Diversity comes from (fair) competition. Why would I not make American monopoly beige if it works for America locally? But if the foreign company is already that color I have to differentiate somehow. I have to compete on whatever I know about the domestic market, and force the foreign companies to learn and adapt to reach parity with me.

That whole process works in reverse too, where I have to reach parity with the large multinational company on all the features the domestic audience cares about. That last step is usually the first one to be missed when a government hands a monopoly on a tech vertical to a local company with protectionist policies. (And often they don’t just do it to insulate them from foreign competition, they will end up insulating them from domestic too as an artifact of the way these relationships reinforce themselves)

So, the state should intervene to help level the playing field to reach fair competition. In practice though it rarely stops there and instead works to insulate the domestic company from any competition. Which results in inferior products.

It is not diversity to have many people reinventing and maintaining essentially the same wheel. Exceptionally, this is necessary for national security purposes, but in the common case this is actually a poor deal for local consumers who prop up a worse product.
In terms of the physical weight/volume of resources terraforming probably would be order of magnitudes more. But if terraforming involves mostly releasing frozen and underground stores of gasses, well that's potentially cheaper than building giant vacuum-sealed dome cities. And as a result you get the whole surface as a habitat (in the long run).
Yes. Samsung created the best product for all eyes.

That's not the same for most internet apps.

They can do the same, they don't want to nor need to.

Actually, it is more along the lines of "if you don't HAVE to keep shipping new ASICs for each new problem because you have a better architecture, you can become the dominant player".

That is how FPGAs got important. And general purpose CPUs or GPUs.
> Abuse is always highlighted (or minimised) because of ulterior motives, not because of the abuse itself.

That strikes me as almost tautologically untrue. It simply doesn't seem possible that every decision about how much to highlight or criticize or ignore a country's abuse of their legal system could be based upon ulterior motives. It implies that there can never be genuine moral outrage, and honestly, for me, that just makes your whole point and outlook feel unfounded or uncommonly sad.

For example, how much of the criticism of Otto Warmbier's detention in North Korea is based upon ulterior motives? Is it all of it? Or is it like, 50% or 10% or less? And if it's a smaller amount, are you actually highlighting a hypocrisy that is meaningful enough for it to be the main thrust of your comment?

It feels like someone cooked you a gourmet meal and you said, "Food only ever tastes good or bad because of the salt."
On one hand there are works like Pride, Prejudice, and Zombies. Its not a whitewashing of the original and its not trying to be. Even better is that it does a moderately good job of preserving the direction of the original story while adding absurd extensions like zombies and busty breasts overflowing their blouses.

On the other hand there is Disney's Aladdin. Uggghhh, yeah, its a complete whitewash. Nobody knows what Aladdin really is any more. Call that a new original story about some goofy cartoon who sings songs with some blue vapor clown thing. Don't call it a fairy tale, because its not remotely related to the fairy tale of the same name. Its no different than spinning the historical tragedy of the Trail of Tears into some positive romantic comedy cartoon fantasy to sell movie tickets. Sure, you if look hard enough you might be able to find some sliver of an encounter to support your whitewash idea, but that doesn't make it savory.
I was checking this out on my train ride home and I'm pretty excited to take it where it's been tonight. Well done team!
"One of the most original expositions": The Vienna Poster Exhibition in 1888
Closest thing I've found in this thread to my own thoughts. I do think Assange was arrogant, personally dislikable, and had a particular grudge against the United States. This is different than my opinion of, for instance, Snowden, who seemed more motivated by a desire to trigger positive reform.

Regardless, Assange has been punished enough, particularly given the distasteful manner in which he was found guilty and imprisoned.
Easy there pal. I think we can certainly talk about it, but allergens is a valid concern.

Is "atomic operations composition" a real term? Or it's something like "monolithic microservice"? What does that even mean?
The rider reports an issue and Waymo sends a new car while they send the dirty one back to the depot back to be cleaned? Offending previous rider is charged a fee and then banned for life.

Hard for me to imagine this being a widespread problem. Probably about as much problem as there is with something similar happening in the elevator of a private building.

That article isn't right generally, by my understanding. It might be⁰ for their own use (a DB engine) but not for a library that might be more directly linked to an application.

AGPL is based on GPL, not LGPL, and like the GPL linking would be considered creating a derivative work which should then be made available as per the [A]GPL licence.

This won't stop me licensing my work using AGPL. If commercial interests don't want to use it then I'm fine with that¹. If they do want to use my stuff but don't want to use anything covered by AGPL then they can always contact me to try negotiate a different arrangement.

--------

[0] IANAL, hence “might be”. Whether loose coupling counts the same as linking is a grey area IIRC. This potential confusion is why some avoid GPL/AGPL, if only to be on the safe side from their PoV.

[1] Give the choice between “give us what we want with no come back and we'll use what we want and give nothing back” and “don't give us what we want, and we'll go away and leave you alone”, I'll take option two. I get nothing either way.²

[2] As the linked article says: “If you don’t use the AGPL[³], they’re just going to take your software and give nothing back. If you do use the AGPL, they’re just going to develop a solution in-house. There’s no outcome where Google pays you.”

[3] Here they are comparing AGPL to less restrictive licenses such as MIT.
The only plausibly defensible purpose of scaring kids was to scare them into staying safe. Not for the sake of scaring them. But if you’re actually interested in scaring children to protect them you should be writing stories about guns, car accidents and drugs, not wolves and witches.

Honestly, it’s almost always legal to stop in a lane. Regardless of the fact that other drivers had bad behavior, that was the right thing to do. Some of the future of all this is that we will need to install curbs in places we don’t have them now to prevent bad human behavior.
> That's a loaded question

It's not a loaded question to ask what a person means when they introduce a term.

That's a tautology. Nobody knows if a person fits the type of person who would assault someone, until after they've gone and assaulted someone.

That link appears to reference industrial carbon capture. I don't see a residential unit there or any claim of 50kg per month. A half acre facility isn't feasible in a residential setting. The site seems to sell carbon offsets (credits) for sequestration, which is nice but isn't residential carbon capture and fuel synthesis.

I just don't see how this is feasible at a residential scale. Certainly not with the convenience of solar plus battery storage.

Carbon capture and fuel synthesis is very exciting technology, especially when combined with solar for load shifting. Generate "clean" fuel from excess sunlight. But even then it doesn't scale as well as direct transmission. Combustion fuels will have to be reserved for those cases that really need the energy density, like aviation. Battery electric is far more practical for self-sufficient personal transportation.
I'm not sure how true this is anymore. FSD has improved significantly this year that they're on their new NN architecture.

It's worth remembering that Waymo required their users to sign NDA's during beta, while the Tesla FSD beta was open to everyone with no NDA. So there was a lot more Tesla content being posted and going viral.
That's right. I tested this just now in a directory with 1,000,000 files:

I'm a little bummed that it failed in fish shell, but wouldn't begrudge the author if they replied "don't do that".

It doesn't matter how many there are if only one is available in your region.
do it like every other business. double it. that leaves you with 1/2 a million profit per classroom, per year. ripe for disruption!

but, that 1 to 32 might not be accurate. special ed is required by law, and the ratio in those classes are probably 5 students, 1 teacher.

and then we have the 'additional teachers'. in middle school you might have a gifted and talented teacher, a music teacher, and maybe a PE teacher. they would not count as overhead since they are direct instructional.

and, and, and. my point is your model is too simple.

in the end you will probably find that the overhead is 400%, and it is there because of principals, assistant principals, curriculum specialists, behavioral interventionists, speech therapists and...

we have allocated dealing with a lot of problems to the public schools system, and it costs a lot of money.

what is reasonable is determined by your local school board. they levy the taxes, they spend the money.
Or people are sensitive to it and the rate at which it kills people will be lower than humans, or probably already is!

Well, if you have an interface that all entries adhere to it is not a heterogeneous list in my book. In Haskell that could be achieve without a sum type wrapper, but with a type class.

Same here, big Lit fan.
A classroom size of 35 isn't the same as an instructor ratio of 1:35. Gym teachers, art teachers, librarians, counselors and tons of other support staff that directly deal with students all day all need to get paid. This study shows that most schools in the bay area seem to have a ratio of 1:20 for certificated staff to students. https://sfeducation.substack.com/p/salaries-staffing-and-sch...

The school district also accommodates incredibly high need children that may have staff ratios higher than 1:1. A deaf student may have a trained interpreter that is assigned specifically to them. Autistic students, kids with down syndrome, etc... are all entitled to a public education.

Just because YOUR kid doesn't cost $24k per year to educate doesn't mean that some kids don't consume multiples of that number through no fault of their own.

More cynically, I suspect that a lot of it gets siphoned away by spending that has no actual impact on students. Things like bloated admin, badly managed contractors, dumb tech contracts
40% is fine. It just doesn’t matter.

Can we reflect on how this person was so wary of reading the article for fear of being misled (instead of just reading it and afterwards reflecting/evaluating) because they were so sure it must be wrong (for whatever reasons) and it turns they themselves were wrong. This is called irony and dunning krueger.
> Many Tesla owners have reported that they have to regularly disengage FSD because it's trying to do something dangerous or looks like it's headed for a crash.

With Tesla the responsibility is on the person in the driver's seat, so there is a (rightfully!) a bias for overreaction on the part of the driver. We will never know many of these disengagements were necessary.

The only way to get a true comparison of data is to compare robotaxis with robotaxis.

Kind of feels like Rivian is giving away a hell of a lot to VW for only $5B. They must be really unsure they can make it to R2 launch.

The really challenging part for the old car companies has been the software and that was Rivian's edge. Now they've given that way and have to compete with VW on purely the hardware side that the old car companies are already good at.
I grew up in this area a long time ago - not quite 40,000 years. This is my local Norman castle!

The obvious history you could see were the castles and walled towns. More recently, lots of ship building in the last 200 or so years, and plenty of WWII sites.

There are many other parts of Pembrokeshire with Stone Age sites that are well known, and there were clearly many people living in this area for a long time before even those later inhabitants

Very cool!

It is a pretty safe bet that if someone builds a supercomputer there is a business case for it. Spending big on compute then leaving it idle is terrible economics. I agree with Certhas in that although this is not a consumer-first strategy it might be working. AMDs management are not incapable, for all that they've been outmanoeuvred convincingly by Nvidia.

That being said, there is a certain irony and schadenfreude in the AMD laptop being bricked from the thread root. The AMD engineers are at least aware that running a compute demo is an uncomfortable experience on their products. The consumer situation is not acceptable even if strategically AMD is doing OK.
I have very little trust in startups. Even if the R1 was a good product, their methods of logging into services was something I could never get onboard with.

I even changed banks (after 20 years), because I was looking to link my account to a budget app and my old bank required a 3rd party service that cached login data. I went through and tried connecting about 2 dozen banks that seemed like contenders to find the 2 or 3 that allowed me to authenticate properly with a token I could revoke from the bank itself, and switched to one of those. I don't know who these people are that hand over things like bank creds based on trust alone. The R1 wasn't there yet, but I'm cure that was a future goal.
1. I agree with you.
2. Assange is a Russian asset and the West’s (esp USAs) emphasis on freedom of speech puts us in a very difficult situation with respect to information dissemination.
3. This blind spot is being heavily leveraged to alarming success and Authoritarian regimes are gaining momentum with their goals. Mainly To destabilize democracies and make us all like them. We also want them to fail and be reborn as democracies.

VisualAge C++, Java, and Smalltalk.
Part of me almost feels the EU owes Microsoft an apology for the amount of private time, people and money Windows N and the browser ballot stuff took up in the XP days, given how much they were forced to invest in certain efforts that so utterly failed to change anything about the status quo.

Chrome didn't need a browser ballot to defeat IE. Almost no one bought or shipped the N versions of Windows. Spotify, iTunes et al still managed to come around just fine despite that pesky default install of Windows Media Player!
30 entries, 10 are about Tesla. Couple of them about EVs. Not a single positive article.
I don't necessarily disagree. But I do think there's something to be said for knowing that my sql query is "just" slow, not trapped in an infinite loop. Not confident, but I feel like debugging "why is this query so slow that it hasn't returned yet" seems easier than debugging "why has this slow-or-maybe-nonterminating query not returned yet".

I believe the general category of antitrust is "tying agreements" where you tie a weaker market share product to a stronger one.

Also, I'm not arguing why it's okay, just that it's a normal part of antitrust law and not specific to the EU. The US FTC has an example on this page: https://www.ftc.gov/advice-guidance/competition-guidance/gui...

What exactly was political about it?

He committed a crime against the United States, they empaneled a grand jury, and handed down 18 federal charges of espionage and computer intrusion. The US sought extradition just like they would in any other similar case.

While he fighting extradition, he was actively attempting to recruit hackers to break into US government systems and steal information for him.

Assange was the one who was constantly trying to make it political and turned it into a clown show by trying to paint himself as a journalist.

Design of macOS since BigSur took such a nosedive.

Buttons are flat text that doesn't look clickable, with the best case of having a very faint border, sometimes only on hover. There are multiple ad-hoc checkbox replacements. There's a jarring cacophony of old macOS and new iPadOS UI elements — old UI elements with small fonts, small padding, and teeensy disclosure indicators share the screen with big fat round blobs lazily transplanted from a touch screen OS. Some elements react to hover, some don't. Some can only be discovered by hovering mouse in a specific location. Menus have varying heights, and varying padding.

Such unpolished inconsistent details used to be a tell-tale of non-native UI toolkits, or skins for other OSes faking a Mac OS X look. Now macOS looks like a hasty unfinished reskin of iPadOS ;(
