>But Amazon pivoted from a discount retailer to a premium retailer of convenience.

While it's true that they don't always have the best prices on everything, that's pretty much the exact opposite of my main gripe with Amazon. They pivoted into being a shitty bazaar.
So are you suggesting that problem would be better or worse without quality control and labelling?

The TL;DR of that great video goes against Betteridge's Law: yes it makes sense ("no fatal flaw found"), with the known information at the time Jason made the video. The charging infrastructure is likely not trivial, though; in the comments it was pointed out the infrastructure likely makes heavy use of batteries to avoid stressing out local substations and avoid abusing grid peaking.
The people using it to make money don't want it to be easily spotted, tag or metadata marking it will never happen unless required by law
Just in fuel savings over the life of a truck that pays for those whole truck. Not the difference, the entire cost of the truck. Margins in trucking are too tight to ignore that much money.

Getting charging in place is critical, but nobody in trucking can afford to ignore that.

One whould think paper money still is used by a good 50% of the worlds poorest, but they can't hold a candle to the amount hedge funds, banks and simply normal people from western countries move around compared to them.
I don’t exactly understand your question, but I’m assuming you mean something like, “What value is this person actually creating?”

I can think of two direct use cases where I would find it helpful:

- Creating a “précis” (concept from Neuromancer) video or article on a particular topic. For example, let’s say I want to learn about pre-20th century Indonesian art. Sure, I could Google and read some articles, but it would be vastly more enjoyable and efficient to just get a 5-minute video auto-generated on the topic.

- For creating content that I want to read but don’t necessarily have the time to write. I’d love to create a website that catalogs subcultures, for example, but I just don’t have the time to do the research and writing myself.

Both of these are dependent on the generated content being accurate, of course, but that seems like a temporary problem, not a flaw in the system itself.

Not very useful when it is -10C (or colder) outside.

Current building science best practice can be summed up in the saying "Build tight and ventilate right.".

* https://www.energy.gov/indianenergy/articles/build-tight-ven...

* https://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy03osti/26458.pdf

Building tight prevents conditioned (heated in winter, cooled in summer) inside air from escaping, causing you to lose/waste money. It also prevents bad outside air (bugs, pollen, dust, car pollution, too humid/dry/cold/hot) from coming in.

Ventilating right means taking stale air from bathrooms (humidity) and kitchens (cooking VOCs) and exhausting it, and at the same time bringing in fresh air from outside on your terms: through filters and tempered to match inside conditions. This is usually done with HRV/ERVs.

Harder to do with older homes that need to be renovated, but now part of the building code for new builds in many areas (ASHRAE 62 defines ventilation volume/rate requirements).
Thanks for sharing this, hopefully after the expansion finishes (and maybe some dedicated servers appear in the US), Hetzner could offer object storage natively!

CDBC is way beyond that, it allows things like if someone has taken too many flights that year, bought too much sugar or alcohol that month you could make the offending purchases or all their purchases more expensive to penalize them.

I live in a terraced house. I own the land on which it is built, I have a tiny garden to the front and a less tiny garden to the rear. No one charges me a maintenance fee. I am free to shop around for energy providers or even change how energy is provided to my house completely by installing solar panels etc. I have free use of my loft, to the extent I could create further living space there if desired. Etc.

None of the above would be true if I owned an apartment.
Disabling or deleting, the end result is identical.
> Who has the financial incentive to build charging stations? Both out and back and point to point operators will build charging infrastructure at their own hubs/terminals and use them for themselves.

Don't forget that Tesla will probably end up building the most number of chargers over time. Charging is its own business with its own margins (e.g. Supercharger network). In other words, it's a source of net income for Tesla so as they build more trucks, they'll build more chargers as they've done to date with passenger cars and Superchargers.
> it causes CO2 to increase because there isn’t anymore large holes to bring fresh air in

Obviously you need the double-entry exchanger: Air comes in at 5°C and is gradually heated at 18°C by the air exiting, which starts at 20° and is cooled down to 7°C. No external energy required, it’s a classic of neutral-passive buildings.
It's only really sensible for long distance transportation.

I'm making assumptions here. But lets' say loading the trucks and the wait until the train leaves takes 90 minutes. Unloading them at destination takes another 30 minutes (again, I don't know the real figures, but this feels somewhat realistic).

So, there will be a certain not insignificant amount of time being lost before the train moves. Time, which is valuable in the transportation business.

Another reason may be that it's really geared for specific topological environments.

There are few routes through the alps and they universally require tunnels (there are mountain pass routes, but those are closed in winter and partially inaccessible for trucks). Such a situation invites such logistical solutions.

Add to this that Switzerland is one of the main transit countries through the alps and that - with very few exceptions - trucks are not permitted to drive at night (after 10pm) or on Sundays. So, loading your truck onto a train and blitz from Freiburg (Germany) straight to Genoa by train may make a lot of sense.

The situation is not quite as ideal as described here. While it's definitely a goal to move transit onto train infrastructure, especially on the Italian side, still leaves much to be desired.
FSD is different. The last 0.01% kills children.

The last x% to make this bot a full fledged programmer does not matter. The clients will accept bugs that would be fatal in FSD. We will lose our jobs at an astonnishing rate in some kinds of companies in the coming years. I guess agile sweatshops will be first but I have no clue how far it will go.

Even if you happen to be safe there will be a downwards pressure on wages. Algorithm cranking might be largely obsolete and our main focus might be skeleton writing. It removes a big obstacle for becoming a programmer. The "good at math in school" requirement.
>at that point surely the proper green option would be to have a little wood-stove in each house which would easily be offset by the natural bio-sequestering in large surrounding woods!!??

Even if you lived on a plot of forest that provided enough timber sustainably satisfy your energy needs (obviously everybody can't but why not let those who can/want to do so?) you'd still have every idiot coming out of the woodwork to complain about local air quality.

It's easier just fractionally poison some watersheds half a world away building batteries and then charge up those batteries with grid electricity of mixed provenance giving you a veneer of plausible deniability than deal with the idiots next door who have a small but easy to quantify gripe.

> Listing the "bad words" ahead of time (or even at all) is self-evidently not workable because people will just use different works to abuse/harass/bully people while evading the banned words list.

Tough: you have to stay ahead of the bullies if you want to get money for an online service. It's not in any way acceptable to ban people without telling them specifically what you are accusing them of, so that they can challenge you if you are in fact wrong. The fact that it makes the job harder is not in any way an excuse.

Now, if you were to return their money (or at least part of it based on how much time they actually played or something), then yes, you would have an argument that you have a right to unilaterally rescind the contract. But you can't keep the money and say "you know what you said".

AI training on AI-generated images works like a very complicated Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF), only the best images have a chance to be relevant enough to be noticed by a scraper, after being selected by the user who used the AI, and they have probably been shared several times by random people.
Also, a lot of AI-generated content doesn't look like trash to me, I've seen a lot of good images, the fact that AIs can generate trash doesn't seem to be a problem to me, I can also generate junk and share it on the net if I want.

Let’s just call that a nice side benefit.
No, because as good as it is at boilerplate, the domain specific stuff eventually becomes extremely important.

And without coding skills, that boilerplate will break or fail to get stitched together, too.

I absolutely see it making some parts of the development process vastly more efficient though.
I run an Aranet4, it's set to alert if the co2 goes over 900ppm which is where I notice a dip in cognition or at least wakefulness.

I use its API to connect to it once a day and download the last 24hrs of logs (it stores 14 days worth on the device).

It's expensive - but it's really the best there is IMO.

I try to open a window on either side of the house when the co2 gets over about 750~

All right, let's suppose for a minute that self-interest is literally the only thing to be considered.

Your personal risk preferences impact me in a variety of ways:

* my cost of living goes up, because damage control is much more expensive than prevention; someone has to pay for it, and dead people can't.

* my personal risk goes up, because resources I might need such as emergency doctors' time are occupied dealing with the consequences of your decisions instead.

* my quality of life goes down, e.g. I have to spend more time waiting in traffic jams while the bodies are scraped off the roads.

If you take your risks in a space I am forced to share with you, whether physical, societal or economical, your choices affect me.
* HRV: heat recovery ventilator (temperature only)

* ERV: energy† recover ventilator (temp+humidity)

† Actually "enthalpy", but few understand that concept, so for marketing reasons "energy" is used.

That's only the first step in the degradation. In a worse case scenario, where AI-generated crap is not contained, imagine this: young and still immature humans "learning" their styles of writing, information, and social expectations from content generated by AI that itself trained on AI-generated content─and then more AI trains on content generated by these humans that were trained on AI-generated content. And on, and on, and on...
I‘m baffled that you in all seriousness think that it‘s a good idea to live like that. It‘s less resource consumption, ok (for now at least). What about all the downsides to humans? Constant noise. Being exposed to people all the time. Pollution (by that I mean trash on the streets)? What about the pandemic? People had serious mental health issues during that time, that lived in places like you describe, because their appartements were tiny and they weren‘t allowed to go out.

I don‘t know man, to me you describe a real dystopian future. Just because it‘s a solution, doesn‘t mean it‘s the best/right solution.

> But, in all sincerity, do you really think that the readers of HN would positively discuss a "Bill of Bytes"?

I think there will definitely be an interesting discussion. But that's only the tip of the iceberg, and the more important discussion is to be had with a larger cross-section of society -- like in those classes and books.

I believe it is important for us (technologists, power users, etc) to do the ground work and prepare a forward-looking framework for when the time is ripe (just like remote work/interaction technology languished for years before Covid suddenly drove up adoption).

It is a topic I care about deeply (and have been toying with the idea of a curriculum to "compute better"). I would love to engage further on this (offline) if you're interested.

Thanks for the pointers; I'll definitely look up the books :-)
Ive subjected the thing to a professionally used IQ test and technically it scored very high on what I could test it at, however one way it lost points was claiming milk was transparent
I have several Airthings Wave connected devices, and I also purchased and installed a Panasonic ERV[0], which I have hooked into my HVAC system. Opening windows several times throughout the day was how I used to control the Co2, but in the winter and summer it became a huge hassle with the temp/humidity changes in the house, but with the ERV running 24/7 I will see an empty room drop to 400 ppm fairly quickly after people leave it (Airthings has an app). Generally rooms with people in them hover around 600-800 ppm with the ERV running. The ventilator will keep the humidity/temp levels pretty consistent because it has this cross capillary core that it runs the air through, but I do need a good few humidifiers running in the winter. The ERV also has the benefit of allowing you to control the air pressure in the house, which is useful for radon, as I was unable to get a good radon pump installed without destroying my downstairs (I live in a raised ranch where the "basement" is the first floor). With the positive pressure in my house + constant ventilation I never see the radon levels generally go above .5.

It sounds like you're complaining about the interview system than a "dangerous trend".

If you are that qualified, you should be a tech lead, manager, CTO, VP Engineering, etc.? You should tell your team how to look for qualified workers.
I do the opposite and buy directly from AliExpress if need some low quality low cost stuff. Good examples: cheap SATA to USB enclosures and self adhesive “leather” for keyboard repair. Or cheap LED lamps for occasional use or generic bicycle parts. All these things were 2-6x more expensive on Amazon.

No. Software does not scale linearly.

I.e. 10 LOC -> 100 LOC -> 1000 LOC -> 10K LOC -> 100K LOC.

I failed to see AI moving behind 1000 LOC. I.e. 10*100LOC << 1000LOC.

Also, the AI is statistical, it does not have any notion of the real world. I.e. he might know how to write a function, but it does not know why you need the function.
The only way forward is for crypto to solve a problem that isn't scamming and creating ponzis in an unregulated space.

Anything short of that is just random "influencers" saying "{insert crypto name} will be worth ${insert amount} in {insert time}".

An example is Garry Tan saying "ETH will be worth $10,000 soon": https://twitter.com/garrytan/status/1402648829732614146?lang...

Since crypto does not have a use case other than creating scams and ponzis, there aren't any fundamentals to judge its value on like you can with equities.
