The sample is "1,502 U.S. adults from Jan. 25 to Feb. 8, 2021, by cellphone and landline phone" if this is the same survey as linked in this article

it links to this methodology document in the "How we did this" dropdown:

I agree with your point. Do they account for the number of Americans that don't have a phone at all somehow or should the real headline be "97% of American adults that can be called by cellphone or landline own a cellphone or smartphone"?

Instead of an S3 bucket you can use GitHub Pages. You push stuff to the upstream git repo and it gets deployed. It’s free (you have to pay for GitHub Pro if you don’t want to make the source code publicly available) and comes with Fastly CDN if I recall correctly. You just have to configure your custom domain.

I think if any large player in the market or the entire market acts in any sort of trivially predictable way then you can extract money from it by manipulating it.

Flying machines seem unsafe because the pilot has limited control. Birds can quickly change the shape of their wing more drastically than planes or hang gliders, so there are less unrecoverable situations.

If many of these thousands of tech people start just spending their large savings and not working, that could lead to more inflation.

If we’re going to change the timestamp let’s do it correctly this time and start counting from 0001-01-01 (like “ticks” in C#) or 0000-01-01 because adding another number (1970) for other people to have to learn about and memorize is bad design and unnecessary overhead and one subgroup of one profession naming a whole time epoch was kind of pretentious. It would also have the added benefit of being hard to confuse a value in this timestamp with a Unix timestamp.

iPads predict user input https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/touches_pres... . Did they do this back when this article was written or is this a newer thing that lets them get to even lower user perceived latencies than 30ms?

In general, predicting user input to reduce latency is a great idea and we should do more of it, as long as you have a good system for rolling back mispredictions. Branch prediction is such a fundamental thing for CPUs that it's surprising to me that it doesn't exist at every level of computing. The JavaScript REPL's (V8's REPL) "eager evaluation" where it shows you the result of side-effect free expressions before you execute them is the kind of thing I'm thinking about https://developer.chrome.com/blog/new-in-devtools-68/#eagere...

I do wish I could put a SIM card in my Macbook and not have to buy a phone.

It seems like there's no good license that places absolutely no restrictions or requirements on people using your code (such as attribution and respecting patent rights) worldwide.

I want my code to be used the way people treated text in the old days. There's texts that have been re-written, added to and edited by thousands of people over the centuries and yet they don't come with thousands of pages of attribution notices because why would they?

And Lightning is physically a better connector.

If you can “film” videos without film, why not post a GIF without a .gif?

We shouldn't call this open source. The model definition + the data is the source code. The model weights are a compilation artifact.

> The source code must be the preferred form in which a programmer would modify the program. [...] Intermediate forms such as the output of a preprocessor or translator are not allowed.

If I asked a programmer from OpenAI to modify the model to better support Japanese speakers from Hokkaido, their "preferred form" of the model's source code would include the 680,000 hours of audio used to train the model.

Yes that means that there are almost no open source models and yes it's awesome that they released this and made the weights available. Just don't call it open source.

If it's just for fun and not a lot then the enjoyment she gets is probably worth more than the thing being stolen and the negative externalities of it. Some men do martial arts to practice violence, if she wants to practice thievery and it's not really hurting anyone then it's not great, but why not? We all have thieves in our family tree.

And you can reasonably guess that the "incident" it will create will be proportionate to the value of the thing being stolen. If you cause a scene over someone else not paying for a $2 candy bar, you're the asshole.

It's not possible to perform any action without using energy, so why not just say "No one has the moral authority to tell [me] what is a good or bad."?

At Google and many other tech companies, internal machines are configured to have go/<whatever> work just like you describe. Looks like someone even made a whole company around it

It is, but I’m disappointed that it’s flagged because regardless of how much we might dislike it, it’s still a common view.

Programming is more powerful the more people you do it for. Writing software for one user is rarely the most effective thing you could be doing with that skillset.

> how many engineers are going to publish their FOSS with a “using this as AI training input is forbidden” clause

That clause would make their software not Free and Open Source by definition.

What if the variable is used for array indexing and something else, like displayed to the user?

You should show me all 10 of my guesses at the end. And something that'll tell me how much better I am than everyone else.

You can also use this from the command line with

To expand on your last sentence, you need to open System Settings > Accessibility > Spoken Content > click on the System Voice: drop down > click Customize... and then click "Download", otherwise all the voices are still that old school robot voice.

I'll buy an ebook but read a copy from LibGen because that version doesn't have my email address as the first sentence of every page. It's hard to read books instead of doing something more entertaining, this minor annoyance doesn't help.

Or if the majority of people running the blockchains (nodes or miners) write code to never accept transactions involving that contract or roll back the chain to before that contract was deployed or any number of things.

The only "FFI" I've seen people actually use is writing a command line tool with C++ and calling it with the subprocess library.

There's a small chance that there's only 5 people left in the future, so you should do it while it's guaranteed to not wipe out the human race.

I don't consider Copilot to be stealing code.

Do you guys ever think there's more to life than being really really really ridiculously well compensated?
