I suppose you are somewhat right, it's a bit muddier than I remembered and I guess I completely mixed up the pedestrian statistics.

In this source, the increase in car weight seems quite minor over the last 10 years:

https://www.epa.gov/automotive-trends/highlights-automotive-... (fig ES-3)

https://www.statista.com/statistics/660493/us-light-duty-veh...

Your link does not support your claim of a 77% increase, but this better source pegs it at 80%, so I suppose that's about right: https://www.iihs.org/topics/fatality-statistics/detail/pedes...

That said, the rate hasn't gone up if you look at a 30-year timeframe, but it's a worrying trend nonetheless. It's a bit confusing though because I think you'd want to look at this per-capita. The absolute numbers show a 10-year upward trend, and the per-capita numbers are only split out by age group and show that same 10-year upward trend except it hasn't gone up at all for people under 20, which seems surprising.

But I remain confused because the 10-year weight increase is very small, less than 10% or so, so it is not clear to me that increasing vehicle weight is the most important factor. IIHS mentions road design and front-end design, but not weight as key factors.
I haven't run across any Cyberpunk fiction that didn't feature exploitation of other people with the aid of technology. That depressing aspect of it is sort of backed in. If it's utopian, it's not cyberpunk, almost by definition.
The AI will find gaps in the efficiency of asking AI system links to do things and will ‘prompt’ the need for a new programming language.

I find it funny how 'AI Ethicists' worry about AI says. And yet, they see no problem with AI possibly displacing millions of jobs and leaving people without income. That is what should be focused on, not nitpicking what the AI should say.

I know this is a low quality comment, I'm just angry at the current situation regarding AI.

I wouldn't say its new, but in my entirely anecdotal experience I'm hearing more and more young people talk about astrology than when I was young a few decades ago.

Its not new, but I'd believe we're in some kind of resurgence.

Pumping x feet of water creates x feet of pressure difference. How is that better than doing reverse osmosis at the surface?

Perhaps the advantage is that you can lift in multiple stages, so each pump doesn't bear the full column pressure. Also the pumps aren't exposed to salt.
Yes, but it's not really a limiting factor or fair complaint about EVs in general. It is perhaps a limiting factor for people who only consider non-Tesla EVs and don't want to wait for the Tesla Supercharger network to become available to other brands.

> Mickey Mouse(ok, not the biggest asset they have now, but an example) will be replaced by Ricky the Raccoon or thousands of other characters generated by AI.

I don't know about that. There are already thousands of characters, universes, stories (and they have been much cheaper to make than in the past, hence the proliferation), yet people still go see Star Wars movies, no matter how bad the previous one was (and the story is the same for video games).

Culture is about shared references, so owning the property over that common-ground references is going to be even more valuable as the cost of making content declines and new entrants are prevented from entering because of the competition. (we need a copyright reform to prevent a handful of corporations to own the entirety of culture, but it's as likely as a socialist revolution at this point…)

We don't know the loophole. We can only guess.

If we alter the Constitution to make it easier to alter the Constitution then it could become a runaway problem, leading to dictatorship.
Compatibility with Windows seems a lot better in 7 compared to 6, both as host and as guest. They also seem to have added a number of features such as secure boot. It seems that there was quite a time gap between 6 and 7 so a whole lot of changes built up.

Whether those things matter to you, or not, is in the eye of the beholder.

Well-written applications will just work. Badly-written applications may require patches or be impractical to build at all, and some system software may not make sense on the architecture at all.

There's a whole lot of build infrastructure for Debian; by default the package maintainer doesn't need to do anything specific, building for all architectures will happen by default.
Drucker or total quality management the Japanese way by Ishikawa are also good. In the later, which goes into root cause in depth, it's management that is usually to blame not the guy/gal on the line. All the more for systemic, recurring problems

>as of now anyway - is a harmless, if extremely stupid, outlet

As the article mentions people go as far as turning down relationships because of "mismatched star signs". That to me is not harmless at all, people make significant decisions based on superstition apparently exercising quite a lot of prejudice. Good friend of my family on my mother's side always was into herbal alternative medicine and people laughed it off. Few years ago she was diagnosed with breast cancer and was convinced she could treat it with some sort of rose tea. Well, she's dead now. These eccentric hobbies can be more detrimental than people give them credit for.

Financially that industry is apparently twice as large as the homeopathy market, so it's quite a big scam. I think we ought to be worried about this stuff even if there's no death camps.

The bulk of the Party doesn't even seem to actually care about the 2nd amendment - see the outpouring of support for the police summarily executing individuals exercising their right to bear arms. The topic has become something more like a performative security blanket of imagining some heroic last stand as a simulation of fighting tyranny.

I doubt it. AI currently can do some replacement of features, or dream up scenes, but it cannot animate a character at will.

So perhaps we'll have an even larger green screen acting industry, and even more computer graphics, but there will still be humans involved to create anything compelling, at least until a next major breakthrough in AI, which is quite hard to predict.

Also, I am already way past bored with the output from most contemporary AI. It seems to fill but a small hole in the large space of creativity.
It is not a binary choice. My grandma can get the care via a bribe and the next day I can go join the local mafia.

Not like a US corporation, the machine of machines, systems of systems. An actual mafia that breaks down the government and replaces official services with a protection racket around people's families and uses physical violence to enforce arbitrary mafia business norms.

The real criminal mafia does not answer to a doctor who takes the wrong bribes and that doctor may go home that evening to find his house/family/prized thing to be in jeopardy. The mafia built on family and religious connections that can't be bought out, and will balance out a non-working government when it fails.

The Soviet system props up the normal structure just enough to leech off it. That is a luxury of Russian culture that doesn't survive elsewhere, for very good reason.

Suffering isn't an excuse for corruption that hurts basic services for the middle/lower class.

Lie, bribe, cheat and steal for all the yacht money and control over steel mills, between upper class toffs, I don't care.

When your corruption stops society from working for the majority, or oppresses the majority, then you have become the problem.
Maybe you don't listen on port 80 but I can imagine a standard web server using Let's Encrypt, for example, that could suffer from a user leaking credentials by inadvertently using HTTP rather than HTTPS.

I have to look into some protections to this. I recently did a project and used Basic Auth for expediency thinking that later I would replace with a "proper" auth form. My theory was that this was better because sending cookies is based on the protocol also not just the domain.
Am I the only one who read this and thought 'wow, if I can get LD_TRACE_LOADED_OBJECTS to be set I can block anything from being executed'?

Dostoyevsky (to stay with the specific example) produced literary fiction that really challenges the reader on many levels. He might have written some of the "best" novels, but even devoted literary fiction readers need something lighter and simpler sometimes.

Your conspiracy theory sensor is set a bit too sensitively. :) This isn't Oracle acting malicious. It's a mistake.
Two multi-billion dollars lawsuits by a fraudster that I'm personally being victimized with right now beg to differ. Scammers and abusive people absolutely do abuse the courts, the rate is lower than other kinds of abuse because they have to be well funded to do it-- but unlike rude or threatening comments online you can't just ignore a court.

I can also say that first hand that Wikipedia likely would have been destroyed in 2006 by vexatious litigation if it weren't for S230. I've been involved in a number of other online forums and people trying to extort through legal threats is basically a constant, I'd be surprised if HN doesn't get them. With S230 these threats are fairly toothless. If they had any bite at all most smaller services just couldn't exist because the cost of dealing with them quite easily dwarfs the cost of providing the forum.

The fundamental issue I think your view faces is that even without S230 protection there is a lot of bad stuff in the world that we just can't stop. You could conjecture some further restriction of S230 that was narrow enough that it wouldn't make the liability an abuse vector, but since there is so much bad that we can't stop even where S230 is helpless, and even when the parties aren't like the big social media platforms and nearly immune to litigation... it's hard for me to imagine how limitations narrow enough to avoid abuse won't just also be pointless/ineffective.

I fully agree that there is bad crap out there-- but that doesn't mean that something can actually be done about it.

It's hard to discuss without a concrete proposal. Advocating for it absent one as you've done also seems dangerously close to advocating for any reduction, well considered or otherwise. I think at the end of the day our problems are anti-trust not content liability. The horrible practices of platforms wouldn't be such a big deal were it not for network effect lock-ins.
Well noted! Thank you for the super cool feedback :)
A legitimate question I have, why can’t these legacy machines running DOS just run a legacy version of OpenSSL? I understand there’s probably security concerns etc, but if security is such a big concern why would anyone still be running DOS? And why would anyone on DOS feel entitled to software updates in 2023? I just have a hard time wrapping my head around the need for to provide any consideration for ultra legacy code like this.

I’ve seen people point to prop 13 as a cause of the budget deficits. Not sure how much any of this goes beyond hearsay, but it is much harder to run a deficit when your tax base is decentralized and fixed. The core idea of prop 13 was to cut income and let spending figure itself out separately. The widening budget deficits in CA happen in the aftermath but maybe that was just the consequence of the same fiscal irresponsibility that motivated the tax cut.
Thank you for the info, Its now in my reading list.

Quiet a few fallacies on display here. I don't even know where to start.

- You can dislike capitalism but currently have insurmountable obstacles preventing you from moving somewhere else

- You can dislike capitalism but accept that it is currently something like the least-bad economic system

- You can like capitalism in general but criticize it and recognize its inherent flaws

- You can like capitalism in general and criticize a particular implementation of it

Well, then, be an example and get rid of all the
things you benefit from that came as a result of

Dear battery technology claimant,

Thank you for your submission of proposed new revolutionary battery technology. Your new technology claims to be superior to existing lithium-ion technology and is just around the corner from taking over the world. Unfortunately your technology will likely fail, because:

[ ] it is impractical to manufacture at scale.

[ ] it will be too expensive for users.

[ ] it suffers from too few recharge cycles.

[ ] it is incapable of delivering current at sufficient levels.

[ ] it lacks thermal stability at low or high temperatures.

[ ] it lacks the energy density to make it sufficiently portable.

[ ] it has too short of a lifetime.

[ ] its charge rate is too slow.

[ ] its materials are too toxic.

[ ] it is too likely to catch fire or explode.

[ ] it is too minimal of a step forward for anybody to care.

[ ] this was already done 20 years ago and didn't work then.

[ ] by the time it ships li-ion advances will match it.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks to original poster!
The ancients had incredible materials science. Egyptians had what basically functioned as a plastic, a easily formed, sintered quartz based material called faience. Romans had their concrete. There were incredible things occurring over 2000 years ago that we still don't know how to achieve, despite writing existing at that time. It's a very interesting situation!
I think what you’re missing is how often people who get into this stuff are mostly just having fun. It goes in the same category as folklore and ghosts and fantasizing about colonizing Mars. If it were real it would very quickly stop being fun and become deadly serious business instead.
Debian packages declare their supported architectures. "all" means it is architecture independent and will be available to a new architecture without rebuild. "any" means it is portable and will be available to a new architecture by rebuilding. In both cases no source change is needed.

Special packages (for example, compilers generating native code) enumerate supported architectures. For these packages, source change is needed, at least adding the name of the new architecture to the enumeration. But usually that's not the difficult part.
I don't need LLM to assume my intention, I need exact matches for keywords.
Another population to look at is retired people. Every one that I've seen actually has difficulties adjusting. They really aren't just sitting around watching TV all day until their bodies wear out.

The nonconsensual nature of them is the airtight argument against them, generally.
Is it important to point out college like housing and Healthcare increase far faster than anything else? So a recent down trend added to a larger up trend is still net expensive?
Fine point. I was trying to leave mining out of it.

Anyway, an argument towards stopping future use and abuse of a broken system is not equivalent to an argument to destroy existing structures. The former is corrective; the latter is revolutionary. Revolutions are stupid and useless because they always result in a new iteration of the existing problem.

How are you handling the byproducts of the concentrated solar distillation process (ie remnants not evaporated in the focal point chamber, salt and anything else you’re not filtering out prior to steam production)? Does this solution assume a closed loop heat exchange system, where the primary loop feeds a steam generator (which is fed raw saltwater as feedstock)?

Hmm, there should probably be some sort of guardrails in place: like these agencies can comment on the bill, but not actually influence it. Or, maybe this only applies to enforcement agencies, versus regulatory ones like the FTC.
You ask if we lament the fact that Republicans don’t do all the small government low tax stuff, and to that I would say that I lament the fact that they do not have policy at all, so much so that they reused their platform from 2016 for 2020 [1].

That’s right, to prepare for a billion dollar national election campaign, they wrote a single page document telling you to refer to their previous platform.

I don't quite understand the rest for the turbine? Once it's steam can't you just cool it and then you have a distilled water source? I.e. steam through coils becomes water again.
It's a false dichotomy, because the legislature could do both, or neither.
My experience with RAG is that while it reduces the incidence of hallucinations* significantly (especially if you reduce the LLM temperature to zero at the same time), it doesn't eliminate them.

My startup has a product for lawyers that uses RAG to answer legal queries (https://lawlight.ai/). We have a disclaimer that "... (we) do not guarantee the accuracy of answers. You are responsible for reviewing the cited case law and drawing your own independent conclusions."

(This works within the specific context—lawyers are domain experts; and they are supposed to read through all cases they cite in court anyway.)

* I dislike the term "hallucinations." By definition LLMs hallucinate. It's just that much (or most) of the time, the hallucinations reflect reality.
Great question, thanks! I've got 200 tabs currently open on my phone :)

Memory wise, at most 8 tabs can be kept alive in the background. Then based on the phone thermal state, that number decreases to 4, 2, and then 1.

Additionally, turning on Low Power Mode suspends all background tabs immediately, which is also convenient. I should probably document that behavior somewhere actually :)
No. The C code can read in a model weight, take input, and return output, but it runs on CPU, not GPU. It also can't run any other models, unlike PyTorch. The model is hardcoded to Llama 2.
If we stopped arguing about the abuse cases of involuntary commitment and introduced better voluntary mental care, there would be a lot less people that "needed" to be involuntarily committed.
My personal opinion, the first thing we should do is a complete ban on all “professional” and/or spectator sport in any and all educational institution.
You can still have classes teaching sports but no spectators and definitely no “college spirit” nonsense.

It doesn’t matter to me if these sports generate more revenue than it costs.
It is a distraction that we don’t need.
If people want to participate in spectator sport, there are other places for it.

My justification is the same as that Google uses to kill projects.
There might be a project at Google that makes a hundred million dollars of “pure profit”. However, if it takes even equivalent of a month of time and attention of the executive leadership team and the board every year, it is decidedly not worth doing and must be scrapped.

Similarly, it doesn’t matter to me how much money sports and other such distractions make. If it takes time and attention of the management and or the board of regents, it must be scrapped.
Educational institutions exist for education.
Cut it all out!
