Weird, I was just having the opposite thought the other day. Emacs seems to be going through an explosion in productivity. There are so many new improvements as of late that it's hard to keep up.

Byte compilation has sped things up, tramp makes working with networked drives a breeze, magit makes git a breeze, LSP (language server mode) is improving interactivity with your code. Org-mode is an amazing markdown language and knowledge base, task manager, etc. The documentation is good for just about everything I come across. Integration with slack, mastodon, gemini, etc. Even the games and browsers are nice.

My friends that use vim seem to be comfortably moving along so I'm sure things are similar there.
A few days ago came across the MIT-licensed GoAccess. It generates both terminal and HTML based reports that should address your needs. You run the tool from the command line, so doesn’t solve the website-to-upload-a-file requirement, but that could be a fun little project (if someone hasn’t already done that).

> Reinforced by the apparent reality that mostly what people outside the USA want to talk about is the USA.

I'm from Europe and sure, one of the main reasons why I come to this US-based site with a majority of US readership is to find American viewpoints on issues, and engage in discussions about the USA.

This doesn't mean that I spend my life wanting to talk about the USA, though. I talk much more about my own country but it's on sites with readership from that country (and in real life, of course) so you're not aware of it.

And many of my compatriots don't talk about the USA at all, you just don't see them because they don't hang out in sites like this at all.

(Maybe this is already what you meant, that when an American interacts with someone from outside, they often want to talk about the USA -which is not the same as saying that people from outside often talk about the USA in general-. But it's not clear from your wording).

Speaking of Zen-themed books, I can recommend The Three Pillars of Zen by Kapleau.
Many people miss the larger point that the scooter troubles have brought to light: this is a preview to what a post-ownership society would look like. It quickly becomes a tragedy of the commons when everyone uses public resources (rentable scooters and the space to park them) with little regard to the larger impact of their collective actions due to the absence of consequences for antisocial behavior.

In the vision of autonomous vehicles is a built-in assumption that people won’t actually need to own one themselves and companies will provide “taxi service” for some fee thus eliminating the need for the end-user to actually own one as they can always call for a ride. How quickly will these vehicles become dirty, unusable, vandalized, or otherwise ruined because a subset of occupants don’t give a shit about stuff that doesn’t belong to them and there is no consequence for wrecking?

Scarcity does make people value their things because they’ve already invested in it and most people would rather not have to continue to fork over money to replace items that suffered a premature end due to user neglect or mistreatment.
There will still be scalpers but now they will be committing fraud. At the end of the day there will still be a large number of real fans who will be pissed will call rejected their ticket.

The fans will need the smarten up and learn the rules. That would take time

They settled out of court, and there's nothing that says the terms can't be ironic. It's just whatever both parties agree to.

Let's assume Songkick sued because their company is essentially doomed due to Ticketmaster's bad behavior. Then Songkick needs an outcome that addresses that. One outcome is that Ticketmaster's behavior could change. Another outcome is Ticketmaster can pay Songkick for whatever the business might have been worth if it had succeeded.

It's analogous to buying a product that has a repair, replace, or refund guarantee. Ticketmaster changing their behavior is like repair: you get to enjoy the thing you were expecting to have. Shutting down the company and selling part of it to Ticketmaster is like refund: you don't get to enjoy the thing, and you get money instead.

This outcome doesn't improve things for consumers. But it's Songkick bringing the suit, and Songkick is a business whose primary goal is to look out for themselves. If some consumer group had brought the suit, their goal would be consumer protection.
The fact that concerts are a luxury is not the problem. The problem is that the relationship between LiveNation and Ticketmaster is anti-competitive and does not provide any economic benefit for anybody besides LiveNation/TicketMaster.

The way capitalism is supposed to work is that competition and supply and demand push the market price of goods to an optimal price thats economically beneficial for buyer and seller. But anti-competitive practices like bundling products and artificially limiting supply interfere with that process.

If LiveNation and TicketMaster were two different entities, there would be a lot more competition for who to use for ticket distribution and prices for tickets would be a lot cheaper, which benefits the purchaser and increases economic competition and productivity.

So apparently this is the context I was missing - ticketmaster wasn't able to handle the load of selling tickets to Taylor Swift's new tour because it was bombarded with "3.5 billion ticket requests from fans, bots and scalpers"[0].

Songkick pivoted too late into trying to establish their own thing, but by that time were deep into affiliate revenue from existing players. They'd painted themselves into a corner they couldn't get out of.

I interviewed there very early and was very impressed by the team, but I also declined as I already had experience in the music industry and I believed you had to build alternative ticketing and meaningful data for artists, promoters and venues to be in a position to move up the chain (venue size)... I also believed you had to start small and go slow and go up that chain at the same speed artists do... that a ticketing company should have their own fans, the artists... that it takes 1-2 decades to beat the Ticketmaster racket.

In the early phase Songkick were looking at a business model which was "we'll sell you merchandise for that gig you went to" and only later was "we'll sell you the tickets"... by the time they'd pivoted they'd had too much investment and needed revenue, and they took the affiliate revenue which then made it hard to pivot.

It was a good team, a good company, and I remain impressed with what they achieved as well as having the guts to sue Ticketmaster whilst taking the affiliate revenue. But in the end, I wish they'd have understood the touring aspect better and sooner.
This wasnt meant to generate valid scientific papers, and Lecun said so too. It generates interesting associations. It rambles sometimes and goes on tangents that are sometimes relevant sometimes not. It can inform you of related ideas that you were not aware of. It's like a fuzzy google scholar. It is in no way valid publishable research, but it's like a bicycle for researchers.

At least that was what i managed to find out for the brief time i toyed with it. This can save time instead of hunting down loads of citation trails.

What I really fail to see is what is wrong with having this buggy tool.

(Also, if you think that published papers contain true information, you should invest in my bridge)
It is not “crusading” to point out things that I view as morally repugnant. Nor is it as odds with being in favor of diversity. Diversity does not mean accepting things that are morally repugnant. Things like female genital mutilation, marrying 9 year olds, and in my case mandatory hijab. You too have your own views on things you view as morally repugnant and those views are not necessarily in contradiction to being for diversity. Obviously on the hierarchy of acceptability one does not reasonably put diversity as a greater cause than opposition to the things we find morally repugnant. That you can’t see this is a failing on your part.
How did Taylor Swift gradually become one of the biggest, if not the biggest pop star, all of a sudden? She has gotten bigger and bigger ever since the Kanye West incident 13 years ago. She’s not a great performer like Beyoncé and she’s not a great singer like Adele. What’s going on here?
Yeah pretty much any big tech company could spin up a team to launch a ticket purchasing website in a year or so that could handle the traffic.

For example, Amazon always loves adding benefits to prime, if they thought they could break into the ticket market they would do it in a heartbeat. Same with Spotify or Apple. If these massive corps cannot break into the market then why would some startup be able to?
Musk realizes that his entire wealth and image is propped up by social media and hype so he buys Twitter. I wouldn't be surprised if he himself was funding bots and influencers to hype him and his companies.

Yeah, f@ck the customers. In the Capitalistic utopia of the USA, you cannot be allowed to embarrass the oligarchy, whether they work in private equity, the Fortune 100, or the military-industrial complex. They really are between a rock and a hard place with Holmes. She's obviously psychopathic enough to raise ungodly amounts of money, whatever the cost, but she embarrassed the wrong kind of people. So we wind up with a moderate sentence that means she will do hard time (to scare people away from outright fraud), but not too much (so she will be able to get back into the game after).

There are already communities of people creating & sharing this imagery.

The problem is not that people would spam porn. The problem is that stalkers and creeps can & will use this technology to violate people's privacy. Celebrities and influencers complain bitterly in interviews about foot wiki, and try to control what pictures of them are posted to stop people from collecting pictures of their feet. How are they meant to feel about someone being able to push a button and produce a fictional sex tape of theirs? If every photo they post has the potential to be turned into porn, what impact do you imagine that having on people?

Furthermore, how are the people making these AIs meant to feel about that? If they want to limit their technology to not produce these images - we're many to understand that as "child abuse"? If I run a porn site and I take down revenge porn when it's reported to me, am I engaging in abuse?

What is the point of these being scooters instead of bikes in the first place? Scooters seem strictly inferior and more dangerous than bicycles. The small wheels are much worse on dodgy road surfaces, and without being able to pinch the vehicle between your legs, the rider has less control over what it does.

Is the whole idea that a scooter is cheaper because it has less structure and smaller wheels? Seems like a bad tradeoff, since it's a vehicle that can get you killed (I've seen this happen. The scooter rider got into an unrecoverable wobble, fell, and hit his head.)
The ticket prices start high and are gradually reduced at a set rate until they reach a pre-defined minimum. The idea being that scaplers can't profit off of purchasing early since the official clearinghouse is lowering the price all the time.

People have to make a judgement call on the value of the tickets and purchase at an appropriate time.
A simple example of a function with a singularity is f(t)=1/t. Note that at t=0, f(t) is undefined due to division by zero. On either side of zero, the absolute value of f(t) approaches infinity.

In this case, we are tracking the flow of an incompressible fluid over time. This flow is represented by a velocity field evolving over time, under the constraint of no net inflow/outflow of material into any region of space. Thus, the singularity corresponds to a portion of fluid speeding up and approaching an infinite speed as you approach some finite time.

Because the fluid cannot be compressed, the only way the singularity can be produced is for a portion of the liquid to swirl, increasingly rapidly, about some point: hence the discussion in the article about vorticity.

As isoprophlex pointed out, this undefined value of the velocity field prevents you from (or at least complicates) computing the further evolution of the fluid.

The incompressible Euler equations model a fluid as a two-valued field. This means that at every point in space, the field has two values, density and velocity (1).

To me (2), a singularity in a field like this means that one or more of the field values "blows up", i.e. goes to infinity as you run the time variable forward.

But how could this ever happen? The Euler equations model the "conservation" (i.e. constant-ness) of three real physical quantities: mass, momentum, and energy. If these three quantities are finite and constant when you add them up over the whole field, how can any part of it "blow up" into an infinite value?

The answer is that the blow-up must occupy a volume that shrinks as the blow-up grows, so the conserved quantities are still constant. The singularity would be infinitely small in space, and have an infinite value of density or velocity (or both).

The hard question is, are these blow-ups merely artifacts of a particular numerical simulation technique, or are they essential somehow to the incompressible Euler equations themselves? That's what these papers are trying to figure out.

To me, an "essential" (i.e. inherent-in-the-equations) blow-up seems intuitively reasonable because of the acausal nature of the field. When you simulate the incompressible Euler equations, it superficially looks like it's a physical fluid doing physical-fluid things, swirling and flowing around. But in a real fluid, a change in one part of the fluid propagates to the other parts at finite velocity, creating real cause and effect.

An Euler fluid's time evolution is not a phenomenon that ripples forward through time in a normal way. Instead, every point in the fluid responds to every other point simultaneously. If you poke a cube of incompressible Euler fluid with your finger, there is no pressure wave that ripples through it, where the fluid parcels push each other along and get out of each other's way. Instead, the whole cube of fluid somehow instantly adopts a new flow pattern that conserves mass/momentum/energy in response to that finger-poke.

1) Note that velocity is a vector, since it has a direction. This means that in 2D the velocity is two numbers, and in 3D it's three numbers. So technically the 3D incompressible Euler equations have four values at every point: one density, and three velocity components, one each in the x, y, and z directions.

2) I'm a numerical simulation guy, not a mathematician. Real math experts have rigorous definitions of a singularity, e.g. in https://arxiv.org/pdf/2203.17221.pdf "Singularity formation in the incompressible Euler equation in finite and infinite time," Theodore D. Drivas and Tarek M. Elgindi.

Not OP but many notable companies have nearly doubled headcount since 2019 (Google, Snap, etc). Surely OP meant that where did this influx of workers come from.
