The breadth of that tool is just incredible. I'm about to submit my first PR to them to fix a couple of bugs in their PEF parser (classic Mac OS PowerPC executables), but it's absolutely bonkers that they have that support to begin with, and that it all works as well as it does. I'm very pleased to see my tax dollars going to something like that.
IANAL but these seem like two different accusations.

Copying a movie and watching it in your own home and sharing it with your neighbour is different from redistributing a new film you claim is your own but is derived directly from the movie you downloaded; sure your changed the character names and dubbed over a few lines but you didn’t create the assets used and you didn’t attribute the sources of the ones didn’t alter or produce on your own.

I think the argument is that It’d be like those knock-off studios using someone else’s footage in parts of their films without permission.
Recent article (forgot the link, but I’m sure it’s on google) basically said BMW, VW, and many others are abandoning solid state batteries because of its negligible performance compared to LiFePo4 and regular NMC batteries that are easier to produce and are slowly improving their density and stability.
I agree that G’Kar and Londo are exceptional characters, but I would take Vir Cotto over a dozen Nogs and Quarks any day of the week. And I rate Neroon over Odo too. Granted Neroon didn’t get much screen time as Odo, but he has the same kind of arc and carries it off much more convincingly. Kira is a pretty great character too, in most episodes.
That's too long, make it 2 lines or less.

The vast majority of humans cannot do that. Are they not generally intelligent?
We’re constrained in what way? Are you saying we can’t produce enough food and shelter for virtually all of the human population?

The USSR provided food and shelter using maybe 20-30% of its economy to do so. What is there a scarcity of? iPhones?

Even middle income countries have more problems with obesity and diabetes than hunger. What is there a scarcity of exactly ?
> They're a lot heavier

A bit heavier, but not "a lot." A model 3 is between around 3600 and just over 4000 pounds, depending on trim. Not far off a similar size ICE vehicle.
Easy: all nonfree software you have to decompile to view the 'source' is dodgy by design.

Yea! I actually wanted to teach using Deno back in 2019! It was a stretch topic for the last couple weeks of class in my syllabus but we were too far behind.

Show HN: Using ChatGPT-4 in a productivity app to prioritize tasks
I wonder if you’ve considered academics as a target market. We have a lot of pdfs and might like help in “thinking” about them.
OpenAI’s fear-mongering efforts have been really transparent. As an example, in the ABC News piece, one of their employees discusses asking GPT to help build a bomb. Your employees using words like “bomb” on television is not something that happens by accident.
Which is what I'm saying. Technological progress will happen whether we like it or not. If we want to continue to be able to afford food, rather than ranting against AI and calling for its ban we need to instead work to fix the economic system so AI can be used for good. Relying on the charity of corporations for basic survival was always a bad idea.
> properly run crypto custodians don't make the news, are 100% collateralized and can withstand 100% withdrawals in an orderly fashion

This is all properly-run custodians. They don’t make the news because they shouldn’t. Institutions demanded custody for crypto because they wanted the safety traditional custodians provide.

In the old days, CFOs were trained on sweeping cash across FDIC-insured accounts and custodying Treasuries and the like. Apparently, that is now obsolete.
The extra weight will significantly increase road wear, which is unfair because the road maintenance is paid by a gas tax, which EV drivers are not paying.

I am getting an electric car, a cheap one.

It is one of the best cars I have ever driven. I like driving.

I think the very heavy battery helps.

That said, modern electric cars are given away for free (the one I'm getting is). The only thing you pay for is the battery. I found this out by pricing replacement batteries....

The whole model of car making is going to collapse if batteries become cheaper, but for now: By a battery and get a car thrown in.....

I don't think you understand what I mean. There is a share button, and they generate a link for each clip... You can access it by clicking on the "#1234" button (which is not obvious that it's a button/link), but when you open the share menu, there is no option to just copy the url there... instead it's just buttons for facebook, linkedin, and twitter.
Just for some more perspective, a 747 outputs 12,500 tons of CO2 per year. So training GPT4 is basically of no major CO2 concern, especially when you consider how much CO2 it saves.

Saves in the sense that humans no longer have to do the work, GPT-4 can just spit it out in seconds so no need for lights, computers to run, food to be produced for the human to eat, etc.
The article concludes by urging readers to choose real human connection over the easy comfort of digital distractions

I feel like there is an emerging consensus that [Chat]GPT 3.5/4 is not just 1 big model.

A large part of the magic in the final product appears to be many intermediate layers of classification that select the appropriate LLM/method to query. The cheaper models (e.g. Ada/Babbage) could be used for this purpose. Think about why offensive ChatGPT prompts are rejected so quickly compared to legitimate asks for code.

Imagine the architectural advantage of a big switch statement over models trained in different domains or initial vectors. Cross-domain queries could be managed mostly across turns of conversation w/ summarization. Think about the Stanford Alpaca parse analysis diagram [0]. You could have an instruction-following model per initial keyword. All of "Write..." might fit into a much smaller model if isolated. This stuff could be partitioned in ways that turn out to be mildly intuitive to a layman.

Retraining 7B parameters vs 175B is a big delta. The economics of this must have forced a more modular architecture at scale. Consider why ChatGPT is so cheap. Surely, they figured out a way to break down one big box into smaller ones.

I wonder if this is ASIN-recycling (where ASIN is the product id), or simply a bad indexer. For instance, is it that an ASIN in location A is reused in location B? Is it that the ASIN is recycled by the lister/Amazon to maintain positive review percent on a new product? Or is it that the column(s) used to map the international comment thread to the product are incorrectly specified?
You confirm my point - Linux fanboys don't wanna be standardized and play nice with policies and should not wonder why others don't wanna play with them. Mission accomplished. Nothing to complain about.

Assuming the start was a singularity is an interesting idea. Unlikely though. Light speed is constant in all frames of ref, even in singularities. So if a bang was accompanied with a flash then the flash must preexist at a constant speed. Which makes no sense since we are saying light came into existence along with everything else at the ‘start’. The ‘start’ must have a fundamentally different nature, where even time came into existence. You see?
Bullshit.

I'm sorry if this violates HN protocols. But this is an outright lie and needs to be treated as one.
I have a Tesla model Y. It’s definitely different to operate than any ICE car I’ve ever had. But Tesla made it kinda easy to help you transition. They sent me like five videos to watch about 25 minutes total I think. I watched them and was able to
get in it and drive it 400 miles home without issue.
Where is that 10X coming from ?
Americans drive 14,109,317,259 km per day which would be 2821 GWh vs 11616 GWh total daily consumption. Considering you are charging mostly at night I have no clue where you are getting 10X from. For the price of COVID response you could've outfitted every US household with 20K solar setup a few times over.
Ditto. At one point, car makers realized that if their cars lasted too long, they would not be able to sell more of them when most people had one. Modern cars have various unreliable and anti-maintenance features to make sure you are going to buy the next one in 10 years time. All these tracking is also a profit source since the data is sold.

I’ve found GPT 3.5 and 4 to be far better than other learning resources as well.

It just gets to the point immediately.

No chapters of books you need to read first, where there is no clear view of how it comes together or if it ever will.

No documentation to deal with, which is notorious for never solving your specific question and just requires you to conform to that developer’s attempt at being a teacher of their own concept.

No long winded youtube video or video educational course.

Just “explain this concept” and it goes out of its way to explain answers to things you didn't even ask well.
Most of the waste heat created by an ICE is dumped out the exhaust, not the radiator.
> Windows is probably the worst offender of the lot. My brand new gaming desktop is currently flagged as not supported by Windows 11

This is an unjust comparison. You can still install windows even on unsupported machines, you just have to jump through a couple of small hoops.

Apple keeps everything locked down. Even if you want it to support the old phones, you couldn't, and that should never be the case.

Will nobody support them? Possibly, but I'd rather that be up to the nobody then up to Apple who has a profit motive to ensure this remains the case.

I can't decide if this is trolling or not. I mean, it's an EV thread, so this kind of wild edge case gets repeated like it's everyone's use pattern instead of the 1 in a million case it really is.

Assuming it's true, there are damn few ICE vehicles that suit your needs either. You're looking at a full size (HD truck size) van. Chevy Express 3500 or something along those lines.

Though the few people I know that are in a remotely similar situation break it into two cars rather than try to find an 8 passenger daily driver.
> I appreciate that some trans activists can be rather aggressive online

This is the crux of the argument, and why there needs to be some "doubt" in the process. The problem isn't that there are a few aggressive activists, but that aggressive activists are leading the movement, setting the agenda.

The notion of the suffragettes not "simply asking the .. nicely to accept change" can equally said of any terrorist group willing to commit to violence etc to "yield results". I can't see how that relates to suppression of de-transition stories.

Here's the (long) story of a Tesla Model S battery repair job for $5k, far shy of a quoted $22.5k that Tesla wanted.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7Q0nNkQTCo

Here's where right to repair is exceedingly important. Obviously if it were up to Tesla, you'd only be allowed to go to them for repairs, at their full markup. But here's the secret - they have a huge markup, but no monopoly on electrical engineering. Like the video shows, 3rd party repair shops can repair these things. It's not rocket science - you're thinking of a Elon Musk's other company, SpaceX.

But $5,000, down from $22,500, is still more than "a couple hundred bucks to hundred bucks to tear the car down and expose the battery, and then identity the bad cell and pop in a new one". Now, in my haste, I wrote "cell" when I mean "module", sorry about that. The car for which I'm referring to that job is at the bottom of the segment - a first generation Nissan Leaf. They first came out in 2010 and here's a 12 year old used one for $6k (https://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/ctd/d/redondo-beach-20...). It's almost guaranteed to have at least one bad module if you're buying something that particular car (they didn't have battery cooling systems that generation) and that old (simply due to the number of charge cycles).

The procedure for finding the and replacing the bad module is documented at:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTiFEapky8s&t=24s

and

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVaCMbXKrd4&t=423s

For the module itself, you're looking at 3rd party supplier for a refurbished one. Here's one battery module for $90 on Ebay https://www.ebay.com/itm/354422211418?hash=item528535c35a:g:...

or another listing asking $250: https://www.ebay.com/itm/225422969988?hash=item347c418c84:g:...

Or via FB Marketplace for $60: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/5165480583467846/

If you take your Nissan Leaf to a shop that specializes in them, they'll likely have modules for cheap off salvaged cars, but we don't have access to those prices here. So let's say a refurbished battery module is anywhere from $60-250 and then kick $200 in labor to your cousin who's good with cars to watch those two videos and replace the bad module for you unless you're that cousin, then spend $250 on a battery module and buy yourself a nice voltmeter.

Official battery replacement jobs on a Nissan Leaf are going to run you much more (multiple thousands) but if you have a Nissan Leaf, or any electric car really, you should be aware that that's a total ripoff. Everyone knows you don't go to the dealer for repairs on an ICE unless you want to get ripped off, and the same is true for EVs.
Basically turns the department of commerce into the equivalent of the DHS, which already does the key aspects of the act, with some NEW special powers. If they think your company is a threat, they can close you down. But only foreign threats, just like the Patriot Act was sold to ya.

It will be interesting to see the new rules the commerce department puts in place to monitor and control the internet. For your safety of course.
I asked because I just got a few nfc tags to play with. They can have a uri programmed into them, so that whenever I tap them, the uri is accessed. This is often used with Apple's Shortcuts app for example. It would be neat to be able to tap something to mark the habit behavior as being done.
I want to clarify, I am not trivializing the work of category theorist. It is a field of mathematics which provides a useful framework for algebraic geometers and algebraic topologists, and has even been fruitfully applied outside of math.

A personal favorite of CT generalizing an existing idea is in knot theory the khovanov homology detects the unknot, which is an amazing feat for a knot invariant. Bar Natan covers the construction well: https://arxiv.org/abs/math/0201043

However for some reason this particular field of math is a lightning rod for quacks. I don't really know why, but that is the way things are now.
I don’t agree with the above sentiment, but Vue 3 is quite good.

It feels more “complete” to me than react in the sense that I don’t need to keep up with what’s going on with redux vs. alternatives, or what changes are in the latest version of react-router, or what’s going on with Next 13/server components, or update my webpack plugins or decide if I’m moving to vite. Long story short 95% of cases have an official solution.

Similarly, I don’t often have to look beyond the official Vue docs to fully understand how things work. React hooks are good enough but they don’t have the same approachability as Vue’s composition API.
Or the "Meta is funding the ban against Tiktok" train.

Yes, it is less efficient. However the numbers are rather small:

Most modern laptop processors, including the ones on the Framework, have a TDP of 5-45 watts. Framework chargers are rated for 60 watts.

Your response also assumes a more efficient alternative is available. I work as a professor at a community college. I fix old laptops and give them to students who have no means to afford a computer. For many, that upcycled gift has gotten them through their bachelors degree.
You can't just engineer whatever the heck you want out of an economic system, or a government, or an entire society. There are at least some fundamental laws of nature, including human nature, at play.

After a century of failed communist experiments all over the world, it's disappointing that people still believe that utopian economic systems are possible.

> ...you couldn't really rely that everyone had seen all the episodes; who can always be at home at a given date and time? People got lives to lead.

> In 1983 Babylon 5 would have been a non-starter, simply because few people would be able to watch all of it

This is an incorrect assessment of 80s US culture. TV was more central to the populace, pre-VCR than you seem to imply. The majority of people religiously watched episodes of news broadcasts, game shows, and soaps (not just daytime), or whatever favorite content they engaged in. There was an arc to most shows, albeit sometimes more pronounced than others. The reasons B5 would not have succeeded would more likely be the limitations of technology, the niche interest in scifi[1], and the uncomfortable moral ambiguity at a prominent point in the cold war.

[1] Out of this world, Small Wonder, and Alf managed 4 seasons each, Greatest American Hero 3. These were all relatively small budget shows.
Agreed. It’s been 30 years though.
> Imagine the architectural advantage of a big switch statement over models trained in different domains or initial vectors.

Given that the emergent abilities come from the large parameter count and massive amount of training data, using smaller models seems like a distinct disadvantage.
