Banning foreign drones just gives domestic drone companies even less incentive to compete on quality. If the foreign drone company is benefiting unfairly from subsidies, then the way to beat them is to subsidise US drone companies, creating fair competition.
For Photoshop specifically (and perhaps other CC programs, but I'm less familiar with them) another problem compared to alternatives is that a great wealth of instructional material (tutorials, paid video courses, etc) are built around Photoshop.

While there are ways to make alternatives more Photoshop-like, there's always going to be unreconcilable differences which bring unwelcome friction when the goal is to learn whatever the material is teaching rather than screw around with keybinds and UI configuration.

More projects that aim to adjust existing FOSS alternatives to more closely clone Photoshop would be of great help here. There used to be GIMPShop[0] that did this for GIMP but it's unfortunately been defunct for a long time now.

Yep, I think that's the best quote of the interview and the runner up is the Napster quote.

People seems to have forgotten that Intel used to had StrongARM in their lineup, with the same logic Intel is a computing company not x86 company, similar to AMD [1].

For one of the latest trends in the computing landscape please check this new Embedded+ platform recently introduced by AMD [2]. I'm biased towards IoT but I've a very strong feeling that IoT is the killer application of AI, similar to AI is a killer application of HPC as the latter statement was mentioned by Lisa Su during the interview. The turning point for IoT however is yet to happen, it will probably happened when the number of machine nodes talking to directly to each other, surpassing the number of machine nodes talking to human, then it will be its ChatGPT moment.

Even assuming we can make an unbiased model (assuming by unbiased we mean something like "has a world model and reasoning that has no systematic deviation from reality"), we couldn't recognize the model as unbiased. I'd even wager that outside of research such a model would be completely unusable for practical applications.

Both as individual humans and as collective societies we have a lot of biases. And judging by how fundamental values of societies shift across time and civilizations it's basically guaranteed that an unbiased view (whatever that is) would be incompatible with our views on many basic topics.

What most people want is a language model that matches our biases. Of course we can't even agree on what those are, and which biases are useful (is a bias against telling people how to cook meth or build a bomb good? What about using expletive language?).

Though in this paper I gather "unbiased" just refers to "only the bias acquired by training method and training data, without meddling or fine tuning"

While both sides of your comment are true, they don't follow. Yes, they're short-sighted, yes they'll result in bad financial outcomes long term, but the most hard-core capitalists still do them, because the bad outcomes will come long after they've moved to a new area they can exploit.

Most of your specific points are false. In fact, the majority of Americans self-report that they have at least 3 months of emergency savings, and this is backed by savings account data.

Amex will let you permanently block a merchant that has previously charged you from making any further charges, but you have to call and ask for it. Goldman Sachs, under the guise of Apple Card, does not permit this by phone or by app. I have no other experiences to report data on. (Note that this does not exempt you from any contractual obligations to pay ETFs or whatever.)
While wages did obviously start to increase when the economy shifted from selling things to selling time (after all, wages weren't a thing beforehand, so they had nowhere to go but up!) incomes have remained stagnant as far back as the records go. Now that most everyone sells time instead of things, wages and income are basically the same thing, meaning that wages can only increase further if incomes also increase, but that has never happened at least since we started keeping records.

So – Would people actually be happier if they made the same amount of money, but did so selling something other than time? Even if the amount of time required to produce that something was the same as the time input they are giving in exchange for wages?

For those people who don't "make mistakes", the card issuers are still earning:

• part of the 2-3% added to every charge

• fees from promotional marketing, guided by the info in your purchase history, to those customers

• fees from related services the same customers may purchase from the same bank

Even when the high rewards cards marketed to conscientious low-credit-risk customers send back some of that 1-3% as "miles" or "points" or "cash back", the other information/marketing values about high-spending, reliable-paying customers remain interesting.
> The unwarranted industrial and governmental enthusiasm for Hydrogen in roles it doesn't make sense for

-----

Edit: in process of doing napkin math

Edit 2: Dropping the initial calculation - too many confusing sources

China in 2022 produced around 9,000 tWh/yr of energy [2], of which around 30-40% is renewable (ie. 3,000-3,600 tWh/yr) [5]. China's secondary sector (entire industrial sector) uses 5,700 tWh/yr [3].

This is just China.

-----

For industrial and agricultural use cases like Steel, Casting, Chemicals, Shipbuilding, Fertilizers, Concrete, etc existing renewable sources cannot meet the energy deficit.

Greenhouse gas emissions for transportation are drastically falling globally, but for the use cases above emissions are only increasing [4] - heck, China's coal emissions have reached record highs [5]

There's a reason every country I listed AS WELL AS China are all investing heavily in Hydrogen as a fuel source.

It adds DJI to the FCC Covered List, meaning they can't get new FCC approvals. The FCC could choose whether or not to revoke existing FCC Equipment Authorizations for existing DJI drones.

If they do revoke the existing Equipment Authorizations, then the drones become illegal RF transmitters and wouldn't be legal to fly, although enforcement would border on impossible.
Electricity costs skyrocketed and manufacturers moved to lower-cost countries. If everyone moved back to farming the land by hand and stoped using tech, they would also be less dependent on fossil fuels but I don't think many want to make that trade.

I worked in CC loan and processing for a period of time. Issuing cards is really a form of hedging. They make money on some and lose on others. The point is to win more than you lose. That's all. There are secondary and tertiary ways of making money off of the cards too. They can sell the pool of underperforming cards for a smaller sum of money, and they can write off losses to help with other ventures. Just a couple of examples.
What would happen if doctors simply refused to do more then 60 hours a week? -> you can get sued for patient abandonment if you refuse to followup on a patient you are responsible for

Is there really enough supply of new doctors coming in that the hospital can just fire them all and replace them with doctors willing to burn themselves out? -> in part yes there are ( in some fields) but what would happen is that patients would be shifted to other facilities that have staff to see the patients, also when you have 400-500k of school debt its hard to refuse work

Or would it mean the hospital would have no choice but to hire additional doctors so that each one would only have to work a sustainable number of hours? -> this happens as well, they hire locum tenens docs to fill in gaps ( higher short term expense in exchange for not giving staff docs what they need)
> Most of the benefits of industrializations has gone to the elites. Just like colonialism and slavery.

The average individual is much better off economically and has a higher quality of life in an industrialized economy than one built on slavery.

I’m not arguing that slavery was good, but that it was orthogonal to industrialization. Virtually all countries practiced slavery at some point, but most didn’t industrialize.

Industrialization began with Britain running out of firewood and switching to coal as an alternative energy source. Steam engines were fine tuned to pump water out of coal mines, and people gradually began using steam engines to power other things, kickstarting the revolution.

My point is that Europe would have industrialized with or without slavery.

Thanks for picking North Korea as an example…a country where 43.5% works in agriculture and only a mere 14% in industry [1], compared to the much richer South Korea where only 5% work in agriculture [2]. It remains obvious that any economy built mainly on manual labor (slavery included) will be as mediocre as North Korea’s.

> The public good intended by the quotas doesn't go away because more people suddenly want a pill that makes them instantly feel better and more productive

And how do you account for the tons of raw material that manufacturers had on hand months into the shortage?
Ukraine goes through hundreds if not thousands of drones a day. Most are DIY or consumer grade at <$500 including warhead. Recent comments from DoD suggest their plan for defending Taiwan is hundreds of thousands of drones taking out any invasion fleet. At defense contractor prices that's a bitter pill to swallow even for the Pentagon. The M982 Excalibur (GPS/INS guided artillery shell) is ~$100k per boom. I largely agree a domestic supply chain for this stuff is important, even if Stefanik is ham fisted as always.

FWIW, we might be at peak drone for warfare anyway. At least vehicle based countermeasures are pretty obvious and will be put in place soon, although that won't be cheap either.
Honestly shocked how many (micro) benchmarks FreeBSD is just vastly far ahead on.

Reminder that Proton is not "private". They have all the keys, and willingly operate in a jurisdiction where they bend over backwards for ridiculous court orders.

Contested orders: 407

Orders complied with: 5,971

They did this to expose protestors and people who upset the powers that be, rarely real criminals.

They could choose to operate in a country that respects rights and design their tech so that there's nothing valuable to hand over. This is what Mullvad did.

I'll grant that Spanish people are on a bit less than the Irish, but please don't be misled by GDP Per Capita numbers. Irish people are hurting, especially in the parts of the country beyond greater Dublin. Dublin is well-served by €20/mo all you can eat 5G that seems to hit 300Mbps without effort, so there's no reason to compete with that. But out in the Cork mountains, where the broadband readiness date has now slipped two years to "Jan-Dec 2026," most people I know are hand to mouth or on assistance or at least not earning Dublin bucks. €50 is a stretch for such, but €20 for LTE was barely getting me 2Mb when I finally gave up on it, despite having a baller antenna.

What I love about them is that they require a lot of investment, and investment means jobs. The decommissioning of the AVR in Jülich is estimated to cost 2.5 billion euros. That's a lot of jobs! It even translates to American jobs, since the relevant authorities (now public, of course) is planning to export the nuclear waste to USA.[0]
It's a win-win!

> E2E tests are harder to write and interpret when something goes wrong.

If the test is hard to debug when it goes wrong, then I assume the system is hard to debug when something goes wrong. Investing in making that debugging easy/easier unlocks more productivity. Of course it matters on how often bugs show up, how often the system changes, the risks of system failure on the business, etc. it may not be worth the productivity boost to have a debuggable system. In my cases, it usually is worth it.
I feel like we need to disentangle a bunch of layers here. To take a stab at a quick categorization:

1. Policy bias, like if someone put in a system prompt to try to trigger certain outcomes.

2. Algorithmic/engineering bias, like if a vision algorithm has a harder time detecting certain details for certain skin tones under certain lighting.

3. Bias inside the data set which is attributable to biased choices made by the company doing the curation.

4. Bias in the data set which is (unlike #3) mostly attributable to biases in the external field or reality.

I fear that an awful lot of it is #4, where these models are highlighting distasteful statistical trends that already exist and would be concerning even if the technology didn't exist.
This question always seemed strange to me. Jobs that no one wants to do, simply don't get done. Simple. If people want something done, they will do it. Not for pay, but for the community. If everyone is truly too selfish to do vital jobs we have 2 choices. Come up with some other way to accomplish the same thing that people do want to do, or that society fails. It's not what people want to hear, but relying on people to be desperate enough to do jobs which they have no say in, simply to avoid dying, seems like a good recipe for a lot of inequality and resentment. Oh wait...
Politicians have put aside their personal beefs with Trump in response to their constituents. The republican base doesn’t want foreign wars and tax cuts, they want to kick the illegal immigrants out of the country and curtail foreign trade. Remember when Joe Biden told black voters Romney “wants to put them back in chains?” The Republican base wants their version of that guy, and that’s Trump. For Stefanik, Cruz, etc., their job is to put aside their personal preferences and get on board with what their constituents want.
I don't know.. Maybe in the good times. They are highly risky though and require a lot of capital backing that may not show up directly on the P&L.

I haven't used any Adobe products since they started doing the subscription-only model. I want to use it, they typically make good enough software, but I have a line in the sand that I will not pay for a subscription. I want to buy my software and own it and use it for as long as I want.

Basically my options if I don't want top pay a license fee for forever is to find alternatives, or pirate the software. I've opted for the former, but either leads to Adobe getting $0 from me, where they could have gotten >$0 if they had had a "pay outright" program.

I have generally found good enough alternatives with their competitors (Toonboom is generally good enough for basic animation, Krita is good enough for artsy stuff, Final Cut Pro is good enough for video editing).
What's a fourth-generation nuclear reactor and what makes it harder to build?
That’s been my thought since the TikTok ban as well. It was meant for people, but this for sure seems to meet the spirit of the prohibition. Does it actually violate it? We’ll have to see once the cases work their way through.
It's a meme on Twitter, essentially libertarians are pushing the idea that EU killed its tech industry through heavy reagulation and by tech they mean online advertisement.

They keep posting graphs of market capitalisation claiming that Europe must be failing because doesn't have speculative public trading stocks. There's also the top-list theme, making list of top-10 companies by market cap, claiming that if your country doesn't have monopolistic speculative giant public companies you must be failing.

It's very annoying because its very repetitive, I guess they are trying the Goebbles' propaganda technique of keep repeating something until people believe in it.

Someone really really wants to turn the European economy into this short term high growth long term who cares casino that the US has become.

>The point is that most people who will buy a $700 Chinese drone will buy a $1000 US drone if that's all they can get.

In the consumer market, if the $1000 drone has a significantly worse user experience then people just won't buy it. Before DJI the consumer drone market was much smaller; by creating a cheap, high-quality product DJI caused more people to purchase drones, growing the market. If there's no competitive alternative the market will just shrink again; consumer drones aren't a necessity.
