One of the main problems with Facebook's metaverse was precisely that none of the developers working on it actually wanted to use it, to the point where it had to be mandated by management.

Like, guys, when even the people who are making your product don't want to use it, this counts as data about how successful the product will be. If you have to force paid employees to use the product, then you'd have to pay users to use it too: there's no profit margin here, there's no user base.
What is the context here, wrt relevance to Mozilla's mission? Anyone know? Are they planning a new feature for firefox, for example?
> far more "serious" software (e.g. your Autodesks, Mathematicas, Abletons, etc.) with Linux releases has been developed with Qt and little or perhaps none with GTK since that earlier wave (where maybe the most complex app was Acrobat PDF Reader).

You have to use Qt if you want anything but trivial desktop software. D: If you've used modern GTK and Qt, it's obvious why.
You are missing the point. Nearly 100% of those bugs are due to the fact that it is written in a memory unsafe language, FFmpeg is 23 years old and we still find memory corruption bugs in it every few months. That's why people are saying to perhaps use a memory safe language instead, I don't understand why people give this such a hostile response, it has been widely accepted that C is dangerous and can not ever be made safe, to suggest anything different is denying reality.
But why does a social network have to make money directly?

I’m not saying FF is perfect but just this week a coworker fixed this major lag issue on one of our pages and did a pull request. I tested it but that page didn’t have any issues on my machine, switched from FF to Chrome and the page was unusable. Apparently “border-radius” can cause absolute havoc sometimes (at least it did in Chrome)
Didn't know that was done outside north America.
Less vertical scrolling it seems.
You sneakily jump from "victim is trusting" to "victim is powerless"

Yes the victim is trusting because he probably won't think to authenticate the fake.

The victim is not powerless, actually. the victim has all the power to get money back. many stories how very easy to get a transaction reversed with paypal/ebay and leave the seller holding the bag, even if the seller is legit.
It’s 3:2, which historically people said it’s “better” for coding because it allows more vertical space.

Personally I find bigger monitor available today is more than enough vertically. Horizontal space is actually quite useful to be able to put things side by side.
Vertical monitor orientation
and an a Selectric II/III didnt use a felt ribbon, but rather a wax transfer.
I personally prefer ultra wide monitors for coding, can have split windows for multiple files, web browser, terminal, etc. I don't know why people like 3:2.
IIRC we’re seeing LFP at $50 or less per kWH now. A typical 75 kWh battery could soon be cheaper than an ICE drivetrain. I think we’re not far from ICE being the expensive choice. It’s already the expensive choice for long term use, pretty soon the capital cost will be higher too.
The 3:2 aspect ratio gives you more vertical space than a 16:9 ratio or similar. The good-for-coders idea is that you can see more "pages" of code without scrolling, but also without meaningfully decreasing the length of lines you can see, since it's still plenty wide.

The Framework 13" laptop has a 3:2 screen. After almost 2 years using it, I... kinda like it? I think I would agree that I can see more code per screen. But on the occasion when I'm using another laptop, with a more standard 16:9 or 16:10 screen, it feels more "normal" somehow.
I guess pardoning Kodak Black and Lil' Wayne didn't make him cool enough...
The gold rush for data is wild. Private companies selling us out.

- Slack

- Discord

- Reddit

- Stackoverflow

Let’s just hope this data gold rush dies out faster than the web3 craze before OpenAI reaches critical mass and gets access to government server farms.

Alphabet boys have server farms of domestic and foreign surveillance and intelligence. Exabytes of data [1]

[1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utah_Data_Center
Yes, they'll make like Arduino and launch the Raspberry Pi Cloud.
In theory, the following things:

The 3:2 ratio suits reading and editing text, because our eyes have trouble following in lines of text that are too long (think about how a paperback page is shaped, or A4 or letter paper). The counter-argument is that 16:9 is actually better because it's functionally two 8:9 panels if you split the screen.

The light on the back reduces eye-strain in dark environments by lighting a wall (if there is one) behind the screen.

Less reveolutionary is automatic brightness adjustment and the dark/light controls, but they might be nice.

It basically just folds into one package a couple of things that are good practice for text editing and reading.
Looks like they’re using the same panels as the Huawei Mateview. Only these ones are VESA mountable. 3:2 at such high resolution, for me is a great experience. I’ll maybe grab one for my work desk to run vertically as I can’t do the same with the Mateview
> we do not build or train these models in such a way that they could learn, memorise, or be able to reproduce some part of Customer Data

They don't "build" them this way (whatever that means) but if training data is somehow leaked, they're off the hook because they didn't build it that way?
I know they (Ente) are working on local ML features for those types of use cases. Don't know the latest status.
60hz refresh rate? That's unfortunate.

Love the 3:2 aspect ratio. But I would expect at least 100 - 120hz these days.

I think it's at least better to have real delta-9 THC (and real unadulterated flower) available for legal purchase instead of the endless poorly studied THC lookalikes that have flooded into the market.

The best LLMs were trained on data from the open internet, which is full of garbage. They still do a pretty good job (granted it has been fine tuned and RLHF'd, but you can do that with Slack data too)
For every unit of height, there is 1.5 units of width.

A traditional monitor is 16:9: that means for every unit of height, there is 1.77 units of height.

It sounds like a small difference, but it means a ~15% increase in height.

ex. my Visual Studio Code would show 70 lines of code instead of 60.

This is an especially good tradeoff for code, because we tradtional line wrap at ~80 characters, which leaves large swaths of width available.
Trust isn't an all-or-nothing thing.

I trust the local bank teller to not steal my money, but I wouldn't trust them with access to my text messages. I trust my dentist with my dental health, but I wouldn't let them have access to my firesafe.

If I trust someone to verify someone else's identity, it doesn't mean I trust them to have access to my correspondence with that person.
I have a similar monitor at work. I find my adhd deals better with a single, wider monitor than with multiple monitors.
That said, as I type, my keystrokes make the monitor shake. This is visibly irritating and I still haven't solved this issue. Looking at this monitor I'd sadly expect the same to happen.
Yeah. I usually code with a 3 column, 2 row split view on a 4k.

I love QMMP ( https://qmmp.ylsoftware.com/ ). It is compatible with Winamp Skins, supports network playing (shoutcast) and works pretty well in my Linux Mint installations. I may be old fashioned, but man my brain has got so much "muscle memory" on years and years of Winamp use during the 90s ...

I cannot live without stuff like equalizers, visualization plugins, Last.FM scrobbing and even automated track "ripping" of radio stations.

It makes me so sad the state of current audio players like YouTube Music, Spotify, Tidal and the likes. featurewise they are so... bland. Millenials and GenZs just don't enjoy music the same way I used to enjoy it. Maybe it is because there so much of it now that it doesn't matter so much
If anything, it should help push out the poorly understood non-delta-9 THC variants that currently only exist because they're not technically illegal. I want real cannabis available for legal purchase, not the lookalikes that come in vaporizer packages (delta-8, THC-P, HHC, etc).
This is going to be impossible to police, and we haven't seen anything yet:

All knowledge workers (at least) are going to end up with real Bossware, in the form of a an AI chatbot boss.

Of course they will be called AI assistants, co-workers, collaborators, secretaries, etc, but while they will most likely be able to help complete complex tasks in a variety of industries, it's absolutely certain that they will be able to 'help' with todo lists and scheduling.

So, after conversing with your personalized AI to create a new sales report or whatever, the AI is going to helpfully remind you that you have a meeting in 20 minutes, and that's just enough time to squeeze in the product inventory report, if we go for it.

And then at the end of the day/week/month, the AI will 'helpfully' assess your performance and recommend corrective measures.

And make recommendations about you to your human bosses too, of course.

> According to the US Department of Agriculture, consumption of avocados in the United States has tripled since 2001, climbing to more than eight pounds per person each year.

Man, y'all ain't pulling your weight. I easily eat eight pounds of avocados a week. Thank god for globalization, they're available year round now!

> After getting laid off from a job, he went to work on it seriously, and he launched Primavera’s consumer website last May. Through it, customers nationwide can order a box of four pounds of avocados from their groves for $39 or sign up for a subscription plan.

Holy shit, that's why. It's like $5 per 2 pound bag at Trader Joes here.
It’s definitely a moral hazard (/opportunity). As a reminder, by default on windows 11 Microsoft syncs your files to their server.
The throughput of the PCIe link between the CPU and GPU, is far less than the aggregate throughput of the internal interconnects between neighbouring tensor cores.

Matrix operations might flow a lot of data around — but that data flow is akin to a bunch of individual people travelling along the individual residential streets they live on. There's a lot of movement there, but also a lot of capacity for movement, because there's no bottleneck of everyone needing to go to the same place or come from the same place.

Persisting the data out of the GPU and then loading it back in, is more like all those people commuting to work and then going back home. Big fan-in onto the PCIe "highway" over to the CPU and into RAM; then big fan-out back. Traffic jams for miles.

In the time it takes to restore a 1GB state snapshot from RAM into VRAM, you can probably chew through the equivalent of 1TB or more of intermediate matrix states.
15:10 vs 16:9. I think that's enough difference to notice.

2560 x 1600 resolution is a bit disappointing though.

Too bad 1:1 display isn't common.

This article rubs me up the wrong way because it seems to imply that the standards for male and female contraception are different when really it seems to come down to the time periods involved.

The pill probably wouldn't be approved today and even the modern IUD is 35-50 years old depending on how you count it. It seems to me that the overriding factor is that we just had different standards for what constituted significant side effects back then.

If there were some sort of grand conspiracy to make women suffer then this would be a really roundabout way to do it over just banning birth control or never researching it at all.
I doubt I eat a pound in a year. Are you vegan/vegetation? I can't imagine eating that much otherwise, unless you have a very unhealthy obsession with guacamole...

The concept of payment beyond present requirements may not have existed back then. People were payed in the resources their family needed to survive between the harvest seasons.

Agreed, it hasn't been a real issue in what, decades? I've been using Linux for a really long time but even for me I think Qt had switched to GPL a couple years before I first used KDE (exact memory fuzzy). But I definitely recall people bringing it up and using it as a reason to avoid KDE even in the KDE4/Gnome 3 early days.

What do you think chatGPT uses as training data?

The whole world’s “sh*tposting”: Reddit, blogs, and the rest of the internet.

But also books and Wikipedia and what not.

You can “smooth” all the crap out via the training procedure.

But even more, Slack can easily filter training data to, say, only posts in high-use channels.

Further, slack has other options: eg, use their customer data only for marginal fine-tuning, for example.

Or, they don’t even know their use case yet - but want to wrap their arms around your data pronto.

Why so many comments recommending switch browser from Google Chrome to Firefox? This is a Web Google Search feature right? If is only enabled on Chrome now I'm sure will soon be enabled on other browsers.

I also encourage to switch to Firefox, but in this case to escape this feature is changing the default search engine on your browser, which I recommend Kagi (paid without ads) or Duck Duck Go (free with ads).
If you’re trusting a party for identity verification of a party you’re communicating with, isn’t that implying trust with the correspondence itself? After all, they could just “verify” themselves as the other party of your correspondence.

It’s the same principle as user permission management—if someone has the ability to grant permissions then they are a superuser, because they can grant any additional permission to themselves.

The point of the post was that merely having a subculture attached to something doesn't make it good or bad. The addition of the bank robbing was to make that point obvious by attaching a subculture to something obviously bad. If you thought they were saying that graffiti is bad because it's like bank robbery (which is bad) then you misunderstood the point of the post.

Agreed. The "original" seemed to use a proportional font (with a very narrow "I"), while the fake seemed to use a mono-spaced non-proportional (with a wide "I"), which seemed more plausible to me (for a typewriter).
I feel as if the article is missing the important detail that eBay auctions are full, absolutely full, of fake/timewaster bids.

That’s not true. If it appears true it’s because you’re using a repl that treats the first part as a separate statement and returns the value of the second part as the most recent statement, but there’s literally nowhere you can encounter the behaviour you described in a JavaScript program
"and the buses can recharge at off-peak demand hours"

No they can't. Someone really failed here. The bus needs to charge overnight for the morning run, then charge again for the afternoon run.

Then somehow they plan to discharge it during peak 5-10 hours. Except at 5PM the bus battery is basically empty, since it just finished the afternoon run.

It's almost like they expect the bus battery to be twice as large as it needs to be so it can charge overnight and have extra. But that's obviously quite a stupid thing to do.

They did mention using them during the summer, and that might work.
It does not help or explain anything about the misgendering.
