Installing CUDA (with kernel driver, CuDNN, Tensorflow/PyTorch) has not been easy for me either. Usually you want to have the latest version of all of them. But sometimes the very latest version of these packages is not yet supported by the other. This is where it get difficult. Also the fact that the CUDA instruction from TensorFlow [1] still are at Ubuntu 18.04 does not help.
In my experience installing PyTorch with CUDA is easier than TensorFlow (and much better documented).
The best experience, in my opinion, is however with CUDA and Flux.jl or Knet.jl on Julia. All you need there is the kernel driver (and julia). CUDA and CuDNN will be installed per default if necessary. I am wondering why CUDA is not simply a pip-installable package (like it is in Julia or in Conda).

In another video they talk about how initially they are targeting the recently lessened restrictions on backyard units in CA, so yeah, AirBnB and people looking to rent out granny units are the current target I think.

Assuming you can't have outdoor furniture and and host people outside? One of the benefits of a small house might be more usable outdoor area. In Northern California, you generally get at least 3/4 of the year with good weather you can be outside fairly comfortably, and you get quite a bit more in Southern California. I've heard Arizona is quite nice all the time except for the summer months.
This isn’t exactly a realistic proposal for many other reasons as well, but it’s interesting to contemplate.
This kind of thinking, linguistic relativity - that the words available to you shape your worldview - is not really held in high regard as I understand it. At least not in the hard sense, where one is completely unable to conceptualise something because they don't have the words to express it.

For example, some have claimed that if we had no separate terms for "man and woman", "male and female", etc, we'd be unable to perceive a difference between the two.

> the etymological root was gender neutral, with a separate word attested for "masculine" man

For anyone playing at home, this is "were" or "wer". The phrase "man and woman" would once have been something like "were and wif", which is where the "were-" in "werewolf" comes from, and is the ancestor of "wife".

If we want English to be more gender-neutral, we could revert to werman, wifman and man.

But that's a good thing, right? It's good that everybody found out that the government unlawfully collected their data etc.

Snowden was not an attacker asking for money, he was an honest guy with a conscience and a whole lot of courage.

I think the problem here is indeed in how personal his experience is. I don't know where he was born, but presumably not in Berlin/München/Hamburg/Köln. Sure, then moving to study in NYC can make it seem like the culture is much more progressive there. Imagine the opposite: growing up in rural Alabama, and moving to Berlin.

Wouldn't this logic only apply if the distribution is symmetric? We know it can't be symmetric, because there is a lower bound to how cold it can get, but no upper bound to how hot it can get; the question then whether the asymmetry is significant or whether a symmetric model is close enough.

(To clarify: I'm specifically asking about your use of a binomial distribution, not about the linked paper).
I've also found that if I am looking at a longer delivery time then I put more thought into evaluating if I really need the product, or if I could make do with something else, or if there is a better product available elsewhere.

> fallacious thinking popular among westerners: the idea that peaceful protesting or rule-abiding political opposition is generally effective.

Haha, as a westerner, I believe peaceful protest is invariably futile.

Take the 2003 protests against the Iraq war for example - 3 million protested in Rome, 1.5 million in Madrid, 1 million in London, and millions more across the west. What happened? They went to war based on lies anyway. It's always the same.
ETA: Ahaha, I managed to read "days" as "weekdays". The following is now. permanent marker of my reading incomprehension.

IIRC (and it's been a while, so I may well not RC), specifies that 1 is Monday, 2 is Tuesday, ..., 6 is Saturday and both 0 and 7 are Sunday. And the reason that looks weird is that there is (IIUC) a genuine difference between western nations as to if a week starts o Sunday or Monday.

Which, you know, sucks. But, also makes it somewhat easy to make a C array that you can index with a (.tm_wday%7) to easily get the day of the week.

Which may also be the reason why months start at 0.
With an AI assistant, in the best scenario, you'll get a "wisdom of crowds" effect on implementation details and program architecture. At worst, you'll get a lot of opinionated code bloat and anti-patterns as suggestions.

For most backend programming jobs, the challenge is not in writing complex code but figuring out what the business wants, needs and should have in the first place and distinguishing between them. Figuring out how to integrate with existing systems, processes, fiefdoms and code. Knowing when to say yes and no, how to make code future proof, etc. This is a task fundamentally unfit for what we currently call "AI", because it's not actually intelligent or creative yet.

On the frontend, it becomes even more nebulous. Maybe Copilot can suggest common themes like Bootstrap classes for a form, CSS properties, the basic file structure and implementations for components in an SPA, etc. As I see it, the main challenge is in UX there, not the boilerplate, which again makes it about understanding the user, figuring out how to make UI feel intuitive, etc. Again: unfit for current AI.

I cannot offer any opinion on the utility for actually complex, FANG-level code, for lack of experience.
NSA mass surveillance was not just a matter of "wiretap some central points on the internet" as a one-and-done operation. It required thousands of people to work on various infrastructure and operations and to maintain it on an indefinite ongoing basis. It actually would have required far more sophistication and coordination to keep quiet in perpetuity than doing 9/11.

However, in point of fact, mass surveillance actually was kept quiet for years after it was spun up. Long after the evidence had leaked from multiple sources and become undeniable, you would still be called a crackpot if you said to someone on the street that all their electronic communications were being collected and stored indefinitely. Then, on a certain day in 2013, a former CIA employee dumped the NSA's files to the Western press, which obligingly flipped the narrative and dedicated weeks of extensive coverage to the government's shiny, new, and by then well entrenched panopticon. A surveillance system is ultimately most useful in its purpose only if the people know they're being watched, and the time had come for it to be unveiled.

As always, a large amount of media coverage in mainstream press outlets was a good indicator of what it was that the state wanted people focused on. The massively lower level of attention drawn to the Vault 7 leaks (which were arguably even more crucial than Snowden's) is stark and instructive, as is the different fate of the whistleblower (obscurity in prison vs international celebrity status) and a good indication of what they don't want you thinking about.

"... us with our OSS ad blockers turned on."

That's great, but personally I do not use an ad blocker because I do not need to use a browser to search, download or watch video. Nor do I need python or youtube-dl. I download videos with something like

curl -4o 1.mp4 $(curl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1234567890a|sed "s/\\u0026/\&/g"|grep -o "https://r[0-9]\{1,2\}--[^\"]*"|sed -n /itag=22/p)

except I do not use curl.

I play videos with ffmpeg-based players. I do not need to be online to play video.

Tech companies that rely on advertising to generate revenue (and thus need "scale") want others to believe advertising is necessary for there to be free stuff shared via the internet.

I know that's not true because I have been downloading free stuff via the internet, including video, since before YouTube or Google existed. I also know that peer-to-peer is the most efficient way to share stuff, not server-client. Middlemen selling ads are not necessary.

People are going to share stuff for free as long as the internet exists, regardless of whether Google or anyone makes money from advertising. That's what makes the internet interesting, not middlemen like Google or people using the internet for commercial gain.

There are a few folks with some pedigree desperate for attention on Social media. They refer obliquely without evidence to plausible methods or peddle 'click-bait' thoughts. Mr.Bret Weinstein and his brother Mr.Eric Weinstein, appear to belong to this category - they kind of support each other well. Mr.Eric Weinstein for example, dangles a few incomplete physics theories without any formal proof. This is in sharp contrast to true legends like Mr.Grigori Perelman who posted a complete proof of the Poincare conjecture on Arxiv and turned down the Fields Medel.

That's backwards because the raspberry pi SoC is backwards. The reason there is a "RPi-way of booting" is that the RPi is not an "ARM computer", it is a video core "computer" (technically the video core is just a graphics chip) running a proprietary OS called threadX that just happens to have ARM cores.
> Maybe you're in the wrong thread, then?

maybe. or maybe the thread is pointless and i'm just pointing it out.

> The scenario you are describing is the immunocompromised person whose body can't quite kill the virus, but also puts selection pressure on it. Such cases have been described, but whatever mutation would come out of that is not necessarily going to be much more effective at overcoming the defenses of a normal immune system.

i'd wager more than 99% of those mutations won't be more effective. i'm worried about the tail risk in the remaining 1%. i don't know how many mutations are needed for the virus to become sufficiently different for human immune system to stop being recognized and this scenario is the best way to find out.

> The Sars-CoV2 virus will almost certainly stick around and it will keep mutating, even with the best of vaccination efforts. Nature finds a way. We'll have to get used to it.

no disagreement about that. in the long run we're all dead anyway. my issue with just letting it run its course is timing and cost - the argument is that it gets much easier much quicker for all of us with the best vaccination effort compared to alternatives.
Doesn't look much cheaper than a regular home. Maybe faster to build, but not necessary cheaper.

It would not help battle the overvalued property prices, since in most expensive areas it's the land that drives home price up, not the building price itself.
> They also state this in their FAQ

$5k to $50k is a big range. In the video on the article about Musk's unit[1] they state they're initially targeting Accessory Dwelling Units, and specifically California's recently relaxed laws regarding them. I'm not sure the laws specifically regarding those (but there's info here[2]), but I suspect it's a lot cheaper when you're allowed to hook up to the existing house's sewer and power.

It may well be closer to $100k all said and done for a unit not set up as an ADU, but I suspect that the answer to the original question (of who this targets) is "not the people that need to pay $50k in install fees, at least not initially".

Certainly it would be possible to build higher than construction currently goes in SF, but permission is not the only reason why there are fewer skyscrapers. Manhattan and Hong Kong are essentially massive regions of granite that you can build pretty much anything on top of. That sort of geology is not particularly common. You can't just put up skyscrapers everywhere. They'd fall over eventually.

The capitalist nature of Taiwan is another reason: it's undermining the CCP ideology. TSMC is a distant third economic reason.

> The west has been trying to spread liberal democracy for over the past 100 years. It is successful in some places, but not in others.

I think success largely depends on how democracy arrives - we've seen time and time again that forcing it upon a country (whether by military force or the more skullduggerous, CIA kind of force) is doomed to failure. I believe it needs to come naturally, slowly, over time.
> interesting, I think I describe my criteria identically to you, but I have different conclusions. The thing aboht markdown and org-mode is that it's fully readable without any extra requirements whatsoever, as opposed to e.g. jupyter, word, etc.

Well, yes, but no. It's more readable than the json or xml-files used by jupyter or word (which technically are still plain text). But they are less readable then any markup-free plain text. If you use slightly complex markup, like links or tables, they can become quite unreadable too. That's the nature of complexity. Additionally, you still must be aware of the syntax and it's rules, especially when you wanna write it, not just read them.

That's why simple markups considered an in-between. The requirements are low, but they still are there.

> So I would say it doesn't _need_ tools, but can _benefit_, as opposed to word/etc.

True, but what are the benefits of using them without tools? Why not go full freestyle plain text? Use whatever text you want, make syntax up on the spot as you need it. That would be 100% plain text, as there is no cage that limits your expressioness.

We have a very similar situation here in North Macedonia with Chinese built highways and a loan covered by the Chinese Export Import Bank in the amount of ~640 million euros. (Later the cost of the projects increased by ~180 million euros more.)

Corrupted state officials took a 25 million euros cut for giving the contract to the Chinese construction firm Sinohydro. (This was confirmed in tapped phone conversations that were leaked to the public.)

Then prime minister Nikola Gruevski that was involved in the scandal and who negotiated the "cut" is on the run in Hungary, he was granted political asylum by prime minister Viktor Orban. Gruevski was indicted for other shady deals as well and faced a prison sentence here in North Macedonia.

Nearly 10 years after the projects started most of the highway corridors are not completed and they are nowhere near completion.

It is also well known that a lot of the construction workers are Chinese prisoners that were brought in here to work on the highways. I am not sure if their stay in the country is somehow regulated or if they are compensated somehow.
