I think maybe it's more an overcapacity with more manufacturers getting models out there plus the early adopter market getting near saturated and the rate of growth dropping a lot and that its not fully crossed the chasm to mainstream yet.

So it's not that adoption as a whole is in trouble but more that any one ev maker is going to find it harder to make a lot of sales at the moment.

And it's definitely the case that a big chunk of tesla stock value was tied up with elons brand which is looking more like a problem than a benefit these days.

It's challenging when dealing with millions of dollars. $5 million is a substantial amount, and a 37% capital gains tax would reduce it to approximately $3 million. Essentially, you would lose $2 million to taxes.

$5m is life changing.

Having said that it is stupid to commit tax fraud and live a life of perpetual fear.
> I think it has worked well for a lot of people as an investment. Not so much as a replacement to normal money.

Replacing normal money altogether would anyway be an huge goal. Personally I believe, long-term Bitcoin is getting there. I've been using it for payments, now and then, for about 10 years. Mostly as an experiment, but sometimes it also is more convenient to pay with BTC. In general there has been slow, but increasing acceptance of BTC as a payment method. For some things it makes more sense than others. The biggest issue was the early misconception of it being good for microtransactions. I would say that it is more for macropayments.
It's >700MB on macOS too, though.
Ease of grepping is one benefit, but for me the main benefit is the cognitive overhead when reading code.

Are you sure about people dying from lack of sleep ? I read the opposite but I lack proof. To me sleeping is an essential "maintenance" of the body & the mind but that lack of sleep wouldn’t kill you in itself.

However there is no doubt sleeping is essential to psychological and physical health.

I also sometimes struggle with insomnia and I recommend reading "Why we sleep". It helped me understand sleep better than I would have thought and it actually helped me manage insomnia. The book is also actually really captivating which is a good thing given I thought I knew enough about sleep hygiene. I was so wrong.

I think there's quite a lot of great ways to get through the muck. For currently happening events, simply look at the various contradictory views, and find where they intersect. It's in that spot that one will nearly always find the truth. For past events, where the clear truth has come out, go back and visit various sites using something like archive.org. It often becomes quite clear which groups are making impartial statements, and which are not - which generally should give some predictive power about the veracity of their statements in the future.
Yes.

this is true, but not a problem. Go's pattern of checking the error on every return means that if an error is returned, that is the return. Allowing routines to return a result as well as an error is occasionally useful.

Like all the other AI codebots it's a tool that can potentially optimize a developers workflow. In the same way that a nail gun optimizes a carpenter's workflow. But sometimes the carpenter might just use a hammer.
This really reminds me of petrinets but an analog version? But instead of places and discrete tokens we have activation functions and signals. You can only trigger a transition if an activation function (place) has the right signal (tokens).
To me dreams feel more like a side effect of sleep. The fact that one is asleep is the restful part. Dreams do give some insight, but often times I don't dream at all (as in I don't remember them) and feel really well rested as well.

Sometimes I only get by on power naps and those power naps are pretty good too.
This is a really clever use of grid & a case where the named templates is actually well done instead of overused.
The success we're seeing with neural networks is tightly coupled with the ability to scale - the algorithm itself works at scale (more layers), but it also scales well with hardware, (neural nets mostly consist of matrix multiplications, and GPUs have specialised matrix multiplication acceleration) - one of the most impactful neural network papers, AlexNet, was impactful because it showed that NNs could be put on the GPU, scaled and accelerated, to great effect.

It's not clear from the paper how well this algorithm will scale, both in terms of the algorithm itself (does it still train well with more layers?), and ability to make use of hardware acceleration, (e.g. it's not clear to me that the structure, with its per-weight activation functions, can make use of fast matmul acceleration).

It's an interesting idea, that seems to work well and have nice properties on a smaller scale; but whether it's a good architecture for imagenet, LLMs, etc. is not clear at this stage.

You are underestimating the time it takes to get stuff done in a big bureaucracy AND the fear of the Congressional Review Act. It's the nuclear option where Congress not only reverses an agency decision but also ban the agency from ever doing that thing again in the future.

But Congress can only go far back so agencies are racing to put out regulations now so that a potentially hostile Congress in 2024 can't undo what they did easily.

See for example net neutrality from the FCC, FTC regs, airline refund regs from FAA and more.

Yes, all of this might help in the election, but if this were really just about elections, you would see these announcements in September and October.

This is not accurate. If you move out of the Netherlands as a Dutch citizen you definitely still have to file your IRS for at least a couple of years (until "computer says no"). Even with no assets or income from Netherlands.

And of course if you have assets in The Netherlands of any kind you'll have to keep filing IRS as long as you have anything going on there.

Downvotes mean little, arguably even moreso than Reddit. I've noticed I've garnered a dedicated downvote squad who tend to make the rounds once or twice a day.

But that aside: Surely you've heard of GPGPU (General Purpose Graphics Processing Unit), a term I again call bloody stupid. Just call it a General Processing Unit in that case. More recently, the amount of money changing hands in furious bids for more Generative Processing Units to fuel the "AI" craze absolutely dwarves actual graphical applications and even the general use cases.

I'm merely calling the bird that quacks like a duck a duck, not a swan duck bird.
When I'm feeling cynical, I share the same view:

If you voted for the winner, and you don't like what they're doing, it's your fault for voting for them.

If you voted for the loser, and you don't like what the winner is doing, you need to shut up and accept the result of the vote.

If you didn't vote, that's your own fault for not participating.

Yeah, I'm talking more about RPC - the server sends a command to the agent - the agent does a thing and returns a response. There's no external sync of the command and given a long-lived connection - client/server what you will - this can all be completed in milliseconds with no new-connection overhead.
They are though. It's that people tend to forget over time. I barely remember details of the last administration. A NYTimes article recently observed the same.

The setuid part is where things get exploitable. Pretty much any exploit to date was abusing a library's assumption about what to sideload or what to persist after it got root rights for whatever reason.

"Good distro maintainers" (e.g. Arch Linux) try to minimize the attack surface by modifying their packages to use the capabilities flags instead (e.g. the net cap flag for ping binary).

"Bad distro maintainers" blame the end user for their own responsibility for letting this happen. They could have just uninstalled the program, right?

Well, I disagree. SystemD's new approach is that they try to reuse the seccomp sandboxes they've introduced for a while now, where root rights-given processes can even be executed in a chroot, with a fake /etc/passwd file, with fake users, with fake /dev ices etc.

As SystemD as the process #1 always has to be executed as root, I think it's a good thing that they try to offer a sandboxed alternative. Polkit is just so damn ugly with all their hacky subscriptions and policy files. If you disagree with me, I recommend you to learn more about privilege escalation exploits on POSIX systems, and how PAM, Polkit and pretty much any auth framework always said it's the users fault.

LD_PRELOAD auth bypasses are now more than 18 years old, and the CVE still works on enterprise-grade linux distributions. It literally was the reason muslc was created as an alternative to glibc. And that's older than a decade now.

Tried that model, it seemed to have a larger than usual training set, and nice eloquence, but there was nothing revolutionary compared to current state of the art models. Put it through some of the usual tests, and showed same weaknesses of most models.

For example given a sequence of eight numeric values: 4, 5, 5, 4 ,2, 3, 4, 4

Ask the model to create a phrase with as many words as the amount of numbers, and where each word will as many characters as the corresponding numeric value. For example: "Four happy ducks swim in the clear pond"

Most models will create phrases with more or less words, and the number of characters in each word, will not match the sequence. And so did this mysterious model...So it might be GPT 4.5 but it's probable not GPT-5 :-)

I've tried subscribing to NYTimes couple of times (it is super-cheap, here in India) just to get rid of these irritations but I never succeeded -- error with the payment processors.
The Federal Reserve (The Fed) is supposed to work independently of the political process which is why we have the same Fed Chair as we did during the Trump years. Ironically this means the Fed Chair keeping rates high is the same one that set a zero base rate. The various Fed leaders operate under the same guise of serving outside the political cycles.

They’re still human so they can be swayed by Presidents and obviously have their own political leanings. In general the ability to not listen to politics allows them to make choices that are inconvenient for an election cycle but good for the US economy.
I’d be genuinely interested in seeing what people are building on top of this.

Especially to see some concrete code examples, as I find those easier to learn from than the current state of the docs. Especially with regard to footguns mentioned!

I’ve had a few ideas, mostly porting older projects I built in Python using the Stem library. I feel like Arti is going to be much cleaner for embedding in applications than having to also bundle the correct Tor binary… manage running it as a subprocess… etc

Python is an excellent choice.

> - Python is not easy to build into portable binaries
> - The package ecosystem is very hard to use in a reproducible way

People use OS packages since 4 decades.

> - The language is not truly typed

The language IS strictly typed.

> - types add massive value for infrastructure and scripts because they are less likely to be unit-tested

99% of errors in deployment are not solved by typing.

> - The lack of a "let" or "var" keyword makes simple programming errors more likely (again, this code is less likely to be unit-tested)

If your logic is so complex that let/var makes a difference you should be not touching infra.
Interesting that zig does this. I wonder what the binaries miss out on by defaulting to such an old symbol version. That's part of the problem of course: finding that out requires reverse engineering the glibc source code.

A little thing I realize upon reading about all the brain study is how bad we are at reverse engineering a totally alien "computer".

In popular media, human is often depicted as some super scavenger that can exploit and adapt alien technology to their own in a matter of 1-2 lifetimes. And yet here we are in reality, after thousands of years with abundant and intimate access to one of the most efficient and most capable information processor known to us, and we are still absolutely clueless about how it work.

The closest thing we built to mimic it cost maybe a million times more energy and perform a fraction of the functions of the original one. So much for "reverse engineering".
Game theory has some things to say about this, and the expected long term outcomes for everyone aren’t good. Employers could use some study in the subject, but I’m firmly convinced this is past the capability of HR departments in general. I mean, they call themselves “HR”, which tells you about all you need to know about how they think about you.
> where you burn your housing cost every month

As opposed to travel cost?

(yes, it's a really stupid situation that renting a house is far more expensive than renting some money for thirty years)
>> you would lose $2 million to taxes

This is where people lose perspective. You're not "losing" anything. If $2million is owing on $5million then the $2million was never yours to "lose to tax". The $2million was always owned by the government (assuming it is calculated correctly).

The mindset that tax is losing money or being taken from you is I think at the heart of why some people go tax crazy.

It's easier to deal with if you don't ever see it as your money, cause its not your money.

You made $3million and part of the cost of making $3million is $2million tax.

Focus on the $3million. The $2million in a real way does not exist to you.
I think what is perhaps something to consider is how much of an attack surface sudo is and how unaware people are of the fact. Many people think they can configure sudo to be safe to use for unprivileged users, by only allowing specific things to run with it. But they don't realize all the ways it can be abused for privilege escalation. Getting rid of all that configuration removes that false sense of security, which is a good thing, it has been a huge footgun in Linux for decades. Some incompatibility is price well worth paying for that imho
Maybe you've not understood. I'm asking, why does it have different options? Is there a reason for that? If not, make it compatible, so a drop in replacement. Otherwise we're just spamming new commands at people, and the old sudo will probably end up living on alongside the new on systemd based systems just to keep scripts and the like working.
Where did you learn that history?

What do you mean by "better"?
Living next to a big Airbus site in Eueope I agree, Boeing being weak on safety is bad for Airbus as well.

It is time to realize that the practises of a certain type of business manegerial class are extremely damaging to wide parts of what makes our society function.

The good times for US manufacturing where times where engineers still ran businesses to some degree. Nowadays it seems that you get managment that comes in and treats a major airplane manufacturer the same as a grocery chain, a fastfood franchise or any other type of business. That means: trying to cut corners, removing all the cladding, externalizing all the costs for a short term win and make sure to be gone once that hidden debt comes due.

This is not sustainable, but it generates a lot of money for those people.

I am all for holding such types accountable after the fact. You removed X against the advice of your engineers and it lead to catastrophic failure? Jail.
