So you can't show that customers pay more, or that authors and performers get less? Got it.

Appeals to "Ma Bell" are basically my point? If it is shown that they are using their advantages in audio books to compete in other markets, or that they are causing active harm to customers/creators, then I will be far more sympathetic to the whining of rich creators.

It is frustrating, as I mostly agree with the idea that exclusive deals are bad. But this is a very nuanced take where they aren't forcing you to be exclusive, unless they literally funded and produced it. (See Sandman on Audible. I'd expect that to be exclusive for at least a time?) If you can show coercion that they are forcing people into this deal, and not honestly saying "if you agree to this, you will sell about the same total amount, and get more of the cut," I will be more than willing to change my mind on that.

You write this like it isn't true. We're not talking about career officers here. We're talking about grunts. What is the fraction of grunt recruits in USA/UK that you think that could get a job with comparable pay, or (for the case of USA) could afford college, but they perferred to enlist instead?

Bad news for Bundeswehr, good news for German people I'd say.

I don't really understand the point of turning ChromeOS into Linux. The point of ChromeOS used to be a hardened secure browser only computer that would work identically with your login across systems on the platform. If you want a Linux laptop, why not just buy a Linux laptop. Why use do you want Google's dumbed down implementation of Linux.
Atomic – the Server Driven UI framework powered by atoms
If you insist on running models locally on a laptop then a Macbook with as much unified ram as you can afford is the only way to get decent amounts of vram.

But you'll save a ton of money (and time from using more capable hardware) if you treat the laptop as a terminal and either buy a desktop or use cloud hardware to run the models.
Here's the second part of a two part blog series I wrote about Atomic - the Server Driven UI framework I've been leading at REA Group.

Atomic is a second generation architecture that features hot-reloading native clients with a generic actions system that allows the entire UI to be defined on the server while maintaining a super dynamic, native UI.

You can build very simple things or you can also build very complex things like native, realtime messaging (which we've done and exists in production).

There's an accompanying video (down the bottom) which hopefully gives you a fairly good idea of the features :)

Honestly, this is what I wish Android's call screen was. Call screen starts by explaining itself, which I think could waste time, can be confusing, and possibly is insulting. Compared to a quick "Hey please leave a message after the beep."

I want to be able to send basically all unexpected calls to the screening, and only pick up if it's something I want to respond to right now. It feels rude to, eg, send a neighbor to a call screening service when I definitely have their number but don't want to drop what I'm doing to hear them complain about something.

I have a model y and it's the only car I've ever driven in where I need to give passengers a tutorial on how to do basic things like open the doors(from inside and out).

I actually didn't know about the emergency door openers until multiple passengers pulled them after their first time in a Tesla, because no one looks for a button to open a door generally.

What other previous articles?

As for the last point, that one is not about Audible, so... what are we even discussing here? The article last argument, which is after discussing DRM and monopolies where users are captured into a locked market, is that google and apple has a 30% tax. They don't go into any depth over why a general 30% tax in a third-party market is bad in a duopoly situation, presumably because they don't feel it is necessary.

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah - it does seem to have hallucinated a little tonight. It normally happens when I time the microphone wrong and send some blank audio, then it seems to want to magic up some sort of phrase from nowhere. Am working on a fix for this.

There is virtually no market for a $3,500 headset made by Meta. These demos don't seem like things that can't do at all, just things they can't do affordably. What can be done in a $500 consumer device will only increase each year. It is probably smart for Meta to keep slow and steady.
I disagree. “Funding the government “ is a policy decision; everyone needs to live within a budget. Secondly, eliminating all deductions except a standard deduction actually increases funding by avoiding the situation where megacorps don’t pay any taxes.

> Defenders can use anything, including weapons of mass destruction, to defend themselves.

Not according to the Geneva convention. Targeting civilians is a war crime, regardless of who does it.

In many wars, both sides claim to only defend themselves, often both sides even claim to have been attacked first. Just look at the last few wars fought by the US for example. Under such a simplistic moral compass as you gave, they'd both feel justified to do anything.

> Attacking to with intent to kill even one person is crime.

Dropping an atomic bomb on a civilian center is attacking with intent to kill.

It is just not so simple.
It's economics, not hard science. "Proof" is a different standard.

What the US government is doing is unsustainable. The onus is on you if you want to argue otherwise, I already submitted a link that shows the problem with it.

If the US keeps going at this pace inflation will either get really bad, or taxes will get really high while spending gets slashed. Or some combination of all of it. Either way, it can't continue like this for long before things break in a bad way.

32T in debt is bad, but if nothing changes that could be >70T in a decade.

The economic growth is too slow to sustain that.

The very first time my elderly mother rode in my Model 3 she opened the door with the emergency release instead of the button. That’s how obvious the mechanical release is. There’s only so much you can do, some people are still going to manage to injure themselves.
> building AI's that are much more than just LLM

Well, yes, by taking AI to mean something different than the current meaning. Of course if you build something that's not an LLM you may find a way to fix the confabulation* problem, but that isn't fixing what we have now.

The history of 'AI' the term is one of continually redefining it to mean something different, as the winds of technology and business blow. In this case, the assertion is that, under what we currently call 'AI', there's not a fix.

* I prefer the term confabulation over hallucination. See <https://universeodon.com/@siderea/109883198218504351>

Other carmakers also have this feature and it needs to be regulated out of existence.
There must be tens of thousands of companies that started or pivoted to AI in the past 12 months.

Many of them are doing stuff that has no moat at all.

Many, perhaps most of them are already giving up?

I wonder what is working, which AI companies are getting a foothold?

I have a Tesla Model Y and I like to do UX testing the first time they ride in my car.

People often have a harder time figuring out how to use the external door handles than getting out.

People more often find the manual door release before the automatic button.

I feel bad for the guy that got stuck but I think this is more of a panic situation where he felt there wasn’t a way out before trying to find the manual release.

[edit] to be fair both button and manual methods are very user friendly. They are both in very common hand resting locations. After you use the button once you never need to think about it again.
I don't disagree with them showing this off, just them avoiding making an actual product. Always be embarrassed by v1 and all that. I understand Meta has the cash to bankroll a decade of R/D (like XEROX used to), but iterating actual products actual people use is a far safer bet, and as a result the world actually gets products. "Explicitly never will be" only because of the bit I quoted and that these are two quite different products. One would imagine the final product would combine these two experimental headset's technologies.

It's not like Facebook, as a product, was some hidden away R/D project. It was iterated on in public.

Anyways, I didn't mean to poopoo the awesome work done here. I just want to actually use some of this stuff.
I think it is a mistake to acquiesce and let copyright owners bully AI model trainers over model data inputs. The endgame of this practice is a "pay per thought" society. This is separate from speculation regarding machine sentience -- as interfaces improve AI models will serve more and more as direct human extensions of mind. While copyright duration is a separate issue, and the current durations are appalling, copyright violations should focus strictly upon the output of models and how they are utilized. There are so many melodies in my head that I have not nor will I ever pay for, (some of which I would love to remove). AI models need also to have the same unfettered access to the commons as we do. Infringement occurs on the outputs -- application of copyright restrictions on model inputs is a violation of Fair Use and a definite money grab.
An interesting (to me) meta analysis of the discussion here: most people who find the numbers out of whack bring up charging at home at off peak rates. But home ownership is only about 65% in the us, and falling about 1.5% quarterly.

That is, home charging is not available to a significant and growing population. Home charging without a garage is pretty risky due to the high value of charging cables.

As it stands, a lot of car owners will continue to use gas stations and charging stations, raising their costs accordingly.
Potentially they could have semantics in the future, but right now they don't. If you make a user agent that relies on them having those semantics, that user agent will misinterpret a lot of web pages.

Yes, 100% agree. See <https://universeodon.com/@siderea/109883198218504351> for some thoughts. I think we're stuck with the term 'hallucination' in most usage, if for no other reason than cognitive sloth.

I don't think it's just drama. You're saying that the way that they're handling this is immature and confrontational. It's hard to respond to something with perfect poise when it causes an inordinate amount of pain

A very unhelpful comment, all things considered. The guardian doesn't hide it's left leaning biases, and has a consistent history of observations which tend to true, based on subsequent events.

ie, a priori, yes, some degree of cynicism about news is sensible. But, no, a priori rejection of all comment from the news is not sensible.

If you really just meant "I don't agree" you'd get better interaction by saying so.

If I want to do pole dancing, I'd rather not have my pole dancing teacher inform me of the evils of the CIA and mind control doing it. That seems to me to be an alignment of my goals, and the reportage from this paper.

Nah you’re blinded by the stats again. Americans are wildly different than everywhere else and far more diverse. Americans distrust of and hostility towards authority is unparalleled.

The number of kids with no vaccines has quadrupled since 2000 in America and millions of people, either through religion or otherwise refuse medical services. This is completely unlike other western countries. Australia’s diversity is nothing like America and nowhere like the scale. I’ve spent considerable time in both countries and Australia is nothing like America and it’s basically a mono-culture.

On top of that Americans have a lot of other issues like higher rates of obesity and drug use. It’s cultural here and it’s a lot of people. Way more by percentage than other western countries.

An Australian living like an Australian will generally have better health outcomes in America than back home.
It's a Norman door. A great example of form over function. Good designs are intuitive, but unfortunately, what makes for good test-drive marketing (look at the cool push-button!) doesn't necessarily make for good design. Yes, the manual lever 'checks the box' for concerns about a dead battery, but it is an unnecessary compromise of human-centered design.

Yep, I'm a skeptic. I tried it, and it was fine! Pretty fun, not that fun. Like going to Disney, I'm perfectly comfortable knowing that it's there, other people love it, and I'll go once every 20 years or so and have a decent time.

Maybe I just haven't had the right experience yet (I went to Epcot, not Star Wars World), but you could argue that about literally anything.

It's such a fascinating difference in approach between Meta and Apple. Meta literally invites journalists in to walk around its lab, shows off their latest advances in academia (including all the limitations and problems). Meanwhile Apple works for 10 years in secrecy and even after they publicly announce are making anybody with access to the device use it in SCIF-like environment with a draconian NDA.

And then, Meta has no real interesting in delivering anything other than a product they can ship to millions of people on day 1 at a low price point, while Apple is actively cultivating exclusivity of access as a marketing tactic.
Thanks to all who replied, guys.

Sorry, I forgot about my question for some time. Glad now that I suddenly remembered it, after seeing the answers.

I will read them in detail and then reply again if I have any more questions or comments.
Housing isn't expensive because it's grungy or not, it's expensive because the supply is less than the demand.

Some physical factors that might matter are underlying land value, single stair laws and similar things making building layout worse, how many 1br vs 3br units there are… not whether it looks old or not though.

You can't identify affordable (subsidized) housing from the outside in cities where it exists.
Ads operate under a supply and demand model. There are far far more companies pushing their products via psychological manipulation to win market share then some novel product relevant to your favorite hobby.

Every ad needs to be sold to a pair of eyes and those relevant, novel, and interesting prdocuts that would actually be useful to you have a much smaller budget and just are not that common. And so you get to watch liberty mutual and geico commercials, for the 55th time instead.
> why signal processing teachers in college don't teach Kalman Filters with this simplicity

> those who don't have the background requisites

Any college student studying signal processing should have the background prerequisites.

That said, it is easy to forget fundamentals. I have a couple theories for why professors don't use the intuition-before-rigor approach.

1) The professors themselves do not have great intuition but rather deep expertise in manipulating numbers and equations. Unlikely theory, but possible.

2) Professors do not generally get rewarded for their teaching prowess. And breaking mathematical concepts down to an intuitive level requires quite a lot of work and time better spent writing grant proposals or bugging your doctoral students. Cynical theory but probably true in many cases.

3) Once you understand the math, it is so much easier than the intuitive approach that the lazy human brain will not allow you to go back to "the hard way". I like to think this is the primary driver of skipping an intuitive teaching approach.

I would say #3 applies much more broadly than mathematical education. It is the difference between expertise and pedagogy. That is to say being an expert in a thing is a completely different skill than teaching others to become competent at the thing. Say you want to improve your golf game with better drives - should you learn from the guy at the range who hits the ball the farthest? Probably not. You should figure out the guy who has improved his drive the most. Eg, the guy who started out driving 100 yards and now consistently hits 300 is better to learn from than the guy who is hitting 350. (Credit Tim Ferriss for driving this concept into my head).
Or, maybe it's not yoga that's ruining the UK; but illegal wars, arms sales to Saudis with kickbacks, and Tories hollowing out everything good.

Maybe it's actually shit-heel newspapers ruining the place, pretending to be left while outing sources, smearing whistleblowers, and calling any rare genuinely left wing leader an anti-semite...

And maybe the idea that the culprit here is wellness groups is actually insulting, to anyone with half a brain.

> I think Apple is playing it properly here: Announce a product people really want, even if its very far into the future and may possibly not actually come onto the market for years. Use the feedback from the public to fine tune the product as it's developed.

Do note that doing it like that is not what Apple commonly does. Usually work happens in silence and secrecy, then the product is available within like 6 months to purchase (in the US, not necessarily all over the world)
