So, two things.

First, nobody is seriously proposing to outlaw or eliminate livestock honey bees. They're too valuable for agricultural service. Of course, thinking about what is good or not good for commercial bee colonies is a lot like thinking about what's good or not good for battery-farmed pigs; in fact: what's "good" in our natural ecology for livestock pigs has turned out to be a calamity across North America as feral pigs multiply uncontrollably. Either way: the bees aren't going anywhere. New stressors of bee colonies will simply raise costs for beekeepers.

Second, the idea that the extinction of feral honey bees would be "devastating" is directly falsifiable, because they have been eradicated from North America, in the recent past. The world did not end; in fact: you didn't even notice.

What you want to be paying attention to are our diverse native pollinators, including a variety of native bees. If you want to help our insect ecology, get some mason bee tubes. Unless you really like fresh honey, don't bother with the honey bees.

Shouldn't affiliates sue the merchants for allowing the steal? The merchants surely must notice how often Honey steals the referrals and they benefit likely by laying less in referral fees. So this is collusion by merchant and Honey against the affiliate.
No, they don’t - they don’t have the hardware, yet. But they do parrot sensory output to eg muscles that induce the expected video sensory inputs in response, in a way that mimics the video input of “other people doing things”.

why not try milvus? you get multiple index types, SIMD based brute force search, IVF, HNSW and DiskANN and you never bother to scale
I can see that.

On most metrics I've seen Rust is comparable on general speed.

Maybe if you're at the level where you've essentially writing portable assembly and are okay with lack of safety. You need to know exactly what is happening within the CPU, maybe on custom hardware.

I bet some defense applications would be in this category too, although for my own sense of self preservation I would prefer the Rust type system.

If the increased productivity from wage increases offset the price, why would you need the price control in the first place? You could start a business and have a competitive edge by offering low-skilled workers relatively high wages.
> The coils in the deflection yoke are run at 24-100V.

They aren't the kV scale killer voltages, no. My memory was closer to 200, but sure. That's still "high voltage" for magnet wire, and a short will rapidly destroy the coil. I've had three different monitors go to that kind of failure. One day you turn them on and... nope.
No, humans have autonomy.

Actually I have. My current (DCP 1610-W) is better than the average but it still drops its network connection, or gets upset during a print, or stops talking to the Android app. Fine, but hardly excellent.
I can totally understand an animal associating some of the sounds that it has heard in its lifetime, perhaps even a "name" for itself. There may also be possibilities for some animal populations e.g. crows if enough generations have passed with common sounds, to mean different things, especially when those things were encountered enough times during the lifetimes of them. So that could build to some kind of "for the birds of this region, this sound/combination may represent something specific".

Same for dogs and so on.

There may also be some kind of more subtle genetics/morphology based distinctions, beyond the obvious "snarl for most dogs means afraid, angry, aggressive, possessive, or in pain"...

But... it seems that the collapse of tower of babel happens very frequently for non-humans, so unsure how "useful" an AI training may be for the majority of the cases.
cppreference.com is very, very good at being reference, as in the name.

Python's documentation is scattershot and incomplete in many places, and lacks a consistent copy-editing style - but it offers good coverage of all kinds of documentation (per the Diataxis framework), not just reference. The people writing that documentation explicitly take that framework into consideration and use it to look for ways to improve. (But it's still a volunteer effort that works basically the same way the code development does, following open-source principles, so.)
In a world where people gravitate to LLMs for quick answers instead of wading through ads and whatnot, it seems like you would want an LLM to site your content for further context. If the user just wanted an answer, they probably wouldn't have spent much time on your site.

Interesting, former Australian PM Malcolm Turnbull suggests Australia will never actually receive a single Virginia class sub. His reasoning is they're absolutely crucial to US defence needs, they take an extremely long time to build, and US doctrine won't allow sales to foreign countries unless US military needs are satisfied, which, for Virginia class subs, they aren't and are unlikely to be for decades.
To be quite honest I don't think there are many museums that would want that CRT. CRTs are notoriously a massive pain in the ass. Retro computing museums and the like have their CRTs, but they don't really have the space for it.

It probably does make sense in the house of a massive hoarder.
This is not true. CNNs perform 2D convolution, conceptually "sliding" a 2 dimensional kernel with learnable weights over the input image across two dimensions.

Perhaps it wasn't a convolutional network after all, but a simple fully-connected feed-forward network taking all pixels as input? Could be viable for a toy example (MNIST).

Respectfully disagree. I feel like quality and selection at most Nordstroms I’ve been to recently has been much worse. Salespeople have been less knowledgeable and more pushy. Feels like they’ve moved from upmarket into a space more easily replaced by lower cost online competitors.
sure but as you well know classifying sentiment analysis is a BERT-scale problem, not really an SAE problem. burden of proof is on you that "read features out and train classifiers on them" is superior to "GOFAI".

What inherent TOCTOU vulnerability exists with process groups? Process groups are the way to shoot down a collection of processes atomically in Unix. getpgrp returns the current processes' process group, and killpg(pgrp) sends a signal atomically; so long as the process doesn't switch process groups between those two calls (and using normal APIs only the process can do this itself), there's no race. (IOW, there's no race in `killpg(getpgrp(), signo)`) There are other ways, too, like using SIGHUP delivered when a controlling TTY is closed (not strictly POSIX, but reliable semantics across all the major extant Unix-like systems).

cgroups also allows killing a group of processes race-free, but Linux only got this feature (cgroup.kill) in 2021.[1] Before then even systemd would just walk the cgroup PID list and send a signal to each individual process, which was inherently racy. If this was done from PID 1--init--this could maybe be done correctly by ensuring zombie's weren't reaped--preventing PID recycling--while walking the PID list. OTOH, Linux supports a prctl, PR_SET_CHILD_SUBREAPER, to change a reaper, so perhaps even systemd could never guaranteed to not accidentally shoot down an innocent process.

Is Rust not meant to offer the same kind of control and "low-level-ness" as C? Like, can't you cast integers to pointer explicitly if you break the `unsafe` seal (and thereby e.g. do memory-mapped IO to control hardware)?

> I’m responding to this comment, where I think it’s clear that an LLM can’t event achieve the goal the poster would like.

I know it can't - the one thing it's missing is the ability to generate coherent and correct (and not ugly) domain-specific illustrations and diagrams to accompany the text. But that's not a big deal, it just means I need to add some txt2img and img2img models, and perhaps some old-school computer vision and image processing algos. They're all there at my fingertips too, the hardest thing about this is finding the right ComfyUI blocks to use and wiring them correctly.

Nothing in the universe says an LLM has to do the whole job zero-shot, end-to-end, in a single interaction.

> I wouldn’t but a lawyer actually went to court with arguments literally written by a machine without verification.

And surely a doctor somewhere tried to heal someone with whatever was on the first WebMD page returned by Google. There are always going to be lazy lawyers doctors doing stupid things; laziness is natural for humans. It's not a valid argument against tools that aren't 100% reliable and idiot-proof; it's an argument for professional licensure.

Though I don't think anyone would have wanted it, I think there's a bit of a false dichotomy there. Maybe in theory there would have been a place for this in a curated space in Japan... if not for it being so massive at least.

Ultimately if it was a TV designed in Japan, having it on display at a local tech museum would be nice. I just don't know where it would go that could deal with the space and the weight.

Closest thing I could think of is the NTT museum, which is ginormous... but it's mostly about NTT's stuff. "Some other company in Japan made big TVs" is a bit less interesting than, say, some older tabulation machines they have there.
Sample-and-hold causes smearing when your eyes track an image that is moving across the screen. That doesn't happen in the real world: if you follow an object with your eyes it is seen sharply.

With strobing, moving objects still remain sharp when tracked.
The author mocks comparative advantage as an argument for free trade, suggesting it doesn’t work. They specifically point out it was supposed to let the other countries do the low-skilled work while America focused on high-skilled stuff and imply it didn’t happen… though it didn’t happen… didn’t it? America stopped creating lumps of steel and coffee tables and instead became a hub for cutting-edge software, media, and financial services… am I missing something or did comparative advantage not work exactly as it was supposed to? There were problems with this transition (when is there ever a transition in which there isn’t), but the country is wealthier and leads the world in several areas of the global economy.

The wider article focuses on trade deficits and almost assumes they are inherently bad. Though, honestly, are they? Essentially, America gets away with giving smaller amounts of its output to other countries than these countries give America. If someone gives me $2 worth of goods for every $1 worth of goods I give them, I’m not complaining. Why should America?

It’s also not like this is a new thing. America has run a trade deficit every single year since 1975 (and plenty of years prior to 1975 were deficit years). Now isn’t even the highest it’s been; the highest was in 2005. Taking the last 20 years as a timetable, the deficit is pretty normal right now.

Also, do people actually look up what the deficit is? Because it’s 3.77% of GDP. The way people talk about it, you’d think it was in the 10s of percentage points, but it’s not… it’s honestly pretty minor.

>Isn't motion blur the best workaround to mitigate this problem?

Motion blur in real life reacts to eye movement. When you watch a smoothly moving object, your eye accurately tracks it ("smooth pursuit") so that the image of that object is stationary on your retina, eliminating motion blur. If there are multiple objects moving in different directions you can only track one of them. You can choose where you want the motion blur just by focusing your attention. If you bake the motion blur into the video you loose this ability.

I worked with c++ for many years and it has lots of warts. Slow compilation, lack of decent build system (no cmake isn't that great), mistakes made in the standard library (iostreams), weak cross platform standard libraries were always a headache.
But I always loved the power that <algorithm> and the like provides, although attaching allocators (and other template things) kind of sucks.

When I looked at and test drove rust all I saw was heaps of complexity stacked up yet again. Probably didn't help that I smacked headlong into the Arc Mutex and lifetimes mess. I'm really more inclined to go for something like 'zig' which does so much with simple syntax (and awesome comptime) and still gets excellent performance.

1. I'm aware. We'll see how they adjust to climate change, but all this was mostly a theoretical to emphasize how important their duties are. Despite the name they aren't just there to make sure our foods are sweet so I wanted to point that out. We'd have better luck going back to trying to eliminate mosquitoes over trying to eradicate honeybees.

I didn't "notice" because people who are experienced in this field went out of their way to correct this. I'll just say that I'm not a huge fan of this narrative "it isn't affecting my everyday so it clearly doesn't matter". That's how so many things slip down to a slope of "we'll fix it when it's too late".

>What you want to be paying attention to are our diverse native pollinators, including a variety of native bees

And you don't think a massive reduction of any one pollinator would have drastic effects just because you care about this "native" aspect? Again, these bees have been here for over 400 years. Where's the line?

I'll be honest and just say you're making a mountain out of a molehill here. I just wanted to pitch in that honeybees are important to the ecosystem and you're reacting as if I'm saying only honeybees matter. You as someone who understands the basics of such pollinators weren't necessarily my audience here. Those who think that bees just make honey and are a "luxury species because we don't need honey" were. And I hope that point got across to that audience.

Yeah, I'm more worried about some random GoogleFlag locking me out of my account than anything else. That being said, unlike most of the public I know a couple of Googlers personally, but it's a shame that I'd even need to be lucky like that.
I know it's not the same, but in many areas we have this "follow the arrows" system in many guidelines.
For some examples, see the EULAR guidelines with it's fluxograms for treatments and also AO Surgery Reference with a graphical approach to select treatments based on fracture pattern, avaliable materials and skill set.

I think that's a logical and necessary step to join medical reasoning and computer helpers, we need easier access to new information and more importantly to present clinical relevant facts from the literature in a way that helps actual patient care decision making.

I'm just not too sure we can have generic approaches to all specialties, but it’s nice seeing efforts in this area.

A practical thing about costs is likely shipping. There aren't many consumer products that would be more costly to move around, so you're looking at something as messy as a fridge to sell at the high end.

Martin Fowler's company is named "Thoughtworks". I guess he's trying to control the way we think about stuff?
Yes, but not necessarily more so than at the thought of a machine gun in the hands of a human being.
The fundamental idea here is that doctors find it difficult to ensure that their recommendations are actually up-to-date with the latest clinical research.

Further, that by virtue of being at the centre of action in research, doctors in prestige medical centres have an advantage that could be available to all doctors. It's a pretty important point, sometimes referred to as the dissemination of knowledge problem.

Currently, this is best approached by publishing systematic reviews according to the Cochrane Criteria [0]. Such reviews are quite labour-intensive and done all too rarely, but are very valuable when done.

One aspect of such reviews, when done, is how often they discard published studies for reasons such as bias, incomplete datasets, and so forth.

The approach described by Geiger in the link is commendable for its intentions but the outcome will be faced with the same problem that manual systematic reviews face.

I wonder if the author considered included rules-based approaches (e.g. Cochrane guidelines) in addition to machine learning approaches?

There are easier ways to do this from the beginning of your loan, like making sure you put 20% down and paying higher closing costs. If you tell your lenders that you refuse to pay PMI my experience has been that one of them will make it work.
I mean, this is all anecdotal, but I've only ran into the most vexing parse a few times, I rarely had to use the pimpl idiom, and the header file stuff... okay that isn't great. I've been a c++ dev for 10 years and I actually worked on an extremely old codebase and was involved in modernizing it is to C++11. Maybe I'm too C++ brained, but all those things just aren't that bad? There is no wartless language and you just deal with the warts of the language you're in and it's your responsibility to learn the details of the language.
I also think there is utility in reading the stories alone, kind of like virtual job shadowing...
That’s not the point. And the 1k req/s is a made up number in this case. The point is that SQLite is a single process or at best a single process group if you implement locking. It’s not about performance. I wouldn’t be surprised if SQLite is faster for writes than Postgres, being simpler. The point is that one is a really good bicycle and another is a really good all terrain truck. Both have uses and for a certain type of getting from A to B there is overlap in their utility but they have different use cases.
