> What's so much better about content consumption on an iPad that a PC cannot do?

You can more easily use it on your bed, sofa and toilet.
We'll get there.

For me, this is seriously impressive, and I already use LLMs everyday - but a serious "Now we're talkin" moment would be when I'd be able to stand outside of Lowes, and talk to my glasses/earbuds "Hey, I'm in front of lowes, where do I get my air filters from?"

and it tells me if it's in stock, aisle and bay number. (If you can't tell, I am tired from fiddling with apps lol)
So, each stage/each FROM has it's own scope basically. If you define an ARG in the global scope, you have to import it to the local scope before using it.

Not terribly unusual, but I wasn't aware of it - so yeah, wouldn't hurt if the docs for ARG mentioned it.

Maybe submitting a PR for an addition to the docs would help more people than writing a blog post about it?

I've never put any stock in this point, your writings cannot be made distinct from you.

How many messages do you need before you can accrue enough personally identifying information to reveal who that person was? Every time they mention where they live, how old they are, what happens about that?

None of that goes away if you only soft delete the user's profile, leaving all the content and context for anyone to rebuild at their leisure.
Yeah, either do that or raise the floor a foot using the raised floor tiles. Just need to watch out for rodents. Mice love the raised floors.
That's a grim read ...
I interpret each directive in a Dockerfile as creating a new layer of an image. So this ARG-before-FROM gotcha doesn't feel like a gotcha to me, but rather, the consequence of literally interpreting "ARG" and not knowing the side-effects of a directive in a Dockerfile. (Yes, even WORKDIR, ENTRYPOINT, and related instructions create a layer, albeit a 0-byte one)
You'd be right if they had any chance at getting a monopoly, but they don't - there are companies releasing open source models and communities improving on them.

So users get the short term and the long term benefit. Let OpenAI give us their money.
For some things, we have more options than for others. It makes sense to make more choices where more choices exist.
Does "small" and "light" really matter outside naval reactors?

Nuclear power plants seem to be more economic the bigger they are. That's why PWRs, BWRs and CANDUs were initially far smaller than newer ones.

You have the same overhead as with smaller reactors, but you produce more energy, which means the energy is cheaper.

@tosh, any particular reason you shared this? Anything specific there that caught your attention?
The too-bigness is not an issue for YouTube, since YouTube sells ad slots for each view separately.

It's an issue only for the creator, since when they put a sponsor in a video, it's always the same for all the viewers.

When MrBeast has trouble finding a suitable sponsor deal, they probably fill the sponsor slots with their own brand (Feastables).
I mean, I get it. But I don't think they do anything that "phone in hand discreetly tilted near chest/stomach" doesn't do. If anything this has a recording light, and I can use both my hands :P Essentially a miniature goPro strapped to my eyes.

>recording people in public places

Honestly at this point if I am in public I just assume someone (or something - cctv's everywhere) is recording me at all times.
> (And to further what is now a pretty transparent effort to monopolize the tech through regulatory intervention.)

I disagree here also: the company has openly acknowledged that this is a risk to be avoided with regards to safety related legislation, what they've called for looks a lot more like "we don't want a prisoner's dilemma that drives everyone to go fast at the expense of safety" rather than "we're good everyone else is bad".
Once you actually see them typing you'll realize that they're not actually more efficient, just used to it and they don't have as much experience with physical keyboards. Auto completion helps with some things but if what you're doing is not straightforward, well, good luck to ya.
Until your banking or ID app doesn't work as you need Google Play services, or WhatsApp notifications don't work, etc.
I think you missed point 8, "The reactor is in the study phase. It is not being built now."
This is something that worries me a lot too.
For context, two years ago I left my job at a big tech company to build a startup. It failed, but I still have the energy to build new stuff, so that's what I am doing.
My internal conflict today is that when I left it, my worst-case scenario was to just go back to a similar job but with more experience. Now, with AI, everything is going to change, and maybe the opportunity cost of what I am doing today is extremely higher than I expected it to be when I left in case nothing goes well.
This is true, and then they will complain about lack of or poor documentation.
I didn't see a mention of languages in the readme. Does this understand languages other than english?
That's funny and a very good point.

It also tangentially reminds me of an excellent video I re-watched recently called The Tragedy of Droids[1]. I highly recommend it. It raises interesting moral questions about the nature of droids in the star wars universe.

It is possible to use proliferation-hardened fuel, like TRISO, that can't easily be separated again.
It is that and that’s okay, they’re algorithms.
"Intelligence", though difficult to scientifically define, is generally regarded as how quickly one grasps a novel situation, allowing one to come up with a solution quicker than others could.

Although training in certain disciplines can help you score higher on intelligence tests by making the situations they test for less novel (and increase your "intelligence" as measured by the tests due to their foundational assumptions), it will do nothing to increase your actual intelligence - merely skew the results of the imperfect test a little bit.

That's not to say that training for an IQ test is a waste of time! A piece of paper showing a higher score is always valuable for getting ahead in society. And training to make large swaths of situations less novel makes you better able to navigate because now you have relevant experience (and thus require less intelligence to navigate successfully on your "first" try).

I get there is a high similarity between things we all want want during comparable ages / phases of life, and I don't want a specific thing at a specific age per se, but I feel like to me it's a general dissatisfaction of the rate of progression, that seems not to go away – I also get that it's subjective, and fomo due to exposure to many things may sometimes get the best of me
Some chips are not a concern, but a CPU with its firmware most certainly is. NICs would be too, for obvious reasons.

For example, simple gate chips, or I/O chips are likely not a concern.

Also, many other places in the world than Taiwan make chips, they just make a lot.

What makes gopher still relevant in 2024, for information centred
activities (like research [0], as opposed to shopping, gossiping and
showing-off) is that it's structured.

What's becoming irrelevant about the Web is search. The decline of
search - and the whole spider/retrieval model - is a real problem in
the post AI-SEO-optimised spam epoch.

The Web is really a giant heap. People stopped usefully linking over a
decade ago. By contrast Gopher offers a different way of discovering
content because it tends toward structure.

That's the part that really struck me. I thought it was particularly impressive with the Sal Khan maths tutor demo and the one with BeMyEyes. The comment at the end about the dog was an interesting ad-lib.

The only slightly annoying thing at the moment is they seem hard to interrupt, which is an important mechanism in conversations. But that seems like a solvable problem. They kind of need to be able to interpret body language a bit to spot when the speaker is about to interrupt.
> why isn't there a keyboard shortcut to access the clipboard?

You can tap and hold with three fingers to bring up the clipboard bar which has icons for undo, redo, cut, copy, and paste. Assuming that's what you mean by "access the clipboard"?
> It takes me repeated taps on a text entry to get the popover that allows me to paste

> I often find it impossible to drag a selection to select more or less characters.

Your description reminds me of how it felt after that recent OS update I mentioned, until I realized I can turn off spellchecker to restore the previous typing behaviour. Now the copy/paste popover and drag-selection work every time, but I have to really watch for typos.

Like me, you were used to previous behaviour, and the new one is unfamiliar to the point of broken. I agree that Apple has royally screwed up here by making this the default behavior in iOS 17.

However, it’s a bit disingenuous to say it was always broken if it only started working differently in the latest version.

> why isn't there a keyboard shortcut to access the clipboard

On iPad, if you bring up a large keyboard by pinch-zooming the small one, you get those buttons on screen keyboard. (On an external keyboard, the normal macOS copy-paste key combos work always.)

"overbuild" - by what factor?

For example, Europe is quite far to the north and that means very cloudy winters over most of the continent. If the wind blows, fine, but you can also have several days without wind, when both wind and solar north of the Alps generates basically nothing.

Oh yes, the Spanish meseta will probably still be sunny, but the amount of solar that would be needed to power the rest of Europe for several days probably won't even fit there (not to mention how robust would the pan-European grid have to be to tolerate such flux of energy over thousands of kilometers and ten country borders); and if it does, what will you do with all that extra power in summer?

The fact that real (as opposed to nominal max) output of wind and solar fluctuates in a 1:100 range based on factors that are hard to predict more than a few days in advance is really hard to square with the demand for stable grid. It is a big, fundamental problem.
If you tap and hold on the spacebar it essential becomes a trackpad. That let you move the cursor in all directions.

They banned my account a few weeks back because I asked it to translate some Japanese text that was on a kitchen knife. Still no response from their Trust & Safety team. It's frustrating because Claude is really quite good at coding and I used it frequently.
You could also use the heat directly instead of converting it to electricity. Now you could retrofit towns and cities with district heating.

Large companies with huge campuses could also use it for electricity + heating. Industry could also use the heat for chemical processes.

There are also places with small grids, where a bigger reactor can't be easily integrated, like islands or remote villages. I think Canada wants to use their BWRX-300 SMR for remote grids.

That's a huge part of Microsoft's success. They looked the other way regarding "piracy" to gain market share. At least in my country nobody paid for Windows at home. If students and home users had been forced to pay, the adoption of new Windows versions would fall drastically.

True, though gotchas exist when user intuition doesn't match with actual behavior regardless of whether they are mentioned in docs.
these devices are way more insidious though, a gps/mobile tracker would have more limitations due to it being less able to be hidden and less mobile.
Oh, I loved Gunship 2000. So many hours flying those low-poly missions!
Did you try ChatGPT?

Yes, the game you're thinking of is likely "Chuck Yeager's Air Combat," developed by Electronic Arts and released in 1991. It was one of the first flight simulation games to support multiplayer dogfights over a null modem cable. Players could connect two PCs directly via a null modem cable and engage in aerial combat against each other. The game was quite popular for its time and is fondly remembered by many flight simulation enthusiasts.
You can use Google Play services on Lineage os. IIRC they are installed by default though there are ways to use it without them (doing that right now). About banking apps idk.
This is a misleading title.

It got #1 on one benchmark, and #2 on another.

It didn't take the top two spots on a single benchmark.
Good point. They'd have to, and this would mean the energy companies model of "privatise the profits, socialise the losses" might go into hyperdrive.
On the other hand, nuclear energy is heavily subsidised already anyway, and its proponents seem to be very good at ignoring that, so maybe this does not matter to most.
Do you have a source for Geekbench 6 being inconsistent across platforms?

It's a bug postmortem about tokio and rayon. Would be interested to know if anybody else encountered similar issues with these libraries or mixing other libraries that "own" threads
After some testing, I find it's not as good as code too. It is better at some things, but benchmarks don't tell the whole story apparently.

Hopefully this will be them turning a new leaf. Making GPT-4 more accessible, cutting API costs, and making a general personal assistant chatbot on iPhone are a lot different than them tracking down and destroying the business of every customer using their API one by one. Let's hope this trend continues.

The annoying thing is the EDU versions (which allow programming) are substantially more expensive than the base versions (IDK if it's a constant ~$10-12k more, or just 3x the price -- I only have the EDU/ENT pricing on the Go2 dog, which I was going to happily pick up for $3k but I want to program it so I'd need to spend >$10k which is beyond impulse buy territory.)

I almost always find it too verbose and unnaturally mimicy when bouncing the question back. It doesn't paraphrase my request. It's more like restating it.

What I notice most is that almost always repeats verbatim unnaturally long parts of my requests.

This might be more useful to people that do lazy prompting. My nature compels me to be clear and specific in all written text.
> which would not be approved today

It wouldn't even have been approved in the west (maybe Britain would do it, considering what they did with the Windscale piles) when it was originally built in the Soviet Union

PWR reactors that were built around that time in the west, which are already physically safer, have strong containment buildings in case something happens. Chornobyl had a more dangerous design no containment building.
Depends on how you interpret what a programer's role and skin in the game is. by the Google/FB/Amazon level, the programmer is just another cog in the machine being told what to make by a director, who reports to/with some MBAs.

For smaller companies, I'd say programmers have done their share of good and evil. the AI sector is in real time gray area with some very malicious actions not too long ago to try and be first to market.

There is also a difference between "understanding" and "understanding and being practiced" at something.

In the real world is not necessarily important to be able to rattle off information off the top of your head. More import is simply knowing that a thing exists, so you can go and look it up. Lectures are good at providing the latter.

Are these the same projections from places like the IEA that have renewable growth suddenly flattening (something they've hilariously been doing for years)?

I think a reasonable projection of fission is one of long term decline. Even in China the installed capacity curve for nuclear is flattening.

I agree! My little ol' gopher server gets hundreds of hits a day, thankfully not from robots. It's a repository for the unusual and hard-to-find, so (real) people come looking for that. Last year I made a token attempt to modernise it, and opened up a number of categories to my web server. It's all good fun, simple to manage and by and large, used by real humans. What's not to love?
