The real rate of inflation is higher than what they say it is. Some products have gotten cheaper due to outsourcing but almost everything that matters (education, health care, housing) has exploded in price over the last 20 years. So has the money supply.

If you want more honest numbers, try https://www.shadowstats.com/alternate_data/inflation-charts

Realistically, prices are up 40% since the pandemic alone. That's a lot less than 20 years.

Not to be an ass, but if you weren't an adult in 2004, your opinion on this is going to be unduely skewed by propaganda I'm afraid. Not every old person has such a clear view of things either but having lived back then sure makes a big difference in perspective. Idk how anyone with basic number sense who has shopped for anything like a normal person can think inflation is less than 10% per year.
The premise here is that the AI is operating at the behest of someone else.

Now suppose that it's open source and runs on your own device. "It will learn when your ADHD medication typically starts wearing off and you're more prone to act impulsively" and then avoid presenting you with purchasing decisions at those times etc. It will digest both ad-laden blogspam and human psych research papers so it can present the information you want stripped of the manipulative context in which it was originally presented.

It has to be a user agent and not a corporate agent or we're all screwed.
You can find, and message, anyone.

You can search and filter people by their position in the company, linkedin habits, industry, profession, career history, etc.

You can decide what your ideal client looks like, search for that, and then find and message them
You don’t even have to do that. You can just ask a simple question when presented some media: “who benefits?” This line of thinking can help you reliably deduce the intentions of many pieces of advertisement and propaganda. To just accept the firehose as it is, is to suck from it as its owners intend. Just take a step back and ask why. Logic will reveal the ground truth.

A last-minute decision to be married before a baby is born. Being married can simplify other bureaucracy if the mother dies or is incapacitated.
> Pray tell, what else do we do?

How about we start pushing back a bit?

How about governments start using web pages again instead of Twitter and Facebook for communication? How about we start re-employing people rather than forcing everything into digital apps that disfranchises whole swathes of the population? How about we drive credit card fees to zero with legislation so that we stop disincentivizing cash?

This isn't just about AI. Tech, in general, has been actively harmful to people for a while now, and they're waking up to it. AI is just a nice centralized boogeyman for the moment.
I wrote a blog post comparing Cody to Copilot a little while ago. Some of the stuff might be outdated now, but I think it still captures the essence of the differences between the two. Obviously I'm a little biased as I work for Sourcegraph, but I tried to be as fair as one could be. Happy to dive deeper into any details.

https://sourcegraph.com/blog/copilot-vs-cody-why-context-mat...

Our biggest differentiators are context, choice, and scale. We've been helping developers find and understand code for the last 10 years and are now applying a lot of that to Cody in regards to fetching the right context. When it comes choice, we support multiple LLMs and are always on the lookout in supporting the right LLM for the job. We recently rolled out Claude 3 Opus as well as Ollama support for offline/local inference.

Cody also has a free tier where you can give it a try and compare for yourself, which is what I always recommend people do :)

On Neovim, Cody actually does have experimental support for neovim: https://sourcegraph.com/docs/cody/clients/install-neovim. Not all features are supported as in VS Code though.

Exactly, I mean, if climate change was actually impacting anyone, people with skin in the game would be adjusting to it. Especially insurance companies, who can only make a profit if their models accurately assess risks. Obviously it's all bullshit since no insurance companies are pulling out of states, reducing coverage, or increasing premiums in states disproportionately affected by catastrophic weather events.

Well, except for the ones that are doing exactly that.

> The question is "when?

I'd say within this year already. Some major parts like explicit sync are being merged already. And all future work (like HDR) will only go to Wayland. Not to X11.

So this claim that X11 is a viable option is a fallacy.
This is actually how EfficientNet trains, using random truncation of the network during training. It does just fine... The game is that each layer needs to get as close as it can to good output, improving in the previous activation quality.
True but that’s less of a factor because the two species don’t have a lot of geographic overlap.

Number of flights, number of people, total payload weight, total gross weight, total delta-v/kg, revenue ... there's a lot of ways to measure %.

Fwiw, I was counting satellite costs in my napkin math, where 30b seems reasonable. And I wasn't counting only spacex. There's obviously clearly zero chance there's even 0.001% of the number of space astronauts a year as there are people who flew, and I just refuse to believe anyone would actively be making that claim, so it seemed logical to me to search for better things to assess that space flight seems like it might possibly perhaps be 10% of.
Worth to mention that there is a condition called HPPD (hallucinogen-induced perception disorder), causing people to see CEVs/OEVs while not on drugs. The condition persists for a while (for some people, months or even years) after a drug use, as the name would imply, causing annoyance and anxiety.

Surely its a spectrum, but seeing closed eye visuals isn't considered "being in a normal part of the spectrum" though.

> Further, it's not even clear that this kind of program is practically possible on Wayland.

It's pretty clear. But some are too stuck up to even research it or be part of shaping it. Which is common among legacy vendors who very rarely even care to communicate with Wayland developers about their needs.

Those who aren't stuck up deal with it just fine (OBS Studio for example).

I don't think virtual memory existed on the 360. The unofficial OS provided to some important customers dissatisfied with the nightmare delays in OS/360 was CM/CMS. Maybe the CM/CMS command line experience was already rather similar, I don't know.

Virtual memory did not even exist in the first S/370 models, that was a slightly later feature.

I know Germany has this reputation and Germany can be very efficient at times. But the vast majority of the time Germany is anything but efficient.

The Administration is particularly bad. Most of the time, they're understaffed and digital infrastructure is completely lacking most of the places. Then, in many cases, there is also a ping-pong in terms of responsibilities. Sometimes your stuff is bouncing between different levels of administration (thank you federalism) and sometimes its between different departments. Its not unheard of that you have to provide the same data in different forms for the different departments working for the same agency.

The amount of time I have spend waiting in line to do something as simple as renewing my Perso (national ID) or requesting a passport. When I moved two years ago, I spent 4 hours waiting in line to sign a form stating that I moved here. Waiting for the passport was a similar waiting game (and that is as a German-born citizen, I can't begin to imagine how bad it is when you're also concerned with residency and visa stuff).

German companies love to complain about the bureaucracy of the government, but are effectively replicating that same bureaucracy without any need.

So no, most interactions aren't efficient unfortunately

I really get tired of the old world bullshit, especially regarding share capital. It seems it was more useful as a form of Proof of Stake to support old isolated currencies that doesn't have much relevancy in a monetary union.

But I'm glad Luxembourgh, Estonia and others do things that mirror new world novelties, while remaining easier to bank in the EU with than non-EU entities, and look familiar to EU residents.
If you read the German version of the Wikipedia article you linked, you'll find that this concept is rarely, and I mean _rarely_ applied by courts. It is also case law, which is exceedingly rare in German law. You're going to have a hard time arguing for it's application in court.

Regardless, most laws around incorporation in Germany are a deterrent to any founder, I agree, but I honestly think we don't want this as a society. German culture is about work, and working for _someone_, not starting your own business.

I agree it could, and should be easier, at the same time you won't change a system that evolved from medieval trade guilds.

"was first introduced to Marmite by way of Twiglets. "

As a Vegemite addict, I find Twiglets (despite the Marmite) compulsively addictive. Fortunately, they're hard to find over here, hence my addiction is under control.

BTW, I also like Marmite but not as much a Vegemite. When I was a kid, we had both at home, my mother favored Marmite, and as the ad goes, the rest of us were happy little Vegemites: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LZF3FBh-n_8
If Gmail had decided to care about it, the experience in email might be nice too (or at least for Gmail users). But instead it wants to be able to read it to suggest calendar events etc.

i.e. WhatsApp and Signal care about UX and mainstream adoption. Nothing like that for email has tried to do PGP.
A very good summary. There's also more Nazis in America than in Germany, and more far-right hatred in general.

Simple. Better to keep gold rather than US Dollars.

Day by day the USD loses value. That's why gold has 'risen'. You just need more of today's weaker dollars to buy an ounce of gold than you did a month ago.

Same thing for your groceries at the supermarket. You need more of today's weaker dollars to buy a jar of coffee than you did a month ago.
That's great. But doesn't the whole concept of E2E test mean that you use real environment without mocking the components?
Randall Munroe's partner was diagnosed with cancer a while (10+ years) and there has been several comics and blogs about it over the years.

After actually reading the article, if US launches require using US ATC/airspace management resources, then having space companies offset some of that cost is reasonable. If they go elsewhere, they aren’t using that infrastructure anyways, so no need to offset it.
Many years ago, I did component level repairs for everything from Data General memory cards to PC 5150 memory. The problem with the built in solder suckers is that it's easy to damage the pads when you have a tiny trace that you're putting a metal nozzle over. Solder flux and desoldering wick is much safer, and sometimes you will get better results by adding solder, then using wick to pull it out. Adding new solder helps heat the pins up with more surface area.
the change from docker classic swarm into current docker swarm happened years ago. from what I can tell, usage-wise there are not much difference between the two.

however the sad thing is currently swarm is held by other company (mirantis) after being sold by docker inc. and the new company doesn't seem that invested in improving swarm. you could say its in life support now save for a few community contribution

This gets to why I think AI will be the ultimate technology. Intelligence is what allows us to tap into the secrets of the universe and bend it to our will. Being able to create it is both terrifying and exciting.

If you can collect data, you can apply intelligence to it. Patterns and statistical associations are everywhere, and at various levels of scope and complexity. The situation you're describing is very possible with future AI technology, and a baby form of it is already manipulating us wherever we go on social media.

Yup that's pretty much the idea.

yes and it's very cool! if you're interested in learning, i'd look into the filtering approach.

maybe could try pyfda and the filtering functions in scipy.signal to start playing around.

or if you have access to matlab it has some really excellent filter design tools.

regarding the hardware/dsp: many cpus include simd instructions these days, which basically are an interface to a hidden digital signal coprocessor. :)
> I took the photo below less than one minute before totality in 2019, when the sun was reduced to a mere sliver in the sky, and in the photo it's still... well, kind of sunny.

When I saw the 2017 eclipse, I noticed that the Sun was quite dim about 15 minutes before and after totality that that photo doesn't quite capture. It was like the dying embers of a fire, except the light was yellowish instead of red-orange.
Ye olde squares are rectangles logic might apply here. Free open source software is a thing. Proprietary is the product of capitalists, yes, but not all techies are capitalist as proven by releasing FOSS.

Would it be possible to simply tilt the camera at the same apparent rate as the ground is moving?

according to Scottish comedian Billy Connolly, Whoppie Goldberg once said that "Vegemite tastes like licking a cat's arse". Although Connolly hasn't asked her about her research.

I personally don't understand the war between marmite and vegemite. Nor the craze about reducing the salt. They are both an acquired taste but really staple food once you get used to it. I wouldn't want to start a day without marmite (or vegemite) on some hot buttered toast.

To my knowledge, X hasn't had a recent history of not blocking posts/accounts that actively incite violence.

What's weird to me is that the Brazilian court would prevent them from sharing (or even telling them why) the posts should be blocked, which accounts should be blocked, etc...

If you go to subreddits like r/Brasil you'll see people actively cheering the government's decision. These people want to be censored and have a massive hate boner for billionaires.

Seriously, go take a read at the subreddit. Even if you disagree with me on the judge's decisions for some of the accounts, you'll be shocked at how little nuance there is in the Brazillian community (who should be aware of how thin the line they're walking on is).

That said, he said two specific relationships with real people that I know, by name, and you know what? He’s telling it like it was in those cases.

The least real thing about this is that, reading carefully, the only antagonists are the occasional grant committee members who reject him. To me, in real life, fine artists are quite opinionated and tend to beef with a lot of people; or have no opinions, and are pigeonholed into doing the same exact thing that once, long ago, got them an audience, over and over again. Andrew does not belong to this latter group.
Something is off if you're seeing behavior like that, 0.1-0.15 with MiniLM L6 V3 are good for "has any relevancy whatsoever"
I think the ability to effortlessly deploy updates is the main reason. Why agonize over the quality for months when you can simply release the product before it's ready, then use the actual money you've made to fund fixing it, and roll out the fix with nary a hiccup? And if people didn't like it enough to pay for it in a slightly broken state, they probably don't really want the fixed version either, so when no one buys it you have enough signal to know not to invest time in fixing the buggy bits.

I'll tell you this, I'm so glad I have been able to play Helldivers for the last couple of months instead of waiting for it to release while they work the kinks out.

Broken software is really annoying, though, so I sympathize with the desire to pin it on competence or laziness.

Here's the APK provided by Signal: https://signal.org/android/apk/

Cute how it's labeled "Danger Zone". So official Signal provided install methods include Google Play Store, or enabling third party APKs and downloading directly from Signal. How the second differs from an official Signal provided and signed F-Droid repository in Moxie's mind is anyone's guess.

What Signal _does not_ allow are APKs built by third parties being distributed under the Signal name, or connecting to Signal servers. Which calls into question the build process itself - the very thing exploited in the XZ backdoor. One either trusts Signal to build the software without backdoors, or doesn't use Signal at all. There is no allowed in between.
