I don't think you realize the sheer scale of people that are working their asses off to leverage AI in their work in creative ways, often times bending over backwards to get it to work.

I spent 48 hours two weeks back (with only a few hours of sleep) making an AI film. I used motion capture, rotoscoping, and a whole host of other tools to accomplish this.

I know people who have spent months making AI music videos. People who painstakingly mask and pose skeletons. People who design and comp shots between multiple workflows.

These are tools.
I wonder when those stopped being commonly stuck in seatback pockets. They used to be pretty much as universal as the safety card. I don't know the last time that I've seen one. (I'm sure flight attendants have a stash but they're not automatically at the seat any longer as far as I can tell.)

Wonder if I still have any in my travel memorabilia I have going back many decades.
Why should we turn information into a "product", introducing scarcity where none is required? It's just a misguided attempted to force every part of society into a capitalist system, regardless of whether it makes any sense. It will probably fail in the long run anyway, since who wants to pay for something that they can get for free, even it involves circumventing the rules. How many here would pay $30 to take a casual look at a journal article, when they could get it from Sci-Hub?

If we are sticking with a mostly capitalist system so that money is so important to get things created, then a government can provide some for this purpose (and they often do already). It's not like they don't borrow or print money in whatever quantity is needed.

I suspect that it's the same issue that has led certain neoliberals and libertarians to denying that various forms of pollution are a problem. There's just no way that it can be fixed within capitalism, so better just deny that there's any problem at all.
> What is the alternative to the access problem?

I don’t have a perfect solution, but I also don’t have billions in the bank and lots of employees tasked to the issue.

One popup with a list of apps and their permissions would at least be a one stop shop, but even that wouldn’t be great on a new machine setup as your apps aren’t all there yet.
The problem with XML is that most tools around 2000-2010 used it for everything, including simple configuration files and even DSLs (the Maven v1 XML was a nightmare to maintain).

However, there are features of XML that are very useful for a document format like SVG. One of them is namespaces. For example, you can create an SVG and add custom metadata in another namespace, and then any viewer who uses a decent XML parser will show it without issues. That’s not possible with JSON, as there is no guarantee that an unknown key will pass. (although I prefer a simple format like JSON or TOML for config files)
MacOS has been no exception to the enshittification trend, but Windows has always led by piles of shit, and is now shitting laps around the competition. Apple is trying to sell Apple to you. Microshit is selling you.
Isn‘t „until end of July“ definite?
They aren’t updates, but a new Mac is not completely ready to go and nag free.
So, we have rspack, turbopack and now Farm, all written in Rust.

There is also Vite, of course , which is already quite fast and very popular.

What's the differentiator between those?
> Meaning that you're not going to have people drive off while still plugged in

This is not possible.

> or not plugging in properly

This is not really a problem.

> or having otherwise damaged plugs, etc.

This is a real issue, businesses offering L2 charging as a convenience have little incentive to maintain their equipment and users often don't put the cables back in the dock when done, inviting damage. Fortunately there's already a solution widely used in other parts of the world, which is for the EVSE (the box most people call the charger that sits in between the mains and the EV and negotiates operating parameters with the actual charger in the car) to simply have a socket on it in to which a user plugs their own cable. This means there's no captive cable to be damaged, each user comes with their own that's in whatever condition they've gotten it in to, and it also makes the installs both smaller and cheaper so more spaces can be given access to power for the same cost.

SAE J3400, the standard that officially adopted the "NACS" connector, brings this to the US. It introduces the "Universal AC Socket-Outlet" where a compatible EVSE will have a J3068 connector, which is the three-phase AC charging standard and conveniently uses the same "Type 2" connector as most European EVs already have. The driver will then be expected to bring their own cable that goes from the J3068 outlet to whatever input their vehicle has, be it classic J1772, new J3400, or even a medium/heavy vehicle that natively accepts J3068 and can make use of three-phase power if available.

This means it's compatible with basically every mass production EV in North America other than the Nissan Leaf. A few of the older '90s EVs that used J1773 MagneCharge won't work either, but the Ranger EV and others that used the Avcon version of J1772 could technically be supported if someone made an appropriate cable.
If it was only a safety issue the governments in the US and EU would only need the existing legal infrastructure for car safety to regulate Chinese electric vehicles.

The US tariffs are not even officially claimed to have anything to do with safety, but everything to do with industrial competition.
Intel's Gaudi 3 will cost half the price of Nvidia's H100
It does a great job picking up voices though
I will take it on faith that you’ve seen loads of examples but I’d be particularly interested in statistics about the number of fires per vehicle produced compared to the same for vehicles from other companies. Obviously one article saying that an EV caught fire isn’t compelling as we have that here too. The problem was so bad with the Chevy Bolt EV that some of them caught fire while just sitting in people’s driveways and the entire fleet had to be recalled.

Without statistics I’m totally unmoved by even a long list of Chinese examples as the same can be produced here too. And Teslas have killed plenty of people due to faulty self driving software!
They're undercutting us by virtue of labor standards and other corners that we don't cut.
People don't just write books to profit while they are alive. They write books so their families have something to pay the bills once they die as well. Books are hard enough to write and sell successfully. The few that make it are special for the families of the writers, and you want to take them.

You're free to give away your work. Stop telling others what to do with their work and that you want to take it because they died.
They got hits, but the rockets bounced off.
Almost nobody cares about privacy or control. I wonder if there is a market there. Maybe you can make people perceive privacy as something valuable and capitalize on that and on Windows. But people mostly don't care and will put up with anything.

Oh wow. Loved coderpad prior to the sale. Just not the same since.

Please do more business related podcasts. Your indie hacker podcast are some of my favorite all time.

Are you involved at Daylight?
I’ve been really liking emacs across the 3 major OSs - pretty much works the same everywhere. The joke is that emacs itself is an OS, but it makes a decent shell. Setting save-desktop to 1 and it survives Windows reboots. Change some keybindings, get meta and control in the same location even when using MacOS.
Cool tech. The drive manufacturers are essentially marching to the drum detailed in this paper from 2016: https://research.google/pubs/disks-for-data-centers/. Multi actuators are part of it but also higher density and better tail latency.
I actually thought everyone other than linux was forcing updates at this point. Do apple devices let you shut them off?
Worth noting that background removal is built in to Preview on Macos.
How precise would the timing need to be to qualify as definite?
Simplistic version of this is just asking the question in 2 ways - ask for confirmation that the answer is no, then ask for confirmation that the answer is yes :)

If it's sure it won't confirm it both ways.
> You were arguing that this will replace all other art.

The population of people who want to create art is higher than the people who have the classical skills. By sheer volume, the former will dominate the latter. And eventually most artists will begin to use AI tools when they realize that's what they are -- tools.
> What if an author explicitly doesn't want to distribute their works or to distribute an alternative version of their works?

Too bad. Once you publish it the first time, the cat is out of the bag. Eventually it's going to go into the public domain whether you like it or not.

> And who sets the standard for readily available? If I offer my book for sale for $100 is it readily available? At what price is something no longer readily available? Does it depend on the type of book? What if it's for sale broadly but not in the state where you live? What if it's free but must be read in person and cannot be taken home with you?

Good question but can definitely be decided. $100 is probably fine. Regulators can decide. Yes. Not good enough. Not good enough.

We have frameworks for mandatory music licensing, we can do more things like that.
Quran Memorization Helper: Open source Flutter app to help huffaz revise Quran
This! I've switched to Raspberry Pi OS on a Pi 5 now that a hat lets me use an m.2 SSD drive to boot the OS off of. It's a game changer for web surfing and email. It's also pretty quick for file transfers of music and video.

As for my traditional Windows 10 machine that I game on, in the near future I'll be switching to the best Linux OS for Steam gaming. Two things made me mad enough to change: Win 11 with it's ads and other BS and I'm tired of transfer of data problems relating to both USB-3 and C plug-ins. I've had some experience with Linux, so the transition isn't a problem.
Language is for both. Every concept is tied to a label that is a word. We identify pieces of reality by their common attributes while omitting their specific measurements, and attach these identifications to a label which is a word. It is a unique ability that we have as humans, which no other animal shares. It is essential for rational thought. Communication may have been an evolutionary forcing function on our ability to conceive generally (rather than simply perceive), but communication is still downstream from having concepts to communicate.
Wealthy countries almost universally depend on immigrants in the low end of the job market. On the average, the people able and willing to migrate to another country are cheaper, better motivated, and more talented than the low end of the domestic labor pool. Without immigrants, the society would not work nearly as well and many things would be more expensive. While the US has not created sufficient legal pathways for immigration, everyone is willing to turn a blind eye to illegal immigration, as long as it doesn't get too disruptive.

Skilled and educated immigrants, on the other hand, are not essential. Their presence may be beneficial to the economy, but things won't fall apart without them. At worst, the economy will be a bit less competitive.
I haven't been there since I was a kid in the 1970s. Up to about what age would you say it's entertaining for kids these days? Is there enough to be worth a whole day?

Why aren’t we comparing to ESBuild?
I don’t really understand this logic. Are you saying that multi generational projects are… well I don’t really know what you’re saying. When the world was dominated by the divine right of kings, and changing that was going to take hundreds of years… should people not have discussed what to do to move down a better path?

My plan as a robotics engineer is to prove that open source robotics can be a viable industry by building open source farming robots (see my profile) so that a generation of children grow up understanding that community owned community built robotics are a perfectly viable option, and we don’t need venture capital for robotics infrastructure development.

There’s a generation of adults today who grew up watching Carl Sagan’s COSMOS from 1980 and are now adults working in law to combat climate change - a major call to action in his show the fruits of which Sagan would never live to see.

I fully believe that the world I advocate for will never be fully realized by the time I die. This does not discourage me from laying the ground work and having the conversations. Just as I am working on open source robotics for farming, I encourage other people to contribute to open culture so that we can some day build a better world.

In fact that’s what the people at the internet archive are doing too. Building a better future by fighting now to establish precedent and prove to people what is possible. Human lifetimes are short and I see no reason to restrict our projects to things which can be achieved today.
The entry in Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy has a good summary of the Language of Thought Hypothesis. https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/language-thought/

Jerry Fodor, who advocated an internal mental language, was seen as an old crank when I studied Linguistics in late 90s; I just looked him up and, god, he died recently in 2017. Here’s a New Yorker article from that time: https://www.newyorker.com/culture/postscript/jerry-fodors-en....
Unfortunately it happens often enough that you manage to sell the step where you make things worse, but then you never get management buy-in for the step that makes things better again.
Japan and Korea are wealthy and they don't do that. Austria and Switzerland probably don't either.
Don't forget Bun (*) ... [1]. Bun's bundler is appealing since Bun packages a bunch of other tools you already need (test runner, runtime, fast npm replacement).

Bun + Biome covers everything you need for a TS project (Biome lints and formats).

It’s pretty normal to have devices out in the elements now, it’s just a matter of how many. Yes having a device on literally every plant will probably always be overkill, unless they are so cheap and easy to replace that it doesn’t matter when one gets damaged. More likely it’d be optimal to have a device every x-number of plants - which is what’s done now but the number of devices per number of plants needs to be higher than is currently conventional to increase precision.

Having machines moving around taking readings “each day” is insufficient, as during hot conditions the soil/plant moisture changes too rapidly. You need to take readings at least once every hour or even every 30 or 15 minutes in order to be able to start irrigating immediately when the moisture level starts dropping rapidly.
Try completely removing one drive to understand the rest of our pain. Even if you manage to get the program gone, somehow the default file save location for many applications is still a (now deleted) one drive folder. If you forget and click save.. well now you have one drive again.
I wonder what the options are if it is decided that Starliner is unsafe to return with human occupants.
True, but I want to be able to join a computer to my domain and everything gets applied automatically.

The absurdity being the creation of an enterprise environment to use enterprise tools to shape a personal computer into something that closely resembles an experience you used to get out of the box 15 years ago.

To build a castle so as not to be treated like livestock.
That doesn't really solve the problem. It will involve many many many many hours of development to get to the point where it's a viable alternative and if it ever does eventually reach that state, it will require lots of lots of hours of maintenance work.

Couldn't you just change chrome so that it forks the tabs and runs them in the background? That seems a lot easier.
outcomes > outputs

It’s proven time and time again by DX programs (S.P.A.C.E. etc) that focus time is really the only KPI that produces outcomes.
TLDR: A lot of the statistical modeling around COVID is tricky and not a lot of the work out of the social sciences did a very careful job of it. This note goes through a 2020 paper that was brought up again recently and walks through some of the mistakes it made and some of the gotchas to look out for when doing lit review. The data science lessons apply broadly to anyone doing work with observational data.
Im not OP but they are probably referring to the endless cycle of build tooling produced in the JS/TS ecosystem. Due to a multitude of reasons, the ecosystem produces a lot more tools in a much faster lifecycle than many other languages.
One would often design tools specifically for an application. Depending on how nuts you went with that it could be quite luxorious. Map editors are the obvious example but if you need to find space for a disassembler you might as well make it part of the application.

Makes sense -- I don't think in language but shapes and graphs and blobs and other things I can't even describe with words. The words are vehicles for my thoughts but they are not my thoughts. So communication is sort of like a serialization process where thoughts in my head, however I represent them, are packaged into language; sent over a medium; received as language through eyes or ears or touch; and then unpacked into thoughts in the receivers head, however they represent them.

Macbooks won't apply updates unless you leave them plugged in overnight. If you do the totally normal thing of not charging a full battery, you get to enjoy the riveting experience of watching a slow update screen 30 minutes after you next use it.

Damn, it's actually not, lol.

It's bad... isn't it? :O It's one of the first articles I wrote, and I posted it here thinking nothing of it, but alas, it hit the first page.

Although it was primarily written to introduce the JuiceShop project to people, so I guess that's good.
> - Consistently spacious, clean and quiet cars. You know what you'll get.
- AC always works and not up to the whim of the driver.

How much of the cars being clean, quiet, and having HVAC working is just because it's new?

A few years down the line the cars will be old (until they're replaced) and won't be as clean or quiet or have reliable AC. It will probably become like aircraft where they prioritize maintenance of safety-critical features but not so much the seat comfort.

There are lots of upsides to not having a driver in the car, but I wouldn't count on the cars always being nice.
And Deno! Which also has compilation tools and is written partly in Rust.
Somehow, when I say Pow-el street instead of Pow-ul street, everyone feigns ignorance, even though they completely know what I’m talking about. Doesn’t seem like language as a communication tool works well, when it is I used as a way to establish superiority.
I know it's still the "honeymoon phase", but I actually do like Waymo when I'm walking, biking, driving another car, or riding in the Waymo.
I don't like the phrase. Some physicians do label their patients, and their patients' family members. It's probably better to treat people as individuals and with sympathy, but that can be a rare commodity.
Personal preference: the model S is one of the nicest looking cars ever designed.
At very least you're likely to get the error message about the serial number being wrong on newer phones, since the camera assemblies are serial locked.
I wish I could just pay and have an actual Pro version of Windows without ads, and also that Surface devices came with that version by default.
The cars will all charge overnight. Clean them there. Getting to and from the charging stations / cleaning depots is roughly free. It’s just the electricity which is like 5 cents a mile roughly. Utilization at night is really low anyways so not much opportunity cost.

The overall point being way more efficient to clean than an Uber.
> But perhaps the simplest explanation is that an LLM doesn't recognize what constitutes a correct answer but is compelled to provide one

Why is it compelled to provide one, anyway?

Which is to say, why is the output of each model layer a raw softmax — thus discarding knowledge of the confidence each layer of the model had in its output?

Why not instead have the output of each layer be e.g. softmax but rescaled by min(max(pre-softmax vector), 1.0)? Such that layers that would output higher than 1.0 just get softmax'ed normally; but layers that would output all "low-confidence" results (a vector all lower than 1.0) preserve the low-confidence in the output — allowing later decoder layers to use that info to build I-refuse-to-answer-because-I-don't-know text?

If you wouldn't mind elaborating, what are your issues with the article? I'm curious what you specifically identify as an indication of low quality.
Can confirm, already use Linux more than 5 years. Never did touching desktop version of libre doc, google doc is better. Opened libre calc sometimes to open local csvs, otherwise google sheet for more advanced use case.

Online tools are already advanced enough for most use case
I would recommend checking out one of the Universal Blue images of Fedora Silverblue like Bazzite (for gaming) or Bluefin (for developers who are fans of Ubuntu but want something cleaner and less... Canonical). Because they're based on an image based distro they're incredibly resiliant and reliable, and they really use all the cutting edge (but proven) tech going into OSI-image based distros to the utmost to provide a really great user experience, taking care of all the pain points and rough edges of Silverblue and providing a really complete well rounded setup right out of the box full of stuff that's just done for you and full of nice little thoughtful touches. I've moves three friends to Bazzite (from Windows) and they love it. I use my own custom image based on one of their base images too, and run their version of Fedora CoreOS on my home server.
