> But it won't be possible to sell a subscription for a feature when all is controlled by Apple CarPlay

Good I bought the car, now get out of my life. I’m not paying hundreds of dollars for GPS map updates when I can plug in my phone and use any other mapping app’s evergreen maps. Also, subscriptions for heated seats are patently absurd.
Replying to myself, after re-reading from a different perspective, I wanna walk back on "uninteresting". At first I was expecting more out of why Gomes was kicked, but I realized I answered myself.

And the choice for Raghavan specifically seems like it does matter - there's a certain type of leadership that's empowered that wasn't before, and getting insight into what and why is quite interesting.

This looks awesome, thanks for sharing
There are a lot of places e.g. Replicate where you can finetune and deploy language models. You’ll need GPUs, but you can simply select a hardware class and pay per second of usage, similar to AWS Lambda or similar serverless infrastructure.

Serverless AI is quickly becoming popular precisely because of the scenario you’re describing — it’s currently still pretty hard to deploy your own GPU stack, not to mention crazy expensive to run eg an A100 24/7, plus orchestration for scale up/down. It’s why so many model authors don’t host their own demos anymore and simply toss it on HuggingFace or Replicate directly.

Serverless providers will basically do the infra for you, as well as make necessary GPU reservations, then charge you a slight premium on the reserved price — so you’d pay less than on-demand on GCP/AWS, while they benefit from economies of scale.

I do imagine at some point soon GPUs will become cheap and more commercially available so you could away with hosting your own VPS in the distant (or near?) future.
This oppressed ~= virtuous and support-worthy logic, whose mainstream popularity is a relatively new thing, frankly doesn't make much sense to me. IMO, if you are oppressed, you have a right to be not oppressed - and that is all. If you are oppressed and also jerk, you are a jerk and deserve to be treated accordingly, by which I do not mean the oppression, but whatever the usual consequences are for such behavior.

> "weight is not really a great measure" followed by saying you measure yourself by looking in the mirror

No, it was "weight is not really a great measure" followed by saying "You can lose weight by losing muscle."

Body weight is everything, the good stuff (such as the aforementioned muscle) as well as the bad. And 50-60% of body weight is water, which you can gain or lose rapidly in various ways.

When people say they want to lose weight, often what they actually mean is that they want to lose their gut. Or maybe their butt. For health, for superficial reasons—i.e., looking good—or both. On men at least, the gut tends to be the last to go, so it's a pretty good indicator of how far you've gone, and how far you have left to go. As far as I'm concerned, body weight is "just a number", and it's unclear what the ultimate goal should be, whereas the appearance of your body is clearer to evaluate in terms of an end point. Moreover, it tends to change more slowly than weight, which is actually a good thing, because it's less random and arbitrary than total body weight.

> you've made a few other confusing statements, like "Long term, higher intensity cardio builds muscle"

I actually said "Long term, higher intensity cardio builds muscle and endurance", but for some reason people keep cutting off an essential part of my statement. It was followed by, "The more strenuously you exercise now, the more strenuously you'll be able to exercise in the future." In other words, building muscle and endurance now helps you to burn even more calories later. I'm not sure why that's confusing.

> Can you stop with low effort bait please? Is it really worth our combined time to draw people in with silly statements about miscalibrated scales?

This whole thread has been a waste of my time, and I should have just let your flagged reply die silently, but I'm kind of a glutton for punishment. I don't know why it's silly, though, to mention the imprecision of scales when you seem to be so focused on instantaneous, scientific precision.

Honestly tiresome to see accusations of antisemitism and reference to the Palestinian West Bank as "Judea and Samaria". How does the Palestinian West Bank become Judea and Samaria? Through forced displacement, ethnic cleansing, and/or genocide.

So .. they should advocate for people being better at sorting out what they flush down a toilet along with sorting their recycling?

Real world experience demonstrates that doesn't work.

They only winning strategy here is keep working to denormalise flushing anything down a toilet, washing anything into sewer lines that isn't paper, piss, or poo.

Sure, there are possible exceptions but once a door is opened other things are shoved through and we're back to fatburgs that bog up the system and backflow neighbourhoods.

EU "recycling" turned to Poland after China banned plastic garbage imports. There have been illegal garbage dumps (plastic and other hazardous substances from the west of EU) burning in Poland for over 10 years now, usually couple a month up to one a week.

Its run by organized crime, how it works:

Goon rents a warehouse/piece of land in Poland claiming to be a transportation/construction/recycling company usually using forged documents or homeless person fronting whole thing.

Gets paid to remove hazardous waste from UK/Scandinavia/Germany, stockpiles until place is full.

Finally either sets the place on fire to cover tracks, or the owner stops receiving payments, discovers whats stored on his property and decides to take insurance hit instead of having his assets blocked for several years while courts try to figure out if/what/who is going to pay for lawful disposal.

Recycling plastic is a HUGE LIE.

> being a professional tennis or baseball player involves a lot more than "simple heuristics ...

Mmm, a combination of simple heuristics, all of which are of course learned, but still simple heuristics, could in itself be a simple heuristic. Yet it could allow performing pretty complex-looking actions, including those you described. Simple heuristic here could be a linear or low degree polynomial approximation of a good solution to kinematic equation - not precise, but enough to get to the goal, while learnable and explainable. But still without actual full-blown abstract, mathematically correct complete solution.
Solid point. Not to mention that Shorts content is mainly linkbait and/or garbage.
One of my motorcycles is quite loud. (A Ducati Monster 900 with unbaffled Stainture pipes and a chopped airbox.)

There's a stretch of road through a valley in the bush (an Australian term kinda like forest) that I used to ride daily for about 20 years - Wakehurst Parkway between Frenchs Forest and Narrabeen, for anyone familiar with Sydneys Northern Beaches.

In a "good" cicada year, they can be loud enough for a long stretch of that road that they completely overwhelm the engine noise of that bike. Really really loud. Loud enough that I'd often drop two or three gears and pin the throttle wide open just to amaze myself that a bunch of insects were making more noise than my Ducati.

This is really troubling to me.

I feel like all these companies are really hamstrung by the fact that they don't have enough access to our phone's features. There's no way to build a Siri competitor if you're not Apple or Google, the APIs to send and read texts, make calls, control music apps etc just don't exist.

Chat GPT integrated with your phone's operating system is a lot more useful than pure Chat GPT. I wouldn't be surprised if Open AI gets dethroned by Apple and Google because of that fact alone. It doesn't matter how good your model is if you're not allowed to use it due to anticompetitive practices.

If anything deserves antitrust scrutiny, it's the locking down of private APIs, not some petty disputes about App Store fees.
How is GM a middleman when they are producing the product I am buying which is a car? If GM bundled OnStar with a top tier infotainment / navigation / ChatGpt / I’m hungry where do I eat app, I’ll pay for that as long as it’s reasonable and lets me know I’ll be taken care of if I crash and need assistance.

It's possible you might not need direct access to wave/subgroup ops to implement efficient stream compaction. There's a great old Nvidia blog post on "warp-aggregated atomics"

https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/cuda-pro-tip-optimized-fil...

where they show that their compiler is sometimes able to automatically convert global atomic operations into the warp local versions, and achieve the same performance as manually written intrinsics.
I was recently curious if 10 years later these same optimizations had made it into other GPUs and platforms besides cuda, so I put together a simple atomics benchmark in WebGPU.

https://github.com/PWhiddy/webgpu-atomics-benchmark

The results seem to indicate that these optimizations are accessible through webgpu on chrome on both MacOS and Linux (with nvidia gpu).
Note that I'm not directly testing stream compaction, just incrementing a single global atomic counter. So that would need to be tested to know for sure if the optimization still holds there.
If you see any issues with the benchmark or this reasoning please let me know! I am hoping to solidify my knowledge in this area :)
Sort of. Global Entry also includes PreCheck -- your global entry ID number is also your PreCheck ID. PreCheck does help (quite a bit) with the TSA security lines/etc., so in a way, GE does help you more than just at border crossings.

There's videos I'll watch multiple times, music videos are the obvious kind, but for some others I'm just not watching/understanding it the first time and will go back and rewatch later.

But I guess youtube has no way to understand which one I'll rewatch and which other I don't want to see ever again, and if my behavior is used as training data for the other users like you, they're probably screwed.
> Zombie Chalmers is wrong by definition

Only if you accept that Chalmers's definition of Zombie-Chalmers is consistent. But if you are a physicalist, it is not consistent, and any claims based on it are simply invalid. See further comments below.

> Chalmers' epiphenominalism about consciousness

Yes, that's part of the issue, but not the only part. It is true that I personally have never been able to make sense of epiphenomenalism about consciousness: the idea that my consciousness has literally nothing to do with any of my physical behavior (and remember that this doesn't just include easily observable things like the sounds I utter or the movements my body makes, but things like what can be detected in my brain in an fMRI scanner) to me seems daft. Furthermore, it doesn't make sense from an evolutionary perspective: why would organisms evolve consciousness if it had no effect on anything else?

However, over and above all of that, there is the issue that, as i said above, Chalmers's definition of Zombie-Chalmers is simply inconsistent with physicalism. If physicalism is true, then the idea of a physical duplicate of you, who are conscious, that is not conscious is a contradiction in terms. As I said in an earlier post, physically identical necessarily implies identical in everything, including consciousness, if physicalism is true.

> if you are willing to indulge Dennett in some of his more counterintuitive speculations, you could stand to be a little more generous to Chalmers here

Nothing I have said in support of Dennett anywhere in this discussion is "indulging" him in "counterintuitive speculations". I am simply describing the basic implications of Dennett's physicalism about consciousness. For example, I have not said anything about the "Multiple Drafts" model that he propounded in Consciousness Explained, which he himself said was speculation, but I think he expected it to get more traction than it has apparently gotten. I have tried to limit myself to just the basic things that have to be the case if physicalism is true at all.
This would be considered a trust worth busting.
> I don’t think Apple sees this as a promising revenue stream.

Isn't the value of CarPlay/AndroidAuto indirect? As in that the value is coming from the data being generated to enable better mapping? Because the truth is that some of these mapping services' main utilities depend on a large network of users (e.g. information about congestion, road notices, etc[0]). In that way it seems beneficial to get your app onto as many vehicles as possible and even gives motivation for making CarPlay cross-platform (even if the main benefits only go to Apple users).

[0] Also, wtf AndroidAuto. You pull data from Waze users for things like speed traps, road hazzards, etc, but you don't let me contribute when using Auto? Why is there no button (or voice command) "report road hazard"? Hell, this'll even help you classify events for your ML models.

Unemployment is calculated as # of people looking for work actively divided by the people available to work (workforce).
