Wonderfully put, but I take objection to saying "severly limit cars" what you are actually doing is increasing the throughput so that cars can actually get anywhere. Leaving it at status quo limits cars severly by making congestion worse.
- slow

- requires more energy to travel longer distances.

- less theft prevention features.
Was that implementation confirmed to work or was it a bug?

I saw people saying it only loads the weights necessary, but all the weights are necessary (unless the architecture is heavily modified). Does it stream or load only the currently necessary layers in a way?
That paper is awesome, thanks for posting. As well as efficiency, I'm also interested in life cycle analysis of these kind of tech if you know of any good papers.

Ask HN: How are you using Copilot/GPT for a coding assistant? Share tips/tricks
I am a bit late to the party but I just tried to use github copilot for some coding and I am struggling how to use it outside of the obvious trivial cases I am using it with.

I'd love to hear how others are using it, perhaps more deliberately or just as a nice-to-have surprise.

Any anecdotes or tips?

Thanks!
> SUVs also get exemptions for passenger and pedestrian safety standards.

Wtf? What's the rationale behind this?
> Bullshit. These e-scooter sharing services operate on cities already covered by all sorts of public transportation services, including municipal e-bike services.

Bullshit. Specially at night.

> The key difference is that municipal services address and avoid the problem of abusive occupation of public space by employing networks of pickup/dropoff spots

Bingo! Thanks for making the point for me. You want to ban e-bikes/bikes that can be left freely like e scooters can. It's not the scooters but the parking that bothers you and though you pretend to be for bikes you aren't. NIMBY and disingenuous and I'm done with pretending you're anything but.

These stations won't feature in less affluent neighbourhoods, these stations won't be as many, these stations won't be as convenient. You're screwing the usefulness because YOU don't use it.

> Bullshit. These escooter sharing services operate in cities where public transportation is highly subsidized and monthly fees are mostly symbolic, with some cities being even totally free

Bullshit generalization. Paris isn't like that. London isn't like that. Madrid isn't like that. Dublin (which has no e scooter rental but does bike rental) isn't like that.

Every thing you say exposes you further.

> Also, a cursory search for escooters shows that there are scooters in the market for 120kg/13km autonomy for less than 300€, and they can be charged by simply plugging them onto any regular electrical socket.

Which a) implies you have a place to store it (privileged NIMBY) and b) implies it covers the same need of being somewhere and renting it on the spot (such as at night after an event, where you couldn't take a scooter or bike and leave it there).

> You have zero insight or basis on reality to support any of your personal assertions. You've managed to be entirely wrong in each and any assertion you made.

I've actually supported with specifics what I said while you have been a rude disingenuous actor who uses political generalizations.

You're a great example of what I talk about. HN always pretended to be polite and encourage discourse but when someone from reality came in an exposed a narrative, morally corrupt people like you would come down with the entitled arrogance and rudeness that can only be gained of not having to face reality.
How honestly can you say that "emergent properties" are real if you haven't really seen the training data or you don't actually know how the thing works?.

It stand's to reason that the bigger the model, the more likely you'll get an answer to a question you're looking for. Even the apparently "tricky questions".

A Lesson in Teaching Physics: You Can’t Give It Away
Also, if such an area exists, and there are enough people willing to pay $100/month to congest starlink, then it probably makes sense for someone to set up a WISP, which will be able to provide a better service.

In fact, if this isn't happening at scale already, I would expect that some WISP companies will start using starlink congestion areas to figure out where they should be putting masts.
T-mobile's claim is that by 2024 their customers will get emergency satellite connectivity on their existing handsets, even cheap $200 ones. They might need to be new $200 handsets in order to get the software support, but the hardware support is supposedly there already. The specific language T-mobile uses is the "vast majority of smartphones already on T‑Mobile’s network" which sure sounds like it includes $200 phones. With the help of Starlink, T-mobile is going to put cellphone towers in space, pointed down, and your existing cellphone will be able to pick up the signal and the satellites will be sensitive enough to hear the cellphone's transmissions.

T-mobile's service will be limited to various forms of texting and possibly also Twitter, which is used by many emergency departments to broadcast information, which is slightly different than the iPhone's offering of dire emergency service coverage. Still doesn't replace AM radio use cases though.

I commented somewhere a few weeks back[0] that we should probably be making it easier for Russians who are vulnerable (those who left during the mobilisation push, are vocally critical of Putin, or who simply want to not be part of it) and want to defect. There's not a great deal we can do to make it easier on their end - presumably there are some controls on the Russian side on the way out - but if someone does make it to the UK or the EU and doesn't wish to be part of the war we should help them do so.

[0] - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35154243, was unfortunately misunderstood by one user who thought I wanted to punish Russians who remained in the country after the invasion, rather than simply extend additional help to those who had left

edit, a flagged comment raised this question "Why are you helping these people compared to the other billion around the world in far worse positions?"

If you're upset that some country is about to get special treatment because I made a comment on HN, then you needn't because what I've suggested probably won't happen. I don't think "You want to help $groupA? Why not $groupB?" is a very helpful way to look at this, and furthermore it's a little presumptuous to think that I'd exclusively want to assist one nationality but not another just because I didn't mention it. There are dozens of ways the UK, the EU or "the west" are not helping or are actively hindering other parts of the world. To expect me to address any or all of the others when I want to talk about one is ridiculous.

What do you mean by "voter presence"? And 50% of what? Of registered voters? Of people eligible to vote?

Honestly, I think you make a really good point.

The problem though, if taken to extremes would be to ban any form of car-rental (tourists are unfamiliar with the streets) and bike rental for similar reasons.

I would add though, that it's possible to gate these things and the scooter companies seem willing to do it; in the US for example I couldn't use an e-scooter because the app wouldn't accept my European driving license. (and you must have a driving license to use them in California)
I should mention that it represent 80% of 7% of people that could vote. Basically people who don't like e scooters bothered to actually get out to a voting booth (no e-voting). Most inhabitants clearly didn't care enough.

The vote wasn't very well known so only 8% of parisians voted.

In addition is was only open to the resident of Paris itself, all the people working in Paris but commuting from the suburbs couldn't vote.

Basically less than 200 000 people voted, for a city of 2 millions inhabitants and 7 millions if we include the commuters. And I'm not even talking about visitors.

Show HN: A high-level sprint calendar for checking dates at a glance
I'm the product manager for a couple of dev teams, and sometimes need to quickly check where certain future dates fall with our 3-weekly sprint cadence. Neither Outlook's calendar nor our org's internally hosted Jira instance makes this easy to determine at a glance - the latter I can't even access from my phone.

I built something so I can always have a high-level view of our sprint dates on hand when I'm in meetings - stakeholders discussing milestones, team members asking about time off, or upcoming change freeze windows. I figure it might be useful for others, and I was surprised to find this .com domain available, so I nabbed it for sharing.

You can see one of my team's sprints and releases here: https://sprintcalendar.com/3-week-sprints/start-2023-03-23/r.... This bookmarked view won't need to change as time goes on, unless of course my team decides to change or reset its cadence.

It has a few limitations, and likely wouldn't be too useful for teams whose sprints or releases are attached to calendar months instead of weeks. However my last team's "First Sunday of the month" release model was not hard to keep track of in my head.

Feedback welcome!
Github has too many open source resources for people to get up and quit. Code repositories on github are akin to google services; the logo may not be there but the foundations seep through to our existing products.
I'm totally for computer tinkering, but at the age of learning something like 'MIT Scratch' or even C/C++/Python, if they have to deal with all these problems, a lot of potential computer scientists might actually get discouraged and end up giving it all up thinking 'Computers' are very difficult.
You don't need space to have everyone's plumber visit at the same time using an 18-wheeler either. Just converting a few streets into one-way already frees up plenty of space.
People keep talking about "AI alignment" when they haven't solved the "CEO alignment" problem, or the question "alignment with what, exactly?"

> The goal of Midjourney is to bring creative power to as many people as possible.

AI is unarguably powerful, even if we're still struggling to quantify that in terms of how "intelligent" it is, to what extent it's plagiarism, or reliability, etc. The consequence of power is necessarily interacting with real-world political power structures. There is no "neutral" option; AI will empower some and disempower others, who are going to object to that. As we're seeing in this thread, if you empower or disempower one side of a political dispute (making Xi art or not), there's going to be one side that gets mad at you.

Make cultural products, get culture war.

I do wonder if this is going to be regarded as the "Thomas Midgely" era of AI, where scientists from the 2050s struggle with the legacy of widespread AI "contamination" of everything in the data record by people who didn't acknowledge downsides.

> While e-scooters are very eco-friendly

Are they, though?
You'd think so, but there's also a good chunk of copyleft code that's just "here's our source code, go figure out how to deploy lol".

You can try to fork it into something workable, but that can sometimes literally mean trying to figure out what the actual deployment process is and what weird tweaks were done to the deploying device beforehand. In addition, forking those projects is also unworkable if the original has pretty much enterprise-speed development. At best you get a fork that's years out of date where the maintainer is nitpicking every PR and is burnt out enough to not make it worthwhile to merge upstream patches. At worst, you get something like Iceweasel[0] where someone just releases patches rather than a full fork (and having done that a few times, it's a pain in the neck to maintain those patches).

FOSS isn't at all inherently community-minded; it can be and can facilitate it, but it can also be used as a way to get cheap cred from the people who are naïeve enough to believe the former is the only place it applies.

That's why OSS is not about the contents of more restrictive licences (as you say, copyleft is a good example), but about the broadest definition that applies to all of them. More specialised sub-types can have more conditions, but then we should speak about those sub-types directly.

I make this point because it causes confusion. Saying "my OSS project is being run by others for money and I get none of it" is confusing, as it uses the supertype. Using the subtype is clearer, and even self-explanatory: "my project I licenced so others can make money from it while giving me none is being run by others to make money from it and I get none".

That may be a bad situation, but at least the reasons are now clear.
There's github for decentralized era: https://radicle.xyz/
some beings there are just testing how different laws of physics (i.e. ours) work out

Or there is a practical use like energy extraction. Or they live (if that even applies) in a universe that generates what our closest concepts of are e.g. time and energy, and they have to spend them massively in simulations to survive. Or their laws of nature tend to overcommunicate (dilute) them into a single being, so they simulate everything we see for islands of “themselves” to remain distinct. They split themselves endlessly with perception because that’s the trick in their situation.

One of my nightmares is to wake up from this and realize you woken up from a mild depression into a horror of a true existence, and this isn’t even a final level. Makes sense, since if god is infinite, why shouldn’t he be infinitely suffering. Why would he (you) create all this if not to escape from null-reality.

Really, all car insurance models is propensity to claim. By definition, this will be lower for richer individuals, leading to poor social outcomes.
I would not say this is incorrect as there is no definition of `a: condition`.

As being declarative is about expectations, one translation could be:

I expect that "either both a and the condition to be true, or b true and the condition false" once the computation done.

a when: condition

b when: not condition
> Most people don't actually want to maintain a fork. They would prefer that their patches are mainlined.

But that's a downstream decision regarding efficiency in their developing process.
That's not what free software is about, there is nothing about that in its principles nor licences.

That's just Development Process and maintenance decision, offloading patch integration to upstream, which they might or not accept depending on your changes. None of that is about Free Software. You can see similar decisions/trade-offs taking place in any org with multiple software dev teams with ownership over libs etc, regardless if it is free software or not.
By the time you have finished writing the job description for this prompt engineer, you have your prompt ready.
Just be brutally honest with yourself and do the right thing, what ever that intrinsically means for you.

Even if you don't believe in god, you have an unconscious that keeps a track of these things so act in a way where you might get/deserve chance to rebuild yourself after all of it.

P.S. I've been in a similar situation (smaller level) and the way I handled myself resulted in a downward spiral for years, never truly trusting myself to fully commit to anything while also not fully giving up. Basically running around in circles, each time losing a little bit of heart/spirit.

> On Sept. 26, cryptocurrency promoter Nic Carter picked up the phrase and followed up with an image titled "climate solutions." It showed a car screeching toward a side road under a sign "eat the bugs," with "more nuclear power" being the main road.

Seems like it would be relatively easy to reverse nuclear power and bugs in the foodchain here and make all the same arguments for each side.

All these "rationalist" communities telling the average person that nuclear power is safe, "believe the science", "I'd be happy to have a nuclear plant near my home".

And the other side overeacting based on gut feelings that don't hold up to real scrutiny, and general mistrust of those in power.

Wonder what, if anything other than random chance, explains the divergence?

edit to add: ChatGPT on why both are good solutions:

> Both adopting nuclear power and adding insects to the human food chain can be effective solutions for countering climate change.

> Nuclear power is a reliable source of clean energy that does not produce greenhouse gas emissions, which makes it a viable alternative to fossil fuels. Insects, on the other hand, require significantly less water, land, and feed to produce than traditional livestock, making them a more sustainable source of protein.

> Furthermore, both options have been proven to be safe and effective when properly regulated and managed. Nuclear power has been used for decades without any major incidents, while insects have been consumed in many parts of the world for centuries.

> In conclusion, while nuclear power and insect consumption may seem like unlikely allies, they share many advantages in terms of their potential to mitigate climate change. By embracing both of these solutions, we can make significant progress towards creating a more sustainable and livable world for future generations.
