So actually I had a pair of "unrepairable" sneakers repaired, a £150 pair of Ecco shoes where the sole completely wore out, I kept asking around if they could be possibly repaired and found a cobbler in Edinburgh that replaced the sole for £50 - it was perfect fit, they somehow gave them a brand new lease of life.

But of course the main problem here is that you could easily buy a new pair of shoes for £50.....

The choice isn't cars or no cars, that's a completely false dichotomy.

The choice is to legalize other forms of mobility beyond a car.

People in the US are so car-addled that when I suggest something like this, they can't even imagine a life where they can buy groceries without using a car. It's quite shocking!
And it the connector had essentially no relation to the voltage or current required by the device so you couldn't tell just by fit alone what was compatible with what. You could easily damage a device with too much voltage. USB-C might be unclear about what the cable and endpoints capabilities are, but it also won't damage anything to connect stuff together without knowing.
Everyone thinks ads don't work on them. Everyone. Its like that meme about people on 40k worrying about taxes on billionairs. Ads are about the most dangerous thing you encounter on a daily basis. They make you eat badly and stress you out and damage your self worth.
Distinctions like this are why people feel the government is hopelessly corrupt. It really makes no difference whose pocket it’s going into. It’s paying money to game the system.
I didn't realize from the link title that it also collided with the stopped vehicle. Wow.

It made me wonder, are the driving models trained at all to recognize accidents or other road anomalies? A plane making an emergency landing in front of them? Just curious.

Edit: Would also be interested to know if there's a way police could work with Tesla or other autopilot carmakers to broadcast special codes like don't-hit-us-here-is-our location, or just send a signal blocking autopilot, or whatever. They already send texts and radio alerts, and there are already local AM alert stations in the US anyway.

If my kids would be driving, I'd rather buy from that kind of manufacturer.
Foisting this foreign and uniquely-European idea of land ownership on societies that never had such a concept to begin with seems so utterly colonialist to me.

As told by the history and traditions orally passed down from generation to generation, from elders to the young, we know that our ancestors did not consider themselves to "own" land. And they certainly did not have treaties amongst themselves and others before colonizers arrived.

Land is something that all spirited creatures, from humans through to the deer through to the tiniest of insects and fungus, share. We never "own" it, but merely coexist with it for a limited period of time.

The land is as much, or as little, ours as it is the bison's, or the elk's, or the snapping turtle's.

We may drive away the bear, or he may drive away us, but in the end the land is where it will be and how it will be.

None of us "own" it. It isn't "native land". It is just land.

Yes, I assumed that is was a push to drive consumers to more electric cars by increasing the fuel economy penalties, not that they were making money directly from it. I did not realize that Tesla could sell credits to other companies to offset those penalties.
I'm the same. Never had an issue with keyboard usage, but started to run into trouble with the mouse usage. I used a wacom tablet as my daily driver for a while but it was a bit too inconvenient.

Dispute resolution:

This "service" has pros and cons. It is one reason why vendors hate credit cards. You never know when you can be sure that the payment really was done. Or if it will suddenly disappear again.

We’re excited to announce the close of our Series B funding round, with investment by Maersk, Metaplanet, and BMW. As a result of the round, we’ve achieved a $1.5 Billion valuation, making us the world’s first electrofuels unicorn.

This month, we received strong support from the White House, as well as some of world’s largest, most iconic brands that have been nothing short of bold in backing innovative tech to decarbonize their industries — American Airlines, Maersk, and BMW. Their support marks a rising recognition of the incredible promise that our zero net carbon electrofuels hold in getting the planet to Net Zero by 2050.

On September 9, the Biden administration included Prometheus and our zero net carbon electro-Sustainable Aviation Fuel, or electro-SAF, in its plan to phase out fossil jet fuel and make aviation carbon neutral by 2050.

American Airlines, responding to the White House’s goal, cited our zero net carbon electro-SAF as key to decarbonizing its fleet, which, at over 880 aircraft, is the world’s largest. The airline’s support came on the heels of its recent agreement to buy 10 million gallons of our fuel.

Said Doug Parker, American Airlines Chairman and CEO: “We’re excited to partner with Prometheus to scale up the production of zero net carbon electrofuels. Their ability to produce 100% carbon neutral SAF at a price lower than fossil jet fuel and to not be limited in the scale of future production is the strongest indicator we’ve seen that a 100% carbon neutral aviation future can be achieved in time.”

Maersk Growth, the venture arm of A.P. Moller - Maersk, led our Series B round. Maersk, the world’s largest container logistics company, responsible for moving nearly 17% of the world’s container capacity, has been a take-no-prisoners, accept-no-half-measures trailblazer in decarbonizing its operations and the maritime shipping industry at large.

So we were honored when Maersk’s Head of Decarbonization, Morten Bo Christiansen, had this to say: “Prometheus Fuels is developing a very exciting and innovative technology to produce carbon based electrofuels from direct air capture of CO2. Electrofuels are expected to play a key role for the decarbonisation of shipping and, if scaled successfully, Prometheus Fuels’ technology will address a key constraint for carbon based electrofuels — namely the cost competitiveness of direct air capture.”

BMW i Ventures, who led our Series A round last year, doubled-down to join our Series B as well.

Most interesting, I should take note of that. thank you.
Of course, and it’s similar in the United States.

I’m not saying it’s not a matter of concern at all, it’s just that here in the US we’ve absolutely hamstrung all other modes of transportation besides cars, which is not helpful for poor people, not to mention all of the many other policies we have that adversely effect the poor.

It’s just in this one discussion that people come out of the woodwork suddenly proclaiming how terrible anti ice policies are for the poor, and never with any suggestion for compromise eg “if we do this, it would have an adverse effect on the poor, we could mitigate that with X”.

Therefore it’s hard to read it as anything other than disingenuous.
Our management team received scathing emails from clients and potential clients that said "fire this person or never work in this industry again" (mind you some of these came from billionaires and CxO's of Private Equity funds).

Has anything like this reached the media, or is the media at similar risk? I'm sure some employment lawyers or journalists out there would love to know more about this kind of backroom pressure, whether right or left.

Another thread mentioned that as a figurehead of Facebook, Zucc being named in this could conceivably lead to bad outcomes for shareholders via bad press.

My question is, if he was named would that lead to an investigation of his personal actions and dealings becoming public? If visibility into internal workings of the CEO is bad for shareholders then that's the way it ought to be I feel.
Think about it: if a device's gyroscope is left idle, it presumes the behavior of a virtual machine. I imagine trust scores use this as a metric when deciding if the user is human or a machine: `device was left in the same geo-coords for a long period of time`: then it is a bot.

There's a big difference between a physical hardware attack (that is fully unspecified and fully FUD), and an actual threat to IT departments (ex: insecure BMC that needs to be isolated into its own VLAN).

The minute you start thinking about "how do I protect my company's computers from this attack?" is the minute the Bloomberg article falls apart. Asking for further details just resulted in Bloomberg clamming up and remaining silent on any additional details.

Bloomberg has had multiple years at this point to provide the details needed to be useful to IT departments everywhere about their purported attack. At some point, we just gotta assume that they were making things up.

-----

Lets say Bloomberg is correct about these hypothetical chips being placed into ill-specified motherboards. No attack is perfect: this is all computer equipment after all. It needs to be powered, it needs to have communications to the outside world, it needs to have spy-information (aka: taking information from the motherboard).

Its unlikely that a small chip with low-power could interface with high-speed components (ie: RAM, PCIe, Southbridge, SATA), it wouldn't have enough power. Etc. etc. Whatever the hypothetical attack is, there would be physical requirements it needs to satisfy.

All point back to the BMC: a low-bandwidth interface with huge amounts of information, with highly proprietary / likely insecure code running. So we think about how hardware could be used to hack this interface.

At which point, we immediately enter the realm of ridiculousness, because BMCs are CPUs in their own rights and simply run software to do their job. For a "zero-hardware" attack, China could just be rewriting BMC firmware or something way, way, waaaaay easier than what was described in the Bloomberg article.

Now China doesn't have to worry about replacing chips at all, and they still get all their spy-craft working.

------

But guess what? I think most IT departments are well aware of the proprietary and possibly insecure BMC interface. That's why there's a lot of discussions online about how to protect that interface.

also the "going to landfills" bit is really FUD. Tesla repairs your vehicle by installing a new battery, and tesla recycles the old battery themselves. The loop is as small as possible and there is no landfill in it.

> the computation requirement itself still delays updating the network

Yes, but that's intentional and configurable, e.g. the ten minutes of average time between blocks on the btc chain. You could very easily lower that value by modifying the difficulty adjustment formula. The same amount of pow would be done for a unit of time (say 1 hour), but with higher throughput through more frequent blocks. At that point this becomes a discussion about propagation times, network quality and node speeds, all unrelated to pow.

Or am I misunderstanding what you said?

From their blog:

>A few notions that underlie this idea of being “Indigenous” in a particular place in Africa may seem obvious, but need stating:

>The importance of knowing ones’ ancestors and their ties to the land

> Knowledge of local power structures and traditions

> Knowledge of religious and spiritual traditions that are tied to land and living in a particular place

> Knowledge of language, ethnic traditions, and governance

> That language and ethnicity may intersect in unusual ways, and neither is necessarily an indicator of indigeneity

The criterion seems to be, "how much alienation of European modernity have you absorbed?", which is just kinda strange to me; everyone in Africa who is not an Afrikaner has been there for tens of thousands of years and has some measure of a relationship to their ethnic traditions, so what would be the threshold? Native Americans have a similar situation where there's a spectrum of "alienation".

The displacement of the more primordial human lineages such as the Hadza and Khoisan happened ~8,000 years ago in the Bantu expansion, from which the majority of African languages we know today descend.

Software is eating the world, as Marc Andreessen says. So who controls the software -- including by controlling the hardware the software runs on -- controls the world.

This means that every polity that wants to be truly independent needs to control its computing infrastructure, ideally all the layers of the technology stack from chips to social media. So it would be well worth polities such as the USA or EU putting up whatever level of import tariffs (and other measures) it takes to encourage manufacturers to do these things domestically.

Not that doing so would be that much more expensive anyway. The cost of low-level assembly line labour per iPhone is probably only a few dollars. I'd guess that building them in the USA would only add $10-20 to the cost.
Interesting way to put it: "Gödel for transcendentals" - probably only able to put it that way with the benefit of time.

The relationship between the Russell/Gödel camp and Wittgenstein is complicated - In some ways at odds (as they grew apart Russell thought Wittgenstein was dedicating his life to not thinking) but I think they were concerned with the same questions.

Gödel and Wittgenstein would probably both agree that you can't describe the system from within the system. Gödel was more interested pulling the threads and exploring the edges of that, whereas Wittgenstein took that to mean philosophy (at least as it pertains to living) was a lost cause and distraction from reality. In other words, I feel they were on the same page but had completely different ultimate interests.

And ultimately, the Russell camp won - a modern echo of that is the search for the one equation that will describe all of reality, or at least a belief that even if we never find it there is still one out there. Wittgenstein would probably believe that no man made system could fundamentally describe reality.

It's largely been ignored, yes, because where do you go from there? Someone who believes in Wittgenstein is probably more likely to join the army or become an architect than become a philosopher, which guarantees that it will be ignored. Evolutionarily it's an idea that doesn't fit into the ecosystem.
