Sort of? Except being implemented on top of IP, like TCP and UDP are, it's implemented on top of UDP, mainly so that existing middleboxes don't have to be updated. Either a TCP replacement or a major version update to TCP would be the Right Thing, but we can't have good things.
Fashionable glasses would be just fine. It’s still in science fiction territory compared to the current state of the art.
On the flip side, one of the reasons I'm loyal to nvidia is a combination of two things.

1. They supported linux when no one else did,
2. I've never experienced instability from their drivers, and as I mentioned before, I've been running their cards under linux since the TNT2 days.
Sounds like it only uses human power as energy source? Storing some on flat areas / downhill / braking, and using that for accelerating & uphill.

Doubtful I'd want the added complexity + weight for that. This is what gears were invented for. Go slow(er) uphill, waste some energy on the way down.

True, smoothing out repeated uphill / downhill & start / stops is nice. But then efficiency comes looking. Is that high enough overall to make it worthwhile? (not to mention cost or reliability).

Now if supercapacitors would replace battery on regular ebike, that would be interesting.
To be sure if we want an example with someone making $80k after tax, we should really not be looking at houses above $400k. Yes, home prices are nuts, as I observed, but no one should be spending 5x gross income and 6.25x net income on housing.

In my own life, I spent about 2.5x gross income for both of my home purchases. And they were arguably more home than I needed. When I bought my first house, I was single, and I rented out the two other bedrooms. My spouse and I bought a house together, but ultimately could not have children, so the house is too big. (We also live on an acre and have a lot to maintain.) Now I know these Philly suburbs are nothing compared to California real estate, but it's still a medium to high cost of living area compared to the rest of the country, where we're minutes away from any kind of shopping or entertainment we'd want, and 45 minutes from the large international airport.

For sure the rising housing costs make it even harder for households making less than the median. I never argued otherwise. My point was about that which started this thread, that there is "no option" but to work for a big, awful tech company. I disagree, and elevated housing costs don't change that.
Congratulations, you invented modular [POTS] PBX and network switches.
float4 is nice, but in video games, especially graphics, the vast majority of our floats are 32 bits but we also use 16 bits floats quite extensively, and in this case it is quite practical to follow the same convention. f32 -> f16 f32x4 -> f16x4

And when working on some heavily optimized SIMD code on the CPU side, I tend to use the default types even less.
Whats the keyboard you have?
This is good, but unless you're a minimal team of one or two (or even if you are), sometimes the best thing is to get a bunch of tweaks (say 5-10) done in a week or two, because it makes users feel like you care, and they might add up to a considerable improvement in satisfaction/delight although individually each is insignificant. In other words: polish can't wait forever.

What speed can you get over ssh to that board? The big issue I had with the Raspberry Pi 4 when using it as a low-powered server is when I run my backups to it over ssh, the network transfers top out at about 20 MB/s (just raw transfer speed going to /dev/null) vs. around 100MB/s I get on a regular x86 board.
A sense of presence combined with positional audio should unlock some use cases. Hang out with your favorite podcaster, movies with friends, courtside at the basketball game or MMA fight.

The entire point of the comic IMO is that safety is inherently an ideological/cultural construct that will vary greatly across populations, in the same way that even something as seemingly unambiguous as sexual imagery can be interpreted through multiple lenses, depending on your kink.
I know this is more of an information security oriented tool, but Burp Suite by Portswigger is an amazing HTTP proxy. Over the years, as an information security consultant, I have used it quite a bit when writing my own little web apps to diagnose and debug any issues. It isn't a proper software testing tool in the DevOps sense, but if you are manually debugging and poking at a larger API there isn't a better tool out there IMO.
Another way to illustrate the base rate fallacy is to get rid of any randomness for a moment and imagine a perfectly regular and deterministic toy universe:

For the disease test, suppose every patient has a unique ID, starting at #0 and counting up consecutively.

Because it's a toy universe, we can say that the actually infected patients are exactly the ones with IDs #0, #10000, #20000 etc.

The test will come back positive if either the patient is infected (i.e. false-negative rate is 0, P(positive|infected) is 1.0) or if the ID is one of #1, #1001, #2001, #3001, etc.

This results in a base rate of 1/10000 and a false positive rate of (almost) 1/1000.

If you now look at all the IDs for which the test will be positive, those will be: #0, #1, #1001, #2001, ..., #9001, #10000, #10001, #11001, #12001, ..., #20000, #20001, #21001, etc etc.

It's easy to see that for each true positive (IDs that end with 0), there are 10 false positives (IDs that end with 1) - so the probability that some specific ID from that list is a true positive P(infected|positive) is 1/10 = 0.1, i.e. it's more likely the patient is not infected than that they are. (It's still more likely that they are infected than it would be for a random pick from the general population: 1/10 vs 1/10000)

Now consider a second population with a higher base rate: Now the infected patients are #0, #50, #100, #150 etc, i.e. the base rate is 1/50.

If you look at the IDs with positive tests again, you get #0, #1, #50, #100, #150, ..., #1000, #1001, #1050, ..., #2000, #2001 etc etc.

Now there are 50 true positives for each false positive, i.e. P(infected|positive) is something like 50/51 =~ 0.98.

So the test suddenly got much more "reliable", even though the false-positive rate didn't change, only through a change in base rate.
Don't shoot the messenger. If anything, inflation and shrinkflation's effects on the average American are, in my opinion, understated; and Thomas Jefferson (if you've ever read his comments about inflation) would've been calling for hangings.

Also, worth remembering, the median American income is $40,480 /yr., while median household is $74,580 /yr. Half of Americans make less than that per year. 20th percentile income, by median, says that 1/5th of American households make less than $28,000/yr (no law of averages with high earners skewing the result here). One glance at the housing market, or inflation, and I think they have every right to feel angry.

Edit: Or is it 80th percentile?
What I saw from Apple's announcement a few months ago actually impressed me. It's clever in how it allows repurposing of their existing 2D content (applications, movies, etc), some 3D content (games, 3D movies), and probably an initially very limited number of dedicated AR/VR experiences.

Content is king here and whoever launches hardware faces the empty room problem of having a lot of potential but no content to realize it. The Apple vision pro makes for a really great way to enjoy 2D content. So, it's immediately useful that way just as a really premium way to enjoy that content. Using it to just interface with your normal desktop apps also seems highly useful. It's cheaper than getting Apple's really expensive screen and offers more screen real estate.

None of that really requires new content. Then there's a huge back catalog of 3D movies, which have been coming out in cinemas for nearly 2 decades now that as of yet have struggled to reach home audiences. The deal with Disney seems like it is a smart move here. Disney has no other way to sell their 3D content right now. 3D television failed and it seems most streaming services aren't interested so far. And finally, there is of course a lot of game and VR content out there that can be adapted. Apple's new game porting kit is a strong hint that they are interested in tapping into that.

All of that before developing new content specifically for this device. That's a smart move and it stretches the use of this device beyond just gamers. My guess is that if they can scale production, it will sell really well. And then the dedicated content will ramp up over the next years.

Others may copy what they do technically but getting a content strategy together is much harder. Meta and Valve have bits and pieces of it. Same for Sony. But is it enough? I think they need to up their content game. Apple has that nailed it seems.

Which is perhaps why it really only has a (consumer) foothold in gaming; it's not offering a solution to a real problem, it's selling an entertainment experience.

I’m skeptical of meta as anyone but seeing the “video” call between Lex and Mark (Lex Friedman podcast on YouTube) with the photorealistic scanned 3D avatars looks really interesting. I only get to see my family about once a year and the zoom calls are hardly an antidote for much
On the topic of finding Bayes' theorem intuitively, I can never remember it on its own, but starting from the joint probability P(A,B) for any arbitrary A and B always helps me:

// A and B are arbitrary.
P(A,B) = P(B,A)

// These two make sense if I sound them out in words.
P(A,B) = P(A) P(B|A)
P(B,A) = P(B) P(A|B)

// Combine to give Bayes' theorem.
P(A) P(B|A) = P(B) P(A|B)
Just remember, corruption happens outside the memory too.

>> How do you deal with nonconsensual generation of images of real people in sexual acts, including children?

You're making a false equivalence. "AI" image generation is so much easier to do and requires so much less skill than Photoshopping something that you're really dealing with an entirely different problem.

> But it is possible with artificial intelligence. Once consciousness has been digitized, you can beam it at the speed of light to a receiver.

That may not remain true. The ability to serialize consciousness does not come for free, it requires extra wiring to carry all information out of the system or to stream it in, which is an intrinsic inefficiency. All other things kept equal, a brain's performance ceiling is higher if you only locally connect the units/neurons that need to be connected and nothing else, but in doing so you give up digitizability. It is entirely possible that future AI, in order to be performant enough, will lose the ability to be transmitted in the way that you describe.
> Therefore, the Prosecutors Fallacy is a subtle error that requires careful thought to understand, which makes teaching it all the more challenging. Visual explanations may be helpful.

Indeed. I've read and re-read the article. I don't see a clear explanation of the fallacy that fits into one sentence.

My myopa gets worse each year looking at a close screen. Could I avoid this by coding with a VR device ? Since its focal point is farther from the one required for a typical computer screen. If it can, I'd seriously consider working with it as much as possible.
Your comment is ambiguous, but if you’re implying that Apple does this then it’s incorrect. They just have “unified memory” (i.e. the high bandwidth SoC substrate memory).
I'm sorry, the original post was about the 7640U, which is indeed on 4nm.

The 7950X, though, is on 5nm.
So you can connect on demand? My server is mostly idle too as it only serves me.

> Seems all these shops starting out with MongoDB or the like always need to do a huge complicated migration

First thing to note, I couldn't find any reasoning for the change in the original post. This makes the speculating on it rather pointless, but clearly you are able to fill in the details quite easily somehow.

As a counter point. Last four businesses I've worked at all ran on MongoDB. More happenstance than something I've looked for.

They are all relatively small businesses and all ran fine, the biggest was ingesting 1-10GB/day of new data from their IOT fleet.

So this perspective that everything mongo is fundamentally broken and plain bad is pretty foreign to my real world experience.

These shops all liked what they were doing and there was zero talk of scaling issues or changing out the database.
I've met people that think it can replace the Desktop, and I don't think so.

I drink coffee at my desk, and I suspect the headset will get in the way of drinking from the cup...

I also tried using the Hololens a couple of years back at my desk for longer periods of time, and there were loads of issues; Lower resolution than screens, narrow field-of-view (FOV), extra weight on head, unable to scratch my nose... And the headset getting in the way of the coffee cup.

It just wasn't a good experience.

Even if Apple has solved resolution and FOV, I doubt it can be comfortable enough to work with for 8 hours/day. It's 500 grams (probably) extra weight on your head, a lot of unnatural light, and weird seclusion from colleagues.

It is also not a good form factor for traveling, because unlike a laptop which is slim and flat, these headset are actually quite bulky and take up a lot of space in your bag. It would take up a good portion of space in your carry-on bag on a flight.

Video streaming services need to take Gabe Newell's words to heart. Steam still heavily beats pirating games, and so I pay up for games, and I feel that my money is spent well. Though, my only complaint is that I don't actually own those games. If Steam's services disappear, my games do too. I guess that's a price I'm willing to pay, since I literally do.

Movies and TV shows though? People paid for streaming services because, like you said, it was so convenient. Now every company needs their own streaming service, and every good show is on a platform you don't subscribe to yet. I just stick with pirating these days, and I feel no shame in it. Fix your business model, or I'll still use it for free. Simple as.
Interestingly, Presonus are now making Studio One available on Linux, and they are "wayland native". They came up with an "interesting" solution for plugins: they just create a rendering surface and have the plugins draw on that. How this deals with event handling is unclear at this time.
100% agree.

Another way to look at it:

if you deliver a couple of quick tweaks that the users want in the next week, that can buy you some time to do more behind the scenes refactoring/tech debt cleanup.
And hilariously useless even if you wave away the costs and catastrophic dangers. Yes, you can have a floor of normal matter and a ceiling of antimatter and produce... like... maybe 0.00001 m/s^2 of gravity?

I think there are many examples where no question-begging premises are involved. For example, in the somewhat canonical example of incorrectly inferring the presence of a disease from a test when the base rate is low [1], the premises are the positive test result, the false-positive and false-negative rates for the test, and whatever premises about statistical reasoning lead to the calculation of the incorrect probability.

Another very relevant AI comic.

This argument has gone back and forth over many posts.

True, but if I know devs and management's "last minute and underplanned" culture IDEs can be ignored.
I dunno, I haven't seen much evidence that 3nm is as big a leap as hoped/claimed, the A17 pro is certainly impressive but in most cases it is not more efficient for its power gains.
This is the case for "auction" based ad platform, I don't see how there is anyway to ever police this especially when they run the auction and have full view of all bids, essentially letting them perfectly price discriminate. Where are customers gonna go? Bing?

Ludicrous barely begins to describe the idea. It would have to be a mass on the order of magnitude of a moon that you would have to a) create and b) carry with you so that you would feel some gravity. Why not just build a rotating ring instead? No one in scifi was even entertaining this idea afaik.
You could alias egrep="grep -E" to avoid changing existing scripts. Sure, it's not ideal but it might tide you over in the meantime.

That's a really interesting project !

One pet peeve, though. Some entries have "Arbitration Award" listed as an action. However, these usually mean that the physician won an arbitration case (i.e. the ruling was in their favour). Listing them without any differentiation can potentially negatively bias a person's opinion against a perfectly honest doctor.
I hope that you're right, but there are folks that might argue about the definition of "succeeding."

I wish it was still the same now. I updated to the latest Win11 feature drop thing, hit Windows + E to open File Explorer, and heard "File Explorer. Home, pane." And that's it. Luckily I know how to change the folder that File Explorer starts in to something useful. But a new computer user? They'll be confused and not know if they broke something, or if they're doing something wrong, or how to get to their files. But at least with Windows, I can quickly and easily browse the web and do just about anything I need to. Of course, I cheat and pull out Emacs with Emacspeak on WSL, and I'm like the only blind person that does this on Windows so I would never, ever expect other blind people to reach anywhere near WSL for anything.

Certainly this will ripple through to the customer? The goal of such a border tax for these is to make products within EU competitive again, which have these already priced in, vs external ones which can just not care and be cheap.

Always sad that this reasonable tax adaptions are not really in place for more things, e.g. the cost of worker protection here vs there.
That sounds like a CS-driven perspective on what "good" means when it comes to software. For CS, "good" means the quality of the code/engineering. For business, it means the efficient solution to a customer's problem. And you are right - those drive different methods for delivering software.

Where they meet is in the long-term. Once the "good for business" software hits a market, its "good for CS" level needs to go up so that it can be maintained easily and affordably and expanded. Hence, mature products need CS skills more than startup projects.

If you like the business side, do startups and greenfield work. If you like CS, look for "boring" jobs making established software better.
