From a US perspective it was much worse than that. People seemed to 1) divide into two groups: you like the idea of masks, or you hate the idea of masks. Then 2) invent reasons to justify that position. The media simply followed along with this, providing pseudo-justification for one position or the other depending on political color.

I only use the phone to send messages when I'm not at home, otherwise I use the computer. One of the best things about Telegram is their good desktop client, they even have online indicators like ICQ.

This was true for ICQ as well, in a way. I used some java app on my Sony Ericsson phone back in the day to read and send ICQ messages, but of course back then you had to connect to the internet explicitly, phones weren't always online so it was of limited use but still cool.

> Maybe someday but not with LLMs, which by nature do not understand who's talking, who is being quoted, and who is being falsely quoted.

Exact opposite. Humans don't have time to work out any of those things in practice. Machines do have time, and LLMs make a much better job of those things given the real limitation on human labour that actually exist in practice.
While generally possible, it seems unlikely to me given that the baby had been to the hospital 2 days before she died, and to a pediatrician the day before (maybe the day of, the wording is unclear).

It’s possible that something happened in that day or two, or that two separate medical facilities missed signs of abuse, but it seems less likely than that the child just wasn’t abused.

The autopsy didn’t show clear signs of abuse either. Again, it’s possible there were no indications, but we’re starting to stack up an awful lot of unlikely events.

I won’t deny a possibility, but I would deny a probability and would certainly deny that it meets the “reasonable doubt” standard.

Well, spray herbicides does not demand much power so it could be quick, moving soil demand much power, cutting grass and alike demand much power, irrigation demand a certain amount of power.

I suppose that a slowly moving large machine could be powered by p.v. for spraying chemicals and for certain kind of irrigation, deep water pumping probably eat more power but still enough for a 40kWp p.v. spread around a field, for the field. Moving soil will demand few days instead of one, but for that I see not much issues, similarly harvesting. Am I wrong?

Weirdly, I was just thinking about using an LLM to form sql queries for me, because I've forgotten much of what I knew. First time I had that thought and 5 minutes later, this fascinating idea rolls into my feed to pull me in further. I know I'm not exactly the target audience, but now I'm intrigued.

I went through a coding/design bootcamp a while back and there was virtually no focus on SQL, so a lot of my classmates were hesitant to jump into relational dbs for projects. I could see it being used in a tool for new devs or those who've focused on a JS stack and need some help with SQL.
This is such a great read. Fascinating and well written, super complex things in microbiology explained (and entertaining)
Logistics is under appreciated. And the logistics lessons from fighting real wars are mostly applicable in other wars even if they’re of a different nature.

Wait, it didn't take an entire night to download a 1 sec wav (assuming the worst) file, did it?

1 sec of wav would be 176.4 kB (assuming 44.1 kHz, 16 bits, stereo), or 176.4 * 1024 * 8 bits. That divided by 28800 bits/s (assuming a 28k modem) gives 50.1 seconds.

A 96 kHz 32 bit stereo wav would be 768 kB, 4-5 times that so still less than 5 minutes.

To test intelligence by humans or AI, one needs a question where the answer hasn't been memorized (or answered by someone in its training set).

Indeed, you can see something like ChatGPT fall down by simply asking a modified form of a real IQ test question.

For example, ChatGPT answers a sample Stanford binet question "Counting from 1 to 100, how many 6s will you encounter?" correctly, but if you slightly modify it and ask how many 7s instead, it will only count 19.

Having written this out however, I've now invalidated the question since they use webcrawls to train.

I'm confused about why you're confused. The point of the movie was definitely not to give the audience the shocking realism that if you're force feeding yourself to the point of vomiting, you're probably doing something wrong. This aspect of the movie only lessens the actual argument of the movie (except that it makes good headlines and thus probably drove the majority of the media coverage and general interest in the documentary).

Yes

No

Somewhere in between those two extremes is knowing enough to know that the command you’re pasting in isn’t going to install a virus, even though you don’t fully understand what the -g flag is doing
No, in pretty much everything.

All three examples you gave have substantial UI and other bundled assets. For example, the Docker Desktop app is about 2GB on my computer, yet included assets make up at least 1.2GB, and a further 600MB is a bundle containing the UI, which itself is about 100MB of binaries.

If you actually open those bundles (as they're called on macos) and take a look inside, you'll see that they don't even contain all of their assets, anyways, often linking to frameworks contained in ~/Library

This is a very layperson explanation, btw, but I assure you that "in modern desktop software, code is a tiny bit of the total size of the application" is a very true statement.
N95 style and other similar masks don't work by making holes that are smaller than the particles they are meant to filter, they filter smaller particles primarily with electrostatic effects.
This resonates with me, although I would go a step further to say the makeup/experience of the developers is a product of the competency of leadership. Most leaders wind up in their positions out of pure luck and chicanery. I can't tell you how many lay offs I've been through where the best people are let go and the worst are kept on and unintentionally sabotage the entire engineering team.
I've thought along these lines myself and wished that we could make more use of it because many times you only realize the pattern you just solved was actually a variation of some other pattern from another field after the fact.

AVX512 is all around a nice addition as JIT-based runtimes like .NET (8+) can use it for most common operations: text search, zeroing, copying, floating point conversion, more efficient forms of V256 idioms with AVX512VL (select-like patterns replaced with vpternlog).

SVE2 will follow the same route.

Drs rediscover integration is about people stepping far outside their field of expertise.

It is neither deception or ignorance.

It's the same reason some of the best physics students get PhD studentships where they are basically doing linear regression on some data.

Being very good at most disciplines is about having the fundamentals absolutely nailed.

In chess for example, you will probably need to get to a reasonably high level before you will be sure to see players not making obvious blunders.

Why do tech firms want developers who can write bubble sort backward in assembly when they'll never do anything that fundamental in their career? Because to get to that level you have to (usually) build solid mastery of the stuff you will use.

Trading is truly a complex endeavour - anybody who says it isn't has never tried to do it from scratch.

Id say the industry average for somebody moving to a new firm and trying to replicate what they did at their old firm is about 5%.

Im not sure what you'd call a problem where somebody has seen an existing solution, worked for years on it and in the general domain, and still would only have a 5% chance of reproducing that solution.

That there is still a market for "security as an afterthought" is bothersome.

My guess its the exact same technique used in the Comanche games - or at least the same results can be achieved with it.

Contrary to popular belief, those games didn't use true 3D voxels - they used a heightmap that stored a color and height value in the terrain texture which they raymarched into.

You could recreate the same look with raymarching into the texture in a shader which I suspect would look very similar to what the blog post achieved..

Does it matter? Was society behaving like you in other ways back then? I'm younger than the set here but not young certainly, and I distinctly remember how lonely it was to be a nerd in the '90s. I've assumed through most of my life that the most you can do is control how you and your circle behave. My circle varies on the introversion/extroversion scale where I'm in the middle and roughly get back to comms within a day, my more introverted friends may take multiple days, and have extroverted friends who get back within hours or even minutes. My partner is on the extroverted side and is constantly monitoring her comms but before the smartphone she had a rich rolodex of contacts who she was constantly calling.

SQ2 is only “hard” because of all the inane unwinnable situations it puts you in. Didn’t help an alien at the beginning of the game? His friends are going to murder right near the end. Forget to search your locker at the second screen of the game? Unwinnable. That’s not even mentioning the long pixel walking maze the game makes you do twice.

SQ3 was actually fun and fair. I don’t remember a way to make the game unwinnable, it let you backtrack to get items or mercy killed you on the spot.

Another question most of these studies fail to ask is what is the effectiveness of each type of mask? An N95 mask is going to have a big difference in efficacy vs a surgical mask without a seal.

Another issue is that most of these studies are just surveys. Did participants actually use their masks for x hours? Did they use their masks correctly?
I maintain that the majority of games are still disposable, despite the occasional subscription model or long-lived hit that pops up. Remember that most games aren't made by AAA studios.

Wasn't Minecraft completely rewritten from scratch in Java after a few years?

DJI spray drones are quite an old idea, a much better value than Hylio drones, and very popular in China. They're especially favored in smaller-acerage targeted application scenarios like orchards as well as specialty applications like terrace farms where tractors are less efficient, but they work OK on large-scale fields as well. An Agras T50 is $25k. That's not that bad compared to a normal tractor and really, really cheap compared to an Air Tractor, especially when you start considering wet cost.

The big issue preventing you from seeing more of these the US is regulatory. Right now, agricultural drones are a huge pain to fly, although the situation has been improving:

* The drone needs both an operator and a visual observer.

* The drone needs to be within line of sight (this is easier when it's huge, but still a significant limitation).

* The operator needs an FAA Part 107 license. Until this year they also needed a second-class medical as part of the overweight waiver process, but now third-class medicals are OK.

* The operator needs a Part 137 spray license.

* The drone needs to be on a special list to get a 49 USC Section 44807 exception (basically, a carve-out to Part 137 allowing certain drones above 55lb to be used for agriculture). Until recently, this process was horrible and required specific authorization, experimental certificates, and all kinds of waivers, but thankfully it's been cleaned up.

Hylio got a waiver to allow up to 3 simultaneous flights and no visual observer. If more of these exemptions are issued (or the overall regulation loosens), I suspect spray drones will actually become quite popular. Even with the current pilot limitations, it's already possible to run an agricultural spray business using DJI drones that easily beats traditional crop dusting in terms of price-per-acre. The main issue is acres available, since the current setup is so inefficient - there just isn't enough supply to really disrupt the crop dusting market when it comes to large megafarms. Once a single operator can observe autonomous flight from tens of drones at once, things will become quite competitive - you can buy a lot of T50s for the price of an Air Tractor.

Fixed-wing spray drones are an even better idea than inefficient quadcopters, and I look forward to seeing more of these designs, like the Pyka Pelican, hit the market as well.
