Google wants more control by projecting itself as infallible trust authority on device.
Its standards are so high that if you are ever on other side of its automated tools first response usually is blame user rather than hire any human support team to investigate issues even if they may be coming from its programs. And then the reports keep coming on how it was error or mistake due to scale of operations its just rounding error. Next time it will be different. Trust us we are the only ones who knows this or able to do it right even if we sometimes do make mistakes you should only let us do it. No one is better than us.
SIMT and SIMD are different things. It's fortunate that they have different names.

A GPU is a single instruction multiple data machine. That's what the predicated vector operations are. 32 floats at a time, each with a disable bit.

Cuda is a single instruction multiple thread language. You write code in terms of one float and branching on booleans, as if it was a CPU, with some awkward intrinsics for accessing the vector units in the GPU.

That is, the programming model of a GPU ISA and that of Cuda are not the same. The GPU gives you vector instructions. Cuda gives you (mostly) scalar instructions and a compiler that deals with this mismatch, lowering branches to changes in exec mask and so forth.

With my numerical library hat on, I hate this. Programming a simd machine through a simt language means trying to get the compiler to transform the control flow into the thing you could easily write using vector instructions.

With my compiler implementer hat on, I hate this. It gives you two control flow graphs intertwined and a really bad time in register allocation.

It's not totally clear to me why simt won out over writing the vector operations. I'm certainly in the minority opinion here.
It’s part of the webcam feed provided by the OS to apps on the latest macOS. This means the effects apply across all apps. You can increase lighting adjustment (aka Studio Light) and depth of field with sliders in the system menu bar, as well as toggle thede reactions on and off. They’re on by default.

For what it’s worth the lighting and background blur effects are really good, much better than the tuning built into Zoom. I’m leaving the reactions on too for the comedy for now but I’ll probably turn them off eventually.
Are you just looking for local to St Louis? How much experience do you have? Do you have a broad skillset or are you pretty focused? Each of these things has a huge effect on your job search, and you didn't really mention any of them.

It's fun to ask it to try to draw ascii art based on an image. It barely draws anything resembling the original image, but usually gets the concepts in the original image accurately.
On by default.

If you still don't understand: this feature and setting used to not exist. Now it does. And it's on by default. So, it has been turned on for everyone.

This is a thing that used to not exist, and now it exists for everyone using this OS. And they will not know what it is or how to turn it off unless they are told by someone else.

One day, you get into your car and start driving. But the horn honks whenever you press on the accelerator. An angry drivers rolls down their window and yells at you: "What are you, stupid? The car company went into all of the cars last night and modified them. You need to open the trunk and disconnect the 'honk while accelerating wire'! Jeeze, how can you be so clueless?"
Long press brings up tooltips in iOS. Perhaps in Android too.
Well, the original release had browsing disabled, so it couldn't access any URL.
The study took place over only four days per diet, hardly enough time to provide a fair assessment of how different diets affect an individual. Often people’s bodies and metabolisms need time to adjust to a changing diet, and this can include different levels of water and electrolyte retention.
the technique really isn’t “stable diffusion” at all. I’ve seen a couple papers build 3D generative models on top of GS though. Also depending on the measure of efficiency, 3DGS isn’t more efficient. Maybe more efficient than other NeRF methods but less than explicitly geometry representation.

And like another person explained, there’s no deep learning. There’s not even a neural net. In the other NeRF literature there are neural nets but they usually aren’t deep. RegNeRF uses a deep neural network along side a shallow net for regularization.
Scientists Successfully Simulate Backward Time Travel
Do you have a link to the court case? Defaming the state is its own offense so not quite clear what the terrorism link is.

Btw., that has nothing to do with the EU. Domestic German criminal law and nothing recent.
The key idea is that by manipulating quantum entanglement, researchers have shown they can simulate the effects of retroactively changing past actions and improving outcomes, like knowing which gift to send before receiving a wish list. While time travel itself may not be possible, these simulations provide insights into quantum mechanics and can help solve problems in quantum metrology experiments.
> however, it is simply not the case that games have rampant amount of hacking in general.

Yes, many do. Especially ones with poor anti-cheat, which tend not to be very popular - because of the aforementioned cheating. Even non-overly competitive games are rampant with cheating, take a look at GTA5 online for an easy example. Without VAC games like the counter-strike series would be completely unplayable, I have over 1000 hours in the game and have ran into my fair share of extremely obvious cheaters over the years. I suspect you don't play competitive games very much if that's your view on the matter.

> Why would you just downvote this, I already suspected you're one of those idiots who thinks everyone is cheating.

1. I can't downvote you, as you're a reply to my comment. Not that I would have anyway.

2. I've never cheated in an online game (my Steam account is 17 years old..), and I'm well aware that many players are not cheating and are simply better than me.

3. No need to resort to attacking me because you disagree.

Anyone who can build an API to an LLM that was provably secure against prompt injection would have a license to print money right now.

I don't think the lack of a solution is because it's too expensive. It's because we don't know how to do it yet.
The input parameters are still dynamic which is made explicit with tagged template literals, so that makes almost all queries static in nature.
Which you do with any health care system. Your health care premiums aren't really based off of your health alone, but of everyone that health care company covers - plus the costs of hospitals and so on. Those costs, too, include folks that didn't make the best choices.

And overall, I'm OK with this. I'd rather help folks when they need it even if they didn't make perfect choices than leave folks suffering - and make sure their kids aren't growing up watching their parent physically suffer because the parent messed up when they was younger.
I'm most surprised that Stanley actually makes professional tools.

Why do all these tool companies make actual good tools, and then license their names off to sell sub par rubbish trading off a name that used to be known for quality.
At minimum it should say Friday Morning. Glad someone is fighting back on this practice.

While I can understand Google and the banking apps' actions, it doesn't make much sense given how PCs having root is hardly every a concern for a bank. If you can do something bad with banking on a rooted device, it's probably doable on a computer too.

> Are you even reading the text you cite?

Yes I have read it enough times that I knew exactly where it was in the book.

> That compares SIMD to SIMT.

Yes and so does the op I responded to.

> SIMD, not SPMD. SIMD is a more restrictive hardware paradigm,

Thanks but I was already aware. The op was the one that conflated SPMD and SIMD, not me.

> SPMD is just a mutiple copies of a single program running on multiple processes/threads, i.e., exactly what CUDA does.

CUDA is a C language extension that enables you to write host and device code in the same source. That's it. SIMT is the model of compute on NVIDIA SMs.

> The only real justification for a different programming model is that SIMT creates opportunities for implicit SIMD on a thread scheduling level if you've written your program in a way that the warps don't diverge.

No that's incorrect. SIMT is implemented using predicated execution and instruction replay exactly so that warps can diverge.

Again, it's amazing you guys are so sure that NVIDIA pulled a fast one on just the whole community/industry and didn't actually innovate but it turns out you're actually missing some pieces of the puzzle.
Scientists Are Still Unraveling the Secrets of the 'Mona Lisa'
I like the imprecise date, especially when they have the eact datetime, down to the second, in a ABBR title, which is clickable on mobile.

I work from home, for myself, and I don't care what date it is and I rarely both with the date, and knowing something was about a week or a month ago is about as accurate as I need.
I don't use Jira but suggest sharing it on GreasyFork for those that do.

Yet another patent troll (Meticulous Home and Decent Espresso sued)
The "Duvall Espresso IP Enforcement" llc title
I'm totally unexposed to this guy's (Carlos of Meticulous) work and came across it in the Gaggiuno Discord.
Anyone seen an open framework gameplan for fighting patent trolls? I've seen plenty of writeups including enough legal specifics which could be assembled to such a doc. I think we're all aware of the challenges arising from a company's value prop + product TAM (or backers kickstarter backers ) not exceeding the up front legal costs of fighting.
Ironically you might have to root your phone to install the necessary Magisk modules to make the app think it's on a phone running the official thing.
Agree, when they are archived like in (google or web.archive.org), they will be relative to the indexing date if the label isn't calculated in client side, probably the javascript won't be working well in archive though.

Plus, consider using time tag, datetime attribute for displaying dates in a more accessible way. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/ti... It's not so much different than a span tag in browsers yet, but why not making out webpages future compatible.
The Bastard Operator from Hell
LineageOS unfortunately dropped support for my Moto G4 relatively quickly after I installed it and it only was supported up to Android 7.1. I have been running an unofficial build of 8.1 ever since, but that is also horribly outdated by now.

Phyllis Latour: The secret life of a WW2 heroine revealed
They are under-estimating the level of development in tech in the "global south" which has a differing agenda. There is now enough talent and capital in the global south to kick-start tech companies and actually it's cheaper there. The problem is that they need time to catch up to the Western big tech. Why would anyone use a local chat/social app if Twitter and Instagram exists. Now, if they are being deplatformed, it'll be a different situation.
This is a great library. I’ve been using it in production for a while (since 2019, IIRC). No complaints.
Automated testing is only as good as the tests you write. Most of those industries have very strict formal specification and verification that doesn't lend itself well to the "move fast and break things" attitude of the 2010's web.

In fact, the major health org I am working with second-hand (customer of the company I work for) has a hard code freeze mid-November. The remaining 6 weeks of the year prior to Jan 1 is nothing but QA, then QA'ing bug fixes, rinse and repeat.

It is very un-agile, and it isn't likely to change. The closest they will ever get is back to true waterfall, which is planned iterations.
Make it a “hidden” link or something like on discord maybe?

Edit — I’m not a frontend dev. I shall defer to their expertise in said matters.
Source? I think you need to check your math. To sequester all of the co2 that gets emitted per year, you’d need about 1.6 trillion new trees. This assumes no other improvements in anything. This is because 37 billion metric tons (global co2 emissions) divided by an average of 22 kg of co2 sequestered by the average tree gets us around 1.6 trillion trees.

Trees are a great co2 sink and large reforesting would result in a lot of runway, on the order of hundreds of years of runway, for technological co2 sequestration to develop further.
Thanks for the links! To me (merely an amateur observer), it is not perfectly obvious that the LAION dataset is legal, because I don't think "we don't have your original images anymore, we only kept the results of applying an algorithm to them" is a universal defense. If the algorithm is "resize to 640×480" you are probably still infringing, but if it's "calculate md5 checksum" you're probably not. I don't know where on the spectrum LLM training will fall, legally!
Thanks for positive vibe
I don't think they're saying it can't be more than 24 hours just that it can be less.

Clearly it's confusingly worded so probably best if they just redo it.
You need to tooltip it without underlines... Maybe you did but couldn't tell from your comment.
A lot of these "UI Features" are just annoying. the worst one is cutting off the ends of Tex...
Current kernel and current distro tuning is almost always folly unless there's a specific issue you're trying to work around.

Trying to squeeze a little more juice out of something is bound to come at the detriment of something else, or worse, break something else in unexpected ways.

Basically, if the tunables aren't obvious in whatever default config you're using, the issue isn't in that config, it's that you're asking too much of your hardware and just need better hardware.
The worst application I use about misrepresenting timestamps is gitg.

Check this screenshot

https://ubunlog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/git-gui-gitg....

There are a number of commits marked as 3 days ago. It's only a little bit better than no information at all: or doesn't tell me if they happened in the morning or in the afternoon, or all within an hour or spread on all the day. That's important when I didn't logged how many hours I worked for a customer and I have to assess it one week later. I have to click every single commit and check the timestamp on the other side of the screen.
The truth is that often nobody thinks too much of defaults, unless they are horribly wrong. So there are two good things about defaults: they're probably not horribly wrong and they don't require any additional work.

Some defaults are just historical curiosities, some defaults were configured 20 years ago and nobody took the crusade to update them, some might be bad, but changing them would break too much stuff in the wild.

Now I'm not suggesting that everyone should change everything. I almost never change defaults, myself. But I just don't agree than defaults are good. They're probably not bad, and that's about it.
1) It replaces intersection crashes with crashes approaching the intersection when people slam on the brakes because of a yellow. Net harm increases.

2) *Most* red light tickets are people turning right on red in a safe fashion.

The reality (at least in the US) is that cameras are only economic where there's a problem with the situation that causes reasonable behavior to be illegal.

>Steam to restart itself (so now without).

With all due respect, I'm struggling to parse this part of your comment.

With that said, I'm pretty sure your target is calling this API method:

https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/api/steam_api#SteamAPI_Re...

If you don't care about being authenticated with a "legit" session for online play, just strip SteamStub and apply a Steam emu with the necessary config. Those will obviously not care about wherever they are being launched from. I recommend the CODEX one if your target is not too recent.
Oh, banks are definitely concerned about PCs having root. There are even some banks that have removed their online banking websites entirely (except, perhaps, for corporate clients) and require customers to do everything through the Android app instead.
None of your conclusions are true. We can plan and predict just fine with it. It’s not fully deterministic, but still more predictable than people. And there are a lot of things we don’t understand but are fairly predictable, like the use of pain medications. They aren’t 100% predictable, but good enough to be able to administer as part of a well thought out regimen.

And given the fact that we can test it in a somewhat closed system gives us much more ability to predict its behavior than many things “in real life”.
Approximately two thirds of my time on the internet is spent without a mouse, so probably not.
Graphics drivers don't need to use code injection to load their DLLs. They're loaded by the process when it initializes the graphic context.

> Lennon's handwriting was almost as crappy as mine is.

I find the Beatles totally overrated and, quite frankly, a bit dull. I'm taking The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, The Doors and so many others any day over the Beatles.

To me the Beatles is pop music from the 60s / early 70s.

A policeman in France killed a teenager in cold blood and they set their city blocks on fire. Polticians are arguing over the presence (vaguely racist) of immigrants. There's a war in Ukraine flooding out Poland.

Have you looked for any remote opportunities?

I think many people care, but these same people have to work and feed their families. They have to care about climate change more than they care about those things for them to change.

Fixing Climate Change needs to be like the World War II Mobilization Effort. Nothing short of that will fix anything.

For example, I am currently homeless living in a minivan. I know my carbon footprint is way lower than most people. (Solar for my power, no heat, no ac, etc). But I would love to live in a tiny house close to town with solar. But no one will build them, and they can't even build them because of all the regulations.

And then you have people who would be against all this because they think their "freedom" is worth more than children's future.

So I am left being a positive nihilist. I know it will all fail but I act the way I do because it is the right thing to do.

Saw that someone already posted some of the data which is correct. When implemented correctly it’s complicated. Rear collisions tend to increase and a reductions in red light running.

Unfortunately there were a number of cases where the third party who implemented the system, reduced the yellow light to below the legal minimum.

I am a fan of this channel and he has good background on LA removing them.

> To sway European public opinion, however, the European Commission went even further. X’s Transparency Report shows that the European Commission also used ‘microtargeting’ to ensure that the ads did not appear to people who care about privacy (…) and eurosceptics

Independently of the broader privacy and surveillance topic, this is highly concerning: if institutions, like the EC, start to run agendas through and by carefully created echo chambers and keep certain segments of the demographic out of the loop, all is lost, as there is no common and public realm of political discourse anymore.
I think this is a bit of an unfair take.

In software development, a lot of new features are on by default. If Apple hid every new feature behind a on/off setting, no one would enable new features, ever.

I really love Mac’s new effect of clicking the desktop which moves all windows away to see your files underneath. Had that feature been added and off by default, there’s zero chance I would have ever enabled it.

Yes, I’ve had the reactions inadvertently appear in business calls recently, but it generally just results in amusement from everyone in the meeting. Although I suppose it would kind of suck to accidentally activate the laser show effect if I’m being interviewed on live TV. (Although anyone being interviewed like that should be prepped by the show to get all the settings right for broadcast)
