When it comes to machine learning, the subtlety here is that there are at least two sides or facets to machine learning: (1) training and (2) inference.

It's fair to say that there are multiple areas for AI leadership.

It is generally believed that:

Model Creation

(1) Those with the access to the best (which is not necessarily the most, but often believed to be) data have a strong starting point for training models; because of this Google, Facebook, and Microsoft have often been attributed to have this advantage due to the nature of their businesses.

Model Application

(2) Inference/prediction at the edge, e.g. on-device, is believed to be the best point for applying those models; this can be for a variety of reasons, including latency and other costs associated with sending model input data from edge sensors/devices. Some applications are entirely impractical or likely impossible to achieve without conducting inference on-device. Privacy-preservation is also a property of this approach. Depending on how you want to view this, this property could be a core design principle or a side-effect. Apple's hardware ecosystem approach and marketshare (i.e. iPhones) provide a strong starting point for making the technology ubiquitous for consumer experiences.
But if the results are wrong or misleading, there’s no point in trusting in them.
It really depends on the profile of the car. Some have almost no bad pressure/sound effects.
In my experience people get annoyed at hanging out with (the more intransigently judgey type of) vegans because it radically limits the possible places to go eat, and it can get tedious hearing a moral lecture at every available opportunity. I’d speculate that some vegans need to constantly talk about their veganism as a way of suppressing their own uncertainty about their decision. [Not unlike people who have adopted other causes as a core part of their identity; vegans are hardly unique here.]

I’ve never seen someone get mad when a vegan e.g. brought their own food to a social gathering, or directly answered questions about their experience of veganism.
I don’t care what kind of job you’re in. It matters whether or not people think of you as someone who’s easy to get along with.
I didn't speculate about anything. I just said that the public will require overwhelming evidence of something bad to change its mind because of the cult of personality around Musk. That's simply a fact.
> you're merely writing the glue code between your application and those systems, none of which is application specific.

Yes, but if you have to modify every interaction with an external API (you do), or even many interactions between internal APIs (you also do), you have to rewrite the application. Most of an application is moving data, if you have to change how you move data, you have to change the majority of the app.

> No, they don't. Trying to spin up your custom internal infra (or demanding special internal accommodation from externally available infra) will require justifying to management why you're not using the existing one, and most of the new products coming from these guys are nothing that specialized in terms of infra needs.

Do...do you work at any of the companies you're talking about? Because people in this thread, who do, are telling you you're wrong.

> Let me put it this way, majority of {Google, Amazon, Microsoft} services could be ported to run on each others cloud platforms, let alone on the external APIs of their own platforms, which means there is no secret sauce and there is no reason for smaller players to be complaining about it other than not having economies of scale thus pricing levels.

This is also wrong (i mean for some value of ported including "completely and entirely rearchitect", yes this is trivially true). But no, hosting AWS on GCP or Google search on AWS would not be, by any stretch of the imagination, a relatively simple process.

There are well known examples of systems that one service has, that another can't support. A simple example would be Spanner. But that's a different conversation than the one we were having. The original claim was

> Google can't spin off tools successfully because their internal codebases are deeply reliant on assumptions about Google's infrastructure and Google internal libraries, etc.

Which is true. You seem to be taking "can't" to mean "cannot technically, even given infinite resources" and not the much more likely "cannot reasonably". And this would be true in general, ask anyone who has tried to move an app GCE to AWS, and see if it was pleasant. It's not.
I’m not an Apple fankid but the predictive keyboard and speech to text work wonderfully on my iPhone and I use Siri everyday with no problems. Google’s is probably better, but the different is not a meaningful one from what I can tell.
That's exactly it.

My line is "no thanks, it's my least favorite drug"... you'll get some interesting reactions to that one.
False dichotomy: what about a small city? These “problems” are not present in most small villages (100 population) in the UK.

I'm not sure what I'd be asking you to buy here. I'm neither siding with or against OP. I'm just making a point about levels of proof needed regarding actions by someone who is beloved by the public.

This isn't really controversial. Look how many allegations it took to sway people about Bill Cosby, for example.
You should look up what "allegory" means.
That's still 15 years. Why not say, 2 or 3? This reminds me of a 'Han shot second' type thing. There's a million examples of creators lying after the fact.

And if that was the real message, should not the 'real world' feel more beautiful and free than dystopian and depressing?

I think that chart is misleading, 0 drinks in the last week does not mean "doesn't drink at all, " which implies total abstention. You can easily go weeks or even months without a drink as an occasional drinker who only partakes at social gatherings.

> Some social drinking can make things possible that I'm not even sure how to replicate without it, like getting people to actually open up and be real with one another.

You alcoholics are just too much. I'm a fucking crackhead and even I can see how pathetic this line of thinking is.
"Son, never trust a man who doesn’t drink because he’s probably a self-righteous sort, a man who thinks he knows right from wrong all the time. Some of them are good men, but in the name of goodness, they cause most of the suffering in the world. They’re the judges, the meddlers. And, son, never trust a man who drinks but refuses to get drunk. They’re usually afraid of something deep down inside, either that they’re a coward or a fool or mean and violent. You can’t trust a man who’s afraid of himself. But sometimes, son, you can trust a man who occasionally kneels before a toilet. The chances are that he is learning something about humility and his natural human foolishness, about how to survive himself. It’s damned hard for a man to take himself too seriously when he’s heaving his guts into a dirty toilet bowl.”

Oh right. I liked how 'Up' was really about pedo rights the whole time. Married man never has fun or takes his wife anywhere because he's depressed. She dies, he meets a special boy, and they see the world together. Really beautiful story.
Taking your situation at face value, in that case people would spend a lot on filters but keep carbon.

I think a Web Component is meant to be like a <div/>. It's one of the pieces that you render on the server. That way the client is dumb and just implements a design language in Web Components/JS, and the server sends commands to lay them out with data already bound.
Patton (1970)

A great movie about an impressive commander. Key takeaways for me were:

1. Don't assume that because someone isn't very personable that they are bad at their job.

2. Have the courage to have a strong sense of duty.

3. Lead from the front.

4. Be willing to learn from people you dislike (Patton read Rommel's book on tank tactics, to his great advantage).
The product looks great. Congrats with 2.0.

However, I used Jitsi Meet on a daily basis for a year. I was a frequent person to a Jitsi Meet room recently as well.

It was and is pretty bad relative to others. There’s almost always an issue once you get to double digits. Even in smaller numbers, it is buggier far more than Whereby or Zoom.

Its cpu and Bandwidth usage is too high too compared to better video options.

I avoid Jitsi as much as possible.

I'm not European, but to a degree it seems so, yes. For example, minimum paid vacation by law is 21 days in almost all of Europe: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_minimum_annual_leave_b... And judging by common statements and anecdotes here on HN, I think the number of paid vacation days tend to exceed the legal minimum, especially in Western Europe, just as they do in the U.S.--typically 2 weeks for salaried employees even though Federal law mandates 0.

Likewise, mandatory pension contributions (employee and employer) in most of Western Europe exceed 20% of income (upwards of 30% in some cases), as contrasted to 12% in the U.S.: https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/docserver/pension_glance-2017-... Who in the U.S. contributes 10-20% to their IRA or 401(k) on top of FICA payments? It's not even legal to make such large contributions pre-tax. (Some of us are privileged enough to make up the difference with higher salaries; a smaller fraction of a higher salary let's us contribute more to retirement.) Note that employer contributions aren't generally reflected in salary figures, and in some European countries employer contributions exceed 20%.
Just relaying my personal experience, but I don't drink either and have never felt excluded. I occasionally get asked why (most people don't even notice) and I tell them the truth "I feel like crap the next day, even with just one drink".
You open with, "This is patently false," but then don't really seem to contract what the OP said.
I’m 15 min from city by car and 45 by bus so it makes a huge difference. It’s the difference between popping out and something you need to plan.
It's not precisely that she called law enforcement on them, poor choice of words on my part. It's more that, if you will, she turned the "eye of Sauron" on the project. If the team she had oversight on thought they were going to meet deadlines with open security holes, having the FBI actively looking at what they're doing pretty much torpedoes that hope.
Yes, but also no. It's a less convenient flow, and indexing and such would be trickier than either centralized or on device, since you'd need to encrypt and distribute the index as well (or do homomorphic encryption, but I don't think it's ready for the limelight.)

I think most people are probably fine with the tradeoff between convenience and features that centralization offers, so unfortunately people that aren't are stuck with more niche products (or Apple, I suppose, although I don't think i-cloud is end to end encrypted?). I say they're stuck with niche products because I don't think it makes sense to try and offer a slider between convenience and privacy in one product, since the interface and feature sets would be so different.
Apple's AI work is decent for what it is, and their AI hardware is fine too, but so much of this article is just weird.

It starts by talking about how until recently Apple wasn't doing AI work where it needed to be. Then there's the weird excerpt where he claims Google is “not known for shipping consumer experiences that are used by hundreds of millions of people.” The author then raises the legitimate point that AI benefits from having lots of data to train on, but then quotes an answer by Giannandrea to a different question, which includes him stating that bigger models aren't more accurate than smaller ones. The point that on-device inference is more responsive is valid but not unique to Apple; the article says “Android phones don't do nearly as wide an array of machine learning tasks locally”, but I don't think this is true.

I'm sure many Japanese salarymen would agree with your description. I used to work in a small familial company in Osaka where you didn't need an excuse to "exercise honesty", but from I gather it was the exception more than the rule.

So far of all the places I worked at it was probably the one I enjoyed the most in terms of atmosphere and relation with coworkers, alas the work was not particularly interesting. I still pay my former coworkers a visit from time to time.
Samsara - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsara_(2011_film)

4 years of filming in locations from 25 countries using 70mm cameras. No narration, just spectacular captures of life. They say it's a form of guided meditation.

I can't really explain how it affects me in detail. Certainly in a very positive way though. I feel humble.
I don’t drink, and I’ve often read and worried about this culture of coworkers and peers who won’t trust you, and leave you out of social functions because of your choice.

I’ve never encountered it though, and people seem to accept at face value that I don’t drink, and I’ve never felt left out. Even if the activity was a bar, I’ve always been invited along.

Maybe I’m just lucky, or the companies I’ve worked at have a different sort of people at them, but I’m grateful for it.
It’s interesting because I have a hard time trusting people who don’t drink. And I often will not get along with someone until I at least get a drink with them. It’s not great as I know some people who categorically do not drink.
So this will just be happening to all altcoins until they're dead. I hope.
I would argue the decrease in dementia is way to large to be explained by asbestos. Even when it was commonly used, the number of people exposed was pretty low. You'd either have to be mining the stuff or working in an industry that commonly used it.

Your average office worker isn't going to get exposed to asbestos except for rare situations where asbestos material is being actively manipulated.
> There's something that can feel distrustful about that in some scenarios.

That's prejudice. Alcohol makes people violent and out of control, more so than any other drug, and yet we're the ones that are untrustworthy?

> I'd encourage non-drinkers to at least learn to play along and have some beverage in their hand.

I'd encourage you to fuck off while I smoke a blunt and blow the smoke in your face.

Unfortunately, brake dust and tire rubber also represents a surprisingly large amount of particulate matter as well. I wish I had the source, but it was far more significant than I ever would have guessed.

(I have an EV, a gasoline powered sports car, and a diesel SUV (with particulate filter and urea injection))
No. There's not a lot of research into it yet because the ability to work from home is relatively new, but this is literally my wife's area of academic expertise and the research that does exist generally shows that given the proper conditions and environment, working from home can be vastly more productive.
I never got drunk because I cannot stand the taste of alcohol. I can drink at most half a glass of wine or beer. (Similarly, I can also not stand the taste of some artificial sweeteners. I am probably not a supertaster, because I do like grapefruit very much. I also have a problem with many 'synthetic' smells and cannot stand smoke.)

I never realized that this had an effect on my social life, by not joining in with getting drunk with others (especially in my younger years). In my current social circles, excessive consumption of alcohol is not the norm.
It was the first thing i could find in google. I mean wikia didnt even exist as a company in 1999.

> And if that was the real message, should not the 'real world' feel more beautiful and free than dystopian and depressing?

On the contrary, i think that supports the message. I don't know what its like to be trans, but i'm pretty sure its not all rainbows and butterfly's. The characters in the matrix decide it is better to live as their authentic free self as opposed to being in the gilded cage of the matrix. I think that is a great metaphor for transitioning.

> There's a million examples of creators lying after the fact.

Fwiw, i do believe that a work should be considered separate from authorial intent, especially post-hoc authortorial intent. In this case, i think the work supports what the creators say, and its much more compelling than say harry potter where there is very little support in the text for the things jk rowling said later.
Did you read the article? The whole point was that Apple has innovated but that they don’t make a big deal out of it. Marketing, basically.
I’ve never seen such a place in the western world tbh. Most of the real talk happens over drinks after work.
And all the people outside America in countries with no policy with America or where the countries aren’t eager to send their citizens over?
I much preferred Samsara (2011) over Koyaanisqatsi or Baraka.

I show people Samsara to demonstrate how a movie can have an incredibly powerful message without saying a single word.
There are teetotallers, and then there are teetotallers. There are vegans, and then there are vegans.

I lived in Manhattan for just under 8 years, and have been in Hong Kong for almost 9 years now. I have more friends and colleagues who are vegan here (and a few Jains), but I've never seen the social posturing here that I would sometimes see from vegans in NYC. I don't mean to imply all, or even a majority, of teetotallers, vegans, etc. are virtue signalling in New York, just pointing out the near complete absence of posturing and virtue signalling (at least over those choices) here in Hong Kong puts New York in sharp contrast. I took my wife to New York for the first time a bit over a year ago, and our AirBnB hosts were way over the top sharing their dietary choices, to the point is was very confusing to my wife. I had to tell my wife something along the lines of "Don't worry about it. These aren't actually super strange people. It's just something some people do here. We don't have to worry for our safety." We have vegan friends and colleagues here, and my wife's sister-in-law believes in a branch of Buddhism that doesn't eat beef, but posturing over dietary choices was completely foreign to my wife.

My weirdness was that I didn't own a TV for about 10 years prior to getting married. I understood a lot of people who didn't own TVs were really annoying about it. I presume not owning a TV is too passe as a virtue signal these days. With me, it only came up if someone asked me what I thought of the latest episode of XYZ.

Anyway, I see huge differences between New York and Hong Kong about how people present that they don't drink alcohol, are vegan, etc.
Frege did not in general reject intuition. The rules of what became first-order logic are accepted on the grounds that they are intuitively undeniable and provide the results we need. That's the actual lesson of Russel's paradox in response to Basic Law V: that blatantly obvious things can be problematic.

For anyone interested in the semantic analysis of the verb "to be", I recommend Andrea Moro's book "A Brief History of the Verb To Be."

Also note that analytic philosophy is the philosophical tradition the author is referring to, not rationalism [2]. This is an ahistorical use of the latter word. They did define their terms in the glossary but that won't help you in searching.

Leaving aside the relative merits of various systems of resource allocation, any society wherein one must work to be able to procure food and shelter includes at least a small element of coercion, even if the only force at fault is nature/physics (due to your body’s need for input energy). Farm or die, as it were.

We’ve extended that with specialization, and some societies have patched over it with regulations, but ultimately there is a natural coercive force applied on Earth with regards to “work”: hunger.
Drinking is as old as time, but what I feel is more modern is this silly gamification of "getting real." There is a problem if you have to drink to get real. Get real when you're sober. Have long, winding conversations about anything and everything when you have your faculties together. Tell it like it is because that's what you do, but soften the blow using your brain not beer.
We're all "professional pedestrians" too (on some countries at least even trained as such from early age). You probably weren't prepared appropriately for your encounter with horses.
