Certainly. That's one way, but also poorer people own older cars.

An argument that rests on equality should support the idea that all people deserve the same car irrespective of how much money they have.

Yeah, this backlash is really weird. The only time where generative AI images are appropriate in an article is when the article is actually about generative AI, and Nature isn't banning that. What's the problem?
Do you take the position that there is no role / need whatsoever for a court in the United States that needs to hear confidential matters having to do with law enforcement, where to reveal it to the subject would compromise the investigation?

I think your desire to paint it as some evil government bogeyman + some philosophy that everything should be open is over simplistic and honestly a little naive in how a country needs to defend itself.

Now I am no fan of all that the FISA court has allowed. There are legitimate criticisms of how the lack of transparency has allowed some rubber stamping of investigations without good adversarial oversight.

But to fundamentally assert that such a court should not exist is a bit ridiculous.

You might as well suggest that every time before knocking down the door of a drug dealer, the drug dealer's attorney must be notified and get a chance to argue against the search warrant in front of the issuing judge, because in a couple of cases, they knocked on the wrong person's door.

If we're talking about individual out-of-context quotes, I don't think it's correct to separate the art from the artist. Human language is very imprecise, and knowing the author of a quote can significantly change the meaning of a sentence.

I'm just going to make up an example: let's say the quote in question is "Democracy requires active participation." If I saw this posted by an anonymous internet commenter in a political discussion, I would completely agree. The obvious interpretation is that democracy works better when people vote, speak to your representative, organize, etc.

Now let's say the commenter reveals that this is a quote from a presidential assassin. Well, now I'm a little uncomfortable. Why did they choose this particular quote? Do they agree with the assassin's fringe definition of "active participation"? The intended meaning has completely changed with this new information. The identity of the author is part of the message, because we aren't talking about objectively true or false statements, we're talking about philosophical ideas that are much bigger than the quote provided.

How did you came to that conclusion? In my experience, sysvinit comes with less bloat, and hangs randomly much less than systemd. I've worked with both old debian (sysvinit) and current centos (systemd) systems, and if I had a problem with init, it was always with systemd. If something related to disks or user login sessions fails, with sysvinit most of the time things proceed promptly, while with systemd, you're in for a waitfest/eternal hang.

Systemd seems to be propelled by distro packagers and developers, but for admins/users, it's not that great.
This 100%. Free public parking in NYC is the elephant in the room that no one wants to address. Tolls won’t fix that. In some areas of the outer boroughs, 40% of the traffic at any given time are people looking for a spot. The city also still hasn’t figured out utilization of the curb for deliveries and drop offs resulting in normalized double-parking almost everywhere. Curb space need to be efficiently priced and this would fix a host of issues — same goes for outdoor dinning, otherwise its value will be captured by landlords anyways.

A reminder that the software has been buggy for years and Tesla is somehow being allowed to "beta test" it in public among people who did not consent to the risk.
Yep. The way commissioners react when I deliver the files and they hear what I made for them for the first time tells me AI has a long way to go. I'm not sure it can replace that human connection. There's plenty of solid, cheap, and sometimes even free library music out there if you just want music of some sort for a project, and no generative music I've heard comes close to it.

Do you have proof of this? Who is to say we aren't anthropomorphizing other humans? They're just manipulating electrical charges after all.

Phrased another way, if LLMs actually did manipulate concepts, how would their performance differ? What is a tangible example of the former and of the latter?

Yes, I think it's pretty clear (though yes, a lawyer can bring anything up). The basis is the propriety code case I mentioned which has been well litigated over the decades, its clear definition of "derived work" (in particular for the ToS case, not calling into it) and the implication of derivation vs clean room (discussed by others in this thread).

When people try to attack the GPL in court it's typically over it being a contract of adhesion, enforceability, or applicability of calling into it (none of which are an issue in this discussion). The aspects I mention above are too well trodden.

But they don't have to choose Debian.

If Debian had maintained a strict "Free" stance, people could still use their troublesome hardware out-of-the-box simply by picking another distro that did include non-Free firmware in the installer. There are plenty of them. Like, 99% of all other distros.

Not all distros have to be everything to everyone. It's OK to have a niche.
Careful what you ask for Barracuda: we were already looking at replacing ours with non-Barracuda hardware and now that you are saying old gear cannot be updated all I can say is thank you for making my case to my managers.
Hmm, the latest article [1] specifically about the California authorization says:

> When active, Mercedes takes responsibility for Drive Pilot's actions.

and

> "Mercedes-Benz Drive Pilot is the world's only SAE Level 3 system with internationally valid type approval," Mercedes CTO Markus Schäfer said in a statement.

Not as clear-cut as you'd want it to be but certainly leaning towards the claim. I guess we'll know for sure once the cars actually go on sale in California.

#1 has high focus more due to impact than high probability.

#2 doesn't seem talked about much at this point and seems to be pivoting more to #3. #2 never had much of a compelling argument given auditability.

#3 gets mainly ignored due to Luddite assumptions driving it. I'm dubious myself over the short term - humans will have absolute advantage in many fields for a long time (especially with robotics lagging and being costly).

#4 is risky, but humans can adapt. I see collapse as unlikely.
I don't really understand your point.

Tesla letters to CA DMV claim they don't participate because their system isn't a self-driving system. Which is fine, other than they're telling customers it is at the same time.

Yikes, please don't post like this here. It's badly against the site guidelines.

If other people are wrong, the thing to do on HN is to respectfully and patiently explain how they are wrong, and to provide correct information. That way we can all learn something. If you don't want to do that, or don't have time, that's fine - but in that case please don't post until you do. Keep in mind that you're talking to thousands of readers and your impact on that silent audience is more important.

But at the risk of aligning mirrors to other mirrors and hollowing out the essence of it. Computers have been essential to the evolution of modern music, AI won’t evolve it anywhere because it needs to mirror the human work, and without people to do that it’s a sad dead end. But I doubt people will stop learning instuments and stop making music the old way because it is too fun and meaningful to do that. But there’s a possibility it will shift in magnitude in either direction. Hope to go the way chess did and not press a button and a few faders and call it music.

I worked on the technical implementation of one of the London Congestion Charge contracts many years ago.

It was a huuuuuuge loss for IBM to implement, but I think their position was "we make a loss here, but then just need to do a search-and-replace for "London" to New York/Paris/Tokyo/Los Angeles and profit!" (I.e. no significant extra development). Suffice to say that didn't happen - it was built with zero customisation in mind. I personally blame it on the insistence that SAP was to be used for processing payments etc.

I don’t feel comfortable with these comparisons because I think Apple designs their SoCs specifically for the software they expect to be most used on their devices. I noticed, for example, that an older iPadPro with an A series SoC compiled Swift code in Playground twice as fast as my then current beefy Intel MacBook Pro. Similar design for running specific neural network architectures, handling their displays, etc.

A few days ago I was thinking of getting a beefy Mac Studio for deep learning since M1 and M2 are now fairly well supported. I didn’t because this felt like swimming up river, using something not as it was designed to be used. (I decided to use $10 or $50/month Google Colab instead).
Less that 1 GB... that's impressive! Now I'm wondering how much memory Go or Java would require.
Yes, there is. AMD has desktop chips with the same TDP as Mac laptops. The latest series of AMD chips are more powerful and more power-efficient.

I think power efficiency by itself is a laudable goal, but the idea that other chipmakers don't optimize this doesn't make sense...you have to if you are building a laptop. A lot of the desktop chips are ludicrously overtuned, even AMD's chips, but the laptop chips have to be power-efficient due to the limitations on cooling.

I would look in particular at the AMD APUs that are being used in handheld devices. Unlike Mac's chips, which promised much but delivered little, they are actually delivering desktop GPU-tier (in the range of 1050/1060) performance in a 20W package and under.

I'll never understand why their attack against skimmers was to put a giant molded piece of plastic over the slot which doesn't even look like its attached to the rest of the machine anyway and can easily be removed of sheathed with a skimmer.

Surely the correct attack would be to make the slot as flush and minimal as possible without indentation so to hide a skimmer the entire front of the machine would need to be faked.
1. Except some ISPs did eventually cutoff access to the alt.* hierarchy. Some terminated their NNTP service entirely.

2. That case is not related to the 1934 Communications Act and neither are the other two cases you cited. You’re thinking of the Communications Decency Act which is a separate law with the famous Section 230 clause, but Title I and Title II are different parts of the 1934 statute passed by Congress under which the FCC claims its legal authority, and who they regulate and how they may do so.

3. Briefly under the Obama administration until they were reclassified again under the Trump administration, but I addressed it because of what you said here:

> ISPs are a common carrier and never really moderated the content of newsgroups on usenet.

Re: DNS

DNS is probably a core service. Yes there are third parties but if I had to supply my own DNS service, an Internet service provider would not be a very good Internet service provider seeing as how their core function is access to the Internet. I’d like to see how long an ISP would last without providing customers with a DNS resolver though, that could be fun.

> ISPs so far have never had separate line items for bundled services in their bill. Not for usenet, not for email, not for DNS. I don't see that changing in the foreseeable future.

Telephone, cable, home security and various streaming services they either own or have relationships with. Comcast even has an MVNO. We don’t live in a world where most ISPs are merely ISPs and a lot of them repurpose that infrastructure to provide other services. We don’t have to talk about ISPs in a vacuum.

Also remember the original context of my first comment in this chain. I was responding to this:

> I think that's what we're missing here. If we simply paid for this stuff as part of our regular internet bill again, we could solve a lot of the "nothing works for free" problems.

I’ve re-read that a few times and wondered if I misread the spirit of this text and whether I should have replied the way I did or not, but independent of whether I have or not, please read what I wrote with the appropriate context when you respond. I wasn’t addressing whether ISPs did something, I was addressing the appeal of being billed this way vs on my credit card without the additional layer of obfuscation.

Put another way: ISPs trying to do anything but give me Internet for money = bad; so a USENET or USENET-like service but at a much larger scale as a service provided by ISPs = unappealing. We have a million social networks and even communities with paid memberships. When AT&T cut off USENET access in 2008, it wasn’t just because they were being threatened with legal action over hosting child pornography on their NNTP servers, USENET had in their estimation declined past the point of return and it was no longer worth providing to their customers, particularly with a changing legal landscape that put them further at risk for continuing to provide it.

There will never be a sequel to or rebirth of USENET at social media scale without moderation.
I thought the whole idea of M2 was “exceptional product given the power consumption”.

I don’t mind that it has nothing to show for all the talk once you throw out the need to basically sip power (like a notebook computer).

Is this something inherent with ARM though? Why can’t there be ARM based desktop and server computers that need a kilowatt of power at peak? Like how much more performance can you get for each additional watt of power? (I don’t know. I’m genuinely asking.)
I haven't lived in California for decades now, was renewable energy ever promised as a solution to lower electricity bills or only as an environmental imperative?
Technicolor is one of those technologies where, with enough money and determination, someone did something for which the technology wasn't really ready.

Something similar happened with color TV.[1] Early color TV cameras were as big as Technicolor cameras. Same 3-channel concept, with a splitter prism, filters, and a camera tube for each color. The camera tubes were image orthicons.[2] The whole setup was insanely complicated, had hundreds of adjustment potentiometers, and took hours to get set up and stable.

On the display side, the first good theater-scale projection TV system was Eidiphor.[3] As with the cameras, the system was big, complicated, expensive, and required three of everything. Eidophor was developed in 1939, and nothing better came along until the 1990s.

Providers often just ban all crypto mining. I think it might be because of pressure from authorities fighting money laundering.
Or memory slots, or dual/quad socket capability, or compatibility with the GPU card for previous gen Mac Pro. You get one multicore ARM SoC with 192GB of on-package L4 cache and integrated graphics, and that’s it.

While 192GB of RAM is more than I would need, for people looking to use 1.5TB of RAM and a pair of NVIDIA GPU they had from previous model, they’d have to go elsewhere.

Which leaves me wondering; how much engineering at Apple are happening on Mac?
Shareholders bought Intel as a continued bet on home computing being relevant. Investors were already wary ever since AMD's Ryzen put them back on the map for x86, but the M1 had a big marketing wave that it demolished confidence in Intel stock. It's not the investment it was 10 years ago, and part of the security is gone.

On the other hand though, Pat Gelsinger has done a pretty good job holding the reigns at Intel so far. Their expansion into ARM fabrication, aggressive node timeline and GPU lineup gives me hope for the future, and the datacenter still feels very Intel-oriented from my perspective. It would be very difficult for them to squander every foothold they have today.
> best of class NVIDIA discrete GPU offering

Those are nvidia's best consumer GPUs. I think the cheese grater falls into the pro segment. In that segment nvidia has the A6000s with 48GB VRAM and 91 SP TFlops compared to the 4090's 24GB and 73 SP TFlops. But that costs as much as the Mac Pro alone. And even bigger options (segmented for server/datacenter use) are available.
HN would not fit into any definition of centralized discussion forums I would use.

To my mind HN is in that classic genre of single focus communities with a deep history of being the place to go to discuss topic X.

It fits in next to sites like flyertalk, woodweb, bodybuilding.com and a million more.

I think the web was definitely better when every topic had its own little community and if Reddit imploded tomorrow and that happened again I would be thrilled.
