i think its a little incongruous how people are much more open to the idea of pure science research, or math research, than the equivalent in music or art. both cases can yield untold benefits down the line.

>> Solvespace is cool though and that's the one I'm praying for, personally.

Current Solvespace maintainer here. IMHO there is a lot that can readily be added to solvespace. Then there could be a big effort to do hierarchical sketches. And it is reasonably possible to rewrite some of the geometry internals if needed. All of these things are a LOT of work. The problem is the number of people with the background, software skills, and interest in contributing is very very small.

Having said that, we will just keep chugging along. I've been very busy with personal stuff this year, but soon should have free time to address my backlog of stuff I personally want to do.

When Fauci said there’s no need to wear a mask in February, I was buying up N95s. When the CDC waited six months to declare COVID airborne, the rest of the world knew it was. When schools shut down, any discerning parent could tell that the damage to the kids would be severe and all parents who could afford to, like me, sent their kids to private school (I couldn’t get my kids into a local public school so I moved to a different state during the pandemic so that that they could attend school). When they said the kids vaccine should be given three weeks apart I did the reading and learned that it’s much more effective if spaced further apart.

I am not arrogant enough to believe that I am some kind of Isaac Newton level genius. All I did was think for myself.
This is "we thought about it, and decided to keep real mechanical tactile switches" but also "behind the scenes, these may be like the apple mouse: there's a widgit to go "THUMP" when you press it"

Given how many aircraft are fly-by-wire the physical tactile component of a lot of these must be notional, except for the ones which have fuses next to them and are literal cut-outs. You have a switch with a bump, which goes click. The valve 20m away quietly gets turned on by an actuator. The valve completes a circuit to a sensor, which sends a databus signal and the light in your tactile switch comes on.
Well said, harsh, but the truth. Expression is obessive to self because its unique to you. A lot of artists expect their expression to be universally profound and expect society to reward them for their contribution. It doesn't work that way. High art world is basically tokenization of wealth and a medium to transfer (ahem..launder) money from one party to another. It is deeply memetic, a value of piece of art is dictated by how much mimesis it embodies amongst the wealthy clan of art collectors and critics. Artist is sort of a secondary artifact here.

> simply a form of energy storage

A very bad one at converting from/to electricity. Obviously, if you start from something else, e.g. dinosaur, then it's great.

But if you want to use it to store electricity, it's extremely poor due to the conversion involved, any kind of battery (and iron battery is a promising one!) is much better.
I don't know the % total. But I did find that student loan payments were $70 billion per year (in 2019, before the suspension of payments). Which is only 4% of the outstanding debt. And of course new debt keeps getting issued every year.

The biggest problem with AI art is that it's evolving way faster than human Artists' ability to adapt.

We've seen it in manufacturing of goods now we will see it in the manufacturing of art. Those in the lower end of the pay scale need to start looking at ways to adapt to the new reality.

The market will start looking a lot like the actor's market where a few get paid very well, others get paid a little and most, by far, do it for free since they love doing it.

I think it's possible for people to adapt by creating projects that use AI. They can use their creativity on the project rather than the art itself. One of the interesting side affects of AI art is that you can generate ideas with it.

Here someone requested images of cups in the style of an architect. It would be great to have some of these in my house.

Not sure what point you're trying to make here. Are you arguing that companies shouldn't have DEI initiatives because they didn't help sufficiently in this case? Do you interpret this as evidence that DEI is somehow bad?
Honestly, the broader problem that isn't directly car-related is that voice control doesn't generally work as an alternative to punching buttons (whether virtual or physical) and looking at a screen. You can reasonably do some fairly standard tasks using CarPlay such as answering the phone.

But you mostly have to have pre-setup entertainment options, for example. Not that this is really a new thing. People fiddled with radio stations while driving more than they probably should have back in the day.

And, yes, I do need to adjust climate controls now and then while driving although my vehicle does have fairly reasonable physical controls for that so it's not appreciably distracting.

Navigation systems themselves are something of a distraction although I'd guess that overall less so than glancing down at a map or directions on your lap.
This article overgeneralises about art by subsuming all art under the category of visual art and more specifically digital visual art. The question of whether AI is art poison is not well formed because of this assumption as you are just talking about a significant but small section of the real art market.

I agree in relation to both non-digital visual arts (kind of) and digital visual arts (especially). This may also apply to CAD, game design, ui/ux and 3D animation too. So it is a big deal. However, there's no real AI replacement metric if your art is outside of these, very digitally orientated categories. A big shark in formaldehyde, psychedelic peeing reindeer, silver bromide developing on a metal canvas, titanium pellets that roll through a game machine etc (e.g. all recent artworks). They're all art, mostly good (at least to many people in the art market or critics), and AI is in not really relevant in terms of labour replacement.
Very cool project. I was curious if it would simulate frying the board when you short circuit the power pins but didn't see anything happen. This quote from the docs is right but should probably come with a disclaimer that what works in the simulation may destroy your hardware in reality.

It seems to that by artist or author, the blogger is referring to being paid for original self-expression. If you are willing to compromise on self-expression, that seems easy enough to earn a living wage (e.g. in advertising or gaming, or as the blogger's profession of being a technical writer).

It seems obvious to me that hardly anyone primarily cares to pay for the self-expression of any other, except perhaps for their close ones. With media, the market pays primarily for aesthetic value, communicative ability, branding value, socio-political expression, store of money, etc., rather than for the self-expression of the author.

Nobody else really expects to get paid for self-expression itself; on the other hand, most of us commission others to express ourselves, e.g. in fashion or decoration, or at the very least in our own materials and time for something that has no value to others. So it seems privileged to me to expect to be paid in a sustainable manner for primarily doing something that most people have to pay others for.

I don’t think that’s true though. There’s no reason you can’t prompt an AI to make an image that makes people feel things. One of the very first things I tried was “Mt rainier by Monet” and it certainly made me feel quite serene just like any human made nature art
I suspect they wanted the feature changed because it gives them better data when tracking you and other nearby devices and that once the rules for airlines changed they figured they could get away with giving users a false sense of security, which is why the feature is still called "airplane mode" which the public understands to mean everything is disconnected even though that's no longer the case.
Can’t you just add a “driving mode” that changes the view or displays a different view to the phone?

If you externalise the smarts, all you need is external input and output support which all exists. Then any car can have better GPS.

This way, I need a car that specifically has this extra cruft and probably can’t get upgrades easily. It’s the car equivalent to a smart TV.

YES!

It did solve a real problem, it just did so badly - it was heavy, expensive, clunky, and had no suspension so could not handle much surface imperfection.

I think Kamen's big mistake was that he was pathologically afraid of anything smacking of speed, competition, or plain fun. He explicitly worked to avoid any association or possible diversion of use of the Segway in anything like that, because he thought a key audience was city planners who hated skateboards, and thus any fun at all would result in them being banned from city use. Maybe he's right, but if so, the solution space was zero.

Yet, that total avoidance of fun resulted in a number of disasterous results. First, as PG pointed out, the users all looked like dorks - because they were riding a device designed only for dorks.

This also resulted in zero engineering being dedicated to performance, and the, IMO, insane decision to have no suspension. This resulted in the spectacle of President Bush falling off one on his very public ride, simply from riding over a very small hole. Another very public black eye.

and the general absolutely clunky engineering of the thing resulted in no fun, no enthusiasm, and the only real use case being the mall cop market. And a few isolated groups playing Segway Polo is not exactly an activity to generate enthusiasm.

I'm quite convinced that if he'd engineered the thing to be fun, or at least hackable to be fun, it would have taken off. It would have been much more streamlined, cool looking higher performance, and with a suspension to be able to handle at least a bit of terrain (heck even 2" of travel would have made a huge difference). It would not have been that hard to add a "Calm Zone Mode" akin to phone's Airplane Mode for use in the city...

But, that's all history now
Ask HN: Did the term OS take on a new meaning?
Recently, I've noticed a bunch of startups using the term "OS" to describe their product.[0][1]

Does OS still stand for operating system or does it have a different meaning in this context? If it's the former, I'm really confused about the usage in this context because I always assumed it was a strict computer science/engineering term. Are there other examples of computer science-y terms being used in a new context?

According to this source [1] flights departing GVA generated 1.3 million tons of CO2 in 2018. According to this source [2], jet fuel generates 3.16 kg CO2 per kg of fuel. Multiplied by approximate fuel density and we get 2.57 kg CO2 per liter. We can therefore estimate that GVA consumes approximately 500 million (1.3 billion kg CO2/ 2.57 kg CO2 per liter) liters of fuel per year. Jet fuel contains about 35 MJ of energy per liter according to [3] so that's about 17.5 PJ. If the process to convert electricity to jet fuel is 50% efficient, that's 35 PJ. That is equivalent to a 1.1GW reactor running at 100% capacity. At the global average capacity factor of 80%, that's about 1.4GW required. Half a dozen is probably a pretty large overestimate. Alternatively, this would require around 6GW of solar, although 6GW of solar is probably quite a bit cheaper than 1.1 GW of nuclear power.

Maybe, but also maybe not. They don't really "understand" context and they don't know what something like Dutch Realism means, and they can't engage in artistic conversation with other artists. They're inherently derivative, and the output is only digital. A real painting has texture, brush strokes that rise off the canvas, and so on. Sculpture has tool marks, imperfections of casting, and little accidents related to their physicality.

Again, this shit isn't art it's images with mashed together elements built by a system that has no sense of what it's doing. It's cool and all, but at best it's a pale imitation of a thing.
Do onions or garlic otherwise cause you issues? I recently discovered that one or the other tend to "go right through" as you say. I used to assume it was the grease used at certain restaurants or when i cooked at home and could never figure it out, but someone said that it's possible for onions and / or garlic to do it as you get older, especially if you've had your gut biome wrecked by anti-biotics.

I definitely have reduced my intake since i found that out, and it helps. and when i say "right through" i mean within 5 minutes of finishing a meal.

I'd claim things are more nuanced. There are many reasons why UIs in many places, not just cars, suck. In cars, wether warranted or not, there is also pressure from legal to err on the side of building a cludge that is unassailable vs. a smooth user experience that could be grounds for a class action because it doesn't make enough of an effort to discourage dangerous user behavior.
I'd guess a couple of years prior of sometimes blindly messing around with random packages and configuration made the difference (:

One huge advantage of fermentation of peppers is the fact that it becomes preserved for many months if kept in the fridge.

I also started growing peppers, and this was the only way we could keep the many gallons of hot sauce a tiny bed of peppers can produce.

It does change the taste, which for some, might be a downside.
In the US yes because of tax relief and better investment options? Here I pay nearer 4% mortgage (a 3% 5 year fix like your may have been possible with impeccable timing, just got off a 4.39% 5 year fix), in after tax money, get maybe tops 1% in the bank and have to pay tax on that 1% too!

Technically you can pay off some of the mortgage early, split a new loan account, borrow from that new account, and then use that to invest, and claim the interest of that against tax. So basically those with more money pay less tax, of course.
