>The rules are "I can think you are crass, wrong, bigoted, geriatric, etc., but if a majority of my countrymen think otherwise, we accept we are not successful in the battle of ideas, and fight another battle of ideas in 4 years".

Trump was never supported, much less elected, by a majority of Americans. He didn't even get the majority of votes in the election he won. The American political system was explicitly designed not to empower the will of the majority, because that would have been an existential threat to the status quo (slavery) at the time.

And while it might be nice to claim that we should be civil participants in a battle of ideas, it would be naive to ignore the effect of centuries of gun culture and polarizing neo-reactionary rhetoric on American politics. Regardless of what the founding fathers may have intended (and notwithstanding that they disagreed on many things) a lot of Americans believe political violence is a necessity and a virtue. They lecture people on the virtues of guns after every school shooting, and speak wistfully about "watering the tree of liberty with the blood of tyrants."

America has been edging itself with talk of a "cold civil war" for years now. It's like a morbid game of chicken.

I wouldn't imagine it was that much, I would suspect the API remains largely unchanged, just the library code gets compiled in rather then being loaded at runtime.

I read your comment as more not seeing the benefit of the change.
I can't walk by this comment without noting that their 'we don't need no regulamazations' attitude resulted in a large populous state which people want to migrate to. The other large US state, California, has electricity prices that appear to be 2x higher [0]. And their migratory trends are not encouraging.

People underestimate the heavy burden of a strong regulatory state. High standards and high costs. All in it the Texas approach looks to be pretty good even if it means you have to be prepared for an emergency. I actually lost power for 24 hours recently so I can sympathise; a widespread outage would be horrific for an unprepared person. But being prepared for emergencies is a much more resilient approach in the long term and better than the quite substantial risk of overregulating.

They have a very healthy attitude.

To be fair to what OP is saying, it's not so much that you have to carefully craft the prompts every single time, it's that there is a linguistic register you have to adopt in order to get results out of an LLM. The initial learning process for that register can be hard, but once you've learned it it comes naturally.

I think of it as similar to Googling in the early days. What started as a skill I had to pick up became second nature and I could find things faster than my family without even really thinking about what I was doing. It just became natural.
At least it creates jobs for IT from all the problems having systems with too little ram will cause. This already happens with the Apple M series devices. Can't say much else for it.

Trump immediately knew how good this was going to be for him in the upcoming election, His arm-pumping gesture is perfectly in line with his well known and highly egoic personality.
And Oncor? TNMP? AEP Texas?

They're either all terrible stewards of the grid or Texans are all victims of propaganda, because all four of these have had extended outages following most severe weather events of the last decade (hurricanes, I'm willing to give a pass to, some, but we're also talking 'cold weather in winter has a very real potential to cause widespread blackouts').

Most likely you have the Exynos CPU?
I upgraded from a S21 Ultra (Exynos) to a S23 Ultra (Snapdragon).

Battery life is so much better.
I use the 80% battery protection option and nearly always make it through the day.
Only if I constantly watch videos the battery is flat in the evening.

With power saving and 100% battery I can reach 2 1/2 to 3 days.

You are right, it probably just expired, might not have been "sold".
Just launched PicStock.ai, a marketplace for AI-generated stock photos. It's free for artists to join and list their work. We already have 5 artists sharing their creations, with more coming on board.

Artists set their own prices and get 90% of each sale, paid directly through Stripe. They'll need to create a Stripe account to enable purchases. No hidden fees or complicated terms. Without a connected Stripe account, artists can still share images for free.

Each artist gets a profile showcasing all their work and bio. We're adding Instagram handle visibility soon for better artist promotion.

We're aiming to create a fair platform for AI artists while providing unique images for buyers. The site is functioning well, but I'm still testing to catch any overlooked issues.

If you're into AI art or need fresh visuals, check it out. Open to feedback and questions if anyone's interested.

I think you're right. That kind of language taps energy to get bases riled up, but it's a dangerous kind of excitement (panic?) that can lead to desperate acts.

It makes my stomach turn that people - and I - can be susceptible to this, and furthermore that it's taken advantage of. Politicians are skilled hackers, too.

> part of the Mx performance over Intel/AMD is from a 3x faster memory access (70gb/sec DDR4/5, 200+gb/sec Mx).

With DDR5 I'd say more like 2.4x. And it should be made clear that that's mostly by virtue of fitting the equivalent of four memory channels on the Pro models. The non-Pro models don't see a very big boost.

In that context, CAMM stays exciting, because if you design a CPU to support two LPCAMM2 modules you can get 200+GB/s on upgradable memory. Though in a laptop form factor it would be hard to double that again to compete with a Max chip.
Seems like hyperbole. I'm sure there are a lot of bad days where secret service are sleep deprived and nothing happens.
Some[1] think that things are trending in the opposite direction: away from clever manipulations and hard coded domain knowledge, and towards large scale general models.

Measuring the Impact of Developer Relations on Revenue
That seems the way to go unless you have insane amounts of data. We had some could guys write a pipeline in AWS for us with several steps connected by lambdas that get triggered at each step. The damn thing is just not reliable. It skips some changes or sometimes doesn't work at all. I am sure it can be made reliable but I am beginning to be very skeptical of all this complexity. I think we could write the whole pipeline in 300 lines of Python with the same results but somehow this is not "cool" because it doesn't scale. Never mind that the complex stuff doesn't scale either
Vulkan is definitely a valid angle and I seriously considered it as well. There's a few things that, in aggregate, led me to explore a different direction:

First, there's already a few teams taking a stab at the vulkan approach like kompute, so it's not like that's uncovered territory. At the same time I first looked into this the khronos/apple drama + complaints about moltenvk didn't seem encouraging but I'd be happy to hear if the situation is a lot better.

Second, even though it's not the initial focus, the possibility of browser targets is interesting.

Finally, there's not much in the fairly minimalist gpu.cpp design that couldn't be retargeted to a vulkan backend at some point in the future if it becomes clear that (eg w/ the right combination of vulkan-specific extensions) the performance differential is sufficient to justify the higher implementation complexity and the metal/vulkan tug of war issues are a thing of the past.

Ultimately there's much less happening with webgpu and the things that are happening tend to be in the ml inference infra rather than libraries. it seemed to be a point in the design space worth exploring.

Regarding Dawn - I've lived where your coming from. Some non-trivial amount of effort went into smoothing out the friction. First, if you look at the bottom of the repo README you'll see others have done a lot to make building easier - fetchcontent with Elie's repo worked on the first try, but w/ gpu.cpp users shouldn't even have to deal with that if they don't want to. The reason there's a small script that takes the few seconds to fetch a prebuilt shared library on the first build is so that you can avoid the dawn build by default. After that it should be almost instantaneous to link and compile cycles should be a second or two.

But as I mention elsewhere in these threads, if the Dawn team shipped prebuilt shared libraries themselves, that would be an even better solution (if anyone at Google is reading this)!
I used that feature once. Long day on a construction site. Last job was to hook up a PC to a Smart-TV. No remote to be seen. Costumer no longer on site. Jelly 2 to the rescue :-) Felt Swiss Army knifey.
It’s the sort of thing you really want to verify first. We know he was bleeding. That was all. But yes, there was the possibility he could have cut himself when the Secret Service grabbed him. Or he very well could have been grazed, which seems more likely by now. We’ll learn more as the chaos subsides and news organizations get more verified information.

I’ll note that the current WSJ story doesn’t state he was shot, just that he stood up with blood on his ear. Hell, even Fox News isn’t claiming he was shot when I wrote this comment. They’re all handling the chaos and lack of information the same way: report what little you know, point out that it’s a breaking news story, and that there’s a great deal of uncertainty. They know he was bleeding from photos and video.

Political violence is horrific and unacceptable, and assassinations are even worse. News organizations are, so far, seemingly handling this dark moment well and will hopefully avoid making it worse for Americans.
It's hard to rail against market forces, where bigger seems to mean prosperity.

The same model of SUV is always bigger as time goes on, and there seems to be no small pickups anymore.

I've always wondered if modest people buy used devices and cars, and don't have a say in what new ones are like.
I wouldn't use the phrase "require security" to describe such apps, since to fulfill what they actually require, you often end up being less secure. For example, most such apps will be fine with you running them on a phone with 20 critical CVEs from a year ago, but not on a phone that you unlocked the bootloader of to install a version of Android that fixes said CVEs.

It is $2.5 million per mile. That is order of magnitude more expensive. Houston has 6200 miles of road compared to 640 square miles.

I think $2.5 million is the high estimate, my city is estimating $1 million per mile.

I wonder if they can use manifests / registration-free COM to avoid the registry dependency of the online component.
It is a niche, yes. However, that niche is about adding some customizability to certain parts of a program, where Lua would be overkill. Moreover, hardening Lua, which is doable but not trivial, may be beyond the ability, interest, or simply time available to the developer. If you don't need the extra features Lua provides, why include them?
The other issue with squares is of course why not rotate the square? It seems silly to be bound to east/west and north/sout
They managed to lose all of their records of my purchase of one of their phones, directly from their store.

I couldn't have sent it back for a warranty repair if I'd needed, they deleted my entire account. I even have email confirmations for the order from their system, it's kind of amazing.

That said, I'd still buy another phone from them. This Atom L is years old and still has a three day battery life and no physical damage. The biggest issue with this brand in my experience is simply that it's not compatible with a bunch of phone networks for reasons beyond me.

Verizon, for instance, will simply not work with my IMEI. That's a hard fail for a lot of people, and it prevents me from using it with most of those cheap piggyback carriers too.

This looks useful but I'm worried about portability. Are there any plans for native Windows support?
I don't know what Allen and the Two Temps are, but what is your suggestion exactly? What's a better MVNO or carrier to move to?

I've been very happy with Fi, after having used Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T, and Sprint. But I'm also not dead set on them.

I don't really need anything faster than 10 or 20 Mbps anyway, and the Fi app and support team are super easy to work with, which is more important to me than super fast speed or priority. It looks like the reddit person was trying to use it as a permanent international plan, which isn't really what it's for. I do like being able to seamlessly and cheaply use my same plan when traveling for a few weeks though.

If Google ever sunsets Fi, that's fine, I'll just move to another carrier then. Doesn't seem like an urgent situation to me?

But if there are any better choices for about $80 to $110/mo for two lines, I'd be all ears! T-mobile seems more expensive, but if they have significantly better speeds and international roaming at the same price, that'd be worth considering?

If I remember right though, their customer service was horrible. That was a long time ago though. I'd much prefer a slower service with good support than a faster one with automatic or outsourced support.
Also less expensive than everybody going out and buying a generator, plus putting out fires from improperly stored gasoline.
This is generally true.

Logseq is one of the only tools I feel different about.

The per item line entry combined with a basic plugin to auto tag based on the words you type and existing tags, has been a game changer. I can simultaneously tag one line to multiple things without having to go the point of filing or adding them to each.
I agree -HOWEVER- the government should retain the ability to transmit official records. This might include the transcription of outdated formats and technologies to new formats which are supported.

It SHOULD also include release to the public domain BEFORE it becomes a burden to review the records.
What I'm going to say is tangential to the article's main issue (scientific fraud), but I take issue with the "essential" in the headline. Not only there was science going on without peer review, there are some very proeminent examples of it, too. None of Einstein's annus mirabilis were peer reviewed. Einstein didn't care much for peer review either. Later on, when Physical Review tried to peer review one of his papers with Rosen, he chose to submit the paper elsewhere.

Here here. Couldn’t have described AWS better.
You're suggesting there is not a casual link between having a work situation and reporting that they prefer that work situation? Obviously some situations are dictated by circumstances; the Gallup poll indicated ~1/3 of women don't have their preference in both directions. But most women report preferring their situation in both directions. Why is their stated preference under question? And especially why is it only under question on one direction?

The link you quoted didn't seem to actually mention that part-time bit, but it does say:

> Marital status is also strongly linked to views about the ideal work situation, and the gap in views between married and unmarried mothers has widened significantly in recent years. Among unmarried mothers, about half (49%) say working full time would be their ideal. This is up dramatically from 26% who said the same in 2007. Only 23% of married mothers today say their ideal situation would be to work full time, basically unchanged from 2007.

Which seems even more suggestive to me: the wider stats are muddled by single moms where it wouldn't make sense to stay home. When you focus on married moms, only 23% want full time work. Basically, they don't actually want to climb the career ladder.

Saying 99% of people are capable of a STEM career is totally out of touch with reality. 15% would be optimistic (and would probably require an inclusive definition of "science"). For a large portion of the population, technical subjects are actually quite difficult.

Someone who would counterfactually be in a highly compensated career is generally going to be in the highly educated affluent bucket almost tautologically. They are also going to have a similarly situated social circle where they can meet a spouse. They're exactly the demographic that's capable of being in the "opt-out" group, which was my point up thread: girls in STEM have the option of marrying a guy in STEM and living an affluent life as a homemaker.
In BTC, they have devised a way to transform the private key, to twelve words. I don't know how that technique is called or where on github it is, but there is for sure a way to for a YT url to be made into words.
Not sure, sorry! I'm not affiliated with Fi or Google besides being a customer. I've never had an issue with their support, although I also use Pixel phones and not Samsung. When I've had to replace devices in the past through them, it was quick and painless. Amazingly so, in fact, compared to the legacy carriers. Maybe I just got lucky.
I did come across some mentions of that, but it sounded like you would need to configure it at build time. If you know of a way to do it with a pre-existing binary that wasn't designed with that in mind I'd be very interested.
You're not alone.

I've had hour long conversations explaining the project talking about how webgpu can be used natively, how rust and zig people are using webgpu as a main GPU APIs (with wgpu and mach) and at the end there's still clarification questions about differences from WebGL and WASM.

The phrase "native webgpu" might as well be a Stroop Effect prank in technology branding.
