My last two laptops have been highly repairable. Previous was a Clevo barebones (I forget the model, it was rebranded as Medion). Current is an MSI GE66. Both of them can be opened 60 seconds with a screwdriver.

Both are gaming laptops since I do 3d work. So they are not featherweights.

The Clevo is a workhorse that is still going strong as a media center like... 8 years later I think? It traveled the world with me for five of those years, across deserts, beaches, and jungles, and never complained.

I can also speak for the quality of MSI support. When I first got the laptop there was some weird problem with hibernating - I think it was a Windows/Nvidia driver bug in the end and it resolved itself after a week or two.

A few months ago the screen started to have issues. In both cases I was able to get in touch with someone at MSI support within a few hours via email, and the person carried out a real, human conversation with me (even made a few jokes).

In the case of the screen they took it in for repairs, and I think they replaced pretty much the entire laptop internals and screen panel. Note that I had opened it to upgrade RAM and SSD so the factory seals were gone, but they didn't say anything about that. It took about 12 days to repair because they shipped the parts from Taiwan to Vietnam. Not great but not the worst I've heard. Initially they said it would take six weeks but when I said I needed it for work they expedited the shipment (six weeks would have been totally unacceptable and the tone of my message would be very different so, ah, well done to them there I guess).
Call me when a glance at the Purism subreddit isn't people still complaining about problems here. ;P
No it's not. YouTube started rolling this out a couple of weeks (months?) ago. No they don't.

I had an interesting interaction:

Me: Are you using Gemini?

Bard: LOL. Got that wrong earlier today. Bard is on Gemini Pro in English across most of the world as of Dec 6, 2023.

When I asked it about the statement it said:

Bard: I apologize for the confusion. The "lol I made this mistake earlier" statement was not intended for you, but rather a reflection on a previous mistake I made during my training process. It was an error in my model that I have since corrected.
So, who gets to tell J.C. Maxwell?
For someone unexperienced with ESP32 but wanting to dip your toes, I'd highly recommend M5Stack - https://m5stack.com/ . No affiliation whatsoever, but I started playing with some basic boards last year for the first time and the the tiny devices they build have so many different sensors, transmitters, etc that you can start with a lot of early experiments just using a single device and a USB-C cable.
One practical one would be super fast computer memory
This is really cool - but I would love to simply run an SSI (single system image) cluster with scaling support - a successor to openMOSIX for a post-cloud reality.

Reminds me of their demo a few years back when they had AI call a hair salon to schedule an appointment. When the receptionist asked if they could put the caller on hold, it did the "mmm hmm" that was uncannily human like
Let's talk about it when it will be real product. Until then it is just marketing.
Why are people so eager to believe that people can? When it comes to the definitions of concepts like sentience, consciousness, thinking and understanding, we literally don't know what we're talking about.

It's premature in the extreme to point at something that behaves so much like we do ourselves and claim that whatever it's doing, it's not "understanding" anything.
nic.lgbt says that the TLD is operated by identity.digital, and it seems you can buy the domains from most popular domain sellers. Good luck on finding your dream .lgbt domain!
Wow I was blown away when I watched this video.

Now that I learned how fake it is, that is more evidence that Google is in really bad shape with this.
In the Midwest we have Casey's. It's a gas station chain known for their pizza. It's not uncommon to see cafes attached to gas stations in small towns. And of course truck stops that sometimes have multiple restaurants. It seems more weird to not have restaurants attached to gas stations, especially if it's near an interstate.
if only.... lol
I use the app daily. I would like to know how it works. And I get the bad gateway msg as well.
Unrelated to the content of the announcement, but the scrolling behavior of the 'threads' at the bottom of the page is really neat.

I'll need to look into how that was done - I've seen similar things before but I can't think of any that are quite as nuanced as this one.
I've always thought that these apps are missing a feature-set: Manipulation of the sound clip prior to identification. In both this app and BirdNET the selection always selects from the lowest recorded frequency to the highest -- I would like to be able to select the frequency band I'm interested in. Maybe first select time, then put corners on the rectangle to be shaped. The sound file passed to the identifier would appear cropped such that the unselected region is totally silent to the identifier. I am often trying to identify an owl or other lower-registered bird but it is unidentifiable because of noisy crickets/cicadas.
> Writing to other partitions is not an attack vector for this vulnerability

I'm not saying that this is the attack vector for this vulnerability. I'm merely stating that utilizing the exploit to place a file as the video shows, wouldn't be possible if your main C: /root partition is encrypted.

If your main drive partition is not encrypted, than that can lead to the ability to dropping a file on the desktop.

I suppose, yes, if someone codes "wait_until_encryption_is_completed" function.

Thanks all for the various answers. I guess, coming from common lisp where it's easy to add a new dependency (via asdf / quicklisp) to a running REPL, it's not so easy (yet? until 1.12?) with Clojure. Various utils have been created over the years, so was just wondering if there was something more to the picture that fell under this new term I learned, "HMR"..
As long as your language includes an empty string concept, why not? Similarly, is an empty array a subarray of any array? And on the other end, can you have an empty number boolean?
Because of Google’s walled research strategy, they now appear to be an antiquated company.

Gemini does nothing. Even if it were comparable to GPT-4, they’re late to the party.

OpenAI is blazing the path now.
Excellent comment. I'm one of those people who always thought: "I can't draw". Now I understand that for me it is a matter of practice. I started with Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain.
Can you link me to how you know that? The docs seem to indicate it doesn't:

"Since StyleX depends on ahead-of-time compilation, it is important for all your styles to be statically analyzable"

"No runtime style injection."

"All styles are bundled in a static CSS file at compile-time."

By dynamic styles I assume we're talking about something like this:

{
backgroundColor: props.thirdPartyColor ?? randomColor()
}
I'm always amazed at how so many people complain about money, while they live in a single bedroom with no roommates.

I have friends who live paycheck to paycheck, and they pay $500-$1k more a month in rent than I do while they make much less than me, just insane.
This is far off.

The model S has two motors, so you're off by a factor of two. Each of the two motors is smaller than the gearbox, so I'd say it would make more sense to compare it with a fairly small ICE part, not with the much larger engine.

But even that doesn't make much sense, because what happened is that he got a series of duds until they found the problem and fixed it. Taking the average lifetime of a dud and a good engine, as you do, isn't going to tell you much about either of the two kinds.
This is the third similar problem. The Galileo Jupiter atmospheric probe had its g-switches miswired, the GENESIS solar wind sample return capsule had a similar issue which resulted in a crash without any parachute deployment, now this.
Tweets are what determines what ends up in the news, on Saturday Night Live, what you can safely say or not say at your job, what the late night shows are talking about, what questions get asked in debates, what gets printed in the newspapers in the morning, and what's included (or excluded) from popular movies and TV shows.

It doesn't do this based on individual politicians taking seriously arbitrary tweets sent to them. It happens because the world's most influential people care about what happens there. And it feeds itself.

And it does that with less than 20% of the US population as users. It'd still do it with less than 10%, or less than 5%. As long as the most influential people stay.
Recorded seperate samples for each test location, and then wrote visualization software that recombined those recorded traces.

Because there is no real reason for two different runs to be significantly different, (especially if the electronic switch shorts out the source ends of the wires between each test to discharge any capacitance that built up between the wires), the results should not be much different than if using an 80 channel scope.

> He didn't buy Twitter just to run it the same way as @jack and say yes to whatever powerful company/gov agency demands of them

One of the many ironies is, of course, that musk's twitter says "yes" to government requests far more frequently than jack's did.

In case you're wondering, this is one of the many reasons people dislike him in relation to twitter, he talks a lot about "free speech" but his actions are consistently about supporting only the speech he himself makes.
I just finished developing my networking library in C, which allows users to create a client or server with the ability to follow the TCP/UDP/HTTP/WS protocols. This was one of my harder C projects, and any tips for how to improve the library would be great. I'm currently benching this against Apache and Nginx and will share the results on the GitHub soon.
We're talking lighter than minihttp and shizaru - instead of a separate process on an OS, you'd use library that allows your firmware to respond to http requests, but that still allows you to run all the relatively complex UI/UX code on the user's computer or phone, with the microcontroller only handling the physical functionality; and reduces the need to have and manage more physical buttons/lights/screens/etc on the device itself; but you can do that without writing a separate app to generate some custom command&control messages - as in the grandparent post example of encoding RGB light control in an UDP packet, it would probably need three times the amount of code both on sending and receiving side compared to a http-based rgb control, which can probably be done in ten or so lines of your own code.
Dunno if I'm late to the party on this trailer, but wow as someone that has not been playing videogames for years this was absolutely mindblowing.
Best of luck Nicolas. For occasional complex data mappings, how does Lume adapt? Can users customize for specific one-off tasks?
So every time you change jobs you also change homes, or how does that work? Or you only look for new jobs near the old job? With an average turnaround of 2 or so years for a software engineer, I can't imagine having to move every 2 years.
The biggest issue is that it's a mischaracterization of the talk.

He spent quite a bit of time at the start of the talk defining the context w/i which he was talking. He used strong language but it was never absolutist.
>“Purchasing a license” is lawyerese nonsense

I guess you need to take it up with a lawyer, then?

>How can I buy something and then be arbitrarily deprived of it by the person who sold it to me at their whim?

same way with a physical license. I have a license to drive, I still need to pay every year to renew my license to ensure my car meets safety standards and that I'm a registered citizen and whatnot. I also need to be re-tested every so often and my picture retaken every year to update my likeness or that license is rendered null.

I don't see it as any different from a digital license. No one would say I "rented my license".

> Either ownership transfers in a way that the seller loses control, or they retain control and no transfer of ownership occurs, only a transfer of possession

Those aren't technically impossible. Just not a feature in enough demand for anyone to implement. Car metphor works here too: I can't transfer my license to drive to another person.

>Now I know IP law says something else, but just because a bad idea is encoded into law does not make it a good idea.

not at all. But it's what you need to argue against and challenge to make any real change. And "it's nonsense" isn't the most sound argument. We can interpret all we want here, but ultimately it does nothing to society at large.

>Or think of it like this: what if I “purchase a license” to use a hammer, and as part of that license the hammer’s owner can ask me to return the hammer at a time of their choosing. Am I buying the hammer, or am I renting the hammer? Don’t get distracted by the nonsense of “buying a license to use the hammer”. What am I doing with the hammer?

sounds like something that can happen if you tweak it slightly. s/Hammer/Gun (albiet we now enter controversial territory) and you see how it settles in. You need a license to own a gun, you can buy and own a gun, but you can have that gun revoked for crimes that may not even be related to the gun itself.

People would still say you own the gun and have a license to operate one. But you can have it taken away. A bit strong armed for a metaphor to video games, but this is more to show that the model of ownership and revoking of possession isn't necessarily stuck in the digital realm.
I’m guessing replacing those motors was easier than oil changes on _some_ cars.

A better example is perhaps Apple's Find My network in which they explicitly said that locations of your Apple devices (including AirTags) would be transmitted over a mesh network and eventually to Apple's servers so you can see them on your iCloud console.

One of the capabilities google should be evaluating their AI on is "determine if the top google search result for X is SEO spam AI nonsense or not."
> This creates friction which platforms like Instagram, Tiktok don't like

All evidence seems to contradict this. People love viewing content that makes them mad (ref: fox news) and companies love the engagement they get from mad people.
Growing up, I would have understood "gas" to mean gasoline. But having lived in many places where the word is used differently, I was really unsure what they were talking about for most of the story. A note to the author: the story would have been much clearer if you said "sold gasoline" and not "served gas".
> I'm not entirely clear on whether CoT@32 uses the 5-shot examples or not, though; it might be 0-shot?

Chain of Thought prompting, as defined in the paper referenced, is a modification of few-shot prompting where the example q/a pairs used have chain-of-thought style reasoning included as well as the question and answer, so I don't think that, if they were using a 0-shot method (even if designed to elicit CoT-style output) they would call it Chain of Thought and reference that paper.
Is this a drop in replacement for clouds (which is the actual question to ask because if you are buying this you have to make new infrastructure) the answer is No. Will Microsoft and Oracle allow you to use this to rent ? Yes. Does Microsoft and Oracle need more accelerators to do internal business processes? Absolutely (Microsoft announced it would rent AI accelerators because they can’t keep up with their own internal (and maybe external) demand). So cost has to not just be per card but infrastructure build out .

Not sure when Microsoft will just have their own TPU accelerator but I wouldn’t be surprised if the announce it sometime.

What kinds of information does she get? Does “subscribing” mean users create an account and therefore the visitors are always tracked? I’m definitely interested in technical details.
> will become of us when most gateways to knowledge are riddled with bullshit like this?

I think we're already here. I asked Google Bard about the rubber ducks, then about empty plastic bottles. Bard apparently has a "fact check" mode that uses Google search.

It rated "The empty water bottle is made of plastic, which has a density lower than water" as accurate, using a Quora response which stated the same thing as a citation. We already have unknowlagable people writing on the internet; if anything these I hope these new AI things and the increased amount of bullshit will teach people to be more skeptical.

(and for what it's worth, ChatGPT 4 accurately answers the same question)
Hmmm... People probably said the same exact thing about taxi drivers and really anyone who drives for a living when waymo demo'd self driving cars 10 years ago.

Are you in my neighborhood? You can have 3 saw blades for one GG1000 ;-)
I think buying a DvD is the perfect analogue here. You own the shiny disc, you don't own the contents on that disc.

We're just taking away the shiny disc in the digital era. It's not a perfect term, but for 99.999% of people, "indefinitely rental for years until the servers die", would associate with "buy".

The actual mechanisms don't matter that much. The point is not letting government or big corporations default to being the gatekeepers for (or monitors of) basic -- and legal -- social activities like communicating or transferring value. Information technology has shrunk the world, but our rights shouldn't also shrink.
Yes, I think I agree if I am understanding correctly - the test is not a good fit for how it works, because it "wants" to weigh things based on surrounding context and to give a lower weight to things that it feels are out of place. That makes it likely a great candidate for certain kinds of work, like sentiment analysis and just overall literary understanding.

Wait. 150 is one third of the USDA answer, and 375 is half of the USDA answer?
What is the USDA answer?

This equation is beyond my paygrade!

Edit:
I asked our GPT3.5 bot to solve this, and it hallucinated "pulling up the USDA database" ; complete with a "(a few moments later...)" message before giving me 160 calories as the USDA answer.

I asked the same bot (identical prompts) with GPT-4-Turbo enabled and it went through "step by step" to say the correct answer is 461 calories because 1/3 cup uncooked is 1 cup cooked, so 1 rice cooker cup (160g) = 3/4 cup uncooked, so 2.25 cooked * 205 = 461 cal.

Is that the right answer? If so, 375 seems far from "half"
A-ha, thanks! Hadn't looked at or heard of the referenced paper, but yeah, sounds like it's almost certainly also 5-shot then.

It would've been more consistent to call it e.g. "5-shot w/ CoT@32" in that case, but I guess there's only so much you can squeeze into a table.
The digital version is also substantially more convenient than the physical version.
