It is obviously machine learning. It is a machine learning algorithm. It is taught in machine learning classes. It is described as a machine learning algorithm literally everywhere. Here's wiki:

> Linear regression is also a type of machine learning algorithm, more specifically a supervised algorithm, that learns from the labelled datasets and maps the data points to the most optimized linear functions that can be used for prediction on new datasets

The people opposing these things do themselves a serious disservice by conflating someone who attended the funeral of the top guy of a designated terrorist group with the biologist moving biomaterial between research labs.

Now every time I hear one of these stories I’m just waiting for the other shoe to drop and hear about how the frog biologist attended Prigozhin’s funeral (purely out of recognition for his work as a chef, of course)
Have you used an Editshare?
I don't think that distinction matters. Libraries can easily encapsulate data.

I think he's right - microservices are very often used in situations where a library is clearly the right tool for the job. In my experience the main reasons people don't use libraries are: a) the people in charge of the place where you should put the library are too territorial, so it becomes easier overall to start an entirely new project and deal with the very large downsides of microservices, and b) they want to use a different language, and disappointingly FFI over HTTP is usually easier than "true" FFI.
Zeiss in Germany is also an important supplier to ASML.

And the leading-edge fabs are dependent on suppliers other than just ASML: some of these suppliers are US companies that sell very-expensive software.
I'm a US scientist and the use of minimalist phone and a laptop is something I'm planning for all my travel.

This is for the simple reason that I have determined, based on a large body of cases that are accumulating at a disturbing rate, that the current US administration considers themselves "above the law". Furthermore, the administration has shown that they are eager to carry out actions that violate due process and freedom of speech against anyone they perceive as opposing their policies/views.

EDIT: I'm happy to document such cases for those who have not been paying attention, but I also encourage those who are doubtful to simply search the many examples that have been posted here on HN (unfortunately, many flagged in an attempt to suppress discussion).
Nothing these days "struggle(s) with a few editors accessing the same footage".

AVID hasn't been at the forefront of video editing since the Avid/1 / ABVB days. They sell a reasonably usable program with horrible hardware (since Meridien hardware - it's good they finally let us use other hardware such as BlackMagic), but never truly fix large problems. People therefore stay on a specific version of the software for ages, because everyone is scared of new and different bugs.

AVID's shared media offerings are tenfold the cost of other storage options simply because they have a flag on the mounted volumes that tells Media Composer to allow project and media sharing. "800MB pr box sustained" means nothing because anyone can do that easily with commodity hardware.

In other words, AVID is milking their cash cow and they really don't innovate or even try to offer a good product.

Apple, on the other hand, destroyed their professional editing products, then replaced them with decent tools, but ones that are worlds different. Many people have mixed feelings about this. On the other hand, if you want to edit 8K ProRes, Final Cut Pro makes it simple on any ARM-based Mac.
So, someone who chooses to undergo gender reassignment therapy can be judged based on the characteristics of all people who have made the same choice?

Someone who chooses to wear heavy makeup and revealing clothing while standing on the street waiting for their Uber can be fairly judged to be a prostitute?

I don't think this is the argument you're making, but this is how the standard you are setting can be applied.

I don't think the element of choice in identity elements makes a difference either way. I think you should just avoid overgeneralizing, period.

Instead of, you know, inventing reasons why is fine to overgeneralize when you want to, but not when you don't want others to.

> If it wears a police uniform it probably a) does bad stuff, b) enables cover-ups of that bad stuff, or c) lacks the courage to speak out against the bad stuff.

"Probably"? Based on what prevalence rate? What percentage of police officers engage in each of these behaviors? You're making a wild assumption here, likely with nothing more than your own anecdotal understanding of these issues.

I think it's more likely you just have a media diet that is high in examples of these behaviors happening, but without the context that explains exactly how often they're actually happening.

I'm not denying that these things happen, and happen frequently! But there are a lot of police officers in the US alone, and even 1% of them doing each of these things is a large number of absolute cases. But a rate of 1% isn't sufficient to generalize to the entire population. At a rate of 10%, I would probably still refrain from extrapolating to the whole, but would start to question individual interactions, and would start to be sympathetic to this kind of generalization.

But due to the lack of evidence around prevalence of bad behavior, I'm skeptical of anyone who generalizes to this degree, especially given the poor quality of information anecdotally collected from the Internet.

> People can choose to not adopt identity elements that have bad reputations. People can't choose not to be black.

If people never adopt identity elements that have bad reputations, how can those reputations ever be improved? If you want the quality of policing to improve, the last thing your want to do is convince everyone who wants to make a difference that they shouldn't even try. If you want policing to improve, you should be encouraging the best people you know to join up and to force out the bad behavior through reform.

People cannot choose to be black, but they can choose to make an effort to destroy the negative stereotypes associated with their race.

You seem to be arguing that generalizations are always externally imposed and immutable, neither of which is true. Your argument is actively damaging to any efforts to improve the perceptions of both groups.
> requirements in its EULA that seem designed to protect its hardware business above all else

To get this you have to understand Apple's business model. They sell style, quality, and exclusivity, and ease of use. They can't ensure those things if they separate the hardware from the software. I'm sure they would love to make money from software licenses without the hardware. But it would end up creating new problems that would dilute the value of their product.

The proof is in the pudding. They're the most valuable company in the world because of their limitations, not despite them.
It's not a non-sequitur. The usual reason people believe in a god is because some religious group says that the god exists. Those religious groups usually also claim that their god is good. If they're wrong about the goodness, why shouldn't they be wrong about the existence too?
This brings up a lot of memories. I got lost on the way to jazz school and studied CS instead. Still went to school on a partial music scholarship. Wound-up playing so much anyway that it killed my grades. Worked out in the end, lol.

If you have a copy of the "illegal" Real Book you'll notice that there are a lot of Steve Swallow tunes in there :-)

There are definitely people that look down on using the Real Books/iReal as a crutch. IMHO it's not a huge deal. But, it is widely encouraged to learn as many commonly called tunes as you can though. You can find lists of those in various places: https://www.shermusic.com/1883217040.php and https://www.shermusic.com/1883217482.php for example. The reason for that honestly is that you will find yourself in a scenario where something called isn't in your book. Popular chord changes get re-used a lot, so the more material you know can help you "figure out" the unknown tune quickly. Called tune just rhythm changes? Blues changes? So What/Impressions changes? etc.

I get where you're coming from, but I would think that relies on having a personal one-on-one connection rather than drive by comments. This forum is also much closer to the true believers who are well aware the goal isn't effective government, but rather to destroy our current society in favor of tech/corpo authoritarianism (which they think will be based on voluntary participation due to having defined away all of the ways in which it isn't).
Sunshine/Moonlight are awesome, but fwiw in this specific context it's worth noting that macOS support with Sunshine is still extremely experimental and janky. It's Homebrew only for now, and when I tried it out last the main release didn't install at all, only the beta. And then locally even over a 10 gig network while the image quality was great the latency was abysmal, even before other oddities. I will say this is enormous improvement over even a year ago, but given the initial gaming focused use case I suspect that (not at all unreasonably!) they've prioritized client capabilities when it comes to Macs for now.

Depends on what you consider a "difficult challenge". If the challenge is to remember certain algorithm, it's not worth it - coming up with djikstra without hint was fun the first time, but needing to remember the detail for the nth time isn't.

And for good measure, those stop having value in the future - as they can be referenced from AI as easily as looking up how to convert a date format or center a div.

> This seems to propose that IT systems deal with the sheer amount of variability a living organism has to contend with on a daily basis. I don't think it's a fair comparison.

Might they not? I think measuring such things would be near impossible, but a human body does interact with a generally specific set of variables on a day-to-day basis, and breaks down when new variables are introduced - like when you travel to a new place and pick up a local bug that you have to get used to.

At least IT systems can generally disregard variables they don't recognize.
I use Keynote to make my presentations, and one time I wanted to build a presentation with someone else. I asked my friend who has worked at Apple for 20 years, "How do you guys build Keynote presentations together? There doesn't seem to be an easy way to do that?".

He said, "We don't collaborate at Apple because of the (perceived) risk of leaks. None of our tools are built for collaboration". Apple is famously closed about information sharing, to the point where on some floors every office requires its own badge, and sometimes even the cabinets within.

So it doesn't surprise me that their video editing tools are designed for a single user at a time.

Edit: This happened about six years ago, they have since added some collaboration tools, however it's more about the attitude at Apple in general and why their own tools lag on collaboration.

Edit 2: After the replies I thought I was going crazy. I actually checked my message history and found the discussion. I knew this happened pre-COVID, but it was actually in 2013, 12 years ago. I didn't think it was that long ago.

Trump was elected by the whole US population. Why does a judge, who was not elected by the entire US population, is able to block the democratically elected president? To me, it sounds like the judges are the ones "destroying democracy" as they are blocking the will of the people.

What has Trump done to take away votes from people? Every election is still happening. US citizens are still able to vote.
> Also, enticing Europeans to move to the US is exceedingly easy. You ask, “do you want to 4X your current salary with 20% less taxes?” The answer is usually yes.

I don't really understand why people make claims like that. To me it's obvious that the vast majority of people are not particularly motivated by money. They would like to have more money, but once they have reached the standard of living common in developed countries, they are not willing to make the kind of life choices that would give them more money.

Finnish nurses are a good example. They would have a better standard of living in Norway. As Finnish citizens, they have a subjective right to live and work there, even stronger than in the EU. The language would be easy to learn. The culture and the society are very similar. And it's close to Finland, making it easy to visit your friends and family any time. But few nurses actually move there, because most people need better reasons than money for moving to another country.

Right, because the entire US/Israeli/NATO apparatus isn't responsible for terrorizing and murdering tens of _thousands_ of children in Palestine. No, that is a just execution of children, surely, at least that's what a dutiful netizen believes.
To be clear, I'm answering this purely from a personal standpoint and not talking about any particular employer, and this doesn't relate to this specific issue at all.

Yes, I totally agree. The point of processes is to enable a company to manage huge amounts of potential work. Sometimes, processes can get in the way of just doing the simple thing we all know needs to be done.

Buuuut, I've been on the other side of that, too. Someone asks me to make some change. Sure! That's a reasonable idea and it would improve things. Making the change would take about 20 minutes. However, 437 different systems expect that thing to have its current behavior, and updating them to use the new behavior would be quite the project. In a vacuum, the change is simple and shouldn't take long to implement. Not many things operate in a vacuum, though.

For example, it would take like 5 minutes to do a "find all" in the Nginx source code and fix the misspelling of "referrer" as "referer". It would take a lot longer to update the standards with the correct spelling, and every client and other server to use it, would be slightly more challenging.

These projects are not done to solve “real problems”, they are done as educational engineering challenges and playgrounds. Of course a modern microcontroller does everything and much much more, but it is also extremely opaque, and even the ones considered “simple” nowadays might not be fully understandable in every single aspect by just a single person.

Now, nothing prevents you from still using a 6502 based project for “real problems” as well, and it’s fun to use your pet project for something practical every once in a while, but that’s usually not the focus. The focus is learning, building, intentionally reinventing the wheel so to speak.

In my previous comment to you, I mentioned how Ben Eater made a self-designed CPU in his excellent video series, before switching to the 6502 to explore higher abstraction layers. In that case it may be more obvious that the focus was on designing the CPU itself, not on any a priori application use case for it.

Because it's not a request format for LLMs, it's a request format for client software that is instrumenting LLMs. If you make a connector to say HomeAssistant to turn on/off your lights you're exposing a tool definition which is really just a JSON schema. The agent will present that tool to the LLM as one it's allowed to use, validate that the LLM matched your change_light_state tool schema and send off the appropriate API call to your server.

The spec is genuinely a hot fucking mess that looks like a hobby project by an overeager junior dev but conceptually it's just a set of JSON schemas to represent common LLM things (prompts, tools, files) and some verbs.

The useful content of the spec is literally just https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/specification/blob/m... and even then it's a bit much.
