I'm a mechanical engineering student graduating in 2 months. 3 internships: battery materials science, aerospace (startup), and software (NASA Ames). I'm a generalist engineer who would love to work on something early-stage and fast paced that makes me use multiple different skill areas (mechanical, electrical, software, business, etc). I'm especially fascinated by ML (especially if there's something physical involved) and biotech.
How does that preclude intelligence? A brain is just some neurons sending electrical pulses, can that be intelligence? Could a computer running a physics simulation of a brain generate intelligence?
Y'all do understand that people move to the suburbs voluntarily, right? That they aren't forced to move there at gunpoint or something like that?

Have you ever considered that your "collective anthill" housing ideas might actually, you know, suck ass?

And that the basic idea has wound up sucking ass every single time it's been put into practice?

Whether it's called "The Projects" or "Housing Estates" or "Collective Worker Housing Blocks", it just plain sucks,

Essentially no one (very likely not even you, if it came down to it) would, or ever has, moved into one of these human zoos voluntarily.
Looks scary but horizontal sections of via ferratas are usually the safest part, because you’ll come tight to your leashes right away if you slip.

It’s the vertical sections, where you could free fall and pick up speed before your leash catches on the next anchor point, which can cause the worst injuries.

> As much as I hate paying so much a month for YouTube of all things, screen-off background play is a paid feature on iPhone

I know you're on iPhone which limits your choices but I'll mention this here anyway, could be useful to someone. Firefox has an addon[1] to fix that. It's very simple and basically just disables the events that tells the page you've switched tabs, and for Youtube hits sends a random keyboard event every N seconds.

I've used it for years and it's great. I can't imagine paying Google of all companies for a feature like that.

Incredibly bold assertion that a Meta-backed VR headset won't be just as silo'd off as a Google-backed one. Google is 100% distrustworthy for sure, but is Meta really any better at all?
You see this in trees that have grown up in forest conditions. They sprout in a patch of sunlight, but then they eventually fill the space and can't grow as quickly anymore.

In trees that are grown in more open conditions with plentiful sunlight, water, and nutrients, the growth rings are more even because there is nothing holding back their growth and forcing them to slow down.
OpenAI being a nonprofit is like Anthony Levandowski’s "Way of the Future" being a 501(c) (3) religious nonprofit. All of which is lifted from Stranger in a Strange Land and L. Ron Hubbard's Scientology.

They are not in the conflict flow anymore. It's been trained out of their system for quite some time. It leads to some naive assumptions about how the world works.

Even the events around the current conflict seem not to have shaken the society, from what I witness. The Green parties wishes on the topic of heat pumps or people coming to their country whose skin color is not white have more revolutionary potential than Russians right around the corner or people blowing up their gas pipelines.

They are too busy with themselves and stuff like that is just embarrassing. It only serves as filling material for your everyday complaining orgy every single morning at work. Stuff a healthy German citizen leaves behind them at Feierabend.
> …unless you believe that the world can change and people’s opinions and decisions should change based on changing contexts and evolving understandings.

What I believe doesn't matter. As an adult, if you set up contracts and structures based on principles which you bind yourself to, that's your decision. If you then convince people to join or support you based on those principles, you shouldn't be surprised if you get into trouble once you "change your opinion" and no longer fulfill your obligations.

> unfathomably wealthy

It's all just relative.

I've mislaid thousands. That's years of income in many countries.

You don't need to be that wealthy before a days wages for you is a months wages for someone poor in many countries.

Indecently wealthy is relative: people look at their own incomes and often compare upwards but rarely seem to compare downwards.
I think SemVer is a good thing. What do you mean by "we're stuck" with it?
I would generally double whatever your expectations are for the initial feature development. Tests are essentially a second implementation from a different angle running in parallel, hoping the results match. Every feature change means changing 2 systems now. You save a bit of subsequent time with easier debugging when other features break tests, but that's somewhat eaten up by maintaining a system twice the size.

There are reasons many MVP developers and small teams whose focus is more on rapid feature implementation than large team coordination or code stability forego writing tests. It doesn't make sense in all circumstances. Generally, more complex, less grokable, more large-team-oriented or public library code is when you need testing.

> I don't know what I will do for cars when the battery craps out after 10 years.

Not really how batteries tend to degrade.

Consider how your cellphone battery degrades. It's not that you one day wake up with a phone that doesn't charge at all, instead the charge simply doesn't last as long.

When people talk about the cycle life of batteries, they are talking about the time it takes for battery capacity to go from 100% to 70%. This is also taken from a generally super pessimistic viewpoint (Charging from 0% to 100% == 1 cycle). Pessimistic because lithium ion batteries are somewhat damaged at very low and very high charges.

If you get an EV, keep the charge percentage between 40 and 80 (which is usually more than enough for daily use) the battery can last a LOT longer. And that's just talking about NMC batteries.

LFP lithium batteries have ~5 to 10x the cyclelife of NMC batteries.

I'm currently driving a 2018 tesla model 3 with 120,000 miles. It's got 95% it's original battery capacity. The actual maintenance I've done has been nothing compared to what I've had to do with ICE vehicles. Basically just new tires and windshield wiper fluid.

> More and more I think the whole EV concept is a way to make cars that don't last as long but cost just as much if not more, so that automakers can extract more money from their customers

EVs may have a higher upfront cost, but they aren't making automakers more money. The opposite is true.

Now, if I'm cynical, I believe the place automakers will try and shorten the life of EVs is with the software, not the hardware. I've no clue how much longer my EV will get OTA updates.

High finance even fairly recently (80s) was based on handshakes and trust. The value of contracts tied to LIBOR grew by an order of magnitude or two while the definition of LIBOR wasn’t adjusted.

Why wasn’t it fixed? Because replacing it would require an enormous amount of coordination and there was no clear evidence that it was broken. When that changed it finally got replaced by SOFR.

I suspect we'd see a bunch of change. A difference of when we moved 6 to 5 days is in those times most business were closed on the weekends + generally people were more tied to one company for longer term. Plus 2 days off is very different than 3 in terms of alternate work opportunity.

From that a likely issue is a steep increase in people having second jobs so they work a 4 day job and a second 2/3 day job.

I suspect the 4 day week will work well for people with good salaries and market power, but encourage working class to 'work the weekend' in alternate jobs resulting in lower downtime.

For this I'd actually like a 4 day week but with it either more restricted business opening on Sunday type thing or significant wage multiples over 3 day weekends to encourage time off vs the 24/7 economy.

> Can you show it's actually encrypted?

When someone asks a question like this, they're not literally asking you to show them it.

They just want an expert to confirm it they could show it, so they can check off their box for due diligence.

Congratulations. You were the expert.
I'll pile on since I find your "sudden" confusion on this comment chain to be a disgusting and shameful way to try and engage conversations with other people.

The top post tries to identify the results as reducing the hours of 5 days of work into 4, the response to that was highlighting that the goal wasn't to make up for missing hours but to try and measure the efficacy of needing that fifth day's 'worth' of hours. You then selectively choose how you interprete the topic to be either:

1) questioning why they couldn't use their results of 5 days VS 4 days to effectively say "if you're effective in 4, then why not 5?

then when questioned on how this doesn't make sense in the context of the article, feign confusion on the distinction and ignore the results of the article to flip flop to your other point:

2) questioning the articles results by asking others outside of the study to personally prove to you what the measure of "success" is since you see modern technology built with this framework (phones) as a reason why it shouldn't change

despite this being a nonsequitor that isn't a point anyone has shown interest in discussing. Then when asked why you went from being confused on why they couldn't use the results showing their effectiveness to try and enforce another "effective" day, to then denying the results and saying that it's already effective and to ask others to personally prove to you why it isn't effective (instead of reading the article).

Do you have any answer yet?
Looked up the City Hall East sale, because I was curious.

Sold through the Atlanta Development Authority, in 2011, for $27M, with a portion of the paid as the development achieves milestones.

And gets a $600,000/yr expense off the city's books.

I walked through the entire empty building during the sale... and could definitely say there needed to be a LOT of renovation (including structural) before it was usable.

Also, apparently holes between 12' ceiling floors were acceptable safety practices when it was built. No OSHA!

As someone who works with Java all the time I'm the first to admit that something like TypeToken in GSON or comparable things in other libraries is not the greatest of things. I've also more than once wished I could to if(xy instanceof List<Something>), which you cannot do in Java. Can you work around it? Sure. Do I understand why Java has it? Yes. But "minor" .. no, it's not so minor in my experience.
> having to create a shortcut based on which browser would be ridiculous

Depends how you look at it, Chromecast is only available from Chrome. If I want a specific page to open in Chrome because I use it mainly to cast videos should I have to switch my main browser to Chrome?

Probably not how it works today and my initial comment didn't imply always open in Firefox even if not default browser, but thinking about it maybe that's how it should work, or the option to choose should be available?
Noise isolation is mainly about adding mass. Thermal insulation is mainly about creating a continuous skin and filling the void with something as close to a vacuum as you can get.
I wholeheartedly agree. I used to visit my grandpa's village every year (somewhere in europe) surrounded by beautiful mountains. The nature was accessible by everyone - warranted they'd do a 2 hour drive on rough road, get a hiking map and hike to the top. You'd also have to pack lunch and coffee. Now a new road is build, several hotels including a luxury resort with pools, coffee shops, tourist traps selling "traditional" "local" products etc. It's just terrible. Before, you'd "buy" your way there with effort, now you just pay, and you take your laziness with you all the way to the mountain top where you buy your $10 coffee and instagram snaps. If you want to sidestep the "nature" part of nature just go to a city park.

> If you try to ban everything associated with Nazis, or that was performed by a Nazi, you may accidentally block things that you didn't want to.

No, what I'm saying is you can't ban everything associated with Nazis and nothing else in a LLM, because neural nets don't work like that and you're simply unable to ban something without influencing all the results. Which is worse than just banning info about Wernher von Braun.

I may be wrong, considering my knowledge of neural networks is limited, but so far I got one downvote and no explanation...

We do prosecute humans who misuse weapons. The problem with AI is that the potential for damage is hard to even gauge; potentially an extinction event, so we have to take more precautions than just prosecuting after the fact.

The problem with JPEG XL is that it is written in an unsafe language and has already had several memory safety vulnerabilities found in it.

Image codecs are used in a wide range of attacker-controlled scenarios and need to be completely safe.

I know Rust advocates sound like a broken record, but this is the poster child for a library that should never have been even started in C++ in the first place.

It’s absolute insanity that we write codecs — pure functions — in an unsafe language that has a compiler that defaults to “anything goes” as an optimisation technique.

"WIIFM".

I volunteered at an animal shelter that was not no-kill, because of sheer demand, sadly.

Of new volunteers, they ask "What's in it for you?"

Inevitably, "I get to help animals find new homes, etc."

However they'd say "No - that's what you'll do here. But what do you get out of it?"

And they wanted selfish answers. "I feel better about myself", whatever.

Because what they'd found is when things were a struggle, it was the "what's in it for me" that often pushed people to keep helping and volunteering, rather than (solely) "the mission".
