I keep thinking about something similar. Also hardware. Also for my grandparents.

My grandma is 95. Her vision is bad. Even using the phone (I'm talking old school landline) is getting hit and miss, because she can't see the buttons.

Years ago, I set her up with an Echo Show. That works well enough for her to say "Call Leo". But Alexa is dumb. Sometimes, she'll mishear something and start playing music. Or start a monthly subscription... :)

So what I'd like:

- box
- screen
- far-field mic array
- AI backend

You could do a number of things with it:

- manage a grocery shopping list (AI will notice duplicates and other oddities and ask)
- communicate with the outside world (initiate calls, send emails and faxes, including to local businesses)
- optional human oversight and/or permission settings (preventing the AI, say, from ordering groceries for more than $50 a week without a family member approving the order)

Something like your "subtitle mode" could also work:

"Listen to what is currently being spoken in the room (including the TV), and display it on the screen".

My grandma has her TV running all day. So maybe one could ditch the screen and make it a "set top box". Add an IR port to it, so it can control also the TV itself. Something like that might work.
Lock picking tools are legal and they're primarily used for illegal activities.

The same can be said for gun use (not ownership).

How much something is used for illegal activities should have no baring on whether it is allowed in a free country.
Yup, this is exactly my point. It's not the serverless architecture, something you set up on Hetzner yourself with OpenFaaS (https://github.com/openfaas/faas), that is to blame here but the insane pricing scheme for traffic.
That is, Yuzu in itself doesn't do anything. You need Nintendo's IP to run Yuzu, so Nintendo should blame those who steal their IP.

Now, the real question is: did Yuzu's creator have illegal access to Nintendo's IP to write Yuzu ?
non pro versions of the M chip only support one external monitor... which is just silly
too bad it is open source, ain't it?
"Someone" pointed that out about the same time as your comment here.

Also, it is by coincidence as seen in the COMMAND.COM disassembly which would be the correct answer.
You didn't say “can”, you said “actually pretty easy”.

To the closest Measuring Broadband America's measurement servers [1].

(They're currently "hosted by StackPath and were located in ten cities (often with multiple locations within each city) across the United States near a point of interconnection between the ISP’s network and the network on which the measurement server resides.")

It's all to sell Nvidia hardware in the end of course.
Htmx: A new old way to build the web
I looked up the specific numbers and found this quote:

“Based on the preceding calculations, a family of five would require an estimated 200 ha of habitat from which to gather animal and plant food. This estimate is based on an ideal ecosystem, one containing those wild plants and animals that are most suitable for human consumption. Researchers report that, in fact, modern-day hunter-gatherers need much more than 40 ha per person. For instance, Clark and Haswell (1970) estimate that at least 150 ha of favorable habitat per person is needed to secure an adequate food supply. In a moderately favorable habitat, these scientists estimate that 250 ha per person would be required. These estimates are four to six times greater than those in the model presented earlier. In marginal environments, such as the cold northwestern Canadian region, each person needs about 14,000 ha to harvest about 912,500 kcal of food energy per year (Clark and Haswell, 1970).” [David Pimentel and Marcia H. Pimentel, ‘Food, Energy, and Society’, third edition, (Boca Raton, FL: CRC Press, 2008), p. 45-46.]

Just based on that alone I'd say that even the place you linked to is still too crowded from the "monkey brain" perspective. In hunter-gatherer societies, the only places that matched the density of our rural environments are extremely productive areas such as Pacific Northwest (temperate rainforest + elk + salmon). But even then the entire population of Coast Salish prior to European arrival is currently estimated to be under 15,000 people, living in several dozen longhouse villages spread across what's basically most of Western Washington and much of British Columbia today.
One thing that struck me about TNG was how many plots were about Data and whether he should be considered alive, and what rights he should have, and absolutely no thought was given to the AIs in the holodeck.
From the article linked above:

> To that, I can only respond that, in a properly configured shell like the one that comes by default with GoboLinux, typing /Programs takes the exact same number of keystrokes as typing /usr: slash, lowercase p, Tab.
I haven't found any frameworks that offer it. The best explanation of an implementation that can take a stream of unformatted text and map over it to determine when a topic changes is explained in this video: https://youtu.be/8OJC21T2SL4?t=1932

They compute embeddings using a window of three sentences and then compute distance to find the largest deltas to break up the text into "topics". It is computationally expensive.
Small nitpick, but the UK shares its SLBMs with the US.
Linus Torvalds is looking for a more modern GUI editor (2023)
There must be some incredibly interesting internal documents in Tim Cook's email archive discussing the business, product and financial strategy of this whole project.

We can only hope that one day it leaks or we get some glimpse on how this vision evolved. It would be particularly interesting to see the inception and early days of this project and if it ever overlapped with the Jobs era.
Same with all those zombie scenarios. Quite conveniently, each and every film or series starts with patient zero, skips the part where the whole world order, society and whatnot collapses, and starts with our heros trying to survive in a post-apocalyptic world.

World War Z, the book that is, is the only instance that tried to explain how the collapse occured. I'd expect it to take a lot more than 5 minutes, a lot of my optimism around pandemic control died during Covid, but the full collapse that always happens as soon as zombies show up just won't happen.
Never had any issues. We have 100+ build jobs running on Jenkins and most of them have some Testcontainer tests. These never collide if implemented correctly (randomised ports with check for e.g.) even when run in parallel.
On my machine running several docker dev environments it was also never an issue.
Can you specify what issues you had? Also I am pretty sure the library does not work as you describe. Isn't it using the Docker Engine API? I could be mistaken, never checked the source code.

Edit: Just checked the documentation. According to the docs it is using the Docker API.
So fireing everyone working with spam issues and shutting down automated spam detection tools to save a few bucks has nothing to do with this?
All the latest AI products, as great as they are (and I love them), make me overall less optimistic over the "older" AI products which we were promised one day, because now I see how fickle and very wrong they can be.

Today I am the least confident that I will ever sit in a self driving car with my family. So this news doesn't come as a big surprise to me.
Wow, this sounds like something with a lot of potential.

It also makes me think the book Algebra-Driven Design[1]. That coupled with what you're describing sounds like a powerful combination.

It’s likely both that and all of the horrible product decisions are having an impact.

I’m sure elevating replies with a “blue check” didn’t help either, since now bot replies can easily sail to the top of the list.

How many integer 2s go in to 7?

They can if software is licensed under MIT or a similar "permissive" licence. In this case the software was correctly licensed under GPL, though.
> The measurement servers used by the MBA program were hosted by StackPath and were located in ten cities (often with multiple locations within each city) across the United States near a point of interconnection between the ISP’s network and the network on which the measurement server resides.

I imagine StackPath is thrilled that this is the FCC's metric.
If you try to program just about anything non-trivial in sed(1), LUTs are the way to go.
Valid point, when considering lifetime emissions (with rolling stock and tracks) CO2e for trains roughly doubles. But then you should also consider emissions for making and maintaining roads, charging stations (including their infrastructure),...
It doesn't matter if it interfaces via CLI or not. Testcontainers tends to make things work but also introduces difficulty in resolution. You seem to have missed the point.
Thank you! Yeah, I also had a big grin on my face, hearing Lex and Elon suddenly talk in another language. :)

Consistency isn't perfect yet, as we're building the voice from scratch basically for each utterance. One the one hand, you want that, because the utterance might be more upbeat, or lower pitch, than the speaker's "average" voice. On the other hand, it sometimes introduces variance that makes the listener's brain go, "Uh.... is that another person speaking now?". If I had to dub 200 videos of a single YouTube channel, I would be able to fine-tune the voices of the main characters, and reserve the ad-hoc cloning for guest characters.

Schlock Mercenary https://www.schlockmercenary.com/ dealt with this particular theme quite thoroughly. One of the protagonists invents a "Teraport", and promptly a "Teraport Area Denial" is invented to protect against it. Recommended read, though the archive is huge.
I used to live in the city too and was in the same situation. All my friends drank and thats how we hung out.

I ended up moving across country and while I lost some friends, it really helped me get out of that mindset.

In hindsight I realize the city offered alot of non-drinking opportunities, I just didn't consider them before.

You might have access to for example:

* indoors wall climbing

* geocaching adventures

* computer clubs

* watch-a-movie circles

* board gaming groups

Or many other social situations where you could meet other friends that you'd find fun or interesting that's actually not focused around drinking.
I also had a lumbar puncture as a child (Viral Meningitis was diagnosed by it) and mine was like the author's, lying on my side in a foetal position.

I don't remember it being painful, but in retrospect, my head felt like it wanted to explore from the Meningitis, so it could have just been the more "pressing" pain.

I do remember being told I could try and walk, but when I did, I felt a horrendous pain in my back, so didn't do that again.

If by "smallest pieces of the system" you mean something like individual classes then you are definitely testing implementation details.

Whenever you change a method's parameters in one of those internal classes you'll have unit tests breaking, even though you're just refactoring code.

Unit testing at the smallest piece level calcifies the codebase by making refactors much more costly.
I'm interested to hear what you would do instead! I'm using Testcontainers in a very basic scenario: A web app with a PostgreSQL database. There are different database backends available (like Sqlite) but I use PostreSQL-specific features.

Currently, in my integration testing project, I use Testcontainers to spin up a PostgreSQL database in Docker and then use that for testing. I can control the database lifecycle from my test code. It works perfectly, both on my local PC and in the CI pipeline. To date it also did not interfere or conflict with other Docker containers I have running locally (like the development database).

From what I gather, that is exactly the use case for Testcontainers. How would you solve this instead? I'm on Windows by the way, the CI pipeline is on Linux.
Thank you for your comment. I enjoyed reading it.

For me -- I like simplicity.

A simple computer.
A simple phone.
A simple car.

etc.

I am not against technology "that just works" and you dont need to do much... but it comes at a cost, being your freedom (lack of configurations)

I am not here to point fingers and anyone. I just like to have control over my technology, or it is relatively easy to repair (or pretty cheap if I pay someone else with more experience to do it)

For laptops and desktops, I do not have much negatives about using GNU/Linux. Some people mentions the bad experiences they have but that is not the case for me. I say this for many years, now.

For phone... yes, I have an Android. Before that, I had a Firefox phone for 5 years... and I honestly enjoyed it. A bit clunky at times but worked really well. I do keep an eye of OpenSource-esque phones from time to time. I remember the openmoko phone which must have been 10 years ago, now. Today I know about Librem or Pinephones. I would like to move over to one of these babies... but maybe leave it another 5 years.

As for my Car, I like Polo, Corsa, Fiesta type Cars. I will leave it there.
It's pretty clear they made a conscious choice to keep Siri simple (as frustrating as that is). But this does not reveal anything about their capabilities with LLM based systems.
They did put Moriarity in his own holo reality. Quite cruel after all. Not sure ehat happened to him, I didn't watch the last season of Picard.

Also, the holodeck: Not only can the ship computers run multiple, basically self-aware General AI characters in parallel, it can also extent space beyond the confines of the decks physical dimensions. Pretty amazing tech, no idea why they don't use it to build the interior of all their ships, after all it also has superior environmental controls.
I prefer subs over dubbing for foreign languages, but I cannot stand closed captions (for people who can’t hear at all) because having your eye drawn to the bottom of the screen for a description of something I don’t need to know about is horrible!
Fair trade.
Some counter-points:

1) The failures themselves aren't all too complex (relatively speaking), and by the time the design made it to a flight vehicle it has been vetted for all immediately knowable risks. The rest you discover during flight. And even then the actual nature of the problems rarely (if at all) are esoteric or present breakthrough scientific discoveries.

2) Failure in rocket launches are catastrophic leaving behind very little evidence. There could be a limit to how much you can learn. But...

3) ...SpaceX is a business serving customers, and if a pivot means going away from a complex cloud of possible failures (known and discovered) to more robust, more deterministic, more reliable, you should do it.

4) At what level do you stop and go "this is fundamental enough"?
I have read that in Switzerland, everything is either mandatory or prohibited.
The link to the "competitor" is front and center on the site, so I imagine what you're really trying to say is that this is NOT a competitor for the following reasons: <missing>.

That's a pretty good DALL-E header image.
Qdrant does this as well, with 100% accuracy. But it's not on small categories, but rather on small segments.

You could put different categories in different shards though, resulting in the same effect.

You can also specify exact=true to do the same on any size, but this can get rather slow when your collection grows.

Disclaimer: I'm part of Qdrant.
I bought a wool jumper from Next about 7 years ago for probably around £30, and it's lasted me until now, and will probably last another 7 years.

As a native German, I also resent it when Google/Amazon/whoever tries to force a translation on me when I prefer the original language. So I wouldn't want to live in a world where everything would be dubbed into German for me. Not even if they used my tool :)

Regarding YouTube:

AFAIK, YouTube allows you to add multi-lingual voice tracks to your videos. Then, if the viewer has a preferred language set, the video will play in that language. Else in the language inferred by his browser/OS. But the user can also switch back to the original language, or any other language, right in the player.
To be blunt, because of the price. I’m running the whole pipeline of my toy project for much less than $5 per hour. If the voice cloning is the long pole in the tent, I’d just consider dropping it.

Moreover, it’s a cultural custom. I’m from Poland and here the voice-over narrator is supposed to be generic and bland, so your brain learns to tune him out and take the emotional cues from the original voice.
There’s obviously a limit to how much detail you can fit into a headline but just to be clear this is using pattern matching across various sensors to develop a list of things matching a particular signature which is then sent to a human for review long before anyone even thinks about pulling and triggers.

If anyone is looking for a serious dive into this topic I’d highly recommend starting here https://youtu.be/1-0L5Wv86fQ?
At least in the EU, where Klarna originates and is headquartered, using AI as part of an automated decision making process would be illegal under GDPR.

'Payday loan companies' is quite a loaded term, generally used for companies with predatorially high interest rates (three-plus figure APRs). Klarna on the other hand is relatively competitive with a normal credit card, with rates of 20-30% APR typical.

I've never used Klarna myself, but I can see myself using it as part of a plan to buy expensive goods (furniture, white goods, etc.), and I don't think that there's any particular problem with it (from a consumer perspective) that makes it worse than a normal credit card.

Whether their business can support as many write-offs as it sounds like they make is ultimately not something I can comment on.

Where I work we’ve set up OpenTelemetry SDK in the applications to expose traces, logs and metrics.

Grafana agent as OTEL collector on the application hosts, Grafana Tempo as backend for traces, Loki for logs and Prometheus for Metrics.

The cool thing about Tempo it generates metrics for ingested spans and their labels (spanmetrics) so this allows us to explore “unknown unknowns” as the author calls it in a very cost efficient way.
Per whose interpretation of the law? The DMA isn’t going to give nerds the utopia they think that they’re going to get.
Not surprising. Making electric cars, or any vehicles for that matter, is extremely difficult at scale. What Tesla has accomplished is no less than a miracle. Elon Musk aside.

No, it looks like you are visualizing it perfectly well!
> you're more likely to get quality out of "actual" brands than own-brands of stores such as H&M (which follow the fast-fashion trend too)

Fashion brands aren't build for quality. They're built for aesthetic. If given a trade-off between ruggedness and something more frivolous and daring, a fashion brand should pick the latter. That's how they differentiate.
> Each test gets a fresh, clean instance of the browser, without having to worry about variations in plugins or required updates.

Except where everyone is saying that's too slow and instead they have a long-lived instance which they manually teardown each time. That's even what the examples do (some, at least, I didn't check them all).

If you've already bought into the container world then why not embrace a few more. For everyone else, not sure there's much point in extra complexity (they call it simplicity) or bloat.
With the federation transportes, as depicted throughout the series, the impact is limited. Easy to block, unreliable. They are used so, all the time, for boarding actions.
Sounds like an unaligned incentives issue. Or maybe after a certain scale observing becomes cheaper than running?
Overall clothes made in Portugal are very good quality, and they aren't all that expensive for what they are. [0][1] A good heuristic is to go for boring looks.

I recently got into sewing, turns out it's a very good way to learn how to recognise good quality clothes. It's also a very good way to recycle old adult clothes into brand new clothes for children. Highly recommend to any nerd wanting to do some manual labour away for the computer.

That's the sort of thing I mean: the project can continue without its creator. It's not fun that whatever happened happened, but it seems a more solid choice from the point of view of continuity. Flask also has a very solid model here with Pallets.
Well, I'm also shamefully unoptimized at the moment.

YouTube added auto-captions years ago. Long before there was Whisper, let alone things like Whisper.cpp. I imagine what I'm doing now is computationally no more expensive than what they did back then.
It's a little odd that there's a wasm build that's seemingly only available for download from the official sources, rather than being playable on the web.

Fortunately D has `static foreach`, is what I thought yesterday after reading the article.

One aspect I note is that finally the point is not having variadics or not (assuming an expression can represent a type then you can use tuples instead, which is what styx-lang does). The point is that one must have a way to *use* them.

The "consume" idiom, while working, is not great as it lead to template instances explosion. Not great but not so terrible as finally `static foreach` can only work with a kind of monomorphization too.

Difference Between GetElementByID and QuerySelector
Fortran is old – 1958 onwards. It has precedence here, though at what point it separated the two behaviours into mod and modulo functions I don’t know.

Edit: From what I can tell, standardised in Fortran 90, presumably older than that.
