As most of the messaging on this page implies the release will occur in 2023, I figured it was worth noting this excerpt towards the bottom:

We will be exhibiting the Omnichord OM-108 and announcing the new official release date at the Winter NAMM show to be held in Los Angeles, USA from January 25, 2024.

So, release date to-be-announced, and (early) next year at that. Still, a very cool device, and I hope they get it out there.

Good point and you're not wrong. One mitigating factor is that resistance isn't constant: In copper it increases with temperature, and I^2R causes temperature to go up, which causes resistance to go up, and you get something of a positive feedback loop. Temperature rise is one of the main reasons why standard wire gauges are specified the way they are.

If you use 4x higher voltage, the temperature rise is much less significant (16x less significant to be precise) so it becomes more or less a non-issue and you can treat resistance as a constant.
I hope you're right, but my pessimistic view is that you can grow old waiting for moral arcs to bend. I'm not familiar with any of the individuals mentioned in the piece, so I don't know their investment history etc., but it seems worth bearing in mind that a lot of SV can be considered part of the 'military industrial complex' with extensive ties to contractors, government offensive and defensive systems, security/surveillance and so forth. So there are strong business as well as personal motivations to articulate particular political positions.

Big reel to reel data tapes didn't have the best labeling and could be stored in cans that might not match the spindle's label. I could imagine it pretty easy for a tape to be stored in a mismatched can and then get sent off to a storage area. The "right" can with the wrong spindle ends up in the archive while the "wrong" can gets sent off to a warehouse or reused or whatever. Apollo was a huge project with a lot of people. All it takes is one person too busy to notice they put a tape in the wrong can.

But has demand gone down? The gummed up supply chains created a lot of pent up demand. It's going to take a while to satisfy that demand. Compounding this, pandemic checks injected a massive amount of dollars into the economy [1].

It's simplistic, but take this analogy. A factory builds 1,000 doodads per year. COVID shut it down for a year. Then after COVID it starts producing 1,100 doodads per year. It's going to take 10 years to satisfy the pent up demand. Of course the real world is more complicated, but the fact that prices remain high after the supply chain issues are resolved isn't at all indicative of nefarious or anti competitive behavior.

I'm in one nonprofit org using MS 365 and Teams, and listening to the guy behind the original decision talk about that ecosystem, I think its popularity really does come from propaganda. I was almost convinced until I actually used it... what a piece of junk. It's ugly for me and borderline unusable for our nontechnical users. I'm in charge now and considering ditching it.

The only saving grace is that members who can't deal with it are using local MS Office, which has some integrations with 365, thus making it kinda viable. But I feel like it's still a net negative.

That question could be asked about almost everyone in Middle Earth given how little discussion there is of it. The only explicit mention of a price that I can remember is the twelve silver pennies that are paid to Bill Ferny for his pony (and an additional eighteen paid by Butterbur to Merry as compensation for the lost animals). One would assume that money is used in the Shire, but it is never mentioned--for example, we never see anyone actually paying for drinks at the Green Dragon. Everywhere else items just appear and there is no discussion of any of the behind the scenes processes that produce them or how those processes work.

Many comments here seem to be confusing the accessories circuit voltage with the electrical vehicle motor and drive system. The vehicle motors have a combined power output of 450KW which requires a high voltage 800V system or the wiring would be so heavy it would not be feasible.

This spec appears to be the accessories circuit with Tesla pushing for a new 48V standard. That’s super smart because it immediately means you need roughly a quarter of the metal in wiring that you needed previously. It’s cheaper, lighter and more environmentally friendly. And it enables the use of higher power devices. If you’ve ever had to wire your 1000W sub woofer amp directly to your battery you know what I’m talking about.

It’s worth noting that newer GA aircraft like Cessna 172 use a 24 volt system. So non 12V systems for accessory power isn’t a totally new idea. And older 172s have 12 volt systems. So the transition was made in that space anyway.

There has been a lot of work developing standards for reliable ethernet for industrial and automotive applications, resolving most of the issues you mention which apply to 100/1000Base-T. Tesla isn't using your garden variety ethernet or abominations like ethercat.

100/1000Base-T1 is intended to be used with PoDL (802.3bg/cu) and TSN (various 802.1Q)to result in reliable links with guaranteed latency and bandwidth properties.
PHY power is a few hundred mw though, and star topologies are limiting to replace CAN/LIN nodes, that's what 10Base-T1S is for though (cheaper, bussed, lower power).
From a security point of view, absolutely. But there are logistical problems. Currently, a signal account has to be tied to a cell phone number. How does that work when you want it sent to a team instead of an individual? There isn't a sanctioned API, so it is difficult (and unsupported) to set up an integration with bug tracking software. Not to mention that the reporter may not have Signal set up yet.

Denken MIT Der Hand
It seems to me as if Toner was just in the right place at the right time in order to get a seat on the board of Open AI. She has an undergrad degree in chemical engineering and a master's in "security studies." Her work on AI Safety opened this door for her but seems, at least to me, to be ... superficial. I'm no expert but I have worked in tech for awhile and at a public policy think tank. So I guess my question is there a real scientific field of AI Safety? Are there any real experts? Are there any real insights? I dislike the idea of trusting giant tech companies with breakthrough technologies with minimal oversight / regulation. But it just seems like there is no real science regarding AI x public policy. Like the policy experts have no clue what they are talking about. And after this debacle they probably won't be lucky enough to find themselves on the boards of organizations like Open AI.
> You can tell a story without making up fiction. Just say you don’t know when you don’t know.

The point is that humans can't in general, because we don't actually know which parts of what we "remember" are real and which parts are our brain filling in the blanks. And maybe it's the same for nonhuman intelligences too.

No. Mostly Samsung lied and put oleophobic coatings on all the vulnerable points that washes away from a few weeks/months of ambient humidity.

I've made this point before, but the ratio of "people criticizing OpenAI's legal structure" to "people proposing a better legal structure" in these discussions is remarkably high.

Not one critic I've seen has stated what the best legal structure for OpenAI should actually have been, in a world where OpenAI really is stewarding a technology that could be an existential threat to humans. I really wish they would do so, because then we'd have a shot at improving OpenAI's governance. But so far it's been crickets.

BTW, I think one of the big lessons of this episode is that legal structure matters much less than you'd think. On paper, OpenAI is supposed to follow its charter https://openai.com/charter and the board had the power to fire Sam. In practice, Sam was kinda sorta violating the charter, but he's a charismatic leader who was about to bring in a big payday for the employees (https://www.cnbc.com/2023/11/30/openai-tender-offer-on-track...), and that turned out to matter more than the org's legal structure.
So you were fired, not laid off. If you're a wagie (even making 500k) i would just smile and collect the paychecks.
It's ironic how they'd have been more successful if they had followed recommendations from their own LLM [1] (or Bard [2]).

Over the last few months I've tried over 100 of the latest job search tools to figure out which ones actually help and are worth using. My aim was to find tools to automate as much of the job search process as possible to minimize the annoyingness of looking for a new job while maximizing my chances of getting offers as quickly as possible. In the last month I've landed interviews with over 20 companies and received 3 offers.

From the abstract:

"""
... At the turn of the millennium, only twelve oscillator periods remained ... . The search has finally ended, with ... the final two periods, 19 and 41, ...
"""

Note that 19 and 41 are prime.

I'm not familiar with this line of research in the GoL (nor most others) but I assume that it was proved all prime periods (above 41, say) have been known since the turn of the century, or thereabouts.

I suspect what happened is that there were "easy" constructions for large periods that could be done. I would think that once you have the freedom of large periods, you can construct large gadgets and thus prove with "relative ease" that you can get any large prime number period.

My bet is that smaller periods are harder because of the smallness restriction.
