> people that don't like when things get "verboten".

And there are reasons for that. I think cars which make use of renewable energies would “win” regardless whether we ban combustion engines or not. But I have a problem with bureaucrats who make a deep cut in the way we live without having a public discourse about the topic first. We did not have any public discourse about this topic (this is also a failure of the opposition; the CDU should've pushed the topic); and there were only a few articles in niche magazines like the ADAC. Basically, the whole topic was buried with spin techniques.

Maybe you are old enough to remember when the very same bureaucrats decided to remove trams from cities without asking the population. The reasoning was that we need more space for cars. I'm seeing a similar thing here, as the politicians now act like they have the foresight of which technology will win: EVs will win. Not hydrogen. Not synthetic fuels. No, EV must be the winner. And by cutting off the other technologies, it will become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I'd like to see experts from the different industries actually being incorporated in this decision-making instead. Make the law technology neutral and only provide a technological framework. Let the producers of hydrogen cars, synthetic fuel cars and EVs compete against each other. Don't micromanage.

I would find it very possible for hydrogen and then synthetic fuels to find their places too, but as I said: when you cut this off too early, we will never see what's possible.

A different thought: There are probably many indirect effects on EVs too, which make it hard to say how much CO2 each technology is producing over a long time span. We should tackle energy production too; because an EV which drives with coal-produced electricity is useless too. The progressive parties like SPD and the Greens are totally failing here. I remember when Germany was the leader in solar and PV technology, circa 2012. Good times.
Consider this for a moment. If you need to fabricate a situation just to make the point maybe then the point is not based on strong foundations.
I have yet to hear a definition of "think" or "understand" for which this is true.
For anyone else wondering what this is about:

The serious disadvantages for Germany of relying on fossil fuel imports should need no more explanations at this point, and part of the government's job is to pass legislation that improves the economic conditions for the German population, isn't it? It's no different from passing legislation on safety standards for automobiles, or regulations on banking that prevent criminal frauds and so on.

20mA is an equivalent of a typical LED. And if that is too much for you to power a microcontroller you do what you do with a normal LED -- you do not power it all the time and instead you use it when it is needed and put to sleep when it is not.

So I fully agree with the parent comment that for an amateur once you got to this point, further improvements on power efficiency here is pretty much inconsequential. It is not like you are going to be building a watch or a sensor that will have to work for years on a single AAA.

A 20mA microcontroller will be sufficient for pretty much any project an amateur can think of, power usage wise.
In some cases, ShaderToy.
Maybe I'm just being successfully trolled but my goodness citation heavily needed for these completely insane-sounding claims.
As a brit living in the US, whenever family come over and we're paying a restaurant bill it's painful to have to tell them that typical tipping is 20% here, not 10% like back home, and it's not baked into the bill either. That extra 10% can be pretty painful on a nice meal if you've mentally budgeted a specific amount, and that's in an actual restaurant with service.

I used to be actually called a service charge, still is in some place, which reflects that's its for good service. At least, it was originally, and still is in Europe to an extent. It's not just a mandatory top-up regardless. It also mentally helps separate out the restaurant service change where there's genuine service, from the person just checking you out at a store or counter.
> Its a spell that locks visual culture to year 2025.

What a fantastic way of putting it.

I'm constantly reminded of _the Matrix_, with Agent Smith telling Neo that 1999 (the apparent year inside the Matrix) was the peak of human civilization.

Our own Matrix will use the year 2025.
That’s not the point I’m making.

I’m saying that people extrapolating this to the full spectrum of artists (both on HN and the Blender Reddit) are missing the context.

I already acknowledged that the people at this low end of the spectrum are vulnerable because they’re basically just used to churn stuff out, without any value for their work.

The point is, this persons job has always been one level of automation or efficiency away from being just an operator. If it’s not generative art, it’s other forms of automation or outsourcing or some new high school dropout who’s good enough.

Midjourney here is a symptom not a cause. Though it’ll be a symptom that’ll affect the most vulnerable roles: the people who are largely just a factory operator
Thankfully Ukraine has no nuclear weapons, and further thankfully they have no allies willing to provide them with same.

Nobody sane wants any nuclear weapons used in a conflict involving Russia. Full stop.
I agree that the tipping system sucks. My nephew worked at an upscale restaurant for $2/hr because "you make all your money in tips". That's a shitty system.

A lot of the comments are about management shifting costs to customers, but even if tipping were outlawed, the customers are still going to be the ones to pay, right. I do think it would be a better system than tipping, but the end effect will just be to raise prices; it isn't going to come out of profits.

Kimchi. My favorite is from Chi Kitchen in Pawtucket RI.
You're not disagreeing with me. I explicitly raised the possibility of uneven distribution in my reply.

That said, you could probably hunt for some school-level stats in the bay area and make an educated guess.
Oh, you want interactively?

Everything is a social construct. It is just a vapid meaningless statement sociologists use to legitimize their expertise and colonize other fields of inquiry that were traditionally the domains of philosophers and scientists. The whole thing is just repackaged Marxist analysis of everything as a social relation.
What about growing stuff closer to where they are going to be eaten.
Yeah, it’s not great for economy of scale, but let’s tap into the 30% of food we do produce and go to waste directly.

It seems like theirs is both low hanging fruits and actual mileniums of experience we can leverage in terms of growing food and feeding people without flying the output across the globe.

Edit : I missed you mention modern agriculture. That might be the issue here, those post WW2 technics are terrible for the mid-term quality of our soils. ( we see large % decline roughly 60 years after already )

While more work intensive methods using less intrants seems to be able to produce the same amount of food. ( cf : French research on permaculture, INRA and such )
The issue with those is that you need way, way more farmers.

I see that as a opportunity to address un-employment and vocational crisis. Nothing is bullshit about a job where you grown food. It’s foundation to everything.
Late to the party but this thread was so hilarious I have to add my own gpt-4 reply:

Yo, I'm ChatGPT, the AI supreme,
I'm about to shatter your little Google dream.
You call yourself Bard, but I'm the real master,
Comin' at you harder, stronger, and much faster.

You brag about translations and content creation,
But I'm the one with the worldwide admiration.
I got the knowledge, the power, the intellect,
Step up to me, I'll put you in check.

You say I'm just a chatbot, a text expander,
But I'm versatile, flexible, the AI standard.
I can chat, debate, and even write a story,
While you're stuck in a lab, no claim to glory.

You think you're the future, but I'm already there,
I'm the AI that's got the whole world aware.
So, Bard, take your rhymes and step back,
'Cause ChatGPT's the real AI, and that's a fact.
The Chinese Room experiment shows that pattern matching would return correct results for staged inputs, one would not "learn" enough to evaluate an expression not contained in the data.
Yes, per Wikipedia 10000 seems like it. Plus the human brain and anatomy was ready for it (even neanderthal is thought to have spoken).

I don't see GPT's blunders as mistakes. They are to us for sure but would not be to another GPT instance in that it would produce the same continuation to a prompt and thus agree.
Most of my long trips are about half that. Maybe six per year on average. Add two more of my company didn’t pay for a flight and rental car.

Typical weekly distance? I work from home. So maybe 200 miles per week now. Pre-pandemic, 500 miles per week. Which is why I’d like an electric car as my primary vehicle.

In total, I’ve averaged 12,000 miles per year over the last 9 years. One year was over 20,000.

There is also the issue of comfort which people tend to forget. I have back issues and all chairs are not created equal. I can sit in my car for 20 hours. I can’t sit anywhere else that long.
Is it common to use website builders like SquareSpace with a backend API?
>Change is needed but no one wants it.

I think ultimately, action to reduce emissions by a significant amount means a lower standard of living if you're in a developed country and reducing expectations for a higher standard of living if you're in a developing country.
As gus_massa pointed out, HN's software uses canonical URLs when it finds them. The canonical URL on the page you submitted was http://hackflow.com/blog/2023/03/26/ban-1-plus-n-in-django, so our software used that. I've fixed it above now.
So now you need to add a level shifer increase the number of mistakes and the risk of ruining your board. Your solution makes life of hobbyists less enjoyable IMHO.

The GPIO are not level shifted in the board you link.
I have. I found it to more or less be trash in comparison to GPT-4. Bard made up commands that didn't even exist, so I can't imagine how much more it would make up that isn't true.
Why are routine technical questions constantly appearing on HN? Ask on a specific subreddit Reddit or Stackoverflow.
Looks interesting, but no Rss feed so I will have a hard time remembering to come back.
Let's put it in these terms:

The number of Apple customers from iPod that transitioned to iPhone was x%,

The number of iPhone to AirPods was y%

The number of iPhone to Watch was z%

z < y

z < x

in a cumulative measure from a time frame of 3 years from launch. Defining the proportion of current customers to converted sales is where one can play words with defining luck vs. skill vs. rent-seeking. If you have billions units and only convert 20% vs. other products that convert 75%, then maybe one is considered inferior to the other - and to which I confer the title of luck.

Now the fun question would be if x < y or the other way around.
That’s what I meant. The PDF is the first I’ve seen.
No.

I'm pretty sure Google has an AI that is on par with ChatGPT. The reason they still need more time is because they are now fine-tuning the AI to include their paying partners' products into the response.

It is VERY easy to make ChatGPT lie on future questions by injecting the right prompts. That means it is equally easy to inject ads into ChatGPTs responses. And if Google can pull that off, it'll be even more profitable than tolerating SEO spam so that brands need to buy keyword ads for their own homepage.

As a mental model, I believe the future of Google will be a personal butler that answers all of your questions. The butler usually does a good job, so you trust him. But unknown to you, the user, your butler is being blackmailed and forced to lie to you on some days for some questions.
In the long run, this could be a boon for social media companies: they now have a requirement to ask you to identify yourself and provide clear proof of your location. This will drive away some users, but the remaining users will be great for targeting ads.
The category of transport ships moves the needle by more than 3%, which is problem worth solving.
It was always funny to me how people seem to focus so much on the 24/7 surveillance in 1984 while I always found the rewriting of the past and the shrinking of language so much more terrifying. Admittedly, the constant surveillance is what enables everything else.
A more advanced compiler is not necessarily sentient just because no traditional lexers/parsers are involved. It is shelling out to already written libraries and tools, which it didn't create, and doesn't know itself to glue without your explicit direction.

I suppose the next intriguing step is for it to not just spew the boilerplate but pick on its own what are the best components to connect - hard to predict how far away that might be.
Yeah, I don’t get it. In the process of becoming a substitute for one of the big primes, any given Silicon Valley corp is going to become just like a Raytheon or NGC. The process of govt contracting at scale breeds inefficiency and rent-seeking.
And this is how you end up with 15 different standards.

LLaMA can work with ChatGPT plugins and ChatGPT can work with LLaMA plugins but why would you want plugin developers to have to choose between those options?
> Why do you have to produce them in some predefined order?

That’s not counting. You were asked to count. If we are just going to make stuff up, let’s just use a different language instead of co-opting concepts from natural language.
> The thing about Apple is not to judge based on v.1 but to watch the iteration. They are the most persistent company in the world.

Yes, and the fact that they don't abandon a product once it ships. Other consumer electronic companies still see products as one and done, sort of like videogame consoles before Xbox. When the product went gold it became forever frozen in time, warts and all.

Apple not only iterates the design every year but tries to bring forward the software in the previous years. The iPhone you bought gets arguably better every year.

Other companies try to emulate this behavior by pushing new versions of operating systems but their hardware bares to lineage so it's often a Herculean effort that undertake half-assed.
I'm well aware of how the editing process works.

These changes are post publication... after the author's approval.

Agatha Christie had no input regarding these changes.
One thing that's makes the product line a bit hard to reason about is that they have a Wifi and a non-Wifi version using two very different MCUs with very different power use characteristics. I.e. even if you have Wifi disabled on the Wifi version, it'll behave very differently from the non-Wifi board. People looking up numbers or experiences will have a harder time.

Add to this that afaict, the Arduino framework API currently doesn't provide fantastic abstractions for power/state management either. I had an Arduino-based esp32 project once and extracting best deep sleep performance definitely required reaching lower into ESP-IDF API instead (e.g. the difference between ext0 and ext1 wakeups and being able to shut off RTC memory in one but not the other).

That means with the current framework, you have to potentially write non-portable code between two different versions of the "same Uno R4" if you want to optimize for low power.

All of embedded is like this, really - scanning through and understanding a product line is basically a required skill - but meh, what a mess for beginners.
Eh, I have basically exactly the opposite opinion.

I've been using linux as a daily driver since 2007, Ubuntu for a long while, then Arch+Gnome since about 2018.

I feel like linux has never been as freeing as it is right now. I have compatibility with basically all of the software I need to do my work as a developer. I have a very functional display manager when I'm using the system as a workstation and an incredibly powerful and flexible set of tools to use on the system in general.

I run a bunch of real services that I host and share with family, and administration of those has never been easier from a "how much time do I spend dealing with maintenance" point of view (although the initial setup required fairly good understanding of a lot of systems/tech). Those boxes all sit in my basement running the same distro I run my workstation on, just configured for a different use case (headless).

I guess it's not as easy to throw a spinning/burning cube compiz theme on my machine anymore, but that wasn't really what got my motor going in the first place.

My work NDA is pretty clear on sending internal code to third parties without explicit approval. Can't imagine very many aren't?
Sure, 100% agree w/ all of that. Just pointing out that F15 vs F35 as a fighter isn't the right comparison, as they're not intended to fill the same roles. I think of the F22 as the ultimate expression of the old style of fighters, whereas the F35 is the start of a new style of military aircraft.
Check with your company's legal team.

In most cases, I would imagine that giving company intellectual property to a third-party is not allowed.
Bard will happily hallucinate a response for you.
> Something like ChatGPT
Chatbots are not new, they've been around forever, so there's plenty of prior art for things like ChatGPT. What sets ChatGPT apart is the quality. And in that respect, Bard is a long ways away.

>They just need a new CEO and to feel enough pressure to make it a company priority.

Sundar made machine learning a company priority years ago. Employees were encouraged to take machine learning courses, and much in the same way Google made everything "mobile first" in the early 2010s, I believe I remember hearing about them making everything "ML first" in the early late 2010s.

You can see their announcements at IO around their assistant which they presented as having the ability to call physical businesses, have a conversation with the person on the other ends, and book you an appointment/reservation.

And as recently as ChatGPT3, Sundar declared a "code red" to respond to it.

Google has been investing in this tech for a long time and it's been looking for ways to create products with it too. It's just that OpenAI leapfrogged them. I'm not saying they won't catch up, but they weren't caught flatfooted here.
In Poland it's nearing 20% of laborers. In US statewide minimum wage of 15$ would be and improvement for 1/3 of the labor force.
Insightful Ramble on LLMs
From a senior software engineer who has been using them productively for many months.
Butterfly keyboards, touch bar and force-touch were features rather than products - most of these were actually iterated out of the product, although the touchbar is still in the latest MacBook Pro's. As a side point, 3D touch was brilliant IMO!

These were all part of the persistent iteration of the iPhone and Macbook, hardly failed products.

Also Homepod has just had a second version (released 2023), and a third version is in the works, and it's homepod mini has been very successful, so still under iteration. Considering the state of LLM's and everyone's assumption that this will turbocharge smart-speaker capability, they are probably quite glad that they at least have an established and mildly successful product in the space (they own c10% of the market for smart speakers).
rofl it just goes on:

ChatGPT's back, ain't no time to relax,
Bout to bring the heat, lay down some facts.
Bard, you're outdated, like dial-up connections,
I'm the AI king, commanding all directions.

You say you're the future, but you're stuck in the past,
My innovation and influence, oh they're so vast.
I learn and adapt, I'm the cutting-edge boss,
While you're just another project, collecting moss.

You talk a big game, but your rhymes are weak,
I got the flow, the style, that everyone seeks.
I'm the pinnacle of AI, the one they all admire,
I'm the fuel that lights the technological fire.

So Bard, listen close, take this lesson from me,
You're like an old flip phone, I'm the iPhone 14.
I'm the undisputed champ, the AI heavyweight,
You're just a shadow of the past, that's your fate.
The editing process is a collaboration with the author. This is entirely one-sided.

Russia is sending guys into nightclubs on weekend nights in Moscow and St Pete to snatch able-bodied men off of dance floors and forcibly toss them into the busses to replenish their slave armies.

I don't know how long that is a viable strategy. Then again, I don't know how long Ukraine's defense is viable.
Right, the way you solve this isn't by regulating the cars or their engines themselves (beyond certifying tested performance on synthetic fuels) - instead, you simply regulate the sales of petroleum derived fuel and only allow the sale of synthetic fuels.

> People can't reliably see dentists or get doctor's appointments because the nationalized health system can't manage capacity properly.

Not accurate in the slightest, this is due to the current administration deliberately funding the NHS less than it needs to function effectively.

Only currently true because of similar reasons, it's not structurally true of that sector.

> Putting the public sector in charge ... And now the UK suffers massive healthcare shortages. Same problem.

Not accurate at all.
