Why even bother with a guaranteed not terrible job? Seems simpler to go with universal basic income than wasting resources on uneconomic jobs.
This is a good project. The way we currently run our living spaces is extremely inefficient. We distribute people to many disparate neighborhoods, and - in the case of the US - gasp suburbs, and then face the problems which having to provide all the infrastructure, supply networks, transportation to those places create. One unmistakable example of this is traffic congestion and how a lot of energy, productivity and even more importantly, the precious time of people are lost while going from place to place, leave aside in congestions. The people are having to do this because it is just how things are, not because it is the best thing that mankind should have been doing.

The systems logic that they have in this project makes sense: A more efficient structure would definitely make running a large urban region much more effective. And Saudi Arabia has a lot of flat, uninterrupted, unused space that is largely outside the earthquake, storm and other disaster zones, so a big linear structure can be easily workable there.

The line structure seems to be well calculated - its long, but its very thin. Meaning that they plan to run everything one single, uninterrupted, well, line of infra. Which totally makes sense from an engineering standpoint. If it was a vanity project or wasteful indulgence as some claim, the systems side of this would not be made as simple as this and it would be something more grand. Moreover, the linear building concept that apparently does not seem to inspire anyone judging from the comments, is another evidence that it was chosen for its systems efficiency, and not awe factor or tourism value.

Again, its an interesting project. Even if they can pull off a fraction of it and succeed in developing a large, uninterrupted urbanization that is efficient, it can make a great breakthrough in terms of urban technology.
In Belarus, you have to pay an extra tax if you're unemployed. A coworker of mine was struggling with that, because she was having trouble proving she was working in the US, they were trying to tax her parents.

Corrupt hellhole, that country.
I don't disagree that it's exploitation, but I think you obscure a very complex problem with "nobody should be in such a weak position".

I'm not sure any economic or legal arrangement could do away with weak positions like that entirely.
I like it.

It would IMO be much better if you also add PDFs from comments, not only submissions.
H2 is necessary, yes. It can be provided by electrolysis of water, air captured if necessary.
I'm sorry, it's a scam to sell X "coming next year" and six years later, not to have it.

That other scams exist doesn't negate that.
Maybe Greek should have paid taxes after all: https://www.businessinsider.com/corruption-in-greese-hamperi...

But the funny thing is: Greek themselves find their country too corrupt and bloated that they aren’t willing to pay for it with THEIR OWN money…

Much of Greeks debt problem would not have existed had the Greek citizens paid taxes like the rest of Europe.
Sorry to hear the story. Reminds me EU VAT audit mess. Sometimes I dream we could make some virtual businesses completely in cryptospace to just avoid real world kafkesque bureaucracy we have now. And I am not about avoiding paying taxes, I am absolutely fine to pay % of what I get onto my personal account.
I know this sounds a bit silly, but politeness costs very little and is good practice. The lines between machine and being aren't very blurry yet, but they will get if we continue to advance in ai research at this pace, so we should probably get communication right from the beginning.

I am quite happy to hear "progress for the sake of progress is not necessarily an improvement either", as that is indeed true.

What ideological purposes do you think Musk has? What is the ideology he is pushing building rockets and electric cars?
I think this would cause a fundamental shift in our society.

Who would want to work minimum wage server jobs when offered the same salary for something more rewarding?

Who wants to do gruelling, poorly paid labouring on a construction site, if the alternative is training to be a craftsman for the same wage?

Those jobs would either need to be paid much more attractively (pushing up the cost of restaurant food and construction, in these examples), or - as quoted above - eliminated entirely.

I would be really interested to see how this would play out at scale.
I have done some experiments with telling ChatGPT it's an AI software engineer writing a Node.js program and it's talking to a special command interpreter that understands things like INSTALL_PACKAGE and UPDATE_FILE, then executing it's commands automatically and feeding the output back in. It was fascinating watching it try to complete a programming task, searching for appropriate modules, reading the docs, etc. But it seemed to get a bit overwhelmed and started alternating between listing files and editing the devnotes.md with it's plan. For some really simple tasks though it was able to complete them fully autonomously.

What actually worked better was just making a list of prompts and filenames in a JSON file and automatically giving each one to it and saving the results one after another. Then improving those specs after looking at the output. By being very specific, making sure that things like names and endpoints matched in each prompt, and adding a few hints, I was able to get it to complete a full working program with multiple HTML/JS pages and an Express.js server script.

Next experiment is to get it to output the spec.json based on another less technical one that doesn't have the file breakdown or technical details.

Tesla never used lidar. They did use a low-resolution radar and dropped it because they felt it was holding back their vision-based development. At the time, Musk commented that radar was not useful unless it were higher resolution.

There have been credible rumors of an upcoming addition of high-resolution radar to the Tesla sensor suite, consistent with Musk's earlier remarks.

Aren't you describing Level 5?

From what I see online, Level 4 means

"The car can operate without human input or oversight but only under select conditions defined by factors such as road type or geographic area"

Waymo has been operating geo-fenced self-driving cars without drivers present. It may not handle complex situations, but that isn't expected out of L4.

My grandma used to tell me about this situation. Specifically, how infuriating it was to work with people that would do the absolute minimum and be rewarded like people making an effort.
> “Shaped by experience” is not “choice” and “at least partially” does not mean “definitely specifically as to gender orientation”.

I see where you're going with this, but I still respectfully disagree - gender orientation (whatever the hell that is - do you mean trans people?) is not the same thing as sexual orientation, which is specifically "who you are attracted to", not "the gender you identify as". It's about sex, not gender.

And if experience can shape someone's sexual orientation, then the "pray the gay away" type of efforts would have succeeded. A lot of homosexual people in the past did not want to be that way, and yet no experience they had, or sought out, managed to change who they were attracted to.

So yeah, the argument "experience can shape your sexual orientation" is, IMNSHO, complete hogwash and at odds with reality as we've seen in the homosexual demographic.
And yet there are heterosexual women who remain heterosexual despite not finding traditional masculine traits attractive. They are attracted to men, but are not turned on by big muscles and aggression and alpha male posturing or what have you. And likewise with heterosexual men. That sexual orientation is genetically determined does not presuppose sexual attraction is restricted to a masculine and feminine binary.
By Deep Learning you mean neural networks with more than one hidden layer ? I've seen some results from massive random forests that are on par, but I don't know of anything that is set to replace the NN architecture, which at this point has been around in one form or another since 1957.
At the risk of invoking Godwin's Law, this reminds me of a 3-mile building that was built on the German island of Rügen 1936-1939

> You’re jaded

No, the question is whether Musk committed fraud by selling _in 2016_ self-driving car software which he is still unable to deliver in 2022, and the answer is YES whether or not you are "jaded".
Yes, poor maligned Saudi Arabia, they've never hurt anyone and haven't maintained a death grip on the world's energy for decades by undermining alternating energy at every turn (even while embracing it for domestic use). I mean, this [1] is from this year, and that after their own pivot into domestic renewables.

Just from the damage they've caused by inhibiting renewables, they're up there as some of the biggest contributors to global issues now and in the future. It's not only on them, many others are more then complicit, but they know what they've been doing.

Your first paragraph seems to hint this group of people should have done even more than they did: not sharing their opinion until explicitly asked. Implying that they may ought to have given the feedback with even more sensitivity is exactly the problem, it’s asking too much of the frank/sincere/mature person who to placate an adult with an unhealthy perspective of their life.

I’m not sure I explained my point very clearly, but what I mean is essentially: how far must we be expected to go to anticipate and maneuver around such sensitive souls?

Edit: rereading your comment, I think I didn’t respond to a key area of confusion / disagreement. Being “fake” versus “being naive or clueless”. Giving feedback that someone comes across as fake could mean that they seem dishonest, but I don’t think that’s the obvious interpretation in a situation like this. Being overly positive might seem fake on account of naivety or cluelessness. Any of these - naïveté, cluelessness, or dishonesty in communication - are all things that a professional should be corrected on when appropriate (like asking for honest feedback).
> Let's not forget that a 20% reduction across the entire internet is very significant.

Pretty sure the only way a robot is going to convince me that obvious makework is important is to do a lobotomy. Which I'd kind of prefer not to have.

Maybe people should get over the idea that work should be their source of worth. Which I suspect they will manage to do within a generation or so.
Lately I see this dosconnect from "reality" (for lack of a better word, in your example how satelite images are bought and how Google maps works) and people writing about it without a clue or interest to actually investigate (using outdated Google maps data to formulate a conspiracy theory). And it is not just journalism, it is everywhere, I see it at work (between seasoned people and those fesh from university or those that drank too much founder kool aid), in politics, you name it. I find that tebdency rather troubeling.

I think it is also one of the reasons why a majority of people have no idea how the infrastucture of world works, from electricity over supply chains to the internet and basically everything in between.

There is a difference between "abrasive" and "so abrasive that you need to legally prevent your employees from mentioning it outside the company". Apple is apparently in the latter category.
Methanol is a feedstock for lots of industrial chemicals too.
Sure enough LLMs are not going to win every kaggle competition. But... I am fairly certain that transformers may. Embed all categorical values, scale continuous features by embeddings, and run it through a graph neural network, with high probability it will beat nearly everything.

A constrained format based on JSONL with each record being a tuple of number/string/bool/null could better defined than CSV and looks almost like it. The benefit being, almost any json library could work with it, or could be made to one line at a time and it can be parallelized as newlines only exist as the delimiter.

I wanted to argue against this, but the strongest interpretation of what your saying could hold up to reason.

Perhaps there are some kinds of prions, or other, maybe similar, infectious agents, we haven't isolated yet.
Don't even have to watch and I can guess the why. He built up a business using the dense, relatively wealthy New York ecosystem, despite the difficulty created by heavy regulation.

Now, his business has either grown large enough online with non-local customers that he can leave New York and still do well ... Or his social media is enough of a business unto itself to leave.

Which I think is fine. But it's also important to recognize that many of these people leaving urban areas like this would never have been able to build a business had they not started their business where they did.
I am so sorry. I don't know what to advise other than talking to a family lawyer. Regrettably, the highly networked society we have collectively created has spawned its own sort of mass media and cultishness has become widespread because it is easy and profitable to engineer.

I don't know what to suggest for your situation - maybe talk to a family lawyer? I have the impression that the NHS is probably not up to providing the kind of mental health support needed to deal with a broad spectrum social problem.
Yes, it's just that: each process in the pipeline is spawned, and then blocks as it waits for input from the previous step in the pipeline.

I think a better way to think about it is that the UNIX model requires parallelism: without parallelism, each stage in the pipeline would need to fully buffer its intermediate state before forwarding it to the next stage.

JPEG XL is an approved international standard: ISO/IEC 18181

https://www.iso.org/standard/77977.html

Anyone interested in doing an independent implementation can use this specification (or a recent draft of the upcoming 2nd edition).
Alternatively, you can look at the source code of one of the three JPEG XL implementations currently available: libjxl, J40, and jxlatte. These are all open-source, and in a way that's an executable specification.
Sounds like a contract with specific terms! If we’re going to look at this as a contract, we’re going to need more than intuition: we’re going to need some contract law, and we’re probably going to need to look at all the disclosures and fine print involved in the purchase of FSD.

If that's the intention you can update your original comment to say the "open" standard, because your definition of standard is not universal. And then I would have instantly agreed because I've experienced this firsthand.

Besides from that technicality though, do you really think that publicly available standards would have changed the situation? I don't think so---Chrome (and to be clear, most other browsers) has supported tons of closed standards anyway.

Exactly.

A lot of startups are convinced they'll need Google scale from day one. Then, of course, the overwhelming majority fail in the first year.

Get a big, reliable, and cheap vhost/server somewhere, use as many "can't really go all that wrong" components like postgres, minio, etc and dockerize everything. If you want to get "fancy" use ZFS and setup some snapshots and backup. Most solutions don't even need 100% uptime. Communicate maintenance windows to customers and you'll be fine with a total of an hour of downtime (or whatever) in the first year. Most big, really complex, early over-engineered and unnecessarily "optimized" solutions have enough footguns you'll probably end up with more unscheduled downtime in the first year anyway.

In the rare event the startup really succeeds and customer demand, load, uptime requirements, etc demand it you can throw revenue/funding/etc at a K8s control plane on your favorite hosting provider, use a managed postgres/db/whatever, and S3 compatible object store, etc. Or, if things get really big skip all of that and hire in house talent to manage a couple of racks of leased hardware (same opex as cloud but almost always SUBSTANTIALLY cheaper) in geo redundant/distributed colocation facilities.

I've launched multiple startups with this strategy and it's gone very well. My current startups all run from the same big (but 10yr old) hardware that has loooooong since paid for itself even with lots of GPU, storage, etc upgrades over the years. People can be kind of scared of hardware but I've never had downtime or data loss caused by a hardware failure in almost 20 years of this approach.

People are always amazed when I do things with ML, TBs of data, lots of bandwidth, etc and I tell them my total hosting costs are $150/mo.
I've not studied this specifically but I do have a general interest in the complex control systems now in cars —and I try to avoid them.

I think that, from watching the likes or Rich Rebuilds, who ostensibly operates without any approval from tesla, the cars will run without the internet but I guess they'd become "feature complete" and when modules die it will be on the car hacking community to pick up the mantle.

Traditional cars aren't in a much better position as somewhat superfluous modules (think a radio head unit) can take down one of the many CANbus networks in your car and leave it a brick.

Many (most?) auto techs are not well versed identifying these types of low level problems and will fall back to firing the parts cannon at the car rather than identifying the issue definitively. Just like in Battleship you can get a hit by random guessing but this is a waste of money and resources.

The random superfluous modules also become unavailable and if they're critical to making the car start then your car might be out of commission for the foreseeable future. GM and Ford just don't have as much of a social media halo around them.

You do see a few headlines around particularly egregious money digs, like one company making remote start a subscription feature. That module and the car it's in is not built to last in my view.
It's one thing to produce ideas, it's another thing to implement everything including the CI/CD, authentication, Github Actions, etc... Now when some new unicorn comes along in 2036 that promises a ChatGPT+ based 'solution generation' app that can produce all the code & deployment for a real revenue generating application, then it's game over for all of us.
I don’t blame people for being too trusting and not entering into conflict with a state with bottomless pockets and a strong desire to win at any cost to avoid setting precedents.

I was hounded by California tax collectors over a mistake they made, it was clear they weren’t going to listen to reason on how they were obviously wrong given their own documentation and a lawsuit was going to be my only recourse. I opted to just give them the money, it was far less than the cost of a lawsuit. I consider it a cheap lesson in dealing with California tax collectors something I never want to risk having to do again.
I don’t think I agree at all with

> when you’re being bullied, you know you’re being bullied

When I was much younger I had a hard time being teased. I genuinely didn’t realize that this was normal among my friend group, and I was totally misreading the situation because I was too caught up in my own head. I don’t think I was correct about my interpretation of the situation.

I’m essentially disagreeing with any statement of the form: two people have different interpretations of a subjective situation / interpretation, and one of them is always right because they have they think X.
Back in the good old days, things like these could be added through plugins, instead of requiring everything to go through the browser manufacturer.

Plugins were removed mostly due to security issues (and also maintainability and portability worries), but nowadays that could be avoided by using WASM (see also https://hacks.mozilla.org/2020/02/securing-firefox-with-weba...).
Like BPG and HEIF, AVIF is based on keyframes (i-frames). There's no tradeoff because there is no motion, the point of keyframes is to reset the entire frame.

Keyframes are still images embedded in the video stream.
What is the point of unrealized gains if you can never realize them (spend them)?

One use case is being able to borrow more against the increased value, but I do not think that it is a good idea for 99% of people to use their primary residence as leverage.
Google has added AVIF.

In both cases the reason was that they've already invested in the video codec powering them, and the 1-frame-video-as-image format was almost free to add.
Yes and no. Yes, progress for the sake of progress isn't strictly an improvement.

On the other hand conditions are ever changing and our knowledge of the world changes our understanding of those conditions. To me these things nearly always imply that we should act in some direction to improve our lot. I don't see many people willing to put in the work. I see a lot of people willing to sit on the sideline and talk about how the people on the field are dumb or what they're doing obviously won't work, and that they are evil scheming villains who will surely change the world for the worst for their own benefit.
