They're talking about being able to get notifications about the security of your car (e.g you left the trunk open, someone is opening the door etc). I'm guess you don't have a modern car, but having a security system for your car is super useful, especially if you live in left-leaning crime-friendly place like SF.

Because you can access it on a 15-30" screen rather than a 6" phone screen
Hating capitalism is one thing. Being clueless how it works is childish.

200M over 3 years for the CEO of the most consequential tech company on the planet is peanuts. Pop artists make similar money scantily clad and squeezing autotune

Yeah, having equals and hashCode on the root Object class is Java's biggest mistake, IMO. Although for a slightly different reason: equality is usually context-dependent, but having equals as an instance method ties you to one implementation.

Sort of. Stapleton airport was already a significant hub before Denver's population boom. The funding for DIA happened because Stapleton in the late 80s was already a major hub for several carriers and it's constrained size was causing a lot of scheduling headaches for the carriers and the FAA itself.
The current Teslas in Convention Center tunnel have human drivers. The original plan was to have automated pods but that would have cost money. It might be possible to drive Tesla automated, but it is probably not easy to disconnect the drivers seat.
Sure, but that’s not a given like say sitting on a bunch of oil reserves.
Audi have been doing this for years with their "Plus" package on RS cars.

The top speed was capped and could be "unlocked" by paying extra.
No, it's absolutely rent-seeking in the Mercedes case. Your DLC analogy doesn't hold water: when you buy the game, you are paying for the core game. The DLC costs time, money, and resources for the game studio to produce, and you're buying that separately.

In the Mercedes case, they ship the car with the more-powerful motor already installed in it. The cost of it has been paid already. They just artificially limit it through software unless you pay extra for it.

At least in this case Mercedes is offering a one-time flat fee, which would at least be somewhat sorta vaguely like paying extra at the time of sale for a more-powerful engine rather than whatever is stock. Still kinda slimy, but at least not absolute highway robbery, like the subscription plan is.

Genuine question: FTC is saying a "bug" caused the violation of the consent decree.

How can a company ensure bugs don't happen that violate a commitment? I don't think that's possible. I'd assume the decree should ensure they don't INTENTIONALLY violate it.
Keeping the state on the server allows us to run arbitrary Python code and libraries in our event handlers that update the state. Currently only the ui is compiled to React but the logic stays in Python.

We’re working to offload more logic to the client in the for purely UI operations like you mention, and in the future want to leverage wasm once it’s more mature.

One benefit of splitting the lexer and parser is that you can write tests for the lexer that cover different lexical variations of a token -- e.g. for decimal/double values you could test that `1.`, `.2`, `1.0` all produce the same token type. Then, when writing tests for your parser in the parts of the grammar that have that token type you only need one test to cover all the different lexical variations.

This way, your parser tests are then about covering the different symbol transitions in the grammar, making them much more manageable.

It is possible to have more complex lexers -- typically state-based lexers -- that switch state on given input. You can do this when tokenizing comments, strings, or other constructs so the lexer can emit the correct symbol for things like string interpolation. This can be useful when syntax highlighting or other token-based tasks are separate to parsing.

I can see how a state-based lexer and a parser can be combined to avoid managing the state in the lexer -- that is because the parser will know what the current state is due to where it is in the grammar, so can call the appropriate method on the lexer, or pass the corresponding state information. I've not yet experimented with this approach, but it could be useful in some contexts.

Note: I've written a lexer and parser for a language plugin for IntelliJ which has separate lexer and parser steps, and uses the lexer for syntax highlighting. I'm investigating support for the language server protocol (LSP), so may also experiment with a directed/orchestrated lexer as described above.
That's whataboutism. Googlers are comparing their pay (and layoffs) to the CEO's comp--pop artists are an entirely separate matter and Googlers may also feel those are paid too much

Said differently: I'm not saying they're right or wrong, just pointing out that they can also be upset over pop artists' pay
Got to give it to Larry Page and Sergey Brin for having their cake and also eating it.

They control ~51% of voting power with shares thanks to owning ~85% of class B shares. They have had the benefit of someone else running the company for 8 years - and increasing the value of it - and now, when things are not looking great, it’s Sundar Pichai who gets the blame, and the focus on his compensation: and not those who set/approved this compensation.

The biggest winners of Pichai’s leadership have objectively been the shareholders: Google’s market cap increased by ~$890B since he took over as CEO in 2015, tripling the market cap/stock price of the company.

Larry and Sergey run this show: they simply hired someone else to do it for them. When things go well: they profit. When not so well - like now - someone else is on the hook and is the person criticised for how things go at Google; and it’s not them.

Can we have certain knowledge whether or not they're conscious? - Unfortunately no. We can't compare what we cannot measure, and we haven't found any way to measure consciousness directly.

When AI passes all possible tests that could distinguish it from a rat, the question becomes whether or not consciousness is necessary for all those rat-like capabilities we tested for. And if not, then why rats have consciousness?

I personally don't like unfinished stories, so I believe it is necessary - that consciousness is just a side-effect of matter performing some complex computation. It wraps the theory up nicely with a little bow on the top.

Show Me the Money: Unveiling the Real Earnings of US College Grads 4 Years Out
Based on our data analysis, we have discovered several key findings related to earnings differences between Ivy League and top public schools, the most lucrative fields, and the top 20 school/major combinations with the highest earnings.

Ivy League vs. Top Public Schools Earnings

Ivy League graduates have significantly higher average earnings (91,867 USD) and median earnings (82,034 USD) compared to top public school graduates, who have an average earning of 66,341 USD and median earning of 58,647 USD.
Factors such as program offerings, access to resources, networking opportunities, and perceived prestige may contribute to these differences in earnings.
Prospective students should consider these potential earnings against the cost of attendance and personal preferences when choosing between Ivy League and top public schools.
Most Lucrative Fields

The top 5 fields with the highest median earnings 4 years after graduation are:

Nuclear Engineering Technologies/Technicians (131,454 USD)
Biomathematics, Bioinformatics, and Computational Biology (117,247 USD)
Marine Transportation (104,858 USD)
Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering (101,744 USD)
Operations Research (99,689 USD)
Top 20 School/Major Earnings

The top 5 schools with the highest median earnings are Harvard University, California Institute of Technology, Carnegie Mellon University, University of Pennsylvania, and Princeton University.
Computer Science and Computer and Information Sciences, General are the most common majors among the top 20 schools/majors.
Other high-earning majors in the top 20 include Finance and Financial Management Services, Electrical, Electronics and Communications Engineering, Mathematics, and Computer Engineering.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and University of California-Berkeley both have 3 different majors in the top 20.
Median earnings for the top 20 schools/majors range from 168,957 USD (University of Washington-Seattle Campus, Computer Engineering) to 256,539 USD (Harvard University, Computer Science).
I want to tell you thank you. I don't know what about your comment struck me so potently, but I was quite moved.

Same can be said about the results that pop up on your favorite search engine or asking other people questions.

If anything advances in AI & search tech will do a better job at providing citations that agree & disagree with the results given. But this can be a turtles all the way down problem.

OpenAI is allegedly paying 5-20M for researchers. Shouldn’t CEO deserve 20x more?

What motivation will Sundar have if you pay him 200K?
Google could make a bet like they did with YouTube.

At the time, operating YouTube was eye wateringly expensive and lost billions. But google could see where things were going: a triple trend of falling storage costs, falling bandwidth and transmission costs (I’m trying to dig up a link I read years ago about this but google search has gotten so shit that I can’t find it).

It was similar for Asic miners for Bitcoin. Given enough demand, specialised, lower cost hardware specially for LLMs will emerge.
To me it's just like my Ram Truck, they can remotely communicate with it, so I basically don't completely own it. In other words, if I'm not in total control of what I purchased, I don't really have the ability to stop them from turning the truck off at anytime.

If you don't see it this way, put your money where your mouth is, come up with a way to disconnect from the car maker. (Please, no complaints about how the communication is for my own good!)
When you request an SMS 2FA code, they're blindly sending an auth code to your phone number over SMS, that's all they know. That number could be registered to any SIM card which could be in any device. Someone could have socially engineered a rep at your carrier to have that number transferred to their device, which is a real thing that happens.
Taylor Swift (one of the saaviest and wealthiest pop stars of the last 20 years) has a total net worth of $500 million. $225 million over three years is significantly more than she’s ever made.
I wholeheartedly second this. This article seems to me to be one important, small piece of text to read. It might very well end up somewhere in a history book someday.
The burden of "figuring out how to deal with the side effects" is placed on a subset of the population who didn't consent to it and often lacks the wherewithal to fight it, so this is an awful take.
GPT 4 really shows how absolutely terrible regular web search is at finding anything these days. Another complete embarrassment for Google.

Often times it can just recite things from memory that Google can't even properly link to, and they've got a proper index to work from for fucks sake.
Apple care subscribers will have the option to send killer drones after stolen items with iTags.
More testing, more rigor, more review, etc. So even if a bug happens, you don't let it linger without spotting or fixing it for over a year, from "late 2017 until mid-2019".
Saying 'Pop artists make similar money' and then using the highest paid female artist ever is kind of misleading.

Not sure I'm following. They aren't getting new equity grants, they're de-facto out of the picture and just riding the valuation. They have 51% voting power but it's not obvious they are actively making decisions, rather than just holding onto power in just-in-case.

Sundar is getting new equity grants based on his "performance". That's not the same.

Speaking from my experience in Poland for example, in order to open legal herbalism therapy practice or herbal shop you need to pass two exams (usually preceded by a course with both theoretical and practical lessons) and gain government registered certificate. In case of a shop you also have to adhere to quire strictly controlled requirements based on what type of products you want to sell. If you want to grow and then sell herbs you have to obtain separate certificate (again by passing exams and complying with all requirements for your plantation and rest of the process) and grow them using seeds originating from government mandated sources.
It's ridiculous what they had to do to even approach Mach 3. I read the SR-71 would leak fuel during take off and flight. It was intentionally loosely held together. When it went supersonic the metal would basically melt shut. Would like to know how the Stargazer folks have addressed this. Have they built it out of one solid piece of metal like a UFO?
Hmm two even sounds like a lot. You probably shouldn't have had that second one. We all need to do our part to reduce climate change.

> How can a company ensure bugs don't happen that violate a commitment? I don't think that's possible.

If they aren’t willing to take active steps to prevent it even accidentally, they shouldn’t agree to terms that require that.

A consent decree is the negotiated settlement of a lawsuit between a regulatory agency and a party accused of noncompliance.
Well, the consent decree should then say: you need to do X testing, Y review. If they did that, it's still not a violation.
Umm, if cytokine storm wasn't what was putting people at risk, how did dexamethasone have such a powerful affect keeping people alive. As a strong steroid, it reduced inflammation and throttled back the immune response. Yeah, that would have enabled secondary infections a bit more room to grow, but the problem is that dosed people did better than worse.
It has also been understood to be fundamentally inherent to humanity as a consequence of our "need to survive", so trying to regulate it away is just inviting people to skirt said regulation

Since it's unavoidable, the best next thing is to design a system which takes greed as an input and outputs productivity. That system is called Capitalism and that is why it always wins.
I am very good at having my arguments criticized (and even altering my stance when the facts convince me), but what you did was not that. Once you're attacking the person rather than the argument, the discussion ceases to be an interesting or useful one.

For the record, this is a topic I'm pretty well-versed in, and I am aware of the research. I'm also aware (as you should be) that there's a great deal of debate about what IQ tests measure and don't measure.

Your argument (ignoring the personal attacks) is not unreasonable. Neither is mine. This is not a settled matter, and is one where reasonable people can and do disagree. Including the experts in the field.

While I agree that CEOs are overpayed, I think the same applies to software engineers. Software Engineering has been a pay/perk bubble for years that was due for a correction, and like when Elon cut the free gourmet lunches and coffees for Twitter staff, I'm sure the Google engineers will survive.

Meanwhile Google's "raters", the army of workers who do the hard work of moderating and testing Google's platforms are getting paid crumbs in comparison: https://www.npr.org/2023/03/25/1166059832/googles-ghost-work...

I find that Audible is quite rude in one respect when cancelling a subscription. The way an Audible subscription works is that when you're subscribed, you get 1 credit for a free audiobook every month. If you don't use it, you keep accumulating them. If you have a few months where you don't buy anything, you can accumulate a lot of credits. But if you cancel your subscription, you lose all your credits, which you paid for! Yes, you can spend all your credits before cancelling, but I don't know right now which 5 audiobooks I want to buy, and I don't want to waste them on things I won't download, so I don't cancel right now.
I've operated on the assumption that MidJourney is deliberately knee-capping their growth by making it only work on Discord to ensure they don't grow faster than they can add hardware.

I could be entirely wrong, though. Maybe the person making that decision is just an idiot.

I have an IRC bot that has triggers for DALL-E, GPT3, and ChatGPT. I really want to make one for MidJourney, and I would happily pay MJ for the privilege. But I can't. Not without breaking some rules.
The serious companies have most of their employee's compensation in stock anyways.
It's not the most consequential because of him. It was at that level when he got the job. Should the comp, in terms of who deserves the most money, go to the guy on top, or to the employees in proportion to their contribution?

CEO pay ratio is fucked in the US in any realm. It's just because those at the top have more leverage, they don't necessarily have more value.
It's just that unfortunately the financial system is geared toward making this the "best" option. I don't know about Germany specifically but here for instance if you run a company you can't buy a car and expense it(or get a loan and expense payments for the loan), but a lease is technically a rental so you can expense it, which means that "renting" a brand new car for 3 years is actually cheaper for your company than buying it and keeping it for longer. So yes, you have loads of companies essentially paying for that worst depreciation period in a vehicle's lifetime and then immediately these cars hit the market again.
Not to be confused with https://www.pinecone.io/ the vector database, which is also trending.
