> They could simply make up any justification to deny your claim if they're willing to lie.

Yes, but only if they think they can get away with it. This kind of thing happens all the time.

Arguably, the fact that the ECU was modified is evidence enough. It's pretty difficult to argue that an aftermarket stereo head unit, or air intake, or "ooga" horn caused engine damage. That would be a fairly easy win in court if the dealer is foolish enough to think anyone would buy that explanation.

Remapping an ECU is very different. If an ECU is remapped, that likely means the engine is operating outside of the intended parameters, and dealers would probably argue that the ECU is not intended to be modified by 3rd parties. From their perspective, why should they foot the bill for damage caused by changing how the engine functions? The dealer can deny your warranty claim because they know there's a 99.9% chance you won't fight it, and that you'll probably lose anyway if you do.

In the case of Mercedes and their paywall for faster acceleration, they could argue that any "hack" to enable faster acceleration is not only a form of piracy but that a hack could lead to dangerous situations; when say a bit is flipped to enable the acceleration, but the rest of the conditionals in the programming aren't aware of this change, the behavior of the vehicle can't be entirely predicted.

I don't necessarily agree with any of that reasoning, but this is how car companies not only defend their ability to deny warranty but extract more revenue from its customers going forward into the digital future.
It’s literally how warp works but apparently they skipped right over that so…

The objection is also incredibly weird, I think I’ve “needed” a variable type intake all of once, and it was a mistake to do so (as it’s an easy path towards inconsistent handling at different levels of processing).

So sad to see ARM being run into the ground by greedy capitalists. The thing that did it was the stock flotation in the late '90's, the root of all evil.

After that it was merely a matter of time before greedy shareholders wanted the company sold to the highest bidder.

I'd say the very simple solution is to have representatives decide. Then there's a separate debate about how to the representatives are assigned. At random, based on voting, based on competitive self-appointment by means of heavy weaponry, etc.

Blockchain may or may not make it easier to bypass the concept of having representatives decide, but this assumes we'd want to in the first place, which I am in full agreement with you: this is a feature, not a bug, so I don't wanna, so I don't need blockchain.

Not best, no. I can be top 10% at a few things, though. Not many, but more than one.

This only works with old-school professors who teach by writing on the blackboard. New-school professors like to bombard you with one-hour, 50-slide Powerpoint presentations where each slide has a full page of text in 12-point font, with a smattering of images and diagrams throughout. Since the prof does not need to take time to write anything down, they have no qualms about showing one of these slides for a total of 10 seconds before jumping to the next.

Of course, the nice new-school profs will provide their slide deck as a download some time later that day. The nicer ones will provide the slide deck at least one hour before class, giving you a chance to download it so you can follow along. And the really nice ones will provide the slides in a format with plenty of space along the sides to take your own notes. This works great either for printing out and taking notes directly on the page or for making notes on an iPad or Windows tablet (with OneNote).
“This is sometimes called “white knighting.” I discussed one such example a few years ago. The white knight in question (a senior faculty member, whom I’d never met, who taught at a different university) sent me some very angry emails.

This sounds like much-ado about nothing. We probably need to be far more concerned about "Docker Official Image"s that have been deprecated and are no longer receiving updates such as the "official" /_centos images (including centos7 which in theory isn't EOL but RedHat apparently doesn't care).

> The people [...] went so far as to criticize and attack you for your achievements

I've seen this personally, including from family. Actually managed to get to a point with one family member where we could honestly talk about it, and it was a complicated sort of jealousy.

In their case, they correctly noted that I'm not so much smarter or otherwise distinguished as to "deserve" what I've accomplished so much more than them, and they felt cheated. When asked why they didn't do something like what I did, it came down to personal conservatism and fear. I was willing to risk moving to the "big city" without support (my family is poor). They were afraid to try.

You become evidence of their missed opportunities, and that makes them angry at you. So much worse if you are childless and have the temerity to be happy about it - that really pisses off some of them, too.
I built an interface to manage an audio router. A single misplaced click could take an entire radio or television station offline, an error that occured one to many times.

So.. what I went with is a simple "hold-to-activate" button. If you clicked it without activation a few times, a little box would pop up and tell you what to do. Once you held the button down, it would display a counter, and once it reached zero, then it would take the action. We added a short cut where if you held control and alt it would bypass the counter entirely.

At the same time it would add the previous system state to an undo list where you could revert that or any number of previous actions to return to a prior state.

Once we implemented this errors fell off considerably, and errors impacting broadcast almost entirely disappeared and most of our users were very happy with the way it operated.

That's like saying "I am five foot tall" stops being true when you use a different definition of "tall" (switch it to weight, for example). This isn't insightful and it's also false.

People have agreed on how the plus sign should be defined when it comes to adding two integers, and they've agreed on how to write integers, in which case 2+2 is always four. The only way to change that is to change the meaning of at least one of the four symbols "2", "4", "=", or "+" to some private meaning which no one else shares -- e.g. to distort the language in order to sow confusion, which the use of agreed upon meanings for symbols is designed to eliminate.

Moreover this idea that a sentence changes its truth value the moment someone changes the meaning of one of the words in the sentence is not some deep statement or interesting observation, it's just pointing out that language is useful only if people agree on the meaning of the words.
Thanks for creating the tool! I tried it, indeed a time saver from Googling or reading man pages.

I have a question about the price:

"Pricing

The current prompt length is ~840 tokens and the pricing for text-davinci-002 is $0.02 for 1K tokens which is ~$0.017/command. We'll see if we can improve the response as well as reduce the per-command-cost with fine-tuning."

I wonder how is the price is charged? How can I control my liability of the cost?

Thanks again!
I don't think a server-side sandbox makes sense for anything that is JIT-based (or even binary translation). We already have KVM which is actual native performance, and it can run anything you would ever want, and then some. WASM is bytecode working on a 2GB linear arena, and it fits OK in a browser.
Same here.

I almost went to GOG, but Proton pulled me back to Steam very quickly.

The best streaming app I've ever used was last.fm for the xbox. It required so little attention to get music (and comedy) that I liked instead of constantly being either bored by repetitive selections or needing to skip tracks frequently. Think it got axed when Microsoft decided to create their own streaming service, which didn't measure up to what the last.fm app had.
I'd also love it if there was one that allowed for additional sandboxing. i.e. it can read anything but can never store or talk to the network or cause a network call to happen. I know that'd be harder to do but it'd also allow for a lot of nice add-ons to be made.
I used to have pretty poor handwriting as well. It didn't help growing up in school when learning to write they would just have me trace letters, and never taught what actually makes handwriting legible. A few years back I started practicing calligraphy for fun and it helped out quite a bit. The basics that translate to everyday handwriting are:

1.Use your big muscles to write.(Move your shoulder/elbow, while keeping your wrist and fingers relatively stable.)

2.Make sure vertical lines are all on the same angle. Vertical parts of "l's","h's","T's" etc...

3.The round parts of letters are the same shape (For example the rounded parts of "o's","e's", and "c's" are all the same)
Did George fully move on from Comma? I saw he was stepping back from the CEO position, but I guess I assumed he's still tinkering with the core AI stuff in the background.

I wonder if Comma hit a roadblock or a plateau.

I'm not smart enough to be impressed by the jailbreaking, but Comma was a long term project making physical objects you can buy and use while driving in your car right now. And from what I've seen the tiny company was keeping up with Tesla and KIA and others. Better in some ways, worse in others. But especially impressive considering it wasn't even built into the car.
If it was labeled in some way it would be nicer.

Like when climate deniers come on a show if that show said 99.9% of climate science does not agree with this view. Instead it is usually 1 climate scientist and one idiot which is really not even close to the real distribution.

Given that Jordan Peterson and Rogan are mentioned it should go without saying that the content is made up or not factual.

It will probably still be fun to watch.

> dynamic languages don't require you to "emulate the compiler" in your head

On the contrary. Your ‘functional’ timer function takes an argument and applies the - operator to it.

You must be sure, every time you call the function, that you pass an argument to which - can be applied. If you don't, your user might see a TypeError. So you, the human author of the code, must ‘emulate the compiler’ by performing type inference and type checking in your head.

In my statically-typed language, the compiler ensures that my program only ever passes arguments for which the - operator is applicable. I don't need to ‘emulate the compiler’, because I'm actually using a compiler.
No, really, it can. I'll give some examples. These are all via GPT-3, which I can access from the OpenAI api or online playground.

1. Summarizing papers:

Here are some examples of paper summaries: https://twitter.com/unboxresearch

I wrote the software that uses GPT-3 to produce those. You can look at the papers to judge the accuracy for yourself.

2. Solve math problems:

What is the area of a circle with radius 2?

The area of a circle with radius 2 is 4π.

3. Generate wiki articles:

Write the first paragraph of a wiki article about tigers.

Tigers are the largest members of the cat family. They are apex predators, primarily preying on ungulates such as deer and bovids. They are territorial and generally solitary but social animals, often requiring large contiguous areas of habitat that support their prey requirements. This, coupled with the fact that they are indigenous to some of the more densely populated places on Earth, has caused significant conflicts with humans.

4. Write scientific code:

Write a matlab function to plot the largest three singular values of a matrix.

function plotLargestSingularValues(A)

s = svd(A);

plot(s(1:3));

I'm not trying the others because I think they're more specific to Galactica.

The models, including GPT-3, absolutely do make mistakes. We are in the first few years of these capabilities existing at this level, so much research is needed before the results are consistently good. In my experience, though, GPT-3 is extremely useful and reliable for many use cases. (Building and using tools like this is part of my career.)

Olympians are a combination of both - they have the natural talents/endowment, but they also put in the maximum amount of work. Michael Phelps has an enormous wingspan, but he also trained 5-6 hours a day. If he dropped that to 3 hours a day, he would lose to someone with a slightly smaller (but still well above average) wingspan who's training 5-6 hours a day.

> What is the biggest challenge for solar energy?

If you factor in all the cycle energy (making, disposing, replacing…), What is the real current total energy balance of solar energy (versus others)?

I'm wondering because solar is very tech intensive. So if you build a 1 billion dollars farm, 10 years later the technology is a lot more efficient. Are you going to replace it all?

To be honest, this is more like a question too: How big of a problem is this , energetically speaking?
My assessment is that she can’t work in an office.

Battery seems bigger problem to me, when comes to solar energy.

Proton was instrumental in my move from Windows to Linux. With over 400 games in my back catalog, I didn't want to lose thousands of dollars not to mention thousands of hours on games which I enjoy.

Thus far, 92% of games have ran flawlessly for me on Fedora (4 failures in the last 50). The main issues have been related to games that have kernel mode drivers for copy protection or other exotic types of anti-cheat. Perhaps most amazing (to me anyway) is the fact that mods and workshop items work perfectly. In most cases, I could pop open a saved game and continue on Linux, custom mods included.

Performance-wise, I haven't noticed a difference but I generally run very modern hardware which works better with the DirectX to Vulcan implementation. I also swapped to an AMD chip/gpu when moving to Linux and I think that removed the headaches that people often have with Nvidia drivers. Overall, it's been fantastic.
Cats aren't really colorblind, they just have reduced color perception compared to humans, but still are sensitive to many hues. In fact that's exactly what his paper in 1943 on cat vision said: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1748-1716....

How fan control is configured depends on the SuperIO chip, so it's different for eg. Fintek SuperIOs than for Winbond/Nuvoton SuperIOs.

On Linux, a supported SuperIO will be exposed as a directory under /sys/class/hwmon. On one of my systems, the SuperIO is a Nuvoton NCT6791, so the relevant driver documentation is https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/hwmon/nct6775

Relevant sysfs files to note are pwm[1-7]_mode to toggle between DC voltage and PWM control, and pwm[1-7]_enable to switch between full speed, pure software speed control, and several Nuvoton-specific automatic speed control modes.

> Of course, through the lens of expected value, these numbers look worse as traditionally there has been a high failure rate to startups.

"worse" here does a lot of heavy lifting here and doesn't begin to convey the magnitude of "worse"

Use YC companies as an example. Acceptance rate around 2%, success rate about 10%. This gives you 0.2% success rate for a typical startup applying to YC.

If you do succeed, unless you bootstrapped, you're going to get diluted. Let's handwave this to keeping 75% of your company (a generous assumption!).

This gives the expected value of $30k, for 2 to 5 years of hard work. Before taxes.
