> Do you have any resources showing what an API client for a "true REST" system would look like? … The idea of a computer application that has no context beyond an entry URL and a media type (text/html) is pretty hard for me and many like me to wrap our heads around.

Here is a very, very simple one. It uses a hypermedia format which uses JSON syntax, but has more requirements in order to be valid:

{
"account_number": 12345,
"balance": {
"currency": "usd",
"value": 100.00
},
"status": "good",
"deposits": "/accounts/12345/deposits",
"withdrawals": "/accounts/12345/withdrawals",
"transfers": "/accounts/12345/transfers",
"close-requests": "/accounts/12345/close-requests"
}

The key is that this is a media type (let’s call it application/example+bank-account) which defines a particular object schema, which includes certain properties whose values must be URL strings (it uses HTML’s relative-URL rules).

> once you've hard coded that it's not obvious what you gain by sending URLs instead of IDs.

Well, for one thing the client does not need to care about constructing URLs because it just follows them. The logic is just ‘grab the value of a key, verify that it is a URL, follow it’ rather than ‘remember an ID, use some implicit knowledge to construct a URL, follow it.’ It means that the server is free to delegate certain accounts to other servers. It makes federation a ton easier. It means that application code is able to live at a higher level.
>As opposed to systemd which is over 3000 lines of C code I’ll never comprehend.

Well, technically true, but systemd is a whole lot more than 3000 lines...

I can see another binary in the demo video called apid, does that one not count?

> * how will they pay $2M?

They most likely don't. Most of these settlements have another agreement made behind closed doors.

I was alleged to do stuff related to video game cheats, and was in settlement talks with a company bigger than Nintendo. I didn't end up signing, so a quick overview of what such secret agreements include (the money point is the last one):

- keep everything of the following secret

- be truthful with us and tell us everything

- hand over source code, server access, chats

- shut down social media, websites related to the cheats

- if defendant cant shut down the cheat site, defendant has to try to shut it down via other various means and email the plaintiff once every quarter for three years with the efforts made

- plaintiff will make a public announcement that defendant owes 2.5 million USD (used by the plaintiff for marketing / scaring people off). After X years, the plaintiff agrees to file a full satisfaction of the monetary award (aka plaintiff files that the defendant paid the money and so their credit score isn't totally fucked), BUT in reality the defendant only has to pay the money if they breach any of the terms above.
On what grounds? They can't retroactively revoke the copyright licence previously granted no?

Not weighing in on either side of this debate, but from a systems perspective it can be incredibly difficult to keep a complex system in a fixed state. Businesses are no different, so if something is working to get you "up" to the local maxima (let's say this is the "right" size) it's really hard to predict when & how to keep you there, and instead keep doing the same thing that seems to be working. It's hard to find examples of companies that are static, outside of the largest public or government enterprises; most are cycling between growing and shrinking.

I must be doing something wrong then. I've got one of those measly models and I do quite a bit more than just basic browsing without any problem. Video calls are the least of that, and they work fine.
Inside The Salesforce Tower's 62nd floor overlooking San Francisco
Have you ever tried to trade in an Apple prdoduct? They ask you to enter the serial number and then bizarrely ask you to indentify to device. You basically have to refer to MacRumors to get it right. Apple has the same problem, if not worse.

Dell has XPS 13, XPS 15, and XPS 17 and now the plus designation. It's pretty easy.
The EHR company Epic uses a similar naming scheme for the slimmed down version of their EHR (Sonnet) and mobile app (Haiku). Their Apple Watch app is Limerick.

I suspect a lot of graph theory can be reduced to abstract algebra. You consider matrices over lots of different scalar types. The scalar types should be:

- Rigs (rings without negation),

- idempotent (that is, where x + x = x for all x),

- equipped with involution (so that undirected graphs can be made the default by restricting the matrices which represent graphs to only self-adjoint matrices),

- and the entries of the matrix can be restricted to a *-ideal. Note that a *-ideal can be considered a scalar type in its own right.

Different choices of the above scalar types can be used to capture different graph types: Weighted, directed, undirected, bipartite.

There's no clue to physical implementation, other than that sparse graphs can be treated like sparse matrices. Anybody tried this? How did it work out?
Thanks for that info! We don’t have any air conditioning, I live in a place where it ranges from 50-85 F throughout the year, rarely below 60 though. I’m trying not to install HVAC or heat until we have solar and storage installed that can support it, and it’s important to me that the house lasts and doesn’t contribute to ecological disasters such as climate change, micro plastic pollution, etc. I’m still learning a lot as most of my expertise is in software and not construction. I need to eventually strip off years of bad paint jobs with crappy paint, and I intend to use something breathable that lasts inside and out at that time.
Rsync and Encrypted SSH Keys (2023)
It's surprising how often people advocate for interfaces that require more muscle movement to do the same thing. I regularly use a pen display for drawing, and even with a tool that is more precise than finger touch input and optimized ergonomically for long art sessions I still regularly switch back to a mouse or even laptop touchpad when interacting with anything outside of a purpose-built art program.

I think you're mixing up the effects of _sample rate_ and _bit depth_ here!

Everything you said about sample rate applies more to bit depth. Higher bit depth (bits per sample) results in a lower noise floor. When audio is digitally processed or resampled, a small amount of noise ("quantization distortion") is added, which accumulates with further processing. This can be mitigated by working at higher bit depths - which is why professional grade audio processing routinely uses 24 bit formats (for storage) and 32-bit or 64-bit floating point internally (for processing), even if the final delivery format is only 16 bit.

Sample rate, on the other hand, affects bandwidth. A higher sample rate recording will contain higher frequencies. It doesn't have any direct effect on the noise floor or level of distortion introduced by resampling, as I understand. (It could have an indirect effect - for example, if certain hardware or plugins work better at particular sample rates.)

A survey of ~2,000 professional audio engineers done in May 2023 showed that 75% of those working in music use 41.1 kHz or 48 kHz, while 93% of those working in post production use 41.1 kHz or 48 kHz.[1] These are the basic CD-derived and video-derived sample rate standards.

From this it's clear that even in professional audio, higher sample rates are a minority pursuit. Furthermore, the differences are extremely subjective. Some audio engineers swear by higher sample rates, while others say it's a waste of time unless you're recording for bats. It's very rare (and practically, quite difficult) to do proper tests to eliminate confirmation bias.

No - that’s the beauty of it. The “computing stack” as taught in Computer Organization courses since time immemorial just got a new layer, imo: prose. The whole utility of these models is that they operate in the same fuzzy, contradictory, perspective-dependent epistemic space that humans do.

Phrasing it like that, it sounds like the stack has become analog -> digital -> analog, in a way…

Can you elaborate a little on "listening to violent noises" approach? When do you do this, for how long? Is it graduated in intensity, like exposure therapy?

Thanks!
>I was under the impression most have copied Apple and transitioned to soldering and gluing everything into an unserviceable mess

ultrabooks, yes. everything is so crammed and specs are relatively low, so you're mostly stuck with what comes in the machine.

Most other laptops (the "pro" competitors) tend to not do that. There's no good reason for an OEM to do that if they aren't optimizing for some sub 4lb laptop.

I don't think this means much besides "It can't answer the Sally question".
“Innocent”.

Reality (and the courts) disagree with you.
Many of the binaries you see in the demo video are showing processes running from inside containers. There will be a lot more processes once you start pulling containers and starting containerized services.

Notably the kubelet is also missing from the list because it's not built into the OS but pulled as needed from the correct version of Kubernetes requested.

Bottlerocket runs systemd and also runs 2 versions of containerd. One for the system and one for workloads. This (in theory) hardens the OS more, but in practice makes things extremely annoying to manage because you have to get a shell on the host to access the API.

disclaimer, I used to work at AWS on EKS and closely with the Bottlerocket team.
The Microsoft branding gives this article a "From one 'New IBM' to another..." feel.

One "trick" not tried in the article that I have used is to gzip the data (so you have a .csv.gz) and stream that instead of the raw file. I find it reduces a large amount of the disk read (as you have 6-10x less to read).
I'm probably forgetting some vital details, but isn't that getting similar to Larrabee? As I recall that was where intel seemed to be exploring other uses for their Atom CPUs and were trying to push as many as they could into one processor.

One of the uses they prototyped was a GPU, or a large multi-threaded (x86)software renderer rather than going through a regular 3D acceleration API. I remember reading that part of the challenge was that Larrabee was a system itself, so a developer needed to boot something like BSD before providing it with code to get useful output. This was around the time AMD was experimenting with 'fusion' after their purchase of AMD, and exploring how to push different different parts of an application to the relevant processor in their CPU+GPU products.

That's in addition to the other Xeon Phi accelerators they did. Obviously Sierra Forest is a regular CPU, but it seems there's a bit of "history doesn't repeat, but it rhymes"
I hope that there are standard interfaces like intents that Apple and third parties can publish that expose their functionality. That would make it easier to use them in a more modular fashion, through automation, through Siri voice, or through Siri text prompts. Some of that intents interface exists already but they should greatly expand it with AI in mind.

Another route would be for Apple to provide an LLM accessible to app so that they could offer that to interpret use request within those apps. If you're in Calendar, make it easy to add an event with voice or text.
The systemd hate is getting long in the tooth now. It's not like it doesn't do anything with its line count, or that the code is obfuscated.

Here's my understanding β is coefficient (slope) for the linear mixed model and 95% CI is the confidence interval for the coefficient. There are no effect sizes given, my guess is it's harder to calculate for linear mixed models when models gets complicated. It's not easy/useful to interpret from coefficient here.

Rather see Table 3 for mean and SD. The mean(SD) change for cognition for Treatment group was 0.40 (0.83) and for placebo was 0.19 (0.70). Linear mixed model showed this was significant when other factors held constant.

Yikes that's scary. In a Cessna or similar once you get into your reserve (figure ~45min running time) it becomes very urgent to get on the ground asap. And this thing looks like it glides about as well as a brick.

EDIT: worth quoting:

> it can fly at a cruise speed of 55 knots to a range of about 20 miles (32 kilometers) with 20 percent battery reserves left

That's four minutes of "reserve power" lmao. Absolutely not, no thanks.

EDIT: to put this into perspective, if you're flying at 7500ft and you hit your 4min reserve, you would need to fly straight down at over 20mph, and then aggressively slow your descent during the last few seconds in order to not die.
I have the base level M2 Air and it’s anything but a basic browsing machine.

> Study after study has demonstrated that people have issues with vegetarian diets

And what does "Study after Study" say about the overconsumption of meat so common especially in western societies these days?

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26780279/

Feel free to browse through the "similar articles" section under the linked study.

> Healthy vegetarian diets are still the domain of the economically and educationally privileged.

For most people in the world, especially outside of comparatively rich western societies, meat is actually a costly alternative, and plant based foodstuffs are the norm.
I'm a year and a half in and everything is running smooth. I still get a full workday out of the battery - and that's using Linux. That's plenty for me. It opens smooth. The keyboard is good - no deck flex. The screen is fine - even at only 300nits I don't need it brighter as I don't work in bright areas.

I really really don't see how this won't last another 2 and half years or even more.
I totally understand where you're coming from, and even share your perspective to a degree. I have ADHD, and it has a significant impact on my life. I'm in no way equating the two, but I have lost multiple jobs as a result of it. First because I didn't understand that part of myself, and later because the companies were unwilling to accommodate.

That said, there is some truth to what the GP posted. The recycling center in my area works with a local adult services agency to place people with severe autism and other mental health conditions with a similar level of impact on their lives into positions where they can productive. Often that's sorting inbound recyclables. They pay them a bit below minimum wage. That seems deplorable on its face, but after some consideration I think it's a net benefit to all involved.

The company isn't getting the same productive output that they would from a typical employee, and they wouldn't break even if they paid them minimum wage.

The people doing the work are legitimately getting an opportunity they wouldn't otherwise have - it's difficult to find productive work for many of them, especially those that are non-verbal. They're able to earn a living. For most of them, it's the first time in their lives they've been able to say they have a job. The people I've spoken to in that position were all obviously proud of their work, and their pay is supplemented by welfare programs. They took and held the job because they wanted to be useful or simply wanted some spending money for themselves. The alternative for them was to be fully reliant on public assistance programs and sit idle all the time.

At a higher level, I've heard of companies with recruiting programs explicitly designed to seek out high-functioning people with autism, blindness, and deafness. I'm told those were based on positive experiences with past employees with those disabilities, and they had open positions to fill that they knew from that experience those people could perform the roles well.

While my current employer has no specific program for it, I believe we have a disproportionate number of employees with ADHD, depression, and other mental health condition that tend to do well with minimal accommodation. That's why I'm here - I really enjoy working somewhere that "I can't focus at all today, I'm logging out for the day" and "please reschedule this meeting; I'm hyperfocused on another task and don't want to break that" are equally valid statements that are universally understood and accepted.
I think it'd be closer to a Hackintosh.
I wonder: did they address common ML ethics questions? Specifically: Are the ML algorithms better/worse on male than on female speech? How about different languages or dialects? Are they specifically tuned for speech at all, or do they also work well for music or birdsong?

What was considered “loads of compute” in 1998 is the kind of thing that can run on anyone’s phone today. Stockfish is extremely cheap compared with an LLM. Even a human-like model like Maia is tiny compared with even the smallest LLMs used these services.

Point is, LLM maximalists are wrong. Specialized software is better in many places. LLMs can fill in the gaps, but should hand off when necessary.

I don't understand using a sales rep as the first example.

Don't you just tell the salesperson how their compensation is tied to deals signed, revenue, and the speediness of payments?

Doesn't that formula alone tell you what the behavior will be?

Agreed on the value of educating employees about what's important to the business, but isn't sales an exception, due to convention of how their compensation is structured?
