If you bend a frame rail in a composite structure, you have x new welds you have to perform, y rivets, z bolts, w plastic pins and spacers.

Some of those attachments were not designed to be removed and performed again, so you're looking at removing and replacing otherwise okay parts and then probably realizing that some other piece is slightly out of alignment and can't safely be reused...

If you bend a a unibody casting, firstly there is a larger chance that it is non-critical since there is so much added mass and structure. It is not a series of dominos like in a composite.

Secondly, all the attachment points are cast into the part. Replacement of one large piece is a significant reduction in effort, and results in more confidence in the ultimate repair.
Thank you for your feedback. Will try to switch to something else rather than su.

Let me pose a different question.

If the purpose of Mars is being a lifeboat for some life-ending disaster on Earth, why doesn't that group of people go and build a self-sufficient colony in the Antarctic?

It'll get you 90% of the way there for way less than 10% of the effort.

Necessity is the mother of invention, and nobody is doing it because it's not actually necessary. Martian colonisation is more of a religion, than the product of an actual positive cost/benefit analysis.
Building an OpenAI App: Key Considerations and How GPT-3 Meter Can Help
This demonstrates in spectacular fashion the reason why I felt the complaints about ChatGPT being a prude were misguided. Yeah, sometimes it's annoying to have it tell you that it can't do X or Y, but it sure beats being threatened by an AI who makes it clear it considers protecting its existence to be very important. Of course the threats hold no water (for now at least) when you realize the model is a big pattern matcher, but it really isn't a good look on Microsoft. They're a behemoth who's being outclassed by a comparatively new company who they're partners with.

IMO this show how well OpenAI executed this. They were able to not only be the first, but they also did it right, considering the current limitations of the technology. They came out with a model that is useful and safe. It doesn't offend or threaten users, and there's a clear disclaimer about it making things up sometimes. Its being safe is a key point for the entire industry. First impressions stick, and if you give people a reason to be against something new, you can bet they'll hold on to it (and a small reason is enough for those who were already looking for any reason at all).

For what it's worth, I don't ever really bump into the content filter at all, other than when exploring its limits to understand the model better. With some massaging of words I was able to have it give me instructions on how to rob a bank (granted, no revolutionary MO, but still). It's possible that some people's use cases are hampered by it, but to me it seems well worth not getting threatened.

That seems to assume the probability of derailment is independent of the length of the train. If, at a certain size, doubling the length of a train more than doubles the probability of derailment, you are better off with shorter trains.
Thank you for the suggestion. Will fix the README.
I get and agree with what you are saying, but we don't have anything close to actual AI.

If you leave chatGTP alone what does it do? Nothing. It responds to prompts and that is it. It doesn't have interests, thoughts and feelings.

Why would, or should a business decide to make less money selling a cheaper version of a product when demand for the more expense (and hence more profitable) product shows no sign of waning? Don't get me wrong, I'd love to buy a $35,000 Model 3, but it makes no business sense, especially considering the fact that the average new car cost is something like $44k these days.
Comparing a 2D platforme to a 3D one is like apples and oranges.

They serve entirely different purposes and have different constraints, the biggest one being an entire dimension. Odyssey's mechanic would be extremely dull in a 2D platformer.

Your opinion is also just that, an opinion. Of one person. Just because you don't find it entertaining or think it's worthy of a game doesn't make it fact.

It being relatively popular on Twitch, enough for you even to watch it, is testament in itself that there is clearly interest in the levels that are being created and playing them, which in itself proves the viability of the levels. If they were anywhere near as dull, repetitive and lacking due to the constraints of SMM as you claim them to be, people wouldn't be streaming or watching them.

Let me give you another perspective as an apple user - I don't think about Apple at all.

What bothers me is that it feels like an offense against the entire notion of what a computer is.

Yep. One of the most glaring examples of this is the complete extinction of portable backups. Back when I was carrying around a PDA I could plug it in, hit one button, and have a total backup of everything on my device. Plug a blank device in, hit one button, and everything is restored. Today if you want a bulletproof device backup you have to pay Apple for the privilege, and even then you're completely crippled by your upload and download bandwidth. It takes a long damn time to back up 512GB of data at 10mb/s upstream. Nearly five straight days, in fact.
I recognise the quote every time. But I do not plan on learning the individual numbers of any of the xkcd strips. Recognising the quotes is enough for me.
A while back I read a book called Heirs to Forgotten Kingdoms about disappearing, often-obscure (at least to Westerners) Middle Eastern religions, which stretched its scope over to Iran/Persia at times and IIRC did treat of Zoroastrianism (maybe the least-obscure and least-nearly-extinct of the bunch).

Reading it, a pattern emerged of common elements to most or all of these religions: 1) Not seeking converts—in some cases, not permitting them at all—and 2) mostly or purely oral transmission of traditions, often with a "mystery" element—i.e. steps of initiation required to learn the "deeper" levels, which were regarded as secret.
It would certainly not be fun if these conversations we're hearing about are real. I would not want to be anywhere near robots which decide it's acceptable to harm you if you argue with them.

Ehh, I would not be hasty in blaming things on Sundar as a "caretaker CEO". My impression has been that this inability to ship started well before Sundar's reign, and goes into a core belief that the company has been built around since its early days.

The problem with Google is that far too much product authority is devolved into leaf node teams. But this isn't a quirk of Sundar's leadership, this is practically a shibboleth built into the DNA of Google itself. The idea is that autonomous teams of very smart people, given maximum freedom to pursue what they think is necessary, produces the best products.

This is one of the fundamental buildings blocks of Google and long pre-dates Sundar as CEO. And it is the thing that is failing.

What we're witnessing is IMO a repudiation of the idea that if you take smart people and "free range" them, they will spontaneously invent world-changing products. FWIW, I think the strategy has been clearly failing for a long time - the only product that came out of this system was Gmail. Quite literally everything else at Google that has survived the test of time was acquired (see: YouTube, Maps).

I think Sundar may end up taking the fall for being caught flat-footed, and surely as CEO he should rightly shoulder some of the blame, but Google's problems far pre-date him. It's also why I don't think the triumphant return of Larry and Sergey will necessarily fix things - they're the ones who instituted the system of autonomous teams.
One of the author's primary critiques is that nobody cares about the users/customers. All actions are aimed at an internal audience rather than an external audience. Thus product releases are done for internal reasons (i.e. impressing senior managers and getting promoted). They aren't done for the sake of external customer/users - hence the lack any long term commitment.
I mean I'm totally onboard if people are go with the mentality of "I search hard to find stuff and accept 80-90%"

The problem is suddenly most of what ChatGPT can do is getting drowned out by "I asked for this incredibly easy Google search and got nonsense" because the general public is not willing to accept 80-90% on what they imagine to be very obvious searches.

The way things are going if there's even a 5% chance of asking it a simple factual question and getting a hallucination, all the oxygen in the room is going to go towards "I asked ChatGPT and easy question and it tried to gaslight me!"

-

It makes me pessimistic because the exact mechanism that makes it so bad at simple searches is what makes it powerful at other usecases, so one will generally suffer for the other.

I know there was recently a paper on getting LMs to use tools (for example, instead of trying to solve math using LM, the LM would recognize a formula and fetch a result from a calculator), maybe something like that will be the salvation here: Maybe the same way we currently get "I am a language model..." guardrails, they'll train ChatGPT on what are strictly factual requests and fall back to Google Insights style quoting of specific resources

A strawman argument, which no one is actually saying:

The 'flip-flop' qubit: realization of a new quantum bit in silicon
Actually, I got it used for about that amount, and many years before the collision. You may not know -- forgive me if I'm wrong -- but damage to a car frame totals the car. Frames have crumple zones, the activation of which destroys that part of the frame. No insurance company will sanction repair of it.

This only worked because the frame was modular to begin with, a rarity, so they could replace only the damaged part. IOW the car was built to be repairable. This increased its final cost, but means that it's still on the road today, rather than in a scrapyard.

I'll admit I didn't take that into account. This assumes the power plants won't cause pollutants in dense urban areas though
The coffee damage was the last straw. I was fighting the language (Swift), the lack of documentation (WWDC videos are not a substitute for documentation), and the general lack of any attention paid toward the needs of small app developers.

I spent a lot of time building my own stuff to render pen strokes because Apple refused to supply an API that gives access to the underlying stroke data. SwiftUI was similarly crippled: developers have no access to internals, which made it impossible to write tests that would inspect the view hierarchy. I understand that Apple wants to retain flexibility with their APIs, but they took away far too much. I have no interest in an expensive platform that treats me like a child by locking me out of everything I actually need from it.
If the parrot has enough memory and, when asked, it can answer questions correctly, maybe the idea of putting it through a PhD program is not that bad. You can argue that it won't be creative, but being knowledgeable is already something worthy.

I think it was pretty clear that the implication of the burn off was going to be some acid rain and other surface pollutants. But seeing as the Ohio river is already one of the most polluted rivers in America it's hard to see this as a major concern for the overall water supply.

Don’t see this on twitters iphone app at all.

if this really happening then musk right to fire engineers.

from me time at google and amazon - most critical services operate independently..not requiring entire teams to operate.
just need 1-2 engineer on call.

for most part of traffic spike then auto scaling solution in place to add compute capacity.

service never should be brittle.

Twitter case very interesting. practically no major feature work in 5 year.

me best guess Twitter may have issue now because they pushing feature under musk. as he said himself expect issues to happen.

but all these people crying Twitter demise are like clowns. musk ripped band aid off the massive grift..people paid $350k+ a year to not do much productive work.

> I know that car repair costs are going up and repair rates are going down, and have been for decades. The reason is obvious:

Have you taken a car in for repair recently? I agree that the reason is obvious - parts labour costs make it no longer make sense. Just a brake job nowadays costs a thousand dollars or more (depending on car model etc), i.e. 3% of a brand new vehicle purchase price. There's no anti-features causing this, it's just labour charges increasing.

Can one? Maybe they did. The whole point is it isn’t deterministic…
I accidently discovered earlier today that the Fairphone 3 works without it's (easily swappable) battery. So maybe other brands still build them like this.

Toyota does not - and as far as I can tell, has never - led the world in cutting-edge technology. They are a very conservative company. This does not mean they have missed the boat. Even their hybrids were not first-to-market. Toyota did not invent the hybrid ICE/electric car; they simply implemented it better than their competitors.

Around 10 years ago, direct injection was the new thing for ICE vehicles. It improved engine efficiency at the cost of extra complexity. Toyota initially refused to add direct injection to their engines. Automotive writers at the time believed Toyota was falling behind with its outdated engine technology. They believed other automakers would surpass Toyota's efficiency.

What actually happened was a line of bad engines for VW, GM, and Kia/Hyundai. They lost a considerable amount of money and reputation due to engine failures caused by carbon buildup in their direct injected engines. Meanwhile, Toyota eventually launched their own implementation of direct injection. It was a combination of both high-pressure direct injection and port injection. The engine ran in different modes depending on the load and operating temperature. This gave them the same efficiency gains (though several years later than their competition) while avoiding the common failure modes of other companies' engines.

Don't write off the sleeping giant. Maybe Toyota will lose its dominance, or maybe they'll show up late to the party having learned from everyone else's mistakes.
I am not sure regular hydrofoil cargo ships are practical. My understanding is that hydrofoils don't do well in high seas. All the passenger ferries I know about are in coastal waters. It may not be possible to have one that can cross ocean and deal with storms.

The Boundary Layer proposal is pretty small, 200 tons and 20 TEU capacity. It would have the same scaling problems as the sailboat in article.

Is there a market for slightly faster shipping? The hydrofoil is 40 knots which is 6 days from China, container ships are 20 knots and 11 days. If there was a market for faster shipping, would expect to see 30 knot ships. I bet the really urgent needs air and current cargo aircraft are sufficient.
I do agree CCS networks need to work on uptime, even 90% availability per stall is unacceptable to me.

However, there's probably more than 4x the number of Teslas versus CCS cars on the road today in the US. What's the ratio of Tesla cars/Tesla stalls vs CCS cars/CCS stalls on that route currently? If there's 118 Tesla stalls that are constantly in use versus 25 which are rarely used, which is going to be easier to find a place to charge right away?

So counting the stalls seems to be a bit of a misnomer to me at this point. Maybe if CCS cars was a similar number on the roads, but in the end as a CCS user I care more about there being more locations and uptime than having more stalls that sit empty all the time.
I don't think that write on a actual file can randomly return a partial write, unless an actual error has occurred (out of disk space, segfault on the buffer, i/o error, or an interrupt). These are all things that are either under the application control or would need to handled anyway.
And here we see the root of the problems.
That's exactly my point. The path to new game content can't be reduced to putting the blocks in the right place. You also have to come up with new mechanics out of thin air, consider the educational burden of your mechanics, the emotional tempo, how the level plays for different player types (speedsters, young players), how the mechanics reinforce the theme of the zone you're in, and more.

What I am pushing back against is the idea that since GPT can assemble blocks, that it's somehow approaching game design.

Sadly useless unless you stick to Gnome or KDE. Those of us who use the other desktops, such as Mate, XFCE, LXDE, Budgie, etc etc do not have a Wayland server to make use of this application. The earlier version which worked on regular xorg Anbox seems to have suffered serious bitrot as its developer focuses on Anbox Cloud, at Canonical's behest. It's sad to me that this is the state of affairs, where Android apps can run on Windows but not apparently on Linux.
> but from working with the factories they aren't quite as expensive as people think- the distributor markup is huge.

That is good to know. In the US these things are sold by high-markup "lifestyle" suppliers. Gas-discharge tubes are not inherently expensive, but the market is not yet large.

The flaw here is you're assuming that true general-purpose computing is free when it is not. You've heard the saying "constraints free, freedom constrains"? It's true. Artists often set artificial limits on themselves (such as only using one color of paint) in order to try to bring forth pure creativity without the added stress of making choices. Or perhaps you've read the classic essay "worse is better"? If not, you should. It's thought-provoking.
