My recent example for where its helpful.

Pretty nice at autocomplete. Like writing json tags in go structs. Can just autocomplete that's stuff for me no problem, it saved me seconds per line, seconds I tell you.

It's stupid as well... Autofilled a function, looks correct. Reread it 10 minutes later and well... Minor mistake that would have caused a crash at runtime. It looked correct but in reality it just didn't have enough context ( the context is in an external doc on my second screen ... ) and there was no way it would ever have guessed the correct code.

It took me longer to figure out why the code looked wrong than if I had just typed it myself.

Did it speed up my workflow on code I could have given a junior to write? Not really, but some parts were quicker while other were slower.

And imagine if that code bad crashed in production next week instead of right now while the whole context is still in my head. Maybe that would be hours of debugging time...

Maybe as parent said, for a domain where you are braking new ground, it can generate some interesting ideas you wouldn't have thought about. Like a stupid pair that can get you out if a local manima but in general doesn't help much it can be a significant help.

But then again you could do what has been done for decades and speak to another human about the problem, at least they may have signed the same NDA as you...
That's hardly a SoCal phenomenon, sadly. In all the places I've lived, "protect and serve" seems to be abbreviated - "protect and serve our desk jobs and pensions" would be more accurate. If the TSA is security theater, the police are a circus, and the occasional show of force is them coming to town.

It's like those pictures of Luigi Mangione being perp walked in Manhattan with 20 cops and FBI agents behind him. Imagine if those officers were on the beat or enforcing traffic laws instead. That would make more of a difference in our communities than a photo op ever will.
I grew up with it, so I actually prefer Diet Coke over regular Coke at this point. I don't remember the last time I just had a can of regular sugary soda...it's been awhile.

That said, I will acknowledge that the relatively-consequence-free nature of Diet Coke makes it a lot more addictive to me. It's much easier for me to drink Diet Coke every day, and lots of it, because I know that the likelihood of me actually facing a short-term consequence from it is relatively small.

At least now, I've transitioned away from the caffeine, so the only thing I really need to worry about is the sweeteners, which seem to be "mostly harmless" from the research I've done, so maybe I don't need to go any further.
OT: FWIW I think "Anthropic in Advanced Talks to Raise $2B, Valuing It at $60B" makes for a better headline and is basically a shorter version of the first line of the article. It's a pretty factual edit so I don't think it qualifies as editorializing.
Much like Facebook and Twitter spy on American citizens for the Federal government.
Why even use a floating point if you have only 4 bits? Models with INT8 features are not unheard of.
I for one don't like the DLSS/TAA look at all. Between the lack of sharpness, motion blur and ghosting, I don't understand how people can look at that and consider it an upgrade. Let's not even get into the horror that is frame generation. They're a graphics downgrade that gives me a headache and I turn the likes of TAA and DLSS off in every game I can. I'm far from alone in this.

So why should we consider to buy a GPU at twice the price when it has barely improved rasterization performance? An artificially generation-locked feature anyone with good vision/perception despises isn't going to win us over.
Do they still mandate using your legal name? That's the biggest no-go for me. It's just awful opsec.
Agreed. Type systems are nearly always "temporal" yet are too simply designed to address that.

"Temporal" to mean that at any given slice of time during a running application all objects have a signature that matches a type.

Yet most programming languages only allow compile-time analysis and "runtime" is treated as monolithic "we can't know at this point anything about types"
nothing to do with RFK I was just piggybacking on the other comment mentioning him to further paint the original picture: history repeating itself, future culture trying to understand past culture by limited speculation, and future culture (being the present culture) that will eventually be the past culture and every present culture tends to think they understand things better than they actually do, so it’s fun to think of us talking about Rome and lead in water, and future culture talking about us and Fluoride in water, regardless of how accurate any of it is or related to “empire collapse”, funny to imagine there was someone back then saying claims about lead being possibly harmful are biased, whatever the personal motive was (ie, not wanting to believe they let their kids drink dangerous lead pipe water so they go out of their way to tell others that claims of lead being suspected to be dangerous are biased, which is itself a bias)
Surprisingly, Facebook has 2.1 billion daily active users. I primarily use the app for its Marketplace feature as an alternative to Craigslist.
That's a housing problem. California is very NIMBY and doesn't build enough homes.

That has nothing to do with how 'objective' fact checking or content review or whatever is from people in both places.

This is just very thinly coded language signalling who they're going to favor.
Going back even further, one of the initial draws of Instagram pre-acquisition was that you could escape the toxicity of trolls and other socially unproductive behavior on Facebook.

Meta has a big problem coming up. They'll get to the point where they won't be able to hide Facebook and Instagram's lackluster appeal. I suspect we'll start seeing advertisers peel away, followed by a few savvy investors first. Let's just hope this doesn't trigger a market-wide correction.
I've hit lag quite a few times with Hogwart's Legacy. Dropping the graphics quality down helps but even at the point it looks like shit it often still stutters, especially during complex combat situations (the point at which stuttering is least tolerable).

I love the Steam Deck and they do a really, truly great job at tuning profiles of most games to run well, but the most demanding AAA games do sometimes hit a perf ceiling.

If you're curious about the details and you haven't seen it before, you can enable metrics/stats in settins and see a screen overlay of your performance. As someone who frequently keeps htop open on my laptop while working, I appreciate this feature :-)
Why are transformers a better fit for frame generation. Is it because they can better utilize context from the previous history of frames ?
I expect it was an easy bone to throw the incoming administration, which the tech world learned from v1 is placatable by giving them PR / sound bite wins.

To the broader concern, this feels like Facebook making their original sin again.

Namely defunding and destroying revenue for a task that takes money (fact checking) and then expecting a free, community-driven approach to replace it.

Turns out, hot takes for clicks are a lot cheaper than journalism.

In this case, where is the funding to support nuanced, accurate fact checking at scale from?

Because it sure seems like Facebook isn't going to pay.

Yes, I know it is, I'm saying his argument is silly. Would you prefer 'disingenuous' or 'irrelevant' or 'meaningless'?
Fact-checking and censorship are two very different things.

Yeah.. Exacly this. I recently started to look for monitor, and dug up site with DPI etc. That high DPI monitors annoys me a lot, its actually very hard to get anything w/ Pixel Size larger than 300um. Smaller pixel put a lot of strain on my old eyes... And upscaling really suxx.. unless you do 200% with means you need to buy expensive gear like 150um pixel size.. and upscale x2...
This is super spot on.

The biggest limitation I have observed with poorly managed ADHD is short-term memory management. Everything else might be a more obvious social indicator, but nothing impairs real world performance like forgetting things in the short term. It means things get lost, tasks remain unfulfilled, instructions get jumbled.

If through regular practice you can teach an ADHD child to improve this everything else gets better as well. You aren't going to fix the brain of a child with ADHD but you can teach solution management and coping strategies through repetition. Its the same with dyslexia in that you aren't curing the dyslexia but instead teaching how to circumvent it.

ADHD can be a super power. Focusing on multiple things simultaneously is really draining, but people with ADHD tend to perform this well so long as they can remain consistently engaged. That is a fantastic capability for operations jobs.
It's good to know can all heat our bedrooms while mining shitcoins.
It seems like this would do OK for open areas with a few simple obstructions. I'm not sure how it would do if there were complex obstructions. For instance, it's unclear how it would work if you were trying to pathfind through a maze.
> The Stanford doctor was banned from X because he posted peer-reviewed papers that challenging the effectiveness of masks (or vaccines)? I certainly don't want to see that level of hysteria.

Not familiar with that specific case, though generally I'm not a fan a bans. Fact checks are great though. There have been peer reviewed papers about midi-chlorians too (https://www.irishnews.com/magazine/science/2017/07/24/news/a...), but I'd sure hope that if someone brought it up in a discussion they'd be fact checked.
No, not necessary, just (currently) Constitutionally mandated. Those are not the same thing.

Deleting isn't fact-checking. Whereas "community noting" actually can make a case for being fact-checking.
This looks like a bigger brother of Orin AGX, which has 64GB of RAM and runs smaller LLMs. The question will be power and performance vs 5090. We know price is 1.5x
> Don’t forget, we basically protect Canada. But here’s the problem with Canada. So many friends up there, I love the Canadian people. They’re great, but we’re spending hundreds of billions a year to protect it. We’re spending hundreds of billions a year to take care of Canada. We lose in trade deficits.

Trump is engaging in some light trolling here. He's going off script and just saying whatever comes across his mind. His overall goal is to lay out grievances and trying to upsell their severity. The end goal is, and always is, to make some kind of "deal". He's a Karen, trying to talk to the manager.

People shouldn't take his threats literally - but you should take them seriously. I don't think the threat is that the US invades Greenland, but that the US uses it as an excuse to try to sour relations with Europe.

Same thing with Panama and renaming the gulf thing. I don't think the US would take over Panama (again). But there is probably going to be a massive effort to get China to stop trading with Cuba and Venezuela.
Primarily concerned about the memory bandwidth for training.

Though I think I've been able to max out my M2 when using the MacBook's integrated memory with MLX, so maybe that won't be an issue.

The blog-poster is talking about long-term trends, so it doesn't matter if early-adopters skip on security, the time-horizon is long enough that the consequences will matter.

If we stop and carefully look at our world, security (safety against malicious peers) is an iceberg taken for granted. One might start by summing up the militaries of every country on earth. Add the budgets of most police departments, and a good chunk of the justice system. The energy, material, and labor poured into most weapons, fences, doors, and locks. The CPU cycles used in all encryption, and most of the hashing.

P.S.: "Investors, friends, I am pleased to announce that our bold and powerful new business-model which will completely disrupt the entire retail sector, worldwide, and change society forever.

Great comment btw.
I wonder if they will start putting lithium batteries in desktops so they can draw higher peak power.
You can. It's called therapy.
But also a convenient excuse to sell more ramm and disk space 'for the textures'.
The company Perfect Day has a bio-reactor service that produces whey protein without the need for dairy cows. They've partnered with a couple of different companies to bring different vegan milk/ice cream products to market. It doesn't use stem cells though, I believe they bio-engineered fungal microbiota to create the process.

I’m agreeing with you.

Twitter used to have a problem with retaliation if you dared talk back or correct the “wrong person” (mass reporting, suspending, taking down anyone who bruises an influencers massive ego - which still works unfortunately and is still a problem under Musk. But CN made sure this wouldn’t happen to you for telling the truth.)

Or a minor nitpicking comment or correction becomes a flame war and now someone’s digging up your high school year book photo or your DUI mugshot from 20 years ago. (Root cause being, again, twitters retaliatory culture) CN just kinda stops people from shooting the messenger.

And sometimes the messenger sucks but still has a point.

CN is a twitter-specific solution to Twitter-specific problems.

It would have also been good if they’d stop suspending people with no human review just because an influencers army of flying monkeys reported them. It “only” takes about 50 and then you’re done forever and all appeals denied. This is one of several reasons I don’t use Twitter, none of which are political or about it’s supposed “owner.”

You can’t block these guys, god forbid you reply to one- no thanks
Step 1. Don't mislead or make promises you can't keep to investors because you're basically "married" to them.

It sounds like someone wanted to have it both ways after signing a convertible note with a promise that it would convert but instead decided they wanted to keep it as a loan. Uncool if true. Don't make speculative predictions or make promises you can't keep.
It's still Chrome
I'm really giving Bluesky a shot and I want it to succeed, but it really needs to be something more than a stronghold for the left. Maybe I've been put into some bubble already, but the vast majority of posts there are political. Some of the people there as rabid as their right-wing counterparts are on X.

I find it really hard to find posts that are not people raging/venting about Trump, Musk, some other right wing billionaires or left-wing cause. X is, ironically, more diverse on this front.
It’s kind of how I feel about rent too. Instead of paywalling this $7k/mo apartment maybe just tax everyone a fair amount?

What banking system doesn't do this?

Ones with steps in between don't count.
I think its a bit reductive to describe them as "arbitrary". But I think more importantly, a lot of this jockeying is exactly what's described in the article. Leftists oppose globalism for good reasons based in their ideology, rightist oppose globalism for good reasons based in their ideology, but each side assumes that the other is holding similar views disingenuously.

There's actual nuance if you care to look for it. Really interrogate your perspective that free speech went from left to right, for instance (its the least likely of the bunch to drive a flame war from either side, so that's why I'm picking on it).

Is it the case that leftist don't want people to say what they believe in the public square? Or are they instead concerned about how social media enables highly targeted disinformation campaigns, because its much much easier to flood a person's feed with dozens of seemingly-unique-and-distinct voices pushing the intended narrative? Similarly, are rightist voices actually concerned about the deafening impact of widespread disinformation campaigns on social media? Or just at being muzzled?
It seems the dumb interpretation of the movie is spreading faster than the correct and literal one.
No, I meant to say Facebook fact-check.
Does android actually support USB CD drives?
I've never owned an iphone (and have no intention of ever doing so) so I can't speak from direct experience, but I would heavily bet that a far easier path would be to use the Steam Link iOS app to connect remotely to your gaming rig (and to be clear, a Steam Deck works just fine as a gaming rig if you don't have a bigger PC you'd prefer to use). If you're on the same LAN, performance is good enough that you may not even notice it's not running locally.
cool! AI Agents are rapidly growing and everyone is just talking about it.

Not only are delivery vehicles levied an additional toll of up to $32.40 under congestion pricing, but every employee, service provider and vendor who travels by car is also assessed the fee.
> I don't get why this thread is getting so long or so abstract

Activists use abstraction to attempt to overcome settled understandings and norms. Of course there is a distinction between action and inaction—as you recognize it’s even a legally significant distinction. The very existence of that norm is the reason anyone would say “inaction is really a form of action.”

It’s like how the notion of “antiracism” is an effort to reframe race neutrality as a form of racism.

It's announced, and the name is fine, so it'll stick :)
You can always just "Saved to home screen" from Chrome on mobile, and then create a shortcut folder with your collection of "web" apps. I've been doing this for the past couple years for a few local restaurants that use Square for direct online ordering, in order to shortcut the link to their ordering site.
Nvidia wants you to buy their datacenter or professional cards for AI. Those often come with better perf/W targets, more VRAM, and better form factors allowing for a higher compute density.

For consumers, they do not care.

PCIe Gen 4 dictates a tighter tolerance on signalling to achieve a faster bus speed, and it took quite a good amount of time for good quality Gen 4 risers to come to market. I have zero doubt in my mind that Gen 5 steps that up even further making the product design just that much harder.
There's a company doing that for stovetops, which I found really interesting (https://www.impulselabs.com)!

I think the root of the problem is lack of bidirectional signalling means you have to manually configure for capabilities on both sides (which actually already happens for DTS/Dolbly over SPDIF, so it wouldn't have been the end of the world...). Lack of bidirectional signalling also precludes content protection that's more effective than setting a "don't pirate" flag, which might be the real reason.
It looks like the new cards are NO FASTER than the old cards. So they are hyping the fake frames, fake pixels, fake AI rendering. Anything fake = good, anything real = bad.

This is the same thing they did with the RTX 4000 series. More fake frames, less GPU horsepower, "Moore's Law is Dead", Jensen wrings his hands, "Nothing I can do! Moore's Law is Dead!" which is how Intel has been slacking since 2013.
I count on Trump doing what's best for big businesses that have his ear.

I fully expect tax cuts and environmental fuckery... but I also expect anti-competitive big business cartels to have a freer reign when Lina Khan is no longer FTC chair.
Email is ostensibly a decentralized system. But in its real-world use, it is centralized both at the application layer and at the protocol layer.

At the application layer, email clients (like the Gmail or iOS email app) are typically bundled with a reliance on centralized email hosting (running the mail server) and relying on their centrally-controlled name (@gmail.com, @icloud.com, etc.). This in turn gives the app developers significant leverage against the protocol layer, since they completely control how their users (through their app) interact with the protocol layer.

At the protocol layer, email relies heavily on a de facto reputation system, since any valuable and truly decentralized and permissionless system will have an abundance of spam. The reputation system is used to filter spam and isolate bad actors. This is why running a home email server is not really what this is about: it's about who you need to rely on to have your emails delivered.

The challenge isn't designing a protocol without reliance on any single actor. What's difficult is designing a protocol that can avoid becoming de facto centralized when critical features (like spam prevention, registration, etc.) need to be filled in by agents outside of the protocol.

The crypto people recognize this and that's why they want to build the economics explicitly into their protocols (a critically important part of any protocol; all protocols without exception have economic components whether one recognizes this or not). This is also why they emphasize global consensus and more.

Hacker News and others hate blockchains because they see the scams (which happen in all permissionless systems, and they are even more obvious when the financial components nakedly visible). Yet HN laments when the properties of decentralization that they love and value are lost for seemingly mysterious reasons ("dead internet theory", "enshittification"). The truth is that the reasons are right in front of us.
