The German auto industry has been operating in crisis mode for decades.

The Asians have had them technically beat for a very long time in terms of mass market autos. They only survive as a mostly niche "luxury" brand in the USA.

I saw an interview with the head of Mercedes well over a deacde ago where he admitted as much. By his estimate, the Asians had a $10K cost advantege over them. His goal was to narrow this to 5K because "luxury" buyers woukd pay that much just for the "prestige".

Expensive to buy and maintain, they are among the least effective options to meet your everyday transportation needs. And their sales figures reflect as much.

>> Being hungry does not cause you to eat

> Yes, it does.

Nearly 1:10 people in the world are chronically hungry. Being hungry has no impact on their ability to eat. Likewise, those with access to food eat when not hungry and (believe it or not) may not eat when hungry.

I really think you’re missing the point, though. We have a host of signals in our body that can misfire due to various conditions and people cope with them. Hunger is no different and many of us have spent months ignoring it to our own benefit (and some to their own peril).

Caloric intake in excess of expense causes weight gain. What factors lead to that excess do not.

There are certainly those with a variety of issues that make caloric deficit difficult. Fortunately, that’s not most people.

Yep I've tried mouth tape and it's pretty good, especially when combined with side sleeping.

Though I have this paranoia that mouth tape will increase my philtrum length, which I know is a vain worry. Another solution is one of those incline pillows - just a 20% gradient should allow me to back sleep, which I prefer.

Post-surgery I had my jaws wired shut and they had this chin strap that was like an ace bandage that around my head and chin. I could replicate that with one of those mouth guard combined with a chin strap, but I read somewhere that this would eventually pull the upper jaw down towards the airway as well (since maxillary plates are not fixed.)
That API is one the main reasons companies are not as keen on jumping on the bandwagon. They don't want to have OpenAI to have access to their corporate data. But then, there are options of running models locally..

Fascinating quote I found on his wikipedia page:

"It must have been late 1941 or early 1942. Jews were required to wear the Star of David and to obey a 6 p.m. curfew. I had gone to play with a Christian friend and had stayed too late. I turned my brown sweater inside out to walk the few blocks home. As I was walking down an empty street, I saw a German soldier approaching. He was wearing the black uniform that I had been told to fear more than others – the one worn by specially recruited SS soldiers. As I came closer to him, trying to walk fast, I noticed that he was looking at me intently. Then he beckoned me over, picked me up, and hugged me. I was terrified that he would notice the star inside my sweater. He was speaking to me with great emotion, in German. When he put me down, he opened his wallet, showed me a picture of a boy, and gave me some money. I went home more certain than ever that my mother was right: people were endlessly complicated and interesting."

Yes. We did not try to radically transform Japanese society down to the level of the family. Same in Germany. Both of those countries also had a fairly cohesive sense of nationhood without massive ethnic divisions. We just had to deprogram the hyper-aggressive militarism, but the rest we could pretty much leave alone.

Your point about rebuilding Afghanistan really being building Afghanistan is very true. I remember hearing a soldier in Afghanistan talking about how surprised he was at the number of people he met in Afghanistan that had never even heard of Afghanistan.
He married one of the daughters --- two different family branches here.
The point is not the motion sickness but the eventual solipsism, isolation and panopticon of a world where everyone will "not even see you", maybe even block you visually and auditorially, and everything you see or do i scanned by "the machine".

The point of the more than 700 million user restriction. Is so Amazon, Google cloud or Microsoft Azure. Can not setup an offering where they host and sell access to the model without an agreement with them.

> yet new airframes do get certified

Last one was the 737 Max in 2017. It’s a derivative. The last truly new frames were the 787 in 2011 and A380 in 2006. Both focussed on subsystems, propulsion and materials for their novelty; only one has been a commercial success.

One successful (two attempted) new airframes in over two decades is extraordinarily slower than the pre-consolidation frequency. It is also notable that neither attempted to introduce a new air frame that directly competes with the other’s; Airbus and Boeing trade market segments. There is zero head-to-head competition.

Modern planes are a marvel of engineering. And newer planes are more comfortable. That doesn’t change that we’re stuck in a local optimum due to a cessation of risk taking.
It's the flip side that is quite possible to be false. You can certainly eat more calories than your body requires and yet not gain weight. Your gut could absorb less, so you excrete otherwise-digestible carbs. You could have a parasite.

Further, you could be burning more calories without doing more exercise or otherwise doing anything "useful" with the energy -- i.e. having a higher basal metabolic rate. These calories can be burned doing all sorts of things that the person has no control over: you could have a higher core body temperature, you could be spending more energy on cellular repair and other cellular processes, you could be synthesizing more hormones, you could be spending more energy metabolizing foods, etc etc.

These latter causes are obviously on the "energy out" side of the equation, but they do not relate to things under our control. Further, they can change with age, stress, and (relevant to TFA) sleep.

So a body that has been coasting by eating 2200 calories per day and never gaining a pound could suddenly change and start putting on weight, even though the person's diet and activities haven't changed.

The point is that two people could eat the exact same calories, and do the exact same exercise, and one of them go up in weight and the other go down. The "calories in vs calories out" idea usually simplistically makes people think this couldn't be true, because "calories out" is simplistically taken as "exercise."

The reason I shared my story is that so many people just quote "calories in vs calories out" as if both sides of the equation were perfectly under control, and those people are also often like me: they find it easy to keep the pounds off (because of a high metabolic rate) and so they look down on people who have trouble shedding weight and figure that those people could live just like them. But those heavier people could well be eating less and doing more exercise than them.
Are you alleging that Nancy Pelosi invested in Databricks, a private company without a fluctuating share price, because she learned that they would soon release a small, fairly middling LLM that probably won't move the needle in any meaningful way?
A low speed marine diesel like you'll find in a large container ship is not your granddaddy's 6V71. They are complicated, yet simple. They are indeed direct drive (possibly through a reduction gear) and they do indeed operate both in forward and in reverse. See e.g. [1].

To the extent that the technologies called "AI" are useful, they won't be summoned by a dedicated button on a keyboard, and they won't come because companies desperate for relevance shove it in every corner of the user experience, even where it doesn't belong, long before the technology is actually ready. The trend I'm bemoaning is pasting "AI" on everything and pretending it adds value because it's "AI".

Using copilot in both vsc and vs2022 . I see vast differences but usually down to the language I'm working with.

I've noticed that in visual studio (IDE) copilot gives better answers if I physically view an interface or implementation, then I get "okay" results. But it stuggles with larger more abstract projects.

Vscode is better for sure, but usually I'm working in smaller projects or interpreted languages.

The vim copilot extension is probably the better bit again I'm not working with dotnet in vim.

I'm unconvinced that the lack of success in Afghanistan was not primarily driven by the shift of focus to the naked war of aggression in Iraq in 2003, and the subsequent mismanagement of the occupation of Iraq, starting with radical de-Baathification and other rejections of lessons learned in previous (e.g., post-WWII) occupations, both because of the message that war sent to peopke everywhere, including in Afghanistan, about the US and because of long diversion of resources and focus it produced. (And, obviously, the US involvement in Syria was largely a product of that.)

Afghanistan was never going to be easy to succeed at something more than a punitive mission against al-Qaeda, but I think that the fundamental root of much later failure including the ultimate failure in Afghanistan is the 2003 Iraq War.

I wonder what are the real costs when compared to stated "gift card". Probably the biggest secret AWS has.

Since there is air in the numbers, I wonder how much it increases artificial value of the relevant parties. Is Amazon getting more leverage over the company with less real money?
Yes, that's very radical. How will the person who asked the top question know that they're supposed to validate their ideas before they build, for example? And how do you validate your ideas? And how do you figure out what to build and position yourself against competition, etc?

These are complicated things. People who succeed without learning from others do so mostly via timing and luck.

To those with knowledge, it's nothing special. To the rest, it's a daunting black box of pain and frustration.

I agree with your last paragraph generally, but I absolutely do not agree that it applies to this situation - there’s nothing unethical about getting financing for a big purchase, then paying it off early with cash. You don’t have any responsibility to explain why you’re seeking financing when you could technically afford to buy it outright - that’s none of their business.

Edit - nevermind, you explain your reasoning in other comments, though I still can’t empathize with it.

> So if you have an allergy or a diet, you can mention that when you're seated. The host can make something that suits you, and if they aren't able, you can just have the drinks.

If I invited someone over for dinner and went through the effort to prepare a nice meal for them, and they waited until they were seated at the table to tell me that the food I've just put on their plate is something they can't eat or they will go into anaphylaxis, I would be pretty ticked off. "Oh, don't worry, I ate ahead of time" would make me feel even more ticked off, because I wouldn't have gone through the effort and expense of preparing a nice meal just to have a bunch of uneaten food sitting on the table while we have a social meeting.

The purpose of giving the host a heads up about food allergies is to avoid the host putting effort into preparing a meal that the guest can't eat. How is it a better outcome for the guest to remain unfed, food to go to waste, and the host to have this information sprung on them at the last moment?

You're saying that this kind of gentle heads up is an indication of narcissism, but I think it's exactly the opposite. It's a way of helping to ensure that things go according to plan.

Both of you are correct - there is a duopoly because of the complexity, and the duopoly has no real incentive to change, given that the current local optimum seems to be working for the foreseeable future. There is no pressure to innovate, and a strong one to keep the status quo.

I didn't work directly under Japanese management, only indirectly or as a b2b partner. I was never told directly to work longer hours as a result, there was some pressure from non japanese intermediaries.

There are also some unspoken expectations and etiquette rules that should be observed, which might create an environment heavier on work side.

Most of my understanding of the work culture comes from people I talked to who worked directly under Japanese management, and it can get tough, I never heard of someone directly being confronted, but heard about more subtle ways to ensure performance and obedience.

Its only my guess living and working in Japan this would be on completely another level.

This is a multifaceted issue, involving the duopoly of commercial airline manufacturers, strict regulation, and massive subsidies.

It costs Boeing 10s of billions of dollars and usually around a decade to design an aircraft from a clean sheet, with very little incentive for truly disruptive innovation. Developing and testing a wholly new design like this would probably take double the time and more than double the cost. When your assembly, all testing, designs, control systems, and pilots have been optimized "wings on a tube" shape for 70+ years, I'd imagine it's difficult to pivot the core design that drastically.

I'm hoping to see some of the government subsidies shifted towards more competition with Boeing's recent failures, but lobbying is powerful, so we'll see.
