It doesn’t even support IMAP email credential payloads in provisioning profiles. This is some of the bare minimum required for enterprise use. I haven’t tried to MDM one yet. I don’t even know how you’d supervise one without a port to connect it to AC2.

It’s quite clearly not designed for mainstream use without enterprise features or a consumer price point.

Remember also that hardware pipelines are 2-3 years long. They almost certainly are well into the design of the consumer model that will come out in 18-24 months. By that time, there will be many apps available for them because of the AVP1 being in the hands of tens of thousands of developers for 12+ months.
Yes, but I think the other lesson might be that those black box machine translations have ended up being more valuable? It sucks when things don't always work, but that is also kind of life and if the AI version worked more often that is usually ok (as long as the occasional failures aren't so catastrophic as to ruin everything)
Those aren't equivalent, though.

In 3/4 it's a given that the quarter note is the part that gets represented by the word "beat." That's 160bpm, so an eighth-note would be 320bpm.

In 6/8, the dotted quarter note is what gets represented as the "beat" because in 6/8 the meter divides into two halves of 3 eighth-notes each. So if you want to set each eighth-note in 6/8 to go by at 320bpm, a duration equal to three eighth-notes (a.k.a. a dotted half-note, or the "beat" in 6/8) is going to be about 107bpm.

Edit: tldr; if you set the tempo in 6/8 by referring to a quarter note, it will be suspicious and the beat police will bring you in for questioning.

Google Maps fails in subtle but weird and sometimes costly ways.

On one side, it can't route through a bunch of valid paths. I first assumed it could be because of residents asking Google to cut traffic, but sometimes it's not even through residential areas. I see routes on the map that are avoided in favor of bigger loops, and when trying the shorter routes they're perfectly fine. Or perhaps it's the vehicle size and they optimize for SUVs ?

On the other side it will happily route you through paths that are restricted to specific categories of cars. It's up to the driver to carefully avoid them, but it really wants you to go through and reroutes you there when you deviate, so it's a huge PITA in areas you don't know and try to navigate while ignoring the navigation instructions. Cops seem to have noticed it, We've got fined the first time we fucked up, and now that I'm aware of the issue I see the cops in many of these spots basically waiting for the jackpot.
I'm not generally for singling out a person and slinging mud at them, but, I also feel like unless there's a real social cost to acting the way these parasitic executives act, there's little incentive for them to change their behavior. There should be a sense of shame in ruining a once good product for career benefits and short term growth. I think the tone is appropriate in that it conveys that this is not a good-faith effort gone wrong, but rather an executive acting in a cynical and reprehensible way.
Well, with a working simulator and hundreds of thousands of them in the wild, I imagine it is possible to develop for one and test on one without actually buying one of your own.

Yes; I'm basically saying one should reconsider before ever using this phrase, as it drips with condescension, and therefore is not conducive to productive discourse.
The hardware you need and amount of time you run the model really depends on which model you've fine-tuned and what your model will be doing. If you don't need quick responses, you could use a cpu via llama.cpp. If you are only doing something like summarization you could do the inference in batches and start and stop your GPU resources between them. If you're doing chat around something predictable, like a product, you could cache common questions and responses and use smaller model to pick between them.
Let's suppose consciousness comes from the gurganath. The gurganath is a metaphysical being that is not made of matter or any substance we can understand.

It has a big belly. And when it slaps its belly in either anger or glee, a side effect is that whole universes full of conscious beings come into being, experience a few billions of years in subjective time, them annihilate themselves.

That's consciousness as a metaphysical epiphenomenon of the gurganath.

Or consider the Squigloog. The Squigloog is a "sensorial bundle" - an abstract collection of all possible sense experiences - including conscious ones. It is a static and unchanging construct existing outside of time or space. Although time does not pass for the Squigloog, it encodes all possible experiences including ones where the subject appears to experience time.

That's consciousness if it were supported by the Squigloog.

The first theory is akin to theism - the gurganath is basically God. The second theory is similar to Hume's Bundle Theory.

Although I am mainly a materialist for pragmatic reasons, these are non-material theories of consciousness. There is no way for me to falsify either of them. And there may be no way to prove that material is the cause of consciousness.

So I would say that we should be tolerant of people who have non-materialist theories of consciousness. Even if they're not very tolerant of materialists. Any one of us could be right.
Osama bin Laden is laughing from his grave.
Let's go back to the original formulation so we don't lose the plot here:

Me: As an analogy, consider a professional tennis or baseball player.

YeGoblynQueenne: humans e.g. playing baseball do not find solutions to kinematic equations, but instead use simple heuristics that exploit our senses and body configuration, like placing their hands in front of their eyes so that they line up with the ball etc.

At the risk of stating the obvious, being a professional tennis or baseball player involves a lot more than "simple heuristics ... like placing their hands in front of their eyes so that they line up with the ball." That simple heuristic might work for one specific skill -- catching a ball that happens to be heading in your direction. But it won't help much for moving a bat or a raquet in such a way that it will hit a ball moving past you at close to 100mph in such a way that the ball ends up traveling on some desired trajectory.

But even just moving your hand in front of your eyes is nowhere near as trivial as YeGoblynQueenne implies. To do that you have to control seven degrees of freedom: two at your shoulder, two at your elbow, and two at your wrist. Solving those kinematic equations even to find a static solution is elementary but non-trivial, a skill that is solidly at the undergraduate level.

Now consider running to catch a ball. That involves controlling about 20 or 30 degrees of freedom (two arms, two legs, neck, waist, two eyes...) in real time in a situation that involves not just kinematics but also dynamics. Solving that analytically was an unsolved research problem for a long time (maybe still is, I haven't been keeping up with recent developments). A child can learn to do it. But they do have to learn to do it. It's not a skill humans are born with.

It seems pretty obvious to me that the process of learning how to catch a ball while running is very different than the process of learning how to do math. And yet, there must be a mapping between them because the movements required for catching a ball are the solutions to kinematic equations.

The article talks about ai development workloads and how there's little need for a low power low performance accelerator compared to a high end GPU but I think the point is end user workloads.

Software is coming with AI integrations. IDEs, spreadsheets, word processors, graphics programs. These absolutely will benefit from low power ai acceleration. Sure if i want best in class acceleration I'll buy the damn 300w GPU. But really I just want some autocompletion without burning my lap or requiring cloud connectivity.

I live in a VERY rural part of the US. When I was in college, a friend from NYC came to stay with us for a week in the summer.

He brought a noise machine because he figured it would be too quiet.

He ended up buying ear plugs because the bugs and birds were so loud at night. And he grew to hate whippoorwills.

I enjoyed that quite thoroughly.

I really liked this article. I really love the examples given. The part about names and pronunciation, and the manga examples actually reminded me of a anime scene that appears confusing at first.

In the scene, there’s a character that receives a business card from another and he ends up pronouncing his name incorrectly.[1] I guess it does seem weird that a written name can be mispronounced, but isn’t the same kind of phenomenon as when you have an artificial English word like “ghoti” which is meant to be pronounced as “fish”?

Yeah, Gists don't feel like they've had much attention in a very long time.

I still love them as a product and use them on a daily basis, and there's nothing that feels particularly missing from them, but they're clearly not something GitHub are investing a lot of effort in beyond keeping them working at the moment.
Not exactly true, but yes, their ideas around permissible forms of music are incredibly restrictive.
My life is in OrgMode structured plain text files which are themselves managed by git along with scripts for managing link integrity. This works fairly well but I dream of replacing all of that with relational databases and knowledge representation systems. So far, every fancier system I've used or built has eventually failed, but I'm working on yet another fancy system built on top of Postgres for stability.
Sometimes fixing integrity checks can be as simple as replacing the failure case with nops :)

Laws are never enforced universally or consistently and without bias even in so-called “free” and “liberal” and “secular” countries.

Prosecutorial discretion is one of the most critical and important ways that the oligarchy punishes those who would oppose them, in any country.

“For my friends, anything. For my enemies, the law.”
This is a key point that gets overlooked so often.

The Court accepts that governments outsource regulation to e.g. the private developers of building codes. Similarly, we don’t benefit from a Congress mired in details over the minutae managed by many areas of the federal government.

There needs to be a screen: I'm not sure what the incremental cost is of it being touch-sensitive. And I think a lot of designers (or cost cutters) may have figured that since they have to have software anyway, it may easier/cheaper to deal with software buttons than with moving parts like physical buttons and dials.
Oh, yes, I agree that we should name and shame, but I suspect the list of names to be a lot longer than one or two people.
It appears that it cost a lot (a not just the money; also time + hassle). I quote https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City_Cabaret_Law#Caba...

It's a ridiculous term that promotes polarization and dumbs down the level of discourse. I have the same reaction to it as when I see "bootlicker" as applied to anyone who takes the company's side (or is in management in general). There's too much adversarial name-calling these days, and not enough seeking understanding.
2nd person singular is also never really used correctly, and even 1st person plural is sometimes replaced by 3rd person singular e.g. "a gente vai" instead of "nós vamos"
Agreed that the ability to just run on the CPU is valuable. Metashade doesn't support that yet and its codegen syntax doesn't look like regular Python code (everything codegen-related is prefixed with `sh.` etc.) but it's certainly possible to write a generator that would just execute the code "in the immediate mode" or generate C/C++ code for the CPU.

Regarding templating functions with functions - in Metashade you can just specialize the generated code however you see fit, with Python as the meta language. E.g. Python's `if` statements can act like `#ifdef`s or `if constexpr`, and you can certainly pass around callables to parameterize behavior.

That's a very extreme example, and yes, I would just use the bracket syntax in Tailwind because I can see clearly that's not what I want for box-shadow.

Adas specification was developed competitively over a number of years with embedded development as well as the ability to replace all 450 languages in use by the D.O.D. at the time as requirements. Rusts first official specification is still in the works aside from the one created by AdaCore.

Representation clauses are just beautiful for embedded memory-mapped registers and network protocols and driver registers received over spi/i2c etc.. There is even built-in validity checking. No need to shift generally as the compiler does everything for you.

The D.O.D study that includes Java would need to be dug up but this one is interesting too.

https://forum.ada-lang.io/t/comparing-the-development-costs-...

I only found out recently that the D.O.D. Ada mandate didn't say you had to use Ada. It said you had to demonstrate why your project would be more cost-effective than using Ada. Considering Ada was designed with cost-effectiveness/maintainability as a primary requirement then that was a difficult task.

I don't have strong opinions about Clear, but I would abolish TSA PreCheck immediately. Or at least make government employees and everyone holding a public office ineligible to it.

American airports are universally terrible, because frequent flyers are not subjected to the default process. If the people who fly often and pay a lot of money for it would have to face TSA at its worst, there would be much more pressure to reform it.

What to do if your data is leaked?
There's a lot of anecdotal evidence that some American steam locomotives went >120 mph in passenger service (the Milwaukee Road's F7's and the Pennsylvania Railroad's S1's, for example). I believe if you look at the PRR timetables, they had some routes that averaged 80 mph between stops, meaning they almost certainly hit a max speed at least over 100 mph. The US didn't have the same speed record contests that the Brits did though, so there's no official record.

In 1947 a law was passed requiring trains above 79mph to have some kind of automatic train stop system, so that ended most of the high speed steam service.

-- It's interesting to look at the different symmetries on Catagolue, where the idea is to generate a lot of random soups with different symmetry types, and then just run those patterns and see what comes out. The D8_1 and D8_4 symmetries are 8-way symmetric, which is as high as you're going to be able to get on a square grid.
