LOQUIS - The travel podcasting platform

LOQUIS is the first travel podcasting platform that applies a digital transformation to create value for real people in the real world. LOQUIS lets you listen and publish geo-located podcasts: stories on buildings and monuments, descriptions of street art, film locations, tips for excursions and visits, historical events, memories, reviews of clubs and restaurants.

From today, the stories of places can be shared and listened to thanks to LOQUIS. We are a platform that finally uses the digital to enhance the real world with the ultimate aim of pushing people to go beyond the screen and rediscover the world they live in.

Neither diversity nor soil was mentioned once in TFA.

Is yield the only relevant metric? What about quantity/impact of pesticides? Amount of fertilizer required? Sustainability of local communities? Negative externalities?
The panels have the advertised resolution, but yes, for "smart" TVs you always have to figure out how to turn off the gross sharpening/compression filters that they use to win the Great Best Buy Screensaver Battle. It can be done, though, and certainly if the manufacturer wanted to omit them in a monitor offering it could.

> Ideally your right, but major stream platforms aren’t available on many smart TVs. The TV is slow, like really slow. Press the Netflix button on my two year old Philips TV and prepare to wait. Other than being slow, the apps are just worse.

Besides ads and tracking, there seems to be a trend: People on here are buying shitty TVs and complaining that they're shitty.

If you buy a cheap TV, you can't expect it to be good. Dumb or smart.

Why is this greyed out? It’s a fair question and not clear to me either what the OP is referring to
Seems like a pretty infuriating state of affairs when India has a horrible rate of accidents and a government that wants to address it. Is there no talk of (for example) mandating mirrors, lights and other important equipment on all vehicles, and ticketing offenders? The next step would be overloaded trucks, (especially if the load is human).
examples?

except for the JVM/electron based apps that I am forced to use, all the Linux native applications are as good as any other system.

Anecdotal, Firefox on Linux is the only incarnation of Firefox I feel comfortable using, I think it's between not great to terrible on other systems. I use WebKit based browser on other OSs.

difference being I can tune the OS to work as I intend and the developer tools are some of the best in their categories, that's not true for the other two.

MacOS is known for being slower and use more RAM on many developers task (docker, for example), but there are things you can only do on a Mac, iOS apps being one, and, honestly, I can't imagine using XCode with maximum 16 GB of RAM for the next few years.

You might develop on MacOS, but then you deploy the artifacts on some Linux box, of course because there is no MacOS server offering, but I wouldn't do it anyway if I had the option.

Windows as a server is not that bad either.

I've worked with all of them in the past 25 years, Linux desktop experience is not as polished as it could be, but for sure it's not slow or bloated in general.

Yes GNOME 40 is not great, GNOME 3 probably killed Linux on desktops, but I don't use it, so...

even Plasma looks super snappy compared to MacOS these days.

Claiming that Apple can double your RAM is a strong claim, that in my experience is not supported by any evidence.

Perhaps the feeling of Apple system being faster comes from the fact that there are only relatively recent Apple machines around and it's rare to see some 8 years old Apple laptop still in use, while my 7 year old laptop with 64gb of RAM costed as much as an M1 Pro but can still do its job relatively well because I can put a lot of things in RAM, reducing the pressure on the rest of IO subsystem (I feel I have to specify that power efficiency is an order of magnitude worse than an M1, if battery life matters to you, Apple is ahead of the competition right now)

But it's no secret that one of the strongest feature of Linux is giving new life to old systems.

I still remember when I upgraded from Snow Leopard to High Sierra and everything became slower, sometimes unusably so.

After 10.6.8 MacOS (best version of the OS I've ever used) has only got worse, in my opinion.
why not just leave the tv off the network?
The key point I see in this is that, given the current ecosystem, attacks are systemic. Plus, given the nature of ML training and datasets, it's expensive to bug fix an attack, if it's even possible.

This right here is the real underlying long term danger:

Lists are fantastic. Pinning them on mobile makes them very accessible. They can be set to private which means that you don't show up as a follower.

I think Twitter has forgotten about them, since they don't display ads.

One can point to many necessary structural features that it is missing. Consider Ashby's law of requisite variety:

https://www.edge.org/response-detail/27150

Many GPT-3 cultists are educated in computer science so they should know better.

GPT-3's "one pass" processing means that a fixed amount of resources are always used. Thus it can't sort a list of items unless the fixed time it uses is humongous. You might boil the oceans that way but you won't attain AGI.

There are numerous arguments along the line of Turing's halting problem that restrict what that kind of thing can do. As it uses a finite amount of time it can't do anything that could require an unbounded time to complete or that could potentially not terminate.

GPT-3 has no model for dealing with ambiguity or uncertainty. (Other than shooting in the dark.) Practically this requires some ability to backtrack either automatically or as a result of user feedback. The current obscurantism is that you need to have 20 PhD students work for 2 years to write a paper that makes the model "explainable" in some narrow domain. With this insight you can spend another $30 million training a new model that might get the answer right.

A practical system needs to be told that "you did it wrong" and why and then be able to correct itself on the next pass if possible, otherwise in a few passes. Of course a system like that would be a real piece of engineering that people would become familiar with, not a outlet for their religious feelings that is kept on a pedestal.

HN is extremely toxic for anyone who's not a VC-adjacent techbro. If you're part of the target audience for /pol/, you wouldn't notice that /pol/ is toxic, either.
Facebook requires you to have max. one profile using your real name and contact details. You won't gain anything by making a new one, and you might actually find it impossible to do (they recently upgraded their multi-account/fake ID detection). Even if you succeed, you'll risk losing access any day.
Nice. I have been waiting for something like this. I will be monitoring closely, and once it has highlight and notes feature, I will move my books from iCloud.
Apple also has hundreds of billions of dollars in reserve, which probably makes a bit of a difference.
>all other solutions are not cross-platform.

What makes you think this?
Audacious.
Yeah. I'll probably stick to the lower end of the most recent models. I'm building a cluster just for study (spark and kubernetes) so no reason to pick models with 4gb or 8gb. Though one higher end may serve as the master. I have not decided yet.
yep, pretty much what i'm saying here. Though not all language models are built the same, eg the inference cost is unique to it due to its size. Still, most of this applies to any typical language model.
I like the cnn-adversarial aesthetic. Psychedelic blobs (sans the swirly demon dog faces), flower paintings and vinyl stickers of organic figures everywhere!
Cant you just get a smart TV and never connect it to wifi?
Read a book?
Well stated and I mostly agree
This technology exists in Europe, it's not allowed in the US due to very specific wording about headlight laws here, but very recently regulations were changed to allow for it. Not sure if it was in the infrastructure bill that already passed, or the follow-up one they're currently trying to pass. Most BMW (and probably Mercedes, Audi etc) with adaptive LED lights built after ~2017 have the hardware for this for use in international markets, and could probably be retrofitted with a firmware update unlocking it for use in the US market.

I don't think it lists 100% of them. For example, I think there might be one that forces a crash for debugging purposes? There are definitely some that are used for displaying errors and things (eg about:httpsonlyerror).

> For the love of god, having a monopoly is not required to be guilty of anti-competitive behavior.

The original comment said monopoly, not anti competitive behavior. They are different, you're right.

> They don't need a de facto monopoly to have an adverse effect on competition or their consumers/users.

True. That said, i'd argue facebook actually has a positive affect on competition in their space. They're regularly rolling out new features and making changes due to competitive forces, meaning others compete on better experience rather than just different.

Eg. FB copied snapchat stories... and snapchat had nothing to stay relevent. FB copied tiktok format and TT is stronger than ever, since TT's advantage wasn't the format but the algorithm.
These attempts to imply a broad equivalence between current machine vision and human capabilities do not hold up under a modicum of scrutiny.

Humans have well-developed models of how things should be, can detect when things seem wrong, and come up with ways to address the apparent anomaly (including taking steps to investigate and evaluate the situation.)

Humans do not always use these capabilities well, but they have them, while similar capabilities are at best rudimentary and fragile in current AI. The premise of this article is that these capabilities will not come easy.
Iirc, Nobel specifically didn’t want there to be a category for math itself?

But I could be misremembering or have misinterpreted what I saw, which was in a non-authoritative source.
These all look good, thanks! I basically just want Chromecast/Apple TV or equivalent in an HDMI port, as high quality as possible with no weird latency issues between video and audio. I don’t mind paying for a good panel, I just don’t like the software and the slow boot times.
A frequentist is shown a coin and is asked what's the probability it will land on heads.

Frequentist: "How the hell should I know?"

The coin is then flipped 10000 times, and it lands on heads exactly 5000 times.

Frequentist: "Definitely not 50%, the coin's gotta be biased".

A bayesian is shown a coin and is asked what's the probability it will land on heads.

Bayesian: "It's 50%!"

The coin is then flipped 10000 times, and it lands on heads exactly 5000 times.

Bayesian: "It's 50%!"

This two-strawmen thought experiment clearly demonstrates the superiority of the Bayesian approach in learning useful information from the real-world observations.

>Why does (consumer) monitor tech always seem to lag TV tech by a few years?....

Monitor used to have "much" lower input latency, higher PPI, much higher refresh rate and generally higher reliability because they are expected to be constantly on. i.e Their panels have different specifications.

Although I am not sure if most of the above are true anymore especially with OLED. Given how TV manufactures have also had focus on gaming. But reliability is still a thing on monitor. That is the similar to reference TV that uses panel from one of two years prior.

Edit: I had to look up Panasonic TV set and panel and then I discovered they are pulling out of TV production and outsource to external partner. Sigh.

Who says I'm using a Roku? My defanged smart TV has a computer (and a Shield that only runs Kodi) attached to it.

Many of us still have large personal media libraries. Samrt TVs do nothing for that.

I got this exact same model today. Never gonna connect it to wifi anyway, seemed perfect.
Winamp is highly modular. Most functionality is in plugins, and you could only install the plugins you want. For example you could exclude the media library, modern skins, and video playback. So, 5.x doesn't have to be bloated.
Downdetector is showing people having trouble. Looks like it's intermittent right now.

It takes effort on behalf of the user to make their
experience on the site "better"

Broadly, I agree.

I would say that for me, Twitter falls approximately halfway between:

1. Facebook: which is only barely tolerable, after much effort, and still seems to optimize for negative emotions, spam, etc

and

2. Reddit: with minimal effort (just need to subscribe to subreddits) it is an entirely personalized experience of exactly what I want to see
In Oakland at the moment the sellers typically get the inspection done, provide the report in the disclosure packet, and then expect an offer with inspection contingency waived.

On the downside, there are the obvious risks in the structure of the incentives - in principle these may be sufficiently mitigated by the need to maintain a good reputation among buyers' agents; in practice they may not be.

On the upside, having had the opportunity (and motivation) to read many tens of such reports meant that I was (I believe) much better at reading them - and had a sense of what was typical amongst the homes I was looking at - by the time I read through the report for the house I wound up buying, and there haven't been any surprises so far...

Yes, there's an option in Settings to automatically open a specific input on startup.
Worth considering a projector, most of them are still "dumb". A model with decent brightness and a good fixed screen you can have a true theater at home for similar price to a higher end TV.
Most agricultural land was short grass or long grass prairie prior to being plowed over. Prairie is the most endangered ecosystem on the planet. Perhaps instead of "reforestation" we can look at restoring native prairie.
This, 100%. I only come to the Orange Website to see what bad ideas are currently popular in the industry, and it never fails to provide.
I use a TCL 6 series and never connected it to the internet. It's pretty dumb. I don't think it can do anything beyond whats possible with the inbuilt Roku software. And it can't dial back home or receive commands because no internet access.
Some the problems are old... and some are new.

The old press was broadcast-only and had to catter to the lowest common denominator. As a result, at least some people were immune.

The new "press" is crowdsourced and tailored just for you. Social media doesn't even have to do research on what works or what doesn't on who. Natural selection by means of retweeting does all the work. You can find misinformation of all levels of sophistication, all the way to incorrect scientific papers if thats your shtick. (It will mostly be based on reading abstract conclusions in those cases without checking quality of methodology, or on whatever the funding intrests of big companies are)
It seems reasonable to propose that perhaps most people do not find that experience "better." Frankly, I've not been that careful about who I follow, and the curated feed is better than the uncurated one.
For farmers, yes, yield is the only goal.

All of those things you mentioned are intangible at this point and are not incentivized. We need to restructure the incentives around farming away from a commodity perspective (yield) and more around quality (sustainability and all that good stuff).

I often say, don't make farmers out to be the bad guys anymore than airplanes, cars, ihpones, etc. that similarly don't price in externalities.
I got a Pi as a gift once, it was neat but I didn't really know what to do with it.
Some people key off the shape enough that they wouldn't follow a wrongly-shaped detour sign, so you wouldn't fool everyone, but you'd absolutely fool a lot of people. I expect I'd be one of them.
I use ZeroTier for this too, although Tailscale would work just as well. To avoid port forwarding out of my local network (irrational fears), I have a $5 droplet running Pomerium (a SSO proxy, similar to self-hosted Cloudflare Access) and it sits on my ZeroTier network along with the boxes at my house, proxying requests (once they are authenticated) through ZeroTier to the boxes on the private network.

It works very well. Pomerium is easy-ish to configure (especially because it takes care of certs for you), and I can log into stuff on my LAN without having to boot up the ZeroTier client which takes a minute to connect on iOS (or from devices that don't have ZeroTier installed). I would've used Cloudflare Access + Argo Tunnel, but at the time they were still charging for tunneled bandwidth (like $10/GB or something outrageous), so this ended up cheaper.
Intelligence involves many layers.

Planaria can move towards and away from things and even learn.

Bees work collectively to harvest nectar from flowers and build hives.

Mammals have a "theory of mind" and are very good at reasoning about what other beings think about what other beings think. For that matter birds are pretty smart in terms of ability to navigate 1000 miles and find the same nest.

People make tools, use language, play chess, bullshit each other and make cults around rationalism and GPT-3.
If you use any device that correctly uses HDMI CEC, then yes. I only have an Apple TV remote with some cheap Element Amazon TV, and I keep the TV remote taped to the back of the TV. Apple TV and Chromescasts will turn it on, off, and swap source to itself when used. I'd imagine Roku/Firesticks do as well.
A user has no way to know that's the tradeoff. They don't know what tech any given app was built with and they don't understand what the tradeoffs are for different tech.
looking at that mesh over carbon skin it is really hard to imagine how any paint can adhere long term there given the flight conditions, temp changes ,vibration, etc. Went out of curiosity to check out how Boeing solves the issue on 787 and voila, Boeing didn't disappoint :

https://www.businessinsider.com/boeing-removed-lightning-str...

"Boeing removed a feature that protects its 787 planes during lightning strikes as a cost-cutting measure, even after FAA experts objected"

Mind you, that is 2019, after the 737 MAX crashes, it is like the 787 department just didn't get the memo. Or may be there weren't any memo inside Boeing.
For text-to-speech services such as Google or Amazon it costs more (end user perspective) to process audiobooks from eBooks. Compared to buy the audiobook through a subscription service.

Thank you for an accurate ELI5 description of the human visual system. Dunno what this “ML” is, I assume it’s some part of the brain?

It’s too bad you can’t analyze brains like you can with neural networks. It’s trivial to visualize filters and feature maps or to create heatmaps showing which pixels (shadow shapes?) in a specific image affect the classification output and why (contrasting color?).
Came here to suggest projectors. I personally prefer my 1080p projector on a 100" fixed screen over a 50" 4k. When looking at projectors pay attention to the warranty period, and think about throw distance/placement.
