Exactly - the fundamental problem is that it takes an above average person to understand this. Tech is something that most lawmakers, judges, attorneys and jurors don't get and asking them to regulate it is a mistake.

They'll open up the floodgates and average people will end up dealing with fake Epic apps. A decade from now maybe that same courtroom would better appreciate the value of a trusted gatekeeper.
I think Apple has a chance to make a dent with Metal and AAA games with the hundreds of millions of Apple Silicon SoCs with a powerful GPU sold each year.
Thank you, I should have read the white paper better, you are right, the correlation with single parent households is actually one of the weakest.

By the way, do I read correctly from the regression analysis stats, that "single young men age 15-29" is -negatively- correlated with all categories of crime?
Validity of that explanation depends of course on the actual acceleration of the UAP. A human can survive 9-10 g of lateral or front to back acceleration (and less in other directions). Beyond 20-30g there is no way to preserve structural integrity of a human made craft as far as we know. If measurement from both visual and radar data gives more than a 100g then we can claim that the object is not a droid.

One unpopular opinion I have is that with LLM, the difficulty gap between develop LLM vs use LLM is going to be significantly wider, akin to that of chip design, making developing ML/AI skill, while still intelligence wise challenging, less useful in career growth.

Microsoft is not and will never be the hero in any story.

> What prevents literally anybody from continuing to support Chromium? Has Microsoft ran out of competent engineers?

Remember that Microsoft failed at its promise of if we don't match Chrome bug for bug, that is a defect in Edge. They failed and they gave up trying. My personal conspiracy theory is that it costs well over a billion dollars a year, not including marketing dollars or bribery dollars, just to keep Chrome running.

I don't think Google will pull the rug on Chromium but then again all bets are off if Google has new overlords or if Google isn't making that USD 200B+ revenue year over year. Things feel permanent probably right before giving up the ghost. I think if Microsoft felt like it could avoid using Chromium with its own stuff, it would have never touched Chromium.

tl;Dr I doubt Microsoft will put in the money or energy it takes to maintain Chromium.

If you didn't have LLMs on your list of tech predictions a year or two ago why should you have any credibility in predicting the next breakthrough?
If you have sufficient input on the work in question, then it's a collaboration between the two of you even if you never personally hold a chisel. So, yes.

For a counterexample: suppose you're really good at sketching, and you go to the Louvre and copy out the Mona Lisa. Were you the sole artist of your sketch? Leonardo Da Vinci certainly wasn't drawing on your notebook.
Most other cars I have driven that have active lane keep, if they deem you to not be holding the steering wheel, they just give up and stop steering entirely, so the car just goes in a straight line and crashes.

Yet others are programmed to auto-shut off at <40mph so even if the car slows on its own it will crash when it gets below 40mph if the driver is unconscious.

Tesla will punish you by not letting you use autopilot until the next time you exit and re-enter the car, but before the punishment starts it will at least continue autopiloting and lane-keeping all the way to 0mph, and switch on the emergency flashers.
It would be interesting to hear of the evolutionary benefit of this, considering the stage of life it is at.
Show HN: A Spotify-like yearly recap for devs using GitHub contributions
Recently, I came across Spotify's wrapped showing cool insights from my the music I heard in 2023.

Last week we casually started discussing about our cards (the Spotify highlights) in our office and then we wondered if we can look at our development journey the same way in 2023. That was it, everyone put their hacker hats on, started building Unwrapped to reflect on the dev journey just using your Github contributions!

Hope you also find joy in reflecting back at your journey in 2023!
The best part - we made it open source . Can't wait to hear your feedback! Contributions are welcome :)

Americans do well on PISA compared to their ethnic relatives. <https://www.unz.com/isteve/the-new-2018-pisa-school-test-sco...> Asian Americans do better than Asians; whites do better than Europeans; Latinos do better than Latin Americans; and blacks do better than Africans.

Hispanics and especially blacks' scores drag the US average down. Both white and Asian Americans score higher than Canada (and white+Asian is essentially Canada's racial makeup), and higher than New Zealand, Australia, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France, Norway, and the UK; Estonia is below US Asians but above white Americans. Norway is by far the wealthiest Nordic state but its average is only two points higher than the US national average, despite not having a demographic that is 13% of the population and scores 85 points below the white American average.

(Disclaimer: I have not reviewed this year's PISA results. However, I know of no reason why the above analysis would not still apply.)

> Revocation is essentially the Achilles heel of JWTs

By the nature of the problem you have to store some kind of a list of tokens. Either a black list as with JWTs or a white list as with classic session tokens. There is no way around it. This makes both approaches practically the same.

One can argue that the black list will in general be shorter than the white list, but in a case of a serious attack, would it really be so?

I am afraid that the community will now abandon JWTs and move to biscuits, macaroons, buns and meringues as they did with classic session tokens, throwing away the tools and security practices.
You can of course use Macaroons with OAuth, which was something that I tried to get the OAuth WG interested in, with little success. But I did get it added to my then employer’s AS product: https://neilmadden.blog/2020/07/29/least-privilege-with-less...

(Not sure why the images in that post are suddenly broken, will try to fix later).

This also reminds me that I need to finish off my own take on Biscuits/Macaroons that takes a completely different approach based on Diffie-Hellman. I call them Florentines.
It’s like IBM heard they should do DEI, so they hired consultants/advocates for it and set targets and then fired people who couldn’t meet them. Then also said out loud things they shouldn’t have.

Now they are confused why they are attacked and ridiculed.
> For whatever reason ( . . . insert theory . . . ) engineered stone manufacture and cutting is much much much worse wrt health issues.

My theory: engineered stone allowed us plebs to get stone benches. Previously we had stainless, Formica and other bench tops that were less toxic to work with.
Qt Widgets Rendering Pipeline
There is no reason to believe that we can achieve brain-like success at 3D vision with any current approach. As such, having multimodal sensors that animals don't have access to seems like a much more promising approach, and far closer to a sure bet. Basically, leverage technology that far surpasses animal senses to make up for the much dumber processing powers.

If Tesla had been limiting its ideas to theoretical research, or even applied research, I'd be all for vision only as a valid research avenue. But they are putting this thing on the streets where I walk, and they are charging people thousands of dollars with claims that it works today, and that it will do wonders tomorrow. That is simply not acceptable for a green field research concept that probably has decades left in front of it.

I'm definitely a niche, but as someone who has never been a super big eater and has lost most of my sense of taste, this kind of product seems great.

That said, for me it has nothing to do with productivity. I just want a single meal I could repeatably consume to maintain a healthy diet. (Ideally, with as little effort as possible on my part because it all taste the same to me)
> Exactly, silica is not the problem

It is. The air-driven rock drills were called "widowmakers" by miners because of silicosis that quickly reaped its operators.

I'm building a house, and I have a stone countertop installed. None of the cutting was done on-site. All the work was done in a specialized workshop.
Come on. Damaged global psyche? Seems a bit hyperbolic and unsupported by evidence.

The addressable market of rockets is considerably smaller than the addressable market selling ads... So there you go.

I couldn’t really tell if you were being snarky.
Yes, I was leaning more towards the "personal project" idea as well, something around document understanding. I subscribe to the "learning by doing/immersion" philosophy as well (upto a large extent).

The problem with projects is one's understanding tends to go more and more specialised, and collaborating/connecting with other ML engineers requires a broader knowledge base sometimes.

Also, for giving advice and useful inputs to others (on their projects), I feel a balanced knowledge base is useful.

Hence the question.

I know it's arm64 but you can hack Mac Studio and put Linux on it. Putting Linux on Apple Silicon makes it go so much faster than MacOS if you're doing command line development work. With x86 there really isn't anything you can buy as far as I know that'll go as fast as apple silicon for cpu inference. It's because the RAM isn't integrated into the CPU system on chip. For example, if you get a high-end x86 system with 5000+ MT/s then you can expect maybe ~15 tokens per second at CPU inference, but a high end Mac Studio does CPU inference at ~36 tokens per second. Not that it matters though if you're planning to get a high-end Nvidia card for your x86 computer. Nvidia GPUs go very fast and so does Apple Metal.

The vast majority of people do not care about security, privacy, etc. at all.

I would have said point and click is 3-dimensional.

Otherwise, how can you read the text through the edges of buttons before clicking?
No, classical general relativity is entirely time symmetric: time symmetry means here that if you have a solution for the equations that describe nature, then you still have a solution after you make the coordinate transformation t -> -t. This follows directly from the fact that the Einstein field equations involve only tensors and are thus diffeomorphism invariant.

For the case of a black hole, the solution you get by reversing time describes a white hole., which is again an entirely valid solution to the Einstein field equations.

Well the evidence is actually in the white paper that the article is about. Amazingly, in the white paper the correlation between crimes and single parent households is one of the weakest. The strongest by far is poverty.

It must have taken quite some guts and determination to spin this into a story that claims that fatherlessness is the root cause of crime. But it makes sense if you check who the authors of the paper and of the WSJ article are.

Please have a look if you want to be convinced:

Now you're just haggling over price. Ask yourself, what's more expensive, a good security team, or getting hacked? For LastPass, it's existential.

It just depends on the size of the respective orgs. If engineering is 5 people, a dedicated security person doesn't make sense. At 500 you might be able to get away with one. At 5,000 engineers though, you real do need more than one good security expert.

TBF Google does have alternative app stores. That's why people who didn't read the article or lawsuit are confused that this lawsuit succeeded but Apple failed. Of course all this fails to take into account why Google actually loss. it was using that monopolistic pressure to push away OEM deals. That's defintiely where the monopoly was being used anti-competitively.

But yea, really would like both mobile OS's to open up more. Apple is especially bad because they can effectively ban stuff of an entire OS if it doesn't follow store policies. no 18+ apps, no emulators, no file explorers (tho these two were loosened overtime), no alternate browsers unless it's a safari skin. Can't imagine Microsoft getting away with this on Windows at any time.

Perhaps I'm readint it wrong bu this comment is crticising someone for not using added language features. Maybe the author does not need them. "YAGNI". IMO, it should be the author's choice whether or not to utilise certain features. As someone else noted in another comment, C89 is more portable than C11 or C17. To me, C89 is like Bourne shell. An author can choose to write scripts in Bash but they will not be as portable as ones written in Dash, nor as fast. The only constraint I have run into with C89, when compiling lex.yy.c, is that it has a limit of 32767 lines.
I would guess it's just like a very complex dam bursting. Nothing intended, just side effects of very complex systems no longer functioning properly.

> The situation on the west bank shows that stopping the rockets is an achievable goal. Extreme ... fine. The west is full of extreme organisations of all kinds that almost never hurt anyone because they're well-policed. That is a situation that would be a LOT more acceptable than the current situation.

The west have had plenty of organizations that did regularly hurt people despite being extensively policed until the conditions that created them were addressed, despite those conditions being far less extreme than full-on apartheid. E.g. take the IRA.

The situation in the West Bank shows it can be contained for some time, and while doing so you'll see the moderate groups' lose support as the situation drags on in favour of more extreme movements unless you actually address the underlying issue. E.g. consider how the support for Fatah has steadily declined on the West Bank, while support for Palestinian Islamic Jihad has massively increased, along with Lion's Den - a group that is only a year old, yet outpolled Fatah in Washington Institute polls earlier this year, and that was formed largely out of disaffection by Fatah's lack of action.

Any belief you'll be able to maintain a state of relative calm without addressing the oppression is a belief that a population of millions will just give up and resign themselves to living under an apartheid regime forever, and that's boundlessly naive.

> The same was said about Daesh/IS/PIJ and this has turned out to be false.

The populations under their control were not subjected to decades of occupation by an apartheid state, and they imposed themselves from the outside and were the ones to oppress the populations that lived under them. The notion they are comparable is bizarre, and I've never heard anyone say that about them.
The striking similarity of this pattern with what real world politicians are doing is not a coincidence
I just tried a lot and the best thing you can get is to do something practical (most ML is empirical anyway) and pick something that you can train on small machine. I picked working with audio since it usually don't need too much data, big networks and can be trained easily on a single 4090.
According to their docs, the NodeJS and Python libraries seem to be wrappers around the Rust implementation.

In the case of NodeJS they're using WebAssembly to run the compiled Rust code, which is an interesting approach.

If they're just going to wrap the rust implementation, I'm surprised they haven't offered Ruby FFI or PHP FFI wrappers too.
First off, having Saddam Hussein as a group's representative isn't going to win any credibility points.

One failure of big companies is they let themselves be distracted with consulting fads and bikeshed on distractions rather than hire the most effective people globally. Letting unconscious bias pervade an organization is one thing, but being absurd as to "undo" the past by different discriminatory, quota-based standards lower for some groups but not others is counterproductive. Furthermore, anyone of integrity isn't going to work somewhere like that because they have too much self-respect to let anyone say they didn't meet the bar or were shown favoritism.

Also, if the material is expensive, it pays off to measure exactly and order the material cut to the correct dimensions rather than just cut it on site, because if you slip with the angle grinder your mistake costs 2000€.
