What? THIS marks that moment? I haven't seen google innovate since they built google search. Literally every other successful thing they have was bought.

Paper seems really thin on details on how the targets are initialized. It mentions a "foundation detector" and claims its better than YOLO results, but then routes that conversation to the Ultralytics library (which has implementations of YOLO and SAM).

Am I missing something here? Is it SAM? That would make sense , SAM is amazing and running SAM (fastSAM?) onboard a quadrotor is a great achievement.

I tend to thinkg that termination of all communication services for 2.2 million people under siege, including their ability to call emergency services, is kinda worthy of discussion.

But I guess netblocks gets hundreds of comments on this website only if some country blocks some US tech company's website specifically, and not just the whole internet:

I'm not 100% sure, but I know one benefit of content-addressed derivations is that they are secure by default. i.e. if the hash matches the build is trusted vs the traditional need to have separate "trusted signatures" and signing workflow to whitelist particular builders.
This would be great for car chases. Police cars in high speed chases too often lead to collateral damage and lots of people get away when police disengage as a matter of policy. A drone follower would be a great improvement.
Santenello is so great. I don't understand how he can just go up to randoms and start a conversation.

Same. And I support several of my favorite creators on Patreon and Ko-fi. And I try to watch their videos on Nebula. If I could find any of them on PeerTube I'd do that instead.

Unfortunately it feels like spitting into a hurricane. I can say I'm fighting the good fight, but am I making a difference? I doubt it, I doubt it very much.

I've still got a 3rd gen iPod I bought used that works great when plugged into power (needs a new battery).

While the effects of lead compound over a lifetime, the measured figure is blood lead levels, which will drop to zero if you stop consuming lead, with a half life of 28 days.

Therefore, the measurements made in 2023 mostly reflect lead actually consumed by humans in 2023.
I just assumed it was a joke about how they only started caring about quality in 2021.
... Right around the green revolution where we figured out that we can pour fertilizer and water on crops and they grow really well, which lead to high fructose corn syrup in everything and its sugar composition (high fructose) leads to obesity. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3522469/
It’s probably not your fault. It always annoyed me when old (20-30 years ago) Shell gas commercials would imply that high-octane (read: much higher profit margin) gasoline would cause your engine to make more power. Now, they didn’t actually say that outright, because it’s not true.[0] But if you put Shell gasoline in your car, you were told that you’d “feel the power your car is capable of”, or some weasely bullshit. The word “power” was used a lot in that commercial, just never next to the word “more”.

I was a professional mechanic around that time, and I had coworkers that thought that not only would high-octane gas give more power, would also swear it increased fuel mileage. Neither is true. High-octane fuel has less energy per gallon than lower octane fuel, it can’t give better mileage. (Now, “mechanic” != “engineer”, but c’mon, guys.)

[0] Yes, Captain Pedantic, I’m aware of knock sensors and computerized ignition timing. It was a quarter century ago.
yes I got the notice 2 weeks ago on FF with ublock origin, then last week the 3 video countdown, and now the full ban
I completely agree - having four Thunderbolt ports was amazing, and I'm sad that one of them has become a dedicated HDMI port. I like the SD card slot, though, but even then I'd rather have four Thunderbolt ports than three Thunderbolt, HDMI, and an SD card slot.
The sad part is that, progressives used to care about culture a lot and had great success in these endeavors. We could easily solved poverty if we became okay with forced cultural change. Of course this is a hard sell in modern America. But it wasn't even just a century ago and progressives were it's biggest proponents.

Hehe, nice comparison. But the iPod is not about having the BEST sound quality. It's more about being decent enough in every feature it has. Pretty sure iPods can't compete with the Hi-Res DAPs like Fiio M11 Plus, Astell&Kern, iBasso and others in terms of sound quality. But the user experience may still be better, depending on your personal taste.
Kinda yes and no.

The “no” part comes from understanding what’s happening. And what’s happening is that for every year you work there, the pay for the level you are at increases across all of them.

However, you wouldn’t be getting those increases (you would still get some, just not as significant). Talking about averages, it means that the person who got hired for the same level as you at the same company 3 years later would get paid noticeably more than you currently are (unless share prices skyrocketed, but we are talking about current compensation, not future or past; if shares tanked since you started, the new employee gets an even better deal).

Assuming no promotions or anything like that in the meantime (e.g., you are at your terminal level already or you just need more time for a promotion), you are SOL. It was almost comical at times. The mid-level dev i was working with was getting paid not that significantly more than me (an entry level dev at the time), and was only doing a little bit better mostly due to his old shares (or whatever was left of it, as he was diversifying heavily and selling the stock on vest and dumping it into etfs, so he missed out on his massive chest of old shares going 5x). He had been with the company for 6-7 years at that point. Every dev hired at his level at the time i was working with him would get paid about 50% more than him in total comp.

So yeah, the other employers would pay him more if he switched, but they aren’t “rewarding” him for job-hopping, it’s more like his current employer just not paying him as much as they would for a new hire at his level, because they are betting on the fact that he would just stay due to inertia or whatever other reasons. And guess what, they were right, as he is still there and the company saved a lot of money on him and others in a similar situation.

That’s where the good old boomerang trick of leaving, working for a bit elsewhere, and then coming back comes from. You get your salary “adjusted” twice, and then you come back.

Note: this usually only applies reliably up to senior level (aka the terminal level for the vast majority). Once you go higher or into management-type positions, things stop being this simple and work out rather differently.
Refurbished with new batteries. No matter what you think about "trends" - this is better than them ending up in landfill.
None of those ‘in the know’ have forecasted it, but I’m still hoping it is Apple rebooting their Wi-Fi hardware - I’m still running an old AirPort Time Capsule at home because it is so reliable and easy to use, but it is long in the tooth. I’d say the odds are not zero they are getting back in the Wi-Fi game!

You mean, YouTube has not paid you a cent for your attention.
It's a logical consequence of the "zero trust" network. If an engineer's workstation can make RPCs to production systems, and that engineer is properly entitled to assume some privileged role, then there's no difference between running the automation in prod and running it on your workstation. Even at huge scales, shell tools plus RPC client CLIs can contact every machine in the world pretty promptly.
In what way are you surprised? I am always surprised with how few words I actually wrote.

Before divestiture we had two groups splitting responsibility for IT, so our DevOps team (bleh) only had partial control of things. We were then running in heterogenous mode - one on prem data center and cloud services.

One day a production SAN went wonky, taking out our on prem data center. ... and also Atlassian with it. No Jira, no Confluence. Possibly no CI/CD as well. No carefully curated runbooks to recover. Just tribal knowledge.

People. Were. Furious. And rightfully so. The 'IT' team lost control of a bunch of things in that little incident. Who puts customer facing and infrastructure eggs into the same basket like that?

I'm not sure this is all that insightful. I don't think anyone is saying that if you force all your employees into the same physical space (or, you allow for remote work) you will instantly become infinitely successful.
Just let me pay for youtube premium without bundling a music streaming subscription please. $14 per month for no ads is not worth it when I already pay $11 per month for my preferred music streaming service.
Why does your mindset go to being "bullied", though? Aren't you the bully for circumventing their revenue model with the expectation that you should get it for free?
Is 1KB vs 2kB that much of a difference? Because with this system, you have to constantly update the included script tag, which for some organizations is not as easy as toggling a button in your tracking dashboard.
Easy to defeat with automatic target recognition and tracking. You only need to get in the general vicinity and let the drone figure it out, which is what I suspect new Lancet is doing.
You're right I have no idea how to solve this very large problem in society, I'm flattered that you expected me to. Though I'm not sure in reality I have the responsibility to know the answer to any large problems like this. I don't know much about anything really. I can still express the problem however.

I expect my representatives who I do vote for to know answers like this though and that's not unreasonable, its one of the basis of our current system in fact.

Their accessory vendors were just paying Apple for a license to connect to the iPhone. Switching to USB-C probably wouldn't piss them off so much as it would enable them to target a regular serial specification (and wider market).
In animation they called it “the thumb on the frame” for obvious reasons.
And not just browsers. I'm sure other clients exist. I'd be surprised if VLC doesn't already have an extension that allows you to play YouTube.

They'll have to interpolate the ads into the stream. Then people will code clients that detects the ads and black them and mute them. Then YouTube will learn how that works and will change their ads not to trigger detection. Etc. This is called an arms race.

As of 2021 Russia supplied 15% of China's oil and 6% of it's natural gas, and those pipelines are a) for gas, not oil, and b) increase from 38 Bcm to 88 Bcm, while total imports via pipe are 2,000 Bcm, which c) doesn't account for LNG imports via ship.

https://www.eia.gov/international/analysis/country/CHN

In other words, Russian pipelines supply very little of China's energy needs, and that's not going to change anytime soon. The only thing that could really change that is global warming enabling Russia to ship fossil fuels from its north coast to China.

Isn't it a little optimistic though to think that the AI itself will be free from advertising/grubby-monetization in the scheme of things? Sure, it feels great now, and maybe even you can pay for the GPU and run it on your own, but not everyone will, and either way the future is long! It just feels inevitable that somebody or something will come to collect one day, in one form or the other.

If during a staffing shortage a nurse said "I'm willing to work 30 hours a week, take it or leave it", I'm guessing the company would leave it. So much for negotiating in a free market. Quality of patient care would drop, but patient bills would not, nor would CEO pay.

Our free market is moving away from the proverbial town square full of food carts and merchants peddling their wares and haggling over prices. It's more like a bunch of tired people waiting in line for a single automated computer terminal.
Can't (realistically) be done. The specification for most airplane engines say "100LL" and the specification for 100LL is a composition specification (ASTM D 910), not a performance specification.

If your fuel meets ASTM D 910, it contains lead. If it doesn't contain lead, it doesn't meet ASTM D 910 and therefore definitionally isn't 100LL, so if your engine type certificate data sheet calls for 100LL, it unavoidably calls for lead.

If you are flying an aircraft that is thus-certified, flying it with a different fuel is, per the FAA definition in 14CFR3.5, flying an unairworthy airplane.

"Airworthy means the aircraft conforms to its type design and is in a condition for safe operation."

That's the legal reasoning that the Gami STC is required: to change the TCDS of the engine and airframe to permit a fuel other than 100LL and still be considered airworthy. (The STC process is totally workable and, IMO, doesn't need to be "fixed" and Gami has basically done the work you're asking to be done AFAICT.)

A character device load balancer that can do random or round-robin so I can replace /dev/random and /dev/urandom with a load balanced character device that feeds random numbers of bits from random random number generators in random amounts mostly as a matter of cargo-culting and so that encryption programs have no idea where their entropy is coming from.
