Search google for "EV fire blanket". They don't extinguish the fire so much as contain it.

One of the primary FPGA developers a while back said that it's unlikely that the MisterFPGA project will evolve to a much larger FPGA anytime soon because it's an immense gap between the current most complex cores and the systems that come after it.

Not only would it require a much larger FPGA, but writing the cores is becoming way more difficult.

My apartment complex won't even let you park an EV inside or under any of the structures because of the fear they have of EV fires.

I think there can be good remedies that can reduce the amount of harm. Like gambling is legal where I live, but only card rooms where players play against each other and not a dealer, the house just takes a cut. This way almost all of the money stays in the community.

That's the best case for most of us, but probably not Beeper Mini, since the cat-and-mouse game is their killer competitive advantage. With the barriers gone the space will be totally flooded with options, not to mention just normal Android integration.

That's what this article is about, they're doing the integration work.

An integration with a very popular tool is already available for use. I've personally tested it and did get a 2x speed up. I didn't have to sign-up for anything.

Stable Diffusion 1 contains a model OpenAI released. The CLIP encoder that was trained on text/image pairs at OpenAI.

I'll never figure out why it turned my entire feed into NBA players and teams, I didn't follow a single one. I had to mute dozens of accounts to get it to show me something else. I actually found it kind of entertaining though, they could make the mute button a little more satisfying and then you'd have a game there.

    "Prior to controlling for wealth, however, the results indicate that schools with legacy preference policies indeed have much higher alumni giving. These combined results suggest that higher alumni giving at top institutions that employ legacy preferences is not a result of the preference policy exerting influence on alumni giving behavior, but rather that the policy allows elite schools to over-select from their own wealthy alumni. In other words, the preference policy effectively allows elite schools essentially to discriminate based on socioeconomic status by accepting their own wealthy alumni families rather than basing admissions on merit alone."

So it's likely that if fewer people from wealthy families become alumni then alumni giving will go down.

For the fun of it:

A possible nice thing about it being an external battery is that (presuming they will sell them individually) you can carry more than one.

It produces examples that can be evaluated.

In particular I would like people to consider the implications of "state approved application"

I think people may be overlooking a bigger story here:

https://www.arkleg.state.ar.us/Bills/FTPDocument?path=%2FBil...

  Reasonable age verification methods under subdivision (c)(1)
  of this section include providing:
  (A) A digitized identification card, including a digital
      copy of a driver's license under § 27-16-601 et seq.;
  (B) Government-issued identification; or
  (C) Any commercially reasonable age verification method.

  "Digitized identification card" means a data file available
  on a mobile device that has connectivity to the internet through a state
  approved application that allows the mobile device to download the data file
  from the Office of Driver Services that contains all of the data elements
  visible on the face and back of a driver's license or identification card and
  displays the current status of the driver's license or identification card,
  including valid, expired, cancelled, suspended, revoked, active, or inactive;

I think of <0F and >100F as being when weather starts becoming lethal if you are poorly prepared.

My hunch is that the store wasn't meant to be particularly popular with lots of customers, it was meant to demonstrate technologies they wanted to sell to businesses.

This is an example of why you want interoperable diversity in complex distributed systems.

By having everything so standardized and consistent, they had the exact same failure mode everywhere and lost redundant fault tolerance. If they had different interoperable switches, running different software, the outage wouldn't have been absolute.

When large complex distributed systems grow organically over time, they tend to wind up with diversity. It usually takes a big centralized project focused on efficiency to destroy that property.

I wonder if they took any inspiration from Martin Galway's not-so-secret morse code hidden message in the C64 Rambo intro song, which is a game about rescuing prisoners of war, that was released in 1985.

This article from 1993 has the most important detail missing from the Register article:

Just canceled my membership because they closed the only location in San Francisco that had something resembling modern office bike storage.

The rest of their bike parking "amenities" seem to just be the bare minimum required by San Francisco law, which often means having to take a freight elevator which can take a very long time in a busy building, or put it in a shared cage in a parking garage that is open to the public.

Notably they didn't send me any notification regarding the office closure, I just opened the app and it was gone.

PayPal owed him money, so they paid it. They don't owe him an indefinite business partnership.

We don't know if they deemed him a scam, but it certainly looks scummy to me, so I can't blame them on that one. If people knew it was a ~$100 phone from a company in China that virtually nobody has ever heard of being sold for $500, they probably wouldn't buy it.

That's a perfect example.

I can think of two incentives for the vigilant to stay silent in the face of a scam.

One, in the case of a company especially, they may want their competitors to walk into the trap.

Two, the risk of accusing somebody of being a scammer (that you haven't fallen for) is too great, you get nothing out of it, and risk being sued.

Although, in this case, where peoples' health was put at risk, it would be especially awful to not speak up.

Another trick you can do is when you find a composition you like, but it's off in whatever way, is lock down that seed, and then apply variation to that initial noise state, and produce a bunch more images from there.

Part of the problem is ChatGPT’s incorrect answers are so well formed they seem more correct than the average incorrect human answer which is usually short, lazy, not even related to the question, contains no explanation, etc.

ChatGPT creates long logical answers often with explanations and the errors are very subtle. If it were let to run wild across stack overflow it would take a lot more effort to weed them out.

That would be like the opposite of survivor bias. We never hear the boring stories of the diligent people who avoided disaster.

San Francisco is strongly affected by foreign countries though, through organized crime drug and stolen property smuggling.

I think it's insane to expect the SFPD to have the power to stand up alone to the kind of forces it's up against.

You barely ever hear local politicians talk about it even, I think they're afraid for their lives.

It's "Don't bite the hand that feeds you." all over the place.

I really want to understand how Amazon doesn’t understand this. What is it that has them so totally blind to what everybody else can so plainly see?

I wonder how much it would have cost to simply recreate Google Earth VR, which is still one of the most compelling VR applications, period. It was released 6 years ago.
