ANNs aren't top down either though. The architecture isn't as important as people think.

https://nonint.com/2023/06/10/the-it-in-ai-models-is-the-dat...

Even then, the architectures we use are essentially stumbled on. This is alchemy, not modern chemistry.

Yep, that would potentially be a suitable workaround. Not sure I'd really agree with the pricing aspect not being expensive, but that's probably one of those things that depends on each users circumstances.
VR resolution is far too poor at the moment in my opinion.

At the office, I use 7200x2560 @ 144Hz (5x 27" vertical). It'll be a few years before we see VR as a competitive alternative.
...but if you use the word "extremely" enough times maybe everyone will finally see that they just can't exist without 100000 programmers
UFCS is not the feature to call anything like `a.f(b)`, it's to make all functions callable the same way. Calling a method like `A::f(a, b)` is also UFCS and Rust does have that.
If you look at the actual process for building these deep neural networks, it's actually far more emergent and bottom-up than you might think just reading the news.

I took a deep learning class before things really took off [0], and what we were taught was that a lot of deep learning research was just trying different structures to see what worked. Even the people who were good at it didn't base their architectures on strong theories for how and why things would work, they just had developed an intuition through lots of trial and error.

All the explanations for what the various structures in a deep learning model are doing are post hoc—they're observations made of the behavior of the systems after we build them.

[0] Edit: Not just a random deep learning class either. The TA for that class created AI Dungeon that semester. The professor came in one day with a story of how they accidentally racked up tens of thousands of dollars in Google Cloud bills in 24 hours when that went viral.
I guess they try to force it because they have higher margins on them.

>> To ensure brakes remain responsive in cold and wet weather, Model 3 is equipped with brake disc wiping. When cold and wet weather is detected, this feature repeatedly applies an imperceptible amount of brake force to remove water from the surface of the brake discs.
Funny - hadn't thought of it this way accidentally used the same approach for an actuarial task.

I was updating an insurance pricing application that had all sorts of formulas for capital requirements, profit load, minimum premium, etc. The formulas were often laid out in SQL but I ultimately wrote them step-by-step on paper to make sure I was truly following the logic (and order of ops). Worked well!
> Innovate sure, but don't fill up your tank when gas is cheap just to do doughnuts in the parking lot.

Thats a nice ideal, but its not something that the companies are made to consider seriously. To them, cheap capital signals an opportunity to juice up their growth numbers, and expensive capital signals an opportunity to cut problematic employees from the team (and keep others on their toes).

Until there are real consequences these companies will not change.

> a rising tide does raise all ships

The thing that has always bothered me about this analogy is that a sea level rise affects all ships uniformly while the magnification of wealth doesn't. It's more like everyone standing on a plain and then the centre deforms upwards, creating a peak of wealth while most people are on the (only slightly higher) foothills.
danpalmer believes ads for Rogan can't be dismissed because of 'the complexity involved' in specific technical areas such as being scalable; providing a GDPR export; offering an undo option; and providing a comprehensible user experience.

I would say questions like scalability and data exporting fall squarely upon the software development arm of the business; and if they had chosen an architecture which made it hard for them to deliver value, that would reflect poorly on them.

I am also arguing they probably didn't choose a bad architecture, because I don't think a technical issue is making it difficult to dismiss Rogan ads.

It's far more likely this is the same as Youtube making it difficult to dismiss Shorts, and Amazon trying to trick you into a Prime subscription every time you check out: They've decided their strategy is to make a number go up, and your personal experience is less important to them than that strategy.
You are not reading a PDF document, you are reading a visual representation constructed by a program which is made by people who tear their hair out.

PDF “specification” is not a specification, it only documents the happy path. It never states that behavior of Acrobat remains the holy truth, but in practice undocumented bug-for-bug compatibility is assumed. (We're talking about most basic, universally supported features here.) If ISO was worth their salt, they would at least try to codify the de facto behavior instead of stamping their name on some Adobe-provided document, then it would be horrible but fixed format. A collection of tests would be nice to have, too.

Of course, this “history” is just a promotional leaflet, which describes the “layman approach” they tried to construct. It's a fault not to mention that PDF was, and still is, a foundation of digital print industry, where big vendors solve compatibility problems for mere mortals, and therefore create unwritten rules of what should and shouldn't work.

It is also ironic that they praise the Web, but have to use Web Archive to link to the article from the ancient year of… 2020.
To be sure, the content-creator can run riot with the PDF spec and make it suck for everyone but a human reading the screen or printed page. Fortunately I would say 99% of PDFs are much better behaved than that.
You are probably having a different conversation. This is my conversation:

$ time ./julia-1.10.0-rc2/bin/julia -e "using Plots; using DynamicalSystems;"

0m5.433s

This is a different conversation from

julia> @time plot(x, y)

0.000465 seconds (484 allocations: 45.992 KiB)

But I agree that the conversation is pointless. The TTFX will never be fixed for Julia to be used with sane workflows because the few still using Julia don't want to accept the problem. But the flamewars are fun anyhow and maybe they prevent the next Julia from making the same mistakes.
i like how thanks to un*x mentality i can just expect argv to be the most malicious possible implementation where the invoker can put anything in it and it will be there for the invokee, on the os family boasting its support for secure multi user systems:

/usr/sbin/./././some_admin_tool

/usr/sbin/../sbin/../sbin/some_admin_tool

/my_rigged_folder/haha (using symlink)

but i guess it would have required allocating a string or something which may have mattered 40 years ago even though we could have had a better OS in every way 20 years ago

and the same for the process list (in multiple ways, one you can see other people's passwords if they do HISTFILE=/dev/null something --password password, two you can just modify the process list)

and i get the last laugh because un*x lovers will reply to criticism such as "your CLI shit is retarded it logs the passwords to disk" with "NO BRO I USE HISTFILE=/dev/null" to which i reply "that's a lot of shit to type just to not log your password to disk" to which he replies with "NO BRO I USE SPACE PREFIX" and he's still wrong due to previous paragraph. similarily the un*x lover will boast about how he can detect malware / bad guys by using the process list yet nope it can just be bypassed like anything in un*x.

and don't even get me started with how moronic it is for a CLI program to "prompt" the user for a password to avoid this issue (actually you can use patches to make CLI paramters not shared to all users of the system, which is still stupid because none of that type of information should ever be shared in he first place: no other user's process should see any attribute of mine)

and the icing on the cake is the typical way people inside the industry are completely oblivious and say "no man this is actually amazing stuff here"

So telling, and yet, so many media brands will not attempt to learn from this.
Not only did this experiment suggest that a print magazine is a struggle in the 2020s, it confirms that the "digital" edition finds few takers either (nobody likes flipbook readers, PDFs or just generally reproducing a magazine on the internet).

Magazines remain home to a treasure mine of niche content. But noone has really demonstrated how to transform one into a digital experience that people feel is worth paying for.

And of course, the bigger problem, most people don't want to spend on more than one news subscription at a time (if one, at all).

Unlike many industries, I think publishing media models have adapted little to social media, and as a result, they almost all seem to perform poorly on social media.
IAM is horrific, but I feel like it's not really the application-specific stuff that is annoying for me, it's the stuff that AWS wants configured for AWS features to work and the fact that the error messages when you get it wrong are useless at pinpointing your mistake, when you do not know that access is mediated by IAM.

Just as an example, I setup a containerized app on Fargate with a custom role, and the need to configure the ability for ecs to assume the role, read from ecr, write to cloudwatch, create channels for debugging was super annoying.

Comparatively, having a policy for it to read from an s3 bucket with my data was trivial.
I read it more like "we hired when money was cheap and were hoping that we could create some new revenue streams but that didn't work out and now we don't have much hope of revenue growth in these areas so we have to reduce costs."

A Look Back on 7 Years of Automating Stuff
Thank you. I find it odd that articles like this and many others go with "the local residents" line.

Unnamed sources have been used since forever by journalists to create stronger articles, but I disagree with their use entirely. If you're going to quote someone, quote them. Don't tell me "local residents", or "local police" think this or that. It seems like a journalistic writing tactic that blurs the truth more than it clarifies.
weren't they paying data scientists 500k?

Worth noting that 100 years is not exactly the hard deadline, but a typical (default) *target* for the calculations made by the engineers planning the construction.

What I mean is that this number is defined by design, although they are of course also constrained by what is possible within the set budgets.

Reinforced concrete lifespan depends on a lot of factors, including some that can be controlled, such as isolation of the reinforcement, materials used, various qualities of the concrete itself. When the new structures are designed, engineers do the calculations to achieve a specific goal in terms of lifespan, construction cost and maintenance cost.

I don't know how this works in practice, but I would hope that various factors such as the total cost and environmental impact (yes, I can hear my inner self laughing at my naivety here) are taken into account to arrive to the optimal target.
What's the consequence for doing your employees a disservice? Maybe a few of the best and most important employees get jaded and quit. Morale company wide takes a hit. These companies don't seem to care and I guess I'm not sure they should.

For me, it's not just morale that's gone to shit, but I feel like I've woken up to the nature of the employer/employee relationship with all these layoffs. I was blind but now I see, we ARE human resources, and it's very likely none of us are irreplaceable, none of us matter really all that much to our employers and the cost cutting via offshoring/remote employee replacement / no backfill is probably just getting started.

I device I think would be great for the kitchen is a large wrist-mounted, waterproof e-ink screen, curved to wrap around the wrist, with two large scroll buttons.

The recipe could be loaded up via a linked smartphone or something, but then you have a device that you can touch with food covered hands and then wash it right alongside your hands later. Big screen so you don't have to squint or scroll frequently like you would on a smartwatch. E-ink so it works well despite bright kitchen lights and has low power consumption.

Going on a tangent sorry, you started it!
So... in a private company the employees are very often a lot more beholden to the managers/owners, so top-down command and control can be applied a lot more than in an administration where job security is often much higher. For better or for worse, this can result in a lot more bottom-up decision-making...

More specifically, if it demoralizes the leadership (Lincoln, and Congress), then they could surrender. Any Union generals still fighting after that are war criminals and the Union's leadership is obligated to stop them and put them on trial.

Or leadership could remain defiant, and they're little more than hostages. Disruptive to the war effort, but hardly the end of things.

Honestly I was surprised with how during the shutdowns we were still able to produce everything we needed. There were no food or power shortages. Wild animals started to return to cities. It demonstrated that most economic activity is really not necessary for our standard of living. We can do so much better. We have lots of wiggle room.
Apple and Google have 20% and 16% respectively. Considering the amazing platform boost that those two giants have I think 25% is very impressive.

But I agree that podcastings growth has been very slow. I think that there are a
lot of factors influencing that. The biggest in my opinion is that listening to a podcast is more intimate than any other media (including broadcast radio) and that factor both slows uptake and decreases churn. Not a marketer though so just making that up.

There are some "right wing" ideologies that basically align with non-interventionist decriminalization: don't fuck with me I won't fuck with you sort of individualistic thinking.

It's important to choose who you invite, and who invites you, carefully. If the invitee screws up, it reflects poorly on the inviter. If the inviter screws up, everyone they invited may also get looked at.

I don't know anyone on Lobsters enough to have that sort of relationship with. I don't really submit things, even here; not worth the trouble of being told something's a bad fit, off-topic, repost, bad title, or some other nitpick.

Yeah, but we don't get to play both sides of that narrative. Either we stay out of it and mind our own business, or if we jump into the fray to defend Israel, we're just combatants and valid targets. We don't get to be some sort of faux peacekeeper that only protects one side.

Since building in flood prone areas is heavily subsidized by the federal government by providing subidized flood insurance where no sane entity would provide it, of course they're going to continue to build there.

It doesn't really matter if they build with concrete or wood. After Katrina, a cat 5 storm, I saw modern concrete and steel structures completely wiped away except for some twisted steel girders sticking up from concrete pads - a mile from the gulf.

Building within 10 miles of any hurricane prone body of water should be strictly at the personal risk of the owner. If some insurance company is foolhardy enough to insure there, they should not get any government help.
