If you believe this, then clearly you should believe that Spotify should be free after initial payment. After all, the recording artist was already paid, the mp3 exists, and the incremental cost to stream a song approaches $0.
You should check out Procreate. For me, it alone is enough reason to get an iPad.
I wish they will bring back a smaller form factor.

12" MacBook despiste its CPU flaws was the perfect size.
Yep. Took me a while to learn that "Trust and Safety" is just a placeholder for Orwellian woke political crankery.
There's a fair amount of confusion between map and territory in this article. It seems to take macroeconomic indicators like CPI, nominal wages, and real wages as fundamentals and then infer that the economy must behave a certain way because of historical relationships between them, when the reality is that the economy behaves as the economy behaves and the macroeconomic indicators only measure what's going on.

A good example is "By definition, inflation-indexed wages cannot result in a higher inflation rate. Wages indexed only to inflation will actually reduce the inflation rate, if productivity is positive, which it typically is." No - if you have an inflation-indexed wage, it will go up when inflation does, regardless of what productivity does. You can't just infer that productivity has risen because the inflation-indexed wage went up - in this specific instance, it's clear that it hasn't, because nothing has changed except the inflation index.

Inflation is best thought of as a feedback loop. Every expense is somebody else's income, so if expenses are going up across the economy, somebody is getting more money. That gives their suppliers leverage to raise prices and their customers a need to raise prices or go out of business. The rate is going to be uneven across different sectors, which is where the CPI vs. nominal vs. real wages behavior comes in. Real wage increases are nominal wages * CPI, by definition, so if most of the increase in prices is accruing to labor, real wages will be positive, while if most accrues to capital, real wages will be negative.
They should just publish technical information and let the Linux community make the software for them. All hardware companies should work like this. The results will be much better than their shitty "cost center" approach to software.
My old pro did not have a screen bright enough for sitting on a patio with it either.

It's been the opposite for us. No more waiting for VMs to get spun up and it actually enforces a consistent layer across infrastructure.

You will never regret more memory but if you want value, put that 600 into nvidia or apple stock.
Eh, there has always been an amount of bending rules or capitalizing on design gaps in racing. NASCAR and Formula 1 have always had people adding things they shouldn't, from extra long, curly fuel pipes which can hold nearly an extra gallon in NASCAR to Ferrari using a secondary oil tank to add extra power by burning oil in F1. Or their special fuel pump which moved the regulated amount of fuel during the 32 times a second a sensor was verifying flow rate, but running it at max flow rate when the sensor wasn't polling.

I don't like it anymore than you do, but it's not exactly a new issue.

Science doesn't work like that; we can't look at data/research at our current point in time and deduce its value forever. Having this information years down the line can inspire some more research ideas or contribute some groundwork to future research
I can appreciate folks coming to the defense of the demo, but the lede on what makes this special is pretty well buried to folks that aren't in this space.

If there was a blurb on the page stating that the cool bit we should be excited about isn't whether the image classification is accurate, but that there's realtime image classification running against WebGPU. That's definitely neat. However, with no context for folks clicking a random link, I don't think it's really all that off base for folks to comment on the model's functionality being comically inaccurate. At the time of writing, I had to read the bottom comment to get the understanding necessary for why this is neat.
Separate virtual consoles for work and personal? I didn't realize this was possible! I think because prior desktops of mine would always put my X session on F7 so I assumed I could only run one of them. Anyway I just tried it and it totally works just as you'd expect with the X session staying on the appropriate function key. Thanks for mentioning it, learned something new and very useful
Some C++ libraries do pretty well. In the Eigen math library you can call most functions on dense or sparse matrices, and some template magic makes it work efficiently for all combinations.

It's a shame it's so hard to write that kind of generic template code.
>When Microsoft chose to neglect the web after IE6, it didn't take that long for competition to work around it

We have different definitions of long, and perhaps very different memories of the web from the years 2001-2012[0]

almost a decade for any real traction for competing web browsers to put a dent in Microsoft, and that is after the anti-trust trial and the EU browser ballot mandate.

Don't forget, it was so entrenched that even by 2015 IE had over 1/3 of browser share, really only defeated by Google Chrome (which had the infamous "kill IE" initiative[1]) in 2013 or there about.

To put it simply, a decade of dominance is a long time.

[0]: Data supports that Internet Explorer had majority market-share up through the first half of 2012 (globally), per https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share/all/worldwid... and in North America, it held on to majority position through at least 2013.

Oh, I see. That must be frustrating to folks at OpenAI. Their product rests on the quality of their models, and making users unable to see which results came from their best doesn't help.

I'm not sure it makes sense to compare new laptops with used laptops, especially since the latter generally don't come with any sort of warranty. And when you're buying off ebay (and can't inspect beforehand, like with craigslist/nextdoor), you don't even know for sure if it will work on day 1.
Love the idea of doing demos on landing pages that can more easily benefit from copy optimization. We will build the next one for Intuit!

Not sure that would work.

For example, in all of my repos, I have massive test code. It usually far surpasses the implementation code.

It would be nice to be able to clone just the one 300-line implementation file, as opposed to the several thousand lines of test code.

Also, the “aggregate” workspace thing that SourceSafe used, would be a great help, for a lot of dependency hell issues.

"I’d accidentally create the hybrid Apple computer of my dreams."

And of other people's nightmares. A macbook and an ipad frankensteined together into an actual laptop?

Sorry, it's a good hack and all, but definitely not for me.

An ipad that's actually internally a macbook, running the full unix-like system, to which you can attach a keyboard of your choice, is more likely what people have in mind as the solution here. use it like an ipad when you just want to read, then stick it on the keyboard dock to do work. Actually let's make it an ipad that's actually a thinkpad or framework; something less coercive than apple or microsoft.

I would pay more for an acceptable alternative - no fan, Windows 11, good battery life, top quality screen, no gimmick features (touchscreen! detachable screen! whatever).

Feel like I'm missing a meme ref. However, may have found an interesting rabbit hole anyways. Apparently a popular DeepFake choice. Aug, 2023 paper notably.

Has voice cloning using Retrieval-based Voice Conversion and then detection for: Ryan Gosling, Joe Biden, Elon Musk, Barack Obama, Margot Robbie, Linus Sebastian, Taylor Swift, and Donald Trump.

Apparently overly-optimistic detection results reported based on discussion, although they're still not bad at 86% after removing possible training data issues.
> In the US at least, those requirements are quite straightforward.

Not typically. The requirement to directly bond to a ground rod can be hard/expensive to meet (because said ground rod is nowhere close to the cable entry to the building).
That's better than browsing youtube for videos about woodworking. Something so satisfying about watching people cut trees, use sawmills to create lumber and make a table out of it.
> It is lossy,

I was cautious about this issue before buying the device, but the fears turned out to be unfounded. Sure it won't be good enough for competitive gaming or something like that, but watching youtube is pretty good, and text rendering is indistinguishable from regular display. The only issue is that refresh rate seems to be about 30fps but for many tasks it is acceptable.

> USB-C Alt-Mode and Thunderbolt always trump DisplayLink.

Yes, but does it allow you to connect 3 displays to your notebook? I actually wanted just 2 external displays, but the DisplayLink device had 2 ports, and I have many HDMI displays laying around, so I connected 3 because I can.
Neither Stripe nor Intuit are converting users from their hero copy at this point. "Financial Infrastructure for the Internet" sounds like a diversification pitch to investors than anything else to me.

A good example would be a company that isn't an unavoidable juggernaut in its space and also isn't great at marketing. There are many open-source projects that would work because they don't have a big marketing team, but they might still be well known.
I wouldn't say this is a problem specific to kubernetes.

Most places over-provision their virtual machines also, if not more so due to the less dynamic state of the lower layers.
In this situation, they probably work for a consulting firm who is hiring them as FTE. And my experience with this is that the consulting firm itself is party to the agreement on how intellectual property rights are transferred and the employee of the firm signs an agreement that the firm can negotiate such on their behalf.

It boils down to, employee transfers IP to their consulting firm, and the firm agrees to transfer ownership of the IP for which hours were billed to produce.

IME, the firm I worked for would not bill clients for work done to our shared libraries. I'd record those hours to the firm itself, but I would still get paid the same.
Nope. You’re in orbit around the sun too. You have to modify your solar orbit so the short axis of your ellipse is close enough to fall in with atmospheric drag.

> : if it is legitimate to take copyrighted code, pass it through an LLM, output it in a new text file, and say "it doesn't have any copyright anymore because it was generated by an LLM", then copyright is essentially dead as a concept.

But it's not legitimate. That's what I said. If you (a human) take copyrighted code and redistribute it against the terms of the license, you are guilty of a crime in most places.

That was my point, whether the language model was built legally or not, if you have control of such a language model and use it to produce copyrighted code and then distribute that, you will be held as violating copyright.

I think there's a lot of confusion here because some on the thread seem to believe a large language model can in and of itself be guilty of a crime. It can't. The trainer may be guilty, or the user could be guilty, or both could be guilty. The model simply is. It might not be redistributable depending on how courts interpret the training procedure (remains to be seen).
to tell whether a piece of research is false or not, you need to be able to find out what it was. then you can conclusively prove it false. lost research like tesla's weather control notes, the alchemists' transmutation of lead into gold, or water-powered cars can instead give rise to conspiracy theories about how it was suppressed by the powerful and wasted lifetimes that could have been dedicated to something productive

I run an offline LLM on my M2 MBA with 16 GB RAM. It's fine (but I will buy more RAM on my next machine, in large part due to LLM developments).
All it takes these days is a piece of aluminum foil and a needle. Tape the foil in front of your sensor (without light leaks), poke a small hole into the center of the resulting spot with the needle.

I really wanted to love the 13" Air but two things made me switch to the Pro after trying it for a few weeks. One is that the internal speakers suck in comparison to the Pro. I 'm not looking for audiophile quality from laptop speakers, but the Pro speakers are good enough for casually watching youtube videos, TV shows, podcasts, etc, whereas the Air speakers are harsh and tinny. The second is that the default resolution isn't .5x the native resolution, as it is for most Apple desktop/laptop displays. It's some weird in-between resolution that creates aliasing on text and such. If you bump it down to a true .5x, it's 1280x~800, which is borderline unusable for desktop browsing these days.
For me it works like a charm. I had to change the USB hub though, first one was buggy and would randomly stop working. But on a second one everything is fine.
This isn’t a lawsuit and it’s not being brought on by competition so I’m not sure why any of that is useful to say.

I did not say it’s impossible to be anti-competitive without being effective. I just said it’s a factor when judging whether something is. So your first point is irrelevant as well.
This reminds me that a Microsoft surface like device running macOS is a dream state.

It was a different time back when the 12” MacBook was tested against the iPad+keyboard.

Apple like other manufacturers wants you to own more devices, not less of theirs, which is why they probably won’t do this.
Building Bluesky and a Decentralized Social Media Protocol
I just want a Windows Surface-like device that runs iPadOS when detached from its keyboard (as the current iPad is now with its keyboard case) and when attached, it runs macOS. Is that so difficult? But of course, why sell you only one device when Apple can sell two?
From the top of the original link:

> “Velato offers an unusual challenge to programmer-musicians: to compose a musical piece that, in addition to expressing their aims musically, fills the constraints necessary to compile to a working Velato program.”

It seems like Velato’s purpose is to provide an unusual and interesting creative constraint for people who can both code and write music.
Bandpass sampling is a regular technique used in the RF world to mix down a signal to its final IF or baseband frequency, digitally. In this case, you are undersampling but using a well defined signal that you have apriori knowledge of where it is before and after sampling.

And some languages (e.g. java, scala) have standard libraries with interfaces that describe ordered collections, dictionaries, etc, but offer multiple implementations so the programmer can pick based on their specific considerations, but still benefit from library code written around the interface.

Do you have your troll accusation saved in a text file to copy and paste when you write comments? Are you so far up in your own ego that anybody who has a different opinion or take than you has to be a troll, and still consider yourself writing in "good faith"?

You are comparing individual consumers and citizens with a powerful billion dollar company like Spotify. They should be able to take care of themselves, and if they can't they should fail and close shop.

> And so, similar to above, my alternative is to switch to something like f-droid

No, and this has become a strange hang-up of hackers. You can have an iPhone _and_ an Android phone with F-Droid. Apple do not send agents to break into your house and force their devices out of your hands when they get notice that you've bought a Samsung. Have both and use each as they benefit you. My recommendation is that you purchase devices that fit your needs.

I like feeling the breeze when I drive, but I don't petition the European Union to force Toyota to add a window that can be opened in the windshield. Instead I go for a motorcycle ride. That doesn't mean I have to get rid off my car.
I am not a Google employee but my comment is referring to the prolific reports that at Google trust & safety is basically DEI enforcement. The All In podcast does a deeper dive on Google culture and how the trust and safety department actually operates but it is not the only reporting on this. It seems like from the outside Google is captured by the "oppressor/oppressed" idealogy so the right people are read as "oppressors" in my comment above.
As a single 25 year old (UK), I don't save much, I don't have a car, I have rent but no mortgage, no dependants. I don't feel very rich, but I do go on two holidays a year. Though does it even count if I crash on people's floors or stay in a hostel? The idea of staying in a hotel is insane to me, which probably says a lot.

I feel like I am the only person in my friendship group who can afford things like a decent place to live and good quality groceries. This is all from me working hard to move into Software engineering from a languages and humanities degree. Honestly feel that the system is severely broken if the only way to afford a decent quality of life is to get into one of the most lucrative professions out there. Most of the people in my job have been screwed over by the market and have way more rent than me as well, so are probably not even able to do the things I can.

I feel a lot of pressure to get into FAANG or something in order to hope to ever get a house in my lifetime. Especially since my landlord threatened to put up my rent by like £400 the other day and my boss told me my raises will never keep up with inflation. But I'm a humanities person. I don't see myself becoming some sort of 10x engineer without it making me miserable. So, since the absolutely fucked announcements from my landlord and boss, I'm thinking of any way to leave this economic shithole of a country.

I'd highly recommend Erwigs FGL library in Haskell as a really nice example of a generally performant graph data structure that is easy to work with. The API feels like working with lists because you are essentially consing contexts(node, neighbours) into a list of contexts that form your graph. Many standard graph algorithms are then built up from depth or breadth first search and you can compose really succinct programs to manipulate the graph. Graphs are labelled with any Haskell data structure and there is a graphviz library complementary to FGL to generate dot files which can be rendered according to the data carried in the node labels. Often in an application you want to both perform computations on your graph and render a visualization simultaneously to the end user or for debugging and in FGL you minimise duplication of application and rendering logic.
