In the 2001 movie AI, the protagonist children play with an "old" robotic teddy bear named "Teddy".

The bear's movement isn't great, and its voice sounds robotic. Projects like this make me think that Teddy either could be built with today's tech, or is very close to being buildable.

I don't find the language of the article full of "hype"; they describe the history of different forms of imputation from single to multiple to ML-based.

Unclear on that first point. The authors claim 26 MPa for CoRncrete, which is about the same as the higher end of the range of concrete (~28 MPa) but much cheaper. On the other hand, it sounds like the paper's saying it's also much less durable.

There’s still some environmental benefit; wood is so much lighter than concrete or metal as a rule, that you end up needing not only less material in general but also less material in the structure because the frame weighs less and needs less support, not to mention general carbon savings from transportation of heavy material.

It’s also a major time saver since unlike concrete it doesn’t need to set, and the products are basically manufactured panels that don’t need specialized workers to install.
When it comes to sports/games competitions, at least from my point of view, after some point of optimization, it becomes obsessive and frankly boring. AI is not new in this regard, but it is another nail in the coffin of fun. For example:

1. The amount of training and overuse of the body required to break records now is insane, like trying to beat Usain Bolt's record (see his autobiography). Athletes have to work themselves sick, and to be honest it is disgusting.

2. Athletes push themselves with drugs because often there is no other way to get ahead.

3. Grandmaster-level chess now has become a little boring TBH, because computers have made it such that the best human players have to spend inordinate amount of time on memorization and intense analysis, whereas the chess of the past certainly did not have so much focus on memorization. Some, but not to the level of today. Even Bobby Fischer agrees, which is why he invented Fischer random chess.

4. Now, the use of AI just pushes human achievement more into the mechanical. Analysis will be done for everything and it will become a world competition for the best but the competition will be so extreme as to be unhealthy.

Hey, I admire human achievement but our desire to achieve functioned best in times of information scarcity. The level to which some people compete today is rather sickening and seems so obscure and irrelevant except to those who get caught in the obsession.

To me, this use of AI is horrific and completely against the ideal of the healthy human spirit. Damn AI.

> Given the marketshare and their size they should go after Tyson for more than just price fixing.

Several years ago, there was a big immigration raid on a bunch of Tyson Chicken facilities.

They found about 900 undocumented workers.

Many of them gave evidence to officials, including written instructions from Tyson that advised them how to fill out employment, banking, taxation paperwork if they "didn't have documentation" and how to stay under the radar, i.e. Tyson didn't just know they might have undocumented workers, they were facilitating and actively enabling it.

In press conferences, when journalists asked "Are there any plans to investigate the company or issue fines or charges?", the response? "We are not considering that at this time." (And they never did.)

What it ended up looking like was that Tyson had been getting in some trouble, getting bad press for OSHA safety issues and perhaps had decided their undocumented workers were getting a little too angry about poor safety standards, making waves.

It would be entirely unsurprising to me if Tyson made a sweetheart deal with ICE that said "Hey, if you come to these plants, you'll get to make this big stink about undocumented workers" (and this was during the Trump administration), "but in return, can you leave us out of it?", very much shades of "Won't someone rid me of these meddlesome workers?"

> very expensive since they cannot scale

This approach does scale, but has new safety risks.

They aren't genetically modifying each patient's own cells, one patient at a time, but are trying to create a line of generic T-cells that will attack only the B-cells of any patient.

The risk is that genetically modified T-cells that are not derived from your own cells might attack all the cells of your body, and not just your misbehaving B-cells.

They have made additional modifications to the CAR-T T-cells that they believe will prevent them from going rogue, but more safely testing is needed.

From what I've read, this same more generic approach is being attempted with CAR-T cancer treatment as well.
The primary thing that's missing is any evidence that the claim is true, or even plausible. There's no indication that they even tested this with kids.

I don't take advertising at face value, even if that advertising might appeal to sci-fi sensibilities. Your question has an air of "well you can't PROVE the flying spaghetti monster is false."

> Automattic is the unambiguous bad guy.

I wouldn't say that's what people are saying. I've been a vocal critic of Matt's actions in these threads, and my perspective is basically this:

WP Engine may be exactly as bad as Matt says it is. They may be contributing too little and taking too much. I've seen enough of corporations to believe that that can happen.

None of that matters any more after Matt's actions in September. WP Engine has put forward convincing evidence that Matt attempted to extort them into paying tens of millions per year to Matt's for profit under threat of launching a smear campaign. Matt then demonstrated that the boundaries between Automattic (the for profit) and the open source project don't exist by locking millions of WordPress users out of the plugin ecosystem over this dispute with the for profit.

That plugin ecosystem is the WordPress project. By messing about with that ecosystem Matt showed that he is both able and willing to singlehandedly screw over anyone who uses WordPress because he has a dispute with their hosting provider.

That's the issue now. I don't see WP Engine as white knights fighting a villain, but Matt turned what could have been a united effort to improve the WordPress ecosystem into a battle between greedy corporations and it's Matt who showed that he doesn't care who gets caught in the crossfire. The issue isn't that Automattic is the unambiguous bad guy in this suit, it's that Matt has demonstrated he has more power than he can be trusted with.
I imagine that, due to the societal expectations historically placed on women, they’ve typically had to be “the adult in the room.” Contrast this with men historically being able to get away with acting childishly (or worse). So when terminology used in the workplace is particularly vulgar, it would follow that women would take more issue with it than men.
The point is that there are a lot of other things which easily become a problem if you do them by yourself instead of using known good implementations.
How easy would it be to have an entire distro (re)built with BOLT? Say for example Gentoo?
I would agree with the comment you're responding to, too often in tutorials or especially in off hand comments here, I find their usage to assume some common but unindicated convention or subtext and obscure the concept they're trying to convey.

I want to talk my input and read its output. Both are faster.
I think the most vulnerable spots in the industry are in concept art and matte painting, though I also think companies are starting to realize it's not all its cracked up to be. A colleague that also contracts for [big famous FX and animation house we all know and love] said they fired their entire concept art department last year and replaced them with prompt jockeys.... for a few weeks. The prompters could bang out a million "great start" rough drafts in an hour, but then when their boss came around and inevitably said "oh, this one is the one to stick with. Just move this to the right and that to the left and make this bigger and that smaller and make this cloth purple" and they were cooked. They didn't even have the comparatively basic photoshop skills to do a hack job there, let alone make changes by hand-- so they'd struggle with control nets and inpainting and more prompts but the whole thing was one gigantic failure and they were begging the centuries of concept art expertise they unceremoniously booted out the door for forgiveness. And those workflows don't require anywhere near the control that, say, compositing does.

My biggest hope for the professional use of these things is in post-render pre-comp polishing for simulations and pyro. They're so good at understanding patterns and having smooth transitions that they can make a nonsense, physically absurd combination of images blend together perfectly... one of my favorites was a background guy's nose in a sepia toned video was neatly melded into a distant oncoming train. I think that could be really great for smoothing out volume textures and things like that. Given, that probably has more to do with my specialty than anything.

My main problem is that I'm just starting out my career in this field after switching from a decade of python dev work, and then doing some visual design before going to art school where I graduated at the top of my program having mostly concentrated in making cool shit at the Houdini/UE confluence. Two years ago everyone was saying "holy crap you've got the golden skillset," and now everyone's like "oof... hang in there... I guess..." Even aside from the strike aftermath, nobody in the market has any idea what to do right now, especially with juniors, let alone a really weird mixture of junior + senior dev that I am with a few contracts under my belt and a ton of really solid coding experience, but nothing really impressive in the industry itself. Who fucking knows. I think a lot of people in charge of hiring are waiting for a moment where it's going to just be sort of obvious what they need to do, and don't want to hire people into FTEs that are going to be eliminated through ai efficiency gains in 6 months. I don't have a lot of insight into the hiring side of the business though.
Maybe so, but the fact remains.

You should not be calling getentropy() often enough to be concerned about it's performance. Of course RAND_bytes will be faster because it doesn't have to context switch into ring 0 to do the job. The vDSO feels like a complete punt by libc authors on providing a sane interface to random number generation particularly in threaded environments, but to be fair, POSIX really is zero help here.

Finally if you just need to seed an RNG once in a single threaded process, there's always getauxval(3) with the AT_RANDOM op, combined with any number of RNGs works a real treat.
I'm at a loss for words. If you really think there's no difference between a human and a machine, I don't know what to tell you.
No memeing necessary - most vocal and visible (eg mainstream or platformed) libertarians are…a lot, and not in a good way.

Well, just want to point out that not all content creators do this. I have a channel and I make videos that are to the point and scripted. It probably won't interest you much but just saying that it IS possible to do it. I record a concise script AHEAD of time and the sync the recording to the script. And I still make money off it.

So yeah, youtube videos CAN be concise, but I have actually two explanations for why many are not:

1. Most people want to put in mid-roll ads

But that can't be the only reason -- if it were then a few creators could take over the market by making concise videos. So here's the second reason:

2. Many people watch YouTube for entertainment, not for learning information and they like to see long-form videos because they also want the pseudo-social interaction of watching their favourite creators.

It doesn't appeal to me personally but it is what it is.
when we hacked boost::*_ptr to do this, we used an environment variable to turn on the types we wanted traced. there would have no point in tracing every type that was managed with smart pointers, so there has to be at least 1 line of code modification just to identify what you wanted traced.

1) Grizzlies are known to ear marmots if they can catch them. Those bears are able to move big stones. One bear that would specialize on open the tunnels and chase the rodents on their nests, could trigger the demise of the wild population in months or weeks. Even before we could notice it.

2) Bears will compete for the same fruits and resources in autumn and have big appetites. Marmots need those fruits to survive winter.

3) Vancouver Marmot societies can collapse suddenly if the number is reduced, because they need a minimum number of watchers for protection while the other eat.

The risk simply doesn't worth it at this moment. Professional advice should be relocation of the bears until the marmot situation improves and creates a minimum number of individuals that would act as a safety buffer. Those bears at least should be radiotracked ASAP and followed by Biologists and specialized workers. That would be the minimum action required. If they enter on the area with marmots they must go. Prioritizing safety of the critically endangered animals over the common species is the correct decision.
So I think this is mostly reasonable advice, but I do have to question disabling ICMP/ping and IPv6. I'm not aware of any actual attack that ping allows? And IPv6 should be fine if you have a firewall (which I would rather expect any regular COTS consumer router to have). The link on that suggestion describes a very specific problem where your router is also your WiFi AP and uses the old approach of just shoving the entire MAC address in to its v6 address, but am I wrong in thinking that it would be weird to see that actually happening in a new router, where new is "still getting security updates"?
