I'm sorry for the folks who are spreading those rumours. I believe - not only they are non-technical, they lack critical thinking as well. It's not their fault. Each time there comes a new revolutionary technical advancement, we are throwing them into trenches. Then, they are on their own to find and understand - what the hell we have thrown at them.

Back in the 80s and 90s, there were some politicians who were spreading similar rumours that Computers are going to take our jobs away. And, where we are now?

That's one thing that a lot of us tech seem to forget, the way we interact with technology is completely different from how most of the population does. It's not just a matter of a few degrees of difference, we operate in entirely different manners.
I had problems with the "no foreign key indexes by default" issue, and as much as I love Postgres I think this is an unfortunate foot gun.

I think it would be much better to create indexes for foreign keys by default, and then allow skipping index creation with something like a `NO INDEX` clause if explicitly desired.
Prezi lost me a PhD co-advisor, this person only liked traditional slide formats. In retrospect, this was a good thing to not have this person oy board. I used it pretty close to traditional slides, but they could not be made happy unless it was powerpoint... Separately, I did have a lot of fun making a Prezi to explain how GPUs worked for another class, which went over swimmingly for a different audience.

I ended up using reveal.js for my defense slides because the 2D slide grid allows you to go deep on a subject and keep the main flow clean.

"Infra-red" covers a bunch of wavelengths. 'Near Infra-red' is very close to visible light, and is what's used by remote controls and picked up by cell phone camera sensors. It's around the 0.75–1.4 μm range. On the other hand, thermal cameras are sensitive to 'Long-wavelength infrared' which is around 8–15 μm wavelength.

Marketers of things like CCTV cameras love to sow confusion about these things, as NIR-sensitive cameras are extremely cheap while thermal cameras are comparatively expensive.

Humans are not sensitive to NIR because for the vast majority of human existence, any time there was NIR light there was also an abundance of normal visible light, due to a little thing called "the sun"

Well, that and a clickable link would conflict with mouse reporting if both were active at once.

Given that mouse reporting exists, and "has precedence" due to its age, I think iTerm's choice — to style the anchor-SGR text either way, but to only make them actually act like links rather than text if you hold a modifier key — is the only "correct" behavior for rendering anchor-SGR text, regardless of security concerns.

But that really wouldn't be true for most other potential novel graphical-rendition "styles." Anything that's non-interactive could certainly be on by default.
Cmake is pretty standard so windows users could just generate their own project files. But I mean not using .bat files or the command prompt like it's 2001. Powershell scripts are more common with Windows developers these days and is a far better syntax than batch files. But Visual Studio/MSBuild is the de facto way to compile code for MSVC (which the instructions use anyways, but bizarrely compiling the projects via CLI instead of MSBuild). The whole project just seems like it was written using 1990s build patterns. It doesn't even have a modern build system for linux, let alone windows

I looked over use of Normies in books before 2000:

- Earliest use: shortening of "Norman".

- Lots of use by the disabled to refer to people who aren't disabled.

- A little use that happens to be like the article, from substance abuse communities referring to people with normal relationship with substances.

- Some use in monster/vampire fiction.

Then it started to be used a little bit in the present prevailing sense on the internet in the late 90's. Usage exploded from 2000-2015, rising >10x, and almost all of the current use is in the current form of referring to people derisively for having normal tastes, hobbies, and viewpoints.

There's a line between taking the edge off and avoiding things that you really need to deal with. And not singling out weed here, alcohol has the same issue.

GM requiring Google integration and eliminating Apple Car Play and Android Auto makes me think a brand new model is immediately disposable.

If I have choice removed from me, in particular a choice I very much care about, then I’m going to care about owning that car less. The more that happens the more people may view vehicles as pure utility and much easier to walk away from for any reason, especially repair cost. Who cares whether you replace a Chevrolet with a Ford when they are untouchable boxes?

Insurance companies would love this BYW. If they can find a cheaper alternative that’s another brand, you’ll be reimbursed for that, not what you originally bought.

It certainly looks like many small choices are being made towards automobiles being truly disposable.

Thanks for the additional article. Still seems confusing to me. I would not intuitively expect a treatment of pancreatic islets to also solve insulin resistance. More intuitive, with all I know about Diabetes 2 would be that it resets the illness to an earlier stage but does not completely cure it. Must be an individual where the effects of missing insulin production far outweigh any insulin resistance. Or the whole insulin resistance - diabetes 2 connection theory might be wrong.

The entire idea of "well let's rebuild this before it ever gets bad". That only works in the one tiny niche corner of greenfield development that nearly no one works in.

If nothing else a company that is more like a collection of independent guilds or co-ops marshaled by a higher AI level would be really interesting. No idea if it would win in the market.

This seems more like confusion over the difference between an open ISA and an open chip design on the part of policymakers than confusion over the meaning of “open source”.

4090 should have enough VRAM for 124M param training. Even at float32 precision, with AdamW optimizer, parameters should only be ~2GB (124M params x 4 bytes per param x ~4 for optimizer weight overhead). So there should be plenty of remaining space for activations.

This story was also posted on CNN [0]. The following quote annoyed to an unreasonably degree:

> They show that even children in ancient times were exposed to extreme violence. “It does not seem to be a problem only of today, between video games and social media,” Gabriel Zuchtriegel said in a statement about the latest discovery.

I get that video games can (but do not have to be) violent but the fact that they mention video games and social media and neglect to mention active shooter drills in US schools, the 24*7 news cycle, other media (movies, tv), etc. makes it sound like Zuchtriegel (the director of the Archaeological Park of Pompeii) has an agenda. I truly believe that people who do not enjoy video games look down on them and gladly use them as fodder when the opportunity arises. Sorry for ranting.

Availability and mass adoption are two very entirely different things.

The time in which people take most commutes by any kind of car is: today... 51% of people commute by car currently. That took 136 years.

'most of the time' for 'most people' is quite a high bar. That's a lot of travel, for about 4 billion people. A few people in Phoenix taking one after a night at the bar doesn't even to begin to scratch that surface.

CVTs (generally) rely on belts sliding on cones. With more weight, you need more torque, with more torque you get more wear on the internal components. This is a big reason why CVTs have historically targeted smaller cars instead of larger trucks.

When it comes to motor reliability, generally speaking a smaller engine with higher compression running closer to its peak output all the time will have more wear than a slightly larger engine that doesn't have to run at as high of pressures and load percentage. Lower RPMs needed for the same power output means less friction on all the components in the motor. There's a lot of variances in that so it is not exactly a given.

These kind of go away with more modern "eCVTs" which don't rely on belts and hybrid systems which can help even out that peak engine load challenge. But still, turbos will generally reduce your reliability. More moving parts, higher pressures, etc. The questions are, will the increased efficiency balance out the reduced reliability and will the motor reliability be the thing that does the car in at the end.

I’m just gonna repeat what I said above:

> These allegations of Hamas violations of international humanitarian laws—even if true—does not devalue the lives of Palestinians, nor does it give Israel an excuse for further violations.

When I said that, I was referring to my parent’s allegations of Hamas’ use of human shields, hiding among civilian populations etc. But this also applies to your accusations of Hamas’ terrorist actions.

But let’s step back and see what you are doing here. You are claiming that because of Hamas’ atrocities, International humanitarian laws does not apply to Israel. However, there is no such clause in International Humanitarian law. It applies to everybody, even if your enemy breaks them.

So basically what you are saying here is that Israel—a state actor—is as bad as Hamas—a terrorist organization. This argumentation does not look good for Israel. That said, Israel is a state actor and should not be held to the same standard as a terrorist organization. We can expect Hamas to continue committing as long as the Palestinian people are treated unjustly. Hamas is a resistance movement, and they will resist. Israel, however, is a state actor, and is bound to international treaties. In the ongoing conflict, they are the oppressors, giving unjust treatment of other peoples. They are fighting to keep oppressing, to prevent justice for Palestinians. And they are bound by international law to not do that.

> They don’t have the dynamic range of colors to capture all the colors our eyes can see

Are you sure about that?

My understanding is that digital cameras can capture an extremely wide color gamut -- the vibrant colors -- but that the extra information is necessarily thrown away when encoded in sRGB or P3 in your image/video file.

Because we don't have many displays which are capable of showing those ultra-saturated colors, so we don't waste bits on storing them in files either. P3 is an obvious improvement over sRGB that Apple products mostly use now.

If you process RAW files directly from the sensor, I'm pretty sure you get a much wider gamut.

What I'm not entirely sure about is how that gamut maps to the colors our eyes can see -- it's not going to be exactly the same coverage. So I'm not sure where it goes beyond human eye sensitivity, or where it doesn't quite reach it, and to what extent this depends on the sensor technology (e.g. what's in your phone vs. an expensive DSLR vs. a professional cinema camera). Ultimately it's going to come down to the exact precise shape of the frequency curve in each of the R, G and B filters in the color filter array, and how they can be mathematically translated to reflect the human eye's [1, 2].

(And so color vibrancy limitations with the Vision Pro are absolutely going to be coming from the displays before they come from the cameras.)
