>After the export ban, China demonstrating a process node advancement that shocked the world. So the GPU story doesn't support your position particularly well.

I'm not sure why you're conflating process technology with GPUs, but if you want to go there, sure. If anyone was surprised by China announcing they had the understanding of how to do 7nm, they haven't been paying attention. China has been openly and actively poaching TSMC engineers for nearly a decade now.

Announcing you can create a 7nm chip is a VERY, VERY different thing than producing those chips at scale. The most ambitious estimates put it at a 50% yield, and the reality is with China's disinformation engine, it's probably closer to 20%. They will not be catching up in process technology anytime soon.

>Every wealthy nation & individual on Earth has abundant access to AI's "ingredients" -- compute, data, and algorithms from the '80s. The resource controls aren't really comparable to nuclear weapons. Moreover, banning nukes won't also potentially delay cures for disease, unlock fusion, throw material science innovation into overdrive, and other incredible developments. That's because you're comparing a general tool to one exclusively proliferated for mass slaughter. It's just...not a remotely appropriate comparison.

Except they don't? Every nation on earth doesn't have access to the technology to scale compute to the levels needed to make meaningful advances in AI. To say otherwise shows an ignorance of the market. There are a handful of nations capable, at best. Just like there are a handful of nations that have any hope of producing a nuclear weapon.
Erosion of education makes basic scientific knowledge very trendy
"The bigger lesson to take from the above: don't build to last too long"

In the world of the Rich Third World, houses are almost always torn down after they're bought. It's actually pretty bad, because those houses are always built to last...but they only really last for about 8-15 years on average. Then it's almost always easier to rip and replace again instead of renovate, because they're built with concrete.

I revised my numbers a bit by filtering out the junk and focusing only on the code that most likely contributes to the runtime components (where the security risks lie). E.g.: Excluded the samples, test suites, doco, changelogs, etc... and kept mostly just the C/C++ and assembly code.

I also recompressed all of the libraries with identical settings to make the numbers more consistent.
Some of my most terrifying moments in life have been in cars on the road. I've had a few dicey moments on public transit, which I use constantly, but nothing as truly life-threatening as the near misses I've experienced on the freeway.
We built an app with it -- https://blog.dagworks.io/p/building-a-lightweight-experiment. You can see the code here https://github.com/DAGWorks-Inc/hamilton/blob/main/hamilton/....

Usually we've been prototyping with streamlit, but found that at times to be clunky. FastUI still has rough edges, but we made it work for our lightweight app. Note: we generally found it snappier than streamlit.

How many of them really wanted it? To me when Uber added tipping it seemed to come out of the blue. (And it was stupid and bad for everyone except possibly Uber, because the equilibrium total fare in a marketplace with reputation tracking is not going to be raised by turning part of it into a tip, it just adds uncertainty and friction.)
European and Asian nations tend to have perfectly usable mass transit (including developing countries). Sure there are some us cases for cars, but for daily commute its not needed.

To add to it mass transit is generally heavuly subsidized that means that less well off people can get to work/school at low costs. It reduces poverty and income inequality.
You left out an explanation of why it has negative value. This makes your own comment worthless.
Given:

> The advent of highly effective GLP-1 based obesity drugs like Wegovy and Zepbound have stoked excitement among many doctors as a new way to address rising obesity rates

> “These drugs are definitely an important tool, but they should not be seen as a solution to the problem,” Francesco Branca, director of nutrition and food safety at the World Health Organization, said in a press briefing discussing the study. “The solution still is in the transformation of food systems and the environment, such that obesity can be prevented.”

I bet we'll see evidence that giving them to parents (or parents-to-be) reduces obesity and obesity risk in the subsequent generations by altering the food system in the home and environment.

Maybe we'll need them every 3rd or 4th generation to reset things.

Maybe one day, when the last human driver is banned, I’ll be able to ride my bike without fear.
I don't consider driving in traffic to be a pinnacle of human experience worthy of preservation. I certainly have concerns about AI automating away some jobs, but I thought stop-and-go city driving was something everyone could agree on as being worthwhile to eliminate.

I'm surprised there's such a staunch defense.
I hate the comparisons to Europe, because they're apples to oranges. I've been in European cities and I totally agree, it's a joy to be able to take public transit and/or walk everywhere. But most European cities were built long before the car.

Older US cities (Boston, NY) have great public transit/walking options, though I agree deferred maintenance is taking its toll. But if you look at cities designed around the car, for many of them it's just prohibitively expensive to add things like light rail or subways now. Austin TX will be adding more light rail, but the price tag keeps exploding and the route keeps getting shorter.

I'd be curious if anyone could point to any city that was built around the car where they subsequently made substantial public transit improvements that carry more than, say, 10% of commuters.
There is an epidemic aspect to it as well. From food deserts to unhealthy food advertising, there are plenty of external reasons for the obesity epidemic.
Book review: Private equity
I've thought of something along those lines that there should be something like a universal basic space to live. In the countryside it could be land and in cities the right to own a flat for somewhere around the construction cost. You wouldn't even need (1) and (2) as long as the government aquired and allocated sufficient land for the scheme.
Does it matter?

Noticing a price increase isn't "struggling." The median American could double their food budget and would be just fine.

Your analysis is all wonky. The % of average income and % increase in food price is completely irrelevant - food is a fixed cost and the median American has many times the cost of food left over in disposable income.
Now that you put it that way, it's probably tough to get in an accident with a waymo without being found at fault. How often does a car stop suddenly and unexpectedly, get rear ended, and get found at fault?

This fancy a vehicle? Maybe not, though I don't see why they wouldn't maintain a premium brand of some sort.

More importantly: the fleet is owned and maintained by Waymo. So they can achieve a higher degree of consistency. It is not the fanciness I value, it is the consistency.

Put another way: I can get a fancy car and a good driver with Uber Black. I would rate my waymo experience slightly above Uber Black.

Well FastAPI was originally based on pydantic 1.x, which was extremely slow (so slow in fact that they removed the benchmarks from the website).

I am the author of typedload, a similar library written in pure python.

Mostly for fun I started to see how much I could improve performances, benchmarking against other libraries.

I was very surprised to find out that pydantic2, despite the rewrite in rust, wasn't overwhelmingly faster… in fact it is still slower than my pure python library in some cases.

But, I guess having "fast" in the name sounds good!

https://ltworf.github.io/typedload/performance.html (I re-run them every time I release).
Yes, just a bit jargon-y. "Middle East and North Africa" is one region for the purposes of the study, so it's proper that it has an "and" both in the middle and before it. And I haven't seen "underweight" used as a condition noun the same way "obesity" (rather than an adjective), but that tracks too, and doesn't seem to be too uncommon. Both of those constructions are also used in the linked Lancet paper.

Swapping out terms, a similar sentence could be "Lilliput and Blefuscu are also experiencing much more cooties than vampirism, the study said." and that sounds entirely reasonable to me.
I appreciate your perspective on this. Thank you and well said.
Up front, I have zero knowledge of Diablo Canyon, so this is a general comment...

If you've got a site with a certain risk of disaster and you extend a plant's useful life past the initial design lifetime, the risks may no longer be within initial expectations (e.g. X% chance of seeing a large earthquake in plant lifespan).

So, while the reactor may still be fine, the reactor + location may no longer be fine.

Some things that might affect the risk of extending the lifespan of the reactor:

1) A large earthquake may be overdue.

2) Sea level rise may put it at risk of flooding.

How much money have competitors been spending to keep up, reproducing the technology that was supposed to be released to the public benefiting everyone. All of that could conceivably be claimed as damages. Money they should not have needed to spend.

Even all of the money spent to access ChatGPT. Because, if OpenAI had been releasing their tech to the public, the public would not have had to pay OpenAI to use it.

Or the value of OpenAI-for-profit itself could be considered damages in a class action. Because it gained that value because of technology withheld from the public, rather than releasing it and allowing the public to build the for-profit businesses around the tech.

Lots of avenues for Musk and others' lawyers to get their teeth into, especially if this initial law suit can demonstrate the fraud.

Great. I am happy you are satisfied with the quality of service you're given by human drivers. I would hope you would be equally happy with the increased enjoyment I experience from an automated driving experience.

We will have to agree to disagree on whether it's a beneficial change to society to disrupt human drivers with autonomous drivers. Personally, I found the argument that artists shouldn't be disrupted by AI much more defensible than saying drivers shouldn't be disrupted. It always seemed easy to look at previously disrupted jobs, like people getting up at 4AM to act as manual alarm clocks via peashooters on windows, and say yes, we should replace this simple act of labor with technology.
Gotta love it. We're building robots to replace people in jobs while we build other robots to make people disappear quickly. Worldwide low unemployment rates are here to stay.
I think the "improvement" is that it ought to be cheaper. Whether it actually is remains to be seen.

Some people, like his mother, can't drive anymore. They might be encouraged to stay in the homes they're used to, instead of moving to assisted living.

As has been demonstrated, removing PWAs wasn't actually an option. Apple tried it and backed down without a fight.

The options are to comply with the DMA, not comply with the DMA and be fined increasing amounts of money until they start complying, or to leave the EU market. (And let's be clear, Apple will rather compromise their products and users to the CCP than leave China. They're not leaving the EU either.)

When the sales can't happen at all without doing the compliance work, the compliance work really will have a massive ROI.

> So they get caught and apple has no solution for 3rd parties to fix it so no other engines get approved for PWAs.

Huh? No. The other browser engines would obviously implement PWAs safely, not unsafely, even if Apple doesn't provide them with a special API for ensuring safety. The idea that the other browser vendors are inherently malicious is absurd.
I am certainly not in love with how the FastAPI team handles comparisons or development. Hiding superior benchmarks. Immediately closing Github issues (they refile as Discussions to keep the issue count low). So on and so forth.
