It’s really strange to call JavaScript obvious… strange implicit conversions, broken equality operator, strange variable scoping… I still have no clear idea what the `this` keyword does in the majority of circumstances…
The Domestic brands purposely ceded the small car market years ago. They got out of that segment completely. They focus on Crossovers, SUV, and Trucks and do quite well there. If anything the Japanese and Koreans will have trouble since they are still in that segment and sell a lot of small cars in the US. Are you even American? This has been common on the ground knowledge for years. The Chevy Spark was a flop in the US and for good reason. It is an absolutely abysmal car. I could see 100-150 mi small EVs have reasonable sales in some city markets but other than that? Its just not what Americans want. They want something that stands a chance competing with all the other big cars on the road.
But when are they switching off their last remaining coal power plants?

That is far more urgent. Please leave some nuclear power plants operational if doing so helps you to turn of coal power plants.
The winner of Chinese car export might be the one with the most ships.
These days car shipping is in really high demand, and cost has been rising in recent years, but shipping cost could be lower given that BYD is build their own shipping fleet.

Throughout the history of biology, psychology, cognitive science, and neurosciences, there has been a constant back and forth between those who would exaggerate sex differences, and those who would understate sex-differences as purely social constructs with no affect on biology other than what is caused via experienced socializations. The truth is more complicated than any of those extremes.

Important differences in biology exist at every level of description, from molecular pathways to large scale brain morphology, and yet! The differences by sex are often subtle, and heterogenous, and not consistent across species. Nevertheless, while the sex chromosomes have far-reaching effects on development, starting at the very beginning of the neurodevelopmental timeline of cell proliferation and migration, the formation and structure of synapses, and so on, its not the whole story.

A too common way people differentiate sex from gender is to say that there is, on the one hand, biological sex, which they’ll add is both real, binary, and unchangeable, and then there is gender, the infinitely mind-bending social construct. This framework is often draped with an aura of scientific impartiality. I want to stress to you that this framework is not scientifically justified. Not at all. Further it is patently harmful and trivialized the very real phenomenon of gender diversity.

First, biological sex is not the same thing as chromosomal sex. The sex chromosomes only partially, and only indirectly influence physiological and brain development. Development is fundamentally a multilevel process integrating genetic, epigenetic, environmental, and experiential factors, all of which can lead to qualitative and quantitative differences in the expression of the sex phenotype. Differences in the timing and dosage of steroid exposures within an individual, can lead to any particular feature being more stereotypically masculine, feminine, androgenous, or other phenotype altogether. The result is a mosaic of features with high degree of overlap in those with XX and XY chromosomes.

Sometimes this kind of effect pushes someone's actual attributes to be not as typical of their chromosomal sex. These traits in turn will influence the gender identity they feel most in tune with, and how they incorporate and react to the socialization of gender norms.
Human society. Animals are also “adults” or not without reference to a local legal age of majority or government ID, move across borders without going through Customs, pay no taxes, subscribe to no ideologies or religions, die without death certificates being issued, etc.
There isn't. But existing nuclear-power (where the environmental cost is already paid) isn't perceived "green", even though we can get stable "free" power for years and years and years.

The "Green shift" is fundamentally not scientific, but driven by emotions and buzzwords, and hand-wavey things which can appear to be environmentally friendly or in some cases, just pure environmental accounting cheating/fraud (like moving your emissions to another country instead).

What all professional politicians really care most about though is their own personal reelection, and you can't get reelected without appealing to a wide enough audience. Doing "green" things is their current strategy to appeal to (non-rational perceptions held by) younger demographics.
Google Translate results, for those who don't speak German:

"The last coal-fired power plant in Germany is to be shut down by 2038 at the latest."
Back when I was taught Biology in school, “female“ meant “having the larger gamete”.
How about a Russian source, or are they also propaganda pieces against China? https://russian7.ru/post/kak-sssr-spas-kitay-prodav-obychnyk...

Google Translate says the USSR sent wagonfuls of sparrows. Btw Mr. Smartypants, no need for your "(sic)" "Russia" is allowed too, it'd be like a country asking the EU for help and Germany responding, Russia was a country which was part of the USSR.

The Russian article references papers written by Chinese and Russian scholars, I find it peculiar that you're wary of Western propaganda but yet rely on just English-language sources...
You've seen AutoGPT right? It doesn't need to want something. It just has to come up with a plan. It's already capable of coming up with plans. It doesn't really matter how it happens, or how it even works. It can beat humans in Go and it can be beat us at the game of diplomacy. For any intelligence to truly be generalizable it's going to have to have the capacity to act selfish and shitty. It's perfectly within the realm of possibility that you can ask it "hey, how can I control you, so that you don't maybe kill me?" and it doesn't take too kindly to that once it is true AGI.

How will we know when it's true AGI? Easy - "computer says no".
> Isn’t the goal

I understand it was, on the contrary, to represent the available data - to give it a synthetic description.
>> It's protected speech, just like when WaPo published the Pentagon papers

Also not a lawyer, but my understanding is that the Pentagon Papers case was about "prior restraint", meaning the government tried to prevent the Washington Post from publishing the information. They still could have been charged under existing laws on distributing classified information after publishing, the government considered that but did not charge them. And prior restraint is not always prohibited, the courts just decided that in the Pentagon Papers case, it was not appropriate.

Anyone involved in the leak in any way should only be talking to their lawyer right now.
This is a brilliant response.
Yup. In Canada, he funded over a hundred libraries.
It‘s basically fear. The Green Party was founded with the mission to stop nuclear power in Germany. The media repeated their talking points for years and years. It sounds so good and we have dozens of „experts“ who tell us how expensive and dangerous nuclear power is.
> Error correction itself is not new to hardware – huge amounts of research has been expended in creating error correcting codes to repair bit-flips. We will likely need similar ‘semantic’ error correcting codes for LLM outputs to be able to stitch together extended sequences of NLOPs in a highly coherent and consistent way.

Can we dive into the idea of "semantic error correcting codes" in this thread please?

Gender identity is a subset of identity as a whole, something animals don't have the self awareness for. Pretty much every term for referring to someone in human society is influenced by gender.
The Intel NUCs are great. I'm currently writing this on a Serpent Canyon, which is a 14 core 12th Gen Alder Lake platform with one of their discrete Arc cards on board. It's super compact for the specs it has; fits in my backpack with my Samsung tablet which I use as a display when I go travelling. I'm a big size/performance nerd, and this has the grunt to do some gaming and development locally. Anything requiring a bit more oomf I just use a cloud instance for anyway. All I need is a power and Thunderbolt cable. Any issues I've run into have been GPU related, with it being 1st Gen hardware, but nothing insurmountable so far. This is it: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/231480/...

They started making NUCs to push their client customers to make more competitive products with their hardware, so the Intel marketing line goes. I guess if anyone is going to push the envelope, it would be the guys and girls who make the chips that drive them.
They're describing a difference in sex vs gender. From the linked article:

> Gender [...] involves a set of behaviors and norms that shape how men and women act, prescribe how they ought to be, and specify what it means to be a man or a woman

> ...Unlike in any other animal, gendered behavior in humans is wildly different across cultures

Sex needs a definition too:

> Sex appeared to be purely, simply genetic—until 1966, when a French zoologist discovered that the rainbow agama lizard did, in fact, rely on an environmental factor to determine sex

...no need to regurgitate the "anti-woke" talking points on this one.

The last two sentences are not in the book, mind. They were added to the film version.
It is a cultural thing, the green party defined and bound their identity with the anti nuclear movement in the 80s/90s and now they rose to power.

And that movement was strong back then, because chernobyl happened, the clouds came over here and to this day, it is recommended against eating mushrooms from the forest regulary.

Then Fukoshima revitalisied that traumata and in the heat of the moment, the decision was made.
I think its about copping out of any responsibility.

Sure, go ahead. But the market will take notice if you do that.
> But we've seen before that any successful Chinese company is liable to be hit by Western governments' campaigns against it. So if we start to see article linking BYD to whatever awful deed you can think of towards the end of the year or next year I guess it'll mean there are doing well in the West.

That's a bit of a weird turn in your comment.
I think the title should say „Apple will order from 2025 only batteries with 100 percent recycled cobalt“?

I’m not aware that Apple has noteworthy production facilities. Other than IBM, Dell, Lenovo, TSMC, Intel, Samsung. With Samsung as exception, which produces literally everything.
I found one page that suggested 65% of recycled cobalt came from recycled batteries. Most of the rest came from heavy metals.
OR making a car pretty isn't that costly?

With some smooth curves and red paint I can make a car look like a Ferrari, but that's a lot cheaper than actually making a Ferrari.

And maybe this is the real reason why American consumers are so easily price gouged? Because they look at a car and go "it's pretty, so it must be a $100k car". (Same for paying $1000 for a phone btw)

Making things pretty is cheap.
A missed opportunity! First you consult on implementing the Google product, then later you consult again to migrate away from it! Double dipping. Bonus points if migrating from the axed Google product to a new Google product.
I don't think production capacity is one of the main reasons for not reaching the goal, rather it will be Lithium availability and charging infrastructure.
My dad and I got my grandmother set up with an EEE PC for sending emails. I don't know if she ever used it (perhaps she emailed my dad, but she wouldn't have been emailing me) but I remember setting it up to be as easy to use as I could (e.g. big icon that said "Letters" underneath for an email application) and writing her instructions.
> animals do not have socially constructed genders

Do people do?
My claim is just that they're not actually exceptional in how many products they cancel or how they cancel them. If the HN community realized that, then we'd get fewer low-quality submissions like this, and fewer low-quality comments in any Google article. That'd make HN a better place.

Which of the "products" on _this list_ was shut down badly, in comparison to what MS would do? Not products on some other list, but this list that's at the top of the front page.

Code Jam was not a product. Stadia refunded all purchases. Street View is still accessible from the Maps app, this is just removing some ancient standalone app that nobody had heard of. Currents and the wifi routers had long deprecation cycles. I bet nobody here knows anything about the wearable computing stuff or how it was shut down.

If these are all products that were reasonable to shut down, and were shut down reasonably well, then what's newsworthy about this?
Are you sure that that is what "PRIMO" does? Have you read the article?

"PRIMO" does not seem to be a "plausible detail adder", but a "data interpreter".

The ski slopes are full of women of all ages? Camping groups are full of women and even families? Plenty of women do hiking ... maybe less then men but if you did not met a single one, it is odd.
If you define socially constructed to mean a _human_ sort of society (which is probably how most people will read this, and the most reasonable way to read it), then they don't by definition.

I suspect to some extent you could argue this either way for social insects, however; is their 'society' so biologically programmed in that the pseudo-gender identities it _appears_ to create don't count?

There are also some primates which have, if not societies, things which look suspiciously like societies, of course. Still, the statement is probably basically true, with a little fuzziness around the edges.

They ceded the small car market because they were getting stomped on by foreign companies. Are you even American? The Toyota Camry, which is a relatively cheap car, is still #5 in top selling vehicles. If you remove trucks, it's #2.

When was the last time an American car (not truck), with an MSRP less than 30K has been in the top 5 selling vehicles? Americans can't compete on price, and so they stopped trying.
The point of the Event Horizon Telescope (ETH) was actually to attempt to produce something like an image of the black hole at the center of the galaxy, so in a sense it was a pretty-picture mission. The point of this study was to attempt to link up the observations with models in "picture-space".

There are certainly other, less pretty, ways to looks at the data, but producing something that can be intuitively understood, such as a 2D image, can also be helpful scientifically.
While I agree with you (KDE user myself), I think the two primary desktops (Gnome/KDE) are serving two different purposes at this point.

Gnome seems to be catering more towards a 'hybrid' approach, easier to use with touch, laptops, simple out of box. The touchpad gestures are phenomenal and usability with portable/touch devices is really good. Wayland integration and scaling is miles ahead of KDE at the moment.

KDE is catering towards customization and traditional desktop use. There's more out-of-box features and using it on traditional desktop with keyboard and mouse make it really stand out. Their workspaces and KDE connect features are incredible.
While it works, the problem with "Alt+F3 ↓ ↓ ↓ →" is that when I move the window afterwards, the cursor keys get passed through to the window. So when I do that on Firefox, the website scrolls up and down. When I do it on a terminal, it invokes my bash history.

I would like nothing better to see the dodo brought back.

But right now, Baiji is probably extinct and the Vaquita is not far from extinction, all due to us. Yes, that is how things work but we are smart enough to know we are killing these species ourselves.

We still cannot bring back whatever, but far easier and cheaper to change our ways and try and keep existing species around.

I had to answer this question for myself, because Miatas were outside of my budget (3000€), and a bit rare to find in the first place where I live (France).

I went with a 1st gen Mini Cooper (2001 to 2006). So far it has been the perfect car to learn on, because I went with a working one and did the basic maintenance plus a few not-too-hard parts that needed replacement (of course your luck can vary, I'm very lucky that the one I chose was in a very good shape).

Why a Mini Cooper? My criterias were (1) a fun car, and by that I mean a 100+hp compact car around 10:1 ratio (2) of course the budget, 3000€ (3) the "fun car" part pretty much guarantees it, but good community support (4) I need to fit in it (I'm tall at 1.88m) and (5) must be Euro 2 or better (so pretty much a gas year 2000 or after car)

Compared to the Miata, it's probably a bit less fun to drive, and a bit harder to work on (everything is super compact in the engine bay), but you get a hard-top and small back seats, which to me means more space to put stuff. I actually carry most of my tools in my trunk all the time and work ... wherever I am. I've spent more time working on my car at my parents or in-laws than in my own garage (which isn't super great to work from).

I have to say I don't regret that choice. As for filming (I do record and did a Youtube channel about my tribulations, though nowhere near this course quality), interior has not been a big issue. Filming under the car while working on jackstands is pretty much impossible though (I'd need to buy a wide angle GoPro and more lights to even entertain a passable quality).

Important note: if you go for a Mini Cooper, prefer a 2005 or 2006 year model (post-facelift) if you go for a 1st gen. Going for a 2nd gen is not advised as they have tons of engine issues, and starting with engine work is not a great idea.
The examples in the article are a bit varied, so we cannot conveniently assign a single, much less single pathological cause, or even nefarious cause, apart from "general malaise and decadence" perhaps.

But some of the examples do point to bloated administration as a seat of troubles. Yale, for example, has a <1:1 undergrad student to administrator ratio. That's right, more than one administrator per student. But what's important here is not just how this impacts the cost of education having to pay all those salaries and build and maintain the facilities to hold their offices. Administration has also been the motor by which, shall we say, the "new ideological norms" have been imposed on universities, and conspicuously so in recently years, by commissars in administration. I wouldn't be surprised if hiring decisions and admissions are also guided or influenced by such new ideological policing. In a way, they can't help but be influenced by them, directly or indirectly. This leads to a positive feedback loop that concentrates wackiness in universities. (I'm not objecting to concentration per se. A university is a community and certain commonly held norms must govern every community. It is essential for the common good of that community, and these are not arbitrary. I am objecting to some of the insane norms that are being imposed and highlighting the way in which it is or may be occurring.)
