I understand the technical part: they are unlocking the extra power electronically.

What I don't understand is what is different between the headline saying that you can pay $60 for your car to go faster (true) and parent poster saying "pay an extra $60 monthly your already-expensive vehicle will not give the full outstanding performance that your particular hardware was engineered to do"?

Those two statements seem to say the same thing? What am I missing?
Only so long as DRM is easy to circumvent. Treat it as a competency test.
Surely you agreed to it more than you agreed to getting your legs broken, right? I mean you still live here, and you voluntarily enter into contracts with arbitration agreements.

I guess I can avoid the shorthand and say we all agreed except for monastic hermits and people who fled the country in search of the land of milk, honey, and unlimited jury trials.
A first year in a law firm doesn't just draw up a contract and everyone blindly signs it. A first year at a law firm is an expensive GPT-4.
This is simply incorrect. ECS doesn't cost anything other than what you're paying for the EC2 instances that you place your tasks on. Fargate does, but that's not what they're using.

So Passkey = Something you have, PIN = Something you know.
Most don't ask for the master password by default. Mac Keychain for example is "unlocked" at login unless you change that. iPhone Keychain will input passwords from just FaceID, no passcode prompt. Desktop Chrome and Firefox just autofill passwords no questions asked.
Why do you say that?

The first paragraph speaks for itself. The whole "involuntary" part of "incel" implies that your celibacy - the fact that people don't want you as a partner - is totally out of your control. Incels are the epitome of "nice guys".
A computer could clearly emulate the neurons in the human brain right now if we could map the connections and their strengths accurately - the human brain has many less neurons than GPT4 has parameters.
Only the absolute worst bank accounts in the US have monthly fees. And effectively no credit unions do. I certainly wouldn't sign up for an account that charges me anything, but I've never had to bail on making an account because they would have.
The people who seem most enthusiastic for giant bank accounts (read: billionaires) seem to lack these morals, by and large.

That makes sense. But I would argue to smaller/cheaper models are not a threat to Google, they are a solution. They will still have the reach advantage and can more cheaply integrate small/low costs models at every touch point.

Biotech VC on pace for worst year since 2016
Google's best bet to topple the existing advantage from the competition is to train a model on their whole giant internet index on their own compute cloud and then release that model under GPL v3.0/Apache/MIT/CC license.

This will eliminate first mover advantage for the competition. These models (by OpenAPI et el.) however, cannot be monetised indefinitely just like in past compilers, kernels and web servers could not be monetised indefinitely.

These days, majority of the computing is on GCC, Clang, LLVM and Linux which wasn't the case at one point and even Intel used to sell their own compiler (not sure of the current status)
There are proliferation concerns because spent fuel has plutonium, and burning the waste in the breeder produces (and then burns) more plutonium.

An AI-driven world will be a dystopia of unemployment and hyper-wealthy tech billionaires. There is no conceivable reality where OpenAI (or whoever) replacing millions of workers would result in those workers retiring early.

If automating jobs out of existence led to more freedom for the people who don't own the automation, we'd see a bunch of coal miners happily enjoying their leisurely lives.
I don't think it would need to apply to all SWEs, but would make sense for safety critical things like firmware that runs vehicles, roads, bridges, etc. Certainly the sort of systems that interact with or control other systems already requiring a PE.

BioE doesn't have anything like that yet either.
One of my stoner friends in high school 10-15 years ago was dating an autistic girl, and he mentioned that it had some medical benefit for them.

Obviously it was ‘pothead science’ without a mechanism etc but it has been a thing anecdotally for at least as long as the medical push has existed.
Lua is a better integrated language simply because that path is intended by its developers and directly documented, and its runtime is designed to be easy to couple to C. But nothing about its semantics make it better for that task than javascript. They are extremely similar except lua doesn't have stuff you would almost always want like basic string manipulation tools, regex, any array operations more sophisticated than loop.

You can argue you don't need those things, but their lack isn't a feature either. If you're not coupling to C's memory model or if for some reason someone has already done the work of building and debugging the integration... you gain nothing by using lua over js.

I've done professional work in lua and it's highly overrated imo. For integrated languages Tcl or janet is a better choice, unless your use case is extremely extremely simple and then forth is a better choice. The only time I would choose lua is if I'm integrating with C, the integration language tasks are very simple but also requires coroutines. Lua's coroutines are genuinely good.

> What is the point of a jury in your opinion, if not to act as a check on the legal system itself?

The check on the legal system is appealing to the higher courts. They can strike down laws that are against the constitution. Trials aren't referendums.

> If all we want is a list of the current laws as written and someone to compare evidence against it as a checklist, why bother adding potential inaccuracies by asking a jury of people who aren't trained in the law?

Based on this, it seems like "exit tax" is a bit of a misnomer -- the proposal was just to tax people even after they've left California, but they would have paid the tax even if they hadn't left.

I think you should see this more as people putting their money into different investment platforms rather than people withdrawing massive amounts of cash and keeping it under their mattresses. When you invest a minimum of 100k Euro your options open up significantly in Europe. This is because our consumer protection laws have lower requirements for what is deemed semi-professional investors and up, which makes it easier for companies to be caretakers of your money.

Right now things are slowing down, and have been for a while. Not so much because demands are declining, but because interest rates are increasing. Which means a lot of people are looking to put their money into safer options than what they have been for the past decade or so. Traditionally this would have been (or at least involved) banks, but because many banks have been slow to drop their negative interest rates on in-loans, they are also very unattractive options when you're looking to store your savings. At the same time, banks have been a little slow to react to the fact that there are now a lot of stable options for those €100K+ investments because their primary focus has been on loaning and not in-loaning.

I wouldn't worry too much about the banks unless you have stock options in them or work for one. Especially if you don't have more savings than what is covered by your government. But pulling money out to keep as cash would only really make sense if you're paying a lot of money to keep them in the bank, and if that's the case, I'd probably look for a different bank first. Depending on where you live in the world of course.
I would not be surprised if the "dormant until triggered" explanation is true for most conditions.

This seems to be pretty compelling observations for various disorders like Alzheimer's, various autoimmune conditions, etc. being caused or exacerbated by previous infections.

It was the case for me. I apparently have the genes for a semi-rare autoimmune condition (Guttate Psoriasis) that was triggered after a bout of some kind of viral illness. Typically, step throat is the trigger for many with the disorder, but that was not the case for me.

> I've seen interleaved lexing and parsing, where the recursive descent parser asks for the next token, which is computed on demand.

This is how I implemented it in my language. Evaluator asks parser for a value, parser asks lexer for one or more tokens, lexer asks the I/O layer for characters. It's nice.
I use it at the end of the subscription period as a means of easy cancellation. So I struggle to see that as a form of non payment.

It's not just you. I can understand it, in a sense -- humans aren't really well equipped emotionally to think about this sort of risk, even if they're working on it. We're really good at rationalizing things.

You might think, "AGI is going to be good, that's why I want to keep working on it", when your actual chain of reasoning is more like "Hmm, I'm not a bad person, and neither are my friends. They all want to work on AGI, so it can't be the case that AGI is going to turn out badly, because that would make us all bad people, wouldn't it? So AGI must be fine."

Or you might just not think about it much at all, you just keep showing up because it's really interesting work and you like your co-workers. If you think about it, that would make you uncomfortable, so you avoid thinking about it.

I apologize if I've offended anyone with this. I'm saying this because I have experience with this sort of rationalization myself and things I've done in the past, and I don't think I'm less self-aware than the average person.

If you work on this stuff, please take some time to think through and grapple with the way the future looks. Please question your assumptions. What sort of future are you imagining? Why do you think that machine super-intelligence will want to help humans? What sorts of failure scenarios are there, and how will we prevent them? How will the world look when there are a multitude of intelligences that are far beyond us?
Imagine for a moment that you live in a country that has fought a half dozen wars somewhere in the past century, and that every one of those was (more or less) morally justified. Your great-grandfathers, grandfathers, and father were probably drafted into those, fought and (likely, you were born after all) returned.

But the next war comes up, and everyone tells you that it's righteous too. Maybe they're mistaken or deluded. The people in charge, demanding this war, they aren't supervillains either. They believe they're fighting communism, and while they probably couldn't have known for sure at the time, history has shown it to have been horrible enough that some sort of strategy should've been employed (even if not a shooting war).

Are you going to be the one to back down? There's none of this wokeness that exists today. You'd be called worse than just a pussy for dodging it. Even those who knew of and understood shell shock only cut slack for those who had suffered it, you wouldn't get pre-emptive sympathy.

And those grandfathers and fathers who did go off and fight, you're sort of insulting them though not coming out and saying it outright. If you're morally justified in dodging the draft, should they have done the same? They didn't, so are they just amoral killers now? And this isn't going on in your own head, not entirely, you can tell they're sitting there thinking the same thing, wondering if you'll be one of the hippies that insults them by dodging.

There may be moral principles strong enough that it would demand someone dodge the draft, but those sorts of principles aren't popular or encouraged in the US. Why, if people will dodge the draft during bad wars because of this, what does it mean if the principles say "all wars in which enemies aren't landing on our beaching and dropping shells on our undefended cities are bad"? Well, it means that officeholders who will eventually want a war of their own can't have it. And all officeholders eventually want a war, even if they all can't agree on which.

That's why everyone didn't dodge the draft. Sociological pressures, psychological pressures. Ambiguous popular moralities and people not wise or strong enough to create better ones.

Ironically, pre elon-buys-twitter, it did in fact look like Twitter was going to end up implementing AT, if all went to plan. But then post acquisition, if anything, that looks less likely.
Perhaps, but I recently added passkeys for Apple and Google accounts and the actual enrollment process and login didn't feel much more complicated than using the built in password manager for Chrome plus Touch or Face ID which people are already familiar with.

That itself may be too complicated for some but it essentially was a few automatic prompts and instructions to scan my finger to login after it was done.

Americans do not have to forgo their cars. They just need to forgo a single car. Most families I know have a car per adult, and often a spare in case one breaks. However they could easily drop down to one truck (not car, though maybe a SUV or minivan) for those rural/wildlands trips and other things that need a truck. All we need to do is give them a good option for the 90% of trips that are not those things: getting to work, getting groceries, running to schools, going to church, the game, the bar...

Just because we can't eliminate all cars doesn't mean we can't/shouldn't have great transit. Focus on make a system that is useful for people for the 90% of trips at less cost than the one car they are getting rid of to pay for it.
I think you can do exactly that by using a Fido key instead of face / touch authentication for your device.

This is the same thing people found out trying to sell their used game consoles with a bunch of downloaded games. No extra value to the buyer, because as soon as the seller disconnects their account, all those games disappear. And in the case of the WiiU and 3DS, are now unavailable for purchase.
The bigger the reactor, the lower is the ratio of its surface to its volume, and the fewer neutrons escape without doing useful fission work. Smaller reactors produce more radioactive junk (irradiated steel and concrete) than bigger ones, per MW produced, AFAIK.

You seem to refer to the UK from the position of an outsider, in which case you can't possibly understand what our constitution and monarchy mean to the majority of us. The UK system is sublime and built on subtlety and nuance. Unfortunately that means that people who don't fully understand it underestimate it.

Honestly, I can't see Google failing here. Like other tech giants, they're sitting on a ridiculously large war chest. Worst case, they can wait for the space to settle a bit and spend a few billion to buy the market leader. If AI really is an existential threat to their business prospects, spending their reserves on this is a no-brainer.
Ask HN: How Safe Is ACH?
Lots of merchants are pushing ACH.
I am worried that it seems like anyone can authorize a payment with my routing number and account number which is on every check I've ever given out.

Also my bank says ACH transactions essentially stay authorized until they are explicitly stopped in writing. Which if I understand right means these vendors can make future withdrawals.
