Modern batteries often last longer than the owner wants to keep the car. The direct equivalent in an ICE car is the engine and transmission, in both cost and complexity. Modern EVs also have a range of 300 miles or more, and few people drive that far on the freeway without stopping for refueling, be it gas or electrons.

It is true that EVs aren't great for every All American Roadtrip (a tradition I love and believe in), but they will be a big cost savings for the vast majority of Americans who drive every day to and from work, shopping centers, schools, and parks.

Careful, if you use that at amazon, it's also completely trivial for amazon to notice and package you up as "@example.com" and flag "@example.com" on a central watchlist so others do the same.

I've also done contract testing and integrity tests are different, I'm doing a bad job of trying to describe them. I would say that Contract tests could be considered a subset of integrity testing. I think the difference could be that contract tests (as I've used them) generate unit tests for each side. Integrity tests may treat the pair as a unit and test them, to ensure their combined implementation behaves well.

Note that “high-level math” by your definition covers things that were basically understood by 1900 (a good part even by 1850) and polished by 1940. It’s an incredible failure of the education system that any of this still counts as “advanced” in any way in 2023[1].

> polyglot is better, and leads to dominance

I'd argue polyglot is only better when alternaives offer benifits. Like polyglot cloud providers you can mix prices, polyglot program runtimes you get multi-OS support, polyglot ORM you can migrate to new DB with shiny features.

What do you gain by polyglot ML models out of Python?

To my limited knowledge, the sales folks for Oral-B visit the dentists who get them onboard with recommending it to patients. It would be a tall order and slow process for a competitor to make meaningful inroads within the UK, but one I wish someone would take on.

Very frustrating, especially considering that the amount spent doesn't seem to buy a better product, just added gimmicks on top of the same disappointing base experience.

Furthermore, I went through quite literally half a dozen Sonicare Airfloss with pump failures, eventually landed on a water flossing device with an enormous handle from Amazon, at least the pumps don't die now, but new problem of developing leaks after half a year. There's no winning.
It's amazing to me how much stuff people return. I have seen people buy a ton of stuff and return half of it on a regular basis. I guess it's a time filler for you/them. I don't run a store, so it doesn't affect me, but just seems like a huge waste of time.
None of these require arbitrary amounts of repeated addition though. E.g. multiplying two 8 bit numbers requires at most 7 additions.

A couple questions:

1. How much of this outcome is due to the unusual (pseudo) periodic activation function? Seems like a lot of the DAC-like behavior is coming from the periodicity of the first layer’s output, which seems to be due to the unique activation function.

2. Would the behavior of the network change if the binary strings were encoded differently? The author encodes them as 1D arrays with 1 corresponding to 1 and 0 corresponding to -1, which is an unusual way of doing things. What if the author encoded them as literal binary arrays (i.e. 1->1, 0->0)? What about one-hot arrays (i.e. 2D arrays with 1->[1, 0] and 0->[0, 1]), which is the most common way to encode categorical data?

This happens in new or recently built condo buildings because they are aggressively marketing to potential buyers. The buildings are, often, cheaply made, go overboard on costly amenities, and made to maximize ROI for the builders/developers. They lure in buyers with low fees. Then, once the building is full, the buyers and the condo board discover that the quality of a lot of the materials and building is subpar, the amenities now need expensive repairs, or a lot of the building's charm is a bandaid to cover clear cost cutting. To fix all of these issues, the condo boards, usually made up of residents in the building, vote and raise fees in order to repair or correct these issues. This practice can make the cost of owning a condo sky-rocket in a very short time.

There is also the nightmare of insurance problems for a building.

The recommended move, in NA at least, is to look for older buildings with less amenities and a history of consistent condo fees that they will gladly give to you in a report if requested, which allows the potential buyer to get a clearer idea of the potential cost of owning a condo over time.

This is a straw man. I still don’t hear anyone serious saying humanity will pick up and move to Mars or anywhere else. They say a very small number of humans (relative to the billions of us) may try to go to the Moon or Mars. That is conceivable.

Sure, but it makes the point that just because people claim some measure is for the collective good, doesn't mean we should just take that at face value. Power is easily abused and we should be demanding more transparency and accountability from people who want to impose onerous top-down restrictions for speculative reasons. Instead, we get legions of people shouting down and vilifying those who are expecting more.

> Both events occurred on mechanical floors that have been criticized for being excessively tall — a design feature that allowed the developers to build higher than would otherwise have been permitted, because mechanical floors do not count against the building’s allowable size.

I've never heard of an allowable size expressed in terms of number of non-mechanical floors. That sounds rather ill-conceived. Why would you have limits beyond a plain maximum height ?

Computers keep getting newer and better features. Cloud software is in my experience leaps and bounds faster than legacy software, AI features have helped substantially and judging by ChatGPT will go on to help way more, videoconferencing has grown from a novelty to being able to handle people’s entire working lives (poorly, but better then not at all).

I got one specifically because I love the offline nature of the device. I don't use streaming, and I don't want ads or my device going out to the internet and giving 3rd parties a list of what I listen to and when either.

I also like the idea of a device that does one thing but does it well, unlike a cell phone that tries to be everything for everyone. With a dedicated music player there's no distraction. No notifications, no texts, no calls, no games, no internet. A good music player does everything you need but stays out of your way. A cell phone is designed to demand your attention as often as possible and hold onto it for as long as possible.

This is just absurd :-)))) Do you think Nike's ad money are funneled through PRISM?
Digital is technologically superior in every way, but dismissing vinyl as a gimmick seems unnecessarily judgemental and unkind. People enjoy different things, and there's no reason to be shitty about it.

Part of why I enjoy vinyl records is the act of restoring, optimizing, and otherwise fiddling with old turntables. I find interacting with the physical machines enjoyable, and it's neat to hear the results.

You aren't the arbiter of what other people enjoy, and it's weird to try and police the "correct" way to do something subjective like listening to music.
They wanted to make sure every third party product could handle long paths and spaces in paths, otherwise it would have been C:\Users.
On the other hand, I've received items from Amazon before that were clearly previously opened and returned, sometimes with missing pieces, once the item was clearly defective. Due to this subpar experience I no longer order anything from Amazon since, personally, I'd rather not spend my time returning things and their slipshod policy almost guarantees I will have to.

The thing is, almost every digital format will have better stereo separation than Vinyl will (and by extension a larger soundfield).

The shallower dynamic range of vinyl means you must mix much more conservatively, you cant make as loud, you cant transition from quiet to loud as quickly, your high and low levels must be closer together.

Those limitations however, perhaps surprisingly, can actually can make for a better sounding mix.

However a lossless digital format will always exceed vinyl in every technical characteristic, however because of quantization it may not sound quite as good, particularly if the entire recording chain was analog.

That all said, an mix intended for vinyl may indeed sound better than one intended for digital, because the inherent limits of vinyl produce mixes that sound more 'natural' to people, albeit one that is not strictly transparent.
I was once a building engineer in a building of only 42 floors. When there was a wind storm the building swayed quite a bit. It groaned and chandeliers tinkled. On first opening there were the usual plumbing and cosmetic problems, which were repaired in a reasonable time frame.

If these new owners say they didn't know there would be these "problems", they are either misinformed or trying to get their money back. ALL tall, thin building have to sway to survive.

> Nothing actually works on non-NVidia hardware. "Actually works" is different from "theoretically works." A lot of what I use theoretically supports ROCm, but in practice, when you try to use it, you have enough bugs big and small, and things crash or don't work right.

I was surprised when I started playing around with Stable Diffusion a couple of weeks ago and it just kind of worked with ROCm. That being said, I did run into a couple of very annoying issues... almost running out of VRAM seems to trigger GPU timeouts but as far as I can tell the GPU itself is fine and the memory allocation crawled to a halt. This also seems to be much more likely when running at half precision, which is a shame given that the relatively large 16GB VRAM effectively gets cut in half when running at full precision...

But this is already a big improvement over "ROCm doesn't support RDNA2" [0] which was still the case ~1.5 years ago. I just really hope that AMD keeps up the effort and fixes all the small and big issues that are still around...

there is a possibility this $800 sale was for fewer than a dozen items. Maybe even fewer than 5 items.

A small number of items doesn’t excuse the unethical behavior of a buyer using a small business’s inventory as stage props, though it does put said behavior in perspective, so to speak.

All the more reason they will oppose this: if state salaries go up, they'll have to match it in private schools so BOTH their taxes AND their fees will go up.

This is the sad truth of much state provision: If you do care, you go private. If you don't care, you don't care. It's only people who do care about education AND cannot afford to go private who gain from this. So a minority and a badly funded one.
