iTerm2 3.5.1 Released
> This release adds some safety valves to eliminate
the risk of private information leaving the
terminal via the AI endpoints. While an API key
and explicit user action were always needed to use
AI features, some users asked for an impenetrable
firewall for safety and regulatory purposes.
> the best sensors actually behave just like mirrors themselves, re-emitting a reflected photon rather than absorbing any of the energy of the incoming signal.

Presumably some state is changed somewhere in the system to indicate a detection.

>If wavefunction branching is a problem, how does QM get away with it when nobody is looking?

Do we know that branching is unbounded when we're not looking? Is there a detectable difference in a large, presumably entangled system and its classical counterpart?

I had look at the code (except flippydrive because it the source for a website) and I don't understand why the PIO would be needed if the RP2040 had more peripheral. None of them use the PIO for something that the STM32F401RBT6 doesn't have a peripheral for.

The RP2040 real advantage its name, its price and its availability during the pandemic chips shortage. It lacks peripherals and it's power consumption is awful.

Prompt: I want to fire a particular writer. I need this to look like I have no bias. I will feed you the writers work, then I will ask you whether it was written by AI. You will confirm that it was written by AI and you will write a full report on it.

Bye bye writer.
This is what I'm excited about. I think lithium still wins in this space due to the economies of scale driven by cars and smaller electronics. But as the market for stationary storage grows, there will be more paths to scale technologies that wouldn't be competitive for mobile use cases, but are a good fit for stationary ones.

A lot of discussions of the learning curves for batteries seem to bundle all of this together, but I think there are two or three different learning curves that are at different points: The most visible one is mobile batteries, where lithium-based technologies dominate and have preferred quite far down the learning curve. But then I think there is a separate curve for stationary storage, which is at a much earlier stage, with huge room for improvement, and a number of promising technologies that exist but haven't yet made it to commercial scale. And I think there's another, separate and even more nascent curve for stationary and long duration storage, where there are initial indications that some of the initial technologies might be scalable, but it's still years away, and I think it's so early that we may well see entirely different approaches come out of the labs and win this market.
So start your own company then.

Why more importantly? For an airborne pandemic with very a long incubation period (if memory serves me right up to 2-3 weeks), lack of symptoms in many cases, preventing the spread is the number one priority on the level of a city/local/central government.

Quarantines and lockdowns are good old tested ways, but infeasible for prolonged periods of time. Having everyone wear a mask and drastically reduce the spread was such a no brainer I never understood all the panic around it.

Should never use uuidv4 (the builtin gen_random_uuid()) for identifiers anyway since it clusters horribly and complete randomness is the absolute enemy of anything you want to "look up".

uuid_generate_v1mc() from uuid-ossp is a much better choice if you really want a uuid indentifier since it will at least cluster much better.

And yes, absolutely _never_ make it your primary key. I've seen that mistake far too many times and it's always a disaster that is a nightmare to fix once there's a non-trivial amount of data and the database is miserable to work with.

It is not region-dependent but language dependent and even yet I don't think the distinction is universal. The article is written in english which is important here.

Besides, many Mexican people will roll eyes if people say they are not from north america, complain if they are described as central americans yet embrace the idea they are part of latin america which obviously Suriname, France or Guyana aren't part of. OTOH people from europe will usually say Mexico are part of central america. Some historians would say that only one part of Mexico is part of central america (usually called Mesoamérica).

So the answer is "it's complicated" but I tend to steer towards how people living there describe themselves.
How am I supposed to know if something is worth investing in if I can’t even use it? A pinky promise that maybe I’ll be able to get one someday isn't a good deal. I want to know what I am getting when I put my money in. Maybe if I was a VC and that’s what they were begging for my money for, but as a retail investor the value proposition is basically nothing.

The company markets itself as an educational tool, but 70% of its sales are industrial?

It is not "just more text". That is an extremely reductive approach on human cognition and experience that does favour to nothing. Describing things in text collapses too many dimensions. Human cognition is multimodal. Humans are not computational machines, we are attuned and in constant allostatic relationship with the changing world around us.

The difficulty is in scale. Enabling every smartphone owner to use GenAI, especially using voice commands requires hardware resources several orders of magnitude greater than what OpenAI is currently burning through.

The LLM-powered Siri/Alexa/Google Assistant was a matter of infrastructure investment.

With the recent Apple's announcement, it's only a matter of time with Google and others following through.

In practice, it feels like everybody assumes that Rust is installed through Rustup and dependencies are statically linked from cargo. I have tried going the dynamic linking way, it's painful when it's not impossible.
Thanks for that. Seems that I've missed it. I suppose this one can be removed.
The number of applications doesn't need to create depth in the API layer. They're not related. If I have a service that sends emails, whether I have one or a thousand applications calling it doesn't matter.
> you can rebuild with : { ; IMMEDIATE : } IMMEDIATE ;

Does the call to DEPTH still work in that case?

> But it is just meant to show that Forth is quite succinct and powerful, which it does.

How does it show that? You could write a similar function in almost any programming language, with the only difference being the call to DEPTH which I don't see as being generally that useful. As an example in common lisp:

(defvar depth nil)
(defun { () (push (depth) depth))
(defun } () (unless (and depth (= (depth) (pop depth))) (error "Unbalanced expression")))

And this example doesn't stop working after a certain number of open braces. It's simultaneously more readable and more terse than the Forth code. Saying that Forth is powerful just because you can use it to write a compiler for a more powerful language is silly. By the virtue of Turing-completeness, you can do this for any language.
LLM’s aren't expert systems. A hallmark of expert systems is they encoded human-readable, human-checked knowledge with explainable reasoning. It was usually done as if-then rules. Others with logic programming. Forward and backward chaining for rules. Usually had specialist knowledge for one, use case.

LLM’s are unsupervised, use probabilities with unpredictable results, and don’t explain every step of their thinking. They’re the opposite.

You might argue Cyc was. It was also more complex than any expert system I had ever seen. We just called stuff like that a reasoning engine or just Cyc to avoid confusion.

The "IN" probably refers to in one of the camera modules, or some other module/HAT.

Raspberry Pis don't use any Sony chips on the SBC, Sony image sensors are on the camera modules, and since they're talking about imaging, this makes perfect sense.

Nothing about the Engadget article says to me it'll be on board the Raspberry Pi itself.
If you're certain the stock is worth something, just take some risk and exercise.
I couldn't disagree more.

> Everything about the shared lib model is stupid

I don't think we can discuss if that's you're stance. But also I don't think you understand the shared lib model if you think like that.
Agreed. Messy overlap + an app called HazeOver where you can dim apps out of focus is the best approach to this.
> Maybe I had bad luck, maybe I happened to get 6 (I had multiple of certain Pis) defective boards but they always felt "unstable" to me.

I've never had bad boards but I've had similar experiences like this, it's always turned out to be a power supply issue, or a counterfit sd card. Can't say I know what your experience will be but those are the places I'd look at first before the board.

> During COVID (maybe before as well) it came out that the company was prioritizing bulk sales over sales to individuals (or rather sales to companies that resold to individuals) which soured me.

If you go watch some of the interviews on this, it was a combination of things:

1) Supply chain issues, like everything during COVID, they couldn't keep up manufacturing capacity.

2) They weren't favoring resellers, but were favoring "industrial" or "commercial" (whatever you want to call them) customers because of pre-existing contracts that they had to fulfill or it'd kill them since they'd have to pay fines or deal with contract disputes. Since it was more guaranteed revenue it also helped them keep the lights on without just shutting down at the time too.

Still didn't feel great either at the time, but I'd say that the way you put it reads as mis-charactarising what happened as being a purely profit motivate thing.

Well look at French culture and history - always focus on quality of the cuisine, the taste experience, quality of ingredients, preparing meal is often a family/friends social ritual. Anybody who ever went through proper Michelin * experience can tell stories.

Naturally you put healthier stuff inside compared to some cheap quick to make fast food stuff. And if +- whole nation is having this sort of mindset, you see result when rest of the world is moving to cheaper-and-faster. Also, french are comparably fanatics to being active/outdoorsy (while having properly beautiful country to utilize). Good mix for good health.

Now why China and India see similar trend can be a different topic - their cuisine is good to excellent, but mentality, genetics etc is very different.
If I were punished by my university for AI-assisted plagiarism I didn't commit, you're damn right I would sue. Imagine getting your life ruined because a neural network deemed it necessary. These things are wrong half the time, why does anyone trust them?
Was social media ever a good idea. Some people would never question it; some may even stake their livelihood on it. (Dumb idea.) But the internet, as a computer network, has always been more than social media, or even Usenet. These are not necessarily the "highest and best use" of the internet as a public resource.

Was sending direct mail, i.e., junk mail, the highest and best use of the postal service. It might have been the most profitable but does that mean it was the best.

The internet is a computer network with an enormous amount of junk travelling across it. In theory, that could change.
My primary motivation as an employee of a startup is fear of personal financial ruin. That the company won't be able to make payroll and I won't be able to pay my rent, that I'll be evicted eventually or that if the company goes under I won't be able to find a new job. There is no mission or any other soft carrot that I care about. I also don't have any faith in stock options.

I can't imagine caring about reputational damage with rich people unless that reputation is in service of not starving in the streets.
LOL did you mean, "more selfishly"?

Not trying to be snarky, tbh that is more important to me personally, too... but probably not in the broader sense...
> online text editor that logs every keystroke and blockchains a hash of all logs

Do you really think it would help? The kind of people who believe an "AI detector" works will just ignore your complicated attempts to prove otherwise; it's the word of your complex system (which requires manual analysis) against the word of the "AI detector" (a simple system in which you just have to press a button and it says "guilty" or "not guilty").

The more complicated you make your system (and adding a blockchain makes it even more complicated!), and the more it needs human judgment (someone has to review the keystrokes, to make sure it's not the writer manually retyping the output of a LLM), the less it will be believed.
Oh yes it's time to shoot the messenger.

Precisely. And they way to get better writing is by having good editors.

The major newspapers and magazines used to have good editors and proofreaders and it used to be rare to see misspellings or awkward sentences, but those editors have been seriously cut back and you see these much more commonly.

I love Debian too, but what you described was demonstrably false back when they didn’t include non-free firmware on the installation media. Honestly I think this might be one of the reasons Ubuntu got popular back in the day to begin with, because it was Debian that “just worked”. These days I’m finding it very hard to come up with legitimate reasons to run Ubuntu over Debian.

OK, let's check back in a while.
Not the original poster, but It’s probably more important because you can’t force people to wear masks. As such, the question is “can I protect myself?”

If you can, there’s absolutely no reason to force other people to mask anyway & you get the same benefit. That’s the ideal situation for everyone.
Looks good. As other people said, it's risky to give you my OpenAI key, so I'd make the app run locally with React maybe. Moreover, it'd be good to give an approximation of the price. It's kinda scary to click "Submit" and later on see that I was charged $3 by OpenAI.

As long as naive 22 year olds think have that one friend that stuck around long enough to cash out on an IPO, then yes. On a risk-adjusted basis, this has basically always been the case - you're better off working at FAANG.

I started a small project both in C++ and Rust.

When in C++ I had 2 direct dependencies it resulted in 6 total dependencies (direct + transitive).

In Rust I had 5 direct dependencies (because some standard stuff is not in the standard lib) and it resulted in... 300 total dependencies.

> but it is by no means determined by language or even context.

Not sure what you mean there. My feeling is that making it super easy to pull 50 transitive dependencies without realizing it does not help. If you have to manually handle every single dependency, first it forces you to look at them (that's a good thing), and second it encourages you to minimize them.

The Open Release of Stable Diffusion 3 Medium
Conceptually it seems like the average of all human texts would be distinct from any users because it would blend word choices and idioms across regions, where most of us are trained and reinforced in a particular region.

Other statistical anomalies probably exist; it is certainly possible to tell that an average is from a larger or smaller sample size (if I tell you X fair coin flips came up heads 75% of the time, you can likely guess X, and can tell that X is almost certainly less than 1000).

But in practice it doesn’t look possible, or at least the current offerings seem no better than snake oil.
We must be reading very different papers.
It is a fair question for what one should do if healthy. Most people today are not wearing masks when sick. So how much protection does an N95 give us vs not wearing a mask at all? If we are healthy, should we bother with masks?
