Albert Einstein alluded to the issue in 1949.

"Private capital tends to become concentrated in few hands, partly because of competition among the capitalists, and partly because technological development and the increasing division of labor encourage the formation of larger units of production at the expense of smaller ones. The result of these developments is an oligarchy of private capital the enormous power of which cannot be effectively checked even by a democratically organized political society. This is true since the members of legislative bodies are selected by political parties, largely financed or otherwise influenced by private capitalists who, for all practical purposes, separate the electorate from the legislature. The consequence is that the representatives of the people do not in fact sufficiently protect the interests of the underprivileged sections of the population. Moreover, under existing conditions, >>private capitalists inevitably control, directly or indirectly, the main sources of information (press, radio, education)<<. It is thus extremely difficult, and indeed in most cases quite impossible, for the individual citizen to come to objective conclusions and to make intelligent use of his political rights." [0]

I'm curious. Isn't low open rate pointing to the fact that people don't want to read what you send them? How is this marketing email different from spam?
Just speaking from experience, GAN upscalers pick up artifacts in the training dataset like a bloodhound.

You can use this to your advantage by purposely introducing them into the lowres inputs so they will be removed.
Noone is waking you for your stop lol.
The layoffs too date are much smaller than the Covid-era hiring. Certainly a bit of a correction. But otherwise spending and jobs overall are still strong. So... which way will it go?
This is very similar to the scaling problem with Etsy. What started out as a way for creative people to make money from their quirky local crafts is now a marketplace filled with duplicative factory-made junk you can often also find on eBay or Amazon.

Lately Airbnb has tried to combat this obvious degradation in quality by highlighting high-end stays at unique properties that can cost absurd amounts of money (screengrab: https://imgur.com/nDu8tpL), so it looks cool but they know actual demand is low.
Drivers should keep in mind that they control their own mirrors. In most night driving situations, one doesn't need to see behind anyway. Rather than enduring a tall truck shining its super lights into one's eye via mirrors, just adjust the mirrors to point toward the lights back to their source, or even a couple feet above that source. Instant relief.
My mom got Alzheimer's at age 58. She was trim, ate organic, exercised daily, never smoked or drank, and had a happy social life.

She was always a super light sleeper though, and had her own room because dad would wake her up at night. I wonder whether her brain's lymphatic system was working.

Only other thing that stuck in my mind is not long before her symptoms, she had like six metal fillings removed and replaced with porcelain all at the same time.

Her aunt got it early too and was a health nut juicer for years who lived a healthy lifestyle.
> I recall reading about retailers using license plate scanning in their parking lots in the early aughts.

Yep, that technology is called ANPR - automatic number plate recognition. Outputs a license plate, state, date/time, and gps coord of scanner.

> They also pick up the unique IDs from the wireless air pressure monitor chips in your tires.

That's called TPMS, tire pressure monitoring system. There is 1 device per tire, which emits temp, pressure, serial#, and other data. You can decode this for yourself with https://github.com/merbanan/rtl_433 and a RTL-SDR.
FSD requires you to be 100% in control of the vehicle for the entire drive, and paying full attention to the driving, and also do nothing.

This is demonstrably not a task that anyone can do, let alone Joa[n] Average car driver. Highly trained pilots are not expected to do that, and that's when autopilot is being used in a vehicle that can provide significant amounts of time to handle the autopilot going wrong - seriously, when autopilots go wrong in aircraft at cruising altitude pilots can have 10s of seconds, or even minutes, to handle whatever has gone wrong, Tesla's FSD provides people a couple of seconds prior to impact.

That said in countries other than the US people can reliably use trains and buses, which also means that they don't have to intervene in driving the vehicle.
Just stick it in the rear light or in the tire.
I concur! Currently going thru some occupational health issues, sitting and stress related and I really have thoughts to completely quit IT. The positive side is I'm debtless with savings but at what cost.
This is Google we're talking about, they'll randomly decide to retire Youtube completely out of the blue one day.
same experience trying to find videos that answer a technical question - there's no immediate gauge on whether or not the video's useful, and it's easy (and often automatic on YouTube's part) to hide any comments with a negative sentiment
Agreed re: movies, though some have been cropping up there recently, and in really good resolution too. I watched "Glengary Glen Ross" for the first time in my life last weekend on Youtube.
Human Error by Raymond F. Jones (1956)
It shouldn’t be worse
I know a Tesla owner. The chance of death (well, a crash anyways) is more like 1%, according to him.

Those odds are good enough for the occasional trip home from a cocktail party, but hardly cost-competitive with Rideshares/Taxis.

How many 9's do we need before we can say it's reliable enough to trust it? A few more, for sure.
OP asked about ChatGPT, which is not GPT-2, it is GPT-3.5 based with a secondary training regime
I know Kroger (or QFC) has been doing this for ~6 or 7 years. My wife would start getting targeted ads for things that were in areas we lingered around for more than a few seconds.

FWIW Lowe's does the same exact thing. Probably IMEI harvesting but IIRC Lowe's is looking at or has implemented facial recognition. If not to identify your face outright, at least to see what you're focusing on in-store.

More reason to shop local at the hippy stores. Or start gardening.
In Seattle, high end bikes are targeted to be disassembled for components. The components can then easily be fenced for drug money.
An ad in the Times
YouTube for the things I enjoy has improved dramatically because the comment section is vastly improved. Everyone used to use YouTube comments as an example of a comment section dumpster fire, but they fixed it.

I've seen the recommendations get better then worse then better again as they tweaked the algorithms. Right now it's better than it's ever been. Again, for me.

One complaint: I like to upload interesting clips from this or that. I got my first copy right strike on a clip of Russel Brand talking to Terry Gross of NPR about life on heroin because I thought it was helpful for people. YouTube told me I could only get 3 strikes before they disabled my account, which I assume they mean they will disable my GMail. I can't have that so I don't upload interesting clips anymore. In fact, I don't upload anything since I don't want to lose my GMail. So the complaint is why didn't YouTube tell me when I uploaded it that I couldn't? I'd be ok with that.

So I give Ms Wojcicki a people choice grade of B+ overall
Seems like they should come up with a new phrase to distinguish between making modifications to the car at a dealer or service provider vs. a downloadable update, right?
How does one make a great living by being a guest on free podcasts? And which fringe outlets are we talking about? Joe Rogan? He has more viewers than CNN.
the newer (8+) iDRAC's are nice now that you can point them at downloads.dell.com and it will figure out the updates for you
They might if you live and work at the end of the line.
My hope is that coming AI can be used to help better discern and classify content. Essentially, "prewatch" videos and help filter spam. I would love to see incentives for creators reset towards making quality content rather than sensationalized content. So, so fatigued on the stupid thumbnails with surprised faces and shocking claims and they are everywhere from home repair guides to physics tutorials.
If one's bike is stolen in the San Francisco Bay Area, there's a small but significant chance you can find it for sale at the Laney College Flea Market (e.g. [1]).

It seems like there is a huge disconnect between people who know about FSD from using it and people who know about FSD from things they read on the internet.

I have FSD, I use it every single day. I love it. If every car on the road had this the road would be a substantially safer place.
Sounds like an Twitter discussion. Maybe even pass the Turning test:0
That's not how it works in practice.

In practice you pay 40% or more in taxes and the person who wants to get professional help, still uses private services.

Universal health care is only for the poor
Good to know! I'll have to go look up what the threshold for an 'urban county' is now, thanks.
Taking the bus is pretty close, just don't sleep on another passenger / through your stop.
I'm more worried about companies forbidding third party cables or bricking cables you own. "Sorry, this cable was only licensed for 100 charging cycles. Please buy a new one, for your safety of course."
> I still run on a boring old 60 Hz 1080p monitor

This is surprising to me. I really enjoy 4k for the better text readability.
After having a Tesla with Enhanced Autopilot for 4 years, I decided it wasn't worth the $7,000 extra and stuck with ordinary autopilot.

It's just too damn glitchy to be worth thousands of dollars extra.
> why does America not do this?

By now I'd have expected most people on HN to understand the relative roles of the US federal and state governments, and not make gross generalizations that are easily disproven. But, you're a green account, maybe you really are new.
Just like the shorts panel, they will show them again. It's inevitable.
> to continue to innovate

Like they innovated by blatantly ripping off tiktok and added "shorts"? Yeah best if they just stay exactly what they are.
What makes AI systems special or different here than any other computer program?

"how should google search behave, and who should decide?"

"how should experian credit score determinations behave, and who should decide?"
In one sense this is correct and why I personally stopped caring - what are they going to do with 5 years worth of my choice of cream cheese and apple varieties?

But for other people it may be more revealing, of medical conditions, life changes, etc, especially when combined with other datasets. You moved from a one bedroom to a studio, started buying half as much milk and twice as many frozen pizzas, and take cars to restaurants less? Sorry about the breakup, here are some dating app ads.
> One thing we'd share with any alien species is our perception of the universe, and stars and galaxies are eminently countable, so the development of numbers seems inevitable.

I don't this is immediately obvious. There is an assumption here that stars and galaxies are these inherently well defined things, therefore they are countable. I don't think that's necessarily true.

Where does a galaxy really begin and end? Or a star for that matter? If there is a solar flare occurring and solar matter is being ejected into the surrounding area is that matter still part of the star?

We have this faculty which seems to be quite good at taking complex systems and approximating them to singular entities (planet, star, galaxy, table, audience, country), we can reason about. It seems to be a core aspect of human cognition but I'm not sure if this is a prerequisite for cognition in general.
It's relative. A good plumber with his own small business might make half a million a year. A bread factory probably makes in the low millions, if they're anything like the small businesses (eg. box factories, hot tub supplies, auto repair shops) I know. Google makes $60 billion, and Goldman Sachs makes $11B. That's 5 orders of magnitude.

Plumbers and bread factories make good money compared to salaried W-2 employees (even compared to Googlers, sometimes), but this again is a risk/money tradeoff. When you choose to work for a big company, you are trading off the risk that your efforts will be useless vs. a guaranteed payday that lets the company keep all the rewards if they're successful. In software it's trivially easy to make the opposite risk vs. reward tradeoff: just incorporate the company yourself and get acquired, in which case you get nothing if your efforts are unsuccessful but keep the full market value of your product if they are.
To be honest... good riddance. Her tenure will probably be remembered for YouTube's slowly increasing decline into irrelevancy among the young enamored with TikTok and Instagram, increasing and significant censorship misfires (the moment almost every creator has to mention Content ID and the YouTube algorithm or the community guidelines, you've screwed up), the removal of the dislike button despite overwhelming negative feedback to the change in what appears to have been a method of placating advertisers, and the total butchering of YouTube Rewind into a corporate affair before finally giving up.
The new Bing will happily give you citations for a pile of nonsense
I remember some of the best youtube content I've seen was less than 10 minutes in length, like short animations and other content which took a lot of time to produce in small amounts.
Maybe some non profit news organizations are objective?

I make an effort to get my news from a wide variety of sources, both inside my country (USA) and from around the world. As a result, the Democracy Now organization seems to most closely agree with these sources, mostly because they cover some topics that are effectively censored in the USA.

Often MSNBC and Fox News are not so guilty of lying as they are guilty for strongly filtering what information they surface.
A short story that I just read and found very timely again with the advent of LLMs.

"In the near future from a 1950’s perspective, the first space station, in orbit around the Earth, gets knocked out of orbit due to pilot miscalculation. The subsequent disaster, with shuttle and space station crash landing near San Francisco, creates a public furor calling for the end of the space program. General Oglethorpe, the earth side base commander in charge of the space program, recruits Dr. Paul Medick, an expert in psychology and psychometrics, to head a new project: to eliminate human error. Oglethorpe is certain that men can be made to be more mechanical, operating with the same reliability of the machines which they operate.

The government had spent one billion dollars to convince the human race that men ought to be ashamed to be men—instead of being cybernetic machines incapable of miscalculation.. But they did not consider that an error less man is a dead man."
When I had the luxury of taking public transportation to work, I did wake someone up once.

I personally can't fall asleep on trains.
That's a nice looking case! Seems like it would be especially good for a router or networking box. In the course of my build I found out about PlinkUSA and Sliger, who both have a few decent 2U options for those of us who don't want screaming server fans.
Lightweight data monitoring using rrdtool
if you read Johnson's work, it's typically both. Direct fructose consumption as well as the polyol pathway being on and your body converting 'extra' glucose into fructose.

excess fructose (in particular in ultra-processed forms) causes metabolic derangement but consuming too much of those other 3 esp from ultra processed foods, also activates the "switch" leading to endogenous fructose production and more derangement.

The role of sedentarism in all this is somewhat under-explored though.
Khan academy videos are one of the best examples for this.
When I learned to drive my instructor taught us a trick for when you're on a narrow road and are being blinded by oncoming headlights.

In the US, most interstate highways, and often roads, will have a white line painted down the right side of the lane. Or you'll have barriers, or some other consistent delineator between road and not-road.

You can often focus on that line when headlights approach and not lose your bearing even while being blinded.

I've never forgotten that tip because it does work, and I use it almost every time I need to drive at night.
If you're letting yourself get used like that not once but multiple times I don't know what to tell you lol. Do you also give money freely to scammers on the street?

Why would you not report that? Airbnb would bring the hammer down on that host so quickly it wouldn't be funny. I'm serious, they would not tolerate that whatsoever and would get you compensated and moved to another property.
> The total trip time including charging ends up being 3 hours. The same trip sans charging times is under 2 hours.

Hey, super. Show the trip and the car. Let's see it.

> So yes, I will agree, ABRP does simplify things. I couldn't imagine having to deal with finding the charging stations and planning out my route without a tool like that.

Good. So there was nothing for you to argue about from the beginning.
I think this analyses is very apt. It also reminds me of the old saying "small companies make it possible, large companies make it cheap".
Well, how could they be happy? The government is turning the frogs gay and trans trendergenderererds are the antichrist come to ruin our lovely homeless-free society!!!111
That's a good point.

I've also thought of a structure where there's a news organization that's just openly biased, the prime directive is listed on the front page, and each news article is explicitly edited to explain how the article is presented to support the main mission of the organization. Maybe could link to refutations to keep the appearance of honesty.

This of course falls into a funny counterfactual scenario that I don't have a clever term for. "In the world where this solution is possible to deploy, the problem doesn't exist". If you could staff an entire news organization that was so dedicated to exposing its own bias, it would mean you had a critical mass of adults in society that were actually concerned about the truth, and you could just do news the regular way.
Who should decide seems important. All of this is at the end of the day controlled by OpenAI right?

I wonder is there a way the AGI could be instructed to weight all of our preferences equally?

Seems vital so we end up with something in the interest of all of us and not something we just have to hope the few entities controlling AGI do the right thing, given historical precedent of the risks of entrusting systems that are supposed to benefit all of us to small groups too.
LEDs are a lemon market where the only people making profit are those who ship lemons, everyone else gets pushed out of the market.

The luxury days of installing an incandescent bulb that lasts for ten years are gone, lucky to get six months out of "contractor grade" LED products and consumer devices usually don't make it much over a year.

Sure, burns a little less coal, but its not like LED manufacture and shipping is as environmentally friendly as beewax candle production LOL. Overall we're probably worse off as a civilization with LED lighting.
I should've been more specific — I do that on my gaming/secondary PC. My main Mac Studio setup is run through a 27" 4K LG display (which is also at 60 Hz, though).
Was there a particular part you were suspicious of?
As I understand it groceries are high volume and low margin and the logistics are nightmarish (getting the wrong stuff at the wrong time, left holding the bag if something goes bad) - whats your plan for dealing with that?

On that note - is reusable containers going to make your endeavor cheaper and easier or more costly? What does a cheap gallon of milk in your area cost vs what you think you'll sell at? Curious if you'll compete on price alone or if your target audience are the people irritated by plastic use and willing to pay on that.

How are you sourcing? Mostly I want to know whether you'll be able to get product that itself isnt coming in disposable packaging.

Neat project, I wish you luck!
Then that's not PWM; they cheaped out on the power supply by not including capacitors to smooth out the 60 Hz AC waveform.
I have mixed feelings about Perl. The documentation tends to be in a style that prevents quickly scanning it. Instead you have to read dense text to make sense of things. For example: https://perldoc.perl.org/IPC::Open3

If you want to quickly figure out what the parameters for open3 are doing, you are forced to read through the description. It reads like a casual conversation someone is having with you, lecturing you about the function, dropping some important information here and there without any clear direction.
It's still not the curriculum that CMU teaches its students. Self-studying through it will not give the learner anything remotely similar to the knowledge a CMU student majoring in CS gets.

For ambitious autodidacts hoping to do something like Scott Young's MIT challenge, this is crucial information to have.
Knowing how software engineers write code - I would never ever trust my life to the BS that is FSD.

It is not so much software, as well as <other people on the road> problem.
> (Nearly) zero down time is a common requirement.

Are we still talking about small to medium web apps ? I'm sorry but if HN goes down things will be OK. In fact, there is a very large majority of services that can go down go down and things will still be OK.
I have yet to find a decent 16:10 4k monitor. :(

So for now I’ll keep my ancient dell 1080p displays.
Spotify's catalog for Indian languages is smaller than Youtube. Not only is YT Music's collection larger, the recommendation system works better for Indian languages too. I have been that the autoplay follows the mood/ type of the song better than Spotify.
If speculating is a waste of time then this sub-thread is spectacularly pointless (and against HN guidelines btw). Think before you post.
no entities control AGI because it doesn't exist.
I'll take correlation or causation for $100 Alec.

More seriously the article doesn't really provide compelling argument for causation in either direction.
It does that by making a global location (/usr/local) user-owned, which I'd say is much worse.

This is a junk study. Here is the link: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S000291652...

If you look at the evidence hierarchy, this study is at the lowest form of evidence (it's a narrative review -i.e expert opinion), they didn't even run a study.

The ultimate study would multiple randomized controlled trials showing sugar/fructose when controlled for calories, causes increased Alheimer's disease. Since we haven't seen that, we should not draw conclusions.

As the saying goes 'correlation does not imply causation'. We don't even have correlation yet, the headline is an overreach.
Mathematics is a branch of philosophy. ISTM anyway. Always thought so and it just seems obvious.
Yes because AirBnb hosts will surely follow the law and local ordinances this time…
Deliveroo has just done the same.

They are laying off 350 people mainly UK tech based. At the same time they are still hiring in India.
