Sure. But the conversation here is about biofuel. Leet's say I want to fly to London because I'm sick of the gorgeous weather in California. In order for aviation to exist, we need energy storage substantially denser than what batteries can currently provide. Our options are A) Biofuel, which captured CO2 in its development, or B) Fossil Fuels, which did not.

A) is objectively the superior option, because buying said biofuel puts an economic incentive on the guy making the biofuel to keep capturing more CO2 to make more biofuel, resulting in ~about carbon neutrality. B) releases a bunch of CO2 that has been sequestered since long before you or I ever existed.

If you want to pay purely to sequester carbon, go for it, buddy. Nobody's stopping you from going to your local tree farm, buying a tree, and burying it. That's your perogative. But your buried tree doesn't get me to my Jack the Ripper street tour or whatever.
> Why should it matter that China and the U.S. have incompatible political values? And what does that even mean?

Because people have moral values they care a lot about, and those are frequently reflected in their political systems. I don't know so much about China in that regard, but in the West those moral values certainly tend to be conceived in universalist terms.

> It's not like the two systems need to interface in ways where that matters. If you're trying to negotiate a treaty it doesn't really matter how the other country's delegation got their jobs.

Your kind of conceiving of the "interface" as some abstract thing up in the clouds. Sure, it probably doesn't really matter so much "how the other country's delegation got their jobs," but it certainly does matter what policies their government implements or positions its pursuing. In the case of the US and China, those definitely conflict in irreconcilable ways (e.g. over the status of Taiwan, civil liberties, etc.).
A private company just launched the largest rocket ever built. It was a test. Tests fail, but failed tests aren't failures, theyre learning opportunities.

SpaceX had several of these types of failures when testing and iterating on falcon 9. It now sends people to the ISS.

There is a PR battle going on with this, there always have been but in particular, Elon is associated very publicly with this company and he's no longer a darling due to the Twitter fiasco. SpaceX has to remind people quite strongly that these are tests, failure is a part of the process, and there will be a big push by his enemies to make this out to be some catastrophic failure because some people want to make him look bad.

Its a failure, but it's a testing failure, so its a success. If the entire thing had exploded on the pad I'd agree with you, but it didn't, it made it through several of it's test objectives and was well worth it for the data alone.
Sure, but not commonly supported in the OOBE of the average browser.
Agreed. I'm seeing multiple other comments here suggesting DeepMind was somehow a waste when they have done a lot of very impressive research. "Solving" protein folding. Retrieval transformers. Novel solutions to math problems using ML? What about beating fucking Lee Sedol in go? No? None of that matters? C'mon.
It is good at that and you can only paste so much data into the UI, so usually go this route for complex one liners.

I recall a story someone told (can't remember if it was a co-worker or a comment on this site) about someone in an office who stood up from their desk at 4:00 on a Friday, said, "I guess I'll take one for the team," and walked out the door. Sounds a bit like that.

They have been selling FWD cars for years with equal length shafts. It helps, but does not solve the problem. The newer, fancy suspension setups like the Civic Type R (mentioned in reply to you) get rid of most of the torque steer, but it's still there. If anything, all the extra bottom end torque from an electric motor is going to cause worse torque steer. The problem will not be solved by electric motors alone.

This has frustrated me about Discord already.

Discussion that used to be "Googlable" in forums is now often locked way in semi private Discord channels, buried in long real-time conversation threads. And Discord's native search is barebones and awful.

That was an issue in IRC too, but I don't think people posted important announcements/info dumps in IRC like they do in discord. If they did, it would at least be quoted on a forum.

I have no problem with Github though. Its trivial to back up, open to search, has a good native search, and they have surprisngly resisted many bad incentives.
Still, inventing XMLHttpRequest wasn't Microsoft's undoing, but for many years we suspected it might be. This might be a similar situation.
Total nonsense.

Using valid words in one language doesn’t mean that they directly translate. Only the author knows the intended meaning—no one else would, without some sort of table that maps the nonsense expressions to the proper loanwords.

No one but the author would be able to decipher the true meaning of this essay, making it useless as a form of communication.

Show HN: Prompt Hallucination Debugger
Hey everyone, we built a quick tool to help prompt engineers test against a set of provided data and identify when hallucinations occur.

As the tool is in its very early stage I would love to get some feedback on:

1. Are prompt hallucinations a problem for you? If not, what's the main prompting problem that you are facing?

2. Was the tool helpful in any sense or are obvious key features missing?

Thanks in advance!
Historically his perspective was that it wasn't necessary. If you're getting full range of motion exercise, you don't need to stretch, because the exercise itself is doing what needs to be done.
I think 'let things die so you don't have to feel the pain of how other people might change them' is a pretty negative outlook on things
A lot of folks here seem to be jumping to the conclusion that this means that DeepMind is losing its independence.

Other than the addition of the word "Google" - which could simply be a rebranding exercise - I am yet to see any evidence in support of that.

P.S. In particular, there haven't been any indications that Demis's reporting line is changing.

I am primarily a system administrator (among other roles) and have been looking to make the jump into DevOps for a while. The main issue seems to be that almost no company hires for entry-level or intermediate DevOps positions, only senior with 5+ years experience of very specific tools. My guess is most of those get filled internally as lateral moves from regular developer roles.
The 9 comment thread looks pretty bare, unlike this one. What made it significant?
How? Using what laws? If there are no clearly relevant laws, perhaps you expect congress to pass one expediently?

Let's suppose there is no law on the books that explicitly fleshes out liability if you train a model and it does not do as you expect, we'll need to figure out some nearest neighbor matching.

So you will have to shoehorn this novel issue into some preexisting framework of precedent. Maybe something about negligence liability and a common public use item, like a bridge or something. But a bridge isn't as complicated as an ML model and a bridge failure is way more auditable. Bridges don't hallucinate. Also there are unintended consequences to doing this sort of legal massaging, before you know it, campaign finance = speech.

"Hold them accountable" is so broad that verges on meaninglessness. Part of the whole living in a rapidly evolving tech landscape is living with laws that are always a few steps behind the times. Which bleeping sucks, but until we press for a better large scale solution, it is going to keep sucking.
Elon Musk hasn't talked to Larry Page in years: 'He got upset about OpenAI'
I've done this for such a long time, one of the first times was at the eye doctor, when they test your vision with the symbols on the walls. Some of those "E" symbols were pointed in all directions and the hand twitch was so helpful. Thank you for sharing that tidbit!
Could you imagine if they did?

Someone might ask it:
"How do you I figure out if this person killed someone?"
and it responds:
"I can't be certain if they killed them but last week they asked me where they should hide the body."

But seriously, I think best argument for this is that the EU(or other euro nations) would not hesitate to go after a US company for collecting user data in violation of their data privacy laws. Even in the US, certain professionals are required to maintain confidentiality of certain records or face rather extreme penalties. OpenAI also doesn't have FAANG capital to grease Washington with yet and we know how kleptocrats love to leverage justice against newly emergent companies with valuable IP.

So if they say they don't, they had better not be or it would the likely be the end of them.

For anyone curious here's my video from watching the launch live at Isla Vista park on South Padre Island.

It's hard to state just how loud and insanely massive Starship is in general and compared to Falcon 9 (which I was fortunate to see launch twice recently). My bones shook and my ear drums felt like they might burst.

Incredible experience watching and meeting people from far and wide.

Highly recommend getting out to a future launch if you can!

> most drivers will just keep steering harder in response to under-steer

That's my point. Make the wrong correction in RWD car and you end up oversteering beyond 90 degrees in an unrecoverable spin. The failure modes of FWD understeer in the snow are all recoverable.

Yeah it does seem kinda weird. But did you see the SpaceX employees cheering like mad? It’s pretty clear that they think they made a massive step forward today. Are they deluding themselves? They’ve optimized for iteration speed and will have another couple full vehicles ready to go in a month or two. The raptor engines aren’t limited in supply; they’re making 1-2 a day.

My guess is the biggest issue is the destruction of the pad. Building it up so that it doesn’t get destroyed by each launch will be a very expensive challenge.

One reader's truths are the next reader's debunked misinformation. The next reader's sacred news outlet is a propaganda outlet for someone else.

I know people like their favorite news outlets. They'll swear by the legitimacy of the reportage. Others dispute the same. Why bother disputing it here?

Everyone has an opinion. Many will share their thoughts for free online. The value add of journalism isn't there anymore. I can click through to vapid takes all day. Few readers have the attention span to consume more than a paragraph at most.

Pulitzer was a tabloid publisher, political activist and later politician. Who really cares about these awards? It isn't a sports league play-off or a golden cup. It is an appeal to authority.

Muckraking has never been cheaper to achieve or consume. Inflammatory content has always grabbed eyeballs. Now those eyeballs have even more inflammatory, muckraking, outrage inducing content pursuing them.

If trends continue, soap-boxers will need to pay their audience. Meanwhile traditional journalists are locking themselves behind paywalls, auto-play videos, and 20mb page weights. If you've read this far, please invoice me for 2 cents.

> pornography is an industry rife with problems of trafficking, abuse, etc.

In my experience in the industry that is perception, not reality. There were a few cases to make the news cycle, like the Girls Do Porn lawsuit and the MindGeek/PornHub controversy with user-submitted content.

But precisely because of public perception the adult industry tends to be pretty good at self-regulating in my experience and opinion. I remember getting an email from a sponsor of mine several years ago telling us that their content could in no way be associated with text that includes "drunk / drinking / intoxicated" etc. and they told us that we had to change the copy on the pages that featured their content. Consent is a huge topic and way more nuanced than most people assume.

The finance industry on the other hand? We're talking about institutions that fund weapons dealers and warlords. With global investments from rights-infringing countries. Not to mention the white collar crime and corruption that comes out of that industry.

Public perception of the adult industry being "rife with problems" stems from the taboo and ideology IMO. Nothing is without problems, but it's all relative and some industries do have it worse than others.

Go into trades, they will take longer to be automated since they require a wider range of skills, labor is still far cheaper than automation, they're more sensitive and have space constraints that are all hard to solve with robotics. I would recommend plumbing, metalwork, and being an electrician.

Knowledge will only become meaningless as a means to pursue wealth, it is still meaningful in terms of understanding the human experience since that relies on perception, and only humans posses and will ever posses human perception.

Ask HN: Is there still a reason to use Okta for SSO? Okta vs. Google SSO
Is there even a reason to use Okta SSO?

Every company actively decides at some point in time how employees shall login to SaaS vendors. The typical answer for early stage companies is Google SSO, whereas later stage companies tend to switch to Okta SSO.

In the early SSO days Okta was the best option to get MFA and granular controls. However, nowadays Google is offering 2FA as well. It’s also often the default option with many SaaS vendors and therefore neither requires manually setting up SSO nor requires an enterprise-subscription (see [sso.tax](http://sso.tax) for reference).

Therefore, why do you believe people should still use Okta?

- Is the biggest reason to use Okta their SCIM-Provisioning, RBAC etc.?

- Are there any limitations in Google Workspace that only Okta solves?

- Or for the Google folks out there: What’s the reason you are sticking with Google SSO?
I agree with you. I'm aware that they have very serious, legitimate, award winning news coverage, and I applaud them for that - but if Hustler Magazine released a Hustler Weekly News magazine, I would not fault people for shrugging it off.

Also, it’s far cheaper for schools and the government to provide SAT tutoring to poorer students than say put them through 10 years of piano classes.

If private SAT tutoring is an edge for richer students it’s one that can more easily be minimized than really any other edge rich students may have.

Ask HN: Should open source allow AI training?
Open source has enabled developers to learn new patterns, build companies for almost free and has made a huge positive impact on developers.

Recently we have seen generative AI such as ChatGPT trained on open source code which are so good at programming. It has made us concerned about loosing/impacting our jobs. Should open source allow AI companies which plan to make billions using their work, to train on open source code?
The ambiguous part is "the development of any software". What does "development" mean? Is it used in the same sense as "real estate development" or "software development"? Does "development" include maintenance of existing software? As everyone here knows, software development (the profession and practice) is a lot more than just greenfield projects to create brand new products and IP.

Nobody is hunting with handguns or high powered rifles with high capacity magazines. Back when I did bird hunt, the entire community would jump on any fool that fired more than the allowed shells in a gun in rapid fire. It is obvious when it happens, and hilarious with how regulated guns actually are in hunting communities.

So, I reiterate. Nobody gives a shit about those. They are instead trotted out as a straw man to silence regulation of weapons.

I'm a little confused by your angle at this point, honest. Gun regulation should go after high capacity items and hand guns. After that, reckless regard to care and storage of munitions. Could probably move to control of the ammunition, as I can think of frightening few reasons for folks to have hollow point or incendiary rounds? Unsure that would make any real impact. Controlling handguns, though, is clearly something that should be done. It sounds like you agree there? Why sideline it with talking about how people are talking about AR-15s inaccurately? You literally brought that into this conversation.

If you want to know why bombing has gotten less, btw. It almost certainly went with more regulation of the ingredients that go into bombs. If you buy a lot of the ingredients that go into TNT, expect you will be rightfully checked up on.

I used recently to navigate a quite complex Bash script. This is using Codex.

I'd go just below the line that I don't understand and type

# Explain the line above in detail: << gpt explanation >>

And it'd write a very decent explanation that makes sense most of the time. Basically decrypting bash code, which I suck at.

However, there was one instance where it almost freaked me out as the output was quite human like:
