What's odd about using vector intrinsics with GC and/or JIT? I did my capstone project for university with intrinsics for SBCL - testing hand-vectorised code at the REPL is rather funny (as it's an interactive environment for almost assembly) but it works fine. So long as you have arrays of integers you can load and store vectors, and the rest is all the same.
reading this I thought - as we create things that 'evolve' and 'adapt' a lot of people seem inclined to build systems that mimic our understanding of how natural processes work because of naive assumptions that these are the most efficient but perhaps it can be that the various models of reality assumed by philosophers and scientists through the the centuries are the models we should use to guide this evolution of systems we create.
Let's wait and see what the remedy will be in this case. For the past few decades, antitrust enforcement has mostly relied on fines as opposed to requiring firms do something differently. As a result, courts and agencies don't have that much practice figuring out what remedies to apply. This is an area where software engineers who understand what's technically possible can come in very handy.

The devil is in the detail, and there are a few ways that "[opening up] Google's devices", "allow[ing] other app stores on its Android phones and tablets" and allowing developers to charge customers "without having to fork over a cut to Google" could be implemented.

Your assumptions seem off-base:

- Not all businesses spend 20 a month on hosting. They either are big enough to have IT systems where 20 a month doesn't cover their needs, or small enough that a Facebook page does.

- Even if that number were correct, your product can't say it replaces that cost unless it replaces all functions they get from that hosting. A knowledgebase based on Notion seems like a fine idea, but does not sound like it will cover every reason a business would have to host content.

From your logic, you ideal customer is someone large enough to need an online knowledgebase, yet small enough that they cannot tack it onto an existing system and need to spend 20 a month to host it. Your question is: Does such a company exist?
> you don't necessarily realize that some people do need deep work, and prioritize your quick satisfaction to other's focus

Surely there must be ways to balance these things?

When you want to ask someone a question it shouldn’t be too hard to infer whether it’s a good time to do that now or you should wait (if it is, well it’s exactly a very hard skill to learn if you put in some effort)
That's moving the goalposts (pun intended :)): having a wheeled robot with an enclosed (ball protection!) basketball holder slide around the basketball court and extend the basketball holder up to the rim would certainly allow it to beat humans, but it wouldn't really be "playing basketball".

We engage in sports because they are fun and explore the limits of our physical and mental abilities (or well, go above our limits, as all the kinesio-tapes and supplements in pro sports indicate). Involving robots can only continue to be fun if robots work with roughly the same restrictions.

If we want to measure AIs against our mental abilities, it's only fair to pit them with controlling as much "machinery" and suboptimal movements as humans do in a particular sport: that versatility is what makes our intelligence so amazing and, well, "general".

Sounds like this article is advocating for everyones page to look the same. If every page is built using simple technology, the user can style it themselves, not the developer.
The “6” is coming from the original comment in the thread.
My point is that if you're an organization looking to use a tool like dae, the maintainers' behavior here is a huge red flag. Of course open-source projects can do basically whatever they want. But dae is really not a "personal project," its clearly designed for use by the broader community and the maintainer clearly wants lots of people to use it. If I am considering using any open-source software, I would want to understand the devs' decision-making behind denying good feature requests:

1) The best possible reason is work-life balance, "hey I'm not getting paid for this," etc etc. I am not demanding that dae's maintainers accept the change simply because it's a good idea.

2) An unpleasant but probably acceptable reason is obstinance, stubbornness, etc. Maybe you're wrong, the feature is a bad idea. But even if you're right, sometimes you have to accept the aesthetic/ideological quirks of the devs.

3) The worst possible reason for denying a feature request is pettiness or narcissism, which is exactly what dae is doing. Perhaps the user had legitimate reasons for not starring the repo (GitHub "learns from" your stars and will suggest related repos in discovery, which can be annoying). But the idea of labelling CI tests as a "wontfix" until you get a stupid GitHub star is just horrendous open-source management.

I’m (slowly) working on a everyone-can-develop type of a project. Instead of being low/no code, it focuses on development accessibility for regular people who think like humans, not developers. The goal is to generally push the bar down. Three key features. Accessible business-level interfaces. Every function call is a self-documenting gui wizard. Little to no distinction between saved and shipped. Idk about the world, but I’m doing it for multiple people I’ve met before who would benefit from being able to program, but not from becoming “a developer”.
Oh yes, always document everything!

Thinking is real work and unless you are an extreme exception, after some time you will forget even the greatest ideas!

> They must be a user of a language that needs === meaning "real equal not imaginary equal"

This is something that, weirdly enough, perl did really well and then everyone else ignored the good solution in favor of much worse alternatives.

In perl, 0 and "0" will compare equal, which can lead to trouble.

But perl prevented virtually all of that trouble by making the operators on strings different than the operators on numbers. So

"1" + 2

is 3, whereas

"1" . 2

is 12.

IMHO and I might be entirely wrong but placing and coupling all that logic into the database seems like a bad idea and it's not a question of speed, it's a question of separating responsibilities. Also, for the case shown in the article, it seems all right for a "hello world" kind of thing. For something complex or prone to deep changes (like most of software projects I've been involved with), this seems like a true nightmare.

This behaviour is a clear as day extortion scheme yet you are aggressively defend it, which begs the question - why? Do you profit from similar schemes?
I think what ends up happening is that you sell a lot of stuff that gets steadily worse over time.
No, I mean just mapping social media closer to actual social networks. As examples of how existing platforms have strayed from that:

Something like 80% of my Facebook feed these days are content from groups I didn't join posted by people I don't know. It's no longer social, it's just content.

Twitter has a "Verified" checkmark, but you don't need a third party to verify your friends' identity. Of course, this is for public entities like celebrities or news organizations, but in my book celebrities don't have a place on social media besides connecting socially with their celebrity friends. But what if you want to follow the BBC? Not what social media is for. Shut off mass media and socialize with the people around you.

My current experiment is running an ActivityPub server where I only federate with a small selection of peers who I already know I trust. I think ActivityPub is likely to be a dead-end for widespread adoption (at least in this model), however, since not everyone knows someone who runs a host. Most of the uptake is on mastodon.social and people there are effectively strangers so this breaks the social trust model.

Anyway, from there I'm looking to get more into gossip protocols like Secure Scuttlebutt since on some level that's the platonic ideal of this idea: there are no servers or admins, just people connecting directly with each other (and even without a need for internet access!). However, there are usability challenges with the protocol, especially that your identity is tied to a specific device (you can't even share an identity across your mobile and desktop devices). The Manyverse crew is working on a protocol inspired by SSB to try to address these issues which I'm looking forward to.
> 1400 on lichess is more like 1200 on chess.com, but 1900 is probably 1900.

Not in my experience. I'm rated 1900+ on lichess and 1600+ on chess.com. That's after playing a significant number of games (nearly 500 on chess.com, thousands on lichess).

The way I feel about it, a 1900 player on lichess is an intermediate beginner (like myself), whereas 1900 on chess.com already represents a decent club player level.

For reference, "in real life" (Elo rating / FIDE) I'm rated below 1300 in classical chess, and about 1400 in rapid - although I've played only one rapid tournament, and I don't have a blitz rating at all, which makes comparisons a bit tricky.

For what it's worth though, as far as I can tell, these proportions are about typical.

Big companies drag themselves down – not because they can't innovate – but because they can't go "all in" into innovations which compete against their real cash cow.

An AI assistant fundamentally hits at Google's gut: Search ad revenue. Yeah, Google can make dozens of AI demos. Are they truly ready to put Gemini as the default interaction model, pitting it against their search? Can they give super accurate answers to questions, without the potential of 3 sponsored results on top, in such a way that it would make their search obsolete?

Shareholders "wish" to see competitive demos, to not be left behind, etc. But are shareholders & market ready for a 10% balance sheet revenue drop that comes with making an AI assistant a go-to product instead of search?

AI in Google could end up getting crippled, not by design, but by the environment and "thou shalt not touch search revenue" constraints under which it operates in.

It would be interesting if Alphabet (and Alphabet's moonshots) totally distances itself from Google instead of being an internal structure sharing the same tickers, and treat Gemini as an all-out cannibalistic competitor to Google.
I think what you're describing is the crux of the issue for chess players who don't want to commit full-time to chess but also have problems just playing a game here and there casually because it draws them in. In other words, they’re too good to be casual but not good or dedicated enough to be full-time professionals. These people are usually chess experts with 2000+ ratings but below international master (IM) level. I, for one, played chess when I was a kid, but decided not to devote too much time to it (1800 elo), although it was a lot of fun, because I wanted to spend time with friends and I didn't want to spend too much time on chess. Over the years, I adopted the approach of trying to be in the top 10% in many different things, just for fun and interest, instead of being just in the top 0.1% in one thing.
That is the price you pay. Energy prices are higher, are more subject to geo-political issues, and it still isnt green.

Maybe Gates saw, that although the Altair was a great demonstrator of the groundbreaking Intel 8080 it was built around, real user value was yet to be delivered by either successors or competitors to the Altair. Maybe Gates saw the value in his BASIC implementation and wanted to maintain the option to sell it to other home computer manufacturers.

> Just to be that picky guy; > Android phones might even momentarily be more desirable than iphone

> Most of the world is already there, and it's not momentary. iPhones only dominate the market in North America - Android has the majority basically everywhere else

Market share is not necessarily proportional to desirability. Cars make a useful analogy here. I think a Ferrari is more desirable than a Volkswagen, but Volkswagen’s market share is much higher.
And it boggles my mind that someone would still believe unrealistic atrocity propaganda that has been debunked even by Israel.

As I've said before, Hamas definitely murdered many civilians - that's a bad enough atrocity without the need to make up stories.

Apple didn't "acquire" the tech. They showed intention for a partnership to get the field of non-invasive monitoring explained to them by Masimo, and then went home to rebuild their tech without them.

They hired-away Masimo staff to achieve that, the thing they left behind and didn't acquire was the actual tech.

This strategy surely worked hundreds of times, in this case they picked the wrong company because the tech was already patented.
