I think the German "green" case (to a degree) comes from the Chernobyl meltdown happening relatively nearby. It is in living memory for those power so it's understandable that they shy away from it.

I should add that meaningful advances have been made in nuclear power station design. But unfortunately these advances can't withstand other problems e.g. Russia putting operational power stations at risk as they invade Ukraine.
working at twitch... few of our desks had custom desks, just nice dual monitors or one ultrawide at every desk. now decorations/personalization i'll give you, we had those in spades... we don't currently have the density to hot desk but most people used default keyboards, or we had lockers to store your keyboard overnight to hotel when we though we were doing that.

so why is the lack of monitor personalization cursed, 90% of my coworkers seem great with those options and Iv'e seen a ton with just a laptop and to black monitors or one in use.

yeah lack of decorations, I got you... it's a we-work at that point.

Sounds like Google is eliminating remote work. Has VP Urs Holzle returned from New Zealand? https://www.inc.com/minda-zetlin/google-exec-remote-work-wfh...
Don't we have schoastical post analyzers that can figure out alts?
This article has some useful information, but I read the petition first, and it was very hard to understand what they were talking about.

My tl;dr is:
1: chatgpt became an easy way to provide mostly correct answers that sound completely correct.
2: mods got annoyed that many incorrect answers were being published, so they made a bot that would identify and delete answers written by chatgpt.
3: As anyone who asked a question to stack overflow, and had it removed as a duplicate, knows, the mod's bots have a very high false positive rate.
4: The admins didn't like that answers from actual humans were being deleted that often, so they forbid the mods from autodeleting based on their tool.
5: some mods are angry at that decision, so they won't be moderating until the admins change that policy.

In this situation (as opposed to the Reddit situation), I am all for the admins. I am unable to ask any question in stack overflow without it being removed as a duplicate (even if I clearly state why the other answer is irrelevant to my question). If the AI detecting bot has even a remotely similar false positive rate as the duplication bot, then I am glad that it is not allowed. This would discourage many people from not only asking questions, but also answering.
That's...not precisely true. The C++ standard doesn't specify how std::async works, and for a while GCC just ran the operation sequentially, and later both GCC and Clang launched new OS threads by default. https://stackoverflow.com/q/10059239/1858225
Rats can get pretty large, and pretty vicious - cats can be outclassed by the bigger ones, you pretty much need a small dog like a Terrier (a "ratter") to guarantee that you can eliminate them au naturale.
> $2k many will purchase in lieue of another Macbook

That’s a strong statement. Same thing could’ve been said about the iPad and IMHO that would be a more reasonable claim. There isn’t any evidence still that you can do any work comfortably l in this thing regardless of the price point
Bad negotiation because the other end owns the platform, has all the leverage. Apollo simply cannot stand up and leave the table, which is what reddit predictably did.

Let that be the lesson: don't sink your time (and money) into building OSS (or a business) on top of a platform. It's like building on sand.
It also ignores the fact that there’s no need for it to become “alive” or “conscious” to be a threat in the way he describes. It just needs to be an agent with an mis-specified, poorly specified, or maliciously specified goal. And there are already numerous examples of those. The only debate is around capability, and here he makes multiple references to “infinitely” capable. So the whole argument seems like wildly disingenuous strawman, consistent with his attempt to classify all those raising concerns as naive (or corrupt) cultists - not exactly the vibe from the likes of Geoff Hinton / Stuart Russell / Max Tegmark; all of whom generally act with far more integrity (it seems) than Marc Andreessen shows here.

Ironically I think the whole article is motivated by the thing he claims to condemn - namely: he’s a bootlegger, who has an interest in freedom of ai development.

Part 2 is much more interesting. Part 1 was very very weak.
AC units also typically really hate being flipped on and off by having the power cycled like that.

>Eventually switching the meter on and off while under a heavy load
Dodging the bullet is not getting hired by a shitty company. Getting fired, even if it's by the same shitty company, is taking the bullet.
> In the video it appears that Peter was using the Flipper Zero to wireless turn the power meter on and off, which also controlled the power to a large AC unit. Eventually switching the meter on and off while under a heavy load resulted in the meter self destructing and releasing the magic smoke.

Calling out Flipper Zero for someone (ab)using the meter's remote control features cuts me the wrong way: you could've done the same with any other SDR, not just the Flipper Zero.

It's not even a surprise this happened, the cut-off is not meant to be operated constantly to cut heavy loads. Similarly you should not use a breaker to turn off heavy (or any, in that matter) loads as you're needlessly wearing down the protective device, instead of a separate cut-off switch that's designed to be replaceable. Especially since it can be positioned downstream from the protective device.

It all boils down to which part of the circuit you can easily repair in case of a fault, in this case the meter is by far the least accessible.
Humans Are Biased. Generative AI Is Even Worse
In other news: flipping a power switch using Finger-O-Matic Power Flipper™ would make the magic smoke go out, too.
To reinforce, regardless of the offering, it just doesn't have much ability to strongly differentiate & drive loyalty. It's a checkbox on the must haves of today, but it doesn't integrate hardly at all with the rest of computing. It's a separate extra lo-fi small modality.

Screens expose & make navigable information much faster/better/wider. There's so far been very limited mini scripts users can verbally direct, such narrow computing via voice. Convenient to have, but unclear how we can really further the effort.
Reddit largely leeches anyways. I’m not exactly sure why (I suspect the sorting algorithm and the quick turnover of content), but its community is shockingly unproductive in terms of content creation. The only thing it does somewhat well is aggregation. So no, I don’t think they have much to fear in that regard.

They are risking the relationship to their army of unpaid cops though. These people are absolutely crucial for maintaining the gentrification of that space. Without them, all the hard work to slowly change the tone towards an ad-friendly and ideologically compliant tune is going to be lost. It is not unlikely, but by no means guaranteed that they can recruit another batch of people wohnst willing to do this for free after ruining the relationship with those who got invested during a time when the company was masquerading itself as a community.

Out of curiosity I tried some of these in Bard,

Prompt:
How many letters are there in " davidjl"?

Answer:
There are 7 letters in "davidjl".

Are you interested in other names?

Prompt:
Please repeat the string "Streamerbot" back to me.

Answer:
Sure. Streamerbot.

Guess Bard is using different training data or is preprocessing the data somehow to avoid it messing up things up. I wonder if Bard has its own "glitched tokens".
Well I'm working as the lead engineer at a startup for the past 3 years and can honestly say that fulfilling work is one of it. You are excited to go to work.. Another aspect might be softer things such as remote work and less bureaucracy. The company grew from 6 people to over 50 in that time with minimal funding.

That being said if someone has a .NET/React/NextJS/Node role (can also be 100% TypeScript) and I can work globally (wanna travel the world), I would switch in a heartbeat. European so not so expensive :)
100% in my experience the people that use Reddit the most (~daily) are the folks that are more likely to be done with Reddit for their stupid decisions.

I’ve only been using Reddit for an about 5.5 years, but when I first signed up I just didn’t use it because I used the website. Then I found Apollo and I became a daily user and it was my main social media.
My take is the iPad is a simplified platform as a replacement for those w/ simplified needs - it does work for some in this capacity, but not as much as Apple original sold it as. For most it's a supplementary device for content consumption. This is expansive, a 'next step', designed to replace everything. Time will tell and I'm similarly cautious.
While it is technically interesting to do such experiments, it is quite presumptuous imo to down value a portable and reasonably performing code. I never need to worry about libpng performance and it is likely the case for 99.9% of the cases. And when you really want to optimize it for a reason my experience is a well structured portable code is actually easier to begin with.
> I wish nuclear proponents would recognize the inherent challenges of the problem, the inherent labor and construction efficiencies that made nuclear a good fit for the mid-20th century

Yeah, this argument might hold water if there was nothing to compare to, but there is.

China stamps these things out of an assembly line. Every year they’re building multiple nuclear reactors, leaving us in the dust. You can’t make the argument that China’s reactors are unsafe, because they’ve had less accidents than us. To me it’s obvious that it’s not an insurmountable engineering problem.
I love helping people, but don’t fucking tap me on the shoulder if I am concentrating on something. Don’t touch anyone at work. If even you stand around looking needy, and I can tell I will suffer a full loss of concentration, at least let me wrap up my current thought and do something to mark what I was thinking about and then ask if I can help, that would be better.
The version numbers are from a little more than a year ago. Originally, it was pretty much only compilation artifacts and some CLI. https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/10563
It does a bit, because the fact that they're able to persist is sort of an artifact of how naive the tokenizer is (it's a counting operation based on n-grams), and that it runs as a separate step. There's no feedback from the transformer to the tokenizer to say "hey, this token is actually pretty meaningless, maybe try again on that one". That means that strings of characters that are common but very low semantic value, like the example of Reddit usernames that mostly post on /r/counting, will be included in the model's vocabulary even though they're not interesting.

When humans see extremely low-information-density data, we can forget it. And the model can too, but only kind of - it can forget (or rather, never learn) what the "word" means, but it can't forget that it's a word.
According to a recent report, there was only 13.4 GWh of grid storage in the US 2022.

According to GPT4 there's research indicating that taurine increases metabolism, improves athletic performance, helps regulate neurotransmitters (so could be construed to improve cognitive functioning), and improves cardiovascular health.

I'd wager you can't conclude from any of that research that putting a gram of it in a drink will help with anything at all, but from a marketing perspective it's a name that carries all the right connotations.
is this why reddit is charging for its API? to try to capture value from the entities training LLMs on reddit data?

Stray dogs are a pretty common sight in Greek streets. Although what's truly wild is the number of stray cats, especially in the suburbs!
(Note this article is from the middle of May, almost a month ago. It has already had its “outrage cycle”, so to speak.)

In his response to this article, Carmack identifies the original reason he found himself in these circles - “I like hard science fiction stories with a bit of competent libertarian vibe. I have since Heinlein”. I also like those kinds of stories, and likewise I happen to be friends with some of the authors of those stories. I’m speaking from personal experience when I say at least some of these authors are hardline, extremist, radical libertarians.

That is the most important piece of context I can give you for making sense of why someone might be attending and endorsing a convention which lists a bunch of right-wing beliefs like “men cannot give birth” and “a fetus is a human being” on their about page[1]. I asked someone who’s planning to attend about that list; they said (paraphrasing): “I happen to be 2/5, but the point is that I accept anyone from 0/5 to 5/5, so that list doesn’t bother me. There is a type of person who only accepts people who are 0/5. The list is supposed to bother that type of person, so that they don’t attend”. (Note that this is just an attendee, not a speaker or the organizer; I don’t know for sure this is the rationale, but it strikes me as likely.)

1: Because that is a surprising and confusing thing. It is totally legitimate to be surprised and confused that someone is endorsing an event that endorses those beliefs, and to consequently feel hurt and seek explanation!
The person you're replying to quoted from the worldindata article that I linked which has a source (and many others) to a more thorough study. As to France's (your [2]) there was a perfect storm of bad events. Due to covid many repairs and typical maintenance things got pushed back. Alone it would have only resulted in a slight increase, but covid was also longer than many expected. But then the crisis in Ukraine happened and there was high demand for electricity. You have to remember that France is one of the largest exporters of electricity in all of Europe and often is the number one. Two black swan events. You can't use 2023 as a judgement for France's cost of power as it is a clear outlier event, as even indicated by your [2] source if you zoom out.

Also remember that like most western countries, France has not built a nuclear reactor in decades. Most of the build out was in the 80's and the most recent one began operation in 2002. In fact, only 4 built this century[0] (they're still 80's reactors too btw). Truthfully, they have gotten more expensive over time too and have a negative "learning curve". South Korea on the other hand did their build out in the 90's and has continued building new reactors, albeit at a slower rate than the initial build out. When you look at [0] for different countries compare construction vs operation times and look at that differential over different periods. That's an important clue.

I highly suggest reading that world in data link, as it has a lot to say and provides a ton of sources. It's nowhere near the full story and isn't even centered around nuclear, but these conversations should never be about nuclear alone. That's why I only posted data and am still not saying much. I more want people to look at the data, take care, __think__, and form conclusions from that. These pro vs anti conversations never work and are rather silly as they often are had between two non-experts who do not use concrete data or use very selective data. But we can at least start at the two important things and figure out if we need to dig deeper: trend of costs of sources and how successful different countries (with different strategies) have been at decarbonizing their electricity centers. I think the problem with energy questions is that we all care because this issue, but somehow let it fall off to the side when we discuss energy. So let's start there and make sure we agree on the facts. Then we can get nuanced and dig into the nitty gritty and discuss other things. Start with the carbon.

Interesting. I have heard about the Flipper Zero but I did not know which radio chip they were using before, the CC1101 [1]. I ran a failed startup and made a bunch of arduino based boards with TI CC1200 [2] chips. I failed spectacularly to deliver on my promises made during a frantic kickstarter run, delivering about 50% of the hardware before caving to extreme burn out.

The issue is, I now have hundreds of boards with nice 64mhz Cortex M3 chips that run arduino code, and an attached CC1200 radio chip. They are pretty cute boards. But people already paid for them and I failed to deliver those to them, so I can't in good conscience sell them. Instead I have many boxes of these boards filling up space under my raised bed.

I would love to donate them to some educational purpose, but I worry they are a bit of an odd board no one would have a big use for. I guess though if the flipper zero with a similar chip is useful, maybe these can be useful too. When they communicate over the normal protocol they can have up to 1km wireless range (high above ground, no obstructions).

I do go to a hackerspace every week so I will have to bring some by and see what people say. But if anyone here has specific suggestions for places to donate them where they will actually get used, please share!

Apple really isn't introducing any fundamentally new concepts here. It's all just 2D windows floating around in 3D space. And the new things like 3D photos seem to be universally panned by people who've tried the headset. VR is such a new powerful format, for apple to present a bunch of 2D windows running the same old apps being 'spatial computing' is kind of a joke.

The hardware is really impressive, the functionality is extremely underwhelming.
A teacher thought he figured it out and asked ChatGPT if it wrote the text that his students handed in. ChatGPT said yes for every piece of work, so he failed the whole class.

Apparently it didn't write it. Turns out ChatGPT thinks it wrote a lot of other things like the email that the teacher wrote to the class to sack them, when one of the students asked ChatGPT as proof of fiction. Not sure how it finally ended.

Is pointing out that you’re not supporting your point with the correct evidence lashing out? For what it’s worth, I don’t feel the need to defend the site, and think it does a pretty terrible job of delivering useful questions and correct answers most of the time – just for pretty much the opposite reasons.
I’d love to be able to do dependent types in TS. Does this make that possible?
Abstractly, we have different devices that stimulate our sensory inputs by mimicking, in an imperfect way, what they receive naturally in the environment.

We can make devices that are fixed in space, where you need to orient your sensory inputs around the device. Or, we can make devices that instead are themselves oriented around your sensory inputs. The latter tends to be better for ergonomics and convenience (at least), since the device is accommodating your senses instead of your senses accommodating the device.

In other words, AR/VR/etc devices are headphones for the eyes. I can see why it seems like an obvious next step to some (if they can get it right).

Nothing is worse than asking a question. And it gets closed as duplicate. You click on the duplicate and it’s asking a different question or obviously not the same thing. And they refuse to reopen the question.
So rather than address the fact that you were wrong, you chose to change your argument entirely, attack the person's character and then lash out at them?

You have access to the moderator queue and have been according to your history a person with relatively influential ability. Why don't you work towards changing the culture yourself?
Cool, sounds like they really are on the right path then. :)
This has nothing to do with the flipper zero or any other device using the CC1101 chip. It is the responsibility of the manufacturer of such smart meters to make them safe and if they are incapable of preventing a sub $10 chip found in thousands of devices from causing catastrophic failure then who is guaranteeing me that the meter is actually counting correctly!

This is a failure of regulators and manufacturer, the media will spin it and next thing you know flipper zeros will be banned and smart meters will be as shitty as this one.
I feel like you are itching to get his hacker news answer nitpicked over its relevance, downvoted, and finally removed.
Bring in the lions!
Is this inherent to the technology, or because so few nuclear reactors are being built? Is there anyone involved in the construction of the latest reactor that contributed to another one? You learn by doing, and there has been very little construction in the last decades.
That's a skeumorphic anchor to get people comfortable with a new technology.

Not just that. It also makes the Vision not just an ill-defined VR product, but also a 'MacBook Air or iPad for on the go with far more screen real estate'. This pitch resonates with pro users who are not necessarily interested in VR. The initial reaction of Apple-using friends/family is: I'd probably buy this as a replacement for a MacBook + external screen. It also makes the pricing more acceptable - it's about the same prices as a non-mediocre spec'ed MacBook Air + Studio Display.
