Really interesting setup they have there, I had no idea. Seemingly Stack Exchange runs the actual infrastructure and provides compute/storage, but all the rest is operated by a separate 501(c)(3) nonprofit which at any time can pack up their stuff and migrate:

> Subject to Section 8, should MathOverflow wish to migrate its data outside of the Stack Exchange network, Stack Exchange shall, within thirty (30) days of receipt of a written request from MathOverflow, provide MathOverflow with a complete and current database that contains all the data necessary to recreate MathOverflow on MathOverflow's own servers and software. Following such transfer, Stack Exchange will cease all use of the MathOverflow database.

You're still driving, so it doesn't take any time. And not only can it lead to bug fixes, it can be cathartic to complain.
Seems like it would be easy enough - you register your car, each model has an average and max decibel rating. Your congestion charge includes a factor for that - Harley's pay a bigger markup and EVs pay next to nothing for that particular thing.

Can they read? Probably yes. Will they read? Probably not.

Even if the money is lit on fire, the reduction in cars entering the city will be a huge benefit.
That is what is happening now. Critics of this idea are just repeating the same arguments that where used against PV too.
Maybe that analogy isn't clear enough. I hope you don't mind if I try again: We could tell black people that it's okay that they can't trust police. They should just avoid contact with them. There are alternatives for personal security.

Got a copy we can read? Sounds interesting
I agree with your points, but I don’t think they undermine congestion pricing. Even if you take all the congestion tolls and, like, toss them in the Hudson River, the program is still worthwhile. Just getting people to pay to drive into Manhattan is good in-and-of-itself.
Not all fuel cells use platinum, and those that do use very small amounts of it: https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/bosch-ev-fuel-cells-less-...

Depends what you mean by "local".

But for journeys over 20km there is nothing like trains for efficiently moving vast numbers of people.
It's interesting to see the results and the potential this has to shift entire industries.

I just asked it "Best hotels in Cancun" it gave me a one paragraph answer ( https://pasteboard.co/3mfxo5cC2BEc.png )

"Great choice! Cancun has many excellent accommodation options that cater to different preferences and budgets. In terms of luxury resorts, consider checking out Le Blanc Spa Resort or Grand Fiesta Americana Coral Beach Cancun. For more affordable yet still highly rated options, I suggest Hotel Casa Mexicana or Dreams Puerto Aventuras Resort & Spa. Let me know if you want me to suggest any activities near these hotels as well."

No ads, like Google's early years. But the temptation seems too great, for these results not to be 'influenced' in some shape or form by travel portals or hotels themselves.

What's going to happen to search engines. I mean, it's not clear if the results are scraped or obtained through an API. But this is front-running Google, Google did it themeselves to hotel sites -- who have to pay ads -- but I don't see Google not protecting this market.

So many things going on here to shake things up. SEO is another thing, will there be a AI-SEO, where the model is fed crap reviews to raise certain results.
That sounds very much like "created partly using generative AI" to me.

The die area matters in terms of how much performance you can still get out of it when lowering the power to match up with the (not actually) more efficient integrated chip.

> We have subway lines & trains wired up for 1 man operation but run them staffed with 2 due to union work rules.

It's a city of 8M people. What's the difference between 1 and 2 here, really?
Only a fraction of the US population work and thus commute. Of those that commute, that 80% do not have equal road usage. Even within that community, there is a subsidy going on. So, yes, there is a ton of subsidization going on (and this is not always bad)

> Drivers simply pay for their road use through various taxes, and not directly.

I think this is the point, notably because those 'indirect' payments are also payed by non-drivers as well. Hence, the subsidy.

Even within drivers, some are subsidized by others (let alone non-drivers). To illustrate, first: most road wear is from weather [1]. This means any two lengths of similar roads will have about the same upkeep cost regardless of usage (not quite true, but if taking 30 people vs 300, it's about true).

Let's consider 10 miles of road to suburb A with 30 drives, and 10 miles of different but similar road to suburb B with 300 drivers. The city will pay for upkeep of 20 miles, collecting various taxes from 330 people, and those taxes are then spent evenly across those 20 miles. To do this proportionately, without any subsidies, the group of 300 could arguably have those various taxes reduced for them only by 90% and increase the taxes of the 30 people 9 fold. That would be an equitable upkeep system.

The fact the road upkeep payment per person is not equitable, means there is a subsidy (and this situation is not always a bad thing)

The main problem is that malware can leverage UPNP to do real harm. A smaller secondary problem is that UPNP doesn't work well on large corporate networks (something about the "chattiness" of so many messages).

Browser permissions to open up a port through UPNP is the "easy" part. The hard part is how your router will distinguish that as a legitimate request, versus local botnet malware opening up a request. There are some extensions around UPNP to add user authentication as part of the process, but they don't seem to be widely adopted. To the contrary, general security recommendations are usually to disable UPNP.

I had thought that videoconferencing would indeed finally be the impetus to solve this in a secure way, but meetings with much more than 2 participants require a centralized server anyways to prevent bandwidth from exploding, so relaying video calls through a server just became standard.
Yes! That is often significant. Sometimes worse than half performance, or it will suck the battery dry fast enough to seriously increase battery life decay.

Re: Singapore - Have you ever been to Singapore -- _ALL_ their public transport/flow control systems are #1 in the world IMO ;

* The roads are pristine

* The take city planning to the next level (anecdote at end)

* Vehicles cost a boatload - but thats because all other transport is amazing

--

Singapore is a hot a humid climate - a small city-state with lateral constraints.

But they new that they were going to double their population in the next few decades, so they built up and down.

There are massive walkways under the city that are basically large mall-tunnels, that have shops along the way.

The city was really smart in setting large setbacks between road and building such that greenery, plants and general aesthetics are wonderful.

Their freeway / road over-passes generall have planter boxes along the sides - so instead of prison-fencing style over-passes, such as the US', even the freeway and most roads are beautiful to drive on.

The trains, ferries etc - put the entirety of the US public transit system in the toilet.
Governments don't actually solve the free rider problem though. Taxpayers in the US pay for GPS and then everybody gets it all over the world; why should they pay anything when they can get it for free? The same goes for vaccine research and things like that; once it exists everybody gets it even if only one country was to pay for it.

But it still works because people can see that they're better off funding something that benefits them even if it also benefits someone who didn't pay, and so it is whether it's a government or not.

Now, sometimes a government might be more efficient at these things. Having people pay for GPS might be one way to get it, but then you have to collect money from everyone, which has administrative costs, and people who can't afford it can't use it even though there is no incremental cost in providing it to them.

But when you weigh that against the colossal amount of waste and violence governments commit in the process, the math doesn't look good. And you can get the same level of efficiency from a nonprofit that provides the service for free to the public, if the public wants it enough to donate to it. Which people would have more money to do if they weren't paying taxes to fund the maintenance of empty government buildings etc.
Pure functional programming is always about purity, functional programming is about first class functions. Pure functional programming is a subset of functional programming, not the other way around.

I'm not really sure where you are getting your information from but everything that I have read disagrees with this idea that functional programming is about purity.

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

I think in recent times the term functional programming has been overloaded to mean what you describe, and many people use it that way, but I don't think it should be used that way.

Maybe we should just say "non pure functional" or "pure functional" so it's always clear what we are talking about!

This looks super interesting! You mentioned that you'll be sharing some more details on the approach. I'm looking forward to learning more about how you're using the user's query to select relevant code to share with GPT-4.

I have been working on a related problem for my open source GPT coding tool. I am more focused creating a GPT chat experience that can act as a "junior developer" to write and edit code in your git repo. GPT is great at writing fresh, new self-contained code. I have been trying to improve its ability to make changes to a larger, complex repo.

I wrote up some notes on my current approach and some ideas for future work. I'll be curious to see how it compares to your approach, which seems more focused on search and code analysis.

I was actually pretty happy with Org mode except that one teeeny problem of it being only really usable in Emacs as everything else using that format missed this or that feature that I wanted/used.

> Thank you. This killed all my attempts at planning using Org Mode and agenda views. I'd schedule a few things for the day, and then invariably fail to do half of them, and then they would show up on next day's agenda, sorting above that day's planned tasks, and displayed with emphasis. This was both distracting and created an "emotional repulsion field" for the agenda view, leading to more tasks not completed, and a week down the line, my agenda view would have 20+ items due days ago.

org-mode kinda worked for me. It had SCHEDULED and DEADLINE types, first being basically "when I can start doing something" (maintenance etc.), second being "when I NEED to do it" (pay bills etc). Sometimes both.

I didn't use timestamps at all for most tasks, just priority, those were basically mostly for long term stuff or monthly-repeatable

> But this didn't help anything - soon enough, I'd be staring at an incoming blast wave of random uncompleted tasks, which I then had to push back again some more. The system eventually collapsed under the emotional weight.

That just sounds like amount of tasks was higher than time available, no system gonna fix that.

I actually found the org-mode showing how many times a given scheduled date was missed was fair indicator whether to look at that task or whether it should be there at all.

What do we want from self driving cars?

Naturally I wand a car I can summon from the pub that will drive me the 20km, over country roads, to my house while I mix cocktails or have a nap.

That may never happen, current technology does not seem up to it.

Then what? Modern cruise control, that keeps my car a constant distance form the car in front (unless it roars off at a speed higher that what I am comfortable with) is great. Helpful, especially in city driving.

I would appreciate "automated rumble strips" that warns me gently if I veer out of my lane.

Stopping at a parking spot, push a button, and park my car for me, less useful but still worth it.

But unless I have L5, and can turn my back on the road as I drink my vodka drink, (would that be L6? The impossible dream....) I am not interested in anything that lets me take my hands off the when whilst driving on any road. It seems too dangerous.

> I think they just used GPT-4 to help automate it on a large scale,

No, they used it as a crude description language for Solomonoff–Kolmogorov–Chaitin complexity analysis. They could have used a proper description language, and got more penetrable results – and it would've raised questions about the choice of description language, and perhaps have led to further research on the nature of conceptual embeddings. Instead, they used GPT-4 to make the description language "English" (but not really – since GPT-4 doesn't interpret it the same way as humans do), and it's unclear how much that has affected the results.

Here's the paper, if you want to read it again: https://openaipublic.blob.core.windows.net/neuron-explainer/... Some excellent ideas, but implemented ridiculously. It's a puff piece for GPT-4, the Universal Hammer. They claim that "language models" can do this explaining, but the paper only really shows that the authors can do explaining (which they're pretty good at, mind: it's still an entertaining read).
