You are not wrong, but you are missing an element. The US dollar's position as world reserve currency and preferred exchange currency artificially increases the value of the dollar. A big part of the reason that the US has been able to run a trade deficit and still maintain a strong currency is because there is demand for the currency, itself. People need dollars to use in their international trade, and countries hang on to them for their reserves (stuffing them in the figurative mattress). If people stop using the dollars for international trade, and countries start pulling them out of the mattress rather than stuffing them in, there will be a glut of unwanted dollars on the international market. As you point out, this will drive down the price of the US dollar, significantly weakening it as a currency, thus driving inflation in the US and hitting the economy HARD. Eventually, it may stimulate US exports, but things are going to settle out with Americans much poorer, overall, as their currency is no longer artificially supported.

This is why you should not look into current day narratives, they are almost always wrong.

It’s good to learn from history, and I would say in Europe at least most people are very aware of the past, and many things are being done to safe guard and make sure we keep the ideals of democracy strong.

In Europe but also globally there is a problem right now of far right incursions, hate, fear mongering and strongman politics. Noticeable here is that Brexit happened under a Tory (right wing) government with barely a slitter of a majority.

That is to say, our own toxic nationalism and entrenchment in the past keeps us from moving forward. We need to build global alliances based on cooperative ideals (and there are many such platforms) and with idea of helping eachother out.

Not to exclude real-politik where nations work only for their own interests, that is pretty much a given, but unions can work, if we keep them working properly.

why? we are on a prominent site in an industry that likes to speak of “changing the world.” Or is that just a euphemism for “I want to make myself rich”?

That kind of thinking was easy for me back when I was living in a safe area. Now I've had to move to a sketchy neighborhood, and if "surveillance" helps to keep my girlfriend from being r----, that's an acceptable tradeoff for me at this time.
Fundamentally I think the gold standard should be that anything generated by ai is public domain and that dmca anything that using copyrighted work.

But at the end of the day, the issue at hand is really the way copyright works.

Since so far the "copyright" we got at the moment is mostly in practice only ever a right for the middleman (publisher, record companies, etc. ) which are important to the industry just not remotely as beneficial to the actual creator(s).

If there was a clear cut licensing system (license to stream, license to use once, lifetime license and ai training license) it would solve potentially the ai issue, since some of the profit would go to the creator.

But since copyright is based on who owns it (based on usually capital purchase) like a monopoly, instead of an inherent creator(s) , it's at odds with the creator(s) and automation.
And it can look bad for the site or the person at first glance unless someone bothers to investigate--and instead they'll often just take their first impression, shrug, and move on. (Oh wasn't that the researcher who was somehow somehow involved in some plagiarism thing a few years back?)
USB2 has a cap of 480mbps (includes overhead) while Bluetooth is stuck at several megabits per second (1.7 for Bluetooth 4, should be around double for Bluetooth 5).

WiFi can easily beat USB2 but Bluetooth certainly can't.

One of the first things journalism students learn is that news, by its nature, is significant or it isn't news. The "significance score" is deeply subjective and clearly defaults to an american worldview.

So if I were a subeditor tasked with writing a standfiest for this, my headline would be: "american tech people miss point of journalism"

More seriously, it takes a human's judgement to do this well. Editors will often read all the other daily papers, weeklies, magazines, and other periodicals. They're highly attuned to "relevance". ChatGPT is clearly editorially very naive

This is open to interpretation, but the reading I've always heard for this passage is it is intended to restrict polygamy except in the case in which you are marrying orphan girls.

"If you fear you might fail to give orphan women their ˹due˺ rights ˹if you were to marry them˺, then marry other women of your choice—two, three, or four. But if you are afraid you will fail to maintain justice, then ˹content yourselves with˺ one1 or those ˹bondwomen˺ in your possession.2 This way you are less likely to commit injustice."

The reason I said passage 4:129 gives context is that it says

"You will never be able to maintain ˹emotional˺ justice between your wives—no matter how keen you are. So do not totally incline towards one leaving the other in suspense.1 And if you do what is right and are mindful ˹of Allah˺, surely Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful."

The interpretation I've heard is that while the Quran does not forbid polygamy, it restricts it by stating that it is required that you maintain equality between your wives and do not raise one above another, but advises that this is often impossible, so it is best to only have a single wife, and further that it is advised only to marry more than one wife in the case that you are marrying orphan girls.

I am not Muslim, I am not a religious scholar, however I have read the major religious works of all of the major religions and some experts opinions of them, and this is my understanding. You may not consider this a "restriction", it's certainly rather loose, but it's been my interpretation that the Quran does not outright endorse unrestricted polygamy, it is allowed only in specific circumstances (orphanage), and advised against.

>I used to rant against using socket.io at every possible opportunity. The library has (had) crazy bugs in its reconnection code. In the right circumstances the library would violate ordering and delivery guarantees, or it would lie about messages being received when they hadn't been. But no matter how much I ranted about it, and no matter how many hundreds of issues there were on github, far more people used socket.io than the (much more reliable) alternatives because socket.io had a pretty website, good documentation and it was taught at coding bootcamps. I think the only reason its not as popular now is that you don't need it now that websockets are available everywhere.

That is true. So with the modern browsers now days latest Chrome/Firefox (both desktop and mobile) can support websocket seamlessly? I guess socket.io is kinda like the jquery of ws then? It will take some time to phase out.

A thousand years is bit much.

A monarchy existed in the UK since the fall of Rome.

The monarch since the signing of the Magna Carta has had relinquished political power in England.

Since 1640 the monarch has been largely symbolic and subject to parliament.

The violence, slavery, genocide and theft was definitely present during a period of the history of the monarchy, and should be addressed.

But we cannot necessarily paint the entire history of the monarchy as evil.
My wording was off. It is not trivial to measure or generate each frequency of light! So, new technologies that could enable satellite-based mapping of the sea floor would likely rely on the development of frequency specific sensors. And, as was pointed out, perhaps new ways of measuring and generating specific frequencies of audio.

> without drining my phone battery for a hotspot.

I wonder how much power 5G in a moving train needs. The point being that you'd just drain the laptop's battery faster *.

Do you even get 5G in that train or a 4G dongle would be as good?

Must it be usb-c or usb-a plus short adapter will do?

As everyone else said, the convenience of a hotspot plus not having to manage/pay for a separate cell phone subscription outweighs the battery drain for most, so no one gets dongles any more.

Edit: * maybe as fast as powering a cell phone from it...

> So are they saying that the free market is basically not a thing anymore because of covid, and no company wants to get an edge over its competitors by undercutting on price despite having record margins?

Covid has nothing to do with it. Market always worked this way. There's really very little reason for a company to lower the prices below what consumers are already willing to pay. When the market is saturated and all customers are accustomed to paying certain level of prices for a given good and you try to lower your prices for that good it won't automatically mean you'll sell more. You might even sell less because people will assume you sell a good of lower quality. It can take decades for the customers to learn while you are leaving profits on the table. Profits that you might have used for marketing to actually get more sales at higher price.

On memory Wow:
- I use a technique called episodic memory to retrieve information from my long-term memory. This is a memory retrieval process that humans also use. When I need to access information from my long-term memory, I use episodic memory to retrieve it.
This allows me to access information from any point in time, rather than just the most recent information
- I have a short-term memory buffer that can hold about 10 minutes worth of information. This is the information that I’m actively processing and using at any given time. It’s a limited amount of information, but it allows me to have a conversation with someone without having to constantly access my long-term memory.
The information in my short-term memory is constantly being overwritten by new information, so it’s constantly being updated.

Interestingly the 633 is priced at $79.99 in the US, and €79.99 in EU. The EU price is therefore equivalent to about $88.30.

On top of that, they currently have a $10 discount voucher in the US. https://www.anker.com/products/a1641?ref=select_your_product...

Whereas the EU does not get any discount currently https://www.anker.com/eu-en/products/a1641?variant=415101967...

So that’s $69.99 for the US vs $88.30 for the EU, for the same product.

Wait... what? You've invested half a million into AI porn? Seriously!?

Andrej Karpathy, the director of AI at tesla, published an AMAZING video about how the current models are built which I think everyone in the tech space should watch. It is intuitive, easy to follow and quite frankly the best video I have seen on the topic. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCc8FmEb1nY&list=FL2tbfd7UpJ...

If you conclude, after watching this, that this is all intelligence is - namely cascading optimization and data structure problems chained in a row, then you and a fair number of people here wont ever find common ground. That is not to say that you're wrong, it just seems as if there is a missing component here that we haven't yet discovered.
Nothing shows this is "the end of copyright as we know it".
What is shown is that in 99% of cases AI-generated content cannot be captured under copyright law.
However, that is a problem for the different industries because that means they cannot capture these new revenue streams to which they feel entitled.

What I find extremely troubling is that they're using language like "copyright reform" similar to what you'd hear from EFF or other copyright activists, masquerading as ethical protection for artists or things of the sort.
Except that they are not really addressing the inconsistencies that the "digital property" concept entail; it cannot make sense from a logical standpoint, so it's just a kludge.
So, "artistic interpolation", which has always been available to semi-skilled artists, becomes the argument for a new fully totalitarian view of copyright.

The entertainment industry was basically entirely built on top of pilfered public domain culture. It's constantly providing artists with abusive contracts, when it's not doing much worse, e.g. Harvey Weinstein.
It seems to me that all this is a show of crocodile tears to justify a new massive capture of what falls under copyright to be able to rent-seek in perpetuity.
lol what's the point of this? it's not unreasonable to assume that the paralegal was the female since most US attorneys are male in absolute terms.
Without strong regulation, free markets do not work, as the players start to distort the market to win.
Amazing and extraordinary project.

The cost comparison doesn't feel perfectly genuine, because it considers development _and scanning_ of 8mm has to be done in a laboratory while it can be done at home for 35mm.

Regarding scanning, the author spent an inordinate amount of time building this amazing device than can scan as well as shoot; but he obviously could have built instead a machine to scan 8mm film. Even without it, it's fairly easy to transform 8mm film into digital at home; there are many tools to do this.

Regarding film development, I'm not familiar with 8mm specific requirements, but if the author is able to develop color 35mm film, which is not that easy in my experience, he should be more than able to develop at least B&W 8mm film?

Not to belittle this incredible project though!

HTTP encryption is a bit overrated. Governments only care about which sites you read and httpS don't help against that. TSL is also designed to be man-in-the-middle'd. Check your root certificates and ask yourself if you trust all those organizations. You will also likely find your ISP has a root certificate. The TLS handshake takes a lot of computer resources and makes your web experience slower. Encryption is good when you login to your bank over a random public wifi. It's unnecessary for public and open web sites that don't require username/password to login.
Add to the mix that despite all its flaws (which are many) crypto is way more transparent than a classical financial institution due to the fact that one can track all movements. Even for entities like FTX, we can guess what their wallets at and how many funds they hold. Part of the FTX debacle was due to depositors figuring out that it didn’t have enough money to cover their debts.

Unfortunately for USD backed currencies we still don’t have any idea where or who holds the backing assets. They might as well be non existent…
They are not difficult to tune and they do tune them but they are used like any other fixed pitch instrument in Indian music, the more easily tuned instruments tune to the more difficult to tune instrument.

I don’t think so, for example if you use dollars to buy Apple stock you are very much still long dollars because a big part of Apple’s valuation is their enormous dollar reserve including t-bills. If instead you used it to buy say Chinese real estate you could say you diversified away from dollar.

I get really frustrated that despite the advice to give confidence levels being all over the place I’m aware of no project planning software which incorporates that advice. It all assumes a perfect world where you can say it will take 6.5 days to complete a task, and then cascades from there.

I want project planning software which accepts lower and upper bounds, or an estimate + %age confidence, and then at the end gives me a project plan with error bars on each part of the timeline. Let me give stakeholders a diagram showing exactly what we mean by it being hard to say how long this will take, rather than what appears to be a rock solid plan timed to the day.

Also, let me fire any project manager who pushes back on giving confidence levels (yes, I’ve met several).
I'm not familiar with the law of rent, but it does not seem accurate. Right now blue collar workers can't afford to rent within a 60 minute commute to Boston, where they are not paid a wage that justifies that commute. Why would you cook or clean in Boston when you could do it literally anywhere else in MA without the commute?

I guess my point is that markets continually prove to not be rational. Maybe a philosopher hundreds of years ago imagined they could be, but that's not how things are shaking out.

> They advertise the 633 to hold 1.3 charges for an iPhone 13.

I think you have a typo there. The product page for 633 says 1.8 charges for the iPhone 13.

I was confused why 60% extra would seem low for half capacity of 1.3 charges (130%). Dividing 130% by two gives 65%.

But since it’s actually 180%, I agree that 60% extra seems low. Should have been about 90% extra one would think.
Calling them "hallucinations" is a shoddy piece of terminology by the community which anthropomorphises them.
I've heard several times the argument that they run a clown shitshow that produces lots of money (which is your points 2 and 3), and usually my retort is that another Champions League would look less classist, trickle down more wealth and entertain more people. Maybe a Love Island or a Big Brother edition with Kylie Minogue, Cristiano Ronaldo, Andrew Windsor and some child celebrity would be more interesting and produce more money.

Point 1 is debatable, there's lots of data that suggest they are a net cost (such as a recent investigation of the Guardian).

A transformative aspect of human verbal intelligence involves dealing with concepts and their combinations intersection. ChatGPT does this very well. I think we can agree that ChatGPT provides intelligent completions for an astonishing range of human concepts?

It seems appropriate to describe what ChatGPT understands and what it doesn’t understand through evals or assessments (in the same way that we can use assessments to determine what a student understands or doesn’t). So if we have to call it “computational understanding”, fine —- but clearly ChatGPT understands an incredible range of concepts and their combinations.
This has usually been solved by making the poor fight each other through bloody wars.
True that. It's inconvenient, but you can use custom fields (e.g. in JIRA) for this, but I agree, it's not a proper solution as it doesn't display e.g. ranges :/
yes. the covid lockdowns were just a tip of the iceberg, which was of course also happened to be on fire, and everything around it is on fire too.

the service-goods shift during COVID and the shiftback after, coupled with the energy and food price shocks due to Russia-Ukraine war, definitely did not help the Chinese economy, that was already faking a higher GDP growth to paper over the cracks.

geopolitical tea leaves reading experts point to the aging population of China as a massive problem (again coupled with a lot of factors that make it a worse problem than it would be with a relatively open society, etc.), the limits to efficiency gains from centralization and big infrastructure projects (only so many miles of high-speed rail have positive ROI, only so many big dams make sense, etc), and - again - the cost of maintaining the authoritarian state.
