"im-also-a-good-gpt-2" signaling that agi is just an optimization problem.
This is probably the first step to shutting down development of these products.

First of all every desktop now has its own mature virtualization.

And secondly, Broadcom has no interest in this market.
I believe you and that's why I asked. I also think it's unfair how common ghosting is when it cost so little to reply.

> Dev rels have done driven bans and caused monetary losses before.

Do you have any specific examples?
So you say having a decoupled arrangement in software (which happens to be a de facto open standard) is a "terrible awful idea" and that instead you should just rely on whatever your proprietary hardware graphics vendor proposes to you? Why?

And that's assuming they propose anything at all.

Even GVT-g breaks every other Linux release, is at risk of being abandoned by Intel (e.g. how they already abandoned the Xen version) or limited to specific CPU market segments, and already has ridiculous limitations such as a limit on the number of concurrent framebuffers AND framebuffer sizes (why? VMware Workstation offers you an infinitely resizable window, does it with 3D acceleration just fine, and I have never been able to tell if they have a limit on the number of simultaneous VMs... ).

In the meanwhile "software-based GPU virtualization" allows me to share GPUs in the host that will never have hardware-based partitioning support (e.g. ANY consumer AMD card), and allows guests to have working 3D by implementing only one interface (e.g. https://github.com/JHRobotics/softgpu for retro Windows) instead of having to implement drivers for every GPU in existence.
If anyone from Google is reading, the link on the word Gemini Advanced on "Today we’re bringing Gemini 1.5 Pro, our cutting-edge model, to Gemini Advanced." leads to 404
> When reviewers look for these logic issues, they often run through the code line-by-line using different inputs and see if any lines cause the code to produce the wrong output.

I don't know of anyone that regularly does this during code reviews.

In my experience, automated tests help to catch regressions, i.e., they help catch error cases that people have already anticipated. If the system fails in some brand new unexpected way, you won't have tests for it by definition.

Similarly, static analysis can help catch certain classes of bugs, but there's plenty of things they won't be able to spot.

Yes, they're both useful, but neither of these is a replacement for code review. They're all complementary.
I just did a code review today where I didn’t find any bug but I forced the “developer” to rewrite the whole thing. He didn’t write a single line of code with a minimum of maintainability in mind…

Tests find bugs, code reviews look for quality. Sometimes I can spot a bug but it’s not my primary goal.
>Are there any real negative effects of large exposure to non-ionizing radiation?

Yes, at the point of kilowatts you start to just straight up cook.

Ionizing radiation is dangerous because each individual "quanta/packet" of energy, ie photon, contains enough energy to knock electrons off of individual atoms. It fills your body with "free radicals" and chemically active molecules that start ripping apart other molecules in your body to get their preferred electron state back. Sometimes this destruction involves molecules of DNA, and sometimes sometimes that DNA is affected in a way that gets past the normal correction mechanisms in our cell, and sometimes sometimes sometimes, the stars align, and that cell does a cancer. People get afraid of the cancer because they don't really understand how electromagnetic radiation works and they have very little experience with ionizing radiation.

Except that's a lie, every human around has extensive experience with a significant source of Ionizing radiation that they deal with literally every day; The Sun puts out something like 50ish watts per square meter of UV radiation. Every sun burn is a radiation burn, caused by UV photons ionizing the molecules in your body. The purpose of melanin in your body is to safely absorb as much of that UV radiation as possible.

The photons released by a cell phone cannot do that. They physically cannot knock electrons off of atoms to create ions. This is called the photoelectric effect and was one of the key findings to kick off the entire field of quantum physics. No matter how many low frequency photons you shoot at an atom, no longer how long, you will not ionize that atom.

These low energy/frequency photons will still cause radiative heating, which is the way your microwave cooks food. Notably, consumer microwaves put out a Kilowatt of radio frequency energy. Your cell phone puts out less than 3 watts of "effective" radio frequency energy, so less if it has a better/smarter antenna setup. That is the maximum, averaged output for FCC certification in the US.
My (paid) app has it but no voice chat yet
I found plenty of bugs by just reading code...

And yes i foster code review in my team and yes its a skill people need to learn.
If we're going to follow that reductio ad absurdum, I live in a city why not just take the bus? But walking is only a few miles, why not just walk? Don't buy a house because it's an inefficient waste of space, resources, and energy. Live in a studio apartment under 300sq ft, enough for a bed and a desk. Buying food seems unnecessary when I can have planters and some chickens out back.

I like the Mustang, electricity where I live is already generated above 90% by renewables, despite transit my quality of life is improved with a vehicle. The environment is a nice side effect.
You think it's valuable to call people ignorant and to compare negative bias against PE funds (of all things!) to racism? I think the comments section would be better without that. Maybe I should keep that to myself, I don't know. You can certainly keep spouting them off, but I'm going to point out how absurd those types of comments are.

> You’re using “they” to refer to thousands of people as if they’re a monolith.

This is the same thing the cops whine about. The PE industry has a ton of money - if 90% of them are good actors, they could easily organize and lobby for rules to stop the bad actors. That they don't tells me that the incumbents like the rules where they get to do whatever they want.

> I was pointing out that it’s because the people who think that way simply don’t understand finance

I think you are wrong. They understand the impacts that financiers have had on themselves, their families and their communities. There is a reason private equity (and its' older equivalents) have been loathed by common people for over a hundred years in this country :)
Nice! They should have titled this "Gemini 1.5 Pro now globally GA".
I often wonder the same about the technology used in a mysterious video that appeared on youtube about 15 years ago titled "Laser Induced Plasma Channel".

It appears to be an area denial weapon that uses femtosecond lasers to guide electric arcs across a hallway (think a metre-long ridiculously straight Taser discharge).

The video had no description and comments on it were never answered - it was recently removed by the uploader, but there seems to be a reupload on DailyMotion[1] from 9 years ago.

"The man whose invention was so important that a memorial was erected while he was still living is little noticed by passersby who do not look up from their cell phones."

Shame really, perhaps the trees should be thinned out around the area or the statue moved.

Trouble is, these days many of the younger generation of smartphone users don't even know what Morse Code is let alone recognize it.

It seems to me local engineers and engineering history people should get involved to make the statue more prominent. New sineage explaining its historical background would help.

It's not only Morse who's fallen by the historical wayside, there are many others in science and engineering that students of their discoveries and inventions know little about or that they have never heard of.

I blame both teachers and curricula for this oversight (I recall being taught stuff out of textbooks without any reference to its historical past only to learn the details decades later—often by accident or chance).
Aren’t we the evidence for aliens?
I don't see how we are anything more than just the particles that make up our selves, ie. the neurons in the brain. I can't seem to find a definition of free will that isn't self referential. What does it even mean that:

> Free will is the idea that there is a “you” and you are the author of your thoughts.

I am a "me", and I am the author of my thoughts, but that comes from the neurons in my brain firing and making decisions based on input. It still makes decisions, choices. I just maintain that those choices are not outside the universe. They are either:

1) Entirely causal based on all inputs and particles in the universe. Rewinding the universe and replaying will result in the exact same decisions.

or

2) The universe contains implicit randomness and this feeds into our neurons firing, meaning, rewinding the universe and replaying won't result in the same decisions.
> It was always about money, and it always will be about money.

There were people like that in the old days (TJ Rogers, Larry Ellison) but also a lot of hippie-influenced folks with an idealistic world view. People literally talked about making the world a better place without irony.

But when the .com boom appeared people flooded here for the money and, since it appeared "make the world better" was one of the things people said, it was cargo-culted widely ("we're making the world a better place by allowing advertisers to reach audiences they were previously excluded from").

Fortunately the density of idealists is higher in SV and density of narcissists higher in SF. But yes, the quality has gone down.
Are people really not seeing Apple's actual plan? They've been giving clues for their future products over a decade.

iPhone 5 introduced swipe-from-the-side gesture -> to make people accustomed to that gesture for future larger screen iPhones.

AR in iPhone -> allowed developers to get used to developing AR apps for Apple Vision Pro.

Apple's Catalyst and ARM chips being on both iPads and Macs - do you follow? We're going to see an iPad-thin computer that is both an iPad and a Mac that will seamlessly switch between these two modes, since the apps will be "adaptable/responsive". Without needing to reload a different OS for each. This is the kind of product that only Apple's vertical integration of hardware and software makes possible. Also, since they've *already* started this plan way long ago. In a way, it's already here, they just need to finish the puzzle.
Android should just add a ChomeOS-like give me a Linux dev environment feature that's officially supported. Sticking to old APIs like Termux is bound to run into problems down the road.
Saudi Arabia is trying to entrench itself in the American culture, not just in tech companies either. The PGA tour-LIV drama is a bit of a fun read if you can find a decent summary article. So much mental gymnastics going on with how that shook out for all parties.

Basically SA started a golf league (LIV) buy paying hundreds of millions of dollars a piece to established pro golfers who are probably on their way out of pro sports in terms of their career anyhow. Great deal for an aging player unlikely to win many times again, so many took the money. PGA tour responded by banning these players from competing in their tournaments. Fast forward a year, the PGA tour commissioner sets up a secret deal to integrate SA funding into the PGA tour and blindsides the people resenting the players as well as most anyone else. Doesn't respond to comments when it breaks of course. Mind you this is after that same commissioner was grandstanding for a year against the LIV league about Saudi ethics and bloodmoney. Turns out he was just negotiating a price.
I've always thought the purpose of code review was to determine if the implementation was consistent from an architectural perspective, bug finding seems like something that should be caught by unit tests and other tools (unless you happen to catch it by chance).
API yes, ChatGPT no (at least not for all users); I've got my own web interface for the API so I can play with the model (for all of $0.045 of API fees), but most people can't be bothered with that and will only get 4o when it rolls out as far as their specific ChatGPT account.
If you're going to read the whole Alexander corpus (which I did minus the two hardest-to-find volumes—the Linz Café and the one about carpets), be prepared for it to take on the order of years. While there is for sure a lot of repetition, the insights are frustratingly smeared across the entire thing.

Moreover, there is a clear arc to Alexander's career that goes a little like:

• Mathematical era (PhD/Notes on the Synthesis of Form, A City is not a Tree)

• Pattern era (Timeless Way, APL, and about four case studies)

• 15 properties era (Nature of Order)

As one might expect, a lot of the earlier work is recapitulated in the later work, but the fact that he explicitly deprecated patterns at his OOPSLA 1996 keynote (https://youtu.be/98LdFA-_zfA ) is important. People are aware of APL because of Gang of Four and Richard Gabriel etc but not so much that lecture.

As for the fifteen properties in Nature of Order, they mainly concern Euclidean geometry and the ordinary physics one would associate with constructing actual buildings. The evidence that they would need to be adapted to a more generic semiotic-topological domain such as software is the fact that Alexander himself saw fit to draw up (in Book 4) eleven analogous properties pertaining exclusively to colour (a 1:1 correspondence except for four which coalesce two of the geometric properties each). Concepts like "life", "wholeness", "center", "the fundamental differentiating process" etc. can be used unchanged.

Woudn't people just consume more alcohol to compensate the one destroyed by this invention? My guess is that some persons drink until they are drunk, not until they took N glasses of drinks.

Why do you think Firefox Suggest using browsing history, bookmarks, clipboard, open tabs, shortcuts, search engines, suggestions from firefox isn't building the best browser "for the user"?

It was long and boring presentation, so maybe I missed something this time but over the years Google keeps promising amazing stuff on Android and yet I'm to see someone doing something on Android that my iPhone can't(maybe they have the extra features, it's just that no one seems to be using those).

Oh and this stuff was amazing years ago, now it's boring. They apparently did some RAG applications that is usually a niche, specialised applications that small companies will do as SaaS. I doubt that any of this will see wide adoption, therefore I expect everything to be dropped and added to the list of "Killed by Google".

IMHO, Google needs to focus. Stop throwing things to the wall and see what sticks, instead do something substential and stick with it.
Yes. The best, most effective form of government is a benevolent dictatorship.

However, the mega-fatal flaw is that it is not reliably sustainable.

Ultimately, every dictatorship becomes malevolent.

Then, the need to protect the malevolent leadership from the subjects forces closed, loyalty-based structures, and plants the seeds of the dictatorship's demise as mistrust and inefficiency rot the structure and the society. Meanwhile, millions rot and die.

At least now they'll have an excuse for only ever returning a maximum of 400 results.
Certainly, the WhatsApp userbase is skewed. But most of WhatsApp Android users are also Google Play Android users (certainly not all, WhatsApp publishes the apk directly), so if WhatsApp doesn't want to cut off X million users on Android 5, but Google is ok with not supporting it, Google almost certainly has a higher threshold value required to keep support. I'd guess the Android 5 users with Google Play and not WhatsApp outnumbers the Android 5 users with WhatsApp and not Google Play, but none of those statistics are public.

With the number of Android devices out there, it really makes more sense to think about it in actual user/device count rather than percentages.
Much respect for Simon Peyton Jones, but empirically, that's not true: see Idris, PureScript, Elm, and probably many others.

Oh wow, this book cover art-piece has the same concept, but even more impressive; the Sun logo has 3 "sun" words in the logo not 4 (I know I also thought they were 4 initially), but this art piece has the word "Al-Khwarizmi" 4 times, one for each edge of the square.

Edit: I can't count, both have 4 words, one word for each edge.

Struggled with weight ever since I was a kid. It got really bad in my senior year of highschool and I'm finally starting to do better. I'v learned portion control and have given up drinking soda regularly and now I normally just have corbonated water I make. While I can't bring myself to goto the gym due to self esteem issue and not knowing what I'd even do their, I have started to walk more and move around as part of being a college student. Iv managed to drop a few pounds but I'm still overweight by more than 100 lbs.

I recognise that medication isn't a miracle solution but in some cases like mine, I'm not truely consuming as much calories as I used to yet I'm still weight so much. I do know that stuff out their could help me such as 2,4 Dinitrophenol or ephedra but both are illegal due to the side effects and the narrow gap between an effective dosage and toxicity. While I can recognize that these substances are not healthy long term, and they need to be respected, I also have trouble respecting that classification when I know how serious the side effects of common medications can be or how they can be abused just as easily.

Ironically I have trouble believing anything like this could help me would come to market soon. BAM15 is similar to 2,4 dinitrophenol but has less toxicity and is much safer but is no where ready to coming to market. GPL-1 drugs do show promise, I recently had to start one due to type 2 diabetes and other than slightly curbing my appetite it dosnt seem to be the miracle injection that is being proclaimed as.

All things aside, id love to be proven wrong and find out their is medication that could help me curb my cravings and boost my sloth like metabolism, but I also am warry of snake oil.

When I was younger, in my freshman years of highschool I was fat but it wasn't this bad. I wish I knew someone would have been honest and told me that I wasn't so overweight, and this may just be my mental health or body image perception issue but all I ever remember was people telling me I was obease and hearing bad comments, not that it was easily fixable. Iv suffered from back pain all my life and been told it was growing pains or my weight, I dropped 25 pounds but my back still kills me just as bad and some days walking can be to much, and the pain almost puts me to tears or causes me to feel weak in the legs.

TLDR: long life story stuff, I'm going to be skeptical

If Teams is problematic enough, and enough upper-middle folks who have to use it are unhappy and want more productive tools, the guys with the spending power may decide otherwise.

If that's the plan, they are moving too slowly on it. As this Manifesto thoroughly documents.

They need to make iPad Pro a multi-OS device. Or make the iPad version of iOS a true professional operating system. Right now, they're not showing progress on either front.

I review the tests as much (or more) as the code. If the tests are set up to test the right business rules, then I can be reasonably sure that the code will behave as expected.
