Statistics is a tricky thing. There are 43K traffic fatalities in the US per year and 53K deaths from colorectal cancer. Which means chances of dying from colorectal cancer is higher than dying in a traffic accident. Well, over a lifetime, but distribution over age can be different etc. In the same way 43K fatalities are not an even distribution over region, type of driving, destination, age etc.

Of course I have to admit that flying commercial airlines is safer by average numbers, in the US and for now. But if we estimate total flying hours as 1.3B/year (http://web.mit.edu/airlinedata/www/2018%2012%20Month%20Docum... times 100 passengers per aircraft) it only takes 1300 deaths per year to make it even with average traffic fatalities. If that flight had been unlucky enough to go down we would have had 177 deaths, already not "orders of magnitude safer" than driving. And the trend is not good.

But again, we are comparing apples to oranges. Driving is a very different experience, both long and short trips. Nobody chooses to drive from Boston to LA just out of fear of flying (well, maybe there are exceptions, but "nobody" is still a very accurate word). As for short trips, changes of getting into an accident in urban area driving to the airport is probably higher than driving in the other direction towards your destination. Again, it depends.
For a long time now, AMD has had to open source their competitors to Nvidia’s proprietary solutions. For example, DLSS vs FSR. This is because AMD is usually caught with their pants down by Nvidia features and have to try to make up ground with severely limited resources.

It helped that it made gamers love AMD more because they perceive open source as being better for the community. In actuality, AMD is not willing to spend the resources to fully compete with Nvidia and open source is their only way of hoping the ecosystem adopt their usually inferior solution.
The Supremacy Clause establishes that federal law takes precedent over state laws.

The Tenth Amendment says that powers not specifically given to the federal government are reserved to the states or the people at large.

The Ninth Amendment says that the enumeration of some rights does not mean people don't have other, unenumerated rights.
Then I have to say, open source AMD drivers is a double edged sword.

If AMD thinks being open source means it can just give up its software efforts in favor of "the community" - i.e. people volunteering personal time here and there..... then that's a bad outcome.

It's probably better to have closed source drivers that are fully the responsibility of AMD for better or for worse.
Well, after leaving the Web 3.0 failed semantic hype [1] I find stuff such as ChatGPT and LLMs already working. For example, today I started looking to buying a TV stand of good quality. Started an all classic series of search on Google with the typical ads and compiled lists on top. After half an hour feeling running in circles (the results were about the same companies) I fired ChatGPT, asked about a list of places, asked to expand the list three times and voila! all concepts that I remembered about Web 3.0, RDF, triples, FreeBase [2], etc where unnecesary now for reaching Web 3.0.

Only 10 to 30 of the 130 mechanics "walked off the job". The press like AP News is straight up lying that 130 mechanics walked off the job, that other media is parroting. The rest like their stock options and performance based pay hikes instead of the union table rates for all:

The number of striking Tesla mechanics is so low that IF Metall refuses to reveal how many are striking, and recently expelled some Tesla employees for not obeying their power play of striking.

https://da.se/2023/12/if-metall-flera-strejkbrytare-utesluts...

It's a powerplay by unions who have to resort to sympathy strikes using the government monopoly on giving out registration plates because Tesla workers are happy. Even those are failing as Tesla sales in Sweden have increased over 2022 in Nov and Dec 2023, in spite of blockades on Tesla car imports. Would be interesting to see the court battle over plates because Swedish law says plates must be provided for lawfully registered cars. The law usually trumps contracts, which should have exceptions in the cases of force majeure anyway.

There are different measures of unemployment. Typically, U3 is used, but you can use U6, which is "all unemployed, marginally attached and part-time for economic reasons individuals as a percent of the civillian labor force plus all marginally attached workers."
Clearly the author just wants you to click on the videos and doesn’t care if you can actually read the text.
That's a partisan phrasing, but I think there's an uncontroversial, generally accepted assertion there. Namely, starting with Wickard v. Filburn in 1942, the courts were willing to uphold nearly any federal program under the banner of "interstate commerce" until US. v. Lopez.
it could be that those retiring are quite productive (e.g., old but experienced etc). Them retiring, but perhaps did not train an equivalent replacement (which almost nobody does), and the firm hiring junior people, means that the total productivity drops.

Therefore, if the demand for goods/services doesn't really drop (aka, that retirement money getting spent), but productivity does, it would point to inflation.
> The more general argument is that monopolies are inefficient, and most instances of government programs are monopolies.

Even more general, markets where it is hard for new competitors to enter are inefficient. It's perfectly possible for a market with 10 or 20 competitors to stop competing for mutual benefit. I'd even argue a monopoly (a single dominant company) is fine, so long as it's easy for competitors to enter the market.

Consider the WW1 Christmas truce and other fraternizations. If the same actors are together long enough, they'll act for mutual ease. That was a good thing in WW1, but it's not a good thing when companies stop competing in a capitalist society.
When you use 'go get' to add a package to your Go project, it actually fetches the code through a Google proxy which saves a snapshot of the commit in question. Even if the original source goes away, they should have a copy of every version of the library ever fetched via their tool, and devs can continue to build existing stuff.

(If you don't want Google to see what packages you're fetching, you can also turn this off with an environment variable.)
does a ceo or worker represent their company when making public statements on media platforms?
> Is the free-filing system designed to maximize your return?

The solution to this is for the government to publish the source code in the public domain. Then anyone who can do better can fork it and sell it, which will make that market more competitive when it's cheaper to enter because the government has already done 80% of the work, but there will only be a market for this if the government isn't maximizing your return. "Better return than the free system or your money back" would be a great way to get customers, and they'd be viable with fewer customers when they're only paying the incremental cost of doing what the government failed to.

And then the government system would be embarrassed if private forks could frequently beat them, which improves their incentives.

Ah, yes, you're right, we're only interested in the upper tail.
Yeah but one of the points the article makes is that people don't necessarily know if they're infringing or not with Midjourney, especially when text is generated. Only rarely if at all does this happen with humans (the subconscious is a mysterious place) but it is easy with LLMs and harder to detect because the person doing the generation is not as involved in the creation of the text. Of course LLMs could be patched to detect and alert but... how? and what incentive to do so?

Of course the models don't infringe but perhaps the people building them did by basing their IP on other people's IP. for the courts to decide...
This is a hopium article. We are still accelerating past 1.5℃. By many metrics, we have already exceeded it.

The only reason why we haven’t officially exceeded it, is because some benchmarks are as much as twenty contiguous years at or above 1.5℃ worldwide before we have “reached” the 1.5℃ threshold.

And that’s an absolutely delusional metric, created purely for political convenience. There is no other way to sugarcoat that, no way to spin it as anything other than deeply delusional.

We are still solidly on the “business as usual” path that brings us to a minimum of 4℃ world by 2100. And 6+℃ by 2100 is still within the range of plausibility.

I don’t care what governments say, I only care about ppm including methane.

Warming trails CO2 by about two decades. The climate we are experiencing now - with its western droughts and northern wildfires and snow crab population crashes - represents the atmospheric carbon of about 2003-2005. That’s Windows XP era atmospheric carbon.

Atmospheric carbon is much, much worse now. And the climate we will have in 15-20, from today’s atmospheric carbon, will be commensurately worse.

I would be very surprised if we don’t have our first series of world-wide famines, which will deeply impact even first-world countries, by some time in the 2030s. I would be shocked if we aren’t seeing severe drops in the planetary population through starvation and resource conflicts, by the 2050s. And by severe, I’m talking a 20-40% global drop within a decade or two.

Plus, our global economy is absolutely fragile. Just look at the shortages and economic chaos that occurred when a teeny-tiny, near-insignificant pandemic with a piddly 3-5% fatality rate (12-20% without modern medical care) swept through humanity.

Almost nothing is made entirely within 1,000km of where it is consumed. Even a simple can of peaches requires the coordinated efforts of a dozen production, processing, manufacturing, and packing facilities in about as many countries scattered across the planet. Once the chaotic weather of climate change causes food shortages and people start starving, all that is going to fall to pieces as they prioritize surviving the near term future ahead of international trade. 99% of what even North Americans and Europeans need to survive will vanish from shelves.

And since humanity is now (at minimum!!) 4-5× times past the planet’s carrying capacity, humanity is going to crash in an absolutely epic manner.
How would you build a semantic search engine that can also take rules, e.g. "AI papers with the word 'transformer' in them."
This assumes that the limit is full generative parity, and not just a our SOTA classification techniques maxing out.
This is roughly accurate for general aviation (people taking a Cessna out for a ride on a weekend, etc.) - it is about 10x deadlier than driving and the rates have been pretty stable for decades.

If you look at just airlines, they’re in turn 10x _safer_ than driving if I remember correctly. There’s this anecdote that after 9/11 people were afraid to fly and died on the highways in much higher numbers. There’s also the fact that there there was a very small number of passenger deaths involving airliners in the US in over a decade (meaning no major crashes). Compared to thousands and thousands of traffic deaths a year that should drive the point home, even when you have to adjust for base rates.

You just aren't moving the same amount of weight with those exercises. If I'm squatting 300 pounds, while most of the time the weight is distributed, there will be moments where one of my legs is balancing close to 300 pounds. There will be no moment anywhere close to that with a single leg pistol or skater squat. Those are great exercises, but you'll get a different outcome IMO.

Yes, I think "predecessor" is a more apt term than competitor. AGP was introduced in 1997 and was pretty ubiquitous for almost a decade. While the first PCIe graphics cards started coming out around 2004, AGP cards continued to be released for several years later until they were phased out completely.

I think you missed the point. All of those things are sold to do the purpose they're meant for. Someone isn't telling folks to drink gasoline. Actually someone probably is. . .

Most would assume a supplement is safe. If it isn't, we shouldn't be allowing advertisers to lie. Everything you mentioned is upfront about purpose, it doesn't mislead people to use it in a dangerous way.

I'd be okay with the FDA allowing dangerous things to be sold, so long as the product explicitly said it was dangerous and not to be used in anything other than the proper way.

The fact that the EPA allows two different suites of tests to be ran then marketed under the same name, without any disclaimers, is insane. Either do something like "X miles EPA 1 (est)"/EPA 2, or deprecate the EPA test cycle that only Tesla seems to still be using (probably for backwards compatibility/comparisons to older Tesla cars).
And we know from other data posted on this site that car sales are falling. Which likely means that mostly relatively well-off people who are less likely to default are buying cars.

There's this idea that west coast cities are shitholes, and honestly it's BS. I live in the Seattle suburbs and I'm downtown regularly, and the only obvious problem is the public disorder visited on us all by Martin v. Boise. It's pretty clear from housing prices that wealthy people are still happy living in Seattle: the market is speaking loudly. Don't get me wrong—I live in the suburbs for a reason, you couldn't pay me enough to live in Seattle—but as cities go, it's fine. Republicans who hate big disorderly cities like I do should just enjoy their suburban parking lots and breathing room, and quit pretending city chaos equals Democratic mismanagement.
