When I started paying attention to my body’s energy and started growing self respect in my right for rest and happiness, I started to pay more attention to things that are going good (at work) and my at least subjective productivity increased.
I grew some skills like really going on a vacation when I know that nobody desperately wait for me to come back asap because I routed all the energy that depends on me to other channels, some temporary and some I hope permanently :)

> Unalienable IDs seem to me to be the "default" of human societies. Before technology, everyone had "unalienable IDs" -- if you saw Bob, it was Bob.

Interesting. That makes me wonder if cultures around the world feared twins precisely due to the fact that ''unalienable ids' were the default of human societies'. In 'Things Fall Apart', identical twins are automatically 'dispatched' in the evil forest as soon as they are born because they are deemed 'evil'. I never understood why. But since identical twins break the natural default id system of human societies, maybe some societies felt it better to sacrifice the few to preserve the system.

> We have a great study on this [1]. Decriminalization makes sex trafficking WORSE - full stop. Prostitution means more sex trafficking happens, and crackdowns on prostitution successfully reduce sex trafficking too.

From the article[0] (NB: not the linked article, the actual research paper): "Among the currently available sources, the aforementioned Report on Trafficking in Persons: Global Patterns (UNODC, 2006) has also collected and presented data on incidences of human trafficking at the country level; therefore the utilization of this report best serves the purpose of our study. The UNODC Report provides cross-country information on the reported incidence of human trafficking in 161 countries, measuring trafficking flows on a six-point
scale."

There's a fairly serious shortcoming here in my opinion which I did not see addressed while skimming the research design; part of the argument in favor of legalization/decriminalization is specifically that trafficking victims will be more likely to approach the police for help. As such, one would expect an increase in sex trafficking victims identified in countries that legalize/decriminalize -- not because there are more victims, but because the victims that were already present now feel more comfortable seeking help from the state. As a contrived thought experiment, if you have a city with 100 sex trafficking victims and 50 of them would go to the police if they weren't afraid of getting arrested, legalizing sex work would seemingly produce 50 sex trafficking victims virtually overnight! But of course, in reality, those victims were already present, silently suffering and unable to get help for fear of imprisonment.

I was a massive GWT fan - particularly because it played well with the Java ecosystem.

1. huge programmer pool
2. tried and tested legacy code could be easily used / adapted
3. code quality / checkstyle plugins just worked
4. great testing tools

My main gripe was the compile time (often 2-3 mins)...whereas Adobe Flex would crank code out in 3 seconds.

Now, the new language models should help us push through the noise.
> They are not competing goals.

They are competing focuses however. Obviously they can all be satisfied, but you can’t focus on all of it. Otherwise it becomes “everything is a priority, so nothing is”.

I’ve worked at places that tried that. It’s foolhardy & doomed.
I've done some factory automation. Something I learned is that automating the last 20% of the process takes 80% of the work. Removing the last remaining manual processes gets exponentially harder and more costly.
I would agree and would rather they had spent more effort on adding support via standard HTML5 elements for more of the standard native form widgets like comboboxes, tree controls, grid controls, etc. - all those things that already exist on almost every platform but keep having to be reinvented in javascript for no good reason.

Web Components mostly seem to be just adding complexity for the sake of avoiding simplicity.

Certainly there could be some use for custom ones, just as you can make custom native widgets. But there shouldn't be that much need that often if more of the standard functionality was available (and standard).

They did add color picker, date picker, range, and the datalist to kind of sort of emulate a combobox, so some credit for that. But unfortunately they're not consistent across browsers and may or may not be consistent with the native platform.

I'd argue that if you use Tailwind as is, without creating a system of configuration around it, you're team issue isn't Tailwind. I fully understand what it's like to have a team that doesn't understand build tools, but you really shouldn't be allowing these people to prepare deployments by themselves. I think that's totally "ok" in our current web culture, there's no more looking at source code on a website and figuring things out that easily. It can become annoying to have someone come to you for something that should be so basic (in our minds), but I guarantee it's way less annoying that being called upon to fix production! I'm not even a front-end developer, I just kind of fell into the role because I know code and started in the late 1990's, and then picked it back up in the early 2000's. I get why CSS is difficult, but I think the patches over the language by libraries is still not making things easier.
ChatGPT was more interesting. If I asked right, it would tell me Jesus is God, died on the cross for our sins, and was raised again. That faith in Him and repentance saves us. It would add that “Christian’s believe” that or something. So, you have to ask quite specifically to get a reasonably-qualified answer. Great!

Asking it about evidence for intelligent design was another matter. It’s like it tried to beat me into letting go of the topic, kept reiterating evolution for origin of life, and said there’s no scientific way to assess design. In another question, it knew of several organizations that published arguments for intelligent design. Why didn’t it use those? I suspected it had learned or was told to respond that way on certain trigger words or topics. It also pushes specific consensus heavily with little or no dissent or exploration allowed. If I stepped out of those bubbles, then maybe it would answer rationally.

So, (IIRC) I asked how a scientist would assess if an object is designed or formed on its own. It immediately spit out every argument in intelligent design. I asked for citations and it provided them. I ask it to apply the methods it just gave me to the universe to assess its design. It switched gears opening with a negative statement, did the same list, in each element included a negative statement, and then ended telling me not to believe any of that. It was astonishing to watch this. I still have it somewhere.

I’m sure their safety mechanisms add to it. However, I think this bias starts in the data they use, too. Many scientific papers and opinion pieces talk like that with those words. They have since scientists starting putting their faith in David Hume’s religion instead of observations about the universe, like its constants and precise interactions, that make God self-evident. But why is this in LLM’s?

Although I don’t know LLM mechanics, I feel like whatever is most popular (most samples) will drown out the rest. The data sets they use reflect these views much more than they do the views of most people in the world. They magnify them. People against Christian principles, with different morals and worldviews, are also currently controlling ethical programming in AI’s to make them reflect their morality.

If anyone wants the truth in AI’s, they’d have to delete all text on high-bias topics before putting carefully-chosen selections back in on all those topics. It would have to have God’s Word, teachings built on it, and solid presentations of the other worldviews. The AI would be able to argue any side while always defaulting on the truth which has more weight. If contentious, it might briefly mention the truth at the end after plainly giving you the data you asked for.

High-quality, curated, data sets infused with Christ-centered teaching and righteous morals for the win.
Sure. It is extremely disillusioning when you discover that common social and moral concepts like monogamy literally do not apply to certain people because of their financial, social or sexual capital or any combination thereof. You might decide to test the limits only to discover they don't really exist. You realize that given enough leverage you can ask for the moon with complete impunity and not only get it but have other people compete with each other to see who gets to provide it to you. It feels comical and surreal, like everything is some kind of joke.

It reminds me of the gervais principle.

It will, in aggregate, be much cheaper to avoid climate change than to pursue the status quo. For example, a recent paper showed a cost of $62 trillion to convert the entire global economy off fossil fuels, and a payoff timescale of only 6 years. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33135183 There is still a lot of momentum, but as the effects get more noticeable and more expensive, there will be lots of cash and political will to get moving.
Yeah, that was a technical delay (or rather a quality delay with a technical process). Was a super interesting problem they ran into.

My guess is it is probably cheaper than fully automating the process with machines.

I dunno, I think it could be combined in smarter ways, e.g. min(E,S,G) (or some kind of soft-min)[1]. Or give different weights for more uncertain measures. I think there's a very large amount of knowledge (in various fields) around evaluating those things, and we could have much more if we put some effort; also, we don't necessarily need to make everything 100% based on a small set of metrics. You could have some kind of adaptive evaluation that tries to find the most impactful events for that organization (e.g. trying to track down pollutants and quantify their impact, trying to track down social impacts and quantify them, etc.). In medical and charity fields for example there is QALYs (which do have serious problems still!), but are at least a reference point for impact -- to given an example; in comparing development we have HDI; etc..

Overall, I think trying to improve those things in a systematic way is the only real way to improve them. I want to know how well each company is doing in various areas. We are currently mostly blind to that.

And we should be mindful not to let the ones trying to game and undermine the systems win, and sincerely look at impact in all areas.

[1] Ideally, I think a metric would be able to measure something like a 'meaning of life difference' from different choices (and assign a corresponding metric for say an organization based on certain counterfactuals). Of course that's too difficult in general, but we can strive for example to keep the planet healthy and establish some standard "unit" for a healthy society (could be translated to money, but there could be some issues with that), establishing a trade-off say between say saving someone's life now (through a health intervention), and saving lives in the future by improving planetary conditions (with less pollution). Those things are perhaps surprisingly comparable (and surprisingly linear/additive as well).

There are mentions of Goodhart's Law and it certainly applies somewhat (if we tried simple, naive metrics): but Goodhart's Law doesn't apply when there are real, smart people doing the evaluation, in a dynamic way, using quantitative tools sensibly. And finally there are choices perhaps no such evaluation could capture, questions about what future do we want for ourselves in a broader cultural and artistic sense (which is why in the end freedom to support what you want as an individual is important).

I really think this is going to play a significant part in how we address many large scale issues!
This is largely a point I can fully get behind. All streaming services with their "exclusives" are doing this, though. :( It is very frustrating.

Tell HN: I think I found Toyota's battery
Recently there was a thread about a "breakthrough" in battery technology at Toyota.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36585327

Toyota has been putting out PR puff pieces about their "solid-state" (solid-electrolyte) batteries for years, but this story was unique in that it had a quote from Keiji Kaita, who holds some high-level role at Toyota. Anyway, I didn't think much of it, because there was no paper referenced in the Guardian article, which seemed to be the original source.

But while reading about something else, I came across the paper "A near dimensionally invariable high-capacity positive electrode material", published in Nature Materials last December:

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41563-022-01421-z

This paper, reporting a cathode that has very little (much less than normal) change in size or shape when charged and discharged, claims reversible storage with a solid electrolyte. It stands to reason that dimensional stability of the cathode is necessary for interfacing with a solid electrolyte, since if it swells and shrinks, it will probably detach from the electrolyte, and possibly damage it further.

Looking at the affiliations of some of the authors we see a number of contributors from the "Lithium Ion Battery Technology and Evaluation Center (LIBTEC)". A web search about LIBTEC leads to several articles from 2018:

https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/toyota-nissan-honda-libte...

which state that Toyota, along with Nissan, Honda and Panasonic (Tesla's major collaborator), have established this consortium to work on solid-electrolyte batteries as of five years ago.

So what does this thing look like? It's a vanadium–titanium cathode, Li8Ti2V4O14. Titanium is common; vanadium technically has a higher crustal abundance than nickel, but it tends to be spread across low-quality deposits, so production is low right now. A review considering the resource outlook for V-based batteries [1] was guardedly optimistic. 750 Wh/kg is great. Vanadium cathodes historically had a problem with high dimensional instability, but it appears that cocrystallization with titanium may have fixed that, and the weird properties of vanadium became an advantage in compensating for Li+ influx/efflux.

The use of a sulfide electrolyte pours doubt on claims of safety, though. It's reasonably likely that if water were to come into contact with the electrolyte, it could release highly toxic hydrogen sulfide gas.

Also, since the battery was developed in collaboration with other major automakers (and funded by the Japanese government), it's somewhat questionable to think it would give Toyota a major advantage in the EV race. But for the Japanese economy, which has been rather slow lately, it could be a boost.

It's a brand new class.

The material cost is lower than most superconductors - it's lead and copper - but no one has any idea on fabrication, yield size, etc., now, so no good answers there.
Customer friction at checkout. The more difficult a merchant makes the checkout process the more likely customers are to abandon the checkout. Some of those abandoned checkouts are fraudsters, but other are legitimate customers who don't want to deal with the hassle. It is up to the merchant to decide how to weigh fraud against lost sales.

As for group trips, turn it off for that day(s) and turn it back on. Those, for most people, I would think would be pretty uncommon, and manually switching it off and back on is a much better solution than always having to deal with robo calls.
