I have a ZTE MF286D that I picked up for €80 last year.

Installing OpenWRT requires soldering wires to access the serial port, so I haven't bothered yet (the native OS works fine for what I need), but as I understand everything is supported.
I have one eye. Can confirm its the same to me. Also always comically off with baseball and tennis. Pouring tea is also tricky for me unless I am holding both the pot and the cup.

And that's also why a "self driving" car isn't realistic.

I think the proper term for what we have now should, at most, be something more akin to "Assisted Driving Features" because right now it's far to blurry.

Lots of performance benchmarks but no measurements for power efficiency. Granted this is not easy, but it's more of a requirement than developing more performance benchmarks IMHO. My guess is that most people would rather Chrome improve power efficiency as a priority, which is why many use Safari on the Mac instead of Chrome.
Back in 2018, I had incredible results running Reddit ads. A CTR of 1.7%, a cost per click as low as 22 cents, and my landing page was converting at 18%.

Even back then, 100% of traffic Reddit ads was coming through Mobile, which explains why they really want (need) users on their mobile app. Desktop users just don't click ads, and mobile users using other clients don't see Reddit ads.

The tools available to me back then to run Reddit ads were a joke compared to other platforms, but with user acquisition was costing me around a dollar per user, I didn't really care!

It took me a while but is Ncat the same thing as netcat?

Edit: ah, clarified by other page:

> Ncat is our modern reinvention of the venerable Netcat (nc) tool released by Hobbit in 1996. While Ncat is similar to Netcat in spirit, they don't share any source code.
Honestly I wish people would just do that. It doesn't have to be in perfect lockstep but it significantly increases the amount of backed-up traffic you can get through the light in one cycle if everyone does that.
The one item in his list I have relevant expertise of sounds like naive boosterism, which REALLY makes me wonder about the others.

There were and are oil pumpjacks right smack in the middle of some of LA's and Bakersfield's residential areas.

Air New Zealand scales a weighty issue
Reading between the lines of the original article:

1. there are plenty of - consumer - GPUs, but it wouldn't be advantageous for OpenAI to fine tune the models to run on them, hence the artificial limitation to only use GPUs with 80+ GB. We already see plenty of projects working on adapting these models for 16-24 GB GPUs or even running on CPUs - that is obviously a problem for OpenAI

2. GPT-4 has been nerfed recently - there are plenty of discussions on this and I've also noticed it in my extended usage of both ChatGPT Plus and the OpenAI API.

Also, as a developer (disclaimer) of a project on top of the OpenAI API, I've received multiple messages from users mentioning the issue. Even in the OpenAI discord there are multiple threads of developers complaining about the change to GPT-4.

3. Plugins do have PMF - in the OpenAI discord there are multiple threads about accessing plugins via the API. There are also many projects working specifically on this (AgentGPT, repository loader etc).

My personal experience: as a developer, you can develop plugins but you can't charge for usage. At the same time, plugins are available only to paying users of ChatGPT Plus ...

4. OpenAI will wait and see what 3rd party projects get traction and once they see public interest in a project, will build that project.

I'm willing to bet the ChatGPT iOS app was built in a couple of weeks (at most) and was a direct answer to the multitude of apps on the App Store.

5. OpenAI needs the cover of regulation. They developed their models without it but now regulation could help to prevent others from reaching their levels.

At the same time, any open source projects that gain enough public interest will be copied/absorbed.

This reads like a KGB press release.

As someone who lives in a largely Victorian town with narrow, double parked streets, I look forward to the carnage of self driving cars. Seeing how they've been coping on big, roomy grid systems has left me amused that anyone has any hope at all for these things.

In the end, we'll regret the investment in these things. A few reliable, human-assisted tramways in and between towns is all people actually need. It isn't high tech, but it is high value: the ROI for society is huge. The money spaffed on self driving cars is just a waste.
One reason super high traffic cities will probably be the first ones to mandate self driving cars will be to optimize limited road infrastructure. Surely Beijing and Shanghai would go for it, they already have what Americans would consider drastic rules that limit when you can drive your own car (like even odd days based on your license plate number).
Apparently the US tax code is even worse than that [0]. How is this not generational tax avoidance:

> Capital gains taxes on accrued capital gains are forgiven if the asset holder dies—the so-called “Angel of Death” loophole. The basis of an asset left to an heir is “stepped up” to the asset’s current value.

(Cue the panicmongering 'divide the family farm' story. Obviously Congress and the IRS can't figure out different treatment of stock, real estate, investments, farms.)

This is anachronic. Musk was making the vision argument to claim that Teslas sold at the time (which lacked any kind of LIDAR or radar) had all of the hardware they needed to do FSD, which was sold as "just a few months away via software update". I believe that they still make this claim officially, since it's important to deny that they dif false advertising on this front.

This is true but it is also a distinction without meaningful difference. Transferring money from your account in Bank A to one i Bank B poses the same "problem." It's not Bank A bux to Bank B bux, it's $currency. But what actually happened is that an "excel sheet" in Bank A went from +$XXX,XX to +$(XXX,XX - 500) and the other's $(YYY,YY + 500); part of one bank's liability (their debt to you) was transferred onto another bank. Now Bank B owes you (at least) USD $500. Whether or not they see fit to make you whole that amount is akin to whether or not PayPal would.

Kicker: if it can't or doesn't want to pay you, that's a you problem.
Czech Republic, same era, but a home grown registration system (never used anywhere outside the country). The experience was exactly the same. :-D The web interface was something new and fancy at that time, but servers couldn't handle the load. Those who didn't fear Telnet got a snappy interface and could register for classes that were in high demand.

Is there allowance for file formats whose contents are dynamic, based on the values present in other parts of the file?

For instance "if value at offset X is 123, then treat this other block of data as format ABC, otherwise treat it as as DEF". Obviously can get complex. The Adobe PSD format does horrible things like this all over the place (:
The largescale manufacture and dissemination of poison in the biosphere needs to stop. And not only in my back yard - paraquat is banned in most developed countries, so the main story here is that how cheap foodstuffs comes off the backs of the health of poor people in poor countries, where our main concern seems to be if the fruits and vegetables have gone though a sufficient cleaning process before it lands on our dinner tables.

But regardless of paraquat, modern industrial agriculture is a killing field where shortsighted maximization of returns is offloading an enormous cost to the environment, and to farm workers.

At the moment, organic farming is being thrown under the bus in the name of "inflation combatting": people are squeezed to choose the absolute cheapest foodstuffs available in stores (not organic). One way to start could be to give tax relief to all involved in the organic farming supply chain.

But what do I know, that's just off the top of my head. We need the scientists, journalists, politicians, farmers and entrepreneurs with a primary interest in health and wellbeing to come together and showcase how we can change course here.
IANAL, but I am quite sure that is not how our country works. The closest legal possibility to what you're talking about is the government buying PayPal and turning it into a bank, but that's not happening anytime in the foreseeable future.

GPS satellites don't compensate for relativistic effects (except for the huge offset built into their atomic clocks), but receivers certainly do. The satellite orbits are slightly elliptical which leads to varying gravitational time dilation. If this is not taken into account, positioning is off by around 10 m [1]. This is an effect from general relativity, so it might be left out in simple textbook explanations.

It seems to me that it would be educational for you to read a little about how trademarks work. The stuff that you direct at me has thorough explanations; these are not my opinions.

They do mention reduced power consumption in the opening paragraph. Usually executing the code you want to execute faster also translates to the CPU sleeping earlier again and this increased battery life.
I graduated engineering school with a 2.7 GPA, I had failed 2 classes twice, finally passed with a B/D on the third try (heat transfer/stats), another class I failed once and passed the second time with a B, fluids.

> since humans can drive using just vision, that’s how we should do it in self driving cars

Not the strongest of arguments.

“since humans move around on foot, that’s how we should design machines that help us move stuff around”

“Since humans do long-distance communication by shouting, hand or smoke signals, that’s how we should do it in transatlantic communication”

During the 20th century, real-world communism (as opposed to the academic theory) always leaned on ye olde Russian imperialism, which, reincarnated under a new red flag, lent it the necessary muscle. Of course it was awkward to admit that the Communist bloc is actually an extension of the Russo-Soviet empire, so a lot of ink was spilt to recast the Russians/Soviets as liberators, bringers of peace and progress.

As of today, Russia is no longer even superficially left-wing in its state ideology, but the old personal and political ties to the far left in the rest of the world are still there. That is one of the reasons why "tankies" support the invasion of Ukraine and even cloak their support in the same "peace movement" jargon recycled straight from the Cold War era. That is also why countries such as Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua are sympathetic to the Russian imperial project.

Another reason is shared anti-Americanism, of course. The US has a much worse record track in Latin America than in Europe, no wonder that systemic competitors try to exploit it.
Same would’ve happened to Dall-E if Stable Diffusion didn’t kick in. And I’m happy to see openAI getting irrelevant, the sooner the better, to get rid of those “AI influencers” flooding the internet by shilling AI tools that mostly rely on OpenAI API.
That is really not much consolation, because you have to know what the law is before you can discern whether it applies to you. You may think there is nothing relevant to you in admiralty law, but then you go and take a cruise, or order some merchandise transported on a container ship, and how do you even know if anything applies when you don't know what it says?

Even if we assume that people not in the oil business don't need to know laws about oil wells and people not in the gaming industry don't need to know laws about casinos, there are still more laws that apply to everyday activity than the average person could feasibly understand. Good luck to anyone in avoiding the tax code.
Yeah but this is an ML 101 view of the thing, so let me put it this way

The topology of the (real) input data is part of the dimensionality reduction needed for the identification to work, especially at a given number of parameters

Understanding how the data is connected in the input (there are image lines and they form a "shape") helps a lot and CNNs used this to their advantage

Maybe a very powerful RNN could deduce this by itself, but it is wasted processing.

GPT also uses the input topology to its favour when it uses tokens, process text sequentially, etc

Zammad's approach to ticket tracking is very similar to OTRS, but with much more sophisticated features and UI.

I've worked with 4 other solutions professionally in IT, but since I discovered Zammad around 2017, I've installed it for all kinds of projects, be it in a startup, a large infrastructure department, an import-export company or a watchmaker's workshop.

I think it is as important in any business as project management or team communication tools, and I was surprised that there was so little discussion about it here.

Curious to hear thoughts on the benefits of the startup networks, high circulation of VCs/capital, and high concentration of like minded individuals in SV that give it an edge.
