No, you said "but it really is an inferior technology.". It's not inferior if you need something completely safe, or if you're imaging something with good acoustic contrast, or if you need something that doesn't need its own room, or any other reason why you might prefer ultrasound over MRI or CT.

The fact that it's used at all would suggest a priori your comment is wrong.

Even if you want to restrict the scope of ultrasound being an inferior technology to only ultrasound being worse at producing images, that's not true either. Show me a CT or MRI showing what a Doppler ultrasound image shows, or that shows a real-time live 4-chamber view of the heart (to pick a couple of obvious examples - there are many more). So now you might say ultrasound is objectively worse at at producing images that CT and MRI excel at, at which point, what are you trying to say?
"Apple is deeply committed to the future of American manufacturing, and we'll continue to expand our investment here in the United States,"

Decades of being "deeply committed" to the future of Chinese manufacturing questions just how "deeply" any commitment really is.
How about a crowdfunded nanomaterial syringe, $666,000 goal. Convince them that vaporizing the camel is a solved problem (such-and-such lasers, plasma cutter, whatever). We just need to prove the feasibility of a non-permeable, non-clogging conduit and this loophole (pardon the pun) will be closed. Then just do a rugpull.
Wheat and dairy are both subsidized in the US, so it’s not incorrect to say that Costco’s croissants benefit from subsidies.

I think it is incorrect/misleading to suggest that they benefit substantially from subsidies that are not available to the $8 croissant maker. (Costco benefits more from highway subsidies, for example, but not by enough to move the needle between $8 and $1…)

I think it is unlikely the high-end bakery is using the same e.g. milk and butter as Costco.
Look - I don't pretend I have the perfect formula, but as long as the money I give spotify go only the people I listen to in ratios that could be considered as just I am fine. There are many ways to tweak the payout, but it is the ideology behind it that seems to be fucked up right now.
That's comedic. I love it.
I’d argue that equal rights aren’t yet global nor fully manifested even in places where they’re intended.

Look at studies around division of labour within North American homes and it appears women are still tending to take on most homemaking responsibilities. There are interesting psychological and potentially biological factors involved.

One take on this is that women do a lot of “hidden” labour. What men do is often very obvious and readily apparent. Women take on tasks more related to planning, preparing, organizing, or otherwise using mental energy and time to improve quality of life for their families. For the family it just seems like things are normal; it isn’t evident that a person went out of their way to ensure things went better. This work is actually quite demanding and often invisible and unappreciated. It can often lead to reduced time for self care, sleep, eating, etc.

Reminds me of Gettier Problems in Epistemology :

A desert traveller is searching for water. He sees, in the valley ahead, a shimmering blue expanse. Unfortunately, it’s a mirage. But fortunately, when he reaches the spot where there appeared to be water, there actually is water, hidden under a rock. Did the traveller know, as he stood on the hilltop hallucinating, that there was water ahead?

Here's a real world example :

It's not precisely user hostility. You're talking about the difference between a hole hog and a DeWalt. ChatGPT is trying to be a DeWalt: It works while also trying to backstop unexpected bad interaction so you don't unexpectedly torque your wrist past its breaking point because you jammed the bit into the wrong piece of wood (to pull the analogy back around: You don't inadvertently get porn or gore or defamatory copy because you asked the wrong query).

Flipping the question on its head, there's going to be a category of user who's asking "Why am I paying 20 bucks a month so this thing can give me answers I can't publish?"
I'm guessing you're a US-native then? Where this salary/work obsession seems a lot stronger than around here (South-West Europe).

My impression is that you work in order to do what you really want later, while we tend to focus on getting a job that pays enough to survive + bit more, but still allows us to do the things we want now, rather than later at/around retirement.

Insert story about The Businessman and The Fisherman
Most of my time there was pretty good, even given the fact I got put on a PIP at one point, which I realistically deserved (lazy kid right out of college). I graduated from the PIP and stayed another couple years, and by the end had paid off a substantial pile of student loans.

One thing I liked was that Amazon puts up less of an act that everyone is one big family. I knew they saw me as a "human resource", and could behave accordingly. It was only when the stress started to follow me home that I got out, only sticking around longer than that to take advantage of the great health insurance for a big procedure.
I've sort of felt like this has already happened in many aspects of my life. To be an American consumer feels like living in a perpetual 4.5 star limbo these days (I note that nearly every Amazon product I look at now has a 4.5 star rating). Every experience seems to be optimized via algorithm (perhaps orchestrated by computer, or perhaps just via one human organization or other) to be as bland as possible. Mass entertainment seems the most obvious - AAA games have become money-printing slogs, and the latest blockbuster movies seem ever less original.

It's possible this is at least partially an effect of getting older, but I do tend to find smaller works to have a bit more character and chance to be entertaining. Obviously the hard part is sorting that out as the signal to noise gets smaller.
If speed is the most important factor, a more interesting comparison would be to parallel-bash:

The problem with this chain of discussion is that no self-respecting expert in the relevant fields would give armchair diagnoses or discuss evidence for them like this on a public forum, so all you will end up with is speculative garbage from unqualified people.
If I understand correctly from checking out the websites, it looks like peertube is focused on Video-on-demand (VOD) and tackling the problem of content delivery and storage. From a technology standpoint I actually feel pretty good about where VOD is currently since HLS / LL-HLS (the more common delivery mechanism I see and also low latency being increasingly supported) is pretty easy to setup with any video provider (CDN, cloud providers, video platforms e.g. mux, livekit egress).

I do see that peertube is using WebRTC (I'm guessing for the P2P aspect). So I'll tackle the question in the two technologies that might need advancing in that space:

1. Peer to peer should be broken out as its own standard in the browser. Right now to implement peer to peer you're stuck with WebRTC which brings in possibly a ton of features you don't need. Also, if you're trying to use it outside of a browser you're pretty much stuck with using libwebrtc which is the de-facto WebRTC implementation and effectively is an entire networking + application + av codec layer.

2. Storage! This probably needs to be re-designed for handling video in the future. No idea how but the issue I see is that usually for VOD you will want to upload a master. The master file is then transcoded to multiple resolutions / formats and such so that folks can view according to bandwidth. This ends up eating up a lot of space. Maybe we need better ways of storing content?

3. Adaptive bit rate / WebRTC delivery. This is the part that might kinda bite peertube if I had to guess. WebRTC is designed for speed over quality. When ABR kicks in the video bitrate drops and you start getting crappier video. In my experience when people are viewing VOD content they usually want things as crisp and clear as possible. This isn't so much of an issue on a conference call or live streams (usually video degrades before audio). For a peer to peer streaming network I'd have to imagine that you'd want more control on how content is delivered and I'm not sure how peertube handles that.

That's just my thoughts off the cuff though, I'll give it more thought though.
I think it depends on the nature of the matrices; it doesn’t make sense to use if your A matrix is just some general dense matrix for example.
Isn't the reverse of God In The Gaps just as ridiculous? Just because we have been able to use a materialistic, scientific approach to get this far doesn't necessarily mean it will keep working forever on everything.

Using your metaphor at the end: "There's dragons just over the next hill" and "There haven't been dragons so far so there will never be dragons" are both just guesses.
The only real problem I saw there was that it used text instead of paths for text.

In browsers that’s not a big problem generally.

For other platforms, what would happen if OP printed to PDF from the browser instead of exporting the SVG to PDF with a separate program?
If I had the skill, I would want to create my own C compiler that tried not to optimize things like this, e.g. don't optimize away infinite loops, don't optimize away signed overflow checks or do incorrect algebraic simplifications because signed overflow is undefined behavior, and by default act as though -fno-strict-aliasing were on. Add options for trapping on overflow or optimizing away overflow checks, signed or unsigned. Just do register allocation and minor constant folding (but again, don't act like signed overflow doesn't exist, and don't do constant folding across pointer writes if its address has been taken).

There exist open source C compilers that aren't GCC or Clang, such as TCC and Zig, but to my knowledge they all produce really, really bad assembly. There existed proprietary C compilers in the 1980s and 1990s that were written by one or two people that still produced solid assembly, so it's possible, just no one has done it, so Clang and GCC are the only free and open source options for decent assembly for C. Those two also have the downside of being C++ compilers, making them more complex than they need to be.

Maybe another option would be to improve an already existing open source C compiler's codegen than to write a new one from scratch again, assuming they'd agree with the above ideals.
Not sure. I haven't played much game since my son grows into his 3rd year. Actually, when was the last time I played some games? Maybe a few weeks ago? And when was the last time before that? Maybe a few months ago?

Gaming was super important to me when I was in my 20s but now they mostly bore me. Reality is much more "fun", in both good and bad ways.

I might introduce some games to my son when he reaches 6+, but that's it. Gaming as a hobby for a solitude was gone and probably won't come back until I retire. I do have a plan to live-stream games of 1970s~1990s when I'm old (2040s~2060s) -

"Hey kids, today I'm going to show you a game older than your grandpa. Its name is Zork".
Ah gotcha. These are the site where creators don't have another middleman like record labels ?
I am not sure how payouts work if you can even publish directly on spotify.
iTunes had a formal sale price, and it still led a catastrophic collapse in music sales revenue (https://money.cnn.com/2013/04/25/technology/itunes-music-dec...) which only ended when Spotify became big. The point of a comparison is to understand whether Spotify is doing something that could be fixed to get more revenue to artists, or whether the economics of selling songs for money just don’t work very well in a digital world.
Endless consolidation isn't the only way to make money. There's plenty of money for Figma to make if they remain an independent company, _and_ their customers would be better off.

> Can you elaborate on the part that seems unintuitive?

For me, the intuitive part is how mitochondria can be created by the body if it's an external structure that's been found. If I take a coin and put it in my pocket, my children don't have any coins at birth. They have to find one themselves. Why is it different for mitochondria?

I'll never not upvote The Ministry for the Future. It was such an interesting book once I could get my mind in the space of what it was doing.
From what you have said, I think my mental model for how life forms at the mammal-size level is wrong.

The piece I was missing is that even for large organisms, new life is created by cells (eggs) already containing mitochondria dividing. New cells aren't created from scratch.
I'll make it super-simple for you.

OpenAI, the original non-profit, DIED. Elon Musk pulled the funding, it DIED. It's DEAD, get it? It does not exist without money. I don't know how to get it through your head. There's no such thing as a serious AI company without billions of funding. Period.

So. Given that, to keep the team together, Sam made the for-profit subsidiary and hosted it in the hollowed out non-profit, Sam went out to get investors and Microsoft chimed in the most.

While the new hybrid OpenAI tries to respect the spirit of the original OpenAI... WHICH IS DEAD (GET IT?)... it has to also balance between non-profit mission, and its investors, thanks to which it exists at all.

That's kind of like maybe you think you're a world-leading poet and novel writer, but your boss doesn't care, he wants those toilets clean. That's what he's paying for. You can then use that money to spend your free time writing poems.

Not sure I have to respect the rest of your BS with an answer. "Oh the other megacorp LLMs are just few months behind GPT4". Newsflash! OpenAI also exists within... time, genius. Time is passing there, too. And GPT-5 is ready and few Fortune 100 companies are testing it currently. They're not sitting still and waiting for the others to catch up.

I never said other companies can't compete, in general, but they're no better than OpenAI. Amazon, Google, Inflection, Facebook are no better than OpenAI. They're not. And I never mentioned anything about Worldcoin, you're basically desperate to strawman this, but you are exceptionally bad at it.

Did I say you don't have the slightest, faintest, most distant idea what you're talking about? Anyway this is my last message.

Would the output with the same conditional probability not also be the most likely in a conventional sense? I'm not understanding the distinction, but I'm not an expert so this might be a subtlety I just don't grasp
As a cynical Enterprise person, my take is that some team within M$ wanted to force some other team to no longer use Curl/Libcurl for "reasons", so they had to gut it and replace pieces with some other team's cruft. There is no interest in upstreaming, supporting, extending, documenting, releasing, etc this monstrosity as it was probably an ugly kludge to meet an internal bureaucratic requirement.

This is why the MIT license is great. If it was GPL'd or something, they would have to rip out curl entirely and develop a completely in-house library, which takes more time, costs more, adds bugs, etc. On top of adapting any programs that normally use libcurl to use their custom thing, or creating a shim library (either way more work). MIT-licensed code allows corporations to still build on top of open source, and monkey-patch their own shittiness in the process. Many of us OSS devs choose MIT for this reason: we just want more people to be able to use it.
Mercedes are not, but many high end European cars dip galvanize the entire chassis, making them virtually rustproof. Volvo started doing this on the 700 series in the 80s and those cars are still driving around in the rust belt fully functional 40 years later! VW, Audi, and Porsche also fully galvanized a lot of cars, but you need to research to figure out what specific years and models.

Mercedes was a global leader in quality until about the early 90s, but the quality really dropped off, and is markedly lower than other German cars nowadays.
Drive and inspect an expensive early 2000s Mercedes, and then a cheap VW Jetta from the same time period… there is no doubt about it, the cheap VW is a higher quality car in every way. Every bolt and fastener is high grade steel, plated with a corrosion preventative , and then also coated with threadlocker that also protects from corrosion. VW then cut quality also around 2011 or so.

So it’s not really cut and dry, you have to look at how each specific car was actually made.
I am curious why vouch for provenance rather than vouching for quality. In “mass-produced AI garbage” is the “AI” part a bigger problem than the “garbage” part?
To be fair, truck tires are an entirely different level than most car tires. More air at much higher pressure. I did some research on what actually happens if you try to slash a tire. A car tire is only slightly risky, but a truck tire can flay your hand.
You aren't sitting on a beach playing guitar with your friends if you get a tech job in Germany, you're doing the same boring pain-in-the-ass dead-end work either way. Just with less threat of being randomly fired or mistreated, which isn't even particularly intimidating or stressful when you're sitting on an enormous nest egg
This applies more to Okta because once you log in, you get a screen showing all the applications you have access to.

As an end-user, if you click on any tile, you get your application regardless if the authentication scheme is SAML/OIDC/static credentials. In the case where static credentials are required for a service, the end-user doesn't have to get a sheet of paper telling them the username to use. Instead, a script provisions a username/password behind the scenes and Okta is responsible for keeping the username/password safe.

Admittedly, I don't know if the traditional password manager companies offer a system like this, where you get a matrix of apps to choose from and the user is removed from knowing a username/password is being exchanged.

I definitely like this perspective as a personal take, AI should not stop anyone from pursuing their own artistic goals. The problem comes from a societal scale. Peter Doig would get a very different response if he showed off someone else's picture of a boat to a crowd or tried to sell it. The inspiration and the painting he created are clearly two different things and are recieved differently.

If you use AI, very few people, if any, could tell if you or an AI emulating you made a certain painting. I think this is a key source of the rejection, it's saying "Even if you can't tell, you can trust my paintings were made by me and not an AI, I stake my reputation on it."
The wear items you mentioned are going to be rare occurrences, ie once every 50/100k miles.

Versus oil changes get customers in the shop every 5-10k miles / 1 year; Coolant changes every 2-5 years. The best analog is tire changes on Evs.

Yes, collision shops will still be needed, but are rarely a direct dealer service (the majority of dealers do not have paint shops).

The top mechanical issues; Engines (from oil change negligence), and transmissions will no longer exist in the drivetrain. (Sensor failure will be relatively minimal as no sensors are exposed to constant 200 degree heat or oil or gasoline).

From a duration perspective; dealers may support 100k mile, 10 year warranties, but when we see 50% EV adoption, it will be like finding obsolete ford parts from the 50s in no time for 10+ year old vehicles.
Ironically it's widely known that the labels get 70% of all music revenue and Spotify gets to keep 30% for itself (which famously hasn't been enough to even turn a profit). You couldn't be more wrong.
Not trying to hijack here. Just showing a bit of the other side of the coin, to those that may be interested. It's symbiotic. Without us, their ecosystem is shit, without them, our pretty hardware just wastes clock cycles.

To anyone considering a Systems Admin role, be aware, you have a lot of work ahead. SysAdmins are commonly generalists. We don't go super vertical in a lot of things, but we do go wider every day. There comes a point where it's really hard to keep up with the breadth of tech, UIs, concepts, some jackass's better mouse trap that isn't any better but uses a shit UI, etc.

Most SysAdmins pick a few things and specialize. Then there are the crazy people like me that try, and I emphasis try, to keep up with it all. smh.

Generalists are needed. We're usually the best at integration, since we've likely seen/worked on something with similar concepts or the systems involved, before. We usually sight read (borrowed term from music) UIs better than most and once we have enough time in, we realize that it's really all syntax. Whether its NTFS or CHMOD, we're still determining read, write, execute, modify, etc.

Both are rewarding and whichever you choose, remember, without the other half, you're mostly useless. ;)
