This is only a problem with really big and popular brands, where they leverage their brand at scale to generate more revenue.

You can find smaller brands that have been doing high quality stuff for a while, and they're unlikely to blow up in popularity or to reduce quality.

Docs are not my style so I don't know a good small brand that does boots like that, but I like Buttero, Crown Northhampton and John Elliott for boots/shoes. Beckett Simonon is a good brand for more formal shoes. Morjas is another brand for more formal shoes that looks really good, though I haven't bought anything from them yet.

Hi--wordy response, interesting subject. Thanks.

tl;dr answer is "Eh, its not so simple." but you're right on a basic level.

No, the North Korean ballistic missiles have from my non-classified top-of-the-head understanding a range of around 1000 to 3000 KM. The best-case scenario ranges that are sabre-rattled are certainly theoretical. They do not have ICBM capability and are not capable of launching an ICBM or exiting the Earth's atmosphere, but they do threaten Japan.

Strike capabilities reaching North Korea do indeed exist. All three legs of the nuclear triad may strike a North Korean target, but airplanes must sortie from the Pacific (leaving them vulnerable to detection, interception or suppression) or follow the course of a land-based ballistic missile strike which by necessity must pass over Russia, China, or much less feasibly, India.

As you mention we do have ICBMs that are capable of striking basically and literally anywhere on the planet. This is not really enough, because those ICBMs must pass through many, many layers of enemy strategic defenses.

From a nuclear arms point of view, its likely that our longest range reach-out-and-touch-ya' weapon systems really need to carpet-bomb entire regions and cities to achieve their designed operational objective. In effect, we're going to lose too much accuracy as well as ordinance to shoot-downs, reducing our effectiveness in the vicinity to a near minimum. Minimum lethality is quite lethal, but considering a maniacal super-villain's armored bunker really and truly is what we need to begin constructing a realistic view of the challenges set forth here. This analysis completely disregards the possible side effect of poisoning Seoul, South Korea with nuclear fallout as well as triggering a chain reaction of thermonuclear retaliatory strikes in a horrific reprisal of the 1914 assassination of the Austro-Hungarian Prince Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo.

In short, its in a tricky spot. Luckily, the most danger they (North Korea) pose is to local Pacific naval operations, intense cold-war era artillery bombardment of South Korea (Seoul) or the possibility of a regionally effective ballistic missile. In addition to these threats, they also pose cybersecurity, money laundering and counterfeiting risks and of course, their people are starving in a totalitarian hell-hole regime.

I hope that one day there is an end to the pointless suffering of the people who live in North Korea.

I think today we can use LLMs to decide what websites are shit. The wheel is turning. SEO artists will have to provide actually useful, non-spammy content. If Google doesn't do it, some uBlock like service will implement it on user side. Or we'll just use chatGPT with search and not see the cesspool at all. You can edit its system prompt to avoid shit in search results.
I'm not going to argue with you on this particular case as I don't know enough about the local area and can't be bothered to do any research.

However, my comment was really to provide context for some of the sweeping statements you were making, e.g.

> I find the recent religious switch towards worship of nature somewhat disconcerting...
> ...a few sea birds, who, if they are bothered by the launches, can fly a few miles away and be content again...
> Nature adapts to changes. It always had.

If you want my two cents, I think people are turning to nature because:

1. It's threatened with virtual annihilation by the externalities of our hegemonic economic system.
2. Many people have to deal with their (natural) human nature being ground down as they are forced to file off their rough edges to fit into the position of cogs in an uncaring economic/totalitarian machine. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people feel relatively powerless to do much about their internal personal situation, but see that analogous processes are destroying the natural world outside of themselves and feel that's something worth fighting for too.

Most gas powered drones don’t actually use much fuel and thus their oxygen use is limited. At the extreme end a 20 pound drone might use the same oxygen per minute as ~5 people and you’re not going to stay in the same place for that long vs people going through rough terrain. If anything adding gas sensors would more than make up for such issues.

Personally I’d be more concerned with explosive gas mixtures, but that’s not an issue in most cave systems.
The interface between the openpilot and the car is a standalone device (the panda) that provides and enforces the safety model. All code is written in C to automotive safety standards including ISO26262, ISO11270, ISO15622, and MISRA-C. 100% line coverage for all safety unt tests.

They also run pretty extensive tests (regression, unit, hardware/software-in-the-loop, mutation, and vehicle specific) on every commit and have actual hardware devices continually running real routes looking for regressions.

Taking about just deaths is misleading. Accidents in other energy sources don't render 1,000 square miles of land uninhabitable.
The writing in that blog post also posits some questions in a manner that doesn’t seem all that good:

> What counts as “safety”? Which places in the world are truly safe for LGBTQIA+ community? How much of a city, or state, or country needs to be LGBTQIA+ hostile for the whole of it to be declared unworthy of PSF support?

Meanwhile: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_Tanzania

> Homosexuality in Tanzania is a socially taboo topic, and same-sex sexual acts (even in private and consensual) are criminal offences, punishable with life imprisonment.

While I have no idea what counts as “truly safe”, that’s definitely not it! I wouldn’t want any of my friends who happen to be queer to go to a place where they might face life imprisonment for the crime of… existing?

As far as exclusion goes, that’s a pretty clear case of that, a different venue would be better. Some people might say that if a change of venue isn’t possible (for some reason?) then that means that everyone would miss out on the event if it couldn’t happen, at which point people will probably have different opinions about whether taking a stance on inclusion is worth it or not, depending on their views.

Calling it an “ideology” might be unconventional, but maybe not entirely wrong as far as the semantics go (beliefs shared by a group of people) - the same way my “ideology” would be that women also deserve to vote, don’t need to cover their faces with garments if they don’t feel like it etc. The ideology of human rights, I guess.

>> "Not engaging at all" allows the engaging group to completely take over and expunge their opposition.

I agree with this point, though. Except that in any conflict you should choose yourself on which side you are on, sometimes the engaging group might be right.

Can’t comment more on this particular case, just on the linked article and what I read.

My favourite cover of "Who By Fire" is by Susanne Wallumrød, featuring Giovanna Pessi on harp and Jane Achtman on viola da gamba [1].

The whole album — a mix of renaissance, baroque, and modern songs (such as The Plaint by Henry Purcell) performed on viola da gamba and harp — is superb.

> Although isn’t it a statistic that all batteries we’ve ever manufactured would power the world for what, 15 minutes

Is it really that much? That's incredible!

You have to realize that battery manufacturing capacity has been growing at an exponential rate. 15 minutes of global power capacity will quickly turn into 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, etc. 8 hours of global storage is enough to survive the night with just solar alone.

15 minutes is already a huge win. The more lead time we have for production ramping, the cheaper and more efficient we can make the plants that provide backup power.
It's hard to say without knowing the details of the contract. I highly doubt Constellation put themselves in a position to be vulnerable to cost overruns. Or perhaps they see the deal as a shiny pendant they can dangle in front of dumb PE money when they want to cash out in the future.

> ...I think I assumed some familiarity with moving data around/migrations...

I am familiar with this sort of thing, yes.

I'm also professionally familiar with people who seem to think that it's totally acceptable to obligate folks to throw away large fractions of their valuable historical data in the name of cost savings. "Surely you can identify the most valuable 10% of your data!" they say.

Given that I don't know you and what you know, and given that I've encountered a shockingly high number of these fools with a fetish for data destruction, I chose to expect the worst from your somewhat-ambiguous statement... which would ensure that at least one of us learned something, regardless of the truth of the situation.

Who said anything about an apple store?

> What am I supposed to use it for, a $3,500 dedicated 360-degree porno machine? An overpriced streaming client for desktop VR? I have literally zero applications for it, I wouldn't have a reason to own Apple's headset if it was as cheap as an iPhone.

Like I said, I think right now it's a glorified dev kit. If you have one, you can get a head start on making apps/experiences so that when the mass market one comes out, you can be on the app store already. Many people including myself didn't buy an iPhone until the 4 one came out.

> For $3,500 it's not a competitive AR experience
> If the iPhone has taught us anything, it's that when prices drop, profit margins rise

My whole point is not to use the current price as an indicator of anything. Apple cut the price of the first iPhone by 50% after 3 months due to poor sales.

>> Once the weight is reduced and the input UI is fixed, it will be truly useful.
>Do you honestly believe that? After hundreds of failed attempts to make VR useful, you sincerely think Apple will be the one to do it?

I believe if the weight and input are addressed, then it's automatically a million times better. But it's not the only thing that needs to be fixed. It also needs a bigger field of view and battery life. But the MOST IMPORTANT thing is a better input method. It's obvious that for input methods, Apple has a huge head start compared to everyone else. (mouse, click-wheel, multi-touch, force touch, etc). They are probably keeping their cards close on input to the vest until the mass market version is ready in order to keep their head start. For now, gaze tracking is all we have.

> Gaze tracking is more trouble than it's worth
I think gaze tracking is great, but shouldn't be required for input.

The outside display feels unnecessary right now because the whole device is meant to be used at home. But the fact that they are building this tells us they are working on a more mobile version of it, where interacting with other people is actually important.

The thing is no one is forcing you to buy it. You can buy the competitors if you prefer. You have the opportunity to start developing apps on the apple system, for an up front cost. Or you can wait for the cheaper, better ones to come out and not have a head start on making apps. It's whatever.
That was what I was implying. Not sure if its accurate, just a gut feeling atm.
They are referring to the liz truss budget.
Right one is where I draw the line, take it or leave it.

Jokes aside, I just don't think the size of the device should be what decides the features that go into it. Sure, battery would be on the chopping block unless you make the device thicker, but I would have no problem with a thicker device, especially if it's otherwise the size of the 12/13 mini.

I'm confident it's possible to make a device the size of the 13 mini (slightly thicker to accommodate larger battery), with all the features of the 16 Pro, and I bet it would sell like hot cakes. I think many Pro purchasers buy Pro as a status symbol, but they don't actually want a large phone, that's my head canon for explaining why the 12/13 mini had poor sales figures, and I guess I know I'm probably wrong, but I want to be right, I'm tired of these huge phones that don't fit in my hand.

'tree of arrays'

Ahh, that's just Jax's concept of pytrees. It was something that they invented to make it easier (this is how I view it, not complete) to pass complex objects to function but still be able to easily consider them as a concatenated vector for AD etc.. E.g. a common pattern is to pass parameters `p` to a function and then internally break them into their physical interpretations, e.g. `mass = p[0]`, `velocity = p[1]`. Pytrees let you just use something like a dictionary `p = {'mass' = 1.0, 'velocity = 1.0'}`, which is a stylistically more natural structure to pass around, and then jax is structured to understand later when AD'ing or otherwise that you're doing so with respect to the 'leaves' of the tree, or the values of the mass and velocity.

Hopefully someone corrects me if I'm not right about this. I'm hardly 100% on Jax's vision on PyTrees.

One interesting application could be instant messaging over extremely bandwidth constrained paths. I wouldn’t be surprised if Apple were doing something like this for their satellite-based iMessage implementation.

Their solution is to allow private funds to fund essential infrastructure, it seems.

Which to me just rings hollow, or at best, only a part of the answer. They're correct on some aspects of it, other parts they just gloss over. IE They say that there has been an "erosion" of the industrial base in the UK, while actually the blame could be laid at the feet of Thatcher's service-led policies.
UV is definitely higher -- there are about 300K new skin cancer cases per year world wide and about 60K deaths per year from it. Most (although not all) of these are due to UV exposure. That being said, before you blame the sun itself, a lot of this is due to ozone depletion (which is still a thing even though sometimes people make it sound like the problem is solved just because the ozone hole is shrinking)

Even with prompt caching this adds a huge extra time to your vector database create/update, right? That may be okay for some use cases but I’m always wary of adding multiple LLM layers into these kinds of applications. It’s nice for the cloud LLM providers of course.

I wonder how it would work if you generated the contexts yourself algorithmically. Depending on how well structured your docs are this could be quite trivial (eg for an html doc insert the title > h1 > h2 > chunk).

> When you get plentiful and nearly free solar energy at certain times of the year, the utilization of your nuclear power plant will drop

In the short run, sure. In the long run, cheap power builds its own demand. A country that commits to a certain amount of nuclear baseload, even if run at a loss in the short term, is injecting a very real industrial subsidy into its system. (The way to ensure you don’t get a dog is to subsidise long-term loans for private borrowers. They still need to make a profit someday. But you reduce the time value of money for them.)

The investment doesn’t make sense for a non-nuclear power. But if you’re already producing nuclear waste at scale for your military, it’s a little silly to pretend you’re safer without a civilian reactor in the middle of a desert while all manner of subs and ships patrol your coast.

The beat of the drum has long been "repeal the ACA" for a political party. It rallies people to undo a sweeping change the other party put in place, but it has never materialized. So many parts of the ACA poll very popular, a complete repeal without a really good alternative (which has also never materialized beyond "a concept of a plan") would be a surefire way to immediately lose political standing.

And perhaps most sad of all of this is ACA didn't even remove health insurance from its tie to employers. There are still massive inefficiencies for people who hit a deductible or max out pocket early in the year. They'll either need to pay through the nose for COBRA through the year end, or switch jobs and start over with the deductible and max out of pocket, which for large swaths of the population is simply not a reasonable option. Switching near the start of the plan year is optimal, but definitely less efficient overall.

In 2020 I learned health insurance premiums from your paycheck are taken pre-tax, however you cannot deduct COBRA premiums. It really rubs salt in the wound for people who have been laid off.
