So, "about" twice as much then? ;)

This whole thread is very funny this morning, I was posting at 3AM and not thinking much. I am happy to be corrected, the more I learn to know here the more I learn I don't know or can't immediately recall. I damn this fickle lump of head thinkmeat, but praise the enlightened hive mind of internet commenters!
I always wonder why we don’t use decoys more. Have seemingly tipsy girls stand waving their phone around for a cab and a cop a few feet hidden away. Then stiff penalty. It’ll make people think twice about whether their “mark” is legit.

Same for bike theft…

I believe OpenAI has included an GPT detector. I read it has ~ 99% confidence. https://huggingface.co/openai-detector/. It's still a question to me how they can implement it in mass, but the technology seems to be there.

of course if the model gets more robust + paraphrasing tools, it's going to get harder for the detector to work.
Note on the sinusoidal encoding, the reason it’s used is generally speaking twofold:

1 - To encode position somehow (which author details)

2 - Because sine is easy “noise” for the network to learn.

There’s also a bunch of cool tricks here even down to the PyTorch implementation to optimize this encoding by exploiting the nature of sine/cosine which is an added reason for its popularity in Transformer architectures. If you like math I recommend diving into it as it’s quick but fun!

(Side note it’s also falling out of fashion for other encoding methods. e.g. rotary positional encoding is vastly popular in the reformer branch of transformers)
You can sort of justify "the Amazon River" as "the Amazon river" -- i.e. the river that happens to be in the Amazon rainforest. The other two don't really act like "adjective + noun".
I can go to iCloud.com in a browser and ping my phone’s location. They may not be initiating these pings or storing the data, but it’s well within their capacity.
They also pollute the air, make too much noise, and take incredible amount of space. The vast majority of cars are clearly not needed, they are desired.
Yes, but how does this relate to Plan 9?
I don't know if I'm too concerned about that, to be honest. Yeah, there's a huge cost in terms of training the LLMs, and then there can be a cost for downstream inference, but I think it depends on the use case. In some cases, performance is the absolute top priority; in other cases, you might be willing to trade off some performance for better inference time, or model size, etc. If you need to put the model on cell phones or offline low-power devices, that's a key constraint that might make you reach for a different tool.

The nice thing about more "classical" approaches -- a simple BoW random forest or MLP, for example -- is that they're typically quick to train and experiment with, and they make for great baselines, if nothing else. So I doubt that we're in danger of people forgetting about them entirely. If people do, they're leaving quick, easy solutions on the table.

I do like your idea about triaging inference between smaller CPU vs. larger GPU models based on whatever signals. I haven't tried that before, but a project my colleagues worked on did some triaging between regex pattern-matching vs. model inference. Basically, the regex pulled some of the data out first if it matched very specific, known patterns, and then the rest was handled probabilistically. I guess the effectiveness of that sort of triaging approach depends on how strong and clear your signals are that let you choose one path over the other.

First of all, your interpretation of "identity" is structural, "the current state of the WeltAufbau" - f(x,P)=y where P you call 'identity', but others would call more a "personality" (philosophically) or simply, rephrasing the above, "the current state of your Belief Theory" (in technical logical terms).

An "identity", in this context, is structurally more like a "loop" into a "role-playing referencing". It is not just that "such is the inner form of the function", but that the "function took extra assumptions intentionally".

Intellectual care is a basic intellectual duty, it works in the said "current state" framework, and if leaning into checking the risks of "identity" can be formulated as «"be aware that you may have unchecked sides"». That does not mean that "anyone would have an attachment to a perspective" - they may just have a de facto, flexible perspective, without the cageing attachment.

We already have too many dogs and cats. We destroy them all the time as it is because people cant be responsible for them. It is exactly the "fulfill their natural imperitive" excuse that already leads to way too many dogs and cats.

I think most soft devs seems to be dissing ChatGPT because they don't see it being useful. It probably is not for them but as someone that is tech literate but can't program for shit I think this is great for people like me. I have been using it to improve my bash and python scripts. Most of the answers it gives are probably are already available on the web but asking a question and getting a correct answer is amazing.
This random source on the Internet [1] suggests most car miles are single passenger. Just looking out my window (main street in average American town) this number looks about right. So for the vast majority of passenger transport the car is not the best choice.

Bad time to be pushing this crap with the Linux desktop wooing the gaming/ power user overlap crowd now that steam deck is on the

I have been using Windows my whole life but now I have a PC dedicated to Linux for the 1st time and I'm thinking about seeing one up for my wife, as I'm sure Linux will be perform better on the older laptop I'm considering 'upcycling'.

Depends where you were going. What I mean is that you can start a small language with shaky fundamentals, but when you try to grow it to take over it becomes a problem.

But yes, if the goal was to grow then it's a bad place to start from.
Agreed. I've occasionally tried using frameworks to generate ideas - none of which passed my sniff test. The really good ones come in the shower, so to speak.
In my head, the future history of car like transportation will be something like: horse, gas, battery, gas. The second phase being "fully green" gasoline — perhaps via air reclamation?

> Imagine there're 20 trucks charging at 80kW

That slow? This is a half of a single average wind turbine.

Tesla already has supercharger sites with over 50 dispensers capable of 250kW. In the UK gridserve has built a charging site with a 10MW solar array, battery storage, and 350kW chargers. Fastned has many 10 x 300kW charging sites in west Europe.
Three Essential Remote Work Practices for Engineering Teams
Near where I live the majority of Tesla supercharging stations are connected to fuel cell < - > natural gas gizmos, so in fact what you're describing is already done.

Commercial power billing is typically for the peak draw of an installation over a period of time, so there's huge incentive to chop the tops off of these peaks with fuel cells and batteries.

The DC Fast charge power requirements are enormous and I'd be surprised if more than a small fraction of gas stations had direct grid ties suitable for reasonable DC Fast charging.
If you use a WM with multiple named workspaces/tags - it is nice to have a key binding to run a terminal with a startup script (instead of the default shell) that creates or attaches to a tmux session with same name as the currently active workspace.
>the modern upper class that wearing a $2k Rolex or driving a $70k BMW is frowned upon.

There was a time, not that long time ago in which good clocks were expensive and expending 2ks on a good clock was similar to expending 2k on a laptop today, a functional, reasonable decision.

My uncle earned a much more expensive Rolex than 2k in a Golf tournament and wearing it nobody believed it was genuine, even a watchmaker could not differentiate it from sight, there are very good Chinese knockoffs for cheap anywhere.

Also, after quartz oscillator clocks, a 2k clock does not work better than a 100 one.

People spend their money on whatever they see fit. One of the great things of having money is having freedom in your life but few people knowing that you have it.

In places like Spain or France people do not admire you for having money, on the contrary they envy you, and you better not show off. Also gold diggers and interested parties like banks start to harass you all the time. And criminals what to take it from you by force.
I recommend Soft Skills Engineering: https://softskills.audio/

The hosts give advice to real problems sent in by listeners involving non-technical issues in the software engineering workplace, such as dealing with problematic co-workers, how best to develop your skills into seniority, how and when to negotiate a pay raise and how to prepare yourself for moving to another job.

I don't think every episode is extremely useful since a lot of the solutions for workplace related problems can be drilled down to "look for a new job and quit your old one", but the hosts are very charismatic and funny. And when they do give good advice it's always something I've kept in mind which has occassionally helped me in my own job.
I think learning at that age for some people is not going get anywhere (at least for me). And this is not about giving up. It's about being adult is about not giving a shit to a lot of thing.

Learning language process is about > 50% mimicking / copying. I didn't realize until I graduated and worked with a British boss first time. I realize that 90% of schools in my country have taught english wrong all along. In school, they still teach student to mix and match a sentence on their own which is WRONG, resulting in weird non real world sentence with correct or incorrect grammar. Good speaking comes from listening to tons of real world audio / conversation / encounter any arbitrary context. This is akin to the process of training neural network. Good writing comes from reading a tons. And then we start to write and speak like those english speaker.

So at this point my english skills won't going anywhere because my adult's mental model commands me to stop mimicking and copying. For example, this phrase sounds good but I hate it and I won't use it: "that being said, ..." which sounds nonsense to me as non-english speaker, I prefer "however" which sounds mediocre writing but it's a straightforward meaning. Think about it when you translate "that being said" .. it doesn't give a twist hint at all, it sounds like "something is stated" that's it. Excuse me for long whining.

If you want to catch a MLB game ball, you have to a) attend a game, b) pay attention to every ball hit, c) practice actually catching a ball, and (for some) bring a glove. If you're particularly savvy, you can even purchase tickets for seats in an area to where balls are commonly hit, and if you're determined, you can go to lots of games.

However, you're only getting that ball if it's hit in your direction. You can attend hundreds of games and still never have one hit close enough to catch.

While missing one or more preparation steps (e.g., attending a game) may rule out the possibility of catching a game ball, for every person who does catch one, there are dozens if not hundreds of people who prepare at least as much and still never do.

>I think we underestimate the extent to which not capturing petty thieves influences people's trust in "the system" in general.

The biggest reason I've stopped voting for democrats is because of this. If you ever experience being the victim of a crime in a city/state run by democrats it's a slap in the face how little the police care. Hit and run? "Submit a report online." Have a meth-head living in your garage and they're screaming violently for hours? "Call the non-emergency line--it's not illegal to be crazy." This can't be a effective way to run a city, but in California it's the norm.
Pure trash. Be yourself, emulate whoever you want (or no one). Do what feels right.

Life is too short for such ridiculous minutia.
I really hope hardware keys keep working as people move to passkeys though.

For a while you could just execute another binary, it would run without restrictions imposed on the (pledged) parent. This is a stark contrast to Capsicum, where the monotonicity (ie the fact that once you loose the permission to something you'll never ever get it back, unless being explicitly passed it again) is one of the fundamental assumption behind the design.
I agree with your first sentence, but starting with "Probably will get slammed for this" always hamstrings the rest of the post. It sounds superior, like you're painting yourself as the underdog fighting for truth.

In fact, you might be surprised by how many people agree with your first sentence, taken literally. One thing I think is generally misunderstood about this is that the result of the revolution wasn't, "all women should work" (this is usually an uncharitable characterisation made in anger), it was "women should be allowed to work without being shamed". However, there was of course no mirror movement, where men wanted to leave the working world. So, over decades, this naturally caused the market to shift, making life financially harder and harder for those families with only one worker. That's what caused women to have to work. It wasn't an idea.
As conventionally defined, yes. The "first factor" is traditionally a password (or in the modern world, maybe password+working_email_address).

~250-350kW 800v chargers are the current top-dog DCFC charger systems in the EU, US, and elsewhere and they're increasingly common.

Pairing stations with "local" battery buffer is a thing, as it reduces the need for local infrastructure upgrades and the systems can also help pay for themselves by acting as part of a 'virtual power plant'.

The issue here is HNers not being aware of what's being done and what is being developed in these industries...
I hate having to waste time a couple times a month driving to a gas station to pour stinky stink juice into my wife's car. It's filthy, smelly, and a huge waste of time.

I much prefer plugging my car in in my driveway (I'm lucky to have a driveway; lots of car owners don't) and I basically never think about fueling my car or range. My car charges on a 20a / 240v circuit (IE a totally normal one that didn't require a huge amount of effort or expense to install).

As an added bonus, my car's more pleasant to drive, quieter, and costs way less per mile driven.
Citizens United doesn't matter. What matters is that companies are vastly privileged compared to humans, eg they don't bear criminal responsibility for anything.
I get what you mean and I agree to an extent, but to give an absurd example, if you knew of a company that had a patent on cold fusion, and you had watched it actually work yourself and deployed it at scale in a project successfully, investing in such a venture and having an outsized return would have absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with probability.

nuclear energy generation is "cheap"? Are you sure? According to e.g. [1], it's the most expensive power source and getting more expensive each year. It's probably "cheap" due to all the subsidies and the conditions on the subsidies setting certain prices.

Sure, it didn't help shutting down nuclear reactors prematurely but building new ones certainly is not the cheapest strategy.

Providing electricity for EVs can be a much higher business than selling EVs (where batteries make them more expensive than ICE cars), as electricity/km is cheaper than gas.

The hard part is compatibility of all EVs with the charging stations, where segmentation might be in iterest in some car makers for the short term, so that's the only part where government intervention can help, but it has improved since the early days as far as I know.
> Maybe it shouldn’t be that cheap (since it’s probably being externalized somewhere)

I mean, there's four main pieces to this:

- Injection moulding machine

- Mould itself

- Raw materials

- Disposal

The moulding machine is quite expensive until you amortize across the number of produced pieces. Most of the time these aren't custom-built and can be used to make multiple patterns.

The mould is also quite expensive and is made for one specific part. To your point, this is why things get cheap when the design doesn't change. They will eventually wear out, but from a high quality mould you should be able to get roughly a bazillion of these consumer plastic parts.

The materials are ridiculously cheap. Polyethylene, as an example, is $1200/metric ton: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1171074/price-high-densi.... I don't know exactly what a laundry basket weighs, but I'd guess somewhere in the 500-1000g range, so somewhere between $0.60-$1.20 worth of plastic.

The recycling at the end is the part that isn't really baked into the price. A quick search didn't reveal much as far as the costs for recycling/kg, but did suggest that recycled PET seems to sell for more like $0.20-0.30/kg. This, to me, suggests that either it needs a fair bit more processing to make it into "useful PET" or that whatever recycling process they use requires minimal energy & processing compared to the initial chemical inputs that made the plastic in the first place.
