>I can't think of very many people who genuinely enjoy the "smart" aspect of "smart TVs", for example

Count me in the camp that does. My TV runs GoogleOS (Android), and it's great, because I don't need some other device plugged in to do what I want to do with it. There's only 2 things I want from this thing:

1. Playing external media. It has a USB port, so I can plug in thumb drives and play video files from them. The built-in OS works fine for this, and seems to handle any media file or codec I throw at it.

2. Playing YouTube with a good player. Since it's Android, I can load APKs from wherever I want, and so I installed "SmartTubeNext", which blocks ads and sponsor segments automatically. It works almost too well.

I think the mistake most other people make with smart TVs is that they get ones with crappy proprietary OSes, so with those you have no control over anything and can't run any 3rd-party software like SmartTubeNext. Of course, eventually this model could lose support from the mfgr, causing security issues or not being compatible with the apps I want, but for now it's quite nice.
“Fancy” is absolutely the last word that comes to mind when I see one of these touchscreens.
It's interesting to hear that because IHMO one of the reasons OAuth and JWT took over the world is that you can base64 decode the tokens and see whats inside them, compared to Kerb or NTLM which you eventually learn to spot based on their binary headers or whatever (eg NTLM tokens in HTTP Headers always start with "TRIM" for some reason)

I get the problem though, many of the libraries are not great or simply difficult to use
These people deserve a better company, and should seek one. Or start their own.
People dont't simply use CSS and JS to build UI for web apps, they use web frameworks that comes with their share of supported components. And there are also a bunch of these framework to choose from, they come and go.

Could you explain how you use GPT for ocr correction?
There’s a whole lot of “…” between a water molecule and a wave. There is nothing emergent about it. “Emergent” is a bullshit answer.
I've been learning PCB design recently, and I'd like to point out that having the manufacturer do all the surface mount assembly can be surprisingly cheap and it's not all that hard to do.

I'm using Kicad and JLCPCB. Their minimum order is five boards, and if you're doing assembly the minimum is to have two of the five boards populated.

There are some extra hoops to jump through. Kicad doesn't generate the BOM or placement file correctly so you have to edit some column titles in CSV files, and apparently Kicad uses a rotation standard where pin 1 is always in a certain orientation whereas JLCPCB uses a standard where the rotation is based on how it comes off the reel (or something like that), so you have to use JLCPCB's online editor to fix the rotations manually or let JLCPCB's people do it for you.

It's aggravating, but I'd rather do that once than have to manually solder a bunch of boards -- especially if they have a lot of components.

There might be some parts they don't have or they're not in stock, so you'd have to do those manually in any case.
This is very useful, thank you for sharing. Not sure how much longer it would have taken me to discover it if it wasn’t for your sharing :)
To me this looks like it’s about principle of not being denied education if you do not consent to big corp EULAs.
I think 'emergent property' just means it's something that depends on the particular configuration of a set of elements that vanishes if you just look at the elements in isolation. E.g. words are an emergent property of the elements of an alphabet.

It is kind of hand-wavy and you often find the phrase 'holistic' in the same paragraph as 'emergent', which reflects that it's a kind of pushback against entirely reductive approaches, but it really just means that if you want to reconstruct a complex entity (like an automobile) you can't just count up the parts, at each stage of reduction you need to save this set of information describing the relationships between elements if you ever want to reconstruct the overall system from the most fundamental components.

It's essentially just an abstraction, I think. The justification is that you can wrap up complexity into hierarchies of little black boxes that have predictable behavior. E.g.

https://guava.physics.uiuc.edu/~nigel/courses/569/Essays_Spr...

>"The idea of emergence in physics is pervasive especially in condensed matter and cold atom physics. For example, superconductivity and superfluidity are both described by a condensate, which is an emergent state of matter with finite fraction of particles in the ground state and long range order."

The suggestion here (further developed in above paper) is that spacetime is also a kind of 'effective description' based on some other underlying microscopic organized structure, which is a theory that's likely hard to test.
The Tesla screen is incompatible to almost everything else.

It’s fast, its huge, and it looks nice.

The latest design changes have been annoying, but Tesla is far and away the closest to anybody has come to a good touchscreen in a car.

It’s more like using an iPad than using an infotainment system in a car.
It's great to get your perspective on this. Aside from the GPS/navigation features, aren't car infotainment systems extremely basic?

We've been controlling heating, cooling, audio source, and audio volume since the dawn of time.

How are technical requirements related to these basic functions changing such that their UIs haven't been absolutely perfected by now? Is the entire infotainment code being rewritten all the time so there's no chance to iterate and improve on the previous versions work?

I don’t understand what you mean. Here’s how many applied ML papers work: create a new dataset for a novel problem, download a PyTorch model, point model at dataset directory. Is it novel? By construction. Is the ML technique novel? No.
> But near the center of a black hole or in the first moments of the universe, Einstein’s equations break.

Not really. The formation and continuous description of a singularity is somewhat unique in physics, but general relativity continues to provide a description, allowing even accurate descriptions of black hole mergers. The problem with the cosmic singularity is instead a lack of observation of anything before it: maybe our universe really did begin there.

Of course, inflation, dark matter and dark energy are all outstanding questions, but they don't break general relativity, even if they represent some missing extension like general relativity represents to the precession of the perihelion of Mercury.
Just thinking about the numbers. Exhaled air has 4% CO2, while fresh air has 0.04%. But if you inhale air with 3% CO2 that should add to those 4% yielding 7% exhale.

Now, in order to get 3% CO2 in your inhale this would mean that you would have to breathe in 42% stale air (with 7% CO2) mixed with 58% fresh air (~0 CO2).

I wonder if this 42-58 mix is plausible.
After thinking about it a bit, I believe it may be 2 different things.

1) When I learn something, I like daydreaming about it and coming up with a mental model of how it is in my own head. So, having someone else's vision and animations used can screw up my own mental model and make it harder for me to forge connections between concepts.

2) I enjoy rigorous math more. I find it hard to make logical leaps and assume properties about things unless they were previously established as facts. This is why I like analysis a lot, althought I'm not great at it. I think 3B1B is more informal when explaining things, and the lack of rigour confuses me over time. Especially in a longer video.
Honestly I'm not sure.

If the judge rules that Google is a co-employer, then it could be much harder for them to do that. I think that's why the ruling is so important.
It is likely that Rogers agrees to pay Starlink a fee when Starlink acts as a roaming provider for one of their customers, where Starlink has slow and limited speeds but universal coverage. The industry has similar arrangements with roaming networks when you leave your country; some cell providers don't operate any towers at all. Starlink gets the fees, plus the right to transmit the LTE signals in a spectrum owned by Rogers, similar to the T-Mobile deal in the US, and Rogers gets to market that they have universal coverage.
It s unfair to say that I think. First, an artist doesnt only work for money, there is an element of fame and love for the craft that is bigger than in other profession. Then, I mean, nobody forced them to sign a label and if there was a way to make the audience pay more they d have found it by now.

With a label "screwing them", they get more famous, practice the craft more often in front of more people, and get more money out of it.

Because let s be honest, what s the thing you can cut the fastest in your budget ? Movies, music and paintings. It s a difficult profession with a difficult billing. Labels help more than they screw, up to the artists to shop around for one that has good marketing for a cheaper fee.
Is there a good detailed table with features filter for various frameworks?

Not a bubble thing. Many people living paycheck to paycheck watch their accounts. They often know everything that’s hitting and on what day, for several days in advance, and what they need to do, or will try to do, to keep it positive. Transportation costs especially.

It’s the same mental power you have, but for a variety of reasons they’re having to apply it to stave off problems instead of to grow their assets as is more typical among software engineers.
Can confirm. I was one such member of this underclass working as a developer on Gmail in 2007. The pay was quite low by bay area developer job standards at $25/hr with no benefits. I loved the work, the product, the people, my boss, the atmosphere of the Google campus in Mountain View, the free meals, etc, but I only stayed for a month. Once I got a better offer that paid twice as much, I was gone.

To this day it's such a weird story to tell people.

"You worked at Google?"

"Yeah."

"For how long?"

"A month."

"Whoa, really? Why? What happened?"

"The pay was really low so I left for a higher paying job."

"Google's pay... was too low...?" They say with disbelief.

"Yep."
I’ve used car stereos where the physical volume knob was so laggy and buggy that sometimes it would misread its own input and change the volume in the wrong direction unless you turned it very slowly while watching the display to see if it was registering.

> So basically every creator would have to have a rich patron/be funded by a government/etc. who would obviously generally want to impose their own agendas?

Yes I think having domain knowledge (such as Chemistry, Physics etc) is invaluable for real world problem solving. I am a Materials Engineer I see it in my field with ML as well. I think people are starting to understand now that being able to validate the inputs and outputs requires some understanding of the process you are trying to model. i.e. To ensure you aren't proposing things that fundamentally contradict basic Thermodynamics etc.

Even for optimization type modelling you need domain knowledge to design sensible constraints to frame the problem.
Yes, but it's not the economy, it is human society at large. All those little laws, rules and customs are made for old people to exploit younger people. The old people bought in first, just as is the right thing to do when you participate in a Ponzi scheme. So it's only fair that they have have all capital, all entitlements, and all power politically and economically. Play along in the scam and maybe one day also you will get the benefit and pleasure of being old to the game and exploiting young people like suckers. That's what life is all about, and young people only have themselves to blame for not being born when the getting was good.
Please clarify whether you are referring to some proposed law in Brazil or the RESTRICT act being proposed in the USA?
Every n under n list is just PR bullshit.
> it's made up of other, more fundamental things

Then explain those things and prove they exist. Otherwise this just sounds like bullshit.

There’s a difference between observing thermodynamics (and not trying to answer why but rather how we observe it - big difference!) and writing equations we can measure and just saying “it’s emergent” to “…” things we are unable to answer “I don’t know to”.
the thing is, even the brightest of us are still terrible. There’s no such thing as a good software developer
"and exports clean code to be extended"

This is quite the bold promise and I'd use something like this if possible. But I'd rather just have a prototyping tool that I pay for once.

For a maintainable site, I'm not sure if APIs are needed. Maybe for a blog or ecommerce site that you're making an app for? Squarespace and WordPress already do this though, at a decent price, and it's easy to just hire a WP technician as needed or ask ChatGPT to debug.

Maybe figure out your target market, as there might be conflicting models here.

The question is whether something standard like TOTP is also offered as an option (regardless of how "dark-patterny" it is to get to the option --- I've seen services that will heavily push their own app, but if you look carefully you'll see TOTP too, often disguised as "Google Authenticator" or something else that doesn't explicitly say TOTP but actually is.)

Authentication has been a solved problem for decades but no bank is going to ask the general public to use their SSH keys.

Nor ask them to put their smartcard in the reader, although many banks will already have given one to their customers...
I know it will be an unpopular answer, but given there are two options (namely: Microsoft Authenticator or using the SMS option) what is the problem? If the SMS option is such an attack to your privacy, use a cheapo phone with a prepaid SIM registered to your dog. Not all countries permit this, but it's a start.
That’s why I said practically speaking. And realistically I don’t think you can even generously consider anything prior to perceptrons.

Geeze - if these guys are so good at breaking into accounts I might like to use them as a service. I tried many times to get into my att account and failed - I talked to customer service - fail.

Got escalated to some 'upper level customer service' people - and we went through multiple ways to reset - all failed. I tried the get postcard in the mail and so many things - I just gave up. Hours on the phone.. no more.

One thing you should get out of your head is that there is zero risk. Even keeping it all in cash in a checking account has risk.

CD ladder isn't a bad choice. A treasury bill ladder could also work and might actually fit as well. The risk is in a rising interest rate environment the t-bills you buy now will be worth less in the future. You'll still get the dollars in absolute terms but it might buy less. Too bad you can't buy I-bonds past 10k a year.

Also the biggest risk in your plan is the "leave alone and not manage". There is manage a little, manage a lot, or pay someone to manage it for me. Leaving it alone and not managing it has its own risks.

Fighters like the Hornet use HOTAS (Hands On Throttle And Stick) which places buttons, 4-way switches, or other controls (mini joysticks, etc.) under most of the fingers. So pilots have something like 30+ commands that they can perform at any time without moving their hands. Interacting with MFD's would mostly happen when the plane is cruising straight and level, probably on autopilot.
Isn’t gravity also an outlier in that it is far weaker than the other fundamental forces? The article only mentions that in passing.

Sorry, I don't agree. I've been a contractor for 2 decades (including on a Google project a very long time ago). It's a choice you make, and I'm quite happy with mine. There are of course upsides and downsides.

> that doesn't mean that his assertion is valid because I'm not qualified in the appropriate domain.

You are very eloquently and thoroughly attempting to justify your ad hominem argument, and to be more specific, you are presenting a credentials fallacy.

Let's assume for the sake of argument that I am an expert, and more so, that I am more qualified to evaluate the lecture than any scientist that ever lived or ever will live, and I tell you, it is correct, and I know, because I'm an expert, then regardless whether I or the presentation is correct or not, I'd be committing an appeal to authority and a fallacious argument.

Regardless of whether you are an expert in physics or not has no bearing on the validity of the theory, nor whether you are capable of deciding whether the theory is valid or not. You've speculated whether I was arguing in good faith, and now I must do the same. You're obviously intelligent and capable of deep consideration. Either you watch the video and draw your own conclusions, or you can not speak to it. It is that simple. Do or do not, those are your only choices. There is no valid argument that you can make to weasel out of them.
In the case of spacetime, I think emergent just means that spacetime exists as a result of the interaction of energy, and there would be no spacetime without its interaction. It's more a claim about whether spacetime is a thing-in-itself.
