I guess I should say, take up lots of space unless you're OK with lower quality. In any case, gainmaps are entirely unrelated to the 8 bit vs 10 bit question. The more range you have (gamut or brightness) the worse 8 bit is, regardless of whether you're using a gainmap or not. And you can use gainmaps with 10 bit images.
There already is one in ARIA that supports this: aria-owns [1] and to some degree aria-flowsto [2]

But with everything in ARIA, it always depends on real-world support of screen readers, which is very poor. You have to work with what actually works unfortunately.

Imo changing order just to change the streaming order for a tiny performance gain is not worth breaking the UX for people with accessibility needs.

Very nice article! I recently had a long chat with chatgpt on this topic, although from a slightly different perspective.

A neural network is a type of machine that solves non linear optimization problems, and the principle of least action is also a non linear optimization problem that nature solves by some kind of natural law.

This is the one thing that chatgpt mentioned which surpised me the most and which I had not previously considered.

> Eigenvalues of the Hamiltonian in quantum mechanics correspond to energy states. In neural networks, the eigenvalues (principal components) of certain matrices, like the weight matrices in certain layers, can provide information about the dominant features or patterns. The notion of states or dominant features might be loosely analogous between the two domains.

I am skeptical that any conserved quantity besides energy would have a corresponding conserved quantity in ML, and the Reynolds operator will likely be relevant for understanding any correspondence like this.

iirc the Reynolds operator plays an important role in Noethers theorem, and it involves an averaging operation similar to what is described in the linked article.

In China the air filtration is actually used very common by middle class because of the air pollution. Many new furnished home would install the centralized air filtration along with AC (for heat exchange purpose) And usually it costs about 5-20k us dollars (depending on number of rooms and size). I don't think this price level is only for rich. Note that many vendors are actually Japanese brands such as Panasonic, Daikin.

I don't think they sell a lot of green (fresh) lumber. At my big box store on the East Coast:

For indoor structural construction, they're selling "kiln dried, 19% or below" Southern-Yellow-Pine or Spruce-Pine-Fir categories, specified in #2 quality grade or better. This SYP KD19 #2BTR mark or SPF KD19 #2BTR mark is lumber-industry-standard. It's stamped on the wood.

For outdoor construction like decks, they'll sell you copper-compound pressure treated wood which is indeed rather wet, and dyed green.

And then in a tiny section at the back, they'll sell you a single, large doug fir board green, as well as two SKUs of engineered LVL boards for bearing beams. Mostly you see Doug Fir more on the West Coast.

You can tell green / wet / fresh wood with a moisture meter, but you can also just pick it up - it will be up to four times as heavy.

KD19 is a maximum rating for structural uses. In reality they're often taking it significantly further than that in the kiln depending on the distributor (10%, 12%), but not quite as dry as the indoor of a house either. Drying distortion with KD19 is nonzero, but usually something small enough that you can ignore it with typical construction techniques. Large 2x12 SYP boards generate the most complaints, because the wood likes to warp more than others, and 2x12 is so large you're not going to get it sawn with a clean grain pattern.

In France, the bank 'Société Générale' did that 15 years ago, 5th biggest French bank and at the time they decided to do that, probably the bank with the best IT systems (they had less legacy systems than bigger banks and did better tech choices).

It's now still the 5th biggest bank, they bought an online bank, and are restructuring because of all the French banks, it's the one that spend the most in IT (at least it was 2 years ago). The CFO/CEO who pushed for this got out with a lot of money (Oudea, his wife is in charge of the Olympic games this summer).

Fair, but in my view if you have engineers implementing your marketing homepage they should be able to do this for you just like they write the HTML and CSS for you and figure out the deployment.

And if the marketing team uses Webflow or Framer or something like that, maybe those tools should add native support for dropping in videos without needing YouTube to make it equally simple, just like they make the rest of the development of the website simple.

To my understanding Apple has provided a solution in the form of a new type of webview available to apps that protects privacy. Last I checked (I don’t have the FB app installed for this exact reason so I’m not up to date) FB have not switched to using this new webview. It would be difficult to remove the functionality from the original API (WKWebView) because app developers like myself use it for legitimate reasons with internal web content. There have been some moves to lock advanced features behind an app-defined list of domains but it’s far from comprehensive. Maybe in iOS 18 (he said skeptically).

The answer is simple: Apple just needs to deny FB App Store approval until they switch APIs. Of course they haven’t done that, and they won’t.

It can be.

1. It can save a lot of repetitive boilerplate code

2. You can keep validation rules in one spot.

I've been working with some toolkits like these after years of 'backend api, frontend vue/react/angular' and it definitely can save a lot of time. It's not always the best fit, but there isn't one approach to all applications that is the best fit. Everything has tradeoffs.
I'm not saying that it wasn't dangerous, I'm saying that the statistical probability of the situation you were in happening and resulting in an injury or death is lower than the probability of injury or death in a motor vehicle.

You might feel like you have more control over your fate when you're driving, but as the say in the deep bowels American political culture, "facts don't care about your feelings." The same factually-incorrect risk evaluation is used by people who prefer driving over flying on a commercial airliner.

31% of all fatal crashes in 2021 involved drunk drivers, a much more common drug which is 100% legal. You don't have control over your fate in a car when other drivers on the road make up all of the moving objects that you can run into.

Not to mention the fact that crime can still happen to you while you are driving, a common example being carjacking. [1]

Your own numbers that you provided tell us the opposite story that you want to tell. The very first transit death this year just happened almost 3 months into the year. Meanwhile, 28-36 yearly car crash deaths in Seattle averages out to over 2 deaths every single month. That means by the time someone died on transit, something like 6 people had already died in car crashes in the Seattle area.

Obviously, more people are driving than taking transit, but still, in Seattle almost half of all trips downtown involve public transit.

That is exactly what we want to avoid.

It begins with looking "prettier" and ends with "terminal apps" which 20 acres of whitespace around elements, and follow whatever the design fashion of the day is...

And of course UX designers and wannabees get involved, and, it being much easier to bikeshed than code, our cli apps get redesigned every year like Gnome/KDE.

Corporations already expect salaried employees to work "whatever hours are necessary to get the job done", ie, often more than 40 hours a week. Assuming this remains true, people will be working 20% less for a 25% pay cut, and still be expected to work overtime for free. Sounds great for companies, not so great for employees.
Yes, but if you know that I run unencrypted traffic on my network and if I tell you that, you still won't be able to get to any of that if you cannot get into our network. Even if I tell you that I host at provider X and the traffic is unencrypted until it hits our webserver, you still won't be able to sniff any of it without getting very intimate with someone who has deeper access. Just hiring a machine at the same provider and putting the card in promiscuous mode is not going to get you anything from us.
> You can't control all aspects of that experience with AI, that isn't how it works.

Huh? You can already do that with text and static images _today_. Doing that for video is almost here, and long-form entertainment will be next.

> The end result of AI can't be personal, because AI can only work with what already exists within its training set.

That's not true, even today. Techniques like RAG and very large context sizes can augment the training data with anything the user wants.

The end result can indeed be very personal. Imagine interacting as yourself (so not a role or character) with your deceased relatives, favorite celebrities, romantic interests, etc. They will refer to you by name, and know detailed information about you. No video game programmer and artist can craft such experiences for you, let alone in the time it takes you to think about it and communicate it to the AI.

Compiler-emitted stack checking is optional and not the default, and definitely not what is causing the crash here.

How could an implementation reasonably define the behavior for a stack overflow that silently corrupts another variable?

htop is not drawing things with "|" unless it has to. It's using the boxdrawing characters. If that's not pixel perfect at all scales, it's your terminals problem, not htop (quite a few terminals have custom code to render the box drawing characters exactly to ensure they still join up and look like the appropriate box elements at all scales).

Not only in one line but also you don't need to wrap your function argument with a class instantiation, you can just pass the integer into the function you are calling and the compiler takes care of the rest.

And that is a problem with many class based languages, that a class can't work as a primitive, compare Java's int vs Integer.

program TestType;
type age = 0..150;

procedure test(age:age);
begin
writeln(age);
end;

begin
test(100);
test(200);
end.
It's simpler to say Newtonian gravity and visible matter alone is sufficient to explain the need for dark matter.

Adding GR to the picture doesn't take away the need for dark matter to account for observations.
I dipped my feet into R a few years back, but eventually stopped it because of the way it handles integers. At the time it treated all integers internally as signed 32-bit and if the number is too large for that it converted it to a float.

I don't know what R does now, but this was a deal breaker for me at the time because I was dealing with really large integers that regularly broke this limit.

Second this, seen lots of funds use whatever language their lead QR/QT feels comfortable with. At the end of the day, if you aren't running a strategy that requires colocation on the exchange, whatever speed improvement you get from the language will usually disappear from the network latency.

Something like intraday momentum/sector rotations can easily be done entirely in Python/R, from what I've seen.
Waymo has still not proven to be as safe as a public bus. It can get into a crash just like any other vehicle. It can (e.g.) be hit by a drunk driver in ways that are likely to be much more injurious to the passengers than if the same situation happened to a bus. Buses have far more inertia than the vehicles around them, they're more visible, and they are driven by professional, trained drivers. Waymo has not provided enough specific data that points to their vehicles being safer than public transit or their driving skill outperforming a trained professional driver (not just a random person with a license off the street like Uber uses). I'm skeptical considering how death rates are a full 10X lower on public transit compared to automobiles. Even if Waymo is twice as safe as a human-operated automobile, that still makes it 5x less safe than public transit.
