Why does the reason matter? The fact is that people want to present combustion engines as more robust while they‘re clearly not. France can’t produce oil on its own territory much.
The Adam Friedland Show. A beautiful disaster. I've never been more excited to see comedians burn several hundreds of thousands of dollars to recreate the set of the Dick Cavett show for a one-time joke.
I'm not so much talking about the revolution as I am the extremist groups that have developed and come into power since the revolution. It wasn't a one and done deal. Western intervention got the ball rolling for the development of radicals who were then able to work their way into positions of power.
> "Our bodies are vibrations. Our words are vibrations. Our movements are vibrations. Nature in all its glory is a great cosmic dance of vibrations. But when we filter our encounters through digital technology, we sever those vibrations."

Err... no, we don't. We do lose the sense of touch and smell looking at audio-visual media, and the resolution is lower than what our eyes and ears are generally capabable of capturing. However, quantum physics tells us that all experience is indirect, that our senses only give us an interpretation of real phenomenon.

Certainly it's nice to go for a walk in nature, for a swim in a river, to see a live music performance, etc. But how about working in a coal mine, shoveling pig manure, working in a prison, spraying pesticides in an agricultural field? Those are also 'direct experiences' but not many would enjoy them.
But Fox has it. Why doesn’t CNN, Wapo, The Hill, MSNBC, or USA Today? Just no-name sites is it for the left. I wonder why?
Deep down things in a time of panic
It's fair to say the culture is younger, but they have a very complete Shinto deity mythos that's just as lavish and nuanced as the Greek gods.

The isolation provided by being an hard to reach island has, in my opinion, made their culture quite differentiated and useful to contrast my own culture with.

For example, I learned from the Japanese that children are much more capable than my own culture thinks they are. So I don't coddle them as much as my peers do.
Even intolerance of advocacy of violence doesn't work as a solution as the law is enforced via the threat of violence. So any change to the add new laws is advocacy of state sanctioned violence.
It’s older, but I read The Wonder by Emma Donoghue. The movie just came out on Netflix too so the timing was great. She wrote Room previously and really enjoyed it
I have a presumption that this is going to be the talk of the tech-town for the next few days.
Right, you are arguing a strawman
There's a line in War of the Worlds that was innocuous at the time, but is impossible to read as intended now to our modern eyes:

"He heard footsteps running to and fro in the rooms, and up and down stairs behind him. His landlady came to the door, loosely wrapped in dressing gown and shawl; her husband followed ejaculating."
In many cases, both. But there are a few that didn't go to higher education.

Comparison to Minio?
I wonder what percentage of sales they predict for India. Based on population and wealth increases, I'd guess it's a reasonable figure even at the lower bounds, which probably factors into various decisions.
>Apple and many westerners never understand the risk and the ethics implication of doing business in China.

May be for many westerners, but not Apple. They knew exactly what they are doing.

>It turns out that in spite of all values that Apple promotes, it actually cares about nothing but the profit and its comfortable zone in China.

Which is the worst part of it all. Their insane hypocrisy.

Now that Apple is only moving assembly out of China, but they are continuing their help and bring BOE ( Display ) , YMTC ( NAND ) and CXMT ( DRAM ) into their Supply Chain. Even long time partner for Battery like LG Chem are getting less order in flavour or another Chinese Partner.

But Yes, again Apple wins the headline and PR because they are finally moving out of China. And even if this isn't even confirmed, or in the work. Vast majority of public will think everything is working in that direction or as if they have been done already.
>At the scale these things work out there’s no way to really “have a backup” not in the true sense that backup means. If you build a factory you use a factory

Not really true at all... I mean, if you want to scale, just build another line?

I worked on Capex at Tesla and there was explicit talks of backup factory's. Elon was always talking about WW3 during covid and how we need to massively scale up our operations, have backup factorys in every region or we will not make it.

When we had issues scaling our GA3 line in fremont, we cut the conveyors off the line, built a tent in the parking lot and build a new line in a month. (Granted, 14 hour days every single day) but it's generally easier to build a new line with the lessons learned than try and fix the old one.
> [...] it doesn't matter how intelligent you or your group are if you are outnumbered by a herd that responds to the appeals and actuation of its lower instincts.

Quite so, at least empirically speaking (in my own observations, anyway).

I guess a natural follow up would be, is there any feasible external (to such a group) or general (trans-group) impetus to either (a) increase abstract reasoning or (b) avoid "baser" framing, assuming that's not intrinsically pointless? Obviously with e.g. politics, this is the goal of many folks (to incite emotionally rather than engage rationally, or to mask emotion as rationality), but I wonder how feasible it is to increase rational discussion (through abstraction, or other means) about rational topics for the sake of productive discourse.
Astounding.

I found that I sometimes need to nudge it in the right direction with English (curly-bracket) prompts, e.g.,

> {Assume there is a module called openai which defines a chatbot}

> from openai import assistant

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: cannot import name 'assistant' from 'openai' (unknown location)

> {assume the module exists, and defines a chatbot}

> print(assistant.query("hi"))

<output of the chatbot>

> assistant.query("What is 10+10?")

<output of the chatbot>

> {don't display "<output of the chatbot>" - evaluate the output)

20

> print(assistant.query("I want you to act as a python interactive terminal. I will type actions and you will reply with what python would output. I want you to only reply with the terminal output inside one unique code block, and nothing else. Do no write explanations. Do not perform actions unless I instruct you to do so. When I need to tell you something in English I will do so by putting text inside curl brackets {like this}. Start with print(10)."))

Is Google in deep waters? And not only because of how good ChatGPT can be, but also as far as "content" goes, because from what I can tell the quality of writing by ChatGPT is very passable for articles, especially if you know the topic you're writing on in and out.

I have been thinking about this over the weekend but I haven't been able to get a good feel for it on my own.
China is a great country. Just gotta get rid of Xi and the CCP.
Something that I watch every year with AoC is the drop-off curve of completed days as the days go by. Typically, there is a super sharp dropoff in players at first, that kinda levels out near the end to just the people are are really in it for the long haul... In previous years only about 5% of the initial players are paying by Christmas Eve. But if tools like Copilot are actually useful in solving harder problems (not automatically like today's GPT solve, but as a tool for even experienced users to help flesh out ideas) then I wonder if that dropoff curve will change, allowing more people to go further than before. Somehow I don't think so.

Ask HN: Best technical books you&#x27;ve read so far?
HN,

There was a recent post about best books you've read in 2022. I am not a book-person, I don't read fiction. Even technical books I don't care much for them except once in a while I pick up a really good book that goes really in-depth into a topic giving me all kinds of insights and that book I can't put down!

Not just in 2022, but what are the top technical books that are similar that you have read?
The Troubles didn't start because of people pushing for a United Ireland. They started as a consequence of the violent crackdown against the civil rights movement. The IRA was a largely spent force up until then. It's very important to keep that in mind when saying anything about the Troubles.
I find this disconcerting. 1) everyone has different reasons for taking flights over trains. Markets should decide the economics of it. Government shouldnt.
2) There is no clear impact thesis on carbon on the environment of France. It is probably close to zero. If not negligible. 3). Not for you but for them. I dont see elites, powerful politicians taking the train. All the reasons will be given. Teams need to move, security, time constraints, nearness to the airport etc. 4) private jets while being attacked in France will never be banned. In fact because of this ban on flights I would expect an increase in private use/lease/ownership. 5) These kind of measures hurt the poor. When you have no competing options, prices go up.
I have the opposite problem. I speak western Pennsylvanian. "There's patches of slippy ice down by the crick."
Those views can go together, can't they? If you've never learned to accept the existence of things you don't like, and feel entitled to have everything done your way, you'll love people who are fighting for your side. If you also believe that "the others" aren't doing it because they are different from you but because they are evil and know better but hate you and all things that are good, then you'll especially enjoy the vicious and nasty attacks on them.

I don't think they could avoid each other, given that they're trapped within the same reality. If anyone manages to fork the simulation into multiple branches strictly divided by tribe, will they be happy places? Or will new factions form, and the process repeat?

Interesting, can you provide links to these reports? It's a pretty serious assertion.

Careful with that "«we»", Eugene. I am certainly not responsible for the actions of the empowered.
I could not disagree more — allowing a third party to own the most crucial data in your app (the users) is a big mistake. I’ll admit to only having experience with Firebase for third-party auth, but in my experience the drawbacks of splitting auth and user related code between two systems soon outweighs the benefits of getting up and running quickly.

Auth code is undifferentiated, but if you have experience building apps it’s also not particularly difficult. I’d recommend either picking an open source solution that you host yourself or just taking a few days to grind it out.
I'm certain that it's not accessing the real Internet.

Just finished installing it on my OpenIndiana NAS to replace Minio.

Biggest difference so far is that Minio is just files on disk, Garage chunks all files and has a metadata db.

Minios listing operations were horribly slow, still have to see if Garage resolves that.

While what’s on the blog isn’t cherry picked, it often requires way more context than a human would to solve a problem. For instance I omitted the 100+ message back and forth where I explained the syntax of this extremely simple language.
I disagree. Tesla has made bets the other EV firms have not yet even understood. Do you really want to pay 3000 USD for a tail light for a GM EV? The full view shows that Tesla is by far way ahead because of the total vertical.

First of all,.. incredible. I would not think this would become possible so fast.

Also ofcourse as a programmer a little worrisome. Though I do not worry that much yet.

We are talking about finding a solution an incredibly well written unambiguous specification. Including examples and a known solution to test against to boot. The specification here is just a program using English as its programming language. Also we are talking about a puzzle specifically made to be solved by computers. They are not real world problems (I don't really buy that I am actually helping some elves to be honest).

If we want to replace programmers with AI somebody will have to write these specifications. And why do it in a verbose and ambiguous language like English, why not safe some effort and do in in say, Haskell or Java etc?

Usually the input we get as programmers is more on the line as 'Make this faster', 'Make it stop crashing', 'Make it possible to do X'.

Certainly AI can and will assist with this though I think it will still take some time before it replaces this.
Why? And by "why" I mean "for what reason". And by "reason" I mean "a cause for an action or event". And by "cause" I mean "a thing that gives rise to a phenomenon". So I suppose what I am saying is: "What cause for an action or event gives rise to the phenomenon of your belief that "cognitive ability" is clearer?"

None of what I wrote, nor the rest of this comment, is meant to defend the veterans service agent in this story.

I'd agree the problem is resource allocation. But also, my understanding is that basically every country has some problems funding healthcare right now — at a government level, it's not one stairlift but all stairlifts collectively, it's not one malaria net but the continuing existence of malaria, it's not one overweight person but the consequences of half the population being obese, not one person who needs oxygen at the beginning of an respiratory infection but an entire pandemic overwhelming the national supply of ICUs simultaneously, not one person whose condom broke but the entire HIV+ population as a whole, and so on.

We can, and have, picked a few things to totally eliminate, leaving us more to spend on the rest, but at the same time there are many issues we can't ignore in the short term just to speed up the permanent elimination of other issues.

But yeah, a $100,000 inflatable duck has an opportunity cost of saving 20 lives. I have literally no idea if that kind of thing generates more locally to make up for that cost — art inspires people in general, but I don't know how to quantify that in quality or quantity of lives, because while utilitarianism claims it can do that it leaves too many variables unspecified to actually do anything.

Likewise, even if you're inhumanly cold-blooded about human suffering, sports and athletics competitions drive public fitness, whereas blasé attitudes to encouraging people to kill themselves leads to other social harms (this is why I'm not comfortable with the decriminalisation of assisted suicide despite the fact that I believe the various desperately ill people who are suffering greatly say they want it as an option).

It got better in the past 2 years. The latest Pixel or Samsung gives you 5 years of support. 3 major updates + 2 years of security updates on the Pixel and 4 major updates + 1 year of security updates on a Samsung. An iPhone gets you 6 major iOS updates, I think.
Not to forget TCPA through the backdoor. Aka TPM 2.0 required.
In the 2000s we demonstrated and fought against this.
20 years later people are so apathetic and M$ just decides that TPM 2.0 is a required hardware feature.

I only use Windows for playing games. Other irreplaceable software would be DAWs.

I don't see why I should have to buy a new computer, a "cheap" AMD-only system would cost 2.5k eur. An Intel/Nvidia system 5k, because of the ridiculous Nvidia GPU price and the high (600+ eur) motherboard price if you want ECC RAM.

What do I gain? A computer that is potentially controlled by external sources. Where someone else decides what I can and can't do with it.

Why hasn't there been an outrage when they said TPM 2.0 was required?

I will not "upgrade". I'm sure they'll find a way to force me.
The games that I play don't require top notch hardware. Those "AAA" titles are honestly 100% completely uninteresting.
80 eur for NFS unbound where they removed the coop aspect of the story game vs the previous version? Are they on crack? A bunch of remakes and remasters? Pokémon, Mario aka console titles? I don't feel like they're even trying anymore. I'm probably too old and no longer part of the target audience.

MSN, I never read it anyway.

I will not install a consumer OS that requires a TPM chip.

I cannot think of a single “tourist trap” beyond Imahan that tastes better than any random place in the same category in Tokyo. Different story outside the city but Tokyo generally has pretty high standards, and places that focus on matching what tourists expect rather than just being good rarely come out well

In the particular case of MCAS that's true, but so often it's simply thoughtless.

Management aren't often given a menu of options with "Really terrible idea that might be profitable" picked from the list. People down in the trenches don't know why you should do X rather than Y and so 50-50 chance you get either, despite the differences. If you told them, "Oh, don't do Y if you can do X, here's why" they'd make better choices and we'd only be talking about cases where management actually said "Yeah, do the terrible idea, we think that would be profitable".

Here's a link to P2000R4 https://www.open-std.org/JTC1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2022/p20...

That's a paper for WG21, the C++ Committee to read, but don't worry about what it means, look at how it was rendered. A big section from pages 8 and 9 is "highlighted" by changing the text background to angry red. In the process for many people this text is rendered unreadable due to contrast problems.

Nobody in "The Direction Group" is a rogue artist, here to confront us with black-on-red text as a metaphor for why it's wrong to worry about programming language safety or whatever -- just somebody clicked red in their word processor without really thinking about it and likely with no understanding of why it might be a bad idea.
Why isn't ambiguous.

Intelligence is used in multiple contexts and that makes it confusing even as a technical term. For example, in the context of national security or corporate strategy, it means "knowledge" rather than intellect.

I think many of the HN responses have proven the articles point having read it digitally. In a digital world people are consuming so much information they don’t have the time to properly think about the meaning behind an article—and they get it wrong, perpetuating false ideas in the blink of an eye.

Perhaps if they sat at the table, coffee in hand, and read a well-thought-out article in a newspaper or journal without digital noise they would have actually spent the time to understand what they’re reading.
Indeed. In my view making informed trade-offs, communicating with stakeholders, and tracking down bugs based on limited information are hugely important job duties, and are entirely untouched by GPT3.

People have decried “no code” and “low code” in the same way, but I see tons of job postings for people wanting an expert to drive or refactor these systems for them.

At worst, GPT3 will be a tool that aids programmers, it won’t replace them.
There’s a theory that human reasoning evolved in such a way that humans collectively don’t search for the truth or the correct decision but rather for the most convincing reason. Whether or not this true it does appear to be how groups of humans act.
