Ruskie is a plural adjective or a plural noun.

When it's used as a noun it's pejorative for Russian people. When it's used as an adjective - it's neutral (and can be used both for russian and ruthenian stuff).

There's also more specific words - rosyjskie for russian and rusińskie for ruthenian, but very few people use "rusińskie" nowadays.

BTW there's this joke from communist times:

A waitress in a milk bar shouts "who ordered ruskie", someone in the bar shouts back "nobody, they came on their own".

There are some initiatives that are doing more what you are looking for, vocata and activitypod. These treat activitypub more like a modern email server, that recieves and sends activities to different federated servers.

In a world where those would be used, "apps" would just subscribe to the activities that interest them, and you would be one user that adds apps to your system. You'd be able to have something closer to google suite, where your calendar app can display notes from your note app, or your notes app could display shared notes, comments etc.

Today though, most of the big activitypub players decided to implement their own activitypub server and don't really follow the protocol to the letter, so unfortunately it's not as interoperable as it could be. You also need to have an account for each service, which is unfortunate.

> the new rules also mandate simpler charger payments. As-is, some networks require subscriptions or app downloads. But under these rules, customers must be able to pay with cards or contactless devices, and prices must be displayed to the customer.
At this kind of mileage in a day you just really need to question your decision making skills if you are living in a country with a decent railway network.

However that is nice because it means you can do 3 300 miles trips and only charge at home when the price is right. That is the most relevant part to me.

One thing is article doesn't mention is the average speed. I looked at a few EV in the constructors websites and most range in the spec were calculated at ~30kph. This is my average speed in the flat on a bicycle when not even riding hard! While it is pertinent in an urban context where average speed is not much higher it isn't when we are discussing long trips.

> there are literally no downsides to the consumer

Sure, if your time is worth nothing, then there are no downsides.

If you value your time and end up in a scenario like the article describes, you're looking at (a) service interruptions because they wanted to cheap out on the installation, followed by (b) service cancellation because they couldn't be bothered to rectify the problem they caused by cheaping out.
Yes, which took years and years to resolve. And only because in the end developers refused to play along. If the people creating web sites decide collectively to support only open standards, then Google has less leverage. It kinda worked with Amp, so it's not impossible.
I'm the author of bfps. I don't have too much time either. But I do enjoy this kind of brainb^Hteaser while commuting in the train :)
I actually think this makes some sense, based on my own experiences owning various cars.

The first was a Mercedes A200 that had been imported from the Netherlands to Denmark. It did not have heated seats, something I overlooked when I bought it, supposedly not a deal breaker in NL, but a big issue during cold Danish winters. I would have gladly payed a subscription fee to activate seat heating had it been possible, but the car was originally made for another market, so there was nothing I could do except sell it and buy another one.

The second is my current car, a Volvo, which came with a wifi hotspot. For some reason, the hotspot stopped working after a the car was out of warranty, and I found that I am able to live without it, by using my phone as a hotspot instead. In this case I could have stopped paying for a feature that I no longer need. As cars get more laden with tech, I think it is quite feasible that some initially "fashionable" features will get irrelevant over time, and users might like to have to option to stop paying for features that have lost their relevance. If Volvo would upgrade my current sat-nav to Apple Carplay I would gladly pay for that too.

Having users pay recurring would also incentivize car makers to keep investing in updating their software, and perhaps even install hardware upgrades "free" of charge, in the hope that the user would keep paying a recurring fee to have them.
Do you think anti monopoly legislation only applies when some company controls some market outright?
Any of those reasons should then have been documented in public, which the poster said it was not.

Wow, this is a great study and I bet it extends to other volunteer-based activities. In particular: open source software projects.

It seems obvious that toxicity needs to be rooted out of open source communities, and any projects that don't do so or ignore the issue will fail to keep their contributors. But it's nice to have some real studies on this with some objective results (even if not strictly for open source software project contributions).
True, but the difference here is that the second battery isn’t even used most of the time, and if it was it would die quickly.
It'd be interesting to test and find out.

As the article shows, there is some evidence that OpenAI may be using a new embeddings model under the hood of assistants retrieval. If they are, and if it's substantially better than the competition, then open-source RAG may lag for a while.

--

But if they're just using ada v2 (or if the embeddings improvement is in cost, rather than performance), there should be tremendous potential for open-source models in this space.

First of all, ada v2 is an aging model that has solid open-source competition.

But more importantly, it seems the key is an LLM agent loop that can best make use of the RAG primitives. Intuitively, I'd expect open-source models to be smart enough for very good results in this domain.

In my opinion, Firefox has been at war with its own users for years. I finally had enough a few years ago, and switched to Vivaldi. Every Firefox upgrade was a gamble on what feature or functionality they'd remove or change this time, or what bone-headed UI design change they'd make. And every time there'd be a Bugzilla bug with a of horde users who just had their favorite feature removed, and every time, without fail, it would get arrogantly WONTFIXed and eventually locked. This cycle has repeated for most of Firefox's existence, but it has accelerated.

Vivaldi can customise damn near every aspect of its user interface. I can set up every menu how I want it. Remove things I done use, and move the most used item to the top. I can dock my tab-bar wherever I want. I can have a proper status bar. The list goes on. It's what Firefox should have been.
You do, in fact. It’s called a memory write barrier. Ensures consistency of data structures as needed. And it call stall the cpu pipeline, so there’s a nontrivial cost involved.
Agreed. People publish papers on algorithms all the time, imagine saying "Sorry, but new C++ is not a paper". There is a ton of space to be explored wrt prompts.

If this was a for profit company I could agree with your focus on profit. Their mission statement is: "Mozilla is a global nonprofit dedicated to keeping the Internet a global public resource that is open and accessible to all.". You could argue the importance of market share at some percentages but below ~5% has to be considered a priority one emergency, if your goal is to keep the internet accessible for all. If their market share fell below 1% they would have effectively almost zero ability to steer standards.

I dont understand why the little solar panels that were included on every calculator from my childhood aren't used more broadly. I would imagine a little solar strip combined with a coin cell could extend the life of the coin cell considerably in applications like an AirTag, especially if premium functionality is only offered when sola power is available (like software updates or LED status displays, etc. seems like there should be a world of potential combining lithium cells, combined "fire and ice" cores, and little solar flaps.

I guess obviously not or we would see a lot more of it?

This depends entirely on family traditions. My mother is from near the eastern border of Poland (Włodawa), my father from around Lublin, my wife from central Poland (Kutno).

Each family makes different versions of pierogi, even ruskie are different between the families. I (predictably) prefer the version that my mother makes, which has extra thin dough and slightly higher cheese to potato ratio, but all of them are good.

Other than ruskie I love pierogi z jagodami (with wild blueberries). They are the best summer food.

The problem is that humans are bad at sitting there paying attention while they're not actively engaged, which is what's required to use FSD safely. Also, FSD has essentially no benefits if you use it safely. If you listen to someone talk about what they want FSD for, they'll probably tell you they want to be paying attention to something other than driving or that they want to sit in a more comfortable position where their feet aren't on the pedals and/or their hands aren't on the steering wheel.

The current Tesla FSD beta has no purpose other than as a tech demo, but people absolutely treat it as if it's ready to be your chauffeur while you take a nap in the back seat.

One of the things sci-fi really seemed to get right is that we will have AGI long before we'll have agreement that it is actually AGI.

People will keep finding some small case or reason why not to call it AGI. And then finally once that last case is knocked down and we have agreement on a definition, we'll realize we crossed that threshold a "long" while back.

And I'm not saying we have AGI now, just that it's now clear to me how this process will play out.

(Where "long" in AI development timeliness probably doesn't mean the same thing "long" meant even in the 2010s.)
I expect Wikipedia to collapse under its own weight and hard fork within the next 10 years. I think it would be a shattering like Twitter if the content wasn't under a permissive license. Instead I think it's going to be like WoWWiki being acquired and forking to Wowpedia, and then Wowpedia being acquired and forking to Warcraft Wiki.

The community around it is extremely unwelcoming and has calcified - only the most cynical and bitter editors remain. I know of a couple of the principles of the site, "be bold" and "assume good faith", I don't think those are followed or respected anymore.

And the finances of the foundation, good lord.
The charger learns how worn the old battery is, and overvolts old ones to get a bit more useful life out of them. When you disconnect and reconnect the battery it doesn’t reset the training algorithm, so it overvolts the new battery, reducing its lifespan to roughly 30 days.

There’s no official way to reset the charge algorithm without a dealer-only dongle, so you take it to the dealership to replace the battery (~$400 labor, $100 parts).

They could solve the problem by adding a “register 12V battery” option to the service menu, or by having it prompt the next time you start the car after 12V power is interrupted.

It feels like this is already a mostly-solved problem.

The wireless switches/sensors/bulbs are already handled by various things in the Zigbee ecosystem. RF energy harvesting is already a thing[0]. I've even got a Zigbee switch[1] that uses the energy from pushing the button to power its transmitter. Turning lights on and off based on occupancy is also a solved problem, as is HVAC zoning.

The only innovation here is to combine the various pieces into one package. Hopefully it uses an existing standard like Zigbee, ZWave, or Thread/Matter instead of inventing something new and incompatible.

I am 100% on board with anything that eliminates the need to change batteries in all of these devices.

MAUs are down though and a non profit is supposed to be mission driven not revenue driven. The focus on market share is the belief that a better internet (Mozilla’s mission) starts by having a non profit browser leading the way. There might be some other metric but the financial health of Mozilla can only be one factor. Besides, at some point they get down to 0 market share and then the search deal revenue will go down (not sure again the next time they will be negotiating the deal)
This. I've done 4 3000km road trips in an EV. I never went more than 200 miles between charging sessions because my family and I need to eat, sleep and toilet. So more range wouldn't have made the trip any quicker. Faster charging would have.

Add a bit of margin and I believe that 300 miles is the point at which charging speed becomes more important than range.

What you’re saying seems to be compounded by the black box aspects here.

Instinctively a prompt may look like one line of code. We can often know or prove what a compiler is doing, but higher dimensional space is just not understood in the same way.

What other engineered thing in history has had this much immediately useful emergent capability? Genetic algorithms finding antenna designs and flocking algorithms are fantastic, but I would argue narrower in scope.

Of course a paper is still expected to expand knowledge, to have rigor and impact, but I don’t see why a prompt centric contribution would inherently preclude this.
I thought this was already done? What’s the innovation here?
