Where I live was caught up in the SF bay area storms at the beginning of the year, and we had several extended multi-day power outages. It quickly became apparent that the battery backup in the local cell tower lasts about an hour, and then it's just gone. It was very worrying.
All these breaking changes coming from Redhat engineers. All while Guido works for Microsoft. Curious.
LOL, I did pretty much the same thing, just not for as long. I remember it took about a day after I had it installed that suddenly every house I was looking to buy "had to have @Home service" (there wasn't another provider where I was looking). I can't remember how long it took before it became a mild crisis when internet service was out.

Amazing how far things have come. I work at home, now. Late into the COVID lockdown, the $120/mo Business internet service that hasn't gone down since it was installed (like ten years ago?)[0], was intermittently down for a week, with some periods exceeding 24-hours[1]. I was already at a permanent remote work gig and though I could still write code, there were certain things that were impossible being unable to connect to anything.

I'm a cord cutter and this was COVID lock-down so nothing was open. With no internet/YouTube/TikTok/Snapchat/etc/etc/etc ... you'd think we were living under candle-light boiling water for a bath the way the kids were behaving (insult to injury, it was freezing outside, their mobile service was awful in the house so they were dry).

Seriously, though, there were moments during that week that I was like ... "so what now ... early bedtime?"

[0] Technically it went down once, shortly after install, when the service provider I had left had cut the wrong line while terminating my service. To my new provider's credit, they send someone out an hour after I called -- at 5:30 PM -- and fixed it without charge. They'd charge now, but everything goes downhill ...

[1] The reason I pay for the Business service is this reliability. I was told "when there's maintenance, they send an e-mail and it's late/over the weekend." My neighbors have lost service several times when I've been fine. There's "no guarantee service will always work" but the outage was caused by the provider botching a Gigabit upgrade that was supposed to be short/weekend/evening, customers were never notified about and ended up being a prolonged outage.
Google's advantage here is so blatantly obvious

Exactly. Google has so much more resources, tries so hard to compete (it's literally life or death for them), and yet it's still so far behind. It's strange that you don't see that - if you haven't tried comparing Bard's output to GPT-4 for the same questions - try it, it will become obvious.

It's quite possible their rumored Gemini model might finally catch up with GPT-4 at some point in the future - probably around the time GPT-5 is released.

> I mean, why do we wear the clothes we do? Why not other clothes? Why do we choose the art we collect? Why do some people care about art, and some don't? Why do we follow the sports? Why do some people follow football while others care about cricket?
Different people care about different things. Why should we judge what people care about?

Because fonts have become fetishized, and in my opinion, it’s weird.
On a lark a made a Ceph cluster a couple of years ago with a dozen RPis, a dozen commodity 1TB USB drives, and a SO/HO switch and... it worked. Like, it was a joke project one afternoon but suddenly we had a 3X redundant 4TB S3 pool that was faster than our WAN connection and just took switching out a HD or RPi once a quarter or so whenever Nagios lit up that one had failed.
Interestingly in Japan their manufacturers all voluntarily agreed to limit their domestically produced cars to 180km/h (112mph), which has been in place for decades now.
You're assuming the smears aren't deserved :)

More anonymous voices have pointed out that Sam was effectively laying the groundwork for one or two more AI startups based on the work OpenAI was doing, without informing the board, and in contravention of the way OpenAI was deliberately structured to restrain unfettered AI profit-seeking. But again, anonymous voices. And in the background, Sam's sister making very dire accusations against him.

There's a whole lot of smoke, but I have no clue where the fire is, and I'm sceptical of everyone now, especially Sam Altman because his image is so shiny that it feels like a professional effort.
I’m having really great results with Frigate. Took me a while to figure out that low resolution sub streams should be used for object detection and the high resolution for recording.

Also learned that go2rtc allows me to have one connection to a camera but then restream it to homebridge, frigate, etc. I use to fumble with ffmpeg to do it but go2rtc is easier.

I have a small form factor Dell desktop refurb with an m.2 coral tpu in the wifi slot. I use the coral for object detection and the Intel GPU for decode acceleration.

I’m curious as to why I haven’t seen NVR software that uses cameras built in object and motion detection and listens for those alarms or events?
>human hubris and greed for the desire of ever-growing process, always prevail in the end

Caveat Emptor. The "We are rewind" player is absolutely awful quality. There are any number of reviews of it around, here's one from a respected YouTuber:

If you do it properly, from the outside it seems sudden.
Common people generally don't get the "spend more time with family" treatment when they get fired. Therefore rich people shouldn't be entitled to it.
I think there's another option, which is cheat codes.

To paraphrase a bad movie line: we need to science the shit out of this.

We won't reverse our own course of progress and consumption, but perhaps we can reverse the damage with sufficient tech.
> Write a regex to find all the strict ISO8601-RFC3339 strings in a directory

That is a weird edge case. I've had this before and the person proposing it hinged on some forensic practice which was based on analyzing human readable data. As I said in my original post, pretty printing ints to ISO timestamps is actually my original opinion.
Information just reported this:

Breaking: Sam Altman Will Not Return as CEO of OpenAI

https://www.theinformation.com/articles/breaking-sam-altman-...
Everyone says Sam can start a newco so easily, but he'd lose the data, codebase and deployed infrastructure, and a lot of knowledge. If people think it's devastating for OpenAI to lose 1/3 of its employees, Sam would basically be starting with the equivalent of an OpenAI that lost 2/3, along with all the other problems. Of course, with enough time and money he can recover, but I don't think it would be that easy. And to Sam, such a slowdown when he had so much momentum before may be the hardest thing to accept.
Maybe you don't need to talk to people all day at work if you could do your work without talking to them all day long during WFH. Work places must be quite, it's not for chatting with others.

If you are bored of office, you take a leave or you quit the work, problem solved. If you are bored of work at home, there's no place you go.
I was helping my sister plan a trip recently and she asked how I was finding all these places to check out. I told her I just randomly pan around Google Maps and click stuff. She thought I had some super secret travel sites.
This all sounds like somebody with an anti-Israel bias…

According to the article, the original report
aired on the Israeli Educational Television show Vacuum: https://www.timesofisrael.com/ethiopian-women-claim-israel-f...

The anchor interviewed Ethiopian women who said they thought the shots were vaccinations. “The women claimed Israeli representatives from the Joint Distribution Committee (JDC) and the Health Ministry told them that raising large families is especially difficult, that it is for hard people with many children to find work and support their families, and that many landlords would not be willing to rent apartments to large families.”

This is from Times Of Israel, not Al Jazeera.
Ok, the website looks totally ridiculous, but this kind of patronship have existed since artists are a thing, so it’s not completely out of whack.

It’s a bit of a mixture between an art residency program and an art gallery.

Residencies usually provide a place to live/work for a given period of time, as well as some social circle (fellow artists, curators, collectors) for the artists to meet, and sometimes some money. They usually are charities and artists don’t give them anything.

Galleries usually provide upfront money to produce work as well as connections to collectors and a place to show their work and take a cut in futures sales.

The main issue is that the art world is allergic to the language these guys use, so they’ll likely attract not-so-good artists and may not be able to connect artists with the people who actually matter in the art world.

Also giving artists 30% of what they earned the year before is a really bad idea:

1. Because artists’ income is very unstable, so people won’t apply if they had a bad previous year.

2. And because it’s not life changing. An artist who earns 50k will be happy to get 15k, But it’s not going to allow him to invest heavily in his art. An artist who earns 300k is already well established and doesn’t need those funds really to produce whatever they want.

Also 3 months is very short.

My guess is that these guys will attract early-retired-tech-millionaires-turned artists, who aren’t turned down by the language, and who sell stuff to early-retired-tech-millionaire-turned-art-collectors. Expect a lot of AI-based work!
Oops they did it again! Massive fan, and I use it!
He's presumably referring to a geologic timescale. This [1] graph is telling. There have been numerous extinction events, even before the existence of humanity. So the survival rate of species looks much more like a sine wave than it does some sort of linear graph. Life, even on a species level, is brief. It creates an interesting balance between humanity and nature. The one solution to this problem is to expand - make life multiplanetary, and not just human life. Human industrialization is certainly causing plentiful destruction, yet it will also likely be the one thing that may possibly save the lives of countless species.

So for instance the most popularly known mass extinction event was the dinosaurs, like caused by an asteroid impact some ~15km large. If there was such an asteroid on an impact course today, we could probably detect it a bit before it impacted - but not do a whole heck of a lot more. We could launch every single nuke we have and it would be like throwing baseballs at a semi-truck. By contrast when it lands, it would be the equivalent of hundreds of millions of nukes going off, and the ash of the impact would completely blot out the sky. Those who survived the initial impact would die from either starvation, freezing, or lack of oxygen as all plants and wildlife gradually died off.

Anyhow, space tech is important. And we're only able to achieve such thanks to human industrialization and spread. Paradoxical, but such is the nature of all technological progress which invariably brings problems ultimately only solved by even more advances which, again, bring their own problems. It makes life feel like a game, or maybe we just make games modeled after life.

Ousted OpenAI CEO Altman joins executives at headquarters – The Information
In an alternate universe, people might've discovered simple radio first, and skipped all the fancy clock developments!

1. Set up a big transmitter in some major city that fires off a big noisy pulse at every day at solar-noon.

2. Equip your long-distance ships with mediocre clock and a radio-receiver that is just good enough to detect the pulse if a crewmember is waiting and listening for it.

3. Using the low-accuracy clock, measure the difference between (A) solar noon where the ship is and (B) when the radio-pulse is received. Every 4 minutes is 1 degree of longitude.

P.S.: The pulse-listener will have to shift their listening-window as the ship travels, but it shouldn't be too tough since they already have a so-so clock and know their latitude. Sailing 200km/day along the equator means the pulse-listener would have to adjust their listening-window by ~8 minutes/day to keep "centered" on the pulse moment.
Even unmodded Minecraft would belong on this list. Redstone contraptions and production automation can be part of base building in the basic survival game. The list has a section for Open-World Survival Sandboxes - Minecraft is one of the originators of that genre.
I understand the conspiracy suggestions but from my personal experience this seems a lot like typical nonprofit board drama. Just with a couple orders of magnitude more money.

There's certainly a market, but the process of manufacturing and recycling them is difficult to do in compliance with modern environmental regulations. In particular, the leaded glass is problematic to export for recycling.
I wouldn’t say we’ve hit the center of the bullseye quite yet, still experimenting with the exact patterns of organizing and structuring a project using this approach.

But so far we’ve landed on using the django-components library [1] to build something akin to Vue’s single file components. HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Python “business logic”, all in one file.

That component is then used in the Django templates, or in other component’s HTML, and it all seems to work very React-like in terms of an organized structure of composable components. Combined with HTMX the traditional SSR challenges you mention seem fairly straightforward to handle.

> what if you’d like to statically verify that your templates have all the content in place? Proper typing?

Can you say more about this? Would this be using TypeScript in React to verify types, or something more involved? I’m trying to understand this and what the equivalent might be in this “dynamic SSR” scenario.

I was born and live in Western Australia, a state almost half the land area of Australia, three times larger than Texas, with a population of ~ 2 million most of whom live in and around the one big city in the south west corner.

I grew up in the Kimberley on cattle stations, went to high school in the Pilbarra , and travelled 1,000 km to university (1980s).

I did a lot of STEM courses, built robots, remote signal aquisition instrumentation, pre Google Maps global mapping software (and data processing) travelled the world (two thirds or so of the 190+ countries) zeroing in WGS84 against old mapping systems and doing a bit of exploration geophysics.

I currently mostly live in the wheatbelt district, large farms you can shoot 5,000+ yards across (*), and live a fairly rural lifestyle - with drones, GPS controlled two storey machines, multi spectral crop imaging, etc.

I have far too many subscriptions, and I should probably cancel some of those. I'm only going to list the ones I like and regularly in this comment.

Git Tower. I don't like git and I don't like interacting with it from the command line. Most of the time, I use either Tower or Magit to dull the pain a bit.

Spotify. All streaming services are more or less the same. IME, Spotify is the least bad of them all in terms of UI, performance, app quality, responsiveness, and compatibility. It's also the main streaming service everyone uses in my circles, so not having an account means I don't get to see my friends' playlists.

YouTube Premium. I don't like ads, but I also don't like playing what-a-mole with Google. It helps that Premium costs only $16/year in India.

Readwise Reader. It's an RSS reader, read-later service, and email newsletter inbox all rolled into one. It also lets you highlight parts of what you read, and surfaces them using a spaced-repetition algorithm. Worth every last rupee if you read a lot online.

Fastmail. Gotta have email, and I don't like Google.

Switch Online. I only have this for cloud backups of my saved games.

I don't mind subscribing to apps and services. It often ends up being cheaper than buying something upfront. My only issue with subscriptions is that there's no central place where I can manage all of them, so I'm forced to use external tools to keep track of them.
In this context, what’s destroyed isn’t the energy itself but the product that was yielded from the work it enabled.
A simple correlation of audio chunks from microphone and from the TTS should be enough to tell which parts in the input stream are re-recorded TTS. Much simpler, no?
We bought about half a dozen to start with. We have a few more on some Christmas wishlists shared with family and there will probably be one in the stockings.

So far it's been popular. Not an every day toy yet but it is becoming more popular. My oldest is well under 5 years old so I imagine they have a few years to really grow into some of the rest of the content.

We originally got it as another option for some kind of media that wasn't always too high-energy as we got later into the evening. We're trying to ensure they don't stay glued to the TV until just before bed. They like having this as an option alongside books or other music. They haven't really figured out or cared for the streaming media content. We use it as a night time noise maker and nightlight for one child.

I do get it's kind of weird buying content based on nfc tags. It really showcases the hyper-drm landscape for this content. But in the end it's a decently built and high quality product that's incredibly smooth for a child to operate.

Right. The end result is arguably similar, but the builder is typically putting up a whole development including streets, water and sewer connections, etc., sometimes including concessions required by the municipality, like new parks or schools. They're also typically taking on a lot of the risk.

It just typically makes more sense in 2023 for a home buyer not looking for a custom build to get a piece of land with a house on it where they can walk in and turn on the lights and faucets than to buy a parcel of land, order a container full of lumber, and start individually dealing with permits, construction financing, grid interconnections, contractors, etc.

AI Safety means a lot of different things.

Inward safety for people means their vulnerabilities are not exposed and/or open to attack. Outward safety means they are not attacking others and looking out for the general wellbeing of others. We have a lot of different social constructs with other people of which we attempt to keep this in balance. It doesn't work out for everyone, but in general it's somewhat stable.

What does it mean to be safe if you're not at threat of being attacked and harm? What does attacking others mean if doing so is meaningless, just a calculation? This goes from everything from telling someone to kill themselves (it's just words) to issuing a set of commands to external devices with real world effects (print ebola virus or launch nuclear weapon). The concern here is the AI of the future will be extraordinarily powerful yet very risky when it comes to making decisions that could harm others.

Especially since one board member has through his own investments a clear conflict of interest with openai under sam’s direction, the other has a hurt ego over sam limiting temporarily resources for his research, the other two remain question marks over why they even sit in a board that directs a 90bn company. This has not much to do with ai safety but with very personal motives. A clown show of a board.
