Your argument is that Elon Musk knows something we do not about how fast they are improving which is why every single year for a literal decade he has promised a unsupervised self driving system and every single year for that decade he has a produced a unsupervised self driving system that can not even read basic road signs, is 10,000x worse than a human driver, has not even begun validation, and that has killed tens to hundreds of people. Your argument flies in the face of reality. He is demonstrably unable to predict progress by literal factors of thousands and yet makes unequivocal statements that it will be completed in timelines that would be impossible even if the product were literally already done and only validation was required.

And again you go to irrelevant arguments. Are you saying that it is okay to lie aggressively just because you happen to get it right in unrelated fields? Because as we see, he is totally and utterly wrong on his self-driving promises. But that is okay because he lies all the time and sometimes it works out? Who cares about the lying as long as we electrify the auto industry. Oh, should we also overlook all the ridiculous racism in the factories as well? And all those people they killed for no reason are just fertilizer for a glorious future, they should be glad that they could be sacrificed.

At this point I am bored of this thread since I have already made my point and all you do is present the bad faith and irrelevant PR bullet points parroted by the Elon Musk cult. Anybody who is actually reading this thread should see how fallacious and morally bankrupt that position is so I am done here. Have fun.

Sora costs a fortune, like dollars per minute. It's DOA. Also when handpicked demo content shows cats sprouting and losing limbs in a 15 second clip and that's the best they got, not sure anyone has to worry about undetectable fakes, certainly not with the total lack of creativity I've seen on the image side of things.

I believe I already stipulated that companies are greedy and devs are lazy. I hope you don't consider your comment a counterargument.
Note to all OSS contributors/Owners:

Open source is about building something together for everyone's advantage. We throw our skills into the pot, be it coding, documentation, or spreading the word. The coolest part? When someone takes the software and does something incredible with it, something we never thought of! That's the power of open source – it goes way beyond what any one person can achieve.

Here's the thing: contributing to open source isn't about getting something back directly for your work. It's about building something awesome for the greater good. You put your stuff out there, and someone else might end up building a million-dollar company on it. That's not exploitation, that's someone being really good at using the tool we built together.

YOU SHOULD NEVER EXPECT THE BENEFIT FROM THE CONTRIBUTIONS YOU DO TO A OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE BUT INSTEAD EXPECT THE BENEFIT FROM THE SOFTWARE YOU ARE CONTRIBUTING TO.

If you need specific control over how your code is used, open source might not be the best fit. There are permissive licenses that let people modify your work as long as they follow your rules.

The bottom line: open source is about sharing and building something bigger than ourselves. Let's celebrate the ways our contributions empower others, not hold grudges because someone else figured out a killer way to use our work.
Man, I've yet to find the perfect solution for this. Photoprism was really promising at first but the Dev can't seem to handle the stress of trying to make this pay his rent. Sometimes he reacts really pissed if people complain about something missing/broken, and not just if they're unreasonable or something. Just not very clever if that's the same people who are paying you. Pull requests get denied or rejected for the smallest of reasons. yes, it's his project and you should not just merge any crappy code, but it's things like rejecting an API extension by developers of the mobile app so they eventually give up on the app.

The facial recognition is subpar and performs worse the more faces you tagged, but it's always the users fault somehow, instead of accepting that yes even though you put a lot of work and effort into it, the result might be bad.

Then somehow immich comes along and manages to basically become a better photoprism over night because it's somehow just a well managed project accepting a lot of contributions without the code turning into complete shit.

I don't know what to say. I'm still a sponsor of photoprism bot it seems the guy running it is his own worst enemy in some ways.
Whether or not it's more secure is moot as far as Apple's concerned. For them it's about control of the market, not device security.
Simple? No. But the universe is not a simple place.

Definitive explanation? Yes - to a significant degree of definitive. As with all science/engineering-understanding there are always further details but this we've got pretty well down at the macro level humans operate at.

A beautiful site, check out the archives for other explanations and animations of things too.

I'd rather have a bunch of cash. Then I wouldn't need to work and could do want I want. So many things I'd rather do than work, e.g. spend more time with my family, take classes, read more, exercise more, etc.
I think it's disingenuous to call all cryptocurrency a "scam". There are a lot of scams, I won't touch the industry for work or investment, but otherwise it is just betting like any other investment, just a highly volatile one.

When I say pensions, I'm thinking specifically about invested pensions (typical for UK private pensions which is what I'm familiar with). Insurance might cover the pension company failing, but I would assume they don't cover the shares your pension is invested in going down in value.

Are the risks an order of magnitude different? Maybe, depends what's being compared. Is there a difference between day trading crypto and day trading stocks? Probably much less of a difference.

The important thing though is that the dimension of risk is in terms of your gains and losses on the assets – that's what people understand, that's what can be modelled etc. Most people are not considering their banking infrastructure to be part of the risk, and most of the time it isn't, because it's illegal to mess with peoples money like FTX did.

Most services, you can run on these small low power devices, especially if you’re the only user. As you said, if you want to build something that requires a more power hungry devices, you power it on and turn it off after. There’s no need to run a local datacenter.
I fail to see what is so wrong with the advice given. My wife has a good friend (a childhood neighbor, a woman) who's having trouble finding a man to be with and the advice given by my mother-in-law and her mother was to move to a place with more men than women. Various suggestions included Alaska, the Oil Fields of ND (she's a teacher, which I hear are in demand in these places), etc.

It seems to me that for some reason, any dating advice that might benefit men is automatically assumed to be misogynistic. Is this advice any different than telling a man to go somewhere with lots of women of the kind he'd want to marry? What's so wrong with it.

From a prior discussion [0] my concern is some of the weird external contracting going on, which hopefully will change soon:

> So apparently using this thing requires people to sign up and interview through ID.me, a private company with some controversy around facial recognition stuff and a non-governmental domain in Montenegro.

> There's a certain flavor of very banal insanity here, as the US government (A) tries to outsource a core competency of identifying taxpayers in its jurisdiction and (B) promotes a domain name that should instead be a bad-answer in anti-phishing security training.

Yes it does. Bluesky uses the AtProtocol.
I do it all the time. The most important things are:

1. Be prepared for weather - appropriate clothing, a good hat, an outdoor umbrella. Mostly to help manage temperature and glare

2. Shift stand / sit / movement positions frequently - I have a bistro table, a couch, a place to stand and work (really a ledge that's the right height for standing)

3. Distractions / noise pollution - I'm out in my backyard near woods, which is nice natural sounds, but not distracting from a social / noise pollution standpoint. When there's construction I go indoors.
I would be happy if iMessage threads could be exported and saved.

Yeah, Amazon make their own App Store for Android that I assume nobody uses outside of Fire devices because it’s terrible. They still make their apps available on the Google Play store, so this theoretical concern seems like it will remain theoretical.

My understanding is that used to be how most text messaging was done pre-smartphone in Japan.

Currently the only similar thing I'm aware of is https://delta.chat/en/, though I believe it does all of its networking over email, rather than only using it as a fallback.

I wonder what the pitfalls of using email this way are; it seems like a great way to get a free backend and growth-hack a chat app, so there must be some reason it's not more common.
Don't tall into that trap of thinking.

Many years ago I knew an ex-microsoft engineer. Microsoft had poor interoperability with something, and I speculated that engineers in microsoft didn't know what 3rd parties were doing and accidentally broke things.

He told me, "don't be naive - microsoft would have meetings saying 'how can we own this?'"

I had a family dinner last week, in the Pacific North West. One topic that came up was evil government regulations that required heat pumps, with the follow-up claim being that they do not work below -5C.

I cannot express the amount of shit I took for stating, un-movingly, that heat pumps work below -5C. I was shown Google search results, webpages, and was hit with professional experience from my brother, the red seal gas-fitter. I don't expect a "That's too bad" - I already know I'm right, and the US DoE agrees with me [0].

I think your comment is wrong. People don't search to find correct information, they Google to confirm pre-concieved biases and "verify" what they're already certain of. And I think computer-generated websites and answer boxes will only exacerbate the issue.

Your mom already chooses to use Apple for this reason, so presumably would also not use a third-party App Store or sideloaded apps, so she could still benefit from the Apple security blanket even while theoretically having choice.

RCS does not support any end to end encryption. Yes you can send end to end encrypted messages over it, same as over SMS, but it's not part of the protocol. I don't hope RCS is the future, I don't want my ISP or any intermediate party to read my text messages, thank you.

Bored and pissed off at successful people is a rough way to live life, buddy. I feel for you. I know hating on Elon is the popular thing to be doing these days, but you don't have to demonize folks you don't agree with. I happen to appreciate the work each of his companies are doing. I appreciate the level of engineering knowledge apparent in discussions with him, which in my experience is unusual at the management level. No one else out there is building Starship - Jeff Bezos and NASA included. And my appreciation for all these things stems from a multidisciplinary understandin of the complexity of the engineering and organizational and economic efforts involved in making a Mars shot not only viable but profitable and sustainable. Elon has absolutely done things I don't agree with - everyone has - that just doesn't prevent me from appreciating the things he invests his time and effort and resources into doing, when he doesn't need to.

I think it's fair to say that autopilot hasn't worked out as quickly as Musk had hoped. But I also find myself forced in the same breath to acknowledge that Tesla has made a great deal of progress, maybe more than any other car company, at solving a problem I've paid attention to since the DARPA grand challenge days.

I think it's wonderful to have big dreams as a society, and to reach for them, and accomplish them. It's inspiring. Maybe you should take notes. Thanks for expressing yourself.

Because no engineer building application software wants to specify their infra down to the component level. Infra is awesome when it is Somebody Else's Problem. Docker compose was popular, Heroku was popular, Vercel is popular. Infra is good whenever there are reasonable defaults, good ergonomics, and requires no maintenance. Kubernetes is a DIY cloud solution. It's great if you are trying to build AWS/GCP/Azure, not so great if you want to deploy your app for the cheapest cost possible while not being constrained by the limitations of Vercel/Heroku.

The worst is clouds like fly.io that believe their value prop comes from stuff like "edge computing" while their main offering is half baked, under documented, and unreliable. People want better, cheaper managed infrastructure. Good managed infra should be small overhead on top of the raw compute cost. Nobody complains about LAMP PHP deployments because it was good value and offered what people wanted.

Of course, the study of how living cells function is "hard". But that doesn't mean it has to be learnt without joy. We tend to explore things we enjoy. A lot of the writer's essays [1] are about finding some aspect of a topic intriguing and following that rabbit hole.

My own research centered on one subset of functions within E. coli. I was lucky that I found a carefully engineered subset of plasmids and adaptions of E.coli, that could be mathematically modelled [2] [3]. I didn't have to know the whole functioning of E. coli. I didn't have to use mathematics beyond algebra. That is, no calculus was needed. The key task was to put together the quantitative research of about half a dozen labs. Okay, I had a "mountain" of articles to read. And it took 5 years of effort. But it was only doable, because I was modelling a carefully constrained subset of cellular functions.

> They don't seem to care about the spam, or they're completely inept

They don't care, at least that is the conclusion I've reached after repeatedly reporting content farms. I think they drive engagement anyway so it's good for business at the end of day. I did not do a thorough study like you apparently did, but anecdotally from the popular subreddits, I've spent enough time on Reddit (unfortunately) to recognize rehashed content that's reposted periodically to 'mine' karma. At some point, Reddit will be just a bunch of spam bots talking to each other and upvoting each other's content while humans will be spectators, or their content will be buried. Either way, this will be great for Reddit as it's good for business (ad impressions). It will be bad for Google as they're training their AIs based off spam and they will notice..
