> There are no such things as atheist beliefs any more than there are a-unicorn beliefs, even if many things have been done in its name. The same goes for evolution.

That’s just silly. Of course there are atheistic, theistic, along with myriad of other classifications of belief systems. If you decide to try and redefine all commonly accepted terms based on your belief system you’re not participating in a fair discussion.

> And no, communism isn't any more inherently atheistic

Perhaps it’s not, but all the major communist states have embraced atheism as a matter of course and that is what pertains to my comment. Most scholars consider Karl Marx an atheist and he was certainly secularist.

> Avoid confusing belief with confidence in replicability, not when only one was sufficient for humanity to reach the moon.

Confidence in something is a form of belief. You believe something will occur or is a certain way based on prior information.

Again you’re trying to insert your idiosyncratic definition of belief into the discussion.

> No, as a science-minded secular materialistic atheist, xe are burdened with expecting nuance, detail, precision, specificity, and consistency of xirselves and in xir communications.

As I pointed out above a couple of times you are not being precise but rather are injecting your own idiosyncratic non-standard definition of things. Defining your own unique pronouns is a good exemplar of this.

This all comes across to me as you not being open to genuine conversation.

> Tell xe again how belief will save you from junk forensic science if you are ever accused falsely of a crime?

Having fair trials, hearing of evidence in a court, having impartial judges, etc is based on a societies belief that those things are important.

Junk science goes against those sort of beliefs in a country like the USA and has been used to fight against such things.

As a counter, a science minded secular materialism belief system doesn’t have to believe in things like fair trials or the need of evidence to convict. Some rationalist scientific minded have argued that belief in fair trials and equality of people is illogical as common people don’t have the intelligence or expertise to properly judge things.

The CCP for example is arguably generally more scientific-minded secular materialist society than the USA. Yet they have no problems eschewing things such as trials as in their (dare I say logical and self-consistent) belief system the needs of the state subsume those of the individual.
> Profit goes out of the country, reducing investment and rich UK people to invest in new UK companies.

Rich foreigners are happy to invest in the UK. See eg Deepmind itself, which was bought by Google.

Foreign investment is usually seen as a good thing. Especially foreign direct investment.

And: why do you care so much what passports these rich people hold?
Yeah I think it comes down to two things

1) the low friction leading to more mundane things being posted
2) the norm being text content not from people you necessarily follow / people who aren’t “celebrities” so mundane relatable things tend to bubble up.

I do wonder if one day video understanding LLMs will be able to understand what a photo/video is about and show you content that’s relevant to you

I only have the figures for end of 2018[1], but meta employed around 2300 people in the UK, if we assume the same distribution of jobs as elsewhere in the world about half will be engineers, so 1150 engineers. There aren't that many of these jobs. At goldman its a lot higher, aboutn 10,000[2] globally, but they only have around 3,300 employees in the Uk so if its the same ratio as global (25% tech), then that means around 800 developers. Again you'll note this is a very small number compared to the number of top graduates a year, with class sizes of 100-200 per university.

Please describe "failure": I've had a Sony Vaio Z with switchable Intel/Nvidia graphics in 2009 before Optimus (though that did require some tinkering), but had GTX 960 and GTX 970 (actually still do) in a couple of computers, along with an integrated Intel and AMD GPUs in a bunch of laptops.

Note that kernel is totally unconcerned with DPI in general: it only cares about physical pixels and reports physical dimensions to apps — if scaling caused kernel level issues, it might be related to proprietary driver issue (they frequently lag in Nvidia's case).

I never used ultrawides myself, but if the monitor did not report proper "timings" and available resolutions, you might have needed some manual tweaks.
You pay more and lose reliable multicolour printing this way though - the MMU is NOT a solution.

At some point you just have to browse the library, and learn conventional names for algorithms.

If you want to synthesize this type of knowledge on the fly because you don't like learning other people's conventions, just feed the docs to chatgpt and ask if there's a function that solves your problem.

This is why a formal education is so important, and why books like "gang of Four" are some sort of standard. They've given a name to some common patterns, allowing a more efficient form of communication and higher level of thinking. Are the patterns actually good? Are the names actually good? That is besides the point.

A lot of these comments tell me that most commenters haven't actually worked in the EU or attempted to build wealth here.

I come from an unprivileged background, my father joked that he might leave me an empty bottle of whisky when he died. I went from making 20k USD at my first job to over 800k per year.

Taxation never particularly blunted my avarice or desire to advance further, and I never minded paying my taxes either. Frankly, only two things ever really slowed me down: the good old boys clubs in Europe, where if you haven't gone to the right schools, they treat you like you're supposed to be a slave rather than expect a slice of the pie... and the good old boys clubs in the US, where unless you're in CA/NY, well, again, how dare you expect a slice of the pie.

If I could, I'd gladly try to get richer than Musk, and honestly, fuck the taxes. Having miserable poor people around me sucks more than paying taxes. I'd rather they enjoy some of my success too. That way I can hire fewer bodyguards.
Investors are generally wanting to see little existing competition so that’s not really the issue.

They’re more concerned with factors that will cause the company to self-destruct. Running out of money before hitting PMF and growth is the most common failure mode for any startup, and is much more likely with any hardware startup, due to the dramatically slower iteration times.

Those "shared cultural ideals" amounted to very little beyond "conquer the Nazis, before they conquer us" - as late-war and post-war relations between the USSR and the Western Allies showed. Or, as pre-'39 Western policies showed. The '30's saw the Nazis as an evil...but a useful and "not too" evil, that would (mostly, in effect) protect the West from the greater evil of Soviet Communism.
The MMU isn't remotely comparable to the AMS though, it's finnicky, regularly breaks and needs a heck of a lot of tinkering for most people to get right. One slightly different filament and you have to start over.

Not to mention its just a messy product. Heck the new Core One doesn't even have support for it at launch which is pretty unforgivable.
Those early patents have likely expired.

> but about temperature

Which is why I said water would raise the temperature because the oxygen is liquid oxygen — i.e. very cold.

I mentioned solid phase because you were saying "if you mixed liquid oxygen and fuel nothing would happen". There are also videos of people starting fires by pouring LOX onto things.

The fuel and oxidiser in a rocket are often pumped around the outside of the engine bell before reaching the injectors, in order to keep the engine bell itself from melting due to the heat of combustion. I'm not sure exactly what temperature the fuel and oxidiser are at when they hit the injector, but I've seen ground tests where there's frost on the outer wall while the engine is running.

Also, one of the (rare) Falcon rocket failures was due to ice (IIRC oxygen ice) building up around the plumbing during flight: https://www.adastraspace.com/p/spacex-falcon-9-grounded

For a PCB it’s called a rework, and it’s very common for first spins of boards to have to do one.

Also common is to patch around issues, when possible, in firmware. This is often lower cost/effort, but can’t fix everything.

There are similar kinds of fixes for purely mechanical parts. Depending on the part and problem, mechanical can be easier than a PCB rework (eg: modify a part in CAD and 3D print or get your local machine shop to do a run).
I wouldn't buy any new Prusa printer until it's been in the wild at least a year, they tend to be very buggy at launch.

They also have no multimaterial support at launch, the MMU3 will not work with the Core One until they release an update, which they've not yet given a timeline for.
That's a useful step, but the options are still Full Cloud Dependency or DIY with Zero Security.

Why haven't they implemented rudimentary access control with printer-side Basic Auth (or the equivalents auth for MQTT and FTP). Add optional SSL support to prevent tampering/MITM on a potentially hostile network, and the unauthenticated access concerns listed in [1] should disappear.

Any problems related to potentially damaging instructions should be best-effort mitigated by the firmware and otherwise indemnified by a "your own fault for using a third-party slicer" clause in the EULA.

Bambu Labs shouldn't need to be in the authentication/authorization path, unless we're actively using their cloud environment.
A Prusa MK4, completely factory built, is a reliable workhorse for me.
> The UK has the 3rd largest tech VC sector worldwide - only after the US and China

And as I mentioned before, most startups tend to only be UK domiciled for funding reasons, but majority of their operations and leadership are located outside the UK.

Foreign (read: American) VCs tend to conduct transactions in a handful of very well regulated markets, so a Chinese, Indian, or Romanian startup will often have to make a domiciled corporation in a financial hub like the UK or Singapore in order to raise.

For example, Revolut has around 16,000 employees, but barely 2k in the UK and around 7k in Poland+India - and most of these roles are engineering AND strategy roles.

> London also has the largest software sector outside the US, after the Bay Area, Boston, and NYC

Source? Boston is nowhere near a top software hub - both Seattle and Austin are much larger in the software space than Boston.

And I would be shocked if the net amount of SWE roles in London is higher than Tel Aviv or Bangalore.

The big difference is that none of these changes were part of a defined strategy to lock the user in to their products and ultimately generate more profit, as with the Bambu example:

- Battery management was to handle an issue that was encountered as batteries aged

- 32 bit support: Apple is well known for being one of the more aggressive companies when it comes to forcing users (and especially people coding apps for their platforms) to adopt required tech changes. But again, not directly profit-driven.

- Pulse oximetry: probably the closest to a profit-driven-decision, as this was driven by a patent issue, and presumably they calculated less of a hit from removing the feature than paying feed to the patent owner? Not great, but still not directly part of a user-unfriendly Apple-derived strategy, as with Bambu.
Not that I really care enough to ban TikTok, but the value demonstrated here is pretty spurious. You could swap "TikTok" with "socializing", and I'm sure these people would've had similar outcomes.
You're missing the point, I think.

The relationships you are describing are why airflight/spaceflight and AI/AGI are a good comparison.

We will never get AGI from an LLM. We will never fly to the moon via winged flight. These are examples of how one method of doing a thing, will never succeed in another.

Citing all the similarities between airflight and spaceflight makes my point! One may as well discuss how video games are on a computer platform, and LLMs are on a computer platform, and say "It's the same!", as say airflight and spaceflight are the same.

Note how I was very clear, and very specific, and referred to "winged flight" and "low/high pressure", which will never, ever, ever get one even to space. Nor allow anyone to navigate in space. There is no "lift" in space.

Unless you can describe to me how a fixed wing with low/high pressure is used to get to the moon, all the other similarities are inconsequential.

Good grief, people are blathering on about metallurgy. That's not a connection, it's just modern tech, has nothing to do with the method of flying (low/high pressure around the wing), and is used in every industry.

I love how incapable everyone has been in this thread of concept focus, incapable of separating the specific from the generic. It's why people think, generically, that LLMs will result in AGI, too. But they won't. Ever. No amount of compute will generate AGI via LLM methods.

LLMs don't think, they don't reason, they don't infer, they aren't creative, they come up with nothing new, it's easiest to just say "they don't".

One key aspect here is that knowledge has nothing to do with intelligence. A cat is more intelligent than any LLM that will ever exist. A mouse. Correlative fact regurgitation is not what intelligence is, any more than a book on a shelf is intelligence, or the results of Yahoo search 10 years ago were.

The most amusing is when people mistake shuffled up data output from an LLM as "signs of thought".

The suggested alternative looks overly complex to me.
Moreover, it uses the `__proto__` property that is deprecated [0] and never was standardized.
I could write something like this instead:

type MyEnum = typeof MyEnum[keyof typeof MyEnum];
const MyEnum = {
A: 0,
B: 1,
} as const;

Unfortunately I found it still more verbose and less intuitive than:

enum MyEnum {
A = 0,
B = 1,
}

TypeScript enum are also more type-safe than regular union types because they are "nominally typed": values from one enum are not assignable to a variable with a distinct enum type.

This is why I'm still using TypeScript enum, even if I really dislike the generated code and the provided features (enum extensions, value bindings `MyEnum[0] == 0`).

Also, some bundlers such as ESbuil are able to inline some TypeScript enum. This makes TypeScript enum superior on this regard.

In a parallel world, I could like the latter to be a syntaxic sugar to the former.
There were some discussions [1] for adopting a new syntax like:

const MyEnum = {
A: 0,
A: 1,
} as enum;

> As I already quoted, the DMCA DRM clause holds even when there is no copyright infringement.

The reason for this is still to protect copyright. Only because the law is so intrusive as to criminalise the step preceding a potential copyright infringement does not change that that is the rationale behind it! [1] [2]

The goal is to simplify enforcement for copyright holders. That under the DMCA, copyright owners do not need to prove that actual infringement occurred, but only need to demonstrate that circumvention of access controls took place, lowers the burden of proof for copyright owners and allows them to take action more swiftly against potential copyright violations. [3]

"If someone breaks the technologies used to protect against copyright infringement the copyright owner need not prove that an infringement took place; all the owner needs to prove is that a violation of the Anti-Circumvention provisions occurred".

Before the pandemic, my experience of the open office at Spotify, Skype, or other places I visited was: never enough conference rooms, whenever I tried to talk to people I would get shushed (my voice is not quiet) and almost everyone listens to headphones all day anyway.

Open office configurations have never been a particularly good way of working. They became popular because they are cheap.
I do the same thing as you but with owning the root domain, so no need for a +. In other words, I would use spectrum@example.com for this (i have a catchall rule so it forwards to the same place).

Depends on what you want to learn.
The SLAM Frontend (computing motion information from sensors) offers a lot of variety through the chosen combination of sensors (wheel odometer, IMU, mono/stereo/multi camera, lidar, radar, sonar, to name a few).

At least for vision, deep learning should be very useful. For the others I have no experience how much machine learning is relevant. Geometry and physics based methods should work well here, but there is probably much room to tack on some ML.

The SLAM backend (optimization) is mostly old-school methods like nonlinear least squares optimization or particle filters. Not sure if that counts as ML today.

I'd go for g2o or Ceres for mapping (unless you expect to have no loop closures), as there's really no need to reinvent that. It's definitely useful to learn about the backend, but usually the combination of sensors and their properties will demand more algorithmic tailoring than the backend, which gets more abstract input (i e. motions & uncertainties) and can be used more black-boxy.
That has literally nothing to do with attempting to abolish the US Constitution.
