Yes, it is true, Microsoft did indeed have a Unix... But Xenix was a was a fairly obscure niche OS until SCO took it over & propelled it to greatness.

I deployed it in production in 1989 and we had no idea it had ever been an MS product. That was already forgotten.

I think they get what they can out of their beans, the blonde roast actually isn't so bad black, but it's just that their beans aren't generally suited to being drunk without some kind of fatty dairy adjacent product. You grind and prepare commodity cheap beans in the best way possible and you'll pretty much get a similar result.

Never thought about it that way, but it makes a lot of sense. It’s also true these models are not up to par with SOTA no matter what the benchmarks say
You lost me. You asked why someone would rent a bottom tier hosting solution in 2009, and I told gave you an answer as someone who was paying somewhere around that for hobby projects at right around the same time. I mean, I'm sure you're right in some sense that there were better choices, there always are.

But this wasn't a weird choice at all, unless you want to inform it with a BTC quote from 2018 or whatever.
Am I understanding correctly that:

- A metal band unveiled their album art created using generative AI.

- The band expressed satisfaction with the outcome.

- However, the author of the article criticized it, suggesting the band's approval was misplaced simply because the author personally disliked it.

Is this matter truly significant? Perhaps I'm overlooking some context, especially since I'm not deeply familiar with this music genre.
Tangentially related - wouldn't that mean that if you are an immigrant, then you are at least theoretically somewhat safe from that enumeration type of an attack?

Because if I got my SSN in my late teens, then my date of birth shouldn't mean much at all to anyone trying to use that method you describe, right?
Another (also Rust-based) cross-platform mobile app dev kit is crux [1]. I've never used it, but the core idea of "native UIs (i.e. in Kotlin + Swift) with a shared business logic core via IPC" seems like the sweet spot to my mostly untrained sensibilities.

I'm actually trying to do this on a Raspberry Pi right now to emulate a HDI. There are a lot of existing libraries that do this. I needed to do this because the native SendMessage/PostMessage ways to send keystrokes to a Windows process break down when you need to send modifier keys -- I needed to send ":" but I could only send ";". I tried endlessly to send the "shift" modifier key to no avail.

I actually considered directly writing to memory to "trick" the program to think certain keys are pressed (but this doesn't work for emulating actual typing input), or hook into functions with a dll injection and interleave fake input somehow.
No, you're allowed to fence your property if you're talking about a lot with a house on it. But if it's a piece of forest you can't. Even if you privately own it, access must be guaranteed for the public.

Oh, and you're not allowed to build any cabins either, even if you own that piece of forest.

However, I'm not certain that that's the case everywhere in Germany or only in some states.
This is huge.

It fixes one of the biggest problems with uk copyright law compared to(for example) US.

The mapping process can be done with any RGB-D cameras, we use an iPhone pro but any apple devide with AR-Kit should work. Once we have a sequence of RGB-D images with associated camera poses, we can just backproject the pixels (and any associated information, like CLIP embeddings) using the depth into voxels.

Thx i didnt know that. Was actually wondering about why 2.
Tangentially (and as an armchair/hobby economist), I've always wondered if the proper way to do a protectionist import tariff would be to collect the import duties and instead of just putting it into the general fund - either:

1.) Return the money to the country of origin via a blank check.

2.) Use the money to fund NGOs which help importers like Nike, etc. audit their foreign contract manufacturers for US level environmental regulations and labor regulations. This would reduce foreign countries from enabling arbitrage via lax regulation.

3.) Distribute the money equally to all tax paying US citizens via tax rebate or something.

I think the issue with globalization is that CEOs of multinationals are seen as the primary beneficiaries of environmental/labor arbitrage.

I very much want a stabilized platform vehicle that I can send point-to-point with a payload on it.

So, a gyro-stabilized platform like a segway that I can send back and forth from point A to point B on a not-terrible-but-rough (walking path) route.

I have tried to stay abreast of the options in the past and have never seen anything that matches this ... does anyone know if there is anything new that matches this use-case ?

(the use-case is a tray of drinks and hors d'oeuvres that needs to go from one part of a property to another without spilling ... needs to be minimally all-terrain)
Global warming is more about the "greenhouse effect" (certain gases like CO2 helping to trap in infrared energy) than it is about individual sources of infrared energy.
And isn't it interesting how you're parroting the $2.2 billion amount, which was simply an estimate or guess (or propaganda) of how much that could balloon to; unless you have an updated source that's not speculation from 2018?

And how much of the responsibility should IBM hold for this failure?

Also, I wonder, do you know who in the government actually executed on the policy - even if it a bill was passed by the Conservatives? Was it unelected and unionized government workers who are tasked with it, and was it them who are more responsible or the politicians more responsible? Do you know where I can find that breakdown or are arguments going to stay fairly shallow rather than going deep to investigate where responsibility actually lies, rather than you seeming to try whataboutism that simply reinforces the "lesser of two evils" dichotomy that we've been forced to vote for.

From the Facebook post linked in the article:

> Are we so caught up in the past that that we do not embrace technology? Is recording with tape better than digital daws. Is taking a polaroid picture better than the newest tech phone? It's still about the music and lyrics and that's REAL!!!

That seems to me to be a false equivalence: Whether you use tape vs. a DAW, a Polaroid vs a phone, you're still putting in effort. I wonder what AI they used, and what their prompt was, and how much time they spent on it.

All that being said, reviewers are gonna review. An established group will be reviewed in the context of their previous works, and that includes the album cover.

A UPS is really just a car battery and a voltage regulator. Actually the cheaper APC models have no voltage regulator which is why you should avoid them. It's obsolete technology. Modern regulated power adapters are enough just use a strip with a surge protector. If you really need something to protect your gear get a voltage regulator. But if the power drops frequently then maybe you do need a UPS idk. If you really do then the APC enterprise units. But I'd avoid if at all possible

Planning is already well taken care of by established techniques ranging from graph search, SAT-solvers, OR, Prolog, etc. The point usually is optimization over multiple feasible alternatives, which I have a hard time seeing transformers being up to. I see the role of LLM techniques more in translating natural language descriptions to executable programs - but then Prolog is already very close, it being designed for classic NLP after all.
The Innovator's Dilemma over and over again.
(Un)fortunately every Sora video has the OpenAI watermark in the bottom right.
The issue with Attention essentially is that it is used to relate all token of the input sequence with each other. The need to do that somehow makes sense no matter how much one understands about the internals of a transformer. The naive way to do that boils down to matrix multiplications, and a lot more people understand the performance issues implied by them.
When I came back from the ER I got sick again. The UPS only had arrived a couple of days before

Ideally, that would be the default state, and you'd request un unlock when you need to borrow money.
Not sure how much detail you need but generally there exist implicit and explicit integrators for numerically solving (integrating) ODE. The implicit ones, like the one used here, tend to be more stable. The ideas behind SSM come from control theory ideas that used integrators with stability guarantees so that the rest of the neural network can focus on other aspects of the problem.
Clearly the Radcliffe wave is leftover vibrational energy from a space-time knot formed when now long extinct aliens exited the galaxy in a dark energy fueled artificially generated wormhole. Clearly.
Land ownership is an arbitrary right created by the government. It's not a natural right, because natural property rights start from the idea that the fruits of your labor are yours. But because the land was already there before humans, it's not a fruit of anyone's labor. You can have natural rights over the land you are actively using, but you will eventually lose those rights if you stop using the land.

And because land ownership is a right created by the government, the government can define the terms and change them.
For something like focal search, it doesn't even need admissibility, you just apply it as a second selection heuristic among the choices your admissable heuristic returns as 'top k' choices.
As someone who is not from the USA, I think I missed the prerogative tone here, using the book definition of "populism" which is rather neutral:

> a political approach that strives to appeal to ordinary people who feel that their concerns are disregarded by established elite groups. [...] the quality of appealing to or being aimed at ordinary people. (via Google)

In which case, yeah, sounds like an obvious title. Ordinary people dislike globalization.

But I think your read (and your take) are right. It's in the first line. This paper does seem meant to be read assuming "populism" means the manipulation of the masses, and with little regard to wether or not these masses are correct in their concerns.

> Recording on tape and recording digitally require different skill sets that are equally difficult to master. Taking a photo with a digital camera and a Polaroid do as well. Creating AI art and actually honing your craft are not the same things. Not even close.

Yes they are. Very close. To get the art your want in a deliberate fashion with AI requires honing a skillset. Saying it doesn't is akin to saying that pointing a camera at any random direction and pushing a button is equatable to taking deliberate photographs. Using an iPhone is much easier than keeping track of lenses, knowing what film to use, etc. Prompt engineering is analogous to the skillset difference.

In this particular instance, I think all evidence would suggest that "western" security companies have been extremely successful in developing exploits for iOS, Android, and plenty of other platforms. So it would make a lot of sense that China would develop additional tools and talents outside of gov orgs and gov owned companies.

Genuine question, what does the US have to gain from making up this narrative? That's not always a useful question - obviously there are instances where something is true & someone also stands to gain. But in this case, cyber is the threat. If the NSA hacks you, does it really matter if they bought the exploit instead of developing it themselves?
