Maybe we can finally inch closer to having a city in the US that doesn't bow down to car owners and actually cares about the health of the people that live there?

Maybe even carless unless absolutely necessary (disability related) and emergency services.

Even in Urban areas there seems to be a vocal minority that don't want to give up their cars and any inconvenience to them is attacked. In Boston we are shutting down some streets in the summer and car drivers love to complain about how much worse driving is. Which it being worse to drive is a positive to me, as someone who actually lives here and does not own a car.
Thanks vslira!
Upvote; People complain about a congestion tax -- or traffic -- or bad roads. But they don't think about policy when when a car costs ~30% of a median salary, when insurance is "required", expensive (and part is because some choose not to afford insurance while driving a car). Beyond that car / driving enforcement is a drain on police preventing more dangerous crime, a top entry point of harassment and escalation by police, a drain on District Attorneys and the courts from enforcing other crime.
And yet, if you want to lose weight, it’s almost always (outside of medical conditions) as simple as getting into a caloric deficit that matches the deficit necessary to induce weight loss.

If you have a 500cal deficit per day, you lose a pound of weight (fat) per week. It’s literally that simple.

There’s some auto regulation of caloric burn rate, but it’s not some impossible problem to solve.

I don't remember the US directly doing much of anything in ex-Yu, other than some sorties, though they did a lot indirectly by recognizing the new states and providing aid in various forms including armaments and other military supplies and training to make sure the stronger neighbors don't get too aggressive. (Which is way understating what happened in Bosnia, but still).
Yes, from an economic standpoint that's the primary reason. Boeing primarily does spaceflight contracts on a "cost-plus" basis (i.e. their profit is a fixed %, such as 10%, of their their expenses), where they make more money if they take longer and use more expensive components. SpaceX primarily or maybe even entirely does their contracts on a "fixed price" basis, where they make more money by doing things faster and with cheaper components.

In a rationally-run corporation (of which real ones are merely an approximation), these profit incentives will trickle down into things like the culture of the team and the decision-making criteria used and decision processes used.

The cost-plus contract was popularized by the US military in WW2 because it allows a way for the military to sign a contract without the scope of work being known - bypassing most or all of the contract negotiation phase, and saving months or a year. The military can say "just make it happen, I don't care how, just do it, and I'll pay you your costs + 10%". https://quizlet.com/11795259/251-flash-cards/

However, in WW2, the cost-plus defense contractors still worked very fast, despite the lack of a profit incentive for fast work, because they were motivated by a survival incentive (if they didn't work fast enough, they'd lose the war and possibly be killed).
It's great to see other people are seeing the problem too. Definitely validates the space. We're a bit different in that we see Patchwork's home page as the overview of everything going on in your team both on and off platform.

No offense, but this article is MASSIVE BS.

There are issues with innovation in the DoD and DHS, but a lot of this is offloaded to private sector vendors anyhow.

I notice how the article didn't mention any of the companies I personally know doing stuff in the space, nor actually sourced from members of the VC, Business, or Defense community.

The fact that the author took Palantir's marketing at face value is proof enough - the CIA let their contract with Palantir lapse a couple years ago (and I think they only even bought it because of their stake in In-Q-Tel), and they haven't had great success selling to the Fed.

I actually work in this space btw.

The bigger stumbling block is procurement.

Software Procurement by Federal standards is relatively straightforward so a Series E+ startup can make it if they spend around $7-10M and 1-1.5 years on a dedicated roadmap for FedRamp and FIPS compliance.

Once you step out of software, procurement becomes paperwork hell. Throw in the paperwork hell from Grantmakers like the DoD and DoE, and you end up with a quasi-Soviet procurement system.
Ironically, most of these compliance and regulatory checks were added for good intentions - primarily to minimize corruption and graft, yet it basically clogged up the entire system, and dissuades startups and innovators from working directly with the Defense community.

Some projects like DIUx and and In-Q-Tel are trying to change that, but it's too little too late, and our defense base is entirely dependent on firms like Microsoft, Cisco, Crowdstrike, Zscaler, etc acquiring promising startups to evangelize their innovations internally.

Fundamentally, this is why I dislike the New America/Khan/Chopra vision of anti-trust. It doesn't actually help innovation from a federal standpoint, as small companies and startups have no reason to work with the Fed given the amount of red tape that exists.

If the same effort was put to harmonizing and simplifying procurement across the Federal Government, you could directly make demands on competition.

This is what China does, and is a major reason their MIC was able to grow leaps and bounds in just 20 years.
TV presenters often use them; presumably the clear plastic tube are supposed to be harder to see.
Their strategic vision seems to be using attacks against them as a pretense for more land grabs, which in the future, promotes more attacks against them, which provides a fig leaf for more land grabs.

The end game, as Likud's party manifesto makes very clear, and their PM helpfully pointed out two weeks ago is a single state between the Mediterranean and the Jordan river, with no Palestinian sovereignty. They'll likely accomplish this goal in a generation or two (And no, it won't happen by enfranchising the natives. Israel's government is looking for lebensraum, not building a partnership with its subjects.)

It doesn't really need any strategic vision past that. It's a nuclear power, none of its neighbors can credibly threaten it, its main enemies are the people trying to live within its occupation zones.

I feel like generally speaking, particularly in Urban areas, being progressive also comes with advocating for public transit over cars for most situations.

Whenever I travel in a group through Shiphol, at least one piece of luggage gets missing every time. Yes, they manage to get it back to you eventually (although I did lose an expensive pair of running shoes there), but the amount of hoops you have to jump through at times is complete madness. After ten years of going over Shiphol 1-2 per year, I'm now at a point where I just try to find a route around it.

Adopting or rejecting a policy based on it being "European" or "American" rather than by its actual projected effects and merits seems like weird decisionmaking to me. American exceptionalism, as well as its inverse, are usually pretty poor guidance for anything.

When to trust your instincts /intuition (eg. when few facts are known, there are no critical central deciding factors, but it's important to take a decision and move forward) and when to stop trusting your instincts and reflect a little (eg someone is trying to rush you into making a buying decision).

When it's likely that your biased, and try to work around that (highly related to above). (Eg. When don't make critical decisions when you're sleep deprived)

Yes, I'm very jealous of what you get, "up north". Some companies in the UK are generous - I hear Google (or at least DeepMind) provides 3 months - but some dads in my antenatal class only got a single week off. And some of the mums went back to work after 6 months, putting the baby in nursery at that age.
I would be absolutely stunned if anyone, ever, has described OpenAPI as "beloved". It does its job, but that's about the best you can say about it.
1. Leasing is like a car purchase but with mandatory financing where the true underlying interest rate can legally be obfuscated behind cryptic language that you can't understand. Quick -- is a "money factor" of 0.0074 an attractive interest rate?

2. Leasing is like a car purchase but with a mandatory trade-in (you are going to be trading back the car that you are leasing, at some point in the future when you return your lease). Unlike a normal trade-in, where you have your car as-is and you can ask around for its value, in a leasing situation you have to predict what the value of your car will be in five years. The dealers do this professionally. You do not. Guess who wins?

3. Leasing means it's not really your car. This is an issue most frequently for people who drive a large number of miles. Going over your mileage limit on a lease is very expensive.

4. If your circumstances change such that you need to exit your loan obligations by selling your car before fully paying off your contract, it's easier to sell your way out of a purchase / finance situation than a leasing situation. Ending your lease early is not an option, as car leases (unlike apartment leases) typically carry a heavy early cancellation penalty.

5. In places like the US, where leasing and purchasing are both possible, this enables a unique type of scam: a "sale" where the buyer thinks he's getting a purchase but the paperwork actually says it's a lease. So you're paying full price for the car and you don't get to keep the car in the end.

It’s less about notebooks, but more about SDLC practices. Notebooks may encourage writing throwaway code, but if you split code correctly, then you can do unit testing, write modular code, etc. And ability to use “arbitrary files” as Python packages exists for quite a while, so you can get best of both worlds - quick iteration, plus ability to package your code as a wheel and distribute

P.S. here is a simple example of unit testing: https://github.com/alexott/databricks-nutter-repos-demo - I wrote it more than three years ago.
I think Linux-ers need to start promoting non-debian family OSes.

For some reason Debian-family marketing of 'stable' really caught on, despite things like Fedora and SUSE being often more stable.

I hope in the future we can keep people away from Debian-family for daily desktops. Its such a terrible experience and it kept me going back to windows. Now that I'm off Debian-family distros, it genuinely feels like I'm using an OS that is higher quality than Windows. Its something of an amazing feeling and kind of gross I used something like Windows/Ubuntu for so long.

That makes me wonder if the cartel is priming the pump for a price increase. Perhaps there will be another "great maple syrup heist" resulting in a shortage and skyrocketing price.
Sure, but it's still unhelpful to say that overeating is what makes you gain weight when other people eating the same amount and with the same amount of activity are not gaining weight, especially when eating less could cause you to gain more weight until you hit a threshold.

I don't think many people disagree with "If you starve yourself enough your body will eventually start burning fat", they disagree that it's as simple as "anyone gaining weight is necessarily doing it to themselves by eating more than other people".

And starving yourself isn't easy. It's one of the top like five things your body is designed not to let you do. So how on earth is it helpful when people are talking about factors that can influence your appetite and can literally influence the number of calories your body chooses to extract from the exact same food to say "just eat less lol"?

I might add that overwhelming research suggests that social pressure on people's weight causes people to gain weight. So even if you were right, bringing it up would be counterproductive.
It's the context menu key spot. It's often co-opted these days (especially on laptops) but if you look at the new Surface Laptop 6 or Surface Pro 10 keyboard the context menu key of the Surface Laptop 5 or prior SP Type Covers has been replaced by the copilot key. It even looks like the context menu key now on the Fn layer. I wouldn't be surprised if MS says to partners it HAS to be there next to alt.

You can clearly see it's position completely replacing the old context menu key in the image of the new boldset SP type cover in this recent blogpost: https://blogs.windows.com/devices/2024/03/21/introducing-sur...

I'm exactly the same. I use Arch on my work PC and home PC, because I have my setup heavily personalized. But when I want to spin up a VM or install something Arch-adjacent without worrying about a bunch of manual configuration, Endeavour is my new goto since I discovered it last year. Manjaro feels like too much of its own thing now. Plus the many debacles it's had.
That's oft-repeated - rich in protein. When they have 10% of the protein of meat. How is that 'rich'? Something like 'nearly no protein, just detectable' would be more honest.

Sure, you eat bushels, you get as much protein as say a big mac. Not gonna go there; almost nobody is gonna sacrifice their juicy burger for a quart of spongy fungi. Give up already.
For something as valuable as a car, they definitely can. You still agreed to pay them.

However, you can decide to take the whole thing to court and see what a judge thinks about it. In a way, they screwed up and that may affect the contract.

The page could use some information about security, privacy, data storage, data retention, use, etc. Might be fun to try but I can't upload any real data there without cleansing it from any identifying information. That could be a barrier to use and testing for users.
Apples to apples means comparing based off of the objectively observable traits of the cars in question: seating and storage capacity, etc. The price of the cars is more or less arbitrary. Comparing cars on price alone makes no sense. A porsche 911 is multiple times the cost of a minivan, does that mean its utility is that many times higher than a minivan for a family of 4?

AI is useful as today. I, for example, I'm finishing a project where the company I work for wanted to extract some data from bills and documentation. The thing is, in my later company I did a project with OCR and deep learning and it was quite useful. But this time, since we don't really need to tabulate the data, just extract some info here and there, what we did is to attach an LLM after the OCR extraction with an API. So right now we are getting a big improvement and flexible queries of information we are required to extract from bills and documentation, with an easy solution and not that heavy or costly.

And I'm taking into notes that usually what we are talking about is llms as AI. But in the other hand, my last project for this company was an energy demand and allocation time series with auto-training in case it detects a huge chunk of error in the last statistics stracted from the model compared to the reality. This project was complex but it impacted the company positively with millions of euros in earnings.

So, yeah. Statistics and programming works. Usually when we talk we do refere llms as AI, but there are other situations where just "classic" data science is useful and more than enough.

Aren't you the one being obtuse though? Why pretend and do all he hand wringing you're doing in the comments about the definition when you can just ask the LLM what it understands the use of the term to mean in the sentence?

> In this context, "castrated" is used metaphorically to describe how the capabilities or functionalities of the AI systems mentioned (in this case, Claude and Gemini) are perceived as being limited or restricted, especially in comparison to ChatGPT. The comment suggests that these systems, to varying degrees, are less able or willing to directly respond to inquiries, possibly because of built-in safeguards or policies designed to prevent the provision of harmful information or the facilitation of certain types of requests. The term "castrated" here conveys a sense of being made less powerful or effective, particularly in delivering direct answers to queries. This metaphorical use is intended to emphasize the speaker's view that the restrictions imposed on these AI systems significantly reduce their utility or effectiveness in fulfilling the user's needs or expectations.
