> ACM is pleased to share an important milestone for the computing field. Beginning January 2026, all ACM publications and related artifacts in the ACM Digital Library will be made open access.

Doesn’t help for O'Reilly content.

(Also, if you can afford the subscription money it makes sense to reward, not punish, ACM for making its own material open-access.)

Is this ACM membership worth it?

reply


If your paying $500 for an O’Reilly subscription, then the $99 membership plus $75 add-on for O'Reilly would seem to make it so even if you don't use any of the other facilities:

> unlimited access to ACM's collection of thousands of online books, video courses, interactive sandboxes, practice labs, and AI-enabled tools from O'Reilly and Skillsoft Percipio

Since Gemini seems to be sucking at timestamps, perhaps Whisper can be used to help ground that as an additional input alongside the audio.


Maybe the same reason why they kept the name for the 2.5 Flash update.

People are lazy at pointing to the latest name.


Some of them support it but not all.


It got Kodak'd.


It was probably just an example.

I love how the front page doesn't scream SOCs/SOMs to you and is just straight up here's the compatible cameras with pictures (with some SOM info below).


Yup. And these cameras supported by thingino are also available on Amazon for under $30, too, some as low as $20 or below!


I wouldn't be surprised if the bills themselves are marked with specimen or something on the non-visible side. Maybe they're also artificially worn bills produced during bringup or testing.


I agree. The "money" probably has the shape and appearance of money, but isn't legal tender out of concern risk management and theft.

The cube is almost certainly hollow, to cut weight and cost.

It's the idea of what a cube of $1m would look like. It should at least fulfill that requirement faithfully.


Someone else had mentioned these were retired dollar bills (aka, otherwise headed to the incinerator) but I don't know the provenance of this information.


I think multiviewer might have been a synonym for that.

I wonder if the chips on these dummy plugs are powerful enough to hack in HDCP support though.


The dummy plugs are literally just a 256-byte eeprom hooked to the I2C lines, there's nothing else inside the shell.


How reliable is this? I'm half joking too but I wouldn't mind reading a report comparing this on OpenAI and various other LLMs.

Somehow I doubt it'll be 100%... right?


Might be more reliable to ask it to generate a JS function to compute is-even, then just js eval the returned code with the args.

What could go wrong


normally llms are pretty bad at math, but in this case it should just look at the final digit and map 10 values which I can't imagine going wrong


I tried with this on chatgpt.com (anonymous) and it was wrong:

response:

>True

The prompt was the same used as the library: https://github.com/Calvin-LL/is-even-ai/blob/b00dbfcbb89a197...


To be fair, Javascript double point precision get tripped up by such large numbers as well.


The tokenizer might lump the last digit together with some preceding digits though. I know o200k_base (OpenAI -o models) tends to give groups of three (900001 for example is 900-001).

Anyway, I wouldn't be surprised if a non-finetuned model made some mistakes.


I'm just curious how _low_ can you go before it does go wrong.


I mean if this were a check for primes the answer would be 1.


is 0x2a even?


its as accurate as how Tiktokenizer deal with numeral characters
