What is the price of devices for then? It's a sane expectation that when you buy a device with a preinstalled OS, you pay for both the hardware and the R&D costs for the OS.
I type in a 2FA code a few times a day and that's enough to justify it for me. Really hate typing in numbers without one
"I wish there were any expresscard-sized video cards available"

That would be fantastic - should be a standard capability of newer m.2 slots too.
I never said anything remotely related to that they were "just" fighting them. I just pointed out why some units were not charged, and why he may have expected the same. The fact of the matter was many _were_ fighting the Soviets, and the historical context here is vital. All of it, including the holocaust aspects of it.
In this case bartender isn't disabling features, Apple is. The "disturbing item" is a feature of the new OS.

I get feeling. But you should point fingers where deserved.
I've stood staring down that rabbit hole many times, but then I look at my wallet and turn back.
They were trying to manufacture bricks from PET, but the properties of that plastic compared to ABS made it too difficult. Doesn't sound like a specifically 'recycled plastic' issue as such.
Yeah indeed, it just barely survives. Few years ago they had to shed all non-essential development (such as Servo).
It's better in that you have no ads. But if anything it feels like a side step or backwards step in terms of usability.

There are three things driving me mad at the moment. One, despite having my audio muted I still get audible notifications for something, haven't figured it out. Two, volume control no longer works with my Jabra bluetooth earphones. Third, no amount of trying to convince Windows Explorer otherwise can I stop my downloads folder and it's sub-folders from going back to being grouped by date, which I hate.
It seems it will still be limited by its linguistic understanding of the surrounding context, at least in the first chicken sandwich picture.

Although its interpretation could make some sense but is also mostly wrong if talking about physical size of a modern GPU's main processor compared to the size of the associated VRAM chips. It has missed the joke entirely as far as I am aware. I think the joke is actual about Nvidia's handling of product segmentation, selling massive processors with less memory than is reasonable to pair them with on their consumer gaming offerings, while loading up the nearly identical chips with more memory for scientific and compute applications...
Actions do speak loudly - such as misrepresenting other people's statements so they sound worse than they are.

He didn't actually author the patch. He did get a reported by credit. If you look through the thread, he clearly got some mentorship from the maintainers because the first attempts weren't maintainable.
This service can already be reliably provided by humans.

Humans have well understood failure modes, and society has an existing framework for handling issues that arise between humans.

I wonder who will be held responsible when Be My Eyes AI tells someone to step into traffic? My guess is no one.

> They did get the credit, just not for the code, and rightly so.

They received credit for reporting the issue, which is a fraction of what they did. They provided the entire solution, full stop. The maintainer only restated it.
It's funny that their example is much harder to read
I don't think people (or the author for that matter) "forget" that, it's more of a statement about shutup10 needing to exist.

At which point did this Operating System become a Persistently-Shovel-Things-In-Your-Face System instead of being a tool to operate the system and thus disappears to let you efficiently go on with your work?
PyMilo: New Python Library for ML I/O
This patch is miniscule, and does not deserve 'Kernel contributor' status, which seems to be what the OP is after, and which I don't think is warranted for this sort of thing.
No worries your ide will help you for the parentheses.
Am I missing something? I've never read Ballard, but found this article to be pretty terrible. Is it meant to satirize or mimic Ballard's writing? The run on sentences, the [a and b, c and d, e and f] structure, the superfluous language all made this writing feel like a pretentious slog. I feel like I'm missing something.
I'm not from the USA myself, sadly. I suppose I was asking in a more web-friendly context, as in - what can I do as a web user that may have a positive impact on the situation in the future?

As I said, contributing software isn't something I can do, so what else? For example, I really like what Signal's Meredith Whittaker is doing with her voice, but she also has incredible reach, something most people (including myself) don't have.
I think it's just to make sure that you get a glass of water. If you order the water last, the waiter is somewhat likely to forget the water. The look-and-nod might be to make sure that they got it, but I understand that part less.
If you use CSS and HTML together, rationally, you don't have to name any more things than you already have in Tailwind. Naming everything in CSS is a self-inflicted problem that you can easily annihilate with modern though widely supported CSS features.
Exactly. And they will browse right down to the dirt without regular moisture for the grass. Maybe the Carolinas near the coast, but I figure that’s all occupied, or marsh.

Scottish and New Zealand weather are perfect for sheep.
>Another source of comfort is the fact that these fantastical figures are uncritically accepted by the Department of Education and, apparently, the IRS.

The article mentions IRS Form 990 several times. This is "Return of Organization Exempt From Income Tax", so the IRS would not necessarily care about the phantom accounting. Their primary concern is that the organization is truly non-profit and qualified to be exempt from tax.
Strictly speaking, Just because the app had excess helpers doesn't necessarily mean the visually impaired users wouldn't like assistance more often, just that they wouldn't bother others about it.

Almost all blind people usually wear a dark shade of glasses. So, instead of the phone doing the camera’s work, what about a tiny Google-Glass-esque snap-on to the Blind person’s glasses that feeds to the phone for processing?

A few companies are trying it. Last weekend, I tried one, and it was not yet polished, but good enough to start. It recognized me (my friend already has me on his phone contact).

I’m trying to help a friend with his non-profit initiative, bringing the cost to about a third or even a-fourth of Google Glass[1]. After reading the article and the other First Impressions with GPT-4V(ision)[2], it is apparent that this can be possible much simpler and soon enough. The rumor about Ive[3] and Sam[4] talking about AI in Hardware has already given me some good hope.

If anyone else does AI-enabled hardware assistance for blind people and has devices that will be less than $500 a piece in retail, I’d love to talk and introduce them to the right people.

Body flex is not an issue that I expected to see mentioned about an X series. I have not had an X series since the X60 but that thing had about as much flex as a brick.
I always wondered why the amount of college tuition you pay which becomes a wealth transfer to a subsidized student could be classified as a charitable donation, and therefore you'd be credited with a tax deduction.
Writing poems using Llama 2 on Workers AI
It sounds bad but if you're using the mouse a lot you should try splitting the board and placing the mouse between the halves. For shoulders it's the best typing and mousing position I can imagine. Although to be honest /didn't/ imagine it, someone whom I admire recommended it and even so it only took on the second attempt. And... it hasn't made me need a numpty yet.

Performance is definitely an issue here, this is on an M1 MacBook with Chrome and it's quite choppy.

Without seeing the entire back-and-forth, it's not exactly clear what happened (we only have a a single sentence from their correspondence). In any case, he can still claim credit from the Reported-By line, same as if he was in the CREDITS file. He can still put it in his resume.

Saying he was "robbed" is wrong; nobody said he was going to get his patch accepted, much less be given a specific amount of credit. If he had been promised something, and his work was taken without giving him what was promised, I could see that as being "robbed". But giving someone something in the hopes of something in return, that was never promised, and being mad when you don't get what you hoped for? That's sour grapes. It's like taking a girl out for dinner and saying you were "robbed" when you don't get any after.

The bug got fixed, which is a much bigger deal. Often maintainers don't accept your fixes at all, so you're still subject to the bug. Lesson learned: maintainers can be dicks, don't expect anything from them. (I report bugs and user experience issues all the time, and I mostly get either ignored or told that it was expected in some way, so they don't have to accept any responsibility or fix the problem)
Strictly in my opinion, the M1 mba is perhaps a tie or even slightly edges out the x2_0 series. Solidly built (would I use it as a melee weapon? no, that's what actual melee weapons -- like model m keyboards -- are for), fast, quiet, great screen, insane battery life, usable unix under the hood. I'll grant that the older IBM keyboards were top notch, but the M1's is good enough and having a modern screen to read code on is worth the trade (at least for me, I spend way more time reading and thinking when writing code than physically banging away on the keyboard). I feel kind of weird gushing about hardware to be honest, but it's just that good a machine and I guess that's in keeping with the author's love of the x220? :)

If I didn't have an m1 air though, an x200-series thinkpad running linux of some form probably would be my go-to! I still eye minifree.org from time to time when the temptation for a dedicated portable linux machine has me in its grip.
You’re 76 years late to this party :-)

It's not so clear cut. At least admit that a lot of thought has been given to this, none the least by Foucalt's famous essay on this topic, Discipline and Punish.

Foucalt has his critics, but it's not immediately obvious that the massive incarceration problem in some Western nations is better than public execution at the whim of monarchs. And some forms of torture, Foucalt argued, have changed from the theatrical and public to the more subdued torture of everyday lives of prison inmates.

"Alexa turn off all lights"
I owned one of these, and decided to omit it from the list (it came before my first Cherry board).

It was a really good board. But I remember it having quite a lot of flex in the plastic. My letters wore off pretty quickly and frustratingly the solar cells eventually died and the thing stopped charging all together.
Then don't use Whatsapp if that's the case? I notice so many people complaining about so many things but they refuse to boycott them.

I find it bizarre to say "Arisu layout" and "ergonomic" in the same sentence.

The layout looks cool.

The only two ergonomic things about it are that the letters are slightly split apart, and slightly at an angle. (The thumb gets to press more keys than on a standard keyboard, but not as many as on better keyboards).

The layouts tend to have weird features, stuff like: the digit for 6 is placed on the left-hand side; or that it's got pinky-finger modifiers, but not 3 on each side. Many layouts also drop the function row (indicating users are expected to use layers), but retain a nav cluster. - The layout of the alphabetical keys is also weirdly asymmetric.
I think it’s because of supply and demand in addition to value. A manual laborer, even a very skilled one, is limited by their own output on how much value they can create. A software engineer creates outputs that can generate many multiples of their compensation for doing so.
It’s super common for people to be excellent at certain things that require reason but also hold views that are significantly less rational in other domains.

I know incredibly smart people (engineers and other fields) who are e.g. creationists, believe we did not land on the Moon, antivaxxers, believers in alien/UFO conspiracies, and believers in what I consider very crank and awful politics of both “left” authoritarian Marxist/“tankie” and “right” fascist or NRx varieties, etc. (The latter includes one person who horseshoed from Communism to Bannonite fascism.)

Then there are loads of famous names with the same domain specific rationality I could list. Shockley, Pauling, Musk, Jack Parsons, Henry Ford, …

People are often inconsistent in their rationality or make exceptions for things they (whether they realize it or not) believe for emotional reasons. People get triggered, get into beliefs for social belonging reasons, or even get recruited into cults. Being great at something doesn’t make one immune to being “got.”

Consistent application of reason may be the rare thing. It’s hard and requires examining emotions as well as thoughts. Also requires the ability to say “I don’t know” rather than be a know it all or hallucinate as we say in AI now. Nobody is an expert in every field, but the ego sure wants to be.

People want these comic book superheroes that are always rational, always compassionate, and never fall down crazy rabbit holes or get emotionally triggered into adopting ridiculous viewpoints. Hence the saying "never meet your heroes."
great find. i’ve got some adjustments in mind, mainly carefully placed locks. i’d like to give you credit for the call out in the docs/acknowledgment file. is there some better way to reference you than jabradoodle?

From the page:

Eh, I can't agree. I'm sure there is useful signal in there, but the author has a highly idiosyncratic view of the language, recommends tons of "optimizations" based on benchmarks that often aren't sound, and has several bits of code that are simply incorrect.

As one example, the IsClosed function in https://go101.org/article/channel-closing.html is definitely not correct. The author doesn't seem to be aware of the comma-ok form of a channel receive as documented in https://go101.org/article/channel-closing.html -- which would be the correct way.

Many others. Reader beware.

I'd like to see some representation of rainfall on the top level map to help discover interesting areas to drill into more detail.

The pop up to choose between seasonal/extreme feels unnecessary when I can select the corresponding tab on the subequent page.
I'm not sure that anything like this would ever be suitable for a daily driver due to a lack of graphics drivers and the like. It would be amazing if there was an OS agnostic driver layer, or if we could somehow reuse the driver stack from Linux or Windows. As far as I'm aware nothing like that actually exists though.
This is now fixed. We have moved the images through to our website. Thank you for the report!
Show me the 19th century sources saying otherwise. If it is the correct opinion then it shouldn't be hard. You cannot just say that everyone who disagrees with you misunderstands the 2A. If your opinion is correct then surely someone wrote about it prior to the 20th century. The thread I linked has many many more quotes I highly recommend you look at.

This is why the Bruen opinion is so great. It uses the historical understanding approach. Which should be applied to the 1A as well.

Without the work of the author this bug would still not be fixed. So credit for that work (which seemed quite involved) would be fair and natural, no?

I am surprised and a bit sad at so many comments questioning the author
The best keyboard I ever had was Velocifire VM02WS. It has mechanical brown switches, and it worked flawlessly for more than 5 years. Then the left control key broke down.

The rest of the keyboards I have used, no matter mechanical or not, failed after 1-2 years of use. Typically, it was the left control key.

Currently I’m using some gamer-targeted keyboard with ridiculous blue LEDs which had “more than 15 million cycles” label on the box. So far so good, but I liked the mechanical ones better.
Knowing the EU, further privacy policies are probably going to be announced at some point, greatly crippling the current form of targeted advertising, including on Android.
Because you actually just want to improve it?
Yeah, the RME Digiface USB seems like it'd fit the bill, and then just do optical from one computer to this device.
However, it's rather expensive for my case where I basically just want to pipe audio from one computer into another without having to lose quality.

If anything, such a device should be cheaper than even the cheapest USB ADC, since it doesn't even have to do any analog stuff, just carry bits between the input of one usb class device and the output of another, I'm going to build this, because it annoys the heck out of me that such a simple device don't exist.

I'm way too principled, which is how I ended up with a USB AES/EBU output device to stay digital right until the speakers does their thing :\ (which is also partly why I'm extra annoyed at having the second computers output going through that extra unneeded DAC/ADC conversion for no damn good reason!) ;)
Why wouldn't `.button.is-success` be enough? And aren't you already using `success` somewhere else in your component? In JS, maybe?
I find their software to be as hard to use as any new OS paradigm. Their design differs from their competition, but I don't think it's superior or inferior necessarily.

Repairability and open source software isn't what the lay person cares about, at least not until they break their phones.

Apple's fix to failing software is the same as what any computer service will do for a random customer: reinstall the entire OS, see if that helped, restore the backup you definitely didn't forget to make. Someone deeply knowledgeable can often use tricks to get a broken system to run like normal again, but that's not easy or time efficient to offer as a service.

Apple removed the worst UI to intuit (3D Touch, or "you didn't press the unmarked location hard enough"). After that, I think their software isn't any better or worse than their competition's in terms of usability, unless you have a visual disability; iOS is still king when it comes to the quality of built in accessibility features for those who can't/struggle to see a screen.

VAT is a variant on sales tax, which is a consumption tax. And VAT is paid when buying things.
Nice to see the Noppoo Choc Mini! I had the same keyboard, got me through 5 years of starcraft 2 and another 5 years of brood war remastered. Had to retire it when I stopped playing starcraft and now use a kinesis advantage360 pro when working/programming.

If you haven't used a split keyboard, I highly recommend it! It feels way more natural typing and less stressful on your wrists. I still use a kinesis freestyle 2 on my desktop pc, good enough for most games too. It feels alien at first but you quickly adapt. It's also not hard to go back and forth between the different types of keyboards.
It is about choice, ...

Thanks for being a volunteer. But please dont judge blind users if you apparently can not put yourself in ther shoes...

Yes, one reason is that some blind users dont want to waste volunteer time. Another reason is that volunteers are different, but the performance of the image AI is predictable. Another reason is that the AI OCR is fast, can also translate, and, surprise, the text is easier to handle later, for copy&paste.

Besides, the performance of the AI describing pictures is, sorry to say, a little bit above what the typical human is willing or capable of doing. IOW, some humans performs worse then the AI. Also, camera access is different from picture taking. I use volunteers when I need more interactive help, but I totally prefer the AI when I just need a single pic.
Since the page says

> Be My AI is perfect for all those circumstances when you want a quick solution or you don’t feel like talking to another person to get visual assistance.

It presumably will be getting used in low risk situations.
You think states don't benefit from spending more money? They're just like other organizations who try to expand their budgets year over year.

Except they can force people to pay them more, all they need is plausible justification (like combating crime, or terrorists, or drugs, or viruses, or whatever the current societal scare happens to be about).
People that have bought into the "iPhones let you join a super special secret club with superior products" rhetoric.

Only good things can come from this, if people want a vanilla Apple experience then just don't install alternatives to Apple's stuff, pretty simple. All they're worried about is their special locked down "what's a computer?" being "ruined".
