I wouldn't be shocked at all. In the 90s I consulted for a couple of UK firms that used OS/2 - a training company I worked for used a (nightmarish) C++ compiler that only ran, very badly, on it. And I trained several batches of VMS programmers in converting to Unix.

This is not true. There are tons of set top boxes out there are underpower piece of garbage. Unless you are getting your hands on Google Streamer/Apple TV.
Yeah, it's subtle. There are friends I can call out of the blue no problem, and others that I definitely need to text first. Generally determined by how well I know them, or in what context I met them. If it's someone I haven't called before, I'd consider it rude to just call them without texting first.

And, obviously, in a work/professional/commercial setting it's always OK to call if they've given you their number. It feels weird, but it's OK.

Seems doubtful that you'd get the same refresh rate out of the evaluation e-Ink driver board as the Dasung products? That's a development / evaluation board intended for product development teams with actual engineers to experiment with, not a consumer or even a hobbyist product. IIRC Dasung does a lot of customization to get the performance they do out of their displays.
It's a group with no real authority. Their only option is to create reports. In some cases the Administration may act directly on them. In the majority of cases it will be a report delivered to the legislature that they will then completely ignore.

Look, an LLM is a tool to transform a string in one language into a string in another. We have a name for that: a compiler.

You could have memorized even large one if you are familiar with the full name of the Mersenne Twister PRNG: MT19937 is named so because its period is 2^19937-1 which is a prime number (in fact, the largest known one at the time of Zigler's writing). In my knowledge any larger prime number hasn't been used for the practical purpose.

Projector image quality depends on the surface you're projecting onto, the angle you're projecting at, and the light in the room. Maybe the difference is less around $3k, but that's not most people's budget for a TV. Personally I have disposable income and care about image, and spent A$1k on a TV that I'm very happy with. I don't believe there's any comparable projector for less than twice that price.
>Realistically, who is going to buy a dumb TV at a much higher cost? People who are already savvy enough to get around a smart TV?

Exactly, that's why all this "I want a dumb TV!" stuff is, well, dumb.

It doesn't cost any less for a mfgr to make a dumb TV, in fact it would cost more. Modern TVs need a lot of computing power to make them work properly, so making the thing connect to the internet and show you ads really costs them nothing for hardware. Then they get to subsidize the TV with all the ad revenue, the kickbacks from the various streaming apps pre-installed, etc. A dumb TV would end up having the exact same hardware and a higher price tag. What kind of idiot would buy that? Not enough to make it worthwhile for the mfgr. If you don't want ads, just don't connect the TV to the internet.

It's a lot like modern Windows laptops that are cheaper than the same laptop with Linux pre-installed. MS and/or the laptop mfgr get a bunch of kickbacks from the crapware vendors to pre-install their crapware, so you end up paying less than you would for having the mfgr pre-install Linux (a free OS).
This sort of thing is more useful for teaching than being an actual proof. You teach the same concept in different ways and the students can form a more solid understanding of the underlying concept independent of symbols or shapes, or at least they may understand it one way if they don't get the other ways.

You can do all sorts of factorizations the same way and handle negative areas by drawing them in a different color.

My general theory of useability is that A4 paper and 3x5 index cards were popular before computers for a reason, and one of each of those sizes as an e-ink screen is the longer-term ideal.

> not as if there's some huge cost for those camera feeds to be put online

But there is a cost. If it’s not used by 90% of voters, and its trivially use is made known to 60% of them, you have the votes to reällocate those funds.

> footage that those cameras capture already belongs to the taxpayers. They are a public record (although short lived since it doesn't look like the government is saving the footage). The taxpayers should have easy access to their own records and they should have the freedom to make use of those records

They are a public record because we make them public. And taxpayers fund plenty of non-public information collection. That you wouldn’t vote for something doesn’t make it electoral impossible (nor even not good politics).
This is nice. It's simple, functional, and free of bloat. You should build on this a bit! Maybe add a way to save and load animations to/from indexeddb, or to download them as gifs or sets of PNGs. You could also add a way to change the pen thickness and color.

> we need to be very careful when inspecting visual proofs

This is not a visual proof but a nice visualization, like a written explanation that is not a proof.

For an actual novel proof, nobody would imagine that they could eyeball it for a few minutes and conclude it was complete, correct, and consistent - maybe with the exception of professional mathematicians examining for simple proofs. You might eyeball it and follow its logic and not see any immediate flaws, but that's different.

I wonder what would happen if someone discovered an efficient algorithm for finding or predicting prime numbers or their factors. It would put the fundamentals of internet security at risk and likely much more. Has anyone ever considered a plan B for such a scenario?
Nextdns is awesome and I highly recommend it. That said, DNS level ad blocking is pretty limited but it often is enough for journalism sites like this one. You also get privacy benefits since it's quite good at blocking trackers and even bandwidth improvements since your device spends less time spewing logging requests.

I use DNS level blocking on my home network at the gateway level, but I also use AdGuard Pro on iOS for my powerful ad blocking. With this level of ad blocking you can do more than what DNS level blocking does. There's rules like "hide any element matching this selector" or "block XHR queries to this particular path". (though still not as powerful as uOrigin blocking! Which you need for big sites with anti-ad-blocking measures like YouTube or Facebook)

tl;dr; There's lots of options for iOS ad blocking and they're great for dealing with spammy sites like this one.
> Adding two words to create an address is a fun variation of segment pointers, but even more wasteful than x86 16-bit segment+offset pointers (not a complaint, just an observation)

I'm curious why you think it's wasteful?

It seems similar to the 6809 indexed addressing modes which I liked (a long time ago).
How often does it nag you to say yes, while using it as a dumb TV? are all features usable in that mode? I may need to rethink a Vizio if that's the case and not annoying.
Yes it is a metaphor not an example.

In the case of my motorcycle the authority is Honda and myself. I can control the constraints but I would never remove them.

It seems like the benefits of constraints on systems would be obvious to engineers but apparently not.
> In one case, we ran a simple a/b test as a proof of concept on whether to pursue the idea further and it added an extra million bucks a year in revenue.

I'm with the people who decided to ship this. The organization will need to fund more maintenance than they would if they waited, but that has real costs. And "keep your 1mm/revenue idea to yourself" doesn't sound like a healthy engineering culture either.
Other manufacturers manage to do it because they are not using stainless steel body panels. Stainless steel body panels are quite uncommon. I think DeLorean 40 years ago was the last to do it before Tesla. Before DeLorean I think there were only concept cars and a handful that Ford made in the 1930s that were not sold.

Tesla is using a particularly hard form of stainless steel that is especially difficult to work.

> All software included in a free ML application has to offer every user the four freedoms that define free software. This applies to both the software that processes training data, and the software that interprets model parameters as context for prompts to produce human-usable output. This is necessary but not sufficient. Additionally, given our current understanding of ML applications, we believe that we cannot say a ML application is free unless all its training data and the related scripts for processing it respect all users, following the four freedoms.

This notation doesn't require graduate-level statistics knowledge, it's more like stuff that would be covered in a first mathematical course on probability and statistics. It's totally practical to learn this stuff on your own from videos, books, and PDFs. First you need to get a solid conceptual grasp on probability distributions and their associated concepts like random variables, conditional probability, and joint probability. Then you'll be ready to learn some mathematical statistics and follow along with all the notation.

Note that you don't need to go deep into measure-theoretic probability or any of that stuff that requires more advanced prior education in math.
I don't recommend overpriced SaaS solutions; I highlight that there is a lesson to be learned on why they're so popular, and open-source tech could be as simple as them.

That's why I started Universql in the first place; use their interface/protocol as an open-source tech and reduce the compute cost (often ~90% of the total cost of DWHs) by using DuckDB. You still get all the catalog features without paying the premium price.
Other mfgs probably check the requirements before building their vehicles, unlike Tesla who seems to say "fuck it" and barge ahead. When someone calls them on it, they say "fuck you". Eventually, someone official says "No, sir. Fuck YOU!"

Tesla then either waits or throws tantrums until someone official just says "Fuck it."

My household did homeschooling for several years. My observation is that parents do homeschooling for either political or functional reasons. Examples of functional reasons include fighting illiteracy, disability concerns, raising test scores, curriculum acceleration. Political reasons include social conditions, religious motivations, and just about anything to do with disagreement of content.

I suspect households motivated by functional concerns will be far less likely, if at all, to introduce any access to AI and households motivated by political concerns will introduce access to AI at any age but only if they agree with the content or bias of the AI.
> Sorry that you don't agree that the enforcement of laws is not authoritarianism

I never said this. Still, you can trivially pass authoritarian laws in an otherwise liberal society.

> The vast majority of people who have lived in liberal societies for ages

Only about 230 years, but sure.

> unfortunately believe that enforcing the laws that are made by either direct democracy or through their democratically elected institutions is good and just and I expect that will continue for a long while.

Sure, that doesn't make this not authoritarian. Sometimes people are just sick, scared, lonely people that are incapable of considering the impact of their actions. That's (collective) america to a T. If you knowingly sell someone snake oil you can't be shocked when they buy it.

Check out this deep learning stuff people talk about. Torch is written in C++ using plenty CUDA (which is arguably a dialect of C++), and deals with all the resource management and hardware interfacing. People use python then interfacing with it.

I don’t particular like how torch is designed and written, but that’s a different story. TensorFlow is c++ as well, in case you wondered.

But maybe that all does not match your requirements for system programming? Try Haiku, at least back when it was BeOS I really liked that the whole OS was written in C++. I have a colleague who wrote some microcontroller code in C++ because he likes it so much and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that either.

Not to mention that all content providers (ie Netflix) are doing exactly the same.

I actually didn't know that. I'm in the space as a hobbyist and I had a vague understanding that tensor cores are essential for reaching peak performance, but can only work for certain operations like dense matrix-matrix multiplication. It was on my list to investigate whether they could be used to further improve single-batch decoding - makes sense that they don't help when it's all matrix-vector.
