It might work if you can get one officer ahead of the vehicle, waiting for when it goes by, and shoot as it's coming toward you or passing close by. This should be pretty easy if the suspect is driving down, say, an interstate. Call ahead and have someone waiting for him to pass by.

Edit: By "easy" I mean easy to call ahead, not necessarily to hit with the tracker.

In this case I think it's Wired that's lying. Altman didn't say large models have no value, or that there will be no more large models, or that people shouldn't invest in large models.

He said that we are at the end of the era where capability improvements come primarily from making models bigger. Which stands to reason... I don't think anyone expect us to hit 100T parameters or anything.
> Them being morally in the wrong on the detail of slavery doesn't mean they were just making stuff up about the North being "aggressive" and trying to interfere.

This is where I believe you have cause-and-effect entirely backwards (and for good reason): the Lost Cause factions of the South made up all the stuff about the North being "aggressive" after the War, when at every stage of the war it was the seceding states doing all the "aggression".

They were unhappy with the results of the Lincoln-Douglas debates and the election results of President Lincoln. That wasn't "aggression" in any way, shape, or form, that was democracy in action.

They were unhappy with what they saw of the federal government failing to enforce the "Fugitive Slave Acts". "Not policing" isn't an "aggressive" action, it's a lack of action or possibly a failure of action. It might be considered "passive aggression", but even most school children understand the different between passive-aggression and real "aggression".

The act of emancipation itself wasn't even properly on the table in the North which saw little stake in it either way prior to the Civil War. Lincoln was explicitly anti-emancipation in the Lincoln-Douglas debates and the Emancipation Proclamation only happened after severe casualties and a lot of Southern Aggression (which certainly was not passive-aggression in any way, but the actual aggression of war) during the Civil War and it was clear no compromise was likely to be made by the South.

Here's the deal, I grew up in a border zone of Lost Cause rhetoric and I know exactly how common that idea was made, and how much sympathy those lies have tried to engender for the Southern states. I know how critically deep it is tied into those states' ideas of pride and accomplishment and works to keep them from feeling terrible and guilty all the time in modern society. Wishing to believe the North was the "true" aggressor in the Civil War makes all the moral wrongs of being pro-slavery seem like "lesser crimes" than if those states actually look in the mirror of documented facts and properly recognized that they aggressively started a war for pro-slavery. I sympathize with those that don't want to feel in modern society like they live in a state that was so aggressively pro-slavery to start a war on it. I understand how much it does feel better to believe all the propaganda lies of the Lost Cause narrative. I know that's a large part of why those lies exist.

I don't think you are wrong. I think you are, at worst, misguided. I'm not expecting to convince you that I'm right. I don't expect you trust me at all as a guide towards historic facts, because it definitely sounds like you've made up your mind and don't care to change it. I'm pointing out facts for other kids like me in border zones and other weird pockets of Lost Cause propaganda that don't yet know what to believe because they keep hearing both sides without enough force to show that one side always lies and the other side tells truths so painful people prefer the lies. Both sides aren't equal and it isn't just "opinion versus opinion", and more kids need to know that.

As the article says, confounding variables are everywhere here.

Here are a few more I can think of:

- Shouldn’t less dense air also lead to faster throws that are harder to hit,

- but (maybe) easier to hit far?

- hotter air holds less water, making the bats and balls drier, with an effect (I wouldn’t know in which direction) on elasticity.

- on the distances ran in a home run, I guess less dense air allows for faster running. That could change the number of in-field home runs (again, dir3ctuin is hard to judge. It’s not only the base runner who gets faster; the fielders get, too)

- on the other hand, faster throws also means faster throws towards bases, leading to fewer in-field home runs.

- fielders might jump a tiny bit higher at lower air density, allowing them to catch more balls that almost are home runs.

- I expect throwing with effect is harder in less dense air, making it easier for batters to hit the ball, and thus allowing them to sacrifice some hitting accuracy for hitting speed

I've seen this done by Indian Govt in some regions. It made good press there and I guess some politician decided to cash in on the bump. IMO It makes a little more sense in India tho, because of very hot climate & also the far out places that need electricity are also in teh middle of nowhere needing power so makes marginal sense to put generation closer to the last mile. plus labor is cheap so servicing is not really a problem. In California none of those things are in play so the idea is mostly bogus.
If you have a free developer account then you need to redeploy the app to your phone every 7 days. You can only add up to 3 devices to your free account, and there's no way to remove them without paying (at least that I could see when I let my subscription lapse), so good luck if you replace your phone too many times or try to share an app with a family member or friend.

It's not impossible, and perhaps it's easy if you've already hit all the pitfalls and know where they are, but I would not describe it as easy.

"Will be landing uncrewed Starship on Mars in 3 to 5 years"

I assume you quoted this to demonstrate it being inaccurate or wrong. My point is that Starship is theoretically able to do this today. The launch got scrubbed so we're missing confirmation of how ready it is, but presumably there's a high confidence level it's ready for orbital flight because otherwise the wouldn't be launching it just to explode millions of dollars of rocket. And going from orbital flight to ready to land on mars is a pretty simple roadmap and clearly something they'll have within 4 years (5 years from the comment being made)
Not a fan. The good thing about UPC is it shows a human-readable serialized representation: it shows the UPC number.

The QR code has no human-readable element to it. It's a usability issue.

No digg on your response, but I wouldnt touch anything Quora...

You may not recall how Quora came up around these parts, but there was a lot of hubbub around how poorly they were using user-data years back, and golly, the village just up an ran 'em outta town.

Quora had a lot of promise, and then one day they started abusing user-data and privacy, and got all smug and pompous and a lot of people, myself, included, deleted accounts and never looked back.

Quora was, for a fleeting moment, that golden child of SV, but they got too bigg in the head, and thought other people wouldnt notice.

> Access to education has brought lots of people out of poverty

Sure. And if schools had anything to do with education, maybe they could do that here too. But you're also commenting in a thread where there is a link to credible (uncontested, uncontroversially attested) reports that the schools are shutting down education. Purportedly to help make everyone equal.

It's arguable what the cause of this is, the reasoning behind the decisions, etc. But that's what it says. They've started teaching less math. Not teaching it differently. Not teaching it at a different age. They just don't.

It would almost be a relief if you were to dispute the reports themselves, and claimed it was some weird conspiracy theory. This would be more compatible with the attitude that you're expressing.

In the US, schools and education started with little overlap, and have less year to year.
Well if you take a laissez-faire attitude to raising the next generation, allow corporations to fry their brains, turn them into lonely monsters grasping at anything to feel ok, it shouldn't really be a surprising that putting them in front of classified information will come back to bite you.

Most zoomers don't want to join the military (if they're even mentally well enough to join in the first place) because the government actively made an enemy of the people, the fact that anyone is still signing up is more surprising than the fact that someone leaked something.
Yep. I was just trying to fill out a PDF form for my taxes. A complete nightmare. Tried three different PDF viewers that had different bugs or incompatibilities with the form. Finally had to start a Windows VM to run Acrobat, that was the only way to get it done, other than print the blank form and fill it out by hand which in retrospect would have saved me about 40 minutes.

I have been in software and IT for my whole career and I absolutely hate computers now. I want nothing to do with them when I retire, and I'm going to deliberately structure my life accordingly.
There are SO many things that are just not quite right in Adi's video, but it's 90% there and a very decent precis of a machine most people have never heard of.

I take umbrage with the idea that the Lisa was confused about the "Application" metaphor when it really was sort of before Apps were a thing (unless you count Word Star and VisiCalc.) Eschewing the app as the central focus of user engagement is, IMHO, still something worth trying a few more times. But it's clear that it's harder than it looks.

When you watch that video, please remember the Lisa team wasn't competing against the IBM PC or the Apple Macintosh (heck, the Mac hadn't been released yet!) They were competing against the Xerox Star. The Lisa gives you about 50% of the Star's capability at about 12% the cost.

> I just hate writing with a pen - total blocker for me to get words on paper

I don't know your details, and your experience could stem from something like dysgraphia. But I personally did not have any such difficulties and still strongly preferred keyboards to ballpoint pens, until I discovered fountain pens. Within a few weeks of practicing taking notes with a fountain pen I found my handwriting improving dramatically, with much less wrist/hand strain--rediscovered a love of handwriting. (Writing with a fountain pen _requires_ less pen pressure on the paper, and writing with liquid ink moves much more fluidly and expressively than most ballpoint pens.) Might be worth a try at some point. I still type all day for my job, but don't flinch at the idea of taking pages of notes at a conference or church service, and I enjoy writing handwritten letters once again.

If you genuinely need ferrite beads to solve your problems, the real solution is use Ethernet. Ethernet has already taken care of all the signal integrity issues as long as you follow the design guidelines from the application notes.

You don't do this kind of thing with ferrite beads unless you need genuine high frequency isolation--generally because you are using a high precision ADC/DAC. A small resistor is more than good enough to round this off on an I/O pad.

I always put a small (47 Ohm, 33 Ohm, or 22 Ohm) resistor in series with any digital "clock" line nowadays (SPI-SCLK, I2C--SCL, etc.). Modern chip processes can launch edges with GHz components onto clocks that are operating at KHz. I have had to debug quite a few "double clocking" faults and invariably just putting a small series resistor does a nice job of completely avoiding the problem.

Exactly. I try things with my son and observe if he's ready or not. There's no rush, nobody will care at 30 if you were a year "late" learning X. For example, I'm very skeptical of the trend of trying to teach advanced/abstract math to kids earlier and earlier. If they're that one in 100 and they are interested, sure. But in your late teens you just have so much more brain power, you'll easily catch up. I remember being intimidated in CS undergrad by the ubernerds, who had been coding since they were 6.

I don't think these comments are driven from financial incentives. It's a distraction and only a fool would believe Altman here. What this likely means is they are prioritizing adding more features to their current models while they train the next version. Their competitors scramble to build an LLM with some sort of intelligence parity, when that happens no one will care because ChatGPT has the ecosystem and plugins and all the advanced features....and by the time their competitors reach feature parity in that area, OpenAI pulls its Ace card and drops GPT5. Rinse and repeat.

That's my theory and if I was a tech CEO in any of the companies competing in this space, that is what I would plan for.

Training an LLM will be the easy part going forward. It's building an ecosystem around it and hooking it up to everything that will matter. OpenAI will focus on this, while not-so-secretly training their next iterations.

No, it wouldn't. The capacity factor for a small, unidirectional turbine in non-laminar flow is going to be somewhere between 0 and 15% depending on how lucky you are with the prevailing wind direction. Small turbines also tend to be quite noisy. There was a small unit that was sold by a Canadian solar/wind installer that was named the 'Whisper', but we privately called it the screamer (and it was one of the main reasons we ended up building our own turbine, all of the ones that were on the market were small, loud and inefficient because they were all fixed pitch).
The annoying anecdote I've heard about airtags is that even if they lose your luggage and you go to them saying you can literally pinpoint exactly where it's at in the airport, they refuse to deviate from their existing broken system to retrieve it for you. And I believe some airlines have explicitly forbidden airtags in luggage, likely for the exact reason of it highlighting how stupid this process is.

Funnily enough, Egyptian hieroglyphs were in fact phonetic: they just used recognizable pictures instead of abstract symbols to represent the sounds. It's possible they were sometimes used as ideograms too, but not the standard.

Chinese ideograms are not phonetic, because seeing the written character gives you no indication of what the sound of the spoken word is.

In your example, you can just add a variable that is incremented at every step and then use it to state your invariant that convergence must happen within 5 steps.

Rather than worry about this little tracking peculiarity, my mind wanders to a future where the govt is smart/capable/evil enough to be connecting all the cameras in buildings, cars, etc. into one place that constantly monitors for license plates and is able to tell:

-- backtracking where someone who committed a crime came from, and has gone

-- etc.
