I worked on an idea some years ago for a couple of months until putting it up on a shelf, (beyond my capabilities) after the workable way forward was for sites themselves to identify what best labels would cover each page.

Nonetheless I slowly deduced, apart from clear spam, people would be saved a lot of time in searches if two main types of site types could easily be identified in search results, and either include or exclude these results depending on the nature of their search.

The fist being billboard or banner types, where a business had thrown up a large looking site, but really has no working data apart from address, contact, about info, quick really you knew this summary of their organisation or company.

The second are what I refer to redirection type sites, they are sites that actually don't have any / much of their own data, they're just coasting on already existing services [this might have caught people who refashion google maps with additional overlays, but so many now do not,] or an indirect way to get their parent services out thought children sites. I'm one who'd search excluding both if I'm after hard information. Generally people can use regular searches to get address and contact phone numbers for physical sales and service outlets.
These launch countdowns are silly. Yes, you're going to be really cool the first year or so with that Cybertruck. But after you go to a party and five other people have one, (1,000,000+ reservations since 2019) it'll seem much less alluring.

The cost of the Apollo program was pretty cheap considering it also, in remarkably short order, delivered integrated circuits, fly-by-wire aircraft control, and GPS navigation.

Claims on other advances might be taken with somewhat more skepticism, particularly as regards the ISS, STS, and wholly too numerous Mars landers, but it would be hard to justify complaints about the cost of Galileo or Cassini/Huygens.

Tiny batteries have less headroom against phantom drains. Also, most motorcycles aren't daily riders, so the problem is exacerbated.
It would be so easy to make this a practical pickup. I could get past the fact that it looks terrible in person if it had a usable truck bed. But the bed is so small and constrained that is basically useless
My current hypothesis here is that the way to make coding assistants as reliable as possible is to shift the balance towards making their output rely on context provided in-prompt rather than information stored in LLM weights. As all the major providers shift towards larger context-windows, it seems increasingly viable to give the LLM the necessary docs for whatever libraries are being used in the current file. I've been working on an experiment in this space[0], and while it's obviously bottle-necked by the size of the documentation index, even a couple-hundred documentation sources seems to help a ton when working with less-used languages/libraries.

A standard hybrid (of the sort that a range of companies make, handwavingly a parallel hybrid with creep capability, which a PHEV is just a supersized version of) eliminates a huge swath of things that go wrong with ICEs.

First and foremost, the transmission replaces the rather staggering pile of complexity of a modern automatic transmission, typically, with "a few motor/generators, some planetary gears, maybe a band that only engages when a motor is already stopped, and some power electronics." Compared to the 9+ speed automatics, this is dramatically simpler. Quite a few hybrids don't even have a mechanical reverse gear, it's just using the electronics for that brief period.

But, beyond that, you generally aren't asking the engine to idle, or to provide "starting torque" for the car - the hybrid system handles that sort of thing well. On at least the Gen 1 Volts, the motor "idles" at about 1200-1300 RPM, vs the ~750 RPM in most other vehicles, because it's almost never needed at low speed (heating in the dead of winter is the one time I notice it). But you don't have low speed, high load operation on the engines (which is a hard regime to operate in), and you don't have rapid speed changes with gear shifts (which is certainly more stressful than smooth speed changes or continuous speed operation).

You have less brake system wear, and... it goes on.

I know there's this popular "Hybrids/PHEVs are the most complicated of both worlds, so they must be the most unreliable of all worlds!" thing going around, but the data is quite clear that they're exceedingly reliable in actual use, and the "most complicated of all worlds" things tends to zoom out far enough to avoid looking at the transmission or engine design at any level of detail.
yeah but automotive safety has been great the last twenty years especially for children
I think you could perhaps say that Japanese are extremely highly sensitive to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switching_barriers in indusrial and administrative processes relative to other cultures.

If something causes friction or pain, but switching away / updating to a new system would incur a high cost or retraining time or break institutional knowledge, there seems to be an extreme bias to adapting to the pain rather than suffering the switching cost temporarily to improve the situation. There does seem to be a benefit though of extreme adaptation that occurs when a process remains unchanged for a very, very long time and actors in the system can develop extreme levels of experience.

Work through the "Get started" section of the official docs[1]. After this you could take a look at Awesome Flutter[2].

As someone who usually buys ~10 year old cars and drives them into the ground I'm much more interested in long term reliability. It may correlate but these stats are not that!

I would have thought babies have been showing this beyond a doubt since time immemorial.
Think about how physicists talk about particles, they can pick any name, rename them but everyone knows what's what because the names are defined by the set of properties not the other way around. If they find distinct sets of properties they want to talk about then they know they need another name.

I ran into this same scenario talking about names for different states of inventory. Every person/company I talked to had different names or meanings of special 'reserved'/set-aside states. I kept telling everyone to define what they mean by that name, list the expected behaviors of it. Then it doesn't matter what anyone calls anything, I can match them up by properties/behaviors or find out they're distinct things.

Things became clear you can't trust names when I saw the formula: on-hand = available + unavailable + committed. Shouldn't available + unavailable form some complete total?

> The MIT software license is widely used on the GitHub platform but does not provide namegiving protection, allowing entities to trademark the name(s) of and in your repository, if you do not do it yourself. EUPL 1.2, however, restricts a license holder from registering namegivings.

https://emojipedia.org/nerd-face:

“Nerd Face

A smiling yellow face with glasses, often with teeth showing, originally buck teeth on most platforms.

While this emoji is often used by people calling themselves nerds in a self-deprecating way, the nerdy glasses paired with buck teeth can, and often does, evoke anti-Asian stereotypes. The fact that the default color of emoji faces is yellow further pushes this emoji into racist "yellowface" territory.

Some platforms have redesigned nerd face over time to not have buck teeth, perhaps in acknowledgement of the harm this imagery may cause. Google, Facebook, WhatsApp, and JoyPixels originally featured designs with buck teeth but have since changed (or completely removed) the teeth on nerd face.
Apple, Twitter, Microsoft, Samsung, and other platforms still use designs for this emoji that include buck teeth.”

⇒ I can see this being successful. An alternative could be to add a moreneutral emoji for ”person with glasses” (a modifier to add glasses to existing emoji would be cool, too, but probably get rejected, as it would trigger requests for “with lipstick”, etc. and further increase the complexity of creating a set of emoji)

OP here: I'd recommend Daniel Defoe's travels through Britain as a good place to start, written in the 1720s. You might also like Celia Fiennes's travels in the 1690s. The travel diaries of the brothers Rochefoucauld, whom I cited, can all be easily cited - their travel through Suffolk (which is more interesting than it sounds, as it contains their general early impressions of England) can be found in its entirety online. All can be found with a little googling.
I thought maybe it was from mostly keeping the ICE engine in a comfortable power-rpm band, rarely making it lug at low RPM's to get the car going, rarely reving up to high RPM's, and never idling the engine, it's either running under load to charge the battery (or drive the car), or turned off.
You have the data in front of you. As someone else too mentioned, the B58 engine is considered pretty reliable by BMW mechanics and on various Reddit forums where car enthusiasts hangout.
Worked fine in the past. Consider Prohibition, for which the United States managed to pass not one, but two amendments just fine.

The reason it is hard to pass amendments today is that there is no real need to do so: the system routinely works around the plain language of the constitution, so why bother changing it?

Again, Prohibition is useful case study: in 1970s and going forward, the federal government managed to pass a bunch of laws prohibiting many drugs other than alcohol, without passing any constitutional amendment. Why was it constitutional? If it was, why the early 20th century Americans thought they need to and succeeded in passing an amendment to ban alcohol?

The answer is, obviously, because they did have to do that according to plain reading of the document, and because people at the time cared about the following law as it actually exists more than immediate political expediency. Think about it: at the time, pretty much nobody believed you can do something like this without passing amendment, otherwise the congress would just pass the relevant bill and wouldn’t bother with amending constitutions.

So, what changed in next 50 years to completely change the attitudes? The answer is that the American system of law and government has been slowly but steadily destroyed, and replaced with a related, but ultimately different legal and political regime.

It has nothing to do with pymalloc's performance per se.

Rather, the performance issue only occurs when using `rep movsb` on AMD CPUs with certain page/data alignment.

Pymalloc just happens to be using page/data alignment that makes `rep movsb` happy while Rust's default allocator is using alignments that just happen to make `rep movsb` sad.

Yeah, I (not really) joke that everything on the hill gets plugged in. It makes life a lot easier.

Even with no idle draw, lead acid batteries self discharge over time. Life got way easier when I just accepted it, and now I've got a pile of 6V/12V battery tenders that go into just about everything (I have no shortage of 6V vehicles out here too). That and block heaters. The tractor and truck both appreciate them.
Love it! Can't wait for tomorrow (7 minutes from now.) The way I want to go "from A to B" made me think you had to guess the countries in order, which is not the case apparently.
Calling AMD a nice guy is a huge stretch in my opinion. From my understanding they didn't even allow use of ROCm with consumer GPUs until this year... CUDA is and always was very accessible to a broad audience.

My Honda Hybrid is the same way, sometimes I go weeks between drives and if I park it for more than a couple weeks, I plug it into a 12V battery charger to keep the 12V battery topped up.

But I blame the car's smart features (that use the cell modem to allow remote start, etc) rather than it being a hybrid. I suspect that the non-hybrid model would be the same.
I’m pretty sure that’s the whole point of them.

If we haven't figured out fusion by the time we could build a Dyson sphere-analog, and therefore have no need for such frippery, it will be our shame. Time travel is easy in the forward direction; we are all performing it at close to light-speed, in Minkowski space. FTL travel might turn out to be possible in the next millennium, even if not meaningfully useful. FTL travel and (backward) time travel are equivalent.

I think the ultimate jump in capability would be achieved by making a dedicated language to be used by an LLM and training it in parallel on mainly that. The problem is that to make this actually useful you need to establish a new programming language. And making a useful programming language that is actually used by people is even more expensive and takes more time than training a state-of-the-art LLM...

Incompetent jerks do very well in corporate. They usually have very clear idea about who the boss is - boss gets to be treated very nicely. Peers are subtly badmouted and criticized when they can't defend themselves. And the most jerkness goes to peers they don't need and such.

My 3rd Gen Toyota 4Runner is old enough to drink and outside of routine maintenance requires almost no thought.

"It's time to get a new car" given that car safety has drastically improved and I have two younger kids in that thing a few times a week but I'm honestly having a really hard time giving it up, something so reliable and plainly functional.

New cars with all their computers and smart technology only look like expensive repairs to me, whereas if something breaks (again, rare!) on my extremely mechanical 4Runner, it's almost always something simple and relatively cheap.

Glad to see Yodas at the top of this list though, when mine finally kicks the bucket, will confidently get another one I suppose.

Why wouldn't you expect this sort of convergence? A bunch of companies trying to solve the same problems with the same constraints are likely to find very similar solutions. We saw it with aviation - over time, jet aircraft look more and more like each other, because certain solutions, once they become available (twinjets demonstrating enough reliability for extended overwater operations) are simply better in about every metric you'd possibly care about.

You seem to be confused, obviously it won't work 100% of the time due to shear probability, it's not physically linked up so there will always be a possibility of one or both pilots ignoring every possible warning, shaking, vibration, mild pushback, etc... regardless of how well they've been trained on detecting these.

Whether it works the vast majority of the time, in practical situations, remains to be seen. Confusing a known, physically guaranteed, aspect of a system with an estimated likelihood of actual system performance is a common mistake.

Even with the most ideal deployment scenario, assuming it does get widely deployed one day, the real world performance reliability will likely not get anywhere near six sigma, let alone 100%.
