The term “agreement among competitors” is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that quotation. Is there any evidence that this boycott was coordinated? AFAIK so far every advertiser who pulled out has a solid reason for doing so.
It's worth remembering when Robotaxi unveiling on 8/8 was initially announced - on April 5.

It was a very specific day - where Reuters reported that Tesla scrapped projects for a low cost car, and shares were tumbling >6% before Elon denied the story and some hours later announced the Robotaxi unveiling to stop the bleeding.

This is Enron of our times folks.
>We might know that catecholamines are pushed out of the presynaptic neurons, but how/why does that treat conditions like ADHD, Narcolepsy, Binge-Eating Disorder, etc.?

those disorders are often characterized by inappropriate dopamine/norepinepherine levels.

if you push more catecholamines into availability, while also reducing the ability for them to be re-uptaked by their associated transport chains, then the patient begins to edge towards a more normal saturation level of the deficit chemicals.
Apple gives 115 W as the peak draw of the lowest power Mac Studio model (10 core M1 Max) https://support.apple.com/en-us/10202) and 295 W for the highest power (M2 Ultra 24 Core).

I believe 38 W is what you see under your personal "full utilization workload" but it's just that's not comparable to "peak workload" numbers. To be honest the peak numbers are relatively useless anyways, you'll never hit them unless you go do something akin to running purpose written CPU and a GPU benchmark at the same time, specifically designed to utilize all of the hardware capabilities at once rather than do something useful with them. The idle and typical wattage numbers are much more useful and much lower.

Also keep in mind some CPU models (even of the same family) are pushed to e.g. double the wattage for a 25% multicore gain or the like. It doesn't mean the CPU family is complete shit for power efficiency it just means there was a market for a SKU which wasn't very concerned with power consumption.

All that said the M* line is definitely still better efficiency/Watt but I concur with qwytw the difference between Intel and Apple now vs 4 years ago is massively improved and the gap isn't as anywhere near as big as you've been listing.
100% agree with you; don't care if it's about 3d printing, AI, or rockets. My point is that until we can build a fully autonomous factory on Earth, we're not going to Mars.
Thanks, I was only going off the nutrition label, it shows 60% RDA per sheet. However, the reference link for the academy is broken; I wonder if they’ve changed their stance? Other references indicate raw nori has B12 but the drying process may turn it to an inactive form.
I heard that laughter was the best, so maybe exercise is a close second.
It's all about getting their hands on foreign currency. Similar systems were ubiquitous across Eastern Europe, with the DDR's Intershop probably the best known: you could even take the subway across to Friedrichstraße in East Berlin and shop at the platform without needing to go through passport control.

> I'm now wondering what sort of "data" is going to help you "charge the battery in a customer's device for them [or] move their phone closer to a cell tower."

None. The idea is that you have to think about what you'd actually do with that data once you've collected. If it's something that far-fetched, it isn't worth collecting that data. (This philosphy is also convenient for GDPR reasons)

Distributed systems are one place where metrics can be genuinely useful. They can be good at reducing the complexity of a bunch of interacting nodes down to something a bit more digestible. Distributed systems have their own fascinating technical challenges. One of the less-fascinating difficulties is that you're at the mercy of your client's IT. If they don't want their devices phoning home, you don't get real-time metrics. You might be able to store some stuff for offline diagnostic purposes, but other practical limits arise from there.

How do you detect partitions? You could have each device periodically record a snapshot of its routing table, but then if you wanted to identify the partition, you'd have to go fetch data from each node individually. So, maybe you have them share their routing tables with each other, thereby allowing the partition detection to happen on the fly. That's great, but now you're using precious, precious bandwidth hurling around diagnostic data that you might not even be able to access in practice. There's really no right answer here.
What's the difference between food and foodstuff?
The solution is simple. Stop dropping bombs on Palestinian children. Just because Hamas killed 1000 of your children does not mean you have to kill 20000 of Palestinians. 1000-20000 is not zero. The fact that you are not stopping bombing children makes you as evil as Hamas, if not worse.
> Perhaps the only way to make this inevitable tide of pressure and debate work for us is first to recognise it as a collective issue

Instead of identifying this as a market deficiency, they promote the idea that actually it's a collectivist cause. This isn't true, and it's an attempt to frame pronatalism as a "good versus evil" fight instead of a "cost optimization versus human interests" one. Again, Unherd will blame literally every single possible culprit except the concept of a free market betraying human interests. They deserve what they get, at this point.

Again, I already said these things. Are you looking for an argument? To say the last word? What's your point? Why link for an article from 2011?

Power is out in specific areas because Hamas was in control of all civil offices and they're gone. So while the grid is back up, there's no engineers to connect the destroyed relays.

The trucks are back in. The problem is on the other side of the fence https://www.npr.org/2024/04/09/1243752564/hundreds-of-aid-tr...

You can blame that problem on Israel too although this isn't something Israel can fix.

You're using a typical western POV which is severely broken and damaging to the people of Gaza. E.g.

"Hamas Leader Reacts to 3 Sons Being Killed: 'Thank God'"
https://www.newsweek.com/hamas-leader-reacts-3-sons-killed-t...

There's a picture of him smiling as he brings the news to his wife where you also see her smiling. I can't imagine losing a child, just thinking about him losing a child makes me tear up. It's unimaginable. Yet Hamas leaders consider the death and suffering of their own children in the Jihad as a blessing.

That is fanatic religious insanity. But they understand that the West doesn't see it that way. So they use Palestinian children in the most heinous ways possible, as couriers between their tunnels and bait. An accidental death of a child is propaganda and they live on that. Recently they published a video of an Israeli army dog attacking an old woman. They literally kidnapped that dog and used it to stage an attack for propaganda.

I'm not saying that horrible things aren't happening there due to Israeli actions. On the contrary, they are. But they are happening there for the most part because Hamas is an enemy of the Palestinian people as much as it is an enemy of Israel. It is using Hospitals, Schools and Mosques as bases. They placed a huge weapons cache under a refuge sanction, then when it exploded it was easy to blame Israel and for 24-48 hours the media reported that it was Israel.

Western ignorant good intentions are prolonging the war and making it worse because they're giving Hamas false hope.
Oh I see, so it's magic.
You're making a snap value judgement that offers no value. Perhaps you should keep your disrespectful comments about other people to yourself.
Whether something is physical or not is orthognal to whether it computes or not. You're the one who brought up physics so that's why I showed why your logic was invalid. My contention was that calling something a computer without providing an instruction set was nonsensical and I wanted to know if someone had actually spent the time to rigorously think about what a computer without an instruction set would entail. So far it seems like no one has spent any time really thinking about it but that's probably for the best anyway. I'm sure an LLM will eventually figure out an instruction set for programming people and then take over the world.
One rather significant yet under appreciated difference between human and computer path finding in general is that humans cannot BFS. The closest we can get is a sort of modified beam search. But there always will be a latency added when switching heads that computers simply do not have (módulo generally insignificant cache stuff, perhaps)

This has significant implications to search spaces that are very heavily branched with many deep dead ends but a relatively shallow goal.

The number of problems in general life matching that description is… huge.

This right here is why everyone who knows how to code is set for life. So many will never learn logic and problem solving due to AI. Then drumroll they won't be able to get AI to do anything of value for them.

> The people who designed it this way are the people who think that getting a voter ID is racist because somehow minorities are not as smart or capable as white people.

The ACLU has a handy 2-page document [1] explaining how voter ID laws get implemented and enforced in a racist way. It's not theoretical. Here's an excerpt, but you'll need the rest of the doc for the full picture.

> The travel required is often a major burden on people with disabilities, the elderly, or those in rural areas without access to a car or public transportation. In Texas, some people in rural areas must travel approximately 170 miles to reach the nearest ID office. And a year after Alabama's strict voter ID law went into effect, state officials tried to shut down 31 driver's license offices in majority-Black counties, which would have forced rural and minority voters to travel further to access licenses.

You could have side-paths that quickly go nowhere, but without any hints as to which ones do or don't. That way, backtracking towards the main path is pretty trivial and leads to a constant forward progression.

> But does anyone know a good metric for maze difficulty?

I think there are a bunch of problem-definition details that would need to be hammered out first, ex:

1. Is this solving the maze with perfect knowledge of its layout--a bird's eye view from above--or does it require gradual exploration to fill out the contours?

2. If it requires exploration, how far can you see? Do you need to actually spend a move to enter a square to know whether it is a dead end, or can you tell from N squares away? Is the viewer constrained by trigonometry, where they can only uncover partial knowledge about nearby rooms and small geometric quirks can have a big effect on exploration progress? Is there a distance limit to vision?

3. If it requires exploration, is there a cost to backtracking, or--like DFS--can you simply teleport between all places you've already been without a cost?

4. Is a "difficulty" rating across mazes based on a single algorithm, or the best-possible choice for that particular maze from a set, or does it represent the average expected effort expended by a particular population of different people/algorithms?

Because they don't, just make people addicted, soooo many.
For anyone interested in this. Look up Professor DeMarse’s work. He trained brain cell slurries to fly flight simulators something like 20 years ago. It’s really wild how much brain cells will self organize in ways that are useful
That’s not at all how multi-modal LLMs work - their visual input is not words generated by a classifier. Instead the image is divided into patches and tokenised by a visual encoder (essentially, it is compressed), and then fed directly as a sequence to the model.
> It's optimized for all the ATS nonsense it inevitably gets run through

How did you do/test that? I help maintain (didn't author it originally) the AwesomeCV template; we have an open issue about this, inconsistent results and not really having a good way to test it.
Same.

I'd just relax and de-focus for a moment, keeping my eyes on a printed maze but not really looking at it. To me, the path never really looked any different visually -- it was just clearly and distinctly evident in ways that I cannot properly articulate.

Once the path revealed itself through no particular effort on my part, I could trace it out with a pencil or a crayon or whatever.

I could do this trace by starting from random points in the middle, drawing lines towards the outside, or start at one end or the other. It didn't really make a difference to me where I started the trace. To me, I was just tracing parts of a path that I knew to be correct -- it didn't matter at all to me what order I drew them in.

It was a rather unpopular trick. Other kids were sure that I was cheating (as if I had a catalog of solutions to all of the world's mazes in my head or something) or showing off (they may have been right about this last part).

Adults would proclaim (rather insistently) I must be doing it wrong somehow despite consistently and confidently, if unconventionally, arriving at the correct answer on the first try. They tended to make it very clear that they were unappreciative of this departure from normalcy.

Work on a system with long range utility and complex business rules, and do a not so good job at implementing business rules in an easy to modify way!

As an intern, I wrote some perl4 scripts to grab the output from a mainframe, modify and merge some stuff from another report. It was a quick demo intended to be used to test the “enterprise software” being developed by a big consulting company.

Their software failed the test, so they used my code temporarily… this was back in 1997. Lol

Still there as far as I know! I’d guess there’s another 5-7 years before someone does away with it!
I would like to know how do you not use anyone's DNS.
LLMs don't even lead to sub-human intelligence. It produces text that qualifies for a number of truth-based benchmarks which we use as a statistical plinko-board to see which model's random-number-generator is tuned better. It cannot "think" because it is a bunch of text tokens being drawn from a heuristic hat. You can map a Markov Chain or a cat on a typewriter to these tests; they're not a measure of human intelligence at all.

There aren't lessons to learn, besides the fact that we're wasting our time. The only risk around AGI is that people will trust it as much as they trust current AI, and then risk their own annihilation when they casually accept a blatantly hallucinated answer. It's like if HAL-9000 came preinstalled with Alzheimer's, and we're still adamant that we can trust him to operate the airlock. It's time to get real and admit that any risk imposed by AGI (or regular AI, for that matter) is a failure in implementation. The concept of alignment is a bald-faced marketing ploy intent on selling "AI safety" to people that don't know what AI even is.

> The recently discovered bones include one Denisovan rib that dated to between 48,000 and 32,000 years ago. This is the same time that Homo sapiens were spreading across Eurasia. We already have evidence that these ancient humans lived in this area 190,000 years ago. The new fossil suggests they endured two cold periods and a warmer interglacial period between the Middle and Late Pleistocene eras.

So without mentioning what the evidence is about 190K years ago, from two points we infer that they were there the whole intervening time? If conditions were harsh, and if we know they eventually got at least as far as SE Asia, why would we not think that in the huge span between those points, they might have wandered away and later returned? 160k years is a long long time. Apparently humans came across the land bridge into the Americas like 16k years ago.
Wow, I could have written that exact comment myself. Those were the happy startx, after you got the monitor sync rates right. The myth went that if you got them wrong, you could fry the monitor.

AI doesn't have a will. AI doesn't make art. I think the real conversation is about harm. No one (nice) wants harm to be the outcome at the expense of others. The problem is identifying the harm and preventing that harm. This legislation is about the thought virus equating digital "things" with physical "things". They are not the same. We are deeply prone to skeuomorphism but we should fight this urge so we can appropriately address real harm and that is sadly being missed entirely by these politicians.

> Was this in the US or elsewhere, what was the amount and how long did it take to notice? Just curious.

It was in Australia, amount was thousands of dollars, she noticed when she was asked to enter yet another code and all of a sudden it made her snap out of her "autopilot" and take notice and look at the URL and other details. So as soon as she realised that something was fishy, she logged into the correct site, then saw the money was gone.

> In the US the bar to pull money out of an account is pretty low. Most banks would allow reasonably-sized transfers out with just routing and account numbers. I was stunned by this, but this is the reason utilities and stores can pull your money without you even talking to your bank. Just give them the info. And that information is not secret, it is printed on your every check. The flip size is that for those "convenience" and service payments the money is easy to get back: banks, at least traditional, will bend over backwards to prevent being seen as enabling fraud.

This was a "pay anyone" transfer. So money was being transferred to a bank by BSB/Account number in the background. The bank required a code when a new Payee is added, but the codes were not differentiated, so she was asked for a code to login, then told the code was wrong and asked for another code. In the background the real banking site to which her actions were being replaced had successfully logged in and had initiated a transfer to a new Payee. The real banking site asked the attackers for a code to add the new Payee, the fake banking site asked her for a new code to login.

The thing that really enabled the attack is that the same code generator was used for both codes, without any indication that a different action was being performed.
Please display your definition of "political" which makes sense in all our usual contexts but also makes at least some art unable to be viewed as political.
