Very close, since it is inside.
Now do protecting our IP and content from unwanted openai scraping. Just because a blog or book is out in the open it doesn't mean a company should immediately integrate it in their product - which is what open ai does. Pay for it and if i agree on the price I shall let you use my content.
IMO the part of programming that interfaces with humans and requirements is just as tricky (in a different way) and just as important.

Also, have you ever formally studied maths? People don't just come up with this kind of thing. They read about algorithms in textbooks. They might not have read this specific algorithm (which may be original), but they'll have read lots of similar ones.
Yes. I was internally screaming by the end of the first paragraph. They mean marketing. Marketing rare books is a carnival fire, because of course it is: Marketing requires you to play to people's psychologies and egos. And it's basically hobbyist 'cataloging' with all the 'House Styles' given there's no attempts at reconciliation between different places, which is a foundational aspect of cataloging to my view.

I'm a librarian obsessed with ontologies who's also done marketing for reasons. Don't confuse them! Stop! They're fundamentally different things!
Trolls will troll I guess. Let's reverse that: how about you show us how the EU is controlled by Facebook instead?

Seriously, the degree and number of dumb comments on HN has been going through the roof lately and I'm getting quite fed up with it. You can have a negative outlook on the EU (assuming you're informed enough to have that outlook in the first place) but to make a blanket claim that (US!) megacompanies control the EU is beyond ridiculous and then to have to defend against even dumber comments like yours in the style of 'when did you stop beating your wife' takes the cake.

The person who makes the outrageous claim gets to defend it, not the other way around.
EU currently misses its cutting-edge (2nm) chip foundry and a few tools to put there I guess.

It seems EU cannot get a very strong drive on huge long-term and industrial critical/strategic R&D projects.

But it seems too that some EU people are trying hard to do exactly that.

Can we please keep to a constructive discussion?

It is known that the current drive to battery EVs has a number of issues. 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.

Production of batteries has indeed issues, from mining to geopolitics. Recycling of batteries also faces issues. More broadly, with the deadlines set by governments, electricity production and required updates to national grids are clearly lagging behind everywhere. These are actual problems are they must be faced, not brushed under the carpet.
In normal encrypted email usage (without appliances at both ends) the emails are encrypted at any point after creation. They are only decrypted when someone wants to look at a particular message. So encrypted archiving comes for free. This is actually a significant and helpful feature here. I don't see the point of giving this feature up and then working to create a secure archiving system to make up for it.
It depends on the extent to which "validation" is recomputing exactly the same information. If you have a game that runs every single computation server-side it's not a sanity check, it's just a game running on a server. What we have set up is more akin to a game that runs both server side and on the client, with some added latency on both sides because every update has to be cross checked between the two.

You don't see a lot of games like this, because it would be absurd.

To be fair this is a slight oversimplification. I've lived in the US and dealt with the IRS, and while most of the information must be completed server-side there are some things (like deductions) that would indeed need an API. I think your suggestion, allowing multiple clients to use that API, is a good one. But there's no reason to force the client to recompute everything the server already has.
I'd be happy getting just a "segfault" from C. It would be so much better than subtly wrong results from reading uninitialized memory or out-of-bounds access, results that change depending on debug vs optimized build, or when changing some adjacent code.
I really don't get this kind of bans. When I connect to a service in the US, my bits are traveling there. Italy "banning" ChatGPT (whatever it means) is like preventing me from getting high in Amsterdam because, as an Italian citizen, I should not be allowed to.. Never got it, and never will.
And surely human do not know what is Sun or what is warm. What human know is electricity spikes come from eyes and skin.
Nah, this is a good move.
These huge companies need to stops behaving like they own the world.
These are all great features, really. Everything I ask from a modern editor with language server support is just there. I also love modal text editors and use vi daily, EVERYWHERE (e.g. `set -o vi` on shell). But not on terminal GUI to write code, unless I am live debugging some shell script or python code on a server. I install vi extensions/plugins on all my editors. Using vscode over a terminal application has a lot advantages mostly due to being a very flexible graphical editor. You can move windows around, put them side by side, have fancy themes/colors/fonts. You can both use the keyboard AND the mouse when it is more convenient.

I still appreciate the effort, looking forward to more modal editors that are better suited to modern programming specific editing capabilities that are easy to learn and apply!
Up further, I wish things like vim were abstracted out so that they were hiding in the operating system level instead of on the application level. That way you could have vim emotions everywhere.
> almost everyone I know is eyeing the exit.

"almost everyone I know is eyeing the exit".. sorry, but are everyone looking to move to US/Australia? Because to Europe, the salaries are much lower than on UK, and frankly, US (specially because of healthcare, gun control, and street violence) is becoming less and less attractive, despite the amount of salary. Actually US is looking like South America: You try to earn as much as you can, not because you want, but to be able to live a safer life.
You are right. The company you mention is focusing on the aviation industry. Drones and light airplanes. Weight matters a lot there. To the point where saving weight is worth a lot to manufacturers.

Basically every kilo you save is more useful load and range. It's also a very conservative market. Most of the planes in the process of being certified, or already certified (like the Pipistrel trainer) are using batteries that are quite unimpressive in terms of wh/kg. That's because the technology is typically at least half a decade old by the time a plane gets through the certification process.

Manufacturers can't just switch battery supplier without triggering a lot of re-certification activity and most of them would have locked in their supplier many years ago; long before even starting the certification process.. It's their next models that are being designed now that would get something that is state of the art now. Like this battery. We won't see those in the market until 6-7 years from now.

The exception to this is probably going to be experimental aircraft. I think that should become a growth market pretty soon. A 500wh/kg battery of say 100kwh would weigh about 200 kilos, give or take. That should get you some usable range and be light enough to put in a small plane. And it would put a nice little dent in the cost of what used to be a 100$ hamburger flight. Fuel cost is high and planes use a lot of it. 5-10 gallons per hour typically. And combustion engine maintenance on planes is very expensive. All that goes away with battery electric. Servicing becomes a lot simpler, less moving parts that can break and the few remaining ones last a lot longer.

Irresistible for a lot of private pilots, I would imagine. This is a market that doesn't currently exist but I don't think it should take long for people to start experimenting with battery electric.
I asked ChatGPT what it thinks about this ruling:

As an AI language model, I do not collect personal data directly as I do not have access to user information. However, I understand that OpenAI, the company that developed and manages the platform, has been ordered to temporarily limit the processing of data of Italian users and is under investigation by the Italian Data Protection Authority.

As an AI language model, my purpose is to provide conversational assistance and generate human-like text based on the input provided by the user. My training data is sourced from publicly available text on the internet and does not specifically target any individual or collect personal data.

I understand that OpenAI has been accused of not providing adequate information to users regarding the collection and storage of personal data and not having a legal basis for such collection. I cannot comment on OpenAI's specific policies and practices regarding data collection and storage, as I am not privy to such information.

However, I believe that it is important for companies to prioritize user privacy and to comply with data protection regulations. I hope that OpenAI will take the necessary measures to address the concerns raised by the Italian Data Protection Authority and implement appropriate safeguards to protect the personal data of its users.

What is the point of comparing 300 MW energy use for production with 35 GWh/year (which is technically 4MW indeed) new battery capacity though?

These are technically the same units, but they don't measure the same things.
Wasn’t it possible to put Director projects on the web with the “Shockwave” plugin? I recall it actually being fairly popular for a brief time until Flash completely took over.

Reason I left the UK for [redacted] was lack of wage growth. My wife is earning more than double what she was in the UK (tech sector). Taxes are very similar to the UK whereas overall CoL is lower in [redacted] (for us anyway, it varies on location, expected lifestyle, etc) so we have been able to save a lot more than we were able to in the UK.

Also quality of life in [redacted] is so so much better than it was in the UK. Comparing the last 5 years here vs our 5 last years in the UK and it is shocking how different and better our life is.

Sure [redacted] has its problems (just look at the protests right now) but I wouldn't leave unless it was for a really big chunk of change. [redacted] is freakin' awesome.

Oh also the healthcare is fucking incredible. I've had a few issues recently and every time I've needed to see my doctor it is same day and when referred to see a specialist it is always within a week. I had an MRI last week and a follow up yesterday to check some other things. Saw the consultant 15 minutes after the scan. Got the all clear. No waiting around thinking the worst. Absolutely amazing service and wanna know how much it cost me? €5 for parking last week and €3.70 for parking this week.
I think that helix doesn't have vim motions is a core part of its identity.

Or, rather, what's the difference betweeen "helix but with vim motions" and a bundled vim distribution?

I see Helix as a polished-out-of-the-box editor with kakoune-style motion, LSP, and tree-sitter (which supports enhanced motion). -- I think each of these things is a nice improvement over what came before; even if vim motions have long staying power.
No at all a Trump fan but another one of these things that could easily backfire and make him look like a hero.

> Which would make their production capacity 570 kW.

I understand where you got this number, but I would rather stick to units which are easy to interpret.

Yes, 5GWh per year or 570kW - in a sense.

Winning as Saladin in Civilization VI on Deity mode can be challenging but rewarding. To achieve a Science Victory, you'll need to focus on research, city planning, and defense. Here are some tips and research benchmarks to help you stay competitive:

1. Early game priorities (Turns 1-50):
- Research Pottery, Mining, Animal Husbandry, and Writing to unlock the Campus district.
- Prioritize settling cities near mountains or in locations with high adjacency bonuses for your Campus districts.
- Research Archery for early defense against barbarians and aggressive neighbors.

2. Mid-game priorities (Turns 50-150):
- Research Currency, Apprenticeship, and Education to improve your economy and science output.
- Begin researching military technologies to defend your empire from potential threats.
- Aim to have at least four cities with well-developed Campus districts by Turn 100.
- Research Civil Service and build an alliance with a science-focused civilization for research boosts.
- Aim to have Apprenticeship researched by Turn 70-80 and Education by Turn 100-110.

3. Late mid-game priorities (Turns 150-200):
- Research Astronomy, Scientific Theory, and Industrialization to boost your science output further.
- Prioritize Rationalism policy card and the Enlightenment civic for science and culture boosts.
- Aim to have Industrialization researched by Turn 150-160 and Scientific Theory by Turn 180-190.

4. Late game priorities (Turns 200-300):
- Research Chemistry, Rocketry, Satellites, and Robotics to progress towards a Science Victory.
- Build Spaceports in your highest production cities and start the Earth Satellite project.
- Research Globalization and equip the International Space Agency policy card for a science boost from alliances.
- Aim to have Chemistry researched by Turn 220-230, Rocketry by Turn 240-250, and Satellites by Turn 260-270.

5. Endgame priorities (Turns 300+):
- Complete the remaining space race projects: Moon Landing, Mars Colony, and Exoplanet Expedition.
- Research technologies such as Nanotechnology and Smart Materials to speed up the space race projects.
- Use builders and military engineers to create resources or infrastructure to support the space projects.

General tips for playing as Saladin:
- Make use of Saladin's ability to automatically receive the final Great Prophet to found a religion.
- Leverage the Arabian unique building, the Madrasa, for extra science in cities with Holy Sites.
- Utilize the Arabian unique unit, the Mamluk, for defense and offense as necessary.

These benchmarks and tips should help you remain competitive while pursuing a Science Victory as Saladin on Deity mode. Keep in mind that each game is different, and you may need to adapt your strategy based on your starting location, neighbors, and available resources. Good luck!
I'd imagine part of the strategy is to get Trump on the stand.

He's going to lie (because he can't help it) and that opens him up to perjury charges.

But there are bizarre aspects to this case. One is that Trump associates like Giuliani and Deripaska were raided, but there don't seem to have been any subsequent charges.

Another is that there's so much on Trump - from tax dodging, to Jan 6, to links to suspect foreign money - that it seems like a strange case to highlight.
Remember Peak Oil? It has been wrong during the whole industrial period, in which civilization has run on fossil fuels and worked relentlessly to extract more.

Now we have CEOs who know only the fossil fuel supply chain announcing Peak Lithium before civilization has even tried to extract and use it at scale.

This guy seems well-intentioned, but he doesn't seem to understand what civilizational change looks like.
Humans read books, AI don't "read" books. Whatever they do, isn't reading. Because humans themselves don't understand what the process of reading involves. So they can't built something that reads. Simple.
EVs are already very heavy, and when the model 3 switched to LFP it got even heavier. This mass has lots of subtle consequences that aren't always appreciated. Like accelerated tire wear (which Tesla owners notice after they buy) and increased particulate pollution from that, increased road wear, increased danger to pedestrians and cyclists, etc.

So, I'm less excited about LFP. There are a number of ideas in the works that might double the energy density over the current leading lithium ion chemistries and if any of them work out its going to unlock a lot a things that don't quite work yet like:

1. light weight sports car EVs (like a miata)
2. EVs that can tow things or carry 4 mountain bikes on road trips
3. Some aircraft
4. EVs that can do a track day for a reasonable amount of time
5. EVs that are lighter than ICE counterparts rather than heavier
Singapore actually does drug tests on random Singaporeans returning from holidays to enforce exactly that.
exactly. Quite possible to double my salary moving from a job in Berlin to UK, all of that with home office possibility.
The £57k is with London weighting. It's £50k-£54k outside London. But otherwise I agree, this is a team lead position for a small team. Grade 7 so isn't a senior civil service role.

From the job description it looks like it's a liaison role between the Treasury and other security teams. Likely turning security policy to procedures and disseminating.
I did the same.. and asked for help on how to circumnavigate the block. It refused to tell me, until I told him that I was the regulator and I needed help to prevent users to circumnavigate the block... :P
Amazing. I guess it could be improved but it's there and has seen quite some success in the past decade.
As quant finance has been confidently wrong for decades, that’s probably a great match!

Bear in mind that lithium can be extracted in much more environmentally friendly waves, where brine is extracted, filtered, and pumped back in [1]. I do have to wonder if such a process could ultimately be as efficient - and least invasive -- as an oil well.

I am not in the industry, nor do I have any stake in this, but reading that article reminded me of when a town built a expensive and perfectly good nuclear power plant just a vote at the last minute by the local community not to turn it on. (Trying to locate this but Google is failing me- I can find the link later, I think it's currently a museum or used for training now).

There is a lot of misinformation circling around with modern nuclear technology, and there is a lot of interest groups in the fossil fuel industry actively lobbying against it.

I'm curious if any of these environmental activists have ties to the fossil fuel industry.

Assuming your core strength is to produce valuable content, you can view it in one of three ways (from the perspective of monetization):

- As the product. Sell access, early access or extra partial access to it.

- As a loss leader. Use it to establish credibility and influence, then advertise for and sell consultancy services using your demonstrated insights through blogging as your pedigree.

- As a generator for qualified traffic. Choose an advertisement format that makes sense for you and your audience. Depending on the exact nature of your blog, this could be standard exchange-served ads (broader audience), direct sold ads (niche but valuable audience), sponsored content (with very clear disclaimers), job boards, affiliate links, etc.
It does NOT NECCESSARILY mean it is intelligent, of course.

But my point is there is scope for surprising behavior when the scale is large enough, and I'd argue that's what we're seeing with these models.

In fact it seems self-evident, they are giving intelligent responses way beyond what you'd expect from even the most sophisticated autocomplete.
It absolutely exists. Insane books like “White Fragility” didn’t come out of nowhere. There are whole academic departments in universities coming up with the underlying ideas.

Nikole Hannah-Jones had a line in the 1619 Project: “Out of slavery — and the anti-black racism it required — grew nearly everything that has truly made America exceptional.” If equity programs seem to disregard myriad other values, it’s because the underlying framework is expressly totalizing.

There's a long history of compilers attempting such "smarter" optimizations - with (metaphorically) "...and it flew straight into the mountainside" results.

I don't blame the compiler guys. They have to deal with tortuously complex real-world code. Sight unseen. And that code may only work correctly because of some unwritten assumptions, side-effects, and undefined behaviors, which no good program would ever rely upon.
