>Why would you being able to have a diesel truck outside your house affect the cost?

Because the electric truck has an undefined cost, because it doesn't exist, and can't ship any goods.
Which reproducible builds project is striving to do for quite some time.

It’s not just a simple switch you flick and recompile.
I've done a lot of repair in my day. I don't have what you need, but at the same time, my experience has taught me that 90% of "electronic" problems are mechanical in nature, such as switches, connectors, potentiometers, and so forth. Once you get into the guts of the amplifier circuit, it gets hard because that circuit is a feedback loop, so the signal can't be easily traced from one end to the other.

In the evolution of my home audio equipment, the amplifiers are all Class-D IC's that are easier to replace at a board level.

Prophylactically replacing things that might be broken can lead to worse problems, especially since a lot of older consumer electronics had relatively delicate single sided circuit boards that were easily damaged by desoldering.
Could the EV boom run out of juice before it gets started?
The short answer is you want to learn a language that helps you achieve your short-term goals and that ideally positions you to achieve your long term goals. Focus more on the goal, and select a popular tool (so you get support) that has a good chance of solving your business problem.

To give some perspective, in a 22 year career, I started out learning Visual Basic, C++, SQL, Java, and databases because those were “hot at the time”, and it was fairly easy to get jobs building out apps with these kind of technologies.

As the web started to gain momentum, I found that again I chased short term goals of doing web development by working with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

After business school, I started to refocus on longer term opportunities. I learned about predictive models, R, Python, Docker, Hadoop, Spark and TensorFlow and applied all of that to data science and machine learning engineering.

These days, I am building a business that teaches people what I have learned over the years with current technology. So here, I have come full circle and have done a lot of React, Node, and Tailwind work to build a website (https://www.whiteowleducation.com) that teaches people how to data visualizations using Python, C++, and Unreal Engine.

Hope this helps.
Sorry, maybe I was not clear. Assuming you are correct, I am saying the generator should produce 10kW of power, and OP is suggesting that the generator would generator < 10kW. I'm saying the generator should keep up with the energy demand of cruising on the highway.

Kuwait. It is regularly above 45C in the summer. We would wear a hat and long sleeves and play soccer from around noon to 6pm during the hottest part of the day during summer break. Just have to make sure you have water. We also drank copious amounts of minty Laban (yogurt water with mint basically). To be honest I love the heat, all the sweat makes me feel alive.
> If you spend a lifetime mastering some skill, and then it's just not valued anymore, it sucks, and you get pretty mad about it.

That is absolutely not what the OP is complaining about. They're not saying that because AI is good, they won't find work. They are complaining that in training AI for art generation, builders took works from living artists, without consent from them, and that in so doing allowed generators to make new art in the style of said artists.

The example given is that Stable Diffusion even tries to reproduce logos/signatures of living artists.

If I produced a rubbish search engine that bore a malformed "gigggle" logo using Google colors, how long do you thing I would survive before being sued out of existence by an army of Google lawyers?

But that's exactly what many AI generators are doing here.

Edit: the first version of this comment confused Stable Diffusion with OpenAI, and stated that OpenAI was owned by Google. OpenAI has a strong partnership with Microsoft. Stable Diffusion is not OpenAI. Sorry for the errors.
People are still gonna draw with pencils lol. That's not going anywhere. No time like the present to pick one up if you have a reason to need to render images imo.
> Why would you being able to have a diesel truck outside your house affect the cost?

It affects opex like crazy. Tesla service has been problematic since the very beginning. Parts are highly available for diesels. Being able to have a diesel guy outside your house means you don’t have to worry about Teslas customer service disappearing you for a few weeks or months at a time.
The cost increase in electricity is not due to land, it's due to actually needing to buy the electricity from the grid. Sure you can use solar and storage for each charging site, but then you transform the problem into a land one. Otherwise you need to modernize the grid to support vast numbers of charging stations because solar and storage won't be able to charge enough vehicles.
hope it sticks! Sears/craftsman tools were well respected before they dumped production overseas.
In modern times, the Volkswagen XL1 approached the aesthetic. It had an equally low coefficient of drag as the aptera. Not many sold - but it was a production car.

Never said debt is intrinsically harmful.

I do however think consumption debt, for goods such as clothes or the next iphone, is harmful.

They're not investments, like an education or a car.

It's a tax on people who don't have money in the bank to buy such things up front.

Usually such loan "services" are marketed in a way that hides the effective cost of the loan to the customer. Especially problematic for young people less experienced handling money.

> But you can't prevent good things for 95% society because a 5% of the society abuses it

Sounds like you thought I suggested prohibiting debt in general. That's a misunderstanding. It's definitely possible to prohibit predatory lending strategies.

>The Tesla semi, which is an electric truck, can take that same load and move it 200 miles.

What hasn't been discussed here is weight limits. It won't be possible to transport the "same load" if the semi is using a lot of its weight budget carrying a battery vs a diesel truck. The U.S. federal road gross weight limit is 80,000 pounds (20k per axel).

For reference, a Tesla Model Y's battery weighs 4,416 lbs

It seems like they'll be limited to significantly smaller loads and require more trips or drivers to move the same amount of stuff, unless there's another revolution is battery energy density.

I'm sorry about your career - this must have been difficult to write about. Sometimes it's about the journey, take solace that you just might be in a temporary dip in your life adventure. How can some of these setbacks be opportunities?
I wonder what is at the end of this road. Hopefully it's not just that some junior artists get fired and everything else stays the same.

Does the line between novel and graphic novel blur, as more authors "direct" AIs to depict what's in their brains?

Is this how we get to infinite generated worlds in the metaverse?
No, no… We need to move very fast, and break all the things. Tradition and conservatism is not the way. We need to compile everything and anything. Change the paradigm, break the status quo!

Oh, just like Gentoo, Slackware and LFS. ;)

Seriously, maybe we shouldn’t ignore history and learn why things are like this today.
I think you're right, unfortunately. If it's not lost wholesale (as in my parents' case) it's a war of attrition.

They had a number of interesting artifacts (my mother's Australian) and other items that would've been of value for posterity's sake. Especially now that my father has since passed--photographs from his earlier years would have been worth much more to us now.

As a Christian, I'm not hugely fussed over the loss of the material things, but the archivist in my heart is pained to no end!
Saudi Arabia was smart enough to nationalise their oil industry. It was a long and hard struggle- they were completely exploited for decades by Western companies (with respect Saudi leaders were completely out of their depth). Payback is a bitch.
Note: I'm saying this because I would love a proper IOS style component for web/app. Both code examples, but even more breakdowns of how and why are super useful. I've been half recreating it for react native for app build I was creating. The subtleties between creating cool graphics with gradients & translucent as well as not overdoing it have been extremely well done in the latest ios. I see a big trend in websites now following this.
> I argued above that it makes little sense to simply assume that weapons are the only goal, or even necessarily the primary goal.

You can argue all you want. Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is a government-owned, contractor-operated facility managed through a contract between the LLNS Board of Governors and the DOE's National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA). The NNSA in turn works to ensure that the nation's stockpile of nuclear weapons is safe and secure.
The description of LMDB's behavior and subsequent analysis are flat wrong.
https://twitter.com/hyc_symas/status/1558909442737012736

To assume that any newbie has hit upon a potential failure condition that we didn't already anticipate and account for in LMDB is frankly laughable.
"They’ve analyzed the data from the experiment to prove that they achieved it (i.e. ruling out all possible other explanations)."

All possible other explanations that they have thought of.
>but still "good enough" for many mundane usecases - stock photos, concept art, etc - we might still see a wide adoption and displacement of human artists

you're not afraid of DALL-E, you're afraid of an army of fiverr workers stealing your job. Stock photos and low quality art have already been commodified. Very few people go and commission bespoke stock art from the individual working artist, they get a subscription from one of the gazillion content stock photo factories for a few cents.
Changing your nickname on a server doesn’t hide the name used on your account from anyone. This is why I’m not on my work’s discord server.
Hmm. `--list-rules` doesn't seem to work (in the docker version anyway), and I threw it at an absolutely awful Makefile (cyclic dependencies, variable spelling errors making them empty, several other clear problems) both before and after I rewrote the whole thing...

... and it's only complaining about targets over 5 lines long (really? some of the CLI tools I'm running take 20+ lines of flags spread out for readability, I'm not going to shrink that) and one or two missing .PHONY markers (it's correct about those). There's one fewer missing .PHONY after my rewrite.

Given the list in the rules folder, kinda seems like it doesn't check enough to be useful. As much as I would truly love a brutal make checker.
I understand your argument, but (IMHO) it just causes confusion if you try to apply common sense to legal statutes and concepts. (Yes, sure politically one can argue that there's a difference between waiting for someone and running them over intentionally with a car and between abortion, but at the same time others are free to disagree. There's no objective framework for this.)

The fetus is alive. It's a bunch of cells. There's a causal interaction to remove it from the host which makes it a bunch of dead cells.

Legislatig physics is stupid, but what if some state said by law which interpretation of quantum mechanics is the correct one? Stupid, but not much different than building codes. Or say that prions are alive and can run for office... stupid, but there used to be a lot of absurd laws. (If someone works on Saturday they shall be put to death. Sure, what's work? And then there are many many many interpretations of what's work.)
Thanks all for the suggestions.

I did think it sounded like Blood Music... which I started reading once, but never really got into. But I'm convinced --or as convinced as anyone can be about memories from a while back-- that what I'm barely remembering was a short story. So the fact that Blood Music was derived from what was originally a short story sounds promising.

Some other interesting suggestions too. I think I can feel a dive down a literary rabbit hole coming on!

EDIT: Having followed up some of the leads provided here, the basic premise of Blood Music does sound like what I'm trying to remember. But I'm convinced the story I'm after was less 'expansive' [for want of a better word] and just centred around this one guy, gradually warping & merging into the fabric of his home.

It would be interesting to find the original short story and see if it was like this and then got hit by the "We need more sharks and explosions!" stick, when being re-worked into a novel.
I also needed a couple dozen, but couldn't find inventory in stock (even at the 79 euro price point). Sending my own design off to the fab this week.

I'd be curious to see your revisions, if you're open to collaborating. WiFi-enabled SD cards are of interest to some of my users @ PrintNanny.ai
Oke I see what you mean, but isn't that just a reproduction in physical form? They have Warholised painting with 3D printers by creating a systematic method to reproduce art using a new combination of craft. I like it but it's not a totality.

I can bring up a form of art that is not captured by this conceptual scheme. Carsten Holler's SOMA:

The exhibition Soma was installed at the Hamburger Bahnhof in Berlin in 2010. Its main element were 12 reindeer in two pens running the length of the former railway station. Half of the reindeer were fed the fly agaric mushrooms in their food, which are part of their customary diet in the wild, and turn their urine into a hallucinogen. The reindeer urine was collected by handlers and then stored in on-site refrigerators for use. The experiment was extended to canaries, which were housed in two hanging cage pieces, to mice, and to flies. A mushroom-shaped Elevator Bed was installed in the middle of the space, and visitors could spend the night on the premise for a fee.

Do you see what I mean by this digital art vis a vis the collapse of all art being an overreaction? Carsten Holler is a real artist, the art is good, and its not reproducible in the way digi-physical stuff is. It's experiential art and presented in a gallery. Conceptually, its about as far away from DALLE-E as possible but its still art and not "captured". I think art is not over and DALL-E is not poison for artists.
Check if the underlying stream has multiple resolutions of the video stream encoded. For eg: HLS and MPEGDASH both have this feature so that you can watch the streams at an adaptive bitrate on devices with different resolutions/bandwidth characteristics. You can do this with a network tracer (or if you are using a web-based player, using devtools) that logs all the URLs.

For HLS there is a master.m3u8 file that is the index file (accessed over HTTP/HTTPS) that is loaded first. It will have links to the multiresolution streams. You can then find out which resolution stream is actually being loaded and then compare it with the device resolution.

One of the major causes for the video being choppy is due to a suboptimal resolution file being loaded. Another reason is the player that you are using. If it does not have the right adaptive bitrate algorithm implementation, it may be causing the wrong res file to be playing exacerbating the problem.

These are just my guesses.
I guess the context is "as an art seller, I am concerned", not so much "as an artist". Which is understandable, of course, as much as anyone would be concerned if their job is in jeopardy.

But framing it as a matter of art does sound like gatekeeping. It'd be "that cannot be art, because x" when all they mean to say is "please don't stop paying me for this".
Afaik this is what MicroG does, though their aim is different. They mimic Google services responses so that the apps work without G proprietary libraries and services but I don't think privacy is their stated goal (I'd love for someone to correct me if I'm wrong, not using MicroG myself).
tbh this might be one reason to prefer 60fps+, swapping scenes at 120fps would generally just look like two superimposed images, which would likely be fine. Though the whole scene might have to be much brighter to compensate for the shorter shutter, as that's already a problem for 60fps.
I heard londons_explore has a secret repository of PHP/Java(script)/Lisp/C(++)/Ruby/Visual Basic and doesn't want anyone to know?
Thanks for the great explanation!

Would you mind answering a layman's question on where the energy comes from in fusion: my understanding is that the problem here is that energy has to be put in to overcome electromagnetic repulsion between atom nuclei so that the strong force can take over and combine them into a new nuclei, releasing energy at that time.

Is this interpretation correct-ish?
My main issue with the Acela is it’s only partially high-speed. It only hits top speed of 150mph on a short stretch between Boston and NY. And due to turns on this stretch, it only averages ~70mph. The rest of the line is capped at 135mph. Over the whole DC-Boston route, it saves about an hour over regular rail, but it could/should be even faster.

EA seems to be an exception, as confirmed by this article: https://kollega.se/avtal/fa-kollektivavtal-i-dataspelsbransc...

The gaming industry is notorious for not having collective agreements (as per the article, only 1% of the companies has it). So I'm not sure your experience is representative.
I built a gutter estimating app for pricing seamless gutter installations.

I’m a carpenter, but I spent a few weeks helping a friend with his gutter business years ago. He would spent 45-60 minutes building an estimate for each potential client.

The app I wrote allowed him to complete each estimate I’m less than 90 seconds.

However he refused to use it because “I’ve always done it this way.”

He lost the business and now works at Kroger. Some people just don’t like technology.
I suppose they can make a disclaimer that prohibits AI companies form using pictures of their work?
Would Reddit fit your bill?
Staffing agencies are favored by businesses because they help offload much of the hiring/HR/legal and allow the business to focus on it's main concerns. From a contractor standpoint, as long as the pay meets your requirements, why not? You could hypothetically be making more without them, but there are a lot of assumptions in that hypothesis, and if you could get the contract yourself you would already have it.
The matter of what constitutes formal technical standards is clearly and precisely defined, and standards documents usually comprise of very carefully crafted text some of which constitutes the most precisely accurate documentation ever written.

Simply, in standards documents definitional precision and information/data accuracy are everything, there being absolutely no room for ambiguity or error.

For that to occur, a necessary prerequisite is for those involved in the standards process must know and understand the meaning and definition of the word standard in all of its broader contexts so that a new much more accurate and narrowly-honed definition is agreed upon before it can be applied to standards work.

How you can claim standards are 'subjective in essence' is beyond my comprehension, as in fact they are the antithesis of any such notion. Clearly, you've had nothing whatsoever to do with the matter of standards.

In effect, what you are saying is that the hundreds of years' worth of precision science and engineering work that's gone into say ISO standards such as the definitions and concomitant standards which comprise the SI System of Units and Measurements is essentially poppycock nonsense.

So presumably it would be alright with you if say on a whim that Planck's constant and the Speed of Light were to take on different values on weekdays than they would do at weekends.

Sorry, but that's utter nonsense, it's postmodernist thinking at its worst.

I actually agree with you on the matter of COVID and the fragility of society, but from your comments it's pretty certain that I do so for opposite reasons.

That's approximately as much energy as you'd get from burning one fast food hamburger.
And we went from 30 minute TV shows on global/national/local channels to 30 seconds clips on finely tuned personal feeds with granular data from billions of users optimizing for watchtime.

I know it's a fear as old as books, but it's hard to ignore the different paradigm that the Internet brought to the table.
Even if that's the case, corrupt politicians and institutions will use the disgruntled proletariat to gain power.

Also, many corporations are pushing for central government too. Walmart now is a private company. In the future it may be "The Glorious Walmart of the New People's American Union." In other words, large corporations have the potential of becoming a part of the government and retaining their status...plus the untouchability of being an arm of the government. I would say we've been set up for this.

So what may happen is this. Large institutions may use the proletariat to overthrow the middle class and institute oligarchic collectivism, like 1984. It happened in China, and clearly the elites have no qualms about their system--given our utter economic interconnectedness with them.
So let car companies run roughshod over consumers because you don't like cars?

I'm glad you're in a situation where you have another option besides driving a personal vehicle. I'm not. I didn't build this stretched out chunk of suburb with no safe way to get anywhere on foot, so don't punish me for it.
