Whatever happened to the Vision Pro? It seems quite strange for Apple to have flubbed its release so hard and to have also gotten away with it.
It isn’t all garbage, it is a filtering-up process or something. People do things, then the results get summarized and broadcast. IMO our system has too much focus on the summarize and broadcast stage (probably because our communication networks got so good, the people summarizing can draw from the whole planet, resulting in a system that can sustain a very deep tree of summaries-of-summaries).

If AI gets good enough (not certain, for sure), maybe it’ll spur on a race-to-the-bottom for the upper levels of the tree. More focus on doing, rather than summarizing, might be pretty good.
Main gotcha: nobody owns one.
> Corchado won the elections on May 7, after taking advantage of the strange surprise resignation of the previous rector, and presenting himself as the only candidate. He received the support of 6.5% of the 33,000 university members who were called to vote, with half of the faculty voting blank as a sign of protest.

Ran unopposed, elected on 6.5% of the vote.
That's true when you have one implementation of something, and you're lucky enough to have a document that is so detailed that it counts as a specification.

The specification of an ISO-standard language is the main contract, taken seriously by implementors. In areas where implementations happen to conflict with it, you will find that over time they give way to the specification. Implementors add their own bits to their local version of the specification. Beyond that are undocumented behaviors.

Neither the specification nor implementations give way to wishful thinking on the part of the programmers.
Definitely. You can see the lander "breaking" to adjust fall trajectory twice, the actual burst wouldn't be that fast.

Come to Edinburgh and the Lothians, it's not perfect but it's better than you might think.

A couple of important aspects:

Once buses are frequent enough, people don't need to worry about the timetable and will just get the next one. Edinburgh's main arterial routes have frequent enough buses to achieve this, even if not every bus goes to the same ultimate destination. Some of the busier bus lines have frequent enough buses all by themselves.

This does mean that there are lots of empty buses off-peak, this may seam wasteful but it's a necessary component of a functional transit system.

We also have a number of "bus gates", as well as bus lanes, with cameras to prevent other vehicles from using bus-only lanes. This lets buses go through residential areas without making them rat runs for car drivers.

Buses and trams (especially trams!) can take a lot more people than cars. If everyone who gets the bus tried to take a car instead then no-one would get anywhere.

And we also give free bus travel to young people, old people, and anyone with a medical condition that means they can't drive.

A combination of a smartphone and free bus travel gives my disabled daughter a lot more freedom than she'd otherwise be able to enjoy.
I hope you find love.
I think OP is saying that the algorithm is designed in such a way it can match “visually similar” photos/content. The idea is you can’t just rescale, crop or otherwise slightly change a photo as you could if this was just a regular SHA hash of the file. Now they are saying that it might be possible to create an “evil hash” of a document that could match a large percentage of documents, because the hash algorithm obviously doesn’t have enough bits to actually represent the content. So if you have a hash of “white document with some black text” (for example, if looking for image scans of documents) and add this to the db of “watched” hashes, you could in theory hoover up documents.

A quick search didn’t lead me to any proof of concepts about this idea but on the surface (I don’t have any knowledge of the hashing algorithm used in these content filters) it seems like a plausible idea, depending on a lot of factors.

Okay, well I think there's a difference between "They think I'm an idiot because I do this" and "I'd have to be an idiot to do this". And maybe you disagree. But it seems like it resonates with some audience at least. Which suffices for me.

I probably walked in during a transition period because there was a lot of disagreement and infighting. I imagine the extremists won and the more level posters left (as usual)
But even with a mask mandate, a large conference is probably not an acceptable risk for someone in that position. Masks help, but they aren’t a complete solution, especially when folks remove them to eat and take photos.

> are monsters and are some of the craziest, narcissistic, abusive people on the face of the earth

With what might be, I am sure, obvious exceptions, I have reached the personal conclusion that academia, universities, colleges, are cespits of the absolute worst, most treachearous, most cunning worst that human nature has to offer. Far from being a meritocracy, scum "floats" to the top in these environments.-

I am really curious how this fact ties into the - recently discussed here - lack of value that people more and more perceive in college degrees.-
This looks great. I'm thinking adding a fee based printing service for posters would be awesome, or indeed some link up with online print services (global please). Not sure what premium services you're going to offer, but hope it won't dilute a solid free plan option.
Usually, a longer exhale is more relaxing - look up rectangle breathing. Also worth having a go at 'cyclic sighing'.
It's OK, when many folks say "venture capitalists" they always utter it in a voice dripping with contempt as well (I certainly do).

"Lifestyle business" is what EVERYONE did back in the day before mega corporations. I come from a long line of shoemakers, tailors, and various artisans. All "lifestyle businesses". I expressed interest in following in their footsteps but my parents had sent me to college and always laughed at the idea of me taking up the family business. They had always felt it was too much of a hard life and as is typical for immigrants "wanted better for me". Ironically, artisanal work is now highly valued and I probably would be making far more money now (and have unbreakable job security) if I had somehow convinced my parents to apprentice me.

I suppose the closest thing to a lifestyle business in tech would be freelance consultants. It's more of a thing for certain people who typically have already spent a career in mega corps or VC-driven start-ups. I can't think of many people who have STARTED as freelancers-- other than some small number of academics.

Azure, AWS, GCP, DO as you noted all have viable alternatives, from IaaS to PaaS to SaaS.

Why run a web server when you can run an Azure Web Site? Why distribute servers around the world to serve as CDNs at POPs when you can put Cloudflare, Azure Front door, etc. etc. in front of it on the cheap?

Anyway, these small machines don't have a place in the modern server room. They don't fit in racks, they lack management features, expandability, replacement parts, warranty, and so on and so forth.

There is more to a server than "CPU goes faster". If a hypothetical server had the fastest CPU available but only provided a single NVMe interface (like many of these small PCs do), it'd be a poor candidate for a critical RDMBS, for example.
No it's not. It's common to cite relevant papers from your collaborators (you are working on the same topic, after all). But it's an aberration to create a semi-formal system where you force your underlings to cite your papers in completely different fields.
There is an element of longevity and forethought to being a good CEO, that I don’t see AI being focused on. Beyond the lack of actual human cognition, no accountability, and prospect for compromise/poisoning, an AI that emulates a good CEO would need to make judgement calls that generative AI and LLMs just aren’t designed for.

Businesses that endure are comfortable saying no to deals/business/revenue sometimes, or making decisions that result in short term losses for long term gains. Choices that may contradict what the data right now would tell you to do. The prototypical ideal of an entrepreneur often includes some amount of “taking it on faith” — being comfortable taking a leap when you need to. That is not something an AI can do.

Many people seem to want AI to replace executives but every time I hear reasons why, those reasons are all centered on executives doing their job either poorly or for making unpopular decisions, often both. Of course this is common; it’s effectively a trope at this point.

I am not sure we should sacrifice human leadership of business because some leaders are bad. We should instead focus on variously being, fostering, or advocating for better leaders.
I think they've raised just over $5B, consisting of $1B from everyone other than amazon (750m at [1] and 450m at [2]) and then $4B from amazon[3]. The reason I seperate them is I think a lot of the $4B from amazon is in the form of AWS credits rather than cash.

Title a play on Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower?[0]

Other cultures don't use sofas, and I'm curious if they were originally a thing for royalty (like flat green lawns and white bread and so many other "luxuries" we royal Americans went in for), and I would vote for leaving ours (IKEA, so not the worst in terms of PFAS coating and other toxins, but also not great) with the house when/if we move, and sitting on the floor again, which my spouse and I did early on, influenced by our time in Japan (and our relative lack of money).

I appreciate this article about valuing local repair shops. I did the same with a pair of boots, and will continue to pay for such service, not least because I like getting to know craftsmen.

I could make the (true) argument that while this almost (their descendants are still around) happened, all of humanity was not extinguished.

But it's an interesting point. While the world never ends, entire peoples and nations do get extinguished with some regularity, and having people around who always look for ways this can happen could serve a credible evolutionary purpose, even though they're almost always wrong.

Calling this a lifestyle business seems off. I'd wager for most, these are livelihood businesses; lifestyle sounds more of an affectation. Or, more simply, these are small businesses, full stop. We have a working term for these and many political forces claim to be about the. Then again, many or most political forces accomplish much less than they propose.
With perhaps the exclusion of the Amtrak northeast corridor/Acela and a couple of the US subway systems (e.g.NYC) most of the train projects in the us seem like they were designed to as an example inferior alternative to driving. There are so many comically bad examples: the air train to EWR, JFK require multiple transfers and are slower than driving at all but the most severe traffic conditions. The Houston light rail that doesn’t really go anywhere convenient, and is in the street going slower than the cars around it (stopping at traffic lights as well).

It seems as if most of the rail networks in the us are built to serve people with no other alternative as opposed to providing a better alternative to driving. Speaking of airport connections it blows my mind that US cities haven’t built trains like the Heathrow express.

I did read the original post in Chinese, though not this post in English. Unfortunately beyond the claim "search engines show up zero results" the other claims like 99.99% pages disappearing doesn't fully match my experience. I have lots of threads between 2000~2010 on Baidu Tieba (Chinese Reddit), and most of these threads representative of my memories from that decade are alive (I can even access them anonymously). The earliest video on bilibili.com still available is av7 (7th video since its creation). While some websites like RenRen did disappear together with its history, most websites that remain relevant didn't delete its history in its entirety (lots of content did disappear because of modern moderation applied retroactively to old content, but that's case by case).
Strong claim! Can you elaborate?

Also, the SBAC test administered in California, Washington, and many others is now adaptive, but still schools are measured based on point-in-time aggregates.
In a poorly run academic insitutiin, this is commonplace. In an art school I worked at, all student work was required to credit the head of the school and their spouse (who also worked at the school).
My experience is the opposite. The harder it becomes to visit a locale, the less likely I become to visit it. Eventually I decide it's not worth visiting at all.

I agree gaming the system is always a temptation with accountability systems.

I’m not sure it would work like how you are proposing, since purposely stunting a student would penalize the school exactly as much as they would “gain” as the student catches back up.

I've spent 15 years in academia and 10 in industry. Academia isn't worse on a per capita basis. Leaders' flaws are rawer, mainly because hardly anyone gets leadership training. And they often have more severe consequences, especially for grad students who are put in a subordinate, dependent position for an extended period of time. But IME you're at least equally likely to find psychopaths at the top of businesses.
So, how would one find these friends by removing one of the few situations where a diverse group of people are being forced to interact with one another?

CEOs are freaking out just trying to figure out how to attract and retain workers. Outside of Silly Valley this is the key issue. Well, that and chasing fads while trying to maintain business as usual while baby boomers retire. I listen to the CEO and read between the lines to decide what I should be doing in the company, including moving on. If I don't have confidence in their ability to negotiate the problems we are facing I just move on.

So far, most of the ramblings I have heard from CEOs sound like they have been reading too many articles. In other words, clueless.

I wish to fuck they would start chatting with AI more.

So many complaints about Gen Z, it is ridiculous. Gen X taught them not to invest themselves in the company too much. So we sit in the audience and just nod as they bitch about our kids wanting "a million dollars for nothing."

Most of these CEOs just need to retire, now.

That’s just not how technical discussions work. Not everyone knows what you know and the point of this community is to share knowledge not gatekeep it behind some “discovering it yourself” bullshit. The fastest thing to do is not dismissing it with no explanation but rather explaining for all the readers why that is the case. Because if one person doesn’t know I can guarantee that there’s plenty out there who are just as interested to know. And it’s a waste of everyone’s time to have each person independently come to the same conclusion when it’s apparently easily explainable.

You’re free to not do any of that, of course, but be prepared to defend the fact that you’d prefer not engaging in discussion and instead just shallowly dismiss something.

On the chance I'm not missing a pun/sarcasm: hybrid language, translanguaging, and Nuyorico are all also existing linguistics terms in academia the same as creole and pidgin. Comparisons are helpful though so a hybrid language is different than a creole/pidgin in that it skips the pidgin stage and the speakers know both languages rather than it being a new primary language grown out of a pidgin as seen in a creole.

For a news piece rather than an academic journal I thought the author did alright.
