Not really. The people who worked the hardest got nothing.

My grandfather worked ~20 years in mines. That was very hard work. He got nothing for it. The house he had to turn in (wasn't his) when the war (WW2) broke out. He had 5 kids (which was not a particularly high number). He managed to make it work by making wood furniture (mostly windows and window related stuff). He didn't make much from that either, but more than in the mine. He claims it was MUCH less intense work.

After the war, he got a job as a police officer. He did essentially nothing for another ~45 years (yes, he worked from 11 to 67 I believe). He's not rich but on that wage he eventually got 13 kids total (Christmas parties no longer fit in their house once half his kids got married), put 3 through university, and all of them through higher education.

We don't pay for hard work. Not back then. Not now. Plumber still makes a lot less than software engineer, and software engineer is not hard work.
> The standard is what every other plug-in hybrid on the market offers.

Ah so a strait up lie then.

> I'm pretty sure you are just arguing for the sake of arguing at this point. You haven't added anything useful.

Aside from giving you an example of a 10 years old hybrid with the kind of all-electric range you exclaim had never existed before, which you just decided to ignore entirely as you spouted a bunch of baseless assertions in not-support of your destruction of objective language?

Have you considered reading your comments?
It's not entirely clear what year those numbers refer to. Overall, the 2019-2022 period seems to have been extremely unprofitable: https://www.latimes.com/sports/ucla/story/2023-01-26/ucla-at...

But even IF this were a profitable activity, should a university really be in the business of running an enterprise that literally causes irreversible brain damage (Story about USC, but undoubtedly applies to all football programs: https://www.si.com/college/2020/10/07/usc-and-its-dying-line...)?
N-shot at inference-time is fundamentally different from training/fine-tuning which is inherently pre-inference-time.

Your quoting was rather disingenuous. How could you not quote the last line (regarding how much of their budget comes from this source), when you quoted almost all the rest regarding federal funding?
Including SpaceX. Starlink is a cute and a useful consumer product, but most of their balance sheet is defense money or giving rides to nasa.
It's cheaper and easier to install a smart panel than to upgrade your service. You probably only need >100A service if you run your oven, dryer, aircon & car charging simultaneously. A smart panel will ensure that never happens. A cheaper alternative to a smart panel is the "Dryer Buddy" and competitors.
US does not have such cards, that is why they have issues with voter verification. Most countries have free IDs for citizens.
Ninja editing this stuff is par for the course at Twitter, as are impromptu decisions, reversals of those decisions and reversals of the reversals. If you want to keep track of stuff you need to screenshot and timestamp it.
We need a PKI run by the governments. National ID cards that are smart cards. Cryptographically sign any and all digital communication. Self-signed certificates could still be used with TOFU.

However, I'm not sure if total loss of pseudonymity is less of a horror scenario.
The regulations need to be changed, it makes no sense that you can’t buy small pickups in the us like the Toyota hilux.
Some of the difficulty is also because smaller companies are wary about interviewing and hiring people who will leave as soon as the market bounces back. They want a unicorn candidate who is "perfect" technically, will accept significantly less money than their current/previous job, and won't run off to double their TC at a big tech company in 12 months.

When you apply all these filters you're left with... no one.
Usually more sensitive to price I think? Many IOT devices plug into wall outlets. For those that don't, I would expect the wireless capability to dwarf the power consumption of the chip itself, but it seems like newer fabs would definitely be a good thing.
Its indeed interesting future ahead of us, curious what will come out of it.
> I could also make an argument that these numbers are actually understated but that's not the point. These are supposedly stable currencies. A person who has saved up ~100K Euros by January 2022 now only has ~90k Euros in January 2023. That's some pretty significant volatility.

And? Is it even coming close to the volatility of the most popular coins?

With good reason! Deflation is one of the greatest worries in any economy.

My first thought. How much in easy loans have his companies received from the government?

This is just rich people hating on the industry that publicly critiques them.
That at that time would not have been a bad take.

The big telcos were handing out data in miserly amounts and eye bleeding prices (think 50 bucks for 1MB then another 30-50 for SMS). AT&T was willing to pair with an unlimited plan set the iPhone wildly ahead of all the other phones in that category. VZ messed up big on that one. They were touting how amazing their network was meanwhile their competition was letting people surf the net from their phone. VZ was meanwhile still charging silly rates for SMS. Meanwhile I could open a connection on an iPhone and use an online chat service or the unlimited SMS. All of the other phones from that time could do similar things. It was the per month charge that people balked at to do simple internet things. Then on top of that it was apple so it had a bit of cool to go with it. I personally think though without that data plan the thing would have been a dud.
I tend to get about 5% more mpg when I use ethanol free so for me so it offsets that additional cost a bit.
Rights have been abrogated in the past. AI will change the way we treat original creations. Consider the following historical example:

>The maxim "Cuius est solum, eius est usque ad coelum et ad inferos," which is Latin for "Whoever owns the land, owns everything up to the sky and down to the depths of the earth" was used to describe that a property owner has complete control over the land they own, including everything above and below it.

...

>In the United States, the Supreme Court case United States v. Causby (1946) addressed the issue of airspace rights and established the concept of "navigable airspace." The court held that property owners have exclusive control over the airspace above their land up to a "reasonable" altitude that is necessary for the operation of aircraft.

>Since then, other cases and laws have further defined the limits of property owners' rights to airspace, including the Federal Aviation Act of 1958 and subsequent amendments. These laws and court decisions have essentially set aside the idea that property owners have complete control over the airspace above their land in order to accommodate the needs of air travel.

Is the ID requirement a leftover from the Nazi era? I don't suppose Germany ever issued a blanket repeal of all the laws passed during that error.
Railroad land is specifically exempted from adverse possession under Oregon law.

The legal gray area seems to be that it’s not clear where the railroad land begins because it’s determined by the shoreline which fluctuates with the water level.

Although Union Pacific probably has enough authority to evict the squatters. It sounds like nobody wants the expense and political fallout of dealing with the problem.

Since it's tax season... Did you ever benefit from a tax credit on your return? Should we consider you state-affiliated?

Less than 1% of their funding is from the government.

Tesla received billions in government subsidies... Is it state-affiliated?
Those member stations choose to spend that money on NPR content. They are under no obligation (aside from standing contracts) to continue to give that money to NPR in the future. They could opt to license programming from other sources.

That's like saying a federal employee who chooses to donate some of their income to NPR is giving them government funding.
Larger more capable LLMs display agentic power seeking behaviours. Open AI admitted as much, Anthropic has a whole paper on it. This is the here and now.

I also love how your solution is exterminate after its been created. You couldn't make this stuff up.

If you think find, antagonize and destroy is the safe option then I don't know what else to tell you. We really are doomed.
adoptedStylesheets will help with that. Already you can mix them in from any source, it’s just plain text.

Also the styles may contain variables and those can be inherited. So the design can be shared even if you aren’t pulling in shared styles.
I thought the OP was complaining that the horrors in Syria weren't reported enough. From your post I gather that the objection is there is too much reporting on the horrors of what is happening in Ukraine, and you'd prefer to use the example of Syria to justify less reporting on things like, for example, the thousands of Ukrainian children that Russia is holding in camps and not returning to their parents [1]. That's pretty horrifying.

I suspect this is a bad-faith argument, but just to be clear, NPR get's a tiny fraction of its funding from the government *and* maintains editorial independence.

> The news organization says that is inaccurate and misleading, given that NPR is a private, nonprofit company with editorial independence. It receives less than 1 percent of its $300 million annual budget from the federally funded Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
A little? It's a pretty strong word :-)

I agree with what you said, but I would have thought that was common knowledge. Your interests should always outweigh the company's. Anyone believing otherwise is eventually going to get an unpleasant surprise.
Grocery stores traditionally or supposedly only make 1% to 3% profit. These days it's probably 1%. So I'd say 1% is a lot if it's the thing keeping the company from going under if that income disappears.
Elon might be kind of an idiot sometimes killing somebody over what he did is utter ridiculous.

And this is about Tesla, Musk personal wealth doesn't matter. Tesla does not have infinite money, no more then any other company.
for some reason I'm annoyed by all the @ symbols in these new things
Terms sound acceptable to me. They're constantly decrying how it's full of hate speech due to Elon anyway. Time to take a stance against "hate-speech" right?

Just fyi, simultaneously saying your funds from the government are minuscule while also saying you shouldn't have them cut is just a whole lot of cognitive dissonance. Also, that in fact means you're state-affiliated and funded.
I think one of the reasons is that as others have said - they know their lane and stick to it - sports apparel. Nike doesn't try to take over all your interactions, doesn't try to own your life and doesn't grow beyond its domain.

Shit, even within its own domain, it's failed with some projects long-term (Nike Golf clubs come to mind). They stay relevant by signing young upcoming athletes, some of whom go on to become known worldwide in sports that are popular worldwide like Soccer, Basketball, and Tennis.

Nike does not have a platform, and in a roundabout way also benefits from their competition doing well (the more people that are active, the larger the potential customer base is). FB/Meta does not have that luxury - to them, if you're not on their platform, you're useless. Nike does not have that problem.

Nike wants to own the experience when you're doing something athletic or casually physical (walking around). There's a limit to that as even pro athletes aren't physically active all the time. Since so much of our lives have a technology component to it, Meta wants to own that whole ecosystem , which is much more ambitious than anything Nike ever tried or will try.
> So I believe we put too many people in jail for too long. I think our justice system is pretty broken. Having said that, to fix it I never thought of just letting people commit crimes like areas in California seem to be doing. That's just as asinine but in the other direction.

> I never imagined letting people commit crimes with no fear of any repercussions.

This is a myth. Police everywhere prioritize violent crimes. Jails and prisons everywhere prioritize retaining violent criminals and when they have to, attempt to release the lowest risk offenders. When people have been prematurely released from jail it is not out of misplaced compassion. Mostly people are being released because the system is already at capacity. In fact many jails in the U.S. are well above capacity before they decide to release people. Some as much as 150%

No matter where you are, a lot of violent crime goes un-solved. That has been true for decades. People cover up their crimes and many are reasonably good at it.

The rise in crime during and following the pandemic has been significant for small, medium and large cities regardless of the policies adopted by those cities and regardless of the overriding politics of the state they are situated in.
Can we go back to RSS with great apps to get our news?
I’m not sure about the math, but in a broad sense I like the definition of intelligence as inclusive of other agents. Those who can interface with other people, other resources, or even other versions of themselves are bound to be more “productively intelligent” from at least a qualitative point of view.
Thank you, that's exactly what I was looking for, specific info on perf.
Not that rss really needs replacing - in fact using both is a great experience
If the public funding isn’t important to them, then don’t take it and become truly independent. Or keep the funding and be open about it.

I suspect most of NPR's followers are fine with their public funding, it's literally in the name. They're probably more upset about all their corporate funding.

Tesla’s funding is neither here nor there; it’s not a news outlet.
He curiously missed Al Jazeera, RFE/RL, and the dozens of media organizations that the NED subsidizes. I don't think there's a conspiracy or anything, I just think he has a grudge against a handful of media companies.

> Another thing to consider: cloud providers are not very interested in individuals as customers

A key theme in the "cloud vs data center" story is that most public cloud providers (AWS, etc...) were really easy to sign up, requiring a CC and nothing else.

Meanwhile, hardware vendors wouldn't even talk to you as an individual / small business.
What's really the most astonishing thing about all of this is that one of the top 10 brains in the United States is doing this administrative bullshit in the first place. A well run society should find a way to hire someone to do this for him.

Twitter is a media company.

EDIT: lots of discussion around this. Twitter is literally a social media company. You can split hairs on whether the “media” part of “social media” agrees with your bias here.
The very fact that it's possible for it to not work out makes it a deceptive term because it's not a "lifetime license".

If you actually buy software, there is no possibility that the company can take it away from you.
I think we can both agree that the heavy degree of reporting in Ukraine is a good thing.

I don’t think you fully appreciate the value of the training corpus.
No, because if you forbid the dissemination of nuclear research and materials then it's very difficult even for highly-resourced organizations (e.g. government of Iran) to produce nuclear devices, but if you would tomorrow forbid the dissemination of all future "AI research" then there are probably a million of people worldwide who would each be able to recreate the "dangerous capabilities" based on what they already have in their heads and current laptops, as long as someone gives them a few million $ worth of commodity (and thus not restrictable) computing hardware.

Nuclear technology is tricky to get working even if you have decent scientists and all the published research about basic principles. For current ML tech, a big point is that the core techniques are really simple, the simple textbook methods work at large scale, you don't necessarily need any special sauce which could be restricted. Yes, there is a lot of engineering work that goes into a full system to scale it efficiently, but all of that can be replicated by any decent bunch of engineers, unlike nuclear weapons.

The cat is out of the bag; you can't put the genie back in the bottle, all the "sensitive knowledge" you'd need to restrict AI is already known by at least a few CS undergrads in every single university in the world.
I see it as a step forward.

The physical world is what we are fully integrated into as embodied beings along dimensions we do not yet and may never understand. It is the only space that has an inherently scarce quality, which seems to be something we need as humans. IMO technology should enable us to deepen our connection in the "real world," not isolate us in piss poor representations built on the belief that we are merely mind-bearing mechanical vessels to be manipulated.

AI is going to drive us back to fully-embodied living, and that's good.

Various companies in China are on US embargo lists because they are state-affiliated. Parsing out "media" companies is just hyper-targeting of ire. All companies that post tweets are effectively media. So why only highlight "news media" on a publication app such as Twitter?

Combine that with AI to emulate their voice, and AI renderings to use photos of their face to render a 3d model that moves it's lips and face realistically as it talks (both of which already exist). Yeah, you could with today's technology "bring back" a loved one and be able to talk to them, even verbally, and see and hear them respond and even have some shared history in common, if it was in the training set.

It could send you greetings automatically on your brithday.

Heh yeah even in the mid 2000s I at one point lived directly across the street from the office. I would get calls sometimes on the weekend to the tune of "hey man can you just run in real quick and check something for me?" because it was just such a PITA to use remote tools in those days. I think the tool of that era was WinVNC IIRC, though there were slight improvements every other year or so until RDP became the defacto standard.

Also, at work you generally had much better equipment, a bigger monitor, and later multiple, etc. Nowadays the reverse may be true. I asked the office for a replacement monitor after one of mine kicked the bucket, and they sent me home a 1920x1080 monitor, which compared to my thunderbolt and 2560x1440 dell, looked like a window back in time 10 years.
