And Tesla, of any automaker's vehicle I've worked on, is the easiest I've ever worked with in terms of access to manuals and (paid) software. Toolbox is only a couple clicks away to get access to, and repair manuals are just freely in the open.

Compared to the nightmare it was to get access to documentation for one of our Fords here (let alone access to IDS) -- I'll take Tesla.

Parts availability is the biggest pain point though and I can't defend that bit of it.

It is really interesting to watch late 90s sitcoms (Friends, Seinfeld, etc.). Everyone is hopeful, they all view their low incomes and renting apartments as temporary conditions that they can turn around at anytime.

9/11 really popped our bubble of feeling untouchable, then we destroyed our economy with endless wars and watched the government bail out the banks in 2008. Not a huge surprise that we are less optimistic now.

I don't know... this same court recently upheld Native sovereignty with their decision on the Indian Child Welfare Act, and I don't know on what Constitutional basis they would reverse this decision, much less agree to hear a case on it. It seems pretty straightforward to me.
Right, that was my point. You can find ways of eliminating some sources of friction in a system, as was done in electric engines. Before you get to the electric motor, though, you will almost certainly have to deal with it in another way. Path dependence being hard to ignore for what we have done to deal with friction in the history of the car.

My assertion doesn't lean on "bad architecture," as I feel that there are just different choices and tradeoffs. I do think you should often times look for improvements in the tech you are working with instead of replacements. Replacing tech can, of course, be the correct choice. Often, it is a death knell for the people that are getting replaced. We solve that at societal levels in ways that are different from how you solve them at the local technical choice level.

As an Australian house owner, I consider the local perception that house prices have recently been increasing[0] to be largely based on domestic misconception. Rationale: If you take in to account USD/AUD currency shift[1] over the recent period, house prices are functionally flat or thereabouts. This view also accords better with cost of living shifts. Given this 'boots on the ground' view, I find it strange and remarkable that the Economist, which usually has fairly well reasoned journalism (and excellent editing), selects Australia as a stand-out market casually based upon some inspecific Goldies' analysis.

naively, could any percieved symmetry in these images be the effect of constant iteration over some input, where the self-similarity emerges as a kind of artifact of the lens, and not of the underlying numbers? Like how everything viewed through a kaleidoscope looks kaleidoscopic, but this doesn't reveal hidden symmetries in the object in the lens.

I'm suggesting it because even when you use other iterative tools (method of differences, phase space analysis[1], etc) you can percieve symmetry in the images even over random'ish data that mainly indicates limited or periodic inputs, but the output of these images don't provide any net new information about number theoretic relationships. It does suggest fractals may be a kind of lens artifact and not an actual property of nature though.

Actually, there is a lot of difference between base and censored models in terms of creative capacities. See the shocking results of this paper for instance: https://arxiv.org/abs/2406.05587

The censorship literally obliterates the creativity of LLMs.

Happy to skinny my reply down to simpler words for you, just in case you're genuinely here to join substantive discussion of technical topics, and simply suck at it:

1. Why do you think Vision Pro is a COVID product?

2. Why do you think your friends' usage patterns for legacy AR/VR devices is a useful indicator of the eventual popularity of this product category?

3. Do you have any data to substantiate your claim that people are cutting down on screen time to the detriment of shipping hardware SKUs?
I ended up with a preorder for the new screen instead of getting a laptop now and the upgraded screen later. Before making that call, I explored a bit around up-cycling the original monitor into a portable display. There are apparently some boards that allow this, if that helps with your math.
I like the idea, but I personally strongly correlate "notifications" with phone notifications so I was a bit confused at first.

I think it's too broad-scoped for the current lineup. Isn't really "unified" with 4 tools syncing to Todoist. I could see this being really attractive as a niche tool though - "developer focused" inbox or whatever.

I also like that it has a Raycast extension, add Obsidian as a destination and it might be compelling for me to try out :)

It has some issues, but I did go all in recently to prepare the drawings for a planning permission and eventually I got used to it. I was trained on Autocad, Archicad, some 3dsmax in the day. I think it is unfair to compare it to Solidworks and similar commercial software purely because of unmatched support you get out of those. Freecad is usable and not too bad IMO.

This may be controversial but the cost it would require for a restaurant to replicate what DoorDash/Grubhub provide is less than the fee they are charged by these companies.

Advocating to cap the fee they are charged for a service is restaurants having their cake and eating it too.

Overall, DoorDash/Grubhub have been a net positive for these businesses.

To hire a manage a delivery driver workforce, staff enough drivers to ensure reasonable service levels, manage an online ecommerce storefront, and market their business is very expensive.

If the fee is too high, they can just turn off the service. There’s a reason why they don’t simply turn it off. The value is reciprocated.
Just because you cite a paper doesn't mean you agree with it. At least in CS, often you're citing a paper because you're suggesting problems with it, or because your solution works better. Cascading deletes don't really help here - they'd just encourage you not to criticise weaknesses of earlier work, which is the opposite of what you're trying to achieve.
You're going to have to provide evidence, as in actual bona-fide promotions handed out, or Tenure committees expressly spelling out and counting this as a factor in their decision

I'm guessing you consider "vetting" to be confirming as correct, rather than the vetting that referees already do? In that case, how would anybody know about it to vet it? As soon as it's communicated to other researchers to work on it's effectively public, as trying to keep all research secret like that would lead to enormous amounts of duplicated effort and slow scientific progress almost to a halt. Besides, some research (especially theoretical) takes years or decades to be confirmed and accepted, and some research is reporting extremely rare things that may be unconfirmable but will eventually, because they were published, be part of a larger theory.
I don't feel good without meat, and good substitutes are less available.

Not sure how you expect anyone to answer this as you have provided absolutely no information other than you plan to use .net.

What’s the purpose of the server? Who’s the audience? What will it be doing? What sort of volume will it expect?

One does not simply create an API server!

And there a lot more to it - I’m no expert but my recent foray into this involved a front end API server in the DMZ, and a backend handler (both running under Kubernetes), RabbitMq , Redis, Sql Server and Postgres.

Does this API server even need a database? If so, why?

Exactly. When the fines are this low it is factored as just a cost of doing business.

They can go against a whole bunch of laws, crush the competition doing the right this and then pay a fine that amounts to nothing as they hold onto their position.

This happens a lot in customer facing medicine space. Make wild claims, make hundreds of millions of profit and then get fined a few million at the tail end of it all. Rinse, repeat.

>Honestly, I'm not sure another JH7110 device is a good thing for RISC-V publicity.

Hard agree. Not with spacemiT K1 (8 core, faster, RVA22 + Vector) already in devices on-sale.

I have had a JH7110 board (VisionFive 2) since January 2023. It was nice at the time. Now it's aging, with only RVA20 and no Vector extension.

RISC-V is moving really fast.
"RLHF significantly reduces to eliminates long tail log probs"

shares no words with "Shocking result: model creativity is obliterated by censorship"

Honestly, swear to God, the words aren't even in the same ballpark as what's actually going on. RLHF is also the process that makes it something you can talk to instead of an autocompleter. Has nothing to do with the concept of censorship. We can tell by the abliteration models. I can tell because I've used massive base models.

I also think it's fairly well demonstrated and accessible to train an LLM now, enough that if "creativity was obliterated by censorship", someone would have made an uncensored one that demonstrated superior outputs. Wasn't that Grok's whole thing? It'll even tell you how to make meth / cocaine? And it's nowhere near leaderboards.
Surely there must be some reasonable explanation for why you are still right and correct even though your ideas constantly lose to others without censorship. It can't be that you're just wrong.

Progress is relative.

Easily Search the Finances of 527s with ProPublica's New Database
In the 2000s a friend worked at a top 10 pharma company with the fun job of reproducing results from genetics papers... 25% were reproducible. The rest were not, even after communicating with the authors to get conditions as close as possible.

So, yes, the current situation can safely be assumed to pose at least a 25% cost on science. And "productivity" is the wrong term here. The harm of fraudulent/bad science runs much deeper than productivity
This approach got a bad reputation by the late 1980s, thanks to some spectacular failures like the iAPX 432. The death of the Lisp Machine market wasn't spectacular in the same way, but they weren't a commercial success either, and contributed to the sentiment that tailoring the hardware for specific languages wasn't the way forward.

You'll still find people making the case that we have continued to specialize computer hardware for a specific language, that language being C. They kind of have a point. I see it as more symbiotic than that: C caught on in large part because its abstract machine was a good fit for real hardware†, and that real hardware is the way it is because it's a Pareto-optimal way to do computation.

Fact is that most languages don't have a semantics which could be accelerated much in hardware. Take Java for an example: it's possible to implement the JVM as a chip, but then you have a stack machine, and you can't JIT it onto a register architecture.

What we do now is make the chip as fast as we can at doing the basic things a computer needs to do, and only that (this is the essence of RISC). That offloads making programs fast to compilers, which can do a better job of it if the instructions they're working with are very basic, and have a (reasonably) predictable duration and behavior. Itanium was the last serious attempt to disprove that thesis, and also failed rather spectacularly. The Mill is the latest contender, and well, I wish them luck.

That may not be the final word though, people should keep trying the "language on a chip" approach, and some still are. I have a hunch that Erlang semantics might be a good target for hardware-specific acceleration, there should be some degrees of freedom available from knowing that data is only shared between processes via a strict ABI. And just because implementing garbage collectors in hardware didn't really pay off in the 1980s doesn't mean that it's physically impossible to have a win with that approach. I'm just sketching out why you don't see that kind of thing much these days.

† C has been described as a "portable assembly language" and that has become steadily less true. That would be a stronger reading of my statement than I intended.
A. Amazon's retail margin is nearly zero.

B. California is <0.5% of world population; IDK how much of Amazon's worldwide revenue.
> It's like if someone stole $1000 worth of merchandise from a store and the only punishment is a $1000 fine... and you get to keep what you stole.

No, it's not like that at all. The fine was for two specific locations and it was for not disclosing specific quotas in writing. Drawing analogies to a person stealing from a store doesn't make sense.

The fine was likely calculated to offset any potential gains they may have made by failing to disclose quotas, whatever that may be. So again, your analogy about getting to keep what you stole doesn't make sense.

Basically none of these analogies or proportionality arguments in this thread make sense at all. I suspect half of the reason is that nobody read past the headline far enough to realize that it was for two specific locations, not for Amazon the entire giant business. The people trying to use Amazon's total earnings across all business units across all locations as part of their argument are extremely misleading.
Great tool!

One feature that I miss in many generative music experiments is the ability to export the generated MIDI clip. Could be a different target audience, not sure, but being able to export and re-use a pattern adds a lot of appeal.

A bit off-topic. Does browser MIDI implementation allow syncing across tabs with MIDI clock? It would be interesting to develop an open way to sync all these fun organic generators.

I love the idea of putting each year’s top papers under the microscope. Present day hucksters publishing in Nature will think thrice about making unsupported claims. Further, the automatic reproduction of the research will serve as cement in the fundamental building block nature of science.
He didn't. Sharing a conspiracy theory should not be illegal just because it makes people upset. Horrifyingly anti-American precedent
They're saying that because they apparently didn't read far enough into the article to see that this was for a specific violation (failure to provide quotas in writing) for two specific locations.

All of these comments getting upset because they're comparing it to all of Amazaon's revenue from all business units everywhere are either missing the point or they didn't actually read the article.

If an individual jurisdiction started levying fines against companies for local violations as a percentage of their entire revenue across the company, the only logical response would be for those companies to shut down and pull out of those locations.

All of these calls to calculate fines for small, local violations based on global revenues are absolutely insane.
Do you genuinely believe your boss pushing for too-high productivity quotas warrants jail time?

"two U.S.D.A. inspectors had been illegally detained at a checkpoint run by community members. In Michoacán, which stretches from the mountains west of Mexico City to the Pacific Ocean, some Indigenous communities have set up security patrols to defend themselves against criminal groups."

So it was not the drug cartels, but anti-cartel militas suspecting the inspectors to be connected to the cartels? Or what was their motivation?
Just protecting their local turf/state?

Arguing that device manufacturers should refrain from including commonly used features in their OS so that third parties can profit from selling those features to users is certainly a take. Can't say that I find it particularly convincing, though.
Maybe proportional to revenue (not profit).

In general that's correct, however it's not quite as simple. For latency you need to consider group velocity (not phase velocity), which depends on the waveguide and frequency of the EM wave. I'm actually not quite sure what it is for electric waves, but for most photonic structures it's very similar to the phase velocity. The phase velocity is about c/1.5 for silica, but more like c/3.5-c/2 for most materials used in photonic integration.

I'm not an expert on integrated electronic circuits, but I guess the difference could matter depending on application.
I'm not sure I understand what you're saying, the data is ending in 2021, we're in 2024. The landscape looks quite different after the pandemic rebound.

Also the fact that you compare it to the USD/AUD is silly, 99+% of us aren't paid in USD. If I could barely afford a 1.1M house in 2020 that is now 1.6M, we have a big problem.

The affordability crisis is local first.

We were lucky we bought our house in 2018. It's doubled in value since. Rejoice? No. Why? Because if we sold, it's not like we could afford any better. We've just raised the floor for everyone, essentially locking out the youth. This isn't good by any metrics.
I was going to make a flippant remark asking the lines of “why is it never good news?” but realized it’s a good question and the obvious answer is that everything is in perfect balance after millennia of the planet’s existence.
