>The deals included 21 sci-fi industry projects involving companies that produce films, parks, and immersive sci-fi experiences. Others were related to the development of melodramas, games, and the metaverse. Additionally, various service platforms for sci-fi franchise incubation projects and sci-fi cultural and creative funds will be developed.

For example, with a 2-billion-yuan investment, the "Chinese Stories - Sci-fi Situation Drama Incubation Base Project" aims to establish a platform using a program-park-base-academy model, consolidating top resources in the sci-fi industry chain. Moreover, with a 1-billion-yuan investment, the "Three-Body Universe Global Headquarters" project plans to develop games, films, TV shows, brands, and merchandise. Works by renowned sci-fi writer He Xi are also set for commercialization, facilitated by a strategic partnership between the author, Eight Light Minutes Culture, and Shanghai Film Group.

"Chinese science fiction is evolving from a solely text-based medium to a diverse range of formats encompassing comics, movies, games, VR, XR, toys, and film merchandise," said Ji Shaoting, the founder and CEO of the sci-fi cultural company Future Affairs Administration. "As the genre integrates into daily life and attracts a younger audience in China, it signifies a potential upsurge in its future influence. This rise also reflects a more inclusive approach, drawing inspiration from sci-fi from around the world."
You definitely seem open to polite conversation.
This is a triumph. I'm making a note here: huge success.
Seems an unpopular opinion but I thought EEAAO was pretty daft and I'm surprised at the reception it received and all the Oscars it won.

Now don't get me wrong, it's a fun flick and I'm genuinely glad for the three actors that won an Oscar (bless 'em), but it seemed like fan service from a waning institution trying to generate goodwill more than cinematic mastery from anyone involved.

The film is slightly better than a super bowl Pepsi commercial. There was nothing in this film that was any better than recent Marvel films, and none of them deserve awards for basic stories, basic dialogue and a lot of flashing lights and "multiverse".

We all love googly eyes, but that's not enough to carry a film.

After having seen them on the road, I don't think the look is amazing or terrible. It's just something new that is somewhere between truck-ish and car-ish.

There are innovative things to admire about it - interesting steering, non-trucklike-ride, squat to load, covered bed, AC power taps, self-driv^H^H^H^Hsteering/cruise.

There are awful things to endure - lack of dedicated controls for critical stuff, everything on touchscreen in center of car.

I think it's just going to exist and at some point lose its novelty.
How accurate is it to frame Dragonball this way. Im not that knowledgeable about either Dragonball nor journey to the West but it seems like a massive stretch.

> I started seeing a lot of comments claiming that you need scale to do moderation, anti-spam, anti-fraud, etc., around the time Zuckerberg, in response to Elizabeth Warren calling for the breakup of big tech companies, claimed that breaking up tech companies would make content moderation issues substantially worse

Well Zuckerberg is correct in context. Politicians don't mean moderation as in everyone is being civil with each other or garbage results. That isn't a political issue. They mean things like supporting the local censorship regime which is usually country-specific. So from a political perspective, more centralisation is the only way to successfully implement moderation. Because moderation doesn't mean "behave to community standards" - it means "comply with politician's standards". Ie, moderating what people can say as part of their legal and political engagement with society.

I recall when Australia had a suppression order about Cardinal Pell, high ranking official in the Catholic church who was convicted of various sex offences. And in fairness the case was a political football so the order was reasonable. It was eventually overturned but reputational damage was done because, unfortunately for the courts, there are too many foreign news organisations so the block failed miserably and it was major news in Australia without any official Australian news sources covering it.

It would be relatively easy to enforce that sort of block if the major foreign distributors were just Facebook or YouTube. They'd probably cooperate with the Australian authorities on request.

Just curious... how come noone else in the ruby scene seems to use an actual debugger? IDEA has a front-end for ruby-debug-ide and it is divine, it puts pry to shame. Does VSCode or others not have this or something?

Some of the other stuff mentioned in the blog post... why tail development.log if you can tail stdout and get all that nice console coloration and such?

> That’s all brand, marketing and distribution. It has little to do with the protocol underneath.

This reads like a robustly stupid argument. By the author's logic, I'd wager they think 90% of software services are the same since they all run on x86-linux boxes.

Except, it's not. I'm a huge SaaS detractor myself, but you'd be silly to say that VPN companies are competing against website hosts under a different label. They're different businesses with different expectations and concerns. The same is true about AI, which is why it's pretty stupid to make the argument that AI is all just branding. Google's AI cloud is not the same as OpenAI's, which is not the same as Meta's which is not the same as Tesla's.

And like... isn't AI actually differentiated by technically distinct strategies? BERT and GPT-2 are not created equal, nor is LLaVA or any of the MoE models. They're all strategically discrete approaches that yield different results.

Maybe AI is a little like soda or craft beer. But water? Hmmm...

Hinton thinks LLMs can "understand" because without understanding it's impossible to predict the next work as effectively as GPT-4. The only way to do that is to understand the meaning in the text. He also says he's given GPT-4 a novel reasoning problem he invented and it successfully answered, which wouldn't be possible without a level of understanding/intelligence (although I'm not sure how he ensured the problem wasn't in its training data).
Practically all materials behave nonlinearly when stretched or compressed a visible amount. For certain structural applications, though, if that happens we've already failed. Linear models work really well for designing big concrete structures and certain metal structures. Sometimes we try to apply linear models to other things, but that's always kind of fishy.

It’s weird how most comments here are dismissive of the article because content is more important than looks. But the article states just as much:

> Ultimately, what your talk is about is the content. Anything visual that you add is only there to support your points, keep your listeners interested and help them follow along.

Further, this article is specifically about the aesthetics of slides! a topic not written about often, and therefore quite interesting to read.

I used to believe this but I don't think so any longer after enough time on the internet.

There's probably not more than 50k meaningfully unique sites with some notable amount of actual desirable information, after excluding all the SEO'ed sites, blogs repeating each other, etc... at least for the English web.

Manual curation is entirely possible since probably there aren't even 50 such sites being created per day on average. This is including every single forum still open to public viewing. There really aren't that many left (<10k).
This “cooperation” with the state is a huge problem though.

Wherever you choose, the cost-of-living will determine a lot of what you can do. (Especially if you're saving for college, or even planning to travel with your family.) And of course, there's the quality of the schools, and who your kids will be hanging out with in their formative years as they're growing up.

If you're planning for the next 20 years, you might also want to take climate change into consideration. (If you end up in Arizona, you're almost certainly going to be spending much of your summers indoors....)

In my opinion, she buried the most important part under point 3 - "Slides should support your talk." Too many beginners see the slides as the presentation, and they are there to direct peoples' attention through the slides. People present. Slides support.
> I don't know why this needs to exist given all those... I guess it was just a fun project?

The answer is already in your reply. This is a pure approach that has 3 dependencies: xlib, xft, and farbfield, while the other solutions proposed (except perhaps some cli options at the bottom) have much larger and complex dependencies like Electron, Node, React, etc.

The point of this isn't to have features but be the absolute bare minimum (to the point of being almost unusable albeit). Personally, I see suckless apps as more of an experiment to see just how bare you can go while keeping foundational functionality. They definitely aren't made to be a featureful app though, only the bare minmimum.

As for why was it made then? Why not?
Technically, one of them is going to be the fastest.

This is an ad-hoc query. It does a full scan, processing slightly less than a billion rows per second on a single machine, and finishes in a reasonable time with over 7 billion events on GitHub from 2015. While it does not make sense to optimize this table for my particular query, the fact that it works well for arbitrary queries is worth noting.

Not when talking to Elizabeth Warren. It wasn't that much later that all the Hunter Biden laptop thing happened and showcased what Zuck was getting at. In context it was a straightforward, informative and correct answer for this audience.

> US Foods Holding Corp. (formerly known as U.S. Food service) is an American food service distributor founded in 1989. With approximately $24 billion in annual revenue, US Foods was the 10th largest private company in the US until its IPO. Many of the entities that make up US Foods were founded in the 19th century, including one that sold provisions to travelers heading west during the 1850s gold rush. US Foods offers more than 350,000 national brand products and its own "exclusive brand" items, ranging from fresh meats and produce to prepackaged and frozen foods. The company employs approximately 25,200 people in more than 60 locations nationwide, and provides food and related products to more than 250,000 customers, including independent and multi-unit restaurants, healthcare and hospitality entities, government and educational institutions. The company is headquartered in Rosemont, Illinois, and is a publicly traded company trading under the ticker symbol USFD on the New York Stock Exchange.

> Gross profit of $6.1 billion increased $656 million, or 11.9%, from the prior year, primarily as a result of an increase in total case volume, cost of goods sold optimization, increased freight income from improved inbound logistics and optimized pricing. Gross profit as a percent of Net sales was 17.3%. Adjusted Gross profit was $6.1 billion, a 9.0% increase from the prior year. Adjusted Gross profit as a percent of Net sales was 17.3% and adjusted Gross profit per case was strong due to the aforementioned factors.

The LowCardinality data type does not require the whole set of values to have a low cardinality. It benefits when the values have locally low cardinality. For example, if the number of unique values in `repo_name` is a hundred million, but for every million consecutive values, there are only ten thousand unique, it will give a great speed-up.
> what is the deal with all the completely different moderation guidelines ... for every subreddit

My sense is that the bigger the userbase, the more it attracts junk, spam, abuse, etc. So, the rules get tightened to combat it. Also, my impression is that the moderation tools are not great, so crude/heavy-handed methods are sometimes all that is available.

I think you found the corollary already: smaller subreddits have less rules and/or less strict enforcement.

I'm not sure a better solution, given the situation. Though I agree it can be discouraging for well-meaning occasional contributors.

No it really wasn’t. Delaware goes out of its way to trust corporate boards to make business decisions, especially around compensation.

In this case Tesla screwed up at least 3 different standards that are generally biased towards the company against shareholders. Only the last of those 3 standards has anything to do with relative compensation.

Not necessarily. "fastest" could mean many different things, and one might be faster in some situations but slower in others, or the difference in speed could less than the uncertainty in the measurement.

Basically, either you have unsigned numbers (conjugated magnitude), with growth/shrink operations, or you have numbers with a polarity, with displacement operations .

It is incomplete to have the notion of "negative numbers" without also including the imaginary parts.

Maybe it's because to scientists and statisticians comfortable with linear algebra, everything looks like a linear model.
The real "economy of scale" in these platforms is not actually providing any support , moderation, fraud prevention. It's not that they scale it better, it's just that they don't do it and get away with it through market power.

If I provide Andy's small town taxi service and have a customer service issue, I deal with it personally and properly or I go out of business. If I'm uber I just ignore it. It has nothing to do with efficiency, it's just getting the monopoly power to treat your customers badly and get away with it.

Which, of course combined with the larger attack surface, is why bigger platforms do so much worse on spam/fraud/support.
