Keyboard shortcuts are generally useful for technical power users - think people who learn keyboard shortcuts in Excel vs those that use Excel a lot but don't. So in other words, a pretty small minority of users. Is your target audience that small minority of users? If not, then keyboard shortcuts aren't that useful. They are also difficult to integrate into every feature as you grow larger, especially for non standard shortcuts (if you're building a web app)
But how do you take a picture of the gas tank gauge for an electric car..?
Visiting family over the holidays last year, I picked Avis's cheapest grab-bag tier and they gave me a Chevy EUV. Was my first time driving an electric vehicle. The fact that I had to look up what a charging network is, find a charging port near me, download the app for it, enter in my CC information into it (which failed 3 separate times), hook it up to the charging port overnight (only for it not to work), and end up driving back to Avis on literal fumes was un-fucking-believable. This shit should have been as easy as, if not easier, than filling up a car with gasoline. The whole user experience was a complete and utter farce.

Thankfully Avis didn't charge me for fuel; the lady at the desk said when I brought it back "yeah no one knows how to fill them up". After being neutral on EVs, this permanently soured my opinion on them. I will never touch another one as long as I can fight it.
I've long thought that there should a be a penalty when a business fails to deal in good faith. When a business fails to respond to a customer complaint, or responds in a way which is disingenuous, or automated, or does not take the time to actually understand and respond appropriately, there should be a cause of action.

In other words, the customer should be able to sue for bad faith dealing. The law should recognize that forcing a customer to fight to resolve a legitimate issue causes the customer harm, and the customer is entitled to collect damages over and above any other damages they have sustained (in this case, over and above the $277).

One or more class action lawsuits would help straighten this company out.

This one was a good start: https://www.npr.org/2022/12/06/1140998674/hertz-false-accusa...

The next step is for company executives to face personal liability for failing to deal with these issues.
> Making custom viruses is never going to be an easy task even if you had a magic machine that could explain the effects of adding any chemical to the mix. You still need to procure the chemicals and work with them in very careful ways, often for a long time, in a highly controlled environment. It's still biology lab work, even if you know exactly what you have to do.

You appear to be talking about today. I am referring to some point in the future.

If you extrapolate our technological progress out to the future, it certainly seems possible, at some point.

The one I’m thinking of stored prices in the HTML form as a hidden field. It trusted the client-submitted value when deciding how much to charge you.

The justification I heard for the ethics of enjoying the home-rolled discount was that it was similar to haggling. The store chose to accept the offer.

Not sure I totally accepted that, but appreciated the creative thinking.

Extraordinary sensitivity, internally and externally. It's considered a very advanced practice because without a trained mind it is extremely jarring, will induce anxiety and maybe make you start thinking that you have psychic abilities (or schizophrenia).
Yes, it's only a high level observation, but one that seems to hold true for electrical storage so far, i.e where there is a closed system with an electrical input and output.

For fusion there are also various direct energy conversion methods for electrical output, but not the reverse, i.e i don't think there is method for nucleosynthesis directly from charged particles.

In a more general sense, sure, power vs energy relation doesn't hold, but when limiting the system to the requirements to be a self contained electrical storage component, this relationship seems to emerge.
Is finding gaps just hard now? As a 24 yo, everything seems to be done already
I'm trying to find good problem statements and gaps to solve, Tech/Non-Tech.

But it just seems to hard find something substantial. Everything seems to be already done.

The gaps seem very teeny-tiny. I really don't want to solve a hyper-specific, niche B2B sales gap for example.

It seems like people earlier had it much easier and the ideas seemed a bit obvious. This sounds envious, and could be somewhat wrong. But I truly am still trying to figure out a good gap.

Which companies are the "good" ones?
It's pretty easy to understand. It's great for the rich and most of the middle class and "lucky enough poors" have an enormous percentage of their wealth tied to homes.

For them rising prices are often tied to the ability to get a nicer home. You have more money, and this incredibly stressful, risky investment that is less worrisome. There's tons of incentives in place.

I'm seeing a lot of average people (still probably top third tho to be fair) that view homes as an accomplishment and sign of their worth. They DESERVE to be treated better. Their investment must always go up.

> Oil companies are the ones who get their hands dirty, but society as a whole benefits and encourages the oil extraction. Take factory farming as another example - you can blame the factory farms, but good luck telling the average American they'll have to pay 3x as much for chicken and hamburgers because the animals were treated well.

The argument “we’re just doing the dirty work to give you what you want” is horse shit. They actively hid information about climate change for decades, they work to ensure continued subsidies to avoid actual competition, they work to add regulations to competing technologies and run disinformation campaigns. They work to entrench themselves so that “giving you what you want” is really “you’ll take what we give since we’ve undermined the alternatives”.

Same with factory farming. The only reason people think chicken and burgers should be 1/3 the true cost is because the four big ag companies have worked the government into subsidizing things and reducing labour laws, etc etc etc.

Honestly, when your argument starts with being an apologist for big corporations with a profit rather than social motive, I think you should check what first principles you are working with. Our society is a hunger games hellscape and it is because of whatever first principles you are using.

I would like to point out that I'm old enough that I think I've witnessed how aluminum soda cans have become much thinner over the years. Their contents are of course under pressure and that makes them a bit sturdier; they can be stacked 10 feet high with no problem. Usually. But someone tosses a case a little too hard, packing them in a truck, the angle that the force of that jolts off a few degrees... something, and the can just explodes and makes a mess. And the economics may mean that even with that loss it's still better financially, but this seems wrong to me somehow.

If it were only disposable cans I could probably ignore it. But everyone's shaving milligrams here and there, to the point that you'll get a potato peeler at the store because the last one broke, to bring the new one home and compare it... only to find out it was stamped out of even thinner steel. It breaks next month. You can't shop around and find a better one, they're all pumped out of the same no-name factory that a forensic accountant probably couldn't track down if he had access to all of the supply chain's paperwork.

A friend and I were discussing just a few weeks ago whether or not duct tape was of vastly different quality when we were small children (late 1970s) compared to today. I of course realize that 4 yr old me might have a much more difficult time tearing off a piece of identical duct tape that 50 year old me could tear without trying... but I seem to remember even my dad having to put a little too much effort. You really did have to rip into the stuff.

When you shave these milligrams off of items, it looks like it is win/win, that you're reducing cost without reducing any quality that anyone cares about, but I think that it might be true that you're shaving little pieces off of everyone's lives. Too little for them to complain about, but the sum total of that unpleasantness must be vast. I am not inclined to celebrate it.
Because oil is fungible, this has the exact same effect as limiting supply: price will increase. There are plenty of other ways to increase oil price (taxes being the simplest) that don't require creating new waste disposal sites. Burying the oil also has the nasty side effect of increasing demand, so there's a chance that, for example, OPEC will just extract more oil to meet the added demand. And extracting oil isn't "free" from an emissions perspective.

So frustrating.

"We hope VideoPrism paves the way for future breakthroughs at the intersection of AI and video analysis, helping to realize the potential of ViFMs across domains such as scientific discovery, education, and healthcare."

... for those of us internal to Google Research, and possibly large corporate clients when we choose.

Custom internal dataset, no model weights, no API access, just "FYI, this works pretty well when you have our data."

I do appreciate publishing of successful architectures, genuinely, and VP looks like it has some nice ideas, and it is very useful to know that training such a thing is probably not a dead end, so for all that, thanks.

At the end of the day, with large competitors committed to open models/weights, I think momentum is on the side of needing to push out open weights at least, but my guess is GOOG will be the last to transition to this of the big tech cos. I could understand it as a business decision if they were quickly opening this stuff up on their cloud, and competing that way, but they still seem to be in this world where the DeepMind crew continues to push out novel and interesting research projects, and the cloud crew struggles to deliver a competitive LLM at the same time.

I wonder where they'll be in a year. I'd like to hope up to competitive standards so that we've got an additional player, but progress seems slow to me right now.
Everyone seems to love equation 1. It really sells the work. Great job ;-P
Given how horribly all major companies, MS most certainly included, confuse authentication vs. authorization, this is almost certainly able to be paired with a 'vulnerable' (all) endpoint to retrieve/post/update player information.

The horizontal pivot from DRM/crypto-managed Identity to a session token, an unassumingly-kosher redirect, or just omitting the "AUTHENTICATION" header itself is a trivial exercise for the common script kiddie.

This is how exploit chains get a foot-hold, and "secure" accounts get compromised like it was 2010 again.
The article itself says “skid off”, yet they use “crash” in the title. Don’t you think they intentionally “juiced up”? Boring summary, really?

Also, they finished the article with a paragraph about current issue despite the fact that there are no evidence whatsoever that link this incident of a 30 year old airframe with Boeing. They could have waited until the incident investigation concludes to make that connection.

WE should keep the history of the world in mind. How things shake out when people say "there's too many people". Who gets killed first? Who gets involuntarily sterilized?

WE should consider that in the equation of "overpopulation", the other variable, "resource consumption", is far easier and more ethical to reduce.

The issue, of course, is that option 1 hurts others that aren't us, while option 2 will require changes from US, like not eating meat, reducing personal cars, reducing consumption and infinite growth in general.
I was personally affected by this, but it did not harm me. The battery drain was obnoxiously high (having to charge 2x a day instead of once every 2-3 days). I am always near a power plug so I was never in much danger of shutdown. However, I can easily imagine how others would be.

I ended up realizing something was odd with the app and tried uninstalling/reinstalling the app to fix it. Which did in fact fix it (at least temporarily).
Is there any video DRM scheme which successfully protects video content appearing on the pirate bay within 24 hours?

I'm genuinely puzzled why the lie was needed. They do some shadow work and build an in-house solution to replace a vendor. I get that. But why lie after it's done? Why not "Uhh, hey boss, we're already done."

Basically, once you’re accustomed to a certain “luxury,” it can feel like a necessity, even if you were content without it before.

Flipside: once you’re used to doing without something, you may find that you don’t really miss it, even if before you had trouble imagining doing without (in my case, full time car usage - I grew up in suburban Texas)
If oil costs zero its utility is zero because no one wants it. You've solved the problem!

"Throwing them in jail isn't improving their lives - what framework are you using to pick losers & winners of the people you help vs hurt?"

Seems to be the combined wishes of the constituents. Same theory applies to most topics. You can see this in how different states poll on firearms (or abortion, etc) and the types of laws they have on that topic. As an extreme example, the same person can carry the same gun in two different states and be lawful in one and committing a felony in another without causing any damage simply because the values and beliefs expressed by the populations results in different laws. They might even qualify to carry lawfully in both states but are missing a piece of paper confirming it. That's how the laws works - break it and suffer consequences. Maybe it's worth it depeding on your moral convictions. Don't like it, then change the law. In the case of agricultural tresspass, the law is not likely to change in ID based on the current views of the population there.
> The CTO certainly seems not the most competent.

Viewed from another angle, the CTO successfully psychologically manipulated his team and almost literally beat a working, cheap solution out of them, and will almost certainly get full credit for this victory done on the backs of others. SO, was he truly not competent? Or was he extremely, dangerously competent?

Not only that, but while the CTO is busy counting his bonus money and accepting his new shares of equity from a satisfied performance condition, he managed to get the rest of the team to simply be proud of doing it for a pat on the back and the feeling of doing "live theater" or whatever.

Basically the means to forge an authenticated cookie.

[Update]

It's a bit more subtle: Having the keys to forge a license request and decrypt server response allows you to emmulate or re-implement a DRM client.

Because the server is oblivious to this fake, it will respond as though it's taking to a genuine "secure" client thereby ultimately exposing the content decryption key.

Cars and the transportation sector are the primary consumers of oil. I think GP was saying, stop pointing at the oil company while you’re driving around in your car.

We should be pointing out the car centric transportation systems we have and work to fix them. We shouldn’t be encouraging things like suburban sprawl that increases car dependence. Reduce car usage, and you will reduce oil consumption.
