I don't think anyone has yet worked out a way to convince people to live in reality and follow science and engineering and also be kind to people who are opposed to those ways of thinking. Being fake kind to people who are genuinely obstructing things getting done is unproductive but so is being unkind and it seems most people value being cordial even if it means things fail.

Almost all problems on projects boil down to a people problem in the end many of which are made intractable by company and wider culture.
I'm guessing it's fast compared to the javascript version they ported to rust?
Your request is missing the product research and feasibility part, which is that there's likely 0.1% or less kids that navigate and select songs on Spotify.

This means this likely has no business case, and you can imagine how laborious tagging and labelling music is.

As somebody else pointed out, one could avoid explicit songs, but that might not work as expected, as that song you mentioned yourself could be labeled as explicit.

Whenever something doesn't work the way you expect, maybe it's worth applying common sense knowledge to figure out whether it doesn't work the way you expect because the money incentive isn't there or just because it would be tough to build it.
Yes and more to the point I don't expect an attacker to be able to own my system just by having a particular filename on it.

I mean... I do expect that on Linux because shitty Bash scripts are so common. But that is a problem that should be solved.
I only use unsubscribe links from things I voluntarily and willingly subscribed to.

If I was involuntarily subscribed to something, or subscribed because of an inconspicuous "subscribe me" checkbox that I probably didn't notice, including from a legit business that I purchased an item, it's getting reported as spam in Gmail.
Living in a somewhat rural area, I have no choice but to own a car. And since I have a family, I want to drive the safest, most practical car possible that can handle frequent needs like transporting children, pets, luggage, etc all at the same time. A "large" SUV checks all the boxes.

If I lived in an urban area, I think it would be difficult and annoying to own a larger vehicle. Traffic, parking, narrow lanes, bikes, peds, etc would all make it pretty inconvenient. Many cities are charging vehicles to enter (like NYC). Maybe they could charge considerably more for larger vehicles or make it very low cost for small, compact cars?
Yes, because it shows the ability to relate concepts, not just which word follows the previous word. Also this was just a simple example, which is why some people are working on doing scientific discovery using LLM's. An AI may be able to discover relationships in the mass of knowledge we already have that people have not yet seen. But AI inventions can not be patented, so nobody will admit an AI invented something if that actually happens, so we might not know if it happens.
Companies are allowed to restrict speech by their employees about company information. Otherwise everyone would be allowed to leak every trade secret.

A manager's evaluation of another employee's performance is internal company information. There's no reason that a company should be compelled to share that information externally.

It doesn't matter if the manager wants to share it, any more than the manager wants to share all the source code the employee has written.

Companies are allowed to determine what gets shared by their current employees, end of story. On the other hand, it is unconstitutional for the government to override that.

There are exceptions for things like public companies that are compelled to release certain data on a quarterly basis in exchange for the benefits of being publicly traded. And plenty of information can be compelled to be shared privately with the government, whether taxes or for health inspections or whatever.

But absolutely not forcing companies to allow their employees to talk publicly about other employees' performance.
Stefan Helmreich's book is indeed brilliant! I used it extensively when writing Building SimCity. Stefan was quite helpful in researching my book, sharing and checking some old SFI documentation so I could determine things like who visited SFI when for what event (and with whom).

The attendee list for some of the early Artificial Life conferences was quite cool. Peter Molyneux shows up as well as one of Maxis's venture capitalists.
Thanks for the link. But I'm not going to spend all day reading those decisions (the language is so legalese it's hard to parse what they're talking about). I'll just say that every time the NLRB is in the news, I've never read of a case where they ruled for the business.

If you want to point to a decision in particular, I'll take a look at it.

> you made a stupid comment meant to insinuate something sinister

It's a fair question.
Edinburgh is such a walkable city, I had a fantastic half a decade living there
(without a car, apart from the rental one when moving there). This sounds like
the right move to maintain the pedestrian-friendliness and to keep the air cleaner.

However, the houses there are often old/historic, with very inefficient heating systems (some even use electricity to heat up a bunch of bricks, which then emits the heat to keep warm) - shocking! Also, windows are not normally with double or triple glass, and sometimes it is not permissible to change these because many buildings are protected.

I have multiple Spotify artists. I get it and think it's a fantastic service. Anyone complaining about it probably gets a couple dozen monthly plays because they don't know how to market, gig, and tour, or more likely their music sucks.
if the government in question is supportive of said problem entities, they won't "deal" with it

If the government in question has free reign on regulating said traffic, it's an avenue for repressions and censorship

Otherwise it's a legal matter to seek action against such entities, which is already how it works

(... but I'm afraid we're actually mostly talking about "scenario 1 entities" here, which makes it futile to seek action from the very offices that already play a role in making it harder to use existing legal means)

Can it be both overhyped and revolutionary? This may actually fit the technical definition of a bubble. There is a good book called "Bubbles and Crashes" that talks about tech bubbles. I think the traditional definition of a bubble is when the price of an asset exceeds its fundamental value. Thats effectively impossible to know (during the bubble) because we can't predict the future but there are other ways to more practically look at bubbles even if you may be in the middle of one. If an asset is more than 2 standard deviations from the trend of the last 7 years, if there are a lot of novice investors effectively 'speculating', and having a 'narrative' that explains the odd 'non-fundamentals based' valuations. At least thats the definition they use in the book iirc. Thats definitely happening right now.

There is also this obnoxious wall street/silicon valley hype train surrounding all of it-- which is by design. This is exactly what these companies want: a huge digital gold rush so they can try their hand at panning for gold using investor money. They try it with any new tech or buzzword they can because it brings in money.

Its unfortunate because this technology feels revolutionary. This feels like the internet did to me as a kid. It wasn't all great. It wasn't perfect. But it was cool and there was something special about it. There are these new tools and services that all do slightly different things and when you combined them you could create really amazing things. AI feels that way. I'm not just talking LLMs either. I think those are impressive and useful, but there is so much else going on in the AI/ML space that can already really move the needle--and this is the worst it will ever be.

I hate the comparisons to Bitcoin/block chain. They are being made because that same obnoxious wall street/silicon valley hype-model was at play there too, but I think anyone who was honest with themselves knew there were severe limitations with the tech and its usefulness. AI tools actually provide value, right now, and has a lot of room to grow.

But back to the hype and "Bubble" question. I think its overhyped because thats whats what silicon valley is good at and wall street is good and amplifying it (and punishing anyone not riding the wave). We probably are in a bubble, but AI is here to stay. Its a new frontier of computing and its going to unlock new and interesting ways to interact with each other and the world around us.

I also want to point out that AR is a perfect complement for all of the AI/ML tools that have been developed. The Meta Ray Bans are really interesting to me because they are marrying the two techs. I dont trust Facebook with that type of thing, but imagine if a privacy respecting company tried something like that? Apple is setting themselves up nicely in this space. They could create a new market with iGlass or Apple Vision with "apple intelligence" built in.

This is the most excited I've been about tech in a long while.
That would be a layer/protocol violation. The HTTP status codes used in DoH are used to discuss the semantics of the DNS query itself, unrelated to the DNS response. For example an NXDOMAIN response is still a 200, not a 404.

Edit: for what it’s worth, Google is doing this the “right” way in the DNS protocol itself, see: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40698650
Why do you care so much about what people said? Before video recording was a thing people didn't have to constantly watch their back and monitor what they were saying in fear of losing their jobs. What happened at a party, stayed at a party.

You may say it's important only for public officials. But why is it important? Because you're giving huge amount of power to single individuals and somehow we're taught that's a good thing - or at least that it's inevitable for keeping peace or to keep crime at bay.
What a load of bs. I hope distrust in centralisation increases. It should have been there in the first place.
How about a paper tape writer/puncher? Anyone made one of those?
> The best systems in practice seem to be proportional-representation parliamentary ones. They generally result in coalitions of multiple generally centrist parties so things don’t change too abruptly, but passing new laws is at least possible.

When there are two major parties each representing say ~45% of the population, proportional-representation gives the left over swing voters equal power does it not? So perhaps ~6% of swing voters can have as much influence as ~45% of voters? Does this not happen in practice? Consider Israeli proportional-representation system for example. The Israeli % numbers are different but I have the impression they struggle with this problem due to proportional-representation.

The biggest symbol of a statically linked swift binary that I have, is icudt_swift65_dat with 27.98MB, so I think that's not so easy to remove (nm v3.1.2 --size-sort --radix=d|swift demangle) And I think if you strip debuginfo it will be smaller (For a statically linked program of mine: 98MB -> 56MB)

But I think for a distribution it makes more sense to link swift programs dynamically against the runtime libraries, like it's the case for e.g. the C standard library, OpenSSL etc., as you can assume they all work with the same version and are ABI-compatible.

I tested it with a nearly static build (Still links against glibc and friends): 55MB get stripped to 44MB, so not that much. 27MB of that is icudt_swift65_dat, so I guess you would have to optimise that first

The reason people sometimes need to be "unkind" is to prevent some cost from being incurred. (Another conceivable reason is personality disorders, but let's assume normal healthy people.)

For normal healthy people, kindness is the default state when it is free. When there are costs, it becomes a luxury only some people can afford.
I had an employer only offer severance if I signed a new non compete for FIVE years and to get around the overly broad language they inserted clauses on every single thing that stated that there was no way around the non compete even though the state would find it illegal. My state has precedent that if the non compete doesn't allow a person to earn a living, they throw it out and if one clause does that, the whole thing is in valid. So the employer wrote their new non compete to completely try to circumvent it. They also paid shit, so severance wasn't worth it.
wow funny

That forces you to sandwich two boards together (connector, more costs, etc), and still you have no freedom regarding which peripherals to place around the RPi SoC.
is there an answers sheet somewhere as well?
In the US, whatever was interpreting the pulse dialling was very lenient; some people tried to create "incoming-only" phones by locking a metal plate over the rotary dial, but other people would make outgoing call pulses manually via hook flash.
there's already a word for using a specific type of soft language regardless as to intent, and it's "polite"

don't know why we need to quibble about the meaning of "nice" or invent a new word when polite will do

politeness, unlike kindness or niceness, has no implication of intent, only tone, which is what's trying to be conveyed
> they're developer kits for manufacturers that need a CPU running a well supported mainline Linux in their products.

Raspberry Pi 5 isn’t as well supported in mainline. You’re still going to be using their kernel if you want all the features, just like many other module these days.

> The only reason they don't cost $500 or more

$500 is a huge exaggeration. There are numerous modules and small boards well under that price that come with good support, including many with full x86-64 CPUs.

I think it’s more correct to say that the boards are approaching equilibrium with other boards and modules in price, not that they’re secretly some premium $500 product sold at a discount for reasons. Nobody would be buying Raspberry Pi anything at $250, let alone $500.
This is spot on. There is a market for small SBCs that spans from weapons to washing machines. When the RPi was introduced it threw a huge wrench into that market because it came in, with an operating system and storage, at under the price for the typical enclosure, much less the board itself of the existing systems. Look at PC104 systems for example.

The two pieces that have to be in place, as 'threshold' requirements are

1) The SBC exists and is available from a manufacturer

2) The same manufacturer provides an OS for that board and its associated board support package (BSP) which is drivers for all the I/O and system support functions.

The industry is full of people who went out of business because they chose Vendor A's SBC and Vendor B's OS, only to fail to deliver when it didn't work with Vendor A and Vendor B point at the other saying it was their problem. So people just don't do that any more.

What most vendors in the SBC space, prior to the introduction of the Raspberry Pi, didn't have was 20 to 30 thousand programmers writing random bits of code. What that meant was the Pi's feature set exploded rapidly, what's more there were lots of free tutorials on programming it.

In the SBC space before Pi that "Programmer Training" was one of the ways the vendor made better margins at $500/hr for a class of "up to 15 students" at our facilities.

So before, higher priced SBC + BSP, and you had to send your programmers on a road trip to the vendors facility to get the hands on training, and then you had to pay every time you made a service request.

After, cheap SBC + BSP!, a bunch of different programming videos on the web for free! Program doesn't work? Just ask the community of enthusiasts what they think!

We are not surprised a whole lot of the smaller SBC vendors closed down after that.

They could use Mixtral, Minstral, XWin, Mythomax, or Claude 3 Haiku 196M. They’re all great and most/all are better than Siri.

I think the best thing Apple could do is let the user choose which AI to load in. It could be like iTunes or the App Store and called the AI store. Then AI providers can compete on privacy & effectiveness. The store would need lots of features to enable comparison though or users won’t be able to decide which ones might be worth picking.

You're pretty much exactly 180 degrees in the wrong in that one. Due to the deep NN-based approach, FSD can react to the minutest of changes like seeing ahead of the car in front, or even hand signals by pedestrians to decide how to drive.

Again, even mentioning Waymo here proves you don't have the slightest idea of what you're talking about. Might as well compare FSD to trains, trains also "steer themselves" lol

I used to advocate for using Word styles where I worked. I didn't make many converts. I think one issue is that Word's built-in styles are just so weird. Blue font on a white background for section headings? (if I remember correctly) Who ever asked for that? And yes, you can modify the default styles, but it's a nuisance, it's laborious, and if you ever forget to save one of your changes to your template, it won't show up the next time. (And the modified template can be hard to find next time.)

But absolutely the worst thing about Word's styles is section numbering. Nearly every technical document I've ever written has used "legal" numbering (sections 1.1 and 1.2 are under section 1, for example, with 1.1.1, 1.1.2 etc. under 1.1). Word seems inherently incapable of doing this. I know there are web pages that tell how to force it, but (1) it's again quite laborious and error prone, and (2) it's just buggy, for instance if you do a copy-paste of a section to some other place in the document.

LaTeX does all this out of the box, with no errors whatsoever. And it also does cross-references to sections correctly, which Word can do--but in my experience, not well.

I could go on, but there are other reasons people tend not to use Word's styles.
