Amazon is known for experimentation, but I am not a fan of the absolute homogenization of every site on the internet. Whether it be slides, reels or this new 'Inspire', it really seems to me that the suits have just figured out the newest brain hack to get people to spend more time on their apps and are showing it into everything.

I wonder what is the next big thing. TikTok absolutely landed the short scrollable videos format.I remember the founder of Instagram talking on Lex's show about the natural innovation within social media. First it was easy to transmit just text, few bytes, so sites like Twitter and early Facebook got big. Then there was a bit more bandwith, so Instagram and pictures got big, because nobody had to wait more than a second for pictures to load. Then it started to be easy to watch videos, so everybody is now showing TikTok style videos everywhere.

Perhaps Zuck was right? He did not want to capture current trend but dig out the next one? AR seemed to take off with Snapchat, so VR seems like the logical conclusion to follow next.
SBF Will Testify Before House Committee Next Tuesday
Eva Kaili, the MEP that got taken into custody, has several times talked about the transformative role of Blockchain, AI and FinTech.

As a person that is a bit cynical with overpromises around such technologies I can't help wonder how much of her support on such tech was sincere.
I'm not a security expert. What's the advantage of creating the recovery_token at registration time? Why can't the site just store master_public_key, and if the user ever needs to do recovery, then use it to challenge them?

The beauty (and horror) of Ruby is that you can do almost anything with it. I think this is a really interesting and clever use of the "can do anything" aspect of Ruby, although I think I'd prefer not to run into it in a production app.

Still, it's really cool to see how far we can push/mold the language to accomplish different tasks and patterns.
-Pair of Polk T15 passive bookshelf speakers
~50-80 for pair

-Fosi Q4 DAC amp for connection to PC via usb cable
~60

-Fosi TB10A analog amp, connect via RCA plugs to speakers
~60

I like this flexibility because I can swap any of those 3 components out for budget but worthy upgrades if I so desire without a major hit to the wallet.

you could skip the dac but I wanted to get away from mobo sounds that were hard to eliminate. and i like the desktop available headphone port.

I find this to be superior to the Edifier pair I had before which were already a great budget experience.

Quick note for any old schoolers, I still to this day miss my Logitech Z400 system. For the price I have yet to see a system produce that kind of sound from 4 satellites and a sub. I still have the satellites for small portable setups, but the sub started crackling and the volume knob ate it at some point.
Just store all updates - as if you do event sourcing - ordered by a timestamp. The list of updates will eventually converge as will any function of that list, including any function that merges all the updates into a current state. You might have to [partially] reevaluate the function in case a delayed update shows up and has to be inserted into the middle of the list of updates. So I guess there are additional requirements in order to qualify as a CRDT, bounded additional space or bounded amount of computation on updates. But I don't know as it turned out my understanding of what qualifies as a good CRDT was too narrow.
> In the article I linked, the creator of ANS asserts that Microsoft's patent covers the variant used in JXL.

This doesn't necessarily mean JPEG XL is patent-encumbered (the patent is still annoying, but not necessarily this way). It is recommended for ISO standards that relevant patents should be disclosed and available on a non-discriminatory basis [1], and while patent holders can ignore this recommendation they generally have no reason to do so. In the case of JPEG XL only Google [2] and Cloudinary [3] filed patent declarations, so Microsoft is reasonably thought to have no patents relevant to JPEG XL.

That's incredible. I can't imagine the Framework people ever thought of this particular extension card use case.

I wonder if something like this could sell on their third-party extension card store.
I think the point is to put yourself in the place of someone so bereft of technology and formal education and imagine how you would tally sheep. Also interesting how you can probably get children started earlier with lending a hand if you teach them a counting system based on singing. This is probably why we have the alphabet song.

Edit: I also find it interesting that this is a system only for tallying, not arithmetic. As one of the articles in my ensuing dive pointed out, nobody says, “Miney + eeny = moe” or “Dik minus tethera equals…”

Edit: And that the first two counting numbers being “something ending in nuh” and “something starting with tuh/duh” is an ancient idea, coming from long before Roman times and predating Latin.
The part that’s fraud is not whether it worked or not. The fraud is how it was marketed to the user.

Maybe you can research a bit pluggable table storage interface in PostgreSQL. It is possible either to implement your storage, which works fine with CRDT, or try to find some storage implementation, which works fine with such usage pattern (like, https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Zheap )

It’s literally in the name - “Full Self-Driving”. They’ve been marketing this for years (probably still do).
You make it seem like the commercial was the only evidence used to prove that he committed fraud. He made statements, both in media and in legal documents, that proved in the court that he commit fraud.
Tesla's lawyers state: "mere failure to realize a long-term, aspirational goal is not fraud"

They intentionally neglect to acknowledge musk's many specific claims that involved specific timelines, as opposed to the nebulous long term aspirations they allude to.
I have a moderate sized selection of mostly B&W comics. JXL is the first format that out performs JPEG 2000 on them. It cleans AVIF's clock on them, in a rather unfair comparison of JXL's default settings vs hand tuned settings for AVIF with different settings for color and B&W comics.

It also far outperforms an optipng encoded PNG for lossless. I know either my corpus or my eyeball is different from the benchmarks used by AVIF but I do want to share this outlier.
Maybe they didn't think of it, but they certainly made it happen! The fact that they provide customizable 3D-printable models in a GitHub repo is fantastic, I love the laptop and the company.

Germany sure needs to considering policing the autobahn better. The number of drivers tailgating and flashing is atrocious. I dont understand how such a cool road system has become so aggressive.
Yes, but the trick is not not looking. This is a lot better than the corruption being widely known and nothing being done against it (can you guess which country I'm thinking of?).

This sends the signal that in Europe, corruption can come back to hurt you.
Your math is fine starting from the 9,9m number but you didn't take into account what I wrote, which is that the total population of greece is 10,4 millions. Registered voters are those >=17 years old
so only 500k are <17 which of course is not valid

EDIT: adding more data, official numbers state ~1,5m of age 0-14. Let's say 200k more in the 15-16 range, that is ~1,7m
10,4-1,7 = 8,7m >=17 years old.
Population of Greece dropped by about 400k between the previous and current census (2011-2021) while the registered voters number from 2009 elections hasn't changed.
I'm afraid that 1,7m gap is not justified at all, we locals have long heard of how bad the registered voters records are, still including a lot of dead people etc.

To not lose track, this thread is just to justify why the numbers in the OP are to be taken with a grain of salt
Businesses who have their own data fine tune trained models (this is already a thing). So you need model repositories (like hugging face) not dataset brokers.
FSD beta is fairly good, certainly better than the standard Autopilot. It's definitely not perfect, but so far for basic driving from point A to B it seems to work well. I can only see the tech improving as it gathers more data and feedback. It's a ML training data problem at this point, no?
And no one forces anyone to buy a

7TV Conference 2022
>>Tesla’s Full Self-Driving technology may be a failure, Tesla lawyers admit — but it’s not a fraud.

But it IS a fraud when you state or imply that it is usable with capabilities X, Y, and Z, and it actually is not.

Merely calling it "Full Self Driving" is a very clear statement that the damn thing will drive itself, and do so fully.

1st DDG Definition: Full: "2. Complete in every particular."

So, if is supposed to drive itself. Moreover, Tesla & Musk claim this capability is complete in every particular, as in it does it itself, not requiring me to add any capability.

This FSD claim has been going on since like 2014, with "autopilot Hardware 2.0" shipping when Barack Obama was still president [0].

Yet we still have nothing resembling actual "Full Self Driving" - which would be get in the car, tell it where to go, and get there without touching any controls or worrying about errors.

It'd be one thing if it was promised last year and it was not quite here yet.

But this is closer to a decade and FSD is NOWHERE CLOSE to this capability. This is one of the biggest vaporware scams ever.

Yeah excellent aside from the subpar build quality and horrible service. The ev tech is the main part of a Tesla that was revolutionary. Unfortunately this is all irrelevant to the self driving fraud perspective and the multitudes who bought cars or more important stock in the company based on future prospects that Tesla advertised.
Minor point: JPEG is not the default format for Apple iPhone cameras, they’ve used HEIC by default for quite a while now.
I feel our government should regulate this kind of speech more aggressively, to boost the safety of the public.

The messaging by Tesla has been misleading, yes. There have been many other examples of couching date-slippage and over-promises with phrases like "no promises but Cybertruck|FSD|Model 3|Rockets|AI|Robotics|Neural-Link|End-Of-The-World should be here in two years."

Announcing a capability, and importantly MUSK acting as a widely-recognized public figure like it's ready - shaming every other fledgling competitor, before it's ready, is amounting to GASLIGHTING.

A speculate this is what we should expect from the company-owner's notable, controversial personality type.

Immediately upon receiving "Full Self Driving Beta", in the 201x's, some Tesla drivers CRASHED because they turned ON the lane-keep-assist and then left the car to do the driving .. straight into the back of a stopped truck, or a split open lane-divider, and died.

To reiterate, this mis-leadership has resulted in death.

I suspect that CEO personality-type is a salient factor in whether a company should be allowed to operate. Should we stop this .. should we prevent actual Companies operating? Not just a group of hobbyists but tax-paying, licensed, employing companies. It is OUR government. We can stop this predictable travesty of gaslighting -> good-faith belief -> bad outcomes.

Fireship person, More power to you as a fellow indie; Don't pay much attention to those who would praise a $999 monitor stand from a Trillion $ company but ask why an indie charges $30 for a living.
My opinion doesn’t matter, but your last point resonates with me because this struck me as totally bizarre too.

I don’t work in sensing let alone using AI with sensing data, but I’m around it a lot and my second-hand knowledge kind of set off some red flags.

In remote sensing for landscape architecture, hydrography, and other similar fields (making sense of static things where no one is at risk of dying immediately, and humans review the data), the care and knowledge that goes into choosing sensor suites and processing the data properly is huge. Yet Tesla comes out saying “we’ve got some mediocre cameras and we’re gonna run with it!”

Seriously? What? I get that it’s a lot of cameras but making sense of 3d space isn’t trivial at all. It’s so bizarre.

Again, I know nothing, they know more than I do. The whole thing just doesn’t sit right.

> there is a value between zero and however much the property is underwater that people would be willing to pay to no longer be underwater.

It's hard to play along with such a unrealistic hypothetical. Sure, I'd pay $5 to rid myself of $10 of debt, but lenders generally won't be willing to accept that, so around we go in circles. Generally, mortgage lenders are willing to accept short sales when they reflect market realities though.

> Being underwater is really bad and will be life destroying for many people, even if they never have to sell they will be far worse off on average than if they didn’t buy a house that lost value.

I get you lose some optionality, but for a lot of people, the market value of their house went down at the same time as mortgage rates went up. Monthly payments on a 100% financed home would be pretty similar, so I don't see how it's life destroying to be underwater when you have a similar payment to keep your house as your neighbor. Yes, if you have a forced sale, it's not great, but it's not significantly worse to be tens of thousands underwater than if you were simply at $0 equity; again, most of the time you don't end up needing to pay the underwater portiom back. Yes, if you made a large downpayment, that's no longer accessible; there's risk there, but a smaller downpayment and PMI was usually an option, and sometimes PMI isn't that expensive. Yes, it reduces your willingness to move, and that's negative in a lot of ways, but there are ways to move anyway, you mostly have to set up the new housing first before defaulting on the old housing and commit to the new place for a while because it will be harder to move going forward.

Otoh, you have leverage over the lender in a way that most borrowers don't. If the lender forecloses, they realize their loss; that makes them somewhat reluctant to foreclose. You may be able to miss more payments before foreclosure proceedings begin or get other concessions.

It's definitely a different story, IMHO, than in 2008-2009 when people were underwater and rates went down. In that case, being underwater prevented accessing lower rate financing, so people in that situation were missing out on useful services.
> I get that google has removed support so you're looking for other options but maybe consider putting up an announcement on your site(s) that google chrome is not supported instead of making it worse for all other browsers.

I have no horse in the JPEG XL race. I am not even necessarily focused on images. I see value in using WASM (and/or JS) for application-specific codecs. That is all.

None of my decisions have any ability to make things "worse" for other browsers, especially when those browser vendors never intended to support my application-specific codec to begin with.
We had social media before Facebook/instagram era too. Heck we had electric cars before gasoline powered cars became a thing.

I think it’s obvious at this point that Tesla was the first to bring commercial electric vehicles in production at scale, and the first to make it compete with ICE vehicles for the masses - well beyond the niche who’ve been using an electric car since Leaf era.
They do, and some will absolutely do (to some it is important to "assess" language) - it really depends on what you mean with "people" (of course I meant a subset).

What happened there is, in the succession of editings I left that 'people' there in a way that happened to be ambiguous. I made a composition error out of inattention.

Musk is a charlatan, but why do people act like it is common to buy $40k+ cars like picking up some gum in the checkout aisle? What the features name sounds like is not the only factor here. People don’t buys cars with that lack of thought. What the salespeople say, what the marketing material says, what the manual says, what the CEO says in public, what the feature feels like during a test drive should all matter more. This isn’t a defense of Tesla. I think it still leaves an argument for fraud, but we really need a better argument than the same “the name sounds misleading when you first hear it” argument that has been repeated for years now. If that was all it took, we all would have sued cellphone companies for their “unlimited plans”.
> I literally have the equivalent of $1500 in my wallet right now.

Then Spain and Greece meet your definition of being dystopian, as their cash payment limits are 1,000 EUR and 500 EUR respectively.

And I agree with you.
Tesla used to market this as "Full self driving hardware" on their website. They conveniently did not mention that you would also need the software, which still does not exist.
I signed up for Jeremy Howard’s second AI course at the University of Queensland. The course lectures were streamed live to participants around the world in October and November. An online forum organizes everything.

When this course becomes public next year, I think it will be a great way to get caught up. In the meantime, you might still be able to pay the AU $500 fee and watch the course content, which was all recorded, if you are anxious to get going.
Had a chance to take a little more of a look, did you investigate querying/indexing within the documents? (Didn't spot any sign in the repository)

Without the ability to index properties, or do ad-hock queries, on the documents there is little reason to to the merging in-DB. It then makes more sense to merge outside the DB and save both the raw CRDT object and a serialised JSON next to it for querying. I assume that if you had found it's performance better, indexing+querying would have been the next step?

However I'm not surprised you found performance not ideal, I suspect a layer in-front of PG throttling writes is the only way forward for a real-time use case.

Personally I find the offline + eventual consistency the most interesting use case. The ability to sync a users document set to a local db (SQLite or a future mini-pg/supabase) with local querying and then merge them back later. This could be as basic as a three column table (guid, doc, clock), the clock being a global Lamport like clock to enable syncing only changed documents.
Around five years ago, I had to learn a new language because I moved country. I've learned several languages before and so I got good at it quite quickly, and I think my pronunciation in general is quite decent, but you can notice the words I learned very early, because I have a habit of pronouncing them with the wrong stress or vowel quality. It's hard to break those habits once you've formed them.
- But what really sets this product apart from others is its long-term, aspirational goals!

- You mean features?

- The problem with features is that they can also turn out to be bugs. Our innovation here was to do away with features.

- To get rid of bugs?

- That rights, to get rid of bugs: what sets aspirational goals apart from mere product features.

- But ..

- Product features can also turn out to be downright frauds. "This product features x" when it doesn't. Now that is fraud. But "this product aspires to x" and jeez, it fails to reach its goals. We're all human after all.
