If you prompt it with "sample contexts and expected responses," that is, in fact, a prompt that would produce those results. It's not a bad technique for crafting prompts, either.
It definitely will. After a couple years of experimentation and testing I've found anything over ~200F is basically undrinkable. It took me so long to figure this out because there were a lot of confounders -- I drank a lot of tea over the holidays back home, and while my parents' town is on the same water source I swear their florination is different, in a way that changes the mouth feel of the tea. I also had a new faucet installed and the galvanization in the new fixture left a strange aftertaste that took some time to track down. It was so bad that I seriously wonder how people can drink things that come out of Kohler faucets. Finally, I had some new mugs that were also causing problems...turns out the were only fired once? I'm not really sure how to describe it but it was kind of like drinking tea out of a soda can. Anyway, I eventually controlled for all this stuff and about 190F is the sweet spot. It's kind of embarrassing how much of an odyssey this all turned out to be, What works for other HNers?

There is a convenient garbage can as you exit the airplane; I think it’s intended to give people one last chance to contemplate the risk.
It's nonsense. Look at the production for the year for the last 10 years, not a snapshot of a nuclear lobbyist.
It's a very large horizon, so the Hawking radiation is very weak (it's always a weak effect). We can't see it because the cosmic microwave drowns it out.

Broadly Hawking radiation intensity goes with curvature - i.e. a more curved surface has a better chance of separating a particle pair then a flatter one. This is because a sharper curve means more vectors which carry you away from the event horizon.

This is also why small black holes evaporate faster then big ones - as the black hole shrinks, the Hawking radiation intensity increases because it's curving more and more (hence why microscopic black holes don't devour everything).
Looking back over my ~30 yr career I could pretty neatly divide my projects into two categories:

* Low volume, complicated queries

* High volume, simple queries

In the rare case that I've seen high volume, complicated queries it generally involves a lot of pre-indexing, denormalization, and exotic data structures.

Postgres really shines in the first case, which is probably the dominant case for "data important enough to pay people to work on".
It sounds like we agree that he should have, but he hasn't.
"Raking the forest" while a totally viable approach in very specific strategic areas is just way way too expensive and time consuming in the general case. California has like 30 million acres of forest land. Removing brush from a single acre is a multi-day job with the right equipment. It just can't scale.
I stand corrected. The website has not been updated, but their FaceBook page indicates that the computers are out, but the C64 is sold out at least in North America.

Terrible article written to create false sympathy for the person, and play distrust on the govt. I wonder if this is a Taiwan tactic to diminish influence of Singapore govt. the bit that really struck me is the line that says this is against international law.

Edit: death penalty for smuggling is law in 33 countries. European nations do not have capital punishment at all.
>I watched someone get hired, literally do nothing, and it took 7 months for the company to let them go

If they were "literally" doing nothing, like not even joining meetings or logging in, they could be fired within a week. What you mean is they weren't writing code to the velocity and standard that was expected. Maybe that falls on you for not helping them onboard?
Incredibly well positioned vs WhatsApp, iMessage, etc in the new world of LLM-enabled agents / chat bots… I’d put money on others launching similar things. Hard to see the current web UI remain the long-term format on mobile, maybe web too if the Telegram / other messaging apps well support this.
In my opinion, based on what I have seen and understood thus far, not close at all.

But they can, in some scenarios, give the appearance of being close, which might be enough to be useful for some AGI purposes, whatever those might be.

Android is open source. You don't have to be a large player to make a phone with a custom OS. The hardest part will not having access to Google's Play ecosystem if you modify the OS too much.
Ok I did some more research and I guess you're right
although I haven't found anything exactly authoritative about what exactly it means

http://www.informationsordbogen.dk/concept_comment.php?cid=6...

https://www.forskerforum.dk/aktuelt/2022/august/tysk-forsker...

however in Denmark there is more protection in general against getting fired than in the U.S although not as much as other European countries, also a period when you've been let go you have severance, I think most I.T jobs are 3 months although I have seen some situations where it's 4 months. Maybe it's longer for academia.
A not so uncommon scam where I live is to create a company, do a few big transactions with it, gather debt towards the government in terms of wat taxes and the like, and then "sell" the company to someone extremely poor who becomes liable for the taxes.
Next time, please mention AI in the title so I can avoid clicking on it, thanks.
You stated that it's because it's the company he founded and owns, which is the legal reason.
How are you thinking you'll structure your frontend? I've been looking at ZIF, maybe the CMX991 or similar.

One thing I've also been investigating is the possibility of pushing the bandwidth way up to 10-20MHz and using a larger FPGA for DSP then conversion to PCIe. An increasing number of smaller SOCs/SOMs are supporting PCIe so that opens up interesting options like a CM4 on the low end or a Jetson Nano on the high end for all manner of shenanigans.
Can you give 10 years notice and if you get fired within 10 years they would be forced to pay out 10 years?
The meme is a bad interpretation of "Asabiyyah" which covers something else, entirely. It's also not clear whether it's still valid today with the globalized world-order created by the US and its allies.
Re-read the article. Different teas require different preparations for "best results". Some teas work better with boiling water, others with lower temperature water.

What I took from the article was that there appears to be a rule (I am imagining because I'm not a green tea expert) that green tea should never be prepared using boiling water when in fact, as the writer states, is false. As in "it depends".

And near the end of the article they state:

"However, you should prepare tea in the way that works best for you. If you want to boil your sencha because you want it to be very bitter and astringent, by all means go ahead."

I don't see any contradictions.

It's like coffee, different beans, different roasting of those beans, different grinding of those beans will mean there is no one true way to get the best extraction, and your preferred extraction might differ from another's extraction method.
You want a plausible scenario for destruction via AI? Here's one. Some idiot governments put a neural network behind missile defense or nukes. Because ANNs are uninterpretable black boxes, at some point the system does a counterdefense against nothing or grossly overreacts to some stimulus. Tada, absolute destruction and chaos. This might seem far fetched, but is it really that out-there of a scenario?
Why not both?

Was wasting trillions of dollars also part of the original promise? No. So the original contract has already been broken.

Btw, not all spending is "promised" spending. Around 30-40% is discretionary spending. Spending that was not promised and is optional. This is on top of the massive levels of waste.

So where's the "solar spills" or "wind contamination?"

One of these solutions is encumbered by problems of safety, the other capacity. It's easier to scale up capacity than it is to scale safety.

If I had to make long term bets, radioactive materials will continue to be radioactive, green capture, storage and transmission will get cheaper and more reliable.

Speaking of transmission, that's another huge problem. You can't go plopping powerplants just anywhere, and power generation needs to be somewhat close to those consuming it.

Distributed collection and storage helps reduce challenges around transmission infrastructure in low density or hard to travel areas.

Consider Puerto Rico, their investments in solar have skyrocketed, especially with the need to rebuild so much infrastructure. They had nuclear, and they were cleaning up contamination for decades after shutting it down. Also part of the issue with power there is transmission. You don't get the efficiency out of tiny boilers to make them cost effective for these folks.

I think you're pushing a bit hard for a tech that has a lot of problems and while it could play a role in our future, it's unlikely to be a dominant force.
I think it would be nice if our murder and theft rate was 10x+ lower and drub abuse 20x lower.

The implication was that no credentials would be required if the person signing off on it was held liable, so a company could pick up anyone off the street and have them sign off
> it doesn’t seem like Google is institutionally capable of competing

They don't have to compete. They can just buy any startup that's a potential threat to them, or lobby for laws that would effectively make them illegal. That's what power is, and it's all that matters.
By that logic, most financial crimes are just people signing and exchanging pieces of paper.
> See "red diesel" in the UK - its just plain ole diesel taxed differently for commercial use, but illegal for use in privately owned personal vehicles. It's dyed red to allow its use in private vehicles to be discovered from the discoloration of engine parts etc.

Maybe, but we're talking about the banning of ICE vehicles, not the banning of fuel.

I mean, "you won't find fuel because it will be illegal to possess it" is a substantially different argument from "you won't find fuel because no one will produce it anymore".

The 30% rule only applies if you are paying to unlock software features. If you’re paying to purchase real world things it doesn’t apply. E.g. 30% rule doesn’t apply to amazon
The thing that concerns me is that there’s very little consequence for outright lying. Even if we did buy into the groomer conspiracies and play everything exactly how Ron Desantis wanted, that won’t necessarily stop an unscrupulous parent from just outright lying and making our lives difficult.

I don’t think a majority of parents would do that (conservative or otherwise), but all it really takes is one to make our lives frustrating.
The problem is it’s far, far from a shithole. Aside from the laws Singapore is basically the dream city that people want.
How can it increase taxes? Unemployment is funded by payroll taxes that are fixed and non-negotiable.
This data is still compatible with the statement “most of the layoffs are not software developers”, most likely is they are being layed off at a similar rate to everyone else and “software developer” is simply the modal role at a tech company. What other category of employee do you have that many of?
They're unregistered securities. Putting them on the internet doesn't change that. We have laws for securities.

If you carve a dollar sign into a Banana, commit fraud and embezzle billions of dollars, the problem wasn't the lack of Banana law.
ICE prices will continue to drop. SSD hard drives (the newer, more efficient and faster technology) prices have plummeted in the last 10 years, however spinning rust prices have also plummeted, making spinning rust the only choice if capacity-per-dollar is your metric.

You also mention climate change, but I don't see how an extra average degree of weather (if that materializes) will be worse than stripping poor people of transportation and condemning them to never having a job (since most lower rung jobs require a car).

Certainly, these poor people will absolutely eviscerate you at the polls if you level them with this massive poor tax.

As for public transportation, the US is incapable of building new rail infrastructure. California's $150,000,000,000 LA-to-SF train is an unmitigated disaster, Chicago's rolling stock is extremely old and falling apart and New York City takes 12 years to build 4 miles of new lines, at a cost that is quadruple what France would spend for identical infrastructure.

You're in a dream world. The same people who claim that a poor people tax helps them also support cash pits known as modern rail infrastructure in the US (it's more like grift and fraud, though).
So I just watched WPH as I haven't seen that one before and noticed the cat was similar to the one in the Weird Al Yaknovic music video for No Cigar. I don't know if personally you had a hand in that one, but all in all, the show looks pretty good for 1999 and probably looked less stiff on a CRT than it does on my phone.
It's a legal term of art. The term 'natural person' means a human.
And there are plenty of real disasters that were several times deadlier than Chernobyl, yet I doubt most readers have heard of them since they don't involve the term "nuclear"

Nuclear is one of the safest form of electricity generation, even though plants built before 1980 account for most electricity production. Safety is not an issue with nuclear, when doing a good-faith comparison with other forms of energy production and the continued damage of climate change.
There is a fundamental difference between some corporate groupware and a system that reaches 60% of all humans alive.
That's between them and the people who choose to hire them (the shareholders) and lend them money.
On the plus side, it probably delivers on time.
Handful of great new hosts I’ve seen pop up:

Render.com, Fly.io, northflank. And I actually like AWS lambdas, so great option for me is SST.dev, which wraps AWS CDK, and provides an actual live development workflow with actual AWS resources.
Funny enough, this is why you see wind farms where there is a decent prevailing wind.

The biggest issue is usually our lack of capacity to store/transmit. They shut of some turbines because they over produce for the Network capacity.
Most of it is probably mono, so double the estimate.

2% of GDP is the estimate to go 100% renewables for the entire energy sector (not just electricity) for developed countries. For instance for Germany the estimate is 500 to 3000 bn EUR in total.

If licensing shouldn't matter, just the willingness to sign something, then everyone is a structural engineer.

Isn’t this just how making a product (any product) works? If you’re a small company and you don’t have a patent over the general concept of your unique product, another larger company can swoop in and make the same thing and run you out of business. It’s pretty much why parents exist.

(Mind you I’m not a fan of general software patents, but that’s what’s needed if you don’t want this to happen to software.)
Being a structural engineer is not the same thing as being a good one. There is nothing to stop.
Due to their really low prices and the fact that they don't force you to prepay for your VMs they get a lot of spammers/scammers, so while this is unfortunate it is somewhat understandable.

Blizzard sorted the high res textures and some of the raids last so that you could start playing the game halfway through the download.

Another problem is chunking the data properly so that incremental updates are not hugs.

That's really cool! There are situations where data is unreliable or congested, having a backup is very handy. SMS is very common LMICs as data can be expensive, nevermind the devices themselves are difficult to come by. I could see a UCS-2 implementation being a great feature for a project like this.

I built something similar recently (inspired by this project), a SMS to DuckDuckGo search [1] and weather lookup [2]. The submitted repo's app is Android only, so having a more universal approach is fun to have. I live and work remotely, my closest neighbour's km's away do not have internet but only cell phones with unlimited SMS. With no internet, they would not be able to download the app. Sort a chicken and the egg problem.

It’s not to do with money.

Part of it is due to the opium wars, where Britain forced China to take their opium via military means.

On the Malay side it is due to Islamic prohibitions on drugs. Arab countries also have extremely harsh drug laws.

And in modern times there’s just a desire to not end up like the Americas.
Been a while since I read the book as well, but wasn’t part of the narrative that their backstop as insurance enabled traders to take bigger and bigger bets, because they were hedged with LTCM?
At least in the US, you could kill as many people as you wanted and it wouldn't solve the problem, you'd just be guilty of committing a holocaust.

Singapore has a lot of issues beyond just their drug laws. Their entire legal system is one of the most broken of any developed nation. Being able to city plan OK doesn't excuse that.
If I need to, I'd become an electrician.

Finding gainful employment isn't difficult when you are over qualified and have spent decades practicing self study.

Being a white male with a "normal" name also tends to weight the curve a bit.
Out of curiosity, does that mean you pronounce "historic" substantially different from "history"? And how about "the historic" as opposed to "a(n) historic"?

I'm not a native speaker, but the thought of essentially pronouncing "the 'istory of ..." or "the 'istoric ..." feels a bit comical, but perhaps that's what you do to be consistent?

It's been proven to work and the only able to displace fossil fuels, yet it's existed for 70 years and not even reduced the amount of fossil fuels used in electricity production. Renewables have been pushed for 20 years and have started to accelerate only 10 years ago, yet they are already displacing fossil fuels in many countries.
And that end justifies any means, right?
Taipei Times is not state owned so their actions shouldn't be conflated with that of the government.

And the international law for smuggling is not the death penalty.
Well I am not sure it helps to dwell in the past.

Yeah that's more or less my take. Essentially the court wants a jury of laypeople who are able to understand legal terms that professionals spent years in school studying. They also want jurors to render opinions on things completely without contextual knowledge – the case I was on involved alcohol so having strong opinions on alcohol was a nearly instant dismissal, I've never seen so many teetotalers in my life.

There are people working to change this, and I think the ability to ask questions is a relatively new development, but it's slow going as anything with our legal system generally is.
What you describe seems exactly that to me. When building a new home and it’s energy neutral or very efficient, you get a large tax benefit. All home builders I know off take this into account.

Do you have an example or idea of what you are thinking about?

Plenty of homes are now switching to heat pumps and they’ve added solar in the last decade so more and more homes have become “energy-neutral” to a degree.

Add in electric vehicles and residential batteries and we should start seeing some families be self-sufficient

It’s probably too little and maybe too late, but there are plenty of changes
