Google has a near monopoly on web search, and they are very aggressively doing everything they can to keep it that way, both by tightly integrating it in their products (browser, browser engine, and OSs, mainly) and funding competitors (Safari and Firefox main revenue source are contracts with Google, under the condition of making Google the default search engine).

Sure, you're free to use DDG and find a workflow, but people are less likely to remember it, especially as they overwhelmingly use Google.
Giving AI access to OS APIs is trivial for Apple and Google. The problem has been that AI assistant were always too dumb to understand user requests.

IIRC, this was the first attempt by Hutchison Whampoa, a big Hong Kong company, to enter the UK. They gave up on this and eventually started Three, who are now one of the biggest mobile networks in the UK.

I remember them trying to sell Rabbit when I was a kid, and even I was bemused. Why would I want to stand outside a hotspot in a shop when I could use a phone booth?
The rules for operation 2 didn't mention that two integers need to be next to each other (vise versa for operation 1). Is it a requirement?
Modern disks are definitely faster, especially the SSDs. So the problem is less these days than before.

But it all still boils down to RAM being faster than disks overall, so the more RAM you can use, the less use you have to make of disks.

An analogy of RAM and swap, is that RAM is your workbench for cooking and swap is the cupboards in your kitchen. If you have enough workbench in the kitchen, you can leave all of your ingredients out all the time while you are making that dish. If you don't have enough workbench, you have to keep stopping and put some stuff away in the cupboard before you can grab some other stuff that's in the cupboard to put it on the workbench so that you can continue your job.

The old saying in the old days when hardware was extremely expensive (Not that RAM wasn't!) was "The quickest way to speed up a slow computer was throw as much RAM as you could afford at it." Same old workbench and cupboard idea.
Rumour has it that it's easy to get a bonus or raise for a new something, hard if you work on maintaining something. The new something doesn't need to be totally new, though.

But to be fair: In an organisation where your product is going to be compared against Adwords, your product will seem insignificant and irrelevant, and that's not because of how your team works on the product, and it's noe because of how the organisation does the comparison.

I wonder how little wiggle-room there needs to be for a solution to be possible? Does [4, 2, 1] have a solution? You can get to with [4, -1, 3, 1] with one step, but I'm not sure where you can go from there.
To a point yes, but also comprehension isn't there - I have alexa and a goodly amount of automation in my home, and it's job 99% of the time? Let me turn the lights off after I'm cozy in bed, set timers for the kitchen, and tell me the weather forecast for the day. Things where its interface is the appeal, I can do all those things without pulling out my phone, getting up for a switch, or stopping from getting dressed.

That is the value, not in having conversations with the bot -- google got closer with its assistants, but only because it has a creepily deep profile on its users, so conversations with google had more 'context' than alexa ever could.

I tried to ask alexa for the weather yesterday (I wanted to know if it had rained overnight to decide which shoes to wear to walk the dog), and it first gave me todays weather, then told me it only knew weather for the next 14 days - yesterday was too hard to predict I guess?

But that's the point - simple tasks where the interface is circumstantially superior? Awesome. But if I want to just chat with my computer, that novelty wore out with Eliza & Dr. SBATSO. The conversations with ChatGPT are deeper, but no more meaningful.

So what can alexa do to make my life simpler? Don't read me wikipedia pages in response to -anything-, if you can't summarize it in two sentences, say it's a long answer and you can send it to my phone if I'd prefer. Make the interactions short and sweet. Control the lights, make me coffee, walk my dog, order more coke. I don't need it to have "new skills" - I just want it to be better at the ones I actually want to use.

This is all technically possible, but then there's also the privacy/security aspect. Many who would actually be into a solution like this won't be too hot to share the necessary information in the first place. And with good reason: companies with the resources to provide a decent experience don't have the best track record of protecting user data, and ensuring only the user has control of it. The privacy conscious would rather self-host, and end up losing out on capabilities in the process. So it's a sort of catch-22.

Unless you actively start destroying modern technology and infrastructure, it's never gonna go back to people generally buying locally produced.

Or you'd have to get a totalitarian government with a plan economy with this issue as a primary focus. Neither sounds realistic to me.

Either situation would also require many people to die as people now live in places which can't support themselves with the nearby farmland.

So what are you, in practice, actually advocating for?
that benchmark is very weak, they used just 100M rows which is laughable, also no joins have been tested.

My undergrad senior project was to build a game chair where we strapped ourselves into a seat we pulled from a totaled Ford Probe, and use 2 joysticks (one on each armrest) to control the ship is Descent. We had to static mount a pair if very heavy 21" or 22" CRTs, which was annoying.

We used 2 pneumatic cylinders and a U-joint to move the chair so it rotated on 2 axes. I now know that hydraulics would have let us stop in the middle, but that did not occur to me at the time. The chair still moved a lot, banged around, and generally made a lot of noise.

It was great fun to strap a small student into the chair and let them start playing. It was all OK until they got hit from behind with the first missile, and their space ship started spinning, and the chair started massive movements. Then they started high-pitched screaming like in the movie "Jaws." After 90 seconds, they were having the time of their lives shooting up alien-hacked mining equipment that had become ersatz weapons.

It only worked with small students because we lacked large enough pneumatics, and because the chair rotated about an axis below the chair, so that it would flop one way or another and not have the power to right itself id we strapped in a large (200 lbs) student.

Those were good times.
Rumbelows was bought by Radio Rentals, who then merged with Granada plc, who then merged with Carlton to become ITV.
That information is several years out of date. At best, the build tools in the ecosystem don't do a great job of supporting modules, but that's about it.

And your comment about `jlink` MIGHT be true if your application is nor modular/ does not use modules with a well-formed `module-info.java`. I haven't tried an automatic module in a long time. If your application is modular, everything happens as expected. I do this for all the builds for all of my projects. Last build from last night confirms that it still works, and works well.
A head count is often done with a simple mechanical clicker by the flight attendants right at the plane's doors and/or during the check walk looking for seat belts and unstowed luggage during taxiing. It takes no additional time at all.

Any pilot should have an actual count of the souls on board, it can become a question of life and death in an emergency situation. Would you want to be the one left behind trapped in a burning wreck because "all 200" passengers on the list have been declared clear of it - with the blind passenger taking your spot?

I'm aware this is a made up scenario that probably would never occur even in the event. Take it more as food for thought why knowing the SOB might be more than unnecessary theatre.

I'm really astonished by a lot of responses in this thread, seeing how people that are forced to take off their shoes while waiting in line ay the airport keep on defending willful negligence at seemingly every other point in the process.
My first big win for clickhouse was replacing a 1.2tb, billion + row postgresql DB with clickhouse. It was static data with occasional full replacement loads. We got the DB down to ~ 60GB, with query speeds about 45x faster.

Now, the postgres schema wasn't ideal, and we could have saved ~ 3x on it with corresponding speed increases for queries with a refactor similar to the clickhouse schema, but that wasn't really enough to move the needle to near real-time queries.

Ultimately, the entire clickhouse DB was smaller than the original postgres primary key index. The index was too big to fit in memory on an affordable machine, so it's pretty obvious where the performance is coming from.
But why would you want to be able to pass an apple to a function expecting a banana? Doesn't even make sense, the whole point is that the type system forces you to consider this stuff.

If OP wanted to be allowed to do whatever and just have the software fail at runtime, JS is right there.
Haha - Yes, you are right. I really don't care if it fails; it's just a fun side project. Why so angry? Are you hungry?
This assumes that they have a database on my IPv6 addresses though (one which would be easily invalidated because SLAAC is just awesome), and furthermore assumes that I don't have a firewall to block off unwanted incoming connections -- you know, just like how NAT is basically a firewall with packet-modifying capabilities.
Businesses aren’t that bothered about deadlines - provided they have sufficient notice that a deadline is going to be missed.

What frustrates business is when there is no warning and engineering suddenly announces out of the blue that an imminent deadline can’t be hit.

Or even worse, the constant drip of, it’s almost done - just one more sprint…

The knee jerk current reaction of “we’re just not going to do estimates anymore” and “it’s done when it’s done” really don’t help in any way.
Visa's exchange rate calculator was similarly annoying – a long list of countries/currencies, but they reimplemented the dropdown control in such a way that typing to jump to the entry I want didn't work. Though at least that one has been fixed recently…

Edit to my post above:

She actually stole 10.7% ($44b) of Vietnam's yearly GDP in total. The 6.6% figure was the amount that she couldn't return.

So it's like $2.7 trillion USD in the US.

Stealing this proportion of a country's money by one person is simply unprecedented.

Oh. Ok, I jumped in my chair for a moment, but when my brain calmed down I realized network systems in the 19th century didn't really make sense.
> This thing could help it go from 12 wires total for both LCD+keys to only 4 using shared I2C wiring, quite nice!

Or you could use shift registers which cost a few USD cents.

On a personal project a long long time ago, I recall using daisy-chained shift registers to control a stupidly high number of relays (think 100+), at an extra BOM cost of around $1.

The relay switching time was still much, much larger than the time it took to bit-bang the daisy-chained shift registers for all relays.
>"Dozens" may sound like a dig at Alexa's ecosystem, but it's an estimation based on a podcast from Skills developers Mark Tucker and Allen Firstenberg, who, in a recent podcast, agreed that "dozens" of third-party devs were contemplating if it's still worthwhile to develop Alexa skills. The casual summary wasn't stated as a hard fact or confirmed by Amazon but, rather, seemed like a rough and quick estimation based on the developers' familiarity with the Skills community. But with such minimal interest and money associated with Skills, dozens isn't an implausible figure either.

lol ya, I thought the title was a joke, but apparently their best guess is that there were dozens of developers. This is like a punchline from XKCD.
$q_0$ and $x$ are explicitly defined.

This is "misleading" because it's presented as a blog post but really it should be read as a paper or book section. Take your time. Take a pen and paper out. Reread things multiple times. Go back to definitions.
I don't mean mean that dismissively, math is just read very very very differently than natural text. ( I'm sure there are just brilliant people who can read math like a novel but for me, and I assume most people but maybe I'm just dumb, that's not the case )

Here q_0 is some density, whatever you want.
x is a random variable distributed according to q_0
"AI" is already running both in datacenters and locally.

Many people are running local AIs (LLMs, stable diffusion image generation, and so on) and Apple is especially interested (and has advertised) local AI processing:

In the image at the top of the article, why is the Rust crab altered to have "angry" eyes and holding a knife aimed at the Go gopher? Aside from the joke of "don't bring a knife to a protobuf fight" the inference of violence sucks and lessens the spirit of friendly competition and "all in good fun." I don't know if Rust has a code-of-conduct or rules for use of their mascot, but I bet this doesn't follow it.
Just like how people purchasing books from a bookstore have to ask each author what they're going to use the books for? I think not. The act of publishing a book clearly indicates that the author wants the book to be read. It's the same thing with public keyservers and PGP encryption keys.

Another example. When you put your email address in a contacts page in your blog, is the message "don't email me, ever" unless you add another "yes, you can use this for email purposes" disclaimer? If that's the case, shouldn't that disclaimer need another "yes, this disclaimer is what you think it means" disclaimer? And shouldn't that disclaimer also ... you get the idea.

Some actions, such as publishing something, has well-established meanings. You can't yell at people for thinking "publish" meant publish.
First, it's not as trivial to give access to OS APIs as you think.

Second, giving access to APIs... gives you access to APIs, and that's it. Even the most advanced LLMs are dumb as shit when it comes to anything non-trivial in programming. What makes you think that a modern LLM will manage to translate "move tab X to a different window" into a dozen or more API calls with proper structures filled in, and in the correct order?
But context modelling isn't dictionary compression. Parent is correct that dictionary compression itself (e.g. LZ4) isn't very useful for floating point.
Well, you are partially correct that the tool in question is optimized for larger projects. But the fact that there isn't an option (in the standard lib) for smaller projects is absolutely a problem. I think that is their point.

Yes, but compared to 10 years ago where dropping IPv4 is a technical challenge, dropping NAT64 can quite literally be the same as pulling the plug.
> Do they pretend there's no censorship?

Yes, they do. Censorship of official links is against explicit Wikipedia policy[1], but it doesn't matter because every policy can be overridden by consensus. In practice this means that a handful of professional activists can (and do) censor it as they see fit, since they can determine for themselves whether such a "consensus" exists.

First of all, no, that's very unlikely: around 8 thousand pedestrians die in the US every year, out of around 40 thousand total deaths in traffic accidents.

But also, even if it is, this doesn't mean we should drive instead of walk to reduce our risk - it means everyone should drive less to reduce risk for everyone.

Everyone was very safe on foot, bikes and transit before there were so many cars. Cars made it dangerous to walk, so now everyone is in cars, which also makes driving more dangerous. Then people buy bigger cars that give them higher chances of survival in a crash at the great expense of everyone else involved, so everyone is buying bigger and bigger cars now.
The article mentioned Mercury too. I distinctly remember working for a company that had Mercury telephones and their wall sockets were strange: they had this bare filament of wire that glowed blue. Was very alarming when you first saw it: something clearly electrical with a bare glowing wire.
Lynch gave silent treatment to Patrick Stewart on the set of Dune, making him very aware that he didn't agree with him being cast.

Not fundamentally impossible. Just as a friend may know not to recommend the gig as they're aware of the breakup, so can an AI. Heck after conversing with Pi a few weeks ago, I'm fairly convinced it'd at this point be able to handle that kind of nuance if it had access to the relevant data.
What features are you waiting for?

I worked for a competitor to RR (Visionhire) when a teenager, BSkyB had started the first satellite TV series in the UK. Nobody wanted to buy it (why would I need more than 4 TV channels?) so they gave it free, including installation, for 6 months before charging money. Unfortunately so many people wanted to cancel after the 6 months there was a huge backlog waiting to get somebody to take the dish down.

People were unbelievable angry, I worked in the callcentre and we'd have people turning up threatening to kill us, others sent us boxes full of literal shit. Not the greatest job ever.
Some international flights have face scanners at the gate. Not sure if it's to take a photo in the event of an issue or an actual scan and comparison against your stored ID, but the length of the process (a few seconds) suggests the latter.
I don't think `tembo` is working on it though, probably just hosting an existing extension.
> In Go, a string is just a simple wrapper around []byte, and deserializing a string field can be done by simply assigning the original buffer's pointer and length to the string field. However, Rust's PROST, when deserializing String type fields, needs to copy the data from the original buffer into the String

It's interesting that the protobuf code generator for Go seems to allow this direct access. For C++, you also need a copy (and potentially a heap allocation) since `string` fields are returned via `const std::string&`. Protobuf support for `std::string_view` has been years in the making.

Maybe just switch to FlatBuffers?
The article specified a list of positive integers, and you can’t go smaller than the smallest initial value.
