It is hilarious to refer to the US practice as extreme in comparison to the Barbary practices. I'm curious what makes you think that?

And I am sympathetic to pushback. Many of these discussions are thinly veiled "slavery in the states wasn't bad" nonsense. Slavery in all forms is bad. Period.
According to Wikipedia[1]:

> Four variants of the NGDV are expected to be in fleet use: both gasoline-powered and battery-electric, in either front wheel drive or all wheel drive.

So I expect the front hood is for the gas powered engine for those variants. Further down, it talks about only 10% will be EV at the start due to cost. Also, this is in partnership with Ford so the ICE power train is the from the Ford Transit van.

Can current techniques be scaled/improved/optimized to do this or do we need new techniques?

It took 30 years in the generative art world to move from cave paintings to the level that we have today because we needed new techniques.

For podcasts we are at the cave paintings level.

If we can get to professional level quality podcasts with the current techniques then we might only be a few years away.

I think it is more likely we will need new techniques which puts us potentially decades away.

If we look at LLMs the improvements over the last 18+ months since gpt4 was released have been minor despite incredible levels of investment.
I'm not sure where the contradiction is. The key to me is "which places a high academic standard and holds teachers accountable", which I equate to "rigorous training". I guess the difference is on how we define "talented". To me most kids are just educable, which means they don't constantly push themselves, they don't take initiatives to dig deeper, nor do they proactively find resources to do more. Or they struggle without careful guidance. Yet they can make leap and bounds when they experience a rigorous program. These kids need nurturing from the teachers. At least that's my personal experience: I was content with my performance, until the problem sets showed that I was not really as good as imagined. Also, I believe that training makes a big difference to people of similar level of talent. That is, wealth can't push a kid who struggles with Algebra II to understand calculus, but may well help a student with sufficient talent to stand out. My personal experience: I went to college, didn't have the drive to push through the tomb of Demidovich. And then my friend got me a much shorter book for challenging problem sets in Analysis. With his help I finished the book, and man, what a difference it made. I stayed top of my class and became a TA on calculus in my sophomore year.
When Carlos Monteiro decided to operationalize UPFs by giving them a definition (laymans terms: UPF is one ingredient you wouldn't find in a traditional kitchen and wrapped in plastic) Kevin Hall from the US had the same reaction as you and decided to make a multi-million dollar experiment to disprove the definition proposed by Dr. Monteiro. Result: People who ate unprocessed lost weight, and the other group gained weight. (Groups were exchanged after 2 weeks and saw similar effects).
No, it does not, since ultra-processed, though not a strictly defined term, does not include household ingredients like granulated sugar or brown sugar. If you happen to have a jar of HFCS in your cabinet then that would quality.
“if err” doesn’t catch all types of errors. Some errors are colored different from others and instead cause the program to immediately crash, sorry panic. But don’t worry! it’s just very rare errors, like nil dereference and index out of bounds, that throw unrecoverable errors like this!
> tons of evidence that counters your theory?

Which evidence?
All the evidence points to the iMac being a massive dude slowly being phased out. I don’t think I’m jumping through weird hoops. I think you are in denial because you somehow want the iMac to be a wanted product for a reason I fail to understand (are you on the iMac team?).

> And Apple does the same amount of marketing for its iMac as it does for every other Mac.

Very funny. Apple does significant marketing for the laptop here in Europe. The iMac could at well not exist.
The phrase as originally coined is from the Nova classification system, proposed in 2009 by researchers at the University of São Paulo, Brazil: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nova_classification

Wow, a bright spot.
Photography has never been a cheap hobby, and there have always been a few manufacturers at the top end of engineering able to reach higher and higher.

Regarding digital, Leica made several false starts - its M8 and M9 were excreble - and it finally understood that you couldn't spend all the money on machining brass to protect the innards made of cheese.

The Q2 is/was/whatever in a league of its own and the closest thing I have yet found to my old G2. The lens is pretty much too good, it resolves everything, and everything is there, always, and you want for nothing. The rest of the camera is a joy to use, I've had it for five years and they have nailed the usability. It is constrained, of course, but as an everyday camera that is a joy to use, it's amazing. Couple that with brand cachet and awareness, and no wonder they're finally doing brilliantly. The new digital strategy also shed some of the duller old-school gatekeepers like the late Erwin Puts with his whining about the "soul of Leica products being eradicated" (see https://photo.imx.nl/blog/files/75caecf5a21140ab6c9b46f825ef...).

And many of the comments about the Q-series talk about rediscovered the joy of photography and shooting. I lent my Q2 to a friend for an extended play and they were in love with in and what it let them do.

Joy-to-use.

Superlative image quality and colour.

I was in gifted, and transferred through a number of public schools too. Unfortunately I don’t remember much from those years except for them being very disorganized and being made very aware by teachers and others that we were supposed to be “different”. Whatever that meant.

One thing I do know is that the outcome of kids that were part of the gifted program was very normally distributed. Some people made out just fine when they got to adulthood, and some of them absolutely ruined their lives.

I still think the whole thing was ridiculous and instilled the wrong ideas and lessons to us.
Probably in the minority, but I actually like the look of them. I find so many modern car designs indistinguishable from each other. Cars such a narrow range of design that's considered "good aesthetics" that everything looks so uniform.
Worked for a major ecommerce company that did this too - It was extremely unpleasant to work under (yet profitable if you won) and I don't like the practice but it was pretty effective. I'd guess that YC would take the "sea turtle" reproduction pattern here of hatching a bunch of mostly similar turtles and hoping a couple of them make it to sea. Stinks for the small guys that don't make it though.
Is mined food processed food?
If you are interested in looking into the details of microbenchmarks of this type, there is always https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/... which has clearly defined methodology and allows to understand wall-clock time vs CPU cost too.

The benchmark code linked in the submission unfortunately suffers from the mistakes that happen whenever you write a benchmark for the first time. The visuals are pretty but might as well have been based on something more comprehensive.

(also, please stop measuring performance with loops that perform no work and fibonacci sequences, this was bad 30 years ago, this is bad today too)
From my desk at home I see the lil LLV come down our private road every single day. With retrofitted LED lighting.

Since I'm not the target audience I can't say whether this is both "automatic" and the thing you're looking for, but: https://iterm2.com/documentation-preferences-general.html#:~...

Especially since the old LLVs were pretty ugly in their own way. We've just gotten used to seeing them over the last 38 years.

All of those immediately have something attention-grabbing within the first few seconds: picture of Mars' surface, run map showing funny human shape, text with "Gen Z programmers are crazy" prefacing the anecdote, going immediately into the IT-related rap, guy holding a big and cool-looking stick, "dealing with your 10x coworker" immediately showing the point of the video. The only one that doesn't is the SQL one I guess but that's a very low view count (relatively) on a niche channel.

So thanks for providing a bunch of examples that prove my point, I guess?

Google and Apple's moat in the mobile world is the monopoly Qualcomm has on modems and those two players being the only ones who can afford them, but nobody wants to talk about that.
hmm no one has discussed this "carpenter group", who appear to be on a spree in 2024 of snatching up smaller news orgs, and cutting 50% of the staff. seems like a pretty big gamble on AI.

> Carpenter Media Group announced earlier this month it had acquired another group of newspapers, Pamplin Media Group, in Oregon. The company now owns and manages 180 newspapers in the United States and Canada.

> “We are committed to Everett, The Herald and all who have a stake in its success,” Chairman Todd Carpenter said. “We have deep sympathy for those affected by these changes and will work hard with each of them to see they are well-compensated through a transition period that helps them move forward in a positive way.

“Our responsibility to the community and our readers requires us to make difficult business decisions, and then invest in and organize our team to move forward to produce a product that continues to improve and serve. Our track record in this process is good."

would be very interested to see todd carpenter's data on that last point.

edit - the carpenter media group does not have a wikipedia entry, but the companies it owns do. interesting

Are there really state standards that don't include the bill of rights in any of civics/US Gov/US History?? I know US public educational varies a lot based on state and locality, but that IS a surprise.
Google's moat for search on the user side is quality, habit and integration but Google search is free and compared other "FANG" companies, Google is actually fairly vulnerable imo.

Apple's moat is people's hardware investment, their interface, their brand in a way that is socially significant as well as implying a real quality difference. Apple's overall moat is much larger than Google's.

Edit: and the specific non-moaty part of LLMs is that their answers are generic - LLMs don't have "personalities" because they are a trained average of all publicly available human language. If a given LLM had restrictions, it wouldn't be as useful.
I think it's a misquote of the phrase "Form ever follows function", commonly attributed to architect Louis Sullivan. It's an odd sentence structure, where the leader comes second in the phrasing, that trips people up.
Knowing about something doesn't mean it should be bogging down half your workday though. I think it's important for engineers to understand a high level the platform that runs their code and how it scales, but if they're spending a large chunk of their time orchestrating deployments and screwing around in IAM as OP insinuates, that's a red flag IMO. My teams certainly don't.
> the road to hell is paved with good intentions

The longer I live the more the truth of this gets reinforced. We humans really are kind of bad at designing systems and/or solving problems (especially problems of our own making). Most of us are like Ralph Wiggum with a crayon sticking out of our noises saying, "I'm helping!"

PLA and copper co-printing by FDM and laser sintering hybridization [video]
[From the video's description, I am not the author]

This video is a presentation proposed at the 2023 spring MRS conference
After some background information on existing techniques for 3D printed electronic, it introduces a new concept: Using a multi toolhead FDM printer/Laser diode to print and make conductive a copper composite material.

Structuralism can mean different things based on the context, I think the post you're replying to is meaning Structuralism in the philosophical context, but I think the post they're replying to is meaning it in the literary context (which derives from the philosophical), while the author of the post you're replying to seems to think they(the original poster) are somehow referring to structural Racism, which that interpretation of the primary poster does not make sense to me (hence my saying I think they mean Literary structuralism)

So structuralism in literary theory is that the structure of a text is the important thing which can end up being a lot like those articles you see every now and then "There are only 10 basic plots in the world, here they are" or some stuff like that (I obviously say this as someone who does not much care for structuralism so take my words with a giant grain of salt)

on edit: clarification
the effect size will not be high
> You're implying that someone who didn't fight is presumably guilty

I can see how one could get this implication because they said "why would you" but that's a common phrase that people use to (I guess literally) call some decision into question. It's not necessarily about saying that they are obviously lying and could be more about wondering why someone would make that choice. The reply made a good case, which they don't seem to be arguing with.
