Oops, sorry Marcus we're gonna fix things!
I've met some very nice literal communists, who wanted to abolish money.

I think that's about the same level of wrong as cops trying to abolish encryption — I can see what they're saying and why, but the world can't be as they want it to be.

> Piet J. (yes, that's his real name) was browsing art in a small gallery and saw a work which reminded him of a Piet program. He spoke to the artist, who claimed to know nothing about the language. Piet took a photo of the artwork (left), converted it into a clean image file using close colours from the Piet palette (right), and tried running it.

> It ran! The code executes an infinite loop which reads in ASCII characters and prints out the corresponding numerical ASCII values.

Let's not forget his unmistakable approval of anti-semitism. https://www.cnn.com/2023/11/15/media/elon-musk-antisemitism-...

There is no wiggle room here, dude claimed afterwards "That's not anti-semitism" yeah right, read the tweet and come to your own conclusion.

This alone should be enough for Democrats to stop supporting this guy.
I just read that ... incredible. I mean the language itself is just bizarre, but that story tops everything.
Beyond your computer/workstation, I'd love if there was a personal database program that could also access via your phone, so you can use it on the go (even via dynamic DNS if needed) – modern no-code platforms do that, but data sovereignty would be nice.
firefox mobile with uBlockOrigin is the exact same experience as desktop.

well, besides sharing rules using a firefox sync account because they stubbornly disable that on the android build. but that's very minor.
But the U.S. theory (which I advocate) is that this behavior is hurting Chinese people, not just Americans! It's somewhat bizarre to say that retaliating for that in the same fashion is thereby justified. Sure, it makes sense in a trade war sense, but not in a "free speech is actually good and everyone is entitled to it" sense.

About trusting the cloud, what do you think? If the service would offer both local storage and secure synchronization in the cloud, would it be acceptable?

It's one the highest bars in the world, safer than Euro HSR. Wenzhou was the only large accident. Safety record after has been Shinkansen tier, except on largest network in the world. Crippled speed Brightline is already a deathtrap, US HSR would be fortunate to be a fraction as safe as PRC HSR.

What would stop them from publishing an APK to download?
No. Their gross margin only fell by 0.2%, and operating expenses only increased by 151 million, neither of which explains more than a small fraction of what happened. The problem is simply that because they are so vertically integrated, they have high fixed costs, and so a relatively small drop in revenue means a huge loss in profit. Another 9% less revenue and they will be making a loss, unless they fire a lot of people.
How many investors are going to humour Elon on his robotaxi plan? He's made public statements about Tesla getting robotaxis out in 2020, if not even earlier.
I *love* Smalltalk. EVERYONE should try Smalltalk !
Nobody cares about "finish" apart from weird car enthusiasts (think like people who run homelabs, but for cars). It's all about the brand.
I thought it was gone already. Isn't that what all that fuss was about a few years ago?
But on Twitter they said lord Elon CRUSHED the earnings call.
No, it's not compatible. I am sorry, I misunderstood the purpose of your question.
I think a major factor in Musk's decision making is how many headlines will be written about him. The press helped him get to where he is now. Not making the headlines because he does boring stuff probably makes him more anxious than a negative headline ever can.
Maybe time to try again. I use AdGuard on iOS, and Firefox on android supports uBlock Origin.

I watched some commentary on CNN about Tesla's Q1 today.

Popular opinion seems to be that doubling down on self driving will not "rescue" the stock because self driving cars are 5 to 10 years away.

To me, that seems not that far away. At current interest rates of 5%, that means the robotaxi business would be devalued by 28% if it manifests in 5 years and by 63% if it manifests in 10 years.

Given the size of the opportunity (2 billion cars on the road, so about 700 billion yearly manhours that can be automated), a devaluation of 28% or 63% seems to be not too much to make it unreasonable as an investment.

One robotaxi would add something like $5k per year to the bottom line. So every million robotaxis would add $5B. Give that a p/e ratio of 30, and it increases Tesla's market cap by $150B.

Can Tesla bring one million robotaxis to the market by 2029? Assuming the numbers above, that would increase their market cap by $150B. Or in today's dollars by $100B. Even if they never get beyond 1 million robotaxis.

If one assumes that from 2029 on, they add one million of these every year, today's value of that future business probably exceeds all of the current Tesla market cap.

They are not blocking side loading, they are closing a loophole that prevented what Google deems "sensitive permissions" from being locked away behind a number of scare screens. It appears that you will still be able to grant those permissions for apps downloaded from outside the playstore, you will just have to jump though the same hoops you have to do today for apps that are not using the current loophole.
Thanks for your response!

As a non US citizen the cognitive dissonance at play here is astonishing, but sadly not surprising anymore.

All governments play the propaganda game, no need for autocrats. On my phone right now, but if you want I can pull up sources. One painfully clear example is the war in Iraq. Look at how the US Government portrays itself in that regard, as the invasion force and violent oppressor or as the glorious savior and bringer of democracy and freedom?
What does it prove? All social media are concerning and owners can manipulate people and I would say even change the outcomes of elections, just by fine-tuning the algorithm.

Recently I've noticed that YouTube is sunsetting one of my favourite YouTubers. I watch him every day and every day I need to find him manually because he's not on the first page. If the algorithm was tailored to me, it would find that this guy is the only one who I watch every day.
Audio stuff typically has really interesting interfaces and tries to simplify very complex tasks. So look at DAW / synthesizer software, hardware (ableton, teenage engineering) and software/hardware combinations.
What are some of the open source/low cost email options that don’t have to deal with the headache of email deliverability, black list management etc.
When we say should be, this assumes some kind of intention, no? Meta making things open is a means, not an end. The end is to weaken competition to position itself economically. The end is not to make things "open" in and of itself which is what the charter of OpenAI is (was?).

Tool to manage project's all links and its access
When joining a new team, have you ever experienced that after going through onboarding document, you still end up finding out that you missed access to some tool or dashboard or group?

I feel, this poor management of links in onboarding documents is because of lack of structure in them. I think it can be better addressed with a dedicated tool to manage project's links. Even the managers right now aren't aware of which teammate lacks required access.

So, what are your thoughts on a tool to manage all project's links which will provide quicker, comprehensive onboarding and better monitoring for managers.
Oh these ones are sweet! Thank you!

I've also been on the lookout for an AI assisted duplicate finder. Like, it'll compare pictures and then rate similarity between pictures on some scale, by appearance, colour or topic, perhaps with an auto-tagging feature as well. Ofc it should also compare dates, file sizes and the usual MIME type or hash based similarities as well.
The same reason why we can't have:

- TV's that only display images without syphoning user data;

- One-time payment app purchase without subscription.
I submitted this analysis from Retr0id because I first believed the claims in the repo were real and then felt like an idiot.
And yet they were saving money by reusing photographic plates, bacause (as the article said) the observatory was constantly in danger of running out of funding. I guess science has always been underfunded.
I'm not sure how you can say The Culture isn't an anarchy given its only rules are "don't force someone to do something they don't want to", "don't kill someone permanently or we will watch you closely to make sure you don't do it again", and "don't literally read someone's mind or we will call you names and not invite you to parties".

That said, I do agree that there's a necessary selection effect to make the books interesting, as the fundamental problem of writing about a good day in a utopia is that the writer's idea of what that even means is unlikely to sell any copies — so I think of these books in a similar vein to how others say that Asimov's robot books are a demonstration of all the ways that the premise (in the latter's case, the Three Laws) don't really work as well as one might hope.

As I say, what I hope for is the promise of The Culture, but I don't know how to get there… or even if one can.
Here goes down another hype.
What is it with SV tech companies having this terrible habit of thinking not getting a no is the same as consent, then making the ability to express your choice as contemptible and difficult as possible?

When Digital Wellbeing rolled out, users widely reported disabling it restored the sudden decreases to performance and battery life they were experiencing, and the response to that from the Pixel/Android teams was a little bizarre.

First, they issued a base denial. "Digital Wellbeing has no measured impact on the performance or battery life of your device, and if you think disabling will help, it will not."

Later, they made that true by removing the explicit toggle to disable it, doubling down on integration and lumping it into "Digital Wellbeing & parental controls". There's also no mention or warning of its purpose - data collection for metrics and usage.

There's now a "manage data" sub-menu that leaves the collection service running but gives a few options to turn down how much of what kinds of data are sent, but you've got to manually remove all permissions and stop it in adb if you want it "off".

Environmentally conscious buyers buy the environmentally conscious car, but the most popular "car" in the US is the Ford F-150. What do you suppose you tweet to get them to buy a Cybertruck?
The brand is the effectively the sum of what the company does though, and that includes building cars with a good finish. BMW, Merc, Audi, Lexus etc have strong brands because they're well known for make cars that are always well built. In the case of Tesla they could fix all the build problems and their brand would continue to suffer because they have a reputation for poor quality. That takes years to repair.
Why only side loaded apps though?!
Many people in the comments claiming to be liberals who wont buy from Tesla due to Elon. What exactly do you dislike about him, and why is punishing Elon by boycotting Tesla worth slowing the transition to sustainable transportation?

The foundation can only work in the interest of privacy, choice and sustainability for the smart home. It is important that we have a thriving ecosystem of communities and companies working towards this goal. You cannot do this with just a single player. If, at some hypothetical point in the future, that means it will work against my interests, then the foundation is doing exactly what we created it for.
the CAHSR station is at LA's Union station, which I think is the context of this set of comments. The line to Vegas (brightline west) does indeed end (for now) in Rancho Cucamonga with plans to continue on to LA's Union Station
counterpoint: robo taxis might be much, much further away than 5-10 years.
Cars like that are so much about image that I suspect you just can't; the Cybertruck is likely simply too stupid-looking for most F-150 buyers, no matter what the CEO says on Twitter.

That’s… a very odd reading of the above.

Legal systems are unfair if they’re too flexible. They’re also unfair if they’re too inflexible. Autocrats tend to use both extremes to their advantage; all flex for them, no flex for you.

One day ago you (flagged) commented “I hope [Trump] holds a military tribunal for every single person in the FBI”, so I’m not sure how genuine your astonishment is.
While figures have always been manipulated, the degree to wich they have become detached from realty seems to have skyrocketed in the last few years.

> This is probably the first time in history that a graphic artist has painted a functionally workable computer program by accident

While impressive organically, it sounds easy when targeted; we could design a programming language where an image of Mona Lisa prints "hello world" - and claim a similar feat.

Perhaps the reverse is more interesting - programmers accidentally wrote a language that could treat real world abstract art as valid input.
What Can LLMs Never Do?
If it doesn't matter what you tweet then why does anybody care about the tweets?
OTOH when it writes buggy code, you tend to get decent error messages when trying to use it. In this sense Rust + LLM is way better than C++ + LLM
Just went by taxi one way in a Mercedes, back with a Tesla. Similar mileage.

The Tesla’s seats were already worn down so I could feel the steel tubes beneath the upholstery. The Benz was still fine.

That’s better finish which I would care about without being a car enthusiast.

There are literally hundreds of videos and witness testimony evidencing war crimes perpetrated by Israel. There are even mass graves being uncovered which is reported by mainstream media. Humanitarianaid is being held back or bombed by IDF. What on Earth are you talking about? How can one dispute that Israel is a genocidal apartheid?
> That's never going to happen, I'm not that good at physics but there must be some deep thermodynamically principle involved or similar to that.

Eh? Not totally sure what you're getting at; do you believe that there's a fundamental law of physics that says that batteries can never fall in price below where they are now, or something?
As others have mentioned GrapheneOS does give some control back to the user. You can set up contact scopes and file access scopes, you can remove the Internet permission as easily as any other permission.

Managing running apps is still a nightmare though.

I regularly go through the battery history of the previous night, to see if any apps were running while I slept.

So far I've, for example, found my banking app running something called a telemetry service, in the background, even if I set its battery profile to restricted. No way to stop that other than to uninstall the app.

GrapheneOS has one more feature that almost solves this called "Disable app". The downside is that it will remove the app from your home screen and it is a pain to re-enable it.

My current workaround is this:

I use a custom home screen shortcut app to create a shortcut to the settings page of the app I want to disable. Then each time I want to use it, I tap it on the home screen, tap "Enable", tap "Open" and after I'm done I tap "Disable" one more time and close the settings.

However now I've found a new culprit eating my battery. I use Google Meet through a browser, since the app won't work without Play Services. The browser I use for this is Brave. Now every time I leave a meeting, Brave will be listed as using most of my battery when idle. Nothing will remove it. Force stop, nope. Running services list, not listed. Only restarting the phone will stop it.

With all the rabbit holes I've gone through, I've only come out with one response to all this: "This is how Android is designed to work." so I'm not hopeful this will ever get better.
Hum. Are we talking about environmental activists or "environmental activists"?
ah! yes. interesting, although I wonder if those old book covers are black&white but I recognize the texture too
>For example, in the cases of an ambiguous law, who is better suited to understand the ambiguity...

"Understanding the ambiguity" is fine if we are talking about trying to figure out what was intended by the people who put the ambiguous phrases in. But the issue isn't about who can "understand" the ambiguity, it's about who's going to be making things up and giving the ambiguity as an excuse. Asking whether bureaucrats or judges are better at "understanding the ambiguity" is the wrong question--understanding something and doing it are very different things. They'd just understand that the law is supposed to be X, and give a spurious justification about it being Y instead anyway.

Your use of phrases like "thought-terminating cliche" makes you sound like a rationalist. In which case I hope you know what a quokka is. (For the uninitiated, a quokka is an animal that can't understand that someone might want to hurt it.) If someone has an agenda that is against your interests, having "better knowledge" and being "better suited to understand" and "having experience" just makes it easier for them to harm you.
Zoho is also extremely well priced in countries like Japan.
The problem is, sites like DuckDuckGo and Gibiru are not much better.

There's loads and loads of paywall sites appearing near the top, which is pretty useless to me. There must surely be a market out there for a search engine that skips over this nonsense.

One feature that would be useful is a site filter; a link you can click to remove future results from the site.

No amount of wishful thinking will make OpenAI change their course.

Some of the Reddit comments say that Meta has contributed to Torch and done other things, etc. but so has OpenAI…

Their engineers. Their time. Their knowledge. Open-Source.

And who knows what future will bring. Maybe a model like GPT-4 will eventually be made public. To this day it is still the benchmark, which is forcing other teams to find solutions for them to be able to get to that point also.
Pretty much. Japanese and Germans have built those strong brands on the build quality, fit and finish, ride quality, noise insulation, etc.

Tesla customers were willing to overlook that due to the focus on software and cutting edge tech at the expense of quality but people later realized quality also matters in a object you sit in and your life depends on it, since a car is more than an iPad.
