The interviews revealed that data scientists sometimes get distracted by the latest developments in AI and implement them in their projects without looking at the value that it will deliver.
At least part of this is due to resume-oriented development.
Sorry I wasn’t being clear. AC is used for connecting within areas of densely populated cities, e.g. British National Grid. If we are talking about really long distances (> hundreds of kilometers), HVDC is indeed preferred.
I was talking about a trend of some factories replacing AC from power grids (possibility generated in nearby cities) with DC from solar panels on their rooftops. So it’s a long distance compared to that.
Power grids would mean long distance power transmission, so AC has an advantage. If the point of consumption is near the point of PV generation, DC can and is already being used.
I know factories with solar panels on their rooftops to cut down power bills and instead of converting to high voltage AC, a custom-built DC power system is used.
From my understanding, MV3 kills vital features of ad-blockers in that
Wikimedia Foundation (the org behind the Wikipedia and similar projects) does get more donations than their operational cost, but that’s expected. The idea is that they’ll invest the extra fund[1] and some day the return alone will be able to sustain Wikipedia forever.
Although, some have criticized that the actual situation is not clearly conveyed in their asking for donation message. It gives people an impression that Wikipedia is going under if you don’t donate.
Others also criticized that the feature development is slow compared to the funding, or that not enough portion is allocated to the feature development. See how many years it takes to get dark mode! I don’t know how it’s decided or what’s their target, so I can’t really comment on this.
They publish their annual financial auditions[2] and you can have a read if you’re interested. There are some interesting things. For example, in 2022-2023, processing donations actually costs twice as much as internet hosting, which one would expect to be the major expense.
The link to the study is just a “Paid Search Ad” page. Ouch for the professionalism of Forbes.
They tried to build this abomination in London and it got shot down.
Basically it’s two people saying “Is it falling? Wouldn’t it explode? I’m recording it. Fuck the rocket is falling!”
From 5-8 seconds, the person seems to be saying争着争着中火大了, which doesn’t mean anything to me, but it may be something of the local dialect.
The Chinese Great Firewall (GFW) has already been using machine learning to detect “illegal” traffics. The arms race is moving towards the Cyberpunk world where AIs are battling against an AI firewall.
It’s not that the author picked Rust for scripting. All Rust game engines (e.g. Bevy) use Rust as the scripting language.
Compare this with Godot, which is implemented in C++, but supports GDScript and many other languages for scripting.
Also, only supporting Rust is not considered a limitation, but a feature here. Bevy’s ECS is tied up with Rust’s trait system, therefore it’s impossible to use a different language.
So if Rust as a system programming language should not be used for game scripting, then projects like Bevy are fundamentally flawed. The author is willing to go there, but I don’t know if many people would go that far.
There could be a Godot-like engine written in Rust that supports easier scripting languages, but I think that space is not explored due to the fact that Godot already exists.
In some sense yes, but advertising for its own stuff is advertising too. It nudges you to use their whole ecosystem.
The most annoying thing for me is that you can’t remove the iTunes component in mission control (the settings deck).
What? That’s literally a feature I got with a plugin. YouTube feels so much better without the algorithmic reinforced “hype” videos with no content and it’s good for your mental health too.
At least in the UK, if you work like an employee enough, the court can overrule the technicality of your employment status as a contractor and apply labor law protections.
The paper only says it’s a collaboration. It’s pretty large scale, so the opportunity might be rare. There’s a chance that (the same or other) researchers will follow up and experiment in more schools.
