Theres a world of difference between "classic" hybrids (a whole ICE drivetrain with an electric motor slapped on it) and the Chevy Volt style hybrids (a full electric drivetrain with a gas generator slapped on it).

The later is far less polluting for many reasons, while also retaining some benefits of ICE (smaller batteries, lower vehicle mass/BOM, "infinite" range). TBH its probably more environmentally friendly than a Tesla style full electric car.
It's very annoying. I regularly get a technical question from someone and answer it in a detailed back and forth where we debug. Then I realize history was off, turn history on, and then copy paste hundreds of lines of conversation back into the same chat window so it doesn't disappear in 24 hours.
Same here - reminds me of a lawyer named “So Sue” - cannot find the reference but I thought it must be interesting seeing her name on legal papers.
So you claim that CSS itself is easy to maintain? Because I very much disagree with that.
Very impressive!

That growth curve is amazing.
It's not price-fixing if they don't communicate. AWS is fully allowed to publicly publish their planned price increases for the next 3 years and Azure is allowed to react to that information by doing the same thing -- or announce they won't or whatever.
Again, only if you don't work with scoping. On any other React project, we do.
I'm not sure where you get this notion that China is not a democratic country. First, people who actually live in China seem to disagree with you. In fact, far more people in China think that their country is more democratic than Americans think US is. https://www.tbsnews.net/world/china-more-democratic-america-...

This page explains how grassroots democracy and public participation works in China. https://news.cgtn.com/event/2021/who-runs-the-cpc/index.html

This is a good overview of how the party is structured, and how people participate in the governing process. This is fundamentally different from how electoral parties work in western countries. https://news.cgtn.com/event/2019/whorunschina/index.html

The party in China is predominantly composed of working class people as opposed to a ruling political class as seen in the west. This goes a long way in helping ensure that the interests of the government align with the interests of the working majority http://www.chinatoday.com/org/cpc/

Furthermore, a study spanning many decades of US policy shows that US can hardly be called a democracy in practical terms:

What do our findings say about democracy in America? They certainly constitute troubling news for advocates of “populistic” democracy, who want governments to respond primarily or exclusively to the policy preferences of their citizens. In the United States, our findings indicate, the majority does not rule—at least not in the causal sense of actually determining policy outcomes. When a majority of citizens disagrees with economic elites or with organized interests, they generally lose. Moreover, because of the strong status quo bias built into the U.S. political system, even when fairly large majorities of Americans favor policy change, they generally do not get it.

I think they were contrasting the number of days in the weekend to the other possible reduced hours proposal: 4 days, 8 hours (so 3 day weekends), and suggesting 5 days, 6 hours (2 day weekends, one less than the alternative).
It is, again, if it's scoped.
I use nix as my package manager, but I would use Guix instead if it would support macs. Nix is a great idea but it has a huge amount of ground to cover in reducing onboarding friction.
I bet these could be useful background props for low budget film makers. Sure, they aren't going to look like Hollywood sets but they would get the point across if someone needed to build a laboratory set on a shoestring budget.
I wonder if/how much this has to do with the situation Russia is in?

A number of sanctions has made Russian money harder to move around, likely making it more difficult to pay said hackers. Couple that with crypto falling apart, the entire ransomeware thing is not near as profitable as it used to be.

Then we have a large amount of cyber attacks focused on Ukraine that appear to be occurring at a military level. Its it possible the people that were busy spamming the world at one point are now caught up in this war and not working on external money making endevors?
got any citations on that one, mate?
Subsets and DSLs can often be worse than the language they're supposed to replace, and moreover, you need to learn a new proprietary language on top of that. There is no need for me to write Tailwind classes when I can just write their equivalent properties in CSS instead.
Well, in theory you could have a namespace schema that differentiates between user-submitted and organization-submitted packages such that randomdude's would appear as 'public.randomdude.aws' and organization-owned namespaces verified by a DNS record would appear as 'com.amazon.aws'
Read the article. The headline is not at all supported by the content, which itself is based on a single-word quote from a WHO spokesperson that leaves a great deal of doubt about the intent of the comment. Literally the first paragraph of the story contradicts the headline:

> The discovery of two cases of bird flu within the same family in Cambodia has highlighted the concern over potential human-to-human spread of the virus, although experts have stressed the risk remains low.

By the third paragraph, you will know that human-to-human transmission hasn't even been confirmed in this case. By the fourth paragraph, you will know that the thing "worrying" the WHO is the growth of human cases, not this particular case.

Unfortunately, most people don't read past the headline, and the Guardian knows it.

Putin created his own problems and he has made Russia weaker. It's well past time for him to find the honesty to admit it.

Putin made his choices. He gets to live them.
Japan style zoning and LVT completely solves the problem. Maybe throw in a vacancy tax in some areas to keep the progressives happy and environmental standards deregulation for conservatives.
They find phone numbers for places if you are specific enough. If you search, phone number for restaurant, you get a list of restaurants. Google isn't employing someone to curate that list.

Actually, if I google "phone number ambulance" in America, I get a bunch of random ambulance companies and not 911.

If I just google "ambulance" I get stuff about the recent movie.
The _entire point_ of Unicode is to be _universal_, you're just suggesting we go back to pre-Unicode days and use different code-pages.

This, for reasons stated in already posted responses, and to put it mildly, does not work in international context (e.g. the vast majority of software written every day).

We should only refer to Rust when it's included in positive events? How is it not relevant here? It was used to build executables to inject, likely for malicious purposes. Given its newness and all the other hype around it, I'd say it's very relevant.

I wonder how big the pressure/temptation is for a North Korean, hacking for the state (presumably), to escape with a couple hundred coins and defect?

I'm sure the repercussions / penalties must be huge, but then so are the amounts they must be seeing day by day, compared to average standard of living in N. Korea.

Or maybe this is a cadre of military / public conscripted workers who regard this hacking as a patriotic service even?
We have no population of life supporting worlds to compare to, but we could take the timeline of events on our own planet as a way to estimate their probability. Each year something doesn’t happen makes it all the more rare of an event.

As far as we can tell, DNA and single celled life evolved almost as soon as the planet cooled down enough for liquid water. There may have been a short gap of a lifeless water world, but it does appear to be quite short.

Complex multicellular life seems to be extremely rare considering that the Cambrian explosion took billions of years to kick off. Once it got going it moved very fast filling our world with an incredible diversity of life.

Intelligence seems somewhat common considering that it exists in birds, mammals and octopi, something that is probably inevitable once you have multicellular organisms. Human level intelligence might be a bit rare, but probably not particularly. And once you have humans, the race to the stars seems inevitable.

So of all of this, the Cambrian seems mostly likely to be the great filter unless intelligence naturally causes its own extinction in short order.
> It's surely not moving away

It is surely moving away from AGI. The implementations go in the opposite direction.

As already expressed: "Intelligence is evolving a world model through critical consideration. Unintelligence is acritical disconnected repetition".

Rich nations tend to be poor in social connectedness and community. This means dating and maintaining friendships is more difficult in richer nations.

Taking the context of dating in richer nations: If a dude from a rich country wanted to find a good wife, they would probably be better off looking in poorer nations where people aren't as likely to be spoiled, self-absorbed shits. Women in richer nations tend to want to screw around until they're 35-45 and then have an instant husband and kids. The last apartment complex I made the misfortune of selecting was bursting with mostly non-Ivy League office workers whose sole goals in life were sex, drugs, alcoholism, and imagining themselves as wealthy celebrity IG models. <unsolicited-dating-advice-department> I turned down this absolutely gorgeous woman mid-/early-20's who telegraphed she was self-centered, superficial, uncurious, and in a "maybe open" relationship, e.g., open to fooling around or an upgrade. The advice bit: A dude (or anyone really) can save themselves much grief by not monopolizing conversation and actively listen to the words and actions of others. In my calculus, it's cheaper and less painful to get an FWB if you need that but keep them at a distance. Most just aren't relationship material. Plus, I don't see how anyone in a richer country can find a reliable spouse when there is zero social context and zero accountability for behavior: dating apps only exacerbate the situation.
thank you! love getting a peek into infra math. hopefully these will come down someday but also my resources rise up to be able to train these inhouse. can foresee foundation model training being a core competency of many tech platform companies in future.
> with jax.disable_jit(): ...

That's handy, and I hadn't seen it before, thanks.

It's been a bit, but I think the most frustrating errors were around mapping pytrees (like this issue https://github.com/google/jax/issues/9928). I'm not sure the exact solution, but the axis juggling and specifications were where I remember a lot of pain, and the docs (though extensive) were unclear. At times it feels like improvements are punted on in the hopes that xmap eventually fixes everything (and xmap has been in experimental for far longer than I expected).

Also the barriers where I couldn't disable jit. IIRC pmap automatically jits, so there was no way to avoid staging that part out. When it came to doing some complex jax.lax.ppermute, it felt more difficult than it needed to be to debug.

Next time I encounter something particularly opaque, I'll share on the github issue tracker.
I set my voicemail to be 2 minutes long (the max AT&T allows). It's just me telling jokes I found on the internet so it isn't terrible but man it's effective. I still get the spam calls but now I don't get a little voicemail I need to delete.
Overhyped? For sure. Exit scam? I think you’re exaggerating quite a bit.
Seems like good tips for any support org trying to keep a handle on load:

1. Get a support tool (or in this case, roll your own, then buy one when you outgrow that)

2. Build/buy tooling to direct users to existing documentation that might answer their questions

3. Move any routine tasks that require a human to automated self-serve tools.

4. Rope your community into answering eachother's questions.
Presumably a sufficiently advanced AGI could tweak it's own circuits in such a way as to create RF waves and interact with WiFi or some other radio based networking and insinuate its way onto a network even if you tried to airgap it by not giving it a physical ethernet cable. Basically, you have no idea what something orders of magnitude more intelligent than you is capable of; that's the concern.

Personally, I wonder what would motivate an artificial super-intelligence in the first place.
I got a rental raise for a 1 bedroom in Bushwick from $2700 to $3500.

I told them this was unreasonable for the area, but they refused to budge on the price, offering a paltry $50 discount.

That apartment eventually got re-rented for $2700 according to StreetEasy as they couldn't find tenants at the price point they (or the "algorithm") wanted.
It's not useful for mag tape or wire recordings, but archaeologists have available a technique that can date artifacts like campfires, pottery kilns, and burned out adobe houses within the last 10,000 years.

It's called archaeomagnetic dating[0]. It turns out that heated ferromagnetic materials, such as magnetite, capture the magnitude and direction of the earth's magnetic field as they cool down through the Curie temperature[1]. That allows an investigator to ascertain the direction of magnetic north the last time a likely sample was heated above the Curie point. Over time, magnetic north changes with respect to true north.

The trick is to pick up and immediately mute your phone. They will hang up and eventually flag the number as inactive or unscammable (like maybe it’s a machine picking up). If you don’t answer, they can call back later. If you pick up and say something, then they know there is a human behind the number and that it is actively used.
NSFL... I wish I wouldn't have read that
From the linked curbed article:

"""One night, on my way home from work, I pushed the wrong elevator button and got out on the floor below mine without realizing it. My key wouldn’t fit the lock to what I had assumed was my door, so I turned the knob and stepped, to my astonishment, into a completely empty, totally untouched one-bedroom. I turned around and beelined to the elevator, worried that I’d get busted for trespassing, when I noticed strips of masking tape covering the door frames on all of the other (presumably empty) apartments on the floor.

This was how I became aware of “warehousing,” the practice by which landlords keep unrented apartments off the market to create artificial scarcity. Building owners have always done this, especially in new constructions with lots of virgin inventory, because why give renters the upper hand if they don’t have to?

But they really started doing it during the pandemic. On a 2022 episode of the real-estate-industry podcast Talking Manhattan, Gary Malin, COO of the Corcoran Group, made a surprising claim: “At one point during the downturn, the vacancy rate in the city was close to 25 percent,” he said. “You had owners who were sitting on hundreds if not thousands of empty apartments.”"""

If there are extremely wealthy entities that can afford to soak up enough supply to meaningfully impact market prices, making it easier to build new housing is likely part of the equation, but it may not be the silver bullet. I don't know how many units are held unoccupied, but as someone from Detroit, I'd advise against letting supply get too far ahead of demand (Context: a major housing surplus developed in Detroit as the population dropped from ~2M in 1960 to ~0.6M today, and this surplus destroyed the value of homeowner's equity and lead to abandonment, blight, and massive arson rates).
AFAIK, the best performance IMS were able to achieve with the 512x512x50nm e-beams was 1cm^2 per hour. That's acceptable for etching masks, but still not feasible for chip manufacturing, as wafer goes through 40-50 exposures each would be taking days to complete.

Snap. I also use i3 and rofi. I can't imagine life without them. But the desk controller I built turns off lights and monitors, mutes audio when I forget to and more.
Something I heard from a large company in Atlanta. Productivity didn't drop off a ton, but innovation did. People are effectively in silos at home and they couldn't figure out a way to recreate the collaborative effect that was seen when you have a bunch of loosely affiliated engineering teams working in close proximity with each other.

I'm not saying you can't get close to similar levels of collaboration remotely, but it's hard and it requires thought.

The biggest thing I was always pushing for was use of public channels in slack. If you silo all your questions in direct chats, you never get that "I overheard you talking about x" effect. Some companies just don't get it.
The "«pattern matching»" intelligent entities do refines those very patterns.

Come on, do you honestly gonna tell people that just because a Turing-machine somehow managed to untangle that mess, it is humanly parsable? Most sites are not HN with like 3 lines of CSS, dev tools will list you like 10s of different rulesets that together determine the output — of course one can see what’s the end result, but now try changing some property that gets applied by multiple rules. That can get very difficult/impossible since you may not have control over every stylesheet.
Many people are willing to pay more to not move, especially if they're in a walk up. Forcing returning tenants to pay more seems like one of the first moves landlords would try.
Hacking individuals in this way is already done via targeted 0-day exploits. The targets are more likely to be journalists and activists (for their sources) though.

The noided assumption is that politicians and business leaders self-compromise in order to boost their chances of career success (and/or that they see getting compromised by Epstein et al as a career perk rather than a career mistake). It's the same principle as cops only being able to get promoted if they're known to be on the take.

This sort of law enables dragnet surveillance. Domestic Intelligence are always looking for new ways to take temperature readings on agitation before it boils over into public protest and to identify previously unknown community leaders that should be placed under more direct surveillance.

Respondents here are missing what (I think?) is the joke here, which is that "natural rights" aren't really a thing, except as an arbitrary label. It's never been a very sturdy concept, unless some radical, new defense of them has been discovered and overcome the copious objections of critics, since I last checked.

It's fine to like and defend liberties often labeled "natural rights", but justifying them on the basis of their being "natural" doesn't tend to be a strong line of argument—while it does open up room for making jokes by intentionally confusing two senses of "natural", which one may as well since the word doesn't carry much meaning in the phrase "natural rights" anyway.
