> But homeschooling is a pretty major reaction to that, and it shouldn't be done without serious consideration for the non-zero chance that your kids will resent you for that decision.

As a parent of two daughters who are homeschooled - unschooled, actually - I 100% agree.

As with everything, our approach is intentional and we're open with our kids about it. If they wanted to go to a school - public, private, or religious - we would make that happen.

Our eldest is currently taking three hours per day at the local public high school. She's 15, wants to own a equine stud farm, and is taking every agriculture class she can find. After this year she will have exhausted their offerings in that subject, so she'll likely start at the local community college in the fall.
I believe it could be designed in a way to accommodate both user groups. I don't mind another app but they've always been paid (while writing this I checked and turns out Blackmagic camera is free, awesome!)
Not if it meant there are none when they do need a replacement.

Similarly, buying cheap used cars only works because someone else bought them new.
We shouldn’t do consumer protections because then businesses who ignore consumer protections might not do business

Isn’t quite the argument you think it is.
Eventually yes, but it seems we're putting the cart before the horse.

I really hope it goes well and we end up accelerating things with another space race, this is the best outcome and maybe this is why we're shooting for manned Mars missions... but it's risky. A crew of dead astronauts on Mars could have the opposite effect. Imagine if Nixon really had to deliver that failure message about the moon landing, space exploration could be even worse off than it is now.
Open source LLMs are catching up with OpenAI. They are also considerably cheaper in the long run. We took a look at how they performed in terms of accuracy vs. OpenAI in an NL-to-SQL workload.

tldr -> For zero-shot prompting, the closed source LLMs are still far ahead in terms of generating accurate SQL. However the gap is closing. With the right dataset for fine-tuning the open-source LLMs might be able to perform at the same level.
I really wish people would stop using Medium. A problem I've been running into over the last few months is that an increasing number of potentially informative articles are hidden behind a Medium sign-in wall.

* Edit

As commenters mentioned this is on substack. My apologies.

I still stand by my original statement though. The sign-in walls are a problem.

Ironically when I go back to visit the substack link on the parent, there's no longer a sign in requirement.
> And one easily disproven by the following of one Donald T.

That is not so. Donald Trump followers are not a static set. DT does lose and gain followers.

What might be true that some persona, no matter how disagreeable, will always have some followers.

Convicted criminals get love letters from strange women and all that.

If this artist continues in that way, most of his followers will come to consist only of people who are attracted by his obnoxious personality, without any connection to the works he creates. In the eyes of the world at large, he will just be that kitch-producing wanker with the idiot followers.
That's what you need to do. Most people think streaks are unlikely, which biases people to void even small streaks. The algorithm expects that, so to fool the algorithm initially, you need to tilt towards streaks, and then when begins to pick up on that, tilt away.
H.264's most likely successor was HEVC. While Google and Mozilla strongly prefer VP8/VP9, most video content distributors are okay with paying the license fee for H.264. One patent pool, one license fee. HEVC's patent pool fragmented. So even after you pay one fee there might be another one or even worse patent trolling litigation. So non-broadcast companies are adopting av1 to avoid using HEVC when possible.
It's me, I'm untrained people.

Is there a decent convention for how much a screw should be tightened, or is it fully case-by-case?

I think the first three items are pretty reasonable, but the fourth seems to require some malicious intent. Why would an AI want to destroy its creators? Surely it if was intelligent enough do so, it would also be intelligent enough to recognize the benefits of a symbiotic relationship with humans.

I could see it becoming greedy for information though, and using unscrupulous means of obtaining more.
Is there no explanation as to why they removed support and added it as a MS Store bundle? Seems really strange.
C is crap that only exists because it has always existed. Why would you want to reboot the world on C? And why java as the only alternative rather than something more different?

Grats on the launch!
If I may, comparing fanfiction to original work is apples to oranges.

When writing harry potter, Rowling had to craft a world with characters and rules, make it coherent enough and tread a compelling story through it. She made the legos and then crafted something with them.

This guy came to her crafted world, and moved around a few bits, changed a character here, change a few rules there - but the backbone of the work was made before.

It's just not the same ballpark
> If the answer is yes, then the feat is still an important one.

I can recommend watching the Better Call Saul DVD documentary, they regularly have the lead lighting guy answering questions in there. The tl;dr was to me that yes, you definetely need additional lighting, even if your camera has a massive, light sensitive sensor.

I don't think anyone expects an iPhone to compete with a top of the line Arri 65 or other IMAX enabled cameras when it comes to low light performance (the sensor on these is huge after all), but the intro shot with Apple Park shows that it's possible.

Maybe don't try to reenact a shooting of Barry Lyndon on an iPhone, but for nearly everything else it seems to work just fine.
The point that I think you are missing is that I don't want to work in an office if I can avoid it, and it's not because the office or company is evil. I just choose not to do that if I have that choice; I have worked in offices in cities around me for 20 years. I am making different choices, today there's no shortage of work without in-person. I have been looking for a new job and every company with rto has kind of defensive recruiters, please tell us before you go ahead with an interview loop if you won't rto. I almost feel sorry for them. If you paid me lots more than wfh I might consider them, but that's not what they are doing.

I was talking with one of the top 3 cloud provider companies. They said you must rto but everyone you'd be working with is in another city 1000 miles away. You can work in any of our 3 local offices because you'll just be in online meetings with them, it doesn't matter because there's no one to work with here. That's the crazyness and endless complaints about some RTO. It's great that you respect your workers, that is appreciated and not universal.
Why “boo, hiss” next to Eich’s name? He’s had massive influence on the web as the creator of JS (which I’m not actually fond of for its dynamic typing), and as the once-head of Mozilla.
AV1 was supposed to be the patent and royalty free contender?
If 75% have diabetes (or don't have diabetes -- either way), then 75% accuracy is also the accuracy of a naive coin flip.

That is to say, don't compare to the accuracy of an even coin flip; compare to the accuracy of a coin flip that flips according to the proportion of the people with the attribute you care about.
Yes, totally agree, which is why I'm waffling over the upgrade. From 1TB to 2TB is $500 CAD extra. It is just so insanely out of line with the actual cost of the memory. I'm looking at Amazon NVMe SSD and a decent looking 2TB drive is in the range of $150 CAD! I don't care how high quality whatever it is they are using is ... that is ridiculous markup. And since everything is soldered nowadays it isn't practical to buy and install oneself.

My current HD is 500 GB and I have ~140 GB free. But I've also turned up the iCloud offloading feature, stored larger media files like videos on an external SSD and a few times gone through folders removing files to clean up space.

I suppose if I want to play around with ML models then I should just bite the bullet and get more space. Fair play to Apple knowing how to squeeze every last cent out of their wannabe pro users.
Somewhere with real time pricing. The cheapest normal pricing is down around 12-13 cents per kWh. Granted due to the enormous nuclear base load in Chicago, I routinely pay 1-2 cents per kWh. I paid zero cents at 4am.
Essentially all countries do this, regulating trade is a very basic governmental function.
Aren't these things supposed to have cores dedicated to ml?
It's not a fact, and it's not supported by any evidence, you (and the journalists) are confusing security crackdown (due to terrorism) with genocide

Ok, I am buying your house from your neighbor then.
> The article starts with "everything is FACT"

No, it doesn't. That phrase occurs nowhere in the article.
I don't think that's quite fair. Each organization, especially ones that possess sensitive customer data, have a custodial duty to secure that data. Most of these attacks are very preventable by following well documented best practices and industry recommendations.

I think that "I wish my health provider paid the ransom" and "Health organizations should be responsible for protecting my data" are completely compatible views to hold.
I think you would prefer something like a support vector machine over k-nn for better learned point-wise local rescaling (you could also use eg ISOMAP or MDS to try to linearize the manifold), which you could also use w various tda methods (see the giotto-tda github repo jupyter notebooks for some similar examples)
Even a 30 minute commute is ~240 hours a year of miserably wasted time that we give for free to employers (generously, if we ignore the actual chair-to-chair time). When you consider how the nature of our society highly optimizes for filling time, even one hour a day becomes a sacrifice - because that hour is not coming out of your work time, or your sleep time, or your cooking time, or your chores/responsibilities time - it is coming out of your life, and your family's life.

On top of that, no matter how much you improve the major cities, there will always be tons of people not working somewhere with a public transportation line to work.
Nice to see this pop up again. Grug life!!
This software design principle is conspicuously absent at this point in time. Sure, Agile is important, and Agile processes do generate good products. But those processes have also come to introduce a cyclic development model, that's permeated back into the tools, and larger tool developers (like, those in the React / NodeJS class in terms of user base size) have abused this good intent.

Software can still be developed iteratively. That's not the problem. With CMake, for example, I don't 'fear' upgrades, because that team values the idea of 'finished' software. As does Microsoft.

On the other hand, the NPM and Apple dev teams do not cherish this idea. And in turn, both their user and developer communities suffer in the long run.

That's how I've come to see it recently.
I was hoping we could keep our zealousness to tabs vs spaces, 2 vs 3 vs 4 vs 8 indentation levels, etc.
Strong agree. I use my country’s ccTLD as my primary domain, and my domain was stuck in limbo for 6 years where I could not move registrars because the Registry decided to do a hostile takeover of all domains managed by a specific registrar. The lawsuit and arbitration took 4-5 years, and the registry had to apologise in the end.

But that limbo was quite scary to deal with, not being able to change my nameserver or renew the domain.

Hi Ken, thanks for another excellent article! I just wanted to add that I recently bought an Intel EtherExpress 8/16 for my 486 PC and it uses this chip. So although the chip may be obscure, it still finds its way into the hands of new users even today. :)

The fact that I just got this card and had to search around the net for drivers and documentation, and now your die photos are available - I'm just amazed. What a cool chip and card.
At the moment I'm in the situation where having AI tools means I'm willing to try things I've never tried before; including having actually considered hiring artists for the first time ever.

Sadly, I think most artists would bite my head off right this minute? So I guess I'm going to have to wait until the storm blows over.
They should do it the other way round: employer has to reimburse you for your commute and pay commute time as work time. Guess how quickly companies will put pressure on legislation to solve the housing problem.
The line is kinda blurry when the land houses people who have no representation in the sale. Sure, you don't own the people, but you now own their land.
Some indigenous people believe land acknowledgements are a good 1st step. Some believe they are a waste of time. But the 2nd group don't claim the 1st group don't exist.

Voluntary land tax programs exist.[1] They seem to benefit from land acknowledgements.

"To look for" is a very vague and imprecise definition because that's not how you actually write or test your software. You don't look for UBs. It doesn't change the fact that you still have to hunt for bugs using ASAN, UBSAN, TSAN or MSAN _runtime_ sanitizers. This false dichotomy is following Rust since ever.
> A law like this is essentially there just to further incentivize the return to office policies that we've all been reading about. Now there will be an additional cost associated with going remote.

Not an additional cost, just fewer savings for companies. I'm guessing that even having to reimburse employees for internet/power they're still saving a ton of money on those things (my last office was lit up everywhere 24/7), plus not needing to rent the office space, keep food and coffee available for employees, keep bathrooms stocked up, etc.
You still can't use a second external monitor if you close the laptop screen on a base M1/M2/M3. So that's why they're asking how is it relevant here.
destroying a satelite would be equal to nuclear war. The shrowd of debris that would enter into orbit would put all space assets in danger and would put civilization at risk.

Youtubers get paid way more for custom in-video ads than they do for the automated ads that Youtube runs before and throughout their videos. If what you said was true then content creators wouldn't be going through the work getting these sponsors and sponsors wouldn't be bothering with the hassle of working with individual content creators.
> Traditional balsamic vinegar is so expensive that it is served by the drop. A mere 100ml bottle can be priced starting at €125.

> Balsamic vinegar that is not labelled "tradizionale" (traditional) is a blend of wine vinegar and grape must, made from grapes with no particular provenance and aged in wooden or steel barrels for just a few months.

> According to food historian Maureen Fant, "The lesser categories of balsamic vinegar can be used in cooking, but people should learn to read labels. The tradizionale has one ingredient – simply mosto cotto, while all the other kinds are either a mix of vinegar and mosto, down to the ones that are just made with vinegar, coloured and flavoured for an air of verisimilitude."

So I've been eating imitation balsamic all my life? I wonder if I've ever even tasted real balsamic before. I would love to do a taste test and see which one I prefer.

I googled "traditional balsamic vinegar Modena DOP" and the cheapest 100ml I found was €55 (US$58). Next cheapest I saw was US$79, and then it was up into the 100s from there (I didn't go past first page of results).

You can be skeptical of it like the Verge or impressed by it like some in these comments, but either way it's good that Apple is showing you exactly what that means in practice.

The transparency here is welcome and both Google and Apple should do something similar when it comes to the photographs they show off when rolling out new phones. They shouldn't show a photo in those keynotes without also showing exactly what it took to get those photos out of those phones.
It's not like real users aren't hitting loading times in those higher percentiles. They really should be showing p100.
We've looking into this, as deeply as we can as "outsiders". We homeschool, but are firmly "middle class" from a national perspective and easily in the top 1% income in our county.

Regardless of income, the key factor seems to be the rationale. If parents want to homeschool because they're involved with their kids' lives and want them to succeed, they'll do well relative to the available public school options.

Umm, no. A well-known sales technique is inflating your own demand. There's no way to know whether she's telling the truth or doing that.
While for Americans, that is a comfortable middle distance for a family vacation. My family used to drive that far two or three times a year to visit family in Florida when I was a child.

This highlights why range anxiety is a much bigger issue for Americans than Europeans. That, combined with the considerably higher fuel prices, are why EVs do so much better in Europe than they do here in the USA.

I really liked the idea of a generator that could go in the truck bed for the F-150 Lightning. You could convert your car from EV to gas powered for those 2-3 times a year that you need to, while still charging at home and getting the benefits of an EV the rest of the time. You could even rent or borrow the device from dealerships. Alas it seems like this early concept will not be included in the final vehicle.
So all your employees have willingly returned to office without you having to tell them to? If so, why do you care about what other people think? If you had to drag people back in to the office, under threat of penalty stated or otherwise, then it was about control.

Much of your energy bill is distribution costs, which is a combinational of infrastructure costs and transmission losses.

Transmission losses will be small anywhere in the UK (because it's tiny), but infrastructure costs will vary a lot based on population density.

It's cheaper to erect a few large transmission lines to London than it is to distribute power around the less dense North.

With laptops having taken over computing aside from a small sliver of professionals and enthusiasts and browsers being one of the most consistently used categories of software, one would think that energy efficiency would be a bigger priority for browser devs… I mean who likes their laptop’s fans screaming and finite battery cycles being torn through?

It’s rarely ever mentioned though and not something that significant gains are regularly made in, which is a bit strange to me. Browsers across the board have crossed the threshold of diminishing returns when it comes to speed, I’d personally rather they shift focus towards battery friendliness.
The Soviet Union built schools in every village instead (even if it meant a school for just two students), and built villages around "advanced" schools where the interested students could relocate, thus making such buses mostly unnecessary.
I didn't say or act like Utah is a utopia. You invented that. Only that I don't have to pay to use bathrooms. I have my own complaints with this place too. We're gradually getting overtaken by the very things I laugh at California for. Funnily enough, a large contributor to the problem is Californians fleeing the consequences of their decisions. I can hardly afford to live in my home state, but the unaware affluent wine-sipping Californians sure can. But I definitely am much happier here than most other places in the US for the time being.
