It will become more and more difficult to motivate students to learn facts. Why should they, if they have instant access to everything. Problem is, building understanding usually requires to learn some basic facts. Same with skills like writing, drawing, languages, researching facts - you have to train them (my daughter learned drawing mainly by copying photos of things that she liked). Where to find motivation for learning anything if you can generate images, video, stories, and get all the facts from the machine? I have no idea what the future school should look like. But perhaps going back to the "basics" without any computer support will be the best approach.
A few decades ago I refactored a different way:

// this may be a mistake! English language is unorthogonal in the extreme!
const char * Add_es( int count ) { return 1 == count ? "" : "es"; }
const char * Add_s( int count ) { return 1 == count ? "" : "s" ; }

(some English words pluralize with "es" suffix, most with "s"). It has proven surprisingly useful:

Msg( "%d file%s updated when you switched back", updates, Add_s( updates ) );

Only difference vs example is mine prints "0" vs "no".

That's also a detail a human assistant would know about you, and would know to pass the information on to you for confirmation before they took action. I would expect a SmartAssistant to do the same.

My concern with curbing Apple’s anti-competitive platform abuse is that they will pivot away from privacy into advertising/surveillance to make up for the lost revenue. Maybe as a consumer I’m better off leaving their ATM machine alone for now.

If I work in a place where the data security practices are abysmal, where we have not been hacked and ransomed/extorted purely because nobody has bothered, I would definitely want to make sure that my access to any systems is revoked once I am no longer employed. I would not want to be anywhere close to a ticking bomb.

How would this even work? The only plausible way I could think it that there's a 360 degree camera mounted court side and you can control the view by turning your head. But it would be entirely non-immersive because moving your upper body in any walk would immediately break the illusion. If the idea is just a court side camera I don't see what benefit the big headset is adding?
In the alternate view, the k^2 isn't there any more. Not because we are computing a different number, but because we're organizing the computation differently.

(It's turned into a d^2 factor, except that we then need to treat the red=blue case differently from the red!=blue case, so it's really a d factor plus a d^2-d factor.)

And yes, the last bit of the proof is exactly the same thing as one way to prove that the sum of "even" and "odd" binomial coefficients are equal -- provided n>0. (For the (0 choose whatever) case, the "even" sum is 1 and the "odd" sum is 0.)
There's already talk about nationalizing large models and clusters Manhattan project style.

But even taking that with a very large grain of salt, doesn't it seem like a no-brainer to want to incentivize at least some LLM development to happen in Europe as well?
The point isn't that black swans don't have causes. The point is that nobody is expecting those particular causes at all when the event happens, due to prior assumptions being wrong.
That's one thing that's maybe an inconvenience for me now! I'll have to run my heat pumps in the early morning to lower (or raise) the temperature of the house before the cost of power goes up. Though maybe also more efficient in the summer, since I suspect it's less energy intensive to cool the house when it's cooler outside.
I don’t know if I necessarily agree with eye for an eye mentality, but risk of prison or enough money that it makes you actually consider your decisions, seems like a better path.

I always suspected YouTube pays attention at ad breakes because every time they would dare starting a video with 40/50 seconds of unskippable ads (happens on the tv app only, they never dared on desktop/laptop) I just exit the video, reopen it (or another), and I'm served for a goos hour 15 to 25 second ad max.

And yes, I went for Premium which I find outrageously expensive.
More recent research [0] suggests that the Botai horses are Przewalski horses that were hunted, not domesticated.

The apparent bit damage is explainable by natural wear. Also, the age/sex distribution of the horse remains don't fit with what you would expect from a domestic herd, none of them showed signs of having been ridden, some had been shot with arrows, and the evidence of horses having been kept in pens and horse milk stored for consumption was weaker than first thought.

All I can read from this article is "the end of mathematics is on the horizon". Hopefully nothing he says actually materializes.
Sure, VSCode is awesome for almost everything to code and I use it every day, yet dotnet development, especially for winforms (no support at all), debugging, testing and decompile nuget DLLs (just not possible atm) is horrible.
Beside that, for many things you have to tackle problems different because vscode start apps of various kinds (azure functions, maui, ...) not as visual studio.
Visual Studio with Resharper could be "replaced" with Jetbrains Rider but they are sometimes behind Microsofts development cycle and also have the windows dependency for certain features (maui, winforms, ..).

I guess it would be ok to have a windows VM with visual studio to code eg. Winforms and run everything else with vscode/rider?
I use visual studio since 22 years and I really like it. Maybe I could ger used to use vscode/rider and live with workarounds?
> The issue is caused by using the + operator with the channel Int and a String literal. Thanks to the standard library’s 17 overloads of + and 9 types adopting the ExpressibleByStringLiteral Protocol, the swift compiler can’t rule out that there might be a combination of types and operators that make the expression valid, so it has to try them all. Just considering that the five string literals could be one of the possible nine types results in 59,049 combinations, but I suspect that’s a lower bound, since it doesn’t consider the many overloads of +.

This really seems like a design flaw. If there are 59,049 overloads for string concatenation, surely either

- one of them should be expressive enough to allow concatenation with an integer, which we can do after all in some other languages

- or, the type system should have some way to express that no type reachable by concatenating subtypes of String can ever get concatenated to an integer.

Is this unreasonable? Probably there's some theorem about why I'm wrong.

This is a perfect example of “I’m sure it will work itself out naturally.” It’s going to continue happening and it really just makes me more confident in the process around reviews and science in general.

While I agree that many people visit two regions of the same country, I think few of us would display word choice patterns reflecting the US, England, and Australia within a single piece. Could it happen? Sure. But LLMs won't have the bias towards likely combinations, except inasmuch as that's represented in training data.
The async question is actually really interesting - and gets at a few things Swift does very differently from some other languages.

Normal languages just sort of call functions on threads - and use locks when there is contention. You certainly can write the same sort of code in Swift - but that is not how async functions work.

The issue with locks is that waiting on a lock could be expensive - depending on the type of lock. And it also ties up the thread. If you have a thread pool you could end up with a lot of threads getting tied up in locks.

Async functions are suspendible. When they encounter a data hazard - the thread is released and allowed to go work on something else. When the conflict clears the function is picked back up and execution continues. Note: the way this is designed means that a _different_ thread may continue execution of the async function, and async functions should assume that they may change threads during execution. But this does prevent stalled threads just waiting on some condition. The compiler needs to extra notation to know your function has been designed around this sort of operation.

Basically: Async functions are not normal functions - they're allowed to be suspendible and may change threads mid execution - hence the extra notation. This improves both performance and safety.

It's a networked, voice-activated kitchen kitchen timer, but it's a shitty one.

Suppose I put a roast in the oven and retire to my office to do something completely unrelated to cooking, where I cannot hear what happens in the kitchen.

One would think that I could set a timer in the kitchen and have it notify me wherever I am -- in the office, in the living room, on my pocket computer, on my desktop PC, or maybe even all of these things.

"Alexa, set a timer for two hours and notify me everywhere" seems like a perfectly cromulent thing to do.

But it isn't that way. Timers follow Vegas rules: Timers that that start in the kitchen stay in the kitchen -- they cannot be heard anywhere else.

It's not superior in any functional way to the old dumb digital timer on my oven, which has a VFD and a rotary encoder to set a timer.

(Which, by the way, has really marvelous ramps and responsiveness for that encoder -- it's silly-fast and efficient to give that knob a twist and dial in exactly what I want for a timer. Adjusting the clock for DST or whatever is equally fast and straightforward.

Except, fucking perplexingly: Alexa can notify me in the office when my oven timer beeps in the kitchen. This works fine.

All that is clear is that there is nobody steering this fucking ship.)
Apple is already doing this anyway. Their shtick is privacy, but they still locally collect data on you and use it to serve ads in the App Store, and I believe a few other surfaces like News and Stocks. The idea of the "if you're not the customer you're the product" dichotomy is fallacious. Any profit-motivated company will do everything it can to make money. Charge you upfront the maximum you're willing to pay. Spy on you to sell your attention to advertisers. Charge you in regular intervals the maximum the market will bear. If they're not already exploiting an avenue it's either because (a) they haven't gotten around to spinning up a business unit for it yet or (b) because their strategy is such that it would harm their revenue more than benefit it. Apple isn't going to shed its privacy marketing or privacy-oriented features. It is going to build richer user profiles and sell more attention to advertisers, whether they maintain control of app distribution on iOS or not.

The article briefly mentions all of the North Texas locations closed a week ago when the franchisee that owned them declared Chapter 7. Alamo Corporate immediately vowed to find a new franchise owner who would reopen. I hope Sony does something about this. I live down the street from one of the Dallas locations and, along with live music, this was effectively the out-of-house social life for me and my wife. Alamo was in the midst of a retrospective of anniversary re-releases, showing films from 1999 (which was our high school graduation year), then going back every five years until 1974. It was currently on 1989 and we were supposed to see Do The Right Thing this weekend. We've been there three to four times a month every month this year. The app still works, but listings were all deleted and tickets we already paid for are gone. The franchisee who closed the locations released a statement basically saying fuck yourselves. Nobody got any refunds. 600 employees were let go with no notice. The doors were simply locked and a paper sign put up.
> TL;DR PowerInfer is a CPU/GPU LLM inference engine leveraging activation locality for your device.
I think we're just going to have to agree to disagree. I personally think it's simpler to continue to refer to "Chelsea Manning" as "Bradley Manning" with he/him, even if they decided later to completely change their identity. Close friends can call them "Chelsea" out of respect, but society should not rewrite history to erase all traces of "Bradley" in order to accommodate one individual's mental health struggles. I find (the history rewriting) to be extremely confusing and, frankly, Orwellian. That said, if I'm interacting with a trans person that prefers some name/pronouns, I will use them out of respect, even if I fundamentally disagree with a lot of trans activism.
I never said 'yes' to any of those prompts.

The hyperbollocks marketingspeak in the summary paragraph put me off:

"The key insight of PowerInfer-2 is to utilize the heterogeneous computation, memory, and I/O resources in smartphones by decomposing traditional matrix computations into fine-grained neuron cluster computations. Specifically, PowerInfer-2 features a polymorphic neuron engine that adapts computational strategies for various stages of LLM inference. Additionally, it introduces segmented neuron caching and fine-grained neuron-cluster-level pipelining, which effectively minimize and conceal the overhead caused by I/O operations."

Ahem, what? Let's overload a biological construct "neuron" to imbue it with magical technopowers and then derive the rest of our BS from this. No sale.

> so yes a subset of nodes and also circumventing user diffusion (which sounds like traffic analysis right up the NSAs alley, or a court order to whatever third party Apple has providing the service).

How does traffic analysis help? The client picks the server to send the query to, and encrypts with that particular server's private key. I guess maybe your have the load balancer identify the target and only provide compromised servers to it? But then every single load balancer has to have the list of targeted individuals and compromised servers, which seems problematic for secrecy at scale.

I'm guessing it's because they think that even with a custom domain, some deep headless-Chrome-scraper-based OF-link scanning (or just human flagging!) will catch on and get them blocked within a few weeks anyway. Which would make the $10/yr for a custom domain, more like $10 per time-you-get-caught.

It's the same reason that scammers/spammers rely on these services: the only hosting you can "acquire scalably" is free subdomain hosting.

(Now, why they don't use something like a Google Doc, that can't be blocked based on its URL and can't easily be text-extracted by a scraping bot? I have no idea.)
Interestingly, I would venture to say that DPI is a measure of resolution: that's the way it's still used in printers or scanners, for example (600 dpi). And retina instead means high angular resolution, or pixels having small arc measures from "appropriate" distances.

The term "resolution" transitioned gradually to mean number-of-individual-lines-rendered horizontally and vertically for displays, but really, the idea is how many dots can you "resolve" (or "resolving power"): a "high resolution" screen or screen mode had a larger number of individual pixels being drawn, which meant that the density is higher. You never talk about a scanner having a resolution of 7200x3600 even if it can scan 12"x6" at 600dpi.

So really, in an informal conversation, I believe both are fine. If you want to be extremely precise, you missed the mark: width and height in pixels is the sanest way to call what you refer to as "resolution".

This is wrong. Completely. Russia never negotiated in good faith. The only goal of these negotiations were an attempt to force very unfavorable terms on Ukraine - taking Ukrainian land and forcing them to destroy all their defence capacity without any warranty of no future invasion. Ukraine was never going to take such deal - no Westerner was needed to tell that. This is what people actually knowledgeable about the negation have revealed.

The problem is that Western media picks too easily up even the most stupid Russian narratives.
The haskell source has `let channel = "11"` vs `let channel = 11`. The example from the post is an example that looks like it should be pretty straight forward but the swift compiler falls over when you try it.

Trying it locally for example:

# Original example
$ time swiftc -typecheck - <<-HERE
let address = "127.0.0.1"
let username = "steve"
let password = "1234"
let channel = 11

let url = "http://" + username
+ ":" + password
+ "@" + address
+ "/api/" + channel
+ "/picture"

print(url)

HERE
<stdin>:6:5: error: the compiler is unable to type-check this expression in reasonable time; try breaking up the expression into distinct sub-expressions
4 | let channel = 11
5 |
6 | let url = "http://" + username
| `- error: the compiler is unable to type-check this expression in reasonable time; try breaking up the expression into distinct sub-expressions
7 | + ":" + password
8 | + "@" + address
swiftc -typecheck - <<<'' 36.38s user 1.40s system 96% cpu 39.154 total

# Adding a type to one of the expression values
$ time swiftc -typecheck - <<-HERE
let address = "127.0.0.1"
let username = "steve"
let password = "1234"
let channel = 11

let url = "http://" + username
+ ":" + password
+ "@" + address
+ "/api/" + String(channel)
+ "/picture"

print(url)

HERE
swiftc -typecheck - <<<'' 0.11s user 0.03s system 74% cpu 0.192 total

Which is roughly the in line with the numbers in the original post.
