Awhile back (ok, 10 years ago!), there was an interesting New Yorker article [1] about the rise of automation, specifically related to flight, but I think some points are relevant here:

> But, as pilots were being freed of these responsibilities, they were becoming increasingly susceptible to boredom and complacency--problems that were all the more insidious for being difficult to identify and assess. As one pilot whom Wiener interviewed put it: "I know I'm not in the loop, but I'm not exactly out of the loop. It's more like I'm flying alongside the loop."

I think these assisted driving features in cars are the same way. I personally like the idea of them, humans seem to be incredibly horrible drivers (especially here in the Bay Area). However, when attention and monitoring is still required, people get complacent.

All that said, I'm not sure what the answer is -- maybe these systems need to get to a point where they are fully autonomous? But how do we get there and feel comfortable about it in the first place? Take air travel for example -- planes are probably perfectly capable of taking off, flying themselves from point A to point B, and landing without human intervention. Would you travel on a plane with no pilot? Probably not!

A large part of NATO's deterrence is the same kind of "we promise to nuke Russia if they invade Estonia".

And obviously, without NATO, a EU defense force would quickly spring up (including possibly the UK), and more money would be put into all kinds of weapons.

In Britain the "casualisation" of labour is considered a big problem and unions fight it.

As we see in this thread, many Americans believe that it's actually a good idea. But if you go look at the actual behaviour at the top and bottom you see that as with many of these things the supposedly "bad" benefits labour movements in Europe fought to get for their workers are just like the things "good" senior management have agreed for themselves (but deny to their workers) in the US.
That has also crossed my mind in the past. The Chinese government being the source of conserving privacy from an acceleratingly authoritarian, western world dominating centralized government is rather ironic.

I could see it happen just for the Chinese to enter the U.S. market. It would also at the same time cause massive rifts in the west’s self-image of openness, equality, non-discrimination, anti-racism, etc (just like the TikTok ban is exposing) and the public will become painfully aware of the false and fake nature of our governments, if they block cars/Chinese companies without a legitimate justification.

If I were the Chinese I would do just that, not only offer cars that are not connected other than if one wants to connect their phone, but even make it a major issue and part of their identify and advertisement campaigns.
How can you call it unstable when it’s been pumping out a self-reinforcing fountain of money for centuries?

Just look at GDP graphs for the US, EU, and China over the past couple of decades.

You’ll see smooth upward exponential growth for US + China with a small bump in 2008. For the EU, it’s been nothing but wild gyrations, mostly trending sideways. Anyone from the World Bank, the IMF, and even tradingeconomics.com has this data.

You mean it’s obliterating traditional western competitors but facing stiff competition from China?
I think what we really have to fear from AI in the near future is not it taking over but people delegating their decision making to an algorithm that has no intelligence behind it.

(This already happens with non-AI systems, but the scale would risk increasing to an inflection point.)
As an apartment renter, unless they mandate or even completely subsidize existing apartment complexes of a certain size or larger (i.e 100+ residents or something along those lines) install EV charging it will remain an issue here.

The vast majority of apartments still have no EV chargers and simply aren't moving to get them installed at all.

I myself was in the market for an EV but would have trouble charging at my apartment. I messaged my apartment complex about installing EV support and whether they considered it and they basically sent a 1 sentence email which can be summarized as "lol no".
And also that car ownership is de facto required to live as a productive citizen in most places in the US.
> it’s obviously not because the charging network is losing priority

Why is this obvious?

It seem obvious to me that the Twitter acquisition made Tesla as a whole lose priority to some extent.
> maybe those cheap new Chinese EV's I've been hearing about will not be connected, nor connectable, "because cost-cutting".

TCL TVs are so cheap because they sell ads and information about what you’re watching to anybody who will buy it. Why would cars be different?
> How is this not a weakness with respect to at least having a local alternative?

Scale - it is a lot of work to create a local alternative. While you could develop that local alternative, to make it a useful competitor to Android would take a lot of resources - mostly trained programmers. Those programmers in making your android alternative would then not be doing whatever it is they are doing right now and so less total output is done.

Is it worth the loss of those other things? There are a lot of different things going on in any country. Perhaps some of them are not worth doing. However even if you stop doing those things is there something else it would be better to spend that effort on?
Damn all these super arbitrary claims. Imagine having numbers to back them up. Oh wait

Do better when you want incredibly easy to find numbers.

So what DOES the EU do?
Is this true? Care to share some numbers?
and i agree with them. static site generators are nice for people who like that kind of workflow, but when you have a team with different personal preferences you need something that is easy to access and doesn't require much learning to get used to.

what would be ideal is a CMS that can separate content editing and serving it. iaw a kind of static site generator that is built into a CMS and can push updates to the static site as they happen.
> give some kind of coherence to it (looking at you Java and C++)

I have never done any real programming in Java itself, but the parts of Java world that I learned while writing some Clojure circa 2015 felt pretty coherent. Now I'm curious what I missed.
I would say google is more than okay with that.
At the end of the day it is not Hudsons job to work for the healthcare companies for free regardless of your view on the morality of it. Having worked with the healthcare industry in the past on things like remote management access it is highly likely this company was told multiple times "We have big fucking problems that are going to lead to a breech" which were ignored for years and put off because the solution was too expensive. I mean, FFS, they paid the handsome, this means they didn't have a viable and separate backup system. Change Healthcare is 100% at fault for operating services that must be secured by law in a deficient manner.
I get EU stamps when I pass through Schiphol to and from non-Schengen countries, on my non-EU passport (though I'm a resident of NL.) I don't get stamps from the country that my passport is from, as I'm going through the automatic entry gates at that end anyway.

Curiously, just checking now, I didn't get any stamp on the UK side when I went to/from Scotland by plane a few years ago.

I had to look this up. I'm doing my master's in computer science at ETH Zurich, where it is ranked #5 globally according to THE [1], and I pay 804 CHF (874 USD) per semester, i.e. 1608 CHF (1,748 USD) per year. I just had to check MIT's tuition.

> The median annual price paid by an undergraduate who received an MIT Scholarship was $12,715 in the 2022–2023 academic year. [2]

You're basically right, MIT (ranked #3) is almost eight times more expensive than ETH (ranked #5). To be clear though, ETH Zurich is in Switzerland, which is not in the EU.

This is a false dichotomy. You don't have to enable building factories with environmental externalities next to suburbs to increase the supply of housing. Surely your argument isn't that we can't have enough housing unless Tesla is allowed to dump waste in the Colorado river is it?
Hmm might want to reword it as reasonably believe, then let the jury figure it as they did with the rancher with an AK who recently walked.
Sure, and it's probably the wrong assumption to make in this case if our eventual goal is to capture general reasoning ability via LLMs.

This is unbelievable.

Insanely wealthy person is not interested in “making money per se”?

Nobody amasses this wealth without being financially obsessed. No amount of ‘effective altruism’-esque “I need more money so I can do more amazing things” justifies it, especially when you put so much on the line to…buy a social network and as a vanity project.

Elon Musk is not a God.
With Tesla the comparison wasn’t nobody it was the original founders continuing to operate the company. Which may have been less successful, but the first Roadster was delivered in February 2008 while he became CEO in 2008. So the EV revolution would have almost certainly started with or without him.

SpaceX was a high risk venture that paid off, props.

Destroying the Aral Sea was hardly "green". The list of environmental disasters caused by the USSR is pretty impressive, in a sad way.

Garage doors aren't mainstream by this definition because they aren't essential for owning a car. They're just a convenience.

EV charging is essential to owning an EV. Almost all EV manufacturers ask that you keep your EV plugged in practically as much as possible for battery health. In most apartment dwelling this is currently not a possibility and there isn't enough incentive for many existing complexes to install anything in much of the country.
In the field of personalized image generation, the ability to create
images preserving concepts has significantly improved. Creating
an image that naturally integrates multiple concepts in a cohesive and visually appealing composition can indeed be challenging.
This paper introduces "InstantFamily," an approach that employs
a novel masked cross-attention mechanism and a multimodal embedding stack to achieve zero-shot multi-ID image generation. Our
method effectively preserves ID as it utilizes global and local features from a pre-trained face recognition model integrated with text
conditions. Additionally, our masked cross-attention mechanism
enables the precise control of multi-ID and composition in the generated images. We demonstrate the effectiveness of InstantFamily
through experiments showing its dominance in generating images
with multi-ID, while resolving well-known multi-ID generation
problems. Additionally, our model achieves state-of-the-art performance in both single-ID and multi-ID preservation. Furthermore,
our model exhibits remarkable scalability with a greater number of
ID preservation than it was originally trained with.
> I think it even makes sense for go purists, like you need to handle errors or get panicked.

You think wrong. Go preaches that zero values should be useful, with means in the common (T, error) scenario, T should always be useful even if there is also an error state. Worst case, you will get the zero value in return, which is still useful. This means that the caller should not need to think about the error unless it is somehow significant to the specific problem they face. They are not dependent variables.

I understand where you are coming from as in other languages it would be catastrophic to ignore errors, but that's not how Go is designed. You cannot think of it like you do other languages, for better or worse.
yea like sane vehicle design; ultra efficient city design and rural access; multimodal transportation design involving walking, biking, rail or other alternative mode of transportation.
> and probably get his $56 billion pay package approved

Maybe I'm not understanding something here, but how does him getting the $56B not crash TSLA stock and the ultimately the company? AFAIKT TSLA has only made about $32B in profit during it's entire existence as a company (and that could be an overestimate - I don't think it accounts for earlier losses which would take it closer to $27B). So why should Musk get almost 2X that? Why would any shareholder (other than Musk) vote for this kind of payout?

> He said the hospital told him “here’s what you’ll be making”.

This is standard in many hospital systems. If there are several hundred people in the same role, having the same contract for all of them has advantages on both sides. It will also have downsides.

You aren’t going to get a competing offer from the same employer, they’d need to apply to a different one.
The problem with USSR-style heating infrastructure isn't the heating (apart from unfiltered coal-fired powerplants), but the insulation. Commieblocks were made with almost none, and to this day in most of Russia and former USSR they are bare. It was cheaper to waste coal/gas/oil than to pay for proper insulation and they were built as "temporary solution to housing problem" after all.

When Poland got independent in 1989 and energy prices got real - everybody started buying cheap styrofoam and in a few years we cut our energy usage for heating 3 times. It was CRAZY inefficient because of the pricing of energy vs materials in Warsaw pact.

This "mass styrofoamisation" still haven't happened in Russia to that degree BTW. It's still wasting crazy amounts of energy in all these old commieblocks without insulation.
