I've never been too impressed by it either. On the other hand, a friend of mine got one of these live transmitting 360 degree camera devices that streams to your phone and lets you move your phone around to pan on the live feed... took it to Vegas with us and handed it up to dancers on stage in a club who handed it around while they were dancing above a crowd, and the results were ridiculously good. He's looking forward to spending his later years reliving highlights of his life in VR via these videos. Would be nice if they were stereo, I guess, but the 360 aspect is much more important.
Seems like all healthcare is that way now. I had a bad tooth infection this year and I couldn't find a dentist to take me. Called the hospital and they said they couldn't do anything with it. I finally just walked into a dentist, showed them my swollen face (my eye was almost swollen shut) and said "I need you to pull this out or give me the tools to do it myself."

Same with mental health care. Tried to find a therapist, literally everyone booked out 18 months, many just said no, not taking new patients.

But at least we don't have death panels amirite?
> Isn't that just understood? If I say my grandfather is my oldest relative, nobody is like "oldest LIVING relative"

You might think so, but no, very few people understand this. People are constantly being shocked when a technology that is obviously highly developed in one archaeological period turns out to have precursors in earlier periods.

You might also compare the common claim that one human language is older or younger than another one. With a few obvious exceptions, this claim is gibberish, but that doesn't stop people from making the claim or believing that it means something. It's that tendency to believe things despite the fact that half a second of thought would be sufficient to disprove them that causes trouble here.
Also, Jetbrains does not indicate if I can build my own "private AI" with just my materials -- companies are concerned about what the AI knows and doesn't know, and where it gets it -- can Jetbrains AI be constrained to just a defined corpus?
I miss Yahoo Pipes so much. And YQL. In 2009 I implemented an effectively cross-domain XHR (ajax) plugin on top of jQuery so I could grab random webpages on the client-side and query them via CSS selectors (converted to XPath). YQL would give me JSONP back so it all felt quite magical. Ah the old days...

I had big expectations from Meteor Lake. However it seems that the compute part of the CPU is built in a 7nm process and that single core performance is worse than Raptor Lake.

I wonder if using TSMC 3nm process as Apple did would have improved things considerably.
Then build some decent library support.

Intel should have an advantage here as MKL and OneAPI are quite good, but the AMD’s roc libraries are not very good.
It's more to do with the speed of writing. While the last generations of CD writers got '48x' speeds the quality of the media is less when written at such a high speed. I remember a C!T magazine test years ago where they stated everything written at above 8x speeds would sooner develop reading errors. Maybe it's better now but I wouldn't count on it since investments in optical drives are practically zero these years.
Precisely. You need to build ground stations near your users.
Games? Rendering? Transcoding video?
Because almost all the early home computers supported lowercase.

The only notable exception I can think of is the ZX-80/81 which had notoriously rudimentary output capabilities because it was designed to be so cheap.

CUDA is at the API level (ish, I know). There's plenty of room for new silicon that can expose different APIs.

Compare to switching from x86 to ARM.

The principle use-case for Usenet has always been small, controlled-access networks.

That's what ARPANET and the early Internet were, where "small" meant < 1 million active participants and "controlled access" meant meeting the requirement of belonging to one of a limited number of academic institutions, tech companies, government agencies, or select military units. Total Usenet participation in April 1988 were 140,000 readers, by Eric Reid's DEC surveys, as cited in John S. Quarterman's The Matrix (1990):

<https://archive.org/details/matrixcomputerne0000quar/page/24...>

Spinning up an NNTP group for internal company communications, for a family group, or for a (sufficently tech-savvy) organisation or hobby group would be a viable option. My experience is that peak group experience tends to occur with somewhere between about 5 and maybe 1,000 participants on the high end, and that's being generous. In practice, 5--50 is probably a better sweet spot.

The technology isn't the stumbling point nearly so much as convincing people to use the service. In some industries, privacy and disclosure rules may preempt usage (e.g., healthcare, finance). And the fact that Usenet has no intrinsic authentication or attestation of identity (though these can be provided by additional mechanisms such as PGP/GPG signatures) means that publicly accessible newsgroups are likely to be nonviable given malicious actors.

What's underappreciated about much of the early Internet / online world is how small most of the "large" (as in influential) groups or movements were. Usenet, the WELL, Slashdot, and early blogging had core groups of perhaps a few hundred to a few thousand people, possibly fewer. Yes, there were additional participants in many cases, but in terms of how concentrated the bulk of activity was, small.
> You can't model and predict the weather just by training on the outputs of the weather system (whether it rained today, whether it was cloudy yesterday, and so on). You have to train on the inputs (air currents, warm fronts, etc.)

This may or may not be true about the weather but is definitely not true in general so fails as an analogy for your argument. Lots of functions are invertable or partially invertable and if you think about ML as discovering a function, then training on the outputs, learning the inverse function, then inverting that (numerically or otherwise) to discover the true function is certainly doable for some problems.

On the stock market there are for sure people who predict the markets by training on the outputs of the price. The (weak) efficient markets hypothesis is enough to say the price reflects all the exogenous information that is available to the market about the stock so you don't need all the fundamentals etc and there are lots of people who trade in that way.

The history of language models in computing is that research started by building very complex systems that attempted to encode "how the world works" by developing very intricate rule systems and build linguistic/semantic models from there. These "expert systems" tended towards being arcane and brittle and lacked the ability to reason outside their ruleset in general. They also tended to reveal gaps/cracks in our understanding of how language works etc.
I believe modern medicine is fraudulent.

So I didn’t just not get the Covid vaccine, but I canceled my health insurance during Covid. I will never go back to paying for insurance or even going to a doctor in the US unless there is an overwhelming consensus acknowledging the harms of this study:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36055877/ [1]

This system ends only when enough people refuse it. I know I won’t ever give this healthcare system a cent or an ounce of recognition they are an “authority” on anything. I’ll fly to f-ing Cuba for surgery if I have to… I’d rather die than go to an American hospital. After doctors went along promoting such an unsafe “vaccine” and have continued to ignore the overwhelming evidence of harm, they deserve absolutely nothing.

[1] Since it’s important I’m going to quote what Dr. Aseem Malhotra says about this reanalysis of Pfizer and Moderna studies…

"In my whole career, looking at all of the drugs and knowing about many different prescribed medications, I've never seen something that when you look at the data has such poor effectiveness and unprecedented harms. In the summer of last year, in the journal Vaccine, the highest-impact medical journal for vaccines, they published a reanalysis of Pfizer and Moderna's original double-blinded randomized controlled trial.

This is the highest quality of scientific evidence. Joseph Fraiman is an ER doctor and clinical data scientist from Louisiana. Associate editor of the BMJ, Dr. Peter Doshi. Dr. Robert Kaplan from Stanford. Some real eminence of integrity published this reanalysis, and what they found was this. In the trials that led to the approval of regulators worldwide, you were more likely to suffer a severe adverse event from taking the vaccine, hospitalization, disability, or life-changing event than you were to be hospitalized with COVID.

This mRNA vaccine should likely have never been approved for a single human in the first place, and that rate of serious adverse events is at least 1 in 800... 1 in 800 is a very, very high figure. We've pulled other vaccines for much less. The 1976 Swine Flu vaccine was pulled because it was found to cause a debilitating neurological condition called Guillan-Barre syndrome in about 1 in 100,000 people. The Rotavirus vaccine was suspended in 1999 because it was found to cause a form of bowel obstruction in kids in 1 of 10,000. This is at least 1 in 800. It's a no-brainer. So the question is, why have we not paused it?"
Neat thing. I like the idea! We're having the same talk at home to optimize meal planning. Adding new meals along the way and have a greater library of meals we like to choose from.
Currently I'm using Evernote with tags for different types of meal, all stored in one giant notebook. Previously I had my own server exporting this notebook and metadata to HTML and randomize a meal on-the-fly. Works OK but no weekly planning in that setup.

If I would go all in for an app like this, I would need to have the ability to export all the data. Since you are a single developer and one never knows what will happen in the future etc.

As an organic chemist who became a software engineer, I’ll say that it’s more than just money (Or curing disease) that drives a lot of people. There’s just something inherently amazing about having the literal world supply of a compound that you made using your own hands (and the laws of nature). And in organic chemistry, there’s a bit of subjectivity and art too - designing compounds, designing a chemical route to synthesize them, etc.
A humorous outcome of the AI craze may be Wittgenstein achieving the status of Gödel with regard to the “incompleteness” of language.

Those 1000 people were heavily coaxed into it. They were subject to years long propaganda painting ennemy as evil danger. That includes literal school system teaching them this. Propaganda had many facets including the idea that manly men must be without empathy toward enemy, that empathy is weakness and cruelty is strength.

A lot of those so-call normal people were literal Nazi party members who became such voluntarily. In particular, camps were run by SS - the elite of believers.

Literally nothing about Germany proves your thesis. Germany proves that it is possible to create political system under which you reward cruelty and consequently people become cruel. It shows that when politicians promote violence, violence can happen. It shows that when you punish opposition, opposition will be helpless.
I don't think this kind of issue applies to media in the same way that it applies to apps and devices.

You can take existing niche technology and make it mega successful by improving UX, price, discoverability, and applying marketing.

But I don't think you can fundamentally change how impactul media is in the same way. If a stereoscopic fixed perspective picture or movie is just not that impressive (beyond the technical marvels) when demoed in some back room on some wonky device, I don't think it can be made impressive by some marketing genius.

And I general, 3D movies of exceptionally high quality already exist in cinemas, and... They're just not that much more impressive than 2D movies. We have quite an amazing capacity to create a 3D scene in our minds from a 2D image.

Being able to easily and quickly capture photo and video+audio from your phone and share that to anyone in your friend group is magical, and has built the social media empires. But adding a third dimension to them, one that can only be viewed on special, unpleasant to wear hardware, is very unlikely to be a leap forward.

My prediction is that we are already at the peak of what people want in terms of capturing and sharing their experiences for a long time (the next level will be to add smells, but that likely requires direct brain/computer interfaces which are a looooong way off).

Of course, IF VR/AR glasses get extremely popular for other reasons (I don't expect them to, but I am far less confident here) and IF capturing this type of image is as easy as photo and 3D, these pictures will end up dominating, since there is no reason to take lower fidelity photos than the best you can get. But I don't think this type of photo can be the reason the device becomes popular.
Can Intel show us a GPU that beats Nvidia A100? Can they show us a framework for that GPU that is better than CUDA and which most companies are willing to adopt?

No? Then is just talk.
Apple’s A21 processor will likely use TSMC’s A14 chips, not to be confused with Apple’s A14 processor.
Thanks for reading! The source is my experience working in the industry and interacting with other technical writers and customer feedback submitted on doc pages, posted in Slack communities, and more. I've spent years reading comments from readers asking for updated documentation because it has a screenshot of a different UI than the one they use—even though the rest of the content is accurate.

It's difficult to find published research about technical documentation because basically only Nielsen Norman Group is doing extensive research on web content. Baymard Institute, who I link to in the post, also does quite a bit of research but even more broadly and mostly on overall website and web marketing content.
Is this really a problem? I seriously doubt many people are going to leave someone out because they use an Android phone. I certainly won't because I like communicating with people and people are far more important than technology.

These were probably a custom order for some product (anyone wanting to dig further into the mystery can try to find what that could be) as there are clearly enough pins on the connector for an 8-bit interface, but they omitted connecting the 4 lower data bus bits.

On the other hand, all alphanumeric LCDs are almost certainly going to have a controller with the same or nearly the same instruction set as the infamous HD44780.

Nonetheless, longer single-line sizes than 16x1 are not entirely nonexistent; here's someone who has a 24x1:

Here's a few other 32x1 I found:

(One of Google's most noticeable degradation in search results is when searching for parts like this. I'm sure there are plenty more sites where a 32x1 character LCD can be found, but it's just not returning them.)
Thanks I appreciate the deeper explanation.

For discussion, using MSFT vs US as the central point, it seems as if US was arguing that Windows and IE were "one and the same" or at least inseparable as concepts while the US gov said no way.

Applying that central argument to this situation doesn't feel the same in that, if US gov tried to apply the same argument it would lose in this case.

When I think "phone device", I think phone calls and SMS are inseparable ideas to the device itself. That they are functions that belong to the phone. Probably stems from my days of owning a Nokia or Razor.

But maybe that is an out dated concept and my thinking needs to change because any program should be able to control the phone's SMS and calling function via API.

I'm unsure is all I can really say.
More people in tech need to speak up. It really does feel like the silence is deafening.

For those who think that we should "keep out of politics", that has clearly never been our way before and shouldn't be our way now.
Human diversity being what it is, I doubt a world government is desirable at all.

But maybe we can agree on some basics around fairly sharing food and toys and not trying to steal the other kids toys (or even half their yard).

If you keep the rest of your cloud architecture on AWS, possibly. Consider if you were primarily using RDS but otherwise had a hybrid on-prem compute estate, you'd already be paying RDS egress which you'd eliminate.

There is another problem there: since the legislation would apply to so many kinds of sites it would have the effect of cutting off young people from services they rely on. Sites which don't mainly host explicit content. It could have life-long economic repercussions for disadvantaged youth. Very evil and stupid, these conservative shits.
Also, for decades teletypes used 5-bit 'Baudot' codes. 2^5 = 32. (LTRS) A shift-key (FIGS) could be used for number digits and most punctuation. (Telegrams shown in old movies are almost always upper-case only.)

7-bit ASCII (2^7 = 128) didn't start to show up until 1963. (Starting the arguments.)

Funnier: the machines used gears inside that limited how fast it could type. (60wpm on the low-end ... Which also made it hard to 'read the mail' of commercial carriers that used 66-75wpm machines.)
For me it's the Medical ID data that turns itself on in iCloud storage devices backup details. I've noticed this last night, turned it off and it's morning here (Europe) and that switcher is set to on again. I have Health app uninstalled and set to off in Apps using iCloud page.
Ok, I hadn't thought of that. In most of Europe level crossings are rare enough that this would be very unlikely.

It's also something the driver would easily avoid if they still have any control over the train, e.g. braking force.
You may mean to say that older forms of photography in art will never be obsoleted by new technologies - I mostly agree with this.

But photography as art has absolutely changed with the times in that there are artists who produce new art with every type of camera available.
