Seems quite absurd that they would shut down the only system that could tell journalists what was actually happening in the criminal courts under the pretext that they sent information to a third-party AI company (who doesn’t these days). Here’s a rebuttal by one of the founders i believe: https://endaleahy.substack.com/p/what-the-minister-said
This seems like an interesting approach and automating visitor qualification is definitely useful. But quick question though, once you drop in that “single line” of code, how soon can a team expect to see their first qualified leads?
Unfortunately I’ve seen some use it for rage baiting purposes then catching peoples reaction without the knowledge that they are being filmed, but on the bright side I guess it’s useful for travelling without looking like an obnoxious tourist/influencer with their phones out constantly
From personal experience (London based), I’ve seen a least 2 meta x rayban shops in high traffic areas, which never seem to be empty. Adding to that, recently on social media someone expressed a similar sentiment until they saw what the glasses themselves look like, then realized they looked like ordinary glasses and are undistinguishable if the recording light is covered by black masking tape
Good post, bit too “mathy” but makes me think of “Asynchronous computing @Facebook: Driving efficiency and developer productivity at Facebook scale”. Where they touch on capacity optimization (queuing + time shifting), capacity regulation along with user delay tolerance (bc not all jobs, even at the same priority level, are equal)
Really great introductory article on color space in general, I really appreciate that they touched on perceptual uniformity and how we all perceive colors differently. It’s great to find out that applications like Oklab came out recently to fix this by manipulating the distances between colors to try compensate for human perception while also being more straightforward to calculate so that it can be used in real-time applications. Also the UI of this blog post was so aesthetically pleasing, that it was worth burning my retinas with the light mode
Not that surprising that things have gotten to this point, just a few days ago schools in Florida were testing a new drone defense system against shootings. Between see-through backpacks, armed teachers, metal detectors, and other things you’d think it would be more easier to severely restrict firearm access to under 21 year olds and make the parents criminally liable if they are found to have facilitated access in any way in the wake of a shooting. But yeah i guess dipping into online conversations and immediately notifying both school officials and law enforcement is a good solution (/j)
‘Berény is likely to have painted Sleeping Lady with Black Vase from 1927 to 1928, by which time he had returned to Budapest, in his native Hungary, from Berlin where he had fled following World War I.The painting was last seen in public in 1928 when it exhibited at the Ernst Museum before being sold.The buyer is likely to have been Jewish and left the country in the lead up to or during World War II. Hungary was turbulent during this period and the painting was considered lost’. Sad to see a painting with such history ending up in a private collection, also considering that its some of Bereny’s best work too
The quantity & quality of a child's diet determines how fast they age & their health later in life, its just crazy that US children now get 2/3rds of their energy from ultra-processed foods that are designed to be hyper-palatable & maintain hunger. Unfortunately, there’s just a lot of misinformation out there as it relates to diet (food pyramid being one of the most egregious examples). For one, although most ultra processed foods are bad, some can be actually beneficial for those with medical issues.
‘Considering the pool of available IPv4 addresses has been exhausted for quite a while now, and was running out for public use years ago’ I thought it was logical that most systems that have adopted IPv6. Crazy to think that it turns out it wasn’t, but shout out to apple and their stringent dev requirements bc they require support IPv6-only networks.
This seems great! Would love to join however I can only seem to find the 2008 and 2012 pdf of The Art of Multiprocessor Programming for free, is there a link for the 2020 version?
While I do believe its important to replace legacy and bloated tech in the military to make it more efficient (esp less costly), I doubt the ROI will be able to make up for it/ will be hard to measure effectively considering how hard it is to conduct fully transparent audits. Even if they say that the new agreement would consolidate existing software contracts and lead to “significant cost efficiencies across mission-critical programs.” Also what happened to reducing the gov. deficit?? Very confusing
Considering the breakdown of all the elements that went into it and the meticulous attention to detail, it’s not surprising that the creation of this logo took around half a year to complete. Golitzen really embraced the Art Deco movement and was also a storyboard artist for NANA in 1934, but its hard to find any illustrations online, what i can find is a mention of his name in a MOMA art/cinema expo from the late 70s https://www.moma.org/documents/moma_press-release_327139.pdf
‘Here is how platforms die: first, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die.’ This is really well put and just sad to witness great business with an idealistic vision fall prey to that cycle time and time again. I do agree with krugman that death isn’t the end of the cycle though, and that instead they just exist in a state of limbo/stagnation, where the user base stops growing, but not at an alarming stage that could lead to bankruptcy or other death like scenarios
There is no free lunch when VC money is involved, and the new weekly rate limits in Claude code now are just the latest example of that. I knew there was going to be a rugpull and it definitely changes the psychology of using it when you know you could be locked out for multiple days. Also saying that "Less than 5% of users are affected" = anyone actually USING this tool for real work...
