Consider for a moment: this is what the board of one of the fastest growing companies in the world worries about - kindergarten level drama.

Under them - an organization in partnership with Microsoft, together filled with exceptional software engineers and scientists - experts in their field. All under management by kindergarteners.

I wonder if this is what the staff are thinking right now. It must feel awful if they are.
its fascinating how media driven this is if people are still talking about the silk road based on its media coverage

Department of Justice and Europol have lots of press releases about other markets and busts and ways they failed to bust them, and how their size eclipsed Silk Road

I guess as long as the media doesnt parade it around or makes movies about it nobody knows
I don't really care which one you pick, personally. If this turns out to be a problem (ppl won't sell to minorities or LGBT ppl or whatever) require they flip a coin or something.
That phrase much like "There's no such thing as bad publicity" is not actually true.
I just picked up my 2017 iPad Pro. It was last charged Nov 15. Been sitting by the bed mostly unused since. Currently at 80% charge. I haven’t experienced what you’re describing on an Apple device since they switched the laptops away from Intel chips.

In my experience, the OS does matter. I can’t believe how bad the rest of the industry is at this. Amazon’s Kindle line is incredible at this IME, but those are pretty atypical devices.

I find it a lot easier to keep my EV between 20 and 80% than my cell phone. Just plug in whenever you come home and set your top charge to 80%.

This is such a weak reply. If you have something to add, it should pertain to the broad market, like the comment you re responding to does...
>Those are express trains, not "high speed rail".

I didn't say they were. I was replying to the assertion that there were no alternatives to slow trains that stop at every station, as far as regular people and their commutes are concerned.

>It's not going to happen anytime soon, because too many Americans love their zoning laws and suburban sprawl and SUVs. The ones with the most political power are all NIMBYs who don't want more development or walkability.

I'm not exactly optimistic, either, but there are definitely places making an effort. The problem extends beyond NIMBYs to a large swath of people who profit from the pain. Pensioners with auto and energy blue chips in their funds' portfolio, REIT investors, zero-tolerance nature lovers who have no hope of stopping existing industry and so focus on nascent projects, etc. We are far beyond NIMBY; a lot of people don't want anything in anyone's backyard.

This is partly why I think in-fill and purpose-shifting is important. If you really need a parking lot there, build it under the economically-useful structure.
The rule of thumb is you roughly double cycle life for every 0.1v lower you go (approx. 10% of charge).

I would only restrict the full charge level of you never need the full charge available anyway. Eg. I only use about 60% of my phone's battery, so I can comfortably restrict it to 85% and have plenty of leeway to avoid running out. If there's a decent chance you need the full battery, just use the full battery.

Also consider how long you expect to keep a device. A couple of years of daily charging is 700 cycles, so worth considering preserving battery lifetime if it suits you.

No you have misunderstood. As I wrote above:

"But you are not making a technical argument here unless you can define "understand" in technical terms. This is a matter of semantics."

I said the nature of their argument is not technical, since they are not dealing with technical definitions, but I did not dismiss their argument altogether. I clarified and restated their own argument for them in clearer terms. LLMs are not conscious, but they can still "understand" very well depending on your definition of understand. Understanding is not a synonym for consciousness. Language is evolving and you need to be more precise when discussing AI / machine learning.

One definition of understand is:

"perceive the intended meaning of (words, a language, or a speaker)."

Deep learning models recognize patterns. Mechanical perception of patterns. They understand things mechanically, unconsciously.
Interesting, I would have though a solution like https://temporal.io/ would be more appropriate for these use cases.

arf, just read a few comments on this same line down bellow.
Sure are, same with camphor laurels, yet they're everywhere as well
Top charge in a lithium battery is very arbitrary. Most batteries can tolerate going higher than the specified 4.2v, up to 4.3 or 4.35v - but the cycle life degradation is not worth the extra capacity.
Navy P-8A Poseidon Runs Off Runway into the Water in Hawaii
Doesn't this imply that there's one that's not?
I'm pretty sure most (all?) manufacturers already do (the first part of) this. 100% can't be the point at which the battery literally stops taking new charge - if you did that they'd catch fire all the time.

It's just that the manufacturers idea of what "100%" should be generally skews more towards the immediate battery life end of the tradeoff, whereas some users prefer to have "100%" closer to the maximizing long term lifetime end of the scale.

Some devices do let you configure stuff like this - I know my android phone will let you cap max charge at an arbitrary level (although it won't report that level as 100%). Many laptop bioses will have a similar setting (good idea to set this to ~50% if you're using the laptop plugged in all the time, or just using it like a server with a builtin UPS).
The danger with giving machines a will of their own is that people in the future might not look back on it.
Thanks. The next time I submit my "interest in availability" of a "certificate" for "transportation from the origin to the destination" on a "web service" affording a "data exchange between a service provider and a private entity requesting the certificate", I will make sure to hire a team of lawyers to look into ToS of all parties involved.

How could anyone confuse the words "free seat selection" and "1 left at this price" with anything other than "you are buying whatever, we really don't care and can charge for anything we want regardless of what's written in any listings". Silly me.

Saying that, I think I am starting to get it. My mistake was not looking into the origin and the legal definition of the word "seat" before attempting to book a flight.

But just to make sure I resolve this issue once and for all, could you please help me with a few more legal definitions?

What do these words actually mean: "reservation", "flight", "buy", "payment", "free", "selection", "person", "destination", and "confirmation"? Thanks again!
Almost nobody cares about saving batteries. Those are replaceable and cheap to replace every couple of years.

Innovating more battery life and leaving 20% battery life on the table sounds extremely pointless for what costs 20-30$ a year but lets you use the device all day instead of just shutting before the end of the day.
Good points but do you think if MM said it took us 10,000 clicks to see 1 ad, we had to follow 30 users of objectional content generators and we had to follow the same brands as shown in the ads, that it makes the claims of MM significantly different?
My experience with public WiFi is that it is universally garbage.

Tethering to my phone I get around 150-600 Mbit, a solid connection.

Public Wi-fi is usually like... 10 Mbit. And then after 30 minutes suddenly the traffic stops, breaking what I was doing and I have to click some usage agreement again.

Lots of public Wi-fi in smaller cafes/bars and stuff now is actually just backed by a 5G hotspot now as it's cheaper (no installation fees etc) so it's strictly worse than using my own plan.

I don't even try with Wi-Fi anymore outside of the home. I use about 70 GB/mo on my unlimited data plan.
Wish there were some answer. I've tried and liked red wine but even a few ounces makes me irritable, slow, and headachy for over a day after. Hydration, having with food, preemptive analgesics... nothing works. But, the same is true for beers so maybe for some people alcohol is a non-starter regardless of the inhibitor in question.

Ah ok a maths prize, cool! My prize was more general science. I'm very good at sciences but I have a mental blind spot for maths, I can understand really complex abstract problems but only if I can imagine them, explaining them with math makes it more confusing. It's weird :) In fact I was super surprised I won it because I screwed up the math part as expected.

Nice about the scholarship! I didn't get one but we don't really need them in the Netherlands. All universities cost a minimal standard fee only.
> This phenomenon of corporate advertisers being gatekeepers of the "public sphere" only exists in actually-not-public spaces.

I disagree with this.

A very common example is a person saying a thing outside of work, that thing being brought to the attention of their employer, and their employer firing them.

People know this happens, and it creates a chilling effect on what they say regardless of whether they're in a public or actually-not-public space.
> Now they are trying to unring the bell but cannot.

Well, they can unring the bell pretty easy. They were given an easy out.

For what it’s worth my grandfather researched sickle cell and found that l-citrulline supplementation greatly improves quality of life for people with sickle cell. Unfortunately sports supplementation and erectile dysfunction treatment was the more lucrative of his patents and he died before he could finish FDA approval work for treatment of sickle cell anemia (not a cure). As citrulline isn’t expensive no one was willing to pick up his research. He provided citrulline to his patients throughout his life as their quality of life improved dramatically as to be entirely normal. I don’t know that anyone kept track of them after his death, but his research into citrulline for other purposes such as erectile and exercise performance ensured that it’s widely available now.

I've used the 80% max charge setting on a 15 pro since the first week or so. FWIW, it seems Apple has it charge to 100% occasionally (about once a month) even with the setting active.

I wish you could have iOS artificially adjust/map the visible battery level reading to your 0-80% limit (as 0-100%) - starting at 80% gives undue battery anxiety... but the other reason I use the 80% limit is that it still lasts DAYS and I don't have to think about charging it every day. That and battery longevity is nice on a phone that may go on for 5+ years.

I'm just sitting here as a small-l libertarian that's in tune with the concept of logical reductions (eg Turing completeness, NP-completeness, etc), wondering when people will wise up to the idea that sufficiently coercive corporations are indistinguishable from government and vice-versa.

Arguing over this false dichotomy uses up all the air in the room, when we should actually be focusing on the amount of control being exerted. The richest person in the world has plenty of options to speak his mind, regardless of big advertisers no longer doing business with him due to his apparent views. Whereas I'm actually more supportive of the ability of the original poster to post his racist diatribe while not being censored by Twitter [0], if for nothing else than so these racist shitheads don't think too hard before outing themselves.

[0] Not that this is even a concern with the current "X" for this particular type of content.
So, none of this sounds like it could be the real reason Altman was fired. This leaves people saying it was a "coup", which still doesn't really answer the question. Why did Altman get fired, really?

Obviously, it's for a reason they can't say. Which means, there is something bad going on at the company, like perhaps they are short of cash or something, that was dire enough to convince them to fire the CEO, but which they cannot talk about.

Imagine if the board of a bank fired their CEO because he had allowed the capital to get way too low. They wouldn't be able to say that was why he was fired, because it would wreck any chance of recovery. But, they have to say something.

So, Altman didn't tell the board...something, that they cannot tell us, either. Draw your own conclusions.
Another "thing" is, he has been named by a board which... [etc]. Being a bit cautious would be a minimum.
That’s not how he structured the governance of the company.
> If they pile on after you have conceded, typically they come off much worse socially in my opinion.

Disturbingly myopic. As if the problem were simple! It's not. People will self censure if they fear retribution. This is particularly true when that retribution takes the form of ostracism, personal or professional. This used to be very rare! Now it is common. The concern about "first amendment rights" are a total red herring. Who cares about the law? Ostracism doesn't and never needed a trial.

What this boils down to is defending drum-head trials where the penalty is ostracism. To defend such a thing you have to minimize the outcome, claim that ostracism isn't so bad, or you have to generally agree with the outcome of these trials as "obvious". Both of these avenues are cruel and pernicious. There is little more painful than ostracism, and there is little or no justice in these judgements. At the very least, we all need to agree to a Geneva Convention on speech war where fine, we can personally ostracize someone but we cannot, will not put pressure on others to ostracize someone, too. That second-order pressure goes viral, spirals out of control, and its not fair not right and it's not just, no matter what your politics.
Morally they do. Secret laws and secret courts are widely recognised as inimical to democracy; laws that are too complex for regular people to understand are too, for the same reasons.

"___ is a lunatic and their message should not be permitted" is limiting speech

Replacing an iPhone battery is cheap, especially compared to replacing the whole phone: at the Apple Store it’s either $99, $69 or $49 and I’ve had other stores do it for like $40. That’s not too bad for a once every couple years cost.

If you see conspiracy theories everywhere I guess it makes sense that you'd accuse me of one too.

I wasn't being evasive and meant everything I said. If a racist says the sky is blue and you agree, does that make you racist? If someone says calling the sky blue is a dog whistle, does that mean you have to call it red?

Then given a shortage of housing and a house anyone can afford you likely will get 100 maybe 1000 offers per house. If it is a lottery then all you have done is made it so a lucky winner gets the house that would have been $1m for 250k say. So for the average person you have solved nothing infact they would be encouraged to leave for another city. Which is what a high price would have done.

You're assuming perfect information which does not exist in the real world.

Regulators are good actually.

Forcing companies to make truthful and accurate disclosures and forcing them to implement basic controls is important. It makes everyone better and protects investors and customers from unnecessary frauds and disruptions.
If the deal is big enough, it’s absolutely on the table. These are “cost plus” contracts. See Walmart and the federal government for examples of consumers that require these terms.

Now, the federal government, particularly with drugs pricing, turns a blind eye towards the suppliers just jacking up the purported cost. E.g. Pharma:“we want to make $100 per pill, it costs us $5 to produce”. Fed: “we demand cost + 10%, because the people”. Pharma:”Fine, let’s say it costs $90 to produce.” Fed:”Where do I sign?”

Whereas Walmart would say to somebody like Nabisco, “GFY; if you want your product on our shelves, you’ll open your books and give us audited cost + 10%”.
