> At the time Apple had tried once before with the Rockr, and it really sucked.

Steve Jobs said that Motorola were calling the shots which is why Apple decided to do its own phone.
"It's so rapid that it's somewhat unintuitive that we don't freeze to death every night."

We would, if there would be no thick atmosphere and greenhouse effect.

Think of it as blankets, you can feel the difference in a winter night with clouds, vs. a clear sky.
Using a single speaker makes sense when you're paying for human voice talents. But if you're using a computer to generate the voice, why not generate a voice that sounds like the original speaker? Much more fun to hear Elon speak Chinese :)
"Our teams have been working around the clock to address these issues... And we’ll review what happened and make sure we fix it at scale."

It's not like this is some mission-critical, large share of revenue generating application that is central to the business. It's a future gamble. Experimentation is good. It was a gaffe, and a bad one that needs to be addressed, but the "red team" and "structural changes" crap just seems like busybodies chasing the latest fad. If they poured this attention and time into improving Google search, I think few would argue it would be a good thing, albeit less worthy of a headline.
Climate change is bad, but even at its absolute worst and where our political reactions to it are as awful as possible it is "1-2 billion people try to move; many, possibly even most, killed during attempt" bad, not "we go extinct" bad.
Amazon aggregator Thrasio files for bankruptcy
There's a street market here (Spain) every weekend and one of the vendors has taken up selling what I presume are Shein returns. It's just tables full of Shein bags with clothes in them.
It’s an architecture failing. Setting maximums is critical. If you choose a platform that doesn’t support that more fool you. It’s implicitly easier to have a ‘circuit breaker’ in a traditional environment, but still warrants consideration. Load test for success and failure.

Maybe it was an exaggeration, but in the 1980's I heard that Hong Kong when factory owners kept full accounting for A/C costs but wages got lumped under "other expenses"?
This is a highly welcomed feature however, I don’t think AWS has it.
Why wouldn't you be able to use IMAP over the gmail api? IMAP returns the text and headers of all your emails, which is what you'd want the LLM to ingest anyway.
Not a bit of open code while I'm 100% sure they use some that require it. If you"re using AI + Your data without insight on how it's used you're a fool. 2 cents
I'm actually surprised it took so long considering they were seeking crowdfunding while openly advertising the piracy use case and raking in thousands of dollars a month (now $30,000 - wow). Patreon rewards can be construed as profit-seeking; Patreon even charges sales tax if you donate under a reward tier (they don't if you go through the no-reward custom donation flow). It's cool to hate on Nintendo for being overly litigious these days, and they deserve that reputation, but with projects where piracy is clearly the main goal, and a significant amount of money is involved, I find it hard to sympathize. Even if it's technically legal, it strikes me as parasitic behavior.
thou, lack of money/resources is a recipe for unhappiness in most societies
Bandwidth charging models from hosts are crazy. They don’t model their upstream costs in any way. Transit providers charge based on 95th% and ports scale based on highest burst not volume passed. I’ve always hated it.
But if you're surprised by that, you should also be surprised that the surface of the earth isn't just heat-blasted stone as far as the eye can see.

Unmediated temperatures occur on the moon, and they swing from around 90 K at night to around 380 K during the day. Temperatures on the surface of the earth just aren't closely related to insolation. We've got a biosphere - and an atmosphere - for that.
Alas! Didn't get the memo? We're In the era where AI tools are all "software as a service," and you must pay for individual inferences from the model. How could they charge for inferences if they gave you the model to download?
Despite knowing about its nickname… I found myself picturing a paraphrasing of the classic physicist’s “spherical cow in a vacuum”…

“Steerable brick in an atmosphere”… or the slightly more accurate “orientable brick in an atmospheric reentry regime”…
I don’t think NixOS was actually usable back then either. It was still more an idea and few people had heard of it.
Thanks for the reminder! Banggood. What a weird choice of name for an e-shop. :)
Thank you for pointing that out. I will update the communication on the website so it is better understood.

It is only recent that I have started talking about Abun. There are alot of things that I'd like the product to have before boasting about it's features.
If you want to checkout everything Abun has to offer, I'd be happy to upgrade you to a paid plan. I'd appreciate if you could provide some constructive criticism on it.
It's difficult though.

A lot of societies up through the ages depicted themselves unrealistically, and our depiction of past societies can be rather questionable too. Cast a glance at https://www.moviestillsdb.com/movies/ben-hur-i52618 if you want.

Those pictures of nazis were clearly wrong, but describing something as wrong is easier than saying what's right. Should an AI match a society's prejudiced descriptions of itself (making the nazis blond), our later images, often also prejudiced, or the current best (yet fuzzy) historical notions of what reality was like?
The Grad Student Who Never Said "No" (2016)
This is a blog post by then-professor & consumer behavior and marketing researcher Brian Wansink

He was the executive director of the USDA's Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion as well as directing the Cornell Food and Brand Lab

Following this blog post in which he nonchalantly describes p-hacking null-results until papers come out, his methods caught the attention of statisticians, and, not long after, Cornell, who proceeded to conduct a formal investigation in which they determined that he had committed scientific misconduct and removed him from all teaching and research positions.
I swear I'm getting Deja Vu right now, I coulda sworn I've seen this thread before. There's gonna be a guy commenting that "you don't need it" somebody else saying "but I want it!" And a few trying to figure out the economics of it and whether or not it makes any sense.

Personally I'd love to have as much VRAM as possible (and as high a bandwidth as is possible too) to mess around with simulations in- but that's definitely a pro workload.

I'd love to see like a flagship card have a stupid amounts of VRAM spec option - like an RTX 4090 with 32-48gb of VRAM just to see what happens with it on the market.
Summary: there have been warmer summers in Europe lately, much warmer in Northern Europe and Iceland. That seems to explain additional ice melt.

Nothing surprising, but nice detailed wind patterns and one more brick in our understanding of climate change.

I agree with your points, but wanted to point out that the most recent iMac lineup is a bit fun and whimsy! It comes in seven different colors, and while metal it does give off a little bit of that iMac G3 feeling.

Jony Ive left Apple in 2019, but I think we're still in his era of design philosophy, will be interesting to see where Apple evolves in terms of hardware design over the next 10 to 20 years.

nah ja... this is a tad sad.

I was really wanting to drive a car that would unapolagetically don't care about any preconcieved ideas of what a car is and what it should have. The car's most well desigend engine would know where to park and ...

it's tiresome, $AAPL is going after the wrong horse. I'm sure they could pull making the ideal smartiCarAppleOS (tm c R), but as a v1 it would be a tremendous risk to embark in actual full car manufacturing. I mean, given the size of their warchest they could maybe afford a $TSLA or 3, or a smaller car maker and try tp Sink Diffrent (tm) upendding market dynamics of distribution, maintenance usw.

I'm going all over the place to boil down the following, Apple should likely double down on ar/vr/?R and leave something that is up to 2 ton metal heavy to the existing car industry.
How do you define 'unethical conversation'? I have a hard time visualizing such a thing. Sounds like unpopular ideas or ideas you disagree with.
> Many have wondered what society would be like if we still had close species cousins living among us. Certainly our own approach to geopolitics would be quite different to what it is today

It would not be great. If you consider the track record human being have of being horrible to those who look very slightly different or have a slightly different culture, how would we treat beings who were far more different?

It would be even worse if they were are mental inferiors. Imagine a world in which scientific racism was proven true rather than debunked. They would be perfect slaves or research subjects.
There is an extremely thin, but important line between the exploitation of your labour force and using litteral forced labour provided by the government. Both things are despicable, yet they are not really the same.
Note the top comment by “ark” - there’s really no perfect solution here.

In the floating-point case, you have to choose between negative remainders or potentially inexact results. And you definitely want integer division to work the same as float division.
Thanks for breaking it down, especially for people outside America.
What are Elixir macros for, anyway?
I'm generating translated subtitles internally, before generating the voice-over. Also, generating those subtitles is way, way cheaper. If someone just wants the subtitles, I could offer them.

Bigger question is: What device are your parents using, and what content sources? Because I'd need to be able to download the audio, and inject the subtitles. With a regular TV, I wouldn't know how to do that.
What!?!? So pouring billions into a project for alternative (to fossil fuel vehicles) transportation for the last decade is getting trumped by Generative AI development? Make this make sense? The legal ramifications of incorrect responses from generative AI will cost more than finishing something that has far more reaching implications in the long term than what they will develop with such a late start in the other industry. Please inform me of my ignorance and I will take it in stride.
I haven't used Heroku in ages, but I remember it being pretty easy.

Just wondering how do you "Kick off deploy of ECS" services? The solution I have currently is using:

aws ecs update-service --cluster={ CLUSTER_NAME } --service={ SERVICE_NAME } --no-cli-pager --force-new-deployment

aws ecs wait services-stable --cluster={ CLUSTER_NAME } --service={ SERVICE_NAME }

From my CI, but this doesn't feel like the best way to do it
They are a few on the road in Switzerland. I see one once a week or so.
Guessing from personal experience, I would not be surprised if 70 % of the domain knowledge is learned in the process of writing and modeling.

Whenever I encounter a tricky subject I'm having a hard time learning, I start writing an article explaining it to someone else. It really forces me to confront the gaps of my knowledge because I can see so clearly that "Wait, I can't explain what happens between these two steps here. What am I missing?"

Would this explain why I started seeing so many ads from HBM manufacturers with no product an individual like me can purchase? (I'm not even close to hardware, professionally)

Not naming the company but seems like HBM manufacturers might be going all-in to benefit from Nvidia's stock surge.
yeah, and with copilot more less tested code will be produced.

Natural language processing has come full circle and just reinvented Ctrl+F.

I had to double check that a regular '90s search function was actually the thing being advertised here, and sure enough, there is a gif demonstrating exactly that.
Enemy! :)

But seriously, at least nix has become quite popular and most issues have solutions via search, SO or in github issues - it used to be much worse.

The DMCA specifically has language about being entitled to circumvent a technological measure" for "the purpose of enabling interoperability of an independently created computer program". This language has never been tested in court but there is a compelling argument to be made.

The Copyright Office has become increasingly friendly to these types of arguments as well, though they have imposed some limitations on games hardware. The next set of rules/guidance they put out won't be until october (They do it every 3 years).

Yuzu isn't sold* as a product and unless Nintendo can convince the court that the mere act of emulation (or obtaining the console keys required to make Yuzu function in the first place) violate their copyright, then I don't see it personally. You can run code that isn't owned by Nintendo on a Switch. Maybe there is a reasonableness argument that people aren't using Yuzu to play Switch homebrew, but there is a homebrew scene around the Switch.
When working remotely, latency matters because it's so awkward in video meetings when you're 1/4 second behind everyone else.

But something else that matters (possibly not so much in the US, but definitely in many other countries) is mini internet 'brown outs', where there's a sudden internet drop out for just a few seconds. I don't know what statistic would be good for measuring that. But when it happens during a meeting it's quite annoying and noticeable. In some parts of the world they seem to occur about once an hour, although YMMV.
I'd also want to see a robust privacy policy on something that's asking for not just my personal information but also why my relationship broke down

On the contrary I can't imagine when and why anybody would want truncation. That's just a side effect of the used algorithm and not something that actually makes much (any?) sense.

If it's to the nearest IXP the ISP could create it's own IXP and measure latency to that. So it should be to not just any IXP, but a well-connected one
No doubt about that. Also my fiber optic connection latency increases a bit under load.
Disagreed. I'm guessing that 99.99% of Switch emulator users do not own the cartridges. They're stealing, which is not only morally wrong, but legally wrong.

Nintendo has the right to protect their IP and they have the right to make money.

Furthermore, I disagree in general that it's morally and legally correct to emulate something you purchased.
Do you think there is a place for great art, content, generated by AI, artist using AI to generate and produce even greater art than what they normally produce ?
I am all for dang clarifying. =)

The same thing has been observed with threads with few to no comments and only in one direction.

Tell us your personal views dear mods.
So you are going to compare “every person you know” to the fact that hardly any company or app developer is exclusively creating an iOS app and telling Android users just use the web since PWA support is so good?
> Yes, if it wasn’t obvious I apologize. Many main characters have plot armor in a way that makes for lazy writing, bad characterization, lowers stakes in the plot in favor of protagonists, and breaks immersion, which is what I was alluding to in response to this part of your comment, and the thread broadly:

>> But compare e.g. her meeting with Glory in season 5, where the two of them get into a fistfight, and after trading a few punches Glory realizes that a human would have been dead by now.

You have yet to describe what the connection is between your comment and mine. Plot armor describes people doing things they can't do, and not suffering the consequences because that would be a boring story.

What's the connection to people doing things that require the supernatural powers they are explicitly characterized as having?
A friend just got an M3 Max with 128GB (V)RAM and he's extremely happy with it (AI workloads wise). That could be an option if you can run your simulations on macOS.
Those labels go into effect this year, when the "majority of providers must display at the point of sale clear, easy-to-understand, and accurate information about the cost and performance of broadband services by April 10, 2024; providers with 100,000 or fewer subscriber lines must do so by October 10, 2024. Those points of sale include online and in-store."
The title is a little ambiguous, but it's accurate if read: "You shouldn't use exercise to achieve weight loss". If you read it as: "You shouldn't exercise if you're trying to lose weight", then it's a little ridiculous, sure. But reading the article will show that that's not the intended interpretation, since it makes it clear that exercise is good for all sorts of reasons and will probably help with weight loss to some minor degree too. But it shouldn't be the main intervention, nothing beats just eating the right amount.

Interestingly, they don't discuss the most important exercise when losing weight - resistance training is super important to make sure you lose fat rather than muscle, which they don't discuss at all. But that's not what most people think of when they think about exercising for weight loss.

I'd argue that you should reverse your stance.

It's illegal to pirate games. Being able to emulate things you purchased is a convenient scapegoat for people to pirate games.
1. Sell product without invasive feature
2. Wait for people to buy many of said product

'exponential doubling time' is the effect that devalues money by 3/4th's within a average 'work life' effectively putting a lower limit on profit in order to actually grow wealth
> All electronics fail, and all systems reliant on electronics fail. Not all worm gears fail.

This is kind of a weird take: I was reading about the Therac 25 (radiation therapy machine that killed a few people because of software bugs), and one of the reasons why they were so confident it was going to work is that software isn't vulnerable to two classes of 'bugs' that analog devices suffer from: wear, and manufacturing defects.

I mean, they turned out to be wrong, but they have a point: physical devices are subject to entire categories of bugs that software can be reliably proofed against. All worm screws will ultimately fail, while software can (if done correctly) run forever. All manufactured devices are unique and have unique defects. Software can be reproduced without any defects whatsoever.
>I handwash it and hang dry it, as I do all my clothes

For those curious. Hang drying alone is a much smaller part of effort and gets you a lot closer to having your clothes not wear out prematurely.
That's what I don't understand about observability services.

They complicate things so much that it's sometimes more expensive to observe than to RUN the infra being observed.

I’m specifically looking for insight into how transformers/ embeddings are evolving classical planning techniques.

If we make headway here then we are likely to have autonomous agents that are able to determine an outcome of their conversation vs the markovian way they act today!
The supernatural powers are the plot armor which prevent OP characters from suffering the consequences.
In https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dracula_(2020_TV_series) the writers decided to basically write religion out of the Dracula story, and made it that he is afraid of sunlight, and the only reason he cowers from the big bronze cross is because it is reflecting sunlight at him.
If the test fails consistently (as it should) it is usually just a question of using a debugger and stepping through some suspect sections of the code to find the issue.

Compared to the amount of time saved by not rewriting unit tests every time you refactor stuff, it's a great trade-off.
Thank you, this feels helpful.

Though I don't think I missed a part of the article, I feel more like the author did ;)

What I still don't get is what the difference between high and low viscosity looks like on a particle level. I don't understand why he introduced the collision between two molecules and then never explained that.. :)
Python does follow the convention, but what I am wondering now is why did FORTRAN break it ?
imo it wasn't caused by firing the employees, it's making it possible to earn money with engagements that made X plagued with bots,

They do. But pretending that somehow, a terrorist organisation would allow a bunch of woke leftists into their compounds to film is also equally hilarious.

Not to mention all their so called "reporting" on poor neighbourhoods in LA/Chicago, specifically designed to portray black kids as quasi-animals, but I digress. Good riddance to vice.
