But being the actual business owner is also not "demolishing a bathroom and installing tile." While AI won't be able to physically demo a bathroom, it's conceivable that it will eventually be able to run a business better than a human entrepreneur.

The only jobs that seem to be safe (for the medium term) are jobs that require some physical manipulation of the world. Like, the actual, hands-on physical work that tradespeople do. Although they'll eventually fall to AI-powered robots.
Ditto.

Hate is a strong word, and I hate typing on phones or tablets by trying to hit small shapes behind glass with the tips of my fingers.

I like the feel of pencils, particularly softer ones like 2B, 3B, or 4B, on paper, preferably those with texture like recycled brown paper that is often used as a tablecloth in Italian trattorias, the good ones, that aren’t too expensive.

The smell of pencil lead and paper and the sound that a pencil marking paper makes both help me absorb and remember things.

KSP1 has actually atrophied quite a bit, as many of mods that are essentially necessary for serious play no longer work with the newer versions.
> S3 API has become lingua franca

S3 API support sounds great until your costumer builds a system with an "S3 compatible object storage" product. Soon you discover that many "S3 compatible" solutions aren't actually that compatible when pushed.
You can do the same thing the other way around - https://github.com/apple/swift/blob/main/docs/Android.md.
I agree. I think the fact that people had a choice _not to_ use an implement is just as important as the fact that they had a choice _to_ use an implement. Also important: _how_ the implement was used. When I read about this performance, it's pretty immediately evident that the choice was a large part of this performance.
The article is about the F-35A.

> The U.S. Marine Corps has already shown its ability to use its short and vertical takeoff and landing capable F-35Bs in this way, as The War Zone has previously reported.
I should have added in my example that I was talking about a breakdown in relationships or ability to help between 2 living family members. Of course orphans or people with no living family is very difficult situation.
The fact that “burst mode” was used makes this coincidence far more likely.

Nevertheless, pretty cool ;)
I have never ever ever seen a null inside an Optional -- the most common constructor actually Optional::ofNullable makes the correct decision, so you can't even fck it up, and if you deliberately try to, I'm sure intellij would scream your head off.
That's a major failure of government.

We have quartz composite worktops in Europe too. I'm pretty sure that people aren't getting silicosis from them here. You can buy them in IKEA

I think that's specific to the Marine version.
> how were funds stolen by hacking into a database?

Sometimes "decentralized" really means "running on a theoretically distributed network, but practically we host all the nodes/have emergency root keys/exclusively provide the software running on them and the clients used to access them – only for now, we promise!"

This particular project also seems to heavily lean on Intel SGX, according to its most recent public whitepaper from 2018 [1] and also seems to offer wallet recovery using only a user's mobile phone number and a 6-digit PIN [2] – combine that with not too many actually administratively distributed nodes, and it's not too hard to imagine what could have gone wrong...

Edit: Actually the entire proposal sounds ridiculous, unless I'm missing something: The protocol claims to offer secure, yet recoverable device-local keys, but it all seems to boil down to a trusted and independent set of signer nodes (see above for problems), as well as users being able to store a "per-device ephemeral secret" securely and locally, with backup considerations basically left as an exercise to the reader, and the reference implementation seems to just upload that backup to a central API...

Germany to scrap plan for tougher building rules
> but a question of whether the "gods" we create will love us or hate us.

You (and pretty much the entire debate around AI safety) have smuggled in the notion that these AIs even have the capacity to "love" and "hate," and have the agency to perhaps act vindictively. How we get from predicting the most plausible next token to a god-like entity with agency is... not clear at all.

Do people think that we're actually sleepwalking towards skynet? Or are they just saying that so that Sam Altman can get the government to put in rules that bind everyone else while allowing OpenAI to proceed without competition and capture the extremely mundane real market of writing ad copy and such.
This is typical of Intel’s weak leadership and focus on short term profits instead of long term success.

Just look at how they dragged their feet in transitioning to EUV because it was too expensive. This contributed to large delays in their 10 and 7 nm processes and a total loss in their process leadership.

And look at how many billions they poured into making a 5G modem only to give up and sell their IP to Apple.

Or how they dragged their feet in getting into mobile, then came out with Atom way too late to be successful in the market. They essentially gave the market to ARM.

Optane is another recent example. Cool technology, but if a product is not a smashing success right away, Intel throws in the towel.

There’s no real long term vision that I can see. No resilience to challenges or ability to solve truly difficult problems.
> You and the poster must know each other quite well.

Yeah, we do brunch most Sundays. It’s definitely that instead of what I wrote as the reason. You figured it out.
Surely you can do something to give yourself an illusion of control on the metro just like you do on the freeway.
It falls in a weird technological in-between.

If you need good performance and highly efficient data usage on a spotty or non-existent connection, a POP email client is the way to go. The basic HTML site has zero advantages in comparison.

If you have access to a half decent web browser, chances are it’s perfectly capable of running the JavaScript mobile version. Sure, it runs JavaScript, but it’s not exactly heavy.

Like, why? How much maintenance could it possibly be for them, versus some segment of their users with limited/expensive connectivity who possibly depend on Gmail daily losing maybe the only usable means they have of accessing it.

Lame.
Best guess is that someone in marketing thinks calling them Tiles will make Intel look better because people won't realize they're just following behind AMD in this respect.
I don't see that much of a difference between those two definitions. Cory's explanation was more specific, but it still referred to a service taking steps to be more profitable and in the process making the experience shittier for users and business customers.

A bit weird that cross platform apps use dot files or dot directories directly in %Home% on Windows. If they already are cross platform, thus taken the time and resources to do that, why not add a compile flag to move them into %AppData%?
> When he asked for an explanation, John Cage said the he did not have to throw coins "because my mind is random."

Was Cage claiming some kind of spiritual musical connection from choosing pitches based on the I Ching? If not, then it was just a practical compositional consideration. He didn't need cryptographically secure sequences, and-- at least in terms of music cognition-- at worst he ended up repeating consecutive pitches fewer times than he should have. (And if he started with I Ching-derived patterns he may have noticed the repetitions and successfully emulated them with his mind!)

After all, his general need for random processes was to avoid accidentally falling back into patterns from the common practice period of tonal music (esp. patterns from the Romantic era). In other words, his mind was basically good enough for the avant garde. :)
MIT is starting up a design center to be located in the old Metropolitan Warehouse. One of the directors on the engineering faculty has done a lot of research on how designers work, especially early stage design. When the center was profiled in Tech Review last year, she noted that sketching (including on paper) still has a role to play:

Among other things, Yang has found that the very existence of those visual representations matters greatly: designers who do even basic, preliminary sketching consistently generate more design ideas. As she and a coauthor wrote in a 2007 paper, there is “an important interplay between a designer’s ability to sketch and their ability to visualize in their heads or through prototypes.” She has even found that if designers aren’t highly skilled at drawing, that doesn’t affect the quality of their final design outcomes; it just matters that they draw at all.

https://www.technologyreview.com/2022/12/19/1063906/design-c...

Whiteboarding also falls into this realm ... not paper, but it enables the act of sketching without a digital intermediary.
I also like the spatial context, but tend to misplace paper.

Suggest to try using multiple desktops: one for work project A, another for personal email, etc. Open a browser tab or text editor window on the top left of each desktop with a note about what this one is for. In the case of work projects that tab will often be the bug report covering the task at hand. This way when I get defocused, it's a simple process to tab between the desktops, reading the index tab to reacquire wtf this screen was for.

There are all sorts of tik tok and youtube 'reviewers' of products that are basically a decentralized version of QVC.
No, horsepower to torque*rpm (and some other factors) is what you get at high RPMs which you normally accelerate from a stop. Once you are up to speed your transmission switches to low RPM where you get less horsepower, but better fuel efficiency.

I follow what independent authors are trying for marketing, and some of them are having great success with TikTok. For them it absolutely is changing how books are sold, as before finding success on TikTok, they literally weren’t selling much of anything.

As the article mentions, romance authors are doing the best, but there are authors like AP Beswick (writes dark fantasy retellings of popular legends) who have gone full time indie off the back of TikTok sales.

Maybe they would have been successful without TikTok, but right now it’s how they find an audience.
The article references the F-35A which is the conventional take-off/landing variant whereas the VTOL variant is the F-35B.
Were there examples of schools trying to follow something similar during the peak of covid lockdowns? Such a simple solution if you think about it.

> it's cheaper in the long run.

It depends on how much you're actually selling. Consider how much would it cost to hire devs to build your own custom engine? (Don't forget console support). Your game needs to pull in 20x higher than that in revenue for it to be worth the choice over a 5% rev share.

We have these worktops in Europe too, without the health problems as far as I can tell.

It seems that the US either lacks suitable health and safety legislation or fails to enforce it.
> So if a human is unable to produce value, they don't get (food/education/heathcare/<resource>)?

I would agree that some people are simply unable to help and need the help themselves and should get it. UBI or some other social safety net should be there for that.
I mean, all of the Germanic languages are superficially similar if you know what to look for:

* Jeg drikker god maelk

* Ich trinke gute Milch

But I would be hard pressed to say they're more similar than Dutch:

* Ik drink goede melk

Or Frisian:

* Ik drink goede molke

* (I drink good milk)

It becomes even more obvious when you hear them spoken. But sure, your opinion might differ; especially since Dutch and German are close siblings, closer to each other than either is to English.

As someone that dabbled in learning both, Dutch was moderately easier for me. Additionally, the Dutch have the highest non-native English fluency (as a populace). Just a couple extra pieces of anecdota.
Lowe's supposedly honors the Craftsman lifetime warranty. I haven't tried it, last time I needed to use the warranty was 30 years ago when in the middle of some car repair job I was doing I took the busted wrench into Sears, still dressed in my grimy clothes I was wearing and covered in grease, I handed them the broken wrench and they simply handed me a new one. No questions asked, no paperwork. They handed me a new one and I walked out the door.
I think a key difference is that humans very rarely sound convincing talking about subjects they have no clue about.

I've seen the hallucination rate of LLMs improve significantly, if you stick to well covered topics they probably do quite well. The issue is they often have no tells when making things up.
Oh I believe your reasons.

The proposed law also provides that the bike’s registration number must appear in a “legible, irremovable and tamper-proof manner, in a locatable and visible place without manipulation of the bicycle.”

It will be the owner’s responsibility to ensure the law is complied with, and no obligation will be placed on manufacturers to satisfy its requirements.
> these problems virtually do not impact me.

I'm confused, what are you suggesting? That Rust hits a global sweet spot already, the complainers are struggling because they are holding it wrong, and there shouldn't be an attempt to change anything?
The article seems to equate lgtm to "not carefully reviewed".

Where I work, we only open pull requests when we feel the code must be reviewed. When I open a PR, I trust my colleagues to carefully review the code and they make you prove your code is fine if in doubt or let you know if there's something to improve / that could be improved.

If they write lgtm, they mean it. Lgtm does not mean "I didn't review the changes".

It's not specific to my team, I've also seen it when contributing to random OSS project.

I don't want people to try hard to come up with something to say, if it looks good (or even good enough, often) let's just merge and move on.

Now, sure, if a PR is open, let's carefully review it and comment if needed. But deciding that lgtm is bad seems unwise and looks like cargo culting.

If someone writes lgtm and did not carefully review / raise something that could be improved, that's the thing to fix. If needed.

Fix the disease, not a symptom.

LGTM when things look good makes PRs efficient, it encourages opening PRs and thus getting good reviews when needed.
They could have kept the HTML view as the only public view. It would benefit everyone, as it was faster than the react app. Instead they now have to keep backporting security fixes to the 3.5.x branch for admins who don't want to force the new view on their users. (Well, the 3.5.x branch will stop getting security updates in three months, we'll see how many admins will still refuse to update to 4.x.x then.)
I've found that today's pen/tablet experience is pretty close to paper, with the added benefit that I can't lose the work and I can easily share it. Surface Pro X for me, but the larger iPads probably work as well for this.
A Laser Fusion Breakthrough Gets a Bigger Burst of Energy
The article references the F-35A which is a conventional take off and landing aircraft (CTOL). The F-35B is the short take off and vertical landing (STOVL) variant. The F-35B belongs to the marines is capable of using extremely short and improvised runways and this has been part of its operational concept for quite a while[1]. For an expeditionary force that kind of thing is important.

The F-35A is a bit different in that its a normal air force fighter. This is just proving that if push comes to shove it can be operated out of improvised bases.

That feels a bit negative and hostile. They can do both. Price of hosting this event is, hopefully, negligible compared to money that goes into Firefox development.
