When such solar flares happen, how long does it take for the impact to be felt on earth?

EM waves is probably around 8 minutes (number I heard for visible light), but then the solar wind goes slower, I think.
> It’s using a new specialized Gemini model to summarize the web and show you an answer. It’s even using Gemini to design and populate the results page.

This sounds like a typical overfitting for simple, generic searches, at the expense of anybody who needs precise results. Since google started ignoring operators in some searches, targetted searches have become more and more difficult.

That's really a VERY narrow slice of those societies in Tehran/Mashhad/Isfahan and Kabul.

State surveillance vs. corporate surveillance – Reddit /r/privacy
Ask HN: Fast.com vs. Speedtest.net
I got intro an argument with a T-Mobile rep on what “correct internet experience” looks like.

I have strongly believed in fast.com being the real experience of what multi-cloud internet experience is on a network vs using Speedtest, where hidden under options you can choose to speedtest to a server within an ISP or Telco network (which is a cheat on the how your real internet experience will be).

Eg I was on T-Mobile network in Atlanta and using fast.com to get 5Mbps vs Speedtest which was showing 350Mbps (connecting to a Atlanta server)
It still feels like very early days, Apple has plenty of time.

Also a key difference: Google, OpenAI etc. place a lot of value in selling these AI services to third parties. So they have to hype up their offering, constantly talking about what's coming around the corner, etc. etc.

By comparison I think Apple will be very content to have an entirely closed AI ecosystem that you automatically get when buying one of their devices. They don't have to sell it in the same way.
I'm sorry, but "Support Firefox with occasional sponsored suggestions." isn't good enough?

Bit off topic but I think there is lots of potential for corporate use of WhatsApp as a way of onboarding new employees and as an backup channel when other systems (like teams) fail. It could be a mix of bots, HR and other employees. Something that is better than phone/sms but lighter than the full corporate system.
I find it more interesting you view "AI" as a threat at all, instead of leveraging it to your advantage. Did Squarespace/Wix kill frontend development? Did any low code/no code solution kill development at all?

Suppose you teach addition, multiplication, and division. One teaching approach spends all time teaching addition. The other teaching approach teaches all three topics. An exam is given only over addition, and the first teaching approach leads to better scores. It would be unwise to conclude from this that the second teaching approach should be discarded.

Just for clarity purposes, this is exactly the point of my original comment. The active learning approach may very well be doing a better job preparing students for the test. That's why we should be cautious about concluding students are too dumb to know they're learning more that way. There's more than one interpretation of the data.

The key fact to note about Harry Stonecipher is not that he was influenced by Jack Welch. It's that he was, for the first time in the firm's history, an outside hire. Stonecipher had been President of McDonnell Douglas, which had under his stewardship been merged into Boeing. But he had no access to, no visibility into, no way to monitor, judge, understand, or discipline the je ne sais quoi that made Boeing work.

In order to do his job, Stonecipher undertook to rationalize and simplify and render legible the firm. Lacking access to "soft information" that could only come from developing relationships within Boeing over years of collaboration, he sought to manage the firm on the basis of "objective" so-called hard information. Among the most salient hard information in any business enterprise is cash flows, so the sway of "bean counters" was elevated automatically. Among the least legible information in a firm, to an outsider, is the quality of employee judgment calls, so internal expertise was demoted.

My friend, who do you think writes the tests, and how do you think they get into the system?

Often we're writing new functionality. There are no tests for it, so they're part of the pull request, and must be reviewed to make sure they're actually testing the right thing!
That's probably the reason, and has obvious sandboxing/stability benefits.

Though for iPad to be truly "Pro", there needs to be adjustments made, perhaps through entitlements or some shared storage between apps (user-chosen apps, not necessarily from the same developer as that already exists) or something similar.

Veo is the name of a video model. VideoFX is the name of a new experimental tool at labs.google.com, which uses Veo and lets you make videos.

Thanks for the feedback though, I see how it's confusing for users.
Vaguely unsettling that the thumbnail for first example prompt "A lone cowboy rides his horse across an open plain at beautiful sunset, soft light, warm colors" looks something like the pixelated vision of The Gunslinger android (Yul Brynner's character) from the 1973 version of Westworld.

Incidentally that was one of the early uses of computer graphics in a movie, supposedly those short scenes took many hours to render and had to be done three times to achieve a colorized image.
Total iPad revenue is down both nominally and in real terms. Profit margins are a percent of revenue, so real revenue decline does actually matter and not something a business wants. You'd be laughed out of a boardroom if you suggested otherwise.

Nobody was talking about company-wide revenue, nor cross-comparing products like a desktop to a laptop, this is a discussion on the iPad.

>“sharp decline”

Misquote suggest this is no longer a productive conversation.
How many different AI project names will Google come up with? Most other companies have versions or suites they kinda get behind and start giving them specifiers but Google keeps renaming and coming up with new names for each of their AI products
And yet, every time this comes up people come out to bash Firefox for not going far enough on privacy. The top comments on this HN post are all in that category, as the people who care about privacy actually care about privacy and Firefox's half-assed attempts to walk the line are falling flat for that audience. Meanwhile, as can be seen in these very comments, people seem to have found alternatives: any of the now many forks of Chromium that entirely remove these anti-privacy features they don't want without incurring any other functionality tradeoffs. Firefox could take these users back, but they don't want to: their strategy of throwing away the minority markets so they can be Google-lite in the hope of guilting enough of the majority market into using Firefox is reliant on analytics and they seemingly can't help themselves with the attempts to upsell people on data harvesting services.
So it needs to learn how far each object can travel in 1sec at its natural speed?
I absolutely agree that monarchies have a lot of downsides. Democracies not only provide a bigger pool of potential talent but also align incentives between population and government much better. This seems to also be reflected in economic growth, where democracies typically perform much better.

Still, I think it's important to acknowledge that authoritarian governments have seen a lot of refinement over thousands of years, while democracies are historically the exception and only became popular 300 years ago. Expecting authoritarian governments to just implode without external influence seems unfounded.
I still need some functional alerts, but not the upsells.

Communication with subs uses ELF/SLF (3-300 Hz) when they're underwater--in the US case from some big communications stations. The coastal VLF stations, like in Cutler Maine are more in the 24 kHz range. As I recall, at one point, there were ecological concerns with the ELF stations but apparently the projects ended up going ahead.

We have plenty of answers to that. Mostly they're not being done at scale for the very sensible reason that it is cheaper to replace emitting processes. And it'll be cheaper for a long time.

After that long list of low hanging fruit has been done, then we'll need to industrialize those other options. For now, they're very much in the research phase.

I'm quite bullish about e-fuels personally but even if those never pan out, we have options.
Monetizing SDXL Turbo
If you had access to extremely cheap SDXL Turbo API, what would you use it for?
You can run a SLM (small language model) on an iPhone, and not much else. It would use up all of the resources. The iPhone only has 6 GB RAM.
What downgrade are you referring to?
Why? Preferences. And I don’t mind if YOU go to the office. I mind if you make me do it. I have voted with my feet on this issue before and I would again.
Yup those existed for a long time, though I think we need some entitlement for "app-to-app" or "arbitrary extension" kind of background processing/serving.

The existing ones, while welcome, are not enough for many pro cases. The closest is inter-app audio, which was a good addition but perhaps not extensive enough.

That's Google.

I live in Quebec where the gov electricity monopoly (Hydro Quebec) now insist that new homes have smart meters in, where they can remotely control your thermostat, while simultaneously campaigning to make all alternatives illegal. Curiously we're also a big Tesla market because of the cheap electricity, which is also the reason for the thermostats: they want to turn the heating down in Quebec so they can sell the same electricity for more south of the border.
Nice, thanks (btw, I didn't think you were making it up, it was in the keynote!)

> It was loads better than Google+, which we had tried before.

Most platforms were objectively better than Google+, but it's original implementation (with the drag-able 'Circles') will always be the most missed social network, in my view.

It's transition to small-business focus and then eventual shuttering will always be, in my opinion, the loss of the only truly whimsical social network by a large company. (Path was equally awesome, but the web version basically never rolled out and it died a sad death as well.)
Doesn't an AI search engine cost more in terms of energy? I would also wonder how it avoids being tainted by a web of other AI results of various qualities that it is indexing. It would appear to become more expensive to operate, thus requiring more ad revenue to support it but providing less useful results over time.
I don't think it's just the techies. iPad is Apple's least popular hardware line, behind both iPhone, Mac, Apple Watch, and AirPods (maybe still more popular than Apple TV). Seems like it's not made for anyone in particular.

Need a powerful device to take with you everywhere, mainly used for communication and consuming media, buy an iPhone. Want a device for doing actual work, buy a Mac. iPad Pro now has Apple's most powerful processor, but nowhere close to being able to do the job of a less powerful Mac due to software limitations.
'Shake' Design Documents
the issue is as soon as you enable the power for some to set incentives and rules to see certain outcomes, it gets taken over by the rich entrenched status quo that is easily able to use the tools of modern propaganda to drown out any true grassroots opinion, and see to it that their horse is the one to win the race. It almost takes a total reset event like a gigantic war to shake up the economic status quo but even then, what forms in the dust is almost naturally these oligarchs like stardust accumulating into black holes after the big bang.
It's confirmed that, if you're executed by the state for treason there, you become an organ donor as part of that deal. Waste not and all that.

No, "great question!" No endless explanation of what Schrodinger's cat means, just a quick and concise answer. For systems we intend to use as assistants and not conversation partners, I think this is close to the ideal response length.
Presumably this is DeepMind vs Labs fighting over the same project. A consequence of guaranteeing Demis some level of independence when DeepMind was bought, which still shows through in the fact that the DeepMind brand(s) survive.

m.2 is a form factor, not a speed. It could have been the SATA type m.2 instead of the NVMe type m.2 but then it would have needed a SATA controller on the PCIe bus for no benefit. The cost/GB of cheap (SATA or NVMe) drives is about the same regardless if peak read is 500 MB/s or 1500 MB/s anyways.
I wonder if you could track provenance by operating at the highest layer of the dispatcher and capture any calls to GPU operations (ala Cuda Graph)?

It also needs to separate animation steps for different objects so that objects can keep different speeds. It isn't trivial at all to go from having a keyframe for the whole picture to having separate for separate parts, you need to retrain the whole thing from the ground up and the results will be way worse until you figure out a way to train that.
