That is because you are interpreting "mature" and "immature" as terms for approval or disapproval. I am not arguing that mature adult characters should do all the supposedly rational correct decisions. I am arguing that their behavior is NOT the same as behavior of a teenager nor the behavior of 22 years old. The difference is not just in hiding something. It a lot of stuff like that for teenagers 2 months ago is long time ago while for mature adults it is yesterday. It is that mature adults form friendships differently then kids.

And good writing sees the difference. Take Breaking Bad - neither Walt nor Jessie make good decisions. But Walt is clearly mature man and Jesse is young and immature(and matures during the show). That is good writing involving mature adult, Walt, despite him making one bad and emotional decision after another. Same thing Game of Thrones in initial series - involves well written mature adults doing horrible things.

Then take writing in the Netflix Witcher (and everything that was said about it) or last Game of Thrones series. Long term friendship between mature imperfect adults is something the writer did not even understood. Complicated respectable mature women (who still have difficult personality) is changed into clingy teenager with crush. And judging from interviews, the writer just does not understand these aspects of humanity or of writing.

> They might be better at hiding it, but they still do it.

Then the character should hide it like adults do.

Forget night scenes, what about day scenes? Regular scenes in productions today look darker than night scenes used to be a decade or two ago.

And no, this is not a technical limitation: case in point, the new Star Trek shows. We've had three of them produced in parallel, sharing some sets and props, and they go full-spectrum - from "every scene is night scene" Picard, through "everything is underlit" Discovery, to "everything is bright well-lit all the time" Strange New Worlds.

The only reasoning I can think of for making what's clearly an artistic choice is that maaaybe it looks better on actual TV. I wouldn't know, who owns a TV these days anyway? But I got one clue - rewatching parts of last season of Picard on a hotel TV, I was suddenly able to make out colors and shapes that I couldn't on a computer screen.
that is not fair. it is easy to say, but sometimes very hard to do. things like these are not always predictable, and especially money handling often doesn't even come up as an issue until after you are married for some time.
I don't know if it has been shared in this thread but Mark Rober did a video earlier this year about drones actively doing medical deliveries in Africa https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOWDNBu9DkU
The alternative is numerical approximation, as I mentioned. Like always in physics, any analytic (ie. "closed form") solutions would also necessarily have to be special-cases, approximations, and simplifications. The problem with turbulence is that it's so chaotic and complex that it doesn't seem to be reducible to simpler models while still retaining some predictive power. But that's not very surprising; we're talking about the chaotic motion of molecules at the Avogadro scale! After all, we can't even write closed-form solutions (or even approximations) to the motion of merely three bodies under gravity, never mind ten to the power of twenty-three.

But what is fascinating about turbulence, though, is the "edge of chaos" – the boundary conditions at which laminar (non-turbulent) flow suddenly turns turbulent. On one side of the boundary analytic treatment is possible, on the other it is not.
15% survival rate for any startup category is pretty good. Why would one expect that specifically AI startups would do better than the rest? Personally, I would even expect lower rates, since now people see AI as a gold rush.
Same concept for reading - threshold regions indicate multiple bit values, but different for storage.

The 8087 used physically different transistor sizes[0] to read a voltage level that "stored" two bits inside four threshold regions. MLC/TLC/QLC/PLC use a single transistor but charge the gate to a different "analog" voltage that is between 2^n threshold regions - MLC has four (two bits), TLC has eight (three bits), QLC has 16 (four bits), and PLC has 32 (five bits).

Oh really, like who for instance? So far I haven't seen any ebikes other than maybe the no-brand ones on Amazon that do this. (But I would like to know about them if they exist.)
Compiling and deploying effectively destroys my train of thought every time.

The only thing that has helped is to reduce build times from minutes to seconds.

By disabling link-time optimization in pre-production and by throwing out Docker because it doesn't play nice with build tool caches.
The study thought of this:

> Procedure [of Study 1]: Once both partners completed the intake survey (month 0), we randomly assigned couples to one of three bank account structure conditions. We informed couples via e- mail and provided condition-specific instructions. In the Separate Condition, we instructed couples to continue using separate checking and savings accounts and to not open joint checking and savings accounts, for the duration of the 2-year experiment. In the Joint Condition, we instructed couples to open joint checking and/or savings account(s) (within 1 month of them receiving these instruc- tions), use those joint account(s), and discontinue using their separate account(s) for the duration of the 2-year experiment. In the No-Intervention Condition, we told couples that they could manage their money however they liked for the duration of the 2-year experiment.

Curious of the different reasons reasons people are creating Python bindings. Was it because the project started in Python, then when performance became an issue the slow parts were rewritten in C++. Or it started in C++ and Python bindings were added later.
> cancer patient is diagnosed, the GDP goes up. Is this how we measure economic progress?

Yes, obviously so! Diagnosing cancer early is one of the best ways to save someone from it. The cancer is there anyway, it's a natural occurrence. The economic activity that leads to and follows a cancer diagnosis is what economists call wealth: the things we do for each other than make each side mutually better off.

All the examples are like that. Nobody wants oil to spill, but accidents are a fact of life. The GDP created by mopping it up on the other hand leads to a cleaner environment, which is another form of wealth.
Licensing is the reason.

Licenses are written before the technology is invented. Originally we had radios and record players. Each new medium requires a new license due to the structure of the ownership of the content.

Publishers that own images for print can't post them on the web. The problem is the exceptional nature of the contracts. This is why things are so splintered. All the acquisitions of corporations may create even more exceptions to the licenses.
The one thing I never understood about the appeal of these bikes is the battery: it cannot be removed, so you cannot easily take the battery inside and charge it overnight like you can with all other bikes. This is a major inconvenience.
It's not self-evident to me that we shouldn't optimize for cars. Again, global urban density has been falling for decades, and is likely to keep falling for decades further. There are many, many reasons for this, but at least one of them is that when push comes to shove, many people decide that owning a car is a worthwhile investment, and that additional mobility allows them to live further out. In order to nudge more people into forgoing car ownership, you would need to make cars less useful and less worthwhile, because as long as that advantage is present, people will want them, utilize them, and demand infrastructure for them.
I write this from Western Europe perspective, it goes all downhill on social help from there anywhere else you look :)

You don't have that much of social safety net when working on your own, thats mostly for perm employees. Financial buffer is obvious, but what if you end up with some horrible accident or illness that will drain it and need more. The amount of continuous stress is much higher compared to perm employees, additional bureaucracy, the need to chase next employment, overall insecurity etc.
Folks that get laid off from one industry because of productivity gains go to another one. The most dramatic example is farming, where in 1800 it used be that 90% of people were farmers and in 2000, 1.8% were employed in ag. Closer to home for many of us, there are more software engineers and we're dramatically more productive this generation due improvements in languages, raw processor power, storage technologies, open-source libraries, databases, and tools. The price of our labor has gone up because we're able to produce more.
Why would they? The resale value has plummeted because they're both prone to breakage and basically unserviceable.

Against my better judgment, I’m going to make a statement that sounds incredibly crass, but is directionally true: those are all travesties that no decent society should accept, but at the end of the day, they’re rounding errors.

There’s plenty that’s wrong with America, but there’s no other country within the same order of magnitude of scale (or, hell, expand that to either a population of 50+ million or an order of magnitude greater, even) that has long term prospects as promising as the United States.

China’s on the verge of demographic collapse. Europe, as much as I love to visit and would probably enjoy living there, is more or less the definition of sclerotic. Every other country that excels at both human and economic development is too small to move the needle. Yet the United States remains, overall, a pretty darn good place to live and a magnet for talent and capital all over the world (to say nothing of its own beyond-bountiful resources).
I think that it is just what you consume. There's so much content produced and you apparently only consume things that back up your preconceived notions.
99% of what's posted on social media belongs in landfill anyway. It doesn't all need to be archived a it's probably not worth the effort trying to find the signal from the noise.
As I and the other commentor pointed out, quite a few bikes, especially the Netherlands, use the same standard engine and battery system by Bosch.
Another thing somewhat related to that is the branch prediction: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11227809/why-is-processi...

And there is also the cache prefetching that is pretty interesting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cache_prefetching
Bafang BBS series had only two wires (positive and ground) connecting the battery to the motor.

I think other motors by bafang have similar setups.
I wonder if they're really stolen or just reported stolen.

I feel the same. The fear with removable batteries is that they can be stolen. But every time my brother comes with this bike, he has to bring it inside to charge it. Not very nice indeed

As far as I know, ByteDance and many Chinese tech companies rapidly release new apps. If they flop, they move on. If there's engagement, they continue. So one app flopping isn't a big deal.
It seems possible for OpenAI to be profitable.

There are an estimated 1 billion knowledge workers worldwide. The alleged operating costs of OpenAI are around $700,000/day. That's $0.25 billion / year. Add to that salaries and retraining. Salaries: 375 employees at an average $350,000 / year comes to $0.13 billion / year. And retraining cost seems to be on the order of tens of millions per training run.

With the right subscription fee it does seem possible to balance the books and be profitable. Especially when they start selling bulk contracts to governments and schools and big corporations.

Yes on the client, no on the server.

Java's real success was ( and still is ) on the server - powering a whole generation of internet applications, and creating a cross vendor ecosystem that stopped MS leveraging it's client dominance to take over the server space as well.

I don't believe Unix/Linux would have survived the Windows server onslaught without Java on the backend and the web on the front.
Oh cool, thanks. I know about those batteries, but I thought they were usually for conversion kits / DIY ebikes.

But this page shows several makers that use them: https://www.bosch-ebike.com/us/service/ebike-models#category...

Unfortunately for me, I don't think any of those are sold where I live (Japan). But a standard motor/battery would definitely be a major plus in my book when looking for a bike to buy.

UPDATE: Actually, Cannondale does market a Bosch-powered, roughly-VanMoof-grade bike here in Japan: https://www.cannondale.com/ja-jp/bikes/electric/e-urban/adve...

Depends what metric you use. When was the last time you saw an overweight character in a leading role? Or someone with a distinct accent (e.g. Boston accent, NY accent, southern accent)?

You can see this very clearly in US remakes of some UK stuff where they'll add a black guy or whatever and increase diversity by that metric, but typically diversity goes down by almost every other metric.

And I'm not against adding black folks, I'm just saying that the US idea of "diversity" is exceptionally narrow, one-dimensional, and overall quite un-diverse.

Really? A Clockwork Orange, Annie Hall, Taxi Driver, and Star Wars all feel the same to you?

I think Stanley Kubrick's films alone are more different to one another than half the Hollywood films made today.
There are probably 50+ manufacturers that use Bosch motors/batteries, however e-bikes that use these components tend to be higher quality and considerably more expensive than VanMoof i.e. Riese & Muller, Canyon, Cannondale, Orbea
As an example, Canyon uses Bosch, Fazua, and Shimano batteries.
To be fair, I'd also agree with more taxes, provided those in power would be held accountable and punished severely for mismanaging it, but as long as they're unaccountable and spend my taxes like drunken sailors giving it to their golf buddies in the private sector while pushing for austerity for the plebs, I'll do everything I can to pay less taxes to the state so I can defund it of the capability of improper spending, and use that extra money to take care of myself and my loved ones.

You see, that is already happening, just through other means. The political situation isn't really favoring Joe Sixpack, or even software engineers, it's benefiting the very few ultra wealthy.

You know how nowhere near enough is being done about climate change? That's because no one in government really cares about the impacts on you or your family. Because the energy companies are happy.

Google and Meta stealing your private information without your consent? Nothing will be done about that either because corporations own America.

IMO the fact we pay lower tax and are all just thinking it means we're better off by default is the joke. It is the pacifier.

I 100% agree with you though, higher tax does not mean things get better, absolutely not. What people have to do is grow brains and participate in democracy and not via Twitter on Instagram but actually doing some work.

I was replying to someone.
I used this years ago and the comments reminded me why I never used it again. Common theme in the comments it’s a nightmare. I do recall it being ungodly prickly to get it to work and debug.

Now days unless it is required for performance I doing up grpc to handle library calls. I’m that lazy. Lazier than a node developer that imports the world for a hello world health check.
In Canada there is some complicated formula for how much you can expense rent, based on the floor size of your office compared to that of the living space in your home and how much you use it for working etc.

When my partner applied for it, it ended up being a ridiculously small amount.
I'm stuck watching old black and white movies. I find it easier to escape into a forgotten past full of previous cultural symbols.
I grow up in the 80s and 90s. That time there had been a small set of really famous actors. Today there is an endless stream of new actors. In the end, it almost does not matter what person plays in movies today .. how many Spider Man did we have in the last 20 years.
Also movies like the newest Indiana Jones. I think there is no true background from outdoor. I guess not in a single scene. At least it feels, like they did the whole movie with animated backgrounds.
Yep this is how I did it.

Using a subprocess and pipes wouldn't work with a .so file. I'd need to write a C wrapper to implement a way to call functions and marshall parameters in binary…

Meta’s Threads Could Make–Or Break–The Fediverse
Yes you can. There is usually enough parking around the area and just having a basic bus usually already leads to far more use of the area. And if there is really not enough parking, then there is a commercial reason to build it.
Oof, yeah, it would definitely suck if that broke, and couldn't be replaced.
> I had a healthy cash pile that I was saving for my runway and now I have building.

I have a similar tendency to get caught up in side shows, but assuming the real estate market is reasonably healthy where you are once the building is done it is an asset that you could liquidate if you wanted and that should net you more than what you put into it.

But if the market is not healthy then liquidation is not an option but you can turn it into an income generating asset. The hard part will be to rent it out to people that want to have living space whilst still having access to part of it as a workshop, such a mix tends to be quite bad (I lived like that for a couple of years but would not recommend it to others, unless your work is your life it's going to be frustrating).

Regardless of the outcome: you have created something that is absolutely off the scale for a single individual, and that's something to be proud of, your stamina and ability to stay focus during all of that time is proof that you are capable of incredible feats and the experience will serve you for decades to come in whatever enterprise you care to attach your name to. Your biggest challenge will be to choose between several options, (1) cash out, then continue to chase your dream, (2) become a landlord and use the surplus to live off and regroup (assuming the maintenance of the building doesn't eat up your time) and (3) find like minded individuals and treat the building as a shared resource (so allow them to buy in to liquidate some but not all of your capital and end up with shared responsibilities and labor). If it works 3 would be lots of fun, but it will require very careful selection of the parties that you allow to buy in. 2 will be less fun, especially if the building still eats a lot of your time but it may turn into a stable source of income. 1 would allow for a clean break at a (hopefully) slightly higher level than where you were several years ago, and with extra cash and more experience your chances of success for your other project have gone up.

There may be other options as well that I haven't thought of, and given that I don't know anything about the location where you reside (which is the main factor in real estate pricing) it may be a case of throwing good money after bad. But the experience is yours, regardless of the outcome and that is an investment in yourself. Those will pay off, even if not immediately.

Much, much good luck with all this, if you want to use me as a soundboard you're more than welcome to email me (mail in profile).

We've reached the part of the hype cycle where VCs realize LLMs are yet more aimless technology with very narrow product potential; so they start tricking an even less informed investor class into fund matching.
It’s normal to have creative flops too, but generally the landscape looks much better and healthier than now. And some of those dreamscape flops are likely low to mid budget or self funded projects.
The modern songwriting process goes like this: gather multiple teams of 20-year-olds with laptops into a conference room. Give them 2 hours to write a song. Pick the best song. When I heard about this process on an NPR podcast I said yup that explains everything.

In contrast, a member of the Allman Brothers was holed up in a motel or cabin trying to write a song. In frustration with writer’s block he went out to the local store. Inside a woman was chasing her young daughter down the aisle calling her name. He liked the name and went back and wrote the song “Melissa.”

Any attempt at visibility into the inner workings of ML models should be welcomed IMO. It's going to be essential in the coming years, if we're going to reason about or regulate them.
