There's no such thing as unlimited anything in business.

Every unlimited plan simply means, "we won't tell you the limits."

Can confirm. Happened with me couple times. It would just go off the airplane more altogether.

Besides, "airplane" mode is just an icon on the screen. If it has WiFi with a known password (or without one) within reach there's really no way of knowing if it's phoning home.

Amazon never denied the fact that they use their devices to collect data. That's why they are (relatively) cheap. Kindle, Echo, Fire TV - they are al presumed to provide data to Amazon on customer's preferences allowing for better ad targeting etc. If this data can be sold to third parties, even better, more revenue. This is not illegal and I'm not even sure it's unethical, as long as the buyers are aware of the deal.
> When google phased out the unlimited plan, he's not paying for a non-unlimited plan, and his account entered a read-only state.

You make it sound like he could have chosen to keep paying Google under a different plan, but I can't find any way for him to pay Google to keep the data for him short of creating 100+ dummy "users" in his workspace to get their 2TB each (which I'm sure Google would totally be okay with) [0].

Google is firing him as a customer, which is their prerogative, but they're doing it on a timeframe that means he can't actually get the data out in time. That's what the (actual) headline says, and those are the facts.

That whole "you're not paying"'thing is really a straw man at this point too. When Google was young and eager to be a good netizen I'd have agreed with that and said it was all part of helping to make the web better.

But they've been entrenched for years now, completely dominate so many aspects of the web and get plenty of value out of even their free users.

Given their size and stranglehold on just about everything, pulling an "oops, sorry, I guess you get what you pay for" is just ludicrous at this point.

And sorry if it seems like I'm arguing directly with you, that's not my intention. But I see this a lot and have gone from saying it myself to vehemently disagreeing with it over the last decade or so.

Right? This page looks like basically every other generative image AI announcement page as well as basically every model page. They show a bunch of their cherry-picked examples that are still only like "pretty good" (relative to the rest of the industry, it's incredible tech compared to something like deepdream) and give you nothing to really differentiate it.
M1 Max has 400GB/s of memory bandwidth and a 4090 has 1TB/s of memory bandwidth, M1 Max has 32 GPU cores and a 4090 has 16,000. The difference is more about how well the software is optimized for the hardware platform than any performance difference between the two, which are frankly not comparable in any way.
What if there was syntax that was built into a language that required annotating exceptions functions that threw exceptions. That way at least you would know that an exception was possible to be thrown in a function and could handle it appropriately
Im trying the edge swipe thing now again on my iPhone and it’s pretty finicky and i sometimes need 2-3 times to get it right.

So, like in the past, I will dismiss these swipe gestures after a while and revert to hunting for the back button in the end.

Also, lots of apps have their “Done” or “Close” buttons on top, which are equivalent to “back”.

Apple should really enforce some consistency here.
How does this compare to insanely-fast-whisper though? https://github.com/Vaibhavs10/insanely-fast-whisper

I think that not using optimizations allows this to be a 1:1 comparison, but if the optimizations are not ported to MLX, then it would still be better to use a 4090.

Having looked at MLX recently, I think it's definitely going to get traction on Macs - and iOS when Swift bindings are released https://github.com/ml-explore/mlx/issues/15 (although there might be some C++20 compilation issue blocking right now).
This page might be somewhat helpful: https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/docs/generative-ai/image/...

It also includes a link to the TTP form, although the form itself seems to make no reference to Imagen being part of the program anymore, confusingly. (Instead indicating that Imagen is GA.)

Instead of a simple comment about historical grants, you perhaps could educate yourself on current state grants and efforts. Trying and failing previously doesn't mean trying something different shouldn't be done, you know? Should we just give up because of previous mistakes? No, absolutely not. That is failure.
Yeah usually the thing about deadlines is that you should communicate them as harshly as possible, then let them slip when they do arrive. I.e. they want people off the service voluntarily and deal with the tiny fraction that refuses.

Starlink (and Musk in general) have been over-promising and under-delivering for years now. Starlink claimed 150Mbps back in 2020 and that speeds would double to 300Mbps by the end of 2021.[1] Instead, speeds have halved.[2]

At this point, T-Mobile is likely serving more rural high speed internet customers with greater speeds (T-Mobile has 4.2M home internet customers and Ookla's stats show 34% to be rural for 1.4M; Starlink has 2M customers and assuming two-thirds are in the US and of those 83% are rural would make for 1.1M).

Innovation is simply a result of trying to imitate, but adding errors. That's how humans do it. Add in some darwinism so that the best 'innovations' survive. Made a mistake in making food? Oh, that's a new recipe. Can't really remember how to tell the story? Well, that's a new story. Accidentally kicked a ball while trying to just walk? I just invented soccer. And so on.
Yeah Google made a mistake, being online so long, having a huge legal team. They should know there is 0.1 - 1% users to will conciously or unconciously misuse your system and drive your cost up. Better to have fair use limits from the start.
> I mean 237 TB of data is an excessive amount of data.

If it's excessive, then Google shouldn't have offered an unlimited data plan. They could have called it a 100 TB plan, but they chose to call it unlimited to make it sound better and then canceled it once people took them up on the offer. Regardless of whether that kind of action is legal, it's a shady business practice.

For that matter, there's nothing wrong with Google discontinuing the plan going forward, but they had plenty of options for making the transition more fair and building consumer trust without hurting their bottom line too much. For example, they could have converted his account to a 250TB account and tripled its price, at which point he wouldn't be in immediate danger of losing his files but would be pressured into gradually moving to a more cost effective solution.

It’s not slander if it’s true, right?
It is clickbait. Tesla hasn't "recalled" 2M vehicles, they're pushing a software patch. "Recall" is specifically jargon. It's a regulatory action. However (and this is precisely why this headline is clickbait) it has an alternate, more common meaning to the general population, which is "your car has a defective part, is unreliable, and needs to be brought in to have that part replaced."

This is a "recall" the same way your code needs a "recall" when you find a bug. It's not.
It's funny. A conversation with 5 people is nice. 10 is hard. 100 is impossible.

So conversation could be called unscalable that way.

So the internet, social media, big forums like this, paradoxically, fail.

Nick Bostrom: Unfinished Fable of the Sparrows [video]
This article aligns with a lot of my person experience. I'd add a few of my own observations on design systems:

1. The team making the design system needs to be really passionate about making a design system specifically

2. Everyone on the design system (DS) team needs to be pretty far in their careers, and have a few failed or quasi-successful attempts in their past experience.

3. Everyone's skills should overlap but each individual should bring their own depth/area of expertise.

4. I've never seen a "contributing back" model work, really. There can be some collaboration, or specific asks, but when you have a really cohesive DS team, they took the time to become that cohesive and it shows.

5. No matter how good the docs are, there will always be people who don't read the docs. I'm tempted to go as far as to say that I think there should be an onboarding course on how to use the design system that teams have to take before they can use it. (I legit don't know how else to reasonably solve this issue).

6. Make it compliant with accessibility requirements (at least bare minimum WCAG Success Criteria). I've seen that alone drive adoption for design systems.

I've been creating for web for 25+ years now, and I've only seen 1 or 2 successful design systems. It's so easy to get it completely wrong, or get off track.

Indeed people have raised such worries, see e.g. Thomas Metzinger(a philosophy of mind researcher)'s presentation "Three types of arguments for a global moratorium on synthetic phenomenology".

I don't think we're just there yet (at the point where we have to worry about currently existing AI suffering or being conscious), but I do worry how many people's emotional reactions of the type "of course AI can't ever be conscious, it's just a computer program" will impede a decent debate and coordinated decision-making about this.
In the old days hackers knew about Echelon and how the five-eyes traded data back and forth so they both didn't "technically" break their own domestic spying laws.

Yes indeed, those subsidies were intended to go to the major telcom companies who lobbied for them. Starlink (and Musk) receiving them would be an unintended consequence and ruin the plan.

Latest Jetbrains Qodana release promises brand-new code quality updates
NHSTA needs to reevaluate the usage of “recall” in situations where nothing is being physically recalled to the manufacturer’s facilities. It is only confusing people.

There are much clearer ways to phrase what has occurred like “Regulators force Tesla to issue mandatory OTA update to address issues with auto pilot”

I built HackYourNews.com (free) to tackle exactly this. Here's how this story showed up there:

Dehyped title: Microsoft considers nuclear energy including small modular reactors to power data centers and AI ambitions due to energy demands.

Summary:

Microsoft is exploring using nuclear energy to power its data centers and AI ambitions. They posted a job listing for a principal program manager to lead their nuclear energy strategy. They are specifically interested in small modular reactors, as they are supposed to be easier and cheaper to build than large traditional nuclear plants. However, small modular reactors would still face challenges like developing domestic supply chains for nuclear fuel and long-term storage of nuclear waste. Microsoft did not provide details on their nuclear plans or how they would address these issues. While nuclear energy does not produce greenhouse gases, there are debates around its role in addressing climate change and managing radioactive materials.

Comments:

Microsoft is considering using nuclear power to provide a reliable source of energy for its AI workloads. Some commenters expressed skepticism that this plan will actually be implemented, noting that similar announcements have been made in the past without follow through. Others argued that nuclear could provide a predictable energy source to match Microsoft's predictable energy needs. There was also a discussion around the relative costs of different power sources, with some claiming fossil fuels impose hidden long-term costs while nuclear has reliable long-term energy generation.

I think that 4090 has 16000 ALUs, not "cores" (let's call a component capable to execute instructions independently from others, a "core"). And M1 Max probably has more than 1 ALU in every core, otherwise it resembles an ancient GPU.
Such OTA's by auto makers should be required to be reviewed by a 3rd party. A bad update can kill people.

I assume OTAs for planes have a strict process defined or approved by the FAA which needs to be followed. Does the NTSB have such a thing in place or is it just the wild west?
I believe those versions of Pascal that required you to also define PFoo for every type Foo you define are not so long ago (e.g. to receive a pointer to a type as a function parameter, you had to declare the type "pointer to foo" first and give it a name, and use that in the function signature). I don't follow Pascal, but it may still be required in some cases in modern versions of the language.

There is also the problem of not being able to define local variables (e.g. to hold the result of intermediate computations) right there and then. Even in Delphi until very recently, you have / had to declare each single local variable above the function body, below the function signature, _before assignment_. That is worse than C89 declaration style like used in Linux until recently (may be ongoing. I've dealt enough with that code to say that it's often a pain to have a lot of variables around that don't hold valid values.

So we already have two significant defects that produce friction in basic use. It feels like Duplo, not Lego, because important basic usecases require so much verbosity that it becomes cumbersomse to read and write. And I assume that is a big reason why the language has seen less adoption / has even lost adoption where it had already gotten some.

Some aspects of the Borland compilers (like performance) are genuinely nice though. And that it is in no small part due to the language structure enabling them.
For sqinn it's because of its design: Shuffling that much data over process boundaries takes time. For zombie, more pprof would be needed to explain the behaviour.

> - A person with a rainbow flag is not necessarily gay

This is true in a meaninglessly technical way I guess, but any average well travelled american adult woudld agree that if you see a student-aged protester at a city council meeting in Berkeley with a rainbow flag, there is a really high probability that their rainbow flag attire is meant to show support for LGBT causes.

In your analogy, the person was ordering the "fries with as much ketchup as you need", which McDonalds was specifically advertising for people who need a lot of ketchup. Also we would live in a world where eating a few hundred ketchup packets wouldn't be very unusual.

Go to the Internet Archive and look at the Workspace pricing page of two years ago. They put it front and center that you would get "as much storage as you need". They also made you go through sales, so if they only intended to sell the product to people buying hundreds of seats, that would have been totally possible. They didn't.

> The people who decry the "nanny state" tend to oppose requirements for these, as well.

I’m sure you can find some people who find safer crumple zones unreasonable, but I don’t think most people fit into this category.

Automatic braking is far less clear cut, and as someone who prefers cars with safe frames, I don’t yet trust the car to know when it’s the right time to brake (some collision avoidance features are getting way better).

> I wouldn't call "when the driver door opens at speed" to be "indiscriminate".

I would. The car doesn’t know why the door was opened at speed, or what the consequences of braking in that moment might be.

The driver has a better chance of knowing these thing.

Furthermore, if the driver isn’t prepared for this behavior, the car has now created a dangerous situation for the driver, regardless of who is at fault if it causes a rear-end collision. A collision that would not have happened if not for the automatic behavior.

I have a friend who is allergic to bees. While driving one day (they were in the passenger seat), a bee made an appearance. It must have flown in through the sunroof at some point, and started flying around in a rather agitated fashion. When it landed on the edge of the driver door, I opened it slightly (at speed) and let the wind carry it away.

I think this is the only time I’ve ever opened the door while driving, but the one thing I did not need at that moment was my car thinking it knew better than me.

Until self driving tech has truly arrived, I’d argue this kind of automatic behavior is pretty indiscriminate. This is not the same as a collision avoidance sensor that knows the car is about to hit something.

Maybe I’m wrong and most people who open the door while driving are trying to escape the car and would benefit from slower speed. I doubt it. And if this is the case, one wonders if braking would work anyway (why else is someone trying to exit the car while moving?).
>And he was never paying "a lot of money" for this.

You're being obtuse: "a lot of money" in this context is a relative amount and you know that.
Google desperately needs to get their platform/docs in order. It is incredibly difficult to use any of their new AI stuff. I have access to Imagen (which was a rodeo to get on its own), but do not know if it v1 or v2 for example.
