Rather than putting significant numbers of artists out of work, I anticipate AI tools will act as a powerful productivity amplifier for everybody, but especially artists. As the cost of capturing, creating, and altering 3D content declines exponentially, I predict an explosion in the amount of such content being generated.

Individuals and small teams will be able to take on projects that historically have required much larger teams of people working over several years.

Where is the "always" coming from? Check actual clinical trials registries and you will see that most clinical trials are not funded by the government.
Adhesive to PERMANENTLY lock a steel screw into an aluminium hole? (2021)
I've been doing this for a few years now and definitely agree! I use .home.git as my .git-aside name and also named the access alias 'homegit'.

I didn't know about `git config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no` so I just put '/*' into .home.git/info/exclude, and then of course tracked that in itself by adding '!/.home.git/info/exclude' in there too.

It's been amazingly useful when acquiring a new laptop, or wanting to quickly set up a comfortable environment on remote machines.

I've got tons of opinions and views that I would never share in work setting. It's not that I'm extreme or something, but it does require certain maturity not to get upset when people tell you that they completely disagree with your precious opinion. From my experience most people don't reach this far on the maturity scale, so it's usually not worth it at all.
And artist are still needed to create new styles.
You can when you have many samples divided into treatment and control groups that are otherwise identical, that overcomes any biases or confounding variables that might be influencing the design and ensures that what you are seeing is causal.

How much are physicist or chemists really controlling in the lab setting? There could be plenty of confounding variables in their experiments too. Maybe "RT" in this lab for that publication for that experiment is actually 75*F and its 71*F in your lab, or you are at different elevations. Maybe no one calibrated the instruments for years. Maybe the reagent wasn't fresh and absorbed too much moisture or oxygen from the room. Maybe an undergrad dropped the balance on the floor and was afraid to tell anyone.

To overcome those potential confounding variables and other biases, chemists and physicists often turn to the exact same statistical tests being employed by people in the social sciences. Technical replicates are the norm in hard scientific experimental design because of how many biases could be present in the laboratory. It's a chaotic environment. Good experimental design builds robustness no matter what your topic is.

I'm not sure if the "actually portable executable" stuff is really practical for anything in its current state, but I find it neat the way the development of the project encourages people to try to find unifying abstractions between software environments and practice writing build tools for new software environments.

The most egregious pharma scam must be homeopathy. At least Vitamin B6 has some effect. Kickbacks from pharma is a very common practice in the developing country I live in, what's much worse is when doctors recommend completely bogus snake oil like Oscillococcinum. Doctors here often explain such behavior that their wage is not enough to feed family etc. so they have sponsorship from companies, but currently their wage is among the highest in the country, now it's just greed. Another thing is that we have an official, government-backed list of "vital drugs" which includes homeopathic treatments and some of the board members of the company which produces them are government officials who made the list, or their relatives. It's preying on the weak.

I too couldn’t find the magix six but furthermore, the portability dimension I’m most excited about is the transposed one: microprocessor architectures. I daily compile the swap between x64/arm64/rv64 without a hitch and know that there are other options too, but it always Unix (90% Linux).

> Further, the system that replies with a Destination host unreachable is the system which doesn’t have a path to the requested network - so you immediately know where to start looking.

No, that's "Destination net unreachable". Destination host unreachable means it didn't get an ARP response so it doesn't know the MAC address of the system with that IP.

I would guess that the “compensate for bounces off buildings” part is the Achilles heel of this technology.

When I worked in telecom we had similar problems with reflections in phone lines, which is a highly controlled environment compared to anything that could potentially reflect sound in a city. And even then we weren’t trying to locate something in 3-dimensional space with reflections, just decode information in spite of them. The more I think about it the more this technology sounds like vaporware except in really ideal conditions, like an open field in the middle of farmland or something.
Sorry to derail, but I really am irked by this cattle VS. pets analogy.

I know that a lot of meat is industrially produced with little regard for the animal well-being (livestock). And I know quite a lot farmers growing their herds organically and naming every single one. Quite a few farmers told me they would never eat meat if they didn't know the name of the animal it came from. They know the character of every single animal in their herds.

So to me this analogy only works as long as we disregard the fact that these animals have unique characters. And that imho counters the analogy.

I prefer bots VS. pets to differentiate the two sides.
Good catch! I updated the post to mention the six operating systems (Linux, Windows, MacOS, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD).

You can absolutely choose to share your data with an US company, but you can also withdraw consent five seconds later, making it illegal for them to further process the data.

The best numbers I can find for the Quest 2 are five million sold last year with 4 million recalled. The current XBox is estimated to have sold around 13 million units. Even if the Quest's sales have kept pace this year so has the XBox. So your claim sounds suspect.

You'll also note 5 million is a twentieth of Apple's iPhone sales. So even if Facebook solves all of their other problems they have to ramp up production 2000% to "replace" Apple.

That is a heavy fucking lift from where they are right now. When the iPhone was released it did what dumb phones did and then some. It's killer apps were the media playback and the Internet. Facebook has yet to demonstrate a killer app for their VR.
Traditionally rendering has been concerned with the RGB colors, because that's what the screen has to output. So your materials are defined in terms of what color objects are. Then they started adding "effects" on top like reflectiveness, bump and normal maps, noise, etc. to make objects look more... real.

Physically based rendering approaches from the opposite end. It asks, what are the characteristics of the material, in terms of simulated light interacting with a nontrivial surface, so that the thing appears on screen as it should if it were a real object with real light bouncing off its nanostructure surface.

Ray tracing is one method of rendering, but you can physically based render the old way too with fragment shaders. You just won't get global illumination so it won't look as "real".
I think the number of people that are deep down into some specific knowledge is always fairly low. Our world currently works in a way that big majority can benefit from the work of a few. There are only a few thousand people in the world who design and create new medication, nuclear plants,or some high end microprocessors.

How do you think government research money is currently directed? Sure you get people from industry but you also get people from academia and government as well filling these positions. That's basically anyone with domain knowledge. Sure people can be corrupt and evil or whatever, but that's why you have other checks in your system to deal with it. If you think it can't be done just because 'government', that's not a strong argument because literally any sort of person in any position in any org, public or private, could be corrupted, and the race to the bottom of this logic is to trust nothing and no one.

Druid is horizontally scalable by itself if you have access to something like S3 or any compatible Object Storage. Druid's core design is remarkable, designed from the ground up to optimally leverage and work harmoniously with cloud tech. Once it is setup appropriately for your use-case, it's trivial to stamp out over and over with Terraform.
Yeah, you’d definitely have to be willing to close the US subsidiary in that situation.

This is similar to the FATCA situation, where it’s extremely difficult for US citizens to get bank accounts in Europe.

(Edit: if you’re not aware: FATCA is a US law that forces non-US banks to provide info about US citizens banking with them on request to US authorities. The threat is the removal of US banking licenses for any subsidiaries of the bank’s owners. Rather than providing info to the US, most banks are taking the safer route of asking if a person is a US citizen up front, and refusing to open an account if they say yes.)

10 years ago when almost all computers except smartphones were x86 this would have been a gamechanger. Nowadays, we need to account for ARM no matter what. Either the developer machine or the deployment target could be ARM. Therefore the build system needs to be aware of cross compiling.

This caught my eye as a Persian. I have never known this book to be a kind of suicide handbook! On the contrary there are many famous poems in this book about happiness, living in the moment and not worrying about past or future.

Maybe there are different interpretations of the poems in circulation elsewhere or something happens to them in translation.

At that point you might as well write off the entire field of biology since no two animals could be identical. Even clones could be subject to random point mutations.
Great article, but I think the conclusion is a bit off.
We also need more research into autonomous driving, to be able to drive trucks safely on highways. And automating that part you see as highly profitable.
So, if anything, the article shows how important more research into this topic is, especially if we would factor in the two disproved assumptions, you mention in the last section.

Second, I think it is a bit naive to think that truck manufacturers/tech companies will just sell trucks for a similar fix price to traditional trucking companies.
I think they will either

- lease them at an expensive rate (getting most of the additional margin, since they also deliver the value)

- offer them as a service, such that trucking companies only manage contracts (also expensive)

- found their own new companies or buy trucking companies to handle the contracts

I work for a Mining company that has autonomous dumptrucks (among other things), and the autonomy has proven its ROI quite nicely. So much so that we are expanding its use and automating more things like light vehicles and drill rigs etc.

Its not cut and dry / black and white, there has been some loss in efficiency in some areas but that is a learning process and we're constantly reviewing and updating.

For us its about economy of scale, and given we control our mine sites 100% its a bit simpler than fwy's and hwy's etc.. we dont get inattentive drivers and drunk drivers and teenagers in blinged up ricerboxes.

The value its added has shown me that autonomy on the public roads is definitely going to be a thing and probably very soon.
I would expect insurance companies to be the biggest drivers... offering discounts to vehicles that are not driven by humans. follow by municipal councils, who will notice that the more autonomous vehicles there are, the fewer accidents there will be and the better traffic flow is thereby reducing the need for road expansions and traffic management upgrades.

> That means effectively no online advertising.

Wat.

You can't sell out your users to google ads, that doesn't mean you can't advertise on google.
But the math does check out:

- truck new: $150,000

- cost of electronics: $50,000

- maintenance: $10,000/yr (over non-automated)

- efficiency factor: 2x

- wages saved: $75,000/yr

So putting it together:

$200,000 setup but $65,000/yr saved, before counting efficiency. Adding in that drivers can only drive 11/24 hours (legally), you get $130,000/yr saved and drop your initial capital outlay in half.

Automated trucks pay for themselves in just a few years — if not immediately, due to cutting your fleet in half.
