> Never heard of "eating cold in winter warms you up"

"Science and Life" reprinted some article on a comparison between a sandwich and an ice cream for the useful energy output in a cold environment. Guess you missed it. *grin*
> The main advantage of the direct brain-computer interface seems to be speed. But extreme speed is important in only a limited class of circumstances, many of them competitions and zero-sum endeavors, such as sports and games.

This statement seems very short-sighted, like the infamous 640k comment.

When talking about extreme speed, we’re talking about reducing latency. If I could type this comment with my brain instead of the slow interface that is my thumbs + phone keyboard, that would be a huge win for a seemingly mundane activity, and highly valuable. Writing code would be much faster, for instance. There are plenty of valuable uses for direct brain to computer interface, even simple functions, that don’t involve competition and zero-sum endeavors. It’s like someone saying graphics cards are only useful to gamers.
>People’s susceptibility to anthropomorphizing an even slightly convincing computer program has been known since ELIZA, one of the first chatbots, in 1966. It’s called the ELIZA effect.

I'm tired of these arguments. Very very few people are anthropomorphizing chatgpt.. very few. The majority of people both technical and non technical who have played with chatGPT in a non trivial way are aware of the chatbots limitations. It's like recognizing a crazy person on the street. Humans are well equipped for that.

This argument characterizes the average person as some kind of stupid buffoon as if he/she can't tell chatGPT really screws shit up. Sure there are a few gullible outliers but as a generality his claim is simply completely false. Pretty much everyone and I mean everyone is aware about the limitations of LLMs.

This is a weak and repeated trope that's being regurgitated as if the critics are LLMs themselves.

Let me specify exactly what's going on. People who are afraid of/support AI are more speaking to the potential of AI. Why? Because just as much as this thing hallucinates about half the time it answers a complex question with an equally complex and correct answer and that answer in isolation is often indistinguishable or even at times superior to a humans answer.

Yes we know it hallucinates and forgets shit. This is obvious, no need to readdress an obvious weakness that everyone is aware about. If critics want to have a real discussion then they seriously need to address the actual strengths and phenomenons of LLMs instead of repeatedly highlighting the obvious weaknesses.

Because while we have somewhat of an explanation for the hallucinations we currently don't know how chatGPT was able to do something like this:

Read to the end of you haven't seen this. The ending is what is quite unexplainable by experts. You can't just trivialize that entire post as if it was just a statistical phenomenon. There's obviously an alternative angle here.
We are a probably one of the small subset of companies that have moved things back in house and off of 365. We have a lot of data and the previous IT guy just lift and shifted everything to the cloud. There was a lot of problems so we moved it back to our own data center... Funny no one complains about things being slow anymore.
I'm dating myself, but my school had touch-tone service for the same thing. My trusty war-dialing script and I didn't fail to enroll into any class I wanted either. Ahh, the good ol' days.
Same with my Bose. The foam surrounds were short lived. Rubber lasted longer but was not as widely used.
I agree that this article leans too much into "antihype" and dismisses the danger. The criticism that AI safety regulations are a pretty obvious attempt to erect a regulatory moat is an important one however.
How am I supposed to stop them? Reddit is not a public resource. The suggested method of “complaining” is unlikely to work since it’s not like they don’t know that users of third-party applications don’t like the change; they’re just betting not many will leave over it (probably correctly).
>Leeches of Uncle Sam ‘s bottomless pockets by providing it with cheaper launches than any other contractor could? Seriously not a success? Ok then…

The fact that any contractor comes close to bankruptcy proves that they are completely unable to continue providing these launches at the prices they agreed. And that's not even factoring in this wild `Mars 2029` delusion.
Taking from the public domain, but never contributing their own, has been the business model of Disney ever since their inception! Not surprising that companies of today follows the same foot steps.
This is the most likely scenario at this point. Not sure why you're being downvoted.

This jibes with my experience. I was looking to come in on a web platform team there but they tried to shift me over to an ad focused team. I said “no dice” and parted ways.

Ironically I now work for an email marketing platform company, but it’s great work and we just provide the tools to annoy people. It’s our customers that actually do it (I know, I know).
A tub. They put a tub in their yard. My uncle uses a rain barrel, which works fine. But he's not the CEO of a charity organization.
I’m not sure how much to read into an interview, but how many times are we going to be surprised by this cycle? They don’t care about monetization until their user base has grown large and established, and then they do and monetize aggressively. Where have I seen this movie before?
So they are leeching off of Uncle Sam’s bottomless pockets by selling it launches at a loss (hence burning VC or investor money)? Really confused what the point is here.
For context, Fortune, WSJ, FT, etc. have all been consistently over the past 2 quarters churning out several opinion articles on the topic of remote work.

The articles are always opinion pieces loosely based on cherry picked reality. They either attack remote work with reasons why it "doesn't work", or attack how remote work destroys corporate "culture" or city centres.

It's useless to have any honest discussion on these pieces because they are an obvious concerted effort to shape public opinion in order to save commercial real estate investors who were caught with their pants down now that several companies are not renewing leases.
Anyone else miss being able to just “talk” to people? It was the ultimate in distributed instant messaging. Instant down to the characters you were typing.

I remember starting to craft a response before a friend was completely done asking a question … and then that friend stopping short and starting the next question before I was done answering.
But to be fair, that’s just because you couldn’t easily see in that direction. Presumably a Tesla’s cameras can see in all directions.

A better example would probably be hearing emergency sirens before there was any line of sight to the emergency vehicle.
Private insurance for that is relatively cheap.
Power consumption is what's relevant to this discussion thread here. We're not talking about possible capacity but possible efficiency for given capacity as implemented in analog vs digital circuits.
It’s amazing how much worse the new redesign is. I’m not usually a “new is bad” kind of guy but it’s just way less functional. Apparently a majority of people use it at this point though, and I guess “new” is relative here.
There should be laws banning social media for kids.
The almanac is still needed, it has the orbital positions and those change over days. I think current GPS receivers can receive from lots if not all satellites at once. Different satellites are transmitting different parts of almanac. The receiver downloads the almanac in parallel.

I mean it's not bad, but I do wish I could tell the indentation of comments, using a screen reader. I just kinda don't even focus on that though, but it does make comments just, mainly, a flat list of comments to me.
Tesla cameras can't see through fog any better than eyes.
I pay some money once a month for my car to drive me around. My car then drives me around.

My argument is that since I’m paying month by month I clearly know what I’m buying and have properly evaluated the value proposition. The classic argument that FSD is a scam because consumers don’t understand what they’re buying falls apart when FSD is a no contract subscription service.

I didn't downvote you, but one thing that surprises me that for all of the expert communities I follow and participate in, there are basically never links to Reddit threads. I do hear complaints from a few friends about how misleading/non-factual some of the comments are.

Yeah QQQ is up 10% and BTC down 10% from 2 month ago. Going to get worse for Bitcoin and crypto overall. Bitcoin does not generate profits, does not benefit from AI hype/boom, does not hedge inflation. It has no upside, only downside.

It is good for stuff like craigslist or splitting checks.

The following scam works with craigslist + paypal, but not zelle:

You sell me an expensive item. I paypal you the money. You check your account and see that the money landed. I walk away with the item and immediately reverse the paypal transaction.

Note that the “I sell you a stolen/broken thing that will definitely be traced to you” scam works on both paypal and zelle, since the time to discovery of the scam is long enough to pull the money out of PayPal.

I’m not sure how hard it is to set up a burner zelle account and use it for untraceable crimes. It’s apparently easy to do that with paypal.

But, to your point, yes, they’re both pretty terrible services from a consumer protection standpoint.
No, you’re right, for a lot of topics it’s Reddit or Discord now and I don’t really care for the latter.
What has people's experience with cold showers/ice baths been? Is it as positive as all the hype advertises?
They aren't requirements or you don't know they're requirements?

(Some countries like the UK don't have this because it's even _worse_. There are no written requirements of what's legal to build, because nothing at all is legal to build without convincing a planner to allow it.)
Getting rich seemed so much more worth the effort when the upper class lifestyle was lavish and decadent. Now that we have this self righteous, abstemious class of tech overlords it really cured me of envy.

Zuckerberg spends his free time trying to outrun his demons with insane workouts posted on social media, but I can be broke and pretty much do that.
As it’s always been.

I cannot for the life of me figure out how we don’t have an amendment on the books that says “if you produce something in or from this country, you must see to its entire lifecycle”.

Just kidding, I know exactly why we don’t have such an amendment.

> where I feel a true sense of community and source of knowledge.

To me HN is the closest to a degree. You need a system where users agree on what they want to see, and its not just a select few who enforce the system, but the community self-polices. HN self-polices quite a lot, though I wouldnt be surprised what sorts of mess the mods deal with behind the scenes, having moderated other communities elsewhere online.
Well, not for anything complex. We can't even compensate some unexpected steering in 0.2s, while robots can do that in some µs.

I would wager that 90% or more of their revenue comes from the generic TikTok meme slurry of r/all and the front page. I think some big % of their users aren't even signed in.

So the long tail of hobby subs are probably just noise and operational burden. So if they're wanting to IPO, they probably want to cut costs and focus hard on ad revenue. I'm guessing banning nsfw stuff is probably in the works too.

hn really ended up replacing Slashdot for me. Disappointingly, I took a look at /. in the past month and realized I hadn't even loaded it out in 4+ years.

Ideal would be hn style sites, decentralized like forums, and managed by individual communities. Then, stick to a standard, unlike the old phpBB, vBulletin, etc, so there can be some level of access by API.

Who's presuming? Swartz was remarkably vocal about his aspirations for the internet, and I definitely don't remember hearing him say that the future we ought to fight for is one where APIs wrapping user-generated content are only accessible to institutions with deep pockets.
That's a good explanation. I've copied it to a colleague who is learning.
>I know exactly why we don’t have such an amendment.

Why?
The Bank Secrecy Act requires banks to file a currency transaction report when a customer makes more than $10,000 of cash transactions with the bank in a single day. "Structuring" aggregate transactions to stay under the limit can get you thrown in jail, and your money seized.

That law was passed in 1970. The amount hasn't been adjusted since then. It would approach $80,000 today if it had been indexed for inflation.

Don't know about you, but I don't foresee anyone sponsoring legislation to relax these reporting requirements, or otherwise making it easier to conduct private cash transactions with anything but toy amounts of money.
I can't be the first person to think that trying to do the "every possible situation, individually" thing is stupid.

Why no focus on e.g. a top down federal "system" that would take over the driving e.g. just on the highways/interstates? Seems like that would be orders of magnitude EASIER.
> Bioweapon labs in Ukraine is one of Putin's stated reasons for the Invasion. Allegedly work was being done on targeting specific ethnicities, like slavs. Ukraine was a very politically corrupt country, for a long time. Would not surprise me if this was true.

This is one of Putins and his supporters Krokodil inspired fever dreams that never existed, Russia also said they wouldn’t invade the day before they did.

They have also been saying that Ukraine is using black magic witch battalions to be attack them, do you believe?.

Matlab has Simulink, but I don't think there is anything equivalent for Octave. However, Scilab has Xcos. In general, if you don't need total compatibility with Matlab, you should take a look at Scilab, because it is much more polished than Octave.

GPS satellites don’t correct for relativistic effects. They just set the Earth as the preferred frame, which is a great choice for a terrestrial positioning system.

I’ll see if I can find the paper it’s quite interesting.

Edit: I can't find the specific paper I'm thinking of. It's one that discusses how when other orbiting bodies want to use GPS they have to make a bunch of complex corrections that terrestrial users don't. But a search for Earth Centerered Inertial Frame will find you plenty of papers discussing the general concept.
Wrong. Too many people do anthropomorphize LLMs. And few people actually understand how LLMs work, or how to detect errors and hallucinations. Calling LLM autocomplete "AI" deliberately conflates the tech with sci-fi tropes that many people already confuse with reality. Numerous examples, from ELIZA to Watson, internet-based scams and frauds, full self-driving, to all of crypto demonstrate human credulity and gullibility, magnified if people think they will either profit or lose financially.

The technology behind LLMs probably does have some interesting and valuable applications. But look at the hype and follow the money with a skeptical eye. If so-called AI does or will soon deliver real benefits then why all of the hype around it? Show, don't tell, and especially don't tell stories based on possible future advances or breakthroughs.

Future editions of Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds will have long chapters about crypto and AI. If you think most people understand the tech and its limitations and don't act according to gullibility, ignorance, and greed that book should disabuse you.

I always felt there would be 'carpool'/express lanes that would just be for automatic driving cars. They would communicate with each other and so they could pack together really tightly. You'd enter your destination, then drive you car to the point that you enter the lanes, then the car would take over. It would warn before your exit, then you'd take over.
Because the people making money from not having it can afford lobbyists to prevent having it.

Respectfully, no FSD Beta video can add anything of safety value in evaluating these systems - and the only thing that these videos do these days is add a sense of complacency in most or all FSD Beta users.

Videos and personal experiences can only reveal safety issues, never positive progress.

Marques (and every other FSD Beta user) is not read into a would-be systems safety lifecycle for this safety-critical systems that Tesla should be maintaining.

Marques (and every other FSD Beta user) is entirely blind to that.

It is a complete Black Box to them.

Therefore, the assessments made are always subjective and are almost entirely based on emotions and appearances (and other hand-wavy, ill-defined aspects such as "interventions" or "disengagements") rather than a complete accounting of all relevant systems safety components.

Systems safety is about exhaustively asking questions and then exhaustively seeking quantifiable answers to those questions against established failure modes and in the context of the system and every other system that interacts with it (including the human driver in the case of a FSD Beta-equipped vehicle as a Level 2-capable vehicle).

That is the whole point of a company maintaining a robust systems safety lifecycle - to convert subjective opinions of system characteristics into quantifiable understanding.

Tesla is not maintaining that.

Throughout the video, there are several places were Marques states "he thinks" or "he believes" or "that looks good" and such comments are also prevalent in the YouTube comments attached to the video.

These are safety-critical systems where an unhandled failure can readily result in an injury or death.

Responsible systems developers need something far more quantifiable than blind opinions of run-of-the-mill consumers.

That FSD Beta-active vehicles do not appear to "run into things as often" on the roadway is not a complete evaluation of the system.

There are also very real indirect and "unseen" safety components that are inherently part of the public roadways that must also be accounted for.

For what it is worth, I touched on some examples of this recently in a Mastodon thread: https://elk.zone/mastodon.social/@adamjcook/1101629508444173...
