Well, that would certainly be unique for a place like that. Let's see if it actually gets built.
Is your argument that because AI can’t currently do the arbitrary things you wish it would do, it is therefore bullshit?

This perspective discounts two important things:

1. All the things it can obviously do very well today

2. Future advancements to the tech (billions are pouring in, but this takes time to manifest in prod)

I’m trying not to be one of the “guys” you’re talking about, but I just can’t comprehend your take. Do you not recognize that there is utility to current models? What makes it all bullshit?

> That logic also applies to demand. Why would you buy a house if someone can waltz in and...

The clear answer is you'd buy one if you know how to handle squatters. In other words, you are well connected and have enough capital to take preventive measures described in the article.

In other words, rich can get richer by having lengthy security apparatus to protect their property. Middle class investors, who might want to buy an extra house to have a stream of income from rents gets that ladder pulled away from them.

One might believe that renting itself should not exist and making money from housing is immoral. If so, let's pull that ladder away from everyone including the rich (though that won't end well since not everyone can be a homeowner).
It still feels like he grossly inflated the price, but the laws are different in the UK. Still feels crooked to me.
I mean of course Mars colonization is crazy. Being skeptical is reasonable, even Musk himself is skeptical and gives it a low chance of success. But we know for sure we will not get there if we don't try.

That the ship in principle is capable of landing on Mars doesn't seem that crazy. They are designing with that in mind from the beginning. Again, that's difficult but very possible with current technology.

The more difficult problem would get to get the energy on Mars and the necessary water to do the chemical processing. But all of that of course is only even worth really investing in fully if you can get some significant payloads to the surface.
No, you just claimed one comment ago that "no one is arguing" that. Don't make those kinds of assertions in a situation when you know full well someone in this very thread is likely to do it.
I’m always confused by single retail businesses trying to sell data (completely different story for financial institutions, airlines, ISPs, etc). I’m not sure what I could but at Costco (excluding the pharmacy) that would be remotely relevant to somebody?

What am I missing?
Based on your definition, theft of indigenous land would be fine since there were no property laws to violate.

Yet it was not fine.

That's because theft is a violation of universal moral laws. Everyone knows it is wrong. Justifying it is an immoral barbarism.
> Again, the comment you responded to explains

This kind of thing baffles me. Im telling what is happening here. A guy on the internet refers to another on the internet who 'explains' to me that what is happening where I am in the actual reality is not real.

That's literally crazy. It feels like you people are preaching. Against the reality.
The headline is a little misleading because the article explains it already is open source, which nobody knew until now:

For some reason HP has always had those god awful links that look like the average phishing scam link. I think their docs and even the main website used to have a similar URL pattern at some point.

Is there a TL;DR? Briefly scanning the reuters link I saw no "scandal" or anything really new and of actual interest, and trying to briefly scan this... stuff... only yields for me that "In the mid-20th century, scientists began noticing that the number of fish in the ocean" (here I stopped).

> Making renting riskier doesn't inherently make property less expensive

It did that here.

> A more likely outcome

You are literally making up stuff and preaching a false reality as you go. No wonder how the US housing market got shafted - seeing what kind of mentality you people subscribe to.
Care to fill us in?
Not true. I have a PC (Dell OptiPlex 7040 SFF) with TPM 2.0 and a CPU (i7-6700) that's definitely not on the supported CPU list, which, for Intel Core CPUs, seems to literally be "number greater than or equal to 8000".

If this is not true, what CPU features do the supported ix-8xxx "Kaby Lake R" and "Kaby Lake G" processors have that the unsupported ix-7xxx "Kaby Lake" processors lack?

The fact that the current supported CPU list for Windows 7[1] excludes all fourth generation and earlier Intel Core CPUs leads me to believe that these lists aren't derived from feature requirements alone, unless Windows 7 requires features that first became available with CPUs released in 2014.

Maybe next time you could do some research before making a bunch of claims.

> The one way trip to mars is orders of magnitude more complicated than moon.

From an energy perspective its not that much more complex.

And from a living perspective, yes it is an order of magnitude, but guess what, the ship is also an order of magnitude bigger. Meaning that for a small crew you have enough space for training rooms, labs, living quarters and medical facilities and so on.

> Keeping people from being riddled with cancer in 6months trip is not trivial.

That's mostly wrong. The cosmic radiation isn't much of a problem.

The only issue is the solar radiation. And solar radiation is very low most of the time. That can be measured and if its detected, the crew can go into a radiation shelter for a while.

But its not like if they are exposed to solar radiation for a few minutes, they will grow cancers instantly.

> Landing and then what you plan a flag and die?

No. the plan is to send robotic ships first to deploy infrastructure. The atmosphere has useful stuff in it. And then you need to get water from the ice. With water and the atmosphere you can make rocket fuel and other useful materials, such as drinking water, plastics and so on.

Of course that requires development of methods to gather water and of course development of chemical or biological reactors to transform the material. We are pretty sure we can build that stuff technically speaking.

The other big issue is energy to run these processes. We either need a shit ton of solar or a deploy-able nuclear reactors.

Then you wait until the earth comes back around and fly back. And hopefully other people are arriving again. So you can continuously have an occupied base that you are building up over time.

The whole point of what SpaceX is trying to build is a railroad to Mars. The opposite of flags and footprints.
Larger buildings are usually pretty good at handling seismic activity. When I was growing up in California they taught this in the occasional earthquake safety classes. Parking structures though are HORRIBLE. They fold up like an accordion.

im always kinda skeptical of these evolutionary game theory type theories when applying them to modern developed societies. Maybe they were true in the past, but we have largely removed ourselves from natural selection in any of the traditional ways. It doesn't mean there arent other game selection mechanisms, but they're likely very different to 1000s of years ago. Like, for example broadly no-one is having their kids all starve to death in modern japan.

> tend to get smaller over time

That's not accurate. In fact, currently the industry is going in the opposite direction.

The new space revolution start with cube sats and have now grown bigger. Starlink is the best example. Their v1 sats were small, v1.5 are bigger and v2 are even bigger.

There is lots of investment into bigger buses currently. K2 for example.
Ad markets are horribly inefficient / thin on info, even in the efficient case*, that its absolute solid gold to know that ex. you purchased baby formula once a week for the last 6 weeks.

And then there's tornadoes. How compatible are uber-tall buildings with those kind of storms?
That isn't a loophole, it is an interpretation. It isn't possible to have laws without an assumption that a reasonable person is interpreting them (which is 95% of the reasons why judges are involved).

But we know that the interpretation phase has a lot of wiggle room (the US constitution is a regular parade of this sort of thing - the Roe v. Wade fight or the abuse of the commerce clause for example). When they go bad these things aren't loopholes as much as they are just ignoring the written law with a polite fiction and it is up to different interest groups to work out where the power lies to get what they want. Political reality vs. the theoretical rule of law ideal.

But that is necessarily independent of what is written in the law itself. If a group has enough power to overrule the written law then what you write in the law won't be able to stop them.
If only. Spain declared all Native Americans Spanish subjects with equal rights in 1519. Then they proceeded to hang in public any governor who violated those rights. That's why there are 7 million 'pure blooded' (whatever that means) Native Americans in South America today and there are races like Mexican.

What's more, Spain treated the 'colonies' as parts of Spain and it spent all its money developing them. From the first university in the Americas to all kinds of hospitals, schools, infrastructure was built by the Spanish state with Spanish money. Thats why Spain lost the imperial race: Building up the locals instead of exploiting them - leaving aside not murdering them all to replace them like the Anglosaxons did.
Removing ad blocking is what breaks the internet for me. Firefox is working 99.9% fine except 0.1% of site which I usually do not miss or in the worst case open in another browser. This is an insignificant nuance compared to the constant distraction of not using an ad blocker.
> and also has the fun side-effect of being a cute easter egg to anyone who went to star tours.

I don't think that was an explicit callout to Star Tours -- which opened at Disneyland years after RotJ came out (1983 and 1987). If anything, the easter egg went the opposite direction!
How would you do that?

Keep in mind that the object orbiting is already falling. Orbiting earth is literally "falling around the earth", compared to "falling down to earth" which we are more familiar with from throwing rocks and whatnot.

So to go "straight down" either it would need to orbit the sun (instead of the earth) and have its orbit intersect that of the earth, like the meteors we're worried about, or it would need to do a very strong deceleration burn.
One of the things that stands in the way of this (for me) is that I've been out of academia for nearly ten years. I never even got verified for submitting CS pre-prints https://arxiv.org/ for example, which I should have done before leaving school.
You and a few others have said that OpenCL is buggy on AMD. Is it buggy on Nvidia too?
Thanks, I'll check it out. This looks great.

It's a little baffling how MacOS hasn't been able to get this to work. If a Matrox TripleHead2Go could hit a high enough resolution for multiple monitors it might be a possibility.

It did improve with a few tweaks but every so often it forgets.

First I thought it was a Macbook Pro thing. But a Mac Studio, with 3 separate monitors plugged into it, was just as confused.

I'm not sure how Windows and Ubuntu can handle it just fine from my experience.

> Allowing occupation of vacant properties by squatters because there isn't enough housing supply is like allowing stealing food from farms because there isn’t enough food supply

Love these religious-sounding sermons. Im telling what is happening here, a lot of 'free market' types are preaching to me that what is happening here is not happening and something else should be happening per the magic of 'free market' or capitalism or whatever. Hearing these, one understands who the US ended up with housing being unaffordable for 99% of Americans...
No one has ever said there are no use cases for AI.

And it's unquestionably been useful in certain niches e.g. research, image generation.

But that's very different from it transforming everyone's lives like the hype suggests.

This is all post-facto rationalization to avoid a more glaring truth.

Women aren’t having kids - because they can avoid having kids. While still having sex and having societal benefits, including retirement. That is a very, very new and unusual situation when looking at the span of human history.

Birth control is a pretty new invention (mid 60’s approximately), and societies globally have been steadily rolling it out/making it available more easily.

Childbirth is dangerous (especially the first time), usually ruins one’s figure (and hence ‘market value’), and is economically very expensive.

At a minimum 4-6 months of ‘non productive’ work time per pregnancy, not counting the several years of near constant caretaking for a newborn. Which kills normal careers, where taking ‘time off’ pretty much guarantees you’ll be surpassed by all your competition - and 2-2.5 years pretty much guarantees it. And that is for an office job, not labor.

Before birth control, the only way to do that would have required celibacy or constant abortions - and good luck suppressing that drive for most people!

It’s like wondering why almost everyone is fat and out of shape when there is no public transit, everyone has to drive everywhere (and gets stuck in traffic), food is terrible and junky, jobs are mostly sedentary, etc.

Of course that’s how folks will be on average when that’s the environment! And birth rates are by definition based on the average behavior.

Coupled with the fact it’s relatively easy to survive/live in society without kids now, and it’s a double whammy. At least until the consequences of having no kids for a long time come home to roost - then everyone is going to be fucked. Figuratively.
A tiny tiny percentage of Instagram users would be considered artists.
And the tornadoes?
This is an excellent point. This is why it was necessary to beat the Germans first - so the Russians could invade or at least threaten Japan.

Even so, a land conquest of Japan would have cost vast numbers of lives - far more than the nukes.

When people die one by one in war, the emotional impact is blunted. But when a million die in one bomb, it seems much worse, even if the overall body count is lower.
I guess, but I feel like Costco is not a sole source shopping experience but rather a supplemental one. I try and buy my gas there since it’s definitely cheaper, I do t think you could infer a great deal from my driving habits by my purchase history
Yes, they're delicious.

The burps afterwards are pretty gross, though, haha. But I haven't found a hot dog that has less gross burps. It's the cost of doing business, especially at Costco.

Except those apple chicken dog things, but they are not a proper hotdog.
Sometimes I wish I could think this innocently that I was unable to consider all of the nefarious ways people could use the data they have access to about you. Once you've peered in to just how accurate their inferences about can be, you loose one of your horcruxes.
Retailers know what you bought from them and how much you spend with them. Costco has a better picture than most other retailers because of the membership model, but really all retailers engage with this. Knowing, for example, that a customer buys diapers, eggs, and milk once a week may be valuable for an advertiser trying to target specific demographics (like parents).

Nice! Some suggestions, color the door blue and plant green and ...

1. Let the door actually exit to something like google.com, random wikipedia page OR your fallback static site (most of these sites usually have a simpler view for "serious" people)

2. Let the plants go to a productivity site (pomodoro?) or something like https://www.tree.fm/
And why not? Consumers are all but asking them to take it. You can't reward bad behavior with money and expect it to end.
I like open-everything as much as the next person, but I don’t really agree with this position. The source code to run the model is open, as are the weights of the thing you’re running. I think it’s fair to say that they have open-sourced an LLM inference system. This isn’t traditional software, and it’s not clear how the term “open source” should be defined.

To stretch the analogy a different way, it could have been argued that PyTorch isn’t “open source” because the repo doesn’t include the private notes, sketches and communications of the team that developed it. How could someone reproduce the source code for themselves without access to the inputs that went into designing it?

Of course, we don’t define “open source” in that way for source code. But we could have.

I advocate applying the original term for such things, "freeware".

No need to needlessly complicate things.
> I think you'll find that you are in the minority. Look at laws for felony theft.

I think the laws for felony theft as compared to the laws for murder and rape are pretty solid evidence that rape and murder are considered more serious crimes than theft. And that's setting aside that there are plenty of theft laws that are even less serious than felony theft. In cases where people are stealing to meet their basic needs such as food or housing, it's not uncommon for perpetrators to receive lenient sentences including probation with no prison time.

What's your argument for landlordism not being theft? Shouldn't those people get a job too? Or is theft only a crime when poor people do it?
Not to mention the sight itself is much less notable than the sky-tearing pressure waves you experience when you’re on-site. As soon as those engines fire up it’s very obvious why it’s so much different from watching it on a screen - the sound. The sound is so immense that it almost acts as a sort of audio silhouette that reveals the curvature of the earth if you listen closely enough.
