I went to UCSC, the Santa Cruz uni, as a California resident that went to high school 30-40 mins north of Santa Cruz, got a BS in computer engineering, and managed to do a couple of years at Google, so I've some money, though they didn't make me a millionaire. They would have if I'd stayed longer though.
Maybe. ;0)

Your approach seems to be consistent. Unfortunately I think it is too complicated to explain to my non-programmer users.
But I don't want to sell my attention! At least not at the crappy valuation the bike advertisers offer.

Money being fungible means that one dollar is as good as another. It all goes in a big pile for the budget. In other words, you don't have to match up your revenue sources with your costs (like bikes with advertising), though this is frequently used for the purpose of trying to justify one thing or another.
I grant you all of this (for argument's sake). However, none of it actually addresses the merits of the "zero-sum" claim about capitalism or the claim that economic disparity will in the future be regarded in the same way as racism.

Also maybe I'm blind, but I don't think we've interacted before.
Frankly I think the only reason the revival of antitrust legislation in the current administration isn't already tackling this is because this pattern has already gone on so long that there are much more impactful anticompetitive behaviors being done by the biggest entrenched players and they have to triage. Most people even passingly familiar with SV's ecosystem recognize this pattern and that it's a problem, and by any sane antitrust interpretation it's blatantly illegal. Just hard to enforce in a regulatory environment where antitrust law enforcement went through 50 years of systematic gutting
Exactly opposite. EU high court ruled that you are free to decompile software to fix bugs etc. Also, in Poland at least, it used to be legal to even crack software that you own for the purpose of making backup copies etc (not sure how it is now)

NYC has much lower costs of living than Santa Cruz. Not cheap, but still cheaper. They also have better ability to get out a little and get a lot cheaper places to live.

Hong Kong is politically constrained.

That said, high rise is enough more expensive that I wouldn't expect cheap units to be in those buildings in general (unless the penthouse is valuable enough to subside lower levels). The mid rise (~5 floors) is a much better deal for most people.
I wonder how much this bike contract actually takes to maintain vs how much the holder gets in advertisements. Even if near flat even, which feels unlikely as why bother holding the contract then, it's still a way with more overhead than just funding the bike program.
The PS Vita predated the Switch by 6+ years... by the time emulation and CPU speed to match its requirements, it was already discontinued by Sony. It fulfilled its purpose.
The original title is bad. The subtitle is better "A breakthrough quantum-computing approach uses single molecules as qubits for the first time."(reduced version "A new quantum-computing approach uses single molecules as qubits").

All molecules are "quantum". The interesting part is that the spin is conected to the spin of a nearby molecule, so both can be used as part of a single "quantum computer". The "tweezer" looks interesting too.
Right, they should just not purchase DRM'd trains. We're not hearing the part of the story where someone made that bad decision.
Happy to see publishers getting paid! But definitely unsure what this means for society long-term.
Stable Diffusion with the right fine-tunes in the hand of a competent user might be the best (if you define "realistic" as best, MidJourney might disagree with that being the only metric). It is good enough that I find it hard to get excited about somebody showing off a new model.

Still, Stable Diffusion is losing the usability, tooling and integration game. The people who care to make interfaces for it mostly treat it as an expert tool, not something for people who have never heard of image generating AI. Many competing services have better out-of-the-box results (for people who don't know what a negative prompt is), easier hosting, user friendly integrations in tools that matter, better hosted services, etc.
Reminds me of Slack as knowledge base in some companies. This area needs some LLM disruption.
> think you can solve CA's addiction to cars

No need. We're solving a narrow problem: students' need to park on campus. Out-of-town commuter and part-time students will need a car. But everyone else is solvable.
Ah yes, after I retire, I want my leftover brain tissue integrated with some electronic hardware. Then I can code 24/7 while eating only the best caffeinated agar.
That's what happens when the low-income job market is dominated by the service industry. When wealth gets geographically concentrated, low-income workers have to follow it, and can't.

The worst part is that the wealth isn't getting concentrated into the hands of people: it's getting concentrated into the hands of landowners.

* If you are poor and pay rent, you're fucked

* If you are poor, but own your home, you are just OK; but would be better off if services were cheaper and more available (as a result of poor renters not being fucked)

* If you are rich, but pay rent, you are just OK, but would be better off if rent was lower (and poor renters wouldn't be fucked. Win-win!)

*If you are rich and own your home, then you are lucky enough to be the problem. Even so, you would be better off if rent was lower, because services would become more available, and your community would be safer and happier.

They couldn't make a contribution under Apache 2 that is a derivative of AGPLv3 code. It will have to be bound by the licenses of both at the same time (or be based on a clean-room implementation of the AGPL code additions -- good luck with git merge)
I've been reading Hacker News pretty closely and I haven't seen that.

Plenty of posts about LLM tools - Ollama, llama.cpp etc - but very few that were specifically about using LLMs with Unix-style CLI piping etc.

What did I miss?
I hope you’re right, but prior busts and downturns lead to a populations that were unhireable once the economy picked back up.
Or, you know, you could pay them.
I wonder if the DMV will still have a presence there.
It has to be on initially for later plausible denial..
Or I could just call it "adding context". I could also expect readers to not have to be spoon-fed, and to avoid launching themselves into "counter-arguments" before they have understood what they are arguing against.
yep, the main problem with "automated" bookkeeping or accounting software so far has been that it's so prone to putting things in the wrong category or miscalculating small taxes because it can't read the document Etc that it requires a human to overlook it. a small company ends up paying twice for bookkeeping services then, so it makes more sense to just do it in house.ai and lms will make this work so trivial that it will put a lot of people out of work.
I just gave you a long answer, now you have no excuse to complain, but I agree with lwhi. You can only be either of those, or both.
FSD is a substantial subset of AGI: driving is full of edge cases where you need to be able to reason about unusual conditions or behavior by other drivers, understand what someone like a flagger or police officer is saying, etc.
There's another piece that isn't discussed in this article and desperately needs technological solutions -

Our permitting and building processes are completely broken. People who lost their homes in the CZU complex fires are giving up and donating their land because of the difficulty of rebuilding. Even applying for something as simple as rooftop solar is extremely onerous and time consuming.

Every piece of the permitting process would benefit from new tech to enable the county and developers to get moving. Plans are rejected for tiny reasons "No fire testing data sheets were attached for the aluminum rails that every neighbor has already used on their roof."

A recent real estate listing described years of frustration trying to build an appropriate multifamily on their correctly zoned land, and eventually giving up to sell the house.
This is a very short sighted take, but also housing costs are rising dramatically in places other than Santa Cruz.
Trying myself with GPT 4 Vision (directly using the API), I get response:

"The image shows a total of four coins."

For the exact same image with a prompt "how many coins do I have?"

I keep getting the same thing every time.

If I ask "what is the value shown on the image?"

I get the following:

"The image shows four coins, and from what I can discern, three of the coins have the number "1" on them, which likely indicates that they are one-unit coins in their respective currency. The fourth coin, which is a different color and appears to be bi-metallic, has the number "2" on it, suggesting it is a two-unit coin. The total value shown by the coins, therefore, appears to be 5 units of their currency. However, without knowing the specific currency, I cannot determine the exact monetary value in any other terms."

So to me it's obvious gpt4-vision model can handle this question.

Edit: I also get for regular ChatGPT "You have a total of four coins in the image."

Now I tried to ask GPT4 Vision to find the Dog, and it said:

"The dog is located approximately at 0.29, 0.36, 0.70, 0.90." - Just eyeing it, it may seem decently accurate, but not 100%.

My difference is that I took a screenshot from your pictures rather than providing the original though, so that could also probably affect answers.

Prompt for the dog was:
"Find the dog. Return its location in the format x_min, y_min, x_max, y_max. Respond with 0-1 as percentages."
Any for-profit company is going to expect the same from their employees, even if they don't say it; it is the nature of contract employment. Any company which tells you that they want you to balance their needs against literally anything else is lying to you. They may not have the competence to detect or act on you doing this balancing, but at its core the company wants something else. You forget this at your own peril.
As a fellow Santa Cruz resident, thank you! There's been a massive change in opinion over the past few years, and we need to speak up to make that clear to the town.

The typical NIMBYs that have a ballot proposition coming up were only able to turn out a sad four people at the Christmas parade this year. We need to defeat that.
That's the same problem I haven't figured out yet: the best strategies for chunking. I'm hoping good, well proven patterns emerge soon so I can integrate them into my various tools.
That isn't a quibble, the 100/20 requirement was a key requirement they set themselves.

Regardless though, I was wrong about the buildout reasoning. The FCC just doesn't believe, based off the information provided by Starlink, they had a strong enough likelihood of success with the plan provided to stay in the running.
> I don't really see the business model though

None in isolation.
But if/when countries start enacting carbon taxes & bonuses that account for the externalities, that could significantly change the cost equation, it could become more profitable for farmers to adopt farming techniques that require less land (less carbon tax to pay), and use the now unneeded land for passive income through forestry (get paid by the state to manage a carbon sink).

"Not in my city, in that other city," says every city, everywhere. Hence NIMBY: they aren't saying "no", just Not In My BackYard.

The problem is everyone is saying this. So you have nowhere to build. Santa Cruz should not get special treatment - it will be offered the same deal as everyone else: build what is required to house people in the way you want, or build what is required to house people in the ways other people want.
Life will find a way.
According to the CBC building code, a high-rise building is a building whose top floor is more than 75 feet above the ground floor, so about 8 stories or higher (https://up.codes/viewer/california/ca-building-code-2022/cha...)
As a Santa Cruz resident, we need more housing to keep our town running. It's absolutely essential.

SJ needs to build a ton more too. But Santa Cruz especially needs the housing.
That is it. Just imagine. We would already have found all rules that govern our universe.

I'm curious: do you present the above as opinions, or facts?

If facts, from where have you acquired the knowledge?

If opinion, have you any interest in the facts?

There is nothing that can be encompassed by a 220-300+ power envelope into a handheld for the next several years. Still, downgrading visual FX is one doable. Steam Deck 2 and Switch 2 are in the horizon. AMD v. Intel, as far as I'm concerned.
The post actually says that it's only for approved users only.

I think those are great examples of platforms that are not practical - they are only used in situations where they absolutely must get a plane to take off/land vertically, no matter the cost (in maintenance overhead or efficiency). I don't think they clear the bar in commercial aviation - a bleed air thruster system, even confined to the wing, would add a ton of complexity and hazards and weight. By comparison, the actuators, control surfaces, and airflow sensors are already there in commercial planes - in some planes it might even be possible to retrofit without introducing any new hardware, aside from more, bigger, more sensitive AoA sensors perhaps (which Boeing needs to do anyway, zing.)
What is the better option?
Indeed, hardware security building blocks are just that, necessary but not sufficient. Eg Unix and Windows took a very long time from "we have hardware MMU and are using it for some stuff" to "we have a real world tried and tested, somewhat working multiuser security separation".
> Dalle3 and this is miles ahead in understanding scene and put correct text at the right place.

I guess that turns out to be not as important for end users as you'd think.

Anyway, DeepFloyd/IF has great comprehension. It is straightforward to improve that for Stable Diffusion, I cannot tell you exactly why they haven't tried this.
PlayerOne is really creative. I love it!
I have yet to see any data supporting that.

The data I have seen: Other countries without two stair requirements have better fire safety records than the US.
I don't think SD has won the fight. It still doesn't give creators a full control of the output. It might be useful to auto generate some random illustrations but you need to give more controls if the output needs to be used as essential assets.
Thank you!
I will expand the rules of the stock screener further to include fundamental data as well as technical indicators :)

No, Google flat out lying by calling something that is limited as “unlimited” is why we can’t have nice things. I don’t understand why anyone would go out of their way to defend blatant liars.
The landlord and section 8 have to communicate about certain things, doubt they would lie for the tenant.
Yes it will that is exactly correct! That particular example actually was after I was reading how to set up Stable Diffusion and other AI stack stuff.
> For better or worse, the business model behind many of these sites rely on the ad revenue to continue existing

I fail to see how this is my problem as an end user.
I feel like we "beat" our SV competitors (we have several) by simply providing better customer service. Everything else is secondary to us. My definition of a "win" in this context is a customer advocating for our solution over a competitor's solution at a trade show or lunch meeting.

A lot of SV culture appears to me to be biased towards the shiny tech and less towards the customer relationship. My recent interactions with some SaaS enterprise sales teams really drove that home for me. The only tech vendor that "gets us" and the kind of business we do (B2B software/consulting w/ US banks) appears to be Microsoft.

We constantly ask ourselves "what is the simplest thing that will still make the customer happy". After asking that for several years, we have arrived at a robust technology stack. Very few moving pieces. Server-side forms. SQL does most of the scary stuff. It's a profoundly boring flavor of SQL too. We spend far more hours per week thinking about the customer's problems than we do any particular piece of technology.

Put more concisely, I think a key advantage non-SV companies have is that they aren't trapped in some shiny tech rabbit chasing olympics mindset. Boring tech + customer focus will likely beat most competition, regardless of where their offices reside.
Idk if that’s always the case. I still have unlimited data plan from my mobile provider, from 2008ish. $50 for unlimited data (no it’s not rate limited either).

Obviously the cellular provider hates this but they can’t remove something I’m paying for and haven’t broken the contract. They do try to get me off the plan several times a year offering new phones fully paid if I switched.

Fuck them, I paid for it and I’m not going to leave. It’s not my fault a multi billion dollar corporation didn’t get one over me.

I’m glad I live in an area with good protections against this corporate abuse.

Absolutely disgusting what Google has done. I’ll keep this in mind 5 years from now when I have the power to spend real money on budgets and ensure that I never give Google a cent of it.

It takes decades to build a reputation and minutes to destroy it. Google has destroyed theirs.
They already closed that office. You have to go to the Secretary of State facility over on Lasalle and Randolph.
Every random city in the US is like this. Fucking Spokane has NIMBYs. There was a NYT article a couple of years ago about how a lot of people had moved in from California and Seattle thanks to the ability to work remotely. Some dude was like "Yeah people need somewhere to live, but why do they need to add apartment buildings to my town??"
Interesting article, but the phenomenon of ice skating is thanks to nature, not to physics. Physics is simply man's attempt to explain nature. But man, ever self-centered, likes to think that his own invention, physics, is responsible.

Obvious, I know, but worth thinking about sometimes.

This: https://motherfrunker.ca/fsd/ (linked in the GGP to your comment) links to this tweet from Jan 23, 2017 https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/823727035088416768

When asked the question "At what point will "Full Self-Driving Capability" features noticeably depart from "Enhanced Autopilot" features?"

Elon responded "3 months maybe, 6 months definitely"

Also, lots of examples of "this year" stated in various Januarys, and multiple instances along the lines of "complete autonomy in 2 years" going back 8 years.

I suspect his statements are carefully made to not technically meet the legal definition for fraud, but colloquially he's absolutely a liar.
Whatever that article is talking about, I will point out for the people who don't live in the Los Angeles area, that developers have been standing up a LOT of new apartment buildings in the past 5 years or so. I can think of some areas in the 'south bay' where I've seen old houses and shopping centers get torn down and replaced with huge 5 floor buildings with at least 100 units. There's an area over by culver city/santa monica (can't quite remember where) where it's just a loooong street of buildings that were built like within the past 5 years...

I'm not saying that we don't have a shortage of housing, but I am saying that article portrays the entire LA area as adding 49 units in 17 years, which is absurd and totally misrepresenting the situation.
The proof is everywhere when you look at products manufactured by Musk companies

They are all based on re-inventing the wheel (quite literally) for political purposes and government money extraction.

I think because most people are used to Dall-E and the Midjourney user experience, they don't know what they're missing. In my experience SD was just as good in terms of "understanding" but offers way more features when using something like AUTOMATIC 1111.

If you're just generating something for fun then DallE/MJ is probably sufficient, but if you're doing a project that requires specific details/style/consistency you're going to need way more tools. With SD/A*1111 you can use a specific model (one that generates images with an Anime style for instance), use a ControlNet model for a specific pose, generate hundreds of potential images (without having to pay for each), use other tools like img2img/inpaint to hone your vision using the images you like, and if you're looking for a specific effect (like a gif for instance), you can use the many extensions created by the community to make it happen.
