Why are researchers focusing on single-image reconstruction? It seems like a party trick which isn't very useful, and pretty much impossible to reconstruct the original object accurately. It would be much more useful if many images from different angles could be used. Somewhat like NERF, but also predict missing views with 2D diffusion. Adding more images would get the model closer to ground truth.
HomePods "synergize" well with Apple Music subscriptions.

I also think they're a protective measure to keep people from getting someone else's smart device, which might lead you into someone else's ecosystem.
I wonder if this is normal behavior for them. I'm just curious and I have no skin in the game. But have you reached out to tesla about this? Is there some sort of battery diagnostic that you or they can run on the car?
One of the bigger issues is that it requires much more vertical clearance.

Rebuilding tunnels and bridges is expensive - tunnels especially are practically never built much larger than required. Stations, depots, carriage washers, and other related infrastructure will need to be rebuilt or heavily modified to account for the extra height of the panto, wires, and poles.

If you're building NEW track, sure, OHLE is the way to go. But there is well over 1 million route kilometers of rail in the world, and less than a third of it is electrified. Of the countries having at least 20,000km of track, only India and Japan are above 70% electrified. Cost of electrifying is estimated at at a miniumum of $1 million per track kilometer. (10 route km of a quad-track mainline would be 40 track km).

A large freight yard might be 40 tracks wide by 2 or 3km long... that's over $100m right there, and that's assuming the yard tracks are spaced widely enough, which they aren't always.

eFAD is quite a distinct disease from late-onset Alzheimer's. Just like type 1 diabetes is distinct from type 2 diabetes, the latter of which is as simple as "don't eat sugar". Both types of diabetes are linked to LOAD.
Can Guanfacine be taken pro re nata like stimulants? If so, how long is the duration on average?

One reason I have never considered the blood pressure medications is because, and correct me if I am wrong, if one takes them too consistently for too long, then sudden cessation can be dangerous and/or deadly.

> The non-stimulant medications are very good

Define very good. From what I have gathered during my browsing of research papers of varying quality, it seems that that non-stimulant options are perhaps at the level of "better than nothing."

If I remember correctly, those who do well on MPH tend to do better on Atomoxetine, but even then, it's no guarantee. I've also read plenty of anecdotal evidence from people using Atomoxetine, and it seems like a large majority either cannot even make it past a few weeks due to intolerable side-effects.

Also, the wikipedia page for Atomoxetine is not very reassuring with the statement:

A 2020 meta-analysis found that atomoxetine was associated with anorexia, weight loss, and hypertension, rating it as a "potentially least preferred agent based on safety" for treating ADHD.

What I really want to see if more head-to-head drug trials with all these medications and non-pharmaceutical alternatives.

For example, how much more effective on average are stimulants than non-stimulants? Are things like caffeine, nicotine, or both combined more effective than non-stimulants? What about compared to stimulants?

All I can ever find is research supporting if a medication is successful in reducing symptoms compared to a placebo. I just want to see them all ranked against themselves. Of course, I understand individual experiences would vary wildly, but I do think there is a potential for some utility in this data.
> Just because you can legally drive 55 or maybe even less doesn’t make it safe.

Generally, you actually can't legally drive that much slower than prevailing speed.
It certainly seems like it.
Measuring is a highly subjective and personal experience in general.

As a physics undergrad I had a fascinating discussion with a lecturer on metrology. I always used SI units, my friend always preferred natural units, and the lecturer used gaussian units frequently (which always threw me off).

My position was that SI is the only reasonable measuring system because it’s a widely accepted standard, has no silly conversions, and bears resemblance to things we experience in every day life. I can space my hands apart by a metre through guesswork and I’m generally quite close, but centimetres or inches I’m awful at (any excuse, eh?). I can judge how many kilograms something is but not grams or pounds.

“Ah,” said the lecturer. “But these are units you are familiar with because they match your everyday experiences. In mine, statVolts etc are the most natural thing in the world - I don’t have constants where I don’t need them, and my numerical results are at a comfortable order of magnitude”.

“The most natural thing in the world are the universal constants - planck’s constant, the speed of light, the charge on an electron”, countered my friend. “If I measured something in those, anyone or anything in the universe, under any physical conditions, can recreate my measurements. If civilisation ended and my calculations were discovered millions of years later by an entirely new intelligent species, they would understand it with enough legwork”.

I quickly became a proponent of natural units. But then 50mph signs being renamed to 7.46e-8 might not go down well with the highways agency.

Anyway, the point of this story is that measurements are measurements, as long as they’re consistent. It isn’t about intellect, it’s about what you’re working with, what you normally work with, culture, and all kinds of things. If you have a 17 yard thingamagig and need 2ft clearance on one side and 5in clearance in the other, then this is a perfectly reasonable task to ask a computer with a teraflop or so of computational power.
If we’re going by age of article, (1997) is probably closer:

Though, back then, most GNU utils were copies of older unix stuff, so (1980) or even (1960) wouldn’t surprise me.
Remember when Washington Post lied about Russians hacking a US power plant to sabre rattle for war? How about when the New York Times lied about WMDs which led to tens of thousands of deaths in Iraq and trillions of dollars wasted?

The news should be avoided because news websites are ideological war drums controlled by billionaires with agendas to push. These websites have led to direct harm. The New York Times is smeared with the blood of Iraqi civilians.

They don't even reflect the country or area they represent.

Supposedly "neutral" websites like AP and NPR routinely lie and smear facts to the slant of their journalists, as well. Politifact and other "fact checking" organizations are a laughing stock because of extreme bias.
Yeah, the endpoints bother me. I get charging for IPv4 space but they shouldn’t charge you for calling their APIs, especially since it’s one ENI per endpoint so I have a few VPCs which have half the allocated addresses used by endpoints (the old trade off between multi AZ reliability and the cost of allocating redundancy).
Not comparing here, but I just remembered that the first paper on graphene was rejected (twice) and one of the reviewers said something like 'this paper does not represent a scientific advance.'

ISO is great at keeping things immutable - most OSes auto-mount inserted USB sticks r/w by default, so your ext4 USB rescue stick cam be broken by one accidental mouse drag, or by a typo in "rm" command. And even if you fix one OS to not mount it r/w, it will still happen if you insert into your friend's PC.

On the other hand, ISO is guaranteed to be immutable, you need some real effort to break it.
This feels very late to the party? For one, I'm pretty sure hosts on daytime game shows have done this level of endorsement for a long time.

My personal favorite crazy point is how many of the supposed "improvised drinks" for celebrities are almost certainly not. For some true hilarity, watch any press conference of Alabama's football coach and see a perfectly placed coke every time. I seem to remember a handler coming out to fix the label for so that it was aligned to cameras on occasion.

I have a vague memory of some nascar thing where a handler was changing the visible hat on a driver for the different networks. Can't find that in a search, so may be imagining it. :(
Are you able to hyper-fixate on things you need to get completed? I rely on that heavily in my life. Without, I am as good as useless.

I've noticed that stimulants can make me hyper-fixate, which often times, can be very beneficial. I relied on hyperfocus prior to being medicated, and it seems like medication is just a on switch for hyperfocusing. At least, some of the time...
> Sometimes I feel like the fixed visual pattern of whitespace punctuated code gives strong contextual messaging about flow and structure, speeding up interpretation and understanding.

Realize that you can still do this with punctuated languages. In fact, the parser being whitespace agnostic means you have full power to use it however you deem best improves clarity, whereas whitespace-as-punctuation languages do not have nearly the same flexibility here. However much you liked fixed visual patterns of whitespace, that's an argument against whitespace-as-punctuation languages for that reason.

Some of Apple’s “side businesses” like AirPods or the AppleTV only seem small in comparison. For any normal company they would be success beyond their wildest dreams.

The iPhone 13 mini has been called disappointing or a failure with analysis saying it only made up 3% of new iPhone sales during one quarter.

Apple planned to sell 300m phones last year.

I’d love to own a company selling 9 million copies a year of a $600 device. That’s $5.4 billion in gross revenue alone.

And that’s the “failed” model.
I must be in my wrong mind then. :)

Just because it's a 128-bit number doesn't mean it should be difficult to remember, the standard notation goes a long way toward that. 2001:db8::cafe:f00d and fc00:bad:beef::1 aren't what I'd call the epitome of "can't remember"

Mind that real-world global addresses often have four groups of almost-random at the beginning, but it's usually not terrible to commit to memory.
Neat, will follow along.
Because the research behind them has never been fully published and subject to rigorous peer review, the primary sources we do have all appear to originate with the same tiny group of people, and the advocacy often seems to rely on circular reasoning? We should all be cautious about this kind of "movement" unless and until there is a robust evidence base to support it. Otherwise we might just get Agile all over again.
I was curious if this would include the likes of closing costs. Loan servicing fees and the like. Is still an absurdly large number, but I agree a better breakdown would be nice.
I don't avoid it, but I don't seek it out, either.

The way I see it, if it's relevant to me, I won't need the news to find out about it.
A lot of people online have some really weird puritanical notions about medication that affects the brain. Basically all of them should be dismissed out of hand.

Medication is fine, it helps a lot of people, even if it doesn't work for everyone. For some, the effect is quite profound, even life changing. It's up to you, and anyone telling you it's somehow wrong isn't worth listening to.

As to AI, what I want is a LLM acting as a personal assistant fed from a database of all of my daily experiences. My brain isn't that great at organizing and recalling data, so I want to take all of the data I receive and feed it into a machine that can organize and recall it for me. I want a digital copy of my brain that I can search through.

The AI can pick up from my conversations that I promised Bill the TPS reports at 4. Because I'm bad at remembering and actioning on things, it can pop an event into my schedule. Or it can pick up that I said I'd work on encabulator designs in six standups but there's no reference in my commit history and nag me.

I could ask "what do I know about encabulation" and get every article I personally have read relating to mazelvanes and perfabulated amylite. Or "what was that book I read one time about time traveling dogs", or "what's my sister in law's favorite color?", or "what did Kathy say last week about her kid's audition?"

Better yet, it could scan through conversations and guess that Alice wants fancy German chocolates for her birthday because she mentioned it 18 times.

There's just some things my brain does badly at. Just part of the neurological lottery I guess. I want to make up for that by offloading cognitive effort onto a machine. That will massively improve my quality of life, which has the side effect of making me much, much more productive.

I feel like this is a more positive way to help ADHD people. It works with you to make up for the things you're deficient at, rather than making you work harder to compensate. It's actual helping and not "you can do better"

I think everyone could benefit from this type of thing, but right now I see enormous potential for actually helping ADHD and autistic people.
That sounds great in theory, but what we're more likely to get with multiple app stores is going to be like video streaming. We have Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, Max, etc.

Instead of the official walled garden App Store that we have now we'll end up with the Apple, Microsoft, Epic, Amazon, TikTok, Meta, X (formerly known as Twitter), Steam, etc.

The German network is only 55% electrified on a per-mile basis. France is 53%, Portugal 49%... others like Greece are in the low 30s

EU wide it's 56%, brought up a good chunk by Scandinavia and Switzerland. Italy and Spain are the only two countries in Southern Europe over 50%.

There are a LOT of infrequently used industrial lines that see no passenger traffic, and maybe only see a freight train once or twice a day, if that.
Ocean electrolytic deacidification is interesting. CO2 dissolved in the ocean makes it more acidic, which disrupts marine biology and slows down further CO2 absorption. You can extract acid from ocean water using electrolysis, raising the pH back to natural levels. This requires energy input, but could be more cost-effective than direct CO2 capture. It may be able to pay for itself by selling the acid for industrial use.

What about an $800 phone? That is the price of the base model iPhone. That $1599 is to get a fully optioned out iPhone 14 Pro Max with 1TB of storage. Very few people need that much hardware.

Interestingly, the Samsung S23 Ultra with 1TB of storage is $1619. Just a smidge more expensive. Maybe it's the pen?

> Is still an absurdly large number, but I agree a better breakdown would be nice

For a country of 300 million, it comes to about $100 per person. It's large, but not absurdly large. (As in, it's in the right order of magnitude.) Particularly if it includes lending fees.
Doesn't the same sort of apply to eg. Microsoft should give you access to all of their existing software titles when you buy an xbox? It's not like you paying for Flight Sim now compensates them for doing more work.

One caveat! You must buy the M2 Pro (14" or larger, non-air) model to get 2 external screens.

We bought the wrong model to start with (13" M2 regular) and spent a week messing around with ours trying to get it to work with our 2 external displays when we rang Apple and they explained the difference between M2 Regular and M2 Pro. If you were buying one for yourself and budget was of no value, note the 13" and 14" are virtually the same physical size, and yet the design and technical capabilities of the 14" model are far and beyond ...

I wrote off the 13" as a loss and paid the difference myself, and now use it as a laptop at home :) Old design, yes, but it was such a nice piece of kit, no way I was gonna send it back to Apple!

Just because you have a perpetual bond to pay for something doesn’t mean you have to stick with it. In fact, 100% of your capital is still there, so you can either migrate or go on-prem with what you still have.

You can also engineer your fund to generate enough to reinvest for inflation. Your fund, and your ability to pay more as prices increase, will grow, so you can absorb reasonable price increases and maintain a readiness to bail.

Sure, but that's an (important) implementation detail. If this JEP is merged both Scala and Kotlin could implement their respective features in terms of ComputedConstant and get the performance enhancements for free.

Brave the organization runs and integrates with anarchocapitalist cryptoscams. That's far beyond anything Mozilla the organization has done, and if it's not worse in magnitude by itself, that's only because Brave thankfully remains a miniscule also-ran. Writing copy about sponsoring Web3 gaming expos is far stupider than writing about getting a sneaker designer to add some browser themes.

But yes, Eich and his horrible treatment of gays, which he still hasn't renounced (instead doubling-down and saying that the "deal" was that they could have civil unions but they went too far to get marriage too — they can ride on the same bus, but they can only sit in the back), as well as his nonstop promotion of conspiracy theories is something no sensible person would want to support. If you think Mozilla "[booted Eich] for politics" instead of for taking public actions that tarnished the reputation of the company, you seem like the type of fellow who would have cheered Stephen Douglas in the Lincoln-Douglas debates. As Douglas repeatedly stated, laws concerning the sale of "negroes" are no different from laws concerning the sale of dry goods or liquor, and the people of Illinois should no more tell Missouri how it can sell people than it should tell them how it can sell dry goods — that's Missouri's politics, and Illinois should mind its own business.
Perhaps it is reasonable to solder parts to the motherboard. It's less reasonable to charge a massive markup on storage and memory. The margins on those upgrades are well over 100%.
Like I said, a successful replication could happen at any moment. I was just cautioning that failures to replicate this early mean barely anything, and it would be historically extremely lucky if a paper like this (materials science, complicated synthesis, not well written) got replicated inside six months. Basically, unless evidence of fraud comes out we're not going to be able to rule out this result being real for months, at least. Also, we could get some really great evidence or a successful replication any day. It's just a waiting game.
Yes. And AWS do (sorta) offer a NAT AMI (amazon machine image) if you want to do more management yourself and not get extorted for bandwidth.

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/userguide/VPC_NAT_Ins...

I say sorta because it's built on an old version of Amazon Linux and is headed towards EOL with no replacement except "go build your own" as you suggest.

https://www.lastweekinaws.com/blog/an-alternat-future-we-now...

AlterNAT uses managed NAT Gateways as a fallback when the NAT Instance is out of service, but again you will have to make your own NAT AMI.

This is not to excuse AWS' frankly absurd NATGW pricing, but to point out other ways around it.

Someone on the team needs to know about it. That person needs to set up the API to expect properly typed inputs. Others can remain ignorant about units of measurement and the compiler will educate them.

F# has this built in but it can be achieved with libraries in some other languages. For example, in Haskell with the dimensional package[1]:

import Numeric.Units.Dimensional.Prelude
import Numeric.Units.Dimensional.NonSI (mile)

speedLimit :: Velocity Double
speedLimit = 30 *~ (mile / hour)

main :: IO ()
main = do
let speed1 = 35 *~ (kilo meter / hour)
let speed2 = 35 *~ (mile / hour)
let speed3 = 35

print (speed1 <= speedLimit)
print (speed2 <= speedLimit)
print (speed3 <= speedLimit)

GHC will give you an error because `speed3` is mistyped.

Having worked on GTM strategies for nearly a dozen new technology products at an international company and seen countless more, I have more than reason to believe that targeting the entire world at once is almost never done. You do your market research and make the best decision you can, scamming is no different. Scamming’s addressable market is dictated by many factors other than population: mean income by cohort, regularity climate, normal liquidity situations, bank policies, etc..

Also ironic that a paywalled news website is publishing something about people avoiding the news.

Costing money isn’t the problem. The problem is that people already have too many subscriptions and they won’t want to pay for one, let alone multiple sources that would give them a balanced feed of opinions/ideas/political viewpoints.

I’d argue checking out of news completely is more beneficial for society than paying for a single stream of ideas and the bias that comes along with that.
