> I wish there was more information as to how this differs from or improves on Jax.

The quick start guide has an overview.

> The Python API closely follows NumPy with a few exceptions. MLX also has a fully featured C++ API which closely follows the Python API.

The main differences between MLX and NumPy are:

Composable function transformations: MLX has composable function transformations for automatic differentiation, automatic vectorization, and computation graph optimization.

Lazy computation: Computations in MLX are lazy. Arrays are only materialized when needed.

Multi-device: Operations can run on any of the supported devices (CPU, GPU, …)

The design of MLX is inspired by frameworks like PyTorch, Jax, and ArrayFire. A noteable difference from these frameworks and MLX is the unified memory model. Arrays in MLX live in shared memory. Operations on MLX arrays can be performed on any of the supported device types without performing data copies. Currently supported device types are the CPU and GPU.

Fair point! I edited the title.
Yeah it's weird why they picked this as a demo. The model could not identify an everyday item like a rubber duck? And it doesn't understand Archimedes' principle, instead reasoning about the density of rubber?
On the opposite end, I've never used Twitter before Musk's takeover. Now it's my #1 used social app. Incredibly funny, interesting and relevant tweets are on my timeline.

What surprised me was how QUICKLY tiktok died for me! It's so vanilla and boring these days, every second video is some ad of a chinese dude selling me some trinket. It's very strange. Instagram caught up with their reel tech, and instagram is just a wild west of content and comments, love it!
Doesn't iMessage predate WhatsApp for sending data based messages? I recall that being an early selling point.
I think it’s so strange how Pro wasn’t launched for Bard in Europe yet. I thought Bard was already cleared for EU use following their lengthy delay, and that this clearance wouldn’t be a recurring issue to overcome for each new underlying language model. Unless it’s technically hard to NOT train it on your data or whatever. Weird.
> Or, here's an idea, maybe we should use a weighted index of several of those things as a measure

That's done already. More useful: such index as a ratio of wages. Say, [price of standardized basket of commodities] / minimum wage.

That would tell you how many # of paid work needed to (for example) fill a shopping cart with a week's worth of food + heating / powering one's home over that time.

("minimum wage" = applies to folks scraping by in low-paid jobs. Higher earners are living the good life anyway, imho).
Generally TPUs don't beat Nvidia per chip. The real reason Google likes them is they are much cheaper in TCO for Google. Of course they may not decide to pass on all the savings to you.
It basically leverages the Sentry SDKs during development and sends them into a local UI rather than a production Sentry instance. It also shows the data in a way that's more akin to local development.
I don't think there is any one account other than Musk. Twitter is unique to each user and what matters may not matter to you. I'm sure for some people Taylor Swift leaving would be the nail in the coffin, but personally, I couldn't care less (I actually just had to check if she even had a Twitter account before posting).

If Twitter is going to be declared dead, I think it will likely be an avalanche type thing. It won't be any individual account that kills it, but rather a large amount of prominent accounts across multiple parts of our culture.
The problem with community notes is that it requires a quorum of users.

Which it makes it unsuitable for fast paced topics. This has been repeatedly demonstrated.
Oh, I got the reference. They can call it whatever they want, but it is still advertising, and any distinction to the contrary is pointless and misleading.

Unfortunately /embed is not very useful.

Insurance makes sense. It's a different kind of collective action so my brain kind of routed around it. But it's not capital C, capital B Collective Bargaining, so I can see how you'd pretty easily get the one and have more trouble getting the other.

Same, every backend service I write now has the majority of the business logic in SQL and a little pre/post-processing in regular code. A well-designed schema will mean that your queries don't get messy. If some more complex thing starts feeling forced, I add a bit more non-SQL code to make it reasonable.

When teammates look at my code, and logic is all right there instead of scattered around, and there's a schema file backing it all that makes it clear what all the relations are, they have an easy time making tweaks or adding on. Yes it's very testable too.

This also kinda depends on having a multi-service architecture if your system is large. Separate database for each. That's a good thing anyway.
And he's going to keep saying it to tell investors why they should believe Google will eventually catch up in product until Google does catch up in product and he doesn't need to say it anymore.

The sun imparts a certain amount of energy into the earth through tidal forces. We can either capture that energy for our use, or let it heat the Earth (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_heating). The slowdown of the Earth's rotation is the same either way. The paper demonstrates that if you could capture an absurd amount of energy from tides, the earth's rotation would have to slow. But this is vacuously true: you simply can't capture that much energy from tides.
This is a issue with how most potential solutions or languages are marketed, even to experienced developers. They're all sold as silver bullets and every experienced programmer should know that there is no such thing.

A lot of it also stems from what I call 'the hello world problem'. Very simple cases are brought up to sell you on the idea, but it's only in complex scenarios that you really learn the worth of something.

I read this thread and it's not really clear what it's about. It seems to be about the need to mute and block people explicitly. I haven't had to do that much with Mastodon. I had to do it a lot on Twitter, and by all accounts it has gotten much, much worse.

I called the Fediverse a "regression" for a reason. You could lose all your blog posts, too --- there were things that mitigated the risk, just like there are with the Fediverse, but there were no real promises.

My point is, it's a regression back towards a world nerds tend to aver was a kind of golden age of reading and writing online. A lot of the things people now say they appreciate about Twitter are part and parcel of the way Twitter destroyed that golden age. Now we've got it back. I'm surprised at some of the people who aren't overjoyed by this, who I expected would be.
Or even 1%. Neither is shrinking continuously.

There's a cute plugin[0] for Vim which converts any image to XPM, which is a similar format that Vim has syntax-coloring for. You can edit the text, and then on save, it will get converted back to the original format. I've used it a few times to quickly preview an image or edit a favicon. It's more of party trick than seriously useful, though.

Mastodon is awesome.

I wish every government would establish a national instance to deliver public announcements and create channels for easy and fast communication with their citizens.

Large companies should adopt Mastodon as well. People can easily receive news and comment on them.

But none of them will have the best people in ai, and blockchain, and finance, and rockets engineering, and commidians, etc. in a single website to not only deliver the news but also help make sense of it.

Now, it's a real pain to just find the instance that hosts the real account of your favorite multimillion news organization, let alone some world-class expert in a very niche topic that became the topic-du-jour for some reason.

There is literally nothing in possibility of bankruptcy that conflicts with a perpetual license - honoring the license is neither some goodwill that a company may voluntarily abandon if it's in financial hardship, nor something that bankruptcy courts will void.

The relevant consumer rights laws should simply assert that if you sell a license, then it's irrevocable, no matter what your fine print says.

And also there's nothing inherently wrong with temporarily licensed things as long as you make it clear up front. If you're offering a three-year license, that's just as valid as a monthly subscription, but you shouldn't be permitted to sell a license for the period of "as long as I wish".

What a bizarre parallel to the iPhone. No one is buying a $50,000+ car because they want to 'support Elon', who is Top 5 among the world's richest people.

If the freight workers unloading shipping containers containing iPhones choose to strike, it will be due to changes in working conditions that affect them, not what conditions are like in a foreign factory.

“Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.” Vulnerabilities/limitations should be understood and you have every right to determine that TPM+PIN is the minimum control that addresses threats you’ve modeled and reduces risk to a tolerable level, but TPM-only encryption is not pointless. It reduces risk by increasing required attack complexity without impacting usability. That’s enough for a lot of people.

Helsinki, Finland.

Pros: Living in the capital city you don't need a car - a monthly bus-pass covers all the metro/tram/bus trips you need for €50 or so. The city is also very walkable, which is particularly good for children.

If you have children they can go to daycare from 1year old, and the cost of that is subsidized, they start school properly at age of 7 and generally take themselves there (mostly by walking, some might cycle or take a bus).

The cities are safe, the houses are expensive but not out of reach, and renting isn't so bad, most buildings have double/triple glazing and are very well insulated.

Nature is easy to reach, and readily appreciated. Children spend a couple of hours outdoors at school, even in the winters. Also if you do get cold a sauna is a great way to warm up!

Lots of technology companies, relative to the city of the country, and English is frequently the working language.

Cons: The winters get cold, it has been -10°C for the past week, and it will get colder soon enough. The winters are also dark. As a UK-native the language is complex and alien, but willingness to learn and practice is appreciated - the con is that if you struggle to order something in broken Finnish people will usually switch to English, which helps you in the short-term, but screws you over in the long term.

Alcoholism is common, and winter depression, but the alcoholism in Scotland is significantly worse so don't go expecting something crazy.

This is consumption-side growth, not production-side. A similar thing happened with Facebook when it went all-in on algorithmic feeds: engagement went up, but actual organic content production went down.

Ultimately, whether or not you find that distinction interesting depends on how you use the Internet. But much of the demographic that found Twitter fun and useful before 2022 isn't interested in a reskinned Facebook or Instagram, which is what the current site is.
While you are spot on, I cannot avoid thinking of 1996 or so.

I don't know if it's a danger or not.
Yes. For example, https://www.nature.com/articles/nature08500 :

> Using muon spin rotation as a suitable local probe, we apply the method to a real material, the ‘spin ice’ Dy2Ti2O7 (refs 5–8). Our experimental measurements prove that magnetic charges exist in this material, interact via a Coulomb potential, and have measurable currents.

This new paper points out how these monopoles are different, at https://www.nature.com/articles/s41563-023-01737-4

> The reported duality between magnetic charges and topological AFM textures sheds light on a new class of materials hosting 2D monopolar physics in contrast with other systems that harbour emergent magnetic monopoles, such as the pyrochlore spin ice. Although intriguing, monopoles in spin ice are intrinsically distinct, as they have an underlying gauge charge, which is topological and quantized. Conversely, the emergent magnetic charges in haematite are 2D, not quantized and are topological in the sense that they dress topological AFM textures underpinning them.

I'm not familiar with how lawsuits work in Europe/European countrys, but in the US anyone can sue anyone for any reason at any time (with very specific, few restrictions).

If it's anything like the US, as long as it's not a completely spam/bogus lawsuit then it might not be enforcable but you still have to hire a lawyer and go through that painful process.

AND it sounds to me like Europe is similar to the US in that you may be sued by a state/country you don't reside in as long as you technically operate there (which everyone does now with the internet).
