It’s a peculiar contortion that AI has made wapo’s losses, suddenly, a bigger problem than they had been over the past decade.

Context: wapo hasn’t been a viable company for a while. It’s Bezos’ apparent-charity project which also effects a Ben-Franklin-owns-the-megaphone strategy of being a newspaper publisher, in DC and reporting on the US government. The US government pays AWS a lot of money.

Why not just be candid and say you want to try AI technology for news reporting because you think it has a place in the world?
That's why my desktop CPU is 11 years old.
Not surprising, given the awkward position the product was in, targeting customers who don’t already have CarPlay or Android Auto (lower end of the market), but are also willing to pay for Spotify Premium and a good smartphone data plan (higher end of the market).
It's mere possible presence would probably be enough to get iTerm banned from more security-conscious companies, tho.

> Two identical capacitors are connected in parallel

it says, and goes on to show a picture that shows an open circuit with two capacitors connected in series, not parallel. If they were parallel, there'd be some kind of junction in between, or not? From the picture alone, how would one tell whether they're in parallel or in series?
Of course that’s possible, but unless we know them personally, there only information we have is from their portrait. That’s also why I said they are “red flags” and not definitive conclusions.
Which is all well and good if the person making the noise follows through, which this post inspires no confidence will happen. They have a (relatively) low-volume account which they are not deleting and leaving the posts up. That’s insignificant.

In other words, the author isn’t leaving Reddit. They are talking about possibly-maybe-who-knows leaving Reddit. They’re flirting with the thought while making sure they have a wide open door to go back later even if they do leave. Every single person who has quit silently has made a bigger impact.

By all means, make some noise about leaving Reddit. But do it after you’ve really committed to it and can influence others. Shower thoughts don’t spread awareness.
Most humans are aware that adding Elmer's glue to pizza cheese to "get the cheese to stick" is a humorous statement that would not work in reality, despite the fact that "glue" makes things "sticky." This should provide ample evidence that humans do better than LLMs here.
Microsoft knows its customers, and presumably provides a method for enterprises to nuke the 'AI' features. A lot of companies absolutely would not adopt an Office update with mandatory LLM.

I firmly believe that permanent key fusing to lock bootloaders should be outlawed. At the very least the keys (and schematics) should be released once the device reaches EOL.

It is more of a runaway experiment than real power though. You might end up with power if you accidentally get elected president of the US for example, could happen to everyone, but the memers are just throwing chaos at more chaos. With often entertaining or explosive results.
Yeah the problem is that those 1% of users are probably writing the most critical spreadsheets, and when companies using GSuite think about moving to Office365 the more pain it is to migrate spreadsheets the worse for Microsoft.
It doesn't. It's not meant to be a conclusion. But it's a fact of AI: it reduces the need for human beings. That, combined with its lack of usefulness, means we should destroy AI as it only brings us down and makes the world worse.
Your linked articles don’t back up the first part of your claim: the US doubled production, and exceeded production targets, but that progress is being hindered due to Congressional funding. So we have the ability to make shells, but don’t need them in mass numbers (because we’re not in an active war).

The OP article is about creating the manufacturing capability, which is different from having the capability and not needing it.

The most incredible thing about the new iPads is that even with the crazy fast M4 chip MS Teams manages to crawl to a halt.

No, he's been doing his own thing, but he's drawn inspiration from, or payed homage to, blues, jazz, r&b, bar pianists, country and so on.

See e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iG0p2JHcsQ0 . It's playful, original, pulls from a lot of previous artistic work.

Later on he does the soundtrack for The Black Rider, changes record label and gets the freedom to dabble in post-punk and weirder stuff.
It entirely depends how long you keep your devices. I try to keep my iPhones until release year + 6, so I would need the price of a previous version to be reduced by more than 1/6th on a new version release, which is usually not the case.
> How far is standard ML from F#?

There was a time when F# was just an OCaml extension for .NET, but it has developed a lot since.

You may not find a lot of in-depth comparisons between F# and Standard ML, because Standard ML isn't widely mentioned outside of academic research. But you do find comparisons between F# and OCaml, and that may paint a very similar picture:

https://jkone27-3876.medium.com/comparing-ocaml-to-f-f75e4ab...

The most significant differences I can think of are:

1) Standard ML and OCaml have a higher-order module system, and F# has interfaces that you can parameterise over generics.

2) The OCaml ecosystem is functional code on top of functional code, and F# is made to interact with non-functional code on .NET. (As for Standard ML, there isn't much of an ecosystem.)
Oh, it was most certainly worse. But that doesn't mean we can't do better.

A critical original response should be accepted as true and be advertised at the top of the paper if not responded to within 14 days. The response should involve corrections or a timely planning for it.

I don't like how software has to be actively maintained to be usable or taken serious but the results are hard to question.
Agreed. We really need some sort of regulation that prevents companies from bricking devices they sold. It's just so unethical, and wasteful, to put these devices out there and then just turn them into trash.
To people who say that notation doesn't matter, this is what all mathematics was like before we got our new better notation.

I'd go as far as saying that in mathematics little other than notation matters and the same is true in computer science.

A vulnerability scanner for container images and filesystems
You missed the point, or I failed to adequately explain it. I know full well (now, without the intentional disinformation that was being spread earlier) that the feature is entirely disabled without an API key present. I understand that, as things stand right now, the decision of whether or not to engage with OpenAI through iTerm2 is entirely mine.

My point is that I believe the reason people are still repulsed by it to such a high degree is not because they all have some irrational deep-seated hatred of the AI technology, but that they are repulsed by the idea of even accidentally engaging with the OpenAI corporation (who just announced a partnership with News Corp of all things...); They are terrified of some situation in the future where someone comes along with code or packet traces and says "Hey, look at this, OpenAI has all your data anyway, and there's nothing you can do about it but seethe and cope; sucks to be you!"

It seems that M4 was overhyped. Almost of all of the performance improvements, in Geekbench for example, comes from new instructions that most apps won't use, and even if they do they might end up using the faster GPU/NPU for those tasks.

Overall, my 2020 M1 MBP is infinitely better than the 2015 MBP I had before, it's not even close. Battery life, thermal output, speed, noise, neural engine (for ML workloads). It's an utter workhorse that just marches on, no matter what I throw at it. I haven't even considered upgrading to another more current Mx version because this one just.. works. Best laptop I ever owned.
What I meant wasn't that it was a language that was compatible with an earlier language. Groovy just compiles to the JVM; lots of things do. TypeScript is just JavaScript with type safety; Python did that too. Objective-C was just NeXT attempting to make the ugliest-looking programming language possible and they succeeded immediately.

But Cfront was released circa 1983 and you basically just wrote C, but it added a bit of new syntax that generated extra C behind the scenes. Object-oriented programming was still fetal in 1983! It didn't get really hyped until the mid-90's. So C++ kind of mutated for decades as this gross appendage on C until it became this whole separate blob that ate half of programming. It was 15 years later when the C++98 "standard" started trying to reign in Dr. Stroustrup's monster.

Then in 2005 we threw away all our textbooks that were like "Look! `Apple` derives from `Fruit`! `Car` derives from `Engine`! This is going to change the world!" because adding object-orientedness to everything became uncool when our bosses became fans of Java. But by this point the C++ blob had taken on a life of its own...

So yeah. Very few programming languages have a story as long and insane as C++.

I was suspicious when they advertised on sale for $30 last year. Maybe Lina Khan will peruse the emails that lead to that clearance.

Though it's no surprise Spotify failed at hardware given their general software competency. Broke the Chromecast app for years after the big mobile redesign. Not sure how it's possible to have such bugs in an app that shows three buttons, a progress bar, and a picture, but 2,000 engineers will find a way. Liked page on the phone app doesn't even load with bad service, which is like your umbrella not opening in the rain.

Anyone know of alternatives, even alternative clients?

The wait staff may not have even realized they were waiting for service. I’ve used booths in an empty section not expecting or wanting service.

Eg I’ve borrowed an empty booth for 5 or 10 minutes in an empty section when I got paged while out to dinner. I didn’t expect any service.

I’ve also done it when I was out to eat and got bad news. I needed a minute alone, and outside the restaurant is usually very much not “alone”.

I’ve definitely benefited from having practically infinite computing power be just one API call (and credit card bill) away. I remember before AWS and provisioning computing resources was way more time consuming and annoying.
It wasn't entirely irrational. There are many genuine cases for the public cloud. The problem is groupthink and FOMO. Also, people are migrating from the public cloud and the other way round each day, but the cloud companies amplify user stories only from the latter, so you may get the impression that everybody is there so if you don't, you are doing something wrong.

There isn’t that much latitude - the “up reversal” and “essential” options don’t really apply here. That only leaves “Abort or Undo”. The concern here is with UIs feeling snappy, so we’re not talking about the type of long-running task where abort applies, which leaves Undo. So - no longer is it a simple matter of “just use the mousedown event, stop overcomplicating UIs by adding things like long press and drag/drop that force you to use mouseup events”, it’s a much more complicated matter of “use the mousedown event and also implement a comprehensive undo system”.
You're not wrong. But in those scenarios, I tend to be off the clock
What I always find so disappointing in these scenarios is when companies are too chicken-shit to just give a reasonable honest explanation to requests like open sourcing this to avoid them all turning into e-waste.

It feels like adding insult to injury for everyone who put faith in the product/company.

I've been a long-time premium subscriber of Spotify, but I've already decided I will never buy a hardware device from them (even before Car Thing came out) or do something like pay annually for their services, because I don't trust their commitment to anything for more than 30 days at a time at this point.

Substitute 'Blockchain' for 'AI' and this is a comment from 2016 or so. Not to say that one can predict the doom of 'AI' on that basis, but lots of VC money being ploughed into a thing does not necessarily mean that the thing will become a Thing.
MS Teams is by far the worst piece of software I’ve ever used. It is ungodly slow and it just gets slower the more you use it.

I believe it is actually hitting the server to update the online/away status light for every single message in a conversation. If you turn off all the status update stuff in the settings then the software speeds up dramatically. Another thing you can do is find the folder where it caches everything and just trash the entire thing. Somehow, they’ve managed to make caching slow everything down rather than provide a speed up.
It's a paid product. Who wants to pay to read AI content? If you're monetizing on ads this would make sense but if I pay for WaPo it is because of the reputation it has thanks to human investigative journalists.

This is disingenuous. And the reason is you clearly refuse to take testimony from those of us who do this every day. I'll tell you right now that it's been well over a year since I had any kind of safety-related disengagement. So, you'll change your mind?

Of course not. You're going to say that that's not enough data, and then go and cherry pick a single accident or testimony to the contrary to invalidate the data that you just said was a valid test.

Hi Nebula8804,

Sorry to hear about these problems! We stand behind our products, and have the lowest return rate in the industry. We treat quality like a ratchet: when we identify problems, we fix them and implement processes to keep it from happening again.

And also, obviously, are you emulating the cloud approach that Remarkable has taken, and if so, will there be an API for me to slip my autogenerated daily schedule on to it? :)
