I know this is a popular opinion, but you'll be hard pressed to find a Tesla owner that shares your opinion. It could be self-selection, or it could be that Tesla's user interface actually works very well.

In my opinion, it's the latter, after observing how my parents adapted to driving a Tesla. I was actually concerned it'd be a hard transition, but I only had a couple "support calls" related to the car.

> Souza told TechCrunch in an email that Adobe changed how its cropping tool works and you have to “flatten the image” before saving it as a JPEG image. He suspects that this action has triggered Meta’s algorithm to attach this label.

You have to flatten the image when you use something that makes a new layer. Probably they used generative fill, not a simple crop.

That said "Made with AI" is a little misleading for this as it implies the whole image is AI created.

I have looked at some Apache projects to see if I can contribute, couldn't find any where I can add any value.

Most data related projects require expertise on vectorized executions, CUDA optimizations, or memory layouts + OS scheduling/storage to optimize their solutions
The basic idea here seems pretty sound. I remember years ago critiques about some Microsoft "Heroes" campaign along a similar line. While organizations often have superstars or whatever you want to call them, if you require them to at least minimally function you're probably doing something wrong.

That shouldn't mean that you don't celebrate those superstars. They're not a bad thing certainly--which is probably where I differ with the post a bit. But understand that we shouldn't be depending on them all the time.
Incentives matter, certainly, but you must suss out what those incentives are and what they need to be to arrive at the desired outcome. Look no further than the US Digital Service and 18F (within GSA). You are not paid top dollar, but you are put in front of meaningful work and enabled to deliver (although that in itself is an incentive for the practitioners recruited). From the bottom of the impact report I cite: "We need you. Let’s help millions of people together." right above the Call to Action to apply.

This topic is interesting but the article is not good. It has no data and instead is just talking about data, without giving any sort of baseline. This paper [1] seems more relevant, but is only from 2016.

The results seem surprisingly weak. Of the quartile that scored an average of 700 on their SAT math (at a time when the cap was 800) at age 13, only 10% went on to end up in the top 5% of earners. Add to that the context that the population since 1968 (when they were tested) has increased by about 65% (thus increasing the raw number of people in the top 5%) without necessarily increasing the number of academic outliers by a proportional amount.

It would be interesting to see IQ results and contrast them accordingly. There's a well known quirk with IQ. Childhood IQ levels are heavily influenced by environment, but adult IQ levels are predominately hereditary - privileges or disadvantages in childhood notwithstanding. Though that's definitely not an argument against the paper's overall premise - that we should work to foster and advance excellence so much as possible.

This a million times! I’ve been in the position of the “innovation hero” but also was unfortunate enough to work on “innovation pipeline” implementations within a large company. These never work because:

1. (99% of) employees don’t care. They have their own job to do and working on other things is an eyebrow raise from their manager (see 3). And what’s the e benefit? Mostly it’s a pat on the back or some “points” in the company award system that you can use to buy shitty merch at the end of the year.

2. Executive leadership doesn’t care because for the most part they don’t trust their own tech team to innovate. Why take the risk when you can buy a startup which comes with a bona fide certificate of innovation.

3. But the real problem (as commonly identified) is middle mgmt, who not only don’t care but are generally hostile to nonstandard work. The reasons for this are complex, partly it’s the aging manager suffering from Peter Principle, partly it’s the fear of negative pushback from senior leadership.

I agree to the overall tone, but there are also counter points.

One of them is the Google example. To get promoted beyond a certain level, you must have brought some new product over the finish line. Result? They have so many new things happening all the time, all of them suck, and then just move on to the next. Eg how many chat products do they need to invent before they settle on one and let it mature?
There are definitely components from the cryptocoin realm that could be repurposed in trust based systems.

zk proofs could be used to solve this problem.

- PH does proof with Govt, this could be anonymous

Ideally the user's keys are part of their ID, if you lose your ID, you can get a new one. It's still a permissioned system, so no miners/stakers needed, we can make it possible to change/replace keys behind the scenes so the UX for the common people does not amount to "lose your keys, lose your money"

I can speak to my experience as the child raised multilingually, though not quite the same situation you are proposing. I was raised in the US to a an American dad and a French mom, and they both speak both languages. My parents decided they would only speak to me and my younger brother in French, assuming (luckily correctly!) that I would learn English by simply being in an English-speaking world.
My experience, and I think my parents and their multi-lingual friends would agree, is consistency. My parents even went so far as to pretend not to understand us if we spoke to them in English! Not even to ask for a word translation! If you speak English, you always speak English. If your spouse speaks Spanish, they always speak Spanish. My feeling as a recipient of this education is that its probably better if you both speak the same language to your children, but I know that splitting them up can also work. Again, the key is consistency, and the simpler you can make the rules about who speaks what language the better.

The main thing I would consider is that you want a sensor that actually measures CO2, which is usually an NDIR device. A lot of cheaper monitors and even some very fancy professional HVAC devices use “TVOC” meters and calculate a “CO2 equivalent”, and the performance of these devices is wildly variable.

(The AirGradient devices are often configured with CO2 and separate SGP41 TVOC/NOx sensors. It’s entertaining to plot both raw TVOC and CO2 and to observe that they’re clearly showing similar diurnal variation, but the CO2 data is much cleaner.)

Aside: the SGP41 data sheet doesn’t really recommend looking at the raw data, but you can. I have an esphome fork that does this.
Of course in this case, the author appears to be reacting to tech that literally just reads the content credential metadata that Photoshop embeds when you use its generative AI features.

Reminds me of the Drucker quote about “culture eats strategy for breakfast.”

The problem is that large organizations naturally drift toward inertia and ossification. If a forward-looking leader wants the culture to change, they are faced with a conundrum:

- use a strategy like this (e.g. some top-down “innovation center” approved at the C level) which reinforces the rigidity and process-oriented thinking that needs to change, or

- create an insurgent skunkworks group that hopes to prove a different approach via undeniable results. This usually ends with back-alley knives getting unsheathed.

Hasn't it been the case, for quite some time now, that VNC and RDP are more efficient over the network than X11 for modern graphical apps?

My implication is that Facebook will solve this, not by disallowing access to NY teens, but by incentivizing NY teens and their parents to opt into the exact type of addictive feed that they currently have, and in the meantime falling back to non-user-specific recommendations. Also, it appears that a platform can still show content from users/channels that a minor user has explicitly subscribed to, without that counting as an addictive feed.

It's a very de-fanged law, but it's an iterative step in the right direction.

The conversation regarding restrictions on the feature set within the browser always focuses on the browser itself, but there is definitely an opportunity to rally website makers.

The microchip basically is just a device that spits out a unique number, an id. The core of doing something meaningfully then lies in the database(s) that link this number to contact information.

HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is the virus, AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) is the syndrome caused by untreated HIV. Everybody with AIDS has HIV, but not everyone with HIV has AIDS.

The reason for the reversal in terms is treatment options. When HIV was first found, there were no treatments so AIDS was inevitable. Nowadays, medication can permanently prevent HIV from progressing to AIDS, so AIDS is much less common than HIV.
Yet, there are plenty of native applications around.
