This reminds me of something I read some time back. It was about hypervelocity stars, stars with escape velocity. These are stars that are moving fast enough to escape the gravitational pull of their galaxy. If they are escaping their galaxy and moving away from the galactic center, they may also be beyond the pull of any retraction. This, in turn, would mean the subsequent post-retraction Big Bang contains less matter than the prior one. Over an infinity of time and thus an infinity of these cycles, there would eventually be too little matter to go bang at all.

So, after that happens, we're back to the originating questions. From where did sufficient matter originate to go bang? And, how did that bang not violate the laws of motion?

To throw a match on this pile: To me, this seems to be science asserting the existence of God. ;)
I've been trying to find a solution to this exact problem. I use Notion as my PKMS and I've been struggling to find an integration to make flashcards with my content in Notion. Going to try out your system - thanks for sharing!

As an aside, Notion would completely disrupt the flashcard app space (Quizlet, etc) if it had a feature to create flashcards from a Notion database with spaced repetition. I really don't think it would be that difficult for them to implement that feature. Hopefully they will soon.

Yeah I'm glad I managed to just barely dodge the bad keyboard era of Macs.

I generally use an external keyboard anyway (just Apple's Magic Keyboard) but for the times I do move away from my desk it's nice to type on a keyboard where you can actually feel the travel unlike those god forsaken butterfly switches.

Can you clarify on this and give some kind of citation or security audit of opt-out testing? Which third parties were these? Working with Tesla or auditing as a separate entity?

The biggest part of my question and what holds me up the most, if the entity was able to verify the metadata from a certain application/process on Infotainment - what if the manufacturer enforces the opt out at the server level? What if it's a server that Tesla doesn't own and belongs to a company are selling their data to? I could go on and on with these questions. The truth is that nothing should satisfy you if you simply opt out from a button on the Infotainment system.

My last position involved creating and enforcing security specs at one of the biggest auto manufacturers on what was then fairly cutting edge Infotainment systems. I also did MITM stuff to verify encryption of third party applications from suppliers. This was something I did on the side, not instructed, as protecting customer data was very important to me. One of my least favorite pastimes was arguing with managers over customer data and opt out/opt in. You may or may not be surprised about the rhetoric of the auto manufacturers - they don't look at it as the customer's data. It's their data and you are a product they can keep making money from, long after you bought the car. I lost these battles, and was one of the bigger reasons I left the company.

The only solution is to remove the Infotainment system from the car totally. Removing the antenna won't work on it's own. They have auto connecting WiFi's, bluetooth, etc.
Why are CPAP machines still so expensive. I saw a teardown of one, it was not that special. Just lots of foam.. (that needs to stay in place haha).

I suppose they disassemble large racks of batteries, to remove the strong structural metal which us hard to shred, and maybe copper wires that are expensive. But not farther.

Individual cells are shredded, the cover metal is removed by magnets, anything soluble is removed by water or other solvents, whatever remains possibly may be further processed, or can go safely to a landfill.
The people you were with probably were unused to outsiders and insecure how to deal with your "alien" (to them) views.

They should have behaved welcoming and inclusive. But as we all know, there's a lot between "should" and "is" in this world...

Because there are atheists, agnostics, Christians, Muslims and those of other religions, we need to find a way to be nice to each other, and perhaps a smallest common denominator of moral values (a sort of "moral POSIX standard").

Your three options are interesting. There was a linguistic study among Algerian immigrants to France, provided in Arabic and in French (same questions), so study the influence of language/culture on the answers. The same people were asked about love, for example, and as you would expect those answering in French would "channel" (to use your word) idioms and responses associated with love in a French context (language of love, Paris as the city of love, romantic love etc.). In contrast, responses in Arabic channeled concepts of moral chastity. Need to find that study (I believe it was a chapter in a book).
Just look up any history of the luddites. There are plenty of resources online. I don’t see why I should have to cite sources when I’m pointing out something utterly uncontroversial for anyone knowledgeable on the subject.

Many of them were weaving workshop owners who lost their livelihood to automated factories. The transition to automation in the early 19th century was painful. That doesn’t mean I support what they did or think automation was wrong. In the grand scheme of things it was a necessary transition. That doesn’t mean nobody was hurt by it though.

EDIT I’m not being pedantic. I just made a statement that was factually correct that I’m surprised I have to defend. You seem to be inferring a whole lot of baggage that just wasn’t there.

BTW for context like the articles author I see LLMs as just being another productivity tool. They will become part of our work flows and will have effects similar to those of other productivity tools.

If so, then the answer is "largely no".
Couldn’t you say the same thing about cars? You can’t just manufacture a car that gets 200k mpg. So we discovered a car that can get 30mpg. Which we don’t say.

Understanding and Mitigating the Long-Term Risks of AI Operationalization [pdf]
Something happens

> This is one of the myriad reasons why I have a strong preference for Linux.
State-of-the-art artificial intelligence (AI) systems are almost certain to transform how the IC executes its mission, but the risks that accompany the use of such powerful tools are not well understood. Before any AI system is deployed, the IC should focus on understanding AI decisionmaking processes to ensure that they are explainable, align with human ethical standards, and are controllable. As AI systems become more capable and ubiquitous both at home and abroad, the Intelligence Community must fully understand their decision spaces to guarantee that unintended and potentially catastrophic outcomes can be anticipated and interdicted before AI system deployment.
>My street has lights, drains, everything but sidewalks...

Then it's defective.

>No, not it is not. Not anywhere I have ever lived. They are "easements" that are privately owned, and have to maintained by the home owner, at the home owners expense, and you will be fined if they are not maintained, shoveled, etc.

>Yes?... Or hire a contractor to replace them if they are disrepair.. Often times it is HOA that is responsible as well which comes out of the HOA dues you would pay. Rarely is it the city in area of single family home neighborhoods.

>Now in Peoria, IL they do cover upto 80% of the bill but the owner still has to find, contract, and schedule the contractor, and the city can reject any bill they soley claim is "excessive" in costs and only reimburse what they fill is not excessive, Some / Many cities do not offer any reimbursement at all or offer a lower rate...

>In either case it is still property that is owned by the home owner, the public has the right of access via an easement. Liability in those states and cities is on the homeowner.

That's insane. Stark raving mad. Completely, utterly barmy.

Such a byzantine, litigious system would deter one from wanting a sidewalk next to one's house. It is obviously broken. It should be reformed so that people's incentives are not aligned against basic standards of civilization, by taking sidewalks into proper public ownership (not this "easement" frippery) and allowing for coordination and economies of scale in their maintenance. Imagine if roads worked this way! A patchwork of (ir)responsibility, individualism pursued to a farcical extreme.

>Most people in my city already do... I am the norm.

How do people go places and get things done if they can't drive? Like being under 18, or elderly, or poor, or with vision disabilities, or mentally retarded, or their spouse needed the car for something else, or being drunk at that particular moment, or the car is in for repairs, or they had their license suspended, or any number of other reasons? It would seem one is utterly dependent on an expensive machine, a prisoner in your own home without it, having to pay an enormous ante just for basic participation in society.

>Sure that is what Parks, Camping, Trails, etc are for. Not sidewalks on my street

Those things I listed aren't special treats that you save for a holiday. They're supposed to be a normal everyday part of human existence. Your body needs a baseline level of exertion to maintain cardiovascular health. What you're describing isn't normal at all.

Diagnose - sure, but screening - I'd argue about that.

Withings device mentioned in the article costs around 170$ and probably could be shared beyond few times use. Is it that expensive?

ADHD is very visible in certain cases (and still not diagnosed) and probably could be screened on class level with normalized questionnaires. Hand results over to parents and let them decide if they want to pursue diagnosis or not.
It’s humbling to be in the presence of such greatness.
The definition of “open source” is universally agreed upon to have the OSI-defined meaning, except for some people:

1. Intelligence community people, who have long understood the term “open source” to mean a source of intelligence which is not itself secret.

2. People who, without having ever looked it up, assume it means that the source code is available for reading. These people are simply ignorant, and should be using the term “source available” instead, since it means exactly that.

3. People who want to be able to use the “open source” term for their software to gain goodwill, but don’t want to actually give all of the freedoms it should guarantee. These people are dishonest shills who try to confuse the debate in order to get away with fraudulent labeling.

I'm sure ham-fisted top-down mandates will have zero unintended consequences. Especially since we can't even generate enough base load power now, let alone manage the resources needed to make batteries and motors at scale. Yippie!

Thank you! I hadn't heard the term before and made a guess as to what it meant. I guessed wrong.
The "new .NET" (which used to be called .NET Core not long ago — the whole versioning scheme is a total fiasco on their part) is relatively cross-platform, but is not fully compatible with the old one (which is only available on Windows and hasn't been updated for many years). Your colleagues probably ported an old .NET project to Mono to move it off Windows. The usual thing these days is to port old projects to the "new .NET" instead, but it isn't always possible (because full compatibility between the two was a non-goal from the start).

Anyways, as dvzk has mentioned, Mono is a completely separate project and is not a replacement for current dotnet. Last time I checked, an experimental FreeBSD port was available, but MS doesn't seem to care very much about any of the BSDs.
> you can supercharge accuracy to basically 100% for up to 13 digit addition and >90% after.

Is the ~13 digit limitation due to the model itself (how/how well it was trained) or simply the use of double precision in the model weights (which maxes out around 15 digits of precision).
How do you even challenge a theocracy, whose adherents believe they're right and can deploy any amount of violence or legal loopholes?

Nobody can fix "impaired thinking" of a person who firmly believes they're in the right, no matter the logic errors or negative consequences you bring.
Self-righteousness is much worse than faulty thinking.

Unfortunately for everyone involved morality is easily absolved, abdicated and deferred to authority, which requires no moral reasoning nor logic. Religions tend to enforce such authoritarian approach - be it a holy text, guru, ruler/head or even social convention. Questions are ultimately forbidden, branded as sin or heresy if they pass some arbitrary boundary.
Odd to me, I have always been the "fun parent" the kids wants to play with constantly. My wife probably feels like he does, but she basks in it because it's finally time for her to be alone and recharge.
Thanks, this is more what I was looking for. Far too often, the story of "successful entrepreneur" is "had rich parents, received large inheritance." Typing his name into Google isn't going to answer the question if he's the real deal or not.
We've absorbed a lot of workers into lengthier education and various jobs programs (the MIC and the military itself; in the US, the horribly-inefficient healthcare sector) at enormous cost, following suspiciously well with the timeline of eliminating many of those other jobs. Would the US have seen such a great postwar boom if we'd disarmed again, or would unemployment have shot back up? What if we'd not had the GI bill to stick a bunch of 22-year-old ex-GIs in college for a while, keeping them out of the workforce? If a four-year degree hadn't become the new high school diploma, and wasteful healthcare spending not expanded and funded tens of thousands of jobs that aren't a net-benefit to society, right around the time computers began automating away a lot of jobs? I wonder.

IMO we're paying through the nose to keep all this automation from being a disaster, we're just doing it in ways that aren't as obvious as an outright, robust welfare program.

Your friend’s fuel issue seems a lot like the intermittent no-start, low fuel pressure issue I have been debugging (3-series) for over a year now.

I also think he's talking about tools where inferior means build quality vs. performance. You can go buy a bunch of cheap wrenches from Harbor Freight and they'll be just fine compared to Snap-On.

I mean, sure, I could also just turn off my computer. Presumably people use Firefox for a reason, and making that a option use less energy is pure upside, and it's very interesting to see how big of an upside it might be.
It is a useless endeavor since Safari on Mac, iPad and iPhone all have different feature flags set and their own quirks related to how they are tied into system libraries on each platform.

2006 NC owner here with a reasonably new battery. I keep it parked in an attached garage, so no extreme cold or heat. Mine will always start after leaving it for 1 month. I probably left it for 2 months at some point in the last two years, and it started, but that feels like pushing it.

The next time a mechanic tells you cars can't sit for a few days without a battery drain problem, ask how people who park at the airport get home after a two-week trip.

When I've plugged power into the left side, it has similar overheating behavior, but the right side seems to have no problems. See if using the ports on the right side of the device solves the issue.
Remembering Data Compression Pioneer Jacob Ziv
Great essay.

I wish there were more people genuinely motivated by searching for the truth (as opposed to just trying to be right). Probing our own views (being self-critical) and those from our own group (peer review) is indeed more important than going after "soft targets" outside, such as astrology.
it does, but one of the recurring themes on HN is that most employees at a startup would've done better financially by getting a job at a BigCo (not even necessarily a fang) so it's also disingeneous to claim that _they're_ working for equity: they could've gotten much safer equity grants by joining an established company instead of yours.

IMO one of the challenges I've never personally seen solved well is how to truly share the fruits of success with all the people who were necessary for it to happen. In this example it's of course not clear how much of a team there is, but I'm sure any non-founder employees are also working below market and would love for their wages to increase as revenue grows and the product matures.
That's because it's trained on the relations of words to each other and not on string manipulation. This is not its purpose. It may be capable of it to some degree but that seems like more of a luck of the draw kind of thing than something we should expect it to be good at.
Unfortunately I have family members that are dependent on my salary and benefits.

It is the difference between what I want to do, and what I have to do.

I guess the main rub is 99% of everything I have designed, built, patented, launched, tested and busted my butt for, is no longer in existence. But, on the other hand, the things I have done has gotten us to a point in technology where we are today; both good and bad.
> Also people that didn't need to upgrade their machines upgraded anyway cause the M1 jump was so significant.

People keep perpetuating this myth, but the only significant jump in performance from x86 was with the Air. With all other models, it was always as Apple does with new models, and what we should have come to expect (yet we always expect more for some reason and there is always disappointment at the performance increases of new models), which is incremental performance improvements. What was amazing about M1 was that Apple switched platforms without missing a step. In general, the first M1 models where only incrementally more performant than the immediately previous x86 models they replaced, just like the M2 models are only an incremental improvement over the M1 models they replaced, and just like every new hardware release from Apple... a fractional step forward and never giant leaps and bounds. After all, that's probably impossible, as Apple's new hardware is always cutting edge at release (except for the 1999/2000 G4 tower fiasco when the processor speed actually went down for one release).
