Doesn't matter. If the app has to render them then it can still send them to the server. If the app does not render directly it can still infer them by doing collision testing against them. If it can't even check for collisions then there isn't much point in having the data in the first place.

It gets worse. The more you want AR/MR to understand the scene the more fine grained data you need. The camera sees things like: the underwear you left on the floor, the medicines/pills on your table, the posters on your wall, the bank account browser tab still on your computer screen, the adult toys you forgot to put away, your undressed body, your dressed body, your political baseball cap or t-shirt, your naked roommate/spouse/kids who just walked into the room.

I don't see how this can be solved in a trust-less way. In other words, you'll have to trust each and every individual AR/MR app you use, that they aren't spying on you. The platform/device/OS itself can not prevent this and still allow the majority of the AR/MR uses that people imagine.
Okay, this is amazingly cool.
The comment I replied to implied that they have their own large index equivalent to Google's and so don't need to use Google. It's not true, and I bet you would find that a very significant portion of the search results come directly from Google queries behind the scenes.

the platonic ideal of a perfect manager grows a culture where if people have issues with other developers, or the organization, or is just stuck, they naturally reach out to other people. I fail to understand this model where 'blockers' are some kind of hidden disease that a manger needs to actively ferret out. in fact, in healthy organizations I've worked in..the whole notion of a blocker doesn't really exist. its more like 'I talked to this person and we decided that they should merge an earlier version of their work, because otherwise I'm not going to be able to start for another 3 weeks and that totally blows our schedule'

and that ideal manager has a much better and multidimensional idea of performance over time than commit rate.

the platonic ideal of manager isn't some kind of school marm whose primary concern is figuring out when people are slacking off

Adding one pixel at any level is the equivalent of adding me or infinite numbers of pixels, smaller and smaller levels. However, I think if you add in the pixel in a empty space at its level, it would simply disappear. I don't think it would cause any havoc. But, this is not an actual game of life. This is a PNG of many steps in a game of life. The computation power for actually making it a real game of life would be pretty big.

Let's assume that for some reason attaching sensors/stimulatirs to the coccyx area lets us control tail like robots. Then the sensors could be attached in that area, and the actual tail could be mounted anywhere else, perhaps even remote to the astronaut's body.

I'm not sure that I buy that first assumption though. Measuring signals might be possible, and it might be possible to learn how to move the tail based on signals produced during conscious attempt to move the tail. But I don't see how it would be possible to send signals back to the brain.

I personally think that the Apple anti-trust is being pushed due to their privacy stance.

Apple looked at the pen register cases and realized the best position to be in as a third party is to not possess usable data.

The US case from my point of view is trying to fore Apple to share user data with third parties.

Agreed, a lot of the behavior looks like that. But if we ask why we want them to build a browser, would you agree that privacy+security+freedom+democracy online are the main reasons we have?

If so, then would you say much of their current messaging has the right idea?

Would you also say that we've seen genuine progress (and also regression resistance) in that direction with the browser?

Personally, I'd say yes to all those. Two things that I don't understand are what one executive was getting paid, and some of their decisions during that executive's tenure, for a long time.

One guess is that some people were letting it be run like a tech company, and furthermore a tech company coasting along in some ways without being very effective. And that would have to be multiple people, since everyone answers to someone. If that guess were accurate, then not only do you have to ask the watchers why that was allowed to happen, and figure out how to fix that, but you also have to look for cascading effects within the organization from that having gone on.
It did look like there was some sort of object tracking indicator in the video feed afaict but could easily be added in post-production.

You can imo see RF jamming of the fpv feed when the drone approaches the tank, quite interesting. Probably what neccesassites the automated terminal attacks.

Imo it doesn't matter how sophisticated the tech is, if it works with a meaningful success rate than it's quite an effective weapon against a multi-million rubel tank.
Perhaps your assumption that stepper motors are the first solution to any motion problem speaks more about your lack of resourcefulness than the ingenuity of another solution.

This is because for some reason human teeth are just so bad / unfit for the current use profile.

I've probably went to a dentist 30 times or so, whereas I've only been to all other kinds of health care 5-10 times over the same time range, combined. So putting them in the same basket would be untenable for one or the other. Like if you had to go to your car dealership for gas refill. Or if you expected your warranty to also cover gas.

Another disastrous area is eyesight, but since you cannot really fix it, you go to doctors about it just as much.

I've also been living for almost 40 years now and the science has yield surprisingly few fruit in those two areas.

Perhaps you don't have some OpenAI paid shit?

While you can clunk around in a sort of OpenAI playground in a web tab, it is designed for dev experimentation (a "fiddler" type of UI), and not a good experience for much beyond testing.

> excuse me you fuck did you not just tell me you are "local first" ... I try out the model, and it turns out it runs on my CPU with heavy RAM usage...

I'm not sure it makes sense to have both of these objections at once.

Oh.
If Google was smart, they would use their existing ranking systems to find the highest quality creators and pay them to do this. Instead, they’ll probably train an LLM on SEO’d blogspam and call it a day.
> People who are skeptical of AI won't like it of course.

Very few (if any) are sceptical of ‘AI’. They are usually sceptical (and rightly so) of LLMs. They’re very different things.

Do we not run the risk of it simply being the case that Dilithium is the best TLS compatible algorithm for signatures we're going to get for a while? Then the question becomes: does a rodent of unusual size cough large, fault tolerant quantum computer...actually exist?

I think the answer is probably no, but if I understand attacks against the current Web PKI, it's not like an attacker would sit on the wire running Shor's algorithm in real time. The work to make a MITM attack possible would be done ahead of time, (e.g. running Shor's algorithm against a Ed25519 public key to find the private scalar) then the attack proceeds as normal.

Which is to say, if they[0] can make it work at all, they can start cracking keys and MITM attacks on connections become a reality. Does that mean that we should implement Dilithium? I don't know, but I also don't know if we should sit on our hands until something better comes along.

> Mox is nothing more than a kludge to get around the limitations of the language and I think there are much less invasive kludges available.

You're definitely using or setting up mox wrong. Mox is incredibly good: it lets you do things in elixir that you definitely can't do in other languages: concurrently running tests with different mocks.
> flood of money going into building new models

In my experience, there really hasn't been that significant of a flood of money in this space for several years now, or at least not to the level I've seen based on discussion here on HN.

I think HN tends to skew towards conversations around models for some reason, but almost all my peers are either funding or working on either tooling or ML driven applications since 2021.

-------

I've found HN to have a horrible noise to value signal nowadays, and people with experience (eg. My friends in the YC community) deviating towards Bookface or in person meetups instead now.

There was a flood of new accounts in the 2020-22 period (my hunch is it's LessWrong, SSC, and Reddit driven based on the inside jokes and posts I've been seeing recently on HN) but they don't reflect the actual reality of the industry.
I'd assume someone suffering from this condition has spent time and money on doctors to address it, suggesting that they're being earnest about their experiences and perceptions versus someone taking a researcher for a ride.

I'd also assume that they were referred by a doctor who is both familiar with the patient and with research into the condition.
The wings are doing a lot more work than the tail in that situation. For quick rotations in 3D, gyroscopic forces would probably be better to utilize than a tail
no, in my case only when the Migrations/ folder changes (you can specify that in .gitlab-ci.yml or using come commandline-fu). I'm using EF core as an ORM, thats why it is also easy to create an empty SQLite DB from the sources.
Well deserved in my mind. Nvidia has been pushing the use of AI chips for far to long. The literally did everything possible to make it happen.

I believe LLMs will be commoditised while the compute power will be the next big thing.

Funnily enough the paper you are citing has that quote but they cite another paper. The paper they cite says “It has been suggested that perhaps as little as 8% of dental care is justified…” and cites two more papers.

How is this acceptable in academic research? Nobody is citing the primary source and everybody is citing interpretations of some source that I can’t find the text of (probably because I’m on mobile).

tl;dr your citation is worthless through no fault of your own.

I was really interested in this spiral Wirtz Pump

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCxRHueX6jQ

So if one were to combine a wirtz pump with a tesla valve, you might be able to eliminate the the air gaps in the tube. One thing would be cool too - is that you could easily use the tesla valves to merge fluids wihtout risking back-mixing ocurring at the confluence point - and you could direct fluids from any direction without fearing gravity fucking with your flow (tesla-valve-pipes may be really useful in weightless space?

I wonder if you could print flexible materials with this 3D printing method, and you could make a spiraling tesla-valve small tubing.

if you have micro versions, you could use the confuence points to mix proteins/amino-acids to stemcells in very precise amounts to determine which affect a certain expression from the stem cells.

(there was a researcher at UCSF who was doing this - sans tesla valves... and that was 10+ years ago...)

It's no more cheating than the fact that 1 = 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/16 + ...

Despite the fact that you can never actually add up an infinite number of terms one by one, you can however, compute what the limit of the sum will be in a finite amount of time. The same principle applies to this simulation, in which it is computing the limit of the process.

Hmm... Consider the Pacific Northwest. The difference between coastal Washington state and eastern Washington is tremendous. Seattle gets around 39 inches (~1 meter) of precipitation per year. Spokane gets less than half that. This is almost entirely due to a natural "dehumidifier". If the Cascades weren't there, there'd be much less disparity.

And yeah, there's energy input, but it comes from the sun and no one has to pay anything for it.

I tried to write a mandlebrot plotter in FXYT. There are a number of challenges! First FXYT only provides a bounded loop - this can be overcome with a bit of inefficiency.

However the deepest stack manipulation allowed is 3 values - the R command (Rotate the three values at the top of the data stack) which makes things supremely awkward. It could do with an PICK instruction (duplicate the n-th on the stack). However as an old FORTH programmer you always knew were getting into trouble if you used PICK.

Despite these limitations I did figure out how to write a mandlebrot plotter. Alas it runs into an iterations limit if the depth is > 7, so here is a very low-res mandlebrot made with FXYT!
