> We know this is better than what you released previously, otherwise, why would you be releasing it

Because it's at a lower pricepoint and in a different form factor than the thing it's being compared to. How is this even a question?
What projection?

They found a bunch of manufacturers giving away customer information for lobbying purposes. Customers didn’t enter it for that, they did it for warrantees. In some cases as shown, the warranty cards explicitly stated they wouldn’t give it to anyone else.

I feel like if this was anything else but guns people here would be outraged about the privacy invasion/data sharing aspect.

But instead people appear to be mad about anything else they can find.

Finally. I've been wondering how long before more companies get involved in the "tiny-sleeping-pod" business. Everything seems to be pointing in that direction.
Yeah there's stuff that will get you on lists especially since 9/11. But some of them have been restricted since before that, though de facto unenforceable. Today there is the ability to ingest huge volumes of data. I just don't want to deal with the pain in the ass even if I'm found innocent.
I would guess that abiogenesis is often framed around randomness as a strategy to argue for its implausibility. Of course, a completely random system is unlikely to produce enough coherence to convince anyone that it could be possible.

But in reality, the universe is full of patterns. The laws of physics are not random. Water behaves in very specific ways. Our planet revolves around the Sun in 365 day intervals. The planet rotates every 24 hours. Even out of these two interlocking patterns, you can see how energy delivery to the surface of the planet could result in mechanical and chemical cycles that may result in non-random mineral formation, concentration gradients, and thermal dynamics.

Scientists argue that abiogenesis is a result of inherently chaotic but non-random processes, not a hypothetical probabilistic scenario like monkeys with typewriters.
Yes, I agree, “nothing” won’t always be true. But I felt like the idea came across and that having to overly explain and nitpick my own clarification was unnecessary.
This is what it was like buying any computer before 2010. Top of the line would be mid shit a year later
You don't need a pi to run pihole. It can run in docker as well. And really it's just dnsmasq with some automation and nice web interface.
Have you ever considered the possibility of supernaturally guided evolution. Always seemed like an interesting possibility to me. So God creates an incredibly beautiful concept that life comes from. Seems like one of the most probable solutions to how astonishingly unlikely abiogenesis would be.
Do you think banks should publish your account balance? I think there would be nothing wrong with it.
With apple giving away garageband for so long, I was always surprised that they didn't have a decent graphics editor option, so this makes a lot of sense to me.

Hopefully it means that the pixelmator team will get a larger budget as well. It's by far my favorite graphics editor compared to affinity, Photoshop, Krita, etc.

Only thing that I really wish it had was a solid puppet warp system for deformation like what you see in photopea or Photoshop.
iPad Mini Review: The Third Place
how does defining the type or not of diabetes make this any less/more lazy on the journalist? if you have either type, you are considered diabetic, one that has diabetes.
Unfortunately there are specific carveouts under US law to allow political spam. The politicians made the rules and exempted themselves from it, go figure.

On Android/Pixels, their spam blocking is actually really good and catches 90% of political spam (a few do get through). I tried to use an iPhone for a while but the spam was so bad I had to switch back to Pixel just for the (much better) political spam blocking.

I made the mistake of donating a few thousand dollars last election cycle, and now I get dozens/hundreds of spam messages from different candidates. One day I'll change my phone number and never let it get into the voter or donor rolls again... the entire system is purposely set up to screw the little guy over so that the politicians can get their donations/bribes.
You can use a well made, smoothly polished metal one with round edges. Your eggs are not sticking to your non-stick pan, right? So you will never use any of the kind of force that will gouge the surface.
Ai2 | Senior Software Engineer | Seattle, WA | ONSITE / HYBRID |

Ai2 (https://allenai.org) is a Seattle based non-profit AI research institute founded in 2014 by the late Paul Allen. We pursue foundational AI research and innovation to deliver real-world impact through large-scale open models, data, robotics, conservation, and beyond.

The job posting links contained within the article all appear to be broken but, without having read them, my first question is whether they relate to projects that have committed to using LLMs in production, or whether it's just something that they might consider.

I strongly suspect that GenAI-type buzzwords are being used to 'tech-wash' corporate job listings in order to make them seem more exciting, in much the same way as blockchain jargon came to be used 5-6 years ago
Are there reasons to oppose a government database of guns that don't also apply to a private sector database of guns?

For example, if a future government decided to round up all the guns and needed a database to find them, the fact the database is in a different building ain't going to stop them.
Left a dentist over this "you need root planing!" whaaaaatt?? I brush my teeth 2 times a day with an electric tooth brush and they are squeaky clean. I said to schedule me for it "we can get you in today!" me: "i gotta see a man about a dog" . I go to a new dentist and say nothing, he takes me in, does the xray, etc for new patient. Says my teeth and gums look great, no cavities. Guess who I cancelled on the next day and guess who I saw in 6 months for my next dental appointment.
SEEKING WORK - Contract, Remote, US based, backend engineer

I am a backend expert, having built and maintained highly available systems for several companies over the last 9 years, in addition to over 20 total years of software development experience. I learn new things extremely quickly.

You will like working with me because I:

* hold your goals as my priorities
* communicate verbosely yet synthesize well
* my rates are reasonable in exchange for the value I deliver
* I guarantee I will get the job done

Concrete examples:

* built the streaming data architecture for realtime game player tracking information (all games, 50ms SLA) and game stats for one of the top 3 US sports leagues (can’t name drop!) using Redpanda/Kafka on Azure+Terraform, and implemented its developer portal using Gravitee to provide first class streaming API support and monetization. Also built, deployed and maintained their ask-a-question-get-a-true-answer AI bot to expose 20+ years of stats to natural language fan questions!

* Implemented a vector DB for one of the leading AI image hallucination platforms (millions of users) to provide an image similarity service.

* replatformed dozens of jobs to AWS Lambda for a startup hedge fund, vastly improving QoS and maintenance cost. Line 1 to platform-in-prod time 3 months.

* built a ~50 node, AWS, Dockerized, Terraform-deployed distributed system to provide realtime, transformed trade data from crypto exchanges to a Kafka pipeline and data lake (fodder for an analytics platform). Met 5000msec SLA across arbitrarily many exchanges and ticker symbols. Blue-green deployment for complete CICD safety. Cloudwatch metrics proved SLA was met and provided general system oversight.

* built a framework to collapse dozens of singleton ETL programs into one config-driven, simple C# application performing the same functionality at ~80% reduction in maintenance cost year over year.

MacOS provides Metal as its native Graphics API.

Proton and Alyssa's solution use Vulkan on Linux as their native graphics API.

Regardless, you have to provide a translation layer so that Windows games written to call DirectX APis use the native graphics layer of the platform you are running on.

Unless you happen to be emulating a Windows game written to use Vulkan instead of DirectX, Vulkan really doesn't matter at all on the Mac.

If you do want to emulate one of the rare Vulkan based Windows games on a Mac, the MoltenVK translation layer handles that.
Actually, the study doesn't say that it wont happen, but that there's a 6.4 * 10^-7228454 chance of it happening before the Universe ends.

That's an infinitely larger chance than 0!
Corporations (which are legal persons) also cannot autonomously do any of those things.

They only act through the stewardship of natural persons who serve in their interest.

You could do the same for a forest by electing some trustees or whatever.
"Nice" offices are a variable, but have a rate of false positives that are too high for me. That applies both to the US and Brazil (in fact, the dentist offices in Brazil seem to place even more effort in looking nice).

My current dentist office (in the US) did show me exactly where in the x-rays they were seeing a cavity(it was a pretty large one, but hidden). It was pretty clear. I could feel the difference when the drill got to it.

How do I know they weren't trying to sell me unecessary procedures? Because he told me that the cavity was quite large, and that I _might_ need a root canal, but he was going to do his best to avoid that. Procedure done, he told me to watch it for the next two weeks, and gave me a list of symptoms to watch for. Should I experience them, it would be a pretty good indication that it reached the nerve, and a root canal would be advised. Felt nothing. Subsequent visits and they tell me it is all fine. I also had to to deep cleaning once, on the account of having deep gum pockets. That was also necessary and I was starting to have problems with breath. Those two things happened because I spent 4 years without going to the dentist, so no checkups until things got bad.

Oh, and I also had a spot that was demineralizing and could become a cavity. They decided to watch until my next appointment (and I redoubled my cleaning efforts since then). Next visit, they told me that it was fine.

I have moved since then and I have to drive 1h for appointments, each way. Doesn't matter, it's 2h versus a potentially lifetime of problems (and a hole in my pocket).

You have done the right thing when asking for a second opinion.
Very cool tech demo!
Curious to see if we continue to generate environments in this level or move more to generating the physics
And yet I see more Game available for steamdeck than for apple Silicon...
Maybe because porting as opposed to emulating requires action on developer side.

And this is especially true for existing game that "aren't worth porting" but are still fun to play. (Is there a Vulkan to Metal / OpenGL to Metal in Gaming toolkit? is it the NexStep?)

There is actually a sweet spot here for Valve that could benefit everyone:

- Valve as a necessary third party

- Gamers to access a wider catalog

- Apple so they don't have to bother developing a porting process for old games

I wish every acquisition improved the end product as much as Workflow's did. All Apple's OSes got better for embracing it. I can write and have written AppleScript things, but Shortcuts is a vastly more convenient UX for the things it's good at.
For smartphone, GrapheneOS.

For tablet, I was using a PocketBook ereader (which works fine airgapped, and is friendly towards DRM-free ebooks, and doesn't need jailbreaking).

For most purposes, Debian Stable on my laptop, and on my GPU server.

There is an old saying about the future being here but unevenly distributed. The pods look nice and would be even nicer with some kind of daily meal kit for a few extra dollars.
Even if there’s a risk of a “Dark sky” outcome, I’m still happy, because I figured that Pixelmator was at long term risk of getting squeezed in the photo-editing market. It’s just tough for indie devs playing with the big boys.
Well that certainly explains things lol
The reason gun owners do not like government registries is because they may be used for targeting those owners for compulsory buy-back or confiscation programs. While the deceit of the manufacturers is indeed abhorrent, owners are not afraid of manufacturers showing up at their door.

It is two different things, and both are bad (but one is way worse).
For the sake of brevity, I'll skip an explanation for how I was interpreting that phrase. Instead, let me put it this way. The fact that "self" changes based on context is a very basic and obvious thing, and I'm pretty sure nobody suggested that "self" would always be the same thing.

In particular, the first post in this comment chain was talking about Kernel being the same from anywhere (unless overridden).

I would personally call any method that Kernel responds to a "global" method. Likewise for anything on BasicObject. I'm not worried about the receiver, I'm worried about access to the method.

Dark Sky would've added more value if they'd just renamed it Weather and made it the built-in app, and yet...

I do hope they'll offer Pixelmator as an included app on Macs and Pixelmator Pro alongside Logic, Finalcut, and other "Pro" software. The lack of a built-in image editor can be annoying.

Photos works for some stuff, Preview includes basic adjustments too, but sometimes you just want something like a hue/saturation adjustment instead of color temperature and pink/green tint, or multiple layers so you can experiment with different edits non-destructively.
Type 1 is an autoimmune disease. Type 2 is a gradual loss of the ability to produce insulin. The final destination might be the same but the causes and journeys are very different.

Toward a Phenomenology of the Phone
The tricky part is a lot of wealthy people or companies make their wealth by extracting it from others. Typically those "others" are held captive in some way, so they have no choice but to pay.

Obvious example, tobacco, alcohol, motor vehicle repair. Non-obvious examples, hotels, vets, dentists, physical therapy. It's a HUGE problem in the US. Lots and lots of companies are huge, owning big parts of their domain, and they're extremely scammy. It's to a point where even big-name brands employ scammy techniques.

> node-based architecture may present a nontrivial learning curve for people accustomed to the pre-comping workflow of AE.

I'd also emphasize that node-based compositing is more suited to VFX and layer-based compositing to motion graphics.
I had the exact same experience. I live in a small mountain town with 500 people. I saw the local dentist in town for 10 years and he was great. Regular checkups, rays, cleanings etc. with one patch when I chipped a tooth. The office definitely seemed old school, nothing fancy. My dental health was fine. He retired and was unable to sell his practice so it closed. I googled around and found a dentist in a much larger town 2 hours away. Super nice office, all the latest technology. After the first appointment he said that I had something like 5 old fillings that needed to be repaired and a bunch of other stuff. I have good dental insurance but he was going to charge them something like 5k. It just felt scummy. I didn't go back and now go to another "country" dentist in the next town over and it's back to normal.
You are missing time. Time will make the links break, and time will make the component parts harder to find, etc. Also, managing this catalog over time isn't glamorous enough for a headline or even a pretty picture. Economies change over time, and doesn't that go without saying?
