I’m so glad SomaFM is still around. It’s one of the last holdouts from when the internet was just a giant pool of possibilities. So much at that time was people just doing fun things because they could and while that’s still out there, most of what I see these days seems to be people optimizing the fun out of everything. DroneZone for me tonight.
> There's an open standard, icalendar (https://icalendar.org/) which represents calendar entries. Invitations you get in the mail come this format too. The easiest way for your map, address book, reminders etc to integrate is just to talk to your calendar server. The apps need not know about each other at all.

> Google and microsoft of course may do some non-standard futzing around within their proprietary stacks: you can often see these problems when you try to connect to something outside their silos, though in my experience the standards integration in google calendaring is pretty good (especially when compared to their mail system).

Yes, crossing the two is often still a hot mess.

The first paragraph sounds great in theory. The second paragraph sounds more like what happens in practice...
I've been looking for something just like this! I find that people get really weird about solar stuff, so I'll explain why I've been looking for something like this.

1. I believe that man-made climate change is real and we should do something about it.

2. I want to limit/eliminate my own family's personal contribution to the warming of the planet for ethical and emotional reasons

3. I believe that solar is a "green" way to generate electricity, and at the limit if every house and building was covered in solar panels that would be a great world to live in

4. I want to help make that world a reality, and I'm not looking to maximize my ROI on the investment, it's not just about the money

5. I'd prefer much more solar energy production even if it's not the most efficient

6. I currently only have access to install solar panels on my own roof (which I'm already doing)

7. I think non-green energy production will only get more expensive, so solar energy is a decent diversified asset in a broader investment portfolio.

I've actually gone pretty deep in thinking about how I could do this, i.e. get a bunch of investors together and install solar panels on business roofs like schools, warehouses, etc.

I'm gonna request early access to this.
I like this one, it gets into the specifics of the hardware, specifically the 7 slides in the middle of the article:

There is certainly nothing in the IPCC reports suggesting a disaster anywhere close to level.

It will be a serious problem that will take big efforts to solve, but on a civilizational level, it will be much more of an inconvenience than a disaster.

>"Everything seems to say..."

What I just wrote above doesn't go viral or generate millions of clicks. For that you need predictions of epic disaster. So epic disaster stories are what go viral, show up everywhere, makes it easy to conclude that "everything seems to say" that.
Why would you buy one panel over 10 1/10th shares spread over multiple installations. The later seems much less risky

"How many times can we be running out of time before it's reasonable to be doubtful of the message? I think there have been at least 4 "end of the world" scenarios in my rather short lifetime and there's always a new proposed date after each one is proven false."

It can be compared to, "How many times can we change the solar system model before it's reasonable to be doubtful of the message? I think there have been at least 4 changes in what we believe to be the center of our universe in my rather short lifetime and there's always a new proposed center after each one is proven false."

It is a science. It is scientifically proven that the damage we have done to our climate is going to eventually cause very bad consequences. The only question is when, which is very difficult to pin down with constantly changing conditions. It's like trying to identify when the next tornado will hit. You don't know precisely when, you might have some false positives, but you know it will happen. You don't get to say, "Well this is the fifth time the meteorologist has told me to evacuate, I have reason to believe this is politically motivated".
That's not really uncanny valley... so much as plainly amateur work.

I think its much more likely the greater volume of criticism is due to the fact that as OP gets closer to a known aesthetic, the precision of the criticisms can grow because it becomes more obvious what the goal is, and how its been missed.

Whereas a totally unstyled HTML page can't really be criticized usefully, because there is no real goal presented, and so nothing to really contrast against. At best you can say "fix everything".
The company I used to work for went public in a SPAC. Initially, the shares were worth about $35 or so. I sold immediately after my lockout period at about $26. The shares are worth below $9 now. I read in the documents for the SPAC "merger" the executives got a big bonus when the deal closed. I hope for my former associates' sake that the company doesn't go under.
I feel like the title is a bit inaccurate. Once the acquisition has been completed, the company is no longer a SPAC. The title implies existing SPACs (companies that have not yet completed an acquisition) are somehow going bust.
Oh. Well at that point they're no longer a SPAC, right? This same scenario of almost being broke can apply to startups and recently IPO'd companies too. Really any small company in practice.
Apple stopped allowing apps from selling digital goods in app back in 2011. Kindle is still more popular than iBooks.

It doesn’t hurt that Amazon is either number one or number two as far as having the number of credit cards on file. Apple is the other one. People don’t want to enter their payment methods when they purchase. Amazon users don’t have to worry about that,

That being said, you also can’t sell digital goods on Amazon without Amazon getting a cut.

But if you don’t think that platform owners shouldn’t allow competitors, do you also think that the console makers shouldn’t be able to produce games?
Elon Musk’s Neuralink is “bad science fiction” says brain science pioneer (2021)
Great comment. I've been playing UFO enemy unknown (the remake) recently and noticing how it fails at this. The original felt like a real simulation of aliens attacking the earth and were always on the brink of taking over. This one feels like a carefully paced story where unless I try really really hard everything is going to be just fine. Which takes away all the drama and hence a lot of the interest.

Retiring because you’re rich enough to not work is a great thing. But don’t fool yourself - that’s not why millions of people permanently left the workforce.

Thankfully you’re right and it has seemed to recover a lot of ground since ~2016.
iPad is a great creative device for music production (Gadget and dozens of amazing multitouch-enabled music apps) and digital art (Procreate + Apple Pencil.)

It's also great for sheet music (forScore), books/papers/PDFs (Books, Kindle), and magazines (Apple News+).

It's also a pretty great portable video game device (both native and streamed, and it works out of the box with PS5 and Xbox controllers), great for digital board and card games, and obviously great for streaming music and video and for web browsing when a keyboard just gets in the way.

I also use it as a capture device for random notes and ideas.
We’re perfectly inline with exxons predictions of warming made in the 80s [0]. From the science, the predictions are unwavering, clear and project difficult times for the latter 21st century. It’s a constant that the news will report doom whenever it can, but the fundamental science never changes.

The dirty little well known secret is that store brands are created in the same factories as the name brand and are often the same companies.
I personally know multiple public school teachers who left for private schools with a pay cut because of how much they disliked their public school jobs.
Oh wow, I hadn't thought about it that way, that the end of free sodas isn't necessarily a bad thing, so long as done at a natural inflection point where it's transitioning out of startup mode and into a steady business model.

My informal model of startups is that they're business that are bad at any one specific thing they do (or at least, not-necessarily-good), but are good at quickly iterating between different business models. Edge cases (all IMHO):

Uber is still a startup because they have huge unresolved inefficiencies in their core ride-service model and are looking for ways to best make use of the network they've established.

Amazon is not a startup because they have a steady business model that enables long-term production at scale. They certainly enter new markets and offer new services all the time, but do it much slower than a startup would (and often do it just by buying a startup). Same logic for Apple (not that anyone was saying otherwise).

Quibi was not a startup because, from the beginning, they locked into a specific model and were slow to iterate.
That's true of any brand tbf. My 2.2 kW Honda is rated at 1.8 kW continuous, which conveniently is 15 A @ 120 VAC.
Steve Blank (the author of the article) put this very succinctly.

"A startup is an organization in search of a scaleable business model." When the company moves from exploration to execution, it is no longer a startup.
News flash: big company only does things in its interest.

When Apple was trying to escape from its near death experience (imac era) they were super enthusiastic about open standards (JPEG, MP3, iCal, et al.). When I say "super enthusiastic" I mean to the point of Jobs touting that on stage.

Of course they also paid adobe and Microsoft for access to some of their very popular formats. They paid for USB and made one of the first, and as is usual for them, most strict and compliant, implementations. They were probably the first consumer 802.11 companies. As much as possible they wanted to talk to as many things as possible.

As they clawed their way back those standards were still OK (and still are -- Apple is actually pretty good at supporting open standards, better than most in my experience) but they didn't care as much about going off in their own direction again, and making those their defaults.
My favorite story of "unintended consequences" of belt-tightening like this was when I worked at a startup about a dozen years ago. We did well for a few years, but it was clear to people we were reaching a point of market saturation. Nevertheless, the CEO kept agreeing to doubling of sales revenue year after year. Well, no surprise, the last year before big layoffs, we were way off on sales goals.

The CEO announces we have to "put our heads down." Pretty much the main change enacted was no more ping pong. The problem is that were really only two guys constantly in the ping pong room. Those two guys just happened to be the two most senior sales guys, and the only two that were meeting quota.

They both left about a month after this and not-so-slyly told the CEO he was an idiot.
SomaFM is my favorite station. I've tried many other internet stations, and they all fail for the same reasons:

1. they repeat after 1 or 2 days

2. and worst of all, they repeat the same 3 commercials constantly, until I want to scream
That's exactly what I did; lighting got less power hungry as we moved away from incandescent so there was no reason to continue to use fatter copper there. But it would have been legal to use 14 gauge/15A for every circuit in my house in New Mexico; I chose to use 12 gauge/20A for outlets instead.
Is there a way to manually enter my location? As a general rule, I don't allow websites to know my location.
They tried to deliver that idea since the early 90's.
I'm not sure what a typical lifestyle is but I know it probably varies greatly from place to place. You certainly have some definition of it in mind. It is a fairly typical lifestyle among the people I know. The point really was that there are a lot of lifestyles that people with trucks are living that you are unaware of.

Beyond that if you look at the states where the highest percentage of vehicles are pickup trucks you will notice a trend. Most of them are largely rural, have harsh weather and agriculture is a significant industry.
What? Almost every statement here is wrong. There are tonnes of unfederated Matrix servers out there, and E2EE and SSO is completely orthogonal to federation. History retention does apply to encrypted events. And Synapse only tends to use lots of resources when federated into large public rooms (these days). I’m terrified at what must have gone wrong such that you ended up drawing these conclusions :s
Yes, but the goal with SPACs was to allow these kind of companies to go public without following the due diligence process of a regular IPO.
WebKit is LGPL only because it began life as an (internal!) fork of the KDE Konqueror codebase. And the lack of community stewardship from Apple led to it being forked again into Blink/Chromium, which has largely taken over the mantle[1] of "standard open source HTML engine".

WebKit itself is hugely successful because of its use in proprietary projects basically. It's "open source" only by accident, and it seems pretty clear Apple would prefer it not be.

[1] Not that Chromium is a particularly great example of an open source project, but lots of people outside Google build it, ship it, and contribute.
On reflection, it bites you on this particular problem too, because when you take the limit of P(Switch=1) the recursive switch case with a discount factor under the formalism mentioned above is zero.

So for every strategy selection except the one the article chooses, the EV is what I mentioned before. But for the last it is zero.

Its the same problem: they aren't walking the graph of the game tree. But its a bit different to my simplified version of the game that shows where there EV calculations went super wrong, because the actual game tree is of infinite length and there is /never/ a node with SWITCH that terminates in a reward, because every SWITCH recurses to another decision point.

You can solve it using various formalism by adding a discount factor. That lets the limit go to zero for the recursive cases. I guess technically its undefined since the game never ends, but I don't consider being stuck in a loop to be rational [1]. You really have to let your action probabilities vary as you solve imperfect information problems. It happens in MDP and MCCFR for a reason - you don't get the correct action without for the way your policy choice affects the outcome distribution. Your expectation is dependent on your policy it doesn't exist in a void.

That last statement, well, it should be very obvious in more complex situations. That it isn't obvious in this situation speaks to the problems deceptive simplicity.

sweet. looks good. what gui toolkit is this using?
It never actually bothered me that we had a CFO in any of the organisations I worked at. I like having a clear situation regarding who's financing what - especially when it comes to business trips.

A HR manager where there was none previously is a whole other story though.
Healthcare.gov also took this advice!

As far as I can tell it’s just time consuming not hard.
For some reason this comment from someone else was deleted:

"My first reaction to this was, "It probably has to do with tokenization. If there's a 'language' buried in here, its native alphabet is GPT-3 tokens, and the text we see is a concatenation of how it thinks those tokens map to Unicode text."
Most randomly concatenated pairs of tokens simply do not occur in any training text, because their translation to Unicode doesn't correspond to any real word. There are also combinations that do correspond to real words ("pres" + "ident" + "ial") but still never occur in training because some other tokenization is preferred to represent the same string ("president" + "ial").

Maybe DALL-E 2 is assigning some sort of isolated (as in, no bound morphemes) meaning to tokens — e.g., combinations of letters that are statistically likely to mean "bird" in some language when more letters are revealed. When a group of such tokens are combined, you get a word that's more "birdlike" than the word "bird" could ever be, because it's composed exclusively of tokens that mean "bird": tokens that, unlike "bird" itself, never describe non-birds (e.g., a Pontiac Firebird). The exact tokens it uses to achieve this aren't directly accessible to us, because all we get is poorly rendered roman text."

I wonder if this is why the term for "bird" seemed to be in faux binomial nomenclature, the scientific names for animals. I assume that in the training set there were images of birds/insects with their scientific name. An image labeled with the scientific name would always be an image of an animal, unlike images with the word bird in them which could be of a birdhouse, Pontiac Firebird, or someone playing golf. That would mean that in the latent space when DALLE wants to represent a bird as accurately as possible, it will use the scientific name, or a gibberish/tokenized version of the scientific name-- like someone trying to make up a name that sounds regal might say "Sir Reginard Swellington III". Even though it's not a real name it encodes into the latent space of royal-sounding names.

I wonder if this could be extended to other things with very specific naming conventions. For example aircraft names: "Gruoeing B-26 Froovet" might encode into military aircraft latent space.
Too difficult for me lmao.

I suspect the workaround on the side of the companies doing this is to include human review (or appeals) to ensure the decision is no longer based "solely on automated processing".

Even if not intended, a reviewer that sees mostly true positives is very likely to become a blind rubber stamp.

There isn't the investment/ROI angle – instead it focuses on putting up new solar by providing $1000-$5000 incentives to families considering rooftop solar. It focuses on lower income families and places that get most of their electricity from coal for maximum impact + additionality.
IMO: we had good enough nuclear weapons 50 years ago to glass the whole planet, so why continue to try and improve a weapon of armageddon? Just maintain and build the same old nuclear weapons that are effective enough and try and remove the need for the weapons over time with the diplomatic and political process.
I actually love plain text in general, and if this meets your needs, there’s no need to overcomplicate things.

The tradeoff is the greater feature set of ics comes with a necessarily more complicated format. We can see complexity creeping back in to this format as you scroll towards the bottom and tags are introduced, and there’s still a lot missing. With the way it is now, basic things we take for granted like recurring meetings are not handled. You’d need a separate program to insert/delete lines and do the date math if the format isn’t going to change, or more likely a special event type. If you add a recurring event, then you’d likely end up revisiting the one line per day idea.

Nothing saves time like not having to leave the office for snacks and drinks.

Maybe you're organized enough to have the stuff you want stocked for yourself and ready.

Many people aren't.

And as the article points out - this stuff doesn't cost much.

You're not going to get a significant raise if they don't have a pingpong table and Le Croix.

It's also a little bit of an accounting trick IIUC. Those things are expenses for the company and tax deductible. If you buy them yourself - you're probably paying >40% income tax on it.
It would be pretty tough to get exposure to solar panel equity by any means - aside from providing a great experience, we actually will be pretty much the next closest thing to owning solar panels if you don't have a suburban home.

We are different from investing in a utility for two reasons. First, you'll own simple direct ownership in a panel, not in an entire organization and all its bureaucracies and stakeholders. I want it to be as close to a consumer product as possible, to feel personal, not like an investment. Second, you panel will slowly depreciate over time and eventually be liquidated where a utility is hypothetically perpetual.

Aside from that, utilities typically pay $.04 or so for power generated. We'll likely have a behind-the-meter arrangement with a commercial power purchaser (like a factory or hospital), which can boost the return but be somewhat more risky.
You’re better off focusing on banks, oil and gas, etc. Anything that uses a lot of technology to get its job done and operates at a massive scale. FAANG are a very small part of the ecosystem and tend to build vs buy.

A major bank employs between 50,000-10,000 software engineers and in the 250,000-50,000 employee range. Netflix has only 11,000 employees of all types.
Technically yes, but oftentimes companies that were taken public via a de-SPAC merger are still referred to as SPACs in the media.
