>Yes, for much of it's lifetime it was behind the 360 in worldwide sales, and might have been a disappointment for Sony, especially after the PS2 domination, but I wouldn't call say it "Lost Handily" to the xbox360. It may have taken time, but it did outsell it.

As far as I understood, Halo was the killer app for Xbox but I suppose it was the killer app only in US, because like I said, from my EU gamer's point of view, Call of Duty was all the rage first on PC and then afterwards on PS plus FIFA and PES were huge on PS as well.
You can't embed graphs in a script, and plotting is an important part of systematic research. Also, it is easier to have an obvious sequential set of experiments over months in a notebook rather than a bunch of scripts. It's the same reason scientists use lab notebooks to keep track of things rather than just a bunch of loose papers.
I work in a lab at a university where I'm currently working on building assistive music controls for disabled musicians. From what I've seen in my short time here is it seems like a lot of these kinds of projects don't often translate from the research space into viable businesses. Also, due to the highly variable physical and neurological characteristics, often assistive devices will need specific customization, tuning, and support. So these things also tend to be expensive.

Reproducing a quotation from a book is likely always fair use in the US. A database of quotes is also probably not copyrightable in the first place though of course the software is.

Absolutely agree these things are useful, and extremely convenient to have in a single device.

However none of them are essential, and I'm not convinced any of the benefits of these conveniences outweigh ingraining this device dependance on children at critical habit forming points of their lives.

Note that the trend of how addicted to their phone they are seems to directly correlate to their exposure when they were young.

Boomers+: Barely at all

Gen X: A bit

Gen Y: A real problem

Gen Z: I'd be surprised if 5/100 can watch a full length movie without looking at their phone

If you consider at what point in life each group gained access to engaging modern tech, there is a clear correlation. Causation is a reasonable path to follow here, and it much too likely to risk young childrens exposure - in my opinion.

Then fucking do it.

I think it'd probably fail, but it might not. Importantly it allows iterations. The side group might be the winner.

My email is in my profile, I'll try for a month, add your dog, there's your group.

I think you'll find "something" already exists. There was a WhatsApp feed. For me it wasn't interesting. Do a search on the archives / Google if you care. Or just do it.
I imagine if they filtered out just the bits with some action going on, they'd still have approximately infinite feed of naked human bodies in all possible poses, which would be unoffensive out of context (or at least less offensive), and would be equivalent to art classes models for the purpose of training.
Although it'll be fascinating to see how things like the finger situation change as we get models in common use that also handle video well. One thing that becomes obvious quickly with Stable Diffusion is that it doesn't have a good concept of a 3D world model to work with; or any grasp of physics. It is practically impossible for a human artist with SD levels of competence to accidentally draw multiple limbs and that speaks to how it just doesn't get that humans are a 3D existence.

Once video data is involved though it seems likely that will change. And I reckon a side effect is that a lot of the trickier details will improve. It'll be a great experiment to figure out whether the models also need lessons in anatomy or whether they figure it out through pure observation.
Should’ve made right to be real, it was confusing to play like that, fun nonetheless.
A lot of this article smells like bullshit to me, but anecdotally speaking, I do think that there is something very wrong with the US food system.

I was in Russia a few years ago and I remember that basically all the food I ate at my relatives' rural town was remarkably, stunningly better than even the best locally grown farmer's market food that I have ever been able to find in the US. It practically radiated goodness.

Now, part of this might be because of childhood nostalgia or some genetic factor that predisposes me to the food of my homeland. But I think I can tell that most of it is not nostalgia. That Russian food I ate in that rural town really was much better than anything I've ever found in the US.

Which is remarkable given that Russia practices the same sort of massive highly technological agriculture that the US does, it is not like when I was there I was eating the products of some small farmstead.
I teach drawing from observation. I start off with talking about projection and drawing machines then show them how to create their own 'conceptual'mdrawing machine using nothing but the straight edge of a pencil. The trick is to identify points in the scene (intersections, corners, features etc) which corespond to each other on a vertical or horizontal axis. with a few of those done, the whole drawing drops into place.

Edit. Unless I am missing something, I see no mention of Van Goghs sighting grid. Crude, but effective.

Oh I have no doubt that I could easily set up Debian now if I wanted to. Since that last time I tried it I've installed Arch and Gentoo and Ubuntu Server (converted into a desktop OS) and ran through the Linux From Scratch book once. I'm pretty sure that I could get the 2009 version I had trouble with as a 19 year old working pretty easily now.

Sadly, I don't think I'll be able to convince my parents to switch to Linux in the super near future; I need to work on them for awhile and maybe I can convince my dad (though he's pretty entrenched in Windows).
Work with/for smaller companies and develop mutual loyalty with them.

By necessity, large companies ultimately operate by documented process and this makes it hard for them to accomodate outside-normal needs unless such accomodation has been encoded in the process.

Meanwhile, small companies are still just collectives of people trying to make something happen. If you do good work and demonstrate responsibility and long-term commitment, you can usually earn plenty of affordance for whatever noise your health issues bring to individual days.
You act like there are enough of these high paying jobs to go around. Everyone in california could work their bollocks raw but there’s never going to be 45 million half million dollar a year job openings.
Oh sure. There’s a place for it. But not every game needs to be that way. We mostly get AAA and now “AAAA” games.

Except there is that competition for high compensation workers.

I'm proof of it. I was imported from New Zealand to the US to take a job at a wage an American wasn't willing to accept.

That it was $160k/yr doesn't change that my employer couldn't find anyone at that wage. In fact, they couldn't find anyone at that wage + >~100k, because that's about how much they spent to hire me, move me (lawyers + immigration), and keep me legal.

My entire career has been spent moving from country to country and (essentially) taking jobs at wages locals aren't willing to work for.
"Suppose you get a salamander. You know, a salamander can regrow its limbs if you cut them off. So all these nasty biology students do things like, they'll cut a limb of the salamander -- a hand, the arm off, just between the shoulder and the elbow, and at the same time, cut the same one between the elbow and the hand, flip around that segment, and re-sew it back on. Nasty thing to do to a salamander. What do you think you get? Does anybody here know? What you get is three elbows. It grows two new elbows to make up for the fact that the wrong thing is connected to the wrong thing." --Gerald Sussman, "We Really Don't Know How To Compute!" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HB5TrK7A4pI&t=2m49s)

These images look like someone spliced salamander regeneration DNA into a human, cut them into many pieces, and connected the wrong thing to the wrong thing all over the place. Maybe that's what the AI wants to do to us, AM style (I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream)?

In general anything written by nonprofessional programmers in pursuit of some other goal is terrible code by professional programmer standards.

On the other hand, it accomplishes a goal other than getting a programmer paid. So in one important sense is objectively better than probably 80% of the code I've seen people paid to write, no matter how nicely it was constructed.
Yes, I have a lab notebook and I work in a lab. However I use folder structures to organize my scripts and as for graph outputs I save them as files.

> If we randomized and reassigned everyone's salaries, would you prefer a higher chance of having a higher salary or would you rather a lower salary but have less of a gap between you and someone who earns more?

This is a classic false dichotomy.
https://speakola.com/political/margaret-thatcher-on-socialis...

The interesting thing is your phrasing here about randomizing and reassigning is very similar to a Rawlsian framing -- if you don't know anything about what your specific outcome will be, but you can have an opinion on the distribution over outcomes, what should you want that distribution to look like?

> you're also out of luck using old hardware in the first place because the manufacturer wants you to buy the new version. they will help you LESS than Linux devs.

The manufacturer probably doesn't exist any more. They wrote decent drivers and supported them for a number of years, that should be enough. Or maybe a dedicated fan wrote some OSS drivers at some point in the past. On both Windows and FreeBSD that's good enough; once a driver has been written, it largely stays working, so I can keep using my hardware. This really is a unique downside of Linux.

If there are complaints about code quality in a jupyter notebook, chances are that someone is doing it wrong -- either the author is using it for demonstration purpose, for production or near production environment, or the person looking at others' notebooks is taking them too seriously.

Most code in jupyter notebook is bad, but that's fine, because nobody should waste time doing that unless they must reproduce the results or they are sharing the notebook with others.

AIs tend to do interesting things only by accident. But interesting accidents happen quite frequently.

What SD3 has done here is "good art," as modernity defines the term: It's unique, it's technically adroit, and, most of all, it's shocking, thought provoking, unsettling. You can only wonder what went through the mind of the "artist" -- what it was trained on, how it attained such a strange result. This is at least gallery-tier if not worthy of MOMA, and I'm 100% serious about this.
Good AI image generators handle those details well already. Even if you don't get it 100%, you can inpaint fix very quickly.

The current problem for them really isn't the details in isolation but rather cohesive details throughout the entire picture in one attempt. It's very lacking and requires a lot of manual input, filtering, reliance on multiple tools, etc.
Array Languages Still Have a Long Way to Go
At least one of the players has a strategy that cannot be countered though. That is, either white can force a win, black can force a win, or both players can force a draw. There is no situation where every strategy can be countered.
Yeah. You can see things like that and call the BRICS a random arragement of countries and ignore that it is evolving into a more formal and integrated coalition, all the while believing all the FUD from the press that overvalues the disagreements between China and India.

I also wouldn't call the government changes in India a masssive government change. Neither china is in the shitter. Stock and Financial market shenanigans are not as critical in China as they are in the US because they are heavily regulated, they are not as critical for capital financing as in the US, and chinese citizens wealth and retirement are not tied as strongly to stocks.

Or you can just see things in another way and realize that most former colonial countries have developed a lot, and that the US and Europe are no longer the former titans compared to what people sometimes call the global south.
And sometimes that body is nude. On one hand I hope that this will help some people understand that their standards of what is SFW or NSFW need to be adjusted.

Anyway, I hope standards will change in the US faster than the rest of the world finishes shifting to those utterly stupid standards.
I did the math and it seems that the TX legislature assumes an EV is going to be driven around 80,000 miles a year.
Perhaps. In my experience a bad driver is better than no driver; not wanting bad code in your codebase is reasonable, but gets less reasonable when you also refuse to offer an API. And even if your code does meet their quality requirements, it can still get rejected for kernel-politics reasons.
You are asking what the advantage of a notebook is. Can you truly not see a job / workflow in which inline plotting would be advantageous? I find that very hard to believe.

I think you're correct, though if so the disinterest is shocking. This is one of the most significant events in the tech world in quite some time.

Remember back university, we used to do course projects (for science/engineering course) and at the end we would have to write a report. The report would typically include, among other stuff, two things.

(1) The calculational methods we used - could either be a set of mathematical equations or a description of the algorithms. (2) The results of evaluating these equations/algorithms for different parameter values. Usually some graphs, and some discussion of their meaning.

A Jupyter notebook is designed to replicate that process but make it easier because the figures are produced by code right there. Personally, all my notebooks include a discussion in the markdown cells what I am doing, and why. It includes discussions of the code. And directly from the code, some graphs or numbers, with a discussion attached.

With the script workflow, I would have two different files. One with the code, and one with the results pasted in. It's annoying when my primary goal is to develop and test the algorithms under discussions. Best thing is, if done right, my work is completely replicable. Just run the notebook again.

Just because some people misuse the tool doesn't mean the tool isn't useful.
Isn't that because the gas tax is regressive against the poor who have older cars with bad gas mileage and this compensates by having rich electric owners pay the share of gas tax they've skirted?
Idk how you'd use one for non-throwaway code. Not like a webserver can run a routine in a notebook.
> Good AI image generators handle those details well already. Even if you don't get it 100%, you can inpaint fix very quickly.

But that should not be the case. A human body is not more complicated than a horse’s or a cat’s, and those are usually much better. There really is a problem in our relation with our own bodies.
Create a blog post that calls out all the misinformation, why/how it is false, and links to their page with the false information.

I found a non-paywall copy of the article https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/apple-to-pay-openai-for-chatgpt-...

You are still missing the point and I think you have a persistent mental block. You are overthinking it. It's not that complicated.

The article says that Apple is partnering with OpenAI. It also says that OpenAI runs on Azure infrastructure.

Whatever they negotiate, the deal is intended to be a win-win for both sides in the long run. Obviously both sides are interested in making money. The article mentions future revenue sharing agreements and getting more users to subscribe to the paid ChatGPT.

Any increase of OpenAI/ChatGPT usage means an increased usage of (and dependency on) Microsoft/Azure infrastructure. I don't understand how this is so complicated to understand. OpenAI runs on Azure and more OpenAI usage/dependency means more Azure usage/dependency. Microsoft increases their cut of the AI market share as more Apple users use Microsoft infrastructure and of course they will make profit from that. None of these guys are doing it for charity.
A notebook is a REPL with an inline wiki. Of course it is not intended for running production code, it’s just an R&D environment to document, share, and test ideas
Sometimes you want to quickly iterate on a portion of code doing some sort of analysis or tweaking a plot. If your data pipeline takes a while to run then rerunning the whole script is really awful. Notebooks make it easy to cache rerun and tweak chunks of the code.
Considering the RP2040 is only $0.70, not exactly an attractive option.
Notebooks have at least one advantage, but it's one that shouldn't really be an advantage: In a world where every big organisation rushed to adopt all the latest cloud buzzwords, we now have an awful lot of half-baked fontends for AWS and Azure that will certainly be mandated by company policy. Actually getting a computer that can access all the data you want and run in a way you want through EU law, US law, EULAs, company security policy, cloud billing policy et cetera et cetera is a nightmare.

But for some reason, no matter what nonsensical environment you're being forced to operate in, there's always a Jupyter web interface with access to exactly what you need that none of the auditors, accountants or systems administrators seem to care about. It may not be good, but it works, and won't be bricked by some inexplicable change to IAM roles or VPS settings applied by some automated policy tool you didn't even know exists.
The exploration of type theory in this blog post is quite interesting
Another advantage is when you have very slow code, you can use cells as caches, essentially without having to worry about serialization to disk. This often makes it much easier to interactively explore/develop downstream methods without needing to re-run earlier upstream dependencies.

This is especially useful with large datasets. Even if serialization is straightforward, if you have enough data (or the data is remotely hosted), loading it might take anywhere from 2s to multiple minutes, and even 2s is enough to get you out of the flow if you are working rapidly and want quick feedback.
