I think this case is interesting in that it tests the distinction. It isnt a government agency, but it is 100% government owned and provides a public service.

I could see an argument that delivery is not a de jure function of government, but it certainly seems to a de facto function of government.

If a country delegates the execution of it's obligations to a private party, I would expect that it is still responsible for their fulfillment.
> Do you think Judges should be able to boycott hearing cases they dont like?

But this isn't comparable. Nobody has a right to register their car when they want. It's economic harm being caused in a precedented manner. Ignorance of the history of a country's customs and laws doesn't exempt you from them.

In America, national security is the precedented equivalent. If a postal worker suspects something dangerous is being transmitted, they're absolutely allowed to use individual discretion to delay or even suspend delivery. This is loosely codified, but not to the level of an individual driver. In Sweden, labour disputes are similarly elevated in a way that is precedented.

Interesting. And appears to make sense in theory.

a) Would need massive upscaling.

b) Would it work as theory predicts? (and is there scientific consensus it would?). Do the economics pan out as hoped? Unintended consequences? We don't know.

I'd be very hesitant to most geo-engineering plans for these reasons alone. It's a gamble, and we've done enough harmful geo-engineering already.

c) Politics. Say 1 country wants to do this. But neighbouring countries do not, and regard it as cross-border pollution. Good luck...

Pretty much the only certainty here is available raw materials (rocks to crush, and heaps of 'waste' sulfur).
I’d question the car analogy. For instance if tomorrow someone introduced a new method of transportation that would be quasi affordable and available to a middle class family and transport you distances in 1/100th the time required by a car there would almost certainly be instant adoption even regardless of economic conditions.

Today, though, I see companies like Tesla and OpenAI and cryptocurrencies gain gigantic enthusiastic followings without a whole lot of evidence of massive adoption and product/market fit. It’s pretty clear that underlying the enthusiasm is an economic interest in their success. That doesn’t alone negate the validity but without the adoption being self evident it’s very difficult to set aside my skepticism.

I remember walking down the magnificent mile in Chicago and going into an Apple Store for the first time and seeing and touching an early iPod nano. I knew right away that the device was an amazing leap forward. I of course didn’t predict the iPhone and Apple becoming today’s apple but I remember the “wow” factor that so many of these newer products lack. Again, I sincerely hope to be proven wrong here as I want better products!
I think the notion of a “public utility” in the sense of “common carrier” may be more important in common law than in the Nordic tradition. If Postnord had been a government agency, results may have been different.

But, and this is important, a mail carrier is not allowed to discriminate freely under Swedish law either. Labour conflicts are an exception (in many areas of law) simply because almost no one wants the government to intervene. Collective bargaining with some conflict to get the Elons of the world to play along is simply working out better.

Indeed,

The thing is, Nvidia has "done it" and still no one else is "doing it". As the gp points out, Nvidia launched CUDA a while and this made Nvidia's products general purpose parallel processors.

They have succeeded as that and yet still no one is selling chips that either have an equivalent interface or (better) are drop-in Cuda compatible (since we know interfaces and programming language copyrightable).

The situation seems a bit like early PC days when companies sold (roughly) PC compatible computers were appropriately shoved aside by drop-in compatible clones/white-boxes. A company that makes a thing "kinda like" the leader but with it's own sauce is just trying to carve a piece of an existing market. The company that makes something exactly compatible with the leader has an incentive to go further. I hate to say "embrace and extend" but there you have it.

So ... how does one evaluate the quality of a framework + benchmark without results like this? I feel like this would be a lot more compelling if they had at least some reasonable first models with result metrics and analysis showing that the tasks are both tractable and are good at revealing differences in performance and behavior (i.e. the problems should be neither too easy or to hard). For example, what if Amazon purchase/churn behavior is just largely independent from review behavior, and review behavior is mostly dictated by "did some company use this account to generate fake 5-star reviews?"
Well, any popular framework has all these things, and most frameworks have a lot more. Lit is really the littlest amount of tools you would want. With less than that, you can just as well directly use the web component APIs, and not use a framework / library at all. I don't know what you imagine would be a less opinionated way without having to chip in on usability.

For my money, less is more. Minimalist ROMs like LineageOS are a must-have, and when it's not available I use Android Debloater[0]. Usually I bounce all the unnecessary Google/OEM services and install better alternatives like Newpipe for YouTube and Firefox instead of Chrome. Media apps will be a matter of opinion, but I'm perfectly content with VLC. I do syncing with Syncthing, which is perfect if you spend most of your time on the same network.

Besides that though, I don't do a whole lot. The Android 12 UI colors are nice to play with, but I don't think there are any game-changing tips that will blow your mind. Maybe set up Termux so you can do programming on the side?

Stolen goods being stolen because they're stolen is tautological. Not sure why this is a point of contention?

And you absolutely can have in possession something that was stolen that you did not steal, as the nature of your relationship with a good can change in ways other than possession.
Is there a law saying that Fannie Mae is the only company that can do X? Because that's the case with postnord: only they can handle these plates, by law.

> particles still trace out world lines

Of course they do. That is perfectly consistent mathematically with there being two time dimensions. Two time dimensions is a property of the spacetime geometry, not of individual worldlines.

> whether you would want particles to trace out world surfaces

That would be a different mathematical structure, where "particles" would have something like "two time evolutions" instead of one. What that would imply about the spacetime geometry and its dimensions is a different question.

> I could just say let us deny ∀x(x=x) and run with it

How would you even do that? How would you even make a consistent mathematical structure with that as an axiom? And if you can't, doesn't that mean you can't deny that proposition?

> I could postulate this but I can not really make sense of a thing not being equal to itself.

You're contradicting yourself. If you can't make sense of it, you can't postulate it. "Postulate" doesn't mean "throw some words together". It means "take as an axiom and develop a consistent mathematical structure based on it". If you can't make sense of it, you can't develop a consistent mathematical structure based on it.

> Did we arbitrarily pick the axioms of logic or did we pick them because they make sense in our universe?

If we can't develop a consistent mathematical structure based on any other set of axioms, what choice do we have?

Perhaps being passive aggressive is a choice, not just something people need to do. I could use the latent, or manifest, threat of violence to get my way in relationships. I choose not to, because I like those relationships and want them to continue. Is that passive aggressive?

That was my point. Most cars don't have this issue because they use materials that don't rust as is. Why is Tesla choosing to use something that is hard to work with.
The law (including ECHR) protecting the private property in the mail that is being trespassed by the workers refusing to either deliver or give it back, and the law setting the rates and service standards for the post which was paid and not honored.

I think the workers at Tesla should unionize and get better treatment. I wouldn't want to work for one of Musk's companies. My concern is that if I lived in such a country, I'd be afraid that one day my city water would be disconnected or they'd refuse to renew my drivers license or passport, because I did something that those workers didn't like.

I'll admit to not researching the details of PostNord, but it is listed as a state-owned enterprise in Wikipedia and it fulfills Sweden's participation in the UPU. If it were purely private like FedEx, I wouldn't have the same argument--though in that case, my argument would be that the DMV needs to use another post if they know one is refusing to deliver.
I'm pretty sure this targeted at the fact that larger dogs in general live shorter lives than small dogs. I don't think this has anything to do with the genetic issues caused by some breeding.
Outside of weird edge cases, most aggression has a root cause. If the root cause is not removed, how is it that it magically "ends there"? expressing irritation seems like only the beginning and not the end at all.
Real estate development is very localized. For sure agree that local governments on the coasts obstruct development, though Texas or Florida don't. My point was more that you implied that the U.S. also selectively blocks certain companies but through other means than labor, and I don't think that's true.

PostNord isn't private, it's state-owned by Sweden and Denmark.

I am also annoyed by these online services with basically no customer service.

But, what do you mean by “take action on the entire customer account?” “Trick or bribe a human” is not a very difficult task, so it must be the case that there are some things a customer service agent can’t do.

Granting access, clearly a no-go for any service that might hold important private documents. But also, canceling an account on that sort of service could be pretty catastrophic… which means they can’t resolve problems in a direction that stops them from billing you…

It’s weird. India has a problem of casteism, colourism and classism.

What you’re describing is probably a mix of casteism + colourism.

There is no strict correlation between skin colour and caste. The current Prime Minister Narendra Modi is fair skinned and from a lower caste while a cricketer like Hardik Pandya who is darker skinned is from an upper caste.

Amazon Q (amazon.com)
This feels strange (maybe I got it wrong).

It's probably because Amazon has all the money in the world they need to develop their products, but I would expect to launch a new product with some minimal but strong features to attract customers. Q offers 40+ built-in connectors from day zero. Like I can imagine the engineers/managers working on connector number 25: "Man, we have implemented already 24 connectors and we don't even know if the product will be a success or not...".
It's a culture built on having a car that gets the snowball rolling. Here in the West car ownership is taken for granted, as an integral part of having a home and a family.

It is however completely necessary to do this.

The tl;dr is they tested CLIP variants for zero-shot classification on CIFAR-10 and STL-10 at different levels of image compression and observed how performance dropped with more compression. They claim the purpose is more about demonstrating performance change attribution using this Integrated Gradients method but imo it doesn't appear more informative than just the general, intuitive observation that decreased image quality = decreased CLIP performance.

I agree with what I presume your overall premise is, that the breeding standards in the US have traditionally focused on aesthetics over health, and that "award winning show dogs" can have all sorts of horrible health problems that lead to an early, painful death.

And then there are puppy mills, which are on the polar opposite of the "fancy breed purity" spectrum, but equally horrific.

My overall inclination is pacifism and to focus on loving everyone, but I'd probably be OK with a discreet Tonya Harding'ing to the kneecaps of people running puppy mills.

It struck me that once we have good-enough AIs trained however, which we now do, it becomes way easier to solve the training data provenance problem by using the initial AI as a filter.
