> I think it's clear that a phone isn't the final state for these interactions

That isn't clear to me at all, although continuing to experiment is worthwhile.

"Battery powered computer which fits in a pocket, having a screen/speakers/radio/microphone/camera/vibrator" is a hard form factor to beat. There's a lot of room to improve the specifics of how they work, but I would bet on something recognizably similar being in widespread use hundreds of years from now, provided that industrial civilization continues.

Voice-driven ambient computing will probably become more prominent than it is now, but that doesn't cover anything visual, so a device which can provide images on command will stay relevant. For something like a map, audio can only provide an inferior experience, and maps are one of the non-negotiable uses of a personal device, and likely to remain so.
Where did I say they shouldn’t make money?
Putin gets more boots on the ground and could potentially lessen the number of dead Russians to explain back home. Kim has more than enough boots to spare and gets a steady supply of resources for his resource-starved country, eg. food and raw manufacturing materials.

Two pariah states pooling their resources. Goes along with the Iranian tech Russia has been using so far.
Then go the opposite route. South Korea fines companies thousands of dollars every day a vulnerability isn't fixed. Security is one of those areas where negative reinforcement works better than positive reinforcement.

Would you kindly clarify your point? A supreme court justice is not a state or local official (as I understand the terms), so the ruling won't protect him.

The problem here isn’t that it uses your pattern library or not. The issue is it will spit out static designs that look right but aren’t actually based on either user goals or business goals of the product. It’s just a design that looks right. It’s missing the entire workflow design part and in fact covers over the need for it.

I see it leading a lot of less experienced product programs astray.
Boy, I can’t wait for the foundation of my house to disappear because the LLM mis-classified a drilling report as non-hazardous.

What’s the deal here with liability and accountability? That’s a serious problem when considering using these for anything other than toy problems.
Any chance that the new NPUs are going to significantly speed up running these locally.

Well I'm definitely worried about recall and all the Microsoft nonsense, I really want to be able to run and train LMMs, and other machine learning frameworks locally.
A genuine question and not meant as a snipe: as hallucinations are an inherent “feature” of LLMs, how can you be sure of the accuracy of the model’s interpretation of those 30,000 drilling report hazards? Or what is the acceptable level of risk?
The problem is when other people are getting 'AI suggestions' based on your work. What if you don't own the copyright for the work you're producing (it's for a client)? What if you don't what AI being trained on your data?
IMHO, most people using SIP providers are going to hook it up to something that feels like a traditional phone. Maybe that's a ATA that provides a FXS port to plug in a regular or cordless POTS phone, or as the backend for deskphones for a business. I've been using voip.ms for a long time for this; despite the domain, I think they're based in Canada. I think they got some investment recently and they've rebuilt their website to be more flash and less substance, but service continues as-is, at least for my minimal usage (except for the time they and a lot of other voip providers were getting DDoSed; that was kind of rough).

They've got a wiki about using their service from a smartphone [1], but I'm guessing it's fairly dated; I don't think Android has a sip client integrated into the dialer anymore? And with Doze and modern networking, I don't think you're going to have a good time with a plain SIP client, if you want to get unexpected inbound calls; and for iOS, you always needed a server assist to get a push notice for unexpected inbound calls. I don't know if a regular SIP service is going to let you roam from wifi to cell and vice versa during a call either. If you want things to work well, you really need an intermediate server built around how modern mobile apps can communicate ... and then you get awful close to just using one of the OTT messengers and whatever calling in that app.

Voip.ms also has a more recently published guide [2] in their blog... so I dunno, maybe? Vonage claims to have an app for android/ios for their business communications customers [3] that might work, too?

I have not used this specific tool, but have used https://community.coherentpdf.com/ for the cropping/rescaling. And in general "printing" (posters) is what I have used it for (books make sense though as well).

That's why much of the world is gradually shifting over to renewable energy usage. In a world where energy is renewable, does not generate greenhouse gas and (hopefully) does not produce other externalities, our best way of dealing with these resource allocation problems is the free market.

The alternative is regulation, which, I'm not even sure how it could be used to address this particular issue. Ban AI or crypto? Humans will find new ways to waste vast amounts of energy with computers. Require that computers have a certain efficiency rating of megaflops/joules? People will use more of this now far more efficient computing, resulting in more overall usage. Require corporations to be audited for energy efficiency and be certified? Goodbye all small players that cannot handle all the overhead of such legislation.
In SA, barbed wire is a good start. You’ve left off electric fence, cameras, manned boom gates and security company. And security WhatsApp groups. What am I missing? Some have guns or double layers of the above. Many live in security complexes inside the fenced off areas. Oh yes, burglar bars. And security alarm linked to the security company.

The above doesn’t always work. You need to ensure the gates can’t be crowbarred off. Happened to us a few times. The amount of IQ allocated to breaking in is amazing. Serious innovation on the criminal side. Think of your smartest friends very keen to get into your house and working together for years on how to do it.

Uh, perhaps I was too long away, perhaps I'm too old, but what's wrong with Internet connectivity in Germany?

I got here (town of less then 25k souls) 100Mbps (the least I could realistically chose) last year, RTT to nearest google server is 22ms (116ms to Amazon though). There's some commotion in town to get us each 1Gbps (which is IMHO absurd). Took a while to install it (partly due to history of the premise), but I don't think it has been down since I got it.

Honestly, if it is any worse than Internet in the S.F. Bay area, I haven't noticed it yet.
I think a lot of XYZ Driven Development advice can basically be boiled down to: write down some kind of plan before you start coding.

Certainly one should think about the design before implementing, but I think writing acts to force active reflection on the design - be it a plan, or documentation, or a test.

At this point my approach is to plan out my current ticket into TODOs before I make a branch. I do this in phases until I get down to the level of what functions need to be modified/made. If I know there is a function that is going to be doing a bunch of branching or is otherwise complex, then I know it will need a good bit of unit testing, and I might opt for TDD - though its rare. I'm used enough to planning my tickets now that it is usually sufficient to get to a good design.

I would recommend trying to do some sort of planning of your work. It can be hard and time consuming it first but it can be a superpower if you get into the habit of it.
The biomass of livestock is 14x larger than all other mammal, combined[1] (not counting humans). You have to be really intentional with the way you phrase things to point out that, yes, wild ruminants are essential to ecosystems.

Nobody is talking about wild ruminants though, we're talking about the 14x the biomass of all other mammal combined that are creating and obscene amount of emissions. And just FYI, it's the burps that are the main problem, not the farts.

Stop parroting propaganda.

Is increasing the enforcement arm going to help with these questions?

Also, they are increasing the inforcement arm substantially, to the point it should be above the 2010 levels.
It's interesting how we dismiss anyone caring about things other than profit as virtue signally. Anthropic was founded by people who seemed to legitimately care about AI safety. It's possible the current conglomeration that is the company doesn't, but I wouldn't be so quick to assume that.
While the analogy they offered may not be a good fit, I agree with the sentiment. My takeaway was not that addicts have zero agency or ability to help themselves, but that it's unethical to rely on this as the sole mechanism for minimising harm.

> The effects of an explosion in tax cheating would be dire. The nation’s already soaring budget deficit would surge by hundreds of billions of dollars more, pushing it well past $1 trillion. Commissioners of the IRS, starting with President George W. Bush’s appointee, Douglas Shulman, have warned Congress about a crisis like this since the budget cuts began, in 2011. But after eight years, Republican lawmakers, who are chiefly responsible for the reductions, show no signs that they think the danger is urgent. By the time the danger becomes indisputable, immense harm will already have been done.

> "The number of anti-Microsoft people that still use Github is astounding to me, and then just blame Microsoft for buying it."

Voting with your wallet (or with your attention & time for free things) makes sense if there's an alternative you can choose that's as good as the one from the company you dislike, or if you consider the impact on you of any deficits in the alternative to be less important than sending a message by voting with your wallet/time.

But it's completely understandable, and very common, for people to be in a situation that while they want to boycott a company/product because of how they act in some way (from software UI decisions to using child labour in sweatshops to...) but are faced with the choice between using/buying one of their products or suffering from what they consider to be a significantly worse and/or more expensive product.

And if you wish that one or both of Microsoft selling / giving away Github, or MS changing how they run Github, would happen, then why not publicly express blame in the hope that enough similar complaints build pressure, regardless of whether you're avoiding it or feeling you need to use it?

(Personally I don't feel I use Github enough to be a useful voice on how MS have handled it since the acquisition, but I feel like many people have expressed being pleasantly surprised that they've broadly let Github be Github, at least compared to worst-case fears of how much they might try to make it more Microsofty.)

Justifiably! Supply-chain attacks have occurred via npm, and have been widely reported. A lack of oversight and lack of standard libraries are often cited as the cause.

As someone who primarily writes TypeScript to run in browsers and on node.js, this kind of threat requires an extra level of vigilence, and often nudges me toward writing my own things rather than importing them.

How big are we talking about? I've driven the same car since 2006 (Honda CR-V), and my A pillars block about 10° on the driver side and 6° on the passenger side. I have no idea how that compares to what's currently on the market.

That's enough for the apparent width to be bigger than the apparent width of a pedestrian farther than maybe 8 ft or so from the car but because the pillar is at an angle it only blocks then at a specific height. The parts of the body above and below that height remain visible. The particular slice that is blocked varies as their angular position varies.
I don't think it's that big of a change. I've sat on both sides of many meetings where designers showcased mockups of functionality that didn't exist and wasn't even sanity-checked for a possibility to be engineered in the first place.

I already got rid of my own account ages ago, so I only read, and that cut my interaction time way down. Force me to use the app and we're done.

Literally everything is neutral in the very long run. The point is that it's a massive input to the current system which is too high right now.
