Geofence a pager? How much extra stuff would they need to make room for in the pager in order to pull that off?
Today we access GPUs through standard APIs like DirectX, CUDA, OpenGL etc. In DOS there wasn’t these standards, and you had to write code for specific hardware.
This is very interesting. Question: could you have 1bn different datapoints you pull from a DB I.e. DynamoDB instead of boxes?
Was Ozempic Right for Me?
I'm imagining a small, flat robot with a skinny gripper using this sensor that can roam a floor, going under furniture, and grab anything it can find and bring it to a collection point. So it would have to deal with picking up coins laying flat, empty soda cans, full soda cans, toys, dead bugs, dust balls, pens, a very wide variety of objects. Different objects may have different force feedback requirements, picking up an empty aluminum can would be different than picking up a full can. Picking up a coin might require good sensing at the very edge of the sensor.

It might be useful to create a map of the sensors response across its entire surface. Is the edge response weaker? That might suggest some improvements like working on creating less dead space around the edges of the sensor.
I’m in desperate need of a phone. My current phone has a very cracked screen and I can’t afford a replacement.
You can also use Django REST Framework to make your API in a wonderfully simple way. Then build your single page app in whatever method you prefer.
You should have stepped over to the TU Berlin. A few month's before that concert, there was a performance/recreation of a concert that took place in Koln cathedral of various Messiaen organ works, played back on the WFS system installed at the TU. Much, much bigger than Henke's setup at Tresor, and it was a truly remarkable experience.
That’s classic “web ui”, the consequence of lowering the absraction level without providing and forcing developers to use useful mechanisms. So everyone just goes mindlessly with events which are badly targeted by design.

I’d say that desktop is an order of magnitude better, but a kde installation I have to work with also doesn’t register clicks on buttons sometimes. Because for the sake of ui-ness they used flat elements instead of buttons and forgot making them down-upable anywhere within to click. So when you move-quick-and-click it registers (I guess) drag instead due to the movement, and drag is a no-op.

Allowing clueless developers to use lower level and normalizing lower level graphics is a huge mistake these platforms make. The web is basically built with this in mind, that’s why it sucks.

20 years ago you couldn’t even imagine clicking around in a desktop app to see if radio works. People would literally laugh at you.
> I think it's a fair attitude if your only goal is to make money

Short term, yes. But it's a bit short sighted as most of the AI code I have seen has security and scalability issues that long term have potential to blow up in your face costing even more money.

Granted that can usually be fixed by better prompts. But to right those prompts requires the person doing the "prompt engineering" (rolls eyes) to actually have a working knowledge of a lot of areas such as architecture, security, software engineering best practices, etc. And a lot of the influencers out there pushing AI openly admit to "not knowing how to code" let alone knowing the right way to build a technology product so that it scales and is safe.

Question from a non-physicist:

If both sides measure the particle, both sides now know a fact that the other side knows. Let's say that both sides have previously agreed, at sub-light speeds, that "0" will mean "we both sell Microsoft stock" and "1" means "we both buy Microsoft stock". (Assume an entire list of actions so we have more than one bit of common knowledge.) Is this considered a form of FTL communication? Or just a hack?
Ah, thank you, I had totally misread that as not illuminated and black. More caffeine required.

> We would need a platform spec so that application developers can publish, users can discover and deploy, and platform providers can implement against a shared spec.

That's been tried with Linux Standard base, but it seems 'standardise on glibc 2.31 and Qt 3' is not a viable way to describe system dependencies.

Such a spec also doesn't exist for Windows or macOS systems.

If you target 'living' operating systems you need living applications that are updated to keep working. We're well past the point you can assume some 20 year old binary will work unless you're running it in an emulator.
Matt has chosen to keep Wordpress Opensource, and thanks to him for that.

This allowed companies like WPEngine to exist... and focus their resources like marketing and maintaining their internal "fork" rather than contributing to core Open Source Project... and this might be one of the reasons they are getting some good success.

Generally trademark is what should offer some protection here and I think this is where Open Source landscape was not tested well.

WP Engine claims on their front page they are "Most Trusted Wordpress Hosting" which arguably makes folks to assume they host full featured Open Source Wordpress, which per Matt's article does not seem to be the case.
Curious why the post has two hyperlinks to the WP Engine domain, and additionally without rel="nofollow", if they despise them so much. Isn't that WordPress essentially passing SEO link juice to WP Engine?
Maybe I misunderstand what you're suggesting, but aren't containers pretty much that application platform? Or stuff like Helm, when you're talking about larger, more complex deployments? I imagine Nextcloud needs at least a database, web server and the ability to send emails, and possibly some form of backup and high availability if you really want to rely on it. There are a lot of non-trivial ways to skin that cat.
The countries that were prosperous in 1724 were the ones that had highly developed trade networks and a market full of not-very-constrained individual players.

It is precisely by mimicking them that capitalism spread into other nations and pushed out various previous feudal forms, even though the local nobles fought back against the tide for decades and centuries, sometimes managing to stop it for a while.

If you take a historical map of Europe in the 18th century and mark various instances of liberalizing legislation on it, you can see the spread quite nicely. It is almost like an ink blotch spreading on a table.

The places that resisted the new ideas the most (the Ottoman Empire, the Russian Empire) and managed to keep their old feudal norms deep into the 19th century were the ones that ended up on the bottom, and had to speedrun industrialization and development in the 20th century under top-down reformers like Lenin and Ataturk.
Hezbollah bought a specialty item (pagers) and many countries/companies are legally prohibited from doing business with Hezbollah. My sense is that these two facts were all but necessary for Israel to carry out this operation. So "changed the world" is hyperbole.

I'm amazed when I see positive coverage of / nostalgia for Fable 1 for Xbox.

I was 15 at the time at the peak of Xbox vs Playstation vs Gamecube message board arguments on forums like NeoGAF.

And Molyneux's bullshit wasn't making it easy for us online Xbox crusaders. He made crazy claims like how it was an open world game with an advanced social system where you build relationships with people and can plant a seed and watch the tree grow if you were to wait next to it for many ingame hours. The lead up and hype made it part of gaming forum discourse for years!

Finally, Fable comes out and it's this short, easy, linear, arcadey, simplistic game. The super complicated reputation system was just a basic "you got +10 good/bad points" alignment system. "People remember your actions" just meant `if player.didThingX then cheer()`.

After all that, it was a weekend rental at best. I think I beat it in 8 hours. It was so disappointing.

After having not thought of Fable in 20 years, it's kinda funny to see it covered without the "gravity" of the waves it made in the Great Online Message Board Console Faction Wars. Not that the context was worth preserving nor that nobody should be allowed to enjoy it. It's funny because it was such a big deal to many of us forum crusaders.

But I guess that's part of getting old.
For a similar use case I’m using Azure Document AI - at least you can ask for markdown/html output directly from it instead of parsing the output structure from Textract.

I'm curious about why you're bringing Google into this. Is there some reason you think they'd totally be running a loosely targeted mass assassination program, except that they just can't plan ahead far enough?

That is such an out of the left field thing to lead with that I thought the article must have brought up this possibility somehow. But that doesn't seem to be the case either.

"We can’t imagine Washington passing a law requiring iPhones to be made entirely in the United States. Labor costs are too high, and our country doesn’t have the domestic capacity to make these things. Our supply chains are deeply, inexorably international, and changing that would require bringing global economies back to the 1980s..."

Yeah, and that's what is happening. Globalization has waxed and waned several times over the last few centuries. It is a matter of government policy, not in any sense "inexorable". It is currently waning, and will continue to do so for several decades, probably, for this reason and many others.
Refactor first and overarchitecting up front are completely different things, though.
I am excited and optimistic for the new game, but very aware of what an absolute train wreck the modern game industry (read: the execs and shareholders) is. I really, really, really want the new one to be good.
I was saying that I don't know what a particle is, and neither does anyone else, but subjective isn't quite the correct word.

What I am sayings is that there are many useful interpretations of what a particle "is" that allows science to progress. The theoreticians and the experimentalists use, sometimes even form, those interpretations to help them along in their work. I'm saying that they yet remain interpretations, even analogies; and it really doesn't matter whether those folks believe in an objective reality or not, good work still gets done. Maybe it's subjective in that sense, but a particle is whatever they say it is; and nothing more can be said with certainty unless you dive into philosophy.

You can measure a perturbation in a field, or a track in a bubble chamber, and call it a particle. Then you can work backwards to an "objective" representation, and a particle still becomes whatever you say it is. It's still scientific, consistent, mathematically rigorous, and in line with theory and observation, but it remains a human construct. You can't escape that. Ultimately, one is free to believe that there is some fundamental thing; and, maybe there is and maybe there isn't.

> literally everything we know of is whatever we say it is

Of course "literally everything we know of is whatever we say it is". That, precisely, is my point. It most certainly does not mean that we can just state anything as true unless it is sensible, consistent, observable and verifiable; and expect not to be challenged.
BSL Is also not Open Source, it is another kind of Source Available issue.

I admire this authors optimism but I don’t see Irvine becoming less suburb like in at least the next 4 decades.

All new development is very car oriented. The shopping plaza areas are all either strip mall style or mall style. As the author noted there is no downtown and that was by design. It’s an un-walkable place and does not have any sort of city character feel. It feels sterile, HOAd into bland brownness and grass. It’s like living in a 2000’s office park.

I do not get the impression there is an effort to make it more city like with any downtown area or less sterile feeling.
I'd never accept free work, because chances are it'll be low quality. Unfortunately, an email like this would go straight to spam. If you value your time at zero, I value your work at zero.
I don’t disagree that AI could exacerbate the issue, in fact I agree. But anything could potentially do so. Instant messaging likely also made the problem worse as a call to form a mob can reach many people much faster than before. The time from inciting incident to mob action is greatly compressed because of instant messaging.

It’s fundamentally a societal issue, not a technological one. Yes, it’s scary what effect AI could have on lynch mobs, because lynch mobs are scary.
Ding ding ding, that's the key. There are some people who will mug you for any amount > $0.00. You can't make crime disappear by lowering the value. As that value drops, though, fewer and fewer people will bother as the risk/reward ratio shifts. You'll still have crimes from people desperately sick with drug addiction who need something, anything, to get more, and they're notoriously bad and risk/reward calculations anyway. You'll have fewer crimes from people who'd otherwise think, hey, let's go out and boost some phones for spending money.

I'm not sure about other carriers, but for the past few years now that's how it's been on Verizon. The only lock in part is they waive interest as long as you stay a Verizon customer until it's paid off.
Respectfully, this just seems like a few reasons LLM's are frustrating at the moment. Having said that, there is indeed a seed and temperature parameter in the chat/assistant API that will enable (much stronger) determinism. The reason it's not 100% guaranteed to be deterministic is because they may run their model across different hardware, and hardware-level mistakes may accumulate.

With regard to DALLE - that's a fair complaint I didn't realize they don't have a seed for their API. You should really try switching to an open model if you can. You'll have complete control. I recommend flux-schnell or flux-dev.

Nobody needs a glass roof so bad that it should ruin the the cultural wonders of the past.

There is a general pattern that I unfortunately see too often with this kind of "post-modern architecture":

*it cannot stand on its own*.

Usually it just falls to the lazy stance of " asking questions", which means that some shallow, non-artisan disharmonic contraption has to be splattered on top of something that is unapologetically beautiful, just to gain any quasi-relevance.

I will tell you a secret: nobody is interested in that glass roof, except the jet set in Dubai.

Those insecure nihilistic bullshitters are bored and it shows because what they create is usually very boring. Art is hard and in a century there are only a few that can find a new voice. A medieval cathedral is not a play ground for anyone, let alone some commercial studios.

Artists need to learn to stand on their own.

In my eyes, this incident raises the question about every Israeli software developer and hardware developer I work with.

Could they be a part of another operation, infiltrating products I work with and eventually harming the reputation of company? Possibly, yes.
shrug They exist regardless, and the users have no real other options. I’ve found in my career that devs tend to fall into the “caring about the effect” and “caring about the artefact” buckets, and I guess you’re in the second category? There’s no one right place to be – without people in the second we‘d have less effective solutions overall – but I hope your team is also balanced by people in the first.

But BG2 is actually a bigger game IMO - yes, in BG1 there are a lot of areas where you can just wander and explore, enjoy the game atmosphere; there are only enemies, sometimes a simple quest, or a cave, etc. - but in BG2 while there are fewer areas, there usually have a lot of content, so you spend more game time in them.

The Itanium C and FORTRAN compilers eventually became very, very good. By then, the hardware was falling behind. Intel couldn't justify putting it on their latest process node or giving it the IPC advancements that were developed for x86.

If you wanted to do something similar right now, it's possible to succeed. Your approach has to be very different. Get a lot of advancements into LLVM ahead of time, perhaps. Change the default ideas around teaching programming ("use structured concurrency except where it is a bad idea" vs "use traditional programming except where structured concurrency makes sense", etc)

But no, throwing a new hardware paradigm out into the world with nothing but a bunch of hype is not going to work. That could only work in the software world.
