Like it or not the absence of PUBLIC research, of OPEN standard, impede an economy of scale that China have. Simply.

Like software must be FLOSS to keep evolving, cars must be built on common components with open standards where the design, software and hw are OPEN and mostly came out of public research. This allow for a reasonable progress and so to achieve an economy of scale.

Beside that: the Green New Deal can happen ONLY outside dense cities, again like it or not we can build single-family homes, sheds, small isolated buildings able to evolve, with enough space to evolve, able to be all-electric at consumption level compatible with our generation capacity, not towers, mid/high rise buildings in dense cities. Again this is a mega-plan that could be done in terms of raw materials thanks to remote work that allow enough people to leave the city to create enough mass outside to attract other non-remote workers, NOT the USA suburb style but the EU low density area style where people live and work intermixed without the need to make large trips for anything. Cities CAN'T evolve: a small example, most buildings have mailboxes typically all layered in a wall, very effective to get paper mails. Absolutely not effective for parcels. Well, back than parcels was rare and paper mail a common things with few per days for many families. Adapting to the online retail in dense cities is a nightmare, there is no room to leave parcels in condos. Such a simple change, such a problem. This is the city, efficient for the state of thing it's designed, able to change a little bit, but for more we need to rebuilt from scratch and costs are FAR HIGHER than being spread. The new "right density" for the economy of scale is living spread. The sole way to achieve this is a public plan. Otherwise after two "western civil wars" (world wars) on the verge of a third one we have committed suicide enough to being finally dead. Oh, yes, China have a devastating demographic problem, so it can't win in the long term but that's does not change our foreseeable future.
Google search has been absolutely ruined in terms of quality. You're right, they've built the base in terms of R&D for many of the AI breakthroughs thats powering competing alternative products.... that happen to be better than Google's own products. Google went from "Don't be evil" to just another big corporate tech company. They have so much potential. Regrettable.
Not linking it to public FB was a decision because most people don't want their work and personal lives mixed.
The web was not competing with literally hundreds of other services with tighter branding and the weight of multi-billion dollar megacorporations pushing for their success. They have far more resources available to push their own services and have absolutely no incentive to integrate with any other service or protocol.

I wish you luck, but optimism and blind faith isn’t going to magically make WhatsApp et al go away.

I wish it were AI Donald Glover talking and the "Apple twist" at the end was that the entire 3 minute segment was a prompt for "Donald Glover talking about how Awesome Gemini Models are in a California vineyard"
NASA Simulation's Plunge into a Black Hole [video]
This repo has a nice pub/sub implementation based on capnp: https://github.com/commaai/cereal/blob/master/log.capnp
Not nearly as impressive as Sora. Sora was impressive because the clips were long and had lots of rapid movement since video models tend to fall apart when the movement isn't easy to predict.

By comparison, the shots here are only a few seconds long and almost all look like slow motion or slow panning shots cherrypicked because they don't have that much movement. Compare that to Sora's videos of people walking in real speed.

The only shot they had that can compare was the cyberpunk video they linked to, and it looks crazy inconsistent. Real shame.
The OSnews article is right - those towers look super cool. Also it seems weird that the one-core model will only run IBM i.
I think you just introduced subjectivity to the conversation
Except that VMWare is owned by Broadcom, which is known for only being interested in Fortune 500. That doesn't at all apply to Microsoft. No sane people will buy into VMWare anymore if 500k in cash is not a rounding error of your budget.
External customers require extra sales, support, ops, eng building specific features, etc

Internal support can be much more limited and targeted.

Consider cooking your family dinner vs running a restaurant.

I believe NASA has actually used "lithobraking" in an official capacity at some point.
This.

And evenmore, the lesser versions were free for everyone to use.

But now, if you are a business you don't have any free offering anymore.

I guess it makes a lot of sense, to go only after the ones that can pay, the rest would have "other" ways to run it anyway.,,
If you switch careers, of course you're going to take a pay cut. Why would I expect to be making as much money as an apprentice plumber as I am as a software developer with years of experience?

There are plenty of jobs that are important to certain career paths but come with a pay cut. For software developers, it might be starting a business. Would you expect a politician to turn down a position as Secretary of [State, Treasury, etc.] because it's a pay cut?

There's more to life than money and if I have to spend the rest of my life working at a desk, that isn't a life at all.
But if we updated our standards such that we no longer accept those things, they would no longer be passable, and something else would be "just barely passable".

My point - inasmuch as there was a serious one - wasn't that we shouldn't raise our standards but that the framing isn't particularly helpful in determining whether we should (while rhetorically sounding like it is).
> to a platform that a lot of people had written off as dead, irrelevant, gray corporate software.

I don't think many people had written Visual Studio off like that in 2014. Maybe now, given VSCode. But that didn't exist in 2014.
Linux has always been a bit of an easier deal because you can (often, not always) just get a version for ARM that is "close enough".
Personally I would say just allow osx to be installed. They already have dual boot capabilities anyway.
Except gpt-4o with audio and video inputs isn’t actually out
i fully agree with you here. that's what i intended to address in the last paragraph. if this isn't done right then it will not have the desired effect.

i am not even trying to begin speculating how to achieve the desired effects.
i don't understand near enough about economy to have any idea how to actually do this. all i am talking about is that whenever there is a significant surplus of money, then it is not private individuals who should be in the position to decide how to spend that money.

the latter is the situation we have now. there are individuals and companies that have acquired an enormous surplus of money, and they get to decide how to spend it. that needs to change, one way or another.

there is also another dimension i'd like to add: this needs to happen globally. the idea that someone moves their wealth from one country to another needs to disappear because the laws about this should be the same everywhere. as long as there are countries where unlimited accumulation of money is still possible, then limiting extreme wealth anywhere else is not really going to be successful either.

in other words we are not going to be able to really address this problem until we have a global agreement that this is a goal we want to achieve.
In a lazy language, you have a significant difficulty in ensuring

the order of operations, specifically printing a prompt and reading the answer. Before someone (Mogi?) realized that a category theoretical monad with specific rules made IO sequencing trivial, the state of the art (IIRC) was world-passing. (With world-passing, you have a value that represents the state of everything outside the program; any IO operation absorbs the current world value and returns a new one. Only the most current value actually works.)

I don't know if it is still the case, but the last time I poked around, in GHC the IO monad was implemented using the older world-passing code.
I hate to be so cynical, but I'm dreading the inevitable flood of AI generated video spam.

We really are about this close to infinite jest. Imagine TikTok's algorithm with on demand video generation to suit your exact tastes. It may erase the social aspect, but for many users I doubt that would matter too much. "Lurking" into oblivion.
Uhm it has on my account. I had an extended conversation about type design in language
Improper amortization of R&D expenses? In most locales, including (from what I can gather) the US, there are (generous) initial tax subsidies, followed by a 5-to-15-years earn-back period.

Simply including R&D costs, imagined or otherwise, in COGS seems... fraudulent?
Have you seen the MacPad by Federico Viticci of MacStories.net? He achieves it with zero actual hacks, and only 1 custom Shortcut. It lets the iPad be an iPad by default, but also act as a Mac display at the press of a shortcut. As long as your files are in iCloud, it appears to furnishes forth a seamless experience. https://www.macstories.net/stories/macpad-how-i-created-the-...
I know people use it because Apple Mail generates out-of-office responses to mailing list mail (with List-Id: headers and other indicators).
Wrong question. Of course they censor content. I did not say they don’t do it, I only pointed out that comparison to USSR is quite an exaggeration.
>Windows and Mac pretty much the only mainstream alternative

That's not the world we live in today?
No, this is just Microsoft dealing with the way they do web-based backwards compatibility and routing old as shit links to their modern infra, which usually involves six redirects
First, my only guess is that everyone's guesses are going to be wildly wrong. People who work in such spaces will greatly overestimate. People who don't will greatly underestimate. (This is mostly due to how many comments I've read on HN that implicitly assume that most people's problems and perspectives are the same as the commenter's.)

Second, linked lists are useful in a lot more places than that. Probably a better proxy would be low-level coders. You almost always want a linked list somewhere when you're dealing with memory addresses and pointers. Maybe not for the primary collections, but there are always secondary ones that need to maintain a collection with a different membership or ordering, and vectors of pointers don't have many clear advantages over intrusive linked lists for those secondary collections.
I'd love to take one of these when I'm going home. There's no use to keep absorving alcohol when I want to go to sleep.
I was using it yesterday in the mobile app. Unless they just slapped the new UI on an older model.
The guy claims the regulatory label tells you not to use it closer than 5mm from your body. Reading the "Radio frequency exposure" notice on my phone, it says

> In the countries where the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) limit is 1.6 W/kg averaged over one gram of tissue, the highest SAR values for this device type are 1.19 W/kg for Pixel 6a (GB62Z) or 1.18 W/kg for Pixel 6a (GX7AS) W/kg when used against head with no separation and 1.19 W/kg for Pixel 6a (GB62Z) or 1.19 W/kg for Pixel 6a (GX7AS) W/kg against body with 1.0 cm (0.4 in) separation. In the countries where the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) limit is 2.0 W/kg averaged over ten grams of tissue, the highest SAR values for this device type are 0.99 W/kg when used against head with no separation and 1.31 W/kg against body with 5 mm (0.2 in) separation.

https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/11542583?hl=en

For an iPhone, it has this:

> During testing, iPhone radios are set to their highest transmission levels and SAR is evaluated in real time, over time intervals as specified by applicable regulations. iPhone is evaluated in positions that simulate uses against the head, with no separation, and when worn or carried against the torso of the body, with 5mm separation.

https://regulatoryinfo.apple.com/rfexposure/iPhone15,4/en

So no, it doesn't say you're supposed to use it at least 5mm away from your body. It says its designed to meet SAR exposure values with no separation.

But hey I wouldn't expect a person like this to actually be honest.
You have to go over to Broadcom website. The VMware store is still down.
You're wondering how people that get free review units prior to the general release are recommending that you buy it? Really?

The iPad Pro is exactly the device that Apple wants it to be. It's not for you. Don't buy it. If you need an iPad, get the iPad 10 for $300 and then guiltlessly buy avocado toast every weekend for the rest of the year. You'll be a lot happier.

So will touching a lightbulb, but we have those in abundance in the same application. I don't think that adequately answers the question.

My mother has a 9 year old iPhone. All the apps she use still work on it. And it's still getting security patches!
I don't think DFTs will get better anytime soon. But here's something wild: Maybe it doesn't matter.

Run a DFT simulation of a protein with known structure melting. Time-reverse it. Train some sort of 3d convnet on the deltas at every point in the (wrong) melting curve.

Who cares if the DFT is wrong! The ml model will learn the rules of this fictional universe that uses the wrong rules to get the right thing.
Another great benefit of it indeed
Not sure I follow

Pico is a reverse proxy, so the upstream services open outbound-only connections to Pico, then proxy clients send HTTP requests to Pico which are then routed to the upstream services

So as long as your browser can access Pico it should work like any other proxy

(Theres a getting started guide if that helps: https://github.com/andydunstall/pico/blob/main/docs/getting-...)
They don’t support switching auth either. Prob just not on their list of priorities
Actual human vision works a lot more like the AI stuff then you think. Human vision is famous for filling in details that aren't there based on what you expect to see.
Yes, when it was Sun VirtualBox I remember it was a favorite for testing out other operating systems for free with a simple UI. It wasn't the most powerful or flexible, but it's what was recommended if you wanted to (for example) try Ubuntu on your Windows host without dual boot or using another disk, etc.
Personally I have always felt that AWS has too much of "manager culture" or something. But them missing AI train was crazy though.

I am personally more surprised that Microsoft did not miss that train with AI and now are pretty aggressive with integration of AI everywhere. Though I wonder if Microsoft would not have missed mobile and search if Nadella was CEO after Gates. Satya is ruthless. Even despite not being first in cloud, they still are able to compete with AWS.

As long as you remember to turn it off after you're finished refactoring. :-)

(Yeah, I'm the guy with the co-worker who kept turning off -Wall in C++ because "nobody has time for that".)
"Engage" to order some travel solution?
It’s no longer there, I think?
Sora is also movement limited to a certain range if you look at the clips closely. Probably something like filtering by some function of optical flow in both cases.
When AI gets to the point it can respond to AI, you do understand where you come in, don't you?
Is plastic pollution the only factor that matters in being environmentally friendly, to the point where you can dismiss all others out of hand?
Never mind no benchmarks, half of these announcements in the past were straight made up, "offline enhanced" cherry picked "examples", CGI fantasies.

Not to mention the whole AGI topic is forever doomed from SciFi fans, just remember what happened with that room-temperature superconductivity.
I used to be a hotel manager. Now I work in almost direct competition to booking. Booking is not a racket, you are free to not use them if you don't like them and you are free to take rooms away from booking if you want to limit how much they can sell. The hotel has compete control of how they use booking.

Your job as a hotel manager is to do what you can to increase direct reservations and reduce booking.com's share of your total reservations. But the reality is that most are too lazy or incompetent to make guests comfortable to book directly instead of through booking. Some hotels are even so donkey brained that they offer better rates on booking than on their own website. Then cry to regulators?
Would Paleoalgorithmics not just be the exploration of ancient algorithms?

Here we are taking modern code and teleporting it back in time. Or perhaps rather taking hardware back to the future. Clearly it should be called DeLoreanithmics.
> Only around 2 thousand students were arrested for the Vietnam protests in 1970

12,000 were arrested over a matter of days in 1971 [1].

Again, these protests don't need to be comparable in size to Vietnam's to be legitimate. Focussing on that narrative is a dead end. When it comes to Sweetgreen's business, I've gone from thinking the CEO should stay out of politics to suspecting he may be resonating better with Sweetgreen's actual customers than I initially gave him credit for.

More like imagine if my personal domain name blocked your personal domain name because you keep sending me unwanted email, maybe.

It's a mistake to have huge silo servers in the first place.
It depends. If you're happy with Databricks, etc. you might be good. But we've seen many users want the simplicity of querying data from Postgres for analytics, especially in case of JOINing both analytics and transactional data
Wouldn't it just be the inverse of the Schwarzschild radius? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwarzschild_radius
True, that's very interesting and should try out. Although at certain point it did draw it out using tokens, but it also maybe that then it's different compared to say an image. Because it generally isn't very good with ascii art or similar.

Edit:

Just tried and it didn't seem to follow the image state at all.
What seems worse is the Google TextFX video with Lupe Fiasco? What the heck am I supposed to get out of watching boring monologues by a couple of people? They could have just as easily shown, with less camera work, Lupe Fiasco actually using the LLM model, but they didn't - or at least not enough to grab my attention in 2 minutes.

Personally, I liked the above link, even as a Google skeptic, but the videos aren't helping their case.
Looks like GPT 4o was released just to try and beat them to the punch here. OpenAI must have known about this demo. Very space race.
I say nothing about how to get from where we are to where we should be, because there are many solutions. Each flavor of political system claims to have one.

For a list:

* Shift some of the tax burden to profits and rent-seeking, and away from income.

* Front-load elder care costs by setting aside a bigger share of productive work done today for pensions.

* Aggressively reduce costs and waste across the economy. Cap student loan amounts. Mandate what % of tuition has to go towards instruction. Make medical school free, make doctors pay it off through X,000 hours of service.

* Deal with supply shortages for inelastic goods. Housing is a major one. Tax-advantage denser developments. Or turn cities/states/provinces into developers themselves.

* Fix low-hanging fruit in public health. Make vaccination free. We lose more economic output in sick days than we do from people not getting a flu jab.

* Fix waste in medical-adjacent spaces. Mandate that eye exams provide a pupil distance measurement. There should be no reason for why I can't get an eye exam, and then directly plug those numbers into an online glasses retailer, that will ship me a pair for $30.

* Wild-ass stretch goal: Make public transit/biking/walking/scooting preferable to car ownership wherever feasible. The societal cost of universal car ownership is huge, even if we only measure in dollars, and disregard all the other negative externalities.

* Reduce spend on zero-sum and negative-sum industries: Ban gambling, tobacco, alcohol advertising.

Or, you know, if you don't like any of these active-involvement ideas, another alternative is to shrug your shoulders and pray that the free market will sort things out before you get bread riots and a revolution.

Or, shrug your shoulders and just import more young immigrants. Preferably with skills that we need, other countries can spend their resources on training their youth, and we'd poach them once they are in their prime productive years.

All of the active-involvement ideas come down to 'There's a pit somewhere in our economy that we shovel endless amounts of money into, that is not efficient at producing material goods that people need to live. What can we do to reduce the fraction of the economy that is wasted in them?'
The iPad is a "pro machine" or a "personal computer" when 17Lands[1] is usable on the device. Having article after article try to pantomime the details of what Apple is missing here is futile. Not only is Apple not listening, even implementing 100% of your personal wishlist isn't enough.

[1]: https://www.17lands.com/ - 17Lands is a website that tracks win-loss (and other) data in MtG: Arena games by installing a small program that reads logs from the game itself. It's the perfect example of the iPad's failings: it's too esoteric for Apple to provide directly and covers the kind of program extensibility needed to make hardware pro-usable.
If I’m not mistaken didn’t Apple already let you run mobile apps on macOS?
Personally I'm more the floppy drive fan.

Do you have any references of papers/people working on this? I'm very interested in the possibilities that lie here, but have no idea where to start
I'll be impressed when it recommends you logout.
I thought I read they’ve deemed Sora too dangerous to release pre- election ? Or have reservations about it ? I might be wrong…
Wow, now that you pointed it out, I just saw the "un" part of that. Until now, I just thought it was four 'S's.
Would love to hear from radio engineer type people on HN, I was under the impression that exposure to non-ionizing radiation is fine.

Are there any real negative effects of large exposure to non-ionizing radiation?
Very exciting. We use GCS but we don't have a data lake yet. If you were to "sell" the concept of a data lake, what would you refer to as great example usecase?
I think they (partially?) rolled it back. I tried out the voice input yesterday, but it’s missing from the app today.
Reminds me of "square Kufic" and this book https://jeffe.cs.illinois.edu/teaching/algorithms/
I think the advantage for them is having a guarantee. If it's Gopher, then it works. No trial and error needed.
It feels a bit like this tech event I've always been looking forward to died to be honest. IO was always cool, you could always see general product updates, but this year seems to be AI only. Half of the talks/videos will also be AI focussed, it's a bummer because it's always a source to learn new SDKs or design ideas through them.
