or not just recycled EV batteries, but alternative batteries that don't need to have good weight ratios. PV storage should maximize the cost-efficiency, since that is the determining factor, not weight ratios like in a car would optimize for.
not sure why you need ML for this. Seems like you could use basic keyword matching.

Whenever people write this comment I get the same vibe as when people say that all the recipes in The Anarchist Cookbook are rigged to fail - however I’m in a much better position to judge the technology then the chemistry.

Adding in the VPN (which you should already have and use regularly) before the first Tor guard or bridge node has several benefits - it obscures your usage of the Tor network by a causal observer at the origin (the FBI said they could tell Dread Pirate Roberts was using Tor from the ip addresses, just not what he was using it for - though they did note he was active on Tor during periods Dread Pirate Roberts was active although that alone wasn’t enough for a warrant), it obscures your origin ip to the causal observer at the guard or bridge, your activity is mixed with all other vpn users using the same vpn server(s) - some VPNs add a layer of indirection by routing your traffic through two servers, and it increases the total number of nodes your traffic flows through by at least 1 - unless you do a compile time change to increase the length of the route.

The risk of a party having control of both your vpn and all the tor servers in your path is not zero but at that point the universe pretty much wants you to be found. Should have gone to those Wednesday pot-lucks and put a little more into the building fund. ;)

The person in the article did not use a vpn and they traced the traffic to his mom’s house - amendment to the Ten Commandments of Selling Crack, “Don’t sell crack where your moms at”.

Paying for a vpn with a credit card doesn’t make you identifiable, the list of suspects is everyone who uses the vpn, or knows someone who has a password, or works for a company that maintains a pool of corporate accounts. Most VPNs don’t link outgoing connections to back to users, just so they don’t have to deal with people asking those sorts of questions.

I think Google is hobbled by this belief. They place their "ethics" above doing well in the market. This is evidenced by the degradation of their search results to prevent the spread of misinformation. Because of this they dropped most results that come from forums from their search results. The market will just have to correct them. They are even saying they might stop releasing research because they are worried about the ethics of their competitors. That will just be a disaster for technology. No wonder Sergei and Larry aren't that excited about the company anymore.

I think technologies wise TikTok is similar to that of Youtube Shorts

Both seems to preload about 10 secs of next 4-5 videos.

I think here is the trick: if your recommendation gets sufficiently good, then user won't eagerly scrolling next just to get content they would actually watch, which makes serving less of noticeable problem. There is a feedback loop here.

On TikTok I rarely gets content that would skip at first sight, which speaks to strength of its algorithm.

Don't know about Reddit/Twitter, but Netflix's video is a whole different business overall, all the DRAM and stuff.
I have a partner like that, and this is a thing we discussed very early and very much agree on. Neither of us would enjoy it, and both of us would be terrible parents, because it is very possible to severely screw something up without it being malicious. It would be bad for everyone involved.

> I think differences in politics are largely formed through a lack of knowledge

Knowledge doesn't make everyone want or value the same things. There's significant evidence that gene's play a role in a persons interests, desires, and even morality [1]. You're speaking of a Utopia that would require forced mental uniformity, requiring a perspective that there are no grey areas in life. I don't think this is compatible with the reality of humanity.

IDK that the analogy to jobs works. When I've quit, I've largely left what I wanted to accomplish unaccomplished. I'm quitting, partly because it's never going to happen — there will never come a day during which the team is adequately staffed to really tackle the tough problems that exist before it. (But more often than not, for far more Maslow's Hierarchy reasons than that.) And that's been true at every single employee I've had, without fail, without regards to the team size or how bright (or dull) its members are. The day to day "must haves" from people outranking us will forever, at any enterprise, be prioritized above the desires of the people who understand the system.

And I see this when I see people far smarter and more capable than me job hop, too. They're not leaving fulfilled, they're leaving burnt out, unable to bring their dreams to fruition.

Dilbert resonates well with most readers. "What color do you want that database?" still gives me a chuckle. It will forever be mauve.

As someone who hasn't really done much deep learning, I've always wondered if the work itself is fullfilling or if it is just the fact that there is absurbly cool outcomes? The math isn't super complex, it seems the majority of the effort is data cleaning and tuning. Is it just a massive labor of love? I also worry that the labor itself doesn't build on itself and becomes obsolete knowledge like a web framework.
It's amazing how automated some steps are, and how automated some steps aren't.

My rough model was always simply that all the Western powers practiced African slavery in that period, in the regions in which it was useful (hot, humid, agricultural ones). The same dynamics that led America to have slavery in Mississippi but not Boston led the English/UK to have it in Kingston but not London

I don’t understand why it is adjustable in the first place[1]. Personally I bring it all the way to the right, or one notch below, and never touch it again. To me it is less adjustable, and more that the default value is wrong and have to be mitigated.

> Only later did I learn that it actually seemed to have been industrial espionage gone wrong!

The relevant bit from Wikipedia:

> Industrial espionage was implicated in the capacitor plague, in connection with the theft of an electrolyte formula. A materials scientist working for Rubycon in Japan left the company, taking the secret water-based electrolyte formula for Rubycon's ZA and ZL series capacitors, and began working for a Chinese company. The scientist then developed a copy of this electrolyte. Then, some staff members who defected from the Chinese company copied an incomplete version of the formula and began to market it to many of the aluminium electrolytic manufacturers in Taiwan, undercutting the prices of the Japanese manufacturers. This incomplete electrolyte lacked important proprietary ingredients which were essential to the long-term stability of the capacitors and was unstable when packaged in a finished aluminium capacitor. This faulty electrolyte allowed the unimpeded formation of hydroxide and produced hydrogen gas.
A few years earlier, Compaq, my first helpdesk job, had similar issues with caps in their PSU's. The normal problem statement would be that the computer simply went out with a loud bang.

Awesome... but I can't tell from your website what exactly it is.
There are a few probable answers to this, I'll bring two. First one, it could be a coincidence. Second one is, it's because if somebody wants to put something in a bad light, it doesn't matter what that something is going to be - it will always be possible to find a property, which, shown in certain light, will look bad. For example, if WP was younger than FB, the wording could be around proven convenience vs. attempts to disrupt.

This is just the answer to the literal question, it doesn't in any way relate to the topic itself.
I think the causality on slavery is backwards, and the article agrees... Shortages of low-skilled labor encourage automation, because then the (very expensive) automation process becomes cheap relative to labor. The article argues that labor shortages coinciding with excess capital paved the way for automation, which in turn reduced dependence on slavery in the long term.

In this sense, cheap labor is cheap, but also a bit of a trap: it doesn't scale into undreamt of use-cases the way that truly scalable automation tends to.

Happy to hear there was no evidence of this being exploited.

This is one of those things you really want to fix. Relying on an ID value being hard to guess as a security measure can be easily become one of those completely-invisible-but-critically-load-bearing (in)security properties that is too easy to invalidate with new pushes/features/etc.

If these IDs were able to be exfiltrated or leaked or probed, it could have been disastrous. Really fortunate that this was caught now and wasn't in the wild for another year or two.

If the US is intervening in the TW scenario from JP, then it's already all out war and there's every reason to hit JP targets. Historically CCP/PRC has fought with the US, USSR and threatened the UK, all nuclear powers over redline issues much less important than TW, sometimes while PRC not nuclear power herself. IMO there is no astronomically deterring PRC when it comes to TW. PLA TW war planning for the last few years (post Xi's PLA modernization) pretty much assumes US and JP will be involved, she's already on the hit list, as are most US military infra in the 1st and 2nd island chain. Would not be surprised if US infra in AU as well.

Final consideration is as the balance of backyard war swings increasingly in PRC favour, an all out war might be in PRC strategic interests. Ultimately that's what it takes to kick the US out of East Asia - destroy so much US hardware that she can't project even if she wanted to, and target an US security partner (JP) and kick her face in so hard that the region would not even consider hosting US forces after. The biggest reason why the region is not signing up for PRC containment is no one wants to be missile sinks for the TW scenario, the second TW card is off the table, the region is free to pivot and go all in on US security hedging. This is bad for the PRC in the long term. There are so many other geopolitical benefits of elimnating JP as a regional power as well.
As a PO, this is certainly a million dollar question. Too many features means bloat, too few means missed opportunities.

However, the market (and your users' reality) usually never stops changing, and as long as that's true, the product cannot be "done". The only reason why gmail can afford to be unchanging is that the use case is so universal, so basic, the users' needs are stable (and basic). 99.99% of products have to actually target someone.
This is why it has always seemed to me that the 'chat bot' -> AI pathway has felt quite analogous to the 'chess bot' -> AI pathway. We're constantly trying to replicate things that look like demonstrations of intelligence, but never really bothering with what intelligence is. What I mean is that a man lifting 400kg is a demonstration of exceptional athleticism. A 400kg man sitting on a balance and having 400kg go up on the other side is not, even though if we only observe the output (400kg goes up) then it is absolutely identical.

This isn't just a 'only humans can be intelligent' type argument, but emphasizing that what we want and what we're pursuing seem to be quite different. Newton deriving the inverse square law of gravitational attraction by observing things fall on Earth and watching the celestial bodies in the sky - that is an application of the sort of intelligence that we want. Asking a student to memorize and later recite that the gravitational force is proportional to m1*m2/r^2 is the sort of intelligence that we're building. And it's not like the latter leads to the former, of course it's the exact opposite!
Chattel slavery not only fueled the industrial revolution but laid the foundation for our modern world.

Capital accumulation, investment of capital, private ownership of the means of production (people), high levels of wage (free) labor and efficient (non-paid) use of the factors of production (people) - are all mechanisms of capitalism that reach their maximum potential under the conditions of chattel slavery.
NYC alone buys about 3,000 manhole covers a year (from the NYT article linked downthread) for just electricity and steam operations (not including sewer, gas, or water).

Japan has around 14x as many people and is substantially more urbanized, so it's not inconceivable that they run production daily, especially if they're selling to other markets.

I discovered Andrej very recently and I am a huge fan. Kudos to this whole effort!

Two ideas --

1. While these explainers are outstanding -- I can think of supplementary material/presentation that can nicely complement these explanations if they are presented visually. Especially the concepts of multidimensional tensors.

Something like what 3B1B (or his followers that create 'Summer of Math Exposition' videos) does -- which is not a skill I have.

I am thinking of creating some visual slides (my forte) but would there be interest in making this a larger collaboration that creates explainers for "visual learners"?

2. There should really be a discussion forum for people who follow along these "make more" tutorials -- to have discussions about each specific video, infact each specific timestamped chapter of these videos in that context.

Is there a framework or tool that lets us integrate YouTube videos and timestamped chapters into a "discussion forum" -- whether a simple website or a discord/slack. Once again this is slightly outside my skillset but if it appeals to people, maybe some ideas and effort can come together to make this happen?

EDIT: #facepalm -- I see there is already a discord [0] on the webpage [1] (but not likely tied to very specific chapters as I imagined -- but should be a excellent start anyway)

I'm not dismissing your opinions, but what is there to say about them as they seem to be about hypothetical third parties' mental state? Many people besides yourself seem to see "full self driving" as a brainwashing campaign, not to mention a money grab. I probably wouldn't pay for it, and in any case wouldn't rely on it in an unreasonable way. So for me, it is branding.

What I am mildly interested in (for the next time I get a new car) is whether a Tesla (say a model 3) would be more dangerous than an ordinary car if driven by the same person in the same manner. And the reporting all seems maliciously useless. I mean "useless" as opposed to "anti-Tesla" even if those might overlap.

I remember the reporting about Tesla abandoning radar, and that's definitely a good reason to wonder how safe they are, but worrying isn't actionable.

My perception based on "anecdata" is that an ordinary car with auto braking will probably brake hard at nothing maybe once in two years. If you're lucky, not in traffic. So, I'd like to know how Tesla compares - and of course, I wouldn't trust their PR any more than you.
I really hate Apple, but had to switch because that's the predominant laptop at my company. The HP trackpad sucked, and I had an actual mouse because there was no way I would use that trackpad. I mean seriously, who thought it was a good idea to make right click a tiny little magic area that you have to press just right in order to activate it?? I literally don't ever use my mouse when using my Apple work laptop now. I don't understand why multi-touch and gestures aren't a thing on every trackpad.

I can't speak to other laptop brands so maybe it's better for those. My 2016 Lenovo's trackpad wasn't something I ever used regularly either. I had a mouse for that computer as well because the trackpad never felt good.
The classic innovators dilemma. I think you're on to something. They just couldn't stand the ethical headache of this whole thing. I think this is the first really upfront case of highly useful technology being repressed. Sure, there have been rumors of all sorts of things being repressed, but this is the first time it's really out in the open publicly.
I think the main reason enthusiasts recap is to prevent damage to the rest of board when the capacitors swell and leak.

I thought the same thing. A couple of things that might account for that

- From other shots in the video later in the process, it looks like the majority of the manholes produced don't have colouring applied

-- The volume of manholes requiring colouring might be too low to justify the expense of automation

- Automated control of a fluid with high viscosity and a tendency to dry/accumulate would be much more difficult than, say, the grinding operation shown earlier. At the very least, the nozzles would require more maintenance

I fully agree though, that it is quite interesting that that step is being done manually. I find most videos of this kind to have the same type of surprise - steps which, to a layman, at least, appear like they could be automated, but are not, despite other steps in the process being automated. I imagine a manufacturing engineer's curse is being able to see a perfectible process but not being able to justify the expense.
