I can't really comment on the expenditure or the general strategy of Google's robotics teams, I know they closed down every day robotics, but that seemed to be specifically about the hardware.

Their software efforts still seem to be going strong, and I don't really think it's fair to say that demonstrating transfer learning in an embodied model none the less, is unambitious - nor does that seem like it's reflected in the results - but to be honest, I'm more or less a layman when it comes to this so I'll defer to you and keep what you're saying in mind.

To that end, if you're still feeling up to it, maybe you could tell me what your thoughts are with efforts like this from Google:

Seems to compare (somewhat) to Mimicplay, in that it is attempting to create more data for "cheap", even if it's not "real" control data.

That guy tweeted Elon Musk doesn't mean that Musk is allowed to reveal private medical information.
The starting points between Europe and USA may be different, but the methodology to contain reactions is the same: The boiling frog method [1], and playing the long game.

If the introduced change is subtle enough, only people directly affected will protest. In this case, students did protest for years, and they still do. But because the change is so subtle, it is easy to convincingly brand anyone protesting as unreasonable/reactionary/self-entitled/spoiled. E.g. "Do you complain about paying 20EUR/month for your DUO [2] loan, all while you can even skip payments with no repercussions when unemployed? An entitled lazy brat you are!".

Then, several years later, you can stage an audit on DUO to find out that it's "bleeding money". Now you have a free rein to shut it down and let the private sector to hand the student loans. All to save taxpayers' money, of course!

Americans do want walkable neighborhoods and cities. The evidence is that rents and housing prices are astronomically high in the areas that are walkable.

They wouldn't be expensive if the demand wasn't so high.
Interesting. Emad was just retweeting how Clipdrop’s monocular depth estimator would work well with ControlNet.

I wonder if they’ll open it up or if they’ll keep it proprietary.
Nope, unless you're talking about doing proper checks in debug builds, those that help mitigate CVEs.
Musk has made it pretty clear from the start he's looking to eliminate most (if not all) roles like that.

Those roles do tend to proliferate far beyond their actual utility in large organizations.
this comment is stupid.

you're suggesting tsla is going to brick someone's car because of something they said on twitter just because elon told them to?
You're misreading that source. It's the separate npm packages that are deprecated, not the module imports.
I use Postman all the time for work and it is definitely useful.

But it seems to be getting worse not better as they tack on more features and make it more complicated.

It seems like it's been years since they added anything I need and instead it has just gotten harder to use due to extra fluff. And it's buggier than it's ever been.
Musk did not say he was terminated due to disability. The link you provided as evidence states:

The reality is that this guy (who is independently wealthy) did no actual work

Musk claims Þorleifsson did no actual work using his disability as a reason for why no actual work was being done.

Laws vary country to country and even state to state in the U.S. Generally speaking in the U.S., the ADA requires employers to make reasonable accommodations for disabled employees. The ADA is a great thing that allows people of varying abilities to contribute tremendously to society.

This isn't complete protection for employees though. A blind person is not likely to be hired as an air traffic controller, for example. And they're not likely to be retained if they were an air traffic controller and developed blindness.
That's not how OP used it. OP wants to express constraints on data through ML-style type system. They didn't even consider obvious competition s.a. systems like SQL constraints or XSL.

I have no problems with the way you want to interpret this claim. But, really, I'm responding to the article linked to this thread, which isn't about at which point in application to perform the said validation or parsing.
Musk's tech bro army will fight for him no matter what he does.
Feels absurd to see Elon's behaviour being a mimicry of the 90s/early 2000s forum mods power trips: be snarky, assert your dominance and power over the users, ban the ones that disagree with you. It's the same exact pattern of behaviour, what has gone so wrong in Musk's life? I really can't comprehend.

Pretty sad existence, even with all of his toys.

I'm seeing them very available in "bulk" out of China. Not much "pseudo-branded" out of India/elsewhere yet. Specifically looking at:

- Semaglutide: $10/month

- Tirzepatide: $60/month

- Liraglutide: $87/month

For unbranded/unlabeled Chinese "bulk" material, but packaged into consumer-ready vials, 2mg-10mg per vial. BYO QA/QC though, as with all non-FDA drugs. That's the huge catch, and it sucks for consumers. Testing just for active ingredient is >$100 and takes about a month. Testing for proper buffering agents, harmful contaminants, microbial contamination, etc is essentially unavailable at all.
I'm confused by one of the Musk tweets in the earlier "exit interview" thread referenced: https://twitter.com/anothercohen/status/1632931816750346242

Has he not actually seen Office Space? Does he not know that the guys going "what woud you say you actually do here" are the clueless consultants who don't really understand how the business works? Or am I the one who is either misremembering, or fallen out of touch with what memes mean these days?
I've been SIM-free for a while now. It Just Works™
That's validation, my man. Which was the whole point of this.
We are now below $.02 per gigabyte, at $.014-ish at single-unit prices for CMR drives, more or less tracking linearly that last leg of the curve. My guess is that there is a lot of price elasticity in hard disk drives (and that margins aren't as thin as we could hope - which is good, because it allows more R&D spending).

Digital (il)literacy for ancient hardware, like printers
Someone's interview didn't go well I see.
There’s an entire category of developer that concerns themselves with stuff like this, and I wonder if they know you can be a successful dev and not care one bit about taking your imports this seriously, and instead just grabbing libraries from npm.

It strikes me as the difference between knowing why your role exists and not realizing you deliver organizational value, over engineering perfection.
Bizarre to see this submission flagged. Not only is it directly related to technology, it is a fascinating discourse on what "work" is, at least in Elon Musk's incompetent vision.

That this is flagged is completely unsurprising. Musk's pathetic army of supplicants have reached the stage they hit with Trump where they are so incredibly embarrassed by his antics, yet think they've painted themselves in a corner supporting him, that they try to even suppress the whole topic. That to talk about them is some sort of derangement syndrome, lest people actually note how utterly insane, incompetent if not criminal their heroes are.

To be an Elon Musk apologists now betrays that someone is just a horrendous human being. Absolutely used toilet paper levels of humanity.
those 15 year old talking points from "the more you know"-talking points financed by transnational entertainment exploiters just won't die, will they?
Ooooh, the most famous and playable game for the East German KC85/3!

Looks like this is a re-implementation in Javascript.

Alternatively, here's the original KC85/3 version in an emulator:

https://floooh.github.io/tiny8bit/kc853.html?mod=m022&file=k...

...to start a game round, you first need to press Enter before the arrow keys can be used to move the little chap around.

There were also other Boulderdash clones for the KC85, which were a bit closer to the original, like: https://floooh.github.io/tiny8bit/kc853.html?mod=m022&file=k...

That scrolling effects in the diamonds is actually a very clever hack using the KC85/3 color blinking feature where the blink frequency was controlled by a CTC counter. When I finally figured out how it works I was so excited that I wrote a whole blog post about it: https://floooh.github.io/2017/01/14/yakc-diamond-scroll.html
You seem to misunderstand what is meant by "dating down" and the refusal of women to do so. It's not a problem of philosophical compatibility and non traditional roles.

If I like fast cars and I'll I've ever been exposed to is your average beater, then it wouldn't take that much to excite me. A sporty commuter might even do it.

But if I've been consistently exposed to supercars, or if I even own one myself, then it will take a much more impressive vehicle to excite me.

Fundamentally, I'm still attracted to the same thing regardless of my situation: fast cars..but one scenario leaves me wanting a lot more than the other.
Okay but that’s what the government hopes will happen… They don’t object to TikTok the concept. They object to the PRC having influence or control either real or potential.

Several days later, continue to hear nothing from openai about deleting my account.
A longer time chart is more instructive: https://si.wsj.net/public/resources/images/OG-CM820_JHOUSI_4...

Thanks for pointing out that prices are rising, I may have misspoke. But the key point is that relative to other major cities Tokyo's prices are not rising anywhere near as fast. The chart from 2000 to 2019 was basically flat, and even from the lowest point maybe a ~15% rise

I expect even the current rise is dwarfed by rises in comparable cities
> There are a few arguments why adding sparse search doesn't require too much extra specialization

Full-text search != sparse search, that's a naive oversimplification. Btw, sparse search is on Qdrant roadmap, so we should be able to compare it's performance on benchmarks.

> Cross Encoder inference generally doesn't happen in the database itself thus it makes sense to use modules to process the additional ranking logic

That statement makes your argument that `A combined system have better end-to-end latency.` invalid

> Such benchmarks exist as in trengrj's initial response and we are working on them as well.

link or it didn't happen.

In your current benchmarks you advertise everywhere, you're just throwing in disproportionately powerful and expensive hardware. Even a full-scan can give good results under those conditions
You are doing validation! Your type has no properties of a type of prime numbers. You either didn't read the article in OP, or didn't understand what OP was arguing for.

Yes, it's fine, if you want to validate your input in this way -- I have no problems with it. It's just that you are doing validation, not parsing, at least not in the terms OP used them.
Yeah, I had been keeping my eye on render.com, but haven't been using it yet -- I just noticed the price changes, which can be pretty steep for a small project. I was curious if they had been discussed on HN yet.

Now, I'm currently on heroku, and to be honest, the pricing of heroku is not a huge problem for me, although did seem a bit steep. (With a small/medium sized project for my small non-profit employer, I pay heroku somewhere between 8-10K a year -- kind of a lot for us, but less than sysadmin/devops, and peanuts for heroku).

Render used to seem _incredibly_ lower-priced than heroku, which led some people to suggest that heroku was incredibly over-priced... but perhaps this pricing change shows that in fact render was kind of under-priced. It's hard to say exactly what my spend on render would be if I switched, as the metrics charged are different, and I haven't done the work to estimate.

But I'd guess it's still a bit cheaper -- and honestly even if it were about the same, that would be fine... we're not looking to get off heroku because of price mostly, but because we don't trust heroku's future.

I really don't love the per-developer pricing or the non-trivial bandwidth pricing though. I don't like being incentivized to have fewer developers with access to render. And for a small organization, having predictable pricing that doesn't go up if our bandwidth goes up (not entirely under our control) is huge, and something that heroku gives us... although I realize there are hardly any services that can give you unmetered bandwidth these days, it may just not be feasible.

I would _rather_ have increased compute prices, that are more predictable and stable costs for us, instead of a per-developer or bandwidth increase.
> Cable lacing is definitely old school but it's been the method of choice for major broadcast facilities, stage rigging, CATV installers, NASA engineers, ships and aircrafts for many years

I've worked for a major UK broadcaster for 20 years, and have installed equipment in dozens of core equipment rooms. Early in my career I sat next to a Tag frame (which predated krone blocks for jumpering audio cables), it was part of an old central aparatus room full of analog video cabling from the 1980s or before.

I've never seen such lacing. Maybe it's a US thing, but our Washington office was built in 2005 and doesn't have it either. Cable ties all the way - either plastic or velcro.

To be clear, I understand the desire for truly anonymous services. But after two decades of experimenting and thinking of this problem. I don't think it is possible for an truly anonymous solution that is also ergonomic to use.

Things like briar exist, and for you use cases, existing tools might be enough. Briar is fantastic for communicating with people you know and willing to jump through some hoops be part of a community that is anonymous, secure, and provides lots of ways of making introductions and posts.

But there are reasons why Meta, Twitter, Linkedin and the like are well above any anonymous solution in terms of users.

- Identity (including pseudo identity of anonymous users) is established.

- Spam. There is ungodly amount of spammers out there, as email has shown. If you have played with nostr or scuttlebutt you would also see just how horrible the spam is.

- Account recovery, people are bad with passwords and storing secrets. Very bad. And even the most secure people can get exploited.

- Hosting your data is problematic. Who hosts data which may be illegal? When illegal data is flagged, how does it get purged? Merely being the transit for data is protected in the US, but physically hosting that data is not.

- The vast majority of people are unable to run a persistent service for their identity and content. Even if they are willing, they lack the means. You end up targeting a very small subset of people who are willing, able, and capable of running a service. And that service requires care and feeding. You might end up with millions of vulnerable instances.

- Scalability. No one has come remotely close to solving how one of these solutions would scale to billions of users. Or even tens of millions. DHTs become painfully slow and bloated. Even if a solution did start catching on, it would quickly then fail because the user experience would crater as it gains popularity.

I have become convinced that making an ergonomic briar is impossible without making some concessions.

Complaining that a new and unproven tool's chosen concessions are bad inhibits experimentation.
You mean just as stupid as the richest person in the world who runs like 5 companies to spend his time bullying an employee of Twitter on Twitter? Yup, you're right, it's that stupid.
Carmakers in general (all the ones that matter, anyway) don’t even plan to produce any combustion cars by 2035.

I’m not sure where you are getting it from that this isn’t happening. I mean, it has to happen. Also, E-Fuels aren’t an alternative since they are even more expensive.
12 years regarding infrastructure is nothing. Just a blip. And you want to significantly increase consumption of electricity, while not building any new power plants, nor upgrading grid.
The folks that got it around here were generally young and promising, but no paying position otherwise. They'd keep it for a year or two, pass it on.

See: The Mauryan Empire, various Khmer kings. The Kings were previously Hindu, converted to Buddhism with no conflicts arising from this change. There was no iconoclasm, no discrimination against Hindus, no mass genocide.

> [1]

See the main article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origins_of_the_Sri_Lankan_civi...

In the entire article the word "Buddhism" is mentioned but once.

"Moreover, the British pushed for the dominance of Christianity and the removal of privileging Buddhism in the state government, the main religion followed by the Sinhalese"

> [2]
"Indians played a prominent role in the British administration and became the target of Burmese nationalists. Racial animosity toward Indians because of their skin-colour and appearance also played a role. Meanwhile, the price of rice plummeted during the economic depression of the 1930s and the Chettiar from South India, who were prominent moneylenders in the rice belt, began to foreclose on land held by native Burmese."

Literally nothing to do with their religion

> [3]
"After he seized power through a military coup in 1962, General Ne Win ordered a large-scale expulsion of Indians. Although many Indians had been living in Burma for generations and had integrated into Burmese society, they became a target for discrimination and oppression by the junta. This, along with a wholesale nationalisation of private ventures in 1964, led to the emigration of over 300,000 ethnic Indians from Burma. Indian-owned businesses as well as Burmese businesses were nationalised due to the so-called "Burmese way to Socialism". Many Indians returned and were given 175 kyat for their trip to India."

The common thread between your assertions are that one side is predominantly Buddhist and the other side is predominantly Hindu, however this does not mean the religion is the source of the conflict. Deeper investigation reveals in fact that the conflict was anything but religious. Nationalistic, linguistic, cultural, yes. But not religious. There isn't any bad blood between Hinduism and Buddhism the way there is between Hinduism and Islam.

Stop trying to manufacture a conflict between Buddhism and Hinduism where none exists. These two religions have coexisted for millenia in relative peace, unlike Islam and literally any other religion.

Is there still a gap between the internet and real life?
Simply put, yes! In our increasingly connected world, technology is ubiquitous, but it still operates largely within the digital realm.

The two most common problems for both users and brands are: there is no safe and efficient connection with the physical world and the industry is fragmented with too many devices and services.
Personally, the discrepancy between the internet and real life is made up of the structural differences that online interaction involves fewer nonverbal cues and greater potential for anonymity than offline interaction.

What if you can stay connected without disclosing your personal information?
What if you can turn your physical asset into a point of activation?
What if you no longer need to trade your privacy for relevancy?
