Cariad also had the CEO, CTO and CFO fired half a year ago. It's pretty impressive.

There are also rumors of Porsche and Audi being royally pissed off at Volkswagen for that garbage, and at least Porsche is ditching it for Android Auto.
> I like Vidal! I'm just saying, he's not like, the AskHistorians pick.

We're in damn near furious agreement . . . although there's a few of the original AskHistorians academics from a decade back that would take Vidal over Jared Diamond in a heartbeat :)

Be well.
I am the owner of an LLC.

And I agree with you.

There is a similar law going into effect at the Federal level in January. Some people tried to fearmonger when telling me about it, but I thought it was pretty sane after some research.

Having an LLC is a privilege, not a right, and we should act like it.
It’s not hard to figure out - it was crazy expensive - San Francisco the city is poorly managed - and there are much better places to live in the Bay Area.
Even with limitless energy, I think that wood that is dry enough to ignite is too brittle to sustain the force necessary.

Limbs sliding back and forth would strip the tinder and create long smooth patches which would cool between cycles in the high winds. You might end up with a charred coating on the limbs and sawdust all over the ground, but I don't think you'd get flame.

You really need the spin of a bow drill to concentrate the kinetic energy in a small enough patch, and you need tinder nearby.
This is not directly related but I really really really wish Realpage and landlords that used it to artificially increase rents pay a big price for their shenanigans.
There is a reason it's called 'real estate'.

Barring a significant disaster, the land itself will have value enough to provide you shelter, and in most cases a decent living.
I believe its relevant to mention that this doesnt have to be ill intent on part of Meta. Israeli intelligence is spending a lot of resources on influencing narratives. Its not surprising that this would include exploiting and influencing moderation. And its not like social media sites figured out perfect moderation yet, they are an easy target for such determined influences.
How would you write it? It's not like the Governor "didn't not not" do something. Veto, ban, noncompete all have negative connotations but they are very different concepts so don't just cancel each other out like multiple negatives normally would.
They don't qualify for social security but are paying into it and other than that there aren't any real social safety nets in this country anyway so I still do not understand this logic in the least.
I mean, yeah, but you could also do a lot of high powered randomized trials about kinds of cookies and learn that 80% of people always prefer eating the cookies with cocaine in them.
this is due to rent control. Landlord don't want to lose advantage of "high base"
Fool’s gold.

QC is the Alchemy of our times.

Just like room-temperature superconductivity is the perpetual motion of our time…
Yes, their hardware is positioned phenomenally with little RAM even by phone standards which is what you'd hack around with for inference on mobile architectures.
Same. I've never lived in SF, but I convinced my wife to relocate to NYC so I could kick-start my tech career. We lived there for 4 years and then moved to FL in 2018. I'm glad I had the experience of living there, but I'll never do it again. Nor will I ever move to SF, no matter how lucrative the offer.
Ultimately, the only thing Brazil can do is take action on entities inside of Brazil. So yes, Rumble could just say on and put the ball back in Brazil's court for them to block Rumble or go after Brazilian advertisers.
While I agree that one's views on censorship should not be based on whether one agrees or disagrees with the views presently impacted, I don't think your comparisons are reasonable for multiple reasons:

- Stalin and Hitler were _state_ censorship, where the state itself (and its heavy-handed use of force) were used to silence dissent. Meta is not a state, and Meta is not itself using force.

- When Niemöller says "they came for ...", he doesn't mean shadow-banning social media accounts. Silencing accounts on social media isn't _nothing_ but it's also definitely not equivalent to being sent to a prison camp.

- I think there is a legitimate broader question about what "censorship" should mean when talking about companies whose products involve communication. A requirement that user-provided messages should have equal reach irrespective of what they're saying seems to is in tension with the firm having its own freedom to not put certain things on their screens, on pages with their branding.

> One must speak out against censorship and against limiting freedom of speech, whenever it is being limited.

- I also think there's a legitimate question of whether people have a right to spread false information, including deliberate misinformation, irrespective of the platform. Claims that a chemical is medically effective in treating a specific disease need to be backed by clinical evidence. Intentionally lying to harm someone's reputation is defamation. "Censorship" in the form of "you can't criticize The Party" or "you can't publish that novel with its dangerous ideas" seems pretty different from "you can't say that your horse drug treats covid". Perhaps all viewpoints should have the same freedoms of expression, but we don't get to have our own facts. One can have principled reasons for believing that not all speech should be equally free.
man the cycles of confusion i had about this article sets off so many internal alarm bells.

I'm inclined to dismiss this as just snake oil scammy rubbish.

If they had named it something less misleading and click baity I'd be super enthused by it.
Tax rate seems too low to make any difference.
Several manufacturers actually tried that but the results were garbage and the cars didn't sell well. It was mainly a shortcut to produce compliance vehicles for sale in jurisdictions such as California that required every manufacturer to sell a certain number of zero emission vehicles. The optimal packaging of batteries and electric motors is just too different to work well with vehicle architectures that were intended for ICE.
It used to be pre-2020 that I was able to buy a house in prime NC location like RTP using just a downpayment for a house in CA
Apparently it’s a military doctrine? The hannibal directive, or something like that.

For instance, Peter Chapman, among many others.

Some of the hype is generated in a quasi-faceless fashion, such as the disaster of a Nature [1] paper by Google, and the surrounding PR claiming they constructed a wormhole with a quantum computer.

Or how about Leo Kouwenhoven [2], supported by Microsoft's quantum group, and the retracted Nature papers after their hand was forced?

Witness any number of talks at past Q2B conferences to see the audacious claims in applications (healthcare, logistics, ...), chip improvements, etc.

[1] "Nature" is a prestigious journal that is a prime target for quantum groups to publish in and consequently milk for PR.

I heard rumours of these claims a few weeks ago, I assume they are talking about the same thing. Nothing concrete but from a reputable person and honestly with how well mixtral performs on the chatbot arena elo board I wouldn't be surprised if it's true.
The Bayesian formula is dreadfully useful in machine learning, in the modeling of generative problems. However because integration (in calculus) is computationally intractable, we usually have to use approximations instead of true bayesian stats.
It is interesting that the word “cybernetics” doesn’t really come up anymore. I think the optics of calling a system “AI” is less jarring. You have the AI over here and then you have the totally unrelated thing that it is controlling/curating/producing over there. It makes AI seem like your new future robot coworker.

But the real state of affairs is that whatever AI touches must “be touched” in return. The “abyss stares back” and all that. Think about how recommendation systems control the majority of how people interact with the internet. How auto-moderation causes people to self-censor. How you talk in a weird stilted way to Siri to make sure it understands you. How sure are you that your sexual desires aren’t the result of billion-dollar porn AI digging its claws into your little hapless lizard brain?

The reality is that we are more free in some ways and less in others, so I don’t think that TK was right (certainly blowing up buildings isn’t a way forward!) But there is definitely a part of me that wishes to be entangled in as few giant black-box bureaucratic power structures as possible.
Can Microsoft Flight Simulator help me learn to fly or make me a better pilot?
IanP was a colleague of mine a lifetime ago. Thanks for reminding me.
“Pretty high up manager” implies competent careerist, not software engineer. Especially at a company like GM.
Full stop, only native car software I’ve ever thought wasn’t trash is Tesla. Toyota does get second place with CarPlay support.
Do you have a simple example prompt set? I am having trouble figuring out how to try it on my own? Thanks!
I've been idly wondering, what is the relationship between memory unsafety, or more generally, undefined behavior, and ambient authority? For security purposes, is the former a special, unintended (for the most part, it's a bug) form of the latter?
“In many cases rent control appears to be the most efficient technique presently known to destroy a city—except for bombing.” -Assar Lindbeck
In essence batching allows for more efficient usage of memory bandwidth. Without batching for every generation you need to transfer the whole model from GPU memory to GPU core once for every image which sets an upper bound on speed.
With batching the bottlenecks start showing up elsewhere.

For SD1.5 4090 is able to do ~17it/s without batching and ~90-100it/s with batching.

Although these numbers might be old at this point, I looked at it ~3mo ago.
Bebop to the Boolean Boogie
Because it doesn’t belong here and it’s inflammatory. Also most articles are heavily biased but claim not to be. For example, they trust numbers given by an internationally recognized terrorist organization. But tell me again how it’s not biased.
Forget rent control, the way commercial real estate works, many banks give loans based on certain minimum rents being paid, if the landlord lowers the rent the bank can call the entire loan to be paid immediately.
> Two of the suggestions made were brontobyte (from 'brontosaurus') and hellabyte (from 'hell of a big number'). (Indeed, the Google unit converter function was already stating '1 hellabyte = 1000 yottabytes' [6].) This introduced a new driver for extending the range of SI prefixes: ensuring unofficial names did not get adopted de facto.

Rats. So close!
Hamas is a terrorist organization and anyone who supports them are also terrorists. You should seriously take a step back and look at the antisemitic Jew hating garbage you just wrote.
Our HOA elections are unable to proceed without a defined quorum, yet the US has no such rules… strange! I think first past the post is a big part of the issue though, and am holding on hope for ranked choice voting to expand
The human brain is a hell of a drug.

This is why we do randomized, placebo controlled studies.

Saying “you can feel the mental fog clear” is likely a placebo effect.
That's a different argument, and not one I really care about. It's no more "addictive" than tv and way less harmful
> Interestingly, when I see Bayesians simulate random data (to introduce the concepts on this data) they usually assume a true parameter value. E.g. when sampling from Y = a + b * X + e, they'll assume fixed, true values of a and b and not random variables - which is a frequentist assumption! So far I've never seen e.g. b being sampled from Normal(mu=2, sigma=1) instead of just setting b=2.

The Bayesian philosophy of "random parameters" does not mean that Bayesian methods cannot be assessed for frequentist properties or compared against frequentist procedures.
And then the executive can null proc the law.

The only way to make laws that stick is to include a private right of action so that any enterprising / money-grubbing lawyer can make money enforcing the law you wrote.
It will also reboot the infotainment sometimes (but not always) when it crashes.
I don't. The main work of the Enlightenment was to end religious wars, and I don't think that should not have been attempted because religious wars would be replaced by national wars. We have to keep working through all the crises that ensue. Blaming the Enlightenment for all the dominoes that fell over removes responsibility for other actors and currents, and makes the Enlightenment a scapegoat.
no, they only scan if you buy booze.
I don’t recall Pelosi doing that. Have a source?
> So, if you can get 50% to 75% of the eligible population to not vote, then it becomes much easier to maintain power without actually having to take any responsibility for your actions.

Except, this isn't actually the strategy employed by Dems in several battleground states. Growth in voter turnout has correlated with strong outcomes for democrats pretty reliably over the last 10 years, at all levels, especially in the rust belt.
Spaghettx is also the gender non-binary usage. Which makes this counting system slightly problematic.
I don’t have any practical experience but if I were to guess it’s relatively easy for a developer to estimate a cost of retrieval in terms of CPU/time or something, which can let the cache make smarter predictions about eviction depending on access patterns. Typically, a longer chained primary db call could be higher cost than say a quick lookup in a local kv store. That said, perhaps those should simply be different caches instead.

TTL doesn’t say anything about eviction among objects that are still live, no? For that you need an eviction policy.
I think a lot of the (over)reaction to “dumb” questions is that people of average capability can’t explain the conventional wisdom, and therefore feel an ego threat when it’s questioned.

To quote the point:

> So one should be unafraid to ask “stupid” questions, challenging conventional wisdom on a subject; the answers to these questions will occasionally lead to a surprising conclusion, but more often will simply tell you why the conventional wisdom is there in the first place, which is well worth knowing.

I’m always amazed at how many people insist the world is round, but can’t explain how we know that. Or explain the experiments you can see yourself, eg pendulums or round pools.
Devs were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn't stop to think if they should. Our industry seems to have a problem with FOMO and leaving well enough alone. Most modern web GUI frameworks and modern software in general are engineered around buzzwords not usability. We can't seem to just stick with simple boring things that work and constantly reinvent the wheel because we didn't like the hubcaps.
May be someday we could have a mini NAS build with microSD card. If I could have 8 of these in ZFS with 4 of them being for redundancy bring a total 8TB storage. In Raid it would still be able to saturate 2.5Gbps Ethernet.
The whole article is about the rent going down in SF. Adjusted for US-wide inflation, it's down 30% since late 2019.
Unfortunately, to carry that low annualized rent forward, one must move annually.
I never claimed it was fascist, just that it was leading Brazil down a dark path. The reason I believe this is because the pandemic is long over... there is no need for a mandate anymore. It's excessively heavy-handed government forcing an ideology onto everyone in that country.
As much as I personally dislike the AfD, claiming they're breaking the law by doing Nazi propaganda is going a bit too far.

They definitely straddle the line, but no court has judged them as Nazi yet. There were however other parties, like ANS, NO and FAP (amazing name) that were banned in Germany because of that. Perhaps that's why AfD has wised up.
I spent hundreds of hours playing Tradewars as a kid.

and once you're done with that, put James Joyce's Ulysses into ChatGPT and ask it for the points.

You know what I find "insufferable"? That more and more people seem incapable of reading or writing beyond dot points.
Plenty of fights over resources have nothing to do with religion or nationalism. They can be used to justify killing people, but so can human rights.
Freedom of speech is drastically compromised when there's a lower and lower ceiling of freedom of thought. Meta or any platform limiting speech is a 2x "win" because it also limits further proliferation of such ideas.

That is, people can't think what they aren't aware of. People can't change their minds when the alternatives are limited.
The Bay Area is one thing, but why not nyc?
Just something like, “I need to write an abstract for a presentation about XYZ. It need to this that and the other thing. Ask me questions about it.”

Or

“I have this data in this format and I need to write a program to transmit it using this system to an another system that accepts this format. I’m using Python. Ask me questions to help me figure out an approach.”
Will you point me to a dataset that demonstrates this? I've looked at state level data for a few states, and while I have seen higher turnout in Presidential elections, I see very low and declining turnout in those Primaries which I think just causes the same problem and allows the general election turnout to mask this problem.

Then, looking at off year and congressional elections, the data is much less hopeful. It's almost _always_ the case that you see less than 50% eligible, and even less than 50% _registered_ turnout.
Plain CSRF wouldn't help because they're scraping the site and executing the JS. It has to be time delayed CSRF so they give up and submit before it's loaded.

The real solution is to use a CAPTCHA, but they're so user hostile, that's the last resort.
My USR HST 14.4 model was a gateway to another world, and as it turned out, a career. The SysOp discount encouraged me to start my own BBS. Somehow I don't think this marketing ploy is given enough significance. It was partly responsible for the explosion in BBS numbers.

How do people know that real-world QC is even possible?

I understand enough of nuclear physics and quantum physics to see that fusion is mostly a technical/engineering problem while QC is widely speculative.
That’s because it’s the Republicans who are by the far the worst offenders.
Lately there been steam rolling far right people inyo places like achool boards in off years.
Is this different from Rubber Duck Debugging?
I'm not sure of that either. For one thing, the students would be blown away.

One thing we didn't have when I took stats was computers. I graduated from high school in 1982, and the colleges in my state were just beginning to get computers. I wonder if stats could be approached differently if it could start with nothing but data -- lots of it -- and graphing tools. This could even happen pre-college.
Things have gotten better since then haven't they? It's not just because of the industrial revolution; attitudes did change. I think the best indictment of the Enlightenment is that its thinkers were too premature with their declaration of victory over human nature. This is ongoing, in fits and starts, but with an upward trajectory.
The only government funded news in the US is VOA. The CPB gives out grants but public media are all responsible for their own budgets and a lot of them (notably NPR and it's largest affiliates in NYC and LA) have been crushed by a drop in ad revenue and cutting back severely on content production.
Aside from industry news, nobody survives just on subscriptions.
... nothing?
Not just legal, but constitutionally protected free speech. Effectively "repeal the first amendment or accept legal bribery".
As an example: if Coca Cola’s secret is worth $100 but the employees are making $1 each then a rival can poach them for $10 and still get a great return. Coke could split the $100 more fairly but Pepsi still only needs to pay $100/N + 1 to outbid for the secret.

Industries based on secret keeping would, over time, corrupt each other out of business until only a few are left. I can see a how the authorities would argue that this eventual monopoly is bad and look ways to artificially put moats around the secrets.

I can also see an argument for this kind of business being allowed to natural cease to exist altogether.

Are Wall St secrets different in some way? I suppose for a start we’re talking about sales Rolodexes and client relationships which are much more readily available than cola recipes. In that example the employee’s network is the business value, so why shouldn’t they shop around and take their clients with them?

Is there a better analogy to help understand the economics of the situation?
Dumb question: has anyone tried arguing that a noncompete is a 14A violation?
Most of the code you write is similarly incorrect at first. Then you fix it, and then it's right. Unless you ship the buggy code, the bugs harm nobody. Likewise, borrow failures. It is hard to understand what is so difficult about this concept.

The Bay Area is also a much bigger place than SF. Unless you’re familiar with a lot of the Bay Area it would be pretty unfortunate to refuse a lucrative offer in many Bay Area places because of the problems that SF is infamous for.
If you think this AI hypejerk is where actual power comes from, you’re deluding yourself into thinking Silicon Valley is the source of actual societal power.
