It definitely can be a reason. You need someone to maintain it, which means you need a Perl expert. Perl is relatively hard to hire for, and you really do need an expert in most cases, the Perl language being what it is. Unlike, say, Go or Python, you can't just hire someone that "knows" Perl, you probably do need an expert.
Yeah, this is where we need some gov incentives. In the US with the infrastructure bill, there's a bunch of money earmarked for improving EV infrastructure. However, it looks like the current admin is looking at mostly building out L3. I really wish they'd instead put out incentives for employers and apartment complexes to add L2 chargers. You could install hundreds of 240V outlets for the cost of a single L3 charger. And, the more common those become the more likely you are to see them become a standard feature of parking lots/apartments.
Apple, Disney and IBM to pause ads on X after antisemitic Elon Musk tweet

If I am buying a car I am buying the smallest, most efficient and reliable thing that still fulfills my needs.

A car being big is not a quality in itself unless you need that size twice a week. An there are quite few SUV driving people that really do.

At the same time there are real advantages for small cars in any city that isn't designed and zoned around cars (so literally every city where I live). You find easier parking, fuel consumption is lower, tires last longer, most maintenance is cheaper, you usually have an easier time in traffic avoiding kids, animals and cyclists, because you will see them more easily, etc.

The title on this is very misleading. It tested USB 3.2 not Thunderbolt. While they are the same port, they are not the same standard. My guess Apple doesn't support 10Gbps over USB 3.2, only thunderbolt.
Keep in mind that vehicle safety is heavily regulated pretty much everywhere, and once you've paid the money necessary to make your car safe you might as well make it not garbage as well or nobody will buy your product.

Since they're making cars for international markets they have to meet safety standards for the entire world, which are stricter than those for any one country and so harder to meet. You can't compare them to the shitty airpod ripoffs you get for $60.

I should have said "sketchy" instead of "shady", as "shady" implies a criminality I don't mean to imply.

What's sketchy about it is that they were offering money to largely poor and technologically naive populations in exchange for gathering very sensitive biometric data from them. Identifying data that cannot be changed and can be used to track them without their knowledge. Their stated goal is to have every person on Earth take part, to boot. The whole idea couldn't set off more alarm bells if it tried.

I give them style points for using truly dystopian-looking "orbs" to do it, though.
> Genuine question, not trying to be snarky: isn't JS a great way to address most of those concerns that you list?

Backward compatibility is the elephant in the room about some of this stuff that most Emacs users absolutely take for granted. I personally have about 20 years worth of Emacs Lisp config files; and others have more decades worth. They largely have continued working for all those years.

I hope that whoever is working on this fancy Deno/Javascript stuff realizes this, and actually talks to some Emacs users if they want any kind of actual adoption.

When I look at the README, I'm seeing one mention of "Warning: This feature is currently unmaintained", and another of "Note: This feature is currently outdated and been disabled. However there is this to bring it back." This...does not inspire confidence in the minds of long-term Emacs users.

Now, maybe I'm being curmudgeonly and unfair. Like the README says, I do want Emacs to be a an editor for the next 40+ years. I just doubt it's going to get there without Emacs Lisp.
This would be interesting to consider. But at the moment, nothing is optimized, so many things must be tackled first (especially in the backwards path, for example, buffering) to justify moving to cupy. The goal was to use it as an educational exercise for me.

There was no nuance in his post, despite there being ample room for it.

Nor would "nuance" have helped when the substance was him agreeing with bad stuff said about jews. Like, what would the nuance be? "Actually I believe the exact opposite, nuance yannow?"

He could have posted "the bad stuff you said about jews was wrong". But nope, he did the exact opposite. He agreed with the bad stuff said about jews. Nuff said.

It was just him agreeing. Period.

Any other post is a distraction. Other posts don't cancel out this one showing how he feels about jews.

Yep, once we reach a tipping point, we’ll see a snowball effect where low-margin gas stations are forced to close, others have to push their prices up, BEV’s become even more attractive and so on.

With the number of cheap (mostly chinese) BEV’s available now and coming in the pipeline we’re already seeing some very cost competitive propositions.

I think that point is very close, maybe mid-next year if all goes well.

Hype in Science Communication
He started WorldCoin before OpenAI came around.
openai (the brand) has complex corporate structure with split for profit non profit entities and afaik the details are private. It would appear that the statement “Sam didn’t take equity in OAI” has been PR engineered based on technicalities related to this shadow structure.
Per twitter he was sending internal emails via his company account this morning.

>Of course, devil's advocate would point out COBOL in 60s was written with a lot more focus on lasting in general. They didn't largely have the same general attitude of 'we iterate quickly with our script kiddies' as is prevalent today.

I worked on enterprise cobol for nearly 20 years and can generally attest that cobol code from the 60s is absolutely nothing at all what you’re describing.

It’s brittle and constantly breaks, requiring 24/7 on call support for people to deal with issues so it doesn’t hold up the next days work.

It was not written with any semblance of engineering prowess. Most cobol written in the 60s was written by business managers, not programmers.

The reason it stays running isn’t because it’s battle hardened. It’s because nobody in their right mind would ever pay to untangle the unfettered mess.

> IPv6 also required hardware in the wild to be replaced

I understand that, but it was (is) able to do that in a mostly backwards compatible manner.

My question is: how is that possible with different MTU sizes? Have ISPs support 9000 byte frames and fragment to 1500 bytes for compatibility with the wider internet? Then something like PMTUD can be used to bypass this fragmentation when supported?

To be clear, I would love to have larger MTU sizes. I just don't see a straightforward way to transition everything over. I'm not a network engineer though, maybe there just isn't enough a strong enough impetus for anyone to dedicate the resources to this.

> pretty decently handled by regular Google

Don't underestimate though the utility of "being just as good as regular Google" at retrieving facts. For one thing, getting such things wrong is very frequently cited by LLM detractors as a major drawback of trusting them, even a little bit. If it's possible to reduce the "accidentally tells you false information" occurrence from "so frequent that people expect it" to "a total rarity" then for one thing, it would signal to many people that maybe when looking for simple answers, using something not called Google is a better use of their time. This would be very, very important to basically every big company out there (especially MS, Google, and OpenAI). Today I know asking Siri is an idiotic way to get an answer because it's slow and barely even understands the query itself. An LLM is already great by comparison at both of those metrics, and if it's good at being accurate in response, it's very intriguing.
Depends if you're talking about "OpenAI, Inc." (non-profit) or "OpenAI Global, LLC" (for profit corporation). They're both under the same umbrella corporation.
That is true. I went for a simple implementation of the layer norm and included it in the tensorli definition. But it would have been better to define it as a moduli for clarity.

First, this is an accusation made on OnlyFans. Second, he was 13 at the time. You'd have to connect this accusation to truth, and that truth to his adult life.

So I can't fathom her accusation having anything to do with anything.

They've made it clear that the issue has something to do with statements he has made to the board that ended up not being true. The question is of what those statements may be. Not about his potential childhood errors or his onlyfans "model" sister's claims.

So homosexuality isn't relevant here. But nor is what his sister claims.

> would have violated the “open” nature of the company

What's "open" about OpenAI?
I agree with you, but Apple benefits from inserting as much ambiguity as possible.

For example they previously unpaused X ads, but their ad spend has to be much smaller than previously. After yet again applying the pause stick, later as a carrot to X they can publicly “unpause” again but privately buy only $10K of monthly ads. They don’t get the opprobrium of looking like they have an animus against Musk with consumers who buy iDevices and also like Musk’s culture war issues.
The parent is, OpenAI Global, LLC is a for profit non-wholly-owned subsidiary with outside investors; there's also OpenAI LP, which is a for-profit limited partnership with the no profit as general partner, also with outside investors (I thought it was the predecessor of the LLC, but they both seem to have been formed in 2019 and still exist?) OpenAI has for years been a nonprofit shell around a for-profit firm.

EDIT: A somewhat more detailed view of the structure, based on OpenAI’s own description, is at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38312577

Silicon Valley is a comedy, and that was a joke, obviously. But you can't deny there's a striking resemblance between Ariel & Fiona, and Ben & Sophia! That's why Silicon Valley was such a great show: they did their research.

The entire final storyline is about an AI trying to take over -- if you haven't watched it, you should! But many of my friends who live and work in Silicon Valley can't stand watching it, because it strikes too close to home, not because it isn't funny.

I think it's much more likely that Elon Musk fucked a robot, after having mistaken it for a human being in a robot suit.

Its kind of underappreciated how much of a failure their entire software stack is (Bosworth should be the first to leave).

For those paying attention, the technical VR "stuff that works" is basically written by Qualcomm.

The user side Android system is, really badly done and irritating for people using it as people like Carmack have pointed out.

This is possible the biggest software development blunder in history, they seem to have spent 10-20 billion dollars on... Qualcomm making a good vr headset for them and them failing to deliver a good experience with it.
> mini anti-Apple screed

It's not the developer's fault that Apple forces them to bend over backwards and continuously update and rewrite huge chunks of their software just to make sure it doesn't get broken by every other macOS update changing or removing some essential API or feature that every other OS still supports.

The simple fact that OpenGL and Vulkan are supported on Windows, Linux and Android, but not macOS, which only supports a single proprietary graphics API that everyone is forced to use, should be enough of a reason for game developers to stay far away from it, and indeed, most do. Valve themselves have decided to distance themselves from macOS in recent years due to Apple's behavior despite openly embracing it in the past. If you're going to buy a Mac expecting to game on it, you should take this into consideration.
Disinformation and manipulation is already such an incredibly invasive problem across all media and all sides of political spectrum that I can’t imagine the majority of people ever changing in the way you describe.
In the same vein - I know just one person whose car has spontaneously caught fire, it was a Toyota RAV4 and this was just before any mainstream EV was available to purchase! They were driving on a motorway, saw smoke, pulled over and got out, and hadn’t been able to retrieve any luggage or anything before it was completely in flames.

Yes, there’s a risk with EVs, but there is plenty of risk with ICE cars too!
