Cook was fundamental for Apple in becoming the company it is today. The stuff he has done in there, regarding logistics and operations, its real innovation on its own.

I sympathize more w/ Nadella, but I would think that Cook is an even greater CEO than him.
Probably the most relevant example of why the eu will continue lagging is that openai was founded by americans and east europeans as was google. That’s a total no go in europe, particularly in germany. The eu can regulate itself all it wants but until it learns how to actually collaborate it wont get far. You cant thrive with a mindset stuck in the wrong era. And that applies to almost everything europeans do.
Many states still only require $15,000 of liability coverage to drive, so there's going to be a lot more uninsured / underinsured motorist claims in the future.

The Rivian owners insurance will frequently end up paying out, via that underinsured motorist coverage.
I think I read more into your post than intended, specifically your suggestion to vote with your wallet. It is frequently stated in such a way as to be the end of the conversation - shut up and change your purchasing habits, essentially. You didnt put it that way, my bad.

all what you're talking about is priced into what I'm talking about.

housing prices and rent go up at the same rates, their prices compete in the same market, and if you want to rent a place out, you have to buy the places first. How much rent does it take to pay for the place you bought? It's all linear math, it's proportionate.

Stock market investments go toward value creation, housing market purchases do not. Stock market better, it goes up faster.
Plastic products tend to be both the cheapest and longest lasting. Kinda an unfortunate combo.
Typical libertarian viewpoint. By that logic everything a company does, every price and all current things going on in the job market are ok and what the invisible hand deems right and fair.

It's not about whether it makes sense to pay a CEO a lot, it's more about the disproportionate allocation of capital, and how it allows enough room for error that a CEO or exec could be outrageously overpaid and not harm them overall.

You've never needed the Nintendo brick to charge a Switch. You can charge it with a standard 5W iPhone or whatever adapter. To use a Switch DOCKED you do need a power adapter that supports 15V 2.6A. Originally this was not in the USB C PD spec so most bricks couldn't. It now is and for example a 97W Apple brick will do it no problem. Where Nintendo went out of spec is in the dock to make it easier to plug in. The brick is fine and I've used it charge phones and things, never fried anything and I've never heard of the Nintendo brick frying anything. You might be thinking of some 3rd party Switch docks which fried Switchs because they improperly sent power.
For the same reason you use vim in your terminal, in some cases it's nice to have, sometimes it's not, but now you have the ability and choice to do it

I disagree about your statement on the debugger, I tried both

Plugins and being able to edit the source of the program are 2 fundamentally different things

As I explained above, I fall back to neovim because I can't stand the file previewing when you switch files in sublime text, you can't change that behavior with plugins, you need source access

Another argument that you can't defeat:

There is this thing with code completion popup that I so annoying in vscode, it being open source lets me fix it without having to wait for the good will of the developer to understand/fix it for me, I did it myself:

`(char)'c'` is an expression of type char.

Its size is one byte -- but the size of an expression isn't really relevant, since it's (conceptually) not stored in memory.

You can assign the value of an expression to an object, and that object's size depends on its declared type, not on the value assigned to it. The cast is very probably not necessary.

char c1 = 'c'; // The object is one byte; 'c' is converted from int to char
int c2 = 'c'; // The object is typically 4 bytes (sizeof (int))

The fact that character constants are of type int is admittedly confusing -- but given the number of contexts in which implicit conversions are applied, it rarely matters. If you assign the value 'c' to an object of type char, there is conceptually an implicit conversion from int to char, but the generated code is likely to just use a 1-byte move operation.
Just mentionned FancyZones in another comment above. I highly recommend you give a look at it!

The Cube was really aimed at the academic research market, and it sort of did ok there as far as sales went. As a research system it had some audio and DSP features and it was up to users to write their own code to do something interesting with them.

The Fairlight was aimed at the high end music market. It did some very specific things and nothing but those very specific things. It was super-useful for music production, but it was - in its high-end way - a closed end user product, not an open development system.

The problem with the Cube - aside from the price - was that the DSP hardware was still quite slow. Although you could develop your own applications they were very limited compared to the commercial synths, samplers, and FX processors that were available commercially.

So it was only really useful for prototyping new concepts for applications, rather than producing finished applications.

That's where Max came from. Initially it was a very minimal sort-of-modular MIDI processor. The IRCAM merged it with their Cube-based synthesis and processing system. Eventually that became Max/MSP, a commercial product with both MIDI and audio generation and processing. (Then video and low-level custom DSP were added, but those are much more recent.)
Will this mean that you need to use an always-on VPN when traveling to the UK, much like what one has to do* when visiting China?

I think it's the opposite. There are far too many different regulators and quangos in the UK with overlapping responsibilities.
I am highly surprised how many times i3 is mentionned in all the comments.
They're not saying that they should absorb open-source. They're arguing towards a strategy/direction for how to approach AI models from a business perspective, laying down the facts that open-source has a superior positional advantage in terms of development costs.

Probably, internally Googlers are arguing that the "AI explosion" is short lived and people will be stop paying for AI as soon as open source PC models become cost and quality competitive. So they shouldn't chase the next big revenue stream that OpenAI is currently enjoying because it's short lived.

The other insurance company cut a laughably low-ball check, hoping the Rivian owner would cash it and go away.
That movie was visually impressive, but the plot was a snooze-fest, even by the standards of 1979. The scene of the Enterprise entering the spacecraft was ridiculously long and basically gratuitous.

The too-brief depiction of the Klingons, however, was amazing, as was the invention of the Klingon language used by the movie (by Michael Okuda IIRC).

If you want to see another pre-CG sci-fi movie with amazing VFX, watch 2001: A Space Odyssey, which came 11 years before ST:TMP. It still holds up today. Even better, it was originally shot on 70mm film, so the image quality is astounding.

I get the impression that this is a relic of how calculus developed. Basically the creators had a vague intuition of an infinitesimal, it was later replaced by supposedly much more rigorous limit definitions. Then it turns out just creating a non-standard system in which infinitesimals exist is perfectly fine, just like imaginary numbers are useful.

The equivalent to i = sqrt(-1) might be something like the nilpotent infinitesimal where epsilon^2 = 0 but epsilon =/= 0.
I've been working with langchain and llamaindex and did notice that it's a pretty hefty abstraction on top of pretty simple concepts and I also eventually ended up dropping both and simply write the underlying code without the framework on top.
The current ceiling for gross debt is $31.4trn (117% of gdp), and America is careening towards it.

If the debt is supposed to be no higher than set percentage of the GDP, and the GDP drops, shouldn't the debt-ceiling also drop? Or is setting a debt-ceiling just so much bullshit theatrics that should be done away with entirely?
>With a realtime sound card and proper DAC setup you'd easily run over $10,000, which is "affordable" in the same way later CMI models "only" cost as much as a car.

Yeah, but at the same time a comparable plain 'business' Mac (without soundcard and DAC cost in the order of $5000). So, $10K is not so far off if you have a regular studio (most regular pro gear had comparable prices and you needed dozens of them, H3000s, compressors, reverbs, and so on) or a music research facilicy, etc.

It's no coincidence that the US is perennially split down the middle, 50/50 red/blue, swinging back and forth between the two. The whole idea is to keep the country divided and to motivate you to vote. You need to pick a team and stay on it.

With all the "we can't let <the other team> ruin the country" rhetoric, you would think the swings back and forth would be like a wrecking ball. But no, for the most part, nothing meaningful changes. Each team gets their small window of power and starts airdropping money on their doners...ahem voters. Rinse, repeat.

What else can these politicians do? If they actually tried to reform something, they might goof it and it'll cost them their career. Gotta play it safe. After all, the status quo is that everyone already thinks they're all a bunch of corrupt boobs anyway, so nothing to lose really. Just go on CNN or Fox and talk shit about the other team; tell everyone that the other team is a bunch of corrupt boobs. That's money in the bank.

Let's say they actually pull one out of their butt and get some meaningful reform accomplished: well now there's one less thing they can scream about to rally you up to vote for the team the next time. So best to stick to the script.

They all look the same to me.

In the end who's getting screwed? The one and only..customer!
Yes, the fact that we can both disagree on the definition of truth gets to the heart of the subjectivity of truth. I just believe that it can be quantified the same way we elect politicians and value companies.

Consider a presidential election. If you think about it, your vote is claiming "Candidate X should be president," and whether that is your opinion or what you believe to be true, it is capturing a moment in time and your vote reflects that. Leaving aside the nuances of the Electoral College, etc., that is good enough to choose the leader of the free world.

Consider a movie. If it has a 93% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, chances are it's a good movie.

Now, those numbers can change. You may not like the job the president is doing, so you might no longer agree that "Candidate X should be president." Or, perhaps culture shifts and a movie that was initially panned but was oddly prescient or has enjoyed a cult following might be revisited in a different light later on. That is what I want to track.

If you want to buy a stock for a company at a certain price, the price is what it is. You can't say, "Look at their balance sheet, they lose money every year! It should be zero!" The price is what it is, and that is what I consider to be true, whether you agree or disagree. And if you look at a chart of those prices over history, you will see the record of what was true when, and you will see spikes in the graph that are records of the change in narrative around that company. That is what I am trying to do with the history tab, which gives you a graph of sentiment over time.

> The examples you are calling out are errors or mistakes, not changing truth.

The errors or mistakes of yesterday are only errors today. They were true yesterday, and it means that what we accept as true today can be a mistake or error tomorrow. No one knows what will happen in the future, so the best thing we can do is capture this moment and say, this is the best we've got today, maybe it changes tomorrow.

> If people lie and other people believe it, that doesn't make the lie true, it just makes it a lie.

Of course, I see your point. Look at Iraq. Cheney lied, but everyone believed him. But they (the media, the politicians, the public) believed him enough for it to be "true enough" to invade a country. When we went in, what we then believed to be true no longer held true.

These are the moments that are most compelling to me, because eventually when people get called out for lying, they will deny it. Or they will not admit they were wrong. And the media will simply scrub archives of patently wrong stuff if they get called out on things.

However, if someone tells a "lie" but they believe it to be true, are they really lying?

I hope I am making my point clear enough, but I welcome your criticism and it's the reason why I built the app. I hope you try it out.

Most pump and dump schemes present themselves as intelligence/analysis; there is no content-based objective differentiation, just intent and good-faith.

These PFA's leach out for a long time, but the amount decreases asymptotically.
These PFA's are not very soluble in water - there are solvents in which PFA's are much more soluble that at the same time are not water soluble and are also safe. By taking the leached water and mixing, say 100 gallons of water with one gallon of this safe solvent and agitating it well, you can get most of the PFA in the 100 gallons now concentrated in the one gallon of the safe solvent. The exact ratio of that concentration depends on the 'partition coefficient' (PC) if the PC is 100, after mixing and settling the two liquids separate, with that PC. So about ~~99% of the PFA is in that one gallon of solvent. A little solvent also dissolves in the water. This can be repeated and also run in 'counter current' flow to optimise the separation. AFter an experimental series, with various solvents and PFA's the best process is found. If the PFA is a solid and not volatile, the solvent can be boiled off in a vacuum = pure PFA = destroy with SCWO. Some PFA's might steam distil or boil = mixed solvent and PFA = destroy with SCWO.
Water in a sealed space gets hotter and hotter as you heat it. If the space is strong, you can heat water to the critical point = the temperature/pressure where it is no longer water but is totally vapor. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_point_(thermodynamics...
In this regime oxidizers, like ozone or O2 can be added and in those conditions almost all organics and oxidised to water, CO2. Fluorine bonds are broken and fluorine ions result and the same with most other inorganics, chlorides, bromides etc. This is at 705 degrees F and 3200 PSI = steam that can set stuff on fire = why HP boilers are so risky and so regulated.
The company does not say much about their process, but the term SCWO says it all.

The good thing is you can concentrate the PFAS down to a small volume by the concentration = a small processor can safely destroy the PFAS that issue in dilute amounts in a large volume. You can even make small low pressure concentrators at every land fill and ship the extracted concentrate to a small number of central places for oxidation - which I thing will end up being the functional process.
I appreciate you talking the time to share your thoughts here, by the way. This is a tricky subject and one that I've seen devolve into really unhelpful arguments, I'm genuinely curious to learn more about how other people view the problems in our legal system and how they think it should work

Thereby at least levelling the playing field for other developers.
> Autism spectrum disorder is often misconstrued by the general public as a gradient, which is not accurate.

If one accepts the dimensional model of psychiatric diagnosis, then almost all psychiatric disorders are "gradients" – ASD included. If you are calling the dimensional model "not accurate", I disagree

I think the biggest thing where the general public misconstrues things is with "autism"="spectrum". The DSM-5 contains both the autism spectrum and the schizophrenia spectrum, although the former is conceptualised as a single disorder, the latter as a family of related disorders. There is also a brief mention of the concept of the "obsessive-compulsive spectrum", although that concept did not make it into the main body of the text. In the research literature, you'll find heaps more "spectrums" proposed – for example, the "disruptive behaviour disorder spectrum" (composed of ADHD, oppositional-defiant disorder, conduct disorder and antisocial personality disorder) and the "bipolar spectrum" (bipolar I, bipolar II, cyclothymia – some add other conditions such as disruptive mood dysregulation disorder)
To be fair, dealing with insurance carries a substantial cost in medicine, and it makes sense that there is a discount for sidestepping it. Of course, that doesn't excuse a $0.05 Tylenol pill being upcharged $200 or whatever, but it's not a pure scam.
Honestly, I find them mentioned in comments in HN over the years.

Have one on buildings your own stable diffusion model queued up.
but... how does it work?
It's been a while since I've watched this talk[0], but iirc the upshot is that if you think of the "differentiation at p" operator as sending f to the pair (f(p), D_p f) instead of the usual D_p f, then you get a nice compositional operator that defines a functor on vector spaces, automatic differentiation more or less pops out, and you get reverse mode by looking at what this does when applied to dual spaces.

So in some sense it's maybe not hard, though any attempt to do it without building up some theory (e.g. abstract vector spaces and dual spaces) first will probably come across as magic. On the other hand, magic tricks would be right at home in an intro differential equations class so maybe this would be a perfect addition. Or it can replace Wronskians or something.
