> Did you catch the part about "give the FCC more authority"?

The FCC ceded authority as a way to get around having to make a damning call not to assert net neutrality under the last administration. Unless I'm misreading, this is just a return to form.

It was fairly unknown outside of art buff circles until it was stolen in 1911 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mona_Lisa#Refuge,_theft,_and_v...

It's not a mysteriously unknown technique, or of particular historical importance, or the only painting by da Vinci. It become famous mostly because of the theft incident and once you're famous the famousness tends to feed itself because people do things like X-ray it which adds to the mystique. It was owned by some famous people including Napoleon and it's spent a lot of time in art museums being shown to the public, but there's no secret message on the back or alien decoder ring or demascus steel/roman concrete "how'd he do it?!" mystery.
What I’ve never understood is the argument that what California does regulating ISPs could actually affect the service plans in 49 other States.

Think about it: these are service plans offered through cables that already exist, and that cross defined borders right? But what all an ISP has to do to offer different service plans in California, Oregon, Nevada and Arizona is to merely offer different terms to different people based off the State they reside in. That’s just paperwork (and you know, delivering on the agreed upon service for the agreed upon price), not automobiles.

So I don’t really buy the argument that because California did a thing, ISPs couldn’t do all the supposed bad evil stuff they were going to immediately do once the FCC failed to “save the internet” anywhere else (although maybe other States also did the thing California did).
- No idea whats up with the QUIET_* variables as most of them dont seem to get used

- $(RM), $(CP), $(MKDIR) and $(ECHO) are unnecessary - these variables are for programs that are not portable. These 4 are some of the few portable ones.

- It only builds and installs a single executable (without extension), no library, no headers

- The install target does not honour DESTDIR, but distributors can get away with prepending it to PREFIX. For programs that use the PREFIX at build time, thats not okay.

Makefile portability is hard. Take this makefile and try to build on FreeBSD or cross-compiling for Windows (where executables have a suffix). Or cross-compiling in general.
I'm the other way around: these things actually move around on my desk, so if there's anything I want to cable-cut, it's those.

I feel like it is inevitable with this kind of attitude and Discord's other approaches that they are headed for a fairly ugly showdown.

If you look on Disboard and such, it is trivial to find sexually explicit Discords aimed at minors, and even more troubling, ones that are sexually explicit, allow minors, and adults ("age range: 14-28").

There's going to be a newsworthy incident, soon, I'm sure of it.
There is large overlap with julia, yes. Both are addressing two-language problem.

Mojo is python syntax first where they want to be proper superset, which gives them access to wide python ecosystem and community. If executed well, this alone can absorb community similarly to how ie. typescript absorbed javascript community. Also similar thing happened with objective-c -> swift - also led by Chris, which gives a lot of credibility to the whole initiative.

Julia is proper new language you need to learn, use new tooling around it, ecosystem is quite academia skewed, ie. writing web services is probably not the best idea etc.

Additionally Julia suffers from "time to first plot" problem, which alienates a lot of newcomers who are not familiar or simply don't want to switch to programming mode where it becomes less of a problem (repl/notebook style where runtime is always active).

Both are very interesting languages, but mojo's starting point and trajectory seem to be at different level, ie. adoption may be very sharp.
> So while Tesla is struggling to mass produce the cybertruck, China doesn't seem like it's having any issues mass producing EVs.

Aren't China produced Model 3/Y still very popular in China? See https://insideevs.com/news/685905/china-tesla-retail-sales-a....

Chinese build quality is getting better, but they still have "problems" producing cars, you just don't hear about them as much as Tesla these days. You'll still see a lot of foreign brands on the road (even if they are made in China due to tariffs). Those government officials aren't going to slum it and not get driven around in Black Audis.
yep, totally understand and agree it's a super vague notion, with super imprecise possible consequences.
The images generated are much more coherent and compliant with the instructions than Midjourney's.

However Midjourney's has more beautiful, artistic pictures. Their recent upscaler is also very good. Midjourney is also much better at capturing the "style" of an artist.

Both struggle with hands and "holding objects".

Please keep in mind that ads are messages that visitors never subscribed for. The only party that loses here is the advertiser, and I couldn't care less.

Wow what an honor! VB really got me of the ground (after a short endeavor with QBASIC) and I loved it! I have to say though that in terms of creating an UI it kind of messed me up: When later studying CS and was asked to create a UI based project in Java I really did not understand what was going on: All students in my team thought it was "normal" that you would hardcore not only the functionality of a button but also it's position, color etc. From VBA I was used to just drag and drop, press F5 and enjoy!
Same goes for debugging via terminal outputs...
Anyways, many thanks to you (and others) - VB really got me hooked
See the caveats and "not implemented" notes all over that solution. Many of them. Including basically mandatory ones (I don't know that their 1116 form is usable by anyone.) But yes, that one is progress. Although maybe not "years and years".
I felt the same way about wireless mice for a LONG time, but technology has improved significantly.

With 2.4Ghz instead of blutooth, the reliability and latency problems are gone. Wireless mice, at the high end, have no more latency than a wired mouse. No issues with reliability in my years of owning them.

The battery also lasts a week or two, with some clever software tuning so it runs at a lower polling rate when not playing games. It charges in an hour or two.

Once you've experienced a proper wireless mouse, going back is impossible. They're so freeing. You can move in any direction and amount with NO resistance. Never fight the cable again. It's the way mice were meant to be.

Wireless keyboards are a bit more dubious. In theory they can have way better battery life due to the size, but in practice most still use crappy bluetooth so they have shit polling rates. I wish I could have it though, because it's more clutter on my desk and constantly gets in the way. I move my board around a lot to put down notepads, eat, etc.

EDIT: To be clear, my battery life is a result of using an ultralight mouse with a small internal battery, for game reasons. If you want one with AAA/AA, you'll likely get months out of it no problem.
Upvoted, good comment.

IDK if I view them as "threats to the world order"; they are both thriving as a result of international trade, so it's not like they are going to dismantle the system, right? If others with more knowledge want to chime in that'd be great, I'm no expert.

> Furthermore, both nationalisms seem to be turned inward, rather than outward. Despite media narrative, neither China nor India are particularly expansionist, the populism that is there looks like an attempt to ward off the future threat of fragmentation rather than acquiring new territory

Speaking at least of China, this seems to be plainly untrue, though, right? a) It seems to have taken over formerly independent Hong Kong; b) has designs on Taiwan; c) the Belt and Road initiative is clearly about it wielding international power.

you can get around bing with a few tricks:

put "(very safe content)" at the end, if that doesn't works sometimes adding a few more modifiers like that

put "(no copyright or famous people)"

also if you are hitting a banned word just throw a period inside it, for example instead of "drake" just put "d.rake"

you can get it to generate fairly spicy things but it still sometimes takes a few tries and a few more words of encouragement.

My son used it and now likes (and works in) Java.

My gf’s two kids were introduced to programming with Scratch. One was utterly frustrated and gave up on it after the course. The other liked the idea of programming and is now taking a Java based class in school.

There’s some hope that the last kid won’t like Java and may be willing to switch to something better, else it’s 0/3 in my opinion.

Chinese cities like Beijing have quotas on how many cars Beijingers can buy/drive. The quota is more open to EVs, so you'll see a lot of Beijingers buying EVs because they simply can't win the lottery to buy an ICE (and don't want to wait to do so). Many cities have similar regulations as Beijing, so its not really a "cultural preference" as much as it is "I need a car, and EV is the only one I can get now."

I don't know why anyone would be surprised at this turn of events. It's been pretty obvious all along that it was only a matter of time before OpenAI started productizing, so unless your startup is serving a very specific niche that you know inside and out, it's hard to see how anyone could justify starting a business whose value proposition is "combine these two ready-made OpenAI APIs".

It'll definitely be faster (less latency for a single matmul) than numpy since you're using all the cores (and from the throughput measurements, fairly efficiently). Better algorithms (like Strassens) don't take over till the sizes involved are much greater than this benchmark is doing.

In a single-threaded comparison to numpy (or just measuring total throughput -- many applications have lots of slightly smaller matmuls they can do which make it trivially to parallelize without having to parallelize each matmul, and throughput increases slightly when you do so) though, the details start to matter. Numpy is bad with small dimensions (hasn't optimized for them at all really, and overhead moving data from a Python context to a Numpy context starts to dominate), and performance can vary 10-50x just based on whether you've set up an optimized BLAS library for it to link to or not. Mojo side-steps some of that because it provides the fast primitives you need in the language itself and doesn't present the opportunity to execute more slowly. Single-core Mojo shouldn't be meaningfully faster than a properly installed single-core Numpy on large matmuls, and the given implementation should be meaningfully slower on large enough problems.

I don't really care for the benchmark though. It's potentially okay at showing how easy it can be to write fast code, but it comes across as being presented to show how much faster mojo is than Python. That latter is misleading for at least a couple reasons:

- By some magic, my $300 old dev laptop (swift 3) is 6x faster than their brand new m2 pro max with a vanilla Python triple for loop. Is Mojo adding some overhead as it runs that benchmark? Is something wrong with their Python installation?

- Many of the optimizations they applied in Mojo apply just as well in vanilla Python. Tiling, parallelization, ... Some of those have a higher ratio of improvement in Python than Mojo (depending on some fiddly GC details) because their purpose is to cut back on cache/page/... misses enough to make the problem compute-bound rather than IO-bound, and the Python representation takes enough extra space that the benefits accumulate faster. The serialization overhead for stdlib parallelization is dwarfed by the matmul cost, so it doesn't wind up mattering much that you have slow copies all over the place, and you really do find yourself bound by the interpreters rate of interpreting.

Like, it's still faster than Vanilla Python by a lot, and it's neat that the code is so easy to write, but 90k isn't the speedup I'd headline with.

To be fair, I think their point is just that you can write fast code easily in Mojo, and matmul is something easy to understand, so it makes a good case study. The optimization primitives are fairly intuitive, so presumably you should be able to apply the same naive approach (code it, slap on optimization primitives) and get decent speedups in less well studied domains.
Yup. I have an Audi and a Lincoln. The Lincoln dealership will for scheduled services and the two minor recalls it has had, will not just give me a loaner, but drive it to me, take my car, and then bring it back to me when done (and I live thirty miles from the dealership).

Not sure whether it's because of my location, or that it's my third Audi, or the one I have is a higher end model, but that dealership always makes sure I have a loaner, too, and it's usually a demo model, higher end, and looks immaculate - I've heard stories of people getting filthy and beat up Tesla Model 3s for their loaner, if they're not just given Uber credits or a shrug.

I think what's throwing me off is that the examples aren't just transparent things like debug/tracing. They mention credentials and user ids, which the app code can observe and rely on.

The combination of out-of-band/out-of-schema data with APIs to set and get from app code seems like a bad match.

I'd prefer if it was completely invisible to app code and existed only in interceptors.
