I hope you understand how your comment can easily interpreted like fossil fuel advocacy. Trying to split hair over coal vs natural gas is just a distraction when the issue should be to ban fossil fuels. As a EU ban it would cover both Poland and Germany, and a bunch of other countries that current depend heavily on fossil fuel and who have very few alternatives for periods of high demand and low supply. It would be costly in the short run and require a lot of investment, but every new construction of a fossil fuel plant goes directly against the goal of zero emissions and is a plain failure to reach the global climate crisis.

There is also a huge loss of public trust when green party politicians are advocating to keep subsidizing fossil fuel plants. If environmentalist want to keep oil and natural gas plants, then how will the public be convinced of climate change? The strategy need to be clear and fossil fuel free, and if that solution is wind, solar and storage then that plan need to be up front and part of the budget discussions. It should not be the argument from environmentalists that we should be using natural gas because it happen to be cheaper that nuclear.
It certainly stretches the bounds of reason for me that you could put a person in an isolation chamber with a powerful computer with no network connection, and after they type a few words into it, if the output of the computer has certain qualities, they are now a felon and the output is illegal to possess.

But this seems like the world the “AI-regulators” seem to want.
Of course. That's why the onus of proving that GTP-* is something more than a Chinese Room is on it's creators. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence and all that. The problem is that to do that, human would require a new test, and to construct a test for consciousness requires us to understand how it works. Turing test is not enough as we see now.
In this context, 20 times the damage is effectively 20 times 0. The real damage to roads comes from the big trucks like Garbage trucks and 18 wheelers.
I think schizophrenia could be prevented… most people manifest psychosis in teenage or young adult years. There is at least a good decade before it develops where something could be done, maybe. Just worth thinking about, at least.
Similarly, why don't we pay more to drive a vehicle that is more dangerous to both pedestrians and other drivers.
probably similar to a dually heavy duty truck. the sources of the sound is the enormous tires hitting the pavement with that much weight behind it

> An attorney for Agrawal, Gadde, and Segal provided Twitter an invoice for legal expenses "which reasonably evidence that Plaintiffs have incurred Expenses in excess of $1 million, all of which is required to be advanced to Plaintiffs," the lawsuit filed today said.

The bylaws impose way way more requirements to getting paid than Ars is letting on. The expense has to be "reasonably incurred" (not just reasonable evidence that it was incurred), the plaintiffs need to have "acted in good faith", "be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation", and had "no reasonable cause to believe such person's conduct was unlawful" and payment "may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the corporation deems appropriate".
The law of diminishing marginal utility for example can be logically proven using this method. Alas, knowing it won't make you rich, the world is not that simple.
Excellent observation. What your parent is describing is basically cognitive psychology, a healthy science making plenty of new observations, conceiving new models which predict behavior better and better, models that are than used in other fields, or inspire new science (particularly in neuropsychology).

Cognitive psychologists don’t use IQ (nor intelligence for that matter) in their models. Psychologists that do use IQ are doing so in scientific isolation (which is a red flag) and are stuck with the same models that were created in the 1970s, a sign of a dying field.
Nashes work declined greatly with the full onset of the sickness and never fully recovered.
I think this is an amazing idea! I am struggling with a similar situation now.

Anything that will allow to semi-automate this, and get a periodic report that compares this to where the Single Point of Truth for the account list would be amazing.
But look at how investment in weed, which was once considered "drugs == bad", flourished after legalization, with ETFs and such. Lots of sex work, including porn, is legal afaik. However banks and other civilian gate holders (Apple AppStore, etc) keep stifling investment in it.
The judicial system should, ideally, serve this function since both arguments for and against compulsory care can be represented and a judgement can be made.

The problem is that it is so costly financially and temporally that we can manage one judgement in years for a case rather than the greater re-evaluation frequency that is probably required for mental health.
Some HN users in "Tell HN: HP printers force you into agreement" (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33936862) suggested to avoid any HP printers where the serial number ends in 'e'. "Dont get a HP+ printer. HP printers come in two fashions. A plain version and a HP+ one."

Wait, why aren't they just using an FPGA to offload processing? How does a 100G programmable NIC with direct DMA not give them the performance they need?
It's wild how locally variable the sea level surface is. I worked on a study that incorporated local sea levels into a bath-tub style sea level rise model that that also incorporated storm surge using ADCIRC modeling, and we tried to account for local land subsidence and uplift rates... anyways.

If you look at the "NOAA Tides and Currents" data, and go to Maryland, and click two points across the Chesapeake bay from each other. Go to More Data > Datum, you can see just across a 20 mile stretch of bay, Bishops Head MD MHHW (Mean Higher High Water, when there are two daily high tides, this is the elevation of the higher of the two) is 2.06 Feet over the vertical datum, while 20 miles away at Solomons Island MD it's a half foot lower, 1.48 Ft.

So that's a truck EV... that has a Hemi V8 in it? I can see why you'd expect one to be loud.

(Jokes aside, most ICE trucks are not loud on the highway, unlike this one with a modified exhaust being demonstrated with wide open throttle.)

Arlington, Mass.[1] has 46k people in 5.5 square miles, population density of 9.1k people per square mile, 9.1k taxpayers paying for a square mile of services.

Lafayette, Louisiana[2] (the city from the video I linked) has 121k people in an area of 56 square miles for a density of 2.1k people per square mile, but a metro area population of 478k people over a metro area of 3,400 square miles with a density of 140 people per square mile of services.

Arlington has a median family income of $131k, Lafayette has a median family income of $54k (both from the same Wikipedia pages). Just the urban parts - roads covering 5.5 square miles in Arlington vs 56 square miles in Lafayette, but they've got a quarter of the population density who are less than half as wealthy paying taxes to maintain them. I don't know how it's funded for roads in the 3,400 square miles of suburban area.

Watertown has 35k people in 4 square miles, Lincoln has 7k people over 15 square miles with a median family income of $202,704 - these hardly seem to fit "sprawling car dependent suburbia"? I haven't looked very hard because internet argument, but I'd be surprised if the 7k people in Lincoln have their own dedicated fire service, hospital, ambulances, sewage works, dump, salt gritters, dual carriageway highways for moving cities worth of vehicles, and so on public services that a big city with 20x the population would need, which Lincoln likely shares with other places or just doesn't have.

I don’t know about Hummers in particular, but most modern trucks are very quiet at highway speeds, at least with highway tires. My RAM 1500 is quieter inside on the highway than my BMW 3 series or my Ford Escape or any Tesla I’ve driven. The V8 engine is also quieter at idle and at highway speeds than either of those aforementioned cars. My very topical truck handles pretty decently too (for its size at least).
> If the proposed law is enforced as currently written, the authors of open-source components might bear legal and financial responsibility for the way their components are applied in someone else’s commercial product.

Oh shit, this is huge. I wonder if it applies retroactively for code in the wild, as an open source contributor you can't recollect you code back.
I have it (CLion I mean), but didn't get it to run in WSL2. VSCode debugging is better but editor can get wonky.

Yes, the issues are completely orthogonal to the effective operation of an open source software foundation.

Hi everyone, contributor to Livebook and Nx here.

When we started the Numerical Elixir effort, we were excited about
the possibilities of mixing projects like Google XLA's (from Tensorflow)
and LibTorch (from PyTorch) with the Erlang VM abilities to run concurrent,
distributed, and fault-tolerant software.

I am very glad we are at a point where those ideas are coming to life
and I explore part of it in the video. My favorite bit: making the tensor
serving implementation cluster distributed took only 400 LOC
(including docs and tests!): https://github.com/elixir-nx/nx/pull/1090

I'll be glad to answer questions about Nx or anything from Livebook's launch week!
I interpreted “spillover hype” as meaning “more investors coming in in future rounds” (ie pyramid scheme), but it’s possible that’s not what the commenter intended.

But if early investors only profit due to late investors pouring money in, that’s by definition a pyramid scheme.
The open source community in general needs to pay more attention to this space – not just the python ecosystem. More maintainers need to know that well intentioned people are proposing policies that would in some instances make them financially and legally liable for the code they write.
Indeed, saw a lift in London last week that had a capacity of 13 people, but a maximum weight of 800kg. That's 61.5kg/person, or 135 lbs. Not sure that's realistic in any group of adults in the western world.
Various places have been doing exactly this for decades and while I'm sure there are plenty of complaints, it's not exactly something you hear about on FOX news.

For example:
https://ezbuy.chicityclerk.com/faq-vehicle-sticker

Motorbike $50.52
Vehicle with curb weight of 4,500 lbs or less with a payload capacity of 2,499 lbs or less. $95.42
Vehicle with curb weight of 4,501 lbs or more with a payload capacity of 2,499 lbs or less. $151.55
Vehicle, Truck, pickup truck with ... a gross weight of 16,000 lbs or less or with a payload capacity of 2,500 lbs or more. $224.51
Truck or vehicle with a gross weight of 16,001 lbs or more with a payload capacity of 2,500 lbs or more. $505.16

Interestingly, minivans are most commonly the thing that surprise people. The lower trim levels usually qualify for the $95 annual sticker but the upper trim levels just barely cross the threshold and must pay the $151 annual sticker.

There are other factors, too. I remember reading about sea level change as a result of Greenland's ice melting. The sea level around Greenland is actually predicted to go down. One reason is that the ice is pushing the land down, and that effect will reverse as the ice melts. The other surprising reason is that the ice is massive enough to have a noticeable gravitational effect on the surrounding water.

I had a wonderful time at community college! (It helps that my community college had an amazing service department).

Even for people who don't finish a degree, it's still a great place to get exposure or make connections. And it's much cheaper to find out college isn't for you at community college.

Transfer programs though are a mess. The culprit are the 4-year universities - who actually punish you for not coming directly from high school. Your application is deprioritized, the requirements are much more stringent, and no one is there to help you.
My dad and his siblings are very smart (graduate degrees, doctors, all of them). However, the way my dad tells it, my uncle was exceptionally smart growing up, and I wonder if it was due to pre-schizophrenia traits (or pre-diagnosis... who knows).

Despite being asian, my dad was always 'afraid' of smart children. In his mind, schizophrenia was caused by lack of rest and relaxation. He always encouraged my brother and I to relax, and not work too hard. Apparently, it is now known that schizophrenia is correlated with sleep disorders as well.

I guess we are lucky in that my uncle has never been able to do anything wrong. He did attempt murder I suppose (in paranoid delusion), but luckily his brothers stopped him. I suppose it helps living near family and having a lot of siblings. Nowadays he's mostly limited (due to old age) to gathering apostles on the internet for his new religions. Probably the best outcome you can hope for.

I believe the biggest lesson from this article though, is that it is dangerous when we legislate based on hope. The 1950s and 60s saw the beginnings of the desire to eliminate asylums due to civil rights concerns. The 'solution' was a technology that at the time didn't exist, but which they hoped would exist after the law was passed. It is dangerous to create law while ignoring current reality, and depending on hope.

The tools aren't as relevant as the intent. Engineers are intentional. They understand the gotchas, nuances, subtleties, etc. and proactively generate outputs to match.

If nothing else engineering is mitigating balloon grabs. Programmers? Developers? They're far more reactive and without intent far more likely to do balloon grabs.

It doesn't have to. But the vector search can point it to the URL / document database where it can get step-by-step instructions of that process, perhaps already condensed/compressed by another LLM, and perhaps daisy-chained[0] to work around context limits.

[0] - I don't know the right terminology, but I imagine most complex processes can still be split into a sequence of sub-processes, where each sub-process consists of necessary steps, steps to confirm success, and a reference to the next sub-process to load if the current one succeeds. The bot could then keep only one sub-process in their working memory at a time, assuming previous ones succeeded.
> Pointless churn annoys users.

Sure, excessive rate of change is bad. Even if it's all validated and well-proven.

> If your P threshold isn't low enough then you can get stuck in an endless treadmill of making changes

To measure P, I have to make the change.

There's plenty of situations where accumulating enough data to meet a p<0.05 threshold would take months. If my prior is that it's a reasonably good change and has a decent chance to be helpful, and then I take a measurement that makes that roughly 5x more likely... it's OK to push the button. There are many decisions in business that have to be made with much less information or statistical proof than this.

When's the last time you saw a base model F150? Almost all F150s either have crew or extended cab, a bigger engine, bling, etc. And the OP asked about RAM, which is ~1000 pounds heavier, mostly due to its steel frame rather than the aluminum bodied F150.
It really puts into perspective how much of a meme economy we live in. I just read an article that says global lithium will be worth 15bn a year in 2030 when we're at peak battery demand. This company is planning to spend 1bn just this year in order to run some numbers through someone else's algorithm. People have given them 1bn in cash for that.

Clearly it's all bullshit. There's no way they need that much and somebody will be siphoning it all off.
Yup, and this:

>>"Over two months after Plaintiffs' initial written demand, the Company offered only a cursory acknowledgment of receipt, but still refused to acknowledge its obligations and to remit payment of any invoices."

I've gone from seriously respecting Musk to the extent of posting multiple defenses of him on HN, to now seeing that he consistently promotes authoritarianism, screws employees, and is a professional deadbeat.

Getting one of his cars was something that I just expected to do soon-ish (once I needed one and they fixed the quality and service issues). Now? No way I'd even consider it.

I've seen the same trend on HN. It used to be near-universal praise for his works before a good measure of skepticism crept in. Now, he's almost universally reviled. This is the exact opposite of the trend he needs, as Guy Kawasaki lead Apple marketing - get the experts, leaders, power users on your side, and they'll influence everyone else. Musk is now doing the opposite.

Even Paul Graham is now trolling Musk (and we cn watch it go right over Musk's head in this hilarious exchange [0].

What? Umm..
TBH a 10,000 lb Hummer is probably worse for the environment than some luxury cars. The upfront carbon cost for manufacturing the thing will be enormous because its so big.

Maybe its better than an F-250...

Only if the model stays the same? As they’re constantly being tuned this is almost never true.
I saw a base model f150 today.
I find your argument persuasive, companies should spend extra for the significant productivity gain. But then again from experience most companies don’t give you the best tools the market hast to offer..
"and you might not qualify for any of it (CHIP is for children, isn't it?)."

Which is why I said depending on the circumstances.

"They can be almost impossible if you don't,"

The example give was glaucoma, so I was speaking to that. If one has mental issues, they could use an advocate (friend, family, or charity). If their impairment is too severe for that, they could have a guardian created by the court (still room for abuse here, but less so than acting without the extra step of a court).

"and it isn't like someone is going to walk you through it."

There are charities that do this very thing.

Much of my knowledge also comes from personal experiences.

The real point of discussion on this topic is somewhat hidden. The question is at what point should someone be considered a ward of the state - where they no longer have the capacity to decide things for themselves, and what restrictions the state should place on them (institutionalization, vs outpatient treatment, etc).
They can. There's presumably some value in things like digitally signing odometer entries, titles marked as salvage, etc, from dealerships to discourage meddling. It's an area where corruption/fraud has been around a long time.

Edit: Note that I never pitched a blockchain. I mentioned digitally signed entries in a regular ledger would work.

And I'm not saying signing is a panacea. Just adds some accountability that either the key owner made the entry, or lost control of their key. So it shores up historical holes like bribing an underpaid DMV employee to doctor your title.

Absolutely 100% will complicate things.
The euphemisms are full of examples like that. Not only can they confuse you in the way you meant, you can just plain miss them. Just yesterday I learned that "watery knees", when used in the context of being very afraid, doesn't necessarily refer to what I thought it referred to, which was just shakey knees that were as stable as water. It refers to pissing oneself, hence, literally, "water" (itself a common historical euphemism for piss) actually on the knees, as well as everywhere else. I don't know how many times I've seen that without putting that together.

(Pardon the bluntness, but explaining one euphemism with another seems rather pointless.)
Not allowing sex apps on AppStores and banks and credit cards refusing to process sex-related transactions seems pretty anti-sex to me.

Also getting all bent out of shape at a the image of a nipple, breast or pubic hair while not batting an eye at a person dying in evening TV movies seem a bit unbalanced.
gddccontrol has been around for ages on Linux and it's not exclusive to a single desktop environment (and I'm sure there's a plethora of alternatives, but that's just the one I use).

What Faculty Think About Free Expression and Academic Freedom on Campus
You should probably reread git’s documentation if you think git push -f rewrites any commits. It doesn’t. It makes new commits and re-assigns the named branch to track the new commits you just pushed. It rewrites branch names, not commits.

It is impossible (without finding a SHA collision) to rewrite a commit in git.

And before you say “yeah but how do you know which SHA sums are the right one if you don’t trust branch names”, please reread the final paragraph of the post you replied to.
Seems we are missing "Land level rise" and "Land level fall". Those will be more patchy and local than sea level.

In a similar vein, I’m confused by the messaging: “SSO is expensive” problem, the “access user data” problem, “centrally manage permissions” problem, and “automatic account provisioning/deprovisioning” problem.

The marketing seems to jumble those 4 problems into 1 problem when (at least to me) they’re 4 very distinct problems to solve.

That leaves me wondering which of those problems are you truly solving? All 4 or just a subset?
On the contrary, there is a there there, it just takes a tremendous effort and coordination to get to a point where it's actually useful.
