I like nicotine pouches because its just plant fibre soaked/sprayed with nicotine. Its convenient like gum.

That being said I only do the 4mg option and usually after work with a beer. I dont think I'm addicted to them because I dont do them compulsively.

I know some people use nicotine to deal with anxiety or restlessness or something. I kind of like the buzz, since nicotine is a poison sourced from a plant.

Sorry tangential rant lol
Competitive marketplace for trained neural nets?
For the purpose of this question, let's constrain to a use-case where you need offline functionality and you are recognizing letters and numbers and perhaps simple objects.

As an app developer I would like to have a pluggable architecture where I can pick "The Best" black box. I have an image which is the input to the black box, and I want to get some output. The output is metadata about objects or entities found in the image, their location and confidence level.

I'd like to see a marketplace where providers are competing to license me their custom proprietary pre-trained neural net.

Has anything like this existed or have I missed the boat completely?

I've used FSD as a subscription from time to time. I can't think of an intervention (and there have been many) that was to avoid an accident. They were all things like "that's closer to those cones than I'd like to be," "okay, apparently missing lane markers that have yet to be repainted is understandably hard," or "that was a trailer speed limit sign -- we're not towing so now we're going way below the posted limit."

A lot of my interventions when trying it out were things like it going too close to curbs for my comfort, so more violations of my own defensive driving standards rather than potential accidents. But! It did have some near traffic violations that would have happened if I hadn’t intervened.

But the distance between my own driving standards and accident is large.

Fatal heart attacks at 37 and 40 are crazy. The DGCA's 2024 handbook reports 9,390 pilots and copilots (page 25[1]). Heart attacks at very young ages are more common in India because of rates of smoking and diabetes, but not that common. The large majority of people typically survive MI at that age, and I'm sure those 2 examples are far from exceptional.

> IndiGo, India’s largest airline, announced it would be an “early adopter” of a wrist-worn fatigue-monitoring device it was developing with French defense and aerospace company Thales Group.

That's toeing the line. If your employer is measuring things like your heart rate variability and blood pressure to figure out how close you personally are to a heart attack, and deciding whether it's worth it to cancel your flight so you can rest- that's abhorrent. It's somehow worse than the employer purchasing your health. It's planned obsolescence for people. How many people would drop dead a year after retiring? Horrifying.

The problem is not a lack of pilots or the needs of the country, either. There are foreign pilots and airlines. It's just pilots being driven far too hard by institutions. It won't go away when there are more pilots, it will just become calcified. This is a habit that should be ended through legal means, and fast.

No it isn't. The GP accused the flaggers of flagging it for ideological reasons, because it goes "counter to their narrative."

Tobacco bans are the way of the future, with existing smokers grandfathered out of the ban to minimize political opposition. If you're born after X date then it will never be legal for you to but it.

Opposition to bans is sort of a libertarian dogma, they say bans never work and only make the problem worse or introduce new problems, and usually cite alcohol prohibition in America. But a lot of bans do work, and even that one apparently succeeded in reducing alcohol consumption even if it did empower organized crime. What's more, it's pretty easy to ferment alcohol in your basement but it's a lot harder to hide fields of tobacco. Political dogma never captures the nuance of reality.

> This one always felt off to me. Humans spent millennia working out the navigation problem.

Even the navigation problem still offers some challenges that most apps fail to address. Consider the store locator function common on retail business websites and apps. They usually just compute the straight line distance from you to the stores and show the stores within some particular range, sorted by distance.

That's probably fine most of the time, but consider a place like Seattle and its surrounding areas. Suppose you are in Kingston, which is on the west side of Puget Sound about 5 miles away from the east side, which is the side Seattle is on.

The Walgreens store locator shows 10 stores when searching for stores near Kinston, and 9 of them are on the Seattle side of Puget Sound. Crossing the Sound there is a 30 minute ferry ride that costs around $20 each way if you are bringing your car.

The one it shows on the west side of the Sound is on Bainbridge Island and that is probably not the one someone in Kinston would go to. They would go to the one in Silverdale. It's actually closer to Kinston than the one on Bainbridge by road distance, but slightly farther away straight line.

The one in Silverdale is on their list, as are three in Bremerton and one in Port Orchard, which are all closer in terms of time and travel expenses to Kingston than are any of the ones on the Seattle side, but you only see those on the map if you hit the "load more" button. Once brings in Silverdale and a couple in Bremerton, and twice brings in the rest.

Similar for businesses whose site has an option to find items in stock locally. They often report an item is locally available, but it turns out to only be in stores across the Sound.

Law is some kind of magic, though. Consider the case where I want to cast the "Lawyer" protection spell.

If I chant "I am invoking my right to remain silent. I want to contact my attorney" then the police must stop questioning me and provide me one [1]. The spell worked.

If I chant "This is how I feel, if y’all think I did it, I know that I didn’t do it so why don’t you just give me a lawyer dog ’cause this is not what’s up" then my spell is not strong enough and the police can interrogate me as they see fit [2].

This is an insult to the doctors I know who deliberately chose to do primary care because they were more motivated by service than money or prestige. For that matter, I know a developer who chose to work in IT support for a cancer research center because he put more value on helping to cure cancer than making more money. There actually are people out there who value service to the community more than fame or fortune. They deserve praise, not scorn.
I also think that the GC of D is really a nice feature. Sometimes you want manual memory management in low level code, but there is also a ton of stuff where it doesn't really matter and a GC just makes things easier. For example, if you're writing an in-memory cache service, you really don't want the cache entries themselves to be tracked by the GC since the GC is often unaware of the actual access patterns and just gets in the way, but most of the other components of that service are better served with a GC.

Many great suggestions in this thread. Some that I didn't spot:

Lua isn't tough to pick up given you already know JS and Python. It's a bit of a weird hybrid of the two in its own unique ways. If you show that you are learning it with your child, sometimes that can be a great experience. Löve2D can be a fun, very self-contained sandbox: https://www.love2d.org/

On the Python side, Ren'Py can be a great place to start. Visual Novels may not be half as popular outside of Japan, but Visual Novel-like conversations are everywhere in modern games and you can start with easy to script "Choose Your Own Adventure" Visual Novel conventions and expand to a wide range of genres from RPGs to "life sims" to some form of turn-based strategy games easily from there (and just about anything with more work). Ren'Py starts from its own relatively simple conversation-focused scripting language with Python-like conditions, and then allows you to expand towards custom Python code as you get familiar with it. https://www.renpy.org/

I can't tell for sure if the "ironically" refers to it feeling ironic that Facebook didn't collude, or that Pixar did collude. If it's the latter, it's because Jobs was CEO and primary shareholder of Pixar and orchestrated it's purchase by Disney to get himself a seat on the Disney board. Ironically, if I'm recalling the biography correctly, Jobs made significantly more money from Pixar than he did from his first phase at Apple.
It raises the question - begging the question is something else.

As for the question, it probably has to do with the gender of the noun. I bet 'deer' derives from a neuter-gendered word in Anglo-Saxon, while 'bird' does not.

Noun gender is the system used by many languages to categorize words that have different declension rules. It's atrophied in English, but is implicitly still present in the various "inconsistencies" that pop up.

FSD, as Tesla markets it, is hype. They are no where close to a marketable solution for the use cases they advertise - Robotaxis, the ability to step out of your car and have it park somewhere else by itself, etc.

Yes, they will get it to 99% at some point - but 99% is not good enough for legal liability.

FSD is an ambitious goal and I don’t criticize Musk for pursuing it. But I will criticize him for using it as a distraction from the fact that Tesla has a stale and/or uncompetitive product line and is rapidly losing their lead to both conventional OEMs and Chinese EV makers.
These are some serious mental gymnastics. It depends on:

1. The government providing massive funds for AI safety research. There is no evidence for this.
2. Sam Altman and everyone else knowing this will happen and planning for it.
3. Sam Altman, amongst the richest people in the world, and everyone else involved, not being greedy. (Despite the massive evidence of greed)
4. San altman heroically abandoning his massive profits down the line.

Also, even in your story, Sam Altman profits wildly and is somehow also not motivated by that profit.

On the other hand, a much simpler and more realistic explanation is available: he wants to get rich.
I believe things would improve if we raised kids explaining them that the house always wins. It's a rigged game. Most people can't predict outcomes better than picking randomly and that way they are guaranteed to lose money because of the margins the bookies have. So if you know that you can play for fun from time to time, but not get in over your head.

But then I remember that so many are counting on the fact that people will stay uneducated so they can rip them off.
> These are the hard problems to solve. These are the big problems of our time. If you all love problem solving why aren't you doing anything in this space?

With the exception of inequality and homelessness, you're not describing "the big problems of our time". You're only describing problems specific to the US, and problems that don't hit other countries as hard because they actually tackle those problems.
You’re both correct. The legal system has absolutely no idea how to handle the copyright issues around using content for AI training data. It’s a completely novel issue. At the same time, the tech companies have a lot more money to litigate favorable interpretations of the law than the content companies.

I disagree, with AI the dynamics are very different from recording.

Current AI can greatly elevate what a beginning artist can produce. If you have a decent grasp of proportions, perspective and good ideas, but aren't great at drawing, then using AI can be a huge quality improvement.

On the other hand if you're a top expert that draws quickly and efficiently it's quite possible that AI can't do very much for you in a lot of cases, at least not without a lot of hand tuning like training it on your own work first.
I think the point was that despite all this the only thing that you can reliably make is a fancy chat bot. A human has to be in the seat making the real decisions and simply referring to open AI.

I mean there's TTS and some translation stuff that's in there but it's hard to call that "AI" despite using neural networks and the like to solve that problem.

It goes both ways. AI is used in both benefic ways as well as malefic ones. I don't think it's a net positive but that's just my opinion.
> Even if no interpretation is perfect, raising the bar is better.

Can you explain why? What metric are you using? What is the end goal?

I ask because there are many metrics that I care about:

- pace of discovery

- cost of discovery

- ability to work in directions that have high risk and high reward

What I don't really care about

- outsiders skimming over the literature, misinterpreting it, and coming to bad conclusions.

Raising the "rigor" bar only seems to be positive for this metric that I don't care about.

Somewhat offtopic, but this website weights 68MB, and it takes over 10 seconds on my machine to render (latest Firefox, Ryzen 5600G, 32GB RAM).

Ontopic: I see that it is not particularly expensive ($180 on Kickstarter), and it has a bunch of random fun-ish features... but is there a demand for this? I'm asking seriously. I can imagine this being a fun project to put together for oneself, but is it something for the masses? Or is this post and the KS a test for this?

That's a nice theory but no.

There are several different kinds of configs.

The phone is global and not carrier locked, and you can make calls and sms and data.

It "works", just poorly. It works at a basic level, just not full coverage, not full speed, and not all features available.

Different countries use different radio bands, and so a phone that is nominally sold in a given country only enables those bands that are legal in that country.

So this phone is nominally for HK, which is the model with greatest overlap of supported bands with at least some US carriers. The hardware can do everything but the config that prevents it is sort of like a virtual hardware difference. In the past there might be different radio hardware, and now there is one hardware that is made to act like different hardware through firmware.

Without all available bands, you get less coverage and more contention with other users for available bandwidth. And your choice of carrier makes a big difference. Some of the mvnos only provide 2 or 3 bands total, while others might have a dozen.

Shizuku can not fix that particular problem. For that you have to be able to root the phone and edit some files in the rom. The term to search is "mbn hacking".

This has not been done for this phone yet, but apparently all the pieces are there to make it possible because the bootloader is unlockable and there is a way to unpack and repack a firmware.

I have unlocked my bootloader and tried to flash a modified bootloader to get magisk working, but it refused to flash the partition even though it's supposedly unlocked. So I don't have root and can't edit anything in the rom.

For another example, although basic 4g gsm works, there is no volte, vowifi, or vonr, simply because the carrier doesn't explicitly recognize or support the make & model.

But you can use Shizuku and Pixel IMS to enable all of those and they work fine. The settings in this case are tied to the sim. Once you set the settings they survive reboots and you can even uninstall the apps, but if you change your sim you lose the settings.
I'm looking forward to trying out incremental backups as well as JSON_TABLE.

At best Rent Control is a mixed bag. See history of NYC. For those lucky enough to "get in on the ground floor" its great. For others, not so much, as the landlords jack the rent to cover their "losses" on the controlled rent.

I would say Rent Control causes more harm than good overall.

How do sports teams derive income from this? Is it just in the sense of increased viewership and the possibility of sponsorships from the gambling companies?
