I assume that's because wear leveling is something that would be implemented purely in software, so there's no much point having such info in a hardware manual.

it’s harder than we thought so we leveraged machine learning to grow it, rather than creating it symbolically. The leaps in the last 5 years are far beyond anything in the prior half century, and make predictions of near term AGI much more than a “boy who cries wolf” scenario to anyone really paying attention.

I don’t understand how your second paragraph follows. It just seems to be whining that text and art generative models are easier than a fully fledged servant humanoid, which seems like a natural consequence of training data availability and deployment cost.
Yeah it really is for tiny chips. It is fabulous learning experience though, which is also the purpose of the project. Maybe in a few years we will have Smalltapeout where we can do microcontroller/microprocessor grade in the same way.
First they forced to change their own devices' charging ports, now they are forcing to make changes to their own platform again on their own devices.

What's next? Just force Tim Cook to sell the company to EU legislators?

I'm not a fan of Apple as a company but this is getting beyond ridiculous. A government or a similar body should not have a right over a company's own products' design and how things work, anyone can pick between buying an iPhone or not buying an iPhone if they prefer not to. It should be people's choice, not EU's.
I've been sedentary and am now pretty active. Without a shadow of a doubt, my quality of life, mental clarity, energy, etc, are all improved relative to my past. Physical fitness is only one axis, and compared to actual athletes I'm a total turd. I only compete against myself and we all have our limitations, but yes, if you improve your fitness along one pretty significant axis, you are superior (all else being equal).

It's important to remember that all else is _not_ equal though. The totality of a human being can't be measured by any one form of aptitude, but most people would be better versions of themselves if they read more, exercised more, had better diet, were more introspective, engaged in some 'spiritual' practice that reinforced humility and charity, etc.

Someone who meditates is probably better than me on that particular axes. I don't seem to have an aptitude or patience for it, at least not yet. Maybe that means I need it all the more. Maybe some day...

Started a career in ML/AI years before ChatGPT changed everything.

At the time, we only used the term AI if we referred more than just machine/deep learning techniques to create models or research something (thinks operations research, Monte Carlo simulations, etc).
But it started to change already.

I think startups and others will realise to make a product successful, you will need clean data and data engineers, the rest will fill follow. Fundamentals first.

All the startups trying to sell "AI" to traditional industries: good luck!

Amusingly, for every single political example you gave, I've heard "think of the children" from both directions.
In manufacturing, maybe you haven't done ISO9000 but you've heard of it and have all sorts of regulated documentation as a baseline - a "bias for writing process details down" that is absent in a bunch of other industries, with software at the top of the list. "Documentation // it is written by strangers // throw it in the trash" is a software haiku that I keep running into (not as a policy or anything, just a recurring meme about how bad/uninformative/absent software docs generally are.)

This article is about how Instagram enables [sometimes paid!] access to children. It is good that we both agree that that is what happened here, on Instagram, in this case. You also agree that the people buying access to this child, in this case, on Instagram, are adult men.

Somehow you have an issue with the mother and the child doing something but in the same breath say

> The article entirely fails to do that. [“That” being enabling child predators]

If Instagram didn’t facilitate access to child predators then… what happened here?

And finally (this is a question for literally any person reading this other than akira2501) how did you read this article and arrive at “I should post that I would want to see the pictures before I render judgment about the platform”?

Copilot isn't underwhelming, it's shit. What's impressive is how Microsoft managed to gut GPT-4 to the point of near-uselessness. It refuses to do work even more than OpenAI models refuse to advise on criminal behavior. In my experience, the only thing it does well is scan documents on corporate SharePoint. For anything else, it's better to copy-paste to a proper GPT-4 yourself.

(Ask Office Copilot in PowerPoint to create you a slide. I dare you! I double dare you!!)

The problem with demos is that they're staged, they showcase integrations that are never delivered, and probably never existed. But you know what's not hype and fluff? The models themselves. You could hack a more useful Copilot with AutoHotkey, today.

I have GPT-4o hooked up as a voice assistant via Home Assistant, and what a breeze that is. Sure, every interaction costs me some $0.03 due to inefficient use of context (HA generates too much noise by default in its map of available devices and their state), but I can walk around the house and turn devices on and off by casually chatting with my watch, and it work, works well, and works faster than it takes to turn on Google Assistant.

So no, I honestly don't think AI advances are oversold. It's just that companies large and small race to deploy "AI-enabled" features, no matter how badly made they are.

That's not how it works in Europe, and for good reasons, too.
"They are not stupid."

Some are, those are caught.

But those who are not, learned to be very sneaky. They have to hide their dark side ALL the time. That is a pretty intense training in terms of operational security.

And the solution to this is probably not technical, but social. People could get to know their neighbors more.

My experience with those guys is, it still shows, if you pay attention. But if you are sure your neighbor is not a pedo, then it is one more person you can trust to keep a lookout for the dangerous types. You know, classic community building stuff.
"I'd rather get on with some actual work than create a stupid document about me to pander to management's latest whim-du-jour."

I guess it hasn't occurred to them that most introverts would hate having to write about themselves in this way, and a reasonable subset wouldn't be interested in reading what the extroverts have to say about themselves either.

A far better approach is to not have any preconceived ideas about your colleagues, and discover how you interact best as and when the need arises. There isn't a one-size-fits-all approach for how different people should interact with an individual.

Phones are computers. They are for running software, according to the will of the user.

You can't allow people to make products with lock-in and control over the software etcetera. It was iffy even when it was gaming consoles, but people have these things with them all day and use them for communication, payments and all sorts of things, and they need to be able to control those things themselves.

This means standards, repairability, freedom to run whatever software your like, root access, etc.

If anything the EU measures don't go far enough, being so focused on the market aspects.

Swish is the one that solved this problem for me. Feels similar to Loop and Penc, but is primarily trackpad-driven, but also customizable with modifier keys for additional functions. I wish it had more updates, but at least its core features have worked reliably.

I guess we shall see how China's HTR enterprise goes. The Germans had a lot of problems with the AVR and the THTR. Probably part or why they ditched nuclear altogether. They also tend to overengineer things and add too much unecessary complexity, which is exactly what they did with the THTR. I'm also quite skeptic of carbon moderated reactors, the graphite blocks tend to crack, the pebbles create dust which can block the coolant flow and the graphite reflectors also crack and get contaminated with Cs/Sr.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pebble-bed_reactor

I saw the 4500 US$/kW cost figure for the HTR-PM. For the record, the AP1000 cost the Chinese around $2,000/kW in overnight capital costs (for the Sanmen and Haiyang plants). In the US the AP1000 construction costs are currently estimated around $6,800/kW and $4,500/kW for the following installed 10th unit.

> A government or a similar body should not have a right over a company's own products' design and how things work

They don't. They only have the right to create laws, and that's what they do.

If you didn't have a law saying that you can't kill people, maybe iPhone would come with a feature that discharges its battery so you get shocked and die. But it's forbidden by law, so they don't have this feature.

There's absolutely no difference with the charging port or the openness of the software.

> It should be people's choice, not EU's.

The people's choice to be... locked out of the most popular charging port? I guarantee you the people's choice aligns with EU for all matter related to Apple.

"he considered his opinions and advice of low value on that subject."

"perfectly valid and supported-by-evidense opinion"

He was clearly holding an invalid, incorrect opinion and supported the Putin state position that allowed a better chance of a surprise coup on Kyiv.

Educated geopol and intel circles already knew about the impending invasion months before, a very major "how the world works" event. That he was so crassly wrong, months after it was obvious, should be a stark lesson to you that Snowden does not in fact know "how the world works." and you should appropriately downgrade his opinion on such matters. If you did not know about this invasion in 2021, your intel sources and analysis are also garbage like Snowdens.

But it sounds like you'll twist anything to support your preconceived notions, even when confronted with the obvious contradictions. Try again
I know. For simplicity, I was talking about the plants in the same generic sense that your gut microbiome is a part of you, and the dead tissues that form your hair and skin are also a part of you.

You still need to hack up the eg cereal plants so they can actually engage in that symbiotic relationship (or perhaps actually directly fix nitrogen all by themselves, without any outside help at all).

Here's a potentially relevant quote from "The Man Who Solved the Market" by Gregory Zuckerman[0].

"One day, a data-entry error caused the fund to purchase five times as many wheat-futures contracts as it intended, pushing prices higher. Picking up the next day’s Wall Street Journal, sheepish staffers read that analysts were attributing the price surge to fears of a poor wheat harvest, rather than Renaissance’s miscue. [...] “Any time you hear financial experts talking about how the market went up because of such and such—remember it’s all nonsense,” [Peter] Brown [CEO of Renaissance Technologies] later would say."

It is 100% the parents responsibility to have an active enough role in their Child's life to know who they're interacting with and to provide appropriate supervision. If your child is getting addicted to something, it's because they've been enabled, perhaps through their friends devices or what have you.

You cannot push the burden of being a responsible parent on people who do not wish to be your childrens parent. Society owes you places they can go that they are safe, not padded walls on every sharp corner they might bump into -- that's baby proofing, and it has to be done at home.

I know what you mean. I have a bit of a contrary streak I have to be mindful of that sometimes makes me be less receptive to certain things than I should be.

Meditation and yoga are two practices that I've never managed to make myself try earnestly because of the aesthetics, evangelism, and just a hesitance towards anything that has an air of 'spirituality' that a lot of western practitioners tend to employ.

I don't have a problem doing 'mobility work' and stretching and various exercises to make myself less injury prone, but yoga somehow is just beyond the pale. Our preconceptions are almost even weirder when we're consciously aware that they're probably silly, but abide by them anyway.

Most of these high tech drones are from DJI (check out the Agra lineup).

The DMA is about competition law, and EU doctrine is about consumer benefits and market fairness. Apple can't be exempt from that.
So you expect persons to write a personal user manual. Have you seen what happens to normal docs?

And who has this complete picture of oneself that is not obscured by the lies that we tell about ourselves? The self-deception and the imposter syndromes that we foster?

I guess these manuals will be outdated sooner than the regular docs - and if your staff has time on their hands to write and maintain them, you might be running an adult daycare center!

You can’t really get rid of those paths without breaking things (e.g. since /usr/bin/env is usually hardcoded in shebangs), but symlinking them together is a practical way of effectively merging them.

The `local` does. It is were
These were popular at my workplace maybe seven years ago, and while I was into the idea at first, IMO it was impractical most of the time. Turns out it's a pretty unreasonable burden to place on people that they should read and follow instructions in a document in order to communicate with someone and to personalize their work approach for every person they interact with.

The main context these make sense in is when written by a manager (or maaybe by a direct report for their manager). They can be useful to establish expectations for a team around things like "is it ok to message me on the weekend" and "here's what you should have prepared for our 1:1s".
The next line of thinking to this is that nobody is forcing Apple to sell their devices in the EU.

The people of EU have decided through their votes that they will delegate consumer devices compliance rules to bodies orchestrating manoeuvres like this one. This comes with the benefit of knowing that someone's forcing companies that want to sell you widgets to go through various hoops that will supposedly make the widgets better for you.

If consumers want to outsource less protections from widget vendors and let Apple do its thing, they can vote for it.

The "next token" thing is literally true, but it might turn out to be a red herring, because emergence is a real phenomenon. Like how with enough NAND-gates daisy-chained together you can build any logic function you like.

Gradually, as these LLM next-token predictors are set up recursively, constructively, dynamically, and with the right inputs and feedback loops, the limitations of the fundamental building blocks become less important. Might take a long time, though.
