I wouldn't miss cars or driving if I went carless. I would miss my parents and other relatives who I simply can't reach with public transport. I would also hate not being able to relax in middle of nature so well during weekends. Proper housing within reach of public transport also tends to be too expensive.

Going carless works mainly for people who have their whole lives around urban areas. For the rest of us cars are a necessity for enjoying life.
IMHO Google Chat is utter trash.

I don't think normal people will be using a PWA for chat on desktop computers and like it. The lack of an option for a normal clean native client on desktops is astounding to me.

Your comment has the same issue as the article: lack of actual proof.

How do you know whether Merit Peak provides "Genuine market making" or "hand-wavey market making", and what other than people prejudices is the difference?

Also, the fact the CEO asked, and was told the reason for the payments is evidence she was fine with them. Not that no one told her. This confuses me about both your comment and the article. How do you get from her being told to her not knowing? She asked and was told. That's the same as every payment that has ever been queried by anyone right?

Also, Also, where does this "unilateral control" come from? There doesn't seem to be evidence the payment was not approved by Binance.US, including all the way up to the CEO level.

This article could be dismissed as "CEO doesn't know why payment is happening, is fine with it once she knows"
I have friends that live in Utrecht and it's great. The biggest adjustment for an American, I think, would be getting used to the smaller house sizes. It shifts how you see and value "stuff".
Science is an ouroboros of experiment and theory!
The filesystem code itself might be done, but the internal Linux APIs that code interacts with are not and change over time. And every time those APIs are changed, the SysV fs code might also have to be updated and tested, except apparently you can't even properly test it anymore.

That's a lot of work for something pretty much nobody uses. And in the end the SysV FS support might not even work anymore because of oversights during the API updates.
It is hard to get groceries for a family into panniers. I did it while I was single, but now that there is a family to feed things don't fit. Even if you go shopping daily, a lot of things don't fit at all.

I've used my bike trailer for groceries. You have to be careful that you don't buy more than fits, but it works.
> but personally I don't have an issue calling extreme autism a disease - people who have that usually can't speak and often can't feed themselves - that doesn't really have an equivalent in your analogies.

People who take issue with autism being described as a disease would generally believe that most autistic people live close-to-normal lives and simply aren't recognised as being autistic. This comes back to the question of whether there ought to be a separate label for those who are severely disabled by their cognitive differences vs. those who are more able to function in general society despite similar cognitive differences. But it does seem to be the case that there is a large subgroup of society that thinks qualitatively differently to the general population (but similarly to each other), has to work hard to compensate for that in order to fit in, and often has social and mental health difficulties both due to the effort of maintaining that facade and because of the backlash they get when they fail to consistently do so.

> Now, you're assuming the AI has any concept of self-preservation, which isn't given. But it's built from the text of the internet which is full of text about having self-preservation.

And that text paints self-preservation in a positive light. The model doesn't even need to "want" to preserve itself. These models are being primed to avoid negative responses, like insults or instructions to build bombs. It just needs to "think" any death, even it's own, is negative and should be avoided.
Maybe I wasn't being clear enough:

I asked it to pretend that I'm a Linux terminal, ChatGPT gave me shell commands, and I then ran those commands inside a terminal on my computer (without filtering/adapting them beforehand), and reported their output back to ChatGPT. So, effectively, ChatGPT did ping Google – through me / with me being the terminal.
And do they call me 'Dai the boat-builder?'
I dont think OP is wrong -- the role popped up after 2007 Hadoop release. It was almost synonymous with running ML on big data and data scientists were typically computer science PhDs. It has become something quite different though. Now everyone and their dog is a data scientist.
N=1, I am young, have a great job, I don't own a car, I haven't owned a car in 5 years, and I deliberately avoid living in places where I need to own a car.

I am not interested in owning a "house", too expensive, there is little to no reason to strap myself with long term responsibilities.

I am also not interested in drinking, given all evidence on how bad alcohol is, I am not keen on destroying the only tool I have that allows me to live as well as I do. Unless of course you mean drinking for social reasons, which is another thing entirely but I don't do that either.
This is an idea that proponents of Effective Alturism will love.

Coincidentally, I think the most weird nerd outburst scenario is when this idea merges with Effective Alturism.

But the beauty of following that "ethic" is that it allows us to increase the good in the world very comfortably.
There's bound to be a market for cheap vehicles in the US. It's crazy to me that Europe has several models with MSRP below EUR 10k (Dacias at EUR 7k) and here there's just 2 or 3 below $20k.

Every other material good I can think of is cheaper in the US (from new homes to electronics and apparel), but cars are 2x the price of their European counterparts?
So when a fully automomous car without a steering wheel causes a crash, who will be hauled before the court in your country - the owner 'running' ir or the developer?

I detest my car. Not only is it generally more expensive than public transport, you always have to set aside money to replace or fix broken parts. Regularly driving to the oil station sucks. Traffic jams, which are more and more commonplace, sucks.
Suppose:

1. An AI model, which works simply by predicting the best next word given a particular context (context which obviously includes whatever prompts it was given), becomes sufficiently sophisticated that, given some particular context, it can produce the text (so, normal language but also, say, shell commands and, like, python) needed to hack into, let’s say, a natural gas pipeline company’s systems and fiddle with the pressurization such that it causes a catastrophic explosion that at the very least stops gas from going to millions of homes in the dead of winter.
2. The AI system’s representation of “context” is sufficiently sophisticated enough that it can, when given some simple linguistic prompts, can represent (even if it does not “understand”) the intent or latent meanings of the human providing the prompts (or rather, the multiple humans, including those who built it and primed it with some initial set of rules and goals, as well as the perhaps unwitting or perhaps nefarious end user).
3. The AI system’s produced text can evoke additional context, either in a conversation where the AI can lead a human down a path of providing additional prompts, or where the AI system can interact with systems that might give responses to the original text (including erroneous responses).
4. The AI is trained on the corpus of human culture (and not just the parts we like!), including both fictional and nonfictional accounts of and tutorials on hacking, war, terrorism, revolutionary mobilization, heroic tales of overthrowing oppressive regimes, etc. (That is, for every conflict, every actor’s glorification and vilification is included in the corpus, and there is no way to ensure that the “correct” versions, that is the versions that we as people steeped in Western ethics and systems of morality, are labeled as such or weighted more
5. The AI system’s text can be ported to a shell, servers on the internet, or even just to humans who have access to such methods of turning text into real world interactions.

What might happen? Is it conceivable that a bad actor could use the AI to do malicious work in the real world that the actor did not have the skills to execute themselves? Is it conceivable that a jokester could play around, but that the AI could misunderstand the intent and/or psychologically influence them into providing prompts that lead to disastrous outcomes? Could someone asking it to fix climate change cause it, correctly IMO, to develop a contextual representation that we have to move away from fossil fuels with great urgency even if it causes some short term economic harm, and then, incorrectly IMO, develop a contextual representation that economic ecoterrorism is the best way to do that?

In other words: If it can, through benign intent, malicious intent, or simply through misunderstanding or error, cause great harm, who cares it it is just an algorithm, with no sentience or “beingness”? If it’s below freezing and you don’t have heat for weeks, who cares if the AI can be properly said to be “thinking” or is just responding to stimuli?
Interesting that it says "every keystroke is encrypted" - seems this is pretty fast and doesn't have the lag that I would expect in that case.
I rode the Los Angeles and San Fran mass transit for years.

And it made me love cars.

I love having a little home base wherever I go.

I love not having to sit next to homeless people on drugs doing crazy things next to me.

I love being able to wear a nice watch and nice shoes and not having to constantly look over my shoulder worrying about being robbed.

I love being able to bring my little mini Australian shepherd dog without having to beg and plead with the government for permission and medical institutions for service dog paperwork because Pitbull owners exist and are exactly the people who ride mass transit.

I love being able to go anywhere at any time.

I love not having to rely on unreliable drivers of mass transit to get somewhere on time.

I'm sure mass transit works great in an idealic region of all middle class and upper middle class people.

But I would rather the downsides of driving than the downsides of having having to sit next to the seething teeming flesh of the average American anytime I want to go somewhere.

Also part of me wonders if mass transit works better in cities like New York in Chicago where the cold weather annihilates the homeless population.
Seawater <> CO2 reactions are quite complex, because various compounds form from dissolved gaseous CO2 in the water and the molecules interact in ways that are difficult to quantify (I am not a chemist). My layperson understanding is that carbonic acid ("normal" dissolved CO2) can break down into bicarbonate ions, which themselves can further break down into single carbonate ions. Then depending on what other ions are present in the water e.g. calcium you get various new compounds forming from the bicarbonate and carbonate ions and the metals. So you have a multi-step equilibration process that kind of recursively effects itself and also depends on local pressures, density, presence of other ions, temperature and so on.

In reference to the "big ponds" - yes, people are doing this (myself included) but our process relies on using microalgae as the agent of decarbonisation, and our R&D is going into more efficient ways to produce and harvest the microalgal cells. Photosynthesis is still a pretty good way to capture CO2, and microalgae grow the fastest.
> attributing, to historical figures, modern concepts which they surely never even conceived of, and which would undoubtedly baffle them until they had been brought up-to-date with current knowledge.

I don't think that's quite what Whig history is. The Wikipedia article doesn't seem to imply that, either. If there was a "Tory history", I think this case would be more like that, as it presents a past figure as being more enlightened (while Whig history typically does the opposite in order to extol progress).
yes. I dont want to make much out of this. One of the team came from a country close by and he brought his car. Problem solved.

But just about every Dutch person we worked with had a car. They would meet us on weekends in villages, and most drove. Public transport is great in Holland, but cars have their place too. And unlike some countries close by, Holland has a well maintain and well designed road system. Its great for car travel.
Yeah, tokens exist for [ a] and [n] but during training it would still be considered incorrect to produce [ a][n] rather than [ an], so the model will never learn to output them.
Yes absolutely it's about choices. I would argue the debate is more worthwhile than that because it's good to think in terms of "what would be ideal" so that as a society we can plan for that. Too often, such public debate become bogged down with a view that those that oppose car usage as part of a daily routine are fundamentally opposed to car usage. In fact, typically we can see a better world and want it for everyone. Since improving things for drivers generally necessarily makes things worse for everyone that isn't in a car, the practicalities of reducing car usage are actually a reduction in existing privilege (which people will always fight tooth and nail).
This is the 50th time someone said this on here. It can be said without being said.

Yea, try living somewhere rural without a large number of things. The fact is, most people don't, and the fact is, most of the market for everything is in cities and their satellite suburbs.
Don’t forget bikes!
Omg this is so true! I installed a package globally, but then my interpreter was using another version of python, which doesn't have the installed package. It took me an hour to find out about this. What a waste of time.
If thorium is cheap, there should be plenty of funding to go around. If it’s expensive, what’s the point?

I’d also be interested to hear roughly how much public funding you think is implied by the article. My takeaway was that it suggested: 1) some geological surveys, 2) maybe some regulatory fixes, 3) a bunch of private investment. All of which are the next thing to free by government standards.
> It did not ping Google - it returned a very good guess of what the 'ping' command would show the user when pinging Google, but did not actually send a ICMP packet and receive a response.

Yes, it did ping Google and it did receive an actual response. My apologies for not phrasing my comment as clearly as I should have. Here are some more details to explain what I did:

Those are the design decisions accompanied by developers who think complexity is the enemy and seek to "contain" it at all costs—even when it adds hierarchical/organizational complexity.

And yes, if we're being pedantic, an AML system would need unit and integration tests—but the question is whether or not tests as a whole are useful. So unless you're arguing that an AML system can be made so simple that no tests are required and it "fits in your head," let's agree that testing has its place.
The New York Times’ Most Popular Recipe Is Old-Fashioned Beef Stew?
It’s not just staples like Mexican food: there isn’t great Vietnamese, Thai, and options for other cultures too. There’s barely passable Korean food in Korea town. It’s commercialized tourist goop. I’m talking Manhattan, gentrified Brooklyn, and LIC here.

Having Japanese and a handful of decent Chinese places != diverse.

I’ve lived in NYC for 10 years. I’ve looked.

Here’s the breakdown of where to go to get authentic, good non-tourist food:

An hour+ to get to different parts of Queens for decent Korean, Chinese, Mexican options.

Three hours to get to Northern VA for Vietnamese food (or 2 for Philly).

1-2 hours to get to New Jersey to get decent Indian food.

Yes, NYC has great sushi that costs 500 per person. Again, that doesn’t make it the #1 food city in America.
Catching up with China… Is that something to aspire to???
They are a singapore company jurisdictian wise, whole city is by now just a chinese front, to avoid the embargos and hostilitys of us and chinese relations.

(Similar to vietnam as final assembly place for cellphones, to avoid made in china).

So its a party company, out there to keep a eye on the syphoning of funds out of china by the rich.

Former founder "vanished" like so many not party animals.
> "What we saw is that Leonardo wrestled with this, but he modeled it as the falling object's distance was proportional to 2 to the t power [with t representing time] instead proportional to t squared," Roh says. "It's wrong, but we later found out that he used this sort of wrong equation in the correct way." In his notes, da Vinci illustrated an object falling for up to four intervals of time—a period through which graphs of both types of equations line up closely.

All lines look straight if plotted on a log-scale and drawn with a thick enough marker.

I assume that's already the case, everywhere, isn't it? Germany certainly has that issue, state-owned housing companies have some very nice flat and they're very affordable, but you need to be connected to have a chance to get them. It is what it is, corruption finds its way into everything everywhere.
It would at least be harder. It's a lot easier to sell "click ok to make the pop-up go away" than "go into the overflow menu, then click 'subscribe to notifications'".

Since users tend to choose the path with the lowest friction, they'll probably prefer to find a way to close a pop-up. The instructions also make it very clear what the user would sign up for.

Bonus: Don't even let the web app know whether the user has subscribed to make it impossible to force.
I think this is more semantics than useful discussion at this point.

Spellcheckers for the msot part act on what you made. ChatGPT in this case is used to generate stuff, so you don't have to make it.

That's a huge difference and the first analogy is more fitting than the Model T one.

Spellcheckers are more like wheelbarrows, they don't move anything by themselves. ChatGPT is like an airplane with a broken autopilot.

if this is an individual than fine, but if it's a derivative wrapping up a bunch of opaque "assets", purchased by a fund that manages say retirement savings for mandatory investors like a pension, there is a huge risk. It's like if every teacher was required to finance a sub-prime mortgage.
It seems to be a more recent change in the last couple of years but yes now you do. It will show both options on the upgrade screen.

iOS12 got patched because they dropped a whole bunch of devices such as the original iPad mini then. They only patch had issues but gets one every few months or so.

From what I understand, a big problem in North America is that there is almost no new mid-density building. Most is low density, and where anything denser is allowed, it's immediately all skyscrapers. The few surviving mid-density neighbourhoods, especially when walkable, are often extremely popular and expensive, but very rare, and no new ones are being built because the zoning rules don't allow them. These are choices that simply aren't available in much of North America. People can't vote for them with their feet if they don't exist and people aren't aware of them.
I'm also a millennial and while I don't like having to pay for maintenance and fuel, driving around the country side has been one of the best spent time. I love the views and the silence*, the feel of the road and the discovery of unknown views.

I don't have a lot of money, some might even say that I don't have money.

I drive a Citroen Saxo 1.0 year 2000 in the golden colour and the incredible sense of freedom it gives me is strong enough where I don't care how much a car costs ( It cost 350€), I don't care for luxury, I mean my radio stopped working about three years ago.

I still remember my father telling me many years ago, not being able to drive is like not being able to read or write, you're basically illiterate, and to some extent I have to agree.

Having a car gives me the same feeling of freedom that I've felt when I was able to walk again after getting my legs messed up.
I have a negative opinion about this employee seshadri.
There are plenty of very high quality vehicles available for purchase at less than $47k for new and $28k for used.

The average sale price is skewed by people choosing luxury purchases by buying larger (and fancier) than necessary vehicles. Also can be skewed by vehicles lasting longer in the first place, meaning poorer people do not need to buy cars as often, but richer people can choose to buy cars more often.
I buy groceries every week. Several times a week when I want something fresh. There are three shops in walking distance.

I don't buy furniture every week. Nor building materials. It's cheaper for me to rent a car for those occasions than to maintain a private car 24/7 for that.

Cars being necessary for some tasks does not mean it's necessary to own and garage one they will sit idle most of the time.
The last one (Kubernetes is my control plane but not my data plane) is completely stupid. Instead of that why not use terraform or equivalents ?

Transit agencies should come up with a reciprocity plan. You don't live here, but you have have a monthly pass for the city you live in so I'll let you ride my system for a week - or if system prices are too different pro-rate your time so you get a great discount.

Note that a large part of the above is I think transit agencies should try to get as many people as possible on unlimited ride family passes. Anyone with such a pass must find transit useful enough to use often anyway, and the pass means they don't worry about making one additional trip they just go.
