No one can seem to keep their story straight in this thread. Russia is at the same time a weakend-to-the-point-of-collapse war economy, but also able to conjure up new manufacturing infrastructure from nowhere that would make them able to blitzkrieg their way to Berlin in 3 days. If the US can't replenish their 155mm stockpiles until ~2025, I would love to know what the Russians have figured out about weapons manufacturing that we ostensibly can't. I'm still not seeing why this particular conflict is so critical to the US strategic position that we'd walk ourselves up to direct NATO involvement and WWIII. I suppose if we sleepwalk into WWIII the 155mm problem will solve itself.

>If it was Germany on Russian border and without NATO article 5 instead of Ukraine, Berlin would have been taken in 3 days, no amount of modern manufacturing will save you from not having a standing army with proper equipment.

Sure, if you posit a bunch of things as true that are not true, you can make any analogy you want.

We don’t have a solid understanding of what it means to be intelligent, and despite the advances with LLMs, have yet to produce anything close to general cognition.

I wouldn’t say dangerous AI is out of the realm of possibilities, only that we are far from a point technologically where it makes sense to have the discussion. It would be like speculating about the dangers of nuclear energy before discovering the atom.

Our current models do not pose an existential threat to humanity. Period. And yet here we are, discussing the merits of banning open source LLMs. Language modeling is genuinely useful. I’m worried that the AI hysteria will push us toward a future where the best models are needlessly regulated and controlled by corporations.

I've been following Terraform Industries for a while, and it does strike me as obvious that H2 will be the preferred form of energy storage medium in the long run, not just an intermediate species.

Depending on the conditions, if you're doing day-night energy storage, then you would like to fill up the H2 tank and then burn it when demand ramps up.

The only role I see for methane is when your H2 tank is already filled up but your solar panels are still producing. This is not just possible, but deterministically required whenever solar gets deployed enough for seasonal storage to be necessary.

Right now California is something like 35% solar + wind energy, and the "duck curve" is nearly maxing out. This was predicted in extreme specificity 20 years ago, as >30% and you get stuff like zeroed-out energy prices during the day. We have not solved the day-night (daily) energy storage problem, which only requires storing energy for a matter of hours.

When you go to something like 60% renewables, then even crazier stuff happens. Overproduction during sunny times goes bananas and (assuming daily storage is solved, which it isn't) seasonal issues start to arise. I don't think H2 will ever work for seasonal storage, although I think it's fine for multi-day storage scenarios. It's not theoretically impossible, I just compare to the equivalent that we have for natural gas and realize you would need MANY TIMES that level of investment to save the same amount of energy in H2. Plus, fossil fuel gas producers are mostly at a constant level, whereas solar production outright needs summer-to-winter storage.

What I don't buy is that these units will be disconnected from the grid and be economical by their gas products. No way, no how. What you want is to run the chemicals plant with low-voltage solar power locally, and trade-off with the grid as is economical.

> What about this: allow the merger, and if the harm is done, the company must pay, but if the harm is not done, the state must pay?

The FTC identified not having CoD on multiple platforms as a large issue. What payment is justified if Microsoft doesn't allow CoD on multiple platforms?

It's easy to say "if harm is done, the company must pay" but look how long we've know leaded gasoline was harmful, look how long we've know abestoes was harmful, look how long we've know pfas was harmful, look how long we've know cigarettes are harmful. And then look how long it took for any company to pay after fighting tooth and nail saying it wasn't harmful despite their _own_ internal research saying the contrary.

Sure, CoD is not in the same scope as leaded gasoline. The point still remains, a harm has been identified and I don't think they should be allowed to merge so long as the punishment for that harm occurring isn't pre-determined.
Thanks for the info. The dock is the CalDigit TS3 Plus dock and I’m using it with an LG monitor.

The cost of carrying some words is so close to zero. Given the scale of data we do carry, it seems callous to me to begrudge people a couple megabytes of words in their life.

Our ability to tell what is garbage & what has use seems incredibly poor. We just don't know. Who how & when do we take your mercenary plan into action to decide when to wipe things out?

And we may glean great insight & wisdom from the aggregate, from being able to view historical sentiment. Efforts like the Google N-grams project can show incredible trends & patterns happening across time, and is just an incredibly simple first-level example of analysis.
Whether or not the existential risk around [climate change or nuclear weapons] is real, governments, corporations, NGO's and others will twist this to their own purpose to build censorship, entry barriers, and other unpleasantries. We should be mindful of that.

ideally, Asahi would never be finished any more than Debian is. And there will always be more generations of hardware. As long as Martin and others are willing to keep running the project there’s work to be done.

It’s just a question of whether it’s good enough for you or not. And honestly, for laptops, the answer so far is probably still "not". Thunderbolt not working is kind of a deal killer, for example.

https://github.com/AsahiLinux/docs/wiki/Feature-Support

Gotta say the other day I was thinking about the Mac Pro and even at only 192GB of memory, 20P/4E with some Optane SSDs and some flash behind it would absolutely tear through postgres workloads, I bet.

Everyone is dumping on Mac Pro for regressing on memory capacity (after spending the last 2 years dumping on the "$50k mac" and comparing it against Threadripper builds that top out at 256GB), and asking why Mac Pro instead of Studio. Since Asahi doesn't support Thunderbolt yet, you can't use enclosures on Studio. Mac Pro is the only option for a PCIe card that Apple won't sign a driver kext for (NVIDIA cards, for example - and they do have an aarch64 driver thanks to the Tegra family!).

NVIDIA glomming onto Asahi and giving it formal support instead of going their own way with L4T/Jetson Linux would be an interesting course of events. It is, after all, just ARM64/AArch64 under the hood.

>Cars driving without license plates.

An effective way to avoid the automatically issued ticket.

The problem - as I see it - with this kind of automated speed (or red traffic light) tickets is (given that the car is correctly identified by its license plate) that they arrive days, weeks or months after the event was recorded.

So they have - at the most - a very late effect in educating the drivers.

Additionally they may well (if not properly regulated) become a sort of "trap", where the local municipality puts one of these in a stretch of road/street where an artificially low speed limit has been posted or at a traffic light where the yellow light time has been set to a minimum, in order to get as much money as possible from the foreigners (the locals would quickly learn).
I call BS on them being not good market fit, Apple does totally fine with mac mini. also these are just laptops w/o screen and battery. IMO the real reason may be worries around minipcs finally getting good enough that they may cannibalize higher margin PC market. BTW there are other vendors like Beelink that make semi decent tiny computers and I have one of those as my teenage kids pc,works just fine.
> ... If we hadn't wasted a decade using CRT timings (and slight modifications thereof) to drive LCDs over digital links ...

Don't forget the decade or so (late 1990's to early 2000's) where we were driving LCDs over analog links (VGA connectors).

I had purchased a pair of Silicon Graphics 1600SW monitors back in the day, which required a custom Number Nine graphics card with an OpenLDI display interface. It was many years since those were introduced to the market that DVI finally started becoming commonplace on PC graphics cards.

Using the mass-market LCD monitors in the late 1990's was a frustrating affair, where you had to manually adjust the timing synchronization of the analog signal.
Been powerlifting for 15 years and I strongly disagree.

Stronglifts basically aped Starting Strength with minimal tweaks to justify separate branding, and only caught on over SS because of the slick app. Rippetoe has been coaching strength for many decades and was a competitive lifter himself, with his all-time PRs for squat and deadlift being a little over 600. He’s trained a network of coaches who command crazy prices for training because the cert is prestigious and incredibly difficult to earn. He was a key contributor to powerlifting and weightlifting components of CrossFit, until he (justifiably, imo) became disillusioned with the franchise. The Starting Strength book is an incredible resource for powerlifters, going into extreme detail into how to do the lifts, why, how to avoid getting injured, how to do your programming, and how to tell when you’ve outgrown Starting Strength. The forum you linked is actually an incredible resource where you can get free form feedback and general advice from the actual coaches (and Rippetoe), with no analog in the stronglifts community. (Is there even a stronglifts community?)

Mehdi, on the other hand… is some guy who made an app. He’s not even a particularly impressive lifter, and was a decidedly unimpressive one when he launched SL.

On the programs themselves: 5x5 is inappropriate for beginners. In no time at all you will hit a progression wall, and your workouts will take forever, where 3x5 could have continued without a hitch, for no upside. And despite the suggestion that more reps means more practice, the fact is that ESPECIALLY for beginners, doing a zillion reps in a state of fatigue is a great way to get hurt.

Barbell rows are such a poor substitute for power cleans that Rippetoe no longer recommends them at all, and the newest edition of the book expresses remorse for ever having made the suggestion.

But even putting all that aside, the most important part of SS is that it is essentially complete and will carry you for 6-9 months with no modification. Because as the commenter up the chain said, fuckarounditis is the most popular way to fail at getting strong. All the common complaints (“waah my biceps aren’t big enough”) are trivially addressed at the intermediate stage, once you’ve built a base of strength and a habit of training. This is why they are “cultish” about variations: you can do all that once you’ve run out your beginner gains. Until then, you don’t know what you’re doing and shouldn’t mess around.
I agree that companies will do whatever they can to cut costs, including anything which can remove the necessity of a human worker via automation. But I think this comment is not responding to what was written (maybe there was an edit I missed):

> Obviously humans will always be involved in coming up with moderation policy

This comment seems to respond to:

> Obviously humans will always be involved in [moderation]

The first statement seems to hold true -- at least, it's a more "obvious" conclusion. What scenario is required to fully remove humans from coming up with moderation policy? These companies who are so eager to automate certain tasks will likely still be staffed by humans who would make the decision to automate certain tasks.
Would that not be a great idea... Create an Obsidian (or Chrome, for that matter) plugin where everyone can add scraping plugins that uses e.g. Chrome instrumentation to scrape out your content based on the SAAS walled garden you're using, and dumps it in a set of .md and .jpg/.mov files.

So I could that way dump out my Tinder chats (I don't use Tinder, but I imagine you can chat there?) just as well as my Youtube videos, my Evernote notes, my Todoist tasks, etc.

I'd point out that Glassdoor benefits from a huge breadth of search coverage across all their pages. Something on the order of 80%+ of their traffic I'd imagine comes from search. They have a huge leg up building up a ton of rank over the years (similar to companies like Booking.com). People Google this stuff and land on Glassdoor millions of times everyday, and that's what keeps it going.

One of those cases where distribution trumps product veracity. And to be fair, most people who use Glassdoor probably do still find it valuable (some information is better than no information).

Tangential point, but it's pretty crazy that Google can turn scores of companies to dust within seconds simply via search rank. Some sites that are > 70% search traffic: Genius, Yelp, Wikipedia, TripAdvisor, Quora, Urban Dictionary, Investopedia, Expedia, Glassdoor, IMDb

This is how the majority of the planet outside of the USA, Russia and former USSR states names these ideologies:

authoritarian capitalism -> fascism

democratic capitalism -> capitalism

democratic socialism -> socialism

authoritarian socialism -> communism

From the mixed economy wikipedia:

> Common to all mixed economies is a combination of free-market principles and principles of socialism.[5]

From the socialism page of wikipedia:

> While no single definition encapsulates the many types of socialism,[13] social ownership is the one common element,[6][14] and is considered left-wing.[15]

If you don't have to pay tolls for the majority of the roads that you drive on, you are living a mixed economy because those toll free roads are owned by the state, not by private companies or individuals, and are paid for by taxes. Which makes them a socialist element, most likely within a majority capitalist system. Which makes what you live in a mixed economy. The vast majority of countries on the planet are mixed economies.

It astounds me how this keeps coming up on HN over and over again.
