I feel the same way. At least in my social circles, "tech bro" tends to be used by the loudest and least-informed individuals when they try to marginalize something they don't understand, but vaguely don't like (or have read that they're not supposed to like).
Kinzhals are just air launched Iskander short ranged ballistic missiles. Russia calling them hypersonic weapons is technically accurate but misleading, as when people refer to hypersonic weapons they typically refer to weapons capable of sustained and maneuverable hypersonic flight within the atmosphere.

Patriot PAC-3 interceptors are literally designed to shoot down SRBMs, it's a primary use case. Many fundamental aspects of their design such as using (pseudo) hit-to-kill interception instead of a more normal blast fragmentation warhead are consequences of this focus. It's not surprising that this happened once Ukraine got modern Patriots.
Its also not a real stretch to imagine a scenario where human decision making by a select few who have control over this leads to exactly the same thing. Do you trust Putin or ChatGPT more? (actual question, I don't know the answer).
There are a billion of us speaking the language. It's a little presumptuous to tell a billion people what to do and there should probably be some amount of default resistance.

That peter ward stuff is really scary:

- Slowing of ocean cycles leads to a miasma of hot H2S and then swampy jungle like place.

- Slowing Reproductive cycles is nearer than wet bulb temperature related issues.
Mine is "try and" - Please, please stop saying this. It doesn't make any sense (except in the rare cases that it does, like "try and fail," unless you really are trying TO fail, in which case it doesn't)

The correct phrase is "try TO"

I'm on a one-person crusade to fix this throughout the English speaking world, by occasionally ranting about it to a relatively small group of indifferent people on the internet. Is it working?
interesting... i don't buy the 'we live in a simulation' idea though.

per my own living understanding, the simulation is in my head, each of us are running our own 'local instance' of this matrix/simulation.

this is made out of culture understood as an expression of software (but understood as a substance, I guess on this much I do agree with Vopson, information as a fifth state of matter? interesting)

finally, I think somebody should try to measure the gravitational contribution (if any?) of information.

with the most precision that is available measure a difference between a flash card (or similar, the denser the best) in which it is all zeros Vs one with the most random, highest entropy, sequence of 0s and 1s stored in it.
That’s tangential to your original point of discussion which was sensor integration. Sensor fusion is absolutely a solved problem. Autonomous driving requires more than just sensor fusion though.
With autonomous vehicles we could! You could safely bike coast to coast on the shoulder of any highway. The possibilities are truly spectacular.
I took this approach for https://legiblenews.com/ and https://www.thingybase.com/. The art on Thingybase is all poorly drawn stick figures that I sketched out on my iPad.

Not only do I recommend doing this when building apps or websites initially, but I recommend it for the final product. It ends up being much faster, easier to maintain, easier for people to read, and more accessible.

I have another app in the works that’s using https://picocss.com/ with basically no CSS. It’s great not having to think too much about design elements and focus on only the most important bits of the application.

What do you think the primary theme of HN is? Because the stated theme is:

> Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: *anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.*

(Emphasis mine.)
Much of todays conversation around AI mirrors conversations that occurred at the dawn of many other technological breakthroughs. The printing press, electricity, radio, the microprocessor, PCs and packaged software, the Internet and the Web. Programmers can now train functions rather than hand coding them. It’s just another step up.
They’re not pharmacies. They’re convenience stores that sell drugs on the side.

Use a dedicated pharmacy and you may get more performance, but the doctor delay may still occur.
Yeah, I only do eighth notes and sixteenth notes, not fifteenth notes, thanks.
I use GPT-4 with ChatGPT daily for coding. Here’s what I’ve found works for making the most out the limited prompts OpenAI gives you.

- When you first start, tell ChatGPT about the limitation. Example - “I’m only allowed to send you 25 prompts every 3 hours. As a result, I need you to keep track of the messages I send you. At the end of each response you give me, please tell me how many prompts I have left, ex: this ‘X/25’”

- Combine multiple questions into one prompt, and tell ChatGPT how to handle it. Example “I need help doing X, Y and Z. Please provide all of the details I need for each task, separating your answer for each with ‘—————‘“. Your prompts can be quite long, so don’t hesitate to jam a lot into a single prompt. Just be sure to tell ChatGPT how to handle it, or you’ll end up with shallow answers for each.

- Provide an excruciating amount of detail in your prompts to avoid having to waste other prompts clarifying. For example, let’s say I’m encountering an issue in an app I’m building. I will tell ChaGPT what the issue is, share the relevant parts of my code (striping out any details I don’t want to share), and tell it the expected behavior. This could be dozens of lines of code, multiple files, etc. It can all be one prompt.
I didn't say "just". Find a partner to marry is not a simple task. However, having it as a goal changes the perspective and the way to assess potential partners, their preferences and values, and, by the way, own preferences and values.

This word is new to me and I love it, thank you.
(The sibling comments are good but I want to add this anyway)

Wikipedia has a static test image for gamma here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Gamma_correction_test_pic...

If you look in the green section, you can see the background is a checkerboard of (0, 0, 0) black and (0, 255, 0) green. Because of gamma, this is not equivalent to (0, 127, 0).

The 2.6, 2.2, 1.8 sections are supposed to blend with the background if that's the gamma that your image-to-screen pipeline uses. (Including the browser's PNG decoder, the browser's painting and compositing, the desktop's painting and compositing, anything goofy the GPU drivers do, and all the goofy stuff monitors do)

Looks like my cheapo 2010 LCD's gamma changes greatly depending on viewing angle. Ugh :S
You have it optimize towards reasoning tests, not tokens or memory. It’s like if you were optimizing a race car. You make the explicit goal time around the track, not horsepower or weight.
Upgrading is only one way to achieve this.

The most likely solution is house battery backups attached to a virtual grid.

Nobody is telling a billion people what to do though? We're just talking about what word to use in an article edited by a handful of people. The billion people can keep using whatever words they want.
For those who are looking for more in-depth material, I'd recommend looking at Bruce Schneier's post about a workshop he organized on this topic a few months ago. The comments include notes on the presentations:

Meta Point: Ideally it'd be done very carefully.

Climate change research is often people's first look at how professional scientists operate, so things which are merely carefully working around systematic errors in other contexts may be suddenly deemed evidence of a fraudulent conspiracy.
There must be sufficient secular reason to have a given law. There are people in this country who believe that this is a "Christian" nation, and even some deep in the bible belt who believe that it should be illegal to be "not Christian". You run the risk of handing the country to people like that, when you allow too much religion in your government.

If you can't make secular decisions in your job representing all people in your constituency, if you can't separate your religious belief and personal morals from what is legislatively appropriate, then just maybe, you shouldn't be a politician. On the other hand, if you can act appropriately as a legislator, then I have no problem with a person who is personally deeply religious from holding elected office.

If you are a Senator or Representative in the US, you also represent the atheists in your constituency, as well of those of all other religious beliefs than your own. You don't just represent the ones who align with your religious belief.
How often did you post a video, and how long were they, roughly? I'm asking because my YouTube channel has about 2,500 subscribers but I've yet to see a penny.
what is a professional? Steve Vai? He knows all his scales. Eddie Van Halen? He's mastered scales at 12. Jimmy Page? ditto. Buddy Guy? He invented one.

If you're talking about a touring musician, or a studio musician, they absolutely know their scales.

Anyone who makes more than $20k/year with their guitar knows their scales.
Even better question:

For people who multiplatform, how does youtube compare to other platforms, and how does monetization differ on those platforms?

> it's incredibly important to reject the reframing of "AI safety" as anything other than the existential risk AGI poses to most of humanity

"AI safety" has been a term of art for many years and it doesn't refer to (only) that. Your post is the one reframing the term...see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_safety

Furthermore, I agree with Whittaker's point in the article, which is that arguments like yours have the effect of distracting from or papering over the real concrete harms of AI and technology, today, particularly on women and minorities and those who are both.
it does seem to me that we have decided on a date for the solution (EVs) without high confidence that the dependencies (generation) will actually be ready by that date.

but besides that, I'm not convinced that EVs are the best solution to begin with. EVs solve only one of several major issues with ICE vehicles. they still shed tire/brake particles, take up tons of space, encourage sprawling development, and are just as hazardous to pedestrians.

I can't help but think this massive investment of time and resources might be better spent on public transit that is actually pleasant to use. pax will typically optimize for travel time over all else. if the fastest option is public transit more often than not, personal vehicles will become a niche that doesn't matter much from an emissions perspective.

btw, I am an auto enthusiast. I love driving and I love cars. but it seems to me that most people don't enjoy driving at all. imo we would all be better off if cars were enjoyed intentionally by a small minority of enthusiasts. why spend so much to fix something most people don't like to begin with?
But this isn't gatekeeping. Everyone can vote, nobody is getting turned away at the polling station.

We won't know who got marked down for not answering correctly "Who was our first president". It might be busy professionals who don't have time to study (look at the CFA exam). It might be underprivileged minorities, which is a legit concern. It might be that it's evenly spread out who bothers and who doesn't.
Any of the high-temperature reactor designs (sodium, molten salt, TRISO, etc.) can be combined with thermal energy storage.

Light water reactors only get up to 300°C, which is barely hot enough to spin a turbine. At >600°C, you can heat an intermediate fluid, lose some energy, and still spin a turbine.
A more critical issue with just electrifying cars without also reducing the number of them, is that it's completely inadequate to meet CO2 targets. A new study in Nature Communications modelled this for London and found that:

"[T]he current system cannot reach stringent carbon budgets without adopting highly aggressive and disruptive policies. Electrification, including moving the phase out date forward, results in cumulative emissions 7 times greater than the Tyndall carbon budget for the “well below 2 °C and pursuing 1.5 °C” global temperature target. Rather, a combination of aggressive policies is necessary so that future emissions reach levels comparable to the carbon budget. Of these policies, the most important is reducing car travel activity. Policies that decrease car distance driven and car ownership by over 80% as compared to current levels are highly effective in edging close to the designated carbon budget."

I'm not familiar with another code editor with an integrated terminal, at least not one as complete as VS Code's before VS Code. I could be mistaken though.
They are using the current state of the law as their definition for what is unethical, not any attribute or characteristic of the act itself. This is circular.

It does nothing to explain what is ethical or not. Have someone who's worked in preclinical testing and clinical trials, my impression is also that they don't have firm understanding of what the current status even is. It isn't a hard line, but negotiated with the FDA on a Case by case basis.
If it's a major scale, you're not supposed to play minor third. Besides "every third note" will eventually be every note because there are 7 notes in a major scale. So, by the second octave major second will be one of the "fizz" notes (similar to ninth chord, stacked 4 thirds, having a major second).

This can be a legit exam BTW, some contemporary Western classical styles use these kind of patterns to make music.
Can we also talk about the fact that the fastest growing EV market isn't for cars, its for e-bikes[1], and e-bikes are crazy efficient, and 20x-30x cheaper, compared to electric cars. Example, an e-bike with 400wh ~5 charges of a laptop battery, can get 30 miles of range, compared to ~250wh/mi of a car[2].

Cities are slowly waking up to the fact that more people are biking, and more biking infrastructure leads to even more people biking.

I'm not trying to say that the problem highlighted here isn't valid, I'm merely trying to highlight that the scale of the problem might be lower than we expect.

There’s none in the Brussel area of Belgium. In fact, we’re stuck for the foreseeable future to a grid at 3x220 (nearly the only one in the world) because it’s too costly to update the network, cabin and so on.
We’re speaking about industrial level of power delivery to charge all those EV. Things need to change at a huge scale and the operator are not ready for that.
Source ? I discussed that with my operator for high power need - their answer was to move elsewhere.
I have not yet seen anything like this, but I have observed the Intel compiler produce different bytecode on Intel and AMD machines.

In one case, the compiler would use masking vector instructions on Intel but not on AMD. It was also the correct decision: Those instructions have very low latency on Intel, but are many times slower on AMD. On each platform, it produced the best bytecode that it could.
This essay and this crusade are a perfect embodiment of why no one takes Wikipedia seriously (even if we all use it as a starting place for research).

I cannot imagine dedicating 15+ years of my life over something that is grammatically incorrect in some contexts at its worst — but is frequently just a stylistic choice.

Of all the hills to die on and disrupt prose over, the author chooses this one. Wikipedia is full of poor writing and sentence construction, but this is worthy of 90,000 edits? Unbelievable.

Telling someone to “touch grass” is incredibly overdone and passé, but this person really needs to touch grass.
Do you have literally any evidence of this extremely bold claim? Especially considering we don't even have AGI yet?

In your non-existent calculations, have you taken into account the 20-30 years of energy and resources it typically costs to train a typical human intelligence for a specific task?

Have you considered that general intelligence uses on the order of 10 watts? Even if AGI ends up using 10x this, have you considered that 100 watts is a rounding error in comparison to the power use involved in all the industrial processes that humans currently coordinate?
YaCy always seemed like it'd be much more popular if it had a UI/UX overhaul. Once I figured out how to have it auto-index feeds from certain sites, recent linkding saved links, etc, it became a lot more useful to me. I also have SearXNG include results from yacy automatically so I basically never interact with yacy directly anymore.
What about 16 year olds who have children?

> There are records of who is the kid of who.

Without genetic testing some of these records are going to be wrong. And what of sperm/egg donors?

I hope rapists get no votes, but what if the rapist convinces the raped person to not go to the police?

I care so much about the quality of life of other people's children that I have decided not to have any of my own (this is not the sole reason, but it is a reason).
