Plus the slippery slope of what other identity groups should get seats reserved for them. It's also not democratic so I don't really see how it could work in a western country, but then I've been surprised a lot recently.

I agree with this statement. Unfortunately, an ineffective (though apparently safe) vaccine got pushed at all cost through various misinformation and confused messaging, probably irreparably damaging the public's trust in vaccines in o

I'd love to see hydrogen get more emphasis vs electric. “Our company can’t make hydrogen happen. It’s essential there is a long-term national strategy in which hydrogen is not disadvantaged. A [hydrogen] fuel production and deliver

Carry a "burner" phone and give that to the criminal. Ideally just carry it, or at least keep the real one somewhere more secure and less obvious and produce the burner. Requires the discipline of using the real one when you'

Right, it seems like with celebrities no press is bad press (with a couple exceptions) and Twitter feuds and drama bring more interest. But doing it on behalf of a company can only look bad. The obvious example is Musk who regularly makes h

Ideally I agree. The issue seems to be that barriers to entry are too high. There is so much regulatory capture in the automotive industry, everything is arrayed in favor of incumbents.

Greed? It's a pretty textbook case for regulation.

I rented a skoda this year and I own a VW. They share the same "infotainment" system and it's shit. I otherwise like volkswagen but I can't recommend them based on their awful computer. I joke that it must have been desi

The real impetus behind electric cars is vendor lock in and monitoring. It brings a clean slate to the currently robust repair market.

Maybe not head to head, but you can definitely compete. Facebook has tried at least twice to materialize communities out of nothing (threads and metaverse), and they fail because it's not organic, they inherit all the bad stuff that co

I would expect these are more likely to be used either for testing or for very niche applications, and would never be expected to be competitive for general purpose workloads. So I'm not too surprised by the cost.

I can imagine that the spec would to some extent reflect an attempt to capture the behavior of the jvm they actually wrote, as opposed to being created first and then having Sun implement afterwards? It sounds like an interesting exercise t

Skimming it, I think they're not talking about academic deep learning research but about all the posturing around "AI" that various charlatans are up to. Actual AI research often isn't very rigorous and is more "tr

I'd say we're currently choking to death on the self actualization that came from living in a safe society where all our needs are met. That remains more pressing than any externalities, which tend to get addressed as they become

Western society peaked in the 80s so maybe we should listen to some of the arguments from back then.

Training LLMs on data that you don't own the rights to is copyright infringement. No it isn't. There is nothing indicating this is true and lots of evidence that it's either fair use or more likely not a use at all. J

Before chatgpt people were putting stuff online and were fine with their lot. OpenAI found something else to do with that data, and it feels like people are upset they aren't getting a cut, even if their economics haven't changed.
