No one ends up using “every-3-hours” routes in day-to-day life. Every 3 hours can work for the tourist who doesn’t want to rent a car, but people with jobs won’t accept that if they miss the bus, the next one is in 3 hours. These routes effectively become useless and contribute to the narrative that public transit isn’t practical.

I'd guess it has to do with crumple zones and safety.
The point is that NT is portable, and once Merced hit the market in 2001 5+ years overdue and not delivering on any of its performance promises, the only question was "What architecture will succeed x86, because we can cross IA64 off the list." In the same way that when the 432 showed up years late and 5-10x slower than a contemporary Motorola 68000 or 286, the 432 was dead in the water and all the early 80s workstations were built with 68ks and the PC market went with 286s.

I don't know if the absence of AMD64 in 2003 would have made an opening for SPARC or PowerPC or ARM or something else entirely, or maybe the "Let's slap an expansion on the 8080 again, just like the 386 bailed use out after the 432 debacle" scenario was inevitable, but NONE of the compiler-scheduled-parallel architectures panned out in the market, so someone else was going to win.

Nobody is enthusiastic for war. But since Russia has failed in their winter offensive and is experiencing unsustainable losses, it would be shortsighted to force Ukraine to negotiate for peace unless it involves a complete withdrawal of Russian troops to pre-2014 borders.

The technology's hype precedes it whenever you try to engage with it. On the surface, it looks a lot like the bitcoin hype, and if you remember IBM Watson you might get the idea that nothing much will come of it. So for me, I will keep using it, but I have nothing but disdain for the people worrying about AI overtaking the world, claiming this will revolutionise everything/etc.. Especially since this technology is almost good enough to tempt lay people to believe the statistically related words to your query would mean anything. In fact, iirc this has already happened and e.g. caused a suicide.
I have a USB device that needs a Windows computer to run the software to pull data off of it.

I've always kept an old Thinkpad around for it, first it had XP, then I upgraded and had Windows 7...my latest laptop has Windows 11 on it.

I had to agree to Windows terms of service, refuse OneDrive and Office365 trial, tracking, windows experience, plus the Microsoft account...such an annoyance when I just want to install some software and use the damn machine like I used to.

> The artists don't need to exhibit any of these dramatic subversive attitudes

True, but if we take She-Hulk as an example, all the other stuff in the movie imply they do. In other words, they didn't simply shoehorn in booty-shaking, but rather included it in a political context.

If you disagree these layers exist, please, engage with the discussion and reason why - but simply gaslighting the poster, and implying they have a "hateful attitude" is itself a political play.
The reasoning would be, as civilization advances, things become more complex, to the point of us not even understanding the complexity. Same arguments applied to AI for example. With greater complexity, the potential for harm increases. As an historic example, can be seen with technology used in wars, that caused increased devastation to the point of a mutual destruction scenario.

Think less about the preservation of AM and more about the preservation of amateur radio in vehicles. The same EMI effects also make it difficult to operate HF in an electric vehicle. “So what? I’m not a ham and don’t care to be.” Well, consider that it’s the largest allocation of spectrum available for public use—the rest is commercial, government, and public safety. It’s an invisible National Park (international, really) that corporate entities either don’t care about or want to use for their own purposes.
I'm originally from the US, I understand how things work there well enough... but anyway after re-reading your original post I think we probably generally agree more than we disagree. Having lived in both continents I take issue with the idea that delivering goods via freight has anything to do with the density and walkability of cities. Tomatoes get shipped from Southern Spain to remote villages in Sweden just like they get shipped from Florida to North Dakota. There are many other factors to blame for how car centric the US is, and you point out several in your other posts.
That's also a trainable skill, learning how to learn new concepts quickly. Here is where many people report LLMs like ChatGPT are a huge time-saving boost.

This might also be an either-or situation - i.e. some people specialize in the ability to quickly grasp a wide variety of knowledge at a relatively shallow level, others specialize in in-depth knowledge of a particular subject, and it's impossible to be really good at both.
Outsourcing to a team of cheap offshore developers has immense coordination costs for whoever is doing the outsourcing: communication, clarification verification, etc. Outsourcing to an AI has virtually none: feedback is instant, you can check understanding easily, you can specify exactly what you want to get back. And the costs are dramatically lower than even the cheapest of outsourcers. Whoever can orchestrate the activity of an AI will capture nearly all of the value.

Comparison:

If you care about range and you think they both look cool, Ioniq 6 can really beat Model 3 on price:

Tesla Model 3 AWD Dual-Motor Long Range: $57,990, 353 mile (568 km) range
Hyundai Ioniq 6 RWD Single-Motor Long Range: $40,000, 340 mile (547 km) range

$/range ratios:

Model 3: $57,990 / 568 km = 102
Ioniq 6: $40,000 / 547 km = 73

I still prefer Tesla's interior design.

And I didn't think Ioniq 5 looked sporty enough.

But Ioniq 6 is definitely not a bad choice.

It's the first EV cheaper than a Tesla I'd consider instead of a Tesla.
> Most of us are self-aware that I'm not that important to be specifically targeted.

Of course, not in the sense that the FBI, Wagner Group, or the boogy man are going after you today (but you never know what the future holds) - however data brokers and large companies have a financial incentive right now to know as much about everyone as possible and the information they collect is increasingly being used to decide your insurance rates, give you employment, etc.

>People who live a privileged life and have nothing else important going on in their life choose this hill to die on.

I mostly agree, however privacy issues impact the less privileged more, for example women seeking abortions in unfriendly states, teenagers learning about queer issues in a toxic community/family, people fleeing abusive relationships (the effort some stalkers do is truly insanity), minority groups (e.g. undocumented immigrants). Sure these groups can't dedicate lots of mental energy to privacy but plug and play browsers like this one make it easier and even if you are highly privileged protecting your privacy makes it more acceptable for others to do so too.

It's a difference of degree.

I still check the output of the spell checker. I still check the output of the search engine.

The problem with these "AI" tools is that they are magnitudes more likely to encourage you to not check the output because checking the output takes orders of magnitude longer than it does to check the output of a spell checker or search engine.

Do people refer to spell checkers as AI? No, so I don't include that. But I also don't use spell checkers, actually, including on my blog. [1]

And realize that as workers become more productive, wages will not increase. More wealth will be created per unit of time, but that wealth will likely not be realized by the average worker.
I guess folks have different definitions of the words?

To me, a "spank" is usually a mild to moderate slap on the rear, a part of the body particularly well cushioned that can handle it just fine without physical trauma, not to mention psychological trauma.

When I think of a child who has been "beaten", I imagine repeated bludgeoning across the body, often with a tool, and usually with visible bruising and possible laceration and bleeding.

If you've ever been a parent, regardless of whether you think spanking is OK, you know that there is a huge difference between these two activities. I personally avoid physical discipline myself, but I can understand a parent who decides to give their kid a spank on the rump after the child did something where they didn't understand how seriously negative the implications were.

For example, if 5 year old runs out into traffic on a busy road and you pull them back, which form of discipline is more likely to negatively incentivize the impulse to dash into the street to get a penny? I can see why someone would think that the short – but sharp – pain of a quick spank is more effective at protecting the child's short and long term health.

I’m a software engineer with over a decade of experience across a variety of domains and technologies. I can design and implement nearly every aspect of modern software systems, including web, mobile, and sdk clients, cloud-native and distributed systems, CI/CD orchestrators, big data processing pipelines, public and private APIs, automated testing suites, and developer tools.

But you don’t really care about that, I imagine. You want to run a more efficient business– to uncover new opportunities, and to leverage your unique competitive advantages. That’s where I specialize, software as a means to an end. I work closely with stakeholders to deeply understand your business and identify areas where technology can provide powerful tools for efficiency and growth.

Oh, and then I can build (or help your team build) those tools for you.

Great hardware for any OS sounds good in theory but not gonna happen in practice. When 10 hardware providers are supplying hardware for an OS, the hardware becomes a commodity, and the focus tends to go to cheapest for a given spec. You can see the same phenomenon in Windows and android hardware. If you supply a premium hardware for a premium price in a commodity market, you will just not have any market share.

People buy apple hardware for the integrated experience. e.g. I am not gonna buy a Dell running macOS or a Mac running Windows11.
I, for one, am not arguing that AI won't ever reach human-like reasoning.

I just don't think this is it, although I freely admit that I'm amazing at the technology.

As it stands, Chat-GPT is probably better at giving the appearance of reasoning that some percentage of humans. That reflects poorly on those humans, but I've certainly known people in my life who seemed like they rarely knew the end of a sentence when they began speaking.

However, the focus of LLMs on text-prediction is not a path that leads toward human-like reasoning, just the appearance thereof. If and when we have AIs that actually do reasoning, it will be some other branch of AI, possibly also incorporating an LLM for communication, but not based solely on LLMs.

> What do you need from a browser that Safari doesn't support?

For me: a download for Linux or Windows so I can test with the browser. A macOS VM, like Microsoft used to provide for IE development, would also be acceptable.

All my personal projects and even professional projects haven't supported Safari for this very reason.
TBH, I'm more concerned about their imperfect control. At least if some group of executives has perfect control, then it's possible for someone to force them to turn it off. As with Satya having his team "fix" an issue in 24 hours, though, there's a dog-balancing-plates phenomenon with the current state of development.
Everyone that knows what they are talking about have already been saying this. This is what the narrative actually is. Not AI replacing humans.
I understand that writing a substantive comment can be a lot of work, but how can we be arguing about https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35351862? It was obviously unsubstantive and provocative, and would even probably land as a personal attack. It was even a case of the "vapid and cliché" that you're wanting to counteract.

Downvoting a bad comment is fine. Not posting is fine. If you want to neutrally let someone know that their comment isn't substantive enough for a good HN post, that's ok as long as you're careful how you do it. Dropping an insult on them is never helpful.
> Anyone who tells you that these models are "just glorified text generators" is flat out wrong and hasn't bothered to do their homework

What homework.. if i may ask a dumb question?

My very limited understanding was such that this is a glorified text generator - however, it seems what is possible with text generation is allowing unexpected levels of competence and utility. To be clear, i agree with you that it's functionality is impressive and deep. However i had figured one area of research is in the very premise of "How good can LLMs without intelligence be?".

Is that wrong in your view?

(again, i'm not making a statement. I know next to nothing in this space. I just try to reach a layman's understanding on this subject and i use GPT4 daily)
For me, the alternative is no tests at all.
Clearly they were making them horrible on purpose. Intel had a long streak of really bad products that somehow got even worse when put in Macs. They took away features an replaced them with crap. Then, magically, all the good stuff returned for the M1 launch. It's a mistery!
No doubt :P But understandably doesn’t have a huge absolute impact on overall European metrics.
FYI, to get a bootable Windows USB key, you don't need any special tools or DD. Fresh format it with NTFS, and simply copy the contents of ISO onto it. Somehow it works pretty reliably.
Even if what your narrative claim holds true across the board (which I doubt), it represents a net loss to companies of how much? A few tickets every week? Also, the wfh trend is new and workflows are still being perfected of course; there is room for improvement.

What about the huge gains for both employees and companies?

For companies: much lower real estate costs, happier employees, access to workers across a larger geographic area, possibly lower wages paid, happier families of employees now that mom, dad, boyfriend, friend, wife, or husband aren’t commuting 5-10 hours per week

For employees: a better office and equipment in many cases and thereby more focus on work in many cases, access to live in a larger geographic region, no commutes, more stability since no move required when changing jobs, stronger communities now that people can stay in one place longer, happier families now that mom, dad, boyfriend, friend, wife, or husband aren’t commuting 5-10 hours per week

When I was commisioning El Camino Hospital in Mtn View, CA - we had a bunch of digital art that we paid ~$1,000,000 for for the campus... but the digital signage solution was still behind in delivery...

So I went an bout a bunch of mac minis with remote desktop and just looped the digital signage videos via VLC.

I had to do this in some of the salesforce offices I built - like 50 Fremont, Chicago, NYC...

Mac minis were great for the 'bandaid' -- but even then were over priced and a pain to manage...

But I personally do not think Ill be buying another mac object due to appl fking me when my machine was under recall for catching fire, and my machine..... caught fire....

And appl held the machine for two month while 'investigating' and refused to honor the recall because it took them two months to find a moisture sensor that had been set off at some point.

The machine caught fire in my bed while I was watching netflix.

Appls solution was "well you can buy a new machine to replace it at full price" (this was LITERALLY what they said to me in the Union Sq, SF flagship store.
it is not that clear cut. neither hungarians nor the czechs are very eager to support ukraine. same as eastern germans

All these wars were before NATO existed.

Ukraine’s defense is a formidable army which has stopped the advance of what most experts thought was the second most powerful army in the world, and the fact that Ukraine is supplied weapons, training and ammunition from NATO countries doesn’t change that. It only adds to the point that NATO itself recognizes that Ukraine belongs in the alliance.

If Ukraine loses the war it will cease to be a buffer and become part of Russia.

My anecdote is the complete opposite experience. I bought a new 2012 MBA in June and the hard drive started failing on me in August of 2013. It was just out of the warranty so Apple did me a "favour" and let me buy a 3-year Apple care so the repair would be free. They made the Apple care start on the day I bought the MBA back in June, which was something that I got screwed on later on.

Then they recalled the 2012 MBAs because of failing SSDs in October 2013 and refused to refund my Apple care because they did me a "favour" and I got a good "deal" with getting Apple care because I shouldn't have been able to buy it post-warranty. It didn't matter that they recalled the SSD literally 2 months later free of charge, they wouldn't let me get rid of the Apple care and have it refunded.

In April 2016 the battery died on me and it was out of Apple care warranty because the Apple care was June 2012 - June 2015 instead of the August 2013 I purchased it on and being valid until August 2016. So that cost me another $250 to replace. Another repair I had to pay for that should have been free.

Finally in 2019 I updated to Catalina and it hosed the entire laptop which was working flawlessly before the update. It started randomly beach balling after about an hour of use and would stutter every couple of minutes until it eventually would lock up and turn off completely. Then it would randomly show the flashing question mark when booting up and it stopped working completely. The laptop couldn't even factory restore itself or stay on long enough to be restored over the internet. I brought it to Apple a few times, they didn't detect anything wrong with the laptop, and I eventually gave up on it. I still have no clue what that update did to kill my entire laptop but I was done putting money into it at that point.
