1. Artists / labels can pull releases from streaming services, so an album may completely disappear from one day to another. They won't come to your house and rip the CD out of your CD player.

2. They can also replace one version of a song for another, like a remastered version. Especially remasters from the "loudness war" era are often worse in quality than original releases. On a streaming service, you often don't have the choice of which version you can listen to (and if you have the choice, point 1 is still a danger). This is also a problem with songs that contain explicit lyrics. The streaming version may force you to listen to the version with those lyrics removed (e.g. US release vs. EU release). Again, you are not affected by this if you have the physical media or a copy on your computer.

Having a copy of the music that noone can take away from you is important. Tons of music keeps disappearing from streaming services. This is not just a made-up scenario. Yes, technically speaking you only "own" a license to the music. The important thing is that this license is practically irrevocable.
> But yeah the "Apple M hardware is miles and leagues away" hypetrain was just a hypetrain. Impressive and genuinely great but not revolutionary, at best incremental.

It's more nuanced than that. Apple effectively pulled a "Sony A7-III" move. Released something one generation ahead before everybody else, and disrupted everyone.

Sony called "A7-III" entry level mirrorless, but it had much more features even when compared to the higher-end SLRs of the era, and effectively pulled every other camera on the market one level down.

I don't think even they thought they'd keep that gap forever. I personally didn't think it either, but when it was released, it was leaps and bounds ahead, and forced other manufacturers to do the same to stay relevant.

They pulled everyone upwards, and now they continue their move. If not this, they also showed that computers can be miniaturized much more. Intel N100 and RaspberryPi/OrangePi 5 provides so much performance for daily tasks, so unimaginable things at that size are considered normal now.
I agree with you, but I think it’s important to present facts as facts the best we can. There’s enough terrible things out there both Trump and Musk have said and done, there’s no need to have any shred of mischaracterization.

The mere existence of Tailscale should give a hint that NAT is only a speedbump and not any protection whatsoever. It protects you against nothing.

For how long?

Part of this discussion is making it easier for those that come after us. So if you care about others, than this might matter to you. If you only care about yourself, then it truly does not matter.
That hasn’t been true for at a minimum half a decade now and much longer in practice I think.
This looks a lot like "compared to a bunch of people who are 10 years behind (non-transformer, vision-only models), and people who aren't trying (aren't optimizing for OCR) Google is doing real well"

EasyOCR is LSTM-CTC from 2007, RapidOCR is a ConvNet approach from 2021, both focused on speed. Both will vastly outperform almost any transformer model, and certainly a big one, on speed and memory usage, but they aren't state of the art on accuracy. This is well known, for a decade at this point. 2 decades for LSTM-CTC.

Plus, I must say the GPT-4o results look a lot saner. "COCONUT" (GPT-4o) vs "CONU CNBC" (Gemini) vs Ground Truth "C CONU CNBC". And, obviously the ground truth should be "COCONUT MILK" (the word milk is almost entirely out of the picture, but is still the right answer that a human would give). The "C CONU" comes from the first O of COCONUT being somewhat obscured by a drawing of ... I don't know what the hell that is. It's still very obvious it's meant to be "COCONUT MILK", so the GPT-4o answer is still not quite perfect, but heaps better than all the others.

Now this looks very much like it might be temperature related, and I can find nothing in the paper about changing the temperature, which is imho a very big gap (temperature gives transformer models more freedom to choose more creative answers. The better performance of GPT-4o might well be the result of such a more creative choice, and might also explain why Gemini is trying so hard to stay so very close to the ground truth. It's still quite the accomplishment to succeed, but GPT-4o is still better)

>Nobody should be forced to go to war.

Except that's not how it works in reality now nor ever when war happens. Ukrainian men ARE absolutely being forced to the front lines against their will because no normal man is crazy enough to go to certain death or trauma if they can avoid it.

Just look up videos on social media of Ukrainian recruiters patrolling the streets and beating men uncircuitous and dragging them in vans to take them to training centers simply because they don't want to go and fight.

My EU country who borders Ukraine is constantly having to rescue men who risk their lives crossing the border illegally in order to escape the draft.

Yeah, nobody should be forced to go to war in some rosy utopia, but how do you defend yourself in a war when nobody wants to fight?

Of course this helps her proposal, but not because the mere mention of DEI gets it a rubber stamp.

What exactly do you think a budget is?

There's a reason the federal budget is several inches of very thin paper. The budget spells out how much money gets spent for various purposes, programs, projects, etc. Of course they don't specify the kind of paperclips the FAA buys. But they will approve or modify the FAA's budget plan which includes $X for office supplies, $Y for an upgrade to the FAA's network equipment in a branch office, $Z for upgrading some nav beacons, and so on.

The executive branch can't defund or "stop spending money on" anything. Nixon decided he just wouldn't spend money on programs he didn't like, and congress very rapidly passed a law that said that the president couldn't do it, because the "power of the purse" rests solely with congress.

It certainly can't stop issuing payments for existing obligations, and it especially can't take money back, which M did a day or two ago to NYC because he read a tweet that said NYC was spending money housing migrants in "luxury hotels", which shockingly turned out to be nonsense...

That's why all of this DOGE crap is such theatrical nonsense. Congress, representing their state's interests and the interests of those who live in their district, via two separate branches, approves all the budgets.

No matter what T and M say, no federal agency can just willy-nilly decide to spend money it's allocated by congress on other stuff.
Is it sarcasm? There were always viruses evolving to spread between humans.
Contrarian view: One "false-positive" example that a simplistic and sloppy "ctrl+F" caught is being highlighted to unfairly criticize a political proposal (in this particular case, dismissing DEI extremisms). This is old as the world.

The short answer is: I don't know and those are valid concerns.

The first issue you bring up is really one about resource limiting. You would want a mechanism to set resource limits (CPU, memory, execution time etc) and then be able to pause/unpause, throttle, terminate, restart or perform some other action when you hit a resource limit. It is safe to assume people will make mistakes. :-)

It has been a while since I looked at runtimes, but I don't think resource limits would necessarily be that hard to implement.

It seems to me that preventing crashing the surrounding program isn't something you can necessarily address in a runtime. Any library or component you use in your Go code can potentially crash the program. And if you project APIs into the sandbox that can be called in ways that crash the surrounding program, that's mostly on you, the programmer, and not really something I think the runtime could reasonably prevent.

> I just install it through the package manager and it just works.

It just works if the software you require is not only provided by your speciic distribution but also you require the specific version of the software that is provided by your specific distribution. Good luck if it not the case.

For windows or mac, 1 or 2 files each cover all systems from the last 10 years or more.

It's not by masochism that people regularly try to find solutions for linux by reinventing the wheel like appimages, snaps or flatpaks.

> , download some sketchy .exe or .msi and don't know if you'll get the software, a virus, or both.

You compare hunting for pirated software to installing open source software. You don't have more risk downloading an installer directly from the dev than from your distribution. And probably less once you go outside the main distrib.

> It got so bad that it was common to have "cleaners"

Yes windows has issues of letting remains of software that you desinstall(don't know for mac). But linux has issues too with remains, if only in your local directory.

I'm not saying that the other systems are perfects but the developers don't need to produce binaries/installer for 200 distribution times 10 version for each distribution

> I recall that hitting on undergraduates as an early 20-something graduate student was considered a pretty serious no-no

If you're a 24 year old grad student and they're a 22 year old undergraduate in a different department? No big age gap, no power over them like grading their work, no problem.

And as you get towards 27 obviously you won't want to date 18 year olds - but even if the grad students in your department are mostly male and you don't want to create an awkward environment for the female minority, there are grad students in plenty of other departments too.

Is meeting your future wife in grad school super-professional? IDK, maybe not? But it's relatively a lot more professional than trying the same thing at a sausagefest Silicon Valley tech company.
Very generous of you to assume they have the mental ability to do that.
Yeah but a speaker moving in vs out which is positive or negative doesn’t mean having imaginary things, it’s positional relative to displacement of a thing. Sine waves +1, 0, -1. -1 is exactly like +1 but the other way. So it goes for electrons.
This is a good example of what I mean. There is no evidence that DOGE is acting on actual fraud and abuse, that is immediately obvious if you consider how broad most of their actions are.

I remember you talking about the project in the early drools IRC days. Your positivity and enthusiasm were what really made this project happen, and I have no doubts about your success with this new venture.

I am kind of worried that the eagerness for more WASM features may irremediably harm the young ecosystem. Most of what Go added to WASM could be done natively if the component model proposal [1] was merged already.

The standard evolves slowly and as adoption rises we risk having to support more and more non-standard features forever, like WASI and now this.

They lost me when they suggested I install docker.

Now, I wouldn't mind if they suggested that as an _option_ for people whose system might exhibit compatibility problems, but - come on! How lazy can you get? You can't be bothered to cater to anything other than your own development environment, which you want us to reproduce? Then maybe call yourself "OCR4me", not "OCR4all".

I believe the after change hovers over the before line. So if you go back to the video, e.g. at 27s in, there's a lightning bolt highlighting which line is going to be changed, then there's a box, with "tab" at the end, above the line, highlighting the change that will be performed :)
I have worked on a device with this exact same "send a tiny sensor reading every 30 minutes" use case, and this has not been my experience at all. We can run an STM32 and a few sensors at single digit microamps, add an LCD display and a few other niceties and it's one or two dozen. Simply turning on a modem takes hundreds of microamps, if not milliamps. In my experience it's always been better for power consumption to completely shut down the modem and start from scratch each time [1] - which means you're paying to start a new session every time anyway. Now I'll agree it's still inefficient to start up a full TLS session, a protocol like in the post will have it's uses, but I wouldn't blame it on NAT.

[1] Doing this of course kills any chance at server-to-device comms, you can only ever apply changes when the device next checks in. This does cause us complaints from time to time, especially for those with longer intervals.
yes I'm using linux.
In introductory epidemiology courses you'll usually get the Bradford Hill criteria in the first week or two, which gives a good foundation of determining public health causality. After digging deeper, the entire field of causal inference is revealed.

A healthy respect for the difficulties of determining causality is beneficial. Irrational skepticism ignoring the evidence of strong observational research simply replaces it with... what exactly? That's how we ended up with an 71 year old anti-vaccine conspiracist as the health secretary.
My take on this is that Elon buying Twitter has been a bad business decision. X is almost certainly worth nowhere near $44B.

But since the article states it's offered at no discount, I suppose investors want to get exposure to xAI, which could make up the difference?
I agree that the presentation is lax on solutions, but I think it is valid to say that lack of vigilance will not help us get out of this mess. Of course, telling developers to just try harder is never the solution - but part of the solution is make developers aware of another aspect of their work that has to be taken into account. This has to be resolved culturally first.
Not that I agree with GP at all, but you are strawmaning him. I'll steelman his argument with your example: Premeditated murder is worse than just murder: for you to commit murder, you have to be convinced you have to do it, and the power to push it through. And in case of a premeditation, the dellusion you'll be able to do it without consequences.

(I still think it's a bad example even presented like this, and I disagree with GP, but your example seemed wrong)

The component model is... part of WASI, so that criticism doesn't make any sense.

When Go adds support for WASI Preview 2 (or 3), it will have no choice but to support component model. The way WASI Preview 2 works is by making use of the component model.

Reading that set of quotes, it really is incredible how little Musk knows about even extremely basic things. He doesn't understand there are different problem spaces in tech, and that different problem spaces require completely different approaches and skill sets. To him, something like World of Warcraft is very impressive, so if you build Paypal on the same technology it will be impressive too. Like, honestly it's shocking that this guy is allowed near anything that has a button.
They don't like the NIH, the CDC, or the Human Services part of HHS, that's for sure. Hell, they don't like the NIH so much that they're willing to overlook the fact that the basic biomedical research infrastructure in this country is essentially reliant on it.

> Arbitrary nonsensical text require character recognition.

Are you sure? I mean, if it's printed text in a non-connected script, where characters repeat themselves (nearly) identically, then ok, but if you're looking at handwriting - couldn't one argue that it's _words_ that get recognized? And that's ignoring the question of textual context, i.e. recognizing based on what you know the rest of the sentence to be.

Oh I have no doubt about that. You have people, who would not be able to obtain a security clearance in a 100 years if they tried, running around, accessing government databases and taking "backups" offsite. Maybe law enforcement/Pentagon/intelligence data is not under threat at the moment, but in a couple of years who knows. Meanwhile people get fired, proper access protocols and communications continue to breakdown, and you get chaos. And every spy agency loves chaos.
Part of it is many technically inclined people may have trust, respect and admiration for other technically inclined people, especially those who are famous and appear to be successful from an entrepreneurial perspective. When some of these famous people start expressing extreme political views and "awkward" hand gestures, it moves the Overton window to a point that these previously objectionable perspectives now appear to be reasonable. It wouldn't be a stretch for them to then express concern and react passionately when they see others criticize their "heroes".
