The French example is horrible. Barely sensical, very weird, absolutely not what a native person would write nor say. It looks like something someone who barely speaks French would produce.
Performance is part of the implementation. Therefore, if it regresses, it is silly to claim it was incorrect before. Seems more likely to claim that tradeoffs were made for performance.

I'm ok with performance leaning on advances in the hardware. I'm also ok with performance dropping if you are pushing more pixels. But, we had high resolution displays years ago. Such that that is a tough hill to defend.
in my experience the second option is majorly jarring for those who did the homework and derails timelines. Often i've found if something is that low priority that it can be delayed for days to weeks then it's not actually important enough to spend time on.
I think most jailbroken consoles these days are more of a PITA to get working though - e.g. updates will either have stopped anyway or if they're still been released, they may stop the jailbreak from working. Older consoles' gamepads also tend to not be in a great quality after deteriorating over the years (in fact the gamepad i got with my og xbox was in terrible condition with a non-working left trigger, though fortunately RetroFighters made a new one which i preordered), etc. Personally i think an emulator running on a tiny PC or Raspberry Pi connected to a TV with HDMI is going to be much easier and viable long term.

Though if you already have the console sitting there anyway might as well use it, but i think even the "easiest" option - Xbox Series X/S (which officially allows you to install your own programs) - is still not that seamless.

> You might get a kick out of this, I made two homebrew games for PSP back in high school. They run well in PPSSPP, if you don't have the original hardware handy.

Neat, i downloaded them and i'll check them out. Note BTW that the dev diary links seem to be broken for both games.
If you're building your own power and sewerage stations, you're going to have to build across a lot more than just residential subdivisions with handy built in covenants...

Oh, and covenants are entirely unenforceable without government anyway.

Apparently some UK police even think that "this isn't Communist China" is hate speech, an illegal utterance. They're wrong of course, but that won't stop them from trying to make trouble for you.
Obvious money.

At some point though, an objective look at how much these few are going to control in the next 25 years is just staggering.

And the world is sycophantic to them, so - I guess the dystopian Cyberpunk Future will just settle in all comfy.

I wish I had stayed the course and never left Datacenter Design, but there were too many Shiny Objects afoot at the time.

This is true, but also these apps tend to be poor quality.

I have a Quest 3, and I suspect a lot of the people who are thinking AVP and not Quest 3 haven't liked Meta's pitch. A lot of the metaverse stuff is silly. It was a poor pitch, and it wasn't remotely ready.

Beyond that, the Meta Quest 3 doesn't have the best screens, so things like watching video aren't actually very good. The passthrough is comically bad, so any AR stuff is really a no go.

The only things the Meta Quest 3 does well is video games and video game fitness experiences. The reason to consider the Quest 3 is almost 100%, "do you want to play VR video games without breaking the bank?" That's it.

The Vision Pro is not making that pitch at all, and doesn't even support motion controllers.

I don't think there is a lot of cross shopping between the two, and I don't think people looking at the Vision Pro are just Apple enthusiasts. They simply aren't that interested in video games, but are interested in the other experiences Apple is touting.
The shipping benefit isn't even that good on Prime anymore with all the garbage sellers outside of Amazon fulfillment, and they give away free shipping on orders of $35+. Whole Foods becoming worse under Amazon made that benefit worth less. Prime Wardrobe limits make it hit or miss on whether you actually can use it to try stuff on. Prime Pantry, Prime Music, and Audible have separate upgrades with monthly fees to make them useful.

If Prime Video is also a nightmare, I'm not sure what the point of Prime still actually is. Prime Reading? Just go to the library. Prime Days are full of future landfill goods. Prime Gaming? Prescriptions?
I think the main pain point is going to be that you can't download content to watch on a plane. I checked and I can't do that in MacOS Safari.
Graphene is made in various ways, ranging from scotch tape (relatively large crystals), to ultrasonic dispersion of graphite in water and soap (tiny microscopic flakes) to vapor deposition for large films, and all sorts of other variations of those themes depending on what you want. Flakes are trivially produced and are starting to be used as additives for desirable structural, electrical, and chemical effects.

Graphene was initially created using scotch tape, however, and it remains a reliable and simple method of getting high quality graphene for lab experiments.
>If anyone wants to work on this problem with me without solving the self-driving truck / Aurora problem outright

In the US, we un-solved this problem decades ago when we abandoned railroads for subsidized auto development.
Same for me, I cancelled my Prime subscription a few months ago because 1 day delivery is not a thing anymore. I liked Prime Video initially but it has become unwatchable (the fact there’s no way to filter out movies I don’t have access to is infuriating).

Funnily enough, the first order I made AFTER cancelling my subscription was free delivery for some reason, and actually got delivered in 1 day.

Depends what you consider resources. CPU cycles are resources. Programmer hours are resources.
Could someone please summarize the differences (or similarities) of the LLM part against TGWUI+llama.cpp setup with offloading layers to tensor cores?

Asking because 8x7B Q4_K_M (25GB, GGUF) doesn't seem to be "ultra-low latency" on my 12GB VRAM + RAM. Like, at all. I can imagine running 7-13GB sized model with that latency (cause I did, but... it's a small model), or using 2x P40 or something. Not sure what the assumptions they make in the README. Am I missing something? Can you try it without TTS part?
I got laughed at by a north american once for letting her know I was taking a bath (instead of a shower). apparently "bubble baths" are only for kids there. In austria either are common though. Modern bathtubs are usually a bit slimmer to save on water.
Pg_analytics: Transforming Postgres into a Fast Analytical Database
Nice visualization! A few improvement suggestions -- I noticed that it is easy to clip the 'master' output, a 'master fader' to control its output (or a checkbox to rescale visualization based on maximum value).

Also, implementing a phase control for each harmonic would also be interesting for visualization.

Finally, why not add a wavetable synth to allow you to hear the resulting waveform?
These are great. I'm making it such that if someone preps a meeting they HAVE to assign a responsible person for each and every talking point.

When they do this, that person gets a notice saying they have something to prepare ahead of time for.

SO even if they don't have enough time to look at the whole agenda, they can easily identify what exactly they need to pinpoint-prep for.

I always enter (local area code)+8675309 when prompted, because at stores like Safeway you're gonna pay more unless you enter something. Bonus, you can then use that same number at gas stations that do grocery rewards, and you'll usually get the maximum discount. Beats the hell out of using your own phone number.
It didn't start with vapes, addiction has been known for a long long time to be very lucrative. The opium wars are a not so distant historical example. Cigarette companies were the big boys in the 20th century, and they successfully turned food addictive in the 80s and 90s, to the point that now you can't buy anything packaged that isn't designed to be addictive. Vapes started as probably the least addictive addictive thing in legal trade, a stop smoking product and a very effective one at that. This phenomenon didn't start with elf bars.

Is that a typo, or does Amazon Prime really take 5 days for you?

I'm in a suburb right outside Portland, OR. Prime is nearly always 2 days. Sometimes it's next day, even on weekends. Meanwhile, anybody else is at least a week, even when shipping from California.
You're correct.

I reiterated over my last comments and they've been snarky lately.

Not an excuse, a lot is going on and overworked and without patience lately.

That shouldn't reflect in my comments and I'll pay more attention to it.

Have a good week.
Hard for me to imagine that this could be solved in text space. I think the prediction task needs to be done on the audio.

Also, most windows aren't eligible for tooltips if they are not the focused, active window. I remember that difference being hard to explain to people when Windows 3.x and Mac Classic used entirely different title bars between the two states and sometimes even "shadowed" the window contents. It's especially hard to explain to today in a multi-monitor world and when inactive windows respond by default to all other inputs except some hover behaviors like tooltips. (I'm a software developer and know all this too well and I still tripped over it the other day wondering why tooltips wouldn't show up in a window and only realizing belatedly that the window wasn't active.)

I used to be a news addict, doom-scrolling through Google News etc. several times a day. After the Trump years, though, I decided to take a break. Basically stopped consuming most news, only occasionally checking the wire services (like apnews.com) maybe a few times a month or less.

Yep, the country's going to shit still, the Middle East is at war, the world's burning up, schoolkids are getting murdered, etc. Same ol', same ol'. Nothing I can do about any of it anyway, so what's the point of stressing over it?

I don't even remember any major events after Covid, and my life seems no better or worse off for it. I also deleted all my social media a few years ago, and that was definitely a HUGE net positive.

I don't think people in general -- as a barely evolved ape -- really have the mental and emotional capacities to consume ceaseless global catastrophes in real-time. It just seems like a surefire recipe for anxiety and depression. The "media-pharmaceutical complex", maybe?

Not surprising. Actually even speculating any damages for just viewing would likely be waste of time. Even if you could claim legal costs, the non claimable costs of overseeing such case would be substantially more than any penalties.

I think if you ask the question, how do you make a compelling narrative when there's one camera, it can move anywhere on set, and it's sentient? One answer is "that's a video game." And there's definitely a lot of ways to tell a story through gameplay.

But a lot of filmmakers don't want to make video games, and finding new answers to that question is something that VR struggles with today.
You'd have to go to his source to decipher this. He was inspired by Beowulf, and the dragon in that story is based in general dragon mythology of its times. These could be read (in a non-Christian, pagan frame, which is where Tolkien was working) as allegories of environmental/ecological dangers - deadly wildlife, earthquakes, volcanoes, etc.

I've been married 3 times, I have offspring. I am at an age now where I can still be sexually active, but I choose not to because I'm frankly done with marriage and dating. I'm not attractive enough to pick anyone up on any dating sites, and meeting people in person just won't happen. For me, a sex robot would be an interesting diversion. I don't need to "want to have sex with" a woman to be friendly with that woman. I also don't need to go out on dates and do all kind of pointless shit just so I can get my dick wet. I'm at peace with being by myself. If I choose to have sex with a robot, who are you to judge?

In many countries the police address complaints of illegal streaming from copyright holders reporting individual IP addresses accessing torrents they are sitting on. Why on earth would the UK have a policy that the Police's time could be spent actively detecting that activity. Like how is that ever a priority?

I am glad I left the UK long ago. When I go back I see cameras literally everywhere. Going on the motorway is insane, indeed any given road is peppered with speed cameras, but the motorway has taken it to the max.

It's well known that an individual can be tracked pretty much across the country on various CCTV. While this is great for crime detection it does have a social morale cost that is not considered as they quietly descend unimpeded into 1984.

Anyone see the debacle of the piano player being gaslit by a police officer dealing with Chinese people complaining he was filming them in public?
It's not really for "traditional" VR gaming. The Quest is a console; the VP is a computer you can work on, with an OS designed for it. (I own six VR headsets and have an AVP on the way.)

I love gaming and would like Apple to support it more, but it's not the reason I'm interested in the AVP. They're looking into it [0], but it's just not that relevant to them right now, and that's OK.

Nazi germany had a weird relationship with Christianity; the country was overwhelmingly religious, the party had some rabid anti-Christian views at the top and seemed to view it as a competing power structure incompatible with their plans, but seems to have decided to put off that fight for later.

> In public speeches, he portrayed himself and the Nazi movement as faithful Christians.[42][43] In 1928 Hitler said in a speech: "We tolerate no one in our ranks who attacks the ideas of Christianity... in fact our movement is Christian."[44] But, according to the Goebbels Diaries, Hitler hated Christianity. In an 8 April 1941 entry, Goebbels wrote "He hates Christianity, because it has crippled all that is noble in humanity."

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_Nazi_Germany

I mean, if his public speeches describe it as a Christian movement and his right hand man’s private journals describe him as a secret atheist… I dunno, I think it is just typical Nazi incoherence on topics not related to racial hatred.

In general I think it is hard to work out whether a historical figure believes in anything other than power. I’m not sure it makes sense to attribute the evil actions of individual leaders to particular religious belief systems without some pretty deep scrutiny. If you just go by the beliefs they profess, you get a list of which belief systems were popular, because those are the belief systems they went to co-opt.

> These kind of observations go against the politics of identitarian academia, so you probably won't find much of confirmation there.

You mean to say that you prefer the older identitarian politics wherein people who look different from you are less than human? Indeed, science has moved on from that, and prefer to deal with data and not unexamined biases with sources such as fiction writers.
