You basically don't attend the public sessions at events to learn things you couldn't learn otherwise. At least keynotes are almost always streamed and companies give out very little in the way of datasheets and other printed information which is all available online anyway.

Yeah, there are breakout sessions, and they're a good way to have some focused time on something you're interested in. But anyone who regularly goes to conferences will tell you it's mostly about the hallway track.

This is still the number one problem with Starship. There were all these wild claims of an exotic new liquid cooled reentry system at the beginning. But because physics they ended up going right back to using ablative. They'll suffer the same fate as the shuttle for it. Nothing has fundamentally changed in ceramic or adhesive technology since then, and the lack of aerodynamic control means they will have to survive even steeper descents with greater thermal load. I imagine the idea of Starship as an earth return vehicle in general will probably be abandoned, so they can optimize it for interplanetary transport and lunar operations.
The whole discussion is about Google, they do let you use whatever store, and also let you compile and deploy your own Android if you're up for the task and your phone manufacturer allows you to boot what you want.

I'd too prefer Apple to be forced by court to open their devices for everything, not holding my breath.

Sure, in the short term yes. You can't fix the lack of funds from advertisers with subscriptions in a few days.

But eventually I hope it will. Being dependent on advertisers is kryptonite for platforms of user speech, regardless if it's YouTube or X.
I'm using the new generation of small models to do semantic search for music lyrics. The first step is giving the model the text and asking, "What is this text about?" Without fine-tuning and only minimal prompt engineering these models can understand most languages, pull out the most relevant phrases, and list major themes and speculative ideas of what the lyrics mean. I'm super impressed with the results. Reading the answers feels like grading ambitious undergraduate student essays (both the good and the bad).
Indeed it would. But then the source training data would be bad to lose too. That already exists. I understand it would be a higher level of damage to lose the model of course, but the benefits outweigh the risks, and these could be managed via a very security-hardened product.
You could just go look at the videos section.
That bluetooth constraint is probably due to battery usage.
I really wish authoritarians would keep their grubby hands off Section 230.
I live out of town in southern Thailand, I have 500/500mbps internet that I pay 600THB/month for (around $17USD). Using the same equipment, same fibre and more expensive transit than a US ISP would pay (which could easily do entirely settlement free peering with every network that matters). Moreover I paid nothing for the install despite them needing to bring fibre down my alley off the main road.

US ISPs are just price gouging. The fat salaries and bonuses their executives have received over the last 2 decades and the dividends they pay their shareholders all support this conclusion.

There is intense competition here between a few major players all with their own networks. i.e real market forces that keep prices down, products continually improving and customer satisfaction high.

The idea that there are "service areas" with only a single provider should tell you everything you need about collusion to maintain regional monopolies.

This is an amazing idea! Am I missing something or does this sound like a viable way to build cross ecosystem packages with strong sandboxing? I am thinking generating and compiling wasm to a native lib, then calling that native library from pip/npm/maven/nuget packages. I wonder if one could auto generate those binding and build a repo that pushes to all ecosystems from a single code base.

My use case would be a wasm based validation lib that could be used in the browser, in edge proxies like cloudflare workers, and in a variety of backends(py/node/.net/java). This approach would negate the need to package a wasm engine like wasmtime.
I reported one of these Elon deep fake ads. Google's response was:

If you think a large refactor is just renaming some stuff then it makes sense you think this.

At least so far, Bandcamp has not changed after the sale (neither sale). You can still buy music, and try it out for multiple album streams before buying (unless the artist or label disable it, which is rare), and download as FLAC.

Granted, not always useful if what you want is from major labels, but still, keep in mind that there are options.

"Unfaithful"

I used to hold that view, but the fact is the vast majority of those voters ask this question and declare themselves independents while asking:

Vote for what?

They want to know what politicians will do to earn those votes.

What you call unfaithful is actually a direct failure to garner votes.

And that means speaking with people, not at or to them.

It means actually asking for those votes too. Go and watch some politicians and in particular the one who lost to Trump. There is almost no ask and a whole lot of speaking at or to people not with them.

The unfaithful ignore voter shaming, again something I used to do:

A no vote is a yes vote for the enemy

Unfaithful voters cannot be counted on. Think it through: a politician who knows they have votes no matter what has very little incentive to work for those votes...

Today I do not judge others for their votes.

Our future is in the votes to be cast and why we might think about casting those votes.

And I do not blame or shame anyone either.

It is on those of us running for office to get out there, talk with the people, garner those votes and then act on them.
It's not the same. The car, road, tires are manufactured for a very specific purpose and they are engineered to exact specifications. People require a license to drive. In all 50 states, you are required to have insurance. Every parameter in the situation you described besides the random event of the nail being there, is controlled as much as reasonably possible to limit risk. Even the nail's existence is considered when the car and tires are engineered and manufactured

When you ask the AI to generate something, it's a black box. Even the creators have limited insight into how it will behave or what it will create.

there's beauty in the limitation, though. if you've never experienced a "single conversation dinner" I highly recommend it as a way to get fascinating, deeper insights on a particular topic.

find it works best when the conversation is less outward ("how would you solve healthcare in America?") and more inward ("how do you stay motivated when it feels like everything is working against you?") where each person's personal experience and sharing doesn't have to be directly relevant to you, but you can interpret your own thoughts/feelings/experiences through a different lens.

It sounds like we agree more than I originally understood. I do care about treatment, and despite what my comment might have suggested, I think blame should be wholly separate from punishment or remediation. I don't care particularly if we spend a lot of time blaming drug addicts, only if we get the streets cleaned up, and their lives improved.
> Are you imagining small sci-fi rapid thrusters throughout that can generate enough thrust to counteract?

That's exactly, what i imagined, at least.
It’s a good question. I can see why the default behavior is the “user friendly” (but lower quality) option. But it’s confusing that there doesn’t seem to be any pro-quality dual device headsets for those willing to go through the extra hassle of setting them up. BoM can’t be a factor these days?
An excellent point around data retention and training data. It's not like you can scrub out bits of the neural network weights. I guess such a product would have to factor this in.
>They are not targeting airliners for the current generation.

Like someone else said in the comments, (if true) this tech seems to have already been used in military bombers for a long time now, so to me it's weird it hasn't made it to civilian aircrafts already from the civilian arms of military contractors, and instead needs to be reinvented by a start-up.

Just Google it.
In real life the answer is:

Sue the tire manufacturer, sue whoever did maintenance on the car, and if the owner was negligent then sue the owner through their insurance.
This is very reminiscent of the Prenda law saga: https://arstechnica.com/tag/prenda-law/
> At the interface to _literally any_ system call, unsafe starts to creep out. Either in the wrapper implementation, or in the interface _to_ the system, or even leaking through the wrapper to the caller.

It’s quite rare to have to make syscalls directly in Rust, just like it is in c++. Most code in any large enough system is related to the internal logic of the system, not to its interface with the outside world. And when you _do_ need to interface with the outside world, you can use a wrapper (lots of the standard library is basically wrappers around syscalls; this is true in any language). And no, in Rust unsafety doesn’t typically “leak through” interfaces, unless those interfaces are buggy.

> why not just write safe cpp wrappers?

There’s no such thing. It’s not possible to write a safe interface to c++ code in the sense that that term is used by the Rust community. In Rust, “safe interface” means: assuming there are no bugs in the underlying code, and the client code never invokes `unsafe`, using the interface cannot cause undefined behavior. This is impossible to guarantee in c++.

> I love Rust, but using it for anything nontrivial makes the "safe" patina really fade. You're quickly writing what feels like C, with MaybeUninit<X> all over.

This is not true at all in my experience. I work on Materialize, surely one of the more non-trivial Rust programs that exists. We use very little unsafe/MaybeUninit/C-like code. Do you have an example of a codebase you’re thinking of that does this?
Probably for the same reason that most Bluetooth keyboards (with which we type high-sensitivity passwords!) still use a quite insecure encryption algorithm, i.e. some combination of incredibly bloated specs (Bluetooth alone is thousands of pages) and slow industry adoption of said complex specs.

Add to that the additional patent risk inherent to audio codecs, and you get the status quo.
yup, I don't see YouTube as an outlier in this regard

I do really enjoy my ad free YouTube, 8 years and counting, the $20 / month for 5 accounts is very much worth it
I've learned the same. But I've never learned to keep pace. You can't stay in sync when you're constantly lagging.

(Then again, I can't dance well either, so maybe I have some Generalized Pace-Keeping Disorder; is that a thing in DSM-5?)
That's a really good point. Napkin math on an Airbus A321 gives about 81 milliseconds of time to react, not far off from the 1/10th of a second they cite for their prototype.
Both camps have coexisted for some time. Really there's more like a spectrum of opinions. Different opinions get varying levels of traction in media over time in a way that's somewhat noisy. The trends show up longer term. I don't think you can infer a shift in overall opinion from a couple weeks of news and discussion.
Thank you, that is an interesting response to read, but what I was trying to communicate with that sentence was that if you read that thread and others in good faith you can get a fairly nuanced picture and not that it is one in and of itself. I am certainly not implying that you get a nuanced picture from simply reading a mailing list which I described as being littered with rants in the very same sentence that you quoted parts of.

As for the linked thread itself, I just ignored the "Real Programmers Don't Use Pascal" parts (it gets old really fast) and what I arrived it is largely reflected in what I already wrote in the parent and ancestors.

> So what's the holdup?

Judging by the incredibly fractured state of bluetooth codecs in general I'm gonna blame patents and the completely fucked up and maligned governance of the bluetooth standards body.

You only have to take one glance at the professional performance space to understand that the problems were solved before bluetooth even existed, and today there are completely free and open codecs in use in wireless mic and in-ear-monitors that beat the speed-of-sound latency of a speaker 15 feet away. That's the point of professional monitors, after all.

The entire bluetooth ecosystem is the most gigantic tech clusterfuck there is. It's amazing it even works.

You mention at the end that you can automatically switch input sources with SoundSource. How do you do this? I have SoundSource and it does not do this.

Very cool. DNA is more than than its base pairs. I think a lot of hype around genetics in the 90s/00s was the thought that if we could read it end to end, then we would have full power over it. Really it just gave us the information to learn the secondary and tertiary effects caused by chomatin, promotoers, and epigenetics that really govern life.
Change the situation to someone walking down the street and stepping on a nail then.

There isn't any laws or regulations forcing people to have licenses for walking, or special nail laws that would allow people to sue nail manufactures, because a nail was dropped on the street. It is not controlled at all.

Same should apply to AI. For things that just generate images or text, that should be treated no different than any other word processing or image editing software, which are all completely unregulated.

There aren't regulations forcing photoshop to monitor its users to make sure that people aren't making * evil * images.
Does anyone have any technical insights as to what happened here? Was it related to Google's new account deletion policy or something totally separate?

Eliminating duplication and cleaning code is a different type of refactoring than supporting concurrency, which is much much harder.

Cleaning up code also follows some well established patterns, performance work is much less pattern-y.

Codebases like FFMPEG are one of the kind. I bet you need 10 or 100 times more understanding than the react thing you mentioned above.

One day maybe AI can do it, but it probably won't be LLM. It would be something which can understand symbols and math.

Comcast (aka XFinity) does this too. You have to yearly re-subscribe for a "promotion".

Latest blog post from Trek10 Sr. Architect Joel Haubold lays out a how-to guide using the Node.js Lambda runtime.
That’s all well and good (and good info) but you’re not factoring in pixel alignment. There’s loss because you need to account for the video being at a non-aligned offset at any given view from the native screen pixels, and the video may be presented at different planar angles or distances from the user.

Therefore there would be some level of interpolation causing loss of clarity. In general, you’d want to double resolutions as a form of super sampling.

The 1080p here would be just about cutting it then at the initial 35 degrees you mentioned.

I think for the natural FoV of the phone camera and the types of content people tend to shoot (families etc) that a 50 degree view might be uncomfortably large. Perhaps for further afield content like landscapes etc
