Sure but even within the UK there are people who "tramp" in trucks. They set off on Monday morning and don't return home until Friday night taking mixed loads between premises and sleeping in lay-bys and industrial estates each night without so much as access to a toilet. They don't do 2000 mile runs but they still cover 2000 miles in a week. It's hard to imagine acceptable infrastructure being added to make this work.

Maybe we just need to replace the internet's AI queue with a stack?
Yes it is, the link leads to xmind. I didn't create it though so I don't know how to set the theme.
High visibility customer support via hacker news is not a feature, it‘s a failure.

And those failed communications between provider and customer are why everyone is frustrated with the big corpos (google, cloudflare, stripe, etc.) which Hetzner is apparently bound to become.
Or by letting people go after realising this.
Indian here - I had to read the article to find out what it was.

Then I remembered the RBI had made a ruckus about it a few months ago.

I doubt anyone cares since almost every one uses their mobile phone and UPI for money transfers.
So everyone studying human consciousness (philosophers, neurobiologists, AI scientists, etc.) has just over-complicated things, and the answer was very simple and right under our noses, huh.
I have no idea. However, the storylines were not obvious, and yet they were exactly the same. The probability of this is very low.
Really? It's right there in the second sentence:

> From China to the UAE, the Bahamas to Nigeria, countries around the world have started trialling the use of central bank digital currencies as a way to translate their national fiat currencies into a means of digital exchange.

CBDC = Central Bank Digital Currency.
It’s there in the first sentence, though def not so clear as it’s not capitalized: Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC).
What I really wonder is: is there a correlation between consumption of streaming tv series and positive attitude towards this "AI" wave?

"statistical mean of everything uploaded by humans on the internet which fits certain criteria"

applies to both ChatGPT/StableDiffusion and most movie series on streaming TV.

My pet theory is that if you can stomach watching the same stories with different skins hundreds of times, you will find current "AI" interesting. Otherwise no.
I like GPT-3 a lot, but there's an important distinction between "plausible conversation" and "trustworthy answers". ChatGPT is probably best in the world in the "plausible conversation" category.

But you might say ChatGPT is like talking to a human who actually knows nothing about finance but doesn't let that stop them (and for that matter, if you wanted to anthropomorphize it, you could say part of the problem is ChatGPT literally "believes" everything it reads online - and you can easily make it "believe" anything through leading wording, which I think is a strong tool for strengthening the Turing test, since no human will respond that way). Sometimes they might luck into being correct, but you wouldn't want to base any information on what they say.

On the other hand, if I actually wanted reliable finance advice, a scripted finance chatbot would still win because those answers are written by people who do know what they're talking about.
Based on your response I'll assume you have no argument since you've resorted to name calling.
More specifically, Weber’s concept of charismatic authority.
I've built a new home, NOT off-grid but capable of a limited autonomy and I'm FAR less optimistic than the author: first of all I'm living far south (French Alps of the south) so in a far more p.v. friendly place, with less cold for less time in winter and still a circadian thermal Δ that makes cooling needed only when the Sun shine. It's not a cabin but a home so with far more room for equipment.

For the home I see I need to double my p.v. to 10kWp JUST to achieve a bit more than 50% self-consumption of the year, from 72% maximum in spring/summer to 35% of November-February. WFH to recharge A BIT from p.v. my EV with a realistic relative autonomy I need around 10kWp three phase, not single phase. Witch means three time the plant and it's costs, space etc. Still NOT reaching autonomy.

Not counting the usable life of LiFeP storage and NMC cars...

With my actual setup I can POTENTIALLY halving by home storage operation life be autonomous just from late May to September being VERY attentive in all I do, without counting the car. With a theoretical 10kWp x 3 I might be reasonably autonomous also for car (limiting my trips much) just from June to August. Actually my time-machine is offline and my body live 365 days per year, regardless of the season and actual hours of Sunlight or heating/cooling needs... Oh, and I also need to eat, being unable to create my own food out of my land (except for VERY limited amount of veggies, fish and meat casually hunted in a limited period of the year)... Oh, and of course I need many gears, starting from p.v. who is built by factories unable to run on p.v. themselves.............

Yeah, it is, It's not a complete list of available Linux commands, maybe GNU/Unix is a better description.
There are (history of programming languages) HOPL articles in the ACM's digital library. The series on Lisp and Fortran is interesting. Perhaps, A.I. can re-evaluate those paths prematurely not taken in the abstractions.

Well, why not? With SEPA ICT wire transfers are instant and cheap, why build a custom web UI with fraud handling and all that if you can just use SEPA transfers?
True.

Now that they are entangled with US law there might be an incentive to be as a cooperative as possible.

Yet, Hetzner is still a "better" option (with regards to data protection) than any of the big US-based cloud providers.
The legislation linked is not about enforced breaks for drivers, though. Does the US have this?
Yes aarm64 since RELEASE 13
I have one of their cheapest dedicated servers and a Sunday evening a few weeks ago the hard drive died.

I put in a ticket and within about half an hour they had installed a replacement disk. I then had to reinstall everything because I'd messed up my raid config but that was totally my fault not theirs.

I was very pleased with that efficiency on what is a very cheap server.
The correct answer is a notification in the game every time you try to play. Not an email saying you’re secretly banned.
Hard disagree on cars. Everyone has caught up. I'll raise you Hyundai/Kia against a model 3 any day of the week.

At Plaid levels, a trimmed up Taycan is gorgeous by comparison and Lucid hit the Plaid where it counts ... and let's not even talk about Rimac.

Sorry, the fan boy belief that Tesla is far ahead of the competition is 18 months out of date now.
> If someone can pass an interview, this person deserves a chance, no matter the background.

Eh... This is the problem. You assume that the interview that is given is a valid judge of competency. Often they are not. They judge whether you've done enough leetcode to see a similar problem to whatever esoteric coding puzzle you're given. OR it shows that you can stand toe to toe (or at least give acceptable answers) to whatever the question de jour is in the "open session".

(This may come off as spiteful) I've built web applications in the web 2.0 LAMP/ajax era (as a young kid). I've built modern Java applications from struts to spring. Built microservices in new languages (go, rust, typscript). I've used Linux for going on 20 years (slackware, suse, gentoo, and debian). I've built and maintained modern container based web applications on Kubernetes. Even contributed to open source. These all show competence.

None of that matters in the current interview era that we live in. If you can't solve some bs problem in 30 min like a hot and ready pizza, you're passed on. Often, the interviewer couldn't do the question in the time alotted. Or you're badgered about some random "gotcha question" (I was once disqualified for not being able to describe shell tokenization "to standard"... It wasn't a job to replace zsh, bash, or fish.. I'll tell you that). That's not sifting through candidates for competency at all.

And frankly... it will show in the quality of the code (should you get "the pleasure" of an offer). Or the architecture of the systems.
> E-paper and e-ink are synonyms

They absolutely are not. E-paper is a generic term for "screens that can be used like paper". E-ink is a specific technology.

If you see people saying a device uses an "e-paper display" it's because it's not e-ink, but often they want to make people think that it is (because e-ink is arguably the best kind of e-paper display).

Transflective LCD is an example of an e-paper display that is not e-ink.
That’s Thuringia-specific, though. "Landes" means "state", not federal.
Actually, there is. The idea here is that even though one party is immense that they should be able to get away with dishonest business practices is abhorrent and it serves a purpose to point this out in places where there are lots of eyeballs. For one it helps to warn people that this stuff could happen to their order too, for another it may help to bring together people that have had similar things happen to them so that they can take collective action, which stands a much better chances of being effective.

Keep in mind that companies the size of Amazon are sensitive to their reputation and to statistics and as along as you are an isolated case they will not change their processes or attitude but there is a lot of strength in numbers.
> Occupation - Chief Executive Officer And Founder

When you put that on the formation document of the company that you are becoming CEO and Founder of then I am 50-50 on it being a scam.

> Why not ?

As in, we run out of fossil fuels (or it gets prohibitively expensive) and your truck becomes brick because its internal battery and electric drivetrain is pretty much useless without the ICE part.

Solar, wind and thermal are practically unlimited for duration of the planet's existence.
Companies can demand all they want, but unless the number of workers increases they might not have the power to enforce things. If the boomers stay out of the workforce, those jobs have to be filled or surrendered. I thought the whole thing re boomers was that they were a demographic bulge that was followed by a shortfall. That lack gives the workers a bit more leverage than previously.

It’s all up to those workers. Give in or not as it’s your career and life. We’ve seen that wfh works. And if companies keep prattling on about the office, they should stfu about the environment or worker satisfaction. Sux to be them if they build palaces they can’t fill.
> Plenty of popsci journos write as if nature is intelligent and driven by some purpose.

You might want to read “The intentional stance” by the famous philosopher Daniel Dennett. This is a pretty useful analytic approach for many problems (e.g. we commonly say things like “the thermostat tries to keep the temperature within three degrees of its set point”).

I agree it is distressing that many people interpret such metaphors literally.
Rough math on this: $5/gallon diesel with 5mpg = $1/mile fuel cost. 1.7kwh/mile * $0.1/kwh = $0.17/mile. $0.83/mile savings * 400 miles/day * 250 days a year = $83,000/year in fuel savings.

I suspect that charging infrastructure is going to be expensive, but cheap enough that if an operator has multiple trucks, the payback will be pretty fast and the low margins will incentive faster adoption for short haul trucking. Long haul is another beast entirely (don't hold your breath for that industry to come around before well into the 2030s), but short haul should eat this up!
While you have compelling arguments, there's others in favor of taking the hit on efficiency; lower fuel costs, higher efficiency / speed, but probably more importantly, environmental impact. Unfortunately, being more environmentally friendly frequently comes at a cost. But the lower maintenance and fuel costs will help offset some of those costs, in theory.
Is it still necessary to do the serial console procedure to install it on the RaspberryPi? If that's the case does anyone know why I can do a simple `dd` with a FreeBSD image to the SD card and boot the RaspberryPi but not with an OpenBSD image? I tried once OpenBSD in my laptop and was extremely happy with with it. Then for some reason that I can't remember I switched to FreeBSD which also makes me very happy.
Not able to source others in India. But am very much interested in RPi4 for my home automation project. Seems like the wait is going to take few months or years.
Counting the Cost of Training Large Language Models
They will use a major crisis to force adoption.
Yes, and also no incentive, since as a general rule rail is cheaper than trucks (and boats are cheaper than rail).

I have no way to determine if their cherry picked example is something that's relevant or some weird edge case that makes their graphs look good.

But we will see over time, based on adoption.

And regardless of what they do, I hope they don't lobby against mass transit (of goods and people). But they probably will, making things worse for all us.

C'est la vie, I guess.
It is a real problem. The web will soon be full of AI generated bullshit.

What might come back as useful tool? Authorship. People actually signing the content and putting their reputation on the line. It still exists obviously (journalism…) but it might need to be standardized and industrialized.
OpenIndiana Hipster 2022.10 Released with Updates for OpenSolaris-Derived OS
I really like Hetzner (very inexpensive and generally good quality), but their TOS are difficult and their DMCA is just broken.

The TOS are vague. You're not allowed to "violate the rights of third parties", but they don't have a clear policy on what is a violation. If you review a product and the company files a DMCA, they may or may not say that naming a brand is a violation (I've experienced them coming down on both sides of the issue), when it's clearly fair use.

For DMCA claims, they tell you to use a form to reply, but the responses from the form will not be received and/or read reliably, so half the time you get a follow up email after 24h saying you haven't replied, so they will now manually check resolution and might block your server.

Tech and pricing are fine and I recommend them, legal is an issue, and I'd include some "but only if you're in an industry where DMCA claims are unheard of" caveat with my recommendation.
ChatGPT seems like a beginner at a wide range of subjects.
Ask HN: Anyone else get rate limited on ChatGPT? Did I break it?
I am getting the response/error: "Too many requests, please slow down"

I didn't spam the system or do any nefarious action. Does anyone know what the lockout period is?

It first occurred about an hour ago. I asked:

A New Britain: Renewing Our Democracy and Rebuilding Our Economy [pdf]
In just the past couple of weeks, I've noticed lots of machine generated cooking recipes. They follow the typical SEO pandering blog format, where there's an unnecessary story about the author's trip somewhere or their child's school play being the inspiration for making this particular recipe, followed by the actual recipe details. The machine generated stories are even more pointless and meandering than what humans come up with and the recipe details have steps that contradict each other and specify ingredients that shouldn't be in the dish and weren't on the ingredients list.

I don't know how many people are fooled by these recipes and end up with a cooking disaster but if we start seeing faulty machine generated instructions on how to do electrical work or engine repair, the consequences will be much greater when followed. The real annoyance is that because these machine generated articles learned from sites that maximize SEO, the generated articles are rapidly rising to the top of search results and crowding out actual good information that wasn't SEO maximized.

Setting aside the cost of diesel for a moment, trucking companies didn't build the entire gasoline infrastructure, either.
I am glad you're interested ssivark. These vibrant discussions we once
had in classes for ethical hacking and security engineering, had a big
influence on a book I wrote called Digital Vegan. They continue to
inspire me with a new book "Ethics for Hackers". However, the world is
changing so rapidly. Much of Digital Vegan feels quaint already (or
perhaps I have matured).

But, in all sincerity, do you really think that the readers of HN
would positively discuss a "Bill of Bytes"? So far I have found the
pervading cynicism and stuckness to be discouraging. It's very
different when you are in a room, face-to-face with people who are
themselves exasperated with digital technology and open to creative
thinking about how to fix it. But on the internet, everyone is their
own urbane expert, "too cool to care". Or, increasingly, they're an AI
troll-bot cleverly designed to derail any reflective exchanges.

Working on a personal level is more where I'm at. Every year another
of my classes pass out into the world, get jobs in cybersecurity or
development. I hope they take the deeper lessons with them, and try to
make the world a better place for everyone who uses technology.

Meanwhile writers like Cory Doctorow are doing a great job of bringing
issues to non-technical readers
iirc Hetzner once had GPU offerings in Germany but it was discontinued. I guess it was hard to model a business case on short living hardware (from a business perspective as Hetzner hardware usually runs for a couple of years) and mad pricing/sourcing due to all the blockchain/ML hype. Today I guess eneregy is also an issue.
It uses reinforcement learning, they had humans rank the responses of GPT-3 and used that as a training set

I used pincers and fished out massive piece of navel lint the other day. It was quite solid. And there was white strands growing from it, somekind of mildew.

Another problem is AI training on AI generated content. This could lead to degradation of results. So perhaps to make everyone happy a new HTML tag indicating AI content would be useful?
I’m 41 and I’m utterly baffled by my 24 year-old SO’s interest in binging an apparently infinite litany of TV shows from streaming services. I’ve watched the first six seasons of Game Of Thrones, the first season of Dark, all of The Expanse (reading the last book of the final trilogy now), His Dark Materials (because I read the books) and Andor. That’s it. I watched some Star Trek TNG & DS9 as a kid and was horrified by what snippets of Discovery and Picard I came across. I find the bulk of modern entertainment to be an utter insult to viewers.

> Additionally, we're seeing a trend of people calling themselves "data scientists" after completing a three-week course in Python. These individuals may have a basic understanding of the language, but they do not have the necessary skills and experience to truly be considered data scientists.

Those people don't get hired anyway. If they do, they won't be able to do anything productive and hold a job. And if they can hold a job and be productive, that proves that you were wrong about their not having the necessary skills. So things are fine either way.
Well, here's to hoping. As for urgency, the Pi is pretty much ideal for home automation and I've been meaning to transport Home Assistant from my laptop to a Pi for a while now and everywhere I go it is out of stock.
It's a cloud-based product. So processing is a core part of the value proposition - the provider (Google, Microsoft) stores a copy of the data and exposes APIs that the frontends use to download the documents to the users' machines.

The alternative is a product that is not collaborative (no online collaboration, at least) or requires customers to hire a sys admin to install on their own servers and maintain it.

This isn't some nefarious plot by big tech to steal your data, it's the product people want.
