While the performance gains are exciting - I’m curious when they’ll release multi modal embeddings.

So much information is tied up in tables and images which are so difficult to work with right now. You can hack around it with GPT4V but it’s always going to underperform something that was trained end to end.

I’d also love to see the same support for fine tuning embeddings that they have for their LLM’s. I’m curious how that’d perform over their latest massive model.
In the meantime there is Khet board game: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khet_(game) - fog machine not included.
Ideas for anyone who wants to go further with this:

1. Implement the Ackermann function.

2. Implement the factorial function using iterative recursion [1]. Does Jenkins execute the function iteratively or recursively?

Maybe not, but discovery is worth something as Epic found out when they pulled Fortnight off the Play store.
Yes in my view this is really obvious punishment and the EU should increase the pressure on Apple. Don't be afraid of US companies and their bully tactics, let's see who has the longer arm. For all I care we can remove Apple devices entirely in the EU. People who want an Apple device can import it "illegally" then.
Would be great to be able to query the LLM about search history, for example I know that I have seen something but can't remember exactly where or what.
The situation with monochrome laser printers is not too bad. People keep saying Brother (and I have one myself) but HP laserjets from the 1990s are still viable and built like tanks. Color is different and I don't know a good answer.

Ink jets inherently suck for low volume users because the ink dries out. Dot matrix impact still exists but is heavy duty now. The cheap home and compact models are gone. Also, afaict, no more small thermal printers except for receipt printers. But I might look around more.

Anyone know a good site to look for this stuff?
Mine requires 7,000 watts of wind power to charge overnight. It can take 250,000 watts, but that’s rare.
In this case regulation is the only thing causing competition, Apple was doing perfectly fine discouraging competitors themselves.
This is precisely my hypothesis. We imagine that our human consciousness differs from animals when in fact it it exactly the same, but with a more-expressive language system on top.
> Old standlone ADCs hit 16-bits pretty reliably.

Nah. Lets look at it from a db perspective... I don't believe that the typical electrical engineer is in the business of circuits accurate to -96db levels of precision.

Those circuits may have used a 16-bit ADC, but there's no way the typical circuit reached anywhere close to that level of precision. The bottom bits would be all noise in the vast majority of use cases. Even a 12-bit ADC takes a degree of effort to keep your errors and noise down.

16-bits means making no mistake in your entire circuit, across all temperatures, across all kinds of usages, such that your ADC line never drifts more than a few dozen microvolts off reality. That's just not typical circuit design. Temperature effects alone will screw you over and prevent you from reaching there.
Yes it is a pricing mistake. If I only use the built-in apps, Apple will earn nothing from my app usage, but they still have to provide security updates. And that should be the end of it.
That's a good way to make new friends
Amd is really your only choice. You will be fine in normal usage/gaming, but no bueno if you want to do ML since AMD naturally don't support the market leader CUDA.

The big challenge that I remember from building a product is making sure customer A never sees customer B data.

So all of your messages end up passing some sort of customer identifier everwhere and you need to enforce checking it at the lowest possible levels
> Core Technology Fee — iOS apps distributed from the App Store and/or an alternative app marketplace will pay €0.50 for each first annual install per year over a 1 million threshold.

Can't imagine that flying with the EU...

The regulator will argue that the technology in the phone has already been paid for by the buyer of the hardware (which came with a license for iOS)
I live in a desert climate, and I frequently get exercise-induced asthma in the early summer when it's hot and dry. A useful metric is the dew point, for me asthma kicks in when the dew point approaches freezing. If you live in a more humid climate, warmer weather usually means higher dew points, so it's only dry in the winter when the air is too cold to hold the moisture (because dew point can't ever exceed temperature).
Very blatantly trying to circumvent the spirit of the law. Nothing a lawsuit for 10% of global annual revenues can't solve, though. I truly hope the EU puts down the law here and let Apple know how the find out-phase of their little gambit feels.
hopefully this has the opposite effect of what Apple intends and ruins their app ecosystem. Non-EU developers hopefully also stop developing apps for Apple.
No, apple is not going to continue gatekeeping. However, it seems they will need a proper bitchslap to correctly understand their role here. This post (by apple) is actually ridiculous.
No, it's subsidized by the thousand+ dollars users spend on the hardware.
A friend of mine was beaten over the head with a metal pipe in an inner city area of DC and nearly died. Another was beaten up in a German city, kicked in the head, and has permanent brain damage. Both were hearing. Another was robbed at gunpoint and knife-point (separate incidents) in inner-city Baltimore. I don't blame any of this on their hearing.

Do you have something resembling a point?
You just need a non-profit behind (or a government) and it should work just fine, they are exempted from the fees.

The ruling is mostly there to prevent google and meta from creating alt stores (which is a benefit to us).
How about the city doesn’t squander 15 billion.

The problem isn’t that they don’t have enough money, it’s that they have too much. Look at education spending in Ca vs outcomes compared to states that spend way less
That sounds very cold for biking. Do you use studded tires or winter tires for bikes? Isn’t frostbite a major concern?
Are people that indifferent to cybersecurity in your opinion? There are lots of ways to lose money that can't that easily be clawed back.
Well, if you have a desktop/notebook with any kind of wi-fi chip you also cant override the protocol as not to mess with the spectrum, but you still get free reign over the rest of the machine.

All that to say that if things are properly compartmentalized there is no danger in letting the user install any software he desires.

> And as far as I can tell, except for perhaps one or two additions, the list of Essential Safari Extensions in the iOS App Store has remained static since then, over two years ago.

That sucks, and it also sucks that the Hyperweb was abandoned but not unpublished by its creators (https://www.producthunt.com/products/hyperweb/makers).

In case Jeff Johnson sees this: Apple can seem opaque, but it's still made of people, including Safari/WebKit and Developer Relations folks. Assuming you've already used Apple Developer Support and/or feedbackassistant.apple.com, it wouldn't take too much time to reach out to a couple people. In a few minutes to find Jon Davis, a web technologies evangelist, at @jondavis@mastodon.social. You'd be amazed at what a nice, short note can do to help you find the person who would care about abandonware and cobwebby editorial content as much as you do.

After what they have done with their AI approach I wouldn't even use them if they were to provide the last IDE available to mankind.

Our World in Data has graphed scores for countries on the UN's Human Development Index against their CO2 emissions per capita.

As soon as someone discovers the non-App store version of Facebook is somehow worse then there will be a thousand Facebook posts and articles telling you not to install it that way.

I have an Android phone and I almost always install apps from the store but I have a very important handful of apps that I've sideloaded (or gotten from F-droid). Some of those apps do more to ensure my privacy than "official" ones.
Is it just me or the website won’t open?
So obviously the new terms are worse for almost all business cases. That said, it's interesting to look at cases where they might be better.

If you have a F2P game app averaging 50€ revenue per user per year and you introduce a limitation to 1M users, you can avoid the Core Technology Fee and end up with 0€ fees, as opposed to 15M€ yearly fees under the current terms.
>"In fact, when it came to just trying to live as a foreigner in the country itself, all the bureaucracies were in place. It was really hard doing everyday things like renting a bike, getting a SIM card, or even getting a gym membership. I really struggled..."

I'm an expat (full-time in Thailand) and this is so true. 10 years since I made the move and new immigration-related red tape pops up all the time.
I'm sure there are quite a lot of non-tech-startup small businesses in the same boat. And sure, still less than 50% of people own such business, but that something doesn't directly affect a majority doesn't mean it's not important.
I also want to know how much of this was replicated by independent, skeptical sources looking for alternative explanations. One thing I see in “science” reporting is that one or a few people make wild claims, it hits the news, and people believe their word on faith with no replication. There’s also many statements about what we know where the claims made should have citations, too. Yet, people who have never run experiments like that are nodding along saying, “Of course it’s true.”

Or was all this replicated? What strengths and weaknesses did they hypothesize in these studies? What did they prove or disprove? What’s the next steps? And can we already implement any of those in simulators?

(Note: I think agents poking and prodding the world can definitely be implemented in simulators. Even primitive, game engines should be able to model some of that.)
Outside of github/gitlab native pipeline runners, my preferred CICD system was Concourse but I've read that Dagger is where it's at now.

Also, newer CICD systems don't offer a webui to configure pipelines but use pipeline descriptors in a declarative file format (YAML usually). Last I used it, Jenkinsfile tried to do the same but I didn't like the groovy DSL _at all_.
Which even with AltStore is a pain, no?
Yes, to anyone who is not the direct beneficiary of regulatory capture, the term can easily be summarized as onerous regulation.
Just be careful you don't end up with a system where you breathe the same air in and out and suffocate! Like a child using am adult snorkel, where they only move the same air back and forth and pass out.

> Now, if a theory can answer a question with ease, how is that question an argument against it?

Bowsamic may have a different take on this, but in my version of the argument, the point is not to answer the 'why' question. The 'why' question is just used to gesture at the relevant non-tautologous and apparently non-physical fact. So it doesn't really help with anything to redefine the terms of the question until it becomes a tautologous statement about atoms. All that shows is that physicalism doesn't have a problem with the concept of two physical things being the same thing – which isn't in dispute.

>If you define yourself as the set of atoms that currently make you up [...]

I don't see how I'm going to do this without some prior notion of who I am. Otherwise, one set of atoms is as good as any other.
Honestly with targeting and algorithmic curation you might never see any of it unless you are the desired audience. That’s certainly the case for me. Once, I watched some reels of a comedian (who apparently was popular on the right) that I found funny, and then for a few days my feed included this American super macho type content
Unrelated, but I just realized the horse is not in fact called "horse" like it is in Italian/Spanish.
But in this case, Github had 3 major tailwinds: (1) the popularization of VCS, (2) the network effect due to the number of users and (3) it's more or less the mandatory part of modern software engineering.

For the use case that you mentioned, I agree that it is important and I understand. Still, for the folks that aren't relying upon LLMs or are doing some vanilla/traditional ML in some laggard industry, I have a hard time believing that those folks are going to HF.
What stops you from having limited edition apps? Only 1 million copies and its gone, go download the next limited edition.
Developers unfortunately don't have any practical choice. As long as rich people keep buying Apple phones (I am specifically targeting phones here, because I think those are the ones that matter for this discussion, not Macbooks), this shit will continue.

Buying an Apple phone is as strong a signal as you can get that someone has a) a lot of discretionary income and b) a propensity towards paying for luxuries that no app developer who intends to make money can afford to ignore them in this "you'll own nothing and be happy" hellscape we have created.
I do. There is such an information overload that I would prefer to wait until the weekend to read something decent and concise.

Fair enough. But at what cost? Have sickness been mitigated, or have we simply traded some for others? Is over-sanitization a balloon grab?
No it's not.

It does (did?) this all the time to me generating tests.

I know it _couldn't_ know the right answer because I didn't tell it all of the model and serializer schema's and all that.

I don't care, because I know it is capable of generating very good guesses, and it is able to generate comprehensive tests, and I just need to tweak it to actually run. The problem is you have to shove it to even try.

Refusing to make any attempt makes it useless. If it's truly stumped then it'll be pretty obvious (assuming you aren't using it blindly).
I mean, they are a company, what did you expect?

Nonprofits are exempted from the fees, so an open-source app store could be possible.

Win-win for everyone (except other companies, but isn’t that the point of capitalism?)
Almost unprofessional? Hahaha

You’re being very generous.
I am not sure I would call RNA transferring regulatory programs "memory". This looks more like epigenetic transfer than what we would call memory (IE, factual recall). My training was before the more recent work with Aplysia, but "RNA memory transfer in planaria" was presented as an example of "how to make big claims with irreproducible experiments" in grad school.

I appreciate that epigenetics is a well-established field at this point but I worry people conflate its effects with other phenomena.
Can someone explain to me please why reading less than the actual length of the body is dangerous? I’d have expected the opposite to be case.
Those are great examples, there's still work to be done.
And if that's the case, I'd expect them to be more hostile to American tech companies than European social democrats, because those companies are instruments of American power.
The app store hides apps that aren't available in your region -- even now.
I've been wanting the same exact thing! I think for beginners (and mediocre players like myself) it would help a lot to prevent blunders. Being able to visualize the squares attacked by the knight would be especially useful.

I've thought about having the squares show light shades of primary colors so you could see which side is attacking a square, and the composite colors would highlight contested ones, darker shades would mean more attackers. Like red/blue/purple or yellow/red/orange.
But the old policy allows distribution of these apps for
free and developers have the option of sticking with the old
policy — so I don’t see the problem.

Not quite, though the messaging on this is muddy. The CDC simultaneously says:

> HPV is so common that nearly all sexually active men and women get the virus at some point in their lives. [1]

and

> During 2013–2014, any genital HPV prevalence among adults aged 18–59, was 42.5% in the total population, 45.2% among men and 39.9% among women; high-risk genital HPV prevalence was 22.7% in the total population, 25.1% among men and 20.4% among women. [2]

Which we know from the IE dominated era does not matter, people just switch to the browser they have to use. The overwhelming majority of users do not know what a user agent string is, let alone how to change it they just see an increasing number of sites saying "you need to use IE/chrome".

Moreover, again from the IE era - and we already see this with chrome - people make their sites work in IE/Chrome and then label any browser doing something different as broken so as people are increasingly forced to use chrome the degree to which spoofing does not work steadily increases.

One of the requirements for third party App Store use by developers is maintaining a standby letter of credit of 1M euros from an A rated financial institution

Edit: was mistaken, this is a requirement for the operator of a third party App Store.
Allowing this is the intent, can anyone share examples of similar maneuvers and uptake / outcome?

Why? By the time you have understood the game, you know the pieces. There are only six of them, after all.
China is not so dangerous in this regard because it is not appealing.
It has great amount of economic power, but culturally it is very insular, plus the story of Chinese Uighurs, making people (in Central Asia especially) wary of fully embracing the Chinese Way.

Not so with Europe, which is culturally dominant, and many countries around Russia would love to fully embrace the EU, if EU is willing to take effort. But this is shitty deal for Russia since it was never invited to any such schemes and will lose cultural and economic influence. It's also not all rosy for target countries' population, but it's acceptable and Europe can make it look great.

For Russians it will always look that they cut family bonds for sugar daddy, though. That has sufficient stigma that would explain why Russian population still does not mind the war.

Russia has the Snow White's Evil Queen role assigned here, who is uninvited to the party but crashes it. And boy does Russia embraces this role, unfortunately. "5D checkers" is the term.
Your sources?
It doesn't help if you explain things accurately, if you're explaining it in such a way that no one would understand it who didn't already understand it.

One key concept this text skips over, that I at least can't remember from any of the stuff I've read, is elliptic curves. Sure, you learn about abelian groups in an abstract algebra course. And you certainly learn about multiplicative subgroups of the integers modulo a prime. But do you learn about elliptic curves in a basic abstract algebra class these days? I mean maybe we should since they've become so important in cryptography, but I don't think we do.
That’s interesting. It was very cold snow for a while but I haven’t tried when it was super cold. I may try next time this happens to satisfy my curiosity. The snow is much faster since a few days.

From the description, it allocates a buffer based on Content-Length, but copies the size of the buffer it received, thus writing out of bounds of the allocation.

This isn't really responsive to the question. The C memory model is basically defined in stdatomic.h [0]. It's around 10 pages and describes affordances you almost never, ever see.

> In addition, there are no guarantees as to how that memory will be ordered/allocated/segmented outside of specific requests for a contiguous block of memory via something like malloc. You can assume your array (static and dynamic) is contiguous...

The standard can only be referring to the abstract machine. In truth, your OS might give you 1,000,000 elements on 1 page, and 1,000,000 elements on a different page, which exist nowhere near each other in RAM (or have been swapped to disk, etc. etc.), or are being CoW'd into existence, and so on.

This is empirically true--from the days when programs like Chromium would try and malloc all the memory in a machine. The pointer that malloc returned could not have referred to a contiguous memory block. You can try it on your machine by malloc'ing more memory than you have and then reading from the blob.

I am not a lawyer and not interested in reading hundreds of pages to figure out whether this is already non-compliant with the DMA, but it is clearly non-compliant with its intention, so I trust it will be fixed.
This is cool! The major online chess sites should add this as an option.

The lines don't need to be so thick I think, which would allow little arrow heads to make it even more obvious. And while we're at it, they don't even need to look like actual physical pieces, so the knight could be designed to show how it hops over squares by having blank spots in its icon.
