"for taking private civic action based upon his quiet Christian faith"

One can only dream of a world in which all civic actions are secular, and religious matters are private and quiet.
If you want to look under the hood and find the big production ones like too complex, I can recommend peeking at this one. It's a great example example of just the minimum of a spectral path tracer https://github.com/TomCrypto/Lambda
It's a difficult low margin crop. Not easy to grow cheaply and it needs to be processed to extract the fibers.

It's been grown in that part of Europe for thousands of years and in the 19th century it was a major industry there. I don't think it's still a major crop in Belgium (too low margin) but the company in question is entrenched now.
Indeed!

Well, when you read about German carmakers (BMW, Mercedes, Volkswagen, Porsche, ...) they have very similar challenges than Apple. They also have declining sales.

And their behavior and situation is very similar to Apple:

- You have in many places reputation based lock-in into high-price products
- You have a competition which for a lower price offers a same functionality, reasonable quality product.
- There are unreasonable argumentation on why to stay on the high-reputation product.
- You have a vendor who uses every possible trick to keep competition away from their markets
- They have post covid, post inflation no longer customers who can afford their products
- ...
Othellogpt is fed only moves and builds a model of the current board state in its activations. It never sees a board.

> It's like saying you can use a lego model to build a model of another lego model.

No it's like using a description of piece placements and having a picture in mind about what the current model looks like.
So what you are saying is you need sufficient money to do whatever you want in the guise of "business" without having to fear any consequences whatsoever?
It's not for me. I can see the appeal of these shortcuts, but I can see it being a wtf down the road once I've forgotten that I have them in place.

Also with something like auto-correct, you have a visual affordance that alerts you to the change (with the option to override), which just happened when I misspelled 'forgotten' above. The shell doesn't have that so something just happens without any actual correction or indication the user may have made an error. Although I am not a 'fish' user, this is something that I think it does well.
Yes, but lot of people on the planet don't need, care or want the whole Apple ecosystem, most people just want "A phone" to surf the web, take photos and run basic apps like Twitter, Instagram, WhatsApp and that's it.

And for that purpose, expensive iPhones and cheap Androids are relatively interchangeable commodity items since they all can run the same apps. Yes, iPhones will have less spy/bloatware, take better pictures, run apps a bit smoother and faster, but not 2-4 times better, and most people won't care or notice unless they compare and review both side by side which almost nobody does, most just impulse buy based on sales price, marketing, brand/platform familiarity or simply just on network effects (if my family or friends have iPhone I'll also get an iPhone).

Apple's biggest cash-cow is the network effect and lock-in of their well oiled ecosystem, but if the EU will force them to open it up to competitors, then their charade could fall apart, hence why they'll fight the EU as long as possible to maintain it.

Micron CZ120 CXL Memory Module Spotted at Intel Vision 2024
No. This is blatantly false. The belief that recurrent model can't be scaled is untrue. People have recently trained MAMBA with billions of parameters. The fundamental reason why transformers changed the field is that they are lot more scalable context length wise, and LSTM, LRU etc doesn't come close.
TIL that in Python you cannot use a mixin class to provide implementation for an abstract base class that defines the interface.

In other words, in the inheritance tree, the class providing the common implementation must sit between the interface class and the concrete classes.
We are in full agreement there, but my issue with this documentary remains.
Decreasing drag through active flow control. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_control_(fluid)#Active_co...:

“Passive devices by definition require no energy. Passive techniques include turbulators or roughness elements geometric shaping, the use of vortex generators, and the placement of longitudinal grooves or riblets on airfoil surfaces.

Active control requires actuators that require energy and may operate in a time-dependent manner. Active flow control includes steady or unsteady suction or blowing, the use of synthetic jets, valves and plasma actuators. Actuation may be pre-determined (open-loop control) or be dependent on monitoring sensors (closed-loop control).”

An example: continuously changing wing surface (https://www.gauss-centre.eu/results/computational-and-scient...)

I don’t know either something like this has been built or flown.
> how do you sell to enterprise? how does that even work?

It's not working as much as we want it to. I mean early sales were from network. But being a one man sales team, it's really difficult to map multiple personas in an enterprise and sell to them. That's why we are stripping down our product to something people can buy in a self-serve manner. Getting a good number of users quickly is what's most important for an early stage startup is what I've realized.

So if a company hands you a gun and tells you to shoot someone you would pull the trigger because even if you refuse someone else would do it? Nothing but excuses for profiting off morally bankrupt behavior.
Again you miss the point entirely. This is not Apple vs Android. This is teenagers not being given a choice whether or not to use social media generally.

The fact is if everyone else uses it, this precludes them from many normal interactions that get replaced by social media. It's a cultural thing as much as it is a personal thing. You will feel excluded if you don't use it, so unless everyone changes, it's hard for you to change. That takes a determination even many adults lack.

The harmful effects of social media are not eliminated by choosing not to participate. They have a cultural impact (both benefit and harm) that expands beyond an individuals choice. We should reconsider how to handle teenagers on social media as a society. Not just tell them to preclude themselves if it's harming them.
That’s what I meant by option 3?
No, that's a completely different thing - an index access method, building a bloom filter on multiple columns of a single row. Which means a query then can have an equality condition on any of the columns.

That being said, building a bloom/cuckoo filter as a data type would be quite trivial - a basic version might take an hour or two, the more advanced stuff (to support partial aggregates etc) might take a bit more. Ultimately, this is not that different from what postgresql-hll does.
I think you're just describing a state machine, no? The fact that you encode the state in a vector and steps by matrices is an implementation detail...?
Sure. I’m just arguing that “Here’s an opportunity to sacrifice for 2 years and put ourselves on a solid financial footing” is different from “the world is collapsing and we have to make the best of it”.
That's part of my evaluation process when I need non-technical services like plumbing. If the website contains the relevant information but is an eyesore, I feel that they prioritize doing good work over fancy marketing materials.
What does this "automate updating of dependencies" mean? Is this something that happens in some ecosystem where updating things is so common that it needs to be automated? What ecosystem does it refer to? JS? Or is it more general? And what does it mean to update dependencies automatically and in real time? Does it mean for some web based products that you deploy versions with updated dependencies and immediately roll that out to production? What does it mean for other kinds of products (Maybe they don't have any)?
Samsung's Texas plant will produce 2nm chips by 2026

Use of class was strongly discouraged in the Swift world until they rolled out their new Observation framework for SwiftUI that requires using classes for modeling state and depends on two-way data binding to work. So all the arguments we've been hearing for years about the benefits of structs, immutable data, and controlled updates got tossed out the window.

This was bad timing with the switch to strong concurrency checking in Swift 6 because doing strong concurrency handling in a world of reference types and two way binding is really painful.

"because doing $contemporaryStyle is cheaper and more broadly appealing, and might even have some practical benefits. And it's cheaper not just because it's inherently more optimized or because labor is more expensive than it was back then, but because being the only one doing $oldWay means you don't have any scaling benefits and will struggle to find labor. Going with the herd is just inherently better value for money". There, free premise for a 1h youtube video. Just adapt it to architecture or cutlery or something.

This was also back in 2008 when even Obama was quoted as defining marriage as "the union between a man and a woman" [1]. So that begs the question: Why did Eich get so much more scrutiny than even Obama? Why did the media seemingly coordinate to do hit pieces on him? And why the CEO of an open-source browser with < 5% market share, and not the massive big-tech incumbents?

English is the new lingua francua.

AI does a piss poor job translating nuance and context. If you cannot understand the language you are publishing an article in, you should not publish.

Currently the language of the world is English. Maybe that won’t always be true. Maybe English will gain so many loanwords that it will look completely foreign 1000 years from now. But learning a language isn’t particularly hard, and the only real difficulty seems to be Korean/chinese/japanese <-> English.
Ye. Maybe my wording with 'servitude' was just bad though.
The "board" is abstract. Any game of this sort is defined by a series of conditional probabilities:

{P(Pawn_on_sqare_blah|previous_moves) ... etc.}

What all statistical learning algorithms model is sets of conditional probabilities. So any stat alg is a model of a set of these rules... that's the "clay" of these models.

The problem is the physical world isn't anything like this. The reason I say, "I liked that TV show" is because I had a series of mental states caused by the TV show over time (and so on). This isnt representable as a set of conditional probs in the same way.

You could imagine, at the end of history, there being a total set of all possible conditional probabilities: P(I liked show|my_mental_states, time, person, location, etc.) -- this would be uncomputable, but it could be supposed.

If you had that dataset then yes, NNs would learn the entire structure of the world, because that's the dataset. The problem is that the world cannot be represented in this fashion, not that NNs could model it if it could be. A decision tree could.

P(I liked the TV show) doesnt follow from any dataset ever collected. It follows from my mental states. So no NN can ever model it. They can model frequency associations of these phrases in historical text documents: this isnt a model of hte world

How do you differentiate between "stretch" and "upscale"? Or how would "stretching" by exactly 2x would make the image blurry?
It absolutely is a reason. Everyone else is doing it, meaning if you don't you feel isolated.

So, either you participate and feel isolated through your social connections by social media, or you don't participate and feel even more isolated because you don't have social connections.

It used to be that (rational) people would be fairly in agreement that one cannot extract information which is not there. That's why we laugh at the "zoom -> 9 pixels -> enhance -> clear picture -> zoom ->.." trop in movies..

AI does not change this.. It adds stuff that's not there, sure, it adds stuff that might be there, or could have been there, but it literally cannot know, so it just paints in plausibility.. Which is horrible and gross already in principle.

I imagine we're not far from the first conviction based on AI enhanced images.. give the model a blurry CCTV frame and a list of suspects and it will enhance the image until it looks like one of them, and since people are apparently this stupid, someone is going to be locked up for something they didn't do.

Back to movies, just, fuck no! There's no enhancements to make, the movie is _DONE_, it looks like it does, leave it.
Just like sports. Some group of people scoring more points than another group of people isn't that interesting. But once you add the story of how this happened, how this group even came to be and why they are in this particular match and people love it.

Of course there are individual works of art or athletic performance that are significant enough to stand on their own. But those are few and far between.

To add onto this list (unless I missed it), I would recommend interpreter, compiler and assembler. An interpreter is a fun way to learn a new language and can be done creatively and artistically which allows you to exercise the art of programming in expressive ways. Lexing for optimal string manipulation and parsing, AST construction for fun ways of building and creating the grammar and interpretation which can be done any number of ways.

Also, it’s not as hard as it seems if compilers in college was your last attempt in this area.

- crafting interpreters

- writing and interpreter/compiler in Go

Both good books on the domain for an amateur compiler writer.

For lower level assembler and chip design stuff/logic gates etc. obviously I recommend Nand2Tetris
APFS: Special File Types
I must be misunderstanding something from this article. With:

struct Node {

std::vector<Connection> connections;

};

struct Connection {

Node* from, to;

};

Does this mean that to create the vector of connections, Nodes are created, and references are taken to store in the Connections? And then the Nodes are stored in the list, with std::move()?

I don't understand why you would want to go down that road. Intuitively, I would assume that you are not safe from an object copy somewhere down the line and your graph then comes crashing down like a house of cards. Wouldn't it make more sense to store the nodes as pointers? If you like to live dangerously, something like:

struct Graph {

std::vector<std::list<Node\*>> nodes;

};

Or better:

struct Graph {

std::vector<std::list<std::unique_ptr<Node>>> nodes;

};

The later will give you plenty of warnings if you do not copy Nodes around with std::move().

Or less performant, but maybe safer, std::shared_ptr<Node>, together with:

struct Connection {

std::weak_ptr<Node> from, to;

};

so that you have some check guarantees before access?
This thread is grossly missing the point. OP is writing about a foreign aid program directed at Nepali people.

Nepal is a rocky country, having a large patch of lands unsuitable for farming. People in the rulal area are literally one of the poorest population in the world.

Paper bush ("Mitsumata") grows well in such a rocky soil. This program is essentially an attempt to set up Japan as a longterm buyer of the material, so that the local people can make constant money.

> Why not locally sourced?

Because if Japan sourced the material locally, it just ceased to be a foreign assistance program.

My neighbour suffered brain-stroke after a haircut! Someone else fell over and broke their arm also after a haircut!

Some country like Australia with decades and decades of high quality medical records going back to the 1960s would surely show a huge increase in heart attacks and brain strokes after almost all of their 22+ million people had more than one vaccine and yet there were no significant increases in total stroke numbers!

And yet many people had strokes, fell over, got hit by cars after having vaccine!

How can this be??

The worst is when people say "Why don't they make things like X anymore", where X is one of the best examples of its type from the entire decade it was created. They didn't make things like X back then either, you dingbat!

X is a stand-out work of genius, head and shoulders above everything else it was contemporary with, at the time it was made. It was the confluence of strong artistic vision, technical excellence and innovation, and near-flawless execution, where all the parts managed to come together cohesively without any thematic friction - which rarely happens in any project. The reason X is better than 99% of stuff made today is because it was better than 99% of stuff made then, too.

Someone probably will make something as good as X this decade, but expecting most things to be as good as X is absurd. Remember Sturgeon's Law - 90% of everything is crap.
