One could argue that the pittance that musicians get paid for streams is really them getting paid for their content getting marketed for them. This leads to concerts, where they get paid more for performing their content.

Yes, I agree with you that I would love to support more artists directly through things like Bandcamp or a similar platform rather than streaming platforms. I actually did look into doing it. Many of the artists I enjoy don't have any way for me to easily purchase their music directly. And I can only enjoy them through streaming.

Similarly, this was a great line from the LA Times obituary for Robertson:

>As the Band’s chief songwriter and grand conceptualist, Robertson turned old American folklore into modern myths, a knack that gave a timeless quality to such songs as “The Weight” and “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down”; it was as if he had unearthed the songs, not written them.
Roofs generally last for 30 years. In my neighborhood at least, which was all built-out in a 3 year period in the mid-1970s, most of the roofs were replaced about 10-15 years ago (they're rated for 30 years, but everyone pushes their luck as far as possible). Because they replaced their roof pre-~2014 it wasn't cheap or common to do so and thus very little solar was installed at that point.

Those who have had their roof replaced in the last 5-7 years went ahead and put solar on top. My guess would be that when the neighborhood "cycles" through new roofs again in ~15 years, more than half will elect to put in solar or solar/battery combo. We are due for a new roof in 2-3 years and plan on doing solar at that time, and possibly even battery.

I know I was close to having a hoarding disorder because I feel this way. I get a new appliance or whatever, and I feel bad that what I'm replacing is going away. It's like losing a member of the team.

Anyways, I forced myself to get used to throwing stuff away because I saw where it was going and got freaked out. Maybe I would've been a really minor case had I not tried to intervene at all, if such cases exist.

As someone that consults in this space I more or less agree with you. Requirements are derived from interpretation of UETA and ESIGN Act. Itext has a good write up and great library to leverage when taking on project like this. Docusign has a good writeup on esign/UETA.

That sounds kind of cool.

But yeah, I'd still be pissed if my dad left me a mess like this to clean up. The property is nice and all, but a lot of it may need to get torn down if hoarding caused any structural damage (it can, houses aren't built to be filled to the brim with stuff), and that's not cheap work to get done up front. Probably not that easy to sell if you decide not to clean up the messes either.
Respectfully - all of these "issues" get solved when you go from ~1%->100% market share.

100x increases in manufacturing volumes will do amazing things for final cost. Expanded market share to 100% will lead to every features imaginable being offered to the market.

Ending gas stoves, and gas distribution in general, is a huge win. Just as phasing out incandescent light bulbs was a huge win.

> * It's partly about where your kids graduated valedictorian with perfect GPAs, etc. I was considered "gifted" in my district, but I would be below average in the greater scheme of things.

One of the biggest factors for success is zip code; that needs changing too. And in any case, if you can graduate valedictorian in a shitty school in a shitty neighborhood, that's a big achievement nonetheless. Ivy League schools would be well served taking those students in, and not just for reasons of basic fairness.

> Top 99% of SAT is nothing. I read somewhere that 60% of Ivy applicants have perfect scores.

The difference between 99% and perfect has little to do with ability, and everything to do with the ability to spend time/money hacking a metric beyond reason.

> * It depends on the major they intend to pursue. If it's a popular one, there would be many fewer open slots.

That doesn't actually follow. If it's a popular major, then there ought to be more slots made available for students. It's not like Harvard doesn't have the money to make that happen.

... We may disagree on these, but I also agree that legacy and nepotism is a major problem, and that there are better schools, from an academic / learning standpoint.

yes, when we do this to history, it becomes filled with conspiracies. but is merely a process to 'understand' history by projecting intentionalities.

this 'compression' is what 'understanding' something really entails; at first... but then there's more.

when knowledge becomes understood it enables perception (e.g. we perceive meaning in words once we learn to read).

when we get really good at this understanding-perception we may start to 'manipulate' the abstractions we 'perceive'. an example would be to 'understand a cube' and then being able to rotate it around so to predict what would happen without really needing the cube. but this is an overly simplistic example
When it comes to cooking, non-induction electric stoves are a downgrade from gas stoves, even if they're the same price. Induction stoves are at least an upgrade in some respects, but a downgrade in terms of cookware compatibility. Phasing out gas stoves might be the future, but I wouldn't describe it as something that only affects rich people.
There is no real encryption with access. Everything else is BS.
Seems to me there's a confusion of ideas here. If you want to create "true" art no one is stopping you. If you're upset people can make more money by "undermining" the creative process by using tools then you're not really interested in creating "true" art with the "creative process", you're interested in money.
I guess I'm misunderstanding how SpaceX follows #39 in the form of "Whatever you do, don't develop any new launch vehicles," since SpaceX developed the Falcon 1, Falcon 9, Falcon Heavy, and is now working on Starship. There's probably been no point in their history when they weren't working on their next launch vehicle. Sure it's difficult, but just saying it's difficult is not the same as "whatever you do, don't do it."

I do think maybe NASA shouldn't develop any more launch vehicles, but I'm sure glad SpaceX is doing it and so are a bunch of newer companies.

Red Hat Linux 6.2E was the first "enterprise" release they made. Basically just standard RHL 6.2 but with long-term support. This release can be retroactively thought of as "RHEL 1"; The proper distribution that debuted as Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2 was based on Red Hat Linux 9, with the similar promise of long-term support. Future RHEL releases are carved out of Fedora releases, the spiritual successor to RHL.

From the article:

> ChatGPT is fast-tracking the commodification of the human spirit by mechanising the imagination. It renders our participation in the act of creation as valueless and unnecessary. That ‘songwriter ‘you were talking to, Leon, who is using ChatGPT to write ‘his’ lyrics because it is ‘faster and easier ,’is participating in this erosion of the world’s soul and the spirit of humanity itself and, to put it politely, should fucking desist if he wants to continue calling himself a songwriter.

100% agree. AI is indeed an erosion of the world's soul by the conglomerate of tech companies who are rabid about going after short-term gains.

The reason why people use ChatGPT is because using it is a maladapative response to go after the quickest solution, a response that would have been adaptive in a time of scarcity.

However, it is displacing a world of art and creation that was at one time meant to showcase the emotional and intellectual expression of humans into a cash-grab using cheap "art" that is soulless.

If any creation were a true abomination to the human spirit, is the creation of AI.
> For the same reason, the enthusiasm for the idea of installing solar plants in north africa and exporting power over interconnectors to Europe is gone. It's cheaper to install twice as many panels in a field in cloudy northern Europe (where capacity factors are half of what they would be in the Sahara) than deal with the costs and complexity of underwater interconnectors and transmission system upgrades.

I don't know about that, because long-range transmission significantly reduces the intermittency, even for the same longitude. It's not just about smoothing out the curve of solar production, demand patterns (due to weather, industry, behavior) will also have variations from place-to-place and these allow opportunities for power export.

Some places will have more dispatchable and expensive power plants than others, which also creates an export opportunity so that power is exported so that one country can burn less fuel. However, I admit this argument is slightly undercut by the question "can't we just build solar panels in the country with dispatchable dirty power?" True, but there's also a connection to wind power which is super local and random.

> I have yet to see a neural network actually learn representations outside the range in which it was trained

Generalization doesn't require learning representations outside of the training set. It requires learning reusable representations that compose in ways that enable solving unseen problems.

> On generalization - its still memorization

Not sure what you mean by this. This statement sounds self contradictory to me. Generalization requires abstraction / compression. Not sure if that's what you mean by memorization.

Overparameterized models are able to generalize (and tend to, when trained appropriately) because there are far more parameterizations that minimize loss by compressing knowledge than there are parameterizations that minimize loss without compression.

This is fairly easy to see. Imagine a dataset and model such that the model has barely enough capacity to learn the dataset without compression. The only degrees of freedom would be through changes in basis. In contrast, if the model uses compression, that would increase the degrees of freedom. The more compression, the more degrees of freedom, and the more parameterizations that would minimize the loss.

If stochastic gradient descent is sufficiently equally as likely to find any given compressed minimum as any given uncompressed minimum, then the fact that there are exponentially many more compressed minimums than uncompressed minimums means it will tend to find a compressed minimum.

Of course this is only a probabilistic argument, and doesn't guarantee compression / generalization. And in fact we know that there are ways to train a model such that it will not generalize, such as training for many epochs on a small dataset without augmentation.
You're conflating memorization with generalization, no?

I feel the failure mode should be pretty good though, degrade to a normal solar setup - probably with less airflow and higher temps but not worse than that.

Heat degrades panel longevity too so I'd actually assume a water-cooled system to outlive a normal one, in the long run I would be surprised if it wouldn't end up being cheaper.

I do agree with the simplicity of a solid state setup though. Whether it makes sense probably depends on where you live. Thinking about it, temporarily running "warm" water might help with keeping snow away, though I am aware that many setups won't generate much in the winter anyway.
A few years ago, solar panels dropped a lot more than 10% in efficiency when they got hot. I can see investing in water cooling them back then, but suspect that technology trends have already made this product obsolete.

If they really can cool the panels at a price + reliability + installation complexity comparable to conventional panels, it might be worth it.

However, our heat pump water heater is under 10% of our electricity bill, so if it's cheaper to just add 10% more panels + batteries, then this product seems like a non-starter to me. I guess it's possible this would make sense for heating swimming pools (they create an extremely large reservoir for the waste heat during the summer).
Yeah, you're just wrong. It's not like Amazon is doling out work to local delivery companies out of the goodness of their heart.

They're setting up these companies as part of their DSP program to limit their liability. They're following the chicken industries playbook(which shouldn't be legal either) by requiring the DSP use Amazon equipment, with a loan from Amazon, pay back by revenue from Amazon.

They're also using this as part of an anti-unionization strategy. One of their DSPs recently unionized and Amazon just cancelled their contract.

The problem is, society is set up now so that the ONLY thing people CAN do is go after money. It was pushed hard in that direction by tech companies like Google, Microsoft, and Facebook because they wanted to maximize pure short-term profit by sucking life out of people.

There was a time in history where you COULD create real art and make a decent living out of it. Now, AI has set up the ultimate PRISONER'S DILEMMA (game theory) situation where everyone needs to jump on the frenetic race ot the bottom to get their work recognized.
There are workarounds for that -- think satellite service augmented by local pseudolites -- at least until the customer drives into a tunnel without said pseudolites. At that point you'd fall back to a limited self-driving model like what many cars have today.

Agreed that it isn't something you could do solely over the public Internet.
From what I've seen, solar preheaters in the northern climes tend to use antifreeze instead of water, and have an exchanger in the loop. This way they can withstand below-freezing temps overnight, and be functional in the sunshine of the day. The additional benefit here being that you potable water isn't travelling through materials that are potentially degrading in the sun.
