That’s honestly one of the hardest things in engineering — identifying not just a customer to drive requirements, but a knowledgeable customer who can drive good requirements that work for a broader user base and can drive further expansion. Anthropic seems ideal for that, plus they act as a service/API provider on AWS.

Seriously, though, reducing work hours globally might also help with those low birthrates with which Elon Musk, JD Vance, and other rich white dudes and their bootlickers are obsessed.

People don't have time or energy to fuck, let alone raise kids, if they're working 40+ hours/week while also commuting and possibly doing a side hustle since their main job doesn't pay enough.
I’ve been impressed with the AI assisted tooling for the various monitoring systems in Azure at least. Of course this is mainly because those tools are so ridiculously hard to use that I basically can’t for a lot of things. The AI does it impressively well though.

I’d assume there is a big benefit to having AI assisted resource generation for cloud vendors. Our developers often have to mess around with things that we really, really, shouldn’t in Azure because operations lacks the resources and knowledge. Technically we’ve outsourced it, but most requests take 3 months and get done wrong… if an AI could generate our network settings from a global policy that would be excellent. Hell if it could handle all our resource generation they would be so much useless time wasted because our organisation views “IT” as HRs uncharming cost center cousin.
You shouldn't use something experimental like NixOS and Nix at work, that's fine at home or as a hobby.

The Accounter: Scaling Operational Throughput on Uber's Stateful Platform
guns could 100% be removed from our society if we decided to do it. as you said though, sandy hook sealed that forever, right? once we decided as society to accept mass slaughter of children there is nothing else left to move the needle.

but if we wanted to do it logistically we are capable of much bigger things than removing guns from society. give everyone X amount of time to return them and then make being caught with a gun punishable by minimum of 45 years to life. once the deadline expires make a few highly publicized arrest and that’s that…

I think rather than at odds with without.boats is saying, this is very much aligned with what they are suggesting. While not literally `use A::impl std::hash::Hash for i32` is for all intents and purposes naming the impl.

Similarly, `HashMap<i32 + A::impl Hash, V>` is what they are talking about when they refer to parameterizing code on the impl chosen.
My kids (my son espcially) understood from a young age that their toys can disappear at any time, should my wife and my very minimal suggestions be ignored. It never needed to happen, but they fully understood that I keep my promises and that their choices could have that effect. No violence, no intimidation, just a negative outcome they will feel and dislike.

Once a child understands that their favorite toy can simply disappear forever, they have learned how to form their own incentive structure, with our gentle help, of course. Along the way, though, we made sure they understood that we love them and work hard to make them happy, but that we also have a far greater depth of understanding about how things need to done. That means, for example, that one always knocks on the bathroom door :-)

This world is a tricky place. I suggest that the only way to best orient one's moral compass -- and entire life, thereby -- is through compassion. All relationships, including parent-child, spouse-spouse, and employer-employee always benefit from being as compassionate as possible. Even when dealing with a violent sociopath, having compassion ensures that one is not acting out of bigotry, self-superiority, pleasure of oppression, vindictiveness, or any other negative motivation; compassion helps us take the whole into consideration, and not just our own selfish benefit.

There is no more important place for this perspective than in parenting, where our children's lives are literally at our mercy. Learning how to develop wisdom via compassion is where the art comes in, but all art begins and ends with hard graft, with mistakes and learning and getting better through brutally honest self-reflection.
The second scheme works pretty well if you can turn the controller 45º. I never had an NES but I am pretty sure some of the isometric games I played on the c64 and Amiga had this as an option.

I will be looking to move back to linux myself as I have the i7 6700k and I don't really want to drop hundreds of dollars right now to be pushed into a bad OS I don't really want. I guess my cpu is considered "old" in computer age but it is still way more powerful then I need on a daily basis. So I will just leave MS, this will be the push I finally need. I already switched over on my kids pc when my last hard drive died. I just haven't had the push to do it on mine. But this will be the perfect push. And I will preach the shit out of switching to anyone that will listen to me.

It appears to be much faster on more specific questions (like the ones that are suggested after you ask it "what is TiDB"). I got a response in about 40s on the question "How does TiDB's cloud-native design enhance its scalability and reliability compared to traditional MySQL databases?"

Also, what's wrong with a nice UI? It appears to mostly be components from https://ui.shadcn.com/. Is there something wrong with good frontend craft, especially for a demo where you're trying to sell something?

It seems like something that is being offered as a self-contained tool that's easy for end users to play with, which isn't going to be the minimal version. I'm sure you could build something that suits your needs exactly, but it would be hard for someone else to predict your exact needs, and there's a decent chance everyone needs or wants a slightly different set of features, and that those things may not make for the most ideal demo.

I am personally far from the typical profile of an AI booster, but I can't help but say something about what I feel is a middlebrow dismissal.

Except for certain native mobile features needing to have Lua hooks developed for it manually, and some issues getting the resolution changes working properly on iOS (figured that out eventually though, using the "push" library helped), it's been a pretty smooth experience so far.

It appears to be a scam because it sort of is.

AI needs to be propped up because the bug tech cloud providers they depend on need AI to be a thing to justify their valuations. Tech is going through a bit of a slump where all things being hyped a few years ago sort of died down (crypto? VR? Voice assistants? Metaverse?). Nobody gets very hyped about any of those nowadays. I am probably forgetting a couple of hyped things that fizzled out over the years.

Case in point, as much as I despise Apple, they are not all-in the AI bandwagon because it does nothing for them.
Implicits are motivated, atleast in part, by a desire to improve upon this baseline. In the world of ML modules this is the current state. Typeclasses (as modules) have to be passed everywhere they're used explicitly and it's exhausting. I think with implicits you can keep that as a baseline but provide an implicit mechanism atop it to remove a lot of the obvious boilerplate for a win-win

They certainly need the money. The Pro service has been running in limited mode all week due to being over capacity. It defaults to “concise” mode during high capacity but Pro users can select to put it back into “Full Response.” But I can tell the quality drops even when you do that, and it fails and brings up error messages more commonly. They don’t have enough compute to go around.

The point is not to show only a single example it is to show how well the recovered internal state reflects the actual state in general —— analyze the performance (this is particularly tricky due to the discrete nature of board positions). That’s ignoring all the other more serious issues I raised.

That's interesting. At every gym I've been to, you either bring your own lock or they have locks where you can set a temporary code.
I was just doing research and landed on this exact page last night! I was wondering if anyone knows how someone could mic a room and record audio from only a specific area. For my use case I want to record a couch so I can watch TV with my friends online and remove their speech + show noise from the audio. Setting up some array of mics and using them for beam steering would probably work but there's not a lot of examples I could find on GitHub with code that works in real time.

I wonder how well this would work with laser microphones on a pane of glass. Can you infer keystrokes with near infrared laser? That is, can you identify the heatmap of keystroke events to infer which keyboard they're using, then replay the tape to identify the strings of characters being typed? Can you localize the turning of pages with UV?

There is clear processing in terms of interpreting the raw sensor data as you're describing. Then there are blurrier processes still, like "denoising" and "upscaling", which straddle the line between bias-correction and alteration. Then there's modification of actual color and luminance as the parent was describing. Now we're seeing full alterations applied automatically with neural nets, literally altering shapes and shadows and natural lighting phenomena.

I think it's useful to distinguish all of these even if they are desired. I really love my iPhone camera, but there's something deeply unsettling about how it alters the photos. It's fundamentally producing a different image you can get with either film or through your eyes. Naturally this is true for all digital sensors but we once could point out specifically how and why the resulting image differs from what our eyes see. It's no longer easy to even enumerate the possible alterations that go on via software, let alone control many of them, and I think there will be backlash at some point (or stated differently, a market for cameras that allow controlling this).

I've got to imagine it's frustrating for people who rely on their phone cameras for daily work to find out that upgrading a phone necessarily means relearning its foibles and adjusting how you shoot to accommodate it. Granted, I mostly take smartphone photos in situations where i'd rather not be neurotic about the result (candids, memories, reminders, etc) but surely there are professionals out there who can speak to this.

Moving trucks are in a sweet spot of impractical to own, incredibly cheap per hour, and only a few hours needed at a time.

Passenger vehicles with enough back-seat room for adults, a third passenger row, more cargo room, or 4WD capability are expensive and inconvenient enough to rent + cheap and practical enough to daily-drive that the use case would really have to be pretty rare.

If your threat model includes nation states, you are outgunned.

A nation state can probably buy the building across the street if that's the value of hacking your system.

Of course there are almost certainly cheaper options,but that's the level of time and budget you are up against...teams of motivated and well resourced experienced professionals working against you full time.
I've always wanted this for videoconferencing room. A microphone array around the screen should be able to dynamically focus on the active talkers and cancel out background noise and echos to get much better sound quality that the muddy crap we usually get.

If there were a speaker array around the screens too, you might be able to localize the audio for each person so that it seems like the sound is coming from where their head is on the screen.
it stands to reason that coffee cup should not need “the contents of this cup are very hot” but you know… :)
"As part of the calibration, the speed of sound is also a parameter which is optimized to obtain the best model of the system, which allows this whole procedure to act as a ridiculously overengineered thermometer."

Reminds me of the electronics adage: "all sensors are temperature sensors, some measure other things as well."
From the article "The simplest method of beamforming is delay-and-sum (DAS)". Measure distance from a point (couch) to each microphone, delay the signal in time domain by the time the sound takes to travel from point (couch) to microphone, and add up the signals. Pretty trivial. Basically you want the microphones receive the couch signal at the same time, even though they are different distances away.

Make sure there is enough variation in microphone distances for this method to be effective.

ChatGPT Has No Place in the Classroom
Huh it's funny, in fencing that also works to a certain degree.

You can score points against e.g. national team members who've been 5-0'ing the rest of the pool by doing weird cheap tricks. You won't win though, because after one or two points they will adjust and then wreck you.

And on the flip side, if you're decently rated (B ~ A ish) and are used to just standard fencing, if you run into someone who's U ~ E and does something weird like literally not move their feet, it can take you a couple touches to readjust to someone who doesn't behave normally.

Unlike chess though, in fencing the unconventional stuff only works for a couple points. You can't stretch that into a victory, because after each point everything resets.

Maybe that's why pentathlon (single touch victory) fencing is so weird.

Honestly, that sounds like amazing work. I wish I could afford to get out of enterprise software engineering and just do academic software development like that.
Some of the other skills mentioned are on the softer side but still good but touch typing is a specific, practicable hard skill that does help. You can be a decent programmer without knowing how to touch type, and so much of programming is reading, not writing, but when you are going from thought to code, being able to do so at 120 wpm vs 20 wpm makes a difference.
A lot of emphasis is put on programming "the code". What I find can simplify a lot of thought processes is to think of the overall action from the outside of the code. Often a system is transitioning from one persisted, consistent state to another persisted consistent state. Reasoning should begin from what needs to be applied to the persisted state at the lower level (e.g. SQL statements). The 'consistency' can be thought of in terms of invariants which must be upheld. Once you have those in mind, you only have to work out the 'plumbing' details of how the code is structured to get the job done.

Besides that learn the details about your infrastructure (what it can and can't do, datastores, networking) and your frameworks/libraries. Don't be afraid to go outside the frequently painted lines to do what's possible, not only what's been done before.

In terms of programming, it's good to learn other languages and formulations that let you think at a higher level. e.g. using map or reduce level processing or single assignment of variable values, immutable collections once constructed, etc simplifies code construction while avoiding common pitfalls like off-by-one errors, shared mutable references, or distributing a single piece of logic in different places. Pay a lot of attention to how to name things, lower level constructs should simply be what they do, higher level things go toward why they're being done. Separation of mechanism (lower implementation) and policy (higher level uses) fits naturally into structuring which is easy to work with and highly adaptable to new requirements.

Lastly don't refactor dogmatically. Choose what the factors are before redrawing the system/process along those seams. Deal with each factor once and avoid having to write, reason about, test factors in combination whenever possible.

I wouldn't consider any of these things as 'hard' (unless you meant technical), it only seems so because they are considered later (after being painted into a corner) rather than sooner.

Amazon probably gets Anthropic models they can resell “for free”. The 850M revenue is Anthropic’s, but there is incremental additional revenue to AWS’s hosted model services. AWS was already doing lots of things with Anthropic models, and this may alter the terms more in amazons favor.

Are they actually making money? I don’t know, investments aren’t usually profitable on day one. Is this an opportunity for more AWS revenue in the future? Probably.
