It's really exciting to see this stuff coming to life!

Does this display have the same nominal 2Mbps speed as the 2.7" one I've been using? I've seen people report that it works well at 6Mbps (and thus 60 Hz) but haven't tried it myself. I'm guessing that it would use more power.

Have you been able to measure how much of the power consumption is the display?
I’m also of the impression that dry turning the wheel isn’t great for the tie rods. But I welcome a car person to teach me the truth.
It’s important to note that when Chomsky writes about “a fundamentally flawed conception of language” or “the science of linguistics,” he is talking about a particular understanding of what language is and a particular subset of linguistics. While some linguists agree with his focus on the mind, grammar, and linguistic competence, others dismiss it as too narrow. Many linguists are more interested in how language is actually used and on its complex roles in human society.

I personally am concerned not so much about whether large language models actually are intelligent as about whether people who interact with them perceive them as being intelligent. The latter, I think, is what will matter most in the months and years ahead.
In order to make an iPhone there was the basis of cell phones, and telephony and radio in general. And the mining of materials that such tribes may not be in proximity to or be able to mine at such intensities given their low populations and tech levels.

For some reason you seem to expect a civilization with the technological sophistication of globalized society with 10,000+ years and billions of people and countless global resources fueling them to suddenly emerge in the small geographies and populations of uncontacted tribes? If you were trying to be witty, you came up short.

Edit: or were you trying to play off "negatively affected by the modern world" as, "well they don't have iPhones so they don't have the Social Dilemma, everything's peachy" instead of the blatantly obvious "we destroyed their world and they had no clue" angle...
They’re lottery tickets for founders only. Everyone else worse really hard for substandard income and gains valuable experience.
Depends on how good your eyesight is. Nearly a decade ago I saw an 8K monitor in person and it had a very noticeable “wow” factor above 4K. Now? I probably wouldn’t be able to see much difference.

I realize I'm replying to a 4-hour-old account and just wasting my time, but I gotta say that it's not possible for a person to verify the accuracy of every bit of information that they will consume, so it's important to seek out sources that provide the highest quality, most authoritative source material that's available. That means reading things like research papers. I realize that a much smaller percentage of Internet users read and discuss research papers and other authoritative source material nowadays (I miss Usenet) and it seems that this problem is only going to get worse.
More RAM, a higher resolution display, a proper keyboard, solar power and much easier to program (for me at least). But yes, it is essentially the same sort of thing, and much more poorly made at that. :-)

I loved my TI-83, wrote games and crude 3D graphics on it high school math class.

Out of curiosity, are these events related in any way to gambling or er, other types of adult entertainment?
Not conjecture :) This is actively of interest in that area. One of the researchers down the hall from me is working on it.
Fascinating, I printed a network report from an HP printer and it listed several services, one of which was:

9100 Printing = Enabled

So I guessed that I could netcat to port 9100

cat something.pdf | nc 192.168.1.2 9100

It worked! The printer sat waiting for more content, so I had to press Ctrl-C to kill netcat, but then it immediately printed what it had sent. The margins were off (not like if I had printed through a print driver).
"I don't recall where it is", "I must have forgotten to put a USB stick in it", etc.

If you can make a plausible lie, stick with it, then there isn't much they can do. There absolutely are one neat tricks, and authorities conveniently lose evidence or claim recording devices were malfunctioning regularly. The ruling class can destroy evidence that's under subpoena and claim it wasn't intentional or that they contained no evidence of wrongdoing anyway.
It's not fair of me to put it all on that. I have role in that too. All I can do is reflect on all that I could change within myself. I've come to a place where I feel I have compromised my integrity to belong to something that I never really was allowed to be in. I didn't go to school and learn C. I was too poor for that. To far already broken as a run away adult at 14. I found coding at the age of 16ish but I then ignored it till I was in a place stable enough in my life where I could learn it on my own. That didn't come till I was about 23, and at that time at best I was working fast food. I'm 43 now and I peaked my income this last year, but I don't ever see that happening again. Frankly I don't want the money. I want a life. The money was just getting me to a place in my life now where most in IT got to start at. I had a lot of damage to repair over the years. A whole other life long past. I just got my first adult couch and bed that I paid for with my own money not some second hand used thing.

The science of scarcity destroys any happiness you could have had. Its a privilege many over look. That said I'm not a victim, that was my bed and I laid in it. The best I can offer you in that is I try to look towards empathy in the people I see in my community who are in a much worse off place. I now know so much better now how truly privilege I've been. I'll never be that ignorant if I can help it. Thats a big part of the reason why I want out of tech now because its just not me. Its a different world of egos. I don't want to sit next to the dude who orders a $200 stake with cheesecake on it. I would rather sit next to a disable homeless adult man so they knew their not really alone. I can't even fucking explain that to dude eating that stake next to me. Thats when I have to face myself. And your right not all the issues I've listed are exclusive.

Interesting that higher concentrations can be less effective? Did I get that right? Sounds complex. And complexity doesn't always mix well with the virality / popularity of a narrative.
It's interesting because it does demonstrate an understanding of chess, just like othello gpt demonstrated an understanding of othello.

It follows the rules of chess and makes legal rules the vast majority of times. Making illegal moves occasionally doesn't mean you don't understand chess. Not if you learned chess in a self supervisory fashion. It's also a vast improvement over the chess performance of cGPT which makes legal moves on basically random chance and flies off the handle quickly.

It's also just plain interesting that a language model can pick up how to play these games from training on text in the manner they do. If you don't find the idea that LLMs are universal computation engines interesting then i don't know what to tell you.
I too have been investigating using eink displays, but the biggest issue I've found is refresh rates are often terrible especially with colour displays. Have you found eink displays with refresh rates <1s?
Sounds like an interesting idea!
To me, it's not even difficult. It shouldn't be illegal for an app to be mindlessly entertaining. Almost all American pop culture is, literally every thing that comes down the pike is the dawn of Idiocracy until the next thing.

And as far as propaganda, emotional and psychological control, manufacturing consent, etc. go, Tiktok has nothing on the incestuous relationship between American social media and the incentives of data capitalism, and the military industrial complex.

Meanwhile, the government of Texas wants to censor the internet to make access to information about abortion illegal. We don't have to posit a slippery slope scenario for this, shit's already sliding. The precedent created by letting governments ban access to social media and create ideologically-driven silos of information is much worse.
My local library doesn't even have tech books.
That was not what I specifically asked for. And of course I haven't had time to do a google search on it, you just brought it up after me and multiple other people pointed out what you said made no sense. But I might later- can't say I have high hopes given the first run round, afraid to say.
Agreed, it is all tribalism now. Painful.

Also, I love my car driving me around. It's the reason I bought it and it is amazing.
Why would the TOS of a site operated by a national government agency qualify as a “consumer contract or a contract of employment”? And why would a provincial law constrain the actions of the federal government?

As GP noted, sovereign immunity might be relevant here.
Is there not a middle ground here? I don't think this is a binary situation where a person has to have no care at all, or it is their full obsession with life.

Like, I don't care if you think my clothes are shit, and I don't keep up with the latest javascript flavor of the day. At the same time I don't want, at least the general public around me, thinking I'm some creepy hermit murderer so they don't rise up with torches and pitchforks either.
It’s just a term for describing disliking hearing people smack their lips. I’m not claiming it’s a disease or disability.
The commission was created by legislation authored by California Secretary of State Shirley Weber. It's not like this is some random group of academics with no political power.

I agree that it has little chance of becoming law, though. And if Democrat machine politicians and true believers like Shirley Weber somehow push this through it'd be one of the few things that could make the Republican party viable again in California.

We ought not to get complacent, though. It's an unworkable policy with a litany of obvious problems and it would be a catastrophe for California if it passed. Better to speak out now than complain later about how it all went wrong.
Would it be legal for merchants to band together, share a pool of cards with a history of chargebacks, and block payments from those cards?
We also should archive everything we can, like we do with books. Assuming civilization will survive there's a small chance to rebuild the ecosystem on this planet or some another in distant future. It's not a given, but definitely possible.
Surely, you’d do this key on-engine off. (Key on so the CAN bus is active; engine off for obvious reasons.)
> Saying "just some n-gram correlations" or “no real knowledge inside” feels wrong, and require significant evidence, given what language models can do today. And that evidence is not there.

> However, the unintuitive beliefs remain widespread, trickling down from some experts, who should know better than to teach their controversial theories as established fact.

TL;DR: There are probably weak abstractions somewhere inside, meaningful to the language model but not to you. (At least according to the summary)

It's a bit of a defensive-sounding polemic. What would be interesting would be a discussion of structures we could see as world models. The old observation that word vectors for countries and their currencies worked in parallel was a type of simple model.

One thing these models don't rely on is reality. All they know is what the internet told them, and when they don't know something they lie extremely convincingly.
Some start-ups will both help employees exercise 83b as well as even bonus them the amount to cover the strike. Then if an employee leaves, the non-vested shares are clawed back and the bonus is not returned.

If Stripe did this, wouldn’t they have avoided much of the tax issues here? It seems they’re only able to raise in this case because of their strong valuation and success. Like, most companies either could not do this, or would only do it for the founders.

Moreover, what about performance-based comp for employees instead of time-vested ISOs? For example, employee gets percentage X at different valuation targets where these is liquidity? The ISO basically prohibits employees from having shareholder voting power where they work. Perf-based comp could perhaps offer employees the same fraction of a percent of any windfall while simplifying the tax / equity risks, which are very outsized for employees who are not accredited investors.
Yes, that's the problem. Autopilot was named Autopilot which is just ACC. Full self driving is level 2 self driving. FSD should be renamed to Autopilot and Autopilot just take on another name or just ACC.
I live in Massachusetts which might explain why I've never heard of this. Residential landlords may not, by law, charge tenants for water usage here so the idea of a tenant paying the insurance bill is strange.

I'm basically reading most of the comments on this article while I grease my antifa mechsuit, but to a certain extent I think I support this general concept. Lots of landlords in Mass will also have yard care included in the lease, and look at that they also own a landscaping company. If I could pay less AND not have an exploited minimum wage worker toss herbicide all over the tomato plants in pots on my patio, that'd be sweet.
That’s not how it _should_ work. RSU grants are normal income. Taxes should be withheld as such by the granter. Which is the assumed reason Stripe is raising money. Because they are on the hook for withholding and must pay that bill in cash.

Now, like all income if you set your withholding incorrectly you can owe at the end of the year.
> But this just does not feel right. It feels like tyranny of the majority.

It's not tyranny. It's just democracy. Asset owners get lots of tax deductions, capital gains benefits and other goodies because they are the majority who voted it for themselves.

> Ordering them to decrease the rents is not that different from confiscating part of their property.

There have been rent stabilized apartments in new york for decades now. It's nothing new and it's nothing like confiscating property.
No, no, no! This is the post-apocalypse laptop! You can’t go off buying new batteries in your mad-max car. It’s gotta work from that solar panel!
At Uber, employees got loans to cover exercise. Is that not happening here?
If you want pointer stability, then reserve + push_back is sufficient to avoid reallocations, if you have an upper bound on the final size (which you need anyways to use resize effectively). Else, you should probably be storing a vector<unique_pointer<T>> which has its own downsides (mostly around locality).

Side note: vector::operator[] is UB for out-of-bounds access; if your goal is for something to break loudly, you should be using vector::at().
So what about black american on immigrant discrimination?
Yep, I remember that piece.

Silly thing is, I think Instagram would be just fine if they didn't suggest things constantly. Every time, I select to see it less often, but it's inevitably back the following day. Let each person choose what they want their Instagram to be, whether it's following friends or being a creator or treating it like a magazine and looking at reels.
Not everyone can follow in the footsteps of ProtonVPN, who will let you mail an envelope of cash to a PO box in Switzerland if you want to.
Python 2 is an interesting choice
Nice!

Now I'm imagining a conspiracy among economists: to only ever show us top-down pie charts while funneling all the depth into their own slush fund. :)
> Drug dogs are basically a override-the-law get you into jail free card, and any system that allows them as evidence of probable cause basically does not require probable cause.

Police dogs manufacturing search warrants is more of an American problem than a Canadian problem.

You might have more rights on paper in the US, but in many respects, you have more of them in practice in Canada. The letter of the law matters way less than how the law is implemented in practice. Public culture, legal culture, political culture, and policing culture all play into this.

The right to bear arms is enshrined in the constitution, yet there's no shortage of people who have been executed for 'reaching for an (often imaginary) gun' during a 'routine traffic stop' that, oddly enough, predominantly targets minorities...
Fortunately, at least some of those cases are solvable on Kagi using the domain-level ranking overrides - so if the blogspam is coming from the same set of domains, just set their ranking override to "Lower" or "Block", and/or set the legitimate results (like Wikipedia or StackOverflow) to "Raise" or "Pin".

The thing I don't understand is... how come this is even a selling point? This is an obvious feature that was loudly demanded by people since time immemorial. It's something you realize you want five minutes into using your first search engine. Yet for some reason, neither Google nor Bing nor DDG nor literally anyone else I know of has ever implemented it. It took until ~2020 for Kagi to do it, and for me it's ~40% of reason I'm a paying user (the other ~40% is because they implemented a feature I proposed on their feedback board: the ability to rewrite result URLs via regular expressions - something I wanted to avoid having to use an extension to turn "reddit.com" results into "old.reddit.com" automatically).

If her husband is disabled medicare may be paying her to be a “care taker”. I think it’s like $12/hr. A good scammy home health company can usually find disabled people, get them registered, hire one of their household as a “care taker”.

I didn’t read the article. But she shouldn’t have 5 pets. Maybe a turtle.
I am not who you asked but I can see an argument being made that, yes, a banned word list consisting of racial slurs is still bad, albeit significantly less so.

The argument would go something like this: you can ban use of racial slurs without specifically making a list of them that are banned, as such a list both opens the door to further banned words and also comes with a maintenance cost, where it has to be changed. As an example "person of colour" is currently an acceptable term but when I was a kid I think people would have associated that term with "coloured" and find it insulting, so if you have a specific list you have to manage cases like this.

Secondly banning racial slurs altogether ignores that there are legitimate contexts in which they should be used (directly quoting something someone has said, discussing old media in which that sort of language is used, etc.), and these contexts are very different from referring to an individual or a group using those slurs. A list of banned words means those words can't be used even in those contexts, as opposed to just not using them as a pejorative or insult.
I don't think it would be difficult to make a chatgpt derived LLM that was able to explain its "reasoning" on how to apply the laws of robotics to any situation. Sort of like "Daneel meets the trolley problem", I guess.

I never really thought much about the laws of robotics- they seem more or less impossible to achieve in a wholly consistent by any reasonable objective-seeking robot.
That's valid. Strange way to phrase "owes me rent" though.
How could you not know that?

Often there's right of first refusal, but blocking rights? Do they actually have that? Is this common? If so, (why) would they need right of first refusal?

Yea probably. I think people overestimate what these cars can do. I wouldn't want to test it, but after being into this stuff for a while it probably would. Longitudinal control is radar based in mainstream ACC, but I know for a fact that it would probably brake too late going 70mph with something sitting in the road . Open pilot's new longitudinal is vision based but it's probably not trained on a fire truck in the middle of a highway.
You don't need a lawyer. Just hand over the data they ask for, and they will be happy. You can get a lawyer if you want to fight it. If you're paranoid about police impersonators, you can ask your local strip mall lawyer if the document is legit before handing over the data, and it will cost you less than $100.
Thank you to post this deeply personal story. As a parent, it must have been a very hard couple of years.
Yeah, thats why I had email in quotes. Could have been more clear I guess. Still a problem that you need to accept their TOS to see if they decided you owe money.
We already have smartasses copy pasting chatgpt responses in to comments here. It's easy to tell at this point because chatgpt always gives overly verbose and polite, positive comments. Which is completely out of character for a HN user.

Why would a DSP be able to get lower latency that a modern general purpose processor? DSPs might have been a thing 15 or 20 years or 30 years ago; but I cannot imagine anything that a DSP would do better than a modern ARM processor.

I feel it's likely the Ukraine will be disillusioned if NATO is able to librate them.

Because from my understanding, the USA only has granted loans to Ukraine (though EU might have gifted some weapons). If NATO wins the war, it's likely the USA wants payback for the loans. And the most obvious way is to "colonise" this resource-rich [0] country with Western companies to extract the resources for cheap and send to the west.

Very solid advice!

Just to give some examples for points #3 & #4:

- Gary Halbert insisted on replacing web site (credit card) forms with a toll-free 1-800 number where a real person took your order and credit card info. This was at a time when people were not used to buying stuff online, yet. Huge bump in sales/conversion rate.

- The publisher made a fancy, gorgeous site (with Flash, etc) for "Kick-Ass Copywriting Secrets Of A Marketing Rebel." However, it took too long to load and didn't have good sales copy. John Carlton got it changed to a simple "ugly" site with testimonials along the side[1]. Again, boosted sales/conversion rate.
