>Lol social media is full of videos? well thats me convinced. Even if that were the case it doesn't even matter, Putin cannot and will not loose this war.

More denial of real evidence. I love how casually people simply discard real video evidence that goes against their propaganda beliefs. What about the Kremlin's official maps? I notice you did not have any opinion when I quoted the Kremlin. Hmm!

Putin can and will lose this war, and it will cost him his position and his country.

> I see no need to respond to your hysterical misrepresentation of my point

Fascinating how when I use the exact same debate tactic as you, suddenly you feel the need to pretend to be above it (despite doing the same thing multiple times in a chain we can all read). I love the "golden rule mirror" because it exposes the hypocrisy of bad actors online so effortlessly.

> Again, no nuance with you at all

And I would charge that you have no evidence. You exist in a world of stories and propaganda and your only skills are "denying video evidence" and "spinning stories the opposite".

Also, the person who says "putin cannot and will not lose" is saying someone else has no nuance? This is rank hypocrisy and a bad joke.

> Putins resolve is far stronger than the wests and whether you like it or not Putin is winning the war.

The genocide of the Ukranian existence will not succeed, no matter how much Na*i Putin and his supporters like you want it to be. The Russian genocide will fail.

Why? The entire domestic predicate of the war is non-existence. 50% of Russians do not follow the war and don't care. Putin plays on ferris wheels while his army crumbles in mass retreat.

The only way Putin can win is through a full scale draft and war-time mobilization of the Russian economy, which he cannot do.

We are watching the end of Putin's Russia in real time. I personally believe that the fallout from this massive blunder will be the breakup of Russian colonization across Asia, and countries like China will be growing.

The idea that a film critic can be "legendary" seems hyperbolic. Film critics will quickly be forgotten because they created nothing. Directors can be "legendary". Writers can be "legendary". Artists can be "legendary". All of these roles risk the reputations of the creators. But film critics never put anything on the line.
The alliance doesn't work for Europe. The original population in Western europe got irrevocably replaced by liberal politics. And now Europe is losing big with the Ukrainian conflict while being the main target in the case of a nuclear war.

IMO most analogies kinda fall short, but kinda makes sense in my head is:

Entity as ID;
Components as Columns, but only kinda;
Systems as Application code or functions

Tables in this database/ECS analogy are just tables here too, or memory rather. The data is often conceptually (and implementation wise) laid out as tables in ECS, too
Thanks for the clarification. The lowest GVWR among the f150s is about 6010 lbs which makes the IRS' apparently minimum weight make more sense.

> Curb weight is an irrelevant number, interesting only to calculate payload (which many ignore, albeit at their peril).

Not just their peril, also any road users or others nearby. If you've ever seen an overloaded pickup, they tend to drift around their lane as all the extra weight in the back reduces the steering authority on the front. Double so if it's pulling a badly loaded trailer that puts a lot of weight on the hitch

Everything needed to go from Q > 1 to actual electric power is nonexistant, not even being worked on, and far beyond the resources of these companies. Nobody knows how to produce the tritium needed to operate, or to extract it at ppb concentration if they did. Nobody knows how to build structural elements that will not fall apart after a few months' neutron blast. It has been decades since either was seriously looked at, with no promising ideas forthcoming.

That hasn't mattered much thus far because Q is so far off, and investors pour money in regardless.
I have been a senior IC. I spent no time training in the mountains by myself. I spent all my time in meetings attempting to do system design but actually just getting bogged down in politics.

There needs to be a third track. IC (training in the mountains), EM, and IC (planning and design). A lot of orgs would call that last position a PM, but I have never worked with a PM competent enough to actually carry out that kind of work without ICs stepping up to do most of the PMing themselves.

In my experience, PMs are the corrupt bureaucrats that serve as antagonists in wuxia stories.
My guess is that something like 90% of translation - e.g product manuals, websites etc are now machine translated. Order a random item from China and take a look at their product manual - it's very likely that it's machine translated and not by a person.

What would I buy? My clothing isn’t from any store in the mall. I don’t wear jewelry. I’m allergic to most food in the food court. (Literally anywhere in Cincinnati has better food anyway.) IKEA, Target, and Microcenter are in easy driving distance. I can get a lot of stuff from Amazon.

I do know everything in the mall. It’s my backup location for walking when going to the park or zoo isn’t a viable. I might stop by the LEGO store sometime, but would be an expensive mistake. Otherwise, there isn’t any store that interests me.
My response isn’t based on the tech itself, it’s based off of society/culture/consumer behavior.

I’m skeptical that glasses will become ubiquitous from a consumer purchasing standpoint.
Not only am I not a court of law, but I specifically said that it's up to a court to make a decision of legal guilt here.

In the mean time, yes: the government is allowed to halt activities that it believes are part of an active criminal scheme. Every country with a functioning legal system proscribes this, and establishes a broad swath of controls to ensure that the government can't indefinitely tie up resources.

Personally, and for many family friends who live where I grew up, near a smallish mall that has been dead for over a decade: tons of people. We'd all love to see the space being used, rather than rotting slowly. There was a lot of community activity when it temporarily reopened for a few events and as an indoor walking space (in between events) several years ago.

edit: bulldozing it and putting something else in that place would also be fine, but that costs a fair bit. and really, even just having a big indoor walking space was quite popular, there were several meetups using it, lots of elderly walkers and readers, etc. it was nowhere near as popular as a Walmart of course, but it transformed into a pseudo-public space for a while and it made me realize that "indoor parks" are kinda not a thing, but maybe they should be. particularly in places with a lot of rain or cold.

that, and a big rotting building in the middle of town is rather unambiguously worse optics for the area than even small use. it inevitably gets covered in graffiti and damage, and even minor use prevents that a lot.
Most (all?) Intercontinental cables will be fibre optic. So it's the speed of light (in glass, not a vacuum)

I guess Kling & co. didn't get the memo :)
> If you want to build another Chromium you need billions, since that's how Chromium was built.

Chromium isn't successful because of the billions thrown at it. It's successful because it was significantly better than anything else during its rise:

It was significantly faster than IE and FF.
Much better memory management and crash handling via separate processes.
Strict adherence to web standards.
Seamless auto-updates that required no user intervention - ever. No admin privileges needed for updates.
Clean UI that stays out of your way.
Top-tier developer tools built-in.
Very secure. Has there ever been a widespread instance where users were infected with malware from a Chrome exploit? I haven't heard of one yet.

Any competitor to Chromium needs to be significantly better than it for genuine reasons. Unfortunately, "not Google" and "privacy" aren't going to cut it for most average users to switch over. Unlike Meta, Google's reputation isn't in the trash so people still trust them.

You are barking up the wrong tree. You still don't get it: There is no improvement you can make. Women date fat men. Women date nerdy men. Women date slobs. Women will pay for the date if you are broke.

> I agree with this, but that's not how I understood the original question, which was having an AI model generate a movie script. If you have humans in-the-loop at every step that need to fine-tune and iterate on each part, that's different and I agree it's not nearly as far far away.

I think you’re right in that the OP probably just wants a “one a click” prompt -> script/movie which is decades or more off.

Thinking out loud:

The end product exists to effect human emotions and I’m not convinced you can create a test suite for a computer that measures that. I think the closest you could get would be to strap people up to some sensors and have it measure their responses such as heart rate, breathing rate, sweat rate etc and have the test subjects answer questions about their perception of the film and then have the computer make tweaks and refinements based on that which would be about as close as you can get and pretty much how the industry operates now I believe except the producer stands in for the role of the computer.

Somewhere down the line there’s got to be human input. I kind of think maybe what I’m trying to say is that for video there’s an extra data classification step compared to 2D images. That human review part of each scene of the script and each shot of the film are part of a “meta level” to the workflow. I’m guessing this is what you’re referring to by “long form content requires symbolic reasoning”?

Maybe if enough “meta level” data was gathered about which of these tweaks resulted in successful movies the AI might start developing an “intuition” for what makes a great movie but I think you’d need decades of data for it to work?

My question is why is it always in discussions about Apple that people come out of the woodworks "worried about their privacy stance changing" and how we need regulatory stuff in place in the event Apple STARTS to be like Google, but nobody is ever in the Android stuff talking about how absolutely terrible Google is on this front?
If it’s a 10x force multiplier, then one person could do the work of 10. There are two possible outcomes:

1) the lower rate per piece enabled by higher productivity unlocks a much larger market for commissioned work. No one has to lose their job, people make up the price difference in volume.

2) there is not a much larger market waiting for cheaper art. The existing pool of artists is too big, and some of them need to find new work.

My guess is lowering the price does grow the market some, but not enough to avoid displacing at least some of the artists. Whether that’s 10% or 99% depends on how good these tools ultimately end up being.
For local navigation (e.g. your phone screen, laying a map on a table, etc) it's generally considered best practice to orient the map so that North is North. For abstract purposes North is up is the standard. I can't think of a good reason to do otherwise unless you're trying to illustrate a point specifically about local navigation (e.g. orienting a map so that the headwaters of a navigable river are at the top).
the embedded YT in that article has the non-twitter version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqAVWvOT-1c&t=4885s although it seems to differ only in the continuity of the video and someone softly saying "whoa" after max-Q, and I'm guessing everyone in the room from that point forward was holding their breath (maybe even literally)
does that mean that all possible images are somehow contained in the model?

That would depend largely on what kinds of non-linearities the model is using, particularly towards the later steps. It's entirely possible for there to exist spaces that a given trained model cannot output. It's unlikely those spaces are particularly interesting: perhaps a pixel-by-pixel checkerboard of pure black and white, for example.

A perfectly linear model with linearly-independent matrix columns could generate any possible value, but would be exactly equivalent to a single vector-matrix multiplication, unable to do any interesting multi-step reasoning.
You quite studiously compared every ostensible disruption to the preceding state of the art to (quite convincingly IMO) reveal the material consequeces to be… less than world shattering, shall we say. Your example of Amazon and walmart does the converse.

And yet, with «stable diffusion» it is just so. Disruption is declared wholesale, without even passing mention of the preceding state of the art of computer generated art.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but do you not see the own goal here?

Roots can’t have leaves. Leaves are designed for photosynthesis and reach towards the sun. Roots are designed to use gravity to go down..there is a plant hormone auxin and it is the main control unit. It controls everything about root growth as well as above ground structure.

Another hormone called cytokine kicks in to ‘prune’ the side/lateral root growth above ground. Auxin breaks down with sun exposure limiting root growth.

This ability to react to sunlight is called photo tropism ..we have manipulated and hacked this in hydroponic and aquaphonic systems. But a tree that bear fruit and year after year…that’s quite something else entirely!

In the middle of an entirely different discussion[1] it more or less fell out that the problems associated with HTML emails would not be problems if we started treating unsigned/anonymous emails with some reasonable amount of suspicion. Letting any rando on the internet have access to your HTML interpreter doesn't seem reasonable and things are much better if you only allow that access to people you actually know.

HTML is not the only problem with email that would be lessened if we could finally get people to start signing their emails and start treating anonymous emails with suspicion...

I think the main benefit of a constitutional monarchy is that you split the job of appearance of propriety away from the job of actual governance. Look at the US for example, the selection of a president is both trying to figure out who can do the best job for the country but also who can look the best at it.

Presumably, with a monarchy, the monarchy takes care of looking good, and the PM takes care of governing.

This works specially well for the UK since the monarchy actually generates more revenue than it actually spends (Due to mostly tourism) and you have a setup that works for most everyone.

The negative I see, is that you always have in the back of your mind the possibility that one of these monarchs might, from time to time, want to exceed the powers given to them.

Not saying I agree with the system, nor do I have a fight into this, I'm Brazilian living in the US so I've never been under such system, but this is my impartial, look at this system.

> They don't actually care about user privacy, but rather want exclusive rights to all of your data so that they can sell it for a markup.

This flies in the face of everything Apple has ever done.

I'm more cynical than most, but I also pay attention, and I find it more plausible that a company run by a very private gay man actually holds privacy as a company principle. That fits the facts much better than the conspiracy view.

Apple has already struck out once in the ad industry because they refused to violate user privacy to compete with Google and Facebook. This time around they've acted to bring Google and Facebook down onto a level playing field.

Since Google acquired DoubleClick, it's like we've forgotten that it's possible to sell targeted ads based on target locations, rather than based on personalized demographic profiles of target users. Being able to target locations impersonally is what initially drew ad dollars to the internet, as the targeting could be more specific than general TV spots or roadside billboards.

There's no evidence that Apple intends to use any personal information at all in their ad targeting, and plenty of evidence that they don't. If it is "gatekeeping," it's a gate that they seem unwilling to cross themselves.
