I think you're missing the point: "range at all costs" isn't the answer if it means tradeoffs that most people wouldn't make. As the topmost comment said, if you can charge in ten minutes, why do you need 700 miles of range? They're talking about a battery that can get you from SF to LA and nearly all the way back in one charge. Who is making that trip without ten minutes to spare along the way?

Every positive aspect to a battery (lacking some novel miracle) means a tradeoff. Faster charges? More weight. More capacity? Physically larger. Better heat management? More expensive materials. (Obviously just hypothetical examples)

To the point of the root comment, 700+ miles of range is outrageous when you can refuel in nearly the same time as an ICE vehicle just doesn't make a lot of sense. So why bother accepting the other tradeoffs? Make a battery that's 500 miles and doesn't eat through tires nearly as fast due to weight. Make a battery that charges in 20 minutes instead of 10 and make the trunk a normal size. What technical challenges painted them into this specific corner that they're not talking about?
Amazing concrete, thorough advice -- thank you so much for taking the time to share it with me and others in the same boat!

I've read the article and watched the video that it is a reply to.

I both agree with the author and disagree.

I disagree that Rich Hickey is wrong when it comes to whether those changes should be breaking or not. Those curves can be non-breaking, unlike what the author of the article claims.

But I agree with the author that the fact that they are breaking doesn't really matter.

Rich Hickey mentions this himself in his talk. He says that no one talks about the costs of using Option or Maybe. So then he lays out the costs.

And I was...not that impressed.

Sure, this change that should be non-breaking is breaking. And your downstream clients will have to change their code. That seems bad.

Until you realize that the only change they would be forced to make is to delete what is now dead code.

Sure, it's annoying; I don't deny that. But Rich Hickey claims that it increases code maintenance to have to make the change. I whole-heartedly disagree because any time you can safely delete code, you are making maintenance easier.

Plus, despite all of his complaints that people don't considers costs, he never really considers the costs of his proposal, the biggest of which is the complexity of the language.

I think the industry has rightly come to the conclusion that, all else being equal, and even sometimes when they are not, a more complex language is a worse language.

I think proper union types, the kind needed here, would add enormous complexity to the language for little benefit in rare cases. (Because how often do programmers relax constraints? I don't think they do that often.)

In my language, I'll keep Option as it is, and make such changes breaking, in order to avoid the complexity of union types.
But there _is_ no "breaking" change in the behaviour, because none of the previously-possible behaviours _can_ break. For every way-of-calling the function that previously existed, those ways-of-calling will continue to operate as before.

Some new ways-of-calling will now be legal, but that is not a breakage, because no code that already existed could have been using those ways before, and so no code exists that can be broken.

Clients _may_ choose to write new code to take advantage of the new behaviour - but there is nothing that they _must_ do (unlike with a breaking change, where they _must_ take action). It's for the purposes of this categorization, for communicating about client's responsibilities, that the concept of breaking changes is valuable.
This erratic but somewhat interesting behavior of Elon Musk reminds me to when Kanye West started to promote his Donda 2 album in a rush, that didn't end well.
the single largest consumer of power in california is the DWR's pumping plants. don't underestimate the energy costs of pumping a state's worth of water up several hundred meters.

which really puts into perspective how insane desalination, with it's order of magnitude higher energy costs is. why spend all that energy when we could simply build more infrastructure to capture more peak runoff from the sierras
And that justifies regressive taxation policies... how?
It makes it illegal to film an officer physically assaulting you, for example.
One of the concerning problems with the current judicative system is that most judges have no idea about modern technology because of their age. My father asked me today if I'm also working on "AI"... I told him that artificial intelligence doesn't exist and that it's a hype about software that's really good at imitating intelligence.
> And if you look at any graph of college costs vs wages over the past 40 years or so, they have simply skyrocketed.

Absolutely, no debate there. The particular surprising claim in question though was about whether they have declined in the past couple of years, relative to a peak in late 2010s. And there, measured either in CPI adjusted costs, or relative to real median wages, they have.

But of course, the drops are small, and it's only been about 1-2 years. I'm not sure this really indicates a sustained trend, or just the fact that college cost increases have (for once) lagged inflation over those 1-2 years.

Would we have been better off putting Hitler in jail before all that? He didn’t just switch a crazy light in his head overnight.

All I’m saying is, there will always be people that need to be inside jail rather than outside jail. The parent asked for a citation. I said Hitler. Because it would have been better if he was inside jail and not running it.

Another one: Charles Manson. He was jailed. I don’t think there is any society where he could have lived and not committed atrocities. Unless you lived in a society that legalised such atrocities but I’m not interested in living somewhere like that.
As a very smart man once said, "It took both time and experience before workers learnt to distinguish between machinery and its employment by capital, and therefore to transfer their attacks from the material instruments of production to the form of society which utilises those instruments."

We've forgotten the lesson and we have to relearn it. The problem isn't AI - the problem is the owners of capital, who will be abusing and exploiting workers with or without AI. AI as technology is a wonderful achievement and the product of a great deal of proletarian intellectual labour, built on the intellectual labour of society as a whole - it is ours, and it is fantastic once we restore control to its rightful owners. Unemployment, homelessness, lack of healthcare aren't caused by AI, they're caused by an economic system which demands unemployment, homelessness, and which throws in the lack of healthcare for free. Accordingly, we cannot prevent unemployment by fighting AI - it has never worked in history and it won't work now, like fighting the mailman to "prevent" a court summons. We have to identify and fight the root cause, not the tools that both we and they use or will use.
The next sentence:

> And on private property, an officer who decides that someone is interfering or that the area is unsafe could have ordered the person to stop filming even if the recording was being made with the owner’s permission.

Which seems to imply that if a police officer breaks into your house, they can order you to stop filming them at their sole discretion.
Police already play copyright music in order to kill livestreams of them.

These feel like excuses to prevent checks against legalized force.

Absolutely. Yes. The local part goes a long ways

Some hopeful example :

Quebec hospitals started cooking all their food internally on the same budget.

More and more French municipalities stopped their frozen food subscription to hire a handful of cooks and gardeners with a similar budgets. ( those are minimum wages jobs than can be sourced locally )

To conclude : human have been cooking food in batch for quiet a while. That what I mean when I say « we forgot » : some communal facilities like school don’t even have kitchen anymore.
Indeed, a frequent issue with search engines is knowing the right terms plug into them, particularly when researching a topic beyond one's scope of knowledge.

Half the power of LLMs as they currently exist is that they can often extract the intention of the user's question in a way that search engines usually can't, allowing them to provide a more useful answer or at least point the user in the right direction.

Perhaps it would make sense for search engines to utilize LLMs to perform this query extraction and suggest more appropriate search terms, engaging conversational interaction only if the suggestions are wrong and the LLM requires further clarification.
> Nobody thinks that free education is magically free, everybody understands that it's paid by taxes/government/society.

That is far from clear. There are crazy people on the left just like there are crazy people on the right, and I think some of them really don't understand how the world actually works, and that you really can somehow magically make education "free for everyone".

Even if it's not true, it provides ammunition for the opposition to say that it's true. One way or another, I think using misleading terminology is generally not a net win.
Reminds me of this tongue-in-cheek quote [1] by the LindyMan [2]:

"It's easy to hate the rich. But do you have the courage to hate the poor?"

Also, why is the list of "the rich" so short? At the very least, there are about 2,640 billionaires in the world [3]. They all surely qualify as being rich.

It's probably not a safe assumption to rely on for a device out in the field, but in my experience, OpenBSD's fsck typically works just fine unattended. I could pull the plug on my router right now and I would expect it to come back up on its own.

However, yes, sometimes a badly timed power loss will break the filesystem in a way that requires a manual fsck.
>It's still surprises me that The Economist would use CPI-adjusted figures, but fail to mention the adjustment

Are we reading the same article?

>A report from the College Board, a non-profit, shows that whereas published tuition and fees for private non-profit colleges increased from $29,000 in 2006-07 to $38,000 in 2021-22 (in 2021 dollars), the net price actually decreased from $17,000 to $15,000.

"in 2021 dollars" clearly implies CPI adjustment.
I guess you can’t change human weakness, or preference with clever technology.

I don’t think whuffie automatically make things more meritocratic. Maybe it would just go in the other direction where things would be more about what people like socially…so popularity. So if anything it’ll be more political and cliquey.

Regarding your “nepotism”, I think it would just reflect human nature in the sense that even now children of respected parents —say, the child of a respected physicist—is afforded a sort of social standing and goodwill, and kind appraisal, because of how people appreciate their parents. But if the child is bad then that won’t be extended and it won’t save them. Similarly, if the child acts in a way that people see as against the good legacy of their parents, it wouldn’t save them. I don’t think there’s anything wrong looking kindly at the children of people you like. But I don’t think that’s really the kind of nepotism that you’re against, is it? I don’t know tho.

I know there’s other kinds of nepotism based on supposed influence or whatever, which I think is more what you’re talking about here, but I think they may be may be less under that reputation system. The example you cite of the guy’s girlfriend (I think)—a child of prominent Imagineers-I imagine her whuffie accrued simply because she wasn’t all bad and people respected her parents. It wasn’t the pernicious kind that I think you’re so against. So perhaps there’s a distinction you’re interested in considering more then.

Anyway, those collectively form part of what are just the negative side. Which I think would be less commanding and influential than the positive side.

I definitely think there is a positive side of whuffie where if you’re doing good work, which people respect, that isn’t in the current system necessarily remunerative—like in the story, the guy is earning lots of whuffie from being a missionary and helping people out— then you’ll always have more than enough. Where is in the current system you wouldn’t.

And I think that positive benefit far outweighs any amplification of already pre-existing negative human traits.

But of course I haven’t yet lived long enough in this particular version of the future so I could be wrong. Maybe it will turn out to be disaster or maybe we’ll all end up hating it.

But I think it’ll be fun to try, don’t you?

as long as it’s not administered by some centrally controlled government or state, where it could be tied to how compliant you are with not spouting “dangerous misinformation” or whatever the heresy of the day is deemed. Haha

I did read the second link, and I did not argue for "ignore it" as the default policy.
Why do you think other government/country want to use an English abbreviation for their government entities ? Even for Latin language that use a similar word "gouv" (french), "gob" (spanish) or "guv" (romanian) would be more natural.

One of the fun things I like to do with these examples is follow along at home. I don't have access to GPT-4 because I refuse to give money to OpenAI, but with GPT-3.5, "What is an LLM hallucination" actually gives:

- The usual knowledge cutoff warning

- An explanation of what a hallucination is

If (in a separate conversation) I give GPT-3.5 the exact prompt that explains what an LLM is, I get gaslighted instead. GPT-3.5 attempts to tell me that LLM stands for "Legal Master of Laws". Then it gives the knowledge cutoff warning, and then the same correct explanation Myscale got.

The rest of this article appears to be trying to turn GPT into a frontend for search engines. I don't know why people keep trying to do this.

What I'd really like is to just be able to use the native filesystem. But Firefox doesn't like that, and people apparently use that, so it's not a real standard.

At the very least, they should make the origin private filesystem user-visible with a flag. Don't allow everything, just ~/WebData/default/DOMAIN_NAME

GPG is probably not the best choice for IM because it lacks Perfect Forward Secrecy. Meaning if someone obtains the key they can read all consent ever encrypted with it both past and present.

PFS requires that both endpoints communicate together so for email's "fire and forget" structure it didn't make sense. But for IM it sure does.

>This is an important distinction because, when people pay for college, they're not comparing it with the cost of other goods and services (which is what CPI measures), but whether they can afford it, based on their parents' current/past income, or their own future expected income.

>[...] Wages for many people haven't kept up with CPI, so a higher nominal net cost still makes college less affordable.

Wages have kept up with CPI, at least for the period that The Economist mentioned: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LES1252881600Q

I suppose you could claim that wages for everyone hasn't kept up with inflation/tuition rises, but that's not the claim that The Economist is addressing and is basically cherry-picking.
Someone posted a Chemical Safety Board video here a few days ago, and I’ve been watching them ever since. From the dozen-or-so that I’ve seen, human error has consistently been the smallest contributing factor out of the typical five identified.

It’s the very last thing that went wrong in a sequence of errors. Terrible management, little or no oversight, and creeping complacency all rank higher in my opinion. (And all of these overlap somewhat)

I am the author of this article. And actually what we tried to do was to replicate the simplest implementation to Retrieval Augmented Language Models by prompting the LLM. There have been many researches on this topic right now like work from Meta(https://arxiv.org/pdf/2208.03299v3.pdf). I think it can give you a picture how those RALMs boost the performance on General QA tasks.
A well known risk of democracy is populist nonsense laws that appeal to a vocal minority or entrenched voting block. The legislator who pushed this turd of a law knew what he was doing and the consequences were moot. Getting re elected was more important.

The modern Republican party of small government and low taxes is long gone. in its stead is basically a zombie that shambles from culture war to culture war in a desperate bid to remain relevant to anyone who still thinks cutting a billionaires taxes makes any sense in 2023. It advances dead cat legislation and reactionary edicts against the very first amendment it insists it champions.

> It's well known that hydrogen makes most (possibly all) metals become brittle over time.

It's not "well known." In fact, this is bullshit. Only some metals have this problem. Even then there are ways of preventing the problem via coatings and the like. Nor is it even necessary, as geological formations can be used to store hydrogen in the same way we store natural gas.

>I don't see why an average person wouldn't either.

Some people are just hardwired to be productive. It's part of why they became billionaires. A better judge would be to look at the children of wealthy people that were born in the lap of luxury. Do their activities generally reach the potential that their status gave them, or do they waste their days on frivolous pursuits? I don't have any stats, but we all know of plenty of stories of rich children that grew up to be useless drains on their parents finances. Given the endless stream of of entertainment afforded by modern life, if people's means of living comfortably were taken care of, I bet a large portion of people receiving UBI would do nothing productive.
Noob question - are they somehow better at AI/ML workloads than regular x86_64?
If we actually build machines that are as capable as human beings (meaning, real AGI) then it actually will be different. Past automation efforts didn’t obsolete human workers, but that’s not some law of nature you can rely on. It’s simply evidence that past automation efforts were imperfect. Hopefully this new round will be as well.
