We've been building something similar with https://vlm.run/: we're starting out with documents, but feel like the real killer app will involve agentic workflows grounded in visual inputs like websites. The challenge is that even the best foundation models still struggle a lot with hallucination and rate limits, which means that you have to chain together both OCR and LLMs to get a good result. Platforms like Tesseract work fine for simple, dense documents, but don't help with more complex visual media like charts and graphs. LLMs are great, but even the release of JSON schemas by OpenAI hasn't really fixed 'making things up' or 'giving up halfway through'.
I'm still salty about my Pixel 8 dying out because of the "green screen" bug (basically, screen just progressively turns greener until it stops working). Very common according to reddit, and the ubreakitifixit guy acknowledged it's a common problem as well.

My Pixel 5a also had some shenanigans and my dad's pixel 6 as well

No idea why they don't do proper Q&A. Looks like a good phone but yet fails in ways my work iphone never has.
Opt-in telemetry. A very rare sight these days. Glad to see.

Not even Mozilla does that with Firefox [1].

> Starting in Go 1.23, the Go toolchain can collect usage and breakage statistics that help the Go team understand how the Go toolchain is used and how well it is working. We refer to these statistics as Go telemetry.

> Go telemetry is an opt-in system, controlled by the go telemetry command. By default, the toolchain programs collect statistics in counter files that can be inspected locally but are otherwise unused (go telemetry local).

> To help us keep Go working well and understand Go usage, please consider opting in to Go telemetry by running go telemetry on. In that mode, anonymous counter reports are uploaded to telemetry.go.dev weekly, where they are aggregated into graphs and also made available for download by any Go contributors or users wanting to analyze the data. See “Go Telemetry” for more details about the Go Telemetry system.

Can't wait to hear what archaeologists have to day about this interpretation. This is a fun topic to speculate about.

Meanwhile, in case anybody's interested, the Younger Dryas hypothesis is controversial, not widely accepted by the experts, and dr Sweatman appears to be a Chemical Engineer, not an Archeologist. Not that it discredits his findings, of course.

I would use Americium-241 instead, longer half life and much more availability.

Lower power, but a telescope like this does not need constant power, so some kind of short term power storage (capacitor I would assume, or some kind of ultra long life battery) could handle that.

I think miniseries failed to sufficiently hint at the meaning of the ending, that it is just a bomb that Marness talked about and not the machine she expected. It does have some plot relevant mistakes too, like that Paul is taken over before Marion leaves the chamber (Marion leaving the chamber while being aware of 3125 is the immediate cause of this outbreak, or at least I understand it this way). Portrayal of Grey is excellent though.
Tesla has yet to demonstrate autonomous driving capability. A human ready to intervene in long tail scenarios (which is the hard part of the problem) does not constitute autonomous capability, no matter what the marketing material says.

When I was a kid, my mom would keep a cup of dead pens next to the phone just to annoy my father and I when we went looking for a pen :-)
Oh, ok, the test and operations case makes sense. As for your questions:

1. It's basic networking tasks such as running a network drop, assigning IPs, making sure the PLCs are on the right subnet, etc. In many cases the PLCs aren't on a network at all and the IT team doesn't really know how to work with the PLCs and the OT team doesn't really know how to work with networks. Sometimes it's been easier to just add external sensors and go over a cellular network and skip the PLC altogether.

2. We use one of Ignition's modules to interface with the control systems directly. They have drivers for Allen-Bradley, Siemens S7, Omron, Modbus, and a few others. The downside is Ignition doesn't have an API, so we have to configure things using a GUI. Beyond Ignition, the other big provider of drivers is Kepware - they probably have a driver for everything, but again, they aren't really set up for use by developers trying to deploy to a Linux box. If the customer has an OPC-UA server set up, we can connect to that using an open source library.

3. What we've learned is that many customers rely on third parties (e.g. the machine manufacturer or a system integrator) to configure their system, so when it comes to extracting the data they want, you're kind of on your own. We're not industrial system experts, so this creates a unique challenge. Larger and more sophisticated customers will have a much deeper understanding of their systems, but these folks are usually going to be using something like Ignition and will already have the dashboards and reports so it's more a matter of integrating with Ignition.
> Either way people are throwing a case on to make the back straight again.

Alternatively it's just exploiting "everyone uses a case" to get a mm or two of space for the camera lens that can very productively use it. Thickening the whole device only makes sense for people who don't use a case, which is basically no one (well, me, but most people love their cases).
These scams are so pervasive now. So much $ stolen. Millions every month mostly affecting Americans, so it is a matter of national interest. Is the FBI even aware of this? I know they are aware of ransomware and other frauds, but no mention of crypto doubling scams on youtube. Surely, people have reported thefts to the FBI. Youtube does not have the resources nor the competence to stop it.
And if the universe was much denser, doesn't that imply that all that matter affected its surroundings gravitationally? And as we know, time runs slower near large masses. And when something falls into a black hole, according to our very own theories, it would also red-shift because of the black hole's gravitational pull without anything having to expand.
I also have regrets. You know, one time I had a 1084S Commodore monitor - pristine condition. One day it didn't want to turn on, and after a few weeks I just threw it in the trash. So ... incredibly stupid! People like me should get the death penalty.
I mean, the back didn't look a lot like an iPhone, but look at the front in white and compare that to an iPhone 4 in white.
Most people, from a person on welfare to all celebrities and almost all CEO’s, including Elon Musk, use iPhones. The Pixel and Android in general is simply not cool like the iPhone. Google has been making their own phones for over 10 years now and they’ve barely made a dent. What’s Google’s goal here?

I never used a case in my life, owned like 6 phones since my first Galaxy back in 2012. Much rather deal with a few scratches than touching some cheap case instead of the premium metal/glass.

My reason is that I never sell phones anyway, after 2 years I get a new one and give the old one to a cousin or something like that.
The bulk of consumers can't even tell the difference between a Pixel, Galaxy and iPhone. So, yes, probably, at least to first approximation.

Yes it's true, iPhone are popular, but it's a US-centric answer, because most of the rest of the world runs Android (Android has a 70.69% market share worldwide).

So Google has a really valid plan there.

Google claims their target is the "next billion people".

Also iPhones are very expensive, just relatively less expensive in the US (due to wages, low taxes, less intermediaries, etc).

Even a poor US citizen is often some sort of rich citizen in other parts of the world.

Of course, there are exceptions, for example, Kim Jong Un uses iPhone and MacBook Pro.
I was not asking the seriousness of the illegality (civil vs criminal), but rather whether independent generation is itself specifically directly illegal or not.

For example, I've heard of places where not being connected to the grid is illegal (revocation of your occupancy permit), with the local utility monopoly then demanding you sign their contract with onerous terms (effectively making those terms de facto private law). Someone could sum up that state of affairs as being "independent generation is prohibited", meanwhile the actual details give much more room for sidestepping.

Unless you're flying a drone, you don't need to match the power and energy capabilities of lithium ion.

On top of that, you don't have to match the internal resistance to match power. If you have plenty of material to absorb the heat, then you can tolerate more percentage points of loss.

In particular, while lithium ion batteries can be built to sacrifice discharge rate for a bit of extra capacity, something like a 3C discharge rate is easy enough to reach. And if your use case is powering a building for several hours, you might only need a .2C discharge rate. That would mean lithium ion as a technology is 15x overqualified, and a flow battery that gives you 10x less power would still be overqualified.

This happened to me with an XML based rules engine I wrote. First I needed conditions, then I introduced variables, then loops, then if-then-else. When I needed to handle errors, I realized that I just had invented something like BASIC in XML format. The interpreter was surprisingly short and concise mainly because XML ensured I didn't have to do the parsing.

Switched to dynamically compiled C# eventually.

It's still a running theme that their in-display fingerprint readers are uniquely terrible for many people, even 3 (now 4) generations after they started using them instead of rear-mounted capacitive sensors. I don't know why they struggle so much with that compared to every other manufacturer using exactly the same sensors from the same handful of suppliers.
AMD also had a project to make ARM CPUs that would work with its AM4 x86 socket for Amazon (Project Seattle, replace by Amazon's in-house Graviton). I see the Pico2 in a similar light. If customers want ARM or RISC-V Raspberry Pi has them covered. if the market moves away from ARM, they'll be well positioned.

Obviously these sponsored segments are effective marketing otherwise no one would pay for them, but I'm sure they're far less effective with users who seek out tools like sponsorblock.

You are not a making insightful point at all. Nothing in the world can guarantee you that "Y implies X", after all, we can be living in a simulation. Does that mean we should shutdown all scientific discussions by repeating what you stated? Of course not.
> What was the point of your question, if not to prove something?

My enjoyment. For what other reason would you spend your free time doing something?

> If you were trying to imply that the implementation doesn't exist, that implication was fatally flawed.

And if I weren't trying?

> If you were asking to waste time, then it worked.

I ask nothing, but if you feel wasted your time, why? Why would you do such a thing?

> If you had another motive, what was it?

As before, my enjoyment. Same as you, I'm sure. What other possible reason could there be?

> Nobody? Nobody wrote a citation.

There was a request for me to refer another party who was willing to talk about the subject that was at hand – one that you made reference to ('you called the idea of finding a citation a "waste of time"'). Short memory?

> Finding evidence for your own claims would not make you a middleman.

There wasn't a request for evidence, there was a request for a citation. Those are very different things. A citation might provide some kind of pointer to help find evidence, which is what I suspect you mean, but, again, if that's what you seek then you're back to wanting to talk to someone else. If you want to talk to someone else, just go talk to them. There is no reason for me to serve as the middleman.

> it's an important part of making claims.

Nonsense. If my claim does not hold merit on its own, it doesn't merit further discovery. It's just not valuable at all. It can be left at that, or, if still enjoyable, can be talked about to the extent that remains enjoyable.

Perhaps you are under the mistaken impression that we are writing an academic research paper here? I can assure you that is not the case.

No, it implies it expanded in the meantime. We can see that it was a hot plasma up until 300k years after the big bang. This isn't some redshifted illusion, the matter was literally packed so densely and thus so hot that it was in another aggregate state.

Don't get hung up on redshifts for evidence of the big bang. The CMB is the real smoking gun. Read up on it, it's entirely worth it. I can recommend Simon Singh's book "Big Bang".

There is also a plethora of other probes that in concordance all point to the same thing: that the universe is almost 14 billion years old and expanded from a very hot, dense state. It's settled science, really.

> Here is the rub: free software permits unconditional use.

I think you're wrong.

> The GPL without the A, or MIT or BSD licenses are not EULAs; they place restrictions or conditions on redistribution, not on use.

The GPL, at least, puts restrictions on use: you can't use the software in certain ways (e.g. use in a binary firmware blob) unless you distribute it in source form to the end users.

> The AGPL restricts use; it is an EULA: end-user license agreement. The antithesis of free software.

The AGPL does exactly the same thing as the GPL, just with a stronger distribution requirement: if you distribute access to end users, you must distribute it in source form to the end users.

The GPL was designed for the binary distribution age of software, the AGPL is the GPL for the SaaS distribution age. The GPL alone cannot satisfy Free Software goals in the new age.

This is a bigger issue than folks realize, visual inputs to GPT4 are really expensive (like several cents per dozen images in some cases), which means that you can't just spam the API to iterate on HTML/webpages with a software agent.

Yes, HIPAA compliance is on the roadmap and should be out in a few weeks. We spent a lot of time on healthcare/sensitive data use cases.

Google Document AI and Watson SDU seem to be an afterthought for IBM/Google. The accuracy and configurability often fall short when you want to use them in a production setting.

Comparing to other legacy document processing companies, I think there are a few areas where we differentiate:

1. We handle end-to-end workflows from integrating with data sources, defining the transformation, and automatically triggering new runs when there’s an update to the data.
2. We built our entire stack on LLM and Vision transformers and use OCR/parser to check the results. This allows the mapping and tasks to be a lot more robust and flexible.
3. We have validations, reference checking, and confidence score metrics that enable fast human-in-the-loop iteration.
Truth is, this days if a project have a code of conduct larger than 1 page, you should probably not invest your time helping it.
