A gasoline car can charge from 0% to 100% of its range in 5 minutes.
It usually takes longer to take the slight detour and line the car up with the charge port than it does to fully charge the car.
Recharging this kind of car does not damage its most expensive part nor does its fuel tank shrink.

The newest electric cars take a half hour to do this (a non-trivial amount of time) and only go about 2/3rds as far (less on the highway), so if you actually want to go somewhere you're taking on about an extra hour of charging for 6 hours of driving.
Recharging this kind of car damages its most expensive part- the fuel tank- and it shrinks every time you charge it (whether quickly or slowly).

Now, if the car had 1600 miles of range, then a half-hour charge time and the slow shrinkage of its gas tank is more acceptable because you're getting approximately the same rate of recharge per minute (as it would be if the 200-mile range electric cars charged as fast as a gas car does). With a range or charge time like that, the other inherent disadvantages to electric cars are muted to a massive degree (a 20% range degradation isn't as big a deal for a car that can still go 1200 miles, and a 30% range reduction in cold months isn't as big a deal if the car could be charged in 3 minutes).

But neither of those things are currently true, and that's in large part why these kinds of cars don't really sell unless they're known to be rolling gimmicks or transformative in other ways (the electric trucks that let you run power tools off their batteries are the best example of this). Which is why Tesla's cars are the way that they are, and why every other major manufacturer who doesn't have a good idea of how to sell their inferior cars take the "look, we can do a massive screen in our car too just like Tesla" approach (and fail specifically because they aren't Tesla), or they just keep developing really good gas cars (an approach currently favored by the Japanese companies).
Full 100% charge is good for the LFP batteries which have been standard in Model 3 and Model Y since 2021.

Indeed, Tesla recommends to charge to 100% at least once per week.

Can't your regular calendar already remind you of scheduled events? That particular function doesn't seem like it needs an AI.
How do you feel about software that has various 'pro' features that cost more but are unlocked with a key and don't require a separate download?
DiskANN has some great ideas that will likely make it into pg_embedding. The most important implication is how many vectors it can support. DiskANN claims it can manage 1Bln vectors and it's a huge deal. Index construction does take a long time, but we are researching how we can scale it out.

Are we going to deny there was less promiscuity in the past? Just a few years ago the lifetime average partners was 7. Even that was screwed high due to recent trends.

Now most women I know have 7 by the time they leave college.
I could give companies a pass for features that require continuous maintenance from them, like remote unlock (properly secured servers). But there was a car company that tried to sell you your own seat warmers, which definitely crosses my barrier.
(Sibling comment already explained the concept of an image.) Yes, the boot process from this kind of image is just as standardized as an ISO.
You probably don't want to do it my way -- I've cobbled it together and it works, but it's not pretty.

In essence, what I've done is set up my router to intercept all HTTPS traffic and direct it to a proxy program that I wrote myself. All the program does is look for DoH traffic and drop it on the floor, just passing the rest on to its proper destination. This requires installing a custom cert on each browser so the proxy can decrypt the HTTPS stream.

If I were to do this today, I'd look into formal tools to do this, such as mitmproxy or somesuch. That's not a specific recommendation, I've never used it. But there are a number of similar tools available. One of them is likely to be a good solution!
“Pick a measure” just meant that you’re predicting the difference will be exactly 0%. P(0) = 1.

The difference between a Bayes factor and a likelihood ratio is Bayes factor uses the marginal likelihood. So you need to pick your parameters ahead of time, weighted by priors. With a likelihood ratio, you can use the best parameters given the data.

You can do the likelihood ratio in an objective way, because you’re choosing whatever has the least error given the data. Bayes factor you can’t be totally objective. You need to choose ahead. Upside is it reduces overfitting.
The move may seem unreasonable, but it seems more unreasonable to expect anything different from the oligarchy.
I have moderately severe ADHD, and have good reasons to not use medication.

My first response to this is that it solves problems that I don't have, and ignores the ones I do have.

Organizing my day on paper is trivial. I'm also married to someone with a good partnership, and we offload different types of tasks to each other. She might enjoy having software assistants to be more productive, but I don't need that. I have her.

The trick for me is that it is important that my life be organized around engaging with things that I want to do. And thereby having my wants reinforce executive control so that I can do what I think that I should. This involves a lot of managing of my emotional state, and a lot of REJECTING of outside demands by the world that I conform to how the world wants me to be. I see nothing about this app that helps me do either thing.

Yes, yes, I know the idea of eliminating distractions so that I can focus. Honestly, that's crap that leads to disasters every time I try it. If I have positive motivations to do X, distractions are easy to set aside. If motivations are negative, I will be unable to resist creating distractions. And a straightjacket that prevents that leads to insanity.

Which returns me to my point. The key, for me, in handling ADHD is emotional tools to find positive motivations, and social tools to resist the world attempting to load me with tasks through negative motivations.
I thought hydrogen storage was somewhat troublesome because of the cost and lifetime of storage containers.

Compare alternative fuel vehicles and you'll see that hydrogen vehicles are really quite impractical.

Hydrogen vehicles require tanks at extremely high pressure, and they might become fragile from the hydrogen.

Actually, natural gas vehicles (CNG) were more practical and still didn't go that far without subsidies. Note that although natural gas is found natively - in the ground - a significant amount of energy is required to pressurize it to ~3600 psi for transportation.

Now I would agree with you if your statement said diesel instead of hydrogen.
You don't have to but I used MrChromebox's firmware on a C710, C720, and 2 Asus Chromeboxes.

The project has been around about 10 years. I think it if was not trustworthy we probably would have heard something by now.

I remember using the SeaBIOS firmware from them around 2014. Since then I've updated all machines to the UEFI firmware and now they can even boot Windows. I run the latest Fedora distribution on all of them and they work fine.
I almost installed this, but then I decided to cut the grass, and then I played with legos, and then I did some jumping jacks.
Oh no, it's super easy to see, just harder to tell if it's a coupe or a sedan or whatever. New lines in the body panels get drowned out by the pattern, etc.
I personally want something at the level of Samantha from Her for managing my life. When I think about the data inputs needed to have an AI that effective, it's made me increasingly aware at how much I lack from tools like Google Tasks and reminders etc. for keeping track of all the things I need to do.

It's easy to have them slip off the list and be forgotten about, or not be able to do small things to move them ahead and have that progress reflected in the task. But I desperately want this.
I don't think that makes sense. China is communist in name only, and there must be a lot of places where the biggest source of income is tourism. And what happens when the majority of people in a town suddenly lose jobs?

They start to ask "What the hell is our government doing, while we're going through this shit?"

An economically happy populace is one that's easy to rule over. There is no reason why the CCP should want its people to be upset.
> With NAT it is impossible to disable the firewall.

My Asus has Advanced Settings > Firewall > Enable Firewall: Yes/No. (Also Enable IPv6 Firewall: Yes/No.)

It also has Advanced Settings > WAN > Port Forwarding to expose specific ports and DMZ to completely expose a machine.

You can punch holes in IPv4 security just fine.
The code produced in the "getInitials" function handles absolutely no corner cases whatsoever. It also didn't add any tests to the PR.

All this does is making sure your website will crap all over itself 2 weeks into using this tool (death by a thousand cuts style) and you'll need to hire more people to fix whatever this thing fucks up. Just about the opposite of what automation is supposed to help with.

Good luck!

Anything that an IP address can be attached to is already accumulating a charge, just by existing and running. EC2, NAT gateway, ELB, etc. What's "actually unused" then? Minimum amount of traffic? I don't think it's in Amazon's purview to make those judgement calls.
Well it doesn't serve it from disk. It's persisted to disk and Postgres buffer cache keeps the working set in memory.
So for this, Run your apps in public subnets that are attached to IGW.
Just because it is easier and cheaper for you to do something doesn't make it right to do it.
My EV6 shows me a range that seems to be based on recent driving. When I've been conservative, the range is high; when I've been driving sportily, the opposite. Does Tesla do the same?
> supply of Elixir talent exceeds demand, although this isn't unique to Elixir (e.g Rust)

I'm in the middle of some AI startup telling me my clinicians don't need to do their own notes anymore if I pay $1000 a month for a Chrome plugin that records the session and runs it through some unnamed, unknown, undetailed LLM they run in Google Cloud, and they're acting like I'm stupid for having issues with it.
I doubt range is increased much by reduced weight. Only rolling resistance is reduced, but most resistance at speed is from air resistance. Since energy is reclaimed from braking, the extra mass for acceleration is balanced by the extra mass for stopping, so it doesn’t help much with stop start traffic.

That’s how I mentally model it anyhow.

to my surprise, it turns out that org-mode's spreadsheet does support units, because it uses emacs calc-eval. But calc seems to have its own dimensional analysis engine rather than using gnu units. i was hoping to get a temperature in this last column, for example:

| 3 mm | 4 kg | 0.44444444 kg / mm^2 | 44.444444 kg m^2 / (s^2 mm^2) | (44.444444 kg m^2 / (s^2 mm^2 stefanboltzmann))^0.25 |
| 2 mm | 1 kg | kg / (4 mm^2) | 25 kg m^2 / (s^2 mm^2) | (25 kg m^2 / (s^2 mm^2 stefanboltzmann))^0.25 |
#+TBLFM: $3=$2/$1/$1::$4=$3*(10m/s)**2::$5=($4/ stefanboltzmann)**(1/4)

(edited, previous incorrect version follows)

| 3 mm | 4 kg | 0.44444444 kg / mm^2 | 300 mm m^2 / s^2 | (300 mm m^2 / (s^2 stefanboltzmann))^0.25 |
| 2 mm | 1 kg | kg / (4 mm^2) | 200 mm m^2 / s^2 | (200 mm m^2 / (s^2 stefanboltzmann))^0.25 |
#+TBLFM: $3=$2/$1/$1::$4=$1*(10m/s)**2::$5=($4/ stefanboltzmann)**(1/4)

similarly here i was hoping to get the time until the laptop charges and i guess i sort of did but not really

| 22.8 Wh | 16.8 Wh | 6. Wh | 7.4W | 0.81081081 Wh / W |
#+TBLFM: $3=$1-$2::$5=$3/$4

The fuel-meter is absolutely lying to you at 50%+. And the customer-service reps know it, and they even have trained responses over this conspiracy.
We've cured "Alzheimer's in mice" over and over again. Sadly our mouse model for Alzheimer's has not proven to be a good model for Alzheimer's in humans.
That is one thought, another thought is that when one configures the email application one should just check a box to make it default.

I think the current method makes more sense. I have no objection to Apple also implementing in system settings but who cares.
They stole @x and now this. What can make our week worse?
Maybe it's not quite theft, but like I said, at minimum, I'd expect Tesla to refuse warranty repairs (hack the software to open Plaid mode, lose your drivetrain coverage, etc).

Trying to think about it in terms of "normal" cars - unlocking Plaid is similar to reprogramming the ECU on an ICE to deliver more power.

Where to go to ask questions about LLMs?
There is a ton of activity and interest around LLMs. On HackerNews alone it seems there are least several highly upvoted posts per day about LLMs. Where are all of these people going to ask their questions about LLMs? The LLM tag activity on stack exchange sites is abysmal. You would think LLMs were obscure based on the activity there. For example:

* https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/llm: 131 questions
* https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/llm 11 questions
* https://ai.stackexchange.com/tags/llm 0 questions
* https://datascience.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/llm 8 questions

Are the main conversations happening elsewhere, on a different site or a different medium altogether, like on Discord?

I asked Bing's Chat GPT this same question, and it gave me a non-answer, so I'm turning to HN.

My questions range from coding details (e.g., LangChain), to theory questions (e.g., details about how embeddings are calculated) to tactical (in which situations to use various methods).
Internal employee controls have gotten way more sophisticated, and cared about since it's one of the things you need to do for business focused information security.
Love it!! The chunking stuff especially is really impressive. Hitting those token limits often is the annoying bit of working with LLMs.

A weird question: How do you feel about possibly ~wasted efforts of these techniques when gpt in a year or so is probably gonna be 100k+ in context length? I've felt this a bit. E.g. I really want to create a 'massive document' conversational agent but I'm doing around 90% of work just juggling and preempting token constraints with super hueristic indexing. I just feel it's all a bit.. wasted, in terms of effort. At some point the LLM apis (openai, claude, ..) will just accept massive zips of code and use them as entire prompts without need for these creative trickeries. Thoughts?

Oh! And have you tried out the function-calling APIs? I see you've found that XML is far more reliable as it's semantically enriched. I have found this to be the case as well, which is a shame because I really want the function-calling stuff to work equally well.

I'm loving stuff like this that starts to pseudo-expand the token limit.
How would a person go from the sources posted on github to the binaries that get flashed? I don't see anything in https://github.com/MrChromebox that seems to be actual build scripts, without which the numerous other repos are less than useful
I'm glad that in the face of decades of research, you boiled avoiding Alzheimer's down to just a few paragraphs. Well done!

Google Chrome officially removing the download bar for a new tray UI
I think it’s a disingenuous to use this argument. Even if you drive at 25mph on a flat road on a day with moderate temperatures and no wind, Tesla’s range drops quite a lot more than a mile for every mile driven. Like yeah, if you’re using air conditioning and driving at 70 mph, it makes sense your range will drop more. The problem is that they’re pretending under ideal conditions, you can achieve that max range, but ideal conditions would literally require you to turn its computer off, which would not be possible to do as a consumer.
As always, any press release about "quantum" is fake.

What is "H-4"? How could this be used in solar panels? Did they use quantum computers for anything other than to spice up the press release?

>No because Netflix is not a one time purchase, it allows to use the service for as long as you have an active subscription

Suppose netflix added a $10 upfront cost for subscriptions to combat people churning subscriptions or whatever. Would that make it justified to download all the shows they let you?

I shouldn't know, because I don't subscribe to netflix :^)

The irony isn't lost on me, but we're recommending a method to safely wean off the substance to prevent having withdrawal symptoms, which have prevented me from coming off from caffeine in the past.

I wouldn't frame starting up again as a failure. Quitting short vs. long term are two different things.
For something like this the privacy policy should be rock solid first, product mvp second. The brevity of the one you have in place seems like you haven't done any work on gdpr / ccpa, etc.

It's somewhat baffling to me that this comment is still here and hasn't been flagged to death. Does someone have a citation for the claims made here, or are they as tinfoil hat as they sound?

I can't find anything like this except for on Conspiracy Wiki, which is... not a great source. Every legitimate source I can find describes "crown land" in the non-UK Commonwealth as effectively just being the Commonwealth version of federal land in the US.

(Edit: to clarify, they've mixed in some legitimate truths about some quirky historical artifacts to do with the City of London. I'm objecting to the whole shadowy conspiracy allegations—unless there are some solid citations it doesn't feel appropriate for HN.)
I often write some little toolets in Elixir, just to hone skills and give myself an opportunity to explore the libray. Often after I e first written it in Python. I agree it feels a little misaligned, but it’s nice to be able to use it for other reasons.
That's not what you think but some additional nonsense like turning off ICMP replies on the wan interface.

If you only get one public ipv4 assigned by your ISP, there is simply no way to set it up in a way that every device on your network is reachable from the internet on all ports with just one click.
I had a friend buy a Model Y Long Range (EPA 326mi) over a Mach E AWD Extended Range (EPA 270mi) mainly because the Y supposedly had better advertised range (they were similarly priced at the time). 56mi of range along with the big mental idea of a bit over 300 or under 300.

In Edmonds testing the difference was really only 13mi. Really not that significant in the end.
I'd be hard pressed to imagine a greater waste of resources than to include all possible hardware in all possible sold goods, with only some of the features enabled. That maximizes waste with only a portion of buyers able to use those things.

I read this a while ago- but long after I had sort of learned to do data modelling in SQL on my own (badly). It's actually a pretty nice introduction to the series of concepts modellers need to understand for good schema design. I really like the ordering of a progressive set of improvements.
