This is the best explanation I have ever heard.

Can't you host your own extension marketplace?

Why does Google benefit from httpsdns?

I like my framework, I dropped it from about 4feet onto concrete, the corder was dented and the fingerprint scanner broke. I spent the 100 dollars to get a new keyboard/trackpad/fingerprint sensor cover panel

(the dent location and warping of the panel made replacement of the fingerprint sensor individuallly not viable)

Past that everything still worked fine, no damage to screen (but that is just my particular drop)

I like it, and would rather have higher specs that can be fixed if shit happens than paying a premium for durability on older hardware.

With regards to the mansion, doesn't the (state) government already do that with property taxes?

So I am a neophite in this area, but my thesis for why "this time is different" compared to previous AI bubbles is that this time there exist a bunch of clear products (or paths to products) that work and only require what is currently available in terms of technology.

Coding assistants today are useful, image generation is useful, speach recognition/generation is useful.

All of these can support businesses, even in their current (early) state. Those businesses have value in funding even 1% improvements in engineering/science.

I think that this is different than before, where even in the 80s there were less defined products, amd most everything was a prototype that needed just a bit more research to be commercially viable.

Where as in the past, hopes for the technology waned and funding for research dropped off a cliff, today's stuff is useful now, and so companies will continue to spend some amount on the research side.

So I get pixel because of security and less software bloat, along with good custom ROM support.

That being said, at least for me, my phone is the device I spend the most time with, whether articals, emails, books, podcasts etc.

It is at least 5 hrs a day.

This is probably an argument to spend less time on my phone, but the will is weak.

But if I am spending a significant percentage of my waking life interacting with this single electronic device, a price difference of 500 dollars is not much, especially amortized over a 3 year period.

I would trust Al pastor (the food) more than this thing with my spiritual needs.

Is there a reason why we need to make ai as dystopian as possible?

The Finn's are terrifying, held off the Russian invasions multiple times with a much smaller population, and were able to stay independent despite a 1000+ km border.

So this was published a year and a half ago? Is there a reason it did not catch on?

I hope the glut will spur a bunch of research that is currently not possible outside large labs.

Also to be fair, many people would prefer death compared to being what seems to be almost paralyzed.

If there is an experiment that has only 5 % chance of success, many will take it.

Is it? I mean he was discussing it with his vice president and members of his cabinet.

If a president discusses with his cabinet how to fight a war in a way that is possibly illegal (and then orders it), that is an official act, executing illegal actions, and is immune.

What is the difference between that and preventing the transfer of power to your political opponent?

Especially since now parts of your activity's are "official" and cannot be mentioned in court, and part of your activities are not official which are potentially prosecutable, see Barrett's arguments.

Got to love it when supreme court creates all these exiting new laws.

It might be a violation of the law and clearly illegal, but that does not mean it is not an official act for which the president is immune.

It may be unlawful, and it may fail because lower level officers refuse. But it seems like in that case the president cannot be charged. Lower level officers that go along with it could, but the president has the ability to pardon them.

So even if I some case they fail, there are no consequences so people can try again.

Yes there is also political considerations, but if the president feels confident enough to plan assainations of a rival, or for instance a coup with others in the executive branch, then he must feel he has that handled.

What does the latency look like with this?

They are just saying they will close your account if they catch you and feel like it.

I believe the company behind this shit down at the end of 2023

Wouldn't you also have to take into account the probability of the following moves also being successful and giving you a win?

I did this for my senior design project a few years ago.

We had 4 raspberry pis with mic arrays. They were time synced over a wifi mesh network (indoor so no GPS). Each had a detector running, and would send detection segments to a base station to run generalized cross correlation.

It worked pretty well, but we were doing it in room scale 20' environments. Our biggest issue was that we could not disambiguate echos, and had to hack in a hold off period.

We did not end up having time but I wish we could have gotten beamforming working on each pis microphone array, then we could have combined angle of arrival with tdoa, and potentially better handled the echo.

I like my framework laptop, and while my particular main board seems to have issues, their support seems good.

I started getting weird boot issues recently, and after doing some heavy diagnosis, they are sending me a replacement mainboard, I'll replace it, and send my broken one back.

Granted it is within warranty, and it was a week of back and forth with their support.

But it is miles above dell consumer support, that I had to send my laptop off multiple times (going without for months) and then they don't even fix it.

Maybe as a prototype? It's pretty low risk, worst case scenario they screw up some things on Minecraft and it's stupid.(Assuming it does not go off the reservation ala Sydney)

I could imagine using it as a source of training/experience on how to practically create a help bot without having to worry about anything that actually matters.

Since it is a video game they can also probably put in a lot of analytics on whether they are useful (did you follow the directions to make the diamond sword)

My thoughts process is that this is all less than 2 years since chatgpt hit, and while a bunch of people can see the edges of practical use cases, people are still trying to figure out how to productionize things.

Long term I integration with office/complex programs would be amazing, imagine being able to ask in natural language to fix the formatting in a particular way without having to spend 15 minutes looking it up. (Thinking back to when I originally did my resume formatting)

Maybe it is, somewhere I'd the depths of the void there is a giant planet sized llm, with cotton candy neurons.

If you are worried about the Russians stealing your computer to decrypt the hard drive, you should be expected to have solid understanding of where all the potential decryption keys are kept.

I personally am happy for my Microsoft account to contain a copy. Yes it is an issue if I were to need security from a government, (either from subpoena or espionage). But it provides a very convenient backup of the recovery key, and security from random theft, which is my actual concern.

Also you can disable backing up the keys if you want to. People who need security from state level actors should be expected to take responsibility for proper configuration themselves.

My general thought (as a layman) is that there are currently thousands of really smart people looking for that new approach. The researchers in the field is saturated, with many who in other times would have been physicists or chemists or mathematicians now focusing on ML.

As long as there is a will from industry to pay, they will continue looking. And there are so many incredibly valuable low hanging fruit that are more engineering challenges currently, that I don't think overall funding for research in the field will dry up anytime soon.

20 million dollar super computer? So that's 500 h100s?

Wouldn't it be better to have Microsoft put some gpus on gov cloud?

Would it make more sense to have a generic statement, where one could do more dei side or it could be reaching out to undergraduates.

Basically, a "aside from your teaching and research ability, what have you done to improve your campus that would make us want to hire you"

It's much more ambiguous, on what is valuable.

(I have no idea what the hiring process is like, just a random thoughts)

>And no one seems to be ready to let Germany lead

Including the Germans.

Why in the world does the head unit manage temp readings. Did they just wire the temp sensor all the way to the console?

So do we know what the cause of the 500 ms slowdown was?

It seems crazy to me that they spend so much time keeping this hidden and then never check for performance degradation.
