That format is actually properly called JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group), and the extension '.jpeg' is commonly used on *nix OSes. Using '.jpg' only became the standard on DOS/Windows in conformance with the old 8.3 filename constraint -- the same reason HTML files are often '.htm' rather than '.html' on Windows.
wonder when/how this will be used in desktop and server contexts - the mounting/shape seems to emphasize planar area. with current servers needing 12 channels/socket, is there space for 12x LPCAMM in even a standard 1U dual-socket server?

Rumor has it that AMD is pushing a 256b memory interface in Strix Halo, perfect for 2x LPCAMM: we might see some exciting developments in desktops as well.

I remember playing the NES Elite on an emulator quite awhile ago, and it baffled me that anything like it was even possible. 3D graphics, a huge open world, even a basic economy. I have no idea what kind of technical wizardry was required to get it working on the NES, but whomever did it deserves a medal; I'm envious because I know that I will be that clever.

Me: editing text is horrifically broken

You: why no [type correctly in the first place so editing isn't necessary]?

How does that even remotely answer the original objection?

You: With the spacebar cursor-move mode it's almost as fact as having a mouse.

I just did a quick check: with a mouse in this comment I can select insert points about once a second, maybe a bit faster. Before words in iOS I can do better than that: maybe 0.75 of a second? So yay! Then after: works for long words, fails for short words. Then in the words: tap-hold-drag to the spot, maybe once every two seconds. Then there was the time when iOS for no apparent reason selected the word instead of before the word. Then no amount of tapping will fix that until I tap <somewhere else> and then tap back where I want the insertion point. That took 3-4 seconds. Then there was the time when the tap-hold-drag option zoomed several lines above where my finger actually was, and I futzed with it trying to make it right, and eventually managed to not insert the cursor where I wanted. That took over five seconds and then I had to do it again to make it right. The logic of when the little zoom bubble shows up feels arbitrary.

If the misspelling bit worked correctly, that would be great. Sometimes it just wants to select the word.

So yeah, editing is broken.
I think that's a gross overstatement. Ecosystems matter, yes. But they don't matter more than quality.

Since there are a lot of Android and Windows devices out there, and the top applications are multiplatform (Whatsapp, FB, snapchat, much less wikipedia, google search and such) I'm not sure how much lock in there really is.

Nerds like us who care about running code on our machines are really the minority. Just look how little volume and revenue Apple gets from the mac (if they were run like most businesses they would have sold off or shut down the mac business long ago)
RSS is a great tool for detoxing from social media while at the same time having a "feed" to peruse when queuing at the pharmacy. I use NetNewsWire on iOS and it works like a charm. RSS feed URLs can vary but in some cases NetNewsWire finds it just from entering the main site URL. Otherwise you can try siteaddress/rss, /atom, /rss/feed.xml, /atom/feed.xml.

More and more sites used canned tools for publishing and most have an rss feed of "new posts" turned on by default (in quotes because more and more sites are essentially using blogging platforms for static content).

RSS is indeed far from dead. It's everywhere, whether you see it or not.
Love that as well. Even M1 12" would be a better device.

Trust is more complex then we take credit for.

Even when it comes to people like our parents, there are things we would trust them to do, and things that we would not trust them to do. But what happens when you have zero trusted elements in a category?

At the end of the day, the digital world is the real world, not some seperate place 'outside the environment'. Trying to treat digital like it doesn't exist puts you in a dangerous place to be deceived. For example if you're looking for XYZ and you manage to leak this into the digital world, said digital world may manipulate your trusted friends via ads, articles, the social media posts they see on what they think about XYZ before you ask them.
I would structure it financially and start by charging enough money to make a high level of service profitable.

Technically, I would start with on-premises with bespoke hardware from Dell with a fast response service contract.

For software I'd look for a white label solution.

In short I would spare no-expense because the customer is paying for it and the more I charge the more net revenue there is at any given markup. Charging a lot filters for customers who will pay a lot. CRM's are sold to the people who write checks not the people who have to use them.

YMMV. Good luck.
Tile is essentially useless, especially compared to airtags, annoyingly.

I had a tile, however I fianlly got rid of it when I was unable to locate my keys in my house. It sent me on a wild goose chase saying that it had been last seen near my bins.

I was in the same room as them for the first 15 minute of it beaconing.

Airtags seem to acutally work reliably, and because you don't need the app running, has a good network to find them outside of my house
The question of who owns the IP sounds like one for you and your investors and a lawyer. If it's you, and there's nothing else in the company of value then dissolving the company shouldn't be difficult. If the company owns the assets, retaining patent protection becomes more complicated and firing him and buying him out as part of the next round (you can raise subsequent rounds at higher valuations...) might be easier...
for crypto-mining you'd convert a single PCIe slot into 4 x1 PCIe slots - or just have a board with 12+ x1 PCIe slots. I'm not sure what magic goes in to PCIe, but i do know that at least one commodity board had "exposed" PCIe interface - the Atomic Pi.

anyhow the GPU would sit on a small PCB that would connect to an even smaller PCB in the PCIe slot on the motherboard, via USB3 cable. My point here is merely that whatever PCIe is, it can be transported to a GPU to do work via USB3 cables.
> Enabled AV1 hardware decode acceleration on macOS for M3 Macs.

That's also good. More AV1 support in more places is good for the health of video on the web.
It's good enough for the majority of use cases and systems; even an eight bit MCU is sufficient for many cases. If you design a product, saving power and cost makes the difference.
> Each of these transitions caused big problems. None of these problems have ever been completely solved. But each time we found mitigations that limit the impact of any misuse.

This a problem with all technology. The mitigations are like technical debt but with a difference. You can fix technical debt. Short of societal collapse mitigations persist, the impacts ratchet upward and disproportionately affect people at the margin.

There's an old (not quite joke) that if civilization fell, a large percentage of the population would die of the effects of tooth decay.

I don't know anything about supercomputer architecture; are lifetime upgrades that double the performance typical, let alone YoY?

What do those kinds of upgrades entail from a hardware side? Software side? Is this just a horizontal scaling of a cluster?
Sorry for spamming, but I also create list.

In my repo maintain domains in JSON format. Tags "video game" and "open source" also provide list of open source games.

Other useful combination is tag "self-host", which provides self hostable programs, etc etc.

Some games are tagged "video game port" because they are reimplementation of existing games rather than providing something new.
was just thinking the other day due to the latest iPad release.. I dont know how people stand to use an iPad when you can get a 13" Macbook air or in your case the 12" and just use that. Just the fact that the screen is held to the correct angle for 90% of use cases is huge. Sitting.. lounging.. I can't even really think of a regular use case I have where the iPad ergonomics are better.
I’d argue the iOS text interface isn’t even good for a touch screen.

The keyboard works decent but deleting, selecting, spellchecking, editing, undo is an exercise in frustration.

Like I can’t believe we’re over a decade into this and the delete key still does the thing were it goes from painfully deleting letter by letter for far too long, the. Jumping to words for a moment the. Suddenly deleting huge blocks and sometimes this can’t be undone
Funny, the original commit message for that suggests it was simply a precaution. It's not out of the ordinary to avoid newer kernel features just in case.

Like you mentioned, they already have implement support for multiple users on an iPad. But they require that you use mobile device management (MDM) and Managed Apple IDs.

https://support.apple.com/guide/deployment/shared-ipad-overv...

So basically only schools or businesses can use the feature. It’s really galling that the feature is already implemented but they won’t give it to us because of an obvious attempt at a money grab.
It's a UI/UX thing - Apple decided that iPads are single-user devices and login switching is too complicated. That's apple for you. Also, you still can't install runtime environments, making the iPad Pro a poor laptop substitute for developers - again, for no good reason. That's Apple for you.

Your comment seems unfair to me. We can say the exact same thing for the artist / IP creator:

Tough luck, then. You don’t have the right to shit on and harm everyone else just because you’re a greedy asshole who wants all the money and is unwilling to come up with solutions to problems caused by your business model.

Once the IP is on the internet, you can't complain about a human or a machine learning from it. You made your IP available on the internet. Now, you can't stop humanity benefiting from it.
Very sad to witness a genocide and these acts of pure inhumanity and evil.
Yeah I think you're right. I think deep press was a very intuitive feeling gesture that should come back and would give some freedom in this space.
The issue the Fed is trying to resolve is exactly too much money freely moving around - also known as inflation.

We’ll see when things change, but for now they’re not freeing up cash. And the housing market in particular’s momentum has been steadily changing.
Yes I watched the demo. True those things were not possible, so if that’s what’s blowing you away then fair enough I guess. For me that doesn’t impact at all anything have ever used voice for or probably will ever use voice for.

I’ve voice chatted with ChatGPT for hundreds of hours and never once thought “can you modulate your tone please?”, so those improvements are a far cry from magic or revolutionary imho. Again, that’s not to say they aren’t cool tech, forward advancements, or impressive —- but magic or revolutionary are pretty high bars.

To each their own though.
some "maker" products that were sold at target had a cardboard box with an arcade RGB-LED button on top, a speaker, and 4 microphones on a "hat" for a rpi... nano? pico? whatever the one that is roughly the size of a sodimm. It didn't have a wakeword, you'd push the white-lit button, it would change color twice, once to acknowledge the press, and again to indicate it was listening. It would change color once you finished speaking and then it would speak back to you.

It used some google thing on the backend, and it was really frustrating to get set up and keep working - but it did work.

i have two of those devices, so i've been waiting for something to come that would let me self-host something similar.
That’s a shallow take. The Bay Area used to have a plethora of different types of companies and innovation. Sadly social media and ad companies took over.
This article is long on name-dropping and sounding erudite, but it doesn't give an answer.

Well, that's a book review. All it can do is review the book. But that means that either it's a bad book review, or the book didn't give an answer either.

So, either surrealism actually doesn't matter, or people are doing a lousy job of explaining why it does. (Or, I suppose, the book title is the equivalent of clickbait.)
> I've been working on a system to extract certain financial "facts" across SEC filings. ChatGPT has not been helpful at all

The other day, I saw a demo from a startup (don't remember their name) that uses generative AI to perform financial analysis. The demo showed their AI-powered app basically performing a Google search for some companies, loosely interpreting those Google Stock Market Widgets that are presented in such searches, and then fetching recent news and summarizing them with AI, trying to extract some macro trends.

People were all hyped up about it, saying it will replace financial analysts in no time. From my point of view, that demo is orders of magnitude below the capacity of a single intern who receives the same task.

In short, I have the same perception as you. People are throwing generative AI into everything they can with high expectations, without doing any kind of basic homework to understand its strengths and weaknesses.
Middleware: OSS Engineering Analytics Platform
Great points, @prakash-choks!

Building on your thoughts, research has shown that consolidating HR tools into a single platform can significantly improve employee engagement, satisfaction, and performance. For instance, data analytics and integrated HR technology can provide valuable insights into workforce trends and behaviors, aiding in more strategic decision-making and improving overall HR effectiveness.

A 2024 Deloitte study shows that the trend towards integrated HR systems enhances the employee experience by allowing for greater flexibility and customization in how HR processes are managed.

And a report by People Managing People highlights that 69% of employees are likely to stay with a company for three years if they experience great onboarding, and well-structured rewards programs can increase employee performance by up to 44%.

Happyfolks seems to address these critical areas by providing an all-in-one solution for both HR and emoloyees.
The motivation for MMU hardware was reliability and not "security". Basically no one was thinking about computer crime in the 1970's. They were trying to keep timesharing systems running without constant operator intervention.

A better SOC improves the workflow for music production, 3d modeling/sculpting, illustration, video editing, and probably many other pro workflows I'm not thinking of at the moment.

The fact that the iPad is a shitty development platform doesn't mean that it lacks pro features or people can't make use of the improvements to the CPU/GPU.
> Samsung does monthly updates on more premium phones. But a former flagship like the S22 would sometimes only get the update near the end of the month, even before the S24 is out.

This is complicated by their rolling updates per country, it can be few weeks between the first CSC (3 letter identifier for country and carrier variant) to receive an update and it being rolled out to the final one.

I was towards the end of that update cycle, so the Android security patch level could become quite detached from the actual month.

Nah. I suspect that if Apple enabled multiple accounts, it would be a feature used by a very small minority of iPad users. It wouldn't make a dent in their sales.
Fine, I expect an MRI to take pictures of what's actually going on in my body rather than inventing MRI-like images that can fool the radiologist into thinking I'm healthy when I'm not. Not sure why this is controversial.
Hard to say exactly, but I'd guess ages 11 to 16. UK, boys' grammar school (selective state school). When you're not aware of the Ebbinghaus forgetting curve it's the most obvious explanation for how education works. I made the common assumption that quality of education is measured by exam scores, and the most effective method of passing exams is obviously cramming. And if cramming is the best method of learning, it must be possible to learn an entire syllabus in a single day, so the teachers must be intentionally limiting you.

I feel this is the most traditional and natural model of education. It's like medieval guilds, where you had literal secrets that would be revealed only after sufficient demonstration of loyalty.
Yes, Silicon Valley now bears little resemblance to Silicon Valley during its heyday in most ways.
You did not answer the question. Reaching 0.7 exaflops also requires those logistics and ecosystem. You didn't say what changes when you reach 1.0 (because it's nothing).

I have a post[1] about how I use my mouse. From that, you can get a sense of how I use tools. I think it will be interesting because while there are many articles about how to use keyboards, I couldn't find articles about mice.

> the worse option

Only with the following assumptions:

- "0 plastic" is a hollow marketing claim and not a real thing (what do you even mean by that?)

- the overall effect on Earth's biosphere is worse with no plastic than with plastic

Neither of those is obvious so it's counterproductive (and suspicious) to be pro-plastic here.

Out of the box that's true.

I don’t see discussion of this elsewhere, so: the Magic Keyboard isn’t good.

In some senses, yeah, it’s amazing. But I use the f keys all the time normally. I use esc all the time. The keyboard lacks both. It makes the iPad heavier than my laptop, ruins the pick up and use character; the pencil goes flying if you’re not really careful when carrying it; and you still can’t use it in many circumstances on the couch because of the weight balancing and you have to cradle it.

It stops it from being a tablet and turns it into an un-ergonomic laptop
Major Threat to the Healthcare Industry
I don't get it at all. There's some meteorites and then... theater? What is this movie about?
In my case, Keygen is a very critical part of a business -- much like billing -- so making sure it's reliable, secure, and well-maintained is paramount. This fact, in and of itself, weeds out most individuals (and businesses) who want to fork and steal, because then maintenance is pushed onto them or onto an untrusted third-party, which has a non-trivial cost for any worthwhile business. Much less risky to just pay the vendor of the software instead of treading through the risky route to save a few bucks.
