Oh, so this isn't about optimizing torque/force distribution for axes? I always thought it'll be neat if I could move an arm parallel or orthogonal to an axis, simply by setting such predetermined set of servos to exact same values, thanks to such clever cross-coupling of joints. A bit like CoreXY, but requiring actual maths to set up, but computationally cheap to use.

When us humans animate, don't we tend to reveal such type of optimization that we can just add power to limbs to translate object, rather precisely, along cardinal directions as well as parallel directions, relative to our mental origin point? This is often explained as human brains being smart and doing fast IK calculations, but I doubt it.

But I ended out creeping out someone while trying to show how I can easily mouse-drag my wrist joint parallel to screen coordinates, so in cases above didn't apply to most, just disregard :p
It depends. Every carrier has multiple QCI or service standards in laymans' terms. Think of it as boarding priority via zone on the plane. You pay less, you get less. Same goes for coverage wise, where carriers do offer MVNO a choice to have less coverage at significant discount.
So ultimately, it depends on the person use

It is easy to quit without headaches - slowly reduce your caffeine intake over a few weeks. Quitting cold turkey (abruptly stopping) will give most people nasty withdrawal symptoms.

I regularly give up either (a) using caffeine only pills and breaking them to linearly decrease caffeine dose, or (b) measured reduction of instant coffee over time.

Start at your current caffeine intake, every morning take one dose (might start high) and reduce slowly over say 3 weeks. It requires significant patience and self-control, but it has worked for me. My main problem is ensuring I don't have social coffees: it is easy to fall back into the habit of drinking coffee if I don't follow the titration regime.

The OpenSubtitles.org API service is coming to an end, marking the end of an era after 17 years. Non-VIP users will be primarily affected, while VIP members will still have access to the API. The transition is paving the way for a more advanced and streamlined experience with the introduction of the new REST API on OpenSubtitles.com.

To celebrate this change, OpenSubtitles.org is offering a 20% discount on a one-year subscription to VIP membership. VIP members enjoy benefits such as an ad-free experience, direct download links, higher download limits, ad-free subtitles, user profile visibility, and contribute to the platform's development.
Users are encouraged to upgrade to VIP membership to take advantage of the limited-time offer and immerse themselves in a premium subtitle experience across OpenSubtitles platforms.

TLDR: Nothing changes except API prices.
The issue is that we've relied on hydrocarbons for so long that switching off means significant change at basically every level of the stack. Let's take the transition to EV vehicles as an example. To do this you need to build charging infrastructure along common and uncommon routes. Do all houses need home chargers now? What about people who use street parking only? To make the switch worthwhile you need the utilities to switch the power base to renewables. Oh and with the switch, we're now more than 2xing the amount of electricity we need to generate. So now we need to upgrade our transmission lines to carry a lot more energy. And the grid in general needs to be smarter since renewables aren't consistent in energy output. EVs need less maintenance but it's more specialized so now we need to retrain all the mechanics. Oh and how do we do this with affordable prices?

We have to make a lot of changes across virtually the entire economy including equipment/factories etc that have lifespans in 30, 50,100 years. There are major questions about how fast we can accelerate the timelines as we basically reinvent ourselves

> They could not drop core functionality from X11; somewhere, there is a client that expects it and dropping it would break it.

Of course they can. Dropping it from new versions won't wipe old servers off the planet, and as we can see from the existence of Wayland, the OSS world is very much prepared ditch far more backwards compatibility than just breaking an occasional obsolete client.

If anything, it's a far easier transition because shimming some Xlib calls is far easier than migrating applications to a whole different display model.

> That's exactly the reason why everything is an extension is Wayland: so the client is forced to enumerate, what features are available and adjust its behavior when something is not. It is exactly this, that allows Wayland to drop features, once they became obsolete. It is the lesson from not being able to drop core X11 primitives.

That doesn't work that way once something becomes reasonably ubiquitous. Experience from X is that people will expect a given extension to be there (heck, most of my own X software will categorically not work on an X server without XRender, so if that extension is ever dropped from X, my software will stop working and need to be updated - that's a tradeoff I'm perfectly fine with), not have older alternatives that make sense, and obviously not be able to predict future alternatives that do not yet exist.

In other words: You'll still need to either support those APIs, or deprecate them and update the clients. Doesn't matter if they're part of the core or extensions.

Take a band like The National. I'm 100% certain most of the listeners absolutely do not care about covers at all.

This musical world where we generate random stuff that will be consumed equivalently to current music just does not feel real. What will probably happen is that people just won't listen to music or get passionate about it at all. That might already be happening because gaming is something what music was for the generation when pull of the games was not as strong.

Young people today will probably never care about Beatles or Bob Dylan or contemporary bands. The music is just not the main interest.

Just imagine AI making games and everyone in the industry losing their job. It just does not work that way. Product is not the end. Music does not work that way. Music is more than the product.

Seems reasonable to me.

> Van Huffelen added that she doesn’t want to write off generative AI use within the government entirely. She plans various experiments to see how government services can use the technology safely. The pilots should be ready by mid-2024, after which the government can draw up guidelines for the responsible use of AI. There will also be a training program for civil servants.

This is pretty much how I'd like the issue to be handled by governments. The technology is clearly potentially useful, but there is a lot we do not understand about it yet. Experimenting with it until we have a better understanding is the way to go, and starting mid-2024 is early enough. The article headline is slightly overdone though. To me it suggests a permanent ban, while this is nothing of the sort.

I'm Dutch though, so maybe I'm biased.

Just because you're joining in the application for one code path doesn't mean all of the code paths are doing the same thing. There are certainly valid use-cases for joining in the application because application layer can often times be horizontally scaled more cheaply/easily than the persistence layer.

So in a scenario where you have plenty of network IO being under utilized for your database, it's not unimaginable where joining in the application layer would be preferable.

I was pretty confused the first time I encountered it, though. Could tell from context that it had something to do with accounts, but thought maybe it could be for syncing a user’s home directory or something!

It actually isn’t a terrible name, in isolation, since a directory (like, the non-digital version) was for keeping identities. But “directory” in tech has a pretty strong association with file systems.

Absolutely.

So the big question is to what extent what LLMs do is this, but without (yet) having been sufficiently trained on what is reasonable to fill in unknown gaps with, vs. whether there is a bigger issue.

I'm pretty hopeful that it's down to more training on when "I don't know" should be the most likely output, but I think we really don't know until more work has been done on it...
Those that accept that everything is as they're told are also usually not great minds.
In fast network processing on PC hardware, you process interrupts of NIC on a single core, automatically. That NIC is DMAing the data which you can poll and dequeue from memory via multiple consumer ring buffers. You have a single master core and N worker cores. If you go for performance and decide to dumb poll without any yields the system will be lightning fast (and max out your CPU usage)

But (as mentioned in reply above) good Ethernet cards have way less inherent I/O latency than USB input device<->HDMI screen chain.

So, I see the solution in a PCIx graphics card that can generate VGA signal and take PS/2 input via poll mode drivers. If you connect "real" peripherals to it you can go low-latency, if you connect HDMI/USB stuff via adapters you'll have arbitrary latency.
