why data is a bad idea, we should focus on how to make it work for us. Let's think about how we can create systems that prioritize individual autonomy and consent over data aggregation. In the end, it's not about data itself being bad, but how we choose to use it that matters.
It will be interesting to see what records the Enhanced Games (where athletes are allowed to take [more/different] performance enhancing drugs openly) throw up when they are held.

You'd need to persuade someone already at a pretty elite level to take part though. Maybe someone who just did their last Olympics?
I bought a Kawai ca99 digital piano three years ago.

The feel is great. The simulated sound is pretty damn good, with a lot of attention to harmonics produced by undamped strings.

The built-in speakers do however quickly reach their limit when played at high volume and distortion artifacts can be annoying.

I'm not a professional pianist. I tried a few pianos both digital and some vertical pianos and I have to say that this one is the best instrument I have played so far.
wow, kardinal sounds cool for consolidating pre-production clusters! let's stop duplicating and start simplifying our kubernetes environments. who else is all in for the hyper-lightweight multitenancy framework trend? let's discuss!
Real example: when you're working on the data analysis of one of the "beyond the standard model" physics experiments. For example, there is one where they basically shoot a big laser against a wall and see if anything goes through. Spoiler: it won't.

Such an experiment will usually see nothing and claim an upper bound on the size of some hypothetical effect (thus essentially ruling it out). Such a publication would be reviewed and scrutinized rather haphazardly. Regardless, the results are highly publishable and the scientists working on it are well respected.

Alternatively, the experiment might see something and produce a publication that would shatter modern understanding of physics, which means it would be strongly reviewed and scrutinized and reproduction attempts would happen.

Since the a-priori probability of such an experiment finding something is absurdly low, the second case would almost always lead to an error being found and the scientists involved being shamed. Therefore, when you do data analysis for such an experiment, especially if you want your career to move on to a different field or to industry, you always quickly find ways to explain and filter away any observation as noise.

And no, a lot of them don't use data blinding...

This tool hits the nail on the head for anyone struggling with lead generation! WebLead AI has made it so much easier to source quality website and LinkedIn leads.

One suggestion—adding an integration with popular CRM platforms could take it to the next level, streamlining the process even further. Great work!

with this bitwise magic, my code will find the sign faster than you can say "boolean operation!" who needs branching when you've got clever tricks up your sleeve? hate to say it, but this beats the obvious way, hands down!
Thanks, interesting. As a musician I suppose it’s not worth switching away from the original until I have an understanding of how Cardinal works “better”.

There are many ways to calculate an earth position, sure - to name a few; triangulation from stations, LORAN, or a combination of the two with a frequency change and some moving stations such as one of the five GNSS constellations.

There are many coordinate systems; these days in 2024 it is almost universal to calculate from various stations to a WGS84 position, in that coordinate system and using that geodetic datum.

Back in the day, there were many datums in common use, based on a plurity of reference ellipsoids, with a multitude of pojections in common use.

To this day there are several thousand indexed earth coordinate systems:

Sure, quarks and leptons are maybe a high-level concept that masks a more messy underlying reality, but surely quarks and leptons are less messy than dogs? There is an arrow of progress in the development of physical theories. I don't see a reason why a perfect description should not be possible.
"It continues to be sucked into the private warehouses of powerful organizations, further entrenching their power. This centrifugal force is political in nature."

it really isnt as bad as people on twitter say it is. msft is easy to throw shade at, and a lot of bandwagoning. trust me, im an expert.
OAuth is nice when you're making an interactive in-browser SaaS. Sucks for just about any other application, in particular anything that may run headless.

Thankfully, OpenAI and the like offer actual APIs I can use for software and automation I write. And it is my right, both as a user and a developer, to let someone else write the software I'll use with my keys. It's up to me to decide if I trust that software, and suffer the consequences of a mistake. It's like the most basic way of using software, and I appreciate when I can use it like that, without having anyone insert themselves in the middle to help me stay "more secure".
Technically true but if you are going to use SPIR-V you might as well jump over to Vulkan. Do you know of any OpenGL games that actually ship SPIR-V? I can imagine it getting used in CAD applications with huge legacy OpenGL code bases but for Games OpenGL+SPIR-V doesn't really have a good use case.
Yes, we're now at an inflection point where this is starting to become possible. gpt-4o mini costs $0.15 per 1 million input tokens, and $0.60 per 1 million output. This is cheap enough that it can, at least in some cases, be funded by ad impressions.

Of course, the implications here are mixed. If you want to build an ad-supported tool that actually helps people, that's great. But it also means it now makes clear financial sense to fill the web with AI-generated garbage with the assumption that that ad impressions will pay for it.
Worked for an old ISP in 2012 (it started when the state owned telco was privatized). Also had the ctunnel to manage old SONET crap, still had modem pools running, racks full of purple Sun machines still running, vax, hpux, as400, etc. Even the old smsc that was 5 racks of dec servers was still there, was never removed as they didn't need the space because modern equipment was using all the available power anyway (was also in a mountain so a bit of a hassle to remove).
What was the most weird answer that you could check on that test?

For me, it was "0x11A Have you ever toggled in boot code on the front panel?" When I still used PATA HDDs and BIOSes didn't have F11/F12 boot menu, I wired a front panel switch to Master/Slave HDD jumpers, so I could toggle boot drive without entering the BIOS setup. I guess that counts.
It's impressive to see how WebLead AI was born out of the need to streamline lead generation. The time saved by automating such a crucial aspect of business growth is a game changer, especially for small and medium-sized businesses. Looking forward to seeing how this tool evolves and contributes to more efficient B2B outreach. Great work on turning a challenge into a practical solution!

I really want to try out before dismissing the concept. If implemented correctly that could be fantastic. But I can also see how employers could abuse it by forcing the feature on employees devices.

its an attempt by microsoft to flex about their new "AI PC" which just means it comes with this npu that is optimized for the processing workloads associated with various ai usecases. an attempt to profit on the AI hype by pitching their users reason to buy a new computer.
.. as a shareholder company that is mostly (<- I suppose) decision-by-data driven, I would be keen to accumulate as much data as possible. Also, I would need to measure the usage of my products. Because I need to minimize my costs, while maximizing my income. The first is easy: throw everything out that is not really needed and optimize the processes, as off, hard- and software and other shapes.
The second one is difficult, because it costs you money before you even get return. And even if you find the buyers and money spenders and so hypothetically can reach the maximum return, you still have to pay for it - actively minimizing the return.

So.. get all the data you can. What it can be used for, can be seen afterwards. Also, getting signals and time stamps allows one to see the interaction of users with your product. So it can be optimized. I don't see a big Problem with that :) so I think it's a proper way for me as Google. What users think is not my problem. Use it or leave it. From me "google" you get good and optimized products for usage. May be not the best, but still good.
I think it has changed shape: the ideologies are the same but the application is different due to the society, complexity of tech, social media, internet, regulation etc.
Cardinal takes money via Github sponsorships. It appears that the original VCV Rack developer’s efforts are a money-maker for a few people…
If you have clinical-ass depression or executive-ass dysfunction, lowering the barrier to exercise can be really important. Sure, $1400 with a $40 subscription is way too expensive, but there's definitely a case to be made for the exercise bike in front of the TV for a lot of people.

I pay attention to all the CVEs daily (or as much as I can). the other one is something found in IPv6 by a research group that allows root level remote code execution by exploiting IPv6 packets, but what I'm getting at is, Windows I'll be trusting, absolutely not if it's going to be playing with this 'Recall' thing.
Not really about the sugar point. At times people crave savory or something high starch+fat based. For instance, little kids generally tend to crave for very sweet things but at times prefer something like pizza or pasta over something sweet (this is based on a personal second-hand observations). This is also the case for humans, for example during cheat days that people don't simply eat sweets (for example Dwayne Johnson finishing up something like 12 pizzas as one of the things on his cheat days).

Wireless charging can be surprisingly efficient. You should check out this video where wireless charging beats wired charging in end to end efficiency: https://youtu.be/AE1gaNO9nj0?si=E3y_y28lpCXU_WLt

In that case it’s probably more due to a particularly inefficient DC fast charger. (It’s been a long time since I watched it so I might not remember the details right.)

In the end it doesn’t have to be exactly as efficient as wired charging, and probably never will be for a good implementation of a wired charger. It only has to be so close that you don’t care about the difference.

I don’t think the inverse square law is very relevant on these scales. Electromagnetic radiation can be focused.

If they hadn't, they would have been replaced by the political leaders. Generals don't get to dictate policy.

Also, the generals at the time were dealing with a very new form of warfare they really weren't used to. Basically, I'd say they were mostly incompetent, but it seems like the invention of the machine gun and how it'd radically change infantry warfare was something that took everyone a while to come to grips with. I do wonder why it seemed to take so long for them to adjust their tactics though.
It'd be interesting to see this evolve into a reliable way to spin up a Linux or Windows VM with GPU passthrough. Since Haiku's GPU acceleration story is (last I checked) rather nonexistent, it seems like it'd be a good way to put an otherwise-unused GPU to use, so long as the GPU supports passthrough in the first place.
That's on them though. It's nice to have an option where the third party app just provides its value-add, instead of insisting on being the first party.

It could help, but the parts it would help with are the easy parts. The challenges of py2 to py3 were the runtime behavior change: a Unicode and regular string containing ASCII were the same string in py2, as in you could use them as keys of a dict and they'd key the same entry. In py3 a bytes and str of the same ASCII would identify different entries in the same dict.

Some more nasty changes: various built ins like .keys() and .values() return lists in py2 but iterators in py3. Code gets very verbose if you use the six utilities or other workarounds to translate code safely - most times those are called they are used once, but every once in a while they are used twice.

Imo if you have such a tool that can rewrite at import time you should just commit the transformed code, and clean it up incrementally. The hard parts are the behavior changes that can cross long distances like the str v bytes behaving so different than py2 Unicode v str
Thanks, would using a topological sort or other simpler algos, not sufficed processing the graph with cycles directly, may not be as optimised as Pregel, but would have been simpler.

Well, in Italy postcodes define city areas, and cities, for example for my city the main postcode is 80100, but my area is 80142, and it contains few buildings, so it's different from UK, UK was the first time I saw such specific postcodes, and I've lived also in Germany and Netherlands

Nah, Windows 11 finally pushed me over the edge, and as soon as I switched I realized the only Microsoft product I really liked was OneNote, which now works on Android and Mac.
I have to offer a hard disagree here for a number of reasons.

First of all this is just blatantly disregarding the first order quality of life benefits, which is beyond inexcusable. The second chance at an elevated quality of life counts as legitimate rationale in and of itself. Even a 'season' of improved quality of life needs to matter to those of us who value health and life.

But secondly, as a consequence of the above, it can dramatically shift the odds of maintaining good habits in a positive direction. It's easier to initiate and sustain momentum from a position of strength, of enjoying a benefit that's already in hand, than it is to try and summon the extraordinary willpower necessary to initiate and power through a long-term health journey. I don't see any reason to force people to take path that except for a confused desire to impose pull-yourself-up-by-your-bootstraps moralizing.

Third, it appears to come with the benefit of moderating cravings for alcohol, which in and of itself is such a critical health benefit is that it could compensate for even quite serious side effects, if it had them.

Fourth, it does address significant root causes. Unlike a bariatric surgery or gastric sleeve, it is an intervention that impacts cravings and metabolic processes at their source. Different people are born with different exposures to the risks given our reward and addiction systems. Our relationships to those risks is not more or less healthy, more or less attestament to our self-control, many of us are getting those benefits for free and aren't truly challenged. Nor should we be. Whatever our initial state we didn't "earn" that and once again I think it's confused moralizing true require people to essentially rewire their reward systems out of a subjective belief that that's more pure path to self regulation.

Fifth, it is a medicine and medicines involve tradeoffs. Being qualified to prescribe medicines involves being trained to think coherently about a trade-offs. If you're not trained, then ignoring benefits and focusing on negatives might feel like it's some form of enlightened skepticism. But it's just as much malpractice to ignore the benefits of medicine as it would be to ignore negative side effects. Even it's necessary to maintain a lifelong relationship with the specific form of medicated intervention, that can be a net positive trade-off for long-term quality of life.

thanks for the links. as far as i can telll 38193 is just a priv esc so they need code execution locally first. but the two exploits you linked could possibly be chained together and that would be a pretty sophisticated attack, especially when they were 0day. but still, if you are behind a router they cant just throw this at any consumer.
That is potentially extremely dangerous for the person they mistook you for as well, and they would have NO way to notice it and fix it. Catching that mistake possibly saved both of your lives!

Idea (ok) vs execution (crap)
Why do Michelin star restaurants cost so much when there's hungry children in developed countries? Why does finance and adtech pay so much when there's a shortage of teachers? Why is so much engineering effort and materials spent on luxury goods when infrastructure is crumbling? Why are five star hotels so expensive when there's a shortage of care workers for old people?

The answer to all these questions is the same.
Even wrong theories can be useful in some contexts, Newtonian gravity for example. Take it to an extreme: say quarks aren't useful at all for science, but are a useful conceptualization pedagogically, it can still be worth.
A model's need for data is a sort of reciprocal to its inductive bias strength. The more permissive is your model (can learn anything/fit noise perfectly), the more data you need to tune it to a useful state. Conversely, the more restrictive is your model (e.g. y = ax + b), the less data you need (e.g. two points).

People needed a lot of data to predict the movement of planets (entire books of numeric tables), until laws of gravity were figured out, at which point it was reduced to a couple of parameters. This same principle applies to modern AI too, the more you restrict your inductive bias to the sort of structures and dynamics you expect to capture in the wild, the less volumes of data you need to tune.

So is "data a bad idea"? Only as bad as your world model is good. Perfect model of the world requires zero data, weak model of the world requires lots of data.

Looks like it won't transition away from using the filesystem though:

This is one of those situations where naming and shaming is not only acceptable, but a moral obligation. I especially would want to know which hiring managers are among those 7 out of 10 who believe fake listings to be morally acceptable, such that I and others can save myself the time and effort of going through a pointless application process.
Yet another fine example showing why standards should be at least readable to everyone for free, eh?

The general public at large already pays huge amounts of money to various standardization organizations, be it ISO, IEC, DIN, UL, whatever. The resulting works should be public domain, similar to patents.

I'm using Hasura connected to a postgres DB at the moment. What you have built sounds great.

Hasura offer a self hosted solution so that I know if they decide to close shop for whatever reason, I'm not stuck in the lurch and have to reengineer my entire solution. Do you offer this now or are you planning to?
I am a bit surprised by how hard this article makes out the problem to be.

Crowdsourcing should make short work of the problem, with the right incentives, which the government will be able to offer.

Additionally private map providers (e.g. Google, Apple) must surely have this data (since they are able to route navigation to private addresses). Why not just negotiate with them?
I absolutely think that OpenAI or Anthropic should provide such integration. It’s very similar to how Apple Pay centralises your subscriptions and makes payments secure and simple. Would be nice if AI labs had an equivalent portal where each authorized app gets its own key and I can cancel any time and control my spending. Finally that might enable some kind of monetisation if OpenAI or Anthropic give developers a cut, e.g. 10% mark-up that goes to the authorized app.
The British mail addresses are pretty interesting. We quickly learned that, as you say some postcode have just one or two houses, which may not have numbers, but names.

I'm sure there is a "falsehoods programmers believe about addresses" somewhere.
