I think that ML stuff has been in place for many Apple apps (like iTunes and Siri), for a lot longer than that. A lot of it is server-based, though.

The main thing about 18, is moving into the hardware, and adding a lot more of it.
Not sure, but I don't see why we can't have a civil discussion about it and I'm not seeing much of that.

It's either A) we The People are completely free and nobody can intervene in any way or B) The Government is a tyrannical overlord that controls every packet that dares to enter the internet.

Absolute freedom never was and never will be a good idea. If we don't at least talk about it, somehow, someday, and maybe quite soon, They will ram it down our throats and we'll end up closer in scenerio B than A.

The internet reminds me in many ways of the international road network. There are clear boundaries and there are checks and, yes, they suck. It's not a complete free for all, yet it's workable. I know this analogy breaks down eventually, but I'm wondering if there's some middle ground here.

I guess I am jaded by some branches of "hacker culture" with a proclivity for taking pride in activities or mindsets - breaking in, finding exploits, destruction - that I don't find particularly palatable without understanding the social and eventual political backlash that will strip away your freedoms faster than you can say "papers, please".
I have been able to do this with Djay Pro since before this announcement. Not sure if it's now also on other platforms but it works great with Djay even for my own titles cloud synced through Apple music.
That seems like a distinction without meaning. "Rival lawyers" don't "oversee" discovery. They make requests to the judge, who decides on their validity and issues orders. It's just a formalized suggestion.
Both Finnish and Swedish are official languages in Finland. Linus' parents are from the region of Finland that primarily speaks Swedish, so Linus grew up speaking Swedish at home.
Even making a massive snowflake for the whole story didn’t quite do it for me. It would forget relatively unimportant things, like the character had said something to someone, then three scenes on misremembers what they actually said.
Rost also did do extra work to have maximally diverging naming.

- struktur could have been strukt
- umstz could have been impl as in Implementierung was added to the German language
- nutz would be a more realistic replacements of use
- Mutieren is a German word so mut would stay mut
- unsafe is better translated as unsicher, not gefährlich which is dangerous
- hinein is a translation for into but .into() a short for "convert into", which in German is "konvertiere zu" so `.zu()`, similar "convert ... from .." would be roughly "aus ... erstelle ..." so `.aus()`.
- etc.

in general authors do choose language keywords, syntax and acronyms so that they flow/read reasonable nicely and that isn't true here in many ways. If we don't just try to translate by word but by what we mean with the word in given context then verhalten would be a better choice for trait and you can definieren (define) behavior so `impl Behavior for Thing` become `def Verhalten für Ding`. Similar static wouldn't become statisch but instead global.
It’s looking less and less functioning and less and less like a democracy every day.

And give France a bit more credit; they were instrumental in the US’s own internal revolution against the British.
You're also competing with multinationals that can exploit tax loopholes and attract tax incentives and grants.
Existential types already exist as `impl Trait` for method parameters, unfortunately return position impl traits aren't fully existential because you can only return one type from a function.

My only use case of ChatGPT:

Ok, not random but I use it for FFmpeg all the time. Example from yesterday when I needed to convert a TrueHD audio file into stereo FLAC: https://i.imgur.com/5ib99qh.png

Except that telling someone a lie, especially in professional context, can be completely discrediting, especially whenever trust is crucial. I work with people able to say: "I don't know", "I'm not sure", "Hard to say", "I need to do some extra work to verify this". Working with such people is very efficient because you don't waste context on fact-checking their every utterance.

Can they be wrong? Absolutely, but it's relatively rare. Will they decide to just lie to me? Extremely unlikely, given the stakes.
Nobody said "need". Obviously you can look up all the tutorials if you want to do it slowly.

Think about it like fancy search. You can manually look through a document ("I don't need something else to do the searching for me"), or you can just use Ctrl+F.

I was actually quite impressed by the non-human version of the Waltz before seeing the video with the musician. It's a lot like the fantastic Succession theme, it's not a generic waltz, it's a bit dark in an interesting way.

They also don’t work well for large orders or things that aren’t bar coded. They’re mostly good for a small number of bar coded items. And some stores have probably excessively trimmed human cashiers.
As someone living in a country where , is used as the decimal separator, I cannot begin to describe the number of times CSV data has caused me grief. This becomes especially common in an office environment where Excel is the de facto only data handling tool that most people can and will use. Here the behavior of loading data becomes specific to the individual machine and changes over time (e.g. when IT suddenly forces a reset of MS Office application languages to the local one).

That said, I don't really know of any alternative that won't be handled even worse by my colleagues...

Perhaps the specification is irrelevant, and it would be better to look at the actors' goals and incentives.

Using the OP's example

As a first approximation, it's reasonable to say that the goal of the closed source software's producer is to make money, and the goal of the open source software's provider is to have people use it.

The closed source software's author has no incentive to continue to follow the specification unless it advances the goal of making money; and the open source software's authors have no incentive to reject deviations from the specification if the result is a drop in usage.

Postel's law still holds even in this asymmetric situation because that's where the incentives are.
Um...just no. I ran an informal Reddit survey some years ago, and got responses from all over the world. Literally everyone programs in English.

FWIW I teach in a German-speaking area, and all of my material is in English.
As the previous poster has implied, An animatic can evolve directly from a storyboard. The frames of the storyboard are placed directly on a timeline (e.g. premier) and sometimes given a few animations (e.g. zoom, pan etc) and annotations. As the animation progresses, rough 3D renders (sometimes called flip books) can be dropped onto this timeline. In this way, the final movie can evolve directly from the animatic.

What made Flow unusual is that they bypassed the storyboard almost entirely, which is unusual for a feature film. One rational is that the movie features significant and lengthy camera motion shots. Camera motion is very difficult to capture in a storyboard.

At a student level, another motivation for lessening the importance of the storyboard is that they require not insignificant drawing skills in order to do effectively. Even animation students cannot be guaranteed to draw well, and the number of student filmmakers who can draw is vanishingly small.

Postgres Extension Day, Montreal 2025
Likely the grocery stores in question do not have parking lots. I have I think four supermarkets plus some convenience stores within ten minutes walk; none of them have parking; have to go a bit more suburban if you want that (there's a big-ish one with underground parking about 30 mins walk/10 mins on bus away); I'm not sure where the nearest one with non-underground parking would be, but further than that, anyway.

If you do not follow the happy path something will break 100% of the time. That's why engineers always follow the happy path. Some engineers even think that anything outside the happy path is an exception and not even worth investigating. These engineers only thrives if the users are unable to switch to another product. Only competition will lead to better products.
Sure, like how we all self-host our own email servers and photo albums? Honestly, I think you’re about as wrong as you could possibly be, both on timelines, and in that I’d argue the arc of consumer tech adoption bends towards centralisation most often.

Standards are already emerging, including MCP, and to say that simply because they’ll evolve and be replaced over time means they’re not ‘real’ now is ridiculous. Look at the early internet and web as examples.

Local models, even accounting for reasonable progress and device performance improvements, will always, inherently, be behind the eight ball compared to SOTA models. While they may be sufficient for the low hanging fruit, I’d not bet against the frontier models being every bit as compelling relatively speaking.

Using weasel words like ‘real’ and ‘x is the future’ is astoundingly arrogant, and anyone claiming with confidence that they’ve got any idea where we’re heading is almost assuredly wrong.

Junk writing from someone who doesn't understand AI.

Has there been much work on reversing binaries into an AST form? It seems like something that somebody would have thought of researching, but I've not come across any efforts.

Is it something you can do generically, or do you need to know the specific compiler? Do you need to know the specific language, even, or could you perhaps create some other hypothetical AST in a different language that would have led to the same binary?
> What declined is will, which is a function of testosterone

That's a really interesting claim. Do you have any sources that explain this further?
That's just one example of nondeterminism in compilers though - at the end it's the responsibility of the compile to provide options not to do that.
One thing jumped out: many of the states with high rates of "always" lonely, also have high rates of "never" lonely. Many of these states are in the Sun Belt. The article ties those always rates to poverty, these are also states that have had a high in-migration in recent years.

Could this contradiction instead be that many of those who report being always lonely are those who have moved recently to the states, and who don't have the connection (often familial) that those who have been around longer, or who have stayed back in the "less lonely" states, have?

> For those arguing the guy is just massively dumb and naive, are you aware this depicts the character as even more dangerous to himself and society?

No, because he hasn't done anything actually dangerous to society, it's not like he bought anything that can be weaponized. Is he a danger to himself? Only insomuch as his actions have put him at risk of going to jail.

I'm not saying there should be no consequences, but the idea he is a danger to himself or society is totally absurd.

Good movies are still around

Compare 1997 to today.

Major hit after major hit was being released that year, and they were overwhelmingly original and creative. There had been a boom in independent filmmaking and many of the big production houses had started up smaller studios to attract the talent. Unfortunately, Hollywood did what Hollywood does and killed everything that made them good.

Nowadays, we have endless releases of super hero sequels that are, fundamentally, the same movie over and over. We have endless remakes and reboots because nobody wants to take a chance.

Yes, you can find creativity if you look hard enough, but in 1997 it was everywhere, and in your face. You can't pretend that it doesn't matter or that it doesn't mark an enormous shift in culture (business and society).
> create a ad-skipping device that uses so-called "artificial intelligence" to detect commercials during sports broadcasts and automatically mutes the tv.

OK so there are a couple of approaches to this issue, e.g. based on audio signal level, constant audio patterns, constant video patterns - and you don't really need to involve machine learning here. You can call it automation and it is perfectly fine.

People have been using the term "AI" in so many contexts for so many things that it's almost meaningless because it's so vague.
Who have also captured regulators and politicians and use them to cement their advantage by making things too costly and difficult for new startups to compete.

What's so bad about _Generic?

I would not let the name distract you - it's equivalent to overloading, not "generics" (i.e. parametric polymorphism)

In that capacity I think it's quite a lot more sane than C++. Having a closed set of overloads, not having name mangling, not having complex name lookup rules are all a good thing.

I believe it's not related to capability, but to how investment works. Aggregate demand is composed of consumption and investment (I'm referring to the global economy, combining both public and private expenditure). Investment is the money extracted by capitalist actors in the system that is reinvested to generate profits. These capitalist actors need an incentive (the promise of generating more money) to invest the money they have extracted, and this incentive is usually the latest hot technology.

For example, when the internet emerged, everyone wanted to be online; when smartphones appeared, everyone wanted to have an app; and when VR emerged, Facebook changed its name and lost half of its value in the stock market. Now, it's AI. Capitalists do not focus on the details of the technologies; to them, every new technology looks the same. They see new tech as a growing opportunity and old tech as a saturated market. Obviously, this perspective is flawed, but it doesn’t matter.

In my opinion, AI is not going to create more value. The only real impact it will have is reducing the amount of workforce needed to generate that value, which will ultimately push the economy into a recession. As consumption declines, I don’t see what new technology could come after AI to offset this effect through further investment.
Show HN: Bacalhau 1.7 – Run Anything, Anywhere
We just released Bacalhau 1.7 — a major update to our open-source distributed compute platform. This release makes it easier to run jobs wherever your data lives, whether you’re working with IPFS, S3, HTTP(S), or local files.

New in 1.7:
• Memory tracking for better observability
• Job include/exclude flags for tighter execution control
• Support for more generic data sources
• Swagger/OpenAPI docs for smoother integrations
• More robust logging and runtime intelligence

We built Bacalhau to simplify decentralized compute — think fast, local-style jobs across a distributed stack.

Here’s the blog post with details and demos:

Maybe I misread some of the article, but seems like younger people just "suck" at being alone? IE, older people are less likely to feel lonely when they're physically alone? I wonder if that's because older people are more likely to have a solo hobby - reading a book, knitting, whatever - and younger people are more likely to "doom scroll" online?
Mainly just when adding new features. For example, updating a trpc endpoint to return an additional field often requires updating other unrelated prisma queries just to satisfy the return types.

I get types are necessary, it just seems to me that they should only ever be defined once and in one place rather than defining any type you need anywhere you need it.
