AAA gaming is THE driving factor for getting Vulkan on Asahi. There really are only a tiny subset of games that require a kernel anti cheat. Let alone the wealth of single player games.
Sounds really interesting, and resources on that?

Sounds like the other size of timing leaks that cryptographers are so worried about
I also have Crohn's, been on anti-TNF and doing well for the past 12 years.

I think it's absolutely universally accepted that stress is a major factor in autoimmune and inflammatory disease. Reducing stress by working on mental health definitely has the potential to reduce inflammation levels in some people to the point where you need no medication.

But like everything it's not a silver bullet.

Another weird/fascinating factor for me at least is that less convenient access to a toilet seems to correlate with less symptoms. When I'm hiking in the mountains I never seem to have a high frequency of needing to take a dump. I've often wondered if there is something of an explanation there for the rise in rate of Crohn's diagnosis in countries as they develop.
I've been in several places where this leads to a death spiral of "comfortable" employees doing a lot less (or rather, the bare minimum) and the people that compensate for it leaving after 1-2 years of this supposed social capital of being the go-to person (and sometimes the only competent person / person who cares around) killing all joy they had for the job. They were the (large) IT department of a (large) retailer though, and they tend to have meh hiring standards to begin with.

One day my boss "forgot" to bring up a very small raise I had negotiated with the CEO (who signed off on all raises personally), failed to see any urgency in fixing the situation to restore trust and gambled on me being one of those people that don't find another job. He seemed very surprised to be wrong.

My raise from switching jobs was about 50% - and I got to work with people who hadn't given up on improving things half a decade ago.
Less assertive, less ambitious, less risk taking, less confident.

More passive, more avoidant, low confidence.

Depression undermines basically everything that helps initiate complete a negotiation. This is on top of any impact to actual work product.
Seems very abstract still. Not a single mathematical formula.

It is a good overview over the ideas, but from glancing through the document I don't feel there's anything in there that Jeff Hawkins hasn't publicly talked about before.

I'd be interested how the actual implementation looks like, in particular Jeff talked about how they're using insights from neuroscience like dendritic computation. No details on that at all, again.

Am I missing something, or what do they mean with 'open sourcing'? Is there any code or so they've published?
> They are not reasoning or thinking in any sense of the word

There is no definition of reasoning or thinking. No single human knows what it is.

The only thing we know is: we as humans are capable of recognizing steps and results of reasoning and thinking.

In a lot of cases, when using LLM's, those results appear to be correct and usable. This is often easy to determine with generated code.

I want to argue that, lacking a definition of reasoning, I am happy to have found that the machine helps me to get results that might as well have been produced by a lot of human knowledge, wisdom and deep reasoning.
I've thought about trying to support something along the lines of Django Templates -> WASM, but the one interesting thing that Blazor does is it also renders the templates on the back-end for those who don't necessarily want to render it on the browser. I think you'd have to consider some sort of templating language, that intermixes nicely with Python. If I remember correctly, Mako was a templating library I used for a project ages back, they focused on letting you for the most part just use standard python for the scripting side of the template engine.

So if I had the time and energy, I'd spend my time looking at something like Mako, maybe even forking it, and making it minimal enough to build into WASM. I assume you mainly want to shove a templating library into WASM and not too much more. The rest you could offload to a smaller JS library your WASM can interface through.

I could be talking off my other end, but this is all spit balling from various things I've read, I'm by no means a total expert.
Ive heard a similar idea, from Hemingway.
"Learned never to empty the well of my writing, but always to stop when there was still something there in the deep part of the well, and let it refill at night from the springs that fed it. I always worked until I had something done, and I always stopped when I knew what was going to happen next. That way I could be sure of going on the next day." — Ernest Hemmingway"

I really agree, and I also thinks it can be helpful to do something similar when taking breaks (have lunch/take a walk while leaving a failing test).
> I think the people calling it a scam are the same group that just complains about anything. The author drawing an equivalence between prolog and LLMs is a lot of evidence in favor of this sort of bullshit, I just have a really low tolerance for this kind of argument and person.

Thanks! I`m not a huge fan of people like you too.
I'm curious about this, sometimes also when one ear suddenly sounds different for a short time.
> But more saliently, I think it's absurd to think our brains, or brains in general, do polynomial curve fitting in any meaningful sense.

Why would an AI need to use the same mechanisms as a human to think? Most machines we create are quite different in character from their natural counterparts (what bird has a propeller?)

Again: AGI won't happen.
Would you have tolerated that if you getting paid 1.5 or 2x instead of 0.6x? Maybe you wouldn't, but on average many would be ok with that environment for higher pay.
One interesting data point is that places that pay higher than the market on average have much higher rate of retention as well. Barring some egregious conditions, many will tolerate an non-ideal environment for better than market pay.

Do you cite a definition for every word you use? Of course not. I am using the definition as defined by Webster and every other source I can find.

I am using it the same way that the pieces I referenced, were also considered propaganda.

I am using the excepted actual definition of Propaganda and there is zero reason to expect I need to define otherwise. That is just not a normal expectation when communicating. You having your own definition that does not follow the accepted definitions of the word with examples, is not my problem.

You also didn't answer my question about rosy the riveter which if we would consider that propaganda (which it is considered propaganda) I would consider the billboards propaganda.
As someone who dabbles in creating fiction as a pasttime, it's revolutionary. I can use AI to come up with details for minutiae that I don't have the time nor energy to conceptualize. There's just too many things that are in my head and not enough capabilities to realize them in a pre-AI world. The AI outputs are garbage as-is, but what they come up with already does 80% of the work done. I can do the rest to make it completely fit my needs.
Where do you get these ideas?

Yes, Filipinos did vote for a territorial government as laid out in the Philippine Organic Act of 1902.

Yes, Puerto Ricans vote. It's a territory. They have their own devolved government.
>That looks like it'll either be much lower resolution than Google's timeline (manual or 15 minute checks) or will consume a lot more battery life than I'd be happy with (due to relying on GPS, turning it on for a location fix every minute).

How does Google timeline achieve higher resolution with lower power consumption? Does it rely on special APIs or databases that other apps don't have access to?
Are you suggesting that there will be some future, more efficient architecture of machine learning that'll not be able to make use of extra compute at all (or at least have greatly diminishing returns while doing so)?

Otherwise, I don't see why it wouldn't make sense to continue grabbing as many GPUs as feasible for the foreseeable future, at least until LLMs and other GenAI models have been determined to have plateaued without much doubt.

I'm pretty sure that at least in the states, game dev jobs pay somewhat mediocre. Looking at Rockstar and Activision's job posting, even for senior level stuff they're paying considerably less than some of the more unsexy senior engineering jobs.

As I said, I've never worked game dev, but people who have here told me that they are pretty brutal, expecting you to work a lot of extra unpaid hours. It would not surprise me if Sweden has better labor protections in this regard.
Like, are flyers for a protest "propaganda"? Is grafitti propaganda?

They easily can be. Same with opinion broadcasting. It's not a matter of some strict definition, just whether you prefer a negative connotation with "propaganda" and how you feel about the thing being propagandized given that the negative connotation is the most common English usage.
Lest anyone dismiss parasocial relationships as just the domain of anime waifu pillows, I'd point out that it also covers:

> I know Elon says Multiplanetary this and Mars that but the real reason for the Starship push is Starlink.

Elon Musk has been talking about Mars colonization since 2001, and first brought up the idea of a "Mars Colonial Transporter" mega-rocket in 2012. Starlink did not come along until 2016; that business was created to provide a profit-generating customer for Starship.
By crush do you mean it will become sentient and sequester the carbon in the bodies of their meaty workers by killing them all?
A key is any set of unique columns. The primary in primary key just hints to the RDBMS how to store the data. Both URLs encode queries on the data. The first says "give me the 2023 review(s) of McDonald's in Berlin" (i.e., it has semantics) and the second "give me the row with uuid 1kjksdhh3244ygdvvgdd2345". I don't think the second URL is more robust because, for example, if the row has to be recreated it will fail to work.
So it will allow you to create your own scripts!

Regarding its “learning” - it is still a model that needs data. The best you can expect is it will take actual UI sessions (as in users interacting with the website) for specific tasks to build its scripts, and as with any current “large” model it’s not going to update in realtime based on user input alone.
Don't need a survey for that. Just go to the nearest supermarket, stand near the cash register, and count how many people buy plastic bags, and divide by how many bring their own multiple-use bag. You will get the true picture, which I suspect is 10:1 in favor of single-use plastics.
What do you mean? I guess most engines support Vulkan but that's not the point of the article, but you might be referring to something else.
It can go on longer than many of us can afford to keep shorting it.
One of my professors would always leave his pc set to the last move of klondike so he would return to work every day with a "win"
Yeah but IMO most people learn 90% the stack in a year, smart people usually get bored after two years. I say that as someone who’s been at the same job for 12 years now. I never met a dev who worked at the same place for more than 4 years that was actually worth the money.
if it was trained on a sufficient amount of fan art made in the studio Ghibli style and tagged as such, yes.

otherwise those would just be unknown words, same as asking an artist to do that without any examples.

though I am curious how performance would differ between training on only actual studio Ghibli art, only fan art, or a mix. Maybe the fan art could convey what we expect 'studio Ghibli style' to be even more, whereas actual art from them could have other similarities that that tag conveys.
There’s plenty of problems in rust once you leave the happy path. For example, how do you specify a default set of feature flags based on the target? Turns out you can’t actually - you can change the flags via build.rs but unlike normal feature flags they’ll only apply to the current crate (ie it doesn’t enable anything that your feature would when enabled on the command line because the latter applies to resolution but build.rs happens later when resolution is fixed). Similarly, doing this stuff via conditionals in cargo.toml can do certain things but not others.
For that, you'll probably want the model specifically designed for Generative AI, since it can handle 40 TOPS instead of just 13
I think one thing that disability highlights, is tolerance. Some people find other job perks attractive, like stability, hours, access...

For me having a shit boss, or a company who is crappy in a million other ways isnt a big deal. I can be flexible, in where and when and how in a way others cant.

IF having a good boss or sane hours matter to you, changing jobs is a risk.
Bank of Canada cuts rates for first time in four years
You have it backwards. In remote areas, it can get lonely and hard to find a partner. Think about people who's only social interaction for the most part is coworkers. Moving to where other people are increases your chances of finding others you click with.
What about Arthiris? There's some link between UC and RA. I get both flare up at the same time, and I use the same medication (Azathioprine) to keep both in remission.
AI Technology may first replace Forbes writers. Dr. Son Nguyen is a "guest" writer, on the Forbes Technology Council.

The author indicates that people can innovate "by harnessing" it.

OTOH, AI was created without AI.

As for cost, CA is testing the power grid today with an early heat wave. If I had to choose between AI and A/C .... well ....

> My ultimate worry is that Nvidia ... could pull the whole of the Nasdaq down when it blows

It's already happened the other way.

50% of all S&P 500 growth comes from just 5-companies (Nvidia).

Or said differently, 495-companies can only match what just 5-companies contributed (which Nvidia is 1 of those 5).

Can you clarify on the "invasive examination of your finances"?

In my experience, when you apply on healthcare.gov, you simply enter your estimated income for the year you're applying - that's it, and you get the subsidy. Then when you file your taxes for that year, you either get more subsidy as a credit, or pay some back depending on whether you came in above or below the estimate you provided on the application.

I remember how happy I was, as a 17 or 18 year old geek, when I saw AOL collapse under its own executive hubris after the com crash. Our family had already switched from the $25 a month AOL to a cheaper $9.95 dial up service a couple years before the s** really hit the fan for the company.

Now I'm hoping I'll get to see the executives kill Google!

I already stopped using Google search 5 years ago in favor of duck duck Go, falling back on Google only when absolutely necessary. In those five years I've seen Google's search decline, until they are no better than duck duck Go - and potentially worse!

Now we have effective ai assisted knowledge synthesis in the form of gpt4 and similar systems. But Google completely messed up their own AI search rollout, because they used a cheap GPT 3.5 level system.

I love to see it, because Im actually happy with ddg and llm assisted search and knowledge synthesis workflows. Crash and burn, ABC.
I'm encouraged, at least, that someone is looking at outputs instead of inputs.

The usual playbook:

Issue press release announcing new Federal support for X (in this case, charging stations).

Move on.

Repeat as necessary.
Only because you've chosen a certain definition of stability. For most people, I'd bet leaving a job voluntarily for a new opportunity yields a higher sense of stability than enduring getting laid off, having your teammates get laid off, or having your org structure drastically change.
I fail to see how the argument is ridiculous; and I'll bet that a jury would find the idea that "there is a copy inside" at least reasonable, especially if you start with the premise that "the machine is not a human being."

What you're left with is a machine that produces "things that strongly resemble the original, that would not have been produced, had you not fed the original into the machine."

The fact that there's no "exact copy inside" the machine seems a lot like splitting hairs; like saying "Well, there's no paper inside the hard drive so the essence of what is copyable in a book can't be in it"
I can't trust a plastics poll that doesn't also ask who wants the old straws back.
Huh. I would have the exact same response to your questioning my work ethic and competence based on tenure. Definitely a yellow flag that a company could have a toxic busywork culture and doesn’t value experience.

I am coming up on 10 years and I frequently help my newer peers avoid pitfalls we fell into previously. Historical context is useful. That doesn’t mean I live there.
tbf, I did this comparison with Prolog thinking more about the generated text bt LLM models than the tech behind it. My fault. But, I still think that rabbit r1 it's a SCAM in the sense that is misleading the users.
This is really cool - I love Python UIs. This seems very similar to streamlit.

But the demos aren't very pretty :(

I feel like being able to build something beautiful should be a requirement for any tool to build UIs. People like me who care about the looks aren't afraid to dig into CSS as long as you make it feasible (cough streamlit cough).
I wonder how widespread the damage to the app's reputation is after this. I've had multiple conversations with people about this today and everyone is moving to alternatives.

As you said, I don't think knowing that Applause (applause.dev) is the acquiring company helps much considering they have no track record of anything as far as I can see, but having a full day of radio silence must have done some considerable damage.

I would rather own one Nvidia.

The five most valuable companies in the world are, in order: Microsoft, Nvidia, Apple, Alphabet and Amazon. All very tied to software, or the hardware which software runs on. Walmart is worth less than Facebook, Broadcom and TSMC.

If the past few decades have taught us anything, it is that software is a very good business to be in. Microsoft is the most valuable company in the world for a reason.

> Really just drives home how big of a mistake it was ignoring Vulkan for the past decade on Apple's behalf, but lord knows they won't admit that until it's too late.

People who keep saying this have surprisingly short/bad memories. And very little idea of the state of the industry.

- Apple already shipped Metal version 1 a full year before Vulkan was even an idea. iPhone, one of the largest casual gaming platforms in the world, is Metal

- Windows and Xbox is DirectX

- Playstation is their own thing (keep forgetting what it's called)

That leaves Android (mostly underpowered and fractured to even run games properly) and Switch who really support Vulkan.

It's pretty obvious to me that asthma and colitis ulcerosa are stress-related. I had asthma for as long as I remember. I'm allergic to pollen and dust, but one of the triggers is high stress situations as well.

I started having symptoms of colitis ulcerosa when I was 18 and had final high school exams. I was under tons of stress. I started to care much less about such things and had years-long remission. There were only 2 other flare-ups - when I was passing driving licence test, and when I had the first big series of exams at university.

Basically every time I drove myself very hard I had another episode. And it's not fun to suddenly shit yourself in public transport let me tell you :/

It's been over 20 years since last time I had colitis ulcerosa flare-up. But, in the meantime I was also diagnosed with autoimmune liver disease (PSC), and I'm not sure this one is stress-related. It seems to me it just ticks away at my liver and even very relaxed lifestyle doesn't help. I'm very hopeful about new drugs for this, as the only alternative seems to be to wait for inevitable liver transplant later in life.
Fair point - that cycle took FOREVER. I remember when their marketing slides starting doing comparisons between their unreleased future products and current (and sometimes about to be replaced) competitor products.
They are saying that those CSAM fell outside of the scope of the report not that it was considered legal speech. Its awkwardly worded.

If you read further they say:

"As many as 150,000 people have died...Another nine million have been forced from their homes." Where are the protests on US college campuses? I guess this doesn't matter, because they can't blame it on Jews.
Because they're both measured in terms of money, and humans tend to ignore time-derivatives. (The latter point is also why so many mix up energy and power).
I specifically made sure not to claim that "tech is not political", because that would be wrong.

The issue is that "X used fake accounts to push political agenda on social media" might be interesting political news, but it's incredibly boring technical news.

Everyone knows that this is possible, and the only novel information here is political.

I'd say that if you posted news which are interesting in how they relate to tech, and also political, you're going to (or at least should have) more success than this article. Even just a proper analysis of how widespread fake political social media accounts area, deeper statistics, more novel processes of this happening, etc. would all be interesting, and would not fall in the politics-first-tech-second bucket.
