Dear ImGui is lacking good and focused code contributors, I'm stretching myself quite thin already and unfortunately pragmatically it currently wouldn't be wise for me to attempt working on accessibility features :( Right now the state of things is that a majority of even the simplest PR are poor quality, so I'm not too hopeful that such a complex feature would magically start getting good contributions. I am personally just accepting that things are going to take years to move forward. I'd rather have them more slow and stay sane. Dear ImGui is intentionally gated and made fugly for those reasons as well.

But any effort to document, specs, clarify etc would be helpful and not just to Dear ImGui.

Accessibility is a whole world that is hard to grasp when you are not a end-user, API are large, confusing, poorly documented, and I presume that there are a large variety of tools and use cases and it's even hard to gauge what are the low-hanging fruits that would be the best to implement/bind.

Given how obfuscated Web stacks are nowadays (since they do try to prevent unauthorized scrapping and automation), I'm honestly also a little bit surprised that nowadays screen readers aren't relying on OCR more?

That is a little harsh, according to that recent Consumer Reports study Tesla is middle of the pack on reliability. At least according to Ars' take on the data, they build a quite good powertrain it is the rest of the car they haven't gotten good at yet.

Were you looking at the regular Clear line (for non-Precheck people), or the Clear line for PreCheck?

i.e. Clear lets you jump straight to the security part. Many airports will have a dedicated Precheck+Clear lane, which would typically be faster than either Precheck or Clear on their own.

Traversing the hyperlinks to find shortest path gives less interesting results. They should have considered some kind of weights to assign some importance to the edges like how many times two entities are mentioned together or if they are mentioned in the first paragraph of each other etc. This is much weaker than 6 degrees of separation.
What's funny is that nobody steals any more. My apartment got burgled in the 90s and they stole a DVD player, some CDs, and a pile of change. Nowadays you have to pay someone to take your junk away.
I think scooters are about where it stops working well at a consumer level.

Battery swapping exists in the forklift industry but it is complicated and dangerous. Forklift batteries are about a thousand pounds (less than car batteries) and often open cell lead acid (which has additional challenges that lithium doesn't like spills, watering, and gas discharge). In the type of forklifts I occasionally see, the batteries sit on rollers with a side access door and lockout. the tunnel the battery lives in is a little wider than the battery, has a gate that must be reinstalled, and the battery slides around a little during operation. Battery is connected to the system with a flexible connector.

Despite the electric forklift battery swapping industry being a lot smaller than the car charging industry it seems to be a reasonably dangerous affair. there are significant OSHA regulations, and a nonzero number of yearly injuries.

If you were going to operate a car battery swapping lot, you would probably need: powered battery swapping trucks manned by professional operators, a very flat well maintained driving surface, an indoor charging room, a standardized car battery placement, access system, tie down system, and battery size. you would need to worry about things getting caught in the battery doors, the battery - car cable getting severed, making sure you were perfectly lined up with the access door, and about doing some sort of tie down routine.

It's doable but it would be a LOT of work to get right. Batteries aren't as fungible as tanks of gas so you'd probably only use such a system for corporate vehicle fleets or special lease pools.

It's incredible how mankind managed to achieve flight, something our ancestors could have only dreamed of for millions of years. We can shoot ourselves in tubes over oceans, all over the world, see more places, in a shorter amount of time, safer than ever before in history.

And we got less than 100 years out of it before it got absolutely ruined by bureaucracy and politicians convincing everyone to pretend to be concerned about terrorism. I didn't even get to experience it when it was good because 9/11 happened when I was 4.

The endless series of failures by legacy auto keeps convincing me that they are doomed to lose most of their market share. Because they are incompetent and not trying to build evs with all their might - they don't recognize them as the existential threat they are to ICE manufacturers.

First tesla is taking their market share, even tiny new startups like rivian are outselling many major automakers in the us. US EV sales are up 50% plus year over year. Max ICE auto sales were in 2017! No one seems to have noticed where the growth went. 1 million ev sales this year.

But the second wave is just starting, which is cheap and quite capable chinese EVs. They are starting to take the growth from Tesla in China, Tesla is having to work hard there. The 1-2 punch of first Tesla and then China will degrade us auto.
Many of the prosecutions are for simple possession of such images. On top of that the "chilling effect" it causes means we can't download large collections of data such as historical web archives (e.g. GeoCities, etc), just in case there are illegal images in there.

The laws regarding child pornography possession are "strict liability" in many jurisdictions. So these laws prevent entirely legitimate activities from being carried out, because of the fear of being persecuted (it has parallels to the Salem Witch Trials).

The real thing is the switching costs. Sure we start with openAI. But at some hackathon in 9 months somebody will try mistral and if that saves real money and still works it feels like any easy swap.

Try a few blinds, mixtral 8x7b-instruct and gpt-4 are 50-50 for me, and it outperforms 3.5 almost every time, and you can run inference on it with a modern cpu and 64 GB of RAM on a personal device lmfao. and the instruct finetuning has had nowhere near the $$$ and rlhf that openai has. It's not a done deal, but people will be able to run models better than today's SOTA on <$1000 hardware in <3 months, I hope for their own sake that OpenAI is moving fast.
I’m guessing the bot has access to the schema of the data and then builds sql queries to fetch subsets into python for plotting. Is that right?

You could potentially stage the query in two parts — one in which it builds the query that you execute , and the 2nd in which you provide data for it to analyse/visualise.

> But still have not found a way to boot Linux from Windows boot loader in plain UEFI. Where those exact 446 bytes are completely ignored.

That's exactly what I'm looking for: chainloading from bootmgfw by adding entries with bcdedit: this is because winload.exe loads the kernel (ntoskrnl) by reading the BCD, so maybe it's possible to make it load a linux kernel, or to replace winload.exe by something that will (you can revert that with `bcdedit /set {default} path \windows\system32\boot\winload.exe`)

Have you explored that?
The modifiers (pointer, "function taking _ returning _", "array N of", etc.) are prefixed, but they could just as well be postfixed. I think people don't do it because it's more similar to English to make the modifiers prefixed.

C:

int *p;

Prefix:

p: pointer to int;

Postfix:

p: int pointer;

Another example.

C:

int (*fp_arr[5])(int, int);

Prefix:

fp_arr: array 5 of pointer to function(int, int) to int;

Postfix:

fp_arr: int (int, int) pointer array 5;

This is something I was thinking about because some non-English languages use post positions instead of prepositions, and say the verb last instead of in the middle. For example, in English, you could say "He looks at me," and in some other languages, you'd say the equivalent of "He me-at looks". Instead of "I went to the bathroom" it would be the equivalent of "I bathroom-to went." And instead of "the fifth day of the month" it might be something like "month of fifth day", except "of" has the opposite meaning. I'm speaking vaguely because I've only read about such languages from a linguistics perspective, and I don't know them. Specifically, head-initial vs head-final languages: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branching_(linguistics)
Your mention of working culture is quite interesting. I am a Mexican and have had the chance to work in "open offices" environments in UK, US and Mexico.

For me, US and UK culture was great for Open Office plan, as people were pretty silent and focused. Our Mexican culture is just crazy for that... we are noisy and chatty people, very "happy", and for that reason you just cannot focus in an open office environment. I enjoyed every time I went to our US office in a previous job, as we could actually sit down and work silently.

In the UK it was similar, but I worked in an international setting. So we had people from China, Iran and other nationalities in the same open office, and it was noisier. But not as noisy as Mexico, as people were not very "integrated" with each other.
The author works as a back end engineer @ Google. I appreciate his "outsider" approach as it is quite a bit simpler than other UI libraries & even reactive state management libraries such as Nanostores. I'm sure if he were in a different development role, his technique would be refined to account for full stack development use cases.

I don't mean to throw any shade on Tao. He is very talented & his approach is beneficially novel. I just don't think he as much experience what life is like as a full stack (or front end) developer as many here.

I forked his work to create relementjs & rmemo. Tao didn't want to support server side reactivity & I heavily use it. Also, Andrey (maintainer of Nanostores) didn't want to add my PR for autosubscriptions due to the complexity cost that would be added to Nanostores...So I wrote my own set of libraries. I hope library simplicity trends more because it is very nice to work with simple libraries.

Tao's approach is sound. He just relies on the DOM to manage the reactive state, so SSR reactivity would require a different approach. I ended up using WeakRef, which is significantly smaller than the approach used by traditional reactive state management libraries.

In Seattle on a busy morning, the PreCheck line snakes around, folding on itself many times, with a worker holding an “end of line” sign that could be hundreds of feet away from the security area. Clear is totally worth it.

As a consequence, many people have signed up so…now Clear sometimes has a big line.
Well the point stands, though, considering that the two papers you linked clearly read like papers.
My question was mostly candidly naive and quite honest: what makes a paper a paper, when the content is something merely akin to a literary essay?
I guess the answer is "the author". :D
Sure, I think that's a very real consideration, but if you're not a daily JS developer, I'm not sure why you'd use a function-call syntax to build up a template either. Something like Alpine.js where you just mark up your server side HTML is a lot easier than putting a bunch of logic into JS to build up a template. Or you could use lit-html or a million other things. This is an idea that's been done a million times but never catches on because it's not better than the alternatives.
Well said! You got the point.
Actually, I think microsoft is going to laugh all the way to the bank, because probably most enterprises will use the Azure OpenAI service instead of directly buying OpenAI’s offerings.
I’m not a US citizen, so I cannot effectively complain to my local politicians on US matters, I can only complain to fellow hackers online.

>* Level 2 J1772 chargers have a resistor that tells the EV how much wattage to draw. But that just passes the buck to the user, who now must ensure that the outlet can provide that wattage. A better system would have a smart power manager that senses current saturation or voltage drop near the point where the circuit breaker trips. We also need smart breakers that add noise/harmonics/phase as they approach their limit, which EVs would detect to self-regulate. And we need breakers that trip for a nominal time like 1 second or shorter, or however long power supplies can continue to operate uninterrupted, so that a tripped breaker isn't a showstopper.

wouldn't it be way less work for the homeowner to figure out how much current their wiring is rated for, and use an adapter that reports a static current? Why introduce complexity by making current negotiation dynamic?
Makes sense! I appreciate the clarification.
Code is an asset. Assets need to be managed, maintained, or else they will degrade. Assets have costs.
This is exactly it. My dad almost missed some of my sister's wedding fiddling with the same type of crappy UX on a no-name charger.

> ie, the cost of living in a dorm is rising faster than the cost of living off campus.

And the article is about how there is now more choice in dorm rentals (i.e. from basic accommodations to mansion-living). Generally there was no mansion option in the past, and now there is, and that means some students will opt to pay more for the nicer accommodations – and that is going to reflect in the numbers.

If a neighbourhood with 100 modest houses sees construction of 100 mansions, the median value of houses in the area is going to skyrocket too. That doesn't mean the modest houses suddenly cost more.

The same article indicates that a basic unit is $500 per month. I'd love to know where you can rent an off-campus place for less than that. You would never find such a thing around here – not even if you are willing to settle for a crack den.
If a Clear customer goes through a PreCheck line, that's because they also have PreCheck (paid separately, not related to their Clear subscription). They are different things -- the gov offers PreCheck, and all Clear does is let you jump whatever queue you would've gone into anyway.

You can also be a Clear customer without having PreCheck, in which case they'll just move you to the front of the non-PreCheck line.
I will say, the ownership experience is very different from the test drive experience.

When we test drove a model X a couple of years back we didn’t like it. Even after I test drove my current model 3 I was mostly doing it because it was essentially a free car. I was spending $500 / month in gas so the Tesla virtually paid for itself.

Owning it and getting used to all the features, configuration, using the app, the service experience, etc…it really changes things. I tell people all the time that I did not expect to enjoy this car as much as I do.

I’ve tried the FSD for 2 months and it’s really impressive. Not perfect though and I think the beta flag is warranted because of that. I love it on the highway in traffic. Anytime there are road cones it can be a little finicky though.

There are a lot of edge cases to deal with for FSD and that’s a big programming challenge.
Every single time I flew from Denver, the Clear line was SLOWER than the pre-check. (Everytime I take the person at the end of the clear line as reference and check where he is when I'm about to get through).

The TSA-pre line wraps around but goes super fast, almost walking pace. The clear line barely moves.

Clear has become a gimmick that makes you believe you are going through faster because the line is shorter.

I feel that part of the problem is that we kind of ran out of advancements and reached a plateau. It's not capitalism's fault this happened (other than getting us there); but unfortunately it's possible that capitalism with its focus on growth is not compatible with that kind of regime and it will break. Hopefully something else big will come up and unblock more growth for a while (Starship + space colonization?)
I have a fine tuned version of Mistral doing a really simple task and spitting out some JSON. I'm getting equivalent performance to GPT-4 on that specialized task. It's lower latency, it's outputting more tokens/sec., more reliable, private, and completely free.

I don't think we will have an Open Source GPT4 for a long time so this is sorta clickbait, but for the small, specialized tasks, tuned on high quality data, we are already in the "Linux" era of OSS models. They can do real, practical work.

all they need is an API compatible client library so there is no actual switching cost between models other than configuration. There's a reason OpenAI is adding all sorts of add-on features like assistants and file upload, because they know models themselves are going to be a commodity and they need something to lock developers on their platform

I think to be fair to the study, it’s building off a previous study that demonstrated Diffusion models can produce CG-CSAM. Which seems like it could have some pretty serious consequences, for victims, law enforcement, AI Ethics, and the Justice system.

They reached that conclusion then naturally asked, if the model can produce that, how much of it does it need to be trained on to produce it? And they discovered the answer to that is very little.

Which could be for any number of reasons that are far beyond how I understand ML.
It's a bit unfortunate, but with maintenance staff retiring and becoming harder to find, bowling lanes struggling financially, it's a potential alternative.

What's notable is that string pinsetters have only recently been standardized (and that's AFAIK still an ongoing process), because they have been wildly inconsistent. USBC has a recent update here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDvb0VmlHDU

Ultimately, I much prefer free fall bowling, but if the choice is between "string bowling on a USBC certified pinsetter" and "no bowling", I'll choose the strings. It's not a completely different game (like Duckpin, 9-Pin, or Candlepin), and it's still good - but it's different.
I agree. I love bowling, but those string things are terrible enough that I won't consider using them again.
