the only way ukraine is gonna win is if nato goes in and helps with the fighting. all theyre doing at the moment is testing weapons and watching their supposed allies die. if europe values its safety thats what is going to have to do, with or without american support. what a great first step towards the end of nations bullying each other and a drastically improved world that would be.
Longitude is a great book on Harrison's work.

This is a solved problem. See UUIDv6 and higher.
Unfortunately, Zig doesn't currently have intrinsics for non-temporal loads/stores. Not a problem for embedded chips since they don't have cache hierarchies, but high performance bus messaging in x86 and ARM processors (e.g. PCIe TLPs) absolutely requires it.

I mean, how is this true if he doesn't know which watch is "wronger" and by what margin of error? If it is 2pm and one watch shows 2pm and another 1:30pm the average is worse off than having one watch that shows 1:46pm.
> I was a smalltalk programmer back in the 1990s

Smalltalk (and languages in the same academic orbit, like LISP derivatives) seems to be a tool that fits a few people's hands very well, but there are no large smalltalk projects for two reasons:

- that doesn't actually suit most people, so it's harder to find developers

- the language maps well to one (1) human brain that keeps a model of what's happening, but that breaks down when larger teams of developers are involved.

I guess that keeps the "small" in smalltalk.
It's not unplanned. The transformer architecture was literally created for better language translation.
Isn't OpenAI still operating at a loss? You can't infer much from an API bring cheaper if it's being subsidised.
You can also add a list of exclusions easily in the KeepassXC password generator. I do because when you type in a long password on a TV remote, or similar interface, and then realise the l1|I were confused it's soooo0 infuriating.
Imagine if we spent a trillion dollars a year on diplomacy instead of murder and mayhem.

A trillion dollars would go a long way to solving poverty around the world. We'd be loved instead of despised.

Alas, the wrong folks are in charge, and they're not interested in diplomacy. No profit in it.
These are only JS engines. There is a dedicated page for Rust with Bevy: https://www.webgamedev.com/engines-libraries/rust-game-dev

I guess that what OP meant is that LLMs are not specifically trained to do translation, they learn to do it as a side effect.
There is an issue proposing this approach: https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/4284
I can't wait until Groq or someone else release tiny mobile inference engines specifically for phones and the like.

DeepL is also very bad, it ties with google in plenty of very basic sentences.

Ah true, the heading is currently "Web Game Engines & Libraries" which seems to have confused me. A better heading would be "JS/TS Engines & Libraries" I guess, as many of the Rust ones enable "Web" usage too.
"Online" and "accounting" in the same sentence? I'm out.
They are not looking to make margins on the OS or the hardware. They want adoption and distribution. The money will be made later on extracting value from the ecosystem they are trying to build. Whether that is with a higher end product later on, monetising the OS/ecosystem later on with ads or app fees is not relevant at Thai stage. What they are trying to do is to build a new ecosystem that they are entrenched and that they control firmly. They are trying to build the android of VR to put it simply
I don't get the drama either. The issue I have with CSS is less about the spec itself, and more about browser compatibility. I'd be dead with caniuse.com and MDN. Having said that, when I build a new page, I rarely need to spend more time laying out the html & css than it takes to type it out and test. Creating cross platform, responsive web pages is a solved problem now.
>People trust Google Translate to not go off-topic or "hallucinate"

Then "people" have no idea what they're doing. Google Translate and Deepl "hallucinate" way more than the likes of GPT-4 and Claude 3 for Translation.
I'm not sure that is a good comparison. My old car cost ~$500 and weighed about 1000kg. If anything that is a comment on consumerism and not the value of things.

The value of this platform comes from the R&D, scale, support, packaged software, etc, etc.

Assuming they sell 10000 units at an average ~$300. At that scale likely a $100 of each unit is in parts/tooling, then assembly/flashing/testing. That's approximately $20mn to be split by:

1. Likely minimum team of 10 people on development for 4 years, at ~$100k per year (with overheads), for $4mn. Kickstarter in 2020: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/petoi/bittle

2. Investors probably threw in $4mn along the way and look to claw that back (couldn't find investment info on a quick search).

3. Tax appears to be ~20% in most places, so 20% of $30mn is $6mn.

Leaving approximately $6mn, everybody gets a bump and they are left with enough to expand and run the company for ~2-4 years without needing to raise additional investment. That's a lot of pressure to get a new product out there.
No... I mean LLM's use a GPU. Hence why the cost is different.

Changing Google Translate to use an LLM would become much more expensive for Google.

This is why you see a different cost structure for using "AI". LLM's can't realistically use the CPU for anything serious.
Yeah I guess so? I don't work there no explanation for why it's unuseably bad for one of the most popular languages in the world

Google Translate use recent neural net tech, and does hallucinate translations, since years ago.
Translating from french to english, sometimes it miss the translations by a lot just because an accent is missing.

I don't think that your Trip Advisor example is a good one, because there's already a threshold there : having to make a Trip Advisor account (and keep it from being flagged). Unless TripAdvisor's reviews are actually anonymous rather than pseudonymous ?! Isn't that the kind of super-targeted, high cost / high reward scam that smarter bots don't help with because its automation doesn't help much ?

Also, if even pseudonymous accounts can be (meaningfully) penetrated by bots, then what prevents article's deep web from being penetrated and destroyed too ? (In fact we've already seen it happen on the likes of Facebook years ago, its faster, pseudo-ephemeral nature making things worse I guess ?)

Nobody was doing that until Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014. Europe was unilaterally disarming itself. Armies like Bundeswehr saw a 5x-10x reduction in manpower, artillery, tanks and other weapons between the end of the Cold War and 2014. Europe hosted 5000 US tanks in 1980s. The last one left in 2013. Russia invaded Ukraine the next year.
If the West were being attacked, we'd be flying fighter sweeps over enemy territory to interdict the attackers before they were in range; this would be after conducting SEAD/DEAD attacks to suppress the SAM threat and/or attacking their airfields with stealthy stand-off munitions.

We certainly have the missile technology to shoot these bombs down, if necessary, but there's no percentage in deploying expensive/limited missiles to do that if you can take down or deter the launch platforms.
Ah, yes, then I agree completely!
How would this work when loading the page the first time? Would you check the window size and reload once just to get the first layout? And would you reload the page every time the window is resized?
This assumes that Ukraine can’t make its own alliances without asking permission from daddy Russia first. I wouldn’t expect my country to ask permission, would you?
The whole point of glide bombs is that you can drop them further away from the air defence bubble - if you're not worried about air defence you just bring your planes in close and dump bombs directly on the enemies' heads! They're a reaction to a strong air defence, not a tactic enabled by a weak one.

I do think you're right that the counter is to shoot down the planes dropping them, but my understanding is that the way you'd do that is with fighters, not GBAD. If Ukraine had stealth fighters with Meteors patrolling close to the frontlines then the bomb missions would be very dangerous. If they do not have any fighters at all then they are cakewalks, barring Patriot stuntwork. If they have an exhaustible supply of F-16s with AMRAAMs then it is difficult to predict.

It's one of the most infuriating things about Apple.

The ram tax so absurd it's bordering on criminal, but it also just seems stupid, because if they hadn't put 8gb's of ram in the new smallest macbook air m2 their whole lineup would be more than capable at running local quality LLM's, or double their gaming devices because of their awesome chipset giving them 16gb's of vram essentially, but no, not now when 25% have low ram, ie. no new OS LLM updates.

Also we can't have gaming because half their new sold devices have shit ram, so they also kind of already ditched their "gaming" plan they just got started on a year ago - all because they wan't to push products with ram levels from 10 years ago - bizarre!

They must be betting on local AI as a "pro" feature only.

I think having a universal 3-life max is very harsh. I died on level 9 and was sent back to level 1. No way am I going to do the first 9 again, so I won't find out what was on 10.

I think it would be more casual friendly to have infinite repeats in every level, but you could have a total count of deaths, for people who care about their score.
I thought of a better example to illustrate my point here. Cryptocurrencies. Someone into cypherpunk ideology is better able to evaluate which cryptocurrencies have technical innovation and potential vs which are just memy also-ran shitcoins or even outright scams (e.g. Onecoin was HYIP-scam that didn't even use cryptography at all)

Seconding this. Sounds trivial and stupid but just having an an automated check for a corresponding changelog entry before acutally versioning/releasing is a huge improvement.

If the release management/tagging is often done from developer machines instead of happening in/via CI, I'd also advise checking for a clean worktree (no uncomitted changes) before allowing a release.

I don't try to predict what Apple will succeed with any more, not after the iPad. A major use case for the personal computer is games too and they don't try to compete there either.

They could turn this AR headset thing into a success, with version 2 or 3.

Maybe they figure that there are more (well-off) people interested in watching TV on a giant virtual screen than playing VR games, and maybe they're right.

Regarding price, 10 years ago the idea of spending €2000 on a phone was unheard of but enough people are doing that now to justify the existence of the iPhone 15 Pro Max. If anyone can do it, Apple can.
Great observation.

I started learning programming years ago and never had an inclination to become a software engineer professionally.

Whilst everyone is doomscrolling about AI taking over, I am learning basics and fundamentals of programming and having so much fun.

Its the only activity that gives me flow state these days and actually allows to build something from nothing.

I wish I could pickup the skills faster, but I also realize that I'd be probably miserable...

It's fair to point that out, but the "plan" right now is to build AGI that is able to do a ton of things.
Current frontier models are not optimized to be best in class translators, they just happen to be really good at that as well.
One thing it has going for it is speed though - just about instant after you type each word. Even though I use ChatGPT4 for translating and explaining most Finnish, I still use Google Translate for a quick translation.
Okay, but that's a markedly different problem than the information density of the training data. It's: "can a rational machine trained only with natural language descriptions of the world form complex representations of it and solve associated problems described only in natural language?".

For you and me, a verbal description of a pattern test such as "You are given seven squares. Square A contains a filled cross in the upper left position, an empty circle in the middle... etc." would send us grasping for pen and paper. But with training many people can play mental chess, there are famous blind theoretical physicists and so on. This all seems to suggest that natural language could be called "Turing complete", to bastardize the term, for describing the real world to a rational entity and formulating solutions to real world problems.

There's a self-hosted option that's free.
It feels like it's going to be closer than that. People always forget that GPT4 and Opus have the advantage of behind-the-curtain tool use that you just can't see, so you don't know how much of a knowledge or reasoning leg-up they're getting from their internal tooling ecosystem. They're not really directly comparable to a raw LLM downloaded from HF.

What we need is a standardised open harness for open source LLMs to sit in that gives them both access to tools and the ability to write their own, and that's (comparatively speaking) a much easier job than training up another raw frontier LLM: it's just code, and they can write a lot of it.
This project, along with TernJS, really inspired me to dig into the wild world of type inferencing of JavaScript with minimal annotation. TypeScript, or even JS with JSDoc comes with learning overhead. Pure JavaScript projects often cannot be easily typed in TypeScript's way without major refactoring, and sometimes a lightweight editor plugin suffices to provide enough insight for ease of development. There is no one-size-fit-all solution, and I wonder how far can something like context-aware autocompletion can go without TypeScript.

This is bash, not zsh, but I have this working in my dotfiles by just telling bash where to look for my custom on-demand completions:

https://github.com/NateEag/dotfiles/blob/6862726ad2ecaa3a30e...

I imagine something similar works for zsh.
It does handle arbitrary aspect ratios by scaling the image to fit the width of the column. What else should it do?
It also allows you to define different widths for each column. Isn’t that exactly what you want for a masonry layout?
I’m fascinated by this since I use translate regularly. Do you have an example of google translate doing this?
All of the images have only a constraint on the width, the aspect ratio is irrelevant. You can still do it with a grid, you just let the browser render the images within as it would normally.

Where it gets more complicated is getting them all to align horizontally at the bottom, which even this proposal doesn't do. Pinterest, of course, solved this by not having a "bottom."
Accidentally? How can something be intentionally/ unintentionally popular?
That example doesn't achieve the second objective of the proposal, "It distributes content across the page (instead of flowing down each column, one by one)."

> This is why blind people only ever use iOS.

That's not why. It's because iOS has great features for the blind, and iOS developers care about accessibility and making good apps.
Unlike Google translate, you can ask for more work if you're dissatisfied with a translation or want an explanation of a word choice or grammatical construct. This makes it much more versatile.
My proposal would be to put the image dimensions in the name of the image file. example-400x200.jpg

Without that I cant think of an "easy" to implement formula to keep each column the same length.

If given a group of numbers, how would one divide them into 8 groups the same size?

Extra fun: You may increase each number by n in order to make each group exactly the same size. n must be as small as possible.
