Looking at https://www.threadgroup.org/thread-group, it seems like they already have some access for free ("Academic" and "Associate"). I'll have to review your blog post to see if you already reviewed those and what the specific issues were.

Edit: I see you did mention their "Implementor" membership level, but I'm not sure which of thier points you need to "implement their IP" that the no-cost memberships lack... "Access to IP rights", maybe?

There were many semi-affordable graphics cards in the late 1990s. At various times I had cards from Matrox, Dynamic Pictures, and a Fujitsu prototype. These were all "pro" cards, and those products were wiped out when gamer cards came along and made GPUs a mass market product. So was SGI, of course.

Staggering 19x Energy Jump in Capacitors May Start the End for Batteries
And unless you're pushing for anarchoprimitivism or the like, the factories building your environmentally friendly electric cars are going to have to be built somewhere. I'm reminded of an experience in high school near San Diego, where tons of people were opposed to a new (solar!) power plant out in the desert to the east and they were opposed to the high voltage power lines that would have brought power from this plant into the city. I'm sure there were other, less unhinged reasons to oppose it but the most vocal were the environmentalists opposing it because the transmission lines would interfere with some desert tortoise species habitat. Environmentalists protesting solar power is one of those hilarities that the universe just plops right on your lap sometimes.
> the area of the "my back yard" is much smaller, and more densely packed in European countries

Germany is the 65th most densely-populated country in the world, behind the U.K., Japan, the Netherlands, Taiwan and Singapore [1]. It is not too dense for industry, that’s literally just thinly-veiled NIMBYism.

My point is a realistic solution is never offered. Should Tesla not expand in favour of ICE production? Is the solution to deindustrialise Germany and put all the plants in Eastern Europe?

It’s a short-term fixation on nearby problems without regards for global impact, and it’s characteristic of the German greens.

Genuine question: why would I use this over 7zip?
Engineer I know that worked for a sterilization company said it was impossible to build a plant in Germany. Because there are three factions, businesses, labor, and greens. Business was mostly supportive. Labor wouldn't help because the factories employ like 20 people. And greens oppose because 'chemicals'

To do anything you need 2 of 3 and you only would get a half hearted, a neutral, and a vicious opposition.

> All I did was point out the realities of what's happening, like a news reporter. I don't have a dog in this fight.

You clearly do. And I’m not going to pile on and disagree with your opinion, but your comment up thread expresses a pretty clear point of view about what you think of the well off who are berliners protesting Tesla. It’s not “just the facts”. It’s the facts obviously interpreted through your view of the world. Your psychoanalysis of the protesters. Your judgement of the “irony” of their actions.

Most news is like this, yes. And that’s not necessarily a bad thing. But your “realities of what’s happening” are clearly different from that of other people. Let’s not pretend your point of view is in any way objective.
"Fake News" is an interesting front in a psychological war.

It was coined initially during Barack Obama's administration, shortly after Wikileaks released the Podesta emails. The first public use of the term was by Obama himself, warning people to be wary of non-mainstream or non-state-endorsed media outlets.

Within weeks, Donald Trump had begun using the term with almost the exact opposite definition, successfully twisting the meaning to be yet another name for MSM outlets, to the point that society at large now credits the term with the Republican/MAGA political machine.

Since then, we've seen many terms lose their original meaning and intent. "Woke" was once a term championed amongst the far-left until it too was co-opted into derogation.

Are we seeing the begining of a similar trend for "deepfake"?
Berlin activists do this to every major American company announcing opening a presence. They did it to google a few years ago ago. https://www.wired.com/story/google-campus-berlin-protests/ . Hell, all the bouncers at the famous nightclubs specifically train to "spot the tourist" and keep them out. Especially Americans.

Activism is as much as about a community as it is about an ideology, and there's certainly a huge community of activists in Berlin who want to keep their muscles active.

the "rent" in the saying is the effort to learn and upkeep a certain piece of knowledge in your head, to the point where you can recall it as needed

living rent free generally means that you are able to easily recall a piece of knowledge (and often do, even if you don't want to).

something that pays rent might be like an important concept for an upcoming school test, for a class you're not interested in.
Now. For years German coal imports were rising.

There were protests against the coal industry, but on the mining side.
The first that I found was in 2008 against mining of brown coal[1].

I would argue that there are less targeted protest against coal because protest concerning climate change include being against using fossil fuels which includes brown coal.

Nuclear is a special case, as accidents have a higher risk with a bigger area affected, so there will be more people that are concerned about it(same as with having coal mined next door vs. having a power plant somewhere in your region).

A very fuzzy pattern that has repeated itself in numerous industries: the easier money is to get/have, the less robust and exacting one has to be with the processes of attaining and maintaining it.

A clear example is with any of the numerous "high profile" VC-funded ventures. You can spend a lot of time and money over-engineering things, because you are not (and neither your boss or his boss and so on) involved in a feedback loop that is tightly coupled with the making of "real" money.

Your actions have no real consequences on the business unit as a whole, and no one is holding you to it. What tends to happen is it gets filled with "dreamers" and "schemers." Both who, rather than contributing to the health of the business, erode it for their own ends. Without there being a "tether to reality" so-to-speak, their actions no longer have to face reality a la profitability.

Generally, the consequences of this are many and I do not wish to enumerate on them (but I will drop these without going into any painstaking depth: organizations that are built primarily around key players' career interests, products made to that end, and even day-to-day choices that in the grand scheme of things mean nothing, but something as simple as choosing Redis as a primary relational database, all reverberate).

This is just my very sloppy attempt at putting intuition into words, but this is a pattern of varying magnitude that always emerges whenever money is detached from merit.

This happens in all sorts of personal and business contexts. Whenever the fruits of whatever labor are detached from its process, the less likely the processes used to attain and maintain it are "sound," sustainable, and so on.

Think of a lottery winner: he has just received a large sum of liquid cash, but he most likely neither has the ability to hold onto it or the know-how to grow it (much less make the same amount again). His decision-making and skillset is utterly detached from his gains. That sort of thing is only honed through a tight feedback loop.

The same can be seen with engineers who have only resided in corporate behemoths: drop them into a startup and they will likely flounder.

There is a much larger discussion to be had about human incentives, but I hope that you are able to make the intuitive jump yourself.
> Sure, but the point is where would they prefer Tesla expand?

Tesla is not some necessity, it doesn't have to expand, this isn't like rejecting housing or new sanitation facilities.
I dunno, it works just fine with my intuition — which is that you're not zooming as such; rather, by swiping up / scrolling the page down, you're moving a camera "forward" / "deeper in", toward the stars at the centermost part of the cube. The UI then reacts by re-framing (zooming) to capture and center in the view frustum, the volume of space that's between you and that centermost point.

I think early versions of Google Earth (predating pinch-to-zoom) worked this way, too? In that scrolling "down" meant descending from space "down" to Earth — and thus zooming in.
> My ability to type this message and read is not a constant. There are times when I am non verbal. There are times when I cannot read because the letters are all jumbled in my head. When I'm able to read and write and speak, society values me. When I'm not, society devalues me. You want to take autism out of the equation so that I can be valuable to society.

> What I'm saying is that society needs to be reoriented so that autistic people are valued whether or not they can read or write or speak.

People like to say stuff like this on social media, but I can never quite figure out what they actually mean. Society emerges from interactions between people. If someone can’t communicate, how exactly are they supposed to participate fully in society? All people deserve love and support and dignity regardless of their ability to contribute economically, but I’m curious what this “reorientation” would actually mean in practice.

> would it mean you can never speak out against slavery?

Of course not, but it's easier to speak against something when you already built your wealth on that something. It's effectively then like pulling the ladder form under you.

>but I do believe it is perfectly reasonable to take a stand against something you consider immoral or unfair.

So do I, but like I said, that something they're taking a stand against put food on the table for 1-2 generations. They need to first find an equally lucrative field before cutting the cord on the old one, otherwise a generation of workers will be left jobless and their country will have a huge hole in their budget.

It's not as easy to give up on something bad, if so many livelihoods(and votes) depend on that.
Both are disgusting for the price asked. It would be a lot easier to excuse all the other compromises if the base was 16/512, which would cost Apple like 50 bucks tops per machine.

Yep, water looks to be a huge issue. The video(https://vimeo.com/938795435) in this article(https://unicornriot.ninja/2024/teslastoppen-elon-musks-water...) helped me better understand what's going on.

> the factory used almost 450,000 cubic meters of water, while it is licensed to use up to 1.8 million cubic meters, equivalent to the water consumption of a city with a population of 40,000 people.

How about hooking a camera up as input to some generative art algorithms in p5.js, Processing, or similar. Kids move/dance in front of the camera and the results are projected on an adjacent screen in realtime. Then you can save the pieces they generate and have a few of them printed!
Their linked article regarding the attempted storming of the factory has more details:

https://www.dw.com/en/protesters-attempt-to-storm-teslas-fac...

In short, and according to the article: they protest the clearing of the nearby forest, the environmental impact of lithium mines, and the car-centric policy of the German government. The fact that it's Musk's company has also been mentioned here and there, though not in this article.
Pairs well with corporates “next quarter without regards for global impact”

At some point we all just project “Gfy.” and refuse to “blink” and measure ourselves; we just keep rolling, saying “Gfy.” to those in the way. Maybe we couch that in pointless arguments like “where else should this unnecessary car company exist?”

I think that what Hinton is saying is that, in his opinion, if you fed a 1/100th of a human cortex with the amount of data that is used to train llms, you wouldn't get a thing that can speak in 80 different languages about a gigantic number of subjects, but (I'm interpreting here..) about ten of grams of fried, fuming organic matter.

This doesn't mean that an entire human brain doesn't surpass llms in many different ways, only that artificial neural networks appear to be able to absorb and process more information per neuron than we do.

> Why is it always Tesla vs. ICE? Seems like a false dichotomy

Tesla is the largest EV-only manufacturer in Germany, and is the second-largest seller of EVs in the country [1]. (Also, unless there is a record of Tesla factories being unusually dirty, the protesters are protesting expanding EV production in general. That it’s owned by Tesla seems irrelevant, another manufacturer would raise the same stated concerns.)

If they haven't seen a 3D printer or CNC mill work before, that might be a good demo for preschool, if you can make something really fast on it, that they can see evolve over a few minutes.

So they can see it, maybe ask teacher in advance whether they can stand around the table you've set up on, or what their seating arrangement is (on carpeted floor, movable low chairs, circle of chairs, array of desks, etc.).

Beware that 3D printers can aggravate respiratory problems, so maybe enclosed and ventilation hose to window. With CNC, you have to watch out for metal filings that can poke kids (and get transferred to eyes, etc.), or maybe short later electronics.

Bonus if you have time to show them one predetermined object, then go to make another object that has some choice for them in the design. Maybe you're making a cartoon character figure on a large 3D modeling thing (very quickly, speedrunning it) and you can ask them about the expression and things. Or maybe something for their teacher's, like a 3D "nameplate" for their desk, with some options for customization kids can choose, like font or decorations you put on it. (Unfortunately, probably can't do one of the kids' names, unless you brought enough print time for everyone, but having them make a personalized gift for their shared non-kid is good.) Try to think of things they can't do with poster paint, glue, and macaroni, without discouraging those media.
Yeah lol they're all for it as long as it's produced in a far off land with an innovative view on human rights and environmental protection.
There’s this thing people online tend to do where they’ll take a well-defined word or phrase like autism spectrum disorder and just decide that it actually should mean something else and get mad when everyone else uses the word in the “wrong” way. It consistently derails conversations, and it almost never brings anyone around to a place of greater understanding.
German environmentalism is NIMBY combined with support for Russian fossil fuels.

Do you think if you explained to these protesters that the Tesla factory will stimulate the economy and that they should be grateful they would change their minds? If Germany is anything like the US, these people are willing to risk their personal safety to fight for their beliefs. Maybe you should try to understand why someone would make such a choice instead of writing them off as ill-informed?
I know of some owners of mini McMansions on 1-2 acre desert lots are up in arms about a 100MW solar plant being built nearby. I think they're pick any/all, old people that are fearful and hate change, OCD spectrum disorder types, and people that have transferred their well justified fear that the next brush fire will burn their houses down to the solar plant.

Notable that last one where people transfer anxiety about one thing to another thing is really common.
