I was never sensitive to it, but you are right, it is somehow off-putting.

  > This alley has consisted of mostly murals for several decades.
As an owner, I can change what I permit or do not permit on my property on any whim, with no notice to anyone. That is quite literally what ownership means -- control of property.

Some people have the legal authority to destroy public art. That doesn't make it a morally or socially acceptable behavior.

Is it morally or socially acceptable to paint over someone else's private property?

Morality is relative

Not here; being an owner just means you're liable for the taxes and still have to get permission from someone else to do anything with the space.

To be a bit more nuanced, you can do anything with your property except that which requires permission or approval. NOT that you must get permission for anything you do with your property. The specifics can vary widely from locality to locality, obviously.

Painting a wall is something that usually doesn't require a permit. Maybe some restrictions if the building is a historic landmark or something like that.


Not if there was a contract governing the property.

There almost certainly wasn't here, but owning property does not always give you unrestricted rights to do as you please with it.


You are also a member of the community. That carries obligations.

> can't configure it otherwise

This has not been true for a while. Google "apple watch family setup". You just need to know someone with an iphone, once, to set it up. You can even set up cellular and use that for all watch internet needs, incl imessage, calls, facetim (audio), and weather & apps


Apple Stores will happily swap the battery for you to a new Apple one for $79 IIRC

Looking forward to reviews after a few months of use. So far all the foldables I've seen get destroyed quite fast.

They went over their multi-layer design to give it strength and flexibility, and noted over 100 components in the hinge alone. I'll be looking out for JerryRigEverything on YouTube to see how tough it really is!

JerryRigEverything won't tell you how easily the hinge gunks up or cruft gets stuck in places it's not supposed to be or how quickly crease marks show up and how bad they are.

While Apple certainly looked at the competitors to see what problems they had, it's far from a given that Apple has managed to actually solve the durability issues, either, much less on their first attempt.


It’s not their first attempt though? It’s their first public release.

Imagine they have 100 previous versions as it’s been mooted to have been in development for years


The presentation went into extra detail about durability w/ a titanium construction, and the iPhone Air was indeed super durable with it. The hinge at-the-least looks like it could survive the dust test.

It's a claim in a marketing presentation though.

Apple also touts ultra durable screens in their presentation and people still shatter them regularly.


"ultra durable" does not mean "indestructible."

> So far all the foldables I've seen get destroyed quite fast.

I doubt you did see any from the last few years.


Apple has most likely stress tested its engineers to stress test this phone

being announced right now


what/when was the last "one more thing" ? seems years ago ?


12-15?

I walked home from school and calmly did homework util my parents arrived from work since age 8. This was the norm in Russia. Y'all's kids need daycare till 15?


>Y'all's kids need daycare till 15?

Just the unlucky kids.


> How we found the proof

Easy, we stole it from Levent and Tristan

They did not have a proof of Navier Stokes to steal.

Or everyone is stealing from everyone, including users... maybe why all the ethics people are leaving or getting fired. What a fiasco

This is the academic equivalent of Trump saying "they stole the election". There's no proof of it but rah rah fuck OpenAI.

It's incredibly tiresome and you'd think people could put more effort into it than just following whatever vibes they agree with.

Oh well.


it does change the scale of solution from "solved some navier stokes" to "put the cherry on top"

having a result means the math can keep moving forward, and having openai and anthropic train against how mathematicians use their models should let math continue to move faster, and the rest of us get to benefit.

I think these traces however should be public domain and publicly available, since they are basically university work


Good comparison. One is a multi-year claim by people who have been given ample opportunity to provide proof and completely refuse to do, even in courts of law. The other is a potential development in a breaking story.

Oh wait... its not a good comparrison, its an incredibly obvious false equivalence.

Note for the fools: I'm only commenting on the bad faith claim in the comment I'm replying to, not taking a stance on the validity of theft claims. Given the players involved the truth probably some nuanced middle-ground that is worth paying attention to anyway.


Trump claimed they stole the election immediately, and people agreed with him immediately. There's no false equivalence here. He did the same thing in this past election even despite winning.

It's a perfect example of people wanting to believe what they want to believe and ignoring evidence in order to do so.

Currently, there's no evidence. So saying it was stolen has no basis other than typical academic posturing and being a bad sport about "losing the race to the solution". Its happened 1000000 times before in academia and it will continue to happen.

If there's proof of OpenAI malfeasance than I'll happily curse them for it at that time. But until then I won't rely on heresay and vibes.


No, its a pure outrage. I defended OpenAI til today. I now affirm they must be totally destroyed, burned utterly to the ground.

Why the rage?

Weather an individual or a company found the solution (stolen or not) they both used AI to come get the solution.

We have AGI and the intelligence abundance is going to be amazing for everyone in the future.


> We have AGI and the intelligence abundance is going to be amazing for everyone in the future.

Why? These 'geniuses in a datacenter' aren't good, they aren't 'aligned', they don't work for you. They'll take your job, then they'll hack your computer, and then who knows what's next.


> Why the rage?

I think it's the dishonesty, the threats of "destroying the career" of one of the mathematicians, and the request that one of the authors disavow *the other individual he was working with for the last 1-2 years* so he could claim the Clay prize as part of OpenAI.

It doesn't surprise me that OpenAI's team were surprised he'd turn it down; it shows that they just assume everyone else is as slimy as they are.


>slimy

I can't put my finger on it, but there's something off about this article, e.g. glossing over the opportunism (acting on "rumors"), drive-by claim about "strict safeguards [...] including monitoring and isolation", high horse attitude (we gave the guy a chance, we don't care about 1M USD, and while you fools are complaining we just tick this box and continue the pursuit of our noble goals for the benefit of humanity). I don't like it.


I mean it's definitely an outrage, but I find it hard to believe that you went from "yay OpenAI" to "literally destroy the company" over... accusations of academic misconduct?

Why? As they say: no expectation of privacy in the public space, amirite?

Also, if they have nothing to hide, they have nothing to fear.

Is the inside of a jail cell a public space?

In at least two senses, yes:

1. It is owned by the public. The public has a right to know how its tax dollars are being spent.

2. Certainly there is no expectations of privacy in a jail cell, as the jail administrators and guards can enter at any time.


Number one doesn't necessarily apply in the United States. A lot of our prisons (but not all) are privately run.
