Bitcoin futures hit a 27-month high of $23 Billion.
Ethereum follows suit by surging in derivatives trading amid market optimism.
In recent months, the cryptocurrency market has witnessed an unprecedented surge in both investment and speculation, with derivatives trading reaching remarkable highs. Bitcoin, the leading digital asset, has once again taken the spotlight as its futures open interest surpassed $10 billion for the first time since July 2022. This surge is emblematic of the fervent interest among investors and traders, signaling a period of crowd euphoria.

At the forefront of this surge are notable cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and Chainlink (LINK), each witnessing a substantial increase in open interest in derivative markets, according to popular aggregator platform, Santiment.
Not to mention that all the new "small" trucks force you to get a giant four-door cab, which results in a puny bed. I guess the manufacturers have determined that everyone who wants a small truck is a poser.

Look at Ford's own picture of two hapless hipsters struggling to fit any furniture into a Maverick. They're not even going to get the couch in there, let alone all that other crap: https://www.thedrive.com/content-b/message-editor%2F16461598...

The thing that has me concerned is that even if you keep the consoles working, and even if you have an extensive library of physical media, these days what’s on the disc is probably an unpatched, incomplete, possibly unplayable mess.

That’s not intended as a criticism of game development, just an expression of fear for the preservation implications. It’s no longer enough to preserve what’s in your hands—which is difficult enough where electronics are concerned—but now someone must find some way to extract, archive, and reapply all the day one patches, bug fixes, DLC packs etc.
Yeah, I stopped reporting issues to projects when I have seen tons of stale bot closed issues. Those were real bugs, still really in the codebase, just no one fixed it for arbitrary short time.
> People assume this and I never understand why.

Of course it is not a guarantee. It is possible that the alien invasion fleet arrives, they land, unload their main battle tanks and a passing puppy laps up their whole fleet accidentally.

What we know that by virtue of them being here they are either very good at faster than light travel, or they are good at traveling slow.

If they are good at FTL what else are they good at? We currently think that is impossible. What other things we think as impossible are practiced by them?

If they traveled slow, they must be also good at maintaining their equipment on crazy long timeframes. It also shows that they are the patient sorts who plan and execute things on the order of timelines our empires crumble. How long have they been with us then? How much preparation did they do beforehand? Did Pham Nuwen code the intel management engine?

But sure, it is possible that the Aliens arrive. They broadcast a TV signal threatening us, but unfortunately the sync is a bit off so basicaly no-one understands it. Then they enter our atmosphere. The high oxygen concentration rusts their equipment and they all die.
What a silly way to look at it.

Are losses overpaid wages too?
I watched some of this after it was promoted to me on YouTube.

It is very much: Look at this other cool blackbox that Google has made - I think it has a helpful personality.

And sure: Applied AI / ML is a part of computer science but I had hoped it would be more of a walk-through of what has happened in terms of advances in theory, algorithms, architecture, training methodology, and perhaps some sort of explanation of why does it work giving this general purpose model a bunch of medical data? (Is it merely an elaborate fuzzy search, how does it extrapolate, is there actually reasoning going on and how does emerge from a neural net etc...)
And some rendering libraries in .NET
Looks like Google is going through its own year of efficiency phase.

Do you use markdown or do you use dedicated software?
I miss mine too, same thing goes for the seats. Modern car seats are so stiff, I'm sure it's a safety thing but I miss the good old cloth sofas the ZX had.

I would've driven it into the ground but low emission zones happened and it became more and more of a hassle to drive unfortunately.
Cool but they should get rid of the medium links. I'm not that curious.
It uses ffprobe for metadata, and ffmpeg for transcoding.
It might return to the main loop if you throw a NoPrintingOnXboxException… if and only if the author of the app has decided to catch a broad enough exception in that exact place in the code, and handles it gracefully. Good practice to always handle any exception that might be thrown, but it’s not always obvious in the past where there might be a chance for an exception to be thrown. For instance, the printing subsystem itself can’t be missing, can it??

So anyway, the platform vendor can’t be sure the above situation is perfectly handled by every app, so the entire point of the article is “given you must technically comply with the published API specifications, how can you construct the least harmful and least disruptive response to every request sent to this fully-removed system component.”

This whole exercise is basically constructed in order to usually guarantee the outcome you’re suggesting: to cause the app to just return to its normal functioning without doing the impossible thing.
> It won't work "unilaterally" for obvious reasons but there are lots of p2p, e2e, security and crypto type apps where creators would love to be able to reduce the degree to which infra like CDNs and hosting need to be trusted.

If we are moving out of the http/web space into some sort of distributed protocol, just use magnet links, problem solved. Or some equivalant hash based content-addresable scheme. (How applicable depends on what space we are talking about)
There is absolutely nothing today preventing workers from operating the way you want them to.

If your system is so successful, why aren't most companies running like that?
As usual, it ends up being about emulators instead of creating new stuff.
Mainly because I am not ready to share my DHT indexing implementation. It's the culmination of years of working with BitTorrent and DHTs and I'd like to get something back for it one day. However I do dogfood Cove and want people to have that experience too.
...but is it Tinie Tempah proof?
Yeah, this is a problem for me also. FF UI is so big. Also, why a huge white space between the reload and url bar???? It is a horrible waste of space.
There isn't much incentive in making new stuff when it can be shut down by Sony or whatever company at any moment. See A2MR.
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's Proposed Data Rules
> In October, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) proposed a set of rules that if implemented would transform how financial institutions handle personal data about their customers. The rules put control of that data back in the hands of ordinary Americans, while at the same time undermining the data broker economy and increasing customer choice and competition. Beyond these economic effects, the rules have important data security benefits.
lets say AI is not-so-smart JPEG which has more parts missing, and there is more guesswork when producing restoration.

compression is most of the times about finding the minimal grammar that unfolds to the same original material.

interestingly Fabrice Bellard somehow found a way to use transformers for compression without loss, and beats xz by significant margin. https://bellard.org/nncp/nncp_v2.1.pdf. it uses "deterministic mode of PyTorch" to make sure both directions work alike which I guess means - it saves the random toss throughout compression, for the decompression to use. note: this paper is still on my to-read list.
It's called Planet 9, actually subject of scientific research, because we barely see anything at all.

Why would an algorithm be better? Because it has 15 years of my listening history and can offer music based on my personal taste. You can even get the radio experience with human public playlists with the added advantage that you can skip songs 10 seconds into them if you don't like them.

Start a niche human curated playlist with death metal and Bieber. No ads and you can skip a song whenever. 10 minutes later you can change to a playlist with movie music and 90s rap. All in one app. You can even add your store purchased music.

Spotify does everything a radio station does, just better. The one exception is having a living person talk between songs about his day. They do have an AI generated DJ though if you're into it and want to hear the names of the songs.
And there was work in the Chromium PDF library, pdfium, to switch to SKIA from AGG. It was going slowly for many years and wasn't finished last time I looked about three years ago.
If Nvidia adds L1/2/3 cache in next gen of AI cards, will they work similar or is this something more?
It looks really good. I have tried a PDF and asked for 4 keys and an object, and managed to extract them with high accuracy!

Feedback:

1. Entering fields manually can be hard for long documents; it would be great to upload a file, set boundaries (such as canvas) and define these boundaries.

2. You've mentioned you're GDPR compliant; with this kind of data extraction, you'd mostly want to go SOC2 in the future.

Do you offer a self-hosted version?
By backend/frontend let’s assume you are talking about a web app and the browser.

If you can program, are comfortable with data structures, and gain familiarity with Nodes APIs, and finally can set up a database the only real distinction then becomes programming and data. But let’s examine why people fail at this so very badly.

First, the compile target of the browser is the DOM. It’s an in-memory data structure. When you accept that reality and can actually write original code you no longer need large frameworks or vanity nonsense like jQuery. It’s just programming plus a standard data structure with a given API. If you cannot reach this pinnacle of clarity everything remains challenging and you will need other software to do it for you.

Second, you need to understand transmission to talk outside the browser even on localhost. There are several options available. HTTP 1.1 remains the primary standard and WebSockets remain the only full duplex option, but WebSockets are inherently session oriented while HTTP remains session less. If this is not your language you are not ready to write any kind of backend for any web app in any language.

That’s all there is to it, assuming you can program. I was writing JavaScript full time for 15 and almost never found developers who could do these things. It’s not challenging if you accept some minor level of self sufficiency.
No, this is perfect analogy. Russia attacks those who are weak. Hence why everyone from the polar circle down to the Mediterranean have joined NATO.
My thoughts exactly. I could have used this article when I was researching to wire my whole house for CAT5 25 years ago. I moved house last month and put in a mesh network. It felt far too easy!
There’s already a lot of common sense things people can do: night lights, padded floor mats by the bed, handrails by the stairs, not leaving stuff on the ground where you might trip over it. I think I’d do that stuff before some sort of smart lighting system.
I assume you never heard of Roman Protasevich before the plane incident?

Navalny on the other hand has done many notable things and was in the news all the time before his death. His is the first name you think of when you think of Russian opposition. This is not a valid comparison.
Time to reinvent GOD and eternal life then. Perhaps also time to consult and check whether it's a mid-life crisis, or something wrong with sleep cycles or overworking. I really wish u get better soon.
Make them lift weights and stretch, probably the simplest, cheapest, easiest, best bang for your buck investment you can do in your entire lifetime. It's doesn't even take much, even stagnation is better than rotting away

Red Language: 0.6.5: Changelog
Bad initial designs then will forever doom any project, if only the project has a few users. And there are lots of bad designs in the open source world and in the programming projects world in general. Especially so in the NPM and Python ecosystems. In many widespread tools.

Correct me if I'm wrong but it seems from the docs that the answer is no?
It didn't improve efficiency by much for a long time. In the end of the western roman empire there were epidemics and the population was greatly reduced.

Before the plague, great amounts of land were used for crops, even if the yield was low. After the plague, they started to have cows or sheeps instead, since they needed less food.

The first paragraph of the article is about doing this to harvest flowers for economic reasons, so a significant amount of the nutrients are being removed from the waterways and wrapped in plastic to be sold. (unfortunately, this experiment was also done on top of beds of floating plastic)

Hopefully someday we can move beyond the desire for grass lawns, since that's where a lot of this waste is coming from.
Can't wait to switch my laptop to a phone running full Linux.

Imagine just walking around with one normal phone and one phone that you can hook to with xreal glasses, connect that phone to a remote server and you got yourself all the power you want in your hands (provided you have good Internet).
> I meant some watermarking that can’t be redone even if the weights are shared

I've been working a bunch on neural networks, and I'm quite convinced that this isn't possible (as in, not that we haven't built a tool for this yet, but that it's not possible to build such a tool and weights can always be redone) - I'm not wholly certain as I have been surprised before, but I'd need to see some evidence to even consider this as plausible. Fine-tuning can change a lot, adversarial examples can target very specific aspects of the model.

Furthermore, people do train models from scratch - even if 99.9% of models would include unremovable watermarks, all fraudsters need is for a single unmarked model to exist; and if it doesn't, they can fund the GPU-time to train one since they're running a high-revenue business, fraud has more money than academia.
I didn't claim it didn't exist. I claimed it was not widespread at all.
The first describes the chaining up instructions, the second describes chaining up instructions. I don't see the difference too what a real programming language do in that term, compared to a scripting language.

What is a real programming language? I asked my father, he said nothing more pure as ASM - all the other things has been invented because the people needed scripting languages.

So I stopped too right after the sentence :)
I see open issues as a pretty good signal that people are using the software and people care about its development, but maybe the number of contributors is too small. In these cases, I might even open the PR myself. Issues without replies though is probably the worst signal you can send as a maintainer. Closing issues without replying and letting a stale bot passively aggressively close issues is probably tied, but it’s usually hidden away.
I found one with Aquantia chip: Sonnet Solo10G SFP+.
The problem is when speculation is a (large) part of you compensation. You might not do what's right in your work.

The same is true for the real-estate market: When a corner of the market (eg. apartments in the city) outperforms the rest of the market, you might stop doing what's right for you and start speculating (being in the process of looking for a place to live, I can see several people who lost significant amounts after having bought in 06/07 and sole 10 years later - hopefully for them, they bought the right place to live and did not care about the losses).
> For many of us it irrelevant if there is duopoly in the ad space because we don't use Facebook and we use ad-blockers. But in the payment space VISA/MC charge high fees which are passed onto all consumers.

Products that you buy have their marketing priced in. Even if you don't see the adds you are still paying for them.
+1 for Raycast Floating Notes. Looking forward to their version 2.0 which will support tabbing and markdown. Should make it even better.
'Tis a lovely quote... though I believe our memory is less like an attic and more like the eponymous house in Mark Z. Danielewski "House of Leaves".

It is not a fixed size, but it grows and shrinks, and you might find it still houses long lost or useless memories, while somehow being too full to store the name of the person you just introduced yourself to.

Except if you happen to have used multiple camera apps. Closing those deliberately can avoid some unintentional behaviours, particularly if one of the apps is specifically selecting a single camera and the other is the built in camera app.

I suspect the same applies for certain connected devices.
Why create new games for a proprietary platform that users would have to hack instead of just writing it for PC? Homebrew like this is about the challenge or about making existing hardware more useful, porting emulators is an effective way to do that.
Not a slave.

They couldn't be sold. They had rights. In general the classic school hierarchy of emperor, vassals, valvassori (dunno in english), valvassini (also don't know in english), serfs has been debunked.
i had different experiences with music, partly due to the time frame, but i share your perspective.

however i don't think spotify helps with discovery for me any longer. it did play a major role until last couple years, even when my tastes changed drastically. now it is hard to find something new that is closer to what i like and is not pushed by the artists trying to promote their work. even using shuffle on a large playlist results in same set of tracks playing every day.

i think these sorts of sentiments are shared by the others here. from price perspective, i actually started spending on music with spotify premium. i still feel that it is worth the money after entering into a much better economic condition.
This is my biggest gripe with this approach as well as HTMX.

Avoiding delays for what should be purely client-side actions is a non-negotiable to me.
You figure out a way to block agricultural runoff at it's source without bankrupting the ag industry or quadrupling food prices let us know.

Notes on Landis+Gyr Power Meters
the level of curation and diversity was second to none. i recall that a popular album had regional vinyl rips, which was mind boggling for me.
IIRC it's still being slowly implemented, as slowly as things are made mandatory - because any telecoms that can make money by forwarding fraudster calls to other telecoms don't want to support it.
We would need to know more about the demographic of said people.

These shares probably end up in pension funds. So in the end it is probably going to be primary school teachers from Minnesota that pays Silicon Valley based software developers.

Unless, however, they continue to create value for the pension funds. For this we will have to wait another 15 years to know.

With cheap drones appearing to be critical to the future of warfare, is there a chance that the US will develop a domestic drone industry that rivals China's, or has that ship sailed?
Yeah, I guess I was alluding to the idea that the disagreements between the governments are not based on the actual concerns of the people. Tho it’s hard to tell at what level the vague nationalistic ideas of “we deserve to rule X land” and “they’re brainwashed” can be described as actual concerns, much less more openly racist and xenophobic ones.

It's a rabbit hole, but try googling "anti-debugging" (you may want to include "ptrace" or not). It's only if you are curious about it more in general, if you are wondering about this specific protector (secneo?), then that won't help you much, sadly.
You know... we've been doing something very similar 20 years ago for a stats dashboard web app - reloading only DIVs that need with new content server-generated. We didn't even bother to recreate the DOM, but directly innerHTML = content loaded.

Perl on the back-end and some very tiny JS on the front-end. Do I need to tell U that this worked as absolute charm and was blazing fast. The only considerable downside was that indeed lots of traffic was going back and forth. But then 20 years later latency is much lower, traffic much cheaper, CPUs also, and I am very happy to see more and more people realize this bare-bones approach was actually a good thing to consider (the author lists the downsides).

To me such approach is much more web-native in comparison to abomination UI frameworks, that try to reinvent presentation marginalizing the browser to be nothing more than a drawing surface. But guess what - their primary goal is to save on this network latency, that is anyway going down down down down with every year.

The htmlz/htmlx approach is indeed much simpler and easy to live with in a large project, it is really sad that we put so much logic in the front-end in recent years...
