    Drivers who purchased hydrogen-fueled cars are suing Toyota over their own stupidity.

    yahoo.com/news/drivers-hydrogen-cars-annoyed-california-100052443.html

    There are only 54 locations offering hydrogen refueling in California, out of the 200 the state has promised. Why people are suing Toyota rather than the state I do not know.

    >When he first bought his Toyota Mirai in 2022, Ryan Kiskis was a happy man. He loved the idea of applying cutting edge hydrogen fuel cell technology to environmental consciousness.

    >"It's a great car," he said. "My background is an engineer, I'm a huge automotive fan, and I felt the the world was finally catching up with what we have to do" to cut greenhouse gases.

    Hydrogen is a lousy fuel. Any engineer should understand that, meaning Mr Kiskis is a lousy engineer.

    >Then reality crashed in. He soon learned that hydrogen refueling stations are scarce and reliably unreliable.

    After he bought the car?

    >He learned that the state of California, which is funding the station buildout, is far behind schedule - 200 stations were supposed to be up and running by 2025, but only 54 exist.

    Well, that project is doing better than the California high-speed rail at least.

    >And since Kiskis bought his car, the price of hydrogen has more than doubled, currently the equivalent of $15 a gallon of gasoline.

    You would need a heart of stone not to laugh.

    >With fueling so expensive and stations so undependable, Kiskis - who lives in Pacific Palisades and works at Google in Playa Vista

    Of course he works for Google.

    >drives a gasoline Jeep for everything but short trips around the neighborhood."I"ve got a great car that sits in the driveway," he said.

    With any luck it will get stolen.

      Refueling a hydrogen car in California is so annoying that drivers are suing Toyota
      Dozens of Californians are part of a class action lawsuit filed in July against Toyota. They claim the carmaker's salespeople misled them about the state's unreliable hydrogen refueling infrastructure.

    Lots of juicy details from that Google antitrust ruling.

    theverge.com/24214574/google-antitrust-search-apple-microsoft-bing-ruling-breakdown

    Google pays device makers enormous amounts of money to direct search requests to them. 20% of Apple's profits come directly from Google.

    Estimates from the two companies suggest that it would cost Apple $20 billion in development costs and $6 billion per year in operating expenses to replace Google Search with its own platform, and when Google is paying you $20 billion a year not to do that the decision is pretty simple.

    The only problem is that if you are deemed to have a monopoly, which doesn't necessarily mean an absolute monopoly, this is illegal.

    Exactly what will happen is still anyone's guess, but Google has few friends on either side of the political aisle. Deemed insufficiently on board with the progressive side of the kosher sandwich, the company has burned every imaginable bridge on the conservative side, many of them twice.

    AI needs high-quality human-generated data for training. That comes from the internet. But the internet is becoming increasingly overrun with AI-generated garbage. How screwed is future AI training? Absolutely fucked.

    techcrunch.com/2024/07/24/model-collapse-scientists-warn-against-letting-ai-eat-its-own-tail/

    >But the thing is, models gravitate toward the most common output. It won't give you a controversial snickerdoodle recipe but the most popular, ordinary one. And if you ask an image generator to make a picture of a dog, it won't give you a rare breed it only saw two pictures of in its training data; you'll probably get a golden retriever or a Lab.

    >Now, combine these two things with the fact that the web is being overrun by AI-generated content and that new AI models are likely to be ingesting and training on that content. That means they're going to see a lot of goldens!

    The paper in Nature is pretty technical.

    nature.com/articles/s41586-024-07566-y

    ...and the supplementary content even more so, but in the Tech Crunch article there is an image that explains everything. In just four steps, the AI goes from a fairly representative idea of dogs to complete garbage.

      'Model collapse': Scientists warn against letting AI eat its own tail | TechCrunch
      from Devin Coldewey
      If the models continue eating each other's data, perhaps without even knowing it, they'll progressively get weirder and dumber until they collapse.

      AI models collapse when trained on recursively generated data - Nature
      from Gal, Yarin
      Analysis shows that indiscriminately training generative artificial intelligence on real and generated content, usually done by scraping data from the Internet, can lead to a collapse in the ability of the models to generate diverse high-quality output.

    Intel's upcoming Arrow Lake-S beats the 14900K by up to 18% when both are constrained to 250W.

    tomshardware.com/pc-components/cpus/arrow-lake-cpu-up-to-18-faster-than-core-i9-14900k-at-250w

    In fact, it's even slightly faster than a 9950X at 160W. Allow the 9950X to use its default maximum power of 230W and it regains the lead by about 7%.

    SpaceX is cheaper and more capable than any other rocket company, and it's not even close. Here's why that's a bad thing.

    arstechnica.com/space/2024/07/spacex-just-stomped-the-competition-for-a-new-contract-thats-not-great/

    NASA estimated that de-orbiting the ISS in 2030 would cost $1.7 billion.

    SpaceX gave them a fixed-price quote of $680 million.

    The closest competitor, Northrop Grumman, came in around NASA's estimate.

    Sure, it would be great if we had a couple of other companies capable of competing with SpaceX. But the key here is scale, and SpaceX is creating its own scale with Starlink. It's not at all clear how another company is going to compete.

    The NSA has found the tape of computing pioneer Admiral Grace Hopper's 1982 lecture, but says it lacks the ability to read it.

    muckrock.com/news/archives/2024/jul/10/grace-hopper-lost-lecture-found-nsa/

    It's an one inch Ampex reel-to-reel video tape, which is hardly uncommon. It took me two minutes of searching to find a commercial service that will convert an entire tape to digital format for $150.

      Admiral Grace Hopper’s landmark lecture is found, but the NSA won’t release it
      In a vault at the National Security Agency lies a historical treasure: two AMPEX 1-inch open reel tapes containing a landmark lecture by Admiral Grace Hopper, a giant in the field of computer science. Yet this invaluable artifact remains inaccessible, trapped in an obsolete format that the NSA will not release, stating that the agency is unable to play it back.

    @wizardmanperson There may be something classified on the tape.

    More likely the NSA has just disregarded anything from before 2000. I was doing a consulting job recently IRL with a client where I needed records from the early 80's and found out that they had destroyed anything from before 1994 long ago.

    The NSA may be the same, anything nonessential from that era is just disregarded and this is one of them.

    I just watched a video of a baby boomer being interviewed where she talks about how she worked as a nurse, bought a house at 23 for 65,000 just by ‘saving up’ without any support, and how she now regularly buys and sells multi million dollar properties.

    God I hate them.
