Edit: on closer inspection this is actually pretty polished set of prefabed UI/interactions fit for spatial AR needs more than something hacked out overnight (see html23.com which is nice but just a slice of this project) so will need to drop in some glb files and play with it a bit to compare it with say a ShapesXR or Spline or Bezi etc but like what I see so far !!!
Possible but risky in an interview. Some people are really unreasonable.
I'll mea culpa: I try pretty hard to not backseat campaign manage. My defense is I was posting after midnight and wine and I'm trying to find a balance between not suffering right wing talking points and offering olive branches. I do agree we should celebrate the kind of courage Cheney showed, especially given the kinds of threats she's experienced since.
Can you blame it?

I tend to think of any substantial writing we do at work as an essay. Proposal, summary, RFC, employee evaluation, whatever. You can tell who writes well, and who is copy/pasting plausibly relevant text into an unedited draft that they then pass off as the final result. Not AI, just sloppy writing. I don't have numbers to back it, but I think that the good writing gets more done in less time. So, people care if you're good at writing essays.

Then there's the whole "clear writing is clear thinking" angle, but I suspect that people who write poorly do so out of laziness rather than any deficiency.
I wish we had more / more easily accessible networks that let you do this.

Something that would let you send extremely tiny (<1kB) packets, using a wireless protocol that could be implemented extremely cheaply, piggybacking on the bandwidth of nearby internet-connected devices in a privacy-preserving way.

Amazon has a network like this called Sidewalk, using Alexa devices as gateways, but I don't think it's very open to third-party experimentation, and it's definitely not an interoperable standard on the gateway side.
It's over because there will be no supremacy.

Cheque use in the UK is now around two per year per person. (This includes business-to-business cheques.)

The over-65 age group is most likely to use them, and least likely to use an app, so you can see why it wasn't a big priority for most banks.

It's been at least 15 years since the banks stopped giving account holders chequebooks by default. If you want one you have to ask.
Strange comes with the territory, though.

The requirements were way stranger and quirky than the solution, and wouldn’t really lead to any production-ready code…

Lots of comments complaining about the code completely glossed over the requirements.

"You can't see who's got recurring subscriptions on your account. You can't trivially cancel or block someone from pulling money from your account"

This is because any company that has the potential for creating recurring subscriptions can do so to anyone at any time with nothing but an account number.

There is no pre-verification of authorization whatsoever. The only thing you can do is continuously monitor your bank statements and dispute the charges when you see something turn up, then hope for the best.

This system is croocked by design. Most people can't even believe it is this way , but presentations by budding fintech to small companies tout this 'feature' as the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Well... GUI automation is not automation. It can't be. Automation must be automateable, code is, since you can save in a text file, versioned etc. GUIs can't. Reproducing them means doing countless step every time, hard to document with screenshots etc instead of "here the snippet" and Python code is self-documented, so discovering how to do things is MUCH easier, YAML need to be read from source code, not just importing a module and run help(modname). That's why to me HA should be pure-python NOT "sold" as a pre-deployed blackbox but as a simple pip-able package. Anyone could easily integrate it in anything else, documenting could be just the code for most simple stuff or a wiki with shared personal configs. Those can be automated as well to test it's validity pinging the author when a snippet fails as well.

That's the power of automation, of code, of end-users programming. Harnessing it means reduce all efforts after the first implementation and speed up anything breaking changes as well.

I desperately hope their CEO bumps into the right person at a convention and they end up branching out to producing chassis for emergency vehicles.
The Chinese market is very competitive though with lots of quite successful companies that only got into EVs fairly recently. For example Huawei and Xiaomi (two phone manufacturers) started selling EVs last year and were able to ramp up production quite quickly. Apparently the cars are quite nice even and they sell well.

It's not net zero because you collect all the interest on money you didn't have to begin with and created out of thin air via an accounting trick.

Now obviously the liability will get zeroed out in the end, but in the meantime you get to keep all that accumulated sweet interest for ... uh... "managing risk"... it's a very beautiful thing!

So you have in fact created money out thin air, it's in the interest payments! You pay interest for basically "nothing!" (cough, cough, "managing risk"). And that interest does not get zeroed out! It's "pure" profit from an accounting trick.

> Also, what’s with the weird UUIDs? Why not use UUIDv7 if you want time-ordered UUIDs?

It looks like the rationale for the Tou library is that some systems do not accept unfamiliar UUID variants as UUIDs, so a time-ordered ID that looks like a UUIDv4 is safer for some legacy systems than a (newer, and less likely recognized) UUIDv7.
Depends how old. Anything before mid 90s was trivial to steal with little or no equipment.
That doesn’t address anything. It only leads to the generation of a single line of arguments stacked against each other, but does nothing on accountability, observability, and is just as enigmatic and intransparent to laypeople. You’re describing a dystopia of complex technology that only a very small elite will be able to control.
This looks really impressive well done on creating the editor.
You've explained it three times to me - in the initial post, on the website and here in the comments but I've still had trouble fully grasping the solution fully.

Correct me if I'm wrong but is this essentially a really simple to use abstraction over the common tools used to create mixed-reality environments? Just import your assets and pick from some common interaction methods to test stuff your more quickly? If so, this looks really great.

> Guessing this is legacy stuff that long predated that.

I’m guessing its not, since the tou library seems to be 8 months old and mentions avoiding the need for extensions if you are using it with Postgres as an advantage over using UUIDv7.

To be charged with a crime signals the beginning of a trial, a conviction signals the conclusion of a trial with a guilty verdict.

From an archived DoJ page[1] at the year 3 (January 2024) mark, ~1200 defendants were charged and 171 were convicted (32 without a trial). 749 were sentenced in total.

So that's presumably still more than several hundred defendants waiting for what should be a speedy trial.

Again, that is not how we should operate in this country. If you accuse (charge) someone of a crime their trial should be brought as swiftly as possible as mandated by the Constitution. That this was not done is by itself enough cause to pardon them, let alone the exaggeration of the charges presented.

Also, to close things out:

>The 'back the blue' and 'tough on crime' party is a total farce.

Trump and Republicans enjoyed and continue to enjoy the approval and cooperation of law enforcement agencies across the country both before and after the pardons were issued.

> Convolution

Nice idea, but I'm also planning a book on advanced cuda programming, and I will cover convolutions there, I'll think if it is interesting to have some kind of cross chapter that is valid for both books.

> Noises
I cover those in normal mapping

> anisotropy
I have a full chapter on brdf that includes anysotropy for raster and raytracing, I use it also to derive anisotropic filtering

> Color spaces
I have to make choices, and I don't think I'll cover in depth color spaces, it's a topic I know, but I find it very annoying to write about, in particular, making it fun to read is difficult

> acceleration structures
I will have a short section on them as I use them for raytracing, at the moment I use only a basic octree, but I could expand to include other partitioning structures if that does not make the book too heavy to read

> diffusion processes and 2d/3d solvers
Will be better in the cuda book

> complex numbers
I derive complex, quaternions, and geometric algebra for rotations

> orbit based fractals
I'm not familiar with this topic, apart from basic fractal rendering, I'll look into it
You may find this paper fun to read https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.06184 even if it's not exactly about their rendering

> metropolis sampling
I do not expect to write about mcmc and metropolis in this book, but I keep the idea

> Demoscene
I need to ask a friend that worked in the Demoscene if he would be interested in write something, but I'm not the right person to write about it as I only have a summary knowledge of it, I'm afraid that will be out of scope

Thanks very much for all the ideas!

> But why risk it?

Because testing environments often still mock some parts of the system and there may be subtle differences between mocked systems and live systems.

When I worked at a company that send out SMS to cell phones, we first tested our system without any connection to the network with our simulated SMS service provider. When we tried to go live, we tested a few live SMS on actual phones we controlled. It turned out, that there were some subtle differences between our mock SMS service and the real service, so we had to stop deployment and first fix the issues.

That was after months of testing in the test environment without any sign of the bug before we tried to go live.
A much better way is to RLHF the LLM until you get the behavior you want.

As far as I know, modern LLMs try to strike a balance between being somewhat neutral, while not being too neutral on topics outside of the overton window. They'll give you a "both sides have their good points" argument on abortion, religion, guns or immigration, but won't do that for obvious racism or nazi viewpoints.

Early LLMs had a problem with getting this balance right, I feel like many of them were a lot more left-leaning. I don't know how much of the change is caused by us understanding the technology better and how much is just the political winds shifting, though.

I felt like we had a moment there when some models were a bit too "well it depends", even on very uncontroversial subjects.
I think it was just some small anti-culture (like healing stones or whatever. Same people initially) that got dragged into the with us or against us political landscape of the US.
I second his opinion. No point to take the 15 million's photo of the eiffel tower. Loved ones of course. But also the street! What I find the most interesting in old family pictures is a window into how people I know, or only apart by only one degree of separation, lived at a completely different time. What seemed mundane at the time is often the most amusing a century later. That's also what I like in old movies. Like just the streets of Paris in the early 70s look foreign to a modern eye. Hardly any traffic, you could park anywhere, hardly any advertising boards.

Actually, there are plenty of them. Most heard of is Ethereum 2.0 - it is a distributed log of distributed logs.

Any blockchain that is built upon PBFT derivative is such a system.
The question is, however, is it really "open" if it refuses to address well known and documented facts? And facts that it was clearly exposed to. Doesn't scream "openness" if you ask me. It's not like it's social credit could go down, if it was truly "open".

I know online services or any service depends a lot on personal interaction experiences and personal expectations from those services and people involved in those services, but I can't leave mailbox.org sooner.

I have tried/explored couple of them like Mailbox.org (of course, current user), Fastmail, Proton, and Runbox etc. Given everything http://runbox.com seems to be the best among them - much better than Mailbox. In fact for Mailbox their less than 'less than ideal' support is enough for me to move elsewhere once my balance runs out (which I foolishly pumped in more than I should have had)

Runbox isn't w/o its challenges but they do certain things really nice and they are: prompt, not into disregard a request in its entirety, not un-kind, not-jerk, not-flippant, not-entitled, not-costly, not into offering unusable shit that you don't need in an email suite to begin with, and basically open and engaging.

So while I am not a customer right now, once the mailbox.org balance is close to running out and I will leave mailbox (and leave them I will) Runbox is the first contender to replace them right now.

Ask HN: Replacing traditional UI with chat based interactions/chatbot possible?
HI
I am a software developer by profession and also on my spare time I develop websites and apps for a very little customer base of mine, I have a question I have been wondering for a while, at this moment could I replace an app interface or a web app with a chatbot (say a food delivery app, or a expense tracking app or even an activity tracking app), is there frameworks available to do that? If so can you guys link me to them

to add some context I have dabbled in Google Dialog Flow because I thought it was the answer to my question, but I feel like it fell short to a huge part of my requeirements very quickly.

Tiger Lake is the only one with vp2intersect, but before Alder Lake there had already been 3 generations of consumer CPUs with AVX-512 support (Cannon Lake in 2018/2019, Ice Lake in 2019/2020 and Tiger Lake + Rocket Lake in 2020/2021).

So it was expected that any future Intel CPUs will remain compatible. Removing an important instruction subset has never happened before in Intel's history.

Only AMD has removed some instructions when passing from a 32-bit ISA to a 64-bit ISA, most of which were obsolete (except that removing interrupt on overflow was bad and it does not simplify greatly a CPU core, since there are many other sources of precise exceptions that must still be supported; the only important effect of removing INTO is that many instructions can be retired earlier than otherwise, which reduces the risk of filling up the retirement queue).
Note that the article mentions using both outputs of the instruction, whereas the emulation is only able to compute one output efficiently.
If you can code, you can run them by AWS rekognition to do face recognition. It works amazingly well (you need a score >98 for a match). Where I am impressed is that it is also remarkably resilient to faces aging, and in some case identify some toddlers from an adult face. In your case if it only goes 20 years it is maybe less critical, but in my case I have photos going back to late XIX century, and good luck guessing who was that toddler without a legend!
The author touched on the multiple accounts problem in the article.

I don't use MS products but some of my clients do and when I get an account on their system, it's always been a hassle to set things up. It remembers old accounts which i can't delete, Random error 500s, Teams doesn't work in the browser, and several paper cuts which has made me dread the idea of logging in into any MS account.
You are absolutely correct. We are building something that lets you have a much smoother and largely single tool workflow. We've been frustrated with how many different things we had to throw together just to make something simple. And of course how long it took to just make small adjustments and re-test them on device.
The most pessimistic theory is that Autodesk has been using the forum posts to train an AI that they intend to put into their products as a paid add-on. No incentive to pay for it if there is free of cost forum available.

Come on man. Please don't tell me you engineer things based on "should".

"should" means nothing. The only way test something is to test it, not test something else that "should behave identically".
