Choice. If I'm using a digital camera I can take 20+ shots of any subject, but then I get to choose which to keep.

If cameras don't give you the option for "reality" you're just left with whatever they choose for you no matter how many pictures you take.
No, they factor in the cost of charging, both at home and at a supercharger, when they calculate estimated gas savings.
I do not love the ideological turn 37signals took after the DEI blow-up. But this piece is as ideological and blinkered as DHH's affirmative action posts have been. It's nice to want things, I know, but: I wish I could have had this piece just as a dry list of ways in which 37signals has waded, unbidden, into culture war topics, without the piece itself staking out the opposite sides of all those issues.

How does that not turn into making a technically-separate legal entity with just the product as an asset and no employees that's wholly owned by a parent company that it also buys development contracts for the product from?
Maybe it's more "within the creative community in Chicago". The Chicago digital creative community felt fairly small back in the early 2000s and everyone kinda had stories and opinions on everyone else.

Grammarly is an ipso facto security hole that is extremely likely to be pwned or controlled outright by a number of state security services. It should be treated like malware.
If not already, I expect examples like this will be accumulated and trotted out as part of legal defenses. Valid or not, gross examples like this will probably nudge some judges and juries over their threshold for reasonable doubt. AI manipulations are happening and their bounds can be hard to predict.

I have found this to be terrifically difficult. I went to the trouble of going through Tom Waits' discography to find something similar to "Alice," without luck. Some of my best mixes take years to create.

The problem, to me, breaks down into three separate difficulties, perhaps three and a half:

First, if the Music Genome people are correct, the number of variables (if you will) is quite large, creating an enormous search space. I grant an extra half to the concept that portions of that search space would be sparsely populated. We are getting pretty good at searching these kinds of spaces (something I would like to know more about).

Second, each person has a different idea of what similarity entails. For some it is instrumentation. Others, production value. Some are looking for lyrical subject similarity. And so forth. And most people are very much "I'll know it when I hear it," unable to really qualify that similarity function. It requires quite a bit of introspection, meta-cognition, and a good vocabulary to really describe what that target is. Right now, we're bad at that and have a bad habit of just throwing everything in a bucket. As an example, I might like some music with a fast tempo for some mood, but I might also like "darkjazz" (a microgenre which more or less collapsed about seven or so years back). Most recommender systems would then pick out some fast, "hot" jazz, which I absolutely do not want, but it has the tempo of some things I do like and the genre of something else I like.

Third, the process of assigning values to said variables was quite labor intensive when they were doing it, as well as subjective. Highly trained musicians spending half an hour on each song (which means that, with that many variables, while the time seems long, the examination must be cursory). It would really be something to make progress in this area and I think it might be the most fruitful. However, I think any real progress in this area might mean you would need a corpus of at least a hundred thousand songs human-rated, each by multiple evaluators, then programs written for each of the, say 450 genes (if we are to use the Music Genome Project). Finally, the programs would be tweaked until they aligned with the ratings given by humans.

It's one of those things I would fund if I were an eccentric billionaire.
I wrote the palm pre version that was available at launch. I had 86k downloads on launch day while watching district 9. I didn't think of or know how to do mobile ads, and apparently missed out on a very nice payday according to the other launch app (poker/blackjack). I did write the app while at a bar so whatever.
A great thing about Lem is that he has written in (the style of) so many genres. The third column in this table on Polish wiki illustrates this rather well: https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lista_pierwszych_wyda%C5%84_dz...

There's sci-fi of course, but also crime fiction, "realistic" fiction, philosophy essays. Further, something not easily gleaned from the table is that his sci-fi can be humorous, horror-y, thriller-y, book-for-kids-y, etc.

ads. It's a preemption attack by the current ad networks (mainly Facebook).
They don't purport to do so. 37signals went way out of their way to confront their customer base with their political takes, and did so not as individual statements of people who happened to be in leadership roles at the firm, but as the firm itself. I don't know that it's going to cost them many customers in the long run, but with respect to the customers they do lose, the saying holds: play stupid games...
It does seem surprising that easily disprovable nonsense, as in discoverable after 30 seconds of searching, got 28 upvotes.

So Meta is basically selling these headsets at the loss or near loss, IIUC, hoping to make it up on building network effect, tech and the store fees, as usually these sorts of hardware platforms do, and then Valve comes in and effectively hijacks the platform turning it into an accessory for the SteamDeck.

As someone that happens to own both (I love the SteamDeck, think as a VR a gimmick) I need to try it out soon.

In our case, we're growing via adoption of our first generation core product. I could definitely make a second version, but it wouldn't help overcome the primary challenge we face with adoption, which is that the technology looks unconventional, and isn't well-enough known yet. Making a more complicated version wouldn't help with this, and might not even improve the efficacy. It would also require internationalization, whereas our current version is language agnostic.

So it's not that we won't ever create a newer version, just that it's not the primary focus.
Wasn't TRAPPIST-1 similar? I've been confused at how much attention this has gotten as a result.

Block cloning happened to expose this bug easier, but it seems like this bug might actually date back to the very beginning of ZFS with Sun, with the opportunities to trigger it being so rare, that nobody had noticed until now.

I suppose it's still a bad bug, but it goes to show that file systems are complicated beasts, practically impossible to test all the ways they can be put through the wringer, and bugs like this can hide for 17 years before being unearthed.

I don't understand the appeal of a massive electric truck. Why won't someone make a Bugatti model 39, with electric hub motors and 200km of range. I would have that as a daily driver any day.
Is that because it's actually better, or because it's more likely to be what they want to hear?
I've been aware of the advice that it's better to rely on good referrals for a better chance at getting jobs than applying en masse so I know what you mean.

But at this point in life, I lost interest in finding deep connections with the majority of people I meet.

My network rarely tells me about jobs. But honestly I don't expect them to. Computing technology is very foreign to the close people in my life and I don't expect them to know much of what my professional needs are. I don't really go out of my way to help others- I am a recluse after all- unless you can count keeping them company for a while as "helping".

I hang out with friends very sparingly and don't expect them to help out with a referral. I barely know anyone working in my field and my only friend that worked in tech left mid-career and became a landlord.

Cold applying to local jobs on Craigslist from small places has historically been my most reliable source for jobs. More reliable than any recruiters, other job boards, or professional contacts (which have been 0% success with them).

Despite the low reputation CL has, it has treated me the best out of the possible sources I've tried. I'm not saying they are quality jobs, but they are jobs. I am impoverished, however and only reason I'm not homeless is savings and a free ride from the government.
There's a huge difference between someone intentionally altering an image according to their wishes and someone not even aware of changes that have been done.

Before, forensic experts could decide if an image had been altered in photoshop, but I guess the only sane conclusion now is that anything taken with an iphone is fake and untrustworthy.

Interesting comment, I don't think anyone does just look at Steve Jobs as a prime example he founded Apple at 21 with Wozniak, he didn't have any idea of how to start a company, but he knew he would regret never starting one in the first place. A few YC unicorn's have been started by people who were 19, or even 20 but age isn't the primitive factor to a business success it's execution and innovation.

It's not really the same at all in practice though. With steer by wire you can get the lock to lock literally as little as you like - 150 degrees at low speed lock to lock in the Lexus system for example. In theory it could go from one extreme to the other in a single degree, its just software, although obviously no one sane would implement this. Active Steering on BMWs doesn't get remotely close to 150 degree low speed lock to lock.
Not so much. FIRE promotes freedom of association. If the library was disciplined for making this decision, you might expect to see FIRE get involved.
Small Go Library that Adds Vue.js Reactivity

Yes: https://www.motortrend.com/features/most-fuel-efficient-pick...

Starts with Ridgeline and Tacoma at 21mpg, Tundra at 22, Ranger at 23, Gladiator at 24, RAM 1500 and F-150 at 25, Silverado and Sierra at 26.

> 20 seems pretty fair.

How do you get "chooses a number that is 5% less than the worst, and 25% less at best" as a "fair" comparison point?

The average of those vehicles is actually 23.8mpg. To me a comparison should be "somewhere in the middle of the table", not "coming last".
This only applies to specific firms, and no one else. That's hardly typical.

Arguably it violates international agreements Canada has signed, as they essentially agreed to a level playing field for local and international firms.

The more the employer/employee relationship is comoditized, the more benefits need to be decoupled from the employee and the employer.

Health insurance is a bit complicated but stuff like 401k/hsa/ira etc should easily be decoupled since there are already solo 401ks etc. I should be able to dump 19.5k/3.8k at the beginning of each year and be done with it without doing the whole song and dance.
No, dynamic loading is actually the norm for most environments. Anything JIT compiled or with "hot reloading" has some kind of dynamic loader under the hood.

The problem with shared libraries is that they're shared, of course. But this isn't the flaw it seems, it solves two issues: disk space and updates. You want programs to have their dependencies updated after they've been compiled, especially for security. The problem is that security updates are too often coupled with breakages, so whether or not a dependency update requires a recompile or patch is indeterminate and not a problem the loadable object format nor the loader can solve (it's a human problem, not a technical one). You also want shared things to be deduplicated intelligently. But rarely is that the case.

The bigger problem is that there's a lot of C/C++ code in the world and they are not designed to allow multiple versions of the same library to be linked into the same address space. This is not an unsolveable problem, except by the design of C/C++ linkers that enforce it on us.

The real unfortunate thing is that linkage is a fundamental algorithm in compilers and loaders are a fundamental piece of systems programming that people don't really dig into anymore to understand their flaws, and there's been little innovation (or wont for innovation) in years because people consider the problem solved.
It's a system that changes the ratio of the steering wheel rotation to the wheel angle dynamically while still mechanically linking the wheels to the steering wheel. It does not have the same parameters as Lexus system but many other things differ between BMWs and Lexuses too.
Price is also a disqualifier, imo. A battery replacement on a Lightning is $30k and the battery is warrantied for 8 years or 100K miles. How long the batteries last after the warranty expires I think will have a big impact on an already more expensive truck.

The reason I bought a Tacoma was because I have six feet of bed area, ~7k lbs towing, and 4x4. The general utility of the truck meant it could tackle most things I needed to do.
Note that dynamic control from the client-side over what is synced is currently supported to an extent via token parameters from the client, and this will potentially be expanded in the future.

> You mention using a flag column, but wouldn’t that mean that you’re generating writes for reads to update that flag/timestamp?

There may be other ways to solve this, but the solution that came to mind was:

- Set a "last accessed at" timestamp on the client when the user opens a specific item. This would sync to Postgres.

- Have a recurring task on the server-side that updates items in Postgres based on "last accessed at" and sets a flag that causes an item to be de-synced for that user once the elapsed time exceeds some threshold

Persistent local-only columns are not currently supported. Local-only tables are currently supported.
Surprised you were downvoted because this doesn't sound right at all.

The poses would be at least a few seconds apart which rules out anything in Apple's computational photography pipeline e.g. focus and dynamic range stacking. At least based on what they have communicated to date.

We know Google demonstrated an AI model that was capable of selecting human parts from multiple photos but that was a showcase feature not something quietly added.
So use a non-mobile device with this feature. Nobody is forcing you to use the camera. You know what the camera does, but then continue to use it, and then complain about it doing exactly what you knew it would do. Doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result has a name
You do 80% of the functionality with 20% of the required code and pretend that this is what the project manager asked for. Likely they'll never notice the missing bits which may have seemed like a good idea at the time .If they insist you do 80% of what remains with another 20% of the code.

But with some luck your project managers' butterfly mind will have flitted on to greener pastures and everybody is happy. No need for Grug to reach for his club (while remaining calm).
There's no annual fee so I'm not sure why someone would regret getting it. I've had it for about 3 years and use it for 3% back at Apple and Walgreens. It does the job.

It really shined on an international vacation about 2 years ago. Where Amex wasn't accepted the no-foreign-transaction-fee Mastercard was very useful.

When I applied they would only do a hard pull on an applicant's credit if they were approved. If that's still the case then I would definitely apply, even just for the thick metal card and the future long-standing line of credit.
> Is it 100% pixel perfect to what was happening at the time? No, but I also don’t care.

No photographer thinks images the they get on film are perfect reflections of reality. The lens itself introduces flaws/changes as does film and developing. You don't have to be a purist to want the ability to decide what gets captured or to have control over how it looks though. Those kinds of choices are part of what make photography an art.

In the end, this tech just takes control from you. If you're fine with Apple deciding what the subject of pictures should be and how they should look that's fine, but I expect a lot of people wont be.
Is there a reason not to just install Linux (and dual boot into windows if you need it for some things)?

I suppose if it’s a work laptop they might not be too pleased with this.
Yes I am aware. That uses corosync and is fine if you are running a few servers in one location with large data pipes between them. That is only part of what is needed to compete with vmware (and xcpng/xen orchestra for that matter). The missing piece is the management software to tie multiple clusters together across different physical locations for administration and (ideally live) vm migration.
> Today, losing material is rather inexcusable, given the cheapness and ease of digital storage.

It's not that easy; you can't just put a hard drive or SSD in a safe and expect it will work after 20 or 50 years. If anything it's harder and more expensive today, because you can do that with a reel of tape (it does degrade, but much slower).

The main thing that's changed it that people realized there things are actually useful to keep around. Much of the stuff that was erased or thrown out was done just because people didn't think anyone would care.

Scenario: It's a decade from today and phones are not just stitching together multiple photos but also using generative AI. Apple and all of the other phone makers insist the implementation is safe. The suspect appears in the photo doing something they never actually did. In the chaos of the crime, the phone was left at the crime scene where it was found by law enforcement, no chance the photo could have been photoshopped. The photo is shown as evidence in court. Without the photo, there is not enough evidence to convict. The entire case now hinges on the content of the photo. The suspect insists they never did what is shown in the photo, but it doesn't matter. The suspect is convicted, put on death row, and executed by the state. Thankfully, there is a silver lining: everyone's photos are a couple percent prettier, which helped bring more value to shareholders.
