In DK the ballpark savings is 25-50 US cents saved pr mile driven when public charging. But you can save even more at home or work. Unlimited public charging can also be had around 120USD a month. It’s around a half dollar for a public KwH and gas is around 9 usd/ gallon here.

With competitors it would drop to margin cost, but without competitors I guess it becomes a function of the income distribution? Assuming cost pr. unit is fixed, it’s better to sell 1 unit for 100$ than 2 units for 50$.

I think more often it’s about translation. From image to classification ex. with no hope of mapping back.

Is this “just” using the NN to approximately compress and decompress things? That doesn’t seem to explain the performance gains, unless some work can be done in the reduced space?

Russia was(is?) an important contributor to western culture.

He probably has some sort of kleptomania.

The original hat tile paper came with a nice webdemo (https://github.com/isohedral/hatviz) for recursively builidng a tiling following the method in the paper. I have a version with a few additions (Truchet patterns) hosted if anyone wants to play around with it here: https://www.johansivertsen.com/customhatviz/app.html

How is that not aligned with what I’m saying? You add some detail, but that doesn’t make me wrong.

How well it works for identifying music is going to be an issue of how well you can construct the feature vector which is not covered. If you map every song in to the same small subset of space, LSH will struggle. Map them to well separated places and it will shine.

Sure, but according to google labour costs are less than 10% in current cars, probably even less in the future.

I still think the EU brands have a chance. The ID2 has lots of potential and the eC3 is a price leader being made in EU. The new scenic and the Renault 5 also seem much more appealing than the BYD cars.

Todays America. Some other countries tax more agressively to keep people working.

Is light discrete or continuous?

MetaPost. Shameless plug for my own introduction page: http://www.learnmetapost.com

Its ok here because the fireworks are so high up, but its pretty annoying behaviour at concerts.

I was about to say the same, The Strokes are/where on a different level than Maroon 5.

If you want to play around with different refraction values and see what happens I made a MetaPost script for that once: http://www.hugoblog.onrender.com/post/prism/

We not just switch to evil mode or boon. Lets of ways to make emacs more ergonomic, no reason for apostasy.

Agreed, but I think the defaults aren’t that bad. It should not be an IDE or git UI out of the box IMO. What’s needed is better default completion and discoverability.

Looks nice, some kind soul should add it to emacs themes https://github.com/emacs-themes/emacs-themes-site

I think so yes. They make money on those chargers so I imagine they will keep putting them up as demand grows.

You are a very rare customer. Most people take a break after driving for a few hours. Might as well charge the car. A fast charge speed that lets you drive a few hours on 30mins of charging and you don’t really need more battery capacity than that. Which is pretty much what new EVs already offer. It’s more likely that the cars will start getting lighter as the battery tech improves, a 600mile battery capacity really wouldn’t make a lot of sense for most customers.

Charge at the office, charge at the supermarket, wherever you go. I don’t drive much but having a 22kw AC charging car I can get charged for the week in 45 minutes of swimming. Having a charger at home is convenient, but not really necessary.

A bicycle does all the things an electric capsule could do and much more. You can add weather protection to a bicycle if you need. You can add electrification. No need to reinvent the wheel.

w.r.t the paper when they say they need k-wise independent hash functions, this is a requirement on the family of hash functions used. It’s not the functions that are independent of each other, it’s the values from any particular function that are independent of each other. Just in case this wasn’t already clear.

Don’t be too critical dr. Ahle. Maybe it’s a new single-neuron architecture.

You can have plenty of tribalism and conflict between people under the same government.

It does happen. Spotify and Unity come to mind, but then they always move to the US. Don’t know why.

I can’t use phind on one of my machines thanks to this. It’s Just stuck trying to load the checkbox. Windows machine.

Dall-E interest dropped because it got surpassed by Stable Diffusion and Midjourney, not because it was an empty promise.
