You can't prevent that, not really. That "section 6.3" applies to every company, but these ToS are a bit more upfront about it.
I am now convinced that Google DeepMind really had nothing in terms of state-of-the-art language models (SOTA LLMs). They were just bluffing. I remember when ChatGPT was released; Google was saying that they had much better models they were not releasing due to AI safety. Then they released Palm and Palm 2, saying it's time to beat ChatGPT with these models. However, it was not a good model.

They then hyped up Gemini, and if Gemini Ultra is the best they have, I am not convinced that they have a better model.

Sundar's code red was genuinely alarming because they had to dig deep to make this Gemini model work, and they still ended up with a fake video. Even if Gemini was legitimate, it did not beat GPT-4 by leaps and bounds, and now GPT-5 is on the horizon, putting them a year behind. It makes me question if they had a secret powerful model all along
You would certainly see an apparent slowdown due to phase shift if you consider a continuous wave that spans the entire medium, yes for sure and so this explanation and model does have merit, I don't want to dismiss it entirely.

But this model won't be useful for understanding pulses of light through a medium. For example if I emit a very short pulse of light through a medium and measure how long it takes the head of the pulse to traverse the medium, using this model won't work. A phase shift won't move the head of a pulse of light backwards, it will just adjust the amplitude of the head as it propagates through the medium.

You still need a way to explain how it is that the head of the pulse actually takes longer to travel through the medium and that's not something a phase shift can explain.

There is a significant difference. Video has a temporal component (frames tend to be correlated with previous ones), and vision LLMs do not have some sort of hidden states to keep track of that temporal component.

Using captions to bridge this only works to a certain extent (you're giving text descriptions of what happened in the past, not what had _actually_ happened).
I like how this can be read both as a future where we regress technologically, or as a future where all work is in the domain of math.
Well, the benchmarks don't tell that.

I'm in Europe and imo it's bad. The position is London/Paris and it's definitely not enough to live comfortably in London. It's okay for a run of the mill full stack position but at what could be considered the hottest sector in the world right now? It's not enough.
I disagree somewhat with both you and GP here:

> Society thinks of math as technical and functional, rather than beautiful.

The math people suck at is the technical and functional part, just as much as the beautiful parts. I'd frame the issue like this: there's the journey of arriving at the result, there's wielding the result, and then there's applying it to a very particular problem.

Schools are teaching mostly the last part - applying a^2+b^2=c^2 to a set of contrived problems that are meant to exercise your ability in arithmetic, variable substitution, and simple symbolic transformation. They do not teach people how to wield the formula - as in, how can you realize on your own that any particular real-life challenge calls for application of that tool (or of mathematics in general). That's the middle part that's directly valuable, in the immediate term. That's the difference between a carpenter, and a person who figured out how to use a hammer to drive a nail into a wall.

The beauty and journey part? That's study of history and art of inventing new types of hammers and other impactors, and perhaps inventing your own. Even further upstream of the "knowing how to use it to build something" part, but neither is taught in schools.
All I want for Christmas this year is for Java Epsilon GC [0] to be made available in .NET.

Maybe I am missing something, but this doesn't seem like a very complicated ask. Granted, some developers would absolutely blow their feet off with this, but that's why you don't make it a default thing. Hide it behind a csproj flag and throw a runtime exception if the developer presses the GC.NapTime() red button without configuring the runtime appropriately.

There are a lot of use cases where you can strategically reorganize the problem and sidestep the need to meticulously clean your heaps. Running a supervisory process (which is allowed to GC itself) that periodically resets the principal ZGC process via business events or other heuristics is a pretty obvious path to me. Round-based multiplayer gaming seems well-aligned if you can keep allocations to a dull roar.

Its a really interesting challenge to solve

Twitter, for example, aimed to be a single, universal town square. Mastodon follows much closer to forums where you find yourself in smaller, potentially more tightknit communities

Both have pros and cons. I don't expect Mastodon will give people the same value as social media, but it won't have some of the downsides either. Similarly, I don't expect social media will ever be sustainable as a coordination platform without toxicity and doom scrolling.
During the crypto boom there were crypto miners in China who got really cheap electricity from hydroelectric dams built in rural areas. Shipping electricity long distance is expensive (both in terms of infrastructure and losses - unless you pay even more for HVDC infrastructure), so they were able to get great prices as local consumers of "surplus" energy.

That might be a great opportunity for cheap LLMs too.
Some games are so complex that AI on the higher difficulty levels resorts to cheating. I understand the rationale behind it, but it has always rubbed me the wrong way.

It turns out in a lot of christmas book lists - especially lists that solicit book recommendations from famous writers and journalists - are absolutely crammed with recommendations for their friends' books, their co-workers' books, their boss's wife's books, books by authors they share a literary agent or publisher with, and so on.

>I completely reject this analysis, as there are numerous counterexamples of things that are popular but not good,

Yikes, did you miss the part where I explicitly acknowledged that there are counterexamples? And since you missed it the first time, I guess I'm going to repeat it again here for emphasis. Yes, there are indeed counterexamples. Broad brush inferences always have counterexamples, and nevertheless are useful indicators. I spent a whole paragraph talking about the functional literacy of understanding why it's a good first approximation. People drive Priuses, people use iPhones, people listen to Taylor Swift. And each of those cases there's a a Venn diagram overlap between popularity and positive user experience where the former can be a proxy for the latter. If you genuinely don't understand how that argument works there's a functional literacy issue here. Moreover, there are counterexamples but this isn't one of them! This specific case, is one of those cases where popularity and positive user experience coincide, which was the whole point to begin with. Being obtuse about how those are connected is just a waste of everybody's time.

>Now that actually answers my question,

Well the crux of this conversation has been that this is an obtuse question in the first place, and that your preferred framing of the question in terms of user experience to the exclusion of popularity was an obtuse refusal to understand the significance of how those things meaningfully overlap, and it was obtuse in the sense of ignoring a broader conversation about mainstream adoption of RSS. The conversation was about that but you wanted to specifically turn it into an end user question.

>which seems like it would have been a recipe for success given the outcry and hunger for Readeer.

Copies of it do exist, often with features paywalled. Part of the downward spiral from de facto standard to boutique experience.

>Even looking at the proportion, it's more than likely still higher today, at least in terms of websites-with-RSS.

However you measure it, it is no longer the de facto standard that it once was. You don't see the RSS icon next to the social media icons on websites. Google News, Twitter, and craigslist removed their RSS functionality, mainstream browsers have removed their built-in RSS functionality, and, again I have to raise the functional literacy thing, because look at what you're saying. The best justifications of RSS are this combination of scaffolding and duct tape about how if you squint and think about it you can still find it, it's just an entirely different universe than it being a de facto standard.

What happened on Mars Pathfinder? (1997)
I felt this article deep in my old creaky bones.

I hated math in middle school and high school. This is despite loving science, and enjoying math all the way through Algebra 1. However, when I started taking Algebra 2 and beyond, it seemed like we shifted away from why things work to solving ever larger polynomials and other tedious tasks, getting points taken off along the way for a flipped sign or digit or moving a decimal point, even when the entire rest of the calculation was correct. I ended up doing a degree in computer engineering, and every class that involved algorithm design or programming I excelled at, while every "hard math class" (for example, statistics, electromagnetism, etc.) I barely passed.

I didn't fall back in love with math until I took discrete mathematics and signal processing in the same semester, and then later a class on algorithms and formal models of computation. They showed me that math was actually beautiful and fascinating, an art form unto itself. These three classes showed me how amazing math can be; I remember particularly that the day we learned about FFT's my brain felt like it had ascended into another dimension. They truly felt magical. Same thing with learning about recurrence relations and finally "getting" dynamic programming.

Now I love math, and I am planning on taking this holiday break to finally crack open the Principia Mathematica and trying to really understand it (a personal goal of mine for several years). I can't wait to share the joy of mathematics with my kids when they're old enough. I just hope that they don't get bogged down in the mechanical, number crunching part like I did and manage to continue to see the beauty of the underlying ideas.

Part of my interest is also getting better at Lua, and it seems to excel in embedded contexts like making small 2D games. So maybe Love2D will still be good for that, and maybe the statically linking story is better now.

Completing a game at all would be good enough, but I want to do it right!

"The risk is that students think they’re bad at math, while in fact they’re bad at mindlessly memorizing and applying formulas. The same way we could totally miss out having students never discovering their artistic talents if art class was taught without ever actually doing any art."

This is more or less what I've found as an adult who is trying to improve their math skills. Like 90% of what I learned in school was never really applied, I couldn't tell you why I learned them, just that I was told they would be essential for my later life if I chose certain paths.

Seriously. This was the most abusive reading experience I’ve come across in a while. I also only got to read a couple of paragraphs before endless ads.
I've just finished reading Refactoring UI, and the author has a good point against `em`: nested uses lead to fragmented sizes.

Let's say you have a fixed list of font sizes (and you probably want to), that goes like this: 0.75em, 0.875em, 1em, 1.25em, and 1.5em. It's all good if you have an element with `font-size: 1.25em`, because that's on the scale. But if a nested element has 0.875em, it'll actually be 1.25*0.875 = 1.09375em, because it'll be relative to the parent font size.

So if you don't want your UI to have 17 different font sizes with fractional pixels, "absolute" units like px or rem are preferable. They still don't map 1:1 to screen pixels, so it shouldn't be a problem for high DPI displays.

> ...the implementation does some _very_ sketchy things like forcibly casting pointers to unrelated types so they can be shoved through some multiply-recursive functions and then cast back to the correct type later.

I did not look into the code, however such casts can be a reasonable way to implement polymorphism in C.

Of course, having some common type field would be more robust, instead of blindly casting whatever pointer comes at input.

For example, such type could be defined as first field in the 'base' structure. Thus the cast into, say, `int` should yield a valid/expected type value, which would be checked in the called functions before casting into the expected type.

The first application that comes to mind for me, and of course I am not a quantum physicist so its entirely possible that my conceptions here are misguided, would be with creating even more perfectly coherent beams of laser light for use in the high precision environments of quantum laser experiments.

Possibly either at more affordable rates or to allow for an extremely temporally coherent wavefront in other shapes besides just the beam that is most commonly used? I could easily believe that there are potential experiments that are just waiting for the right technology to be viable.
