Technology always moves slower than what people think it will.

What always happens is that people let their imaginations run away, both with what the technology can do, and with how people will adopt it instantly in masse.

If everyone you know is using AI, you're living in a bubble. I have one friend who thinks everyone is using AI, and the rest of my friends have only touched it superficially.
What sucks is those sensors are designed so you can't just jump a wire to permanently defeat them.

You can, however, tape the sender and receiver together.
But the real question is how does it compare to the real one, do people listen to it at the same level and for the same amount of time (no). It’s neat, and I work in ML/AI, but it’s missing depth, coherency, and in some way an actual window into the real world.
This reminds me of my village story. Two brothers married and lived next to each other. The wives hated each other and competed on everything. If brother 1 got something brother 2 had to buy the same thing but bigger.

Over time they ended up building homes in this manner too and one of the brothers purchases the largest available plastic watertant on roof. Offended the other brother decided that he will build even bigger water tank. So they built a massive concrete water taken on the roof.

However the problem with this tank was that it would simply not retain the water which was pumped into it via a small motor pump which pulled the water from nearby well.

This resulted into the brother accusing the brother of "black magic" and engaging in daily fist fights and abuse.

Eventually someone figured out that the person who connected the intake pipe connected it at the bottom of the tank. So wehn the tank was full the water would simply go back to the well.

Normally we'd prefer the earlier submission but the other one has the original source so I guess we'll stick with that. Sorry mh-cx! It's on the list to implement URL-aggregating and karma-sharing for cases like this.
Natural language generation as well
Good point, I said computation, but I was thinking more of the storage and routing pieces of that rather than the gates, likely because I don’t understand quantum gates very well. Most of the quantum ecc I have read about was in the storage lifetime and retrieval process.

Basically what I mean is that classical computing can split things up during storage or routing to reduce coupling, but quantum can’t do this because the qbits must stay entangled to be useful

Then why they are still getting subsidies ? We're essentially taking a part of the tax, give it to farmers, so instead of paying less tax we pay less for foods, except wasting a ton of it along the way for bureaucracy

Same here. I have to admit that the story was a lot more exciting in my mind before I realized my mistake.
Those might be field engineers, but I have heard of the WiFi teams at computer companies going out to people's houses to test especially weird situations.
So far I've used Medium.com but I rarely find the time to blog these days. I was considering dev.to as you can rather easily convert a Medium blog post to Markdown which dev supports.
Best part is it works for the whole device, not just specific apps.
So cars are roughly 10 times safer than riding horses? And that's without accounting for the difference in distance travelled. The number of injuries for the car are staggeringly high because of how common they are. I bet if we enacted policies that made owning a horse as likely as owning a car, we would also find that every minutes a several horse riders get injured.
For almost all of human history almost all humans spent almost all of their income/labor on feeding themselves. Not only is cheap food a good thing, it's one of the best.
That's pretty amazing.

This doesn't provide device or app-level granularity, but I can see my network's total bandwidth usage for previous hours, days, and months, which is useful for avoiding Comcast's 1.2TB data cap.
> as well as translating any language into any other language which is supposedly 3PO's whole schtick.

To be pedantic, language is only half the job, as a protocol droid it's C3POs job to understand social protocols, ie etiquette, and knowing what one culture might misunderstand about another and smooth over any faux pas, a task that requires considerable empathy and attention to subtle emotional cues.

i'm very curious to know what it would take to turn a language model designed to respond to prompts, and create something that can proactively interrupt a situation - to realize when it has something to contribute, and keeping its virtual mouth shut otherwise.
I'm looking forward to playing a little experiment with this: I'm going to run this on the Linux kernel tree, sight unseen, and knowing nothing about the structure of the Linux kernel – will it help me navigate it for the first time?

Could be an older component stopped being available. Like when Apple switched to environmentally friendly lead free solder, but then the NVidia laptop GPUs got so hot they unsoldered themselves.
We're talking past each other because we're arguing different things. If I understand you, you're saying that you can avoid technical debt by using tools that are intrinsically more performant, and that skilled developers are more productive with more advanced tooling.

That's all correct.

But the point I'm making is that if an MVP isn't accruing technical debt, it's over-engineered. Most of them will be thrown away, or rescoped, and so taking on technical debt is an advantageous strategy: you only have to pay the technical debt on the few survivors.

Shopify at its offset was a CRUD app (fun fact: it started as a snowboarding shop), and in 2006, Rails was a great choice for that.

Your notions are fine for an established company building a piece of infrastructure they're certain they'll need. But that's not what Shopify was, and it's not the spot most startups picking a framework are at.

Your thing about developer quality is kind of meh. Building the first versions of a shopping platform isn't rocket surgery. You don't need Anthony Bourdain to make a sandwich. Particularly if you're not sure anybody wants a sandwich.
What's wrong with "artificially clean"? The goal of benchmarks is to compare and know whether one model is better than the other. There is never a "perfect" or "objective" benchmark. Different benchmarks may highlight advantages in certain models, which is a good thing, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with using MNIST as a dataset to give you a basic idea of how models perform.

Having grown up in the one quarter to play era, pinball machines were refreshing. You could make your game last via skill, or even just holding the ball on the flipper. In comparison video games would take your quarter and ramp up difficulty until you died.

Memorable games for me were more modest, such as "8-ball deluxe" with lots of targets or "black knight" with a second set of flippers.

Games nowadays seem to be too deep to play in an arcade on the way home from school (if any such venues exist anymore). Seems to me like asking you to play skyrim a quarter at a time.

I liked their advice - “go to the auto store and buy a bottle of something with ‘miracle’ in the name.”
I’ll add to the crazy anecdotes with something that happened to me a few months ago.

I had a brand new AC/heater hvac system installed last year. Encountered this problem, the AC would just turn off. First time, called the AC company and they come out. After a few visits, they pinpoint the problem as the condensation pump, it’s just a small water pump that’s down in my basement to push water out a little PVC pipe. When the water fills up in the reservoir, a pump kicks on and moves water. If the water gets too full, a sensor turns the AC off. After the rd visit they decide that “the grade isn’t gradual enough and the pump turns off”. They replace the pvc. Fourth attempt they replace the pump, pump must have failed. Fifth visit, they replace the pump with a different brand. Sixth visit they disconnect the automatic shutoff of the AC, my basement floods with water. Seventh call they change the pvc pipe again. Eighth call they are baffled, say everything is working as it should, give it time.

After they leave, my wife goes “whenever I turn the basement light on, I hear a weird noise”. I immediately turn the switch off and walk down into the basement and test the outlet. The light oddly enough controls a random outlet the pump was connected to. Every time a tech came over, they turned the switch on.

I still wonder how many more phone calls it would have taken before they figured it out.

Still getting heavy "both sides are the same!" vibes, which really isn't helpful (or remotely true).
If Lululemon tried to market tradwife conservatism to young urban women and it backfired, would you call that censorship? Marketing is about feels and vibes and image—customers are entitled to react to that. Beer, athletic wear, etc., are image and identity-based businesses. That’s different than a trucking company, or a credit card company, or YouTube.

A better example would be the Dixie Chicks boycott after the Bush comments, where major radio stations refused to play their music.

Cool! Do you intend to compete with Cardmarket in the EU as well? Or just start up in the US?
Getting new players seems like a difficult problem at the moment because the top paper formats are either extremely expensive (Modern) or extremely difficult rules wise (Commander). I think they tried to simplify Commander/EDH with the introduction of Brawl which simplifies rules by:

1. Limiting cards to standard.
2. Making the game 1v1 instead of a 4-player deathmatch.

(1) is unpopular with existing players for obvious reasons, but it is great for new players because it makes it much easier to get cards (even cheap cards can be difficult to actually obtain if they were only printed once back in 2003) and because you limit the number of mechanics players need to know about. For example, there are plenty of confusing mechanics present in eternal formats not present in standard like reanimate, splice, and morph.

(2) simplifies the game immensely because you only need to deal with two boards. It's also a much better fit for tournaments and game store events. I'm so much of a more competent player in 1v1 because I can actually read the board.
Are you implying that AI will replace 60% of jobs in the time that "regular" progress replaces 1% of jobs?

I agree that that would be a big disruption, and it would take some time to adapt to a 150% increase in productivity.

Some temporary measures to make the adjustment might be needed.

But it would in the end be one of the best things that ever happened to humanity!

Recently I have been getting acquainted with Aliexpress. For eBay, I look for significant history with over 99% positive feedback.

For Aliexpress, is there a positive feedback threshold you hold yourself to? Recently I bought some 3d printer parts from TriangleLab (which I know is reputable) but they had a ~98% positive feedback rate which gave me pause.
Agreed, so how do you get from that to mistrusting only China? Everyone, including China/Huawei, has an interest in growing the pie. Some entities have an interest in zero-sum competition with me and mine. That's more likely to be someone closer - Chinese companies aren't competing directly with my business, but American, Australian and Israeli ones are.

This simply does not scale.

Small instances from enthusiasts are being funded by the person/people running it, but if we assume that one "small instance" can serve up to 100 people while costing pocket change to the admin, we would need 20 million "hobbyists" running their instances if the fediverse is to become an alternative to Facebook or Instagram.

Larger instances based on donations are all struggling. Fosstodon started open and donation based and promised to take any surplus and donate to the upstream projects. Their last donation was in 2021 [0]. Now they even closed down for new signups and made it invite-only. Newsie.social, an instance made for journalists have 20000 sign ups, 2300 active users and less than 2% of the active user base contributes. The admin has been pleading for support in an attempt to keep it open, but it's quite likely they will announce it will close. It's ridiculous.

Developed countries have dwindling population (well, at least exclusing immigration). And I think it's safe to assume when other countries catch up similar thing will happen, at the very least to the point of levelling up. Hell even India, the biggest country by number of people, is already at 2.0

We don't need to feed more, we just need to bring the education and standard of living if the world up. And maybe figure out how to make the people in developed countries to have sustainable birth rate...

I know the history of xml, but just to get back to my original premise: why has a tag (a kind of key in the mind of most readers) multiple "kinds" of values/children in parallel, especially one set that is map-shaped (attributes) while the other is array-shaped (proper children)?
This is actually an interesting issue the Midjourney team has thought a lot about. As each version has gotten "better", ie more realistic, there's been some loss of the "artistic" side. There are a lot of users who still use the old V2 model (compared to the most recent V5) specifically because of how "bad" it was. The grimy and less coherent parts are what they're actually looking for, instead of a more precise or perfect looking result. This has led to there being flags for adding in more stylisation or "weirdness" or being able to choose between more realistic or more artistic versions of models.
I wish I could scroll on mobile. Great job on your web design.
I much more prefer the tempeh to meat. (I have cut back only ti social occasions as I am a little bit addicted to taste/climate)
I would to have more alternatives that are not trying to mimic meat/cheese, but traditional things or creative ones like tempeh/tofu/kimchi/all fermented.

Similarly instead of vegan burger/falafel there are amazing traditional cuisine like Shojin Ryori (vegan japanease cuisine)
You might want to contact some organisations that deal with this, like NOYB [1].

IANAL, and I think the law is... more sophisticated than just "EU citizens worldwide"; but it happens to catch most of bigTech's anyway; because a bunch of their operations are legally running out of Ireland (for tax avoidance reasons) [2]; but I'll readily admit that this mostly something I have seen mentioned online few times and didn't do any deep research on.

Borrow an aircraft headset and try it out. They are deliberately designed to block out aircraft engine noise and emphasise the speaker's voice. The microphone should be sited about half an inch (1 cm) away from the lips.

The problem with dog barks and other transient noises like that is that they come at random times and can't be predicted beforehand.

Aviation headsets are expensive, hence the advice to borrow one first. This ad is from an Australian website - prices where you are would vary a lot.

Is rust warning you about pointer overflow? My understanding is that rust is complaining about integer overflow but perhaps that's insufficient?

(I don't actually know which solution is better/worse from perf perspective besides author's post)
The problem is, once you ossify, you can't upgrade for whatever reason or extend functionality because the build tools will get lost or won't run on modern stacks any more.

Or, say, some industrial machine - you might wish to allow network connectivity so that the vendor/service teams can get notified once a sensor detects signs of upcoming failure such as vibrations. But you can't connect it to your network, or have to take it off your network once the vendor's security support has passed, because otherwise you're just asking hackers to establish persistence on the system.
I like to play a game I call Dangerous Directions. The rules are as follows:

1. Actually be prepared. Have a real map, the right equipment and know how to use it.

2. Pick a remote, scenic destination.

3. Put it into Google Maps and try to get there.

You lose if:

1. You successfully get to your destination on a road passable by a normal passenger vehicle.

2. You don't get to your destination due to vehicle/equipment failure or being unprepared for the hazards encountered.

You win if:

1. Google's route required 4wd with bonus points for river crossings, rock crawling and other hazards.

2. Google's route is utterly impassable or otherwise impossible with bonus points for distance traveled in the wrong direction.

The places Google Maps will happily take you with nary a warning can be quite dangerous if you don't know what you are doing. I've encountered numerous people (some obviously lost, others oblivious to their actual situation) in places they frankly had no business being just because they were blindly following a GPS to something they saw on Instagram.

Doesn't prevent the very rude iOS updates. When there's a system update, it's not a notification, it's an alert, followed by a fullscreen modal to "enter your passcode to install overnight" with a small button to dismiss at the bottom. That's, I have to say, from a company that prides itself on the best UX in the industry.
Hey, one of the devs here! JS library already works with Node via `better-sqlite3` library. We provide a way to set up listeners to data changes, or you can just start up a node client and do some work periodically on the synced data.

The real issue is the cost/barrier to entry. I'm pretty sure Japan would be full in 4-5 years if they would open the gates(i.e a free border with the world). It's not like the immigrants are looking for cultural assimilation. Maybe their children but that's not a sure thing either. You can see that in Paris and London where even the 2nd or 3rd generation is still living within the same "communities" with little cultural assimilation. With enough mass immigration you may see a reverse assimilation.
There's an irony of me getting distracted from what I should be doing by looking at ditraction filters...
> The days of GNU significant relevance have passed haven’t they?

why on earth are you suggesting a thing is true that you've not looked into?

> There’s so many incarnations of Linux that surely GNU is relevant in only a small number of cases?

essentially all Linux systems aside from Alpine and Android use glibc and a GNU userland, and GCC is still the dominant compiler.

I guess this is just very low-effort trolling?

I’ve been really happy with NextDNS for blocking trackers and ads via DNS for my iPhone. You can create a provisioning profile for iOS and also have the ability to turn the blocking on and off on demand.a

Since iOS doesn’t make it easy to run a flush DNS command, I’ve discovered turning airplane mode on and off will clear your cache.
How about spare parts? Sure, IDE disk drives (aka the thing that fails the most often) can be replaced by CF cards, but if your software hasn't been touched in 20 years, good luck getting it to run on a "modern" embedded board. You'd have an easier time if you had invested into keeping the embedded OS, the build environment and the boards reasonably up-to-date.
I would also make a guess that cars operated at the same speed (with current safety equipment) that cars would be closer to 100 times safer than horses. The entire velocity squared multiples quickly.
