Could you point me to the part where it says it depends on supercomputer output?

I didn't read the paper but the linked post seems to say otherwise? It mentions it used the supercomputer output to impute data during training. But for prediction it just needs:

> For inputs, GraphCast requires just two sets of data: the state of the weather 6 hours ago, and the current state of the weather. The model then predicts the weather 6 hours in the future. This process can then be rolled forward in 6-hour increments to provide state-of-the-art forecasts up to 10 days in advance.

Boy you (or whatever LLM you are using) are verbose and presumptuous. You can continue to state simple falsehoods surrounded with patronizing bloviation, but that doesn't magically make them true.

I don't make my living from programming for one (which makes your rhetoric: "Are you proud of your career? Do you think of yourself as intelligent and good at programming?" retarded as a non-sequitur) and just highlights your own small minded points of view and lack of imagination.

> Right now the best possible predictor of the future points to one where AI will improve. That is a highly valid and highly likely outcome.

It's not valid because it is vacuous. Technology generally improves. But it is the specifics and details that matter, they are the only thing that matters. Saying "AI will improve" is saying nothing useful.

I think global thermonuclear war is a more likely disruptor in the rest of my lifetime than some AI nerd rapture.

> "Of course you lie to yourself. Of course you blind yourself to the raw reality of what is most likely to occur."

I am sorry that whatever schooling or training you had did not manage to explain that this style of rhetoric does nothing more than portray you as a condescending asshole.

You're just being a condescending twatwaffle since you are arguing with individuals in a forum of which you know nothing about. You clearly have no respect for others' opinions and feel the need to write walls of text to rationalize it.

You mean the company that's been launching one rocket every 3.5 days this year?

I mean when you have a company that's shipped nothing and they are saying big things, that's one thing. But when you have a company that's actively launching and reusing more rockets than everyone else combined, that's another.

All the things you've listed are previously solved problems that have existing solutions. SpaceX isn't even inventing anything new here.

PostScript is still useful as a reporting output language (turned to pdf for end-user convenience these days) and for this I felt that the important parts were control of text rendering and placement, placement of blocks of content with respect to each other, and readability of the postscript itself (Because you rarely have a postscript environment that makes it easy to debug). 3 things missing from this tutorial. - but very achievable.
Audacity is pretty cool, but it's not the magnitude of blender in terms of complexity.

Remember, that's 100% efficient continuous 100MW. Realistically, you're looking at 3-5x that for peak power. With the current 10m drop, the head is too low to have anything like an efficient generator. Even the full 86ft drop would be terribly inefficient at the flow rates required.

However, there are solutions to things like this called a "water slope" and one has been built (notably 100x smaller than needed for Panama) and they would (need to) be much quicker as well. Basically, they push a giant slug of water up hill. Notably, one could probably make this regenerative (and you could likely reuse most of the water). That's important since it would certainly be in the multiple GW of power, but it could push/pull (two moving locks up/dn) in <1000sec so traffic through the canal could be more than 5x higher. Of course it would require massive widening, completely new infrastructure (a new giant power plant), and completely new technology.

Here's video of one (and a link to the original) with an explanation. My point is not that this is easily doable, but if you're going to spend the many $10Bs of you might as well get more boats through.

> Which car of yours did ever swap the positions and shapes of the 3 pedals or the steering wheel?

Every time I go from the UK or Ireland to continental Europe. The entire set of controls are on the other side of the vehicle, and some are mirrored (e.g. gear shift on the left or the right) and some aren't (e.g. the layout of the pedals). So I adapt.

Every time I switch from a manual to an automatic or back.

Works for keyboards, too.

When I type on PCs, the leftmost or rightmost key is Ctrl, the one next to the spacebar is Windows/Super, and the one in between them as Alt.

When I type on a Mac keyboard, I use the one next to the spacebar as Alt, the leftmost/rightmost as Cmd, and the one in between as Ctrl.

The key switch feel tells me which I'm typing on.

Switching between US and ISO layouts is similar.

This is not that hard.
Transcription speed and accuracy keeps going up and it’s delightful to see the progress, I wish though more effort was dedicated to creating integrated solutions that could accurately transcribe with speaker diarization.
My WD drives failed pretty consistently, so I'm now giving Seagate a try.

Well, my main reason was that WD decided that just failing "naturally" after a few years wasn't enough, but that a drive having been on for 3 years should be considered the same as "failing" (communicated through WDDA), which led to Synology adopting that for a while. Not sure what the current state is of that, but I intend to swap drives when they fail, not when they turn 3.
> What problem is Ubuntu trying to solve?

Guessing, but I think it probably has more to do with the various tools and frontends (GUI, cloud-init, etc.) designed to manage the configurations than it has to do with the capabilities of what the configuration system will support. I have been bitten by some of this too, but the various script hooks are still there, and I've been able to support everything else via those mechanisms.

Quite a few reasons but primarily CarPlay doesn't know about your vehicle's charge and road trip navigation requires external inputs to determine your charge route.

Apple could potentially offer an API to have "reverse" CarPlay where the car's app can feed information into iOS. I recently rented an Mercedes EV which had Apple CarPlay and it was a weird experience having to manage two sets of experiences.
Well for one Rivian (and Tesla) don't support CarPlay or Android Auto.

This is honestly because you are taking the hard path and trying to do AOT compilation. Just use Swing with HotSpot. Native Image isn't meant for GUI applications and Swing internally uses a TON of reflection.

Using jlink and jpackage with HotSpot has been trivial in my experience.
> Does sound have usable distinguishing features other than just loudness?

Than raw, peak amplitude? yes.

Frequency and amplitude variation over time will be roughly consistent in a linear system (i.e. the sound will get louder and quieter over time). If you have a stable, well-qualified listening system (such as, for example, a set of fixed recording locations in an environment that is acoustically static), you can build a map of how sound sources map to each recorder, and use principles of directed arrays to get very accurate location projections.

To use your example, yes it would be difficult for you and a single friend to confirm that you heard the same sound, but you could come up with a probability that if you heard a sound with the same characteristics with a certain time difference and loudness difference, it is likely to have been from a certain location. If, however, you have 4 friends, it gets much less likely that all 4 heard a different sounds calibrated exactly to seem like they came from a specific source when the data is combined.

I agree with the sentiment, but cars did put stalls and horse and buggy drivers out of business. Google translate may not have put translators completely out of business but when I travel I dont stress about needing one because I can fall back to translate for emergencies. The new voicebox model from Meta does seem like it really could put translators out of business. Some technologies really do kill entire industries (but I dont think the current iteration of LLMs will do so for programmer)

To me it's all-too-understandable how this is possible.

Maybe they've got a test fleet, but it accepts code signed with the test build key.

Maybe they've got a watchdog timer, but it doesn't get configured until later in the boot process.

Maybe they've got A/B boot partitions, but trouble counting their boot attempts - maybe they don't have any writable storage that early in the boot process.

I wouldn't be surprised if, as a newer company, they'd made a 'Minimum Viable Product' secure boot setup & release procedure, and the auto-fallback and fat-finger-protection were waiting to get to the top of the backlog.

This article is a fairly terrible summary, particularly when it comes to explaining the really neat thing about these coatings: It's not just that they reflect a lot of inbound light, they also radiate heat in a part of the infrared spectrum that can pass transparently through the atmosphere.

Which is one of the major reasons that these specialized coatings are better than just white paint or mirrors or things like that. They can actually cool the structure to below ambient temperature.
In a similar vein, ChatGPT can be an amazing rubber duck. If I have strange and obscure problems that stumps me, I kinda treat ChatGPT like I would treat a forum or an IRC channel 15 - 20 years back. I don't have "prompting experience or skills", but I can write up the situation, what we've tried, what's going on, and throw that at the thing.

And.. it can dredge up really weird possible reasons for system behaviors fairly reliably. Usually, for a question of "Why doesn't this work after all of that?", it drags up like 5-10 reasons for something misbehaving. We usually checked like 8 of those. But the last few can be really useful to start thinking outside of the normal box why things are borked.

And often enough, it can find at least the right idea to identify root causes of these weird behaviors. The actual "do this" tends to be some degree of bollocks, but enough of an idea to follow-up.

The problem is when what you call an ideology is actually just “acceptance of people who are different”. No one is out there telling kids that they can’t be a binary gender, no one is saying you have to be a different gender from what you were assigned at birth. What they’re saying is that it’s ok for people to exist without being the binary gender they’re assigned at birth.

So saying “I oppose this ideology” comes across as “I oppose the existence of people who aren’t their assigned at birth gender”, given that those people do exist you can see how people might find your statement offensive.

In terms of how long people who don’t fit birth gender existed - multiple non-European societies had words for them and accepted them pre-colonization (variations of two-spirit in Native American cultures iirc, I can’t recall the Polynesian term at all), and there’s plenty of examples of individuals in Europe (where it was frequently punished so there’s reason to hide). There were even treatment centers for people that recognized trans people existed, but due to the time gender confirmation surgery wasn’t available - those were intentionally targeted by Nazi germany and all documentation, treatment plans, wee destroyed and the patients were sent to death camps (remember the holocaust also targeted LGBT people, that’s where the pink triangle comes from).

I think that it takes many years to change a reputation - more than 4. A lot of devs don't like learning new things and they would have gotten deep into a different ecosystem before .NET was really open source.

You note that they open sourced it 7 years ago, but the original .NET Core was kinda an experiment. Microsoft didn't quite seem to know where they'd ultimately go with it. I think Microsoft really committed to it in 2018 or 2019. I think you also might have unrealistic expectations of how quickly things can be accomplished. Flutter is over 6 years old and still feels a bit mediocre to me - and I think Flutter is trying to solve a simpler problem since it isn't using native widgets.

For cross-platform UI, I think there is some disappointment in the .NET community. MAUI has succeeded Xamarin (except for Linux), but I think your sentiment that Microsoft isn't investing in it enough is shared by many in the community.

I think the problem is that Microsoft bit off more than it can chew with MAUI. Avalonia, Flutter, Compose Multiplatform, Electron, etc. tend to just paint non-native widgets via Skia or JS/HTML. With MAUI, Microsoft is offering actual native interfaces which means having to deal with a lot of platform differences to implement that rather than just painting their own widgets with a graphics library.

I'm not trying to talk you out of being disappointed with MAUI. It has been disappointing. However, I'm still hopeful for it simply because it's the only effort I see trying to offer a native cross-platform UI dev experience. Flutter, Avalonia, Compose Multiplatform, etc. are all saying "We'll just take a window and paint our stuff in it. Do you really care about an app feeling native?" It isn't always important, but it does feel like so many given up on native apps.

I'm hopeful that MAUI will keep getting better (as it has been) and that we'll have the opportunity for a native UI experience in the future.

Under "Case presentation" they call out that the patient is right handed... "A 54-year-old right-handed man presented with headache,"... is that a common thing to pay attention to in the type of research? I can see why they note he's a smoker, but seeing right-handed surprised me.

They invited the multiple combination vampire into their house. They know what devices are being used. If you don't want a dedicated update per piece of equipment, it'll be a large binary with lots of branching. Saying they don't know what device is where is just lazy. Ask the device what it is, and have a branch for it. If the device IDs itself as something unknown, don't do anything.
With all due respect, that all sounds like Programmer Induced Problems(tm).

Cars are a long solved problem, being around for over a century. Telephony and computing hardware and infrastructure today are in the realm of the ludicrously good compared to even just a few decades ago, even if we consider bottom of the barrel worst case scenarios. If software somehow can't work a solved problem using ludicrously good hardware, the programmers (and their managers) are the problem.
