Baby boomers still control over half of the wealth in the US, despite being around 20% of the population. And, as you said, beef prices are very high now. So it really doesn't seem odd that younger people would eat less of something they're being priced out of. And that's not too far off from the 14% eating half the beef figure.

Unfortunately, it's not just beef. Chicken prices are up there too. Restaurant prices for wings are well over a dollar per wing now, and they run something like $4/lb at grocery stores. I remember more like $1/lb in the 90s, and $0.25/wing specials at restaurants. 4x+ price, and median household income has maybe doubled, if that.
Israel deliberately cut off power, water, and all crossings into Gaza for delivering food and aid. Even worse than what Russia did to the power plants. Literal collective punishment, another war crime to add to their list.
This is the kind of feedback all such projects get. A million "if you just implement this one critical feature...".

It must be really hard to balance giving all those users what they want, building quality code, keeping the project focused, and having low costs. Is it possible to enable this through extensions, or leveraging a product like OpenCloud?
Free speech doesn't lead to devasating results. Just the opposite.

Censorship does. Every time. Nazis, communists, every authoritarian or totaliatarian government, rely on censorship and restrict free speech heavily.

Bad ideas require censorship to survive the light of day.
But I don't see p-values as connected to frequentist statistics. Rather, p-values are a concept that applies to the problem of hypothesis testing, which both frequentist and bayesian statistics should apply to, right? And in both cases you would use a p-value. The unique thing that Bayesian statistics can do is fit parameters can calculate uncertainty in those parameters, which does not contradict any of the concepts of hypothesis testing.

> Is removing the 2nd amendment and gun rights going to magically save america and stop its marching decline?

> I don’t think so.

I don't think that's the right question at all.

I don't want to make changes to "magically save America and stop its marching decline" (whichever decline you happen to be peddling).

I want to make changes to get fewer people in America shot in the short-to-mid-term.

Do you still believe that getting rid of the 2nd Amendment would hasten an American collapse? Because I haven't seen it effectively stop ANY so-called government overreach, and don't believe it will prevent any in the future either.

In the long-term, it also introduces its own existential risk: why should I assume "the citizens people with the most guns who do the best in a revolution" would institute a government better for me than the current American one?

>This is relevant because it shows that VW is loosing significant market share in US and Europe

VW the brand, not the group including Skoda, Seat, and the rest, is loosing market share in Europe because their cars are meh and overpriced for what they offer when Skoda, Kia, Hyundai, Dacia are much cheaper.
> I think it's trading working on what they like vs doing admin / sales / marketing.

That's certainly one of many good reasons not to run your own consulting business. That said, it's entirely possible to hire/outsource support to do much, if not all, of the admin/sales/marketing work.

> (Good) Contractors are accountable exactly to what they are paid for (no more and no less). Employees are accountable to drinking coffee and it's a damn pain working around them to try to get something done.

In my experience, productivity tends to depend more on the "good", than on the contractor/employee dimension, and a non-trivial part of the "good" stems from how well they are being managed by the business... which yeah, a huge part of being good at managing either contractors or employees is about accountability. Sometimes you get better employees or contractors than you deserve, and that can imbue the contractor/employee characteristic with more causal significance than it deserves, but by and large, you don't.

I’ve always had an excellent vision both near and far, except for one flaw that I can’t distinguish some shades between green and blue. All the turquoise colors give me a strange feeling of not knowing if it’s green and blue. When I was younger I used to ask if it was green or blue and would only be satisfied once someone told me which one it is. Over the years, I’ve learned to recognize the feeling and attach turquoise to it, but it’s still slightly annoying for my brain. I know it’s selfish of me, but I hope that driving won’t require the ability to distinguish turquoise well… I never thought that this minor impairment could one day be a problem.
That isn't generally the standard. The question is whether they are "doing business" in Brazil. Which clearly they were, since they just stopped.

Persecuting journalism is morally deplorable regardless whether the hand of the enforcer is wearing white gloves. Btw, in Assange's case, he got a really really harsh treatment, so I am not sure if I can even use the white gloves term.

The US govt did him really bad, he spent a tremendous amount of time in prison already, his punishment for bringing their war crimes and total disregard for civilian populations during warfare to the public.

I have to disagree with other commenters here. This guy's story had a lot more nuance than what you'd expect in a short blog post.

His story timeline:

* 2016: Grind for 4 years, got burnt out and took a job.

* End of 2021: Got fired, started as a solopreneur again.

* H1 2022: Launched 7 projects in 6 months.

* H2 2022: Fell in love with one of them, went all-in for 6 more months.

* Early 2023: Switched back to 2021 approach, 8 projects in 8 months.

* Fall 2023: "quit all my faceless AI projects and focused on products I’d use"

* Sept to mid-Dec: "ShipFast alone made $168,100 in total revenue"

I found it interesting because he oscillated btwn the "ship a lot of stuff fast" and "care about a product that I'd use myself" approach. Sounds like he did two full cycles of that until he hit a winner. (Not that you can't ship fast on smtg you care about, but if you launch a dozen products it's hard to treat each one like your baby.)

I think this story is more honest than most. This was not a simple narrative. The reality was chaotic, had ups and downs, and had no coherent narrative. He gives his lessons at the end but what I took away was that anyone trying to do this has to go through the process themselves to learn their own lessons.

The fact that his hit product was SaaS boilerplate isn't a negative to me. (At least it's not courseware on "How to be a solopreneur".) He pitches four solopreneur-oriented products at the end of the article. Maybe you don't like that, but I think it's smart, because why did he write this blog post and who is supposed to read it? I mean, we all take away something from everything we experience, and you can interpret it very differently from me.

It makes HTTP requests to fetch current exchange rates (for currency conversion) and to check for updates.

It still requires user interaction to actually apply the update.

> […] but I paid Apple for the privilege to use their service.

Under certain terms and conditions. Just like any other service: Gmail, Netflix, going to a local stadium for a sports match.

Everything you paid for was according to a certain agreement, and you don't get to do whatever you want just because you cut a cheque. You pay $X, you get Y. (Or you pay $0 and you are the product sold to others (attention economy)).
That's print('Hello, world!')
Honestly if they are coming out with a paper now Apple has probably been working on it for a year or two at minimum . Next year releases of macOS / iOS are rumored to have LLMs as a feature .
Radical free speech is not my moral dictatorship. I want to ban lots of vile groups from speaking. It is a truce.
On GrapheneOS, I switched from OSMAnd~ to Organic Maps, and have been mostly happy with it.

Organic Maps user interface could still use a little refinement (such as to give an unfamiliar user a sense of what mode they're in and how to get out of it). But it's much more approachable for basic use cases like "From where I am in the city, I want to get to address X."
Truck owners run the full gamut: I've had people roll coal on me in both old and new trucks, and I have plenty of friends with both old and new trucks.

I think the more interesting point is about marketing: companies do market to their extremes, and truck (and adjacent) manufacturers have pivoted towards larger, more internally spacious, more expensive/luxury featured, "meaner looking" trucks knowing that the core of their market doesn't care either way. This is true for every other car style too; what sets trucks apart is primarily their size and incongruity in some purchasing segments (e.g. the $90K luxury-complemented truck that's used for family grocery runs).
And it is a serious quality regression IMO. The dictionary is too small and misses/messes up a ton of basic words.
The point of the light is primarily for specific people like law enforcement to be able to identify that the vehicle has self-driving mode engaged so that they don't pull the operator over erroneously.

Running a LLM on-device alongside other apps (i.e. without it taking up all phone resources), and it being reasonably fast may well require more powerful hardware than they ever sold.

A voice assistant that takes 3 seconds to reply and then takes half a second per word is a nice demo, but not a product Apple wants to sell.

And yes, some people will say they rather have that than nothing on their hardware, but “the Internet” would say iOS 18 is slow, eats battery life, etc, damaging Apple’s brand.

Right, but it isn't enforced. There are a couple exceptions, but for the most part nobody with power to enforce the law will think about it.

Ctrl+f for the WASM compile function (or maybe replace it with a wrapper function that has a debugger statement), breakpoint there, step over, then look in the Sources panel. You'll find the WAT for your secret wasm then.

It may even still be in Sources panel post-deletion, in which case no need for any of that.
That sounds amazing and also the jailbreak of it via adversarial voice prompting sounds like a horrific vulnerability.
It's honestly pretty sad that at no time the authors of this paper bothered contacting laion to remove the links and work together to develop better filters. Also pretty interesting, that one of the authors calls, David Thiel himself the "Ai censorship death star". Yannic is probably right that they aren't particularly interested in bettering open source diffusion models and are more in the walled garden camp.
The "more complicated" version of frequentist statistics is called robust statistics. There's most likely a way to rephrase your favorite Bayesian analysis so as to make it fully kosher from a "robust+frequentist" point of view, even keeping the math unchanged. It just goes to show how silly the "controversy" is.

It's actually the protobuf design mistake that most adversely affects decoding performance. The original creator who went on to make Cap'N Proto makes the excellent point that it's better to leave the extra bytes and then just slap a compressor that only works on runs of 0 bytes on top. Faster for the same savings. There are also newer schemes from Daniel Lemire and others more amenable to SIMD decoding.
As a non-North-American, Beeper mini keeps me thinking if the whole point of this feud is about the colour of the bubble surrounding a message. Of, course, I know there is more than that, I mean, there must be... but so far, the debate of whether or or not the common user cares about the cryptographic security of their conversations online does not seem to strike me as the selling point for this type of implementation.
> Why can't I get my messages from Apple using friends in a secure way on my Pixel without serious hackery?

You can't get that with iMessage because that is not the service that Apple is offering. If the service does not meet your needs, use another one.

Why should Apple be forced to be all things to all people? If Netflix doesn't want to offer an Ubuntu client, why should they be forced to just because you paid for it? That's not part of the service offering.

Feel free to agitate for it, but shouldn't Netflix (or whomever) get to run their business their way?

Ah that makes sense.

I had the original release and watched it first in DVD - it was the first DVD I ever watched, and it blew me away.

I struggle to believe that the 4K restoration matches the theatrical, but I never saw it. But the Colors in it are so digital and garish, I don’t see how that would been how the 35mm film stock would have looked. Now I’m interested in finding out.

Ah man, that feels so unsatisfying. The fact that there are so many JAM site generators still without a good CMS that doesn't have a heavy integration process just makes me sad.

For day to day use I use Apple Maps, but when hiking Organic Maps is my absolute favorite. A lot more useful than Apple Maps or Google Maps (as it includes routes that are missing in the other two) and it allows to add custom tracks which is super useful for navigation.

That’s interesting.

I only watched the first Matrix on DVD I was too young for theatrical. It was an amazing experience to watch it projected in our living room.

I can’t say anything about what the theatrical Matrix looked like since I didn’t watch it, but the Color’s are so garish and over the top on the 4k, I really struggle to believe that was 100% the original look.

35mm film just doesn’t look like that in my experience.

Why does the OS matter for training models?

Apple would want to train models as fast as they could. Nvidia provides an off the shelf solution they can just buy and use for a very reasonable price and sell on the second hand market.

If they wanted to use their own hardware they would either need more of it, which would cost a lot and divert production from sellable devices; or they would need to make special chips with much bigger neural engines, which would cost even more.

Also Apple uses public clouds for service stuff. They may not even own any hardware and just be renting it from AWS/Azure/GCP for training.
You can still buy land cruisers with manual transmissions and more power than you need. American "trucks" are absurd. Such oversized engine blocks and cabs with the same size tray as a normal ute.

> In that sense, consulting does not scale.

Again, I believe you are presuming an exponential scale. Yes, if you invest in a consulting business, the rate of return isn't likely to grow exponentially, but it will grow, and it's entirely possible profits will grow proportionately with the investment.

Saying a business doesn't scale, from an investment perspective, means that the business can't leverage the investment to increase profits. That's certainly true of some businesses, and certainly true of some consulting businesses, but observably not true for any sector Fortune 500's are in.
