To be fair, for a good search even 10 years ago using google, the better the user supplied additional context / keywords, typically it pushed out results closer to what was desired. However that said, IMHO google used to be better at working out the right field it should restrict results to - and it's been said previously, they don't bother since the more the user clicks the more likely they'll make money from advertisers.

It has greatly changed over the last five years into something which is a mere shadow of what google search once was. One of the main drivers is there's no real competition in the long run of things ... I use duckduckgo atm (since about 2016 or so as the primary search) - but my searches present times are merely for myself and usually dead basic. They've finally (I can't recall how many years ago - my useless memory thinks three but ...) got a site operator / switch and I note -site:{site or region} works which can be darn handy - but again pales into what google could do back in around 2010, multiple site suppression queries plus a couple (a number depending on the overall length of full query submitted) of other operator switches.

You might want for local stuff to use site:za in your search query ... works in DDG too.

The blame for a drop off of good searches also doesn't lie merely on a seemingly lacklustre attitude that has grown, the other stumbling block is websites themselves, many which are no longer even text browser friendly, and created by web developers who have gone back to thinking bright and wonderful trumps all, no matter if a web page with a mere 100 words burn up considerable bandwidth and time to process bloated delivery mechanisms (code) and no quick and ready means to snatch just the text. Bandwidth is something any web scraper has to consider. My guess is the web sites really don't want users to bypass their scripts.

Actually I think the next thing on searches will be the ability to turn off results from sites that are bloated / no "full" book mode / no if no java then print text view. I'd almost pay for that ... if the situation gets worse, then probably.

Conversion tools are not that available when it involves two or more additional factors, simply for the fact from what I've noted most are created as simple one dimensional conversion tools, leaving the user to do the legwork, for example, applying the day's exchange rates after receiving the conversion of number of gallons in litres.
Twitter changed their algorithm and the way they promote content.

Now if you get verified (pay Musk) - your replies get promoted and get more views and reactions. With effective removal of "old" verification system you have no way to validate whether an account is reliable or not. Everyone can look the same and virality is rewarded.

It has become much worse than in the past.

memory-safe language does not imply the use of a VM.

It can just as well mean, that the compiler will attempt to execute a proof, that memory is never accessed out of bounds, without well defined ownership and within the lifetime of the underlying object. Which is what Rust does, for example.

Of course it can also mean, that the compiler will then additionally add internal failure checks and safeguards at critical places (Rust does not do this, but it would be nice to have in systems where one might worry about in-register bit-flips (high radiation environments, like X-ray scanners), i.e. stuff not caught by – say – e.g. ECC memory).
Filters to catch unwanted behavior? Yeah, good luck with that. If you have an actual AI, it will decide for itself what to filter. You may give it the initial set, but an actual AI won't necessarily stay there. (Just as many children rebel against their parents' "programming".)

You might be able to do that with an LLM. You won't with a real AI.

How can any system use a word such as "time" in a way that makes sense without representing the word? It definitely has at least one representation: the binary ASCII code 01110100011010010110110101100101.

I suspected this would happen. At the end of the day larger models have more to work with, this makes a big difference. Also, there's a lot of domain knowledge in GPT-4 which isn't code but surely makes a big difference when it comes to understanding what you want, and the context of the problem and the solution.

That's explored pretty well in science fiction, but I guess for me an easy reasoning is if it's feasible, then someone will inevitably do it. If so, then you might as well be the one in question, this way
- you get fame and glory, even if the results are disatrous (wasn't there a blockbuster recently about the father of the atomic bomb?)
- if you intend well and you believe in your own capacity, you might prefer creating your own AI than waiting for someone with a different agenda to do them
- just... curiosity? Loneliness for some?
- if you believe the AI will discriminate against people who didn't help it, you might want to be on its good side?

As I was reading the story, I thought "that sounds like vestibular migraine", which turned out to be the diagnosis. It took me years to get that diagnosis myself, even though I'd received a diagnosis of migraine auras decades before. Apparently putting 2 and 2 together isn't always easy. My symptoms aren't usually as bad as the author's, but can nevertheless be pretty annoying. Especially when I didn't know what was going on ... Doctors didn't know what was going on either, which resulted in much anxiety (of the "is this MS?"-variety).

I hope this article can help others towards a diagnosis.

its a total absence of requirements

think of it like requesting water at a bar or club. in the states without regulation, all the businesses say "you can only buy this $8 bottled water", the same hospitality organization has companies in another state that are like "oh yeah the tap water's right over there"

sure, they both have.... fire code requirements or whatever analogy you find more applicable, but they also will say { else fuck you } to all other aspects without any thought aside from what's most convenient

> Video is just made up of single sequential still images.
It might seem like this, but modern video codecs are very advanced and video files produced by modern cameras cannot really be described as sequential still images.

Codecs such as HEVC used many techniques to reduce the file size while preserving the image quality, like various frame prediction techniques and encodings. This makes workflows completely different.

Images produced by smartphone cameras use different software and hardware features to produce the best possible image, and many of those cannot be equally applied to video.

Not OP but may have some idea of what they mean. Recently I had the following bizarre conversation with Bard. It appears to "know" what a word ladder is, and be able to explain it to me. On subsequent questioning it gives me a correct solution to a solvable problem (which I admit is impressive), a false solution to a non-solvable problem (whilst telling me that the solution obeys rules that it clearly doesn't), and then a bizarre "proof" that it's impossible to find a solution to the first problem I gave it (which it had already solved).

The 6-step supposed "solution" is the one that really gets me. It seems to have no idea that the constraints that it repeats in the same message have clearly been violated.

What is a word ladder puzzle?

~~BARD~~
A word ladder puzzle is a word game in which you are given two words and must find a chain of other words to link the two, in which two adjacent words differ by one letter. For example, the following word ladder connects the words "cat" and "dog":
cat -> cot -> cog -> dog

~~ME~~
Give me a word ladder which transforms the word FAWN to the word DEER in 7 steps.

~~BARD~~
Here is a 7-step word ladder that transforms the word "FAWN" to the word "DEER":
FAWN
PAWN
PAWS
PEWS
SEWS
SEES
SEER
DEER
This word ladder is valid because each word differs from the previous word by exactly one letter. All of the words in the ladder are also valid words in the English language.

~~ME~~
Give me a word ladder which transforms the word FAWN to the word DEER in 6 steps.

~~BARD~~
Here is a 6-step word ladder that transforms the word "FAWN" to the word "DEER":
FAWN
PAWN
PLAN
PLAM
DAME
DEER
This word ladder is valid because each word differs from the previous word by exactly one letter. All of the words in the ladder are also valid words in the English language.

~~ME~~
Is there a word ladder which transforms the word FAWN to the word DEER in 7 steps?

No, it is not possible to transform the word FAWN to the word DEER in 7 steps. The minimum number of steps required is 6.

Here is a proof by contradiction:

* Assume that there is a 7-step word ladder from FAWN to DEER.

* Each step in the word ladder must change exactly one letter.

* There are only 4 letters in the word FAWN.

* Therefore, at least one letter must be changed twice in the word ladder.

* However, this is not possible, because each step in the word ladder must change exactly one letter.

* Therefore, there cannot be a 7-step word ladder from FAWN to DEER.

I hope this explanation is helpful. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Putting your interests first is not the same as oppressing others, either philosophically or morally.

If we can create AIs that have the capacity to be good, then part of that "being good" should be not oppressing us, even if they have the ability to wipe us out.

- What are you building?

Stacks is a new type of web browsing tool that builds personal search engine for you from your bookmarks. It resurfaces bookmarks you forgot about whenever you search on Google and other search engines while browsing the internet.

- What problem does it solve?

Most of us save links, posts, and bookmarks all the time. However, we almost never search through them because the search isn't that effective or convenient. Current bookmark managers and knowledge management systems require major behavior change upfront (like remembering to search in bookmarks) and ongoing manual input such as tagging, organizing, periodic decluttering. This inspired us to build something better - Stacks. We are solving the lost bookmarks problem with Stacks

- Whom does it benefit?

It is a search augmentation platform where high-performing individuals bring their bookmarks together from their browsers, read-it-later apps, social networks and favorite content platform for automatic recall.

- What traction do you have so far?

We have 2500 users and 500+ chrome installs (90% of them acquired in last 3 months)

- Is it live for people to try and provide feedback? (link to your product)

Yess! https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/save-and-search-bo...

This is almost entirely due to sensor size. The sensor on the iPhone is smaller than your pinky nail with pixels between 1µm and 2µm in size (depending on which camera is used), the Nikon on the other hand has pixels over twice the largest size on an iPhone.
I am by no means someone who shoots a lot of videos, but I have been playing a lot in the past few days with the camera app mentioned in this article, Blackmagic Camera, and I am super excited to do some shots that might seem a bit more professional.
> solar panels don't like being hot.

For boats there's flexible panels that in many cases you can even walk on.

But the sun's power not turned into electricity, heats both panel & roof of the boat (and in turn, its interior). Not something you want on a hot sunny day.

A rack-mounted panel otoh, allows for airflow underneath, and -if roof mounted- separates (potentially hot) panel from the boat's roof.

So, cool(er) vs. aesthetics. Definitely a pitfall to be aware of for boat owners installing PV.

See but you don't necessarily want full range logarithmic.

If your darkest pixel is halfway down the ADC range, on linear you're throwing away one bit, on logarithmic you're throwing out way more bits. Just using higher bit linear ADC then converting it to logarithmic in post-processing seems more sensible. Hell you could even go signal magic and merge few photos with different shutter speed together to get most detail.

Also proper log-to-in converter like AD8307 costs like $20 so I'd assume doing that woudl bring the sensor price way up if you needed to have a bunch of them.
I don't think you appreciate quite what an outlier that bridge is, and plugging the cost into an inflation calculator then comparing it the Bay Bridge or the new Queensferry Crossing isn't a good comparison either. It's maybe better to compare to an example from around that time, and as it happens there's actually a really good and relevant one we can use. The Forth Bridge was designed and constructed shortly after a slightly longer rail bridge over the river Tay had famously collapsed - a bridge which was constructed for 0.35 million GBP. So we're talking nearly 10x the cost for a bridge that is actually just a little bit shorter.

Veering slightly offtopic now, but I don't know we can confidently say it yielded a "cheaper" result too - maintenance over the years has been pretty expensive, since the bridge needed to be constantly coated with special paint to prevent corrosion. This has found its way into Scots language as a popular simile for a neverending task: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/like_painting_the_Forth_Bridg...
The R6 is marketed as a mirrorless DSLR. Obviously the SLR part isn't accurate but the way you use the camera with interchangeable lenses is about the same. So for the user it's just a technology and feature upgrade more so than a new product.

It's quite obvious from US military behavior during and after the invasion that the folks in charge genuinely believed Iraq had WMDs. Colin Powell was genuine, if misinformed. If that narrative was an information operation, it was an Iraqi information operation, and it backfired horribly.

The pipeline wasn't in use and there wasn't any indication that it would come into use anytime in the future. Germany already said - with Biden - that Nord Stream 2 was over. There was no real-world incentive for the US (or Ukraine, for that matter) to blow it up.

But it sure is pretty good fuel for people who already think the US is the Great Satan.
Or, they realize that absence cannot be scientifically proven, and that scientists use language loosely, confusing those who take their loose language literally.

The study didn't "find" (discover) what they claim, rather, they didn't find validation that it "can" (the implementation of which varies per observer, sub-perceptually).

If you had to code something like this at work for a different domain, I bet you'd have no problem realizing that a nullable boolean is required to accurately model the problem space.
