I learned on Monday that he had spent the entire weekend trying and failing to prove it. I, on the other hand, had put all my energy into finding a counterexample and had one within an hour.
He spent an entire weekend before having the wisdom to pause, and let someone else contribute their time to finding a counter.
Yes, I have briefly done business with them as well. We also worked with Bekrar and Vupen briefly. Albeit, it was done through a broker. The second time around, we exited negotiations.
Just because they're exclusive about their clients doesn't mean they're not real. Their impact and effectiveness is a separate topic though. I don't think they're still actively operating or taking new clients, at least.
btw: "Oh, so you've done x?" What a snarky and confrontational way to ask someone something. Especially when it's asserting a well documented company and person is "not real".
where does it end
It still won't be as big of an issue for night sky photography, for reasons mentioned in the parent comment.
However, there are many other severe issues, of course. But for hobbyist and professional photography? Mitigable.
I can see a problem with 100x the current deployment, but the "other severe issues" kick in long before that, anyways.
Yes, but one is a vastly smaller issue than the status quo issues.
Starlink gets a lot of attention because it's new, and because it's run by a polarizing guy who sucks.
Meanwhile, the airplane and streetlight situation has been destroying night sky photography for decades, to the point where photographers consult charts and have communities tracking the best times of years to minimize the hours of driving you have to do.
But let's "both are real issues" it, sure.
They have an increasingly capable "simple" UI for casual users. It seems like improving it is on their roadmap, as they've been delivering vast improvements in functionality with each major release.
Also, shipping winbox on all platforms has been a huge QoL improvement
responding "if you can't be bothered to write it, I can't be bothered to read it" really sets people off. they get very mad and ive had some even use ai to tell me why that's wrong.
what differentiates you? you could tell me "type xyz into chatgpt" or even share a structured document link from their site. but when you're copy/pasting, then you're basically useless in the equation.
The comparison table is laughable.
"Best value": Over how many miles? A hybrid often has a lower TCO.
"Gas I4, proven": Maybe it's a skill issue, but I can't figure out which I4 they're using or if they DIY. Meanwhile, the "unproven" Ford hybrid system is pushing trucks to 200k miles on a regular basis. (of course, your mileage may vary but it seems like they did a great job with this)
There's other issues as well.
While true, modern implementations use hardware blocks for acceleration AND for just terminals, with spare displays, you'll likely be using lower resolutions at lower refresh rates.
We've used a series of n150 based mini PCs (priced at $200 each) to power three dashboard displays at the same time. I guess it's a matter of calculating power usage and figuring out how that translates over 4 years
"If you can't be bothered to write it, I can't be bothered to read it."
I don't have enough experience in those fields to really firm up a judgement from my perspective.
The act of creation not just creates, it informs you. For example, when placing a wall with CAD for architecture, maybe you realize that some walls on an non-level roof have visually unappealing or difficult wall/roof joints. And then you consider that for future designs? Or you pause and think further about how a person interacts with that room. You can see how the act of creation delivered meaningful feedback to you, as a person.
IDK that's just an example I could come up with, you should really ask an architect or ID guy
you're going to stagnate as a person
He's bragging about that, even. It's really grim.
I suddenly have the power and time to make things I enjoy.
You don't make. You ask the ai to make a song about some vague concept and then clap like a seal as it delivers you un-challenging and bias-confirming slop.
I think there’s going to be a hollowing out ... All that matters to me is that I like the song.
Everyone consumes, and nobody makes everything. But you're describing a future in which nobody makes anything and we all just suckle directly on the soft serve machine.
How grim.
If a human writes a novel, it's inherently worth more because it's hard-earned and anchored to experiences we share. I want to support that
I'd extend on this as well: the process of creating changes you. In a technical sense, where you approach a problem and the way you solve that problem informs you. Both your problem solving skills, creative skills, but also even understanding how a compromise works.
This is why I have minimal compunction about an experienced engineer using AI-assisted coding ("hey claude, define this data class") versus finding AI-art to be repugnant.
The act of creating an artistic work is both an expression, but also the act of ideating and then executing on that changes you. Experience, emotion, and other more intangible concepts.
Thanks for your contribution.
Apple likely needed a model that ran on their NPU natively.
- parakeet usually runs on Bfloat16. NPU doesn't support that
- CPU is not as fast as the NPU for these ops on A-series, and even on modern CPUs, there's a latency delay
- Parakeet latency is fine but "fine" may not be good enough for Apple's UX team.
- CPU increases power consumption over dedicated float blocks
So I would say that Parakeet was a non-option for Apple to ship, although it should be in the benchmarks anyways!
I have always enjoyed the gleeful pride which Ikea's marcom team has for simple, accessible products. It really speaks to a positive element of their corporate culture.
The stuff BMW ships is great. The ACC that I tried in a normal Toyota a few years ago was way worse. I'm a huge ACC fan but it really woke me up that I need to evaluate the vendors before I purchase the car.
You will find restaurants with it in LA, SF, and NY for sure. In SF there is an award winning restaurant named Lu Rou Fan, which should give you an idea of the food they serve.
I imagine any region with a large Taiwanese or Chinese population will have a restaurant that serves it (or the chinese version gai fan).
because the infotainment system and drivetrain isn't by that brand (which is toyota). the vehicle is, for most intents and purposes, a bmw.
I have a vehicle that's basically a BMW, which has excellent navigation integration with a HUD. Recently, they announced that my vehicle would receive map and software updates, for basically as long as the included modem was functional.
My vehicle doesn't support the carplay to hud stuff, but that's okay. The thing is... when my car stops getting map and traffic updates, I will still be able to switch to carplay for at least the command screen presenting information. I intend on keeping this vehicle for a long time, so that's important to me.
On top of that, carplay offers better bitrate than bluetooth.
For people that wish to keep a vehicle for a long time, carplay/android auto isn't just a convenience anymore. With the increased integration of headunits, aftermarket becomes a tougher sell.
He is not being modest. Sorry.
Modest describes someone who is unassuming about their abilities, or something that is limited in size, amount, or reach
Buying a 6 million dollar house is not unassuming.
You might find the history of "American Traditional" tattooing interesting, as well.
verkada (a building access systems company), had multiple incidents of stalking of employees by other employees, using their own installation in their own hq
none of them were cops
I would argue that a $1mil manhattan 1br isn't modest. You know, you can start to split hairs what modest means. Is that a modest living space? Sure. Is the privilege of living in manhattan immodest? I also think so.
But at least that's within the realm of "modesty". At least there's at least one element of modesty to it. It's not a multi story 6 million dollar home with a floor to ceiling double floor library.
It's still not modest. There's no way in which a $6 million dollar house is "modest".
Don't try to launder it through lying with percentages. It's not modest.
vi recently received an update. C23 compliance and some unicode fixes. it's a feature complete editor!
I have good friends in the AI industry who are the living embodiment of that Upton Sinclair quote.
"It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it."
You've never heard such strong one-sided cope until you've talked to an NVDA employee about AI. I'm not even against AI. It's just that a combination of intense financial incentives around a product that provides a good simulation of the Chinese Room has really fucked peoples brains up.
What for? Ethernet is what you ultimately need
Is answered in the comment you responded to:
because the off ramp is clearly happening for ethernet at 10gbit/s
As for
because that is what devices such as PCs and WiFi access points use
We are looking to the future. If you're putting stuff in the walls, then you should try to target something that will be adequate both today, and in 10 years from now.
Increasingly, prosumer stuff is including an SFP port. High end PCs will be shipping it in the near future, as well. And, while low-power chips are coming out, the simple fact is that physics are getting in the way.
I do think that the average home won't need more than 2.5gbps, pretty much indefinitely (an 8k video at "bluray quality" is about at most 5% of that bandwidth). But if you have any desire of going past 10gbps, Ethernet is not going to cut it.
And yes, before you ask, there is a 25gbase-t standard. Maximum distance: 30m (100ft). 100ft from panel to panel in a house? Oof.
Overwhelmed with consumption and attention seeking devices? Purchase another device!
To be fair, most people aren't a diplomat to Russia. So it's good to check but maybe this was a much more advanced case.
