> And Tesla has a habit of ignoring those.

Tesla definitely has a habit of ignoring problems, but in all cases I'm aware of, they're non fundamental issues that can be addressed along the way. They see the bigger picture and aren't focusing on non-crucial details.

> What have the Superchargers proven? That under increased load the locations can become completely overwhelmed? Even with EVs having a single-digit market share?

I'm referring to speed of Superchargers increasing over time. Newer superchargers don't have the drop in charging speed problem when two adjacent stalls are used at the same time.

> I haven't met a single person in my neck of the woods that thinks waiting 30 minutes to "fuel up" is remotely reasonable. And that's state-of-the-art. We have a ways to go.

Well your neck of the wood aren't the current intended audience. Thanks to everyone else who's buying the cars at their current state. They are enabling a future where your neck of the wood can have cars that charge in a few minutes. Oh, and I'm one of them. You're welcome.

> Let's wait for some real-world testing before making claims to Telsa Semi's range.

OK.
To what extent is this an issue with CRDTs and to what extent is it an issue with the data structure(s) used to represent the state?
Is that "Humans Control Computer Humans" or "Human Computers Control Humans"? Does it matter? Fuck.
Not quite right.

They make those who still cycle less safe because less people will cycle overall.

So basically a single person wearing a helmet is safer than not wearing. But a person wearing a helmet is a crowd is less safe than that person biking "alone" not wearing a helmet.
New “bring your own filesystem” (BYOF) technique for crypto mining, uses PRoot
> This will serve, once again, capitalism and it's absurd race towards the bottom, lowest common denominator.

What is the alternative? Are socialist economies known for producing great art? What is Venezuela producing? Cuba? North Korea?

It seems far more likely to me that the American entertainment industry is just in a rut (as it tries to figure out streaming and adjust to the bad assumption that pandemic-level entertainment consumption was here to stay), and market economics will force established players to improve or face disruption.
Well to me there's two distinct types of background:

1. Background directly related to the recipe/cooking in general.

2. The writer's personal anecdotes tangentially related to the recipe.

Some cooking blogs have great background (eg. J. Kenji Lopez-Alt's work on Serious Eats) but I would say they're mostly type 1 - information that informs you about the recipe, how they developed it, technique etc. They have type 2 background as well (jokes, what inspired them to make the recipe, snippets of their day-to-day lives) but it's definitely a small proportion of the body of the text. These blogs always have background that's work reading.

What I can't stand is the blogs with reams and reams of text of nothing but personal anecdotes, meandering stories, media references, what their kids are up to etc etc, occasionally returning to talk about something to do with the recipe. I don't have any examples because I now avoid untrusted recipe blogs like the plague, but it becomes very obvious to me when a recipe blog strays from useful background to worthless padding for the sake of copyright and SEO.
Awesome product.

The main reason I would use this instead of burning my NFTs would be the product doing the legwork to figure my tax loss for me.

I think this offers tremendous value to retail (unsophisticated users). The only value I see for sophisticated users is quickly figuring tax loss.
Sorry, but that's highly unlikely. A better response is to reflect on the origin and the amount of un-obvious-ness of those storylines.
> GMO food supporters point out that GMOs help us feed more people

That seems like an odd thing to point out to me.

More people is not an obviously positive thing for us or the planet. And we have enough food and wealth for everyone as it is. If feeding more people were the priority, it could be addressed in other ways. I think the primary motive behind GMO is increased control and profit. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that there's a whitewashed motive as well.
An ode to software products over software services
Oh thank God, I took a lot of poli-sci classes in college and read that ChatGPT output going, "holy shit, did I totally mis-remember Hobbes' whole deal, was all that time totally wasted if I've got the wrong idea about something that basic?" but no, ChatGPT was just wildly wrong. Phew.
> Why would any company restrict itself to an arbitrary "maximum" and leave money on the table...?

Because when there's too much options and features users are going to be overwhelmed.

Also, feature creep has nothing to do with developers wanting or not wanting, those are product decisions.

I saw that in the past with an ecommerce, we had a good portal, then stakeholders in corporate that need to justify their salary started shoving more and more stuff, now what was a simple search-find-pay has become interrupted and overwhelmed with features and information.
For as often as I've had to upgrade a machine, or had a hardware failure, I'd just choose whatever works best for my daily workflow. An inconvenient fix that takes my computer out of service for a day while I run over to the Apple Store that only happens every few years at most is just not comparable to something that puts a drag on my workflow every single day.
CVS Sued over 'Fraudulent' Donations to American Diabetes Association
Is there any actual evidence that this marginally lower latency makes any real life difference?

And why would the laptops suddenly ship with a variety of modules if they're replaceable? You can still ship it with the same modules in every laptop and get those benefits. And if someone upgrades it, that's still an improvement over no upgrade path, so this makes no sense to me.
Interesting. I am curious to hear an example of what such a password would look like that would cause a riot when read out loud in court.
Not a customer of either but it's very interesting what you're saying in the context of all comments here complaining about not being allowed to open accounts on Hetzner. Maybe their extreme vetting requirements are actually paying off.
Yeah, it's nice to see the best parts of Digg survived! /s
My initial reaction when I saw the video was 'Alwin Nikolais' - he's really considered to be the choreographer who first integrated multimedia into dance. e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KFpcO0f89E
(edit - forgot an S on his name and posted a better video)
I didn't give any consent to tax my income either, government still does it. Fact is that the relationship between citizen and state is not consensual in nature, at least in India. So it is futile to fight it case by case.
There isn't any doubt that visitation rates have been up. I'm sure instituting formal reservation systems "helped" at the places that actually needed them, but this is a case that you can no longer get reservations at the parks which are also the least visited in the year following the reservation system being implemented, which seems suspect.

So, maybe its just social media/etc driving the problem, but it could also be that people can search the entire inventory and are like "hey I can't get a reservation at X, but we could go to Y instead since they have a site free" Vs actually having to pick up the phone and call a half dozen reservation desks adding friction to the system.
The Privacy War Is Coming
As a cyclist and a driver, I've never had a cyclist throw something at my car just for existing. My brother has been shot at with a pellet gun. I've had cars swerve at me to run me off the road.

There are a lot of psychos out there with a straight up violent hatred for cyclists and a way too many people justifying it because a cyclist was a danger to themselves at some point.
As has been discussed here, the more AI generates the content the less humans generate content. Further AI generated content is much faster and cheaper to produce so it’s quantity will dwarf human generated content. This then feeds into the training set and becomes self reinforcing. There will be no collective human cognitive labor to source for free.

I suspect to mitigate that AI companies will hire lots of people to simply write. This writing will be tailored to address shortcomings in the model and provide human mediated training material that’s targeted at training areas of difficulty for the models. The goal won’t be moderation, or editorialism, or producing original content. No one other than the machines will see the content written. The goal will be to improve the ability of the models to produce compelling content in volume for a marginally low cost - which may become dominated by the content creators feeding the machine. But it’ll be much less cost on the margin with a more predictable quality result than hiring individually unique humans to make hit or miss content at scale.

(N.b., I’m only focusing on the free cognitive labor statement)
I've had one external SSD fail. No internal ones. Guessing there's a difference in how they're built.
+1 for the expression "trust calculus" as it seems quite apposite.

CBDC (along with its less august bitcoin sibling) are ultimately questions rather than answers: what are the fundamental building blocks of trust in society (whether analog or digital), how invariant are they under cultural transformations and what might be optimal or at least stable designs (that do no depend on a perpetual pool of "low information" crowds).
Chess is not a productive activity and its sole objective is just entertainment.
> But as a cost it is hellishly slow and is hard to find anything in.

Fun fact: a single Jira Issue page could download up to 100 MB of data. Not joking. Hope they fixed it in time.
Mandatory helmet laws make the number of injuries associated with biking go down. That is their purpose, and they are effective. Yes, some of that is people who would rather not bike at all than bike safely, and there are some non-linear effects from that, but it's still a net reduction in injuries.

There is a real need for society to discuss whether the value of reduced injuries outweighs the cost in terms of less cycling - for example more car emmisions, more traffic congestion, less easy cardio, etc. But to say people are less safe is just not true for the common definition of safe.

> India’s central bank has estimated that 99 per cent of the high denomination banknotes cancelled last year were deposited or exchanged for new currency, dashing government hopes that its contentious demonetisation exercise would wipe out huge amounts of “black money" ... complex money-laundering networks sprang up in the wake of the demonetisation to help wealthy Indians deposit huge volumes of previously undeclared currency without exposing themselves to tax authorities. Such people allegedly sold the old notes, at a discount, to brokers who then dispatched low-income Indians to deposit or exchange them at banks.
On artistic generation, I think it's very close. On everything else, it's just a matter of time, honestly.
If it kills homework then so much the better.
ChatGPT looks awesome, I'm really interested to see how it does with more niche topics. E.g. give it high school level, undergrad level, grad level, and research level math topics to generate notes for and see how it does for each one
How long before a Wikipedia article will reference an AI generated text as an authoritative source? Or have we already passed that point?
Funny, I connected up an old rPi 3 that I wasn't using just yesterday, and put OpenBSD on it for the first time. I wrote the miniroot iso to my SD card using one of those cheapy camera USB adapters on my desktop, then just installed to the SD card after the miniroot was loaded into memory.

Very satisfying seeing the serial TTY come up with the familiar ASCII spinner. My plan is to configure this to connect to wifi, establish a VPN connection to somewhere, then set it up to dispense an IP address and function as a NAT for anything plugged into its ethernet port.
There's actually an approach that sits in between this and formal CRDTs.

I had the same insight that having a total ordered log of changes solves a lot of the issues with concurrent updates. We solved this by creating one sequence CRDT that ensures all events from clients eventually end up in the same order and then our data structures are just reductions over those events. It's a little bit like a distributed, synchronized Redux store. This let us avoid having to think in terms of CRDT types (LWW registers, Grow-only sets, sequences, etc) and just think in terms of the domain-specific business logic (e.g. "what should happen when someone marks a todo as done, after it's deleted?").

There's a little but more to so if this is interesting to anyone, I can write a more detailed explanation.
> Items aren't inspected deeply when they arrive. Fakes can get in.

I think stores like Walmart do the same thing for returns, most of the time I believe they just trust the customer, don't know what happens after though if they simply put it back in the isle if the packaging looks good.
No, you're mixing up companies with products. Any business built around a RaspberryPi is probably in the business of RPi accessories or they're an ascended hobby project.
Couldn’t agree more. The quest for self-driving cars seems to be a capitalistic endeavor to offer the convenience of chilling in your car, and platform for all the services one could consume in the time they’d otherwise be driving.

If safety was the first principle, then traffic science and urban planning would lead the way until systems are simple enough for self driving cars to take over. It doesn’t seem we are in the place (in the US) where this type of private-public collaboration can take place at meaningful scale.

I’m not knocking all of the brilliant work that has been done but peddling self-driving cars for safety (not saying OP is doing that) just seems like a version of “making the world better (to be rich).”
Idea: DMARC processing SaaS
> GMOs are terrible

In what way?

> various other issues like: patenting life, monopolization, reducing genetic diversity, GMO cross-pollination

Agree these are all terrible, but nothing there is GMO-specific. That's all either bad agricultural practices like mono-cropping that can be done with any crop, or societal problems related to intellectual property or markets.
"Cancelled before birth" was never on my list of defenses against runaway AIs. Weird times we live in.
Show HN: Chrome extension that adds ChatGPT to every website
Hey HN, this weekend I made an extension that adds ChatGPT functionality to every website. Right click in any text area, click "Ask ChatGPT", and it responds in the same text area. I've been using it to write tweets and revise copy in notion docs. The crazy part was that ChatGPT taught me how to make Chrome extensions and wrote ~60% of the code.

It's fully-open source. Link and demo in my comment below.
It appears the problem existed before the lila3 was deployed on 11/22. If you notice the GC graph. The number of GC cycles/minute kept increasing gradually starting on 11/10 and almost doubling on 11/21. The 11/22 deployment of lila3 reset the graph and since you have been restarting everyday since, we can't see the growth of more than a day.
My wild hunch is a code push on 11/10 causing a memory leak, worth checking in my opinion.
Any of the performance SUVs these days are still not doing much better than 12mpg, even if the per mpg emissions are better. I was getting 9mpg city driving with a late model biturbo v12.
The GPT output I've been making using openAI's chatpot is indistinguishable from what the bottom 70% of commentators put out.

But an environment glutted with that content is also worthless. I read for the top 10% that has genuinely novel thoughts.
One of the more interesting take-home lessons is that low-tech systems are a good passive defense against high-tech cyberattacks (aka, 'going autistic'). From the linked Nov 30 Economist article, "Lessons From Russia's Cyber-War in Ukraine":

https://archive.ph/MJP0J

> "Ukrainian resilience was helped, paradoxically, by the primitive nature of many of its industrial-control systems—inherited from Soviet days and not yet upgraded. When, for example, Industroyer hit electrical substations in Kyiv in 2016, engineers were able to reset systems with manual overrides within a few hours."

However, that article also makes an unsubstantiated claim:

> "The sabotage of the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines in September, and missile attacks on Ukraine’s power grid, suggest that the Kremlin’s appetite for risk is growing."

It seems fairly obvious that Russia had little to gain from blowing up its own gas pipelines to Europe, while Britain and the USA viewed that as 'a great opportunity' (Blinken) for replacing Russian pipeline gas with tanker LNG. The Swedish/Danish investigation is apparently ongoing, Germany has classified everything, but the goals of the overall economic battle should be obvious: it's all about who gets access to the European energy market.

Incidentally, the terms 'black, grey, white' are also used to describe propaganda tactics as used in psychological warfare operations:

> "White propaganda: The information is truthful and only moderately biased. The source of the information is cited."

> "Grey propaganda: The information is mostly truthful and contains no information that can be disproven. However, no sources are cited."

> "Black propaganda: Literally “fake news,” the information is false or deceitful and is attributed to sources not responsible for its creation."

https://www.thoughtco.com/psychological-warfare-definition-4...

Almost all of the news we see today, on essentially all important topics, falls into one of the above categories (with social media posts having the most actual 'fake news' content).
No it's not; you still get detection of errors (just without correction), compression, arbitrary filesystems in a single pool, and snapshots. ZFS is great regardless of RAID.
Why? Our cities aren't magical beasts whose whims we must yield to. They're shaped by people. Demand better. Look at the transformations taking place in Paris, how cities like Utrecht have been saved from car-centric design and given back to humans.

I just don't understand this defeatist attitude. Most people on this site live in healthy democracies. Why do we call for reforms in every political sphere but maintain an adamant denial of our power over city planning?
US has also many more strip clubs

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_trafficking_in_the_United_...

The United States ranks as one of the worst countries in the world for human trafficking

Despite a common and widespread misconception, human trafficking is not just a problem outside the US. It also happens here, within United States borders, and in every state.

Listen, let's have an honest discussion here.

What China does better than USA?

Less people incarcerated is good, how the prisoners are treated is another issue entirely and of course China can and should be heavily criticized for that.

But penal labor for literally cents/day or private prisons as a source of profit or the death penalty are something that the US, above all, should be able to improve on, before lecturing other countries over human rights.

Let's talk about

“Guantanamo Bay is a site of unparalleled notoriety, defined by the systematic use of torture, and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment against hundreds of men brought to the site and deprived of their most fundamental rights.”

This is a statement from "The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights of the United Nations".

What have the consequences been? Nothing. Literally nothing has changed!

People have been detained there for years, most of them without any charges, denied of the right to a due process, only because they were Muslims.

39 of those men are still kept captive there as of today, 20 years later, 27 of them have never been charged with any crime, the others have been cleared for transfer years ago, but are still there.

Imagine if China did something like that what the US would be saying about it.

That's the moral short circuit: if it's wrong it must be wrong for everybody, especially for those claiming to hold in high regards human rights, not only if China or Russia do it.
There’s lots of IRC still floating around the DoD. But yes, XMPP has partially supplanted it.
I knew all those techniques once, back in the day when I was 11, with a Final Cartridge and a curious mind.

Nowadays I just operate https://c64g.com/

I don't think I could even remotely write one of the cracktros I used to.
I seem to remember it all had something to do with interrupt timing. You had to fill with NOPs in order to get the timing right.
Many times they are not real people. They are pseudonyms used by an editorial board, all or some of which use the name to publish articles that the board feel may blow back or be controversial. The practice is as old as publishing itself.

I feel I should respond in Spanish to continue the mindfuck that this thread is.

Dude I don’t look at people history and last time I break into a system I was 16 years old.

So yeah, I’m harmless and was mostly trying to have a more entertaining hangover.

Have a nice day :)

Édith : TSSCI? Actually I would take context on that.
you can modify non-metal tracks to work with stained glass foil, and maybe a jumper or two depending on what you’re trying to modify. i used it successfully for cross-tracks (x’s) when they came out originally.
Precisely. As Károly is so often reminding us, wait until two more papers down the line.
Some of Amazon's policies are real head scratchers. Last year I bought a high end ultrawide monitor from them. I believe I paid about $1500 for it originally. Two or three days after it arrived, it went on sale for about $300 less. IME most companies have a policy in the fine print where if an item goes on sale less than a week after purchase they'll refund the difference, if you ask. So I contact Amazon support. The agent insisted that no refund was possible but that I should return the monitor for a refund and order a new one at the lower price. It boggled my mind so much that I asked them explicitly if they understand that they'd be paying for return shipping (at least $50 given the size and weight of the monitor), they'd be getting back an open box item that would lose probably 20-30% of its value, and I'd get back the $300. They said yeah, that was just how the system worked...
It's a lot more productive to support a free helmet program in your city, if you really want more people to wear helmets.
That stems from the wrong idea that a software has to grow endlessly in its user base and revenue.

You start offering A, then you offer everything from A to F, putting complex strains on design and overwhelming your users over and over. Then you start losing the customers that liked A but find the software too bloated.
We already do as you're saying with "content". The throwaway paperback novels are already predictable cheap trash (I still read them, not judging, but they're providing a different type of stimulation for which that bar is lower than something that makes you think). These are already written in a formulaic way that is equivalent to being computer generated, it just took a bit more human effort until now. Same for TV programming, art, I assume video games, etc...
