This is the rather more interesting part of the article; not just claiming some magic task AI can do, but explaining how it does it, and what it bases its decisions on. This means that in theory, someone can validate whether this approach is actually true, or if (as others have pointed out) the AI is just reading something else off those images that we're not aware of.

> Until recently, a model like the one Menon’s team employed would help researchers sort brains into different groups but wouldn’t provide information about how the sorting happened. Today, however, researchers have access to a tool called “explainable AI,” which can sift through vast amounts of data to explain how a model’s decisions are made.

> Using explainable AI, Menon and his team identified the brain networks that were most important to the model’s judgment of whether a brain scan came from a man or a woman. They found the model was most often looking to the default mode network, striatum, and the limbic network to make the call.
Super impressive and I like how he's honest about how the differentiation here was timing. He was a first mover (if not the first mover) in this space and that allowed him to win in a space where differentiating on technology is almost impossible.
no, because there's a lot the CPU does that is neither decoding nor execution. There's also caches, register renaming, branch prediction, inter core communication for atomics, and a dozen other things.

You've seen insurance claims denied because someone didn't have an unverified video that allegedly showed a theft taking place, even with a police report in hand? (Seriously: How would an insurer know that you hadn't arranged to have your brother-in-law pretend to steal your bike for the camera?)
Or maybe it is because there have been 29,000 deaths and all aid has been cut off along with cement poured in their plumbing so they have no fresh water.

Those are not the same, my common friend.
That's certainly possible.

If an infallible oracle told you that was the case and you had two candidates who interviewed otherwise equally in every regard, would you hire the college graduate or the candidate who got railroaded into attending a bit of college and then dropped out?

I think the tie goes to the college graduate for over half of the hiring managers, and I don't think that's crazy at all.
You’re full of great hacks. That one I may actually use. Looking forward to that article.
Sorry but I don’t want to read any article that finds equivalence between LLMOps engineering (perfectly reasonable, albeit overly specific) and Prompt Engineering (a real thing, but not something that would ever require studying engineering to be good at).
No, in fact you're quite wrong there. It's a hotly debated topic with sufficient numbers, and respectability of protagonists, on the side that questions dyslexia for it to be wholly inaccurate to refer to it as a fringe belief. Of course there is real variation in people's abilities to read and perform other cognitive tasks. But the idea that a clearly diagnosable, discrete medical condition can be identified has substantial opposition within the community of experts in the relevant subjects.

It's fairly obvious that terms such as "ADHD" and "dyslexia" are just referring to regions within a multidimensional space of cognitive abilities and psychological characteristics, and that it's misleading for the medical/psychological community to encourage people to think that they "have" dyslexia or "have" ADHD, almost as if they're talking about "having" a malarial infection or a broken leg.

I'm not sure you realize all that Agile gave you that you described: kanban, a direction and goal, self-organized, iterative builds, I assume version control, daily builds possible, in front of stakeholders, adjust, repeat, necessary documentation. Probably in DevOpsy environments built regularly.

Before and outside Agile we had months of requirements gathering, nominally with stakeholders, months of break-down and design (by a different set of individuals, barely seen by stakeholders), and then devs would march to the Gantt chart. We were lucky that "make" would be successful in our own component most days, integration test with other major components were on an ad-hoc basis. Version control? Backups, if lucky. Somewhere near the end of that Gantt chart we would start "testing" by hand-delivering hand-built components to the test systems. After testing we would build for delivery. What? That step wasn't on the plan? Oops. Hand-deliver to production. Oh, and don't ever mess around on those systems because no one knows how they were built or updated.

That most teams these days do pervasive version control, iterative build, regular delivery, and system builds is simply a massive transformation of the industry. The Lean Methodology folks were on the right track but they never delivered usable, actionable practices until the Agilists started documenting them.

I sometimes wonder at what point will compute density in DataCenter outgrows our compute needs. Example If you have servers that is 5 - 7 years old. You could have swap them with Zen 5c EPYC and reduce your server count by 70%+.
I've always found those statistics to be a bit odd, given how popular other languages are, especially the likes of Python.

Not only that, but since .NET Core and the new versions of .NET running just fine on Linux distros, I'd expect their usage to go up, not down.

Curious. Actually, their disclaimer page seems to suggest that setups with a decoupled SPA/API might not be detected correctly: https://w3techs.com/disclaimer
why would you your decision on anecodoes of disgruntled users instead though? people who aren't having problems aren't going to storm over to TMC forums and yell THINGS ARE FINE! how many model Y's have been sold, and how many people are posting? my thoughts here aren't about Tesla, but about the broader online complaints system. people who aren't even thinking about it (food from a restaurant, service from a auto shop, whatever) just aren't motivated to go online and say things are fine because they're busy having lives outside of yelling how fine their experience is, so we get this distorted view of the situation because of that.
When Google slashed payouts on Google Ads (then known as Adsense), blog networks went the route of "affilliate link infested product review posts" and haven't looked back.

The web has lost so much personality since the 2000s. Every site covers the same topics with the same shallow posts, and everyone ignores that the only thing keeping the lights on are those "Best product for X" posts.
This is great, found a bunch of leads. Surprisingly accurate for the 3 languages I tried if the search is general enough. Quite limited when trying to find the website of a specific company.

Some feedback:
-The industry filter should be case insensitive
- perhaps an option to filter to 1 main url per company, had multiple searches where the same company occupies the top 2 results
- the filter list "grows" when you do a search, then add new words to the search bar.

AI research is old. There's an (apocryphal?) 30 year old tale about using computer vision to detect tanks.

All the photos of tanks had clouds in the sky. And few to none of the counter examples had clouds. So darpa paid for an expensive cloud detector.

Without more information about the study, I'm guessing there's a 'M' or 'F' stamped on the image somewhere.

Thank you! I'm planning on doing all of CA starting with my city
I used to live in a college town while in my late 30s. I went to the drug store to pick up some things around when kids were moving into the dorms. The place was packed with kids picking up photos they wanted prints of. I thought photo labs where becoming a thing of the past, and would soon be removed, if they hadn’t been already, but no. Turned out they wanted the photos to decorate their rooms. As someone who has never printed a digital photo, this concept never crossed my mind.
This is the same thinking behind affirmative action and DEI in hiring initiatives in the US. Positive discrimination is necessary to balance out negative discrimination, or so the thinking goes.

In American academic circles in particular, "equality" is out and "equity" is in.
I spent some time doing testing in a similar facility doing things with gamma irradiation and I'm amazed that they all look like they were constructed by crazy people in their garage. Like really janky mechanisms for moving samples and containing radiation, really ugly facilities, stuff laying around everywhere. They all look like the lab of a mad scientist.
You can write any kind of code in any language, but going against the grain of that language tends to go badly. Even if your style works for you, if it's not what the ecosystem expects you'll have trouble using libraries, you'll have trouble onboarding new hires, ....

If you know a book’s worth reading, going ahead and reading it works well. But for a lot of books/talks there’s competition for time - eg my bookshelf has 20 half read books (this is after triaging out the ones that aren’t worthy of my time) - any tooling that can help better determine where to invest tens or hundreds or hours of my time is a win.

Regarding accuracy, I think we’re at a tipping point where ease of use and accuracy is starting to make it worth the effort. For example Bard seems to know about youtube videos (just a couple of months ago you’d have to download it -> audio to text -> feed into a LLM). So the combination of greater accuracy and much easier to use make it worth considering.

If you could get enough gold from asteroids back to Earth to be able to secret it away and sell it without anyone noticing samples going missing, it would imply that so much is coming back that the gold market would tank, anyway.

Everything we've brought back from the moon without a human hand carrying it there - which is nearby, in a predictable orbit, and is moderately easy to get to compared to everything else - weighs under five pounds. That's less than what a gallon of milk weighs.

Asteroid samples brought back to earth so far weigh considerably less.
I can't speak about what the person you replied to intended, but there are a few things that come to mind.

One is Unicode grapheme clusters (UAX29/the segmentation rules specifically) which browsers are expected to follow. Those rules specify things like how ctrl-right should work and, since the Unicode specifications have multiple versions and will likely have more in the future, I can understand someone who wants the program they use for text-editing to have a more stable definition of a "word" which is probably simpler to work with as it doesn't need to deal with cursor behaviour of different languages/emojis.

The second thing I thought of is to do with differences on different operating systems. Windows and macOS have slightly different text-editing behaviours which I can imagine might be annoying.

For example, if you have the text "asdf fdsa qwerty" and press ctrl-left/ctrl-right a few times, you'll see that macOS will move your text caret to start/end of the word while Windows will jump over spaces to skip to the next word.

I don't think the second point defines other editors as being "more ad hoc" and the first point is just there because VS Code uses Electron and probably inherits the browser's Unicode-compliant behaviour (I have no idea what Intellij and other IDEs do) but I would likely have an easier time remembering the simpler and more platform-consistent definition that Vim has and appreciating that about it for such a specialised tool.

The non-heterosexual making up nearly half of respondents, and more than double the number of women/perceived-women seems quite high. Is Rust just unusually popular in LGBT+ circles? Why?

I've A/B tested this with webinars and the tools I've tried tend to miss some really valuable/interesting stuff even when I give it the full transcript.

I think you could do a smaller htmx by dropping a lot of the event and config stuff & adopting modern tools that produce smaller javascript. Clever use of JavaScript features could probably knock it down as well, but i'm anti-clever in most cases. As it stands, htmx is ~17ms to download over slow 4G and should be cached after the first download, so, while I wish I could make it smaller, every time I've tried to it ends up not moving the needle too much.

We are going to get a chance to remove all the IE-related syntax in 2.x which should help a bit.
I did the best test possible. I transcoded the Flac version to AAC VBR, load both inside audacity, invert one of them and play the mix. I also made sure to align the samples. The result was some high frequency sound from the instruments, and the vocals sounded like the artist was whispering.

I don't keep lossless just for listening, but storage is cheap, and I like the fact that I can switch transcoding profiles as I want to.
Parts of it were good, but it mostly felt like he was reading through a slideshow created by the Google marketing team.

The transformer module is currently dominating ML, and is widely used in text, vision, audio, and video models. It was introduced in 2017 and shows no real signs of being displaced. It has no convolutions.

That's not a positive. Spring Boot is impossible to use for anything except an unmaintainable abomination, since the whole thing runs on undocumented magic.
Why did it have to be hacked to do this?
Most analyses focus on ambiguity/inconsistency of ,/and with other ways to read the same sentence, but I've found it interesting to focus merely on the grammar of serial lists alone:

b and c // binary operator

a and b and c // associativity

a, b and c // abbreviation of the first 'and'

a, b, and c // thus, the ", and" is arguably redundant

Starting with 'and' as a binary conjunction, the above have a sort of notational consistency in that the Oxford comma would be redundant.

a, b, c // comma-separated list

a, b, and c // the additional 'and' functioning as a kind of terminator/sentinel symbol, it is intentionally redundant.

But starting with ',' to denote a proper sequence, the 'and' becomes redundant.

It's not that redundancy is bad (redundancy can improve robustness against errors). But the above shows that even ignoring what a/b/c are children or cats or partial clauses, there are some interesting language questions to wonder about. Now I'm imagining flipping the lists around:

a, and b, c, d, ...
a and b, c, d, ...

I find this curious..
> the Gleam aspect of this is inessential, TypeScript is quite good

TypeScript can be quite productive but I find its type system lacking. Specifically the use of structural typing/lack of nominal typing and lack of sum types. I find these extremely useful when writing reliable software, which is why Gleam appeals to me.
This is basically this auto focus system I was introduced to. I use Google Sheets so I can have a few columns. I can print it out if needed, and easily accessible on my phone and desktop.

https://htmx.org/essays/when-to-use-hypermedia/

Things that involve a lot of events that need to be handled quickly are not a good fit for hypermedia. Sometimes you can have a rich island inside hypermedia though (e.g. a rich text editor w/ autocomplete, etc) so long at is triggers events and offers form participation. Two common examples I give are google maps and google sheets. Those would be difficult to do well in htmx. (But the settings pages for them might be a good use case for it)

If instead of desktop popularity, there were a need to run servers (non-RPi):

- Reliability, long life, low security patch, delay and maximum compatibility for enterprisey things with a faint hope of rip-replacing with RHEL for $upport (BYO RPMs of new shit): CentOS 9 Stream*

- (Same as above but it doesn't have to be Linux): FreeBSD or SmartOS

- Replace VMware: Oxide (hw+sw) or Triton Datacenter/SmartOS

- Cheap, reliable, maximum package choices: Debian

- Beginner Linux skills requiring guides from the interwebs (reliability and security updates optional): Ubuntu LTS

- Live in an empty room without furniture: Alpine

- Maximum tinkerability in a test environment without user support: Arch or NixOS

* Alma and Rocky while having a longer lifecycle promise, remain vulnerable for much longer by shipping security fixes slowly and have EL compatibility gotchas. Their engineering is also slower and less resourced.

There’s savings to be had over time on Steam sales too, where even AAA titles eventually become dirt cheap. With new games now costing $70, it doesn’t take long for the price difference between a Deck and a Portal (or other similar streaming device) to pay for itself.

If all I wanted was a PS Portal-like experience I think I’d get one of those USB-C phone game controller things to put my smartphone in, which would be cheaper (albeit with a smaller screen), be able to stream from more than just a PS5, and would get better every time I upgrade my phone. At $200, without hacks the PS Portal is a bit too much of a one-trick pony.
I’ve always been very skeptical of people making claims on annualized returns. I’ve known far too many people who have one good week and annualized it, as if that week will be every week.
