Why Santa Helena must be preserved
Once upon a time we laughed at the Back To The Future Part II's "Pizza Time" scene (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8oS4VbRaAA). I guess we are in the future now.
I wouldn't characterize that as a bait-and-switch, but as adjusting to economic reality. When solar is <1% of penetration, a solar kWh is basically just as valuable as any other kWh. When solar gets over 10% of penetration, a solar kWh is worth much less than any other kWh - when the sun is shining, energy is plentiful. By the time you get to ~25% solar penetration, energy is almost free on a sunny day at noon, and much of the value moves into storage, to move the solar energy from noontime to the evening.
Net market price is only fair way. Anything else is wealth transfer to rich capitalists.
Thats a good point, I guess technically they did the same thing with Apple Silicone where we all knew new mac's were coming.

So it isn't entirely unprecedented, but I don't ever remember them even hinting at future Watches, iPhones, etc when announcing a current one. Maybe the iPhone X being an exception when they talked about it being the future of iPhone.
So true. Dvorak user for 20+ years but I find QWERTY to be much better for one handed typing on a touch screen.

I think it's the design goal of having a high chance of switching keyboard side each stroke that makes it so horrible.

Still I would never go back to using QWERTY on a real keyboard, using Dvorak is so much more comfortable.
While you describe the technical approach, I think OP was asking "what is it? What does it do? Why would I care?"

I can't really figure out the "Why would I care?" part from their website. I've been hearing them pop up a bunch. Just don't understand what they do.
> When Spielberg edited E.T. to replace guns with walkie-talkies, was that censorship? Or freedom of speech?

Here’s how Spielberg himself describes it (https://allthingsfangirl.blogspot.com/2011/09/on-scene-raide...):

“Speaking for myself, you know, I tried [modifying a film] once and I lived to regret it. Not because of fan outrage, but simply because I was disappointed in myself. I was overly sensitive to some of the criticism ET got from parent groups when it was first released in '82 having to do with Eliot saying "Penis Breath" or the guns...and then there were certain brilliant, but rough around the edges close ups of ET that I always felt, if technology ever evolves to the point where I can do some facial enhancement for ET, I'd like to. So I did an ET pass for like the third release of the movie and it was okay for a while, but then I realized that what I had done was I had robbed the people who loved ET of their memories of ET. And I regretted that.”

Yes, and clearly there should be a very pointed note about journalists in this law if it is to be put into practice. But for the likes that use(d) EncroChat I'm all for it.

Btw, both lawyers and journalists have quite a few special protections under Dutch law and it isn't clear to me that this proposal would trump those protections, in fact if challenged I would expect the judiciary to affirm that those protections carry the most weight.

Snowden is free to do what he wants. But don't take the moral high ground when you're accepting being a propaganda pawn by a country like Russia. The fact that he continues to openly mock the US on twitter, while claiming he can't comment on anything Ukraine/Russia because he's not an 'expert' on the matter shows you exactly where his priorities are.
For example, what useful things does Windows let you do which MacOS doesn't? The only thing I can name when comparing Windows to Linux, besides being able to run full-blown VisualStudio and Adobe, is app-level firewall, but Mac has LittleSnitch.
In case of FL Studio - there’s a core product that remains free and receives updates, and there various add-ons and content that you can pay for if you choose to.

It’s not all that different to how some game producers continue to update and bug-fix the game, as well as on occasion introduce new features - while releasing expansions that you need to pay for if you want to play it. Example - Diablo 3 which saw 3 or 4 expansions since it was released a decade or so ago. Or Fallout 4.

That model obviously works for some - and the makers of FL Studio celebrated their 20th anniversary a while ago. One of the benefits to them - is that they don’t need to support old versions of their software, all customers have the latest version available to them free of charge.

I can't find any sources to back up your claim that Venezuela and WikiLeaks, or anyone for that matter were offering to smuggle Snowden anywhere, but hey let's take that at face value. We'll assume Venezuela was prepared to take the risk of very publicly smuggling someone out of a Russian airport (which Russia would of course be completely chill about), and the resources to do it successfully.

In that scenario Snowden is taking an incredible risk to trade being stuck in Russia for being stuck in Venezuela, which is also considered a national security threat to the US and is also an authoritarian regime. How is that better?
And of course it can also be used for gaining entry to hackers systems by infiltrating c&c servers on third party hardware, which also had been done before by Dutch authorities without any existing legal framework to allow this.
Yeah. I would say the post 9/11 attitude towards Muslims was the next red scare. And that was the trigger for a lot of this bullshit. So we as a society must remain vigilant of efforts to reduce civil rights.

I personally think the resurgence in the last few years of "tough on crime" political rhetoric is another similar wave. The people who want to lock up the homeless or whatever. People demanding more incarceration of petty criminals. Judges are frequently described as weak if they let someone go due to insufficient evidence. If we start thinking due process is for chumps and that we need to lock everybody up no questions asked, I think mass surveillance can be a terrible input to that system.
They've kind of botched it by releasing something that even though it may surpass ChatGpt sooner than later, at present doesn't. With the Bard name and being loud about it, I've started referring to it as https://asterix.fandom.com/wiki/Cacofonix (or Assurancetourix for my French brethren)

Just take a look at any recent thread about electric vehicles and especially about Tesla. Same luddites talking about how everybody needs to drive 1000km without stopping every day.
My opinion: HN has a particular culture and attitude to discussion that can be grating for non-users.

One example: HNers tend to approach topics as if they have a solid grasp on the context of a matter, and are often negative, hence dang's plea against 'middlebrow dismissal.'

Another example: the common practice of leading rebuttals to a comment with "No. \n" While that's OK here, there are a lot of people who would qualify that as "really fucking annoying."

HN culture leaks onto sites that get linked to by it, and fairly enough, not everybody is down with that.

IMO this is exactly apples-to-apples comparison.

They both represent SOTA of two firms trying for technically the same thing. Just because the models or the infrastructure aren't identical doesn't mean we should not be comparing those to the same standards. Where Bard gains in speed and accessibility, it looses in reasoning and response quality.
The point of this "IQ Test" is to set a relatively low-bar for passing the IQ test question so that even intellectually lazy people can get an intuitive feel for the limitation of Transformer models. This limitation has been pointed out formally by the DeepMind paper "Neural Networks and the Chomsky Hierarchy".

https://arxiv.org/abs/2207.02098

The general principle may be understood in terms of the approximation of Solomonoff Induction by natural intelligence during the activity known as "data driven science" aka "The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Mathematics In the Natural Sciences". Basically, if your learning model is incapable of at least context sensitive grammars in the Chomsky hierarchy, it isn't capable of inducing dynamical algorithmic models of the world. If it can't do that, then it can't model causality and is therefore going to go astray when it comes to understanding what "is" and therefore can't be relied upon when it comes to alignment of what it "ought" to be doing.

Autodesk taking a 3-year subscription from me, and then not releasing a single thing during that time, not even fixing bugs, was the reason I decided "Never again does Autodesk get to bill me".

If they'll do it once, they'll do it again. Moved to Altium and although it was expensive, it was a 1-off cost for a permanent license, and I got ~20 years of use out of Eagle, if I amortize the cost over the same time period it's not so bad - and it's orders of magnitude better, even if that does come with a steeper learning curve.

Friends don't let friends use Autodesk software.
Lesson learned for them is that you can never rely on the http referrer because it can be removed/updated/spoofed etc. A team that runs Linux should at least be aware of that and not block a website based on this value.

> probably tossed in the garbage.

I doubt that. The best we can hope for is that such information is compressed and moved to long-term storage or pointers to it are lost. More likely the only protection it really endures is that it is being obscured by the massive influx of new data; i.e. buried under an endlessly silting riverbed of new data.

> and China’s probably using their equivalent to stop dissidents and criminals

Check up on China[1]. They've massively stepped up the surveillance to the point where it's actively intervening on people's behavior to make them act "better" and discourage such bad things as....playing loud music on trains. They are barreling towards a dystopia where they can digitally un-person you for wrongdoing and wrongthink. Right now it's just the soft whips of not being to buy a train ticket or fly, but it will absolutely reach into every aspect citizen's lives, from charging different prices to determining where you can live and whether you pay fines or go to jail. China has a long tradition of un-personing politic dissidents, including jailing and killing them. The future looks horrifying.

I doubt lack of social space has anything to do with it. As a kid I would hang out at a literal dump with friends; what else were we going to do? It’s just too easy to waste an afternoon on TikTok.
> Wouldn't it be enough to send some small thing connected by thin wires or wirelessly to the submarine (lasers, ultrasound, whatever) that could aquire location and communicate it?

They do, using either tethered buoys or 'buoyant cable antennas' (the cable is the antenna and is itself buoyant) They can use these without coming to periscope depth, or even slowing down.
yep. That's not a very good sale :) One of them was trying to sell a truck with 1000 with of nitrogen in tires apparently. But I bet the sale would knock 500 off that.
As it should. Personally speaking, I flagged this thread, and I hope others do as well. There's nothing productive to be accomplished here, nor anything intellectually stimulating to discuss. So yeah, I'm totally for deleting/killing this entire post.
> For myself, LIDAR is actually the technology looking like it isn't panning out. It's not getting cheaper or more reliable.

This is just plain wrong. Lidar is getting cheaper by the year. They are now so cheap you’re starting see them in consumer vehicles from Volvo, Mercedes, Cadillac, Nio, XPeng, BYD, etc. Self driving companies have also slashed lidar costs drastically. Waymo, for example, had a 90% cost reduction for their 5th gen Lidar.

This is the opposite of a technology “not panning out”. It’s looking like Tesla is the outlier here because they made a bad bet.

> LIDAR autonomy isn't getting better nearly as fast as vision solutions are iterating.

Lidar autonomy is the only one proven to work without a driver, so this is a very strange take. We’re seeing robotaxi companies starting to expand driverless operations to big cities. Vision solutions are the only ones that still do not have a single driverless mile.

It seems like all your arguments fit into what you’re accusing others of — that you’re the one using lidar as a proxy for “not Tesla” and getting basic facts wrong.
First of all, they do hit stuff. Second, Lidar can measure both lanes and traffic and predict it. And Lidar will be 4D...

You seem under the mistaken impression that if I can't cite it, its not happening. This is why cascade failures cause so much mayhem and death. Because so many people subscribe to show me proof, and if there is no tangible proof because proof is a lagging indicator its not happening. This is a complete failure in any professional risk management.

This is like a dam collapsing, I'm pointing at a crack, and you are saying show me proof this crack will cause everyone in the valley below to die. Its a flawed way of thinking in many ways especially with fundamental things that we base our lives and welfare on (as a society). In engineering there is different criteria for evaluating risk with items that are safety-critical. This is safety critical.

The article itself craps on solar.
I think you are underestimating the cachet specific anchors have with their viewership, especially the over 50 crowd which constitutes most of CNN's viewership. Yes, you could find a competent and attractive person to fill the slot, but that would absolutely cause a nosedive in ratings. These places are not stupid. They would not continue to pay the absolute gob-premium sums of money to keep their top performing anchors if it was not showing up in the ratings, of course the talent matters very much.
Civilian nuclear power help share costs with the nuclear military industrial complex (e.g. Russia, France, UK, USA) and it's useful for countries that have a clear and pressing desire to be able to develop a nuclear bomb in a hurry (Sweden, South Korea, Japan), but without those caveats there isn't much point to it which is why nobody else builds it.

Its LCOE is 5x that of solar and between 1.5x-3x more expensive than solar/wind paired with just about all viable forms of green large scale storage (hydrogen, batteries, pumped storage (studies prove that unlike the river dams it is often confused with, geography for pumped storage is plentiful)).

Meanwhile tariffs like https://octopus.energy/agile/ reduces the need for that storage for easily shiftable demand sources like heaters/electric car batteries [edit in response to coldpie].

Pairing it with non-green gas is cheaper still, even in spite of the war. If up-front cost is your only concern, gas+solar+wind wins on all fronts.

It also takes ~20 years to build a nuclear plant, while new solar capacity can start taking meaty chunks out of current gas usage after 12 months. Given that western countries are between 40-60% gas powered these days and we don't have 20 years to avoid climate catastrophe, it leaves only two obvious choices of power source to decarbonize quickly - solar + wind.

I can agree with that in principle. The problem, though, is that all the mega corporations (Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, etc.) seem to have a singular hive mind and follow each other on things like this. As soon as Netflix eliminated the "Advanced Dungeons and Dragons" episode of Community, Hulu followed suit and did the same.

Example: https://www.belloflostsouls.net/2020/07/dd-netflix-and-hulu-...

All of this erodes your actual freedom to "look elsewhere" as the places you have to look become fewer and harder to find, and are sometimes actively shut out by other platforms like EBay and Amazon.
