I believe this is a totally commendable position but I also believe that you're naive about this ruling. I think this is the power classes freaking out someone might be eating their lunch or discovering their dirty secrets.

For example, what if some italians uses chatgpt and leak things you dont wanna know about italy? That, I believe would prompt otherwise slow-to-act politicians to jump off their rocking-chairs and start making some phone calls.

Not about your neck.

Just a guess.
Government jobs in Germany are quite good depending on your perspective. Getting the Beamten status makes you basically unfireable, and the pensions are so generous that becoming Beamter with E-15 ist equivalent to a solid millionaire.

And if their remembering-and-retelling constitutes a "derivative work" (or, perhaps, a "public performance"), they may be in trouble, despite the original work being openly published.
Italy pops up quite frequently when reading about expensive specialist machinery like industrial robots or pipe laying ships.

In other words, it produces real things apart from food.

This is a great privacy initiative that will help Europeans focus further on things that actually matter as opposed to data mining.
Just not very practical ones.

There was a busy front page thread for each of Obama's election wins, Trump's First, and Biden's win. There were numerous busy threads on the Obama campaign's use of technology leading up to his first election. I'd say it's working out okay ~15 years into the experiment of unkilling certain historically significant political threads.
>Can we please keep to a constructive discussion?

I don't think calling attention to the speaker's unarguable taint and bias is "unproductive." On the contrary, such details are important for a reasoned and skeptical perspective.

When FUD is being used (yes, it does happen!), we should call it by its name.

>He also makes a good point that it may not be pragmatic to focus on a single technology at this point instead of being open and neutral and to see what ends up working best.

I don't see how the EV industry is focusing on a single technology. Battery chemistries can be swapped out in the same cans. Motor technology can be mix-and-match. Even power electronics has several different major technologies.

>Production of batteries has indeed issues, from mining to geopolitics.

The same can be said for literally all mined and/or energy products. Energy is power (in both senses), so this is just a tautology.

>Recycling of batteries also faces issues.

That's nothing compared to the "issues" recycling fossil fuels! (See: the e-fuel crowd)

Batteries can be infinitely recycled, and the materials get better with time. Current technology recovers over 95% of the raw material, and the output is suitable for turning into new batteries. Unlike most materials it's not 'downcycling' to lower grade material, in fact the impurities improve!

> electricity production and required updates to national grids are clearly lagging behind everywhere.

This is why you hook EVs to the internet, and use it to monitor the grid while charging and act accordingly. "Move bits not atoms."

Incidentally this list makes up the usual constellation of FUD arguments deployed against EVs for (literally) decades by legacy incumbents, so the anti-anti-FUD sentiment rings especially hollow.
Data wants to be free.
If it's based on LLaMA, aren't these weights just some sort of "patch" for the initial model, which is licensed under a restrictive license?

Or is this work "transferable" to other LLMs, once they become available?

For me Flash was fully in the broadband era. We watched and played (and I even made some for class credit) at high school and at home. Whenever they took more than 10 seconds to load you knew you were in for a treat. But 7-10 mins? I don’t recall it being that order of magnitude.
I'm willing to give a BSD a shot. But trying out OSes is so tiring now that I'm nearly 40. I really just want to pay for a working computer.

I recently was given an Apple computer for work, and I really loathe the whole experience. I'm completely spoiled by how flexible Linux is. You can make it do whatever you want. Apple seems hell bent on not letting you do anything, and what it does do is inefficient or clunky or just broken.

I would go back to Windows, but I keep hearing about how new versions are worse recently. And I expect it's a resource pig.

So before I switch away from Alpine (I finally got it working mostly well; but I have to be extremely careful before installing any package, because it likes to brick itself by removing packages like the wifi support), I'll give BSD a shot. But I anticipate hardware problems and maybe software problems too.
Yes that's why I said I agree with your overall point.

But laws such as GDPR are only as good as their enforcement. It would be better if there was a European privacy regulator directly under the EU instead of big tech being able to cherry pick the country that gets to supervise them.

But no the EU is not serving the US big tech industry no. I'm just remarking that the system isn't perfect and there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of drive to improve it.
As far as I concern, "feelings" or "sensations" is just a vector in finite dimensional space. No magic behind. Taste can already be replicated.

If you are in a development environment, you can set up a single node Replica Set. Some features like transactions and change streams rely on the oplog collection which only exists in Replica Set. A Replica Set can work with a single primary node. You won't have fail over of course, but it's not the point in a dev environment.
"We have right now 1.3 billion cars (that are) internal combustion engine powered on the planet. We need to replace that with clean mobility"

Why do we need to replace 1.3 billion engines instead of reducing the need for having them in the first place?

What if we reduce mobility by say 20%? Not only less cars of any kind but less infrastructure to build and maintain.
The user is doing it. They are literally typing it. They are consenting to this. We don't need "watchdogs" "protecting" us from stuff we want to do ourselves.

I didn't see any mention of sustained discharge rate. I mean, pretty much any battery will put out about as much current as you ask of it. But that comes with heat scaling problems and heat dramatically effects capacity. So at what kind of discharge rate are they seeing ”72% higher capacity by weight than Li-Ion," and how does it compare to typical Li-Ion usage?
Good summary: https://www.politico.eu/article/italian-privacy-regulator-ba...

The key issue under GDPR seems to be that OpenAI:

> lacks a legal basis justifying "the mass collection and storage of personal data ... to 'train' the algorithms" of ChatGPT"

My reading: OpenAI could comply with this by modifying ChatGPT to give users protected by GDPR a clear choice to opt-in vs opt-out on their chats being used as future OpenAI training data.
Wh/Kg is the relevant metric to optimize though. Whether it’s LFP or solid state doesn’t matter. If that company is building higher density LFP batteries, that addresses every concern you mention.
It's more complicated then that.

For example the right decisions in a small company vs. FANG is often quite different, potentially outright the opposite. Not just because of differences in people, time and money resources but also due to scale.

Like you spending a day or even week to optimize something to be a bit faster can save millions in just a year if used on the scale of google. But in a startup the pure salary cost of spending a day on it can easily be more then it saves in 5 years. And due to the small number of time and human resources the actual cost can easily be much higher.

You can see this in some of the design decisions around open source tooling from FANG companies. They are often designed for a context of: "Many highly qualified people working at the same time at the same project. And micro optimizations being important."

But what smaller companies have is: "A small group of very mixed qualified people working one it. Rarely more then very small number at the same time on the same component. Most micro optimizations being clearly out of scope. Constantly chasing a schedule where a single larger delay can be a catastrophe for the company."

For example for a FANK company breaking changes on internal APIs are often a no go, but for small companies they can often be a no brainier especially if it doesn't involve any migration complications.

Or for example for Google a single service stopping is often worse then it running amok and creating a mess, for a small company which might only provide one or two services such a mess can mean insolvency, but an outage might not.

Or for example in a small company having a repo where you define all the (internal & external) APIs and use it to generate glue code to bind all your services together in a "type safe" manner can be a grate thing to have (if you have the right tooling). For a FANG company where not just many people but many teams might work on code interacting with the same overlapping APIs this isn't a viable approach at all.
Over the last few decades Europe has solidified its position in the world’s museum. Italy has a leading position in this development.

Satire aside, the priority in Europe is not a prosperous future — it’s social stability.
If you don't mind my asking then, I'm confused about why industry changes still caused you to leave.
Hmm maybe look at one of those kits where you build a computer out of a rasberry PI.
That link doesn't really show anything useful.

I'll wait to see how it holds up when the EU tries to enforce it against a US website with no presence of any kind in the EU.
Writing from rome, italy.

These bureaucrats only pretend to work. The number of privacy violations in italy is staggering, i have to take 10 calls a day from power companies because they have access to all the phone number of anybody who has a gas or energy contract.

I had to change phone numbers. Meanwhile they are going against a service that as far as i know does not even require your name to serve you.
New technologies have proven peak oil off by quite a number of years, but not wrong perse.

It is a finite resource after all and if we don't reach a peak through depletion, climate change will force us to greatly reduce extraction.

Peak oil isn't wrong, it is inevitable.
I tend to agree on this one.

Yes, there is a whole lot of jockeying to be a chokepoint (an artificial barrier between business and customer where even more money can be extracted for minimal service). I can't stand chokepoints, it's kind of like a man-in-the-middle attack on your money.

That being said, "I've created a chokepoint" seems like about 75% of all startups - finding a way to get between customers and something they need, creating a way for their startup to get money for basically delivering something that was already being delivered another way. "We do it better than the other guy" is basically bullshit.

So the cynical part is right - "if I don't get in on this cash grab, someone else will," but it seems like the nature of capitalism, really
There are usually a few threads discussing major or controversial political news. Dang is good about collapsing them and keeping things isolated there. It is pretty easy to avoid these threads and they fall off the front page quickly. I don’t think they add much to HN, but I like to skim them as this community’s take is the least biased.
The user-hostile forms aren't actually compliant with the regulation - any form that makes it easier to accept than to decline is against the GDPR and would not count as valid data processing consent, thus you may as well not have one and track by default.

The reason those forms proliferated is because a few snake-oil vendors (TrustArc, etc) sell fake compliance solutions that merely look compliant but actually annoy most people into accepting which is preferred by their (scummy) customers instead of actually-compliant solutions (would put them out of business or force them to severely trim down the marketing/advertising teams).

Since there is no significant enforcement of the regulation, these practices persist.
It also seems to have been the first Trump-anything that antifa didn't show up for, which is... odd, given their stated goals.
They can always just sell via their US site, and the onus would be on the EU to block the site within their borders.

Although realistically no big company would really do this.
Another sensible suggestion that gets downvoted.

My son has language disorder and we just build together a Scratch program to train his inflection skills. Lists of verbs randomly mix with lists of adjectives and nouns.

There are plenty of things that people “aren’t willing to pay for” on an individual level yet are overall beneficial for society at large. That’s why the tragedy of the commons is a concept.

The point is that unless you’re willing to pay people enough money and provide enough job security to create high-quality content, you will inevitably end up with advertising, attention-seeking, and subsidization as the main business models.
Please no, no extreme changes to what I've or others have written, I want to be able to get at least a reasonable idea of the performance and behavior some code will have in some particular context by looking at the code itself.

Stop trying to be as lazy as possible in such a bad way. Making compilers make up for a lack of programming ability is a mistake.

The "meat and potatoes" of this complaint seems to be GDPR regulations. I assume this applies only to the ChatGPT product of OpenAI, as their terms state that API data is not used to train the model but WebUI ChatGPT data is.

Pretty sure Mac users would disagree.
It hasn't for 5 years, and if their business is inherently incompatible with the regulation, then making some money from spiting the regulation for as long as possible is better than complying and not making money to begin with.
Singapore has to be one of the worst places to live. I don't care how 'nice' their society might seem, their overstep is too steep by far.

"Custom officers can subject travellers to a drug screening test at the point of entry to Singapore. If you test positive for drugs, you can be arrested and prosecuted, even if the drugs were consumed prior to your arrival in the country."

That's insanity.
Ah the old "it'd be cheap if you'd just let us try and kill you".

If your business model requires hundreds of emergency workers to heroically dive on the grenade once every couple of years to stop the disaster getting orders of magnitude worse than merely destroying a country's economy for decades, then it's going to start getting very hard to find people to keep diving on the grenade.
That’s not necessarily the case, especially at smaller companies.

A friend of mine leads a department of ~20 people at a midsize company (~1000 employees). They were told late one afternoon that the company was announcing a 10% layoff the following day, that they needed to reduce their departmental payroll accordingly, and to submit a list of employees to lay off by next morning, using performance as the primary criterion for whom to cut. This was feasible and fair, since a manager of 20 people can know exactly how well each of them is performing. (In fact, the employees my friend ended up dismissing were ones they’d wanted to get rid of for a while, but didn’t quite meet the stringent criteria for PIPing, so it was actually a relief to be able to let them go.)

At bigger companies, layoffs cannot get decided with such granularity (decisions come from several levels above managers familiar with each and every employee being laid off), so individual performance is a much smaller factor.

You're talking about a website you have to specifically visit and type your personal information in to, which doesn't even ask for your name and which is simultaneously being accused of not knowing enough about you (your age). There is no "protection" needed here. If you don't like it, don't use it.
So far most of the rulings have followed the pattern predicted before the GDPR was enacted, and the fines have been rising steadily for repeat offenders.

FB is asking to be made into an example. And yes, you are right, an EU privacy regulator would be good to have but the EDPB is doing a reasonably good job of supervising the member states so far and as the law becomes more settled (and respected) I would expect differences between countries to be leveled. Time will tell.
Costs of lots of stuff is quite a bit higher, from food to rent.
Disclosure: left-leaning progressive

Meh, ppl comparing heads of state costs with the rest of us has always struck me as incredibly reductive and point-scoring mentality. Executive functions need to get a bigger budget than the normies (or in this case, the security "immune system"). I don't value private jets for much of anything, but maybe shuttling heads of state (as ppl in charge of our collective society, not just shareholder value) in a secure and efficient manner is one of those places?

I'd venture to guess we'll eventually discover an almost information theoretic grounding for such things. Brains do consume 20% of the human energy budget, after all ;)

Obviously being a bit handwavey here. Not in favour of corruption or getting wealthy. But the costs of the executive function don't seem served by such simple comparisons * shrug *
Isn’t that what the gig economy is basically already?
> By the time Flash was really getting big, everyone was on 56k, (rarely) ISDN, or ~1mbps broadband of one type or another.

From my memory¹ the big flash days in terms of my interaction with stuff created with it, started as I was upgrading from 36k6 to 56k at home (though I had faster access at University sites) and ended around the time I bumped up from 512kbit to 2mbit downstream.

*> But even with 56k, you're getting 5kBps.

Usually less. It was rare to connect faster than 45k on most lines, 42k on some.

Of course once upgraded (first from ~56k modem to 512kbit ADSL), and before upgrading at home but using faster connections at uni/work, there were other issues: often the sites we were getting the flash content from would not deliver nearly as fast as the new line could receive²³ so a ½Mbyte+ flash app could still take a noticeable time to arrive.

> We have right now 1.3 billion cars (that are) internal combustion engine powered on the planet. We need to replace that with clean mobility.

If by "clean mobility" he means "more cars", then I'd ask: why?
These analyses are based on replacing all current ICE cars 1:1 with equivalent BEV. Why? Smaller personal vehicles, (electric) bicycles, public transport, better train infrastructure, car sharing are all alternatives to having the same number of cars on the roads.

> Our societies are losing a lot of great potential by not having a technology-neutral regulations.

hahahaha. "technology-neutral regulations"? As long as different technologies have different effects on the world, there is no such thing as "technology-neutral" regulation. You cannot say all cars are equal if your objective is to have clean air and less CO2 emissions.
Meanwhile almost everyone I know has the same opportunities available and is not eyeing the exit, in fact actively choosing to be paid less to stay here in the UK rather than deal with the standard of living in places like the US. My company operates in the UK and the US and I could transfer. Having visited and spent weeks at a time there, I actively choose not to despite the fact I would likely be eligible for it, and see a significant salary bump. I would live in a bigger house, drive a nicer car, but that's not an increase in a standard of living, that's an increase in a perception of my standards.
