Yeah, I think "AI" as a term has always been super compromised to the point of uselessness. ML in general is firmly in steps 4-5 - it's integrated into our lives in so many places and generally without the users having to think about it.

Car crash detection, automatic photo editing, heart rate sensing, etc. We use this stuff daily but there's generally little hype about the underlying tech (though some hype about specific applications).

What's in step 2 is "Generative AI", which IMO is also a misnomer for "large language models". The viability and uses of these models is far from proven out yet.

No, that's the Mormons.
> Jetpacks aren't here because they're fundamentally incompatible with real-world society. Imagine giving a typical driver a jetpack or a flying car, and then think about how a traffic accident would play out.

Oh yeah, imagine a transportation technology that killed people every week. No way that would be legal. Except if it's cars, for some reason they magically get a pass.

> Or in other words, we already have flying cars - but the form of a flying car that's compatible with reality is called a helicopter, and piloting one comes with a fuck ton of expensive hoops to jump through.

We could get rid of those hoops and flying cars would still have a lower death rate than the regular kind. But they can't replicate the "our oopsies are someone else's problem" field that cars have. That's the hard part.

I love the prospect of summarizing papers in layman terms, tuned to my own definition of "layman", and never looking back to the pop-science clickbait world that I've grown to detest.
You are correct, the technical differences are negligible for most intents and purposes.

However, the certification covers not only the source that was used to build, but rather the entire process to produce the binary for the source, that is our (Ferrous Systems) organization, our processes, the review process to ensure that requirements match the tests, the CI, the quality management, how we handle new issues (for example reporting to customers) … So even if you’d build the Ferrocene compiler from the available Ferrocene source, this would not give you a qualified compiler - because it’s not been built by our standards.

So to a large extend, the qualification does not produce better software, it „just“ documents that a certain quality baseline is fulfilled. But, as part of the qualification process we test the qualified targets to a higher standard than the rust project itself - the aarch64-unknown-none target is a tier 2 target for the rust project, it’s built as part of the compiler release but not tested. It‘s our qualification target so for us it’s tier 1. And indeed, we did discover issues as part of the certification effort, so ticking the boxes to fulfill that baseline did indeed improve the rust compiler. We wrote a little about the things that came out of the certification process in an earlier blog post: https://ferrous-systems.com/blog/how-ferrocene-improves-rust...

It is interesting because in many ways Apple does the same thing with Mac. They push iCloud fairly heavily.

But it feels like when you need to disable it or whatever it's not jumping through hoops. If I want to disable iCloud Drive on my Mac, as long as I wasn't working out of iCloud Drive things just keep working as expected.

I just connected my garage door opener to Home Assistant by taking apart a paired remote and wiring the button to a Zigbee relay. They can't stop me, no part of this is connected to their cloud. In any case, smart home stuff should never rely on the cloud.

Just as a counterpoint, the same games run better for me on the Linux/proton side of the same hardware. Haven't had any real issues with non-steam games either on my Linux desktop or my steam deck.

It's interesting to note how different the experience of different users is. Makes me curious what part of the stack is causing such massively divergent outcomes. Graphics driver? Window manager? Distro defaults?

Tough issue to debug. I hope someone over at Valve is studying it so the Linux experience can become better for more people.
I'm no dogmatic, soapbox-spewin' free software acolyte, but at this point using Windows just feels somehow degrading. It's like a bad night in Vegas. Like being trapped inside the Daily Mail.

Doesn't Rust have a Reference manual already? A "spec" just wouldn't be very meaningful given the lack of independent implementations. But to the extent that the reference manual doesn't suffice for documenting the language, that's a defect which could and should be fixed.
In the US government:

1. “czar” is an informal title, not an official title (the “Drug Czar” is formally titled “Director of the Office National Drug Control Policy”)

2. The “czar" informal title has nothing to do with a “war” (this is a false generalization from the Drug Czar and the War on Drugs), but with the position of coordinating policy for the executive branch for an effort that cuts across multiple cabinet level agencies.
That nVidia GPU issue was a design flaw on nVidia's part that nVidia refused to take responsibility for.

The problem is that normal use and wear and tear over time would lead to the GPU physically failing, leading to a non-bootable system and necessitating a whole new logic board.

Apple had a long standing special service program of covering (very expensive) logic board replacements for all of those MacBook Pros that were usually well out of of warranty¹ because Apple gave a damn about making it right whereas nVidia refused to even acknowledge the issue.

They're stochastic in nature and driven mostly by us hitting actual limits, both of which improve with growing population. Things may be different now, because we've crossed a meaningful threshold in how the world operates, but - AFAIK - at least until recently, overall development level and rate of advancement closely tracked population size.

> Everyone with WhatsApp is asking me to download the app

... do you understand what iMessage is just another app, the only difference is what it's shipped with every iPhone and that's why it works?

Apple has replaced a universal protocol, SMS, with their own app which is not available anywhere except iOS. And you are happy and try to convince everyone what this is totally fine. You are okay for people to buy an iPhone yet you are totally opposed to download a free app. Exactly what Apple wants.

>> With iMessage/SMS there is no setup, no sign-in, no approval process or anything.

There is a setup - buying an iOS device, there is a sign-in - creating and logging into iCloud or whatever it's called account, there is an approval process - when you create the account you give Apple all what's in the EULA and it's a lot.

Oh, and if Google would replace, ahem, enhance SMS with their own proprietary app you would be the first to cry.

The thing that makes Wikipedia great is that it is not a profit seeking-entity. It made it avoid all the incentives for shitification.
I think what you are asking for is for an abstraction layer that is on top of what the current systems do. LaTeX is a very good analogy, as it is a set of macros that hide away the numericity of the underlying TeX typesetting system. Once upon a time people did use TeX to write papers because LaTeX did not exist yet.

Such a higher level macro system must make tradeoffs between sufficient control and conciseness (though its typically possible to insert low level code in between the macros since before any macro can be executed, rendered etc. it must be converted to the lower level anyway).

Developing such a system is probably a task for tech-savvy musician rather than a music-savvy techie. Its value proposition would be precisely to crystallize composition "invariants" that are expressive and versatile enough to enable people to compose genuinely new things.

But you should keep in mind that all LaTeX papers look a bit alike :-) (though much better than Word papers).

I realize that you are being a bit over-the-top, but most people don't have high-voltage, high-amperage circuits in their homes in the US, and the vast majority of apartment dwellers, even those who have reserved parking, do not have a way to connect a high-wattage charger to their car that will also bill to their apartment.

So if you're limited to fast charging, it is relevant how common the chargers are.
The sad thing is that Windows can be lovely in the Enterprise, at least where I work it's virtually friction-free as everything is preconfigured and no annoying popus. For home use: different story.

It feels like part of the whole trend of constant polling and setting tips at 18-30%.
I miss Windows 7 so much. Apart from the slightly dated, although not bad UI, it would hold up just fine today if they didn't abandon it.

No junkware pre-installed, consistent settings interfaces (not three ways to configure a setting), and no telemetry or dark patterns.
> If you can ride out a wave of hunger for 30 - 45 minutes it goes away.

I don't know how scientific this is but this comes from a person I consider smart & knowledgeable:

My medical doctor friend explained this as hunger being triggered by a nerve signal from your stomach that food in your stomach _is about to run out_. That is, once it runs out, the nerve signal goes away.
It's not easy to in general. Gas plants typically operate via cryogenic processes. The boiling point of ethane at standard pressure is -128.2F, so you need to get below that to get everything but the methane to liquefy. -128.2F by itself isn't terribly difficult but doing so on a highly variable flow, at a well site with questionable power, with 100% reliability will be difficult.

Gas plants typically also operate above atmospheric pressure because the boiling points are higher (meaning less cooling required). That, also by itself, isn't difficult, but does add complexity and cost.
And the price is probably a really good signal of unmet housing demand, which has (probably) caused a lot more units to be built than would have otherwise.
Like with many of the examples in the replies - they may not care about how clean your code is, but they sure as hell care (and notice) if they're constantly having to untangle someones shitty code after it broke production again.

It's about where you are at relative to the median in the group, typically, not about any absolute standard.
>Removing homes from the rental market, increasing housing prices.

Wow, I didn't know this! How are housing costs going in cities that have banned or highly regulated Airbnb, like NYC or Paris? I suppose these are highly affordable cities with falling rents?
You could checkout

https://mailbox.org/.

It's a pretty cool service for most stuff you mentioned and it values privacy.

- cloud storage

- online office (calendar, documents, etc.)

- mail

- video conferencing

For more specific stuff (Smart home) you could go for Proxmox combined with zfs-auto-snapshot and some docker LXC and shared directories. Pretty easy to setup (once you are familiar) and rock solid (at least for my self-hosting use case) - even a good level of ransomware protection, if configured correctly.

Here is a sample project using proxmox with some self-hosted services (not a recommendation, just an example): https://github.com/bashclub/zamba-lxc-toolbox
Yes, it's called Java modules (aka JEP-200).

Although people often skip it and put everything in one module. It was released in Java 9 (started in 2014 and completed fully in 2017).
> beanie babies were booming as an investment vehicle, buying one was trivial, many people received very tangible value.

Investments is huge market, it is hard for me to track what are the current volumes of crypto tradings and holdings, but it still can be significant.
> Cryptocoins are a technology. Users of a particular cryptocoin protocol form a community.

Nah. Cryptocoin users fluidly switch between cryptocoins. You could be into... I dunno... Lunacoin... and by next week you'd have changed all your money into Mooncoin before anyone notices. In fact, I can pump Lunacoin while I'm selling it and no one would be wise to my tricks.

OCR users don't really. Its a lot of friction.

There's a reason why cryptocoins were so good at scamming. They were fluid enough that you could be a dishonest snake. But if you write like a 10,000 line codebase using tesseract-ocr, you ain't switching off of that without some serious amounts of effort. (Certainly not a week's worth of effort IMO).

Woah,

How did you even landed that gig

I’m asking out of the curiosity
"pirated" yes but you can often source the install images direct from Microsoft and then use open source tools to crack the activation systems. Microsoft has kind of stopped policing piracy at the individual user level, you can even download Windows cracking tools off GitHub, a platform that Microsoft owns. As long as you're using their software it makes them happy. And LTSC is worth it to have a barebones no-bullshit Windows installation.
You used the word “mitigate” but in the same post also expressed surprise that any bias effect was left at all, which indicated you expected elimination of the effect from a “good hiring process" rather than mere mitigation.
There can be two problems.
It’s really unfair that Google, which has constantly killed good messaging apps for terrible ones would get to force Apple to give them access to successful one. If google had just kept the chat service everyone already used in Gmail called hangouts instead of making constantly crappier versions and forcing us to use them, they probably wouldn’t have this problem. Now no one wants to use their messenger that they strong armed the carriers into letting them implement, so now they get to force it on Apple users.

Dear Google, if we wanted your crappy messaging service we would have bought an android phone. Thanks, the users.
The second one was for a demo at an ESA symposium about rust in space, so it‘s not directly related to the certification.
Woah , didn't know that! Thanks for pointing out!
Precisely why I’m on a Windows 10 install that hasn’t been updated in nearly 2 years.

“yes but those updates contain security patches!”

If three letter agencies or foreign state sponsored hackers want my Baldur’s Gate 3 save files that bad, they can have them.

Otherwise I’m not installing Linkin_Park_Numb.mp3.exe or raw dogging Russian URLs in my spam folder so it’s tough to care.

Bitdefender tells me when something tries to send a packet or if a exe changes.

Competent engineers never understand why others are not as competent as them. It'd be cute if they didn't then write thoughtleadership about how it's really simple to get rid of the cloud - you too can run your own datacenter, and custom kubernetes orchestration competitor.

Looking at ya, DHH.

And of course, it's the same thing here:

OOOOH they should just hire competent people? I guess they never thought of that...

Whom did they call "nazi"? Anybody?

If they didn't call any particular person "nazi" then it's unprofessional to suggest they did that.
Isn't it weird how roughly speaking, things you do not strictly require tend to get cheaper over time whilst things you absolutely need get ever more expensive or at least not cheaper?

It seems the true needs of survival need to be sufficiently expensive otherwise you can't boss people around.

So my only real experience with linux gaming is with SteamOS and Proton.

A big example of a game that I had to jump through hoops (and just gave up and switched to Windows) was Kingdom Hearts. FF14 (not through Steam) was another example of a game that I got to work fairly well, but the steps to get it working was weird and meant I lost the syncing the real launcher had.

However I do want to mention that I actually did some comparisons, and at least on my steam deck I got better battery life and performance on games running on Windows 10 LTS vs the same games running on SteamOS.

I didn't do extensive testing, but enough to make the choice fairly easy and remove any compatibility issues.
Mutually assured destruction does that. The security council has nothing to do with it. Also, at the time of its founding, the US was the only country with nukes, so that's not the logic behind who the permanent members are.
Since it's automated, it could cost less than a dollar per booking, orders of magnitude less than what a travel agent could offer.
This is not news, has been the case since Intel macs, though the rise of Electron apps has reduced the MacOS advantage.

I do have an 8GB M1 mini I use for development and the only way to make it run out of memory is to run Docker, otherwise it's perfectly fine.
I just see more branches as less money that could be paid to me in interest.
I made a NeoVim plugin that helps debug diagnostic messages, providing explanations and solutions for how to fix them, custom tailored to your code.

My mother in law works for a company that allows her to work from home from a personal device running Chrome.

Several times a year I get a phone call at 6:30AM from her asking to quickly drive to her house before her shift starts at 7 to fix her computer, because "something happened" or "I was hacked". Every time, it's been an update which has reset her default apps so email opens in the newish Mail app and not Outlook or Gmail-in-Chrome, or changes the browser to Edge from Chrome. I'm not a systems administrator, so I havent a clue on what the magical incantations of registry paths and values should be which prevent this despite trying.

Obviously if this was a domain managed asset at a company, someone would know how to prevent this. As a "home device", it feels like you're automatically enrolled in the "Global Microsoft domain", and subject to the whims of a product manager making IT decisions.

> I think it's kind of neat that the internet has finally come around to make cable TV obsolete.

As a counterpoint, decisions by the FCC (during the previous presidential administration), are effectively making the internet a requirement for OTA TV in the new ATSC 3.0 spectrum.[1]

Here’s hoping we get more consumer focused considerations in the future. The internet features are nice (if you have internet access) but shouldn’t prevent a consumer from accessing OTA ‘out of the box’

I've uninstalled the xbox uwp apps and various built in apps many times and they keep coming back, it is very annoying. Especially the xbox one because one time their xbox game bar thing popped up during a meeting while I was remote desktop sharing and I never play any games on that machine but hey, it showed up randomly anyway.
Is that really true though, or are low-hanging fruit issues like this more of a distraction from buckling down for the hard work that we're afraid of?
