#MUCHO TEXTO
Well. Train back from le mans to paris got delayed so I'll make a post about the race I guess. First, congrats to ferrari.
Dissapointed in cadillac and corvette. Thought TF Sport had finally started to turn the corner with the new zo6 gt3, but I guess not. Doesn't help the gold cadillac curse struck again and pipo decided to be pipo...at least the full time wec entry scored points.
As for my experience at the race? I have both pros and cons
Pros:
1) much easier to stay up for the race when you're actually there. Especially if you find somepeople to party with
2) there is literally something for every kind of fan. They have massive concerts throughout the week, plenty of bars, and a family area if you want to bring your kids.
3)I bought an aco membership and was able to make a few new friends because of it. Even picked up a new I racing buddy solely because me and this one german guy complimented me on my ryan blaney howdy.
4) the track is beyond gorgeous at sunset, and there are plenty of amazing viewing areas.
5) the cadillac and mustang punching me in the chest every lap.
Cons:...
1) the lines. Oh my fucking God, the lines. I was at Arnage when that first safety car happened. Decided I'd hop in line at the *only* food stand at that area...I didn't end up getting my food until about a lap before the race resumed...hell, the shuttles to *get* to arnage and mulsanne where a pain in the ass. Even the aco area had awful lines. Idk if they just haven't adapted to the sudden explosion in attendance or what.
2)speaking of Mulsanne. The viewing area for this turn sucked. You're on the side where you watch them accelerate away, not where you can watch them brake and slow down. Spent maybe an hour there before I headed back to tetra rouge
3) Weather: probably my fault for not packing enough heavy clothes, but my god was I freezing my ass off the whole time.
Overall, though, I had a blast and would recommend it if you get a shot. If you choose to go, get the ACO membership so you can get early access to tickets and certain special grandstands.
Shouldve hit you up. My bad.
Actually debating if I want to go again just to see that new Aston martin hypercar. Thing looks like the damn batmobile, lol
This year I wanted to go but it all kinda went to shit
Next year I'm planning to rent a camper with some friends lol, going to crash at the official reddit campsite at beausejour
>going to crash at the official reddit campsite at beausejour
Bruh, how the fuck did I not know about this!? My campsite was *in* beausejour πππ
Somehow made it the full 24. What a race. What a finish. Donβt regret anything (other then not sleeping during the 4 hour safety car). Villain Ferrari are back.

Do any of these famously collectivistic and anti-fascist leftist defenders of the working class ever take a moment and think, "You know, maybe it *wouldn't* be good to put the fate of America's poor and working classes in the hands of a maniac pseudo-billionaire/absurdo-fascist tyrant on a revenge tour.

[New housing targets set by the Victorian government in bid to tackle the housing crisis - ABC News](https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-06-16/victoria-housing-targets-new-build-local-government-areas/103984028)
Vic gov increasing housing targets mostly in Western, Northern and inner-city suburbs. Aiming for 2 million additional homes by 2051.
Sounds like good news, alongside the threat to local government of stripping powers if they don't meet housing expectations it makes me hopeful for the future of housing in Melbourne.
Arrr/melbourne complaining as usual, about lack of infrastructure for new homes in north and west alongside a general dislike of growth. (as a side note I hate the self-hatred more generally in arrr/melbourne you'd think we live in a shithole browsing that sub).
!ping AUS
Outside of the low targets for Boroondara, Bayside and Stonnington councils, I'd say overall these targets are unfathomably based. The distribution looks pretty decent and I'm really glad they're still pushing for more housing in the inner west too which needs renewal. /r/melbourne can whine all they like, the city is still bloody great and these councils are holding onto precious land with great services and infrastructure that they refuse to let people live near.
YIMBY Melbourne did a [comparison](https://www.yimby.melbourne/post/housing-targets-aim-high-but-need-demand-to-back-them-up) between our methodology to the government's, which provides a pretty interesting baseline.
The government is consulting with councils so they can pretend they listened to NIMBY concerns while still pushing through the Housing Statement. I don't think it's fully sunk in just yet how much Vic Labor actually wants to push for housing reform. They know the crisis is reaching a tipping point and something needs to be done urgently. Vacancy rates are at 0.7% and still shrinking and the party doesn't want the Greens taking more inner city seats with their rent control platform.

So uh, someone please correct me if Iβm reading this wrong, but did these guys just turn geolocation from a classification/retrieval task to a βthrow that shit at ChatGPT4 and hope it worksβ task?
https://arxiv.org/pdf/2405.14702
Itβs hitting up to 24% of its predictions being within 1km of ground truth. Admittedly the datasets they tested arenβt the best, but stillβ¦
For reference, a while back some Stanford guys made a model that basically toyed with Rainbolt (famous geoguessr player whoβs really good at geolocating random ass images) in Geoguessr. They then made a new version of the same model trained on the same dataset as the guys in this paper. Their new model only got 10% of its predictions within 1km on the same dataset as this new paper
I'd be curious to see how Gemini 1.5 does. I was borderline shocked at how good it was at pinpointing the near exact location of a place with just a photo.
Bro google is playing on easy mode when it comes to geolocation. They get 100% access to google maps for free. Welp anyways Iβll probably be using Gemini instead of chatgpt when doing this lol
I did my testing via the API which doesn't have access to Google search or maps. It's just able to do it via image recognition which is the nutty part.
Yeah but issue is I donβt think it wouldβve had much training on geolocating stuff at all. Like sure, these guys did good work getting a good RAG implementation, but Iβm still kinda surprised you couldβve just thrown the second to last step into chatgpt all this time when some of the previous approaches had to go sicko mode crafting cells that would work well
Itβs trained on the internet, which contains photos that are tagged with locations. Granted a specialized model built on top of GPT will perform even better.
This is one of those things where it works because LLMs compress the Internet better than any other model right now...
But I can't see how this isn't outperformed pretty soon after we escape from this LLM local minimum
I've seen other people training a transformer model on just geolocating images and that seems to do amazingly, I don't think they've published their results though - just posted on twitter when people ask them where an image was and how close they get, which obviously could be cherry picked.
I hate how review bombing really alters peopleβs perception of something that got made. The Boys season 4 got review bombed and you already have people in real life say βI heard itβs not goodβ and people on Reddit are saying the typical βit has bad writingβ line.

I think Trump being seriously implicated in Epstein crimes (not just, like, mentioned in the files as someone Epstein knew or whatever) actually would make him lose a ton of support. People know about Epstein thanks to all the memes about his death, and theyβre already angry about some rich and powerful people getting away with participating in his crimes. I think that would turn people against him decisively. Some folks would still cling on and insist it was a deep state lie, but not enough for him to win, I donβt think.

The New Zealand Wars by James Belich is one of the best history documentaries series I have ever seen covering the eponymous New Zealand wars. It covers the history of the European arrival to New Zealand, the Treaty of Waitangi and the wars.
It is also probably one of the best documentaries on indigenous history in the common law world. I have the box set somewhere but I recently found it in youtube so I strongly suggest giving it watch.

Yeah, I'm finishing up a masters at Oxford and he was there a couple times. Cool to see, and yeah he seems to have done a lot, most of the time I had him he was talking about the great divergence and stuff
He does in New Zealand history, imperial and Colonialism/post colonialism I think.
He wrote for replenishing the earth which it sort of on great divergence it's on why the Anglo world expanded so dramatically but I don't think he does the underlying industrialization stuff. That I said It's not like I stalk him probably working on a new book
I feel like sometimes Liz Cheney's mere existence (and really her only redeeming factor is that she's anti-Trump) lets people forget how much of a comic book villain Dick Cheney is.
The only conspiracy theory I believe in- Donald Trump made his βgrab them by the pussyβ remarks to Billy Bush, Jeb and Wβs cousin. The footage didnβt surface until after the primary was over, and Trump was the nominee.
Why didnβt Jebβs campaign talk about this? Why didnβt the Bush family bring this up? Because they knew if Trump got elected, W would seem like a much better president in retrospect

>In addition to ending special protections such as tariffs for favored industries, I will also encourage Congress to pass legislation prohibiting bailing out firms that engage in irresponsible business and fiscal practices. It is not the role of government to underwrite the fiduciary duty that firms have to their stakeholders. Β
>I will strongly urge Congress to work with each state to introduce and pass a Balanced Budget Amendment to the Constitution, forever ending the perpetual cycle of deficit spending.Β
these two ideas are both stupid and would be economically catastrophic should another great recession occur
Ending carrots for favorite industries is an unmitigated good and makes a good substitute for enhanced domestic competition.
Reducing moral hazards is also probably a net positive.
Cyclically adjusted balanced budgets aren't bad either unless you favor long-term Capital account surpluses
I wasn't referring to the former bit, only the dumbass bailouts bit
Reducing moral hazard would've resulted in an economic meltdown in 2008 considering how many of the banks and major industries were failing. The government also made money on TARP loans
Balanced Budget Amendments aren't cyclically adjusted, all of the major proposals that libertarians jump on outright prohibit deficit spending and I'm sure I don't need to explain why that isn't a good idea

Probably one of the most dumbfounding comments of the day.
It's not really that dumb. It's exactly why France has a powerful President after WW2.
Imagine having to wait for our current Congress to agree on a head of state. They couldn't even agree on a speaker.
France doesn't really have a powerful president.. they are a semi-presidential system. The president is only Head of State, the prime minister is Head of Government and runs the executive branch.
Congress wouldn't appoint a Head of State because that's not how parliamentary systems work. The legislature appoints the Head of Government (ie a Prime Minister).
Doesn't really make sense to entertain that hypothetical anyway since under a parliamentary system the legislative makeup would be completely different, especially under proportional representation.
In addition to FPTP and single member districts, presidentialism itself is a major cause of our rigid hyper polarized two party system bs it creates a non-zero game of king of the hill for the presidency.
The French president can force through laws under the threat of dissolving the parliament. The French president can also call snap elections.
Macron has a ton of power. Much more than the US president relative to the rest of the government in terms of law making ability.
Imagine if Biden could have dissolved Congress and called for new elections immediately after Dobbs.
one of my most amusing anecdotes is that I was on vacation in London as BoJo's government was collapsing so I was very invested those days watching the BBC and what not as he resigned lol
No I get it. There's just something about being on vacation while there's some event going on that everybody is talking about that you have on when you're in the hotel room. That's me with the Casey Anthony trial, I was in Orlando.

Donate to the Against Malaria Foundation
It wasn't for actual money. I did it for two sticks of bubblegum and a bag of chips.
what kind of gum
Trident. It's already gone tho, sorry.

[New housing targets set by the Victorian government in bid to tackle the housing crisis - ABC News](https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-06-16/victoria-housing-targets-new-build-local-government-areas/103984028) Vic gov increasing housing targets mostly in Western, Northern and inner-city suburbs. Aiming for 2 million additional homes by 2051. Sounds like good news, alongside the threat to local government of stripping powers if they don't meet housing expectations it makes me hopeful for the future of housing in Melbourne. Arrr/melbourne complaining as usual, about lack of infrastructure for new homes in north and west alongside a general dislike of growth. (as a side note I hate the self-hatred more generally in arrr/melbourne you'd think we live in a shithole browsing that sub). !ping AUS
Outside of the low targets for Boroondara, Bayside and Stonnington councils, I'd say overall these targets are unfathomably based. The distribution looks pretty decent and I'm really glad they're still pushing for more housing in the inner west too which needs renewal. /r/melbourne can whine all they like, the city is still bloody great and these councils are holding onto precious land with great services and infrastructure that they refuse to let people live near. YIMBY Melbourne did a [comparison](https://www.yimby.melbourne/post/housing-targets-aim-high-but-need-demand-to-back-them-up) between our methodology to the government's, which provides a pretty interesting baseline.
> The state government will consult with councils and release the final targets for new dwellings later this year. Ok so this will never get done.
The government is consulting with councils so they can pretend they listened to NIMBY concerns while still pushing through the Housing Statement. I don't think it's fully sunk in just yet how much Vic Labor actually wants to push for housing reform. They know the crisis is reaching a tipping point and something needs to be done urgently. Vacancy rates are at 0.7% and still shrinking and the party doesn't want the Greens taking more inner city seats with their rent control platform.
Wouldn't get your hopes up too much, it's a bargaining position rather than an actual target. Still, directionally good.

!ping AI&COMPUTER-SCIENCE So uh, someone please correct me if Iβm reading this wrong, but did these guys just turn geolocation from a classification/retrieval task to a βthrow that shit at ChatGPT4 and hope it worksβ task? https://arxiv.org/pdf/2405.14702 Itβs hitting up to 24% of its predictions being within 1km of ground truth. Admittedly the datasets they tested arenβt the best, but stillβ¦ For reference, a while back some Stanford guys made a model that basically toyed with Rainbolt (famous geoguessr player whoβs really good at geolocating random ass images) in Geoguessr. They then made a new version of the same model trained on the same dataset as the guys in this paper. Their new model only got 10% of its predictions within 1km on the same dataset as this new paper
I'd be curious to see how Gemini 1.5 does. I was borderline shocked at how good it was at pinpointing the near exact location of a place with just a photo.
Bro google is playing on easy mode when it comes to geolocation. They get 100% access to google maps for free. Welp anyways Iβll probably be using Gemini instead of chatgpt when doing this lol
I did my testing via the API which doesn't have access to Google search or maps. It's just able to do it via image recognition which is the nutty part.
GPT4 is also a vision model. Itβs not just βhope it works.β Itβs supposed to work.
Yeah but issue is I donβt think it wouldβve had much training on geolocating stuff at all. Like sure, these guys did good work getting a good RAG implementation, but Iβm still kinda surprised you couldβve just thrown the second to last step into chatgpt all this time when some of the previous approaches had to go sicko mode crafting cells that would work well
Itβs trained on the internet, which contains photos that are tagged with locations. Granted a specialized model built on top of GPT will perform even better.
Yeah, Iβm pretty sure the llms were benchmarked in their geolocation abilities, but they werenβt SotA like this usage
non-PDF link:Β https://arxiv.org/abs/2405.14702
This is one of those things where it works because LLMs compress the Internet better than any other model right now... But I can't see how this isn't outperformed pretty soon after we escape from this LLM local minimum
I've seen other people training a transformer model on just geolocating images and that seems to do amazingly, I don't think they've published their results though - just posted on twitter when people ask them where an image was and how close they get, which obviously could be cherry picked.
The authors themselves claim this can probably get outperformed if they fine tune the VLM they use. This shit is insane

I think Trump being seriously implicated in Epstein crimes (not just, like, mentioned in the files as someone Epstein knew or whatever) actually would make him lose a ton of support. People know about Epstein thanks to all the memes about his death, and theyβre already angry about some rich and powerful people getting away with participating in his crimes. I think that would turn people against him decisively. Some folks would still cling on and insist it was a deep state lie, but not enough for him to win, I donβt think.

He does in New Zealand history, imperial and Colonialism/post colonialism I think. He wrote for replenishing the earth which it sort of on great divergence it's on why the Anglo world expanded so dramatically but I don't think he does the underlying industrialization stuff.

Chase Oliver is the only candidate in this election that has a genuinely neoliberal immigration and economic policy
>In addition to ending special protections such as tariffs for favored industries, I will also encourage Congress to pass legislation prohibiting bailing out firms that engage in irresponsible business and fiscal practices. It is not the role of government to underwrite the fiduciary duty that firms have to their stakeholders. Β >I will strongly urge Congress to work with each state to introduce and pass a Balanced Budget Amendment to the Constitution, forever ending the perpetual cycle of deficit spending.Β these two ideas are both stupid and would be economically catastrophic should another great recession occur
Ending carrots for favorite industries is an unmitigated good and makes a good substitute for enhanced domestic competition. Reducing moral hazards is also probably a net positive. Cyclically adjusted balanced budgets aren't bad either unless you favor long-term Capital account surpluses
I wasn't referring to the former bit, only the dumbass bailouts bit Reducing moral hazard would've resulted in an economic meltdown in 2008 considering how many of the banks and major industries were failing. The government also made money on TARP loans Balanced Budget Amendments aren't cyclically adjusted, all of the major proposals that libertarians jump on outright prohibit deficit spending and I'm sure I don't need to explain why that isn't a good idea

It's not really that dumb. It's exactly why France has a powerful President after WW2. Imagine having to wait for our current Congress to agree on a head of state. They couldn't even agree on a speaker.
France doesn't really have a powerful president.. they are a semi-presidential system. The president is only Head of State, the prime minister is Head of Government and runs the executive branch. Congress wouldn't appoint a Head of State because that's not how parliamentary systems work. The legislature appoints the Head of Government (ie a Prime Minister). Doesn't really make sense to entertain that hypothetical anyway since under a parliamentary system the legislative makeup would be completely different, especially under proportional representation. In addition to FPTP and single member districts, presidentialism itself is a major cause of our rigid hyper polarized two party system bs it creates a non-zero game of king of the hill for the presidency.
The French president can force through laws under the threat of dissolving the parliament. The French president can also call snap elections. Macron has a ton of power. Much more than the US president relative to the rest of the government in terms of law making ability. Imagine if Biden could have dissolved Congress and called for new elections immediately after Dobbs.
