There might be some merit to this idea, though I'm not sure it really applies to Akbar, or even the early Mughals. His youth was also fairly tumultuous, and in the early years the continuation of the Timurids in India was not a sure thing. Besides, while the early Mughals may have been only the latest new kids on the block in Delhi, they were part of the same Persianate culture that had dominated North India for close to half a millennia by that point. I doubt there would be much value in performative illiteracy in this context.

For what it's worth, while Persian was the court language, the Mughals retained their Turkic dialect as a household language, and Akbar was conversant in the major Hindi dialects. There is evidence that subsequent Mughals and the vast number of Mirza princelings in the Imperial household grew up speaking Hindi as their primary language with their Rajput mothers, before formal instruction in Turkic, Persian, and Arabic.

They started dying out heavily over a decade ago. The best remaining stations are the local NPR stations, then there's the cesspool of talk radio stations, and there are some local gems like WFMU here in NYC which I stream online.
Even if you assume tesla is only making cars (they're doing more than that), why is no one asking why existing car companies are making so little? Why is apple worth $2 trillion based on a phone, while car manufacturers making something even more valuable than a phone, are only ~25% of that combined (excluding Tesla)? It's because traditional car companies are terrible at capturing the value they create. They're wasting a ton of money on expensive ads competing with each other. They outsource their entire supply chain, giving profit away to suppliers. They have dealer networks they are beholden to which eats into their margins. They don't upsell high-margin software add-ons to existing customers. They innovate slowly and reluctantly. Companies that aren't good at turning a profit don't tend to be worth much.

When was the last time you saw a Tesla ad on TV? When was the last time you saw Toyota or Ford sell a $7,000 driver assist upgrade or a $2,000 speed upgrade (both delivered over-the-air and instantly)? When was the last time you saw a Tesla dealer and not a store where you just go buy a Tesla like an iPhone? Tesla has the chance to dominate the car the way Apple dominates the smartphone and capture an enormous amount of value in the process, way more than any traditional car company has been able to.
One pain is sandboxing makes it difficult to migrate data from v1 to v2. You need to build an elaborately kludgey data export/import feature by hand, in both versions.

More importantly, how do you charge upgrade pricing? Any user who encounters 2.0 on the store is charged the same price, whether they own 1.0 or not. There is no easy way to give 1.0 owners a discounted price.

There are elaborate kludges to work around these limitations with a great deal of work. Apple could make producing upgrade versions easy, like they’ve done with subscriptions, so devs can focus on improving their product value instead of purchasing mechanisms.
Or LI tells these advertisers "my my do I have this large interesting target group based on your criteria" which was a bit inflated. Who knows.
I think the stores are also used as a way to unconsciously create an impression in the person's mind that Apple is luxury brand.

I do think that needs some stronger sourcing. It is one thing to argue that certain wiki articles have some bias or the other, but a categorical claim that it is an Islamist and left propaganda machine seems rather bizarre at first cut.

At the moment these claims seem to be supported by some random tweets?

> They the major players in EV in all major EV markets, US, Europe, China.

https://insideevs.com/news/442139/norway-etron-eqc-sales-aug...

In a more mature EV market like Norway where there's actual competition and consumer choice, Tesla isn't doing so hot. From the article:

Audi e-tron - 755
Mercedes-Benz EQC - 595
Polestar 2 - 504 (according to separate source)
Volkswagen e-Golf - N/A (511 total with ICE; mostly BEV)
Hyundai Kona Electric - N/A (413 total with ICE; mostly BEV)
MG ZS EV - 281
Nissan LEAF - 270
Tesla Model 3 - 264 (total Tesla brand: 348)
Renault ZOE - 221
BMW i3 - 152

That's about a 7% market share (edit: New car sales in Norway, August, 2020) for Model 3, 9% for all Tesla models combined.

If the VW group is already outselling Tesla in Norway 5 to 1 just in the BEV category, how can Tesla's market cap be 4 times higher than VW's? It fundamentally doesn't make sense.
I guess it would apply to Alphabet as well

They can be targeted with economic sanctions, as Lukashenko and many of his government officials have been. If they're willing to pay the cost of the sanctions... that's pretty much the extent of the options, as long as their wrongdoing stays within their borders. The principle of sovereignty ultimately means a government doesn't have to be a free democracy if it doesn't want to.

With GPT-3 getting so many people interested in NLP, and with OpenAI's recently announced pricing plan putting it out of many people's reach, I thought it might be useful for some to see how easy it is to deploy your own GPT-2 API.

This project uses a couple tools:

- Cortex: An open source model serving platform I help maintain. https://github.com/cortexlabs/cortex

- Hugging Face's Transformers: An open source library for using popular language models, like GPT-2. https://github.com/huggingface/transformers

This project uses a vanilla pre-trained GPT-2 and PyTorch. If you want to use TensorFlow/ONNX, that's supported as well ( https://github.com/cortexlabs/cortex/tree/master/examples/te... ).

If you want to finetune GPT-2 on your own text (a la AI Dungeon), I'd suggest using gpt-2-simple and deploying with Cortex: https://github.com/minimaxir/gpt-2-simple

Lastly, by following this example, you can deploy your API locally (where inference will probably be slow, depending on your hardware, but will cost you $0) or to a cluster on AWS, which Cortex can spin up/manage for you.

Sooo, I've spent hundreds of thousands on LinkedIn Ads on behalf of clients. Here is my take:

Ad platforms work in varying degrees for different products and companies. You should not dismiss an ad platform based on poor performance alone without understanding why it performed poorly.

It's sort of like with airlines: If you boycott an airline for every minor offense, pretty soon you'll have no option but to take the train.

In this case, it's disingenuous to paint an entire ad platform--that does hundreds of millions in revenue[1]--as "awash in mistaken clicks and bot traffic" based on a campaign that ran for just 1.5 days and resulted in 11 clicks. (They say they saw similar results from larger campaigns, but they don't show them.)

But Ok, let's say we take out the generalizations. I get that it's disconcerting for any company to find they were charged for traffic that bounced within a second. In that case you need to look for the root cause, and see if it can be resolved or worked around.

In this case the root cause should be painfully obvious to experienced marketers like the authors: Most of the 11 clicks seems to be from mobile traffic (as seen in their Fullstory report), where it is remarkably easy for users to accidentally click on an ad in their news feed. They do mention this possibility in both the video and the title, but they seem to underestimate the likelihood of this being the root cause, and talk too much about bots instead. I've seen this exact misclick behavior in Twitter and for that reason I stopped advertising there.

Unlike Twitter, however, LinkedIn lets you work around this. They offer a "lead gen" campaign type, which requires two clicks (one on the ad, and one more on the "submit form" button) and sharing of contact information before the advertiser is charged. I've still seen funky results from this--such as users saying they don't recall submitting any form--but in much fewer cases than with simple image ads.

Today, when I run LinkedIn campaigns, it is almost always with lead gen ads. The results are far better than this anecdotal post suggests. Some issues still come up, and I've found that attempting to troubleshoot them leads to a better outcome for the business than dismissing the entire ad platform.

Stage 3 has totally confused me. I feel like there's more to it because everyone here keeps saying "you'll know for sure when you get to the end" but nothing has happened for a _really_ long time. I've launched maxed out my probe designs (20/20 max trust), launched 13mil (got a loop running just continuously launching them) but I'm still at 0% universe explored and no new projects in a while. Got a random limerick because my creativity built up to half a mil, but it didn't actually do anything. I'm just leaving it running in the background in case something eventually happens because right now I don't know what to do next. I'm about 6 hours into this bloody game so I don't want to just call it quits now lol
Just wish there was a place like HN but with people who see the bullshit in imperialism. This is the place I come for rational discussion but when it comes to geopolitical issues, the globalist/western propaganda is rampant. Being from a country that has always been under US interventionism makes it unnerving. Lots of the people here, even if more (copy)left leaning, when it comes to geopolitics they just believe the western anti-communist koolaid; which is the reason I refrain from commenting anything that goes against the "commom sense" western propaganda.
Lots of people use it. The feed aspect of it is useless. But in terms of a network it's great. I've found 2 out of my last 3 jobs there. Assume it's also great for organic marketing as well where you target associates of your current clients.
There was a heat wave, yes, but other than that not a particularly high risk of wildfires early this weekend. The wind wasn't terrible and there wasn't a Red Flag Warning issued (that's a fire weather warning). They started their hike on a long weekend, the last long weekend of the summer over here. And late August / early September is one of the best times of year for hiking in the Sierra. The bugs have died off, temperatures remain pleasant, the thunderstorms have usually passed, and after Labor Day (the first Monday in September) the crowds die down. In the high country, wildfire risk is usually low as well, so smoke is really the only thing to worry about. This fire grew remarkably fast, from 0 to 100,000 acres in about 36 hours, and happened to be rather close to the location they chose for their trip. Sure, they should have known that smoke from wildfires was a risk during this trip, but it's pretty reasonable to not expect this kind of impact going into your trip. In general, this time of year is a very good time to head into the mountains.
I feel so conflicted when I read posts that consider Tesla "the best". I did benchmarking on all automotive interiors, exteriors, and infotainment systems, and Tesla was Kia level.

The interiors and exteriors were actually bad. The infotainment system was buggy and cheap, but it was feature rich and fast. If it wasn't Tesla, people would hate it for not having buttons.

The reliability is notoriously bad too.

I don't see any genuine argument for "Best", they might have the hardest, lowest paid workers, or the only car you can natively play a 30 year old video game, but when comparing Tesla to Nissan or GM EVs, I don't see why you'd get a Tesla.

It's more expensive and you get less.
>Some people disliked Tesla's recent profitable quarters because they used green credits from Europe to make a fraction of their profit. Why is that a downside? Every industry has huge governmental incentives, that's nothing new.

It's not about "disliking" the profits. The incentives are good.

It's people saying, "Tesla is profitable!", when all of the tiny profits come from one time charges.

>The Europeans, who actually legislate based on science and reality, are supporting BEVs (Tesla)

Did you know Tesla sales are down over most of Europe, as the "ICE companies" put out competitive vehicles?
Russell is clamping down on multi-class shares, too: https://research.ftserussell.com/products/downloads/FTSE_Rus...

In practice, this would likely involve recreating at least some of the presentation side of numerous changing (some constantly) Web apps. Which is a substantial programming overhead.

> The only chance I see for Firefox is doubling down on that and replacing more and more components with those Rust rewrites

If Firefox has no more Rust developers now, it can't "double down" on replacing components, and all software is prone to bitrot, so after a few years, it will be an unmaintainable, buggy mess.

I think the difference today is that the normal path is that an artist does a lot of stuff, potentially quite innovative, and is _then_ discovered (or not; see Van Gogh for instance). And at that point, maybe discovered by the market, not a single patron; I believe an artist having a single patron has been rather unusual for at least the last century.

A few hundred years ago, by contrast, artists tended to get into it via, essentially, apprenticeship to another artist, and attempt to get a patron that way. Some artists ended up being technically proficient, but stylistic innovation was very, very slow and minor by comparison to the late 19th century on.
Good hour-long interview on someone that was (at the time) on that committee:

> Today on the Rational Reminder Podcast we have joining us Dr. David Blitzer who is the Managing Director and Chairman of the S&P Dow Jones index committee. He has been there from the time when indexes were barely even being traded and the first time S&P Futures began trading, and since then, indexing has turned into the massive phenomenon we all know today. Indeed, S&P indexes were (and still is) at the center of this explosion. Today Dr. Blitzer talks to us about the early days of indexing and shares some of his ideas about why indexing became so popular. We also discuss the possible reasons why some people still choose actively managed funds and the effect that the abundance of research has had on their dwindling appeal. Ever wondered where the rapid growth in indexing will end up? What happens after indexing? Can indexing become too big? Be sure to join us for this masterclass on indexing!

> As a rhetorical device, Bregman takes Jean-Jacques Rousseau's more hopeful account of humanity in a state of nature. For Rousseau the problem is not what is hidden by the veneer—human nature is fine—it is civilisation itself.

Hmmm, without the veneer of civilisation, we would be basically apes with oversized brains. Apes cooperate just fine within their own group, they are social animals after all, but between different groups it can get very nasty very fast. Which is of course what we can see all around the world at a larger or smaller scale (wars, social networks, election campaigns, racial tensions etc.) but I doubt getting rid of civilisation is a solution for these problems...
>It's a bad look on the SP500 if Tesla continues its rise

It's a bad look if TSLA crashes and takes people's retirements funds down with it because of this "committee decision".
I agree that western companies’ decision to ignore human rights in favor of cheaper prices is a problem but it seems like an escalation to go from ignoring the issue to publicly supporting the organizations involved with the full knowledge that they use things like that both as part of their public defense and to gauge how much more they can get away with.

40 year old tech-entrepreneur here. In my 30s, I became the tech lead who I needed as a co-founder. I learned by doing, with periods of great intensity, over many years. There's so much I haven't accomplished yet and so much more to learn. Setting the right goals has been just as challenging as learning how to accomplish them. I take a first-principles approach to understanding fundamentals rather than simply hacking together a solution. This is a very time and energy-consuming approach, but it lends itself to stronger long-term results. Expertise compounds itself over time, block by block. The first year working with any new domain of material is always the hardest, but enduring the process ultimately yields great returns. Endurance is essential to growth. Anyone out there who is reading this and experiencing hardship, do not give up! These hard times will pass, your fears will subside, and a stronger version you will remain. You can achieve your goals!
