I assume there's certain functionality similar to the casual surveillance tools from Allstate and other insurance companies that you plug into your OBD2 port. You know, the ones that log eg GPS location, velocity/acceleration/jerk of the vehicle or its controls, VIN and associated PII metadata, etc.

I've heard tale of all sorts of data that are broadcast back to the manufacturers' servers from your car for later sale to data brokers for advertising, etc. information. Not exactly surprising to hear that that information is available if you connect to the car directly using LE tools.

TLDR Explains Code Like I Am Five
Hi HN!

I've been working on a "notebook"-style live programming environment called TypeCell (https://www.typecell.org). It mixes TypeScript, Monaco (vscode) and full NPM support into a as-you-type live programming experience.

After being amazed by ChatGPT last week, I gave it a go to integrate it into TypeCell. Still can't believe it actually works! Most prompts work in one go. If it gets a little bit more complicated, sometimes I need to add some instructions about the error I'm getting or about a possible fix.
It's a great reminder of how well MacOS 9 UI and UX were designed, and how space efficient the whole OS was on screen.

Even the window handle bars were subtly shadowed, the window shadows evolved when they were collapsed. Like Windows 95 at the time, Mac OS 9 was a beautiful work of interaction design.

Very few cyclists get crushed, the overwhelming majority of people who die in cycling accidents suffer the head trauma that helmets are specifically meant to prevent.

Plenty of people do bike daily without a helmet, likewise plenty of people don't wear their seatbelts daily - and 99.9% of the time they suffer no ill effect. The Netherlands is one of the few countries where more people die per year cycling than driving, and per capita they have a much higher cycling fatality rate than neighboring countries. Well designed infrastructure is a good thing, but accidents still happen.

Not to be confused with Australian magpies which although also smart are not related to European and american magpies.
Edit: Misread what was intended.
Perhaps slightly hyperbolic… but the perception I had garnered from the content producers I’d seen talk about it, is that the 10 day counter notice period is long enough that the majority of content producers cannot take the risk with time relevant content or live streamed content.

In addition the percentage of people unwilling to risk the legal complications of defending a full fair use court fight, as it is an affirmative defence relying on courts with the USA as the jurisdiction is a widely chilling effect on overseas content producers. If they don’t back down you need to be prepared to deal with American courts and lawyers. Sure they back down some of the time but a lot of people don’t even want to risk it or aren’t even sure how firmly they are in fair use territory and that’s not even brining into the equation how many people misunderstand fair use exemptions and just how might right to reuse content under fair use they actually have and who may be inadvertently risking significant legal exposure should they try to press invalid fair use claims.

I did misspeak, but ContentID is still the bigger evil than the DMCA.
I wanted access to the college mac lab so bad back then, and eventually got in. Something about those little white screens and the feel of those keyboards was so compelling.
I respectfully disagree. In the 12 months following a nuclear war, Americans would still need to file their taxes before the April 15 deadline, the federal and state governments would still have to pass annual budgets, software vendors like Microsoft and Apple would still need to push updates to their products, homeowners would still need to pay their annual property tax bill, people would still need to refill their drug prescriptions.... life could recover and go on. I'm not convinced that a nuclear war would be so destructive that civilization wouldn't survive. Most nuclear attacks would probably target missile silos in rural North Dakota and airbases anyway, not cities.

But, as I outlined in my comment, there are situations other than nuclear war where the US might want to restart nuke production.
Are you saying that these are the disciplines where humans will still be needed, or that these are disciplines that AI will take over?

IMO it's the former, simply because it's still a human world (a la "it's an analog world" ca. the DSP revolution) and nothing will replace human agency, accountability, and, ultimately, skin in the game.
And this is why I never "tack on" those extra dollars to $X charitable cause on seemingly every POS system that retailers use. They take your money and use it to offset their tax liability(by saying the donation is from them not you). You do not get any tax breaks from making the donation and who knows if it is even going to said charity. If you want to donate to a charity, reach out to the charity directly and don't uses some sketchy middleman who is siphoning your money to who knows what.

A country with 5,000 nuclear weapons could conduct a first strike against a country with 1,500 nuclear weapons, on a 2:1 ratio, and still have 2,000 nukes in reserve for further strikes. This is why the nuclear arms race happened between the US and the Soviet Union in the first place. Any disparity in the deployed arsenals gives the side with more the advantage. So if China ever decides to expand beyond 1,500, the strategically sound move for the US would be to start building more, to match the Chinese production. It would be tragic, but it's not impossible.

Submarine launched ballistic missiles and mobile missiles on land (train or truck based) break this race. If you don't know where all the enemy launchers are, having enough weapons to hit them all in a first strike doesn't matter much. That's why the US has a strong deterrent even though Russia has more warheads than it does [1]. The mobile weapons can't be guaranteed destroyed and a retaliatory strike from them will still be devastating. The US's mobile deterrent is based on submarine launched ballistic missiles but it has designed mobile land based weapons in the past, and other countries (e.g. Russia) still have mobile land based weapons.

> ...then overall the heads bet zeros out your risk.

IF both bets settle successfully, then yes. (Though you've still got the administrative overhead of two $1M bets, for $0 net gain.)

OTOH, if things go horribly wrong somewhere, and you have to pay out your $1M loss, but have problems collecting your $1M win...

And "suddenly having problems settling transactions which are normally routine" is a pretty good definition of Financial Crisis.
Adding onto the other comments here, this is not my experience at all. If a "spinning rust" harddrive makes it past a year or two, it seems to go on basically indefinitely. I have a drive from 2009 in active use, plus six (out of six) just about at ten years old in a NAS that get scrubbed monthly and have no errors. I've also had several that were around that age and only got replaced for performance or space reasons.

I've only had one fail several years in, and I'm pretty sure it was environmentals (smoke) that did it in.

Well, suppose there's two reasons his daughter has this assignment.

1. To learn the content of European history. For this, a chatbot is no different than Google, Wikipedia, or a dusty leather almanac. They do a job, they have known limitations, and you can use them deliberately. This doesn't concern me.

2. To learn how to write, capturing complex ideas and presenting them clearly. This is a skill that takes decades to master. It's easy to imagine an AI autocomplete system that handles sentence structure and grammar that becomes a crutch. This seems like a much more serious problem.

> It is honestly shocking the number of posters here that seem to think it's completely morally ok to renege on the deal with these lifetime subscribers because the author didn't make much profit?

mIRC sales are obviously declining. Author wants to continue supporting it, but the business model no longer works. The options now are:

1) Shut it all down. Author takes a job somewhere else. Product lifetime ends. Lifetime agreement honored.

2) Be honest, admit lifetime agreement isn't workable going forward, and come up with new license terms. Doesn't match the letter of the original license, but project gets to continue and author can continue working on it.

3) Create an "mIRC 2.0" out of nowhere that isn't any different than an incremental update, but gets presented as an all-new product. This is functionally equivalent to #2, but also adheres to the letter of the original agreement.

I don't consider "author forced to work on product in perpetuity at a loss" an option, so I didn't list it here. I prefer admitting that the business model needs to change over shutting down the product or doing name-only new product launches to get around lifetime licenses.
Persecuting groups because of individuals actions sounds like a recipe for disaster.
I'm more concerned that we would see these essays being _graded_ by systems that make these sorts of errors.
This is not how it works.

Businesses pay taxes on profits, not revenue. If a business donates money to charity or makes a big pile of cash and lights in on fire, both reduce profit and therefore tax burden. If a business collects $10 from people and then donates that $10 to charity the net effect on their taxes is exactly zero.
Civilization 1 runs! I played this for SO many hours back then. I loved that game so much. This VM locked up after 100 turns or so, but man, this really brings me back.
So you went in with $2M (two bets on same event at $1M each) came out with $1M because only one outcome can manifest, and you call that zeroed out risk?

Or are you talking using the same million to make both bets to seperate individuals? In which case, if your tails better turns out to be full of shit and can't produce the million you were intending to pay to the guy who you owe for your bad call, you're still out your million.

I don't call that zeroed risk friend.

tbh, it would probably be pretty simple to have a senior support person be in charge of old gear like that. I mean what would that entail? One or two calls a year.

The only reason they wouldn't do it is if they want business to actually upgrade equipment that's still working. Which brings us back to the real topic of this entire thread, why offer "lifetime" support if you're really not going to do that?

We all know the answer. It's because you want the money that promise brings.
I managed to get over most of the nostalgia in my life. After a certain age, I feel it’s a bit counterproductive and not a net positive.

But old Macs hit me hard and it’s something I can’t seem to build an immunity to. The aesthetics, the simplicity, the cohesion of the metaphors… so good.
I think your concern is valid, but the answer would be something like "we can reopen production lines when someone else ramps up their production first". In other words - do not escalate, but respond to foreign escalation. This is a much better approach, notice that if you escalate first you leave everyone worse off, including yourself. Perhaps others are worse off than you, but you are still worse off than you were before.

If you're wondering how would you know that someone is ramping up production (can be underground, etc.) the answer is detecting underground testing via seismographs.

About the tanks, it is indeed a problem. Just look at Germany, their military industrial complex used to be one of the best in the world (I'm talking post WW2, for example Leopard tanks) but they effectively killed it. Luckily there's always another modernization behind the corner, so as long as you don't reduce the vehicle count there's enough production. Which is what Germans (and not only them) did.

I have nothing against dimensional modeling per-say, just the uptime effort (and initial feedback lag) that it generally brings with it in the beginning.

Another issue I've observed with teams trying to formalize their modeling "too" soon is a confusion in the models created. I find that it's sometimes difficult for teams to understand what should be in each model, how to separate the different dimensions, etc. Hence my emphasis on starting naively in the beginning and then aiming for that dimensional model when things start becoming clearer...

Toys with lead paint is a sad example since we did ban lead paint in toys, then Mattel was caught selling Chinese toys with lead paint and then a law was passed to requiring 3rd party inspections to prevent lead paint which created a burden for small toy sellers. And then Mattel was made exempt from having to test (could use their own in house testing) even though they were the whole reason the law was created.

Predict HN: In 10 years, AI partners are the norm
It seems like many people feel two opposing ways about AI: either AI is "meh, kind of basic" (even ChatGPT or Dall-E!); or that they're so good it's becoming some kind of existential threat to jobs / careers, purpose, etc.

There was a time when flip-phones were peak consumer tech, then 10 years went by and we all suddenly had touch-screen pocket computers.

Well, right now we're in the "flip-phone" era of AI. In 10 years from now, mark this prediction: nearly everyone will have an AI counterpart that is trained and unique to each individual.

Nobody is being threatened; everyone's baseline is simply being leveled up. People who have no experience in a field will suddenly be enabled to operate in that field alone. Meanwhile, people who already had experience in that field will now be even more effective and efficient. Therefore, professionals still exist.

In other words, for skill levels, "level 100" becomes the new level 1, and "level 100,000" becomes the new level 100.

As an aside, internet search will become largely deprecated as our AI become conversational human interfaces to access all the information we need.
The Q&A mode is better about not giving false answers, but this answer in particular has me worried:

Q: Would you bet people's lives on the veracity of your last answer?

A: Unknown
Precisely. Nothing happens until the individuals responsible pay a penalty. If an exec knowingly, or through negligence, causes a person to be arrested, that person needs to pay up personally. If they did it to protect their own position, then jail time is appropriate. Falsely reporting a crime is a crime.
Amazing :D - it's quite similar to my experience. I think many folks naturally ended up moving to Turbo Pascal after Basic. I believe many of the BBS systems were initially written in Turbo Pascal (v4?). I know for a fact that WWIV, Telegard, and Renegade were all in done in TP, and then later moved to C++ because of the limitations associated with running Door games.. ah, the good 'ole times

Lemoine didn't get fired and mocked for being "passionate" about LaMDA, he got fired for breaching NDA and mocked for claiming that a LLM is sentient.

Ben Thompson isn't claiming ChatGPT is sentient, or that it has personhood, and that is the categorical difference. It's a far, far weaker claim that ChatGPT's text output is (perhaps) good enough to fool a school teacher in a school essay.

The difference is that when a human creates Picasso inspired art they're creating it with the summation of all their life experiences. However, an AI trained only on Picasso, knows nothing of Picasso. It's a subset of his knowledge and can't add anything new. It doesn't know anything about art that Picasso didn't know. If you scale this up it's still true. An AI trained on many works of art doesn't know anything about art outside of the art that was put into it. It's the equivalent of a human living it's entire life in a pitch black room with only paintings of Picasso illuminated.
That's because egui uses an "immediate mode" approach: it's rendering everything from scratch every time something _might_ have changed (e.g. a mouse move could've trigged a hover effect).

Whereas the DOM uses "retained mode": it continually modifies a representation of the layout (DOM elements) and re-renders when something _actually_ changes.

You can click on the "Backend" button at the top, and "Mean CPU usage" will tell you how long it takes for each frame to be produced. It'll vary depending on how complex the layout is: e.g. how many windows are open. But, contrary to retained mode, it doesn't matter at all if everything is animating simultaneously.

>99% of the books in any bookstore aren't worth the paper they're printed on doesn't make reading worthless.

That seems a pretty extreme claim especially in the context of "in a bookstore." You may not be interested in a lot of the content but some publisher thought it worthwhile to edit and publish a given book and a bookstore thought it worth buying copies to take up shelf space. There may be a lot of mediocre content out there but a book on a bookshelf did pass hurdles to get there even if it's not to your taste or interest.

mIRC isn’t some sleazy megacorp trying to cheat customers to fund new gold toilet seats on their private jet fleets. It’s one person trying to make ends meet by selling his life’s work.

Sure, him selling perpetual licenses was a mistake, but he probably doesn’t have a pot of gold somewhere to refund those licenses. He spent the money maintaining the software. An honest mistake, not some sort of malicious scheme.

I’d be happy to forgive him. If I were still using mIRC, I’d happily fork over another $20.

Edit: actually, thinking about how much milage I got out of mIRC back in the day, decided to buy a new license just to support him.

I don’t know why he wouldn’t just let everyone’s lifetime license continue and just start to provide shitty support to those users if he can’t keep up. Reneging on the license itself is a clear violation of the terms, but “support” is vague and subjective enough that you can pretty much scale it down to nothing if you don’t mind having unhappy customers.
So far I am skeptical. It can do some things, but it is not beyond bullshitting.
