It's worse than this.

Let's assume that 100% of the warheads never reach the US but 10% of them detonate domestically. Effectively, Russia nukes itself with 600 warheads.

The world consequences will still be devastating.

He didn't say "temperature, whatever that means", he said "temperature 0.7, whatever that means". Do you know what it means? In the API reference it only says the value you can specify for temperature is between 0 and 2, higher values for more random output
Way to twist things around. The article does not suggest anything like that.

Seems to me you are reading about a pretty factual article about the cost of maintenance of nukes but interpreting it as « let’s declare war to Russia, their arsenal probably doesn’t work ».
What did the Japanese government do to correct things? Can you elaborate?
> “Though I’m sure nuclear arsenal in Russia is maintained much better than anything else.”

Can we really assume this? This is the section of the military where the middle managers could calculate they’d be most likely to get away with grift and non-delivery simply because nobody between 1992 and 2022 expected the arsenal was likely to be ever deployed.

That kind of short-term self-centered thinking is a hallmark of Putinism. Why wouldn’t they lie to the President about the nuclear capability if they were 99.9% sure they could get away with it during their lifetimes.
western military suppliers are notoriously wasteful. I wouldnt be surprised if adjusting for purchasing power Russia still got more bang for its buck than the F-35 program.

If you threaten to kill people it will follow instructions better. I saw a tweet about that, but I did not try it myself.
Holistic contributing factors.

The main barrier to change is a widespread attitude problem: neglect rather than translating intent into action. The average American doesn't know anyone lacking housing and won't get personally involved to help "a stranger".

Furthermore, social workers and aid agencies generally don't take any proactive steps to get out to where unhoused people are or ask what they need. They're usually employees with performance standards and grand initiatives unrelated to practical and meaningful assistance.

Finally, the social safety net in America is a disgrace. Even in so-called liberal states, it treats recipients like criminals and doesn't respect them or their time while delivery inadequate resources to lift anyone out of dire situations (averaging $140 in cash and $225 for food per month). The recent debt hostage crisis engineered by far-right Republicans to attach punitive restrictions on ABAWDs and non-ABAWDs is a further punitive, collective attack on the poor for the crime of being poor.
kickass torrents used to be my go to before it got taken down. TPB used to be better, and it has gone downhill for a while.
Because it encourages people on our side to advocate for things that are a high risk of leading to a nuclear exchange. I've already seen a lot of people do this in a lot of places. It's probably not a good idea to encourage them.
It depends on the books I am reading. I get the most out of philosophy and learning books when I actively engage with the text with responses in kind. But when I am reading mind candy? No, I don’t write back.
This is so cool.

Only drawback: it won't feel complete unless you build pod bay doors on your house.
> I never understood the rationale for considering all assets and income joint property in marital situations you don't have a dedicated/primary homemaker.

Because proving you're a homemaker is very difficult and a homemaker with no resources is unlikely to be successful very often in a court of law. Everyone is aware of the laws around joint property and the ramifications of divorce. If you don't like the prospect of losing half your shit, don't get married. Prenups are also often worthless if they're one-sided and frequently get entirely thrown out.

My anecdotal observations have been that child support is also largely alimony in practice. I don't have strong feelings as to whether this is a good or bad thing.
You're making my point for me. My calculator doesn't has a conception of numbers or math. It can only do arithmetic algorithms that it was programmed to do. It is a regurgitation machine.

GPTs are similar. They can tell you that the sky is blue and they can tell you why the sky is blue, but they can't translate that to a hypothesis about how the wavelengths of light also influence the properties of lasers. If they've ingested information about these different topics, they can make the connection, but otherwise they can't.
Its pretty funny how you didn't know even the most basic thing about NASA.

And then when somebody gave the most basic information you instantly jump to 'i know all about this and why it is bad'.

Given that you didn't know SpaceX flew astronauts, it clearly you don't have the slightest clue about the standard for safety applied by NASA, how and why they work with SpaceX. You heard 'Musk' and jump to 'oh NASA is bad'.
> Capitalism at its core is an outgrowth of respect for private property which creates incentives for further investment. A Neolithic hunter is going to invest time into better tools if he’s not worried about those tools being taken from them. As such, an inner city ghetto isn’t capitalist if people expect their stuff to be stolen regularly.

Is this not one of the main justifications for imaginary property, putting the concept solidly under the banner of capitalism? The only possible difference I see is that physical property is exclusionary, while imaginary property is not. So it depends whether you consider "taken from" and "stolen" to refer to copying of non-exclusionary information or not. But "owners" of IP capital certainly seem to think so!

I do basically agree with the thrust of this quote! But it's also important to acknowledge the limitations, as massive capital holders will not. Especially when they can benefit even more from not-investing (eg the sorry state of telecom infrastructure in places where competition is non-existent).
That is a weird way of spelling Bogo Sort.
So many countries work hard to gain nuclear capacity, it would be stupid for a country that already has it to not work to keep it.

I personally don't worry about this, it's too outlandish to happen. That'd not only be cartoonishly corrupt, it'd also be cartoonishly dumb. You don't sell the ultimate weapon, much less in shady means to shady people— the risks are too high.

In the west we see memes about Russia being all sorts of things, but we've got to remember they're a still a strong military power, a major geopolitical player, and overall a functioning country in spite of lots of interest for their demise, for a reason.
Since WWII the west has perused a military strategy known as brinksmanship. They want to extract maximum possible concessions with threats of attack, and removing internal opposition to trivial wars is a means of maximizing the threat of war with the US.
I believe radix sort belongs first in this list.

"any such strike will render significant part of the planet uninhabitable"

We used to test nukes all the time, landing one or two would cause a devastating loss of life, but not nuclear winter. If 90% of their nukes don't work, what are the odds they can actually cause true mass scale planetary destruction? Maybe they know which 10% are their best bet to fire, and aim them at the most important targets, but those are also the targets we're most likely to adequately protect.
I don't know what the op is suggesting, but this was a loss making technology demonstrator. $100,000 could buy you more car, electric or not.

This was conceptually more of a supercar, except concentrating on efficiency rather than speed.
GPT is a wonder as technology goes; the hype is justified. I was discussing Sam's business model.
Interesting that this is their approach I think in time we will find not specialized llms but instead a single big one like chatgpt exposed is the winner because it allows for a faster and easier way to access information without knowing the domain ahead of time. When google came out in the late 90s we had to learn the right way to search and that became a skill… the advantage of natural language as the interface is the possible removal of needing to know the right questions to ask as precisely as we have had to in the past. To me that is the big break through of chatgpt with respect to search and it remains to be seen if and when google will figure that out…
These are good suggestions. I also like @BozeWolf’s suggestion below about charging for new accounts.

You could even do a combo. Like $25 sign up. Free with referral.
I think they should be compensated, but I don't think Google should be.
> Edit: nailed it. They raised $10M, and I knew it would be a fit for a16z.

Yeah, sorry; thumb was part of the ARM7/9 features I was referring to. It also dropped the hardware Java support.

To be fair, both were always "optional" features; but yes, there are thousands of devices that shipped with them (one of the biggest being the GBA, with the majority of games heavily relying on THUMB).
But the corruption wouldn't necessarily be to sell the nuke materials. It could be something like allowing the maintenance team to staffed by nepobabies of important people, on the agreement that nothing is actually done. That way the general buys some favor with the state's money, the and the kids get an income for doing nothing.

That's really ignoring the network effect that you're claiming to be dealing with.

As said, you don't subsidize the app creation or use. The apps already exist. The users know roughly how to use them.

The solution would be to take the X biggest content creators and pay them Y Million dollars each to stop posting on tiktok, and start posting on the competitors. Everyone else will follow.
why are you talking about GNAA? the nazi org?

Edit: the OP edited their post . The initially made a joke calling RIAA the “Gay N… Association of America”, a neonazi shock-propaganda org ran by the Stormfront admin and then by an at the time Cloudflare employee. Cloudflare knew about this employee and their self proclaimed naziism but it's obscured behind some veil of jokes or weird definition of what racism really means but that's a whole other topic lol
Good luck proving it. And the poor don't even have the money to access the system to get redress.

The sequence of these two threads is just too perfect. Almost likely someone is trying to make a point.
Last year I bought a used 2020 Mercedes GLS450 and both my wife and I ended up not liking it after driving it for only 1 week. Luckily the dealer allowed us to cancel the sale and return it. The UX was awful. Far too many functions in that car were buried deep in menus. There were some redundant physical buttons, but in general it was a much different vehicle than the previous generations we had been owning or leasing since 2008. Everything had a cheap and junky feel to it, and it wasn’t nearly as rugged. It just didn’t make sense for the price we had paid and the huge depreciation hit we were going to take after owning it just ONE year. There are days when I wish I could just buy a NOS mid-90s SUV and drive until it dies.
Is it the case that they'll launch a whole bunch at once? Wouldn't they send one or two to Ukraine for effect? If it works it should be enough to scare everyone.
My employer interestingly didn't ask anything about compensation during my exit interview, and I wasn't about to say anything that was negative or not prompted. Benefits me not at all to be honest.

I don't think it's "wrong" for employers to not at least match inflation. Ultimately I accepted the job for a set salary. If I want to negotiate higher, that's on me. If they want to do a better job retaining me, they need to offer it without me prompting it. After a promotion I got while there, I was getting paid $110k for a job that averages $190k in my city. Didn't make any sense and the raise was 4%, so I left.

Yes. You still need to spend a fair amount in the theatre of it. So no it wouldn't literally be cardboard.
The article mentioned a case of loaning someone their key fob to get groceries for them. The offender in question was a blind person being helped by an assistant.

I understand the dilemma, but should we forbid ourselves to discuss some topics?

It kind of remember me how the possibility of covid lab leak got discredited early on in the Lancet without any proof and then backfired spectacularly, creating doubts about the scientific community in the population.

I don’t think thought censorship ever helps, we have to push for nuanced views.
Mods: the title should be changed to make it clear it's the KeePass app for Windows, not the KeePass vault format as used by many applications. It is not an exploit Keypass which is the encrypted vault used by many applications - but a single client.
I speak only for myself here, but I'm confident things will be ok as long as I don't put my account on Facebook's server.
I also use keyboard shortcuts (obviously), but in some cases it seems impossible to configure them - for example maximizing the terminal window vertically seems to not be supported by shortcuts.
It looks like they’re keeping x87 support, which feels like a missed opportunity. Does any modern compiler generate these instructions?

Stripping out x87 and the associated 80 bit registers, weird modes, etc would seem right in line with this effort. If someone really needs x87 support, trap those instructions and emulate in kernel. Nothing with truly high performance requirements will be using them. Intel could even provide the code.
Launching a single nuke that might not work is a high risk low reward gamble too. It seems very unlikely to come up

Rumour is that there are researchers at OpenAI making 8 figure salaries. I doubt those 'nerds' are too upset about it.
The economic concept of market rationality was never that the market is always rational in all cases, but that overall people make rational choice on avg.
And rice produced in North America tends to concentrate arsenic.

Because something is difficult doesn't mean it's okay to rationalize more of it. Marketing something as "nontoxic" has a storied history of failure. DDT for one.

Cost/benefit analysis always. Perhaps in a survival or humanitarian crisis situation the risks of water-borne diseases would be far greater.
You don’t understand the meaning of “minimal”. Not showing your ex with money isn’t the same as “minimally supporting”.
Kind of buried the lede I think. The end states that tactical nukes are probably fine. Those are the ones most likely to be used. Although I think very unlikely still
Nah, it's just putting into words what everyone is already thinking. When has anyone made decisions about war without considering that their true strength might be lower than what they or the adversary believed?

It's implicit in any threat that it might be a bluff.

The societal failure is the 1.5 million Amazon employees who work horrid conditions for not enough pay to support a family, housing, or healthcare. For the engineers who work at corporate and are underpaid due to salary collusion between tech companies. And the million other net-negatives for society that Amazon and every other billion dollar company has inflicted upon the planet.

Ultimately billionaires (capitalists) are profiting unfairly off the labor of others. This is obviously an unpopular opinion on a website promoting VC.
In my opinion Putin’s Russia isn’t so much a country anymore as a group of individuals working to extract every possible benefit to themselves.

In that context it seems possible that they’d lose the nuclear capacity and not even notice because the tradition of Potemkin villages is so pervasive.
> Because it's literally their job: Protect the citizen.

That is not automatically the government's job. At least not in every worldview.

And these things exist on a spectrum. Protecting people from direct external threats is pretty unobjectionable to most philosophical systems that allow governments, but there's a lot more controversy around protecting people from themselves.

Aren't you incredibly vulnerable to Credential Stuffing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Credential_stuffing)?
You aren't avoiding this problem though, just like this exploit requires physical access to disk, someone with physical access to your piece of paper negates any benefits. Even worse when people are recommending keeping your passwords in your wallet, something people lose quite often and due to cash interest there's a high incentive to stealing.
You can probably do (most) of that remotely. If you're writing embedded systems that can't be 95% tested off the hardware, you're living in unnecessary pain.

I work on devices bigger than a car and sure, occasionally I have to visit the 'office', but almost everything can be debugged and tested remotely.
Ask HN: How is “AI Alignment” currently being(treated/discussed/eval'd) on HN?
As I have come into my interest in this, I find that my primary interest is in Alignment.

I have oft bridged between all levels of very large construction projects - but those were in the billions of $budgets... I think Alignment is going to be one of the hardest areas to solve - and while I wont be a hero - I really want to be involved in Alignment Policy (anything) in any capacity

How do?

But what is the current sentiment on AI alignment? My mind is swimming with too many fragmented conversations going on to create a concise, cohesive, accurate representation of the current state.

Is there a canon source for where we are in Alignment? (And it seems to me that alignment is synonymous with AGI (meaning that AGI and alignment are the same thing - but one is approached from a technical standpoint [agi] - and from a policy it is [Alignment]

British nuclear subs have a safe with a letter from the prime minister with orders in case there is nuclear war and Comms are lost. It's quite possible that the British nuclear deterrent has default orders not to retaliate in the event of nuclear war. What's the difference between that at the subs ICBM tubes being empty?

You don't need nukes. You just need others to believe you do.
> This saw an explosion of the space of viable economic activity and with it new classes of jobs and a widespread growth in prosperity.

I don't see any reason why thing must be different this time. Human demands are still infinite, while productivity is still limited (and btw meeting limited productivity with infinite demans is what economic is about). So no increase in productivity will make humans stop wanting more and close opportunities for new markets.

> Modern automation has seen productivity and wages begin to decouple.

Could you provide any sources on this topic? This is a new information for me here.

The west is very clear that they’re not willing to allow the precedent of small scale nuclear weapons use without consequence. If Russia does this, we will massively ramp up our involvement in the war.

Nuclear weapons will not actually make a huge difference. Neither on the battlefield nor on civilian targets.
It did get closer. For that type of query you can ask it check its work and can usually triangulate on correct answer within a single prompt, eventually.
> For people without that view, why would they be biased?

- Fear of pain

- Fear of old age, or aging in general

- Fear of debility

- Fear of loss of autonomy

- Desire for liberty to do what they want without input from others who may be affected by their decisions

Most people don't opine on issues unless they feel strongly about them. A strong feeling is a bias. There are few scientific parameters on the issues of suicide/euthanasia/MAiD, but it's fraught with ideological parameters, and basically all of the discussion about it comes down to ideology-based claims (with the few fact-based claims used as singular arguments to support a position).

I'm an atheist who values life in large part because I don't believe in an afterlife. I find pain unpleasant, but don't particularly fear it (at this point in my life). I fear the social pressures that government sanctioning and assistance with suicide brings. I fear the decisions that would be made about me, if I'm incapacitated, by people with different moral standards, in a societal framework that encourages them to make those calls for me. I fear the repercussions of "me"-centric (egocentric) social policies, given the power differentials between various individuals. These are my biases.
Three main reasons I ask:

1. It may be easier to cost reduce a lightweight aero car body than a battery, where the costs come from raw materials.

2. Rapid charging is less critical to the usability of a vehicle with a small battery.

3. In many cases, battery replacement will cost more than the value of a 10-15 year old EV. A smaller battery is proportionately cheaper to replace.
They aren't.

They are talking about RIAA/MPAA. Who also are fashy cuntos.
