You are correct. This headline seems to be purposefully obfuscating the difference. That Tesla is benefitting from these programs is more an indictment of the companies that are paying the money than of Tesla itself and that's where th

I'm in my 70s with two knees that have experienced the ravages of too much tennis and running. This looks like a godsend if it works!

Exactly. There are so many questions like this that all have the same answer: why don't they paint like Kandinsky <pick your own favorite>? Why don't they write like <pick your favorite writer>? It's a non-sensica

I fear this analysis would fit very well in the realm of "Spurious Correlations": https://www.tylervigen.com/spurious-correlations . At time scales like two or three years, very few economic correlations mean anyth

Strikes me as sensationalized pessimism. As Tyler Cowen often says, given the right conditions "supply is elastic". Big discoveries recently in South and North America might make this a very temporary thing.

Very cool. I've used PD a lot in the past, but I didn't know about his book!

It's not going to directly teach you how to build a harmonizer, but this guy has a series of incredible videos on audio processing that might be helpful: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-wATfeyAMNoirN4idjev...

That is a really nice bit of information communication. Hat's off! I feel like I learned a lot and that always makes me happy. One quibble. At the end it mentions why Mexico's west was of interest to the Spanish, but neglects poss

I understand, but consider for a moment what you might think you want vs. what you might get: deflation. That's what happens when prices start falling and historically I can guarantee you that you really don't want to be living

I just have to point out that the Vallée de Joux (namesake of the Valjoux movement) is a beautiful spot in Switzerland that is located such that very few foreign tourists ever go there. Definitely worth the visit.

Next thing you know they're going to try to tell us that anonymous political funding by foreign adversaries and non-state actors isn't a good idea.

Seems like it would be a more accurate title to say "Almost no 'open source' AI models are open".

The personal experience of the economy isn't quite as you make it. In polls, people do complain about the national economy being in terrible shape, but by a fairly good margin report that their own finances are in good shape. It's

Isn't the point that by sharing with weather.gov (which I personally think is a great idea), you're in effect giving it to weather.com?

Beautiful buildings as they were got too expensive to build. When labor was cheap compared to materials lots of things were possible.

Not to mention that Justinian largely bankrupted the state's coffers that Anastasius had so carefully built up in his misguided attempt to reconquer the western part of the empire then proceeded to blame everything on his general Belis

Robin (the podcaster) specifically modeled this podcast on Mike Duncan's History of Rome podcast. I highly recommend both.

Mine's similar. I enrolled in a class, but never went. It's finals day and I'm determined to take it, but I can't find the classroom. Hours of looking for it.

If we think we're being visited by aliens, then this suggests that this is the kind of thing we should be on the lookout for here.

Having lived with young kids in Switzerland, I agree, but one also has to add that there are very few places your kids won't be safe in Switzerland. Most places you could leave your bike unlocked and have a reasonable expectation it wo

As an American, that's a pretty embarrassing, if not unexpected, result.

Late 70s, I worked for a company that built embedded monitoring equipment. They'd been using the Intel 8051 coding it with assembly and had just done their first Z80 boards. I was fresh out of college and told them I could code it in C

It's the first time I can ever remember on a contested vote where both the two Democratic Senators from my current bluer than blue state voted the same (nay) as the two Republican Senators from my former redder than red state. Strange

All true, but I haven't found any forum that works for very localized (geographically or otherwise) interests than reddit. I've long ago stopped looking at or participating in any non-localized subreddit.

I understand the difference, but if you find yourself inadvertently getting between a black bear and her cubs, I think you'll find they can be very dangerous, also.

I dunno. I just listened to it on Spotify and it sounded much better than either of the versions in the article. Maybe it's because it was in the context of the whole song.

I haven't read the actual law, but the description of it sounds like it's limited to things like imitating an artists voice. Certainly it makes sense to not allow a recording that claims to be Luke Combs singing, oh, say his new s
