Ah, I see. I have't read your comment properly, I guess.

That's a fair point, it really seems that comparing sets in general only makes sense in terms of bijections, which makes infinite sets as comparable as finite sets.
Most cell providers sell your location info to a third party broker to pad earnings. Then it gets resold in smaller and smaller amounts down the chain.

If your crazy ex wants to know where you were last night, they can jump in a telegram group run by someone at a PI firm reselling their access on the side and it'll cost less than your dinner did.

FWIW, this is more true for CA than most states.
I agree and it's also cheaper to house them in prison for life without parole than to do a murder trial, get them convicted and executed.

So the system might be wrong about the conviction which is just an absolutely terrible thought and it's cheaper to skip the death penalty.

So the only real possible benefit is that it could be 1) a deterrent and 2) closure for the family.

But it seems life without parole is a pretty strong deterrent in itself. And part of the closure that the family perceives in an execution is, just a guess on my part, the fact that it takes so long and is emotionally draining that the family is also going through the long laborious process of a capital punishment conviction and execution.

If you don't have a death penalty, what's the sense of closure a family gets knowing they got life without parole?

I don't like death penalty because humans err and innocent people get killed, but I'm curious if the closure aspect of the death penalty is actually related to that process and not the closure they might get if they know they got the best possible conviction in a life without parole situation.

In other words - if the death penalty is removed, it seems plausible that a family could get the same or more closure with a life without parole sentencing as they avoid the emotional and mentally draining death penalty case and process.

Launch coverage was started and supported internally by SpaceX engineers and all the commentators are engineers who work on the rockets themselves. But I guess they are all paid corporate shills, not people who have spend many years working hard on a project and are exited about it.

> I really miss NASA launches

Those still exists ...

Not everything has to be the same. Each company has its own spin on its launch coverage and its own company culture.
> Justice is not done unless people get what is due to them

Even if it's momentarily rewarding, I don't think that's useful from a societal perspective. The justice system should focus on minimizing crime - if punishment does that, fine, but any kind of "getting even" just feeds our base instincts and doesn't accomplish anything.

Emotion has no place in a justice system.
A head-start on the, now deprecated, tech they were implementing. Not on the interface and business idea, which is much more easier to replicate.

From a company with a tech advantage, one that they hoped to capitalize, they are now just a team with a front-end on what's now a publicly availabe commoditized technology - one where a third party controls the state of the art even.

It's a totally different business proposition, and a much less winning one. Not some VC money getting one either.
> It seems like a mistake, the role of the justice system should be to protect the public first and foremost.

No. The role of the justice system is to find truth and render equitable punishment. State-sponsored killing is a one-way door and no court can rule with such complete surety of sufficient guilt and motive to make walking through that one-way door something that can be on the table.

I would support capital punishment for elected politicians and law enforcement, to represent the higher stakes of their breach of the public trust, but that's because those jobs should not be aspirational and the retributive framework for them necessarily differs. But the cases that go to death row in America? It's nonsense.

> Also the death penalty can allow some reimbursement of victims (via blood and plasma donation, etc.), without forced prison labour that causes issues by undercutting normal workers.

This is a deeply ghastly sentiment and deserves no further address.
How are the voices determined? Is there an option or is it just random/based on the prompts like "WOMAN"?

Isn't the solution to charge prison labour employers the federal minimum wage?
Do you believe most of western Europe's vision and implementation of justice is wrong?

There was also a separate DeepMind announcement made by Hassabis:

https://www.deepmind.com/blog/announcing-google-deepmind

It seems that DeepMind has now gone from what had appeared to be a blue sky research org to almost a product group, with Google Research now being the primary research group.

Jeff Dean's reputation has always been as an uber-engineer, not any kind of visionary or great leader, so it's not obvious how well suited he's going to be to this somewhat odd role of Chief Scientist both to Google DeepMind and Google Research.

How things have changed since OpenAI was founded on the fear that Google was becoming an unbeatable powerhouse in AI!
Good. Capital punishment is an embarrassment to the USA, both for morality and because our legal system has proved to be sometimes inaccurate in convictions. Too high of an error rate.

GP is talking about winter sunlight, not year-round numbers. (Longer summer days don't help seasonal affective disorder.) Stockholm sees about 6 hours of daylight at winter solstice, while Seattle sees 8.25.

And Seattle is sort of cherry-picked -- it's one of the northern-most cities in the continental US, representing 1.2% of the US population (including the full metro area). LA sees 9.75 hours of daylight on the solstice. Honolulu sees 10.75 hours.

The US population-weighted centroid is approximately Missouri[1], which sees 9.5 hours of daylight on the solstice -- more than 50% more than Stockholm.

Is there something that would prevent society from imprisoning them for as long as needed

Yes, political change could prevent that.

As a more practical matter, remember that you have a wild spectrum of crimes called "murder". At one end, you have some clueless cop restraining an OD while waiting for the ambulance he himself ordered. On the other end, you have the "hi fi murderers" who forced their victims to drink Drano in order to eliminate witnesses of their rape and robbery. To me, a public policy of keeping the same punishment for both crimes will effect the cost-benefit analysis that even flunky criminals are capable of performing. (Sometimes.)

And partly, it's just a matter of vindictiveness. Someone who kills people by forcing them to drink Drano just needs removed from the species.

That's an irrational evil feeling, but then everyone else seems motivated by irrational kumbaya feelings.

> I had no way to know if my images were all exported.

You had a way of knowing that though. When GIMP lists all the unsaved images, it specifically says which images have been exported and to what files. It does so by appending "(exported)" to the filename (just like in the window's title when you are editing) and mentioning the exported file in the second line.
Both windows failed, not just the one hit by the hammer.
I don't find it to be that shortsighted?

Google Search had an outage yesterday. Google just underwent its first round of layoffs ever which definitely affects internal morale and makes all employees aware of their company's mortality. Google's CEO was in the news last week for hiding communications while under a legal hold. Google stock tanked with the rushed demo of Bard. And, even if all those things weren't true, Google has continually failed to establish revenue streams independent from ads and continually abandons products that don't meet their expectations. Consumer confidence in new Google product announcements is lower than any other major tech company - the default assumption is that the product will be pulled months/years later.

Microsoft is giving their full support to OpenAI through their 49% partnership. $13B investment compared to Google buying DeepMind for $500M and investing $300M in Anthropic. Microsoft has good working agreements with the US government, a long history of unreasonable support for their flagship products, clawed their way back to being one of the most valuable companies in the world by finding diverse revenue streams, and, frankly, comes across as the wise adult in the room given they already had their day in the sun with legal battles.

I agree completely that if there continue to be marked revolutions in AI that invalidate current SOTA then those innovations are likely to arise from Google's research labs, but from an execution standpoint I have nothing but concerns for Google. It's crazy that I feel they need a second chance in the AI revolution when LLMs originated from inside their org just a few years ago. And it's not like they don't feel similarly - there've been countless articles about "Code Red" at Google as they try to rapidly adjust their strategy around AI.

I think OpenAI has a wider leader than people are acknowledging. It's like everyone was forced to show their AI-hand the last couple of months, in an attempt to appease shareholders, and it seemed like a fair fight until GPT4 hit the ground running. Now we're looking at agents and multi-modal support ontop of $200M/yr revenue when everyone else has no business plan and has yet to announce any looming upgrades. At a certain point, first-mover advantage compounds, the foremost AI app store becomes established, and people building commercial products will become entrenched.

Big American trucks are like denim jeans.

They're linked in that "a sense of morality transcend[s] immediate self-interest and fear of punishment" [1]. Retribution links the justice system to our sense of morality. That deters crime.

The research on punitive damages tends to be more clear-headed than anything I've read on criminal law in this matter [2]. (For example, punitive damages provide "aggrieved parties with an attractive substitute for revenge.")

> ChatGPT generates unhelpful, plausible-looking nonsense.

Absolutely not! I created a powershell script for converting one ASM label format to another for retro game development and i used ChatGPT to write it. Now, it fumbled some of the basic program logic, however, it absolutely nailed all of the specific regex and obtuse powershell commands that i needed and that i merely described to it in plain English.

It essentially aced the "hard parts" of the script and i was able to take what it generated and make it fit my needs perfectly with some minor tweaking. The end result was far cleaner and far beyond what i would have been able to write myself, all in a fraction of the time. This ain't no breathless marketing dude: this thing is the real deal.

ChatGPT is an extremely powerful tool and an absolute game changer for development. Just because it is imperfect and needs a bit of hand holding (which it may not soon), do not underestimate it, and do not discount the idea that it may become an absolute industry disrupter in the painfully near future. I'm excited ...and scared
You can still find plenty of amazing vehicles, in great condition in the South of Europe. The weather there is great and cars don’t deteriorate as much. I see plenty of Toyotas and Hondas from pre 97 models. They still cost around 3-4 K EUR probably because they are such an easy maintenance that they will still drive for another decade and that’s priced in.
We didn't use seatbelts or booster seats. We rode in the bed of the pickup, we rode sitting backwards in the trunk of a hatchback, we crammed in 5-wide in the bench seat in the back of a sedan.

Also, there were proto-SUVs like the Chevy Suburban.
Most ARM cases would mean a tremendous amount invested in reverse engineering of binary blobs required to configure network and crypto-accelerators. Also, in most cases, it means no support *BSD like OPNsense and pfSense. That leads to fully proprietary designs, lack of transparency, and limited trustworthiness.

What we were able to realize over the years of writing firmware and researching new solutions for network appliance vendors is that support for accelerators is considered a premium feature and typically is available only behind paywall corporate unobtanium. Consider very respected silicon vendors, such as Marvell [1] or NXP [2].

If you have in mind hardware (no matter if x86, Arm, RISC-V, or POWER) that would be able to mark all checkboxes that PC Engines score [3] with 10G performance, then it would be exciting competition otherwise, we are very far from community expectations, where most BSD users with open-source firmware based hardware choose PC Engines or Protectli [4].

Consider hangboarding [1]. It looks nothing like climbing, but all elite climbers spend an enormous amount of time on this activity. You will find the same in any other sport.

I want you to consider something important: this is an EDUCATIONAL activity. The activity does not exist for you. It exists for the students.

So: what is your learning objective? What do you want to teach the students?

> That video doesn't resemble anything anyone normal would recognize as debate.

Debates don't look like that video until students have 3-4 years of experience in competitive debate.

The thing that normal people recognize as debate is, in fact, a fairly useless educational activity after 3-6 months of participation.

Beyond that initial period, it doesn't teach good oration skills. It doesn't teach good negotiation skills. It doesn't even teach procedural skills that might be useful in a courtroom, boardroom, or even legislature. And it certainly doesn't teach research skills or quick thinking.

Debating for a lay audience is, to put it simply, a shallow and mostly non-transferable skill. At least after the first six months. It IS a useful skill, but spending more than a semester on that skill in the context of competitive debate tournaments is -- to put it mildly -- a massive waste of students' time.

The contrived game in the video above is designed to additionally teach:

1. research skills,

2. quick thinking, and

3. the ability to quickly synthesize a large amount of information into a coherent narrative.

Those skills are useful in boardrooms, in court rooms, and in legislative sessions. They are transferable, most of all, to the vast majority of high paying jobs where you do not spend your entire day talking to people. For example, holding all of that context in your head and quickly forming a narrative to solve a problem (winning the round) has a lot in common with debugging or working through a complicated mathematical model.

And students only progress to this version of debate after they have mastered the basics of persuasive oral communication (what you want to see). To wit: the "speak pretty for normal audiences" type of debate is available in United States. Students who participate in the type of debate in this video regularly enter and win tournaments that have a more lay format. As a joke, for kicks. They have already largely mastered the lay format by the time they progress to the non-lay format. At least, that's true for my students.

> If normal people can't even understand what you're saying they can't possibly be persuaded so you have totally failed at debate.

Normal people don't judge these rounds, so this is largely a moot point. And, again, the students in this video are capable of speaking extremely persuasively to normal people. The fact that they choose to participate in a more pedagogically useful activity doesn't somehow erase their ability to do so.

The Ford Maverick is better than most modern pickups, but still misses the mark. As you mentioned, the bed is significantly smaller than a 1990 Ranger despite being 6 inches longer[1].
