Given Tesla were the first to use a "Giga Press" [1] to mould the chassis, I very much doubt your claim. They innovated significantly. Most car manufacturers use Bosch components all over the place, if that's what you're getting at.

I think there are better ways to make the world a better place than wanting someone you don't like to fail. Besides, there's often an ulterior motive - not just for wanting that person to fail, but also for telling yourself that they are "bad for society".

The history of fuel cell cars doesn't exactly paint a happy picture...

I think its critically important we have managed to profitably make EVs at scale - no one has ever turned a profit on fuel cell cars, and indeed often sold them at enormous losses. See any of the ones Toyota shipped - the Mirai is sold at an incredible loss.

This isn't to say these can't be fixed, but the best fuel cell cars simply haven't been as good as the best EVs to date accross a number of objective/subjective measures.

Many companies require staff to leave immediately upon tendering their resignation - including non-IT companies like mine. You tender your resignation and all your access is removed within 24 hours. I work for a utility company that manages what the Department of Homeland Security classifies as 'National Critical Infrastructure', i.e. generation plants, transmission, distribution, metering, and FERC mandates your access is cut off ASAP. You'll get paid for your last two weeks, but you can't do anything.

My friends in health and finance have said they have similar mandates. Us folks in IT can mess up too many things to be granted continued access. We need to be cut off.

Even prior to working for a utility I've worked at places where people were escorted off the property by security when they tendered their resignation. Their personal items in their office would be packed up and shipped to them. This has been going on for decades.

There was one job I had where I was so well-liked and we had considerable mutual respect that I was still granted visitor access to the facilities, meaning I required an escort. I no longer had access to any of the systems, but I could guide those who did. That worked out really well, too. Heck, they negotiated an extra six weeks instead of two and paid me 50% more to boot! That made a helluva impression at my new company! Then I got a great sign-on bonus at my new company! Boy, those were the days!
This - over specialism is career suicide. Most places I've worked have a maximum of three tiers of skillset in their mix, namely devops to handle CI, prod, etc back end devs for caring about API side stuff, and frontend for giving a damn about the users.

I realise this sounds basic, but that's the point: almost all of those things are everywhere. Bury yourself in a tiny slice of one of those things and you've become un-or-over qualified for most of the market.
Well OK, how about a case where a convicted fraudster is unable to pay the financial penalty that was imposed on them?

In the early 1900s, three Japanese fountain pen companies were founded: Sailor (1911), Namiki (1918), and Platinum (1919). Namiki changed its name to Pilot in the 1930s, but some Pilot pens are still sold under the Namiki brand.

I have pens from all of these companies and they are some of my favorite brands.

> I'm old enough to remember we were all "science" supposed to be entirely underwater by now.

The science never really said that. Bad PopSci reporting did. The science said that was a worst case possibility. Kind of "if we do the worst things possible as much as possible, then this is the worst case scenario".

Then you read hacks--and paid disinformation spreaders, which we have documentation of various oil companies in particular doing I might add--reporting that as if it was a sure thing. Because clickbait isn't a new concept.

Also - we actually DID change what we did. We did things like ban CFCs, etc. It made a significant difference to models! Hooray us for doing the bare minimum.

We're not quibbling over millimeters, not unless you're completely misunderstanding or misrepresenting the topic anyhow. We're pointing out the rate of change is increasing and we haven't even seen the worst case effects yet (like CO2 release from the oceans, Greenland melting, etc).

The global temperature is going up, rapidly, and we're at the point were these effects are already starting to be seen. That's... a tipping point.
Both statements are hella cynical and 10000% true.
Within the context of the Ukraine conflict some elements do come up, but this is in general the "Near Abroad" doctrine - which has been a very public Russian policy since the 90s, as was seen with Russian handling of Chechnya, Abkhazia, the Tajik Civil War, and the first Azeri-Armenian War.

Duginphilia has always been much more of an ethnic Russian far-right phenomenon (so Chechen militias raised by Kadyrov and the Buryat+Sakha conscripts in the Z trucks that are committing war crimes are excluded), which unsurprisingly were the same groups thaat have been fighting in Donbas from 2014-22.

Yet bigger picture, Dugin's book viewed the PRC as an existential threat to Russia (unsurprising due to the multiple near wars the USSR and PRC almost fought in the 60s and 70s). If Dugin had any credence, Putin wouldn't have signed the Russia-China Strategic Partnership in 2013-14, which has been upgraded to a full fledged economic and political alliance in the aftermath of the 2022 invasion; Putin+Medvedev wouldn't have caused a standoff with the JSDF from 2011-2013 when Cruise Missles were deployed on the Kuril Islands and the JSDF and VVF were scrambling with each other; nor would Putin have allowed BRI investments in Central Asia (Russia's Near Abroad). All these policies are direct contradictions to Dugin's core thesis (China bad. Make Japan our friend to make an axis against China threatening our Near Abroad)

> I assume the IR community you are referring to also were the ones yelling that Russia wouldn't re-invade Ukraine because they were dependent on oil money from the EU.

Which IR community are you talking about? People affiliated to the main American think tanks (eg. Atlantic Council [0] and CSIS [1]) were warning about an escalation to the Russian-Ukraine conflict months before the 2022 Invasion began. If you are talking about "Geopolitics Commentators" on CNN, NYT, WaPo, Fox, Youtube, etc they're out of the loop. For IR Policy, the DoD, DHS, Senate+House subcommittees would go straight to the think tanks to be briefed (and have a backchannel to initiate diplomacy).

Yeah, your intuition that this would destroy cohesion is correct.

It's basically not possible to do what you are trying to do in an async manner. With advancements in large batch gradients, it might be possible to do some sort of synchronous P2P gradient averaging.
A useful thought experiment is to consider why things might exist in the first place.

Credit serves lots of useful functions in the economy, and has done since ancient times[1]. Consider someone (say a farmer) who needs to make investments (seed, fertilizer, equipment etc) that will pay off in the future (when the crop is harvested and sold). It would be very much harder for them to run their business if they could not borrow, or forward sell their produce (which is an agreement that requires credit as a basis).

Or consider a merchant who needs to import or export goods. While the ship is at sea, either the buyer or seller almost certainly requires credit.

Think about very large assets (eg houses). Most people who buy property require a loan. To buy a house for cash where I live would require a literal lifetime of saving - where would you live in the meantime? You would need to rent. How would your landlord be able to buy a property if they could not borrow? If you did eliminate borrowing to purchase property literally only the ultra-rich would own property and they would own all the property. This would enforce an extreme unfairness that would be self-perpetuating as it would be practically impossible to transition from the renting to the owning class. This is similar to Europe in the early medieval period when hereditary landed gentry owned all the property and as a result the vast majority of people lived lives of abject poverty.

In general if credit did not exist, economic activity as a whole would be severely curtailed.

Do people use or extend credit unwisely? of course they do. Should it be done away with? Probably not, or not without understanding the profound implications this would have across the economy.

"Possible" and "beneficial" are separate questions entirely.

The whole point of government is to be a central authority. That's the DMV's entire job: to be a central authority for driver's licenses and vehicle titles. Their database isn't open for everybody to modify, and it also shouldn't be. It also shouldn't be open for everybody to read, because we have a right to privacy.

What benefit does the DMV get from hosting its records on a blockchain? And what happens if that blockchain stops attracting miners? Does the DMV have to mine it? Does the price of mining rigs start to affect how much it costs to register your car? What happens if they get hit by a 51% attack?

Your average Californian is definitely not a crypto user, and doesn't have a digital wallet. One in twenty don't even speak English. What happens when somebody loses their private key? If you have to keep those keys in a conventional database, then a blockchain makes zero sense except as a money-waster.

There is nothing wrong with them just running a regular database, with normal SRE stuff like backups and replication. The California DMV has a lot of problems. But "how do we store records?" isn't one of them.

Can confirm, defence (related) and security clearance requirements largely limit the applicant pool. One, because for some reason Lockheed is dirty while Palantir or Facebook isn't. And because a lot of people are, by virtue of country of birth, ineligible of getting a security clearance. Also decent money and job security.

But while I draw my moral.line at small arms (those have the nasty habbit of ending everywhere, and the likes of Heckler and Koch have their long list of export scandals), others draw their line at weapons in general. Both view points are fine, as is working for the likes of SIG Sauer.

I'm sure there is a negligence or recklessness standard that an overzealous prosecutor can apply here.

> the experience will clear a lot of the rosy clouds about what backpropagation and gradient optimisation can really do.

I'm not seeing any "rosy clouds" in his description. Gradient descent is a search in model space for one that best models "meaning" relations in the data, among other things. We all know that GPT is not conscious, but it doesn't need to be. It seems obvious that it is recognizing abstract patterns and relations in the data that match our metaphorical comprehension of words and phrases, because it was designed and trained to do that, on human language that is filled with metaphorical relations. This is incredibly sophisticated mechanical pattern recognition with many layers.

> Other explanations of its behaviour are fantasies.

GPT is a type of deep neural network and the explanations I've seen in this thread have been along those lines.
This is a dumb comment. Leading with stretched claims that are then clarified in the fine print is different than outright lying. No one who did a modicum of due diligence bought a Tesla thinking they were getting a completely self-driving car that requires no human input.

There’s a reason why we have specific false and deceptive advertising laws. Most of it doesn’t rise to the level of fraud. Fraud requires a lie and reasonable/justifiable detrimental reliance on that lie.
I interviewed from Jan-Feb pretty much as a full time job. Lots of applications out, maybe 5-10 well-researched applications a day which yielded one or two interviews a day for that time period. Three went to offers and I'm pretty sure I could have closed a few more if I hadn't taken the job I did.

I've done everything from UI to cloud to embedded stuff, but I was mostly focusing on embedded roles thinking that a) I like that sort of work and b) the competition wouldn't be as bad, though Amazon did layoff a lot of device folk in my geographic area.

Salary expectations seemed to be a big thing at companies, and I'd expect that FAANG folks looking to find that sort of compensation at smaller companies are likely to be disappointed or possibly even weeded out at the start.

That said, some companies are definitely low-balling but most seem willing to pay around 'market rate' for folks. I took a slight step-down in pay, but I like what I'm working on and the people and the companies that we offering more money we're offering enough more to overcome that.
> nor can in the future do X

Except it's not impossible or even unusual: look into post office savings and checking accounts. We used to have this in the UK until relatively recently. It's entirely possible and not inherently doomed to corruption.

> then give them the promised returns anyhow by using other investor money (very illegal)

Actually, that is normal accepted business in many cases, and not illegal except in specific circumstances.

Classic example is commercial real estate bonds, where they roll over (the new bonds pay the old bond holders).

Or an IPO looks like a Ponzi, but usually isn't.
we are definitely looking at other cloud providers, and slowly moving our infra away from AWS. I don't have any timeline on that - it's hard to migrate all of our databases, while also keeping up with the features that our community are demanding.
Would you reconsider the stereotyping if I told you I’m a generalist who has worked up and down many kinds of stacks?

It’s proving hard to sell generalist-ness to recruiters this round. They often lock on to the most recent specific domain I worked in. If anything, they seem to be filtering for people with very specific experience in a specific layer of a specific stacks - because they are getting so many applications, they can be very choosy.
