Is it? I can't see living in Europe without an IBAN for instance -- and the card that comes with one. And that's not something the government is enforcing.

Same in the US, you can't not have a credit card because of the credit score system there. Use of a credit card is mandatory because you need it to financially "exist."
Congrats, now 90+% of all photographs taken outside are completely unshareable online, and the > century old art of street photography is dead.
It is, but some people specifically insist on "he" and "she" and will get offended if you use "they". In one such case, when I asked why "they" is inappropriate since it is by definition inclusive of all genders, the question itself was declared highly offensive and "erasing".
It does for certain things, but when I was guiding it to create a very complex regex, it would totally "forget" or "ignore" random constraints and give the wrong regex repeatedly. It was pretty fun, even if I never got a correct regex. I had to hand craft it. So much for AI making things faster.
A pretty big guess that it wouldn't cost them anything. The process of it all plus the secrets their competition could easily learn must both be quite valuable.
All that hype and teasing for absolutely nothing.
Thanks! Indeed, I agree that the project has an educational aspect and value. For me, it helped me get a better understanding of the neural network layers involved in the transformer model. Also, it was a good playground to practice my low-level optimization techniques. I guess another cool thing was that with the help of the community, we came up with a faster way to evaluate the Encoder (at the cost of some accuracy), which ultimately enabled the WASM and RPi4 examples (see #137 if interested in the discussion).
Synchronising toys to things has always been a decent market, but most executions are incredibly insecure.

You might want to sync the toy to the actions of a video, to make a deeper experience. Or you might want to sync controls across communication mediums. Like having both partners experience each other, whilst calling. Or having one partner expressing a fetish by controlling a device whilst the other tries to go about their day.
A funny thing I've realised is that it's a running gag in many places, and each one thinks it's unique to them :)

I love emacs and don't live Elisp at all. I can use it, if pushed, but don't love it for sure.

Do i prefer JS? Probably not. But to me the draw of emacs is nothing to do with Elisp. It is instead everything to do with customisation, one-editor-many-languages, and the ability to do absolutely everything from a keyboard-based, low-clutter GUI.

Part of it is of course that good people made plugins in Elisp and maybe you'd argue that without it they wouldn't come to be, but I'm not sure.
For Linux devices, you'd tell employees to only install software through their package manager, then have something like unattended-upgrades (installed by default on Debian-based systems) handle automatic security updates.

I also think that radar will be a no brainer and make it better over all (night, fog) but I'm not sure if it has to be a must.

Perhaps in 20years when you have overall very good car AI the non radar version is always behind but we are far away from this market saturation. Probably more than 20 car iterations and more.
I tried to play rock paper scissors against it, but it generated moves for me as well as it, then announced it had won at the end. When I made a move it said "sorry, the game is over".
I don't think the following are world-changing use cases, but I would absolutely pay for ChatGPT right now. I am using it for the following:

- Generate boilerplate code. It won't be exactly what I need, but often I want to get a rough sense of how to use a specific library/tool that I haven't used in a long time. For example, I always forget bash syntax. I can adjust the details myself, but I don't want to spend tens of minutes browsing different sites and searching through code examples.

- Proofread writing for my blog and emails and give suggestions for making it flow better or sound nicer

- Serve as an entrypoint for research. Questions like "Give me 5 bullet point arguments both in favor of and against topic X" usually surfaces something that I hadn't thought of. I can then use these to Google for more specific details and sources.

ChatGPT does a good enough job at these that it would be worth paying a subscription for. The amazing thing is that I would never have considered the above use cases to be covered by a single tool because they seem so disparate. I probably would not pay for a tool that does one of these. But something that does these and possibly more that I haven't thought of? Absolutely.

And yes, these are all things that a human can do, but they can't do it within a second for less than a cent (extrapolating current OpenAI model pricing).
My thoughts are that power plants don't stop completely in blackouts, they disconnect, power down, and idle. The reason they need to disconnect (in chain reactions) is that the load is too high for them to maintain frequency/keep in phase.

Starting back up is complex because loads need to be added to the network in some order they can be powered.

A silly question then: why there are no AA/AAA rechargeable batteries that are Li-Ion/Li-Poly/whatever chemistry is used in smartphone batteries? Seems like a no-brainer to me: use the apparently better, more advanced, more energy-dense chemistry, but in a standard AA/AAA format. Pack whatever control electronics you need for safety too. Not only my remote controls would have half a decade of battery life, an iPhone could be powered off 2 such AAs, instead of 8-10 regular ones like other commenters here calculated.

Why isn't it done? Where's the catch?
In South Africa we are experiencing major shortfalls in our power generation (coal fleet is aging and breaking down more - poor maintenance and two new mega power stations has been mired with corruption during building)

We have a few cycle gas turbines (diesel) and two major hydro schemes which maintains a critical reserve at all times of water, so they just need to open the sluices to jumpstart the system.

Also, our grid is tied to our neighbors so they can help out if need be like France does to the UK during shortfalls.

I really wish I could use helix bindings in vscode. Im currently using both helix and vscode with vim bindings and it isnt exactly optimal.

It reminds me how legitimate comments get more downvotes and flags than constructive replies on HN. It's a really irritating and toxic pattern than makes you think twice before engaging on a conversation if you don't have the popular opinion.

Sometimes you can even see a downvoted comments gain more upvotes as more users discuss and detail each perspective

It means that a lot of users just downvote without considering the issue from a new perspective :
As OP's link explains, YOU are right, and others ppl can't have a legitimate different opinion : you do constructive feedback by striking them, and they're wrong.
What information can be pulled from home network just by being connected?

Why should I care (not addressed by the article or any comments so far)?
Thank you, that seems really interesting, and it touches tantalizingly onto some ideas I've wondered if anyone has formalized.

There's the old joke that

1. Not all numbers are interesting
2. If not all numbers are interesting, then there's a smallest number that's not interesting
3. But that's interesting in itself! Ha! Contradiction!

But it seems to me all you need to resolve that contradiction is to be a bit tough and say that no, it being the smallest boring number isn't interesting. Who cares.

What I would like to know is if there is a formalization of "we don't care about that". Obviously we use the idea sometimes (Karnaugh maps come to mind).
I don't fully understand what's going on behind the scenes, but I tried to use the repo some days ago (guess there's even a new model now) and everything seemed very simple to build to try so thank you for your amazing work.
Preparing for a Russian cyber offensive against Ukraine this winter
We absolutely could.

But we won't as manufacturers want to use batteries in shapes they want. In the case of laptops of bigger this also often ends up with there still being space despite them using a custom size.

We were pretty close to a couple of standards of Li-Ion flat battery in the mid to late 00s, at least in Europe, due to proliferation of Nokia and Sony Ericsson. Nokia especially had some batteries that they used across several models. And the voltage and current being the same, you could also use smaller batteries in some models.

The latter has been useful for the 808 PureView I have. Getting the specific battery that it used is now impossible. But it can take a very common Nokia battery with a slightly lower capacity.
Every time I crack my screen I swear that next time I'll get one of those "rugged" phones. My last phone purchase (Asus Zenfone 8); lasted exactly 2 weeks before I cracked the screen on my bathroom floor.

I think it will depend highly on how the copyright story, settles.

Many of the current big name models have been seen to reproduce their sources, verbatim. For now, it doesn't seem like the story on that one has a definitive answer. There are lots of brushing it off as being rare, or you have to school it to do that, etc. But that it still happens, is the issue.

We'll probably end up with more specific copyright carve-outs, or we'll end up with royalty systems, but its unlikely that this issue keeps getting handwaved for the foreseeable future.
Whenever there is an Asahi thread on HN, I like to ask people who are daily driving it - how is your experience?
I was just thinking about how decentralization is important for building robust systems, but it’s not simply decentralization, also the ability for the nodes to operate isolated from each other.

The grid is “decentralized” but still brittle and at risk of cascading failures. A future where the majority of power is provided by onsite solar + storage is much more robust.

Similarly not robust are things like tech stacks with complex “cold boot” plans or unexpected cascading failure modes, etc.

I don’t know what the right terminology for this subset of decentralization is.
Ok, you're thinking type 1 vs type 2 is multiple choice vs written answers.

I'm thinking type 2 can have multiple choice, but then there's only 1 answer that can be correct.

Type 1 can have multiple choice, but puts multiple correct answers and expects you to pick the one that is most directly covered in the class, marking the other correct answers incorrect. That, to me, is testing information retention without nuanced knowledge.
Wow. Would love to help you build this and pay you for Apache 2.0 release of your work with our grant money - emailing you now :)
The limits of going direct
While you are right, I think it also depends on what it is, like an AI can learn natural language must faster than humans.

So I think it depends on the area on how fast it can do it, BUT humans are much better at recognizing patterns etc. so we definitely can do it with smaller datasets than an AI would need.

I think the biggest problems with AI is how much data they need to learn something.
The generators have safety systems in place when the grid tied frequency deviates too much from 50 or 60HZ - they then "trip" and disconnect themselves from the
grid to prevent damage.

Powering them down to a complete stop is a rather long process taking hours.

One silly technician left a spanner in one turbine after maintenance, and it took about 2 years for a replacement part to be installed.

If you give people a good reason, they'll actually care. "Use YYYY-MM-DD as it allows us to sort by date in the filesystem" is a great reason. On the other hand, bickering about DD-MM-YYYY vs MM-DD-YYYY because "that's how it is in my country" just makes me roll my eyes.
Yes, but the point is that they are now only available on very niche devices.

There was a brief period where common devices had ingress resistance and easily removeable batteries. The most notable being the Samsung Galaxy S5.
> Of course the extraterrestrial knew that and therefore allowed the integration of the lapton chip into the phone <8-)

That's silly. The real reason is that the ITAR prohibits you from being able to get a higher-resolution thermal camera, which is one of several laws implementing a complex, global ban on technologies that would let regular people spot the aliens. You can thank a secret UN subcommittee for that; they've botched negotiations with aliens so badly that our governments are now forced to do the "hiding from people" work for them.
Its enough for me to look at the "r/Wallstreetsilver" guys and think maybe they're onto something

bunch of nutters.
It was kind of smooth. The biggest problem with Svelte was the lack of libraries and semi broken tooling. I am still not sold on this heavy JS/SPA approach (I am a mostly backend dev) and really hoping that HTMX or similar project takes off.
I don't think OP is arguing that social media is leading to the denormalisation of racism; I think OP is noting that, whatever other madness we are dealing with in this day and age, there are some issues in the past that were crazy, abusive, exploitative and damaging, and that they have gotten much, much better over time.
> What exactly is IT doing when a dev requests to install randomtool.exe?

Some basic research on its creator/distributor and history, particularly with regard to security issues and how well/quickly they were addressed. Also perhaps running the software in a constrained environment to see what calling home it tries to do, or does as part of its core function¹, if it is monitoring the clipboard, etc.

> Why is it a developer is incapable of that same thing?

It isn't really a question of capability, it is a question of whether they are convinced⁵ of the necessity and can all be relied upon to be appropriately diligent.

For many all that "contracts", "auditing", and "data protection law" stuff is someone else's problem, not interesting, and thinking about it wastes time & gets in the way of getting the interesting stuff done.

> how I supposed to do my job?

Do you want all that compliance stuff to become part of your job? Is that what you got into development for? Do you want to be held responsible if something is missed? If not then accept that someone else has to do it so that you don't have to, which sometimes means waiting for them to do it properly.

----

[1] we work with banks, we have to be very careful about potential accidental data exfiltration routes because we sometimes handle PII (and, more cynically, because we'd fail an external audit required by some big contracts if we didn't!)², we have a local instance of languagetool if someone needs that sort of thing but people still try to install grammarly³ and done seem bemused that potentially sending everything you edit⁴ is being sent to another country could be a bad thing. And that one is obvious, as it is part if the products core function.

[2] for other companies, their own "trade secrets" could be the concern

[3] nothing against grammarly, that is just a good glaring example of a tool with which we could accidentally breach promises made to clients about where information could reside or be processed. The same concerns, along with a few extras like licensing and stability, are also relevant for dependencies that actually become part of our products.

[4] yes, of course we have proper data access controls in place and all but a few of us have no access to real data if all is well with that, and even then that access is gated and used sparingly, but security-in-depth is a thing...

[5] from your question, you don't sound convinced currently

> Not being in the dataset maybe? There's many artists that hate that you can just write "in the style of" with their name.

Very few artists have an unique style. Some are very recognizable, yes, but plenty others do more or less the same sort of thing.

There's thousands of photographers out there that go for the "razor sharp, high contrast closeup that shows every pore" style (https://photoaspects.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/black-an...) for instance.

With very limited exceptions you could go to a photographer and say "I want a photo that looks like this Vogue cover" and get it done.

Sweden's banks had a joint ATM system[1] since ~2010, I admittedly have no idea about the situation on the countryside, but at least in Stockholm, they're in ample supply seeing that it is extremely rare that someone pays with cash. I once had to get about 15000SEK (~1500€) in cash, and that wasn't a problem at all.

> But to me the draw of emacs is nothing to do with Elisp. It is instead everything to do with customisation

I keep hearing this argument but it is contradictory: the reason why Emacs is so customizable it is because it is written in a Lisp, a very versatile metaprogramming language.

You simply cannot have the flexibility of Emacs in anything less malleable than a Lisp. You'd have a regular editor with plugins.

I know many will want to prove me wrong, but where is the non-Lisp Emacs killer yet? VSCode is a great editor, but it's nowhere as flexible.
It was 99.97% fake by https://huggingface.co/openai-detector - I've been flagging and downvoting any unmarked GPT replies. Note that the detector was designed for GPT2: however it seems to be correct if it strongly detects generated GPT3 fake texts, however it sometimes incorrectly gives very high "real" scores for GPT3 generated text.
So discouraging to hear this. My deepest sympathies.

Just a heads up, as far as I know that’s more of a porting/learning tool than a production tool.

I remember us looking deeply into this and decided to hand write the SSE intrinsics. They usually map 1:1 but we had some unexpected differences in algorithm output between the x86 binary and the ARM binary when compiled with this.

But this was also back in 2019 or so, maybe it’s better now!

> Probably the reason for the subpar FLIR resolution on this phone as well.

Nope. You are confusing proper Far-Infrared thermal cameras (which can "see" radiated heat in the e.g. -10..60c range, and tell you that the top left corner of that window is poorly insulated), and regular CMOS cameras lacking an IR filter, which just see up to a few hundred nanometers beyond far-red (up to 1000 I'd guess?), and some clothes would be transparent at those wavelengths if illuminated by the right source (the Sun being one). You can easily buy filter-less IR cameras for scientific or astronomical purposes, or if you want to perv I guess, they're readily available. Plop ~20 bucks on a Pi NOIR camera for example, for the Raspberry Pi.

(Actually every CMOS sensor sees in that band - it's reasonably easy to modify many cameras and remove the IR filter if that's what you want)

An actual thermal camera is way more expensive and has a far lower resolution unless you want to spend more than on a Tesla. Not to mention, it's subject to ITAR export controls if you're in the US.
Kinda like The Economist in that regard :)

> Now the user drags the two windows so that they overlap. What happens? You’ve created yourself a logical impossibility. One of those two windows must be above the other, contradicting the imaginary “super-topmost” feature.

That's pretty easy. We create a super-topmost class of windows. Windows in that class are always over regular windows. Within that class, the UI actions determine which one is on top in the usual way: like whichever one the user clicks on. If the user doesn't want that, the user can move them so they don't overlap.
