You mean (we) got algorithmic feeds which feed us antisocial content for the sake of profit because such content drives the most engagement thus generating the most ad revenue.

But this suing the person for revealing the scam is right up there with criminals suing their victims.

I've been trying to find a bank that does consumer-level FedNow outbound transfers. So far, no joy. Many banks have receive-only FedNow - they can receive money, but not send it. The US Treasury's Fiscal Service, the part of the government that sends payments, is going to be using FedNow. So banks want to be connected enough to receive money faster.

There are some online services for companies that make lots of outbound payments. JP Morgan Chase and BNY Mellon offer that. But outbound FedNow at the consumer level, not yet.

Part of the problem is addressing. The clever thing about PayPal is that your email address is your inbound payments address. The banking industry hasn't figured out the consumer-facing side of this yet. FedNow at the Fed level is about the same as ACH at the Fed level - just faster. You need receiving bank account info. There's a "request for payment" mechanism (i.e. a bill), but how does that reach consumers?
All car infotainment systems are essentially garbage. But BMW and Porsche both have excellent CarPlay support.
So what you’re saying is that as a content creator, it’s about the money and not the content. At least that’s what your post appears to be saying, as you’re letting monetization potential guide your creative decisions.

Yep. Never buying a GM now. It would never pay for a subscription to have something just in my car that I also have on my phone.
Toss Yourself in Front of a Moving Car in This Wild Indie Game
In almost every car I turn the screen as close to off as possible and just use my phone for navigation and music. The Tesla is the only exception: Their software is good enough to use rather than automatically ignore.
are you basing that on the entire history of after market replacement head units, or did you just make up something in favor of your preference?
I’ve been pretty impressed with the Bolt for the price. It’s a shame the next generation one won’t be on my list due to lack of CarPlay.
Sans neuralink or equivalent tech, I’m skeptical that an AI will soon develop the input mechanisms to make those judgements on par with an experienced human tutor. Students often (inadvertently) mischaracterize what is blocking their progress - and blockers are often nonacademic. What I would like to see, and work on, is augmenting the human instruction rather than replace it.
AV-8B and F-35B use bleed air for thrusters (for stability and low speed maneuvering).

Obviously this impacts engine efficiency, so not 100% sure how great it would be for cruise, but doesn't seem entirely impractical?
I'm pretty sure the artist is conscious and the AI isn't which means there's something reductive about your claim that they are both merely "applying a black-box statistical" model.

Even if it's true (which is debatable,) it doesn't appear to be more informative than saying "they are both made of atoms."
I've never owned a car made by GM, but a decision like this guarantees I never will.

I don't buy their take that the safety issues are because Android Auto and CarPlay are buggy and have connection issues and other crap that cause people to use their phone directly. I've only had a new enough car to use Android Auto for a year and half now, but I've literally never encountered a bug that required me to touch my phone. If there are bugs on GM's cars, I expect that's an issue with the car's software, not Google's or Apple's.

Obviously GM is putting forth a bad-faith argument to justify their real reason, which is that they just want full control over the experience, and likely want to find ways to monetize things that people can do with their own interface.

Good luck with that, GM. Even if GM somehow manages to build a nice, performant, featureful, non-buggy infotainment system (yeah, right), guaranteed they're going to stop releasing updates for each car's version of it within 5-10 years of the car's release. Meanwhile, as long as my phone keeps getting updates, Android Auto will keep getting updates.
I don't disagree, however I meant antisocial in the sense of being disruptive to the status quo
It's time to backup any content on youtube you care about. I've noticed that videos that are older and less commonly viewed already take much longer to load. It's just a matter of time before Google starts removing them to save money. I've personally downloaded more videos than I can count from a few obscure channels I care about.
I thought I wanted a new car, but all I really wanted was Android Auto. Added a new touch screen to my 10 year old car, wireless Android Auto is great. I do wish there were a few more app icons at the bottom of the screen. I tend to switch between three apps and there are only buttons for two that are not maps or making calls.
This is mostly about Amazon Kindle, but it also mentions Hoopla, an e-reader app. Presumably this applies to things like Overdrive as well. I'm satisfied with my Kobo, epubs and Calibre.

Damn sorry I offended you with my stupidity. Like many people, I have a limit to the things I know. Any ideas on what might have been a decent way to phrase that analogy?
The baby, unlike the LLM, isn't learning just from a stream of text. Anything the LLM knows about the world that a lot of that text describes has been inferred from the structure of the text, but a baby learning (say) English learns what a car is by having someone point at a car and say "car", etc. I think this means (1) that there's a lot more than those 30M tokens of actual input and (2) the input is better structured for teaching the baby about the world as well as the language.
This appears not entirely different to modern pixel shaders on GPUs, which basically run a program for every pixel on the screen. Quite efficient if you have large amounts of concurrent execution units.

What makes you think they design it in-house? Automotive companies outsource most of this software to third parties at bottom-feeder rates on a hard delivery deadline. They don’t know how to produce good software like this. Every aspect of the process is the antithesis of what is required to have quality software come out the other side.

I have my issues with CarPlay but the OEM software is hot garbage by comparison.
The PinePhone uses a really old, slow modem (the Quectel EG25). Why not get a modern Snapdragon x62 like the RM520, drop it in a carrier board, root the modem and do all the shenanigans you want?

> The SoC also contains a cluster of four A53 cores for power efficient processing, but Nintendo has chosen not to use them.

The rumor I've heard is that there's a bug in the system crossbar which makes which core CCX you enable after reset the only choice you can make until the system is fully reset. That is, if you enable the A57 CCX, later enabling the A53 CCX triggers the bug and vis versa, even with the first CCX disabled when enabling the second.
Kobo seems to work readily offline simply out of box. Plug in usb-c to upload books?
Why don't they just add a dock for my phone so I can use my phone's screen and control the car through their app. That would cut their costs and make me happier. There's no way I'm paying a subscription for my car. This is as stupid as the BMW idea to charge a subscription for aircon.
That is a feature as far as the manufacturers are concerned.

Chris Pahl's Performance Workshop [video]
>> The practice relies on two false principles: the "law of similars," aka "like cures like," meaning a substance that causes a specific symptom in a healthy person can treat conditions and diseases that involve that same symptom, and the "law of infinitesimals," which states that diluting the substance renders it more potent.

> These "principles" are actually true sometimes, to a certain extent in specific cases. Vaccines, for example, or hormesis.

You're being too charitable with "true sometimes", in my opinion. I've unbent a paper clip into a nearly straight strip of aluminum before. The result was a "paper clip" in name and origin only. I would call it a "paper clip" for convenience, and I might jokingly consider it a paper clip "to a certain extent". But calling the strip a paper clip wouldn't be useful unless I were to describe it as "a paper clip if I bend it back into the original shape". The "law of similars" and the "law of infinitesimals" as described by the article are like the straightened "paper clip": understandable generalizations from a practical truth, but too far from the initial practical truth for "true sometimes" to be a useful rule of thumb. (It is useful, however, to find out how a useless "principle" came about.)

A vaccine is not a cure. It's training for the immune system. The response to small amounts of a harmful substance can prepare the body to respond more quickly and/or more correctly to a future exposure. Giving yourself a vaccine while you're already infected with the virus would have little benefit if any. I could call a vaccine a cure "to some extent" if I wanted to be broad with my definitions, but would it be useful to do so? Not to me, so I might as well not call a vaccine a cure at all.

Hormesis is less about "small amounts can be more potent than large amounts" than "small amounts can actually help you at all compared to large amounts".

1985 Nielsen meters TV viewing in more than 5,500 U.S. homes
2003 Nielsen doubles its national TV sample from 5,000 to 10,000 U.S. households
2014 Nielsen has installed electronic devices known as “people meters” in 16,916 homes

2019 approximately 46,000 households nationwide
2021 Nielsen ... among its almost 60,000 active
2022 National TV panel reached 42,000 households
2023 Nielsen uses several sampling procedures, but its main one is to track the viewing patterns of about 20,000 households

Looks like in the nineties they had ~5K sample points.
To be honest, it's not entirely ad free. While I pay for it, the sponsored videos are full of sponsored ads as well. Yes, I make an effort not to support the content providers that are filling their videos with sponsored ads, but this is becoming more prevalent and YouTube Premium is becoming less valuable as a result.
Problem is that a lot of vehicles have displays that stick up like a wart on the dashboard now. Though it would be great if you could reuse the display and just replace the internal components.

“Essentially, the thinking is that if a car’s in-built infotainment system is good enough, drivers will be less likely to use their phone for what they’re trying to do while they’re behind the wheel”

If the car company makes me pay for another subscription to get Nav data or stream music then by default the infotainment system is not good enough. I’m tired of companies thinking just because I bought their product I’m ok with another ~$20/mo subscription service.
>You're the one who opened with "it may initially cost, like, trillions of dollars to do this in the lab the first couple of times" for the bonkers lithium nuclear synthesis idea...

Most ideas which have advanced humanity in some way -- have historically been perceived as "bonkers" -- at the point in time of their inception.

>"...before moving the goalposts all the way to "If there's a working Lithium-from-seawater extraction facility fully operating and producing Lithium at scale as of the current date -- then I have yet to see it." "

Well, "goalposts" moved or not -- I still do have yet to see it... (didn't your initial reply change the original "nuclear chemistry" goalpost to the "fishing it out of seawater" goalpost?)

That having been said, the links you have provided are very interesting and informative (thank you for them!) -- and perhaps lithium extraction from seawater at scale -- will one day become a practical reality!

There are things besides GitHub and Google Sign in, and the ones with Microsoft are (a) probably supposed to use it, and (b) don't mind subscribing to software. Focusing exclusively on Oauth or SSO from Google or GitHub accounts is an awkward decision. Add 'Sign-in with Microsoft' and your TAM just got much bigger.

Troubling ACM Venues (January 25, 2023)

https://solalpirelli.github.io/2023/01/25/troubling-acm-venu...

This post summarizes the problems I’ve found in ACM conferences organized by IARES, the “International Association of Researchers”.

Most of their conferences are organized under ACM’s banner, though some editions were organized with IEEE. In particular, IARES includes two researchers evidently at the center of dubious activity: Shadi Aljawarneh from the Jordan University of Science and Technology, and Vangipuram Radhakrishna from the Vallurupalli Nageswara Rao Vignana Jyothi Institute of Engineering and Technology.

I summarize the problems below; curious readers can consult the spreadsheet with all details, including links to PubPeer comments for each problematic paper.

A post worth sueing over is a post worth reading.
I can only assume it'll be just like most non-Pixel versions of Android on phones: a horribly-skinned menace with terrible UX, and random bugs here and there, because I'm sure somehow GM can take Android Automotive's base and make it worse.

And then they'll only support it for a few years, while anyone with a car supporting Android Auto or CarPlay will continue to get a better experience as their phones get updated.

(Also: still annoyingly confusing that Android Auto and Android Automotive are two completely different things.)
Yep. I got my first car with CarPlay in 2015. That’s 8 years ago.

iPhones are always faster than the infotainment systems in cars due to development cycles and cost.

Now my iPhone is eight years newer than the one that was already better than my car. So it’s obviously faster. Apple has delivered numerous new features in those eight years, the car never received a single update. That wasn’t even an ability on the car.

As John Gruber is a fan of saying, the phone eats everything. You can’t compete with it. It has better specs, it gets updated more often, it’s more customized to the user. It has better connectivity (I’m not paying $30 a month or whatever to give my car cellular service).

It has the apps I want to use, not the ones who gave the car company a payoff. If I have to get a rental car on a vacation, all my same stuff is right there.

GM will suffer. I’m curious how long it takes them to reverse this. Just one year? Or more? I’m willing to bet a nontrivial number of people just flat walk out of dealerships when they hear the car they’re looking at doesn’t have CarPlay (or Android Auto).
Israel isn't defending itself from an immideate threat at this point, but if Hamas isn't fully destroyed, atrocities like the ones commited on October 7 will happen again.

As an Israeli, I've had to sprint for a shelter many times in my life because of Hamas rocket fire toward our cities, and if Hamas remains after this, it would continue to happen, and they would continue to funnel all of Gaza's resources into their terrorist activities while the actual people will continue to starve.
That ad-free service comes with pervasive tracking.

Ah, thanks. I assumed GM was just using Android Auto, I didn't realize they had models that used Android Automotive: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_Automotive#Vehicles_wi...
This just feels like suicide, honestly.

I mean, GM doesn’t seem to have a reputation for building the best, most reliable vehicles as it is — even just looking at domestics (factor in imports, and there’s no comparison). Every time I shop for a vehicle, it’s crazy how GMs are almost universally lower rated than all other vehicles.

I mean, maybe they have cost on their side, but they better hope that and brand loyalty is all they need.

Maybe this was once not a major factor, and maybe it’s still not for some. But I’d say the number of people that don’t care about CarPlay or Android Auto is shrinking.
You can also use the SponsorBlock extension to help with some of that (and contribute where someone hasn’t already done so).
First, the main problem here is that Google is activelly colluding with manufacturers to keep the Google Play monopoly, second, and more importantly, many Apps doesn't work without Google Services or whatever it is called now on Android, some apps from Banks doesn't run on "root" or "open" version of Android even with Google Services.

So it is not that simple.
I have Premium and I still use Revanced on my mobile devices because of Sponsorblock integration. It's crazy how many ads YouTube videos have these days.
Yeah, I agree everyone may have different anecdotes, for my case though I heard more of the "Python as glue code" arguments and never heard that Python proper can be as fast as C. I've used Python since 2.3, so maybe that argument was more prevalent before?
