I think it's at least in part because you have to meet a whole lot of regulations to make a car street legal. You can start with a simple 3k vehicle, but by time you've made the changes needed to pass all the requirements it'll be over 10k.

It's worth noting that the majority of these regulations are at least nominally about safety.
While I'm also in the anti-touchscreen crowd (and depressed to hear that cost reduction is the core reason they've taken over), I think another reason might be that we've been promised for years that cars (EVs in particular) are on the cusp of a technological revolution.

Not just in terms of self-driving features, but also single-charge range and price. If you know next year's car is going to be significantly better - and at worst the same price - why would you buy a car this year?
No, most of that money was not direct payments to people. Infra, energy, chips, and other broad effect investments

More money in the economy means more inflation. You can take money out with taxes and slow non-govt debt based influx with interest rates (the fed's primary tool)

Yeah, I am playing a bit of devils advocate here. Things like glyptodon would have been easy targets in theory.

I do wonder if human processing of animals makes their bones more likely to find. Most of what we find about ancient humans comes from trash pits. Animals don’t always bring food to the same place, and scavengers can further distribute and decompose parts.

There have been cases of human bone caches made by animals, like in the Sauida Arabian lava tube. But that seems like a relatively ideal condition for long term preservation.
"In over thirty years of doing this, I have yet to see a single time where every device in the laptop worked properly right after the install. Never happened."

In 15 years I experienced it 2 times by chance. But yes, the battery life was probably still lower than on stock windows. But not having to fight your system, but bugs, is a different feel. I still cannot completely deactivate windows antivirus on my all the time offline laptop. Shit like this. If linux would reliably work out of the box, standards might change. But it is a long way, but I believe it can change. There is momentum (and Valve's engagement helped).

It seems to me that a deserter in the hands of the US military system was an asset that a) had undergone training, b) was on the action side of whatever ocean, c) must be made to understand that there were worse things than the front line. The retraining camps were brutal, I gather, but the only deserter convicted by a court martial and then shot, Eddie Slovik, had said outright that if returned to the line he would desert again.

And Joseph Heller was a veteran of WW II. The NY Times Magazine's issue for the 50th anniversary of VJ day included an essay by him. Some reservists were called back for Korea, but was he one of them?

Helping isn't measured by numbers of killed Nazis. It was about massive material support of the USSR so it was able to fight the aggressor and kill so many Nazis. The West enabled that.

Here, from the bigshots from USSR:

"Khrushchev went further and admitted: “Several times I heard Stalin acknowledge [Lend-Lease] within the small circle of people around him. He said that . . . if we had had to deal with Germany one-to-one we would not have been able to cope because we lost so much of our country.”"

"Perhaps the last word should be left to Marshal Georgy Zhukov, who masterminded the Red Army victories. He admitted, in a bugged conversation in 1963, that without Lend-Lease the USSR “could not have continued the war”."

I had a similar drinking habit as you. Beer is more interesting to drink with food than water is. But it’s still a bunch of alcohol for your liver to deal with so probably not great for it. Low/no alcohol beers have gotten pretty good in recent years and I switched to those. I’ll still have alcohol in social settings, just not at home anymore (or rather much much much less)

Any reason you would leave out that first part? Seems sort of relevant does it not?

"Also the russian language get supressed"

99% of Ukrainians can speak Russian. This is like saying that the English language is suppressed in Ireland because there are certain efforts around trying to prop up the native language after centuries of attempted extermination by the local colonial power.

"general russians are seen as enemies. Not just russian soldiers, but people with a russian cultural background. Nationalism in all its glory."

Russians are seen as enemies because all evidence suggests that they largely support, or at best do very little to oppose, the Russian state which invaded them, butcher and torture their countrymen.

I don’t follow any diet fads or protocols, and don’t do lc/hf as you are implying, other than avoiding processed food in favor of actual plants and animals. However, I am a competitive strength athlete, and do keep protein high when preparing for a competition- because I can directly measure the positive results in my performance. Carbs and fiber seem to be just as important- even sugar e.g. from fruit is a great fuel for replenishment of glycogen and reducing stress from intense exercise. I have friends that are masters strength athletes in their 70s and 80s and they have incredible quality of life for their age, simply because they are still strong and active.

I’ll take a look at the video, sounds interesting.
Bartender is the absolute best at what it did. I tried Jordan Baird's ICE but too much stuff was missing and I don't have as much time to hack as I did in years past. Shame that the dev sold out without warning.

Assuming that Homebrew doesn't get poisoned with a haxored version of Bartender, you can install a non-tainted version of Bartender from Homebrew by installing it from its formula URL.

Homebrew does not make it easy to do this, but it is possible:

brew unlink bartender
brew uninstall bartender
curl -sSLo /tmp/bartender.rb "https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/blob/ac7bd3c11799ce95a7057796e9d01db81796f381/Casks/b/bartender.rb"

There are a lot of people who simply don't understand the hydrologic cycle. They genuinely think water gets "used up".

Then there are those who think that just because water is in short supply in California, the same is true elsewhere.

Los Angeles gets around 15 inches of precipitation per year. Memphis gets around 55.

Then of course, Memphis is on the Mississippi River. A "million gallons a day" sounds like a lot to people who are bad at math and are impressed by a lot of zeros.

I couldn't find numbers for Memphis, specifically, but at Vicksburg, MS (not that far away) the Mississippi flow rate is around 5.7 million gallons per second.

Even if the water were actually getting used up (which you correctly point out isn't the case), 1 million gallons per day would only be around 0.000002 of the Mississippi's water.

It's a trivial amount. In fact it's much less than what could even be described as a trivial amount.

The whole "aquifer" argument is nonsense. No one is going to pay to use drinking water for cooling purposes when the Mississippi is right there.

The real issue here is that Musk has become the Emmanuel Goldstein du jour to a certain segment of the population, and thus must be constantly the focus of the Two Minutes Hate.

$3k-$4k cars, or enclosed golf carts?

In the first world, I'd say:

- the usual Big Government stuff (industry-specific regulatory, bureaucratic, & legal moats)

- brutal economies of scale for highly complex large manufactured goods

- public-good-doesn't-count-for-shit capitalism

That last one is especially brutal. If you could make $20K by selling one $80k SUV, vs. $20K by selling 100 $3k cars (each with a $200 profit) - then it's damned obvious which way you'd want to go. From marketing, to staffing your showrooms, to sales paperwork, to customer complaints, to the long-term legal and forced-recall liabilities - trying to sell the 100 affordable little cars is a 100X worse choice for you.
Yep. I can't prove it but I know it's true. Us humans have caused too much environmental harm to list, but here are the top hits:

- Chopped down all the trees on Easter Island

- Overharvested laserpicium in Cyrenaica (Libya)

- Hunted passenger pigeons to extinction

- Hunted bison nearly to extinction

- Overfished sardines off Monterey Bay California

Tragedy of the Commons is the default setting for most all of human history, while sustainability like ancient Japan and modern regulations in most countries are the exceptions. And, anthropogenic climate change is indirectly leading to untold mass extinctions on a global scale.
"Inherited" and "genetic" are not the same thing. Or rather, "genetic" vs "environment" are not two separate causes for things.

No, I disagree that these flips are just moody periodic “flips of a coin”. The target article explains very clearly WHY the flip. Here are the three main reasons:

1. An ascertainment bias that is built in to studies that recruit and compare “non-drinkers” to light drinkers. Non-drinkers may not be as inherently healthy as light drinkers. They may have had adverse effects earlier in their lives due to alcohol.

2. Since the 1970s most of NIH research has focused on alcoholism and alcohol abuse—-not on the epidemiologucal impact of drinking alcohol. These are entire distinct topics. Alcoholism is treated as a “disease” in the same way as other addictions. But a significant majority of drinkers are not alcoholics, and what is the impact on mortality of alcohol use on all types of age related diseases.

3. There was a long-term phantasy that resveratrol in red wine is responsible for the French paradox metabolic benefits. That gas been debunked for a decade but still lives in our brains as a zombie meme.

Can I please convert you into someone who summarily barks at people for making the LeCunn Fallacy rather than making the LeCunn Fallacy yourself?

And can you stop talking about AGI when it's not relevant to a conversation? Let's call that the AGI fallacy - the argument that a given development is worthless - despite actual technical improvements - because it's not AGI or supposedly can't lead to AGI.

It's a problem.

Every single paper on transformers has some low information comment to the effect of, "yeah, but this won't give us AGI because of the curse of LeCunn". The people making these comments never care about the actual improvement, and are never looking for improvements themselves. It becomes tiring to people, like yours truly :3, who do care about the work.

Let's look at the structure of the fallacy. You're sidestepping the "without a major redesign" in his quote. That turns his statement from a statement of impossibility into a much weaker statement saying that auto regressive models currently have a weakness. A weakness which could possibly be fixed by redesign, which LeCunn admits.

In fact this paper is a major redesign. It solves a parallelism problem, rather than the hallucination problem. But it still proves that major redesigns do sometimes solve major problems in the model.

There could easily arise a regressive model that allows progressive online updating from an external world model - that's all it takes to break LeCunn's curse. There's no reason to think the curse can't be broken by redesign.

Correct. I’m describing the era of anything-goes growth. Because, without exaggeration, anything went.

This was the pre-Xi CCP. A genuinely-effective meritocratic oligopoly. Now it’s a bog-standard dictatorship, with Chinese characteristics.

Also, good analogy. Corporations are mortal. States, theoretically, are not. The problem with dictatorship is it trades immortality for temporary stability. The deal with the devil is in the difficulty of swapping back.
Here's how Supreme Court justices earned money this year
One approach I like to consider, a Gedankenexperiment, is thinking about your local square mile and how were X number of dollars spent in this region on Y time frame, perhaps today, last year, this decade and their why. The square mile isn't a hard metric, it can be bigger if you're more rural or smaller if urban but one question I think is how were a million dollars moved in this region and how quickly? Who is spending money and why? Can these costs be improved and so on. It helps going on google maps and scouting out your area for businesses and figuring out how they stay afloat and their why. If you want to integrate AI into the mix, you can bounce ideas off GPT-4 to play as devil advocate to see if the movement here makes sense and how it might play out in the future.
