Star trackers do exist and have been used on spacecraft for decades. But unfortunately, looking at the stars can only tell you your orientation in space, not your position. (At least, not to any remotely useful accuracy; you need to travel a huge distance to get a measurable parallax.)

Celestial navigation works on the Earth's surface (or the Moon's surface), because being able to determine the orientation of the local horizon (or zenith) is equivalent to determining your latitude and longitude. But that doesn't work for a spacecraft that doesn't have a horizon reference.

Of course, if you're orbiting the moon and you can accurately observe the directions to landmarks such as mountains and craters, you can fix your position relative to them. But that's not really what you'd call "celestial navigation".
We all know this is just the starting point & they'll inevitably raise the price without good reason. However, this is genuinely what I had been asking for; none of the youtube music nonsense.

The (current, temporary) price is reasonable, so I'll probably give it a try.

EDIT: Nevermind, I didn't realize that background play wasn't included.
> Tldr the finding is that abiogenesis may be easier to get to than previously thought.

It doesn't really mean that, though. We already knew synthesis of simple amino acids was pretty easy. Urey-Miller did that decades ago. Making the easy part of a multistep process easier doesn't make the whole process much easier.

IMO, the rate-limiting step for OoL is later, when by some means the enormous complexity barrier is reached between abiotic stuff like this and the simplest self-replicating system capable of evolution. Of the latter, the simplest we know (the most stripped down cell) still contains billions of atoms.

It seems to be OK for me, but I am using https://redditenhancementsuite.com/

So maybe that makes a difference. I think it forces the old interface. Like my URL isn't even old.reddit, but all I see is the old interface. Or maybe I don't use subs with newer posts types that are not compatible with old?
I've never even considered Spotify because I already have YT. Modulo the social bandwagon, seems like it's the same offering and one also gives you ad-free YT, so it's been a no-brainer for me.

Makes me wonder how many people would use YTM if they only had the full premium option, but will split subscriptions across YT and Spotify with this new offering.
> it does highlight the stark gulf that exists between the capability of the most advanced AI systems and what we expect as "normal competency" from the most average person

Yes, but now we're at the point where we can compare AI to a person, whereas five years ago the gap was so big that that was just unthinkable.
I agree. Hardware improvement will hit a wall at some point. From then on, all performance improvement will have to come from software optimization. I do wonder if AI will allow that to happen much quicker.

Could an AI just crawl through an organization's entire code and make optimization recommendations, which are then reviewed by a human? It seems like there could be a lot of low hanging fruit.

And what exactly would be the point of this "advertisement" ? Since you're already listening to the artist's music ad-free, what exactly being exposed to their music will achieve in you buying something ? What is the return on investment here for the artist ? It's not like you're going to buy their album or their songs individually anyway. Merch and concert ticket ? That's nowhere near enough to offset the loss of the (already very small for the vast majority of bands) ad revenue
I pay for quite a few subscriptions, to several services, mostly to avoid ads and show my appreciation to the creator of the service (or content). I'm all for the "support the creator" stuff.

However, YouTube Premium never made sense to me. Sure, I get to block YouTube's ads. But, without other ad-blocking tech, I still have to watch baked-in advertisements/sponsorships. I can't bring myself to pay for ad-free viewing, when the ad-free viewing still has half the ads.

I chose the 3090/4090 because it seems to me that this machine could be a replacement for a workstation or a homelab rig at a similar price point, but not a $100-250k server in a datacenter. It's not really surprising or interesting that the datacenter GPUs are superior.

FWIW I went the route of "bunch of GPUs in a desktop case" because I felt having the compute oomph was worth it.

Not as easy a narration as the global stage, eh?

This deserved a more dignified answer, I’m not trying to troll.

It is like watching a car crash in slow motion, wondering why everyone doesn’t take sensible road safety into consideration, and for the other guy (usually) shit is just happening.

I guess the world comes down to those who see we are intrinsically beset by our own worst enemy, ourselves; and those who look (rightly in some situations) to the blameful others. And that’s a sad shit storm founded upon a recipe of mass delusion in the populous mind.

You may be looking for too clear an explanation.

Lack of generational seriousness about power in this world is one complaint with your tone. You’re the armchair critic of good faith gone wrong. (Slight trolling there).

I know you certainly aren’t “the problem”, you’re a noble heart, I feel you. You aren’t the solution either. You don’t have the mettle in you to even understand the problem, let alone the solution.
Or even better, a virtual museum of all virtual museums that don't contain themselves, perhaps named in honor of Bertrand Russell.

allocated == money handed out

in accounting rules, it's spent money. the notes say that 61 ports have been built from that allocated money.

like I said, I would love to see the cost breakdown. is all that allocated money spent? are some projects still being constructed? three years seems like a long time to get 61 ports when you allocated $2B.
ggml and pytorch support mps. aside from bleeding edge most ml workloads can run on mps these days.
Why so sure that it isn't a mating display? Songbirds sing without specific mates in sight. Peacocks will display to humans, or cars, or almost anything. Putting on a sexy show for mates or rivals who might be watching is cheap, so birds do it casually, and it's a reward in itself.

But then, I'm not sure what claim us being made. Is the cockatoo being playful for the sake of exploration? Maybe, maybe not. Does it have unlimited capacity to learn new things and expand its horizons through exploration? No, it's just going to repeat the same things all its ancestors did, transferred into new contexts.
Yes, it comes down to what people care about, and I'm sympathetic to not wanting to care much for people who don't enjoy cooking.

On consistency...I think it's just not possible. Even for super simple things like blasting something at 500W for 30 sec, we quickly realize that some microwaves ramp up faster than others, and at the same power they don't all diffuse the power evenly (flat floor microwaves are pretty different from the rotating plate ones for instance).

Doing trial and error for any new model feels like a fact of life, and I assume pros are more severe regarding properly knowing how their tool actually behaves, same way we'd benchmark a new computer to get an idea of its actual performance profile with our exact installation.
Ironically, YouTube is one of services where I find it's worth the money I pay for. I mean, I'd rather not pay for it sure. But when I compare it to Netflix, which charges almost $20 and I barely watch (pretty much use every 2nd or 3rd day), and then paying like $15 for YouTube premium which I consume at least 5 hours a day then it is totally worth it.
Will YouTube allow downgrades? They've already attempted this in other markets and they failed to allow downgrades of existing subscriptions.
Usually what happens is that most folks write Java Swing, or used to, with programmer art, instead of reading material like Filty Rich Clients, and having a designer team.

Which is kind of what JetBrains did, as do other companies that know their stuff, e.g.

At least on iOS you can play in the background without a subscription, you just have to press Play again on the lock screen: https://www.macrumors.com/how-to/keep-youtube-playing-in-bac...

That aside, Premium Lite is for people who use YouTube for the video content (as opposed to only for the audio), which is most people.
> - what model did you buy for 50€ ? was it second hand?

No, it was new. A "Pantum P2500W". However, it's from a retailer (iBOOD) known for buying surplus/overstock/special-purchase items from the US and UK market (at reduced prices), and reselling it in the EU. I would imagine the prices to be slightly lower there than in typical big-box stores, but I have simply never seen the brand in any physical store, so can't really compare it obviously.

> any estimate on how many regular text page can you print with your 20€ cartridge?

According to the toner manufacturer, it's 1600 pages. And generally, all toner cartridges that come up when entering "P2500W" into Amazon suggest 1600 pages. I don't print that much that I can verify it; with just the occasional shipping label every couple weeks I would last quite a number of years if that was correct.

> any links to buy the printer/cartridge

For the cartridges, I see a plethora of options when entering "P2500W" into Amazon.de, the majority of which are between 19€ - 23€, 4.5 to 5 stars, all of them mention 1600 pages.

Regarding the printer itself, I don't have a good recommendation. iBOOD (where I bought it) does not sell it anymore (iBOOD mostly sells a quantity-limited amount of surplus/overstock/special-purchase items, and it was in September 2023, so there for sure is no stock anymore). When looking at the price graph of a popular price aggregation site (https://geizhals.eu/pantum-p2500w-a1474488.html), I can see that the price started out at 55€ in July 2016, the lowest price a store was selling it for was 35€ in 2017 for a month. Then it was available for 50€ a couple of times for a few weeks - months per year, and otherwise out of stock; until it seems to now be sold at Amazon.de by a third-party seller from China (without going out of stock constantly) for reliable 90€-110€ (this very second for 109,90€).

"Wow"? Is it really necessary to give this guy a hard time for being unable to afford the kind of computers you had in 1992?

Anyway, there's no such thing as a "DX3". And the first 100MHz 486 (the DX4) came out in March of 1994, so I don't see how you were running one at the end of 1992.

My family's first computer - not counting a hand-me-down XT that was impossibly out-of-date when we got it in 1992 or so - was a 66MHz 486-DX2, purchased in early 1995.

I can't quite explain why, but as a matter of pride it's still upsetting - decades later - to see someone weirdly bragging about an impossible computer that supposedly outran mine despite a three year handicap.
A box on the farm means a little more handling on the farm, but nobody else has to handle it.

The farmers I know of work with "anhydrous". Urea and other solid forms are used too, but anhydrous is very common.

AFAIK this box isn't available to anyone yet. Farmers are interested, but only if it really helps. If it is less predictable than ordering and hoping it arrives on time (every once in a while you order something for delivery on some date and you don't get it then with nothing you can do even though the date is the date you need it) they don't want it. If it is more predictable because they can turn it on and be assured that there will be what they need on some day (despite clouds - which over a few months is predictable enough) they want it.

(I don't think many farmers have drunk glyphosates, but they would on the right bet and the SDS says it is safe enough to take a sip. Though the other additives might not be safe).
I meant to comment that I doubt the Baltic Sea sees on the order of 1% of world's total shipping tonnage, but actually it seems that is roughly the correct figure.

This is interesting because the very earliest asteroids were warmed by short-lived radioactive decay. So, even small ones could have had interiors with liquid water. Their combined volume would have been very large, making them all potential sites for origin of life. Subsequently, impacts could have led to seeding of this life on the inner planets, including Earth and Mars.

If these truly were the sites of OoL in our solar system, then that means life either originated early, before these asteroids froze up or dried out, or it wouldn't arise at all. This would vitiate the argument that because life appeared early on Earth, OoL must occur with high probability.
these are not aeroplanes, but planes for making wood flat and smooth. Though I have little doubt this guy could have made aeroplanes if he had set his mind to it.

I absolutely do not want that unless there are guarantees around the condition of the batteries.

I can't imagine much worse than being on a road trip and quick swapping to a new battery that you discover, after driving away, has significantly degraded performance and range.

I believe taxes in general have a cooling effect on the economy and are ultimately deflationary. I also think it's possible we could enter a recession. If so, it would trigger fiscal expansion, which usually triggers inflation in turn. But tariffs in a vacuum: deflationary to neutral once the economy has time to react and adjust.
Almost every big creator has sponsors in their video. This is the biggest source of revenue for large creators. Mark my words, Google will be shaking creators down for a cut of direct sponsorship money at some point.
An unfortunate fact in mathematics in that the term "vector" is ambiguous.

There are vectors in the wide sense, i.e. elements of a linear space. Linear spaces are a.k.a. vector spaces, where "vector" is used in the wide sense.

Then there are vectors in the strict sense, which is the sense corresponding to the etymology of the word "vector", which have additional properties over the axioms of a linear space.

Vectors in the strict sense are elements of some particular linear spaces that are associated with the translations of affine spaces, and which are also associated with geometric algebras, where the dimensions of the geometric algebras as linear spaces over the real numbers are 2^N, where N is the dimension of the set of vectors as a linear space over the real numbers.

Quaternions as a linear space over the real numbers happen to be 4-dimensional, but this 4-dimensional space has no relationship whatsoever with a 4-dimensional space that would be an extension of the familiar 3-dimensional space of the Euclidean geometry, which models the space in which we live.

Since the quaternions are means for describing transformations of the 3-dimensional space of Euclidean geometry, all applications of the quaternions include the 3D geometry in a more or less disguised form, in the same way as any application of complex numbers includes the geometry of the Euclidean plane, even if that is not obvious because the applications are described in an abstract way, using only the axioms of the field of quaternions or of the field of complex numbers.

Many applications of complex numbers in electronics or digital signal processing become far more easier to understand when one thinks about the geometric transformations of a plane that correspond to complex numbers, instead of thinking only about the axioms of the field of complex numbers. The same happens for quaternions.

The physical space in which we live and that we can imagine, is modeled mathematically as an affine space, i.e. as a space of points. We can also imagine affine spaces with more dimensions than 3.

Some linear spaces are vector spaces in the strict sense, being sets of the translations of an affine space. Other linear spaces, like the set of quaternions, are not vector spaces in the strict sense. In order to help our perception of such abstract linear spaces, we may use tools like graphs or drawings that map some part of the abstract linear space to an affine space that we can visualize, e.g. on a computer display, but we must keep in mind that this is just a mapping and that the nature of that abstract linear space is different from the spaces that we can see.
I've purchased several lenovo thinkpads from ebay over the years, they've all been great, very upgradable, parts are available, cheap.

My point here is that the limiting factor wasn’t who was in charge, it was whether the company could acquire a large scale factory and have enough capital to start scaling. Tesla didn’t make any particular moves that required complexity of foresight or spectacular management wisdom.

If the US government didn’t enable Tesla in the way it did, it would still be a garage company regardless of how good of a manager Elon was.

I think it should also be explained why Elon is suddenly an objectively horrendous manager by the metrics of his own quarterly reports. Did he get hit in the head sometime recently? Does he have long covid? Why are Tesla sales declining by double digits when other brands and the EV market as a whole is growing rapidly? Why is Twitter’s advertising revenue and active user count (allegedly, it’s a private company) in rapid decline when neither was true before it was taken private? Has the Boring company delivered any successful projects? Why is xAI behind all of its competitors? Why is Starlink losing its 100 million dollar contract with Canada? Why did Elon invite 100% tariffs on his vehicles to Canada? If I were an investor I would be furious. The questions are piling up.

My hypothesis is that his companies are not doing so well as of late because he was never a particularly gifted leader, and he’s letting his own hubris cloud his judgment.

A most basically informed manager who just graduated with an MBA from a low-tier public university would know not to take public political stances that alienate their main customer base. Imagine if the CEO of Ford was walking around telling the press that people who buy big lifted trucks have small penises. That’s exactly what Elon has been doing with his electric vehicle brand.

LeBron James isn’t the greatest basketball player of all time because he was good for a few years. He’s the greatest player of all time because he’s consistently good. If you had to pick one draft pick that you were stuck with for the next 10+ years he would be the unanimous pick.

If Elon was only good at managing companies for ~10 years that just doesn’t establish much of a trend, and points directly to my hypothesis that he got a lucky break and was successful in spite of his own poor instincts and judgment.
