Some years ago, Bay Area city officials visited Bangalore (on our tax dollars) to justify high density housing in Bay Area. They came up with reports and studies and stuff.

Proponents of high density housing should visit and live a few months in dense cities before they start demanding a quality of life they haven’t ever experienced or can ever bear.

The naivety is shocking.

A world of pain awaits Bay Area. Resource scarcity is terrible. You can’t throw money at depleted groundwater or global warming to make it behave. Dense overpopulated cities with failing infrastructure will be a nightmare.
Wired readers are prepared to assume that, as the editor who wrote the headline knows.
I went to a fairly well off public high school for my area and our food was horrific. I'd be curious to hear from anyone who went to a public high school in the US in the last 15 years where the food wasn't horrible, nutrition wise or taste wise.
This is a CISO's nightmare fuel. Shadow IT is a real pain, consisting of systems with no ownership, no control, and possibly a tight link with the inner IT system.

And the majority of this is only exacerbated by the complexity of the decision-making process.

> Cyclists here operate in a gray area a mile wide. They are nominally supposed stop at stop signs and red lights, respect pedestrian right of way, signal turns, and all that stuff. But virtually none do, and I’ve never seen any consequences.

All of the signage and rules were introduced and installed to make driving safe - because, as your anecdote shows, being an idiot on a bike is just not that dangerous.

If cars drove at an average of 15mph, weighed 30kg, and had the all-around vision of a cyclist, then you wouldn't need so many rules for their use either.

>The DriveView program became available to Volkswagen Car-Net subscribers starting with model year 2020. By enrolling in DriveView, Car-Net users may be eligible for discounted rates from some of the top automotive insurance companies in the country. This program can also help Car-Net users monitor their driving by tracking activities like night driving, hard braking, and idle time. These factors all contribute to an overall driving score, which is visible within the Car-Net mobile app and on vw.com/carnet. Through the agreement with CCC, VW Car-Net will leverage the newly released CCC® VIN Connect, which applies driving behavior data at the point-of-quote, making it fast and easy for eligible consumers to connect with potential insurance discounts.

Until all recording and general computing devices become tamper-proof and locked down, people will always be able to take perfect (yes, perfect) recordings with some work or good-enough recordings trivially.

For this, I'd use a usb camera. For those apps that disable screenshots, I'd just take a picture using the phone of the first person next to me.

In my experience, only the ignorant, fools, and lawyers/lawmakers willingly waste resources on this security theater, with the later group using it trick other people or prevent them from exercising their rights (recording media).

Google should remove this misfuture. This future is only enabling abuse at this point.

Devil's advocate here, n=1 is just a data point is rarely the whole story. I would assume, but obviously I could be wrong, that the legit ones actually can check if your info exists in a company before they send a take down request. I have no proof of that but it's probably nearly as good as n=1.

They want their domestic companies to be able to freely sell data, that is the whole point of their long dance to avoid data protection laws.

It's important to separate copyright, right of use and ownership. In Europe, copyrights are often not transferable: you will have forever written that line after all. What is transferable, and implicit or explicit in a work contract, is the right of use. Usually the employer has and exclusive right to use, and usually they won't relinquish it upon your leave.

What's the issue with them buying houses as investments, as long as they're being rented out? If that's the case, their net effect on the housing supply is zero.

Reducing overall meat consumption would be great in a lot of ways, but lab-grown meats are a luxury product for the next few decades and will basically fall off the map if there's any kind of extreme or prolonged global crisis, which will happen sooner or later.

I spent years being vegan and vegetarian and still eat many meals that way, but the idea of purging ranching and meat consumption from the world is technologist hubris and the start to someone's dystopian novel. I mean, maybe it'll happen responsibly some day, but if you're grounded in reality and history, it's a 500 year transition, not a 5 year one.
Ask HN: Why is new Gmail so slow?
Google finally pulled the plug on old (HTML) gmail and forced me to switch to new gmail. It is soooo slow. It literally takes over 5s to load. Before, the HTML version always loaded instantly, like maybe 0.3s or so. Is it because the people who knew how to make fast email clients left, or is it just usual bloat and feature creep? Or are there layers upon layers of abstraction in new gmail?
I’ve acknowledged to a sibling that I rushed that comment out and it requires kind of a tortured argument to justify it as written. The part I got right is about preventing comments citing germane information from getting karma bombed. You’re correct that I botched the landing on that one.

On your substantial point about garage bands needing to sometimes move fast with limited legal infrastructure but arbitrarily resourced actors being held to a higher standard we’re in violent agreement.

The strongest argument (and it’s not one I’d like to have to defend) for law-breaking tech corporations netting out useful is probably Uber?

The situation pre-Uber was a capture cartel nightmare where basic transportation was a non-starter in certain situations/municipalities.

The (admittedly weak) case that they should still be involved in some, “civil disobedience”, is that the medallion people seem to have decided they’re just never going to give up.

If anyone has a “less bad” example of a big powerful company serving the public good I’d be keen to be reminded of it, but this “fair use for me, copyright for thee” seems to go hand-in-glove with stuff that belongs in both civil and criminal court.

No ad-hominems, or rather you are looking at this as a 'liberal' would while I described a scenario in which a 'conservative' looks at the mentioned article and concept. In the "conservative's" opinion what is written there is just as implausible as what is written in the Conservapedia article on the 'truth' of the flood story. Both Wikipedia as well as Conservapedia are biased which is what this was about, not about whether the flood or someone feeling non-binary is true.

>Also the assembly for ikea stuff is usually perfect.. everything aligns to the last millimeter... which again, I can't say for much more expensive furniture pieces.

Probably because the ikea stuff you bought tend to be particleboard and the "expensive furniture pieces" are solid wood. Solid wood tend to wrap/deform more due to moisture than particleboard, which means even if they're drilled with millimeter precision at the factory they end up not aligning when it reaches your house. From personal experience the solid wood furniture I got ikea were definitely not aligned "to the last millimeter".
I feel like Apple is in kind of a different position to the rest of the big tech people and so they can't take generative AI so "lightly". Let me explain.

Millions of users use the iPhone. So many more than any hardware that Google might have. But here's the other caveat, Google, Microsoft and Amazon all have their own huge cloud infrastructure while Apple doesn't. This means if Apple were to make a push for generative AI like the rest of the companies are doing it would cost them a lot. Everyone with an iPhone will want to try it, it would be a huge launch.

So... what's the answer to this? Well, it's pretty obvious. Ship small and efficient models that might have much more limited capabilities but still might be good enough particularly if they're well integrated with the rest of the software. Basically make Siri much smarter and capable.

It's kind of what Google has started to do as well with their 8 pro. There's a couple features that run entirely on-device. It's pretty exciting if Apple manages to get something that feels good running on device; that's the kind of machine learning i'm excited about.

From the point of view of the economics of the creation of videos the difference is enormous.

People produce videos hoping or expecting to be monetized. People who monetize videos (by advertising or sponsoring) do so hoping for the audience to buy some product or service. People who host videos do so expecting to be paid by the monetizing people. That's how the current economic model for ad-supported video works.

A machine learning model is not an economic actor[1]. It's not going to go out and buy a flat wallet or a new set of headphones or whatever else is being advertised on stream. So the current economic model under which that content produced (which is predicated on the assumption that the audience is human) totally falls apart if the audience is an ML model.

Oh yes, we were building and programming Lego Mindstorm robots in university. Also with the goal to go through a simple maze and follow a line. Booring simple everyone thought. But the thirst thing we learned, was to not trust our sensors. My expectation was, if the ultrasonic sensor said, there is 1 m to an obstacle, then there is 1 m of free space. Well, not really. Partly because the sensors were really bad and only worked reliable when the obstacle was in a 90 degree angle, partly it is in the nature of sensors to not be perfect.

I am still excited for robots though, but haven't worked on one in quite a while.

A 12 thousand page application and 2 million pages of supporting documentation is not diligence, it's circus. You can write that sort of documents, but nobody will read all of it and understand it.

If you have any doubt about it, observe that Microsoft wants to use an LLM to generate the application documents.
