I heard that California's electric grid could not handle charging them all at once. They had to say don't charge your EV. It takes a lot of lithium to make batteries for the EVs. Which ruins the environment. Might as well drive a gas powered car until they can fix the problems with EVs.
I used your message as input to this website, and that's what I got :joy:

Your dream reflects your inner desire to find a way to use GPT3 in a way that is both convincing and meaningful.

You feel that there is a gap in the industry for something that is about convincing people with words, rather than being focused on what is right and wrong. You are looking for a place where you can use GPT3 to your advantage, but also be aware of its weaknesses and limitations. You feel that GPT3 could be a great asset to any industry, if it is used correctly and with an awareness of the potential pitfalls. You are looking for a way to apply GPT3 that is both convincing and meaningful, and that will not have significant repercussions if it is applied incorrectly.
That makes me worry how long we'll have gmaps data in BlenderGIS. Although the OSM data is pretty dang good; less chance of running into some godforsaken royalty thingamabob.

Speaking of which, BlenderGIS would be a pretty neat geo viz platform for presentations. Bit too much of a learning curve for Normal People though.
> At the same place as in my first statement, Macs are slowly showing up in places you'd never have guessed before.

I switched to Macs in 2004, and have loved the experience most of the time, but fear that it's not so much that Apple is above this sort of thing as that they're a little bit behind Microsoft in doing it. Already, do you want to use iCloud? Are you sure you don't want to use iCloud? Maybe now you want to use iCloud? And it's relatively easy to ignore, but of countless small such choices is Microsoft-style user hostility made.
That seems like the worst conceivable way to monetize the model. Why wouldn't you just have banner ads on the website instead?

Not if you use a heat pump, no. Modern ones have very high efficiency (above 300% as they're not actually using energy to make heat, just to "move it around") and work even in very, very cold temperatures. But you don't install tens of millions all over a country in a matter of months - you quickly run into bottlenecks like production, distribution, certified installers, etc.

I honestly fail to see what properties of the language has anything to do with the metaverse, or millions of devs, etc...

At first I though the "choice" construct would be a way to distribute code execution among multiple computers (using the fact that in a grandiose metaverse, everything would be a connected computer with lots of compute time to spare ?) but there is not much detail.

Also it's not obvious from the slide if there is already a compiler / exécution env at the moment, or how far they are from it.

Now, the names behind this aren't exactly bozos, so I suppose we'll get to know soon.

Wait and see, I guess ?

Yeah, a space elevator would be the most efficient way lift payloads to space where it's a lot easier to maneuver. Anyone knowledgeable about space elevators on HN? I wonder why it's never been attempted.
Exactly that. I use WebMentions to gather information about people sharing each blog post and also for comments. If you want to comment on the site you can simply send a WebMention. For example, sites such as Lobste.rs do that so every time a post ends up there, the comments on the thread appear on the site. The same happens on Twitter and Mastodon. It is very neat.

Sorry, but what 'scandals'? The one where he had a handful of people in his garden? I mean theoretically during COVID administrative actions, but in practicality it has nothing to do with anything at all other than optics? BoJo was clownish, but he was not doing deals with Russians or stealing money.

Angela Merkel made massive deals with Putin for expansion of energy integration which was a key economic driver in a massive war in Europe. Gehard Schroder cut a deal with Russian Oil companies after he was voted out as Chancellor, just as he was leaving office whereupon he took Board Positions on said Russia Oil companies literally the day after being out of office including massive monetary payments. Which is beyond conflict of interest, just straight corruption, that of course also put Germany - and Europe including the UK on a trajectory to war.

Justin Trudeau was caught wearing Blackface. Twice. And there are other instances of this, as he has hinted 'he doesn't remember how many times he did it'. He implemented extrajudicial measures to quell a protest that was threatening his political legitimacy, while lying to the public that it was at the behest of the RCMP, whilst they in fact denied it was at their request. Those measures included the ability to seize individuals finances. He's allowing local provincial leaders in Quebec and Alberta to literally ignore the Constitution without a challenge. His family accepted $500 000 in consulting fees and travel from an entity his cabinet subsequently awarded a $1 Billion 'no bid contract' to. He bullied his Justice Minister into not investigating SNC-Lavalin, a massive international construction firm. There is $32 Billion in unaccounted for COVID payments. The $5M/year government payroll project is now close to a Billion dollars in cost.

Those are mostly 'material issues' meaning the scandals in these circumstances affect the nature of our governance, some of it in existentially consequential ways (aka 'extrajudicial actions').

I have no love or support for Boris Johnson - but 'scandal' is how the press (especially even outside the UK) turned his floozy escapades into material issues while they ignored nearly criminal actions elsewhere.

In short, yes, but the exact (very long) answer depends on whether you have a gfx-card in the (beefy) 'compute-machine', whether you use X11, or Wayland, Gnome or not, HW-encoding available etc.
And that is on the server side. Clientside this also depends on whether you can install arbitrary software, or are limited to e.g. the DLNA-Implementation of e.g. a TV, when it comes to launching/pushing the streams of each quarter.

You should be able to use `ffmpeg` or `gstreamer` to construct pipeline(s) to screenrecord, pump out 4 TransportStreams in as-lossless-as-possible-bitrate over UDP, and use DLNA/whatEv to instruct the client devices to display the appropriate stream.

If the GFX-Card(s) in the "BeefyPC" can render 4 heads. then this will nearly work ootb with miraclecast.

How does nightcap guru work? You just prepend something like "write an interpretation of following dream" to the text and send it to OpenAIs API?
The effects of just absorbing what's around you diminishes at the C2 level. From my experience a huge effort must be made to improve beyond that, e.g. pronunciation won't improve without focused effort - you need a tutor or youtube videos on the topic.

Still, great improvements can be made in niche areas - know you are traveling to Scotland for holiday? Watch video or two about the accent differences, few movies and you understand 95 % in no time.
I also use Ubuntu and have no problems with printers and scanners and bluetooth. As annoying as Ubuntu is it does work out of the box for everything I've thrown at it

"Paid" is a spectrum. Hulu has paid (with ads) and paid (pay more to remove ads). Windows is probably being sold at a loss, and ads make up the difference. So no, it isn't enough to stuff a dollar in Microsoft's shirt pocket and expect to not see ads.
> It does have to be collusion, otherwise competition to keep prices low

Competition works half as well as people think it does. It’s long shown that companies will see collective price rises for products even in the absence of direct collusion. Most products don’t trend to being sold at-cost, which is what you’d expect in this case. Why do any products have any product margin? Isn’t every product margin an opportunity for competition?

> I’m claiming that it is not to the detriment of the consumer at large.

I don’t know. I personally haven’t noticed inflation much but we’re talking about it an awful lot for nobody to be affected. The people affected the most are the people who can least afford it.

> Even if it goes to “shareholders” or “executives”, or “private equity”, either they are hoarding it (increasing everyone elses purchasing power) or they are investing it (spending it on someone elses wages).

Trickle down isn’t real. Lots of money gets spent in ways that doesn’t effectively help wages. Money does get hoarded, but it’s not enough to be meaningfully helpful at purchasing power.

Really really depends on areas.

In the US, there was clearly a consolidation where the big corporate run restaurant groups were able to weather the storm better nationally in the early COVID days.

However, pretty quickly in NYC by say summer 2021 the industry seems to be back and stronger than ever. Everyone was dining indoors again, they kept their expanded outdoor space, maintained their new more extensive to-go services, and did it all with reduced staff never seeming to re-hire their pre-pandemic staff levels.

NYC restaurants are once again annoyingly crowded and hard to get reservations to, with eye popping prices compared to 2019.

So great for restaurant owners but not great for employees.

That said, the wages being offered are crazy compared to 2019 and they are still unable to fill roles. So one would take it that they've found better employment prospects elsewhere, so good for them.
I'd be more excited to use GPT to draft a summary of release notes by scanning all the new PRs in a release, summarizing what they are, and dividing them up into categories (bug fix, feature, breaking changes, etc.)

Perhaps they're making it worse for people on HN, but better for the average user?
Working hard implies the labor theory of value, which is that all work is interchangeable. While that might have been closer to the truth during the first industrial revolution, the variability in the value of labor has never been higher than today.

It's comforting to think that those that have achieved the best outcomes in life have simply sacrificed time spent on other things, and spent more time on work. There might be some truth in that, but often they have had better opportunities, due to both circumstance and luck, that they also have made better use of than average.
Having a look at gridwatch.co.uk now and then is very telling.

Electricity generation is mostly gas and coal has been reactivated. As I'm typing coal supplies 4% of electricity, wind 3%.

We're hitting a key issues with renewables like solar and wind. This is winter in the UK, we're not going to get a lot out of solar and if we hit a calm patch (there's been little wind lately) we're pretty much screwed.

I've been writing software for 30+ years and I think the reason methodologies don't work is that they are simple. Software is an attempt to implement something that will be used by people, interact with data, help make decisions, and much more and the real world is extremely messy. People want software to work one way on weekdays and another way on weekends, and differently if it is day or night, across multiple timezones, and in multiple political locations. They want it to know their workflow. They want it know things people know, like the weather or things in the news or specialized knowledge domains. So I think the main problem with methodologies is they do not address the fact that people use software, and all current computers and software are very poor at fitting into human life, desires, and expectations. AI is starting to change that a little, but there is much more to do before computers fulfill their promise. Methodologies may help along the way, but new inventions are probably a greater requirement. Methodologies are how developers interact with software and each other and management, and they won't solve the problem of how software interacts with people and the world. It's the elephant in the room.

> She is showing off the perks as she does her job, we don’t see the parts of her doing her job other than he briefly touching on when she is in meetings and the like. You are assuming she isn’t doing work but nothing in the video proves it.

Maybe, but the assumption is based on the video her own video. It's not based on her being a woman. Any dude that posts this kind of video would meet the same criticism. And since Twitter laid off a huge chunk of what appears to be dead weight, it's going to get attention.

You're reading too much into it trying to ascribe sexism where it doesn't exist. Women can be criticized just like men can, that's equality.
It used to be 2x number of parameters, so about 350GB.

Facebook came with an optimization a couple months ago so it takes only half the memory, so about 175GB for GPT-3, not sure if OpenAI has implemented that yet.

BLOOM, which is around the size of GPT-3, though not as good currently, works with these optimizations and should then be possible to run with 8x 24GB consumer GPUs.

Huggin face has a nice blog post on this

https://huggingface.co/blog/hf-bitsandbytes-integration
As a native speaker of English, when someone asks me that I do try to express how I am, but I know my response is being interpreted relative to a baseline of how people answer this question. If I'm having a rough day I will answer differently from how I would on a good day. But while doing this I'm balancing all sorts of other considerations: how much time I can spend away from other topics, whether I want a closer or more formal relationship with the other person, what they want, etc. I modulate my response relative to the communicative baseline, so my interlocutor, if they're fluent, can infer that I'm doing well or poorly, I'm in haste or willing to take some time, that I put great stock in the my relationship to them or little.

I think this implicit communicative baseline is a huge, invisible barrier to communication among people who are apparently fluent in a common language. You can still understand the question as serious and answer it honestly conveying how you are to the speaker, and have it come off as fake or formulaic to people not aware of the baseline. I'm sure this is true for all languages. The problem, of course, is acquiring a knowledge of these baselines and the context in which they apply is extremely difficult, often even for native speakers. The native speakers find it difficult to introspect about this and explain why they interpret things as they do. Because it is invisible to them, it is difficult for them to teach this to someone else. And it is difficult for them to realize someone else is not doing this and therefore not be offended by non-natives, or people with ASD or whatever, not communicating relative to this baseline. A Dutch person saying something bluntly isn't "just being honest". They are just comporting themselves relative to the Dutch baseline. A Japanese person using non-confrontational polite formulations isn't being dishonest. They assume you are familiar with the Japanese baseline (while not necessarily even being aware this is their assumption).

I think it is common for people to believe people from their native culture come in all sorts but people from other cultures all have personalities in a tight range. They're all lazy or wily or emotionless or angry or cold. I think what they're perceiving is the way one communicative baseline deviates from another. They take this difference as a deliberate, communicative modulation away from their baseline, the honest, neutral one. To them, the other person's neutral state is not neutral. They always speak as they they're angry, say, or in a hurry, or trying to deceive. It is analogous to the way people perceive themselves as having a neutral, invisible accent and all other people speak in some quirky way.

Illegal immigrants don't use banks at all.

And I have paid for cars and expensive things in cash myself because I value my privacy.

If crypto is banned and kyc and cash restrictions take place I will be forced to work with shady people and only hope they cause more harm to this messed up society that wants to take my liberty away. I would gladly fight in or support civil wars for this cause.

Since the dawn of civilization, it has been a right of a free person to own what they want and barter it or exchange currency for some item.

The governmemt does not get to understand or track what sources I get money from. Before the internet, no government cared so long as we paid taxes on all our income.

Find another way to prevent "shady" stuff which fyi will not be deterred one bit, criminals would trade rocks as currency backed by a bigger criminal before letting this bullshit stop them. It's my unaluenable right to not be forced to do business or hand my earnings by default to a third party company be it banking or insurance. May society burn before that happens.
I can't believe this got to the front page and that you're being downvoted.

There are currently insurmountable materials science limitations, and even the materials that come close are not currently possible to manufacture at scale, or even assemble (one carbon nanotubes does not necessarily have the same properties of many carbon nanotubes) at scale into structures which will withstand the structural stresses. I believe this is not necessarily true for other celestial objects besides the earth
That's understandable considering the sudden demand spike that's ultimately because of the war. People aren't extra interested now because they want something more environmentally friendly, it's pure economics. Using fossil fuel wasn't expensive enough before since the external costs aren't factored in, so now when Putler has driven up the price of gas and oil people learn that there are alternatives, and now many of them are cheaper as well.

My question isn't "why aren't you switching now", it's "why haven't you switched during the previous 20 years, when we've all known about climate change"? And on top of that there's the strategic issue with relying on Russia.
I've never had that happen to me in 20+ years of using and updating Windows. I suspected it's an urban legend but when a friend told me they experienced it with a feature update in Windows 11 I inquired further:

It turns out during the first startup after a feature update in Windows 11 (and 10) they sometimes show a bunch of new prompts, one of which is a very vague text with a big (default) "Recommended Settings" and a very small, differently rendered cancellation.

If you're one of the folks that just presses next / enter through a wizard without reading the instructions (which my friend was), you might have accidentally applied the "Recommended Settings".

And -of course- switching the browser to Edge is "recommended" by Microsoft.

Shitty dark pattern for sure but at least not forced settings change (yet).

> Can’t “workers” also be shareholders? If not in their own companies, then at least in any publicly traded company. The world isn’t cleanly divided into “worker” and “owner”. People can be both.

Yea but most people aren’t. Lower-income people barely have retirement accounts with index funds in it. The people that are “owners” in a meaningful sense are not workers.
> Everyone struggles with iTunes. And every update makes it worse. I’ve used it on Mac and Windows and both suck

It's technically no longer even there on macOS, thank God. It was becoming a sort of kitchen-sink dumping place, and I am glad that I can now manage my iPad through Finder (though I still wish I could just treat it like any other bulk-storage device, as I can on Windows, at least it's there). There are apps called "Music.app" and "TV.app", if I want to access my music and videos the Apple way, but I can and do just ignore them if I don't want to use them.

There are probably a multitude of other features that were in the old iTunes app that I never even noticed or have forgotten, but I think that a lot of users who used to be forced into using iTunes on macOS now can avoid both it and its replacements.
I just use it like Windows 98 and scroll through the list to find the program. It works.
