As I said, "may be". "Live" varies hugely with different use cases. Sporting events are often broadcast live with 10s of seconds of latency. But yes, if you are talking to a chat in real-time a few seconds can make a huge difference.
Doesn't fivetran/hightouch do this?
I remember when different magazines would get different exclusive screenshots for the PS2's Spiderman 2, and I would log in every single day to a BBS forum in the internet cafe to see if someone had uploaded the screenshot.
Can you recommend any (Apple or Android). A quick search on the Apple store only returned things that looked scammy or terrible.
In a very strange way it's almost a return to the pre-VHS days (for video) and pre-vinyl days (for music). You could enjoy the content streamed to you over the airwaves but that was it.
If you're playing Terraforming Mars you want to build your "engine", in terms of resources or points generated per turn. The usual way to achieve this efficiently is to use up as much of your current resources as possible, so that they can compound over the course of the game. An innovative company should thus have costs exceeding revenue, as the costs should lead to future profits. It's of course possible to have costs that do not end up generating any kind of profit, but it would be a bit strange to see a company that has valuable ways to deploy capital simply refuse to do so
I would think C# is meant to be a general purpose language based on that. Python too is a general purpose language but community libraries (which I think the support for C extensions helped with) enabled amazing things like scipy.

Similarly I think C# excels at game development because of the many engines it is used. Maybe it began because of XNA but then got popularised because of Unity but I do not think it is due to any special features in C# itself that are not found in other languages. I am not sure about this so please correct me if I am wrong.
Not necessarily defending them, but taxes vary depending on state, county, city, and/or taxing district, against a matrix of what type of service is being sold and what revenue limits, if any.

Then add another level as you're not being sold service by Spectrum but Spectrum of New York, and variable tax/fee contributions depend on total revenue of that subsidiary (e.g. Universal Service Fund[1]).

It can be fairly complicated in a static state, but then add in new/pending legislature and it's something that needs to be updated monthly.

Yes, they already do that work internally (and if they get it wrong, the government taxing entities tell them they are miscalculating the amount and assesses penalties and fees) but publishing it adds a new dimension.

I think they're wondering why the pornography is offline on a USB drive, not the existence of the drive itself.
Their service is selling you a dashboard over your genetic data that’s continually updated for new gene correlation studies and ancestry matches. It’s not really the one and done “Promethease” style analysis service you’re thinking of.
> I don't understand why this continues to be newsworthy.

It's not. It is a marketing opportunity.
> It's SO GOOD that our state (Tennessee) has actually blocked other municipalities from implementing similar municipal fiber ISPs

It makes me so frustrated too. Calling our state leadership incompetent would actually be a compliment considering how poorly ineffective and self-serving many of them are.

About a decade ago, EPB called a friend of mine. The representative on the phone said, "Hello <insert name>, we noticed that your internet has been slower than what you are paying for. Do you mind if we send someone out to fix it for you?" We were both so surprised that a company would volunteer their services like that.

EPB is all I ever had when I was there, and I still miss them everyday. Absolutely 10/10 company to work with. I worked at a place that had a 10gb connection and the hardware to handle it when it first was released. Nothing like downloading a full movie in mere seconds.
FYI: I bought this to try it out but it does not even launch in macOS Sonoma 14.2, the most up-to-date version of macOS.

> “Recadio.app” can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software.
Yep that's another one that has improved significantly over the years.

I charge my headphones once per month, maybe twice. I'd gladly charge them once per week if that means I get nice audio in and outside calls.

Some say it would be more democratic to simply leave unpopular content online, and let it naturally wither by virtue of being unpopular. But what if the people choose wrong? That is when the guiding hand of brands and advertisers must intervene.

After all, they also have free speech. That they're better organized and command more money doesn't change that. Like all accepted the Citizens United decision, this is likewise beyond question - not only is it obviously legal, it is also obviously moral and necessary.
> But they really shouldn’t lie about it

If you can’t tell then what’s the problem? If you can what’s the problem?

I have bigger problems with everyday lies that already happen that are treated as “normal”. For example, advertising a price cut as if there’s a discount by raising the everyday price and discounting to the previous everyday price, using celebrities/influencers to promote products, paying for product reviews in some way, etc etc.

I believe this line of thought is commonly called “blaming the victim”.
> Isn’t the FTC meant to be actively policing things like this?

No, generally the FTC is not designed, equipped, or funded for actively policing advertisements. Its consumer protection action is almost entirely complaint-based/reactive, not active.

If you want active policing of advertisement by the FTC, you need to lobby Congress to vastly expand the FTC’s role and funding.
Coffee Sniffers
A while back, I worked for a porn company for 4 years (Kink).

People bought it because they wanted to support it. They wanted to feel like they were part of a community and get access to stuff hot off the press. There were people who were fans of the directors and models. Similar to how people go see movies by a certain director when they are released.

There was definitely a high rate of churn (people who would only pay for a month at a time), but there were also the whales who would buy up subscriptions to all of the sites we had.

We also innovated live pay per minute in HD. No other way to get it without paying for it.
Very sad. I remember watching coverage of the events when I was a kid on G4 TV (video game TV channel!) and being so excited to see all the new trailers. I would have friends come over and we would eat pizza and watch it all.

Now everything is instant on YouTube or whatever, but that magical excitement is gone. The sense of community is gone too.

Seeing the announcement of the Wii and waiting in line at Wal-Mart overnight for the release, cash in pocket.

Good times. Hope we find that magical excitement again one day.
Talk to your users.

They are the only people with a vested interest.

If you don't have users, getting users is more important than beta testing.

Good luck.
I think some of Gboard's features depend on the phone and the language, e.g., "fix it."
I've lived in a lot of red states, and the same thing repeatedly happens. I've given up trying to change things. For every 1 person who will care, there are 25 who just check that there is an "R" next to the name of the person. Ignorant votes make educated votes irrelevant.
> What benefit will there be?

Knowing your genetic information is currently of limited value for the majority of people, this I admit. I believe that in the future, however, the promise of precision medicine will be realized, and that having one's genetic information readily available will be crucial to receiving the best treatment possible for many diseases.

For example, take Crohn's Disease (and other inflammatory diseases more generally). The current thinking is that it is highly influenced by genetics, and that a number of different genotypes exist that can result in the phenotype we refer to as Crohn's Disease. It's conceivable that having a better understanding of someone's specific genotype could lead to more precise treatment of their condition.

> And why do you assume that it won't be accompanied by negatives?

I explicitly don't assume this, I said that the benefits will outweigh the drawbacks.

> the sole agent of evil in this world is people.

This is a specious argument. By that same measure, the sole agent of good in the world is also people. But that's irrelevant. Tech can be used both to harm and to benefit, and I'm arguing that personal gene sequencing can and will be used to provide more benefit than harm.
It would be interesting to see if you could train a LLM, given "<A> The foo is definitely xyfied" to exclusively answer "Well, at least two months ago, A thought that the foo was xyfied" rather than opine about foo directly.
> except you don't actually need to load every chunk into memory, only the current frames.

That's a good point. In the general case of reading from a pipe you need to buffer it somewhere. But for file-based inputs the buffering concerns aren't relevant, just the working memory.
Wild the Apple pundits who were weirdly angry about this app acting completely disgusted someone would do this. So strange to see that attitude from the Apple community when some of us are old enough to remember when Apple wasn't in a position of power and we absolutely relied on these sort of projects to exist and work in a Windows dominant world.
Seems tough. Guess they should stop operating that kind of business if they can’t figure out how to do it without scamming people.
US antitrust laws are nominally extremely broad and are basically down to the courts to interpret, so what the law is right now is whatever you can convince the judge, which largely a matter of making a convincing argument that what they're doing is bad.

If the courts get it wrong then you have to go to Congress, sure. But then you're in the same place -- convince Congress that it's bad.

Either way we're having a debate about whether it should be allowed. And the answer is no -- this business model is anti-competitive, for any business, and if existing interpretations of the anti-trust laws don't currently prohibit it, they should.
To add a datapoint, I also gamed a lot (18 and younger) but quit when I started my SWE career some 15 years ago. Have not had a desire to play since then.
Bruh, in our EU F500 tech company, our office internet is so slow and the IT policies so strict, backwards and draconic on what SW, services and ports we can use, that our trusty USB 3.0 USB drives are still the fastest and quickest way to share large files like ISOs between us.

I doubt sneaker-net will die anytime soon. There's literally nothing simpler, faster, more reliable and universally compatible for short distance file transfers than a USB drive.
Replying for a friend: "No"
> has to go to court and looses[sic] when he tries to find out from google who is advertising using his identity

I believe from the article that you linked that the case is still before the High Court and so he has not lost yet.

I wonder would the case have been better made as an instance of identity theft?

Also while you are accurate in saying that the Tánaiste is equivalent to the Vice President in U.S. terms, because they are the deputy head of government. The same being true with respect to Taoiseach. I would like to point out that they are not the same positions. While the U.S. President is commander in chief of the U.S. military, the Taoiseach is not the command in chief in Ireland – that falls to the Uachtarán (the President).

Tánaiste = Deputy Prime Minister

Taoiseach = Prime Minister

Uachtarán = President
What on earth will the buff dude with a blonde flattop do now that he can no longer be Guile at game conventions?
I think it is because of the usual HN-esque disdain for corporate products and their urge to exercise their freedom to choose other products.
There is a lot of flexibility that you get from microkernels outside of isolation that you don't get from virtual machines. I'm not suggesting use one GNU/Hurd VM for one application (similar to what you would get with Qubes). I'm suggesting using one GNU/Hurd VM for many applications.
> If I start using software that listens to my microphone, it immediately mutes any other audio sources.

I wish it would do that... say I'm working and having some music from Youtube in the background. Then I get a Teams call, accept it... and the music plays on, leaving me to frantically search for that damn Chrome tab as I try to explain the person calling that I can't hear them over the music at the moment and to bear with me. I think Teams used to do this on its own, but ever since a macOS update it doesn't (reliably?) work any more - either Teams has some sort of bug, some permission got lost along the way, or macOS is buggy, or Youtube's integration into macOS media control is buggy, I don't know.

> If this is part of the bluetooth spec, the obvious right answer is for the headphones to present themselves as two devices, one for audio output and a separate one for audio input. That way, if the audio input is active, it won't affect audio output. But it also shouldn't be part of the spec, because it's awful behavior.

This doesn't work for protocol reasons. It's either A2DP from source to sink, one way, or SBC in both ways. And no "two device" either, most chipsets can't handle two large-bandwidth transmissions at once - my Samsung phone actually won't let me connect more than my smartwatch and AirPods, and it is not able to dual-play on my AirPods and my JBL box.

Bluetooth is nuts.
Sound "dreamy..." our Scenic City still pays American Water for their monthly extortions =D
I don’t see the outrage. It seems like a signal that the companies are closer than previously described. It is worth checking out, that’s all.
Public everything inside the company. No private rooms. Redirect questions in dms to rooms. Public docs for everything. Everyone with full access to Google drive.

Now your "question to the other side of the world" becomes a slack search, or a docs search, and is even better than in person.
X directly undermines a monopoly on a Western narrative legacy media companies and their activist employees have grown accustom to benefiting from.

Getting favorable access to powerful people corrupts them, preventing them from reporting on the misdeeds of the rich and powerful.

Putting aside all the childish "people say things I don't like" crap aside, these legacy media companies are directly competing with the likes of social media for the same ad revenue.
Two adjectives next to each other doesn't imply a causal relationship between them
> That's alongside the fact I'm almost certain that the account that posted this is a sockpuppet for the company advertising this LLM.

This is the worst form of defence.

I still use Mistral as was clear from the last post. This model is not that good to make me switch. As I said I just want Mistral or the top model to remain open weight and so I want competition.
I used to work for this agency and your description is the most apt way to characterize the dichotomy between SID (SIGINT) and IAD (information assurance) I can think of.
It's happening here, where I'm at (smallish city in the PNW). I've started going to a near-weekly board game meetup where we inevitably talk about more than games (computers, sometimes news of the day). It's not a large group but it's about the same size as the Linux/UNIX groups I participated in a few decades ago.
zero-trust works both ways
I was a huge console gamer in my teens, then transitioned into a PC gamer in my young adult years (helped by the yo-ho attitude of the era), then became aware of the scene and have pretty much treated any AAA title as guaranteed spyware trash until it gets cracked and (fitgirl) repacked.

I play maybe a game a year, where I basically do not sleep for a week, use/develop trainers to get past the grind-ey aspects of the gameplay, and essentially finish the game for the plot, as fast as possible so that I can resume my normal work life of unpaid overtime.

I keep up with interesting games by watching good youtubers like Jacob Gellar[0], but essentially I don't really play any small indie games, with the exception of Dwarf Fortress... though I mostly just like to read the colourful dev blog[1] instead of playing it.

1. The censors do not need to be physically 90 degree aligned to get depth data. And the the crop can be rotated so you do not need to hold the phone at a dutch angle...

2. The censors are 24mp and 12mp, way way way above 1080p (2.1mp). A tilted crop sample will be no issue at all.

Also you are using the term 'appeal to authority' wrong as I am not referencing an outside authority here, I am referencing myself. I'm sorry I've made you a bit angry here, but just calm it down a bit and think it through. The overlayed images of two cameras are slightly mis-aligned, but the overlapping data is more than enough to produce a 2.1mp image. This can work both in traditional stereoscopic or with 3D generated depth data.

I think one thing that threw me though is the the advertising images for this are clearly deceptive. They show 3D generated video that can be viewed from multiple angles, when in actually HVEC is just stereoscopic.
> Apple charges 30% on your second $million

Not exactly. That would be a purely progressive tax like US income taxes. With the Small Business Program, what you say is only true the first time you cross 1 mil. Assuming your revenue never goes down (you can appeal if it does), in all future years you pay the full price. So if your app makes a consistent $1.5 mil / year, you’re paying the full tax on all of that revenue, not just $.5 of it.
I wonder how this will play out when X start offering a payment service. If brands aren't willing to deal with them for ads why would they deal with them for payments?
The booster exploded after separation, which is never a good sign. Normal boosters for modern rockets don't do that.

The second stage exploded as well, possibly because of FTS, possibly not (was it ever confirmed?).

I think the scammers are starting to get wise. I've seen over 50 different accounts running the same ad copy for some car solar defrosting gadget. There's just too many ads for any single one to get a published note and if one does they can delete the individual post.
The 1/0 thing confused me for a while because 0 looks like a circuit (on), and 1 doesn't (0ff). I was also taking electrical engineering classes at the time, and the 1/0 true/false thing was already halfway arbitrary because of active-low pins, and even in software land, "return 0" could mean either true or false depending on the context.
I bet I could easily plug a porn-filled USB into a laptop in Europe.
Hi folks -- Jeremy from Answer.AI (and fast.ai!) here. Happy to answer any questions you have about this new thing that Eric and I are building.

One thing I'm particularly keen to explore is working closely with academic groups to help support research that might help make AI more accessible (e.g. requiring less data or compute, or becoming easier to use, etc). This includes the obvious stuff like quantization, fine-tuning adaptors, model merging, distillation, etc, but also looking for new directions and ideas as well which might otherwise be hard to fund (since academia tends to like to build on established research directions.)

I've opened my DMs at https://twitter.com/jeremyphoward for a while so feel free to ping me there, or also on Discord ('jeremyhoward').
It goes back to a Biblical reference, book of Daniel:

This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass/His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay/Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.

It has been used a lot since then, for something that seems impressive but is actually weak at the base. I'm not sure when "iron and clay" got reduced to just "clay", but it was by at least the early 19th century.

Ah, regulatory capture. An American pastime as old as apple pie, baseball, and tax loopholes.

Telecoms took ENORMOUS sums of money to upgrade their systems and did nothing. Now they want to pass the upgrade costs onto consumers.

These corporate shitlords have enormous legal slush funds to muddy the waters and throw dirt in the air any time reasonable accountability comes their way.

There is no equal power protecting the consumers interest. Claiming that its "inappropriate" to investigate costs is lazy class warfare.
But they keep trying to take down the addons we use to protect us against them: ad blockers.
I HATE how much Cory Doctorow I see on the internet. it's been like this for 20+ years.

This man is well motivated, is doing good work for common people and doing his best to advance the things that need advancement. fantastic.

one thing, though. he is easily the most annoying person on earth, to me. instinctually I go against what he is doing because of it. why does the most annoying person on the planet, according to me, get to coin terrible words like this? there are already so many other words that mean the same thing, and "things getting worse" has been a topic of discussion for everyone on earth at some point or another, going back as far as human speech. but this guy just gets to make up words which suck and everyone loves it?

fuck this guy, I'm turning evil. if C.D. were 1% palatable I would be behind him, but he's not.

can't we find someone who doesn't rub me raw to coin words? this guy gets to coin terrible words and give me two plus decades of full-time activism fatigue and I get downvoted on the shitty orange website for having this opinion.
Neither of those are good for certain people. They might be very good indeed for society as a whole.
