Half the parts listed here you would probably find in a dishwasher or car radio as well, they're called jellybean parts.

It might not even mean they bought these parts from a legitimate source. They might have been reclaimed or salvaged from legitimate electronics, or they might even be counterfeit chips (which often come from Asia) that were labelled to look like the genuine part.
I think the point here is that trains go for hundreds of miles faster than a Tesla. If you're going 800 miles, a train might well get there first, though a Tesla's top speed is 4x the trains.
I am. Fuck playing unfinished, unoptimized games for only 69.99 and paying for a dozen streaming services to watch shows.

Why exactly did music piracy go downhill? Because you can just pay 10 bucks (or a fiver if you're a student) per month and have pretty much everything available at high quality.
Accent depends on where you were born/raised, not on your race.
So the global supply chain is global?

Doesn't seem all that surprising that single use drones are being built from readily available parts.
The market is profoundly distorted by single use zoning, parking minimums, density maximums, wide (and high speed) stroads, and other urban design choices that force long journeys. It's also not safe to be on an ebike surrounded by electric Hummers, F-350 super duties, and your normal "whole kindergarten class in the blind spot" Escalades.

Having just spent a week in Utrecht it's very clear that "the market" can certainly show a preference for ebikes over cars.
That sounds like a smaller shop maybe.
The problem is big, established shops, with dozens of teams of dozens of people.. 300 developers, etc.. think they can get all the above with 2 CloudOps guys.

Instead zero happy paths get defined in a timely manner, everything you are trying to do is hamstrung and waiting in the CloudOps queue, and you can't self-serve around them because you cannot do it yourself due to permissions.

Imagine an org where "the happy path for RDS will be ready in 2-3 months, and only support one database type and 3 instance sizes" is somehow acceptable. Rinse & repeat for an alphabet soup of 25 other AWS services.
> Our choice of D was based on three criteria: syntax similarity to the C programming language, interoperability with C programs and high performance generated code.

I'm a bit perplexed tying to figure out how any of these criteria is a reason to choose D over rust
An US label on a component means nothing.

Even when the silicon chips are really made in USA, in most cases the packaging and testing are done in SE Asia, from where they go to the customers.
+1 to this. A whole load of movies that Disney and Netflix want to get behind a subscription are $2 at Goodwill or another thrift store. A DVD drive and Handbrake will place the movie on your computer for you.
That’s an 8 year old camera with a lens that was just ok when new.

Your specific situation makes sense, but generalizing that is a bit of a stretch.

My phone is better than my older cameras too, but not than my FF Canon. I’ve made this comment before as well:

Phones have completely destroyed the P&S market for good reason. They can’t touch the FF and above market due to simple physics.
I feel like im stating the obvious but you can't just double the headcount on AWS and expect AWS profits to double

The profitable divisions are probably still hiring, and there might be an option for some of the 18,000 to interview internally before getting terminated, some companies gave that option (30 day internal interview deadline). But you can't just move 3,000 Alexa employees to AWS and expect things to go smoothly
Well, it has long been argued that stock buy back is an indicator a company that doesn’t know how to invest into its own r&d. Not to say that Amazon is the type of company that doesn’t know where to move it’s people, perhaps they don’t know at the moment and would rather save on the labor.

Unless your company is in financial hardship, ditching headcount is similar to a stock buy back. You don’t know how to invest the money, and you don’t know how to invest the people - yet.
Bicycles are the most common form of transport where I live in Umeå, and in the two nearest cities, Oulu and Vaasa. I’ll let you check what the weather is like today.

I’m not advocating bicycles to transport wood (the most common industry here) to the train.
If you can wait, most Amazon products are on Aliexpress for much less, sometimes 50% less, up to 90% for electronic components.
For me,

Netflix is heavily subsidized via my TMobile bill.

Amazon Prime Video is bundled with Amazon Prime. I would have that anyway.

AppleTV+ is bundled with Apple One

Paramount+ is bundled with Walmart+ which is free with the Amex Platinum

I am grandfathered in with free HBO Max because I have internet with AT&T.

The only thing I pay full price for is the Disney/Hulu/ESPN+ bundle.
This might predate the web3 bubble bursting by a bit. I am somewhat adjacent to the space in my spare time (help some friends with their code sometimes) and they were getting pretty hyped up about having NFTs with A.I. personalities trained into them and having them in a metaverse as NPCs you could talk to.

Then ChatGPT happened and they got even more excited about that, as it seemed even more plausible and doable. I wouldn't classify those people as grifters, they genuinely believe they're bringing about a new future and the web3 bubble bursting is temporary (I'm more skeptical myself, but not so much I'm not willing to help out here and there).

Not to say there weren't a ton of grifters in the space, there definitely were (and a lot of them). As well as people who thought they weren't being grifters, but then the bottom fell out of web3 and they're like, 'oh shit, guess I was wrong about all this', and they ended up becoming one without intending to.

There are people that can be in both crypto and A.I. grifting at the same time, too. Like they see A.I. art as a quick and easy way to generate art for NFTs. So they're not mutually exclusive fields.

And some people just perpetually bounce from one get rich quick scheme to another. It's happened since way before crypto, and it'll keep happening. If you stay at the forefront of it, and cash out as the frenzy starts to hit, it's probably fairly effective, too, but if you're perpetually late to these things, as most people are, it's just going to keep being a money pit for you.
I think you're right and you're wrong, it's a bit more complicated.

ML is one of the few applications that benefit from platform-specific optimizations, so if you need every ounce of performance, you have your choice of which walled garden you want to tether your application to. The "lock-in" comes from the specific capabilities of your special-purpose hardware, and for serious applications, you're already thinking hard about whether to design your entire implementation around Apple, NVidia, Google/TPU, or even Android devices. For big models, platform-specific needs influence every aspect of model design, including data/model sharding, quantization, training loops...

For non-scientific applications, it's usual practice to train your model in platform-agnostic ways using PyTorch or Tensorflow or whatever and then deploy it to devices in platform-specific ways, whether that's XLA, CoreML, Edge TPU, Android NNAPI, TensorflowJS, or hell, custom-written GLSL shaders or whatever.

We're just starting to see cross-platform frameworks that abstract model inference: TFLite, PyTorch Mobile, ONNX. To their credit, CoreML can act as a backend for any of these, so you don't even need to worry about your platform.

If you are flexible and plan ahead. If I decide now to go visit my sister tomorrow (~4 hours by the fastest train route), want to get there not much slower than by car, and travel at a time that is convenient for me, then I'll end up paying a lot more if I go by train, even if I'm traveling alone.
The US has been shipping refuse to China for quite some time for recycling. I have been to Shenzhen and there are millions of recycled electronic parts owned, manufactured, or distributed by American companies, including "semiconductors and GPS modules".

What is the likelihood that these parts are mostly recycled?
Sure! These are my opinions of course.

If I spend a lot of time, effort, or money creating something, I may have plans to try to make money on it. If many people copy it for free, they may not be stealing as physical object from me, but they are removing my ability to generate revenue from them based off of my time, effort, or money.

And of course, taking it to the extreme, people simply will stop creating works. Or, some folks may not be able to afford to create works.

I'm well aware that most here won't agree with me, but I think it's on the creator to be able to determine what they want to do with their creations, and that it's not ok for me to arbitrarily tell them that their work is completely worthless, except I really really want to utilize it.
Sony shows off electric car prototype at CES
Unless you have a family. It has to be there when you need it.

Here in Québec we had an elected official who used to preach against cars and then once she got elected bought a SUV because, like everyone else with kids, she needed it for her family.

The "you shouldn't need to own a car" attitude is arrogant and authoritarian in nature.
To be sure many Americans will worry about the danger of being in the smallest vehicle on the road — having to contend with SUVs, full-size pickup trucks.

But just as the Japanese found a foothold in the U.S. auto market in the 70's, if there were an electric car for under $10K I suspect a lot of people would find that their fears could be somewhat tempered.

What would be the point of defining intelligence as only that which average humans can do? Is what humanity as a species can achieve something else? Does putting aside the latter help?

Personally, I'm skeptical, but at least it is testable.
The main difference would probably be that being on the internet absentmindedly or poorly doesn't generally cause deaths and damage to third parties to the same extent as driving.
This is a shallow take IMO; the idea of sanctions are to add enough friction to hurt, not to be able to completely throttle an adversary.

Spending time trying to fund and manage black market networks, raiding recycling centers, buying and dismantling washing machines for chips etc. is all time that the Russians aren't putting towards streamlining cruise missile production.

To drive down wages. All tech companies firing thousands of people at the same time is a simple way to do this. Hire back in a year at much reduced salaries and benefits.
Bad on Github. It shouldnt have come down like that in the first place.
Well I dont agree it’s the same impulse. Iranian sovereignty is directly influenced by the actions of its immediate neighbors. U.S. doesn’t have the same concerns, as they aren’t even on the same continent. Neither regime has the moral high ground, but the Iranian regime has a more pressing obligation to its people to ensure their survival. The U.S. is the expeditionary force acting in foreign lands. Their actions are not equivalent.

If I'm not mistaken, aren't the Argentine mines brine-based? These aren't your typical 'pit' mines. Furthermore, isn't the location of these mines in the arid high plateau near the Andes?
The Aptera is going to cost $30,000 (more than entry-level cars) and will only seat two people. I'm not really sure the appeal over an electric bike or motorcycle for an individual given the huge gulf in cost. This is not a good solution for most people who do not earn enough to justify an expense like that, even more so given the product is new and has a higher potential for being unreliable.

There is also the problem of solving family transport, which has no good answer other than EVs. Although, for a lot of people, work-from-home has reduced their annual mileage several fold.
> Yes, they overhired but also those people hired got experience and a job.

Do you have any idea how much stress and strain this can put on a person, especially if they are the provider for their family?

It is very much a dark pattern that “continue watching” isn’t in the first row on the streaming services and “my list” isn’t the second row.

I agree.
What does this offer compared to Flowbite or Tailwind UI? Prima facie, it looks like a clone.
Certainly wit, sarcasm, and satire are all welcome contextually. The criticism is obviously on facile low-effort puns and juvenile butt-joke humor which are welcome on 100% of every social media platform I'm aware of.

Havent left the seven seas since ive discovered it a decade ago. At this point the inconvenience of finding things doesnt even feel burdensome for myself and for the few i provide things. Not even in a private tracker, just a few semi private ones
They don't need to be diverted. I don't think there's any restrictions on shipping to Iran these kinds of low level components. Are there?
This.

Phones have destroyed the P&S market, but without ignoring physics that’s as far as they can go. A FF and above camera will always be better, as well as having all the other advantages listed (lenses, batteries, etc.).

Smaller formats will struggle despite having the physics advantage simply due to cost; smaller sensor cameras are generally not as expensive and so don’t take full advantage of their sensor area. The lens ecosystems are also not as good as the larger, more professional mounts.
I have. It comes down to who the coach is. I always say a therapist helps you gather the trash. A life coach helps you take out the trash. I recommend interviewing a bunch of folks - what do you want them to be good at, who should they have worked with before. I run it like any candidate process. Technically this person is working on your betterment.
In normal situations you don't need speech recognition, but to drive as well as a human in all possible situations you do. What if there is an emergency and there is a loudspeaker giving drivers instructions on how to turn around?

There's not one mention of AI having a body in your article. IMO, this is the primary missing factor in discussing the technology. And memories of that body's experience, of course.

Prime delivery was a once a week thing in a remote town in Utah several years ago. On the other hand, my parents live in a rural area in the midwest and frequently get packages next day or two day. I'm guessing the difference is down to distribution centers.
I'm in the US and this option is off for me. As the page loads now, it is very clear in what they are wanting to do with this setting. I don't ever remember reading this page, but had I read this there's no way I would ever turn it on or if it was on by default I would definitely turn it off. So I just have "no recollection Senator" of if I did turned it of myself or its default behavior is to be off. So just anecdotal stories from some rando on the interwebs.
Increasingly I get the impression that those groups have long held such cynicisms (find an endless stream #genz #wfh on Tiktok), and it's the much older 30 and 40-somethings that are trumpeting the corporate kum ba yah.
> shutting down all hardware

While there are no doubt jurisdictional variances, unions are typically absolved of responsibility to incidental damage to company property, but purposefully damaging company property is unlikely to stand up. If the machines start to fail without oversight that's one thing, but purposefully shutting them down conveys an explicit intent.

> Most likely, the police would be used against them

No doubt. Such malice is most likely illegal. If the police aren't going to step in when someone is breaking the law, what purpose do they serve?

> society would collapse in days or hours.

You'd really better have your ducks in a row if you're going to cause society to collapse. That's going to require an incredible amount of money upfront. After society has collapsed it will be too late to prepare. So once again, you can't reasonably do this unless you're already rich.

> much of Europe is already unionized

Colour me skeptical. Canada is claimed to be the 6th most unionized country in the world and only ~25% of its workforce is unionized. There are 44 countries in Europe, according to the UN. This suggests that very few workers in Europe are in unions. Maybe I misinterpret what you are trying to say?

> My point is that the labor market conflicts can ALSO cause inflation.

Inflation can only occur if a currency loses value. What mechanism of labour conflict causes a currency to lose value (or lose more value than it would have otherwise)? If anything, I would expect currency to become more valuable as it becomes harder to attain during labour withdrawals.

The labour of industrialization doesn't go back that far in time so we don't have an incredible amount of data to look at, but from what data we do have it would appear that high inflation always precedes union growth. Which, again, seems expected as workers become stronger during the beginnings of high inflation due to the reasons explained above.

Where do we find counterexamples?

I’ve been making playlist for years, and I’ve noticed Spotify mangle songs on some of the older ones. Like one of my earliest playlist now contains a few tracks of super obscure jazz from the 40s that I’m pretty sure I never added. What they replaced I’ll never know.

I still don't understand why they axed Alexa. It doesn't make any sense to me in the context of the rest of their business.
It's not, GP is wrong and making a deceptive argument.

The energy grid is already lower carbon than gasoline powered ICE vehicles, especially with natural gas taking over a lot of the energy production. But it's only going to get even better as more and more renewables come online.

It's easier for your giant utility company to have the capital to build out a solar farm to power your car/house/etc than it is for you and I to have the capital to build personal solar production to do the same thing. Even more so, some things only make sense at scale, like large scale wind energy. Placing a giant turbine in my backyard, even if the HOA and city allowed it, would work for me, but not my neighbor, and if they built one too we'd be competing with each other. Better to do it on farms leased or ran by utilities.

Besides, how is the renter going to de carbonize their electric car unless the grid does it?
