Interesting read. Does not seem to be working with the same set of facts as the ACX post[1], especially around FDA approval.

First thing I notice is that Finnish is part of a completely different language family from the other Nordic languages and English (Uralic vs. Indo-European). I wonder to what extent this affects the effectiveness of their low-resource training. Finnish is highly agglutinative, adding prefixes and suffixes to modify a root. My (amateur) take is that the tokenization and attention patterns may differ a lot? Would love to see more educated people than I discuss this.

This is pretty neat; can someone tell me if this could lead to a proper working version of Conker on the MiSTer? E.g. could this be used to assist in a decompilation and then someone could make a fix?
If this is at all like the eye tracking in Vision Pro, it is only available to the OS and apps are not given access to the data.
You can get these sorts of tests already. Last year I used this company's product and it was a smooth experience:

In common practice, people use 'overdose' to mean life-threatening overdose.
They've never been, at least since we stopped hunting mammoths.

Sure, temperature (and even more so severity of storms) have increased in the last decades, but not quite that much.
Unfortunately, I'm too analytical to just believe that without some evidence.

Not that much more than NYC or SF to be honest, I've traveled to all three in the past year and spent more money in NYC than I did in Geneva for the same amount of time (around 4 days in each).
Аre you saying this about OS which shows ads in Start menu?
Is HomeKit the Apple version? I feel like they're much better about their integrations than Google's PC-like OEM strategy.
Or it would lower costs because saving gas saves money.
By uninhabitable I mean it would make no economic sense for people to live there.
As the maintainer he gets to call the shots, so this response is perfectly fair. It's easy for me to say "I wouldn't have reacted like this", especially since I'm kind of numb to this type of shit-slinging,
but I haven't had such visceral anger directed towards my hard work, so I really don't know.
There are a lot of suggestions here for things that can be done on any PC rather than a particular piece of hardware (DNS server, VM host, email server) so to throw out the one genuine "something the Raspberry Pi is compelling for, not just able to do too":

IP KVM as with the Pi KVM.

It utilizes the CSI interface for the capture without needing to do it through USB or expensive PCIe addon cards like a normal PC, the USB OTG is used to act as keyboard/mouse/disc drive/usb ethernet, the GPIO is used to control the motherboard power/reset pins, the serial pins are used to provide a console interface in case you need to reconfigure the static IP, some other pins are used to drive a small LCD display telling you the IP and status of the device, the Ethernet and Wi-Fi give connectivity options to access the local webpage where the hardware accelerated encode helps stream the data to you. The local uSD storage is plenty for storing the local ISO images and it's a full Arch Linux system in case you ever need to do anything else (like wget an image directly to the device remotely).

Not only is the hardware extremely well suited (capture, the IO pins, the decoder, the network interfaces, the minimal storage) to the exact use case but it's used in a way that doesn't really make sense to use an Arduino and would cost a lot more (in dollars, power, and space) to get a standard mini PC to do these things.

Of course I've owned 6 Raspberry Pi boards over the last 12 years and this is the only one I ever found to be worthwhile. The others were just for the novelty.
You bring in testers and UI experts, and you have the experts watch the testers.

Shipping to mass market is a bad way to get feedback.
It seems more plausible (to me) that this is the result of the cultural 'quarantine' of smoking and not the efficacy of the "don't smoke" programs in schools per se. The entertainment industry in the US aggressively committed to not showing cigarettes in a cool or positive light, and to me this seems way more likely to have driven these reductions in youth smoking. In the 80s pretty much any person a 13 year old would call 'cool' could be seen smoking somewhere. Now media uses cigarettes to either indicate that a movie is happening in the past or that a character is self-destructive. With the cultural cachet gone, or greatly reduced, I think what you're seeing is mostly 'background' smoking rates: kids smoking specifically for the effects of nicotine, or because it's a taboo-breaking behavior. Not because their parents and every celebrity smoke. This dynamic also explains the rise of e-cigs, IMO. Kids love streamers and influencers, and streamers and influencers vape nic. Now kids vape nic.
I get the sentiment, but I really hate to see pushback against something like e-Bikes. If anything, we need more light transportation like e-bikes and cargo bikes and electric scooters. If these things are causing problems for pedestrians and non-electric cyclists, the problem isn't with their adoption but with the lack of good infrastructure to support all of these. In places like the Netherlands these things coexist without any problems and it's way better for everybody.
When someone says "20 years of doom predictions haven't come true", I charitably assumed that claim was about scientific consensus predictions, but perhaps I can't assume that everyone shares knowledge of what that is.

So far, all data says that the climate scientists are dead on and have been very accurate: https://eps.harvard.edu/files/eps/files/hausfather_2020_eval...

What doom predictions from the last 20 years haven't come true? If someone says that doom hasn't happened yet, I guess what I want to say is that they haven't waited long enough.

I think the climate scientists are frustrated and giving up. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/01/climate/ipcc-climate-scie.... My initial link was an attempt to show where the Overton window is regarding the experts in this field, more than anything else. This comment is probably not the right place to bring someone up to speed with the climate science field when they can Google it themselves.
You don't even need to do state mv anymore. They added the `moved` block a while ago. You can then delete it from the source after your apply at your leisure.

So there isn’t much more to it than getting a good resolution image of the eye from any distance, every millisecond.

Precision is the issue because we are mostly moving our eyes in about 8 directions, there’s no precision because we don’t know how to measure focusing of our eye lens with a camera yet (unless that too is just a matter of getting a picture).

Squinting would be the closest thing to physically expressing focusing. So the camera needs to know I’m looking left with my eye, followed by a squint to achieve precision. Seems stressful though.

Gonna need AI just to do noise cancelling of involuntary things your eyes do like pupil dilation, blinking.
An non-conspiracy would be that iOS confused deleted data as corrupted data and recovered it, although that's quite a bad bug, although maybe it just happened during a deployment script I guess?

Remember: deleting data only removed inodes, not raw data: the raw data get overwritten with time. The more full you storage is, the faster that data gets overwritten.

iPhone have a lot of storage, so yeah, most likely a bad deployment script. Still not good for such a company.

A conspiracy would be a worker tasked by NSA to introduce such a bug to keep deleted files as long as possible, "just in case", for spying matters.
Running hyprland as a systemd unit is very painful to set up and prone to crashes that upstream doesn't accept. If it's just about the logs, there's systemd-cat that can pipes stdout/err into the journal.

I'm glad we're finally getting away from the 00's shaky cam era.
Google Search is about to fundamentally change—for better or worse. To align with Alphabet-owned Google’s grand vision of artificial intelligence, and prompted by competition from AI upstarts like ChatGPT, the company’s core product is getting reorganized, more personalized, and much more summarized by AI.8

Better or worse? I think it's reasonable to assume it will be the later. The has been the trend for the past decade or longer.
I think your experience is far outside the norm for age 6 or younger (Kindergarten age). I don't know about specifics in Germany, but in the Netherlands, the fraction of children going to school unaccompanied between age 4-12 was as follows: 4(2%), 5(3%), 6(8%), 7(25%), 8(36%), 9(59%), 10(73%), 11(85%), 12(91%), according to research from 20 years ago. Anecdotally that age have been creeping upwards in recent decades.
Really? I'm surprised you mention memory is even a consideration, never even heard it raised as far as typing choices are concerned.
It is really weird. I have had dozens of hateful messages or emails in the decades of online communication, but in terms of death threat both was somehow related to Intel.

First one was in 2013/2014 when I said by the current trajectory TSMC is going to overtake Intel by 2020. Second was Intel losing the Smartphone Modem and Foundry battle about a year later, due to failure to forecast capacity.

For a lot of these reasons I simply left most of the online hardware communities and forum.

It is strange a lot of people think of brands in Tech as if they are religion. And internet in the 10s is really different to the 00s.
At the moment the extension's side bar shows mail count per sender, not domain. You can also order from highest to lowest. Does that suffice for you?

You're right Gmail does not show the datasize clearly, but to get emails with large attachments, you can use search filters like: "larger:15M", where 15M is 15 megabytes. It's not exactly what you want but might help
incarceration rate should probably be 2 - 3x more.
Arrested 2x for an unprovoked assault of someone on the street or the knock out game, 20 years. Do it again, life.
Push someone on the train tracks, life.
Drive by even though no one was killed, life.
Robbery, car jacking, etc with a weapon, life.

All of these life sentences should consist of hard but humane labor. Short on workers to pick strawberries? Hire from the prison. The money should go towards ensuring humane conditions in the prison, no more giving the contract to the lowest bidder. Government run prisons, the idea of paying a private company to run a prison is insane.

I'm fine with some lee way with property crimes, drugs, anything in that crime level but we really should not have to deal with violent criminals in society released to hurt people again and again.
As Terramex pointed out this is tied to a particular, relevant event.

It’s also pretty common for Apple to preannounce some smaller features that are too specialized to be featured in the WWDC announcements. This gives them some attention when they would be lost and buried in WWDC footnotes.

It is also probably an indication that WWDC will be full of new features and only the most impactful will be part of the keynote.

"Just get over it", "need thicker skin", "the cost of doing business in open source", etc.

You did it in your own comment even. Making excuses for shitty behavior, as if it's some natural law like gravity.

What do those sentences mean, if not suggesting that the maintainer is the one who made the wrong decision (by taking offense to the email)?
There used to be cafeteria restaurants beyond IKEA and corporate campuses though. In Seattle we had Bakeman's, where you could get a freshly made sandwich, soup, and slice of pie for like $11 (yes it'd be higher today with inflation, but even in 2016 it was still very cheap for a fresh meal in central Seattle). In Russia they still have stolovaya, very much like the IKEA cafeteria: https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g298484-d3201436.... I ate at them in 2009 and loved them.

I really wonder if something like a food truck serving rice & lentils with a side of yogurt for $5 a plate would be economically viable in any US city. Some people just want food that tastes OK, is fairly healthy, and frees them from doing dishes that night.
The design problems go beyond just choices that advantage cars at the expense of pedestrians. It would not disadvantage cars at all to allow pedestrians to cut across from one parking lot to another, yet often there are fences or dense hedges placed to prevent exactly that.
It makes sense. Sometimes I'm looking for a site, other times I'm looking for answers, or the next best action. The search engines have been headed this way for some time, so I see this as more evolutionary than revolutionary.

Yes, this is a real problem. But the text of the email makes it seem the author was a target of some troll attack. The names do not look real on gmail (Diego jewstein ???) and the text is very llm’ish.

I’m surprised gmail spam filters didn’t catch this.

I worry that someone may be trying to incorporate a sophisticated supply chain attack. Step 1. Troll maintainers, Step 2. Find someone to maintain who can accept malicious code. Step 3. Track where this goes
Feels hacky as hell, with the string literal in there.
As a corollary to 2), a reduction in inflation does not return prices back to previous levels. That's a misconception I see all the time. Negative inflation, or deflation, can reduce prices of course, but you really, really don't want deflation.
I wouldn't be so sure about that. If you had said this before my most recent hire I would have agreed - but my junior writes stuff that looks like this or worse. I'm always reviewing stuff with weird capitalization, punctuation, spelling, grammar, etc. that makes me raise an eyebrow on a regular basis. Their code looks just as weird despite having the help of a heavy-weight IDE in their corner. We're constantly cleaning up hanging indents, unnecessary newlines, mismatched indents, commented out code, etc. (That's with a college education, a Grammarly license, and no small amount of coaching on my part!)

I have a sample size of 1, so I can't ascribe too much to "these damn kids," but it seriously strikes me as having learned written language primarily from texting & instant messaging. Whereas I grew up roughly by transitioning from: reading books -> writing mails to pen pals-> writing e-mails -> web chats -> T9 texting -> modern IMEs. In other words I initially learned to write with long-form content and learned to condense it down later. These days I think people are just learning straight from the condensed version.

The other reason I don't think it's an LLM is simpler: most commercial LLMs wouldn't be "aligned" to be that rude, and the smaller LLMs I've seen wouldn't be able to inject relevant code snippets from a relatively unpopular library into the output.

I would not be surprised if this person misused the library, got called out for it in code-review (calling the iterator multiple times is a huge code-smell), and now they are soothing their ego by shifting blame onto the library author for making "such a bad API."

Geohot (https://geohot.github.io/blog/) estimates that a human brain equivalent requires 20 PFLOPS. Current top-of-the-line GPUs are around 2 PFLOPS and consume up to 500W. Scaling that linearly results in 5kW, which translates to approximately 3 EUR per hour if I calculate correctly.

(write-string "hello world") has linked list semantics, the fact that compilers can be smart enough to ignore this is not the point I'm making.

(write-string (cdr '(write-string "hello-world"))) also has to work, so it's pretty easy to materialize that semantics at any point.

Kind of cool thinking of Android as a simultaneous multi-user system. Private Spaces is a neat idea:

> Private space allows users to create a separate space on their device where they can keep sensitive apps away from prying eyes, under an additional layer of authentication. Private space uses a separate user profile. When private space is locked by the user, the profile is paused, i.e. the apps are no longer active.

So a vaguely related question for an astronomy thread about our galaxy since smart people lurk here:

If the center of most galaxies is a super-massive black hole, including the Milky Way, and most of those SMBH have relativistic jets with lobes throwing out particles near light speed

1. Have we detected such lobes in the milky way? why not?

2. If those particles are going near the speed of light yet have no reason to slow down unless captured, unlikely outside of their original galaxy, they are still going for billions of years? (wow if so!)

3. If some of those jets from other galaxies are pointed at earth and contain physical particles with mass near the speed of light, why don't they do measurable damage?

That's an interesting problem—Tarsier probably isn't the best solution here since it's focused on webpage perception rather than any kind of OCR. But one could try adapting the `format_text` function in tarsier/text_format.py to convert any set of OCR annotations to a whitespace-structured string. Curious to see if that works.
CarPlay devices (car components) are essentially playing a streaming video of a hidden display generated by the phone. CarPlay also lets those devices send back touch events to trigger buttons and other interactions. Very little process is done on the vehicle.

BTW if you are plugged in to CarPlay and take a screen shot, it will include the hidden CarPlay screen.

Grail's test is a cfDNA test. It detects DNA fragments in blood that are indicative of specific methylation patterns that are in turn indicative of possible cancerous growth. While a good approach, there are continued sensitivity challenges with cfDNA tests.

This research is a high quality longitudinal retrospective study of protein cancer biomarkers, not cfDNA. Protein biomarkers are a complementary signal that has the potential to boost the sensitivity and precision of these tests, especially when the signals are combined together.
