Right that is a good distinction. Fair enough. Still stand that you could train a worse model depending on the task. Translation, Nuanced Classification are all instances where i've not seen bespoke models outright better than GPT-4. although, like i said it could still be good enough for speed, compute requirements.
Think scales of magnitude. For a one-/few- off project, okay, you might not notice the difference of a hundred bucks.

But if you do things at scale, every single penny counts. Yes, penny.

And one thing about the embedded Linux aspect - yes, this is a path for Linux hackers to get into embedded, and perfectly valid.

BUT. ESP32 also has many things going for it. Other operating systems, for example, equally fun and friendly to code for, as Linux. FreeRTOS is fun. So many other things, too .. endless great bits of community software components that can be picked and placed into your project, which will absolutely allow you to build a great product.

The point is, if you can do Linux, you can do the ESP32 ecosystem too.

They are approximately relevant to each other.

Disclaimer: I have done multiple projects in both realms, for many, many years (minix-list) and am quite comfortable with the cyclomatic complexity of writing code for either Linux or ESP32. They are, to me, flat. YMMV.

They’re reusing the previous SoC from last years Pro phones which were still USB 2.0 Lightning. The announced Pro phones have 3.0.
If it isn't, it's probably only because of a loophole lobbied for by Big Shower. Technically in France it's only a Shower in the shower region, outside of that geographically protected area it must be referred to as an hot water cleanse.

Toyota recreated its long-lost first race car from scratch after 70 years
The sound quality of Jukebox is muddled. There are many inconsistencies. The loudness of vocals and the quality of instruments really stand out and not in a good way. Hard to talk about creativity because it's so subjective but I've found it lacking in all AI music including JukeBox. Don't get me wrong - this tech is amazing.
It's impressive to see the versatility of LÖVE in action. Flexibility can be both a blessing and a challenge, but it's clear you made the most of it with 'Move or Die'.
I've seen people use "constructed" instead of "artificial", and I think it does make sense because it relates to the human action and intention behind the changes we make to the environment. I'm not too sure what would be the alternative to "natural" though.

I actually tried to demonstrate this with numbers a while back. I tried taking a few random JSON files as a control and representing them with StrictYAML and TOML and the TOML varied from 30% to 100% longer.

There is an element of opinion here, but there is no question that equivalent TOML files are longer, and most of that is syntax.

It's much more pronounced when you have more than one or two levels of nesting. With 4 or 5 levels of object nesting TOML files grow huge, whereas YAML is still fine.

>Further, adding an errant '-' and accidentally creating another object is real common in YAML

Yep, this is one of the things that type safety helps with though. Similarly it's quite easy to mess up an indent in YAML, but a schema can catch that stuff.
I think he showed that's not possible around 1915, or if possible, it requires you to fall through some wormhole while expending semi-infinite energy.
"Rather than speed things up, they make us miserable" - well, they weren't introduced to speed things up, they were introduced to allow the supermarket to save personnel and therefore money. I usually avoid them, because most of the time I either have some alcoholic beverage or some loose items (vegetables etc.) which would require waiting for assistance, and at that point the staffed checkout is faster.
If you think this format is bad, you probably have never had to work with a fluentd config file.
It already supports inline tables
The problem with most self checkouts is that the value prop for the stores seem obvious - lower wages - but the value for consumer is not obvious in most cases - because in most cases, it doesn’t exist.

It’s not a better experience and it feels very much like I am now being asked to do more while still paying more.
I was playing "shops" with my four-year-old and he told me it was "self checkout" and went and did something else. True story.
This is where the mistaken reasoning is, they aren’t measuring or reporting on that naive correlation between B and C that you’re focusing on.

They are saying after backing out the correlation between A and B to get adjusted B, there is no correlation between C and adjusted B. That is an ELI5 explanation of their statement “controlled for” about the factors like severity.

Yes their focus is not on how A and C relate, but we know that relation from other sources.

That is what controlled for means. “Hello” means a greeting in English. It’s the definition. Same concept, it’s the meaning of controlled for. It’s what it was defined to mean.

Back in the past, you used to have to go to the front of the shop and give them a list of what you wanted. They'd return with your bags full of what you ordered.

When the modern supermarket came along, there was uproar. People couldn't understand why they had to traipse the aisles! Isn't that what the staff were for? Why are customers having to do their job for them?

Of course, the supermarket realised that having people make impulse purchases, see new goods, and choose their preferred ripeness of fruit, made a lot more money than they lost from upset customers not returning.

Similarly, there's a modern calculation that a few customers fiddling the weight of their marrows is vastly offset by not having to recruit, train, employ, and manage till staff. And shoppers don't get stuck behind someone who wants a natter with cashier or who wants to pay in pre-decimal currency or wants to argue over an expired voucher.

But, luckily, thanks to capitalism you have a choice. Go to a supermarket like Lidl if you want to avoid self-checkouts. Or use online shopping. Or send your kitchen maid to deal with those craven machines.
I'm much more concerned about Google spying on everyone.
USB-2 is integrated into the A16 SoC - not USB3.

USB3 / USB 4 was enabled with an external chip in select iPads. This has a power, space, and material cost. It may not even fit in the phone space or power budget at all.

For the A17, they added USB3 to the SoC. I bet the iPhone 16 non pro will have USB3, when it gets the a17 chip.
Galileo GPS becomes faster for every user
Yeah I guess I'm a "roadtripper." I don't like driving itself. I just want to get from point A to point B as fast (and safe) as possible. Typically on an 8 hour drive my wife and I will make one or two 5 minute stops for bathroom breaks and to refuel. We'll eat in the car if we actually have to eat (but I only eat one meal a day so that's not common). The mental health hit for us is knowing that we're wasting precious vacation time travelling rather than vacationing. If we loved the drive itself then maybe it would be different, but I don't.
Well, then I hope you don't get caught...
Thanks for all these explanations!
Strong old man screams at cloud vibes here. I love self checkout. And I'll gladly bid a friendly good day to any employee that would ask to see my bag after I've used one.
Because now that port isn't Apple-only any more. It's a market wide standard and now other device manufactures can trigger the market to care.

"Let's go with the fax machine-y technology..." and the rest of the meeting attendees signed off? Perhaps the brand manager was on holiday? :)

p.s Put another way, I was waiting for the 15 and the USB-C. I'm not going to spend $800 on a device w/ USB 2.0, and I'm not going to spend $1000 just to get what is also a relatively dated technology (i.e., USB 3.0). Which is kinda funny...we're debating the value of USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 isn't exactly the current standard either.

Yeah, I get it. I'm an edge case. Most people don't care. I simply find it hard to believe that Apple so willing cut corners - for no reason - on the flagship devices.
Worse than just that, it is also taxable. So you think you're paying a few hundred to close it out, then you get zinged for more taxes in April. If you were counting on getting a refund, you might come up short.

Well, we found with Midjourney et al that these models can work very well despite having no pre-conceived or symbolic notions of composition, color theory, perspective or anything. Yet they can produce really good results in the image generation space. It's the same idea here, except much earlier days.

In the same way, many successful musicians can't read sheet music or know music theory, they just know how to produce something that sounds good.

Thanks for posting and doing this. I try to check undeadly.org from time to time but this looks like a nice summary of news from various places.
There are some tradeoffs, but some really key benefits which make it worth it.

Tradeoffs:

- You'll have to use Rider if you want a full IDE
- Or get used to VS Code and know its gaps
- Some workloads aren't as well supported in VSC (e.g. MAUI, desktop apps); as long as you don't need these, VSC is fine
- I know at least the CosmosDB emulator straight up does not work in ARM, even with the x64 emulation on the Docker image. Has been that way since M1 released.
- Occasionally, you'll run into issues where there are dependencies on x64 binaries like with Google OR-Tools which has a .NET wrapper around a C++ library.
- Have to get used to configuring cross-platform builds for .NET and Docker (not hard) since you'll often still be running in x64 environments in upstream cloud deploy targets.
- Terrible multi-monitor support; you'll need a $250+ DisplayLink capable dock for more than 2 screens.
- And the text doesn't render quite as crisp as Windows; might be that it would if I were using Apple monitors, but the same monitors are notably more crisp with Windows 11.

Benefits:

- PHENOMENAL battery life; for this alone, it was worth the switch. It's insane how good the battery life is for the performance. I've previously used top-of-the-line Dell Precision mobile workstations and the performance for the battery life on ARM64 is just unmatched. I can run Postgres (in Docker), a handful of Docker images, VS Code, and code on a cross-country flight
- The form factor is phenomenal. The same size as a Microsoft Surface 13.5" laptop but has 3 USB-C ports and an HDMI port. Of course, the phenomenal performance and battery life listed above
- The laptop is absolutely silent; never hear the fan kick on. I can be compiling away, running a Node-powered front-end dev runtime, a .NET web API, Docker containers -- never hear a damn thing. Coding in complete silence is kind of crazy.
- Stays relatively cool and never reaches the same temps as a Windows Intel laptop

Some lessons learned:

- It takes a while to remap your brain for KB shortcuts; get Karabiner to save your sanity
- Download iTerm; it's like Windows Terminal
- If you switch to VSC, you need to commit to it and get used to the CLI
Nuclear was responsible for 30% of electricity generation in 1990, a bit more than 6%. And yes, you just store the waste in geologically stable rocks, it's not rocket science, we store other types of radioactive or toxic waste and it's not that controversial. I wouldn't mind having one nearby... oh wait, there is one nearby, and literally nobody cares. It's this radiophobic fearmongering that made nuclear overly regulated and unnecessarily expensive. We have a planet to save yet the biggest economy in the EU is barely making a dent in it's CO2 emissions.

Apparently there's a limit on replies to a thread. But indicating that it's the publisher's content and not yours is not a dangerous line of thought it is the common line of thought through which all copyright which has been a thing for many hundreds of years now is based upon. My point was simply about the publisher ensuring that the content that they publish is received as intended by you the consumer. You seem to be conflating that with a consumer doing what they want with it after they've received it. What we're talking about here is third parties that are neither the publisher or nor the consumer altering the content but still pretending it is the publishers original work. For many hundreds of years now this has been an egregious violation of copyright and nothing about an "in an iPhone world" changes that.

Your argument seems to be based around the core principle of you don't care if a third party alters content that you're trying to consume that you may rely upon to be accurate. Additionally your argument seems to be based around the hubris that you would be able to detect the alteration and simply switch connection methodologies to get around it. That is a completely false premise to base your argument around. You have no assurances you would be able to detect the alteration and you would also have no assurances that simply changing from cell to Wi-Fi would get you around where the alteration is made because you have no idea where in the chain of connections the content has been altered.

All of this is reasonably solved by using an and to end encrypted connection. Is it perfect, no, there is always ways to alter data inside the encrypted connection but these are difficult ways. So we're back to the idea of reasonable assurances that what was published is what is consumed.

The fact that you do not care that content you're consuming is totally untrusted does not mean the rest of the world it needs to facilitate you and continuing to consume untrusted content. If you wish to pursue consuming totally untrusted content you're free to do so with many proxies because even your old device will support a proxy method that will allow you to continue to have untrusted content. As for the rest of the world we are far better off understanding that there is a reasonable assurance that what is published and what I'm consuming are the same thing.

Oh, yeah, we can react. The same way you start betting on red after you see 3 reds in a row.
Just to be clear, I don't think that low-power EM radiation poses a health risk. I am just saying that if you are worried about it (like OP is) you can simply reduce your exposure to it. Doing so is relatively easy and has a minimal quality of life impact. As others have mentioned, low-power EM radiation in the frequency range used by cellphones is non-ionizing, so it can't cause cancer or severe health issues in the same way that ionizing radiation can.

Wait does this mean the 20cm accuracy is now done by all decoders with backwards compatibility? I'm actually more interested in GPS -altitude- accuracy (MSL) which conventional receivers don't seem to do well at all (try the opensource GPSTest app, it's neat)

> The I/NAV improvements are based on a trio of innovations.

> The improved time to first position fix comes through reducing the amount of information needed for the receiver to generate a first position fix, at the cost of a reduced initial accuracy in turn. This leads to a first fix within a few seconds, with a ranging error of less than 4.5 m, decreasing further in turn until reaching the accustomed submetre-level accuracy after the reception of the complete Galileo navigation message.

> I/NAV’s improved robustness comes from a new coding method that introduces additional redundancy into the navigation message, so any lost or corrupted data – perhaps blocked by high buildings or reflected off polished artificial surfaces – can be recovered easily.

> Finally, Galileo System Time is made available to receivers without the need to fully demodulate the navigation message by introducing it as a ‘secondary synchronisaton pattern’ within the message, accessible within a few seconds. This is of particular interest to receivers that retreive the Galileo navigation message through the internet or parallel communication networks and therefore are only missing the correct link to the Galileo System Time for the provision of a first fix.
Lightning (for its proprietary connector and slow USB) has personally been irritating me for something like a decade now.

That they only switched when forced by the EU is sadly typical of them.

That they then used this to market segment, so $800 phones still have USB speeds I expect from $15 junk I’d buy on Amazon?

That’s just irritating.
The ostensible root of it is about maintaining the theoretical legal division between contractors and first-party employees while still addressing them as the same group. The cohort of 'Amazon associates' includes for example seasonal contract workers and contracted delivery agents, neither of whom are (generally speaking) directly employed by Amazon.
This might convince me to start using TOML. I hate JSON for configs (not all parsers support comments, yes I know JSON5 exists), and TOML's table syntax really sucks. YAML has its flaws, but it fits the bill the best IME.

Now I just have to hope enough TOML tools support this syntax, lest I end up in the same boat as JSON5.
One of the comments on the article gives one example:

> When our product’s uninstaller sees an undeletable file (possibly a DLL loaded in another process), it uses the MOVEFILE_DELAY_UNTIL_REBOOT flag to mark it for deletion, and warns the user “Please reboot as soon as possible to remove the remaining files.”

> However, some user uninstall our product, just to be able to reinstall it later, to the same location. And of course they ignored the warning. Once they reinstalled it, everything works, until a reboot.
AFAIK the wording is "vetted customers".
It seems to be increasingly the case that package managers just don't have some software - or have a version that's years out of date. Perhaps the number of different ones available has become self-defeating.

Directly sudoing a curl-ed script is like running a binary on Windows with admin permissions and with Defender turned off, which makes it somewhat more scary to me.

On Windows I use Chocolatey when I can, and if I can't (or it looks dodgy anyway) I'll either just not install it or try it in a sandbox. Things that aren't choco-able are generally commercial software obtained from the vendor's download page, we theoretically trust those things somewhat. YMMV.
> > the robot simply determined that “the most efficient way to eliminate the threat was to push the worker into an adjacent machine.”

> This seems inflammatory and highly misleading. I could be wrong, but I highly doubt it: the robot didn't "determine" anything. It had assembly instructions to follow, and it followed them. The worker got in the way and was struck.

I was prepared to argue with you, but upon reading the article, I agree that the description you quote makes a huge category error.

I think it's believable that we'll soon get AIs that are advanced enough they can do agent modeling and that some subgoal-maximizer accident could happen where the robots determines "the most efficient way to accomplish <objective> is to take out that human so he doesn't turn me off", in which case the article's poetic description would be correct.

Except the quoted paragraph is talking about an industrial accident in 1981, so the whole "eliminate the threat" presentation is obviously absurd.
What is so fun about lua? The few times I've come into contact with it I've been...less than thrilled with what I've seen. Looks like a lobotomized version of a language I'd like, with ugly, verbose syntax.
