Do you know why the System Requirements pages exist? Do you know who uses them? Do you know what the user does when he opens the System Requirement page and can not find the information whether this or that machine capable of running the software?

Please don't read what I didn't write and have some respect for those who has just unfreezed from a time capsule. Disability to define whether I can run the program even after looking at the System Requirement page is kind of annoying.

They just apologize for not be able to express "users can express themselves and bring their ideas to life through iPad".

~15 years ago I played an MMO that was very real-time, and yet all of the communication was TCP. Literally you'd click a button, and you would not even see your action play out until a response packet came back.

All of the kids playing this game (me included) eventually figured out you could turn on TCP_NODELAY to make the game buttery smooth - especially for those in California close to the game servers.
What amazes me is the idea that at some point, a human being took their last look at the artwork of their gemstone jewellry, and then .. some thousands of years later, here we are gazing into the same nooks and crannies in wonder at the skills of the artist. One wonders, will some AI archeologist in the future, be digging through a cacaphonic digital noise, find some long-forgotten iCloud backup, and wonder at the collection of garden pictures I've left behind ..
I've seen this too, but luckily someone one the internet gave me a pointer to the exact problem so I didn't have to go deep to figure out.
The point is that heritability is not inheritability. The former only tracks the latter in highly specific experimental circumstances that generally do not obtain.

Of course a scottish accent isnt inheritable. The point is that the heritability statistic is near 100%.

There is no statistics for inheritability. We have no idea, in general, what is inheritable and what isnt. It requires the kinds of experiments which are practically impossible or unethical.

> become more and more generic and dull

Obviously we don't want experience averaging NPCs.

> Mad Hatter’s first goal is to ask the player to humor him with a joke.

This is ok for simple stylized, small world, single storyline games, but not for open worlds.

For that, NPCs need their own motivations, so they essentially play the game too. With needs like maintain their smithy, so they can build quality armor, so they can make customers happy, so they can make money, so they can feed their family. I.e. not just being props.

And flexible in how they adjust subgoals to meet their core goals, relative to player interaction: such as being convinced to go on a trek as an armorer, or on a search to find and extract rare materials for a magical shield. Willing to fight in revenge for their home town's sacking.

Westworld got NPC dynamics right.
Microsoft considered doing this for a while. After the windows phone failed they had this whole plan to make Android devices with compatibility to Android apps by implementing their own version of Play Services backed by Bing and their own store.

Last I heard it got scraped. I imagine it is a lot harder than it sounds and would still require devs to manually push their apps to the Microsoft store (which could be quite hard to convince devs to do).

Funnily enough reimplementing the Play Services API would probably be 100% okay legally because of the Oracle vs Google lawsuit.

If anything Google would be very okay with this to reduce the heat they are getting from anti trust regulators. As long as Microsoft never got large enough share of the market.

But oh well, this is probably never gonna happen...
> People have just become overly sensitive it seems.

I hear this said a lot, but know of no psychological evidence that
people have actually become more "sensitive" (by which I mean
neurotic, defensive etc).

What's happened is that people became better informed, educated, and
communicative. They're more comfortable with expressing. And that's
mainly down to technology which facilitated cultural change.

It is natural for that to turn inward. This is the evolution of
critique. It took many years from Gutenberg to Vanity Fair. Literary
criticism only emerged once the medium itself was mature.

The same thing is happening in technology as Lewis Mumford predicted.
Technological critique. has come of age with AI.

Anybody so unsophisticated as to ignore that, like Apple, is doomed.

No one gives a shit how "thin" or "powerful" your gadget is. They care
what it means to them and their values. Apple, of all organisations,
should be mindful of that.
See, no one cares...
I'm doubtful. I don't think advertisers generally will want to pay for their results to come up in conversations about suicide and I don't think OpenAI will want the negative publicity for handling suicide so crassly for the pittance they would get on such a tiny portion of their overall queries.
While I agree with you on the basic premise that those scans are likely reflection of how ADHD brain works in general and not strictly how ADHD brains processes glucose.

It's been shown that ketogenic diets - where whole body and brain switch to fat/ketones instead of glucose for power helps with Epilepsy (and was it also Parkinsons).
Yeah, that's a fair point. I haven't yet watched the 3rd season of Made in Abyss. Have been hesitant to do so due to its reputation. ;)

Hai to Gensou no Grimgar has both manga, and light novels, that stretch on for many more chapters past the anime. The Manga was good and continues on well from the anime. After reaching the end of that I picked up the light novels to continue on further.

Unfortunately (around novel 13 I think?) the author clearly didn't know what to do with the story and it turned silly and boring, so I moved on to other stuff. :(
There is this delightful anecdote of former World Champion Jenson Button, who did a one-race stand-in for Fernando Alonso. After the race Alonso thanked him via Radio for bringing his car back in one piece and Button proceeded to radio back that he just peed on his seat.
X being network transparent hasn’t been true for decades — no one uses xmotif and similar GUI libs, they just grab a buffer and paint stuff themselves, making the X protocol an inefficient format to carry bitmaps around.

Local-first is the correct approach as the end computers are significantly more powerful than 30 years ago. Plus, we can transport bitmaps far more efficiently with compression, so it’s quite obviously an improvement on every metric, it is pretty shortsighted to note it down as circular development.
Petty virtue signalling is very much a curse of social media, even modern discourse.

I agree that such code should be fixed but having hard time persuading developers to fix their code. Many of them don't know what is a syscall, how making a syscall triggers sending of an IP packet, how a library call translates to a syscall e. t. c. Worse they don't want to know this, they write say Java code (or some other high level language) and argue that libraries/JDK/kernel should handle all 'low level' stuff.

To get optimal performance for request-response protocols like HTTP one should send a full request which includes a request line, all headers and a POST body using a single write syscall (unless POST body is large and it make sense to write it in chunks). Unfortunately not all HTTP libraries work this way and a library user cannot fix this problem without switching a library which is: 1. not always easy 2. it is not widely known which libraries are efficient and which are not. Even if you have an own HTTP library it's not always trivial to fix: e. g. in Java a way to fix this problem while keeping code readable and idiomatic is too wrap socket into BufferedOutputStream which adds one more memory-to-memory copy for all data you are sending on top of at least one memory-to-memory copy you already have without a buffered stream; so it's not an obvious performance win for an application which already saturates memory bandwidth.

I'm not Japanese and it was upsetting to me

Not because eg one piano got destroyed; surely that happens all the time, even on camera for eg movies and such. But there was something about watching beautiful objects be destroyed, in slow motion, gratuitously, and with an upbeat/sunny tone, that just aesthetically made me squirm in my seat
What I never understood is how Spice is not elevated to a separate product. It does a fantastic job handling the graphical, audio, and peripheral connections to VMs, so how come there isn't a Spice server that I can just install to whatever Linux system and remote to it with the Spice clients that are already there?

Also, I'd like to plug Sunshine - I think it works on Wayland, and from the tests I did it does a fantastic job on a local network to make a desktop usable, even from an Android device. The downside is that whatever happens on the remote screen, it must happen on the host screen as well, so you can't have the host locked while you do gaming on it for example.

It's not. We need a sustainable size of population. Unlimited population growth is not sustainable. It doesn't mean that we are going to die out.

> given that ads have essentially no impact on me

They do. You are just not aware of the impact they have.
Your internal view of the brand is being changed or challenged. This causes a type of psychological stress. The iPad is only a machine but Apple the brand has carefully created a brand with emotions feeling and thoughts around it.

People invest themselves in their ideas. the ad isn't concerning for what it does in the ad, but for how it is changing the internal feeling of the brand.

It is like remembering when thinking about a car changed for you. From just a car as a kid to something else, something with more meaning. It's why all car adverts are about emotions.
They are also notoriously anti-repair, block access to spare parts (despite their recent fake pro-repair marketing) so all their repairable products end up in landfills. People are focusing on the irrelevant ad, but the real harm is elsewhere.
This looks really good, thanks for sharing. Like other commenters, I use Zotero and will probably stick to that for the near future. The main feature for me in Zotero is sync'ing across devices. I usually read and annotate papers on iPad, and love that my highlights and notes are synced for when I write and need to reference them on either my MacBook or Windows desktop.

Your note-taking solution seems far superior though. Sometimes I wish we could smash together different software into just the right thing for us.
we should bring back sumptuary laws, can make it legal by prohibiting the sale of some materials to nonaccredited investors with the consequences of unlimited tax to the business

I get how the creative team got here, but boy I'm surprised it aired: I would've thought you'd focus group something like this in the target market?
Its more that it pissed off its core market.

The whole point of apple is that its aimed at the "creative" segment. Whether they are actually creative or not is another matter. One of the core pillars of apple's appeal is that creative people use it's stuff.

The main pitch is that Apple helps you be creative as an augment. Look at all the other Ads they pitch to creatives.

The ironic thing is that the advert neatly sums up what the tech/media giants are trying to do to the creative segment (and have been doing for a while)
I'd pitch for a mix of 2 and 3.

To set my bias, I'm surrounded by music people and their instrument is basically an extension of themselves, they spent hours everyday touching it, for their whole life since 4. For some it's also the most expensive thing they own.

Some violinists are put off by music videos with violins played in the rain. Apple's ad would be traumatic.

> The idea that people can't make art or express themselves for fear of other artists' outrage is what's truly outrageous.

Eliciting a reaction is part of art, and people getting outraged is par for the course. You're also totally free to outraged at the outrage, that's the cycle.

No? Any creative work with an influential impact may be subject to critical analysis. You can disagree with the conclusions, but it's hard to disagree with the act of analysis.

> we may likely discover that a huge portion of [a human brain] is redundant

Unless one's understanding of algorithmic inner workings of a particular black box system is actually very good, it is likely not possible not only to discard any of its state, but even implement any kind of meaningful error detection if you do discard.

Given the sheer size and complexity of a human brain, I feel it is actually very unlikely that we will be able to understand its inner workings to such a significant degree anytime soon. I'm not optimistic, because so far we have no idea how even laughingly simple, in comparison, AI models work[0].

Premise there is that while "normal" (average neuro typical) brain works just fine with either glucose or ketones - it's different for non-typical brains.

And through bypassing damaged or suboptimal glucose pathways, you also bypass problems that come with it.

Of course it might also be that ADHD brains simply do come from evolution of what used to be Hunters (as opposed to Gatherers). It wouldn't be too unreasonable to think Hunters ate more fat and protein than Gatherers.

They did make it, but with Amazon’s backing. Subsystem for Android is still available and works surprisingly well, but thanks to Microsoft’s similarly short attention span than Google’s, it is discontinued.

Though while we are at it — why is there no easy way to run android on gnu linux desktops? Hell, why is the latter not rebuilt on top of the much better android primitives? Like so many stuff is just solved in android which are laughably bad in linux desktop, like it’s nonexistent security.
All LLMs in that regime can be run on mid-range gaming hardware today.

It's rather sad that even the author concluded that they would continue to use Airbnb in the future, and there are no real consequences for the company. The profit from scammers as much as from legitimate users, so like Google (blogspam) or Amazon (fakes) or Etsy (drop shipping), they don't really care about them.

I've limited my exposure to these companies over the last years. But this is a path with a lot of friction, and unlikely to be chosen by most users, so until politicians are pressured enough into doing something, I believe that the scammers will continue to prosper.
> get paid like you should for a job like that

Does that happen very often though?
The X protocol is from a time before proprietary/differentiated GPU devices. Network transparency looks very different when you're doing simple stuff like "render a line" or "render a box". Nowadays even 2D applications are essentially sending arbitrary programs to a standalone accelerator (the GPU) which they expect to have incredible bandwidth.

In the simple case of the past, it made sense to send the primitives. In the complex now it's way more robust to stuff the bitmap over the wire.
Actually, this got progressively worse over time: older cars have really big and non-tinted rear windows, so no problem to "see through" (but I wouldn't want to land on the roof after an accident with one of those). Newer cars, even non-SUVs, are already worse in this regard (smaller windows, often tinted, bigger headrests). If you add SUVs, pickups, vans etc. to the mix it gets even worse.
> I think a few details (and perhaps a small amount of customization) would go a long way.

I hear you and agree 100% - I unfortunately haven't gotten around to writing better documentation nor solid code samples that utilize Radient yet.

Regarding molecule vectorization: that capability comes from RDKit (https://rdkit.org) - I just uploaded a sample to the /examples directory. You're right that molecule-to-audio and audio-to-molecule search is nonsensical from a semantic perspective, but I could see a third modality such as text or images that ties the two together, similar to what ImageBind is doing (https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.05665).
Making and breaking a pile of props is a pretty normal consequence of filming something. The actions of the crew are not the problem.
Natural dyes are common. The main three in medieval Europe were madder, weld, and woad:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubia_tinctorum

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reseda_luteola

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isatis_tinctoria

These give red, yellow, and blue respectively, which are the primary colors of the traditional RYB subtractive color model:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RYB_color_model

However, RYB is a poor match for human vision. The better subtractive primaries are cyan, magenta, and yellow. Mixing red and blue produces a dull, desaturated purple even when you're starting with saturated primaries, and the three main natural dyes are not particularly saturated. Tyrian purple was esteemed because it produced a visibly better purple than mixing woad and madder, which makes a purplish brown. Likewise, crimson from Kermes insects produces a visibly better red than madder:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kermes_(dye)

Poor people would still have colored clothing, because all clothing was expensive hand-made clothing back then, so the marginal cost of dying with the common plant dyes was relatively small. But rich people could afford expensive dyes, and afford multiple applications of the cheap dyes. In some cases there were also sumptuary laws restricting use of expensive dyes. Rich people's clothing would have looked far more garish by our standards.
So much better indeed!
