Last time I looked at the comms protocol, it seemed possible to request up to 10 amps. I'm not sure there's a physical spec for a matching cable, but there's also no way for a cable to communicate its current limitations.
Yeah, but that's not really great for CI purposes. I want to have a good "source of truth" for binaries somewhere, and needing an account to update those binaries is unnecessarily limiting. So I have a different approach; I have one set of CI pipelines that builds a Qt SDK for a given project, then I can use the resulting SDKs in other pipelines. Easy to update, and you can get much smaller builds too.
Maybe they were laughing out of fear for their job.
Thank you for the term, I didn't knew about it.

Another very ironic example of that is this recent Reddit post [1], where the name "Nasser" was censored in-game to become "N***er", making it look much, much worse.

This blog post has some curious blind spots that, if taken into account, negate most of its primary thesis about 'the long peace'.

The focus of the post is two-fold: the recent outbreak of war in eastern Ukraine, in truncated form (the war has been going on at a low level since 2014, with militia forces supplied by Russia and Ukraine fighting one another in eastern Ukraine throughout that period), and a recommendation for a book about a naval battle in World War II. Hmm... what about Vietnam and Iraq?

This is pretty standard American exceptionalist propaganda-speak, as seen in corporate media and Hollywood: lots of material on WWII, and on today's conflict. It's obvious why neither Vietnam nor Iraq/Afghanistan are mentioned in the post, those being the largest post-war conflicts the US was involved in. The Vietnam War was in many ways the result of European colonial powers (France) to hold onto their colonial possessions post-WWII; the US could have supported Vietnam independence in 1945 but chose to allow France to try to seize control again, and then took over from the French under JFK's tenure, and spent about a decade killing Vietnamese people in a futile effort to keep the puppet South Vietnam government in power. There was also an element of Cold War proxy fight.

The Iraq War is even less defensible; the WMD claims were deliberate lies concocted by the CIA on the orders of the Bush Administration and supported by the UK's Blair government. Basically a class A war crime. Similarly, the debacles in Afghanistan (NATO-backed), and Libya (NATO-backed) don't get any scrutiny.

As far as nuclear weapons, well, they haven't stopped war, just pushed the conflicts into various proxy wars, as seen in the India-Pakistan border region. The architects and profiteers of war don't want to get nuked themselves, though they are quite happy to send kids off to die in these conflicts, so nuclear weapons are somewhat stabilizing, barring some accident or other.
So, not to come off as "these are good things" or anything, but you have to be able to see that "economic warfare" is preferable to "warfare warfare", right? It would obviously be better to have neither, but if I have to pick one, I know which one I'm going to pick, and I don't think it's unreasonable to characterize a switch from traditional warfare to economic warfare as "more peaceful" or even just "peaceful".

3) isn't really practical without some storage mechanism though. Sure, you can make a change that sits in ram until the next power cycle, but you could do that with firmware too if you plan for it. Whether you store the raw data in executable flash or in some external eeprom doesn't really change the workflow much.
Does it really take 15mins at a time to feel secure, or is my cat just reeeaallly insecure about his blanket?

If the polling was the bulk of the traffic they could just remove that feature.

And there's no way the compute burden is an entire dollar to do 4000 requests.
They're hard to capitalize. You need a skilled founder willing to forego profits, or a group of well intentioned devs with management experience, to organize the business side of things. You have to figure out non investment sources of income (charge for services, donations, etc. maybe no ads or at least no ad networks if you're worried about privacy or ethics). It's a lot of work, especially trying to scale that up to where you can actually pay employees salaries and benefits.

It's one thing to have an open source model for software that doesn't necessarily need that level of official organization, but once you start getting into backend infra costs, you can't run that on volunteer labor alone, you eventually have to fundraise for infra costs. If only there were a public or community driven internet... it's too bad the peer to peer models (federation, torrents, etc.) don't work well for real time global communications. Centralized messages are much easier to read and write to.

That doesn't mean such a model can't work or isn't good, it's just much harder, and all for no profit motive.

Realistically I could see a bunch of ex FANGers pooling income into a worker owned coop and starting a tech collective, then maybe handing it over to a 501c3 at some point or just keep it going as a private company without outside shareholders. But someone had to organize all that, and it's not the traditional strong suit of devs.

Fingers crossed though. Would love to see something like that happen.
The performance of the model can be improved with tweaks to the prompt, but the tweaks end up being model-specific. This is why "prompt engineering" exists for productionized use cases instead of people just spitting words semi-randomly into a textbox. Your old prompts probably won't completely fail but they'll behave differently under a different model.
The usb-c connector is rated to 5 Amps (A). Usb-c went up to 20V already. 5A * 20V = 100W (where we are).

We didn't want to change the connector. So we are stuck at 5A. But we can raise voltage & still have some margin. So voltage was raised to 48V. 5A * 48V = 240W.

As for raising the voltage more, it's likely very technically feasible, but probably not, for safety reasons. There are various levels of what is considered safe voltages. Higher voltages have higher ability to injure humans, to cause shock or potentially spark. Voltage is a unit of electrical potential, essentially how bad some juice is desperate to get out. 50V is the "Safe Extra Low Voltage" (SELV) limit for AC. It's actually 120V for DC but 48V/50V has a certain dislodgable-for-now mindshare. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extra-low_voltage

Connectors also have limits to their voltage isolation. If you have 1000V that electric potential really wants to get out & will arc across gaps. If there's debris or a worn connector, the threat of say 200V causing some short is much higher.

We probably could go higher. Usb-pd is super safe. When plugged in, it's in a very limited 5V state. This is a high risk moment in the connection life cycle, as pins are sliding into place, but partially connected & likely not aligned fully yet; not having any real voltage applied at this phase is a colossal design win against so so so many power delivery mechanisms in the world. Device & source _after being connected_ then have to negotiate power, on the secured connection. They ongoingly perform bounds checking to make sure the power is flowing in an expected way & will disconnect if out of spec. The connector has good isolation. 120v * 5a would be 600W and is still SELV. Add some thermal protection to the ports to make sure everything's OK there and it's probably going to just work. But any mishaps (ex: puncturing the cable, debris inside the device causing a short) would be more severe/scary. I'd love for some hackers to find out how high our connectors can go. Maybe in lab conditions we can get a usb-c connector doing a couple hundred volts fine. I would be unsurprised. Being safe for the real world though, after wear, and what happens when there is a fault is why we have SELV. But again, SELV says we could go up to 600W on this connector maybe.

One non-concern should be any additional heat, such as on cables & connectors. Since amps are still only 5A, the power loss is actually the same. Pretty great.
Honestly, I don't see why we should care that other people can't find our comments in the future. That's a lucky side-effect of how comments never expire rather than our intent when conversing online, and the permanence of our comments also causes a lot of problems like accidental oversharing to people we were never talking to in the first place.

Something Gen Z gets right is preferring to localize their friend group discussions in more ephemeral places like Discord.

HNers get mad that they can't google "best blender 2023 site:discord" but who cares. IMO it was an accident in the first place that all of our utterances online are broadcast to everyone for eternity when we're almost always only talking to a handful of people, and only for the moment.

Fair enough, NixOS doesn't completely solve this either (other than the aforementioned possibility to reference other parts of the system config and some integrity checks). I was just wondering if that's an area where more static checks are possible.

That sounds pretty good though, thanks! Maybe I'll try out Guix System some day.

it's called an isochrone.
>Whether or not you believe that the moderators are what makes reddit or that the users do so is only a subtle shift but it makes all the difference.

Moderators ARE users of Reddit. Drawing a line between "moderator" and "user" isn't the line that matters. The line that matters is "lurker/regular user" and "power user"

Moderators are power users. They're part of the small percentage of users that contribute a way outsized amount to Reddit by curating portions of it.

If the rule of thumb of online communities that 90% only lurk, and only 10% contribute, they're part of the 10%. That 10% is what makes Reddit work, period. Moderators use third party apps to aid in moderation, but a lot of power users just use third party apps because they are a lot less shitty. This ban ultimately targets all power users - the entire 10%.

>This is why this is such a dumb play.

I think the "play" you are referring to here is the idea of temporarily or permanently shuttering a subreddit.

But it's actually the opposite - if Reddit exercises their power resurrect subreddits (I think they could get away with the biggest ones like r/videos, but anything medium size and smaller no way) they lose, BIG TIME. And so many of these subreddits are participating they'd have to do it for hundreds of subreddits just to juke KPIs for their fail to launch IPO.

The idea that the users will just blame the mods is silly, as I said most of these blackouts were discussed at the subreddit level and the overall community sentiment is positive. And some of these people have been moderating these communities for years. You can't just replace them with randoms and expect the experience not to deteriorate.

Here is an example on a subreddit with 50k subscribers:

Not even safety requirements, going above 48V will start subjecting to your device to electrical code.
Yes, there exist many devices that support multiple charging rates. My phone allows the selection of 3 different wired charging speeds, as well as two different wireless charging speeds, selected in software.

Unfortunately, due to cost or incompetent engineering, most devices only accept either a few charging configurations, often just one.

I didn't realize this as my first laptop with USB-C ports could be charged with any USB charger, even a dumb 5v 500mA phone charger would eventually get the job done over a couple days. I just assumed everything was like this, but unfortunately not. A lot of laptops and cameras will refuse to draw any power at all unless they can negotiate certain configurations.
To be fair Codex was much better than GPT-3 on reasoning benchmarks like MMLU and the like. And people have kind of noticed the Code trained models to reason better. Don't know if a paper was published about that though.
This got my attention. I recall reading my World Book encyclopedia back when I was a kid in the 1950s for many, many absorbing hours. Tremendous enjoyment.

I see that Amazon's selling the 2023 edition for $1200 BUT World Book is selling the 2022 edition new for $500 and the 2021 edition new for $400. There are many eBay sellers offering the 2020 edition used for $300.

HIPPAA doesn't just cover, say, the spread of tuberculosis. It also bars things like collecting a panel of homosexuals, transgenders, women who are on birth control or have abortions, people seeking treatment for schizophrenia or a personality disorder or addiction, or just fat poor smucks that don't adequately treat their diabetes. Any number of highly stigmatized things or things that Palantir would love to own to sell to a private company.

I would start freaking the fuck out if my primary care physician gets to sell my diagnosis for money to Facebook, and I don't give a rat's ass if some 3 year old could've been cured of epilepsy if my doctor was able to do so. HIPPAA prevents my doctor from doing so and I'm glad for it.
> However, some characters require more than 1 byte in UTF-8; those characters might end up with as much as 4 tokens.

This would seem to raise an interesting "prompt golf" challenge: find a reasonable-sounding prompt that causes the language model to generate invalid UTF-8 in its output.

Absolutely - when me and my team spend $50k to experiment (which is chump change for a funded company) and it fails, that hurts. It's coming out of my pockets. And because of that, I remember it and my team remembers it.

But it's also allowed us to focus solely on the problems our customers actually have and will spend money for. It forces service/product-market fit before attempts to scale.

We are a services business so it is different than SaaS, but same principles apply.

There are benefits to bootstrap and benefits to funded. I feel as if bootstrapping first is a great way to learn the lessons needed to be successful when you do something funded later on.
I had Encyclopedia Britannica in the house as a kid and it was great to just open up a random volume and pick something to read about.

Yet they leak my medical records to debt collectors every single time, for debts that aren't even mine (when insurance refuses to pay for what they should).
I was watching one of the many videos on the Ukraine war the other day and they were postulating that the different groups were competing for war spoils so both don’t cooperate and actively try to get one of the other groups to weaken the defenses enough (while being destroyed) so they can just roll in and claim whatever is being fought over like a coal mine.

Makes sense as the video was about the Russians sending multiple waves of tanks into a kill zone with no change of tactics and getting completely wiped out every time.

I am a mod of r/portland. We use a 3rd party chat app and other web applications.

We also have custom tuned automod and other software to help out. A lot of the need for these services is because Reddit has failed to provide necessary tools in a timely way forever.

For example, our sub has been under brigade since the national news began focusing on it this past administration. The company did nothing for us, not even words of support.

The company has spurned volunteer mods long enough they have got whatever’s coming to them. It isn’t just an API people are upset about.

Anyway, the software tools for collaboration matter in moderation, but even more so it is a huge amount of work to keep a sub from going off the rails.

I’ve seen comments of people thinking it’s mostly power stuff and there are elements of that at play. But it doesn’t work day to day. Big subs that aren’t moderated constantly fall on hard times.

That would not mean "nuclear power does not work". That would mean "people do not want it, whether it works or not". Except here it's not "the rest of the country" but a bunch of unelected bureaucrats which 99% of the country doesn't even know exist, and certainly didn't ask them to do anything.

You started with claiming it "does not work", but ended with "it's bad investment because the government would destroy you". These are wildly different claims.

I used to think the library's utility was on an exponential decay, thanks to the internet.

Now, SEO spam has convinced me it's actually a bathtub curve, and is rapidly shooting back up.

This makes sense, historically. I'm sure there was a time when literally anything that had been printed on a printing press was worth reading.

I witnessed the time when anything that had been stored on a CD-ROM was worth reading, since generating CD-ROM worth of data, then producing them was ridiculously expensive (that time period lasted about 1-2 years).

Anyway, early internet, it was hard to publish stuff. As of this year, it's less expensive to write and publish stuff than it is to read it, so curated repositories that are hardened against spam are going to be important again.

Ya, quirkiness wise, Cybertruck is like the EV version of a Subaru Brat. Or maybe even a PT Cruiser.

I have no idea if it'll be a successful product. Not my taste, but I'm not the target market.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subaru_BRAT

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysler_PT_Cruiser

But from Tesla's presentations, the Cybertruck's impact on their manufacturing, designing the machine to make the machine, has been considerable. Like a demonstration platform.

Cybertruck's reduction in labor costs and part counts will be game changing. For instance, no body or paint shops, which entail 1/3rd of the production cost (IIRC).

Assuming the next two passenger vehicle models follow suit, I have zero doubt Tesla will hit their 20m/year production targets. And make a brazillian dollars doing it.
Same with Microsoft Encarta
It's not really the thickness of the cable, is it? The constrained part, that has to stay the same regardless of what cable you buy, is the thickness of the pins on the connector. Where, presumably, any resistive heat from that connection is dumped into the body of the device being charged (just like resistive heat from operating a 1600W space heater with a big, thick extension cable gets dumped into your the electrical box behind the socket it's plugged into.)
