I was quoting Craig Murray, kinda. I remember the Poll Tax riots, and how they affected the decision on that policy. Real, substantive, change to the government's thinking based on public protest. That couldn't happen today because of the change in laws - the protests would be stopped before they ever started, and wouldn't turn into riots (in part because police tactics have changed and they no longer try to turn protests into riots).

I'm a huge optimist about the future. I believe the world is a better place, on average, than it used to be and getting better every year. But the trend to authoritarianism in the West, together with the increasing wealth gap, is worrying. Historically this produces violent revolutions - the rich get richer, and pass increasingly draconian laws to contain the anger of the rest of society, until the point where it cannot be contained and the rich get slaughtered in a revolution. I find it unbelievable that we're headed there, and yet cannot deny the evidence.
I wonder what the corruption and coverups look like now. Everyone understands how revealing the paper trail can be and I bet retention policies and data governance are used to make the evidence disappear.

Should companies like Microsoft get scrutinized for building the tech that makes it easier to hide these types of things?

Maybe some of the large pharmaceutical, pesticide, mining, and / or every company over a certain size should be legally obligated to have a lifelong retention policy for their communications.
This is a motte and bailey argument.

The motte: nobody is perfectly neutral, so no journalism can be perfectly objective. (true)

The bailey: it is normal and reasonable for journalists to present a biased narrative without even attempting to find or mention relevant information that would contradict it. (false)

Objectivity is an ideal that, while impossible to perfectly achieve, can certainly be done better or worse, and is important for journalists to think about if they want the trust of the public.
It’s not enough.

Skipping oil and going to power generation, you have the same thing. Spin off the power generator, leave it with no money, the land has negative value, go bankrupt. This has happened in Oxnard for example, and the city is trying to not have it happen again (good luck).
> One of the common interview questions I ask is computing the sum of an array of doubles. Barely 1% of applicants can even get the basics correctly such as having multiple partial sums.

Ehhh... I've got multiple hats from my college classes.

Yes, optimizations say that multiple partial sums is fastest. But... my floating-point analysis classes has my brain yelling "cancellation error". The only way to minimize cancellation error is to sort the numbers from biggest to smallest, and then separate them from positives-and-negatives. You add the numbers from smallest to largest in magnitude, only matching signs, and then finally combine them at the end.

The only two partial sums you should be keeping are "positive numbers" and "negative numbers", and everything else needs to be folded together to minimize rounding and cancellation errors.

--------

You know. For stability and minimization of errors. There's other, faster, methods to possibly be employed. But optimization of partial sums is probably the last thing I'm thinking if I see "float" or "double".

If things are "int" or "long", I'll have a higher chance of actually thinking (and caring) about optimization, because stability/cancellation error isn't a thing with int or long.

hmm, I'm not sure I'm up for using that, but creating a JMAP wrapper around IMAP/SMTP seems feasible, if only because JMAP is a better interface.

As you say, though, this is a bet that JMAP will eventually become popular, and there seems no sign of that yet.
Your quote from article is valid, but it looks like a scam. There are already Hokkaido-Aomori HVDC lines. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HVDC_Hokkaido%E2%80%93Honshu

Possibly it works for small remote island or remote offshore wind turbines (depending on cost), but I don't know who want to use it for Hokkaido-Aomori.
Sadly that's still a lot of people. Sadder still is that it includes people already treated as subhuman and not worthy of labor protections.

BTW do you want to accept the risk that everyone who prepares your food takes this step? If you found out post diagnosis, how satisfied would you be with punishing the restaurants/processors/grocers? it's already too late for you. Maybe it's just simplest to regulate environmental toxins so that they cannot get into the food supply.

It is greatly exaggerated. I may be wrong, but as far as I’m aware, the death toll associated with Tesla’s self-driving beta is still zero.

There are a handful of highly publicised deaths associated with Tesla drivers that misused adaptive cruise control and lane centring features. Such features are available on most new cars sold today. It is unclear whether the death rate from cruise control misuse is actually higher with Tesla vehicles, or if the apparent difference is from differing levels of media attention.

There are lots of grid scale battery companies, A123 was one, that were (still are?)

One could conceive of just using those and loading and unloading them just like standard containers on a ship.
They already do this, just not for "friends & family". That's part of the hook to get so many people to sign up and use it, making it a huge value-add for businesses.

Wynyard Station escalator sculpture Interloop preserves heritage (2017)
I'm still annoyed they got rid of the ultrasonic sensors on the latest model. I test drove a 2022 (or maybe a 2021) and the park assist was pretty good. And then I get the 2023 delivered and there's no park assist for the first 6 months because they removed the ultrasonics but the vision-only software wasn't ready yet. A vision-based park assist finally came in via an OTA update but it's nowhere near as precise as the ultrasonic version was. Like, the estimates of how much distance is in front of me seem to jump around a lot more than I'm actually moving, and it sometimes reports it's degraded when trying to pull out of a tight spot.

Because the demand is only there for 250 days.

I wonder if this is the next generation of software delivery, an infrastructure team collects the payload from storage, stops it down to its core implementation, then repackages it in the process needed for the new system. It would be kind of like a post apocalyptic salvage of useful utilities that lack the necessary infrastructure from the previous era and can be remade useful through recompilation as a new process

Not certain but I remember looking into this and finding out that organic or not doesn’t matter as much because the chemical gets in the soil and water, or in the wind, and eventually contaminated nearby fields not using it.

It’s interesting to note that the chemical is banned in most of the world (EU, UK, Switzerland…) but not in the US because of course.
It most definitely was. The chat output of GPT4 is much faster now and much worse quality. If you go in the playground and use the March 14 api (as opposed to the default GPT4 API) it is high quality and slow. Yes, there are two GPT4 API endpoints .

There's also a version of the "nobody ever got fired for choosing IBM" fallacy/truism at work, right? If management picks $WELL_KNOWN_PRODUCT_XYZ and things go sideways... well, they don't look foolish. But if they rely on... some random in-house engineer and things don't work out, they look like fools.

(Even though, in both cases, it actually just comes down to the same in-house engineers. Because the in-house engineers still need to do the integration work)
It would be far better to use the energy locally to disassociate sea water and turn it into hydrogen, then ship the hydrogen.

They're doing this with the sea change ferry in San Francisco. The hydrogen that it runs on will be created from electricity and seawater at the point if use, on a floating fuel barge. It gets even better, they're using fully green hydroelectric energy from Hetch Hetchy reservoir, so the whole chain is about as green as possible, and is really an example for the rest of the world to follow.

We didn’t have that. Sick days accrued. And there was no point in taking sick days like that. This team was a very well functioning team, honestly one of the greatest places I’ve worked. I just found this bit a little ironic.
This is what works for me so far:

- This repo has a list of important papers at the end of every week: https://github.com/dair-ai/ML-Papers-of-the-Week

- The best papers are usually discussed pretty quickly on relevant Discord servers I'm in (HuggingFace, EleutherAI, FastAI, etc).

- I follow discussions on a few GitHub repos and learn some implementation details that way. (llama.cpp, oobabooga, etc)

- Finally- there are quite a few YouTube channels that are good supplements (there was a good HN thread about this a while ago).

I'd also like to offer some encouragement- I remember feeling daunted at the beginning, thinking of how fast things were moving in AI, and how slow I'd be in comparison. But once I started reading papers, it became a lot easier to make connections and identify which papers were actually novel and exciting versus which ones were just variations of things that had been tried and tested before.

I promise that it gets easier and more enjoyable as soon as you get past the initial psychological barrier at the beginning- AI is really fun to use!
There are a lot of interesting tools in this area.

> Your first mistake is assuming that ... your...account now holds USD $500.

Same mistake with making an uninsured deposit at any bank. A deposit at a modern bank is just a possibly insured low or no interest loan to the bank. It does not mean that the bank actually has sufficient assets to back it up or can liquidate them in time. It is bank money exchangeable for U.S. currency, but not U.S. currency. A large number of mostly business depositors at three sizable banks almost found that out the hard way in the past few months. If the FDIC did not stretch the law those businesses might be getting cents on the dollar months if not years down the road.
Are they p-zombies? Superficially, they seem to be able to behave as if they were human. Sort of.
> I don't know if you meant it this way but you sound so classist with this garbage. Afraid of the non-techies coming in and being 'vile' and trashing things? You only want to share space with wealthy, upper class people, as if they're the only ones who know how to respect public space?

I grew up in a 3rd world country poorer than the poorest person you can find here. Most of my life I was poor until I started making easy money in tech once I got some experience, so everything I know from my US experience has been either inner city public transit or walking. I do know that the more money I got, the cleaner and more comfortable my environment became. I don't blame you for making some ridiculous statement like that, high compensation tends to do that to people especially people who have never faced actual adversity or difficulties so they have to pretend things are OK and rosy out of guilt.

So let's be clear. If you live west of the 101, you're in a good area. Things are definitely fine in Sunset, Richmond, Portola, etc. I spend a lot of time in Mission, Soma, Bayview for work and social activities. It is not clean and nice in these areas. Graffiti, trash, people passed out in the street, etc. Common sights there.

If you're in tech in SF and clearing 300-400k plus, you're not going to deal with this. If you're in these not-so-nice areas you're going to be in a nice apartment with modern security systems paying 3-4k a month or more. You probably have a nice view of the SF skyline or water, and spend time in parks wearing at worst a store brand like Patagonia while snapping pictures of your $4000 dog. You probably use Uber and Lyft, which let's be honest, are mostly used by upper middle class persons and up.

> Are Uber and Lyft not also GA? Are their cars also trashed? Seems strange that you picked on public transit as if the "unwashed masses" can't also order an Uber.

Uber and lyft have a person driving the car. There are obviously instances of people ruining these cars, but in Cruise and Waymo there isn't a driver. It cost me 40 bucks to go from Soma to Sunset one time. These services are for people with disposable income. There are people who can barely afford public transit. They aren't using Uber of Lyft. Be real dude lol. Have you ever taken public transit outside of Pacific Heights or out of necessity?

Anyway, the sad reality is that people destroy property for no reason, and most of the occurrences I've personally experienced of this have been in areas where people are not present and/or entry fee is cheap/free. The desks in my American schooling and university would always be vandalized and ruined.. why etch shit onto the desks it makes it hard to write. People rip out keys from the public library computers. I take the bus sometimes. Why are the seats ripped intentionally and shit scribbled into the window and the hand rails?
A "first of it's kind study" alongside a thumbnail tailor made to appeal to NIMBYs, literally an oil well across the street from a cookie cutter mcmansion. Do these publications even value their credibility anymore.

If it costs more to clean up it will probably be due to the nepotism and corruption with which such contracts are handed out. Maybe let the fossil fuels run from the wells long enough to cover the cost?

This is 100% true. Lidar improves accuracy by millimeters up close, inches at 10-50 feet away and feet beyond that. That accuracy is more than sufficient. Recognition and classification of objects is not improved at all (that part that matters). And, like parent post said, tesla classifies everything very very well, the real issue is that the planner acts completely crazy all the time and is scary.
One of my most memorable courses in undergraduate was taught by a spritely lecturer who must've been in his 80s. He'd make a statement or proposition, write it on the board, then quickly turn around, point at a student somewhere in the classroom with an open palm, and shout, "do you believe this?"

It was partly theatrical, but it seemed genuine. It was very engaging and it really prodded me to consider whether what he was telling us was true. It piqued my curiosity and motivated me to do my homework to watch someone so filled with energy trying to get a bunch of undergrads excited about multivariate calculus, especially at his age.

I think I speak for many here when I say that I'm more motivated to learn stuff when I can clearly articulate what benefit I will derive from having mastered the material. "Because it's going to be on the exam" never cut it for me. Unfortunately, I found that I was in a tiny minority of intellectually engaged students for the majority of my undergraduate years; the rest of my peers were much more interested in all-night cramming for the exam followed by a weekend of binge-drinking.

I don't know how well the approach in this essay would work for the general population, but it certainly sounds much more interesting to people who actually find studying mathematics enjoyable.
