I wouldn't think Merck would leave it all to the model? There will be humans still in the loop ensuring that the output is valid for their use case? I don't think we are still there yet where we can completely productionalize these models without any human involvement later on whatsoever.

A electric motorcycle is surely an efficient form-factor, and 100 km/h is fast enough not to be crushed out of hand, but it has all the safety issues of ICE motorcycles and is basically a nonstarter in a lot of places due to weather. Too hot, too cold, too rainy, whatever.

I want an electric microcar that will do 100 km/h. With climate control and enclosure. Or I want a totally walkable city. Since I live in the US outside of a tiny handful of places, public transit isn't going to cut it.

We’re looking at different msft stocks then because msft is basically flat from 5 days ago.
I wonder if there's anything like a "rug-pull-proof" licensing/development model. Even AGPL is not a guarantee, if a single entity owns the copyright to the entire project (through CLAs), and decides to switch to BSL, and has enough influence to make forks irrelevant.

I think Linux's model is the strongest: individual contributors retain copyright, and there are enough individual copyright holders to make relicensing insanely difficult. Coupled with the project's pace (and the pace at which they change the internal APIs) it basically provides such a guarantee. Most projects however are less successful and the users/downstream developers can't count on momentum as the safeguard.
> So instead of 30 minutes from Walthamstow to Brixton it'll be 8 minutes? How is that possible?

> There are 16 stations, or 14 stops excluding the terminii. If you stop for 30secs at each, that's 7 minutes in itself.

Or... you could stop at only 6 of the stops (express service). You could stop for 15 seconds door-open-time (as long as the crowd waiting for the train entirely fits on the train, thats very achievable - and crowd control can be managed by controlling platform ingress). Busses often achieve 3 seconds of door open time for comparison.

At a top speed of 60 mph, max acceleration of 0.2g, max jerk of 3 m/s^3 and travel distance of 2 miles per stop, the whole travel time becomes 13 minutes. Plus the 1.5 minutes for stops. =14.5 mins = 49 mph.

Lets schedule in one 30 second slowdown (ie. drunk guy holds door for mate for 30 seconds), and the average speed hits the 45 mph target.

I suspect the victoria line, being more modern in its track alignment, could easily be made to go 100 mph too...
> The government is as broken as we let it be.

How do "we" fix it? You can vote for two Senators and one Congressperson and even assuming that your vote in particular was the deciding vote and one of your choices on the ballot was someone actually inclined to do something, you now have a legislature in which the bad laws pass with a margin of 33 Senators and 174 members of Congress instead of 35 and 175.

The only way to fix it would be to fix the structural incentives in place, i.e. institute more checks and balances to prevent regulatory capture. But this is the chicken and egg problem -- to change the rules you have to be in power, but if you're already in power then you like the existing rules because they're the things that put you in power.

Or in times of populism, you use your power to remove the rules that were meant to constrain opportunities for corruption because they're inconvenient to your agenda, and then those constraints stay gone because they're inconvenient to the next administration's agenda too. So how do you get them back, or introduce new ones?

There is no question that will truly gauge moral trustworthiness. The most pathological leaders will craft answers that sound "morally trustworthy", but after taking the role will happily take whatever pathological action they please.

If anything, the OpenAI fiasco is more about the disconnect between boards and the companies they guide. It's not the first time I've seen a BoD take action based on information from the wrong people, but the fact that it has been so public makes it a great object lesson for founders and other leaders.

It was in Internet Explorer, everything being misaligned because of this difference was one of the reasons it got the nickname Internet Exploder.

Edit: To be clear this was more of just a fun fact, I agree with this statement. The misalignment was because people would build to content-box without knowing it was different in IE. Worse still IIRC they acted differently even before this CSS attribute was exposed, so you had to make it work both ways if you wanted your site to look nice everywhere.

It's certainly very favorable, but I don't know I'd say it's 100%, given bitter divisions in government and recent trouble with filling military positions due to Tuberville. Presumably the administration would have to spend some political capital to do this. Would they? I think so, but would not bet at 100%.

I think there's some confusion on what this actually looks like on the manufacturer's end.

When charging a lithium battery, your termination point is tied to only one value: voltage. 4.2v per cell is generally considered the maximum safe termination voltage. This is the theoretical 100% charge. And yes, if you keep pushing volts in, it will keep taking them until the call fails catastrophically.

Personally, I use 4.1 as my termination voltage. That's somewhere around 90-95%. You 'lose' a little of the maximum capacity, but lifespan is increased. I find it's fairly common for battery charge controllers to use either 4.1 or 4.2 as their default termination, but it's almost always selectable. You have to make a decision somewhere.

The flaw in this is that you're trading away a banner spec for something that users won't appreciate. You have to decrease the stated capacity and runtime of your battery in exchange for an indefinable amount of extra total lifetime. That's not something that consumers can/will take into account. They just look for the device with the most mAh or runtime.
To a point. There's an entire culture of software and processes around building up container images from scratch for deployment. There's a term of art that I forget, "Pets vs XXX", with XXX being disposable VMs, in contrast to a Pet computer lovingly cared for over time.

For many Common Lisp scenarios, it's actually similar -- start with the raw based image, load in your code and data, snapshot it, and ship the resulting artifact. At least for me, interactive development aside, it's not untoward to restart a CL system from scratch as a routine part of development. We're not running on Lisp Machines anymore where restarting was actually quite expensive (though there were anecdotes about how at some point it was faster to restart a LispM than let it grind through its GC process, I don't know about that).

However, I don't know how common that is with Smalltalk. How often they restart from scratch. Saving the image is routine in Smalltalk. Where in Lisp you CAN save the image, it's not necessarily part and parcel operationally, historically, or culturally to constantly save the image, especially post LispM. In Smalltalk it is.

I think with CL folk moreso build a new base image, load in some routine utilities, etc. to form a baseline. But application code and image are separate.

Smalltalk, they're not. Code is part of the image (it's stored separately, but it's presented as if they're one and the same). So the image is a much more first class citizen in the Smalltalk world, rather than, perhaps, an artifact.

Especially today, I imagine they have build processes that build up the entire thing again from scratch, but it would not surprise me if they bumped into problems where the image and the source code "don't quite match" that they have to suss out in testing before deployment, because something slipped through and tweaked the long saved image that wasn't properly captured.

In any case, while I'm sure it doesn't quite happen like that today, its not unreasonable to have someone ship a "ball of mud" Smalltalk image in contrast to one in CL.

> over the years I've developed some insight in visual design and UX … Luckily, I've always worked with designers and people who are better at CSS

I've always dreamed of trolley-bus like wires strung along interstates paired with robotic self-attaching trolley-poles.

In my head, semi-trucks (and maybe all cars?) only need 50-100 miles or so of range for low-speed (where batteries shine) warehouse/ports/downtown deliveries (or garage-charged commutes?).

Almost every trip I've ever taken beyond ~20 miles included at least some portion on a highway. Electric interstates could allow NY to LA in one shot and pulling off the highway with 100 miles to make the round-trip to wherever a load needed to be dropped off.

If attaching and detaching was automatic, there would be no need to electrify onramps or intersections or underpasses or anything expensive, just find the cheapest, straightest, easiest to electrify 80% of roads and slap up wires there.
Yes, I deal with this same issue owning a car. It’s choosing between buffet and a la carte pricing. When it comes down to socializing, you do not want to be thinking twice about choosing to mobilize to visit friends/family for cost reasons, and ridehailing pricing does that.

That doesn't tell you whether it was the numerator or the denominator that changed.
Some people are doing exactly this. The jibiki.fr project for example converted the Japanese-French dictionary from Cesselin into a digital form. OCR being what it is, plus change in orthography since the dictionary was published make human revisions necessary. It's a slow work as few people is interested in lexicography, moreso when dealing with "rare" languages or language pairs.

There's a trove of old dictionaries in the public domain, for languages that sometimes have no computer support except being encoded in Unicode (I've in mind a dictionary written in the Amazigh alphabet).

I've personally worked on the topic, on a niche language pair and writing system, yet it's far from being finished. With funding thing could go exponentially faster. This is something forgotten in the current AI talks (except from the artists point of view): the AI vendors would glob open data in an instant to improve their model but they don't contribute a dime to making the data available in the first place.

And it's not hypable enough to raise money. Heck, with half a million of the Microsoft infinite money is throwing at OpenAI I could make your post a reality with a bunch of dictionaries I've in the top of my mind.
From an engineering perspective the hull would have to be strong enough to support all the weight of the vessel on the foil mounts. I imagine this is not a trivial problem to solve and the vessel would have to be purpose designed for foils, so little retrofitting may be possible on existing vessels.
Most contracts also have a clause that a breach of one part does not invalidate the remainder. There are elements that typically out live the end of a contract as well, often the poaching and non-compete clause
> the spot (instantaneous) energy price will drop to near zero

Yes, and that means generation will become unprofitable.

We seem to be a decade or so away from the point where the investment on generation can't be decided by direct ROI. And nobody is preparing for this. Governments need a long time to regulate that kind of thing... so we can expect some problems on the near future.
Air conditioning in a busy 19th century underground tunnel system is absolutely an achievement.

Air conditioning an underground train means pumping that hot air into the tunnels. The tunnels have insufficient ventilation because this wasn't conceived of as a problem when many of them were built, and that's a challenge to rectify.

There's also the issue that the trains are already making the tunnels too hot. 4000 trains running back and forth generates a lot of heat from both the engines and braking friction. That heat goes into the clay of the tunnel and is very slow to dissipate due to the high heat capacity of the clay. The trains are never stopped for long enough for the temperature to drop, and so the temperature of the clay has slowly risen 5-12 degrees depending on the line from when the first line was dug in 1863.

Air conditioning the carriages of the new trains didn't result from any developments in air conditioning technology, but from breakthroughs reducing the thermal output of the engines and brakes. This gives them a heat "budget" letting them air condition the carriages without outputting any more heat into the tunnels than a standard train.
They could start with stick figures and placeholder graphics to communicate the idea, then level up; a great example of this iterative approach is Factorio, which redid some of its graphics and graphics pipelines over the years, starting off with basically MS Paint style graphics, then moving to a detailed 3D model transformed to 2D sprites pipeline.

All vessels have limits on the sea state they can handle, particularly small vessels. Very large vessels can generally handle much more. You can see how much more the traditional small patrol vessel is bouncing out there, my spine hurts just watching. I could see this being used for pilot vessels and harbor patrol craft, for sure.
Some drawing systems take coordinates in x,y but the origin is top left. Ascending coordinates go down and right. Then other systems have an origin at the bottom left so ascending coordinates go right and up. There's good reasons for both depending on the context and nature of the drawing.
