If we can do QUERY forms, it would be an ideal time to add JSON encoding for forms.

I told it my preferences and of the group members, where we arrived and departed, at what times. I gave it my itinerary and then asked it to plan two new itineraries and also suggest a location to book a hotel that was convenient for the early flight on the last day.

I went away for 20 mins and gave me a 20 page document with a good summary and decent options. I did choose some of the activities it suggested.

I did this 10 months ago. It’s probably better now.

But Gemini has access to google maps, so it can estimate travel times, and know which lunch places are near which sites and which hotels have good reviews. So if you want AI to work for travel panning you need to ground it in good data.

Instant transfer (sub-second) for free is available to everyone. (Up to a certain limit)

That’s five times higher!

For those that don’t know these are all the checks done yearly to every passenger car over 3 years old. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/car-parts-checked...

Sir, this is a hacker news.

I don’t have a list to hand, but there are so many areas of physics and engineering where complex numbers are the best representation of how we perceive the universe to work.

There are very few ‘lossless” conversions possible if you consider the loss of a data or metadata could affect the result. So if printer did accept a file that needed to be converted, and then during printing and converting they found conversion could lead to unexpected results should they cancel the print run? There is just too much to go wrong in printing already without these extra problems.

The print industry has a long and storied history, and for whatever set of reasons, printers only accept very specific profiles of specific formats.

To me a 4k read seems anachronistic from a modern application perspective. But I gather 4kb pages are still common in many file systems. But that doesn’t mean the majority of reads are 4kb random in a real world scenario.

To be clear the codec implements the compression (or other encoding) algorithm. So when talking about codec's we mean the implementation. But when talking about the algorithm, we are talking about the standard of encoding the encoder or decoder implements.

The vaccines were definately useful, and had a big impact, but unfortunately corona viruses change too quickly.

This isn't quite right. Linear systems can also be complex, and linear dynamic systems can also exhibit the butterfly effect.

That is why the butterfly effect is so interesting.

Of course non-linear systems can have a large change in output based on a small input, because they allow step changes, and many other non-linear processes.

And you can’t subtype those.

Other JVM languages, like scala, are more OO than Java.
