Publishing a paper isn't necessarily engineering a product, but decisions are made from data, and there are corresponding effects.

Reproducibility is the test suite of science. Make experiments reliably, repeatably testable.

Wonder if computable research will become a requirement for publication. Will that make a slow process slower?
A large part of it is that many, many people are getting increasingly annoyed about the concept of "trans" in general. They consider the view that a man presenting himself in a stereotypically feminine manner is a woman to be a ridiculous and sexist idea.

Even more outrageous, to many people, is that men who claim to be women are taking over every space that is intended solely for the use of women. Including in places where it's demonstrably harmful to actual women to do so, like women's prisons, or inherently unfair, like women's sports.

So the backlash and boycott encompassed all of that feeling too. Interestingly this isn't just on the right, as it's often portrayed to be, but a sentiment being expressed by ordinary people across the political spectrum.

The NFC chip I want still doesn't exist: a CPU and flash I can write a program for, directly, no VMs, no Java, without an NDA'd datasheet.

These exist, but they're all behind NDAs and you're not allowed to have them. They're used for e.g. EMV.
> Makes me get out of bed and tap my phone on a specific NFC tag placed somewhere around the house, in order to turn off the alarm.

Neat, but is there an advantage between this and "Place the alarm clock further from the bed"?
The idea of comparing evolved structures to the current height of technology is usually an oversimplification. It's amusing to think back to when the switchboard was compared to the brain, for example. It wasn't that long ago that we considered the brain and a computer to also be quite similar, but we know it's only in certain aspects.
Cold batteries do struggle a bit to deliver power and charge when they're cold, but they're just fine being stored in low temperatures. LFPs are really good at maintaining their charge. Even below -5°C, they should be fine, particularly if they're not being used.

Also, I wouldn't worry about the BMS too much. Unless it's really dumb, when there's no charging or discharging happening it will put itself to sleep for most of that time. Technically it will use power, but likely only a few hundred micro watts to a few milliwatts (nothing that will make a difference on a 5 kWh+ battery). Then when the sunlight comes back in the spring (or whenever the snow melts off the solar panels), it'll see some input voltage and start feeding the battery again.
This is a very meandering article without a lot of content, but as near as I can tell this quote near the end is the thesis:

> Local ai apps are how you get around the legacy permission system of the internet and set AI automation free.

This is an overly dramatic way of saying that OpenAI wants their local app to be a first class user agent rather than just another sandboxed website. This isn't really an end run around the web's permission system, it's very much an explicit part of the security model. Users trust a small handful of programs to be their agent interacting with bunch of content that they don't necessarily trust. If OpenAI wants to make an entry to try to become one of those trusted user agents, more power to them! We can always use more competition in the user agent space.
>Montreal subway does not cover the entire region like Vancouver's skytrain.

It's not supposed to. The new REM train network (a few stations already in use) will cover the region. By 2027. Maybe.

REM will also go to YUL.

PS. Fun fact, REM is also driver-less just like the Skytrain.

What this misses is what I've always struggled with getting promotions, the article is all about what the individual can do, but has no talk of the org you're in and which orgs will actually promote you:

1. The org and company doesn't want to promote you no matter what you do. When I joined MSFT, I was basically the team lead for my project (and my boss knew this), but I could not get a promotion or raise to the level I was operating at, because they would not move quickly enough or actually promote first / second year people.

2. There's no position to get promoted into. The managers like the team structure how it is and there's no open position. No matter what you do you'll never find a way out. This is especially true in orgs where people just never seem to leave or retire. Stable orgs can be good for work environment, but are typically bad for promotions.

3. Being a woman or minority makes it really hard. Of course there's no mention of this.

Of course, none of these would help this guy sell classes, so why mention it.

It's utterly not worth it. Your time to get it working, the equipment... but even if you have all of those if you get caught they will throw the book on you to scare away others.

Yes, I wondered why they didn't just take the bytes of their HTML, all of them, encode with base64, stuff the result into a MIME Part, send it, and f'get it.

Then to read the Web page, just decode the base64, give the result to Firefox, and be done -- no syntax or substitutions.

A guess is that base64 would be slower, but the base64 logic is dirt simple. So is the data handling -- just stuff the bytes where want them with no worries about splitting long lines and rejoining them, the fairly tricky logic of finding the =2D strings and replacing them.

But the syntax changes seem to be quite popular.

Part of all of this, to ease data handling I'm hoping for being able to store each Web page in just one file, a one file HTML, especially for whatever I receive via email.
I am sorry -- that was impossible to read. I think even LLMs will struggle here.
Twine would bias delivery to the right recipient whereas pure AI can send it anywhere with a high degree of inaccuracy.
Years ago, this was almost exactly my experience at my first software job, a large Rails monolith in the Ruby-on-Rails heyday. Obviously I was inexperienced, but aside from that, the application code itself was so hard to understand that I was seriously considering whether I was cut out for professional software development. It was just impossible to tell where things were defined, where data was coming from, when things were actually executing, etc.

It was only after working on other projects in other languages (Clojure, Java, Scala, Nodejs, Elixir, Rust) that I started to realize that maybe not all languages lead to teams writing code that is this difficult to follow.

People always say "oh, you can write terrible code in any language", and while this is true, it's a tautology. It doesn't actually tell you anything useful. I now think there is actually a pretty large spread in what kinds of code the various languages/frameworks encourage people to write. I'm not saying it guarantees what kind of code people will write, but, just for example, there absolutely is a difference between what the average Clojure programmer will write and what the average Java programmer will write.

If all of the various languages and frameworks and libraries all just ended up with the same effort producing the same results, no one would ever make anything new, because it would be pointless to do so.
The noise maker (alarm) is still close to him.
Not really, no. You want to use the GPU not the CPU. Macs are neat here since they can use the shared memory with a rather high bandwidth. So even if the GPU is much slower, the ram is much worse than proper vram, and ridiculously overpriced for that,... often the bottlenecks are ram amount and bandwidth.
I just started using this a month or two ago. I haven't taken the time to really investigate the extension, but it does seem to work well. I like that it shows which ad networks pop up the most and it shows a image collage of all the ads autoclicked in the ad vault. Pretty cool.
It doesn't even need malice or selfishness, this kind of thing can also be lack of skill.

A lot of for-profit businesses also take a lot of investments and fail to make much money.

I did a sponsored walk as a kid, I don't think I even raised enough to cover the cost of the petrol to get to the place it was at.

And I hear hospitals have to ask people to not do sponsored skydives to raise money for them, owing to the mean amount raised being lower than the mean cost of the healthcare they need to provide due to skydiving accidents.
I also struggled, but pushed through it enough to get the essence.

The message is that by running an arbitrary app on a machine, LLMs can act as an agent on your behalf, as though it were actually you. So it could, for example, make purchases, login to _anything_, and generally do whatever across any local programs and / or miscellaneous web browsers. Compare this to a web browser were there are huge security restrictions on what components can talk to what (e.g. forbidding cross-origin, http <=> https requests, and so forth).

Overall it's a bit of a nothing burger, and the level of effort required to identify it as such was a tad disappointing.

Not a huge advantage, but I'd say mostly range and flexibility. You may want to put the tag farther away than you could hear an alarm clock, if you want to go to another room.

> and other factors that will need to be overcome before cultivated protein can be produced cheaply enough to displace traditional meat.

This elides over the cost differential and where that "cheaply enough" wall is. Animal grown meat is currently rising in costs and will continue to rise in costs as both demand is rising and the habitat for those animals is constricting due to climate change. How much cheaper does lab grown meat and how much more more expensive does animal grown meat need to be before it becomes viable. From what I've read they are closer than this argument assumes.

Fedora has been shipping with a system that does not have a unified concept of what’s on the screen for years. It’s called GNOME 3. Ever tried to interact with the modal thingy that asks for a WiFi password as though it were a dialog box? It doesn’t work well, because it’s a figment of gnome-shell’s imagination and not actually a dialog box. (Or at least this was the case the last time I tried to figure out what was going on, which was a while ago.) I know very little about how A11y is plumbed under the hood, but I’m not surprised that it struggles with gnome-shell.

I suspect there’s a functioning middle ground between Windows XP-style or X11-style “everything is a window, even security sensitive overlays like the lock screen” and GNOME-style “everything is either a surface with no particular semantics or something produced directly by the shell”.
I work at a non-profit (although not one that fundraises and solicits donations), and while I do earn less than could make in the private sector, I still fully expect to be paid at a level commensurate with my skill and experience.

Fair. My mother used to put one of those old rattling alarm clocks with two bells on top into a metallic dish and placed that combo at the other end of the room. Similar concept.

When I visited Montreal I mostly walked and used their rental bicycle. I did take a few subway rides and being from Vancouver it didn't leave any specific impression on me one way or the other - I got where I needed to get to (some suburb).

The Skytrain to YVR is indeed very nice - built for the winter Olympics. Maybe not as "connected" as some European airports but quite convenient.

The problem with transit in Vancouver is that most of it is rays emanating from downtown, i.e. you have fairly decent (though IMO worse than most large European cities) transit if you need to get downtown but it's terrible useless if you need to get across. My work used to be 20 minutes drive time, >2 hours transit time.

Skytrain doesn't exactly cover the entire region, as you get further away from the downtown core the coverage gets much spottier until when you get far enough (but still part of metro Vancouver) it's non-existent.

There are certainly times when buses don't show up on time. I take transit these days to work and back and I would say something like 30% of the time the bus isn't on time. About 5% of the time the bus I'm supposed to take just never shows up.

Epigenetic modifications, such as methylation, are made to DNA by specific proteins. These modifications alter the transcription process from DNA to RNA, which in turn affects protein expression. This includes the expression of the proteins responsible for epigenetic changes themselves. In essence, the proteins that modify DNA also control the expression of their own building instructions through a feedback loop.

I guess that feels a bit like a von neumann machine to me, but I'm not sure the analogy is super helpful.
Maybe this is something that we need to deal no matter what are using (perhaps except if we use sh).

> If no one offers enough money, perhaps their research found it's just a bunch of hot air and not actually a viable design.

I won't go into specifics because none of them are my story to tell, and I don't have enough inside information to say with certainty anyway, but their research clearly showed it was not just a bunch of hot air, but the economic viability was mixed and often not there. In one case, it was only a marginal improvement over something that was already in high production, and the economies of scale made it so that this slightly better product would initially cost 100x more to produce, and even at moderate scale still 10x. My friend was offered some small amount (IIRC it was like $5,000) by some research firm to buy out the patent. He refused because he felt it was worth a lot more, but AFAIK it never ended up going anywhere. He (like the other cases) was inundated with (often conflicting) advice from a ton of angles, by many people who wanted to profit from the whole thing. It was pretty disheartening to watch. There was another one where a friend of a friend who was a professor discovered a way to improve efficiency in transmissions. They ended up raising substantial money but wanted too much to license out the IP to auto-makers, and the auto-makers walked. They ended up with essentially nothing and shortly afterward an even better CV transmission was discovered/invented, rendering his design obsolete anyway.
WASM sandboxing is pretty good! Together with the presumably very limited API with which this can communicate with the outside world, I wouldn't be too concerned.

To me, it's a great reminder that the line between well-sandboxed turing-complete execution environments and messy implementations of decoders for "purely declarative" data formats can be quite blurry.

Said differently, I'd probably trust Harfbuzz/WASM more than the average obscure codec implementation in ffmpeg.

It is a compiler intrinsic named after the SQRTPS instruction it's intended to generate. The "PS" refers to the vectorization type and stands for packed single.

That being said, the naming of Intel's vector intrinsics _is_ pretty bad, such as the pi64 vs. epi64 difference. ARM's vector intrinsic naming, despite looking like having come from a cat sitting on the home row keys, is more consistent and has less gotchas.
