It doesn't meaningfully change the conclusion, since we're talking about whether there will "record" profits year after year. The exact % rise of profits is irrelevant. In most circumstances there's no deflation happening, so even if inflation isn't the same for inputs and sales, profits in dollar terms will still go up.
hiding the seconds is a great idea, I'll add a minute/second granularity option
It might be wrong but it's not braindead.

The idea was to prevent non-techy users from using it plugged-in all the time, which would look stupid. They wanted to accentuate the wireless nature and easy connectivity of the mouse. Essentially a marketing decision.

I disagree with this take but it's worth remembering that it's marketing that turned computing from a niche activity to what it is now (which, by the way, is what makes it a viable career to the people here)
Could be worse.

You could be kidnapped to a foreign torture prison and your head shaved by the federal government.

Just because you have a tattoo they insist is gang related but is actually just a disability symbol.

No hearing, no representation, just disappeared into another country you have no association with.

Those 250 people they sold to that infamous El Salvador prison? Yeah they've been going through them and they keep finding people that had no gang association.
> Traffic in Manhattan is largely caused by drivers from other states and the state of New York has exactly one means to tax that behavior.

Both of the suggestions would actually address this. If you stop constraining housing construction in New York then more housing is created in New York and the people who work in New York could actually live there instead of commuting in from other states, which would consequently increase New York's tax base. If you eliminate fares for mass transit, they're equally removed for people commuting from out of state, who are meanwhile still doing business in New York as that's why they commute in, and are then subject to its other taxes the same as anyone else working there.

Meanwhile disproportionately taxing people from outside of the jurisdiction is another disadvantage of congestion pricing, because it's taxation without representation and thereby creates a perverse incentive for the local government to use an inefficient system specifically because it taxes people without a voice in the relevant government. Notice that it gets passed first in New York (a city directly adjacent to state borders) and not e.g. Los Angeles or Houston.

> many non-solutions to housing costs are predicated on the workers' glorious revolution happening first.

There is still only one solution to housing scarcity even in the presence of the workers' glorious revolution. Those solutions tend to be something like "have the government build a lot of new housing" which, although not necessary (the market would do it if you'd just stop restricting people from building in most places), is fundamentally just a different proposal for doing the same thing the opponents don't want to be done in any way whatsoever.

The problem with the housing market is high housing prices, which is the thing the opponents of building want to preserve. The problem with transit is congestion, which nobody wants and then it's a debate over how to solve the problem rather than a fight against people whose actual goal is for it not to be solved.

Thank you. I didn't know the reason. Too bad they are not able to get "Mobile hotspot" right.
I think you've made up a meaning for "systematically" in your head that does not align with the normal meaning of that word or something? It being unsafe and expensive to count rural populations is something that would lead to systemic undercounting of rural populations, but you seem to be unhappy about that word being used?
Ok so the company has like 20 databases, plus over 100,000 pages of PDF catalogs. We tried using agents to query the company's SQL databases, but that took 30 seconds each call, and that is unacceptable because we wanted to return an answer to the user in 10 to 30 seconds. So what we ended up doing is, we created an Azure AI Search service and we made a different search index (like a collection) for each data source, one for each database and one for our repository of 100,000 pdf pages.

Our stack was just Python, Autogen for the agents, and as I mentioned Azure AI Search. We use Azure Web Apps for the backend, and OpenAI models for the generation. Great questions!
I did say a lot of research is done commercially.

Academia will do non commercial research though, because they are motivated by prestige, not money.

I think we are violently agreeing!
Been saying this for years.

I have two internal web applications that I developed on the same code base. (1) YOShInOn, a smart RSS reader with a content-based recommender model and (2) Fraxinus, an image sorting and viewing application.

These work great on desktop, great on iPad, pretty good on Android and sorta OK on phones where the screen size is a little too small. I even found out they work great on the Meta Quest 3, where it isn't a real XR app but I can view and sort images on three great big monitors hanging in my room or in a Japanese temple [1]

For years I had a series of bottom-of-the-line Android phones that left me thinking that "app" is a contraction of "crap" as opposed to "application". When I heard Skype was ending I ported my number to an iPhone and I can see with a high end device and 5G you don't need to wait a minute for the app to get into your gym to load. On the iPhone a number of factors come together for the app to be worthwhile but I think it was never true on the iPad and web applications have long been undervalued, even though the experience of most web apps on the iPad, even if they weren't designed for it, is the definition of "just works".

It's an astonishing mistake that Apple never caught up with the Microsoft Surface and made the iPad Pro compatible with Mac applications, from a hardware reason there is no reason why not other than Apple thinks anyone who buys a Pro is made of money and can afford a macbook too -- it's like the way Digital struggled in the microcomputer age because they were afraid that cheap microcomputers compatible with the PDP-11 or VAX would cut off their minicomputer business.

It's hard to say what part of the Vision Pro failure was "too expensive" (the Meta Quest consumer thinks the MQ3 is too expensive) vs the moral judgement that using controllers is like putting your hand in a toilet; the MQ3 shows you can make great fully immersive games and experiences if you have controllers... At Vision Pro prices the device has to do it all and watching 3-d movies and using phone apps on a screen in midair just doesn't cut it.

[1] Curious how it works w/ the Vision Pro: web apps are easy to work with the controllers on the MQ3 but I found that it really helps to meet the WCAG AAA size requirements to make the targets easy to hit. How is it with the hand tracking on the Vision Pro? I found that I can do stuff w/ tracking and the clicker on the original Hololens but it isn't easy.
thanks! is txt format enough? initially thought of csv, since its a 2 column structure
I've had issues with some software & games not being able to get a proper display context and refusing to start.
Super interested in this when the eye tracking is available but need some reviews for that first. For sit-down VR the price isn't really an issue for this, given how the GPU market is now anyway. It is a niche product for sure.

Foveated rendering with decent eye tracking could help us get out of the combo of high resolution / low framerates for clarity vs low resolution / high framerates for comfort.

Also, Valve seem to be ready to say something but it feels like it'll probably be (sensibly) a Steam Deck strapped to your head for stand-alone solution, and that's not the same market as this PC VR set-up is aimed at. Maybe if Valve take the 'store subsidy' hit and price it well and you can run a cable to it anyway..
Valve's free Steam Link has done the job for me.
Beat Saber with custom songs is the killer app for VR
thanks!
by local you mean a mac/windows app?
that would be a major endeavour :)
RDP GPU acceleration should be available (on Windows, at least) with the right quality settings. AFAIK nothing API-wise prevents GPU software from running. That said, RDP is an edge case few software developers bother testing so I'm sure there are lots of programs out there that ignore edge cases when it comes to rendering APIs.

It's not optimised for games, though. Something like Parsec would be much better for interactive stuff like that, or maybe something like Moonlight for Nvidia cards if you're looking to go without closed source software.
If it can do both those things then it can also do a lot of other things. Sweep, mop, dust, straighten up, etc.
There has been. It's mostly someone ripping out parts of Siri to make it even worse. They share desks with the one developer working on desktop macOS.
I have seen reviews of redmagic and asus gaming phones with fans.
Now it's for even wealthier. And with less congestion.
>> I’ve been very lucky, by the way. First, I had the fortune to be born into a middle-class family that through the influence of family friends, bought a used home computer in the 1980s and then a PC in the 1990s.

Me too. Only bit-shifted by 10 years (OK, not possible in the binary world so let's settle for 8 years).

But DARPA did have an impact in my case. The communist regime in Romania implemented a DARPA-like system where each and every village center (commune in French organization) was given a commputer. I had intermittent access to that since my gymnasium years, then in my high school years and after the fall and dissolution of the communist regime, I simply requested and was allowed moving said computer to my home on the promise that should anyone request or desire access to it, I will immediately return the computer to school. Never happened.

Several years later standard of living increased enough after the hyperinflation crash when the average salary became $78 (luckily there was two of my parents so we were making $150) that I was able to return the borrowed DARPA computer and buy my own.

From that on it's history. Or future, depending on the vantage point.

Also, have I ever mentioned that I had my IQ taken once in not so ideal conditions (waking up from drunken stupor) and got 125. Adjusted for age and situation, 135, I was let go. Definitely privileged. Genetically.
That might practically be where VNC finds usage today, but when it was introduced in the 90s, remote desktops were the intended use case.

"In the virtual network computing
(VNC) system, server machines supply not only applications and data
but also an entire desktop environment that can be accessed from any
Internet-connected machine using a simple software NC." -- https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/dtg/attarchive/pub/docs/at... (1998)
<But that's just a straight-forward appeal-to-authority argument

No, it isn't. It's a simple statement of contractual obligation. They signed a deed under the authority of an HOA so they are bound to obey the rules of the HOA. If you don't like that don't buy property beholden to an HOA.
And likely the cause of a lot of business errors too. But at least it's not like parts of the human genome needed renamed because of it... Wait...
My mom was the first in her family to pay for haircuts. Before that either your mom did your hair, or your mom's friend came over and did hers. I didn't get a paid haircut until junior high. So people don't need them in the way they don't need automatic dishwashing machines to have clean dishes.

Are the datasets in the study calculated the same way as the census? It looks to be satellite data and remote sensing (which I'm not aware of the census using) so this doesn't seem to imply anything about the census
Great, thank you!

The main program is hosted on Azure Web Apps, the search is Azure AI Search,
we use AutoGen for the agents, and we use OpenAI for the generation. Azure has a lot of tools that support AI and search, so we use those too.
I remember using consumer grade netbook and normal laptop and those have way fewer ports than a workstation. But all were useful ones. Mainly hdmi, ethernet, sd card reader, and usb.
No one is forced into joining an HOA. If you don't want to be bound by one then don't buy property bound by one. If there's property you want not bound by an HOA them's the breaks.
1. Remain calm. do not escalate the encouter. Police are often violent, and are substance abusers. Being right will not keep you alive.
2. You have the right to remain silent, use it.
3. You have a right to a lawyer, use it.
4. You have the right to refuse searches. Tell them “I do not consent to searches” it may nto stop them but it helps your case.
5. Understand that police cany legally lie to you. See #2
6. Ask if you are free to go or it you are being detained.
7. Record the encounter or take notes. You might need that later.
8. Dont let them in your home. Do not even crack the door without a judicial warrant.

In particular the F-47 is expected to act as a forward control node for drones. We're probably decades away from having AI software that can autonomously execute any type of complex mission. So that means there's a critical need for a crewed aircraft survivable enough to get close to the target, even if it doesn't have to directly employ weapons itself.
no, i think it is the right move, especially if it landed as such a provocative statement to dig around on the profile, and then THAT RESEARCH revealed such a contradictory impulse.

There are people who live like that, and the quick social shaming response is not a bad one. "you said you care about people {here}, and you are now behaving in a dehumanizing way. how interesting"

I simply used a word that means one thing to me, and I use it in spoken language often enough, but it happens to have an equally prominent alternative usage that means directly 'to hit'.

No apologies needed or received. I think apologies are useful for some mistakes, but in some cases, if it seemed like you're witnessing online bullying... I say keep on keeping on.

Me saying "i'd hit you in person if you said this" is straight-down-the-middle bullying. Me saying "I'd sadly think less of you, if you said this in person" is not bullying, IMO, so I say we're both right. how nice.

now i wanna take my frisbee for a walk in the local park but it's as bit too windy for good throwing... hm.
The problem is the software. macOS could remind you to charge the night before, but it always ends up needing charging in the morning as you're ready to start working. One engineer could fix the problem in under an hour if anyone at Apple cared about user xperience.

Valve had an early lead with the Index and has plenty of titles in its store that were designed for the Index. Then Oculus came along with the Quest and many of the titles were ported over there.

People who prefer Valve to Facebook, or who want a device-agnostic software library, might prefer buying from Steam. However, many of these games have been basically abandoned on Steam. Even though Quest ports exist, the versions on Steam may have controls that don't work with Quest controllers over Steam Link.
It was neither a popular nor an electoral landslide (it was a below-average electoral margin for a US presidential election, the 17th narrowest of 60 elections).

Yes, the party won a trifecta, but that's a completely separate thing from a landslide.
its a 100% client-side react app, there are no server requests except from the first one creating the anonymous user. the local DB is SQLite implementation that supports offline mode and cloud sync (not enabled in this version)
I may be misunderstanding your argument, but if it's that of a simple offset, then only the one starting from 0 forms a monoid (a group without an inverse to each element). Though, of course, you could redefine the + operation...
It even improves seated VR! You get better image quality using wireless over virtual desktop than wired using quest link.
Different Bluey episodes resonate with different people for different reasons, but the Cricket episode from Season 3 is just about as perfect an episode of a kid's show as I've ever seen. In about 7 minutes it manages to tackle how being passionate about one of your interests or hobbies and sticking with it even when you experience setbacks pays off.
Low CPU overhead. VNC streams screen grabs with minimal (if any) compression, which results in lower CPU overhead, high bandwidth consumption and low frame rate. This is okay for the use-case of low-level VM debugging that it's used for in context of virtualization management systems, not so great for desktop remoting.

While RDP may run okay on 56k with low color mode for some use cases (e.g. simple Windows admin), it requires significantly more bandwidth and compute overhead (either CPU or GPU) for other more advanced use-cases (e.g. video editing, CAD etc.)
It's usually pretty good on windows because it does a lot of local drawing but most Linux servers don't support that and use it just as a dumb blockpusher like VNC :(
You must have a wife or mom at home doing the dishes if you think it's a 7 minute task.
This is great. I'll have to look into spinning up a client for out of support Mac OS editions via macports -- the last version of the official client sometimes crashes eating up GB of RAM.

I also would like to integrate smart card support into the client instead of passing through the hardware to the host... entering PINs through the normal remote UI always gives me the heebie-jeebies.
The fact this substation exists, yes, obviously. The fact taking it out takes out the entire airport: not so much! These kind of things usually aren’t dependent on a single substation. The fact that it is, is not something the UK government would have liked to be made public.
Trump has certainly found innovative ways to harm the US economy.
Yes I have seen OpenGL applications refuse to start with AMD cards in some circumstances due to a bug in the AMD drivers, but never had a problem on NVIDIA cards
If you think RDP performance is good, you should try Sunshine+Moonlight. I regularly stream at 4k 120hz from my gaming PC to my laptop and it's basically indistinguishable from running locally. I've even run it over Tailscale from a thousand miles away (though at 1080p60) and it was still markedly better than RDP.

Caveats - You really want a Windows host for fully accelerated on-GPU hardware video encoding, the server setup is _slightly_ more involved than RDP which is usually preinstalled, and Sunshine+Linux+NVidia requires an annoying driver patch. But overall it's _amazing_.
The US pays private prisons per prison, not per prisoner. So it looks bad if XYZ agency is paying for a prison with empty beds. The incentive/political optics is to fill those beds. Something resource utilization rates something something.

Lots of things are also bad for you, but not only is pollution higher underground than at street level, the pollution on the subway is from iron-based particles which present different dangers. I'm all for reducing traffic, but not when it's done by packing more and more people into tunnels filled with unsafe levels of neurotoxins.

True, but that also goes for VNC (though VNC isn't as optimised as RDP is).

Modern RDP also has the option to turn (parts of) the screen into a simple h.264 stream so the connection doesn't die when you open up a web page with an animated background.

It's (usually) not about restricting access. Many AI scrapers are poorly implemented: they overload servers with requests, effectively DOS-ing the server and preventing anyone (including normal users and even themselves) from accessing it.

Many of the AI scraper's requests also point to non-existent, redundant, or low-quality destinations. Websites provide a file, /robots.txt, that clearly indicate what URLs crawlers should and should not visit; but the AI scrapers ignore robots.txt, visiting any URL they find, and some they invent (which, naturally, turn out to be non-existent). Websites also indicate when the content at a specific URL has or may change; but AI scrapers ignore those indicators too, requesting the same URL for a static webpage sometimes seconds apart.

https://blog.cloudflare.com/ai-labyrinth/ specifies that it works against "unauthorized crawling" and "inappropriate bot activity". I assume that a scraper (even an AI scraper) that respects robots.txt and doesn't send requests at unreasonable rates won't encounter the AI labyrinth.
