You don't have to walk to the local government office to get car registration plates anymore? That was always annoying as hell.
Your analogy does not apply at all.
Stress I'll grant you. But what's your alternative to selectiveness? Is your expectation that companies, who are spending a substantial amount of money to hire someone, should not try to hire the best person they can get for their buck?

Like, I'm enough of a leftie to agree with the idea that one's ability to contribute in the workplace shouldn't determine your ability to live a decent life. But that doesn't mean companies should hire someone who can't do the job, it means being unemployed shouldn't be a virtual death sentence, which isn't fundamentally a problem of hiring processes.
Thanks for these suggestions!
It is my futile mission in life to help people understand that initials, acronyms, and abbreviations are real barriers to communication.
Oh we are going to have disagree on that last point: I can name multiple anime of the same caliber from just the last few seasons alone :)

On the contrary, I think we are getting more quality anime per season than ever before.
An interesting consequence: I started to think about how I'll be incentivized to take more pictures of useful information, and might even try setting up a Proton Mail proxy so I can use the iOS Email app and give Siri more context
Where's "Select All" after "Select"? I'm not seeing that option (either on a search result or the "All Photos" collection), it'd solve a bunch of my problems. Thanks for the tip on Files, it seems like that's a nice alternative to AirDrop that's even more direct.
Uncertain Times – A New Way of Thinking for a Complex World
This article's a good reminder that the world doesn't work in simple cause-and-effect ways. The complex nature of the world means that we can't always predict what will happen when we make changes. So, we should embrace uncertainty and create robust and adaptable systems. Even a emergent engineer is proposed to design systems that can adapt to the unexpected. Love it!
I’ve had some success with google assistant calling restaurants to make reservations, when they are phone only. I expect it’s a matter of time until they can camp on my doctors office. Or call my insurance and pretend to be me.
As much as I hoped for Xcode on the iPad, I still don’t think any of this AI stuff or “private cloud” is related.

Though I don’t know if I would use my iPad for programming even if it was possible, when I have a powerful Macbook Pro with a larger screen.
Weekends exist. You can eat a snack while your kids eat their meal. Plenty of parents leave for work before breakfast and get home after dinner.

Yes, if you’re taking this as a challenge to avoid your kids and eat literally every meal at work, yes having what most would consider a “normal” family life will be challenging.

But the idea that it can’t be done is nuts.

I didn’t say it was easy. But the idea that a 30-minute commute to a cushy tech job office that provides 3 meals a day is somehow incompatible with family life is a bananas take IMO.
Just about every I/O interface in the Python standard library does it: env vars, reading data in files, reading stdin, even filenames themselves.
Weak and paranoid take
I'm curious about this vs a .har file

In Chrome Devtools, network tab, last icon that looks like an arrow pointing into a dish (Export har file)

I guess a .har file as ton more data though I used it to extract data from sites that either intensionally or unintentionally make it hard to get data. For example, signing up for an apartment the apartment management site used pdf.js and provided no way to save the PDF. So saved the .har file and extracted the PDF.

Well worth checking out.
He did find a move that occurred a single time including the specific game that included it. He also showed many moves that occurred zero times from every single game played on lichess.org.

So, depending on your definition either could reasonably qualify. Which you pick as the rarest is simply an arbitrary definition.

You could consider different notions, but run into the issue of defining what is unambiguous. IE You could say e2 to e4 is unambiguous for a given game state but that would imply game state must be included in the definition for of a move. Defining what the minimum game state is for an unambiguous move would be a video of its own.

Love it, thanks for posting.

Reading through, this method sounds a lot like Thompson sampling, and surely enough, the previous thread came up after a quick search for comparisons.

Sadly, no immediate empirical results came up, but having another tool in the belt is good on its own.
It's odd...I've gotten along fine without AI in my iPhone 13, and it will continue to work just as I have come to expect with the new iOS.

The new AI features will be available on the iPad Air I just ordered, and on my M1 MacBook Air, and I'll be able to play with them there until I'm ready to upgrade my phone. I think these new features sound great, but I'm not in any hurry to adopt them wholesale.
> I would have thought that two parents working and not technology would have been the major contributor to loss of the community in early periods.

I had one working parent and I had a community because I had places to go.

My 5 kids had 1 parent at home full time and zero community. For most hours they were trapped in a building with adults. Sometimes they were contained in some highly limited adult-made program. And that was what they had. Also most every other kid.

> nation state ... threat model

The history of tech is the history of falling costs with mass production. Expensive TLA surveillance tech for nation states can become broadly accessible, e.g. through-wall WiFi radar sensing sold to millions via IEEE 802.11bf WiFi 7 Sensing in NPU/AI PCs [1], or USB implant cables [2] with a few zeros lopped off the TLA price.

Instead of adversary motives, threat models can be based on adversary costs.

As adversary costs fall, threat models need to evolve.

The rate of work-related moves is half of what it used to be in the 1960s. By all accounts, mobility is decreasing, not increasing.

The reality is that we just don't talk to each other much. If you want to look for the decline of one institution that provided some degree of community cohesion, then the answer is going to be pretty unpopular: we don't go to church anymore.

"Robots are hard because the world is complicated"

Or it could be that some problems are inherently hard. Just solving the motion matrix of a simple robotic arm is an academic research field of its own.
For example if you already know, and use, Swift because you are an app developer who’s been developing apps for iOS, iPadOS, or macOS, then improved cross-platform support would be very desirable.
Thanks, I need a LOL moment today and you gave it to me! Good thing I didn't soil myself in the process...
This is delightful. I think that the hardest part (that, honestly, he absolutely nailed) is defining "rare" and "move" -- not only did he come up with reasonably satisfactory definitions, but he also was able to walk us through his discovery process.

The rest is a fun programming problem (which he largely glossed over), and it's clear he put a massive amount of care into the video. Thank you!
Do chess players actually consider this "double disambiguation" from the notation to be a different "move"?
For this reason, I really hope we can self-host our "private cloud" for use with apple devices. That would truly, properly allow end to end privacy. I don't trust Apple given the legislation you've just linked to, both claims obviously can't be correct.
> Since chance is involved, you will basically never want to do anything but the greediest highest value next action. Sometimes more than half the board has net value of 0 or less which makes them very easy to ignore.

Since passing is not an option, you can't ignore a net value of 0 or less, because all options might have a net value of 0 or less.
I’ll be thoroughly impressed when Siri learns my wife’s name for good. Yes, I trained it, but somehow the lesson was forgotten.
You can already remote control an iPhone through FaceTime I think
Oh, yeah that is a possibility. I think though long term they are going to have Siri be a search engine that actually works in the way Google once did.
Anyone claiming that accuracy of AI models WILL improve is either unaware of how they really work or is a snake oil salesman.

Forget about a model that knows EVERYTHING. Let's just train a model that only is expert in not all the law of United states just one state and not even that, just understands FULLY the tax law of just one state to the extent that whatever documents you throw at it, it beats a tax consultancy firm every single time.

If even that were possible, OpenAI et.el would be playing this game differently.
Siri without it isn't though. It's so garbage as to be useless.
Does the bullshit P&TO, Chinese-alphabet-soup-fake-brand-name of the enclosure matter that much? It was a Seagate Exos X4 drive inside the "branded" enclosure.

I consider Seagate to be a trustworthy brand, yet the one sent to me failed within two weeks and it had no shock absorption in the device at all.

When you buy rust drives on Amazon you are rolling the dice that you're going to get a drive that's been thrown around and could fail within two weeks.
> along with capitalism, free markets, anti-union

On the other side you have socialism, DEI and cisgender. You really don't have to make a point to get that section riled up, just mention the term. (One could literally start a speech to the respective crowds by repeating a single word, e.g. corporations or socialism, taking a dramatic pause, and get a strong response.)

And again, it's safe to toss out policy feedback that obsesses over these terms. (Both the far left and right also have a weird obsession with capitalising random words. I think it seems evocative of Enlightenment-era English?)

Not only that--even the combined system + what it is interacting with won't.

> Carroll is suggesting we try to observe this behavior from a sufficiently large isolated system.

But you can't, even with the entire universe, if measurements have single results. In the MWI, they don't; any measurement has all possible results. But we don't observe that, we observe measurements to have single results, so the MWI has to jump through hoops to explain that discrepancy away--and in doing so, makes itself unfalsifiable.
I got to be honest every time I look over to the Swift/iOS development ecosystem I’m shocked at the amount of nonsense they have to deal with.

- Xcode is terrible

- Documentation is barely existent

- you can’t really reuse your code in any other context

- you have to pay them money to even release your software

- they steal 30% of your revenue

- they reserve the right to shut you down at any point, for any reason and provide almost zero recourse.

I get why people had to use it historically but it seems like a really bad choice to try and build any kind of reliable future on top of in 2024.

> The EU forcing Apple to adopt a cleartext protocol like RCS is deeply suspicious. Interoperability will force disclosure of message contents to the state and carrier.

I don't think it's suspicious. Almost nobody uses SMS in Europe anyway so this change is almost meaningless over here. It's just WhatsApp and then a little bit of Telegram, Signal etc on top.

I'm honestly not sure why anyone drives this (in Europe). I used to work for a mobile operator and RCS was a big thing around 2006-2009 in our R&D department. Then I changed to others jobs and almost didn't believe my eyes when it resurfaced with Google over a decade later. I was absolutely sure it was a dead horse already in 2009.
Im not sure why people post these kinds of things. First of all it does not define really anything, it just gropes at the subject trying to find something to hold on to.

And of course theres the crazy web articles that made funny memes about cows multiplying by calling POST over and over.

So Im not going to actually get into any of that text book stuff because alot of it is actually described in academic language, or simply being metaphorical, or describing a “result” as this 5 min blog post did.

So heres what idempotent actually is:

ID - empotent

Means literally “empowered by ID”, or ID aware if that feels better to you.
It means that things that have been created will not be recreated because an ID prevents that from happening. And thats all it means. To make that mean something in your app, you have to convert that to a semantic and hopefully contractual interaction.

For example lets use REST.

POST /addresses

{
"first-name": “bob",
“last_name": “johnson”,
“street”: “foo…
}

201 CREATED:
{
“id”: "8c3d03c4-7fe7-4355-afd4-25e838c4f884"
"first-name": “bob",
“last_name": “johnson”,
“street”: “foo…
}

The server returns the ID of the created address, which should now forever identify this address.

So what happens if we do the POST to addresses again and omit the ID?
We will be creating a new address we already created. This is exactly what should happen.

But what should happen if we call POST again with the ID?

POST /addresses
{
“id”: "8c3d03c4-7fe7-4355-afd4-25e838c4f884"
"first-name": “bob",
“last_name": “johnson”,
“street”: “foo…
}

You have some options for the response here. Here are some obvious choices:

409 CONFLICT
400 BAD REQUEST

The point being that POST should not process requests to create items that already have an ID assigned as provided by the client.

You can return a response like “Call PUT dummy” but thats not necessary.

And thats really it some shops sort of muddy the waters by saying that IDEMPOTENCY means “upsert”.

Again thats describing a behavior with an intended result not IDEMPOTENCY.
While its technically true that APIs should when provided with the same input have the same output it doesnt mean you should code a POST as an upsert.

We have semantics for creates and updates already in REST.
So be empowered by ids and make your apps semantics match.
There's actually a list, but it's really big and includes possible exposure to toast (acrylamide) and beer (ethanol). There's also no compensation or incentive for doing any work to prove that a warning isn't justified, so everyone errs on the side of spamming them everywhere.
Can''t you just replace every mention of AI with outsourcing in your post?

Literally everyone was freaking out in the 2000's about their job because of India.
Apple has decided to allow users to disable various features, so the question is, do they let you disable this.
As someone who often prints boardgames, this strikes me as a game that would be very easy to build a physical version of, just printing some tiles with random distributions printed on, and finding some tokens and a die to use. It would make a compact travel game. I do not think there would have to be a huge number of tiles. A few more than nine ought to be enough?
Sure. I’m agnostic in all this but I do think Apple prefers to build their own AI and worry about anti-trust later.
They're certainly wearing their heart on their sleeve there.
In the case of Amazon, I don't think that's true, but my opinion is only shaped by what I read online since I don't use it. I'd be wary of getting fake/counterfeit/knockoff items even if I thought I was buying the real thing.
Next time I want a drive the same day I'm taking the light rail to Best Buy. Otherwise probably online from Microcenter or Monoprice.
> this could be the moment that Google realises it needs to stick to what it knows best - Search

You misspelled "ads"
I think you're probably right globally and historically. However, I think the parent's point is still valid for many localities. Sure, the medium to large animal diversity is probably low in our already mostly destroyed habitats (cities, suburbs, etc) but the insecticides are likely to be destroying what's left for the remaining insects and small animals.
Exactly, Apple has barely any oversight or accountability for their privacy claims. Sad to see so many people taking their word at face value.
That's exactly why I wait extra long to install updates.
It already works for Chrome. Apple has an official extension. However, it’s a bit annoying since you need to authenticate each new browser session with MFA
Seems kind of silly. Laundry machines and dishwashers exist. The issue with the last mile is more robotics and control engineering than strictly AI. It's getting annoying seeing AI used as an umbrella term for everything related to automation.
"Oh man, it's even got a cool name!"

Now I feel like I should name all my strategic initiatives like I'm a Dragonball Z character. Maybe I should stop posting in this thread and go...lie down or something. That feeling can't possibly be good.
Apple started including the neural engine back with A11 Bionic. In 2017.
> Why would someone crawl their own website?

My main use case is that the docs site https://pota.quack.uy/ , Google cannot index it properly. On here https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Apota.quack.uy you will see some tiles/descriptions won't match what the content of the page is about. As the full site is rendered client side, via JavaScript, I can just crawl myself and save the html output to actual files. Then, I can serve that content with nginx or any other web server without having to do the expensive thing of SSR via nodejs. Not to mention, that being able to do SSR with modern JavaScript frameworks is not trivial, and requires engineering time.

I have no confidence this will work as intended. The last MacOS upgrade had the horrible UX of guessing which emoji you want and being wrong 95% of the time. I don't expect this to be any better. Demos are scripted.

I also expect it to fail miserably on names (places, restaurants, train stations, people), people that are bilingual, non-English, people with strong accents from English not being their first language, etc.
Absolutely. It goes both ways. I just realized I may have implied otherwise. I was sticking to the negative words that go with corporation.
I've got a fairly sophisticated and detailed story world I've been building up with my kid, it always starts the same way and there are known characters.

We've been building this up for some time, this tiny universe is the most common thing for me to respond to "will you tell me a story?" (something that is requested sometimes several times a day) since it is so deeply ingrained in both our heads.

Yesterday, while driving to pick up burritos, I dictated a broad set of detailed points, including the complete introductory sequence to the story to gpt-4o and asked it to tell a new adventure based on all of the context.

It did an amazing job at it. I was able to see my kid's reaction in the reflection of the mirrors and it did not take away from what we already had. It actually gave me some new ideas on where I can take it when I'm doing it myself.

If people lean on gen ai with none of their own personal, creative contributions they're not going to get interesting results.

But I know you can go to the effort to create and create and create and then on top of that layer on gen AI--it can knock it out of the park.

In this way, I see gen AI capabilities as simply another tool that can be used best with practice, like a synthesizer after previously only having a piano or organ.

I have a friend that suffered the exact type of lymph cancer that Roundup is supposed to cause. He used Roundup in his properties for years.

When I was a bench tech, back in the early eighties, we had gallon jugs of trichlor, all over the building. Each tech had a bottle at their bench.

We were explicitly told, by management, that it was completely harmless.
Rumours say that Apple has bought a lot of GPUs from Nvidia in the last year or so in order to train their own models.
