Prime shipping for me is now a week or two! It's not uncommon to wait 12 days for an order that's Prime from the Amazon warehouse to arrive at my house, and I don't exactly live in a super rural area. It's ludicrous IMHO to pay for prime now when we barely use prime video and super saver shipping wouldn't take much longer than prime.
You’re describing the effects of familiarity with a subject.

Stable Diffusion / Midjourney etc look really pretty to the average person but on closer inspection they rarely hold up out of the box. If you’re an experienced artist you pick up on all the flaws right away.

ChatGPT and Copilot are similar. The answers seem confident , but the more familiar you are with the domain of the answer, the quicker it becomes to see how flawed the results are.

Now going back to TTS. You’ve spent your whole life knowing what speech sounds like. Unlike those other models that require an extra level of domain knowledge, everyone innately knows the sound of humans speaking. So you’re effectively, and subconsciously, a domain expert.

This is essentially the uncanny valley effect but for other areas.
There can be something in the middle between prohibition and teenagers accessing extreme porn with a few clicks.

When I was a kid I didn't have access to extreme porn. Porn magazines/VHS tapes weren't as extreme as modern porn sites.

Yes, there is one per core cluster. The title is a bit misleading, because it suggests that going to two or three cores will scale linearly, though it won't be much faster. See here for sgemm benchmarks for everything from the M1 to M1 Ultra and 1 to 16 threads:

This appears to be true for now unless you're syncing Lightroom Classic with Adobe Cloud. But I think it's safe to say that Adobe would not have a problem farming your local catalogs for images in the future without warning.

Ah I get you. Yeah, VR headsets probably don't replicate the experience of going to a movie theater but they might replicate the experience of having your own movie theater, which for many people (me included) is preferable.

Current VR headsets are way more immersive than holding a smartphone in front of your face and I would imagine that a $3k headset from Apple would be better still.

> 'Society' isn't a homogeneous thing.

That's probably part of the problem. Subcultures are great, but they aren't the dominant culture. If you get too many subcultures, you start to dilute/fracture your primary culture. The center cannot hold. That's what we're going through now. Alternately, if a single subculture gets too large it simply takes over, that or as you said, we simply get conquered by an outside culture.

The primary culture is the big rules that we mostly agree to conform to (if not all of them, certainly the parts necessary to survive). I pay my bills on time, etc. Heck there are some of us now arguing we shouldn't pay our mortgages, that'd show those fat cats on Wall Street, etc.

So this is the problem: Our culture is fracturing. We can't even agree (if you believe what you see in the media) as to how to get along anymore.

The fall of empires is basically a long unchecked decline into cultural irrelevance, followed by some final economic/political collapse or territorial take-over.

Go to any third world country, the cultures are mostly brutal. People taking advantage of each other. (I'm sure someone will argue it's somehow the West's fault these countries stink, same people that argue it's the West's fault Russians are killing Ukrainians, but I digress). There's a reason the 419 scams are coming from poor places. These are desperate people that have no problem treating strangers badly. Try living in that culture. No one cares. It's everyone for themselves. This is what cultural irrelevance looks like.

Young men checking out isn't a problem, it's a symptom of the problem. People are checking out and going their own way. And if you buy into the philosophy of extreme individualism, isn't this a victory? If we can accommodate a person demanding to be referred to as xie/yo/ze/ve, can't we accommodate those of us who simply don't want to show up to the party anymore?

If people have a problem with men checking out, that's their problem. It seems to me the men checking out are enjoying themselves. When in Rome, right?

Or maybe it's time to start pulling men back into the national discussion, adding their perspective into the dialog about what a "fair" and "just" society should look like. You know, don't we want a real diversity of viewpoints? Or are these men part of the "intolerable" that the left argues it's ok to not tolerate?

If you're not willing to engage them, then at least leave them alone in their basements to play their games. They're not bothering anybody.
Tesla is not the only fast charging network though. In Switzerland for example there are many (Move, GoFast, Ionity, etc.) and some are even cheaper than Tesla.
Seems to be a market difference? Of the three cheapest cars I could think of in my local market (Honda Civic, Kia Picanto, and Nissan Micra), only the Honda Civic has a digital speedometer.
This is the wrong way to limit porn to adults. For ages there has been a single line HTTP header that can be added to a site or even to the meta-data in HTML itself to identify adult content. A law could require all user-content sites to implement the header and require all browser apps, operating systems, mobile devices to make a best-effort attempt and requiring a parental control system that approve-lists domains that have the adult content header.

A panel of the best UX designers in the industry could draft the RFC for device/browser updates and the law could reference the RFC. A panel of parents could test the beta versions. This way people can't really say "Its too technically hard to enable parental controls". This could even become part of the device setup such as buying a new phone and going through the setup menu. "Enable parental controls? Y/n" If "Yes" then the setup guides the parent through creating accounts for kids and lets them choose whether or not to allow user-generated/adult content per account.

In NGinx it looks like this:

location / { add_header Rating 'RTA-5042-1996-1400-1577-RTA'; }

In HAProxy it looks like this:

http-response set-header Rating "RTA-5042-1996-1400-1577-RTA"

I do not know how to add this to Envoy or Caddy.

This puts the control and liability of the approval on the parent and they don't even need to be technically savvy at all. This also puts the liability to self-label a site on the site owner/administrator and they can each have instructions in a standard location on the site how to enable parental controls in apps/devices after such a law requires devices to have this functionality created in a standard and simple way that just looks for the header. Despite being meant for adult content there is nothing stopping this from being used for user-generated content domains. The end goal would simply be to provide a method of parental controls per domain or globally.

Most important, this method provides zero tracking of who is into what and does not leak financial or PII data.

How to enforce this? Crawlers find user generated site, people submit user generated sites. No header? 3 attempts are made to contact the domains admin/technical contact. 4th attempt domain(s) are seized. Domain outside of the U.S. and that government will not cooperate? Sanctions. It's a big hammer but it works.

Could a determined teen get around this? Sure, the same teen that would use a parents credit card or the card of a stranger. In my proposed method credit card fraud is taken out of the picture and people do not have to leak real names.
The reason I don't like "consume less" is that it only works for people who already live in excess, i.e. rich westerners. Telling the several billion people who don't to "consume less" just seems really shitty.

I think there's a level of consumption (be it energy or otherwise) where you're just being a mindless consumer and playing status games, and I personally am not interested in that. That's why I find it practical and ethical to limit my own consumption not in extreme ways, but also not to squander.

But telling that to somebody who barely has access to electricity or can't afford a car to improve his economic opportunity to provide for his family...
To understand the fundamental problem with this paper and the "CD" measure of "disruptiveness", one need only look at Figure 1a, where three Nobel Prize winning papers and three patents are ranked on the "CD5" scale. Apparently, there are more disruptive discoveries than Watson and Crick's discovery of the double-stranded structure of DNA (CD5 0.62 on a scale of -1.0 to 1.0), and Baltimore's discovery of reverse transcription is -0.55. One might argue the ranks of these two discoveries should be reversed, since DNA had already been shown to be the genetic material, but no one imagined that RNA could be converted to DNA. Likewise, the Wigler patent for transformation into eukaryotic cells (CD5=0.70) has certainly has had less effect on the world economy than Monsanto's patent on glyphosphate resistant plants (CD= -0.85).

It's easy to make up a measure and then develop a story that explains why that measure is useful. Was Newton's theory of gravity disruptive, or consolidating. I'm thinking consolidating, since it allowed a lot of other things to make sense. Likewise, perhaps quantum mechanics was disruptive -- it sounds disruptive -- but it also consolidated a lot of confusing observations.

(And lets not even mention the problem that when there are 1,000-times as many papers between 1940 and 2010, we might not expect 1,000-times as many disruptions.)

This paper has a measure that sounds useful, and is certainly good for headlines, but it is very unclear that it provides any insight into the progress of science.
> economic system starts to resemble feudalism.

I've long been a proponent that capitalism is not just about the economy but is instead a larger force more akin to feudalism.
Government intervention is heavy handed and will cause unintended side affects with 100% certainty.

What should happen is for:
1) employees to choose to not join companies with contracts that they don't agree with
2) employers offer better incentive to not leave for roles at risk to poaching e.g. RSUs.

A natural market response to bad company policy is always preferred to government mandates.

...

> "Twitter, Inc. has not obtained permission for you to use subscriber information for any purpose."

Twitter thinks it has permission to provide account owners with their subscriber lists but explicitly says that those same account owners have no permissions of their own for the data.

I do not think this is how how most countries' data privacy laws work.

This is a very murky situation and Twitter seem to be writing it all off with a wink and a nod.

> Final assembly, fit and finish - those are very important things on high end cars - and as Tesla demonstrated - not that easy to do even when you're flush with cash

Is it that hard though? The initial build problems came from ignoring industry experience about trying to automate final assembly — a step that very manufacture had tried and failed to do before.

No shame in trying it, maybe industrial robotic control have improved since then, but you usually don’t test such a thing in your assembly lines.

After Tesla ripped out the robots, I don’t know what their problem was beyond poor training and line management. Putting doors on straight — let alone with matching colors — for over a hundred years.

If it’s really hard to physically build a car, we’d see similar massive faults from Rivian and Lucid, but I’m unaware of any.
Piracy always seems kinda stupid to me. If you don't want to put in the effort to get some content legit, just don't consume it. If you do want to consume some content, then put in the effort to do it legitimately.

Like if Spotify is too much of a bother, just don't listen to it. Go to Bandcamp or 7Digital or whatever and buy whatever you're into. "Oh, but they don't have this one album I want," is crap. If you really wanted it you'd jump through the hoops. Wanting it badly enough that you can't settle for anything else but not so bad that you don't want to put in the effort is just you making excuses.
This famously happened to Daria. I'm not sure if a version with the original soundtrack even exists anymore.
Well; except for the fact that the 1.5TFLOP quoted in the article is because of the AMX part. The actually useful throughput of the big-core is probably more like 35GFLOP peak. This compares to the 1–2TFLOP throughput of the GPU. The CPU is easily going to be 50–100x slower than the GPU.

If you're talking full-screen Angry Birds with, say, a 2x average compositing, you're going to be fine on the CPU; but, energy- and jitter- wise you'll still be happier with the GPU, overall.

My recollection of those cases is that those who believed mass transit was a boondoggle that no one uses were using the imminence of self-driving cars to argue against mass transit projects that they already opposed.
It remains surprising to see such private and valuable codebases hosted in the cloud in an external parties service.

The cloud remains someone else’s shared computer.
> Not everybody wants a self-driving car just like not everybody wants a big mac.

I don't think this will work, because self-driving cars will reveal drivers for what they are: impatient, reckless, anti-social maniacs. People want to speed, to swerve into the bike or parking lane to overtake a left-hand turner, to inch out into traffic to force themselves into a lane, to tailgate, etc, etc. You can't really have a system where x% of the cars are calmly and mechanically following the rules and manually-operated vehicles are taking advantage of that.
I love how this is a thing(on another site) and that this topic illuminated it for me.

They also have by far the best charging network

This isn't a defensible position though for Tesla. New charging networks are coming online at a furious rate. I'm not sure maintaining their own network makes sense unless everything becomes compatible and they use it as an additional revenue stream. But for them to compete when every other auto manufacturer is subsidizing shared networks is risky.
> mostly i've seen music replaced with cheaper licensed music

Which completely changes the vibe of some shows. Daria needs the 90s music, I'm sorry.
I think the same processes that turn nimble and innovative startups into large and heavy enterprises apply to countries and institutions as well. As academia and research institutions develop, they become more complex, valuing process over result and consensus over conflict. Increasingly, disruption of consensus is perceived as disruption of the institution itself and risk-aversion and incrementalism are rewarded.

I hate to be a doomsayer, but this seems to be a general trajectory that most of the western world is on.

During that time the tech moved so fast it was worthless to try to upgrade existing hardware. By the time you wanted to upgrade almost everything had changed. New CPU socket, new memory, new/faster peripheral bus, etc.

About all you could keep between builds was the case, the monitor, the keyboard/mouse and maybe the power supply and soundcard.

It was almost always more cost effective to buy a new, much larger drive…
I don't know who actually believed it, or if it had any real impact on investors, but it seemed to be a common comment on self driving threads on HN ~5 years ago that instead of ownership, there would just be idle fleets of cars that you would summon from, and you'd simply subscribe to a vehicle service as a monthly cost.

The context missed by the article is that Iranian drones are crude, low-tech, and cheap by most military standards, hence, made with only the cheapest and most widely available parts.

The article below estimates the Shahed-136 at $20,000. The Mohajer-6 probably isn't that much more.

https://www.timesofisrael.com/the-iranian-made-killer-drones...

But that's the economic-warfare genius of cheap drones: it [might] cost as much $500,000 to shoot down a $20,000 drone.

The new part here is creating two entangled light beams at wavelengths suitable for interacting with trapped atoms.

The general technique of creating entangled beams via OPO has been used for years at other wavelengths, and the resulting beams have been used for quantum optics experiments (including some rather spectacular ones).

What is new here is that by using light at wavelengths that can interact with trapped atoms, there is a possibility to use such atoms as quantum memory.

My experience is that the learning curve for piracy has increased quite a bit. IIUC you need some private tracker to reliably source things, something that takes time and connections most people don't have.

Despite being strongly motivated to find and watch things that are inexplicably unavailable to me (especially new foreign cinema) I usually just wait, and then sign up for a trial of whatever service has it a year or more after I read the review.
Hype is not a crime. It enabled Tesla to access cheap capital. But Tesla went too far and starting collecting money for something that won't work anytime soon and possibly not within the lifespan of Teslas on the road now.

The promise was "buy this car and soon it will self-drive" (and for Uber it was "Never mind we don't have a sustainable business model now, we will soon with self-driving").

Transforming oil into petroleum also involves a lot of productive work and it doesn’t go unrewarded and in fact has to be taxed appropriately.

But generally in the case I described (topics in which just a few authors did most of the original work) I am not seeing any fundamental benefit if you compare this to a really good search engine—and such a search engine would benefit open information sharing, as it doesn’t do IP laundering.
There are a bunch of easy ways to scale neural nets. Quantization and distillation being the main approaches (or some combination of the two). Both typically require more training time, but not much more human-effort.

You can normally expect to get way more than half the 'outcome' from a neural net with half the ram/compute/time/power budget. So neural nets scale 'down' pretty well.
Or, they are forgeries from beginning to end. The honest ones, e.g. Paul, admit it right there in the text. (Transcribing "visions".)

The problem is that if renewables can't always provide 100%, then we need to keep the same capacity around in either base load (nuclear) or something that can spin up quickly (natgas). So the marginal price of energy is still that of natgas.

Plus, if we all have excess energy, it's actually extremely costly to get it out or you'll blow your grid up. So while "in excess of 100%" sounds cool, it's actually very dangerous.
Ok, so the average has declined - has the raw # of disruptive studies increased? The definition of 'disruptive' here is based on the ratio of citations of [study] vs citations of [study's references]. If the number of papers increases, do we want a proportional increase in studies that "send a field in a new direction?" Or do we want incremental studies to be improving rigor, comprehensiveness, and clarity?

IMO, it'd be much better to look at the Avg. CD of the top N% of CD scores over time - that'd give me a much better idea of if disruptiveness is changing, as disruptiveness is a "best paper" phenomenon anyway.
