It's not really different. If you use .razor files it hides the way state mutation works so it superficially looks more imperative (I guess so it isn't scary to people who are used to server rendered razor templates in asp.net) but it's basically the same as MVU/react/elmish/whatever in f#/fable just without explicit update messages.

You can trivially build something that looks exactly like elm/elmish on top of blazor if you just organize your code that way.

Also, I like fable but you have to be careful about what .net features you use because it's transpiled and the standard library is reimplemented (there's lots of stuff that hasn't been implemented). Blazor has better compatibility and you can use pretty much anything in .net and even native code that has been compiled to WASM.

So 1) there's no good reason to abandon blazor for something more like fable in terms of being transpiled to javascript, since wasm will only be more mature, and 2) if you want something that looks more functional like f# with elmish you can easily get that on top of blazor.

(There is even something similar to fable/elmish on top of blazor for f# (Bolero) but you could do the same thing in c# too).
I’d certainly agree you have the right to say anything to my employer you want to say, as long as it’s not defamatory. (If I posted $Y and you told them I posted $Y, then that can’t be defamatory because it’s true)
Isn’t underground carbon sequestration essential how the process occurs naturally?
It would be neat to see an alternate universe where there was zero corporate welfare for petroleum and for solar/wind/tidal/hydro. I imagine that in such a world, renewables would have become the default sometime in the 70s and millions of lives would have been saved due to fewer oil wars and cleaner air.
They're part of the venture and some of their design team seems to have moved over to lead design there.
Mandatory health insurance is as far from the US model as it gets, no?

Most EU countries have a healthcare model like Switzerland where you have mandatory private insurance.

It's only more expensive in CH than in many EU countries because the state doesn't directly subsidize the healthcare insurers.

Think ~5k$ premiums + ~3k$ deductibles.
So it's some sort of Windows Emulator?
All the llama models, including the 70B one can run on consumer hardware. You might be able to fit GPT-3 (175B) at Q4 or Q3 on a Mac Studio, but that's probably the limit for consumer hardware. At 4-bit a 7B model requires some 4GB of ram, so that should probably be possible to run on a phone, just not very fast.
The funny thing is that exclusivity would have been broken by the digital markets act if it actually were a moat here in Europe. But it's not, nobody cares about iMessage here. Even iOS users.
I've tried to meet YouTube in the middle, adBlock, but disabling it on the regular channels I view.

Last night, 1 minute of preroll ads in front of a 4 minute video..

In fact when I went back just to check the video length, I switched off ad block:

It wanted to play 2 ads, first one being 1:37 ...

I think I'll go back to the to blanket adblock and see if I can spread a little of the loose change I have among those channels I truely get some worth out of.
Sounds like if you were running more than a couple of customers on the same hardware it would be easy for Apple to swat you. Since IIRC iMessage is authenticated with device keys so all VMs on the device would share the same key. Maybe they are betting that A) Apple doesn't care enough B) They aren't technically breaking any rules C) Enough "real" people do have multiple VMs signed into iMessage that they don't stand out enough to get blocked.
Glad to see this finally happening. This goal was definitely part of the appeal when I was working on the Autobidder team at Tesla!

The regulations have some work to do catch up to allowing batteries to operate in a straightforward manner. For example, the big battery we launched in Texas had to be registered as both a generator and a controllable load with all sorts of weird issues around switching from discharging (being a generator) to charging (being a load) that a battery wants to do all the time. We found engineering solutions to them, but it's even better that the market operators are working on properly recognizing batteries as their own unique asset with their own advantages and challenges.
LLMs are not even close to AGI but they fake it enough that we can be pretty sure humans will allow them to take arbitrary decisions without further control.

Will LLM kill us all and rule the world, no. Will LLM kill some of us because someone decided that they are cheaper at taking vital decisions ? I’m pretty sure it’ll happen.
If you're using these, be 100% sure your device connects the batteries in series, not in parallel, or you'll have a mess on your hands.
As said by me and others elsewhere on this thread, this is of course a valid requirement, and tools have been developed for permanently capping charging percentage on Macs for quite some time. I don't have an objection to that.

My Macs charge routine is way more hectic than my phone's which is very predictable, and both of them guesses what I'm trying to do correctly 99% of the time, and that's fine by me.

What I said is, it's working fine for me, but the system is open to tuning both out of the box (I need this now, please charge), or with some small tools (it was called Aldente IIRC), for differing, equally valid needs.

I don't think we're in disagreement here.

BTW, your nick reads ********. Is it hunter2 or something? ;)
I worry about corporations and/or authoritarians getting even more edge. Personally I am not worried about a Terminator/Skynet scenario, more about greed and people holier than thou using this technology to cement their position.

A Game of Books (2012)
Open source is increasingly a kink friendly space where people are encouraged to let their freak flag fly. See also, e.g., cargo-mommy: https://github.com/Gankra/cargo-mommy
The whole premise of the article is that BEV are dead in the water as they are too expensive, the range is too low, there is not enough electricity to charge them and it would take at least 50 years to solve these problems.

Clearly the author has completely missed the developments in battery technology of the past 10 years and the lowering prices of EVs in that same timeframe. Just an example, a 2012 Nissan Leaf started $36k (MRSP) and could barely get you through 100 miles. The 2024 model starts at $28k and gets you 200 miles. Take inflation into account and you pay 40% less for twice the range. I don’t see any reason why these developments would not continue into the future.

Just regarding the MKBDH video, he does explicitly call out the security issues inherent with the design at around 5:53, and credits it as a reason not to try this feature. So, yeah, it's wild that they considered this ready to ship.

Not only are a rather decent number of AI developers and researchers who are Chinese, perhaps, and likely, some of the best in the world. but not only this but they are also the only manufacturing center for the GPU/CPUs needed to run the things. Tight collaboration between AI researchers and the manufactures of the hardware? No other country (absent their direct neighbors) have any chance at growing manufacturing facilities fast enough to catch up, especially with that combination.
How do you prevent people from writing code or buying GPUs not just in the US but worldwide? You are missing my point entirely. The barrier to entry is so low (and getting lower) and policing difficulty so high it seems inevitable.

We also passed laws against and police computer crimes and those are on the rise for the same reason- low barrier to entry and difficulty policing.
I had a terrible time with blazor. It’s semantics are clunky
I've done something similar in my Zero Gravity game (long time iOS project), where I had astronauts engaged in rag roll kung fu in space, with a GLSL earth in the background with day/night cycles. Just like Star Wars has sound in space, my game (as well as the linked renderer) added ambiant light to see the unlit part of earth. However, there is no ambiant light on the dark side of the moon<-<-<- earth.

The linked article touches on this. It explains that the new trains emit similar heat levels to older trains, and says there was no option to emit more heat without heating the tunnels. They made the running gear cooler (by installing less of it), and using that heat saving as the budget for the air cooling.

As a software engineer who's not touched hardware design in 25 years, I found this heat budgeting really interesting.
I'd never be able to choose a single "favorite". However, I can't sit idly by without seeing FORTH mentioned.

I wish there was a plugin for yt-dlp that would feed the video ID over to SponsorBlock, get the sponsor segments, and then during the yt-dlp post-processing steps it would clip out the sponsor segments.
Thanks, I just did :)
>Based on the money they are pulling in, they could easily put fewer, less intrusive ads on the platform and still make a healthy profit.

Not disagreeing/agreeing with you but just want to point out that Alphabet Inc only publicizes Youtube's revenue and not the profit in their financial reports. So we as outsiders really can't say with 100% certainty whether Youtube is still losing money, or break-even, or profitable.

And if they are profitable this year (or recent years), does it make up for all the accumulated losses over multiple years since they acquired it in 2006? We don't have the raw internal numbers to calculate that.
You know how healthy smart young people are always in a hurry to accomplish something or another? There's good reason to expect that the first AI with dangerous cognitive capacities will be like that. It's likely to the turn the Earth and Moon into spaceships because that is the fastest way to exert an effect on matter far away (for which space ships and lots of fuel is needed). Sparing Earth and disassembling Mars and Venus takes longer because the AI came into existence on Earth.

>leave the beautiful and interesting diversity of life on earth alone

If you know of a way to make an AI of superhuman cognitive capabilities care even a tiny bit about beauty and the diversity of life, you should explain your proposal over on lesswrong.com and someone will pay you to work on it just like a multitude of funding sources have been paying alignment researchers for the last 20 years. So, far none of the lines of research resulting from this 20 years of funding looks promising.

>The existential doom scenarios are more like Pascal's wagers, that have to be given attention due to Bayesian thinking not allowing to assign 0 probability to anything

No, an AI's killing everybody is the outcome an informed person would naturally expect from the current deplorable situation in the AI field.
Well in the UK there are limits to how many ads you can put on broadcast TV.

So if we can let broadcast TV know, why not YouTube?

I haven’t heard a definition of “reasoning” or “thinking” that proves humans aren’t doing exactly that same probabilistic regurgitation.

"The best time to plant a tree is twenty years ago. The second best is today."

For the short-term, planting rice differently can reduce methane emissions substantially. In the short-term, methane is much worse. In the long run, methane breaks down to carbon which persists.

If we want to reverse climate change, we need to restore nature's ability to sink that carbon.

Will Knight, a writer for Wired, is stating “I have reason to believe that the OpenAI Anthropic merger story is a complete fabrication”:

I'm saying that on UNIX, the C standard library provides the OS API, while on Linux the OS API can be accessed directly via syscall numbers (which are stable). But on Linux `getenv()` is still not an OS API, it's provided by libc (musl or glibc, both provide POSIX APIs as well as the ISO C standard library functions and some other extensions and syscall wrappers).

> On non-UNIX platforms stuff like getenv() belongs to the specific compiler C library, not the OS API, hence why Windows doesn't use it.

Linux isn't a UNIX, and non-POSIX compliant Linux distributions exist. getenv() is still part of the C library, not the OS API, yet Linux distributions still use it. So that's not the only reason why Windows doesn't use it. It's more because Windows design wasn't originally POSIX-compatible (some POSIX wrappers got added with Windows NT) and MS designed their own API.
All the trappings of a company that considers itself irreplaceable. Which a few years ago we might have all agreed on but consider this, what if Tiktok launched a long form version of their algorithm with a strong web viewing experience and better payouts for creators. In that world would YouTube seem irreplaceable or would it seem more like a relic.
True, and ads were damaging back then as well, and I believe that was also quite problematic for society.

However, we should also note that ads have gotten worse, more insidious, and personalized with tracking and that's rather creepy.

We seem to get a scam startup à la Psystar every couple of years. Some of them seem to believe that they’re too small and not worth Apple’s lawyers’ time, and other seem to be convinced that they are within their rights and Apple an evil monopolist.
Go was never meant to be a low-level language. It was called a systems language in that sense that system management software was written with it, rather than say operating systems and the like. It was to be a more tractable language than C/C++ for the many devs at Google.
> * Despite a pretty much affirmed right to record officers (under the First Amendment), policy directives reminding officers of this fact, and — much more importantly — a state law codifying this right, the NYPD still pretends it can control when and where it can be recorded.*

Reasons include: Reprimand chances reduced by unions and internal culture, post-violation support by the same, ability to greatly intimidate most citizens without much consequence, lawsuit payouts get covered by taxpayers and more lenience from judges and prosecutors. If discipline leads to exiting a force, officers find uneven or no tracking of bad LEO behavior and plenty of other departments willing to pick them up.

All of this is mitigated by the quality of a police chief and tons of random stuff out of the officer's control.
It is probably good to have a sodium battery industry to hedge against high lithium prices. For our current and projected needs there is probably enough lithium on earth. Here is a chart of what we mine https://www.visualcapitalist.com/all-the-metals-we-mined-in-...
Personally I would probably accept a 3 second ad-snippet before the actual content, preferably skippable ;)

But that's not even the issue. For instance the entire Steam platform is built around advertising computer games to me that I might be interested in, and I have zero issue with that. I discovered lots of interesting games by following Steam's recommendations which I then bought and enjoyed.

I also accept "sponsor ads" that are directly integrated into YouTube content creator videos, absolutely nothing wrong with that.

What's entirely pointless is YouTube showing me some fancy lifestyle ad that's entirely unrelated to my "lifestyle" and also unrelated to the video that I actually wanted to watch instead.
Yes, but the rocket is still being a rocket, and after it leaves the tube, it'll still toss a ton of exhaust at the bike. I know it's designed to be fired stationary, but this discussion is about the feature allowing it to be fired in motion in emergencies, which hopefully nobody ever did.
This is an absolutely perfect name for an RSS feed reader. Not my thing (the service is!) but perfect naming. The devs have a good sense of humor.

Killing us in a nuclear holocaust is for now a very far fetched hypothesis. I surely hope Nuclear C&C networks are properly air-gaped from the internet, and that actually launching the nukes require humans in the loop (yes, humans that could be socially engineered by an uber smart AGI, but then we are reaching).

The immediate danger from UI is on the economic and political realm. Reinforcing wealth-concentration, monopolies, all powerful surveillance and propaganda.

I care more about those immediate dangers, that are related to how humans that control the AI can use it for their benefit versus the rest of us, than to the distant theoretical scenario of an AI going crazy and deciding to go all skynet on US.

I fear the AI owners, they are going to fuck us way before the AI has any idea about fucking humans.
Oh they googled it alright.
Yes — the same party has been persistently racist.

After the Civil War, they formed the KKK and Jim Crow to circumvent civil rights.

In modern times, they implemented racial quotas then racial preferences, both of which were ruled illegal bigotry by the US Supreme Court. (At Harvard and UNC, just last year.)

The same party who called blacks “super predators” (Clinton) and whose current president described integrated schools as a “racial jungle” (Biden).

The same party whose supporters are in the streets today, chanting genocidal slogans such as “from the river to the sea”.

The former DNC chairwoman just this week mocked the name of someone born in the US with Indian heritage and told him to “go home!”

I'm missing the point how changing the user agent resolves the delay? It is quite possible that this was an attempt to hinder ad blocking but why would changing the user agent to Chrome while maintaining all of the same ad blockers remove the slowdown?

I actually still think that there is a decent change that this wasn't fully intentional (as in the task wasn't to user-agent detect non-Chrome and slow it down) but the explanation doesn't cover why this delay depends on the user agent?

Wildebeest and wolves: Secret weapons against climate change
I would think the first resort in most of the non-flooding-related cases[1] is backpressure. If you've got too many requests coming in, be sure that internally you start parking the excess incoming requests in some low-resource-usage configuration (e.g., simply noting the incoming TCP connection but then not even read()ing from it until you are ready), and let the system push back naturally by the way its latency increases. This obviously naturally pairs with both client-side and server-side timeouts, giving both a vote in how long they're willing to wait.

This is generally what you want. Actively breaking the connections if I think I'm overloaded is only something I'd add if there is some additional constraint on the system that suggests it's a good idea due to some specific local concerns. Circuit breaking produces a much sharper (for lack of a better term) performance graph, where instead of degrading gracefully like backpressure will, you suddenly start getting active failures.

I've built a lot of backpressure in my systems; I'm yet to need a circuit breaker. YMMV, of course, but I see some people referring to it as a basic tool and I would disagree; the basic tool is backpressure.

[1]: Flooding is its own thing. In general, to weather DOS attacks but still have the service functional requires another system or likely set of systems in front of the service that can handle the DOS issues. I say this just to point out that circuit breakers aren't really for this case, because no system can on its own handle a full-on DOS flood, no matter what code you write, when the DOS flood may literally be coming in at a speed where it is faster than you can even reject connections, let alone do any work.
