Really the underlying news here, which the article doesn't really treat with, is that TSMC's 3nm node is sort of a bust. It's not looking like a full node upgrade at all (something that's been reasonably clear for a few months based on the leaked pitch/density numbers). They still have a comfortable lead over Intel, but scaling limitations come for us all eventually.
Tetris and many Sim games come to mind.
> But their own numbers show that people regain the weight after they start eating other foods again: "On average, people gained back most of the weight they lost."[2]

Every single diet suffers from that, because you don't need a diet, you need a life style and as the name implies it, it has to be sustained for your whole life
It's neither free nor performant.

The developer experience is lacking vs. other vector database providers and the performance doesn't match those that prioritize performance rather than devex. You're also spending time writing plumbing around postgres that isn't really transferrable work.

For some people already in the ecosystem it will make sense.

Yeah I would phrase it as "clickbait article about engagement bait tweet". Point stands.
The problem is I'd have no trouble finding 1000 RSS feeds in which case it is $100 a month instead of $10. As you say, it wouldn't be so bad if it went to the owners but it doesn't as there isn't really any mechanism in place to do that, but maybe an aggregated feed built to do that from the beginning would be a practical way to do that.
> Regus has way too much bureaucracy

To say the least. I recently signed up for an office at a Regus location with the explicit purpose to incorporate a company there. All went well until a few weeks later when I went there to pick up post for the company and was told I was not allowed to do so until I had submitted a particular document. Only problem is that this document can only be sent to the registered company address by post. The woman in the reception literally had the document they needed in an envelope behind her desk but could not give it to me until I had submitted that same document. Zero understanding or willingness to escalate the issue to make an exception, just hiding behind "process".

In the end I managed to get in touch with someone else in the organization who realized how ridiculous the situation was and convinced them to make an exception so I could hand in the document but I'm not impressed at all by the company, to say the least.
I'll always defend your right to say whatever you want but that never implies it's valid.
Euclid telescope's first images reveal new cosmic details
Launched by the European Space Agency in July, the Euclid telescope’s initial release includes five observations made from its orbital home 1 million miles (1.5 million kilometers) away from Earth, including views of a stellar nursery and massive clusters of galaxies and stars.
It was a deliberate choice to differentiate between Pro and Max

There's a 45% performance uplift between M2 Max and M3 Max in benchmarks.

You still get more performance between M2 Pro and M3 Pro. And you get significantly more if you're upgrading from M1 Pro.
Yeah, there's a reason we call it NATOpedia.

> Essentially, both liberals and conservatives can agree that... if the United States entered into a treaty...

I think it would be more accurate to say that liberals and Gorsuch, who is uncharacteristically liberal on native american issues, can agree. Gorsuch's footnotes do a good job imo of making clear that the four conservative dissenting votes have very little respect for the treaties and promises made.
The ISP can still be required to keep a record all the NAT decisions.

(I emphasize again, that I don't know where I stand on the issue. But for the sake of argument...) Well, I think my argument is that the mark is not invisible or undetectable. Simply by nature of being human, we impart something of ourselves onto things we create. For example, maybe by how you choose to compose the objects within a work, in a way the artist whose style you are mimicking would not have done, or the context in which you present it. Or maybe in how you hold the tools, where it creates an unintentional but different effect in the work. Whereas with an AI model, it will always create the same output for the given inputs.
After decades lost, Star Trek's original Enterprise model may have been found
Nothing is analogous to making an ML model because making an ML model and training it are fundamentally different processes than both copying something (which is what copyright is built on which is why it probably isn't going to work to handle these issues) and from a person learning, because the most brilliant person on the planet cannot in timely matter digest and learn from over five thousand images and then reliably reproduce works based upon them.

This an entirely new schema and the endless slap fights between people trying to say "well the computer is just learning like a person does" is just, bafflingly, wildly wrong headed. No it's not. A person learns so they can accomplish a goal, and an ML algorithm by it's nature wants nothing, it is incapable of want, versus the people who are saying "well ML lets people copy other people" which is also wrong headed, because it isn't copies, it's remixes and re-imaginings of similar material are just not productive. On the one side people trivialize the act of learning how to art being just looking at shit and reproducing it, which is just wrong, completely wrong, and on the other side people think it lets the ML model copy artists, which it dooooooes, kind of? But that test also fails because they aren't strict copies and them being copies isn't the goddamn problem. The problem is the style, the vibe, the unique look of a given creative is trivialized into something you can get from stable diffusion after a few tries with the right prompt. This isn't a problem because Sarah Anderson lost a sale or whatever the fuck. It's a problem because it completely undermines the notion of the output of paid creatives having value, which is already a shaky proposition for most people and why tons and tons of prominent creatives cannot earn a living via their creations. This is going to make that situation even worse and no matter how many times this is explained to people, they just run back to this "well I wasn't going to buy things from them anyway" and the entire thing makes me want to fucking scream.

All that to say: AI is not AI, it's ML. ML is not learning like a person does, it's fundamentally different, stop equivocating. If you're so determined to cheer on as silicon valley knocks already struggling creative professions down a hill with systems that COULD NOT POSSIBLY EXIST without their pre-existing output to exploit, without permission, fundamentally unethically, if you just don't give a shit about that and are going to gleefully cheer that process on, then all I really ask is you be honest about that. Just say "I know this is fundamentally corrosive, unethical, and undermines an entire segment of the economy, but now I can get as many over-tuned generic shitty pieces of art as I want, and that's just more important to me." Just say it, and stand by it.
The parent did not mention anarchy. Abolishing the concept of citizenship is not exclusive to having a functioning government.
Seems to be based on the perspective that the focus is indeed on absolute performance gains rather than performance per power draw.

Based on the range of devices the M chips will be used for both immediately and in future it's not at all obvious that should be true. Think about the vision pro. Name of the game there is workable performance / battery tradeoff, not maxing out raw performance.

Same is true for most users of macbooks frankly, including (lots of) engineers using pros.

It wouldn't be surprising to me that an acceptable outcome of the shift to the new node was maintaining performance of M2 with gains in battery life. More performance will inevitably come with M4 etc anyway.
This is the classic HAL vs the Star Trek "computer" question.

I think initially things like Alexa, Siri and Google Home were so much verbose and personality based and now just barely speak and don't do any fun personality stuff, outside of kid-centric features like "guess the animal game", bedtime stories, etc. I think people are just too busy or in a hurry to deal with personality from technology. In fact, Cortana has entirely been cancelled and replaced with a faceless and nameless Bing Enterprise Chat.

Another case is how stoic and boring and lifeless ChatGPT is compared to some of these more personality based AIs out there. People just want the facts and not to be bothered. They actually don't want a virtual friend. Things like MS Bob, Cortana, and various avatars and personality-based agents keep failing compared to simple and fast interfaces. I think that'll probably stick with robotics too. I think the Star Trek "computer" will win out every time. People just want to feel empowered and have a minimal of their time and effort spent.
I can agree with this. I do think automated decision making amplifies the effect, but you are right on the fundamental issue
Low performance gains for a mid-level chip are totally a good thing if it's significantly more efficient. (I haven't seen any numbers for M3 Pro yet, but here's hoping.)
Everyone I know is in a similar situation. The tech sector saw thousands of layoffs and a decrease in free money. You're competing against hordes of ex FAANG-ers for limited opportunities during a market downturn.

Half my office was laid off and anecdotally, everyone I know is having trouble finding work.

Hang in there :(

Now might be the time to reach out to your old networks and see if any of them are unofficially hiring. I sent out dozens of applications too and didn't hear back, but reached out to an old contact and they hired me on the spot.
I guess a great big modal box with a 3d render of a box of cards showing one with a clear image of what they will get, and a big “I approve this, send to print device now” button may help?
Diets seriously need to be considered through the lens of Occam's razor.

First, radical dietary changes cause rapid fluctuations in weight regularly. Not fat, weight.

Second, if you eat only one thing or are generally restrictive... You will probably lose a lot of appetite.

It's no good going off on some theory about pottasium. Occam's razor suggests that this also works for the been soup diet, fruit diet, etc.

It is, potentially, useful to do these kinds of things as an isolation diet (gradually add back foods and pay attention to effects). It's also useful to just break bad habits by doing weird stuff sometimes.

I'm Irish. I love potatoes. They do not have magic dietary powers. The potato doesn't explain anything. You can get similar results with toast, bacon or bananas. The results do not mean anything specific for longer term fat loss, health, etc.

It just proves that bodyweight fluctuates in response to radical diet change. That is known.

Same for a lot of the "water tricks" that thankfully have started to die down. They use bodybuilder tricks to eventually dehydrate themselves for a perfect look on stage day. It's sold as a weight loss trick.
My experience hasn't been that my Alexa or that Siri tries to control me. I use it to set timers and play music and that's about it.

On the generative AI front, OpenAI/Microsoft doesn't control me either. I use it as a coding assistant instead of searching StackOverflow, or when I want to brainstorm lists of other ways of writing the same thing when I don't like what I've written and am not sure the best way to improve it.

Could just be you're approaching the tools wrong? But I can't imagine what you're doing where they're controlling you.
Of note: another ballot question would restore Maine's constitution to using spaces.
> The M2 was launched in June 2022, but the Pro and Max launched in January 2023. They're not even a year old and have already been relegated to the trash heap of silicon history. It stands to reason the M2 chips didn't sell very well, so Apple wanted to get the M3 out ASAP to reverse that trend.

That theory would make a lot more sense if the M3 was providing a big performance boost.

Instead buyers of the M3 Pro get 25% less memory bandwidth than the M2 Pro, and two of the performance cores swapped for efficiency cores. Not much to reinvigorate sales by motivating M2 Pro users to upgrade other than a higher number.

Just run SponsorBlock or similar then. If you still want to support creators, you can tune the plugin to only skip filler, or as I do, just prompt with a Skip button and I can choose to jump as needed.
For Blender it’s more the other direction: they’re moving to the way of working of other tool. Before this change (2.8 ?), it was a pain for someone used to navigate any of the big player to drop into Blender.

The fact that Autodesk has since bought nearly every big package (notable exception: SideFX Houdini, Maxon Cinema4D and the Foundry Modo) helped a lot. They’re not exactly well loved, be it in special effects, architecture or CAD (though for CAD they’re all bad at the end of the day)

I like that Blender is a credible option. I would have loved to have this kind of option when I was younger - way simpler than finding Maya, 3Ds or other big package… with, erhmm, free licence let’s say.
So how is it preserved now? By word of mouth?

It's a little unclear quite what it means for a work to be protected if you don't actually have any recourse when infringement occurs.
Just a bit: it's not emulation but compatibility. Proton (and Wine) implement and/or translate calls made by Windows programs without requiring any virtualization or emulation. In some ways it's closer to an open-source implementation of Windows and its runtime.

After all, Wine (on which Proton is layered atop) stands for "Wine is not emulation."
Its unclear to me if the 1106 is the same as the turbo model.
Only up to the point where it costs more to prevent than you save.
>The paper itself describes the possibility that aspects of the online learning ability (the ability to integrate new data as it is received without the costly requirement of retraining) could be implemented in a fully analog system through a cross-point array of resistors, instead of applying a digitally-bound algorithm. So both theoretical and materials design space still covers a number of potential, future exploration venues.

That is very cool. Feels like a nuevo tape drive for neural networks.

> I’ve asked the search engine to name it. “What is an African country beginning with K?” In response, the site has produced a “featured snippet” answer - one of those chunks of text that you can read directly on the results page, without navigating to another website. It begins like so: “While there are 54 recognized countries in Africa, none of them begin with the letter ‘K.’” // This is wrong. The text continues: “The closest is Kenya, which starts with a ‘K’ sound, but is actually spelled with a ‘K’ sound. It’s always interesting to learn new trivia facts like this.”

> Given how nonsensical this response is, you might not be surprised to hear that the snippet was originally written by ChatGPT. But you may be surprised by how it became a featured answer on the internet’s preeminent knowledge base. The search engine is pulling this blurb from a user post on Hacker News ... itself quoting from a website called Emergent Mind, which exists to teach people about AI - including its flaws. At some point, Google’s crawlers scraped the text, and now its algorithm automatically presents the chatbot’s nonsense answer as fact, with a link to the Hacker News discussion

So "intelligent thought", which is "having checked your notions", was implemented as "scraping utterances made" without any expected consistency check.
>And a good counter to that is that a translation of a book into another language is still considered a derivation of the original work, not its own work, despite requiring a whole lot of creative human input on the part of the translator.

At the end of the day, it's all about legislation and case law--and judges making calls on the borderline cases, which creates new case law. It even plays into whether models themselves are copyrightable which, in turn, depends partly upon whether certain doctrines (like "sweat of the brow") apply under current copyright regime.
Opensource ones are Jenkins/Jenkins X, Drone, Travis-CI, Argo, GitLab CI, Dager, etc

Oh damn, I didn’t think about the cinnamon for some reason. It DOES make sense, we’ve all probably been reading stuff about spice contamination/adulteration, but I didn’t connect the dots.

The spice adulteration I (and probably other HN readers) am familiar with is turmeric, but there’s an obvious motive - make the spice more yellow. Was the cinnamon adulterated deliberately? If so, why? Color, like turmeric? Some trick to make harvesting easier (I know that cinnamon is one of those tricky spices, since you need to shave off curls of bark)? To make worse grade cinnamon seem like higher grade?
Getting set up a dev environment for me was painless, with ElixirLS being a big exception. For me the wrong version of erlang/OTP was causing crashes that weren't getting surfaced well. Fortunately I have enough Elixir experience that once I got the error message surfaced I was able to figure it out pretty readily, but yeah that experience can definitely be improved.
>>I'm not sure what the right solutions are

Giving the federal government the ability to dynamically control my car based on crash data is 1000000% NOT the right solution....

The black box is bad enough... giving them control HELLLL no
While that is true, there's a parliamentary sovereignty doctrine, which makes it just about impossible to judicially overturn primary legislation.
The "fluff" is really stylish and I don't mind it. What is a pity is that there isn't more of a demo of the robot, operating. It's nice "technopunk", it doesn't have to be practical. He himself points out that the plain old Echo device does the job and the bot just adds personality. So using an actual CRT just as an oscilloscope display is just fine!
...until they implement a system to automatically corroborate your accounts and close them all at once, which will happen, "because crime". security theater only gets worse over time. but right now you "hackers" can stop this since 99% of transactions can still be done in cash. but you won't because you're all fake.
To be honest, I was in the same boat with M1 -> M2. Not that the M2 wasn’t an improvement, and as pointed out this article compares M2 Max to M3 Pro, it’s just that M1 was so much better than my i7 based MBP that the gains made by M2 weren’t significant enough to worry.
Is this a Mission: Impossible III reference?
The rapid change in Python is an indication that programming is different, rather than Java per se. Python, Java, and C all serve radically different programming niche.

The increase in Python tells you that its niche is increasing. It is, among other things, the language of data science and machine learning, which has a huge upswing lately. But that doesn't affect the absolute number of Java or C projects or jobs. It just tells you that a new thing is appearing.

If there is a chance in Java's utility, you see it more in C++ and C#, which occupy more similar niches. It's notable that C# is picking up; that's a trend that might be worth noting. And it's a bit puzzling that Java should fall below C++, and I suspect it has more to do with the vagaries of the metric.

But Java is for general-purpose programming, and that niche doesn't seem to be going away any time soon. If you want to get into data science, then by all means go learn Python. But that's less about picking up a new tool set as a change in careers.
The native peoples of north american were not a contiguous group. Plenty of first nations were allies of the US. Of those that were variously at war with the US, conflicts resolved in treaties dictating new borders, not some form of abject right stripping subjugation or medieval rent seeking.

The idea that as victors, the treaties you entered into with the opposing side are somehow not meant to be upheld is not a righteous notion. The US' repeated violation of promises made to the various first nations is a detestable part of our nation's history. That modern jurisprudence has starting to uphold treaties our country entered into and never formally revoked is a good thing. A nation should be its word, not merely a bludgeon.

Yes, protip: Use asdf to manage erlang and elixir versions. The only exception might be if you're on Fedora the packages tend to stay pretty new, but anywhere else (and even there if you need a specific version) asdf is a godsend. I use it to manage go, node, python, and ruby as well.
