I'm not a professional photographer, so I don't have their needs. But Google Picasa still works for my photos. I use Dropbox to sync them off my phone onto my PC.

And Krita and Photopea has replaced my need for Photoshop after I dumped Adobe several years ago. And then there's mobile apps like Procreate and Infinite Painter. I also own the Affinity products which are quite nice. But I admittedly don't use them much.

I lost trust in Adobe years ago, especially when every new release for the yearly Adobe Max was full of new bugs. Seeing news like this reminds me to never go back.

Not every book can afford the best narrators. A good one charges somewhere in the ballpark of $300-500 a finished hour. So for an average novel that's like $3000-5000. Not all writers can afford that, so this is an cheaper alternative.

Its like an Lexus vs Hyundai.
Huh? The auto industry is famous for outsourcing to plants outside of the country and bring the final cars back in to the country. They are also famous for manufacturing the parts from all of the world, and then assembling them in another country. Apple's "Designed in Cupertino, assembled in ___" is the same thing.
> Minimalistic interiors

Is this something you see as a benefit? For me Tesla's overall aesthetic, including both their exterior looks and interior design, along with the absence of physical controls that go long with that represent their biggest downsides (outside of build quality).

This is something I’ve been contemplating way too much lately.

I’m 37, but I look back at the internet I don’t really remember anything feeling like an overnight paradigm shift. But, revisiting moments like this buttocks post are like relics frozen in time — and I definitely feel like things are different and more streamlined in the internet now.

The internet became a streamlined hate-filled echo chamber so slowly that I never saw it happening.
The US / UK coup in the 50s overthrew a democratically-elected leader to install a puppet regime. The subsequent revolution was to a large extent a backlash against imperialism. "Installed by" may not be accurate, but that the current regime is in power is largely a consequence of Western actions.

I think Western policy towards Iran has been an absolute disaster in just about any measurement you can think of: global security, regional stability, the Iranian people.
Create some files of random numbers "for users that want to leverage those instead of running a local RNG" or some such. Text files (for counting percents), compressed (for local storage). Practically zero network costs.

Or offer to serve "a stream of 'y' answers" for the users who do not want to depend on running a local "yes" utility. Count size uncompressed. Compress with a special "char number_of_repeats" algorithm. I wonder if this is enough to go past the current politician class...

I don't think it follows from the fact that most people drive (buy) cars in the US that they actually prefer it. Corporate lobbying and politics have ensured that you can't function in the vast majority of the US without a car. People in cities in Europe that support and/or prioritize bike/pedestrian traffic see many to most people preferring it. I went through childhood, uni, and the first year of my professional life living in car-dependent (but still nice) places. I moved to a city where I can (and do) live without a car and I vastly prefer not having to drive. I suspect many who say they prefer cars haven't even had the opportunity to live somewhere where they aren't a necessity.
486DLC/SLC were not really "crippled versions", they were completely different CPU designs that used the 486 name as Intel wasn't able to stop other companies from using a number (one of the reasons for naming the next cpu family "pentium" which they could trademark/copyright). The crippled versions were the 486SXs, which disabled the FPU.
I didn't quite get past the nostalgia stories, but here's why SQLite succeeded as a database in my projects: I can run a single lightweight binary and I have a database. It's simple and it "just works". For 99% of projects it's enough. For those that it's not, replacing it with something more heavy-duty is easy.
So does this mean investors can't create new catergories and must think in absolute terms and existing boxes? How would could we, humans who know boxed thinking leads to fallacies and know the world is made of continuums in many (infinte?) dimension, use that to beat the market...?
> But why do you think legislation should be the one forcing that choice on everyone, rather than the market allowing consumers to choose?

I see a lot of debate about market forces vs regulation. In my view, neither one of them will solve every problem; that's why we have both.

As others have mentioned, an issue with Facebook is that the consent was not informed and explicit.

Another group of related issues, and this is where I think the balance needs to tip to regulation, is the network effect/walled garden/near monopoly: choosing another platform doesn't just require signing up to another business model or UX, it also involves being able to communicate with a different group of people. This is compounded by their takeover of Instagram and WhatsApp.

As Facebook only offers one model (pay for the service by sacrificing personal data) it's an all or none proposition. This might satisfy the US market better than European ones.

A couple of comments from a narrator whose worked through ACX before.

First, the last few years have seen a race to the bottom for narrator rates, since during the pandemic it was recognized that it's a job that can be easily done from home, literally from anywhere in the world.

Accordingly, the up-front cost for an average quality 10 hour book is only about $1,500, and can be turned around in under two weeks from a human. If you get a really good and well known narrator, it's still only about $4,000 (and you'll probably get it quicker).

Also, they're going to be competing against revenue share models from Amazon/Audible, which basically means it costs the author nothing up front. Amazon's bite out of audiobook sales is absurdly high (60%), so other companies could (and are) definitely improve on that. It's mostly a fight against Audible's brand at this point.

But back to AI: AI narration is going to have to compete against humans willing to do a lot of work for very little pay. I'm honestly not sure the compute and QA costs will be competitive. And frankly, even if it is cheaper, it's not as if those savings will be passed back to the customer.

If you'd like to look at how little it can cost to get a human to do voiceover work, check out fiverr.com and look for voice actors and narrators.

Even back when I worked there in logistics, I wondered how much of AMZN share price comes from AWS and how much comes from retail. But then it is difficult, cash flow comes from retail, profits come from AWS. So Amazon might actually be both, and benefiting from it.
> We know that porn is harmful

A lot of assumptions and unquestioned biases in that little statement.

But I think the bigger point here is the debate about how much and which parenting roles we want government to take on.

I’d argue that religion is far more harmful, especially to children. Teaching magical thinking, false promises of afterlife, and hatred for outgroups can warp peoples’s whole lives.

> That’s a standard we’ve had in America for generations

That isn’t a particularly strong argument, given the other standards we’ve had for generations, like treatment of women and minorities, the inequalities of the justice and financial systems, the corruption and nepotism in our politics. The insane idea that 5 year olds play highly violent video games daily but will somehow be ruined by seeing boobs (or even fucking) is just. . . Wow.

Adding these laws that can be easily bypassed (in this case by using a VPN or providing someone else's ID) only encourages corruption and moves money to extra parties (in this case, VPNs most likely).

Instead - why not invest that money/time in making education about a healthy sexual life available and to people?

In general, approaches that are "let's prevent minors from doing X by telling them not to while still making it easy to do anyway" are bad, make kids feel talked down to and push them to understanding sexuality through porn which is what they're trying to avoid.

There is a big difference between flashing a card at point-of-sale and having to register for a permanent record with the state.

When the database leaks — and it will - we know what it will look like: the AshleyMadison leaks. People died.

There are plenty of technical mechanisms that are available to parents and schools (etc) to block access to this material. None of them need involve the state.

In the end, we must treat this like any other substance that children aren’t ready for. Whether we are talking about taking cannabis, alcohol, pornography, or Tide pods, the most effective protection is parents and educators who care and teach children about potentially harmful behaviors.
It's not about tech or not tech, it's about potential for growth and earnings. TSLA does not have the upside we all thought, and they are showing no signs of wanting to acquire huge swaths of market share by buying competitors while they have/had the valuation to do so. In other words, TSLA is not realizing their potential to "take over the world" and is behaving like a normal, big company in a mature market.

How often do you travel those 200 miles? Why can't you use a car share service for that one occasion? I'm not assuming people never travels beyond their city.

Why do car enablers always use people needing a wheelchair to push their agenda? If you're so concerned with their well being, wouldn't it be better if they got the roads for themselves and didn't get stuck in traffic and could always find parking close?

Or if they didn't need a car to travel miles to a grocery store but it was next door instead?

And no, the problems with cars are much greater than their carbon footprint. What about their area footprint for parking? The insane land used for roads? All the deaths? The pollution and micro plastics from their wheels? How children can't play outside in streets? How the streets instead of a nice neighborhood is just traffic? The noise?

And no, EVs doesn't solve much about the carbon footprint, not unless the energy is all green. It just moves it around.
Wind provided 25% of electricity in Texas in 2021 [1]. A decade ago, it was close to 12%. A decade from now, it will be 45-50%. Even now, by selecting only the nights with strong winds, an EV driver can tap the grid when 50% of the electricity comes from nuclear and wind turbines.

Carbon sources aren't moved. They are decommissioned.

You’re wrong. Auto manufacturers source parts from a huge variety of outside manufacturers. Auto manufacturers:

1) manage supply chain (hardest part)
2) spec parts (establish quality metrics, change small aspects of design)
3) come up with car concepts
4) assemble parts certain components (e.g. weld the frame, install all the premade parts)

They are not building or designing every component in a car - not even close.
Maybe its incumbent automakers finally ramping up the competition and putting electric vehicles on the road. Telsa has probably been overvalued for a while and needed to come back to earth but between their R&D and massive lead in charging networks I still think they have a bright future. I think the R1T is the coolest truck on the market right now and the R1S is my most desired suv but now that all of the incumbents are starting to ship electric trucks its going to be hard for them to compete. Those vehicles are like $100k+ with a reasonable configuration. I don't understand Lucid at all.
Amazon is an everything company. A little tech, a little retail, a little ads,a little logistics, a little entertainment.
> They act exactly like sentences, and serve exactly the same purpose, because they are declarative sentences about the relationships between numbers.

"Exactly" is simply incorrect in both occurrences, here.

> It also, as a sibling comment notes, has nothing to do with Common Core, its an orthogonal development in pedagogical approach to the Common Core standards.

All this hit alongside Common Core. Ask teachers and they won't quibble with lumping this practice in with Common Core, since that's how it's expressed in practice, though some might be aware that it's not in the standards. Source: I know a lot of teachers.

> What you offer there is an analogy, not an example.

It's both, so you're technically wrong, which I gather you think is the worst kind of wrong. Analogy's probably the better word here, though, sure, if I was only going to use one.

> Analogies don't really act like examples and don’t serve the same purpose.

They act exactly like them. Using your sense of "exactly" from above.
It is available via public APIs, but the hardware instructions themselves are not documented. This lets the instructions change in future CPUs, vs having the ISA be baked in stone forever.

Example: AMX predated the standard ARM matrix multiply instructions. Perhaps Apple will add the ARM versions someday and now can remove AMX without breaking compatibility. Or maybe there will be a non-additive AMXv2.

> Driving needs some intelligence which is a bit generic but still different to other general intelligences, so it is not AGI-hard.

For automated driving to be acceptable within society it is going have to be at least as good as an average human driver.

In an urban street most non-speeding human drivers will see a child with a puppy off the lead and will understand that that child will be very likely to run after the puppy if it jumps into the road (And will most likely slow down in anticipation).

AGI, according to Wikipedia, is "the ability of an intelligent agent to understand or learn any intellectual task that a human being can".

How in general can an automated driving perform as well as a system with a human in the loop if it does not richly model human behaviour, i.e. achieve AGI?

Pornhub just doesn’t want the hassle of a legal fight or PR-centric indictments from grandstanding politicians. Easier to block a state that probably contributes little revenue and (per pornhub stats) just stresses the trans porn servers.

Sodium sulfur battery however readily forms a sulfate salt with a hot steam explosion, which is different from sodium metal alone. Lithium battery emits lots of hydrogen gas alongside being super hot which makes for a bigger boom and hot fire that will burn underwater.
> Pornography is a dangerous terrible thing. If exposed to it as a child it will likely impact you for the rest of your life

Addiction to pornography is a dangerous, terrible thing. The main thing that makes pornography dangerous to youngsters is the vacuum of cultural context around sex in America. In cultures with a healthier relationship with sex, porn competes with wholesome constructs, and takes its place as entertainment versus instruction.
Being ahead on everything doesn't help if the larger players can pick and choose improvements and learn from your mistakes and adapt.

It really doesn't help when the leadership of said car company is erratic and eroding the goodwill of the brand while people generally feel comfortable with more established carmakers. I feel pretty confident that major automakers are going to be around in 10 years. Buying a Tesla already feels like a bit of a gamble to me just because of its newness.

With an economy that's already slowing it could really hurt them when it's likely fewer people are buying cars and will be more cautious about it when they do. "Maybe I'll hold off another year and see how the new crop of cars compares with the Tesla."
Our suburbs are designed for cars. Our cities are retrofitted for cars.

That might seem pedantic but I’m not trying to be. The point is that we do actually have significant areas of population which are ready to be reworked to prioritize cycling without completely changing the way we live.

Suburbs can also prioritize safe cycling. Take a look at bentonville Arkansas. It has a tiny downtown but most of it looks and functions like a suburb. They’ve made it safe for everyone to ride their bikes to commute and for pleasure. It’s not a blueprint by any means, it’s a passion project by some rich folks, but it’s proof that the suburbs can be retrofitted with a vision and will.

> To your second point, I would disagree that we learn maths that we may likely never directly use not because of historical fascination

That was not my point. No one learns math because of historical fascination. The point was simply the stories about the math are more interesting than the math itself, which isn't any stretch of the imagination.
