Just to add to this, iPhones send potato quality video to Android. I am constantly reminding my family that uses iOS that they have to send an iCloud link.

The videos are genuinely useless, I don't know why Apple bothers. It sends like 240p "90s security camera" quality video. I can't tell who anyone is, I once thought a bear in a video was a wolf.

Iirc, Android pops up some kind of "this video is too large, do you want to share it with Photos instead?" modal that converts it to a Photos link instead of sharing directly. That's not perfect, but it's a damn site better than sending a video that you know is useless.
Well, I am glad that no causality was broken.
I think it depends on the environment. Yes, most production and even some test databases are critical to businesses. Any downtime or severe performance issues cause a lot of finger-pointing.

Where I work, most database patches are applied to test environments and let soak for a couple of months before rolling out to production.

And yes, I work a lot on weekends. My only complaint about my career as a DBA is that most of our work is behind the scenes and goes unnoticed until something breaks.
Strongly agreed. Thoughts certainly can dictate emotions, but I've often observed that general emotions are floating around in my head. I can take the effort articulate these emotions into thoughts, and those thoughts may perhaps be negative / harmful. But in many, many cases it's clear the emotions preceded the thoughts.

The point is that LVMH is easily replaceable. They do no real innovation, and if they disappeared tomorrow then consumers could obtain the same quality of luxury products from numerous direct competitors.

Much of LVMH revenue growth in recent years has come from Chinese nouveau riche. That will not be sustainable as China now faces severe demographic and economic challenges.

Is this blog a joke/prank?

The images don't link to the correct filetype stated.

- "JPEG, lossy, 85 : 184 kiB" → links actually to a WebP file (https://eng.aurelienpierre.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/20...)

- "JPEG, lossy, 85 : 211 KiB" → links actually to a WebP file (https://eng.aurelienpierre.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/8/20...)

etc...

So when the blog tells you that JPEG is so much better quality, the "jpeg" image that's actually being shown is a WebP image.

Ctrl+P in VS Code and ⌘+space on Mac are GUI based fast action systems. It's not just about point and click. This is a central piece to the new UX/DX. AI assistants are going to further solidify and enhance this.

If you can empathize and understand why VS Code has taken over development, you'll understand why terminal first is dying. All those things you suggest adding to the terminal, well, they are baked into VS Code. So moving to the terminal includes having to add a bunch of things manually to get to the same point VS Code is at, which does have a terminal when they need it, but it's not the central UX.

If we're going to talk about dimensions, I think the terminal can never access certain dimensions available in a GUI, just like the GUI cannot access some of the dimensions a terminal can. It is definitely not so one-sided as you imply. Each has merits, but most people are now picking VS Code. Why is that?

The thing that I like the best about jxl is how consistent the reference encoder is. If I need to compress an entire directory of images, cxjl -d 1.0 will generate good looking images at a pretty darn small size.

Using mozjpeg (SPEG), or openjpeg (JPEG 2000) or cwebp, and I want to get even close (in bpp) to what cjxl does on the default I have to use different settings for b&w vs color and line-art vs photos.

It's important to understand that intention is not required. Spice processing machinery is often made out of metal with lead. For example brass, whichcan have higher lead concentration on the outside to make it easier to machine into its final form or more uniform to make the metal less brittle. It's possible that their machinery got degraded or even that it was re-coated with a lead based paint.

There are cases where lead has been used as a food coloring ingredient for curcumin and it's also possible something like that could have happened. The intention is not specifically to add lead, but the fact that lead is being added for some other purpose is being ignored.

There's a lot of minor lead contamination going on with these kinds of mechanisms. What happened in this case is that for some unknown reason the lead contamination was major rather than minor.

It feels like every computer hacking trope from movies made in 1960-2000 is coming real.

It used to be ridiculous that you’d fool a computer by simply giving it conflicting instructions in English and telling it to keep it secret. “That’s not how anything works in programming!” But now… Increasingly many things go through a layer that works exactly like that.

The Kubrick/Clarke production “2001: A Space Odyssey” is looking amazingly prescient.
> How often does an average X developer delve down to compiler details and contribute to static analysis tooling?

I've done this a few times for Go. One of the nice things about Go is that this is actually pretty easy. I've written some pretty useful things with this and gotten good mileage out of it. Any competent Go programmer could do this in an afternoon.

I don't really know what the state of JS tooling on this is, but my impression is that it's a lot harder, partly because JS is just so much more complex of a language, even just on the syntax/AST level. And TypeScript is even more complex.

Differences in degree can matter, sometimes hugely.

Hmm — very interesting thought; you might have a point there about perceived trustworthiness as opposed to actual vote count.

I get a ton of value from ESLint with TypeScript, and in particular from @typescript-eslint. And yes, 75 minutes is absolutely bonkers. It would have me rethinking a lot of things well short of that time. But automated quality checks wouldn’t be anywhere near the top of that rethinking list. And partly, but not only, because of irrelevant nitpicks. Having humans do those nitpicks is vastly worse in time elapsed, and likely in compute time in many scenarios as well. The more human time is spent on the things linters help with, the more that time is not spent on reviewing and ensuring correctness, performance, design, maintainability, user- and business-implications, etc.

I don't get either, to be honest. This isn't Direct3D versus OpenGL Part Deux, where a few different companies are vying for the approval of some game-tech geeks as a side business, it's the future of computing. If you make CPUs or GPUs and your building doesn't have a sign reading "nVidia" out front, it's currently on fire. You should probably be doing something about that besides talking about how motivated you are.

> The European Arrest Warrant is just a technical means.

I'm reminded of a story about a British man who was sent to Romania on an EU Warrant, and languished in jail for two years awaiting trial, on a charge that was not a crime in the UK (don't remember all the details).

> Part of the point of the EU is to align the legal systems of its member countries

That's EU over-reach, and one of the reasons I supported Brexit. The fact is that any attempt to align the UK legal system with (e.g.) the French system is doomed; the British legal system was established about 800 years ago, and people have relied on it over civil matters (wills, property, contracts) and criminal matters (juries, police conduct etc.) ever since. Even the way that laws are drafted is very different.

I appreciate that Free Movement assumes some level of judicial interchangeability; but in fact UK and EU judicial rules are not interchangeable, and can't be made so. And yet, prior to Brexit, Free Movement was a thing; so apparently judicial uniformity wasn't really needed to make Free Movement work.

For what it's worth, I'm not opposed to Free Movement; that's not at all why I supported Brexit.

> Your choice of text editor is a serious matter.

No, it's not. It really doesn't matter at all what editor you use. And there are so many to choose from. You don't even need to stick to only one editor. I sure as hell don't.

Editor loyalty is tribalism, and tribalism is myopic. Use whatever tool gets the damn job done, and learn a few of them so that you at least know what's possible.

The doubt is whether the plane crashes could've made the buildings collapse. And they exist, because I've argued with them in real life.
I feel like the paper lacks a discussion about why males are more likely to take risks.

Typically extremely reproductively successful men like Chengis Khan take enormous risks to get the power and status that leads to high reproductive success. Unfortunately we are all descended from those men.
First off if you knew the algorithm that ML runs off of, you'd know that it's doing curve fitting between data points. Every point on that curve that doesn't touch an original data point is by definition novel. The very algorithm itself is literally 99.999% completely generating solutions that don't exist. But that won't convince you.

Its weird because you believe I have wishful thinking and I believe on your side that you are in denial. When I query chatGPT I look for intelligence, when you query it you look for flaws.

The pattern in our argument will be obvious and repetitive just like the output of an LLM.

What will happen is this. I will present to you a prompt and the result which I believe verifies the status of chatGPT as an AI capable of solving novel problems.

You will look at that query and you will say something along the lines that the problem and answer set already exists in the data and it's just regurgitating existing solutions from the training set.

We can attempt to pre empt this. I can allow you to come up with a prompt to produce something novel but what will happen is that you will choose a prompt biased towards your argument and I will choose a prompt clearly biased towards mine and we will each have excuses for why the other is invalid.

That's how humans work. We don't believe things based off of rational arguments, we construct rational arguments based off of pre existing beliefs. But you are unaware of this. It's like religion people are unaware of their own bias.

You will never believe ai can produce novel things. Nothing anyone can say will ever convince you at this moment. What may convince you is over a span of 10 years as ai improves your opinion slowly flips the same way a scientologist slowly comes to terms that he is in a cult.

I want to bypass all this in built bias I want both of us to admit to logical statements before we present our arguments and if that logical statement is violated you are wrong. Definitively. Bias and excuses be damned.

First ai can't always produce novel and correct output. It only does this sometimes. As we all know it's inconsistent. So examples of AI being stupid does not preclude it from being smart.

What if I have it construct a GUI? An arbitrary GUI that I need for a work assignment. chatGPT has no eyes so there's no visual data it can copy the solution from. If it were to construct a working code solution it would have to be novel by definition. If I present to you such a prompt and answer pair. Would that convince you? Of course not because you already know I have such a prompt prepared and these debates are more about competition then it is about learning. But I ask anyway. Would it convince you?

I'm curious whether my intense meta-analysis helps you see the alternate possibility here: that I am not just hopeful of AI to be great and that it's possible that you are the one in denial about the inevitable and unknown future that novel AI will herald. Unlikely. by definition we are all blind to our bias, am I blind or are you?

Yes, they certainly should for the sake of their own research. Considering aphantasia could increase the effect size in their studies.
Very long distance spaceflight like this is still basically only power d by gravity slingshot maneuvers where we steal an infinitesimal amount of inertia from planets to give a spacecraft some velocity. Voyager was launched during pretty favorable gravitational assist conditions, so unless we dramatically improve delta v and isp in the spacecraft or get a better configuration, probably not.

> I wouldn’t be surprised if 99% of the discourse here is just miscommunication on what “picturing something in your head” means and 99% of people who think they are different are not.

Yeah, this is exactly the issue, and it's really just impossible to know. There's this popular 'apple test' image that gets posted a lot, where you're supposed to self-diagnose your level of aphantasia/visual imagery prowess based on which 'tier' of apple you can visualize, and people will always say: yeah, I can see [extremely vivid, realistic image of an apple] in my mind perfectly well. And that seems impossible to me, but then, how are we supposed to know what other people can actually see in their mind? It's in their mind, after all.

The one thing for me that does make me believe there is some major difference is murder mysteries; I have friends who can visualize scenes and solve mysteries that would be impossible for me.
Yet another example of NL's actual understanding of the public and common good

I miss thee dearly!
This is simply not true. Frankly, my first instinct would be to let it go if they're not causing issues. I certainly wouldn't start swinging the ban hammer around without knowing that the hell the traffic is.

It could be a bug in our client code, and I could be cutting off paying customers. It could be some weird and/or poorly written software by a customer. It could be some bizarre WAN accelerator issue at some giant company with real devices.

I would presume that at least someone at Apple knows that the traffic is from Beeper, and what Beeper is. I would expect that it hit the desk of a mid-tier Director at least (would you or your manager be comfortable implementing heuristic blocking without telling a director?).

It still may not be a strategic decision, but I wouldn't assume that decision makers aren't aware of what's going on.

I wish I could buy ML cards with Monopoly money.
I was going to ask something similar. Especially US companies seems rather fond of storing credit card information, but I never seem it done in Denmark, regardless of the size of the company. The most common solution is to let your payment processor deal with those sorts of things, you just have a token, which can only be used to deposit money into your account. So even if it's stolen or leaked, you can transfer the money back, they can't be transferred to a third party.

Why on earth you'd want to deal with credit card information and the attacks it attracts is beyond me. It's not like you're locked to the your provider, the tokens can be transferred... Not easily, but it can be done.

And no, companies would never pay Stripes asking price. You can negotiate much much lower rates with companies like Valitor/Rapyd or certain banks.
