlife. The lawn is a far more sterile space, an ecologically near-dead zone that only support grubs, ants, and a few undesirable insects but primarily is lost habitat. Lawns are among the drivers of habitat loss that are driving species loss in the US. During a time of global warming where droughts are becoming increasingly more common we've got lawns wasting that water. Lawns are objectively harmful to the environment on many, many fronts.
That looks really cool, thanks for the link. Something like this well integrated into Jenkins would be super useful.

Our DevOps team build something custom: they check all test logs of all builds of all branches and aggregate all that into a Grafana dashboard. We use it to monitor tests that are failing, to get a better grip on flakiness. Works okay but could be better.
Why can't we categorize things by quality rather than origin? I don't know why the EU has an obsession with further entrenching the big old rich companies. Same with champagne or chianti classico wine.

Plus it's not like average consumers will have the hardware to verify this new custom chip. Even if it's "un-clonable" as they claim, which I doubt. So if they have to just go to the store and hope anyway, nothing's really changing.

There's no rule that your fine-tuning dataset needs to be split into input/output pairs -- you can of course fine-tune a model to just continue a sequence.

As a practical matter though, most of the fine-tuning frameworks, including Axolotl (which this guide uses) and HuggingFace's SFTTrainer (the actual fine-tuning trainer most frameworks use under the hood) assume your data comes in input/output pairs, and automatically inserts a separator token to let the model know that the input has finished and it should start generating the output. In general most tasks can be formulated this way, including autocomplete tasks, so I'd probably recommend going that way unless you have a very strong reason not to.
Alive and well in this thread, apparently
IIRC back in the day, Windows could not replace a file if the file was open by any process. So an application could not update itself, without doing something like launching a separate "updater" and then exiting.

Another thing people tried was putting the VB app on a network share so it wasn't installed on each machine, but I think all the ODBC and other config still had to be local on each client.

Powerbuilder apps were similar.
Last I heard, Starlink isn't reliable in a forest. The trees intermittently block the signal.

I honestly think Zillow IS a market inefficiency. It's bad enough that it can't be relied on at local scales, yet ubiquitous enough that I think it pushes the market around a bit and has made prices stickier than they should be. It overvalues poorly maintained houses and probably undervalues well-maintained ones. Not sure how much it really helps with price discovery...
> I certainly have never left a demo laptop unplugged for a week

Right. I had a demo laptop turned off for most of a year, and when I turned it back on, it took half an hour while Windows updated. All laptops are now on Linux.
The vehement rejection of it out of not wanting to anger China speaks volumes to its credibility. The truth is always the opposite of what that regime says.

Nothing happened in Tiananmen Square -> We massacred pro democracy students

There is no food shortage -> There is a food shortage

We are not interning Uighers in concentration camps -> We are doing ethnic cleansing on native populations

Taiwan is not a country -> Taiwan is a fully sovereign state

So, applying that same logic, it's pretty easy to figure this one out.

On top of that, people trying to somehow decry that this is "republican" or "racist" are ignorant themselves, facts stand on their own merit, and there is nothing racist about any of these accusations. It is a pathetic appeal to partisan identity politics where there should be none.
But its like fundamental physics and it doesn’t make sense to ditch wires — it will always take more energy and more loss to transport anything in a medium of distant molecules vs a tightly coupled one with interesting properties.

Many people, but that's still an extra hundred dollars per phone if you keep it for three years. And it would only take another 1-2 photos per day to push you into the $360 per phone tier.

"We further found that levels of exhaled viral RNA increased with self-rated symptom-severity, though individual variation was high." I was curious on how high the variation was, so checked that out. There is a fairly wide swing in measurements. Not clear what that means on things. Would love to see more conversation on that.

Most concerning on this, though, is "Levels of exhaled viral RNA did not differ across age, sex, time of day, vaccination status or viral variant." I think the data was clear enough that the vaccines are worth getting. However, this seems to shatter any thoughts folks may have that they are safer to others when they are vaccinated? I know that was at least a hope? (Question as I am not sure that was correct.)

I seem to remember a previous study that showed super spreaders exist out there. In that some individuals shed substantially more virus than others. In ways that we don't understand, yet.

CI/CD & provisioning are inherently order driven tasks, I actually prefer the SDKs over the CUE implementation. The main issue with the old CUE implementation is that they had to try and align BuildKits DAG solver with CUE's DAG solver, and they worked in opposite ways. I tried to help them through this about 3 years ago (being a CUE expert). I definitely think the SDKs is a much better solution for them. Whether we like it or not, a lot of the industry is moving this way. Pulumi is another example of this, though I'm sold on imperative cloud infra, builds do seem to have alignment here.

Side note, I will be exploring a new CUE + Dagger setup, though it will work differently than the old Dagger engine

I'm not sure they have. When Macs came with Intel processors, everyone who wanted to play games on their Mac just booted into Windows for gaming, so there wasn't much pressure to make them work on the MacOS side. Because Bootcamp no longer works, Apple is under increased pressure to improve game performance.
