yes, and that is more of a lobbyist paper aimed at policymakers, it refers to some TNO studies as the "scientific" basis for the claims, but those studies are not publicly available, at least they're not linked directly in the references section, and searching for them also doesn't give immediate results. the other thing they refer to are "simulations" which have little value in proving the statements. otherwise the whole thing is a confusion between causality and correlation. as it stands i consider this a bullshit paper pushing some political agenda, possibly by induction heating manufacturers or electricity companies.
How many low income people can afford Viking ranges? They are ubiquitous in wealthier households, at least those with good taste.
When I was in my last round of job hunting as a data scientist, a recruiter approached me with an offer to interview for a job in "kill chain analytics" for a defense contractor's drones.

I noped the hell out of that asap.
I don't agree with this, like strongly.

What is web3 actually? I don't think there is a definition people can agree on. So even bashing web3 as if it is anything other than at best a vaporware, worst case a scam, is fruitless and not grounded in reality.

Let's talk about the current climate in AI part. From his tweet, he seems to point to Sam Altman's statement that GPT-3.5+ is going to 'civilization transformation'. Well, if you follow Altman's past statements, he likes to make grandiose statements like this, and at the end of day, it is more of his personal style of speech than anything else.

So let's back to the comparison of web3 vs GPT style AI agents. I would argue, the latter is indeed, partially already a reality. Imagine if you have a multiple modular in-context learning agents, then here is the opportunity: A machine that is programmable through natural language and examples/demonstrations. The level of automation potential is going to insane, even scary. What if we hook it up with some robotic arms? If someone makes this work, we will have a factory that can make many many things, at the same time, in the same place, with little human involvement. This, of course, is going to fundamentally change wide range of industries, or capitalism itself and will have geopolitical implications.

True, and thanks for reminding me! I've meant to watch it for some time now and heard that the second season was out.

Have you watched it/did you like it?
Apple and Google own the platforms. The browser doesn't really matter, so everyone goes with the default that's installed. I guarantee that if all Android devices and Chromebooks came with Firefox by default, and Chrome was not installed, then Firefox would be the dominant browser right now.

> Isn't this what Microsoft got sued by the Department of Justice over?

They were integrating the browser into the OS, wouldn't allow alternative browsers to be installed, and took actions to get websites that would work only on Windows (notably with ActiveX). We don't really see that today.
>I believe that the that fundamentals of crypto are incredibly useful and will eventually be adopted, and have been in meany places, but all the web3/NFT/etc stuff (whatever that means) is just useless hype and ponzi schemes.

Could you elaborate? It's been 15 years since the bitcoin paper and I still don't see where the game changing commercial applications of crypto are beyond the black/grey market uses for which it has already been adopted.
‘Having a will’ is the central matter.

Most new atheists I know deny the existence of free will, as it is a super natural phenomenon under most definitions. Since it is impossible for a being to prove or disprove the existence of their own free will, it becomes an act of faith to accept that will exists.

The intelligibility of being itself and the professed existence of will (again, if you believe in free will, you have a faith of sorts) point to a mind (because will requires a mind), this mind is a facet of the mystery that people call God.

Knowing where someone stands on free will is a good starting point :)
That's the point, it isn't. Just like reducing your carbon footprint is good for climate change. Is that an effective way of dealing with climate change? No.
I'd love to see work along these lines, and hope to talk with Cart soon. However, I'm stretched thin as it is, so certainly won't be leading any such integration work. My main goals for 2023 are to get Vello in real usable shape, and there's quite a lot to be done there (the roadmap is in draft and will be published soon, probably today).
You have it backwards. The Dems aren’t bringing race into it, they’re framing the issue in a way more likely to garner support from their fellow Democrats and base who care about helping marginalized communities.

You see this a lot with Supreme Court cases where the legal teams form their arguments specially to be persuasive to a specific swing judge.
> Few people are willing to rehash old discussions - so few people want to discuss why Bitcoin is/isn’t like tulips.

Society at large is wildly different than the discussions from here on HN, but at least here, discussions about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general, tend to generate very large discussions, lots of them are about why cryptocurrencies is/isn't like tuplips/beanie babies/$hyped item.
The water remains frozen on the dark side. Maybe there is so much water that enough sublimates to rain out at the terminator? Still, it is poor pickings.
I became an engineering manager for a few years. I swung back into an individual contributor role. Turns out I don’t like management either.

I was good at it. I was being groomed to take on a CTO role. But it wasn’t for me. Programming is hard. But for me people are harder.

If it’s possible try going back to the role you like and see if they’ll hire a manager.

Extremely expensive taxi medallions were only a thing in a handful of US cities. Most places don't use the medallion system at all. The irony is that "democratising the supply side" has in many places lead to worse supply than there was before.

> When something is disrupted, it doesn’t always mean the disrupters will win or even stick around. Sometimes that’s not the part that matters.

I thought it was fairly commonly accepted that ends don't justify the means. How a goal is achieved absolutely matters. My local taxi companies were already providing app based booking, payment, and tracking. Uber came in, burned a shitload of cash and ultimately harmed society by doing so. Now prices are higher than the small companies they buried with VC money, yet they're still burning ungodly amounts of money.

Personally, I don't think that type of "disruption" is of net benefit to anyone other than early investors. The destabilisation of the market sector and eventual deterioration in quality of service cause far harm to customers/society in the long run.
Keep in mind that just because you're good at management doesn't mean you have to do it professionally. Stay purely technical if that's what you enjoy!
I don't think he was making that argument. Someone who climbs mountains every week is less likely to be hurt in a given mountain climb than someone who doesn't but that doesn't mean that the best idea for safety is to climb mountains often.
Yes. I am saying the whole concept of public health and safety (as well as information security) is based on the observation that you can't just "tell people to change a behavior". It's like saying that electrical rules in building codes are overreach, because people can just avoid touching exposed wires.
The author made decisions to put herself in dangerous situations. What does that have to do with seatbelt laws or food inspection guidelines?
Can you recommend a large cast iron griddle that 100% works on induction? That's no joke the biggest sticking point for us right now. The closest we can find is "square frying pan" style. The 2 Lodge griddles are double sided, which isn't guaranteed to work on induction because the bottom surface doesn't sit flush with the glass.

You can't replace pans when there are no induction friendly replacements.

Edit: Edit: Nevermind, I was wrong.

Power consumption summary

> The Ryzen 5 7600 / Ryzen 7 7700 maintained around a 70~71 Watt average with a peak of 91 Watts while the Ryzen 9 7900 maintained a 73 Watt average and similar peak of 92 Watts. This is much lower than the Ryzen 7000 X-series parts and much lower than the Intel competition -- the Core i5 13600K meanwhile had a 95 Watt average with a peak of 167 Watts.

Performance / efficiency

> If taking the geometric mean of all 300+ Linux benchmarks conducted, here is the positioning of this assortment of Intel and AMD CPUs. The Ryzen 9 7900 was at 95% the speed of the Ryzen 9 7900X (while on average at 66% the power consumption) and was still fast enough to come just ahead of the Core i9 12900K Alder Lake processor. The Ryzen 7 7700 was at 96% the speed of the Ryzen 7 7700X and nearly matching the Core i5 13600K performance. The Ryzen 5 7600 lastly was at 96% the performance of the Ryzen 5 7600X while tieing with the prior generation Core i5 12600K and the prior Zen 3 Ryzen 9 5900X. When factoring in the CPU power consumption of these "65 Watt" parts, the performance is all the more impressive especially compared to Intel's real power figures.

I think they hired the Raw Therapee guy as branding consultant.
As a resident in a newer condo build, I’d just like windows that open more than 2”.

I have a corner unit where the windows on one side don’t open at all.

I guess it cuts down on their building-wide HVAC expenses by treating the building as airtight and thinking filtration and powered-venting will solve all problems.
The point is those communities have higher rates of asthma and pollution exposure, and banning gas stoves (might) reduce it, by reducing the risk for everyone.

That's easier to do than fix the underlying problem that causes that increased asthma risk.
Any ideas on why miniwasm performs better on all the benchmarks except "trap," on which it performs decidedly worse?
And they used twins as doubles in many cases, instead of CGI. One is the security guard in Sarah Connor's prison (in some shots his twin brother acts like the T-1000), and yet another case is of course with Linda Hamilton and her twin sister.

A fascinating practical effects scene, cut from the theatrical release, is when Sarah is removing a chip from the T-800's head in front of a mirror. Instead of using CGI, there is no mirror but a hole in the wall, where you can see actual Arnie and Linda Hamilton's twin sister acting as the "reflection"; the people closer to the camera are actually a dummy (or a double with heavy prosthetics for the hole in the head) and Linda Hamilton. This means they are sync'ing their movements to simulate a mirror!

https://youtu.be/wrDo7wVXrBQ?t=122

(I understand this was done both to avoid showing a camera reflection on the mirror, and also to avoid using a dummy for Arnie's face, which worked in the original Terminator but would have been too noticeable for T-2's era).
I would add that since you are "head of the department" I feel that your bosses trust you enough to run with you if you just tell them that what the department need is a full-time manager.

You are also in a very privileged position of defining the role of that manager. You like some managing tasks? You can keep them. You can even make it your hire, and hire the kind of manager you want to help you with these tasks. Since you can recruit yourself, that person will have some loyalty toward you.

I think you are in a very good position to build your dream job from scratch. Just do it my dude :)
Please keep it. It's useful for many people as I can tell from this thread.

While I have your attention (hopefully), there's a bug where if I use the hide link on any page other than the first page, the stories that pop up at the bottom to replace the one I just hid are from the first page stories, not from the page I'm on. I think it's a pagination bug.
According to Jonathan Haidt in the righteous mind, western cultures value autonomy, so the behavior is well explained by this.

The thing to realize is that this means translators are being replaced by AI. If a translator can reduce time per translation by 50% because they're just doing a proofread at the end, that means they can do 2x more work/half as many translators are needed.
Name sucks, but I don't mind the look. Afeela bit like re-watching Minority Report after seeing it.
On what would we base this regulation? A hazy feeling of discomfort?
When I worked on a vegetable farm in Vermont one summer, it was instantly apparent that the farmer spent a lot of time (at least 25%?) maintaining and fixing tractors. It’s a shame that rampant financialization and rent seeking has yet again made farmers’ lives more difficult.
Exactly. If I'm listening to a podcast on a specific subject matter, I want discussion of that subject matter. I don't want 30 minutes of irrelevant back-and-forth about personal issues by the hosts before they get to the relevant stuff (or, even worse, tons of filler interspersed with the relevant content).
Well, some time ago, I applied, there were some coding(?) interviews, but everything dropped when I read the contract. There were clauses that were highly unfavourable for me (give up right to court, high penalties for infringement). The infringement conditions were too generous for my taste and not negotiable.
Yeah like I'm reading The Radiance of France about the French nuclear industry and there is no way a blog could be nearly as informative. A blog would be good for a few quick highlights though.
They've paved over the rails in the 90's, but a few bus routes are still powered by the overhead lines. I forget the numbers, but one of them starts at the Frankford transportation center.

Limited Run Games fires community manager over their Twitter account
I find it fascinating how different the cooking is in Europe vs. US. at least in my limited experience. I've seen multiple apartments across Italy where the kitchen is a small, separate chamber with a door where the resident will get a skillet red hot, drop a piece of meat on it, and open the window. This would be unthinkable in the US - it would set off every single smoke detector in the house. Maybe it's not cause and effect, but just an emergent state - it's difficult to do this here so on average it doesn't happen? Or people tend to have grills outside for this sort of thing? I don't know.

In our house the stove is located centrally and I dread to think how we could retrofit an exhaust for a true venting hood. All we have is a fake hood with a grease filter above the stove.
The topic here is the word game defrost and now you promote. Does "tidal lock", absent further detail, imply 1:1? Yes.

This could actually be useful and "polite" when you are in a full elevator. Often times there will be a packed elevator going to ground but it needs to stop+open+wait+close on every floor even though nobody can fit in. This just reduces throughput and can make rush periods stretch on for a long time.

I've always wondered if elevators code detect when they were full and avoid stopping for outside requests. Some combination of total weight + weight change could likely be a heuristic that improves performance overall.
Imagine combining this with a ChatGPT with the prompt "you are a telephone scammer pretending to be a bank employee, convince the other person to give you their bank password"
I’ve done a decent amount of white water and stories like this make me shiver. If you’re in moving water, standing is surprisingly dangerous. Float or swim (depending on the current) to calm water and get out there.

If you stand (and especially walk) in a fast current, you’re asking to get your foot caught and then drowned.
Then there's also :wqa and :xa, which are like :wq and :x except they apply to all open buffers instead of just the current one.
I have heard root and rowt when referring to roads in the US, but I have always used rout, and I think I have heard it more commonly used than root.

No, we are comparing the best action movies of then with the best action movies of now.
Tangentially related, I've had some success Googling constants before. For example, I once got interested in the constants in the Harris-Benedict function for estimating basal metabolic rates. By searching for these constants, I quickly found the original text and some other interesting related material.

This approach generalizes to strings as well. In my field of computer networking, you're an easy search away from finding out what 0x0800 means with very little context.

Searches can also work for numbers that don't look familiar. For example, you'd immediate recognize the first few digits of π, but you might not so easily recognize π²≈9.86960440109.
I almost drowned on a beach without surveillance, jumping into the surf waist high, for fun, until suddenly the receding water pulled me just a few meters further away and now I couldn't touch the floor anymore, and was slowly being pulled further and further away from the beach. My girlfriend of the time was on the beach far enough away that she couldn't hear or grasp that I was struggling. By luck and after perhaps 10 minutes of fighting, I managed to move sideways and forward by persistence until I could touch the ground again and walk out. I was completely exhausted and I'm not sure how much longer I could have persisted like this. Just as I exited a few locals were arriving in haste for me. Apparently they had seen me struggling to come back. I'm guessing they had witnessed tragedies there before, because whereas my girlfriend hadn't picked up that I was in trouble, they had.

My concern would be the same as with a Junior Dev. It's fine if they don't know something but please don't bullshit/make something up. Maybe tech questions are immune to this but it doesn't seem to have any conception of true and false.

This is a silly example but I asked for a list of Star Trek references in Seinfeld and it gave 6-7 examples that all sounded genuine (Jerry makes a joke about transporters in the Contest episode) but were 100% made up. If I wasn't super familiar with the show I wouldn't have been able to tell most were invented. With code generation that's less important because we have ways of testing code for "truth" but I would worry about relying on any factual statements from the thing.
OK. So the clause trade groups suggesting is just ad hominem noise. Maybe your point is that making cooking appliances more expensive to improve them in one dimension is worthwhile since it is greater than a person's benefits in some other life dimension.
Obviously the ultimate test is: Can it run Doom?
There was a 2011 paper/essay which argued that in the near future there will be a world war between those wanting to regulate AI (the democratic West) and those who do not (authoritarian regimes).
Reminders was one of the biggest improvements when I moved from Android to iOS. I don't know why Google is so bad at reminders, and maybe it's different now but for years there were various implementations of reminders across multiple apps and services. They sometimes seemed to sync but it didn't seem consistent, and they had different feature sets. It never felt like there was a centralized hub for reminders, it was always just tucked off into ugly sub-menus in various apps and would occasionally move around. I think I used to mainly set reminders from a Google search, where if you phrased the query as a reminder you'd get a little widget at the top of the result with a pre-filled reminder, and you'd click the check to add it. But then at some point they broke that and I can't remember if they ever fixed it. Not to mention the outages that seemed to be not uncommon[1].

Apple's reminders feel like a godsend by comparison. It does exactly what it needs to, and syncs flawlessly between my phone and Macs. I can set reminders through Siri, and it even has a really intuitive way of setting date/time for reminders, where you just type, e.g. "tomorrow 5pm" and it'll highlight the text and give you a suggestion to make the reminder happen then, you click it and it yanks the text out and populates the appropriate time. You can even set reminders to appear when you're messaging a certain contact, and it'll appear within the Messages app in that contact's conversation. And it got even better with the new lockscreen widgets in iOS16, where I can see my reminders for the day front-and-center on my lockscreen. I gotta give props to Apple for their reminders system, cause I didn't even have any sort of expectations in the first place, but it's continually impressed me and become a consistent part of my daily routines.

Key difference I think is that Ai while overhyped will definitely have an enduring impact at least partially. With web3 etc that part was less clear
