I know I'm a bit sensitive to this type of thing, going to the theater is such a roll of the dice:

- Will I set in front of someone kicking my chair?
- Will I sit next to someone eating candy from a crinkly bag for half the movie?
- Will I sit behind someone on their phone the whole time?
- Will I sit next to someone talking most of the time?

I go to about two movies a year because of this, but I would easily go 5, maybe even 10 times as often if there was a way these issues could be addressed.
I've totalled two vehicles twice each.

I am guessing they will be compelled to do so. Signal said they will pull out of the EU.
Iran is a signatory but not (yet) a party to the Rome Statute, and as such the ICC does not have jurisdiction in Iran unless explicitly given by Iran (similar to what Ukraine did following the Russian invasion). Palestine is a member, so crimes against humanity committed in the occupied territories are under the jurisdiction of the ICC.

Don’t get me wrong. The Iranian government absolutely should go straight to the Hague for their crimes against the Iranian people. But this whataboutism does not dissolve the crimes of others.
>And then some sociologist somewhere wonders why trust in governments is plummeting around the world.

Actually, I think it's the other way around. It was the same in Communist ruled Romania. In the 1960's, the times were quite good. Good economy, good freedom, little government oppression since the average folk had it quite good and little reason to revolt despite the totalitarian regime. But as the economy started to go downhill, and quality of live kept decreasing as shortages for food and essentials increased, the government oppression increased with it.

Basically, the way I see it, the more unhappy the citizens get due to erosions in their quality of life and the obvious increase in wealth inequality in the last decades, mostly driven due to unaffordability of homes, then the more driven towards oppression and surveillance the governments get as they fear the potential backlash from the citizens and don't want to get "Ceausescud"[1]. In other words, better to preemptively stop a revolution before it happens, hence the increase in surveillance.

This sounds like a great feature. I want my kid to be able to reach me in an emergency, but I want there to be zero distractions during the school day. Hopefully Apple implements this on Apple Watches that use Family Setup.
Tesla is overvalued, but it's one stock. The AI stuff is pretty widespread and getting shoved into use cases where it may not make much economic sense. It could be like the .com bubble - where there's real market opportunity there, but some of the early ideas are too optimistic and can't be run profitably.

We'll see I guess.
Agreed. I think that's why all the other ingredients, you don't taste the coffee.
Some people feel safer asking the LLM dumb questions, at least I do because of social pressure, but answers could be bullshit. I am retired but I could imagine that I only would proceed if I either had good enough references backing the LLM's answer or if I decided that my question is not so dumb after all and took the plunge to ask a human.

This seems to indicate that AI could relieve managers from answering dumb questions at least partially.
I don’t recall what the 2012 Canada protests were. Guessing OWS? OWS and the vaccine passport protestors have one thing in common - they challenge the ruling class.

I wonder why the ruling class hasn’t opposed social mousetrap identity politics protests.
Maybe the billion dollar corporation could consider paying a real wage to entice workers to stay?

Just a thought.
A "parchment guarantee", as Scalia would say.
>Every day in the United States, a large number of cars are being produced. Most of these cars never get sold to customers because people just can’t afford them. The car manufacturing industry can’t stop producing new automobiles because they would have to close their factories and lay off thousands of their workers.

That is an obvious lie. It is obviously more expensive to produce and scrap a car than to not produce one at all. What you do if demand is low is you produce less. It is economically more viable to pay workers for standing around than to pay them to build and scrap a car. So the excuse about jobs is another lie.

>Want to see for yourself? Do a quick search on Google Maps of Baltimore, Maryland, looking south of Broening Hwy in Dundalk, there you will see a massive expanse of space where many unsold cars are currently parked.

Which is evidence of what exactly? That cars exist that aren't sold? Surely that is no surprise.
Yes, for whatever reason, the display industry has standardized on specifying rise+fall.
Most of them. Car manufacturers aren't too greatly in vertical integration. One could argue that having a car rental agency for manufacturer would be great idea. Get cars at cost, rent them short to medium term, keep maintenance inhouse sell them after some period for most of the price.

But I don't think there is any manufacturers that rent vehicles for short term and neither there are any rental firms that manufacture their cars...

In the end making things and renting them is different businesses.

There's a husband and wife team of optical scientists who have been studying myopia and theorize that high contrast across the retina signals the eye to elongate which leads to myopia. "Their big breakthrough in understanding myopia occurred in 2008 when they studied a particular group of people who had a genetic form of myopia that’s very severe. They discovered a gene mutation that was causing the myopia." As a result, they patented glasses that blur your peripheral vision, and a trial has shown them to be more than 50% effective at reducing myopia.

It makes me think a litte bit of automobile companies where Tesla's market cap is somehow bigger than Mercedes, Stellantis (Fiat, Dodge, Citroën, Alfa Romeo, Jeep, Opel, Peugeot, Ram, Maserati, Chrysler etc.), Porsche-Volkswagen (Audi, Bugatti, Lamborghini, Saab, Bentley, Porsche, VW, Škoda, Seat, Ducati, and a bunch of truck companies), BMW (Mini, Rolls-Royce), BYD, Honda and Ford ...combined.
I don’t know why you default to being hostile.

I’m just stating that they’re intermixing it and that can play into whether it is fair use. I’m not saying that I personally am confused. I’m just saying that intermixing it may give people the wrong assumption if they’re not familiar with these films. Remember, the matrix came out 25 years ago. There’s many people who will likely never see it but will be working in film/cinema etc and use this.

I’m not ascribing malice either, just that it’s good form in the industry to delineate clearly.

Maybe take it down a few notches or step away from the keyboard.

NVDA is ~6% of the S&P depending on the day, so when it corrects we'll likely see a down day, but I'm not sure it has the ability to really spread contagion. Given that such a large percentage of NVDAs revenue comes from a few big providers, the first question would be are they doing poorly or have the simply capped on GPU need for a myriad of reasons.
As a building science scholar, I do not recommend skylights or solar tunnels, as they increase the likelihood of roof leaks in the future (as any roof penetration does). Also impairs thermal management due to lack of insulation between the conditioned space and the exterior.

I installed a Velux skylight on one of my previous remodels (replacing an existing low quality skylight), and I still regret it versus decking over the void and deleting the tunnel.
Is it just me or does the marketing seem to disagree with itself a bit?

On the one hand it is talking about how until the iPhone 15 Pro one of the issues is that you were stuck with whatever version of the video your iPhone decided to record, but then it is talking about how this recording app is not just recording straight log and doing its own magic? What am I missing here, arn't they doing the exact thing that they were saying was bad in the first place?

Related to that, they seem to talk about LUT's but if with this we are saying that we can use these prebaked LUT's what exactly does that get me over using prebaked LUT's in my video editor?

I am curious how this compares to BlackMagic Camera.

Also curious how this will standup when Final Cut Pro Camera launches later this year (but that is obviously only valuable if you use FCP).

For $10, I may download it and give it a shot. But I am not fully sure I am seeing the value proposition here and I feel like there has to be something I am really missing here. If it isnt targeting the pro market as some commenters are saying, then what is the point of this over the built in camera app?

For context, I do my recording on an iPhone 15 pro max so maybe this isnt targeted at me?
Any one attempting long exposure is not trying to do it in a tracking sense. They are doing it for a static shot. It is a deliberate decision to leave the shutter open. If they are doing that in the day time to add "motion" to the image by having the blurring, it is a deliberate decision. You attempting to take a static picture in low lighting conditions where the camera's auto settings are dragging the shutter and unable to take a proper picture because you can't hold it still long enough for that shutter is not the same thing. At all.

I like your "reducing the ambient" to really let me know you have no clue what I'm referring to, but that's okay. this whole thread is just wasted energy
Because "random human-language notes" are conceptually different from source code for me.
I agree that some kids would like this, but in my family we wouldn't give our kids smartwatches at that age (6-8?). I don't think this will hit with tweens/teens, both because of the UI and because Apple Watches will be perceived as more prestigious/elite (not endorsing the feeling — just saying that will likely be the impression).
Would you mind answering my question if you know?

The point is both countries have been infiltrated by western powers who support either tyrannical religious zealots or liberal causes whenever it suits their political interests which results in societies that tear themselves apart. And the societies tearing themselves apart is the feature not the bug.
CUDA and their associated toolkits is their moat. Whether or not one or more of the remaining manufacturers can deliver a compelling substitute for those workloads remains to be seen but OpenCL is far in the rear view at this point and ROCm hasn’t made a difference yet.
The interpreter is free software. The model is freeware distributed as a binary blob. Code vs. Data is a matter of perspective, but with large neural nets, more than anywhere, it makes no sense to pretend they're plain data. All the computational complexity is in the weights, they're very much code compiled for an unusual architecture (the inference engine).
AI demand doesn't look like it's going anywhere in the next year, and their revenue is at least in the ballpark (26b vs 90b for apple). That said, price is usually dictated by the delta in growth. I think it's unrealistic to expect another 262% YoY growth over the next 12 months for Nvidia, especially with a lot of their upper-limit being determined by TSMC's capacity. In addition, there are significant pushes in motion to get processing on-device, both for security reasons and price reasons. I can't see these earnings being sustainable for nvidia over the long run.
I also find that it's a nice exercise on the way to learning a new language. I spend a lot of time in Clojure, so I'll ask and answer "okay where are the lambda-like things, how do I apply them over collections" and then write up something I know is not at all what the language designer intended for kicks.

As an added bonus, it is fun to show your work to a coworker proficient in the target language and watch the blood drain from their face.

It is an interesting idea, although limited (as noted in the paper) by the small sample and various confounding variables. They did mention:

> A FORTRAN programmer who has successfully designed a payroll system
may not see any value in the ability to combine numeric and alphabetic information into a single data structure.

A confounding factor they forgot to note—a possible confounding variable here is that, while the first language might influence the programmer, there could also be come correlation between language picked and potential… which is to say FORTRAN programmers are just smarter than everybody else (also, better looking, so we’ll have to make sure the judges of the programming styles don’t end up falling for them).

The only data structure you need is a big block of numbers. How could your data get more structured than that? Also don’t believe the charlatans who say Fortran has OO capabilities now, they are just trying to pull you from the true path. What do you want, a graph, a linked list? Nodes are what your code runs on!
I don't think a crash is coming. Nvidia actually has revenue growth. PE ratio is a very ordinary mid-60s after the Q2 earnings call.

Even if the AI hype cycle dies, computing power has and continues to be the oil of the digital age.

Growth may slow, but I wouldn't go shorting this company.
I'm also a senior dev. I deleted my LinkedIn account years ago because the amount of recruiter and other spam I got through it was too much for me.

I depends on what "win" would've meant. South Vietnam was the creation of the US. It didn't really have any popular support, it was dictatorship, massively and systematically corrupt, and existed because of US aid.

It's doubtful that the US could've continued to keep troops in Vietnam.

By the time (1973) the Paris Peace Accords happened, there was little US domestic support in the public, in business leaders, or in Congress. US troops hadn't done any major offensives for years, in order to keep casualties low.

By 1970, within the US Army in Vietnam, there was an level of mutiny, with entire units refusing to go on missions, officers and NCOs getting fragged (murdered) if they sent troops on missions felt to be too dangerous or pointless. The US strategy was one of attrition, and they simply couldn't continue. The Vietnamese were going to kick the foreigners out and re-unite the country, no matter how long it took.

For the whole war, the NVA / Viet Cong - largely held the initiative - around 85% of the time from '65 to '68' and then around 75% afterwards, they could choose when, and if to engage US troops and thus control their casualties to a certain extent. Once engaged, the US could bring massive firepower, but it required grunts as bait to go searching for ambushes, in addition to the constant threat of mines and booby-traps.
Nothing is going to displace CUDA in the short term. ROCm is a piece of garbage. Intel is miles behind.

But the app did create a video file that has audio backed in at 2x the speed. So halfway true the video the audio stops already.

We use Odoo and love it. It would take moving mountains to get us off of it (short of predatory sales/pricing/licensing shenanigans anyway). It is fantastic and truly one of my favorite pieces of software. But man, does Odoo have a convoluted ecosystem. There’s no one place to learn about the product and if you self-host then the documentation might as well not exist for the small number of aggravatingly undocumented adjustments you might need to implement to get it working. They have weird and officially undocumented design decisions that can end up wasting a lot of your time if you don’t have the benefit of having read sometimes years-old public Github issues.

It’s not just self-hosting either. Their documentation covers the basics of key modules, and their video training material is great for functional insight. But it’s clear they don’t have anyone who is able or willing to effectively foster a coherent product-wide strategy around documentation, training, and similar enablement must-haves. Ironically, I think the fact that they run so much of their infrastructure on Odoo itself is part of the problem in terms of implementing a better strategy. If you buy an EMR, you won’t use it for HR just because it’s geared toward managing data relating to humans.
More specifically, page load time was 2.7 seconds without adblocker, decreased to 2.1 with uBlock Origin, but increased by 250% to 6.6 seconds with AdFlush, or increased to 3.4 seconds with AdFlush retaining prior predictions.

Subscription fatigue is very real today, but to your point, as a business you can't provide eternal updates (work) for free.

In the old days, you'd buy a new version of Mac or Windows or any software that you run on it (Office, Parallels, etc.) when you wanted the new features each year.

I think Apple's App Store has a lot to do with why everything is now subscription-based. They used to offer developers a smaller Apple-commission (15%) for subscription sales instead of the typical 30% for in-app purchase sales and paid-apps.

This was great for businesses, but in my opinion, only service businesses should be subscriptions - this transition would help reduce subscription fatigue. Normal software should mostly go back to just issuing new versions each year (or whatever frequency), so that consumers re-frame the purchase cycle to something that feels more reasonable again.

In order for this to occur, however, Apple may need to adjust the App Store algorithms. If you were to launch a new app (ex. "Kino v6"), you'd start all over again from day 1 with 0 app ratings and reviews, and not rank well on any keywords nor in the top apps charts.

Some apps simply rename their app with each new version, but that introduces similar complexities, especially for users who already paid & downloaded the previous "version". So in a big way, the App Store de-incentivizes any kind of transition away from a subscription-based business model.

The "new versions" business model vs. subscription may be similar cost to consumer (it wouldn't support monthly users), but it would allow consumers to only update when their ready and could continue using an old app version (especially on older devices) as long as they'd like. If a customer really likes the software, they'd likely buy the new version to access new features & device support before too long anyhow
