To play devils advocate here: the best camera is the one you have with you, and computational photography does mean you can just push a button without thinking and get a clear picture that captures a memory.

It’s obviously an argument to say that Apple shouldn’t get to choose how your memories are recorded, but I know I’ve captured a lot more moments I would’ve otherwise missed because of just how automatic phone cameras are.

There’s a place for both kinds of cameras IMO.
And that’s running the particular op repeatedly, so in practice it’s an even rarer event. However with “millions of them in the wild” it doesn’t matter. Scaling is tough.
I have been forced to use IE for some internal apps when I was working in investment banking. It's not that bad.
a wall can't be destroyed but can attack like a unit, but it must have reinforcements from another unit behind your lines. So the strategy is to prevent your enemies from being able to make walls by placing your units strategically, and if they do make walls to interrupt their supply lines so they can't attack anymore.
Does it say anywhere what this is based on? Is it based on some index of 'genres' associated with artists or something? Some spotify/apple index or something they absorbed?
Brandon Rhodes has made such a wonderful contribution to the aerospace and python fields with Skyfield, pyephem, his port of sgp4, and astropy. Really wonderful helpful stuff.
This looks amazing, I'll have to play around with this over the weekend.

I regularly hand transcribe RPG PDFs scans from dubious sources that have not always been run through OCR to have selectable text. If it has, it wasn't always done very well.

It's literally faster to type it all myself than fix all the errors from copy-pasting (or after using OCR to turn it into text).

Even if the file was an official PDF the formatting would often get screwed up with lots of double or triple spaces and even tabs included between words.

This would save so much time if I can get it to work. Thanks for sharing!
Interest rates are based solely on the rate set by the Fed. Find me an interest rate not pegged to the Fed rate in some way, as opposed to GDP.
I dont think OpenAI is ever going to ahead in image generation, they were lapped very soon after dall-e and every real workflow Ive seen uses Midjourney or Stable Diffusion. The reverse (GPT 4 vision) is well ahead of open source though
Sure but even a 300hp 335i or WRX has more than enough poke for this use case.

Il recente build di anteprima di Windows 11 dal Canale Dev ha introdotto una modifica significativa: la sostituzione del pulsante "Mostra desktop" con l'icona di Copilot, l'assistente alimentato da intelligenza artificiale di Microsoft.

Questa mossa potrebbe irritare coloro che erano abituati a utilizzare l'angolo in basso a destra dello schermo per minimizzare tutte le app o mostrare il desktop. Microsoft spiega che la logica dietro questo cambiamento è quella di posizionare l'icona di Copilot in un punto più chiaro e intuitivo, accanto al pulsante del centro notifiche.

L'obiettivo è rendere Copilot più facilmente accessibile, essendo più vicino al punto in cui il sistema operativo mostra il riquadro di Copilot. Di conseguenza, il pulsante "Mostra desktop" è ora disattivato per impostazione predefinita.

Sebbene questa modifica possa creare alcuni disagi per gli utenti abituati al pulsante "Mostra desktop", Microsoft offre una soluzione. È ancora possibile ripristinare il pulsante andando su Impostazioni > Personalizzazione > Barra delle applicazioni > Comportamenti della barra delle applicazioni e attivando l'opzione "Seleziona l'angolo estremo della barra delle applicazioni per mostrare il desktop".

Condividi la tua opinione su questa modifica: cosa ne pensi di avere l'icona di Copilot accanto all'orologio della barra delle applicazioni? Lascia un commento qui sotto.

Per ulteriori dettagli e aggiornamenti su Windows 11, resta aggiornato con le novità di Microsoft.
Normally my disability barely affects my everyday life. But when it comes to data visualization I am often faced with very poorly-thought design as a lot of people really don't care about contrast and so on enough for color-blind folks.

It might be difficult for data to look good and be colour-blind accessible at the same time; but when your goal is to inform people then I think accessibility should take a little priority.

This is a good article, it gives a lot of good example of accessible design that (i presume) still looks really good.

Tesla customers. People who paid $50,000+ for the privilege of owning a Tesla. Being dissatisfied with the performance of the car makes them "Karens"? Gee, I hope you guys remembered to formally excommunicate them from the Church of Musk.

Edit: Ah, I think I see the problem. Have you considered that the range is really important for a vehicle that can only be "refueled" either at home or at a handful of proprietary charging stations? Having a bad range estimate could really fuck up a road trip, especially before the charging network was built out to a reasonable density.

Nobody who's paid 50k for a car wants to limp to the next charger at 45 MPH with the windows rolled down (or worse, run out of power) because the manufacturer couldn't (or didn't want to) make a realistic range estimate.
If you listen to any kind of underground dance/dj-related music, I never saw the need for any of these recommendation engines/databases. Radio, recorded sets, dj mixes are always the unbeatable curation. It's kind of the whole point.
The original is leagues behind anything current, but DALL-E version 3 absolutely blows any state of the art generative model out of the water, including mid journey 5.2 and SDXL in terms of pure prompt accuracy and coherence.

Midjourney still has the edge in quality, but it's a moot point if it takes you 1000 v-rolls to get to your original vision.

If all you're generating is anime waifus then MJ/NovelAI/Niji will suffice, but generating prompts particularly featuring relatively complex scenes or actions are amazing on DALL-E 3.

And of course unfortunately, it goes without saying that open AI DALL-E is going to be the most restrictive in terms of censorship.

I generated these from DALL-E 3 instantly. Try to generate them in any other commercial offering. Go ahead. I'll wait...

At the same time, if LLMs are based on all or enough human writings then don't they necessarily contain a theory of mind? A rather general, smoothed out and still neurotic one probably. But still just like an LLM can't be expected to have a specific knowledge of hydraulics, it also has read more hydraulics than even experts might be expected to. That's the entire issue about it, right? This issue of "is most of our mind basically just mixing and matching stuff we have seen, read, heard?" Do humans have some magical theory of mind that somehow stands ASIDE from all the "normal" learned stuff?

Of course, yes, we do know one thing that's missing in LLMs, which is "loop and helpers" like you describe. Which I'm sure many people are currently hacking at - one way being for the LLM to talk to itself.

But as for "a theory of mind", if enough writings served as input, then LLMs do have plenty of that.

Another question is whether LLMs are raised to behave like humans (which might be where they most NEED some theory of mind). Of course not. The ones we know most about are only question answerers. The theory of mind they might have (that is not negated by the lack of loop and internal deliberation) may be overwhelmed by the pre- and post-processing: "no sex, no murder plots, talk to the human like they are 5, bla bla bla". And yet you can ask things like "Tell it like you are speaking to 5 year olds who want to have a fun time". Some theory of mind makes it through.
It's solved with constantly taking pictures into a ring buffer, either compensating for the touchscreen lag automatically or letting you select the best frame manually with a slider after the shot. Most cameras can do that (if you disable the best frame auto-selection).
I always hit all crosswalk buttons, even if I'm not crossing, because it's nonsense that pedestrians have to ask permission to cross the street while the lights always change for drivers.

The world will be fair when drivers have to get out of their cars and push a button to get a green light, while pedestrians automatically get a walk signal every cycle.

After 50 years of that it'll be even, and we can go to a system where everyone gets their turn automatically.

It would be nice if the author would at least publish the .gif file. I want to dig into this.
Presumably it can charge either at 400V or 800V depending on the charger it's plugged into. But I think you're right, Ultium is still a 400V drive architecture versus this being an 800V drive architecture.
Interesting. I recognize that lit-html is much more lightweight than React and others but personally I really like to avoid any magic at all and I like being forced to pass strings between components. It reminds me of an Alan Kay quote about OOP "The big idea is messaging". You want your components to be passing around messages, not state. This seems to go against FP philosophy but I've found that it really works for OOP. After all, OOP is traditionally about state encapsulation and prioritizing concern boundaries over logic/state boundaries as in FP.

Note that it's still possible to pass complex objects to native we components but only imperatively via properties so it's a lot higher friction (as it should be).

This is an interesting idea — variable vesting based on milestones. It would be a great way to reduce risk, though of course there are issues that could arise that would make this complicated. For example, if the technical person vests based on hitting certain product-related goals, does he get penalized if part of the dev team gets hired by another company, which makes it harder for him to hit the milestones? Or for the non-technical cofounder, if the economy goes into a tailspin, and it's much harder to make sales than the cofounders anticipated, should he not vest, even if he's doing everything he can?

But overall, I think this is a really intriguing idea. Points could be assigned for what each founder is bringing to the table (concrete idea, market research, cash), and they would get some vested stock for that. Then the rest of the founder's shares could be put into a pool and vested to particular founders that hit their milestones. You wouldn't want to make it too adversarial, but it's possible the benefits of incentive alignment would overcome the downsides of the zero-sum game thinking that the system could engender.
Absolutely. But only about less than like 100ms worth at best.

The total latency of shutter + computational photography + save to disk is not greater than the time between her moving from one pose to another.

So the artefacts you would expect to see if this whole pipeline was out of sync was both poses stitched on top of each other in the mirror. Not multiple ones in different mirrors. And definitely not with the whole image as clean as this.
I love those "throw tickets over a wall" jobs and it's the most common workflow I've been accustomed to. They tend to be very straightforward with what is expected of you and I get to avoid most of the noise of infrastructure and deployment pipelines.

The crux of the problem is still a people-related one- job interviews. I get interviews but no offers, failing at various steps in the process.

And past experiences appear to show that I am incapable of learning how to interview properly. Interviews are the opposite of straightforward and I have a learning deficiency with most things interview-related.
I used to keep a powershot digital elph in my pocket whenever I left the house. TBH I took way more pictures with it. I could blindly turn it on and snap a picture while driving, without ever taking my eyes off the road. There's no way in the world I could do that with an iphone lol. I mean, I suppose if I happened to hit the bottom right corner button and then used the volume button maybe? Maybe. It's way more likely I'd cock it up lol.

I really wish someone would make an alternate frontend for nextcloud. The backend is pretty solid from what I can tell, but the web UI is basically unusable.

I kept upgrading the server because I thought the abysmal performance was a backend bottleneck. But no, if I turn on profiling in my browser, I can see it taking geologic ages to do... Whatever it's doing. The server is mostly idle just waiting for the browser to respond.

It's almost impressive how bad it is.

Motorsports enthusiasts look at Nürburgring lap times. The Porsche 911 is at the highest level of performance on any track where you actually have to use the brakes and steering wheel. If the Cybertruck can do a good lap on the Nürburgring then its "FAST", but it probably isn't, due to weight.
The 911 is not built for drag racing, it's built for a track with corners where you have to use the brakes and steering wheel.

In terms of pure drag racing the Cybertruck is a loser. Top Fuel dragsters can do 0 to 60 in ~0.8 seconds and can do a quarter mile in less than 5 seconds. There's no comparison here.

But the Cybertruck has an insane amount of torque, 10x beyond the equivalent ICE vehicle. It can tow, that's for sure.
The problem with crosswalks in North America is primarily cultural…

If a driver sees me walking in the crosswalk and notices that our paths will intersect, he speeds up.

Everyone does it and everyone accepts the behavior —- it has become so ingrained within driving culture that no one questions how insane it is to try to speed past a guy pushing a stroller to shave six seconds off of a trip.

Of course, people respond to incentives, so we shouldn’t blame individuals for operating within the constraints they inherited. Traffic calming is the way to fix this problem but as long as we as a culture never ask drivers to make trade offs for pedestrians, we will always be stuck driving everywhere and forcing people to ask permission to cross the road.

The problem with the button is this - too many intersections are built for cars and not people. The car is there “by default” and the pedestrian must ask permission to enter their realm. If there is a place which requires pedestrians to ask permission to enter a road which is dominated by fast moving cars…something has gone very wrong.
I think purists are fine with it as long as you can turn it off.

May I ask what a non-technical founder should look for in a technical co-founder?

I have two customers for slightly different businesses. The deals are made, I am building MVP's myself and JVing with established tech companies to get products to market.

I have a supply chain with a 30% cost advantage with customers.

and

I have a hardware software system that significantly improves hire businesses that has customers and development partnerships with research organisations and funding applications in progress.

Both have customers and large B2B growth potential.

I am building the MVP's myself while selling and JVing as necessary but would happily partner equally with a technical expert in Microsoft365 and PostgreSQL and PostGIS.

I'm an expert in business design and love technology without being talented or experienced building it. Someone with a business mind and opinions plus the technical skills to build an MVP and hire a technology team would be perfect. I can license my way to market but it will a clunkier more painful start. If I could work with someone who has deep experience with making microsoft365 work smoothly, for small volumes of data and a small number of users initially, then they would add value to both businesses instantly.

My question is should I grind through this myself with JV's where needed using architects on contract for the tricky bits and build the technical knowledge to be a really good technical work partner enabling recruitment of a better technical co-founder or should I recruit the best technical-cofounder I can and get on with growing the businesses.

I would happily take a smaller salary from cashflow than a technical co-founder initially, recognising their market value remuneration as soon as the business is able - likely early year 2. I would even consider technical guidance/mentoring for some equity if someone was interested.

And I know you are supposed to focus on one thing at a time but the software for the two business systems is similar, and I have systems and people to drive the sales and management for both so will offering a technical-co founder 2 bites at 2 potential rapid growth businesses make them think they were increasing or reducing their odds of success?

What questions would I ask to make sure the partnership will be enjoyable for the technical co-founder?

Are there any books/experts on keeping technical co-founders happy?
It's honestly better than this on all fronts, since you can get ProRAW out of recent iPhones even in the default camera app and get RAW without DeepFusion out of different alternative camera apps.

I think I had to spend ~$1k to get my first DSLR with RAW support back in the 2000s. Adjusted for inflation, Halide + a recent iPhone feels like a pretty good deal.
nice work! It makes sense that a company that works with postgres would make the lib_postgres adapter.

There are many libcluster adapters already, so what pushed Supabase to make a database backed one? What is the advantage?

> Postgres LISTEN and NOTIFY commands with Postgrex

I know Supabase has hooks (https://supabase.com/docs/guides/database/webhooks) so is the hope to leverage that tech to trigger something whenever a new node connects?

---

This is just a feature idea (and perhaps if I have time I'll draw up a PR), but since most folks interacting with Supabase are using Phoenix/Ecto already so it would be nice to configure it with a Repo module and/or database_url rather than a keyword list.
On the other hand gpt model are converging down. Gpt4 turbo degraded performance so much that now certain 13b produce more consistent results in reasoning. I've a marathon test here for example https://chat.openai.com/share/dfd9b9ae-7214-4dd7-ad20-7ee07a... with purposefully open ended and somewhat ambiguous request to see how models perform and gpt4 turbo chat is just not that good it confuses persons out, didn't pick the right one for abduction, didn't change topic when requested, when recalling persons picked the one from the wrong set, when asked to change language it didn't... It know a lot when asked zero shot questions, but when proving it's self consistency and attention it is nowhere near gpt4.
My issue with this has nothing to do with purism, but with how often the results are just no good, for reasons that have nothing to do with the sensor, but the choices of whatever model they run. Does it take a picture at night? Yes, but it's often unrecognizable compared to what my own sensor, my eyes, sees. It's not a matter of a slightly better reality, but the camera making choices about how light should go that have nothing to do with the composition in front of it.

You might remember an article about how there are many situations where the iphone just takes bad portraits, because its idea of what good lightning is breaks down. 5 year old phones often take pictures I like more than one of the latest phones, and not because the hardware was better, but because the tuning is just bad.

Fun things also happen when you take pictures of things that are not often in the model: Crawlspaces, pipes, or, say, dentistry closeups. I've had results that were downright useless outside of raw mode, because computational photography step really had no idea of what it was doing. It's not that the sensors are limited, but that the things that the iphone does sometimes make the picture far worse than in the past, when it took fewer liberties.
Fever has tradeoffs: it kills most pathogens but it also does small amounts of permanent damage to brain, nerve, lung and marrow tissue. Far better to eradicate the pathogens before they enter the body, wherever that strategy is feasible to carry out.
