Where I live in Canada here it's like a mini-china when it comes to shops and manufacturing. You can speak to someone that speaks English and won't steal your product. As well as USD is worth more than CAD, you will get a decent deal. I know of one shop that does custom fabrication that I've done IT work for: https://www.acmetalfabricating.com/
Just logged into my dormant SoundCloud to check the activity of a bunch of friends and acquaintances.

Looks like most user activity (liking tracks, add to playlist, etc) steeply dropped off ~13-11 years ago, and I see virtually no one active after ~7 years ago.

Not sure what the cause of that is..
Worth knowing if you're buying an Intel NUC: "On July 18, 2023, Intel and ASUS announced that they had agreed on a term sheet for a non-exclusive license for ASUS to manufacture, sell, and support 10th to 13th Gen NUC systems. ASUS will be responsible for NUC sales distribution for 10th to 13th Gen NUC systems. For 13th Gen NUC and future generations, ASUS will select and create new ASUS NUC SKUs." https://www.asus.com/us/content/nuc-overview/

In fairness to the naysayers, nothing Apple has released yet is like this. The price is enormous even by Apple's standards, and the value proposition appears to be entirely unproven.

Only time will tell where the market goes with this one. Just concluding off pricing alone though, I think it's ridiculous to expect Vision Pro to be remotely as successful as the iPad or even the Apple Watch. Cupertino has their work cut out for them on this one, that's for sure.
Indeed, the proposal is for 25 hours, and its not like recording 25 hours of audio is fundamentally more complex than 2 hours these days.

That's a good point. People who argue that even if LLMs are put in physical bodies, self aware with their own learned value function, should have no rights just because they're made of metal are going to be viewed in 100 years the same way Hitler is viewed today.
Yes, there is doubt they will sell out. How many $3500 things does Apple sell? Most of what they sell doesn't come close. There's no obvious business need for a Vision Pro unlike a $3500 MacBook Pro config either.

And a Quest 3 is a much closer competitor to the Vision Pro than a Blu F92 5G is to a iPhone 15 Pro Max...
How much data can 25h of voice and instrument recordings be? Even with multiple channels and uncompressed it can barely be more than a couple gigabytes.

This is incredibly cool. I have been trying to do this exact workflow manually by reading something in Kindle and copy/pasting to DeepL and Anki and it sucks. If the author is here, I'm wondering if you would be open to PRs for other languages? I'd like to try this for French or Italian.
I agree with the other replies that "true evidence must be verifiable" should only apply to scientific evidence.

It's a fact that legal evidence in court does not need to be "verifiable". There are rules for what counts as admissible evidence of course (complex rules at that), but AFAIK none of those requirements is "verifiable".

As I suggested in another comment, there's a big difference on how to evaluate scientific claims (which is required to be reproducible) and some random factual claim (eg. what did I have for breakfast). There is no way I can give "true, verfiable evidence" for what I ate for breakfast, but generally people take my word for it, and my word is "good enough" evidence.

There are other types of claims where, because the evidence is inherently hard to obtain, even "low quality" evidence is taken into account, eg. digging up a clay pot could be evidence of civilization or human settlement in an area. (Surely no one in their right mind would say to support such a claim you need to somehow independently verify it, right?)
It causes heat spots in the pan.

It's most noticeable with water or a pan of food you want to simmer, it will turn the heat on high for a few seconds leading to items to burn/boil for a few seconds, before turning back off.

That means that if you are making something that needs low and slow heat you get these moments where the heat is WAY too high.

I like to make things like candied mango pieces or strawberries for on top of pancakes, and with an induction stove that has an on/off cycle vs being able to modulate the sugar will quickly burn to the bottom of the pan because the temperature is far too high while it is in its "on" cycle.

It's not about heat retention between cycles, it's that during the on cycle it's too much heat.

Very thick bottomed pans can help dissipate some of it by capturing it, vs just dumping it directly into the cooking surface of the pan, but those pans are heavy and cumbersome and fairly rare.

This looks sweet! The jellyfin integration especially looks awesome as I find watching videos an excellent way to actively absorb new vocabulary.

My current self study centers around movies/tv and Linq, which this tool seems very similar to.

I'm learning Dutch, so it's a bummer that it's not supported currently, but I'm keen to dig in and see how much effort it takes to add a new language.
Very first thought at the very first picture: lots of negative corners next to the pots make cleaning the splills difficult.
If you're flexible on the NTFS storage requirement, then one of the newer Windows handhelds like Lenovo Legion Go or Asus ROG Ally could be a good fit.

They both contain the AMD Z1 Extreme SOC, which not only has 8 cores but contains a pretty good iGPU (780M is comparable to Nvidia's 1050Ti in benchmarks). Added bonus is that it contains a battery and display, so very portable and fairly good gaming machines.

Maybe get an external HDD adapter for when you need to access old files.
I'm just curious to see if there's a general trend rather than specific numbers - I seem to be coming across more and more sites that cover this kind of topic so I was curious to see what the hackers thought... The Permacomputing site caught my eye the other day: https://permacomputing.net

Matlab also does have relatively bad tooling, though that is partially due to it being non-free (for ex the library installation is so cumbersome because of all the licensing stuff)

The hook with the Evergiven was that the ship had run aground and couldn't get out. That was fun and relatable, it was a single event, there were pictures. It was reported on by everyone when the event happened and the rest of the coverage was followup coverage. The "omg is global trade ending" pieces didn't happen right away.

The situation here is much harder for the press to explain, has been going back and forth for a couple of weeks at least now (ie not tied to a single specific event with pictures), and is relatively new. The "omg" pieces will come out in a couple of weeks if this continues, don't worry.

NYT is cheating here because their prompt is a portion of articles from NYT. A normal user of ChatGPT does not do that. If ChatGPT reproduces text from NYT articles under "normal use" where the prompt is not designed to get it to reproduce text then that would certainly be copyright violation.
It’s kinda pricey compared to solutions without a built-in screen, battery, and controller. And I’m not sure how well it’d serve these other use cases, or playing games from iso files—I’m sure that last thing could work, at least in many cases, but no way it’s gonna be as straightforward for that as Windows. I also find the desktop to be so janky that I dread dropping into it to do anything (I do have one).

[edit] the fans are also pretty loud if it’s actually doing anything. Not an issue with headphones, might be otherwise.
Why involving another website? Twitter links should be ok. Just create an account, its free.

These questions don't get placed on their job ads by chance and they aren't done in a vacuum; there is some form of approval at the leadership level.

If they ask that question, then they make a judgement based on the answer. If you're a company making such a judgement on such a question for such a position, you're a ridiculous company.
Another bonanza for shipowners
My wife had the high end NUC (Skull Canyon) with the dedicated AMD GPU.

Absolutely KILLER machine for the size and price. The next generation gaming NUCs were so, so much bigger. I can't stand them.

Highly recommend the NUC line overall!
This would totally derail open-source LLMs and establish a SV monopolies since they have sufficiently deep pockets to probably license an awful lot of material.

Typically, the model is trained by "reading" each document only a single time. Should you have to license in perpetuity anything you read or see online that has a copyright because it changed your brain a little? If not, why should the model be treated any differently?

What about the Phi family of models that are not directly trained on copyrighted data but instead are trained on data produced by GPT-4, among other sources.
Congrats on hitting 10 years! Most startups don’t make it that long.
Ahh the SV grindset.
Your neighborhood cat has vastly more reasoning ability than the best LLM, and it’s not consuming any text.
They're still using the oven temperature example further down, unfortunately.
Thanks, similar experience here. As long as I stash everything in a single file it opens adequately.
I run a number of sites on a single server behind a reverse proxy, and the fastest to load is a CGI service, cgit. I use Traefik as the reverse proxy nowadays, which doesn't support CGI directly, so I've bridged it with Go's net/http/cgo. Even with this extra hop, it the performance is still excellent.
They got 100M users to sign-up which ins't surprising because they advertised the crap out of it in Instagram, which has ~2B users.

I would still consider Threads dead because you don't hear about it. You often see screenshots of tweets or links to tweets on here and other sites, this tells me that people are actively using Twitter/X and engaging with it. But as for threads? I haven't seen a single screenshot or link to Threads outside of ads you get on Instagram about it.

What I see is that Threads is on life support and the life support machine is Instagram, if not got IG, Threads would be 100% DOA.

Humans learn about the world by consuming copyrighted text, LLMs learn about the world by consuming copyrighted text. How does that not qualify as LLMs learning like humans?
> Okay..what is the alternative?

Just ... open the file and handle the error?

What are you getting by checking that the file exists that you don't get from the 'file not found' error that the `openFile()` routine returns?

Because it doesn't matter if `doesFileExist()` returns true, you still have to handle the `file not found` error[1] when calling `openFile()` on the next line anyway.

[1] Just because the file exists when the program checked, that doesn't mean that the program can open it (permissions), that the file still exists (could have been removed between the call to check and the call to open), that the file is, in fact, a file that can be opened (and not a directory, for example), that the file is not exclusively locked (Windows) by some other process that opened it, etc. `doesFileExist()` tells you nothing that would change how the subsequent is written.
> The problem with modern development is having to nail down the data model first.

Schemaless was one of the original drivers for NoSQL databases.

Now, when I need something schemaless, I start with a Postgres table with an ID and a jsonb or json field... which at least makes it easy to have a schema when the inevitable happens and schema-dependent code ends up getting added to the project.

This is a hard problem.
I was just listening to an NPR story about heat pumps, they act like a refrigerator in reverse.
And yet the air rushing past provides cooling....

Maybe you're thinking about an iPhone de-orbiting from ISS. That would be a different story.
It’s funny to see arguments about how this brand new product at the frontier of science (that society did fine without) is only possible this one particular way. It’s silly. We just learned to make it at all, we don’t know what is and isn’t possible. In 30 years (no time at all, in terms of the legal implications of whatever laws are set up for this stuff), we’ll have a completely different conception of chatbots.
It’s time we unionize as software developers. You saw what the UAW achieved, Software Engineering needs the same type of protections
> I am happy to see competition in the space though and I hope more induction burners can get more accurate temp sensing and PID control

The thing is most the cheap chinese single cooktops all use the same microcontroller/firmware package, but the firmware is absolute garbage. It really wouldn't take much to make a good, PID equivalent (and BTW, have the UI run on a separate controller over an i2c or spi connection, so manufacturers can differentiate that way), and then even all the cheap cookers would be actually good.
That's your opinion, but right now he law doesn't cover training AI models.

Do you think that content created people is truly original?
Good thing Ryan's tweet is about the ratio of the number of ships diverted from their normal route (orange dots vs black dots), not about the absolute distance. "Look at how much orange there is". It's implied (and well known) that the route around the tip of Africa is longer (in both time and distance), it doesn't matter how much longer to make the point that the previous route is now considered riskier and many are chosing an alternative.

Nice reading comprehension. I never said that current law treats AI equally, I said the moral philosophy upon which our legal system is based applies equally to AI. I.e. logically the law _should_ treat AI like humans, since the philosophical foundations upon which it's based don't distinguish.
Good PR for Apple, less so for Boeing.
I don't think drivers are what warrants Linux its popularity / indispensability. I worked in a few places where people, well, at least moderately, liked to write drivers. Also, consider that it would've been definitely possible to write an OS with a mechanism for module loading compatible with Linux drivers.

My take on this question would be the ease of use for application developers. This ease of use consists of plenty of somewhat ready-to-use libraries that cover plenty of use-cases, huge community that both produces documentation and will answer questions should you have any, multiple hardware vendor support, and of course, licensing.

It's possible to compete with Linux in very special, very narrow use-cases, but trying to win against Linux on every front would require an insane amount of effort by a very large group of people.

Does it have less space than the Quest and no wireless and therefore will be lame?

Idk how the devices work but if you have to replace them to get the extra capacity, it would still cost the airlines money, and the FAA has historically been very friendly with airlines.
Nope, at the altitude planes are at, the atmosphere is much much colder than at ground level. Along with that the terminal velocity of the phone is going to be under the speed of sound so there won't really be any meaningful compression going on to heat up the air around it like you get with a descent from space. That heating essentially happens (this is simplified) because a space craft is going much faster than it's terminal velocity at the given altitudes it's passing through so it compresses the air below it, heating it just like you'd expect from the ideal gas law. It happens to be that it heats it so much that it makes a super-heated plasma so you end up with what looks like fire (not sure if there's actual combustion happening, but i wouldn't be shocked) surrounding the craft. That's also why once it's slowed down by the friction and air resistance, the plasma dissipates and is no longer a problem for re-entry.

Now if we were to launch the phone at several times the speed of sound we could probably get the same thing to happen but I'm doubtful that a phone could survive the acceleration in the first place.
Because onboard recordings are prone to loss or destruction, intentional or otherwise.
95% sure that this is my last job in IT. after 17 years or so.

At the terminal velocity of an iPhone, the air passing through will do more to cool it than to heat it up due to friction.

Fair point.

Your right to do something can clearly differ from your right to make a machine do something. A simple example would be you being allowed to walk down footpath, but letting your car traverse that path isn't allowed.

If we are talking hypothetical new rules, not immediately obvious to me what is optimal here, including differentiation of various use cases.
At least to my brain, showing 'parts of a whole' is easier to intuit in a pie chart than a bar chart. Again, the caveat being there aren't more than 4-5 parts and the sizes are different enough.

That said, I'm now interested in asking around the office to see what others think. Maybe I'm an outlier and should switch to bar charts.
There have been plenty of studies for a long time regarding this and a practical 'study' going on for now a long time across the globe with billions of people.

What is your specific worry? getting cancer?

The paper you reference states the same: "Hence, VR headsets and mobile
phones are safe."

And yes light is the same thing as anthropomorphically generated electromagnetic radiation, depending on what radiation you talk about. like the light coming from the display. If you mean the specific wireless connection, than no.

At least pls tell me that you don't have quarz cyrstals around you for protection. But if you would take this serious, you do not use wifi? You do life in a metal mesh?
Good points. Since there are so many projections I thought there would be one for distances but the equidistant projections only work for specific points of origin. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Map_projection#Equidistant
Lots of people wondering why we haven't wiped the pirates off the map yet. First of all, Saudi has been trying to do that for years (with US support) and failing. I think it shows how much leverage the Houthis have, and how much cheap drone technology has changed the nature of warfare. They have 3 hands to play:

1. Attack Saudi Arabia's oil infra with cheap drones and threaten 1/3 the world's energy. These drones cost 10x to 100x more to shoot down.

2. Start another Arab Spring, counting on the fact that the Houthis enjoy massive popularity in the Muslim world right now, among Sunni and Shia both, for opposing Israel.

3. Drag the US into another Afghanistan, which nobody wants.

It would actually get quite cold, at 16000' you can expect the air to be well below 0 (pick your units, it's fuckin cold).

The only time heating becomes an issue is at supersonic velocities and is due more to compression of the atmosphere against the object then actual friction.

Having recently been in the market for a mini pc myself (my use case were slightly different), I have arrived at the conclusion there is nothing similar to Mac Mini/Mac Studios on the market at the moment. These devices take 10W idle & 80W while running compute heavy tasks like stable diffusion/LLM using it's unified memory - magical.
