AI is multi-modal and is generating stories based on engagement.
<tinfoil hat>

I mean, we're all waiting for the "AI can now do everything announcement", but what if it just starts doing everything and telling us stories we want.

I can't personally verify LK-99, twitter, UFO's or the submarine story, but they're all highly entertaining.
Er, it was never a strategy in the first place? Or this is just a joke? :)

But to be clear, law enforcement agents (all as far as I'm aware) are allowed to do illegal things to catch their mark. In the US at least, this is not entrapment unless they forcibly coerce you to do something you normally wouldn't; just smoking or snorting some stuff in a casual setting isn't enough, they'd have to have you more or less at gunpoint or threatening in another way to make you do it.

Just a very important fact for people to remember: Law enforcement agents in the US can and will lie frequently and do illegal things in pursuit of their goal.

Entrapment does not mean what most people think it does, so it's not good to rely on this, as entrapment has a very narrow legal definition far away from the layperson definition.
The quality or condition of being useful; usefulness.

A useful article or device.

The most glaring example is the one I already posted above - countries hanging onto it for the times they need to settle outside of more traditional finance channels.

Blind Soldering Basics
I run six days a week. I tried seven and kept getting injured, it's important to get some rest or cross train. In a perfect world (or one where I had access to a pool) I would alternate running and swimming.
imagine your house catching random fire just like Lithium ion batteries sometimes do while you are asleep.

or some random dude (or a tree fall) punctures the wall of your house and sets it on fire
These people would rather stunt humanities growth than come up with alternative energy solutions.

Notice how they always complain but never actually suggest solutions, like setting up more modern nuclear power plants or funding fusion R&D.

No, they are just looking to sell doom and clicks so to them solving the problem would actually put them out of work.
I usually cook on stainless steel or cast iron but let’s not be facetious — there’s nothing like non-stick.
There isn’t much to report.
Thinking of it this way just as an exercise also leads you directly into how constructed the entire idea of crime even is.

All these articles in mainstream papers the last few years fomenting a panic about rising crime, calling it crime waves, etc. They are not talking about this. Because they don't mean this. We don't, for the most part, consider these to be crimes. Sometimes we may use that word, but you don't see the same flood of op-eds and public official press conferences calling for retributive justice.

Similar shit elsewhere. Shoplifting is a crime but hundreds of millions in wage fraud is just bad accounting, etc etc.
I wrote a book and two movies in Emacs.

Yes, way more productive. One movie was a collaboration too... he also wrote in a plain text editor, but I think it was TextMate on the Mac.

One thing I also like about writing in plain text (later using Fountain, a Markdown variant) is that I can ignore formatting rules completely. Also, we were saving everything to Dropbox, and I had a server checking out the Dropbox folder and monitoring it. After a while of no changes it would "compile" a new version of the project by concatenating the files and generating a PDF using pandoc and other tools.

I expanded upon it a bit more here: https://usesthis.com/interviews/matt.lee/

I’m with Gorsuch in thinking the Federal Analogue Act(banning designer drugs) is unconstitutional nor is it good policy, but if the majority want it why not pass similar legislation?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Analogue_Act

Or instead of outright banning pass onerous taxes so that it’s only used in applications that absolutely must have it and not every throw away piece of clothing and wrapper.

Giving the DEA or another executive agency more authority here seems like a terrible idea but sometimes I’m not in the majority and I understand that.
This article has severe methodological errors. It fails to consider the Oregon stats in the context of other states. Oregon's change in OD rates have not been exceptional, and have more or less followed the trend of other states, while being greatly better compared to states like W. Virginia.

As always, states that are "tough on drugs" get a free pass regardless of how bad their outcomes are, and states that legalize it are scrutinized even when their outcomes are no worse.
So they went from 1 bit symbols (0=white, 1=black), to 3 bit (rgb) symbols. You should get 2^3=8 possible states per pixel vs 2... So isn't there a better encoding that would give you 4x capacity? Maybe that strays too far from the standard?
Uber as a company started making a lot less sense when it became clear they wouldn't crack self driving cars (remember when they did self driving?). The current moat is far less defensible.
People do weed to combat major depressive disorder to stay functional. Your comment and the original are filled with assumptions and give way too much credit to the pharmaceutical industry to not be screwing us over with these psychiatric meds. I don’t push my anti-psychiatric meds personal feelings on any one except people who are super judgmental about weed. I haven’t looked studies up for any of this stuff but I have enough personal experience to understand what works well enough for me.

A relative drinks tea all day. They tried to compare another relatives cigarette smoking and their tea drinking to my weed usage. Both of those people can’t go a day without their substance. That seems to be an addiction.
Geopolitics would like to have a word, unfortunately.
As I understand it the drug use screening in a security clearance isn't so much because the government are squares but it's that illegal drug use is something that could be used to blackmail you. The worry is if the KGB learns about your cocaine habit they could confront you and demand you work for them as a double agent or they'll expose your illegal activities and ruin your life.
I haven't seen a particularly great explanation that explains why this is such a positive discovery that is copy/paste/digestable. No MSM outlet is going to run this story unless they can say an impact.

Yeah, exactly the same caste system. I didn't say only waiters were in a lower caste. This kind of bullshit is everywhere.

Some establishments pool the tips (cash ones) and use to distribute it to the bussers (don't know about the cooking staff). Obviously this was not a universal practice.
> Is the value we get from an astronaut doing work in space worth the carbon footprint of a few American families for a year? I think so, I get the sense that you don't agree. That's fine.

You make it sound like we get a lot of value from astronauts surviving in space, and that the CO2 footprint of the space business is almost nothing.

I disagree with both. They don't really make any useful work (that could not be done by robots) other than surviving there, and the carbon footprint of the space business is going to grow much bigger (if those companies are successful) than what you seem to believe.

> it's less clear, but it's a close-enough estimate for setting the context in an internet comment

It surely is convenient to ignore them :-)
I agree. If somebody from Iraq did this to a US river, it would a catastrophic act of bioterrorism, an act of war warranting death by drone without trial.

Maybe calling it corporate bioterrorism (though a bit hyperbolic) could shift the overton window into somewhere closer to reality.
Good idea! They wouldn't have been able to do any applications without a voltaic cell, and it would have been a novelty. Like gunpowder in ancient China.

I don't use Nano but I've considered it. It seems like writing on a tty would be the closest digital equivalent to using a typewriter, though, and I've found that a single-function device for writing reduces distractions significantly.

Not really the same as Nano/vim, but I recently switched to using Obsidian/IAwriter and writing everything in plaintext markdown. I haven't used a "real" word processor more than 10 times in the last few years I'd say, and then only for professional stuff. The reduced overhead is something I don't see myself ever going back from. Similarly, I think Nano-only would be a viable approach.
If you do that, the driver might show up and then mark you as not at the pickup spot. Then you'll get charged the cancelation fee. It's really crappy, but a lot of drivers are figuring out how to work the system - as Uber figures out how to work them.
Any theory that cannot make a prediction isn't a theory but rather a data compression method.
That's not going to produce a 20x gain in efficiency. The primary problem with electric cars is energy density in the battery itself.

Maybe if mag-lev cars are possible, you could get that kind of gain from the reduced friction.
If you want to with backend only or machine learning specifically then definitely python.

> You'll have to explain what you mean by "most likely better"

If I knew, I would have started a startup with the idea :).

My high-level point is that there are some pros to periodic physical meetups with colleagues (in an office?). And my prediction is predicated on two things: 1. Those needs still need to be solved 2. There are folks that prefer working from something like an office.

In no way do I want to draw “workers to an office that a bunch of them don't want to be in for all of the reasons HN has listed.”. Tho I think there is some balance for most folks.

I’m pro options. I’m anti black and white. What HN lists on this topic are usually one sided takes.
Another advantage to push is that it can be pretty straightforwardly distributed—just replace the "push" mechanism with a queue connected to a network stack, and now your operators can run on different machines.

In a batch context this is most useful for sending computation to where the data is, but it's also the foundation for modern stream processing systems (like Flink or Arroyo) which are built over distributed dataflow DAGs.
The D aspect of the FMEA I worked on was motivated by a reliability requirement, not by 7150.2. 70's NASA was using FTA and FMEA but avoiding putting numbers on top-level analysis. I imagine they did whatever ad-hoc analysis they thought was necessary for such a highly publicized mission even if it wasn't a separate deliverable.

Edit: The comment you deleted right before I could reply was good! I think people would enjoy and benefit from your description of how the process works if you're willing to repost it.

As you noted the reliability requirement did in fact flow down from an engineering requirement which is why they exceeded the minimum FMEA standards. There's no official guidance on where and how exactly to track that information so they put it in the usual place but in an unusual way. The lack of a standard during Voyager's time probably impacted the visibility of the work more than the substance.
except it didn't and the deal is going through.
> and there's an entry that says something like "any similar chemical substance that causes the same pharmaceutical effects

The problem is that these PFAS chemicals do things that are useful, and banning any future useful inventions isn't nearly as desirable.
It's a gimmicked card used to create a break in the deck (for controlling where to cut). Earlier in the video, you can clearly see it (or another gimmicked card) creating a break (gap) in the deck. The pop at 2:15-2:20 is a slight vibration (due to the flipping card) causing the card so slide or pop to become more visible.
Libraries stagnate in the batteries included. Python carries some dead batteries since the 90's, but they are required there.

While it's nice to have path or logging support in the batteries, some other things are better as third parties, to allow them to evolve.
ahaha using the question as a dumb detector.
The question is what happens once you want to transition from your RTX 4090 to a business. It might be cute to generate 10 tokens per second or whatever you can get with whatever model you have to delight your family and friends. But once you want to scale that out into a genuine product - you're up against the ramp. Even a modest inference rig is going to cost a chunk of change in the hundreds of thousands. You have no real way to validate your business model without making some big investment.

Of course, it is the businesses that find a way to make this work that will succeed. It isn't an impossible problem, it is just a seemingly difficult one for now. That is why I mentioned VC funding as appearing to have more leverage over this market than previous ones. If you can find someone to foot the 250k+ cost (e.g. AI Grant [1] where they offer 250k cash and 350k cloud compute) then you might have a chance.

Examples like this are outnumbered by "revolutionary" technologies that never left the lab. It's ok to be skeptical about something so early in development. If they're able to scale the technology and make it practical then it will be time to get excited.
Is not like we lose 5% of the stuff and that's it.

We lose it to HEAT and that has a lot of limitations like the stuff melting and exploding.

>Are these forever chemicals an actual big deal? Do we have any numbers on how many people or animals they injure or kill every year?

One study estimates about 30,000 to 120,000 people killed in America per year, with many more in the rest of the word. The EPA thinks reducing PFAS exposure now could save thousands of human lives per year and prevent tens of thousands of cases of human illnesses.

>How about projections into the future?

We really don't know. However, the numbers seem to have gone down significantly in recent years, perhaps due to a change in which PFAS people are exposed to.

>What kind of benefit do they allow manufacturers?

Calling PFAS miracle chemicals would be an understatement. Short chain PFAS (the dangerous kind) enable us to make PTFE, which makes surfaces almost friction-less, is compatible with almost every chemical, is largely bio-compatible, and lets water vapor through while keeping out liquid water (useful for things like waterproof jackets which don't trap sweat). They have a wide variety of other applications as well.

Oof wow definitely not. The magic of latex is in the automatic figure numbering, captions, table of contents etc. For a thesis length document, it’s crazy to me to imagine doing that in word.

That being said, I had some typos in my thesis without an auto spell check, which I was surprised to discover later.
Cast iron really isn't difficult to maintain, at least I'm lazy as hell and don't do anything special and mine are fine. I think cast iron gets a reputation for being this whole thing because some of us turbo nerd on it.
In the UK that's correct because those kinds of positions pay a reasonable wage. In the US, restaurant workers can easily be making less than minimum wage without tips. (The legality is weird and varies by state, but my understanding is that "traditionally tipped" jobs like waitstaff are exempt from minimum wage regulations on the assumption the tips will make up the gap. The restaurant owner is required to make up the gap if tips don't, so in theory you could just not tip and implicitly force the restaurant owner to raise wages that way, but in practice restaurants are the kind of low-legal-enforcement business in the US where owners already frequently try to under-pay staff so this strategy would probably mostly just hurt workers.)

So my personal approach to tipping in the US is that it starts at a base level as appropriate compensation, and goes up from there for quality of service (or very rarely goes down if service is atrocious).

Idk where you live but all buses I have seen have no expectation of privacy, a bunch of people sitting inside, a driver and usually cameras. If you do... things... you must be insane and also cops meet you at the next stop.

If you live in suburban wasteland with crappy transportation then sure you need a car and I am sorry if you have to share one. But here in the city carsh is pointless. Taxi/bus/rail is for people who can do something better with their time than operate machinery.

No, it's the EU that mandated those popups - an asinine solution to the tracking problem. The EU gets the blame.

Electric cars aren't affordable because America's workforce is underpaid
Yes it makes it more feasible. But even with superconductors, you still need to build out the long-distance grids. With ceramics, manufacturing that much powerline might be the challenge. With the maximum current density reported for this material, you might need a huge x-sectional area.

You still have to worry about batteries. Unless if you place equal numbers of panels separated by 120° meridians for example.

And then there is coordination between governments. This is probably where such an initiative might fail.
Yeah, definitely. Right now most are still in the "can't imagine not having a car, and want to make sure that that car can take them everywhere" state of mind. If more people walked/could walk, maybe we'd prioritize making places actually nice to walk, instead of super uncomfortable, right next to loud speeding cars.

I was looking at our local zoning laws, and it doesn't look like you're allowed to make a non-car-dependent mixed-use development, thanks to density restrictions and parking requirements. Hopefully as sentiment changes, we can change more of those zoning laws.
