This simply does not pass the smell test. If you want to analogize biological brains to ANNs then clearly evolution refines the architecture of the "natural neural network," not the data. No ANN training involves adding artificial neurons, defining new types of artificial neurons, etc, but that clearly describes the biological history of the brain.

Taking this article literally, the brain hasn't really changed much since nematodes, it's just absorbed a ton of data. That's transparently stupid. All species, including humans and worms, have evolved over billions of years to get where they are today. Why is it that only humans get to access the billions of years of data? I am guessing the author has childish views about humans being "the most evolved" species. But all species are more evolved than they were 1m years ago.

This entire article relies on a dumb bait-and-switch. It's an incoherent analogy which seems motivated by a desire to simply excuse away the shortcomings of transformers.

They are asking about LLMs. There is a confusion it seems -- you are thinking of the object detection model (YOLO) which runs perfectly fine in (near) real time with a Coral or other NPU. The parent is referring the Llava part, which is a full-fledged language model with a vision projector glued onto to it for vision capability. Large language models are generally quantized (converted from full precision float values to less precise floats or ints for instance F16, Q8, Q4) because they would otherwise be extremely large and slow and require a ton of RAM (the model has to access the entire weights for every token generated, so if you don't have a gigantic amount of VRAM you would be pushing many tens of gigabytes of model weights through the system bus slowly).
I tried several times to find an appropriate answer to your comment, but it's hard. If you do not realize that "Europe" is made up of many vastly different countries, and that Bavaria is not a part of Hungary, then I just don't know what to say.
As much as we can plot out and understand exponential growth curves, I'm pretty sure people in 2005 would still be shocked to hear about GPUs with hundreds of gigs of RAM, with bandwidths around a Tbps, and not just one per server, but hundreds of industrial greenhouse sized buildings with a million of them, each, consuming entire nuclear plants of generation output.

Also you could blow their minds with a 24 TB HDD. It's as nuts as telling a 2024 person about a 1 PB HDD in a regular PC.

> What now?
> wonder why?

What now is you have a fantastic opportunity to learn some topics in depth. Using Unity is also no guarantee that you'll come across those terms. And even if you do, if the Unity solution is to check the correct boxes you're exactly better off from a knowledge point of view.

I'm not advocating for not using Unity, but I am advocating for learning, increasing the depth of your understanding, and just a general approach of curiosity and problem solving.

You’re over prioritizing an edge case while ignoring benefits, I’d say.

If you want to talk about blast radius: PEX is substantially more resistant to freeze bursting. What about houses that are poorly insulated, so they are prone to pipe freezes? Copper pipes would be ill advised in that situation. I assume the same houses that are prone to rodent infestations are also poorly insulated. Which is more likely to happen I suppose depends on your climate.

That's not even really true. The rom that most people use competitively was created because it makes things like score tracking above the ordinary limit easier. It just happened to also patch out the crashes (which were discovered later). It isn't like Dog said "I'll use this rom to avoid crashes". The community has mostly used this rom for years as their base choice already.

In an attempt to stop talking in circles, it seems we primarily disagree on the definition of "to make money" and whether it should consider opportunity cost + time value of money. The CNBC headline doesn't say return, it uses the aforementioned idiom.

IMO it absolutely should in this case, especially since the creditors demonstrated their desire to invest in the opportunity being considered, but I don't really care enough to argue about it over the Internet.

nteresting reading. I think the article kind of misses the point. The problem was the queuing of requests where nobody was waiting for the response anymore. The same problem would manifest on a monolith with this queuing. If the time to generate the response plus the maximum queue time were shorter than the timeout on the client side, the request amplification would not have happened. The first thing I do on HTTP-based backends is to massively decrease the queue size. This fixes most of these problems. An even better solution would be to be able to purge old requests from the queue, but most frameworks do not allow that, probably due to the Unix socket interface.
at the end of the day morphdom (and my own algorithm, idiomorph) can only do so much, because the current DOM APIs nuke much of the state of nodes when they disconnect from the DOM

if you look at the algorithms they give up very quickly and simply merge the new nodes in once matching doesn't work at a certain level because of this

there is a new API coming down the pipe, moveBefore(), that will allow much better morphing/preservation in general:

That was how I initially approached them. I told them I made a mistake with my birth date and asked if there was any way to correct it. They asked me to send a photo ID with my name and birth date, which I assumed was to replace the old date. I then realized they meant the ID had to have the fake date and we went 'round and 'round (and 'round) on that until I gave up on them understanding what I actually wanted to do. Now I'm trying the more direct 'Please help me delete the account.' approach. I'm not hopeful, but you never know!

I read this and wondered,

"what Planet software is Planet Haskell using that it's doing these odd things - oh, it's Venus? https://github.com/rubys/venus ... wow that's old... and doesn't that use something like filesystem storage for the feeds and couldn't this happen if you stored the xml with no character set specified and the parser messed it up on the way back in? Which since it's ending up with a windows encoding...wait, why am I remembering any of this....oh. checks credits for Venus, recordscratch yes, that's me, wondering why I fixed venus to run on windows 18 years ago"

https://github.com/rubys/venus/commit/210781768705d20dc3cbe6...

Sorry about that. As I recall at the time I was the only person using Venus on windows, and I was just running a hacked up version on a local machine. There's some conditionals in there about whether it uses libxml2 or not (in modern python, it wouldn't need to), that call doesn't take a charset parameter and my guess is the problems begin as soon as libxml2 tries to parse the file on disk. I think my own version was frankensteined to the extent of using a sqlite back end so I didn't have to deal with windows files any more.

The author of Venus, Sam Ruby, is on here (rubys) but it looks like he hasn't checked in for a long time; last I saw he was over at fly.io.

Oh and the even funnier part of this all is, back when this was written, Sam's blog was THE go to place to look up the list of Mojibake mistakes you'd made...

The key is field. A physicist use maths will not get maths prize if just use it for physics.

He use words and its lyrics has meaning, like any literature. Cannot say poetry is not literature. Then why not poetry with music, probably more traditional as many poems are songs. In some culture, it must be singable.

These use physics but not in the field of physics. Otherwise anyone use qm can get Nobel prize and chemistry people can get one as they all use physics. Really need to be in the physics field. You can use other method like computer, maths.

> if you decide to not use an engine when making your game, don't abstract it and also make an engine.

Exactly this. Do the minimal thing correct for your situation (your own rendering if desired/required or integrating a third party solution, free or otherwise) and don't spend a year on stable rigid body simulations in a completely general-purpose and reusable tool (that is only reusable for you because it's almost a guarantee it won't be general purpose enough or documented well enough for anyone else) if you don't need the objects to behave with some level of physical realism.

Smaller personal and hobbyist projects have the freedom to make a lot more choices around 'how' they get to their end goal, and I think they should use that opportunity. If you're genuinely intending to make the next indie hit, the actual tech is not likely to be the most difficult thing for success, whether you use Unity or your own tools.

> because everyone thinks everything is too hard to program yourself these days?

Without getting too cynical, it seems like there's a culture of ignorance in some places where large long-lived software projects created by other people over time are treated as black boxes, impossible to understand, and not for the likes of mere mortals to even attempt to comprehend.
Yeah in the episode they are definitely doing things that are not indicated in the manual. Makes for a much funnier bit though.
Back around the same 2015 time frame I think I was being very optimistic and stubborn when it came to Web Components. I very much wanted them to work, but didn't really get anything into production until around 2020. There was a v2 of the web component spec between then and now, but I'm not an expert in what changed. Now I'm seeing web components everywhere, especially in media players. i.e. Apple's web player.

I'm glad you like the controller architecture. The original version just had every element pointing directly to the media element, and the controller cleaned up a lot. Highly recommend it, at least compared to what I was doing.

A video editor UI I think is natural extension of the Media Chrome suite. I'd love to hear what else might be helpful there if you want to post an issue in the repo.

I can deeply empathize with your hesitation to adopt something like media chrome based on future flexibility and size. I'll give you 3 points that would sell me on it. :)
1. You can only include the UI components you need, which is at least a major difference from other web video players when it comes to size.
2. We have some of the most experienced player devs working on it, including for things like accessibility and upcoming internationalization.
3. We're working hard to make it super configurable between slots, css parts, and css vars.

Of course we'll never beat the file size of completely custom software, but I feel like it'll come pretty close once all the basic features are built in.

Thanks for the heads up on the elements license!

Why is it that a smart device (robovacuum or proximity sensor etc) etc require the same technology as a streaming webcam?

In other words, are there any HW-level privacy-preserving CCDs (for lack of a better word) that provide an image in a format that can't be snooped in? Like say, I need an 'image' that I use to detect certain objects - I don't really need a 1920x1080 24bit RGB image @ 30Hz?

In fact, with such a mechanism, certain other metrics (performance, better object detection) could also improve in addition to privacy?

I think this is related to the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Busy_beaver game. I count 5 bits on the tape, and BB(5) = 47,176,870 which seams like a tractable number of steps for a modern computer to check.

If I've understood it correctly, this means that any program for this machine which does not halt after 47,176,871 states will run indefinitely.

BB(6) is thought to be incredibly huge, so it's nice that they stopped at 5.

In some states there is additionally the personal benefit of older vehicles (usually 20+ years old) being exempt from annual emissions testing. This is probably a wash for society (harm from extra emissions - however much C02 emmissions you save by not purchasing a new car). Not having to pay $500 to replace a malfunctioning hard to reach sensor on a $1000 car is helpful if you don't have a lot of income though.

We’re dealing with this big time in Asheville now. When cell service came back at all, everyone had shitty intermittent 3G, and none of the websites we needed for basic survival information would load. A bunch of good people created some text only news sites, and today I noticed that the Buncombe county website finally has a low bandwidth site, but even then when I inspected it, it had 130k of bootstrap css and 50k of jQuery blocking rendering. It’s great that people are doing this work, but citizens needed this a week and a half ago. By now, I’ve figured out where to get water, food, non potable water, etc. Seeing tech fail so badly through all this has been eye opening for me, in a depressing way.
