That's why I also added a (or lower). I do not know what a safe driving speed would be. I just know its way less than the 100 KMpH that roads are usually designed for. Driving speed should be about equal to a leisurely human-powered bicycle speed. Or maybe lower since they have more mass, but no one's gonna agree to that. (Maybe that's a good thing?)
I have never seen the word "externist" before.
>disrespectful to Miura's legacy

You mean highest form of flattery? Literally participating and reflecting, trying to recreate and reinterpret is how humans integrate, show acceptance, make it part of themselves and culture. His art is not sacred, nor is it absolutely original, nor is it made in isolation from the world. Miura's legacy is sharing his reinterpretation of whatever. For it to exist there must be less elitist underground bunkers full of sacred IP which we unable to think about, discuss and share our interpretations of.

I don't recall using a dictionary in a safety-critical context recently but I'm keen to hear some examples.
Kind of funny, but I have seen code that is indeed read more than is run, at least for the first year or two of its existence. Code that is used for generating batch reports for some billing process would run once a month. But I had to spend a lot of time staring at it, wondering what is going on, and fixing things up as reports came in.

One could say that the test runs were run more than the code was read (of course), but in production? Definitely the same order of magnitude for a long time.
> Not sure about “scramble” in this context

It is a well accepted phrase too: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedestrian_scramble

I hope it was. The only time I see the Hummer EV mentioned is when people are trying to make EVs look bad (e.g. "a hybrid weighs less than the Hummer EV battery alone!!!").

It's a super weak argument, but still.

> We have something similar to self driving cars. Taxis and other public transport!

No we don't. Taxis are not a solution because they are INCREDIBLY dirty. You might as well be riding on train-cars worth of coal.

And public transit is worse, because it's inevitably slow and inflexible.

Edit: taxis are expensive not because they are cars, but because they need dedicated drivers. And here in the US even taxi drivers earn a somewhat liveable salary, and as a result they have a huge carbon footprint. But if you're OK with semi-slave labor, then it can work, agreed.
Well you can customise it with the brother printer. Brother itself registers your unique email id against your registered device, hence it has to be globally unique.
> But that's not true even for most of the very dense Manhattan!

I do not know Manhattan. I do not live in Manhattan. I live in India. I have lived in my hometown, and in Delhi and Hyderabad (two very big cities). I can only talk about the specific areas within those cities. I can definitely buy ice cream within 5 minutes of walking. And not even fast walking.
This seems like an excellent argument for robot overlords - at least eventually.
The classical optical camera does not capture anything. It is a light sealed box, with a pinhole for a lens. As an optical system, it interacts with electromagnetic waves that go through it, that's the only 'reality' you can really care about.

What captures an image is an imaging surface; traditionally a chemical emulsion on a piece of film, now a complex array of digital sensors.

This imaging surface is of human design, it therefore images what its designers designed it to image. But don't forget that it is a sampling of reality; by definition always partial, and biased (biased to the 400~700 nm range, for starters).
> Any construction in a dense city becomes expensive.

Dude, that's literally the point I'm trying to make. Thank you.

No indicators on the unit itself, but the opposite side normally only has the red man light illuminated if you've pressed it doesn't it, and no light at all if it needs to be pressed and hasn't?

At least that's the way it is here in NZ, and when I've been in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane I haven't obviously noticed a general difference to here in NZ (there are particular crossings that are sometimes a bit different, i.e. you never need to press, but)...
> I can get my 10k a day steps in a nice sprawl with shady tree lanes much easier than in Manhattan.

Are you allowed to have shady trees on road sides? I would think that they would be disallowed since they block visibility and force drivers to slow down.
Fast Cloud Native Java Serialization:Fury JIT and GraalVM Native Image AOT
Graal Native Image is a technology to compile Java code ahead-of-time to a lightweight native binary executable, which has the advantages of smaller resources, starts in milliseconds, no warmup needed, and reduce attack surface. The serialization in graalvm is tricky and slow since it doesn't support reflection, jit, and bytecode manipulation. Many performance optimization can't be applied in graalvm.

In Fury 0.4.0 version, Fury can run on GraalVM native image efficiently and is easy-to-use. Neither reflection nor meta config are needed. Fury generates all code for Fury JIT framework and MethodHandle/LambdaMetafactory at graalvm native image build time. Then use those generated code for serialization at runtime without any extra cost, the performance is great.

This is a big stepp for jvm serialization, please give it a try and share us with your feedbacks

> You cannot undo each and every effect.

Fair enough.

> Polarizing filters

Yeah, I see it. This one is as pure signal removal as it comes in analog world. And they can, indeed, drop significant information - not just reflections, but also e.g. by blacking out computer screens - but they don't introduce fake information either, and lost information could in principle be recovered -- because in reality, everything is correlated with everything else.

> But yes, I agree that computational photography offers a different kind of reality distortion.

A polarizing filter or choice of photographic paper won't make e.g. shadows come out the wrong way. Conversely, if you get handed a photo with wrong shadows, you not only can be sure it was 'shopped, but could use those shadows and other details to infer what was removed from the original photo. If you tried the same trick with computational photograph, your math would not converge. The information in the image is no longer self-consistent.

That's as close as I can come up to describing the difference between the two kinds of reality distortion; there's probably some mathematical framework to classify it better.
UI - as in it refuses to behave as a native app in any way and they obviously don't care. For instance, it ignores system zoom levels etc. - very high DPI screen + old man eyes means I have everything slightly zoomed so that I can read it, the UI text in Figma is so small I have to physically move to actually read it.

> That's probably because it's a vector and ensuring cross-app compatibility frankly isn't something that Figma (or any other program like Sketch) will place high on their todo list because designers generally stay in 1 tool.

This is just wrong. As I mentioned further down, a complex UI element with vector shapes and text on it can be perfectly copied and pasted between Sketch, Affinity Designer / Publisher / Photo, or even Pixelmator - I'm fairly sure it's just postscript in the paste buffer. Lord knows what is actually getting stored in the pasteboard when you copy from Figma, but whatever it is there's a 1/100 chance of you being able to paste it anywhere. If you copy as SVG it produces an abomination with all the text as paths.

The Figma -> Affinity Designer -> Sketch flow is just to get stuff into an app that doesn't behave in a completely alien way to every other app.
I agree with you in principle, but pressing the button eagerly like that can have downsides. You press the button, the pedestrian light goes green, then somebody walking 100 meters behind you who actually wants to cross just misses the light and has to wait longer.

The only unambiguous win (I think) would be for the light to change immediately when you press the button, with the throttling delay afterwards, as a few others have said in this thread.

I wish I knew whether traffic signal designers intentionally don't use that design, or whether it simply doesn't occur to them. (Or is there some downside to that design?)
If Chrome is able to generate a crash-report, nothing would prevent you to intercept it.

> Unfortunately, with access to neither the Chrome source code [...]

I mean, it's still very possible to debug (especially with the fact in mind that Chromium is open-source, and for me has been a very useful source when reverse-engineering and debugging Chrome), but I understand why web developers would not be trained in reverse-engineering techniques.
Tiny homes are a vanity driven "false solution". It's massively easier (for the homeless and the tax payer) by simply building programs that prevent homelessness.

In fact there's an entire cottage industry around taking public money, shuffling it through a hundred non-profits, resulting in a few pathetic sheds. (I'm looking at you SF).

If you directly assist people who are at risk of becoming homeless, there's no room for your political cronies to get a kickback.

Not sure what the Brazilian bureaucracy landscape is like, but if it's anything like western Europe, I'd be wishing for tools that shape us to write less ordinance. That is: there frequently isn't a lack of ordinance, but a lack of capacity to do something meaningful with the high volume of documents. And the disconnect between paperwork and reality.
It's trying to compete against a CV joint and gear box.

That seems like an easier sell.

I'm not sure if we're talking past each other but you wouldn't need an axle to deflect. The motor drive could attach directly to the 'uni wheel' which is in turn connected directly to the wheel. If you're talking about the motor drive shaft, then surely you'd just be moving thrust bearings from the gearbox to the motor (if motors don't already have them)
>and then Valve comes in and effectively hijacks the platform turning it into an accessory for the SteamDeck

That's kind of missing the point. The point of the Quest is that it's a self contained gaming console inside a headset similar to a Steamdeck you can put on your face, making the purchase price of a whole VR setup lower(many Quest buyers don't also have a gaming PC)

And also streamlining the VR experience where you just put the Quest on your face and you're instantly in the game, you take it off throw it on the couch and everything's paused ready to be immediately resumed when you put it back on next time, no need to fiddle with cable tethers that limit your 360 mobility, and launching apps from your PC and taking care to save/load everything externally and fiddling with graphics drivers, the whole hassle of maintaining a gaming PCs, etc.

The Quest did to VR gaming what Steam and SteamDeck did to PC gaming: streamline the game purchasing and playing experience for the casual users.

Skyfield is very cool. For my wedding, I wanted to give my groomspeople personalised thank you gifts. The idea I came up with was to find or ask for precise dates significant to them each (their own anniversaries, birthdays, special events...) and convert that into an abstraction of the relative positions of the planets on that day using Skyfield: https://imgur.com/l7G0att (and with the moon's orbit if they wanted: https://imgur.com/CYqfLR4).

I then got them engraved onto cufflinks https://imgur.com/bhxJVGo

They were super happy with the result, and we all looked great on the day. I wonder if there's a market for these but it feels a little niche, I'm glad skyfield exists to help projects like these.
Dude. Did you read the rest of my comment? It is obviously expensive to spend 100U (some hypothetical unit since I don't wanna waste time looking for the exact numbers) instead of 10U. But it is more expensive when each one of a 1000 people have to spend that 10U rather than all of those 1000 people contributing 0.1U to get 100U total.
At least based on my observations it's been common practice in ML papers for some years already. Usually releasing Github hosted project page and a repository with the same information, then releasing the code on that repo afterwards at some point.

I don't feel that's an issue. A lot more people are able to see what's happening on the bleeding edge than if they'd just release the paper without accompanying demo page, and faster than if they'd wait for the code to be ready for release? Of course one can argue that "they should just release whatever code they have instantly", but that's their choice if they want to clean it up, remove secrets etc.
I drive a small petrol powered MPV. It has a luggage capacity of 710 liters in the trunk with 5 passengers, 160 liters with 7 passengers, or 1900 liters with 2 passengers. Moreover the trunk is square, so I can go to Ikea and buy a whole new kitchen and fit it in the trunk. The cargo loading capacity with 5 adult passengers is 450 kg. It has a towing capacity of 1650 kg. It also has a large roof box. New price was around $30k depending on trim level.

Now show me a modern EV that has similar specs, and you are talking about a large SUV that's up around the $100k price range.

It's a simple fact that while modern EVs are often styled as SUVs, the inside is comparatively tiny since the battery pack takes up a lot of space.

It would be more impressive if it landed back to the nest, which is something we achieved last year in a PoC. That being said, I don’t see any technical specs.. the problem (or advantage however you see it) with drones, is the easy access plus the effectiveness in the “defense” aspect, so that fancy looking drone is useful against fighter jets for example (and definitely cheaper), but you can imagine someone with $200 fpv suicide drone immediately hitting the nest before it even launches, so your drone got droned, and by a cheaper one, with the ability to send a swarm of them launched from some house’s balcony.

Don't worry, I get it. I just think it's a bit daft that the title is now so thoroughly associated with a fairly mechanical part of how the film functions, when it's not only a pre-existing word but also refers to a much more significant idea within the film itself. Plus, the 'rick' of 'brick' sounds a bit like the 'rec' of 'recursion'.

But I think I was a bit harsh in this case, the way the two parts of the game interact is more reminiscent of the dream layers in the film than is often the case with such Inception references.

Mine is a laptop with i7-11800h CPU + RTX 3070 Max-Q 8GB VRAM + 64GB RAM (though you can get probably get away with 16GB RAM). I bought this system for work and causal gaming, and was happy when I found out that GPU also enabled me to run LLMs locally at good performance. This laptop costed me ~= $ 1600, which was a bargain considering how much value I get out of it. If you are not on a budget, I highly recommend getting one of the high end laptops that have RTX 4090 and 16GB VRAM.

With my system, Llama.cpp can run Mistral 7B 8-bit quantized by offloading 32 layers to the GPU (35 total) at about 25-30 tokens/second, or 6-bit quantized by offloading all layers to the GPU at ~ 35 tokens/second.

I've tested a few 13B 4-bit models such as Codellama and got about 10 tokens/second by offloading 37 layers to the GPU. Got me about 10-15 tokens/second.

It seems like the author agrees with you and picked a confusing title for the article. The article ends with a set of equations:

biz ≹ user

The conclusion seems to be that code exists in service to the end-user and the business. The last equation (≹) is a neat way of describing that both end-user and the business are equally important to the existence of the code, even though their needs aren’t the same.

Well for me it looks less like another rant and more like some practical advice preluded with basic introduction:

‘ When trying to track down a ghost like crash, nuke all of the Smart Pointers in the code. Make them raw pointers and delete them when you know it is safe. Prior to the manual delete, put some unique values out there prior to the deletion and be certain to null out the pointer you just deleted. The unique values make it a lot easier to track down which pointer was actually the culprit.
“

With modern attitude of putting ‘Smart’ in front of every primitive automat I usually expect dealing with two dumbs - automat itself and another dumb who is going to relay on it.

The worse part about “Smart” solutions is that now I have to dedicate part of my life for exploring the realm of idiocy that was driving someone else who had made this particular “Smart” device/technology.

Instead of learning how to shift gears in the car and shift them when I need it I need to learn how some builder of automatic gear was thinking “when it is better to shift gears when driver is dumb” . Then (since automatic usually never work as I wish) I have to do mumbo-jambo dance to make it shift gears as I wanted.
Something that was done easily with manual stick already.

Automatic works only when it is really perfectly done which is a rare case . So as a builder of automatic/smart solutions - be modest ! Leave “Manual’ option available. Just in case.

The only thing I usually wish from “Smart” solutions is the option to switch this stupid thing off unless it really works perfectly but even then …
