Some vehicles do come with built in speed limiters.

Trucks, vehicles used by delivery companies etc will often have speed limiters; presumably it lowers their insurance?

And some production cars offer them as well. As I understand it, this allows them to scam the emissions/range tests, because no matter how easy to disable or how rarely used the speed limiter is, so long as it leaves the factory with the 60mph speed limiter enabled, then it goes through the emissions tests with it enabled.

If we didn't have ten fingers would we care so much about decimals? They aren't particularly well suited to anything more than any other number system. Base 12 actually has a lot more going for it.
Not just private chat, almost any chat channel can be used[1]. It's quite common for certain addons to quietly share their versions upon e.g. joining a group, so that you get a notification if a new version is out. It's a bit of a longer explanation, but another fun example of out-of-band privileged information in World of Warcraft:

The "fight" between Blizzard's boss design and addon creators trivializing said encounters is long and not worth going deeply into. But, for example, if the strategy of a boss is "if you get a glowing glyph over your head, run over there and stand in a square formation with the other guys with glowing glyphs", an addon could use hard-to-ignore sounds and visuals to tell you that a) you have to run now, and b) exactly which corner of the square formation to run to.

I believe that in the latest raid, the developers tried restricted certain information from the API (e.g. "there is a glyph over the player's head") in an attempt to reduce that kind of strategy automation. The players then proceeded to manually feed this information (e.g. "i have a glyph over my head") into their addons using buttons mapped to API calls like this, allowing for partial automation (e.g. "your corner in the formation is top-left"). This stirred quite the drama, but the that's besides the point.

Look at dynamic microphones.

Check this out: (this is where I got the idea of recording through speakers)

In 8th grade, I took apart a dynamic microphone I had picked up from radio shack. It was essentially a tiny speaker! Naturally, I went ahead and connected it to the headphone jack of a portable cassette recorder and...

Heard some of the BEST sound I had ever heard out of small electronics! It was not loud, but it was detailed and full so long as one held the mic right against the ear.

I bought another one and mounted both of them inside some hearing protection type ear covers, essentially turning them into a sort of weird headphone.

Later on, a friend showed me a Walkman type radio / cassette player and the little open air type speakers it came with looked a whole lot like the dynamic mic "speakers" did and had a similar sound too.

I had come close to producing open air type listening gear on my own. My first attempt at stereo listening failed because I just did not have a great head mount. Went with the ear protection gear because that fit well and did make the most of the great, but somewhat quiet sound the little plastic cones in the cheapo dynamic mic could deliver.

Had I been able to come up with a suitable mount, it was extremely likely I would have ended up with two small speakers resting right on my ears Walkman style.

In any case, that is when I realized speakers can be microphones and that lead up to the point of discussion here now.
agreed. I think IPO is the opposite of "take it easy" (gotta keep that stock price up quarter by quarter.)

acquisition is also "long term". Usually there's months involved before hand, and months, if not years, hitting targets after acquisition to actually get the fully agreed-to payout.

Equally, sure, I agree, there's seldom a "can take it easy" moment running a profitable business, but over the same sort of time frames as IPO and acquisition you can certainly "wake up" and realize that all that hard work is now paying off. Once a company is in the black, for multiple years, and has accumulated "large enough" reserves, and you're not putting out fires three times a week, it can certainly feel like retirement (financial independence) is getting closer...

If you're not already in Austin, it's not a good idea.

- ATX climate is brutal compared to San Diego's idyllic mild nature. It's 19 F right now and last summer, it was 105-110 F every day for several months. Blizzards and ice storm. Power outages.

- More homeless people than SD but not quite LA levels.

- Property taxes. Some areas have an effective 2%/year rate.

- Women lack humane and proper reproductive medicine legal protections.

- ATX is the worst of mix of big and small. Tons of skyscrapers went up that pushed out Austin fixtures and squashed local gathering places. It's approaching San Jose downtown but with worse roads.

- Lots of traffic. I-35 is a parking lot 16 hrs/day.

- Massive influx of cool-chasing, mid-West, unhip, boring yuppies who buy wildly inappropriate dogs for apartments, don't train them, leave shit everywhere, and then drag them around by the neck because they're totally clueless about training.

- It's nothing like the DFW metroplex which is a proper, complete urban area.

- Seasonal waves of Airbnb partiers but not this year because of the weather.

- Sure there's some music acts but you're probably going to have to drive to HTX or DFW.

- Texas is known for industrial pollution and lax regulations.

- Urban traffic design hostile to pedestrians and non-automotive users with random, unexpected chunks of concrete everywhere.

Also, Apple had a reputation for not getting sucked into emotional market fads or hockey-stick bubble over-hiring with massive layoffs later. It's doubly curious why then they would risk the fragile cohesion of niche, high-demand talent by trying to uproot their lives, that of N families including wives, husbands, and children, to shift somewhere else entirely when technical telepresence means exist and are usable. It just seems like pointless, expensive, loss-oriented churn when anywhere with good internet and marginally close time-zone overlap does the trick. (Queue "The Beatles - The Inner Light".) Perhaps this board shakeup is just a passive signal that really it's time for TC to go and the new board to find a bolder Apple leader who's going to lead with new categories without cannibalizing the central business to maximize short-term profits.
Fair point. They do have efficiency cores (Zen4c) in some of the latest mobile and server chips. However, even when they do have dedicated efficiency cores, it's not clear that this would be a major advantage in the Windows software landscape.
What security and management crap does your workplace mandate/preinstall, if any?

My personal Macs with none of that crap perform extremely well, but that third-party security crap can be a massive killer.
Wind speed is an other argument. Air resistance is big component at higher speed. And adding wind to that. So you need to some reserve power to overcome those sort of conditions.
Yep. For example Spotify and Klarna.
This coming from the IMF blog (?!), i.e. the head of a vile institution like the IMF writing about a bubble-y subject like AI while everyone else is economically and socially struggling, is the next level of late-stage capitalism. These guys and ladies are losing it, they're losing all contact to the reality on the ground.
I don't think that's a good analogy. Hammer would be a social construct if some group of people used "hammer" as a technical term for the tool and another group used the word "hammer" specifically for tools used to hit someone. In your example everyone agrees about what a hammer is, they just use it for different purposes. That is not as interesting to analyse.

The distinction between the uses is important, because you may end up talking to one of the groups and not realise you're using the same word for different things.
I did get what we call "table beer" when eating at my grand parents, but never in school.

It must have been a regional thing.

Anyway, you're right that school would have been a lot better :)

Seeing the other comments, it still leaves me the question if this is a limit of scale or a limit of technology? How much more can LLMs scale up over the next decade?

it becomes a simple engineering challenge with some clear economics that you can model for different solutions.

This 100%, this is exactly how I felt about it too. Now it's a simple engineering and IMO economics challenge, it turns out, it's quite possible.
I think the main reason people don't do something like this more often is that this turns you from a "coder" to a "manager". Your task now is to serialize the issue and to ask the right questions / keep everything moving along.

I don't particularly mind because I cre more about building something than doing my craft but I can totally see how this will be different for many people.
Valve disagree. And the fact that they made an updated version that supports HDR demonstrates that it's important.

Form factor (console or not) has no bearing on importance of this issue.
Same in Glasshouse by Charles Stross, and probably in many other sci-fi novels. It even glances over acclimatization to a new time representation.
I think Folders are more an example where neither the technical implementation nor the mental model fit the real world particularly well (in the general case).
That's just begging the question. Why are the "others" buying?
> DP algorithms are "just" clever ways to cache a recursion

It does't work all the time like that since caching increases the Space Complexity.

There are DP problems that can be solved without storing all possible values in an array.
I'm curious about the rhyming in Russian poetry. Latin poetry doesn't rhyme (it's defined almost entirely by the patterning of long and short syllables; word stress exists in Latin but isn't relevant to poetic meter), and my Latin teacher explained this by reference to the fact that, Latin inflection being what it is, it would be extremely easy to rhyme. So easy, apparently, that nobody ever even tried.

It is my impression that Russian is heavily inflected in much the same manner as Latin. So - do Russians feel that certain rhymes are "cheap" or otherwise unworthy? Is it common in poetry to rhyme e.g. one verb form with an identical verb form in the rhyming line, or one noun case ending with the same noun case ending? Any distinction between "high" poetry and vulgar or vernacular poetry?

(For what it's worth, my instincts for English poetic rhyming are:

- Rhyming a word with itself is Poor Form. It's still Poor Form if you rhyme a word with a homonym of itself.

- Rhyming an inflectional suffix with itself doesn't work in the terms I just stated. The suffix is free to participate in a rhyme, but it can't supply the entire rhyme. So rhyming "being" with "seeing" is fine, because "be" and "see" rhyme and it's permissible to continue that rhyme into "being" / "seeing", but rhyming "being" with "doing" can't be done, even though -ing and -ing are the same syllable.)
They always look blue to me... maybe it's relative
Somehow I haven't been able to find an explanation that I find convincing.
Perhaps there should be a way to limit their speed from the user side at least. Maybe I don’t want my teen driving over 65 mph anywhere.

And then there’s courts. If courts can force drunk drivers to add ignition interlocks to their cars, they can throttle the engines of chronic speeders too.
Ha, I figured it must be Tiny even before realizing who the author was (or seeing the name in the url).

It's tough as a founder who only ever expects to sell one company though. You don't really know how much you're potentially giving up for that easy deal if you haven't tried to solicit other offers. But you can't know of any offer is really real without spending months working on it. I'm really not sure what I'll do when I'm ready to sell. Maybe the perfect offer will just drop into my lap someday; that'd be nice.
Based on the diagram of the locks and water saving basins at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panama_Canal_expansion_project... they could have a second basin D at the same level as basin C. They would pump the fresh water in C that has come down the lock chain back up into the lake. They could pump sea water into D that would be used to fill the bottom lock when a ship is acsending the chain. Then the sea water in the bottom lock would be drained to the sea when a ship descends.

The ASUS ZenBook 14 has been tested to have about 18 hours of battery life for basic web browsing [1]. In the same test the 2020 MacBook Air 13" only scored about 14 hours. The Zenbook also easily beat the M1 in multicore performance, though single core is still where Apple shines.

Unfortunately, this test didn't include a more recent Macbook, so I can't tell how it stacks up against the M3. Still, for about €500 less than the M2 Air, I know what I would pick. The 1600p screen and the soldered-on memory is a bit of a downside, but the thing sells for less than half the price of a new M2 Macbook Air when you actually configure it with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage; whatever improvements the M2 chip made don't seem all that interesting for that price difference.

Based on their historical data [2] for another guide, the Zenbook also seems to beat the M2 in terms of multi core performance and browsing battery life when recorded in another test, but I can't tell if those numbers are representative.

In this case , yes, why can't my energy requirements be supplanted with a fully charged battery grid, solar from somewhere else, or gas peaker or something similar?

Doesn't seem like a compelling case for running coal power plants 24/7 to be honest.
The clearance above the train. You have to rebuild every passenger transportation train to work with higher clearance or you build a dedicated railway system only for transportation. Neither financial nor ecologically sustainable.
Cynical view: without new regulation in the area of AI, it will reduce the value of labor in many domains and completely eliminate the need for it in many others. Profits will go to companies like OpenAI, unemployment will rise and people will be left to fend for themselves, and it's exactly what's going to happen.

Ha! One of? I'm going to tout it right now as the world's best, hands down, full stop, not even close. Second and third place - maybe Germany and France? Western Europe fills out most of the top 10. One can argue about exactly who goes where.

But you can't argue with number one, it's Japan, by a mile, in fact by 19,029 miles.

Wastl himself denied that this is the case[1]. This is a lie.

Always been the case for AoC, how is that different from other years?

We have a clear example of a set of tasks that state-of-the-art LLMs cannot perform. We are doing science, for once. Why do we need to get into full conspiracy mode?

Some people have even speculated that the problems this year were deliberately formulated to foil ChatGPT, but Eric actually denied that this is the case.

Citing the author of AoC:

Here are things LLMs didn't influence: The story. The puzzles. The inputs.

I did the same thing this year that I do every year: I picked 25 puzzle ideas that sounded interesting to me, wrote them up, and then calibrated them based on betatester feedback.

On resistance, some cars are purchased to be able to tow a double axle caravan | trailer laden up a hill - on the flat with no towing it's going to be able to go fast.
That’s a bit disingenuous

The thread is about road cars

Road cars don’t run their engines at 20,000RPM

Displacement is one of the main predictor variables of road cars’ top speeds

You are completely right technically but it’s not an apt comparison given the thread’s topic
This can be replicated without consuming any glucose, by simply washing something carbohydrate around the mouth. It's called the "Carbohydrate Mouth Rinse"[1].

If I can summarise, from memory, it tricks the brain into thinking more fuel is being added so it's okay to release more of the stored fuel it was holding back.

> Routinely rinsing a carbohydrate-containing solution around the oral cavity for between 5-10 s has been shown to improve high intensity endurance performance lasting 30-70 min.

> The magnitude of the performance benefit is similar to that of carbohydrate ingestion, although athletes who are prone to gastro-intestinal (GI) distress during high intensity exercise may want to consider rinsing because of the reduced risk of GI discomfort.

> These effects appear to be specific to carbohydrate and independent of taste or sweetness.

Zen4 is competitive when it comes to actual computing. When doing (almost) nothing, the Apple system comes out on top, but that also has a lot to do with its software.
I know. I'm asking why the hard limit is at 250KM/h for most cars, but not at 120.

I use cruise control and speed limiters regularly, otherwise.

Hmmm, no. Altavista was the go-to search engine at the time (launched 1995), and was a crawler (i.e. not a curated catalog/directory) based search. Lycos predates that but had keyword rather than natural language search.

Google didn't launch until 1998.

There should be a 'rule' (in the style of Godwin's or similar) regarding people making overly reductive, grand statements in areas way outside of their expertise.
Absolutely verboten. You have the choice of the manner of your excommunication today.
The simplest reason? My guess is capitalism.

If every car model available for a consumer to purchase has the same advertised speeds, the competition between manufacturers will slowly dry up. I'd guess this would result in less cars being sold.

Would manufacturers compensate by competing in other areas to attract buyers?

Why buy a Kawasaki Ninja H2SX when you could buy a Yamaha N Max...
I'm not sure based on what exactly you think the performance is very close (video is a terrible way to present information), but in the benchmark shown at the end of the "CPU Performance" section, the Intel beats the Pi by almost 3x.
