AWS Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) is the name for the virtual network(s) hosted cloud resources occupy. Most AWS services require a VPC and you get a default VPC when you set up an AWS account. As far as I know (after using AWS for many years) a VPC does not cost anything, though some features (public IPv4 addresses, multi-region VPCs, etc.) may have additional charges.

Find me a single example of a UI in HDR for the UI components, not for photos/videos.

You've probably been looking at 10-bit HDR content on an 8-bit display panel anyway (true 10-bit displays don't exist in mobile yet, for example). 8-bits works fine with a bit of dithering
With our current, but especially decades ago capabilities, it's (was) similar to Russell's teapot problem.
"Do not look into laser beam with remaining eye"
Not that I'm aware of, though its definitely not my area.

I can't think of another example of a nonprofit that was so financially viable that it converted to for-profit though, usually a nonprofit just closes down.
My rules for printers:

1) Buy a printer if you need one, it's way cheaper than renting one.

2) Get a laser printer if you don't need color. Cheap to buy, very cheap to run. Toner is water resistant, ink is not. Might be important if you print mailing labels. Color lasers exist but color fidelity isn't quite there yet. Sufficient for business needs, not for printing photographs.

3) Don't buy an inkjet printer if you don't use it often as the print head clogs up and getting it going again uses up an astounding amount of ink.

4) If you do use it often get one that has refillable ink bottles instead of cartridges.

5) Don't buy anything from HP. This rule is not specific about printers but a general guideline.
There's also humans who can see ultraviolet light—under normal conditions, not just specialized ones set up in laser labs!

Is this an argument that the series is the same as the books? "Any changes that are necessary are not really changes" or such? I didn't argue that the changes are unnnecessary, or even bad. Just that they exist, and they are many. Sure sounds like you agree with me.
That’s not an explanation of the problem though, those are just characteristics of a good sauna.

I don’t see the problem defined well in the article, but it can mostly be surmised from the intro:

> Malcolm has analyzed the Finnish 1992 sauna ventilation study profile, applied his knowledge and experience as a 45 year engineer to test and better understand sauna ventilation in his own backyard sauna.

They wanted to test and understand the sauna ventilation in his backyard sauna and used a 1992 research paper as a reference. I can only assume this venture started because they were dissatisfied with the ventilation in their backyard sauna.

How to Picture A.I. – A New Perspective
Where are you getting this "information"?
Yes, the new radar ux was a disaster. Forced me to find another source.
It would be incredibly dark. The sun would just be a bright star out there.

There’s also some interesting speculation that planet nine could be a primordial black hole, in which case it could only be located by its indirect effects. It likely wouldn’t radiate much at all, making it basically invisible.
That's really impressive. I've been meaning to spend more time with this technology and implement it in a sample project to improve my understanding.

Would you tell potential employers that you found them this way? I feel like it'd be worth mentioning if the position in question was IT-related.
Dropping PVQ was a hard choice. We did an initial integration into libaom, but due to substantial differences from the way that Daala was designed, the results were not outstanding [1]. Subsequent changes to the codebase made PVQ regress significantly from there, for reasons that were not entirely clear. When we sat down and detailed all of the work necessary for it to have a chance of being adopted, we concluded we would need to put the whole team on it for the entire remainder of the project. These were not straightforward engineering tasks, but open problems with no known solutions. Additional changes by other experiments getting adopted could have complicated the picture further. So we would have had to drop everything else, and the risk that something would not work out and PVQ would still not have gotten in was very high.

The primary benefit of PVQ is the side-information-free activity masking. That is the sort of thing that cannot be judged via PSNR and requires careful subjective testing with human viewers. Not something you want to be rushing at the last minute. After gauging the rest of AOM's enthusiasm for the work, we decided instead to improve the existing segmentation coding to make it easier for encoders to do visual tuning after standardization. That was a much simpler task with much less risk, and it was adopted relatively easily. I still think it was the right call.

> C’s type system is unsound

Along with every other programming language under the sun. A complete type system is not exactly an easy feat – especially if you want it to be usable by people.

> We cope with this by referring to some code as “not type safe”.

Value constraints are an application of types, so yes, if C/Go had value constraints then violation of those constraints would leave it to not be type safe. But they don't have value constraints. Insofar as what the types can constrain, the safety is preserved.

It seems all you are saying is that C (and Go) do not have very advanced type systems. But that shocks nobody. Especially in the case of Go, that was an explicit design decision sung by its creators. You'd have to be living under a rock to not know that.

Was there something useful you were trying to add?

Sorry, but at this point it’s you who have to provide a compelling explanation of how the way iOS runs PWAs constitutes a use of Safari, or of web browsing.

Just to be clear, I’m absolutely in favor of having a free choice of PWA engines, I just don’t see this being implied by the DMA and the present gatekeeper designations. The question really is how a PWA runtime environment differs in principle from the regular iOS app runtime environment, which the DMA also doesn’t mandate to be replaceable.

Hi! I’m James, a 15+ year solutions architect and full stack engineer. I have primarily been working on high throughput systems for the likes of NVIDIA, TNW, and Mollie.
Until recently I was the CTO and cofounder of a startup (Affic).
I’m super interested in roles that allow me to collaborate on large impact architectural decisions and even lead the project through from start to finish. But I’m also an engineer (from infra to backend, my front end is rusty right now but I’m learning Vue) and building things is fun :)
I’m available immediately.

> I don't know how aware Waymo cars are of their surroundings.

Waymo cars are extremely, extremely aware of their surroundings. They have a category, distance, speed, and distribution of possible future paths for all cars, pedestrians, and bicyclists within sight over 360 degrees.

> Why don't they have a (or something like a) 360 degree string of LEDs (for example on the roof) that lights up a few in the direction of human obstacles if they're close enough?

I don't think it's so obvious this helps. What is the threshold for how far away something is before it's indicated on the ring? If I'm standing just outside that distance, how will I know it's because of distance rather than because I haven't been seen? If the distance is set long, how will I know it sees me and not something behind me?

The natural way to get around these problems is for the car to "point out" everything it see using, e.g., fake eyes. But now you have a car covered in eyes surveilling the neighborhood, and people don't like that either.
Honestly I’ve never worked anywhere that made deployment easier for application teams than with Kubernetes. The alternative to infrastructure details leaking everywhere has historically been a tedious coordination process with an Ops team whose incentive is to say “no” as often as possible. The deployment frequency drops precipitously and consequently the size of changes goes up significantly so when something inevitably breaks you have to sift through tons of changes to find the culprit and you have to coordinate even more to fix the release. And since this one ops team is supporting every team at the company, “coordination” hurts. I’m sure it doesn’t have to be that way—that there are some all-star ops teams who can make a more traditional VM-based infrastructure run as smooth as the median SRE team can build out a Kubernetes platform, but I’ve never seen it.

It’s also worth noting that sometimes the details leak because app teams want them to leak—they want to build some feature that requires some particular infrastructure solution (e.g., we want our app to run some background task in response to requests, and we don’t want to do it in the VM lest the autoscaler—which is background-task-agnostic—kill it while the background task is running).

>With 8 billion people, most having multiple mutations, most mutations exist.

Not saying that this isn't the case, but the conclusion doesn't derive from those premises alone though.

The fact that number of people > possible mutations, or even that people have more than one each, is not enough. There could be a trillion people and still the total sum of mutations seen be a tiny subset of the 9 billion possible mutations.

The missing element is about the distribution of the mutations, whether all are equally likely or at least or are possible to arrive at, and so on. E.g. the premises could very well hold, but some compounding factor could push towards a subset of them appearing, etc.

Here's some of my pet-peeves and experiences from the webapp, the webapp wrapping desktop app, and the iPhone app. Maybe they'll qualify for awful usability, maybe they won't.

There's been an issue open for Push-to-talk in element for 6 years. Insane.

The voice and video calls/conferences aren't very good interface-wise. You could defer to this Jitsi being bad though. Screen-sharing is just broken so your alternative is to use OBS and its Virtual Camera, which means audio-sharing doesn't work. You won't actually see the video until you find the quality option somewhere to slide it all the way up.

The whole screen-sharing or conference thing remaining visible, after everyone has disconnected, until the "starter" closes it? I'm not sure.

Element X is mobile only (correct me if I'm wrong) so it's irrelevant to many users.

You can't reorder your "favourites", only sort by Activity or A-Z (and showing recent first). "Favourites" being non-American English was something I noticed right now which doesn't matter but is worth noting for i18n.

The lines after a `>quote` also get swallowed up into a quote block which I'm not a fan of and requires you to have an empty line after. Github does something similar afair.

The inexplicable Unable to decrypt messages that happen sometimes. Can likely be deferred as user-error.

Trying to sync or transfer keys across devices and not knowing if it worked so you just sit there and wait to see if the Unable to decrypt messages resolve.

>"Use the Desktop app to search encrypted messages" (from the webapp)

And finally, one of the most annoying things: shit scrollback for messages. It loves to jump to the very bottom/latest messages.

>folks who refuse to use a system which doesn’t have total parity with every feature Discord has”, or who are annoyed at having to run more than one chat app; Discord is where my friends are.

Well, they are on Discord. And Discord has PTT(LOL!!!) and working screen-sharing (very important!). And Element has a bunch of these random things that make it annoying to use in comparison that makes everyone call it shit and then only use it for text chat and maybe Mumble for voice, when not using Discord of course.

One more bug: some combination of right-clicking on the Element tray icon causes it to be covered by Windows' task-bar right-click menu.
> Surely GPT-4 would fail some exams. But when it comes to GPT-4's exam performance, only the positive results are reported.

The default is failing the exams. I'd be no less impressed if they came right out and said "This is a short list of the only exams it passes" simply because (IMO) it's remarkable that a machine could pass any of those exams in the first place. Just a couple years ago, it would have been outlandish for a machine to even have a double digit score (at best!).

If we've already found ourselves in a position where passing grades on some exams that qualify people for their careers is unremarkable, I'll honestly be a bit disappointed. 99th percentile on the GRE Verbal would make an NLP researcher from 2010 have a damn aneurysm; if we're now saying that's "not reasoning" then we're surely moving the goalposts for what that means.

That's not what happens when you're an employee. You exchange a guaranteed salary, sick leave, holiday, etc, for your time and expertise. "Capturing value" isn't part of the agreement, any more than a third party toilet cleaner, who also is a vital member of an organisation, doesn't get to "capture" the value that's derived from their work.

Agree, iota is terrible. I think I encountered exactly one time where iota was a good fit for what I wanted to do (an internal representation of some kind, so whether the value changes in the future was irrelevant), but even then it was just needlessly opaque compared to just assigning values.
