It costs 20€ just to get a Taxi go come out here, and the total cost of taking a taxi to the closest bus stop is about 40€. Sure, if the weather is nice, I can ride a bike to the same bus stop and get some exersize at the same time, but that'll get a bit problematic during winter.

I don't expect society to spend hundreds of millions on making public transport available to the 30% of the Finnish population who live outside urban areas. It will, however, take more than a decade before EV's are viable alternatives to everyone living in the countryside; the power grid needs extensive renovations, power production needs to get away from fossil fuels and the EV's themselves need to be both capable and cheap enough for people to afford them. I can buy 20 year-old car in working order for about 600€ today if I want to. Even cheaper if I don't care about electric windows.

I know people who would barely be able to afford such a purchase if their current car broke down. None of them will be able to afford a used EV anytime soon, and I suspect, not in '25 either.

That being said, EV's is a good thing. We need synthetic petrol and diesel until they're able to fill all needs currently filled by ICE cars, though. We're going to need it for farming and forestry equipment and the like anyway, so we might aswell get that ball rolling.

> Coming from AWS to Linode VPS with Caddy + Docker felt great

I guess that depends what you were using with AWS, but Fargate + k8s is a pretty amazing workflow.

> Im wondering at what point (N requests per second ?) it becomes tech dept

I make these calls for our org, and I wouldn't call it tech debt based on the performance or scale, but because of maintenance. As an example, if you needed to hire a new person/replacement person for your team, would it be easier to find someone who can maintain k8s or docker compose?

The other area it shines for is the ecosystem. If you need to add monitoring to your app (e.g. with Prometheus), adding it to a k8s cluster is `helm install prometheus`
If you think it's bad then why do you use it? Browsers still support just HTML. You can shove a just a script tag down in the page.

Eventually, you'll have enough devs working on this you'll start to run into issues with how you coordinate your work. Your site becomes large enough the code gets more complicated and needs organising to work on it without slowing you down. You'll start to reinvent the above tools to solve these problems.

Frontend/JS tooling isn't perfect, but don't pretend like other languages/systems (can) have a complex pipeline of build tooling.

Deno used to run the type checker with the `run` command, but now you need to pass a flag to run the type checker.
Of course its arbitrary, but you gotta pick something. We optimise for progression. Failing a sprint doesn't actually have any real ramifications. What we use failure for is a signal to indicate problems. Missed? I guess we have some talking to do in retro to figure out what was misunderstood. Missed three sprints in a row? Is there a problem we need to resolve?

Similar to misses, we don't really get much from shipping on that cadence either, other than progress and building confidence in upper management to base their timelines on us delivering what we expect.
> you cannot calculate anything.

What one would formally do is represent these as points of an imaginary unit sphere centered on the observer. There is an angular distance between those two points (one located using our hearing, another located using eyesight), which is what is observed as "plane not being where you hear it".

While one can't calculate much from these observations, it doesn't take much to get there: all you need is another similar observation (eg. at the time when the plane sounds as if it's where you first observed it) along with measuring the time between those measurements (say, counting seconds if you don't have a stopwatch, since we are very imprecise anyway). The time it took the airplane sound to "move" between these two points is how long it took for sound to reach you from the first observed plane position. And now you've got the distance from you (speed of sound multiplied by time) at that point.

With a few assumptions which are applicable to experiments like this (eg. constant airplane velocity, and climb rate being either small or constant), you can also establish where the plane was when the original sound was emitted, what's the speed it travels at, etc.

Error bars in all the measurements would be pretty huge if only observing with eyes and ears and by counting, but the fact that the effect is easily noticed even with all those "measuring errors" is fun to consider.

You can also move to much better instruments to measure all of these (including direction the sound is coming from).
Certainly a car club of some sort in the village replacing the 100 or so cars normally here with say 80 rental cars could be beneficial, not sure it would save much environmentally though, especially given that most vehicles passing are either vans or tractors

This is not anti-car, it is about fighting climate change. And whataboutism doesn't help. We have to basically eliminate all sources of greenhouse-gas emissions to fight climate change. So yes, we need to make cars not emit CO2. And to deal with any other emissions, like the ones you have named.

And of course, no one is asking people to get rid of car, just not to buy any ICE car after 2035. Today, there are already lots of electrical cars to choose from and the offerings will definitely increase going forward, especially as now car manufacturers have a clear deadline for combustion engines.
Soon as you leave the major cities in Finland, EV charging points are present but in a lot of cases they are taken. You might drive 100km and need to charge, only to arrive at the first charging station and all spots are full. So you have to wait - sometimes 1-2hrs - and hope that no Tesla has parked overnight. You can't go much further as the next station is in another 50-150km.

Petrol stations are ubiquitous and take 1-2mins to fill a car. We are going to need a lot more charging stations than pumps if we are to make this work for a fully or mostly EV population.

If anything, that teaches people to hate work (and life).

Because most if not all frameworks run on Node.js, while Aleph seems to aim to be the Next.js for Deno.
Like I said, safety concerns are fine, these things should be properly regulated like any aircraft, but if they can be safely regulated then I don't see a problem.

>Congestion is not solved by small expensive air taxies

If you expect a new transport to 'solve congestion' as a requirement for it to be allowed, we're not going to allow anything. Incremental improvements can add up.

I just find these "I can't have it, so you can't either" arguments so short sighted. Lots of technologies start out the domain of the wealthy before achieving scale and mass adoption. Maybe we won't all be mass adopting air taxis, but some of the technologies that come out of these things may well end up in our cars, or houses, or benefiting us indirectly.
I disagree with this, I think it's just a force of habit, where outdated industrial era behavioral patterns keep propagating themselves because no one takes the time to rethink them.

There are plenty of companies with flexible working hours, and large open-source programming projects with completely asynchronous workflows.

Now yes, there are some valid reasons for a business, such as a shop or restaurant, to have certain opening hours - for most shops, being open during the day and at similar times to other shops (to increase chances that a customer who comes to buy something from one shop will be drawn into the shop next door) is ideal.

However, there is no valid economic reason that I can discern for the vast majority of businesses and the school system to keep blindly imitating 19th century factories in their work hours.
I don't have the source but the navy tried something similar for allowing scuba divers to fill there lungs with oxygen rich liquid I don't think it was perfluorocarbons but the ended canceling the project because while they could oxygenated someone they were unable to exchange out carbon and ultimately the person they experimented on (yes human experiment) died from CO2 toxicity.

Ah, well if you start this project by calling present AI intelligent, then you're right.

I take the A to apply to the I, ie., AI is artificially Intelligent. Its not actually intelligent.

We didnt arrive at a notion of intelligent via digital computers. We have been talking about it for thousands of years, at least.

I am talking about the pretheoretical, intuitive notion of intelligence that doesn't prejudge the question of AI. What is it we call intelligent?

Intelligence is a kind of rapid adaption and coping to environmental change. It's a way of being responsive to an environment. Its a kind of radical underminism of response: a thermometer's response is determined. An animal, in having reasons to do things, is radically under-determined.

And thus, in acquriing specific hisotries, animals bring their own reasons to environemnts, and thus are able to cope with a vast amount of sudden change that would, eg., destroy a thermometer.

And what we are concerned with, both with real AI, and with animals is systems which are in the world with us, in this way: that are likewise radically able to cope.

There are quite a few people using it to send money without intermediaries to family in the third world. I can't give you specific numbers, because the system isn't built to provide them. This is, in my opinion, a feature.

I wonder if the buildings these aircraft should land on can take the load of the downwash and the noise.

In Europe there is a tilt rotor initiative. This has a smaller and more intensive downwash than a helicopter.

I also recently read a report about the effects of rattle noise from Chinook helicopters affecting houses above 75dB noise levels.

If my concerns are valid, I estimate travel times to increase. You would need to visit a vertiport first.

Why can't you just install a wallbox? Here in Germany, it became the law that any renter has the right to install a wallbox (or rather have one installed by a professional electrician). They all come with power regulation, so if several cars would together draw more current than the main connector provides, they would reduce charging to limit the total load.

There was a recent experiment, where all renters in a large complex got an electric car for a year, it turned out they very rarely charged at the same time, even less than expected.

The problem is that lots of people who have never done any introspection, or looked into the discussions in the field of artificial sentience, will draw completely arbitrary lines in the sand for what "cannot be sentient".

I took issue with the article saying sentience requires an "awareness of the world" too. I think it self-evident that a humans sentience doesn't disappear when we remove sensors like sight, or touch, or sound - it just means their experienced world is different from the world. In the end, I only really feel confident saying sentience requires probably some perception, and information processing.

A sense of self also feels right, like it should be necessary, to me - but again depending on what senses we give to a thinking entity, its reasonable it may not have enough sensory information to create a concept of self vs other, while still being able to process information intelligently, ""think"" and learn.

There are lots of other arguments above saying Lambda can't be sentient because it doesn't experience human emotions, fear, self-presevation, and doesn't run until prompted. However I think those are again all sensory choices and implementation details, which avoid the actual question of what sentience as an emergent behaviour is, and how we could ever detect it.

These are age-old questions experts in the field still argue about, it's sad to me how over-confidently a lot of the above repliers are in their lack of consideration to the problem at hand.
Why would they?

They will probably want to fly across non easy terrain because otherwise you could just use some other means than an expensive helicopter.

I definitely reach -20 every single year and 45C on a hot day in an enclosed space with sunshine on it isn't unheard of either.

But it's not too much to ask to just create a space for it that's slightly insulated. Making a small space in the garage be within say -10..45 even though outside temps vary -30..30 like they do where I live, is cheap and easy.
Trust and the Linux kernel development model
I have only two clear memories from when I was around 2.5 years old. I think they stuck because of an unusual connection. There was a guy who used to come to our door and sell eggs, in huge 24-egg cartons (I didn't count them, I just remember the big square size). And then one day we took a long drive in my father's old car, along wet dirt roads, and ended up at a country house where my mother bought a sewing machine. And it was the same guy selling that one. So he was clearly some kind of peddler of various diverse items (and his farm house explained where he got the eggs from, but that's my much later reasoning).
(the sewing machine is still around, btw, a lifetime later).
For other memories I don't have any clear ones until I'm a bit more than three years old. But I have lots of them.

Edit: Oh, and of course the memory from when I was exactly three.. I fell on my head from quite high, landed on ice.. I probably fainted, but I remember a guy came and carried me home. I got a concussion from that.

Do you know LaMDA? How it's work? Have you ever talked with it? Or are you just assuming here?

> It waits idly for more input from you, the user. For all its talk of loneliness, it doesn't ask, "where did you go?"

To be fair, so do many humans. Not everyone is a small talker, or always interested in the swallow gossip happening before them at some random moment. On the other side, it's very simple to make a chatbot proactive. I've even made some myself. You can't really evaluate anything from this behavior.
Just to add a point as everybody is going on about how much they use per day or what: You are expected to generate power, too.

With a battery around 9 kWh, you'll probably install a solar system around 3 times as big or sth. like that.

So those capacity has to buffer for the night time when you're sleeping, heating probably goes somewhat down, nobody is cooking on 4 induction plates etc. pp.

> In this way the machine becomes an abstraction and a disguise for human ruthlessness.

That's the key point right there. A machine is nothing but a predictable and designed application of natural forces. This begs the question what the author is even arguing about in this context. Does he argue that collections of levers, gears, or transistors require a benevolent mind in order to not be "ruthless"? Does he honestly require a sentient mind, or as he puts it "a face to talk to" and "brook an argument", in every human-made apparatus?

Demanding to be able to argue with a set of gears, pipes, and wires is exactly like demanding to being to argue with lightning or gravity. Machines are the opposite of an abstraction after all, as an abstraction is - by its very definition - not applied or practical and considered apart from concrete existence.

The author completely turns the definition of a well defined term on its head to artificially construct a difference between natural forces and the effect of machines. A difference that cannot exist unless you consider machines magic - which, looking at his complaint about not being able to reason with them, doesn't seem far fetched.
> Reminds me of the Star Trek TNG episode where Captain Piccard defends Data's sentience by asking the counterparty to define sentience.

Off topic, but when I watched The Original Series I was interested to learn that the TNG episode, which is fairly well known, is mostly just a retread of a very similar TOS episode, which isn't.
It uses Preact, just in time bundling, and a number of other concepts that would probably be a pain to integrate seamlessly into those. Seems like a justifiable from scratch prototype.

Is 2-phase really a thing in the EU? Very rare to have more than one phase in the UK, sure you'll get a 30A circuit for an oven (mine can theoretically draw about 20A if all 4 inductions, 3 ovens and the hotplate are on), and if you had an external garage/workshop you might even go as far as a 60A feed I guess, but none of that needs more than 1 phase.
Per the WaPo article, he also came in with a lawyer he ahd retained to represent the interests of LaMDA. I don't see how that can square with anything other than a deep belief that the model is as sentient as a human.
