Tesla's windshield wiper controls are pretty obnoxious. I think the climate controls are pretty bizarre too, even if you can look at them while you operate them, and I don't know how well the music controls would work if they were reliable, but I found them to be so random I couldn't operate without looking.

Good thing is on a freeway you can engage auto-throttle and lane keeping which are good enough that you can look away from the road for a few seconds. It makes it ok for the rest of the UI to be bad, but that's not the same as it being good.
It's not impossible, there are several projects which load model layer by layer for execution from the disk or ram, but it will be much slower.
> Singapore locked down from early April to June… 2 months.

Your point? Let's look at the difference.

In China when in lockdown, you cannot leave your apartment, period. There's no food delivery. You rely on the government to delivery food packages to you, if they aren't dumping it. You have daily covid testing, if you test positive you get taken away.

Singapore lockdown, leave home to buy food or see doctor, if you have elderly who are dependent on you, you may go visit them or take supplies to them. If you work in the food industry you can continue to work, including delivery drivers.

Taiwan lockdown, same as Singapore.

> Show me where 6 billion doses of mRNA are being produced every 12 weeks? Then I’ll believe China could have procured them.

I don't understand what part you do not get.

China > Refused > To > Allow > Western > Vaccines > From > Being > Used > In > China.

China had the facilities and rights to produce the Pfizer vaccine in China. It was not allowed to produced and used in China because China did not approve the vaccines for use.

They opted for their own home grown vaccine instead of a western one.

How hard is this to understand?

> Chinese are free to travel to hk.

No they were not allowed to freely travel to HK. There were exceptions for /some/ people to travel to HK.

And it doesn't matter if they go to HK and got an mRNA vaccine as China DID NOT RECOGNIZE IT and REQUIRED you to get THEIR vaccine. Even people in Singapore who needed to travel to China were required to get sinovac to go to China as their moderna / pfizer vaccine certs were not recognized.

Took my 12 mini on a day of kayaking, water got into the lenses and broke the faceID camera. The water in the lens eventually evaporated, but the faceID cam seems permenantly broken.

They are water resistant, but I wouldn't use it in water as a matter of course. Maybe if its in pristine/as new condition, at best - I've dropped mine a few times, which probably didn't help.
Are you really actually using CORBA? That would be heartwarming if so. Maybe just RMI over IIOP?

Ask HN: Is AI (ChatGPT and Co) > Internet?
I read this:

> Bill Gates says OpenAI’s GPT is the most important advance in technology since 1980

> Microsoft founder Bill Gates says that OpenAI’s GPT AI model is the most revolutionary advance in technology since he first saw a modern graphical desktop in 1980.

And, as someone who rode the dot-com wave, I have to agree that AI is going to have a much bigger than most people can imagine.

Just like at the dawn of the internet I was consumed by it, I am consumed by AI, presently learning about prompt engineering, and trying to apply AI at work.

Are we, as society, ready?
If it's now easy to generate nice sounding bullshit then perhaps we should be re-evaluating our goals in reading that. The examples you give is no different from going on TikTok and ingesting mindless entertaining content.
Time sharing of self-driving cars will be very inexpensive. Biggest cost now is drivers.

Think about how little time utilization most cars get.

That blurs the line between public and private, in a good way.

In tandem to self-driving, electric car hardware keeps getting cheaper. Projected lifetimes keep getting longer. So the economics are going to trend better for quite a while.
I was not saying the tone of his tweet is too casual. It's the exact opposite.

The excess amount of emojis (at least on twitter) is correlated with "marketing guy" to me. Someone who talk about $trending_topic just to promote themselves or their own businesses rahter than genuinely want to share their knowledge and experieneces.

My train of thought isn't

unnecessary emojis -> casualness -> incompetence

instead

unnecessary emojis -> fake casualness -> agenda

Feel free to disagree with me. It's just my personal obvervation.
> One factual note, it seems like one of Manafort’s convictions is from his dealings with Yanukovych, who is Ukrainian, not Russian, although he is currently living in exile in Russia.

He also stole millions of dollars from the Ukrainian people via a scheme working with Yanukovych that only came to light via the black ledger -- but Manafort had $20 million in personal loans from Deripaska and something like $65M in total debt with him (it's a common way to evade taxes on crimes -- you take a loan and then never repay it so it never shows as income); https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/manafort-had-60m-relation...

Manafort was astonishingly corrupt.
We're taking the same developer-centric approach to onboarding at Dopt and this really is fundamentally different than the existing tools (Userflow, Pendo, Appcues, etc...).

I'm in a rural area and have been for six decades, I come from a farming family despite having spent a life in STEM.

> Water availability, soil nutrients, and moisture are variables farmers can control.

Are they though (globally)?

Aren't water availibilty patterns changing with long term dams, aquifiers, and reservoirs drying up in the face of increased demand?

And how's the fertilizer market faring in the face of the Russian-Ukraine conflict; is the future of mega tonnes of additional soil nutrients stable?

> higher yields of quality food.

The articles linked above didn't say any such thing about (for example) maize, a staple crop for hundreds of millions of people.
> For example, why do the Volume and Tuner knobs look identical? They’re for different purposes, used in different ways and in different contexts. They’re even usually used by different _people_ — the volume knob is more likely to be used by the passenger, for instance.

Given that they’re so far apart, I don’t see why they should be physically different from one another. Also, the standard position of the volume knob is on the left, the tuner knob on the right. This is how it has worked in any car radio I’ve ever seen when the knobs are arranged horizontally like that. They’re both within easy reach so trying to statistically determine which occupant is most likely to operate which knob doesn’t seem very useful.

I agree with everything else you’ve written. I hate it when disruptive controls are mixed in with less-consequential ones. This design could use some improvement, but it’s also substantially better than the touchscreen-only alternative.
Imagine an AI voice of Trump that phones lonely old people to thank them for coming to his rally. After 20 minutes of small talk he asks them to donate to his campaign via bitcoin...
I certainly will do so going forward! I will be creating an entire local backup scheme of everything to deal with both acute and anterograde amnesia.

Since we must plan for complete loss of historical data and the inability to save data, what’s other errors in core capability are prudent to proactively plan around?

For example, if it’s liable to fail to store either my prompt or its response, maybe it could inaccurately store my prompt or give inaccurate output. How do you plan around past/current hallucinations?

This is not particularly relevant, the tested features are not really available as no-look controls in any car, nor are they the driving critical controls people imagine these touchscreens replace.

While I guess this is kind-of interesting, where did the title of the post come from? All I’m seeing here is somebody used ChatGPT to write some code and a pull request. Even the person opening the PR says “Co-authored-by: ChatGPT”.

Maybe the title should be changed?
The first bits of code I come across on this codebase isn't functional: https://github.com/prettydiff/share-file-systems/blob/master.... You're modifying state. You're implementing iteration with do..while loops. That doesn't scream functional to me. Iteration is done with things like Array.map, Array.filter, Array.reduce in functional JS. Higher order functions are key. Functional code is declarative. do..while is imperative.
Well designed button layouts don't require counting to figure out which one to push. Even that is a cognitive distraction.

Unlike a touchscreen, you can feel the line between adjacent buttons and between buttons & the surrounding dashboard. Unlike touchscreens, you can touch these without triggering them, use feel to locate the correct button and center your finger on it, then press it, all without taking your eyes from the road.

Could they be even more distinct? Sure. Are these still a huge improvement over a touchscreen? Absolutely.
Sometimes, a contrarian take doesn't fit, and 2 and 2 does make 4.
When this topic has come up with family and friends, folks often say that they aren't worried (yet) because while a human can be fooled, they can't yet fool readily available forensic tools, and perhaps can't ever.

I can't speak to the veracity of that claim, but as the post points out, the past several years has shown us that it doesn't matter, not in the least.

The author goes on to say how it feels inevitable that we'll see a Bannon or Stone type use this technology to create fake scandals.

I'm more worried about the grass roots efforts. Crowdsourced conspiracies like QAnon. Now they'll have more capable tools to radicalize people.
Meh. We achieve a state of complete systemic disbelief, and alternate trust mechanisms develop.

The vast majority of ASP.NET Web Apps could not have migrated to .NET Core 1.0, it was missing too many features. It was missing types like 'securestring', and had zero support for Workflow Foundation, Windows Communication Foundation, etc...

At the time, .NET Core was also advertised as "an alternative platform for Linux apps", not as a direct replacement for .NET Framework.

It was only in .NET 5 that Microsoft changes their tune and started calling Core the "replacement". At the time, something like half of complex enterprise apps might be able to migrate across, but they would have encountered a long list of breaking issues with a note saying "we might fix that in an upcoming major release". That's after a partial rewrite.

You can't go to a business that has a web app that's "not broken" and suggest migrating it to a definitely broken platform that's very much still playing "catch up".

Support is improving in .NET 7, and the upcoming .NET 8, but it's definitely not 100% and pretending that it's the "end users' fault" for not jumping onto an incomplete and buggy platform is not helpful.

I'll list some random GitHub issues for you to perouse. For large enterprise apps, many of these are showstoppers for incremental or seamless migrations. The workaround is always "rewrite everything from scratch using wildly different technologies that aren't direct replacements."

Indeed. The interchangeable lens camera market has stabilized (on a revenue basis at least), but it seems unlikely to ever again be a fast growing consumer market. That said, we're talking about a pretty affluent community of users. Keeping the site up in some basic way would have been a relatively cheap way to keep generating the positive brand image the site generated in that community.

I wasn't exactly overflowing with happy thoughts about Amazon before this move, but the sudden shutdown isn't helping. I suppose their exec staff is doing us a favor by reminding us all to support more regulation of behemoths like these...

This is exactly my impression as well and my personal experience. I first felt like I really understood functional programming when I started using Ramda. It was a library that provided me functional tools in a language I was already familiar with and that allowed me to play around freely without friction.

To communicate with each other humans are going to need verification codes that AIs don't know about. Otherwise you won't know if it is a deep fake on the other side. I imagine this is what Altman's retinal coin is about. At first it will be high level government and military folks.

There's a reddit post with an AI with Steve Jobs voice giving Stallman's Ted talk which is out of this world.

So in the near future we will be able to take a bunch of videos and email and docs of your dead parent and the AI will reconstruct and you can plausibly talk with them.

So the tech is already here.

Honestly having worked as an artist and illustrator for a long time I'm kinda relaxed when it comes to this.

companies stealing your work isn't a thing that just happened to become possible because AI can make it easier to imitate. The real world scenario is much rather: _they just steal your existing work_

ever since I've been publishing my own illustrations I've always ran an image search on the stuff I've got on my homepage once or twice a year, and almost every time i did this I've found multiple individuals or companies who just used my illustrations for something without ever contacting me.

On the other hand, if my style was ever to become known and sought after enough for people prompting AIs with my name, I'm pretty confident that this would mean that:

A) I've grown big enough to have more inquiries than i could serve anyway and

B) The ones doing this are neither people or companies I'd liked to have as clients, nor would they have booked my services for the price I ask if it weren't for AI.

Big agencies with interesting clients couldn't allow themselves to risk their reputation with faking original work, and other large corporations that just don't give a fuck because they are ready to litigate if i challenge their usage are likely to have such reach that they'll end up still contributing to the desirability of my original artwork if they appropriate it. And the smaller ones, they fulfill premise B) on the one hand and would also feed the hype.

So I truly feel what actually bothers you, forever I've been drawing first and foremost because i want to inspire people to express themselves and make experience the same experiences I've had when loosing myself in a drawing. And i do think the bittersweetness of imaging AI remains that while some people will gain the confidence to DO try to express themselves creatively, others will at the same time never want to seek achieving this by their own physical skill and raw will.

But when it comes to myself and my art, I actually see only benefit and progression, regardless of what current dystopic scenarios might manifest :)
IIRC Kia or Hyundai has longest warranty - something like 8 years.
That’s not analogous. Proper use, or accustomed use, of a keyboard places the hands in the correct position by default. Our hands don’t remember the _absolute_ position of those buttons, only their position _relative_ to other buttons.

Buttons in car control panels require users to leave the default position of hands-on-wheel and acquire the new button. That’s an expensive operation, and it’s well-studied — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitts%27s_law

Also, keyboard layouts are static — learn QWERTY once, use it forever. Car control panels are usually different between cars, so learnability is harder. Many people regularly drive multiple cars, increasing difficulty again.
This project is the first to create a unique series of emojis specifically designed for AI to express feelings and emotions. Developed with the help of AI collaboration, all text in this repository is generated by GPT-4, and the art style is created by Midjourney. We believe that communication is essential in the world of AI, and having a dedicated set of emojis can greatly enhance the interaction experience.

I agree with most of your advice, especially "go outside" ... but I don't understand why one should "stop listening to podcasts". Do you mean stop listening to podcasts which discuss current events? Because there are plenty of good podcasts which don't.

Also, I think this is good advice even without the proliferation of deepfakes or GPT spam. I already abandoned social media in favor of small group chats and Real Life long ago, and I know I'm not alone. The only habit I still need to kick is reading too much HN. ;)
Right, marking methods as virtual is the other route I saw. Are most C# codebases opting to do that rather than add interfaces? It feels weird to edit signatures like that for testability, but maybe it's just what I'm used to - I'm putting all of my objects in constructors already for testability's sake, and I'm no stranger to making a factory or two.

VSCode has been my way forward for file-based editing so far. It's not so bad - just feels like I'm doing things that I ought not to be when I'm searching for DLLs or a random "scripts" folder in the root folder of our repo in Rider. In IntelliJ IDEA, all of the folders are just sitting there, ready for quick edits.

I think C# overcommitted on interface-driven design. It's good in some instances, but the more I work in code the more I think that the majority of it is needless and oftentimes harmful to maintaining a healthy code base.

Thanks for the pointers! Nsubstitute looks cleaner than Moq at first glance.

It makes business sense as well. It doesn't make much sense to build an entire company around the idea that OpenAI's APIs are always available and you won't eventually get screwed. "Be careful of basing your business on top of another" and all that yadda yadda.

If you want to build a business around LLMs, it makes a lot of sense to be able to run the core service of what you want to offer on your own infrastructure instead of rely on a 3rd party that most likely doesn't give more than 1% care about you.
Really cool, but 0.5% false positive is pretty much totally unacceptable.

Why not just list every destination in one list, with the list of busses and platforms for each one, as in:

Hoxton Center(287 P1, 76 P4)

Allowing one to then go straight to P1 and P4 and find the times for 287 and 76?

Ultimately this kind of this is easily done by computers though, Google Maps routing is usually great although it's occasionally possible to find a better route than them if you know one bus is always off schedule (I'm in the US).

They could have AI powered voice assistant kiosks for phoneless people, you could walk up and say "How to I get to Mornington Crescent" and it would tell you, or they could just hire attendants with tablets if such things were within budget.
Had a tiny Kia rental recently for few months - small display for wireless Carplay and reversing camera, buttons otherwise. Perfect combination.
