And that's why people like Jonathan blow and Casey Muratori have for so many years now warned game devs about this and learn how to make a game engine from scratch. Hopefully some listened.
I think it's less to do with regulation, and more to do with China acquiring most of the production capacity for the necessary components. Makes it easier to move quickly and iterate when the vendors are right there and speak your language.
I see the teens at the bus-stop and wow they are ruining their posture for life. Its very sad.
You're right. Ultimately the only way this will really work is as an end-to-end model. Text will only get you so far. We could approximate it now with screenplay-like emotion annotations on text, which LLMs should both easily understand and be able to produce themselves (though you'd have to train a new speech recognition system to produce them). But end-to-end will be required eventually to reach human level fluency.
It is probably not true today, but it may well have been true in 2010 or so, when Youtube started prioritizing watch time over raw views for the very first time. Back then, let's-plays were the cheapest content to produce in large volume, so the algorithm pushed it hard. And it just so happened that Minecraft released around that time. It's quite possible that Minecraft would not have become the phenomenon that it has become without this lucky coincidence.

Paper is enormous and extremely high resolution. Even a shitty printer has a higher dpi than almost any screen and you can do get an almost arbitrarily large print at that dpi instead of constantly losing density.

that's why we all keep using it for maps.
Agonizing about optimization =/= optimization. You don't need to "try".
It’s just a couple steps behind on the euphemism treadmill, is all.

Plus “inmates” has narrowed in meaning a bit, so that reads harsher than it was probably intended. That doesn’t help.
You understand the data structure. Probably the chaining rule, even probably the monoid in the category of endofunctors. What you don't understand is the existence of it.

Monads is a solution for dealing with IO in a strongly typed programming language, where we want all functions to be pure, and we don't have access to linear types. (almost) Every other programming language, when it had the chance at doing this, just threw the towel without a fight, and decided to allow IO everywhere. Haskell decided to stick to its principles instead, and produced something different, guided by a different set of constraints. Different means with different tradeoffs in different places. If Haskell instead decided to allow mutability everywhere, like most programming languages, we wouldn't be talking about it. Because it would be another language with weird syntax, and you can find a lot of them in the list of defunct programming languages at wikipedia.

And the juice is worth the squeeze if you want to see breakthrough things in programming, and not just another Algol with updated syntax.

For reference, other samples of groundbreaking (to some degree) stuff:

* Rust: mutability only when the borrow checker allows it

* Coroutines/continuations: functions that depart away from the entry/exit model

* Prolog: a programming language constructed around functions with 4 connection points: enter/exit/fail/redo
My older kid’s school was founded in the 1915 respiratory pandemic era and had a significant outdoor component for the intervening 100 years.

They still closed for part of the time early in COVID, but quickly switched to partial in-person with significant outdoor time. I think it was effective, surely better educationally and socially than my younger’s elementary school that stayed closed for a far longer time.
Before trying MDMA I had mostly written it off as a feel-good drug: an artificial high like cocaine or meth, useful only for escapism. Why bother chasing that sort of experience? But now having tried most of the commonly used psychedelics, I've come to believe that MDMA is the most profound of them all.

MDMA does feel good, of course, but it's not escapist. It’s a deep, wholesome, fundamentally healing sort of goodness. It is unconditional, redeeming love and forgiveness — the core of Christian spirituality. It is the revelation that you really are lovable, even your darkest, hidden parts, and that you are capable of love. Debatably, there is no more profound lesson to be learned about the human condition. It really is magical.

Even so, the experience is surprisingly subtle. It doesn't particularly force positive feelings ("ecstasy" is a total misnomer, IMHO). At first you don't necessarily even notice any effect at all, maybe just a mildly better-than-average mood. But gradually it becomes clear that this subtle sense of well-being is infinitely deep: nothing you might experience can possibly disturb it. All sense of shame and self-judgement, fear of rejection, hang-ups that get in the way of connecting with people --- all dissolve immediately on contact. And from that sense of absolute safety, the capacity to love emerges naturally. The drug doesn't generate it. It just helps you get out of your own way.

I've taken MDMA a few times now just on my own at home (lacking a rave community, although I'm sure that's a fantastic experience also), where it's relatively easy to implement harm reduction measures: stay hydrated, take protective supplements, get a full night's sleep before and after, and wait multiple months between doses (doing all these, I've never experienced a ‘hangover’, just a positive afterglow). I've found the most rewarding results from trying to keep my attention grounded in bodily sensation, gently returning to the body whenever I notice I've become lost in thought. Often, difficult memories or associations will surface of their own accord, sensing that it's safe to do so, and seeing them from a loving perspective can be immensely healing.

I really hope we can eventually find our way to making this experience legally and safely available to everyone who wants it. Yes, MDMA has sharp edges; it's not as physiologically benign as the classic psychedelics, but it's not addictive and it can be used safely. Not everyone has good experiences every time, but compared to the classical psychedelics, it's much more reliably positive. It apparently has some effectiveness as a medicine for specific illnesses like PTSD, but IMHO the real condition it treats is much broader: the universal human condition of feeling more walled off than we'd like to be.

One last galaxy-brain thought: if we ever figure out a way to replicate MDMA's pro-social effects that people could safely use on a day-to-day basis, it might be the most valuable thing we ever invent. One could even see it as the metaphorical second coming of Jesus, his kingdom on earth achieved through purely secular means. How's that for a career goal? :-)
This argument was made (practically verbatim) to defend tobacco, asbestos, and fossil fuels. It's easy to fund and publish a sloppy study that shows no correlation, and then claim the findings in the literature are "contradictory".

The studies I'm referring to go back to the 1970's. I've seen many that show strong negative effects, and some that show no or inconclusive effects. None show positive effects.

At this point, if the negative effect studies are statistical anomalies, then there should also be a roughly equal number of studies showing positive effects too.

I went on a bit of a rabbithole trying to look for firmware downloads for the G1000 to run `strings` on but sadly they're not publicly available anywhere.

But I'm very happy to be able to say that you don't need to be sad you didn't get a photo anymore because I found https://mooneyspace.com/topic/21333-g1000-pfd-start-up-error... :D

No amount of quote-googling got me any further though, which was why I went firmware hunting. Now at least I have a good conversation starter for anyone who looks like they might have a dealer account next time I'm at a hangar though...

There is more than simply preferential reasons to keep paper around. Some of them were touched on by the article:

* Paper does not run out of battery. On a ship where you need to be able to navigate whether or not the computer fails, this is a feature. My brother-in-law tells a story of when he was an air traffic controller in the military. Every so often they told them they had to turn off their computers and navigate the pilots in the air using paper to make sure they knew how to do it in case the computers failed and the power turned off.

* Paper cannot be hacked. In the article, Russian intelligence and MI5 were mentioned, as well as paper prescriptions. Of all highly secure mediums, paper is the most convenient.

* Paper is just handy. I use it right now to print out knitting patterns and write notes on them. I don't have to find some app to annotate the pattern I can just write directly on the paper. For what it is, paper is the default because it is so fully featured.
ML/AI engineers get paid a lot more for the same experience as other software engineers at Intel, so much so that there’s a “soft” Principal Engineer grade where they don’t go through the usual nomination process
Fwiw, I send my pre-schooler to one. They often go by the lower-case name "forest school", although there is an official Forest School in the east bay, and frankly the outdoors that the kids spend time in is more of a cross of beach and park, less forest.

When it rains, they wear galoshes and get suited up.

Forest schools tend to have a "learning through play" philosophy, at least the ones I'm aware of.

https://learningthroughplay.com/explore-the-research/the-sci...

I suspect they do well at socializing kids, and letting them figure things out for themselves. Definitely not doing some version of teaching to the test.

Other advantage: it stayed open during COVID.

Disadvantage: The smoke season in CA is a problem.
We had a great example of this in a recent Geomob London talk: ask Google Maps to route from Wairiki, Fiji (-16.8048, 179.9893) to Welagi, Fiji (-16.7349, -179.9439), two villages on the coastal road of the same island and about 10km apart, but as you can see from the coordinates on opposite sides of the anti-meridian.

You get "Sorry, we could not calculate driving directions from "Wairiki, Fiji" to "Welagi, Fiji"

Maybe slightly off topic but does anyone know what's happening with powerline?

It seems to have stalled out development in about 2015. G.Hn has came along but doesn't seem to offer speeds that are any better. I can get about 150mbit/sec on AV1200 adaptors and maybe double that on 300mbit/sec.

It seems to me that if "WiFi 7" esque modulation techniques were used with powerline we could get far better speeds on it. For example 8x8 MIMO (AV2000 uses 2x2), with perhaps a larger frequency band would enable multigigabit over powerline?
Hyperbolically, you could just round up to "all major changes in day to day general human behavior since 1890, except indoor plumbing, vitamin supplementation, and vaccination" and be within shouting distance.
Pixel 6 Pro and Watch are great and I've had no hardware or software issues of any kind.
Android updates often do not come with kernel updates. Major kernel updates are difficult because of the tangle of proprietary modules in most Android kernels.

To partially answer GP's question:

Unofficial major kernel updates have happened in the past. OnePlus 6T, for example, shipped with 4.9.x, but supports mainline on pmOS.
I think GP meant more that people shouldn't use Postgres for small systems, over SQLite or something.

But if the cells keep getting smaller, at some point it will be cheaper to just bury that one fiber to beat out 12G plus the next 5 generations, rather than buy another cell to cover that one household.
No, I completely disagree. The guy from that anecdote, he's a vice president of one of the largest publishers in America. Nobody's gonna say no to him. And most designers I know are independents.

Do you know the restaurant industry term mis en place? It's this practice of laying out your tools at the beginning of your work shift, so you can grab the knife or the salt or the mixing bowl without even looking. Disrupting a chef's mis en place is an great way to get stabbed.

An even modestly talented graphic designer doesn't look at their keyboard or desktop at all while they're working, they exhibit fantastic amounts of muscle memory while navigating their various screens and palettes.

They also suffer from an unfortunate lack of neural plasticity. There is no room in their day or desire for picking up new techniques, they're way more interested in the ideas they're absorbed with.
Those are definitely some big guys in the picture there, but it is remarkable that that was the body type that would warrant joining a club and having newspaper articles written about you.
Actually I do think this is a good idea. For best latency there should be multiple LLMs involved, a fast one to generate the first few words and then GPT-4 or similar for the rest of the response. In the case that the fast model is unsure, it could absolutely generate filler words while it waits for the big model to return the actual answer. I guess that's pretty much how humans use filler words too!
This is an idea that goes back to Pythagoras and Plato.

Think of a triangle. Now draw that triangle on paper. If you look closely enough, you'll see "imperfections" in the triangle you just drew. Now ask yourself: "how do I know this thing I just drew is imperfect? Where did the idea of a perfect triangle come from?"

Plato would say the perfect triangle comes from the realm of "forms". This mystical place which is "more real" than "reality" because everything there is perfect and everything here is just a flawed approximation. Plato also said that this is the place where our souls go when we die, and we engage in "congress" with the forms and then return to earth, reincarnated. When we learn things, we aren't learning something new but actually recalling memories of the forms. This is why everyone knows what a perfect triangle is but no one has ever seen one in the physical world.
I have nothing to add, but the fact that we have a journal or whatever the hell is it that is called "The War Zone" as war is something like a football league, really sadden me, I mean we are fucking fucked up in the brain, how can we even think that something like that is acceptable, do we even stop and think about the meaning of words anymore? Do words have meaning in modern society?
You should check out projects like sigstore.dev, attestation, and in general "software supply chain security"

This is already possibly and being done by some, you of course need to trust the node, because that could swap out tool on you, but there are various ways to push the attestation further down the stack, into the hardware and CPU. You'll also want to think about how your dependencies fit into the trust model as well, lots of scary stuff can happen there (i.e. things like dependency confusion)

I'm particularly fond of Dagger, as they are doing a lot of the heavy lifting on this front, and their tool makes local -> CI a joy. You can run Dagger in any larger CI system, they focus on replacing your Dockerfiles and other build scripts as one of the next-gen solutions build on BuildKit

I'm assuming you're being sardonic, but remarkably it's still a great place to buy live cuttings of succulents and other plants from enthusiasts.

In contrast to buying seeds off Amazon or eBay, where the plants that sellers are claiming they're shipping you seeds for are often just random weeds rather than the hilariously photoshopped or non-existent flowers/fruits shown in the product listing.

Most aspects have seen good improvements, in particular range, flight time and the camera. The Mini 4 Pro also has the 360° sensors that previously only were on the larger drones.

The Mini (2019) was a big step up compared to the Spark (2017) with merely a 2-axis gimbal and the Mini 2 (2020) brought very welcome range and camera improvements. I don't have first hand experience with anything more recent but it looks like both the range and the camera keep improving in those. The flight time, top speed and wind resistance are also increasing.

So i'm not sure what in particular you feel hasn't improved significantly.
Seems to me that ham radio doesn't fit in that list.
DJI OcuSync is based on LTE: https://www.suasnews.com/2022/05/the-dji-p1-and-s1-fpv-chips... is an example of more information.

This is a major advantage DJI and other Chinese drone makers have over US based ones. Technically acquiring an SDR/DSP implemented LTE baseband is not a major difficulty. Getting Qualcomm to let you is quite a challenge.

Looking at FCC listings and product pages you can tell that DJI are also throwing power at the problem. The EIRP on DJI devices is very high. They go up to 33dBm (2W EIRP) on the most modern devices like the Mini 4 Pro.
I am also not a lawyer, but the worst problems a startup can have are not ones that break your startup immediately. They are ones that break your project or startup after years of work.
My best guess in 30 years will be the killing and eating animals. Not because everyone goes vegan, but because we will only eat lab grown meat, not meat plucked from an animal carcass.

Just like we see some people being cancelled now for being casually racist in the 90s(eg blackface at parties), I think we might see people be cancelled who make jokes in 2020 like "I like my hamburger rare so you can taste the soul of the cow" and stuff like that.
Yes they threw it all away when they could just have continued subsidising video games and losing millions every year
It’s a fantastic read, and with his sense of recall being so strong it provides a lot of detail you other might not get. He does say in the end he might have made it a bit more positive than some of the moments may have actually been, but I’ve not seen any of the other people from those times contradict what he’s said.

People also (rightly or not) feel they can influence the outcome when driving much more than they can on transit (note this doesn't really apply to planes because planes are mass transit that so obviously beat driving after a certain distance).

And they might be right, something like 30% of traffic fatalities involve alcohol, so you can avoid driving after drinking and avoid times when others are drink driving, and improve your odds.
