I agree that this is what's being expressed, but I think I'd have an easier time revising KJV than Shakespeare. The pieces of translated bible that I have read didn't come anywhere near the complexities of Shakespeare. I don't think anyone would read/accept my revision, but I think it would be more beautiful in the eyes of most English professors.

"I returned. Under the sun I saw that the race was not for the swift, nor the battle for the strong, nor the riches for the wise men; time and chance affected all."

Not a major departure, and it could certainly be improved upon, but it's more to the point while still showing the reader rather than just stating the point, and the repetitious bit in the middle has been paired down to three parts with a slight variation on the last repetion upending expectations while not going so off the rails that there is no particular expectation.
A major oversight here is rate of acceleration. Every organism and vehicle on earth has the same gravity and similar coefficients of friction to work with, so rates of acceleration have roughly the same cap, but the speeds change by orders of magnitude.

So an ant can go from full speed, to stopped, to full speed in a fraction of a second. A car on the highway will take several seconds to stop, and much longer to smoothly accelerate, leading to standing wave type effects on highways. This is much less likely with people walking, and even less likely with ants.

The dynamics of cars on the highway is governed by the difficulty of changing speed and direction. For ants, this constraint is negligible. So these things don't really compare.
With all the space, heat, and sun they have, I bet passive or solar desalination would be better (and would provoke less resistance).

The problem is that there is so many weights in the model that they don't fit in memory. You can lower the number of weights, which will lower the effectiveness of the model.

The thing is that when you're going for leaderboards you're reaching for every last percentage point, so the efficiency of the model size/performance isn't a concern, you want to ramp up the resource usage to as you have access to.

TL;DR - Yeah basically most people will run a "slimmed down" version of the model that isn't "as" performant, but is still an improvement over previous models and actually fits on your machine.

> More likely, gas stations lose out to places people will be at anyway to charge (grocery stores, work places, parking lots/structures, etc).

This isn’t economically practical unless you have subsidized charging. It’s significantly cheaper to charge my car at home than it is to use some random public charger.
And yet there are marked variations in raw intelligence, with people of exceptional ability hearing similar messages of herd-keeping mediocrity their entire lives, and having to overcome them.

I think it comes from a good place in the heart, but people really shouldn't look for ways to drag themselves into other people's problems out of "fairness". Many societies have a nominal interest in teaching English to their people, but fail in practice. Fixing English education (or really language teaching in general) is a far more useful thing than torturing yourself with a language not suited to typewriter keyboards, such as APL or Arabic.
Those are fair points.

Nonetheless, I'll avoid flying on that plane for a few years regardless, just for my own peace of mind.
We're not comparing home charging to fast charging though. We're comparing fast charging locations to other fast charging locations. Home charging is absolutely going to be cheaper due to no demand charges, but for where people elect to fast charge, you colocate where they will already be. At work places, you would want to provide charging current rates as high as possible without incurring demand charges. This is not to hand wave away street parking charging! This is definitely an issue, but there have been great strides in developing charging stations for street use (integrated into light poles, for example). Does you locale have Dig Once policies (call to action: get involved locally if they do not!)? Throw some fiber in there while you're upgrading street power!

At home, I charge using power from Exelon's nuclear fleet at 1-6 cents/kwh (Time of Use plan). I want to stress: most people will plug in every time they arrive at home and charge at home. You will leave your house every day with a full charge by doing so. Supercharging costs me ~30 cents/kwh, so $10-15 for an 80% charge. Regardless, the costs are so low I don't care either way, I come out ahead versus gasoline (previously $40-60 per fill up) no matter how I charge. I literally don't even think about it when Tesla dings my credit card for Supercharging. It is annoying to use a J1772 public charger (install adapter, swipe Chargepoint card, troubleshoot why the station isn't providing current), so I avoid using those whenever possible.

In the US, you are never more than 150 miles from a Tesla Supercharger, and of course the network will continue to grow over time: https://supercharge.info/map
> Equity dollars are used to recondition and transport your car

Not true! I get charged at the end of my lease for any "wear & tear above normal". Fair allows the customer to pre-pay a monthly surcharge to avoid the lump sum W&T charge at the end. Transport is cheap: I can get the car towed across town for <$100, which is less than 40% of a single monthly payment.

> Since the majority of their customer base churns through the platform with low tenure and is not retained (short term Uber drivers)

How can you possibly know that? Here in NYC driving for Uber is not a short-term thing by any means. TLC licensing cost and the time it takes to obtain this license is sufficient overhead to lock Uber drivers in for a long time in the hope of perhaps one day breaking even. Fair also charges a relatively hefty (I paid ~$2k) lease start fee in order to discourage customers from churning too quickly.

Maybe they're getting better at natural language, but for me Google searches have been getting gradually worse year after year. I want Google, not AskJeeves.

The "frustration" is "increasing" "when" I "have" to "quote" nearly every "word" to get Google to actually return results with what I searched for instead of what it thinks I meant to search for.

And there's the frustration, computing today tries as hard as it can to figure out what it thinks I actually meant. I don't know if it is worse that a person who knows what they want can't get it when the computer disagrees or if the computer is actually mostly right and its algorithms start to push your desires in it's own direction and whatever motive.

Facebook already does this really, radicalizing people by engineering the most dopamine-driving content to the top either towards self-obsession or an us v. them bubble.

Exactly.

I worked for a company where the CFO got involved in engineering and operational decisions. And they were always terrible.

If I had a CFO who said that, and I was the CEO, he'd be fired.
The new iOS update would disable scrolling on Safari - but only on some websites, and only about halfway through the page. You had to quit and reopen to fix the effect.

> I'm really saddened to see Apple falling for it

Apple was one of the pioneers of it with it's always changing skeuomorphisms followed by its plane design trend. Their marketing has been mocking the stability of their competitors since forever, and only stopped when that stability went away.

That said, I'm peaceful with he fact that I can't access most of the features of my phones (I use Android, that while not being a pioneer has followed quite passionately). That also helps restricting my dependency on it so I have the option of not being spied on and avoid problems once the functionality goes away.
Thanks! The chunks trick was a fairly straightforward translation of what I would do in C++ if the compiler wouldn't vectorize the reduction for some reason. These days most compilers will do it if you pass enough flags, a fact I really took for granted when doing this because Rust is more conservative.

I've tried using mul_add, but at the moment performance isn't much better. But I also noticed someone else on my machine running a big parallel build, so I'll wait a little later and run the full sweep over the problem sizes with mul_add.

So really the existence of FMA didn't have a performance implication it seems except to confirm that Rust wasn't passing "fast math" to LLVM where Clang was. It just so happens that "fast math" will also allow vectorization of reductions.

Vice is seemingly not biased at all. (They push the point that mobiles are not throwaways by choosing the most expensive mobiles as if they were the standard. Most people I know just buy the cheapest Android they can find; those are definitely throwaways)
It might be because for highly sensitive security roles, each government usually only allows citizens to participate, as opposed to resident immigrants that where not born in that country.

I saw one of these early one Saturday morning on I280 in San Jose. I presume it started with congestion during Friday night commute. It was still there at 7AM - cars adding to the back, slowing to a stop for an instant then starting up again and zooming away from the front. All for no apparent reason (no accident/no other congestion on the freeway anywhere).
I use this method to an extent, but the unfortunate result often becomes people zipping in in front of you when you inevitably have a bit of extra space compared to those around you. This seems to leave you with two problems which are hard to solve simultaneously. The first is the one you mention where you want to keep a mostly constant speed compared to the whole group. The second is the effective need to locally keep up with the cars around you. Solving both problems simultaneously seems essentially impossible. I guess removing self-interest is the only real way (which appears to be what the ants do).
How much time have you spent underwater? Such schemes are totally unrealistic maintenance nightmares due to corrosion, encrustation, storms, and difficulty of site access.

I thought you could only shut down an aluminium smelter for a couple of hours. It’s essential they keep the pots (?) hot constantly or they get ruined and the plant is then offline hundreds of millions to repair. If this is correct then solar would be a terrible power source for smelting.

Good power sources: hydro, geothermal. Which is why we see smelters in places with hydro and geothermal.

Australia should go nuclear. Plenty of places to put plants. A dozen plants would generate all the electricity they need and they can stop burning coal.

This is what all people who are set in their ways say about all change.

It is very unlikely that people are changing things just for fun.
Most people don't care about this because mobiles for them are, indeed, throwaways. So, according to some, this should be written into law so we all are forced to care.

>Coverage I’ve read in American discourse focuses on the dystopian side of the Chinese government. Examples abound: from its oppression of Uyghurs, to its outright ban of many religious groups, to its increasingly aggressive influence in American political and social life—like the Blizzard and NBA cases over the last week. But over the last five years, this discourse, though often correct, has felt increasingly disconnected from my personal experiences in China and the more fundamental problems at hand. In particular, it fails to comment on the larger, more important context: how much better life has become for many Chinese people, China’s new self-confidence, and America’s struggle with development, optimism, and sovereignty.

What the hell is this guy saying? "Oh sure, China has literal concentration camps, but as long as you're not there then it's just great!"

>In many ways, China in the 2010s reminds me of what I’ve read of America in the 1950s: the country is powerful, economic development is booming, and people are optimistic about the future.

"People" meaning "the ruling class". It was great living in America in the fifties, as long as you were a white dude with a job.

You might want to read about Hans Monderman.

> Monderman's work demonstrated that city and village streets become safer when they are stripped of traffic controls so that drivers must take cues from observing people rather than signs. Though it sounds chaotic, the results of Shared Space have shown to be just the opposite: traffic moves slower and the rate of major accidents declines drastically.

> His design approach is the concept of "shared space", an urban design approach that seeks to minimise demarcations between vehicle traffic and pedestrians, often by removing features such as kerbs, road surface markings, traffic signs, and regulations. Monderman found that the traffic efficiency and safety improved when the street and surrounding public space was redesigned to encourage each person to negotiate their movement directly with others.

For the record:

> First implemented in his native Netherlands, Monderman’s designs have since spread throughout Europe, South Africa, Australia, Japan, and Brazil, and Canada. They are also making an appearance in often car-dominated U.S. cities such as Pittsburgh, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, and Chicago.

> "It's a moving away from regulated, legislated traffic toward space which, by the way it's designed and configured, makes it clear what sort of behavior is anticipated," said Ben Hamilton-Baillie, an English urban designer who coined the phrase Shared Space after trying out Monderman's controversial ideas in his hometown of Bristol. Hamilton-Baillie now promotes Shared Space projects in Germany, Belgium, and Denmark as part of an ongoing project of the European Union.

The name “Share” is probably just a holdover from older iOS versions when it actually was purely a share feature.

It ought to be renamed to something else now, like “Actions” or something to reflect the fact that that one button is how you: open the file in a specific app, run automations on it, share it with friends, save or bookmark the thing, etc.

This is certainly true, people often falsely start the car instantly and continue to drive just to stop a few meters later.

I think you have to accept that gender identity is a contentious issue for a lot of people, even among the liberal/feminist/LGBTQ set, so any possible position you take is probably going to offend someone.

So just be honest and try to be polite, that's the best you can ever do. Whether or not you claim that gender is "entirely social" should depend on what you believe, not what you think the safe answer is.
'Grounded' means the plane could not take off. It was on the ground and must remain there.

Landing a deal (or a fish) is like landing a plane. A human acts to cause a desired outcome. Unlike forcing a pilot to involuntarily land a plane, the perspective of the fish as involuntarily being forced to land is not a necessary inference for this use of 'land'.

Eh, while there is a certain potential, the primary failure mode for pneumatics is just a simple rupture, where a pipe splits and all the air runs out.

Even that is easy enough to avoid by adding a few relief valves here and there that spring at the working pressure of the system, but that's not really a failure, and other house systems have comparable safety features, so not really a distinguishing feature of pneumatics vs electrics.
