One of the most popular cars in Romania (and a lot of EU)is 10k euro Dacia, it has a nice range and can be repaired pretty cheap. if you say electric cars with a somewhat similar range will get that cheap, even sh, well, I hope we'll get that future) For now we have a 12k euro dacia spring, that is heavily subsidized(18k normal price) and with a real range of 100-150km depending on weather and speed, so we have some way to go
It takes work to separate two masses from each other (increasing gravitational potential energy). The universe is not just expanding, which might possibly be understood in an energy conserving way if the rate of expansion is slowing, but it is expanding at an ever increasing rate. Ergo enter guy is being dumped into the universe from some repository/field/whatever that we don’t understand. That’s what Dark Energy is.
The british sterling hasn't collapsed per se, but over the past 50 years, it certainly has lost a lot of its value, and mostly in the recent decade.

A collapsing dollar may not happen abruptly (which would happen in a war on US soil), but could happen slowly. In that case, holding US land (and plant&equipment etc) does still make sense, as these things will continue to function and provide goods.
They’ve been given plenty of clarity: crypto is very clearly a security and they’ve repeatedly been told it is such. What they want is for new “clarity” in which they are magically no longer subject to the same financial regulations that every other security is.
Alcohol has to be far, far worse for society than cannabis. But, lots of people and countries get very rich making the former - not so much the latter. No effing way alcohol would have been approved for sale now if we'd only just discovered it; it's a poison, attractively packaged as such.

NB coming from: I've never tried pot, and I quit a moderate alcohol consumption a few years ago as part of a long hard look at my diet and lifestyle. So much better for it as a middle aged man, it's crazy how beneficial it's been.

This is Hacker News so the conversation is obviously slanted towards code, but I wonder what the perspective would look like for other structured works, like books? If an author is using a "copilot for writers" and the AI emits text verbatim to another work, then I would think it would be plagiarism. If the text emitted is similar, but not the same, then I would think it would be considered paraphrasing which still requires attribution.
Here’s my metaphor. I’d love critique.

A fast growing tech company (meta, Google) is like a garden. You provide as much nourishment and land as possible to see what can grow.

From time to time, you need to trim back the weeds, or large yellow leaves, in order to let the desired parts grow.

Since you're putting up a false dichotomy, I still think having homeless people on the street doing drugs is superior to executing people for having 1 kg of plant material that is legal in a good part of the world.
Singapore is not a shithole, and it does many things right, but it seems like it has a lot of problems.

Funny to see this article because I thought of Singapore police as super efficient and ethical, but Tangaraju's case give a backwards impression that invokes racial bias and a flimsy case. It's sad.

But not surprising maybe as it's known as draconian, yet shocking to me how while it modernized its skyscrapers maybe its morals are not modernized.
I teach CS, so I haven’t had any threats or disputes with local churches or anything. However, I have had to deal with angry parents screaming at me because they just don’t understand why their kid is failing. One of them even pulled up my LinkedIn and tried to tattle on me to the chairperson [1].

If I’m getting complaints like that from parents in a pretty un-controversial thing like programming, I suspect people teaching evolution or history have it way worse.

[1] They seemed to think it was some smoking gun that I had another job, in addition to teaching, and thought that the chairperson should be informed. The chairperson called me into their office and asked what it was about, I showed them the previous email correspondence, and they laughed, since I had already been pretty straightforward about my current work.

ProTip: HN isn't looking for personal opinion on crypto. I'm not either for that matter, in either direction. That's why it is easy to rebuke the haters. They are so engrossed with their hate that they can't see that what they are saying is just repeated and boring trope. Easy to score karma against that.
AI today is not intelligent, it is just a sophisticated generator using patterns it was trained on.
It's not restricted to software features, though. Things like ebooks and (???) event tickets also have a 30% cut (Facebook had an angry dispute over this).
I would attribute those to USA specific issues i.e. gun proliferation rather than anything Singapore is uniquely doing to combat them.

If you look at overall crime rate Singapore is hardly a shining example:

Nowhere in your history link does it claim that Malaysia kicked Singapore out of its union because of opium.
You assume he hasn’t done research. Instead it could be his research found there to not be a clear “good” answer and the response was his way out of making a call at such a relatively early industry stage.
Australia is already a developed country and hence the importance of Industrialization/Manufacturing may not be as applicable to it as to other developing countries. It seems to be unique in its Mineral wealth which i suspect is what propelled it into the "Developed" category (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Australia).

It is Industrialization/Manufacturing which gives any country a stake in the Global Economic framework and hence its "worth" in the World. Note that Manufacturing in the 21st century is quite different from what it was in the 19th/20th centuries. The Covid pandemic and the Ukraine-Russia war has exposed the weaknesses in the Global Supply Chain i.e. a single point of failure due to complete dependency on a single Nation (i.e. China) and this needs to be reworked into a true distributed system. Every Nation needs a certain degree of Self-Sufficiency/Self-Autonomy to hold its own in the "New World Order". Finally Manufacturing is the driver for everything else like a)Innovation b)Productivity c)Standard of Living etc. which are at the very heart of development.

I think this makes it about Malay, when they're not in charge (or don't feel themselves to be). Most of the executed are ethnic Malay. It's more a Chinese run city-state. I think it's very much about money.

Most developed countries spend something like 12% of GDP on pensions. You would have to tighten the belt on those generations who caused the climate catastrophy not shut down pernsions.
No, Singapore got kicked out of Malaysia because Singapore is a Chinese-majority city in a Malaysian majority country and the Malaysian political party saw it as a threat to their power.

That plus both countries had very different ideas about how the country should be run.
"Emissions going down is the right track"

Emissions are NOT going down, full stop. At this point it's clear you are arguing in bad faith, so I'm done. 20 years ago people made the exact same dishonest arguments you are now, that over a few data points temperatures stopped going up, climate change was over! Every time there's a La Nina the same bad faith argument returns. In 5 years when it's clear that what you've said is wrong, you'll move on to some other bad faith argument like they did. I've seen the pattern over and over again over the last 25 years.

The evidence I've provided is clear, and I'm confident that anyone with more than two brain cells that reads it will see the obvious reality that it illustrates.
The article is inaccurate; GPT will be used as an interface to their data visualization tool. It's kind of like Tableau.
You already can. However, if you’re asking if they’ll bring down certificate-less sideloading, the answer is no.

It should be noted TrollStore does also enable this in certain versions of iOS, and jailbreaking enables this in older and newer, up to 15.x on arm64e devices (iPhone 11 and up), and up to 16.4.1, the latest version, on older arm64 devices.
I don't think this has anything to do with grammatical matters like count/mass nouns. It's just that a word for a collective can often be used either to refer to the collective as a whole, or to its individual members.

> Manchester City is a team with a long history.

> Manchester City are lined up on the field.

The count/mass noun issue comes into play when one is counting the thing in question, in which case corporations are clearly count nouns. E.g. you'd refer to several new Facebook-like corporations as "a new crop of Facebooks", not "..of Facebook".
We have no idea what they are. Their emergent properties remain unexplained, so soundbites like "linguistic mirror" are like saying "brains are organs, after all".
That's pretty interesting, I didn't know that. Thanks!

But even such history doesn't mean a place can't move with the times. Also, I don't think you can blame capitol punishment on this.
> The UN says that the death penalty has not proven to be an effective deterrent globally and is incompatible with international human rights law, which only permits capital punishment for the most serious crimes.

I don’t know it seems to be working in Singapore. They don’t have a fentanyl drug crisis.

On the other hand, this seems like a fairly excessive punishment given the safety and relative pharmaceutical use of marijuana.

On the other other hand, Singapore is pretty clear about the law and death sentence that will follow. You really have to be a special kind of dunce to violate that law (even if people think it’s excessive).

May God have mercy on that man’s soul, because Singapore certainly won’t.

Singapore is more aggressive about finding crime, catching criminals, and has a lower bar for what is considered a crime. Those would also affect their crime rate.

Some things are “uncharted” but others are simply illegal, like selling unregistered securities. The supposed confusion on this point is a pretense to help the legal defense whenever regulators get around to enforcing the law.

I haven’t read the article but I have been absolutely LOVING Apple Music Classical.

Trying out the app and spending a few nights listening has completely rekindled my love of classical music that consumed me for much of my 20s (although that was all with mp3s, it’s wonderful to hear original master recordings now of all my favorites, like Vladimir Ashkenazy’s phenomenal recording of Beethoven’s Piano Sonata No 23)

Now I listen to it because I want to, while cooking, etc. and my kids have started enjoying it too. It isn’t being played to expose them. It’s just there. I’m just dancing and waving my arms to it, and the passion seems to be infectious.

(All that to say that I still love streaming music, all depends on what you’re streaming)
The true test of whether Singapore provides a sustainable model for society is to see how functional your average western tier 1 city will be in 50 years and how Singapore will be.

It's not a stretch to predict that Singapore will remain a functional, clean society while many western counterparts will devolve into unhabitable messes.

It is unfortunate human beings still need a level of authoritarianism to flourish but that may be the case.

Before ChatGPT came out, I used to hire 2-3 freelancers every month for different writing projects. However, I recently realized that I haven't contracted any writers since then, without even consciously making the decision. Whenever I need some content, I can rely on ChatGPT to produce decent material. After some editing and refinement of prompts, it ends up being pretty excellent work. Moreover, using ChatGPT saves me time that I would have spent going back and forth to finalize a contract with a freelancer.
Unregistered securities are illegal.
The way the law works is often by banning based on intent and meaning and content. Exchanging information is too general: the law looks at what information, by whom, for what purpose.

Nearly every white collar crime fundamentally involves some sort of unauthorized communication. (Insider trading, for example, involves receiving information by virtue of a trusted position and then communication information to a broker which causes them to execute trades on your behalf). We can even get beyond white collar: hiring a hitman is obviously illegal even if it involves. communication.

I'm not saying (in this comment) crypto is necessarily bad. I am saying you need to defend it on the merits; it's just info so it's ok isn't how anything in society works.
Yes. See: https://www.moonsighting.com/1444shw.html
Crypto itself isn't illegal but why is it different? A real bank needs banking license and regulation and yet an "exchange" doesn't.
They are quite different neural net architectures! CNNs (ie convolutional neural nets) have little "patches" that are used to pick up features of the input such as edges, etc. As you go deeper in the network, these patches tend to pick up more and more abstract features, like textures or kinds of object. All this is passed into a fully connected network which then gives a prediction. CNNs are most famously used for image classification.

In contrast, an LLM is usually built using a sequence of Transformer modules, which use something called "self-attention": it modifies each piece of input seen so far to include information about its relationship with the other bits of input. In text, this is a natural thing to do (what role does my word play in the sentence); you can also do it with images (giving you Vision Transformers, aka ViTs) but it might be less natural. After self-attention is a little fully connected network, and then the output is passed into a new transformer, etc, for a number of times (commonly 6), until the output of the final transformer is used as the prediction.

In a nutshell: very different architectures, exploiting different aspects of the data (CNN: local structure; Transformer: relationship between all elements in the context).

They're not just exchanging information they're exchanging something that, by their very own account, has financial value.

Blizzard us a bad example. Their games take incredible amounts of time to start. I think they dont play their own games and nobody gives a shit.

The launcher is bugged and downloads either empty or 137mb patches (maybe bad CRC at some server? Different CRCs at some?). Every time.

Starcraft remastered was bugged at some point and couldnt be played for a week.

If you statt Heroes of the storm, it takes few minutes to download some 600 byte ghost patch, then does some (antihack?) processing... then you can start the queue after like 10 minutes.

It's probably like the GTA5 that also took ages to start due to poorly done code and devs not caring at all.

> The prompt it generates looks good and makes sense

What I'm trying to say is that that's exactly what it's optimized for. They're predicting what sounds plausible based on all the pre-gpt writing about AI.

But GPT was revolutionary! A lot of the pre-gpt blogspam and reddit comments and fiction and so on was wrong about how AI works in exactly the way you've been socialized to find plausible.

In general plausibility is the wrong metric to evaluate GPT on, and it's wronger than it seems like it should be.

Edit: And in contrast a human trying to write good prompts will have data about how GPT works that they've personally observed, and they'll weigh that data much higher than say Star Trek.

It's worth noting that they are going to hang this human, because a phone number maybe owned by him, had a call with drug traffickers.

The call history with drug traffickers was from months before his arrest on "drug consumption", where while in remand the police "made the connection" to the previous crime. He denied any involvement, but a court ruled that he owned the phone number. So....

Source: https://www.vice.com/en/article/88xn7b/death-penalty-singapo...

What if he dialed the wrong number?

What if it wasn't actually his phone, but was a shared phone among friends or family members (not uncommon in people without stacks of money)?

What if he lost his phone or it was stolen?

What if someone else had the number before him?

> a 1933 document about urban planning published by the Swiss architect Le Corbusier. The work was based upon Le Corbusier’s Ville Radieuse (Radiant City) book of 1935

I had to do a double take here. How can a 1933 work be based on something from 1935? Apparently someone changed[1] it from 1943 to 1933. The body still states 1943, so that's probably the correct date.
