my 2 cents

we need a good free open source rad tools

the rad market is dominated by very expensive commercial products, clarion, windev (pcsoft), outsystems , embarcadero, progress and few more

pascal, give the impression of a potentially nice (could be) rad tool, that make easy things trivial and hard things possible, but i think in practice it is not really

we need a nice foss rad devolpment environment, built around nicer and more modern languages , pascal is not a nice language , lazarus and other pascal ide are attractive though
Yeah, I demand more info about the mop from the OP. What model do you have and are you completely satisfied? I was under the impressionthat most of wet mop models just smear dirt everywhere instead of really cleaning a dirty floor.
Really? Comparing the slowest mobile M4 to the fastest desktop CPUs is eye opening? This thread is about the fastest M4
High-level is good enough for me for the beginning, thanks!
The actual releasing of the stuff is not what I was referring when I specifically stated "the standard Apple line".

We know this is better than what you released previously, otherwise, why would you be releasing it. It's just over the top marketing/PR fluff that is over the top over used to the point it is meaningless approaching insulting

But to your points. I think the problem with your analysis is that it forgets that the real driver of the junk is the advertising environment. The SEO links were profitable because the advertisers were willing to pay a few cents for space on those pages. Yes, the incentives are changing for the teenagers who are churning out text and adding seo links to their stable of cheap websites, but the advertisers are going to find a way to manipulate consumers that's compatible with the new order. I don't know what that will be, but whatever it is will depend on information pollution just as much as the current one.

Could this be used to build an editor for Haskell like the one for Hazel?
Yes, 100%! We do not have a real "public square" on the internet. The whole thing is a private mall, owned and operated by a dozen or so large public companies. If I want to host something large-scale which is legal but unpalatable to those dozen companies, there is no real way to do that today.

Is a one-year extension meaningful, though? People have known this date was coming for years already. If they haven't already switched (either upgraded their existing installation or purchased a new machine with Win11 installed), will one more year actually matter to more than a tiny number of people?

I doubt. My guess is that people haven't upgraded because they don't want to be using Win11. Those people can pay for one more year, but that's only one more year.

I have no idea what the downvotes mean. Are people claiming "can illegal immigrants vote?" is somehow the same question as "are illegal immigrants voting frequently enough to sway the outcome of the election?" Those seem like manifestly different questions, what's so controversial?

It'd make sense if paying taxes gave you the right to vote.

I thought that was a gift to Putin? Shut down the nuclear to insure they need a steady supply of Russian natural gas. Oligarch solidarity.
Sadly, censorship is becoming a norm these days. Politicians such as Jugnauth are increasingly aligning themselves with well-heeled socialist-leaning benefactors and then covering it all up by basically censoring everything that makes them look bad. Same thing starting to happen here in the US. For example there is ample evidence to show that some newly arrived Haitian migrants in Ohio had been engaging in the act of hunting neighborhood animals. Mind you this is all corroborated by video evidence and witness statements. But what did they do? They said it was a complete lie and then pressured media outlets and "the fact-checkers" to suppress the story. And that is just the very tip of the iceburg. The issue has become so ubiquitous that more than 70% of Americans polled say they have absolutely NO trust in the media. Freedom to speak the truth should be a fundamental right, simple as that.....
So you're saying, embeddings are fine, as long as we refrain from making full use of their capabilities? We've hit on a mathematical construct that seems to be able to capture understanding, and you're saying that the biggest models are too big, we need to scale down, only use embeddings for surface-level basic similarities?

I too think embeddings are vastly underutilized, and chat interface is not the be-all, end-all (not to mention, "chat with your program/PDF/documentation" just sounds plain stupid). However, whether current AI tools are replacing or amplifying your intelligence, is entirely down to how you use them.

As for search, yes, that was a huge breakthrough and powerful amplifier. 2+ decades ago. At this point it's computer use 101 - which makes it sad when dealing with programs or websites that are opaque to search, and "ubiquitous local search" is still not here. Embeddings can and hopefully will give us better fuzzy/semantic searching, but if you push this far enough, you'll have to stop and ask - if the search tool is now capable to understand some aspects of my data, why not surface this understanding as a different view into data, instead of just invoking it in the background when user makes a search query?
modern marketing and social trends are the schismatic faith fights without the acknowledgment of the religious basis they used to have. We're not Monophysites and Nestorians now; we're Swifties or Tesla drivers.
Yeah, that’s kinda for the best. Have you ever worked someplace where layoffs had been pre-announced? Humans don’t act well in an environment like that.
Yep. Disabling password storage is one of the first things I do when setting up a browser on a new computer.
The authors factorize every weight matrix with an attention mechanism:

weight = attention(token_query, weight_keys, weight_values).

In other words, they query weight_keys to fetch the weight_values, and mix them to compute each weight on the spot.

Increasing model size becomes a matter of adding more weight_keys and weight_values, and incrementally training them.

Simple, clever, and it seems to work well. Beautiful.

MacBooks are some of the heaviest laptps on the market.

The Air is the "light" one at 2.7 lbs 13" and 3.3 lbs for the 15"

For reference, there are several 13" laptops on the market that are around 2 - 2.5 lbs and 15"+ that are less than 3 lbs
Apple has one of the, if not the biggest gaming platforms in existence (the iphone and ipad), but everyone seems to have a blind spot for that and disregards it. Sure, the Mac isn't a big gaming platform for them because their systems are mostly used professionally (assumption), but there too, the Mac represents only 1/10th of the sales they get from the iPhone, and that's only on the hardware.

Mac gaming is a nice-to-have; it's possible, there's tools, there's Steam for Mac there's toolkits to port PC games to Mac, there's a games category in the Mac app store, but it isn't a major point in their marketing / development.

But don't claim that Apple doesn't take gaming seriously, gaming for them it's a market worth tens of billions, they're embroiled in a huge lawsuit with Epic about it, etc. Finally, AAA games get ported to mobile as well and once again earn hundreds of millions in revenue (e.g. CoD mobile).

I think certification overestimates security, absolutely. Certification proves nothing.

You can use theorem provers to prove correctness, but you can't prove that the business logic is correct. There's a degree to which you just cannot prevent security vulnerabilities.

But switching to memory-safe languages will reduce vulnerabilities by 90%. That's not nothing.
DDoS site Dstat.cc seized and two suspects arrested in Germany
Interesting approach. Did you tell GPT to summarise the comments of each cluster after grouping them?
Hate that all you want, but you know it's true if you've been in the industry for more than a couple of years.

It's a mistake to cater to the lowest common denominator. We'll all be coding in Scratch in a decade if we keep down this path.

Flexible with remote work and open to relocation.
I've had similar thoughts a few times over the years. "Let me lock myself in an office for a week with a pile of books and YouTube and I'll learn more than any conference" - and I say that as someone who kept a full day at conferences and took notes.

What I realized is that the learning was supposed to come from talking to other people working on similar problems, as opposed to an earth shattering realization from the presentation itself. I remember one year when I compared notes with a few people on authorization approaches because we were getting ready to overhaul our authorization systems, and I found the random discussions very helpful.

That said, I still dream about getting to do a stay-conference, analogous to a stay-cation, but for learning.
Why is so hard for people to understand why apple did that?

They want the people who are still clinging to intel mac to convert finally. And as for m1 comparisons, people are not changing laptops every year and that is the cohort of m users that is the most likely to upgrade. It's smart to do what apple did.

Yeah probably, it remains to be seen if these models can actually help guide a live session towards the goal. At least it's been shown that these types of world models can help a model become better at achieving a goal, in lieu of a hard coded simulation environment or the real world, for when those options are not tractable.

My favorite example is: https://worldmodels.github.io/
