Your article did not mention any reduction in labor. The motivation behind flat mounting was less land use and stabilizing temperature. There's still no serious proposal to reduce costs by 10x let alone 100x. This is just a totally baseless claim
I’d say an ever bigger roadblock is societal balkanization and resulting incoherent corruption and law enforcement.

It’s not uncommon for lawsuits in India to get ‘stuck’ for decades or longer, while squatters do their thing to property without involvement from police, and the mob (as in groups of angry people) just does what it wants with no effective penalties or accountability.

India was formed by non-consensually welding together 200+ long term distinct religio-ethno-socio states, and pretending they are all one country.

In China, and to a lesser extent Vietnam, it’s a different dynamic.

If the communist party likes you, you can do whatever you want and quickly. If they don’t, good luck surviving at all. And the ethnic groups are limited and small minorities. So there is a coherent majority whose interests can be known and that can be appeased.

So if you’re in the good graces there, it’s speedy, efficient, and profitable.

India, there is no one group effectively in charge (at least anymore), and you’re constantly dealing with having to pay off or work around yet another different group that somehow was able to get themselves in a position they could force you to pay them. Often dozens in any one area.

And because the ‘Indian’ identity is relatively weak compared to their more specific ethnic/caste identity, it’s much harder to override for the ‘greater good’.
Lowering latency doesn't effect that, though. Something drawn once is drawn once no matter how high or low the latency is.

Woodworker here. The equivalent SawStop to my basic table saw is 3X the price.

Your analogy wouldn’t make sense unless seatbelts tripled the price of cars.

SawStop has a huge patent portfolio and they’ve been cagey about actually letting other people use the full system. This is more of a regulatory capture play, not a safety play with consumers in mind.

That Metra project looks interesting, they are buying battery powered trainsets: https://metra.com/newsroom/metra-buying-battery-powered-trai...

45-65 miles range, and 20-30 minutes to charge 20->80%. Better than I would have expected, and certainly could work well on shorter routes where full electrification is impractical. Sounds like it will be built in the US as well.
Sounds like selection bias at work. Developers are the most likely to choose both, a platform/OS to use for work, and a workplace where other people choose/encourage the same platform/OS.

If the people I was working with didn't bother to test their tooling on Linux, then I would be the one person on the team testing for (and porting to) Linux, and that would definitely motivate me to work elsewhere.

Yes - but until they bumped to £10.99 recently they hadn’t increased the price at all. Inflation adjusted from launch the single user premium price should be about £17.99 I think.

Woah, nice. I wouldn't know where to start without going to law school first.

I surmise the invention of cheap transportation combined with successive generations of mass communication like the internet demolished the central fixtures of local community and togetherness in the lives of most people. So not only do people move frequently, but they don't engage with people around them. This can't be healthy for individuals or families. Without the moderating and supportive forces local communities apply and provide on their members, people can gravitate towards hyper-individualism, odd beliefs, extremism, antisocial behaviors, isolation, and loneliness. As such, it becomes more difficult to socialize children properly, a society becomes paranoid with low trust, and it motives lashing out via crimes of desperation, despair, and malice. Healthy societies don't have rampant drug overdoses, mass shootings, droves of unhoused people, favelas, armored middle-class housing, $100M+ homes, or plunging net fertility rates overall.

One of my favorite memories was getting across the street to a restaurant with some noobs in front of one of the FAANG offices in Bangalore - high traffic times, so no way to do so on foot without a noob ending up dead.

For Windows, I probably agree too. Like others here though I had a soft spot for Windows 2000, everything felt slightly more refined in win2k.

Personally I'd probably take some version of Mac OS 8/9 as peak mouse driven GUI design. The third party app ecosystem in Mac OS was a lot better about respecting UI conventions on the platform IMHO, Windows app UIs were all over the place for me during this period as they transitioned out of the DOS era.

Simple things, like how installing apps was just dragging them to a folder, not the plethora of setup.exe examples found on Windows, were pretty nice back then on the Mac UI.

There are of course lots of things that sucked about old Mac OS then - memory management etc - but the UI design was great.

Not a lawyer either, but I think there is a more obvious angle to this: publicly traded companies can be audited, publish costs to investors, list their creditors and amount when going bankrupt, ask for tax rebates by declaring their expenses etc. In many circumstances their money flow needs to be transparent.

Not being allowed to expose the buying price of a service would go against many of these procedures/obligations.

We could look at it the same way disclosing one's salary can't be illegal: how do you then apply for a loan for instance ?
As far as I can tell, this study was almost entirely about fiction: https://github.com/mungg/FABLES/blob/main/booklist.md lists 26 books, only one of which is classified as non-fiction.

I would imagine that summaries of non-fiction books are evaluated quite differently from summaries of fiction.

I've been trying to figure out what prompts they used. The https://github.com/mungg/FABLES GitHub repo says this:

Summary -- (str) Entire book summarized
by one of five models: Mixtral,
GPT-3.5-Turbo, GPT-4, GPT-4-Turbo, and
Claude-3-Opus, using the hierarchical
merging method described in Chang et al..

With a link to https://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.00785.pdf - which then links to another GitHub repository, https://github.com/lilakk/BooookScore which has a bunch of prompts in https://github.com/lilakk/BooookScore/tree/main/prompts

Which makes me think that this original paper isn't evaluating LLMs so much as it's evaluating that one particular prompting technique for long summaries.

Gemini Pro 1.5 has 1 million token context length, which should remove the need for weird hierarchical summary tricks. I wonder how well it would score?

0.33 billion or 0.15 billion alone might not make a difference, but it isn’t alone here. Someone needs to pay all the costs not just those you happen to want to talk about.

But there’s no reason to be abstract, let’s see a breakdown for the full lifecycle of a single rector and see what all the individual costs add up to. I’ll even let you pick any fully decommissioned reactor for cost comparisons to find one within that 60-80% range.
> "Science should not be over-simplified like that",

It is a difficult balance to strike, but science should be

> as simple as possible, and no simpler

The hard truth is that any simpler means inaccurate, which means when educating the public there __are__ inaccuracies. So the balance to strike is accuracy vs understanding. Most people do not understand the Schrodinger's Cat thought experiment, wave-particle duality, or many similar things (like how one of my namesake's Incompleteness Theorem, Super Position, and the Halting Problem are linked) yet will confidently correct explanations given that do hold more accuracy (even "teaching" those where it is clear one side is vastly more qualified than the other).

But think about it this way, the people getting mad at the over-simplification are not a force preventing public explanation but rather a pressure to find a better and more accurate explanation. The problem is when we frame these things as adversarial in the sense of enemies fighting rather than adversarial in the sense of improving one's self/group's position/arguments/discourse. Both sides can benefit from a reframing of these interactions by not holding the positions as equivalent to one's intellect but rather recognize that statements are independent. We are better as a coalition than separated, even with disagreement (especially with). It is clear here that everyone is on the same side after all, as all parties involved are seeking the same goal: better public education. It then becomes the duty to read between the lines to extract what the actual complaint is, because this is often also difficult to express (without a lengthy process) given we do not know one another's priors. We should not confuse critiques for attacks or dismissals. Nor should we dismiss or attack when we should critique! Though it is acceptable when errors are egregious or when people intentionally mislead. Unfortunately there is a large amount of that, but let's also distinguish idiocracy from maliciousness, as the former can be fixed (if we formulate with the above framing).
Hopefully native vertical tabs will come with this development. I’d switch from MS Edge if Firefox introduced this.
This is a very orientalist view of India.

Most states in India have a single party ruling, and it's fairly easy to understand who to be chummy with, and how to operate a JV.

The issue is swing states have competing political poles internally, which slows down the ability to operate as you need to deal with 2x the overhead.

Even in China and Vietnam you have a similar mentality, but the difference is it's all part of a single party.

Furthermore, at least in VN's case, you have the exact same problems as India if not worse. The main difference is most factories in VN end up getting built in the Red River Delta region (Hanoi-Haiphong), so there is a strong network effect.

Once you go to other cities in Vietnam (eg. Pleiku, Can Tho) you lack the kind of administration that has experience dealing with foreign investors and businesses, forcing you to have to make JVs.

India is basically a country with 26 Vietnams - some of those states have fairly decent institutional capacity, others less so.

I believe what happened is that Valve said something along the lines of: "We are a little concerned that Nintendo might object, you can only continue if you get an official notice from Nintendo saying they don't object."

It's entirely possible that Nintendo don't care, but the chance of Nintendo agreeing to go on the record about such things is basically zero.

It's weird to me that people actually have this problem often enough that they go out of their way to research and buy a product to try to solve it. I literally never lose my phone or wallet.

There have always been ui stinkers, but the early days of GUIs had companies spending large amounts of money treating usability as the major output of a serious engineering effort. Now, for all the talk about usability, the actual focus for most companies is on keeping up with the art movement de jour or with maximizing engagement or a similar metric that's only loosely related to usability.

As mentioned already by a sibling commenter, installers for NT4 through XP/2003 were all based off earlier NT installers with text mode and all.

WinPE has its roots in NT5.1 (XP), but it was from NT6.0 (Vista) that we got the "modern" installer, and it last saw a UI overhaul during NT6.1 (7). Throughout 8 through 11 so far, the first part of the installer was and is basically Windows 7.

The screenshot[1] of WinPE 10.0 on that Wikipedia article showcases the Windows Basic[2] theme in all its glory, including even the Windows 7 and prior Task Manager.

Ok, but having to go to the edge of the screen or use a modifier key makes it more painful than it should be. Before when Dashboard was just like an extra desktop to the left of your other desktops, you could just three-finger swipe from anywhere on the screen, any time. Same gesture as switching between desktops. It works that way on iOS too. So simple!

I understand why they dropped the original Dashboard, its widget platform was a technological dead-end. But now that widgets are back it would be awesome if they made the new widgets work like the old Dashboard again.
> Standard OLAP solutions right now are really good at "What's the X day sum of this column as of this timestamp", but when every row of your training data has a precise intra-day timestamp that you need windowed aggregations to be accurate as-of, this is a different challenge.

As long as your OLAP table/projection/materialized view is sorted/clustered by that timestamp, it will be able to efficiently pick only the data in that interval for your query, regardless of the precision you need.

> And when you have many people sharing these aggregations, but with potentially different timestamps/timelines, you also want them sharing partial aggregations where possibly for efficiency.

> All of this is well beyond the scope that is addressed by standard OLAP data solutions.

I think the StarRocks open-source OLAP DB supports this as a query rewrite mechanism that optimizes performance by using data from materialized views. It can build UNION queries to handle date ranges [1]

The library rightly leaves implementation of that up to the user. You're talking about mixing cooperative and preemptive threads which have very different safety and execution profiles. There are many ways to arrange and interact the two things. Trying to provide general support for something like that would just end up a complicated mess that no one actually understands properly.

Definitely not "entirely" because there are ways that one can search in a video, it's just not widely available and not as useful as it could be where it is. One way to search in videos is to use Kagi search with the AI assistant. You can ask it questions about a video, and it will answer (generally pretty well).
