When I parked a rental car in downtown SLC last week I had to find a way to pay to park. There was a kiosk with a functional screen, but the touchscreen part of it was broken, so I couldn't interact with it. I plopped my stuff down and sat on a concrete bench in the cold and dark to try to figure things out on my phone.

The QR code sent me to a website to install an app. Google Play store said the app was designed for an older version of Android and couldn't be installed on my device. I eventually found a "pay online" link hidden down the page a bit, then spent several minutes filling in my credit card number and what not. Then when I got to the part where I was to select the expiration month and year, the drop-down menus simply didn't work. I had no way to continue in my default browser, Firefox.

It had been 7 or 8 minutes, the cold was starting to numb my fingers, and I was no closer to actually paying for my parking space. I debated just canceling my appointment and driving away rather than risk a parking ticket, but I decided to give it just one more try in the Vanadium browser. Lo and behold, the drop-down menus worked, and after over 10 minutes of messing with a broken kiosk, a broken app, and a broken website, I was able to proceed to the point where I punched in my parking space number. Which, of course, wasn't marked.

At that point I looked up and down the side of the street and noticed a post with numbers for two spots behind me. I noted which number was bigger to infer whether my space would be one higher than the higher or one lower than the lower and punched that in. After my appointment I came out to find the car parked behind me had a parking ticket, while my car didn't. So I guess I managed to punch the right sequence of buttons on my phone to avoid a parking fine.

However the fact remains that I couldn't legally park my car in Salt Lake City unless I was in possession of a functioning smartphone and was running a Chrome-based browser on it.

Not sure if this is more a story of Chrome being the only browser that's tested and/or compatible with critical services I need to use to function in a major U.S. city or if it's a story about municipalities like Salt Lake City making things as difficult as possible for people so as to collect more revenue from fines.

I don't recall seeing Nyquist described with those requirements before. I think it is evident that in the real world, there are many practical signals which do not exactly meet those requirements, but which still yield nearly-exact reproduction.

I wonder, what are some examples of signals that fail to reproduce after sampling in a way that is "nearly Nyquist"?
AMD Drops After Chief Accounting Officer Smith Resigns
Jetbrains will automatically warn you if your package.json is ever out of sync with the actual installed packages (a little dialog pops up). It's not clear to me how VScode handles this (and in fact, one of my colleagues often struggled with this). Closed issue with unclear resolution: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/66288

It's one of the many, many, many nice little touches that Jetbrains offers over VScode, and I heavily recommend people who have never tried it to give it a shot for a few weeks/months. It's a LOT better than vanilla VSCode, and slightly better than VSCode + a ton of third-party extensions.

--------

Beyond that, I also see npm script chaining. e.g. instead of `npm run dev` to start your server, `npm run pre-dev-scripts` which call a bunch of other updates, style token generations, npm install, whatever. Combine that with git hooks (like pre-commit linting & formatting) and it's often pretty automatic. For external services, you should be able to specify them in some IDE config file that can trigger task runners, monitors, etc. and share that in the repo with your teammates: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/tasks

That's a bit harder if you work across IDEs (like VScode and Jetbrains), but not always impossible. Our Docker auto-updates in VScode, for example, but doesn't do anything in Jetbrains :(
I agree. This editor may well have been a current-day culmination of a trend that started some time ago. I stopped my own print subscription to SciAm once the articles started to ostensibly push certain sociopolitical viewpoints in the guise of science journalism. This was well before the editor being discussed was editor enough so I never knew this person existed.

While this editor may have crossed some redlines, I am doubtful this change in represents a genuine philosophical shift at the magazine.
No. Nord Stream seem more and more having been an Ukrainian action. Maybe not official government, but obviously more in Ukrainian interest than in Russian.

I can't see any Ukrainian interest an cutting internet between two of their supporters. Whether the support has been sufficient can be debated, but both are supporters. Germany among the top in absolute terms, Finland among the top relative to their own size. Yes among, there are stronger supporters in both categories.
There is room in storage for many kind of products with different sets of tradeoffs. And don't underestimate the ability of a startup to move much faster than AWS.

My primary fear was the compliance issues re-coding the real s/w would drive this into the ground, where the compliance for a front fix might be lower. You could hash-map the collisions seen before and drive them to a "don't do that" and reduce the risk to new ones.

Thank you for neg votes kind strangers. Remember ATC is rife with historical kludges, including using whiteout on the giant green screens to make the phosphor get ignored by the light gun. This is an industry addicted to backwards compatibility to the point that you can buy dongle adapters for dot-matrix printers at every gate, such that they don't have to replace the printer but can back-end the faster network into it.

If it makes you feel any better, I agree with you and I have no idea what everyone else is smoking.
Ugh. I'm sorry, but could you please explain yourself? I also read Inherit the Wind in middle school, and my understanding is that it fictionalized the (true) story of the "Scopes/Monkey Trial", which was an ideological conflict between science and religion. It's been over 50 years, and maybe I'm so pure that I disregarded any racial context, but I don't remember any.

How does "White Supremacy" come into the story, or the denial of evolution as a whole?
More importantly, user content can read and write cookies from the subdomain to the parent domain.
It's a cute analogy, but like all analogies it breaks after inspection. One might try and salvage it by observing that military "best practice" in the field and Best Practice at HQ need not be, and commonly are not, the same, either for reasons of scope or expediency. Moreover, lower case "practice" tends to win more, more quickly. Eg guerillas tend to win battles quickly against hidebound formal armies.

For a startup, winning "battles, not wars," is what you need, because you have finite resources and have an exit in mind before you burn through them. For a large enterprise, "winning wars not battles" is important because you have big targets on your back (regulators, stock market, litigation).

One might paraphrase the whole shooting match with the ever-pithy statement that premature optimization is the root of all evil.
Have you filed your observations of the ships anchor at sea to the authorities? Because it does sound strange, if you indeed have a witness to this, that they dropped and then hoisted their anchors to damage infrastructure four times that day:

Jacob & Youngs, Inc. v. Kent, 230 N.Y. 239, 129 N.E. 889 (1921).

In Jacob & Youngs, the homeowner contracted for a house with Reading-brand pipes but received a house with pipes of equal quality from a different manufacturer. The homeowner argued that they had suffered a “damage” because the builder failed to deliver what was specified. However, the court ruled that the cost to completely replace the pipes (tearing down walls, rebuilding, etc.) was disproportionate to the actual harm suffered, as the non-conforming pipes were functionally identical. Instead of awarding the cost of replacement, the court awarded damages based on the difference in value, which was negligible.

Applying this principle to your hypothetical:
• If you contracted for ethically sourced wood but received non-ethically sourced wood, courts would first examine the actual damage caused by the substitution.
• If the wood is of the same quality and functionality, courts might determine that the damages are limited to the difference in value (if any) between the ethically sourced wood and the non-ethically sourced wood, rather than the cost of rebuilding the house.

While a lawsuit for false advertising could succeed, the remedy would likely not extend to the drastic measure of requiring a house rebuild unless the difference in the wood’s sourcing directly caused a significant, material harm (e.g., structural failure or a substantial decrease in value).

The case emphasizes that remedies for breach of contract or misrepresentation are not always as sweeping as they might seem; they are often tempered by considerations of fairness and proportionality.
If Google were forced to divest itself of Chrome and there were no takers then Chromium would take on an altogether different perspective. That Chromium exists shows there's already an existing infrastructure that would make transitioning to it relatively straightforward.

Incidentally, I don't use Chrome, only Chromium-based and Firefox-based browsers.
Ah, that’s an interesting feature. Would they make specific article or outlet recommendations or broad categories of suggestions?

A single attempt to separate google and chrome (with all its products) would make the eco-system pointless and swipe away google entirely from the global market.

why not to give Youtube instead tho? (even if the revenue/monetization of every single channel would be heavily impacted)

Android and chrome are necessary for google to live, so Youtube or something else would be better
Apologies, to be clear what I meant was that to my knowledge Google doesn't use GPUs for it's own stuff, but does sell both TPUs and GPUs to others on Cloud.

Also, to be clear, I have no internal info about this, I'm going based on external stuff I've seen.
Losing over $1.5B of donor (or more accurately, investor) capital does not reflect well when the Trump campaign didn’t even use all of $1B, ran for longer, and won the presidency. Major DNC donors know this and will be less likely to fund future campaigns that include the people who worked on this, especially Harris and Walz.

> I think any theory which assumes voters are actually paying attention or have coherent ideologies is wrong.

Then you’d be wrong. Many voters don’t have coherent ideas on say international policy, however many have specific ideologies regarding more local, important issues, such as food accessibility, welfare, immigration status, body autonomy, etc. Perhaps not across the board, but this belief that people are gormless masses to be controlled is probably a major reason your party has been losing steam.

Obama doesn’t have a successor. Trump has Jr and JD who can and probably will run next cycle (most likely Trump funding, Jr organizing, with JD running) while Barron may in the further future. Whether these are strong enough though, time will tell.
I grew up believing that science was the search for truth and fact, and that it should be constantly challenged to further that. What has happened I think, is that there has been a great polarization of science as government and groups have used and twisted it to fit a political agenda. Which essentially stops that search for truth. Challenging scientific conclusions should be encouraged not cancelled.

I think the other thread did a good job showing you that it's the other way around, people who have been in the industry do not tend to have the imagination people with fresh eyes (and maybe some tech chops) do.

An example I had in mind was when Affleck was speaking of being able to generate the show but with their preferred cast from a different production. He really has no clue that people will be generating themselves and their friends as the main characters of these stories. Like this one, there are many other examples where I thought he was lacking creativity.

Kudos to him for spending time thinking about it but I'm surprised how well received his thoughts have been for just stringing a few ideas together.
Mea cupla. Fixed.
Hello. I apologize that it came across this way. This was not the intention. Zerox was definitely used and I made sure to copy and include the MIT license exactly as it was inside the part of the code that uses Zerox.

I also mentioned that MIT license again in the root license file.

If there's any additional thing I can do, please let me know so I would make changes. Thanks.
True. SciAm has been broken for a long time. The same can be said for most magazines, but SciAm being broken probably just hurts more for our crowd.
I think you are giving the utilities far too much credit. They were bemoaning solar being even 5% of the grid, complaining that it would bring down everything. Seriously!

And if you didn't know that, and think that I'm too "us vs. them," then you should go look at the arguments made in regulatory proceedings and IRPs etc.

The utilities invoke preposterous technical arguments all the time. Yes, the grid should be reliable, but making it more decentralized and adding storage all over will make it far more reliable.

Industrial scale battery packs are quite often cheaper than new transmission lines. And we're going to need a lot more transmission or transmission alternatives in the future as more of our energy needs are electrified.

I don't dispute that some distribution might need to be upgraded to fully take advantage of the cost savings that distributed solar and storage present.

But you'll never find the utilities making the case for engineering a more reliable cheaper system, if that system is cheaper, because they will make less money. It would be financially irresponsible for them to make that case, and in fact they must try their hardest to increase the amount of money that is spent on fixed grid assets, that they can directly rate base.

This is not being overly "us vs. them" this is simple economics and incentives of regulated monopolies. Utilities are great at responding to the financial incentives put before them. Sometimes those financial incentives are making the grid reliable. But I don't know of a single regulated monopoly that has been financially incentivized to lower grid costs.

The point is not to do what is good for Google. The point is to do what is good for users and the market. Separating Chrome from Google's despotic plans such as AMP and blocking ad-blockers so that the browser is independent from their attempts to further control the web would be a good thing.

> the number of jobs where the only parts capable of bringing joy will be automated away

I've seen this claimed several times, but it goes against my personal experience using it in business and software development where AI tools remove a lot of boring rote work.

Can you give some examples of the parts of these or other jobs that bring joy which AI will replace?
Why would it require a director if a generative process can use the information it has on audience (even individual) preferences to produce the story and format that will best hook consumers?

My sentence was "and without solar that peak is midday in most places." Remove the solar and California has a huge midday peak. Watch it shift over the years into the evening as more residential solar was added to the California grid:

https://www.caiso.com/Documents/CaliforniaISOPeakLoadHistory...

(Note also in your visualisation that all times are Eastern and should be adjusted for different localities. And if you go to a summer week rather than a winter week, you'll find the true peak, which is much higher, and which has a pretty standard curve with a peak that overlaps sunlight hours.)
That doesn't explain anything, though. If they don't get feedback, shouldn't it make their businesses less effective?
Very nicely laid out words, enjoyed the read.
No, it's not about lifespan. They have a very complicated report that tries to quantify intensity of suffering relying on a variety of proxies
Then so what? It's whataboutism.

The practical answer is that all of FAANG will have to pick up the pieces once their supply chain is shattered. Samsung would quickly reach capacity with AMD and potentially Nvidia as priority customers, and Intel will be trying to court Nvidia and Apple as high-margin customers for some low-yield 18A contract. Depending on whether TSMC's Arizona foundry ever reaches operational capacity, they will be balancing orders from Nvidia and Apple in the same way they do today. Given the pitifully low investment, it's not really likely the Arizona facility will make a dent in the supply chain.

Fact is, Nvidia is well positioned to pick up the pieces even if 5nm> processes go away for the next decade. The only question is whether or not people will continue to have demand for CUDA, and the answer has been "yes" since long before crypto and AI were popular. If TSMC was bombed tomorrow, Nvidia would still have demand for their product and they would still have the capacity to sell it. Their competition with AMD would be somewhat normalized and Apple would be blown into the stratosphere upon realizing that they have to contract either Samsung or Intel to stay afloat. The implications for the American economy are a little upsetting but there's nothing particularly world-ending about that scenario. It would be a sad day to be a Geekbench enthusiast but life would go on.

probably not going to be a popular take on this forum, but to me it looks like anti trust and securities laws are enforced almost randomly. Is Google a monopoly using its control to limit competition - yes but so is pretty much all of FANG and many successful businesses for that matter.

Anti trust activities are not about any one act (such as routing browsers to your site), it's more about whether the fates choose your company to end up in the DOJs roulette wheel.
I've fixed the email to have the proper domain (storepass.com -> storepass.co). Thanks for notifying me.
I've not been talking about the reconstruction filter at all during any step of this discussion. Reading your comment more carefully, it seems you were trying to.

I'm saying that if you oversample, it's easier to get appropriate rejection from your pre-sampling filter and it's easier to make it appropriately flat as well.

E.g. sample at 384KHz; you need to reject stuff over 360KHz. You probably have negligible energy up there to begin with. A 3rd-order filter with -3dB at 30KHz might get the job done.
It's pretty easy to make this flat in phase and amplitude up to 20KHz, and things like capacitor nonlinearity are much less of a concern.

In turn, filtering down to 20KHz and rejecting from 22050 and up is easy in the digital domain. 512 taps gets me a filter flat to 0.15dB up to 20KHz and >63dB rejection over 22KHz.

My point was, this is a little better at 48KHz, because we can choose to e.g. pass 21KHz and have a wider guard band (14% vs 10%). With 384 taps, numbers are more like flat to 0.1dB and -67dB, benefitting both from the wider guard band and 48KHz being a factor of 384KHz.
Great product ! Congratulations on the launch !!
Those ships are going to be transiting somewhere unloaded. That is when you engage them.
> We have extended the model’s context length from 128k to 1M, which is approximately 1 million English words

Actually English language tokenizers map on average 3 words into 4 tokens. Hence 1M tokens is about 750K English words not a million as claimed.
Well, it's true that most my my colleagues can read English well enough to get the gist of docs and Stack Overflow, but when it comes to speaking, they don't know how to pronounce a lot of the words, to the point of being very difficult for the listener to understand, and struggle to put together a coherent sentence (particularly in the short timeframe needed to have a smooth conversation). They also find speaking English to be highly stressful and generally avoid it as much as they can.
But if neuron counts, as they show, have no reliable correlation (and in some cases an inverse correlation) with valenced experience, why would we use them to rule out intense experiences?
