For ordinary travellers, sure.

But there is a lot of business travel where people are flying just for a day or two for sales meetings etc. And given they power frequent flyer programs clearly there are a lot of them.

Having done many such flights I would much rather a Vision Pro than a cheap LCD hotel room TV.
Wow, interesting (and pretty lousy that they charge people the same amount for Prime, even if the level of service is vastly different).
This comment is one of the reasons I've said topic has "more mines than an Ukrainian field"..

Statements like "Regardless of truth in that statement.." say much if not everything.

> At least in Germany, most murder victims are still women.

This is objectively not true, for ex. in 2019 of the the 623 murders, 347 were male, 276 were female.

> Super cool, if your fetish is sex robots. But even bringing up "loneliness" and "choice" ... idk, man.

This statement reveals either a profound ignorance, a extreme lack of empathy or both.

I understand if you come here with an axe to grind, but it's not productive in any way and this conversation will change nothing.

Just a side note about "the concept of consensual sexuality", go do some research about the most consumed ( by far ) adult literature by women.

Also, are we back to the 80s "conversation" about video games and their affect on children? quite the progress...
I agree that people buy way more car than they need. However, should poor people and teenagers have to own cars, considering they wouldn't be expected to anywhere else in the world? It's a big expense and part of the underlying problem.
Except that some people born after that date will still acquire them, get addicted, and then what? Prosecute them like drug possession?

It's infantilizing and dumb. Grown adults should be allowed to smoke tobacco if they so wish and smoking rates are already way down due to marketing and alternatives. Noone needs to be prosecuted.
I bought brand new Honda Fit with a backup camera 9 years for 17K. There isn't some magic safety dust that is forcing the entry level prices to rise by nearly $10K.
Feel like a mistake that Apple makes dev opt in/out to iPad app support, same issue on M-series Macs there are iPad app that just don't show up in the app store on Mac because the dev didn't check the box to allow it.

They could perhaps warn that the app isn't tested for the device but otherwise allow all iPad apps on Vision Pro and Mac's.
It's losing billions of dollars.

It's easy to make something people like... if you're willing to burn money.

Mostly agreed, except for:

> We have to drive and it's a right.

WTF? Driving is by definition a privilege. You're maneuvering a 2-ton murder machine.

We got into the current mess because people treat driving as a right - I have to have parking, I have to get there fast, I have to bend everything society to fit my car. And when someone gets caught for a DUI, judges go lenient because they know that taking away their license will obliterate their means to work and live.

> So we are going to need very good public mass transit options, and IMO some kind of vast network of professional drivers that are more affordable than Uber

Sort of. We need denser cities and mixed-use neighborhoods so that people can live close to the goods and services they need. Transit is a feasible problem as evidenced by Europe and Asia. No society has operated under the assumption of a vast network of professional private vehicle drivers (so, disregard bus drivers).

> go "the last mile" (more like 10-50)

That's the problem. We have to stop designing cities like that.
Ultrasonic humidifiers (the ones that generate the fog) generate huge amounts of particulate matter to the point I'd argue they are a health hazard and shouldnt even be sold. If you have any ultrasonic humidifiers replace them with evaporative humidifiers.

I actually discovered this independently when I used my air quality monitor to check the humidity in my house after buying a humidifier and saw PM was in the unhealthy range despite having my very large HEPA filter running in the same room. After some googling I discovered why.

With China's policy being what it currently is, we're going to feel the economic consequences, in the US and in Shenzhen alike :( Good thing if it's going to be only limited to economic consequences.
Not sure how much hay we are talking, but why not buy a smaller used car with a tow hitch and a trailer? Trailers cost a fraction of what you pay in markup on a pickup over a small car and most cars are more than capable of towing a small to mid-sized trailer. Bonus: you can unhitch the trailer and have a way easier time fitting into parking spaces ;-)
Nowadays it's "take the road most LLMed", a sentiment I've read time and time again as some chose not to work with newer libraries because they are not in the ChatGPT training set.
Get a Maverick and a lightweight trailer.
I think about the Soviets gaining control of our "precious bodily fluids" all the time. One of the best comedies ever made.

I also remember hearing that Kurbrick very intentionally put in a ton of sexual metaphors throughout the entire movie - a lot of the scenes and lines (especially the opening one refueling the bomber) change when you view it from that perspective!
Big difference between a company verifying its own product distribution vs law enforcement being tasked with that. Not to mention that the concept of being fined or jailed for this is absolutely ridiculous.
Keep in mind that Helios is really just an implementation detail of the rack; like Hubris[0], it's not something visible to the user or to applications. (The user of the rack provisions VMs.)

I don't think this is true. I live in Canada and the worst costs involved in charging my Tesla at a supercharger are maybe $20 for a full 'tank' but compared with $100+ for a gas car given gas prices here there's no way this is true. Here in BC there's a ton of charging competition too, so you can find far cheaper than superchargers—plenty of places where I live offer free fast charging right now if you look for them.

Also, most of the time you're charging at home. In BC, electricity prices are $0.09/kWh... so dirt cheap.
Yea the I interrupt worked well, would guess (?) this could be deployed for local conversation without need for phone.

I don't speak Swedish. What's the proportion of gang on gang violence? Because I think it's irrelevant for the argument, as the general population isn't much directly affected by it.

In Germany, 2022, there were 114 male and 150 female murder (§ 211 StGB) victims. Mind you, that's all murders, including gang violence.

> It is often true that to make the language simpler you must make its implementation more complex.

True, although it is a last resort thing to do for me, or it has a very good benefits/cost ratio. IOW, where we disagree is the assessment of the worthiness of that specific feature.
Meta's end goal is to have better AI than everyone else, in the medium term that means they want to have the best foundational models. How does this help.

1. They become an attractive place for AI researchers to work, and can bring in better staff.
2. They make it less appealing for startups to enter the space and build large foundation models (Meta would prefer 1,000 startups pop up and play around with other people's models, than 1000 startups popping up and trying to build better foundational models).
3. They put cost pressure on AI as a service providers. When LLAMA exists it's harder for companies to make a profit just selling access to models. Along with 2 this further limits the possibility of startups entering the foundational model space, because the path to monetization/breakeven is more difficult.

Essentially this puts Meta, Google, and OpenAI/Microsoft (Anthropic/Amazon as a number four maybe) as the only real players in the cutting edge foundational model space. Worst case scenario they maintain their place in the current tech hegemony as newcomers are blocked from competing.
Here's what you need to do at minimum to watch NBA games in the US:

- Buy a cable package and make sure it has both ESPN and TNT (different providers will include them in different subscription tiers, so you have to check).

- ESPN and TNT will each only broadcast a select number of primetime games, so for the rest you need NBA league pass. This may be offered as an add-on by your cable provider, or you may need to buy it directly from the NBA's own site (and use a separate app for those games).

- However your local or regional teams' games won't be available on League Pass, so you have to figure out which company has bought local rights for that particular team (e.g. Bally Sports for Knicks games in the NY area) and pay for that channel as well.

- Sometimes that regional network and your cable provider will be unable to strike a deal. If that happens - too bad, you literally cannot watch home games of your local team legally.

The situation in the NFL is even worse.

So yeah, it's no surprise that a large number of fans who would otherwise have paid for games choose to just stream them illegally with one click.

The general standard in the industry is pretty bad. My brother-in-law, who has a CDL, tells me somebody wedges a tractor-trailer into the Tompkins Street bridge in Binghamton about once a month because they ignore the clearance warning signs.

My understanding about Wal-Mart is that trucking for them is a good job because you get to sleep in your own bed. That is, the distribution center is close enough to the store that you can drive for them and live a normal life, it's not like driving trucks all the way across from the US.

Normal trucking companies are always having workers say "take this job and shove it" and then struggling to get their cargo moved, truckers know they are in demand enough they can quit without notice, take a few weeks off, then start up at the next place.
> This is what blows my mind. a 2015 smart phone has more power than everything else.

Not really. The things that regular end-users do on their smartphones are computationally much more intensive than what you deploy on the edge in space. I'll be the first to gripe about the inefficiencies of modern front-end programming, but the software on a Mars rover also just doesn't have that much number-crunching or throwing around ginormous assets to do.

A much more interesting question is to ask what you could do on Mars if you had that compute power. For example, how realistic is it to expand further on autonomous capability.
If you want a bare bones car, you would probably have good luck getting a 2 year old vehicle from a rental fleet. Those tend to be pretty bare bones vehicles.

It was funny, I rented a truck from Home Depot. It was brand new, less than 100 miles on the clock. And, yea, it was lucky to have paint. Automatic transmission, radio, and air conditioner were the top drawer items. Imagine taking 2 knobs, perhaps 1" in diameter, and AM/FM button, and a LED matrix display big enough to display 105.5 and a "stereo" and AM/FM light. That's how big the radio was on this otherwise large dashboard. Vinyl floors, vinyl bench seat, crank windows.

And there's something to it. There's a simplicity having a hot <-> cold slider and a fan speed knob versus arguing with a "climate control" system.

It's quite difficult to find stripped models on the dealer lot. They'd much rather upsell you the sunroof you don't want because "well, that's all we have".

I've never had a real problem ordering a car, just have to be willing to wait for it, but they've all been domestic. 3 of my last 4 cars were ordered to my spec.
Yes. Rather than mandating verification, can we just mandate that there a registry or that websites are legally required to include a particular HTTP header, combined with opt-in infrastructure in place for parents to use?

e.g. You could set up a restricted account on a device with a user birthdate specified. Any requests for websites that return an AGE_REQUIRED header that don’t validate would be rejected.

At least from personal experience, when there was a period where my ISP in the UK started requiring ID verification for porn, I literally ceased to watch it.

Nothing in physics is more basic than something else, as there are equivalent formulations in other quantities. Energy and momentum are as real as matter and motion. Matter is bundles of energy exhibiting inertia and motion is just some transformational relationship between phenomena in different areas of space-time. There is nothing "real" about any of this, only what animals like humans have evolved to model directly in their brains.
It's crazy how in 2017, YC was proposing a social network for kids as a startup idea:

> Social Network for Children: This is a super tough nut to crack. You have to be cool and offer a safe and private environment for kids to communicate with each other while enabling trusted adults to peer in/interact, etc… The company that can build something that is used and useful for all parties can build something of great value throughout a person’s entire life. - Holly Liu, Kabam/Y Combinator

https://www.ycombinator.com/blog/13-startup-ideas

There was very little notion that a social network, no matter how safe, was inherently detrimental to childhood development. Like cigarettes initially, it just seemed to be mostly positive with some niggling annoyances. I wonder what other current YC ideas will be considered horrible 7 years from now.
I think we should not underestimate the strategic talent acquisition value as well. Many top-tier AI engineers may appreciate the openness and choose to join meta, which could be very valuable in the long run.

https://www.theregister.com/2024/01/29/japan_lander_wakes_up... we didn't know this at posting time, but the solar panels weren't damaged, just pointed the wrong way, and when they finally got sunlight again, they were able to properly start the science mission. (Shortened, because it's not designed to survive the lunar night, but lots of neat "first time seen" data.)

Also, I thought I read that at least one of the robots actually communicates directly with earth even if the lander is toast? Honestly I'm a little surprised that our first step at investigating a moon or planet in this century isn't "deploy a microsat version of GPS + TDRSS to simplify the landers" so that the first task of every mission is just "pop a gopro" :-)
I've posted my configuration here, for an 12th gen intel alder lake P, both the kernel .config and the cmdline.

Check the specs or ask GPT ("on many separate on-die cache does the 12th gen intel Alder Lake P i7 1270 has?") and you'll see it's simpler to think about it as having 3 groups of cores with different features because:

- the 1st group has 4 performance cores each with their own L1 and L2: that's where I put the OS, with core 0 as usual and the other in NO_HZ, and the interrupts on power core 4 (here I'm using 0 and 4 to match what coretype reports P-CORE=0..7 that's due to hyperthreading)

- then the next 2 groups have 4 efficiency cores each, sharing the L2 (The L3 is shared all over, so it doesn't matter)

You could try to use my configuration as a base, and if it's not enough, you could try pinning the audio app on the power cores (obviously not 0 and 4 that are used, but like 1-3 and 5-7, which you could make tick if you prefer, you could also use more than 100 HZ depending on your needs)

It will take you some experimentation, but as a fellow audiophile I'd be curious about the results it'd get you!

In Japan, capsule hotels have been stereotypically used by Japanese salarymen who may be too drunk to return home safely, have missed the last train of the day to make a return trip home due to working late hours, or are too embarrassed to face their spouses.

I don't believe you get mouseover/"glanceover" events; you have to define your focus visual behavior declaratively. Rendering of that behavior is then not visible to an app with default entitlements.

>France has set up a food pricing system that will sound foreign to American ears: Consumer goods companies like PepsiCo must negotiate with the country’s grocery stores on prices in the stores during a set period.

This is absolutely price controls, complete with their inevitable result: The non-availability of the good.

As far as I recall it's not a VM. They run in "LX Branded Zones" which does require a Linux userland so that the binaries can find their libraries etc but Zones are more like "better cgroups than cgroups, a decade earlier" than VMs.
Apparently, they can make more money by splitting it up and selling exclusivity for certain games to certain entities. That, or the terms of the contracts were too long and they can't get out of a losing deal yet.

The article (even more the previous article) really misses a reference to matrix exponentials [1]. Everything about X(t) = X^t becomes a bit clearer.

No, buying and sellling cars on CL is a hobby of mine, I'm into old European cars and do it a lot.

I recently bought an always garaged since new, like new looking 100k mile Porsche Boxster with great maintenance records for $8k, in the SF Bay area on Craigslist. It wasn't a bad deal, but not really a steal either- that's about what they go for. It's a reliable car, and my daily commuter now. The other elementary school kids getting dropped off at school in new $100k Teslas think we're crazy rich dropping off my kid in a Porsche. I often buy "nice" cars in the 8-10k range, not the cars with cosmetic issues for super cheap.

Since Volvo was the example I gave, I just did an SF Bay area search for "volvo" under $3k, and it came up with 61 results. A few look terrible, but about a third, including some of the cheaper ones look to be well maintained daily drivers with some cosmetic issues like dents or peeling paint. Personally, I'd recommend the 740 and 940 models, they are crazy cheap, but extremely good cars.

For a deal, look for cars that are well maintained with good maintenance records, but have high mileage and/or cosmetic issues. Also look at car enthusiast forums instead of Craigslist. They often have cars where hobbyists dump a ton of money into them to keep older cars in really top shape.
And on the tour these days, you are more likely to year "Yeah, maybe we shouldn't have moved it".
Awesome progress, and incredible how much you’ve been able to do in the past year!

No, I think you're doing good with that analogy still. My own spitball was half baked anyway. To some extent, conscious consideration of phrases and meanings of things can and do happen, but learning on it as the primary source for comprehension is so painful. And it's what we do in most grammar-heavy courses, and strategies based on memorizing phrases.
We rented a Ford Taurus that had the camera in the rear view mirror.

It works really well. With my camera, I have to sweep from the camera to the rear view mirror, to the door mirrors, as none of them cover completely, so they all have blind spots. With the screen in the mirror, it's actually a better experience IMHO.
