I think this must happen all the time. As they say, ideas are cheap. It's likely that ALL of them had the seq-to-seq idea cross their mind at some point before it was acted on, so if credit is assigned to whoever said it out loud first, there's going to be disagreement, since most people don't remember the full details of every conversation. It's also possible for someone to be skeptical of their own idea, so that argument isn't compelling to me either. Ultimately credit usually goes to the people who do the hard work to prove out the idea, so it seems like the system worked as intended in this case.
Confused about changes in tipping customs? You’re not alone.
Yeah, the Mazda physical interface is great. More car manufacturers seem to be adopting the wheel to control CarPlay which is a lot nicer than reaching over to use the touch screen.

I just wish the Mazda software was similarly well-designed. They have so many on-screen popups, for everything from "Warning, screens can be distracting! Select okay to acknowledge." to "Your XM radio has lost connection" when I'm not listening to the XM radio. And they display their own popups over CarPlay while CarPlay is active, which I basically never want to see.
Why does this need to be something that can shut down? Has anyone considered releasing a locally-run utility to convert the controller to a bluetooth one?

I benchmarked a good sized app (ran a black-box QA suite multiple times) while monitoring performance and req/response times with Prometheus/Grafana with Ruby 3.2.

With YJIT enabled memory usage ballooned and performance dipped below non-YJIT Ruby 3.2, IIRC the difference was a good 10% degradation. Granted, it's an API only service so no HTML is being generated, only JSON and that could be the culprit.

Suffice it to say, we didn't enable YJIT for 3.2. Maybe 3.3 is indeed different, but both the faster and less memory claims are really suspicious to me.

The meme that corporations exist exclusively for the benefit of shareholders is a very recent, very extreme phenomenon, yielding exactly the sort of results you would expect. Externalizing costs, especially in ways that are dispersed enough not to be addressable by any particular affected party, is the whole point of the modern enterprise. It wasn’t always this way and it need not be this way in the future.

Documentation of data flow and rigorous testing might be an alternative and superior way to get correct answers, at least in some contexts. Just because a type has been assigned to some data does not mean that is necessarily correct. All input needs to be checked and can have various mistakes, errors, and distortions. Type systems are one method that may help to keep things in check, especially with complex business logic maintained by large and dynamic teams. But if the business logic is well defined and the teams are small then typing can be a digression that takes time and effort without bringing about superior results.

Not no taxes, just something that maintains a good reward/risk balance and an invcentive for people to be founders or early employees of these types of companies. The UK used to have so-called Entrepreneur's Relief, for example. Some countries have low capital gains tax regimes. It's not an uncommon thing.

(Sure, a country could gleefully milk everyone to the max, but then they can't complain when they lack for entrepreneurship.)
A bit more techy thing to said is that Plancherel theorem here simply means that W in parent comment is unitary, so we can understand fractional FTs applying Stone's theorem for uniparametric unitary groups (the parameter here the order of the fractional, a scalar). The theorem guarantees that there is an infinitesimal generator H (a matrix) such that W^t = e^(tH).
This stuff is ancient technology. It's a pulse oximeter. We've had those for decades. And then this is a pulse oximeter with computer storage attached. That's a nonsense patent. If Apple is fighting it, perhaps there's a chance it will invalidate. That's a good thing for us.
Just curious, what's your opinion on YARD comments for typing? I have a little more experience with that, than I do Sorbet (or RBS as well) and I found it to be at least tolerable. Though something like your `-> Integer` would be amazing though if there was somehow a way to make it work with the syntax of Ruby.

Yes I concur /s. Don't use Google search. Don't use websites with Google Analytics. Don't use websites with Google Ads conversion tracking. Don't use Android phones. Don't send SMSes to android phones. Don't use YouTube. Don't use websites that embed YouTube. Don't use Chrome. Don't use gmail. Don't send email to gmail addresses. Oh yes, and I also don't use news media sites who monetise through Google adsense either.

Yes, I agree that the first DSA investigation targeting X obviously has more of a populistic bent due to Elon. But he's drawn a pretty good target on his own back including but not limited to firing the election integrity team [1] while the DSA clearly states that VLOPs have to do risk assessments before elections.

Honestly, American big tech has shown close to zero ability to self-regulate the externalities of their platforms, especially abroad, and especially in smaller countries.

If the consequence of this regulation is that American tech companies pull out of hard to serve European markets I wouldn't mind that one bit. That would open up markets for local competition closer aligned to their audience. Norway doesn't use Meta as the dominant messaging app because people like it. We use it because network effects creates unassailable moats, lock-in and network effects. Most people absolutely hate Meta and loathe Google - but we can't exactly not use them without it costing us greatly.

I'm happy to live here and the actions being done by the EU with GDPR, DSA and DMA are in my honest opinion critically needed as American-centric, free-market, "free-speech" norms are misaligned with other cultures in a way that foreigners would never understand without delving deep into a countries culture. Not just through naive metrics-driven technology scaling engagement at all costs. This is warping and killing culture, media environments, advertising ecosystems and political communication in the name of profit for a select few massive tech companies which aren't even taxing to the countries they're siphoning advertising budgets out of.

X is nothing special. The only reason there isn't another Twitter is because these markets mostly have room for one platform. If Twitter disappeared in Europe there'd be a local replacement in less than a year or two. And honestly it would probably be better.

I'm not sure about calling it a new world of open extensions, seeing as Firefox used to support running any extension you wanted and then Mozilla artificially removed that and are now patting themselves on the back for... re-enabling it? Possibly with some extra APIs to make the experience nicer? (Which in fairness is worth something; desktop extensions were wonky on mobile)

> All of apple's various analysis systems ("AI") are entirely local.

Even if that were true (I couldn't say, and I don't think anyone who doesn't have access to Apple source code and production systems could either) that wouldn't preclude Apple harvesting the results of said AI analysis.

In fact, doing the analysis on users' devices would represent a shift of that processing from cloud to edge, representing a significant savings for Apple or anyone else in a similar position.
Why would boomers do this if the silent generation didn't?
I'm not sure it a totally rational thing. This is effectively putting more miles on your battery, an item that costs tens of thousands of dollars to replace, if even possible years after purchase. There would have to be a substantial compensation for such use even if it only degraded the lifetime a few percent.

But at such a compensation level, one could probably just purchase deep cycle lead acid marine batteries. They could sit in one's basement charging/discharging at a much lower cost than the lithiums in a car.
How long is a rope?

There is already a bunch of "completely detached" networks out there, organized via wifi links. Freifunk, Guifi and NYC Mesh are three examples of such networks, where you can basically avoid the current internet infrastructure as long as you get hooked up to the mesh network. Lots of interesting services deployed on these networks too :)

> For reasons that should be obvious to anyone with a bank account, you really really want both updates to happen, or neither. This is what atomicity guarantees - that the entire transaction will either succeed or fail as a single unit.

So, I understand why this example feels particularly illustrative of the value of transactions, many-if-not-most financial "transactions" can't practically rely on this kind of atomicity for the kind of financial operation depicted.

While it may seem like a small thing, I think authors would do everyone a favor to stop using the "banking transactions, obvs" example.

No. Minority shareholders still have rights, and while there may be a tipping point with respect to effort versus reward, but they absolutely can (and do) threaten majority shareholders with legal action when the action of majority shareholders violate duties of acting in the company's best interests.

Even small models (e.g. hidden dims = 32) should be able to handle token ambiguity with attention. The information is not so much in the token itself as in the context.
>IP/patent law is holding back innovation.

Sure, but Apple has made an entire business out of making lowball offers to companies that produce tech they want. Then offering to pay more if they can just get more data on the tech, before ultimately pulling out of negotiations entirely and just copying that tech whether through internal resources, or hiring resources from the company in question.

They've decided it's cheaper to steal and then fight in court than to pay a fair market rate. Honestly given this has happened at least 10 times that I can recall off the top of my head, the Justice Department should be dropping a 50lbs sledgehammer of justice on them. At this point it's intentional and not just illegal but morally reprehensible.

Great that they're putting them back, but even then, the included pictures make it clear they have no idea why they're putting them back or what the actual issue was with removing them. Hiding them, essentially, behind the steering wheel on the driver's left hand side instead of putting them back in the center console is really, really dumb. Less dumb than the touchscreen, but still dumb.
Articles like this are not worthwhile, because there's no real definition of what "good" or "great" are, except that great is better than good.

So in that sense, someone who is good very often is "more good" than someone who is good less often. But in my own personal opinion that doesn't make them great.

I think in VWs case there was the additional circumstance that their touch screen was just abysmal.

> the price will shoot up drastically as soon as the market is aware of someone

Will that still happen if you put in a single order to buy 51% of all the shares at a price a little above the current market value ?

That trade will be complete before the market "sees" you are trying to buy a ton.
Were you really considering one? They're rated consistently at the bottom in terms of reliability and have for 30 years or more. Porsche and BMW make a much higher quality vehicle in that price range.

That's hard in countries with broken political systems like the unbelievably stupid American dual party one. And is it actually working nowadays? To me from the outside it definitely seems like everything, even basic science and common sense, are immediately partisan. If one party is for something, the other is immediately against it regardless of merits. Maybe except Israel and army spending? And even in non broken systems, stuff like Covid was extremely politicised. You can't debate with a pigeon shitting everywhere.

When I was 16 there was no other car I wanted more than an Audi A4. I vowed that when I got my first job I’d get one. Then came dieselgate, and I’ve never considered an Audi or VW since.

Instead I went with a Mazda and stayed with them since. Just great all around cars: safe, reliable, low maintenance, freaking fun to drive, and always good tech (Love the heads up display!), upscale fit and finish. Not super expensive but expensive enough that you’re getting a good car.

I would easily choose my CX-30 over an A4 any day.

This is also an iterated game. Apple doesn’t want a reputation for caving to patent trolls because that invites more lawsuits.
