There's been a few different efforts along those lines.

Free standing wing sails are surprisingly practical. They can be designed to be self trimming: that is you set a control surface once and then it tracks the wind so long as the ship doesn't make a 180.

But as cool as that technology is, it simply isn't economic vs burning the cheapest oil available.

Because international waters are a no man's land pollution wise, most freighters burn extremely dirty but cheap oil, ie bunker oil. This stuff is so thick it often needs heaters to liquify it to get it into the engine.

So long as that externality is unpriced, sail augmentation simply won't be interesting to ship owners financially.
Then they can use devices and operating systems with that philosophy. A Linux sysadmin absolutely can and should be free to do whatever they need to their company’s servers. Instead people are angry about the existence of any consumer device with barriers to arbitrary code execution.
Marvin, the suicidality depressed robot from Hitchhikers Guide, was apparently a Microsoft technology from 2023. Who knew?
Both. It lived off an assumption that the magic compiler generating perfect assembly ideally fitting architecture will come out, and so CPU can skip the whole "crap" related to assigning incoming instruction stream to CPU's execution units. Which just didn't worked in practice.

Current approach of CPU being basically an optimizing compiler that takes assembly in and generates uops to drive whatever execution units the CPU has might be wasteful silicon wise but... caches are much more transistors than this anyway and it allows CPU design to be separated from incoming assembly and so any improvements there are instantly visible to most existing code.
Not all of them. Regulations and decisions yes, Directives no. This one is a directive.

"Regulations and decisions become binding automatically throughout the EU on their date of application. However, they may require changes in national legislation, and may require implementation by national agencies or regulators."

"Directives on the other hand, must be incorporated by EU countries into their national legislation.
Each directive contains a deadline by which EU countries must incorporate its provisions into their national legislation and inform the Commission to that effect."

source: https://commission.europa.eu/law/law-making-process/applying...

That doesn't mean they have the right to ignore the directive and not decide on a law but there is definitely more leeway.
Aluminum holds its value
Not sure if this is going to happen or not.

It would need to become significantly cheaper to run in order to decrease prices.

My prediction is, that they will start offering specialized applications. ChatGPT for marketing, chatGPT for coding, ... and they will have different prices because the perceived value will differ.

They literally have all the data they need for that because they just had 100 million user show them what they use it for.
Interesting article! Thanks for sharing.

This is the second launch for NotesHub! We listened to your feedback and a lot of things changed since the first release:

- Kanban boards
- Native applications for iOS, macOS, Android and Windows
- Support for FileSystem/generic Git/iCloud Drive notebooks on supported devices
- Move/copy your notes across folders/notebooks
- Hierarchical structure instead of flat section/note which gives you more control over where to store your data
- Bread cramps on desktop for better navigation in the app
- Bug fixes and numerous improvements

Most importantly we have many ideas for future releases. The next big thing will be drastically improved markdown editing experience, so stay tuned and leave your feedback.
It's ironic that you reference Nuremberg, because the Nuremberg trials actually make exactly the opposite point.

> The future will never have to ask with misgiving, what could the Nazis have said in their favor. History will show that whatever could be said, they were allowed to say. They have been given the kind of trial which they, in the days of their pomp and power, never gave to any man. But fairness is not weakness. The extraordinary fairness of these hearings is an attribute to our strength. . . . The United States has no interest which would be advanced by the conviction of any defendant if we have not proved him guilty on at least one of the counts charged against him in the Indictment. Any result that the calm and critical judgment of posterity would pronounce unjust, would not be a victory for any of the countries associated in this prosecution.

You want to compare ensuring a fair trial to the Nazis "just following orders"? Okay. What is your alternative, then, other than unfair trials? How is that justice?
FWIW, these are items that they are working to improve with things like keyword generics and defining a clearer async api so that it will be possible to swap out executors in the future.
If they had a run where half the blocks are bad, would they sell it as 16 GB, but with only 8 GB usable?
They were everywhere. Every search I did showed podcasts at least as prominently as music, for example. I don’t remember the details, but I think they even did popover ads in the app trying to get me to start listening to podcasts. On a paid account.
Since there are no 17 GB modules (to my knowledge), they would have had to combine modules of different sizes. The f3 output in the article also states 16 GB for both drives. The old drive already only exposed 14.9 GB (GiB) of usable space. So it seems to me that is is only a quantitative change, not a qualitative one.

Phones are actually worse in that a mere OS update can decrease the amount of free space, which is something that presumably does not happen with USB drive firmware updates.
This a common fallacy deriving from having low level knowledge of a system without sufficient holistic knowledge. Being "inside" the system gives people far too much confidence that they know exactly what's going on. Searle's Chinese room and Leibniz's mill thought experiments are past examples of this. Citing the source code for chatGPT is just a modern iteration. The source code can no more tell us chatGPT isn't conscious than our DNA tells us we're not conscious.

I'd bet it's because your new one uses an MBR partition as your tools show you clearly, that indeed both sticks are 16 GB sticks
Clearly the internet should be wireless all the way to the server which even has wireless power. No outages(!)
complexity you can wrap, seaborn style, trading some flexibility for an easier API.

the real "competition" is, I believe, d3.js and visualization grammars built on top of SVG and d3 (vega, vega-lite) that allow amazing interactivity for non-technical users.

you can integrate matplotlib nicely with, e.g., django to deliver server-rendered visuals, but its all static. this relegates matplotlib to exploratory modes (within an IDE or notebook) and production pipelines.

this all might change with pyscript and a browser backend, remains to be seen.

If I've learned anything as a programmer, is that these things move in fashions. People will get sick of result types and exceptions will be hot again. OOP will be fashionable once again. The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.
I'm not sure the problem of hard solipsism will ever be solved. So, when an AI can effectively say, "yes, I too am conscious" with as much believability as the human sitting next to you, I think we may have no choice but to accept it.
The biggest harm Alexander inflicted on Zoroastrianism was to kill all of the priests. Zoroastrianism has a tradition of oral transmission from priest to navar (newly minted priest), which is maintained to this day. Mass killing disrupted an entire generation and we are still grappling with the aftermath today, as we gather snippets from here and there to reconstitute what was lost.
12-13 years. They work.
we aren't much more than fancy auto-complete + memory + activity thread/process.

ChatGpt is a statistical machine, but so are our brains.
I guess we think of ourselves as conscious because we have a memory and that helps us build our own identity. And we have a main processing thread so we can iniate thoughts and actions, we don't need to wait on a user's input to respond to...
So, if ChatGpt had a memory and a processing thread, it could build itself an identity and randomly initiate thoughts and/or actions.
The results would be interesting i think, and not that far from what we call consciousness.
I disagree. It's not perfect. People have to come to terms and understand its limitations and use it accordingly. People traying to "break" the βeta is people having some fun, it doesn't prove it's a failure.
> wasteful from a resource usage perspective

The materials in a car are pretty recyclable. Aluminium and steel especially so.

The biggest environmental cost of a car is arguably the people who put it together. Ie. the emissions of the person who put it together, and his house and family.

If you use fewer people to assemble a thing, the environmental emissions go down (if you count human labor as having associated emissions).
Itanic is just the latest in a long line of architectures that include the caveat "well, yeah, that's a problem but the compiler will make up for that". While compilers have measurably improved over the last 30+ years, the magic compiler tech that makes things like Multiflow Trace, Cydrome or Itanium performant enough to make a difference in the market hasn't materialized. It isn't that the compiler didn't 'happen in time', it still hasn't happened.

Expand on that comment, please.
That's sound close to praising agriculture against hoarding/recollecting. Cain vs Abel. In the end Abrahamic religions are cults which make the sow and harvesting times sacred and "humanized". It's not a coincidence. The Holy week with Jesus' death and resurrection and harvesting times are the same.

So, all Christians, Muslims and Jews are secretly celebrating... the Neolithic revolution.
It took me about of month of writing async rust (coming from a solid sync rust background) to feel comfortable. In that first month there were definitely a lot of inscrutable issues (fortunately the tokio discord was very helpful).

But now it feels productive, and if you're totally in the async world, it all works pretty well.

The lack of async traits is my main pain point today, but you can mostly work around that with the async_trait crate. Generally it's been slow progress on usability but I think it's in a much better place than it was a year ago, and will clearly be better in another year.

There was a great post from a VPN provider about how they've honed circumvention tactics in China for years, and that whatever Russia was doing post-Ukraine was just primitive in comparison.

It’s not my “interpretation of the ‘law’” but rather the philosophical underpinning of how our legal system fits into our system of democracy. Lawyers have tremendous power over how the legal system operates. If they substitute their “moral compass” for that of the public, that undermines both the rule of law and democracy.

Your comparison to “following orders” is specious. Lawyers are bound by criminal laws the same as soldiers are bound by the laws of war. “Following orders” isn’t a defense in either case. But soldiers aren’t expected to independently apply their moral judgment. “War crimes” are defined by international consensus. And soldiers are bound to “follow orders” when they’re not being asked to commit war crimes.
I believe this stems from a paper that came out about how some large percentage of PHEVs never plugged in. The large caveat was that a large amount of that data was from company vehicles for employees. Which those employees have very little incentive to actually plug in since typically the company pays for fuel costs.
I'm not the author, and I don't know how author would answer this question, but some things are really on the surface:

1. Modularity. In Datalog it's very easy to name a common (sub-)query and reuse it in multiple queries. You can have stored procedures / functions in SQL, but the syntax is very different implementation to implementation and users are typically afraid of using the feature (the SQL/PSM does not go far enough to define what users would normally want). Also, SQL/PSM is an imperative extension of otherwise declarative language. The two just don't work well together.

2. Structures other than primitives and tables (you get lists, vectors, hash-maps and sets, but you can also make your own). A lot of practical SQL extensions also offer some of these structures, but they aren't in the standard.

3. Operations on primitive types fall into the same category / work in the same way as operations on complex types. I.e. select / update / insert / delete in SQL only apply to tables, but strings or numbers don't work in the same way. It's more uniform in Datalog (not 100%, but still better).
How about we align incentives instead?

Here's an idea: when a student graduates, they allocate 1% of their yearly salary to their favorite 5-10 teachers for the next 5 years. I call it the "thankfulness tax".

Incentives aligned: the most impactful teachers make the most money.

I don't think that last thing will ever happen. Even in Denmark, where cycling culture predates the car and there used to be (or is - I'm not up to date), among other disincentives, a hefty 180% registration tax people still drive.

All in all it's a useful tool if used in moderation.

First, thank you for asking, I already appreciate your constructive approach.

Now I would like to be more precise: I assert that, at the very least, male-female-friendship is a deviation from the rule. I.e., it is not expected to work, but it can in some instances.

Why?

Because male and female are by default and by nature sexually attracted to each other, and if not then that is simply unexpected.

In fact, there are studies where they made strangers simply look each other in the eyes for a little while. What happened was that some of them fell in love just by doing so.

Put another way: Friendship means affection. There is no reason why such affection between a heterosexual male and female wouldn't eventually cross the sexual level of affection, at least for one of the two. It is simply to be expected more often than not. Thus it is expected that at least one of the two will - at least occasionally - have sexual fantasies about the other.
After all the crap that Google put in Android, I still don't understand why some other alternative ecosystems like Ubuntu Phone or GrapheneOS or Mankato (PinePhone) aren't attractive for users and developers.

What's holding everyone back? I understand that without users there won't be apps, but also without apps there won't be users, since they offer just the basics.

Imagine if TikTok or WhatsApp have had an app for those others OSes
Exactly just see how they were not able to get Sarah Connor and John Connor. I expect some criminals hiding from it as well which would be total PR fiasco.
Human sociability evolved because the less sociable individuals were either abandoned by the tribe and died.

Once we let these models interact with each other and humans in large online multiplayer sandbox worlds (it can be text-only for all I care, where death simply means exclusion), maybe we'll see a refinement of their sociability.
I wrote a longer version of this comment, but why would you ask ChatGPT to summarize an earnings report, and at the very least not just give it the earnings report?

I will be so so disappointed if the immense potential their current approach has gets nerfed because people want to shoehorn this into being AskJeeves 2.0

All of these complaints boil down to hallucination, but hallucination is what makes this thing so powerful for novel insight. Instead of "Summarize lululemon quarterly earnings report" I would cut and paste a good chunk with some numbers, then say "Lululemon stock went (up|down) after these numbers, why could that be", and in all likelihood it'd give you some novel insight that makes some degree of sense.

To me, if you can type a query into Google and get a plain result, it's a bad prompt. Yes that's essentially saying "you're holding it wrong", but again, in this case it's kind of like trying to dull a knife so you can hold it by the blade and it'd really be a shame if that's where the optimization starts to go.
The Wire article has been retracted.
> AI being goofy

This is one take, but I would like to emphasize that you can also interpret this as a terrifying confirmation that current-gen AI is not safe, and is not aligned to human interests, and if we grant these systems too much power, they could do serious harm.

For example, connecting a LLM to the internet (like, say, OpenAssistant) when the AI knows how to write code (i.e. viruses) and at least in principle hack basic systems seems like a terrible idea.

We don't think Bing can act on its threat to harm someone, but if it was able to make outbound connections it very well might try.

We are far, far behind where we need to be in AI safety research. Subjects like interpretability and value alignment (RLHF being the SOTA here, with Bing's threats as the output) are barely-researched in comparison to the sophistication of the AI systems that are currently available.

What a great post! Love the writing style and especially the lessons at the end. I looked briefly at the GameBoyDoctor repo and what a cool side project to come out of the learning experience.
I think ChatGPT is good for replacing certain kinds of searches, even if it's not suitable as a full-on search replacement.

For me it's been useful for taking highly fragmented and hard-to-track-down documentation for libraries and synthesizing it into a coherent whole. It doesn't get everything right all the time even for this use case, but even the 80-90% it does get right is a massive time saver and probably surfaced bits of information I wouldn't have happened across otherwise.

There is no cloud provider that is large that wants you building hobby apps. Google, AWS, Azure, Heroku, etc. all want you to build large apps, small apps are not their market and they actively don't want you.
Tesla vehicle production continues to grow at a very high rate however. Being over 75% of a market is ridiculous. That's kind of expected. Tesla has said many times they're not competing with EV companies, they're competing with all vehicle production.

Also are you measuring vehicle sales or vehicle ownership? Anything over 50% production and Tesla vehicle ownership percentage continues to grow versus any other vehicle, EV or otherwise.

> Market consensus has them at 11% by end of 2024.

I laughed when I saw that number. Who is claiming that? Because that's certainly not consensus.

I can only find things from mid-2022 and that predates Tesla's price drop.
I don't think those presses would be suitable for car manufacturing because they weren't fast... Ie. rather than a cycle time of ~50 seconds, they had a cycle time of many hours.
