Garbage can be found just about anywhere now. There is a TV show called Alone where people try to survive off the land in remote locations. There’s a limit to how much stuff a person can bring with them but they are allowed to use any items they find. In almost every season someone finds something that was dumped. The whole world is becoming a garbage dump. There are giant garbage patches in the oceans now. It’s disconcerting that we have done so much damage to the planet.

Windows CE however DID finally make it onto a Sega SH-powered console, the Dreamcast.

And only within the last decade has it become easily accessible to play those games at full speed with an open source emulator, such as Flycast, mainly due to the performance impact of implementing the MMU.

Machine learning is neither good or evil
This is also why image generating models struggle to correctly draw highly variable objects like limbs and digits.

They’ll be able to produce infinite good looking cardboard boxes, because those are simple enough to be represented reasonably well with averages of training data. Limbs and digits on the other hand have nearly limitless different configurations and as such require an actual understanding (along with basic principles such as foreshortening and kinetics) to be able to draw well without human guidance.
Breakthrough in imaging 3D chemistry at nanometer res with electron tomography
Measuring the three-dimensional (3D) distribution of chemistry in nanoscale matter is a longstanding challenge. Here, high-resolution 3D chemical imaging is achieved near or below one-nanometer resolution. Multi-modal data fusion enables high-resolution chemical tomography often with 99% less dose by linking information encoded within both elastic (HAADF) and inelastic (EDX/EELS) signals. We thus demonstrate that sub-nanometer 3D resolution of chemistry is measurable for a broad class of geometrically and compositionally complex materials.
As a military brat, time is intrinsically connected with place for me. Once I leave someplace, it's often some time before I'm able to visit again, if I ever get to. I became aware very early in adulthood (maybe, unconsciously, in childhood) that what's thought of as familiar is reliant on temporal as well as geographic proximity. Things cease to exist as you knew them quite quickly.

Even if nothing gets built or demolished, trees grow.
But it also doesn't apply to voice calls or even multi-party meetings held over something like Teams despite the ability to record or even auto transcribe them.

>If your device is associated with the "Find my Mac" "Find my iPhone"

I said "if your device".

**IF**

Is it difficult to understand?

If it isn't associated (with "find my" turned on) there's no issue.
If it is, and you lose your apple ID, you are SOL. Turning on "find my" with an associated apple ID is the same as making Apple the only entity that can truly control and own your computer. You can no longer reinstall macOS without your apple ID if there's an issue.

To add to that, Japan still has that horrible structure where phone makers sell to carriers, which then sell the phone to customers. For instance newer Samsung phones can't be bought outside of a single carrier (docomo/ahamo etc.).

Subsidies are also stil the wild wild west, with the regulators teppidly trying to do something about it but with no real change in sight. Buying from a carriers will reduce the real phone price up to a quarter depending on how you do it, and the carrier will have buy backs to sweeten the deal further, so you'll be eating what the carrier feeds you.

And that's all compound with the same phone supporting different network bands depending on where they're sold, and resale value plumetting because of that (even if you carrier unlock the phone, it won't support all of other carriers' network bands)

The iPhone winning so big is in no small part thanks to Apple not getting in bed with the carriers.
I feel you're onto something, and like others on the thread, I've got too many anecdotal observations of service providers blatantly being in-your-face apathetic in the US vs, say, Japan where even if forced by convention, people do need to at least appear to really care. Is there formal research on this phenomenon?

I think the point is that Google is creating an incentive to have useless content on your website if you want to show ads on it.
Which is probably part of the reason Flutter is getting shuttered. The Google brand is too unreliable to capture developer mindshare now.

It happened to me too, with my simple site for generating acrostic poems [0].

It would only show the poems create. I tried Adsense, was rejected for lack of content (probably, because they are mysterious about the reason they reject you). Then I tried adding lists of words starting with the letters used as initials for the acrostics. Rejected again.

Then I gave up, and decided to use affiliate links.

Serendipitous that just a few days back, I received an email stating that my unused Google Playstore Developer account was going to be shut down. I had only made and taken off one app some years back, and that was built with Flutter, the only mobile app framework that I know.

Thankfully I don't make a career out of Flutter, unlike some really talented exceptional folks like Remi Rousselet and Marcin Szalek. Imo, Flutter was such an awesome refresh in mobile, but lost their way when they messed around with Web dev, which was entrenched React territory, with a very shoddy experience.

After this announcement, I'll be 100% going with React for my side projects.

I asked an LLM: "if there was infinite technology and no limitation on science or physics what would be the most ecological way to dispose of garbage" this was the response:

Complete Material Recovery: Every scrap of waste could be broken down at the molecular or atomic level and then reassembled into raw materials. This would be a perfect form of recycling where nothing is wasted, and materials are perpetually reused.

Energy Conversion: Garbage could be converted directly into clean energy through highly efficient processes, perhaps even approaching 100% energy conversion without any emissions or residues.

Biological Integration: Waste could be processed using engineered organisms or bio-systems that decompose or transform all types of waste into environmentally beneficial substances, like nutrients that support ecosystems rather than disrupt them.

Space Disposal: With no limitations, safe disposal methods could involve sending waste to the sun or other celestial bodies designed to safely contain or annihilate it without any impact on Earth or its environment.

is any company working on these solutions?

How Stimulus and Turbo work together, is basically this: Turbo lets you do partial page updates. Stimulus works a bit like a super light framework for UI only functionality (Toast messages, Error notices, etc). We have made both applications that are pretty stateful and more display and read only, and its way faster to both develop and run than React pages imo. Compared to standard ERB pages in Rails, where if you want to change some value on the page, you need to reload the whole page. Turbo lets you split these up into components with their own controllers, and views, and components. Then only reload the components you need to reload. So you end up with a lot more performance, a lot less redraws, and a lot less database activity for complicated pages.
I don't understand why you believe it must experience continuous time. If you had a system which clearly could reason, which could learn new tasks on its own, which didn't hallucinate any more than humans do, but it was only active for the period required for it to complete an assigned task, and was completely dormant otherwise, why would that dormant period disqualify it as AGI? I agree that such a system should probably not be considered conscious, but I think it's an open question whether or not consciousness is required for intelligence.

Explanation from the Chat:

> The paper does not explicitly state that they can "take pictures" of individual atoms. Instead, it focuses on the improved ability to map the chemical composition of materials at sub-nanometer resolution using a combination of electron tomography techniques. This means they can visualize the arrangement and types of atoms in three dimensions with very high precision, rather than imaging individual atoms directly. The advancements significantly enhance the detail and accuracy in studying materials at the nanoscale.

Cool
I recently bought an iPhone due to peer pressure after using pixel for years. I think the ux is better on android, every common function takes more gestures on iPhone. Typing this comment reminds me of how annoying it is to edit text with an iPhone. I think there was maybe a time when iPhone ux was better but maybe not. Still I feel better from the perspective of pure vanity when I pull the iPhone out, or those blue texts show up. It sucks.
If you’re really looking for a tool to collect small steps/script I highly recommend you check out the ‘just’ cli tool. It’s completely replaced our use of Make and the syntax is much easier.
Congrats on the launch!

I find it relevant to what I want to do next and put in some time to understand the application vs other stuff e.g. Langchain. And if my understanding is correct, what this tries to do is:

For a lot of typical web services, there're non-realtime batch-processing data processors, e.g. search engine's crawler and indexer, or database's OLAP system, Hadoop, spark, etc. Once their processing is done, they will output data in arelevant, easy-to-use form for real-time web services to consume, e.g. search engine's index, or a list of e-commerce's best selling items.

If we extend such analogy to today's LLM RAG application and compare it with an out-of-the-box Langchain or LlamaIndex implementation, we'll realize everything is in one process altogether. Of course, for demo purpose, they have to.

Cognita tries to fit in by splitting the process into real-time and not real-time parts, on top of existing LangChain and LlamaIndex, and comes with an API endpoint for each part and a web UI for user querying.

For my use case, I'm looking into setting up a very basic RAG-based internal doc QA app, to see if this helps with some of our notoriously bad wikis. So I'm likely going to use this UI and just shovel whatever simple LangChain or LlamaIndex implementation into it. I'm not that interested in the modular design. Honestly, I could see a couple of different ways each market segment approaches such a problem: for demo/mainly static document/low stake application, the need to periodically refresh vector-db is non-existent; for companies with enough engineering expertise, they'll likely put the data processing part into existing data processing framework; for the rest segment, they probably can also get away with putting the whole offline data processing into a very long python script, setup cron and call it a day.

---

I haven't look into RAG in a year or so, but my overall sensation is this: 1. the RAG layer (on top of vector-db) isn't technically difficult, vs say OS development, database development, etc, after all, text manipulation has been around since 60s. 2, since the whole LLM generation is very sensitive to prompt, an early, too rigid abstraction likely do more harm than good.
What does a prompt for this look like?
The idea that they are is a construct for the benefit of employers, not workers.

Exactly. Apple has more influence over the cellular industry in America than any single company including the carriers themselves.

They could completely design the spec by themselves with all the pro-consumer features that one could imagine including things like distributed spam filtering and then force the carriers to adopt it either by using the stick (force adoption by X date or lose the iPhone) or the carrot (shift proprietary iMessage features to the new standard so that users demand the carrier adopt it -- basically green bubble any carrier that doesn't use the standard). No other company in the country could do this.

But of course, complete control over a proprietary iMessage protocol that they can lock competitors out of is apart of the business strategy.

There is no uniform law. In the EU most countries have this type of laws but they all vary in the duration and scope. In the US is more or less similar as it varies by state and many don't have any laws regarding this.

But even the more permissive laws have many exceptions, like not applying to perishable goods, underwear, lipstick, etc. and it's heavily tilted for unused products or very light us that doesn't affect the value of the product when re-sold.

When the product doesn't work like in the case of this Apple situation, it's not even a question. As long as the hardware is not damaged and everything is return, "the law" completely sides with the consumer.

There will always be issues with human nature that any system will struggle with. Isn't practically every country today capitalist? Is everybody now living in a kind of paradise, if we are assuming that capitalism is the ideal system?

Isn't it a bit strange that we are always trying to force everybody into the same system, regardless of personal preferences? But the "system" of course is domination by some people over others, and what else would they want? Would they ever accept that some people may want to be left alone, free from their domination? The usual mainstream political discussion is only over what form of domination is preferable.
