It can't be coincidence that a few weeks ago users wanted to twist grok's arm and make it post right-wing aligned answers/opinions, but grok itself said it's programmed for unbiased/factual answers (for what it's worth). This is probably a test run gone wrong to make grok more aligned with Musk's opinions.

> It just "happens" to be also available to select for the end-user after product-launch

RAW (any format) is an essential requirement for many photographers. You just can't get the same results out of a jpeg.


None of this is disputed (or relevant) in this conversation


I disagree. Bufferoverflow frames raw formats as something that's really only there for R&D purposes, and it's more or less just an afterthought that it's available to photographers. In reality, Narretz points out, getting access to the raw sensor data is a key feature to many photographers; it's an essential aspect of the product from a user perspective.


Since you disagree: where in this thread did anyone state the opposite of what you just wrote, who said that RAW is NOT a key feature to many photographers?


Here:

> It is supposed to be raw data from the sensor with some additional metrics streamed in, just sufficiently standardized to be used in the camera-vendors' toolchain for development. It just "happens" to be also available to select for the end-user after product-launch.


Nothing here states that a RAW format is NOT a key feature to many photographers. This is a straw-man argument.


It says that it "just happens" to be available to customers and the main reason it exists is for R&D. That's what I disagree with.


The whole post shapes the context, even the whole sentence helps already: It just "happens" to be also available to select for the end-user after product-launch. Supporting DNG would mean adding an extra feature and then hiding the RAW-option again.

--> Even if DNG-support would be adopted as a feature for the end-user, the proprietary RAW would still need to be maintained because it has a core-purpose during development of the product. The utilization AFTER that is the product-feature

None of this negates the value of RAW for photographers, this is completely beside the topic


That's not how I interpret it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


Hence I, the person who wrote it (!), keeps clarifying the intended interpretation by (re)iterating that noone disputes the value of RAW for photographers.

It is up to you now to ingest new information and adjust your interpretation, a process I'm afraid I can't help any further with.

Good luck ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


Wdym with "curate your feed"? See only posts of people your follow? That's always been possible with Twitter.


You have control over what is suggested by the algo, and can make several different feeds - in addition to just a feed of your follows. Rather than whatever "For You" is doing on Twitter these days.


So exactly like twitter.


I don't believe Twitter has the ability to do multiple algorithmically driven feeds but its been a while since I used it. I think Twitter "lists" might be the closest thing to it but thats just different follows. My understanding was that "For You" has gone through a number of changes, most of them for the worst, in the last year or so. Bluesky also has some interesting personal moderation filters - for instance I can subscribe to published block lists, maintained by other users.


No; Twitter doesn't have a "bring your own algorithm" option. https://docs.bsky.app/docs/starter-templates/custom-feeds


Yup. There's the basic chronological feed. There's a Discover and Popular with Friends feed. But, you can create your own feeds and/or subscribe to feeds that other people have created. You can have feeds for a specific topic or subculture. They can be manually curated or algorithmically; the idea is that can you subscribe to your own recommendation algorithm. They can be as simple or as complex as you'd like. Plus, you typically know who created a feed. Let's say you want to hear about AI news. There could be a curated AI, assuming someone cares about to garden it.


>There's the basic chronological feed

twitter has that

>There's a Discover

twitter has that

>you can create your own feeds and/or subscribe to feeds that other people have created

twitter has that


Twitter lets you ingest their firehose and engineer your own algorithms on top of that and lets other people subscribe to those? Cool. Show me.

Blueksy also has unique labelers and moderation lists. My favorite is the politician donor labeler.


Not after Twitter started forcing you to see accounts you don't follow.


It doesn't.


It absolutely has, in my experience. Bluesky also seems to be less heavy-handed with account bans.


This can easily also be because they don't have enough bandwidth to serve the normal request volume because some load balancer update or similar went wrong.


The outage doesn't fit the pattern of a bad deployment. X was down all over the world all at once. There was multiple outages and the site was browning out while it was up.

If a deployment caused it, they would roll back and not try again until they found the issue.

Elon states it's a massive cyberattack and he suspects a nation state is behind it. [paraphrasing]


Well it's always good to be specific, but I think it was the only thing that the US did for the F-16, wasn't it? They didn't exactly support sending planes in the first place. And it's not gonna be the last wrench the US will throw into Ukraine's (and Europe's) gears. It all piles up.


Israel is using these bombs on Hamas and Hezbollah mostly, both of which it hasn't defeated after 1 1/2 years of complete material superiority. It's actually impossible to defeat an enemy that uses asymmetric warfare. Israel already knows this, but Netanjahu needs the war to continue to stay in power.


This is interesting. If the models had enough actual code as training data, that forum post code should have very little weight, shouldn't it? Why do the LLMs prefer it?


Probably because the coworker's question and the forum post are both questions that start with "How do I", so they're a good match. Actual code would be more likely to be preceded by... more code, not a question.


Maybe because the response pattern-matches other languages’s?


Wow, they still render to canvas? That's terrible. Just looked at this website: https://payamzahedi.com/toastification/

Feels janky just when scrolling. This is supposed to be the future?

Last time I used a flutter app they didn't even update the url for different screens.


I'm shocked every time I use a Flutter web app. Not even one of the highest-end desktop GPUs on the market is enough to animate a dark mode toggle at more than a choppy 2fps. In one app with a login page, my password manager fills out the password into the username field, though I'm surprised it's able to fill anything at all. You'll be lucky if you can even select text on the screen or copy a link, though I know some websites would love if they can prevent you from doing that at a technical level. Text editing feels sluggish and doesn't behave the same way as standard web text fields when using advanced keyboard controls. I'm thankful that technologies like Flutter never took off on the web, and I hope they never will.


The goal isn't the wholesale replacement of html webpages. I have a traditional website for SEO and such that links to my Flutter game app on the same domain. It's exactly what the parent described: a way to ship executable code. A lot of features supported for websites don't work, sure. But that's not the point. It's a single build that practically any user on the planet can execute without needing to install something.

The idea that an app distribution method needs to natively support every feature and analysis method that works for a website is nonsense. You don't expect all that from every app on the play store, for instance. The browser isn't just for visiting html websites anymore. It's also the app distribution method with the widest reach.

On your specific complaints: it's easy to make your screens have different urls. An app that doesn't is built by a novice or lazy developer.

Skipping frames while scrolling is a fair complaint. In my experience, flutter is performant enough but always just a little short of the performance I'd like. Definitely an area that could use improvement.


It's using a Flutter web build that's over 2 years old. We've gotten a LOT better.

Context: I'm a product manager on the team.


I don't think the article outright claims Oracle has no JavaScript runtime, only that Oracle JET is no runtime, which is true. And since this is the evidence Oracle presented to keep the trademark, it's fair to point out that this is nonsense. But it's also true that if this goes to court, Oracle could present GraalJS (which is used in OracleDB) as evidence for their case.


> Several months later, Google launched the most viral new AI application of the year, called NotebookLM

When I read this I was honestly confused. I had never heard of NotebookLM before.
