Reminds me of the old Finnish metro station display reverse engineering http://sooda.dy.fi/2013/8/19/metro-station-display-reverse-e...


After which VW will deny any warranty claims or won't do any repairs. Or even worse, brick the car remotely. It will be akin to unlocking bootloaders on phones or Nintendo bricking consoles.


"Lampi" means "pond", "järvi" means "lake"


Every Finnish word is precious


Finland has over 180,000 lakes. Makes sense that they have more than one word for it.


Regulation that came to be because of the aggressive lobbying.


Mind sharing these? My current job includes a lot of manual copying, at least until I can automate it. Especially the plaintext/no newlines paste sounds very useful!



Appreciate it!


Cannot say if useful, but if you need to insert/copy paste text (and modifiers) there is a tool written in AHK that is very handy:

>It's referring to total deaths, not per capita, let alone per pedestrian.

What exactly does it matter? Deaths per capita is a stupid statistic anyway. The pedestrian deaths are at least 3 times as numerous in the USA than, for example, the Nordic countries. (in terms of pedestrian deaths/driven distance)

If anything, the article is trying to make a point that the car centricism in the US is bad, and steps should be taken to make it less so.


The European prices are ridiculous. 4090 starting 1999€. I guess I'll be skipping another generation of cards...


You do realize that it’s about 350 euro in added 22% VAT, right? That makes it about $/€50 different. You expecting a massive discount or something? I’m not saying euro pricing isn’t usual higher, but everyone always forgets the tax.


Yes, I do realize the tax. The price is ridiculous nevertheless. I do not expect anything else but reasonable pricing.

Stop being a corporate apologist. Nvidia is known for anti consumer behaviour since forever. This is just another Turingesque launch. i.e. bad.

I swear you "but the tax" people always crawl out the woodwork whenever someone is discontent with pricing.


The tax is literally the problem with quoting the price in Euros.

As far as the price, the equivalent card from the 3 series was the 3090 RTX, which released at $1499 msrp 2 years ago. Given the inflation over past few years, $100 increase is not an increase in constant dollars. This new top of the line card has twice the performance for effectively the same price.

Yes these top of the line cards are crazy expensive, but it doesn’t seem like this is actually worse than the 3 series pricing. You are talking about more than 6 Xbox’s worth of compute here for an ultra enthusiast market.


It's also a problem by USD oriented pricing. It tend to be done by US based company like Apple and Nvidia. I found new Samsung Galaxy price isn't looks so bad unlike them because they are Korean.


Yes, US companies tend to price a bit higher in non-USD in order to hedge against currency risk. Their profits are reported in USD.


In the same way radiologist can be replaced by AI. So, no.


Radiologists have a high responsibility of detecting the right things.

Chemists can just try out things.

I don't think you can compare the two.


I was implying that you still need a human to make the final decision. AI can be a valuable aid in both fields. Doctors can't just let the AI do all the work in the same way synthetic chemists can't blindly trust the AI to spit out correct and feasible results. Research time is expensive and thus the effort needs to be evaluated, and usually the intuition of said chemists trump that of the AI.


True. But perhaps you can eliminate 9 out of 10 chemists, and replace them by an AI that generates ideas. Then use the 1 chemist to validate those ideas.


And that's why I want to build me a robot.

Not to generate ideas, there's always more ideas than resources in chemistry.

Mainly to do more automated routines than ever.

9 out of 10 chemists aren't that great at the bench anyway.

Everyone would probably benefit from getting them in front of a computer full-time to leverage their training in a way, and freeing up the bench space to those who can really make the most of it.


Not the focus of the article, but analytical chemists need to do a lot of proper detecting themselves to be high-performing just like the radiologists do.


Chemical synthesis is much more than just retrosynthesis. Even if it was, you can not just plug in the novel previously unsynthesized molecule and expect any reasonable results. Furthermore, the tool is based on Reaxys which in turn uses already established reaction routes and conditions from literature and patents. Good luck optimizing yields for something you don't know even how to synthesize, let alone what conditions to use.


> Chemical synthesis is much more than just retrosynthesis.

Of course, but we are talking about chemical discovery - after which you want to test if the compound theoretical capabilities work on cells. Yields are not yet a concern!

> expect any reasonable results

No it won't do all the work, but it will direction, and suggestion for which pathways could be used.


I can live without both. I unfollowed everyone and everything on FB and log in maybe once a week on my PC to check for event invites. (Covid has diminished those too)

On Instagram I only followed some old acquitances. Not really anything I could not live without. Stopped using it altogether.

Now, I don't know if most people can live without them but I certainly can. Deleted both apps and never looked back.

Weird seeing Meta threaten like this when their time on the limelight has come and gone. Tiktok is eating up Meta's users it seems and it shows.


I wouldn't mind if the EU took a critical look at Tiktok's data use as well.
