My uncle works in the industry and was getting a new car recently. His two options were all electric or all ICE, because from his experience, EHEVs have the problems of both ICE and BEV vehicles.

His experience is biased because studies have shown that hybrids have fewer issues than pure ICE or pure BEV.

> But it seems that the pinnacle of human intelligence: the greatest, smartest, brightest minds have all come together to... build us another ad engine. What happened to superintelligence and AGI?

While we all knew it was inevitable, I think this quote from the article sums up the feeling nicely.


I don't get that part either. That's like saying "the brightest minds have all come together to... build us another thing that requires money." OpenAI is trying to make more money than they use to run ChatGPT. They are getting that money from their users, and soon advertisers too. They still need their users to like ChatGPT

That's why I always have a clear case on my Macbook I cover with stickers. That way, I can take them with me when I leave, or take them off if I have a big meeting/presentation!


I have this recollection of some framed / shadowboxed clear case covers that were covered in stickers. Either the laptop was replaced and the new model didn't fit... or the cover was filled up and a new one was used.

A way to keep the memories of that the stickers represent.


A lot of the chips have started including NPUs. How are applications supposed to access that acceleration now with embedded Linux? Does linux handle this for you, or do you need to leverage some specific drivers like CUDA?


Ideally things are going to adapt the Mesa Teflon framework. See here: https://docs.mesa3d.org/teflon.html

Available for NXP IMX8M, Amlogic A311D and RK3588


vendor-specific drivers are the norm. Usually on an obsolete kernel version which never gets updated.


Exactly. We've looked at using Wireguard at my company, but because it can't be made FIPS compliant, it makes it a hard sell. There is a FIPS Wireguard implementation by WolfSSL, interestingly enough.


It was interesting to see that they didn't show the robot folding laundry; rather, just it laying out the clothes.


There’s a scene about 2/3 through the first video where they show a brief clip of the robot folding and stacking a shirt. The quality and speed was roughly comparable to a 7-10 year old - slow and somewhat sloppy, but recognizably a folded shirt.


> Switch to someone who won't? And who would that be?

The issue is that it's not as simple as just "switching" and giving another company your money. How would you migrate your 5-10 years of Confluence pages and Jira tickets if you wanted to switch from Atlassian? You're going to put all of your members through the hassle of switching a booking service/payment process? You know you're being screwed, but the cost to switch is often more than the increased cost. The modern economy is balancing cost increases to your customers with the cost to switch to a competitor.


For me, it's the first true upgrade in the design of a phone in a long time. It's not a slightly better CPU or battery, but a different way to work with this key device in my life. I think it will be the default phone format in ~5 years, especially for younger people.


As mentioned by others, I think the art world has reached a major schism where there are two types of artists: those who target rich collectors and those who are more grassroots. I've been to a lot of the larger art shows in the US and it's always amazing to me how expensive so many of the pieces are. I couldn't even justify buying a cheaper piece I want on a software engineer's salary. Instead, I've found that local art fairs have been where so much of the growth is at. Things like Cherry Creek Art festival or the myriad of smaller markets around, you can find amazing artists selling interesting and beautiful works. Between markets and social media, there's a path to being a sustainable, working artist. And personally, I think being a collector of smaller artist's prints and works is more fun than the expensive ones!


That's what our genetic councilor said as well. It's important to note autism is a spectrum and quite varied, some of it genetic and some of it related to other factors.


I've read some studies which suggest there's a variety of genes which are linked to autism as well as link to both autism and ADHD. I believe those genes are linked to how different brain circuits interact.

It makes a lot of sense given with I've seen talked a lot about in autism and adhd groups, with some symptoms overlapping.
