Good question. Maybe the amount of toll reduction should depend on the number of people carried and the weight of the vehicle, encouraging lightweight vehicles that can carry a lot of people. Probably should have a hard cutoff too so e.g. over a certain weight loses the reduction altogether.
> ...lamenting that people with the relevant tech skills to build the weapons of the future were "largely refusing to work with the defense sector".

Getting tech people into defense was easier when they never saw the aftermath of what those weapons did or were largely unaware of what they were actually building (a la Manhattan Project). But when people can watch a live-streamed bombing of a random neighborhood on Twitter, they may have second guesses about assisting in that...
Most large-cap companies are preparing/bracing for a financial crisis. We keep reading about hundreds or thousands of people being let go.

In such cases (remember 2008 and 2012) they will hire the absolutely necessary, and will let go those who a) are unnecessary, and b) are expensive but not needed for the next few years.

If you are buying things you can fit more purchases in a car then taking public transit. You are also less likely to be robbed of your new purchase.

California wants to put in a per mile road charge. Why should I drive to go buy something and pay a mile tax when I can buy it cheaper online, get it delivered, and probably after factoring in higher pricing due to the road tax it will still be cheaper. These sort of things ruin businesses.

Partly, that's because the luggage processing is very slow on international flights at Dulles. You have to go through immigration, which can be time consuming (though the automated ones are better of late). There's no reason you should get to baggage claim ahead of the baggage.

Aside from that, though... I think it's just that it feels like an additional step. You want to get going -- especially if you're the sort of person who moves quickly through airports -- and now you're just waiting as the lounge fills up. After a long international flight, you don't want to be sitting and waiting.

I won't be sorry to see the mobile lounges go. They were a clever idea at the time, but they're hardly "lounges" these days. They're just buses, at a time when you really, really don't want to be taking a bus.
I love it. I've been thinking of generative art in the physical world somewhat along these lines for a while now but haven't actually gotten around to the "physical world" part of these dreams yet.

I'm jealous both of the well-designed system you made, and that you can use it to make things (I have many bare walls I intend to one day fill with generative art I've made).

This book from the early 1960s

https://www.amazon.com/Image-Guide-Pseudo-Events-America/dp/...

made the case that ordinary politicians would be made obsolete by celebrities, the question today is “Why did it take so long?”. In 2016 Trump showed stupendous charisma, energy and ambition. He doesn’t come across the way anymore. I think the age issue weighs more heavily on Biden because a certain voter might want to vote for a candidate that seems more vital or “full of life” and if you are mentally comparing 2024 Biden with 2016 Trump, Biden fails the comparison. If you really watch Trump now he is a grumpy old man who is fighting yesterday’s battles.

>Wow, you're riled up. Even got the "I'm not raging, look I'm brushing it off" smiley emoticons.

Maybe it is, for you. You are probably raging internally about me, but trying to express it in what you, a troll, but a scared one, think is a socially acceptable form, here, even though you are using a throwaway name. That shows your stupidity.

Everyone recognises a troll when they see one.

No, the smiley at the end of that sentence indicates my sneering at you, just as my use of those specific girls' names do, like Cyril and Claude in the case of boys. You know both of those points very well, but are pretending not to, like the fake and loser that you are.

>Either I don't get the reference, or that's just... unhinged.

Yes, that's right, you are unhinged. :)))

>Maybe take a break from the internet for a bit, I'm sorry my comment upset you so much.

No, you are not sorry, because you are a troll, so that's the only thing you are capable of even trying (unsuccessfully) to do. Also, it did not upset me. I was just shitting back on you. I am very good at that.

I was wrong about your address, it's not a rock.

> You don't want the general recapture of externalities. You want specific things to be punished.

I'm not the one levying this toll, I don't super care either way about it. I replied because your suggestions for capturing externalities did not seem to be equivalent or direct those costs to the correct place.

But I think this all depends on what you consider externalities worth charging for. I'm thinking of it as more than the simple dollar cost of building and maintaining roads and parking. There are other costs to dedicating space for those things that cities may want to avoid.
Except the data (a) completely doesn't align with what you're saying and (b) you don't think your car gets broken into, and that those things can't happen to you on the street? You can't get pushed in front of a car? I suggest the burden of proof is on you to show the numbers, and tell us exactly how much riskier it is to take the train. It's not, at all, so it'll be hard to do, but I'm curious how you approach it.

There were 500 carjackings in 2021. 15,000 car thefts last year. Significantly more car break-ins than that.

There's nothing preventing us from the law requiring the same for online verification. It doesn't have to be the case that Facebook or Twitter or whatever store any information other than at some point they did verify your age.

As to the other information, you're more making the case that online tracking should be illegal (which I'd agree with). For the majority of people, they are either unaware or uninformed about how to prevent online tracking to a sufficient degree. If you're signed into your Google and Facebook accounts and then surfing the web, theres a good chance you're getting caught up in cross site tracking. Hell, even if you don't have accounts explicitly, its not like Facebook isn't tracking non-users. In the real world, stalking is illegal.

Also, in my state (Washington), IDs now have barcodes on them. When I buy beer at the store, the clerk doesn't even look at my ID; he/she scans it and thats it. I'd hope the information about what type of beer and how often I buy it isn't being stored somewhere but I'm just hoping.

What?

Are you asking if the framework automatically quantizes/prunes the model on the fly?

Or are you suggesting the LLM itself should realize it's too big to run, and prune/quantize itself? Your references to "intelligent" almost leads me to the conclusion that you think the LLM should prune itself. Not only is this a chicken and egg problem, but LLMs are statistical models, they aren't inherently self bootstraping.

People forget there's decade old servers out there working 24/7.

Anyway there's a Microsoft research paper on silicon which essentially says that failure rates of CPUs increase by mostly two factors:
- cycles. The more calculations the higher the rate of failure

- temperature/power. I will let you guess it by yourself. Even minor slips overvoltages and overclocks can enhance failure rates by magnitude of orders.

Getting back to your comment: I would've chosen a GPU used for mining (if properly cleaned during its life span, far from a given) over years rather than one used by some kid benchmarking and overclocking any day. Because years of crunching calculations did very little damage in comparison to a kid trying to find the overclock limits for few days. Most mining GPUs were used undervolted and underclocked (especially as Ethereum mining was memory rather than core intensive).
Perhaps, instead of building them in deserts, we should be building datacenters in cold places where the ambient temperature inside the datacenter should be kept warmer than outside air.

I dunno, that sounds awfully close to saying, "the victim deserved it" rather than the attacker being at fault for attacking because the victim dressed in a certain way or did not cross the street when the victim saw a potential aggressor.
It's complicated. It's definitely true that we're less mature in our 20s than we are in our 30s. But, also, maturity doesn't just accumulate on us like growth rings. You can easily be a completely immature thirty-something if you don't have the kind of challenging life experiences that cause maturity.

Probably the number one life experience that increases maturity is having kids. If you'd had kids younger, you would have grown up faster too and earned some of the maturity needed to raise them well earlier.

Of course, there's an obvious counter-argument that no one should deliberately have children as a tool for their own person growth. That's fair. But it's also reality than you can never be fully prepared for any situation until you're in it. Sometimes you just have to accept that live is one long improv scene and do your best.

I'm not saying anyone should have kids early, or at all. But I think there's pernicious, unhealthy meme in our culture today that says kids deserve perfect parents and therefore no one should have children until they're perfectly prepared, but that's just an impossible bar.

I don't personally like the tuning on that - it feels a little too rough.

I've already said that I do. So no, I'm making a more specific argument than the one you're trying to have.

'Caught by surprise' is a weird description. Israeli press has repeatedly run stories about how frontline analysts sounding the alarm were ignored.

That could be due to things like sexism, ageism or discrimination against conscripts, or it could be due to the settler organisations having their people in government and a strong wish to resettle the Gaza strip.

Either way, the signals were there, they had been watching the preparations and exercises for a year or so. Even if the resistance groups had kept that secret even a mediocre officer in intelligence or the army should be able to conclude from 'first principles' and what they were doing that there would eventually be a violent response.
