Tesla is definitely at fault here, but in my experience, when camera visibility is very poor (only a few meters ahead), the driver's visibility is even worse. I've been in situations with heavy rain where I couldn't see more than a few meters ahead, yet the front camera's recording showed more than what I could see with my own eyes.

Though I did misremember, it's specifically about international courts prosecuting service members and officials. Which, or course, in this case would certainly apply.

>It does

Interesting, I did not know that. In that case it does surprise me that the ICC went ahead and tried to take action against Israel.

Perhaps the fact that Israel has very few allies and too many enemies to use them against most ICC members helps.

That’s redefining democracy to the extent it excludes Athens. The term you may be looking for is a liberal democracy, or more precisely universal suffrage.
Right, but that's $25m in R&D investment. Much better than $6m in cost of good/services delivered!

I think that when you put yourself in the mindset of writing something with the intent of facilitating discussion you're at times drawn toward making inferior content to satisfy an imaginary person (or group of people). Some people are good at it! I don't really get into it, as everything I write is personally-driven.

"hundreds of billions of dollars burned by space-billionaires" is what I was replying to. It would be more serious if the "burning resources" in the original comment's first paragraph meant fossil fuels, for example. Non-renewable things. Their second paragraph clarifies that they mean money (and not even taxpayer's money in their comment), which isn't burned.

That is a question, not the thing I was replying to.

Your argument is more akin to calling South Africa a majoritarian democracy after it passed the Bantu Homelands Citizenship Act, imo. By the rules of the 1948 partition (prior to 1948 which side you are living on determines your citizenship), close to a majority of people today living in Gaza or West Bank would be Israeli-side citizens. Post-facto stripping of the partition rights so that only a minority are considered citizens does not make you a majoritarian democracy.

I'm aware that Athens is classically considered a democracy, I just think that view should be complicated from a modern perspective (and even contemporaries described Athens as a democracy in name only).

It's frustrating that there isn't an easy way to see the "canonical" value and format of a cell (in Sheets or Excel).

Just looking at a cell, it's not trivial to see if it's the number 1 or the string 1 (you can enter text by using a leading apostrophe, but that's not the only way to get text in a cell!). Numbers and strings have different alignments by default, but that can be overridden. The numeric value of the string 1 is 0 if you're using the SUM formula, but it's 1 if you use +. In other words, =A1+A2 does not necessarily equal =SUM(A1:A2)

Then you can format numbers however you like. For example, dates are stored in spreadsheets as days since an epoch (not the Unix epoch). So you can have the number 2 in a spreadsheet cell, then format it as a date, but just the day of the month, and it can appear as 1.

There's rounding, which bit you. 0.95 can appear as 1 if you display fewer decimal places.

Finally, there's the fact that the calculation is done like IEEE 754. Programmers are used to floating point numbers and the fact that properties like associativity don't apply, but that's not obvious to everyone.
Here's an easy way.

> triple the training

From what I understand, not quite. It looks like the cost of training might be similar, but less parallelisable within a specific token sequence. This is because they have to compute the KV of token T before they can use it in T+1 whereas in a regular training process you can compute the KV at each layer for every subsequence. You're right that it took 2.7x longer to train the smallest model but I wouldn't be surprised if the GPU utilisation was proportionally lower too.
These types of comments are unhelpful. The expectations on the driver are getting vaguer and vaguer. Can't drive in damp weather? Yet it's Full Self Driving? Tesla wants to market it as powerful AI but leave all responsibility with the driver, don't encourage that narrative.
My favorite OCs were a $250 Black Friday special Celeron laptop that I pin-modded using a few-mm long piece of a single strand of stranded cat5 to go from (IIRC) 1.5Ghz to 2.0Ghz by just shorting two pins on the socket under the CPU, and a 4.6ghz (3.3-3.7ghz stock) Sandy Bridge i5-2500k that was rock-solid on air cooling with a comically large (especially at the time) tower cooler. That latter desktop ran the heck out of Team Fortress 2 (which I still play at least once a week with one of the last remaining community servers, End of the Line Gaming) for many many years.
The fallback is the driver doesn't let it drive at 60 mph up to 50 feet from a train blocking the road.
I've been pretty happy with the ADAS system on my Mercedes E-Class. Over time I've learned what it does well and what it doesn't do well. But yes, of course, hands on the wheel 100% of the time, same amount of attention as if I were driving fully manually.

I see it as mainly a way to avoid leg/foot fatigue, especially in heavier traffic, and also as a sort of backup. I think of myself still as the "primary system", but the ADAS will help me stay in lane if I get distracted on a long drive, or if I don't notice the car in front of my braking hard. I haven't needed it to save me from anything (yet, knock on wood), but it's nice to have it there.

It is absolutely bonkers to me that some people think these sorts of systems allow them to not pay attention, take their hands off the wheel, do things on their phones, etc. Even Tesla's so-called "FSD" (with the scariest of scare quotes) isn't an excuse for that sort of thing.
Yes. Sonic is not currently selling AT&T at all anymore as a new service, but we have existing customers on that product which can continue to use it. Where we are currently selling fiber, in much of the bay area and in Los Angeles now, it's our own product. Also, the vast majority of our current customers are on our own product and not resold AT&T fiber or any resold service from another provider.
If a country were run like ancient Athens today, nobody would consider it a democracy. We are talking about "democracy" in its modern meaning, not the regimes that used that term in a completely different way thousands of years ago.
You can still do escape analysis. You wouldn't even need to be very advanced with it since most code won't do anything close to modifying and expression that's in the process of evaluating.

Tesla has said they're moving to 48v for "all future vehicles". So my assumption is whenever their existing models get a big change-up, 48v will be part of that change-up. I doubt they're going to switch e.g. Model 3 to 48v starting next year or anything unless there's some compelling cost cutting reason to do so.

They're also using it for their humanoid robot

There were some suggestions in the past that the US’s unbridled support for Israel is harmful to the long term interests of Israel. Over the years I’ve seen less and less intelligent arguments coming from Israeli leadership, particularly in a world where smartphones can turn any citizen into a reporter.

Some days it is apparent that the wrath meted upon the Palestinians has turned into bloodlust. While I understand the grief and anger following such a massacre, there has long been a pattern of wilfully misplaced reaction against stone throwing kids and targeting of journalists and their families. These cannot be attributed to Oct 7.

Now with Israeli funds making its way back to US politics, the crazier the politician the better his chances. With time, the benevolence of the US will be questioned by their allies and make the world a less predictable place.
Another team's product at our company runs inside a Kubernetes cluster which consists of lots of microservices. CPU's are at 80% all the time. Redis, RabbitMQ, MySQL, Elastic Search etc. There's no number crunching, mostly CRUD with some business logic on top. It requires a separate operations team to manage it (otherwise this goldberg machine easily explodes).

A few days ago I asked our ops team, what's our rps? ~500. Out of curiosity, I ran a few benchmarks to stress test my monolithic pet project in Go with a single DB for everything and it easily handled 15k/s on my home computer, too, without any special optimizations. I understand its load is totally different from our production server, and my benchmark is most likely flawed, but the order of magnitude of difference is interesting.

I was told the production cluster also has additional 500 rps just for communication between the microservices. I suspect there's just too much overhead in their setup: communication between services, serialization of data between different DBs, etc. If it was a single modular monolith with a single DB, I suspect it could be faster and easier to maintain... Another issue is that they also sell it as an on-premise solution. And with the complexity growing, it now often fails to run on clients' infra.
Interesting how anything related to Tesla never lasts more than a few minutes on the front page.
The initial resemblance really just comes down to 2 fairly pragmatic design decisions. We’ll use 2 side solid propellant boosters and we won’t redesign them from scratch because they work. And, we’ll use the same foam insulation on the rocket that we used on the STS liquid propellant tank because it also works…furthermore, we won’t try to paint over the orange insulation because we know that that doesn’t work very well.

Each level up increases the concentration of toxin because the n-th level is eating the (n-1) level which has a higher concentration than the (n-2) level that the (n-1) ate.

Similarly, if we posit that all else being equal [1] a sociopath is more likely to go up a hierarchical level, then the nth level is promoted from the n-1 level that is more sociopathic than the n-2.

I also believe that presidential democracies are more prone to this concentration of sociopaths because voting the higher offices is more divorced from the voter (ie you dont know who you are voting for personally and are more easily mislead). Parliamentary (or congressional seats) democracy is more resistant to psychos. Monarchies are immune (except for genetic inheritance), but of course come with their own set of problems.

[1] a similar assumption is made for toxins.

Rumour has it (not sure if this was ever confirmed) that one of the big reasons the second Xbox was called the Xbox 360 was to avoid unfavourable number comparisons with Sony. The Xbox launched vs the PS2, which meant the "Xbox 2" would compete against the PS3. As 3 is bigger than 2, it would make the second Xbox look bad. Hence, Xbox 360. Both have a 3, no number issues. For what it's worth, Robbie Bach (former Chief Xbox Officer) is on the record as saying one of the potential names for the second Xbox was just "Xbox 3" to catch up the PS3.

While officially the meaning of the "Xbox One" name was something about it being an all-in-one entertainment system, I would put money on it being chosen as some kind of subliminal naming scheme as it sounds like "Xbox Won".

If this was October 2023, sure. I'd agree with you. The problem is that, as the war has continued, Israel has engaged in a number of actions that, depending on how you spin it, are either catastrophic fuck-ups or deliberate attempts to starve out Gaza, including bombing a humanitarian aid convoy.

Furthermore, there's no way in hell Netanyahu gets his endgame (wiping Hamas off the face of the planet) without either exterminating all Palestinians in Gaza (which absolutely is a war crime, orders or no) or significantly backing down on several of the things Israel does to Palestine to make it mad. He also has no reason to simply snipe some of the higher-ups, patch up the holes in the Iron Dome, and declare victory. Netanyahu needs the war to continue so he can continue delaying his corruption trial long enough to declare himself above the law with a judicial reform.

To be clear, yes, Israel is more western and more liberal than Palestine, but that gap is closing faster than I think anyone would like to admit.

>In addition, why doesn't the ICC look into Egypt's conduct of refusing to allow civilians to flee from this conflict?

Because countries do not recognize migration as a human right. If the ICC did this and was consistent about it, they'd have to challenge basically every restrictive immigration policy ever. I'd personally love that, but given how many countries in the EU are making handbrake turns to the right wing specifically so they never have to take in another refugee ever again[2], the EU would rather just invade the Hague like Bush threatened to.

Furthermore, (one of) the reason(s) why the 'three state solution'[3] never really panned out is because Egypt and Jordan don't want to become hosts for further revaunchism. Hamas will set up shop in their new home and Israel will just invade them - like they did in the Yom Kippur War. For similar reasons Israel has never wanted to entertain the 'one state solution'[1] that would also have solved this conflict decades ago, because they (mostly correctly) think Hamas will never be satisfied until Palestine extends from the border to the sea and all the Jews have been deported.

[1] Just abolish the Palestine/Israel border and let people live and work wherever

[2] Which, to be clear, is also a travesty.

Union Law in a lot of "Europe" (a broad term so very dependent country to country) is much less adversarial with businesses than in the US.

At least in Western Europe, the big Unions won't fight tooth and nail over mass layoffs (eg. Volvo in 2009-12 Sweden versus GM in 2009-12 US) and make it a major political issue, as the Union Leadership has larger ambitions beyond their Union.

A lot of this seems to stem from the influence National Syndicalism had on most European unions in the 20th century compared to traditional Syndicalism in the US+UK in the 20th century.

The segment of the international community that matters is fully on board with Israel's existence. The largest country to not formally recognize Israel is Indonesia. Largely only Iran is intransigent about Israel's nonexistence; the Arab countries have in the recent past explicitly endorsed proposals to recognize Israel in exchange for durable progress on Palestinian statehood.

(Which, really, is one of the principal causes of the current situation: Netanyahu has in the past sought to undermine the ability of the Palestinian Authority to effectively govern Palestine--including covert support for Hamas--so as to be able to claim that there's no partner for peace to avoid having to make any progress on the statehood issue.)
