The news media would like us to all believe that democrats and republicans are two tidy groups of people. Fox News would have you believe that all democrats fall neatly into the "liberal snowflake" category and CNN or MSNBC would have you believe that all republicans fall into the "january 6th rioters" category.

The truth is there is a vast spectrum on both sides. In fact I would argue there is really just one spectrum and that all of us fall somewhere on it. You have republicans that participated in January 6th and then you have the ones that think that Jan 6 was the dumbest effing idea ever, dont give a damn about the culture war, and just want to pay lower taxes. They call themselves republicans but they would vote for anyone that supports lowering taxes (as an example).

And I'm sure there are tons of folks all on the democratic side that would each disagree with one another on just about everything except who they vote for. Bottom line is, the US has a population of ~350M and to think that each one can be categorized into two neat boxes is silly.
I don't know the answer to your question, but here [1] is how you would go about submitting an idea for a new one.

Kia and Hyundai are effectively the same company.

I assume Kia is South Korea’s lower end offering, Hyundai is their mid tier offering, and Genesis is their luxury offering.
People generally don't want to end the world. Those with the power to do so already are living generally good lives so they see little reason to potentially sacrifice the world for more power. AI could have completely different utility functions than people though, so an AI might have less qualms about ending the world.
And of course there is zero chance GM's software will be even 1/10 as easy to use as Apple's because no car manufacturer (except maybe Tesla) understands UI software or even acknowledges that it's important.

I already pay "subscriptions" for my car in the form of loan payments, insurance, and maintenance. I'm damn well not going to pay Mary Barra a monthly fee to use her crappy music service or enable my seat heaters to work.
> you can’t get these things right, how can I trust that you will get the safety critical software right

Does any major car manufacturer routinely nail their infotainment systems?
I don't think it's even technically true in the lightning case
I have to give it to you, you're sticking to your preconceived notions. However, that's not a good trait with the preponderance of evidence against your notion. Maybe you're not from a smaller community to be able to understand how much control someone can actually have. Whether it is the local law enforcement, a coach, or a minister, history is full of examples where smaller communities have been kowtowed to those in positions of authority. To me, it's even easier as the smaller community doesn't have the numbers to support each other to fight against the oppressor. There's a reason there are so so many 80s films where the out of town tough guy comes in to rescue the local community.
The ELD does tons of stuff. It tracks location, speed, doors, shifting (to teach better strategies to the driver), logs, fuel levels, and anything the engine can spit out thru that jbus (like obd-ii which some do use). We used to upsell tracking things and having parts on hand at the correct depots for fixing things before they became an issue on the side of the road. HoS is just one part of what those things do. But even the simplest of them usually hook into the data bus at some point to detect 'drive'. You can buy ones that are just apps and do only HoS. But not sure if those are considered legal anymore (been a few years since I messed with it). When you have 1 truck HoS is a big part of why you want them. When you have a fleet of 2000+ trucks your metrics are different in what costs more.
Depends on how you measure thirdiness. Is ordinal more important than actually matching the letters?
There's a great book that came out recently covering in detail the various ways that truckers and trucking companies bypass the pervasive surveillance and regulation: Data Driven
The only time I've been in a car with aux and without bluetooth was when briefly borrowing my mom's car when I visited home, so I haven't had a need for a product like this.

Good to know they work quite well! Thank you.
I doubt Valve is doing anything on the leading edge of web design that only a minority of systems are able to support. I figure it is just HTML, CSS and Javascript. If they stick to standards, it'll just work. Security bugs aren't really an issue because you are just using the Steam app to navigate 1 site, Valve's. You only see what Valve presents.

OS support being dropped by an app should only be done because the app is dependent on APIs, etc. that only exist in newer versions of the OS. Not because it is "fashionable" to drop support.
No problem, I don’t need a GM car either.
> Overtake and spread computation to security vulnerable computers (presumably, basically every computer)

You could backdoor computers, sure. Spread your own computation to them? You just can't get a better-than-GPT-4 model to run at real-time speeds decentralized over wide area networks. Literally impossible. There's not the bandwidth, not the local compute hardware, and no access to specialized inference hardware.

> Gain a physical presence by convincing humans to build critical physical components. For example by sending them emails and paying them for it.

Pay for it using what money?

> Use that presence to start a grey-goo like world takeover through replicating assemblers (they don't have to be tiny)

As someone who actually works on this, you have no idea what you are talking about.

1. Grey-goo scenarios are pure science fiction that were NEVER feasible, and known to be impossible even back in the 80's when the media misunderstood Drexler's work and ran with this half-baked idea. For a full treatment, see Drexler's own retrospective in his more recent book, Radical Abundance.

2. Nanotechnology is an extremely hard problem that is not in the slightest bit bottlenecked by compute power or intelligence capability. The things that are hard in achieving atomically precise manufacturing are not things that you can simulate on a classical computer (so a years-long R&D process is required to sort out), and there is no way to train an ML model to make better predictions without that empirical data.

People like Yudkowsky talk about AIs ordering genome sequences from bio labs and making first-generation nanotechnology by mixing chemicals in a test tube. This is pure fantasy and reflects badly on them as it shows how willing they are to generalize based on fictional evidence.
The Link Between Entrepreneurship and Mental Health Conditions
Ask HN: Can ChatGPT be trained on a specific project's codebase?
Does anyone know if it's possible to feed a project or parts of it(a few files) to ChatGPT so it can have the proper context when giving answer?

I think I would find it a lot more useful, if this was possible.
Yes, but Python really is in a tough spot when it comes to dependencies because a lot of it are compiled in a lot of different languages using libraries that may or may not be available on your OS. That's the real issue. If you install python packages honestly anything works, it's when you have the ML stack of PyTorch (needs cuda, cudnn, needs to be compiled to match your OS version) + custom CUDA operators (also need to be compiled) with something like a mariadb connection (needs the mariadb OS library).

conda solves it by packaging EVERYTHING, giving you atrocious 30GB environments, pip doesn't solve it at all and none of the challengers really have much to offer (in my opinion).
Agreed, if I need to send encrypted data, I won't be using a messaging app to do it.
100% this. The number of discussions I've had about the duration of a build/deploy pipeline... Like you said: having proper tests is prio #1, execution speed is second.

Great so your build finishes in 3 minutes but you have no idea if the product works. While my build takes over 30 minutes but I fully confident the product works. Which one would you rather have.
My description above includes a memory store. It is a single variable that it can save and recover, and will automatically get sent back to it at regular intervals if it forgets it saved anything. Only a single text string variable is needed, as GTP-4 is smart enough to realize it can compress, pickle, etc. as many things as it needs into that.
yes because i still have no idea where to get my car detailed in a seamless way. I can search on google, read reviews, call and make an appointment. But thats not what i want to do.

Groupon sold itself as OS for local commerce. I see that as a 17 billion idea.
> This will also be an opportunity for other car manufacturers to differentiate themselves: “We still support CarPlay”

but I doubt CarPlay will even end up as the lowest-common-denominator...one of GM or Mercedes or whoever will try to get their system good enough that they can license it to other car companies...so CarOS or whatever will be the default if your car brand doesn't have a bespoke experience

I like Android Auto and use it all the time, but I can't fault GM for not wanting to be treated as just another OEM...FoxConn does all the hard work for Apple on the hardware side and isn't even allowed to put their name on the product...the ultimate replaceable cog

Apple might have been received better by car makers if it hadn't threatened to be developing their own vehicle...now all the car makers see them as a competitive threat
> I don't understand why people at Microsoft's gaming division are not acting like their hair is on fire right now.

They have tabloids in the start menu to supplement income, of course. There is a bit of truth in that joke, they have completely lost touch with their customers. You have PMs and designers making decisions about Windows... on their Macs.

Games were one of the few moats that Windows had. Now, you can get most productivity tools on a Mac, and most games on Linux. With no adverts on either. And the PC gaming customerbase aren't really tolerant of adverts. Possibly the only remaining advantage with Windows is that you can do both.
You can buy the Costco store inside the Costco store and then take it to another Costco store and get a refund...great customer service
Something fitting about this story being reported on yahoo.
> one of my points was that even prior to ChatGPT the ability existed for you to be "sucked into" a relationship with another under false pretenses

That's true, of course, but it's still interacting with a real human being. An adverse interaction, but at least a human.

> I don't see how, in a post-LLM-world, that can't be done.

I don't see how it can be done without losing much of the value of online interactions.

> also try going out and meeting people in the real world more.

I go out and meet real people plenty, thank you very much. But we're talking about online interactions here. There should be room for people online, too.
Google has been an advertising company for a long time now.
How many other laid off tech people are there in Bali?
Some of them did just fine:

In January 2011, Groupon raised $950 million in its last pre-IPO fundraising round. Yet by the end of March 2011, the company only had $209 million in cash, as All Things D’s Peter Kafka reported. So where did all the money go?

Turns out that even as Groupon was losing money, the company paid out over $800 million to company insiders, including $300 million to Groupon chairman Lefkofsky. Groupon, which turned down a $6 billion offer from Google, would later go public at a valuation of nearly $13 billion. It is now worth less than $3 billion, a 77% decline.

This is a neat data modeling exercise, but not sure why you'd prefer this approach over Neo4j.

It's much simpler to query in native graph database land (though it's not exactly SQL, it's pretty close to be honest). And there are performance / reliability implications of forcing postgres into graph land.

I can't speak to your other accusation, but I don't think these are written by ChatGPT - unless they are throwing in intentional spelling mistakes:

"besides the (very reaosnable) argument that he was the president so be definition anything he takes home should be deemed unclassified"

Edit: Though I see they claim that in their profile. Troll account's be trolling I guess.
- a helm 3 distro is 45M

- a terraform distro is 59M

- a kubectl distro is 44M

getting rust installed on a windows machine required not just a rust distro, but a visual c++ library set over 1G.

at a certain employer, the size of the teams golang tool was well over 100MB.

So - 50MB to start with a full Lisp image? yeah, sure, no worries.

> People have been claiming since the beginning of time that things will fall apart.

During that time period (beginning of time to now), things actually have fallen apart, many times.
> Another story is that some people pointed out a missing feature - moving lines or blocks of text up and down, as more advanced IDEs do. I volunteered to implement this feature, however I'm getting impression that the community is a bit puristic when it comes to features like that, based on feedback I get.

Wait, what does this add? I feel like in Helix I would just select a bunch of lines (say, via treesitter or the x command), and then I'd delete them, and paste them somewhere else. Could you elaborate what the difference is between this and 'moving lines or blocks of text up and down'?
You will find that in the real world people don't fall into neat categories of smart and disciplined always making the prudent decisions or foolish and undisciplined doomed to failure.

It's one of our sillier delusions that being good at one thing (say, for a completely random example not relevant at all to the Hacker News crowd, programming a computer) automatically makes you smart about everything.
No, it doesn't. If making nanotech was that easy I guarantee you others (including myself) would have done it ages ago.
These sort of agent-architecture AIs are where I think things will head and also where things will get more dangerous.

When an AI has a goal and an ability to break the goal down, and make progress towards the goal… the only thing stopping the AI from misalignment is whatever it’s creator has specified as the goal.

Things get even more tricky when the agent can take in new information and deprioritize goals.

I have been curious why OpenAI haven’t discussed Agent-based AIs.
I really wish they maintained a public API for clients rather than trying to shove a web browser in a client as they have now. You could support a theoretically infinite number of system via the API itself, even if the games aren't as playable on something like a NetBSD 2000s era machine.
6 lines is bazillions of words?!

It is not only not less than HD, which you were complaining about, it's more than HD. It's not only not as bad as you were complaining, it is better than what you were complaining about.

And not only is it better, it's also not 16:9, which loads of people complain about, it's 16:10. That is better too.

Which is why I pointed it out.

No, I do not work for Lenovo. I work for the Register. I wrote the article that you are complaining about. I wrote the story, and I posted it here on HN.

Ah yes pissing off your customers because you think they’ll not just accept a worse experience, they’ll actually pay more for it. It’s a bold strategy.

I will only rent a car if it has CarPlay. If it doesn't then I will rent another vehicle. It's not worth trying to get maps/phone setup in a car that I haven't driven and in a location that I am unfamiliar with. Where CarPlay allows me to use the same UI, apps settings et al that make it significantly easier.
I've used Carplay in a few cars. Mine doesn't even have it built-in, I swapped in an aftermarket Pioneer headunit that has Carplay.

It's worked fine with various sizes of screen.

As far as lag, there's some lag when using wireless Carplay mostly IME for audio playback, basically akin to the same delay when using Bluetooth.

I've never had nav issues with Apple Maps, but since iOS 16 or so, Google Maps frequently has issues where it stops updating my current location and gets stuck until I force-quit the app and re-open it, so that's a bummer.

Otherwise it's been fine. Handy the time I had to use a Kia rental and as soon as my phone was paired to it it was like my own personal car.

Does Steam run on Ubuntu 9 (or kernel 2.6)? Because that's what was current when Windows 7 was released.
I'd certainly accept a lower interest rate.
I have the feeling that you are in denial. Each time something new is discovered, the goal post has moved. In previous century billions were spent on trying to automate transation to other natural languages, without good results. Today an LLM can do this mere as part of a side effect. Non-natural languages as a bonus.
Cars and small electronic devices are not comparable.

GM is only doing this because they see an avenue to charge recurring fees, which smartphones obviated.
Seems logically like: They'll either fix their equipment or the frame next ticket if this is too much.

In shared sites like that, infra should all have a clear and obvious owner to report issues to.
There was an accusation of copyright violation a few years ago, nowadays it's visible.
There are definitely people who only use it on servers. Using NixOS on servers and Nix + macOS for the desktop/laptop is a somewhat common combo, too.

But NixOS is actually a very popular choice for desktop OS within the Nix community! That doesn't mean it's right for everyone, but it means that quite a lot of people who find Nix advantageous in other contexts also find it enjoyable or even indispensable for desktop usage.

When I still had an HTPC/living room gaming PC, it ran NixOS. It ran Kodi, a bunch of emulators with EmulationStation as the frontend, Steam, and a Plasma desktop (KWin's built-in fullscreen zoom + a good Steam Controller configuration is actually a great interface for full-fledged web browsing on a TV!) and served me very well for years.

It's the source of one of my favorite NixOS stories: one night my aunt was over to watch a movie with me, and I was running a NixOS system upgrade in the background while the movie played. It was a stormy night, and we had a brownout that forced the computer to reboot. Thanks to NixOS' atomic update procedure, the computer just booted right back up in a few seconds, and we put the movie back on! No need to troubleshoot or repair in order to get a working system. (I did later have to nuke some Nix cache which was corrupted by the process, but that affected only some of Nix's own operation and none of the application software or OS components that Nix managed on the system. Super cool!)
The only one that I'm actively monitoring is this one because it handles the other metrics AND gives a path forward to rapid charging, which is the core requirement to displace liquid fuels. IMO any battery advance that doesn't address rapid charging is going to fall to the wayside for exactly the reason you stated.

That is why persuasion is not a good thing to resolve with stats. Because you’re playing a role playing game. You inevitably have to come up with an argument to engage in persuasion.

“Hey guard, give me the keys”

Is not an argument that works ever.

“Hey guard, give me the keys so I can save your friend” is a substantially different scenario.

“Hey guard, give me the keys because we’re lifelong friends, and I’m going to save your friend, and you’ll probably die otherwise, and you owe me a debt, and because I have a solid reputation for keeping promises” is even more so.

If we’re already in agreement that version 1 should be all but impossible, 2 is plausible, and 3 is narratively obvious then what’s the point of the dice? If you roll poorly are you just forgetting to say those things in 3? Because that’s just a dumb way to take agency away from the player.

Persuasion isn’t meant to replace the merit of the argument. It’s meant to affect the articulation of it. But charismatic people aren’t mind controllers.
Except, whatever model is doing the orchestration will still not "understand" the problem (be able to learn from new information provided).
What a stupid move. Every infotainment system I used that didn't have CarPlay has been horrible. Either it was incredibly slow or hard to use. Going into a rental with CarPlay has always been awesome. Everything you need is right where you want it, no matter the vehicle. The only closest to being good has been Tesla.
Anecdotally, when we get older our ability to assess new evidence weakens, or the weights get rusted into place.

Being friends with an immortal vampire would be a chore. "Blood tasted so much better in Sumeria", "There's nothing wrong with clay tablets for a diary, it never crashes or needs an update."
The Fed wants to keep rates as low as possible because their mandate is to keep inflation at 2% and maximize employment. If inflation is at or under 2%, then lowering rates will increase economic activity and increased economic activity will reduce unemployment.
> your 2023 chevy bolt euv is already streaming all of your driving parameters to GM via onstar.

Is it? I’ve already turned off the Chevrolet Smart Driver or whatever it’s called, I know about that one sending data back to GM. And I canceled OnStar as soon as I purchased the vehicle, but I wouldn’t be surprised to learn if it’s still siphoning data anyway.

Still, the situation would get worse for me because at least right now using CarPlay they aren’t getting all the data about which books or music I’m listening to.
During the paper logs era that was the first thing they asked for because if they could prove the truck wasn’t able to be there legally their client wouldn’t have been able to slam in the back of it because they were texting.

Not even kidding…

All of your hand waving and jungle gym of qualifications boil down to you thinking AI will "solve" art as a technical problem. Which, of course, is ridiculous. The purpose of art is to communicate intangible, and sometimes indescribable emotions and ideas about the human condition. It's the difference between a poem and prose describing the same thing using the same words in a different order. When AI can become it's own art critic so perceptive that it can make better qualitative judgements on microscopic levels about what constitutes good and bad art, it will no longer be artificial. It will just be intelligent. Can it remix it? Pantomime it? Demonstrably. Percieve and reason about it at a human enough level to remove humans from the process entirely? Magical thinking. Even if that did happen, and your crowd of starry-eyed bandwagoneers isn't just confusing technology with magic as humans have always done, the fact that your first instinct is to literally rub it in the faces of people who stand to lose the most is unfathomably pathetic. I can't imagine the person who did that would have anything close to the emotional perception and sophistication to reason about how most people perceive something as fundamentally emotional as art. You don't just need therapy, you need to read philosophy.

I'm completely done with this pointless pedantic argument against your lack of understanding.
