Kind of like the words “good” or “bad”, or “smart”, or “ugly”, or a million other subjective, contextual ideas?

Well, as an Amsterdam resident, I would not go as far as to describe Paris as a cyclist's paradise, but the recent pedestrian/cycle-friendly road repurposing has definitely improved the city, pretty much for everyone, as far as I can tell.

Now, let's just hope the local cyclists don't adopt the same combative attitude as, say, those in Amsterdam, or the many, many remaining motorists on La Periferie...
You really have to think of Vulkan on PCs and Vulkan on mobile as separate things, if you only care about running on the former then you can easily count on things like dynamic rendering always being available as long as your users drivers are up to date. If you need to target Android though, my condolences.
I'm not arguing against the results his businesses achieve, I'm arguing against the incessant drive for hero worship which ascribes those successes to him and him alone.

>What he brings to the table apart from money is an absolutely bull-headed madcap drive to make the infeasible into reality in the face of a chorus of naysayers, and that, I respect.

This is exactly my point. Elon didn't make the infeasible into reality, other people did, and could have done without him. And if his behavior at Twitter and Tesla are any indication, his "absolutely bull-headed madcap drive" has to be managed and worked around lest it do more harm than good.
I think there are qualitative differences that arise from incremental, quantitative changes in privacy.

Sure, in the 1970s the cops could follow you around any time you were out in public. But they needed 6+ cops to provide round-the-clock surveillance, with an annual cost in the high six figures.

So the average citizen's privacy was protected not by law or high-minded ideals about privacy, but by simple numbers. There weren't enough cops to follow even 0.1% of the population.

But in the modern age of smartphones and license plate recognition and credit reference agencies? I think there's a strong argument to be made that we need new laws and new rights to reflect the new reality, where tracking people around the clock is several orders of magnitude cheaper.

There's quite a lot of other constraints too. Lots of goods aren't allowed to sit side-by-side, for example, anything explosive goods cannot sit within n containers of hazardous chemicals. Because goods codification is so low-fidelity, lots of things which aren't actually explosive/hazardous can't be stored in close proximity, because we can't differentiate them from things which are actually hazardous/explosive.

You would have to perjure yourself on your yearly registration, when you get emissions testing you would need the tech to perjure themselves, and if you go to any mechanic that reports the mileage to the state (which some do, depending on the state) you would need them to perjure themselves too.

> Tweak the odometer and set it to 50k, sell the car

If the most recent registration says 150k and then you tweak it to 50k and try and transfer the title, the state is going to reject the application for title transfer outright. You may be charged with odometer fraud.

Well, that's the first time I've seen cubic miles used as a unit. For reference it's about 4.4e19 litres or 4.4e16 cubic metres.
> Most people don't do anything worth privacy protecting.

This is true of many fundamental rights. Most people don't say anything worth speech protecting either. The catch is that when you do need to say something worth saying or do something worth privacy protecting if the right wasn't there all along you're kind of screwed.
> Bit of a coincidence?

On the balance of probabilities and with plenty of evidence of the first human infections being in the market and absent any evidence whatsoever of the first infections being in the lab then, yes, absolutely, just a coincidence.

These viruses are always mutating, in situ, and the fact other coronaviruses have these sites means it’s only a matter of time and iterations before one of these sarbecoviruses both develops the mutation and infects a human host, given proximity between bats / pangolins / civet cats + humans. That wet market was, effectively, trying to create and release this thing millions of times a day, way faster than any lab could hope to do the former, and way more often than any lab would accidentally attempt the latter.

The entire reason anyone would be interested in trying it in a lab is to see if that, again more or less inevitable, wild mutation would actually be a problem for humans. It very likely would be, hence the interest in finding out… but absent evidence of both intentional genomic intervention and a vector of release (and you are very absent evidence of either) that interest correlation very much does not equal any substantive reason to believe in a causation event.

You don’t have a smoking gun. You don’t have a gun. You don’t have smoke.

Everyone have their own rational ratio of how much should be allocated for space (or any blue sky research). For example I'd oppose my country funding a moon landing, not only because my country have GDP per capita 20 times less than USA, also because trust in central government capability is low af.

USA itself may be much much richer and more capable, but it just means there'll still be rational limit, but higher.
The merging of RAM and VRAM has made Macs particularly useful for running models locally and they were the first to do it, which isn't Apple's typical MO. Also, Apple's policy of not rolling out products until they are ready has already proven to be the right approach (see Google's disastrous Gemini releases or the negative responses to Microsoft's Lookback and Copilot announcements).

That seems to be the Silicon Valley investment paradigm. Needed for attracting VC money. Otherwise, the users never gave a sh*t about those, they still don't. The rest of the tech world did not operate under such a paradigm either. I also suspect that it will also end in SV as the zero interest economy ended and the investment landscape changed. Now profitability is being valued instead of unprofitable infinite growth that may or may not be profitable in the future.
This is such an odd argument; it's like asking how many airports there were in 1904.

While the experiment is certainly cool, it should be pointed out that this is not a passive process and the demonstration needed a femtosecond laser operating at 830nm with an average power of 10mW. While it might be possible to make integrated lasers with those properties in the future currently they use a Ti:Saphire laser which occupies a space of about 1.5m x 30cm x 30 cm. So clearly not portable.

The feudal laws of mostly Western Europe. Eastern serfdom has been much worse and much closer to slavery, however the serfs still had their house and share from the crops. The eastern European feudal lords, dukes, kings or emperors never had access to this much share of the wealth like ordinary billionaires today do.

I wouldn’t even look at startups if there is a viable open source alternative. Most startups are just looking to get a big enough user base to get bought by the big players.

> and has more powerful peripherals.

I severely doubt that. On a G0?

AVR DB has 3x OpAmps. AVR EA and AVR EB have a x16 gain differential amplifier on the ADC (!!!).

The peripherals on the AVR Dx and AVR Ex series are just out-of-this-world good. And unlike ESP32, the ADC has good linear qualities and reasonable accuracy.

------

Even the "runt" of the bunch, the AVR DD (fewest features / cheapest price) has an Event System and Programmable Logic. You get ~4x 3-LUTs + 2x 1-bit memory that can perform operations on your inputs before the AVR Core/CPU even wakes up.

In fact, there's a sample demo of AVR Programmable Logic + AVR Event System (which is a "router" to tie inputs and outputs more flexibly. Its not a perfect router but its better than nothing) + ties it to AVR Timers, so that a quadrature-encoder could be offloaded outside of the core. https://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/AppNotes/00002434A.pd...

--------

STM32 G0-series is somewhat comparable to AVR DD in that the STM32 G0-series is "barebones". But the AVR DD's "barebones" has more features than STM32 G-series.

Now STM32 G0 has a lot more SRAM and MHz. But peripherals? Peripherals is where the PIC and AVR series shines. The only competitor to peripherals is like... TI's new MSP M0 line (which also ships with 1 to 3 OpAmps... zero-drift / chopper OpAmps to boot).

If you want a comparable 32-bit processor, I'd go to TI MSP M0 (also ARM but TI is adding an event-system, OpAmps, and other nice low-level peripherals that are familiar to the AVR Dx users)

--------

STM32 does have OpAmps / Event Systems and all that good stuff. But they're locked to the more expensive G4 series.

-------

Ultimately, STM32 and AVR Dx aren't competing in the same league. AVR Dx is more of a competitor to your I2C ADCs or simple logic (now that AVR Dx and Ex have Four 3-LUTs, you have a surprising amount of glue-logic available that can take the place of old 7xxx chips).

PIC and AVR core sucks. Its all about the peripherals. (Well.... AVR and PIC are also absurdly power-efficient. In part because of how well designed the peripherals are)

English. As mandated by the church. The rest of the feudal domains, while varied and some were much more brutal, also had the same setup in which the serfs were entitled to their share of the crop. So the point was and still is valid: Never in history a minority controlled this much of the world's wealth like the billionaires do today, including kings and emperors.

FinTral: A Family of GPT-4 Level Multimodal Financial Large Language Models
We introduce FinTral, a suite of state-of-the-art multimodal large language models (LLMs) built upon the Mistral-7b model and tailored for financial analysis. FinTral integrates textual, numerical, tabular, and image data. We enhance FinTral with domain-specific pretraining, instruction fine-tuning, and RLAIF training by exploiting a large collection of textual and visual datasets we curate for this work. We also introduce an extensive benchmark featuring nine tasks and 25 datasets for evaluation, including hallucinations in the financial domain. Our FinTral model trained with direct preference optimization employing advanced Tools and Retrieval methods, dubbed FinTral-DPO-T&R, demonstrates an exceptional zero-shot performance. It outperforms ChatGPT-3.5 in all tasks and surpasses GPT-4 in five out of nine tasks, marking a significant advancement in AI-driven financial technology. We also demonstrate that FinTral has the potential to excel in real-time analysis and decision-making in diverse financial contexts.
> only supported on about 28% of reports.

This information is misleading because it includes old reports from years ago, before this feature existed. It does NOT mean that 28% of devices out there have support. You will need Steam hardware survey results and cross reference gpuinfo.org or Android hardware survey results which directly list Vulkan versions.

Dynamic rendering is available on all desktop GPUs (Intel, NV, AMD), on all desktop OSes (Windows, Macos, Linux) as long as you've got drivers that are up to date (no older than 2023).

I think the law is not the same thing as morality.

I fully understand that we make moral decisions based on circumstances. You brought up Sapolsky, who is basically a determinist, and I agree with him on the science.

What I am rejecting is the moral relativism. As more is understood about psychology and biochemistry, some people seem inclined to change the expectation for moral behavior based on these factors. Some people would be inclined to give the punishers a pass in the prison experiment because power corrupts. This is where I disagree.

"everyone was doing it" doesn't make bad behavior good, nor does the complex biochemistry around missing breakfast.

>Now. Is that right? Is that fair? Probably not.

Im not sure what this is in reference to. I think fairness has very little to do with moral judgement. Its not fair if someone was born in circumstances that turn them into a murderer, but someone else's circumstance lead them to a life of charity. This unfairness in circumstance does not make the murderer a moral person.

Circumstance can create immoral people and circumstances are unfair.

>the allure of power, the wanting of it, leads to corruption or at least gives us some indication that that abuse is possible and that we should be vigilant.

If you think circumstance excuses bad behavior, why be vigilant?

Columbus very very much didn't plan to die (though he very much would have if he didn't get lucky that there was a whole new continent there). His plan was to land in India, which he thought he would reach around the time he actually reached the new continent, because he had a completely wrong idea of how large the globe actually was (he alone had this wrong idea; the actual circumference of the globe was pretty well understood by this point).

In general, human-based space exploration makes 0 sense. We have robots that can do everything a human in a life-support suit can, and don't need to carry 100 times their mass just to not day on the way there and back. Doing a few experiments with humans in space, like we do on the ISS, is indeed worth it for exploring the unknown unknowns of biology. Maybe some day, far in the future after we have explored Mars with many hundreds of robots, it will even make sense to send a human there. But until then, it's just a waste of everything.

There is little IR light around, compared to visible light.

It's not only about cost per kg but also maximum payload mass. If you can build bigger satellites then you don't need to optimize for weight as hard and can use cheaper components/standardize. Which means both launch cost and sat costs will come down.
Regardless of how long life has evolved on land, our eyes are filled with (mostly) water - so any frequencies that can't pass through water would be scattered and absorbed by the goop inside of your eyeball.
