It's hard to square seeing the magnitudes of capability coming from genAI & AR and thinking the web UX is done because someone's idea of browser tab layout is boring

How we use the web today, with the Chrome engine and skins as the user agent, seems like the last decade's local optimum. The community is increasingly iterating to the next leap, and I don't think the winning companies will be perplexity.ai, Anthropic 's compute API, meta's Ray-Bans, or some browser ChatGPT extension startup. There is a lot of room for new winners.

I do agree with ZIRP comments saying this is NOT a matter like Zoom doing everything 10% better to be enough: browser teams need to be thinking 10X+ better on broad use. Brave tapped into the privacy & ads psyche, which is a leap for a large niche, but still not enough compared to some sort of more ambitious Jarvis etc rethink.

No one can know what the winning form factors will be without trying and finding out, so IMO, the next few years are a lot more interesting wrt UX then the last 10+!
HTML can never be improved, that is at the very foundation of its current form. We are 20 years into the takeover from the W3C and still can't even do a PUT request without JS, nevermind anything approaching even one tenth of the functionality of XForms.

The web of semantic documents died years ago, it's an application platform now and that means JS. HTML is naught but a payload carrier.
How Nature has fallen, how they relish in publishing articles by those who wallow in victimhood. From an objective meritocracy to a subjective victimacracy, from the scientific method to the the squeaky wheel.

In other words, if you feel you need to question whether you're invited when someone invites you to his winter conference because it happens to be summer where you are when the conference takes place, by all means consider yourself to be disinvited. It is clear the seasonal discrepancy is too much hardship for you and it is also clear the conference is much better off without having to cater to yet another victimhood hierarchy. Just ignore the invitation and be done with it.

For those who nevertheless want to consider going to a winter conference it is probably more informative to know it is going to be bloody cold - i.e. winter - when that conference takes place. This is good to know if you come from the southern hemisphere where it can be bloody warm around that time.

I have a battery-powered espresso machine.

It spends ~33% of its battery on one cup.

It sort of works if you bring pre-heated water in a thermo.

Heating water with conventional batteries is a terrible idea.
Arabic is an adjad, so of course not. The "combination" you're thinking of is akin to cursive - stylistic.
Yes, I came here to say something similar but anecdotal. I've seen multiple old electronics items where the plastic parts become sticky and give off smells that remind me a bit of vinegar, vinyl, and horrible pesticides.

I've sometimes wondered if it is just the chemicals breaking down as you describe, or even something like fungal metabolites.
I'll definitely be checking this out but if anyone has recommendations on a TTS system that generates good output and has well documented voice training tools I'm interested in this field and would like to dive in again. At one point I was using https://git.ecker.tech/mrq/ai-voice-cloning/wiki/Installatio... and llama to generate Obama speeches commemorating our DotA games, but the whole thing was very brittle, slow to generate and training voices was also slow and hit or miss.

This was a couple years ago but every time I look it doesn't seem like the field has any equivalent to ollama/ooba or auto1111/comfy, though perhaps this will be it. I'm all ears wrt recommendations!
(also interested in neural RVC, would be extremely useful for wreaking havoc on my discord :3)
They do differ, as Lina Kahn is proving and others before her. Sadly their efforts are too often sabotaged by Republicans who stand in the way or roll back the work.
I am building a digital replacement of all universities in the world with full courses across any subject, in any language, tailored to your individual learning style all.
> This means the same topic can be treated in completely different ways. For example geology.wiki/article/Mountain may be completely different different from poetry.wiki/article/Mountain.

Doesn't MediaWiki (and other common wikis) support this kind of thing already via the InterWiki-links system? You can set up a MediaWiki install such that [[geology:Mountain]] and [[poetry:Mountain]] go to the appropriate places. What does Ibis add that's not accounted for by this?

Besides, these days you also have https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q8502 - which includes links to the concept of "mountain" as represented in hundreds of sites. (You can use a browser-extension known as Entity-Explosion to make your browser aware of these links, giving you the ability to browse from any of the listed sites to any other with just a few clicks.)

The most straightforward one is that Rust doesn't have strict aliasing.
Literally ropes as in RoPE, rotary positional embeddings?
You’re assuming the price goes up as you approach, but it could equally go down - the whole point of “coupons” is to charge people more if they value time higher than money, and lower prices to those who value money more than time (usually lower income people). All other things being equal, a store would like more money, but raising prices reduces amount sold after the store already bought it and paid for it to be displayed, increasing the chance it is eventually wasted. You might find that stores regularly lower prices significantly towards the end of the day, or just for poorer customers, in order to reduce wastage. For those calling for regulation, the assumption is always that our analysis is so complete and obviously correct that regulation is justified - is there a reason we couldn’t actually wait and see if there are problems before trying to “solve” them?
> people who become hostile when you try to talk about something interesting

We’re becoming annoyed not because people are trying to talk about something interesting, but because they are being intentionally insulting and condescending and then using bad faith arguments like this one when they’re called out on it.

Which of these quotes represent the commenter “trying to talk about something interesting”?

> flaunting your ignorance and your anti-intellectualism

> The point is that anyone who's distracted by the arcanity of Web Assembly Text Format obviously doesn't understand the first thing about WASM

> You do know this is 2024, you have Internet access, and you can just look shit up

> In case you've been living under a rock and didn't realize it

> but you're whining, lashing out, and attacking people who are trying to explain it, and trying to police and derail discussions between other people who are more knowledgeable and interested in it, which makes you a rude anti-intellectual asshole… Why don't you just go away and let other people have their interesting discussions without you, instead of bitterly complaining about things you purposefully know nothing about and refuse to learn? How does it hurt your delicate feelings to just shut up and not bitch and whine about discussions you're not interested in?

> And that proves my point that you're flaunting your ignorance and your anti-intellectualism. But you be you. There's no point in trying to make other people stop talking about Lisp by complaining about how proudly ignorant you are, and how you want to remain that way, so you don't want anyone else to talk about it. This really isn't the place for that, since you always have the option of not reading, shutting up, and not replying and interrupting and derailing the discussion, so other more knowledgeable and curious people can have interesting discussions without you purposefully harassing them like a childish troll.

> Look, it's pretty clear I stepped on some insecurity.
It's sad how bad it became, but when comparing to U.S. Germany is still doing fine. Both due to number of trains and in delays.

What is the difference between a publishing system and a type setting system? Am I able to output tables and what would he the syntax?
Gravity is mostly theories. We cannot actually prove what it is or why it exists. We know how it affects things, but that’s about it.
Some might, not many. Most Americans go for the shortest travel time.

The CA high speed rail is targeting a 2h40min travel time between SF and LA.

The flight saved you more than an hour.

Maybe if it was far cheaper than flying there might be more demand.
If I would make any assumptions, I would post another 30 options from my config that are nice to have when you download audio from youtube. These 3 are exactly equivalent to what gp does.
Path tracing techniques usually focus on finding the most useful rays to trace, to focus only rays that hit a light (importance sampling).

RC is different, at least in 2D and screen-space 3D. It brute-force traces fixed sets of rays in regular grids, regardless of what is in the scene. There is no attempt to be clever about picking the best locations and best rays. It just traces the exact same set of rays every frame.

Full 3D RC is still too expensive beyond voxels with Minecraft's chunkiness. There's SPWI RC that is more like other real-time raytracing techniques: traces rays in the 3D world, but not exhaustively, only from positions visible on screen (known as Froxels and Surfels elsewhere).

Penumbra hypothesis is an observation that hard shadows require high resolution to avoid looking pixelated, but soft shadows can be approximated with bilinear interpolation of low-res data.

RC adjusts its sampling resolution to be the worst resolution it can get away with, so that edges of soft shadows that are going from dark to light are all done by interpolation of just two samples.
Fruit flies like a banana. English has its own ambiguity, so it isn’t really that different.

I can only write Chinese via an IME these days. For one, I’m left handed so writing characters was always a struggle since stroke order worked against me, but it’s mostly how I only use Chinese anyways.

I told my wife our kid should learn to write via an IME as well and she was just horrified about that, though. None of the teaching material really supports it.
there is no such thing as "real name" or "legal name" in the UK

the independent have used the name people would recognise in their headline
If you are using Docker, then you know the target system is Linux (unless you are building windows containers). There is no reason not to rely on filesystem features.
I'm building https://exoroad.com to help people find US places that are a better match for them to move to. Like compare stats on SF vs. NYC or find the warm places with good schools and low crime.
> Then coming to Australia it was like diet America which I found, and perhaps still do find, a little offensive.

Haven't heard it Australia described that way before. Mostly the descriptions have been a mixture of US and UK/EU cultural pieces.

What's the "offensive" stuff?
No, this is ridiculous. The claim isn't about "most browsers" but the ones people actually use. You know, Firefox and those based on Chromium and WebKit. There could be 100 browser hobby projects out there which don't support NAB, "most browsers" would then not support NAB, but pretty much everyone would still be using a browser which supports NAB.

"The major browser engines" is a commonly used phrase to refer to Chromium, WebKit and Gecko (and formerly Trident and Presto). You're willfully misudnerstanding it. Please stop.

This will be my last response in this thread, this conversation is absolutely ridiculous.
'''Context''' from yet another body that deliberately conflates anti-Zionism with anti-semitism? No thanks.
Interesting idea! Supercaps might be a better fit than batteries.
I've been on Brave with vertical tabs since the beginning of the year now. It doesn't seems like most people know about it, but it's more compact and faster than Arc and I couldn't imagine going back to Chrome now.

Tesla has liquid cooling around the cells, a fairly advanced system that can move heat between battery, motors, cabin, and environment in arbitrary directions.

Before just claiming no EVs do this, you could have typed “Tesla battery cooling” into Google and gotten this from the AI thing:

> Tesla vehicles have a built-in battery cooling system that uses an electric pump to circulate coolant and keep the battery's temperature within an optimal range. This helps the battery perform well and last a long time.

Here’s the battery cooling system theory-of-operation from Tesla, for their _first_ car almost two decades ago: https://service.tesla.com/docs/Public/Roadster/TheoryOp/1.2....

Here’s someone tearing down a Chevy Bolt battery talking about the coolant system: https://insideevs.com/news/341527/weberauto-examines-the-che...

Here’s an F150 Lightning battery apparently leaking coolant: https://www.lightningowners.com/threads/rear-motor-area-leak...

Please, do a bit more research before spreading damaging falsehoods about EVs.
I sense that no matter what the situation would be, people will always find a way to blame "the North" for everything and anything in the world, and absolve "the South" from everything and anything that they do. It's religion at this point.
My wife uses a Radio Shack alarm clock that looks nearly identical to the one in this post. It broke recently and I fixed it by removing about 3 inches of the power cord where it attaches to the transformer.
It can be both.

University credentials probably have more to do with proof one has grit, or social signaling. Unless it's for a specialized role that needs a certain degree.

In my experience hyperfocus is a double-edged sword. It's a superpower if it just so happens to be directed at the task/problem that I know I should be focusing on, but it often sends me in directions that aren't in line with my conscious high-level goals.

It can be exhausting if I really need to (and want to) work on something, but my mind is constantly switching its focus onto something else. It's like being interrupted by a coworker every few minutes, except it's your own mind doing it and you can't make it stop.
I'm developing an implementation of what I call Hydra – Multi-Head Prediction Embeddings [1], which I believe represents the next evolution in transformer architectures.

[1] https://www.researchgate.net/publication/381009719_Hydra_Enh...
Except even intrinsics aren't even that much of a guarantee - clang converts them to its internal operations and applies the same optimization passes over them as it does on its own autovectorized code; and there are no intrinsics for x86's inline memory operands, so issues can arise around those (or the inverse - I've seen clang do a memory load of the same constant twice (the second one being behind some branches), despite there being only one such load).

And there also are no intrinsics for most scalar operations, e.g. if you wanted to force "x>>48 == 0x1234" to be actually done via the shift and not "x & 0xffff000000000000 == 0x1234000000000000" (or vice versa).

And of course assembly means writing platform-specific code (potentially undesirable even if you want to only do the optimization for a single architecture, as it means having to learn to write assembly of said architecture).

There is some potential middle-ground of doing black-boxing, but as-is in C/C++ the way to do this is with a no-op asm block, but that can make register allocation worse, and still requires some platform-specific logic for deriving the register kind from value type.
Yeah the party spent weeks arguing with him to put the country before his desire to be a two term president. Something Trump is far too egotistical to do. But this is entirely beside the point, because the Democrat politicians are held to a far higher standard than the Republicans politicians are, especially Trump.
Thanks ! Fantastic ! Please share it here when ready !
This is a joke, right?

Wonder if there would be transfer to/from their space industry as well?

I'd kind of expect there would be.
I know it's not the same thing but I am quite happy with opensuse tumbleweed and snapper snapshots. It won't save you from something that also breaks grub but for most everything else it'll be fine. I've only needed to revert to an earlier snapshot once (in 4+ years). I said I needed to but I didn't because I forgot I had the ability and fixed the issue in another way. (It was just having to download and install a wifi rpm without actually having wifi. Not a big deal.)
Did you actually follow up and read the studies she cited in detail, though? Much of what she claims is misrepresentation, such as the insinuation that the Cochrane review found no evidence of SFA consumption being associated with risk.
I'm genuinely curious why you think utilization of the more abundant resource is a bad idea.

Personally I've always wondered why the taskbar and toolbars didn't switch to the side once resolutions got to and especially beyond 1080p
The varnish can wear down, but yes likely a cap
I haven't seen much self correction out of major institutions, but what I am really looking for is honesty.

I want them to share their uncertainty, nuance, and reasoning. Anything less I view as well intended lies.

Institutions as a concept are critical. Some institutions are net negative. Blindly following and support all institutions because some or even most are useful is a fallacy of its own.

I think the nutritional institution credibility is bankrupt at the moment. given the importance, I am willing to take the risk and put in the work to find my own way in the Forrest.

Furthermore, most institutions can only provide heuristic advice, which even when true, is t always true, or true for everyone. It should never be treated as dogma
and according to that wiki page, the US didn't join the Berne Convention until 1988!

The United States acceded to the convention on 16 November 1988, and the convention entered into force for the United States on 1 March 1989
my 0.2 cents :

as a kid I had a lot of sovereignty during halloween. I got to pick the costume, get done-up, and then perform. I got to walk around my neighborhood nearly unattended, which was a rarity. I got to hang out with friends, and then I got to eat the candy that I solicited for.

Christmas , well, kids have little money. They don't generally cook the dinner, they don't get a tree, even if they're involved. The adults do everything. The presents are great, and as a kid I loved them -- but the job for me was mostly just to go to bed early on Christmas Eve.

New Years / Fourth of July / Thanksgiving / Easter -- same thing. The kids are spectators that get to enjoy the fireworks and messing about with that stuff after dinner -- but it's largely hands off.

Halloween felt like my holiday growing up because it was the single example where the decision making was essentially in my hands, and it wasn't just as an excuse for the adults to get together and drink like the rest of them.
Sway 1.10 Is Released
Yeah. Seems like the kind of thing that would be solely pushed by executives/decision-makers expecting to get their bonuses and move on before the problems show up.
Now it will become a question of keeping the things we are used to having, for instance adblock (chrome) and privacy (recall).
And sometimes highly problematic.

I'm surprised that the "query planner" doesn't have a way to eject an opaque object that is the "assembly language of the query" that you can run that it is not allowed to change.
Right, but that’s because you’re misreading the table. They are deriving moderate quality conclusions from moderate quality data, as I’ve explained.
My comment is literally asks "how do you measure that?" and then I put out two statistics that you would assume would be correlated with food safety (along with maybe IQ, which China also does better in)
Any ring species.

Ring species are an excellent way to show how speciation occurs. It’s not a cow giving birth to a chicken. It’s a series of biologically compatible sub-species where the start and end are no longer compatible.

You want the impossible so you never have to confront the fact that you’re wrong. It’s a wholly incurious attitude and really should be a hard line on a site that purports to be about intellectual curiosity.
Sure. The government isn't your mommy, and neither are corporations. People have to take responsibility and look out for their own health. Nobody else is going to do it for you.
It's extremely relevant, as the group of people who are most likely to hear about an alternative browser in the first place are going to be disproportionately favourable and interested in open source specifically.

So by not attracting folks who are interested in open source, the company now has an uphill struggle to market to people who are already bombarded with ads and marketing. And when they do reach someone, if that someone asks a tech-knowledgable friend about it they are more likely to get a response of apathy or negativity towards it because of the closed-source nature.

This is not to say it's impossible to overcome this hurdle, but it makes their job more difficult. And trying to compete with well-established, free products is already pretty hard to do in the first place.
