It’s pretty easy to get to 3 weights, just by having normal, big and small in a page and/or site.

Also when trying to differentiate between the entire range of h1 to h6 type of headlines within the same font.

At least my own tendency is to use at least 3 different weights for most text and heading fonts.

I saw cars with remote start back in the 90's. All manual, in Eastern Europe, where automatic transmission is extremely rare.
> You don't need 1.2TW to provide well under 300GW. And you certainly don't need to store energy in a battery to store it in a battery. Just plug most cars in most of the time and they become 3-day dispatchable load that massively drops the storage required for electrification.

You continue to say thing that reveal you have never bothered to do the math at all. I have done this. I have written reasonably detailed simulations in order to understand just how much power full electrification of ground transport would require. My answer was in a range between 900 GW and 1400 GW. Years later Elon Musk confirmed this. His estimate is pretty much exactly in the middle of the range I predicted.

What he said is that electricity demand will more than double when we shift all transport to electric. The US currently has a capacity of 1.2 TW. A doubling, then, means we need an additional 1.2 TW of power generation and, most importantly, the ability to deliver that power (today, we cannot).

https://www.publicpower.org/system/files/documents/Americas_...

The 1.2 TW number comes from page 2 of the report linked above.

It is also important to understand how we generate power. Page 2:

Natural gas 43.9%
Coal 18.5%
Wind 10.7%
Hydro 8.1%
Solar 5.3%
Geothermal 0.3%

The balance of approximately 13.5% is pretty much all produced by burning different types of fuel.

Anyhow, you go ahead and believe what you believe.

Come back and check your notes against this discussion in ten years and see where your beliefs land you.

Cloudflare’s pricing, new annual plans and an ChatGPT code test
This is a play by 3 actors, they are playing the biblical figures of Jesus, Peter and John. Jesus is played by himself, Peter is played by Arnold Schwarzenegger and John is played by a dog. They struggle to stay in character. The scene stars with the 3 of them walking in a narrow staircase. Jesus let out a thunderous fart.

---

Peter: Jesus, what was that?

Jesus: Sorry, Peter, I have been fasting for 40 days and I am a bit gassy.

John (barking): Woof, woof, woof!

Peter: John, stop barking! This is not the time for that. We are supposed to be walking in humility and grace.

Jesus: It's okay, Peter. John is just expressing himself. Let's continue on our journey.

As they continue walking, Peter stumbles and falls down the stairs.

Peter: Ouch! My leg!

Jesus: Peter, are you okay?

Peter: Yeah, I think I just twisted my ankle.

John (barking): Woof, woof!

Peter: John, stop barking! Can't you see that I am in pain?

Jesus: Peter, John is just trying to help. He is a faithful companion and cares for us deeply.

Peter: I know, Jesus. I just get frustrated sometimes. I am not as strong and brave as you and John.

Jesus: Peter, do not worry. We are all human and have our weaknesses. But with faith and trust in each other, we can overcome any obstacle. Let us continue on our journey together.
I went from a Nissan LEAF to a VW ID4. Now I have to press "OK" to confirm a driving profile instead of a legal agreement every time I turn on the car, and my app has even fewer features than NissanConnect EV had. The grass is always greener on the other side, as they say.

What we're debating is where that investigation is conducted. Conducting it in congress implies some exceptional thing that needs to be reformed, rather than the brazen simplistic criminality that it seemingly was. This speaks to a two class justice system, with SBF in the same category as other "too big to fail" criminals.

How about starting with a criminal investigation? If that turns up some novel twist exonerating SBF and indicating a meta-issue, like say FTX was actually hacked, then congress can take over. As it stands, all signs point to simple fraud where customer deposits were given to Alameda to gamble with.

As far as regulating cryptocurrency more, that impulse is precisely what I mean by "never let a good crisis go to waste". Fuck, continuing this line of thought I almost have the wonder if SBF is more like an Epstein-club actor here, doing the deliberate job of looting cryptocurrency for the political class, while creating a disaster to usher in more regulation.
Chinese children don’t use TikTok “for hours a day.” Another key difference between their app and ours. They are limited to 40 minutes a day and cannot use it at all between 10pm and 6am.

I found that there still some limitations with functorch's vmap, but I can't recall what it was.
If you want TikTok banned in the US because they don't have proper data hygiene and you believe that data could be used by the CCP in the future that is fair.

If you want TikTok banned in the US because you believe that they promote dumb content as part of some strategic Chinese plot and you conveniently ignore Meta and Google, I'm going to assume that your reasoning comes from irrational fear of the Chinese. It doesn't make sense to distrust the Chinese when they are doing the same thing as Americans (unless you don't like them just because they are Chinese).

> The ones that were equipped with paved walking paths, shuttle systems (looking at you, Zion), and top tier camping amenities (Bryce) were absolutely mobbed with people, making them feel like theme parks.

I probably shouldn't spoil it, but ...

For Zion/Bryce/Arches, go off season. I went twice: Once was the week after Thanksgiving (weekdays), and the other was in mid-January. It's deserted and you have most of the park to yourself. In fact, during the January trip, we stayed at a Best Western near Zion, and myself and one other party were the only people in the whole hotel that night. I believe even the staff went home (literally no one at the reception - if you really, really needed someone you'd call and they would come).

Early December is probably better, because of less snow. By January a number of trails are closed because they're not going to clear the ice. But even then, it was worth it.
The other kids are still paid to be educated, using the per-pupil funds that are allotted to those children.

What you are saying is that the per-pupil funds allotted to the child who is no longer in public school must still go to the public school, even if that public school system has alienated the parents to the point that the kids are gone. There is no accountability in that, just a license to dismiss the concerns of people who are upset or dissatisfied.

Also private school is too expensive for many people. It shouldn't be only rich people who get to make that choice.

This was fun, at first I was wondering why none of the examples were working properly until I remembered I was using a 4k screen on a windows machine, which set the scaling to 150% by default. After setting the scaling to 100% the demos suddenly made sense. Also, interesting how changing the gamma setting on my screen also changed the results...

The point you brought from the beginning was that a language model cannot beat a Turing test, and the only actual "argument" you brought was: he failed in X task, and the conclusion was, "he doesn't understand reality", what would happen if he actually answered correctly? Would he have suddenly acquired the ability to understand reality? I don't think so; To me it is clear that this AI already has a deep understanding of reality and the fact that chatGPT failed a task doesn't convince me otherwise and it shouldn't convince you either, these kinds of "arguments" usually fall short very soon as history has shown, you can find a lot of articles and posts on the net carrying arguments like yours (even from 2022) that have been outdated by now, the point is that these neural networks are flexible enough to understand you when you write, understand reality when you ask about geography or anything else, and flexible enough to beat a Turing test even when they are trained "only" on text and do not need to experience reality themselves, and the imitation game (as it was called by Turing) can be beaten by a machine that has been trained to imitate, no matter if the machine is "really" thinking or just "simulating thinking" (the Chinese room), beating the test wouldn't be a step toward artificial general intelligence as a lot of people seems to erroneously believe, the actual step toward artificial general intelligence is alignment, maybe agents etc

I get that Nvidia is the favorite GPU (because CUDA) and that library maintainers want to chase the latest and best to do the most. But I don't get why support for older hardware (including CUDA stuff) is just deprecated or abandoned, nor why support for other GPU architectures is lacking across many popular ML libraries.

A lot of this is down to driver availability and software stacks...but is all of it? Game engines/engineers seem to be able to be productive on a wide variety of GPU hardware, why do so many ML libraries just not provide any support at all? Sure 75% of potential performance is less satisfying than 100%, but it's also infinitely better than 0%. How come every ML library doesn't at least have an OpenCL fallback or the like?
You should check out my other app, Nihongo (https://nihongo-app.com), it has functionality like this, and is one of the reasons I developed it in the first place.

I take DRM free ebooks and copy them into the app one chapter at a time. It automatically creates flashcards for all the words that appeared that I don't already know, and I can filter down to only words that appear at least twice.

Yes. I've been booking back country camping and trail access for a couple of years now and at no time did I suspect the money was going anywhere other than the National Park Service and BLM to support the programs and sites. I never would have imagined significant amounts, in some cases the majority of funds collected at a .gov park service site was going to a for profit defense contractor. In fact the site states in places that fees go to support the parks. No where does it say fees go to support for profit defense contractors.

Datasette’s new JSON write API: The first alpha of Datasette 1.0
Yeah well, you're right, but some new features would be welcome, like, for instance, the ability to immediately send images out of the camera. Yet even with recent DSLRs and mirrorless top-end cameras it's still a hassle.

I recently made a photobooth from an old Canon DSLR and a rPi running gphoto: a script takes the images out of the camera and posts them on a server, and people can see them in almost real time.

It's really great, but it would be even better if it was all done in camera.

This still leaves an opening for scalpers who have no intention of actually going to the park, just charging people to use their reservation.

A different alternative would be to make those spaces an auction, and somebody can pay more to take over your reservation. At least then the park gets the money
I'd be amazed to see a resolution/dpi combo that results in a 1 pixel error from rounding and equally amazed that it isn't far from the same combo that would cause a rounding error outside of a browser.
The details depend heavily on what specific database you’re working with, but in broad strokes, you’ll want to know: indices, query plans, when and where to cache expensive computations, every f—- word of your DB manual’s chapter on concurrency control, and the fastest method(s) for yeeting data in and out from your language/toolkit of choice.

Starlink is seeing heavy use in Ukraine with most stocks in the neighboring countries getting bought up. The reason for that is russian strikes on our infrastructure causing electricity blackouts to the extent of regular internet or 4G being down/highly degraded. As a result, many companies, individuals, offices, etc. are procuring their own sources of energy (diesel/gasoline generators, portable power stations, etc.) and reserve internet connections via Starlink or powerful 4g modems that can reach further cell towers with access to good connection. That with already prevalent use of Starlinks on frontlines (they are very hard to jam and far surpass other satellite offerings).

We do not have access to data but it's not unreasonable to assume that such a spike in use must have eaten into overall network capacity.
It depends on what the various different layers in between you and the gfx hardware are doing.

For instance, see the discussion on this "monitor calibration" shader: https://www.shadertoy.com/view/NsS3Rw

In that case, FireFox does not 100% provide some of the needed APIs in order to get pixel-perfect rendering. There's nothing you can do to fix that yourself.

"...Anyways, long story short, we need Firefox to implement 'devicePixelContentBoxSize' before we can have pixel exact rendering, deterministically, in that browser."

That's just one example.

For something delicate like pixel-perfect rendering, every layer in the chain from hardware to OS -> libraryX -> libraryY -> libraryZ -> browser -> your code, all need to handle coordinates and thigs _perfectly_. If any one of those links in the chain messes things up, or doesn't provide the correct rounding, etc. then you are stuck.

It's not so terribly hard to do, but it has subtleties and edge cases, and everyone involved must handle them correctly. Also, if they handle them not-correctly, the result is still "good enough" for many purposes, so the fix doesn't get prioritized.
Amen. Clear, and the entire process, makes me sick to my stomach every time I go to the airport.

Thanks for that feedback. The drawing system was originally developed for writing kanji, used in my other app Nihongo. Kanji doesn't have the same kind of long strokes that change direction as hiragana, so I could see it not behaving as well for those. I'll see if I can improve it, thanks!

Agreed, I noticed that too. It’s still not fully chronological. But it’s still a way better experience then it used to be.

Maybe they’ll add a chronological option again at some point. The Apple style middle ground of making it easy by default (instead of customizable) seems to hold sway among twitters UX/product team.

Hopefully that will change as well. Anything is better than the old default system. I could see the old way being good for entirely new users but it was awful for long time users who carefully curated their following list.

Needless to say, people are pretty happy with smartphone photography. Which is optically pure shit, but clever software fixes that quite well. And not just that, it's idiot-proof. Those are two monumental achievements.

But only the beginning. We're going to be debating the question of "reality" a lot in the coming years. Surely, the next step in computational photography will be AI to fix your questionable shots.

You photograph the Eiffel tower, but there's a lot of people obfuscating it, the horizon isn't straight and the light ugly. One tap and it's fixed, if it even requires a tap.

You zoom in digitally to produce some blob of what is supposed to be a bird. Tap to fix it. And there you have it, a pro level shot without the 5kg 600mm lens.

Just like AI art generation, photography will be going through some deep questions. Did you actually photograph that? And if anybody can photograph anything with zero skill, what is the point?
