Oil business is about small margins being created at each step of production leading to a large margin at the end. The way BP structures itself to do so is amazing.

The BP company that owns the exploration rights pays BP to determine the feasibility, then BP pays BP to extract the oil, then BP pays BP to ship the oil, then BP pays BP to refine the oil, then BP pays BP to distribute the refined products, then BP pays BP to fill the tanks at the bowsers, then we pay BP to fill our car, and every one of those BP segments makes a margin.

So yeah, I agree, just because a drilling operation looks like a loss in isolation, unless you view it in context of that entire vertical integration, you're missing the woods for the trees.
It was an E-2 visa (as "essential manager", not investor...), so not H1B. But again, that's what the attorney told me, maybe he just wanted to be super extra careful. But notice the nonimmigrant wording on the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services website [1]: "The E-2 nonimmigrant classification allows a national of a treaty country...". My employer did propose to sponsor a green card application, so I had a path to permanent residency. I wasn't interested: I had the firm intention of going back to Japan.

Anyway: my point is that "immigrant" and "expat" are not synonyms: "immigrant" has a much narrower meaning, which has absolutely nothing to do with coming from a poor country or a rich country.

The most exciting thing about Home Assistant's "Year of the Voice", for me, is that it is apparently enabling/supporting @synesthesiam's continued phenomenal contributions to the FLOSS off-line voice synthesis space.

The quality, variety & diversity of voices that synesthesiam's "Larynx" TTS project (https://github.com/rhasspy/larynx/) made available, completely transformed the Free/Open Source Text To Speech landscape.

In addition "OpenTTS" (https://github.com/synesthesiam/opentts) provided a common API for interacting with multiple FLOSS TTS projects which showed great promise for actually enabling "standing on the shoulders of" rather than re-inventing the same basic functionality every time.

The new "Piper" TTS project mentioned in the article is the apparent successor to Larynx and, along with the accompanying LibriTTS/LibriVox-based voice models, brings to FLOSS TTS something it's never had before:

* Too many voices! :)

Seriously, the current LibriTTS voice model version has 900+ voices (of varying quality levels), how do you even navigate that many?![0]

And that's not even considering the even higher quality single speaker models based on other audio recording sources.

Offline TTS while immensely valuable for individuals, doesn't seem to be attractive domain for most commercial entities due to lack of lock-in/telemetry opportunities so I was concerned that we might end up missing out on further valuable contributions from synesthesiam's specialised skills & experience due to financial realities & the human need for food. :)

I'm glad we instead get to see what happens next.

That's generally true for ChatGPT generating code as well. Nevertheless, I've been able to ask it to solve some semi complicated coding problems, along with unit tests. The code that it generated was structurally better than a lot of junior to mid level engineers.

It also made some similar mistakes to what you describe, with silly things like the wrong parameter names. It still saved a lot of typing compared to doing it all manually. It didn't take long to fix it either, it just required fairly decent software engineering skills.

How is this relevant to circuit design? Well, in the same way it could potentially be an effort amplifier for people who already thoroughly know what they are doing.

AI is on the verge of becoming a really powerful lever.

Expanding on your reply to question 1 here are some details on what the UK is doing:

* There's a large pipeline of battery storage projects (https://www.energy-storage.news/800mwh-of-utility-scale-ener...)

* 6 new Interconnectors will be built in the next 3 years with a capacity of 7.5 GW - https://www.ofgem.gov.uk/energy-policy-and-regulation/policy...

* In the last 12 months (https://www.mygridgb.co.uk/last-12-months/):

* battery storage supplied 0.7% of demand

* Interconnectors supplied 6.4% of demand in the last 12 months
These days I can usually dash off a Plot and it actually works the first time, which is a little scary. I used to think I would never get it! But my colleagues and friends often complement the style of my graphics, that I download from Observable and use in presentations or post on Twitter. It really is the accessible D3.
I respect your experience, but third-party sites are cheaper than the true website and hotels refuse to match it even if you ask them. Even if adjustments are easier (and in my experience Booking.com has been fine), it doesn't offset the price difference.

I stay in hotels a lot though, if you travel occasionally and on special occasions I can absolutely understand.
Does Model and Inference Parameter Matter in LLM Applications?
A case study using the MATH benchmark shows that model selection and inference parameters do matter in Large Language Model (LLM) applications.
The tuned gpt-3.5-turbo model vastly outperformed untuned gpt-4 in accuracy for easier problems, while gpt-4 was a better choice for the most difficult problems.
FLAML can help with model selection, parameter tuning, and cost-saving in LLM applications.
Companies like DDG and Apple don’t do privacy. They do privacy theatre. Just that Apple is too big with too much of a PR/marketing budget and has an ultra/rabidly loyal fanbase so it works for them.

There are companies that do privacy but they’re usually too small to be noticed outside the crowd of extremely privacy conscious people.

Mozila is a famous one though. Yup, even after their Pocket fiasco and some more I do believe they try to real and long term privacy. DDG is just hustling to stand apart and then maybe hope for a financial exit. (Have had a really bad experience with the company, other than using their product - their search is unusable though - that told me they do not have a respectable culture as an organisation either).
Ohh… totally missed that!
Of course it works. It always works unless you have have a segment of society actively telling your kids they don’t have to listen to their parents and to be hyper individualistic. How do you think most of Asia, South America, Africa, and the vast majority of rural America function?

If your hotel double books you, they're out of rooms and can't help. If Booking.com double books you, they can pull strings to give you a different room in any hotel on their site (and they do). I don't doubt you had that experience personally, but it doesn't match my experience at all, and I spend 1/3 of my life in hotels.

"education is the enemy of entrepreneurship.

the belief that university knowledge generates economic wealth stems more from superstition than empiricism. Empirical investigation shows no evidence that raising the general level of education raises a country's income level.

But we know the opposite is true, that wealth leads to the rise of education - that's not an optical illusion"

I think people who are complaining are stressed out about their own services being down.

If you’ve only ever used the cloud, you’re not necessarily aware of everything that’s involved at data centers. If you’re not familiar with them, I don’t think you’d know how many things can (literally) blow up in your face. If someone sees flooding, they generally aren’t thinking that it’ll lead to fires.

Anyway, just want to think that everyone generally has good intentions and just don’t know what’s ACTUALLY happening in the DC, or how much work it will be for the folks working in the DC to restore services.

Hopefully all the failsafes kicked in and worked and nobody was injured.

Just cold emails probably won't get much traction. Just a few simple ideas:

* Call the contacts rather than email.

* Does it/should it integrate with dealer systems? (ADP or R&R or Other?)

* Reach out to NADA (North American Dealer Association)

* Try Auto Care Association or similar.

* What about "service data providers"? (Motor information systems, Chiltons, etc.)

* Don't share details with some of these without an NDA.

* If you don't already, get to know the industry you are trying to sell to.

* Do car dealers frequent any sub redits?

* What about Facebook groups?

* Visit a local dealership, talk to people.

* Offer it for free 6 weeks or 6 months in exchange for feedback (positive or negative).

* Demonstrate that it solves problems, and get someone to corroborate the story,

Good luck.
The phrase "software is the only way out" will probably stick with me forever. Horrifying.
RISC-V has often been described as being "too extreme" in its minimalism but, despite the extra instructions needed (not as many as critics claim via worst case micro-examples), riscv64 code is still considerably smaller than amd64 or arm64 code.

Both amd64's "extreme instruction size variability" and arm64's "extreme only one instruction size" philosophies give worse results than riscv64's "two instructions lengths make small code that is still easy to parse in a wide machine". You'd have thought Arm of all people would have known that, but oh well...

Source: looking at the output of "size" on binaries in the the last couple of years of Fedora / Debian / Ubuntu etc versions that support all three.
First off, Thank you!

Wondering if you all are thinking about multiple remote microphones, and choosing which microphone will respond to the speaker?

Ideally, I'd love to have multiple microphones/speakers throughout the house, all of which can listen and answer, however, only the one that hears me the clearest/loudest/etc. actually answers.

Make sense?
They merely have the opportunity to build a moat. Go really fast -> build capability, brand, scale, IP and integrations and hope like hell that's enough insurance when the fast followers arrive.
Correct. And that happens to be our situation too.

It’s content addressed, so circular references can’t naturally arise. You kind of need to create an ID of some sort and reference that and create some way of looking that up. I didn’t check if they allow for recursive function calls, etc.

The repository/scrap pile of content could be stored in lots of ways that you could choose. I imagine if everyone pushed directly to a global “scrap pile” like IPFS it would end up as a huge pile of unused scrap. Like unison, they’d need to provide some kind of default development environment, but anyone could build additional tooling (kind of like anyone could write a git clone).

According to the link below, ML records are mostly handled by hash-maps in Clojure, except that there’s no canonical key/val order or strict typing by default.

ML record:

{first = "John", last = "Doe", age = 150, balance = 0.12}

Clojure hash-map:

{:first "John", :last "Doe", :age 150, :balance 0.12}

Destructuring a record in an ML function:

fun full_name{first:string,last:string,age:int,balance:real}:string =
first ^ " " ^ last

(It’s unclear from the example whether or not all of the destructured values are required in the function signature. I hope they are not, but I left them in since I don’t know. The caret positioning raises further questions.)

Destructuring a map in a Clojure function:

(defn full-name [{:keys [first last]}]
(str first “ “ last))

I don’t know if I’m missing something that ML offers with its records aside from more strict typing, which you can also have in Clojure when it’s useful. In both cases, it looks like it’s applied at the function declaration and not the record declaration.

It’s been a few years since I’ve been down this path, but last time I went exploring one of the main challenges was getting decent hardware.

It's not about the physics of light, it's about what the artist chooses to have in the scene.

And it's not randomness that fixes it. Do you even want to get into the information theory problems if you could copyright the output of a random number generator?

What you need is for someone to be making creative choices with enough entropy to be considered original and not be reproducible by feeding a short sentence to an existing algorithm.

> That sounds lovely, but this literally does not work in the anti-vaxxer camps. They fall into two categories, the leaders who are deliberately fabricating and spreading disinformation, and the followers who are willfully remaining ignorant. They are both literally immune to facts and reason. Same for the flat-earthers, chemtrailers, 5G-causes-COVID, Bill-Gates-puts-microchips-into-vaccines, etc...and every other conspiracy theory. There are a number of papers about it I don't have the time to lookup now, but they're easy to find.

Even worse would be to imagine that a group of people would have concerns about the use of a new technology (and to think that concerns about the use of a technology would necessarily put a person in that category of people), and to then straw-man what their supposed objections might be. I'd definitely advise against that, if our objective was to communicate in good faith and to build trust, rather than to attack, mislead, coerce and marginalize.

If there were no grounds for concern about a new technology that was currently being researched, then we might want to talk about why that is (we could write some papers on the subject for instance, I'm sure there would be some funding on offer). Or we could say "...because I said so." or cast doubt on their motivations, their capacity for critical thinking, or their scientific credentials, but arguing from authority to a skeptical audience might well be counterproductive.

We might need to admit that there may be the potential for legitimate concerns, and that we may not yet know enough about a new technology to rule them out. But the last thing we would want to do is to try to steam-roll over people's objections and drown them out (and to mislead them or misrepresent them) - that would just make people think that we're lying to them and that we have something to hide, that we're perhaps driven by a hidden motive or an over-riding ideological commitment.

> Of course, we should still disperse as widely as possible the accurate information, in detail at the outset. But we shouldn't delude ourselves to think that no conspiracy theory will arise. If it sounds technological, some arse is going to fabricate a conspiracy theory, and find followers.

There will always be conspiracy theories, nearly all of them will be harmless, and some (many, even) of them will end up being true! By their nature, governments will never stop having the temptation to misrepresent or disproportionately emphasize scientific information for political purposes, but we must do our utmost to avoid spreading official information through authoritative channels that subsequently turns out to have been knowingly inaccurate or presented in a such a way as would be likely to mislead people in serious ways, because that is a number one surefire way of destroying trust between the apparatus of the state and the population.

I find the argument to be essentially assuming the premise (if a system acts conscious, but you look inside it and don’t find anything conscious in there, then it can’t be conscious) but honestly I wouldn’t say I’m sure I understand the argument. Given my understanding, I thought this illustrated the circularity. But I see I’m wrong, because if you buy the premise then you won’t find the situation analogous.

That is, imagine there was a famous philosopher who insisted that cats can only be recognized by some non-computational mechanism, and any computational cat recognizer might “simulate” recognizing cats but could not be said to actually recognize cats. Then you build a neural network that recognizes cats, and they open it up and point out that nothing in it can recognize cats, so therefore it isn’t “really” recognizing cats.
