Well, take it up with GPT3 since it wrote that reply. :P

Though I don't fully disagree with it, though 'nothing more' is a bit too strong. The author of a GPT3 written comment like the one here where the prompt was pretty much just the thread is pretty much just the RNG. The language model makes the random choice draw from the distribution of plausible texts, and the RNG picks the output.

GPT3 could have written your comment-- if only it drew the right random numbers.
I like Waze too, but just wanted to point out that they are also owned by Ggogle.
A bit of a stretch to classify this under right to repair.. if you rent a car from tesla, it’s going to be up to tesla to choose how it’s repaired. And it doesn’t seem unreasonable that they won’t accept a hack fix (however safe it may be) - that car is going to be sold to someone once the lease expires, they just can’t take the risk

I would read this as a cautionary tale against renting your cars. If you can’t buy it, don’t! This holds true for any depreciating asset.
> If so, I don't think that really applies to what the article is talking about.

My comment was in reply to this comment by MauranKilom:

> > Maybe I have a wrong conception of what research is supposed to achieve, but commercializing new insights is absolutely one of the intended outcomes. One would sure hope that taxpayer money isn't funneled into research to... just enable more research.

And further on your comment:

> The article is talking about Alphabet [commercializing results from public datasets without needing to pay for them] That's more akin to how it was before Bayh-Dole:

Indeed, pre Bayh-Dole, publicly funded research was public (consider it public domain, or at least "MIT licensed") and anyone could use it.

Now everything has to be licensed from university licensing departments, typically with an expensive exclusive. Which has had a distorting effect on research, not merely restricting use (have you ever tried to work with a university licensing office? They consider even the most trivial results to be Nobel prize class) but, because they are a source of revenue, bending resource allocation, tenure, etc much as sports teams do for the schools that have them.
That's a neat observation.

Each handwritten letter requires distinct motor skills (manipulating pen angles, pressure etc.), whereas each keyboard-typed letter requires a much smaller set of nearly identical motor skills (just a "tap").
>And two of the streets on the screen are named!

Man, I thought I was going nuts. For a pretty long time now I've just been dumbfounded when no or seemingly arbitrary street names are rendered (usually when I zoom in; when it counts). This happens for all sorts of streets, regardless of their significance. It's slightly insane this still occurs.
I was troubled that Walmart and Target remained open, but the local hardware store had to close. Too big to close, perhaps?
The license gives customers a way to track your reputation.
Loaded for me!

(Meanwhile, I got a "Can't serve requests that fast" from HN when I first tried to reply.)
And they don't give you the street name until your 3 miles or less. Its the dumbest thing ever. The numbers are so small on the actual exits and if your in HOV lane it doesn't say exit for exit # 118. It says exit for sunset blvd.

> Find any person who is overweight but claims they starve themselves and log and count calories. In 100% of cases you will find a calorie excess, likely significant. Find someone who is a healthy weight but claims they "eat anything they want". In 100% of cases -- okay 99.9% maybe they have a big tapeworm -- they will have a lower caloric intake.

I take great issue with you saying 'they claim to starve themselves'. The entire point is that people who are obese can feel that they are starving while eating twice the calories that they should. Some other people feel full after eating half the calories that they should. This is the almost the entire problem, the unexplained difference.

And, despite your claim, there are also demonstrable differences in the base metabolic rate between people. One of the most basic is the difference between men and women, which is usually estimated to be about 25% — men are generally accepted to have to eat about 2500 Cal per day to keep their weight, while women should only eat about 2000 Cal (for example, by the NHS [0]). There is no reason to think that, if there can be a 25% difference in the BMR between men and women, there can't be similar differences between individuals as well. Of course, you won't find anyone who eats 10k Cal and is not gaining weight (outside professional athletes, perhaps), or anyone who is eating 100 Cal and not losing weight. But it's quite plausible for someone to eat two extra pizza slices and still lose weight compared to someone else.

We still don't understand much of the inner workings of our own body. It's a bit like the divide between quantum physics and the macroscopic world. We have successfully observed and modeled individual processes as they happen at a cellular level, and we can draw some statistical conclusions at the whole body level, but much of the area in-between is basically unknown.

One just needs to look at nutrition or the farce that is "nutrition science". We only barely understand what we are supposed to eat to maximize our health, and that's such a basic and fundamental concept that I feel anything like "brute force treatments computationally to fix this gap." would require multiple generational leaps in our understanding. In other words, I feel like you are extrapolating to space flight when we have just recently invented the catapult.

Hell, we are only starting to suspect that the gut biome affects our consciousness. How crazy is that? And yet it is a very sobering indicator of how little we know. The human body is an incredibly complicated system with so many feedback loops that I'd put it in the same class as solving the halting problem or establishing a grand unified theory of physics.

We have modern robotics and tools like laser knives, but we still have to poke needles into a patient's brain to determine where to cut out tumors. I don't mean to disparage the doubtlessly talented surgeons of today, but to me this seems barely above medieval techniques. Our tools have improved 100 fold, our understanding just barely.

I think at best the prediction we can make is that "we believe eventually all diseases should be treatable". But to say that in the next 50 years we can become functionally immortal (treat all diseases), is a very long stretch IMO.
The people I know that did copy editing reviewed articles for presentation & ordering of material, clarity of expression, and a variety of other factors that make the content more readable.

Take two scientific researcher of the same discipline & scientific skill level, and one of them might be a very poor communicator. Multiple levels of the editorial process addressed those issues, copy editing included.

Changes were not made without the author's approval: They were edited, proofs sent to the author, who signed off, or declined some changes while adding others. It would then be reviewed by the publisher's editors again, and if all went well a final proof was sent out for a final sign off.

I'm not sure why you doubt this sort of thing: I lived in that world, on the tech side of a small/medium scientific publisher, and saw it all happen & built some of the systems that facilitated the process. It wasn't wasted effort: margins weren't very big and where I worked they would have been happy to get rid of a few staffers if the process didn't require them.

If you published an article through a reasonably sized publisher in a somewhat well-known, did you different experience? If so, then either the practices vary greatly among different publishers, or practices have changed a lot since the early 00's (which may very well be the case)
Oh, they're in control.

They just can't compete with the State & media power that convinces their peers that everything is business as usual.

"Manufactured Consent"
I heartily agree with the premise, and there's this compounding problem:

"To make matters worse, the owner's insurance policy didn't cover comprehensive claims from road debris..."

So when you combine these two issues, you end up with an unwritten, mob-boss-esque command of something like "Buy the most expensive insurance for all of your expensive widgets so that you can (maybe) be covered in the event that something minor happens"

Seems anti-consumer all the way down.

this could be true that as a different example along the lines of the same conclusion: Women-only medical conditions are less known by medical fields, and there are fewer treatments. Its because the society treats women's lives less seriously. For example pregnancy is still pretty mysterious in general medicine. Birth control pills are to prevent women fertility etc. It could be true that children lives are deemed more important by parents and more researched.

> They used up all the stock for the second shot for initial dose to inflate the numbers and hit the goal.

They are not inflating the numbers, just fulfilling their own promises. The government was pretty much clear in its original plan that it will be initial doses. Initial doses alone do have a positive effect on the reproduction number so this is to be expected.

> We're short on vaccines, which is why the number of people fully vaccinated has stagnated for weeks since June.

If you've got paid and paid your rent in the same week you are not short on money (at least in the common sense), just that your expense is not uniform across weeks. The governmental vaccination plan has been very much non-uniform, partly exaggerated by the fact that SK has a very strong vaccine supply chain and everyone seemingly wants to be vaccinated given a chance.
FWIW, I find the Apple Maps interface & directions to be far more user friendly than Google Maps (at least when using an iPhone).
I’ve noticed the inverse: when I replaced the Chrome new tab page with a custom .html file, I suddenly found myself using Google Search much less, using Google URL suggestions much less, and syncing less data to Google servers. The difference between a useless new tab page and a decent one had a real impact on my habits.

Similarly, when I switched from Google Maps to Apple Maps, the favorites UI was enough better that I started using it more and relying on search less.

There’s definitely a pattern of Google underperforming in ways that make you fall back on Google Search, sending Google data, and viewing Google ads.

I’m skeptical about this reasoning that the company supposedly provided. I don’t think we should assume that they’re under any obligation to tell us the truth about why they’re shutting locations.

I think the real reason is “Amazon, Target, and dollar stores are eating our lunch.”

Without the attached clinics and pharmacies I don’t think Walgreens/CVS have a strong business to begin with.

This publicly-facing explanation puts all the blame on others, not their own store management. Not their understaffed, dumpy stores with high prices and bad products.

Can you think of a single product category that Walgreens or CVS does better than its equally convenient competitors?

I agree. Everyone agrees. That's why FSD Beta 9 is closed to the public. My understanding is that only a few thousand approved drivers can use it.

FSD 9 isn't being "distributed to the public." It's a closed Beta. Please don't attack a straw-man.

I never heard 'Amazon' as metaphor for cheap stuff honestly. Here in Switzerland it's almost always the more expensive option. It just has everything.

This presumes a difference between "normal people" and "nerds" that is not necessarily relevant anymore, if it ever was.
These people seem to be under the illusion that FSD is getting near to being only as flawed as humans who can drive hundreds of thousands of miles without incident. By contrast from the couple dozen FSD Beta drivers who upload to youtube FSD Beta has a near-miss every couple minutes.
I'm very curious about the insurance rejecting the repair.

My understanding (I've never leased a car) is that if you lease a car you must have comprehensive (full coverage) insurance. Either the person failed to do what their lease contract (presumably) mandated, or shockingly you can lease a car without full coverage.

Obviously it depends on what the insurance policy states, but usually comprehensive insurance covers things that aren't even related to driving necessarily like hail, your car getting stolen, etc. It's surprising that they didn't cover this.

Like a lot of questions historical, the more one studies the Industrial Revolution, the more questions one has.

I have often wondered about exactly this kind of thing so it's nice to see a researched take on it. The thing in my mind was always that culturally, an image of "big city industry" arose at some point - but that point clearly wasn't the late 1700's, or even into the first decades of the 1800's. So then, when was it? There are a few reference markers that suggest when that image could have coalesced, though:

* The first railroads of the 1830's

* The gold rushes and immigration waves of the mid-19th (precipitated by faster communication and rising sea traffic)

* The Crimean and US Civil Wars, both "industrial" in their making.

* The completion of transcontinental railroads

* The creation of modern urban sanitation

* The organization of wage labor as a movement, including revolutionary forms

These markers seem to align well with the 1850's-1870's growth figure assessment. The world by 1880 had experienced a vast reallocation of physical resources and human capital, and fell into a new political context premised around those reallocations. In the emerging cities, by day, immigrants toiled in sweatshops; by night, those with the means came out to party underneath the gaslamps. More and more goods were available imported. If you travelled, you bumped shoulders with the vast crowds at hub train stations. And there was always news of something more being invented. All of that made the revolution a visible thing reorganizing everyday life, even if it only tangentially affected you. Before that period, while you might have heard of new developments from afar, most of them did not carry such sudden impact.
