My impression is that open street maps problem is not the map quality. In areas I have used it, it often has details (e.g. small hiking paths, presence of bike lanes) that google maps doesn't have. The issue is search. Searching for th

This is just manifestly wrong. Past lack-of-progress absolutely is an indicator of future lack of progress. Like any indicator it isn't perfect. The counterexamples, where progress suddenly starts after decades of no progress, are cele

First of all, the article argues that you need a major breakthrough, arguably attention was such a breakthrough? That said, this doesn't really seem all that comparable. The article points out very fundamental properties of all the div

I haven't seen anyone in these threads propose an alternative to Anti-Cheat. Just not using anti cheat makes popular games unplayable. Everyone has the choice to just not play them but plenty of people do, and accept the trade off of h

That's intense overhead rates. EU Research Grants typically come with 25% I believe. That rate is set by the funding agency and not negotiable (and rates have not gone up since I have been involved). That said, I don't get the han

This is really hilarious. Authors and artists never gave permission to use their work to train AI models either... Not legally the same situation, but ethically close enough.

Human intelligence evolved with the goal to survive and procreate. GPT intelligence evolved to mimick human speech. Both tasks require a conceptual understanding of the world humans inhabit, but otherwise the two tasks that gave rise to the

If you want to control the pixels in your document LaTeX is not your tool though. After all you write the content, and the layout is largely done for you. But if you want excellent automatic layout of text and mathematics, with awkwardly bo

No it's not. It's a useful heuristic to adjust your priors before engaging with the work. It's also a useful bit of information when making the decision what to spend time on. Obviously this is a decision that you have to mak

There is solid reasoning behind it though. Divergent perturbation series can be summed in a meaningful way depending on context. Eg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borel_summation The mathematically sounds footing for th

Vixra is a huge red flag for those not aware. It means the research is so actively questionable that it's not allowed on the non-peer reviewed arxiv server. That's an extremely low bar to clear. There are a lot of crackpots on arx

The main thing AMD has in their accelerators that enables this this is unified memory between CPU and GPU. Thats really interesting.

There is a huge difference between a world with a usable 2% browser (20% in Germany) and a 0.02% browser you are describing, that would in all likelihood also be incapable of actually keeping sufficient compatibility with Chrome to still ac

Here, too. Three kids in the back would be tight (edit* not possible), but it's completely absurd to claim that you can't fit boosters/car seats into compact cars. We have on occasion done just that in a small rental, or even

You're aware that people had families before oversized SUVs were a thing...? We used to go on long trips with a family of 5 in normal sized cars regularly. Of course I would never do that today. Like many families we don't have a

This is misleading. We could install a lot more renewables and limit their penetration to 80% and avoid the hard problems for quite a while while also reducing CO2 output massively. Ireland has had such penetration Limits for a long time an

There is a lot of research on exactly the supposedly overlooked problems. This article doesn't even name check the heavily researched solutions to low inertia in power grids. The term "grid forming" (including quotes) has 10.

This is the prime example of a vacuously true but completely useless statement. It's exactly equivalent to the toddler's insight that you can always ask another why. Yes you can always ask "but how do you know?". But so

Could you please elaborate on why you insist that the word has no use? There are things that are merely probable, and there are things that are beyond doubt. Not using the word fact for the latter is useless pageantry if the "well, tec

I think your second paragraph is imperative. The question was always what Teslas headstart in EVs would mean. Fundamentally it might just turn out the answer is "not very much".

by Certhas 4y ago
Nobody was suggesting mandating bulkier phones. The argument was only that in this case what a majority of (or at least many) people want is not actually being made. That is not surprising, it's just capitalism and market failure.

I don't get what you are suggesting here. Companies build separate phones for separate market segments all the time if it attracts customers. Moreover, there are many companies building phones. Yet there are ~ 0 caseless phones out the
