I agree there is cool stuff going on in vision, absolutely. But I wasn’t taking about the field in general.

I just don’t think it moves the needle significantly in this particular area. For example, structured data out of a single camera is way better than it was 5+ years ago, but it isn’t as good as a dedicated multi sensor setup (ie state of the art for robotics) and that in turn isn’t good enough for the problems in GP post - which was the point.
I've definitely noticed ChatGPT generally writes better Python than it writes Scala, presumably for the same reason of there being a fair bit more Python code in the wild.
I also had to build intuition for when it will be appropriate versus not. It's hard to describe but one very positive signal is certainly "will any hallucination be caught in <30s"? Even in ChatGPT Plus you can have it write its own unit tests and run them in the original prompt (even in the profile's Custom Instructions so you don't have to type it all the time).

So a mistake was using it for something where runtime performance on dozens of quirky data files was critical; that nearly set my CPU on fire. But str>str data cleanup, chain of simple API calls, or some a one-off data visualization? chef kiss

No, it's not the client's job to draw the cursor. The client provides a surface, the same kind of thing as any other window, and asks for it to become the cursor. The client draws into the surface, but the placement and drawing of this surface to the screen is done by the compositor (most likely with an overlay plane).

This allows the application to customize the cursor, which happens more frequently than you might expect, e.g. dragging and dropping a file changes the "cursor" to include the little preview of the file. So the client already needs to learn how to render cursor images to composite the cursor image on top of the DnD preview.

One of Wayland's original core philosophies is to share behavior by shared library, rather than by protocol, because social agreement is already required, and is way better for a community long-term. So there is also a libwayland-cursor library that allows you to load Xcursors, which allows the client to do all the compositing and customization it needs, while still supporting a standard.

zwp_cursor_shape makes sense for a basic client without too many needs, but it's not a great idea for a full toolkit, otherwise DnD dragging (or any other case that requires compositing cursor images) will show a different cursor.

Also, SVG for cursors is not really a great idea.

> For an individual, the best option is betrayal ...

Well, this applies to prisoner's dilemma games if you know exactly how many times you will "play" the game with a given other player, including the case where you will only play one time.

But for repeated prisoner's dilemma games, where you don't know what games is the last against a given player, a tit-for-tat strategy massively dominates an always-defect strategy.

Humans have evolved in environments where repeated prisoner's dilemma situation is common, and have evolved emotions such as empathy and consciousness for interactions with cooperative agents.

We ALSO have evolved (to a lesser or greater degree) the ability to turn such emotions off when dealing with people who attempt the always-defect strategy (such as psycopaths).

In fact, psychpathic behavior only becomes viable in populations that have been using tit-for-tat for so long that they've "forgotten" how to punish defectors (ie almost all agents switched to always-cooperate).

But once you introduce a few always-defect agents into the population, the tit-for-tat agents will soon dominate again.

At least for the brain wireing for interacting with members of our own "tribe". When dealing with people outside our "tribe", it's much more likely that we will only play them once, and in such cases, always-defect may indeed dominate.

However, there is also a tribe-level game, where the tribe can act as agents. And in tribe-vs-tribe games, depending on circumstances, both tit-for-tat and always-defect can be optimal strategies. Always-defect can, ultimately, lead to genocide, while tit-for-tat can lead to alliances, trade and intermarriage.

People who think that always-defect is always the optimal mode of behavior tend to be people who either don't consider it for their close relations, or who have very few close relations. For instance, someone who lives alone in the city and is either unemployed or tend to have purely transactional work relations.

What such people tend to forget, is that there is an artificial presence in the city, called the police, that can impose a level of safety that can remove the need for high trust, pro-socal relationships. In a society with police, all you have to do is to know what behavior lands you in prison, and otherwise you can be a selfish bastard.

As soon as you remove the police, loners like that are free game for "predators", and only those who have a "tribe" have any kind of protection. Such a "tribe" can be a clan in an Afghan mountain area or it can be a gang in a high-crime city. While a gang member may have little to no empathy or conscience when dealing with outsiders, maintaining good relations with other clan members can be critical (Depending on what specific gang it is.)
Yeah that 7% boost also includes every sub-average employee of the company.

What did the top quartile employees get?
I'm not defending the parent, since I don't think 7% is bad, but the conflation of legality and morality (or insert a less dramatic word for "things people are allowed to judge you on") is one of the most tired fallacies in all of discourse.

Political Graffiti in Georgian Britain
I build a lot of walls, so I might be sensitive to this. I went back to my photo album (which, to my family's great frustration is about 1/3rd wall pics), most are out 1–2°; the exterior wall of the plaza is wavy, my pictures have a hard time capturing this. Most of the buildings in the plaza are out 1/2–1°, or more. Buildings are built plumb, because it is safe & easy. These buildings are straight but not plumb.
I never envisioned a day when the trend of monopolization across different sectors of economy (at least in the US) would be reversed. But this could be huge, or to quote the article - "The opening of a free market for Realtor compensation could mirror the shake-up that occurred in the travel industry with the emergence of online broker sites such as Expedia and Kayak."

Rooting for more such monopoly busting across different sectors.

The iPhone was form over function, no keyboard, no apps, and too expensive. You can't even use a stylus with it! It doesn't do anything that my phone and ipod don't already do better.

The iPad was absolutely roasted for just being a giant expensive iPhone with a dumb name, it doesn't even have its own apps. It doesn't do anything that my iPhone can't already do.

The iMac was underpowered and overpriced, didn't even have a floppy drive, didn't have real connectors just something called USB that no one had ever heard of, it wasn't compatible with 99% of the software on the market. It doesn't do anything that my PC doesn't already do.

We see all these products as unmitigated hits now, but at the time they launched, it was still very much up for debate.

In general, I agree that most literature recommends to maintain fiber in the diet. However, this depends and there is research on diets that reduce dietary fiber. Let me refer you to recent articles

in Cell Host & Microbe: https://www.cell.com/cell-host-microbe/abstract/S1931-3128(2...

> we found that a fiber-free diet ameliorates colitis by altering the intestinal localization of a specific gut pathobiont that is required to trigger CD-like disease in genetically susceptible mice. Mechanistically, fiber-free diet inhibited the ability of mucin-degrading microbes to supply critical molecules that are required for the metabolism and maintenance of the disease-causing pathobiont in the mucus layer.

or in Gastroenterology: https://www.gastrojournal.org/article/S0016-5085(23)05306-4/...

> Fiber free exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) is an effective steroid-sparing treatment used to induce clinical remission in children with Crohn’s disease (CD).

I hope it becomes apparent that having fiber is not the solution to everything. Above papers administer fiber-free diets for treatment.

Other diets focus on the exclusion of certain fibers, like for example, in the widespread and clinically approved FODMAP diet. Hence, it also depends on the type of fiber.
This has been tried many times and nobody has been able to make it work. What would you do differently?
This is more or less what the article proposes except the article proposes doing this one time after collecting a full list of actions.

Both that solution and the one in the article miss one point though: If you use the AWS Console at all it makes hundreds of calls to all manners of AWS service in all available regions. Because of this you can't just assume the calls made by a role intended for interactive use over some period are the "correct" privileges for that role because someone just clicking around in the console will generate thousands API calls to many different services.
Maybe the Skill Mix paper is relevant here. They define a list of 100 skills, and then randomly sample tuples of n skills (usually less than 6) and generate a test example using those skills. Apparently only GPT-4 (at the time of the paper) was able to compose 5 skills, the other models just 3 or 2. Beyond 5 skills even GPT-4 was doing much worse.

The interesting finding of the paper is that GPT-4 couldn't have seen all the (topic, skill-tuple) combinations in the training set. If you have 10,000 examples on a topic, and use 5 out of 100 skills, you would need 100^5 training examples to cover all combinations. In conclusion GPT-4 generalizes to new skill combinations, thus it is not a stochastic parrot.

In my anecdote, both cyclists had helmets, gloves, and other safety gear. The pedestrians they ride through and around do not.

Cyclists operate in the uncanny valley between cars and pedestrians. They have the speed of cars, the mass of pedestrians, and the predictability of a spooked squirrel.
I don't know why but my reaction to this is a strong negative. It seems like exactly the opposite of what we should expect out of programmers.

> not having Internet access at times because someone else bought out committed bandwidth

This argument does not hold up because large telcos like BT put their committed bandwidth customers on a wholly separate network to the consumers.

So whatever Joe Blogs does at home/small-biz has no effect on the committed customer, and vice versa.

Over-simplified tech summary: The home/small-biz connection will go back via an intermediary step at the nearest street cabinet or underground aggregation node. The committed customer will go direct back to the exchange via blown fibre/dedicated fibre pair.
My dad said the stars in Raja Ampat were incredible — he was on a dive trip there, and was really out in the middle of nowhere at night on a boat.

My girlfriend and I had a similar experience at Volcanoes National Park in Hawaii. We went to see some of the active lava flows a couple years ago. The park is open 24/7, so one night around midnight we took a walk on the side of the caldera where all you can see is the lava glow (and had no people) and the view of the sky was absolutely spectacular. The Milky Way just smacks you in the face. There’s a reason why they built telescopes on Mouna Kea!
I think the government for the most part, needs to get out of social media and treat them like TV of old.

The idea is that TV is just a medium. You can post any commercial or information you want on there and it should be up to the viewer to discern what they want to watch and believe.

Look for example at some of the drug commercials, or if you want to get nitty gritty, look at fast food commercials that have carcinogenic ingredients. This is a slippery slope and I sincerely believe it should be the responsibility of the parent, guardian or mature individual to decide what and when and where to watch content.

Agree, this feels like rage bait stats. Anyone who knows about business or at least has tried to run one understands that (typically) the higher up you are in a company, the more high-leverage decisions you make.

So, if the CEO made choices that increase profit by X multiple, bumping a single persons salary (heck even a handful of execs) by a decently high percent is very different than increasing the 10k’s of employees salaries.

Honestly, a 7% average (not even talking median) sounds pretty darn good given the size of them

Looking at the full description of the format, it includes the ability to use nested config sections with `{ ... }`, which has some obvious benefits for some use-cases. But for the complexity needed for defining cursors, I don't see the benefit of `.hl` over fdo `.desktop` configs. In fact, it looks like you could parse the hyprcursor `.hl` config files with a `.desktop` parser? Which might be more palatable for cross-desktop support?
That's very fair feedback. I've gone ahead and added a disclaimer to that effect to the README.

Do you think there's any merit to ensuring database compliance in general? My professional focus is on databases so I want the tooling to be database centric too.
I'm not speaking to consumption, I'm speaking to small talk. There's no good reason to believe there's a tight correlation there.

Americans constantly shove TV into the conversation even if they don't know that the other person or people are familiar with it. Though many are aware of American media output by virtue of the cultural colonialism enacted since brute force fell out of fashion. Even if they're not explicitly speaking about TV they're still doing the IRL version of posting reaction GIFs by quoting memes in response to earnest conversation.

This reminds me of Paul Graham's Five Questions About Language Design (https://paulgraham.com/langdes.html):

"When languages are designed for other people, it's always a specific group of other people: people not as smart as the language designer. So you get a language that talks down to you."

The same applies to these style standards. I agree with his third point in that article:

"3. Give the Programmer as Much Control as Possible."
Apple will probably do a hybrid between local and server processing. They will definitely do local where possible but some processing will still need to be done on servers. Apple just signed a deal with Super Micro for a large number of servers.

i don’t expect Apple to focus on a clone of ChatGPT or Gemini. They are more likely to use it for photo operations, control of Siri, and to make each of their apps and features work better together.
AFAIK, IBM’s powerhouse now is their patent library.

When you say ChatGPT, are you referring to GPT4? I find a huge and avoidable miscommunication happens when two people both think they are using “ChatGPT” but talking about two different models which vary in size by a factor of 10.

Assuming you are talking about GPT4, for the sake of argument, the answer is speed. Of course I can write a small parser script that deals with some data I received from a client. It will take me an hour and be a tedious task far distant from my actual expertise. An LLM can do it in 45 seconds, including the time it took me to describe the task.
There’s nothing wrong with it. That’s part of the fun of games – feeling smart and accomplished.

But it’s pretty clear and obvious (to a reasonable person) how the game works and you seem to want to just brag about how you’re clearly a better thinker and smarter than the game designer.
No question that we won't need junior developers do grunt work in the near future. I remember my first job at Google was to convert some Angular code to more recent version with TypeScript. Google paid me 2 years doing it. Today and specially in near future such jobs won't exist
I'm super excited about Sunlight. The CT ecosystem is really fragile right now, with current log implemetations being expensive to operate and very difficult to operate correctly, as evidenced by the recent failures of multiple logs[1][2]. And if too many logs fall over, it becomes infeasible to include the requisite number of SCTs in certificates, or worse, already-issued certificates can become effectively untrusted.

With Sunlight reducing costs by a couple orders or magnitude and significantly easing deployment complexity, it will be a huge boon to the whole ecosystem. I really hope log monitors begin crawling sunlight logs and browsers accept them as trusted in the near future.

With LLMs they start showing signs of brain damage once the errors get too high. In my experience it reduces their ability to reason, they stop counting correctly, and they start homogenizing categories, like calling a lemur a monkey. Compare this with quantizing weights, which instead of brain damage leads to ignorance, forcing them to hallucinate more.
I would encourage you to start looking into methods that don't gather your children's data

I think it is better to store your child's data in such a way that their files are both backed up and kept private.
Maybe they're concerned with the current limits of LLMs and hallucinations and don't want to provide a product that returns false information? Also AI is too general a term, we should be talking about specifics areas they could use specific technologies like NLP, machine learning, computer vision, etc
No it won’t. It will still be seen as 4x the price of the Quest 3.
>Some 282,000 staff were employed at IBM at the end of December 2023, and their average total compensation was $65,463, 6.89 percent higher than at the end of 2022.

Title is wrong. Average employee compensation is 6.89% higher than last year but that doesn't mean employees got 6.89% raises on average. E.g. could be that the thousands of employees they laid off had lower average salaries than remaining ones.
According to r/ibm typical raises are closer to 1-4%
