I get the point, but it's a bit pedantic. We don't preface every superlative with 'that we know of.' It's kinda implied.
so a rough summary is: don't singlemindedly follow one particular dream but explore multiple dreams and focus on those that work out.

i can support that. in pursuit of some dreams i had to give up others. some dreams i keep in mind, ready to pursue them if an opportunity opens up. but until then i focus on others that are actually reachable right now.

like when moving to china i stopped playing music (because i could not find people to play with, though later i actually did find some), but when i have to leave china, i can get back to playing music. that dream is not lost, it just took a back seat to other dreams. i have to choose which dreams are more important at the moment, but i don't have to completely give up a dream (i kept my music instruments and occasionally even practiced, so when the opportunity to play came, i was able to take it), nor do i force myself to follow a dream that seems impossible to reach at the expense of others that are in front of me.
PayPal isn't sanctioning any state, they do not have the power to do that. The comment I'm responding to is talking about sanctions.
Yes! I was thinking that as I read it. Alec Baldwin even says magneto hydrodynamic drive.

Yet another example of Tom Clancy’s incredible knowledge of the intricacies of what the military had on their radar and working that into great stories.
I have watched the movie dozens of times. I really need to read the book.
It would be nice if there were some "autonomous valet" system where cars could drive into a lot, get an electronic "ticket" at the gate, drive to the disembark location, then autopark in the location on the ticket.

valet banish, where nobody drives your car.
I use it pretty regularly for things like “write me a typed retry decorator in python, and write tests for it” or “parallelize this for loop using a ThreadPoolExecutor”
Tritium cannot bio-accumulate, because it is just hydrogen. In all chemical reactions tritium behaves identically with regular hydrogen.
I recall the mid-Obama years where I had a lot of acquaintances (now almost equally split between "left" and "right") who didn't see a lot of difference between Bush and Obama on a great many issues. They were sick of foreign wars, the military-security state, unfettered corporate abuses, and the elision of many issues that impacted Americans from any public discussion on either side of the aisle.

The prospect of a (Jeb) Bush vs. (Hillary) Clinton race seemed emblematic of a government that was a democracy in form, but not in practice. And then along came Trump who nicely put everyone I know (myself included) in either pro-Trump or anti-Trump camps.
Not that I’d ever like to see it, but I’m really curious what would happen in a conflict with China.

I’m half inclined to believe the US populace would revolt before any meaningful military confrontation because all their stuff is made in China.

No more toilet paper, no more TV, no more phone. No more… everything! Kind of wonder how much military components are sourced/built in China.
In Germany alone and for a period of time.

Tesla spends $0 on advertising with Google.
There is a French company called Flying Whales doing some pretty interesting stuff in Airships: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0hpcpnWAsQ
> I think the way the dialog is designed says enough. There's "Get Mozilla VPN" and "not now".

Wasn't there a campaign that "no means no", and explicitly not "no means keep asking until you get the answer you were hoping for out of fatigue"?

Oh right. #metoo
It definitely sounds impressive, yeah. Does anyone have data on products with similar growth trajectories? I'm thinking of Google, Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, and more faddy trends like Pokemon Go.

Unlike some of those, ChatGPT seems like it has real staying power. I'd love to see their retention numbers.
Ancient peoples would have sucked the marrow out of bones. I can imagine someone doing so and there is a crack or hole in the center of the bone they are holding. As they suck out the last remaining marrow and try to get more but all they do is pull air through the hole. A noise is heard and they realize they can make a sound.
> This represents Elon Musk, of all people, getting to attach a device to a human brain

People really need to stop it with this ridiculous notion that Elon Musk himself is the person doing these things. In the same way people criticize musk for Starship crashing, or the Cybertruck not reaching the market when they said it would.

Musk isn't the greatest of characters out there, but there are teams of exceptional engineers and business people who are at the helm of these things. And in the case of neural link, doctors, surgeons, etc. These are experts who have been hired to drive these projects, Musk just helps pay the bills to a greater or lesser extent.

It's such a shame that the blind hatred people seem to have for Musk tars all these other talented people with the same brush.
Right. You feed the text chunks (from the matched embeddings) to a generative LLM to do the extractive/summarization part.
I mean sure, or I can do a decent job myself ; are you asking to make a point, or a genuine request?
Do you know anything about Jeffrey Sachs who wrote this article? He is a famous economist and US diplomat who was there when the Soviet Union was breaking up. He saw the agreements and helped their transition.
I’ve heard similar things from the same individual about the progress of results. Indeed, they said the things I mentioned in my first comment a few months ago. Still, it sounds like a current problem is that it’s difficult to reliably get visually nearly-identical output with incremental changes. That’s one area where LLM prompt templating can be useful.

This lack of reliability is often mentioned about these generative technologies. It seems to me that “how do I get the same T-Rex with lasers shooting out of its eyes but different color lasers?” and “how do I get the same JSON structure in my output and always only the JSON with no other text?” are roughly similar problems in “prompt engineering”.
I didn't need to provide a phone number to OpenAI when I signed up for ChatGPT via OAuth with my Google account (which also has no device or phone number associated with it). But maybe I was just lucky enough to register before the requirement existed.

I did need to put some effort into configuring TOTP 2FA for the Google account without first giving Google a phone number, but I was able to do it by simulating a WebAuthn device with DevTools, which satisfied the pre-requisite of an existing hardware token or phone number method of 2FA that I needed to gain the ability to enable TOTP 2FA.
Yep. Specifically, the temporary containers keep me there for web dev stuff. People will always recommend profiles in chrome, but that can't replace a single hotkey to spawn a temporary throwaway container.
It's obvious though. Should they also note who it is that knows it to be the oldest, along with when and where they knew this? Just in case?

Did you get burned on an exam over this or something? It's silly to be so exact about this.

In NYC for stops of a few hours or less it would often be cheaper in gas $ to have the car keep driving, circling the local neighborhood, instead of paying for parking.
Keep listening but be ignorant is also a solution.
They call it that to placate the masses
That's no longer their goal, though. Their goal is to appear like they care about making a better browser, while actually doing whatever makes the executives the most money.
> Is there something specific about Tesla that needs something new?

Is this even a real question? The product acts on it's volition! Ofcourse it's different.

Imagine you buy a crate of crate of C4 - well, its super dangerous, but it does not have a mind of it's own. Untill you touch it, it stays put. So long as you store it properly, it doesnt go off. If you kill someone with it, you go to jail.

But with a car, it can suddenly decide to kill you because of bad code. It could allow someone else to take control and kill you. It could kill someome else and make it look like you committed murder.

The fact that it has a computer and follows someone else's orders is a foundamental difference.
Do you have a more credible citation? That guy on YouTube seems to be the most common source for this claim and he gets paid for clicks. More mainstream sources don’t seem to think Russia has any particular edge here.
I wonder if it sounds like whales humping or a seismic anomaly…
Imagine a world where oil is companies and car manufacturers teamed up to make incompatible gas station pumps, does that not sound completely ridiculous?
As a kid I did a thing with my fingers where I'd start with this simple pattern (mapped to some finger motions):

DOWN UP UP DOWN

This is the UP-pattern. The DOWN-pattern is UP DOWN DOWN UP.

Then I'd do it again, but replacing every DOWN with the DOWN-pattern and every UP with the UP-pattern.

Then I'd try to do it again for that pattern. I don't remember how deep I could get. It wasn't very far! But I loved doing it.

Decades later I met someone who had done the exact same thing as a kid, though he called it LEFT RIGHT and moved his tongue around to do it, rather than tapping it out with his fingers.

Technically I ALSO did it left to right, I just didn't think of it that way. For UP-pattern I'd tap, or really roll/drum, left-to-right, index-middle-ring-pinky. And DOWN-pattern was tapped right to left.
While we all communicate using TCP/IP, invented as a DARPA program for robust communication in the event of nuclear conflict...
For comparison ATT does it for $80/m (and they support IPv6). It's not really the price that's particularly special part of these services, it's getting the fiber made available in the area. 5 gbps symmetric is $185 which is quite competitive with those prices as well.

Though I'd pay an extra $20/month to just not have to deal with ATT anyways, all else being equal.
> What's the media bias of Reddit?

A couple of ways you could answer this:

1. Where does the Reddit user community lean, taken as a whole. That shouldn't be hard to compute or guesstimate.

2. Where do the owners of Reddit lean (as reflected by the subset of their policies which can reasonably dictate political leaning)?

3. Where do the most influential Reddit user accounts and communities lean?

Computing a media bias score for social media isn't that far fetched, even if the result may be fuzzier than, say, a journal with an editorial bent.
But but but cranes are safe. That crane that collapsed in lower Manhattan [1] had only 98 rubber hulls. All new cranes have 99 rubber hulls.

Haha, just kidding. We need to ban all cranes.

Zig-zagging burns energy. Staying in the atmosphere burns energy. Even without burning up energy on maneuvering missiles are mostly fuel--and the tyranny of the rocket equation applies. (Note that this is not a problem for terminal maneuvering--the missile can trade it's velocity for maneuvering at that point while only incurring the penalty of bringing along the control surfaces.)

A Russian victory in Ukraine being would be Pyrrhic. No matter what the PR on the war's eventual end is, Putin hollowed out Russia to fight this war. The negative impacts on Russia will last until the end of this century, and beyond.
So, I just manually checked via Algolia for total story mentions for all time as of this writing. Keep in mind that this is not front-page mentions necessarily, though it might be possible to crawl the "past" links to get those: <https://news.ycombinator.com/front>.

Maine (22,890) and Iowa (19,353) both beat out Colorado and California. Why the Maine love I've absolutely no idea.

"Washington" appears 22,246 times, though that's massively confounded by appearances of "Washington Post" (18,634). Adding "state" as a qualifier (e.g., "state of..." or "... state") reduces that to 461 instances. "Seattle" alone appears nearly 5,000 times which would be 9th overall (sorry, Florida). "Redmond" gives another 892 occurrences.

Colorado is actually 11th most frequently occurring state name.

If you include cities and toponyms from within California (SF, SJ, Los Angeles, SD, SV, Hollywood, Palo Alto, Menlo Park, Stanford, etc.), there are well north of 30k mentions of the state or regions within it.

The key element for both distributed storage and open source codebases appears to be refresh/review frequency.

Which is similar, but slightly different than popularity.

Essentially "With what frequency will someone put eyeballs on and attempt to use this thing"?

Below some critical threshold, integrity is compromised by freak events (hard drive crash, server goes down, host/maintainer decides to retire, etc.) and the material is corrupted/lost before it can be replicated.

E.g. re-hosting that thing that 10,000 people still have copies of, because they noticed it went down yesterday vs. that thing that disappeared a year ago and folks are just noticing
Is this some ‘most unreadable code’ competition or something?

Thank you for bringing a voice of reason to this discussion. Far too many pilloried the US over the decades for unjust wars. Perhaps there are some, like Vietnam, Iraq, etc, but a far worse outcome would be to have the global security situation be controlled by China and Russia. We know what happens when non-democratically elected leaders rise to global power and decide to exert their will, and it is not pretty (world wars, basically).

The US military industrial complex is incredibly complex and somewhat corrupt - it is a revolving door between industry and government, but the alternative is far worse and leads to genocide on a scale unimaginable since WW2.
These are two nations with H bombs and ICBMs. Lack of new iPhones would never even cross our minds. By the time the populace had formed an opinion it would likely be too late.

Gorbachev himself said that it never happened in that way.

This thread led to my discovering and switching to LibreWolf. Here's to a Firefox-ish browser that does better!
For a brief moment, that car becomes worth a lot more. But as other manufacturers put FSD-capable vehicles on the road, values might in fact fall as overall capacity skyrockets. What is certain is that the cost of a ride will drop.
But will it lead to more chargers with the tesla connector?
IME, only ones negative to the US get moderated away. Users are free to spray gun against other countries all they like, under the guise of "curious" discussion.
I keep hearing people say this, but what exactly do you mean?

In what significant ways could Firefox be improved, such that it would help most users, over Chrome?
From what I understand, part of the problem as well is that pilots cannot really see what's on the runway when they are landing, even in good conditions, because of the angle of the plane (usually pitched up during landing) and also because they are focused on instruments to be ready to execute a go-around.

Why can they not install cameras?
That's what they said at the start of the sequel.
Absolutely not. Advertisements are a malignant cancer of capitalism, and will show up anywhere they are allowed or encouraged. And in a short time, they will crowd out human voices to the fake voice of "buy this shit"... And soon, even those fake voices are crowded out by louder signs of "buy this shit".

There is no ethical advertisement. At the root of advertisements are intentional psychological engineering used to manipulate people.

It has a lot of fascinating properties that I think you'll be as delighted to learn about as I was.
Post-defeat Japan is an interesting beast.

Before attacking the US, they had Korea and Manchury invaded, and Russia in check. The extent of their dominance relative to their country size was really impressive, and they went for the US because they needed to feel unstoppable.

Then of coure, they were stopped. But none of the base roots of the war were removed, the emperor was allowed to stay, they made token trial of random generals who committed atrocities.

But no one was allowed to officialy question:

- the US carpet bombing entire Tokyo (for comparison we questionned Germany carpet bombing EU towns) and dropping the bombs on civilians

- the Japan's spiritual leader and basic phyolosophy. Really, imagine Hitler being excused as a mere puppet and staying as a philosophical leader after the war.

In that respect, The compromise the US took looks to me like the critical difference from Germany, where they could move on and jointly create the EU. Instead, Japan and Korea are still barking at each other over the war almost a century later.
I recognize and have been to some of these. Very impressive list overall.

The one thing I'd say surprises me, they include the SF cable car museum but not the NYC transit museum. Both are unique and niche in their own way, the cable car for its wholly mechanical implementation of modern rapid transit from a time before there was even electricity, the NYC transit museum for the fact that it is located in a disused subway station which is still directly connected to the system and the exhibit of historical train cars from the past 100+ years is a real, operational train that they sometimes take out on special excursion runs. For both museums there's something special about how these machines are being used the way they were meant to be used, with actual passengers riding them, in the process being kept alive as well as being preserved.
Same I have an old Suzuki and I wouldn't get rid of it for anything.

On the other hand, I think the whole concept of cars is the actual problem, especially heavier cars. The tire dust alone is enough to think about weening ourselves off the project. Then there is strip mining the earth for cobalt and all the other nasty shit in the devices, it's pretty bad.

Where I live e-bikes are really taking off, to me e-bikes and public transport seem like the ultimate way to go. It even looks futuristic. A little bit of exercise and movement, combined with fully autonomous, small electric trains would be the best of all worlds.
Do they let you plug your own router into their equipment though?

Their FTTN stuff definitely would only work with a router that somehow managed to break third party NAT, even in when running in its bypass mode.

Dang this is cool! I get why replit went so heavy on nix but I also feel like it must have a cost for them — nix is hard to learn, especially for folks new to development which I know makes up a lot of replits customer base.

We built a solution to the same problem with a similar approach[1], but that just snapshots any old files instead of doing nix derivations. Nix couples the build process to the content-addressability of the output, which works great if you want to put all the effort in to deterministic builds. We just read files like git does which works great for non-deterministic processes like npm install (tragically).

I like the idea of the Big Disk style of attaching a content addressable cache, but in our experiments we still found the network latency to the attached disk too high when reading file by file, like when booting a node app, so we’re caching a much smaller amount on a local SSD for each prod server. Maybe replit isn’t as sensitive to read perf from the cache layer, or they have fancy local per-node read through caching within the overlay setup? Regardless, cool!!
