It’s pretty normal for modern turbofans to look huge, they’re so-called “high bypass” turbofans: the power is provided by a turboreactor-ish core, but that drives a large ducted fan which pushes air through, most of that air bypasses the core (hence high-bypass).

A model turbofan might have a bypass ratio of 10, aka for every kilo of air going through the core 10 are pushed around it by the fan.

That applies to all airliners e.g. the reason for the 737 max’s issues is that the plane is very low to the ground, so it didn’t have room under the wings for modern turbofans.

The 2nd and 3rd gen 737 (Classic and NG) worked around it with peculiar flattened nacelles (they’re circular on every other plane), and moving some of the components to the sides (from their usual position at the bottom).

For the Max Boeing wanted even wider engines, and there was no way to flatten things further, so they moved the engines forwards and using long struts (check out comparison pics from the side).

The result however is that the thrust vectors are different than on “normal” 737 giving the aircraft a tendency to pitch up in certain conditions, which is what the MCAS was supposed to automatically remedy.

For reference, the original 737 had engines with a width of ~1m (40 inches), the second generation (“classic”) had fans 1.5m (60in) in diameter, the 737-NG is a minor bump to 1.55m (61in).

The Max’s CFM Leap has a 1.76m (70in) fan. And that’s a specially reduced and less efficient version, on the 320neo the same engine has a 2m (78in) fan.
Donating to a charity that exists to feed orphans, say, and they buy themselves a Mercedes Benz is the charity committing fraud you can sue them for.

I think there's likely to be a distinction here between "things that are learnable through computation" and things that aren't.

A machine or algorithm that needed to evaluate various methods of planting seeds in soil, for instance, is going to be limited by hard time factors short of figuring out how to put in the "physics" of it from the current state of the art of human knowledge.

And that pushes you up against the line of "tools that make it easy to interface with today and history's knowledge, art styles, etc" vs "generating new knowledge." The singularity would require the latter - there's a lot of talk around embodiment as a potential necessity there, but I think there's a certain difference too around experimentation and feedback. A perfect simulation of the universe would let you get around some of this - especially if you assume perfect or good-enough simulation of human behavior - but that's a LOT of compute. This gap between "what a human can do, but faster/cheaper/without getting tired" and "what a human couldn't even imagine" that is the "AI" dream (sometimes nightmare) that sci-fi planted in our heads.

I've been doing this since December with a pair of Nreal Air glasses and alternately a MacBook and an SBC. It's okay-ish, but not great. Text rendering is sub-par requiring jacked-up font sizes, the viewport is fairly small, and if you're using the Nreal desktop for simulated multi-monitor configuration, the display jiggles a bit as the accelerometers catch up with your movements. It's sure as hell not worth the $2000 they're looking for. The SoC is old, too. Just get an 11g Framework, strip the LCD, plug a set of Nreals into a USB-C DP port, install Windows, and use the Nreal desktop. Boom: better, faster, newer, cheaper than $2000, and you can get it shipped right away.
Tax blaming is b/s. The problem in the UK is that not enough rich people are being taxed. Meanwhile, shareholders are crapping all over normals (see story today about the water companies dumping waste and then passing on £10bn bill to their customers). The Tory gov insists that privatisation is the key - meanwhile the NHS falls on its ass, schools are crumbling, trains are late and expensive and shit.

Don't get me started on Brexit. There is literally NO redeeming feature to this shit show - again caused by rabid right wing Tory assholes - and once again in the news is the UK car industry saying we're going to lose 800,000 jobs due to Brexit unless the gov pulls its finger out.

So - sorry - but don't bang on about high taxes OR your obviously minted higher rate tax paying mate. It's 12 years of Tory austerity that is REALLY hurting people over here. More taxes on the rich would help mightily.

Oh, and a £162m public bill to bury someone who owned more diamond hats that she knew what to do with. Don't get me started on the royal shitshow either.

Sorry to rant but I'm bloody horrified at the state of our country and it ain't taxes that are the problem.
One interacts differently with audiobooks.

When you read, you set aside time for it. It's all you do during that time. It's meant to be immersive.

Audiobooks are meant to be consumed while you're doing something else: exercising, driving, eating, or something else that gets only partial attention. It's not impossible to sit down and just read an audiobook, but it's not the main use case.

You might even want to read different books in different ways. Some books you want to devote your full attention to. Others might be best as light entertainment during other activities.
I am disappointed with increasing frequency to learn how certain individuals whom I previously believed to be serious scholars fall for the cargo cult of AI safety. Personally I find it difficult to believe they are willfully participating in such conartistry, and makes me question their views on other subjects. Although I suppose intelligence and gullibility can coexist and some forms of delusion are better pitied than scorned.

"but it's impossible to predict what others will use your tech for."

But a general purpose lightweight distributed storage technology?
Seriously no, then you can also blame hard drive producers for enabling tracking.

We all want some websites to store temporary information on out computers. Otherwise we could not log in to anything for example. And that the default of the browsers is to allow any random website to store literally GBs of data on your computer without asking (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Storage_API...) - then this is really the choice of ad financed browser developers - and the choice of the users to just accept that behavior (ignorance can also be a choice).

Tcl is super interesting from a historical point of view. It seems to hit about halfway between shell and Lisp.

With some small differences, it probably would have competed more directly against Perl, Python, or maybe Lua. As it is, it gave us Wish, plus a bunch of GUI wrappers for shell scripts, and we’re thankful for those.

Why is it reasonable to be so reductionist about e.g. GPT-4 but not be so reductionist about a biological brain? E.g., why can't I say that your brain is nothing but a bunch of biological neurons trained using its input and intialized based on your genetics? It's equally true, and equally missing the point.

Sorry, was trying to use an US "definition", I might have failed at that.

In Europe everyone who needs to state that things so seriously is usually a fascist nutjob. Not that you can not hold some of that views (well the guns one is definitely US-centric) , I myself may be not so far from some of them (as they are stated, which seems like a trap) but if you need to make them the issues to die on a hill for... yes you are really, really leaning fascist.
Which part is the "theft". They existed to make AI and behold, they did AI.

You can argue they didn't open-source it, as their name suggests, but they also were denied a billion of funding that Musk kept promising until they were literally out of money.

What they did was a matter of survival. Of course they're not blameless in their actions now. They're clearly building a very powerful business. But they were put in this position. It was either this, or OpenAI wouldn't exist.

Eh, it's relative. You can get that for like 10 euros a month in Romania and they throw in a mobile phone and some cable channels to boot I think.
I wonder if there's some shenanigans going on there. Max TDP in an M1 is surely far lower than the max TDP of an i7-1255U, which it outperforms. Most M1 systems don't even have fans but can perform at max performance for extended times. U-series i7s can also be run fan-less, but performance will be compromised?

I mean, your entire counter-argument is linking a single person's opinion piece. He says that in general more computation is "good" and that search/learning "seem" to scale with computation. That's about it. It doesn't refute the key ideas at all.

He also gives the stereotypical horribly flawed trope about how "some people in the past didn't think computers could beat them in chess, and they were wrong, then some people thought computers couldn't beat them in go, and they were wrong, so now what they say about machine learning today must be wrong too".

Which is a completely illogical line of reasoning. By that reasoning, I present this same argument: When cars were first invented some people said that they'd never be able to reach 50mph, and they were proven wrong, then some people said they'd never be able to reach 150mph, and they were proven wrong, and therefore anyone that doubts my claim that we'll have 1,500mph cars on our streets next year is obviously wrong, because look, some people in the past made bad predictions.

> This is the situation right now because of copyright.I don't see why it would be worse without

Right now some artists can afford to dedicate a significant amount of their time to creating art, because they are compensated for it. If copyright did not exist, even the "starving artists" would have to spend more of their time and effort in non-creative jobs, and thus have less time and energy to create art.

By pointing to the current system they are addressing the possibility that there could be a better system. We had a better system that was perverted into what we have today. A new system would have the same problem and it is much easier to pervert an existing law than to introduce a new law. No abolishing it has a better chance of killing it going forward instead of keeping the vector for that type of control alive.
Immigration is also dependent on pronatalist policies. It may seem like a bold statement but humanitiy will not exist without natalism.

Of course I could be wrong, if anyone knows of a root cause of humans other than birth it would be much appreciated. Most proposed sources such as immaculate conception depend on unverified religious claims.

> Remember, if someone has to ASK you or have you CONSENT you can say no. But it seems people don't know they can refuse anymore.

"Just say no" on police matters is not good universal advice. It can have undesirable consequences.

Two immediate examples:

If you're pulled over and the cop wants to search your car for drugs, you can play roadside lawyer if you'd like. Say no-- it's your right. They'll bring in a drug dog, it'll ring positive (coerced or not), then they proceed to disassemble your car to punish you for being obstinate-- we're talking ripping off door panels and liners to look behind and underneath. Reassembly is for you to deal with. If you have nothing to hide, you save yourself some trouble by just consenting before they call in the dog, which only ever increases the invasiveness of the search. Fail early.

Same for DUI. You don't have to take a roadside sobriety test. Invoking your right to say no means you're getting detained anyway and will spend the next few hours in the hospital lab, which you will be billed for later. If you were drunk, you lose either way, but being stubborn is the costlier approach. Fail early.

You have some rights on land you own. Fewer rights on land you rent. No rights on the road.

Is your brother in Scotland? If not he should get his tax code checked.

Combining income tax and national insurance contributions, the highest marginal tax rate on your salary is 47%, and that is only on everything over £125k (about $150k).

The vast majority of people are in the standard rate band where you pay 20% IT and 12% NI contributions, a total of 32% on what you earn over the tax free allowance £12,500 and under the £50k higher rate threshold, at which point it switches to 40% IT and just 2% NI.

If you earn £50k you will pay 23% total tax on your salary.

If you earn £125k you pay about 38% total tax on your salary.

The very highest marginal rate he should pay is 47%, if he is paying more then someone screwed up.

In Scotland they have slightly higher rates.
A problem relevant to this case directly is why works can be under copyright after the passing of their creator. There shouldn't be an Andy Warhol Foundation licensing works. This is purely a rent seeking behavior. The money made from licensing Andy Warhol works does not fund further output by the artist. They are dead. You just have some randos extracting wealth from society for the privilege to use something that the creator profited from long ago. The work of dead artists should be in the public domain.

GQ makes several dosimeters, I own the dual-tube GMC-500+.

The cheaper single tube dosimeters will max out and saturate at radiation levels far below those that are immediately harmful to human health. (This was the source of the famous "3.6 roentgen per hour, not great, not terrible" meme-- he was looking at a meter that was reading off-scale high at 0.001 R/s)

If you're buying a dosimeter with the threat in nuclear war in mind, check the specs for maximum readings.
I doubt it has anything to do with molecular dipoles. More likely I'd guess ionized radionuclides adsorb onto macroscopic dust particles (or some similar mechanism), which then maintain a net charge imbalance.

First time I hear Elon Musk have an accurate self-assesment.

Yup, the problem with cascade failures is when it becomes obvious its often too late to do anything about it but watch.

I've been talking about this for a long while now. It pretty much follows the AI economic doomsday scenario to a tee, where AI destroys factor markets replacing workers, people can't get food, unrest then happens as people die, and then its the end for a large portion of us. Won't happen overnight, but slow and full of suffering. It has happened this way every time the economic cycle stalls, and we currently have at least 5B people over-provisioned for the planet when certain food systems fail there's only one thing that can happen.

Very predictable too if one were properly educated with a decent amount of economics and actual history and not the trite crap they teach these days in public education.

Support systems are in place, but the only way to fund them is to print money from nothing, and anyone that knows anything knows this runs fiat straight into an economic calculation problem (non-market socialism) which doesn't work. Its just a matter of time before debasement reaches a critical threshold (which we are close to already).
You’d include it the language in the budget. When the Congress actually has a choice as to whether or not to spend the money. Doing it after a contract has been issued and the bill is due is asinine.
Yes? Are you contradicting me or just adding another route in which broad availability of art would be limited?

Most musicians monetize through performance after selling copies. While there are some jobs for spec music, it's not enough to support all of the musicians who are currently making a living off of their music.

Please elaborate. So far it seems promising to me, but I started using it just recently.
That doesn't refute anything that the OP said at all. You just seem to be pasting that same quotation over multiple posts for disparate reasons.
It doesn’t just polish the input. Tokenizing the output also significantly reduces the risk of gibberish especially if you do a grammar pass to ensure tense matches etc. It means a model with a much worse understanding of the language can preform better than something operating on raw characters.
Ah yeah, I think I had VDSL in mind! Thanks!
