"This is, indeed, the American version of the Chinese Cultural Revolution.”

Given all the evidence available, I find your dismissive and gaslighting attitude highly offensive and disgusting. What's happening to America is deadly serious, and the consequences could be, without any hyperbole, the loss of freedom, peace, and prosperity for the entire world, and the brutal death of millions.
Resin printers are great. They are cheap, the resolution / feature size for the cost of the system and materials is amazing. You do need to deal with quite a bit of mess.

The 3D printing in the article is pretty different though. The “how, where, what, and when” of material or “ink” deposition is all square in the crosshairs of bleeding edge 3D printing, especially in biotech.

Building stuff up in roughly the same way layer by layer is definitely something that will see a lot of improvements in efficiency and expansion, but there are so many variables to control and experiment with in this space that will need significantly different kinds of machines to enable.
It really just depends if you have a feral (sub)population. Some countries don't, others do.
To be fair, we wouldn't have domesticated dogs if they weren't smart enough to work for us as hunting/herding assistants.
This is a cool idea. Going to use this in the neighborhood I'm building a house in where we're all under covenant/private management of everything (even for the roads—no HOA, etc).
There are numerous symbols to represent pitch on a staff, numerous other symbols that can be attached to the pitch symbols that represent changes in duration, dynamics, various techniques and more. These symbols can be stacked above and below the pitch symbols, to the sides of the symbols and more. There are other symbols that can span multiple pitch symbols, groups of symbols and more. There are more symbols that control the tempo of the playback of the score, the number of times sections of the score should be repeated and other symbols that will move the current playback location of the score to some other place. The placement of all of these symbols have "rules" but these rules are really suggestions and composers will always want to adjust and bend these rules. If a system implements strict rules, that system will come under criticism as being inflexible. There seems to always an exception to every rule of music notation.

I have been working on music notation software for almost forty years and have seen programmers come and go with their attempts to "solve" the problem of music notation. It is a very difficult problem. Once upon a time SCORE [1] was considered the best of the best on music engraving software. I worked with Leland Smith to update the program to more platforms. Sadly, the SCORE source code is not available and the rights of the source code are unclear after Leland's passing. Many music publishing companies continued to maintain systems using SCORE for quite a while.

The notation engine of my iOS music notation program Komp [2] is available here: https://github.com/SemitoneGene/notation. This code is most certainly not the best or most complete, but it is easy to read and comprehend if you want to see the complexity involved. MuseScore has also been mentioned in other posts.

If I were to do a commercial engraving of a music score, I would use Dorico. It is being developed by who I would consider the most insightful and understanding group of developers who have a real desire to make the best music engraving program.

LilyPond produces very good output but offers its own series of challenges to use. MuseScore is a nice program, but it has a long way to go to meet the demands of the high professional composition and engraving market.

Get a Tile. I have one attached to my keys, and saying "hey Alexa, find my keys" has been really nice. We also have one taped to our remote, which turned out to be excellent since our couch constantly eats it. I just wish it lit up, but sound-only is fine.

It would be really cool if the robot could just know where your keys are by attaching some kind of tile-type thing to it. If it already has a scan of your home, theoretically it could show a photo. But I have no idea if it’s possible to pinpoint an object via rfid.
All I’m really saying is that new technology is often only available to the wealthy (companies, governments and rich Texans) but eventually things get cheaper and more widely available. It was hard to get access to IBM System/360 levels of computation in 1964 and in 2024 most of us have far more capabilities in the inexpensive machines in our pockets.

I think these new AIs will follow similar curves. Hard to get access to and expensive to use at first. Over time they will get more powerful and less expensive. GPT4 is already less than $1 / day.
This kind of task is a great fit for a parsing expression grammar. Unfortunately most implementations are awkward to use and suboptimal in execution, but if you can find one which is neither of these things (they exist) it's ideal.
I have no idea what Toyota or adobe are up to and why they’re funding research with a name like this, but I fucking love it. It’s science, let’s get some whimsy back in here!!

More materially:

Optimized with a small set of labeled images, our model-agnostic approach adapts to various generative architectures, including Diffusion models, GANs, and Autoregressive models.

Am I correct in understanding that this is purely a visuospatial tool, and the examples aren’t just visual by coincidence? Like, there’s no way to stretch this to text models? Very new to this interpretability approach, very impressive.
Just because it’s “common practice” doesn’t mean it’s not openly racist. The solution is simple: capitalize both or don’t capitalize either. MLK would agree, I’m sure.
I'm sure it's a dead end but you'd think this would be an interesting avenue of investigation. Wouldn't think transaction be pretty obvious in the blockchain? Did the owner of those 10,000 btc ever spend them? If so, it'd be interesting to see if any of the wallets in the spend chain are something public, like someone asking for donations or something.
Tech companies are doing that. It's legacy health companies that have been trying to sell glucose monitoring watches (Masimo, etc.). Apple is not marketing their device as that because their tech is not yet ready.

As usual you can count on modern tech companies to be better for everyone. Good for Apple.
Holy crap! That's hilarious.

That error comes out of Unreal Engine proper, not Oodle, and is meant to be shown in cases when compressed shader data is corrupted in the game data files on disk in a way that hasn't been caught by package validation. Which is to say, it's not exactly common.

Oodle itself has some diagnostics hooked up to logs but none of that is user-facing. All the user-facing stuff needs to get handed off multiple times to get from low-level IO plumbing to somewhere that even knows how to display a user-facing error message to begin with.

The most common cause for that error message was, and continues to be (except on the relatively small number of affected machines), that compressed shader data on disk is corrupted. If and when we have a handle as to what actually causes the problem and a minimally-invasive fix (as opposed to the list of several different anecdotal "what if you try X?" that we got from Intel HW lab folks), we'll try to detect affected machines and point them to a website with instructions. For now, it's just a random error message that happens to frequently show up on machines encountering this issue, and all that would change if we changed the error message was that we'd confuse end users more and have to list two different error messages on that page instead of one.
Of course, what God is humble? Their people struggle on their $30k/yr incomes living in small homes on the outskirts which cost the majority of their income so that they can preserve their cities for our divine visitations. Like a poor craftsman makes a sculpture for the king, they preserve their cities for us so that we may be entertained, because they cannot live in them.
People who live near orangutans say that they can talk but don't do it in front of humans because they don't want to be made to work.
What? No, the actual addresses as-loaded at run-time are randomized, that's the point of ASLR, and those addresses are secret-like because we don't want an attacker to be able to craft an exploit that works against a running instance of the victim code -- we want whatever exploit they have that needs loaded addresses to fail because it doesn't know those address. ASLR itself is not secret, but the run-time addresses are.

In order to be able to randomize addresses of loaded libraries at run-time... the shared objects need to be built as position independent code, so you can't extract the actual addresses "from the contents of the binary". I suspect you're referring to the fact that in ELF the executable itself is not subject to ASLR unless it's built as a PIE.
I really loved the atmosphere of the first series of Space 1999.

It had the fantastic true sci fi sense of strange mystery and wonder.

The core premise of the show was clunky which takes off some immersion but the stories were good.

Something really strange happened after the first season where they changed the music and it really threw the whole thing out… it’s hard to appreciate how much the music counts in establishing atmosphere until it’s wrong, and the later music in Space 1999 was really wrong.
Best place to hide is something that looks like a service account everyone is afraid to touch for fear of what will break if disabled. Well played!
It is an Smart-UPS 2200 manufactured 10/16/01

The batteries are definitely worth more than the unit is at this point.

A backup generator for me is not an option but this is mostly just to keep internet and a couple machines going in the event of a power failure. One day maybe the used lithium ion one will pop up and I will swap it out.
Last year we received an email with title

> ACTION REQUIRED - New certificate authority for slack-edge.com

Capitalised letters telling you MUST do sth (check; plus "as soon as possible" in the body). Bad/incosistent email layout (check). Unknown urls (slack-edge.com, slackhq.com) that resemble the services's standard url slack.com (check). A bunch of links obfuscated behind "slackhq" redirects, check. Even a link that reads "slack.com" and points to that slackhq redirect thing. The majority thought it was scam, of course. I only suspected it may not have been scam because a scammer would have done a better job explaining what one had to actually do (and in the end there was nothing we needed to do anyway).
It all seems to depend on what you are doing. The more niche and technical the task, the less the AI can help. If you are just generating crud and points for a common web language and framework, it can be an 80% boost.

I think the real problem with this is that people aren't differentiating these different types of work when they give these numbers.
> Seems a way over engineered way to activate the display and is pretty much in place for future use.

This is a very generous reading. A more parsimonious one is that they are actively doing facial recognition to get age and gender, and are arguing this is legal because they don't store the faces after acting on them, as the quoted marketing material suggests.

(I would expect laws banning unconsented facial recognition to ban it regardless of whether the faces end up in a database afterwards.)

Just wait until you have to deal with someone else's credit information showing up in your report because of vaguely-similar names. It's very difficult to deal with without paying for a proxy to deal with it for you.
I was just researching that — theoretically, you could run any substance through the printer, right? But some substances will cause problems. Software is an issue too, but hopefully there’s a way to hijack whatever Preform does.

As for mess, I got a Form Wash and Form Cure, so odor is the only issue. But we’re planning to stick the whole thing in a grow tent if it’s a problem. https://youtu.be/IIWEV9AM8-k?si=cKyJR0caBu8s3odo shows the full setup.
Wireless charging, face unlock, a bump-style sharing system, NFC, etc. Android did so much first, abandoned it after a year or two, only to see Apple introduce it as revolutionary.
no one is doing that, the issue is the overhyping.

When claude shannon first came out with his information theory everyone started trying to apply it to everything, discuss everything in terms of his theories.

He himself thought it was ridiculous and basically told everyone to stop it.

This is no different.

I gave multiple example on why this is false. I thought one example was enough to prove something is false, but okay.
The 2-dimensionality of information does not apply just to black holes but to any bounded space. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holographic_principle
I don't want to review this whole thing but one part in particular seems way off. [Caveat: I sorta-read the original paper shortly after it was posted, my memory is fuzzy and I am only skimming it now.]

From the blog:

> Most of the test cases created by Meta’s TestGen-LLM only covered an extra 2.5 lines. However, one test case covered 1326 lines! The value of that one test case is exponentially more valuable than most of the previous test cases and exponentially improves the value of TestGen-LLM. LLMs can vigorously “think outside the box” and the value of catching unexpected edge cases is very high here.

Of course "exponentially more valuable" should set off your BS detector. But to verify, from the paper:

> However, this result arose due to a single test case, which achieved 1,326 lines covered. This test case managed to ‘hit the jackpot’ in terms of unit test coverage for a single test case. Because TestGen-LLM is typically adding to the existing coverage, and seeking to cover corner cases, the typical expected number of lines of code covered per test case is much lower....The median number of lines of code added by a TestGen-LLM test in the test-a-thon was 2.5. This is a more realistic assessment of the expected additional line coverage from a single test generated by TestGen-LLM.

Nowhere do the authors mention "unexpected edge cases" or "thinking outside the box." They clearly present this 1,326 lines of coverage test as a fluke, e.g. maybe the test case checked one branch of a horrible switch statement, or perhaps it was even a fluke in how code coverage is counted. It is noteworthy that the authors do not seem to have looked into it any further, even in the "qualitative results" section.

Inaccurate editorializing really doesn't help anyone. The internet is too damn full of people pretending to understand things they pretended to read.

This has always happened and will continue always happening. Best not get caught up on it, just put people right when you feel you have the facts to back it up.
Hopefully we're about to see that all turn around.

At best this could be a bridge for AMD to get their act together improving there stack. At worst it will keep developers from developing native compatibility. An impressive project but it has its limitations with compatibility.
I watched some UFO recently. It was……. Errr…… interesting.

Extremely sexist and misogynistic. That sort of stuff doesn’t worry me much usually but this was hard to watch.

Ask HN: How does open source work?
If I think of a piece of software that there is a need for and I valuable to some group, do I simply start a project on GitHub and it will magically be built?

Does open source ever work that way?
The sad truth is that technology isn't much used to help people. Instead it's used to make money. E.g. there's all this amazing AI, buy my phone keyboard autocorrect has the intelligence of a slug.
Instead of silently downvoting, how about telling me why I'm wrong.

P/E is defined usually defined as `share price / earnings per share`. Market cap is `share price * number of shares`. Via simple substitution, this means P/E is equal to `market cap / earnings`.

But calling P/E `share price / earnings` is simply incorrect.
You're defining programming down to "the part of programming which beginners have trouble with, that eventually gets easy", and using this to make some tautological point which didn't need to be made.

What's the point of that?

Of course most people missed BTC. Just like most people missed ETH, AMD, META, NVDA... the list goes on.

The (former, IIRC) product manager for MuseScore (aka @tantacrul) has claimed that he thinks that MuseScore is now doing better engraving than LilyPond. He has a vested interest, obviously, but he's also a smart and conscientious human being.
You do realize most of these payment processors or even financial institutions have arbitration clauses right? And as a business, they have the legal right to refuse for any reason not disability related. Hell, they could deny a disabled person a loan based on the unlikelihood they would pay it back and then hide behind KYC/AML laws. Oh we're not denying you based on disability, it's just some flags have popped up in our system and we can't tell you why. Google doesn't have KYC/AML laws to hide behind.

The funniest part is that HSBC already revealed to criminal organizations on how to evade KYC/AML tripwires. When you outlaw freedom, only the outlaws have freedom.
I live in the bay area, but yes a main is $15-25+ and anything fancy can go to ~$50. You need to add 9-10% sales tax + 15-20% tip.

Sometimes, I find writing pseudocode easier than code. And then I ask an AI to turn it into code. Sometimes the results aren’t too bad, and just need a few tweaks for me to use it-overall I’ve saved mental effort compared to translating the pseudocode into code by hand. And if the results aren’t useful, I’ve only wasted a few seconds, and then I just have to do it manually.

Australian too, fwiw. One general way to distinguish UK from Aussie online is we (Aus) use metric for everything, (kg, KMs, cms) and UK don't (stone (?), miles, feet)

As an old 3D graphics engineer, the fact that albedo is in there is as just striking as it should be expected.

The core components of physically based rendering are position (derivable from image XY and depth), surface normal, incoming light, and at least albedo + one of a few variations on surface material properties such as specularity and roughness.

That the AI is modeling depth is pretty expected. Modeling surface normal is a nice local convolution of depth. But, modeling albedo separated from incoming light is great. I wonder if specularity is hiding in there too.
