Yeah, I think there's a significant difference between "Tesla decided to push a software update to their cars on their own" and "the government said the cars are unsafe, so Tesla was required to push a software update", and that's worth capturing in the language we use to describe those events.
"While the all-aluminum body of the LLV has resisted corrosion exceptionally well over the years, the main powertrain components have been replaced multiple times and now must be sourced through aftermarket manufacturing. This has significantly increased repair costs while reducing performance and reliability.

In fact, the Postal Service had to contract an alternative supplier to reverse engineer and manufacture the chassis frame to keep the LLV operational. As a result, the average annual maintenance cost exceeds $5,000, with 7% of LLVs exceeding $10,000 annually. Additionally, they are less fuel-efficient and unsuitable for future delivery needs given projected changes in market demand, mail mix, and increasing delivery points.

The LLVs also lack modern safety features such as airbags, anti-lock brakes, air conditioning, back-up cameras, blind-spot warning systems, daytime running lights, and seatbelt reminders."

Sort of a Ship of Theseus vehicle. Yes, some have lasted over 40 years, but that's with potentially multiple drivetrain replacements, at an annual maintenance cost of $5,000 - $10,000. That feels high, given how simple those vehicles are.
Note that these benchmarks ignore object-related stuff, which is usually the expensive part.

Depends on the technology. It’s hard to look at the progress from December of 2022 till today, and think we won’t go further. Image generation is getting better every day. Parts of the video generation pipelines are also advancing.
you forgot to mention: "where you pick the style of the assets"
I'm not so convinced. A lot of people have been noting the rapid development of ML systems in the past few years and projecting continued exponential improvements based on previous growth rates, but unbounded exponential improvement doesn't happen. This is an S curve and I think we're already well into the diminishing returns part of the curve. I think future growth is going to require increasingly impractical amounts of hardware for ever smaller levels of improvement.

People saying that this version is flawed but still amazing, so the next version is going to be perfect and mind blowing are going to be disappointed I think. The next version will be slightly better but still flawed. The version after that will be a touch better but annoyingly still not quite there. Constantly teasing you that full success is just around the corner while never quite getting there.
>The Department has long been concerned — and long received complaints — about potential racial profiling in connection with cold consent encounters in transportation setting,”

While it's useful that anything helps stop these grotesquely pervasive abortions of legality from happening, it's perverse that the main concern was a possibility of racial profiling.

So if minority groups that cause bad political optics aren't being visibly targeted, then it's once again okay to arbitrarily rob legally innocent people under threat of violence, as a fucking government police agency no less?

Also, "cold consent encounters" What a laughable euphemism for coercion and theft.
My oldest son managed to get into one of the actually functioning, albeit barely, magnet public High Schools in Dallas TX ISD ( Townview SEM). His little brother is in a magnet middle school and will probably follow to either SEM or the TAG (talented and gifted) magnet which is in the same physical building.

Both my wife and I agree, if we had to do it over again we would move to the exurbs and home school. TAG and SEM rank in the top 20-30 nationwide and it's still not that great. Homeschoolers can cover the same level of material and learning in about 3-4hrs where the public school alternative is all day sitting in desks and bored out of their minds.
Safety should be even more important than both, but it obviously isn't since only the USPS trucks have a pedestrian safe design.
A friend told me that:

The exact approach used to break the encryption of Sky ECC phones is not fully detailed in the sources I found. However, there are some insights into the methods used:

1. One source mentions that law enforcement agencies used cloned devices running a fake phishing application designed to impersonate the Sky ECC app https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/europol-unloc.... This allowed them to intercept messages as they were being sent and received.

2. Another report indicates that unauthorized devices with modified security features were sold through unauthorized channels, which likely played a role in the interception https://www.vice.com/en/article/sky-ecc-decrypted-hacked-pol....

These methods suggest that the encryption itself wasn't directly broken, but rather the security of the devices and the integrity of the app were compromised.

The last time I rented a home in the Bay area I paid first, last, damage deposit and pet deposit in cash (almost $15k). The reason was that I was changing banks after a dispute and didn't want my old bank snagging the money.

> there is some researching showing that fructose can be harmful but the glucose/fructose content of HFCS isn't significantly different from sucrose

Indeed a lot of people ignore this. Still it is worth pointing out that

a) a higher glucose content due to sucrose based sweetness helps absorbing fructose in a home-made cake.

b) the ultra-processed cake likely got added a fair share of sugar alcohols (keeping it moist) which for a single digit percentage but still significant portion of the population interferes with fructose absorption leading to fermentation in the gut.

c) the longer and cold storage of the industrial cake will lead to an increase of recombined starch which is harder to digest.

(a, b due to fructose transport from gut less efficient than for glucose and the transport part relying on presence of glucose. Some people suffer from fructose mal-absorption where the main transport mechanism is not working and the backup mechanism can be blocked by sugar alcohols)
> Data on seizures seems like a solid start. Why don't they have data on searches?

I thought the Supreme Court found that search _is_ seizure (of your person). Not that I would expect the DEA do categorize them equivalently, of course.

Oh. What does that even mean? Saying something is "form over function" is not derogatory. Lots of great inventions prioritize form over function (iPod comes to mind).
Oh hey, that's my device! Thanks for sharing. It actually uses 4 optical mouse sensors so that there is redundancy to minimize error. Very much a work in progress at the moment, but there are lots of stuff I'm hoping to improve in the coming weeks to make it more suitable for useful woodworking projects.
Objects and "method calls" generally implies mutable state to me, but yes the parent was not explicit about this. I assumed mutable (implicit) state was being argued in favour of an explicit state representation. Perhaps I misunderstood.

For a state machine, I would expect a function such as:

transition : (old_state, event) -> new_state

Or if we use immutable objects, and one method per simple event, then something like:

transition_event1 : () -> new_state

Which I think is similar to what you hace. So I think we are in agreement here.

Interpreting paleontology and biology as implying intent rather than random modification requires more special pleading. When you dig in, it really looks like random changes, dead ends, silly useless changes, stuff that serves one purpose and then gets repurposed for something else, leftover bits and bobs, and constant recycling of ideas. At best, this requires a creator with an odd mindset, and ends up evidentially indistinguishable from randomness.

The Fermi paradox is barely relevant. How much truth do you really think you can extract from an absence of evidence? Really? Because if lack of evidence of communicating technological civilizations (active in the particular tiny timeslice in which we're paying attention) implies lack of existence of any complex life outside of earth (and yes, you seem to need Earth's complex life to be unique for your argument to work), you've got some real thinking to do about the evidence for God or any other creator, especially after you've admitted their actions are, at best, tricky to distinguish from random chance.

Besides my previous point about reading intention into nature, courts of law are not scientific. Among other differences, they operate in a context where intent is much more likely to be actually present. Why would you even bring that up? Except that it's an old creationist talking point, I guess.
No, AI chess is not banned here, but I suppose they - even in this app - collect every data possible and use it against the user - then yes, that is banned and this is not a fault of my country.
> The implementing package should return concrete (usually pointer or struct) types

It's in the first paragraph. It goes on in the second:

> Do not define interfaces on the implementor side of an API “for mocking”; instead, design the API so that it can be tested using the public API of the real implementation.

And yes, io.Reader/Writer violate that too, because either the tenet is wrong or the design of interfaces in go is wrong.

> Even more obviously your link isn't talking about functions but packages.

It doesn't matter: your exporting errors behind the error interface, not your concrete error implementation. If you're just using one of the many ways to create stringly errors (!) like fmt.Errorf, you maybe don't notice but you are in fact returning interfaces all the time.
Metallica works, Slipknot doesn't, Iron Maiden does, Nirvana doesn't.

Aperture Science works, so does Black Mesa (the proposed opponent, hehe), Cyberdyne Systems doesn't, Vault-Tec does, Weyland-Yutani also works.

Studio Ghibli doesn't work, Toei Animation does, so does Production I.G. and KyoAni.

Akagi works, JoJo doesn't but JoJo Bizarre Adventure does (so does Joseph Joestar, and it knows Dio Brando is the opponent), Uzumaki does not, BLAME! is accepted but not recognized (a shame), 20th Century Boys is not accepted.

Soviet Union works, Russia does not, neither do most countries. US States are accepted (California's opponent is Florida), so do many cities, with exceptions of Mexico City/Ciudad de Mexico, Pyongyang and Tehran.

Voyager-1 works, Apollo 13 doesn't (for any mission numbers), plain Apollo does (but it's not the space mission), Soyuz does, SpaceX Starship does not.

Vim works, so does Emacs, so does Visual Studio. (I've tried that just to see the proposed opponents)

Dota 2, S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Mass Effect, Half-Life, Deus Ex, Arma 3, BioShock, Elden Ring all work, even Wolfenstein does. Disco Elysium is accepted but produce something unrelated (a shame, again). Can't find a video game that won't be accepted.

Funnily, US Government worked partially for me, failing to produce a single piece.

> Seeing the visualization here really underscores how fast some languages are.

Yes and no.

It emphasizes that there are some scenarios where language choice can have an outsized effect on performance when running on modern architectures, which is a reminder some people could use or have never really witnessed.

But it's a very particular scenario that relatively few projects will encounter at a scale that meaningfully impacts them.

In particular, C and Rust are much better positioned to instruction pipelining and lack of cache busting because there are no conditionals and little-to-no out-of-loop code to execute. Even with a massive loop like this, that can be a real world scenario in things like data/signal processing and numerical computation. When you're doing those things, language choice can make a huge difference that may not be apparent without understanding how they work or at least seeing visualizations like this.

But even in C and Rust, most applications don't have to do this kind of thing. Most are dominated by smaller loops, with branching that breaks pipelining, complexity that busts cpu cache, calls and jumps that might interfere with both etc. In those much more common cases, the practical performance difference is going to be quite a lot less significant, and the fluency/ergonomics/safety/convenience of working in some other language can easily matter more.
If rust did add const generic expressions I mean. It still would only generate code for the used instantiations.

I think this can be seen in cities with walking-to-work culture (often metro/underground).

Although I've wondered if cause is enforced exercise or just selection (people that move to a large city to work have a demographic).
They can prepare better for natural disasters. And while climate change is an issue, we have the technology to fight it and not bankrupting entire industries to achieve some far fetched green goals.

Me and my coworkers pass around opinions about what LLM does what task better.

FSD is already using the fruits of this today with their end to end NN.

Looking at the source code, is the random value generated before the main loop iterations to stop the compiler from shortcutting all the iterations? Does that work on some of the better compilers out there? The random value is only generated once. I would like to see a similar benchmark on creating/destroying objects in memory.

I did a review of state of the art in robotics recently in prep for some job interviews and the stack is the same as all other ML problems these days, take a large pretrained multi modal model and do supervised fine tuning of it on your domain data.

In this case it's "VLA" as in Vision Language Action models, where a multimodal decoder predicts action tokens and "behavior cloning" is a fancy made up term for supervised learning, because all of the RL people can't get themselves to admit that supervised learning works way better than reinforcement learning in the real world.

Proper imitation learning where a robot learns from 3rd person view of humans doing stuff does not work yet, but some people in the field like to pretend that teleoperation and "behavior cloning" is a form of imitation learning.

> The IG found that the search was based on a tip by an airline employee who passed on the names of passengers who had purchased flights 48 hours before departure.

> That employee was being paid by the DEA a percentage of the cash seized, the IG found, and had received tens of thousands of dollars over several years. That arrangement is problematic, investigators concluded.

I think this goes even beyond civil forfeiture (which shares revenue with police departments, etc)

I think sharing it with an airline employee is out and out corruption.

Anacostia High School in Washington DC has zero percent of students meeting expectations in Math, yet its funding per student is twice that of nearby districts that perform much better. Lebron James' I Promise Academy is similarly very well-funded both for in-classroom and wraparound services, and it's one of the worst schools in the state of Ohio. It is increasingly evident that we cannot improve student outcomes in failing schools simply by funneling more resources to those schools. Students who come from households who do not value education not only will not learn, but will also likely sabotage the education of the others in their schools. It is probably more effective to give direct cash payments to struggling families than to struggling schools.

Polygraph tests aren’t admissible in court for a reason.

> In the 1998 US Supreme Court case United States v. Scheffer, the majority stated that "There is simply no consensus that polygraph evidence is reliable [...] Unlike other expert witnesses who testify about factual matters outside the jurors' knowledge, such as the analysis of fingerprints, ballistics, or DNA found at a crime scene, a polygraph expert can supply the jury only with another opinion."[25] The Supreme Court summarized their findings by stating that the use of polygraph was "little better than could be obtained by the toss of a coin."[25] In 2005, the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals stated that "polygraphy did not enjoy general acceptance from the scientific community".[26]

Please go ahead! I'd love to see where it goes and would be willing to help out. I've already opened an issue to track "adding support for user-provided audio" as we discussed, see: https://github.com/omeryusufyagci/fast-music-remover/issues/...

As for your question: it depends on the approach; Fast Music Remover currently uses DeepFilterNet, which has a deep learning approach and doesn't identify audio components as logical layers, which is why it's rather fast. Typically for that sort of requirements you'd want to work with a model like `demucs` (https://github.com/facebookresearch/demucs), that can identify individual audio components. That comes at great performance costs though.

However, my vision for the core of FMR is to support multiple ML models and provide the optimal solution for user needs, without them worrying about these details like which model to pick, etc. So, this would definitely be something I'd be interested to follow!
The DOJ report on the findings (https://oig.justice.gov/sites/default/files/reports/25-005_3...) mentions multiple airline employees were being used as confidential sources, so you might be right.
