Can't say I personally believe that claim, but there are a fair number of people out there who do. One person even sent formal test results showing that the adapter drastically reduces EMFs coming off the case. Not sure what to make of it but I found it interesting.
Once you find what you’re network’s maximum throughput is using CAKE or CoDel or whatever algorithm to prioritize latency over capacity (as this article does), a very simple way to get the shaping effect is to lower your bandwidth plan, so long as there’s enough headroom to do so.

Three homes ago, my Comcast Internet only supported 135mbps before latency spikes while using active shaping, so I downgraded from the 250mbps plan to the 125mbps plan and no longer had to use the shaping device at all. Another home could only get 75mbps, so I switched to a 25mbps plan just to prove that low bandwidth excelled at low latency; it did.

This does mean that console video games download slower, but I grew up on modems, so I can keep myself occupied while my computer is downloading — and instead of needing a shaping router, I saved half my internet bill per month.
I can't understand it.

Someone who is deaf has a large number of obstacles to overcome and it is amazing that they are able to do so.

Filestash [1] was born from the infamous top comment of the Dropbox launch [2] as it got me wondered if we could make a Dropbox like UI that is based on this interface:

type IBackend interface {
Ls(path string) ([]os.FileInfo, error)
Cat(path string) (io.ReadCloser, error)
Mkdir(path string) error
Rm(path string) error
Mv(from string, to string) error
Save(path string, file io.Reader) error
Touch(path string) error
}

Once I had it working with FTP, I made it work for every possible file transfer protocol: S3, SFTP, NFS, SMB, WebDAV, Dropbox, Google Drive, ..... As of today it is closer to a full time mac donald employee than 500$ per month with revenue coming from making customisation via plugins for people who need some extras like layering your SAML or OIDC authentication on top of a FTP server or any other storage, custom access / authorisation layer on top your FTP, etc...

In my experience, compilers rarely know how to make use of ILP even in some for what you would expect to be the "simple" cases. Handwriting the SIMD, at least in my case, almost always proved to be several times faster than the auto-vectorized code generated by the compiler.

There is a reason for that. Tech debt, code quality, poor SLA metrics are symptoms, and proxies for various things (that can be fixed).

Failures in the other areas are root causes and more fundamental issues.

The concept of grounding devices is a safety feature, broadly speaking. /shrug

> automatic dimming features don't work well up here

That's disappointing to hear, but a counterpoint: the first car I ever drove that had auto-dimming was a Ford Escape rental in Utah. I drove from SLC to Moab and back, plenty of night driving in mountains, and it performed far beyond my expectations. I really never had to adjust the lights manually.

Which is to say, probably more to do with the specific implementation than the terrain.

That’s the reality in the US I think, then. Still, I am not convinced those jobs can make you earn reliably more than a software developer. Maybe equally well, but more? And that’s already discounting jobs at FAANG and Brex, that much more than the rest.

I live in the Brazil, currently earning ~USD50/hour (at a US company) as a web developer. Not as a contract dev though, I prefer to be employed by a company.

Here, neither nurse nor tradesman are well paid jobs, quite the contrary.

Rich neighborhoods here have: doctors, lawyers, medium company owners, big company executives.

None of them is possible to get to that level of paying within 10 years (medicine is 8 years at least only to have a specialization). An exception might be entrepreneurs, but there is a lot of luck involved.

Yes, and do we even need to wait? You could ask GPT-4 right now to write something imperfect.

Maybe optimizing for “an amount of imperfections, variability, and subtle but tell-tale clues as to convince an examiner that the writer is human and not a language model.”?

If that’s not enough it could also be asked to read the paper itself and suggest additional countermeasures based on a technical review.
It's funny but sad how this has literally been an issue for 20+ years and yet still no one can fix it.

I played around with the example a bit, the minimum for vectorization seems to be -fassociative-math -fno-signed-zeros. The gcc docs say -fassociative-math requries -fno-signed-zeros and -fno-trapping-math though.

I suppose -fassociative-math -fno-signed-zeros -fno-trapping-math -freciprocal-math will get you most of the way there, and maybe an -ffinite-math-only when appropriate.

IMHO, handling it well would mean recalling and replacing the defective mainboards (so long as they’re in warranty). They must have a ton of brand equity / good will if customers are that willing to roll up their sleeves.
The source of the maps is OpenStreetMap. These maps just expose the data contained in OpenStreetMap to highlight infrastructure components/ connections.

Exactly. The Apple extension cord is grounded. They likely didn't include a grounding pin on the stock adapter because (1) it'd be really hard to make it fold down and (2) you lose the option of which direction to plug it in (potentially blocking a plug). So it's a design call.
At least for static representations, you can get some amazing quality GIS visualisations from QGIS with minimal experience and a bit of work. Paid online GIS visualisations have to compete with some pretty good open source stuff that is often enough for a project's needs.
Level 5 means there is no instance when Waymo intervenes from home base to tell the car what to do to get around an obstacle, and no instance where an emergency responder drives the car to move it out of the way. If the car is told to take the passengers to Arrowhead stadium, and it is directed verbally by stadium staff to go to parking lot 3, it goes to parking lot 3. Waymo will probably roll out level 4 robotaxis to a major city soon, but it's very hard to see them getting to level 5.

Persisting login cookies if the user didn't explicitly consent to data collection is specifically _not_ exempted by ePrivacy. To quote a EU Working Group's opinion on this: 'Persistent login cookies which store an authentication token across browser sessions are not exempted under CRITERION B. This is an important distinction because the user may not be immediately aware of the fact that closing the browser will not clear their authentication settings. They may return to the website under the assumption that they are anonymous whilst in fact they are still logged in to the service. The commonly seen method of using a checkbox and a simple information note such as “remember me (uses cookies)” next to the submit form would be an appropriate means of gaining consent therefore negating the need to apply an exemption in this case.'

1. How well can it detect if the writer edits it?

2. How well can it detect if the prompter tries to hide it?

3. How well can it detect if people tend to start writing like chatGPT?

I grade a lot of papers and encourage/teach chatGPT use. It is so easy for me to detect poor usage. Quality is still easy to distinguish. Skillful use of these tools is a meaningful skill. In fact, it usually requires the same underlying skill! (Close reading, purposefulness, authenticity, etc)

I love chatGPT because it obviates stuffy academic writing. Who needs it. Be clear and direct, that’s valuable!

I don't unicycle but I used to be an avid juggler.

My experience is that greatest predictor of what kind of response you get when doing something unusual in public is whether or not the activity is solitary. If you do a solitary activity that takes a lot of practice, it suggests you're some kind of weirdo loner who has to fill the empty days with hobbies because no one wants to hang out with you, and responses in public may reflect that.

If you're doing an activity with someone else, then at least one person doesn't think you're an intolerable weirdo, so people seem to be more accepting of it.

The responses I got between when I was juggling alone versus club passing with another person in a park were very different.
The worst part about this mess is that it's all fine and dandy with any other tool as long as it's first party but as soon as you want to use another software you're stuck reading and understanding the spaghetti that Helm inevitably becomes and hope that you can configure it the way you need to.

It's come to the point that I don't even think about using most charts and just build them myself. The issue with that is that software like Prometheus, Loki, Grafana or f.e. Postgres operators are so complex that it's almost impossible do "fix" them.

This really is like that dog sitting in a burning house and saying "This is fine" because that's how most go on with their day after hitting their head for a few hours and running dozens of pipelines.
Why is that interesting? How are AirTags useful for cars?
The whole field of forensics is looking a lot like junk science. I remember when fingerprints were exposed as bogus. Now it seems every other type of forensics turns out to be faulty when it has the slightest scrutiny.

Even forensic DNA testing while potentially good science has ridiculous claims made about it - "one in a billion chance of being wrong". But it turns out they wrongly convict people using "unimpeachable" DNA evidence fairly often [1].

energy is a term we use that describes the probability for some unit of matter to be in a different state at time T' than it was at time T.

if you consider the state to include position - relative to a frame of view - then energy describes (at least in part) the likelihood that the position at time T' is different than at time T

Tesla disaster stories are overblown, the smallest story gets a lot of attention, it does not help that Musk is hated by the media.
how long did it take you until this point ?
Yeah I've gotten this repeatedly from CNN.

It's the "We want to track you, but we have to provide an opt out, but we've intentionally constructed the opt out mechanism to fail if you have any kind or privacy filters enabled"

The idea that requiring tracking to disable tracking is allowed in any "compliance" with these privacy laws is absurd. The requirement should be "if you cannot track affirmative consent to tracking you must not track, and you cannot block users who have blocked such tracking mechanisms".
Sequential access is still a lot cheaper on all levels of the stack. Whether that's playing the file from a network drive, reading the file from disk or even reading RAM or L3 cache. Pulling up random benchmarks, top-of-the-line M.2 SSD are 2-3x faster in sequential reads than in random reads. If you do random reads from a single thread the sequential reads are about 100x faster.
It seems like every three months the Apple Car project gets rebooted. I doubt this will ever ship.

The government is the problem.

They issue me a single identification number that can be used anywhere at anytime without any verification or notification that it has been used, and it's next to impossible to get a new one issued.

This is madness. A state funded "insurance" system to backstop this mistake is an unworkable hack that seeks to ignore the fundamental problem.
It always does. First gen Apple stuff is often really pushing the limits. Then v2 is way better. Phone, watch, iPad.

Plus they don’t appear to know what its real use case is yet.

But they don’t want to be a $3500 thing to play ports of Quest VR games from 4 years ago.

> Sometimes deeper understanding provides deeper insights to the problems at hand. But often, they don't, even when the deeper understanding is beautiful. If the hammer works when you hold it a certain way, that's great, but understanding all possible ways to hold a hammer doesn't always help get the nail in better.

Is it true? I mean, in mathematics having a proof of something is way stronger than having a conjecture. And in engineering, proving that your solution is optimal is way stronger than saying "hey look, I tried many things and finally it works!".

Worse, in statistics if you throw a bunch of tests and pick the one that "works" you might have false conclusions all the time. And AI is statistics.

Sure it works to test out 10 datatset and whatever number of different machine learning, but it takes time and money and might be suboptimal from an engineering POV.

> no clear path

The path is building an entire centrally-directed transit network out of custom vehicles. Waymo currently doesn't look anything like that because they're still doing R&D on the critical technology, but if we have good self-driving even in just nice weather, it's very easy to imagine a radical transformation of transit. Of course you can make money on that.

Hi Alex
Amazing work. I scanned the paper and dusted off my aging memories of Jeremy Howard’s course. Will your model live happily alongside the existing SD infrastructure such as ControlNet, IPAdapter, and the like? Obviously we will have to retrain these to fit onto your model, but conceptually, does your model have natural places where adapters of various kinds can be attached?

I was just thinking the same, but I'm skeptical.

When researchers want to publish a paper, are they going to pay extra money for extra difficulty in publishing their paper? No, they'll just use whatever toy environment is free or already established and get that paper published!
> They sell products not because they're better, but because they've convinced people Apple is cool.

That's not why I buy Apple products. I buy them because their build quality is impeccable, their software for the most part "just works" (ok they've gotten worse in this regard lately), and all their stuff works together. Having date move magically between my devices without doing anything is really compelling.
Sure. "pay me xx amount of money to hack your enemy's bank account", or possibly "pay me xx amount of money to get your money back after you've been hacked"
Sure, I agree - I'm proposing JSON as an intermediate step toward a well-defined data-model since the thousands of copied config files have evolved over time, so the data-model is a smear of backward-compatibility hacks.

What I was trying to do is get you to explain what you mean by this:

> If our code ran in real-time to show us a representation of the final configuration, and we could trace how each final configuration value was generated, then it wouldn't be a problem. [...] But no systems are designed with this capability, even though it is quite trivial to do. Configuration is always an after-thought.

Slightly OT: I still don't understand why did they choose Discord to be the interface of Midjourney. So weird. It's like the early ~2010s Battlefield games where you could only launch them through the web browser + a plugin.

If you know of a few serious applications of miniKanren in the wild, it would be great to see.
