The only downside of this script is that it changes commit hashes, so you actually can only blame someone else if you force-push or just showing blame on your computer. It would be nice if it could be done without changing the commit SHAs.
Uh, let's see what will happen to the most abused free fishing domain, .TK as operated also by freenom. I use that and I am a bit worried by the spammers. Though freenom recently got better killing those.

Humans see more than 8-bit RGB. Humans can see light polarization and stereo disparity, but more importantly we can interact with things we look at.

XYZ is the "most optimal" 3-channel colorspace but it's a simple transformation from RGB, so it doesn't matter - the model can learn it if it wants to.

He tries to revive the damn Tsarist Russia, totally opposite to the Communist values.

It can be remarkably hard to memorialise family and friends with a bench, anywhere you see them is flooded with requests and anywhere you don't see them it's often a policy decision.

They also incur maintenance burdens.

Park and garden staff can be very helpful finding locations. We've had suggestions made which went directly to need, over beauty. If the beautiful spot you want is taken do think about need: older people and mums with kids value park benches everywhere. (As do rough sleepers)

(Have been there, have park benches memorialising family arranged by others)
And thanks to this subthread, I am getting flashbacks of crimping things onto coaxial cable.

Well ... perhaps augmented by the fact that I was using a crimping tool yesterday. But that wasn't coaxial cable. (-:
> hink the Musk/Karpathy-style argument for vision-only self-driving is quite strong

> humans do driving with ~only vision -> roads are therefore universally designed and built to be driven via by vision -> computers should do driving with only vision

What is 'should', is it a moral imperative? Is it a social obligation? Who made this argument, a catholic priest?

Where is consideration of this argument from an engineering perspectove - analysis of advantages disadvantages, where consideration of cost benefit? Where is assesment that, for example, 50% of human crashes are due to poor visibility or spatial awareness and comparison of how well computer handles them?

If I posted this vacuous, unsupported argument here, I would be laughed at, and rightly so.

But if Elon announces something, there is always 10% of the population willing to defend it, no matter how dumb it is.
The liability problem is important here - when someone reverses over a toddler, someone gets sued. Or they lose their license. Or $CONSEQUENCE.

What's the consequence in an autonomous vehicle? Does only _that_ vehicle lose its license? Does every vehicle with that particular revision of the ML model? The whole fleet?

The next problem is, you're assuming that the autonomous vehicle is going to be _better_ than the human; it may have more information, may be faster in its response time, but maybe in a chaotic environment, that doesn't translate into drastically improved safety. Unless of course, _everything_ on the road is self-driving (meaning, zero pedestrians, zero other vehicles, no animals,...) which is going to run into chicken-egg...
Apple GPUs are also integrated. (But "unified memory" is a better technical distinction.)
Freenom sucks; sad they're gone, so many domains lost.

But just to be exhaustive, Freenom was not the only place one were able to register a .ga domain: I still use a .ga domain registered a few years ago at France-DNS -- which merged with / was acquired by NETIM recently.

Registering the domain through a "real registar" allowed me to get something more reliable (than a free domain on Freenom) as well as whois privacy.

The official Gabonese whois/registar website [1] seems to be down at the moment but never seemed very legit/pro to me... [2] & [3]

Just some feedback. Remember, I'm just one dude.. others may have other thoughts.

I don't know what itch.io is. Never heard of it, and I've been using Linux exclusively for 20+ years. Others may or may not know of itch.io.

I take it, that it helps you deploy like steam. Great! But from my side, I wasn't even remotely aware I was installing an 'itch.io' version of an app! Or what that means!

When I look at buying from a random website, from a company/person I've never heard of before, I like to know:

* What are the install requirements (eg, dependencies / packages / software required, to run this software) I think you added something here? Or did I miss it before?

* What I have to do to install and get up and running

There's no indication of any of this on this website. Not even a remote hint.

Even on the Windows side, it just says 'windows 10 or later'. Does it work on arm?

I really don't want to dampen your enthusiasm, I like that you did this. A lot. I hope you the best!
This article doesn't explain one interesting bit:

It is important that these crushed stones stay clean. If dirt gets in them, known as fouling, filling the gaps between the stones, then eventually it will cause a derailment.

Briefly, the stones move slightly as each train passes above them. The tracks 'float' on the denser stone. This effect helps keep the track straight and level - higher regions get pushed down, while lower regions raise themselves up.

Fouling stops this effect, and eventually the track will become so uneven that a derailment happens.

To prevent this, a big part of railway maintenance involves digging out all the stones, washing them to get rid of sand and soil, and putting them back. Usually done every 25 years or so.
But then the problem is not GPT/DumbAI, it is it's users.

Alternatively, what you have said is true of all tools: a hammer does not need to be conscious to be dangerous, it just needs to be put in the hands of bad actors; well yeah, that is true of everything all the time...
Also, is it essentially the same "driver" in all those Teslas? If one driver was responsible for 33 deaths over a couple of years, they'd have lost their license long ago!
They can do both. I am tired of humans downplaying other species for one reason or another. All you have to do is observe/interact with animals. We are not that different.

I am currently trying to befriend some large birds and man, it takes time.
The Romans were using crushed stone in (non-rail-) road construction more then two millennia ago, and it was an old technology then: https://acoup.blog/2023/06/02/collections-roman-roads/
Not a lawyer, but my understanding is that for anything posted to arxiv the original authors still hold the copyright - thus allowing them to publish a version in a peer-reviewed journal or conference. You would need to contact them.
I prefer it to the crystal/glass shard previous concept. The ability to customize the colours is appreciated because I can bypass my irrational hatred of the colour purple.

Yeah that is certainly possible. We could have ended up in a world where GitHub was actually MercurialHub and git probably would have remained the VCS of the kernel and probably many C and C++ projects as a result but much of FOSS (especially the new at the time JS movement) could have ended up on Mercurial instead.
The message means nothing though and is based on a poor understanding of how copyright works.

If it's allowed the message is irrelevant, and i it's not allow it's also irrelevant as it will be ignored and the video removed.
It is more powerful. Data is often meaningless without interpretation, missing many dimensions, easily and often manipulated, funded by unknown desires and forces, and generally unreliable. Outside of the hardest of sciences it’s worse than worthless.

Meanwhile a single sharp person who lives in a city and interacts with the right intersection of people will tell you closer to the truth than even the better quality studies or media outlets. To think otherwise is imo foolish.

I think the 'proper' approach is to use whatever is economically viable to get to the desired result as quickly as possible.

Ultimately the market will only ask two things: Does it work? And, how much does it cost?

No-one cares that "Ah but ours only uses vision".
As you seem to know well this thing, I'll ask you: they write type "ssh pi@raspberrypi.local" and voilà !", but I know that just enabling an IP stack over a USB link is not enough per se* normally, the device has to have a network configuration (IP address, netmask, gateway) which usually means DHCP. Moreover, how does the ssh client computer know that "raspberrypi.local" is this device?
That can't store power (which some renewables need) and they just said it's costly to repair those lines.

I think it's a matter of economics and if they can make money on it, which I'm going to to presume it is possible since people are doing this.
Honest question, genuinely curious, I'm not picking on you; what's the point of pasting a ChatGPT response to a question? I've seen colleagues do this on internal mailing lists, even some of my friends do this on our group chats.

I really don't get it. If I wanted the opinion of a language model, I'd ask a language model (and I do semi-frequently for certain questions). Getting ChatGPT output from an human rubs me the wrong way, like getting a LMGTFY link.

But I assume both in your case and my friend's that the intent isn't to be passive aggressive. Help me understand?
If you consider this article lengthy you should read a few books to recalibrate your attention span.

Interesting perspective. Why someone would downvote it is beyond me.
Whether it counts depends from whether it's just "deprecated" or whether the users have actually stopped using it.

Consider that the GNU version of "fgrep" was "deprecated" for just under 14 years. And yet people were very clearly still using it in 2022 (when the 2021 code change apparently hit Debian) and 2023 (when the change hit Chris Siebennmann).
Please don’t start posting LLM summaries. If anyone wants this summary they can query chatGPT themselves. It’s just noise.

Long cat is long.
And also build a product which is far more expensive than what Tesla does, when you compare features of their E-variants. It's all tradeoffs.
I know you might have done this for the first time, but there’s a response like this in every HN thread now. Please stop doing it.

It’s fine to discuss GPT in GPT threads (there’s no shortage of those). But this adds nothing to the discussion of the actual topic: The fact that it may or may not be hallucinated means that others would have to fact check the post, which means that in terms of net time, this adds negative value.

I’m not trying to be harsh, it’s not personally about you. I’m just hoping that a trend that significantly degrades the information value of HN doesn’t continue.
I've seen this ~10 times today - They are all phrased the same way too. This person seems like an actual person and not a bot, so IDK. It's really, really annoying. If we wanted to, we could ask chatgpt ourselves.
I can't pay for Crossover by credit card :) Don't know what payment processor they use but it failed twice for annual upgrades. Said card works fine on a lot of other places, big and small.

I could pay with PayPal though. Even though the same card is behind it.

What is the basis for this claim?
Have you seen the kind of data other sensors provide?

Radar gives you exact distance and velocity of a vehicle thats hundreds of meters away, through fog, in the dark.

Cameras can't even give you distance for objects that are too far away
If I had a fully functional self-driving car, I wouldn't be lamenting that it wasn't creative enough
Yep. Didn't do well in high school and grades never really were a motivating factor in my CS courses in Uni. I remember sitting there for hours staring off into space because I was presented with the task of writing java data structures by hand on an exam and just never completing it, largely because I couldn't get past the feeling it was pointless; I already proved I was more than capable of writing the code in the various assignments, but the overall grade was heavily biased toward 3 hour exams.

But at the same time I haven't exactly had much career success, and have been failing upward for 10 years easy. Have been fired or laid off from more jobs than most people have had.

Looking back, and maybe looking forward, I might try and become an electrician or something and try coding as a hobby.

There's something uniquely burnout inducing about the process of trying to find another job in tech.
I don't agree. Go search for HN threads relating to anything Sam Altman has said publicly, interviews he's given etc and you'll see that they always get posted multiple times on HN and the biggest thread always has 100s if not 1000s of comments.

This content was going to be wildly shared and discussed whether deleted or not, by deleting it they have at least a) made an official (yet soft, as it doesn't address any specific points) statement that it's not information they're trying to put out and b) probably reduced SEO / future views beyond these current discussions.

I can't see any argument for it getting more attention because of deletion than it would have got anyway?

Yeah, I understand... these type of loans exist in finance, they serve a very specific purpose.

The point is that, unlike consumer loans, such loans require that the borrower has savings before they can take the loan. For example, most people who take a mortgage do so because they don't want to save money for 30 years before they can buy a house. They want to buy a house now, and save later. A mortgage loan allows them to do precisely that.

These other loans don't, and so they're less useful. They aren't completely useless. It's just that in most circumstances they aren't useful.
If you run a high speed train over a ballasted track the under carriage aerodynamics suck the ballast up and they can hit the bogeys and axles and cause cracks in the train axle. If this happens in a bad way it can derail the train.

This abstract has a good summary https://research.birmingham.ac.uk/en/publications/a-full-sca...

So the question becomes can we replace ballast with some other mechanism where this doesn’t happen?
> would require every country to implement a very costly standard.

Thats what road are already. They are costly and they are mostly standard through out the world.
Yes. Anecdotally friends of ours took their dog on a long-haul flight which it found somewhat traumatic. That dog became very sensitive to signs that trips were being arranged/ planned
Please don't use GPT for Security Guidance
I did software development for a travel agency in the 1980s. That industry no longer exists today in anything resembling the form that it did then. Your anecdote is literally meaningless.
The low pressure air below passing trains travelling over 300km/h can cause "ballast lifting". i.e. Where ballast can be lifted up and become mobile causing safety issues, as well as accelerated deterioration of the track.

High-speed trains therefore use concrete track beds.

Reason for posting: I was surprised at how economical (in terms of words and, most importantly, reader time) GPT was compared to a human in answering the same question, without sacrificing accuracy.

Thanks for pointing out that it's distracting; I hadn't considered that before posting.
How devs can work with code that breaks at 80 characters in this day and age is beyond me.
One thing of note, OperaGX has an amazingly raucous/boisterous/riotous twitter account. (couldn't quite find the adjective I was looking for)
targeting a specific ethnic group would be extremely challenging. afaik, ethnicity is actually responsible for surprisingly little genetic variation. maybe you could e.g. come up with a spike protein that's 25% better at binding an ACE2 receptor variant that 80% of ethnic group X has vs. only 30% of ethnic group Y, but that's not going to make Y immune.
Sure, but if there is some kind of feedback loop in there it will mask out even the effects of time.

Some possible feedback loops:

Well known universities have more funds available and will be able to attract the best teachers away from the lesser universities.

Researchers may be willing to cite work from well known universities over similar work done at lesser universities.

The work done at other universities may be in a language that the researchers are not familiar with.

And so on. Quality in a vacuum is a very precise term but in the real world you'd have to discount for all of those factors.

In the tech world we have a similar example: Silicon Valley is 'where it happens' because it has a head start that is impossible to compete with which automatically attracts new talent and funding to a degree that it starves locations elsewhere resulting in an equality that dwarfs any qualitative effects that you may want to measure.
I assume they (and your co-worker) are just sharing something they thought was interesting and wanted to save people time from asking themselves. Like finding a source and pasting it even though everyone could google and find it themselves.
Given the continued prevalence of this kind of comment, I think people have missed the recent updates regarding supply chain slowly normalizing until the end of the year (you can now buy Zeros in packs of 10 at some UK a and EU retailers, at non-scalping prices).

Worse, I suspect this will become an urban legend of sorts even when there are no more shortages.

How is this trash upvoted here? I love HN because most people here are smart and open minded, but when it comes to the risk of AI it's crazy the amount of irrationality I see here.

For a start, dismissing someone as a "doomer" because they believe bad things could happen is just unproductive. I didn't see this behaviour so much in the past, but today I see it everywhere. Recently I've noticed a trend where whenever people raise concerns about issues like climate change or public debt there's always someone laughing dismissively, "haha, what a doomer. We've heard it all before bro!"

If you're someone who does this, please stop. Try being less intellectually arrogant and make actual counter arguments instead.

Secondly, whether you personally believe AI will be good or bad for humanity this notion that because something didn't happen in the past it won't happen in the future is obviously not a logically sound position to hold...

The field of AI prior to the ~2010s was in a very different place than it is today. For decades neural networks were extremely limited in their capabilities. What we've been able to do with deep neural networks over the several years has progressed rapidly and has finally allowed us to build useful commercial applications such as AI voice assistances, chat bots, and self driving vehicles.

It's an observable reality that things are different today. We're no longer in a time where AI systems might hypothetically do things humans once did – we're now starting to see this play out in real time, perhaps exponentially.

Some will argue this has always been the trend with technological progress. Notably the industrial revolution allowed us to replace many repetitive manual labour jobs with machines. But thankfully humans weren't great at lifting heavy objects and precise repetitive motion anyway. I think one could argue that the industrial revolution actually freed up humans to do what they excel at, thinking. I'd argue it wasn't the machines that drove the growth of the industrial revolution but a mass unshackling of human creativity that hadn't occurred since the development of agriculture.

That's why this time this could be different. Machines are stronger, faster and cheaper than human labourers. The only thing we have is our intelligence... Obviously we humans are extremely adaptable and dynamic, but not infinitely so.
We can and do for many new high-speed rail developments:
