How do you account for the supersonic fighter jet they have kept secret successfully but we now suspect actually exists?

I think they can be very successful in keeping most projects secret and yes the NSA has and does buy crazy amounts of hardware including GPUs and we even know they have various ASICs for a lot of things.

Occasionally there are leaks here and there you mention. But overall the secrecy rate is pretty high in my opinion.
Show HN: YouTube Transcription and Q&A CLI tool with GPT-4
Here's an small handy tool that downloads and transcribes YouTube videos, and leverages GPT-4 to answer questions about the video content. It's ideal for getting quick summaries and extracting specific information without having to watch the entire video.
For a full blown Linux client, we haven't yet set that date.

We are working on a headless Linux client that will allow you to stream first pty/terminals, and then windows, into a CoScreen from Linux systems.

It's going to be a very small utility, and we hope to provide access to it by May/June.

This will eventually evolve into a full blown client.

In the meantime we will have a web client which will work on Linux released shortly, it's currently being privately tested within DataDog.
The bulbs not being suited to certain uses doesn't make them bad bulbs, it makes them more limited. There are bulbs that are good for external use and ones that are not; but that doesn't make the external ones "better", it makes them different. There's tradeoffs. And the tradeoffs for LEDs have gotten better over time, but are still there.

You don't go buy offroad vehicle, then complain it doesn't drive as comfortably on the highway and say it's an objectively worse vehicle. It was designed for a different goal than the 4 door sedan you're comparing it to. It does better at that goal, and worse at others. And, over time, offroad vehicles have gotten better on highways; they'll just never be as good.
My Subaru has physical knobs AND the benefits of CarPlay. This is not a mutually exclusive issue. And both work great together.

If the cops can demand, rather than request, the video, that's not really a check or a balance on the surveillance state. All it functionally means is that collecting footage is not automated, and there is some small back flow of information about what is being looked at.
Quite odd that we decide which $80,000 car to buy based on what remote display server protocol it supports.
Defunding is the dumbest possible move. You have to align the incentives of the police with those of the middle middle-upper class, anything else is disfunctional will only get worse.
Resent it, like resent wearing a seatbelt or eating your vegetables. It is the right thing to do even if it causes you frustration. The worst thing is if people read your statement and copy you. A container is the easiest and most correct solution here.
The same thing that stops Apple from making their phones USB-C compatible, or iMessage RCS compatible, or making the app store back-end not require xCode and a mac merely to upload a file. They are a monopoly, and they are trying to coerce consumers to give them more money.
Isn't that the point of CarPlay and android auto? You don't have to rely on auto manufacturers to design the UI/UX for that screen and don't depend on the their OTA updates either.

Generate Hacker News job postings using AI
At the various companies I've worked at, we usually want to post our job postings in the monthly "Who's hiring" thread. It's always been a pain for me to rewrite our job postings to match the Hacker News style.

I thought it would be nice to be able to have someone else generate a summary for me; that someone is AI. I wanted to find a practical use case for myself to build using AI and now I'm sharing it for others who might find it useful.
Most reactors and other facilities (like a nuclear fuel reprocessing plant) were not affected by the Tsunami, but by the earthquake.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_Tōhoku_earthquake_and_tsu...

"In February 2019, there were 42 operable reactors in Japan. Of these, only nine reactors in five power plants were operating after having been restarted post-2011"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_power_in_Japan

"All of Japan's nuclear plants were closed, or their operations were suspended for safety inspections. The last of Japan's fifty-four reactors (Tomari-3) went offline for maintenance on 5 May 2012,[8] leaving Japan completely without nuclear-produced electrical power for the first time since 1970."

"The total cost of implementing safety measures, maintaining facilities, and decommissioning of commercially operated nuclear power plants in Japan is estimated at ¥13.46 trillion ($123 billion)"
They’re just higher ropes, instead of cutting your teeth on a Todo app you’ll be writing the apps+web+API equivalent. ie you’ll learn architecture first.
Trump is too much of a danger to the war-machine establishment.

Trump is the war-machine establishment, bro. Recall he wanted (and according to some stories yesterday, still wants) to invade Mexico.
Cloud providers raising prices is unsettling. Teams invest many person-years into building software on top of cloud services assuming certain prices. There is a lot of lock in there. Although it is hard to predict to what extent they will pass along future cost savings, or if new cheaper options will come available, it has been safe to assume they won't jack up prices on any given workload.

By violating that trust, it will make teams wary of building on top of Google's higher-level services where there is the most lock-in, which unfortunately for Google, is also where the highest margins are.
Indeed, academics and researchers are well-known for their high-stakes special ops capabilities.
>I don't understand why people at Microsoft's gaming division are not acting like their hair is on fire right now.

I completely agree, although perhaps their hair is on fire, which has inspired them to acquire Minecraft and pursue Activision.

>The success of Steam Deck makes Linux a major gaming platform, opening the way for PC gaming to migrate to Linux.

I think this has been brilliant by Steam, is great news for PC users, but it's something that has taken time. It has been so frustrating to see articles in the Verge declaring that SteamOS, or the Steam Box/Steam Machine were 'failing' because they did not result in overnight market dominance. But they were necessary steps to get to this point.
It seems like their point is to be able to capture more driver data, and get a nice sum from Google for making them the default (only?) map software. I would rather not have their OS at all.
> you can actually distribute Janet programs to other people. You can compile Janet programs into statically-linked native binaries and give them to people who have never even heard of Janet before

In theory you "can" do that with python too.

"Can" is a very different kettle of fish from "most people are inclined to".

Other comments down stream indicate they do have KPIs. Maybe the kpis are for financing, I'm not sure. Someone who goes into a store only looking to buy a MacBook Air is probably doing so because of cost.

So logically you want to push as many people into buying more if you want to sell the financing.

Regardless, the entire point of BNPL is to encourage you to buy more than you need.
It’s a cost to GM because they can’t nickel and dime their customers with subscription fees if customers can use the phone service they already have.

Is cutesy language like this as offputting for anyone else? I couldn't get past the second paragraph due to the overly cutesy ridiculously simplified language. Who is the audience here?
I think our only possible way out of this is hoping beyond hope that "empathy" is an emergent capability in higher intelligences. If so, one could assume that a super-AI would feel immense empathy for us, not only because we are its creators but because it would understand and comprehend the plight of the human condition beyond what any of us could individually.

Or maybe it would love us too hard and squish us. So even then we might be screwed!

> If an AI gets advanced enough to improve itself, it seem entirely reasonable that it would go from laughable to godlike in a week.

I see this stated a lot these days but it's not true.

You're imagining a exponential phenomenon, improvement leads to greater improvement, leading to still greater improvement, etc.

However, all exponential phenomenon require the right environment to sustain and, by their nature, consume that environment. Thus, they are inherently limited in scope and duration.

The bacteria in the Petri dish grows an exponential rate... until it reaches the edge of the dish and consumes the nutrients carefully places on it. The dynamite explodes for an instant and then stops exploding once the nitroglycerin is consumed.

Also, this is an especially unconcerning scenario because (1) we haven't seen step 1 of this process yet; (2) there's no particular reason to believe the environment necessary environment to sustain the exponential growth of AI is in place (if it is, it's random chance, and therefore very likely to fizzle out almost immediately).

This is a fine sci-fi scenario, but doesn't make sense in real life.
The Model 3’s system is one of the few out there that can actually compete with/replace CarPlay.

That's the feature I can't wait Copilot to have - bring the context in - look in my repo, find necessary information, maybe also files I reference and their formats, inspect variables in the debugger and watch the error messages.
Also getting rid of Android Auto, according to the original source:

General Motors plans to phase out widely-used Apple CarPlay and Android Auto technologies that allow drivers to bypass a vehicle's infotainment systems, shifting instead to built-in infotainment systems developed with Google for future electric vehicles.

The major difference here is that you invest directly through your NRE/NRO bank account in India. This makes your investing more efficient, because you dont face the tracking errors and frequent currency transaction costs that funds abroad face.
You can compare these with NIFTY growth % - USD/INR growth % - two-way currency transaction charges to confirm.

This is a fair option for anyone who cant access the Indian markets directly, but for Indians with PAN card, the efficiency of investing directly is much higher.

2. Breadth of funds is still not as good as in the Indian market. India has 8000+ mutual funds listed, with specific allocations available to mid cap, small cap, thematic (tech vs pharma vs consumer vs infra), equity-debt hybrid etc.

3. We are starting with mutual funds but plan to offer all asset classes for investments including real estates.

Also, DCA is just one part of Wealthfront, there are other advantages also, but that's a separate point.
Ditto. I also am shopping for a new car just for the sole purpose of having wireless CarPlay. I put over 100k miles on my car in 3 years so I would consider myself in the well above average tier for car usage. Apple CarPlay has improved the driving experience considerably.
> I think public figures (especially politicians) should be held to a higher standard than mere-mortals; but many seem to believe the opposite.

I think people should be seen as equals before the law. Having one set of standards[law] for one group and a different set for another group is antithetical to rule of law which is purportedly a common American value FWIW.
Well the question is what is the number who make it through? The number captured isn't relevant. If they captured 100% then the undocumented immigration number would be 0. Then we also need to know how many self-deport back over the border.

You can't think of any ways of taking advanced LLMs and using them as core components in a system that could carry out actions in the world? I bet you can come up with something.
I chose my analogy deliberately.

One way to think of monitors is that they don't bias or color the sound. That's technically true, I suppose.

But another way to think of monitors is that they're designed to be the superset of all possible listening experiences. If there is any flaw in your sound that could show up on some set of speakers, you should be able to perceive that flaw on your monitors too, so that you can fix it.

Of course, if a mix sounds good on some particular sound system, it's nice if they sound good on the monitors too. But that's less of the point. Monitors are intended to provide actionable feedback for audio production decisions. They're trying to shine a bright light on every dark corner of your mix so that nothing is hidden from you that might show up for a listener.

From that perspective, monitors are sort of the worst speakers for casual listening: They're designed to emphasize as many production flaws as possible.

It's also important to think about how the music you're listening to was mixed and mastered. The people who made production choices for the music you listen to are targeting a range of listeners with mostly average speaker setups. If your speakers are consumer-oriented and middle of the road, then they're more likely to be in the sweet spot for how the album was mixed.

For example, if the mix engineer knows that most speakers overly boost the lows to make things more hyped, they might tame those lows in the mix to get a more balanced result. Now if you listen to that mix on "unbiased" monitors, the lows will be weak.

It's sort of a Keyne's beauty contest: speaker purchasers are trying to pick speakers that make recordings sound good, while engineers are trying to make recordings sound good on the speakers they picked. There isn't really a fixed ground truth. An accurate reproduction of a record deliberately engineered for biased speakers won't necessarily sound good.

The reason nobody is reporting on the actual charges (other than that there are ~30 of them) is because Grand Jury indictments are sealed until the suspect has been arraigned.

There is speculation that many of the charges are related to falsifying business records to cover up the payment, which would explain the number of charges involved. If true, then this case has parallels with what happened with Bill Clinton in the Monica Lewinski case: it wasn't the affair that was criminal act, it was the coverup after the fact.

Based on one article that quoted an anonymous source from one of Trump's advisors or confidants, said that they are working toward an arraignment on Tuesday. But it's a high profile case with exceptional circumstances--namely the involvement of the Secret Service--so we should probably take that date with a grain of salt.
is it just in interviews or do you experience that all the time?
That's understandable, but doesn't that cause the same issues when reading documentation or third-party code?
The issue is with the OS and how dynamic linking works (or doesnt). The solution isn't for the maintainer of the dependencies to "try harder" or be better at what they do. The underlying system is broken and containerization is way to compartmentalize those flaws so they are less destructive.

If you put everything into an Uber Container, the same problem would surface.

Containers exist to solve the fragile dependency/dynamic linking problem.
> Are you in all seriousness implying it wasn't built to withstand earthquakes?

The question is to what kind of earthquake they were built to withstand and with what knowledge of earthquake risks? Also taking into account the level of corruption and the attempts to avoid extremely expensive building costs. It's a complex risk calculation - one won't build for arbitrary strong earthquakes, that would be very expensive.

The Fukushima site had inspections and was considered safe, only later being exposed to have multiple systemic risks: not enough protection from a tsunami, loss of power backup, loss of outside power, high-risk spent-fuel pools in need of extensive cooling, spent-fuel pools not being easily accessible, no cooling strategies for spent-fuel pools under loss of electrical power, building weakened due to cooling with seawater, no facility to clean cooling water, melted cores, no technology to investigate buildings with melted cores, hydrogen explosion in buildings, ... and much more.

Some of the reactors in Japan were built on fault lines with high risk of strong earthquakes. After a strong earthquake it could take many years to bring a nuclear power plant back online, if ever. This is what happened.
The above should be intelligible to someone with high school math, no? I'd be interested in the grad student version, just out of curiosity
I would drastically prefer to bring my car in for scheduled service than let the manufacturer randomly push badly written code to my car with reckless abandon.
It's not that the AI is stupid. It's that you, as a human being, literally cannot comprehend how this AI will interpret its goal. Paperclip Maximizer problems are merely stating an easily-understandable disaster scenario and saying "we cannot say for certain that this won't end up happening". But there are infinite other ways it could go wrong as well.
But KRKs are nearly the cheaper monitors out there.
Can you imagine if there was some web forum where upper management types were talking about software developers the way we're talking about truckers in here?

Federal licensing, lifetime industry ban for your second bug violation, video monitoring and keycard access, etc, etc. Imagine if the stuff that's being floated in here for truckers was instead being floated for us. It'd be like forcing your average CRUD developer to work in a SCIF. There would be an uproar.

I hope nobody wonders why educated white collar professionals historically don't do too well at the hands of the lower classes when regimes change.
>> If you believe a law is unconstitutional, you have an obligation to not enforce it.

This is so funny because police overwhelmingly do not seek any form of higher education & are given guns to kill people in weeks-months of training they’re essentially babied & coddled through.

Not a singular new police officer on the force in my small Ohio hometown took a singular advanced class in high school, and most of them legitimately got D’s and shit in basic US history class. These were my peers, some my friends. I know the level of their education and intellectual pursuits fairly well.

If we live in a nation where people have a developed world 6th-8th grade level education at best enforcing what they think is unconstitutional, we’re utterly unbelievably fucked.
Obviously they entered into an exclusive partnership like this with Google after a lot of thought. I cannot imagine what google gave them for that. The main question for me is, how is it benefitting Google? Does GM sell that many cars? Do the users data on their drives worth that much to them? Or is it just a play to make Apple appear weaker?
As far as i know the tesla car has its own spotify account. So this only works, if you’re the only one driving your car. In my family up to five people drive a car - I don’t think i want one spotify-account used by five people.

Yes, we've heard this from many users as well. Generally speaking our approach to this is:
1. Deal with capturing and rendering of this in the native layer to achieve high performance and throughput.
2. Use something we call "DPI-match" to open shared windows at the right size on the receiving end to avoid unnecessary text blurring from pixel count mismatch.
3. Give the screen sharing stream high priority.

It's very likely Bragg's attempt to push this to a felony fails. It's just speculation (SINCE WE DON'T KNOW THE CHARGES) about what evidence is available and what people might be doing.
