That's unsurprising. All major social platforms are surveilled in near real-time for people on watch lists, e.g., people who are somewhat, maybe, or could be baddies and protestors; people who aren't enemies of the state but are potentially dangerous by trade such as specops and infosec employees. This has been in place for over 15 years in the US. Also, it's probable public media is scoured continuously for political and/or intelligence leaks as well.
I don’t think the advent of superintelligence will lead to increased leisure time and increased well-being / easier lives. However, if it did I wouldn’t mind redundantly learning the mathematics with the help of the AI. It’s intrinsically interesting and ultimately I don’t care to impress anybody, except to the extent it’s necessary to be employable.
This is interesting because I think the opposite. What is amazing about Google seems to be their incredible ability to squander their lead in absolutely every area.

Maps used to be the absolute best and now I frequently get baffling driving directions in a US major metro area. No improvements within the last 10 years. New pixel phones are worse than latest Samsung. Some huge lead in AI absolutely totaled, their investment in anthropic their only hope. Inference HW accelerators that noone uses.

They are becoming like M$ - I expect M$ to be this terrible at product development - but at least M$ is fantastic at making money despite terrible products.

Google has allowed search experience to slide so much people would rather use some slow-ass unreliable chatbot. Are they really losing the war on SEO or have they decided that the internet-of-shit (i.e. affiliate marketing) is more valuable?
Probably will use the robots to spy on their users in real life, and then sell the information to the advertisers.
Don't forget bundling Chrome with random apps (I remember cCleaner), making it install silently and automatically set itself as default.

I got caught by this as a kid a few times, I was technical enough to know what was going on, and reliant on a screen reader (which Chrome didn't support back then), so it was definitely a memorable annoyance for me, but I guess quite a few people didn't care.
Does it mean that if I have a physics engine written in c++ and want to use it on the server I have to compile it to web assembly?
Giving away flexibility for free is a collectively dumb move on our part. If someone knows you can take on coding tasks and customer interviewing vs. just coding, you are more valuable to them and they should pay more for it.

They've already gotten away with adding infrastructure and architecture (aka system design) rolled into one developer position. And putting it behind long and stressful interview processes. I'm not doing PM stuff on top of all that and not getting the pay and prestige for it.

Sorry bud.

Neither of our opinions make someone else's opinion false.

- Rust may have felt easier for you or some, but certainly not everyone or even most. It might be worth it, but it's not an easy on ramp for many.

- Excuses for slow compile times don't make compile times faster.

- That's why I said "feel." There are warm fuzzy and cold prickly human things in here. Studies that pretend at measuring something we all know cannot be measured are summarily dismissed.

- More excuses do not make a statement false. Rust compile times are some of the slowest I have seen in >25 years of development.

Again, the trade-offs work for many people and orgs. That's great!

That doesn't make them disappear or become, "false."

It's precisely this tone and attitude (that is so prevalent in the community) that keeps so many of us away.
It might benefit you to take some marketing courses to understand why these sort of ads are effective and useful. Just because you don't understand something doesn't mean there's no rational explanation for it.

(In general, it's a good rule of thumb to assume that the widespread existence of something suggests there's a reason for it, and to be inquisitive as to what that reason might be.)
I'm still more of an HP-41 fan.

What all these ai apps have is a certain look. it's like the bootstrap look from the early days. you know the app is being made by somebody who doesn't really care about quality.

I think there is going to be a counter reaction towards artisanal apps which will come out of all of this.

Just how WordPress runs 70% of the web but it's 70% of the crap web.

Similarly AI will maybe create 70% of the apps but it will be 70% of the crap apps.

And this is not some sort of reflection on AI. AI is actually great tech, but it's more about the person making the app and the proof of work required to show how much they care about the product. Or in this case these apps will be associated with shady fly-by-night companies trying to sell something.
I don't believe for a second that you wrote your comment as an earnest solicitation for information.
Promotion of Indian/Indian American CEOs, in established companies, after the founders have cashed in, is proof of shareholders value maximizer having won control of the firm. Their main contribution being offshoring, not just the labor, but the culture as well.

Google was already an advertising monopoly by the time this happened and his job is to sell ads and minimize costs...the rest of Google is just there for marketing & public relations
It took me awhile to realize but the intro song is also a game you can play with your kids. They're basically doing musical chairs. Then like you mentioned virtually every episode is a non-screen-time game you can play with your kids. Very clever.
do you have an eval? how did this actually help?
My point with the hum was that even lights have lost the sounds they used to make. My gut is our future is far quieter than the current world.

Again, there will still be loud things. But a lot of the noise of the modern world will go away. It is kind of startling how much of the modern world is gas motors running.
I think those are for older kids than the ones I'm talking about.
Hi there! Like I said in the post, we're actively developing support for JS/TS next, and are building toward a language-extensible project. We started with an open-source Python tool. :)
It’s comparable to carbon monoxide, except you can’t smell that one.
the difference is the dynamic nature of things here.

Current arms and their workspaces are calibrated to mm. Here it's more messy.

Older algorithms are more brittle than having a model do it.
> Are services really easily available in SF?

IDK about in the city itself, but in the surrounding metro area I would say yes.

> At normal city you just drop into nearest good restaurant, and if they are full (very unlikely) you go to next.

Right, I was biased toward considering the surrounding cities in the SF metro. I think popping into next open restaurant with seating applies to the healthy downtowns in the area metro area. But the city itself, I wouldn't know.

Good counterexample, thank you.
4 months ago I tried every dedicated NSFW-image-classifier model I could find on HuggingFace or GitHub. They have a high false positive rate on certain kinds of benign content, like close up photographs of hands with painted fingernails, and a high false negative rate on artistic nude photographs. I even tried combining multiple models with gradient boosting but the accuracy barely improved; maybe everyone is training with very similar data sets. At this point I should train my own model but I was hoping to find something capable off-the-shelf, since content moderation is such a common task.
Rent isn’t optional, most things are. For things that are optional, which is really a sliding scale, we do see consumers just stop consuming.

I can’t not consume rent, that’s never an option.
That's a different kind of experiment and I just got to say that there is no "one size fits all" method of experimentation. The reason there doesn't need to be a control here is because comparitors have ZERO effect on the answers being asked.

The question being tested is:
- Do Huawei devices have the capacity for adequate capacity

Not
- Are Huawei devices better or on par in terms of security compared to other vendors.

These are completely different questions with completely different methods of evaluation. And honestly, there is no control in the latter. To have a control you'd have to compare against normal operating conditions and at that point instead you really should just do a holistic analysis and provide a ranking. Which is still evaluating each vendor independently. _You don't want to compare_ until the very end. Any prior comparison is only going to affect your experiments.

tldr: most experiments don't actually need comparisons to provide adequate hypothesis answering.
The tl;dr (though you should read!) of the "oversight" is that there's a constant used to adjust the sun's position that's seemingly based on latitude; in the first Shenmue, it's set to 22, and in Shenmue II - which uses much of the same code - it's set to 35. This is odd, because Shenmue I takes place at latitude 35°, and Shenmue II at 22° - precisely the other way around.

If that's what's going on, it's sort of hard for me to wrap my brain around how that might've happened. I could see them "fixing" the Shenmue I code base and then forgetting to "unfix" it for Shenmue II, but I can't - even knowing that there were already plans for where the sequel would be set - come up with a story for how they would've accidentally used Shenmue II's latitude for the original game.
I feel like this is a very myopic perspective. It can be both art and a commercial at the same time and appreciable for either or both. As time progresses, it becomes more art than commercial because the commercial utility has expired.

Commercials are interesting as they are a way to support artists financially. Many artists make a living in commercials while also getting a chance to exercise a creative profession.

Conceptually it isn't that much different than church commissions during the Renaissance.
I've actually seen multiple such ads in the past year on Youtube. I found myself surprised to actually want to see it to the end while hovering over the Skip button. One was a bed Heater/Cooler gadget, another an ultrasonic cutter. There were also some doozies, like these "model v8 engines" that work very hard to hide the fact that they are powered by electric motors. We'll see how this year goes.

I've been on the IC version of this. You have to be on the right team, do well, and have the right friends to get a promotion past the terminal level. Ask yourself where the team is in its lifecycle and how much growth it really has ahead of it.

Noise cancelling headphones have quite literally been one of the best things I've ever spent money on. I started using them three years ago (about a year out of college) and I was immediately filled with immense regret that I didn't invest in a pair earlier.

Noise cancellers have made it so much easier for me to focus, they've lowered my stress levels, made me a more effective programmer and even made me a nicer person.

I also recently just shelled out $600CAD for a new pair of Bose noise cancellers and they were worth every single loonie!
I'm on a sub-optimal connection, so the Ant Design one took me about a minute to be responsive, while the native one worked in seconds.

I also am confused by this Ant demo page. Is every single date item supposed to be selected in a different element?

In this comparison, I vastly preferred the native date picker over the Ant ones. But I am probably misunderstanding the demo page. Or maybe it's just giving you "too many" options? I just need to pick a date and this seems like overkill, at best.
I'm not comparing it to an OS. I'm comparing it to other competitors in the particular solution space. To answer your question: no one else's equipment behaved in that manner.
is noise from commercial aircraft low frequency? I live in DFW about 20min from a major airport and I remember going outside after 9/11 when all air traffic was grounded. It was eerily quiet even though I was still in the middle of a large metropolitan area.
It’s not about “giving secret information to a foundry”. It’s entirely the field programmable (FP) feature. It’s also not really programmable in the sense that you would be sending in new instructions in realtime. Reconfigurable is a better word. So giving everyone an FPGA in their laptop isn’t really going help anyone in except some enthusiast who wants to try out some different algorithms.
Indeed. I'm still not entirely sure why Rust was created when we have Ada, but if I had to guess it's mainly because Rust has slightly more advanced tricks for safe memory management, and to some degree because Rust has curly braces.
While your point has value, there's also value in the perspective that people should take more responsibility for the damage inflicted on others under their watch. For example, it is my perspective that too many people stood by idly while the U.S. engaged in war for the 90's/00's/10's/20's. Too many people said "I want to go make money on wall street/in law/in consulting" instead of either changing their political system or serving it. There is a fair argument that war, particularly war conducted by your own country, is an exceptional thing and requires re-prioritizing duties over desires. The only other exception I can think of that isn't debateable is genocide.
There are certain demands and if you don't do anything, those will be taken over by competitors and you lose controls. This is especially important for Google as they see LLM as a significant portion of future Cloud business and probably want to have a smooth, exclusive transition path to their proprietary models.
Fairs. But logging and similar is a type of telemetry. It is worth being clear about this stuff. And surely, you don't want to send logs only when your software crashes (which seems to be your proposal) as it might never crash. Not all software bugs lead to crashes. Doesn't mean they don't need investigation.
I would love that too. In fact, I already spend a good amount of my free time redundantly learning the mathematics that was produced by humans, and I have fun doing it. The thing that makes me sad to imagine --- and again, this is not a prediction --- is the loss of the community of human mathematicians that we have right now.
I have used Soviet RPN calculator at my school years. It was not compatible with TI or something Western, but as I know ideologically it was very close.

What also interest, in early 2000s, Russia made modern remake, with much improved performance and added digital i/o, and compatible with old programs (even emulated some old glitches), so it could really run tons of programs one could find on old books/magazines.

I could not recommend anybody to buy Russian calculators, just want to say, this is very significant niche (RPN), but hugely depend on compatibility (with old software and old books) and on nostalgia.

If you're using VS Code then you can add `"rust-analyzer.check.command": "clippy"` to your `settings.json`. I assume there's a similar setting for rust-analyzer in other editors.
You'd think they'd be better off spinning them off rather than killing them?
I don’t think it is do not need to, it is mainly they can’t at this moment. None of their LLMs are better than competitors, then it is not monetizable.

I wonder who in practice runs XMLRPC today. My feeling id that nobody looked at that code in decades, because nobody cares.
Yeah, I'm not sure a lot of people read the article. This isn't really a back to basics, going back to C, forgoing complexity type of article, but instead it's about developing a new programming language called KC3 to make use of ideas he originally developed in Lisp.
Why not allow the user to start a “session” at any time of day and then they only have 3hrs from that time
My conclusion is that C is not a good basis for what Rust is trying to do. The kind of reliability Rust is trying to provide with almost no runtime overhead requires a much more complex language than C.
They're still academics...
Not really, the lava lamp's fluid dynamics are very sensitive to initial conditions and the fluids behave chaotically, whereas the bouncy balls have highly predictable trajectories.
That's not really how I read in that article. It's the introduction of the jet engine that caused the bulk of the problems. It does mention O’Hare in Chicago as an example of an airport built far from the city only to have the city eventually expand around it, but that was in the 40s, 50s, and 60s and wasn't a big problem until jet engines came along. It also mentions that airports have become much much larger (both in terms if surface area and traffic) – it's not just cities that have expanded. There is a big difference between "an airplane once a day" and "an airplane every five minutes", whether it's during daytime or early mornings/evenings/nights.

My hometown is also an example of an airport built far form the city (in the 30s) only to have the city expand around it, but traffic has expanded massively since the early 00s (after the city expansions happened) with RyanAir traffic. Before that it was mostly a military airport with some limited regional passenger traffic.

As an additional point, the most noise isn't necessarily near the airport but sometimes dozens of kilometres from the airport. Sometimes this is because the airport changed flying routes due to noise complaints and/or expansions.
Investigating the link between sleep quality and belief in conspiracy theories

You're not thinking of the entire scope of the issue. For example, the UK cannot legislate Huawei or any other Chinese company. You might say that that's true about the US too, and to some degree you'd be correct, but this also isn't taking into account that the US is (was?) a strong ally and this provides much more leverage over the situation. It ALSO means that IF these networks are being used to spy on citizens that there's a lower worry (still a worry, but lower). It would also mean that if this data is not being shared with the UK then this would be a violation of the 5 eyes agreement, which means the UK has more leverage over that situation.

So yeah, even if they are equal, there are A LOT of reasons to spend the extra money.

I would not want to migrate to the "future crew" given that "customer crew" getting enough resources (and adequately compensated). But even without separation it's typical that maintenance is starved while new features getting all attention and resources. I would guess separation on two teams would make it only worse.
AI Scientist-v2 passed the peer-review process at a ICLR Workshop 2025
In 2025 this is something a casual YouTuber could do, or could be assigned as a school project. All the pieces are there now. You wouldn't even need to pay for anything, I don't think. Blender should be able to do everything you need, quite comfortably. Getting data from the world back into the special effects software has gotten magnitudes easier since then.

That's a fair distinction. Basically, it's easier to write C that compiles than Rust that compiles, but it's harder to write correct C than correct Rust.

Regarding Clippy, you can also crank it up with `cargo clippy -- -Wclippy::pedantic`. Some of the advice at that level gets a little suspect. Don't just blindly follow it. It offers some nice suggestions though, like:

But they are worse. Massively so.

Also, even if all providers provide equally crappy versions, it's still slightly more secure to prefer a vendor in your own or an allied nation. At least your interests are mildly aligned.

But really, they are massively worse.
Same! So satisfying to just explore the world they built, to the point of me neglecting the actual story a lot of the time. Hell, I think the only reason I advanced the story was to unlock new dialog from the NPCs. I loved the whackiness of 'em.

Unfortunately, I think the lost enchantment is just a product of aging. Things I were so enthusiastic about as a child (videogames, particularly) no longer have the same appeal, despite my best efforts to reignite some passion. That said, I did put in a good chunk of playtime with the remaster and I was still having fun with it. Though, not to completion as my attention span for videogames has dwindled.

If you did, they'd be a non-exempt employee, so you'd need to track and pay out overtime. A quick look puts the minimum non-exempt salary for jobs in California at ~$69,000.

Also, honestly? I expect you'd be hard-pressed to find a decent programmer for $80k/year in ANY major metro area in the US... post 2020, housing prices went NUTS across the country and aren't getting any less nuts.

(One of the big reasons I haven't moved out of San Francisco is that my ~50% less than "market rate" rent is not THAT much more than current rents in most other US cities. (Plus, most other US cities don't even pretend to have any sort of useful public transportation.))
