> The patent also outlines a potential to lock the vehicle out on weekends only so that the driver can still access a job and might be able to come through on those delinquent payments

What if you usually work weekends which is common for a lot of the jobs people who are missing payments might be working? In that case you would be out of luck.

You would also be out of luck if you are trying to get a side-gig or pick up a part time job on weekends to make ends meet.

This is what happens when people who have no money troubles make decisions in a board room. Completely out of touch.
"it is easier to make working code fast than to make fast code work"

That was from either the 1960s or the 1970s and I don't know that anything has changed in the human ability to read a mangled mess of someone's premature optimizations.

"Make it work. Make it work right. Make it work fast."
how to apply the observation above...
Sometimes I briefly get out of my bubble and realize that the vast majority of the world population - even the first, highly educated world - still trusts their entire digital lives to a black box controlled by either 1 of 2 US companies.

I mean, the fact that we have a widely available alternative makes the picture slightly less bleak, but still. How many politically-inclined persons rave endlessly about freedom and sovereignty while making no effort on such an important front? The Linux usage numbers are so far from where they should be.
"Private" vs "public" are just Slack settings, both refer to professional communication, not to a private chat between friends. People often start conversation in private chats to avoid producing noise for wider audience, not because they intend to be mean and fear repercussions.
Sadly, I am inclined to agree despite hating myself for relying on ways to generate effective propaganda. The only way to deal with this is to create a counter narrative. Seriously, just the other day, I had someone mention talking point #1, #2 to political issue X like they were reciting it. It is annoying, but if that is the default state already..

When you finance a car, the vehicle becomes collateral for a loan, but it belongs to you. A technology like this means that the vehicle still belongs to Ford, which means if something goes wrong with it, or if you get sciatica from their shitty seats, you can class action sue them into oblivion.

The reason we have laws is so that people have recourse to principle, whereas when you implement something like this in hardware (a car), it's dystopian vigilantism. I realize the largest future growth market for cars is in countries without reliable legal systems, and whose evolving governments will not hamper themselves the way the US did by guaranteeing individual freedoms, but this is why discourse about tech is important, as for every innovation, there's 100 scumbags like this inventor looking to leverage it to exploit people.

There are never widespread indicators we are going into recession, because once they're widespread, we're in recession, by definition.

Leading indicators are always narrow, and they require some economic knowledge (and some risk) in interpreting them. Rises in interest rates. Yield curve inversion. Drops in advertising spending. Companies cancel major new investments. Mortgage applications fall off. Housing starts fall.

Nearly all of these are happening now. Things like the Fed Funds rate going up usually lead the recession by ~2 years, yield curve inversions by ~1 year, ad spending and capital investments by 6-12 months. Broad-based layoffs and drops in consumer spending usually don't happen until the recession is well underway.

IOW, check back in a year. I'm predicting carnage, and trading on it. You might be right, in which case I've missed out on the growth of a year, but you might also be ruined.
That's a very untrue set of statements.

Apple charges an absurd amount for tiny little features that real computers have in spades. Like RAM going for $200+ increments per 8GB, or $200+ increments per 512GB of SSD storage. That's almost offensive pricing if you know actual hardware costs. Why? Because Apple "Silicon" computers are not modular.

For a top end Apple M2 you're spending $2500 just to get feature parity with a $1000 PC and even then you're maxing out at a pathetic 2TB of storage and only 24GB of ram. If you built a $2500 PC it would absolutely, unequivocally, blow the highest end M2 out of the water in both performance (especially after thermal throttling on the M2) and ability to do computer task (ie, having more space than a Dell computer from 2006 which Apple M1/M2 products cannot).

This has also been my experience but I can understand that not all lone developers follow similar conventions.

It can take a while to get used to someone else's conventions, but once you do, the one advantage of a lone developer is that the conventions can be generally consistent. I say "can be" because that has been my experience in many cases, but not all – especially for long lived projects where the conventions evolved as the developer either gained experience or was influenced by other conventions. But, even then, their evolution still has personality to it, that is easy to perceive.

pd: Thinking about it, larger teams with conventions (when they're followed) sometimes achieve a similar consistency to lone developers. So: thank you to all those lone developers that have left their code in a state that has helped me thrive, not fail, :-)
Earlier the author talked about Slack, so I take that to mean "public channel" or some other in-company "public." Then "private" in this context may also be a description of a feature of the conversation, not necessarily an expectation of privacy. If your company culture accepts that a private DM conversation may be pulled into a public conversation, there's no breach of trust.

To be charitable, "speak up to take the conversation" could actually mean "I propose we move this conversation to #public_channel."

Personally, I don't even consider it unhealthy. DMs are for convenience, work conversations are better off with more visibility.
Look at the “dataset” column: CLIP was trained on 400m images, UForm on 4m.
I have a different take on it, which I've been saying for years at this point. DeepMind appear to have over-committed to the wrong approach - reinforcement learning. They've had some great successes with it for sure, but it's always seemed the wrong approach for intelligence, notwithstanding luminaries such as David Silver insisting that "Reward is Enough".

The best examples of intelligent systems we have at this point are animal brains, which per cortical architecture(s) appear to operate on an entirely different principle - prediction. The cortex simply put is a prediction machine - not only can it predict, but this is essentially the only thing it does, and ability to predict is the evolutionary selection pressure that created it.

It's a bit odd that here in 2023 there is still no widespread agreement in the scientific community how best to define intelligence, but I have my own rather pithy definition that I believe is the most reductive:

"Intelligence is the ability to correctly predict (future outcomes) based on prior experience."

In other words, intelligence is the capability given to use by our cortex.

Why evolution put such a high value on prediction should be pretty obvious : you can now act based on what is going to happen rather than what you immediately perceive. Predict where the food/water is, how the predator/prey are going to behave, etc, etc. Prediction is also the basis of "thought/reasoning" which is essentially just a sequence of (correctly predicted) chained what-if scenarios.

It should now be obvious why something as dumb/simplistic as an LLM shows such a "surprising" degree of intelligence - because it is a prediction machine, and why "think step by step" is therefore such a powerful tool.

There are probably a dozen or more alternate definitions of intelligence that have been offered by various people, but I believe none are as reductive as mine - other definitions basically describe capabilities that a system/person would have if they were able to predict.

Reinforcement learning seems to be a misleadingly attractive idea because subjectively goal-based behavior makes sense to us, but it seems that again this is not reductive enough. The appearance of goal-based behavior is something that comes out of prediction. Part of understanding this is a brilliant insight from the much maligned Jeff Hawkins - prediction (quite literally and mechanistically) becomes action; this occurs because the motor cortex operates just like the rest of the cortex and is a prediction machine - it predicts our motor actions, and those predictive outputs drive our muscles causing the prediction to become true. Goal-based behavior is therefore based on the mechanism of prediction - predict the sequence of what-if actions to achieve a goal, and those actions will be taken. Our self-predictive actions start at birth by predicting (via self-observation) the actions we make at that stage and evolves as life experience causes our predictions to change.

TL;DR - DeepMind are riding the wrong horse (RL). Prediction is all you need.

Drone crashes in failed attack southeast of Moscow, regional governor says
> Now, take some photos and videos, log the location & conditions, and let it live...

From the article, a microscope and DNA testing were required to confirm:

> "We were watching what Dr. Skvarla saw under his microscope and he's talking about the features and then just kinda stops," said Codey Mathis, a doctoral candidate in entomology at Penn State. "We all realized together that the insect was not what it was labeled and was in fact a super-rare giant lacewing. I still remember the feeling. It was so gratifying to know that the excitement doesn't dim, the wonder isn't lost. Here we were making a true discovery in the middle of an online lab course."

> For additional confirmation, Skvarla and his colleagues performed molecular DNA analyses on the specimen. Since confirming its true identity, Skvarla has deposited the insect safely in the collections of the Frost Entomological Museum at Penn State, where scientists and students will have access to it for further research.
Gross, it was better when companies had no control over blind. This way doesn't feel safe or anonymous, what's stopping Blind from cooperating with companies on other efforts? Thanks for the heads up.
>>Scientists hypothesize the insect's disappearance could be due to the ever-increasing amount of artificial light and pollution of urbanization;

Although this has not been established as the cause of demise of this specific species, over-lighting is a huge problem. It is expensive cargo-culting, and the fact that LED lighting is so much more efficient to run, just makes the cargo-culting of lighting up everything all the time that much worse.

We really need to stop it, it screws with the lifecycle of almost every plant & animal including us. Dark skies aren't just for stargazers.

Whenever you get the chance, advocate for minimizing and shielding lighting.
I'd love to borrow FB's brain for one week so that I could get an entire year's worth of work done.
The biggest problem with an ignition interlock device today is that they're extremely unreliable. As implemented they are also very intrusive. Granted, they are currently implemented only as part of a punitive measure, so that behavior is partly intentional, but it would be unacceptable for universal adoption.

Probably be better to just make cars do realtime verification of license status before letting someone drive ... but that's only better by comparison; people who never drive drunk will bristle at the heavy regulation.

I bet there are a lot of sciency things you can do to a specimen that you can't do to a photograph of a specimen. And it's not like a few thousand specimens in museums are driving mass extinction. It's habitat destruction and climate change.
If the roads required secret incantations to ensure you don't teleport back to where you started, then your comparison would be fair.

Most hardware manufacturers suck in that regard too. That in itself doesn't make Apple any better.
I think the pros/cons of JIT compilation are pretty well known by now, and there's enough expertise floating around that they'd probably be able to implement it in a way that doesn't compromise performance. If I recall one of reasons it wasn't pursued in CPython was that Guido wanted it to be kept relatively simple, and JIT compilation might require some fairly complex additions to CPython which is otherwise relatively simple and easy-to-understand
What is wrong with that?

Having water purification, a stock of food in your home for a week or more, medkits, local backups of critical data on a portable drive, weather radio/baofeng, N95s or better, and a decent solar panel kit seem totally reasonable for someone to have on hand. Especially if you have a lot of money and the space for it.

I'm sorry, is being a bit of a prepper something to be ashamed of? Most people should probably be more ashamed of their social media or porn addiction than having MREs ready.

What if Sam Altman runs LineageOS and a VPN? Is he some paranoid whacko for trying to be secured against government digital intrusion?

I think this is a trojan integration.

MS will promptly appeal to the regulators (and possibly litigate) as soon as Apple breaks this.
The compiled output seems pretty clean, but isn’t necessarily what you’d write by hand. e.g. adds things like anonymous functions called immediately, when you’d probably just write a named private function, that sort of thing.
This is so awesome.

My dream is to understand JIT compiler tech. Does anybody have any resources?

I've read the documentation of Pypy but I don't understand everything. And I've looked at dynasm for luajit.

I also read about Ruby's YJIT.

Do JIT compilers create machine code templates of bytecode instructions and then emit that? Or do they create basic blocks and then emit that as machine code?

My amd64 compiler is toy barebones that can evaluate ADD and MUL expressions https://github.com/samsquire/compiler I would love for it to become a JIT compiler!
Apparently its anaerobic bacteria in the crust below us. Because they don't just have the thin crust to inhabit, they have miles of 3D rock.

Insects as a whole, yes. A single insect, generally not.

If an endangered insect species is down to a population where single individuals matter, it's already a goner.
There are ways to have some accessibility support, but still break absolutely every extension an accessibility user might want to use (already know/enjoy), by not having HTML/DOM.

These efforts will, in some cases, have hacks & workarounds. The ARIA group is active building alternative imperative accessibility options for graphical systems. Every one of the folks involved ripping out the actual html web for their own developer-defined Canvas-powered stack realizes accessibility is a minimum legal requiremement. But it can still violate every norm & break every tool an accessobility user wants to use/has ever used, and tick this legal box. It can still be a nightmare hellscape for them. (It probably will be.)

And we get much accessibility by default from having DOM/HTML. It's quite possible that these "Modern" un-web apps have accessibility options in the framework, but that many developers botch up or dont spend the time to use these accessibility options, or they use them poorly. There's plenty of A11Y/ARIA concerns sites should consider on the current web, and fail to do great. But the baseline can be ok, & the user can refine the site/experience (since it's html/dom)!!!! Whether the baseline did-nothing experience stays the same/gets better/gets worse for users (assuming they happen to have compatible a11y tools, per above paragraphs) on these "Modern" un-web apps is very TBD, and I tend strongly towards believing it'll be worse. And it wont be as malleable.
When working with a larger code base, there will always be parts that you don't remember writing and you'll inevitably have to read the code to understand it. That's just part of the job/task, regardless of the style it's written in.

So, in that case, what would have been the more "honest" way for that person to have gotten your sister to move? "Will you please move out of my way" is honest, but feels like it has just as much of an implied "You inconsiderate asshole" while taking far more words and time.

I'm mostly curious because I've been living with a variety of German travelers in the US for the last 10 years for reasons and have, if anything, found them to be overly polite to the point of annoyance relative to my American instincts.
That doesn’t sound like abuse to me. The downside is if there’s synchronous things (meetings/collaboration) that the person is missing out on, but that’s no different than dealing with somebody working regular weekdays that isn’t collaborating well.

Not friendly? It's more than that. The processors themselves may be great but the computers are not. The hardware takes short cuts and fails to implement compatible versions of long existing hardware standards because Macs don't need to since everything is proprietary and vertically integrated.

It's more like making roads that don't have the normal line markings on them and occasionally have gaps in the parts of the road apple cars don't normally drive on, etc.
Google Photos will sync iPhone photos/videos via wifi/data (optionally at original resolution), then delete the photos from the device.
