> And did the participating industries get anything more than a slap in the wrist?

No, they didn't even get that. After all, our Kanzler forgot about it.

I still wouldn't call this a competitive advantage. The only companies that gain this advantage do so through fraud. And Germany has a gigantic problem with corrupt politicians that help fraudulent companies profit.

It's objectively terrible for Germany, and not a competitive advantage. The companies using these schemes do not pay taxes for the most part, so calling that great for the economy is such a gigantic stretch that it's hilarious.

It's great for the politicians though. After all, they always get paid to make the scandals go away.

> Nein mein herr. Das ist alles mein herr. /s

That's fair, I was definitely too aggressive with that statement. Sorry for that.

It just triggers me a little when people blame the nation for the actions of individuals, almost always entirely unassociated with said government. (Wherever that's India, China, the USA or Germany)

After all, what you're calling a competitive advantage is fraud! The issue is that German politicians are just so hopelessly corrupt that no prosecution ever happens. That's the issue we have to address. After all, most companies in Germany are law abiding and do not have a competitive advantage.
I was thinking the other day that it’s taken OpenAI quite a bit of time to bring out GPT-4o for free to users. Even paying users have limits of how much they could use GTP-4 and GPT-4 Turbo.

For Apple to build out a dedicated server farm to accommodate even 50% of all their current users would be extremely challenging. I think they need users to run an LLM locally just simply because they wouldn’t be able to handle the amount of compute it would require to handle every request server-side.

I’m very interesting to see how local AI will impact the amount of RAM that comes standard with their Macs and iPhones. The 12 year old Macbook I still have in a cupboard somewhere has 16 GB of RAM. That was max at the time, but today 128 GB is max while they still offer 8 GB. If they had done that 12 years ago they would have been offering 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16 GB of memory.

It’s a shit show of people doing annoying stuff with their bags.

The idea that you could have some who can take their bags and some who can’t and that this would be acceptable to everyone is just not going to work. Combine this with the fact that a crisis alters people’s abilities. Some may be injured, some may be shocked. Then some poor crew member has to police the bs behaviour that would result.

I was eating lunch at a place I'm applying to, and volunteering at, and someone casually dropped a hateful comment towards "straight white males." At work! Nobody called her out on it. It boggles the mind. So I stopped volunteering and applying there. Good luck with the hate, that's my thought.
I am not sure I agree with you if the haters always pay and the lovers pay only when the album drops (see my child suggestion to the idea post).

Artist sets the reserve to $x. Artist hates against themselves to $x + $y at a cost of $y.

Case 1) Auction goes to $0. Artist therefore makes $x from others and $y from "self-hate" netting $x, the original reserve.

Case 2) Auction does not go to $0. Lovers get their money back. Haters do not. Artist recups $y from self-hate and is even on the transaction. Up, actually if there were other haters.

What broke?

The artist driving up the price via $y seems to be net zero aside from reducing the chances that the auction goes to $0. But recall, the artist wants to make money so reducing those chances isn't in their interest.

The other haters got to hate. Purely Lulz. So their got their money's worth.

The lovers did not get an album but their money was returned.

You're right that the artist could force an album to not be released. But, recall they pre-dropped the files and are only releasing a decryption key. And the artist does not have infinite money to avoid being exposed as a fraud if the encrypted stuff turns out to be pure crap. There's real reputational risk.
When installing a PWA, check whether URL and title match and warn the the user otherwise.

For most PWAs, the title is simply the apex domain without the TLD with some kind of capitalization. There are a few slightly more complex cases, such as Google Maps (google.com/maps) and YouTube Music (music.youtube.com). Even in these cases, there is an obvious relationship between URL and title.

No, this has nothing to do with Trump.

The USA has been in “unrestrained borrowing” because it’s been funding itself with continuing resolutions rather than a budget since 2009. That means that the extra trillion dollars in 2009 “temporary” stimulus has been added to the debt every year since on top of the prior trajectory. This is easily seen if you look at the relevant graphs on FRED.

That said, government borrowing or money creation doesn’t directly cause inflation either. Sad to say, the inflation we’re seeing appears to be as much on the production and importing side as it is on the demand side.
> Note that "mutually voluntary" means no other party having their rights violated by that interaction, which would preclude actions like polluting

I don't think this is a rights issue, because it's too difficult to understand. Even simple transactions require contracts, and imagine all the (changing) regulations on what is or isn't deemed acceptable, and how that could be misused. Does noise pollution count? How much CO2 can I breath out before I'm violating your rights? Rights have to be simple; the stuff that will change needs to be laws.

Shout out for "Apple Configurator" for Mac, if a dumb phone appeals to you but can't because there are some apps you really need, I hardly ever see it mentioned in articles like this. It's designed for IT departments to configure all their company phones, but you can also use it to dumb down any iPhone by whitelisting a specific set of apps, it's way better than the parental controls / screen time options.

Max Levchin (Paypal) said this on diversity:

I'm not saying I agree, just seemed a good time to drag it up.
Rents are "unearned" in the same way all appreciation is unearned. You spend your money on something, anybody else could also have spent that money on it, but the person who does spend the money on it enjoys the appreciation, if any, because they pay the opportunity cost.

> because land value always goes up

Tell that to the people who left urban St. Louis and Detroit and Cleveland in droves over the last 75 years. Their land didn't just go down in value; it went to less than zero. You'd literally have to pay somebody to take it and it's a huge burden on those municipalities.

The problem with Georgism is that, yes, land is different than other things in that you can't make more of it, but it's also the same as most things in most ways that matter.

All resistance to the use of computers running "AI" must be suppressed. Good luck with that. The desperate, nonsensical retorts in these "AI" threads suggest that "AI" fans just cannot accept that some people may not want to use it or may not like correcting the "work" of people who do.

This is a strawman. No one on this thread said it does.

Thank You! The section "Resolution in projection systems" in the above wikipedia link (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photolithography#Resolution_in...) contains the essential info. It lists the same exact equation which i have linked to in my comment and adds further details, to whit;

The minimum feature size that a projection system can print is given approximately by:

CD = k1 ⋅ λ / N A

where CD is the minimum feature size (also called the critical dimension, target design rule, or "half-pitch"), λ is the wavelength of light used, and NA is the numerical aperture of the lens as seen from the wafer.

k1 (commonly called k1 factor) is a coefficient that encapsulates process-related factors and typically equals 0.4 for production. (k1 is actually a function of process factors such as the angle of incident light on a reticle and the incident light intensity distribution. It is fixed per process.) The minimum feature size can be reduced by decreasing this coefficient through computational lithography.

According to this equation, minimum feature sizes can be decreased by decreasing the wavelength, and increasing the numerical aperture (to achieve a tighter focused beam and a smaller spot size).

Thus the NA being increased in Hyper-NA (0.75) from High-NA (0.55) results in a smaller "feature size" i.e. smaller nanometers.

I need to read some more but i think i now get the basic Physics concepts involved.
"We should ban more single-use plastic."

We should ban more single-use non biodegradable plastic.

I like the single use biodegradable plastic bag for example, where I can have the organic compost inside, so less mess everywhere.

Those should be standard. But currently they are way more expensive. Standard plastic from oil is cheap.

> > The majority of us, through no fault of our own

> it is called "personal accountability", I know its very hated on in the modern world, but please...

Look, I get the point you're trying to make, but as stated, this is incredibly insensitive. There are plenty of scenarios where someone should be held personally accountable for getting distracted or losing time, but this is not one of them. It's entirely possible and quite common for certain kinds of content to trick and manipulate the brain. It's not their personal fault for falling victim, just as it's not someone's personal fault for getting robbed.

Plus, not everyone can focus or resist distractions the same. Not everyone can expect to even be able to. Many people who suffer from ADHD, for example, have a particularly hard time with this.
> nontaxpayer ends up being a freeloader and social parasite

And you say the libertarians are childish and simplistic
It’s the amount of RAM that matters. It’s supported on the M1 but not on the A14. Both have the same CPU core design and neural engine, including the same number of neural engine cores. The A14, however, has 4 or 6GB RAM while the M1 has at least 8GB.

As the models used can be quite large this probably means the A14 doesn’t have enough headroom for it give a good UX.
As someone who has spent a lot of time defining and enforcing processes (yay), it is far easier and more understandable to adopt a hard rule for this sort of thing. You don't want people to be debating whether or not their backpack is the acceptable size to include, while someone else's laptop case is not. Then you have someone saying that they are allowed to take their backpack, but it is in the overhead bin one row behind them, so could you just pass it to me...

For life or death situations, you need to have short clear rules that are easy to follow.

There is this new AI features, but I feel there was also a bigger reason to upgrade that was almost completely ignored.

A huge set of media companies have shifted to using AV1 and these older devices are gonna get hammered for battery.

I was planning on upgrading anyway just to get hardware AV1 decode given youtube music/youtube are one of my most frequent apps.

Surprised there wasn't more furore when Google mandated that shift.

The interesting question is not the choice between diversity and merit, but how you attract and select the most meritorious candidates in a setting where your company overwhelmingly skews towards one demographic, given that people are more likely to hire others that are similar to them (and conversely, potential candidates are not likely to join companies when there are no people similar to them).
Fair. I am willing to wait for evidence that a 14 year old was killed in a sawmill as a result of these policy changes before cementing my conclusion that it was a false claim.
Yes, exactly. Tools perform without "knowing" the purpose. Unintelligent yet effective.

So, "perform a selection over the enumerated combinations in the solutions space" works without the process being further sophisticated. It works as much as it can - as a preparation of data until the stage in which intelligence is required.

We have been doing it since a while; simulated annealing, genetic algorithms... Dumb hammers in a way, encoding an action from an intelligent operator, and providing an effective aid when under intelligent control.

Honestly, I don't get why this is a problem. The iPhone has these focus modes that switch automatically. And I disable notifications for everything irrelevant.

Yeah reconnecting from different terminals is a pretty tricky problem to solve (and in fact can't be solved in general because of potential skew between the terminfo db on the client machine and the remote machine). The big problem is that once you launch a shell, there is no great way to change environment variables from outside that shell, so you can't change the value of TERM for a running shell. I have thought about trying some LD_PRELOAD tricks to try to be able to call setenv() from within the shell process itself, but this always struck me as something that would require a pretty big hack.
