There is a lot of nuances to the issues I want to address, but you seem to be mistaking my fundamental goals. I don't want to "change" the housing market, or even build cheap houses.

If the market says the cheapest house in a market is $250k then that is my budget ceiling for equipment and materials, while all labor is provided by myself and any like-minded individuals in a similarly absurd situation. The 'difference' I would be making is the invisible-to-the-market value created by putting the cost of labor and any expected profits back into making the home a standing testament to human engineering.

There would be no marketing, no sales pitches, no brand or company associated with the construction of these homes. Simply going from place to place doing my best to make an insignificant difference at a societal scale and a silent but substantial difference to the families who eventually occupy those homes both now and in a hundred years.
Yeah there's discussion about this in scientific articles I've read, where at a certain point the social circle exists on these apps, and by a single individual removing themselves they are forced to effectively choose isolation.

I experienced it myself when I deleted instagram. I realized that certain friendships that had been thriving on that channel didn't flow as well outside it, via texting for example.

So I redownloaded and set a screen time limit and I'm calling that good enough.
Summer of 1982: The Making of Donkey Kong for the Atari 2600 (2020)
Zero value for you!

Some value for people that like to look at the product, have it in their hands, etc...the checking out part must be a local issue. As an opposite anecdote I have checked out at many Best Buy locations across the US and have never had a problem(even the shady ones). I actually love going to see some of the newer gadgets, but admittedly I have not made many big purchases there.

They also have a decent financing program(0% 24 months) that is great in these high interest rate times.

...I do love Microcenter though...and Fry's before it went out of business...now those places I could spend all day in.
This is a compiler. It's a compiler that executes at a weird time (during program startup), but it's a compiler nevertheless. It's exactly as secure, or not, as its input code and the runtime in which that code runs once compiled.

This isn't "code-gen" as in the xz debacle, where source code transformation was used to obfuscate malicious input. This is "code-gen" in a similar sense to what the JVM does at runtime, or what the Linux kernel does with BPF programs, or similar.

While compiler toolchains aren't exempt from security considerations (especially this one, in which failing to appropriately reverse-engineer the Go runtime can result in compiled code behaving as scarily as an evil library dlopen'd at runtime in C), they're a totally different class of tool/vulnerability from what was used to exploit xz.
Using complex custom binary encodings is an inefficient use of human's time.

It's error prone. The constraints are well known & optimized for. The binary protocol will also have people implementing their own, poorly. Where-as one can get piping hot SIMD optimized JSON encoder/decoders.

I'm not 100% JSON all the time. But this response strikes me as crufty neckbeardy shit that ignores the obvious & good & uses negativity to step on a pretty clear & straightforward path. Having use d-feet & busctl dozens of times in my life, it's miserable. The encoding scheme is terrible & unpleasant. JSON is an obvious counter reaction, to try to make some damned sense. Given that these bus capabilities are more control plane than data plane (but it's not a hard line), it's ok.
> Loud restaurants are damaging for the waitstaff's health. You can work for hours in an environment so loud that OSHA would demand hearing protection.

I should preface by saying that I have some existing tinnitus that developed from playing drums in rock bands in my 20's without proper ear protection. It's manageable and quiet enough that it can be largely ignored.

Recently I visited Las Vegas, and I ate at the well known restaurant Tao. It was so incredibly loud, for a sustained period of time, that it triggered the tinnitus in my left ear to such an extent that I was essentially deaf in my left ear the next morning. It gradually receded to loud ringing, and then was back to my "normal" level of tinnitus after a couple of weeks.

I guess I'll have to bring my own hearing protection to restaurants now. Kind of a sad state of affairs.
AI can lift climate research out of the lab and into the real world
This is a paper regarding a survey taken in 1978, with the super-biased sample of people who answer the survey solicitation via a magazine, sample size of ~50, everything self-reported/self-assessed.

So, a historical curiosity and some possibly-interesting ruminations by the author, not more. IMHO.
> and we received pre-qualification for an SBA loan

What does this mean? How does this work? Shouldn't the buyer take out the loan? Or does it look something like

- tinypilot takes out 600k, which you pocket

- you transfer ownership

- tinypilot is in debt, not the buyer

?
Rome polluted the water in Roman cities with lead. Modern civilization pollutes the water all over the world with lead then PFaS. Good job!
Their other apps are much older than 2 years and still have a buy-once model. This company has a good track record. (There is a subscription for some long-running services if I'm not mistaken.)
is there something like this but for DJI action 4/pocket 3 camera? doesn't seem like this app will run on iphone se
Nitpickiest of nits: given your intended description, the quotes should be around “rule” not “8 second”. When around “rule”, that implies it’s not really a rule. When around “8 second” it implies that it’s not 8 seconds exactly or it’s what it’s colloquially called, but it would still be a rule.

Regardless, the fair use laws are very loose and tend to vary depending on the medium type and association with product.

Anyway , I get what you’re saying but given it’s part of a product page, it should at the very least, call out that they’re illustrative and not actually associated.
Apple is also an advertising company.
Nice. And it's not even about the battery. BYD uses mostly lithium-iron phosphate batteries, which are cheap and safe but heavier than lithium-ion.

On the all-electric front, CATL has announced a battery with a 10 minute charge time for 600km.[1] It's an incremental improvement on lithium-iron phosphate batteries, not a new battery technology. CATL is the world's largest EV battery maker. They're from Ningde, close to the necessary minerals. So this is probably for real.

It seems OK as pictured in the article with a dedicated MUP on one side of the formation. There's probably no interchange design for this volume of traffic that will work all that well for pedestrians and cyclists, though.
This describes well something I've learned about myself. I just figured it was excessive focus, to the point of drowning out the outside world.
Agree, won't be easy -- he already has many peers with phones. But we have a lot of rules like that (e.g. no unsupervised YouTube use, wear helmets on the bike, etc) and he lives an otherwise well-provisioned life -- I think we'll work something out.
My guess is that Jose and the core team are both personally interested in the big wave of ML stuff we've been experiencing recently and also want to demonstrate that Elixir is a viable platform for doing this work to teams which have adopted Elixir and are interested in ML but don't want to add a bunch of Python into their codebase.
Either you didn't read the article or I don't understand what you mean.

Interesting definition of "protecting your privacy", which means: Sending location information remotely to a US-hosted centralized server + a third-party (the parents) can track you all the time
who what when where?

Please, don't confuse your misconception of what dragging the shutter speed would do in your day to day usage vs what professions do with long exposure.

Sure, adding motion blur is an effect one can achieve with long exposure. You need some extra things like ND filters to avoid over exposing, but that a technique someone is specifically looking to achieve. It's not a mistake from something my mom would do.

We've been using long exposure for things like light painting well before Apple/Google. We've been using long exposure for astrophotography for a long time as well. I still feel utter respect for Hubble et al night after night manually guiding the scope to keep the image in frame. In fact, the same frame of film would be exposed for multiple hours each night for multiple nights before finally being developed.

What you've associated things with in your mind does not mean the rest of the world only associates the same things in the same way.
agreed, it absolutely does
I just spent $2500 on a new computer and I bought all of the parts from Amazon rather than Best Buy.
Subaru CVTs tend to burn up a solenoid in the valve body. They are available for $30-40 on eBay and take about 3 hours to do for the first time.

Dealers charge $3000 for the job. They install all new valve bodies for about $1200, and for some reason want 8 hours for the job.

I helped a friend do it after watching some YouTube videos, and we just swapped the one bad solenoid. 20k miles later, 120k total, everything is fine.

The problem isn't always the cars even. It's the entire repair model.
Can buy a Airtag (or just a leash).
I was arguing against the right to fly a plane secretly or obscure its transponder code from public consumption, yes.

> So you'd equally have no concern at all if there was a publicly searchable registry of every flight that every passenger was taking on a commercial carrier?

There is a searchable registry of every flight already. The passenger thing is something you added that I never brought up.

> The roads are managed by government and funded by taxpayers: should there be a publicly searchable record of every vehicle movement on the roads as well?

Well the closest thing to an aircraft transponder is a license plate, and it's pretty well established case law that you have no right to obscure your license plate and that you have no right to privacy with regard to that license plate being recorded, being run by the police without cause or suspicion, etc. The fact that there isn't a publicly searchable record of automobile movements is simply because automobile movement isn't as strictly controlled as aircraft movement. If cars needed transponders in them and you needed a controller to give you permission to take an exit we'd have basically the same system for cars.
>This brings me to another topic: kids. I absolutely adore my kids. I love playing with them. I love taking them to the playground. I am so terrified around other people’s kids. Some kid needs help at a playground? Not getting any from me. I want to be nice to other kids, but I’m absolutely terrified someone is going to accuse me of trying to abduct them or something. I feel like a man being kind to kids other then his own is absolutely unacceptable today, and that makes me really sad.

I think being nice to your kid's friends is perfectly fine, they know you, their parents know you and they're most likely there with their kids. I have a kid and am friendly to my kid's friends and it has never been an issue.
"Opening a LUT file directly from an app will give you an option to open in Kino...even works in Messages!" - Anyone able to test how tapping on a .cube in iMessages opens in Kino? Last time I tried to code something like this, Messages is the holdout in not working properly.
This StackOverflow I found requires a QuickLook extension: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22826978/custom-extensio...
So does Kino open directly or is there 2 taps to open from iMessage?
Private jets are required to paint 12" high registration markings on both sides of their fuselage. Owner data is public record, although often obscured by holding corporations. The data used to contain SSNs if you can imagine it.

I'm unclear what jet aviation risk we are equating to hazmat ground transport. It's not raining aluminum very often, and it's a news frenzy when it does happen.

Every time I read "private jets should X" I can only ever boil it down to envy or "because I have the right to know", which I personally don't agree with. I seldom see things like "transporting that organ to its transplant patient via light jet is so carbon intensive -- why not use passenger aircraft cargo instead?" or other more nuanced takes.

For some, I imagine the opacity is worth the frightful cost of private aviation. I don't know what it is like to have millions of fans trying to figure out where I am at every waking moment, and the very idea is horrifying. I don't think any valid purpose is served by knowing where <star du jour>'s jet takes off from or lands at, and I don't think anyone is honestly looking skyward to FL410 and worrying about an aircraft part landing on them.

From other conversations about this topic, I thought it was interesting that the congresscritter who advanced the legislation is from the Bentonville AR region -- and crafty investors have tracked Walton jets to figure out where the high-level Walmart business meetings are happening, then making inferences about upcoming stock-moving deals. I thought that was fascinating. Humans are crafty, and humans with means who want privacy will find it, despite any number of laws passed. It all feels like wasted whack-a-mole effort to me.
Canada used to be a great country not that far in the past.
Yeah that sucks. The industry really screwed up those standards. The whole idea of a standard is that it's... Well standard. That it always works and you don't have to validate each device and firmware.

But for me voice is no longer a big deal. I do all my calls on WhatsApp anyway.
Dengue fever, once confined to the tropics, now threatens the U.S.
Costco has the smoothest return policy, and they sell Mac related devices as well.
Oh man, I wish the app was available on the iphone 15 pro too. I keep holding off buying that external HDMI monitor for the A7SIII, and that might be just the solution to keep the camera bag small...
And since then, the person on the call has revealed their identity. This was an SEO bro talking to an SEO bro about something they found on Github, not an insider leak.
Fitbit has been making smartwatches for like a decade. They've been making models specifically for kids before Google even bought them. It's the Fitbit Ace line. Why is continuing that product line something you're amazed by?

Like, the only reason you seem amazed is because you've made up an outrageous story about how the product came to be. Except you admit that you've just made it up and know very well it's not true, so presumably that's not driving your amazement.
I think we are crossing a boundary.

If our world gets so broken, that parents need this, we should start changing our world
To be fair, I don't understand watching sports either.
Your kids won’t appreciate it once they grow up and they found out later that their whole childhood been recorded and being used to train AI or even worse, a data breach, since they didn’t have the choice to opt in or out.
Sometimes car manufacturers overproduce and you can see giant fields of cars on satellite imagery.
I have no idea. But that wasn't the question I was answering. It was, "how does the article's author estimate that would cost $5000?" And I think that's how. Or at least, that gets to a number that's in the same ballpark as what the author was suggesting.

That said, first guess, if you do want to evaluate Cohere embeddings for a commercial application, using this dataset could be a decent basis for a lower-cost spike.

They have been around successfully selling apps with this business model for a lot longer than 2 years, why do you think they plan on changing it?
You can buy "skylights" that are essentially internally mirrored tubes that accomplish essentially the same thing. I don't believe they're super cheap right now, but I imagine they could be if they became more widely used.

I know someone who installed one in their bathroom and have been surprised at how well it works.
The brick and mortar store is probably just a loss leader for online shopping. I wouldn't be surprised if many locations closed down if they had to re-negotiate a lease in these times.
>GP is a partner and as such has an financial interest in the success of the fund

Sure there will be some stake attached to GP, that may be a national dollar or it may be more depending on structuring. We don't know either way. My point is based on knowing nothing more than he is a GP we can't conclude "he owned the OpenAI startup fund" which is verbatim what is being claimed in the article and what I objected to.

>how much upside they have depends on the partnership agreemen

...right which is what I meant with "some sort of carry or other compensation".
2 years is an eternity in the field of kids tracking devices. I sure wish it's supported for longer, but also don't expect to use it that much longer if there's a better device 2 years from now.

In particular you'll be paying a monthly subscription, so you'll still be paying the same price whether you stick to this device for 10 years or not.

On the Apple Watch it's a completely different proposition, in particular you absolutely need to pair to an active iPhone.
We can fire up WhatApp on desktop or tablet -- the constant access is the biggest issue I have with smartphones.
Every vehicle is fixable. When you replace your modern vehicle, someone buys it and fixes it and sells it for a profit.

I've had friends trade in $30k vehicles with problems for $15k and then be surprised when it's on the dealer website in 7 days for $30k fixed.
Google’s views on this could be quite interesting to hear.

Remember the (long ago) episode when Schmidt suggested that kids change their names to avoid connection with online antics in the past?
On graphene is so I'm unsure how well this could work...but I might recommend this to my family members that only buy iphones.

Question I do have though: is the purchase done through the app store or your website, and if its done via the app store or website, can I use it on as many of my own devices attached to the account? Or is it more of a 1 liscense per device?

Second: the presents you have sound nice and you mention that "Of course you can turn off Instant Grade to save the original Apple Log footage, allowing you the flexibility to change your look in our video reviewer. " does this support saving the original apple log footage, then opening that footage in the app and being able to preview how the different effects would look? And can I export the effected footage as a copy of the original that way I can have both the original and graded footage without overwriting the original data?
You can learn a lot of information from books. What upu can't get from a book is experience.

In this case you have a seller with no experience, and ultimately a buyer with no experience. In either situation a broker is valuable. In the case of both its an enormously important moderator who can keep both parties on track to a successful conclusion.

Book learning in such cases only gets you so far.
Great to know, thanks so much for the info!
They are a scourge and a tell-tale sign that we've grown far beyond excess and into absurd territory where more effort is spent on bending our minds to consume a thing that it took to make the thing in the first place.
And then when they finally break free they don't have any feedback mechanism that they had since childhood. This can go both ways. They might turn out to be model citizen or your worst nightmare.

I guess they can shift to Microcenter model at least at some percentage. Knowledgeable associates that actually help, selection of a wider variety of stuff that competes with online warehouse retailers.

They had an advantage after all the other electronics brick and mortar retailers cratered but they blew it away by dumbing everything down and making the store experience boring.
He would make a lot more money by staying at Google.

IDK, showed it to my 12 and 15 year old. It's a bit too "little kid" for them, but both of them would have liked it when they were younger.

You call it bullshit, but maybe you just aren't the target market?
It's privacy-protecting; their location will be private, only you can track them all the time, the apps installed, Google and their SREs, the US government if they want to (but they most likely need to ask), etc.
One of most useful utilities for the Mac.

Speaking of bezel hardware changes, people keep asking for the 13 to operate better while closed. I took a look inside my 13 and found that you could make a bezel with an indent or cutout on the hinge cover at the vent location and almost completely unblock the heatsink exhaust.

The only tradeoff I can think of besides inventory fragmentation would be appearance while open (no uniform bar the whole way across).

Not important for me personally, but it would make it a better option for those who use the laptop docked to a much larger screen perhaps with an eGPU.
So basically I, as an open source author, had my code eaten up by Mistral without my consent, but if I want to use their code model I’m subject to a bunch of restrictions that benefit their bottom line?

The problem these AI companies have is they live in a glass house and they can’t throw IP rocks around without breaking their own “your content is our training data” foundation.

They only reason I can think of that Google doesn’t go after OpenAI for scraping YouTube is then they’d put themselves in the same crosshairs, and may set a precedent they’d also be bound by.

Given the model is “on the web” I have the same rights as Mistral to use anything online however I want without regard for IP, right?

Utter absurdity.
I am like you, I have extremely sensitive hearing.

My solution to this problem is to carry on my keychain a pair of concert rated hearing protection earbuds. It's not a perfect solution, but you'd be surprised at how helpful it is to have some highs and lows filtered out.

Only downside beyond not being perfect, is people tend to think I put them in to block sound entirely. So I usually end up fielding questions about what they are, with a resulting 'man that's a smart idea'

You acted as though nobody knows who this guy is. I doubt that, but if it's true that is itself a problem, regardless of which bills he did or did not propose/ vote for/ etc and that was my point. You should know who your representative is, even if you vehemently disagree with them on most topics - a party in possibly distant DC is too big to get your head around, your representative is just a person, like you, and given how important their role is you should make sure you have some idea who they are.
