If it is admitted to be conscious, idea-understanding, it would be enough like a human and would have to have human rights (and not abused like it currently is). If it doesn’t have human rights, it’s not human-like enough for this to matter. I think these are mutually exclusive.

Batteries are currently following their own version of Moore's law, though they double in quality (or halve in price) every 48 instead of every 18 months. Of course, that isn't a trend that can continue forever, but it doesn't need too many more iterations to be the only game in town.

Just so you guys know, this take is from my fellow ftxbro Caroline Ellison. This is her old blog. She deleted it, but it was archived. Now it's unironically number one on hacker news front page lol.
They say in their blog post:

> I’m starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel, but hitting shipping parity will depend on the E5 production run going according to plan, and our not hitting any more supply chain snags along the way. Because of this uncertainty, I have not yet updated our 52-week lead time on new Librem 5 orders, and will likely not update it until the E5 production run is complete and waiting for its turn to ship to customers. [...]

So, they are keeping the 52-week out of "uncertainty". Which is fine, by all means. However, they are quoting 8 weeks to investors without mentioning the uncertainty. Which is legally worse? Misleading customers, or misleading investors, if that uncertainty materializes? Especially on a sale that does not appear to meet other legal checkboxes like investor status verification?

> Hydrogen/windgas - only about 50% efficient round trip

Moving electricity (at least in the UK) is only 90% [0] efficient on transmission alone. So, getting the power to the generation, which then becomes hydrogen at 50% capacity, to later burn at a certain efficiency and turn into electricity that gets transmitted at 90% efficiency, feels wrong. Unless your "round trip" figure includes the transmission losses, but then 50% feels too high to be doing that.

I think it's the other way around. With certain thought techniques, you will find yourself writing. I'm sympathetic towards having a mode of thought that allows you to be a prolific writer and then bemoaning the lonely path you're on as new technologies allow people to completely bypass what you are good at.
People simply do not understand what they are missing.

However, people who don't write weren't going to be writing themselves anyway. It's similar with math. Everyone talks about how important it is for children to learn math in school. And everyone recoils with primal terror if I so much as mention the most minor of mathematical constructs.

Be joyous that you are good at something. But I don't think you should look down upon those who find a way to survive by not being good at your thing. Even if things would objectively be better if everyone was a mathematician, scribe, and poet, this is probably not a realistic goal.

Ask HN: Has autocorect ever landed in an HR meeting?
We all know the frustration of auto-correct incorrectly guessing what you meant when typing a word that's not in the dictionary. A coworker of mine actually got in hot water after his Android phone auto-corrected "nuget" to the (racial) n-word. I would have thought autocorrecting to THAT word would have been a hard-coded "don't ever do this!" situation, but apparently not.

By demonstrating that the phone misinterpreted a word not in its dictionary and that the context of the conversation was about a .NET application the matter was dismissed but I would have thought certain words wouldn't be suggested unless the user overrode the override to put in the offensive word.
Had(have) a Laptop that crashed reproducible when touching it wrong. Had a few btrfs corruptions on it and after a while got enough. Have it running bcachefs as rootfs for a few years now and had no issue whatsoever with it. Home is still btrfs (for reasons) and had no data loss on that either. Only problems I had were fixed through booting and mounting it through a rescue system (no fsck necessary) had that twice in 2 years or so. Was too lazy to check what the bcachefs hook (aur package) does wrong.

Edit: Reasons for home being btrfs. I set this up a long fucking time ago and it was more or less meant as a stresstest for bcachefs. Since I didn't want data loss on important data (like my home) I left my home as btrfs

Okay so some people don’t even have the latest hardware revision so they’re stuck with a phone that will never support suspending and will have terrible battery life forever?
I'll cut straight to the chase:

White people are _not_ more intelligent than black people. And it is both factually incorrect and racist to believe so.

- "I never said white people were mo--" Sure, but that is nevertheless the belief held by 99% of the people who think that some ethnicities are inherently more intelligent than others. It's a reasonable assumption that that is what you think.
Yes, the author treats high IQ as some extraordinarily rare unicorn event, when in fact you would expect to if find reliably if you look at enough people. e.g. "Your IQ isn't 160. No one's is."

They think Einsteins IQ was around 120, which they think is "Indeed very high!". An IQ of 120 is 10% of the general population. If you sort people, an IQ of 120 might be on the low end for some groups/teams.

If you put 1000 people in a room, you would expect to find 4 "geniuses" with IQ over 140.

They point to data that the average IQ in one Phd program had an average IQ of 140 "doesn't make sense".

In fact it is almost exactly what you would expect. 1% of americans get PhDs, 1% of americans have IQ over 135, so 140 is about what you would expect.

The way they approach IQ suggests they dont appreciate how a normal distribution works.

Very interesting read, didn't think the SD would be so high for offspring.

I always find it interesting when people attack the genetic aspect of IQ as nonexistent. Given the heritability of almost literally everything else in our body, why is it such a stretch that intelligence, the most complicated of all, is also heridible?

If that were the case, I'd love to know EXACTLY what Bill Gates's parents did growing up differently than mine. I read all the time, had a normal childhood, good food available, etc, yet am nowhere near his level of intelligence. Was it the cereal he ate? The weather? The arguments break down immediately when a simple (and proven) solution makes much more sense... it's his genes!
This is why I always opt for ZFS.
It would be amazing to me if it couldn't be summarized in a broadly useful way by a single number. That's not to say a single number captures every nuance of intelligence, but it seems weird to think that's it's not possible to make any blurring of that detail into a single number that has utility.
They have to call it success, otherwise it would be a useless study telling you that people with more money go to school for more years.

It's an interesting thought. Challenging because of the fixed costs though. The cost to produce one book would be almost identical to the cost to produce 1000 books; it is the infrastructure more than the marginal resource cost per book.
I think this is just the tip of the iceberg. Future generations not only won't learn write, they won't learn to read either. Writing is a technology that "freezes" language and inscribes it onto paper. That was important when you couldn't record speech directly, or broadcast it easily. But now you can just record a video or audio stream and put it on the internet, and that obviates the benefit of transcribing it.

Of course there are a lot of benefits of writing relative to audio/video. But are those benefits important compared to the enormous amount of effort that is required to learn to read and write?

I also don't think it's wise to demean the skill involved in generating good speeches/podcasts/talk shows compared to good writing. Language skills are language skills. The difference in ability of a strong speaker vs a weak one is dramatic and instantaneously obvious.

As the talent pool of good writers shrinks, the benefit of learning to read will shrink as well, leading to fewer readers. And then the incentive to become a good writer will diminish, since there are fewer readers who can consume your work. This will lead to a vicious cycle of reduction in literacy.
Heritability does not mean "genetically determined".
> R itself isn't a mess. Typical R code tends to be.

The same can be send about Perl - it is not hard to write readable code but there is code around which was written without regard to readability/maintainability or any consistency at all. Languages which are trying to force a single style (e. g. indentation as a part of the syntax like in Python or configurable format tool like 'go fmt') and have as little TMTOWTDI as possible are favored nowadays.

"davinci" is the original GPT-3 (175B) which had too many parameters per Chinchilla scaling law. And parameter count is strongly correlated with inference cost. GPT-3.5 is likely Chinchilla optimal and much smaller than davinci.

Though this theory has the defect that GPT-4 is, I think, more expensive than GPT-3, but as I recall it was considered unlikely that GPT-4 is larger than 175 billion parameters. Not sure.

This comes across exactly what the previous poster was saying as someone who turns their nose up to PHP. Especially the "you have to" gibe.

I could say the same thing about javascript from the early days, through Jquery, and beyond. Should I turn my nose up to modern javascript because of the past 2+ decades I've been working with it? No because they are "outdated reasons" as you say

> The effort required to make PHP work with you, in comparison to other languages, becomes too large and painful. I'm not talking about superficial things here, nor do I have the tendency to overengineer stuff, quite the contrary. I'm talking about writing simple, robust and efficient code.

My first question was "but why?" and apparently it has more applications than one would think at first, as it says in the article: edible batteries in toys for kids would eliminate toxicity risk and supporting electronics that go inside our body (they are working in edible transistors).

I also wanted to highlight this hilarious phrase in the article:

> While all of these components are nontoxic and edible, the researchers clarify that a user is not supposed to eat the battery on purpose, which would obviate the whole point of making it rechargeable.

"Please don't buy our batteries for eating, eat a banana or something"

I'd need to know the full distribution of MRP% for that. All I'm saying is that merit lines were not such that it was possible for the mean raise to be 1%. It requires way less data to see this.
So not too long ago I think I figured out why people read fiction. I couldn't understand it, why would you want to know stories that weren't true? I think it's all about the social intelligence. True stories are what they are whether they're good or not. Fiction stories can be whatever the author wants them to be, so they can craft them for maximum drama. Hence why they might be good for diving into social and emotional intelligence.

So if you read fiction stories to a child you might have a lot to work with to teach them how to read people and how to interpret their emotions.

Sarcastic critic of the following initial sentence:

> I fucking love writing. Most people I know also fucking love writing, and I do mean love.

Well, well, well. If it isn't the unabashed, unfiltered bard of the 21st century. Look at the sheer depth of passion here, folks! We've got 'fucking love' not once, but twice, because why not? Repetition is the spice of life, after all. And such eloquent use of the F-word, too. Truly, Shakespeare would be jealous.

Also, let's take a moment to appreciate the vague and incredibly relatable 'most people I know.' Because who doesn't know a handful of people who also 'fucking love' writing? Clearly, this is the universal experience we've all been waiting for.

And then, the pièce de résistance, 'and I do mean love.' As if the preceding profanity didn't quite hammer home the sentiment. Thanks for the clarification. We were worried you only 'kinda liked' writing. A masterpiece of modern literature, truly.

Great. Now show us what initial sentence you'd have used, same style. Just one brief impactful sentence with the same level of familiarity.

"Writing is my jam, and I swear, everybody I know is just as stoked about it – and I mean stoked."
