I don't think that is fully correct.

Yes he is a witness to the State of California's case. However, if he had to turn over documents per Amazon's request as part of the State of California's case, he would be entitled to request Amazon pay for the costs to produce those documents (usually something in response like my hourly rate is $100/hr and it will take me 20 hours to produce).

However, separately, Amazon has named him party to a lawsuit (what they are alleging is not disclosed), which allows Amazon to compel production of documents, and given he is a named party to the lawsuit, is fully responsible for the cost.
Are you willing to make existential bets that no one does and no one will?

Personally, I wouldn't even bet substantial money against it.
From what I read on the internets, housing is also absurdly expensive in London, Lisbon, NYC, Toronto, Vancouver, Shanghai etc. Adjusting for the local level of salaries of course. So not sure what your point is?

Yes, they benefit from people not knowing what ChatGPT can do and being curious enough to try it out. No, they don’t benefit from giving users bad answers, and it’s already the case that ChatGPT will sometimes refuse with an error message or warn when it can’t do something.

There’s no reason in principle they can’t do more RLHF training to report errors more often.
What is the worst thing that can happen if you stop responding?
Practically California should be helping him, because otherwise one of their supporting witnesses might get their testimony undermined.
Some of the rust political decisions are concerning though. I can see the companies giving that money switching to someone else to avoid that politics. Time will tell, first the replacement needs to stick around for a while and prove to be a viable fork, which is hard without the donations.
The problem is that it still needs a conversion to classical mail (just now on the server instead of client side) which comes with the problem of braking signing.

I'm not quite up to date wrt. JMAP but the last time I checked (quite a while ago) their approach to "fixing" that problem was security wise fundamentally broken.

Through then most mails are not signed anyway. So for many use-cases this isn't an issue.
The Power of Just Culture: Killing the Blame Game
Interesting ideas, I'm glad you had the extra coffee :-)

I wonder though if "A fly can anticipate" is accurate? As you question, does the fly run a simulation -- or more generally, does it have a mental model of the world. Given the size of fly brains, my guess would be no -- that it's more of a "when I see this, I do that" sort of a thing, honed by millions of generations of ancestors into an unthinking, but effective, state machine.

One thing I double-checked: our last common ancestor with insects is something like 500 million years ago -- much more recent than with octopuses. So even if there is some similarity with insects, that's no guarantee that it exists in octopuses as well. As an aside, it's weird to think that I have more in common with a fly than an octopus (genetically at least).
I agree that it's a great book; but I wouldn't recommend it as an entry point into understanding purely functional data structures.

Okasaki fleshes out a couple of examples and explains his thought processes and heuristics for developing such data structures quite well; but they're very much still notes on the early-stage exploration of the concept.

From a historical perspective it's still a fascinating read though and definitely recommend it if you want to read up on the origins of immutable data structures.

>> everything in a single file

A file is just an abstraction over a block device. HDF5 is a meta abstraction, storing multiple file abstractions within an existing container file abstraction. There is nothing conceptually wrong about this but incredible to me that anyone would have invested the time into creating an abstraction that looks exactly like its container just to avoid having to tar it.
In this post, Therapon and I dive into a bunch of temporal queries showcasing some really powerful concepts -- using multiple event streams in a single query, creating windows delimited by properties in the data, and performing temporal joins.
It’s a lot. “Extraordinary efforts” or something like that is the test before an undue burden is met.

But like all good legal answers, the specific answer is that “it depends.”
Just put the count on a hover tooltip - everyones happy, no size limitation, still serves as a deterrent (dubious as it may be to try incite suchlike on users who may have shelled out enough for a machine that can handle hundreds of tabs).
When I was growing up the concern was that fossil fuels were a limited resource that we are rapidly depleting. Now the concern is that they are far too abundant and cheap for our own good. Eventually the economics should force us to use renewables if the fossil fuels are a rapidly depleting limited resource, right?

I'm not going to play hypotheticals. You can imagine a possible worst case scenario for anything. Confront that problem if it occurs, but what if it doesn't occur? You seem to be arguing that someone shouldn't even bother trying to leave social media, because there's a small chance that something inconvenient might happen. It's fatalistic and defeatist.

"self-hosted compiler" in this case means moving all the non-LLVM code (which was previously in C++) to Zig itself.
Open source. I recently started getting back into submitting patches and hanging out on irc/matrix/discord.

I think a lot of the advice like "join the church" or "do an activity" are lost on chronically online people like myself.

For us, it should be "find an online community that makes you challenge yourself to improve", but it's hard to articulate that.
I usually use phones with stock or close to stock android, and the ringers and notifications using the same volume setting is a huge annoyance for me. My current phone is several versions behind though, so I'm hoping that's been fixed in newer releases.
No, some scientists discovered particulate pollution is associated with cooling and there was increasing particulates in the upper atmosphere from human activities, which is a well known effect today.

People took it wildly out of context, think day of tomorrow’s ice hurricanes vs the extremely mildly by comparison effect changing ocean circulation was actually predicted to have.
Seriously. That's their focus as their value tanks? Maps?
My bad, still new to this 'Show HN' thing. Forgot to show an image.

This boils me to no end. Google Maps estimates often make rideshare look like a timesaver compared to transit, but when you add five, ten, even fifteen minutes to the pickup estimate, it really changes things.

I agree completely. I was just speculating on why there is so much discussion about marketing ploys in this comment section.
> Personally I believe that GPT-4, and even GPT-3, are non-superintelligent AGI already, and as far as I know they haven't killed anyone at all.

They aren't agentic. There's little worry a non-agentic AI can kill people.

Agentic AI that controls systems obviously can kill people today.
they are running a doomsday cult to make them unclear.
I love JMAP. It's what allowed me and my team (at 1Password) to easily add support for Masked Emails, where we randomly generate your email address in addition to your password.

Our own Madeline Hanley wrote about that experience, if you'd like to see what it's like to work with JMAP: https://blog.1password.com/making-masked-email-with-jmap/
No, this is just bad UI. Most software is better at reporting errors or warnings when it can’t do something. You should be able to figure out what the software can do by trying it out.
This is reporting on an instance where a lawyer used ChatGPT to generate a legal brief (complete with made-up citations) that was actually submitted to the court, and now the opposing counsel, the judge, and the lawyer's client all have to deal with the repercussions.

It is not a "fake problem"; it is a problem that has cost at least thousands of dollars in damage in one instance that we know about.

You may be right, I don't know the people involved on a personal basis. Perhaps my problem is how much is left unsaid here (the broader safe.ai site doesn't help
much). For example, what does "mitigate" mean? The most prominent recent proposal for mitigation comes from Sam Altman's congressional testimony, and it's very self serving. In such a vacuum of information, it's easy to be cynical.
Yes. American health "care" is the best. Problem is with the "administration" that for basic stuff, there is crazy price gouging and no free market competition. It is ridiculous that you have to involve insurance in every visit to a doctor AND it's tied to your employer being able to provide something.
So let me get this straight. Molly White is the top source for tracking crypto scams and the sum total comes to...$12 billion.

Meanwhile, retail banks effectively steal $30B from poor consumers _every year_: https://breckyunits.com/the-great-bank-robbery.html

I do enjoy Molly's work and I would love it if we didn't hear about all the NFT grifters, but I see crypto as the best hope to offer the average person an honest banking experience, and I see the "scams" of retail banking to be 1-2 orders of magnitude larger.
Church. Volunteering (best results serving meals, less success with food pantries). Poker games.
My opinions on this as a rails dev

> You get a concurrent request processing spread across all of your cpu/vcpu cores out of the box

That's neat, but this doesn't matter until you reach serious scale, as scaling a rails app horizontally by throwing more server instances works for a long time

> The fallback controller pattern for error handling is incredible for boilerplate error handling

Sounds just like controller inheritance in rails

> Worst case latency is very stable

So is rails, worst case latency is generally caused by slow SQL requests or having to render complex documents (which can be offloaded to the background easily)

> The query builder/data mapper, Ecto, is IMO far better than ActiveRecor being more explicit and prevents N+1s out of the box

I don't have a problem with ActiveRecord, and while N+1s are easy to create, there are a ton of tools to help prevent these in rails. Can be a hinderance for junior devs or devs without rails experience though

Once things get complex, you're gonna be writing SQL directly anyway

> Eex is built on compile time linked lists

Cool but sounds irrelevant for 99.9% of cases, string interpolation isn't what causes rails apps to be slow
> ...there's an impulse to consult Bard on its origin precisely because of the lack of transparency from the real authority on the issue: Google. That we're tempted to probe the language model for substantive answers on matters of public interest merely underlines Google's failure to communicate them on their own.

> LLMs are incredibly powerful tools that could transform our lives for the better. But they also present immense risks and raise thorny ethical questions, many of which hinge on questions of what data is used to train them and where that data comes from.

Article's claim is that they're inhibiting it via their lack of transparency on training data
> They just finished the most powerful nuclear reactor in Europe, it alone will provide about 1/3 of the energy Finland needs, cheap and climate friendly.

OL3 does not provide anywhere near to 1/3 of Finnish needs. It's producing 1600 MW.

Finland's average production this year has been 9187 MWh/h, and average consumption 9435 MWh/h.

When I was subpoenaed in a case where I was working as an expert, "my side" paid for the time I spent responding to the subpoena. Seems to me that the author's complaint should be with the California AG, not worth Amazon's lawyers.
I’m sure we can start talking about AI regulation once the existential risks are already happening.

I, for one, will be saying “told you so”. That’s talking, right?
That amendment only applies to the federal, state, and subsidiary governments (with some exceptions for military personnel and other government employees).
so since he's an expert witness for CA AG, can he request any kind of financial help/reimbursement from them?
Sure, if you consider 18% and 20% as doing nothing.
This is a great reply! Makes me weirdly glad that I posted further mistakes about my earlier ones. :)
Isn’t the climate always changing?
The Algerian writer Kateb Yacine had interesting things to say about Camus [1]. As he says, it is true that in his novels, Algerians are almost non-existent, although the novels happen in colonial Algeria and he himself lived amongst them. Another brilliant Algerian writer, Mouloud Mammeri, had similar things to say about Camus [2]... These then colonized writers had different perspectives on Camus' outlook.

Do you think we could wipe out all furry mammals, for example? Could another intelligence have the same level of difference to us as in your story we to furry mammals? We don't even know if the mythical superintelligence could manifest the way you assume. It assumes that intelligence basically can overcome any obstacles - I'd say we actually see that seems not to be the case currently and claims that that is just a function of sufficient intelligence are unproven (setting aside physical limits to certain actions and results).
Ah! Thanks for the further correction!!

More of a Rust dabbler/observer at this point, but one thing I've never been a fan of is the actual name. It is neither pretentious or anti-pretentious.

The forker missed an opportunity to at least improve that, instead choosing a name that probably mostly subliminally enforces their dissatisfaction with Rust governance itself. Might as well have called it SheldonsSpot or OffMyLawn. I would have riffed the rust thing: Oxide or something similar.
True, but you still need to figure out who you will please. Many of their directions are concerning to a lot of people. Even if the majority agrees with the decisions (which isn't clear), they can still be unhappy with the way the decision was made/announced.
Is that real? Wow - I was thinking like $50k
I'm a Lutheran. We believe it's impossible to do enough good to reach God, so you'll never earn your way into heaven by being doing good deeds. Strangely, the church (ELCA) is one of the most active when it comes to actually doing good deeds.

Just curious - what does the word "subpoena" mean to you?
I could, but I don't want to look at work emails outside working hours.
There are lots of things people predicted, most of which did not come true (take a look at any future predicting writings, the serious ones: pop "explosion", starvation, social collapse, etc).

We can only act now on what we know today. We cannot act retroactively.

You can’t go around and say someone sometime somewhere said something and use that as evidence. Just as in law you can’t take a confession as sole proof of something. It has to be independently confirmed.

The title is as you quoted it, and no it's not in the slightest accurate. Amazon is not doing something because of a blog, as I told you: It's because California is calling him as a witness.

Implying the blog had anything to do with it is simply a lie.
It didn't really read that way to me, reads more that they're just reporting the facts they have. A Tesla car crashed into a building, caught fire, and the was put out. The root cause of the crash isn't known right now and will be the subject of the investigation.
You have three choices:
1) Deindustrialisation
2) Renewables with gas & coal and a high carbon footprint
3) Renewables and nuclear

Decentralization, flexible grid, local storage are as viable and realistic as “cold fusion” for Germany as of today. You underestimate the tremendous need for electricity the industry has.

So, realistically: either you chose global warming or nuclear power.
And here rests another piece of the legitimacy of our government.

From time to time you see the latest Corruption Perception Index scores come out [1] and the USA always ranks among the least corrupt countries.

That's due to the difficulties in defining corruption. Here in the USA I think there is very little illegal corruption that happens. Very few people avoid a speeding ticket by greasing the palm of a police officer.

Instead we have stuff like this, where a powerful family, aided by the most prestigious management consultants [2] kill and addict millions of citizens, but they took steps to ensure the law accommodated their evil, and protected them afterwards. It's not technically corruption because they worked within the system to pass their laws and peddle their dope.

So then it's not just local police, or a local government, or even one administration that people see is corrupt and working against us, but the entire system of government, 'by the people, for the people' has somehow been perverted, and turned into a sham.

And then these same villains see how the people have no mechanism to fight back, they see all we can do is roll over and take it, and it inspires them to think about what they can get away with next.

That's a bit harsh given all the problems SMTP and IMAP have. They are very dated and have some exotic "features". There is not a single mail client that gets everything right!
Peak oil was always a lie. As it gets more scarce, it gets more valuable, and innovations in extraction and processing are further incentivized to progress (see:fracking). It's just all living things on Earth that are the collateral damage (read:externalities) to that equation.

Yeah, back in the day fossil fuel emitted more sulphur, which cools the planet (temporarily), offsetting some of the warming. It also causes acid rai and other stuff, so sulphur emissions have gone down.
Back 50 years ago some scientists believe the sulphur cooling and smoke clouds would offset the greenhouse effect and lead to overall cooling, but this was always the minority view. We've since gotten way better models, and the warming has become much more obvious so it can be measured directly.
I am working on a GitHub pull request viewer that displays changes using a semantic diff, and therefore has some more advanced whitespace handling behavior than just ignoring leading or trailing whitespace. I tried it with this PR:

https://app.semanticdiff.com/django-money/django-money/pull/...

It doesn't make a huge difference, but it filters out changes like the added line break in "if value: value = str(value)" nicely. I haven't announced the project yet, but maybe someone will find it useful :-)
