> Whatever, man.

My guy, I have a perspective on life. There's stuff that I know, stuff that I've thought about, and stuff I don't know. The last of which outweighs the others.

> You can plug things into ABetterRoutePlanner.com yourself, and see that a common Tesla Model 3 could drive from Milwaukee to Seattle in 35 hours and 19 minutes. That includes only 5 hours and 3 minutes of charging, all at Superchargers along the highway.

I didn't know this! That's encouraging to know that we have the appropriate infrastructure to make this happen. I will actually consider a Tesla (or similar) as a possible vehicle just for this reason. I am still concerned about battery cell replacement costs as well as environmental impacts of lithium and other rare earth metals mining. There are other high capacity battery chemistries coming online -- I saw a sodium based battery article on HN just in the last two weeks -- that may make my environmental concerns less of an issue.

> you might appreciate that flying would also likely emit less CO2 than driving anyway.

Trees eat CO2. It's a common misconception that CO2 is somehow bad for the environment. When I say environmental impact, I'm not talking about climate change or CO2. Both of those take a back seat to the direct and immediate impacts of mining [0].

Anything that endangers mutually assured destruction does not make war less likely, but instead more likely. Also, militarizing space risks making Earths orbit unusable, since when you have a death laser satellite, that is a valid military target, and it's destruction might cause a chain reaction of debris hitting other satellites.
I did a similar thing with a cheap VPS and Wireguard. I don't trust Tailscale, and prefer controlling all aspects of my VPN. Right now I'm only using a single node, but it would be trivial to start another in a different region, and automate the whole thing.

Recently got inside the Concorde used for testing, now at Duxford. That plane is much cozier than I thought, even with no seats. And the number of fuses is slightly crazy.
Thank you.

I used 6 and that dropped the token time to 220ms.

For -ngl, I tried using 24, and then 30 and then 40, and never got to an out of memory error, and got exactly the same token timing, stuck at 220ms.

But, this is very helpful, thank you!
No, software can't be done, because the hardware platform it runs on continues to change.
I was sitting at JFK back in the day waiting for my flight back to London.

Over the speakers came an announcement: "if anyone is prepared to give up their seat on [my London flight] we'll fly them back tomorrow on Concorde and put them up in [a ritzy hotel] tonight".

I bolted for the service desk to take up the offer and got there in seconds but there were already several people ahead of me. Never got to fly Concorde.
Okay, but if we assume last week's small rise is attributable to the confirmation of the Neeva acquisition, that seems more like a "market reacted tepidly" to me.
Seems correct enough.

you absolutely can sing loudly in a theater, but you don't have a right to demand you can keep on doing it. It's a private location, so they have every right to throw you out and ban you. similarly to how you don't have a right to say whatever you want without being moderated on Twitter or Reddit.

Either one of those would be a notable accomplishment on its own for a medium size codebase. I don’t feel that there would be reason to believe that both of those would be true here.
Um wat
I would place my bets on:

CD-R because it is still around after more than two decades and the media is still in production, there are many drives and they are repairable.

My second choice would be DVD-R for similar reasons, but less history.

Third choice would be FAT formatted spinning disks used as write once. But they are much more susceptible to environmental flux.

Anything that is expensive or hard to come by or new, I would avoid…they’re almost certainly going to be a Zip drive equivalent in 20 years because there is no consumer demand for physical storage and less and less commercial demand because of the cloud.

But that’s me so YMMV. Good luck.
Do you have any examples of this? I've never come across any major capital project that wasn't designed for 85%+ uptime (and the downtime was simply for maintenance)

Day to day and month to month ups and downs don’t matter if your investment time horizon is long.

>I personally find factory animal farming to be the nearly the most repugnant, immoral thing that humans do.

I certainly agree with you there. It's good to find some common ground.

I think there are perfectly good reasons for you to hold moral views over my decisions. I do think that moralizing isn't effective, I just think that if we have a systemic problem, which I believe that GHG emissions is, than making it more painful to participate in that system is an effective way to stop people from accidentally participating.

The entire point of this discussion is that the convenience and affordability of suburbia and sprawl is part of it's proliferation, and systematization (similar to consuming factory-farmed foods). It sensible for us, if we care about these issues, to want to change the convenience and affordability itself because they create path dependencies.

You can very sensibly swap your automobiles' carbon footprint with a vegetarian lifestyle. The problem is that by being a stakeholder in the automobile-first system, it's important to be politically active in making that system less affordable and convenient to begin with. It's definitely possible to do, even with misaligned incentives (lord knows I've got some strange behaviors considering my views), but abstinence-only in a systemically broken system is merely a symbolic change.

Edit: my girlfriend (who happens to be vegetarian) said "I would like to know more" about your vegetarian dog food. If you have a website or anything about it I will pass it along.

Feeling the same.
If an email comes from someone you don’t know it created a kind of virtual contact which bubbles up to the top of the contact list.

If you click on the contact it shows a list of their emails. If you then click a button in the top email, that will give you a threaded email view which will show the whole mailing list activity chronologically.

I don’t use mailing lists much so there were probably better ways of doing it. But I actually thought unibox’s threaded view was really great.

That said, there are plenty of email clients that deal with mailing lists. What about one for me? :)

You say that as if the alternative to subsidised rentals is buying, but for most people these days the alternative is non subsidised apartments.

Yes (nearly) everyone would prefer to own their own home, but it's becoming more and more unaffordable and it's largely to do with rent seeking.
Yep, Spotify, even at its current pricing of $12 USD is so much more convenient than using torrent websites to download music that it's a no-brainer to purchase it.

Whereas even booting up Netflix, and trying to find something to watch in their limited catalogue (I am in Australia), is a lot more hassle than just typing what I want into a torrent site and downloading it.
Funny that you mention that because it took me over 25 years of variable sleep quality to realize that if I stop thinking for just a short moment, my brain starts hypnagogic_hallucinations.exe and that's usually the last thing I remember

Easy to learn, hard to master
I tend to agree. But I do think it’s a solvable problem by valuing, teaching, and prioritizing leadership skills. I think one of the problems in academia is that specialization requires people to forgo learning those traits, and they revert to what they’re comfortable evaluating (because it’s also what they specialize in)
I'm curious whether there's any difference if you try with a longer prompt or ask for a longer completion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35940365

You forgot about eggs and their heavy use in things such as baking. I suppose you can grow an egg in a lab but producing a fully fledged quasi-viable cell is more difficult than a hunk of muscle tissue.
> The breakthrough was going from "follow the recipe" to "understand how it works" (even if only on the very surface)

+1 to this.

I had the traditional learn-to-cook-from-mom/grandma experience. You help around the kitchen, ask how to make a thing, and get "Oh that? That one's easy, you just take a bit of this, a bit of that, simmer here, simmer there, add a dash of this other thing, wait for a while, and voila. Couldn't be simpler". Then you do it and it's like you made a completely different dish.

Repeat a few times and voila, you can make the thing. The thing barely has a name, let alone a recipe. Oral tradition passed down through generations.

You'll learn what it's called when you go abroad and wander into a restaurant based on your corner of the world. Oh _that_'s what I've been making this whole time! Yeah you forgot <secret ingredient>, restaurant, my mom makes it better.

Reading recipes for this sort of dish is always funny. It's like people don't even realize that half this stuff is based on "Whatever is easily available in the area during $season". Oh you're making risotto in summer? Sure! Use these spices. Oh it's winter? Use these other spices. Oh you're in Tuscany? Add this. Oh no it's France? Use these. But it's all the same underlying structure.

Author here. Happy to see this discussion. Absolutely, GPT-4 sometimes has trouble reasoning and doesn't reason perfectly. I'm impressed by its successes, but I agree it's not at the human level yet, and I would not make the claim that it is.

Counting is a task that transformers can do, per Weiss.[1] But it's not surprising that transformer networks in general have trouble counting characters -- the tokenizer replaces common sub-strings, so the number of characters will not in general be the number of tokens. The network might have little way of even knowing how many characters are in a given token if that information isn't encountered elsewhere in training.

competing with the asus ally is simple. It doesn't have enough battery life to play games at full resolution and high refresh rate without being plugged in, it isn't as efficient at lower power gaming as the existing steam deck, and it costs more than the steam deck. It's PR claims were a lot better than the benchmarks, and I don't really need a portable that requires being plugged in all the time to be effective - thats sort of missing the whole point.
Authoritative leaders inherently cannot be predictable because one person has a lot of power and can easily make sweeping changes.

Even though any organization led by a large committee is absolutely terrible at making long-term, coherent decisions, it also means that everything moves at a snail's place and any outsider can react faster than the committee can, and decisions also never stray too far from a certain point because there are too many cooks in the kitchen. America in a nutshell.

Plus the forever leader thing only happened ~10 years ago. That's too recent. I would only ever call a country politically stable if it hasn't changed in like 100 years. The US, for better and worse, politically has barely changed in 250 years. Sucks for Americans (but not entirely) but great for the world. When Xi declared himself forever leader, that basically reset the clock back to 0 years. Plus once Xi goes out of power, that basically resets the clock again because new leader, new policy.

At the end of the day, when you have a lot of something you want to keep safe (like your business), you want to put it with the person whose situation hasn't changed in the longest time. You don't even care necessarily whether that person is good. You just want that stability.

Altman’s push for regulatory capture makes so much sense given how fast this field is going. Open models you can run on regular hardware are still behind GPT-4 by some distance but they are closing in at a rate that leads me to believe there’s not much of a moat there.

There’s also a ton of promising work on quantization and pruning and other acceleration and compression techniques to make more powerful models run on smaller devices. So far the focus has been on just getting these things to work, not efficiency. There’s probably a lot of fruit to be picked here.

A few more years and a gaming PC may be at GPT-4 level or maybe even better.

No everyone won’t run their own models but it shows that there will end up being many commercial apps and services and they won’t all have to use OpenAI’s API. There’s going to be lots of competition. Unless of course it’s regulated away.

Hardware and system software. Blue Reflection is a game that really pushes the hardware to its limits; when there are heavy particle effects in the game, you can discern a steep drop in frame rate. This game was released March 2017.

There is also space limitations in play. A lot of assets are seemingly missing. In many cases, a character will have a dialog, but you do not hear their voice. I've never played this game elsewhere, so I don't know if this is correct, but it wouldn't surprise me, since the game is at most 2 GB on the Vita, and storing PCM audio is expensive. (I doubt AAC is used, despite hardware decoding available, because you will have to take into account encoder delay, remainder samples, and other annoying things in order to synchronize speech with character movement. Feel free to disprove me!).
Even if founders are wiped out, they are usually still paid as consultants (or employees) at the acquiring company to help facilitate the transition. Compensation for these arrangements are often (well) above market in order to incentivize the founder to stay long enough to facilitate the transition.

But yea, in general if a company is bought for less than they raised in VC, the returns usually aren’t huge.
That would work. They've been using the i prefix for a while though. I still have fond memories of the first time I saw an i8 in person. It really looked like something from the future.
You're getting quite close to the age that presbyopia is going to set in, which will make gaming in bed or any other near-vision activity significantly more difficult and even painful. Happens more when you're tired or in darker light, aka in bed.

You haven't felt it til now because the muscles in our eyes are strong enough in our teens to 30s, but know it's coming! I'm in my early 40s and it set in during covid, plus I got way more nearsided (-2) after having stable vision for 20 years. No way I'd game in bed now or put a device even somewhat close to my face.
