> With the right abstractions, they would only have a single version of "Samsung OS", like you only have a single version of Windows/Ubuntu. And all devices within reason would be able to immediately update to the latest version of Samsung OS, like PCs can.

Sorry, but that's just not how developing for mobile SoCs work, and, regardless, Samsung ships Qualcomm chipsets in many of their phones. Once the latest version of "Samsung OS" needs a kernel version beyond what Qualcomm is willing to provide binary blobs for on a particular chipset, that's it for updates to phones that use that chipset.

And sure, maybe they could keep "Samsung OS" limping along on an older kernel, with some missing or broken functionality, but that costs time and money. It's not unreasonable for Samsung to not want to spend it.

Mac OS ships zsh since 10.15 as default shell as I'm sure you know, with the (restricted ksh subset called) POSIX shell pretty much the intersection of what works on both Linux and Mac OS. There you have the usefulness of POSIX/SUS.
Do you have links to some results for this 433 processor?

The only results I've seen is this [0] from April which is 70 qbit and it's all about fighting with noise.

It looks like overcoming noise is exponentially harder with more qubits and this whole quantum thing may never work for practical problems after all?

I don’t notice any latency issue generally. But, if you change your heads “default position” (i.e. instead of looking forward most of the time you’re now looking out the window next to you most of the time) it does take quite a few seconds to readjust and find the middle.
So this was one of the trap aspects of the free cert. lol. This is how you shape the landscape, by offering something for free, then when you have a big user base, just start making your own rules. No wonder LE was supported by so many waterheaded IT companies.

I too would be interesting in donating money toward this.

Given that the price since the original training effort has already dropped to ~$20 million, and that (a) the fundraising will take time, and (b) improvements are being made every day with regard to resource usage, you could probably get away with aiming for a much lower number.

Pulling a number out of my arse, I'd guess that training a comparable model will only cost $1-5 million in 12 months time, with the hardest part of doing so once you have the funds being acquiring the training data.
It amazes me how people are incapable of multi-dimensional thinking: you can pick a side without claiming that one of them is pure good and the other is pure evil. But we are also probably talking about the kind of people whose only cultural references are superhero movies and Harry Potter.

I am friends with a music band and they told me that Bandcamp is scammy and takes insane fees on digital music sold. I was surprised because I like Bandcamp as listener and thought I support musicians directly

They insisted that "80% to the artist" is a lie and those special Friday promos are somehow even worse. However they said they get almost all money from physical goods sales on Bandcamp so merch is a good way to support them.

Any professional artist (aka music sales is your income) can confirm?

Is it really a race thing or are you just hoisting a maladaptive framework on to a situation to further a tangential viewpoint?

There are white people in Flint too and I’m sure there are white people in Durango too. Having white people in an area isn’t some sort of talisman to ward off greed, incompetence, or social injustice.

I agree with your statement that it really sucks and it is not right or just or fair or acceptable but your last line is like lobbing a stink bomb in a waiting area and leaving.

That said, if you have proof that the area was contaminated because of the fact there are no rich white people in the area then you can make this comment and I will be wrong.

I think there are other frameworks that explain these situations like it’s an impoverished area, the company had misaligned incentives, people didn’t realize the lasting impact, and or just a general lack of competence and foresight.

I find these little race throwaway hand grenade comments truly only serve to keep people at each other’s throats and distracts them from the true nature of the issue, class warfare and psychological manipulation to serve as a distraction.

I’m not a rich white person nor paid by the rich white lobby.
Here in Europe, we are in a paradoxical downward spiral. And unfortunately, I see no end to it.

Understandably, we don't want our citizens to be spied upon by the US and have all that data stored in the US.

Unfortunately, our "solution" is to create regulations which cause so much disadvantage to European tech companies, that we will see our citizens use even more US built tools in the future.

We already live in a mostly US-built internet. Throwing more and more regulations at it only cements this situation.

It seems there is nothing to get out of this rut. Looks like we will keep feeding the patient a treatment that worsens their condition.
I happen to be a vegan and I have no intention of ever switching back to eating animal food, but being vegan comes with significant disadvantages.

I do not consider that buying plant protein extracts that are five times more expensive than chicken meat is an acceptable way of being vegan.

If that is excluded, then very few possibilities remain for ensuring an adequate daily protein intake without a simultaneous energy intake that would make me gain weight very quickly.

The consequence is that a fraction of my daily food menu is pretty much fixed, with little variation from day to day. The remainder of the food, which is chosen from various vegetables and fruits with little energy content, can be very varied, but nonetheless, on average what I eat as a vegan is noticeably less varied than before, because in comparison with a diet that includes animal food there are many constraints for ensuring enough proteins, vitamins and minerals, which limit the free choice of food and which require some planing of what to eat.

While this does not really bother me, there are many people who, especially when young, would not find acceptable to have to deal with such constraints.

I am a deep believer in free markets as the most efficient mechanism for distributing goods and services, creating better offerings and lower prices through competition and encapsulating risk in innovation.
Unfortunately, none of these apply to the privatization of inherently public commodities that run on top of an underlying network infrastructure. This can be streets, railway tracks or water pipes - whenever there’s a shared, standardized network that needs to be maintained by all market participants a lot of the mechanisms that make privatization appealing don’t apply anymore and you basically end up with the same tragedy of the commons only in private hands.
I believe the best way to make this work is by keeping the network itself in public hands and then having a competition of contributors to the network - e.g. electricity providers that add energy to the grid.

The meatpacking industry is challenged due to a labor shortage from the growing anti-immigration sentiment and overzealous ICE policing.

Great question. Lucky you are if Metabase is part of your data stack.

That's what killed Macos for me. What's the point of all that hardware if everything has 0.5 second delay - it's ridiculous.
The Economist holds to it's guns, until it's proven 100% the other side of the argument in fact is correct. After which they change tack. It's not only value but ALSO data driven publication. Although it's in some positions ridiculously conservative, it's also an excellent bellweather on the current 'accepted norms' in discussions on "macro scale economy stuff".

They changed tack on climate change and ecosystems disasters about a decade ago. After that it was pretty obvious the current trend on full economy scale climate action (starting from Wall Street using ESG in major fashion as a criterion) was coming.
The failures of this one have become a bit too obvious to deny.

The Economist is a bit like RT - denying that everything is going wrong in Kharkiv to a point but beyond a certain threshold they eventually stopped and admitted reality.

I'd be curious to see what their views were about Thames Water privatization were in the past before all this stuff came out. That'll give a clearer picture of their true views.

> which allows US federal police access to every photo you have ever taken or saved without a warrant/probable cause

I'm aware of that, though it's no different from any other US based cloud provider. I am however a citizen of the EU, so there's the EU/US safe harbor (or Schrems II) agreement in place.

In the end it all comes down to trust vs convenience. I trust Apple more than Amazon or Google, and about as much as Microsoft. Apple keeps my data on EU soil, and is a lot more convenient on Apple platforms. Microsoft sends all OneDrive data to the US.

I do however use Advanced Data Protection for iCloud, which e2e encrypts photos and others. All backups, including local ones, are source encrypted.
The intention of privatization in the UK was never to improve service. It was to transfer wealth from the public to the private sector. From this perspective it's been successful.

From the perspective of the British public it's been a complete disaster.
Is this surprising? People have been crying out about the effects of privatisation for years. When basic services mandatory for modern human life like water, ISPs and energy are privatised you end up with funds that could end up going towards investment or towards funding other public services are instead funnelled out towards shareholders.

The generational wealth the UK had in the form of North Sea oil passed off to private interests for their own profit rather than used for the creation of a sovereign wealth fund like the ones Norway has is a perfect example of the sort of backwards situation you end up in. That oil could have been used for the benefit by every member of the UK public and instead is used only for the benefit of the few while the public suffers under outrageous energy and cost of living increases.

edit: added missing word, "has" after Norway
I would think professional services organisations fall somewhat flat on points 3 and 4? The product of a law firm does not seem immune to being copied and it does not have minimal labor requirements. Taking on twice as many cases needs almost twice as many people, no?

Choice is a necessary condition for free markets. There is little to no choice in water, roads, phone lines, rail transport, etc. I still don't understand why the UK went down this path.
I think education is actually case where the free market would solve a lot of issues. Making schools compete for students would incentivise schools to provide a more valuable education.

I've watched this one several times on my stereo setup. I don't think the multichannel mix would provide a meaningfully-different experience.

The most important part of the BR2049 audio experience for me lives below 100hz. I don't need that .1 to feel what you are feeling. I have a DSP engine that siphons everything <60Hz off my stereo channels and feeds it into a quarter ton worth of subwoofer. Once you have this movie running flat down to 12Hz, your "multichannel effects" will be produced by the structure you are watching it in.

250/1000/1000 kgCO₂eq/Wh x 19.1 Wh x 8760 hours in a year / 2 users = 20.9 kg / user / year

> In general, animal neuron number scales up slower than animal weight.

A brown bear and a house cat have similar neuron counts?

Additionally, assuming neurons are meshed, the ability gained from an additional neuron would be exponential, no?

Worms come in at like, what, 10,000 - 100,000 for their entire nervous system, compared to 221,000,000 for a fowl, not only is that 20,000x - 2,000x linearly, going with the assumption that each new neuron is probably more significant than the last, it would be more than worlds apart in ability to think.

> most factory-farmed insects are being raised as animal food and not for humans.

And therefore if you eat the chicken, you also must be aware of the moral cost of the fact that the insects were killed for the chicken, which was then killed for you. So, morally, just eat the bugs, don't do a double conversion, that's inefficient.
We have state enterprises, and they are all colossal failures today because it is so easy to hide corruption when the books is not open and they don't have to answer to shareholders.

State owned enterprises are fine if something needs massive capital investment to start off and nobody has the resources but there must be a plan for the state to disinvest.

Then again I prefer subsidies like the US does for semiconductor plants.

I'm still using my LG G5 from 2016. On my 4th battery right now and will keep on using it until it dies. Still runs smooth browsing the web or even playing brand new 3d games. Batteries are 10-20eur on ebay. The cameras lack nothing and it unlocks with a finger print scanner on the back. This means that in the past 10 years I've spent about 550EUR on mobile phones.

About a year ago a friend of mine complimented me on a new phone, until I told him that it's my old LG, I just stopped using the case. He seemed annoyed after that. Must be because I got funny looks and giggles years back when I said I'll never buy a phone without a replaceable battery.
Surely no one wants to pass on future costs to the general public after the cream has been skimmed off.
