I've seen this market in action. My dad had his car written off years ago and he bought it back the day after he got his payout. We just went to the yard where it was to be 'scrapped' and paid about 1/4 of the payout total to take it home. The only damage was to the side panels and bumper, so we replaced those ourselves and he still had a fair chunk of money left over.

The guy at the yard said any car without damage to the frame or drive train is likely to be picked up by a used car shop or private resellers who do the repairs themselves and flip them.

I was wondering if this would be carved up with exceptions, but it's actually rather strong comparable to what state laws we have had so far per [1]

> Like the repair rules passed in Minnesota last year, Colorado’s law notably covers data center and business-to-business equipment, only without Minnesota’s vague exclusion for “critical infrastructure” equipment.

> There are some exclusions, like game consoles (due to lobbying from game console manufacturers over piracy concerns), medical devices, ATVs, and motor vehicles, which are also typical for repair rules introduced in other states like California and New York. Like Oregon’s right-to-repair law, Colorado’s HB24-1121 explicitly prohibits electronics manufacturers from using “parts pairing” to prevent replacement components from working unless approved by company software.

This is what people are talking about when they say ACAB.

Such agents are highly regulated and their risks are known in-depth: essentially, never use them if you can help it, and if they were part of a military this could be considered a warcrime if used improperly, ie, against civilians; see the section in the "Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production, Stockpiling and Use of Chemical Weapons and on their Destruction" on incapacitants and riot control agents for further information.

Why the hell are random cops somewhere in the US training with weapons banned under international conventions? They aren't military personnel, they're civilians working for some smaller town in California. Charge them, try them, drop their asses in San Quentin, and inform genpop that they have esteemed guests.
I am pretty confident that this was not the only problem/algorithm that "distracted" Knuth during the years. You can see that whenever he encounters interesting issues he has no problem pausing the work on TAOCP and pursue other goals.
I believe the attention mechanism we use now was introduced in 2014 by Dzmitry Bahdanau, Kyunghyun Cho, and Yoshua Bengio in their paper titled "Neural Machine Translation by Jointly Learning to Align and Translate."

2014. It took almost a decade for the potential of this technique to be realized and come to the attention (heh) of most developers. I don't know what researchers are doing with Mamba and RWKV, but we should let them cook.

> But that's what makes a protest effective: it's inconvenient! Otherwise, the protest has no power to change anything.

Well that's kind of the point - protesters don't have the power to change anything based on physical inconvenience. The inconvenience is merely a PR effort because protesters don't have any more effective form of of PR - if people are famous/wealthy/powerful/etc. they have better forms of PR available.

The problem with some styles of protest is that they're asymmetrical in terms of damage. A relatively small number of people who get worked up enough can congregate in one location and indefinitely shut down the operations of a person/group/organization/government. At some point the legitimate governing body needs to enforce the functioning of society, or they'll lose the mandate to govern.

This reminds me of an idea I've been noodling on for a bit about my kids. I want them to be able to take more risks and be more independent - but counterintuitively, I think this means putting them in a safer environment.

For example, I'd be waaaay more comfortable letting my young kids (6yrs old) roam around outside the house if will lived in a safe suburb rather than a city. I think the same is true for this type of watch, I'd let them do more stuff at a younger age if I knew I could always get a hold of them and knew where they were.

Yeah, a bit of extra context is that the four months that I was talking to ServerCo also overlapped with my wedding and honeymoon last year. I would have pushed for a quicker decision, but I didn't want to be in serious negotiations about an acquisition at the same time as my wedding.

That said, when I talked to Chris at Quiet Light about how it played out with ServerCo, he said it was rare to see strategic acquisitions come together successfully at TinyPilot's scale. He suspected that because I approached ServerCo and acquisitions weren't on their mind at all, it just wasn't a priority for them, so that's why everything went so slowly.

You might want to look at the java aparapi project

Aparapi allows Java developers to take advantage of the compute power of GPU and APU devices by executing data parallel code fragments on the GPU rather than being confined to the local CPU. It does this by converting Java bytecode to OpenCL at runtime and executing on the GPU, if for any reason Aparapi can't execute on the GPU it will execute in a Java thread pool.

I think we’re in agreement.

I have my tires rotated and they check critical systems.

My point is that owning an EV has eliminated costly maintenance — and often repairs — associated with an internal combustion system and drive train.

Not only are these repairs costly, it’s annoying having to deal with shops trying to get you to fix things that aren’t even needed, or paying more than you really need to.

EVs have eliminated a lot of these costs, and shops have fewer repairs they can push on you.

> I doubt it because there's $BILLIONS in this market and everyone wants a piece of the AI cake, so it doesn't make sense to ignore promising methods.

I also doubt this result. The "why have $BILLIONS not already invested" question is interesting in its own right though. Generally, the literature on the theoretical bounds of swarm optimization is pertinent. Those $BILLIONS aren't being invested by a single omniscient entity, so they're subject to interesting constraints.

As one of many explanations, fragmentation is common. If $BILLIONS are split between greedy, mostly non-interacting entities (e.g., competing companies each trying to replace the transformer in a bounded number of hours and dollars while securing their market dominance), you expect, probabilistically, for each of them to converge on the same strateg(y/ies), especially if the "best" alternatives are obvious or globally known for some reason (e.g., some solutions intuitively feel "natural" or your researchers publish early results or you have employee movement between companies or whatever). Riskier strategies won't be touched, and you'll have $BILLIONS spent duplicating the same most likely alternatives when $MILLIONS would have sufficed.

The normal counterpoint is that a few big players dominate the spending, and they would have higher internal coordination. Interestingly though, they don't usually, except when that coordination would tend to enforce the same strategies smaller competition are pursuing. How often do you hear about stories like the misaligned Google+ integrations resulting in employee bonuses for poor customer experiences vs a forward-thinking executive actively devoting funds to a meaningful number of competing solutions? Approximately never. It's career suicide if you fail and depend on other people for your position, you _are_ actually more likely to outdo the competition with your increased resources if you just lean into the "best" alternatives, and for a whole host of reasons very few executives (except for people with real power) will coordinate a more comprehensive strategy, certainly not one orthogonal to the competition's just for the sake of allocating the global $BILLIONS more efficiently.

Separately (going back to the merits of the preprint), I'll probably read the full thing later, but a few points stuck out as suspicious on an initial skim. Notably, they seem to mix linear transformations in different domains. E.g., `xa` is linear in both `x` and `a`, and `vx` is linear in both `v` and `x`, but `xax` is _not_ linear in `x`, even if you try to "prove" that idea with `v = xa`. Linearity in `v` isn't enough to make the composition linear in `x`. A lot of their results seem to rely on eliminating those "redundant" computations, even though the things they're replacing with linear computations are actually higher order polynomials. On an initial skim, the other "novel" ideas also don't seem well grounded.

Their experimental results are decent. That could mean a lot of things (normally that the authors made more errors in their competitors' than in their own work), but it's probably worth looking into for a few hours despite my other complaints.
No, what you propose needs to "keep track of the date of last login for each account", so you need memory of the size of your user population. The idea is to perform it with much smaller, fixed amount of memory.
I really appreciate that the app is just an up front price! I probably don't really need it but at that price and straightforwardness it's not really a big loss if I don't use it much so I grabbed it. I looked at the other apps and realized they had made Halide as well which I tried out for a bit, for some reason thought it was subscription only & decided I didn't want it that much while clearing out subscriptions, and just (re)noticed they say you can buy it outright too. Initially I probably saw a high price tag and wanted to see how long I'd really like it for but going back into the app I can't seem to find the straightforward purchase option (perhaps because my initial year subscription hasn't expired?) which means I can't find how much it is without searching the net.

Perhaps I'm just uneducated and there is a place to still see it in the app with an active subscription or see the IAP price on the app store but even if there were it'd all just be a pain compared to "It's $9.99, wanna buy?" in your face at the app store and anywhere you read about it.

The only other (very minor) thing that gave me a startle was the onboarding process asks if you want to go "starter" or some other more advanced category. I thought I missed that it would try to upsell you until I reread and saw it meant I could select either layout type out of the box. Not sure that's really the apps fault as much as my paranoia after having just checked through all the above and being left thinking I missed something.

My partner is on one of the teams responsible for red tape and cost-cutting at Alphabet. After having frequent conversations about past failed projects, I'm surprised this project got the green light. Personally, I don't see this product taking off. As a parent, I think it looks quite lame, and I don't think anyone at Google knows how to break into product areas for kids. I've seen quite a few headlines concerned about Nvidia being the next Cisco, but as someone who has had family at both Cisco and Google over the last 30 years, I really think Alphabet is more likely to become the next Cisco, where middle-aged engineers go to work for 30 hours a week to keep the internet's backbone afloat.

For better or for worse the ship has definitely sailed on the laissez-faire "be home before sunset" parenting of past generations. Assuming that, its probably a net positive if a product like this can give a parent who would otherwise be full helicopter enough assurance to let their kid have more freedom and independence.

There are antibody tests to show if you've ever had it, and approximately how intense/active the infection is. Mild latent and recent past infection is hard to distinguish apart from an antibody test alone. Decreasing antibody concentration over time = fighting it off successfully, or past infection fading away (probably). Antibody tests like that aren't terribly expensive. (Well under $100 here in Canada if uninsured.)

Direct testing for the parasite's DNA in the cerebral-spinal fluid (yeah, a spinal tap sorry) is sensitive, too. Attempting to detect it elsewhere (blood, etc.) works but isn't as reliable. This is more expensive but sometimes used when unsure. Otherwise, in combination with that, it's diagnosed symptomatically. It shows up on a brain scan if the lesions get big enough, not to be alarmist.
Why though? In practice, humans don’t try to remember everything when they can use the internet and search for it.
