Well currently you can't get at the AST, only (with some hairy code) bytecode. (The use cases are post-compilation)

But suppose this work did enable that. What Paul is saying is that there are intermediate representations between bytecode and AST that are more helpful for these GPU / SQL / whatever runtime compilers. Representations that capture dataflows, for example. Chance are these compilers would transform an AST to something like this anyway.

See https://mlir.llvm.org/ which is referenced in that talk.
I had never heard of "cumulative Bayesian skyline plots". A search on Google gave one hit, which was a dissertation quoting this study.

I assume they mean "coalescent Bayesian skyline plots".

Why invent a new name for something which already has a more informative name?

I have great difficulty imagining a culture which could socially sustain an N_e of 1:17 (male to female). Just do a few sample calculations. The priviledged males would be massacred.

A few things could explain it: (1) large scale male infanticide or male child castration (2) A disease which kills mainly male children.

Both of these alternatives suffer from one of the same problems as their proposal: How would the cause (whatever it was) spread so relatively quickly among distantly seperated populations ?

I think it far more likely they have made mistakes somewhere.

The EU probably has the strongest consumer protection laws. And they do enforce them. Which is the subject of the linked story.
How many tabs do you have open at the same time? I was at a few hundreds (with an auto-unload add on as well). I often get there while doing research on a new subject - open everything relevant as a tab, and slowly go through them.

Except it has been for decades. In traditional retail, the split is 60% store, 40% seller. So your same $200 product would be $80 to the seller, not $88. And manufacturers have been operating with that split for a long time.
You can install *BSDs with only the things you want. Same like you can on Linux. However, the question of default packaging holds on both sides.

Trying installing the default .iso of Fedora workstation or Ubuntu-latest and see all the things Gnome brings along.. Maps, Photos, IM client, even a bundled browser (Evolution or something) that is based on Firefox but dependednt on the few Gnome packagers to keep up to date(instead of just letting the user download Firefox on their own or shipping the latest firefox).

Even Archlinux, if you install Gnome-desktop, you get all the cruft. You need to explicitly find a way to install just the minimal gnome desktop without all its apps.

OpenBSD however, for a server usecase, comes with a very cohesive, sane set of tools carefully maintained by the folks who ship OpenBSD. If anything, they are very conservative about adding stuff to that ecosystem.
Yes. And it seems that in Japan, the customers of the small company only had to pay X, but still could subtract Y from their own VAT payments!

So the price of the small business was effectively X - Y.

Which is what I would call a subsidy.

And a bad subsidy, because it suddenly cuts off at a certain value, discouraging organic growth.

I have used AI to produce an audio version and translations of my short story. I am not impressed. The best tools generate audio that is of high quality but missed a lot of the nuance of the written text, sometimes distort simple words. When it comes to translation, 80-90% of the sentences had to be fixed for grammar, spelling or other reasons (modifications to the meaning of the sentence, bad handling of gender in gendered languages. I came to the conclusion that writers, editors, proofreaders, and translators have nothing to fear from AI. I also noticed that AI is programmed to avoid getting its creators into legal/PR trouble. For example, if you ask AI to perform certain editing jobs on a piece of content that may be somehow connected to a political or a religious issue it will refuse to do so. Not much help if you want to produce a piece of writing that may be a commentary on such issues, be it an article or a screenplay.
What about the SAG-AFTRA? Have they reached any agreement regarding AI?

When AI became plausible and produced full body deepfakes, I concluded that it was only a matter of time to use AI to extend and emulate real actors.

The sensible agreement should have been that an actor, via an agency, or a software stack, will control their full body AI avatar. And they will license them to studios for a movie or a commercial ad. They will charge maybe 20%-90% of the fees that they receive.

BUT, it blew my mind that studios were audacious enough to float the idea or propose that actors will be paid a small hourly wage or minimum wage for small actors for scanning their bodies, and after that the studios get to keep and use the digital avatar for perpetuity for free.

Whoa!

I was shocked to learned that. There was, as expected, dispute.

What happened to that part?
"Because 50% of the writing was AI the residual has been halved"
Being opposed to technology is something I don't understand.
I'm a software engineer; and if some day AI can fully replace me, that is a "me" problem. I should be able to bring value, I should be able to adapt.
When horses where THE way of transportation, there were hundreds of jobs, and thousands of workers supporting the horse industry. creating stables, blacksmiths, vets, etc. but in a matter of couple of decades, the horses were replaced by cars. now Imagine if those people started wrecking cars and car factories. over time, if someone is fully unable to adapt to progress and wants to keep going his way, he will be eliminated by the survival of the fittest. and those who were able to adapt, found other jobs that they could bring value in. For example many of the blacksmiths became mechanics.

If an artist can lose his job to AI, it means he was never anything more than a weaker version of AI. you can't be angry because someone does your job better than you and for cheaper.

Should we regulate and control the advancements, so something like the atomic bombs, like hiroshima doesn't happen with AI? Absolutely yes.
Should we have our guards up and say AI is bad, it will be end of us, etc.? No. opposing progress is something that humans have always loved to do.
Policy impediments to use are real! Your data gap-filler approach is interesting though.

Along this line… occasionally there is official but obviously-wrong data from even WMO accredited providers whose automatic weather stations ('AWS') are busted. Perhaps your approach would help provide a widely validated bound-check? The trouble is often that kind of undetected, obviously-wrong data, is also a symptom of 'we have no money to fix it'…
That actually happened to me, not with the police though, but with social workers. I explained the situation in a very calm, concise, and perhaps emotionally detached manner because this is just my personality. They wrote in their report that they found it strange that "I almost did not cry during the interview", which they said was the main reason they would recommend to put David in foster care. The guilt of knowing that I, with my personality, was responsible for losing his care, was devastating.

I also found this argument absurd: I was suspected of losing my temper on my child, and it's my calmness that was interpreted as a sign of danger!

It reminds me the Robert Roberson Texas death penalty case that John Grisham recently wrote about [1]: "He told hospital staff that she had fallen out of bed, but they didn’t believe him. They didn’t know he was autistic and decided he didn’t show the proper emotions given the dire situation."

Watch out for for the Mac SMB client. I found a bug in several MacOS versions which causes the SMB client to send an incorrect file handle in some file requests, causing random files to be deleted which are unrelated to the files you're operating on: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37345855

If you've ever had a suspicion about files on an SMB share going missing, occasionally, when there's been a Mac client using the share, this does indeed happen.
Right, and then have local services interacting with no cloud support, or phone integration.

But this is absolutely not "consumer" by any means. If my grandmother can't do it, you failed the simplicity test. This is exactly why we end up with cloud services for everything. Because real-world integration with the entire fleet of possibilities for consumer interaction is by definition an open-ended problem that can never be finished.

Yeah, that's a long-running and pretty much unfixable issue as macOS updates overwrite /etc/zshrc. AFAIK, the determinate systems installer does somewhat resolve this as you can just run it again and it will fix the issue.

The default installer is not idempotent yet (and my work on trying to resolve that has stalled, unfortunately, see https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/7603), so trying to run it again to fix this issue will result in errors.

I wouldn’t describe myself as a photographer so take with a grain of salt. A combination of iCloud and self hosted PhotoPrism [1] is perfect for me. My phone automatically backs up everything to both locations so I’m not worried about loosing anything and both do a good job of organizing by date/location/event. I can happily take photos without worrying that I’ll need to sift through them all at a later date. When I happen to use a camera that isn’t my phone (Mavic Mini being the most frequent), I can add the photos to both locations from my laptop. Apple does a great job of packaging and presenting ‘memories’ at a later date.

Then for your sake I hope they don't find out about those apps. It is their device, after all. They don't like it when you do things they didn't approve of. Their methods grow ever more sophisticated. Hardware cryptography is only the latest innovation.

Here in Sweden I had to watch a video warning against baby shaking when my wife was pregnant with my first child. After seeing this horrible video, I waited a few hours to tell my wife that this entire thing was total bunk, and we've known it's been bunk for many years.

Here in Sweden this child abduction idiocy is upheld by three doctors who all refer to each other as the experts proving baby shaking is real. It's a disgrace.

Except that it is certainly up to everything you consume to demand that you install their app through their shitty third party store.

Imagine if your appliance manufacturer could dictate that you kept your door open for them.
> And why would you test if you're having no symptoms?

It's useful in cases where you know you've been recently exposed to the virus. You can test yourself and avoid becoming an asymptomatic spreader.

If you, feeling fine, test positive for the virus then you know to stay away from everybody. You may be able to get a PCR to confirm at that point, but even if you can't, you can be confident (especially if multiple at home tests come back positive) that you're infected and act accordingly. You can contact your doctor, you can watch yourself closely for developing symptoms, you can isolate.

If you test negative after repeated tests in that situation, it's still not super comforting because false negatives are so high, but if you can't get a proper test due to your lack of symptoms the at home tests are the best indication that you've dogged a bullet that you're going to get. Maybe be careful to mask up when you go out just to be safe, but at that point you can be somewhat sure (as sure you can be) that you aren't going to get everyone around you infected.

That's pretty far from ideal. Ideally, anyone could just get a free PCR test, but it's way better than nothing and nowhere near useless.

I agree through, if you have symptoms it's best to assume the worst even if the home test is negative and see a doctor for a PCR in case it is covid or for a diagnosis and treatment in the event that it isn't.

UNIX was already winning the server room and workstation market before Apple, that is why they came up with A/UX in first place.

The Hollywood studios that now use Apple, would be using SGI previously.

On iDevices, UNIX APIs aren't even that relevant for app development, even basic stuff like networking has been superceeded by Objective-C specific APIs.

So no, I don't see anything UNIX related where Apple has helped to caught on.

Moving beyond UNIX, now that is a thing NeXT and Apple have done a lot.
> so you might as well allocate everything up front into a giant arena, and then divide the giant arena up into smaller arenas

However if you do this note how the article hints at this strategy needing a bit more code on Windows: Windows doesn't do overcommit by default. If you do one big malloc Windows will grow the page file to ensure it can page that much memory in if you start writing to it. That's fine if you allocate a couple megabytes, but if your area is gigabytes in size you want to call VirtualAlloc with MEM_RESERVE to get a big contiguous memory area, then call VirtualAlloc with MEM_COMMIT as needed on chunks you actually want to use.
> This idea that AI was just going to replace writers never really made much sense

I disagree. Despite the first taste of the technology cannot completely replace humans, it will get there in an imho relatively short time from now.
All of these can be predicted, more or less, over expected product lifetime and added to initial product price. Nothing stops from manufacturer to say "10 years of security updates" on a box, and then you're on your own.
But opening up the sandbox makes everyones phones more unsafe.
Apple a) has a mutual interest in them remaining privacy centric as we do. B) most of your data is locked onto the device and cannot be accessed by anyone including apple themselves.
There's another factor in this, which makes it hard to change:

For the people in child welfare organizations, for social workers, for doctors, for police, for judges to change their mind about current and future decisions requires them to change their mind about past decisions. The necessary implication is that many of the people they have persecuted in the past were, in fact, innocent. It requires them to admit that they personally have likely caused untold suffering to parents, caretakers, and children.

This is hard for anyone; but if you've lived your life trying to be the hero, feeling good about swooping in and rescuing children from the clutches of evil villains, how can you face the fact that you are the evil villain in so many children's stories?

You might call this the Paradox of Judgment: If you don't say that something is that bad, then lots of people don't think it's a big deal and don't do anything about it. But if you do say that something is really bad, then there develop all these pathologies of denialism around it.
Google specifically said what benefits you get with each pixel: unlimited original with first p, from 2 to 3 or 4, unlimited original for 3 years and unlimited compressed after, for p5 just unlimited compressed. Google didn't broke any of these claims
Um, you're making the wrong comparison. Apple can just offer a "locked" version of iPhone if you want that. You could buy a unlocked one for you, and a locked one for $whoever. iOS vs Android should not a safe vs unsafe argument, it should be a Gillette razor vs Philips razor argument.

Also, I don't think the only merit that iPhone brings is this so-called safety, it is also a very well engineered device. I'd like to buy one but the only thing that has held me back is how closed the ecosystem is. If the EU is able to force Apple to fix that, I might finally buy an iPhone for the first time :)

Google Photos works well for me. There is unlimited storage (with compressed, but perfectly usable format).

I archive the originals to backups and can happily delete them from my phone. I have scanned all my old pictures, given them backdated exif dates (a bit fiddly), and, again, archived them and uploaded to Google Photos. I can scroll all the way back into the 1970s!
Organized crime during prohibition was there because there was demand and someone willing to risk it for money. Demand for cheaper (stolen) goods was always there and the risk was significantly lowered so a lot of thieves took that opportunity to make some money.

Whether someone chooses the path of crime out of desperation depends on one's culture.

If the crime organization has an hierarchy then it might be easier to take out the leaders.
iPhone can automatically classify your pictures to different group. google can mark your pictures with date and GPS, sometimes this is enough
I've been made to watch a similar video here in The Netherlands. It's not bunk though. Violently shaking a baby will lead to trauma which can cause death. What this book is about is that there are other causes that can lead to the same symptoms. The video is right. Shaking a baby leads to AHT. But the reverse isn't. AHT does not mean that the baby has been shaken. There are many other causes for AHT.

Tomorrow Apple might decide it is safe to chroot with SIP enabled (I actually do not understand why they restrict it, chroot is a tool to increase security). Does that suddenly convert bad design into a good design? But this is exactly the same design.
