I teach students to build v. small, uncomplicated VAEs on MNIST. No CNNs, just fully-connected layers.

We then navigate through the latent space, exploring it by e.g. interpolating between the mean vector for the number 7 and its positive and negative standard deviations. We then decode the latent vectors revealing interesting relations like "the closer you get to one stdev in the positive direction, the more the 7 looks like 9" or "7 is entangled with skew"
We've been running Dagster for ~6 months on ECS and it has been rock solid. (knocks on wood)
Aside from many users not being familiar with PWAs and not wanting to install them, I believe they’d also have to drop support for older iOS versions, as for example PWA push notifications were only added in iOS 16.4.
These were really fun to watch and I enjoy your takes - appreciate the thorough response!

I also remember being blown away by TSW haha
When did I say “hardware”? While I prefer physical buttons for critical controls [0], a fixed-layout section of the touchscreen for physical controls would still be a massive improvement over the status quo. The “app bar” would be separate.

[0] The speed readout you’re mentioning is not a control. I have no problem with it being on a screen other than the fact that that screen occasionally crashes.

Airflow is kind of the default platform. If you do not have a goto alternative which is superior in multiple dimensions today, I think that says the problem itself is hard.

Might as well go with the devil everyone knows.
Haha, thanks.

It was supposed to be a fully 2D game, and several months in we realized we'd run out of RAM for all the sprites with all their rotations. So somehow I managed to convert it into a 2D+3D game in two weeks.
1. No preference on this. It sounds convenient to do it all in one platform, but I assume that increases our exposure to potential vendor lock-in shenanigans.
2. Separate pool.

Thanks for the questions!
I'd love to see this for SQLite and DuckDB at the same time. I could see them using a common wasi filesystem shim so they can transparently do range requests over http blobs.

Do you have a branch for this work?
The featured article contains mixed messages:

It is hoped the drug — which is not a cure but will make the condition much less painful for sufferers — could also be used to treat rheumatoid arthritis and chemotherapy-induced pain in the future.

As a writer myself who has watched journalism dying, crap articles being written by underpaid freelancers, the enshitification of the internet while everyone objects to any means used to monetize content creation, etc ad nauseum, I don't really feel like trying to figure out just how much this "really does" for patients.

The medical industry in the US tends to be about profit and I think people should, in fact, profit for their work but in medicine sometimes profit motive tosses the baby out with the bathwater. And I'm super burned out on trying to have any kind of meaningful discussion of that issue online.

Yes this is great. I looked into stitching these together but always figured it would be a huge undertaking. Consider looking at TensorFlow for OCR which should be much better and maybe faster.
The only reason I'd want to use a Patreon app over their website would be to play creator's videos on a large screen. As far as I can tell, they don't have an AppleTV app.

This, TBH, is why I've never supported a creator via Patreon, as I have no idea how I'd access a creator's supporter-only content in a way that was convenient for me.

Well, yeah, but you can also see how the key piece of information a company discloses is the pre-tax price.

To show each customer the right post-tax price, you'd have to know where they live and where they will buy your product. It would be impossible to advertise a price en masse on your website / in a brochure.

A lot of conservatives live in rural areas, where EV range and lack of suitable chargers is a big drawback. Towing capacity and winter driving are also issues (tires and battery capacity in the cold). Probably those matter most than the politics of the manufacturer. A lot of car companies make EVs now...

By jumping through hoops, tying unrelated tools together, confusing users, and reaping an extra $10 you didn't want to take + support costs thereof, yes, it is possible. It is not what we expected or asked for when we started asking for this in 2007 (we = iOS devs).
If I did that I would waste so much time. I know what code is in my codebase. Maybe if I was a novice this would be effective to help me learn it. Is the point of the exercise to wow myself for a week that an LLM can spit out solutions?

For sure, I was using a simplistic description. My point is that my experience (and it's just my experience) is that many people don't care to understand what a browser is or how to use it properly, they want apps. I stress this is just my experience but I'm one of those people who tries to (unsuccessfully) teach them. They just don't care (though I'm probably a bad teacher).

And yes, see also people who print emails so they can scan them XD
Patreon's take will not be the same. Apple's fee is charged first. So for all the creators that don't raise prices, Patreon is also getting 30% less, because they charge flat fees. And every creator that does raise prices will probably end up with fewer patrons, or patrons donating less, and will probably have a similar effect.

It also just kinda harshes everyone's vibe when they eventually realize they're being gypped and paying a lot more than others for the same thing, and that can cause people to just unsubscribe.
> Something something precommit to not cooperating with acausal blackmail

Acausal is a misnomer. It's atemporal, but TDT's atemporal blackmail requires common causation: namely, the mathematical truth "how would this agent behave in this circumstance?".

So there's a simpler solution: be a human. Humans are incapable of simulating other agents simulating ourselves in the way that atemporal blackmail requires. Even if we were, we don't understand our thought processes well enough to instantiate our imagined AIs in software: we can't even write down a complete description of "that specific Roko's Basilisk you're imagining". The basic premises for TDT-style atemporal blackmail simply aren't there.

The hypothetical future AI "being able to simulate you" is irrelevant. There needs to be a bidirectional causal link between that AI's algorithm, and your here-and-now decision-making process. You aren't actually simulating the AI, only imagining what might happen if it did, so any decision the future AI (is-the-sort-of-agent-that) makes does not affect your current decisions. Even if you built Roko's Basilisk as Roko specified it, it wouldn't choose to torture anyone.

There is, of course, a stronger version of Roko's Basilisk, and one that's considerably older: evil Kantian ethics. See: any dictatorless dystopian society that harshly-punishes both deviance and non-punishment. There are plenty in fiction, though they don't seem to be all that stable in real life. (The obvious response to that idea is "don't set up a society that behaves that way".)
They offered me $3 for a hairwash sink. They charged $250 for it. I knew they would do this, so I only sold them one as proof. They are evil greedy scum sucking pigs:

"the only memory-reordering optimization permitted by the ISA is store buffering."

I think this is a mischaracterization of TSO. TSO only dictates the store ordering to other entities in the system, the individual cores are fully capable of using the results of stores that are not yet visible for their own OoO purposes as long as the dataflow dependencies are correctly solved. The complexities of the read/write bypassing is simply to clarify correct program order.

And this is why the TSO/non TSO mode on something like the apple cores doesn't seem to make a huge difference, particularly if one assumes that the core is aggressively optimized for the arm memory model, and the TSO buffering/ordering is not a critical optimization point.

Put another way, a core designed to track store ordering utilizing some kind of writeback merging is going to be fully capable of executing just as aggressively OoO and holding back or buffering the visibility of completed stores until earlier stores complete. In fact for multithreaded lock-free code the lack of explicit write fencing is likely a performance gain for very carefully optimized code in most cases. A core which can pipeline and execute multiple outstanding store fences is going to look very similar to one that implements TSO.
Whenever I look at something like this I'm always a bit astounded by the variety and styles of similar-purpose objects. I would love to see a deep dive on the evolution of these designs; it always seems like there is untold history lurking in these -- why not make the wings shorter or longer, thicker or thinner, curved vs bicurved vs straight, some hollow and some solid. Was it a question of the amount of material used, or how many could be manufactured in a batch, casting the threads vs tapping them, hand sized or sized to openings, maximizing torque or limiting torque to prevent stripping.

One of my most annoying memories of a museum was visiting the Cooper-Hewitt design museum where they had a wall with imprints of coffee cup lids, and I was thrilled at the idea of reading about all the tradeoffs involved -- how much cup strength is offloaded onto the lid to save costs on that end, etc. But it turned out that the wall was just an Art with no deeper meaning. And then they had a car that they said was well designed and my reaction was just -- how can you show me good design without showing me either bad design (all the ways it can go wrong) or the evolution of that design?

If anyone knows any museums that would scratch this itch, please give me recommendations!
Re: feature entitlements shared through a shared SSO auth backend and/or Group Container — yes, apps do this. Mostly this is in app "suites" where you can IAP a feature entitlement in one app in the suite, and the entitlement should then become available to the other apps in the suite. (I think the Omni Group apps do it? Correct me if I'm wrong.)

Re: multi-edition shared apps — I'm not sure if this has been done with the App Store in particular, but it's just a combination of things App Store apps can do (basically, moving code out into dylibs, and then marking those dylibs as On-Demand Resources.) I know that this is a common approach to supporting netplay (and especially replay of historical netplay) in competitive-eSport multiplayer game titles on Steam et al, where players need to be on the same exact version of the game engine + netcode to sync (and so those engine libs are downloaded on-demand before the match begins); and where you need an exact ABI version of the game engine to replay a netplay recording (and so that engine lib is downloaded on-demand when you go to replay the recording.)

ETA: looking more into this, I'm finding conflicting reports on whether executable-code On-Demand Resources are currently allowed on the iOS App Store: it looks like the Apple docs say no, and yet some apps (from not-bigcorp devs!) are doing it anyway and getting away with it (and have for many review cycles.) Very confusing. Maybe those devs are part of an alpha-test rollout for executable-ODR?

Or alternatively doing less at a time. Can you replace the vanity without doing the floor, then when that is done do the shower, then the toilet/floor. (in most bathrooms the toilet is the only think that needs to sit on the floor, the rest you can shim and then hide the seam in some trim). I try to break all my projects down into things I can do in a day - often not possible, but when it is I'm more likely to get them done.

This is a completely coherent critique of Apple, and it resonates with me because I have all the same issues with Apple that you describe.

But I don't think it supports acting immorally, just because Apple's involved. I would have shipped back the machine to them as well.

Yet another fun story assaulted by pedantry.
Couple of the old school macOS dev houses tried this once this hack became visible and little birdies said the hack WAI. (ex. OmniGroup)

Since then, people have backed off.

If you're going to this much work to help users workaround Apple nonsense, you really care about helping them save money, and the support + refund costs of people accidentally buying the bundle with the old version they don't need is > just building out your own server-side system, versus a combinatorial explosion of bundles in the App Store that creates a confusing minefield for users.

> If people found multiple screens so useful that it’s worth lugging an extra bag around, external 13” monitors should be bestsellers.

While I mostly agree... I partially disagree.

IMO, the problem isn't so much about screens not proving to be helpful - but about good screens. Here in The Netherlands it's very common to find assistants/secretaries having multiple monitors. Heck, (some of?) the staff at the court in The Hague have curved ultrawide monitors. Evidently people recognize the benefits of screen real estate.

The big problem, IMO, is that "standard" portable screens - 99% of which are 16:9 - are simply not tall enough. My 13.5" FW13 screen (3:2 ratio) is about as tall as a 15" 16:9 screen, but is much smaller than a 15" laptop. Windows particularly is excellent/terrible at having a ton of horizontal bars, making usable vertical height terribly little. Why would someone bring another monitor to see more bars?

For some types of services, once you've found a person who does good work, you can privately ask them if they'd like to cut out the middleman: they get a pay raise and you pay less. This is particularly relevant for online services that find a professional for you.
I know a Google exec that was put on the Google Glass project early on, when the scope was for it to be a full AR/VR device (not like the very scaled-back thing Google Glass rolled-out as). Even he knew many years ago that it would be impossible within the foreseeable future with the state of available tech or even near future available tech to fit that experience into the size of a pair of sunglasses. That person is now involved with Google's quantum computing efforts which seems like a more solvable problem than fitting a full AR/VR experience into a something close to a standard size pair of sunglasses.

I've got a Quest headset and the thing causes a lot of pressure on my sinuses, making it unwearable for more than about 15 minutes at a time. There are no AR/VR headsets that I'd be willing to strap on to my face for more than about 10 or 15 minutes.

Stratasys Inc. is alleging infringement on five (5) separate issued patents, the claims of which are (greatly) summarized below with associated priority dates in the order listed in the complaint:

(1) A method for performing a purge operation (US 9,421,713) has a priority date of 3/2013.

(2) A build platform having a polymer coating thereon (US 9,592,660) has a priority date of 12/2014.

(3) A method for generating a remnant path in a void region for filling of a cavity (US 7,555,357) has a priority date of 1/2006.

(4) A method for creating a signal to control a printer component based on a detected contact force (US 9,168,698) has a priority date of 10/2013.

(5) A 3D printer having a controller that can calculate a contact force (US 10,556,381) has a priority date of 10/2015.

Interested to see the impact this could have on the 3D printing market as a whole as most of these features have become standard across all manufacturers.
Besides passwords, I know EMDR is basically an attempt at an antimemetic for PTSD. However, one thing I’ve wondered about that therapy is how effective it is at also reducing the behaviors of PTSD.

I had almost total disassociative amnesia after sexual abuse by an older friend in elementary school, possibly Jr High. While I remembered the friend, I still don’t really remember the abuse and know about it until my parents warned me about this person moving back while I was in high school. However, I was still very sensitive regarding any nudity (even with sexual partners) and personal space until I spent some time with a therapist.

I think the memories of the abuse were truly gone and not repressed, recovery of repressed memories seems to be pseudoscience. However, it doesn’t seem implausible to lose only the episodic memory of the trauma.
Companies taping out chips have the capability to verify them. The open source verification systems and tests are definitely like only 5% of a proper verification, but there are commercial tests and models that are much better.
