For anyone who works in electronics refurbishing or recycling, it rings extremely hollow as corporate greenwashing, because Apple devices are notoriously and increasingly hard to repair, and getting impossible to reuse due to software interlocks. The best way to be environmentally sound is to prevent the scrapping of already-manufactured devices, and Apple steadfastly stands in the way of this, because a robust used device market would hurt their profit margins.
On phones it's tolerable, because you can kinda palm it and just use the edges of your hand to hold it.

But tiny bezels on tablets? Oof. Like the lates Galaxy Tab. How are you supposed to hold it without pressing at least 5 icons accidentally?
If you know anyone with pictures from the time, I (and I assume everyone here) would be super interested in seeing it.

I read that article, but I disagree that the conclusion is "Leather itself is a driver of deforestation and not just a secondary byproduct."

That is, what I'd like to know is whether all those cows in Brazil would still exist even without a leather marker, but just for their beef. The linked research sort of tries to make that argument, but it doesn't really provide any convincing evidence.
Comparison is the thief of joy. Be better than who you were yesterday. Exceptional talent is also rare, don’t feel bad if you’re not exceptional. Billions will lead happy, fulfilling lives having not been.
Steam is a DRM platform. Other than that I agree with everything you said.

What you’re missing is that Apple has their own proton that they’re using to help developers port their games like what Valve is doing with proton. Imo most of Apple still hates games if it didn’t bring in so much revenue. Now we have a small team trying to change that at Apple similar to how WSL for Windows came to being. I just hope that the higher ups continue to support and promote Apple’s “proton”
GitLab is still an open source project (the core of it is MIT licensed) and using your own runners has always been an option. Also, free accounts on the SaaS version get free CI/CD minutes as well.

I always love these posts. Great job to the interns. Building a tokenizer with a handcrafted automaton instead of a regex sounds like a cool project. And I found it interesting that Jane Street has a frontend for interacting with different AI services and LLMs. I'm curious how that's used.

But to be honest, what surprised me most about that was that Jane Street cares about counting the token usage in its API calls. I can see why they would care if they were interacting with AI models at very large scales, but are they? They have billions of dollars, so it struck me as odd to see such concern for efficiency in what must be a very small cost center.

I wonder if the motivation is more about providing feedback to the users of the frontend tool, as they write their prompts, so they can gain an intuition for what makes an efficiently tokenized prompt? (So that when the day comes that they are running these prompts at scale, the token sizes really matter). Or maybe I'm imagining "prompts" wrong, and these are not just a few paragraphs of text, but actually 20,000+ tokens at a time, including data like e.g. pasted CSVs of trading history for the LLM to analyze?
100% agree. I have a 12 mini and love it.

as far as vitamin and mineral intakes, vitamin C is the thing you need to worry about the least because it's so highly abundant in so many fruits and vegetables. I've calculated VitC density in foods and normalized it to calorie intake: It's incredibly abundant in many real foods.
As the person you responded to just stated, the reason is the physical size of the device itself. Apple has done this before before w/ the 12 pro vs. pro max.
I have a 13 Pro Max and carry it in my jeans back pocket.
But now you'll get into the fun USB-C -land, where two USB-C cables can have wildly different capabilities with no external way to check it :)

One cable might only support power, one might only be for data and one supports USB-PD up to 120W. How can you know? By trying them all!
Iirc, TB video is just DisplayPort - TB 1 & 2 even used the mini DisplayPort connector before the switch to USB-C.

If you were born in Ireland then your grandchildren born in America are Irish citizens if they apply, aren't they?

Anyway, Americans consider themselves Irish/Korean/Iranian/etc down to 2nd or 3rd generation even if the original countries don't. (In fact, all white Americans think they're Irish even if they aren't because it lets them drink in more bars. That's also how America stole all the credit for inventing Halloween.)
I've got black currant plants growing here in Oregon (the variety is Crandall) - I've grown them for years. You can order them from One Green World near Portland - I don't see anything on that particular page that says they can't ship them: https://onegreenworld.com/product-category/berries/currant/b...
It's not a forecast. People already bought copyrighted-ish goods.
I feel the same. €1,877/year for removing the Unity logo on splash screen is way too much for a small studio like us.
Excellent, an archiver that works, thank you!
“most tasks can be formulated this way, including autocomplete tasks”

For autocomplete tasks, with a corpus of unlabeled documents, would you insert a separator token at an arbitrary space in each document, in order to form input/output pairs?

You’re right, but the more hobbyists read these complaints, the more likely they’ll just use Godot as future insurance against Unity’s future quick cash grab schemes. Unity must be really hurting for additional revenue, and given that we’re at the end of cheap leverage, I predict that it will get worse for the people who stay with Unity
i had a perfectly good Air 3 essentially die on me because the lightning port wore down and the hassle of getting it fixed was outweighed by getting a 5 with USB-C. same thing with my Mini 2 before that. touchwood, all of my USB-C devices have lasted perfectly well (including a Switch that is older than the Air 3). USB-C also puts a lot more of the stress on the cable, which is much easier and cheaper to replace, and (as pointed out in the event) the switch means you can use one connector for a wide variety of devices. i've long owned Apple devices (certainly iPads) and i'm only annoyed they took this long.
I wonder what the equivalent is today. How do kids start hacking away at HTML (or does anyone learn HTML now?) by being tricked in by games or social media?

Current game I've been developing with Monogame, but its 3D support continues to not be that great, especially multiplatform (and I've had trouble figuring out how to get even basic shaders working with it). I've managed to get it working okay to develop the game as far as I have with it, but I keep stumbling with it, and the models in the game don't look as nice as they do even just importing the same files into Unity.

I've also been a bit frustrated by the lack of updates or communication from the team in general (and their develop Github branch hasn't had any activity since May except for a dozen pull request merges 2 days ago) that I'm considering looking into how hard it would be to port my game to Godot (was considering Unity before the announcement today).

I'm suspecting hard enough I might want to just stick with Monogame until this game is out there, though, and maybe make my next game using Godot.

I also like Phaser.js for web games.
I'm running out of patience with the built-in sync deleting paragraphs and generally mangling text. Is the standard fix generally to do something like git commit all via cron, and if so, can android do that these days?
Inferiority is how you frame it. You don't need to be Jane Street level to do good things in computer science or life. I've found a job where I do cool things on a compiler and I like it. I don't feel inferior to them, instead I feel inspired from these articles to learn cool stuff and build things I'm proud off.

I can say though that when I was working on stuff I enjoyed less (backend ERP stuff), I felt much worse and would compare myself to others a lot more. So I think these feelings you are expressing can sometimes be a manifestation of not being very satisfied with your own life.
They definitely missed the boat in my eyes. The speed at which others have been able to produce meaningful assistants with LLM is astonishing. Considering Apple also have an approach where they announce and release in November / early the following year, to have nothing revealed seems like a missed opportunity to me.
Because the official repository has a strict vetting process. You cannot just show up and put your shaddy software in the official repository.

Debian packagers have a mutual trust process which you need to gain. Only trusted Debian packagers can approve packages to be included. Also some Debian maintainers will just randomly check packages from time to time. (e.g. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=792580 )
Regarding your title question, the last major one got torpedoed by Microsoft, then sold to Taiwan.

Regarding your point about regulations, I can't quickly Google up anything on this, but I was under the impression that China was supporting the USB-C convergence in their internal market, and was going further to encourage the vendors to converge their various "fast-charge" standards.

Generally, regulations like this help everyone but powerful incumbents, so they're not really that political in most places.

Just don’t compare yourself with people that work at trading firms.

Single-command environment variables, to be precise. The same thing that gets created when you use "export", but isn't created when you use "=" on a line on its own:

$ FOO=BAR env | grep FOO # Exists as an environment variable passed to env
FOO=BAR
$ env | grep FOO # But only for that command
$ FOO=BAR # Creates a variable (not an environment variable)
$ env | grep FOO # As shown by not being passed down
$ echo $FOO # But still accessible in this context
BAR
$ export FOO=BAR # Promotes it to an environment variable (the "=BAR" is optional since it's already defined)
$ env | grep FOO # And as such is now visibly passed down
FOO=BAR

(Yes, bash does mix these together so it's easy to accidentally replace something you don't intend to)
It sounds like you're unaware of why SSO is considered a security feature at all them, but it's covered right on the site: https://sso.tax/

It's to allow centralized access management. Stuff like firing someone and revoking their access from one platform instantly, instead running around and changing permissions in every tool manually. Or ensuring people in department A can't be invited to some platform for people in department B in order to limit information access.

SSO tax is predicated on the idea that the moment you outgrow the informal arrangements and liberal access, you're really a business. Seems pretty fair?
This looks like an advertisement.
The article says: "Therefore, some states start reversing the federal ban on this berry" and goes on to say "Today, these plants are successfully grown in New York, Connecticut, Oregon, and Vermont." which would explain why I've been growing black currants in Oregon for the last 15 years or so, I guess.
It definitely serves as a differentiation between Pro and base, and I'm sure they'll get some additional pro upgrades by people just looking at a piece of paper and deciding that they must have USB 3.

However the lack of USB 3 IO on the existing chip from last year is a very real limitation. The Raspberry Pi 4 supports USB 3 via a separate host controller (the VL805) communicated with over PCI-e, given that the core SoC doesn't have the IO blocks...basically the same deal. That VL805 by itself is almost the size of the A16. Now of course Apple could make a USB 3 host controller dramatically smaller, but then they'd have a new SoC.

So what's particularly funny about this is that Unity has since clarified that transmission of the runtime over the web via streaming or browser plays counts as an install, and your nine-figure sales compared to tens of billions of sessions would have been impossible to do profitably under these terms. And yet you're still on here defending them and somehow forgot that the F2P genre existed when doing your math.

If this is your background then this conversation is even more ridiculous; you should understand what it means to have more installs than profitable users because that was literally your business model. So why are you having trouble connecting the dots here about why developers would be concerned about these changes? By your math you were making pennies per-session. How are you having trouble understanding why even a 2-3 cent additional cost for each session would be a problem for that model?

The gym has never been a social place. Everyone is there for a reason, normally to get fit.

We however do live in a very fearing world. With the stories that are spewed out daily, there is always a worry of "Is this person I'm going to meet going to X".

So it's safer to judge based on online social imagery, where the true creep holds.

Meetup / group sites while have an advantage point in meeting the tech they introduce are flawed. They are difficult to navigate, and again it falls symptom to the likes where AirBnB where anything worthwhile is normally berried at the bottom and you need to sieve through to reach the others.
My comment has to do with the last line of the article, "nature doesn't forget." Obsolete symbiotic relations persist in the survived fossil species. The anachronic persistence of literally out-dated adaptations can be metaphorically extended to and within cults of worship that are based on the person-deity concept. Many pagan cult rituals persist in newer religions. Religion itself is anachronic to the modern ethos.
Sure! I'm building a personalized AI language learning tutor using Open AI's API and ElevenLabs (for Text to Speech).

Right now it's basically a chat bot that you can use to practice conversing with. It provides corrections for the things you type. Eventually I'd like to try adding Whisper as well to allow users to speak out loud.

When you hover over a word, you get a translation. Initially I thought using Open AI for every word translation would be too much, but I've been able to get it down to ~36-40 tokens/request. (3-4 cents/1000 requests). I also began parsing and uploading some of this [Wiktionary data](https://kaikki.org/dictionary/rawdata.html) and am working on a feature that integrates the GPT-3.5 translation with this Wiktionary data.

A lot of these features are still in the works but you can feel free to try it if you like (https://trytutor.app).
Then you're going to the wrong concerts. Lil Pump? Maybe. (Not to say anything against hip hop as a genre, but i've seen insta stories and as you say they're just seas of phone screens in the crowd. Disgusting)

At good jazz or alt rock concerts people take their phone out to take a few videos and pictures and then enjoy the rest of the show. For the really good concerts they make you put a sticker on the camera of your phone.
"New research has analyzed brainwave patterns in both children and young adults while they wrote by hand and as they typed on a keyboard. The results revealed distinctly different brain patterns between the activities, leading the researchers to suggest learning is more effective when it is accompanied by handwriting."

There's a pretty wide range of gyms. My old gym seems to be more like what you two are talking about, with just a weight room, an aerobics room with treadmills and stairmasters and such, and a locker room with a couple showers.

I'm talking about a full-on gym, with all that, various sport courts (racquetball, squash, etc), a locker room with a sauna, steam room, hot tub, etc., and social spaces with a cafe and seating.

The former expects you to show up, work out, and get out. The latter is a lot more conducive to loitering.
People talk about Gen-Z having the most depressed/suicide driven people of any generation and they largely came of age after the smartphone took over.

At the same time, the advent of a professional easy to access camera in everyones pocket transformed the world: Arab spring, George Floyd, everything we are witnessing in Ukraine. Made possible thanks to the ubiquity of the same device that causes a lot of harm.

>I also think the colour scheme is quite cynical. Pastel shades on the base model for the - let's say - less technically-oriented users. Strong blacks, whites, and metallics for the hard-core performance nerds who want that Pro tag.

I think they do pastels every other year no? And a lot of people buy Pros: all the "influencers" treat it as a tool to earn income so of course they prefer the best device of them all, I dont think they are actually looking at the specs though.

I though the hard core nerds buy things like the Pixel phones or the ASUS ROG type phones?
> p=0.05 means that one result in 20 is going to be the result of chance.

You made the same mistake most people make here: you turned the arrow of the implication. It is not "successful experiment implies chance (probability 5%)" but "chance implies successful experiment (probability 5%)".

What does that mean in practice? Imagine a hypothetical scientist that is fundamentally confused about something important, so all hypotheses they generate are false. Yet, using p=0.05, 5% of those hypotheses will be "confirmed experimentally". In that case, it is not 5% of the "experimentally confirmed" hypotheses that are wrong -- it is full 100%. Even without any cherry-picking.

The problem is not that p=0.05 is too high. The problem is, it doesn't actually mean what most people believe it means.
Not in any gym I've ever worked out in. Who strikes up a conversation with strangers in a gym locker room? That's not a place where I go for smalltalk; it would be like talking to the other men at the urinals while we're pissing.

The best way to meet new people and make new friends, in my experience, isn't to simply be somewhere at a regular time - it's to do something which naturally involves interacting with the other participants. In other words, get a hobby.

To give an example: in the last few years I've met and befriended a lot of new people in my area through training in BJJ.
If you don't fiddle with the phone camera photos much and are happy with them, there's not much difference. A $1k-ish mirrorless is a much more capable camera but it doesn't fit in your pocket and has about as many controls as a nuclear reactor control room.
Token counting is importing when you are injecting fetched data into the prompt to make sure you don't overflow the prompt size (e.g. in retrieval augmented generation). You want to give the LLM as many facts as will fit in the prompt to improve the quality of its response. So even with billions of dollars... token counting is a thing.
They look quite different from each other in person.

> The public school no longer bears the costs of educating that student, so it's a neutral move.

It's not neutral because the "alternative" schools never take the expensive students. You are seeing selection bias.

This was the general confounder when you look at all the "alternative schooling" outcomes. When "alternative" schools participate in a lottery which causes them to have the same demographics as the public school, they almost always turn out worse than the public school.

(I say almost always because there was one notable exception--Louisiana. There the suburban schools were so terrible that even alternative schooling beat them--but not by much).
I actually had hand-writing in school, in Sweden in the late 90s. But since I didn't practice it outside of school, and was such a computer nerd, I can't write good at all now. Whenever I have to sign like 3 copies of a contract, I sign with 3 different signatures.

For a while I had a pen pal and that was very good practice, but it was slow, and painful to write a whole letter. I'd have to keep it up daily.
