True, but AI is definitely making a measurable impact in some businesses where gen AI is already replacing some illustrators and graphic designers. I think there is already strong evidence for causation.
Yeah, and we switched from all these meta frameworks that change their mind and get rewritten every Tuesday into using real full stack batteries included frameworks and then use React through Inertia.js.

Best of both worlds, and a stable and proven foundation to build on top of.

I don’t trust any of these meta frameworks anymore.

You’ll need other heuristics for ToC and indices but headers/footers are easy to detect via n-gram deduplication. You’ll want to figure out some rolling logic to handle chapter changes though.

Hi. I'm a PhD candidate with my projects wrapped up (a pending journal revision before I can formally graduate, and therefore available full-time) working mostly in 3D model reconstruction of temples of size 20-50 meters. I have worked in computer graphics/vision projects in academia (funded by govt and industry), I'm looking forward to switch to industry. I bring mathematical knowledge and experience working with large amount of data and good grasp of statistical modeling, and programming with all the usual libraries. Please email me only if you are looking to work on computer graphics/vision problems.

The problem is, lately you can't tell if they are normal or high beams. Something about the cooler color and sharper quality of the LED lights maybe? Often as I curse an oncoming driver for not dipping their beams I notice in my rearview they turn them on after they pass me. So they were low beams to begin with.

wat. So is it personalized, or automated? Actually nevermind.

Good. Go and vote me down to oblivion, but when I read this from a robot-template-spammer this is the only word that comes to my mind.
> limitations of probabilistic models that hallucinate, where they authoritatively state things that aren't true

I really don't understand why people think it's some insurmountable wall. People do hallucinate in the same way llm-s do. If you talk to a baby that just acquired language it spews all sorts of nonsense, but also some sensible things.

So far we made a baby, granted, with huge vocabulary and shallow knowledge of many things. But now we need to raise it. The same way we raise humans. With better training. By exposing it to new knowlege but also reducing input of garbage. By making it hear the words that have more and more complex concepts behind them and telling it when it generates outputs that are erroneous.

It's a monumental task, but we are not raising an only child. We need to figure out how to make children cooperate and teach from each other.

Synthetic data will be a huge part of this process. Gold and shovels ... AI might be search for gold, but creating variety of synthetic data from deep reasoning will be shovels factory.

It's weird that people suddenly expect 4 year old to accurately reproduce encyclopedia just because it can talk now.
Asus and other OEMs have had Android tablets on x86 for quite some time.

In any case, except for shared objects written with the NDK, the actual CPU hardly matters, even across ARM there is enough variation.
IIRC there never was any kind of shareware version of TTD much less at any kind of stable URL that OpenTTD could automaticaly download. Also OpenTTD needed assets from particular version of TTD (different one than what I have as a boxed copy).

The PMs scored a win, who cares if it's actually usable. They still congratulate eachother on getting some DL papers out in 2016, and the juggernaut will keep chugging along burning ad monopoly money.

They're so inwards focused, it's like mainstream politics. Noone cares that they are turning into an obsolete also-ran as long as there's internal fame to be made.
Ok, but wouldn’t it be nice to have a language that checks all that automatically? (And is much nicer than C++ in most other ways too.)

Does it? I thought it was vice versa.

In the past elections were, at least on occassion, won by massive landslides, before then the 'other side' ending up back in power.

This is only possible if people, at scale, were voting based on merit, rather than tribalism.

Nowadays either side could run a literal vegetable and get near half the vote.
I can't back this up with data, so this is just my opinion.

Economies of scale are better in almost every way, if the benefits of economies of scale are somewhat evenly distributed, and that the benefits don't come with significant negatives somewhere else.

However, most of the time, the majority of the benefits of economies of scale tend to go to the wealthy. The small amount of benefits that do go to consumers/people make them think that they are the beneficiaries, and often the societal cost is masked.
First, a ton of arXiv articles are fairly low quality so nothing new there. Published math research though is of a fairly high quality but mostly irrelevant and too specialized. I doubt it is a stunt. Rather, it's probably a sign of late-stage research boredom where all the useful stuff has been done and now there's not much else to do but invent arcane puzzles for amusement.
Yes VDSL likely is more common nowadays but in publicly available stats they are counted together so better to call it xDSL or just DSL. E. g. https://www.fcc.gov/reports-research/reports/measuring-broad... talks about DSL and DLS speeds not that high.

False dichotomy. The point of the quote is to worry about not breaking the product. It's still possible to deliver features while keeping it working.
Self-leveling usually "one time", or "slowly", as in changes based on the weight on the rear axle. It doesn't work on the timescale of acceleration, braking, cornering, etc.
armchair hardware enthusiast opinion: because silicon in the high-end is expensive, and not just a matter of slapping things together.

besides the clear limitation of the memory technology they are using compared to the nvidia's enterprise solution, for such large GPU chips that could really make use of such memory, they need to make binning possible by selling cut-down versions of them as well.

nvidia can pull this off because they can sell lower-end chips at the same time. intel is barely making a dent in sales, and making a high-end chip will only be very risky, at the cost of potentially benefiting a niche crowd.

> put them as a major CUDA threat.
that is a software/ecosystem problem, which hardware alone cannot solve. for all the devs that use Macs, even in AI it is only about inference at the moment. nobody is coming at CUDA for training for the near future. amd tried and failed plenty already.
It’s beautiful. Reminds me of a post Armageddon montage.

It's the argument to --resolve, not the desired URL.

Provide a custom address for a specific host and port pair. Using this, you can make the curl requests(s)
use a specified address and prevent the otherwise normally resolved address to be used. Consider it a
sort of /etc/hosts alternative provided on the command line.
Yeah, I deliberately avoided using the word "foundation" as I wasn't too confident about that. But I believe it makes sense to say that category theory and set theory both seek to formalise and generalise much of mathematics? Even if the first is more of a sort of framework than a foundation.
Now to make it even more fun, add something like Synk forcing updates due to security issues.

As an attorney, I find your plea bargain argument unpersuasive. Major themes in the criminal justice system are acknowledgment of guilt and acceptance of responsibility. These are going to work against you after spending a year claiming you didn’t do it if the jury decides you did.
Relationships are like a garden, they require continual, repeated effort to maintain.

It doesn’t need to be an onerous amount of effort, but reaching out to people to shoot the shit once even a year is often enough to maintain the relationship for professional networks at least.

In software we have an unfortunate amount of people who don’t value social connections at all so we end up with a large tranche of people who can’t get past the “but why would I talk to them without a specific reason?” argument and then lament why all of their relationships end up transactional, or even better lament why no one will help them specifically because all their relationships are transactional and they aren’t offering anything of value

If you do not consider the problem at all, you have not made a decision on it; any more than you have to make a decision about, say, the most aesthetically pleasing perspective of Olympus Mons for prospective Martian colonists.

The actual point stands, either way: Whether you do not make a decision, or you decide not to act, the outcome is the same--and it is often a better outcome than the result of reactive or proactive decision-making.
1. Blue on red is not nice on the eyes, at all.

I post a link to NEAT here about once a week.

The big problem is that NEAT can't leverage a GPU effectively at scale (arbitrary topologies vs bipartite graphs)

Other than that, it feels like a "road not taken" of machine learning. It handles building complex agent behaviors really well, and pressure to minimal topology results in understandable and reverse interpretable networks.

Its easier to learn and implement than back propagation, the speciation is the most complex but awesome feature. It develops multiple solutions, clustering them to iterate on them separately. An online learning NEAT agent is in practice is an online collection of behaviors, adapting and swapping dominance as their fitness changes.
There's a similarity in the simplicity of ordering, yes.

But that's where the similarity ends.

As an American, even I know that a Full English has a defined set of things included. Sausages, mushrooms, etc: It can't be a Full English without the things that constitute a Full English Breakfast.

But otherwise, the special (or maybe more properly, "the daily special" but nobody ever says it like that) isn't like ordering a Full English at all. The special isn't even a little bit predefined.

The Special could be a club sandwich and potato chips, or meatloaf and mashed potatos, or a burger and fries, or some tacos, or regional fish like Walleye or something. Or whatever.

And the main distinction is that The Special changes daily, and oftentimes there will be different Specials for lunch, breakfast, and dinner.

In American diners, the special is usually written on a sign on the wall and/or maybe outside by the door.

Whatever it is, at whatever time, it's just a reasonably-complete meal that they're selling at a special low price right now that requires minimum effort on everyone's part and that they're prepared to serve a ton of today.

And tomorrow, the special will be something completely different.

A person may or may not be able to order whatever items that comprised yesterday's special, but if they can then the price will be higher today than it was yesterday.

But that doesn't matter, see? Just walk in, order "The Special," and food will show up.

US lawmakers back Covid Chinese lab leak theory after two-year probe
I came across this store the other day while browsing LinkedIn. It's actually by the same guy who made the EspoTek Labrador electronics board (disclaimer: I contributed to the Labrador repo back in 2019)
Very good point.

What's the old saying "A friend in need, is a friend, indeed."?

I like to have personal relationships, as opposed to corporate ones.

Funny story: During the 1990s, my direct boss was a fairly low-key Japanese man. I really liked him. He was a marketing type, so we didn't really have a technical basis for our relationship. He was a decent chap, and I happily followed his orders. In return, he gave me a great deal of agency.

After he returned to Japan, we'd run into each other, from time to time, and it was always a warm, effusive greeting.

Years later, he was the Chairman of the Board of the corporation. I never leveraged the relationship, but my team was always treated well, at our level. We were a small technical team, and it would have been inappropriate to focus on us too much. I had very little ambition to go much higher up the corporate food chain, so all was fine.
Once, he made a visit to our office (the US branch). It was a really big deal, and people were snapping to attention all over the building.

He dropped by my tiny little office, to say hi. It was really amusing, to see the puzzled expressions on all the corporate bigwigs in his entourage.
Hmm, your analogy about water levels is so relatable. It captures how people’s capacity to engage can differ without it being anyone’s fault
https://www.theguardian.com/science/2023/dec/16/physicist-bo...

Your educational experiment involved 54 schoolchildren, aged 15-17, who were randomly selected from around 1,000 applicants, from 36 UK schools – mostly state schools. The teenagers spent two hours a week in online classes and after eight weeks were given a test using questions from an Oxford postgraduate quantum physics exam. More than 80% of the pupils passed and around half earned a distinction. Were you surprised by their success?

At one point, I was going to call off the whole thing because I thought it was going to be a complete disaster. We’d originally wanted the kids to interact with each other on social media or communicate online, but that wasn’t allowed due to the ethical guidelines for the experiment. I thought, what sort of educational experience is it, if you can’t talk to each other?

This is the Covid generation: none of them put their cameras on [for the online classes], so we were looking at a black screen. None of them asked questions using their voices, they just typed. It was a difficult teaching challenge by all standards. We also saw a self-esteem problem with the students. But the majority of kids liked that we had announced that you didn’t need a complex maths background. The maths had been a barrier to kids who had wanted to access this knowledge.

And then we got back the numbers. They did significantly better than we see from university-level students. Exams were marked blind, so we don’t know how many came in with the aim of pursuing Stem. We are processing that data now.
Notable is that it's not the actual half-life of the Pu238 that causes the majority of the performance regression, but the degradation of the materials that convert the temperature differential into electricity.

In other words, they could have lasted a lot longer. But of course they've outlasted their design life many times over.
I've no idea what to take from this. Large parts sound like carefully planned entryism: Identify the gatekeepers, if they reject you, move on.

The situation where the gatekeepers do let you in but their gatekeeping is not apparent until years later is not mentioned.

Providing excellent work is not mentioned.

Given the political state of software "development", the poster might be on to something, but it is hard to find any concrete advice.
Most assemblers have higher-level features like macros built in to make it easier to write. Once you start building abstractions (as Chris surely would've done) it becomes more manageable, but of course, still more work than writing C.

Instead of talking about that, spare a thought for the awful x86 memory segmentation mode[1] --- now that sucked.

Show HN: Unit testing framework for C11 and beyond
A few years ago I quit my Big Corp job to pursue my passion for software development. Since then, I started my own independent software company and I'm releasing my first project: Audition - a unit testing framework for C11 and beyond.

I've used other C testing frameworks in the past, but they all fell short in some way or another. Audition is intended to be the complete package: automatic test registration, type-generic assertions, native function mocking without relying on external tools, detailed error reporting, and optional sandbox isolation. I hope you'll check it out.

domain names are like real estate in a poorly-planned city.

the city centre is overcrowded and super-expensive, while the new neighbourhoods in the suburbs are a mixed bag.

while some become instant hits and sometimes cost more than inside the city (like .ai lately), while you got these tlds that only bring pain.

not to forget you are always leasing, and own nothing in the end.

It's ready now. T-Mobile US is IPv6-only on handsets, as are many other carriers:

Microsoft went towards IPv6-only in corporate networks so that their IPv4 address could be moved to Azure to generate revenue:

If you have no clue how profit margins are calculated then you're better off staying quiet.

It's quite simple. Divide revenue minus costs by revenue. Transaction volume isn't revenue. Visa only gets the transaction fee.

Even if I give you the benefit of the doubt and do a proper interpretation of the number you've arrived at, its meaning is quite different and quite off topic from this discussion. What you have calculated is the total share of costs that Visa represents in that 12 trillion dollar part of the economy. It is like saying Visa's share of GDP is 0.1%.

Well said. It's hilarious people don't know about regulatory capture and have so much faith in politicians.
Reddit is an odd half mix. It seems like most everything they have is dual stack, including the CDN and "reddit.com"... but the "www.reddit.com" page you get redirected to is itself IPv4 only (and maybe some authentication endpoints or something, I haven't looked lately). They'll probably get there shortly.

Discord is an interesting one. On GitHub they've more or less straight out said "we built our backend with a bunch of hardcoded ipv4 addresses and logic and it hasn't been a priority to go back and fix vs build out the app".
