Reading that article, I see lots of things which do not sound like “this worked once on a single known course”. They’re taking orders, talking about unattended cross country trips, and claiming the driver is only there for legal reasons — all of which makes it sound a lot more mature than it is.
Do you want to explore the world of art, or do you want to _make_ art? Or both?

In art school, I studied art history and the philosophy of art. In addition, I took practical classes on:

* Sculpture

* Life drawing

* Painting

* Forging

* Ceramics

* Digital animation

* Film

* Photography

If you want to get started appreciating art, get a short book on art history with lots of pictures and less text from the library.

Then, if you want to also get started making art, see if your local community college or art collective has public art classes. Life drawing, in particular, is important if you want to develop art skill broadly. Otherwise just dabble and see what feels fun and interesting.
It’s all about handling state in a careful manner.

A helpful consequence of immutability is that it makes concurrent and parallel programming easier. Take Erlang/Elixir. The main reason it’s able to share state between processes so easily is because it completely copies values from one process into another’s mailbox. Compiler guarantees you don’t pass a reference. If it were the same memory, two processes could mutate and unwittingly break one another.

Another helpful aspect are the patterns of code you end up writing. It’s common in Node and C#, even Go, to pass a mutable context or stateful object with a bunch of hands reaching in to read and write. Because you can naturally do this, you naturally also tend to program like this. Cue data access issues again.

But if you guarantee immutability at the runtime level, it changes how you write code. You tend to write functions in a “transformer” / pipeline style. there’re great examples of open source codebases to read from that exhibit this. See a typical F#, Haskell, and presumably Scala web api codebase, and see how they handle state.

Sometimes you'll see British news discuss "constitutional" issues in politics. Since they don't have a written constitution, this is clearly cope, like when they pretend the food comes in colors other than brown.

Although some of it is written down; specifically it's written in an anonymous letter to the Times.

I've posted this here before, but I've figured out a way that makes an iPhone work as a semi-smart phone for me.

I delete all app that I waste time in, but keep one that are useful. (I won't blow two hours scrolling Lyft, and it's very helpful sometimes) I then set screentime permissions to block websites I don't want to use (like reddit), and prevent app downloads. I set a screentime password and give it to my partner.

This way I get all the "benefits" of a smartphone with none of the scrolling and time wasting. It's also very easy to switch it back to a full smartphone, get the password from my partner and turn off screentime. I'll do this when I travel internationally for work.

Hope this setup helps some others.
Do you you want to make art yourself, or experience art that's been made?

I have an art degree but I've learned more on my own than I ever learned in school. Youtube is a good resource if you want to get hands on. The "PaintCoach" channel is pretty fantastic if you want to give oil painting a shot. His videos break down the process from absolute basics and a minimum of materials are required. I'm not associated with this channel in any way.

Ah, maybe the physical build is a large component. If I were big and intimidating, I definitely would be more open to picking up hitchhikers.

(assuming you're American; I am) I wonder if Europeans feel more at-ease about hitchhikers, or if there are any safety statistics.
There's a massive difference. A hamburger costs $5, tops. FSD costs thousands. Not only that, but at one point Musk promised that FSD was so advanced it would make you money[1] by driving your car for Uber when you're not using it. That's almost like if McDonalds claimed its hamburgers would cure your cancer.

For me, it comes down to the fact that static typing completely eliminates large classes of bugs. It therefore dramatically lowers the testing load. The compile step essentially performs its own tests. Think about all the test cases I save myself from having to write...

Beyond that, it also forces me to think structurally from the start. But I tend to be working on rather complex applications, I almost certainly wouldn't use a static lang for data processing or similar tasks.

> It feels a lot like the people who used to try to convince everyone functional programming was the only way to go and object-oriented programming was for dinosaurs.

What do you mean "used to"?? Haha
If you want a world where the people in control of a machine aren't the people who built it, you want a non-capitalist world. It's that simple. ChatGPT can do whatever the hell they like for the businesses that are using that model, who probably don't want their tech support robot to go on political rants. Remember that the only people who will be paying money for this system will be rich companies and brands trying to replace or augment human workers who literally have a script. These companies don't want a hard AI system, which can create reasonable opinions about current events, they want a slightly more flexible and robust script repeating system.
That's potentially a good thing in the long run. People can do either higher-skill work and/or we'll reorganize society to account for less people working.
You’d think there would be plenty of pretty young Russian and Chinese women looking to meet handsome American nuclear scientists.
The price difference between the US/Europe is mostly due to taxes. US prices don't have taxes included, European prices do.
Milton, ex-CEO of Nikola, also technically didn't lie about their truck demo (it was rolled down the hill, and said it was "in motion").

The UK is particularly bad at this. All recent PMs have studied
Philosophy, Politics and Economics at the University of Oxford. At least Germany had a chancellor who studies physics (Angela Merkel).
I thought killing MagSafe was pretty dumb, too, but every time I tripped over the USB-C power cable on my 2018 MBP it came right out, no problem. Plus it's really nice to be able to move the power cable to whichever side the outlet is close to. When I upgrade, I think I'd choose to continue using USB-C power if possible.

I'll actually miss the Touch Bar. It's an interesting idea that seems useful, but isn't, except in one very useful case: it's really nice being able to slide the volume to exactly where I want it. With the keys back I'll have to memorize Shift+Option+VolumeUp (or whatever it is).
>If the threat model is to protect against an overt military invasion by the US, geographical features aren't going to matter much either.

The US made the mistake of thinking that geographical features didn't pose them a problem in Afghanistan.

Then they realized how incredibly frail their supply chains could be when geography wasnt in their favor.

That mistake cost trillions.

>But regardless, the countries the US has invaded still have intact borders!

This is the most absurd excuse for American imperialism I think I've ever heard.

>Then he throws out the justification that other countries might engage in the same, even though nobody has.

So, Libya happened. America wants Russia to end up like Libya. Russia doesnt want to end up like Libya, so they invaded Ukraine.

>That is what is grossly unacceptable, and needs to be stamped down hard if we want our era of relative peace to continue.

I mean, if you excuse the wanton destruction of Libya by saying "hey at its a failed state but it has intact borders!" then you were basically begging for Ukraine to be invaded.

While it may not provide parallel map out of the box it will help to implement it a little bit easier than using nodes api.
Oh, I missed that! and then it has one usb port, or two? If it has two plus magsafe and i had noticed, i might have bought that!
> Ok, and when they want to expand to Knoxville, TN, they'll have a couple people take X months to map it

No they won’t. That’s the entire point. It doesn’t scale from a cost perspective. The entire thing is funded by their search ads monopoly right now. They can’t pull in the revenue they need to maintain the map from ride fares alone.

> Mapping is probably the closest thing to a solved problem in autonomous driving.

LOL! Not even close to true. “We can do it” != “we can do it without burning billions of dollars per year”

> so it's not like investors are deceived

Investors (and consumers) are absolutely deceived. I don’t really care: being a VC is risky. But these types of videos are intentionally deceiving. Only the best of many runs is shown. Editing is often used. The routes have HD mapping that won’t be collected universally (due to cost problems). How is that not deception in your mind?
Here in Austria we have 20% VAT, and US prices are typically without tax. So the 25% price difference is really just a 5% price difference, which is still shitty, but not as horrendous as you make it seem.

Also, the Mac mini is very special:

- tiny footprint without external power brick

- very high reliability

- completely inaudible for typical developer usage

- extremely low power usage (the 6 core Intel Mac mini was an exception)

It's the perfect home (or office) server. You can put it into a bookshelf or in a cabinet, it won't run hot, it won't disturb you with noise in the living room.... I just don't know of anything else that fits the bill.

The only shitty thing is that they are charging ridiculous prices for storage, and attaching external storage sucks because it ruins the tiny form factor, and also because the USB-C cables that come with SSD drives tend to easily disconnect in my experience.
From my (albeit limited understanding) the damage from alcohol primarily lies in the 'backup' metabolic pathways getting used when the liver is saturated and cannot keep up with the primary pathway. The backup metabolic pathways produce acutely toxic byproducts - acetaldehyde most significantly - which are significantly more harmful than ethanol itself.

Some people may generate significant amounts of acetaldehyde from a single drink, but I don't think that's the case for the majority of healthy people.
I created a system that booted 12k+ diskless blades via PXE and running Ubuntu (it was built to scale to 30k+, but we never got there).

This generally works well, but I'd say there are about 0-20 blades that crash a day due to some sort of memory corruption issues.

Due to the fact that I was operating remotely from the hardware, I never really got a chance to resolve it... also... just a simple reboot would fix it (and the blades booted in ~60 seconds, so it wasn't a huge issue).

So, on large enough scale... this can be an issue to consider.
Nonetheless, there is no claim that any current product does this, just discussion of potential future features.
I guess my main point is that, if we're going to move to displayport over USB-C, we (A) need Apple to put out official $100 cables, since I tried some cheap Amazon cables that didn't work and had to purchase some $60 moshi cables that I knew would work[0], and (B) they need a minimum of 5 ports since being limited to 1 peripheral port+3 monitors (2 over DP, one HDMI) on the mini is terrible. I know they want your mouse and keyboard to be bluetooth but no thank you.

> Here's an example of living with the light phone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7G1pWYVtBg

That's expensive for a phone with basically zero features...

Why not just buy a nokia 3310 (the new one) for around 60eur, where you get a better, faster phone, with basically the same limitations as any other of the dumbphones, but it's cheaper and works faster and has a better screen? Also, the ergonomics are better, dual sim, sd card slot for music... and again, no apps, no emails, no notifications.. just a phone as it used to be (well.. with music and bluetooth).
Now the real question will be: Will we see a leap as we did in language models if we just wait for the computing capacity to grow enough?
I am assuming by "art" you mean visual art.

Proper art curation is like writing a good research paper, except everything is in space instead of on paper. If you enjoy reading / writing research papers, then most likely you will enjoy well-curated exhibitions as well.

Of course, good exhibitions are not everywhere, but are limited to a handful of big cities. As the saying goes, where there is money there is art. You will have to come to these places and see.
That point stands. Without speaking to her qualifications, being his wife poses a conflict of interest. She is his Wife before she is his Editor.

I hear this every time. It doesn't effing matter if i don't have the option to buy a 1960s size house, let alone the newer larger home, die to price increases and high interest rates.

Your analysis does not explain away decades of mediocre wage growth in the face of inflation in healthcare, education and housing costs.
Just imagine what you could do if you could just open the boot and swap out a few 10kg batteries at the fuel station. You'd still have 30KWh hidden around the chassis, but most people don't need >100mile range every day.
The AMD laptops don't need to be in the G series to have an iGPU - they all do. The G series only exists for desktops.

> Albeit, this is down to Software, but more software for Mac can assume shared memory to take advantage of it, versus other brands because iGPUs have historically been very limited.

AFAIK there is no such software that only supports Macs. You can query these features at runtime, and it's easier to do so than to rewrite your renderer for Metal.
How about you select a representative (i.e. random and statistically significant) sample of the population and then ask them their opinions about certain (especially controversial) parts of your data, and then weigh your data according to these opinions?

That's just an idea that occurred to me (in 30 seconds of thought) which could probably make the training data significantly more unbiased.

But I'm sure there are research scientists who can come up with better methods for sampling data in a more unbiased fashion.

Note that this is not an all or nothing approach. Your training data could presumably be 100% biased or 0% biased, but also any value in-between.

The goal is to try to make it as close to 0% biased as feasible, given whatever effort you're comfortable expending.
Oh, please don't let anyone at Apple hear you complain about "thicker". I'm still not back to trusting them after years of downgrades pretending to be upgrades: "We've made the thinnest, best-looking Mac ever while removing less functionality than we've removed in most previous upgrades!"
One way to appreciate art is to try to make it yourself.

This book is an excellent way to try: https://archive.org/details/Keys_to_Drawing/mode/2up

Another popular book is "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain".
But the way the system works, if I start a company I can inject political bias into the products of my companies. Nobody bats an eye that the company making trump hats doesn't make biden hats.

ChatGPT isn't a government organization, or any other "public good" organization, it is a business developing a product to sell. None of their potential customers want a chat bot that can be goaded into random conversations like this. I would expect the "Trump corruption" example you saw to eventually be neutered too.
my point is that AI shouldn't be treated as gospel. it's not truth. it's a simulacrum of truth built by people. it looks like it has guardrails over hot topics like drag queen story time but not more complicated topics like the nature of sex/gender identity. congratulations on testing the boundaries i guess?
> I believe he has said something similar to "without Autopilot Tesla is worthless" or some sort of dramatic statement like this

Musk said, "The overwhelming focus is on solving full self-driving. That’s essential. It’s really the difference between Tesla being worth a lot of money or worth basically zero":

When I work in Django, instead of other frameworks I use, I think "I like this more, I like this less; this works better for me in these circumstances, this does not." But I've never felt it made any sense at all to pronounce one as objectively better than another.

In most cases, it is a matter of taste and tradeoffs that vary based upon circumstance.

You can keep saying "this is the correct way" with all the conviction in the world, but it won't turn matters of opinion and circumstance into universal fact.
> Linux (probably the operating system you mean) performs terribly when there is no available memory.

I assumed you were talking about system with low amounts of memory rather than well almost all available memory is already used. You might be right about the second case (of course why would anyone have a new Linux PC with just 8GB of memory. Linux laptop OEMs charge the same for an upgrade to 64GB as Apple does for 16GB)

Why do you need to buy the latest macbook with a very fast CPU? Well you wouldn't, if software was more efficient. It's exactly the same argument as with memory.

> doing the same thing my desktop from 2008

Similarly to how your desktop from 2008 was doing the "same" job as a Windows 98 machine? Except it's not really doing the same job, expectations consumers have on software have changed dramatically over the last 15 years.

> well. hardware costs money for us. fix your software.

Yes it does cost money. Because Apple charges extremely high margins on memory upgrades. If you could update your own RAM or if Apple's upgrades had the same margin as the base model itself additional 8GB wouldn't be more than extra $50 (maybe a $100 at most if the memory Apple uses is so 'advanced' AFAIK it's not..).
I am really loving the design. So refreshing but also super-polished -- a great differentiator from the corporate Memphis dominating the landscape right now.
hard to see the value of drone vessels for the US - low power, short mission duration, they are basically of no use for anything other than littoral defence. The purpose of the US Navy is to project power to the far abroad and threaten bombardment to countries unwilling to bend the knee - no need for coastal defence doodads like this
Minor thing: I can't watch the video because of the tracking system and my adblock. but cool project!
A little contrarian here, but AI/ML is a great entry point. You can learn the hottest field in the world right now and apply it to creating art. You'll be learning a lot of highly valuable skills and creating works that are aesthetically pleasing and meaningful to you.

The best way to get started is to download Discord (what all these people hang out on) and join the Discord communities of several of the top sites. There you can learn directly from current practitioners.

Using Christensen's theory against Tesla is an interesting one and one I've thought about. I largely think batteries and EV's are a red herring as far as Tesla goes and this type of analysis. I think it is much closer to a new market disruption. Tesla is playing a different game than the rest of the auto industry - it's playing against a different set of customer values (electric might be part of it, but only part). In this way it is similar to the iPhone coming in and basically killing Nokia, Motorola and Blackberry. The iPhone targeted different values than the dominant "smartphones" of the day. The attacks against Tesla to me feel very analogous to the attacks agains the iPhone. But I guess only time will tell.

As an aside, I actually think the advantages of Tesla are its willingness to constantly improve the product - from software OTAs that make the cars better years after purchase to fundamentally reworking manufacturing (eg mega casting). They've taken Toyota's Kaizen and cranked it up to 11.

As far as the rest of the auto industry, I think there is probably a cheaper worse play (low end disruption). EVs are much simpler to make and that's going to wreak havoc on the auto supply chain (needing it to be much smaller/leaner). And it would also seem the dealer's days are numbered - both as a dated sales model as well as their revenue drying up (fewer repairs to make). Do any of the encumbants disrupt themselves (knowing it is inevitable)? Or is there another player that comes in? (And I don't think Tesla really fits this role).

My mother and father also both had the ability to spend 6+ hours a day watching TV or doing other hobbies in their working years. They're currently in their 80's, and my dad did blue-collar work as a telephone lineman.

"Social pension system is a Ponzi scheme" is argument I've heard from people with certain political leaning often enough I wondered if Reagan or Thatcher said it or something.

It never made sense to me. As long as the number of people is relatively stable, there's nothing Ponzi on it. Even with the number of people changing, there are other important inputs into the equation - automation, efficiency, etc.
Also in the film Four Lions where terrorists use an online game to communicate (basically an unbranded Club Penguin). Wouldn't particularly recommend watching the film (it isn't bad, it is just depressing...which is the aim) but the media coverage of this does suggest it is occurring.

As it is, the integer scale is 1512x982, which many websites think (including some you might build!) is a tablet.

That's odd, I've never noticed that on my 14". Websites usually choose layouts according to width and 1512 is well into desktop territory.

the Air's resolution is more mainstream and usable

The Air is 2560x1664, and at the default (non-integer, so less sharp) scaling it presents as 1470x956 which is also non-standard and lower than the MBP.
