> your teeth to basically get worse over time

Just like most of your other body parts. I'm 68, and I'd guess that every major bone in my body has been bruised at some time or other, some (like my shins and knees) multiple times in the same place. I have evidence on X-rays of hairline rib fractures that I have no memory of acquiring. One of my breasts has been removed due to cancer. As a kid I was exposed to harsh mediterranean sunshine; on every visit to my GP, he checks my moles. I've twice had polyps removed from my colon.

I'm rather surprised that I can still walk, smell, talk, hear and see.

Things are getting worse (send chocolate).
I've given your comment quite a lot of thought over the last few days. Maybe too much.

At first I was inclined to agree with you that this is an appeal to authority, with the caveat that such appeals do not always constitute a fallacy. For example, if we both agreed that such a Gisin is an expert whose opinion on this topic can be trusted, then his statements are valid evidence for one way or another.

But then I realised that the very claim being challenged is whether Gisin knows what he's talking about. Floating his credentials and experience feels like a valid contribution. For what it's worth, back in my PhD days I read several of his papers and saw a couple of his talks at conferences, and can confirm he's one of the leading researchers in the field and is particularly thoughtful and careful in his work.

I'm pretty pessimistic on storage these days, but I will admit that after running some back of the envelope numbers I'm actually a lot more optimistic about chemical batteries then any of the physical storage schemes.

Pumped hydro has a recharge problem - if your reservoir is much larger then your pump, you can't recharge the system in the time of cheapest energy (daytime when solar is active) before you'll be discharging again. The "roughly 4 hours" output of batteries lines up a lot better with this.

It's still too expensive, but when you plug that into the fact batteries can go in anywhere there's space, and they look a lot more attractive and definitely way faster to build. If Sodium-Ion batteries can be made to work and hit the right price point, things could change pretty dramatically though that's pinning hope on an unproven future technology.

There are other benefits of self driving cars.

For example average utilization of a self driving car would be at least an order of magnitude greater than non-self driving one. Think about how much time a car spends parked and waiting to be used.

With greater utilization we should have a lower absolute number of vehicles that are replaced more frequently. This would lead to less polluting and better maintained vehicles since they would all be fleet owned/operated in this scenario.

Made me look up Simonyi who designed Excel. Obscure people behind software that keeps the world turning.

The blog post mentions an open source license but I can’t immediately see it in the post or the repo (perhaps I’m just missing it). Any idea what license this is released under?
Looks like the repo (localllm) only contains a smallish Python project to do the model downloading. When it comes to serving the model, it calls out a Python module llama_cpp.server, which is not part of the repo, likely something inside the Docker image. A bit disappointing given how the article sounds.
Think less "I'm working 60 hours a week for my ignorant overlord and now I'm keen to do more!" and more "I'm really struggling to find purpose and enjoy the job that I have enjoyed in the past; now I'm feeling more content with general life and I'm positive about getting back on track at work."
I get what you’re saying but as a cyclist totally disagree. The problem I see at least while I was in SF, cyclists generally believed since they were riding a bike, they had the right of way in all scenarios. I still have vivid memories of almost smoking a cyclist while on my motorcycle only for them to be mad at me when I tried to explain to them that zipping in between lines of cars will get them run over. If you are to mingle bicycle son the same roads as cars, they need to follow the same rules.

For tabloids, yes, but the same happens with any other video of an accident. So it is not a reason not to be released.
The mechanical equipment and supporting plant equipment to turn that 1000kg of lead into a power storage system is not free, does not last forever, and experiences mechanical wear and tear - in fact it likely needs constant maintenance on a cycle of weeks to months.

Whereas those Lead-Acid batteries will do their thing for 10 years, then can be recycled into new Lead-Acid batteries and do it again. The support equipment is all solid-state electronics (though still about a 20 year reasonable lifespan).
The computer was needed anyway to get sensor fusion and reasoning about environment around, so it's not something that was "added" or "more expensive".

Also, their original solution did sensor fusion with LIDAR, but the vendor find out and blew a gasket - because the LIDAR sensors weren't designed for safety-critical operation and to my understanding became a potential liability for the maker if they continued to supply them for incorrect use knowingly.
Common misconception but the US does not pay for its navy by itself. That is done by the world using a ever overprinted currency for reserve and trade. The US can print aka lend that money to set a navy to work. The world pays for its police.

Outside areas with dedicated parking enforcement patrols, do police actually issue tickets for parking within distance of thing?

I ask because, here in Indianapolis, on my heavily-trafficked mixed residential/commercial street, drivers routinely ignore both painted curbs and painted parallel parking space markers for days at a time and seem to be rarely, if ever, ticketed for doing so.
But of course it's not the same thing.

The spec for a language is harder to define than the compiler for it. The spec for Lisp is written in Lisp. And it's about half a page of Lisp code. And it's executable, which is not usually true with specs.

This is why reading the Lisp spec feels like reading "the Maxwell's equations of software" (to quote Alan Kay). It's a whole other fundamental model of computation, every bit as fundamental as a Turing machine, but much more practical. Nobody builds serious computing engines out of pure Turing machines, but people do it all the time with McCarthy machines.
Russia will always "be open" to negotiations if only to create cracks in the western support for Ukraine. But what are they offering?

Last I head Putin was only prepared to negotiate based on the understanding that all occupied territories would stay under Russian control.

Ukraine should have handled this better and also signaling being open for negotiations. On the condition of returning all territories that are within their internationally recognized borders.

Ah yes, those meticulously maintained taxi and rental car fleets.

"They didn't get shot" is maybe a little funnier when it's told in the shared context of a whole series of these anecdotes differing only in detail; the one I've heard involves Stalin demanding "who sneezed?" to a petrified delegation, only to say "bless you" after the guilty party has quickly been denounced by his comrades. I wouldn't be surprised if there are versions of these involving Tsars.
There's a trillion other mini PCs for less from companies like Beelink and minisforum. And once you start equipping the Mac with a decent amount of RAM and storage the value quickly evaporates.

For $400 you get a brand new system with 4 times the RAM, twice the storage. And it can be further upgraded down the line to more RAM and storage if you need it.

I'm surprised the book Sovereign Individual is not mentioned even once in this article.

The whole book engages in the same "projecting trends into the future", on the same topic. But in a more detailed way.

In fact, one of the early points it makes is that the Roman Empire, when the last emperor gave way to a tribe lord that invaded Rome, officially when the empire fell, everyone pretended it didn't.

Like the emperor is out, he's living somewhere else, but yeah the empire keeps going, nothing to see here.

Only years later, decades if I recall correctly, did the implications of the fall of the empire truly reached culture.

The shell was untouched, but the insides were rot already.

Cannot really be called flops either. And the Mandalorian is highly succesful as well. And probably some other movies, I don't know, I do not follow. My point is, that I share the criticism of how bad Star Wars became under Disney, I dropped out, after they seriously introduced yet another death star. But commercially they were highly succesful.

Hopefully this isn’t the case for others, but after paying to upgrade my Google One subscription, I landed at a 404 at https://gemini.google.com/u/2/ (because my /u/0/ is one of my Google Workspace accounts). Curious to try it when it works.

It’s interesting to note that it’s listed as applying to Gmail, Docs, etc., so this sounds like an account-wide update to Advanced.
"Full NAT" doesn't even make sense. Do you mean symmetric NAT or something in that vein?

>which on most routers equals disabling IPv6

Turning on NAT on IPv4 certainly does not entail turning off IPv6. Just _what_ exactly are you sprouting? It's not the first time you have made beginner mistakes like this.
Apologies, I was making a deeper point, which is that search is going through a period of disruption and the endgame will be something more like ChatGPT and less like a lost of 10 links.

To address your concern, yes [low quality content] will still exist but it won't look at all like today's stuff. Too soon to tell.

In periods like these, the British saying applies to users: keep calm and carry on. The American saying: bitchin' ain't switchin'.
> Probably the most novel factor would be that sensor disruption is more deniable than many other threats to drivers.

There's another aspect to it: sure you could disrupt traffic with all the means you cited, but you had to be there physically, and you'd run the very likely risk of being caught and beaten up by angry drivers.

With invisible and electronic means like this, all it takes is to put a box with the jamming kit and a small battery near the road and you can trigger it when you're far, and you could even trigger it in many big roads at the same time and see the chaos you caused.

Why would you do that? For the same reason a few people send false bomb alerts for the police to evacuate places, and others SWAT streamers. Out of pure naughtiness.

Check out Urgent Operational Requirements [0] in Op HERRICK (UK name for ops in Afghanistan). These led to multiple entirely new platforms, systems and capabilities being developed and deployed in weeks and months, e.g. physical and electronic countermeasures for the rapidly evolving IED threat. The downside is increased logistics / supply-chain burden because you have additional ad-hoc support contracts and staff, in and out of theatre.

> humans are capable of major autonomy

Actually, this is the main reason why drones will be needing more and more compute; to ensure that they can be as autonomous as possible.

Whether they will be able to reach or surpass humans in this regard is still disputed by some, especially those who think that the human brain is powered by some kind of non-material soul.

> human solders act as a political tripwire

This really only applies before a war starts. Once it has started, you want to have the best equipment you can within your budget.

Now there are other political reasons why autonomous drones may be resisted, primarily that they can be seen as very scary or even evil by onlookers. But the same could be seen by current remotely piloted drones, but that hasn't stopped the US from frequently using them for assassinations at least since Obama's period.

Once drones become able to operate without a human to control them remotely, they will. Especially if jamming limits their ability to communicate.

Finally!

Every time I need to run a virtual machine, I choose libvirt because it's more performant and easy to deal with than Virtualbox (no kernel module, etc.), but the GUI choices are pretty terrible. The "best" libvirt GUI is virt-manager and it's very, very buggy and lacking features (i.e. doesn't play nice with HiDPI screens, no way of configuring IPv6, etc.)

Many times I have caved and chosen VirtualBox simply because at least it feels nice to use, even if not as performant as libvirt/kvm. Not anymore!
It doesn't matter. People will eat it up.
