That's what finally broke by reddit addiction and relying on the Internet for advice.

There's lots of people out there that mean well and have strong opinions and state things with confidence that they don't necessary know for truth.

I recall thinking that I don't critically examine what appears to be expert input from redditors in a field I know little about, but those same voices in areas I am an expert in are almost always wrong, or nuanced in some way to make them useless. I finally drew the line and realized it wasn't just my field that had wrong "experts" it was every field.

I think the final straw was when I asked a really complex question about a aberration in my telescope in the astrophotography subreddits and got very authoritative sounding responses that were far far off base, I realized it wasn't just software engineering.

I wonder how much of it is teens and young adults without a lot of experience giving advice that's the problem here. Probably not, but something to think about. That person giving you advice on how to navigate your relationship with your spouse might be a 13 year old who's never dated anyone before.
The isotope evidence strongly implies he's wrong.
Ok, I misunderstood what you meant. I thought you meant license access to the foundry, like TSMC does.

What you're proposing is that the US stand up a semiconductor fab that can compete with Intel. That's going to be hard!

I think "use Intel technology" is a lot less practical than it might seem. After all, Intel uses ASML technology, and anyone with enough money can buy the machinery (as long as they're not based in China). Intel manufacturing tech is the sum total of all the skill and expertise of Intel's employees.
Yes, you are right. The pricing page is confusing and it does not explain clearly that all the paid plans are not needed for ACME stuff.

I am not sure if this is an oversight or done on purpose..
That's only true if we hold the population constant, and get everyone to scrunch together onto smaller lots built taller.

The main aim of density is to turn cities of a million into cities of ten million, not to just stick with a million and have birds chirping in parks everywhere you go.
An instructive image of the welfare trap: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Welfare_trap.png

People making $30K on welfare would need to make $81K at an actual job to have the same income after tax.

Well this is what Im trying to say too!
I'm glad someone brought this up. Artists, especially fan artists, will only hurt themselves if they advocate for classifying transformative works as infringing. Fan art has been so normalised that people have forgotten that it used to be considered legally dubious. Better to advocate for reskilling and social safety nets; automation affects everyone, not just them.

FWIW Most folks are animating in rive not drawing with the reduced set of tools. In their tutorials you see them demonstrating their PSD layer support, for example.
"Major" outage, impacting "ppa.launchpad.net", "assets.launchpad.net" and "a few other components" are down.
This was great, but you should have started the comment with "I'm D. Richard Hipp. You know nothing of my work."
“Narrative” would be when you use “U.S.-backed coup” to describe a president refusing to leave office legally and the U.S. working to keep him out. There’s valid criticism that the U.S. should have been more aggressive in condemning it as a coup but none of the evidence suggests that the U.S. supported a coup in violation of Honduran law. The State department cables which were leaked show their focus was on preserving aid to people until a new election.
This many people leaving and key investors resigning from the board is definitely interesting. I wonder if there's some undisclosed scandal that will break because this is pretty wild.
It's so insane they don't offer any way to export movie files. The animation IDE is decent. Nowhere near as good as Flash was. But at least let me animate in it and export movie files.

It's hilarious how so much new tech is just barely scratching the surface of what Flash offered in terms of a creative production tool. Every passive consumer fixates on Flash the plug-in and has no idea how incredible the tool was.
In Canada, they use gross income instead of net income for student grants.
Up through #3, literally the playbook for the Google Research team (minus one who took at job at OpenAI) that authored the Attention is All you Need paper.
To the north is the Black Sea, and the Russia-Ukraine war. To the east is Armenia and Azerbaijan (as well as Iran). To the south is the middle east. Also Cyprus with the frozen conflict, there.

Damn. And Channel 4 always seemed like they were the smarter guys in the room, too.
Your code may be elegant, but mine f***ing works
Intel can save a lot of money by getting rid of incompetent folks in higher management, closing a lot of projects/teams that do not add value, a lot of middle management, simplifying processes that slow down the teams that are actually doing job, changing culture where working 10hr/wk is not tolerated. They need to do some variation of what Elon did to twitter. I have seen many of these things first hand.
Apple has something that they've been putting in their hardware for years and that's neural engines. All modern Macs, iPhones, and iPads have them, and they all allow local inference which has dramatic privacy and security advantages over the Microsoft and Google models (which require you to open all your data to "the cloud").

MacOS 14.4 is a misstep (breaking Java and data backups), but I don't think it's indicative of some radical change of focus.
Intel has also been opening up their fabs to other customers in the past few months.
> It's generally believed that this is caused by a discontinuity in youth sports:

I've seen a few youth ice hockey games and by god it's just unfair; there's a kid like a foot taller than the rest. I'm kind of surprised there isn't some system that buckets kids by size , it can't be fun for the small kids to get elbowed in the neck every time they bump the tall guy.
I had to break out the paper for 3+ light bulb puzzles.

It would be great to mark which options aren't valid on the website. Maybe a checkbox UI for the more challenging puzzles? Where we can mark a checkbox for entries that aren't the right answer and choose the correct one with the dropdown?
FWIW that's from an American setting, whereas the story above was from Europe. I agree with the principle myself, but as a citation it's barely relevant.
I have done a lot in R Markdown, and the project I'm currently working on has me mostly working in Databricks notebooks (which are very similar to Jupyter notebooks). My execution gets out of order a lot more often in Databricks.
It's more than OK to lie to corporations and give them a fake name and email address. I do it every day. I've found this is the only way to actually protect your privacy.

Ah, yes. I feel it must be so, so no need for evidence and of course any evidence that exists otherwise must be false.

Paris was much better 20 years ago; sure it still smelled like pee (no idea why it was and it is such a problem in Paris and literally nowhere else) but nothing was wrong.

I've been in 2019 and that's the last time Paris will ever see me: immigrants touching you trying to sell you stuff, people defecating in front of the supermarket in broad daylight, homeless camps, I've had a drugged up homeless jumping on me.

Shame, because the bakeries are top notch.
For awhile, I was using Miro. The infinite canvas made it possible to start arranging information visually and made it easier to load things back into memory when I’d come back to a project later. I still love it, but prefer something local and less proprietary.

Currently, I’m pretty all-in on Obsidian. I don’t have a crazy setup with tons of plugins and I’m not building complex data tables or anything like that.

I use:

- Daily journal note to jot down thoughts and what I’m working on or thinking about each day

- Very actively use [[Link Syntax]] in notes to create placeholder connections to unexplored ideas or real connections to existing notes

- I use the Canvas feature to visually arrange things and love that I can embed notes into the canvas or start a local card on the canvas and later convert it to a standalone note

- I occasionally use the note graph view to see how previous journal notes cluster around specific topics. I know some people find this part of Obsidian gimmicky, but for me, it helps me find common threads and identify interrelated ideas

- I focus on creating small notes that I can grok quickly and rely on note-to-note connections to navigate larger topics

I don’t know how much of this workflow is directly applicable to Aphantasia, but the canvas feature in particular is where I feel like I get the most value in terms of visualizing what I otherwise can’t.

I also use tools like Figma/Balsamiq to get product ideas out of my head. It’s crazy how different things can be once they go from an abstract notion of “an interface that does X” to an actual drawing of an interface that does X.

If there was ever a tool like Miro that I could run locally, I’d use it extensively. Just a nice big toolbox of different ways to visualize things.
It’s similar to an old school typewriter.

I live in Southern Europe. A lot of the people I talk to (about half I would guesstimate) would rather live somewhere else but can't. Some would even prefer to move to a cheaper place but can't (work, elders, kids, mortgages, are some of the reason).
The same is happening in the UK. They've made car travel harder without making public transport any better (outside of London), which has just lowered the average person's productivity rather than making any headway into tackling the core issue of people getting from A to B quicker, cheaper, with less pollution.

They put in some heavy traffic restrictions in my local city of Oxford by closing off residential roads, forcing all traffic down "arterial" roads instead and putting parking restrictions all over the place. A year later, there are no fewer cars on the road or increased public transport usage; some local studies by the university confirmed that. People just spend more time stuck in traffic travelling longer distances.

It's like having a person with an injured leg and a missing one. Instead of giving the person a prosthesis to remove the load, they've just lopped the other off altogether, leaving them to crawl from place to place instead of hobble.
...This is the state of people living under car-dependency, not dense urbanism supported by public transit and walkable areas. Car noises stress people out, make them irritable, impact their health. Driving in traffic makes people angry/furious/insane (literally - it is not sane to pull a gun on someone driving past you but it happens). Prioritizing parking and roads is a colossal misuse of land which causes crowded public spaces; imagine if every parking lot was an additional market or park.
No isolation, no depression, definitely :)
It is, though, even if the players don't want it to be. The bug is in the rules.

Let's add to the list of disturbances: "annoyed Europeans who consider that any criticism as coming from heated Americans as if there are no selfaware Europeans"
I think Intel wants to make chips for others as well...
The equipment to manufacture rockets costs many orders of magnitude less than equipment for a FAB. It also does not get obsolete quickly.
Intel is still innovating though? What's with everyone acting like they aren't innovating just because they aren't the leading performance x86 chip manufacturer? They're still shrinking node sizes, they've entered the GPU market, they're opening up their fabs to also make chips for other companies...
The type of work does matter. If I had the choice between a low-pay office job and a low-pay physical labor job, many would pick the office.
The fact is that there are demonstrably under-specced batteries being sold. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMZuHMlRw_0&t=579s)

Is this just a case of people buying reputable batteries and selling them under their own brand name with higher specs? If so, why do these 7 manufacturers make bad batteries?

Clearly there are plenty of badly made cells out there, so I think I'm misunderstanding something.
I don't know anything about the French rental homes market but in the USA there's ample headroom in lessor profits to take a haircut without triggering the second-order effect that you hypothesized. Landlord income as a share of GDP (again, in the USA) stands at a post-War high, having increased 15x from its low around 1990.

Landlords have a huge and largely unearned cashflow and the thing about taxes is it's best to try to raise them where the money is.

@mtlynch
Yeah. It is weird. On one hand, v3 looks really good, the arch is sound, and the work is solid. On the other hand, selling Clipdrop is not a good sign (a growing startup divest is uncommon). Emad likes to talk about how they were able to retain researchers and now this, so it is hard to know what's going on.
How does an airplane "point their GPS receiver at the ground" (for an extended period of time since a combined GNSS/INS positioning solution, which is what all airliners use at this point as far as I know, will need an extended signal loss to report decreased accuracy)?
I went to go log in to see what I had left there, first off it wouldn't let me see the one review I had written, and second I'm now stuck in a "community" popup that won't let me proceed without employment info.
The WARN is great.

Something as general as KCSAN isn't necessary: it's a classic ABA problem, double checking the ->bflags value on transitions is sufficient to catch it. Like a lockdep-style thing where *_bit() are optionally replaced by helpers that check the current value and WARN if the transition is unexpected.

Using the event numbering from your patch description, such a thing would have flagged seeing UPTODATE at (2). But the space of invalid transitions is is much larger than the space of valid ones, which is why I think it might help catch other future bugs sooner.

Dunno if it's actually worth it, but I definitely recall bugs of this flavor in the past. It'll take some work to unearth them all, alas...
It's actually slightly worse: Windows defines newline as a delimiter, not a terminator. So this:

foo\nbar\n

Covid causes a lot more deaths and a lot more damage than the flu. The flu is simply unpleasant for the vast majority of those who are otherwise reasonably healthy. Covid is still doing lasting damage to such people.
To expand upon this, the majority of the complaints I see are coming from the online community where the largest part of the material seems to be based of IP/copyright violation by the artists. I've been part of multiple communities who have decided to ban AI art because of a moral clause against using other's peoples works without their permission, but yet which don't like having it pointed out that the IP holders have withheld their permission of their characters being used for unlicensed artwork.

While some of this are people practicing their artwork and I don't see any reason we should care what artwork someone practices on, this is also the general trend for artwork being sold. Go to any convention where artists sell work and look at how much artwork is sold of characters the artists do not have license to. While I think one can take a philosophical stance against the current IP laws that outlaw this, such a stance would make it quite hard to oppose the use of content in training an AI.

In short, if those making the AI stole IP to train the AI, it was stolen from a community that was fine with IP theft that benefitted them. And if the claim is that it wasn't IP theft because the law was generally tolerating it (as long as no one became so much a target they received a C&D), then unless there are some lawsuits won against the AI it would be equally allowed.

(And of course individuals will have their own philosophical stances which might be much more consistent, I'm speaking of the generalized view I have developed from overall interactions with parts of the community and as such it is not meant to be strongly prescriptive to any specific member of the community).
iPads are more hazardous than you think:

Someone's going to look back at people with urns of ashes, and think the same thing.
I think this is still just a difference in how the output is used. You're presenting text generation as factual and image generation as artistic. It could be reversed - no one will care if a fantasy story gets some in-milieu "facts" wrong, but a blueprint or architectural reference coming out of Stable Diffusion could ruin someone's year.
To be a bit pedantic, an AST is a kind of IR that represents syntactic constructs. Languages have different syntaxes so you can't really have a language agnostic syntax tree.

Consider three languages, one with binary operators but no function application, and another with only function application, and a third with both. What would the "agnostic" AST be, except a union of the AST of the first two?

The Significance of Request Deadlines
"No data" cells are grey on that map, but western Australia has a couple of red ("high interference") cells.
Where the ballpark is a good starting question. Is a cow better or worse compared to artificial fertilizers? Looking at the devastation caused by run-off from farms in the baltic ocean, there is a man made underwater desert that is constantly growing with the current size of approximately 100,000 km2. Those dead zones (as they are called), lead to massive death of all aquatic organisms.

If we talking about fairness, food should be sustainable and not causing massive harm to the environment. That seems however to be outside the ballpark of what people consider possible. The question is then where we should start.
I think the consumer electronics industry will need to be heavily regulated to move away from consumable electronics before we see any meaningful change.

Electronics will need to be open so both the hardware and software can be repaired and maintained by others than the vender.
Use Legacy Lines of Code to Estimate Software Rewrites
You can get rough areas with a GPS and a RTLSDR and a bunch of samples (either over time OR with lots of people with the same device)

But to get fine granular data, you need a timestamping SDR. (each parcel of signal data for a quantum of data needs an exact time down to 6-8 significant figures, basically GPS timebase).

Most your cheaper SDRs cant do that.

Stuff like the BladeRF and higher do provide timestamped data.
Rapidly execute a series of maneuvers (flips, rolls) that cause the radios to lose signal.
Hm. Went to see if I have some long-forgotten account—yep! Try to deactivate account… but it’s been so long since I logged in that they won’t let me do anything until I answer a bunch of stupid questions including giving them my name.

Sigh.

[edit] it said the name would be used for “verification” (?!?!) but a fake name worked long enough to let me disable the account, anyway.
Yeah, but for a while it seemed we'd gotten over that, and in the "modern era" people were just talking about ML. Nobody in 2012, as best I can recall, was referring to AlexNet as "AI", but then (when did it start?) at some point the media started calling everything AI, and eventually the ML community capitulated and started calling it that too - maybe because the VC's wanted to invest in sexy AI, not ML.
This is suspiciously similar to `gpsjam.org`. It's useful, for sure, and it does use readily-available ADS-B data that FR24 (and ADSBExchange) uses anyway, but the data viz is just eerily similar.

Then again, I'm not very GIS/geodesy minded, so maybe hexagons are the best shape that'll tessellate over a sphere easily.

Was this work in any meaningful way inspired by GPSjam? If yes, it'd be nice to have an acknowledgement in there.
Technically even just removing a warrant canary immediately could put you at legal risk in the USA. The non-risky way is to update the canary $date every $timeperiod and then stop updating $date after an attack. That way nothing is changed to indicate but it still becomes obvious by lack of update after $timeperiod.
It may well have been the scanner that crashed, I was working at a startup and had about a million other things to deal with so I didn't dig into it very long, I just switched to wasm and kept going. (Of course, the wasm bindings are subtly different and similarly lacking in type definitions, so that bit me down the road as well...).

But in general, I'd have to argue that if your "very stable" software requires interfacing with very unstable external tools to work with a very popular language... eliminating that dependency is certainly an area for improvement!

I suspect Ryujinx does a better job outright condemning piracy in their discourse, so there's less for Nintendo to pounce on.
It really doesn't matter - show me a DEI scheme that has actually had success and didn't revert to saying "it's the funnel"
As an exercise, I did one two years ago for pi-forall. That had a small scanner for the off-sides stuff. I lost steam after I got it working (and needed to add a bunch of rules). I think I was mainly trying to see if I could get tree-sitter to do off-sides (haskell-like indentation).

One issue that I remember was the web application to test the grammar needed an exact version of the emscripten stuff. And I had to sort out what that version was myself.
> I'm starting to actively loathe header images

Header or “hero” images were always a bad idea. With or without AI.
Same here. I'm 100% sure I've added at least three Glassdoor reviews over the years, but after logging in, none are visible in my account.

I'm not sure if they got removed in their entirety, or if Glassdoor just disconnected them from my profile.
