Gemini still won't generate images of humans or even other hominids. They're missing here probably for the same reason. Namely that they're trying to figure out how to balance diverse representation with all the various other factors.
When credit card surcharges become widespread, I'll have to consider it. But so far, I've only seen such charges at gas stations.
AI is useful, that's kind of the issue. It looks amazing until you realize how expensive and unreliable it is.
I am a linguist, and I agree. But it does complicate the grammar to allow for these other options. (I haven't studied leet speak, but my impression is that it's more a matter of vocabulary than grammar, and vocabulary is relatively easy to add.)

For the record, the parser I worked on ended up having the "interesting" rules removed, leaving it as a tool for finding sentences that didn't conform to a Basic English grammar with a controlled vocabulary--and used to QC aircraft repair manuals, which need to be read by non-native English speakers.
Do you or does anyone else have a summary of or any link to read about what you are alluding to, namely Proton Mail rewriting email bodies?

I didn't mean it in an "old man yells at cloud" sense so much as a "play stupid games, win stupid prizes" sense. We're now at the point where people should be aware that anything they do in the cloud will be subject to any arbitrary configuration of acceptable use policies, terms of service, codes of conduct, et weary cetera, at the cloud provider's sole discretion and prepare for the consequences if any violations are found, which could be anything; and if you wish for your beta readers to access your spicy novel you may do better to simply email them a copy, perhaps in a password-protected .zip file.
> Given that California electricity is pretty expensive even though we have lots of solar energy, how can that be done? Why not sell it to the grid?

Look at wholesale prices of electricity on the grid, and it's really small.

High prices in California are due to PG&E not maintaining the grid and causing massive amounts of damages, which everybody else pays for. Or something. It's really hard to find out why our transmission and distribution prices are so high. And for that matter, generation costs on bills are super high despite people usually getting much cheaper generation prices if they have a Community Choice option that procures their own renewable generation.

In any case, if the desalination project was funded by their own off grid generation they'd have really cheap electricity.
Would integrated hashtag make sense for EXIF Photo data?
I wonder if people have been placing hashtag somewhere in EXIF.

You could chuck it into description, but that may mean more processing time to extract hashtags.

Does EXIF have any 'hashtag' like capability of flexible human text tagging categories?

What would also be helpful is if we have a predefined taxonomy, which would be helpful for an AI to tag whats present in the scene as well. I'm pretty sure smartphones have enough power to at least do some cursory analysis if there is a dog in the scene or not (and the taxonomy will allow for searching for 'animals' under dogs).
Thanks! I got a new phone and decided not to restore the countless apps I collected, so I'm very deliberate with apps, downloading one at a time, but the iPad collected quite a few, so it will be a good test or Limpio once I upgrade the OS. (requires 17.4)

Of course, I really should delete unused apps as part of the setup.

Note to ios users: Many apps "disappear" from the AppStore after time, but are downloadable under your "purchases" menu if you bought them (even for free).

"Normal" searching on them returns nada.

well for one thing, simple negligence is not criminal negligence. Fraud is criminal, so it is intentionally harder to prove. and i think don't criminal negligence really applies here, but if so would have an equally high bar.

what happened also seems to fall much more squarely under fraud (e.g. lying to the FAA) than simple negligence. failing to notice that they missed steps or didn't complete paperwork would be negligent (which they probably have done), but existing criminal case is about intentionally lying about a design change and it's ramifications to game the certification process. that's really bad. way worse.
> A megalopolis (/ˌmɛɡəˈlɒpəlɪs/) or a supercity,[1] also called a megaregion,[2] is a group of metropolitan areas which are perceived as a continuous urban area through common systems of transport, economy, resources, ecology, and so on.[2] They are integrated enough that coordinating policy is valuable, although the constituent metropolises keep their individual identities.[2]

Personally, I was thinking we could privatize the entire military in one fell swoop. And then let them sell their services to various foreign nations. Turn that one big cost center into a revenue opp.

No way that could possibly go wrong…

That might help pump the stocks of these companies, but government picking winners isn't necessarily a good thing for consumers.

The government has sunk billions into EV incentives for instance, but consumers are currently struggling with inflation for essentials like food and shelter. A slightly cheaper EV isn't really a priority for many, which explains why EV inventories are piling up.
My favorite idea from this post is that you can have a big impact on the company at a small startup, but you can have a bigger impact on the world at a big company. Moving the needle a little bit has a big impact

They probably experience a lot more brain trauma to the point I’m a little wary of assuming they have the same condition as autistics - the etiology might be totally different with a similar symptomology which is the sort of situation the DSM is ill equipped to distinguish between.

The ICD even has the separate concept of CPTSD which imho might fit autistics better.

> No, farmers aren't living in Houston, Phoenix or Sunnyvale.

That's not even true. They live right next to it. I pulled up Houston on Google Maps and there was an ad for "Dewberry Farm" right there.

The center of Houston is dense city, surrounded by a ring of suburb, surrounded by a ring of farms.

Are we not looking at the same map?

(Phoenix doesn't count, it's a desert, no farms there.)

A get together doesn't count in terms of dishes, I'm talking about day to day. Every person I've visited in a city uses far more disposable stuff that the suburban person I've visited.

I've lived in all kinds of places (not farm though), and I've found suburban to be the least wasteful, and cities to be the most wasteful. Rural is hard to categorize - they tend to be more self sufficient.
The 437GW is accurate, but depending on how you measure the "acres" the MW/acre figures seems fairly low, they may be counting a lot of empty space on parcels that are not actually devoted to solar panels. Using estimates from Fig4 here, I'd expect roughly half as many acres as that to be occupied by actual solar panels:

That's surprising, I've seen lots of photos of solar farms post hail storm where there was minimal damage. Perhaps the hail is bigger in Texas (at least for that storm).
I'm not sure what culture you are talking about that celebrates greed. Maybe you are thinking of Michael Douglas's character in the Wall Street movie, and his meme-like "Greed is good". The guy was the negative character, the movie's message was that greed is bad.

What you hear in America, at least, is a culture that celebrates hard work, and generally considers laziness a vice. Why are people willing to work hard? Because they want to succeed in life. That's what the American dream is, after all. You could try to look at it from the angle of "because they are greedy", and, in the end it comes down to dollars: people work hard because they want more of those green bills. But pretty much nobody perceives that as greed, they perceive it as the right compensation for hard work. And certainly nobody goes out there with the message "kids, be greedy; follow my lead, I was greedy in life and look how well I did in life".

What I have noticed though is that a lot of people deplore grid, just like you are doing. It's very easy to perceive that other people are greedy. But very few people perceive themselves as being greedy.

Well, duh, you could say. But here's the thing: in a culture that celebrated greed, people would be proud to call themselves greedy, and to perceive themselves as greedy. But that is just not the case.

Happy to hear counterarguments. Especially examples in popular culture where greed is glorified.
It’s funny because I dropped in on their Discord today for help debugging an app and there was a lively discussion I joined in to get their attention.

Drastically missed this point when I thought I’d be able to make a huge impact at a small startup.

Relative, maybe true. But now I work at a pretty big company after multiple startups, and if I improve any key metric by like 1% it’s a massive, massive impact financially (and selfishly sounds way better as an anecdote on my resume).

Have enjoyed both worlds for what they are, but I definitely didn’t understand this when I was earlier in my career.

Could the US economy be doing too well?
I think the same thing.

That said, I think engineers seem to believe other careers should use logic in a straightforward fashion, but they are more complicated.

For example, lawyers cannot use logic in the same way, because the court can almost arbitrarily say some facts must be ignored.

In the same way, medicine has the hippocratic oath. It is "do no harm". It is not "find the cause" or "cure the patient".

It seems doctors have made their peace with this and are aligned with it, since the overwhelming majority 88% have do-not-resuscitate orders for themselves.
I agree with you on pretty much all your points here, I just think that for the kind of slice of life content that this “video essay” has an audience for, there just isn’t a similar audience for if it were a blog post. I guess the shift to a semi-professional approach to content creation of this sort is driven by content creators going where the audience is, which is overwhelmingly on the side of video. It’s just easier to build an audience on YouTube and support that with Patreon I suppose.

I think the kind of content you’re looking for is probably on Substack and its competitors, but the major benefit to consumers and competitive advantage of YouTube is the recommendation algorithm and built-in user base of people with a Google/ YouTube account.

A megalopolis isn't characterized by a placename and an airport. It's characterized by continuous development. You can drive from Ventura to Yucaipa to to Temecula to Rosarito Beach in Mexico, and the only time you'd need to get a mile away from of high-density development is 5 miles of I-15 in a mountain pass, or 10 miles of coastal highway, both to span the Santa Ana Mountains (property of the US Forest Service / Cleveland National Forest for the most part).

The Los Angeles Conurbation is about to swallow the northern Imperial Valley as well, because the I-10 corridor is made up of flat sandy dirt that could be a suburban back yard.

A Delaware Corporation has a duty to maximize shareholder value. That's the majority of all publicly held US corporations.

Nice study - but it forgets to "bill" urban areas for the energy used by mass transit, and it doesn't bill them for the extra energy it takes to provide services to them. Shipping things to urban areas whether to a house or a store takes far more energy than to a suburban area because you have to ship smaller quantities more frequently (due to lack of storage).

But this study doesn't include that.

It's really not hard to check for yourself: Compare the prices of some item in an urban store vs a suburban store - it's way cheaper out of the city. That extra cost is there because of the extra energy it takes.
I interpreted it as an omen of sorts. many dynasties believed plagues, natural disasters, famine were markers of decline.

ex) Dutch empire. There was a plague + ponzi finance bubble in the same decade. The gilder never recovered after this point began to steadily lose value and roughly 150 years later, Dutch empire was no more.
