I'm married to a suburb-loving wife and kids who've only ever experienced the suburb existence. I glare in disdain at the memory of the younger me who never dared to move to a bigger city for a couple years to experience the city life in a tiny apartment, because I think I would've liked it quite a lot!
Amazon ditches cashierless checkout system at its grocery stores
I worked hard at the start of my 20's enduring long commutes, terrible cars, and entry level paychecks until I could afford to live in an American city. And that still required having a roommate to make rent. Even if I could have afforded it at the time, I wouldn't recommend living alone in the city for your first few years until you're well-adjusted. And geez, imagine going through quarantine alone in a city you don't know.
Dunno, seems too amateur. An intelligence agency should be able to come up with more plausible sockpuppet names and email addresses even if in this case it didn't matter.
That’s the one! Thanks for coming up with the name.
I have seen references to this but I am constantly confused by how this is actually a thing.

There was a video I watched that stated that in some situations 2 identical clocks that are in perfect working order, that if one of them was on a ship and doing certain things (that is purposefully vague since I don't remember) that if that ship came back to earth it would have a different time.

It is one of those things that really boggles my mind, even though it fascinates the hell out of me. If you have any resources to read or watch on this (the video I watched was space time I think) I would love it.
> Who does this? This wasn't in the article, do you mean yourself or did you read that somewhere else? I wouldn't get nervous about it.

Sorry, I thought this was more common knowledge; I guess not.

It was sufficiently widespread that SNL did a skit/ad based on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zS9U3Gc832Y
How many moon metres equate to 10 space football fields?
Is it just me, or is the headline terrible? They don't want the moon to have its own timezone; they want it to have its own time standard.

i.e. CLT (which will probably end up being LTC for the same reason that UTC is neither TUC or CUT) replaces UTC for lunar operations and any putative lunar timezones would be offsets from that.

I haven't embraced devcontainers specifically, but I've standardized on putting all apps in Docker Compose for a few years now.
Recently I've been using iAPresenter [1], which lets you build presentations using Markdown. I actually use it to create branded PDF proposals for clients and it makes life much easier than having to use Google Slides, Keynote or Powerpoint. The philosophy of iAPresenter (and iAWriter) is more about minimizing distractions, but the side effect is that you end up in control of your files too.

Another tangential example is Dropshare [2], a Mac app for sharing files. You can plug in your own backend (S3, Backblaze etc.) and domain and have your own branded file sharing service, while "controlling" your files (although they are obviously still hosted on a 3rd party server)

Goals aren't results. Maybe gaussian splatting will be the wave of the future and in 10 years it'll be the only graphics tech around.

In the meantime, if it isn't, it will hardly be the first promising new graphics technology to turn out to be completely unsuited for all the things people hoped for.

Most of what you linked to appears to correspond to what I intuitively described as them being an output format rather than useful directly; the last paper appear to go in the other direction to extract information from them but again doesn't function on the splats directly. The actual work isn't being done in the gaussians themselves, and the interesting results are precisely in what is not being done through the splats... but pointing that out explicitly that's not how you get funding nowadays. Two otherwise-identical proposals, but one that sings the praises of the buzzwords while the other is phrased to be critical of it, will have very different outcomes.
I'm all for demanding as much open source as possible, but I'm not aware of any big company releasing the source for their firmware. Intel who has often been hailed as the paragon of open source is not releasing the firmware of their ( less capable) cards, nor are they releasing the microcode to their CPUs (neither is AMD).

Open source drivers with closed source Firmware is still much better than the closed source mess we have with Nvidia
> that the developer doesn’t harm someone themselves

The harm in question is causing the backdoor to be inserted in the first place. Its irrelavent what else you do, like selling it, although that could be a separate crime.

> The point about MIT is that they are saying to the world when publishing “as is” folks. Not claiming I haven’t backdoored it for Uncle Sam.in fact I’m not claiming anything, use at your own risk.

Just because you think that is what those words mean, doesn't mean that is what those words actually mean.

> It used to be the law to implicitly do this by weak encryption for exports.

Not comparable. Even now, the MIT license would probably protect you from any consequenes of using super weak encryption. It would not protect you from the hypothetical you setup. They are very different sutuations.

Exactly. This is the reason at one point I stopped being invited to casual poker games with friends of friends.

0.02 seconds per year is about 55,000 nanoseconds per day, which is kind of a big deal as far as the high precision CPU timers are concerned.
This has been my analysis of high level competition as a whole. It isn't about who is the best, as in peak performance. It is about consistently making the least amount of mistakes.

The only pre-punched paper we had when I was a kid was the notebook paper that was a required purchase on the school supply list. I remember using that as a template for punching holes in paper with a hole punch (since the fancy three-hole punch was something that only existed in the admin wing of our high school).
I don’t think that’s a good argument against the original point. You’re essentially relying on PEPs to protect you against something you shouldn’t have done and which was eminently avoidable in the first place.

> Surely the future human being would have ways to detect nuclear waste before digging around

Technology doesn't inevitably progress. Its certainly possible that we lose even relatively simple nuclear detection technology (e.g. a Geiger counter) in the future (or fail to deploy it - I wonder how many construction sites have a radiation check performed?)

And I believe, if we had an idea nuclear waste store, we'd not be able to detect it - i.e. the excess radiation outside of the store would be comparable to natural variation between locations on the earth.

How would you? Periodic leap seconds, or redefine the second (which would have impacts on many other units of measurements derived from it – are you prepared to also introduce lunar meters, for example)?
I’m glad things are plateauing because when I suggested this could happen I was written off as an idiot. People just kept pointing to the leap from GPT 2 to GPT 3 and GPT 3 to GPT 4 and extrapolating that clearly progress will be exponential forever, some of those people were on this very site.
In fact, there was no issue with Lasse Collin maintaining xz as a single individual, and creating a false impression to the contrary was the primary tactic used by the antagonist to gain access to the project.

I believe that the issue is that graphic cards require really fast memory. This requires close memory placement (that's why the memory is so close to the core on the board). expandable memory will not be able to provide the required bandwidth here.
You will never know if it was intentional or not, unless the IDF wants to admit it.

As far as I am aware, ROCm itself has been open since its release in 2016. Whatever they were trying to convey will have little impact on ROCm being a valid competitor. Frankly, AMD should just trash ROCm and go all in on Intel's oneAPI. AMD seems helpless on software and reports are Google and Qualcomm have interest in pushing oneAPI.
It depends a bit on how far out the civilization is, since even what's now high-level waste will decay over time, but there do exist some speculative reactor designs intended to be powered by reprocessed waste - with output in the single-digit megawatt range, granted, but a megawatt just where you want it is nothing to sneer at.

The thought does appeal, on the whole: archaeologists and engineers working side by side, the former chronicling the deep and long-dead human past through its garbage, before the latter haul it away to melt down and rebuild into a new human future. There's a story in that, I think.

Right, and I am not being critical of the technology to diminish this achievement. It is a great achievement.

But it feels like we have moved so far past it being "just" an "LLM" to already considering it a general purpose AI when it just simply isn't.

The problem is it fakes it enough, in enough situations, that a lot of people seem to come to the conclusion it is.
Stability AI reportedly ran out of cash to pay its cloud GPU bills
I am an AI researcher working for a small company. When ChatGPT came out and people started to solve all sort of problems with prompting, I questioned my role and reasoned that in future middle-level researches will lose their jobs and if I want to stay in this business I have to upgrade my skills and possibly start publishing papers and get a PhD. Since in future only big tech companies would do research in AI and many automation problems of small companies would be solved with foundation models. And the competition for research jobs at big companies would be very tight.
The way it generally works IME is that if I want someone's data I better have my own thumb drive to get it, and if somebody wants mine they better have their own.

I suspect that navies are no longer viable as weapons platforms, but are still viable as force projections that can move across water.

Since we don’t yet have aircraft of comparable size and weapons/personnel capacity that can loiter and be on patrol without refuelling for days or weeks on end, we need to rely on navies to be the platforms our forces operate from. Their current design is a holdover and needs reworking to adapt to new combat environments, but I doubt we’ll see them vanishing any time soon due to a lack of adequately functional replacements.
Sure. I understand that aspect. But “potential” doesn’t pay the rent/mortgage/food/car/utilities/daycare/auto insurance/health insurance.

Reading the first few paragraphs gives a vibe that this is purposefully written to bash on suburbs once more. Your takeaway is correct, as city living can be absolutely terrible, it usually is for most people in most cities, the "answer" lies in the middle of the road between downtown and suburb and the "question" is -- as always -- money.

America is in a place where people can actually make it happen as turning a suburb in a 15-min city is much easier than turning an existing city into a livable space that is not a crime-ridden concrete dystopia.

> In order to successfully accomplish a laser guided strike it is necessary for a platform, such as a drone, to “illuminate” the target with a laser while the missile is launched. In order to achieve accurate targeting, platforms which take part in this kind of targeting, such as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles or fast jets, are equipped with advanced optics and sensor pods. These are capable of extremely high optical magnification. This is notable because at least one of the vehicles clearly bears the logo of World Central Kitchen on the roof. It is likely these markings would have been visible from above when the strike was carried out, although this depends on the capability of the optic used to track the vehicle.

Francis Scott Key Bridge: future engineers can better protect the public
Urbanists apparently want to force people to live shoulder-to-shoulder. As soulless as suburbs can be, they should be recognized as attempts to escape having to interact with people, especially strangers, on a constant basis, which is a great stressor for humans. Humans are not built to live in cities; village or rural life is better for us, and it would pay dividends in all sorts of ways — mental & physical health, to name a couple — to develop and encourage those ways of living instead of urban or suburban life.

> I don't see why Whites are supposed to be all that different.

I guess in theory they're not. In practice, pushback would liken a race-based group of white people to the famous negatively valence'd ones from history(KKK, Nazi, etc) and it would never be allowed to form(Especially at a place like Harvard).
pip + venv with requirements.txt is 90% of the way there. the bare minimum most people need on top of this is some form of lockfile. without this, builds are not reproducible. it's frustrating to ask users to install an extra tool (like poetry or whatever) when python comes with almost everything. at least `pyproject.toml` is standardized in a PEP, so you don't have to force users to choose a specific tool to resolve it.

The judge hasn't made a decision yet on the case, they simply refused to throw the case out. All that shows is that the judge believes there's a not-insignificant chance that CA Forever wins.

That said, the evidence cited seems pretty damning:

> Those messages have been shared in court, including text messages from one land owner to another saying that they shouldn’t allow California Forever developers to engage in “bullying the last of the property owners.” The same land owner asserted that the “remaining property owners should be in agreement on what we would want to sell our properties” so that California would be unable to “play owners against owners.”
I think a ban could make sense in very specific areas. I live in salt lake which has horrendous pollution problems. There are many causes for the pollution and we'll have to work through them all, but it wont be solved without pretty much getting rid of gas cars. A ban on selling gas cars specifically in the salt lake valley would show all the residents how serious we are about solving the problem, and people who really want one can still go get one somewhere else.

> Objectively meaningless

I think that's your issue. In isolation, maybe you think it's objectively meaningless. But if that were true in life and society, you would not see such drastic statistical significance between men and women. For example, wouldn't you expect murders, suicides, pay, life expectancy, etc etc to be a 50/50 split if gender is objectively the same?

I don't know for sure, but I imagine your star sign or whatever is not a significant predictor of anything. But being a man or woman is a significant predictor in many things.
We use Svelte along with LiveView in BeaconCMS. There are certainly good use cases for wanting something that has more granular control of the UI on the client but I would caution teams from just going all-in on Svelte + LV for all things. Even with Phoenix using LiveView isn't always the answer as sometimes dead render pages are perfectly fine. Don't all-or-nothing everything.

As the article points out there are some good use cases for deviating from the 'LiveView Way'. I would argue that if you have 1,000ms round trips then there is something else to consider but geographically located servers could be unavailable to your team for a number of reasons (i.e. cost) so adding some client-side state management could be your solution.
