Microphone / camera / speaker in meeting?

I'm sympathetic to the way you're looking at this, but imho the end state will be similar to most other automating technologies.

The simplest, lowest-effort work will be automated (sitting and transcribing), and humans will reapply themselves to (more productively) do higher-level tasks.

> I would love if the cookie modals on each site became browser-level

They are, in a roundabout way. Hop into your uBlock Origin settings and enable the Cookie Banners and Annoyances filters. The modal gets silently nuked in the background and you can carry on with your browsing. Since you never consented, this ought to be functionally the same as Declining the banner.

The Kill Sticky bookmark works similarly, for crappy browsers that don't support uBlock Origin (eg iOS, Chrome for Android): https://www.smokingonabike.com/2024/01/20/take-back-your-web...

(Remember when web browsers used to treat their users first and implemented things like Popup Blocking, enabled by default? I miss those days.)
Baseline 2024: more tools to help web developers
Exactly this. I was thinking exactly like GP but I've been doing a large amount of benchmarking on this and the FFT rapidly overcomes direct convolution with cudnn, cublas, cutlass... I think I'd seen a recent Phd thesis exploring and confirming this recently. NlogN beats N^2 or N^3 quickly, even with tensor cores. At some point complexity overcomes even the bestest hardware optimizations.

And the longer the convolution the more matrices look tall-skinny (less optimized). Also you have to duplicate a lot of data to make your matrix toeplitz/circulant and fit into matmul kernels which convolution is a special case...
AI in Radiology: Is It Being Adopted?
I worked for two years as a machine learning/computer vision engineer in a startup specializing in creating tools for radiologists for faster and more accurate annotation of CT (computed tomography) scans.

This article is the summary of what I learned about how radiologists operate, what is the state and challenges of AI adoption, and what are the areas where value could be created.

If you're good with handling hunger - that's great!

A lot of people get hypoglycemic (ie, irritable) when low on blood sugar, so for them, snacking is an acceptable evil (esp. if only healthier snacks are stocked).

For me, I find whipping up some dill/garlic/mayo dip + cut carrots, or celery + good PB a meaningful snack.

My guideline is to try to find a good carb/fiber ratio (pref: 5:1), and avoid added sugars.
I mean I agree, I'm against advertisers.

But advertisers exist and will continue to exist, and have no incentive to follow this. I don't think either are at fault necessarily; I think it was a weak attempt all around.

The only thing that will get companies to comply are a/ laws (and so far all laws have done is annoy end users) b/ browsers doing more to block tracking (which is almost impossible; this will forever be a game of cat-and-mouse).

> “Have you ever been denied a medical insurance claim?” Those who answer yes will definitely not make the jury.

That’s not a sufficient basis for a dismissal for cause, most people who have ever had insurance would answer “Yes” to that question, and prosecutors don’t have an infinite number of peremptory challenges.

So, they probably won’t dismiss on the basis of that answer alone, but do some followup if the answer is “Yes”.
Well yeah, and GPT is just a bunch of matrix multiplications configured in a specific way.

There is a difference between a bar fight and killing someone with intent. A bar fight is a fight for dominance, like you see in animals, the outcome is rarely fatal as the point is just to establish who is stronger and who should submit.

We have an aversion to killing that goes further than the fear of consequences. It can be seen in the military, where soldiers naturally don't want to kill their enemies, even when they have incentives to do so. To be effective, soldiers have to be desensitized to killing through their training. Enemies are dehumanized, they train on human shaped targets, etc... And even with all that training, after a few years of active service, many start questioning their life choices. It is common for military pilots, who enlist for the love of flying, until they realize what they are really doing, i.e. killing people. When that happens, it is time to retire to a noncombatant job.

Punishing crime is not useless, but I think saying that consequences are the cause of aversion for killing is backwards. We have a natural aversion for killing, especially when we are in a prosperous situation like we (the first world) are now in. And that's why we take murder so seriously.

And speaking of murder, our natural aversion for killing shows when we see how we treat the death penalty nowadays. The death penalty is (generally) for the worst people humanity has to offer, their killing have been approved by the highest authority, and there is still opposition. We even have rituals to offload the responsibility of killing from the executioners. For example by having a random person in a firing squad fire a blank round.

These problems are trivial when considering that we're already living in a sci-fi timeline where this technology was largely considered impossible 10 years ago. You're asking how it's going to know to ask the right questions, and to whom, when getting a system to ask questions in a general sense was the hard part. If you can't imagine humanity overcoming this hurdle, you lack in imagination.

I started a side project with my older brother called NanaGram.co that makes it easy to text message photos to a unique phone number, then once a month they get printed and shipped to your loved ones.

I've since moved on from it, but my brother makes enough to work on NanaGram full-time now. It's also just been really cool to see the project grow over the years and bring happiness to thousands of grandparents all over the world.

If you are in the cloud, you are going to need a team that understands cloud networking, storage, deployment, security etc. You will need enough people to maintain support rotations and survive normal churn.

It seems like many people/organizations belived that they would be rid of the whole "operations problem" once they shifted all their workloads from on-prem to cloud. They believed that they paid a full team for running cables and replacing broken fans/hard drives/PSU:s, when that aspect of on-prem is a tiny (but non-zero) amount of work.

True. I flew Black Hawks instead of Apaches, but we also had a HUD monocle that we could attach to our NVGs (so it was only for aided night flight in our case). It prevented us from having to shift our eyes from the NVG image down to the actual cockpit instruments. For me, adapting to the HUD was much easier than adapting to the NVGs themselves; I remember drifting backwards at 15 knots and 30 feet over a runway when I thought I was at a stable 10-foot hover a few weeks into NVG training[1]. The Apache monocle is probably more difficult to use because it overlays the instrumentation on the real-world instead of another synthetic image.

[1] Somewhat amused, the instructor pilot let it happen for a few seconds before asking me if I was OK and could see what was happening. It was a formative learning experience.
Fun fact I literally implemented a memory pool since most of the allocs were on the same sized structs and did worse than the os allocator.
I'm really interested in this bit: "the fracture with the community is not about licensing, or at least it’s not mainly about licensing"

I wish he'd elaborated a bit more on what he thought it was about. My understanding is that it's 100% about the license. That's certainly why I'll reach for valkey instead of redis next time I need it. That's also what I've heard from everyone else in a similar position. What else would the community split be about?
There are two orthogonal issues. You're mainly talking about the need of making the tracking (for people who don't want to be tracked) impractical; what also needs to be done is to make it illegal.

I feel like DNT was a "rushed" (i.e. with no legal backing) attempt to achieve the latter.
Migrating the CPU IP Development from MIPS to RISC-V
>The Canadian system may be much cheaper to administer, but it isn't magical. There is still a need for staff to administer and adjudicate claims, and you still have to ration limited healthcare resources somehow.

But it isn't just the Canadian system -- it's every other system too.[0]

There is a unique form of corruption occurring in the American health system and it is absolutely tied to the insurance industry.

This corruption causes the misallocation of resources in ways that are detrimental to the health of American citizens.

Medical bankruptcy and the cost that it has on a person's health isn't really a thing in Canada. Having to choose between paying for medical bills or healthy food isn't really a thing in Canada. People putting off minor medical issues until they grow into major issues because they can't afford routine checkups or treatments isn't really a thing in Canada.

This results in far less rationing of healthcare because people are able to make better choices that prevent the waste of medical resources.

Don't get me wrong, there are issues with Canadian healthcare -- the biggest being corrupt politicians and business people trying to import American healthcare practices for their personal gain but the issues that the average Canadian face in accessing healthcare are nothing compared to those that the average American faces.

But that will not pay a modest developer salary. The corporate side of FICA is 7.62%. Also add in health insurance, a retirement plan, office space, a computer for the developer ... and that's just the human side. There's all the corporate costs (e.g., servers) and regulatory filings.

The only play I can see with something like this is to ride it out and hope some established player buys you out for the tech.
My point is he (CEO) is viewed by many as most culpable for fraudulently denied claims at UHC -- and there are crimes, even non-financial ones like drug dealing, that tightly couple level of organization and sales of a product to differences in penalty for even a singe death.

> Executing cargo bench on Limbo’s main directory, we can compare SQLite running SELECT * FROM users LIMIT 1 (620ns on my Macbook Air M2), with Limbo executing the same query (506ns), which is 20% faster.

Faster on a single query, returning a single result, on a single computer. That's not how database performance should be measured or compared.

In any case, the programming language should have little to no impact on the database performance, since the majority of the time is spent waiting on io anyway
I'd be surprised if they NYPD and the FBI spent anything even remotely close to e.g. 10% of what they did in this cases to investigate any random average murder.

I too bought this book and was somewhat disappointed. Some of the algorithms seems too contrived and specific. (All the code is here: https://abrazol.com/books/rhythm1/software.html)

I guess my wish would be a companion to Geometry of Musical Rhythm with lots implementations of code to demonstrate concepts. Euclidean Rhythm implementations seem to be everywhere, but there is SO MUCH MORE to cover.

Still, I'm kind of stuck on this idea that there may be a way to map the discrete mathematics of this rhythm stuff into a continuous mathematics for more natural and fluid rhythmic expression. It's just a theory and a few experiments so far.

> lending MY shares out to predatory short-sellers who's sole purpose is to decrease the value of MY shares.

Sure, that is their goal. But, shorting equities is a tough game, because most years the market goes up. An investor who is broadly short the market would therefore lose money more often than not, and has to pay borrow fees on top of that.

If you hold shares that you think are going to go up, you absolutely should be willing to lend out your shares because it will enhance your return.
>> If Double goes out of business, your assets are safe and held in your name at Apex Clearing. They have processes in place for these scenarios to help you access and transfer those assets.
>> SIPC protection covers against a brokerage firm failing, which in our case is Apex Clearing. We are not currently a brokerage so SIPC would not apply if Double goes bankrupt.

Dear @jjmaxwell4 -- I'm not really worried about your service given you're a layer atop Apex, however, this is a very common conversation happening right now on many forums -- could you clarify a bit more, how one would "get comfortable" with a new product?

I'm assuming the list is something like this, but that is an non-expert guess:

- Is the institution i'm interacting with regulated (in your case, Yes, Double is regulated by The SEC)

- Who holds my funds, and are they regulated (in your case, the funds are held by Apex Clearing, and if I understand correctly, Apex is a broker dealer regulated by The SEC)

- Are the funds held in my name or pooled in with other money? (in your case, I think the funds are held by Apex only in my name)

I think one of the problems with the Yotta/Synapse/Evolve collapse is -- its unclear how one even evaluates their level of risk.

It is also unclear how one validates SIPC coverage, like could I go to SIPC and enter an account number and validate the funds are actually covered somewhere across the layers?

Would be great for someone who knows this area to comment.
> Not exactly.

The problem you are describing is fundamentally different from that in the US.

The problem in the US is that in many cases the money is literally just pocketed and returned to shareholders. The problem with funding of groups who are likely to fail due to connections is significant of course, but at least even in that failure mode money is spent on R&D and infrastructure, which at least has a chance of some success and even in failure will develop talent.

Tsinghua Unigroup is a good example. Yes it failed and defaulted, but from it's failure there is YMTC which is a huge strategic success and UNISOC which is a moderate success.

The issue you're describing is also present in the US, by the way, with local governments using tax rebates or direct incentives to lure corporations, and lobbying for subsidies to unsuccessful businesses due their locality/connections.
The fact that there's no alternative implementation of SQLite also seems to play a part in preventing standardization of WebSQL.

Counter: It does, because some organizations and webmasters did respect it.

The other option, Mozilla should have done, is shame companies that did not respect it. A continually updated list, a notification when browsing a site that did not, etc, but the problem comes from this being a vendor issue and that it would not be 100% accurate.

Shaming is the only way this would have worked out, but they didn't, but for the ones who did this out of being a decent organization, they now no longer have a standard to base it on.

AI Widens Access to Tax-Optimization Strategies
It seems relatively trivial to crack down on the bulk of it by providing people open and transparent access to their digital medical records.

In a situation like that many people can proactively look over their records to determine if such corruption is happening.
This is straight-up identity theft, and likely breaks any number of consumer protection laws. I don't necessarily mind AI being used to write articles that are otherwise factual, but stealing a reporter's name to write about places he's never been and things he's never done, restaurants he's never eaten at - strikes me as a dangerous gamble for companies playing in the slim margins of advertising-based journalism.

AI may write a great restaurant review or local experience story, but the lack of fact-checking is disturbing and I hope the corporations behind these tools can be held to account when they inevitably harm someone with egregious misinformation.
