I wonder how a TWIN system with 2 cars per shaft factors in here: https://www.tkelevator.com/us-en/products/elevators/all-elev...

That will need planning and assignment I guess? But at what load figures does it become more efficient?

How so?

And in English: https://x.com/denic_de/status/2051779740080521646

It says "Server Not Found" now

You mean what Vista introduced?

I installed another app on my S10 to enable this. It's called "Wi-Fi Hotspot" and it works pretty well

Why? Because Starlink. Starlink requires airlines to offer it for free (apparently, for now), and the airlines that have started offering it are making a big deal out of it because it's actually usable compared to a lot of the LEO- or ground-based offerings before.

United was looking to have its regional fleet done by end of this week, Qatar has finished their 777s; Hawaiian's entire fleet is done, so is airBaltic's. WestJet are also close.

British Airways is starting the rollout now, so are SAS, Air France and a few others.

If you solve the boom component, can you just keep going West? London, NYC, LA, Tokyo, Singapore, Dubai, London?

What, in your mind, is the "product" here? The one that's been discontinued?

OP acknowledges that it can "create". It can create "endless waffle, drivel, pointless rambling, and hallucinations". So if you're in the business of that, AI can replace you ;)

Do you think that's a bad thing?

writing code != building things.

In my org, seniors spend a lot less time building things: writing components, etc. They do spend a lot of time navigating office politics. But they are engineering specific office politics: how does system A interact with system B? What are the architectural implications? Ownership of long term data and technical and business strategies?

The "art" of negotiation can be ass-kissing but quite often genuinely with the goal to advance the projects they own and the enablement of the "people who actually build things", which at some point also involves the seniors. You need to build raport and relationships to negotiate seriously.

Part of the reason why Crowdstrike have access, why MS wasn't allowed to shut them out with Vista was a regulatory decision, one where they argued that somebody needs to do the job of keeping Windows secure in a way that biased Microsoft can't.

So, I guess you could have some sort of escrow third party that isn't Crowdstrike or MS to do this "audit"?

So updating the rules is not the same as updating the software? Who says this is different here? How do you define the difference between a "tax rule" and business logic?

The changes go beyond tax band thresholds and percentages across NIC & IT. Eg the (now-scrapped) Health & Social Care Levy would've been a completely new tax - you need a complex schema to encode that and even then the Treasury will come up with something you haven't thought of next.

Arlanda feels like another good example of a "far out" (23 mi) airport that works pretty damn well. 18 minutes on the train.

That's not true. "strictly necessary cookies" are allowed without consent (but information on their use must be available).

Examples for what that means given by the EU itself [1] include "cookies that allow web shops to hold your items in your cart while you are shopping".

And on the policing - there are a lot of laws that cannot be "policed". It requires trust, goodwill, collaboration and savy users to report violations to the webmaster or relevant ICO.

Airbnb's Lottie has a Web Player now I think? Make your animation in AE or Figma, export to "Lottie JSON" with players in JS, Swift, Kotlin & React Native.

There's general public access to somewhere in the BT Tower? Do you have more info on that?

"the population of the country would be quick to disapprove" - now you've got me curious. Who would be disapproving? I doubt US population would care much for a Boeing Swapout, or Europe for an Airbus one. Embraer is from Brazil, but I don't think LATAM even has any. Does the Eastern world care more?

Or is it a model thing? Noise/pollution thing? Are you flying to some small island nation with special planes?

Without internet access?

How does the time system relate to the clock-in expectation? Otherwise you would have 60 seconds to do it in, which feels like not much more time?

For Nest Protect (the smoke alarm), if you try logging in with a workspace account it just won't let you. Had to resurrect a very old, unused Gmail account just for that.

We're not talking about putting the pictures into ChatGPT here.

Anyway, from their tests using standard CNN practices: "Our best model achieved on the test set an F1 score of 0.97 (accuracy = 97.5%) for the classification task and a R2 score of 0.84 (RMSE = 21.9 m, or about 1 image pixel) for the length-estimation task."

Oops, sorry, yes you're right, I think. I was skimming the lists of prompts incorrectly.

Looks like Microsoft people have had access to it to benchmark promptbase: https://github.com/microsoft/promptbase

The Bard responses in the chat have a little icon next to them on the left. Mine still says PaLM2, so I'm assuming no Gemini here. (UK/Firefox)

That's what people said even after the original iPhone was announced. I think there's a famous interview with the RIM boss who basically said "energy requirements make this design impossible" in 2007, and yet, it actually came out and worked a few months later.

This is just plain obvious. Not sure it'll be part of the '23 lineup; WWDC does not showcase new iPhone hardware features, but they have the hardware ready and miniaturised enough for the headset; if it doesn't make it's way to the Pro iPhones by '24 at the latest I'd be very surprised.

The sports clips and experiences are also not captured by people with headsets standing on the sideline; I'm not sure why a lot of commenters see this as the bleak new future?

Seeing that this product is not targeted at the US and might never even make it there, I'm not sure that's relevant. A4 documents will either be cut off or squished into a smaller space to fit all, so the proportions of the screen are also not really relevant when that's the proportions of the document.

Plenty of things aren't necessarily evidences. Just because you have access to account statements telling you you got a bunch of money coming in from person X for provision of service Y and a matching contract doesn't mean that the contract has been fulfilled or that the service was worth the money.

Same with picking a supplier - there are processes in place that try to assess quality, speed, price, effort, etc, but in the end it's humans making decisions, humans with bias and the ability to lie and make untrue statements as to how they made their decision.

Then there are the usual money laundering techniques, eg art dealing. You could easily spend a few million $$ on art for, say, a big office. And the VP's niece might be an artist that can demand that on the open market.

I think that's it. I had half an hour to kill in a cafe yesterday, didn't bring my kindle, and I thought "if there were compact AR or even VR glasses that I could whip out to emulate a full-size working environment, that would be super handy right now".

Having said that, for me to spend money on it it would (a) also be able to realistically replace my set up at home, which currently consists of 2 HiDPI screens and (b) not be that much more expensive than what that cost me.
