I wondered the same, then checked the source. The difference is this one is made with Rust.
No. But billboards are generally placed in areas of higher traffic. And I don't necessarily see why they are implicitly more distracting than the myriad road signs, bumper stickers, car decals, etc that drivers already navigate.

Regardless, your DoT or local authority probably already has a lot of rules in place about how visually distracting billboards are allowed to be, and which section of roads they are determined to be safe on. So they are already fairly highly regulated from a safety standpoint.
Oh wow yeah. It's interesting because when I look at the fridge my eye maps that to "this is a reflective surface", which makes sense because that's true in the source images, but then it's actually rendered as a cavity with appropriate features rendered in 3D space. What's a strange feeling is to enter the fridge and then turn around! I just watched Hbomberguy's Patreon-only video on the video game Myst, and in Myst the characters are trapped in books. If you choose the wrong path at the end of the game you get trapped in a book, and the view you get trapped in a book looks very similar to the view from inside the NYC fridge!
A quick glance at "embedding" reminds me a lot of some work I was doing on quantum computing.

I wonder if there is some crossover potential there, in terms of calculations across vector arrays
I mean, half the drivers I see drifting out of the lane are SUVs with a driver on their phone. Autonomous cars make the road safer, not more dangerous, because humans are just so horrible at driving safely.
Right, but the engineering output exists... in the google graveyard.
"Teslas with Autosteer turned on will more routinely check on the driver’s attention level – and may disengage the feature – when the software determines the driver isn’t paying attention"

does this really say specificaly it will disengange autosteer when the drive is _not_ paying enough attention??? that sounds like a terrible idea? (i dont know the details, i do hope i am reading it wrong...)
I just use it as an autocomplete. I can usually guess when it will save me keystrokes (when I am doing something repetitive) and will look out for it, otherwise usually I ignore what it gives me, but sometimes it surprises me and saves me more than a few keystrokes.

My company pays for it, I don't think I'd pay for it personally since I use chatGPT when I need more advanced help and copilot is just autocomplete.

I think it's only given me full functions a handful of times (and they're usually quite wrong), most of the time it's just a method name or a super short (1-2 line) code snippet
These results say that Gemini performs better than GPT4-V, which is clearly not true from experience. Clearly, we need better evals.
I really wish there was a feature to lock the phone upon rapid movement, such as when a thief snatches the device while it is in use. It seems like an obvious mitigation to a common problem by way of the built in accelerometer.
Yeah, that's pretty awesome. I was just curious if people were uploading llamafiles to share, yet.
I wrote a simple Kubernetes operator for renewing AWS container registry (ECR) credentials in several namespaces. The credentials expire every 12h, and the Kubernetes secret for pulling the images from ECR need to be renewed whenever a workload is to be created/updated. The operator takes care of renewing the Kubernetes secret every 12h in all the configured namespaces: https://github.com/zak905/kube-ecr-secrets-operator
Yes, correlation is not causation. In the case of increases in longevity & quality of life (1) and the advancement of and better access to modern medicine (2), 2 is leaching off the results of 1 -- both in terms of recognition, and also in terms of resources.
I learned 6502 assembly as my second programming language after BASIC. I don't remember how I felt about it, because it was all I had, but I do remember two things:

1. 6502 assembly made a lot of sense to me, even its quirks kind of made sense

2. When I switched to the 80386 nothing made sense and I simply hated it.

I think it is fair to say that if I had to start with x86 I probably would have never gotten into programming.

Adoption is a big issue with design systems. More complex it is, the less adoption you're going to see (or incorrect usage).

It's amusing to see deeply nested and abstracted components with fancy properties in a design system. Makes you wonder who they're building the system for.

If you look at mature publicly available design systems, they have all evolved over the years towards more simplicity and flatter structure. Google, Atlassian, etc.
If this were done regularly in the United States (Taft-Hartley notwithstanding), it would do the next generation of Americans wonders as a reminder that they are the ultimate mediators of acceptable business behavior. There's an awful lot of externalized cost that we just pick up the slack for out of the "goodness of our hearts" that needs to actually be accounted for somewhere that need not be on anyone else's but the belligerant's recognizance.

A reminder every now and then, of what getting along with the labor force looks like, and the reprecussions for not doing so is a good thing.

This reads like a TED talk full of hand-wavy marketing-friendly vagueness and ambiguity. May as well just say next-gen engines will be faster, better-looking, and cheaper to work with, leave it at that, and let history prove you uncannily prophetic.
I won't pay somebody who would attempt to force to show me ads. Youtube's approach is much more appropriate: deny access to the site. I'm not owed content, but no one has the right to force me to view content either.
From a designer's perspective we are equally amused at watching engineers discovery the same system lessons designers have faced for years.
Hmmm. You'd be able to store that qty of data across 2x storage servers on Hetzner.

Grabbing ones already available from Hetzner's "server auction" means they'd be fairly cheap (comparatively) compared to ordering brand new ones.

Something like the ones with 10 x 16TB drives for €260/mo.

Not sure if Hetzner would upgrade the network interface to 10GbE though, as that would be a requirement.

That's just the hardware too. He'd need someone technical enough to set it up for him (and keep it running), and there'd need to be some way to download the data to it from Google.
Lots of echo-chamber talk about the same information. I haven't seen any new information since the original postings.

My guess is that it would be rather difficult for even nation-state hackers to demolish the US IRS mainframe-based Individual Master File https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Individual_Master_File which is still mostly written in Cobol and assembler.

We have a cluster of Edge Runtime instances in each region. We run multiple edge functions within an instance using v8 isolates (Deno's core runtime is a wrapper around v8 isolates). This setup provides a good balance between cost and security. Other edge hosting providers like Cloudflare also follow a similar setup.
I'm not sure if I would classify that as a home battery, but it does indeed seem much more reasonably priced. I don't know if I can find a local installer selling this or anything else in the same price/kWh category.

With inverters and solar panels I don't have this problem.
I think insanely-faster-whisper uses batching, so faster-whisper (which doesn’t) might be a fairer comparison for the purposes of your post.
I'd actually guess that free accounts don't have the "toggle AI" option because they just disable AI inference for free users. LLM inference is pretty expensive.
This has little to do with advertising.

Consumer sentiment will be shaped by media other than advertising. You watching Instagram of people drinking alcohol and (seemingly) having fun will make you want to drink alcohol.

Ads for a particular type of alcohol will only steer your selection of product, but do not induce a desire to get it.
Idk they did release public access to Gemini on day one. At least for one of the versions.
Yeah I don't understand how someone's anonymous DNA being on that site makes the situation worse.

If someone finds my DNA without my identity, they're no further ahead. If they do have my DNA and my identity, well the 23andme part gives no additional information.

Maybe some day this will be a big concern, but by then we'll have much bigger things to worry about.
My co-founder and I launched https://www.togetherletters.com a few years ago because we never felt like we saw updates from friends on social media. We now use TogetherLetters for our own groups and see updates from them, knowing the updates will never be on the web. In the last few months (with no marketing from us), usage has taken off. We're starting to spend more time on improving it and figuring out what all these new users want/need.

Uptime related server crashes (2011)
An airplane autopilot is fully capable of flying the plane from point A to B, including landing (but not takeoffs) while the pilots sleep or eat or read or do something other than paying attention. For most international flights, autopilot is flying the plane once the plane reaches cruising altitude up until final approach.

Airplane autopilots are usually disengaged for landing because the failure mechanism is to return control to the human pilots, but in the event of a failure during landing there is usually insufficient time for that.

Tesla "Autopilot" is basically the landing portion of a flight, all the time. It has the same failure window: seconds, or less, for the human to take over and prevent an accident. And Tesla's AP is uniquely bad compared to comparable advanced cruise control systems: Tesla has more than 17x as many crashes than the next crashiest automaker, and more than 60x as many crashes as the safest major automaker. Given that Tesla has far fewer cars on the road, scaled up for fleet size, Tesla's AP system is the most dangerous advanced cruise control system in the world. (And the fatalities bear that out; FSD alone has more fatalities than the combined fatality count of every other automaker in the world combined.)
> a shallow dismissal is less valuable than an excellent critical comment

An excellent critical comment is wasted on a shallow argument… your thinking assumes that reaching beyond the metaphorical ceiling doesn’t require standing atop those still struggling to reach the metaphorical floor… it absolutely and necessarily does. Worse, you seem to think that reaching for means that vastly outstrip your need is somehow noble. It isn’t… it’s pathetic.
That's not my view. My view is that modern medicine achieves results, but at costs (monetary, and otherwise) that are avoidable and superfluous, if not outright harmful.
Hopefully it’s a bit faster than ptinstallers first run experience. That was the main reason I didn’t use it.
Wrong. Median disposable income is higher on average across all occupations. Software engineer income is significantly higher. The top 10% in the US is not even fathomable in Europe.
>Are you trying to kill rentals

Yes. I've paid more than 100% of the presumed costs of owning the rental unit I'm in, and have recently received a rude awakening as to my rights to the property whose equity I have fully funded for five years. It's a scam.
I hear you! what I can say is that although Noise gets the artist music from Spotify, it's pretty much because (like you said) it's the most popular and dominant platform for artists. Of course, I'm planning to give artists the ability to integrate with different services (like Bandcamp and even Soundcloud) so they can show off their music from their favorite platforma. But for now, as I'm trying to get the product right, I'm focusing on Spotify only!
Is there an elaborate mechanism nearby that is attached by a string to his right paw?
Ramdisks are extremely slept on, there is a lot of stuff you can kludge with a ramdisk in a pinch. I had to do some video stream processing the other day and I didn't have time. So I just made a ramdisk and read/wrote jpegs at 30fps, yeah it's stupid as hell, but it worked when I needed it to and that's what matters.
Haven't looked it up in detail yet, but I am wondering if game process is a boss or player entity?
Design systems seem to be due to oversupply of designers and frontend engineers in the tech industry. You get enough of them together in a company and there’s not enough for them to work on. So a design system is hatched so that they can work on things that never get used!

I jest somewhat but I do feel a design system is an “org smell” for all but the largest engineering organizations. My estimate is that you don’t need that unless you have 4 digit engineer count. Smaller companies with design systems usually are putting the cart before the pony, so to speak.
Im not sure why this demo runs so horribly in Firefox but not other browsers..anyone else having this?
Because then it would need more registers for the other purpose?

But actually the decision about which general purpose registers to use for what is made at compile time (hence we're discussion a compiler flag here, the frame pointer is not a hardware dictated feature), so the question is actually kind of moot. If the compiler is out of registers to allocate and instead uses the stack, the CPU isn't reasonably going to be able to undo that.
I'm not sure it is down to edge cases. It's more like they are a fundamental AI breakthrough away until it can understand say that that thing must be a fire truck although it doesn't look the same as the previous ones seen.

I mean alternatively you can take the Waymo approach with loads of sensors and pre mapped routes but Musk seems to be banking on almost human level AI and we aren't there yet.
"Unicorn" is a term meaning a billion dollar valuation, without being listed as a stock. If I go spend a billion dollars on a company it is a unicorn, even if has zero success or sustainability.

So of course there are fewer unicorns outside of SV. The entire concept of a unicorn is tightly coupled to VC dollars.
My attempt had GPT4 fail on Julia, it was adamant that Julia has two sisters. It took couple of back and forths for it to understand.

The WARN act requires an announcement 60 days before the workers stop being paid. Tech companies typically offer more than two months of severance, so this announcement can happen after people are notified they've been laid off.

This late into the workday, the fact that there's no news about layoffs at Netflix makes me suspect there isn't a large layoff.
Does insanely-fast-whisper use beam size of 5 or 1? And what is the speed comparison when set to 5?

Ideally it also exposes that parameter to the user.

Speed comparisons seem moot when quality is sacrificed for me, I'm working with very poor audio quality so transcription quality matters.
How annoying that NS turns a free-to-read & very approachable blog post:

https://scottaaronson.blog/?p=7266

which distills a complex issue into an easily-understood concept, explained in a single (1) picture, into a subscribe/paywalled read. Scientific reporting at its finest! </sarcasm>

From that blog post:

Some AI systems might be so complex that it would be best to model them as potentially behaving “adversarially,” and part of the practice of deploying AIs responsibly would be to ensure an “operating envelope” that limits their potential damage even under adversarial failures.

I'm interested! How would you call such a job? Just asking for a -potential- future version of myself.

AI safety engineer? AGI caging expert? AI ('sand')box designer? AI Quality Assurance manager? Or worse.. AI terminator? (armed with guns & everything)

That's of course assuming we'll have people (or AIs!) doing this as a specialized job. As opposed to trusting AI-developing companies to keep their own products on a leash. Or trusting that some legal regulations will suffice. Or unleashing AI everywhere & see where the chips fall (as may be happening anyway given Libre/OS LLMs etc).
I do think there's room to experiment with that, yes.
Thanks for the reply. To each their own indeed. I had to learn to like it, and that meant I had to hold back and space out the input energy over multiple days. I used to go all-in once in a while, hurt my body and than not do it for a long time. The first year of taking weight training more seriously was really nothing more than using the same light weight, doing exactly one set for one exercise each day and just getting my body used to it.

A gym membership is a complete road block for me. I get distracted by women and that kind of thing. And I don't want to wait for available equipment. Besides I want to make the noises without people looking at me, or me thinking people look at me.

Good luck with the personal training!
I love this. This is exactly the idea the python ecosystem needs to unfuck it's packaging/distribution hell. I will start using this at work to try and solve the "how the hell do I distribute the spaghetti these devs produce in a sensible way" problem (we bundle dockerfiles atm and it's less than ideal)

Will let you know if I have any avenues for potential improvement, etc.
I think it is important that the designer gets a feel for the character and “vibe” of the book by actually reading the manuscript and gathering as much context information as they can, ideally in direct exchange with the author(s) to align with their artistic vision. Book cover design can be an art in itself and as a reader, I appreciate it if it is done well and communicates some of the subtleties and nuances of the content in an interesting way. Of course, as you mentioned, it should not be about the ego/self-marketing of the designer, but that does not exclude artistic expression.

I believe it is a disservice to the author and the reader to focus solely on the marketing side of things. After all, the design of the book is part of the product, which, as a whole, sets the frame for the reading experience. Physical books today have to compete with digital content and ebooks, so as a reader I would expect that more effort is being made to make a product that also looks and feels good and not only carries the content to my eyes. That also applies to the layout and typesetting of the inner pages, which is unfortunately often careless and not aligned with the cover design (let alone the choice of paper and binding, which is of course seldom in control of the designer).
I wouldn't know, as I've never been to France.

Edit: wait, I was once on the French side of the alps. Hardly enough to let me speak with any authority on any thing but snow, though.
By the time it was thoroughly hacked, it was too late. Much better hardware was around. People could do most of what the vita was eventually able to do with a phone.

Besides piracy what do you expect from the switch? The PSP had an ebook reader, movie player and could play mp3s as well as other cool old games very early in it's release. It could play media and play games up to the ps1. Modding a PSP vita today is like maxing out a citron 2cv instead of buying an e scooter. When the PSP came out it was amazing. Now it's yesterday's news. I'm impressed by the hackers that did it but the vita just doesn't impress even with hombrew today for the capabilities.

The PSP had amazing battery life and felt like a better Gameboy advance at the time.

> bool is actually #define bool _Bool. You have to include <stdbool.h> to get it. That's ugly enough not to want to use it.

Sure, which is why it got changed to a keyword in C23. I'll agree this should have happened earlier.

The return type of comparison operators is entirely irrelevant; you don't build APIs by reference to the return type of a comparison operator. It makes a difference to the reader whether your source code says "int" or "bool", that alone is all the reason anyone should need.

> That is inaccurate. It's POSIX that reserves this namespace.

You got me there. However, the question is, why would you add the _t? It serves no purpose. Typedefs have their own namespace anyway, you're not working around some possible collision by adding the _t.

That said I've already noted this is a commonly ignored aspect. I suppose it "feels" better/correct to some readers. I will happily agree this is the weakest point of my feedback either way, yet I still rather point it out and have people learn more details about this.
Oh, Proton Drive. When will they release a client for Linux? And when they will start adding AI to all Proton products?

Experts have a narrow, deep view while CEOs have a wide, shallow view.

If the expert works in a lab developing new experimental solar panels they probably don’t see a clear path to mass production.

The CEO might know another manufacturing expert that does see a path to production and have enough high level understanding to know the methods are compatible.
Ok, now I kinda of understand what you are talking about. Where do you think the improvement comes from then? Do you think it's because people have a better understanding of their bodies? Or maybe people no longer lack basic necessities?

Also, what kind of research do you think we should be doing instead of pouring more resources into "modern" medicine?
