You're correct. On the scale of vanity projects of questionable utility, manned space flight is definitely up there.
Copyright and patents shoukd stop at a stage like classification documents.After that it should be free to use by all. Or less govt should subsidise publications and patents by leving tax on the users.The subsidies to tge creators can be extended on registration. Afterall these creators use the resources and materials from tge society.They want recognition and money as profit for lifetimes. Those are moribund economic measures. Tax uses and leave all copyrights and patents off the hook.This will increase the coffers and some can be shared as subsies with creators. Books business (digital and hard copies ) is of high profit margin. Further these creators are obligated to universities and libraries for content discovery and creation. How will they pay back to society after living here andassimilating all content from libraries?
That's per passager mile, right?

For the comparison parent post is making - leisure travel - I think there's a big difference in that flying enables much larger distances, thus much more emissions.

You can easily fly 1000 miles each way for a weekend trip. Not as easily with a car, the travel tends to be much shorter.
Yes, but phones have a reason to be online most of the time.

A vehicle should be able to be used without ever being online.

What is your definition of useful?

In more lawful areas a theft can not use a stolen tractor because of police.
Since Eastern Europe is not so lawful, the owner will not receive new tractor or something.

So where is a good use coming from in your understanding?

Just from the fact that the theft will receive $30k in cash instead of $100k as the tractor cost? And that is the reason to buy a tractor with a killswitch which in some another situation (used not original parts, insulted the JD team, did something against ToS) might be activated AGAINST the owner?
This relates to John Deere tractors which were expropriated by Russians in the occupation of Ukraine.

What remains a problem is the thorny question of field-modifications by farmers who find out leasing rights to software isn't the same as owning an old Fordson or Massey-Furguson and hacking on the PTO.

John Deere has a 'right to repair' conversation going on in the USA but they trade internationally.
Just stop eating meat or reduce where possible and stop or reduce animal product consumption would help much more. Money is not the solution, but the problem IMHO.
> Google doesn't need more smart AI researchers, academics or ethicists. They need product managers who understand the underlying technology and can commercialize it.

Google's revenue is equal to the GDP of New Zealand. Google's cash reserves are sufficient to sustain the company through half a century of bad quarters. Not that they have had any bad quarters, ever.

They don't need anything.

Their ad business is a donkey that shits gold, with Chrome and Android keeping the competition locked out, and everything else doesn't matter for Google as a company. They've done little more than play around for the last decade, with an endless procession of hyped-then-canceled "products", and it hasn't affected their market dominance in the slightest.

They can keep fucking up for the foreseeable future, and it won't really matter. If a startup emerges that appears to have the right approach to AI, Google can simply buy it. Power is power, and everything else is nothing.

I grew up on a farm and I always thought that modern "off-road" viechles like pickup trucks wouldn't actually be good off-road.

These are the reasons:

1) They are too wide. Real farm tracks are often narrow and overgrown. You want a narrow viechle to fit down them.

2) They are too heavy. When they get stuck you want them to be light so it's easy to pull them out. Ideally a little manual pushing should be enough

3) Off-road "capability" isn't actually that important because you could get a Toyota Camry down 99% of farm tracks. The 1% that's impassible by a Camry is also impassable by most off-road viechles because a pipe broke or a river flooded and washed away the road completely. You want off-road capability to prolong the life of the viechle, not to get down the track.

4) You need good visibility from the cab so that you don't run over your colleagues when doing complicated maneuvers.

Those little Japanese pick-ups look perfect.

I believe you can do bold in Unicode. (see: 𝐛𝐨𝐥𝐝) As far as I know HN has never supported bold as a markup style.

Standard number sets can be done the same way; I would represent the reals as ℝ. My standard method is to go to the wikipedia page for "blackboard bold" and copy the letter I want.

I'd like to know more about the sets you refer to, ℝ[ε] and ℝ(ε), but I don't recognize them. Do they have names I can search for?
> As the technology evolves I see there being a greater demand for deterministic responses from LLMs.

I think we will see demand for it, but I also think it completely misses the nature of LLMs / for what they are most useful.

Can confirm. Although we used it fairly successfully in our datacenter. We had a few instances where setting the NIC config failed and someone ended up trying to debug a strange error who didn’t know anything about jumbo frames. It was normally only an hour before they reached out and we got it fixed.

This normally only happened when servers arrived with new NICs and no one thought to give us a heads up.
"As the models scale up, they spontaneously acquire new abilities and require less and less prompt engineering to produce useful results."

This resonates with my experience with AI art over the last few months. I often get better and more complex results with each new tweak/model done with simpler prompts.
Growing Artificial Societies is an interesting book that extrapolates on this.
I actually don't believe that the videos people will use will live up to the standard even if they claim they do. Observing average people, they model probability as a binary 0/1.

When I look at this, it's hard to grasp just how it's possible. But then I imagine I'm looking at electrons, atoms, small atomic particles. And I think, "These are kind of cool - some pretty simple concepts and they can do stuff!"

Then someone shows me a simple 555 timer that blinks an LED every second that's all built from electrons and atoms. And I "get" how it works, but I'm still blown away how amazing it all is.
Slightly trickier is how to generate a "history" file that will allow the model to use your voice.
Thanks for the useless hit piece, if you can find the scientific data, I'll evaluate it, but when I click into the links on the article, I'm unable to find it.

So we're clear: because surveys are incredibly difficult to do in a scientific way and there's a dozen ways to ask a question that can skew results, there's a hundred ways a journalist can misinterpret the results of that question, and there's a thousand ways you could incorrectly slice the demographics such that your survey skews completely out of sync with the target subject.

We want to know what large truck owners are doing with their trucks. We don't care about small truck owners not towing things because small trucks aren't considered to be excessive and truck beds are useful things on their own.

It probably depends on who's running the DC, and how well traffic is separated.

Path MTU detection is all sorts of fragile, so exposing a tcp maximum segment size implying a MTU above 1500 is asking for trouble; actually even just 1500 isn't always a good idea [1]. There are many networks where too big packets are dropped without notifications, and if the other end is also on a 9000 MTU LAN, then you can get stuck. sigh

On the host side, packetization is not that big of a deal; nics can help, but it's also just not that many packets. Where hosts tend to run out of cpu is when you're dealing with much smaller packets.

Larger packets could help routers of course. And larger packets would probably mean fewer acks, which would be nice too. But, it's unlikely to happen unless mtu probing is enabled in more places.

[1] The best is to send the lesser of (theirs - 28) or your actual value. Well best is relative, this will result in the most successful connections, at the expense of more packets for networks where people aren't insane.

Yeah, I have some really mixed opinions about this, and it's honestly really conflicting for me. As both a type 1 and a wannabe codemonkey, I love the idea of innovation and new software ~things~ in the t1d world because it's the confluence of two very essential circles to me.

But... this just kinda rubs me the wrong way. It's discussed and presented as if it's the first/only thing in its class- admittedly it doesn't do this in any overglorified or oversensationalized way, but just... in sheer ignorance of large, giants in the field who have done far more than this project for far longer.

The literal only thing this project purports to do is provide analysis for glucose data, and only from one very proprietary source, healthkit. Clarity and Glooko have been around forever, and they're stable, corporate products. But even disregarding the 'official' stuff, NightScout's reports are insanely powerful, https://nightscout.github.io/nightscout/reports/ and have been around for ages, and it and the existence of Loopkit constitute massive existing t1d/developer communities

It's a pretty app, and probably more userfriendly than nightscout to nontechnical folk, but why not just say that if that's your selling point? Why just ignore everything and pretend like you're the only thing that exists?

It feels dishonest and impersonal- borderline corporate, except I almost guarantee any corporate project that exists solely as a stand-in replacement to an existing product would be comparing themselves to every available baseline they could. It's like there's this broad community that already exists, and this project just... pretends they don't exist? I don't get how someone who's remotely tangential to the T1D community could either overlook that, or intentionally refrain from discussion about it.

It's not really a super egregious thing, so I don't know why I seem to care so much, but the whole vibe of this 'project' just feels odd to me.
Hey, you're pretty smart--why not give it a spin (ahem) yourself?

I tried Veri for a couple of months. Works exactly as advertised, gave me whatever insight there was to get out of glucose monitoring for a healthy individual, 10/10 would do it again. The review linked by somebody above is accurate (especially about their team being nice), so you can probably consider the reviews for the other apps as also being accurate and make your pick. But for a no-fuss good option, Veri is definitely ok.

As for insights gained... pretty much everything "they" say is true. The order of how you eat foods matter. Fibers, protein, fat, alcohol and movement all lower glucose levels.
I have had a similar hunch, that while humans have and will create powerful AI tools, that AGI is not achievable without consciousness.

I am also fascinated with the idea of conscious realism - the idea that consciousness itself is fundamental and that the material world arises from consciousness and not the other way around. If true, AGI will not be realizable within the current framework that is being pursued which may be humanity's saving grace.

> a 16 year old

A 16 year old has a decade of vision input, knows tens of thousands of words, has a coherent theory-of-mind, and has self-preservation instincts honed over hundreds of millions of years of evolution.

The equivalent scenario would be take a fully general AGI(!) that already has a body and has learned to manipulate the physical world, put that in the car and have it learn to drive.

A lot of people seem confused about these scenarios. The currently popular LLMs are like a child raised in a black box, and are weirdly retarded in the same way you would expect a child raised in a black box to be.

Similarly, driving AIs don't speak English, can't take instructions, and are simultaneously learning physics, theory-of-mind, the rules of the rode, and signage conventions without having agency during most of their training.
I find European cities to be well designed. Especially in the Netherlands where I currently live (not Amsterdam).

Another one to consider is a Suzuki Jimny. These are smaller again. You see people who cut off the back and add a tray. Great little things that get around well.

I have a 2002 Hilux in the 2.7L four-cylinder. These things tend to be fairly bullet proof and great for on farm work both in what it does and being a cheaper vehicle you done stress about dings and scratches.

On thing the article didn't mention about side-by-sides is they tend to do better in mud and hills. So in areas like I am where its hilly and slippery clay soils, side-by-sides can offer a decent advantage and safety aspect getting around vs a ute/truck.
