That is good reasoning, but are you sure a high number of drivers are also waiting with adjustments, instead of fumbling on the screen while continuing to drive?
if you are considering switching to linux, presumably a clean install actually is an option.
Right when I'm thinking about switching from Linux to Mac. Not for the software but for the hardware.

I just can't find any laptop that can even get near the quality of a MacBook (excellent touchpad, sound, battery life).

Expert systems, formal logic, prolog and so on. That was the "AI" of the 70s. The systems failed to grasp real world subtleties, which LLMs finally tackle decently well.

I don't think startup compensation has yet to account for the wage gains in big tech since Facebook started bidding up comp. They are still operating as if it's 2009.

We'd also need a new technology as big as the PC and the Internet to open up lanes for new entrants. As it is the incumbents have locked up most of the market so that's where the money is.
I believe that laptops are counted as desktops for this kind of stats. The split is by UI. Mobile is phone and tablets (same UI), laptops and desktops are desktop (same UI).

Servers are a case apart because especially for Windows they have the same UI as desktops even if Microsoft has a no GUI option now. I believe that nearly all Linux servers are command line only.
People will probably call it JXL after the file extension anyway.
No. Almost all cars except some concepts and prototypes have mechanical link between the steering wheel and the steering rack. Even if the link is augmented by a hydraulic or electronic booster.

If a booster fails you have a chance of overpowering it, it's not that strong. A faulty steer-by-wire will swing you into the oncoming lane with no recourse.

Uh? I've worked for an Ad company with the Mercedes AMG Hospitality & Comms Team in the past (>7 yrs ago, way before Ineos got in)and what she wrote absolutely matches my experience regarding the disconnect between the actual sport and the whole "circus" and old money circling around it.

It also matches the extremely short time I've spent around Lewis Hamilton, which was incredibly gracious with everything and everyone the whole time, especially with fans.

No, i am not. Flying doesn't impart meaning of intentional behaviour. It's distance carried against height lost or gained pure and simple. Claim, believes, states, hallucinated, states, says argues all go to intelligence not just the input output situation. Maybe most unintentional flight is gliding, or controlled descent to ground. That said, can a dumb system keep a Kite aloft? I believe yes. No Ai needed.

To me there is a clear difference. Ai language is not as direct as flying.

We have two projects in the pipeline and need to bring in more developers to handle the huge demand we have.
I get your point, but in the example used - and I can think of couple others that start with "X replaced all controls with touch/voice/ML" - the much bigger ethical question is why did they do it in the first place. The new solution may or may not be biased differently than the old one, but it's usually inferior to the previous ones or simpler alternatives.
The concept that you can sell for X, and X is large and you get nothing shouldn't be a surprise in itself. Investors wouldn't make money if they made every founder rich regardless of the risk they take. That said, in this case sounds like the founders were f'd over. Why did they accept those terms, why didn't a lawyer or advocate advise against it?
Agreed. Doesn't matter what it actually means, everyone, including myself, will initially just see Extra Large.

I'm still not clear what it actually stands for after reading OPs post though.

Extra Large it is.

As someone who didn't know what JPEG XL was before reading this, it sounded to me like some specialized file format for huge images. Ironically, this would lead me to the right choice of file type if I had a large image.

I do admit, though, that if I saw a folder full of .jpeg and .jpegxl files before reading this, I'd expect the .jpegxl ones to be larger on average. Or if someone said "should I send you the .jpeg or the .jpegxl" and I was low on disk space, I'd find it plausible to say "hmm, no reason to send the large version, the jpeg should be fine".
But the developer of exactly the app using all your memory is writing it in Electron from Windows and has never used XCode.

But overall...trow that image on your nas away.
Well to be fair, that constraint is also part of the mathematical definition of a graph, where the set of edges E is a binary relation over vertices V (i.e., a subset of V x V). You'd need either a multiset or a labelled relation (i.e., a subset of V x L x V for some set of labels L) to overcome that.

You're correct. It looks to me like the Yuzu team set everything up with the best of intentions. And they were, indeed, helping people dump their own games and they had channel rules that said piracy was not allowed. They started out like an ethical open source project ...

... but around April/May 2023 the moderators made it very clear that it's good enough to PRETEND not pirating the roms. (Can't find the quote atm.) And they were discussing among the mods about people joining due to the TotK leak. And there's hundreds of people who ask "Where can I download game XY?" followed by "Thank you, kind stranger, for the link." and then maybe the rules bot saying "please don't discuss piracy in here".

That all combined makes it easy to argue that the moderators in the Yuzu discord were in April 2023 fully aware that they were actively helping people play the TotK leak. And through Discord and their company, they made money off this activity. (Because you needed the early-access build only available to paid subscribers. They went out of their way to make it close to impossible to compile the supposedly "open" source code yourself.)
Makes a lot of sense, mustang panda is heavy on document collection on target systems. Almost certainly a PLA intel gathering unit (like a cia team) as opposed to an MSS team but then again if their target was dissidents or political interests that disproves my theory.
Not in Sweden (any more at least). Language in public space here is so anglicised that it gets embarrassing sometimes.
That the models compared are so close just shows that there no real progress in "A.I.". Its just competing companies trying to squeeze performance (not intelligence) out of an algorithm.

It seems like you have a more sensible car than many. I was recently in one with really dumb automatic AC that needed adjustment very often, the AC settings were in a menu behing two clicks, there was no convenient landmark to orient my hand without looking, the temperature slider was very small and dense needing high precision and the temperature text was rather small. And the steering wheel buttons are, of course, not remappable.

I drive about a dozen different modern electric cars on a regular basis (carsharing) and all of them have at least a few of the above flaws (if not for AC then for something else that needs adjusting while driving).
How do you do it? It is very, very difficult to not have screen time, in part because there are older kids in my house.

I’m more on the “quality of screen time” and “method of screen time” as my modifiable factors. Zero screen time seems (I cringe saying this) impossible.
I have a 2018 model x with a traditional wiper dial stalk and it almost never works. It has markings for 5 settings and most of the time it just ignores the setting you have it on. The auto setting doesn't seem to change the behaviour at all. My model 3 was annoying with the wipers on the touchscreen (mostly) but at least they worked consistently.
> the downvote isn’t an “I disagree” button

Take it from a guy that regularly posts unpopular truths: people vote based on the way they feel after reading. It has almost nothing to do with the content.

Edit: for example, try posting a personal opinion about a controversial topic and you’ll still have people downvoting to disagree as if it’s possible to tell someone that they are in fact wrong about a statement of what their opinion on a topic is.

It’s a bit sad if you think about what voting like that means, as content is often amplified or suppressed based on votes. Echo chambers seem inevitable

While I disagree, I can respect such an answer. You fundamentally disagree with the possibility. The rest of my response is just some thoughts, no need to reply if you don't want. I respect your honest and rational
answer.

>Explain to me how it differs from "parse error on line #3, quitting." beyond "that string appears literally in the sources"

It different because it is generating novel sentences to novel situations. Not necessarily a high bar but it is different. I don't think that it can reliably quotes strings in the first place.
In the more abstract sense, I don't think we have enough knowledge of our mind to say we aren't llms (less provocatively phrased, our minds could just be statistics models). Even if we aren't, there's no reason to believe that ai even has to work the same as human consciousness. Helicopters, balloons, rockets, and planes all fly but work very differently: we only measure flight by the end result. (Yeah, Helicopters aren't actually that different from planes in a physics sense)

I’m almost done with it and I’ll say that I hated the first part, found many of the specific examples interesting throughout the middle, and although there are some interesting insights later, it’s an utter failure from a narrative standpoint as a whole. It really would have benefited from a much stronger editor, if there even was one at all.

I installed a Linux distro on a spare SSD that I had this week, to once more try out doing more development in it and daily drive it for a bit.

I went for Linux Mint because it has the convenience of Ubuntu (and Debian), though doesn't make me use snaps, in addition to their Cinnamon desktop just being all around a comfortable choice.

So far, all of the tooling just works, the desktop experience (even including audio) seems bug free, though I've had issues in the past with my netbook instead of the desktop. Regardless, it uses less RAM than Windows, feels more snappy and for development, I'm very happy with it. All of my IDEs and toolchains work, productivity and content creation software doesn't have issues either.

Even things like gaming seem more and more viable thanks to Steam and Proton, although it's not quite where Windows is now and won't be there for a while.

Either way, I'm pretty glad with how the OS and its distros/desktop environments are progressing.
True. With a car there are fewer eyes monitoring the situation and frequently little or no time to correct from a mistake.
>If I could stay on X11 for a decade from now on

I think they all talk about that move but i make a bet no one will actually do it. Remember Nvidia?

And i think anything archlinux/gentoo will stay with x11 AND Wayland for at least the next 10 years.
> Doesn't the Air Canada case demonstrate the exact opposite, that real businesses actually are using AI today to replace jobs that previously would have required a human?

It shows that some are trying, and failing at that.

> Furthermore, don't you think it's possible for a real human customer service agent to make such a blunder as what happened in that case?

One human? Sure, some people are plain dumb. The thing is you don't give your entire customer service under the responsibility of a single dumb human. You have thousands of them and only a few of them could do the same mistake. When using LLMs, you're not gonna use thousands of different LLMs so such mistakes can have an impact that's multiple order of magnitude higher.
I wouldn’t discount startups altogether. I was previously at a FANG company when a startup doing some exciting work in a really interesting space offered to match my total comp in cash, plus the equivalent in options based on their recent valuation. All fully remote.

At the time, the company I was at seemed to be going downhill quickly, and they began mass layoffs for the first time shortly after I left.

What happened since then? Well, the startup options have very likely gone to zero. And my previous company’s stock price, which had been dropping quickly over the course of my last year there, made a hard U-turn right after I left and has been skyrocketing ever since (my family likes to joke that I caused the change of course at both companies).

Was it really a bad decision though? It’s sort of hard to tell. At my previous company, my manager had put together a promotion packet, but this likely would have been cancelled with the layoffs, and there’s a chance I could have been laid off as well (as far as I can tell it was random). And then there’s the fact that for whatever weird reason, compensation for internal promos at this company heavily lagged that of external hires at the same level for many years.

So at least up until now, I think I am even with or maybe slightly ahead of the counterfactual situation where I didn’t join a startup. Plus I have had new experiences, greater scope, and different types of challenges than I had previously, and I think it’s valuable to have a variety of novel experiences over a lifetime.

Obviously, from this point forward my future (financial) outlook would be better off if I had stayed, but it’s hard to write off my decision to try something new. Other former coworkers also left to join startups, a few of which are likely to go public soon, so it’s not as if going from FANG to a startup always works out unfavorably, and if you join a startup that seems to be doing well at a later stage, the downside risk doesn’t seem that high actually.

You know, I really wish I could add a few things to the macBook. A number pad for example, since VoiceOver can use them for quick and simple navigation and item selection. I mean, I also wish VoiceOver was even half as good as NVDA, a free and open source Windows screen reader, but that's for another day.

Also, make the modifier keys symmetrical. Add a control key to the right side of the keyboard! Yeah, the keyboard is a big deal for blind people like me. I do know a few blind people that use Macs sometimes, but I don't know if they just hook up an external keyboard as much as possible like I do, or just use the built in one without a nampad and such.

This is my main issue, I need full access to input devices and the ability to drop, alter and inject new events.

On Windows I fully rely on StrokeIt, it has been a huge improvement for me which I've used for ~15 years.

Linux's easystroke [0] is now deprecated (and always was mediocre) and the modern alternative "mouse-actions" [1] is not good at all.

I've coded a replacement in Rust+C which works for my simple use-case but it targets X11 and it's unclear for me how I can get low level access to input devices events with Wayland. I've also read something about security getting increased in Wayland so that one does no longer have access to input stuff (unclear to me).

Then the nice thing about X11 is the ability to remotely use a X11 session, which apparently isn't possible with Wayland (except for RDP or VNC which isn't what I need).

>Geographical factors would seem to be this kind of importance that establishes a long dominance and strong chance of success, sure, but what Geographical factor allowed for Industrialism to be established in Western Civilization, with all the force multipliers that Industrialism gives? Almost all countries nowadays are industrialized therefore there is no geographical factor that prevents industrialization in those nations.

the Industrial Revolution started because Great Britain had an over abundance of coal, so another point for the geographical theory?
If you enjoy the overpowering taste of extremely cheap vinegar Bautzner is the mustard for you.
"Eurasia’s geographic layout inherently facilitated a quicker spread of critical innovations compared to other regions of the world, such as the Americas and Africa."

sadly, "critical" and "innovation" are semantically characterized as both important and good because who made those critical innovations dominated with weapons other trivial and unoriginal populations.

Edit: I havent't read the book but such hypothesis are quite sterile considering how populations move (and used to move) around the globe. We are taught a pretty static idea of ancient civilizations, while they probably move more than us.
