The way we think about it is that we're building a product for organizations in scaling mode, and they have deep needs on the product-side. Flexibility on filtering, different client-libraries, a clean observability interface, etc...

It's possible that we open-source parts of our models, but fundamentally we think we can capture value by building a great all-around web product, and not just a set of eval models.

That there's actually reasonable arguments for biking without a helmet[1]. That bicycling is way more fun than walking or running. Even slow casual bicycling around a local area. Even on an old low cost bike.

I used to have to force myself to go jogging; walking for exercise is so so so boring even with podcasts/audiobooks. Now I positively want to go out biking most days. I had a mountain bike ~15 years ago and all the clip-on shoes and helmet and drove to hills and cycled off-road and it was huge effort and work, and I never enjoyed it as much as my friends did. Now I have a basic heavy squeaky bike and get on it and ride.

I like being able to sprint and coast, instead of sprint and stop while jogging. Being able to zig-zag side to side and feel the dynamics of the bike and my balance as it moves. Being able to move faster than walking while putting in less effort than walking. Feeling the wind as if I'm in a car with open windows or no roof (less intensley, but the same kind of pleasant sensation). Riding with no hands on the handlebar, feels like how bikes 'should' be ridden - more like the motions of walking but moving faster. Or maybe I would like one with higher, curved back handlebars for a more relaxed riding position.

[1] don't just stop wearing a helmet in a North American city riding on an 8-lane stroad with highway speed traffic, or a ride on the British A roads alongside traffic. But Dutch people don't normally wear helmets because their city design prioritises keeping bikes and cars separate, and keeping bike routes safe at crossings and junctions, and they aren't riding fast or racing. Most injuries of non-racing urban bicyclists involve motor vehicles, and the idea that an inch of polystyrene will protect you from a Ford F250 doing 60mph should be a head scratcher not a no-brainer. I would link "Why I stopped wearing a bike helmet" by former editor-in-chief of Bicycling, the world’s largest cycling magazine - https://www.cyclingtips.com/2018/11/commentary-why-i-stopped... but it appears to be gone from the site and from the Wayback machine. He also made the point that people say they wear helmets (or make their children wear them) for safety, but then choose helmets based on price and style, rather than safety rating and crash test results, which suggests they don't do it for safety. Also children should wear them.

The reason I'm making a point of "without helmet" is because it reduces the friction of going out and riding, and it reduces the sweaty head, untidy hair, "where do I put my helmet while in the shop" concerns, and having something strapped to your face/head feels bad. Plus nobody hounds the elderly to wear helmets when out walking in case they fall, but if safety was your top concern, you would.

How many of those require service to the government? How many require you to work in a position where living wage is a dirty word?

So many backflips through flaming hoops when allowing bankruptcy to discharge loans would solve it all in one fell swoop. Universities donating millions and millions to political candidates would never want this golden goose to be culled though. Creating debt slaves is good for business. All business. Good for the military too, in fact, and good for calling citizens lazy and entitled to justify bringing in more and more H1Bs working for less than their position is worth.

The more you dig the more it feels like a giant conspiracy. I am not pro "forgiveness" in the mainstream sense of the term. I am absolutely for no-fault, no question bankruptcy that eliminates the debt entirely. This would punish the lenders, punish the schools, and punish the government for their absolutely moronic decisions.
Your example has one thing that those condos don't have: glorious socialist realism waste of space - and I mean it in a good way.

I wonder if you’d have a monetization path here via enterprise support contracts and/or additional device fleet management features. The tech companies I’ve worked at have all had some amount of “use brew to install …” in our dev spinup docs. And IT doesn’t love it because when they get asked to support it, there’s no quick way to see what’s installed or what version without logging into the specific machine. And for whatever reason, it’s also challenging to roll out dev laptops with specific packages already installed. I presume it’s because maintaining them is difficult.

Kinda fuzzy what's "in the distribution", because it depends on how deeply the model interprets it. If it understands examples outside the distribution... that kinda puts them in the distribution.

General understanding makes the information in the distribution very wide. Shallow understanding makes it very narrow. Like say recognizing only specific combinations of pixels verbatim.
Language devolves just as it evolves. We (the grand we) regularly introduce ambiguity --words and meanings with no useful purpose, or that are worse than useless.

I'm not really weighing in on the appropriateness of the use "grok" in this case. It's just a pet peeve of mine that people bring out "language evolves" as an excuse for why any arbitrary change is natural and therefore acceptable and we should go with the flow. Some changes are strictly bad ones.

A go-to example is when "literally" no longer means "literally", but its opposite, or nothing at all. We don't have a replacement word, so now in some contexts people have to explain that they "literally mean literally".

This is a brilliant idea. Whenever I look at an image these days that has the "texture" of a generated image, I immediately start looking at certain features such as "more than 5 fingers" to determine whether it's real or not. If you could immediately detect those features and block the generated image from making it to production, that'd be a huge value gain.
I've no idea what the numbers are, but under grads have a cap on the total they can borrow and so you might have a lot of 50-year-olds holding their kid's balance in parental plus loans, which have no cap.

Buying a house to rent to Disney World visitors was a huge mistake.
Disney park traffic is way down.[1] Disney parks raised their prices to the point that they are no longer a middle class destination. Disney World prices have increased 5x in constant dollars since the place opened.[2] Disney parks have now had a total flop - "Star Cruiser Adventure", which cost US$4,800 for two people for two days and is shutting down. Turns out that LARPs don't sell at that price point.

> Most electric utilities have programs designed to reduce load because they don't want to expand capacity.

It's not just that. For society at large, the less electricity is consumed the better for the environment - all power generation comes at a serious cost: nuclear may be the most efficient but raises the question of security (especially in earthquake-prone areas or potential hurricane/flood zones), environmental contamination caused by mining, waste storage and nuclear weapon material proliferation; solar takes up a lot of space and requires energy-intensive and polluting production steps; windmills are a danger to flight; all fossil fuels are bad due to CO2 and the impact of however they are mined; running water is bad for fish migration; dam water consumes large amounts of land and is a perfect target to hit in a war (as the Russians showed in Ukraine a few weeks ago); geothermal carries a risk of earthquakes.
I recently discovered that using the Verizon website on Firefox is pretty much impossible, it similarly has nightmarish login/account issues. Whatever issue the browser has with the site even managed to break their new account flow on two installations I've had done in recent months. The installation and appointments were scheduled and performed, but nobody in their support teams can find either account in their systems and I have not received a bill.

1Gb symmetric at both locations in NYC though and a free Xbox One S and $300 Visa giftcard.

They have essentially paid me to use them as my ISP, and contact from their support teams attempting to figure it out is getting increasingly infrequent
> No new products are being ordered for the brands being phased out, which will cease to exist once their inventory is sold. Strong-selling items in brands that have been discontinued are being rebranded under Amazon Essentials or other remaining labels.

Sounds like the usual whittling of unsuccessful products and a consolidation of branding.

Unsure how much this actually impacts end users (except those thinking they’re being anti-Amazon by buying a non-Amazon product that’s aktually an Amazon product)
> If you have to have a screen anyway, might as well load it up with infotainment from strategic partners.

I understand this from the carmakers point of view. They want to extract every dime from my pocket that they can. But I don't want it. Having a screen for the backup camera is fine, but I don't want any ongoing services connected to it.
I can't read the article, so I can't comment much, but the problem is Airbnb will frequently give guests refunds even after the refund deadline. Our rentals are our small business and getting a cancellation with-in 30 days a $5-10k trip can be a real hit. The cancellation policies are to give time to rebook to someone else.

We have multiple full-time, short term rentals and will not list them on Airbnb because they do not let hosts set their own cancellation policies and even worse they will override the few options they do give you.

A real world example of this is happening right now for us with our units in Hawaii. We have a 60 day no refund policy. 100% refund before this. We highly encourage trip insurance and you must check a box to opt of getting it. In our refund policy we state do not refund for weather or natural disasters. In these situations Airbnb will give the guest a full refund regardless of your policy, where Vrbo will let the host decide if they want to break their policy because of the unique situation. FWIW we gave full refunds.
>Ambri’s liquid-metal battery consists of three liquid layers stacked together based on density. The densest, a molten antimony cathode, is on the bottom, the light calcium alloy anode is on top, and the intermediate-density calcium chloride salt electrolyte sits in the middle. “Think of salad oil and vinegar,” Sadoway says, “except here there’s three layers, and they separate because they’re immiscible.”

>During discharge, the calcium anode releases calcium ions that move through the electrolyte to the cathode, where they form a calcium-antimony alloy. The process reverses during charging.

Antimony's melting point is 630°c, Calcium's is 842°c, calcium chloride's is in between. It takes a lot of energy just to keep the battery in a usable state. I wonder how it compares to a molten salt "battery" that runs a steam generator.

It’s useful when you’re modeling a structure, e.g., P(x, y) or P(x | y), rather than a distribution. This is helpful in situations where generating samples is bad (CRFs) or your data imposes dependent features (HMMs). It appears from the README (and the authors’ previous work) this is useful for arbitrary structures too.
Why wouldn’t you want a cleaner UI and larger screen to show you the contents of that device?

Also why do you care if your car has a computer on it or not? Seems overly paranoid, bordering on luddite…
Strawman: no one said loud guests are the norm.
Yeah. If they get serious about this, real estate in Miami, and in Florida in general, is going to be seeing some troubled times ahead.
I'd expected that to be true, but as far as I can tell, it seems like there's a large segment of adults in their 40s/50s who have tens of thousands in debt and are unlikely to pay it off: https://www.axios.com/2023/06/30/student-debt-age-gender . This, combined with the younger demographics containing people on their way to repaying quickly or still accumulating, means that average is actually higher for older borrowers (even while the probability of being a borrower goes down with age).

I think this seems to be misnamed, or the naming is simply throwing me off. These are examples or use cases, but not real world examples unless they are used in actual real world applications. Looking at the wording around the examples, these are useful snippets.

Or is it that the phrase "real world" has gone the way of "literally" and come to mean the opposite?

The problem with this is that it has no memory across the different contexts. An analogy would be giving one page of a five page document to five different people, then taking it away and asking them to collaborate. While they can each give more attention to their individual page, none of them can see the whole picture and a lot of information will be lost when trying to communicate.

You can use multiple agents, or split a lot of information across multiple requests to one agent. The result is the same. Some problems require a full understanding of the whole picture.

I've thought about this a lot in the context of the desire people seem to have to try and achieve human immortality or at least indefinite lifespans. If SciAm is correct here and the upper bound is a quadrillion bytes, we may not be able to hit that given the bound on possible human experiences, but someone who lived long enough would eventually hit that. After a hundred million years or whatever the real number is of life, you'd either lose the ability to form new memories or you'd have to overwrite old ones to do so.

Aside from having to eventually experience the death of all stars and light and the decay of most of the universe's baryonic matter and then face an eternity of darkness with nothing to touch, it's yet another reason I don't think immortality (as opposed to just a very long lifespan) is actually desirable.

> It used to be possible to make a modest living as a genre musician

Really?

I used to play in genre bands 20 years ago. No one made a living doing it. There are a lot of rose colored glasses being worn here.

The reason musicians made money in the past is because there were so few of them. The barrier to entry - buying synths and studio time, distributing music, whatever - was so high that only a fraction of the people who wanted to make music, could afford make music. A lot of us just dreamed about having the money to even get started.

The result was that the demand for music far outstripped the supply of people who had the means to produce it. Which is profoundly unfair.

Now everyone can make great sounding music and distribute it globally for free. The result is a gazillion genre musicians.

Sure, none of them can make a living selling songs (how quaint) but in the past they would have been completely denied the opportunity to make music at all, even for themselves.

The current situation is much, much better: everyone has the opportunity to make music, and listeners have more music available than they could have ever imagined, and it's all essentially free.
Tokens are not 1:1 with vectors.
In the context of a band with multiple members, the product is the band, which does occasionally have different members. But not the music the band creates, which is going to be available freely on the internet whether the band/musician/label wants it to be or not.

Do you think record labels could replace Taylor Swift or Nicki Minaj with someone off the street and have them sing the same songs and be as successful? No, they could not, because all of the marketing and branding has surrounded those two individuals.

Even the most amazing song in the world isn't really going to have value if you call it "UNKNOWN ARTIST - UNKNOWN TITLE".

In addition to what others have said, they are required by law to allow you to clear the package yourself, even if that means they need to keep the package on hold for days. Choosing UPS as a brokerage to handle this for you is a separate contract from the shipping itself, that is between the sender and UPS.
Nope.

As a point of comparison, the orbital velocity of ISS is 17,000 mph.

The max speed of Unity was given as Mach 2.88. The speed of sound varies from 340 m/s at sea level to 200 m/s at 120,000 feet. So Mach 2.88 would correspond to somewhere between 1000 - 2000 mph depending on where it was attained.

To enter orbit, a vehicle must be simultaneously at orbital altitude _and_ at orbital velocity (in the correct direction).

Furthermore, note that quoting speed as a Mach number is fundamentally only relevant to atmospheric flight. Mach number is referenced to the speed of sound, and sound does not travel in the vacuum of space.

The Virgin Galactic vehicle shoots up to very high altitude but then simply falls back to earth.
i'd imagine sid is far more stable than arch, but that is just my anecdotal experience.

plus ... ubuntu is debian. can't rly imagine why you'd want to base a new distro that is debian-based on something other than debian.

arch is a cool distro that I definitely respect, but I don't think it is appropriate to use for a workstation that you need unless you are on a filesystem that will do snapshots before package updates such that you can easily rollback. ie btrfs/zypper.
I'm no extrapolating. I'm saying two mostly unconnected things:

1. streaming is bad because musicians get paid a pittance for it. This remains true whether musicians could make more elsewhere or not.

2. there are other ways for musicians to get paid for their music (but many contemporary musicians do not bother to explore them, believing that streaming is the only answer).
love this story very much.
