You're making a lot of baseless claims here. Care to base some of them?
> They could have easily spouted nonsense instead.

Is that not what they did? We've known Satoshi's key is compromised since Craig Wright tried to claim ownership years ago. The other comment is right: move the genesis block or GTFO.
The difference in bandwidth between M2 Max and data centers GPUs isn't that much (less than a factor of 5). The difference in compute is much, much larger. If you only have fast GEMV kernels, and not fast GEMM kernels, you're basically locked into an inference engine that can only run GPT-style transformers efficiently. However, it can *technically* support all the models, but at what ALU utilization?
“allows real costs to be ignored” Economists call these negative externalities.

There are a handful of movies that involve the biggest tort litigations in the US: Erin Brockovich, Dark Water, A Civil Affair, the Rainmaker. It’s not clear that most of these businesses would exist if the actual cost of negative externalities was displayed on the accounting ledger with a dollar value.
> If you include the costs of pollution and climate change, I'm sure the "total value" of the extracted oil is well in the negative.

This is absolutely not true. Oil and gas has lifted billions out of poverty and increased everyone’s quality of life hugely. Especially in “third world” countries where there are no affordable alternative energy sources.
I'm pretty sure their argument is "this will be cheaper, and therefore more profitable."
“You can ask ChatGPT to evade AI detectors. GPTZero says 0%.”
> Do you argue that citizens/people should not be bothered to know the law?

we're talking about global multinational corporations like Paypal, not individual citizens, who absolutely don't and should not be expected to know banking laws and regulations so would not know that "by the way, Paypal is not FDIC guaranteed and your money can go poof at any time". it's irresponsible to let a vastly profitable enterprise like Paypal take advantage of vulnerable people in this way (holding onto their money without all the inconvenience of making sure their holdings are insured). turning the discussion onto "what should be expected of individual citizens" is an attempt to change the subject.
We can compare against another mode of human-controlled transportation. There are 1.37 deaths per 100 million passenger-miles driving in the US [1]. In comparison, there are ~0.2 deaths per 10 billion passenger-miles flying. Converting into the same units, there are 137 deaths per 10 billion passenger-miles driving. So you are 685X more likely to die while driving/riding in a car than flying. That's almost three orders of magnitude worse! Humans are pretty terrible drivers in comparison to how good we are at flying.

So hours are long, and the number of Drs in the market are increasing. Are the number of patients increasing, or the time consumed by each increasing, or unemployment among Drs increasing?
Yeah sorry, my wry humor. I am certain what you write would be more interesting and valuable than the content of my very low effort link.
My dad went through this shit at the end of his working life. Physician in the plant, guy had been kicked out of his family practice (his father started the place!) because he was a liability. His go to answer to these guys on the factory floor was, "You're not getting any younger!" He misdiagnosed his wife's breath cancer. All sorts of horrific stuff, considering he was a GP for 40+ years.

Fact-checking the Babylon Bee was pure seppuku.
There are like thousands of times as many front line employees as executives. Whether or not it’s right for executives to make so much, it’s easy to see why a business would be much more worried about cost increases for a role with much higher scale.
US and China are not exactly on the friendliest of terms. Why give this to China too?
Maybe, but that’s easier to do when winning/losing is binary and possibilities are more bounded within the rigidly defined rules and spaces of a chess match.
That's called a socialist dystopia.
Humans also don’t have 8 eyes facing every direction at all times. They also get drunk/tired/impatient/angry etc. The reality is the entire argument is silly. Both are very different and Musk/Karpathy argument is misrepresented here. Saying humans only use vision was a response to “its not possible with only vision” not a statement that human vision is good enough and no need to do better. The 8 camera surround is leaps better than human vision. Where they lack is processing the signal. Human brain does that better. But if you have better inputs (we do already) and you believe you can one day match on the processing part, you’ll one day get a much better result. One thats suited to the vision based roads we have now and scales to literally anywhere not geo constrained like Waymo
GLONASS also depends on leap seconds, which is why Russia is opposed to eliminating them by 2035.
Xrai App: turns speech into subtitles, in real-time
Yeah human eyes cover a huge dynamic range compared to traditional cameras that have all sorts of issues with either too little or too much light (blooming, lens flares). Are a Tesla's cameras of the same quality of the human eye? Can they see in the dark just as well?
This is such a inane semantic quibble. I was saying that Tesla must be able to prove (i.e. in the legal sense of meeting a standard of evidence) to a third party (i.e. a unaffiliated entity who does not have a conflict of interest, probably a regulatory agency or certification body), in a way that is verifiable by the third party (i.e. they do not require information from Tesla or they do use information from Tesla that can be reasonably believed to be accurate despite the conflict of interest), that it is safe (i.e. it meets a standard of safety generally agreed upon as acceptable for the problem domain). So yes, I was talking about safety certification.

Perhaps that it’s news?

“Atomic Wallet has been apparently exploited, with users on Twitter reporting complete losses of their crypto portfolios.”
I don't know those labs get up to, but given that institutes of virology aren't exactly thick on the ground, I think it's pretty plausible that it was a lab leak.

And if it was a lab leak, then what was being researched? If it was benign, there would be published explanations.

And if you wanted a bioweapon that you could use with genome targeting, you'd want something exactly like COVID (re: how is mostly benign among bats). You'd want it to sleep until it found its target.

It's a pretty fantastical conclusion to reach, but it's about as hard to believe as the alternatives, at least until there's evidence backing them. I'm not ruling it out until they figure out which ecosystem change lead to the transmission event (e.g. perhaps a hawk that keeps horseshoe bat populations in check went extinct and the virology lab thing is truly a coincidence).

So my point was that it's a good choice for that kind of research. It's already weaponized, one needs only figure out how to target it.
The argument is more complicated than Elon makes it out to be. "Humans can drive with vision alone => computers can drive with vision alone" implies computers can do anything the human brain can do. It's not a given, and it's certainly not true for the compute power in a Tesla. It's completely possible that all of the following are true:

* Humans can drive with vision alone

* A sufficiently advanced compute system can drive with cameras alone

* Telsa's FSD computer cannot match human performance without additional sensors
That's because reddit killed all those places, the old forum sites.
The CEO is a huge scammer and at least one audit said atomic wallet was very insecure.
The benefits I keep hearing about in podcasts are physiological and building mental resilience, which does make a lot of sense on paper. I was curious if average HNers have had positive results putting it in practice.

From what I've seen from 3rd party devs, Reddit's nee ToS prohibits 3rd party apps from displaying apps.

Reddit is also restricting NSFW content from the API. It isn't clear how much content that will remove from apps, but it could be substantial.

Both of these together poke some holes in Reddit's claim these changes are just about recovering costs.
They have their issues from time to time: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5158216/

Well generally business success comes with higher taxes, so you don’t really get all of the upside. Whether those taxes are used for anything sensible is a different matter…

Many gems to be found on the Amiga. Including some games that would be a hit even today if polished up a bit and rereleased on modern platforms.
Nah. Maybe sometimes I lean forward and back a little to judge something, but people with binocular vision do that too.

Most of our depth perception isn't from stereopsis or other binocular cues.
TBH having live real time position error transmitted to live in motion "local area" moving bodies (drones | aircraft | vehicles | missiles) is useful for live dynamic tasks (shooting the enemy) .. but not especially useful for surveying per se.

I spent decades in high precision geophysical surveying using ground stations (fixed GPS recievers) and craft (aircraft | helicopters | etc) and it was common practice to collect data and post process ... merge airframe GPS data and ground station corrections in conjunction with other numerical corrections .. at the end of day.

For various forms of survey you really want to not transmit to|from your airframer "live" in any case - for EM | magnetic survey that's just another source of noise best dealt with by having everything not required switch off.

I concede the value for regular ground site survey tasks .. there's no downside to transmitting and applying corrections in real time - but it's not strictly required and for some forms of surveying it's preferable to record raw unaltered data and apply fixes later with the option of rolling back | examining the raw | etc.
Moreover, and crucially, they are learned.

The amount of engineering, testing, rigor, and so on for a rover on Mars is stunning. And they are working with much more constrained environments without human actors.

Society won’t accept robots that kill people. You can bring out statistics until you are blue in the face, but a major reason car accidents are tolerated is that a person can be convicted if they break the law. A faceless AI that hides behind insurance won’t cut it.

Enthusiasts of self-driving cars can be hyper-logical about statistics, safety analyses, etc. while simultaneously ignoring all the other areas of political life that are based on emotion rather than rational logic. If we can’t convince huge fractions of society about basic truths - pick whatever truths you are passionate about that half the country disbelieves - why do you think society will accept robot cars that cause accidents (even 1)? It’s not going to happen.
I feel that the "pro-"extractive industry side of things has so much obvious monetary incentive behind it that it isn't really necessary to worry about independent reporters not adequately presenting it.
I used to use telnet for this. Until,for compliance reasons, telnet was no longer allowed to be installed on many of the machines I work with. Now I use nc instead.

I have a pair of 35 year old Mission speakers constructed using rubber and so far there's no evidence of degradation and they still sound great.

I imagine if this was a tyre then it wouldn't fare so well because the rubber compound is for a completely different use and also exposed to adversities such as wide temperature differences and all sorts of kinetics that a speaker will never experience (hopefully).
I mean that's just plain false. Think of how much time any one meaty investigative report takes; nobody has the time or resources to then turn around and carefully make sure they do some sort of counterbalancing expose that's somehow pro-industry (and what's the point of an expose? They employ many PR people for that purpose anyway).
Look out your window and imagine what we could do with all the street space that's dedicated to parking.

Biggest benefit is that most people will stop owning cars.
If you actually try FSD beta you'll very quickly realize that the vast majority (over 95% probably) of disengagements are because the planner is dumb, not because of vision. In other words, on the screen it sees everything correctly, it just decides to do something dumb.

So currently the vision stack is not greatly holding them back.

as a percentage of accidents, i would imagine autodriving cars are less than human driven cars.

It's still flawed atm, but surely it will continue to improve. Not to mention that the average human is already terrible a driver, and replacing them with autodriving surely nets more benefits than the flaws of autodriving - if not at this moment, then very soon in the future.
This is 100% obvious and inevitable.

I can't imagine what these cars will look like late on a Saturday night once this is normal.

Then imagine what they look like after a few years of this. They will be as clean as the local pay by the hour motel.
Is randomness an agenda? I'm reminded of the time I ordered nothing at a restaurant and the bought back an empty plate.
> You’re not engaged in journalism if you only investigate and present a narrative which aligns with your policy preferences.

where did you hear this silly rule? It sounds like something a child would make up when they don't want to hear something

>they don’t overtly lie or fabricate data to support their case... that’s true of many propaganda outfits.

another thing which is true of "many" propaganda outlets is they don't literally give you cancer, and that is an observation exactly as discerning as yours, because they are both also true of "many" truthful media outlets

if you have an issue with the specific article, or the facts alleged within, that's one thing, but the facts not reflecting well on your viewpoint and you being upset they aren't reporting other things which would make you feel better, is not a criticism of them
When I worked at Starbucks, we were threatened with "low/no hours for the next week or 2". It wasn't 'official policy', but it was certainly tolerated. 1-2 weeks is small enough that unemployment insurance won't cover that, but is extremely detrimental to the wages we got. Our store made some of the highest profits in the area, so certain policies were fuzzy. If you get my drift. That was just 1 corner cut.

Unless we were in the hospital, we came in sick.

I made your drinks sick.

I took money and got pastries sick.

I made other patrons sick.

I made other employees sick.

The one time I "got out of working sick" was when I told the shift manager that I felt very bad and requested home. She said to wait it out. And I suddenly had a bad urge to vomit. I was in the doorway of the front room and back room. Lets just say it was bad. I was sent home for illness that day.
Both things can be true.

Fossil fuels have certainly helped improve the lives of billions. At the same time, the negative impact can't be overstated, and only gets worse with time (the more the climate changes, the higher the future cost).

Additionally, oil extracted in California for domestic consumption doesn't affect third world countries, so it's irrelevant what positive impact it might make halfway across the world.
What it doesn't tell us though is how useful the rejected recommendations were.

Meaning, how many rejected solutions were sufficient to give the engineer enough context to turn a 30m task into a 5m task because they generated a recommendation, got an idea, rejected it, and rewrote it more efficiently or more correctly?

There's a lot of "devil in the details" likely buried in here.
Building your own computer algebra system is a very rewarding side-project.

Depending on how they implement that change, that is going to mess with a lot of spam control bots.
I can see the value of recording the raw data at the time and then applying the corrections after the fact. I'm sure there are applications for that mode of operations.

But for the ground surveying and ground control RTK equipment I've been looking at, you do want to apply those corrections in real time. For example, if you're controlling a tractor that is pulling a lot of heavy equipment through a field of crops, and you want to make sure you line up correctly on the product being farmed (e.g., corn), you want to make sure that your tractor goes exactly where you want it to go, and in real time.

In my mind, that's what Real Time Kinetics is all about.

I generally agree that it’s generally a terrible expectation for everyone to know the law and how it is interpreted. The book “3 Felonies a Day” covers this. But it is the law we live under and the law created by the people we elect. Don’t like it? Vote with intention.

Police officers are taught the Cliff Notes of the law during police academy, in order to earn an LEO license, and by attorneys that work with the police department. As much as I would like individual officers to known more about the law, let’s not pretend like they know as little as the average citizen about the law.
Yes. As a member of the general populace you have no idea how much progress Waymo is making and are unqualified to "test" their systems. However, you are not being asked to "test" their systems and you are not involved in the operation of the systems, so the point is moot. This is in contrast to Tesla where you "are" both of those things which is the problem.

Also, I just realized that the systems safety engineer you responded to has also posted a reply, so you should look to their statement for a more in-depth analysis as they are a expert on the subject.
From the Wiki page, the goal of this is to organize your work in a queue based on the due date of each item. The challenge for me would be that every work item I have in home or business life needs to be done ASAP as long as the next most priority thing is either complete or blocked on something external. It's extremely rare to have a deliverable that's due next December.
You don't need to take their comment seriously... After all they didn't make the counterargument and therefore it's a overly biased point and thus not useful in any way.

Yes. I look forward to a future where we don't have to wrestle between software and hardware. AI just runs, whether on CPU, GPU, TPU, QPU, or whatever architecture you want to design. Time to move on and focus on more important problems, like solving climate change.

The executives are good at business so they virtually exclusively license franchises to independent owner-operators who are on the hook to meet franchise standards, pay licensing fees, pay the actual employees, and still turn a profit.
They wouldn’t in the case of California oil production because it’s long past peak and would have little impact if it went poof.

In general, these companies have made enough money that they are insulated from any meaningful punitive action. “Polluting Oil Well 32668 of Los Angeles, LLC” will go bankrupt if sued and disappear once it becomes untenable.

That’s no secret, and being the HN Lorax for oil extraction is both bizarre and a futile effort - the die is cast, and taxpayers will be stuck with the bill.

NiMH handles gentle overcharging gracefully. They generate a little bit of hydrogen, and the battery has an internal catalyst to convert it back. It can do that indefinitely as long as it's at a low rate.

When aggressively overcharged they may rupture, but they don't go up in flames like Li-ion does.
opensource was created as a financial weapon against proprietary software (and businesses). whilst it is possible with opensource to make a company that generates revenue it is significantly harder. don’t. proceed with caution and consider alternative approaches such as the prosperity license (which isn’t “opensource” as per OSD) but folks are having some success with it. go look at the dependabot repo. it’s an open community that accepts contributions. the GitHub issue tracker is there. people can still see the source code and self-fix problems. best of both worlds.

if you want to derisk the intellectual property from the SaaS company and do a pledge to the community then setting up a seperate entity that holds the copyright to the source code and do a commitment to community that after X years after $event the code will become opensource under OSD that’s a potential thing you could do as well.

if you build a mega successful company then you could later opensource the IP as well but the best thing to do is to consider sustainability of the project - ie making money.

giving away all your stuff for free is not a (easy) path to make money and many venture backed companies over the last three years are starting to learn the lesson the hard way now that capital is drying up.
