Universal Studios baby dragons did it better.

If you totally alter the character model to fit the envelope of a Boston Dynamics Spot/similar "dog robot', sure.

This is how "science" works in the postmodern world. It's not about predicting, it's about implement, problem, solve.

The encryption debate is the same as the gun debate. The tools are politicized because it's the easy thing for lawmakers to make it look like they're taking action. As the report warns, the deployed laws have negative consequences.

Outlaw all guns and make end-to-end encryption illegal doesn't stop GRU dropping novichok perfume bottles around england.

"Trust" and "AI" are mutually exclusive. Not really impressed with this guy. My guess is the board vetted this guy to be more politically correct than anything else.

I never took d-bus seriously because they said that when dbus was updated you could not just restart the dbus daemon, you were required to hard reboot.

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any questions and answers about why bcachefs isn't in the kernel? It was but now it isn't. There was some hemming and hawwing about "testing"?

Kent wasn't willing to play ball with how kernel dev gets done because of uh, personality differences, so he was booted from the mainline kernel. Linus's house, Linus's rules.

I'm here to talk filesystems and technical topics, not to take part in or stir up drama. There's been more than enough of that.

This is hacker news, not drama queen news :)

Also the matter has been discussed here in detail when it broke the news a couple months ago so yeah focusing more on the technical merit is much more interesting IMO

I was just trying to fill in a chap with a couple-sentence summary of what happened, since they asked, without trying to poke a hornet's nest.

> This is hacker news, not drama queen news

Same thing.

Nonetheless, I do hope that when development slows down and time has passed, you get it upstreamed again.

Ah yes. The christmas ad that has nothing to do with christmas. There's also a fish dish the wolf makes... great attention to detail there.

The family were sitting around the table eating dinner while the kids was getting a story read to him about the present he just received. Nothing Christmasy about that at all.

It is all about Christmas and New Year: cooking good healthy food for the extended family, and new year's resolutions.

The ad illustrates the Christmas spirit and fish is a Christian religious symbol and actually traditional at Christmas in some countries and areas. I don't know if they did it on purpose in this ad or just because it would obviously not have worked for the wolf to bring a meat dish.

I was confused because one of the characters tells the wolf he might have more friends if he didn't go around killing animals all the time. Then the wolf starts making vegetarian dishes, and I thought, okay, they're promoting vegetarianism. Great. But then later the wolf is killing fish, and that's ...okay I guess because they don't talk or walk like the other animals? The speciesism hit hard.

Around me, the online grocery shopping and pickup is still pretty popular post-covid. There's always a worker or two going around the store picking up for the online orders, so there's room here for some type of site-local automation (not remote robotic fulfillment centers, i could of told you that would be way too costly comparatively).

However, robotics that can navigate an existing retail grocery store is not here. yet.

"...their deals are unprecedentedly only for raw wafers — uncut, unfinished, and not even allocated to a specific DRAM standard..."

wtf. life sucks.

That $7 trillion number makes more sense now.

It makes no sense to design for llm's. Do what makes sense for the reader and forget that llm's exist at all.

What prompted this and why does it not?

It's not the 19th Century. You don't need to punch holes in cards to help the machine "think" any more.

> You don't need to punch holes in cards to help the machine "think" any more.

That's literally what "prompt engineering" is, though.

"Transpose this MIDI file down a third" requires neither a specialized data format nor fancy prompt engineering. ChatGPT asked: "A) Major third up (+4 semitones) or B) Minor third up (+3 semitones)" then did it.

I still don't understand how this or the top level comment are related to the post.

I also don't get how you can claim we don't have to 'punch holes in cards to help the machine "think"', and also mention a MIDI file in your next comment. MIDI is much closer to punch cards than the proposed file format in the post.
