If your point is that generalizations aren't universals, I agree. That's why I said "tends to". I further agree that markets like more than one thing, and you can see that with things like "growth stocks", "meme stocks", and "pump and dumps".

Amazon is particularly notable for how long and how energetically they resisted investor pushes to take short-term gains. They were famous for it, or perhaps notorious. So although it's a counterexample to my point, it's also great proof of it.

Opinions differ on Uber, but personally I think of it (and WeWork) as pump and dumps. After Facebook and Google ended up with quasi-monopolies, investors were hungry for another "to the moon" technology stock. I should say that was true of both VCs and retail investors. The VCs saw an opportunity to make things that looked vaguely Google-shaped, which they did, trying to sell them off to the general public before anybody caught on. They succeeded with Uber and failed with WeWork. But in both cases, it's still VCs favoring short-term cash extraction over long-term value creation.

From the article you linked:

"White collar criminals only get sentenced close to the statutory maximum when (1) they are only convicted of one or two counts with very low statutory maximum (say, one count of a crime with a five-year statutory maximum, as part of a plea bargain), or (2) cases involving truly extraordinary amounts of money."

Unlike the Trump case the article discusses, this case involves a truly extraordinary amount of money. Prosecutors did indeed ask for half that, but the court gave only half of the (already lenient) request due to facts about the person who was convicted.

Note that the Madoff case involved a similar amount of money and he indeed did get the big sentence. I suspect that was because he was likely to die in jail given any reasonable sentence, so better to make a show of it. In this case, SBF got a more lenient treatment for a similar offense because he is younger (note that the judge did not believe he has any remorse and still gave a lighter sentence).

> Nuclear would be good but would make the ships a huge piracy/terrorism target. You'd need military escorts for them.

Dunno if this is actually true. There's plenty of stuff going around every day in unguarded ships that have significantly more accessible terror-potential than anything you can put together with a small nuclear reactor.

If recent events in the Panama Canal or Baltimore isn't convincing enough of the disruption a single misplaced cargo ship can cause, it's hard to argue against Tianjin[1] and Beirut[2]. Like those disasters, mind bogglingly destructive as they were, were caused by incompetence and negligence. It's hard to imagine what someone with malicious intent could cook up with nearly 3000 tons of ammonium nitrate.

It would be very odd for large mammals to be the only things in universe exhibiting self awareness. Usually when something exists in nature, it's everywhere - gravity, radiation, nuclear forces. Self awareness is probably just another one of these things. Rock is self aware of being a rock, sun is self aware of being a star, human is self aware of being a human, humanity as a whole is self aware of being humanity.

Now, obviously experiences of being a star are totally different from experiences of being a human and one can not will them/itself into being the other. Things are happening to each according to laws of physics and self awareness is just along for the ride.
I am a strong believer that consciousness has a purpose. It is related to self-replication because consciousness necessitates evolution to come about, and evolution necessitates consciousness to keep the organism alive. They need each other. Evolution is the outer process, consciousness the inner process.

Celestial bodies lack the reason & means. Not to mention the slowness of light at cosmic distance. Any consciousness would need to be within a small light cone to operate at normal speeds.

Clustertruck (https://www.clustertruck.com/) is a regional entity somewhere between a restaurant and a ghost-kitchen. Delivery-only and a wide variety of meals, but they own their own app and don't list elsewhere. They check off the bullet points you mentioned.

The food is good but expensive, especially with delivery fees and tips. They've had to close a few locations over the years, so it's not a slam dunk in every city and I assume the margins are still slim.
That's the thing; I think a lot of the violent offenders who steal money in prison are often just desperate people. They never had a lot of money, so they mug someone and steal the wallet and car of someone that they think is better off with the hope of actually having money. It's still wrong, I don't support it, but it's at least a much more sympathetic action.

People like Sam Bankman Fried are much harder for me to feel bad over. He was never struggling to pay rent or having to worry about not being able to afford groceries next month. He was already well off, and just decided to gamble with other (poorer) people's money because he wanted more money.

This means, to me, that this was a more cold and calculated thing, not something out of desperation or frustration, just greed. Robbing someone that you think is rich is bad. Robbing someone you think is poor is something supervillains do. If he's already been able to square that circle once, I see no reason that he wouldn't be able to do it again.

Forgive me for not crying over how he might actually have to pay consequences for his actions.

But the core of your post seemed to be an instance of how all the cosmologists are wrong because their description of the universe as it relates to the big bang is wrong because the big bang is an explosion and explosions don't expand uniformly. Am I misunderstanding your point?

Is it really aspirational if you do it? We take 4-5 1600 mile round trip road trips per year. It's 14hrs door to door and completable in 1 day. SUV makes it possible comfortably in a way a model 3 would not.

I played with it some more and I have to agree. For actual voice _cloning_, XTTS2 sounds much, much closer to the original speaker. But the resulting output is also much more unpredictable and sometimes downright glitchy compared to OpenVoice. XTTS2 also tries to "act out" the implied emotion/tone/pitch/cadence in the input text, for better or worse.

But my use case is just to have a nice-sounding local TTS engine, and current text-to-phoneme conversion quirks aside, OpenVoice seems promising. It's fast, too.

The amount of batteries you need to generate the forces involved is astronomical.

In my experience the AI

- uses bad code practices because there is more bad code on the internet then good

- hallucinates APIs , so it tells you to use X but X does not exist in the library/framework you asked for

- suggests wrong solution

- if your language is not precise it gives you the answer to the wrong thing, like you see the answer and you realize it did not understand you

In my experience if your developers are 20% more productive you do not fire 20% of them because there always is a big backlog of features or bugs to be handled.

A Tiago.ev is 14" shorter than a Chevy Bolt, a car lots of Americans already think is too small for their needs. The Bolt has over 100mi more range, which most Americans also think is too short.

If GM made the Bolt a foot shorter with half the range, they probably would be able to hit a little over $10k while having American union workers assembling it. But they would have sold even fewer.

I may be wrong, but I think large cargo ships usually go fairly long distances between docking, so they would still need a lot of battery- batteries that may be better deployed elsewhere for the time being. What might work, maybe, is to have re-battery-ing ships that could be deployed along the route to meet the cargo ships and replace the batteries while en route. I have no idea if this is feasible... but it sounds like it might be worth exploring if I had an investor/partner with the billions it would take to develop...

It's not just worth justifying investment. You can make just about anything worth the investment as measured by a 90-day window of fiscal reporting. H!tmen were a wildly profitable venture for La Cosa Nostra.

It's about not justifying the societal risk.

Thank you for such informative reply which I find very useful for me.

>The notion that neural networks are going to wipe out programmers in the next year or two (or three, or four) is inane. I can barely get ChatGPT 4 to write some simple (WORKING) functions I want, never mind gather specifications, ask for clarifications on those specifications, design a proper architecture for the project with unit testing and so on. This will surely improve in the next few years, but not by much in the next few years at least.

This is my experience and thoughts too. In most cases I can write code faster than write a prompt to generate same code and after check it.

I use LLMs and I find them useful but do not need to use them often.
> There's very few legitimate use cases for not using a RDBMS as a main data store

I don't think that's true—all the old cases that were legitimate before are still legitimate. The price of both persistent storage and memory has simply come way down to the point where many computational workloads are viable under vertically scalable databases again. I suspect the pendulum will swing the other way one day yet again (and of course there is a rich ecosystem of ways to query horizontally, if not transactionally, with SQL that will likely temper this swing even further).

Then it's not open source software. Either your code can be viewed, used, modified, and redistributed by everyone, or it isn't.

Most households do not do this. The average car goes like 13,000mi a year, you're doing more than that 4-5 times? You're 4-5x beyond the average.

EDIT: sorry, somehow saw an extra zero in there.
Funnily enough, .NET's NativeAOT took the opposite route and various tables have dehydrated form in the binary which will be hydrated at startup (with the size wins observed up to 30-35% depending on publish contents)

What's interesting to me is that the meaning of 'counterfeit' is being shifted. Counterfeit does not mean actually counterfeit, it means 'we couldn't process this stamp', which is a different thing altogether.

I guess that either the Royal Mail's system is failing to read the bar code correctly, or it's encountering a bar code it's already seen before, and assuming it must be malicious. But in the latter case, there's no basis for saying the second use of the code is the counterfeit and not the first. That is, apart from doing actual forensic analysis on the stamp, which my guess is they are not doing—not in every case at least.

If someone called me a counterfeiter, or even just said I was benefiting from counterfeiting, I'd be pretty angry. Especially if I found out they were accusing me without any evidence, without doing any diligence beforehand, and possibly as a consequence of their own error.
100% urbit. The idea behind it (briefly: "personal server", an easy-to-use, no-frills place for an end-user to run server-side use cases like storing important files, hosting a blog, etc that's portable between cloud hosts and designed for long-term stability over performance) is a good one. Implementing it as a novel VM with built-in identity and crypto makes sense. It includes some genuinely hard/useful features, like exactly-once messaging between nodes. Kelvin versioning (counting down towards "done" rather than counting up as features are added) is a great idea for software that serves infrastructural purposes. Charging a one-time fee for cryptographic identities is an elegant way to make a de facto reputation network that disincentivizes malicious actors, and is also that rarest of beasts, a non-dumb reason to use a distributed ledger.

It had so much going for it, but it was DOA from launch for two reasons: first, the implementation is so bizarre that the kernel documentation is frequently mistaken for an elaborate joke, and second the founder's racist blog went viral at virtually the same time as the public launch. It's not technically failed I guess as it's still being developed and does work, but a network without a network effect can only go so far.

I honestly think the "personal server" idea would be incredibly useful, and it would also be very profitable (not the software itself, but for cloud providers) if every suburban family rented a $15/mo VPS. I post about it here from time to time in the hopes that someone will fork it or re-implement what is basically a great idea, but in a non-ridiculous way and without #cancelled taint of the founder. Bezos, if you're reading this, please put a small team on it just to see if it goes somewhere, I'll be your first customer.
