Let’s face it, this is everything Silicon Valley has ever wanted.

That is exactly what they want you to feel about them.
When announcements are made at Google I/O about UI and app code being compiled down to WASM, without a line of Javascript in sight, and delivered on all manner of web browser -- desktop and mobile -- that triggers a reminder that this was all predicted by the clairvoyant Gary Berhardt back in 2014.

He also predicted a huge war after the adoption of (W)ASM and we have the possible ignition point for that in eastern Ukraine at the moment...
The iPad has the same price hike, so I assume European tablet prices are just higher for some reason. When the competition raises their prices, you can raise your prices and still be competitive.

A 10th gen iPad starts at €589 here while the USA price is listed as $449. Including VAT after currency conversion that price should be around €500, but Apple skims off an extra €89.

Luckily, Google devices don't keep their high prices after the market develops so in a year or so I expect the tablets to be priced much more reasonably. For some reason people are willing to pay near purchase price for a second hand iPad, keeping the cost of older models in stores high, but Android tablets go for much less.
Because I can can never remember to use pigz I have to have this in my dotfiles:

function ccm() {
tar -cf - $1 | pigz > $1.tar.gz

That seems like a very reasonable stance. AI is a tool like any other, the entities with agency that use it are still people.
Didn't realize this distinction thanks! got some reading to do

Challenge accepted. This article is an emotional rant (true or false) is not well grounded in facts and causality. There fundamental claim is that

> The simple fact is that this State and County have set themselves on a course to disaster. And the worst part is that the agency for whom I work has backed literally every policy change that had the predictable, and predicted, outcome of more crime and more people getting hurt.

So the claim is that his state, county, and agency are all backing policies that predictably lead to more crime.

Those policies are then characterized as:

* bond/bail reform
* reduced parole and sentences in some cases
* "malicious" prosecution of law officers
* not prosecuting some crimes that are on the books

Unfortunately the author makes zero references, citations, or arguments for why these policies are harmful, as enacted, and why they might have led to the negative experiences of their family.

So it's an emotional content (nearly) free emotional rant that doesn't move the discussion forward in any helpful way.

Analysis that showed even correlation would be interesting/useful. This is not.

Once women gained control of their own fertility - they voted with their bodies. Many of the old large families were, in essence, forced on women, to the detriment of many as death was common in childbirth until late in the 19th century.

A person looks at photos of a pre-production vehicle which has not been homologated to the Australian domestic market and expresses their opinion about it. I mean it's a great bit of content for the publisher but the proof will be in the testing, not in a person's intuition. The head of an objective testing body should know better than this.

And while I agree that the Cybertruck doesn't seem like a safe vehicle at first glance, Tesla's track record on passive/active safety should be enough to stave off any premature jumping to conclusions prior to the release of real test data.

Also this quote was quite odd: “We’ve got a concern that Tesla is very interested in the occupants of the vehicle, but it can’t ignore the other road users as well.” This is a hideously disingenuous comment for the head of ANCAP to be making about a manufacturer that makes one of the safest cars on Australian roads. They seriously have "a concern" about the maker of vehicles which score extremely highly overall, and which matched or exceeded an equivalent Volvo EV in every category[0][1]?

Most Taxi companies I’ve dealt with quote if ask them. Generally you get a few bucks off if you do so at least a day in advance.

I’d rather give a call than install an app anyways.

My experience taught me that taxis are usually around the same price as Ubers in densely populated areas and wildly more expensive outside of those.
I’m not very experienced as an Uber user though since I generally prefer public transport.

There is no reason that EU should "fall behind". The danger with digital tech has almost nothing to do with the capabilities and features of the technology (well if its a nuclear bomb its features are very specific) and has everything to do with who controls it and why.

The implication that there is only one way to organize control of AI tech is patently false. We already know that you can have at least i) a state controlled system (China) and ii) an oligopolistic corporate controlled system (US). There are many other plausible ways and the EU must simply create the conditions for these to develop.

Legislation that has real teeth and vision can do this. This is possible even within existing corporate and monetary systems. Even the (controversial) Friedman doctrine about corporation's sole aim is seeking profit is that they must operate with the moral and legal sandbox that society creates.

Civil and criminal law was never designed in such a way to be implemented by a brain of the world..., ok I take that back, A 'brain of the world, if it knew where you were could possibly tell you that the information is restricted and give you a "I can't do that dave message" based on your location.

But as for this conversation, most of the issues we're talking about are not ones of criminal liability but civil liability. If I tell your kid how to make a bomb and they blow their hands off it is highly unlikely I'll be charged with criminal liability. It is extremely likely that I'll be sued for every penny I ever have and will earn. Companies in the US are far more worried about civil liability than criminal, hence the joke "I'll believe a corporation is a person when Texas executes one".
That's a position I do share, but let me play the devil's advocate for moment:

What if an AI research company doesn't want to be a supervillain or do bad things but they (or their investors) decide it's safer to just do the research in a jurisdiction where they face less risk of being subjected to regulatory burden especially during the early exploratory stage. Surely they'll care about abiding to the rules of one of the major world's markets, but they'll so it after they have a mature product.

At least that's how I interpreted GP's comment. EU will eventually get the product that confirms to the safety specifications that we all agree they should, but it will be a foreign product.

Instant photo-doctoring for everyone.

The obvious extensions are many. Imagine everyone in the planet being able to say: "AI assistant, make all these photos look like professional magazine shots in which I look great, and post these photos gradually to Instagram with clever little blurbs and in the order that will get me the most likes." And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Soon enough, no one will trust photos anymore.
The opioid and amphetamine problems are due to drug relations in the US. It would have been better to not prohibit drugs. We are finally starting to see the rollback for marijuana. The amount of damage to civil liberties and lives lost to the drug war should be exhibit A in any argument about regulation.
To me, a privacy regulation that focuses not on merely collecting and protecting private data (HIPAA and friends), but instead on purposes of its use is very much a new model. For example, Amazon doesn't need consent to process and store your home address, but only as long as they use it to deliver goods you order and nothing else.

I think it's more of a problem with companies who are fighting to keep the old model (thus, asking for consent where it's not needed just in case they want to do something privacy-disrespectful with it in the future – you can totally deny consent and keep using the service) and consumers not understanding this (and thus, not voting with their feet). But I see GDPR enforcement every day (I donate to https://noyb.eu/en and recommend you to do the same if possible), people fighting non-free consent etc. – I expect in a few more years the landscape will be better understood.

GDPR fines are based on revenue, not assets. But to an extent this is correct; big companies are much more scared of the GDPR than small companies just because the amounts involved get so huge.
I was thinking the same thing. I'm pretty sure Librewolf already got this covered, and even it doesn't, it can still be easily done.
I don’t know why cloud providers haven’t jumped on RAD technologies. They could give devs a stack where all the engineers need to worry about is front-end presentation and business logic. Everything else from persistent storage, deployment, testing, scaling, disaster recovery is baked-in already.

It goes into detail about how the ground lead on the probes is ground and the fact that you have to pay attention to where you are connecting them otherwise you can create a short circuit. Note that all the probe grounds are connected together, so connecting two ground leads to two different circuit nodes effectively shorts those two nodes together.
I'm not sure it's certain yet with AI is going to lead to more consolidation or actually have the opposite effect.

Whilst history tends to make me suspect the former, the recent leaked Google memo gave me pause for thought. AI is already out there and already can be trained on consumer hardware. It's ever so slightly possible that big tech won't be able to horde the benefits this time.
More so if you have a family and are the primary provider. You need to take time out for yourself. No, that’s not selfish. It’s the oxygen mask rule on all airplanes - before taking care of others, you need to look after yourself. Be responsible to the degree you can maintain a sustainable (read healthy) balance.

It took me 20 years and a pandemic to realize that corporations (especially public corporations) are one tracked. They are non-living entities fuelled by the insatiable greed of some. Remember the old adage, I’d rather be poor and happy than rich and miserable? Thanks to the increasing rich/poor divide - now everybody is miserable.

It’s the non-stop work culture, and for what? To sell more new phones and laptops to people, when the old ones work just fine?

But there is hope - with the increasing popularity of self-repair friendly legislations and the promotion of manufacturing jobs (the one thing I appreciate Trump for), we just might be able to save ourselves. As imperfect as Unions are, this was the reason for their existence - to keep the other side in check.

Sorry for going all over the place today. Just some things that have been on my mind lately. YOU mean something. YOUR life and well-being matters. Don’t do it for your loyalty - it means shit in most cases. To your boss it may matter a bit, but to the “company” - a made up non-living entity? Zilch. It is heartless and will show no emotion when making “hard” decisions.

> Prior to (I think) 1790 there was no copyright and human beings managed minor things like, you know, the renaissance and stuff like that.

Curious if the introduction of copyright is what led to an explosion of products and innovation. Suddenly people were given an incentive to monetize their ideas. I doubt the renaissance happened due to a lack of copyright. I think it's more due to social, political and health circumstances rather than the lack of protection of one's work. We, in Europe, suffered from disease, famine, war, to the point where we reached the conclusion that enough is enough - we need rules to the game.
When I asked Bard "What do you know about Edgar Allan Poe?" it answered "I'm a text-based AI and can't assist with that." Which I assumed was the result of an overzealous guardrail trying to protect personal private information. And now, when I see that Bard isn't available in the EU I'm starting to wonder if Google included in it's training data something they shouldn't have used.

Without fail, every article from Kent C. Dodds shows what appears to be total inexperience despite claims of the contrary.

The advice is, at this point, almost meme worthy. There's an infamous post from 2021 (that he may have been roasted for here):

https://kentcdodds.com/blog/how-i-built-a-modern-website-in-...

Almost every single piece of advice is wildly overcomplicated and ridiculous.

I do like some of the technologies proposed, but you can host this stuff on a single VM without any of the fancy frameworks, tools, or hosting options.

Kent is the only blogger that I've felt compelled to tell all my less experienced colleagues to completely ignore, and I feel entirely justified doing so whenever they bring him up.

The proliferation of his perspective has, quite literally, been a pain in my ass daily trying to re-teach misguided fundamentals. I really don't understand who the intended audience is. The expert beginner, maybe?

I'm sure he's probably a wonderful human being, however.
He's not facing 20 years of jail time for crashing the plane. That would have been revocation of his license and possibly some time for reckless endangerment.

He's facing 20 years of jail time for wanton destruction of evidence and impeding a federal investigation. The FAA doesn't have the resources to launch a deep detective dive on every crash, and the penalties are set to highly discourage the practice of impeding understanding of what happened in a crash because that's part of the process of making the air safer for everyone (ground-side as well as air-side).

Even the wreck itself, in its undisturbed state, would have been valuable for better understanding of how an uncontrolled plane meets its end (including possible opportunities to improve the safety of the inevitable disassembly when it finds the ground). ... unless some likes-hound cuts the plane up into tiny pieces and tries to hide it.
i think the obvious policy he the former attorney lists as causing more crime:

"Bond reform so no one stays in jail"

if every american suspected of shooting someone is held in jail rather than released, we have just removed the most likely population of people who cause future shootings. from the safety of the publics perspective, now the surviving victims/witnesses are more likely to be victims of more crimes because the suspected violent attackers are back on the street.

i dont really think there is room for debate on the "truthyness" of his statement, as if we kept more people in jail, less people would be out in public able to commit crime. how much is a good question tho.

I don't think Japan will change drive lane in the future, but possibly used car export could be decrease for BEVs. Japan adopts CHAdeMO for fast charging but other countries don't, so it will become harder to export. Also China is becoming very strong BEV manufacturing country. For new cars, after EV transition and steer by wire system become popular, LHD/RHD will become minor difference for car designing.

Former Chicagoan here. Grew up there, lived there most of my adult life, raised kids there, and finally, thankfully, moved to another state three years ago. It's easy to pile on, but one of the main things that did it for me was sorta this realization that Chicago is more or less hopeless. There's no willingness to even discuss Chicago's problems honestly, let alone do something about them. The culture there is just too far gone - it's depressing. Was I worried that violent crime was going to imminently find its way to my doorstep? No, not really. But with three kids in Chicago Public Schools (no more dysfunctional, shameful organization exists in this country than CPS) I turned to my wife one day and said, "You know, we don't have to live like this." So we left.

I don't why bard isn't coming to the EU. Is it this or something else. Google hasn't explained it. I would hope that any ai act will allow reasonable players like Openai, Microsoft and Google to continue their good work without ruining into too much red tape. Considering what is happening, if it's because of the ai act, the act might be too strict as the EU risks getting disadvantaged by not having access to the same tools as 180 other countries. AI will ultimately prove too useful to ban.
