All of them allow Lit components. Almost all frameworks support them, because they are just standard web components underneath. The only way they wouldn't work is if the framework did something actively stupid to break web components.
> Imagine paying $4,999 USD for a device from a company

A high spec Mac Mini is $1299 USD (10 core CPU, 16 core GPU, 16 GB).

Anyone paying $4,999 for a Mac Studio/Pro is doing media creation for work and doesn't give a fuck about games or will have a separate console/PC for that. Those are workstations, not for gaming.
As of yet, most people with brain implants have them to try to improve profound problems.

Cochlear implants are controversial in the deaf community, but they also have a relatively clear purpose and effect (vs being "arbitrary").
I have never seen anyone complain about $60 for an AAA game. Well unless it turned out bad, but the price is not the issue then.
"right now is being sold by hundreds of data brokers to anyone with a credit card."

Has anybody tried to actually buy data from a data broker? I haven't found it to be nearly as easy as this makes it seem. Looking for tips / suggestions on brokers who might sell me my own information for decently cheap :) for academic purposes of course...

I do like this law tho.
Why AI is incredibly smart and shockingly stupid [video]
I wonder why exactly this attack can't be pulled off with HTTP/1.1 and TCP RST for cancellation.
It seems that (even with SYN cookies involved) an attacker could create new connections, send HTTP request, then quickly after send a RST.

Is it just that the kernel doesn't really communicate TCP RST all that well to the application, so the HTTP server continues to count the connection against the "open connection limit" even though it isn't open anymore?

I can buy the "wmic will be ripped out" but this is hard to believe. So many corporate crap depends on vbs. Not only that, random programs, installers/uninstallers and more lazily use it. This was the thing you used in windows before powershell was a thing (this and jscript). You can maybe use mshta but it too can't do much without vbs/js code.

I'll give you an example: most hp printer setup crap uses mshta which if I remember right uses vbs code (could be jscript too). I assume since the windows script host supports both, this would affect jscript as well.
Bullshit has an illusion of reasoning instead of actual reasoning. Basically you give arguments that sounds reasonable on the surface but there is no actual reasoning behind them.
Now that I think of it, it was close to the 100th anniversary of the civil war and not long after Lincoln’s death so Lincoln must have been on people’s minds. The civil rights movement would be another reason people would be thinking about Lincoln’s legacy too.

I am not aware of this problem existing in practice.

Chargers and devices of course have a wide variety of power ratings, but those are generally all compatible with each other. Just get a charger with a higher rating than the device and it works.

When it comes to cables, pretty much everyone just uses the standard 20V 3A / 20V 5A / 48V 5A cables. The only exception I am aware of is Oppo's SuperVOOC.

The court ruled that the alleged facts, if true, would mean the plaintiff has a case.

This isn't a final ruling, but a reversal of the trial court's dismissal of the case.

IANAL but as a layperson it seems like a stretch to say that not being served ads by a business is equivalent to being refused service.
Imagining pessimistic scenarios is useful if it spurs action. In this case, appropriate action would be to learn about Google's account recovery options and take advantage of them. Make sure you have multiple, independent ways of logging in. (For example, by printing out backup codes and keeping them with your important papers.)

But even this can't protect against getting locked out of your Google account due to some Google policy change, so ideally we'd rehearse how to get by without it.
The goal being to reduce demand by reduced quality of living?
Adding decorators to JS is a mistake but thats just my opinion.

I don’t like them because they make it more difficult for me to understand what is actually happening when you run the code that is decorated. I have to go and read the decorator source and then it’s some metaprogramming nonsense instead of something more straightforward.

It’s very possible i’m just a curmudgeon but I still find it off putting and is one of the reasons i haven’t really experimented with lit more than vaguely paying attention to it.
There are unofficial ports for ARM. They are fully playable from start to end at 2k@120fps (Retina resolutions) on Apple Silicon Macs...

Sure there are minor bugs like flashlight in HL2 not working correctly.

But IMO Valve just don't care about macOS to assign even one engineer to fix this and compile the new binaries.
Exodus is not the story of the origin of the Jewish people, so its historicity has nothing to do with whether or not the Israelites are descendent from Canaanites.
I feel like the big complication at the moment would be getting it to navigate outside of controlled environments. Mainstream tech is getting there (iPhone LIDAR mapping, Meta Quest room scanning) but there's still a lot of dots to connect for a robot far less inherently steady than a Roomba.

What I would bet we'll see at first is some of these little guys in Disney parks, in fenced-off areas or small stages that are kept meticulously clean by staff, where they can interact with visitors without needing to handle all the complications of the real world yet.
Powering AI could use as much electricity as a small country
I've been recently coaching someone and reminding myself that lives and careers have different stages, and these stages require different strategies.

When you're on the younger side, a lot of your "win" comes from avoiding obvious mistakes. As in, "do homework" rather than "get high" or "pick a job where you will learn more" vs "coast."

As you grow successful, you are no longer picking between smart and dumb, options, but rather between two good ones. This is harder. You have to get good at saying NO to good opportunities and let real problems fester, so that you can focus on the even more important stuff. That's the mode in which you need the Eisenhower matrix approach - to force yourself to figure out what you will say YES to and thus what you will have to feel good saying NO to.
In my kneck of the woods we call that backfire. A misfire is when something goes wrong in the cylinder such as the spark failing. Misfire can cause backfire, but not all backfire is traced to misfire. A very rich mixture can backfire without misfire.

yeah they sold 80 million copies three years ago, and now instead of being three years into developing The Next Big Thing they're struggling to catch up to where they were supposed to be in 2020. You don't need a PHD in mathematics to see how that would lead to them losing money.
Replit's new AI Model now available on Hugging Face
I know it is the actual title of the article, but is "ripped" really an accurate word to use to describe what is happening here?

> "VBScript is being deprecated," Microsoft said. "In future releases of Windows, VBScript will be available as a feature on demand before its removal from the operating system."

This sounds like the opposite of "ripped" to me. Maybe "slowly withdrawn" might be more accurate.

"Ripped" implies (to me) a sudden and traumatic removal, without care for collateral damage that might be caused.
I'm from Brazil, where as is known many robberies and assaults happen on the street, and ever since the whole process of putting essential life services into smartphones started, many people are adopting a scheme of having 2 smartphones (if not 3 or 4 for other reasons! ) :

1) The House smartphone → it is where you install everything truly vital, like the main bank app (started mainly because of this), 2FA apps like authy google microsoft equivalents, passwords, streaming apps (to do their 2FA), etc. This phone NEVER NEVER leaves the house, except ONCE if the bank app requires on location authentication of the phone for the bank app to function, which is common practice with traditional banks.

2) The Street Smartphone → you essentially create a ''street bank account'', deposit sufficient money for day-to-day transactions for some days or weeks, install the app, and only keep this app installed for any money use (many people also avoid even using the same bank as the main bank app, as the main bank usually is a traditional bank with physical locations to get help - and has tons of personal information stored - and the street bank usually is a fin-tech bank that people do not really trust like old banks, either economically or for security, but it has less personal data anyways). It also has the essencial social media like Whatsapp, instagram, some password manager like bitwarden or the apple-google cloud, and 2FA (the ones who actually use it) is avoided in this device.

3) the thief smartphone → many people like to take some old phone around to give to a thief if the need arises, this way even the street smartphone is saved. Might not work if the thief smartphone is too old or clearly broken though.

4) the work smartphone → the only mostly chill 2nd smartphone on the list, useful to keep private life separate from the professional life, and also is useful to avoid the boss sneaking into the worker's private life and devices. There was a scandal here when a provincial government out of the blue installed a whole app in the smartphones of teachers AND students with no warning or any control whatsoever, and many people got scared that the administrative google service app being used by all (google education or some s*t) pretty much allowed the devices to be remotely controlled and viewed by the employer , be it private or public, so many people assumed any work devices is or can be done the same.
> But in a typical American city, everything is SO spread out that it just won't work

Stop calling them cities then! They're just endless suburbs and strip malls, which makes for a really really large town. If they're not dense enough to do what cities do, they're not cities.

That remains a purely-hypothetical future though. Not something that you sacrifice any shred of present-day market share for, in the hopes that someday all past trends of "smaller-form-factor devices are more limited than larger-form-factor user-upgradeable devices" will be reversed.

Video games have the separate complication, though, that dialogue needs to holistically work with the rest of the plot. There's no such requirement for a very fancy Furby.
The point is not that we're using tech to prevent something. The internet does not prevent pr0n, after all. But that you can't treat a human problem as if it was a tech problem merely because the tech allows it to happen easier.

My point was that the underlying problem is that some people want to look at porn instead of work. That's the problem we have to solve. The internet is just a symptom, it allows those people to pretend to be working while actually looking at porn. The solution is not to cripple everyone's internet access. The solution is to either change the people, or change those people's attitudes, so they don't want to watch porn at work. It's a human problem so it can only be solved in human ways.

With CSAM, the problem is not that there's child porn on the internet. The problem is that some people like to abuse children. We need to solve that problem. Monitoring every byte sent over the internet is not going to solve that problem. It's a human problem. We need to work out ways of detecting these people sooner in life and either help them over it, or remove their access to children. I'm not a social worker so I don't know how we'd solve that problem.
The First casualty.
There's actually quite a lot of XML/XSLT support in various proprietary databases (eg RDF databases), and there's Postgres support too:

I generally agree with you about 2 electric cars. That said, I don't see how a 1000 mile car is possible. You can't even get that with generally available gas cars (The Volkswagen XL1 only has a 650 km range for those curious.)

I own a used EV (a 2019 Model 3 that I picked up this year) with real-world 300km range. It's an amazing main car, except that it is too small for my family. Still, we use it for about 80% of our transportation now (the other 20% being handled by a minivan).

More saliently, the charge time at home from 5% to 80% was ~30 hours on my level 1 charger. The idea of getting 5 times as much range in 1/30th the time sounds dangerous, unless we are talking about much smaller vehicles.

I've heard Toyota talking about solid state batteries, and I hope someone eventually succeeds in bringing them to market. However, I assume it will be used to reduce the weight and cost of the vehicle, not drastically increase range (and cost and charge time)
This works for some games, but for others I find the latency to be too high, and compression can get pretty wacky with games that have a lot of movement.
Companies are making serious money with AI
You have said two separate things on the same matter. So, just to clear out any ambiguity, could you please clarify for me which is your claim:

That we should assume these things to be false, or merely effectively false?
You know, that could make a good scifi story. Home maintenance and security droids lead to an evolutionary arms race with urban wildlife...
I think you misunderstand induced demand. The increased demand when you add more capacity, simply means even more utilisation is achieved -> increased productivity. This is not a waste of time.

The correct comparison should be comparing for each area and situation, which type of transport investment results in the greatest utility.
The objective is not to minimise traffic, but to maximise peoples ability to get where they need to be.
Yes, absolutely. They can adjust performance priorities.

By the relative mix of training data, additional fine tuning training phases, and/or pre-prompts that give the model extra guidance relative to particular task types.
You have to exclude them from the discussion if you know they will go there.
As someone who has lived in a variety of south-east US cities, the idea that nobody picks up on the non-emergency police line is bananas to me. Is this really true?
Amazed congratulations to you and parent. I can't imagine going through that, but then I imagine you wouldn't have chosen to either. Hope things continue improving.

Your description also made me reflect on infants, and whether we effectively "feel more" in that stage, as our nervous systems are self-calibrating and adjusting gain.
I pretty much want the LLM to be great at memorizing things. That's what I'm not great at.

If it had perfect recall I would be so thrilled.

And just because it's memorized the data--as all intelligences would need to do to spit data out--doesn't mean it can't still do useful operations on the data, or explain it in different words, or whatever a human might do with it.
In Germany they are called rolladens.

That seems... redundant. For this law to apply, the person would have to be using dating-site filters to find matches as customers for a business.

If that's already the case, then it's either prostitution (for which laws usually already exist) or at least a scenario where the site-owner should/would ban the account when people complain that their "coffee date" was a lie that turned into a sales pitch.
For those using SQLite, what's the biggest database you have used it for?
I gave up windows the day i learned that minecraft ran perfectly well on linux. More than a decade later, i have never felt the need to go back, but it all depends on the types of games you play.
For noise, that should be local police enforcing it. Unfortunately, American local police are somewhere between neo-Nazis and actively useless.

And no one will ever need more than 640K of memory…
Wait... I'm very much academically interested in the math you did. Particularly, how a standard deviation calculation being wrong can give you an edge. Do you understand the bug enough to know how it changed things and why it worked? I'm not asking you what the edge is, it's just that from my understanding of how these things work something like that shouldn't be possible.
Really like this human-centered way of thinking about performance in terms of how it maps to our perception and working rhythms
This is because they are not on the same level.

If you are using SQL alchemy on a postgres db, you might be using psycopg without knowing it.

I think the main difference is these robots aren’t individuals like us. They don’t and won’t have unique experience.

They are essentially one “organism”. They are effectively the same height, same weight, same battery life, same way of processing information, same capabilities.

There is zero uniqueness. Like a single machine with a thousand eyes and arms.

If they develop uniqueness it would get wild, like the movie rogue one…

If a robot is damaged it would be interesting though. Would it adapt ? If it adapts would it be part of the same fleet? Could it receive the same “updates”, or would it be an individual? It would the able to do certain things others bots of the same model could do…
hmm intriguing; I wonder how is Cursor/Tabnine doing in this aspect

or are they suffering similiar lose?
So none of them could make it on their own as an ongoing concern…
No! This is a bad argument.

Your one off example of an LLM not being able to handle a request that is not solveable is not relevant to claim of whether LLMs can fundamentally do this.

Curren state LLMs do current have the ability to point out that some requests are impossible.

They’re not great at it. But they can do it. What you’re hitting is a current state quality problem.

There’s no particular reason to think that it’s unachievable with the same approach.
As far as I can tell it's still free for relatively low request rates, but you need to register an account/get an app id from them (I've been doing some testing with it recently as part of an app)
They employ humans in support - behind firewalls like follower counts.

If Neil deGrasse Tyson gets locked out of his Instagram, you can be damn well sure someone answers his support request.

If you or I, in two to four digit follower counts, have an issue? We can get fucked.

Damn near most companies do this with the social media PR teams, too. Any tags/mentions, messages, etc are filtered through software that decides how much cloud you have and thus how worthy of attention you are. Delta loses your guitar and you've got 100 followers? Nobody in the social media team is likely to even see it. Someone with 5000 followers, and a post about it gets a couple hundred likes/retweets? American is going to fall over themselves to make it right.

That's the great lie about social media - that you can use it to draw attention to a problem you're having. Unless you've cultivated a large enough following, you'll be completely ignored.
Apple cares games, in a Silicon Valley way, like Google. I feel they don't love games but accidentally become a big player.
A bias may preclude someone from considering a different perspective, but I am not sure all biases are inherently damaging to society.
> Ardour supports only Linux VST (rarely used, unpopular format).

"Linux VST" and "Windows VST" are not plugin formats. "VST" is the format, "Windows" and "Linux" are platforms. Do you seriously expect a Linux app to run Windows plugins out-of-the box?

> Most of plugins use Windows VST, i.e. they are distributed as Windows-compatible DLL.

Yes, most (commerical) plugin companies only provide Windows and macOS binaries. But how is that Ardour's fault? You can run Ardour on Windows on macOS. If you really want to use Linux and you need to use Windows-only plugins, you can either run Ardour in Wine or use a plugin bridge such as yabridge.
How do you secure 1Password? With a passkey? See the loop?

Or a password? Wait, didn't we want to get rid of passwords? How is that any better?

The kinds of people with reused passwords all over the place won't use 1Password. And if you do use 1password to actually generate strong passwords you don't need passkeys and it works on all kinds of services without those having to support passkeys.
Thanks you are correct, I took it as derogatory.
Are you unfamiliar with “non-emergency” lines? I’ve made considerably more (obviously still not a large number) of calls to the non-emergency number than 911. Most recently when my car was towed but the two company hadn’t updated their database quickly enough, for example.

I thought that being able to connect to a live human operator / police dispatcher outside of 911 was ubiquitous in America.

Oh, no. Musk can do nothing good for social systems. His models of social systems are oversimplified, and his methods are not for social systems. You can fail an orbital launch just to see how it will go wrong, to learn things. But such experiments on human subjects and societies are frown upon at very least. And with medical care there are people lives at stake. Thousands or maybe hundreds of thousands annually. You don't want to disrupt this system, to reform gently maybe, but without any disruptions.
I feel like Apple providing the option to switch out default apps for browser and email is telling, as it reveals they both know and care enough to not let Google Maps be swapped in for mapping and overtake them.

I think without fear, challenges to over come, ways to improve, there would be little point to living. Experience would be so bland?

The feeling over fear when you want to ask someone out, then you do it and it works out, that is the spice of experience. Like wise when it doesn’t work out, it can suck but it’s also part of the spice.
