I believe RWKV is actually an architecture that can be used for encoding: given a LSTM/GRU, you can simply take the last state as an encoding of your sequence. The same should be possible with RWKV, right?
Those things were efficacious; the material debate is which of various incompatible goals were to be privileged. Still the case—most everyone I know has decided they'll foreclose on modestly reduction of small known risks (and unknown long term ones), in favor of e.g. economic social and plain old everyday convenience.

My suspicion is that when nuanced multi-dimensional arguments collapse into binary ones, it's the collapse causing perception/accusation of disinformation. We perceive over-simplification as mendacious when it's done by "the other side," but excuse it (if we even mark it) on our side.
Same thing could have been said in 2007. "Everyone" knew there were a bunch of junk bonds floating around. What's uncertain is who is exposed and how bad is it, so which bank do you bet against?
I'm a bit puzzled as to why they did not include at least one HDMI output. Given that it has a fairly impressive hardware spec, it's not hard to imagine someone buying this as a device which could be an face computer when desired, and also for it to double as something like a Mac Mini.

I'm sure it supports Airplay, but being able to plug it in to a real monitor with a wire, wouldn't that make the purchase a bit more appealing?

The court opinion is surprisingly readable. I don't know why, but I was expecting a lot more opaque lawyerly jargon.

TLDR : The process used to decided the comp package was flawed (mainly because of the conflict of interest from the people negotiating on behalf of tesla) and the comp package itself can't be justified by objective metrics
I think we really need a minimal format for binary shaders (I really mean minimal). I wonder if mesa with ACO has one. GPU is all about performance, optimized assembly is more than appropriate. Still could have a reference implementation authored directly in SPIR-V (text->binary SPIR-V with a ssa checker), to avoid pulling those abominations of glsl or hlsl compilers (unless it exists plain and simple C written glsl or hlsl compilers to SPIR-V).

This web site is really good, reaaaaaaally good.
I believe it requires a keyboard and mouse to interact with it. In practice for most things the tap targets would be quite small and without being able to “snap” to UI elements you probably wouldn’t want to do this anyway.

Completely true, it would be a combination of both. Clearly it didn't meet a lot of expectations indicated by the selloff, but selling could also be aggravated by a sell day in the Nasdaq/XLC and high impact economic events on the horizon. This is all conjecture from me, I am by no means a market expert, just offering a way to rationalize the above comment on how a good/"not that bad" earnings report can still result in a stock having a large selloff.
I was just driving around in Seattle and couldn't help but notice everywhere I went was just a few miles away but it took 20-30 minutes because there was no highway in between. I have to wonder if that reduces or increases emissions. I suspect it's the latter since you have more cars running longer and stop/starting more often.
I think successful AI companies in 2030 will get there through a combination being above some minimum threshold of technical competence and execution and luck (right place, right time, right professional network). I think the former is probably lower than we'd expect, while the latter is much more important than we expect. I also think that in 2023, we will tell ourselves that those companies were inevitable because XYZ obvious reasons created a moat.
They look like the 3D version of police drawings.
Seems fun that most of the huge engineering effort seems to have gone into making the device feel as if its not there, Passthrough, Persona, EyeSight, and most of the downsides in the review comes from the fact that the device is still there.

The device is a simulation of the dream device that can overlay UI on top of your vision without you looking any different to those around you, I wonder how far away that is.

I didn't compare the tech sector now to the tech sector in 2010. Not sure where that came from.

I'm saying that having 0% rates for 10+ years resulted in a lot of behavior that is largely impossible in a normal non-zero environment and we're just beginning to fully discover what those behaviors were.
Actually, I find airpods to be very usable as bluetooth earbuds for all kinds of devices, these days I mostly use them behind my desktop PC when playing games and they work just fine.
When I pop them out of the case they automatically connect to my PC just like they would an iPhone or other apple device. They won't automatically switch to the PC like they would for apple devices but they also won't just switch from the PC so I don't mind.
Taking them out doesn't pause media but the play/pause controls do work.

I do think that most people without an iPhone won't buy them so they're essentially still bought as iPhone accessories, but they don't have to be!

I agree about the watch though, that's definitely an iPhone accessory.
"Piercing of the Human Parainfluenza Virus by Nanostructured Surfaces" (2024)
https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acsnano.3c07099 ;

> ABSTRACT: This paper presents a comprehensive experimental and theoretical investigation into the antiviral properties of nanostructured surfaces and explains the underlying virucidal mechanism. We used reactive ion etching to fabricate silicon (Si) surfaces featuring an array of sharp nanospikes with an approximate tip diameter of 2 nm and a height of 290 nm. The nanospike surfaces exhibited a 1.5 log reduction in infectivity of human parainfluenza virus type 3 (hPIV-3) after 6 h, a substantially enhanced efficiency, compared to that of smooth Si. Theoretical modeling of the virus–nanospike interactions determined the virucidal action of the nanostructured substrata to be associated with the ability of the sharp nanofeatures to effectively penetrate the viral envelope, resulting in the loss of viral infectivity. Our research highlights the significance of the potential application of nanostructured surfaces in combating the spread of viruses and bacteria. Notably, our study provides valuable insights into the design and optimization of antiviral surfaces with a particular emphasis on the crucial role played by sharp nanofeatures in maximizing their effectiveness.
Speaking of surgery, here's an analogy that might be helpful.

Five years ago I had a catastrophic ankle injury I suffered while running in Moab. Two broken bones, lots of torn ligaments, and otherwise irreparable damage without serious surgery.

I interviewed a whole bunch of surgeons before I decided where to go under the knife. And I don't remember where I got the advice, but someone told me the most important question to ask is: "How many times have you performed this specific surgery (a Maisonneuve fracture repair)?"

I eventually found the Steadman clinic and a doctor who had already performed the exact surgery I needed nearly 100 times. Everyone else's answer was less than 5. Some even answered 0. The surgical clinic I used had signed pictures of professional athletes all over the wall. I found the true specialist, and I'm very thankful that I did.

Even bad lawyers and surgeons are expensive. When you have a bet-the-business legal issue, do plenty of advanced interviewing to make sure that the one you hire has plenty of experience with the exact issue you need help with. If it's not obvious that you've found the right person, keep looking.

I think you don't even need to type out the whole option, just the first few letters most of the time? I haven't used PowerShell in a bit, but I think if you have a command with a -Force option, but just type -f, it will go through as -Force, if and only if the command doesn't have any other options starting in f
In my org at the Goog, we didn't have any layoffs, but we also aren't expecting any new headcount any time soon. Projects that need more staff are expected to cannibalize it from other projects under the same VP.

I feel like this is actually a good way of doing things, and wish Google did this more broadly. Just think if everyone who would have been laid off was instead transferred to a project that needs their skills, or given training to move into a role that's needed. Can you imagine what type of employee loyalty and morale that would engender?
There's no such thing as a RPi copycat, unless having "Pi" in the name or just being a small board that runs Linux counts as such. In the latter case, the FoxBoard LX432 (1) predates the first Raspberry Pi by six years.

> You say Tomato, I say Potato.

No, "Steamboat Willie" and "Steamboat Silly" are obviously different cartoons.

Specifically, the plot of "Steamboat Silly" involves Mickey pulling out old movies and playing back "Steamboat Willy" to other Disney characters. After a few seconds of clips from "Steamboat Willy," "Steamboat Silly" is a cartoon where a modern-style Mickey chases a 1920s-style Mickey through a completely different setting, with different characters as well.

You clearly haven't looked at the cartoons or trailers, and aren't basing your comments on any factual knowledge whatsoever.

> subjective interpretations.

You are arguing with fact, not making a subjective interpretation. Maybe you looked at the wrong video? Maybe you're just one of those people who likes to argue for the sake of arguing?

It's actually a bit interesting to see WSDOT's plan for i-5.

For capacity they aren't expanding I-5 directly, but expanding i-405 and sr167 instead for people trying to go past Seattle.

For i-5 within Seattle area, there are some 2030s plans to convert the hov lanes to toll lanes and reconfiguring the reversible express lane system.
* I-5 Managed Lanes: SR 16 to Pierce/ King County Line
* I-5 Managed Lanes: Pierce/ King County Line to I-405
* I-5 Managed Lanes: I-405 to US 2

I wonder what the BOM cost of the device is. At $500 they'd sell 100x as many. Hell, even at $999 they'd sell quite a lot of them. I'd probably give it a try for that price, but I'm hesitant to blow $3500.
I wonder given all this... what the expectations are at Apple from a higher up/board/executive standpoint are

Most of Apple offerings are good:

Watch

iPad

Mac

iPhone

services

Are they really expecting this to just be a hard problem initially that they get better at over time? When is the last time they launched a "so so" product?
There is also an oldish animated show (still don't know what it's intended audience was) called "Ren and Stimpy", Ren sounds far too similar to Wren.

A name change may be in order so people don't confuse the bird, the language, or the company, or the notes taking application with an "adult" oriented TV show.

No wonder we can‘t control drug smuggling, if even smuggling sand is lucrative.
I agree that the job isn't easy, but that doesn't mean it should be ignored. You speak of tracking down "every single case" as if they get close to that metric, but do they? How many do they actually track down? Is it greater than even 1%?

I just don't think they're doing the best they could be doing, is all, but that goes back to my suggestion about them being receptive to civilian oversight and control: we can run the numbers and determine objectively whether they're doing as good as we'd like them to be doing.
X windows system basically does that iirc, and I remember the magic you speak of.
Thankfully in life no third person gets to dictate what I mean by my own words. There's plenty of good research that comes from studying the silly things, science is filled with things that even an average person would say "duh" or "don't do that". That doesn't make them meaningless. If you disagree that's cool, but I still mean what I said exactly how I said it.

I'm aware of the research around this topic, it's something I like reading about and I've read a lot of takes both academic and colloquial. That may be why I put that idea into words.

Maybe, just maybe, in our future interactions you can avoid being so unnecessarily hostile?
Two can play that game. "Taking all this money you're wasting on AI and not giving it to buy mosquito nets is a form of murder."
Yeah, sure. I'm gonna go ahead and say Apple probably could have found a way to ship this over the visionOS dev cycle.
I think the big thing this experiment showed was how important wind tunnel testing was. It also reinforced that the big problem wasn't getting a vehicle in the air, it was controlling it once you did so. This seems obvious now, but back in the 19th century the control schemes were often inadequate or poorly tested so flights usually ended in crashes that destroyed the vehicle. Yet another lesson from the wind tunnel testing. Even in this article they spend a lot of time trying to work out how to trim the glider. Once you add a gasoline engine to a glider trying to control it by swinging your legs around is just not adequate.
Fun fact - it's the same judge that forced Musk to buy Twitter !
I am a bit advocate of remote work, but I actually think for _small teams_ offices make sense. I would thoroughly enjoy working in 4-8 people small office. It is when you get into high double digits and beyond when it becomes unbearable drain.
> There are many footguns. People love their guns. Makes them feel powerful.

Well, duh: if you remove the most egregious footguns from C, you end up basically with Pascal, and here is Why Pascal Is Not My Favorite Programming Language.

And when you try to explain to them that C's abstract machine has semantics of "when you omit a safety check, you actually makes a promise to the compiler that this check is redundant, that you'll promise that you'll make sure in some other way that in no possible execution will the illegal values ever show up in this place, and the compiler will actually hold you to this promise" — they throw tantrums and try to argue that no, it hasn't this semantics, and even if has, it's not the semantics as originally intended by K&R and it is the authors of the C compilers who are wrong (even though the authors of C compilers are the people who actually write both the C standards and the C compilers...)

Must have to do something with imprintment: I've learned C as my 3rd language, and from the start I was taught that its UB is absolutely insane — and I've never felt "nah, it should just do what I meant, dangit" denial about it, only "this is sad, how can I even know while writing code when I am making a baseless promise especially when it's made by omitting something?" But like you've said, people like their footguns.
My commute isn’t your commute, and you can’t make blanket statements like that.

My stress level while commuting is basically zero. Tbh the commute makes me less stressed because it’s a nice time to listen to audio books and provides a physical barrier to “transition” into work mode. I dislike RTO for other reasons, but my stress level was higher while WFH than it is from commuting.

German Authorities Seize $2B Worth of Bitcoin
Seattle is a narrow city bordered by water on the west and the east, so a lot of its expansion has happened along the north/south axis.

If I want to buy furniture, I need to go either to the far north or far south of the city to a suburb just outside the city limits (cheaper land).

Culturally, lots of food can only be found in certain areas of the city, which means north/south traveling.

In regards to services overall, obscene land prices means that not much new is being built that isn't owned by large corporations, so we are pretty much stuck with what we have, and what we have is rather quickly disappearing.

Tim Apple reportedly overrode the design team on launching it prematurely relative to their typical standards in order to enter the market and begin iterating before waiting too long. It’s the first new product category made under his leadership and he’s eyeing retirement, as context.

I'd argue that part of what enables the current issues is exactly the "hack" of making the gestalt believe that capitalism, free market/enterprise, the ideas of Adam Smith, etc. are all part of capitalism instead of things that at best partially overlap.

This means that people who want to grow richer just by virtue of being rich can easily defend their actions by making any who complain into common enemy for everyone else.

Because penalizing pure financial speculation and other rent-seeking behaviours, or predatory private equity, can be conflated this way with attack on ability of everyone to start their own enterprises, maybe walk away from a job and create their own, etc.

I guess as two legged creatures we don't really think much about how walking works, esp with more les.

We have walk, run, jog but those all are just one leg in front of the other. I guess we do have some unusual gaits with skipping and such.

It's obvious four legs give you more patterns to work with.

I just didn't realize that for horses this was a genetic thing or that the three common gaits were unique patterns/footfalls in the first place.
Two things:

1. "sell on the news"

2. results vs "expectations"[1]

"expectations" is a weird Wall St concept where some small number of people who don't necessarily know much get to invent a set of numbers for the company results in the future. Then a bunch of other people who know even less believe/pretend that those expectations mean something, and will buy/sell the stock accordingly when the actual results are revealed. Yes Kabuki Theater.

There's no reason it can't be a mix of both, even in the same buildings. The single-purpose zoning in the US is a curse, and the lack of that is one of the elements that make a city like Tokyo so walkable. Sure, you can take a train to a shopping oriented area, but day to day you might have essentials close by.

Even antipatterns like delivery for everything are less appealing if you can just walk a little bit down the street and pick up groceries or whatever.
There is, however, considerable upside in having all the same key bindings whether you're in local UI (maybe using tramp) or ssh to a remote server. Tramp has limitations and is a bit clunky so I use it rarely.
