What's Windows like on it? Any major app limitations you've run into?

To be honest I'd love to try it out with Debian once all the upstream support is merged.
For compute offload, Google has indeed done that - the Tensor chips have Google's TPUs instead of Qualcomm DSPs.

Both on these TPUs as well as on pre-Tensor hardware that had Qualcomm DSPs, Pixels would not allow apps access to the kernel interfaces. Access would be blocked or mediated via a separate service process ('binderized HAL').

(Some) OEMs have repeatedly opened access to these kernel interfaces in order to trade security for performance.

(I used to work on compute offload at Google).
Pineapple is objectively the best pizza topping because it's one of the only toppings which makes pizza into a fully rounded scientific flavor experience. The five flavors which we can detect are sweet, salty, bitter, sour, and umami (savory). A basic cheese pizza covers two, maybe three of these flavors — salty, umami, and maybe sweet, depending on the sauce used. Pineapple covers three flavors — sweet, sour, and bitter (if it's fresh). This means that pineapple pizza fully features all of the five flavors.

What other topping can you say that about? Not pepperoni, nor olives, certainly not mushrooms or sausage. No other pizza topping as perfectly rounds out the flavor profile of pizza as pineapple, especially fresh pineapple, and that is why it's the superior topping.
This looks great, but I'm confused by this part:

> Veo sample duration is 8s, VideoGen’s sample duration is 10s, and other models' durations are 5s. We show the full video duration to raters.

Could the positive result for Veo 2 mean the raters like longer videos? Why not trim Veo 2's output to 5s for a better controlled test?

I'm not surprised this isn't open to the public by Google yet, there's a huge amount of volunteer red-teaming to be done by the public on other services like hailuoai.video yet.

P.S. The skate tricks in the final video are delightfully insane.
The path of least resistance is to jam flags where they don't belong, sed patches, etc. Works well enough, so that's what ends up happening.

That's more or less what I suspected. I think it is fascinating to see the cultural differences on these topics. In the US, both parties of voters are extremely critical of such partnerships, claiming either corruption or waste.

Why do you think this is? Are the EU voters less price critical to spending? Are they simply more trusting?
I am forever horrified when my 5G phone, which at my house already only gets 4G at best (the politics of cell towers in Southern England is just a sad sad story) drops now to 2G!!! Dropping a modern smartphone to 2G is like basically saying "no network". The only things I use it for are unusable. I rarely make calls. I rarely send SMS. Vodafone dropped 3G, O2 will drop it early next year and the others some time soonish too. Using a smart phone in a rural area now kind of feels like going back to 2007 if I am going to be honest.
I've actually done my migration the other way around. I started with zigbee2mqtt, saw that HA now offers ZHA and switched to that. It just works with all devices I own, so the end result is one less moving part I need to update so the choice was easy.
Over-marketed the technology, under-marketed the benefits.
> Campaign contributions are tracked and searchable by employer though.

Which is mostly misleading – corporations represent the shared interests of their stockholders not their employees, who often have adversarial material and political interests to their employers. Corporations political participation is through corporate PACs and independent expenditures, not primarily through the direct campaign contributions of people who happen to work with them.

Interesting, while contributions are reported blindly by employer, federal election law on corporate PACs recognizes this distinction in the “restricted class” of decision–making employees from whom corporate PACs may solicit donations. It would be interesting if direct contributions by employees were divided between this “restricted class” and other employees. (Though, again, stockholders are still more indicative of corporate interest than any class of employees.)
Rare case where the actual issue is even more sad and ridiculous than the headline.
I did check it, it does not appear to mention this factor at all. I would assume then that they are focusing only on individuals who were able to actually get treatment, since this seems to be the survival rate among patients in treatment.

Besides the questionable rent-seeking behavior from myQ:

* I don't want to use an integration that needs a round-trip through the cloud to work. Long-term changes are inevitable (company goes out of business, randomly changes API, etc.)

* I fundamentally do not like Amazon Key integration. It gives someone else control over my security hardware which makes me very uncomfortable. I am not sure if it's opt-in or out, but the point is that a myQ device that is installed _can_ be configured to let arbitrary third party to open the door.

If I have a choice, I'd rather set up a system that I control from the get-go rather than try to lobotomize a system that I can't fully control.

Econ 101 is the first semester of a multi year degree. By necessity it focuses on idealistic concepts. Nothing wrong with that—of course N-order effects, psychology, and information disparity, etc need to be taken into account in the real world.

Ask HN: Have you hit a context ceiling with an LLM? What did you do about it?
For the past few months - since the "long-context" beta feature landed in Cursor - my team has been interacting with Claude 3.5 Sonnet for a wide variety of purposes, from boring code changes to learning about each other and identify our shared goals.

We're a team of 5 musicians with varying degrees of experience in programming (from none at all up to decades of professional experience). We want to build something special to document the indices and historical anchors of bluegrass and other traditional music, and to create economies around them to do better for musicians than the labels and ticketing services have been able/willing to do.

The LLM was like having a sixth member of our team who was able to follow our team members day by day as they have evolved their core competency from guitar and mandolin to javascript and solidity. It's been a wonderful experience.

...but then, late last night, we suddenly started getting "Connection failed" for every message. Through poking and prodding in new chats, and pasting and/or attaching different amounts of the previous chat logs to them, it became obvious that we've hit a context ceiling.

We tried getting our own Anthropic API key, but indeed we hit a token rate limit immediately.

So, my question is: what's next? What needs to evolve or change so that we can have this member of our team who can help interweave the different stages of our journey with respect to programming, music theory, booking shows, etc?

How practical is it for us to write/train our own GPT for this purpose? Is that something to consider in the coming years?
There's a reason Feit is so cheap.
You are restating the optimization problem of how much to tolerate?

Agreed that it is common for folks to discuss eliminating fraud/non-compliance as the target; and the reality is that you should spend up against fraud/non-compliance up to the point that you do not lose more to those than you are now spending on fighting them.

This is unsurprisingly general in application. It explains why people neglect maintenance costs, for example. Since there will be some level of neglect that can be tolerated and the opportunity costs of constant maintenance checking can be severe.

Bringing it back to this, though, my understanding is that most increases of funding to the IRS has positive returns. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/economy/irs-expects-to-collect-... is a quick find for what made me think this. I would not be shocked to know this is overstated, but would be a little surprised. Do you have contrary reads?
I think it means that it's like [Lunos](https://www.lunos.de/en/for-heat-recovery). The unit alternates between exhaust and intake every couple of minutes. The air being exhausted heats up a core, which in the next cycle warms the air from the outside. Lunos e2 is advertised to recover 90% of heat and 20–30% of humidity.
Ask Ethan: Does quantum computation occur in parallel universes?
Stronger regulation would help everyone also those with more defenses. Who in the world is saying "I spend too little of my life doomscrolling"?

And IIUC it is the same with narcotics/alcohol/nicotine: Not everyone are equally affected by them, consequence wise and/or addiction wise, whether due to genetics or social or economic status. In those cases we use the law to regulate to protect the ones most suspectible.

That wasn't the case when these things were brand new.

In some years social media might be regulated in the way alcohol and smoking is (as Australia already did). But right now it is just the tiny beginnings of getting acceptance that parents ought to regulate their kids on this issue and that this is OK and a good thing.

No, that’s not what qualified immunity does. QI applies to civil liability, which only attaches to things which have been expressly forbidden.

Do you use a search engine? Do you think search engine results pages are more efficient than getting an answer from an LLM?

Apple’s LLM is uniquely useless, because it doesn’t do anything LLM like and Con continually returns “here’s what I found on the web”. Actual consumer LLM apps like Microsoft Copilot are leagues ahead.
If you're that ready to "determine the duration of your life," then you can do it yourself, without a publicly funded and legally authorized program to help you. Require anything more than you and your own devices, and you're not really as individualistic as you think you are.

You're completely missing the point though. Companies get political favor by the donation activity of their employees and also the employees work to discourage contributions by the unfavored party.

Companies/shareholders exercise their interests by _controlling who they hire_. We even cover over this with how we recruit and demographically.

When you're talking about industries that skew towards highly paid employees (tech, legal, etc), you're actually determining winners and losers in society by political affiliation.

Assuming “a meeting” is one hour (you should really provide a lot more detail if it isn’t when making a claim like that), then something was seriously wrong with that PC. My 3 year old Intel PC (Dell 7420) easily gets through 4 or 5 hours before I start worrying about plugging in.

For many products I think it's incorrect to say they're designed to stop working after a maximum duration. That would be a very expensive thing to actually design and implement. You can test a component and understand its MTBF but it's much harder to design a "die after X days" without explicitly putting in way fuses that a burnt after some counter expires.

Instead it's more accurate to realize things are made to survive at least a minimum period of time. Components get engineered such their MTBF is longer than some mandated warranty period.

While it seems like only a semantic difference I've found thinking this way really helps me price things. If you look at an item and assume it's been engineered to have a MTBF just a bit longer than its warranty/support period you can calculate its amortized price, including an evaluation of extended warranties or service contracts.

This is instead of assuming I can buy something and it will last a decade. If something lasts me longer than my estimate that's awesome and I'll likely favor that brand on my next purchase.
People seem to forget that the more legislation there is around something the more it is only feasible to do if you are a corporate person. Human persons just don't have the same rights or protections from liabilty.
I wonder if NOT providing a separate, exclusive account/card/sim etc to a developer is a common trope in fintech. I avoided linking my personal things like hell, and they avoided giving me a damn immutable plastic that would work/get paid for more than a few days. So much friction just because something stopped working or had to get back into oven and they had no replacement at hand. I even had to maintain a separate table for tracking personal balance-replenishing expenses cause no one’s gonna do it immediately.

Winning 2:1 in user preference versus sora turbo is impressive. It seems to have very similar limitations to sora.

Though by my eye maybe slightly better emulating natural movement and physics in comparison to sora. The blog post has slightly more info:

I've been a "casual" Emacs user for 20ish years. I've never written a full-blown package, but went thru several cycles of init.el bankruptcy.

In my opinion and from my POV, Elisp is completely fine - no need to amend or replace it. The last thing I'd like is to mix yet another language into my config (already have to call out to shell and AppleScript).

Now I don't know how annoying Elisp is for package authors, or maybe there's a Guile/Scheme library somewhere out there that Emacs could desperately use.

The problems are IMHO elsewhere, and the main one is that Emacs feels antiquated next to literally any text editor conceived in the past 30+ years. The defaults are awful - most of my config is just fixing papercuts, like adding support for light/dark mode, finding a reasonable font and applying text size consistently, locating the correct LSP executable, or following platform conventions for copy/paste (all across Linux, OpenBSD, and macOS).

I would really like it if Magit was a standalone program, rather than an Emacs package, so that I could just switch to a more reasonable editor.
The impression I have from period reporting is that American carriers still saw voice and SMS as core businesses and viewed anything that directly tried to transition users away from that as a threat. Including a messaging app on a phone wasn't dangerous if both parties had to have it, but a seamless upgrade from SMS as the default would lead to nobody using SMS.

iMessage was exactly that sort of threat, and articles from the time mention carriers disliking it. Not selling iPhones would have hurt a carrier more than it would have hurt Apple, so their negotiating position was weak.

Google didn't have as tight control over Android as it does now, so carriers could pressure OEMs to not include Hangouts, or at least not make it the default SMS client.

Yes, it's important to clarify what age group people are talking about. But we shouldn't automatically assume everyone it talking about military-aged students.
> To me, the question is would it have an actual TV tuner in it? Would Apple bother with making a whole interface around scanning for channels and such when it’s not a common use case anymore, adds complexity, and isn’t necessarily in their interest financially? Maybe it will end up being a very large monitor, but sold like a TV. Perhaps alongside the existing Apple TV box, which would hopefully get a rebranding.

ATSC 3.0 is suppose to have IP networking requirement for ad so Apple would probably be better of abandoning this if they're selling an add free privacy TV.

Totally right! Now let me log off to catch the nightly 6 hour programming block of CIA/FBI/military dramas. It helps me forget about all those scary Chinese drones flying around. Oh and did you see the trailer for the latest Alex Garland movie about our brave soldiers in Iraq? True heroes!
Sure. Thing is, every one of those technologies I listed also "helped as an augment to normal style education."

Including a copy of a book like "Introduction to Latin".

I have to be hand-wavy because the full analysis has to include factors like the cost of licensing, the cost of hardware and maintenance, the time to integrate into the curriculum, how often the UI and content changes, and the loss of space for and access to other resources.

Like, our local elementary school got rid of its staff librarian to have money for more student electronics, and now they are talking about bringing a librarian back.

I've only ever seen PLATO-based systems used at the college level, which is where we also expect students to be more self-motivated. That would be another factor.

Russell’s teapot is not a logical proposition as to what’s true and what is not. It is philosophizing about burden of proof in a low information context in a debate. It is a persuasion tactic, an exercise in philosophy, not at all a logical proposition.

Also its context (religious belief in a deity) is not at all like a scenario where a history of adversarial motives are established. There would be reason to believe the adversary would do certain things if they could, simply because the incentive is so strong and their history of behavior suggests that.

Simply the line that was suggested “there is no backdoor until we find one” is logically self-defeating. The logical proposition of the existence of backdoor cannot be a function of us finding one or not. You can discuss what the policy should be as a risk analysis question, not as a logical “there is no backdoor” from Iraqi Information Officer meme template.
