Lots of different types of tools here. Some are no code, most are low code. There is no clear dividing line between them: they are all configurable platforms with the ability to incorporate code through APIs and add ons.

Some are just special purpose utilities (eg Postman). Some are niche products with a relatively limited set of use cases(eg Airtable), some are enterprise grade platforms which can be used to build huge systems (eg Salesforce, MS Power platform), and there is every type of gradation between these.

This is a multi billion dollar business, growing steadily. It's going to accelerate even faster as LLM Technologies are increasingly tuned to build code extensions.

...so they decide to hit casinos instead!

US explorer freed after a week from one of Turkey's deepest caves
"More than 150 people were involved in efforts to save caver Mark Dickey after he developed stomach problems in the Morca Cave on 2 September.

Organisers say it was one of the largest and most complicated underground rescues ever mounted.

The lowest point of the Morca Cave, in a remote part of the south, reaches nearly 1.3km (0.8 miles) below ground.

Mr Dickey was brought out of the cave at 00:37 local time (21:37 GMT), the Turkish Caving Federation announced on social media.

Can you actually do anything with that display? As a fellow refuge from umatrix. I would love some of umatrix functionality there.

So to test if I was remembering correctly I just played with the ublock expanded list a bit. You can click on some things(but not everything) and the color changes(sometimes). but I still could not figure if it is just a status display or if it can be used a a tool. As far as I can tell most of ublocks power is hidden inside scripts with no real ui.
presumably you can still open them from the inside

This is a bad argument because there's a million other things that other companies, diverse or not, are best at. It doesn't really tell us much.

I have the same set of experiences. It is incredibly frustrating to both myself and my doctors since I have a family history of high blood pressure, and it is impossible for me to get a baseline measurement. Only time I have ever had normal blood pressure is when I was in the best shape of my life a decade ago, and was considerably more relaxed due to life circumstances — but I distinctively remember not being afraid during the measurement, rather than feeling any different with regards to my overall health.

Also I've fainted, or almost fainted, in an array of circumstances related to needles. My experiences range from moderately humorous to dangerous (I fainted after my first COVID shot at the wheel of my car...thankfully I knew it was coming and put it in park just in time).

Don't feel too bad about being "that guy" — while the experience is incredibly personally uncomfortable, it's actually fairly common. I've just resorted to always having someone with me who knows what may happen and informing all the people involved about my history. Not fun, but it keeps me safe.

Of course it isn't. But it's a starting point for building a team that can deal with what you describe (a decade-plus long timeline, zero room for failure, etc). If the people responsible are more or less insufferable, progress will be extremely difficult, irrespective of how talented they are.
Some useful semi-related context: The Great Man theory of history[1] argues that history is shaped by the actions of a small number of "great men," people like Genghis Khan, Otto von Bismarck, Julius Caesar, Adolf Hitler, FDR, etc. More recently, this theory has come under fire because it erases a lot of the less easily tractable emergent phenomena (e.g.: Hitler was a product of and an amplifier of nationalism in Europe. He didn't invent anti-semitism, or fascism, or German discontent post-WW1. He only got to where he did because of the circumstances, people, and society around him. The Great Man theory erases all of that.)

Similarly, Musk did not invent Silicon Valley VC culture, or green economics, or anti-union tactics, or wealth hyper-accumulation. He is a very influential person, and understanding his life helps people understand the times he lives in, but focusing on him as a Great Man erases a lot of the people and factors that allow him to live the kind of life he has lived, and justifies a lot of behavior that is otherwise unjustifiable.

More on topic: I think the article's author is upset because he wanted "The Power Broker[2]" and got a propaganda piece instead.

Almost every human on earth has come up with 'eat vegetables', correct.

1, most people don't enough of it anyway.

2, I didn't say I came up with. I said I think a massive dose of vegetables for 90 days, that are ultra easy to digest because most fiber has been removed, is beneficial.

3, I didn't say mostly plants. I said all plants. If you try to do that, you'll have a LOT of trouble getting 1000+ calories doing it. Juicing them makes it possible.

But to your first point.. this thread was about people feeling terrible for months after an infection. We don't even know how or why they feel terrible. My advice was to try juicing vegetables, and not eating anything else, for 90 days. Because it has made MANY people that have tried it into believers.

Out of people that have tried it, I'd say 40% think it's a miracle process, 50% think it's very good for you, and 10% think they didn't feel any different.

Out of people that haven't tried it, 10% believe it would be great for them but they dont have the willpower to try it. The other 90% are usually negative about it without really having any good explanation.

> When exactly did we decide that digital video shouldn't be easily recordable like analog video?

The recordability of analog video (in the sense of whether it's OK to do so, not whether it is physically possible—although there was that useless tab on videocassettes), and the acceptability of using a DVR, have not always been settled subjects. To the extent that such things can be quantified, I'd suspect that the amount of conflict over them was roughly comparable if you account for (1) the increased number of people in a position to have an informed opinion and (2) the increased visibility of conflict.

Cybersecurity issue prompts computer shutdowns at MGM Resorts across US
If I recall, Shannon returned a proposal to McCarthy for research during his stay on the cellular automata (perhaps inspired by von Neumann), not machines playing games.

Shannon did foundational research in information theory, communications, cryptography, digital relay circuit design, and gambling. Crediting him for impact on AI and machine learning is a bit of a stretch (even though the IEEE Spectrum and Bell Labs published articles claiming credit, indicating that Shannon played a role).

He was an avid chess player, and demonstrated machines doing various things: playing, finding their ways in a maze, juggling etc. It wasn’t based on a foundational theory of computers playing games (and the approach is different from the reinforcement learning or optimization of the models).
They describe how they constructed their measure of “team quality.” They took the first principal component of five measures: publications in top journals, self-assessed expertise in the literature, experience with big data, academic seniority, and team size.

These sound fairly reasonable to me. Publishing in the top journals is easier with the right connections which makes the first measure questionable. Tenure is also harder to achieve for women which makes the fourth measure questionable. But even if these measures are driven by connections and gender norms, they capture something that is interesting to study further if there’s an association found.

This year we have seen consumer prices for RAM hit 64GB (2x32GB) for less than $100.

Normal yearly background radiation is 4 mSv. US radiation workers have a yearly limit of 50 mSv.

Never get more radiation exposure that you need to but also the EPA numbers are in addition to normal, basically unpreventable, exposure. 7 mSv is not 7x the total.
if only it were as simple as that - what about unique but easily confusable "human-friendly" identifiers?

covered by that page, surfacing here: when the Lack rack was "invented," the legs were made of solid but inexpensive wood. Now the legs are hollow except at the top and bottom. Some people suggest filling them in, or replacing with new 2x2s if anything with some weight will be mounted there.
Does it matter? They could still suspend you. Good luck fighting that.
This all makes me wonder on the efficiency of the original idea. if you have 6 microwaves oriented in each of the directions of an XYZ plane, there would be the assumption that the coverage would be radiating out so there are no gaps in coverage. You could then rotate the rig, but that gets complicated for all 3-axis to rotate. But if you're rotating, then why not just one for each axis. Also, is the axis pointing at the ground even necessary to radiate?

So now we have to consider the wattage of a rotating system, and how fast does it need to rotate so the time not directly being radiated doesn't cause gaps in coverage. There's a lot of variable to cover here.

Editing for clarity is encouraged here, generally.

That was not what I was trying to say.

The math is something like:

MTBF cycles * capacity of battery = usable "life" of the battery

usage of lithium by mass in the battery * best recycling technology recovery rate = recoverable lithium per battery

((mass of lithium in battery - recoverable lithium per battery) / usable "life" of the battery) = lithium effectively used up per joule of energy used from that battery

It may be that that number is zero grams, or a few picograms, so it doesn't matter. But I don't think with current recovery rates on battery recycling that's true. So, while a failed battery has the same mass of lithium as a new battery, effectively every charge-discharge cycle "uses up" some lithium, which ultimately ends up wasted as recycling byproducts or unusable salts.
The data is crap. Patient reported data is notoriously unreliable. Even data reported by clinicians is highly inconsistent between organizations so it takes a huge cleansing and normalization effort to get anything usable for clinical research. Applying ML to it tends to find a bunch of spurious correlations that aren't clinically actionable.

I have been programming since I was a kid, and focusing on generative AI for about the last year. That includes text generation (such as code generation) and text-to-image. I mainly use the OpenAI API for text generation and the Stability.AI API or replicate.com for image generation.

I am working on my own website/web application generation tool which I am making good progress on. To fund that development I have been doing contracts such as:

- a "live" updating sketch-to-image editor powered by AI,

- answering user questions about a specific database by having GPT write Kusto Query Language (SQL-like) queries and summarize the output

- the KQL system can use vector search for relevant query guidance in addition to having the AI manually select from a menu of KB articles

- a project that allows users to upload documents and then creates a vector index and provides Slack bot that can answer questions about that knowledgebase.

I have extensive recent experience with Node.js, JavaScript/TypeScript, some experience with React and Python, some with smart contracts, some C#/.NET (a long time ago), C/C++, PHP, etc.

I am currently only charging $2500 per week. Most "simple" projects end up taking close to two weeks.

VB6's concept of OOP was simple enough it could have been translated into .NET and .NET is broadly compatible with COM. I'm certain Microsoft could have made it work. They really needed to consider VB6 as a backwards compatibility target instead of building VB.NET as a modern replacement. VB.NET really has no reason to exist; it's not compatible enough with VB6 but then also includes a bunch of VB6's weirdness.

I like to make fun of YT as much as anyone, but even this "everything, all the time should be mine" is a farcical concept to me.
PeerTube is a useful form of decentralization. Each video is stored on its home site, but playout is distributed by making the browsers of people watching it share the streaming load. So if your video on your tiny PeerTube-connected site goes viral, your tiny site will not overload. All the viewers become redistribution nodes. At least in theory, this scales. The highest view count I can find on PeerTube is around 5K recent, not concurrent, views.

I put technical videos on Hardlimit on PeerTube, because Google's ads are annoying and I don't need "discovery" or "followers". The videos are linked from discussions and papers.
This works fine, but is not the usual use case, where people are seeking fame, fortune, or at least attention.

HDTV (ATSC) was available in 1998 in the US[1]; consumer uptake wasn't much until close to the shutdown of analog broadcasting, but it was out there. NBC broadcasts in 1080i, so it's not terribly surprising that they recorded it in a way that would look good on 1080p. I can't find anything saying exactly how it was recorded, but it wasn't uncommon to film in 1080p/24 and broadcast with 3:2 pulldown. That kind of content will look great as 1080p obviously; but if it was recorded at 1080i, a professional deinterlacing will look pretty good too.
