I can't find mention of it online, but back in 2013 Lockheed Martin purchased a D-Wave machine because they wanted to use it for "AI", which it turned out meant software verification (of fighter jets?) I believe by searching for the possibility of some kind of invalid program state in a large program, which IIRC they couldn't manage to solve with standard solvers. But in that case the number of qubits in a D-Wave machine appears to me far too few for that to be possible, although I don't know the task exactly.

If by "AI" you include operations research (as opposed to statistical machine learning), yes, adiabatic quantum annealing makes sense for certain optimisation problems which you can manage to naturally formulate as a QUBO problem. By 'naturally' I mean it won't blow up the number of variables/qubits, as otherwise a far simpler algorithm on classical computer would be more efficient. I know someone who published QUBO algorithms and ran them on a NASA D-Wave machine, while I myself was using a lot of annealing for optimisation, I didn't want to get involved in that field.

But if you want to do machine learning on a large amount of data using quantum annealing, no, that's terribly badly matched, because the number of physical qubits needed is proportional to the amount of data you want to feed in.
To be honest, I wanted to make the title more specific regarding dependencies but the title was already too big.
>Leonardo was a great individual because he did what he did

Could also equally be that Leonardo did what he did because he was a great individual.

>So what are we supposed to take away from the initial comment?

Probably something that I can add to. That gives me an idea . . .
Before people knew the web was vast and required digging through. Now people think google is the web, so if it doesn't come up by the third search it might as well not exist.
This is where waste to energy plants should be used. It is a shame the unusable clothes are not burnt directly at the source to create electricity and remote heating. Instead it is shipped to the other end of the world by boat and truck and then burnt in open nature for no good.
> but we actually know it's a program and how it works. There is no mystery.

You're right, we do know how it works. Your mistake is concluding that because we know how LLMs work and they're not that complicated, but we don't know how the brain works and it seems pretty complicated, therefore the brain can't be doing what LLMs do. That just doesn't follow.

You made exactly the same argument in the opposite direction, asking if my rubric for "can reason with intelligence and have an opinion" is "seems like it", and your rubric for "thinking is not a token predictor driven by matrix multiplications" is "seems like it".

You can make a case for the plausibility of each conclusion, but that's doesn't make it a fact, which is how you're presenting it.
I eat lots of plant based products, but I avoid all imitation products (products that try to copy the characteristics of animal products) because they have always tasted or felt worse to me.

For example, bean or quinoa or whatever plant based burger patties are great (and cheaper), beyond or impossible imitation meat patties are awful (and expensive). Same with eggs and cheese.
I think that's a slightly orthogonal issue - I'm talking Google Search vs other search providers. I doubt there's a significant gap between Chrome and Chromium.
> The novel approach taken here banishes determinants to the end of the book.

Big fan of this approach! Though I have warmed up to determinants ever since I saw 3Blue1Brown give a fairly intuitive explanation for them [0].

I'm kind of curious as to how they covered eigenvalues/the characteristic polynomial without determinants. Maybe they just jumped straight to diagonalization?

I considered starting to write myself a Rust "wait for it" app myself this past week with more features than the standard one. Not sure how I didn't come across yours during my initial search.

There could be some useful functionality that could be found in startup and health probe topics [1] in Kubernetes for example. But at least in that world, it may be easier, and more transparent, to plug in a startup bash script to run before the main app. For example the Postgres Docker image [2] will run any scripts that may be mounted in a docker-entrypoint-initdb.d directory before starting the server. So putting a bash script in a ConfigMap that gets used as a disk volume, could be easier that downloading/auditing a binary "wait for it" container image.

Markdown Oxide: Personal Knowledge Management system for software enthusiasts
While that suggestion is music to my ears (I've been using Linux/BSD on my private machines for over 20 years), for the overwhelming majority of users, that is not an option. Tons of applications are available only on Windows, and sometimes on macOS. I second-hand observed one case of a company trying to migrate from MS Office to LibreOffice only to realize that they were using add-ins for Office (something SAP-related, IIRC) that were/are not available for anything but MS Office.

Unless Microsoft themselves push for a (yet another) "year of the Linux desktop", I don't see it happening on a large scale. The other option would be for customers (large companies, government agencies) to demand for a change en masse and invest the money needed to make it happen, which I don't see happening in at least the next decade either, as much as I would love to see that.

EDIT: One more option I could think of would be for online security to become such a nightmare large corporations see their profits dwindle, both tech companies and "old school" companies who have become accustomed to using the Internet for their business. Imagine a world where you need to do a clean install each time you connected to the Internet to ensure no sensitive information is leaked and no malware infests your machine. A world where opening an email has become so risky people prefer going back to snail mail and fax. And so forth. I don't really see that happen either, but it seems slightly less unrealistic than the above scenarios.
You go to the myriads of car communities and systematically promote your content for Nurburgring. It’s a niche site, and by the OP’s description we can safely assume that it’s quite usable since he’s been already approached by a sponsor. And since this is a site about a specific car circuit you just go to the actual place, or make an arrangement with the organizers to promote your site. Give a leaflet, or build an accompanying mobile app.

I'm not saying that circumventing Google is the easiest thing in the world, or the cheapest, but it's not mission impossible either. I didn't find Hacker News from Google, not the dozens of other tech communities I'm following.
Quantum computers SHOULD destroy regular computers at knapsack style problems and other combinatorial explosions. The problem there is that decomposing real world problems into 128bit combinatorial selection is really hard.
> If the community wants to be take seriously, they themselves need to sort themselves out

How do you propose we collectively do that? Appointing a UFO Pope and excommunicating the heretics?

Yes, there are folks out there who see any dot in the sky doing anything they are vaguely unfamiliar with and jump to the conclusion that it must be a bona fide alien spaceship. However, this doesn't mean the UFO community is uniformly like that. Nor is the available evidence limited to bright dots in the sky, either.

There will never be "scientific" evidence without scientists willing and funded to obtain it. And if we label every person with an interest on the subject as a "gullible crackpot and a conspiracy loon" then how likely is it that we will fund their research, and how unbiased are we to listen to the results of that research unless it fits exactly within the boundaries of our preconceived ideas of what is even possible.

I don't have the answers to the UFO hypothesis. Never seen one, never want to see one either. But I appreciate any systematic effort to collect data of the objects in our skies and identify them. If nothing else, we will at least be protecting our airspace from foreign adversaries.
`clone()` and `unwrap()` and `todo!()` without fear. Just let it loose.

For me, prototyping is, IMO, about finding shortcuts to demonstrate something that is unknown to you. The idea is that shortcuts represent things you know how to do, but would otherwise take work to avoid and aren't necessary for demonstrating the thing that is unknown. `clone()` and `unwrap()` are just Rust-specific examples of that.
Many people have the following setup in docker-compose.yml file.

version: '3'
services:
mysql:

For cases like this, returning 503 every time the database is not ready, is not very convenient.
Windows 95 was only given a TCP/IP stack and "browser" because of Marc going public with it as company, although they copied theTCP/IP stackf rom FreeBSD and somehow managed to completely fsck it into a buggy mess. Internet Exporer source code is a trip worth reading for the developer folks' comments alone, man there is a lot of swearing in there.

Bill G insisted the internet and this web thing coming about was simply a fad till that happened.. Even children understood better as soon as they were let on to it. I should know, I was one, and it was so blatantly obvious, even to me and many of my childhood friends.

Gotta hand it to Mr. Marc Andreessen
PageRank isn't working well anymore. I use DDG, but it its quality is also flagging.
I've been using DDG for years, works just fine. My remaining usage of Google as a search engine for sport results, cause they have that nice widget to see matches/tables, and on mobile.
I asked this exact question to one of the leaders of QuantumAI, and he explained it’s a leftover name from when this started out with an idea by some researcher at Google that is no longer part of the project.

> Users who want Google search need to either change their browser settings, or install a new browser (two things this community claims that no average user would ever do on a platform where the default was Chrome and Google web search).

Did you miss the part where Google would directly advertise and ask if you wanted to use Chrome instead on Google's search page? Or how it would be bundled with every installer under the sun? Chrome isn't the most popular browser because we collectively decided it's the best. It's because they leveraged their position as the world's search engine and advertiser.

I've worked with tons of your average PC user. They don't even know what a browser is or what a search engine is. If Google asks them if they want to install Chrome, they will always answer yes because why not. It's Google.
In all these cases, tap in with a credit or debit card.

If you have neither, pay cash.
If you don't want to pay for software, that's fine because that's your money and your prerogative.

But if you are feeling a need to lay out excuses to justify yourself, that is just pathetic to witness. Just say you aren't paying for software rather than claiming programming isn't valuable work.

As for normal consumers, they just pay up and go about their day: A fair price for good software that satisfies their needs and desires. There are more people out there buying Windows and Office than there are people freeloading off of Linux and LibreOffice (and much less people who "pay" for Linux and LibreOffice by contributing back).
I had to do a similar thing for my gif maker https://gifmemes.io when I've tried monetization through ads. Luckily for my users, the revenue was less than 10% of what it makes through watermark removal sales, so I've removed ads and dummy content all together.
Are you saying Germans subsidized erotic call centers by accident?
One more factor to consider in your project is whether or not the cloud or non-cloud providers are doing live kernel patching. Most cloud providers are incentivized to do live kernel patching to avoid interrupting their customers, thus not rebooting the hardware. Full reboots at the hardware layer is where most borderline hardware issues are detected during power-on-self-test. Some on-prem companies are doing live patching now to avoid having to swap hardware as often.

> Imposing the death penalty for drug dealers cultivates a social norm about how evil drug dealers are

This is just so unbelievably stupid that I have no words at all.
I think as people get older, after 30, they become set and comfortable in their world of loneliness. The focus narrows so that they only look for the perfect, the one "solution" to their loneliness; "the one." The focus becomes singular when the solution to loneliness is multifaceted; get out, do activities, meet many people, etc. Ergo they remain lonely.
Room for improvement - if they get rid of the pop up now the improvement in metrics will probably remain.

There is an interesting lesson in that on the nature of metrics.
Life is far from fair indeed - I have a deformed hip from a childhood illness that has caused me a lifetime of pain. I should probably have already had it replaced at an age that would be several decades younger than average for that surgery, but I'm too scared of the recovery and living with parts of my skeleton replaced by metal and plastic.

That said, I started a gym routine last year to try and relieve anxiety. I'm quite limited (you have no idea how much you use your hips until you get 8/10 pain for a few days after aggravating them). So it means low-impact activities and upper-body workouts. I didn't think it would make any difference in my appearance; I just needed to move in any way I could. After a few months I started getting comments about putting on muscle and overall looking better. (I lost of lot of weight which is more attributable to cleaning up my diet concurrently to a gym routine) A co-worker I met assumed I must be ex-military which I found funny because the childhood illness I had is specifically named in their document of medical exclusions. I don't think it's any secret that people treat you better when you appear more fit, and it is something that you have some control over.

But I don't believe that looks are motivation enough to get you to the gym every day (at least for me it is not); it's much better to do it for your well-being. Ideally, you can find exercises that both workaround your injuries and that you enjoy. Also, it's not like you need to go hard at the gym for two hours a day every day of the week; just do what you can and take pride in what you are able to achieve within your limits.

I've spent a lot of my life regretting my circumstances in unhealthy ways which I ultimately regret. I can't say that everything is wonderful now or even good, but they are better.

A nice tool for creating app store images
There seem to be four main use cases:

(1) AppStore
This is especially relevant on iPhones and iPads where this is the only way to practically access software and updates.

(2) iCloud
Data sync and backup. Some iPhone/iPad software might insist on this to work.

(3) Subscriptions, purchases through Apple
Music, software, movies, TV shows, Fitness, etc.

(4) ID for other services
Using ApplelD to log into other services. Some don't allow for any other way of signing in.

Agreed. It's not money, its proximity. I was more lonely than ever during WFH. Not having a daily forced human interaction (work) was crippling.

My impression is that big features come directly from Google, although I do know that OEMs contribute things here and here, like Sony "donating" LDAC upstream.
When it comes to scholars, if they came along after Da Vinci, there is some likelihood they studied at least a little something descended from Leonardo himself.

An offline UPS will switch to battery if it doesn't like the input. What qualifies as acceptable input depends on the design and specifications of the UPS. If it expects a real grid-like sine wave and doesn't see one it will reject it, regardless if the load would like it or not.

It could make somethings faster, not everything, but so far the number of useful somethings that people have come up with is very small.

A quantum computer is not a general purpose computer than can be programmed in the way we're used to - it's more like an analog computer that is configured rather than programmed. It's only useful if the problem you are trying to solve can be mapped into a configuration of the computer.
Please note that SpaceX has successfully launched 12 crewed flights, and their "full self pilot roborocket" has landed itself 300 times so far, with the oldest boosters having flown 20 times each (and SpaceX plans to stretch that to 40 flights each).

If you don't like Elon Musk, you can say so, but that's no reason to be dismissive of SpaceX's overwhelming success as a spaceflight company.
And what about competing clothes sellers willing to sell at lower margins and hence lower prices to customers?

The reason this works with clothing for some brands is that some utility of the clothing is in the signaling it provides to the humans wearing it, and the signaling comes from the scarcity of that type of clothing.

A clothes seller selling clothing that signals the wearer is able to afford a more scarce type of clothing is thus ruining their own products’ value proposition by decreasing the scarcity of the clothes.

That is why it might be better to destroy than see it on sale at TJ Maxx or Walmart or whatever cheap store.

Bottom line is clothes sellers are catering to what clothes buyers want. They are not stupid about how to operate their business.

And o11c’s comment about glass makers breaking windows is irrelevant since the glass maker does not own the window they are breaking, whereas a clothes seller owns the clothes they might be destroying.

How software and IT jobs are disappearing in favour of AI
Well, Android development has noticably slowed down and got less attention. Look at Android 14 page. What are those "new features"? Not really worth talking about it you compare with previous versions. And Android 14 barely got mentioned in the previous Google IO.

Meanwhile there is so much that needs improvement in Android. To begin with, password Autofill. Compared to iOS, this is a nightmare.
The biggest problem with Microsoft's products is that they are insecure by default. Once you got that, You see it every where.

Opening attachments in MS Office is insecure, because macros can access all files on the system and execute code willy nilly. Yes there is a button asking if you want to enable macros in the document. If a single user presses that button your org gets owned.

Yes, you can secure everything but 90% of admins don't do anything about it. They sprinkle anti-virus on top and call it a day. If it blows up then they couldn't do anything about it. Microsoft knows this.
The suggestion is literally not to sedate violent people “without due process.” Of course sedating actively violent people is within due process (which is why it’s able to happen repeatedly), but presumably GP is suggesting something closer to acquiring a specific warrant or court order to authorize it. Of course this doesn’t address an emergency situation, so the alternatives are 1) more aggressive/more likely-to-be-deadly force, or 2) don’t stop them at all.

Yes obviously we should strive for zero deaths in these encounters.
