Comparing tiny countries at the edge of Europe and the edge of the world with the the US as super-power is a weakness.

Every country has adopted American Republicanism with a clearly defined and written constitution that has some form of separation of powers. None of these, for example, allow the PM to act as an absolute dictator without some form of emergency. The difference is simply in whether the president has an independent mandate from the parliament or not.
When you keep trying to isolate even more countries, eventually you become the one that is isolated.

"Citigroup CEO Jane Fraser announced a sweeping overhaul of the third-largest U.S. bank by assets in September. The company has been left behind by peers since the 2008 financial crisis as Fraser's predecessors couldn't get a handle on expenses and is the lowest valued among the six biggest U.S. banks.

In November, CNBC reported that managers and consultants involved in the effort - known internally by the code name "Project Bora Bora" - discussed job cuts of 10% in several major businesses.

The company has since executed several waves of layoffs, beginning with the top layers of the bank, with another round of cuts set for Jan. 22, according to a person familiar with the matter. A Citigroup spokeswoman declined to comment."
I would assume it just isn't a requirement in the majority of IoT projects, and omitting it saves on cost.
Why are you acting as if this is some fantasy thing? Pollution taxes absolutely are exactly what that is. You're "using up" all the good air!
Your quote doesn't give any evidence it is a big problem. It simply asserts that it is a problem and includes some random factoid about the cost.
The mole was whacked, but only slightly. The seller's account and remaining scammy inventory is still up. The offense here was clearly the embarassment to Amazon from a couple of examples of blatant incompetence, not the scam itself.

I don't know why PQ is listed as an "indexing strategy". It's a vector compression/quantization technique, not a means of partitioning the search space. You could encode vectors with PQ when using brute-force/flat index, an IVF index, with HNSW (all of which are present in Faiss with PQ encoding as IndexPQ, IndexIVFPQ and IndexHNSWPQ respectively), or even k-D trees or ANNOY if someone wanted to do that.

"Use HNSW or Annoy for very large datasets where query speed is more important than precision": Graph-based methods have huge memory overhead and construction cost, and they aren't practical for billion-scale datasets. Also, they will usually be more accurate and faster than IVF techniques (as you would need to visit a large number of IVF cells to get comparable accuracy), though IVF can scale to trillion-sized databases without much overhead yet with reasonable speed/accuracy tradeoffs unlike other techniques. I'd say "use for medium-scale datasets where query speed is important, yet high accuracy is still desired and flat/brute-force indexing is impractical".
I have no frame of reference for how PTSD must impact your life but it must be so hard - thank you for your service.

I do have empathy and a frame of reference as someone who also struggles with quality and quantity of sleep - sleeping only four hours a night makes you a train wreck of a person. Even if you could and do this now, it is not sustainable and can create feelings of extreme burnout. You likely you have become numb to how vast an impact this is having on you. (I say this as someone who ignored this for years and realized I was losing weeks at a time to living in a fog of exhaustion). I urge you to work on this and then make a bigger life change.
You'd have to more thoroughly define "successful." You'd also have to explain why you think the lack of one would prove any point.
> OpenAI’s mission is to ensure that artificial general intelligence (AGI) is developed safely and responsibly.

Oof. It is not AGI, so does not count (sarcasm).
Do you know if that's a recent addition? That definitely wasn't the case the last time it happened to me. I'm very fuzzy about when that was exactly. Probably in the last year or so. I had to go through support, who initially told me there were no refunds, but relented after some cajoling.

Could also be a matter of differing practices in different countries, or prime membership(I have none).

I definitely agree it's weird how different people's experiences are though.

Even with playing a racing simulation, where it's a constant challenge to control the car, while the controller or the wheel become quickly abstracted away, the car itself become something your conscious inhabits. You react to stimuli (sound, visual, and vibration), not from your point of view, but from the car.
Flagging an article that is critical of Apple seems... cult like?
The thing is you could run the nuclear stations at almost full tilt pretty much all the time while your wind turbines park will output as you noted about 35% of their theoretical capacity.
So, it's cheaper but its output is also almost half of the nuclear plus the intermittent issue.

Even if we consider that you "saved" $23bn, that would buy about 58 Megapack XL from Tesla, at around 4 MWh a piece. So, in the end, you would only be able to pay for 230 MWh, or 0.23 GWh.

You are still very far from the excess 1GW available at any time that the nuclear station would give you.

The way I see it, the economics would need to increase at least 5 folds before it can be thought of as a "solution" and that's before considering the longevity and logistics of those systems.

It is extremely likely that they won't last as long and will be even more of a pain in the ass to manage in the very long term, but that's something greenwashing would rather keep under the radar.

Then we will have to deal with stuff like this:
https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-politics/sweetwater-wind-t...

I was actually looking for an impressive picture of an unused wind farm I read about a bit ago (unrelated, on an urbex site) that didn't make sense to run economically but was just sitting there...

Considering all their foreseeable long-term problems, most of the "green" solutions look like more trouble than they are worth. But the only other answer is to force people to consume less or kill 2/3 of humans on the planet so I guess we will keep on the lies...
While you at it, do what the Biden Administration threatened to do to Musk - remove Boeing's CEO's ability to be CEO of a large public company.
Promin Aerospace, a Ukrainian company founded by a friend of mine, has been working on the same technology. Interesting to see this take on it though, it's an idea that seems almost too fantastical to work.
The Mac hipsters[0] are still very much around, they're just diluted. They will, however, come out of the woodwork on literally any article that makes Apple look bad.

As you noted, most people buy Apple because it works and does what they need it to do. They aren't aware of the anticompetitive bullshit Apple pulls, but they'll absolutely criticize the shit out of it if it's brought to their attention.

[0] I'm resisting the urge to call them Mac Objectivists. They program in Objectivist-C, naturally.
It looks good but its probably pigiron with cheap paint that will flake off and particle board. I’m done buying cheap stuff. By the time ten years have gone by you’ve spent more on cheap stuff replacing the broken cheap stuff than the buy it for life option would have ever cost.

Most commercial lighting controls allow you to preset the initial dimming level. Acuity, Lutron, Leviton, Wattstopper, Hubbell, etc.

I’d stay away from consumer grade stuff, it’s pretty much all garbage. Commercial controls will come with a 5 year warranty.

Most commercial lighting controls have 0-10v dimming, but you can get forward or reverse phase line voltage dimmers to use with consumer grade LED lamps (bulbs).

Demystify Benchmark Result Divergence: Milvus vs. Qdrant
Yes, some folks think this was just a gotcha and the actual plagiarism was so minor it should have no consequences other than a few corrections and maybe a mea culpa. Other folks think that since the attack was perpetrated by their political enemies, it should be ignored. Other folks want to change the rules to allow for direct copying (similar to open source, using a license).

IMHO Nature is biased; they seem have a strong preference for progressive liberal interpretations of many scientific things. On the other hand I think the article dfoes a fairly good job at representing the various mainstream opinions with an over bias.

> This place is like somebody's memory of a town, and the memory is fading.

That's a quote from the first season of True Detective. It's stuck with me because it's almost exactly how I've always described the small midwest town that I grew up in.

I started working part-time remote around 2010, and full-time in 2016 until June of 2023. I stayed close to tech hubs because I never felt like it was a particularly safe arrangement.
I have a very similar experience. When I bought an EV I wanted to turn on Google Maps' energy efficient routing feature (announced in 2021 at https://blog.google/products/maps/3-new-ways-navigate-more-s...) but the setting is simply not present. After an hour of wasted time debugging, I had to uninstall and reinstall the app to get the setting to show up.

I personally much prefer Apple's approach where generally features are identified by specific version numbers. If you have the version or newer, you have it. Certainly a bit more difficult to do capacity planning for the backend engineers but absolutely worthwhile for users.
Maybe it's not tech and it's just that you were younger 10 or 15 years ago?

As a past manager (and getting ready to manage another team now), the last thing I'd want would be for anyone on my team to have to deal with being swamped by inane requests from another team and that's something I'd step in to help with even unasked. As an IC whose time has always been highly valuable my current manager and none of my past managers would ever have put up with a group of people from another team interrupting me and squandering my time like that and would have stepped in as well.

Sounds like South Carolina follows a Westminster style government. Look at the UK, NZ, AU governments (and I assume Canada, don't know for sure): A King, or Governor-General, with the theoretical power to override parliament. A Head of State which can issue decrees and makes important decisions "on the advice of the Prime Minster".

Basically a figure head and a bunch of legal fictions wrapped up in the concept of "The Crown". But the real power lies with the PM and their Cabinet. But the party in charge can change the PM whenever they want, and if it ever got bad enough Parliament can change the party in charge without waiting for an election.

The PM is responsible to the Cabinet and to their party and to the rest of Parliament. It is all one big mess of ambitious people pointing guns at each other, constantly evaluating their position ahead of the next election.
Using lockdowns as a reason why we need entertainment seems so strange. We should instead not be locked down and focus our attention on building tech to prevent that. Not arguing against entertainment mind you, just seems strange to me.

If you leave tech your taking a salary cut. If you can't afford that you need to cope better. That means no booze, clean eating and at least 30 minutes of cardio a day. If you do those things and still have issues its time for medication.

My Google Home - Lenovo Smart Clock just says "I'll remind you today at $TIME".

The device is out of support, it has its glitches (e.g. it's still able to play and pause podcasts, but after pausing it would say "Sorry. something's gone wrong", if asking it to snooze an alarm it would say "OK, alright" and then "snoozing for 10 minutes"), looking forward (not!) to Google making a breaking change and it being e-waste soon.

Hah, in the imaginary future where we have cyborg assistants instead of climate destruction, my robot butler will pour half a cup of tea, go back to the kitchen, and then return to pour the second half of the cup, and I'll tell my guest, "Yeah, it's a 5 year old model, the startup that made him went bust so I'm using a firmware from a Ukranian forum...

I love the simplicity and kinda wish that was actually built into Chrome.

I know it would probably break things but if Google could automatically sync local storage and IndexedDB when I'm signed into Chrome on all my devices then a lot browser of apps wouldn't require making an account or even a server for that matter.
I’ve used techniques I both learned and taught in that class to dramatically speed up many real world large scale systems. Yes, not every aspect taught is applicable to every system (one thing we mentioned many times is that many of the micro-optimizations we explained were done by a modern compiler anyways, which is why we even brought up assembly). But those techniques are still useful historic context for the subject, which is exactly what you’d except an introduction class to include for the first lecture, along with a live demo that gets people excited about the class and willing to keep going with it.

The class is not about micro-optimization. The first couple lectures are. But people in this thread love to read their titles and stop there. I don’t get it. Here are the lecture notes for measurement and timing, you’ll notice they include what you say about separating signal from noise. I’m sure you, with tons of industry experience behind you, know more than this introductory undergraduate’s lecture in the topic provides (it’d be quite sad if you didn’t!), but that does not mean the class does not indeed provide an introduction to the topics. One that, again, I have personally built upon to dramatically speed up countless medium-to-large scale systems in a wide variety of contexts. https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/6-172-performance-engineering-of...
There's much that's untested about these licenses in practical terms. This scheme of producing the source but also blocking it... it's hard to see it standing up in court.

Let's assume you modify the AGPL program, so the remote interaction clause kicks in. If you have the software provide links to the source, but you yourself also strip those out before any of those remote-interacting users can ever see or use them, I don't think a court would have a problem saying that you're not actually "offering an opportunity" for the users to download the source and are therefore in violation.
SteamDeck has entered the chat. Low power device with low end specs, absolutely crushing games with those pesky compatibility layers.

I play all my games on my PC, they work flawlessly save for 2 exceptions. Diablo 4 Beta took some tinkering, but I got it going after 20mins. Fortnite won't run because their anticheat isn't compatible, because Epic don't want it to be.

I bought Google Home/speakers in 2018 and still use them.

Since I bought them, there have been almost 0 improvements that I've seen. A lot of potential gone to waste. That they're sunsetting features is not a surprise.

People in the new generation who use computers to do real work don't use phones because you can't do very much in the way of real work on a phone. Developers also don't use phones because you can't develop (much) on a phone. They are pretty much pure consumption devices.

What's happened is that the phone has replaced the PC for casual consumer-level computer use, except maybe high-end gaming.
You'd need to keep track of that somewhere for now, but as someone else suggested here, we could soon extend the library to support JWTs for authentication.

That is the future, but I don't think we are quite so far just yet. Right now quality TTS is very expensive and too slow for realtime. Then there are obvious IP issues. Also many books need subtle edits for audio version.

I don't think we can fully replace editors and publishing houses just yet, at least not while retaining high quality and integration.

That's reasonable. So, out of all the content you consume, for what percentage of it do you contribute to the content's author/creator/company? How much value per year?
And it's important to say that generally you want and industry to regulate itself. This prevents the regulation becoming a burden on the people, and maintains the threat that if the industry doesn't regulate itself then the government (the people) will regulate it. No industry wants oversight, so they do their best to stay in the lines.
For me, I like how a simple algorithm that can be written in a couple lines, with a simple pattern, can expand into a very long pattern essentially out of thin air.

It also looks very organic which I’m sure appeals to an intersection between bits and bytes and reality.
Nvidia drivers are a bit iffy sometimes, I will give you that. That said most major distros have builtin support and Arch has great docs for getting things going too.
Also possible this is just automated translation. I used OpenAI for translation in a project and similar things happened.
> Self regulation would mean that the org should face much stiffer penalties for failing in its regulation related duties.

Why? How does this incentivize effective self-regulation?

> No, we need independent regulation. We don't have the societal norms to pull off self regulation.

We do though. This thread even points them out.
> imply opening the gates and releasing all the water

would that be step 1 perhaps?

without much thinking about it, I would expect that the shape of the waterway structure may not really match a natural water course at all. For example, quite a lot of the release mechanisms would be at the top third of the dam wall, etc. Probably very specific to each dam?
This is also true for people.
It does says they still don't allow developing weapons with it,

> “use our service to harm yourself or others” and gives “develop or use weapons” as an example, but the blanket ban on “military and warfare” use has vanished.

so Lockheed and co won't be able to use it for most of their military projects. I don't personally see an issue with this change in policy given what you said: the vast vast majority of usecases is just mundane office spreadsheet stuff and the worrying stuff like AI powered drones is disallowed (DARPA has that covered anyway).

Americans, and every other country's, citizens all pay for the inefficiency of the large defense departments. A slightly more efficient DoD office drone isn't exactly a more dangerous world IMO.
